Nuggets fighting bank. It's now a nineteen.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Point lead for the t Wolves, eighty four to sixty five. Again,
still a lot of time left, but was just just
a twenty nine point lead a few moments.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Hey, if you bet that plus twenty one and a
half when I told you to, you're feeling pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
So again, Denver down nineteen is still a long way
to go. But Minnesota with the lead again, just under
ten minutes left in the game, and boy, if Minnesota
blows this.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
The greatest win in history, and we'd have to check
in out of our boss.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah. But look, we were talking
about the Tom Brady roast, which is what everybody talked
about last night and today, and it was look. First
of all, it was something Netflix absolutely needed. They needed
some kind of big hit. I'm sure they gave Brady
upwards of ten million dollars at least to do this,
to sit there and get roasted for three hours when

(01:45):
everything was gonna come up his life, Giselle, deflate Gate, Spygate,
everything else, his relationship with Belichick, all of that. So
I'm sure that this was something Netflix has taken a
big sigh relief and saying, Okay, we just had a
huge because this is something people are going to watch.
It was relevant, It owned the news cycle for about
twenty four hours. It had great word of mouth last

(02:07):
night into today, and it was absolutely fantastic. Now you're
gonna look ahead and say, Okay, why don't we see
more stuff like this? Right? Roasts are kind of an
art in that you need the right subject matter and
you need the right people to do it to be
able to do it. Now, here's a great athlete, and
here's someone we just saw with Tom Brady. How many

(02:30):
other people could we roast and it have the impact
like this was last night and there's only two guys
that I can think of When it was like, Okay,
who can you pull off? This is just as big
because you have so much material to work with from
someone's long career, stuff that's controversial, stuff you can make
fun with, stuff that you would love to see someone

(02:52):
sit down and have to take a no holds barred
reality sandwich to watch guys do that, and people do
that for you for a couple of hours. And the
only two guys I can think of where their roast
would in sports where the roast would be this big
would be Lebron James and Aaron Rodgers. These are the guys.

(03:13):
There's other big stars have long careers, but like look
at Dak Prescott. Roast is not going to be great,
but I'd swap out one of your guys. But with
Aaron Rodgers. There's so much from not getting along because
they use so many things from Brady's career. And that's
why I look at, Okay, what's the big thing we
can talk about? Because it was so much from Brady's

(03:33):
career that the average sports fan knew. The average person
probably didn't know. Oh, he really didn't like his head coach.
Oh this went on. Oh you know, he left Bridget
Mooyn a hand while she was pragging, like all these things.
Like there's so much with Rogers life from not liking
Green Bay and his crazy conspiracy theories and his other
relationships and there's just and so many things his teammates
could say that it's a smorgas part of what you

(03:55):
could say about the guy and Lebron. There's been no
bigger star on the planet than Lebron James the last
twenty And you can borrow from losing in the finals
and teammates and coach killing and everything else that goes
along with it, and taking his talents and there's so
many things that have but that are these are the
two guys juicy for the general public. Of course, it
is in the hands of the roastmasters. Yes, one percent Lebron.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
James, Yes on the grand scale apparent to Tom Brady,
he's boring his Hell.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Do you know how many clutch but the clutch sports
stuff will be hilarious with them. The Lakers stuff will
be fun, the Cavaliers, the Heat stuff will be fun.
The pat Riley stuff will be fun. Like Lebron has
lived everything so public for so long that even the
stuff that that even that that maybe the average person
doesn't know, there's.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
There's no juice like you men, this stuff with Tom
Brady of you know, a lot of acrimony with with
teammates and whatever. Okay that that cut through with with
Lebron coach killing only gets you so far the decision.
I mean, that's forever ago. We don't have any extra
stuff for me Ron with with Brady, we got TV twelve,

(05:03):
we get and Alex Guerrero, we got Moahan, we we
got Giselle. I mean you got three right there. That
Lebron doesn't have anything that's even closer to the equivalent.
I mean, obviously he's a global sensation, and I guess
that's why I need Tiger Woods to slide into one
of those sh Lebron's.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, Tiger Woods would now, I mean Tiger Woods would
never do it. Lebron has a lot of things that
you would be able to make the big jokes on
that you would think people wouldn't go, Why is Rihanna
wearing your jersey? You think there's not gonna be a
Rihanna joke? You think they're not gonna joke about his hairline.
They're not gonna. They're gonna say a lot of stuff.

