smack dab in the middle of day one of the
MLB postseason. I'm watching the Mets trail the Diamondbacks right now,
(01:26):
four to three, going to the eighth inning.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Ask me, I don't think mil Ask me why why?
Ask me why why?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Because our manager next year, Craig Council, is managing the
Brewers right now.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
So this is like a Mets playoff.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
You're trying to speak that into existence. It's like the
people in Chicago, which of these guys you prefer is
your next Bears head coach. It's like, how about you
actually commit to firing this guy first instead of letting
him flounder like a fish on a hook. Well, here,
you're trying to speak this into existence. Calm down, I'm
not speaking into existence. First of all, you have the
president of Baseball Operations who hired Craig Council is now
(02:03):
running the Mets. David Stearns.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yes, that's right, Craig Council, who somehow does not have
a contract after this year. He even said before the
game today, my contract is up. I don't have a contract.
Anybody wants to talk to me, I'll talk to them.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Are you going to manage today?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I'm gonna wear the wear the suit.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
So for some reason the Brewers A said we don't
want to sign you, or B I'm going to the
Mets when I.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Get a chance.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So he may as well be wearing a Mets uniform
managing today. I'm watching him manage going. Is he gonna
make that decision with the Mets in the playoffs last year?
Would he do this with the Mets.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Base?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Very nice?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Hezeil Cooper, nice, Robin you out in center.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
We want to go back playing second base?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Charlie, Yeah, sure, we can put in behind the dish
a day off, Ben Ogilvie, sure, Larry Heisel, yeah, oh yeah, yeah,
you want to go Harvey's wall, but bit is on
the mound or he's playing first base in Major league?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Money maybe a little.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Bit, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good. Squad that was one
of my favorite stratumatic teams because they hit right them
in the seventy nine Tigers. Yeah, you'd be one of
those teams. Let's go, Johnny Watkin fuss getting after it.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
But yeah, but it's like it's like I'm watching the
Mets playoff game tonight because our manager for next year
is managing.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Now, so you're a little more invested.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I feel good now. But here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
It's good to have a dog in the fight, because
I'm sitting there going all right, other than the Dodgers
for obvious reasons, for all of our friends and associates
here who may be insufferable if when they actually win
the World Series. So I have to kind of temper
that to a bit. But the rest of these squads,
I mean, I like some individual players along the way,
but for the most part, it's like, nah, beat it.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I don't know if I'm rudy for the Brewers to win,
because if they win, maybe they decide, oh, we should
keep counsel and give him more.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Money or no.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
But I mean your guys, but I mean they don't
have the money. Your guy does, no, that like, if
he decides, that's my guy and sterns.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
He decides, that's my guy.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
We got the Pope coming up later on tonight to
talk to us about. I mean, there's really not a
whole lot you can do. He decides he's going all in.
I mean a little bit. You know, I'm on board
Miami a bit because of Jake berger Burger. I liked
him in Chicago. Sure, I kind of hated the fact that, hey,
he was one of the guys that got dumped.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I'm just happy one of these teams is gonna lose, right,
Not true, I'm losing an nle's team, and then I'm
gonna lose an Nlease even the next round too.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
I'm gonna play the Braves.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So it's like I'm guaranteed to lose. We're gonna lose
an NL's team every round. It's gonna be great.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
It does guarantee one of them goes through. Though I
love well, I figure it's the Braves. I've already've already
come to grim. You reconciled that one, Okay. I figured
it's gonna be to terms with that a while. The
really good I'm not gonna get some crazy ass up
to that. Look at the Braves and Phillies battling for
the world.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
No, no, no, not.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Gonna get that. Not gonna get that, not gonna get so.
I love the playoffs. Playoffs are great. Playoffs are great.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
It's exciting day baseball, which is stupid because it is
the playoffs. I mean, I'll just start it right there.
Let's look, I get it. You got TV windows and
all this nonsense. Screw that, it's the playoff.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
But you get into the biggest story of the day
with Day one of the Baseball playoffs. Okay, the Jason

Progressive dot com. The first playoff game of the day
(05:30):
today is Kicked Off Rangers and the Rays Right Rangers.
Rays Rangers win the game, but that's besides the point.
A final attendance in Tampa for this game a very
generous because there's no way you're going to tell me
this was the actual number. Nineteen thousand people at the game,
(05:52):
tame when really, when you saw a lot of estimates
saying four five thousand maybe, but just like they always do,
we count the season ticket holders. Hey, nineteen thousand, No, no, way,
nineteen thousand, and this is a this is a thirty
eight thousand seed ballpark. They say, can you get to
like forty three? I mean, come on, man, this is
in a few years. Because you're now you're gonna see
relocation in the next couple of years. We talked a
(06:13):
lot about the A's this year. They're moving to Vegas
in five years. When we're talking about the Montreal Rays
or whatever they become, or the North Carolina Rays or
whatever they become, people are gonna say, boy, when was
that moment that we went to, Hey, the Rays are
definitively moving and nothing's gonna stop it. You're gonna point
(06:34):
to today because this was the most embarrassing thing that
Major League Baseball could possibly have. Here's your first playoff game.
And yes it's the rais of the range, but still,
it's the pageantry of the first playoff game. It's the postseason,
it's what you've been waiting for, and you get a
ball in the first images of the baseball playoffs stre
here's a ballpark fifteen minutes before first pitch, and there's
maybe four thousand.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
To be fair, if you were only watching it on
television and not through the glory of social media, you
were none the wiser. Well, because they're not gonna show it.
But I could, I could cover up the warts. Fact,
I could go find something on and whether it's Selena
Gomez's makeup bile, whether I can go and you know,
maybe it's maybe Leine, I don't know, well, but I
(07:15):
can find stuff to cover up my blemishes. If we're
in the old judicitional broadcast, you don't show the foul ball.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
You know, sometimes they show the foul balls, and sometimes
they don't, like why don't.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Wear that trailer?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
And then you stop it because because the.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Foul ball is gonna land where there are no fans
for dozens of miles. So no, no do we follow
that that don't follow the foul ball. Stay stand the picture,
stand the picture. Okay, we're gonna have this game in
Andy's room. I meant we are not well attended by
all the a AND's room. That's the game that had
been Andy's room.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I mean, like I really enjoyed Andy's room.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
By the way, it's so unbelievably embarrassing for baseball that
you have a team making the plays and I know
it's a day game too, right, Right, it's a day's
and they've had a good team for a while, right.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And then he wins a year.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
You should be all that.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You should be able to have built and cultivated a
fan base by now, because you have built in enough
of a culture of winning the last few years where
it's not, Hey, you guys are doormats, right, So you've
been able to build and still this is what you
get the first day, nineteen thousand people.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Well, people have to work.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I know people have to work, but no other stadium
has trouble filling for a day game. Hey, Twins had
to sell out, right, everybody else everybody Hill sells out.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Oakland would have had more people. Are you killed?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
My god?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Oplan would have had more people there.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Come on now, Well they would have disguised it as hey,
let's let's do this and tried to get the team
not to be a sellout in Oakland. If you show up,
you can keep your seat, like literally, you can take
the seat with you when you leave.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I mean, that's how embarrassing this is for baseball, and
there's certain moments where you know, we go down a
road that you can't turn.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Away stadium deal, right, So like what does that mean
in the grand scheme of I mean, come.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
On, this is one This is one of those Okay,
we can't, we can't, we can't have this is where
baseball gets involved and says, all right, this is this
is not going on, This is not going on now,
and we can't do this. We can't have this team
have this optic that nobody cares. Right, that's the worst thing, right,
because what baseball, with all the different changes they make,
what are the two things I always look at in
(09:11):
baseball that viewership is up and stands are full? And
this is of the two things they like to promote.
