Are the White Sox winning? Now they're losing again. Oh
this is the Cubs. Yeah right, I know you can
lose all the other games. Yeah, well you don't lose
to these. You're tanking guys.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Williams. It's fine, he's already there. Yeah yeah, but you
gotta get him from the Bears to the White Sox.
Now it's you know, he's already taken over to him
in the city.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's they need to reconfigure everything before the move to Nashville.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Just gotta just got it. Whoa, whoa, wait, what's happening.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Oh that's been out there for a long time span.
It's kind of like the uh yeah, not the Bears.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
White tie. That's been out there forever. I don't know, man,
you've been looking to move to Arlington, different places all this.
Oh they bought all that land. Yeah, you know, they
bought the old race track. Sure, what are you gonna
do with it? Well, not everybody can live next to
JJ Abrams, Jese, this is this is true, you know, J.
J Abrams. I wonder if at any point he's listening
to our show going why they keep saying this guy
lives next to me. I don't understand. I think it's
(01:44):
safe to say he's never listened. You may and he
just doesn't know it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
With that giant plot of land and and the fortress
that you've built with your moat.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
You're the guy that doesn't pick up Benny's poop. Hey listen, No, no,
don't don't tag me with that. I always make sure
I pick up after my dog. No, stop, I don't
tag me with that that you can go into every
one of his movies.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
You're splicing right before, you know, a big death scene
for you.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
No, no, no, Ben, I always take care of Benny. No,
don't tag don't you don't try to put that on me.
You put doc out there, put that on me. You
you started it, you said, uh, so we got some
big baseball stuff coming up in a few minutes, because
the oddest story of the year. You thought you were
done with the gambling stories with the epey, but now
this has gotten really insane. I did love the Dodgers statement.
(02:40):
It's done. We consider it done. Don't talk about it anymore.
I tell you, by the time we got to June,
this story would disappear. The epe story would be over.
It's oh I told you me over and it's over.
And now now there's a new gambling story to come out.
You know, a player getting not only is he a
you know, get spending for life for gambling, he's actually
(03:00):
a really bad guest.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Statistically, statistically it's almost impossible.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
He's just historically bad. This guy, he's also horrible. I'm
blaming it on his interpreter. Yeah, well, that's the thing
you gotta have. What Yeah, but can you still do
that after ebey? I mean can you? I don't know it,
but I mean I think that's something they're they're kind
of wise to now, Like how many times could you
run the oh I didn't know what was in? How
(03:25):
many times ingredients? How many times did people run the
eye was hacked? Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean it's
I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
That works for years before people finally said no, you
you know what, I think they're all.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Lie, you get you get the one, you get the
one time to blame an interpreter. Now no one can
blame an interpreter anymore. Can't do it. Uh. But look,
big story out of the NFL, and this is a
really Look. We had a great fun debate with c. J. Stroud,
who decided I don't like Aaron Rodgers and I'm going
to troll him. Yeah. Lie, Big news today in the NFL,
as Christian McCaffrey, the best running back in the sport,
(03:56):
agrees to a two year, thirty eight million dollars extension
with the San Francisco forty nine ers. If you want
to do math really fast, that's nineteen million dollars a year.
First thing I'm gonna say is this not that I'm
always a big guy about collusion, but do you think
it's surprising that when NFL salaries look like they get
to a point where, hey, we're getting out of control
(04:18):
here a little bit, you add the best wide receiver
set the market yesterday the best running back set the
market today. I don't think there's any coincidence that the
two guys who genuinely across the board, every evaluator, team
agent would say, Okay, this guy's the best guy.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Maybe he's not the absolute most talented, but when you
factor everything in how young he is, what he produces,
this is a guy that should be getting setting the market.
I don't think there's any coincidence. Justin Jefferson Christian McCaffrey
in a two day spend it said, okay, here's where
it's at now for running backs and wide receivers.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, it's a little bit that stinks.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I mean, it's a day or two old, right, something
you left out on the counter, and it's like, you know,
it's something wafting, right, it's not overpowering, right, We like,
what is that smell?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Is that the garbage? Is that something else, I want
to go something. Did you take your shoes off? Maybe
your feet? I mean, you got something going on here,
But is it your feet? Well it could be hey,
sticky feet. Those feet are bad, okay.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
But the idea being that is it collusive versus just
pragmatic and that And that's.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Where the owners of teams.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Where you have other wide receivers and running backs and
it's not really the running back the position right now,
but it's certainly the wide receivers right because we've got
a number of guys Chase Lamb. We talk about ayuk
slash Debo in terms of where they're headed, and we
could find several others on the board as well, where
(05:47):
it's the all right, we don't want to overpay these guys, right,
We don't want to And looks Cincinnati, he's got the
built in excuse. We never wanted to pay anybody, right,
We didn't want to give anybody anything, which is why
they were always ranked last. Although I think Adam thiel
And let the cat out of the bag no pun
intended that the Panthers have the worst facilities and everything now,
(06:08):
which is why they're looking at it upgrade. But yeah,
I think to your point, you get into all right,
collusive coincidence versus pragmatism and trying to decide where you are.
And if you're Roger Goodell, you're putting your head, you know,
firmly between some peaky blinders.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And I think that the collusion is is such a
it's so slyly done now that this is more of
a Hey, we're not going to really sign anybody outside
getting out of free agency. We're not going to sign
anybody until the Vikings signed Justin Jefferson, until the forty
nine ers figure out. But that's just men. We're not
going to be held right. You saw change side these
(06:49):
guys say about CD Lamb. I want to see how
the how the free agency market does settles before I
want up giving CD some money. Star not surprising, I
mean it is it kind of a slyish collusion. Again,
the best running back, best wide receiver two days you
think they did.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, but again in the running back position, is there
anybody comparable?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
No? And here's the right.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
So that's off to the side, and here's the great debate.
