Jene guy.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
No, no cut off jeans.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I think went out in the nineteen seventies, like I
think they would do well. I think they went out
when when Catherine Bach and the Dukes of Hazzard went
off the air.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I think that that's where that's where the cut. They
have a game worn pair of those up on the wall,
a game worn pair of Catherine Box short.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Why not movie memorabilia, television memorabilia. It's big stuff.

Got explained to millennials with that? All is well?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
I mean I don't know that they can air it anymore.
It used to be on CMT in the mornings. I
don't think they get to air that. Why don't they
get to witch controversy?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Now?
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Is there really you have to just don't you have
to kind of wipe out the logo on the general Lee?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Oh that's true.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yes, I don't sell the toys anymore. I can tell
you that there's no die casts that were made in
the last few years.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I watched Dukes of has Tod They replace the car
with a Gremlin. It's not the same show. This is terrible.
We're live the tire rack dot Com Studios, tirac dot com.
I'll help you get there at unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road has a protection over ten thousand recommended installers
tirac dot com.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
The way tire buying should be. They're replaced at generally
with a Prius.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The whole thing. It's too quiet. Can't even get a
good card chase going on with that.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Well, I mean you wouldn't know he's coming, that's true.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Yeah, if the thundering of the engine was the key
to get those chases going. If it's you know, a prius,
I mean, there's nothing there unless they back up, it would.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Be a much different show.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
There is that. You are right about that. It would
be a much different show. The Chase and Smith Show
with Mike Carbon live from the ti rack dot Com Studios.
We're going to the bottom of the ninth inning and
at least the Diamondbacks fans are having fun.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
A Guriel home run made an eleven five.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Guy jumps into the pool to get a ball and
he got it and the stands are going crazy, they're
high fiving. I'm like, they're losing by six runs. The
World Series is basically over. But Diamondbacks fans are having fun.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
They're happy to be there. That's just the best of
right there. Cool. I think that's cool. They're not defeated.
I mean, I wouldn't be having fun. We're losing.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
It's just in the moment. But once you're done, Like,
I'm still, you know, shaking my heads. Years years later,
after watching Bengals fans leaving Sofi Stadium after losing to
the Rams, they're just happy as can be. I'm like,
you had that game one, you're not upset.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Did you go to that game? Yeah, how'd you do?
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Well?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
We got killed, but I jumped in the pool and
I got a ball and everybody had fun.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Well, I mean, you hit that ball forever.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
I mean it's got a story to it, so that's good.
But yeah, it's just one of those you lose and
you were happy to be there.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Oh, we will have more in the World Series again.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Diamondbacks coming up their last three outs, Rangers looking to
go up three games to one in the World Series. Meanwhile,
the James Harden trade is all already killing the Clippers.
They are five out of eighteen from the floor to
start this game. They started one out of fourteen, and
they trail the Magic thirteen eight. James Harden is not
even playing this trade is already killing them. Paul George's
(04:13):
oh for six, Kawhi Leonard is oh for three. Uh,
this is not what you expected. And James Harden, it's
all his fault.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
It's ferocious magic defense is what it's all about.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
James Harden. It's easy to blame James jamesark. Come on,
it's much.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Easier if you can't blame him yet, sure it is,
sure it is he going to be in a suite
at so far when the Rams play next.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I know is that guy's name Blue Facers? Yeah, blue
face Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
This game is Look, this game is terrible actually because
you look at both teams are combined seven for thirty seven.
Good from the floor seven thirty shut up, seven for
thirty seven to start the game. This isn't the night
there was no baskets at at the Crypto dot Com.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Or twenty seven rebounds between teams and we're just finishing
the first quarter.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
You know, this is this is the NBA equivalent of
that Jets Giants game on Sunday. Look at all the
punts we had in the first half. Look at all
the rebounds we have here in the first court.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
So now we're going to do the analysis where we
just talk about the athleticism and the craftiness of obtaining
a rebound in crowded space. I mean, look at the
way he worms his body into the low post in
between two defenders to snatch that rebound. I mean really definitely,
really read the angle coming off the rim.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Uh So, yeah, we'll keep you updated because it actually
is happening.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
So you know, we'll keep you datd on this because
it's it's a game, it's happening, and it's on Halloween nights,
so we have this. But I do need to tell
a Halloween story that just happened.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah I did. Is it terrifying, Well, it's maddening. It's maddening. Yes.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
So tonight I'm doing those short show from home tonight
and my wife is in front of the house. She's
giving out candy. So we have the front of the
house all decked out.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
She lets she go. We go all out for Halloween.
My wife loves Halloween.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
She carved all the pumpkins she carved all the big
serial killers. We have a Jason pumpkin, and a Freddie pumpkin,
and Michael Myers pumpkin every year, Joe, Jerry, Joe, absolutely
Woody Johnson pumpkin.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I'm gonna do that next year. I'm just gonna do
all NFL owners.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Jerry Jones pumpkin and just have a voice behind it.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
And to represent the Bears. It'll be an empty suit.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
So she comes upstairs about a half hour ago when
Isaac Lowencron is doing the update and she says to me, Hey,
can I borrow your phone?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
And I said, yeah, Why what's up?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
She goes because we have a jumping spider that she
wants to try to set off. And so she says,
we have this jumping spider. It's a big spider on
the one that just goes you know, you walk by
and it kind of jumps up straight like it doesn't
doesn't go on you or anything.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
How many times does God?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh, they used to get me all the time. Now
not anymore, but he used to get me all the
time because during the day. Now I shut it off
because the worst because I have this thing that someone's
going to walk by and they're gonna get scared and
have a heart attack, and and we're going to be
on I don't want to be on theok for.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It, I'm not going.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
So he's already identified the geriatrics in his neighborhood knocking
her out walking during the day.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Not going to be on there. You knew that was
going to happen. Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So she comes upstairs because she wants to set it
off because people are coming by now, dressed up in costume,
visiting the house. She goes, and if I call your phone,
the ring from your phone, the sound will will set
it off, and I can.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Do it from far away. Said yeah, great, go ahead,
take the phone. She takes. What that's all.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
She came up the stairs. She came into the office.
She asked me that I gave her my phone. And
maybe this whole thing was forty five seconds or a minute, right,
maybe a minute. She goes back downstairs, and then you know,
a few minutes ago, I go and check and go
what's going on? And she's out of breath and she
slams of Michael Myers mask that she has she wear
when she gives out candy, and she slams Michael Myers
been on and go what happened? She goes, some blankers
(07:58):
just came by and stole all our candy. I said, what.
She goes, a car came by. Was just coming down
from getting your phone, and somebody came out, and it
was a silver car, and they ran out and they
saw that I wasn't there, and they grabbed the bowl
with candy in it and took it, and they got
in the car and they went and I chased after
(08:18):
them in the car and I go where you were
in Michael Myers Mas. She goes, no, No, I took
the mask off. I said, Okay, that would have been
pretty cool if you're chasing him down with Michael.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
I mean, it would have given you the level of anonymity, yeah,
afforded to you on such a holiday.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Chased you down with the machete for stealing a So
you don't want to go. So she goes, yeah, no,
And then I lost them down to the bottom of
the street and gone. They pulled up and then they
saw nobody there, and so they somebody ran out of
the car, grabbed the whole bowl of candy and took
the bowl right like.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Couldn't win the ball, couldn't just dump.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
The candy in there in their bag and leave. No, no,
we're taking the bowl too, And she goes, that's what
pissed me off the most.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
They go, yeah, now you got to get another bowl.
So it's like the candy. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It's a candy, it's a can, doesn't matter, it's okay.