Here's your first playoff game and nobody is there, and
nobody is there. You couldn't get nineteen thousand other people
for tickets that were that were pretty cheap get in
wasn't wasn't outlandish because I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Know of it on the secondary market were you were
in heaven. It's not to be fair. It was about
fourteen hundred greater than their season average. Yeah, no, that's good,
that's goods good that's good. Fourteen hundred, fourteen hundred more
people went to this game, Yeah, than in the regular season.
It's a playoff game. Had we had another fourteen hundred people, yeah,
I mean Workland averaged ten thousand, fourteen hundred, fourteen h Yeah,
(09:55):
in Tampa Bay average just under eighteen thousand. That's a
game this year. This is where baseball gets involved and says, Okay,
let's push this deal, and and they and and we
we have to put them someplace else. But we also
get into the discussion overall of well, what does it
mean on the grand scheme of things? Asses and seats,
(10:16):
the optics they're in right, because we can see g
I and AI some people in there. If we really
want to do it, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Why didn't they do that? What do you think legitimately?
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Right?
Speaker 5 (10:24):
It's always been about what do you have enough time
to AI some people?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
How many they a couple hundred?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
We do? We had cardboard cutouts. I don't have a pandemic.
I don't have to go they pop up in rows.
What if they all looked like Boba fet?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
What if they if they were all trained, if they
were all jango fet, nobody's showing up to this game.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
You want to buy a seat a hard work cut
out of your favorite person in Star Wars Universe.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
No, they're just no, they're just all All the clubs
are all dressed like Django Fet and not sure some
of them.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
What you gotta have a couple with the kids, like
every fourth ones got to be but yeah, yeah, okay, okay,
that way it looks like families. Right, So you need
about fifth and baby yodas, so you every fifth one,
Mike is the kid handing out hats. The kids gotta
be handed out.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Here fourteen thousand Django FETs No, but four thousand combination
of four to five thousand between Boba Fet Baby Kid,
Boba Fett and baby.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
But let's go back to basics though, is we're always
talked about uh in all these sports it's about the
TV deals, It's about the TV product And is my
product lesson because some guy didn't get off his job
or out of his nursing home or whatever to go,
So I gotta call what it is. It's Tampa Saint Pete.
My my parents lived down there. They were not happy
(11:37):
by the end.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
They go to the game. Now why did they go?
Speaker 5 (11:40):
They could have gone to the game for free.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It would have been a couple of bucks.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
They could you could have sent them the money for that.
I had no problem doing it.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Could want to make the effort once you go to
the game, which is like everybody else in Tampa.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
No, but is if it's on TV. Yeah, am I going, Jason,
if i'm if i'm them?
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, but you know who can't go to Tampa?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Oh bike?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
After that comment?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
There he is seat seven.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
G got him?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, that's fine. And and I'll wear it.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I'll see you go and guys all at Lenny's. Uh,
when I get out there for the holidays. It's a
great breakfast place.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
You had.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
The thing is, you have to to go to a
sporting event.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Sometimes I get the I get where the philosophy of hey,
the TV experience is so well and and the and
the in person experience, they have to continue to amp it.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Upment of time.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
And I get I get that.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I get that you need to amp up what it's
like in a game. And to make people, you gotta
make people come out to a game. I understand that.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
But this was easy. This was well, how tough is
it to get tickets?
Speaker 7 (12:40):
No?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Pretty easy? Well, I like to kind of spread out. No,
you had your chance. Yeah, whatever, this is an easy
game to go to Angels game.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I'm gonna drive right up.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I'm gonna drive right up, and there's gonna be a
valet saying I'll park your car, I'll come may welcome
you to the stadium.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
When do you want to leave? Probably in the seventh inning?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
All right, just call down ahead and I'll have your
car ready for you. So no, But to the larger point,
just though of the television model and the revenues and
the reduction in ballparks, like a lot of that, it
all comes together, and look, I agree with you. Should
they have been packed? Absolutely? Should there have been trips
planned for folks to go to these games? Hell yeah,
(13:18):
it's a playoff game. However, the dollars and cents of
TV revenue has already made it to where you don't
have to try during the regular season. Right, this is
the natural extension of It's like, wait, we're still gonna
get to watch them, right, Yeah, it's all gonna be
on national TV. Yeah, it's not gonna be on one
of these crazy pay for platforms. Yeah, I'm not going.
(13:42):
I'm not investing my day. Yeah, that's a terrible stadium.
Let's see, let's accept for the touch pay. Let's see
how you can touch it with two fingers only two
fingers though.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Yeah, let's see.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, just in one way, not the other way. Let's
see if this announcement for the stadium and everything goes
forward like it was.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Oh no, no, just like Oakland, you have a bunch
of hiccups, just like the Museum of stadium proposals we
had here in Los Angeles before Ronkey finally put some
shovels in the dirt or Balmer decided to. I mean,
how many iterations of those did you go through for
twenty five thirty years? Likewise, the bullet train from here
(14:22):
to Las Vegas a lot of models every five years
off of some sci fi. Hey you know what, I
went and saw the creator and we could make the
cars all look like Lobot.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Today will be that day when when did they really
what did we know they were going to be the Montreal?
Today was that day? Today?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
With the Girl's Day?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Was that?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
You know what? It might have been during the Fanatics
had a big writ party vin Tops the other day
and Tom Brady showed up in a exposed Jersey, remember
because he was drafted by all those years ago. Right,
Maybe he doesn't want to be part of the Raiders
ownership North Carolina, Carolina Rays Carolin get Ready, or maybe
he brings the expos back exit out about a Fresco

and be because I'm Marlin's Man, but I'm not going
(18:48):
to the Marlins game.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
There you go, that's just stupid. You need to change
your name.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
You think that's Marlin's Man playing chess whenever else playing checkers.
I'm not going to go to that game.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
On the guy next to him, though it looks like
a leopard print kind of thing going on.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
It is a very yellow jacket.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It TJS.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
I must have robbed you, Mike.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
It is a very Harmon sque jacket. Is Harmon's trying
to find it on the eBay right now.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I'm trying to figure out what it is.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
What's your brand?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
He's dming. Marlins Man, Hey, can the guy next to
you sell me? You know, legitimately were much?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
What do you want for it?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
We can go two degrees of separation. Isn't at Mallard's buddy.
We can probably get him there. Ben yelled at me
once for hanging up on Marlins man.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
We had him on the show once. I know he did.