And here's the great debate. He gets nineteen million a
year and he should he's the best running back in
the NFL. How many guys, let's just use fifteen million
dollars as the tipping point. How many guys? How many
running backs? Would I give fifteen million dollars a year?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Two? Right? I'll tell you right now, there's two guys
i'd give it to. And there's two guys if they
did it another year, I would give it to. Okay,
and it doesn't sound not players you're thinking about the
first two guys, I'd give fifteen million dollars a year
two right now, because I know how good they are
and how young they are. Brese Hall and Jamier Gibbs.
These are the guys I give that money to. Brisall
(07:51):
already is yet. Look he was injured last year or
two years ago. Last year second most all purpose yards
were running back. The guy is phenomenal. Jamiir Gibbs through
no fault of his own. Hey, we're gonna keep giving
the ball to Dave Montgomery, but Jamirga Okay, that's fine,
because you need that dual threat guy who is going
to catch passes out of the backfield and be able
to have a pretty good success running the football.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Those are the only guys I give it to. I
can't give it to Rashad White. Why the guys three
and a half yards of carry? I mean, he's not special, right,
he does great out of the backfield, He's terrific, But
you need to be able to run the football a
little bit because that's in the title of position, is
running back. So there's a couple of guys. I'm like,
it's a condition. I can't give it to you when.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You're averaging under four yards of carry. I got to
see him do it again. Well, he's got two years
of pretty good far in the rear again, but last
year in healthy for the seasonly this week he's going
on with Breese. Hall is fine. Hall is clearly you
didn't see the update. He's fine. What's the update? Uh?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
And as for Gibbs, Gibbs is phenomenals. He's same same
question in terms of is he going to be able
to be that guy like McCaffrey to the level of
usage and that I don't know was it forced with
Montgomery or is there something more to the we can
(09:15):
only give this guy well, and they definitely look they
definitely brought him along right right the like like they
brought him along exp Okay, because everybody wanted to see
the ball way more in the beginning of the season.
But it's but this is it's mostly fantasy owners. He
climbed for him in b John Robinson. These guys have
to be here. But you drafted Montgomery is a pretty
good player, and they paid him a lot of money
(09:36):
to be there.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah, but Jamier is also a guy. You drafted him
pretty high and you want to see him play. But
this again, this, this is why we talk about great
coaches and and and we talked okay, even though look
he biffed the end of the last playoff game, but
look here's Dan Campbell saying, no, we're bringing Jamiir Gibbs
a long slow and look what happened. He was playing
his best football at the end of the season. Right
he would He did not hit the rookie wall. He
(09:57):
didn't that right, it was he was use so who
was good. But now when you average five yards to
carry and you do what you do in the past
the game, you see electric the guy is it's time
to give him a little bit more responsibility. You can
instead of Montgomery getting ten more touches a game than Gibbs,
you can you can at least this year that can.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Be ye, but yeah again, but those are the guys
fifteen million dollars, go do it again.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
But no, the guys I want to see do it again.
These are the guys. If they did it again, I
would give fifteen million dollars a year. Two. And this
is not contract, this is just guys. I would pay
fifteen million dollars a year. Two. Uh, James Cook and
Bjeon Robinson, these are the guys. I'd give fifteen million
dollars a year. Two. B Jhon Robinson just fight. Maybe
now this year they'll give him the football. It's like,
why aren't you Why does he have four touches? Yeah?
(10:43):
I don't know. I mean that was just stupid. No, No,
I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I can't do it because I felt bad he didn't
get used last year. Here's a bunch of money to compensate. No,
you got to now go perform, but you don't see
his talent. And if you got to go brows another year? Right,
and James Cook as great a year as he had
last year, okay, but as a lead back and and
and beat off and beat out all the comers.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Uh, that was great. So but he does it again
he's another guy. I'd give that money to so Cook.
If Cook and Robinson can continue their growth through it again,
I'd give them fifteen million. Haul and Gibbs I give
fifteen million. Two that's it. They're running acts.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I might giving them fifteen That's still it's still a
big position, man, I gets still a big position. And
I'm still reticent to all four of them, the two guys.
I want to see him do it again.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I want to see Gibbs show me that he can
do eighteen to twenty two touches a game over a
long haul before I'm there. And breshall at acl still
in the in the rear view mirror a whole year
though of being healthy.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
What's the briefs? All up practicing due to some lower
half stuff. Yeah, he's fine. He was cleaning up your
language with lower halfs still half stuff. He's screwed, like
James Cook. He's fine.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
He's here's a guy that can prove it this year
because that team is gonna change.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
They have to, right. I mean, the two big weapons
you have are now Cooking, Dalton Kin Kate, Like those
are your two big guys.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
So you're you're looking at changing, and I wouldn't be
surprised to see something shake out with him in the
wide receiver position before we get to opening day. But
either way, you're you're hand out funny money for running backs.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Now. No, you know now, but you know Frost. You
know what I'm really concerned about. That breeze Hall is fine.
What I'm really concerned about is Robert Sala saying today, Hey,
you know a son, Reddick hasn't been at Ota. He goes, yeah,
he's fine. Have you talked to him?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I haven't. What do you mean? No, I haven't talked
to him since he got him. Wait, what do you mean?
I haven't talked to him, haven't talked to him in much?
I haven't talked to the guy in money. What do
you mean? We just traded to bring him. We let
guys go. You can bring in his son, Reddick. You
haven't talked to the guys. Don't say it. This is
what I know. That's just it. You gotta sell. This
is what I mean when I say a star. We
(12:55):
started the show by talking about how a star can
can cover all ills. That's like Roger has to cover
all of these ills. Like, wait a minute, the big
guy you got in the off season you coach doesn't
even talked.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
To, could have asked some more questions about the offensive line.
She got a couple of guys that are longer in
the two things you talk to me.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
No I have a talked to have a talk to him.
I'd be really So there you go. There's your four guys.

(14:46):
on old garage tapes.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Now I gotta do it garage tapes, revisiting this. I
pulled this off my cassette. I had this, no, I
had this in the garage. I got this ready now
for you clean with the feedback in the beginning and everything.
