(00:49):
can have a conversation about Barbie and people not know
because I think everybody has seen the movie this weekend.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
There's a lot of people that's on it right. I mean,
we're tracking how much they spent in marketing. First time
I've seen that in a while. You know, normally it's hey,
this is what the production is. But I was like, no, no, no, no,
they spent a lot to market it, so when they
had those box office receipts, don't get too excited.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
See, but here's the thing. Yeah, let me give you
about it. You can no spoilers. No, I'm at Barbie. Hey,
the whole world is seen. It doesn't matter. Barbie's made
like one hundred and eighty million. It's like making like
top Gun Maverick money. That's a spoiler. I think it was.
But let me say this. Yeah, there's been so much.
I've seen it already. You've seen it. I'm wearing paint
shorts today. I mean it was the first half of
(01:31):
the movie, no spoilers. The first half of the movie
was pretty good. I'm like, oh, this is pretty good.
You know, it's high concept. You have to go with it,
you have, but it's pretty good and the cast is big.
And then the second half of the movie it's insanely good.
And now I get, Oh, now I get why everybody
has said, like, why is it such a bed? And
I'm like, oh my god, now I get. I'm you know,
I'm falling over my seat laughing so hard in the
(01:52):
second half of the movie. So you can sit here
and tell me, hey, what a great PR campaign it had.
I've seen other there's a great PR campaign for for
LeVar ball shoes. Right, there's a great PR campaign for
snow Your Nothing is better And this is tried and true.
Nothing is ever better than word of mouth. Because everybody
that went to go to see this movie on Thursday
(02:14):
or Friday told their friends, oh my god, it was
so good. Except Ben Shapiro. Right, well, that's true. There's
gotta be.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
He did a forty three minute against it.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I got.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
It's like, how do I cut through? It's like halfway
half half the running time of the movie. How do
I cut through? I'll be the guy that didn't like Barbie.
I mean, come on, but nothing is better than word
But because we went when we went last night, the
and we went to a big multiplex that has a
big XD and and and the d box seats and everything.
And we get there and they're like, oh, yeah, we
(02:44):
have no nachos, we have no we have that. They
they didn't know they were gonna do that kind of
business on Sunday nights. I didn't have it covered. I'm like,
there's no ice in the in the soda, Maisie, there's
no we had that we had that problem. There's no ice.
Come on, man, there's gotta be ice. So it was
kind of fun to see that, Hey, this is kind
of cool because it's it's it's the movies coming back,
maybe hopefully, but the same time, like, come on, you
(03:06):
gotta have this. It's like the Hell's Kitchen stress tests.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
You didn't work, you aren't ready, shut it down, shut
it down.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So but it was cool.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Groups of people all coordinating what they're wearing. It's like
you're going to the Taylor Swift Show here in l
A two weeks early. This was like the tune up
for Barbie's release, where don't.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Be wearing Harmon? Did I think they get two weeks
from now? Okay, pink taper? He wore, we're working towards this.
He said, preparation for you. I'd say preparation eight us.
No he did. Yeah, Harmon said that you said that
you did what? All right?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
No, that there were no tapers involved that I was
aware of as far as you know.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
But it was just cool.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
So we saw it once in the theater and then
we went to a drive in, so it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Stranded it to drive it branded a.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Food so you had people pumping music before the he started,
and then everybody, uh syncd up in a way we
went and.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Oh, by the way, how about this? I mean really,
and I wanted to I had absolutely no knowledge of this. No, no, no,
this is this is the most mildest of spoilers. No knowledge.
How about Thursday night, we were having that random conversation
about Push right by Matchbox twenty. I was like, what
this is such generic songs in the nineteen nineties, Like,
there's no more generic band in the nineties, and Matchbox
(04:26):
twenty and Tyshirt played Push. I'm like, okay, And all
of a sudden, I'm like, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, no, well I think he's either in the movie
as an extra he'd already seen an advanced copy of it.
But yes, a lot of laughs, well, highly entertaining.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Ryan Goslin sings a lot better than he did in
La La Land. That's you learn along the way.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I mean he looks like a WWE star for a
while with his get ups.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
City of Stars. Yeah, no, it was I was fun.
Ken's song is about as good as it gets. Yes,
and Shank she is in it, and and and and
what's his name? Uh? From The Bad guy see an
invasion is in it, and it's like, Wow, all these
Marvel people that are that's pretty cool, next level stuff. Yeah, going,
I couldn't. Hey, graphic is Graphic going to destroy everybody?
(05:09):
Now I'm waiting he's gonna Why don't you guys just
give out the ending while we're out he destroy body?
Uh give out? She's made plastic Darth Vader's Luke's dead.
There you go. I just ruined it for you. It's wow.
All he did was tell you a couple of actors
that way is in it. That's on the IMDb. There's
no Spanish, there's there's there's like Oscar winners who have
like the tiniest bit part it's giving away the movie.
(05:30):
I'm like, oh my good, really, I go wait, that
was the director of that movie that was nominated in
twenty twenty that all those things sh had the time.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
But it comes down to this, right, It's it's the
age old. If you want to be mad about something,
you can be mad about something. Yeah, right, you can
go find.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Your way to your blog or blog or whatever you're
gonna do.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You've got a TV show. I mean, we we see
hot take nonsense about the Sporting universe every day. So
I mean we're we're part of that world kind of
like we're no, I'm bringing the Little Mermaid in. But
the reality is, if you just sat back and decided
to immerse yourself and enjoy what was going up. Yeah,
there's some deep thoughts, this little Jack handy ism kind
(06:10):
of to it. You want to do that, But if
you just want to see it as surface level, there's
a lot of pink, and there's Ryan Gosling as ken Hey.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And in the end, look what do I always say,
In the end, movies have to change. They have to
raise their game. Now, Hollywood's got to come to us
because the whole default of us just going to the
movies doesn't happen anymore where if you would have it, Well,
I've seen the top four movies that around. I'll go
see that fifth one. No, we don't do that anymore, right,
we don't do that. I mean that is you got
(06:38):
to entertain me, and you got to make sure that
I'm having fun. And there's no surprise that Barbie just
smoked Oppenheimer because it's like, boy, I could go see
a really fun, entertaining movie about Barbie that if so Hey,
how good was it?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Man, Barbie was fun? Hey how is Oppenheimer?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
It was good, it was heavy. It was a little longer,
like going to see Barbie. But i'my Barbie Barbie.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
But I'll tell you the receipts on Oppenheimer pretty surprising.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, I'm not saying it's not. But you see the
difference between the two movies. It's you entertain me with
a movie that's fun. That's what people want.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Your original give me a new story, don't give me
part thirty eight. I mean you saw the precipitous drop
off from Mission Impossible, people who felt like they needed
to be complete. It's like, oh, I gotta buy that book.
I'm out on the series, but I can't not. I
can't leave book seven unpurchased.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, we're nice in the lead here, guys, what's that?
How many naps Harmon? I think Harmon? Probably yet movies?
Three naps? Two movies? Three Napsbie?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Like, wait, get up for how many? How many naps?
How many naps in Oppenheimer? I haven't seen it yet. Oh, okay, alright,
because I'm thinking you're good for at least two.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I'm trying to get people to tell me and confirm
whether Sting Song Russians is in there or not. I'm
not going unless that's in.
Speaker 1 (07:53):