He came on the show.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
We had him first, and then Ben thinks, I like
they're best friends or something. The Jason Smith Show with

We'll have more baseball coming up in a bit. Again.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
The other game right now, the More are playing. They
are losing three to one in the eighth inning against
the Phillies. So Marlin's Man again missing what could be
a Marlins loss to watch what could be a Diamondbacks
win again Chess and checkers.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Well, what's funny though, is ra As we were talking
about him, suddenly he was looking at his phone as
if someone's alerting him that we were a mocking game. Uh,
let me just say this, Craig Council manage the Mets
Marlin's Man at this game. I mean, really, the Mets
own everything is he hand delivering it all right. Now
(20:32):
he's delivering council. He's on his private jem like.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
DeNiro in a midnight run. I got to get the
duke back to La step back.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, that's not an expensive package. By the way, that
guy weighs like five pounds.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
So we have had the war of words already fired
ahead of the game of the week in the NFL,
forty nine Ers in the Cowboys. Look at every the
Titanic matchup. It's the one of those Super Bowl blank
blank and a half games, two of the best there,
but it is the game that you're talking about. Two
of the biggest heritage teams in the NFL. And the
(21:06):
Cowboys are certainly off to a really good start. The
forty nine Ers are off to a fantastic start. And
Jerry Jones, Cowboys owner, did his weekly appearance on one
O five to three the Fan today and he talked
about going into this weekend, about how big this game
is and what the Cowboys need to do, and he
surprisingly said the road of the Super Bowl does not
go through Dallas.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
They are right now probably the most likely team to
go in Super Bowl, but in order for them to
get there, they've got to go by us, hopefully two
times if that's where it falls in the playoffs and
we're in the playoffs, of course, but the bottom line
is that you're playing the best. This is certainly you
(21:48):
don't need the game to tell you that you're playing
the best, but you need the game to show you
how you stack up. Gives the best.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Okay, So there was a very winding statement. It's a
big game. They have to go through us.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
But Jerry Jones realizing, oh wait a minute, Wait a minute,
wait a minute, I don't know that I should say
that right there.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Let me say change I got they got it.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Once or twice.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
If we make the playoffs, it'll be two times. Play
us now and again in the playoffs later on. We
played him in the playoffs the last two years, they'll
be twice. Today that be only play him once, but
that would be this week and then in a few
months if in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Where so you could tell in the middle of that
statement he went from Dallas Cowboys, here we go to oh,
wait a minute, Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, forty nine has led me.
Just back off a little bit, and you know it.
For Jerry Jones, that's a smart thing because right now
the Cowboys you want zero of the forty nine ers smoke.
You want none of their smoke at this moment in time. Certainly,
(22:50):
as the season goes on, things can change, right Teams
evolve over the course of the season. You don't know
how injuries are gonna come through. Likeau Is Christian McCaffrey
is gonna be healthy all year. He was healthy all
year last year. That's a big bonus because he hadn't
been healthy up until that point. You don't know how
teams are gonna go. We'll teams figure out. Brock perty
will brock Purty continue to be this way? Well, Dak
Prescott put it all together. You don't know how things
(23:10):
are gonna go. But right now you want zero forty
nine or smoke. You want none. Because this game's gonna
look like the NFC Divisional game last year, except the
Niners are gonna score more points. It's still gonna be
a struggle for the Cowboys to put points on the
board because their offense is limited compared to what the
Niners defense allows. They don't allow anybody to go off.
Nobody goes off of the Niners defense. No tell me
(23:31):
the last guy. Boy he had, what a day he had? No,
it doesn't happen. The Cowboys are gonna struggle and the
Niners are playing at the top of their game.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
This is gonna be blowout city and one of those
games where it's close for a little while, then a
couple of mistakes, Niners get out to a lead, and
suddenly by the fourth quarter it's here's a seventeen point
forty nine Ers lead with ten minutes left to go,
and it's over. That's how the game's gonna go. You
want zero forty nine or smoke right now.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
But what I love about it is I'll get into
that phase of we're no longer putting Brock Purdy as
this guy who's rock building right our guy Hayman with
his Brock Purty. Uh excitement, I should start wearing suits
and running around. My hairlines starting to look like Hayman's
at this point. But to that level of excitement that
(24:19):
we're comparing Purdy to Dak and where Purdy is on
the rise and whether or not he is elite Dak's Dak.
People are starting to accept there's some limitations.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
He's good, but.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Is he great?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Can he be great. Is it.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Just the health of the offensive line that's gonna set
that next level to this offense? Because we love Cede Lamb.
People are starting to love a little Jake Ferguson. What
else do you love there, Brandon Cooks, Michael Galla.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Against lesser competition. I like them against lesser It's one
of those teams where, hey, if they play a team
there better than boy, they look like their world beaters.
They play a team that says good or a little
bit better. Oh suddenly it's wait a minute, Doc is
really struggling. This is all not moving the football at all.
The holes aren't there for Tony Pollard like they used
to be. But this is a team like we saw
with Arizona two weeks ago. A surprise that it was,
(25:17):
but they came out and punched him in the mouth.
That's the entire style of the forty nine ers. They're
coming in for a street brawl. They're the brawling brutes.
Get well soon to Shamus with his shoulder injury and all,
but you can borrow his fedora and get out there
and get after it as a member of the forty
nine ers, because that's all they do. They want to
beat you up in the trenches and then Christian mccaffery's
(25:39):
gonna run over you. I mean, that's it's not finesse,
it's not style points. It's a we beat you up
and then occasionally we will hit you over the top
or find a way to work Ayuk or Deebo Samuel
Fantasy owners hoping for a much bigger return than they
got from Week four.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
But I look at it for the.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Cowboys, it it really is going to be interesting to
see how they try to attack that defense and keep
Nick bo said bay right and get Dak Prescott because
your offensive line is still banged up, so they're coming.
So how are you getting it out? You know, getting
the ball out? How are you gonna be able to
stand in the pocket, extend plays and maybe get your
(26:20):
guys some room down the field, because you really haven't
seen Ceenee Lambs piled up some numbers thus far, but
he's not had that game just yet to where he's
taking over and this isn't going to be it. So
you're gonna have to find one of these secondary guys
to step up for you.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
And here's the part of where, well, okay, what if
it's a measuring stick game. If I'm the Cowboys, I walk,
I walk into the rest of this week, and I go,
you know what, we're turning one hundred and eighty degrees.
This is just a game we're gonna go play and
then it's one of seventeen. Because they have put a
lot emotionally into the beginning of this season, and for
the most part, it's worked out well because you could say, well, look,
(26:59):
we won three big games, blow as we came in motivated.
The one game we were flat for, we lose to
the Cardinals. It's unforgivable, but you can say, hey, we
were up for all those games. Look how well we played.
The one game we were flat for we lost. We're
still mentally, we are still in a great spot. But
what happens when you ride that emotion and that's what
I told you about the Cowboys. My one worry about
the beginning of the season was that when you're the
(27:21):
every week can't be the super Bowl. And when you're
that high from the beginning of the season, what happens
when you lose. You go into this game and you
get your ass kicked, which is probably what's gonna happen.
Where do you go from there? Where do you go
from We're still the biggest, baddest team on the planets.
We just played San Francisco and they bet a thirty
eight to twelve. Where do we go from here? And
then things get really weird fast. I put zero stock
(27:43):
in this game. It's one of seventeen, and after this
week we have a long way to go. I don't look.
I tell Jerry Jones, I tell play this is not
a measuring stick game. This is not where do we say?
This is just one game and we go from there?
Because mentally, what can happen to you? You put a
lot in this game and again you look like you're
gonna lose.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Forget it like that in theory.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
But I also the Cowboys are a team right now,
and look ca Cedi Lamb did have his one hundred
and forty three receiving yards against you. But right now
they've played four teams that I think we can all
argue are try hard but aren't very good. The Jets,
the Giants. The Patriots said try very hard, but you
said tried the Giants, They're.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Just not good.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah, I don't know that very much. On the edge,
I'm not going Rodney Harrison, but there are some suspect
blocking efforts. But Giants, Jets, Cardinals came up and stung
him and the Patriots. Right now, those are four teams
that if you were doing your ranking of suck, there
(28:45):
are four teams down there with the Broncos and the Bears.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
So how good are the the Cowboys? Really?