Had this on, had this on an eight track. It's
really good. Well, I mean that might have explained his
whereabouts cleaning out.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
He was filling in on the herd, and Tyshre was
and he was he was playing Tears for Fears on
the herd, which I think is just genius. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Well, I mean, you got to remember where he came
from until until he gets a note next time where
they go, uh, hey, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
So so and so is out Alex. We're gonna ask
you but but Collins asked you to not fell in
because he's not a fan of your music, so you're
not gonna be able to to I've heard stories he's
told people to stop playing songs before, never made okay,
all right until I tell him, hey, dude, do me
a favorite. Just you better not. But now I want
to know what song.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
But now I don't want to know what songs can't
be played on the herd. I mean that's some intrigue.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I no, you know, I think, and they're meant to
make you cry. There's there's certain times where songs even
played like in the last ten years, where like, ooh,
that's a bad memory for me, but I just kind
of blow past it.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Well, We've also had a couple that were a little
too on the nose for that story we were about
to do, and it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Don't want it, Jason. My knees were weak and heavy,
vomit on my sweater and you cut me off. On
the surface, you look calm and ready to drop bombs,
but you keep it. Vacation in Detroit. Yeah, it was
pretty good. I'm like, I think the thing is Eminem
is Eminem. It's weird, Like He's what I thought about
(16:30):
Eminem's new track Real Fast is that Remember when Billy
Crystal stopped hosting the Oscars because the best Oscar host
we've ever seen, he had a run during the nineties
early two thousands and he Starver was on that writing group.
I mean, that was that was genius. It was great.
Then they brought him back after he was away for
like ten years, and you're like, oh, it's kind of
the same thing and where you thought it was gonna be, Oh, man,
(16:51):
I'm gonna get to see Billy do his thing, and
it was like, oh, you I've kind of seen this
a lot. Like I feel like Eminem still has the
same sound that he had in the early two thousands,
and when he's had new songs. I'm like, okay, well, okay, yeah, okay,
this is kind of okay.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I mean it's a CDC. Like there's certain bands that
it's why I take two or three.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
That's why listen. Why don't listen to Power Up or
Black Eyes. That's why when I'm in the car, listen
to you know, High Voltage or you know, if you
want blood, You've got it or something like that. Don't
listen to this. So you're saying he's not talented. No,
I'm saying he's talented. It's like, sometimes i'd like to
you know, as much as I don't want to say, oh,
I'd like to hear an artist evolved.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I sometimes I like to hear an artists too different things.
We're gonna play a song off our new one, Beer Time.
That's kind of how it got Like okay, that that's
kind of all right. Okay, you like it, you don't
love it, It's okay, it's all right. I mean, on
Board right is a track speaking No.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I like it, But to say, I'm like, okay, so
I've kind of I've kind of eminem does this thing? Okay,
all right, it's kind of cool. But I'm like, oh, Wow,
I'm not gonna go crazy and listening to it all
the time, like over and over and over it. But
it is one of those things that you you love
it or hate it.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
It's always good when artists who've kind of been in
the background decide, Hey, you know what, the Lions are good,
it's time to release some new music. I can get
back in front of a camera because I'm a Lions guy,
and now I release some new music.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
The only song I never want to hear on the
show and absolutely can you cannot play it? And I
don't know. I think it's a Justin Bieber song and
it just has that over and over and over again,
and I'm like, I can't have that. I just gotta
figure out that. I think it's Justin Bieber. He's going
to parse that out. Can't do it, can't do it.
(18:40):
No zz top Rule on My Weekend. It's one of
the guys that just was obsessed and it's a while
like what you say, No, it's not the song, that's
not it. It's not no no, it's like a whistling
like a in the chorus. Now that's the whole song.
Is that that's It's in the entire so it's in
(19:02):
the entire song. I want to say it's that's the
song though, but that's the song because I and that's
the whole thing. I'm like, okay, we got to have
that stuff. But I think I think it's Bieber. I'm
not one hundred percent because when I hear it, I
turned this off. But I think it's Bier. I think
it's Biber from about ten twelve years ago. I want
to say, maybe that's about what it is. Okay, the
(19:23):
boys easy to You're like when they would spin the
guitars be able to play it sp.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I they would play the same two or three songs, like,
you know what, there's a lot of songs out there
that we can if we're gonna go classic rocks, you could.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Really there's a wide berth.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
If nothing else, I can start doing like some folks
do and just say here's all you rejoice music for
the rest of the night.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
That's it rained. I mean, look, if you if you
want to sprinkle it in now and again, it's all good. Dude.
I just became this same thing.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
It's like, I don't have an affinity to this, so
why are you screwing me over every Sunday watch, so
the greatest clothes catching moment in baseball history. White Sox
runner second base in the ninth can tell your.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Story, Tell your story. I'm freestyling and you're just knowing
how howey thing about the White Soxs. You just started to.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Say greatest I'm just gonna start talking.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
About Jason freestyling because we don't need a free style.
Yes they do, because my freestyling is awesome. You're not Eminem.
Sure you kidding? You're Papa Do. I'm the sports written No,
I actually say stuff. I'm not Papa Doc. I'm the
sports version of Eminem. I've had some kind of long
ass career. So you're gonna break the people of Detroit's
hearts after this again. First, you cost the lines that
(20:51):
I picked them. I took the lines, bars, I took
the I don't know what's left. No, it's it's listen.
I will find a way to find something good about
Detroit because I always do title. I got the Lions
to the I got the lines to within three breaths
(21:14):
of the Super Bowl, which nobody thought. I did my job, man,
I did my job just like Colonel jessbit a few
good men. I did my job. I'd do it again.
I did my did my job. Maybe you heard the
name in the last couple of days of Tukupeda Marcano. Uh,
this is the player who was suspended for life by
Major League Baseball for gambling pirates player, you know, utility
(21:37):
player who was on the injured list last year or
the torn acl Uh. It was found out while he
was on the injured list, he was betting a ton
on Major League Baseball and he was betting on pirates games.
