(00:49):
World Cup Nigeria Canada zero zero my Nigerian national team
that you gave me a half goal on yeh plus
a half yeah and corner kick sandwiches on the line.
Anxious moments whenever you get those set pieces into the game.
Very anxious, very I know very little about Nigeria except
I have them because I look, because I allowed you
(01:11):
to make the pick and you you pick Canada. I did.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I just figured the Canadians would overwhelm them with their
pleasant trees and their kindness, rowing them into a false
sense of security. Well every time they bump them off
the ball, saying sorry, we were here.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
The Nigerian head coach after the game, what was the
problem today, Well, I'll tell you they were just so nice.
I really, I mean, they really nice enough. You know that.
You know, well, look when they scored that goal because
our player tripped and then they helped her up, and
then you know, our defender was felt so so great
about that. She didn't guard the forward coming in with
the ball. After that was really very very I was
(01:50):
really surprised about that. They really, I mean, if they
weren't so nice, maybe we would have won.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Kept saying sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, running right through
then just say sorry.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I'm sorry, I'm very very polite. Everything they did so again,
Nigeria and Canada zero zero the United States place tomorrow night.
We're gonna get the game, can't a window. But before
we get to, hey, the story that's going to dominate
the NFL summer. Remember, you know, I hate to say
I told you sober Remember I told you the Orioles
were gonna win the Al East. Now they have a
(02:22):
three game in the lost column lead over the Rays
after winning tonight for three in ten innings. I told
you about the Orioles. I told you Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I told you, Yeah, we get we get the big
series this weekend. You did see the that they're having
a bat day. Is it a Billy Ripkin bat day
where it says blank you on the bottom of the knob? No,
it was a uh that's pretty good, like the Philippines Batman.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
There's a callback to the nineties for you right there.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Nineteen eighty nine Baby legendary movie. No, they're they're doing
a promotion. I'm not sure what day it is, but
I saw it creeping through the timelines of where they
they're gonna hand this stuff out as you leave the stadium,
which means as of the sixth inning you can go
get your your commemorative bet, which means folks are gonna
(03:11):
leave early because they don't want to leave without them.
You don't get it until you leave.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, it's very difficult. I want to stay. I want
the bat but what do I do? It's very hard to.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
What's it looking like in the sixth am, I seeing
a stream of people. Yeah, whatever, I mean, at least
I guess until beer sales end.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Well, aren't they the same thing? Isn't bat night and
also ten cent beer night? Isn't it the same doing
the same promotion. Here's your beer and your bat. Good luck,
have a good night. We'll see in this line again
in about five minutes. Crazy, here's your beer, here's your bet. Yeah,
let's see, it's every bat giveaway. I get a bat too.
(03:50):
So it's so it's actually tomorrow right. As part of
this series the Battle for first Place. So game starts
six forty uh huh.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Your ticket includes the opper tunity, the opportunity to receive
the Wander Franco bat giveaway, and it's like it's given
out upon exit and exiting giant letters from the game.
Starting in the sixth inning, fans can pick up the
bat at any exit gate. For fans looking to pick
up the bat before the sixth inning, gates two and
three will be open for pickup and exit only. It's
(04:21):
you take the bat, you leave much about a time.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
His bat's not very big.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Each fan can receive one bat at a time, fans
cannot receive multiple giveaways at one time for others in
their party, even with multiple tickets, so then no bats
are permitted inside.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
It's only the giveaway where you can buy like a
whole boatload of tickets and walk out with all the bobbleheads.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Well, you had to walk in walk out, but you
have to go back and get them, like you have
to leave the facility and then you can come back through.
Is how they usually handle promosia when there's that kind
of demand. In this case, it's a bat and they
don't want possibly inebriated people run around.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
With I'm going out on a limb here. I'm gonna
give you a hot take. I don't think giving bats
out of the game is a good You know why
they did that.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
When we're with the White Sox many many years ago,
I had a nice Eric Sodder home team issued one.
Many a whiffle game played outside with that bat.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
They used to do it here at Dodger Stadium target.
It was a target giveaway for the big bats. Yeah
yet end well.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
No, I can't see would be fine. Yeah, they used
to do the mini bats, but.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, you started wrapping a guy upside the head yelling team.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Why does he keep yelling team?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I don't even know if they still do it. You
used to get a voucher after it was canceled.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, no, no, I don't. I don't think that you
can get I don't think you can get any What.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Do you think the insurances on that date? Is it
a higher premium that day than other days?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Sounds like four people at the trap, so maybe not
so much. This is where the owner of the team goes.
I'm just gonna sweat it out for the next eight hours.
I want you to follow the police scatter. Tell me
if you hear anything anything at all on our premises.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Is it one that that extends, like, say, someone commits
an act of violence long after the game is done
with the commembative bat they received from you at a game.
Are you still liable for having handed out said bat?
What would Sweet James or any of the many billboard
renting attorneys in Los Angeles?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You know, you call Sweet James, they just answer regularly.
They don't say sweep James that. Yeah. Yeah, we called
once just to see how he would answer the phone.
How they just got with you just called her and
they and I wanted to say.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
There are just some corridors on the highways of LA
for the national audience that she just and I think
in most towns it's the same thing. In Chicago, it's
the all right, we're now in the Urlocker hair Head district.
But here it's all different attorneys trying to get your
business injured in an accident.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Remember, let's not get too far away from the big
point here, Paul Jacob, I told you the Orioles we're
going to win the Al East, and here they are
told you. I told you, I told you a month
and a half ago they were going to win the
Al East. Doesn't matter. Look how good the Rays are.
Orioles are right there. They are. They are years beyond
the young team they are. They did win games very workmanlike.
There's no high of emotion and we go on streaks.
(07:14):
They are just they are just consistent. Man. Watch out
the Orioles. The era of the Orioles is back. The

a story that's going to take us through the rest
of the summer. Look o tany Watch twenty twenty three.
Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow.
It's gonna take us through the next couple of weeks,
but taking us through the rest of the summer. The
New York Jets open training camp Aaron Rodgers practice today.
The cameras were there. It was glorious and before I
(08:00):
get to the sky is falling apart for the Jets. Now, yeah,
let's hear this is a big day. Look, I mean
the whole everybody in the NFL was was a very
cognizant of the fact that hard knock starts today. The
Jets reported a training camp and had their first practice.
