(00:49):
get to the big breaking story in the NFL coming
up in a couple of minutes. Because a certain someone
is going to a game on Sunday. Might yeah, see
the Chargers. Hartman's going to the Charger game. No, but
this is one of those Jason Stark. Baseball's been played
for one hundred and twenty years and I've never seen
(01:09):
anything like this before. Moment that we get a handful
of times every single year. There are big games in
Major League Baseball. And there's what's going on right now
between the Astros and the.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Mariners and cheating Astros.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yes, sorry, the cheating Astros and the Mariners. Right now,
the Mariners are a half game back of the Astros
for the final wildcard spot. We're coming into the final
weekend of the season. You get down by a game,
a game and a two games, and you're kind of cooked.
Just ask the reds Now who suddenly are two games
back in the lost column with three to play. It
doesn't like they're gonna make the playoffs this year. This
is a huge game because the Mariners would be in
(01:44):
sole possession of the third and last wildcard spot. My Mariners,
who I picked to go to the World Series this
year with a win. With a loss, they are a
game and a half back of Houston in the final
spot again going into the final weekend. So this is
a must win really for both the which much more
must win for the Mariners. It's the middle of the
seventh inning right now. Houston just put up another run.
(02:06):
They lead the Mariners seven to three. Now, what's the moment,
bottom of the sixth inning, Houston's up four to three
and Julio Rodriguez is up with a runner on first
and two outs, and Hector Neris is pitching for the Astros.
Maybe you know who he is, maybe you don't, It
doesn't matter. Nears strikes out Rodriguez to end the inning.
And I've never seen this before. I've never seen a
(02:29):
guy strike out another batter and then start yelling and
screaming and walking towards him and trying to get in
his face. I've never seen that. I've seen plenty of time, sure,
a pitcher strike out a batter and then yelling as
he goes off the mound. And maybe there's some kind
of back and forth because the pictures the batter sees it.
I've seen pictures strike out guys at the end of
(02:49):
an inning and start screaming into their glove. There's a
big coal Hamil sing screaming into his glove, leaving the
field because he's psyched up but doesn't want to show
up a batter. But I've never seen a pitcher strike
out a guy and then go walking towards him, pointing
his finger and getting in his face. I've never seen that.
The dugouts empty. Of course, I don't know how Rodriguez
didn't walk up to and go, dude, you want a
(03:10):
piece of me. I mean, well, there is kind of
a big dude, but so is early Rodriguez. But this
just it took me so by surprise. I'm like, this
actually happened, and I'm wide. Every time I've seen this,
I go, I can't believe this. I can't believe he's
truck out a guy. And then Red got Yeah. I
watched it a couple of times.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
The fun little exchange here, right, obviously makes a nice
pitch on Rodriguez to get him to go, and finishes
the inning off. And as everything's starting to flow and
the change all right, the next half inning, let's get
it on, he just starts stalking towards home Blade.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
He goes straight. He's to go towards Home Blake. He
goes straight at Rodriguez. He goes straight at him, like
you know, now we're gonna fight, like.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Now, right, So he's talking smack and all the notices
are right, Dominican Republic, teammate and friends and sharing agent
and all this other stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Like none of that matters.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Clearly, they were round about to get to a full
WWE inspired brawl. Now you talk about jawn I, guys, man,
we still have Roger Clemons throwing shards of a bat
and Mike Piazzas, so I mean we got that for
us take things to a whole other level. But yeah,
this was really kind of intense. The bullpen cleared and everything.
(04:27):
It's like commerheads prevailed, but one of those. All right,
we talk about the gravity and weight of a moment.
I was waiting to see if our guy, John palm
Rosi was suddenly gonna be in the middle of it
all part of the broadcast tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So yeah, big moment. Look at that energy over just flowing.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It really is amazing. I mean, I've never and I
don't know if there's any kind and I don't know
off the top of my head, is any kind of
bad blood between the two. Obviously this is a very big,
intense series. But I don't recall this season anything with
Rod Regaez and Narrits and and guys getting thrown at
each other. I don't recall any moment like that. I mean,
maybe something from years ago. We're gonna find out tomorrow.
(05:07):
Here's something from the twenty eighteen, you know, from twenty
eighteen minor leagues, or you know when when Jay Rod
was an a ball. I mean, I don't know if
we're gonna get something like that, but I don't think
it's anything more just yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Zero history between these two. It's just an Astro being
a dang jerk shocker. I had my finger on the plunger.
I was ready shocker guys, and Astros being a jerk.
He walked right up into the edge there, so that
was good.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Man, So this game is seven to three, uh with
going to the bottom of the seventh inning, and it
really is getting way late for my maritors. I feel bad.
I cursed him beginning of the season by saying they're
going to the World Series and Rodriguez is gonna be
the MVP, and they stumbled out of the gate and
then they finally caught fire. But I guess that's my fault,
(05:57):
and I was hoping they're gonna back me up, and
now it looks like you gotta get the last three
innings to try to keep this thing, this train moving.
I don't know that's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Yeah, Ulelo Rodriguez's numbers for the year are gonna be
one of the more deceiving that you'll ever see in
Major League baseball.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Look at the year he had, Like he did most
of that damage in two months.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Right, he was crazy for six to eight weeks and
put up some ridiculous numbers.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
But what was funny was nears.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
After everybody got onto the field and you've got everybody
meeting in between home plate and the pitcher's mound, he
went back into the dugout, put his glove away, got
a couple of high fives from the clubhouse guys and
the guys that were still on the bench, and then
went back out.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And kept chirping at Rodrigue.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Well, like I said, teammates for the dr and share
an agent and whatever. But in this look, you still
want to beat your friend, right, if you're on the field,
we'll talk about it all the time.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
You can be buddies, of course.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
You know how many times do folks get all upsets, like, ah,
they don't go after you.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, the elbows start flying once the actual games.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
And then he got to the dugout and saying, sugarman.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Twitter it up about a Fresco Mike get swollen dome.
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carbon
live the tirag dot com Studios. We'll keep you updated
on this game again. Going to the bottom of the
seventh Mariners need a whole heck of a lot of
help if they're gonna win this one. But in the NFL,
we found out something today that is going to change
(07:31):
the week again. Taylor Swift is coming to the Jets
Chiefs on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Yes, one week after
she decided to tell everybody, Hey, I'm more popular than
the NFL. Just watch she shows up at the Chiefs game.
She and Travis Kelce in an apparent relationship, and now
she's going to go watch him play Sunday night in
(07:54):
MetLife Stadium. Jordan Schultz friend of the show with that scoop,
and I gotta be honest. Next time we have Jordan Schultz,
I gots, dude, how did you get the scoop? Like,
how did you get how did how did you get
the Taylor Swift school other stuff? I get? How did
you get the Taylor Swift scoop? But he's got the scoop.
Taylor Swift is coming to the game on Sunday, And
this is both great and awful news for the Jets.
(08:15):
It's awful news for the Jets because now even more
people are going to watch this game that the Chiefs
are gonna win by one hundred. But the good news
is people are going to be so preoccupied with Taylor
Swift they might not care the Jets lose. So it's okay.
The Jets can lose an obscurity for one week at
least and not have it be. Hey, Zach Wilson, stink
is gonna be? Who was it the play quarterback? For that?
I even forget because Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
They showed her after every single play in Woodie.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Johnson's box at the stadium.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Look how great this was. You're so excited, god like,
so much over the top.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I don't even know Taylor Swift songs and Spotify or anything?
