Mike Carbon it is the Jason Smith Show with my
best friend mine.

That's a sack lunch.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
I remember, it's all perspective because as you can see,
Frostburg is ready for game time. He might go to
the stadium right now and just go sit in the booth.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Me in the same sentences, Baker Mayfield just.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Stay there, sleep at the stadium, come out like the
Baker Mayfield the book club that they would have there
and anything.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Let's just say so fight fight fight fight, fight, fight
fight fight. No.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Listen a little bit more on the Russell Wilson conversation.
We're having a few minutes ago before we get into
this crazy story involved in Colorado. Look, this season for
the Broncos is gonna be one that will be better
than last year. And I've always thought year two would
be better because you actually have a head coach in

(02:20):
there who knows what he's doing, and he's got a
great track record of success with every quarterback. The fact
that there's not been hardly any positives out of the
preseason with Peyton and Russell Wilson about being on the
same page, and Russell Wilson still apparently the diva that
he was. This is not gonna be a great year.
It'll be better because the Broncos still have a lot

(02:41):
of talent and Peyton is a terrific head coach. But
are we gonna suddenly see, hey, here's Russell Wilson back
too close to being the the quarterback that he was
when they got traded a year and a half ago.
I'll tell you this right now, if Russell Wilson is around,
let's say you're you're ranking the quarterbacks for this season.
If Russell Wilson is in the middle of the pack,

(03:02):
I think that's a success. Like if he's like around
anywhere from sure, fourteen to eighteen, like that's a success
for Russell Wilson. I no longer think he can get
it back to where it was. I just doesn't. It
just doesn't seem like he still has that. Whether it
was the change of teams, whether it was the difference
in head coaches in how they knew how to coach

(03:24):
Russell Wilson much better in Seattle, because clearly Pete Carroll
figured out a way to coach Russell Wilson a pretty
good way for a long time. Whether it's that or
I don't know, but it's just it's just not gone smooth,
and there's been nothing to tell you that, Hey, Wilson's
got it. Wilson's learned a lot in his second year. Hey,
I know I have to change my ways. I was
enabled as a diva for a while and then finally

(03:45):
I ran out. I woreant my welcome in Seattle. I
thought things would be different, and it's not. And I'm
not the one that's going to change. Well, if that's
the case, guess what, It's going to be another rough
ass year for the Broncos. They'll win a little bit more,
But I'm right now, I think success for the Broncos
is is if we can somehow squeak into the playoffs,
just squeak it, and Wilson can be a middle of

(04:08):
the pack quarterback, not a top ten guy like he
was for most of his career, but if he could
just be middle of the pack, I think the Broncos
would take that. Now.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Well, but that's it. You're looking at that just in division. Okay,
case he dropped the first one, they'll be fine. They'll
be fine when you look, because eventually Chris Jones is
coming back for the second half of his money because
he needs the year accrued. Right, So while he gives
up a million dollars to go sit in the stadium
and watch games right now, just kind of funny, but

(04:36):
it's in. Kelsey will get back and it'll be fine.
But then you have the Chargers, who, look, the biggest
issue they had was getting guys on the field. In theory,
you've changed up things in the trainer's room that can't
do anything but help, right, No disrespect to those guys,
guys and folks affected there, but let's face it, they

(04:56):
had a lot of problems and games lost in productivity lost.
He got Slater back on the offensive line. Uh, and
you're you're getting ready to roll. The Raiders aren't gonna
be great. But I don't I don't think they're trash,
right because even if Garoppolo gets hurt, you and I
both like O'Connell.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Ain't O'Connell right.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
But just in saying, I'm not saying they're chasing those
other two teams. Justin all I'm saying is you're you're
gonna have a hard time climbing over the Raiders if
you're the Broncos in general. No, okay, yeah, no, that's true.
That is a good generalization. That will We'll take that.
But with Russell Wilson, we we were breaking that down
and it wasn't because of any personality or any of