shame in the Barbie Weekend is that that, you know,
Barbenheimer took away from a story that you clearly should
be front and center, and that is that Tom Brady
is dating Arena Shake. I mean, that's that's a big deal. Now,

gonna take.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
That's really how it's good.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It gets It allows her to get closure all of
that stuff. Am I not? Am I upset? Am I not?
You can't be upset. You're gallivanting around the globe with
with your jujit to instructor and his pictures, all the temple,
all of that, and now this is a year later,
but you're the one that tapped out of it. You
were done with. Now I'm upset. You can't be upset.
Can't be upset? You can't. I mean, you canna have regret?
(10:11):
You can't. It's been a year, they've been divorced a year,
but you can still have regret. You know who doesn't.
It's it's man, it's wait you Danny, Chris Pine? Is
that what you said? You just said?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I did not?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
You just did say Chris Pie just said Chris Pine.
I didn't know he started singing agony.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
But there is a big thing to talk about this
right now, with this Tom Brady arena shaker is yeah,
uh is how would Chris Berman announce this story like yeah, yeah, yeah,
I know. We gotta kick it off, right, it's a
harty weekend. We're fun. Yeah, we're starting with I mean yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Tom Brady does look like a human ken Yeah, he
could be.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
He could have been again, he could have been. I
was kinda kind of waiting on him. Or maybe Garoppolo
did show up. Spoiler alert. There's like I had a
video of Brady caressing Arena Shake's cheek that is in
the papers. It's just him with his fist cock to
punch Garoppolo and Garoppolo putting his hands over his face. No, please, no, no,
(11:10):
I just passed the physical I'm just allowed to play again.
Please no, not the fan man, that's big news. Not
the face. No touching of the face, of course. So

Arena Shake? Okay, how would he do this? I here's it.