Jerry Jones was asked about the Jets practicing for the
first time today what he thought about it. This is
(08:21):
what he said. Loans changes gets hit, the bulls lose,
Jets alive. That's nice. That's the one we know right there.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Not to put Rogers into that clip.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
No, this was this was Jerry Jones being asked about
the Jets and starting training camp and how exciting it was.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I think the right day for the NFL.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Excited.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I think day I'm excited about.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Here it is. That's a hallmark day for the NFL. Here,
it is hallmark day. I think I think you got
that in the wrong place. He was asked to know
he was asked about the Jets. They said, what do
you think about the Jets? Jets? Jets, Jets, And that's
what he said, hallmark big day.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
He said, he doesn't know who the Jets are.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Who is it? We haven't played that team in a
long time. So are there in the other conference? Yeah?
I don't know who they are. I don't know. He's funny,
is that the minor league team for the Giants? Like
when they bring somebody up, when the guy gets hurt
and they bring him up from the Jets, he comes
playing for the Giants. Out why the Giants so tough
last few years? How about that? I didn't know that.
Should have had that, should have had a could have
had a minor league football team. I could have called
(09:25):
it the Eagles. N I get to see what I did.
I could ahead that all right, everybody be here all week.
Try the corn beef all right?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
And I thought you were gonna make the joke that
he should have owned the Houston Texans while he was
at it. The one thing that comes off of all
of this, I mean Aaron Rodgers, and I know the
jokes and the parallels were there for Tom Brady of
he looked like he needs a sandwich. He leaned out.
He's ripped and jet when you get over carrying the extra, Yeah,
(09:55):
he's trying that baggage.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Carrot's green Bay. I want out anyway, whatever the hell
I want now, he's leaning. Look when you go in
in Ayahuascar, Richard, I think if you're if you're drinking
at tea and you're going into darkness retreats, you're not
eating your mind in it.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I don't think you're eating that much. Maybe not no,
but look here grubs that come through. I don't know.
I mean today today was like Christmas for me. Everything
was Look at Aaron Rodgers hand the ball off. Look
at him talk to Garrett Wilson after a busted route.
His impact on the team already is immense, and everybody
is at camp and at practicing. They're going crazy. They're
(10:32):
talking super Bowl. I mean, today is so great. Today
was so great. I'm looking on things. Look at Aaron Rodgers.
Look at that handoff with no pads on. He heads
it off to Michael Carter. Michael Carter was gonna get outside.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
It was so great.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
But knowing that this is when it will all fall
apart as good. This is when it could all fall apart. Right,
this is right now, This is when it could all
fall apart because the Jets, because we don't have this
kind of success doesn't happen. We don't have it. It doesn't happen.
It does. This is that, Hey, we had the off season.
Rogers is there, he's a jet, but he's not really
a jet. Now we're at practice. Okay, this is when
(11:07):
it all falls apart. This is when the rug gets
pulled out because it's like that person that's that that
gets a really uh great stroke of luck, whether in
business or personally, and they go, you know, I don't
know how I got. I'm not worthy of this. This
is I feel I'm.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Not worthy, say zero point one percent, I earned every
damn thing, idea I'm I'm.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I'm not worthy of this I don't. I don't. I
don't deserve this. That that's kind of how I feel like.
This doesn't happen for this doesn't happen for the Jets.
It doesn't. Well, it's great for today. I mean, yeah, looking,
he's actually he's taking snaps, he's handing it off. It's
not it's not something that, oh hey, something happened contract
wise and I'm gonna actually go play for the Dolphins. No, no,
it's all happening. But I mean it now is when
(11:47):
I go, Okay, if it falls apart, this is when
it falls apart. No, but it's good, right right, No,
that's that's but I mean you got to be a realist. Yeah,
that's that's me. Because here's the thing. If you're expecting disaster,
anything's an improvement. Jets fatalist party of one. That's me,
Jason Smith. You're not alone. There are many you. I
got the the buzzer right here that you gave me
for bad things with the Jets right here. Okay, what
(12:09):
is it? What don't have to worry?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Like the Jacks and the Green they are plural. The
the fact is that you've got a lot of weapons
on that squad, that people are pretty excitable about There's
no question a lot of interest want to see what
Roger's gonna say. And if he goes and takes the
tact that many believe with the he's unhappy about it,
(12:31):
well it gets that much more entertaining because now he's
gonna have the acid tongue. He's going to be a
man a few words. You know, we talked about it,
the change of hard knocks because they don't want to
show people getting cut. I think that the best uh
and I don't know who to attribute it to, but
I best the best solution was to do either a
TV funhouse kind of like animated version of it, or
(12:53):
or if they weren't striking, they had a couple of
Jets fan actors do their impression of how the conversation
would go.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Sure, I think that works, but yeah, again, you're breaking
a lot of sag after laws. No, you can't do
it now. I mean when Dylan's is standing next to
Dermott mulroney at you know exception right, you know that's serious,
right with Dylan mc dermott, dermottmulrody your next week.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I sent that to you just for that that fact.
The world is ending. That's that's that. Do you know
how serious this whole thing is?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Right now? Have they ever been seen in the same
room before then?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I don't think so. I mean you had you had
Mandy Patinkin holding a sign that says you you killed
my royalties for Yeah. But this, I mean, this is
so great. But this is when it falls apart. This
is all I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Look, it's you've had nice I've had my run day,
you had your nice things, like the Jets have been
standing there for photo day and you had.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
That first workout. The Jets have been the champions of
the last six months of the NFL. Granted there were
no games and it was getting Aaron Rodgers. We've been
the champion of the last six months. So now is
when we had that. Now is when you know, hey,
the championship fall apart and you have to rebuild. We
have to rebuild now exactly. He just every day, every
day and for the rest of July and August, I'm
(14:08):
gonna wake up. How to practice go today? How to
practice go today?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
You're really gonna be scared because Frostburg and I send
you a lot of text about stories and randomnes today
during the day, like you're gonna you're gonna be avoiding
your phone altogether.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Oh no, no, no, I can always tell when you
guys send me something that is that that is bad.
I can always tell. And you're not the only ones.
You're not. It's like people wait to go, oh, something
bad happened one of Jason seems. I can't wait to
text them now. It's it's it's science, that's how it goes.
I can't wait to tell them, Hey, look what happened
to you? Man? That great thing? No, I usually want
to do that in person. I mean, we want to watch.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
The color leave your face.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
When it all falls apart, Man, it all falls apart.
Zach Wilson out performing Aaron Rodgers. All these things are
gonna all all to stop telling you, man, isn't when
it all falls apart? The Jets can't have nice things.
What is it going to be? What's it going to be?
It's not really Aaron Aaron Rodgers impersonator. Rogers actually retired
a year ago and is like living in Antarctica somewhere
(15:07):
to science station, and he just found out that the
alien is in a dog and he's chasing across. Sorry,
went I went whole thing on you right there, maybe
and you can find that out. I really you went
back on way back to forty three years. I always
want to put it in nineteen eighty. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Well, Jay's people, I don't think a lot of he
was educating the masses. It was Neil, you know, no
zero zero.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
It was It is like talking about tennis the other
day when we had to keep saying love.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Forty love, forty love, forty forty nothing, forty forty fifteen,
forty twenty. Oh, it's a blow out, it's fifty nothing. Oh,
it's it's halftime a Jets game. What does that mean?