(05:39):
the whispers in the background. You know, you had the
little fight towards the end power struggle in Seattle. But
he was not the same player then, right, the scrambles,
the extra you know, buying time for plays. That wasn't
there to put the head down and try to fight
for an extra yard. He wasn't that guy anymore either,
And so there was already a bit of a decline,

(06:02):
which is why the Seahawks were more than happy to
reset and go back to their way of doing business
before it became the Russell Wilson machine and let Russ
Cook Sean Payton might be able to go some out
of him, but always public commentary. All these interviews he's
done where it's talking about Russell the celebrity or whatever. No, no, no,

(06:23):
he's a very calculated man. He knows exactly what he's
doing because when it goes wrong, he'll cut that guy loose.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Exit. How about a Fresca exit Swallen Dome, Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon Live from the Tireck dot Com studios. Now,
the lucky thing for Russell Wilson is that if they're
bad but Colorado football keeps winning, Okay, no, it'll be
a thing right because nice distraction. Colorado's taking over college
football in one week. Dean Sanders has become the entire

(06:53):
sport and it's been an unbelievable and unbelievably fast run.
It's been a blitz and wh football needs it. They
need a new superstar coach and team that appeals nationally.
Now here's the crazy part about tomorrow's game. Had the
interest level in Colorado. They're the big nude kickoff for
Fox as they play in Nebraska. Colorado is a three

(07:16):
point favorite over the corn Huskers. They are at home,
coming off a win over the team that made it
to the National Championship Game last year, that was the
fifteenth right team in the country coming in. Now, do
we know how good TCU is? No. Look, they've lost players.
They lost Doug and they lost Johnson, they lost they
lost a bunch of players.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
And remember it was still only a three point win,
right right, Because that's the other part that comes out
of this.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
They did give up forty five. Yeah, they didn't go
in and blow them out. But here's a team that
was coming off a one win season and here they
are suddenly with NFL dudes making all kinds of plays
and Shadura Sanders and Travis Hunter, and they go on
the road and they win this game. And now they're
playing their home opener against the Nebraska team that had
to run I think they ran the annexation of Puerto

(08:02):
Rico just where their only touchdown last week in losing
on Thursday night to Minnesota. Nebraska looks awful and Colorado
looks incredibly talented and fast on offense. How is this
a three point spread. I don't get and how not
only this the three point spread, but this is the
big thing. A quarter of all the money being bet

(08:24):
this weekend on college football is going down on Colorado.
A quarter of all the money being bet this line,
and this line hasn't moved. I mean, nothing makes sense,
Mike t which tells me this could be the trap
of all trap games because casinos aren't in business to
lose money. And I don't understand ed. I don't understand

(08:44):
all this. This this should be. They should be a
ten point favorite. They should be a fourteen point favorite.
It's college football. You're opening up at home, you had
a big win, You're a top twenty five team, open
up against the ohen one team. Yeah. I know that
Nebraska is a nine point favorite the summer because no
one knew how things were gonna go with the other Colorado.
But I think they prove their ahead of schedule and
it's a three point game. A three point right, that's

(09:05):
going to be You're telling me on a neutral field
Colorado and Nebraska is a jump ball. No way. This
tells me somebody knows something and we could be in
for the biggest trap game of the week in college football.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
But Jason, that is a twelve point swing right in
terms of a point spread, I mean nearly two touchdowns. Okay,
it makes sense, all right, maybe it should be a
little bit higher. You would think it's a little bit higher.
But look, the money money moving, and like they now
have exposure and that's fine. But I think most folks

(09:38):
would expect all right, you saw what they have on tape,
the emotion, they can't possibly have the same level. Even
though it is a home game. Big Fox will be there.
I know they've promoted a pregame interview and everything else,
but that you're expecting Matt rule in Nebraska maybe to
have a little bit of something after the way that