Big happenings in the NFL over the week, and as
we're here getting set with teams reporting, we're getting Jets
news every single day. Jets Jets, Jets, Jets, I told
you we used the Aaron Rodgers show all Tony. That's
(15:37):
all we need for the rest of the time. That
is true. It has gotten us to this point. Every
day is Aaron Rodgers and the Jets.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets, especially now that he looks like
the great Gazoo.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Hey look at that. Look at that great pass Aaron
Rodgers made. Look Aaron Rodgers got a got a big
chain from Sauce Gardener. Look that Jets unveiled throwback unis today. Ah, Jets.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Just look at Garrett Wilson running past Sauce Gardener exposing him.
He doesn't hold.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah right, you're talking about two best players in their
position in the NFL. Everything was boy, but the big
goings on this weekend, the zoom call between all the
star running backs trying to figure out, Hey, we're not
getting paid, what can we do with us now? To
break it all down on the hot line, longtime NFL
insider for Odyssey Washington Post and a man who I
(16:20):
told last week, dude, your Orioles are gonna win the
Al East. I've been telling you for a month They're
gonna win the Al East. They've been doing everything right
behind the Rays. Look at where they are now, basically
a four game leading the loss column. Jason Lockin fora
I told you it's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Well, you said there was no chance that the Orioles
wouldn't win the division, is how you phrased it. I look,
I picked the O's to go to the playoffs at
the All Star Break, I picked them to win the division.
I think it'll come down to the bidder end all
things with this team, and nothing's easy. They don't get
(16:59):
a lot to blowout wins, but man, do they fight
their backsides off. And then they did it again tonight
in Philadelphia on a night where really none of the
relievers that they could trust were available, and they still
found the way to win. Yeah. I'll be fascinating to
see what they do between now and Tuesday, because they're
as loaded as anybody. I mean, really, Michael oister GM
(17:22):
has so many different cards he could play, whether it's Otani,
whether it's trying to get Bellinger and Strohman or Snow
and Hater or just like a Mitch Keller from the
Pirates and David Robertson from the Mets, and then maybe
Duvall or somebody like that to fill maybe a short
(17:45):
term needed center field. But yeah, it's a great time
in Bergland. Man.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
See, well, I don't think you need to do any
of that. You just have to have a zoom call
when things will go your way, get all the best
players on it, and then they figure out what to
do from there.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Yeah. I don't know where that's going. I don't know that.
I mean it's great to like. Look, those guys are
in the cuss spot. They've been in a cuss spot
for a while. It's not going to change anytime soon.
This CBA has a lot of time left on it,
and you can't force teams to spend money in ways
they don't want to spend it. And they should commiserate
(18:19):
with one another, they should exchange ideas, you know. I'm
all about unity and solidarity, but short of them all
withholding their services, you know, and having like a class
action walk out, and even that, the way this CBA structured,
I don't know in the short term what it would accomplish.
(18:40):
It just is what it is, unfortunately, and teams are
going to prize different things at different times, right, And
there was a period of time in baseball when no
one was talking about Waltz and nobody was talking about
on base percentage, and everybody was caught up in you know,
RBIs and batting average, and that pendulum has swung and
(19:02):
guys get paid for different sort of skill sets, and
I think you find that in different sports, right, I
mean in the NBA. If you're just a big stiff center,
you know, who can only play in the paint and
there's all these other guys who can stretch it, who's
going to get you know what I mean, who's getting
the money? I don't know. I feel for them because
(19:22):
it is a tremendously I mean football, it soffice, I mean,
is obviously a brutal, brutal sport. Then they play arguably
the most brutal position, but that's held against them, and
that's going to continue to be held against them.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Well yeah, the hard part to it, right, they stage
a walk out, Guess what other guys get opportunities? I
find it interesting, Jason also that the guy that's the
organizer is Austin Eckler, who's the poster child for the
whole thing.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Well yeah, I mean, look, if you want to talk
about a guy who should fit the modern version of
a back, right, he does as well as anybody when
you look him being so multifaceted, and him being so
good out in space, and him having such short hands,
and him protecting the football and what he can do
(20:09):
between the tackles when you give him even a sliver
of daylight. But he couldn't get I mean, he was
out there forever and you can call it whatever you want.
You can call collusion, you can call it, you know whatever,
the objectification of a running back. But he was getting
no traction, he was getting no action, and he had
to kind of come back with his tail between his legs,
(20:30):
you know, with a little something something extra. And that's
where that was always headed. It's just I hate to
say it is what it is, but that's where that's
where that position is stuck. And I think unless there's
some player who's just so generationally gifted. But the thing is,
(20:51):
even when you have that right, you had it in
McCaffrey for a minute, they's hurt. Because of course he's
hurt because look at look what he's doing on rushing
his thousand iive receiver. About the totality of all those
hits on your body, and he never leaves the field,
and he's given himself up in past protecting because that's
what you have to do if you want to stay
on the field in that position. So of course it's
going to knock you down. And then the teams are going
(21:11):
to say, well, I'm not paying anybody fifteen sixteen million
dollars a year to do that. Look what it was
for the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
What do you think the odds are? I mean, I
guess probably love. The only thing they can do is,
as you alluded to, they all get together and say
all of us are going to hold out until something
is done. We get into the CBA, we say, okay,
after three years, you can be a free agent. Whatever
it's going to be. What do you think the odds
are actually something is done from this? That could be
them all saying from Derreck, Henry McCaffrey, Eckler, Barkley. They
(21:41):
all say we're not coming in until something is done.
What are the odds that happens?
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Infinite, testimally small, because those guys can be hit with
qungus fines and those guys are going to find that
their contracts pull and you said it, don't find somebody
else to do it? In the interim. You're not gonna
find anybody who could ever be an NFL running back
(22:06):
to all sit on the sidelines in solidarity. It's not
gonna happen, and you're gonna end up having to come
back at some point in time because it's how you
feed your families, and you can only do it for
so long. I mean, as Levy, I'm not like, I
just don't think it's gonna go anywhere. You've got a
brand new head of the NFLPA who nobody even knows
anything about, right and that whole pot of that that
(22:27):
was done in secretcy and cloak and dagger. Nobody even
knows who the Helly was running against. Like you think
he's coming in guns a blazern't gonna fight for running backs?
He think you would come on man like it's a business,
like who do you think if the NFLPA is going
to live and die with the position group? Do you
think it's running backs or quarterbacks? There's going to be
(22:48):
an exemption for the salary cap, you know, a way
to further compute these salaries so that guys can keep
getting monster money but not count as much against the teams.
Do you think that exemption is coming for running backs
or quarterbacks. They're gonna get changing rules to incentivize passing
numbers and protecting quarterbacks. Who is that leaving out there
(23:09):
running backs who get paid to protect the quarterback. But
they're not gonna get buttressed by any of this. Like
it again, it's unfortunate. I'm not saying it's right, but
it's it's not changing. And these owners, like their quarterback
might be able to get you know, their attention and say, hey,
(23:29):
can I can I come up to whatever? Can I
come out on the yacht and talk to you about
something like how many running backs have that sort of cash? Any?
I not? Maybe? I don't know, maybe a couple if
you really sat there down there then thought about it.
So no, I don't think it's going to accomplish much
of anything. I mean, it's good to continue to get
us talking about it. It's good to continue to shine a
(23:50):
light on the problem. But the time to do something
like this was before the last collective bargaining agreement. Like I,
I just don't see it flipping.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
These guys will need to be very vocal in retirement
when the next CBA comes up. See how strongly they
come out and support of the guys that succeed them,
Jason the Packers, right, one of the curiosities. Jason's gonna
Smith's gonna talk all about the Jets because it's Jets, Jets, Jets. Yeah,
but now it's Jordan Love and Murphy saying, well, we'll know,
(24:21):
what about half a season what we have in Jordan Loo.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Hey, you don't know after the three years he's been
with you.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
It's not a good sign. No, I'll just say that.
I mean, there's been a lot of people pushing a
lot of Jordan Love hype and propagate. Well, may prove
to be propaganda. And look, do I think he can
play better than Aaron Rodgers did last year? Yeah? I
also think that's a little bart player. I think his
athleticism alone will will help him somewhat in that regard.
(24:49):
I don't think he's gonna throw thirty four percent of
his passes at or behind the line of scrimmage, But
that doesn't mean he's also a winning quarterback, or a
franchise quarterback, or a guy that you would to build
the next decade around. And you're already three years into
this and you're telling me you need to need another
(25:10):
half season. And no, I mean their talking points should
have been, you know, anything and everything to talk this
kid up, even if it's just to help with you know,
his eventual trade market. But yeah, he's been in your
building for three years, like he You know, if you
if that's the level of conviction you have, maybe you
(25:31):
should have drafted his replacement traft somewhere high and put
him on the clock the way you did Aaron Rodgers
four years ago or three years ago, whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
So I'm gonna zag where you think I'm gonna zig
with Aaron Rodgers. I love how great everything is with
the Jets. We're going fourteen and three. Chreckers also said today, Hey,
we're going to retire his number when the time is right. Suddenly. Now, hey,
it's a it's a love fest with Aaron Rodgers. Or
is this a precursor to Hey, now stories are going
to start coming out about his behavior the last year's
in reband. We want to say we didn't spread them. Look,
(26:02):
we want to retire your jersey.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Oh that's interesting. I hadn't thought in that regard yet,
But I guess you have to you've got to be Yeah,
I guess you've got to kind of be looking at
this like what do they call the military shy ops
or like this is like the dark arts. Look, they
know who, Look, they know better than anybody who they
(26:27):
were down in the in the in the muck of
it with. And he pulls no punches and what he
wants to get out as a way again, Now, yeah,
I don't know, you know, it's been kind of quiet
on that front to this point. I thought maybe even
more of that stuff would have been sort of an
off season story. But I guess his situation dragged on
so long. Maybe he cut into some of that. But look,
(26:52):
it was really really bad with Brett Fire, you know,
and Brett fave had a whole lot of stuff going
on with him, you know, when he left as well,
and they eventually found a way to make amends. So
don't worry. There will be a Kubaya moment and they'll
pretend that none of this happen, and they'll talk about
media narratives and people not knowing the truth and blowing
things out of proportion, right, and they'll kiss and make
(27:13):
up and he'll get his little statue or plaque or whatever,
and they'll say it was always you know, roses and
unicorns and cheerios or whatever.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
He's on Twitter at Jason locking For. That is at
Jason locking For and check him out on Odyssey Washington Post.
Jay as always, buddy, appreciate it. Man. We'll talk to
you next week.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Have fine, I have a good week. By next week,
I think that Jets wins. It'll be up to fifteen
at your week of practice. It'll keep keep rising.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah. Yeah, a couple of cup drink sure, a couple
of good highlights off the TikTok Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Garrett Wilson, Oh yeah, he caught a ball. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (27:49):