But they stole the bowl. They stole our bowl. And
she chased them around and couldn't find them, and I said,
oh wow, this is not this.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Is not how I saw this Halloween.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
G Jason, not at all any chance it was the
same thieves who robbed the Colorado players at the Rose Ball.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
M Well, I'll let be checking, Sean. There's any jewelry
on the ground. If there is, we know it's the same.
Oh look there's a couple of well that's a diamond
studded earring right there.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
That could be this.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
By the way you described your your neighborhood, Diane talked
about Granddaddy's having money, so maybe someone there could take care.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Of that restitution for the bowl that was lost.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Now that's rough, I mean, because we in our one
we were talking about you know, the phenomenon of kids
just walking up and if there's nobody guarding said bowl
of candy, taking all the candy from said bull.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And if you weren't on the air, I would have
said you were responsible. I also drive a supercar.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yes, you began the show talking about stealing taking candy.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I didn't navigate it. And you drive a silver car.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Now, if I'm talking with AI my car and the
real My Carmen's out coming to my house stealing candy,
we're gonna have problems, are you AI?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Mike Carmen? Say is not awkward? Say something that's not awkward.
I never say anything awkward. Yeah, you do all the time.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You got the excellence of elocution. What the hell are
you talking of? You say all the time all the time. No, no, no,
you know you sound.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Like a repan. I bet you're a replicant. You're a
replican from Blaby.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
You know the world can only be so lucky to
have more of me.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Oh no, one of you is enough a parent, especially
if the other one of you is stealing candy from
my house.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Silver car.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And oh, by the way, you know where I live
because you dropped me off there the other night.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I think you're I know what neighborhood you're in. I
think irresponsible.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Something back at twenties in front of me, and I
would not be able to navigate my way back.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Your daughter is a newly minted driver. This is true.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You know where I live now for about a week.
This has never happened before. If you ever met a
cart before, I know you any But isn't that the
best cover?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Isn't that the best cover?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Many years of a work, someone who's the sweetest, nicest
girl in the word, you find out No, no, no,
That's how he's out stealing candy.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
That's how they described you know, when when buck Wheat
got shot, I kidd the kindest, gentlest, most wonderful.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Do you believe he killed Bugget?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yes, so I ever talked.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Talked about I I think I don't know about the
ty shirt Frossburg. I think Harmon's responsible. I think you
really think so. I think if we traced it all
the way back to Ellie, Ellie's gonna be chocolate all
over her face, the big Halloween bowl, wearing it on
her head.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Harmon, I can't believe you do this to me.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
That's a certain type of desperation. If they're coming to
your house to get candy, man.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Telling you, well, you know what, Come on, you know
you're getting candy. If you come to my house, you
really you're not gonna get candy. No, you come to
my house, we're getting candy.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
You're not gonna give anything good. You're gonna save it
all for yourself.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
No, no, no, no, no, showey out now hang on,
He takes out, filters out the good.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Still left over there.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I will say this in the in the bulls we
have we have the bowl of chocolate, and we have
a bowl of candy and a bunch of nineteen eighty
nine tops commons.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
If I here, would you would you like a Ron
Kittle second year card?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Not a rookie car.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
But I got the s O nineteen eighty fourth flear
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Hey, remember when we met ron Kittle in the hotel?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
That's right, we did meet ron Kittle. That's right, that's right.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
He said a lot of words that I've never even heard.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
No, if I'm giving if I'm giving out candy and
I have the two bowls in front of me, I
am definitely giving out from the bowl that's got the
nerds and the Twizzlers and stuff and the Lemonheads. I'm
not giving out from the ball that's got the Reeses
and the Three Musketeers and the and the Midnight Milky Way. No, no,
that stuff. I'm like, hey, if we wind up with
some of that left over, that's cool. There's all this
(12:49):
other stuff that's just sugar. Yeah, here you go, take
as much as you want to.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
But there you go.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I'm sure you're violating your parole by handing out candy
to kids though.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
No, well well you do. No no, no, no, no, no, no,
stop stop harm.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
It's the one who's doing something very illegal here with
having his daughter steal candy from my house.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Let's understand where that's at. But it was funny.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
My younger daughter was gonna go meet up with some
friends right movie night and whatever. So she's like, hey,
can we go to Trader Joe's. I was gonna get
a couple of things. They were gonna make their own
pizzas and whatever, and I wanted to get some some
mix to make some blondies and whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It's like a yeah, cool, yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
He said, no, go steal Jason's candy. That'll But she goes,
do we have any candy or anything here. I'm like, nah,
I didn't buy it because we would have eaten it.
She goes, you know what, fair point, Let's go steal
it from Jason. It was they would have been eaten.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, you're Halloween.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Now Halloween. I'll go steal it from Jason. There we go.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Now it is, and you're gonna go to prison for
the longest time. You're the mastermind of this.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Nah, that's under a thousand dollars worth of candy, California.
They ain't going anywhere near unless you try to claim
that bowl is worth like five grand. I'm gonna that
something from the Ming dynasty or some crass sir, sir?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Was it Wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
A an orange plastic bowl with pumpkins around at neck? Yeah,
but it had rhinestones on it all the way around
the outside and at the bottom was a diamond ring.
So I want all the Harmons to go to prison. Harmon,
both his kids, both his brothers. But wait, his brothers
are back in Chicago. Doesn't matter you You probably missed
getting them for something anyway earlier on?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
They caused no problems? We enjoyed the games. The local
establishments found a couple of really nice restaurants I hadn't
been to yet. So those go into the uh the
rotation down in the South Bay. So that's all good.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
If you didn't get Harmon's brothers for stealing the tractor
from Bears candy, get them for this.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Just get them for the candy part.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
And I had the greatest breakfast burritos on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
And I know one thing about a breakfast Burritoh. Yeah,
now you know a lot about candy because you had
your kids steal it from me.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Well, we'll see about eleven thirty, once I leave the
studio and get back home, we'll see what's left silver car.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I'll decide.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Get in the car and driving to see who stole

mounds that I have left over, and you guys enjoy
that that the lemon.

over fast.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Man.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
You know how it works here. I come in to
do a segment with you. By time I go back
to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee, all
those are gone. You got to search the backpacks and
the guys women in the editing bay.
Speaker 3 (17:29):

Pam is really Pam is really mad. She's why would
you deal that?
Speaker 5 (17:49):
In the people's How many times have we We've been
on air together almost almost a decade at this point.
My mantra in general, there's a lot of nice people
out there, but there's a great percentage that people that
just suck and hate other people and are only looking
out for what they can get instead of thinking the
collective and how you could make your team better, how
(18:12):
you can push things forward. No, give me all the
candy that I can get and your bowl.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Hey, I saw the guy going to this house the
other day. He was wearing a Mets hat. All let's
definitely come back and steal all the Halloween stuff when
it's time.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Let's gage your joint.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
They figured if you had a bunch of decorations on
the lawn, you had extra money for extra candy.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
You're lucky in break into your car and leave you
Jets tickets too.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah, hey, you're just lucky. The game is at our
place next week, Frostbury. Can you imagine just so far?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Phil, You'll be crying before it even starts.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
If Herbert's not even gonna play, he's gonna say, I
can't go up against that secondary.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
It's too good. I'm gonna I'm gonna have a phantom
injury too.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Would you barely beat the Giants?
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Man?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
You have to go to overtime, wasn't it? They didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
They didn't throw a pass the last three quarters, so
they were so cared.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Didn't even throw a pad? Why bother when it was working?
It wasn't working. Had the lead, No, they weren't sad
the lead into the final two minutes of the game.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
All they were doing was not turning it over and
punning it back to us.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
That's terrible.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
It was a long protracted battle of the position. And
then Bramdena with his surgically uh his knee desperately in
need of surgical repair, shaped the thirty five yarder.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
That's the tail of the tape. The tail of the
tape was the offense was so unbelievably terrible. Okay, unbelievably terrible.