(10:00):
first game was handled, that the offense will be a
little bit better. And maybe they won't. Maybe they go
out and that get absolutely curb stumps. But if they
can work the interior of the Colorado defensive line and
put up a couple of long, protracted drives, I'm not
saying you're gonna win any kind of shootout, but you're
gonna be able to hang around the game. Again, that

(10:21):
was a twelve point swing in a line. I don't
know how many of those you see because most quarterbacks
are worth only about seven points, right.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yeah, but it's college football. I guess the best line
for the best quarterback.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Well, I mean, we've got Todd Furrman coming up later
on tonight. He can give you a primer on moving
a line and where dollars make sense.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Well, I'm telling you, man, I feel like we're being
we're being taken for a ride on this game. That
somehow Nebraska's gonna wait that Matt Rule is going to
walk around giving the finger to everybody going. I told
that coach look at all it. But I mean, I
don't say. There's no thing that tells me I can
see this. They couldn't score against Minnesota. Again, they could

(11:04):
score against.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Minnesota and they were unable to row the boat.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
That is absolutely true.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
The teams defense is good, man, Now.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Tell wether loss. Listen, you got kg Googliata still can
score a little bit for you. Oh yeah, one of
my favorites right there, I get it.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
I got Shapiro, guys, pretty good?

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Sure, Oh yeah, yea, it's pretty good. He had a
couple hits of the twins for r Yeah yeah, oh yeah.
But nothing makes sense for this, like nothing does here's Colorado.
No matter how you think, if you love or hate
Dion Sanders, the bottom line is, this is a team
that went in scored forty five points on the team
that was coming off the national championship game, that was
preseason ranked in the top fifteen. And they win a game,

(11:42):
and they get to play their first home game against
a team that could barely put ten points on the
board against a mid level Big Time against a lower
level Big ten team, sorry, row the boat, against a
lower level Big ten team. And yet this is a
game that and Colorado's at home and is a three
point favorite that a neutral field. It's a also nothing
makes sense with that, which tell and when nothing makes sense,

(12:04):
I look and go, somebody knows something, and Nebraska's maybe
Steve Taylor comes back to play quarterback for Nebraska. Maybe
Eric Crouch comes back. To me, Mike Rozier is gonna
run the football. But somebody knows something because I look
at this and go nothing makes sense, which tells me, yeah, okay,
Nebraska getting three why not why not be in for that?
Because the way this line is, it could have moved

(12:25):
from from nine points from a nine point dog to
a ten point favorite. You could have had that. Yeah,
it would have been a big move. But it's college
football big. You know, lines move that big in college
football a lot. It wouldn't have been so out of
the ordinary to see that line move that way.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Well, there you go, we've got a bit of chaos.
Todd Ferman will join us out of Vegas in about
an hour's time. We'll get a little more on the
primer and the art of moving lines as he did
work for Caesars for years and now that beout the
board podcast as good as it gets. I also have
a question on why people actually like the Bears this week.
I have some thoughts because he did a deep dive
on that. But you're nervous about Colorado. See now you're

(13:01):
coming along to my side. Maybe it's not all you know, Camelot.
Maybe it's not all the greatness. Maybe there's swartz there
that'll be exposed by Matt Ruhle.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
No wait a minute, but but I like the Bears
this week. I like the Bears, but up a lot
of points this week. I liked that we got to
get into that game. I think of that. I have
a big, bold prediction for that game is for the Bears. Packers,
I get a big, bold prediction, all right. I like that.

Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
You know, I remember when that song came out. I
really liked it. And now inspect yourself while you're there
and in retrospect. Then when I got older, because you know,
the song came out, I think I was probably like thirteen,
what was his eighty three, eighty four, nineteen hundreds, I'm like, oh,
this is a pretty good song by Jefferson. Now they

(13:56):
were Jefferson's starship now not Jefson. Then they look back
and I go, oh wow, that's what happened to them
after Jefferson Airplane. Oh wow. Oh that's just that's so embarrassing.
That's so embarrassing. That is like, hey, it's the eighties.
We gotta change, we gotta change everything. We're gonna change
what we wear, gonna change our music, gonna change it all.