Forty fifteen? All right? Got it? All right?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
And then you say point and break and it's like,
all right, let's go. Let's talk about the classic we
had Swayzey and Kah we.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Haven't been and Anthony Keatis don't forget right? And is
it Whitley from Ugly Kid? Joe in it too good?
Isn't he in it? I don't? And I hate everything
about you. How about a bizarre story from Major League
Baseball and then a more bizarre one from the NBA? Okay, good,
I was like, bizarre, the stories of the bizarre. You've
(17:16):
probably heard the name. We've talked about him on the
show a little bit here, Jared Kellnick for the last
few years, he went over in the Robinson Cano trade
from the Mets to the Mariners. The Mariners who maybe
it's my fault that they're slumping because I picked them
to go to the World Series. I could be it
could be all my fault. It probably does have something,
you know. I haven't. I haven't. I haven't been on
(17:37):
there with Softy since I He's like, he's like, do
you want to come on like once a month, once
a month talk? I said, yeah, sure, and then I said,
the marin is gonna go to the World Series. Ever
since then, Nope, haven't been on at all. Nope, haven't
on kJ R at all. Haven't gotten a phone call
at all till you might.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Have done a listener poll to decide that you were banned.
Whose fault is it, Jason Smith, It's all in the
culture of your head. Picked us for the World Series,
and one think so Kelmick, who finally after one of
the top prospects in baseball for the last few years.
I don't want to say he broke through this year
because his war is zero, but he's actually playing a
(18:14):
lot better than he ever has been.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Before. Right, he's on his way to a below average season,
not an awful season, but he's on his way to
below average season. Now that has gotten derailed because he's
on the injured list now because last night he got
very mad during a game and kicked the water cooler,
broke a bone in his foot. He is now out.
No one knows how long. He gave a very teary
(18:38):
interview today with the media. Say sorry, dude, don't be
an idiot. Don't kick a bleeping water cooler. Man, Come on,
come on, But I want to say this because this
is what I really can't understand. Right. What when's the
last time you heard her story about a water cooler
that ended well for someone?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Definitely not no, no, Only if you're trying to win
bets for sam or or share a cup of coffee.
Water coolers don't end well. How do Major League teams
still use water coolers? Why don't they use something else? Well,
you don't want a bunch of disposable bottle, But how
about how about a water cooler? Is that when you
kick it it doesn't cause you to break something? It
should be built in. Why do we have built into
(19:19):
the wall? Got a thick plexic glass, or you put
it in, you put it in a holder, but it
stays against the wall and that's where it goes. Looks
like it's a beer dispenser. Pull the handle. I mean,
we need some kind of advancement in the water cooler technology.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
You put a slam man in that they put a
forearm into instead of taking their frustrations out on the
water cooler.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Or hey, you know, hey, you're upset, going the rage
room is right in here. You know what, Here, here's.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
The wander Franco bat rage room. Here's the pitcher that
just vexed you again. I mean, look, you're you're an
idiot for kicking the water cooler.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I mean, I mean the fact that he's crying and
they going, I'm so sorry, Yeah you should be. I mean,
but how do teams not understand that, okay, that that
players get upset and we don't want them to smack
a water cooler and go how do you not have
something else or have them in a spot where they
can't pull them off the wall? I understand, I understand
how major league teams don't do that. It's it's like
(20:14):
you're asking for it. You're asking for it to say, well,
here's a water cooler route, and if someone strikes out
coming off, what's gonna happen when they kick it or
pick it up or want to throw it and they
want to hit it with their hand. How about you
to get rid of those? How about you get rid
of those?
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah, I would say this. You're also expecting your Major
League ballplayers to be able to handle adversity, perhaps a
little bit better.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Again, I ask you the question I asked three minutes ago.
When has there been a story involving a water cooler
that's gone well for either the player or the water cooler? No?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
No, And I get that, But it's also a small
percentage of dopes who are doing this, Like when we
whenever people get worried about this shield, that shield, any
any shields, Like forget about the ninety eight percent of
your guys that aren't getting in trouble, that are raising families,
that are active in their communities.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Et cetera. Just because it's a couple of guys.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
And look, you want to eradicate that and take that
as close to zero as you can. Same thing here.
Everybody else resists the temptation to be an idiot and
decide they want to reenact the karate Kid on a
water cour Keldick decided to do this, broke his foot.
You're in the middle of a wild card chase. You
got to use your head, man, you battled. There's such
(21:29):
worse adversity than this. When the Mets said, beat it right,
you are the one of their top guys. You are
the chosen one, and they said cn hell Mike.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Yeah, they were doomed the second Jason Tuck.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Then well, that's sure. And you made a lot of
great cojin points right there. That was really good. All
I was thinking of was bugs, Bunny. I must eradicate you?
Would you eradicate the Marvin the marsh Let's say I
told you Jared Kalnick, very tearful press here he is
talking to reporters today after his injury, is going to
keep out for a while. I let thee and tell
(22:02):
us a little bit about it. I just think that's
about it. I let them down.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
So we just and uh, it's take full responsibility for it.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
By being sure it's on me. It's just camp, all right,
I take full responsibility. Is it anybody else's fault? Is
it anybody else's for yours. It's nobody else's fault. Someone
they threw the they threw the water cooler rat and
they had to deflect it with my leg and I
wound up getting hurt. But really, how do you not
(22:32):
have that? Have those gone? I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
No again, I think you could put to the full dispenser,
making sure you know, you got the sponsor logo and
everything fully emblazoned. But you know what, we we've changed
fundamentally the game all over the place. I don't want
everything to go away. If a guy's going to be
an idiot, you know what, that's part of the profile
(22:55):
you put together. You know what, acts rationally might have
an issue with the water cooler or.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Other inanimate object at another time. Did they draw a
face on the water cooler and the water cooler was
staring at it? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I don't get it, but it's just the the water
cooler is at least a throwback, right. We're changing all
these rules, We're changing all these things. Man, I want
some normalcy and a water cooler. Who was this good
for business?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Who was the Dodger's picture that that clean house with
the water cooler in the early two thousands with a
bat just three or four water coolers. It was Oliver Perez?
Was that who it was? No? Yeah, okay, all right,
yeah the video and I can see it of him
just just knocking the ball all over the place. At
(23:42):
least look a bat. At least it was Carlos Perez.
Carlos Perez. Yeah, fourteen, there you go, man, But I
mean it's only twenty fourteen. Really, I mean, you get highlight.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I mean it was our first year doing the show together.