(05:42):
We're gonna do about a hair They're gonna say a
lot of stuff in the hands we've been doing that
for in the hands of the roastmasters. They're gonna be
even the one the one guy that did the whole
king thing with Burger King. Oh, like that was hysterical.
You know, there are so many things with Lebron. You
forget about him coming out high school to the NBA,
and they're gonna make ped jokes and all kinds of

(06:03):
crazy stuff and and and that's gonna be like out
there right. No, Well, no, they will make the jokes.
They will make the jokes, I'm sure. And there's so
many things there. Because it's such a long career and
he's so divisive that people are are really up on
a lot of lebron stuff, even if it's just the
average things in the finals and Brup losing in the
files is going to be such a big thing.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
You've seen him stomp around a court like a three
year old. You have seen him get up like a
three year old. I'm taking my bag while wearing this
style is shorts ensemble, and I'm leaving. You have seen him.
Would you like to answer your questions about, you know,
next year? No, I don't think I would. And he
went full Captain America. Yeah, he's it from the Lakers.

(06:46):
Did you all of that stuff? He's gonna sit there
and laugh at himself.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Did you ever think Brady would do that?

Speaker 2 (06:51):
No, there's at least been signs that he's got to
sen you. You yeah, but but you're do all the
stuff you know that's gonna come up. Bridget Moynihan's gonna
come up. Justselle bunching is gonna come come.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
On, dude, eight karate classes a day, like and the
Bob Kraft stuff comes up, and now you're still trying
to work in sports. They're gonna bring up that you
couldn't stand Belichick and he couldn't stand you. That's a
lot Man. I didn't think for a second Tom Brady
would go through that this is like the end of
your career. It's like when andre Agassi wrote Open and
he just basically torched everybody he ever played tennis with

(07:20):
or against. It's like, dude, that's the book you write
at the end when you're not doing anything public anymore.
You don't write that when you're forty years old, Like
Brady gets roasted when it's all said and done.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
That's someone that gets released to, you know, on my deathbed.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
You don't get roasted when you're just about to join
a big broadcasting career and people joke about plastic surgery
and that. Like I never thought for a second Brady
would sit down and do that. But he did, and
and he was good coming back. I think the key
to his broadcasting career is gonna be him using the
F word. They allow him to do that, Like, I
think he'll be really.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
He And I really think Peyton was there just as
the setup. Yeah you know, you know what, because he
popped in and then Brady was able to just jump
off with a bunch of Peyton jokes. I wasn't like
that just kind of was a bridge yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
I wasn't a big fan of Peyton. I didn't like
I thought Peyton was just okay, although he was late
years better than ben a Fleck, who I think you
know roundly was like, what are you doing? But like,
I don't.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
I don't think he got the point. I thought, you know,
the point wasn't the roast the guy on his keyboard?

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, yeah, that was it was. It was not.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Great and protecting Tommy at all costs I thought.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
I thought. I thought Matt Damon would be there too.
I thought he would say something. I thought you'd get something,
maybe get Seth MacFarlane there to do it. But overall,
like those are the outside of Lebron and Aaron Rodgers,
Like it's hard to find someone who would sit and
do that. I mean, Tiger Woods, there is so much
to say, but is Tiger's not someone.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Who by interest level? Yeah, of you know where these
comedians can really go injured? The shadows here Like it's
like with Lebron, it's speculation. You bring up Rihanna in
the jersey. I mean he's got nothing, He's got a
clean laid on all of that. Of course that extra story.