Speaker 3 (28:52):
No paper? But right now, smoke a whole lot of questions.
No smoke, you don't want forty nine. You're locking Jerry
in a room. Then Jerry just be quiet, everybody, we
kick him out of the Hall of Fame. Oh that's
what happens.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
To I've been feeling tears for fears day. So okay, Jason,
you're playing a fellow here, I am.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
You mean the game of fellow. I used to like
playing a fellow. Fellow was fun.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
You had with the black pieces and the white pieces.
You have to surround everybody. I used to like it.
I really was starting to think about the Shakespearean play.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Yeah, I go.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I really thought I was going that deep mine by
the throat, the circumcised dog, and I smoked.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
Him thusly, which is actually from that's from a fellow.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
He just went a little darker than you thought.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It's a fellow. You don't mean Shakespeare classes I took
in college, all of them. Whatever the Shakespeare category in jeopardy, I.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Go stand back.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
I got It's it, stand back, everybody, I got it.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
I used to have any of the Shrew if only
you were Shakespeare in love?
Speaker 4 (30:52):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Midsummer Night's Dream?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
What an overrated?
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Who is houck?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
But I had the Giant and you know Shakespeare book right,
everything and notes and all, and at some point it
got shuffled with everything else. So now that my kids
were going into classes like, hey, do we still have
that book? And I'm like, ask your mo So was
he or was he not? A horrible person? Shakespeare? Oh god,
I hate Shakespeare. Well, he wrote sonnets about that, so
(31:19):
you have to you have to s you have to
read the sonnets. Yeah, or wait for the movie. I
think the movie is coming out soon. Shakespeare not in love? Shakespeare.
Did he have the forty nine ers going to the
Super Bowl?
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (31:30):
He did, he did.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
He actually had to forge. Yeah, he actually wrote a
sonnet about that. He end the night of the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
We are on the cusp of what's going to be
the best new rivalry in the NBA. We're going to
get it opening night, and we're going to get it
a lot this year. And the best part is both
sides don't mind talking. The Lakers and Nuggets have renewed
their war of words that began shortly after the Western
(31:56):
Conference Finals last year, when Michael Malone was very upset
at all the attention that Lebron and the Lakers were getting.
He was upset after the Lakers lose Game one, but
they played well at the conversation the next day was
about how boy, the Lakers almost got you.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
Why are you not talking about us?
Speaker 1 (32:10):
And Michael Malone not understanding that it's Lebron James. Lebron
James is the biggest deal in sports, of course, and
he was so bitter about it the entire time. It
it but it fueled them through the the Western Conference Finals,
which they won in a sweep, through the NBA Finals
into the off season. You know, after the the uh
(32:31):
Lakers lost, Lebron said, I may retire. Michael Malone goes
on the Pat McAfee show and says, I got some news.
I might retire after this year. So the Lakers are
living rent free in the head of Michael Malone, and
today you think, okay, well now we're back to business
as usual. The Lakers are getting ready for the season
in three weeks oh no, no, no, no, all that
stuff Lakers, Nuggets, that is at top of mind. Here's
(32:52):
Austin Reeves from practice today on the Yap Yap yapp.
And that's been going on from the Nuggets and Lakers.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
I think everybody knows it was fun it at us.
You know, they can do it indirectly, you know, if
they won. But you know, I think it was very
obvious to you know.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
The public guy.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
That's why everybody was talking about it.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yeah, you see stuff.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
Me personally, I'm trying my best to stay on social
media and look at all that stuff. To me, you know,
I go play every game the way. You know, I'm
gonna go play the first game against them. But I
think it, you know, adds a little bit of motivation
to you know, go play really well.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
And I'm gonna dunk on their face. Lebron and Malone
went at it on Instagram earlier this summer. Darvin Ham
went on the League Uncut podcast last month and said,
this blank ain't over.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
This is gonna be fun now. I wouldn't be doing
my job as.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
A sports talk radio host if I didn't say, hey,
there's a couple of bits of advice here. If I
if I'm giving advice here, I would tell Malone and
the Nuggets, what the hell is wrong with you?
Speaker 5 (33:56):
You're the champs.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Why are you punching down?
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Why?
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Why are you involved than this? Why are you going
back and forth?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Now, maybe it's fun for you, maybe users, But it
all stems of the fact that Michael Malone never felt
that the Nuggets were getting the attention they deserve.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
We're the chair.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Why are we not getting the attention because Lebron James
is the biggest superstar on the planet. Whatever, If you
had Lebron James, we'd be talking about you. I'm sorry,
you don't set Lebron James biggest star on the planet.
Sorry behind Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift, Lebron James. So if
that was the case, of course you'd be talking about you.
But you don't have Lebron. And it all stems from
the fact that I feel He's like, why are we
(34:33):
not getting more spoiled to the victor's go the spoil.
We're not getting enough spoils. But I'm telling you, dude,
you're the champs. Just shut up, go play. You're trying
to repeat, why are you getting involved in a war?
Words with the Lakers that what you need for a
team that is older, they need motivation. You need a
way to get out of bed in the morning. Right,
this is a team that you get to game sixty three,
sixty five. Why are you getting involved in this? Just
(34:54):
shut up and go play now? As a host, I
love it because it's going to be fun. But that's
my advice. Why are the Nuggets doing this?
Speaker 3 (35:00):
The other thing is he's got to look at the
state he's currently working in. You're third, Colorado? Oh sorry, right,
you're third. Yeah, you've got the dumpster fire until the
fourth quarter against the Bears. That is the Denver Broncos,
Russell Wilson, Sean Payton, everything else. Oh and that other
thing that's been going on in Colorado over in Boulder.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Do you believe?
Speaker 5 (35:21):
Do you believe?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Okay, I just ask him. I have to ask in
life after Love. Sure, but yeah, and in terms of
you know that process, Yeah, you're third in your state.
Then you get into the league. Sorry, you're Denver. And
Yokich is fun to a point, but that's only for
guys like me that like to watch him dance in
clubs when he's three ft taller than anybody, or ride
(35:43):
a sulky because he likes his horses. Nobody else cares.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
I'm weird.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
He said, I didn't touch a basketball. Do you know
who Dione Sanders is?
Speaker 5 (35:51):
No, just be quiet, go play.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
We're just gonna keep calling him Mike, be.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Quiet, Mike exit out about a Rasca exit Swollendome coming
up next.
Speaker 5 (36:02):
The Aaron Rodgers comeback could be close.

smack dab in the middle of day one of the
MLB postseason. I'm watching the Mets trail the Diamondbacks right now,
(01:26):
four to three, going to the eighth inning.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Ask me, I don't think mil Ask me why why?
Ask me why why?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Because our manager next year, Craig Council, is managing the
Brewers right now.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
So this is like a Mets playoff.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
You're trying to speak that into existence. It's like the
people in Chicago, which of these guys you prefer is
your next Bears head coach. It's like, how about you
actually commit to firing this guy first instead of letting
him flounder like a fish on a hook. Well, here,
you're trying to speak this into existence. Calm down, I'm
not speaking into existence. First of all, you have the
president of Baseball Operations who hired Craig Council is now
(02:03):
running the Mets. David Stearns.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yes, that's right, Craig Council, who somehow does not have
a contract after this year. He even said before the
game today, my contract is up. I don't have a contract.