You get highlights. I mean forever. I mean, and no
matter what happens with the rest of kell Nick's career.
I mean, this is gonna be on the metal stand moment.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, crying.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I'm sorry, I let my team down with the injury.
What'd you do if the water?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Let me google most bizarre baseball injuries ever. Oh no,
we got Jaron Kealvian. Yeah, we got garden shears. We
got Jeff Kent right motorcycle and he got hurt. Sure
where he was, uh, you know, cleaning his truck. Remember
who was it? He was cleaning his truck and he

I'll tell you when I was your age as to

So so let's dance. Shut that off. I'm in my
own caddy shack world right now. It's good. I was
watching back to school again today. The Jason Smith Show
is my best friend. Mike Harmon, Hobo. I got one friend, Derrick,
(25:22):
He's got no friends. Nigeria and Canada with sandwiches on
the line, my Nigerian national team. I'm getting a half goal.
You are zero zero against Canada. Right now, Canada just
missed the penalty. We are getting into the fifty ninth
minute of this game. It's a real bunko f penalty.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
By the way, good work by the Nigerian goalie, da
cleaned up the mess made by the defender.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Another defender made a similar mess moments.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Yeah, no, just outside the penalty area, but once again
only with a header and gets it back out. And
now we're here in the fifty ninth minute, still nil nil.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
And I will say this, I asked you last hour,
what total will be higher tonight, Canada, Nigeria or runs
by the Oakland A's. Yeah, the A's are batting in
the ninth inning. They have one run still two one right,
three three one. Now there are no goals in this game,
but the A's may finish with one. Look out look out.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Should have had a penalty, uh, should have had a
file just outside the box. Here a little clutch and
grab action by the Canadian defender that was let go.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So we'll keep you update on my Nigerian national team.
That's right, you're on board. But James Harden says it's
time to get uncomfortable Harden, who wants a trade from
the seventy six ers. He wants to go to the Clippers. Yeah, Sixers.
Daryl Morey said, we could keep him all season. Sure,
if he's on our team. When we get to training camp,
(26:58):
we expect him to be with us. And now, James
Harden puts this message on Instagram earlier today. Been comfortable
for so long, And I'm reading it very very dramatically,
like like I shoul to read this because it's big.
It's big black screen and very tiny white and very
tiny white font in the middle. The fought it's uncomfortable
(27:19):
because you're straining your eyes. It is, Yes, yes, it is.
Been been comfortable for so long, It's time to get uncomfortable.
That sounds like it could be a tagline for a movie.
That could be a tagline of a movie. Been comfortable
for so long, Time to get uncomfortable? The new movie Uncomfortable,
starring Matt Damon, Who's going to tell you about investing
(27:41):
in crypto and why it's a great idea. Uh, been
comfortable for so long, It's time to get uncomfortable. I'm
taking this now. I'm just gonna go out on the
limb hear. Uh, this doesn't mean I'm going to stay
with the Sixers. This doesn't mean I'm gonna stay. It's
time for to get uncomfortable. Uh No, this means I
want to up. He is someone who is never going
(28:02):
to mince words and he's not gonna go back to this.
All we've seen from the Sixers last couple of days
has been, Hey, if we can't trade James, he's gonna
be back with us. We welcome him back. This is
hard and saying not happening. This is not going to happen,
and I will find some way to get out. And
if uncomfortable means I gotta get someplace where I really
don't want to be or it's not my first destination,
(28:25):
I'm okay with it. I'm okay with getting out. He's
not gonna stay with Philadelphia. Philip's gonna make Philadelphia trade him.
And what's going to happen is they're not gonna get
anything back for him. They're not gonna get anything close
to a hall that's gonna make Joel Embiid say we're
gonna win a championship and the other domino will fall
this offseason. And that's Joel Embiid saying, I want out.
(28:47):
We can't win here. You did not make our team better.
I just won the MVP. I'm gonna be twenty nine
years old. I've been here for nine years. It's not happening.
I want out because we haven't hit the silly season yet.
In the NBA, we've had free agency and it's been
a different year this year because everybody's signed and everybody's cool,
but there are still players on teams that aren't going
to be there, that signed for big money. And now
(29:10):
you are seeing teams talk about big deals going on,
and Beae's name is coming up. The Nicks of the
favor to get him. You're gonna, I guarantee you're gonna
see Kuzma. We got to figure out Damian Lillard. Trade
season for the NBA is coming and that's gonna be
the fallout. Harden's gonna force his way someplace else. The
Sixers aren't gonna get anything, and Joel Embiid is gonna
(29:30):
say I want out now. And Leon Rose are gonna
drive up to Philadelphia with Julius Randall and har J
Barrett in the car and they're gonna say, are there
going sight seeing today, Leon. Yeah, we're going sightseeing right
in there. Wait, it says welcome to Philadelphia. There's the
Rocky statue. Just go right there. Everything is fine, And
if you see embid, just send him back to the
car and then I'll see you guys in a little bit. Yeah.
(29:51):
I would say a couple of things with this, uh one.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
It it shows where you've got the the danger of
player options, of how they can screw you as a team.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Right.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
He becomes the poster child for the the worst way
things can happen. All right, I'm opting in and I
want to trade because nobody's giving me anywhere near thirty
six million dollars in the open marketplace.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
So you know what, you're now on the hook.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
So because we signed this deal and I have my
player option, you know, it's like the running backs Austin
Eckler and and go to Pacheco and down the line.
You got enough guys that are examples of where paying
the running back isn't necessarily the thing.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You have to do. Same thing here.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Player options are going to go away, and James Harden's
face is gonna be there make it uncomfortable. Yeah, you
go play for less money if you really just wanted
to get your preferred destination. Now it becomes a all right,
we'll deal with it, right when eventually you've got to
trade him and get rid of him, because otherwise it's
just a problem that's going to fester. But like this is,
(30:59):
there's there's no good end to this, and it all
started as soon as he.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
There's a great end of this. He's gonna want out,
The Sixers gonna have to trade him, they're gonna get nobody,
and then Bean goes to the next That's a great ending.
It's the best ending ever. Yeah, but that's the long
slow play. Yeah, don't will be that long. It'll be
what do we trade? What do we trade for? Harden? Hey,
Ben Simmons, No no, no, no, no, no no no no,
(31:24):
I'm gone get ready, get me out, Get me out, now,
get me out. You were gonna say, Ben Simmons, right, yeah, no, no, no,
no no no.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
It's like all the prospects that you keep trying to
trade for. Shohan Tani. Here's some magic beans good luck.