(09:02):
So I was like, ah, but jo let you start
jumping into that.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Stun Lebron, it would be the end of his career.
Like I'm not saying Rogers might get up and start
debating you on a joke. Listen, here's what I want
to do. Instead of using my time to get back
and everybody, I want to talk about this is gonna
be like a podcast. I'm gonna talk about my little notes.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
About what the guy said, like let me explain to you.
Do you remember in nineteen eighty.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Seven man, let me, let me, let me tell you
why I believe that immunized and inoculated and all the
same thing. So those are the guys because outside of
the two of them there there's lots of big stars.
But it would get boring pretty fast, and and and
in general. It's tough anyway, because you watch a roast
and you know certain jokes are coming after a while,

(09:47):
like oh, this is a joke about Jessee. Here comes
a Gizel joke. Because as much as you want to think, hey,
it's great that that I'm running this joke, depending where
you go in the in the roast, it doesn't seem
funny because what we heard that in which it look
NICKI Glazer is getting and this is getting a lot
of great run. And part of it is because she
went very early, so you heard her jokes for the

(10:08):
first time. By the time he got you got lower
and okay, well here's a joke. Oh we heard that joke.
Oh we heard that joke. We heard that joke. But
that's why the podcast guy that it wasn't killing Albert
was the guy's name, dead Jim whatever. He was great
killing Yeah, killing Tony. He was great because he went
away from anything you thought he was gonna do and
he was fanto And that's the key I think is that, Hey,
I'm roasting, and I'm going towards the end of the roasters,

(10:30):
so I got a couple of stuff that's really original
because someone's gonna say all these jokes already. So yeah,
Nicki Glazer. If Nicki Glazer had gone later on, she
would still be getting a lot of great pubbet it
would be Yeah, Nicki Glazer was good, but other people
were better. So it's it's a it's a real it's
a real art. It's a fine needle to thread to
get through and say, Okay, here's what we can have
with a with a great roast and and those two

(10:52):
guys have the material, had the people that would want
to do it, who wouldn't want to get up and
roast Lebron or Aaron Rodgers every they'd be fighting over
for each other, both the roastmasters and the athletes and
former teammates take it up there to want to roast
both of them. So I mean you would you would
have that star studded lineup, You would have something people
want to see. You would have great amount of of
uh of of being able to push it and do

(11:14):
advertising for it. Yeah, but those are the two guys.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Potential for the chaos certainly doesn't to uh, the unsolicited
you know, testimonial. Uh. Like I said, you know, there's
a period where going through stuff that was a release
the end of the night, we'd get off air and
I'd be able to slink down over to sunset and
that catch the end of you know, some of the
comedy Store or or where wherever I would end up,
and I got to see Nicki Glazer a number of times.

(11:41):
Like folks that just got exposed because you don't watch
the other roosts or whatever. That that's just the tip
of the iceberg as to what she can get after,
so she she's very good, uh and getting your just due.
But your point about where you were in the order
was was true because I would have condensed it down
to you know, from three to about an hour and
a half. By time it was done, It's like, all right,

(12:02):
this joke has already been done nine different times. Yeah yeah,
like I mean like the same like with the same
effect essentially, Like it was great they did it live,
but that would have been better if you Okay, you
know what, Well, I don't know that we're gonna run
Ben Afflelick because he was bad. I know that we're
gonna run uh Randy Moss because he wasn't that great.
And I get you know, Kevin Hart, Ah was Kevin
Hart with a fun. Kevin Hart's job when he gets

(12:23):
up there is to just settle everything down because you
can't be up at a high level the entire time
you have someone just absolutely killing with a set. You
need Kevin Hart to kind of take it down, talk
for a little bit, get you laughing, and then ramp
you back up. So when the new person comes on,
you're putting them in a spot to succeed. So Kevin
Hart's role was he was fantastic great last night because
he that's exactly what he did. My job is not

(12:45):
to after I get my turn. I mean, you know,
eight karate classes a day, tom Uh. You know, after
he went, it's like, okay, he really got what it was.
But but you know, being live, I think there was
that that element of all right, maybe there's some stuff
we could have cut out of it.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
But part of the part of the live thing that
was the charm of it. Hey, Whoever's coming next might
be great? Oh ever's coming next? You can go in
and out of it and come back and watch who's
coming up here. I don't really care. Danny Amandola. I
don't know who that is. Julian Edelman, I don't know
who that is. You know, he did Aaron Hernandez joke
which I did not see coming. I'm like, oh my god,
he goes think about it, think about it. Uh. But
like I said, there's so many things that go into that,

(13:21):
and a good roast is the funniest thing you'll see
on TV. But you know, you have to have a
subject that there's so much to draw from, or things
get repetitive right away. And like I said, there were
still some repetitive stuff with Brady, but not that much
where all right, we have a lot from these guys
from a twenty plus year career to draw from, Like
Peyton Manning would not be that much fun to roast, right,