(14:16):
We built this city, this kick Cass city, oh Man.
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carbon
Live the Tyrech dot Com Studios. All right, so looking
ahead at Week one of the NFL, how about a
couple of bold predictions we look we look at like
bold predictions. Let's go now. First one, I'll give you this,
and this is not gonna make Frostburg happy, but who

(14:39):
will have the most passing yards Week one in the NFL?

Speaker 4 (14:43):
Don't you do it?

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Gimme Justin Herbert, Jimmy, Justin Herbert, gimme him for four
bills on Wow.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
You will see, Mike, you can go.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
All right, So how how Jason Johnston becomes Star Way?
Do you see how fast this is gonna be a
lot of offense in this game. He's gonna put up
a ton of points.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
And Mike, he still thinks he's talking.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Well, you know, he was going on a pretty good
rant and rant and getting himself lathered up there.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Look, I could go home if you guys are done,
if you guys want to, if I can, I can
be done tonight. I can go to the pool. I
actually said go to the pool because one of my
TVs I have it in front of me is John
Wick two and it's just a scene where what's your
name got Slitzer? Slitzer wrists because she knows john Wick's
gonna kill her and she just you know, dies in

(15:36):
the hotel. Yeah, sorry, spoiler. Uh no, but look, this
is gonna be a game with a ton of offense
in it, and Herbert is gonna have a huge game.
I can't tell you that the addition of what Johnston's
gonna beat at this offense, he'll be the number one
receiver there in a year. But right now you have
a lot of guys to get the football. You have
Austin Eckler in a prove it type year. They've been

(15:56):
looking for a game like this. They know this is
their year to take over EL. With the Rams set
for a season that's just going to be most likely awful,
could be getting towards a tankathon for Caleb Williams. They
will have a big game Sunday, justin Herbert most yards
passing week one of the NFL seams.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Look at you. I like the boldness of that proclamation.
As I look at the board, A couple of things
that stand out, but one is that a rookie will
announces arrival. Look, the over undering the game is only
thirty nine and a half. But this is where Bjeon
Robinson gets to run amok, all right, Carolina, dealing with
the Burns issue of his contract, I mean, of all

(16:37):
the because they're not expecting them to contend. People seem
to have forgotten that that's been an issue where he said, yeah,
I'm not here. I was here and I was with
you until I'm not. So we'll see what the defense
brings to bear. But looking for the Atlanta Falcons to
get that run game going once again and Bjhon Robinson
to announce his presence with authority.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
I hope so, oh, I hope so I got Bejon
Robinson in a couple of leagues. I'm hoping so for that.
My fingers crossed on that one. Now let's get to
a game, because I mean, I'm really interested in your
take after I tell you, yeah, there's there's gonna be
a lot of offense in that game, right, a lot
of offense and Chargers Dolphins. I get it. The game

(17:18):
with the most points this week, the NFL game with
the most points this week, Packers Bears were points Packers Bears.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
Over under on that is forty two, and I think
that's people trying to prop it up city, A big
shoulders and.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
All those things. I will go way over. The Bears
do so much this offseason to jumpstart their offense. They've
been waiting to unveil this. Hey, We're not just give
the ball to Justin Fields fifteen times a game and
finished with the number one overall pick. They've brought in
some weapons. He and DJ Moore got on the same
page pretty quickly. I love Khalil Herbert. I know that

(17:56):
ohlways a good no. Herbert's gonna be the guy. They're
gonna score lot of points. It's a new offense out there,
and the same thing for the Packers, right. They've been
waiting to unveil this offense for a while. They've wanted
to move on from Aaron Rodgers. Jordan Love has played
well enough in the preseason. They're gonna score a lot.
It's gonna be a new day, new day, new offense.
Knew everything, and this is gonna be an absolute shootout.