The way tire buying should be well. Thirtieth minute Women's
(00:49):
World Cup Nigeria Canada zero zero my Nigerian national team
that you gave me a half goal on yeh plus
a half yeah and corner kick sandwiches on the line.
Anxious moments whenever you get those set pieces into the game.
Very anxious, very I know very little about Nigeria except
I have them because I look, because I allowed you
(01:11):
to make the pick and you you pick Canada. I did.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I just figured the Canadians would overwhelm them with their
pleasant trees and their kindness, rowing them into a false
sense of security. Well every time they bump them off
the ball, saying sorry, we were here.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
The Nigerian head coach after the game, what was the
problem today, Well, I'll tell you they were just so nice.
I really, I mean, they really nice enough. You know that.
You know, well, look when they scored that goal because
our player tripped and then they helped her up, and
then you know, our defender was felt so so great
about that. She didn't guard the forward coming in with
the ball. After that was really very very I was
(01:50):
really surprised about that. They really, I mean, if they
weren't so nice, maybe we would have won.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Kept saying sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, running right through
then just say sorry.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I'm sorry, I'm very very polite. Everything they did so again,
Nigeria and Canada zero zero the United States place tomorrow night.
We're gonna get the game, can't a window. But before
we get to, hey, the story that's going to dominate
the NFL summer. Remember, you know, I hate to say
I told you sober Remember I told you the Orioles
were gonna win the Al East. Now they have a
(02:22):
three game in the lost column lead over the Rays
after winning tonight for three in ten innings. I told
you about the Orioles. I told you Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I told you, Yeah, we get we get the big
series this weekend. You did see the that they're having
a bat day. Is it a Billy Ripkin bat day
where it says blank you on the bottom of the knob? No,
it was a uh that's pretty good, like the Philippines Batman.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
There's a callback to the nineties for you right there.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Nineteen eighty nine Baby legendary movie. No, they're they're doing
a promotion. I'm not sure what day it is, but
I saw it creeping through the timelines of where they
they're gonna hand this stuff out as you leave the stadium,
which means as of the sixth inning you can go
get your your commemorative bet, which means folks are gonna
(03:11):
leave early because they don't want to leave without them.
You don't get it until you leave.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, it's very difficult. I want to stay. I want
the bat but what do I do? It's very hard to.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
What's it looking like in the sixth am, I seeing
a stream of people. Yeah, whatever, I mean, at least
I guess until beer sales end.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Well, aren't they the same thing? Isn't bat night and
also ten cent beer night? Isn't it the same doing
the same promotion. Here's your beer and your bat. Good luck,
have a good night. We'll see in this line again
in about five minutes. Crazy, here's your beer, here's your bet. Yeah,
let's see, it's every bat giveaway. I get a bat too.
(03:50):
So it's so it's actually tomorrow right. As part of
this series the Battle for first Place. So game starts
six forty uh huh.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Your ticket includes the opper tunity, the opportunity to receive
the Wander Franco bat giveaway, and it's like it's given
out upon exit and exiting giant letters from the game.
Starting in the sixth inning, fans can pick up the
bat at any exit gate. For fans looking to pick
up the bat before the sixth inning, gates two and
three will be open for pickup and exit only. It's
(04:21):
you take the bat, you leave much about a time.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
His bat's not very big.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Each fan can receive one bat at a time, fans
cannot receive multiple giveaways at one time for others in
their party, even with multiple tickets, so then no bats
are permitted inside.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
It's only the giveaway where you can buy like a
whole boatload of tickets and walk out with all the bobbleheads.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Well, you had to walk in walk out, but you
have to go back and get them, like you have
to leave the facility and then you can come back through.
Is how they usually handle promosia when there's that kind
of demand. In this case, it's a bat and they
don't want possibly inebriated people run around.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
With I'm going out on a limb here. I'm gonna
give you a hot take. I don't think giving bats
out of the game is a good You know why
they did that.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
When we're with the White Sox many many years ago,
I had a nice Eric Sodder home team issued one.
Many a whiffle game played outside with that bat.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
They used to do it here at Dodger Stadium target.
It was a target giveaway for the big bats. Yeah
yet end well.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
No, I can't see would be fine. Yeah, they used
to do the mini bats, but.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, you started wrapping a guy upside the head yelling team.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Why does he keep yelling team?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I don't even know if they still do it. You
used to get a voucher after it was canceled.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, no, no, I don't. I don't think that you
can get I don't think you can get any What.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Do you think the insurances on that date? Is it
a higher premium that day than other days?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Sounds like four people at the trap, so maybe not
so much. This is where the owner of the team goes.
I'm just gonna sweat it out for the next eight hours.
I want you to follow the police scatter. Tell me
if you hear anything anything at all on our premises.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Is it one that that extends, like, say, someone commits
an act of violence long after the game is done
with the commembative bat they received from you at a game.
Are you still liable for having handed out said bat?
What would Sweet James or any of the many billboard
renting attorneys in Los Angeles?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You know, you call Sweet James, they just answer regularly.
They don't say sweep James that. Yeah. Yeah, we called
once just to see how he would answer the phone.
How they just got with you just called her and
they and I wanted to say.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
There are just some corridors on the highways of LA
for the national audience that she just and I think
in most towns it's the same thing. In Chicago, it's
the all right, we're now in the Urlocker hair Head district.
But here it's all different attorneys trying to get your
business injured in an accident.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Remember, let's not get too far away from the big
point here, Paul Jacob, I told you the Orioles we're
going to win the Al East, and here they are
told you. I told you, I told you a month
and a half ago they were going to win the
Al East. Doesn't matter. Look how good the Rays are.
Orioles are right there. They are. They are years beyond
the young team they are. They did win games very workmanlike.
There's no high of emotion and we go on streaks.
(07:14):
They are just they are just consistent. Man. Watch out
the Orioles. The era of the Orioles is back. The

of the summer. Look o tany Watch twenty twenty three.
Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow.
It's gonna take us through the next couple of weeks,
but taking us through the rest of the summer. The
New York Jets open training camp Aaron Rodgers practice today.
The cameras were there. It was glorious and before I
(08:00):
get to the sky is falling apart for the Jets. Now, yeah,
let's hear this is a big day. Look, I mean
the whole everybody in the NFL was was a very
cognizant of the fact that hard knock starts today. The
Jets reported a training camp and had their first practice.
Jerry Jones was asked about the Jets practicing for the
first time today what he thought about it. This is
(08:21):
what he said. Loans changes gets hit, the bulls lose,
Jets alive. That's nice. That's the one we know right there.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Not to put Rogers into that clip.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
No, this was this was Jerry Jones being asked about
the Jets and starting training camp and how exciting it was.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I think the right day for the NFL.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Excited.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I think day I'm excited about.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Here it is. That's a hallmark day for the NFL. Here,
it is hallmark day. I think I think you got
that in the wrong place. He was asked to know
he was asked about the Jets. They said, what do
you think about the Jets? Jets? Jets, Jets, And that's
what he said, hallmark big day.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
He said, he doesn't know who the Jets are.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Who is it? We haven't played that team in a
long time. So are there in the other conference? Yeah?