Anybody wants to talk to me, I'll talk to them.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Are you going to manage today?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I'm gonna wear the wear the suit.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
So for some reason the Brewers A said we don't
want to sign you, or B I'm going to the
Mets when I.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Get a chance.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So he may as well be wearing a Mets uniform
managing today. I'm watching him manage going. Is he gonna
make that decision with the Mets in the playoffs last year?
Would he do this with the Mets.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Base?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Very nice?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Hezeil Cooper, nice, Robin you out in center.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
We want to go back playing second base?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Charlie, Yeah, sure, we can put in behind the dish
a day off, Ben Ogilvie, sure, Larry Heisel, yeah, oh yeah, yeah,
you want to go Harvey's wall, but bit is on
the mound or he's playing first base in Major league?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Money maybe a little.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Bit, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good. Squad that was one
of my favorite stratumatic teams because they hit right them
in the seventy nine Tigers. Yeah, you'd be one of
those teams. Let's go, Johnny Watkin fuss getting after it.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
But yeah, but it's like it's like I'm watching the
Mets playoff game tonight because our manager for next year
is managing.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Now, so you're a little more invested.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I feel good now. But here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
It's good to have a dog in the fight, because
I'm sitting there going all right, other than the Dodgers
for obvious reasons, for all of our friends and associates
here who may be insufferable if when they actually win
the World Series. So I have to kind of temper
that to a bit. But the rest of these squads,
I mean, I like some individual players along the way,
but for the most part, it's like, nah, beat it.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I don't know if I'm rudy for the Brewers to win,
because if they win, maybe they decide, oh, we should
keep counsel and give him more.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Money or no.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
But I mean your guys, but I mean they don't
have the money. Your guy does, no, that like, if
he decides, that's my guy and sterns.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
He decides, that's my guy.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
We got the Pope coming up later on tonight to
talk to us about. I mean, there's really not a
whole lot you can do. He decides he's going all in.
I mean a little bit. You know, I'm on board
Miami a bit because of Jake berger Burger. I liked
him in Chicago. Sure, I kind of hated the fact that, hey,
he was one of the guys that got dumped.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I'm just happy one of these teams is gonna lose, right,
Not true, I'm losing an nle's team, and then I'm
gonna lose an Nlease even the next round too.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
I'm gonna play the Braves.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So it's like I'm guaranteed to lose. We're gonna lose
an NL's team every round. It's gonna be great.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
It does guarantee one of them goes through. Though I
love well, I figure it's the Braves. I've already've already
come to grim. You reconciled that one, Okay. I figured
it's gonna be to terms with that a while. The
really good I'm not gonna get some crazy ass up
to that. Look at the Braves and Phillies battling for
the world.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
No, no, no, not.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Gonna get that. Not gonna get that, not gonna get so.
I love the playoffs. Playoffs are great. Playoffs are great.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
It's exciting day baseball, which is stupid because it is
the playoffs. I mean, I'll just start it right there.
Let's look, I get it. You got TV windows and
all this nonsense. Screw that, it's the playoff.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
But you get into the biggest story of the day
with Day one of the Baseball playoffs. Okay, the Jason
Smith Show with Mike Carman, brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

Progressive dot com. The first playoff game of the day
(05:30):
today is Kicked Off Rangers and the Rays Right Rangers.
Rays Rangers win the game, but that's besides the point.
A final attendance in Tampa for this game a very
generous because there's no way you're going to tell me
this was the actual number. Nineteen thousand people at the game,
(05:52):
tame when really, when you saw a lot of estimates
saying four five thousand maybe, but just like they always do,
we count the season ticket holders. Hey, nineteen thousand, No, no, way,
nineteen thousand, and this is a this is a thirty
eight thousand seed ballpark. They say, can you get to
like forty three? I mean, come on, man, this is
in a few years. Because you're now you're gonna see
relocation in the next couple of years. We talked a
(06:13):
lot about the A's this year. They're moving to Vegas
in five years. When we're talking about the Montreal Rays
or whatever they become, or the North Carolina Rays or
whatever they become, people are gonna say, boy, when was
that moment that we went to, Hey, the Rays are
definitively moving and nothing's gonna stop it. You're gonna point
(06:34):
to today because this was the most embarrassing thing that
Major League Baseball could possibly have. Here's your first playoff game.
And yes it's the rais of the range, but still,
it's the pageantry of the first playoff game. It's the postseason,
it's what you've been waiting for, and you get a
ball in the first images of the baseball playoffs stre
here's a ballpark fifteen minutes before first pitch, and there's
maybe four thousand.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
To be fair, if you were only watching it on
television and not through the glory of social media, you
were none the wiser. Well, because they're not gonna show it.
But I could, I could cover up the warts. Fact,
I could go find something on and whether it's Selena
Gomez's makeup bile, whether I can go and you know,
maybe it's maybe Leine, I don't know, well, but I
(07:15):
can find stuff to cover up my blemishes. If we're
in the old judicitional broadcast, you don't show the foul ball.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
You know, sometimes they show the foul balls, and sometimes
they don't, like why don't.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Wear that trailer?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
And then you stop it because because the.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Foul ball is gonna land where there are no fans
for dozens of miles. So no, no do we follow
that that don't follow the foul ball. Stay stand the picture,
stand the picture. Okay, we're gonna have this game in
Andy's room. I meant we are not well attended by
all the a AND's room. That's the game that had
been Andy's room.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I mean, like I really enjoyed Andy's room.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
By the way, it's so unbelievably embarrassing for baseball that
you have a team making the plays and I know
it's a day game too, right, Right, it's a day's
and they've had a good team for a while, right.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And then he wins a year.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
You should be all that.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You should be able to have built and cultivated a
fan base by now, because you have built in enough
of a culture of winning the last few years where
it's not, Hey, you guys are doormats, right, So you've
been able to build and still this is what you
get the first day, nineteen thousand people.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Well, people have to work.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I know people have to work, but no other stadium
has trouble filling for a day game. Hey, Twins had
to sell out, right, everybody else everybody Hill sells out.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Oakland would have had more people. Are you killed?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
My god?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Oplan would have had more people there.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Come on now, Well they would have disguised it as hey,
let's let's do this and tried to get the team
not to be a sellout in Oakland. If you show up,
you can keep your seat, like literally, you can take
the seat with you when you leave.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I mean, that's how embarrassing this is for baseball, and
there's certain moments where you know, we go down a
road that you can't turn.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Away stadium deal, right, So like what does that mean
in the grand scheme of I mean, come.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
On, this is one This is one of those Okay,
we can't, we can't, we can't have this is where
baseball gets involved and says, all right, this is this
is not going on, This is not going on now,
and we can't do this. We can't have this team
have this optic that nobody cares. Right, that's the worst thing, right,
because what baseball, with all the different changes they make,
what are the two things I always look at in
(09:11):
baseball that viewership is up and stands are full? And
this is of the two things they like to promote.
Here's your first playoff game and nobody is there, and
nobody is there. You couldn't get nineteen thousand other people
for tickets that were that were pretty cheap get in
wasn't wasn't outlandish because I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Know of it on the secondary market were you were
in heaven. It's not to be fair. It was about
fourteen hundred greater than their season average. Yeah, no, that's good,
that's goods good that's good. Fourteen hundred, fourteen hundred more
people went to this game, Yeah, than in the regular season.