(18:18):
Most points this week. Bears and the Packers book it,
and there's gonna be a lot of points. The Dolphins
and the Chargers trust me, but most points in a
game this weeks. See, I'm gonna go drift down.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
I'm gonna grab a third game, the one hundredth to
his story.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
No, no, wait a minute, but you can't do it.
I just blow past the Bears like that, and you're
just like you gotta give, gotta give me your bears,
gonna give you your bears. Take here. I don't want
to just buy the Bears. Okay, I'll go right to it.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Defensively, they've been awful for a long time. To think
that it turns around immediately, I'm not buying it. And
just because you know Aaron Rodgers left town, you know
what he did.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
He would be queathed his kingdom to Jordan Love.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Now, Christian Watson's not gonna be able to go, but
Dobbs is available. You drafted a wide receiver to come
in and make plays right away. You've got the two
headed monster in the backfield, and oh yeah, that defense
still pretty good. Do I believe justin field would be better? Hell,
he can't be any worse. What did they average?

Speaker 1 (19:19):
One hundred thirty one passing yards a game?

Speaker 3 (19:21):
It's got to be better than that with DJ Moore
in the fold, no question about it. But suddenly think
that they're getting ready to roll, and this is going
to be some walkover situation. I got the Packers winning
this game. It's low scoring, it's twenty three to twenty your.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Final we get to the over. Just bad the Bears
defense stakes, they're gonna Packers are gonna score more points
than that. Then they're gonna score more points.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
They changed out a lot of personnel and they've been
bad for a long time. You know, we were talking
to Khalil Mack and getting excited about him before. That's great,
he ain't there anymore. So trying to see if they
surmounted any kind of consistent pressure. Yeah, this is a
long slog slug fest with a not a lot of

(20:04):
big plays and the point total is pushed down.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
All right, I'm not a believer. I'm tell Justin Field
watch him and just and Jordan love Light that there's
gonna be a lot of points in this game, tons
of points for my entertainment purposes.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
When I'm down on a bet the Bear's bar and
her most beach, that'll work just beautifully because people will
be yipping it up and the booze will be flowing.
Come on out if you're wanting to go take a
walk on the strand. I'll buy your first couple of rounds.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
But that's very nice, Thank you, buddy. That's good Brazilian food.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
So what were you saying that for people to come
down to see you with that too? I was really
saying that to you as my friend. Frostbur's got other
things to do. If he wants to make the drive
up to the beach, I'd be happy to find something
on the menu that will appease him.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
No, No, T will tell you here's why it's so
unhealthy to actually go to the beach. Every time you
step on sand, Mike, do you know you step on sand?
You decrease your lifespan by a month every time you
take a step on That's what it does to you.
That's not I won't step on sand.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
That's really kind of escalated quickly to where now I mean, look,
you're gonna get some tar on your feet.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
That might not help. No, that's that's a that always
makes a trip to the beach so terrible because you
invariably you step on tar and you gotta sit there forever. No,
I gotta go through the whole time I'm here with
tar on my I can't put my shoes on. I
gotta walk barefoot, then I gotta get it. That's that's that.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
That's what are you saying?

Speaker 1 (21:34):
On your foot? Tar? When do you get tar on
your foot going to the beach?

Speaker 4 (21:37):
Get tar on the feet to the beach.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
You lots of time, dude, Try to trust me, Go
walk on the beach something. You're not gonna go all
the way down pass to Pallas Verdes, et cetera. Yeah,
oh yeah, tar on your feet.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
I don't know what beach you're going to.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Lots of beaches, lots of beaches anyway. So the offer stands.
If you find your way down there, I got you, uh,
fewest points in a game, and a game that's gonna
be the first watch the Sewest points in the game,
slash the toughest, watch the game you're gonna watch and go. Man,
there's just not a lot of fun in this game, okay,

(22:12):
Rams Seahawks, Oh, the Seahawks could have some fun, though
not a lot of fun. No, it doesn't whatever team
the Seahawks game they play is six three at half times,
it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, and it's not gonna
get any better in the second half. You're talking about
the Rams will be without Cooper Cup. This is a
Seahawks team trying to figure out year two. And I