the end of your first year, Discover credit cards automatically
double all the cash back you are And that's right,
everything you earned is doubled. Seriously see terms. Check it
out for yourself at Discover dot com. Slash Match. Let's
have a conversation about money, what it means. Uh, maybe
(28:24):
you saw this story. Uh, Saudi soccer club Alhalala is
going to offer Kylie Macbape three hundred and thirty two
million dollar contract. Yeah, so Bape is gonna get three
hundred and thirty two million dollars. Now he's had a
rough go of it with PSG. Yeah, that's that's just
that's just to buy him out. Like the total of
this thing could reach like a billion dollars at some point.
(28:46):
So yeah, it's absolutely insane what it could be for this.
So three hundred thirty two million, they buy him out,
they sign them. It's unbelievable. And now whether this happens
or not, we wait and see. But but PSG is
a little upset and they you know, now you just
wants to join Real Madrid supposedly a year from now,
and maybe Alhalla will let him just do this for
a year and then join, uh the Real Madrid in
(29:08):
a year. So there's a lot of stuff happening. But
you see this money that is being thrown out there,
and it's like we've talked about, is that you need
to prepare yourself that an overwhelming amount of money is
now going to change sports as we know them. Right,
it's here you see this money that Saudi wants to
spend to try to get great soccer players to go
(29:29):
over there. Right. Lebron actually put out of the tweet today.
Oh here's video of me when that Saudi money comes
from the year. It's him as Forrest Gump, like running around,
running around the corner.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Well, Yannis put out the tweet saying I kind of
look like him.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Send it my way. Uh, this overwhelming that's going to
come from people that are unbelieving rich. Not just hey
I'm rich enough, I'm an own rich, but pepe i
things twenty times over now that they want to get
involved in sports. Watch. We saw it, We're seeing it
in soccer. We saw it with live golf, right, we
live that one hundred million dollars owus just to join
the league and then go play. You saw with liv
(30:03):
golf the next NFL TV rights. Watch when Amazon will
say something like yeah, so we're not gonna buy We're
just gonna buy NBC. Yeah, instead, we're gonna do that
and we're gonna put the games on there. I mean
that this is how it's going to go. And then
and even lower level, you have Steve Cohen of the
Mats who has decided I'm gonna spend whatever I want
to on players. Well, you can't spend that much on
why can't I?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Well but look at look at what ESPN reportedly is
doing potentially inviting leagues to partner up. Yeah directly, right,
not not the television right things, but actually you're part
of the actual company. So yeah, the math changes I
think for those stars and where you have those transcendent stars.
When you talk about a Lebron James or whatever, it's
(30:45):
now partnership on a different scale.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Right.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
We've always talked about the players association and those bonds.
I'm curious as to how those deals get worked going forward.
Players that are that are at the top, like say
say it was Jordan in his prime, how different things
look and how much power are they exempted from what
the rest is negotiated because of their their special unique
(31:11):
set of skills, right, And they while we want to
be in your business, Yeah, what team you'reon doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
It's all about you. It's it's it's there was always
the unspoken and you can all talk about collusion that
we're going to keep the salaries growing, but no one's
gonna go crazy and now you have many entities saying
why do I care? Why am I? Why do I
care about that? You have Steve Cohen. At the micro level,
you think of how crazy that Steve co Mike and
we'll spend five five hundred million dollars? What do I care?
(31:37):
Then you get to the macro levels of live golf
and now soccer, Like I said, this deal from BAPE
could be as much as a billion dollars. When when
people come in that have that kind of money, it's
going to change everything. It's share people buy a team
that want to buy, and they want to buy a league.
Why not? Why can't I overwhelm you with all kinds
of cash and and athletes are going to run to it.
(31:58):
And I'll tell you this much is that things are
going to go at such a breakneck pace by twenty thirty, right,
talking about it, seven years by twenty thirty, there will
be an NBA player and an NFL player, most likely
a quarterback making one hundred million dollars a year. Do
you think you say no, no, you're crazy. That's seven
years from now, right, seven years from now.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
R Now your money normally doubles. Here's in good strong
mutual funding sea going Sameir and off space, you miss
the top guys are at sixty now.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
So Samir, you're missing the point of the exercise. The
point is that right now, the top players for this
year are Jokic in the NBA and Jalen Hurts in
the NFL. Fifty five to fifty one million dollars, right,
so how are we going to get to one hundred million?
In twenty sixteen, the highest paid players in the NBA
in the NFL were Andrew Luck and Kobe Bryant. They
(32:49):
were each making twenty five million dollars a year. In
seven years, the top salary in both sports has double.
What did I tell you?
Speaker 4 (32:57):
So?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I did the mad years from now this is going
to double. You're gonna get to somebody at one hundred
million dollars a year in the NFL and somebody one
hundred million dollars a year in the NBA. Yoka is
already gonna push the end of his deal. I think
he's up over sixty and over sixty five like the
last year or two. I mean that that's that's absolutely insane.
Now when you compare it to what's going on and
with with BAP, it's like well, eight hundred really it's
(33:20):
eight hundred million locker. But this is what's gonna happen. Yeah,
insane money is gonna come in and it's starting to
do it now. It's gonna change sports asmen. If you're
upset when guys are making five or ten million or
twenty five million, Kirk Cousins is making thirty eight million dollars, Yeah,
just wait for the next few years. Just wait.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
And that's been the funny thing, right when I've when
I first read the headline started coming through, I'm like,
is that a typo? And then another source, and like
more and more, it's like, Okay, it's eight hundred for
the year. It's not it's not a career because we're
talking about six fifty or whatever.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Otani may g it.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
And and the funny money that the Mets burned this
offseason and the Padres burned this offseason eight hundred million
for one year.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Get ready, Get ready. You think Lebron if they said Lebron,
who's made five hundred and thirty million dollars for his career.
If they said, oh, Lebron, we're doing the Saudi League basketball,
We'll pay you five hundred million dollars for next year.
Do you think he's not gonna go, Well, it's.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Just the curiosity of where he stands in that all
gonna political.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Landscape, all gonna gouy. But money's gonna come from everywhere. Now,
it's not just gonna be Saudi money. It's gonna come
from everywhere. And you watch that. Of course, it's also
the NBA, so I can already hear people yelling they're
already with China. Twitter At, how about a fresco? Or
should I say x at, how about a fresco? Mike