Is you really don't about it? Well, no, Zoe has
a lot of im Zoey loves Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
And who bought them? You?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
But sure?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Well okay, well but I bought them for her.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Yeah, I have my Apple Music subscription, so it's it's
all downloaded, and I walk around and walk the dog
and and maybe every now and again we're singing.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Along and and and you know, going through the process.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
But yeah, because Harmon's bad Blood the Bear.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
So we check out these albums I got that's just great.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Look she did us as solid the Bears. Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
And in Chicago, people were more interested in talking about
what transpired with her in the Kelsey luxury box and
hanging out with mom and clean it up and uh,
lip reading and trying to figure out what conversations were
and it's like, all right, can you see it here?
It's like that episode of Seinfeld. It's like, can you
can you tell me what they're saying on the other
(09:50):
side of the room.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Sure, I'll do it.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
And then you get after it.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
So trying to figure all that out more so than what,
what and how you you might be able to fix
this disastrous train wreck of a season. Fortunately for you,
she's now gonna do some of that charity work for
the Jets, so people will be more concerned about her
her entrance, her exit. Did she leave through a popcorn
(10:17):
dispenser like they alleged dry because she was.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Coming in and out of the stadium right in there.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
In the trash calling and everything else.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
So you got that.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
But it's now the curiosity of can you overshadow Zach
Wilson and Joe NAMA's comments, And Aaron Rodgers will show
up and maybe they'll mic him up and he'll have
some comments on the play, and we'll see how comfortable
the Sunday Night crew is getting after it with all
the Taylor Swift puns and whatever. Probably with the extra prep,
(10:50):
maybe a little better and seamless transition into those from
game analysis than we saw this last week.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
But yeah, look, it's good for business.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
It's good for their business, it's good for everybody more eyeballs.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah, And I.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Like to think that this puts to bed the debate
of oh, this is a stunt, this is a publicity stunt.
It's got it's got to put it to bed, first
of all, for when I hear that the last couple
of days ago, are you kidding? Is it just? No?
It can't be a publicity stunt because Taylor Swift's very easy.
Taylor Swift is not getting anything out of it. That'slicity stunt.
(11:26):
What's she getting out of this? Tell me? What's Travis
Kelson talking about her?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Non stop?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The pause? She's the biggest star in the one.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You can always get a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
She's gonna okay, and I will say to you, she's
gonna put her her private life, which she gives us.
She lives a very public life, but she keeps what
she wants to be private private. She's gonna put out
there a potential relationship that with Travis Kelson. Who knows
what that's going to pretend. She's gonna put that. She's
gonna put that out there as just some kind of
stunt just because why she's the She's the most famous
(12:00):
a singer in the world, most famous female entertainer in
the world. She doesn't need anything. He's not giving her anything.
So that's why at this point, after she went to
a game, she went to the game, she sat with
his mom, they left the game together. She's going to
the game again. This is not just oh, she's doing
this as a stunt because she's not got anything out
of it. She's not going to get a new audience.
(12:21):
Oh I gotta sell more out. She's not gonna put
her in. She's not She's not gonna put herself a
risk for just for all, Am I going to get
more streams? Really? Again, she's just at this point right.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
But she's been seen out and about all over the play,
but nobody's supproved her film clips. Have you seen she's
out to dinner with her friend. Look in her brain,
she's calculating she's the next song that she's writing.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Whatever. Yeah, she's having fun. I'm not saying it's just
a one hundred.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
She's having fun and this could be a relationship. That's
what you do.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
But I'm not gonna say categorically she's getting She's getting nothing.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Out of this. If she she could be dating anybody,
and it would be. But the fact that she's gone
this far with Travis Kelcey, this is not a publicity stunt.
This is not her helping him out. Stars help each
other out with a tweet or or you're saying something
on social media. That's how you help somebody out. Travis
kelceys seeing all kinds of stuff blow up for him
and good for him. You know, all the memorabilia going
(13:22):
on that people are getting for him, that's awesome. The
only thing she's getting out of this is a relationship,
which is great, which is probably probably what this is.
It's a new relationship. She's the biggest star in the world,
She's very protective of her image and what people say
about her. So she makes public what she wants to
make public. Right now, I thought it was great that
she let Lucid yelp let Evan God and that she
(13:44):
knew that was no. That's all calculating me right now.
So what she puts out there. So what she puts
out there is something that she wants to put out there,
and she's not gonna put out there a fake relationship.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
She's not gonna put out a public because there's.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
No gain for her for it to be a publicity
st if at the end it's ablicity stunt. We'll find
out and gets who's gonna look bad? She is. She's
not gonna do that. There's no win for other than
I like this guy and we're having fun and maybe
there's a relationship. That's what win win.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Maybe a little bit of friendship and hanging out and
meeting the people.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
The Jason Smith Show with My Best Friend Mike Harmon
Live from the tire Rack dot Com Studios looks like
the Astro is gonna push that bulge to a game
and a half over the Mariners for the final playoff
spot in the American League, as they lead the Mariners
now eight to three in the bottom of the Apes.
But boy, that Hector narrow school here Rodriguez thing from
(14:45):
a few minutes ago. Can't wait to see what said
after the game on that. That's gonna be pretty fun.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Fire works every night until the end of the season.
That's all I want. Kiss what we're getting.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
White Sox tried to do their part to screw the
Cubs by losing three nothing at home to the Diamondbacks today,
and the Cubs went and lost. But you know, still
some opportunity there the wild card, making things interesting in
the final week. So that's good, good for baseball and
good for us.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
So let's take a look at Thursday night football tomorrow
between the Lions and the Packers. Right, this is gonna
be you know, unlike looking at last week. Hey, we
got the Giants in the foot. No, that's gonna be
a terrible game. This is gonna be a great game,
all right. I know, the interdivisional games on a Thursday night.
We've talked about it for years and people are actually
telling you know, I don't like the interdivisional games on
(15:34):
a Thursday night. Oh okay, So in this case it's
today's takes like six years before, but this is kind
of how it goes, right, And I get that you
have to put the interdivisional games on Thursday because if
you're not giving teams a long time to prepare, you
want to at least give them teams that they are
somewhat familiar with, so it makes preparation for the game easy.
I get it, I understand. But there's interdivisional games and
(15:55):
then there's Jags Titans, right, I mean, so you got
to make sure you get a good one. This is
a good one, and it stinks from the perspective of
both teams are dealing with huge injury issues right here.
Thinking Montgomery may come back for the Lions, maybe not.
Aaron Jones is out for the Packers, Bactiari is out
for the Packers. You're talking about some big dominoes on
(16:17):
the offensive side of the football that are going to
be out for both of these teams. So I'm saying
take the under on this game.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That's the first thing I'm gonna.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Tell you sitting at forty six.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Sloppy Thursday night, Take the under.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Take the under Lions one and a half point favorites.
Jones may play. He and Christian Watson, so you know
one of those. If you're in a fantasy league, you're
waiting till the final.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Minutes when I see this game, and you know, this
is not because I picked the Lions to go to
the super Bowl. This is not because I picked a line,
not because I picked them, not because the lines of
the Super Bowl. But they should be undefeated and they're
not worry about Green Bay's injuries more in this game
(17:03):
than I do for the Lions, because the Packers can't
run the football right. Not having Aaron Jones is a
huge deal. AJ Dillon has been brutal so far. How
many fantasy owners were so excited going oh Man Jones out,
but now aj Dillon. I got AJ Dillon the thirteen
pround to get the backfield all to himself, and it's
like he's given me four point three fantasy points the
last couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
What if you ran him and Joshua Kelly out together
the last couple of weeks, you know who you're looking at.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
This guy.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Oh I'm sorry, buddy, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
About Seed and proceed.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
He you may as well play Ladanian Tomlinson probably get
the same number of points. At least then you'll look
like you're playing Ladanian Tomlinson. So that'll be fun. But
I worry more about the Packers here because they have
a little bit more difficulty keeping it going on offense.