The defense was able to do everything they needed to do.
The Giants scored ten points and we couldn't get more
than that on the board until we finally pulled it
out the end. That's not that's not.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Call.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
This is really you think that was a bad the
latest in a long line of suspect top benefitting you
and your teams. Right, right because, right because against the
Chiefs when we got all the calls against.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Them failed out Zach Wilson, we got all those Yeah, sure,
one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Uh me heart Rogers said, call this one as if
I threw it.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Meanwhile, look away from the guy who may or may
not have had his daughter come and steal Kenny from
the Lagmarhouse.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Uh. The World Series. Game four is over.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
The Rangers with stand a little bit of a Diamondbacks rally.
The Snakes bats get hot late. They get four in
the eighth thanks to a Guriel home run. They get
two in the ninth on a two run single, but
it's not quite enough. The Rangers win at eleven to seven.
They are one game away from winning the World Series,
and Corey Seger maybe one game away from winning his
(20:40):
second World Series MVP, joining us now in the hotline
to break it all down.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Nobody better.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Long time MLB insider check him out on Twitter at
John Morosi. It is John Paul Morosi, he of the
red hot Lions.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Pick'ems JP. What's happening, buddy?
Speaker 6 (21:01):
I am outstanding, my friends, I tell you what, And yes,
I will try to keep my Lions streak going. But
there is no streak right now quite like the Texas
Rangers on the road in the postseason. A record setting
ten straight road wins to begin the postseason, and here
they are now one victory away from the first World
(21:24):
Series title in franchise history.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
All Right, so let me ask you this, JP. We
watched this. We know Corey Seegers excellence. We'll get to
him in a second. If I said to you, complete
the sentence. The Rangers are up three to one over
the Diamondbacks, because what are you telling me is a
number one the one thing that stands out to you
the most the series. They're up three to one because
what they.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Score runs in bunches, and that was today certainly before.
I think the big headline is Idolis Garcia not being
a part of the lineup for tonight for the rest
of the series because of the oblique injury that he
sustained last night. This is a big strike kind of
a team. Now. They were able to obviously win the
walk off fashion in Game one in Texas, which looking
(22:09):
back you might say was the swing game of the series.
We just didn't really fully realize it at the time
because obviously it's a very different series if Arizona goes
up to nothing in Texas, and of course that the
Rangers that are able to come back and win that game,
and then you look at going forward tonight. I think
they won this game early with big offense, a couple
(22:31):
really pivotal at bats. I think that the second inning
walk it was the lower third of the lineup that
was able to swing things around and give the top
of the lineup like Semion and eventually Seeger chances to
do damage. I think it was so interesting guys that
in the lead up to this game we talked a
lot about without Garcia, will will the d Backs even
(22:52):
give Seeger a pitch to hit? And you could argue
that they made some mistakes early on, obviously against Seager,
but the reality is that strategy about how you control
Seeger becomes a lot more challenging if Semion is on
base and if Semon is doing damage, and certainly he
was doing both those things tonight, So this was where
(23:13):
you're a superstar free agent. Really, I think step forward
that they were missing Garcia, who in so many ways
has been the storyline of the Seats but very different
now without him, you had to have Seger and Semon
step up. They did, along with Andrew Keeney, who at
the start of his life with a tremendous outing in
his first World Series start. And right now the Rangers
(23:34):
are on the brink because of a lot of I
think big swings.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
About coming in the fact that we're saying the words
you know, bullpen game or you know, kind of the
all right, hoping to get three innings out of some
of these guys. When you get to a game four,
it's a new world order in Major League Baseball. So
the fact that he went five strong, I was very excited.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Well, well, exactly well, and it's it's something that we
are now celebrating, and I think it's something, to be honest,
The Commissioner has talked about looking at it and finding
ways to incentivize teams to have a full complement of
starting pitchers, if you will. Now, obviously there's other layers here.
Health is part of it. The attrition of pitching now
(24:15):
and how many injuries are so commonplace. But you look
around a lot of teams. The Dodgers are one of them.
The big market, high payroll Dodgers ran out of starting pitching.
The Yankees ran out of starting pitching. Even the Phillies
to an extent to have a large payroll that they
ran out of it too. They just didn't trust Tylan
(24:36):
Walker to start a game and they ended up starting
Sanchez in a game that went against them and turned
that series around, the National Championship Series. So there's just
a dearth of teams who have five strong quality starting
pitchers that you trust this late end of the postseason.
And to your point, you're exactly right that we are
(24:57):
in a lot of ways praising heany for doing something
we would have considered was commonplace, if in some ways
below the expectation of innings pitched, if you go back
a generation ago. But it's just a different game. I
think teams have a lot of data that suggests that
the bull penning idea works well, but only if your
guys come in and execute. And I think that the
(25:20):
Diamondbacks that they had a tremendously successful approach with this
exact same idea in Game four of the Championship Series
against the Phillies. But all it takes is one guy
in this case, maybe you'd say Castro early on to
not quite have it, and that sets everything off its
access and you never quite recover. They end up scoring
seven runs, which is a tremendous output, really, and they
(25:43):
got le Clerk into the game at the end, which
is also a small victory. But this is not the
way that it was supposed to go for the Diamondbacks.
They should have had a better pitch. Cannot give up
eleven runs and expect a win. A World Series game,
and as a result, they face elimination tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
In Game five, we know they're going to play the
rest of the way.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
We got the news before the get Noah Dolas Garcia,
who is worth ten men, didn't matter tonight.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
They still scored eleven runs.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Does this give you a little bit of pause maybe
the Diamondbacks and come back or is this going to
wind up.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Being a Rangers rollover.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
Well, there's a path for the Diamondbacks, there really is,
and they just have to find a way to win
Game five and then swing it back to Texas for
Game six and seven. I'll make this big picture point.
This is not just me trying to convince everybody to
tune in and remain engaged in baseball. But this series
is not over. And if you've been paying any kind
(26:38):
of attention to posies in baseball this year, you would
concur with the same thing. I think, broadly speaking out there,
the three to one series lead does not a series win.
I mean, there is a lot of baseball left. The
Diamondbacks were able to come back from a three to
two series deficit on the road and win in Philly
to claim the Pennant and their one win away from
(26:58):
that exact same situation presenting itself. And it wasn't like
they got completely outclassed in this game. I think early
on the bullpen game strategy failed. It failed, period. That's
what decided it. The Rangers cash in with people on base.
But the Diamondbacks it wasn't as though they were completely
inft offensively. They were able to score seven runs early on.
(27:20):
Maybe they weren't getting the right hit to the right time. Honestly,
I would say that the early game cought stealing had
a tremendous impact on things. With Martee, I think that
was a big momentum play early. I think similarly Semion
starting the game with I think an a pitch at
batt was a big moment early. These playoff games can swing,
even in a game that looked like it was a lot,
they swing on the smallest margins, and the Diamondbacks they
(27:44):
more than just a little chance here. I think that
they be the way that postedson ball is on this year,
how ordinary really Texas has been at home. There's this,
and then you don't have Garcia, you don't have Surezer,
there's a path and I think that's similarly why you
might say, Mike, and then that Okay, well, if you're
up three to one on the road, you're feeling really good.
(28:06):
You've got game six and seven at home. But just
given how unpredictable it's been for the Rangers at home,
given the way that things have gone, with the personnel
that they're losing right now, this is not anything resembling
a oh well, if we know, I will find a
way to want to win at home. For sure. I
don't think there's any of that false ends of security
right now going on for the Texas Rangers.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Get in there and finish the job.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Luka donc just did assure the Rangers fans that he
and Dirk Noavitsky will not attend the game with a
bunch of crying laughing emojis. Something we were talking about
a little bit. Or the series MVP. I think we
can agree, and that would give him two. Now you
look at his regular season stats where he's at now,
but the two World Series MVP bunch of all stars,
(28:48):
you start making cases of hey, does this start mat
and creeping towards Enshriment in Cooperstown?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Can we get that debate started?