It's a playoff game. Had we had another fourteen hundred people, yeah,
I mean Workland averaged ten thousand, fourteen hundred, fourteen h Yeah,
(09:55):
in Tampa Bay average just under eighteen thousand. That's a
game this year. This is where baseball gets involved and says, Okay,
let's push this deal, and and they and and we
we have to put them someplace else. But we also
get into the discussion overall of well, what does it
mean on the grand scheme of things? Asses and seats,
(10:16):
the optics they're in right, because we can see g
I and AI some people in there. If we really
want to do it, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Why didn't they do that? What do you think legitimately?
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Right?
Speaker 5 (10:24):
It's always been about what do you have enough time
to AI some people?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
How many they a couple hundred?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
We do? We had cardboard cutouts. I don't have a pandemic.
I don't have to go they pop up in rows.
What if they all looked like Boba fet?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
What if they if they were all trained, if they
were all jango fet, nobody's showing up to this game.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
You want to buy a seat a hard work cut
out of your favorite person in Star Wars Universe.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
No, they're just no, they're just all All the clubs
are all dressed like Django Fet and not sure some
of them.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
What you gotta have a couple with the kids, like
every fourth ones got to be but yeah, yeah, okay, okay,
that way it looks like families. Right, So you need
about fifth and baby yodas, so you every fifth one,
Mike is the kid handing out hats. The kids gotta
be handed out.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Here fourteen thousand Django FETs No, but four thousand combination
of four to five thousand between Boba Fet Baby Kid,
Boba Fett and baby.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
But let's go back to basics though, is we're always
talked about uh in all these sports it's about the
TV deals, It's about the TV product And is my
product lesson because some guy didn't get off his job
or out of his nursing home or whatever to go,
So I gotta call what it is. It's Tampa Saint Pete.
My my parents lived down there. They were not happy
(11:37):
by the end.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
They go to the game. Now why did they go?
Speaker 5 (11:40):
They could have gone to the game for free.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It would have been a couple of bucks.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
They could you could have sent them the money for that.
I had no problem doing it.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Could want to make the effort once you go to
the game, which is like everybody else in Tampa.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
No, but is if it's on TV. Yeah, am I going, Jason,
if i'm if i'm them?
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, but you know who can't go to Tampa?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Oh bike?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
After that comment?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
There he is seat seven.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
G got him?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, that's fine. And and I'll wear it.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I'll see you go and guys all at Lenny's. Uh,
when I get out there for the holidays. It's a
great breakfast place.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
You had.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
The thing is, you have to to go to a
sporting event.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Sometimes I get the I get where the philosophy of hey,
the TV experience is so well and and the and
the in person experience, they have to continue to amp it.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Upment of time.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
And I get I get that.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I get that you need to amp up what it's
like in a game. And to make people, you gotta
make people come out to a game. I understand that.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
But this was easy. This was well, how tough is
it to get tickets?
Speaker 7 (12:40):
No?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Pretty easy? Well, I like to kind of spread out. No,
you had your chance. Yeah, whatever, this is an easy
game to go to Angels game.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I'm gonna drive right up.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I'm gonna drive right up, and there's gonna be a
valet saying I'll park your car, I'll come may welcome
you to the stadium.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
When do you want to leave? Probably in the seventh inning?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
All right, just call down ahead and I'll have your
car ready for you. So no, But to the larger point,
just though of the television model and the revenues and
the reduction in ballparks, like a lot of that, it
all comes together, and look, I agree with you. Should
they have been packed? Absolutely? Should there have been trips
planned for folks to go to these games? Hell yeah,
(13:18):
it's a playoff game. However, the dollars and cents of
TV revenue has already made it to where you don't
have to try during the regular season. Right, this is
the natural extension of It's like, wait, we're still gonna
get to watch them, right, Yeah, it's all gonna be
on national TV. Yeah, it's not gonna be on one
of these crazy pay for platforms. Yeah, I'm not going.
(13:42):
I'm not investing my day. Yeah, that's a terrible stadium.
Let's see, let's accept for the touch pay. Let's see
how you can touch it with two fingers only two
fingers though.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Yeah, let's see.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, just in one way, not the other way. Let's
see if this announcement for the stadium and everything goes
forward like it was.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Oh no, no, just like Oakland, you have a bunch
of hiccups, just like the Museum of stadium proposals we
had here in Los Angeles before Ronkey finally put some
shovels in the dirt or Balmer decided to. I mean,
how many iterations of those did you go through for
twenty five thirty years? Likewise, the bullet train from here
(14:22):
to Las Vegas a lot of models every five years
off of some sci fi. Hey you know what, I
went and saw the creator and we could make the
cars all look like Lobot.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Today will be that day when when did they really
what did we know they were going to be the Montreal?
Today was that day? Today?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
With the Girl's Day?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Was that?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
You know what? It might have been during the Fanatics
had a big writ party vin Tops the other day
and Tom Brady showed up in a exposed Jersey, remember
because he was drafted by all those years ago. Right,
Maybe he doesn't want to be part of the Raiders
ownership North Carolina, Carolina Rays Carolin get Ready, or maybe
he brings the expos back exit out about a Fresco

So you're saying, Jason, you played dumb justin not hear
a song. Yes, and it worked for four hours your level.
It was a perfect game right there. I could be
a bye in the government right now, and oh my goodness,
I'd be the best spy ever. I mean, until they
threaten me with pain. I would tell them everything.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
But i'd be a pretty good spy if I wasn't,
if I didn't get caught the.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
Level that you stooped to just to hear that, Jason,
I will reward you with double the Tears for Fears tonight.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Just for that, Jason, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
You said, you said you don't stop man, Just take
the L, take the L and walk away. It's like,
just take the L.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Hey, Jason, what's the Mets on? I find that game?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
ANYWAYTCH think our manager right now, Craig Man. Yeah, but
Craig Councils are new manager managing the Brewers. He's wearing
a Mets hat in the dugout.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Look at him. He should not be letting him do that,
but he's wearing the Mets.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Not even marlins Man is watching that.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Marlins Man didn't even go to the Marlins.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
He didn't.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
How great is that?
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Isn't Marlin's man at this game?
Speaker 4 (18:20):
He is?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Now?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
They're hurting from?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Tears Fears celebrating its fortieth anniversary this year.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
A lot of other things other things celebrate their fortieth
anniversary too, I talking about Yeah, Marlins Man sitting right
there right now watching him as the UH Diamondbacks bat
here in the top of the ninth advisor. By the way,
UH and Marlins Man is at this game, not at
the Marlins game today. I'm gonna wear my Marlins gear
and be because I'm Marlin's Man, but I'm not going
(18:48):
to the Marlins game.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
There you go, that's just stupid. You need to change
your name.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
You think that's Marlin's Man playing chess whenever else playing checkers.
I'm not going to go to that game.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
On the guy next to him, though it looks like
a leopard print kind of thing going on.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
It is a very yellow jacket.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It TJS.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
I must have robbed you, Mike.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
It is a very Harmon sque jacket. Is Harmon's trying
to find it on the eBay right now.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I'm trying to figure out what it is.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
What's your brand?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
He's dming. Marlins Man, Hey, can the guy next to
you sell me? You know, legitimately were much?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
What do you want for it?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
We can go two degrees of separation. Isn't at Mallard's buddy.