Detroit's gonna make Jordan Love beat them. And as good
as Jordan Love has been the first three weeks, he
has been really, really good. I don't think that's gonna
(18:01):
be enough. They're gonna make them one dimensional, and the
Lions have enough firepower to be able to overcome this.
I think it's gonna be a big night from Jamiir
Gibbs and Sam Laporta, who has become the rookie tight end, right,
all all the talk.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah we got Michael Mayer is great, and I'll be like,
oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Sam Laporta, Hey, Sam Laporte has been pretty good, Biby,
there's a big hole in that in that lineup now,
you know, waiting for Jamis and Williams to come back. Look,
I'm on Ross Saint Brown is terrific, but you have
Josh Reynolds didn't even get a target last week after
he after he got like nine passes the week before.
But Laporta has been pretty good and he's someone that's
earned Jared Goff's trust really quickly. Detroit's offense is gonna
(18:41):
be a little too much for a slightly overmatched Packers defense.
I'll take Detroit twenty four to twenty just coming in
in that under there, under forty six and a half.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Look at you.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I'm gonna go twenty seven to seventeen Packers, that they
coax a Jared Goff mistake or two, and that they
handle mister Gibbs, who's been okay thus far in the
run game. Montgomery obviously, you know, hated seeing him leave Chicago.
He's really glad he got out. He's like, cheeze, yeah,
(19:15):
well I got out. But now you look at this
Lions offense, Saint Brown's just a beast. Still trying to
figure out the rest of it. Laporta, if you listen
to our Ninjas on the podcast at the iWatch Flex
podcast last week, we talked about him a bunch, so
getting ahead of the curve just like we do here
Monday through Friday night, and finding that extra safety valve.
(19:39):
And look, the Lions are set up for great success.
This is a good one at Lambeau this early in
the season, So I'll take the home dog here on
the short week. I don't think he's necessarily aesthetically pleasing
for chunks of this game, because I don't think either
team's gonna run the ball very well.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Oh, you're just a Lions hater. Here's a lie. You're
just a Lions hater man.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Really, I'm picking the Packers in.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
The copies the greatness of the lines. No, look, I
hear you on greatness of them. I hear you on Gibbs.
He has not been the overall breakout like honestly, what
it is, he hasn't. He hasn't caught any passes that
I thought he would. I thought by now he'd have
a couple of big, long passes, a couple of games
where hey, he's got forty yards rushing because Montgomery was
clearly the bell cow before he got hurt. But Gibbs
(20:24):
is gonna make up for it. He'll have fifty sixty
yards receiving a couple of big passes. They get the
ball out in the open. That's kind of what he
does and uses speed. That's where I've really expected Gibbs
to be better, but he hasn't. But tomorrow is gonna
be the breakout game. They're gonna they gotta they know,
they got to get him the ball in space. They
gotta let him do his thing. Tomorrow be the breakout
game for Jamiir Gibbs.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Look at you, he had his seven catches against the
Seahawks when he rushed seven times for seventeen yards, and look,
he's a guy that there there's a lot of hope,
UH pinned on him being that breakout guy. Just remember
rookie running backs sometimes they find their way off the
field because they can't pass, block for anything. Right, So
(21:04):
you have a little of that that comes into play
as well in terms of being able to keep yourself
on the field for some of those passing situations to
be able to leak out of the backfield. But it'll
be it's truly an interesting matchup, right, We've got the
Bears will clearly finish last. We don't know what the
vikings become or whether a giant selloff happens. So here
(21:29):
are your teams that we're going to be battling and
it's good to see folks really do a one to
eighty on the Packers pretty quickly, because everybody pulled out
the shovels and buried them as soon as Aaron Rodgers
became a jet And in between coaching the team from Malibu, boy,
you see how much suck it up to Jordan love
he does, how much he loves him to stick it
(21:49):
to packers' brass every chance he can just say, Yah,
you really got a good one there, you know. I
I love that guy what he's doing for you, and
just waving at him.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
It's kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
So I tell you, Aaron Rodgers coaching from Malibi, he's
gonna be a head coach the NFL.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Maybe more motivational speaker.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
No, no, no, maybe that's his thing. I told you
he's gonna be a new age head coach and do
things and turn the profession on its ear, like Dion's
doing in Colorado. But differently, maybe he doesn't need to
be at the games. He'll be the head coaching the
far away. I'm gonna live in Malibu and I'm gonna
go on vacation wherever it is, and I'm going to
coach the team. From far away, Like you you've never
seen those commercials when they talk about industry, And I
always think about the terminator when I see stuff like this,
(22:31):
And it's the one where the guy is on the
beach by himself and he's sitting in a beach chair.
It's like sunset and he's moving his arms and you
see like he's got these special gloves on. And then
they they cut to like a robot doing doing an
operation on somebody, Like maybe that's gonna be Aaron Robin,
a coach from Afar. I thought about that when I
say that, because because that's what I want. Where's my doctor?
(22:53):
Oh he's on the beach in Malibu. Uh yeah, but
don't worry this this robot Oscar here is gonna do
your operation. But don't worry. He's only gonna move how
the doctor moves. But remember if a doctor gets hit
by a frisbee, well then Oscar will move as he
gets hit by.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
A fence hit.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
He just caught a tasty wave, right it out. But
we always suggested that. Remember in the end of Phil
Jackson's coaching run was have a monitor and he's just
there via zoom from wherever he is too soon, Mike,
I'm sorry, buddy.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
This story you think is false. You think it's from
the Onion, But no, no, no, this is true.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Is the Onion still a thing? Well?
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeahhhon Still you still get stories now and then made
an onion product. Hey, no, real website falls for onion story.
You know something like that. You still see that. So
the Phillies, who clinched a playoff spot last night, had
a game tonight Citizens Bank Park where they beat the
Pittsburgh Pirates. Okay, that's great, and you know, I think
people want to celebrate, and Phillies fans want to celebrate
(24:04):
as much as they can. Except for one fan who
was denied entry into the Phillies game tonight after he
tried to bring in his emotional support animal. Oh wait
a minute. Usually you see signs that you know, dog's
not allowed, you know, unless you're an emotional support animal.
And you see that all the time, and some people
(24:24):
try to you know, get bid at atle bit and go, oh,
this is my emotional support even though it's not really
it's just my dog, but it's my emotional support animal.
But this fan, whose name is Joey Henny, was denied
entry because he tried to get in with his emotional
support alligator. He tries to come in with an emotional
(24:47):
support alligator, and he was not allowed into the Phillies game.
There's pictures of him trying to get in Citizens Bank
with this alligator. It looks like the alligators about I
don't know, four and a half feet long. And the
alligator's name is Wally, and his his owner says, hey,
Wally loves giving kisses. I mean, come on, man, I'm
not gonna fall for that now. I'm not gonna no.