(00:49):
can have a conversation about Barbie and people not know
because I think everybody has seen the movie this weekend.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
There's a lot of people that's on it right. I mean,
we're tracking how much they spent in marketing. First time
I've seen that in a while. You know, normally it's hey,
this is what the production is. But I was like, no, no, no, no,
they spent a lot to market it, so when they
had those box office receipts, don't get too excited.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
See, but here's the thing. Yeah, let me give you
about it. You can no spoilers. No, I'm at Barbie. Hey,
the whole world is seen. It doesn't matter. Barbie's made
like one hundred and eighty million. It's like making like
top Gun Maverick money. That's a spoiler. I think it was.
But let me say this. Yeah, there's been so much.
I've seen it already. You've seen it. I'm wearing paint
shorts today. I mean it was the first half of
(01:31):
the movie, no spoilers. The first half of the movie
was pretty good. I'm like, oh, this is pretty good.
You know, it's high concept. You have to go with it,
you have, but it's pretty good and the cast is big.
And then the second half of the movie it's insanely good.
And now I get, Oh, now I get why everybody
has said, like, why is it such a bed? And
I'm like, oh my god, now I get. I'm you know,
I'm falling over my seat laughing so hard in the
(01:52):
second half of the movie. So you can sit here
and tell me, hey, what a great PR campaign it had.
I've seen other there's a great PR campaign for for
LeVar ball shoes. Right, there's a great PR campaign for
snow Your Nothing is better And this is tried and true.
Nothing is ever better than word of mouth. Because everybody
that went to go to see this movie on Thursday
(02:14):
or Friday told their friends, oh my god, it was
so good. Except Ben Shapiro. Right, well, that's true. There's
gotta be.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
He did a forty three minute against it.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I got.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
It's like, how do I cut through? It's like halfway
half half the running time of the movie. How do
I cut through? I'll be the guy that didn't like Barbie.
I mean, come on, but nothing is better than word
But because we went when we went last night, the
and we went to a big multiplex that has a
big XD and and and the d box seats and everything.
And we get there and they're like, oh, yeah, we
(02:44):
have no nachos, we have no we have that. They
they didn't know they were gonna do that kind of
business on Sunday nights. I didn't have it covered. I'm like,
there's no ice in the in the soda, Maisie, there's
no we had that we had that problem. There's no ice.
Come on, man, there's gotta be ice. So it was
kind of fun to see that, Hey, this is kind
of cool because it's it's it's the movies coming back,
maybe hopefully, but the same time, like, come on, you
(03:06):
gotta have this. It's like the Hell's Kitchen stress tests.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
You didn't work, you aren't ready, shut it down, shut
it down.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So but it was cool.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Groups of people all coordinating what they're wearing. It's like
you're going to the Taylor Swift Show here in l
A two weeks early. This was like the tune up
for Barbie's release, where don't.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Be wearing Harmon? Did I think they get two weeks
from now? Okay, pink taper? He wore, we're working towards this.
He said, preparation for you. I'd say preparation eight us.
No he did. Yeah, Harmon said that you said that
you did what? All right?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
No, that there were no tapers involved that I was
aware of as far as you know.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
But it was just cool.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
So we saw it once in the theater and then
we went to a drive in, so it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Stranded it to drive it branded a.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Food so you had people pumping music before the he started,
and then everybody, uh syncd up in a way we
went and.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Oh, by the way, how about this? I mean really,
and I wanted to I had absolutely no knowledge of this. No, no, no,
this is this is the most mildest of spoilers. No knowledge.
How about Thursday night, we were having that random conversation
about Push right by Matchbox twenty. I was like, what
this is such generic songs in the nineteen nineties, Like,
there's no more generic band in the nineties, and Matchbox
(04:26):
twenty and Tyshirt played Push. I'm like, okay, And all
of a sudden, I'm like, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, no, well I think he's either in the movie
as an extra he'd already seen an advanced copy of it.
But yes, a lot of laughs, well, highly entertaining.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Ryan Goslin sings a lot better than he did in
La La Land. That's you learn along the way.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I mean he looks like a WWE star for a
while with his get ups.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
City of Stars. Yeah, no, it was I was fun.
Ken's song is about as good as it gets. Yes,
and Shank she is in it, and and and and
what's his name? Uh? From The Bad guy see an
invasion is in it, and it's like, Wow, all these
Marvel people that are that's pretty cool, next level stuff. Yeah, going,
I couldn't. Hey, graphic is Graphic going to destroy everybody?
(05:09):
Now I'm waiting he's gonna Why don't you guys just
give out the ending while we're out he destroy body?
Uh give out? She's made plastic Darth Vader's Luke's dead.
There you go. I just ruined it for you. It's wow.
All he did was tell you a couple of actors
that way is in it. That's on the IMDb. There's
no Spanish, there's there's there's like Oscar winners who have
like the tiniest bit part it's giving away the movie.
(05:30):
I'm like, oh my good, really, I go wait, that
was the director of that movie that was nominated in
twenty twenty that all those things sh had the time.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
But it comes down to this, right, It's it's the
age old. If you want to be mad about something,
you can be mad about something. Yeah, right, you can
go find.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Your way to your blog or blog or whatever you're
gonna do.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You've got a TV show. I mean, we we see
hot take nonsense about the Sporting universe every day. So
I mean we're we're part of that world kind of
like we're no, I'm bringing the Little Mermaid in. But
the reality is, if you just sat back and decided
to immerse yourself and enjoy what was going up. Yeah,
there's some deep thoughts, this little Jack handy ism kind
(06:10):
of to it. You want to do that, But if
you just want to see it as surface level, there's
a lot of pink, and there's Ryan Gosling as ken Hey.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And in the end, look what do I always say,
In the end, movies have to change. They have to
raise their game. Now, Hollywood's got to come to us
because the whole default of us just going to the
movies doesn't happen anymore where if you would have it, Well,
I've seen the top four movies that around. I'll go
see that fifth one. No, we don't do that anymore, right,
we don't do that. I mean that is you got
(06:38):
to entertain me, and you got to make sure that
I'm having fun. And there's no surprise that Barbie just
smoked Oppenheimer because it's like, boy, I could go see
a really fun, entertaining movie about Barbie that if so Hey,
how good was it?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Man, Barbie was fun? Hey how is Oppenheimer?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
It was good, it was heavy. It was a little longer,
like going to see Barbie. But i'my Barbie Barbie.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
But I'll tell you the receipts on Oppenheimer pretty surprising.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, I'm not saying it's not. But you see the
difference between the two movies. It's you entertain me with
a movie that's fun. That's what people want.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Your original give me a new story, don't give me
part thirty eight. I mean you saw the precipitous drop
off from Mission Impossible, people who felt like they needed
to be complete. It's like, oh, I gotta buy that book.
I'm out on the series, but I can't not. I
can't leave book seven unpurchased.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, we're nice in the lead here, guys, what's that?
How many naps Harmon? I think Harmon? Probably yet movies?
Three naps? Two movies? Three Napsbie?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Like, wait, get up for how many? How many naps?
How many naps in Oppenheimer? I haven't seen it yet. Oh, okay, alright,
because I'm thinking you're good for at least two.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I'm trying to get people to tell me and confirm
whether Sting Song Russians is in there or not. I'm
not going unless that's in.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Twitter it out about a Fresco Mike has swallowing down
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.