(13:42):
Like you were, okay, where could where could you go?
For Peyton Manning? Go all the way back into the
nineties with that, with that incident that he had at Tennessee,
and people would go, what is that again? I don't understand.
I don't know that Peyton would be would be a
great roast.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
I may have heard some others that could come up
in it in the course of an investigation and research.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
But but I don't know how great, how great that
would come up and be like okay after a while
and he'd be like, yeah, I'm kind of bored. Yeah,
I'm kind of bored. But when you have oh, maybe
they're gonna do a joke about this, will you do?
Because part of it is is being anxious and on edge, wondering,
oh is this guy? How far is he gonna go?
Is actually is Bill Belichick gonna say something about this?
Is he gonna say something? And it's it's everybody out

(14:22):
of the element and It's it's like you're seeing people
that are completely cut off from how you normally see
them and button down on the field, and here they
are saying, Okay, anything goes, I'm gonna let my hair
down and do it.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
How about you think Gronk was actually on script? Uh?
Like I know, he kept looking back at it and
they made fun of him not being able to read.
You think Gronk had tiny words written, just a tiny words,
Just wondering if at points he didn't just start riffing.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Gronk no know how to read?

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Tell a pron no read good? Exit?

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Out about a Frasca exit swollen doll again, if you
have to think somebody else? But outside of those two,
how about a Fresco swollen dome. Jason Smith Mike Harmon
live from the tirec dot Com Studios. Still a twenty
point lead for the t Wolves. I'll make it a
twenty three point lead for the t Wolves with six
minutes left to go. Just about done for the Nuggets
as Minnesota is about to take a two zap lead

(15:16):
here in the Western Conference SEMIS. But coming up next,
we'll get back into the two other incredibly large stories
of the NBA and only one of them involves the Knicks, well,
actually both them do, but the second one involves a
Knicks and the Celtics and a couple other teams and
pat Riley and pat Rowley getting upset. We got it
all right here, that's next Jason and Mike Fox.

Speaker 3 (15:38):

Hey, I'm Doug gottli The podcast is called All Ball.
We usually talk all basketball all the time, but it's
more about the stories about what made these people love
their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
We talked to.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Coaches, we talked to players, We tell you stories.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
I think you'll like it.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Listen to All Ball with Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts, Fox.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon live from the tiraq dot com studios. And look,
we've talked a lot about the Knicks tonight and their
incredible win over the Pacers. Maybe the biggest win in
NBA history. But today we now have to get to
what's going on in detail between the Nuggets and the Timberwolves, because.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
You say, that's not even gonna be the biggest win tonight.
When it's all said and.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Out, the game is over, and it's been over since
the early part of the first half. Denver has never
been able to make a run. There's three minutes to
go in the fourth quarter and Minnesota leads the Nuggets
ninety nine to seventy six. Now we'll get to add
and the Edwards in a second, but this is a
Minnesota team playing without Rudy Gobert, playing without a guy
who's likely gonna win Defensive Player of the Year. Okay,

(17:08):
likely gona win, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter when you can
put together this kind of effort defensively and still up
one oh two seventy six, they're still guarding the ball
as it comes in uh after a made basket. What
the Timberwolves can do defensively is absolutely outstanding, because not

(17:30):
only do they disrupt you, but they don't let you breathe.
And there's a couple of defensive sequences that have been
online that you can see that that point to this,
But this isn't This is an everyday thing, and now
the playoffs have hit and it's even bigger for the
t Wolves that they don't let you breathe. Jamal Murray
is incredibly frustrated, and maybe the Nuggets are playing Game

(17:53):
three without him, which we'll get to in a minute.
But there's been no sort of flow at all for
the Nuggets offensively. They have been beaten from the jump,
and the te Wolves have been doing this to everybody.
This is how they play defense. They somehow find a
way to double a guy with the ball in the
front court, and then when the player passes out of it,

(18:13):
somehow one of the players can still rotate to the
corner to get somebody who's gonna grab a ball for
a three, and suddenly it's contested. Minnesota being able to
spread the floor defensively to do what they want to
do is just so over the top impressive that look,
I don't know that them Denver can win a game
here at this point, because they're losing the first two
games at home, and it's Minnesota winning the first game