(25:09):
When Wally turns around and smiles at you and he
turns his nose towards you, he's expecting a kiss. Yeah, no,
not doing it.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Hey, Wally, do something funny. Yeah. We saw this from
Howard Eskin WIP there in Philly. He put that up.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
I was like, come on, and then I like, well, no,
it's Howard Eskin, so it's gotta be legit and everybody
wants their fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I mean no, no, I don't know. Maybe I don't
know enough about alligators, but alligators are okay, Like he
could bring it into a game and there'd be nothing
like the alligator would be okay, like you know, walking
on the cement and sitting in a seat at the bar,
sitting on his lap at the ballpark. I mean, I
don't understand like an alligator. Does an alligator need water?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I don't know. I have a big diet tribe on this,
but it probably wouldn't mean very popular.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
I know what that is.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
But I like that.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I don't know. Would he have a seat, would he
be in the aisle?
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Watch th stup in my alligator? I don't I don't
understand how he's gonna say.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Again, because you can't bring him to dog days at
the park because I mean, that's.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
No there's no barking.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I mean, that's mark in the park. I brought my alligator.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah, there's what happened all the little dogs in your
neighborhood and in this case, you're seating area.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Well, I want to see people. It's my emotional support.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Cheetah.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Watch what happens when I let him go here?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I have an emotional support falcon.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
That alligator could hit fourth for the Mets.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Probably probably takes over for Pete Alonzo probably yeah, yeah, listen, Pete. Sorry,
but the alligator eats a lot less uha.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Forty six home runs at all but future Dodger Pete,
by the way, we.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Just have to throw a couple of things in. And
it's for everything. You know that the you know it's
really it costs a lot less.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Jason's just gonna pretend I never said that. Mike.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Well, I'm trying to come up. I'm trying to go
and freelance and dive off, and you guys just keep
talking and sense. It makes it difficult sometimes. Oh no, no,
but fun of the mets, okay, fun no, I if.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
This worked, If this first of all, I'd like to
see if it worked.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And secondly, and I mean that would open the gate
to all kinds of crazy animals come in the games.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I think it's just wrong.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
So, man, I cringe with the number of people that
have decided it's okay to bring their dogs into the
grocery stores and everything else.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Here's my emotion with it, here's my emotional support. Lion
hang on them, hold on to his bets as I.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Catch your dog can hang out at home for fifteen
minutes while you'll get some groceries, either that or instacart
that stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I haven't fed him yet. I haven't fed him yet.
It's okay.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Here's my emotional support quarterback Zach Wilson.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Is that Aaron Rodgers' new title?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Is that not a coach? Zach brings the alligator out
on the field with him. This is my most port alligator.
It's a good personal protector right there. If I get sacked,
you jump in front and you bite that guy. Make
it look like you're giving him a kiss, and you
bite that guy.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Coming up next, we got more from the biggest NBA
trade of the year. That's next right here. Fox.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
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.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon live from the Tirack dot Com Studios.
Finally it happened. We finally saw the Damian Lillard trade
go down. After years of Willie Woney. Does he want
to leave? Does he?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I mean, my god, no, he's really loyal. He doesn't
want to go anywhere that's.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Been worse than than the I can't think of the
television show with a more of a will they or
won't they that hung over the.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Seasons more than does David Lillard want.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
To get trading? Or does he not? The last few years,
but it finally happened. Damie Lillard goes to the Bucks,
a huge three team deal. He's gonna play alongside Giannis,
Drew Holliday, DeAndre Ayton of players, a couple of draft
picks go to Portland. It's a big deal. The Sons
get use of Nurkic, Grayson Allennsir Little, and Keon Johnson.
(29:08):
Rick Buker loved what the Sons did with the trade.
He joined us earlier in the show. He's less a
fan of the of the the Damian Lillard to the
Bucks side of it. But you know what, this is
a home run for Milwaukee, right Like, Yes, they traded
away some players that had been big with them, and
(29:28):
Drew Holliday didn't want to get Delty wanted. Just yesterday
he said he want I want to retire a Buck. Yeah, dude,
you should have waited one day. Just wait one day
before you say that.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
He tried to speak it into existence.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Yeah yeah, yeah, just like the sales of shoes and
now pull up bars or whatever the hell he's howking
for LaVar ball.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
You know you weren't able to manifest those things.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I'm here, I want to say something. Just wait today.
You can get support guys. And while Drew Holliday clearly
is more than just a support guy, you got a
superstar in Damian Lillard. And the reason this is such
a great deal and why the Bucks go to the
top of the line for me in the Eastern Conference
in overwhelming finals favorites, is that you have seen the
(30:10):
Bucks are a really good regular season team, right. We
know this. They had the title from a couple of
years ago. They're a phenomenal regular season team. Right. They
lose in the first round of the playoffs last year
to the Miami Heat. They get a guy who can close.
They get a guy for winning time, because that's what
the Bucks need. The Bucks need somebody who can take
(30:31):
that shot in the final minutes of a game and
can carry a team when it's just not happening for Giannis,
because if Yanna somehow isn't into the game or he's
taken out of it. The Milwaukee Bucks struggle. Look at
the last possession of their season last year that knocked
them out of the playoffs against the Miami Heat. Giannis
falls down, passes the ball to Chris Middleton. Middleton doesn't
(30:54):
know where to go with the ball, and by the
time he passes to Grayson Allen the clock has hit zero.
Allan shot goes up after the clock is out and
it doesn't go in anyway. That's how the Milwaukee Bucks
season ended, with Gianni's falling down, Middleton waiting too long
to pass, and Grayson Allen shooting after the buzzer. That
needs to be fixed. That needed to be fixed. So
(31:16):
now at the end of games you have somebody that
can get their own shot off, that can be that closer.
That's exactly what the Bucks needed. It's very similar to
the Warriors when they lost to the Cavaliers. Right when
the Cavs came back from down three to one in
the final possessions of the clinching game. Was Steph Curry
unable to get his own shot off, which we've been
(31:37):
telling you for years. He can't do it at the
end of games. It's why it's so hard. Steph Curry
can't get his own shot off. He's too small. Kevin
Love was out there on him other players, and they knew,
we need somebody else. We need someplace else we can
go with the ball at the end of games. So voila,
they go get Kevin Durant. Three more finals, two more championships,
and the Golden State Warriors legacy and dynasty is secure.
(31:57):
So they knew, all right, we need somebody else for
winning time, for the big ones. We're good enough in
the regular season. We need to start for when it matters,
And that's what this is. This is Damian Lillard, who
doesn't need to carry the offense, does need to play
seventy five games, but when it comes time to the playoffs,
this is where we need you to hit one from
the logo. This is where we need you to hit
a big three in the final minute. And they've got
the guy to do it. That's why this is a
(32:18):
home run, because they needed a guy and winning time,
and they got that guy.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Look, you're looking both short and long term with this deal.
Short term, yeah, you're now the favorite. Still some concern
when you start talking about age, injury histories, etc. Outside
of those two players, but it's a work in progress.
This is the big step forward because the long term
is obviously trying to convince Giannis that this could work
(32:44):
and we'll see divin ends right away and both guys
end up re signing.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
And finishing their careers. That's what you're hoping in theory.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Working in quiet while everybody was still looking at Miami
and when can we just get this thing done already
was kind of the sentiment to it. But yeah, to
your point, you know, Holiday leaves and I know Rick was,
you know, less enthused with his departure as one of
those glue guys, right, all the intangibles, and I get
(33:13):
that for sure. The big thing for me is that
the front court needs to stay healthy, right These guys
are in their mid thirties now and still battling, So
can you find another piece out there to for to
fy a little bit? And what I did love is
also when you start talking about trades like opening a
pack of baseball cards now and guys are born in
like two thousand and four, is that you know these
(33:36):
trades are all now for draft considerations.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
In twenty twenty eight and twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Nine, exit out about a Fresca exit swollen down the
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. They
took care of Winning Time. Now look out. I'm ready
for the Bucks next Eastern Conference Finals, Mike, I'm ready
for it tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (33:54):

my subscription service, didn't.