(08:15):
there is that too. So how much money did it
make an opening weeked? Like one hundred and sixty million dollars.
So it's gonna stay like that after this segment? Uh no,
probably more people are from now. Maybe we'll go up
now to more and now it's gonna be up over
two hundred million. You just spared me. I know what
exactly what happens there? You go Barbie? Uh well, they say,
come on, Barbie, let's go party. Oh oh, and that's
(08:35):
what happens. And that's the movie. Come on, Barbie and
let's go party. Oh is that song in it? What
do you think it's a movie about Barbie. It's the
only song there is about Barbie. Do you think it's
in the movie. There's gotta be one more you think that, Oh, oh,
they gotta be to Barbie. I just gave you a
big song that was in it. I want to push
you around. Can you do that again? Please? Never do
(08:58):
that again. Come on, Barbie, let's go party. Oh, gun on, Barbie,
let's go by. Oh I'm gonna stab you with this pen.
And now look now, the real, the real, the only
shame in the Barbie Weekend is that that, you know,
Barbenheimer took away from a story that you clearly should
be front and center, and that is that Tom Brady
is dating Arena Shake. I mean, that's that's a big deal. Now,
(09:20):
Giselle is very upset for reasons I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Well no, no, there's another report that says she isn't
so she was upset. Now she was according to one
anonymous source, she's upset. Which way doesn't play in the
supermodel pool. See, yeah, he goes outside.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
That and it's just you know, another ask. Let's get
in at something. Let's get it out there that I'm upset.
Then let's get it out there that I'm not upset.
Whichever way people like me more. That's the way I'm
gonna take.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
That's really how it's good.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It gets It allows her to get closure all of
that stuff. Am I not? Am I upset? Am I not?
You can't be upset. You're gallivanting around the globe with
with your jujit to instructor and his pictures, all the temple,
all of that, and now this is a year later,
but you're the one that tapped out of it. You
were done with. Now I'm upset. You can't be upset.
Can't be upset? You can't. I mean, you canna have regret?
(10:11):
You can't. It's been a year, they've been divorced a year,
but you can still have regret. You know who doesn't.
It's it's man, it's wait you Danny, Chris Pine? Is
that what you said? You just said?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I did not?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
You just did say Chris Pie just said Chris Pine.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
But there is a big thing to talk about this
right now, with this Tom Brady arena shaker is yeah,
uh is how would Chris Berman announce this story like yeah, yeah, yeah,
I know. We gotta kick it off, right, it's a
harty weekend. We're fun. Yeah, we're starting with I mean yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Tom Brady does look like a human ken Yeah, he
could be.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
He could have been again, he could have been. I
was kinda kind of waiting on him. Or maybe Garoppolo
did show up. Spoiler alert. There's like I had a
video of Brady caressing Arena Shake's cheek that is in
the papers. It's just him with his fist cock to
punch Garoppolo and Garoppolo putting his hands over his face. No, please, no, no,
(11:10):
I just passed the physical I'm just allowed to play again.
Please no, not the fan man, that's big news. Not

Arena Shake? Okay, how would he do this? I here's it.

a good one. It's like it's like when you put

gonna slow it down. Here we go, this all right? Now,
here we go, TJ. Report say, spending the weekend at
Tom Brady's house was model arena, Shake and Bake McBride

a meme on Twitter. Shake and bacon. It's gonna be
Arena shake and it's gonna be Bake McBride. Come on, man,

got you, so I got my cause is the most
top three reference. I can't just most of the kids
(13:03):
don't know who Bake McBride is. I just can't give
you up. Maybe Google machine, maybe Tom Brady will shake
it off. I mean I can't do you know the
generic ones that everybody's gonna get. No, I gotta give
you a shake and Bake mc That's good. No, it's good.
It was a little off the beaten path. Yes, can
I win what I said beaten path? He did? It
was pretty good. I didn't go quite into the full
line that I was in the trail. That's it my
(13:25):
top three now I said this in my top You
don't have another one? No, no, no, I'm with my topic. God,
that's it. He's got another save the other guy. I
have another list, which we'll do later because uh, you know,
the Reds will get to Llie de la Cruz is
amazing home run tonight. It's good that he's starting to
hit the ball again. But the Reds might trade Jonathan India. Yeah,
so I have, Howard Berman reported, Jonathan India trade, be careful.
(13:46):
I got a couple of big one why, I don't know.
I'm I'm afraid you're gonna cause the over. I just
I just I just had steak and Jake. Okay, I
gotta save that though, to say that for it's coming on.
Oh you were going shake wait? No, no, no, no no,
shake wight would have been good? That, would you know?
I could have done that. One would have been and TJ.
(14:08):
Tom Brady dating Arena shake wait? Is that actually true?
That would have been a fourth way. That would have
been a good fourth I was a little afraid of
where it might have gone on. It would have been
a good fourth one. That would have been Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Shake wait is usually you know, you start entering dangerous euphemismics. Well,
and I want That's why I wanted doing that was
pretty good extemporaneous speaking at that. Either that, either that
or you and frostburg and had worked that out as
a bit before I.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Got I got everybody right now listening going on Twitter,
going Philly's outfielders of the seventies, oh Man, Bake McBride,