(18:35):
comfortably and this game they're winning, they've had their shoes
up or you know, basically on the scoreboard since midway
part of the second quarter. Now, look, they continue to
work hard all the time. They're working hard now with
two minutes to go and they're up by twenty five.
But what they do defensively, and it's not like they're
overly physical, it's just they are consistently in your face
and stop you from being able to make passes and

(18:57):
pass and get out of trouble. That they cut off
passing lanes and they get right up close without without
worrying about the physicality of a screen or a big
hand check or a push. This is what the Tea
Wolves do and it's genius. And look, yeah, are we
headed right now for what could be Minnesota and Oklahoma City. Yeah,
gotta get ready for maybe the fact that Minnesota might

(19:18):
be the best team in the playoffs right now, because
certainly they have looked the best out of any team
we've seen so far outside of the Knicks. They have
looked the best out of any team in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Now, swarming around, you've got the star player getting his
star turn and Edwards. But you talk about a height,
you talk about neutralizing Jokic, He's still is what sixteen,
ten and eight or something like that for the night.
But he's been it's an uncomfortable five of thirteen from
the field, and Jamal Murray has been a shell of
himself once again. That's two straight games that he's been

(19:51):
virtually disappeared, and tonight shot terribly. We'll get to the incident.
I mean, he's three of eighteen from the field. And
not often do you look at a box score, right,
you watch this and you're trying to glean some insights
and like, all right, did they do anything right? That's
seventeen offensive rebounds at this point. How many times you
see that and you're not beating the hell out of

(20:12):
the team. When seven you always say, wow, we gotta
be better on the glass. We gotta take care of
the glass. They're out rebounding the Tea Wolves by ten
and they're losing by twenty eight points. As we get
down the stretch and you talked about the intensity, Remember
we have what is the offentially essentially senior night going

(20:32):
on here with the Tea Wolves. Luca Garza, Iowa standout
is in the game and.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
He just scored and he just gave it to him
on the blocks one on one and he had turned
for a lefty layup.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Short and he was part of the contingent down low
that was still contesting. Would be layups here late, So
everybody getting in and trying to keep that same focused,
same mentality, same swarm effect in and around the basket.
Gotta say, highly impressive, which what we've seen through these
two games. And Karl Anthony Towns for all the love

(21:03):
that Anthony Edwards is getting and deservedly so. Right the
new the next whatever, Kat has been outstanding. And anytime
there looked to be a little bit of life now
from a scoreboard perspective, it never got there, but just
where the Nuggets players seemed to be injected with a
little of all right now, we got to get on
a run. He would have hit a big shot and

(21:23):
just stare down the bench.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
It's like they said, Rudy, go but dory about it. Roney,
we got you. Stay home with your kid.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
You can't imagine. That's exactly what they do.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
And man, we're good, we got you tonight. Don't worry
about it. As great as you are, we got you, man,
don't worry. But as we talk about this series, and yes,
the Tea Wolves should be the overwhelming favorites right now
to win the title. The clock is gonna hit zero.
It's gonna be a twenty six point win for Minnesota. Yes,
the Nuggets are the champs, and you never want to
count at the champs. However, they could be playing Game

(21:52):
three without Jamal Murray because Murray was very upset about
one sequence. He was sitting on the bench, not in
the game, very upset about one sequence going on on
the floor, and while the play was going on under
the Nuggets basket, he threw a heat pack onto the
floor into the middle of where the players were. One
of the players had to pick it up and throw
it to the side, but you could see on the

(22:15):
replay that's Murray throwing the the heat pack onto the court.
There was no tech called, which was insane, and I
don't see how you have any choice but to suspend
him for Game three.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
I think in the immediacy, it's the where did this
come from? How did this? You know, did it get
kicked accidentally as someone's over there? And then you know,
this is like the two minute review and report that
comes out. It is like, what did you guys find
out about that heat pack? Now plenty as the Bruder
film to figure out exactly the source of that.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
And you can see it. Look TNT's cameras have and
I'm not saying and I'm not saying, hey, suspend the
guy bloodthirsty. What I'm saying is that this was a
play that didn't have a TECH called on it. Okay,
so you missed it. You can't let it go. What
are you gonna do? Give him a tech?