And this story that you hear. We get stories like
this every now and again. Here's the players who should
have been betting, but they do. And a lot of
times it's players who aren't making a lot of money.
(21:59):
Figure out, Hey, can I find a way that makes
him use my knowledge of the sport and makes him
extra cash here and there? And you've seen that a
lot of injured passing time. Look, the biggest name was
Calvin Ridley. Obviously we saw him. Hey, you know, he
served a year suspension for it. But this this guy
took a Peter Marconnell like nobody really knows he is.
In Pittsburgh. You'd probably have a working knowledge of who
he is. But now he's suspended for life from baseball. Now,
(22:20):
this is the crazy part of this is that the
information about his bets has come to life. He bet
on the Pittsburgh Pirates twenty five times? How many of
those bets you think he won? Not betting on the Pirates.
So understanding, you're already starting with ninety losses? All right,
(22:42):
betting betting twenty five times on the Pirates? How many
times did he win? Did he bet on them to win?
He bet? How many times do you think he won
those bets? Four zero for twenty five? Here you go,
oh for twenty because I know his overall success right now?
Three eight seven total bets. Yeah, look that's a that's
a ped Alonzo homestand oh for twenty five. Okay, overall
(23:07):
he made hundreds of bets. Yeah, they're saying three eighty
seven was the number circulating. Mainly his bets were on
win loss and over under for the number of runs
scored in Carlay action. But that's mainly what he did,
betting win losses and over under. He won hundreds of bets, Now,
hundreds of bets. He won four point three percent of
(23:29):
his wagers. Okay, So not only does he get banned
from the sport. He may be the worst gambler in
the world. He could have just flipped the coils like
you could go better.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
You could go back to the old West in like
the eighteen hundreds, and if you cheated a poker game,
you got shot.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
And this guy's worse than those guys are. I mean,
my good four percent? How do you? How do you
only succeed four percent of the time? Even if I
tried to say, instead of picking winners and losers, I'm
gonna pick who I think is gonna lose, Right, I'm
gonna try to pick to lose. I think so and
so is gonna win this game. Like I'll get the
(24:07):
Lions giving three. If I think the Lions are gonna cover,
I'm gonna go the other way and I will still
win at least what thirty three thirty five percent of
my bets If I'm betting against what I think, Okay,
I'm still gonna win. I'm still gonna win thirty percent
of my bets. How do you miss? How do you
four percent? Let's say the guy only bet one hundred times.
(24:29):
That means you won four times out of one hundred,
and it was more than one hundred. So now how
do I don't understand. I don't understand. That's frank, I
mean that is I already made one Mets batting average joke. Okay,
we're done with the Mets and the homestand many of
them jos for dame. Gotta save it for the next one.
(24:49):
I gave you the pen Alonzo one. That was the freebie.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
I don't understand how this is first active Major league
understand since Jimmy O'Connell in nineteen.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
To you mean lifetime? You mean guys bet right after
the Black Socks gambal Really of course, why not?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Because that's the other thing, is like the false narrative
that no, because of all the gambling ads. Look out, no,
now these guys are gambling. No, no, no, they've all
been gambling. The eBay thing was a bunch of guys that.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Were back door gambling and people that were running numbers
and everything there. This is incredibly.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Disturbing his level of futility because again, flipping the coin,
you're at fifty percent, right, just just shade under.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
So it's it's amazing. But I like to think that
as as a picking against the number, we do and
we pick up set specials, Yeah, do pretty well. Right.
But when I say pretty well, I mean, hey, if
I'm at sixty percent for a year, that's pretty good, right,
That's that's good. Well, But I mean, but like I said,
fifty five percent to be a winning gamble, if.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I went opposite of what I thought, I would still
win probably thirty five to forty of the Absolutely all
he had to do was go opposite of what he thought,
and the guy would be a bleep in multi millionaire man.
They're saying he bad about one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars of October twenty second and then July through November
(26:21):
with legal sportsbooks, so who knows what the other numbers are.
But it's also the when you've got the data. This
is to show you and really to put him up
as an example, not only for the lifetime ban, but
look how bad he was at it and now he's
given up his livelihood as a ballplayer to win four
(26:43):
percent of his bets. I mean, really, I just can't
get over how bad you are at that. At some
point I get that bet, you know, and I don't
know if gambling was something he did throughout his whole
life he had a gambling problem, or he was looking
for a way to try to make money. But at
some point, when you're losing, don't you say, hey.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I'm not really good. I'm really bad at this. I'm
not you know, I know it's a sunk costs. You
try to keep making the money, batch don't you go,
you know, when you lose your when you win two
out of your first fifty, don't you stop at that point? Well,
the Mets keep playing, I means do well. They have to.
There's games on the schedule and teams need to have
any equal schedule. Uh. But don't you I mean really
(27:21):
don't don't you say, hey, maybe this is not for me,
Maybe this is not my thing.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You're not confiding in someone that is going on. No,
it's it's someone doesn't have the because look, the bookie's
gonna keep taking your money, yes, sports books, as long
as the the money can be wired or you have
room on your credit card, they're gonna keep taking your money.
So you're not gonna get your you know, any feedback
there to say, you know what, we're gonna cut you off. No,
they're gonna keep taking your money. But you're not confiding
(27:48):
into someone, Wow, I'm really bad at this. You're in
perfect isolation behind your own wall. I don't know, just
really bad, really terrible. It's like in school and recognizing,
you know what, I really shouldn't pursue this course of study.
I've failed three in the first four classes I've taken
(28:08):
in this discipline.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You gotta let it go. Exit out bouta fresca, exit
swollen down. The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Carmon, Live from the tirec dot Com Studios. Uh,
coming up next. We had a big ejection tonight. We
got to get to and one of my big Bowl
predictions is already coming true this year. That's next right here,
(28:31):
Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
This is not the song, Liar, not the song. Fox
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Carmon, Live from the tirerac dot Com Studios. And
we watch now it's becoming a big story. Angel Reese
get tossed out of the Chicago Skis eight se five
(29:01):
lost tonight to the New York Liberal. She just got
ejected go on a big run in the fourth quarter,
and you've seen the video, and after a loose ball play,
it looks like she says something towards the referee. The
referee teas her up, and then it looks like she
kind of gives a dismissive wave at him, and that's
(29:21):
the second tee and she's thrown out of the game.