Big happenings in the NFL over the week, and as
we're here getting set with teams reporting, we're getting Jets
news every single day. Jets Jets, Jets, Jets, I told
you we used the Aaron Rodgers show all Tony. That's
(15:37):
all we need for the rest of the time. That
is true. It has gotten us to this point. Every
day is Aaron Rodgers and the Jets.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets, especially now that he looks like
the great Gazoo.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Hey look at that. Look at that great pass Aaron
Rodgers made. Look Aaron Rodgers got a got a big
chain from Sauce Gardener. Look that Jets unveiled throwback unis today. Ah, Jets.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Just look at Garrett Wilson running past Sauce Gardener exposing him.
He doesn't hold.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah right, you're talking about two best players in their
position in the NFL. Everything was boy, but the big
goings on this weekend, the zoom call between all the
star running backs trying to figure out, Hey, we're not
getting paid, what can we do with us now? To
break it all down on the hot line, longtime NFL
insider for Odyssey Washington Post and a man who I
(16:20):
told last week, dude, your Orioles are gonna win the
Al East. I've been telling you for a month They're
gonna win the Al East. They've been doing everything right
behind the Rays. Look at where they are now, basically
a four game leading the loss column. Jason Lockin fora
I told you it's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Well, you said there was no chance that the Orioles
wouldn't win the division, is how you phrased it. I look,
I picked the O's to go to the playoffs at
the All Star Break, I picked them to win the division.
I think it'll come down to the bidder end all
things with this team, and nothing's easy. They don't get
(16:59):
a lot to blowout wins, but man, do they fight
their backsides off. And then they did it again tonight
in Philadelphia on a night where really none of the
relievers that they could trust were available, and they still
found the way to win. Yeah. I'll be fascinating to
see what they do between now and Tuesday, because they're
as loaded as anybody. I mean, really, Michael oister GM
(17:22):
has so many different cards he could play, whether it's Otani,
whether it's trying to get Bellinger and Strohman or Snow
and Hater or just like a Mitch Keller from the
Pirates and David Robertson from the Mets, and then maybe
Duvall or somebody like that to fill maybe a short
(17:45):
term needed center field. But yeah, it's a great time
in Bergland. Man.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
See, well, I don't think you need to do any
of that. You just have to have a zoom call
when things will go your way, get all the best
players on it, and then they figure out what to
do from there.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Yeah. I don't know where that's going. I don't know that.
I mean it's great to like. Look, those guys are
in the cuss spot. They've been in a cuss spot
for a while. It's not going to change anytime soon.
This CBA has a lot of time left on it,
and you can't force teams to spend money in ways
they don't want to spend it. And they should commiserate
(18:19):
with one another, they should exchange ideas, you know. I'm
all about unity and solidarity, but short of them all
withholding their services, you know, and having like a class
action walk out, and even that, the way this CBA structured,
I don't know in the short term what it would accomplish.
(18:40):
It just is what it is, unfortunately, and teams are
going to prize different things at different times, right, And
there was a period of time in baseball when no
one was talking about Waltz and nobody was talking about
on base percentage, and everybody was caught up in you know,
RBIs and batting average, and that pendulum has swung and
(19:02):
guys get paid for different sort of skill sets, and
I think you find that in different sports, right, I
mean in the NBA. If you're just a big stiff center,
you know, who can only play in the paint and
there's all these other guys who can stretch it, who's
going to get you know what I mean, who's getting
the money? I don't know. I feel for them because
(19:22):
it is a tremendously I mean football, it soffice, I mean,
is obviously a brutal, brutal sport. Then they play arguably
the most brutal position, but that's held against them, and
that's going to continue to be held against them.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Well yeah, the hard part to it, right, they stage
a walk out, Guess what other guys get opportunities? I
find it interesting, Jason also that the guy that's the
organizer is Austin Eckler, who's the poster child for the
whole thing.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Well yeah, I mean, look, if you want to talk
about a guy who should fit the modern version of
a back, right, he does as well as anybody when
you look him being so multifaceted, and him being so
good out in space, and him having such short hands,
and him protecting the football and what he can do
(20:09):
between the tackles when you give him even a sliver
of daylight. But he couldn't get I mean, he was
out there forever and you can call it whatever you want.
You can call collusion, you can call it, you know whatever,
the objectification of a running back. But he was getting
no traction, he was getting no action, and he had
to kind of come back with his tail between his legs,
(20:30):
you know, with a little something something extra. And that's
where that was always headed. It's just I hate to
say it is what it is, but that's where that's
where that position is stuck. And I think unless there's
some player who's just so generationally gifted. But the thing is,
(20:51):
even when you have that right, you had it in
McCaffrey for a minute, they's hurt. Because of course he's
hurt because look at look what he's doing on rushing
his thousand iive receiver. About the totality of all those
hits on your body, and he never leaves the field,
and he's given himself up in past protecting because that's
what you have to do if you want to stay
on the field in that position. So of course it's
going to knock you down. And then the teams are going
(21:11):
to say, well, I'm not paying anybody fifteen sixteen million
dollars a year to do that. Look what it was
for the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
What do you think the odds are? I mean, I
guess probably love. The only thing they can do is,
as you alluded to, they all get together and say
all of us are going to hold out until something
is done. We get into the CBA, we say, okay,
after three years, you can be a free agent. Whatever
it's going to be. What do you think the odds
are actually something is done from this? That could be
them all saying from Derreck, Henry McCaffrey, Eckler, Barkley. They
(21:41):
all say we're not coming in until something is done.
What are the odds that happens?
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Infinite, testimally small, because those guys can be hit with
qungus fines and those guys are going to find that
their contracts pull and you said it, don't find somebody
else to do it? In the interim. You're not gonna
find anybody who could ever be an NFL running back
(22:06):
to all sit on the sidelines in solidarity. It's not
gonna happen, and you're gonna end up having to come
back at some point in time because it's how you
feed your families, and you can only do it for
so long. I mean, as Levy, I'm not like, I
just don't think it's gonna go anywhere. You've got a
brand new head of the NFLPA who nobody even knows
anything about, right and that whole pot of that that
(22:27):
was done in secretcy and cloak and dagger. Nobody even
knows who the Helly was running against. Like you think
he's coming in guns a blazern't gonna fight for running backs?
He think you would come on man like it's a business,
like who do you think if the NFLPA is going
to live and die with the position group? Do you
think it's running backs or quarterbacks? There's going to be
(22:48):
an exemption for the salary cap, you know, a way
to further compute these salaries so that guys can keep
getting monster money but not count as much against the teams.
Do you think that exemption is coming for running backs
or quarterbacks. They're gonna get changing rules to incentivize passing
numbers and protecting quarterbacks. Who is that leaving out there
(23:09):
running backs who get paid to protect the quarterback. But
they're not gonna get buttressed by any of this. Like
it again, it's unfortunate. I'm not saying it's right, but
it's it's not changing. And these owners, like their quarterback
might be able to get you know, their attention and say, hey,
(23:29):
can I can I come up to whatever? Can I
come out on the yacht and talk to you about
something like how many running backs have that sort of cash? Any?
I not? Maybe? I don't know, maybe a couple if
you really sat there down there then thought about it.
So no, I don't think it's going to accomplish much
of anything. I mean, it's good to continue to get
us talking about it. It's good to continue to shine a
(23:50):
light on the problem. But the time to do something
like this was before the last collective bargaining agreement. Like I,
I just don't see it flipping.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
These guys will need to be very vocal in retirement
when the next CBA comes up. See how strongly they
come out and support of the guys that succeed them,
Jason the Packers, right, one of the curiosities. Jason's gonna
Smith's gonna talk all about the Jets because it's Jets, Jets, Jets. Yeah,
but now it's Jordan Love and Murphy saying, well, we'll know,
(24:21):
what about half a season what we have in Jordan Loo.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Hey, you don't know after the three years he's been
with you.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
It's not a good sign. No, I'll just say that.
I mean, there's been a lot of people pushing a
lot of Jordan Love hype and propagate. Well, may prove
to be propaganda. And look, do I think he can
play better than Aaron Rodgers did last year? Yeah? I
also think that's a little bart player. I think his
athleticism alone will will help him somewhat in that regard.
(24:49):
I don't think he's gonna throw thirty four percent of
his passes at or behind the line of scrimmage, But
that doesn't mean he's also a winning quarterback, or a
franchise quarterback, or a guy that you would to build
the next decade around. And you're already three years into
this and you're telling me you need to need another
(25:10):
half season. And no, I mean their talking points should
have been, you know, anything and everything to talk this
kid up, even if it's just to help with you know,
his eventual trade market. But yeah, he's been in your
building for three years, like he You know, if you
if that's the level of conviction you have, maybe you
(25:31):
should have drafted his replacement traft somewhere high and put
him on the clock the way you did Aaron Rodgers
four years ago or three years ago, whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
So I'm gonna zag where you think I'm gonna zig
with Aaron Rodgers. I love how great everything is with
the Jets. We're going fourteen and three. Chreckers also said today, Hey,
we're going to retire his number when the time is right. Suddenly. Now, hey,
it's a it's a love fest with Aaron Rodgers. Or
is this a precursor to Hey, now stories are going
to start coming out about his behavior the last year's
in reband. We want to say we didn't spread them. Look,
(26:02):
we want to retire your jersey.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Oh that's interesting. I hadn't thought in that regard yet,
But I guess you have to you've got to be Yeah,
I guess you've got to kind of be looking at
this like what do they call the military shy ops
or like this is like the dark arts. Look, they
know who, Look, they know better than anybody who they
(26:27):
were down in the in the in the muck of
it with. And he pulls no punches and what he
wants to get out as a way again, Now, yeah,
I don't know, you know, it's been kind of quiet
on that front to this point. I thought maybe even
more of that stuff would have been sort of an
off season story. But I guess his situation dragged on
so long. Maybe he cut into some of that. But look,
(26:52):
it was really really bad with Brett Fire, you know,
and Brett fave had a whole lot of stuff going
on with him, you know, when he left as well,
and they eventually found a way to make amends. So
don't worry. There will be a Kubaya moment and they'll
pretend that none of this happen, and they'll talk about
media narratives and people not knowing the truth and blowing
things out of proportion, right, and they'll kiss and make
(27:13):
up and he'll get his little statue or plaque or whatever,
and they'll say it was always you know, roses and
unicorns and cheerios or whatever.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
He's on Twitter at Jason locking For. That is at
Jason locking For and check him out on Odyssey Washington Post.
Jay as always, buddy, appreciate it. Man. We'll talk to
you next week.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Have fine, I have a good week. By next week,
I think that Jets wins. It'll be up to fifteen
at your week of practice. It'll keep keep rising.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah. Yeah, a couple of cup drink sure, a couple
of good highlights off the TikTok Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Garrett Wilson, Oh yeah, he caught a ball. Let's go.