We can probably get him there. Ben yelled at me
once for hanging up on Marlins man.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
We had him on the show once. I know he did.
He came on the show.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
We had him first, and then Ben thinks, I like

Speaker 1 (19:58):
The other game right now, the More are playing. They
are losing three to one in the eighth inning against
the Phillies. So Marlin's Man again missing what could be
a Marlins loss to watch what could be a Diamondbacks
win again Chess and checkers.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Well, what's funny though, is ra As we were talking
about him, suddenly he was looking at his phone as
if someone's alerting him that we were a mocking game. Uh,
let me just say this, Craig Council manage the Mets
Marlin's Man at this game. I mean, really, the Mets
own everything is he hand delivering it all right. Now
(20:32):
he's delivering council. He's on his private jem like.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
DeNiro in a midnight run. I got to get the
duke back to La step back.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, that's not an expensive package. By the way, that
guy weighs like five pounds.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
So we have had the war of words already fired
ahead of the game of the week in the NFL,
forty nine Ers in the Cowboys. Look at every the
Titanic matchup. It's the one of those Super Bowl blank
blank and a half games, two of the best there,
but it is the game that you're talking about. Two
of the biggest heritage teams in the NFL. And the
(21:06):
Cowboys are certainly off to a really good start. The
forty nine Ers are off to a fantastic start. And
Jerry Jones, Cowboys owner, did his weekly appearance on one
O five to three the Fan today and he talked
about going into this weekend, about how big this game
is and what the Cowboys need to do, and he
surprisingly said the road of the Super Bowl does not
go through Dallas.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
They are right now probably the most likely team to
go in Super Bowl, but in order for them to
get there, they've got to go by us, hopefully two
times if that's where it falls in the playoffs and
we're in the playoffs, of course, but the bottom line
is that you're playing the best. This is certainly you
(21:48):
don't need the game to tell you that you're playing
the best, but you need the game to show you
how you stack up. Gives the best.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Okay, So there was a very winding statement. It's a
big game. They have to go through us.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
But Jerry Jones realizing, oh wait a minute, Wait a minute,
wait a minute, I don't know that I should say
that right there.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Let me say change I got they got it.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Once or twice.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
If we make the playoffs, it'll be two times. Play
us now and again in the playoffs later on. We
played him in the playoffs the last two years, they'll
be twice. Today that be only play him once, but
that would be this week and then in a few
months if in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Where so you could tell in the middle of that
statement he went from Dallas Cowboys, here we go to oh,
wait a minute, Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, forty nine has led me.
Just back off a little bit, and you know it.
For Jerry Jones, that's a smart thing because right now
the Cowboys you want zero of the forty nine ers smoke.
You want none of their smoke at this moment in time. Certainly,
(22:50):
as the season goes on, things can change, right Teams
evolve over the course of the season. You don't know
how injuries are gonna come through. Likeau Is Christian McCaffrey
is gonna be healthy all year. He was healthy all
year last year. That's a big bonus because he hadn't
been healthy up until that point. You don't know how
teams are gonna go. We'll teams figure out. Brock perty
will brock Purty continue to be this way? Well, Dak
Prescott put it all together. You don't know how things
(23:10):
are gonna go. But right now you want zero forty
nine or smoke. You want none. Because this game's gonna
look like the NFC Divisional game last year, except the
Niners are gonna score more points. It's still gonna be
a struggle for the Cowboys to put points on the
board because their offense is limited compared to what the
Niners defense allows. They don't allow anybody to go off.
Nobody goes off of the Niners defense. No tell me
(23:31):
the last guy. Boy he had, what a day he had? No,
it doesn't happen. The Cowboys are gonna struggle and the
Niners are playing at the top of their game.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
This is gonna be blowout city and one of those
games where it's close for a little while, then a
couple of mistakes, Niners get out to a lead, and
suddenly by the fourth quarter it's here's a seventeen point
forty nine Ers lead with ten minutes left to go,
and it's over. That's how the game's gonna go. You
want zero forty nine or smoke right now.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
But what I love about it is I'll get into
that phase of we're no longer putting Brock Purdy as
this guy who's rock building right our guy Hayman with
his Brock Purty. Uh excitement, I should start wearing suits
and running around. My hairlines starting to look like Hayman's
at this point. But to that level of excitement that
(24:19):
we're comparing Purdy to Dak and where Purdy is on
the rise and whether or not he is elite Dak's Dak.
People are starting to accept there's some limitations.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
He's good, but.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Is he great?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Can he be great. Is it.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Just the health of the offensive line that's gonna set
that next level to this offense? Because we love Cede Lamb.
People are starting to love a little Jake Ferguson. What
else do you love there, Brandon Cooks, Michael Galla.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Against lesser competition. I like them against lesser It's one
of those teams where, hey, if they play a team
there better than boy, they look like their world beaters.
They play a team that says good or a little
bit better. Oh suddenly it's wait a minute, Doc is
really struggling. This is all not moving the football at all.
The holes aren't there for Tony Pollard like they used
to be. But this is a team like we saw
with Arizona two weeks ago. A surprise that it was,
(25:17):
but they came out and punched him in the mouth.
That's the entire style of the forty nine ers. They're
coming in for a street brawl. They're the brawling brutes.
Get well soon to Shamus with his shoulder injury and all,
but you can borrow his fedora and get out there
and get after it as a member of the forty
nine ers, because that's all they do. They want to
beat you up in the trenches and then Christian mccaffery's
(25:39):
gonna run over you. I mean, that's it's not finesse,
it's not style points. It's a we beat you up
and then occasionally we will hit you over the top
or find a way to work Ayuk or Deebo Samuel
Fantasy owners hoping for a much bigger return than they
got from Week four.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
But I look at it for the.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Cowboys, it it really is going to be interesting to
see how they try to attack that defense and keep
Nick bo said bay right and get Dak Prescott because
your offensive line is still banged up, so they're coming.
So how are you getting it out? You know, getting
the ball out? How are you gonna be able to
stand in the pocket, extend plays and maybe get your
(26:20):
guys some room down the field, because you really haven't
seen Ceenee Lambs piled up some numbers thus far, but
he's not had that game just yet to where he's
taking over and this isn't going to be it. So
you're gonna have to find one of these secondary guys
to step up for you.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
And here's the part of where, well, okay, what if
it's a measuring stick game. If I'm the Cowboys, I walk,
I walk into the rest of this week, and I go,
you know what, we're turning one hundred and eighty degrees.
This is just a game we're gonna go play and
then it's one of seventeen. Because they have put a
lot emotionally into the beginning of this season, and for
the most part, it's worked out well because you could say, well, look,
(26:59):
we won three big games, blow as we came in motivated.
The one game we were flat for, we lose to
the Cardinals. It's unforgivable, but you can say, hey, we
were up for all those games. Look how well we played.
The one game we were flat for we lost. We're
still mentally, we are still in a great spot. But
what happens when you ride that emotion and that's what
I told you about the Cowboys. My one worry about
the beginning of the season was that when you're the
(27:21):
every week can't be the super Bowl. And when you're
that high from the beginning of the season, what happens
when you lose. You go into this game and you
get your ass kicked, which is probably what's gonna happen.
Where do you go from there? Where do you go
from We're still the biggest, baddest team on the planets.
We just played San Francisco and they bet a thirty
eight to twelve. Where do we go from here? And
then things get really weird fast. I put zero stock
(27:43):
in this game. It's one of seventeen, and after this
week we have a long way to go. I don't look.