We would play the play by play of it for you,
except the announcers mess it up. They they get it wrong.
You don't even know who's getting ejected, like they think
somebody else is gonna So Laney Hamilton is standing there
and the camera's on her. She doesn't say a word
and she's just looking around, like, all right, what's the
actual call here? Because they call a loose ball fall
(29:42):
and there's three members of the sky that are in
on the play. So I was like, okay, who did
you call the fall on?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
So they're confused, but the announcers are like, wow, it's
on Laney Hamilton. She must have said a couple of
words to the referee and like she hasn't open her
mouth the entire time.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Now it's Angel Reese who gets tossed for those reasons.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
And now there's two takeaways from this right now, because
there's a you know, was this worthy of being thrown
out of a game? You don't know what is said,
what she said you know to him to throw him out,
But I guarantee you this after what happened this weekend.
I guarantee you there were conversations with the officials that
you need to have control of these games. We can't
(30:20):
have another official look right at Caitlin Clark get run
into from behind and have you just call a common
foul and look what happens over the next two days.
We look like a clown show and we don't know
what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
We can't have that. So when something happens, you take
control of this game. Now, is that something before this
that Angel Reis would have got tossed? That probably not,
but I guarantee you there was a Hey, you keep
control of this right Nobody runs unchecked and puts their
own agenda out there. We're at a very precarious time
right now, so I guarantee you there was a conversation
(30:54):
and that's why she was thrown out in that situation.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
And then you have a live microphone where Sabrina I
and ask you he's caught saying, wait, she got two
texts just for saying that's BS. Right, So yeah, she's
advocating because like really, because evidently she just turned the
officials say you know that that's a BS call and
gets the t and as she's walking off does the wave. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I mean, now, look, you don't know what maybe she
had been talking to the entire day. You don't know
it's one of them. But I guarantee you that's why
she got tosked, because okay, we got to keep control
of these games out but that was just embarrassing. Second
thing is this, I gave you this bold prediction before
the season started where I said, you know what, Caitlin
Clark's going to be Steph Curry the WNBA, and Angel
(31:40):
Reese is going to be Draymond Green because that's kind
of what her game is. She's not a great offensive player,
but she gets twelve to fourteen points a game. She's
a great rebounder, she's a great defender, she's a really
good passer, good she's a leader on the floor. And
I tweeted out if Kaylyn Clark's going to be Steph
Curry in the WNBA Angel Reese game is going to
(32:00):
be Draymond Green, but without the ejections. I might have
to change that to with the ejections, because that's that
she got one. She got one, and we know what
Draymond Green, he gets ejected all the time. I mean,
that's kind of a that's a very apt comparison because
that's kind of she's a glue player, and and she's
a popular player. And is she as talented as as
some of the other No, but she does a lot
(32:21):
of things. Really is the reason why she numbered six
overall pick in the w NBA draft and why she's
a big star coming in. She got a big following
on social media, just like Draymond podcasts soon, just like
Draymond Green. Probably.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
I mean, now it's going to be now Draymond with
the ejections. We're talking about it yesterday, right the you know,
folks trying to dismiss the me part of it. You know,
the quote was fun and it was also truncated because
she did talk about people laying the groundwork and other
players at the w NBA, but.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
She also said I'm gonna go down in his well.
She doesn't.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
No, I'm not dismissing that part. Just she did have
you know, on the back end said and these people do.
Don't forget these people. But the idea being that she's
got a fan base. And yes they may not pack arenas,
but they're selling merch. I have increased. I think it's
almost thirty percent. You know, their attendance in Chicago, which
(33:12):
is not nothing, right, it's not seventeen grand but no,
seventeen thousand people, But it's an increase. And she's a draw.
And when she speaks, yeah, people listen and want to comment. Look,
it's like we said last night, there's room for her.
There's room for everybody to be a star. You don't
need to fight over who's getting most of the attention
because you can't control it. There's room for you to
(33:34):
be a star. Caitlin Clark's going to be bigger because
she's a better player. She's a bigger player, she's more popular.
That's just how it goes. Doesn't mean you can't be
a star and be a big person, a big voice.
You already own a soccer team. I think you're doing
pretty well. You're a millionaire at the age of twenty
two and you're just starting out your career.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
You do it, but everybody wants to get caught up
with who's getting credit for this and who's that. But
there's room for her. She can be. She will be
one of the biggest stars of the WNBA without being
someone we say, Wow, she's like Sabrina Ironesque, or she's
Breonna Stewart, or she's Caitlin Clark or I mean, she's
still gonna be one of the biggest names. Maybe this
maybe when it gets down to it, it'll be Caitlin
(34:09):
and Angel rees will be the biggest names of the
next decade, which will be huge because it could be
like Magic and Larry coming in with two players. I mean,
it could be that kind of thing, is what we.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Talked about all along, Right, different styles, styles, as they
always say, make fights, and here you've got good, bad
hero villain all a matter of perspective. Right, as I
used the Joe Missoulan quote yesterday, we're all a villain
in somebody's eyes.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
And it's true.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
And the same thing here, right, So you got folks
that'll stand for Angel Reese, folks on the Clark side
of things. In this particular case, it's a referee, you
injected himself into a situation where he didn't need to,
like unless that was caught out a hot mic, because
I remember being court side at a game where Alan
Iverson was getting hammered by the Mavericks, and eventually everything
(34:56):
he said, all the blankety blanks to the official, showed
up on the parabolic mics to where the referee goes, well,
everybody heard that. So I got to tee you up now,
and maybe that was the Angel Reese moment.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Everybody heard it.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
It was just you and I were great, but everybody
now it's kind of emptying out, it's echoing. Here.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
We are exit on by de Fresca, Exit Swollen down

Are the White Sox winning? Now they're losing again. Oh
this is the Cubs. Yeah right, I know you can
lose all the other games. Yeah, well you don't lose
to these. You're tanking guys.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Williams. It's fine, he's already there. Yeah yeah, but you
gotta get him from the Bears to the White Sox.