Speaker 2 (23:00):
And there's a fine no this Well, it's like the
idiocy of from Game one. Remember Anthony Edwards got called
for that technical. Now it ended up not madly right,
but there's a big sequence that goes down because of that.
And then then you come back after you know, you
can't take away the free throw the guy shot and
the possession they got coming off of that. Yeah, so
rescinding it is what if you think he's suddenly gonna

(23:23):
go Draymond Green or Dennis Rodman and be up on
the points to a little for a suspension and it
does nothing after the fact. Same thing here, What are
you gonna do? Find him?

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, I mean you can't. And you because you can't
let it go like it's okay that the guy threw
a heat pack onto the court.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
But it's a final need.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
To do something, and it's like, okay, you threw a
heat pack onto the court where everybody was. It's not
like you threw it on the court. Everybody was all
the way up the floor. You threw everybody was playing.
And this is where Adam Silver's got to say, hey,
my hands are kind of tied here. You you you
you were idiots. You know you can't do that.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
I'd like to see him put that in the press realm.
By the way, the draconian style of Justin frostbergn EX commissioner,
He's done.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, yeah, tearing at him. You're done, I mean there,
because there's no way you look. All you need is
the angle from TNT. You can see it because they
spotlight Jamal Murray and he throws the heat pack on
the floor to the bench and he throws it onto
the floor.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Uh this is I mean. Look, I don't know how
you're gonna beat him in Game three at home because
without too because he left with an ankle injury. He
had to have two guys help him back and then
put any weight on his left ankle.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
But I don't know that you have any other choice.
If you're Adam Silver, then to say, okay, you know
you threw a heat pack onto the floor like in theory,
he could because Adam Silver doesn't like to do anything.
And you know that Adam Silver right now is eating
a candy dish full of tombs because he knows that
he's got to do something like. This is gonna upset players,
This is gonna upset the No.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I don't know what do I do? No, I can
totally see the press release. Since the game was decidedly
one sided, this would not have affected the outcome of
the game itself, but retroactively there is a technical that
now goes into the books for the idea of if

(25:12):
he's continue start the game with the t Wolves shooting
technical Well, no, I mean maybe, But I mean, is
it any more asinine than the Edwards Game one? You
can't change the course of events.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
You're gonna shoot technicals to start the game.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Technically, they could give the Pacers the win.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
After what happens, stop stops, not my fault. Tyre's Halliburton
only shot the ball six times. You just wait till
Reggie Miller heats up in game two.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Should have used him.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
You know, a funny story is that one of my
biggest high school basketball games that my high school played
when I was a senior, uh and we were playing
our arch rivals, and it was I think like the
winner would go to the playoffs. I think we never
went far in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
I like to have an arch rival.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
And and and the official score, because the deal was
was that our high school has different numbers for home jerseys.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
And on the road.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Does something happen that year where everybody had one number
at home and then they had one number up on
the roll. If you were to be they wore number eight.
If you were number fifteen, you had sixteen on the road.
Everything else right, So the official score was this girl
I knew she's really smart, went to college on a scholarship,
was a great softball player, great basketball player, and she

(26:24):
was the official scorer. And it was this game and
everybody's everybody's insane in the in the in the in
the gym, were ready for the game. And all of
a sudden, the referees point to the before the game starts,
points to the to the free throw line, and their
best player shoots ten technicals and he makes nine of them,
and the stands are going crazy like what is happening?

Speaker 2 (26:46):
What is happening?

Speaker 1 (26:47):
And I actually knew the kid shooting the free throws
because I worked with him and he told me the
story after was insane. But anyway, he's shooting. He's really good.
He went to college on a scholarship too, so he
gets to make So we start the game losing nine
to nothing before the opening tip, and nobody knew what
was happening. Then we finally find out at halftime that
the girl I knew who was doing the Status team,
she did the official lineups and she put the wrong