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Well, big moments matter, and I'm a big believer that
big momentman's count extra, that put in counts extra. I
think what David Ortiz did in the postseason counted extra
certainly and is one of the reasons why he's in
the Hall of Fame. What YadA Ao Molina has done
in the postseason is a huge reason why I believe
he'll eventually be Hall of Famer. And now Seeger maybe
(29:18):
not quite the same number of games played. It's a
great first half of a career. This is his age
twenty nine season. I think we need to see a
similar level of production for him sustaining going forward. You know,
last year he was able to play on hundred fifty
one games. That's a huge number. It's interesting the year
that he his platform year whicked in Texas, he will
(29:41):
who played ninety five games that year, ninety five, and
of course the previous year pandemic short he played fifty two.
He's had some injuries at different times, but the last
couple of years in Texas, for star status, you go
thirty three homers and back to back years you lead
the league in doubles this year and then if you
become a two top I am a World Series MVP
(30:02):
in addition to being an LCS MVP back in twenty
twenty with the Dodgers. You're starting to build a case,
and so what I would say is not a locked
first ballot guy, and not even a lock for the
Hall at all at this moment. But you start to
say he's training in that direction. When you got that
kind of hardware through age twenty nine, if you can
(30:22):
sustain this for six, seven more years, maybe even five,
you start to wonder how different is his resume from
Chase Udley, who is someone that people especially he was
able to stay healthy now for the next five to
six years.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
He's on Twitter at John Morosi, That is at John
Morosi MLB Network Insider JP. As always, Buddy, appreciate your thoughts.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Man, we'll talk. This series goes on this week, Have
fun does right.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
Into tomorrow night. I'll come back and I'll let you
know my pick for the Lions in their next game.
How about that?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
All the red hot Lions and they're red.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
But we break down the chances of Craig Counsel being
the New York next manager.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I dig it like it's a real SHOWJB.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
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 3 (31:15):
What I want to hear It was Cream.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Live from the tire rack dot Com Studios.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Happy Halloween.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, we're gonna check in with Michael Myers coming up
next hour on the show again. We talked to him
earlier in the show. He's gonna check in with us
again later on that's cue. Did you get your bowl
back yet?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
No? No, no, no, as soon as looks case.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
You missed it earlier this hour, someone came by the
house when my wife was walk walked into the house
from giving out candy and stole the bowl with candy
in it.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, yeah, it was candy, Tye. I know it's not you.
It was a bowl filled with keenwa and seaweed. I
would say that was you. Yeah, I know it was you.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Uh So, if we get it back, if somehow we
get it back, or my wife is able to track
down the people who did it, I'll let you know.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I think you'll just find that bowl on your lawn
in the morning. Oh man, I'll tell you. I mean
people just drove by.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
She was in the house for a minute and she
goes back outside and someone just came up and just
took everything and went away.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
There was a better chance they find the dude's rug.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
The first college football playoff poll came out tonight, and
let me tell you what's wrong with it.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Syracuse wasn't on it.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Well, well, of course Syracuse at four and four needs
to be there. Nothing the first college football poll, Ohio
State number one, Michigan is number three, Florida State is
number four. Georgia, who was number one in all the
polls up till now, is number two. So it goes
Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, Florida State, Washington and Oregon are
(32:49):
the next two. This is how it should be is
Do I think Ohio State is the best team in
the country. No, but they have better wins than any
of the other undefeated teams. You have two wins over
top fifteen teams. So yeah, Ohio State should be number
one right now. Right now, it looks pretty simple. There's
no real craziness in it. Because if Georgia runs the
(33:12):
table the rest of the way like you think they're
going to, right, Florida State wins the acc like you
think they're going to the winner of Ohio State, Michigan's
getting into the playoff, and then Washington as long as
they win the Pac twelve, which they should because they're undefeated,
it's pretty easy. There's your playoff right there. So right now,
there's not a lot of drama. There's not a lot
(33:32):
of what about this that. No, you have the undefeated
teams one through five, You have the right one loss
teams next with Oregon five, then you have Alabama, you
have Texas right there after the rest of the top ten.
There's nothing wrong with this. I know Ohio State being
number one is a shock, but nobody else has really
beating anybody in the top four. They have the two
(33:52):
biggest wins. If Ohio State is not good enough, we'll
find out the next couple of weeks, they'll play Michigan,
we'll find out about them. But everything else is fine.
This is a I saw this, Paul, and I look
at it and I go, there's nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
Everything is good logic versus feeling, and certainly the SEC.
You look at their win loss record overall outside of conference,
and everything added up. But the best wins were Ohio
State and this is where you get into facts versus feelings, right,
the feelings of the to be the man. You gotta
beat the man. Now, that doesn't get you a whole
(34:27):
lot for discussion sake. No, you gotta jumble that stuff
up and then let it all play out for the
final month, right, you gotta have at some point to
argue at this point, and that's where you go. Washington
has the big win over Oregon by a field goal.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Guess what.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
They're right next to each other, and we recognize how
good Oregon can be at its best. So they're in
that prime position to creep creep up the rankings and
make some noise. If they take care of their business,
it's great theater. And this is where we get get
already here on Halloween night again, little dopey to announce
(35:03):
this stuff on holidays and in a crowded field.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
But hey, you know what, so be it.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
You know, look, look, I'm not the big I'm not
the biggest fan for saying, hey, why is this announced it?
But look, this is this is fine on here. This
is just a poll. It's not like they played a
World Series game on Halloween. Oh wait a minute, but
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Like where you would throw in a yeah, we'll do.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
That on Wednesday. Yeah, I mean, otherwise, what do we got?
We had some snowy maction. You got Phoenix beating the
hell out of the Spurs and Wembin Yama looking like
just a guy out there today, looking like the slender Man.
He's killing your box score if you went at it
in daily fantasy with him. Right now, we've got that
Clipper game. I think we hit the first shot of
(35:45):
the night just a couple of minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
So it all comes together.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
No, look, if I can look at this and say, well,
should Michigan be ahead of Florida State?
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Michigan hasn't played anybody, But does it really matter? You're
talking about still the rest the time to go. If
Michigan beats Ohio State, gets what Tulla will win better
than Florida State, they'll be three as long as they're eligible.
As long as they're eligible at the end, and.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Watch what that's the other thing is by ranking him
as you do, what happens? More discussion about everything swirling
around the program.
Speaker 1 (36:19):

ninety three where guys wore gene shorts and it was cool.
Speaker 2 (00:48):

Speaker 5 (00:48):
But I believe here and you're most likely a cutoff
Jene guy.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
No, no cut off jeans.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I think went out in the nineteen seventies, like I
think they would do well. I think they went out
when when Catherine Bach and the Dukes of Hazzard went
off the air.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I think that that's where that's where the cut. They
have a game worn pair of those up on the wall,
a game worn pair of Catherine Box short.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Why not movie memorabilia, television memorabilia. It's big stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Man, you're the memorabilia guy. Go ahead, get them that.
Speaker 5 (01:19):

Andre the Giants Jockstrap the shares of that.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, so there you go.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I got try try to find some of Catherine Box shorts.
The Duke's hass, right, Alex Tiger is going, what is
dukes of Hazard?

Well, I don't understand what is that? What is that?
Got explained to millennials with that? All is well?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
I mean I don't know that they can air it anymore.