I tell Jerry Jones, I tell play this is not
a measuring stick game. This is not where do we say?
This is just one game and we go from there?
Because mentally, what can happen to you? You put a
lot in this game and again you look like you're
gonna lose.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Forget it like that in theory.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
But I also the Cowboys are a team right now,
and look ca Cedi Lamb did have his one hundred
and forty three receiving yards against you. But right now
they've played four teams that I think we can all
argue are try hard but aren't very good. The Jets,
the Giants. The Patriots said try very hard, but you
said tried the Giants, They're.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Just not good.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah, I don't know that very much. On the edge,
I'm not going Rodney Harrison, but there are some suspect
blocking efforts. But Giants, Jets, Cardinals came up and stung
him and the Patriots. Right now, those are four teams
that if you were doing your ranking of suck, there
(28:45):
are four teams down there with the Broncos and the Bears.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
So how good are the the Cowboys? Really?
Speaker 3 (28:52):
No paper? But right now, smoke a whole lot of questions.
No smoke, you don't want forty nine. You're locking Jerry
in a room. Then Jerry just be quiet, everybody, we
kick him out of the Hall of Fame. Oh that's
what happens.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
To I've been feeling tears for fears day. So okay, Jason,
you're playing a fellow here, I am.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
You mean the game of fellow. I used to like
playing a fellow. Fellow was fun.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
You had with the black pieces and the white pieces.
You have to surround everybody. I used to like it.
I really was starting to think about the Shakespearean play.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Yeah, I go.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I really thought I was going that deep mine by
the throat, the circumcised dog, and I smoked.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
Him thusly, which is actually from that's from a fellow.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
He just went a little darker than you thought.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It's a fellow. You don't mean Shakespeare classes I took
in college, all of them. Whatever the Shakespeare category in jeopardy, I.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Go stand back.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
I got It's it, stand back, everybody, I got it.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
I used to have any of the Shrew if only
you were Shakespeare in love?
Speaker 4 (30:52):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Midsummer Night's Dream?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
What an overrated?
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Who is houck?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
But I had the Giant and you know Shakespeare book right,
everything and notes and all, and at some point it
got shuffled with everything else. So now that my kids
were going into classes like, hey, do we still have
that book? And I'm like, ask your mo So was
he or was he not? A horrible person? Shakespeare? Oh god,
I hate Shakespeare. Well, he wrote sonnets about that, so
(31:19):
you have to you have to s you have to
read the sonnets. Yeah, or wait for the movie. I
think the movie is coming out soon. Shakespeare not in love? Shakespeare.
Did he have the forty nine ers going to the
Super Bowl?
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (31:30):
He did, he did.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
He actually had to forge. Yeah, he actually wrote a
sonnet about that. He end the night of the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
We are on the cusp of what's going to be
the best new rivalry in the NBA. We're going to
get it opening night, and we're going to get it
a lot this year. And the best part is both
sides don't mind talking. The Lakers and Nuggets have renewed
their war of words that began shortly after the Western
(31:56):
Conference Finals last year, when Michael Malone was very upset
at all the attention that Lebron and the Lakers were getting.
He was upset after the Lakers lose Game one, but
they played well at the conversation the next day was
about how boy, the Lakers almost got you.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
Why are you not talking about us?
Speaker 1 (32:10):
And Michael Malone not understanding that it's Lebron James. Lebron
James is the biggest deal in sports, of course, and
he was so bitter about it the entire time. It
it but it fueled them through the the Western Conference Finals,
which they won in a sweep, through the NBA Finals
into the off season. You know, after the the uh
(32:31):
Lakers lost, Lebron said, I may retire. Michael Malone goes
on the Pat McAfee show and says, I got some news.
I might retire after this year. So the Lakers are
living rent free in the head of Michael Malone, and
today you think, okay, well now we're back to business
as usual. The Lakers are getting ready for the season
in three weeks oh no, no, no, no, all that
stuff Lakers, Nuggets, that is at top of mind. Here's
(32:52):
Austin Reeves from practice today on the Yap Yap yapp.
And that's been going on from the Nuggets and Lakers.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
I think everybody knows it was fun it at us.
You know, they can do it indirectly, you know, if
they won. But you know, I think it was very
obvious to you know.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
The public guy.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
That's why everybody was talking about it.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yeah, you see stuff.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
Me personally, I'm trying my best to stay on social
media and look at all that stuff. To me, you know,
I go play every game the way. You know, I'm
gonna go play the first game against them. But I
think it, you know, adds a little bit of motivation
to you know, go play really well.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
And I'm gonna dunk on their face. Lebron and Malone
went at it on Instagram earlier this summer. Darvin Ham
went on the League Uncut podcast last month and said,
this blank ain't over.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
This is gonna be fun now. I wouldn't be doing
my job as.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
A sports talk radio host if I didn't say, hey,
there's a couple of bits of advice here. If I
if I'm giving advice here, I would tell Malone and
the Nuggets, what the hell is wrong with you?
Speaker 5 (33:56):
You're the champs.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Why are you punching down?
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Why?
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Why are you involved than this? Why are you going
back and forth?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Now, maybe it's fun for you, maybe users, But it
all stems of the fact that Michael Malone never felt
that the Nuggets were getting the attention they deserve.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
We're the chair.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Why are we not getting the attention because Lebron James
is the biggest superstar on the planet. Whatever, If you
had Lebron James, we'd be talking about you. I'm sorry,
you don't set Lebron James biggest star on the planet.
Sorry behind Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift, Lebron James. So if
that was the case, of course you'd be talking about you.
But you don't have Lebron. And it all stems from
the fact that I feel He's like, why are we
(34:33):
not getting more spoiled to the victor's go the spoil.
We're not getting enough spoils. But I'm telling you, dude,
you're the champs. Just shut up, go play. You're trying
to repeat, why are you getting involved in a war?
Words with the Lakers that what you need for a
team that is older, they need motivation. You need a
way to get out of bed in the morning. Right,
this is a team that you get to game sixty three,
sixty five. Why are you getting involved in this? Just
(34:54):
shut up and go play now? As a host, I
love it because it's going to be fun. But that's
my advice. Why are the Nuggets doing this?
Speaker 3 (35:00):
The other thing is he's got to look at the
state he's currently working in. You're third, Colorado? Oh sorry, right,
you're third. Yeah, you've got the dumpster fire until the
fourth quarter against the Bears. That is the Denver Broncos,
Russell Wilson, Sean Payton, everything else. Oh and that other
thing that's been going on in Colorado over in Boulder.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Do you believe?
Speaker 5 (35:21):
Do you believe?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Okay, I just ask him. I have to ask in
life after Love. Sure, but yeah, and in terms of
you know that process, Yeah, you're third in your state.
Then you get into the league. Sorry, you're Denver. And
Yokich is fun to a point, but that's only for
guys like me that like to watch him dance in
clubs when he's three ft taller than anybody, or ride
(35:43):
a sulky because he likes his horses. Nobody else cares.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
I'm weird.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
He said, I didn't touch a basketball. Do you know
who Dione Sanders is?
Speaker 5 (35:51):
No, just be quiet, go play.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
We're just gonna keep calling him Mike, be.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Quiet, Mike exit out about a Rasca exit Swollendome coming
up next.
Speaker 5 (36:02):
The Aaron Rodgers comeback could be close.