(27:08):
numbers down. She put the numbers that they were on
the road instead of at home, and so the coach
of the team saw it and said, that's that's that's
a that's a technical for every single mistake. So they
put the Kuy at the free throw line and he
shut ten free throws to start the gates.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
They he prefaced it as arch rivals because otherwise I
would say something that was only appropriated and Tom Brady
roast about the opposing coach.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
And they didn't say anything to us, like like can
you like if you just watch that, people would have
blood in their eye running on the courtorate tackle this
kid shooting for the referees whatever it was. Now we
wound up actually winning the game, which was crazy, but
for that moment going oh my goodness. So maybe Adam
Silver could do something like that. Hey, we're gonna have
the tea will shoot technicals to start the game. Hell long,

(27:57):
we'll have him shootingntil We feel like you've learned your
lesson Jamal Murray, so we'll just we'll just keep going
until we feel like, okay, that's enough and there's a
lead that the tea will start with.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
I think the opposing coach is a jerk. I mean,
took take every advantage, yeah that you can. I get
it to a point, can't fall to good strategy, all
that stuff.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
But free game, Yeah, that's free throw for everybody. Look,
I don't know how the Nuggets even win a game
at this point, Michael Malone, even with Jamal Murray, because
I don't know that there's a secret sauce. Because defensively,
the Tea Wolves have done everything they've wanted to do
and now they're going home. So I mean, unless Scott
Foster shows up, and you know Scott Foster, you know

(28:37):
the extender if he's the only official assigned to Game three, Well,
who's on who's on his team with them? No, it's
just Scott Foster. He's called. He's the only guy on
the floor. That's it.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
And man, he's just gotten his call.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
This could be another swee. It's be another sweep from Minnesota.
But also for for Michael Malone. I gotta say, I
don't think any any team has responded worse to a coach.
Do I do a ham joke? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (29:03):
If they get swept, it does go back to Mike.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
He gave this whole passioned thing of how they needed
to come out with urgency and blah blah blah. They
they were walking.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Dead, exit out bout of Fresca, exit swollen Dome. We
could be looking at the Nuggets on the back end
of a sweep on the other end that they loved
so much in the Fay. Hey, yeah, gentlemen, sweeping the Lakers. Yeah,
oh wow, this could be We may not win another game, right,
No one's getting shot. No one's getting shot, well the
Nuggets basically unless they're unless the TJ. The Nuggets shooting

(29:34):
themselves in the foot, losing another game at home.

Speaker 5 (29:37):
To the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon
live from the Tirack dot Com Studios. We'll have more
on the NBA coming up in a few minutes. We'll
tell you exactly why Anthony Edwards gets all the publicity
that Jalen Brunson doesn't. But coming up next, we'll pay
off something that Justin Frossberg said last hour on the show,
he's never heard a back of the bat louder than

(30:02):
Sho Hao Tani's home run tonight against the Marlins. Now
the game is over and they'll be rules say we
can play it.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
So, oh how about that here?

Speaker 1 (30:11):
That coming up next right here Jason and Mike Fox.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Boy had to uh had to play that song early
as possible. Soon you're gonna start playing the song while
the commercials is still playing.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
If he's building it up.

Speaker 6 (30:33):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. Think of it as a bell before
dinner time. Jason, Okay, I don't need a bell. Usually
somebod who says food's there and I find it starts salivating. Yeah,
ring the bell finding food is a very big skill
of mine.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
You know what, that's just a TV show. He stars
in Finding Finding Food, Finding Food. Mike just went Joseph
Blue Pulowski on us. He said, ring the damn bell
you Hey day?

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Did you did do the ring the bell? Harmon?

Speaker 6 (31:01):
Do you think we could train Jason like Dwight from
the office to salivate every time we do something for food?

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Have Lovan response, let's go, okay, blank you, blank you,
blank you, all of you, blank you. I'm out. We'll
have more on the NBA coming up in a few minutes.
But show Heyo Tani Homan for the Dodgers tonight, Walker
Buehler's first game back in almost two years with the Dodgers.
A little bit rocky for Bueller. But the Dodgers, clearly

(31:27):
with the lead they have and how they're winning games now,
and you can afford to have Bueller out there and
not have to pitch in the miners anymore. Uh, they
wind up winning the game. Tons of home runs were hit,
but none bigger than this by show Heyo Tani and
Frostburg said this when it happened. And because of MLB rules,
we can't play highlight until the game is over.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
They've got a lot of really great broadcasting and distribution
rules in place to really help accelerate the growth and
retention of fans.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Hey, come on, man, it's not the WNBA. Come on, Jason.
I got to stop you that.