It used to be on CMT in the mornings. I
don't think they get to air that. Why don't they
get to witch controversy?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Now?
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Is there really you have to just don't you have
to kind of wipe out the logo on the general Lee?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Oh that's true.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yes, I don't sell the toys anymore. I can tell
you that there's no die casts that were made in
the last few years.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I watched Dukes of has Tod They replace the car
with a Gremlin. It's not the same show. This is terrible.
We're live the tire rack dot Com Studios, tirac dot com.
I'll help you get there at unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road has a protection over ten thousand recommended installers
tirac dot com.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
The way tire buying should be. They're replaced at generally
with a Prius.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The whole thing. It's too quiet. Can't even get a
good card chase going on with that.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Well, I mean you wouldn't know he's coming, that's true.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Yeah, if the thundering of the engine was the key
to get those chases going. If it's you know, a prius,
I mean, there's nothing there unless they back up, it would.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Be a much different show.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
There is that. You are right about that. It would
be a much different show. The Chase and Smith Show
with Mike Carbon live from the ti rack dot Com Studios.
We're going to the bottom of the ninth inning and
at least the Diamondbacks fans are having fun.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
A Guriel home run made an eleven five.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Guy jumps into the pool to get a ball and
he got it and the stands are going crazy, they're
high fiving. I'm like, they're losing by six runs. The
World Series is basically over. But Diamondbacks fans are having fun.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
They're happy to be there. That's just the best of
right there. Cool. I think that's cool. They're not defeated.
I mean, I wouldn't be having fun. We're losing.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
It's just in the moment. But once you're done, Like,
I'm still, you know, shaking my heads. Years years later,
after watching Bengals fans leaving Sofi Stadium after losing to
the Rams, they're just happy as can be. I'm like,
you had that game one, you're not upset.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Did you go to that game? Yeah, how'd you do?
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Well?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
We got killed, but I jumped in the pool and
I got a ball and everybody had fun.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Well, I mean, you hit that ball forever.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
I mean it's got a story to it, so that's good.
But yeah, it's just one of those you lose and
you were happy to be there.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Oh, we will have more in the World Series again.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Diamondbacks coming up their last three outs, Rangers looking to
go up three games to one in the World Series. Meanwhile,
the James Harden trade is all already killing the Clippers.
They are five out of eighteen from the floor to
start this game. They started one out of fourteen, and
they trail the Magic thirteen eight. James Harden is not
even playing this trade is already killing them. Paul George's
(04:13):
oh for six, Kawhi Leonard is oh for three. Uh,
this is not what you expected. And James Harden, it's
all his fault.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
It's ferocious magic defense is what it's all about.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
James Harden. It's easy to blame James jamesark. Come on,
it's much.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Easier if you can't blame him yet, sure it is,
sure it is he going to be in a suite
at so far when the Rams play next.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I know is that guy's name Blue Facers? Yeah, blue
face Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
This game is Look, this game is terrible actually because
you look at both teams are combined seven for thirty seven.
Good from the floor seven thirty shut up, seven for
thirty seven to start the game. This isn't the night
there was no baskets at at the Crypto dot Com.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Or twenty seven rebounds between teams and we're just finishing
the first quarter.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
You know, this is this is the NBA equivalent of
that Jets Giants game on Sunday. Look at all the
punts we had in the first half. Look at all
the rebounds we have here in the first court.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
So now we're going to do the analysis where we
just talk about the athleticism and the craftiness of obtaining
a rebound in crowded space. I mean, look at the
way he worms his body into the low post in
between two defenders to snatch that rebound. I mean really definitely,
really read the angle coming off the rim.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Uh So, yeah, we'll keep you updated because it actually
is happening.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
So you know, we'll keep you datd on this because
it's it's a game, it's happening, and it's on Halloween nights,
so we have this. But I do need to tell
a Halloween story that just happened.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah I did. Is it terrifying, Well, it's maddening. It's maddening. Yes.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
So tonight I'm doing those short show from home tonight
and my wife is in front of the house. She's
giving out candy. So we have the front of the
house all decked out.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
She lets she go. We go all out for Halloween.
My wife loves Halloween.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
She carved all the pumpkins she carved all the big
serial killers. We have a Jason pumpkin, and a Freddie pumpkin,
and Michael Myers pumpkin every year, Joe, Jerry, Joe, absolutely
Woody Johnson pumpkin.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I'm gonna do that next year. I'm just gonna do
all NFL owners.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Jerry Jones pumpkin and just have a voice behind it.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
And to represent the Bears. It'll be an empty suit.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
So she comes upstairs about a half hour ago when
Isaac Lowencron is doing the update and she says to me, Hey,
can I borrow your phone?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
And I said, yeah, Why what's up?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
She goes because we have a jumping spider that she
wants to try to set off. And so she says,
we have this jumping spider. It's a big spider on
the one that just goes you know, you walk by
and it kind of jumps up straight like it doesn't
doesn't go on you or anything.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
How many times does God?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh, they used to get me all the time. Now
not anymore, but he used to get me all the
time because during the day. Now I shut it off
because the worst because I have this thing that someone's
going to walk by and they're gonna get scared and
have a heart attack, and and we're going to be
on I don't want to be on theok for.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It, I'm not going.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
So he's already identified the geriatrics in his neighborhood knocking
her out walking during the day.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Not going to be on there. You knew that was
going to happen. Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So she comes upstairs because she wants to set it
off because people are coming by now, dressed up in costume,
visiting the house. She goes, and if I call your phone,
the ring from your phone, the sound will will set
it off, and I can.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Do it from far away. Said yeah, great, go ahead,
take the phone. She takes. What that's all.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
She came up the stairs. She came into the office.
She asked me that I gave her my phone. And
maybe this whole thing was forty five seconds or a minute, right,
maybe a minute. She goes back downstairs, and then you know,
a few minutes ago, I go and check and go
what's going on? And she's out of breath and she
slams of Michael Myers mask that she has she wear
when she gives out candy, and she slams Michael Myers
been on and go what happened? She goes, some blankers
(07:58):
just came by and stole all our candy. I said, what.
She goes, a car came by. Was just coming down
from getting your phone, and somebody came out, and it
was a silver car, and they ran out and they
saw that I wasn't there, and they grabbed the bowl
with candy in it and took it, and they got
in the car and they went and I chased after
(08:18):
them in the car and I go where you were
in Michael Myers Mas. She goes, no, No, I took
the mask off. I said, Okay, that would have been
pretty cool if you're chasing him down with Michael.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
I mean, it would have given you the level of anonymity, yeah,
afforded to you on such a holiday.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Chased you down with the machete for stealing a So
you don't want to go. So she goes, yeah, no,
And then I lost them down to the bottom of
the street and gone. They pulled up and then they
saw nobody there, and so they somebody ran out of
the car, grabbed the whole bowl of candy and took
the bowl right like.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Couldn't win the ball, couldn't just dump.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
The candy in there in their bag and leave. No, no,
we're taking the bowl too, And she goes, that's what
pissed me off the most.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
They go, yeah, now you got to get another bowl.
So it's like the candy. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It's a candy, it's a can, doesn't matter, it's okay.
But they stole the bowl. They stole our bowl. And
she chased them around and couldn't find them, and I said,
oh wow, this is not this.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Is not how I saw this Halloween.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
G Jason, not at all any chance it was the
same thieves who robbed the Colorado players at the Rose Ball.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
M Well, I'll let be checking, Sean. There's any jewelry
on the ground. If there is, we know it's the same.