(00:49):
get to the big breaking story in the NFL coming
up in a couple of minutes. Because a certain someone
is going to a game on Sunday. Might yeah, see
the Chargers. Hartman's going to the Charger game. No, but
this is one of those Jason Stark. Baseball's been played
for one hundred and twenty years and I've never seen
(01:09):
anything like this before. Moment that we get a handful
of times every single year. There are big games in
Major League Baseball. And there's what's going on right now
between the Astros and the.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Mariners and cheating Astros.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yes, sorry, the cheating Astros and the Mariners. Right now,
the Mariners are a half game back of the Astros
for the final wildcard spot. We're coming into the final
weekend of the season. You get down by a game,
a game and a two games, and you're kind of cooked.
Just ask the reds Now who suddenly are two games
back in the lost column with three to play. It
doesn't like they're gonna make the playoffs this year. This
is a huge game because the Mariners would be in
(01:44):
sole possession of the third and last wildcard spot. My Mariners,
who I picked to go to the World Series this
year with a win. With a loss, they are a
game and a half back of Houston in the final
spot again going into the final weekend. So this is
a must win really for both the which much more
must win for the Mariners. It's the middle of the
seventh inning right now. Houston just put up another run.
(02:06):
They lead the Mariners seven to three. Now, what's the moment,
bottom of the sixth inning, Houston's up four to three
and Julio Rodriguez is up with a runner on first
and two outs, and Hector Neris is pitching for the Astros.
Maybe you know who he is, maybe you don't, It
doesn't matter. Nears strikes out Rodriguez to end the inning.
And I've never seen this before. I've never seen a
(02:29):
guy strike out another batter and then start yelling and
screaming and walking towards him and trying to get in
his face. I've never seen that. I've seen plenty of time, sure,
a pitcher strike out a batter and then yelling as
he goes off the mound. And maybe there's some kind
of back and forth because the pictures the batter sees it.
I've seen pictures strike out guys at the end of
(02:49):
an inning and start screaming into their glove. There's a
big coal Hamil sing screaming into his glove, leaving the
field because he's psyched up but doesn't want to show
up a batter. But I've never seen a pitcher strike
out a guy and then go walking towards him, pointing
his finger and getting in his face. I've never seen that.
The dugouts empty. Of course, I don't know how Rodriguez
didn't walk up to and go, dude, you want a
(03:10):
piece of me. I mean, well, there is kind of
a big dude, but so is early Rodriguez. But this
just it took me so by surprise. I'm like, this
actually happened, and I'm wide. Every time I've seen this,
I go, I can't believe this. I can't believe he's
truck out a guy. And then Red got Yeah. I
watched it a couple of times.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
The fun little exchange here, right, obviously makes a nice
pitch on Rodriguez to get him to go, and finishes
the inning off. And as everything's starting to flow and
the change all right, the next half inning, let's get
it on, he just starts stalking towards home Blade.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
He goes straight. He's to go towards Home Blake. He
goes straight at Rodriguez. He goes straight at him, like
you know, now we're gonna fight, like.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Now, right, So he's talking smack and all the notices
are right, Dominican Republic, teammate and friends and sharing agent
and all this other stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Like none of that matters.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Clearly, they were round about to get to a full
WWE inspired brawl. Now you talk about jawn I, guys, man,
we still have Roger Clemons throwing shards of a bat
and Mike Piazzas, so I mean we got that for
us take things to a whole other level. But yeah,
this was really kind of intense. The bullpen cleared and everything.
(04:27):
It's like commerheads prevailed, but one of those. All right,
we talk about the gravity and weight of a moment.
I was waiting to see if our guy, John palm
Rosi was suddenly gonna be in the middle of it
all part of the broadcast tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So yeah, big moment. Look at that energy over just flowing.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It really is amazing. I mean, I've never and I
don't know if there's any kind and I don't know
off the top of my head, is any kind of
bad blood between the two. Obviously this is a very big,
intense series. But I don't recall this season anything with
Rod Regaez and Narrits and and guys getting thrown at
each other. I don't recall any moment like that. I mean,
maybe something from years ago. We're gonna find out tomorrow.
(05:07):
Here's something from the twenty eighteen, you know, from twenty
eighteen minor leagues, or you know when when Jay Rod
was an a ball. I mean, I don't know if
we're gonna get something like that, but I don't think
it's anything more just yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Zero history between these two. It's just an Astro being
a dang jerk shocker. I had my finger on the plunger.
I was ready shocker guys, and Astros being a jerk.
He walked right up into the edge there, so that
was good.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Man, So this game is seven to three, uh with
going to the bottom of the seventh inning, and it
really is getting way late for my maritors. I feel bad.
I cursed him beginning of the season by saying they're
going to the World Series and Rodriguez is gonna be
the MVP, and they stumbled out of the gate and
then they finally caught fire. But I guess that's my fault,
(05:57):
and I was hoping they're gonna back me up, and
now it looks like you gotta get the last three
innings to try to keep this thing, this train moving.
I don't know that's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Yeah, Ulelo Rodriguez's numbers for the year are gonna be
one of the more deceiving that you'll ever see in
Major League baseball.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Look at the year he had, Like he did most
of that damage in two months.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Right, he was crazy for six to eight weeks and
put up some ridiculous numbers.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
But what was funny was nears.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
After everybody got onto the field and you've got everybody
meeting in between home plate and the pitcher's mound, he
went back into the dugout, put his glove away, got
a couple of high fives from the clubhouse guys and
the guys that were still on the bench, and then
went back out.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And kept chirping at Rodrigue.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Well, like I said, teammates for the dr and share
an agent and whatever. But in this look, you still
want to beat your friend, right, if you're on the field,
we'll talk about it all the time.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
You can be buddies, of course.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
You know how many times do folks get all upsets, like, ah,
they don't go after you.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, the elbows start flying once the actual games.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
And then he got to the dugout and saying, sugarman.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Twitter it up about a Fresco Mike get swollen dome.
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carbon
live the tirag dot com Studios. We'll keep you updated
on this game again. Going to the bottom of the
seventh Mariners need a whole heck of a lot of
help if they're gonna win this one. But in the NFL,
we found out something today that is going to change
(07:31):
the week again. Taylor Swift is coming to the Jets
Chiefs on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Yes, one week after
she decided to tell everybody, Hey, I'm more popular than
the NFL. Just watch she shows up at the Chiefs game.
She and Travis Kelce in an apparent relationship, and now
she's going to go watch him play Sunday night in
(07:54):
MetLife Stadium. Jordan Schultz friend of the show with that scoop,
and I gotta be honest. Next time we have Jordan Schultz,
I gots, dude, how did you get the scoop? Like,
how did you get how did how did you get
the Taylor Swift school other stuff? I get? How did
you get the Taylor Swift scoop? But he's got the scoop.
Taylor Swift is coming to the game on Sunday, And
this is both great and awful news for the Jets.
(08:15):
It's awful news for the Jets because now even more
people are going to watch this game that the Chiefs
are gonna win by one hundred. But the good news
is people are going to be so preoccupied with Taylor
Swift they might not care the Jets lose. So it's okay.
The Jets can lose an obscurity for one week at
least and not have it be. Hey, Zach Wilson, stink
is gonna be? Who was it the play quarterback? For that?
I even forget because Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
They showed her after every single play in Woodie.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Johnson's box at the stadium.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Look how great this was. You're so excited, god like,
so much over the top.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I don't even know Taylor Swift songs and Spotify or anything?