Speaker 7 (32:03):
I literally told you in America. This is the greatest
sounding bat for a home run sound that you'll ever
hear in your life.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
I know.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
And that's how you sell it that. I haven't gotten
to sell it yet. I haven't gotten to the point
to sell it yet. Harmon decided he wanted to say,
you want to say this, you gotta start over. Man,
let's go back.

Speaker 5 (32:26):
We're not allowed to play highlights and make baseball games
until they're over. But now that it's over, you get
to hear what could be the greatest crack of the
bat ever in a Major League Baseball game.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
What a home run for Team O. Yeah, no, that
was great crack of the bat. Nice Shaw. Here is
shoe Han Toddy the crack of the bat he had
and his home run in the bottom of the first
and he tied the Dodgers with the Marlins at to
a piece. Now, Frostburg said, greatest bat crack you'll ever hear.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
You be the judge.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
He's a Dodger fan, so you know alright that all right,
So let's let let's let's hear it. Let's hear the
crack of the bat.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Sounded like a suck John.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, that's pretty impressive.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Right a seconds, let's go. I want to hear the
call again. That sounded like a suck John. Again, dude,
that was in center field in like two seconds.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
That sounded like in the natural when he had the
one hit where the ball when he when he knocked
the cover off the ball and just like fell.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
That's expected to see that ball because that that was
that was crunched. I'll fixated on him calling it. That
sounded like a shut John. How would Joe Davis know that? Why?
Now need an investigation into the.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
I mean this one is to dead center field in
the in the black, you know, like up a level deep.
So I mean he absolutely crushed that pitching. Yeah, I mean,
that's that's it. I don't know if I have like
a shock. I don't have a pantheon of bad tracks,
but that's pretty impressive. That's gotta be at the top.

(34:21):
You know what, I can't disagree with it.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
I think we're gonna have to just start finding a
bunch of the greatest home runs of all time and
see if the auto audio quality ramps up like it
does here in the Los Angeles. Now, remember special effects
and movie magic is what we do. When.

Speaker 7 (34:36):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
When I went to the Mets Dodgers game a couple
of weeks ago, the one game the Dodgers beat the Mets. Uh,
and Otani, Yeah, I should right do get the two games?

Speaker 5 (34:45):
All.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
We go to the first game, now I'll go to
the second. I'll go to the third game. We lose
ten nothing. I hope you paid a lot of money.
We lost. We lost ten nothing in that game. And
Otani homered in the UH in the first inning of
that game. And I'm watching it and and the ball
is hit and it passes by me because I'm on
the Mets side of the field obviously, and I'm sitting
next to Zoe, and I go, that's gone.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
And she goes, Dad, how.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Can you tell?

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Oh? Because he just like, how could you tell that's gone?
Because but how can you tell?

Speaker 4 (35:14):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (35:15):
And then watching land like you know, twenty rows back
in the sand. I was like, oh, that's two nothing.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
That's watching a lot of baseball and all having a
lot of bad pitching. I got shut done.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Now I'm with you from I'm okay with you Frostburg,
even though I can't confirm that I am okay with
that statement or the ball No no, the shotgun no no,
no no.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Yeah, we got questions for Joe. I don't know why
you would go to that, but.

Speaker 7 (35:39):
It's sadly shotgun is what you call it when you
down a big mac in one bite, right, dude, I
wish I could eat a big back of one bite.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
You can't like a you know what, three bites. I
might be able to really, I think I might be
able to do three bites. Yeah, we're testing that this one.
Oh I might be able to do three bites. Four definitely,
four definitely. But I might do just take him in quadrants,
like I could do it in I could do it
in two if I like just stuffed it all, but
that's not fun, but like and then I might choke,

(36:08):
But like three bites, I think I could.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
I think I probably could.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Jason over under two and a half for you.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Fight, But Alex, would you like the addition of and uh?

Speaker 1 (36:18):
I might.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Like that was the secondary.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
I'd be in the Darwin Awards.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Radio host tries to eat Big Mac in two bites
and chokes to death.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Coming up next, we din't get back to the two
biggest stars in the NBA playoffs, Jason and Mike Fox.