Oh look there's a couple of well that's a diamond
studded earring right there.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
That could be this.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
By the way you described your your neighborhood, Diane talked
about Granddaddy's having money, so maybe someone there could take care.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Of that restitution for the bowl that was lost.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Now that's rough, I mean, because we in our one
we were talking about you know, the phenomenon of kids
just walking up and if there's nobody guarding said bowl
of candy, taking all the candy from said bull.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And if you weren't on the air, I would have
said you were responsible. I also drive a supercar.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yes, you began the show talking about stealing taking candy.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I didn't navigate it. And you drive a silver car.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Now, if I'm talking with AI my car and the
real My Carmen's out coming to my house stealing candy,
we're gonna have problems, are you AI?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Mike Carmen? Say is not awkward? Say something that's not awkward.
I never say anything awkward. Yeah, you do all the time.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You got the excellence of elocution. What the hell are
you talking of? You say all the time all the time. No, no, no,
you know you sound.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Like a repan. I bet you're a replicant. You're a
replican from Blaby.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
You know the world can only be so lucky to
have more of me.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Oh no, one of you is enough a parent, especially
if the other one of you is stealing candy from
my house.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Silver car.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And oh, by the way, you know where I live
because you dropped me off there the other night.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I think you're I know what neighborhood you're in. I
think irresponsible.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Something back at twenties in front of me, and I
would not be able to navigate my way back.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Your daughter is a newly minted driver. This is true.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You know where I live now for about a week.
This has never happened before. If you ever met a
cart before, I know you any But isn't that the
best cover?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Isn't that the best cover?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Many years of a work, someone who's the sweetest, nicest
girl in the word, you find out No, no, no,
That's how he's out stealing candy.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
That's how they described you know, when when buck Wheat
got shot, I kidd the kindest, gentlest, most wonderful.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Do you believe he killed Bugget?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yes, so I ever talked.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Talked about I I think I don't know about the
ty shirt Frossburg. I think Harmon's responsible. I think you
really think so. I think if we traced it all
the way back to Ellie, Ellie's gonna be chocolate all
over her face, the big Halloween bowl, wearing it on
her head.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Harmon, I can't believe you do this to me.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
That's a certain type of desperation. If they're coming to
your house to get candy, man.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Telling you, well, you know what, Come on, you know
you're getting candy. If you come to my house, you
really you're not gonna get candy. No, you come to
my house, we're getting candy.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
You're not gonna give anything good. You're gonna save it
all for yourself.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
No, no, no, no, no, showey out now hang on,
He takes out, filters out the good.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Still left over there.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I will say this in the in the bulls we
have we have the bowl of chocolate, and we have
a bowl of candy and a bunch of nineteen eighty
nine tops commons.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
If I here, would you would you like a Ron
Kittle second year card?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Not a rookie car.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
But I got the s O nineteen eighty fourth flear
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Hey, remember when we met ron Kittle in the hotel?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
That's right, we did meet ron Kittle. That's right, that's right.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
He said a lot of words that I've never even heard.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
No, if I'm giving if I'm giving out candy and
I have the two bowls in front of me, I
am definitely giving out from the bowl that's got the
nerds and the Twizzlers and stuff and the Lemonheads. I'm
not giving out from the ball that's got the Reeses
and the Three Musketeers and the and the Midnight Milky Way. No, no,
that stuff. I'm like, hey, if we wind up with
some of that left over, that's cool. There's all this
(12:49):
other stuff that's just sugar. Yeah, here you go, take
as much as you want to.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
But there you go.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I'm sure you're violating your parole by handing out candy
to kids though.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
No, well well you do. No no, no, no, no, no, no,
stop stop harm.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
It's the one who's doing something very illegal here with
having his daughter steal candy from my house.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Let's understand where that's at. But it was funny.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
My younger daughter was gonna go meet up with some
friends right movie night and whatever. So she's like, hey,
can we go to Trader Joe's. I was gonna get
a couple of things. They were gonna make their own
pizzas and whatever, and I wanted to get some some
mix to make some blondies and whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It's like a yeah, cool, yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
He said, no, go steal Jason's candy. That'll But she goes,
do we have any candy or anything here. I'm like, nah,
I didn't buy it because we would have eaten it.
She goes, you know what, fair point, Let's go steal
it from Jason. It was they would have been eaten.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, you're Halloween.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Now Halloween. I'll go steal it from Jason. There we go.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Now it is, and you're gonna go to prison for
the longest time. You're the mastermind of this.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Nah, that's under a thousand dollars worth of candy, California.
They ain't going anywhere near unless you try to claim
that bowl is worth like five grand. I'm gonna that
something from the Ming dynasty or some crass sir, sir?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Was it Wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
A an orange plastic bowl with pumpkins around at neck? Yeah,
but it had rhinestones on it all the way around
the outside and at the bottom was a diamond ring.
So I want all the Harmons to go to prison. Harmon,
both his kids, both his brothers. But wait, his brothers
are back in Chicago. Doesn't matter you You probably missed
getting them for something anyway earlier on?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
They caused no problems? We enjoyed the games. The local
establishments found a couple of really nice restaurants I hadn't
been to yet. So those go into the uh the
rotation down in the South Bay. So that's all good.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
If you didn't get Harmon's brothers for stealing the tractor
from Bears candy, get them for this.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Just get them for the candy part.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
And I had the greatest breakfast burritos on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
And I know one thing about a breakfast Burritoh. Yeah,
now you know a lot about candy because you had
your kids steal it from me.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Well, we'll see about eleven thirty, once I leave the
studio and get back home, we'll see what's left silver car.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I'll decide.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Well, let's show up with a lot of pretzels, chocolate

Speaker 3 (16:03):
You know what, new home, new bowl. Let's get a
new ball.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Well, I mean, look, it's a passage of time that
you know what, you exercise demons of anything of the
prior house. You moved into a new spot, a new neighborhood.
Someone decided they liked your old bull. Now if you
looked it up on eBay and you found out it
was some vintage.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Piece, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're salty, but you know, And

you guys should really be upset. But no, well, well,
first of all, I still don't know it was.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I just liked the idea.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Pay him running around and go in the car and
try to chase people down.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Get in the car and driving to see who stole
the stuff. Insane.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
I mean, it's it's Halloween. It's supposed to be insanity. Eh,
that's a little unhand. You're still crying about this smith.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, well here's the thing. You guys should be pissed too,
because what.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Do I do every year?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Whatever leftover candy I have I bring in for all
of you guys, right, The next day is always I.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Hey even want to catch size? To day is always
candy day? Right?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
But you always take all the chocolate out and anything good. No,
I don't need a bunch of smotties, not.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Just I just I bring all the almond joy and
mounds that I have left over, and you guys enjoy
that that the lemon.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
I do enjoy an almond joy, but that's usually picked
over fast.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Man.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
You know how it works here. I come in to
do a segment with you. By time I go back
to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee, all
those are gone. You got to search the backpacks and
the guys women in the editing bay.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Man, come on, are gone guys in the editing BA.
You're just gregging.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I would I would now now I know, I could
just take the bowl. They would take the ball. I'll
take all of Jason because that would just be one
of those little bowls. Uh, you know from the kitchen there.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
I'll tell you, man, I cannot believe you are so salty. Well,
Pam is really Pam is really mad. She's why would
you deal that?
Speaker 5 (17:49):
In the people's How many times have we We've been
on air together almost almost a decade at this point.
My mantra in general, there's a lot of nice people
out there, but there's a great percentage that people that
just suck and hate other people and are only looking
out for what they can get instead of thinking the
collective and how you could make your team better, how
(18:12):
you can push things forward. No, give me all the
candy that I can get and your bowl.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Hey, I saw the guy going to this house the
other day. He was wearing a Mets hat. All let's
definitely come back and steal all the Halloween stuff when
it's time.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Let's gage your joint.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
They figured if you had a bunch of decorations on
the lawn, you had extra money for extra candy.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
You're lucky in break into your car and leave you
Jets tickets too.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah, hey, you're just lucky. The game is at our
place next week, Frostbury. Can you imagine just so far?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Phil, You'll be crying before it even starts.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
If Herbert's not even gonna play, he's gonna say, I
can't go up against that secondary.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
It's too good. I'm gonna I'm gonna have a phantom
injury too.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Would you barely beat the Giants?