I don't know who they are. I don't know. He's funny,
is that the minor league team for the Giants? Like
when they bring somebody up, when the guy gets hurt
and they bring him up from the Jets, he comes
playing for the Giants. Out why the Giants so tough
last few years? How about that? I didn't know that.
Should have had that, should have had a could have
had a minor league football team. I could have called
(09:25):
it the Eagles. N I get to see what I did.
I could ahead that all right, everybody be here all week.
Try the corn beef all right?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
And I thought you were gonna make the joke that
he should have owned the Houston Texans while he was
at it. The one thing that comes off of all
of this, I mean Aaron Rodgers, and I know the
jokes and the parallels were there for Tom Brady of
he looked like he needs a sandwich. He leaned out.
He's ripped and jet when you get over carrying the extra, Yeah,
(09:55):
he's trying that baggage.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Carrot's green Bay. I want out anyway, whatever the hell
I want now, he's leaning. Look when you go in
in Ayahuascar, Richard, I think if you're if you're drinking
at tea and you're going into darkness retreats, you're not
eating your mind in it.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I don't think you're eating that much. Maybe not no,
but look here grubs that come through. I don't know.
I mean today today was like Christmas for me. Everything
was Look at Aaron Rodgers hand the ball off. Look
at him talk to Garrett Wilson after a busted route.
His impact on the team already is immense, and everybody
is at camp and at practicing. They're going crazy. They're
(10:32):
talking super Bowl. I mean, today is so great. Today
was so great. I'm looking on things. Look at Aaron Rodgers.
Look at that handoff with no pads on. He heads
it off to Michael Carter. Michael Carter was gonna get outside.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
It was so great.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
But knowing that this is when it will all fall
apart as good. This is when it could all fall apart. Right,
this is right now, This is when it could all
fall apart because the Jets, because we don't have this
kind of success doesn't happen. We don't have it. It doesn't happen.
It does. This is that, Hey, we had the off season.
Rogers is there, he's a jet, but he's not really
a jet. Now we're at practice. Okay, this is when
(11:07):
it all falls apart. This is when the rug gets
pulled out because it's like that person that's that that
gets a really uh great stroke of luck, whether in
business or personally, and they go, you know, I don't
know how I got. I'm not worthy of this. This
is I feel I'm.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Not worthy, say zero point one percent, I earned every
damn thing, idea I'm I'm.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I'm not worthy of this I don't. I don't. I
don't deserve this. That that's kind of how I feel like.
This doesn't happen for this doesn't happen for the Jets.
It doesn't. Well, it's great for today. I mean, yeah, looking,
he's actually he's taking snaps, he's handing it off. It's
not it's not something that, oh hey, something happened contract
wise and I'm gonna actually go play for the Dolphins. No, no,
it's all happening. But I mean it now is when
(11:47):
I go, Okay, if it falls apart, this is when
it falls apart. No, but it's good, right right, No,
that's that's but I mean you got to be a realist. Yeah,
that's that's me. Because here's the thing. If you're expecting disaster,
anything's an improvement. Jets fatalist party of one. That's me,
Jason Smith. You're not alone. There are many you. I
got the the buzzer right here that you gave me
for bad things with the Jets right here. Okay, what
(12:09):
is it? What don't have to worry?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Like the Jacks and the Green they are plural. The
the fact is that you've got a lot of weapons
on that squad, that people are pretty excitable about There's
no question a lot of interest want to see what
Roger's gonna say. And if he goes and takes the
tact that many believe with the he's unhappy about it,
(12:31):
well it gets that much more entertaining because now he's
gonna have the acid tongue. He's going to be a
man a few words. You know, we talked about it,
the change of hard knocks because they don't want to
show people getting cut. I think that the best uh
and I don't know who to attribute it to, but
I best the best solution was to do either a
TV funhouse kind of like animated version of it, or
(12:53):
or if they weren't striking, they had a couple of
Jets fan actors do their impression of how the conversation
would go.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Sure, I think that works, but yeah, again, you're breaking
a lot of sag after laws. No, you can't do
it now. I mean when Dylan's is standing next to
Dermott mulroney at you know exception right, you know that's serious,
right with Dylan mc dermott, dermottmulrody your next week.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I sent that to you just for that that fact.
The world is ending. That's that's that. Do you know
how serious this whole thing is?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Right now? Have they ever been seen in the same
room before then?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I don't think so. I mean you had you had
Mandy Patinkin holding a sign that says you you killed
my royalties for Yeah. But this, I mean, this is
so great. But this is when it falls apart. This
is all I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Look, it's you've had nice I've had my run day,
you had your nice things, like the Jets have been
standing there for photo day and you had.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
That first workout. The Jets have been the champions of
the last six months of the NFL. Granted there were
no games and it was getting Aaron Rodgers. We've been
the champion of the last six months. So now is
when we had that. Now is when you know, hey,
the championship fall apart and you have to rebuild. We
have to rebuild now exactly. He just every day, every
day and for the rest of July and August, I'm
(14:08):
gonna wake up. How to practice go today? How to
practice go today?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
You're really gonna be scared because Frostburg and I send
you a lot of text about stories and randomnes today
during the day, like you're gonna you're gonna be avoiding
your phone altogether.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Oh no, no, no, I can always tell when you
guys send me something that is that that is bad.
I can always tell. And you're not the only ones.
You're not. It's like people wait to go, oh, something
bad happened one of Jason seems. I can't wait to
text them now. It's it's it's science, that's how it goes.
I can't wait to tell them, Hey, look what happened
to you? Man? That great thing? No, I usually want
to do that in person. I mean, we want to watch.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
The color leave your face.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
When it all falls apart, Man, it all falls apart.
Zach Wilson out performing Aaron Rodgers. All these things are
gonna all all to stop telling you, man, isn't when
it all falls apart? The Jets can't have nice things.
What is it going to be? What's it going to be?
It's not really Aaron Aaron Rodgers impersonator. Rogers actually retired
a year ago and is like living in Antarctica somewhere
(15:07):
to science station, and he just found out that the
alien is in a dog and he's chasing across. Sorry,
went I went whole thing on you right there, maybe
and you can find that out. I really you went

Speaker 3 (16:32):
It was It is like talking about tennis the other

Forty love, forty love, forty forty nothing, forty forty fifteen,
forty twenty. Oh, it's a blow out, it's fifty nothing. Oh,
it's it's halftime a Jets game. What does that mean?