(22:33):
get it. You know, they have some really good players
on offense, Jackson Smith, Dijigba looks like he's going to
play and he's he's gonna be a big star in
the league. But this is still a team where they're
gonna figure things out. Who's gonna be the big running back?
Is gonna be Walker? Will it be Sharpenay. It's still
a pretty good defense that the Rams have yet not
a lot of points in this game. It's it's gonna
be it's gonna be a tough watch. It's gonna be

(22:54):
a tough one.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Well, you know what, in terms of the the spreads
and everything, the lowest total on the board sitting down
at thirty eight points, and I got him feeling that
one of the uh, that's gonna be a common occurrence
week to week. The Cardinals are getting a full touchdown
Washington and Sam Sam Sam Howell sabled by a touchdown there,

(23:17):
thirty eight is your total?

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Thirty eight? Come on, man? Yeah, no, no, No one
believes in the commanders at all, no, nobly at all
for anything.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Well, they are a touchdown favorite, though, but they might
have to score the bulk of the thirty eight. Maybe
Josh Josh Dobbs is gonna be interesting out there.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Hey, maybe Josh Dobbs mayubbs. Here's Kurt Warner sliding back in.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
You've seen those ads with EMMITTT Smith and Dan Marino
and everybody getting back on the field. They might actually
call Kurt Warner to come down there and get slinging around.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Dude, if Clayton Tune winds up starting this game, and
I'm hoping against hope that maybe what the Cardinals are doing.
It's just, hey, we're making you prepare for two quarterbacks
even though you we're probably gonna if they start him.
You know two things that the tank for Caleb Williams
is completely on, and two we're not gonna see Kyler
Murray all year, Like what like, what why would you

(24:14):
bring back Kyler Murray If you're saying we're gonna start
a guy that's been that nobody even knows who he
has been with the team for eight hours, We're and
we're really gonna say, oh yeah, we're trying to win.
We're trying to win games and stay in it until
we can get Kyler Murray back. No, not happening.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
You know.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Two, you know the tank is completely on and two
we're not seeing Kyler Murray all year. Not all year.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
I've already said he's gonna be in bubble wrap and
just sitting and watching.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Just watch, just watch. It's gonna be I mean the
talk you're talking about a tough watch. That Cardinals team
is gonna be a tough watch man. Who that's gonna
be tough? Uh? Twitter and out about a fresco Mike

It's Steve de Sager, or is it Ai? Steve to
say what's trending in the wide world of sports? I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
We got two late games.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
AI. You know, no, no, wait, wait wait AI, you
don't talk like a robot and you actually.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
Sound like that actually is a robot though.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah, but but you know you sound like yourself, you don't,
you don't talk like.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
No, you know, it's Steve.

Speaker 5 (25:47):
They put it, they put AI like on those automated
phone messages, you know, but eventually you know it's not
a person, right right, Well.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
But that's the whole part about AI is you're not
You're supposed not be able to tell. Yeah, let's just
say it. Still, this is not a movie in the
nineteen sixties. It says, how do we imagine robots will
speak in the future? And it's dad, wasn't it girl? Robot? Oh? Yeah,
Small Wonder Baby, let's go wait wait, she was a
robot in Small Wonder. VICKI Snyler that really, I thought

(26:21):
it was just a regular TV show with a cute kid.
I didn't know she was a robot. I might have
watched it then if I knew.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
That sall the hamburgers were in your way.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah, it's just like me not knowing what Charcoonerie was
until I was later in life, until you got to
learn it was until I was thirty to figure out
what proshudo was. I can't believe that.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Now you can't live without it. No, you have some
in your bag right now.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
I love pudo. Hey, competitive eating. If there was a
prosudo competitive eating, yeah, no, I you don't think there
is for purshudo. Let me see bag competitive and they.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Put the feed bag like you're a horse eating dum.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yeah okay, then Noel, there's.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Smith just keeping it in his pockets without a napkin around.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
There's preshudo fest, but I think that's just a celebration
of proshudo. I don't think there's an actual record.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
You never know what those fests. They tend to have
contests or games. Wait, did you say prashuddo vest or
fast Yeah, that'll be.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
To meet like your lady Gaga. I'm wearing a.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
No no, no, no, no, I mean you wouldn't wear
one Smith?