Is you really don't about it? Well, no, Zoe has
a lot of im Zoey loves Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
And who bought them? You?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
But sure?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Well okay, well but I bought them for her.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Yeah, I have my Apple Music subscription, so it's it's
all downloaded, and I walk around and walk the dog
and and maybe every now and again we're singing.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Along and and and you know, going through the process.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
But yeah, because Harmon's bad Blood the Bear.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
So we check out these albums I got that's just great.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Look she did us as solid the Bears. Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
And in Chicago, people were more interested in talking about
what transpired with her in the Kelsey luxury box and
hanging out with mom and clean it up and uh,
lip reading and trying to figure out what conversations were
and it's like, all right, can you see it here?
It's like that episode of Seinfeld. It's like, can you
can you tell me what they're saying on the other
(09:50):
side of the room.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Sure, I'll do it.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
And then you get after it.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
So trying to figure all that out more so than what,
what and how you you might be able to fix
this disastrous train wreck of a season. Fortunately for you,
she's now gonna do some of that charity work for
the Jets, so people will be more concerned about her
her entrance, her exit. Did she leave through a popcorn
(10:17):
dispenser like they alleged dry because she was.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Coming in and out of the stadium right in there.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
In the trash calling and everything else.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
So you got that.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
But it's now the curiosity of can you overshadow Zach
Wilson and Joe NAMA's comments, And Aaron Rodgers will show
up and maybe they'll mic him up and he'll have
some comments on the play, and we'll see how comfortable
the Sunday Night crew is getting after it with all
the Taylor Swift puns and whatever. Probably with the extra prep,
(10:50):
maybe a little better and seamless transition into those from
game analysis than we saw this last week.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
But yeah, look, it's good for business.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
It's good for their business, it's good for everybody more eyeballs.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah, And I.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Like to think that this puts to bed the debate
of oh, this is a stunt, this is a publicity stunt.
It's got it's got to put it to bed, first
of all, for when I hear that the last couple
of days ago, are you kidding? Is it just? No?
It can't be a publicity stunt because Taylor Swift's very easy.
Taylor Swift is not getting anything out of it. That'slicity stunt.
(11:26):
What's she getting out of this? Tell me? What's Travis
Kelson talking about her?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Non stop?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The pause? She's the biggest star in the one.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You can always get a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
She's gonna okay, and I will say to you, she's
gonna put her her private life, which she gives us.
She lives a very public life, but she keeps what
she wants to be private private. She's gonna put out
there a potential relationship that with Travis Kelson. Who knows
what that's going to pretend. She's gonna put that. She's
gonna put that out there as just some kind of
stunt just because why she's the She's the most famous
(12:00):
a singer in the world, most famous female entertainer in
the world. She doesn't need anything. He's not giving her anything.
So that's why at this point, after she went to
a game, she went to the game, she sat with
his mom, they left the game together. She's going to
the game again. This is not just oh, she's doing
this as a stunt because she's not got anything out
of it. She's not going to get a new audience.
(12:21):
Oh I gotta sell more out. She's not gonna put
her in. She's not She's not gonna put herself a
risk for just for all, Am I going to get
more streams? Really? Again, she's just at this point right.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
But she's been seen out and about all over the play,
but nobody's supproved her film clips. Have you seen she's
out to dinner with her friend. Look in her brain,
she's calculating she's the next song that she's writing.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Whatever. Yeah, she's having fun. I'm not saying it's just
a one hundred.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
She's having fun and this could be a relationship. That's
what you do.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
But I'm not gonna say categorically she's getting She's getting nothing.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Out of this. If she she could be dating anybody,
and it would be. But the fact that she's gone
this far with Travis Kelcey, this is not a publicity stunt.
This is not her helping him out. Stars help each
other out with a tweet or or you're saying something
on social media. That's how you help somebody out. Travis
kelceys seeing all kinds of stuff blow up for him
and good for him. You know, all the memorabilia going
(13:22):
on that people are getting for him, that's awesome. The
only thing she's getting out of this is a relationship,
which is great, which is probably probably what this is.
It's a new relationship. She's the biggest star in the world,
She's very protective of her image and what people say
about her. So she makes public what she wants to
make public. Right now, I thought it was great that
she let Lucid yelp let Evan God and that she
(13:44):
knew that was no. That's all calculating me right now.
So what she puts out there. So what she puts
out there is something that she wants to put out there,
and she's not gonna put out there a fake relationship.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
She's not gonna put out a public because there's.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
No gain for her for it to be a publicity
st if at the end it's ablicity stunt. We'll find
out and gets who's gonna look bad? She is. She's
not gonna do that. There's no win for other than
I like this guy and we're having fun and maybe
there's a relationship. That's what win win.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Maybe a little bit of friendship and hanging out and
meeting the people.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
The Jason Smith Show with My Best Friend Mike Harmon
Live from the tire Rack dot Com Studios looks like
the Astro is gonna push that bulge to a game
and a half over the Mariners for the final playoff
spot in the American League, as they lead the Mariners
now eight to three in the bottom of the Apes.
But boy, that Hector narrow school here Rodriguez thing from
(14:45):
a few minutes ago. Can't wait to see what said
after the game on that. That's gonna be pretty fun.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Fire works every night until the end of the season.
That's all I want. Kiss what we're getting.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
White Sox tried to do their part to screw the
Cubs by losing three nothing at home to the Diamondbacks today,
and the Cubs went and lost. But you know, still
some opportunity there the wild card, making things interesting in
the final week. So that's good, good for baseball and
good for us.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
So let's take a look at Thursday night football tomorrow
between the Lions and the Packers. Right, this is gonna
be you know, unlike looking at last week. Hey, we
got the Giants in the foot. No, that's gonna be
a terrible game. This is gonna be a great game,
all right. I know, the interdivisional games on a Thursday night.
We've talked about it for years and people are actually
telling you know, I don't like the interdivisional games on
(15:34):
a Thursday night. Oh okay, So in this case it's
today's takes like six years before, but this is kind
of how it goes, right, And I get that you
have to put the interdivisional games on Thursday because if
you're not giving teams a long time to prepare, you
want to at least give them teams that they are
somewhat familiar with, so it makes preparation for the game easy.
I get it, I understand. But there's interdivisional games and
(15:55):
then there's Jags Titans, right, I mean, so you got
to make sure you get a good one. This is
a good one, and it stinks from the perspective of
both teams are dealing with huge injury issues right here.
Thinking Montgomery may come back for the Lions, maybe not.
Aaron Jones is out for the Packers, Bactiari is out
for the Packers. You're talking about some big dominoes on
(16:17):
the offensive side of the football that are going to
be out for both of these teams. So I'm saying
take the under on this game.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That's the first thing I'm gonna.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Tell you sitting at forty six.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Sloppy Thursday night, Take the under.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Take the under Lions one and a half point favorites.
Jones may play. He and Christian Watson, so you know
one of those. If you're in a fantasy league, you're
waiting till the final.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Minutes when I see this game, and you know, this
is not because I picked the Lions to go to
the super Bowl. This is not because I picked a line,
not because I picked them, not because the lines of
the Super Bowl. But they should be undefeated and they're
not worry about Green Bay's injuries more in this game
(17:03):
than I do for the Lions, because the Packers can't
run the football right. Not having Aaron Jones is a
huge deal. AJ Dillon has been brutal so far. How
many fantasy owners were so excited going oh Man Jones out,
but now aj Dillon. I got AJ Dillon the thirteen
pround to get the backfield all to himself, and it's
like he's given me four point three fantasy points the
last couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
What if you ran him and Joshua Kelly out together
the last couple of weeks, you know who you're looking at.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
This guy.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Oh I'm sorry, buddy, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
About Seed and proceed.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
He you may as well play Ladanian Tomlinson probably get
the same number of points. At least then you'll look
like you're playing Ladanian Tomlinson. So that'll be fun. But
I worry more about the Packers here because they have
a little bit more difficulty keeping it going on offense.