Forty fifteen? All right? Got it? All right?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
And then you say point and break and it's like,
all right, let's go. Let's talk about the classic we
had Swayzey and Kah we.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Haven't been and Anthony Keatis don't forget right? And is
it Whitley from Ugly Kid? Joe in it too good?
Isn't he in it? I don't? And I hate everything
about you. How about a bizarre story from Major League
Baseball and then a more bizarre one from the NBA? Okay, good,
I was like, bizarre, the stories of the bizarre. You've
(17:16):
probably heard the name. We've talked about him on the
show a little bit here, Jared Kellnick for the last
few years, he went over in the Robinson Cano trade
from the Mets to the Mariners. The Mariners who maybe
it's my fault that they're slumping because I picked them
to go to the World Series. I could be it
could be all my fault. It probably does have something,
you know. I haven't. I haven't. I haven't been on
(17:37):
there with Softy since I He's like, he's like, do
you want to come on like once a month, once
a month talk? I said, yeah, sure, and then I said,
the marin is gonna go to the World Series. Ever
since then, Nope, haven't been on at all. Nope, haven't
on kJ R at all. Haven't gotten a phone call
at all till you might.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Have done a listener poll to decide that you were banned.
Whose fault is it, Jason Smith, It's all in the
culture of your head. Picked us for the World Series,
and one think so Kelmick, who finally after one of
the top prospects in baseball for the last few years.
I don't want to say he broke through this year
because his war is zero, but he's actually playing a
(18:14):
lot better than he ever has been.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Before. Right, he's on his way to a below average season,
not an awful season, but he's on his way to
below average season. Now that has gotten derailed because he's
on the injured list now because last night he got
very mad during a game and kicked the water cooler,
broke a bone in his foot. He is now out.
No one knows how long. He gave a very teary
(18:38):
interview today with the media. Say sorry, dude, don't be
an idiot. Don't kick a bleeping water cooler. Man, Come on,
come on, But I want to say this because this
is what I really can't understand. Right. What when's the
last time you heard her story about a water cooler
that ended well for someone?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Definitely not no, no, Only if you're trying to win
bets for sam or or share a cup of coffee.
Water coolers don't end well. How do Major League teams
still use water coolers? Why don't they use something else? Well,
you don't want a bunch of disposable bottle, But how
about how about a water cooler? Is that when you
kick it it doesn't cause you to break something? It
should be built in. Why do we have built into
(19:19):
the wall? Got a thick plexic glass, or you put
it in, you put it in a holder, but it
stays against the wall and that's where it goes. Looks
like it's a beer dispenser. Pull the handle. I mean,
we need some kind of advancement in the water cooler technology.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
You put a slam man in that they put a
forearm into instead of taking their frustrations out on the
water cooler.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Or hey, you know, hey, you're upset, going the rage
room is right in here. You know what, Here, here's.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
The wander Franco bat rage room. Here's the pitcher that
just vexed you again. I mean, look, you're you're an
idiot for kicking the water cooler.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I mean, I mean the fact that he's crying and
they going, I'm so sorry, Yeah you should be. I mean,
but how do teams not understand that, okay, that that
players get upset and we don't want them to smack
a water cooler and go how do you not have
something else or have them in a spot where they
can't pull them off the wall? I understand, I understand
how major league teams don't do that. It's it's like
(20:14):
you're asking for it. You're asking for it to say, well,
here's a water cooler route, and if someone strikes out
coming off, what's gonna happen when they kick it or
pick it up or want to throw it and they
want to hit it with their hand. How about you
to get rid of those? How about you get rid
of those?
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah, I would say this. You're also expecting your Major
League ballplayers to be able to handle adversity, perhaps a
little bit better.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Again, I ask you the question I asked three minutes ago.
When has there been a story involving a water cooler
that's gone well for either the player or the water cooler? No?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
No, And I get that, But it's also a small
percentage of dopes who are doing this, Like when we
whenever people get worried about this shield, that shield, any
any shields, Like forget about the ninety eight percent of
your guys that aren't getting in trouble, that are raising families,
that are active in their communities.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Et cetera. Just because it's a couple of guys.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
And look, you want to eradicate that and take that
as close to zero as you can. Same thing here.
Everybody else resists the temptation to be an idiot and
decide they want to reenact the karate Kid on a
water cour Keldick decided to do this, broke his foot.
You're in the middle of a wild card chase. You
got to use your head, man, you battled. There's such
(21:29):
worse adversity than this. When the Mets said, beat it right,
you are the one of their top guys. You are
the chosen one, and they said cn hell Mike.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Yeah, they were doomed the second Jason Tuck.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Then well, that's sure. And you made a lot of
great cojin points right there. That was really good. All
I was thinking of was bugs, Bunny. I must eradicate you?
Would you eradicate the Marvin the marsh Let's say I
told you Jared Kalnick, very tearful press here he is
talking to reporters today after his injury, is going to
keep out for a while. I let thee and tell
(22:02):
us a little bit about it. I just think that's
about it. I let them down.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
So we just and uh, it's take full responsibility for it.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
By being sure it's on me. It's just camp, all right,
I take full responsibility. Is it anybody else's fault? Is
it anybody else's for yours. It's nobody else's fault. Someone
they threw the they threw the water cooler rat and
they had to deflect it with my leg and I
wound up getting hurt. But really, how do you not
(22:32):
have that? Have those gone? I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
No again, I think you could put to the full dispenser,
making sure you know, you got the sponsor logo and
everything fully emblazoned. But you know what, we we've changed
fundamentally the game all over the place. I don't want
everything to go away. If a guy's going to be
an idiot, you know what, that's part of the profile
(22:55):
you put together. You know what, acts rationally might have
an issue with the water cooler or.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Other inanimate object at another time. Did they draw a
face on the water cooler and the water cooler was
staring at it? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I don't get it, but it's just the the water
cooler is at least a throwback, right. We're changing all
these rules, We're changing all these things. Man, I want
some normalcy and a water cooler. Who was this good
for business?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Who was the Dodger's picture that that clean house with
the water cooler in the early two thousands with a
bat just three or four water coolers. It was Oliver Perez?
Was that who it was? No? Yeah, okay, all right,
yeah the video and I can see it of him
just just knocking the ball all over the place. At
(23:42):
least look a bat. At least it was Carlos Perez.
Carlos Perez. Yeah, fourteen, there you go, man, But I
mean it's only twenty fourteen. Really, I mean, you get highlight.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I mean it was our first year doing the show together.
You get highlights. I mean forever. I mean, and no
matter what happens with the rest of kell Nick's career.