Speaker 1 (27:25):
No, oh, for sure. No, I would eat it. It
would I wouldn't forget it. I wouldn't. I wouldn't get
there in time.

That's so twenty twenty one. That is so twenty twenty one,
Fox Sports Radio, The Chase and Smith's Show with my
best friend Mike Harmon. All right, so before we get
to hey, couple of potentially good long shot bets to
make the NFL playoffs, we got into this whole competitive
eating thing a few minutes ago. The record for most

(28:04):
the competitive eating record for mayonnaise in an eight minute span, okay,
eight minute span. Give me the answer in pounds. How
many pounds of mayonnaise was eaten by old leg Jornatiski
to set the record, the world record that still stands.
How many mayonnaise in eight minutes?

Speaker 3 (28:26):
I said, nine and a half pounds, nine and a
half pounds. Hell, he's worth of man, he ate your
baby Frostburg.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
How many pounds?

Speaker 4 (28:38):
Eighty six grams?

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Eighty six?

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Now, what what are we measuring now is Frostburg. You
changed the composition.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
I feel like Frostbur's got one of those scales in
front of him and he's just moving stuff on up
and down.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Dude, you want some mail, man, I was wondering why
you were growing that one fingernail out.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Oh hey, hey, hey, allegedly allig alligendly. All right, well
it's a measuring spoon. Come on, all right, all right,
so eighty six grand a tight shirt? How ma, do
you have? How many pounds of mayonnaise?

Speaker 4 (29:13):
What's the over under at there's no.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Overrun there, It's just it's just a random question. So
you're just trying to think of how much mayonnaise can someone.
I mean, we used to pay guys, you know, we'd
color it and then they'd eat it, and then they'd
start puking up the rainbow.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
So that was cool. I say, doll, how many pounds
in eight minutes?

Speaker 4 (29:31):
One dollar?

Speaker 1 (29:32):
No, you don't bet?

Speaker 4 (29:34):
Yeah, a dollar?

Speaker 1 (29:35):
You know I should have just said what the record was.
We wouldn't have to deal with this, oh the record?

Speaker 4 (29:41):
So like pound wise, no, I'm gonna say ten pounds.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Ten pounds, okay, very good, nine and a half, ten pounds,
all right, uh, does the sager have a guess?

Speaker 4 (29:51):
Is it a jar?

Speaker 1 (29:52):
One pound? Usually a jar of mad Yeah, jar of
mayonnaise is usually one pounds. Oh is it okay? So
like two and a half two and a half the record,
I'm afraid.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
It's gonna be ten, Jason, just tell us how much.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
You ate for? Hey, I do I do sprinkle my
mayonnaise liberally on a sandwich. I'll go in and I'll
go into subway, or I'll just some juji mics. I'll go, hey, yeah,
a little bit more, a little bit more there. Don't
give me just the one uh woo? And now give
me a couple of give me a couple of back
one mayo where they started the one side and they

(30:27):
just squeeze it down and bring it, bring it through
the sandwich once. I'm like, no, that's not enough. That's
just the bread is gonna soak that up? Good? Give
me at least an up and back right up the
sandwich and back the sandwich with mayo on it.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
Do you have a technique name?