everything you earned is doubled. Seriously see terms. Check it
out for yourself at Discover dot com. Slash Match. Let's
have a conversation about money, what it means. Uh, maybe
(28:24):
you saw this story. Uh, Saudi soccer club Alhalala is
going to offer Kylie Macbape three hundred and thirty two
million dollar contract. Yeah, so Bape is gonna get three
hundred and thirty two million dollars. Now he's had a
rough go of it with PSG. Yeah, that's that's just
that's just to buy him out. Like the total of
this thing could reach like a billion dollars at some point.
(28:46):
So yeah, it's absolutely insane what it could be for this.
So three hundred thirty two million, they buy him out,
they sign them. It's unbelievable. And now whether this happens
or not, we wait and see. But but PSG is
a little upset and they you know, now you just
wants to join Real Madrid supposedly a year from now,
and maybe Alhalla will let him just do this for
a year and then join, uh the Real Madrid in
(29:08):
a year. So there's a lot of stuff happening. But
you see this money that is being thrown out there,
and it's like we've talked about, is that you need
to prepare yourself that an overwhelming amount of money is
now going to change sports as we know them. Right,
it's here you see this money that Saudi wants to
spend to try to get great soccer players to go
(29:29):
over there. Right. Lebron actually put out of the tweet today.
Oh here's video of me when that Saudi money comes
from the year. It's him as Forrest Gump, like running around,
running around the corner.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Well, Yannis put out the tweet saying I kind of
look like him.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Send it my way. Uh, this overwhelming that's going to
come from people that are unbelieving rich. Not just hey
I'm rich enough, I'm an own rich, but pepe i
things twenty times over now that they want to get
involved in sports. Watch. We saw it, We're seeing it
in soccer. We saw it with live golf, right, we
live that one hundred million dollars owus just to join
the league and then go play. You saw with liv
(30:03):
golf the next NFL TV rights. Watch when Amazon will
say something like yeah, so we're not gonna buy We're
just gonna buy NBC. Yeah, instead, we're gonna do that
and we're gonna put the games on there. I mean
that this is how it's going to go. And then
and even lower level, you have Steve Cohen of the
Mats who has decided I'm gonna spend whatever I want
to on players. Well, you can't spend that much on
why can't I?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Well but look at look at what ESPN reportedly is
doing potentially inviting leagues to partner up. Yeah directly, right,
not not the television right things, but actually you're part
of the actual company. So yeah, the math changes I
think for those stars and where you have those transcendent stars.
When you talk about a Lebron James or whatever, it's
(30:45):
now partnership on a different scale.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Right.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
We've always talked about the players association and those bonds.
I'm curious as to how those deals get worked going forward.
Players that are that are at the top, like say
say it was Jordan in his prime, how different things
look and how much power are they exempted from what
the rest is negotiated because of their their special unique
(31:11):
set of skills, right, And they while we want to
be in your business, Yeah, what team you'reon doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
It's all about you. It's it's it's there was always
the unspoken and you can all talk about collusion that
we're going to keep the salaries growing, but no one's
gonna go crazy and now you have many entities saying
why do I care? Why am I? Why do I
care about that? You have Steve Cohen. At the micro level,
you think of how crazy that Steve co Mike and
we'll spend five five hundred million dollars? What do I care?
(31:37):
Then you get to the macro levels of live golf
and now soccer, Like I said, this deal from BAPE
could be as much as a billion dollars. When when
people come in that have that kind of money, it's
going to change everything. It's share people buy a team
that want to buy, and they want to buy a league.
Why not? Why can't I overwhelm you with all kinds
of cash and and athletes are going to run to it.
(31:58):
And I'll tell you this much is that things are
going to go at such a breakneck pace by twenty thirty, right,
talking about it, seven years by twenty thirty, there will
be an NBA player and an NFL player, most likely
a quarterback making one hundred million dollars a year. Do
you think you say no, no, you're crazy. That's seven
years from now, right, seven years from now.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
R Now your money normally doubles. Here's in good strong
mutual funding sea going Sameir and off space, you miss
the top guys are at sixty now.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
So Samir, you're missing the point of the exercise. The
point is that right now, the top players for this
year are Jokic in the NBA and Jalen Hurts in
the NFL. Fifty five to fifty one million dollars, right,
so how are we going to get to one hundred million?
In twenty sixteen, the highest paid players in the NBA
in the NFL were Andrew Luck and Kobe Bryant. They
(32:49):
were each making twenty five million dollars a year. In
seven years, the top salary in both sports has double.
What did I tell you?
Speaker 4 (32:57):
So?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I did the mad years from now this is going
to double. You're gonna get to somebody at one hundred
million dollars a year in the NFL and somebody one
hundred million dollars a year in the NBA. Yoka is
already gonna push the end of his deal. I think
he's up over sixty and over sixty five like the
last year or two. I mean that that's that's absolutely insane.
Now when you compare it to what's going on and
with with BAP, it's like well, eight hundred really it's
(33:20):
eight hundred million locker. But this is what's gonna happen. Yeah,
insane money is gonna come in and it's starting to
do it now. It's gonna change sports asmen. If you're
upset when guys are making five or ten million or
twenty five million, Kirk Cousins is making thirty eight million dollars, Yeah,
just wait for the next few years. Just wait.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
And that's been the funny thing, right when I've when
I first read the headline started coming through, I'm like,
is that a typo? And then another source, and like
more and more, it's like, Okay, it's eight hundred for
the year. It's not it's not a career because we're
talking about six fifty or whatever.
Speaker 1 (33:52):

And and the funny money that the Mets burned this
offseason and the Padres burned this offseason eight hundred million
for one year.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Get ready, Get ready. You think Lebron if they said Lebron,
who's made five hundred and thirty million dollars for his career.
If they said, oh, Lebron, we're doing the Saudi League basketball,
We'll pay you five hundred million dollars for next year.
Do you think he's not gonna go, Well, it's.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Just the curiosity of where he stands in that all
gonna political.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Landscape, all gonna gouy. But money's gonna come from everywhere. Now,
it's not just gonna be Saudi money. It's gonna come
from everywhere. And you watch that. Of course, it's also
the NBA, so I can already hear people yelling they're
already with China. Twitter At, how about a fresco? Or