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Man?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
You have to go to overtime, wasn't it? They didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
They didn't throw a pass the last three quarters, so
they were so cared.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Didn't even throw a pad? Why bother when it was working?
It wasn't working. Had the lead, No, they weren't sad
the lead into the final two minutes of the game.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
All they were doing was not turning it over and
punning it back to us.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
That's terrible.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
It was a long protracted battle of the position. And
then Bramdena with his surgically uh his knee desperately in
need of surgical repair, shaped the thirty five yarder.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
That's the tail of the tape. The tail of the
tape was the offense was so unbelievably terrible. Okay, unbelievably terrible.
The defense was able to do everything they needed to do.
The Giants scored ten points and we couldn't get more
than that on the board until we finally pulled it
out the end. That's not that's not.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Call.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
This is really you think that was a bad the
latest in a long line of suspect top benefitting you
and your teams. Right, right because, right because against the
Chiefs when we got all the calls against.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Them failed out Zach Wilson, we got all those Yeah, sure,
one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Uh me heart Rogers said, call this one as if
I threw it.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Meanwhile, look away from the guy who may or may
not have had his daughter come and steal Kenny from
the Lagmarhouse.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Uh. The World Series. Game four is over.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
The Rangers with stand a little bit of a Diamondbacks rally.
The Snakes bats get hot late. They get four in
the eighth thanks to a Guriel home run. They get
two in the ninth on a two run single, but
it's not quite enough. The Rangers win at eleven to seven.
They are one game away from winning the World Series,
and Corey Seger maybe one game away from winning his
(20:40):
second World Series MVP, joining us now in the hotline
to break it all down.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Nobody better.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Long time MLB insider check him out on Twitter at
John Morosi. It is John Paul Morosi, he of the
red hot Lions.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Pick'ems JP. What's happening, buddy?
Speaker 6 (21:01):
I am outstanding, my friends, I tell you what, And yes,
I will try to keep my Lions streak going. But
there is no streak right now quite like the Texas
Rangers on the road in the postseason. A record setting
ten straight road wins to begin the postseason, and here
they are now one victory away from the first World
(21:24):
Series title in franchise history.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
All Right, so let me ask you this, JP. We
watched this. We know Corey Seegers excellence. We'll get to
him in a second. If I said to you, complete
the sentence. The Rangers are up three to one over
the Diamondbacks, because what are you telling me is a
number one the one thing that stands out to you
the most the series. They're up three to one because
what they.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Score runs in bunches, and that was today certainly before.
I think the big headline is Idolis Garcia not being
a part of the lineup for tonight for the rest
of the series because of the oblique injury that he
sustained last night. This is a big strike kind of
a team. Now. They were able to obviously win the
walk off fashion in Game one in Texas, which looking
(22:09):
back you might say was the swing game of the series.
We just didn't really fully realize it at the time
because obviously it's a very different series if Arizona goes
up to nothing in Texas, and of course that the
Rangers that are able to come back and win that game,
and then you look at going forward tonight. I think
they won this game early with big offense, a couple
(22:31):
really pivotal at bats. I think that the second inning
walk it was the lower third of the lineup that
was able to swing things around and give the top
of the lineup like Semion and eventually Seeger chances to
do damage. I think it was so interesting guys that
in the lead up to this game we talked a
lot about without Garcia, will will the d Backs even
(22:52):
give Seeger a pitch to hit? And you could argue
that they made some mistakes early on, obviously against Seager,
but the reality is that strategy about how you control
Seeger becomes a lot more challenging if Semion is on
base and if Semon is doing damage, and certainly he
was doing both those things tonight, So this was where
(23:13):
you're a superstar free agent. Really, I think step forward
that they were missing Garcia, who in so many ways
has been the storyline of the Seats but very different
now without him, you had to have Seger and Semon
step up. They did, along with Andrew Keeney, who at
the start of his life with a tremendous outing in
his first World Series start. And right now the Rangers
(23:34):
are on the brink because of a lot of I
think big swings.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
About coming in the fact that we're saying the words
you know, bullpen game or you know, kind of the
all right, hoping to get three innings out of some
of these guys. When you get to a game four,
it's a new world order in Major League Baseball. So
the fact that he went five strong, I was very excited.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Well, well, exactly well, and it's it's something that we
are now celebrating, and I think it's something, to be honest,
The Commissioner has talked about looking at it and finding
ways to incentivize teams to have a full complement of
starting pitchers, if you will. Now, obviously there's other layers here.
Health is part of it. The attrition of pitching now
(24:15):
and how many injuries are so commonplace. But you look
around a lot of teams. The Dodgers are one of them.
The big market, high payroll Dodgers ran out of starting pitching.
The Yankees ran out of starting pitching. Even the Phillies
to an extent to have a large payroll that they
ran out of it too. They just didn't trust Tylan
(24:36):
Walker to start a game and they ended up starting
Sanchez in a game that went against them and turned
that series around, the National Championship Series. So there's just
a dearth of teams who have five strong quality starting
pitchers that you trust this late end of the postseason.
And to your point, you're exactly right that we are
(24:57):
in a lot of ways praising heany for doing something
we would have considered was commonplace, if in some ways
below the expectation of innings pitched, if you go back
a generation ago. But it's just a different game. I
think teams have a lot of data that suggests that
the bull penning idea works well, but only if your
guys come in and execute. And I think that the
(25:20):
Diamondbacks that they had a tremendously successful approach with this
exact same idea in Game four of the Championship Series
against the Phillies. But all it takes is one guy
in this case, maybe you'd say Castro early on to
not quite have it, and that sets everything off its
access and you never quite recover. They end up scoring
seven runs, which is a tremendous output, really, and they
(25:43):
got le Clerk into the game at the end, which
is also a small victory. But this is not the
way that it was supposed to go for the Diamondbacks.
They should have had a better pitch. Cannot give up
eleven runs and expect a win. A World Series game,
and as a result, they face elimination tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
In Game five, we know they're going to play the
rest of the way.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
We got the news before the get Noah Dolas Garcia,
who is worth ten men, didn't matter tonight.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
They still scored eleven runs.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Does this give you a little bit of pause maybe
the Diamondbacks and come back or is this going to
wind up.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Being a Rangers rollover.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
Well, there's a path for the Diamondbacks, there really is,
and they just have to find a way to win
Game five and then swing it back to Texas for
Game six and seven. I'll make this big picture point.
This is not just me trying to convince everybody to
tune in and remain engaged in baseball. But this series
is not over. And if you've been paying any kind
(26:38):
of attention to posies in baseball this year, you would
concur with the same thing. I think, broadly speaking out there,
the three to one series lead does not a series win.
I mean, there is a lot of baseball left. The
Diamondbacks were able to come back from a three to
two series deficit on the road and win in Philly
to claim the Pennant and their one win away from
(26:58):
that exact same situation presenting itself. And it wasn't like
they got completely outclassed in this game. I think early
on the bullpen game strategy failed. It failed, period. That's
what decided it. The Rangers cash in with people on base.
But the Diamondbacks it wasn't as though they were completely
inft offensively. They were able to score seven runs early on.