Detroit's gonna make Jordan Love beat them. And as good
as Jordan Love has been the first three weeks, he
has been really, really good. I don't think that's gonna
(18:01):
be enough. They're gonna make them one dimensional, and the
Lions have enough firepower to be able to overcome this.
I think it's gonna be a big night from Jamiir
Gibbs and Sam Laporta, who has become the rookie tight end, right,
all all the talk.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah we got Michael Mayer is great, and I'll be like,
oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Sam Laporta, Hey, Sam Laporte has been pretty good, Biby,
there's a big hole in that in that lineup now,
you know, waiting for Jamis and Williams to come back. Look,
I'm on Ross Saint Brown is terrific, but you have
Josh Reynolds didn't even get a target last week after
he after he got like nine passes the week before.
But Laporta has been pretty good and he's someone that's
earned Jared Goff's trust really quickly. Detroit's offense is gonna
(18:41):
be a little too much for a slightly overmatched Packers defense.
I'll take Detroit twenty four to twenty just coming in
in that under there, under forty six and a half.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Look at you.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I'm gonna go twenty seven to seventeen Packers, that they
coax a Jared Goff mistake or two, and that they
handle mister Gibbs, who's been okay thus far in the
run game. Montgomery obviously, you know, hated seeing him leave Chicago.
He's really glad he got out. He's like, cheeze, yeah,
(19:15):
well I got out. But now you look at this
Lions offense, Saint Brown's just a beast. Still trying to
figure out the rest of it. Laporta, if you listen
to our Ninjas on the podcast at the iWatch Flex
podcast last week, we talked about him a bunch, so
getting ahead of the curve just like we do here
Monday through Friday night, and finding that extra safety valve.
(19:39):
And look, the Lions are set up for great success.
This is a good one at Lambeau this early in
the season, So I'll take the home dog here on
the short week. I don't think he's necessarily aesthetically pleasing
for chunks of this game, because I don't think either
team's gonna run the ball very well.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Oh, you're just a Lions hater. Here's a lie. You're
just a Lions hater man.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Really, I'm picking the Packers in.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
The copies the greatness of the lines. No, look, I
hear you on greatness of them. I hear you on Gibbs.
He has not been the overall breakout like honestly, what
it is, he hasn't. He hasn't caught any passes that
I thought he would. I thought by now he'd have
a couple of big, long passes, a couple of games
where hey, he's got forty yards rushing because Montgomery was
clearly the bell cow before he got hurt. But Gibbs
(20:24):
is gonna make up for it. He'll have fifty sixty
yards receiving a couple of big passes. They get the
ball out in the open. That's kind of what he
does and uses speed. That's where I've really expected Gibbs
to be better, but he hasn't. But tomorrow is gonna
be the breakout game. They're gonna they gotta they know,
they got to get him the ball in space. They
gotta let him do his thing. Tomorrow be the breakout
game for Jamiir Gibbs.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Look at you, he had his seven catches against the
Seahawks when he rushed seven times for seventeen yards, and look,
he's a guy that there there's a lot of hope,
UH pinned on him being that breakout guy. Just remember
rookie running backs sometimes they find their way off the
field because they can't pass, block for anything. Right, So
(21:04):
you have a little of that that comes into play
as well in terms of being able to keep yourself
on the field for some of those passing situations to
be able to leak out of the backfield. But it'll
be it's truly an interesting matchup, right, We've got the
Bears will clearly finish last. We don't know what the
vikings become or whether a giant selloff happens. So here
(21:29):
are your teams that we're going to be battling and
it's good to see folks really do a one to
eighty on the Packers pretty quickly, because everybody pulled out
the shovels and buried them as soon as Aaron Rodgers
became a jet And in between coaching the team from Malibu, boy,
you see how much suck it up to Jordan love
he does, how much he loves him to stick it
(21:49):
to packers' brass every chance he can just say, Yah,
you really got a good one there, you know. I
I love that guy what he's doing for you, and
just waving at him.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
It's kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
So I tell you, Aaron Rodgers coaching from Malibi, he's
gonna be a head coach the NFL.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Maybe more motivational speaker.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
No, no, no, maybe that's his thing. I told you
he's gonna be a new age head coach and do
things and turn the profession on its ear, like Dion's
doing in Colorado. But differently, maybe he doesn't need to
be at the games. He'll be the head coaching the
far away. I'm gonna live in Malibu and I'm gonna
go on vacation wherever it is, and I'm going to
coach the team. From far away, Like you you've never
seen those commercials when they talk about industry, And I
always think about the terminator when I see stuff like this,
(22:31):
And it's the one where the guy is on the
beach by himself and he's sitting in a beach chair.
It's like sunset and he's moving his arms and you
see like he's got these special gloves on. And then
they they cut to like a robot doing doing an
operation on somebody, Like maybe that's gonna be Aaron Robin,
a coach from Afar. I thought about that when I
say that, because because that's what I want. Where's my doctor?
(22:53):
Oh he's on the beach in Malibu. Uh yeah, but
don't worry this this robot Oscar here is gonna do
your operation. But don't worry. He's only gonna move how
the doctor moves. But remember if a doctor gets hit
by a frisbee, well then Oscar will move as he
gets hit by.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
A fence hit.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
He just caught a tasty wave, right it out. But
we always suggested that. Remember in the end of Phil
Jackson's coaching run was have a monitor and he's just
there via zoom from wherever he is too soon, Mike,
I'm sorry, buddy.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
This story you think is false. You think it's from
the Onion, But no, no, no, this is true.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Is the Onion still a thing? Well?
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeahhhon Still you still get stories now and then made
an onion product. Hey, no, real website falls for onion story.
You know something like that. You still see that. So
the Phillies, who clinched a playoff spot last night, had
a game tonight Citizens Bank Park where they beat the
Pittsburgh Pirates. Okay, that's great, and you know, I think
people want to celebrate, and Phillies fans want to celebrate
(24:04):
as much as they can. Except for one fan who
was denied entry into the Phillies game tonight after he
tried to bring in his emotional support animal. Oh wait
a minute. Usually you see signs that you know, dog's
not allowed, you know, unless you're an emotional support animal.
And you see that all the time, and some people
(24:24):
try to you know, get bid at atle bit and go, oh,
this is my emotional support even though it's not really
it's just my dog, but it's my emotional support animal.
But this fan, whose name is Joey Henny, was denied
entry because he tried to get in with his emotional
support alligator. He tries to come in with an emotional
(24:47):
support alligator, and he was not allowed into the Phillies game.
There's pictures of him trying to get in Citizens Bank
with this alligator. It looks like the alligators about I
don't know, four and a half feet long. And the
alligator's name is Wally, and his his owner says, hey,
Wally loves giving kisses. I mean, come on, man, I'm
not gonna fall for that now. I'm not gonna no.