Speaker 1 (30:39):
The record is, well, it's up and uppen back. Give
me the up and back, give me up and back,
not just up, give me up and back up. And
back on mayonnaise, up and back.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
You should reach out to subway the record.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
It is up and back. And sometimes if they put
it on and I don't feel like they put it up,
Hey can I get some creamy serachi too? Because I
need something? You gotta you know, you gotta gotta juice that.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
Stop.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Nothing Nothing worse than a than a dry sandwich. Not
you gotta make sure you should run the corporate kitchen.
I should.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
This has got to go out to all the affiliates.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Nothing better than the up and back. The record for
most amount of mayonnaise?

Speaker 4 (31:15):
Did you do this on a Sunday?

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Is not? Well? Actually was a Saturday. I need a
Sunday to recuperate.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
Brought to you buy open backs.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
The record is eight pounds. Really the hopits four thirty
two ounce bowls of mayonnaise. I was close. Four thirty
two ounce bowls of mayo by the Ole Legs.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
By the late Ole Legs or no, no, no, no
no no.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
I think he's content. He was breaking news there that
he is. The dude is thirty six years old, he's
from Brooklyn.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
Age doesn't matter in those contests.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
All these people are, all these record holders are alive. Okay,
they're all alive. They're all alive.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
Agedly, there we go, there we go.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
They may have lost their souls, arteries are dead. Hey,
what's your cholesterol tests? Like, Oh, you don't want to
take one? Then?

Speaker 3 (32:07):
No? No, no, no no no no.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
All right. So we talked about the Cardinals few minutes
ago and potentially if they're tanking, starting Clayton toon a
quarter marching to a different tune, TJ. But Arizona's got
the longest odds to make the NFL playoffs at plus
eleven hundred of the bottom ten teams. The teams I
wouldn't mind taking a flyer on, but maybe, hey, maybe

(32:31):
things work out. They go nine to eight and they
find a way into the playoffs. The two teams I'll
give you both have the same things in common. They
have They have a lot of unknowns because they can't
go with a team that, hey, I know coming in
they're gonna be bad, Like all of a sudden, so
and so is not going to find the fountain of youth.
It's just not going to work. But a couple of
teams where you don't know how some rookie or second

(32:52):
year quarterbacks are going to respond, that's your best bet.
So if I had to, if I had to take
a bottom ten team, a bottom ten team it'say to playoffs,
would take either Indianapolis or Washington. Yes, okay, maybe Anthony
Richardson is great, Maybe Sam Howell is great. Right, Indianapolis,
the Colts don't play in a great division. He's got
a lot of weapons at wide receiver. Maybe they can.

(33:14):
They can squeak it out. Same thing with Washington. Right,
their defense is okay, they have some weapons. Sam Howel's
a pretty good quarterback. If it works out, I can
see that. So if I'm gonna risk and say, hey,
who are two teams that likely aren't gonna make it
bottom ten? Give me Colts and give me the commanders.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
Ready, because I like to confuse and confound you the
New England Patriots, Bill O'Brien getting the offense rolling. The
Jets are gonna suck and Dolphins are.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
He'll trade back Jones by week four. He'll convince it done.
He'll convince Belichick to trade back Jones. Trust me.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
Edward Christimpson, Well he's hurt, but he won't be Uh.
I'm sorry he was sick, but he'll be ready for
Week one. I'm gonna look at the Tennessee Titans. Right,
we've gone down the path of talking about how great
the jag Wars should be, and yeah, last year should
be a great springboard to what they have. Adding Calvin
Ridley h and Tank Bigsby. I just like saying his name. Well,

(34:11):
it's not Clayton Bigsby, you know Chapelle's, but Biggses Do
you get Bigsby in?

Speaker 1 (34:18):
But the idea for Tennessee?

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Right, you bring in DeAndre Hopkins, Tannehill serviceable, not great,
but not terrible, and then Derek Henry still can run
people over. I play some defense, so I still have
opportunity for them to get in.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
So there you go. There's some potential long odd teams
to make the playoffs. What about big time upset specials
for a Week one in the NFL? That's next right here,
big NFL week What preview bills?

Speaker 4 (34:42):
Can I get an up and back