(27:20):
Maybe they weren't getting the right hit to the right time. Honestly,
I would say that the early game cought stealing had
a tremendous impact on things. With Martee, I think that
was a big momentum play early. I think similarly Semion
starting the game with I think an a pitch at
batt was a big moment early. These playoff games can swing,
even in a game that looked like it was a lot,
they swing on the smallest margins, and the Diamondbacks they
(27:44):
more than just a little chance here. I think that
they be the way that postedson ball is on this year,
how ordinary really Texas has been at home. There's this,
and then you don't have Garcia, you don't have Surezer,
there's a path and I think that's similarly why you
might say, Mike, and then that Okay, well, if you're
up three to one on the road, you're feeling really good.
(28:06):
You've got game six and seven at home. But just
given how unpredictable it's been for the Rangers at home,
given the way that things have gone, with the personnel
that they're losing right now, this is not anything resembling
a oh well, if we know, I will find a
way to want to win at home. For sure. I
don't think there's any of that false ends of security
right now going on for the Texas Rangers.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Get in there and finish the job.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Luka donc just did assure the Rangers fans that he
and Dirk Noavitsky will not attend the game with a
bunch of crying laughing emojis. Something we were talking about
a little bit. Or the series MVP. I think we
can agree, and that would give him two. Now you
look at his regular season stats where he's at now,
but the two World Series MVP bunch of all stars,
(28:48):
you start making cases of hey, does this start mat
and creeping towards Enshriment in Cooperstown?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Can we get that debate started?
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Well, big moments matter, and I'm a big believer that
big momentman's count extra, that put in counts extra. I
think what David Ortiz did in the postseason counted extra
certainly and is one of the reasons why he's in
the Hall of Fame. What YadA Ao Molina has done
in the postseason is a huge reason why I believe
he'll eventually be Hall of Famer. And now Seeger maybe
(29:18):
not quite the same number of games played. It's a
great first half of a career. This is his age
twenty nine season. I think we need to see a
similar level of production for him sustaining going forward. You know,
last year he was able to play on hundred fifty
one games. That's a huge number. It's interesting the year
that he his platform year whicked in Texas, he will
(29:41):
who played ninety five games that year, ninety five, and
of course the previous year pandemic short he played fifty two.
He's had some injuries at different times, but the last
couple of years in Texas, for star status, you go
thirty three homers and back to back years you lead
the league in doubles this year and then if you
become a two top I am a World Series MVP
(30:02):
in addition to being an LCS MVP back in twenty
twenty with the Dodgers. You're starting to build a case,
and so what I would say is not a locked
first ballot guy, and not even a lock for the
Hall at all at this moment. But you start to
say he's training in that direction. When you got that
kind of hardware through age twenty nine, if you can
(30:22):
sustain this for six, seven more years, maybe even five,
you start to wonder how different is his resume from
Chase Udley, who is someone that people especially he was
able to stay healthy now for the next five to
six years.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
He's on Twitter at John Morosi, That is at John
Morosi MLB Network Insider JP. As always, Buddy, appreciate your thoughts.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Man, we'll talk. This series goes on this week, Have
fun does right.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
Into tomorrow night. I'll come back and I'll let you
know my pick for the Lions in their next game.
How about that?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
All the red hot Lions and they're red.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
But we break down the chances of Craig Counsel being
the New York next manager.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I dig it like it's a real SHOWJB.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
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 3 (31:15):
What I want to hear It was Cream.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Live from the tire rack dot Com Studios.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Happy Halloween.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, we're gonna check in with Michael Myers coming up
next hour on the show again. We talked to him
earlier in the show. He's gonna check in with us
again later on that's cue. Did you get your bowl
back yet?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
No? No, no, no, as soon as looks case.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
You missed it earlier this hour, someone came by the
house when my wife was walk walked into the house
from giving out candy and stole the bowl with candy
in it.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, yeah, it was candy, Tye. I know it's not you.
It was a bowl filled with keenwa and seaweed. I
would say that was you. Yeah, I know it was you.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Uh So, if we get it back, if somehow we
get it back, or my wife is able to track
down the people who did it, I'll let you know.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I think you'll just find that bowl on your lawn
in the morning. Oh man, I'll tell you. I mean
people just drove by.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
She was in the house for a minute and she
goes back outside and someone just came up and just
took everything and went away.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
There was a better chance they find the dude's rug.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
The first college football playoff poll came out tonight, and
let me tell you what's wrong with it.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Syracuse wasn't on it.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Well, well, of course Syracuse at four and four needs
to be there. Nothing the first college football poll, Ohio
State number one, Michigan is number three, Florida State is
number four. Georgia, who was number one in all the
polls up till now, is number two. So it goes
Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, Florida State, Washington and Oregon are
(32:49):
the next two. This is how it should be is
Do I think Ohio State is the best team in
the country. No, but they have better wins than any
of the other undefeated teams. You have two wins over
top fifteen teams. So yeah, Ohio State should be number
one right now. Right now, it looks pretty simple. There's
no real craziness in it. Because if Georgia runs the
(33:12):
table the rest of the way like you think they're
going to, right, Florida State wins the acc like you
think they're going to the winner of Ohio State, Michigan's
getting into the playoff, and then Washington as long as
they win the Pac twelve, which they should because they're undefeated,
it's pretty easy. There's your playoff right there. So right now,
there's not a lot of drama. There's not a lot
(33:32):
of what about this that. No, you have the undefeated
teams one through five, You have the right one loss
teams next with Oregon five, then you have Alabama, you
have Texas right there after the rest of the top ten.
There's nothing wrong with this. I know Ohio State being
number one is a shock, but nobody else has really
beating anybody in the top four. They have the two
(33:52):
biggest wins. If Ohio State is not good enough, we'll
find out the next couple of weeks, they'll play Michigan,
we'll find out about them. But everything else is fine.
This is a I saw this, Paul, and I look
at it and I go, there's nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
Everything is good logic versus feeling, and certainly the SEC.
You look at their win loss record overall outside of conference,
and everything added up. But the best wins were Ohio
State and this is where you get into facts versus feelings, right,
the feelings of the to be the man. You gotta
beat the man. Now, that doesn't get you a whole
(34:27):
lot for discussion sake. No, you gotta jumble that stuff
up and then let it all play out for the
final month, right, you gotta have at some point to
argue at this point, and that's where you go. Washington
has the big win over Oregon by a field goal.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Guess what.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
They're right next to each other, and we recognize how
good Oregon can be at its best. So they're in
that prime position to creep creep up the rankings and
make some noise. If they take care of their business,
it's great theater. And this is where we get get
already here on Halloween night again, little dopey to announce
(35:03):
this stuff on holidays and in a crowded field.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
But hey, you know what, so be it.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
You know, look, look, I'm not the big I'm not
the biggest fan for saying, hey, why is this announced it?
But look, this is this is fine on here. This
is just a poll. It's not like they played a
World Series game on Halloween. Oh wait a minute, but
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Like where you would throw in a yeah, we'll do.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
That on Wednesday. Yeah, I mean, otherwise, what do we got?
We had some snowy maction. You got Phoenix beating the
hell out of the Spurs and Wembin Yama looking like
just a guy out there today, looking like the slender Man.
He's killing your box score if you went at it
in daily fantasy with him. Right now, we've got that
Clipper game. I think we hit the first shot of
(35:45):
the night just a couple of minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
So it all comes together.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
No, look, if I can look at this and say, well,
should Michigan be ahead of Florida State?
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Michigan hasn't played anybody, But does it really matter? You're
talking about still the rest the time to go. If
Michigan beats Ohio State, gets what Tulla will win better
than Florida State, they'll be three as long as they're eligible.
As long as they're eligible at the end, and.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Watch what that's the other thing is by ranking him
as you do, what happens? More discussion about everything swirling
around the program.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
It's great Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Carmon coming up, next, something big
from the World series that would make it even bigger
than it is now.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
That's next.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
This is Fox Jr. Smith.