Now it's you know, he's already taken over to him
in the city.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's they need to reconfigure everything before the move to Nashville.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Just gotta just got it. Whoa, whoa, wait, what's happening.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Oh that's been out there for a long time span.
It's kind of like the uh yeah, not the Bears.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
White tie. That's been out there forever. I don't know, man,
you've been looking to move to Arlington, different places all this.
Oh they bought all that land. Yeah, you know, they
bought the old race track. Sure, what are you gonna
do with it? Well, not everybody can live next to
JJ Abrams, Jese, this is this is true, you know, J.
J Abrams. I wonder if at any point he's listening
to our show going why they keep saying this guy
lives next to me. I don't understand. I think it's
(01:44):
safe to say he's never listened. You may and he
just doesn't know it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
With that giant plot of land and and the fortress
that you've built with your moat.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
You're the guy that doesn't pick up Benny's poop. Hey listen, No, no,
don't don't tag me with that. I always make sure
I pick up after my dog. No, stop, I don't
tag me with that that you can go into every
one of his movies.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
You're splicing right before, you know, a big death scene
for you.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
No, no, no, Ben, I always take care of Benny. No,
don't tag don't you don't try to put that on me.
You put doc out there, put that on me. You
you started it, you said, uh, so we got some
big baseball stuff coming up in a few minutes, because
the oddest story of the year. You thought you were
done with the gambling stories with the epey, but now
this has gotten really insane. I did love the Dodgers statement.
(02:40):
It's done. We consider it done. Don't talk about it anymore.
I tell you, by the time we got to June,
this story would disappear. The epe story would be over.
It's oh I told you me over and it's over.
And now now there's a new gambling story to come out.
You know, a player getting not only is he a
you know, get spending for life for gambling, he's actually
(03:00):
a really bad guest.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Statistically, statistically it's almost impossible.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
He's just historically bad. This guy, he's also horrible. I'm
blaming it on his interpreter. Yeah, well, that's the thing
you gotta have. What Yeah, but can you still do
that after ebey? I mean can you? I don't know it,
but I mean I think that's something they're they're kind
of wise to now, Like how many times could you
run the oh I didn't know what was in? How
(03:25):
many times ingredients? How many times did people run the
eye was hacked? Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean it's
I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
That works for years before people finally said no, you
you know what, I think they're all.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Lie, you get you get the one, you get the
one time to blame an interpreter. Now no one can
blame an interpreter anymore. Can't do it. Uh. But look,
big story out of the NFL, and this is a
really Look. We had a great fun debate with c. J. Stroud,
who decided I don't like Aaron Rodgers and I'm going
to troll him. Yeah. Lie, Big news today in the NFL,
as Christian McCaffrey, the best running back in the sport,
(03:56):
agrees to a two year, thirty eight million dollars extension
with the San Francisco forty nine ers. If you want
to do math really fast, that's nineteen million dollars a year.
First thing I'm gonna say is this not that I'm
always a big guy about collusion, but do you think
it's surprising that when NFL salaries look like they get
to a point where, hey, we're getting out of control
(04:18):
here a little bit, you add the best wide receiver
set the market yesterday the best running back set the
market today. I don't think there's any coincidence that the
two guys who genuinely across the board, every evaluator, team
agent would say, Okay, this guy's the best guy.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Maybe he's not the absolute most talented, but when you
factor everything in how young he is, what he produces,
this is a guy that should be getting setting the market.
I don't think there's any coincidence. Justin Jefferson Christian McCaffrey
in a two day spend it said, okay, here's where
it's at now for running backs and wide receivers.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, it's a little bit that stinks.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I mean, it's a day or two old, right, something
you left out on the counter, and it's like, you know,
it's something wafting, right, it's not overpowering, right, We like,
what is that smell?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Is that the garbage? Is that something else, I want
to go something. Did you take your shoes off? Maybe
your feet? I mean, you got something going on here,
But is it your feet? Well it could be hey,
sticky feet. Those feet are bad, okay.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
But the idea being that is it collusive versus just
pragmatic and that And that's.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Where the owners of teams.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Where you have other wide receivers and running backs and
it's not really the running back the position right now,
but it's certainly the wide receivers right because we've got
a number of guys Chase Lamb. We talk about ayuk
slash Debo in terms of where they're headed, and we
could find several others on the board as well, where
(05:47):
it's the all right, we don't want to overpay these guys, right,
We don't want to And looks Cincinnati, he's got the
built in excuse. We never wanted to pay anybody, right,
We didn't want to give anybody anything, which is why
they were always ranked last. Although I think Adam thiel
And let the cat out of the bag no pun
intended that the Panthers have the worst facilities and everything now,
(06:08):
which is why they're looking at it upgrade. But yeah,
I think to your point, you get into all right,
collusive coincidence versus pragmatism and trying to decide where you are.
And if you're Roger Goodell, you're putting your head, you know,
firmly between some peaky blinders.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And I think that the collusion is is such a
it's so slyly done now that this is more of
a Hey, we're not going to really sign anybody outside
getting out of free agency. We're not going to sign
anybody until the Vikings signed Justin Jefferson, until the forty
nine ers figure out. But that's just men. We're not
going to be held right. You saw change side these
(06:49):
guys say about CD Lamb. I want to see how
the how the free agency market does settles before I
want up giving CD some money. Star not surprising, I
mean it is it kind of a slyish collusion. Again,
the best running back, best wide receiver two days you
think they did.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, but again in the running back position, is there
anybody comparable?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
No? And here's the right.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
So that's off to the side, and here's the great debate.