(25:09):
When Wally turns around and smiles at you and he
turns his nose towards you, he's expecting a kiss. Yeah, no,
not doing it.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Hey, Wally, do something funny. Yeah. We saw this from
Howard Eskin WIP there in Philly. He put that up.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
I was like, come on, and then I like, well, no,
it's Howard Eskin, so it's gotta be legit and everybody
wants their fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I mean no, no, I don't know. Maybe I don't
know enough about alligators, but alligators are okay, Like he
could bring it into a game and there'd be nothing
like the alligator would be okay, like you know, walking
on the cement and sitting in a seat at the bar,
sitting on his lap at the ballpark. I mean, I
don't understand like an alligator. Does an alligator need water?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I don't know. I have a big diet tribe on this,
but it probably wouldn't mean very popular.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
I know what that is.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
But I like that.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I don't know. Would he have a seat, would he
be in the aisle?
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Watch th stup in my alligator? I don't I don't
understand how he's gonna say.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Again, because you can't bring him to dog days at
the park because I mean, that's.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
No there's no barking.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I mean, that's mark in the park. I brought my alligator.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah, there's what happened all the little dogs in your
neighborhood and in this case, you're seating area.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Well, I want to see people. It's my emotional support.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Cheetah.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Watch what happens when I let him go here?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I have an emotional support falcon.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
That alligator could hit fourth for the Mets.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Probably probably takes over for Pete Alonzo probably yeah, yeah, listen, Pete. Sorry,
but the alligator eats a lot less uha.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Forty six home runs at all but future Dodger Pete,
by the way, we.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Just have to throw a couple of things in. And
it's for everything. You know that the you know it's
really it costs a lot less.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Jason's just gonna pretend I never said that. Mike.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Well, I'm trying to come up. I'm trying to go
and freelance and dive off, and you guys just keep
talking and sense. It makes it difficult sometimes. Oh no, no,
but fun of the mets, okay, fun no, I if.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
This worked, If this first of all, I'd like to
see if it worked.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And secondly, and I mean that would open the gate
to all kinds of crazy animals come in the games.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I think it's just wrong.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
So, man, I cringe with the number of people that
have decided it's okay to bring their dogs into the
grocery stores and everything else.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Here's my emotion with it, here's my emotional support. Lion
hang on them, hold on to his bets as I.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Catch your dog can hang out at home for fifteen
minutes while you'll get some groceries, either that or instacart
that stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I haven't fed him yet. I haven't fed him yet.
It's okay.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Here's my emotional support quarterback Zach Wilson.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Is that Aaron Rodgers' new title?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Is that not a coach? Zach brings the alligator out
on the field with him. This is my most port alligator.
It's a good personal protector right there. If I get sacked,
you jump in front and you bite that guy. Make
it look like you're giving him a kiss, and you
bite that guy.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Coming up next, we got more from the biggest NBA
trade of the year. That's next right here. Fox.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
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.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon live from the Tirack dot Com Studios.
Finally it happened. We finally saw the Damian Lillard trade
go down. After years of Willie Woney. Does he want
to leave? Does he?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I mean, my god, no, he's really loyal. He doesn't
want to go anywhere that's.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Been worse than than the I can't think of the
television show with a more of a will they or
won't they that hung over the.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Seasons more than does David Lillard want.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
To get trading? Or does he not? The last few years,
but it finally happened. Damie Lillard goes to the Bucks,
a huge three team deal. He's gonna play alongside Giannis,
Drew Holliday, DeAndre Ayton of players, a couple of draft
picks go to Portland. It's a big deal. The Sons
get use of Nurkic, Grayson Allennsir Little, and Keon Johnson.
(29:08):
Rick Buker loved what the Sons did with the trade.
He joined us earlier in the show. He's less a
fan of the of the the Damian Lillard to the
Bucks side of it. But you know what, this is
a home run for Milwaukee, right Like, Yes, they traded
away some players that had been big with them, and
(29:28):
Drew Holliday didn't want to get Delty wanted. Just yesterday
he said he want I want to retire a Buck. Yeah, dude,
you should have waited one day. Just wait one day
before you say that.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
He tried to speak it into existence.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Yeah yeah, yeah, just like the sales of shoes and
now pull up bars or whatever the hell he's howking
for LaVar ball.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
You know you weren't able to manifest those things.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I'm here, I want to say something. Just wait today.
You can get support guys. And while Drew Holliday clearly
is more than just a support guy, you got a
superstar in Damian Lillard. And the reason this is such
a great deal and why the Bucks go to the
top of the line for me in the Eastern Conference
in overwhelming finals favorites, is that you have seen the
(30:10):
Bucks are a really good regular season team, right. We
know this. They had the title from a couple of
years ago. They're a phenomenal regular season team. Right. They
lose in the first round of the playoffs last year
to the Miami Heat. They get a guy who can close.
They get a guy for winning time, because that's what
the Bucks need. The Bucks need somebody who can take
(30:31):
that shot in the final minutes of a game and
can carry a team when it's just not happening for Giannis,
because if Yanna somehow isn't into the game or he's
taken out of it. The Milwaukee Bucks struggle. Look at
the last possession of their season last year that knocked
them out of the playoffs against the Miami Heat. Giannis
falls down, passes the ball to Chris Middleton. Middleton doesn't
(30:54):
know where to go with the ball, and by the
time he passes to Grayson Allen the clock has hit zero.
Allan shot goes up after the clock is out and
it doesn't go in anyway. That's how the Milwaukee Bucks
season ended, with Gianni's falling down, Middleton waiting too long
to pass, and Grayson Allen shooting after the buzzer. That
needs to be fixed. That needed to be fixed. So
(31:16):
now at the end of games you have somebody that
can get their own shot off, that can be that closer.
That's exactly what the Bucks needed. It's very similar to
the Warriors when they lost to the Cavaliers. Right when
the Cavs came back from down three to one in
the final possessions of the clinching game. Was Steph Curry
unable to get his own shot off, which we've been
(31:37):
telling you for years. He can't do it at the
end of games. It's why it's so hard. Steph Curry
can't get his own shot off. He's too small. Kevin
Love was out there on him other players, and they knew,
we need somebody else. We need someplace else we can
go with the ball at the end of games. So voila,
they go get Kevin Durant. Three more finals, two more championships,
and the Golden State Warriors legacy and dynasty is secure.
(31:57):
So they knew, all right, we need somebody else for
winning time, for the big ones. We're good enough in
the regular season. We need to start for when it matters,
And that's what this is. This is Damian Lillard, who
doesn't need to carry the offense, does need to play
seventy five games, but when it comes time to the playoffs,
this is where we need you to hit one from
the logo. This is where we need you to hit
a big three in the final minute. And they've got
the guy to do it. That's why this is a
(32:18):
home run, because they needed a guy and winning time,
and they got that guy.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Look, you're looking both short and long term with this deal.
Short term, yeah, you're now the favorite. Still some concern
when you start talking about age, injury histories, etc. Outside
of those two players, but it's a work in progress.
This is the big step forward because the long term
is obviously trying to convince Giannis that this could work
(32:44):
and we'll see divin ends right away and both guys
end up re signing.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
And finishing their careers. That's what you're hoping in theory.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Working in quiet while everybody was still looking at Miami
and when can we just get this thing done already
was kind of the sentiment to it. But yeah, to
your point, you know, Holiday leaves and I know Rick was,
you know, less enthused with his departure as one of
those glue guys, right, all the intangibles, and I get
(33:13):
that for sure. The big thing for me is that
the front court needs to stay healthy, right These guys
are in their mid thirties now and still battling, So
can you find another piece out there to for to
fy a little bit? And what I did love is
also when you start talking about trades like opening a
pack of baseball cards now and guys are born in
like two thousand and four, is that you know these
(33:36):
trades are all now for draft considerations.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
In twenty twenty eight and twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