I mean, this is gonna be on the metal stand moment.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, crying.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I'm sorry, I let my team down with the injury.
What'd you do if the water?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Let me google most bizarre baseball injuries ever. Oh no,
we got Jaron Kealvian. Yeah, we got garden shears. We
got Jeff Kent right motorcycle and he got hurt. Sure
where he was, uh, you know, cleaning his truck. Remember
who was it? He was cleaning his truck and he
slipped who was like dropped a like like went out
hunting and dropped a Pilo. No, that was Clint Barmas.
(24:31):
Clint Barmas, Yeah, the dear meet, Yeah, Legendar. Congratulations Jaredkelnick.
That's where you are.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
I'll tell you when I was your age as to
carry fifty sixty pounds alice up five six flights of stairs.
So so let's dance. Shut that off. I'm in my
own caddy shack world right now. It's good. I was
watching back to school again today. The Jason Smith Show
is my best friend. Mike Harmon, Hobo. I got one friend, Derrick,
(25:22):
He's got no friends. Nigeria and Canada with sandwiches on
the line, my Nigerian national team. I'm getting a half goal.
You are zero zero against Canada. Right now, Canada just
missed the penalty. We are getting into the fifty ninth
minute of this game. It's a real bunko f penalty.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
By the way, good work by the Nigerian goalie, da
cleaned up the mess made by the defender.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Another defender made a similar mess moments.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Yeah, no, just outside the penalty area, but once again
only with a header and gets it back out. And
now we're here in the fifty ninth minute, still nil nil.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
And I will say this, I asked you last hour,
what total will be higher tonight, Canada, Nigeria or runs
by the Oakland A's. Yeah, the A's are batting in
the ninth inning. They have one run still two one right,
three three one. Now there are no goals in this game,
but the A's may finish with one. Look out look out.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Should have had a penalty, uh, should have had a
file just outside the box. Here a little clutch and
grab action by the Canadian defender that was let go.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So we'll keep you update on my Nigerian national team.
That's right, you're on board. But James Harden says it's
time to get uncomfortable Harden, who wants a trade from
the seventy six ers. He wants to go to the Clippers. Yeah, Sixers.
Daryl Morey said, we could keep him all season. Sure,
if he's on our team. When we get to training camp,
(26:58):
we expect him to be with us. And now, James
Harden puts this message on Instagram earlier today. Been comfortable
for so long, And I'm reading it very very dramatically,
like like I shoul to read this because it's big.
It's big black screen and very tiny white and very
tiny white font in the middle. The fought it's uncomfortable
(27:19):
because you're straining your eyes. It is, Yes, yes, it is.
Been been comfortable for so long, It's time to get uncomfortable.
That sounds like it could be a tagline for a movie.
That could be a tagline of a movie. Been comfortable
for so long, Time to get uncomfortable? The new movie Uncomfortable,
starring Matt Damon, Who's going to tell you about investing
(27:41):
in crypto and why it's a great idea. Uh, been
comfortable for so long, It's time to get uncomfortable. I'm
taking this now. I'm just gonna go out on the
limb hear. Uh, this doesn't mean I'm going to stay
with the Sixers. This doesn't mean I'm gonna stay. It's
time for to get uncomfortable. Uh No, this means I
want to up. He is someone who is never going
(28:02):
to mince words and he's not gonna go back to this.
All we've seen from the Sixers last couple of days
has been, Hey, if we can't trade James, he's gonna
be back with us. We welcome him back. This is
hard and saying not happening. This is not going to happen,
and I will find some way to get out. And
if uncomfortable means I gotta get someplace where I really
don't want to be or it's not my first destination,
(28:25):
I'm okay with it. I'm okay with getting out. He's
not gonna stay with Philadelphia. Philip's gonna make Philadelphia trade him.
And what's going to happen is they're not gonna get
anything back for him. They're not gonna get anything close
to a hall that's gonna make Joel Embiid say we're
gonna win a championship and the other domino will fall
this offseason. And that's Joel Embiid saying, I want out.
(28:47):
We can't win here. You did not make our team better.
I just won the MVP. I'm gonna be twenty nine
years old. I've been here for nine years. It's not happening.
I want out because we haven't hit the silly season yet.
In the NBA, we've had free agency and it's been
a different year this year because everybody's signed and everybody's cool,
but there are still players on teams that aren't going
to be there, that signed for big money. And now
(29:10):
you are seeing teams talk about big deals going on,
and Beae's name is coming up. The Nicks of the
favor to get him. You're gonna, I guarantee you're gonna
see Kuzma. We got to figure out Damian Lillard. Trade
season for the NBA is coming and that's gonna be
the fallout. Harden's gonna force his way someplace else. The
Sixers aren't gonna get anything, and Joel Embiid is gonna
(29:30):
say I want out now. And Leon Rose are gonna
drive up to Philadelphia with Julius Randall and har J
Barrett in the car and they're gonna say, are there
going sight seeing today, Leon. Yeah, we're going sightseeing right
in there. Wait, it says welcome to Philadelphia. There's the
Rocky statue. Just go right there. Everything is fine, And
if you see embid, just send him back to the
car and then I'll see you guys in a little bit. Yeah.
(29:51):
I would say a couple of things with this, uh one.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
It it shows where you've got the the danger of
player options, of how they can screw you as a team.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Right.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
He becomes the poster child for the the worst way
things can happen. All right, I'm opting in and I
want to trade because nobody's giving me anywhere near thirty
six million dollars in the open marketplace.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
So you know what, you're now on the hook.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
So because we signed this deal and I have my
player option, you know, it's like the running backs Austin
Eckler and and go to Pacheco and down the line.
You got enough guys that are examples of where paying
the running back isn't necessarily the thing.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You have to do. Same thing here.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Player options are going to go away, and James Harden's
face is gonna be there make it uncomfortable. Yeah, you
go play for less money if you really just wanted
to get your preferred destination. Now it becomes a all right,
we'll deal with it, right when eventually you've got to
trade him and get rid of him, because otherwise it's
just a problem that's going to fester. But like this is,
(30:59):
there's there's no good end to this, and it all
started as soon as he.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
There's a great end of this. He's gonna want out,
The Sixers gonna have to trade him, they're gonna get nobody,
and then Bean goes to the next That's a great ending.
It's the best ending ever. Yeah, but that's the long
slow play. Yeah, don't will be that long. It'll be
what do we trade? What do we trade for? Harden? Hey,
Ben Simmons, No no, no, no, no, no no no no,
(31:24):
I'm gone get ready, get me out, Get me out, now,
get me out. You were gonna say, Ben Simmons, right, yeah, no, no, no,
no no no.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
It's like all the prospects that you keep trying to
trade for. Shohan Tani. Here's some magic beans good luck.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