And here's the great debate. He gets nineteen million a
year and he should he's the best running back in
the NFL. How many guys, let's just use fifteen million
dollars as the tipping point. How many guys? How many
running backs? Would I give fifteen million dollars a year?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Two? Right? I'll tell you right now, there's two guys
i'd give it to. And there's two guys if they
did it another year, I would give it to. Okay,
and it doesn't sound not players you're thinking about the
first two guys, I'd give fifteen million dollars a year
two right now, because I know how good they are
and how young they are. Brese Hall and Jamier Gibbs.
These are the guys I give that money to. Brisall
(07:51):
already is yet. Look he was injured last year or
two years ago. Last year second most all purpose yards
were running back. The guy is phenomenal. Jamiir Gibbs through
no fault of his own. Hey, we're gonna keep giving
the ball to Dave Montgomery, but Jamirga Okay, that's fine,
because you need that dual threat guy who is going
to catch passes out of the backfield and be able
to have a pretty good success running the football.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Those are the only guys I give it to. I
can't give it to Rashad White. Why the guys three
and a half yards of carry? I mean, he's not special, right,
he does great out of the backfield, He's terrific, But
you need to be able to run the football a
little bit because that's in the title of position, is
running back. So there's a couple of guys. I'm like,
it's a condition. I can't give it to you when.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You're averaging under four yards of carry. I got to
see him do it again. Well, he's got two years
of pretty good far in the rear again, but last
year in healthy for the seasonly this week he's going
on with Breese. Hall is fine. Hall is clearly you
didn't see the update. He's fine. What's the update? Uh?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
And as for Gibbs, Gibbs is phenomenals. He's same same
question in terms of is he going to be able
to be that guy like McCaffrey to the level of
usage and that I don't know was it forced with
Montgomery or is there something more to the we can
(09:15):
only give this guy well, and they definitely look they
definitely brought him along right right the like like they
brought him along exp Okay, because everybody wanted to see
the ball way more in the beginning of the season.
But it's but this is it's mostly fantasy owners. He
climbed for him in b John Robinson. These guys have
to be here. But you drafted Montgomery is a pretty
good player, and they paid him a lot of money
(09:36):
to be there.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah, but Jamier is also a guy. You drafted him
pretty high and you want to see him play. But
this again, this, this is why we talk about great
coaches and and and we talked okay, even though look
he biffed the end of the last playoff game, but
look here's Dan Campbell saying, no, we're bringing Jamiir Gibbs
a long slow and look what happened. He was playing
his best football at the end of the season. Right
he would He did not hit the rookie wall. He
(09:57):
didn't that right, it was he was use so who
was good. But now when you average five yards to
carry and you do what you do in the past
the game, you see electric the guy is it's time
to give him a little bit more responsibility. You can
instead of Montgomery getting ten more touches a game than Gibbs,
you can you can at least this year that can.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Be ye, but yeah again, but those are the guys
fifteen million dollars, go do it again.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
But no, the guys I want to see do it again.
These are the guys. If they did it again, I
would give fifteen million dollars a year. Two. And this
is not contract, this is just guys. I would pay
fifteen million dollars a year. Two. Uh, James Cook and
Bjeon Robinson, these are the guys. I'd give fifteen million
dollars a year. Two. B Jhon Robinson just fight. Maybe
now this year they'll give him the football. It's like,
why aren't you Why does he have four touches? Yeah?
(10:43):
I don't know. I mean that was just stupid. No, No,
I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I can't do it because I felt bad he didn't
get used last year. Here's a bunch of money to compensate. No,
you got to now go perform, but you don't see
his talent. And if you got to go brows another year? Right,
and James Cook as great a year as he had
last year, okay, but as a lead back and and
and beat off and beat out all the comers.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Uh, that was great. So but he does it again
he's another guy. I'd give that money to so Cook.
If Cook and Robinson can continue their growth through it again,
I'd give them fifteen million. Haul and Gibbs I give
fifteen million. Two that's it. They're running acts.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I might giving them fifteen That's still it's still a
big position, man, I gets still a big position. And
I'm still reticent to all four of them, the two guys.
I want to see him do it again.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I want to see Gibbs show me that he can
do eighteen to twenty two touches a game over a
long haul before I'm there. And breshall at acl still
in the in the rear view mirror a whole year
though of being healthy.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
What's the briefs? All up practicing due to some lower
half stuff. Yeah, he's fine. He was cleaning up your
language with lower halfs still half stuff. He's screwed, like
James Cook. He's fine.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
He's here's a guy that can prove it this year
because that team is gonna change.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
They have to, right. I mean, the two big weapons
you have are now Cooking, Dalton Kin Kate, Like those
are your two big guys.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
So you're you're looking at changing, and I wouldn't be
surprised to see something shake out with him in the
wide receiver position before we get to opening day. But
either way, you're you're hand out funny money for running backs.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Now. No, you know now, but you know Frost. You
know what I'm really concerned about. That breeze Hall is fine.
What I'm really concerned about is Robert Sala saying today, Hey,
you know a son, Reddick hasn't been at Ota. He goes, yeah,
he's fine. Have you talked to him?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I haven't. What do you mean? No, I haven't talked
to him since he got him. Wait, what do you mean?
I haven't talked to him, haven't talked to him in much?
I haven't talked to the guy in money. What do
you mean? We just traded to bring him. We let
guys go. You can bring in his son, Reddick. You
haven't talked to the guys. Don't say it. This is
what I know. That's just it. You gotta sell. This
is what I mean when I say a star. We
(12:55):
started the show by talking about how a star can
can cover all ills. That's like Roger has to cover
all of these ills. Like, wait a minute, the big
guy you got in the off season you coach doesn't
even talked.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
To, could have asked some more questions about the offensive line.
She got a couple of guys that are longer in
the two things you talk to me.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
No I have a talked to have a talk to him.
I'd be really So there you go. There's your four guys.

(14:46):
on old garage tapes.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Now I gotta do it garage tapes, revisiting this. I
pulled this off my cassette. I had this, no, I
had this in the garage. I got this ready now
for you clean with the feedback in the beginning and everything.
Had this on, had this on an eight track. It's
really good. Well, I mean that might have explained his
whereabouts cleaning out.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
He was filling in on the herd, and Tyshre was
and he was he was playing Tears for Fears on
the herd, which I think is just genius. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Well, I mean, you got to remember where he came
from until until he gets a note next time where
they go, uh, hey, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
So so and so is out Alex. We're gonna ask
you but but Collins asked you to not fell in
because he's not a fan of your music, so you're
not gonna be able to to I've heard stories he's
told people to stop playing songs before, never made okay,
all right until I tell him, hey, dude, do me
a favorite. Just you better not. But now I want
to know what song.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
But now I don't want to know what songs can't
be played on the herd. I mean that's some intrigue.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I no, you know, I think, and they're meant to
make you cry. There's there's certain times where songs even
played like in the last ten years, where like, ooh,
that's a bad memory for me, but I just kind
of blow past it.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Well, We've also had a couple that were a little
too on the nose for that story we were about
to do, and it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Don't want it, Jason. My knees were weak and heavy,
vomit on my sweater and you cut me off. On
the surface, you look calm and ready to drop bombs,
but you keep it. Vacation in Detroit. Yeah, it was
pretty good. I'm like, I think the thing is Eminem
is Eminem. It's weird, Like He's what I thought about
(16:30):
Eminem's new track Real Fast is that Remember when Billy
Crystal stopped hosting the Oscars because the best Oscar host
we've ever seen, he had a run during the nineties
early two thousands and he Starver was on that writing group.
I mean, that was that was genius. It was great.
Then they brought him back after he was away for
like ten years, and you're like, oh, it's kind of
the same thing and where you thought it was gonna be, Oh, man,
(16:51):
I'm gonna get to see Billy do his thing, and
it was like, oh, you I've kind of seen this
a lot. Like I feel like Eminem still has the
same sound that he had in the early two thousands,
and when he's had new songs. I'm like, okay, well, okay, yeah, okay,
this is kind of okay.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I mean it's a CDC. Like there's certain bands that
it's why I take two or three.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
That's why listen. Why don't listen to Power Up or
Black Eyes. That's why when I'm in the car, listen
to you know, High Voltage or you know, if you
want blood, You've got it or something like that. Don't
listen to this. So you're saying he's not talented. No,
I'm saying he's talented. It's like, sometimes i'd like to
you know, as much as I don't want to say, oh,
I'd like to hear an artist evolved.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I sometimes I like to hear an artists too different things.
We're gonna play a song off our new one, Beer Time.
That's kind of how it got Like okay, that that's
kind of all right. Okay, you like it, you don't
love it, It's okay, it's all right. I mean, on
Board right is a track speaking No.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I like it, But to say, I'm like, okay, so
I've kind of I've kind of eminem does this thing? Okay,
all right, it's kind of cool. But I'm like, oh, Wow,
I'm not gonna go crazy and listening to it all
the time, like over and over and over it. But
it is one of those things that you you love
it or hate it.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
It's always good when artists who've kind of been in
the background decide, Hey, you know what, the Lions are good,
it's time to release some new music. I can get
back in front of a camera because I'm a Lions guy,
and now I release some new music.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
The only song I never want to hear on the
show and absolutely can you cannot play it? And I
don't know. I think it's a Justin Bieber song and
it just has that over and over and over again,
and I'm like, I can't have that. I just gotta
figure out that. I think it's Justin Bieber. He's going
to parse that out. Can't do it, can't do it.
(18:40):
No zz top Rule on My Weekend. It's one of
the guys that just was obsessed and it's a while
like what you say, No, it's not the song, that's
not it. It's not no no, it's like a whistling
like a in the chorus. Now that's the whole song.
Is that that's It's in the entire so it's in
(19:02):
the entire song. I want to say it's that's the
song though, but that's the song because I and that's
the whole thing. I'm like, okay, we got to have
that stuff. But I think I think it's Bieber. I'm
not one hundred percent because when I hear it, I
turned this off. But I think it's Bier. I think
it's Biber from about ten twelve years ago. I want
to say, maybe that's about what it is. Okay, the
(19:23):
boys easy to You're like when they would spin the
guitars be able to play it sp.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I they would play the same two or three songs, like,
you know what, there's a lot of songs out there
that we can if we're gonna go classic rocks, you could.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Really there's a wide berth.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
If nothing else, I can start doing like some folks
do and just say here's all you rejoice music for
the rest of the night.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
That's it rained. I mean, look, if you if you
want to sprinkle it in now and again, it's all good. Dude.
I just became this same thing.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
It's like, I don't have an affinity to this, so
why are you screwing me over every Sunday watch, so
the greatest clothes catching moment in baseball history. White Sox
runner second base in the ninth can tell your.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Story, Tell your story. I'm freestyling and you're just knowing
how howey thing about the White Soxs. You just started to.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Say greatest I'm just gonna start talking.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
About Jason freestyling because we don't need a free style.
Yes they do, because my freestyling is awesome. You're not Eminem.
Sure you kidding? You're Papa Do. I'm the sports written No,
I actually say stuff. I'm not Papa Doc. I'm the
sports version of Eminem. I've had some kind of long
ass career. So you're gonna break the people of Detroit's
hearts after this again. First, you cost the lines that
(20:51):
I picked them. I took the lines, bars, I took
the I don't know what's left. No, it's it's listen.
I will find a way to find something good about
Detroit because I always do title. I got the Lions
to the I got the lines to within three breaths
(21:14):
of the Super Bowl, which nobody thought. I did my job, man,
I did my job just like Colonel jessbit a few
good men. I did my job. I'd do it again.
I did my did my job. Maybe you heard the
name in the last couple of days of Tukupeda Marcano. Uh,
this is the player who was suspended for life by
Major League Baseball for gambling pirates player, you know, utility
(21:37):
player who was on the injured list last year or
the torn acl Uh. It was found out while he
was on the injured list, he was betting a ton
on Major League Baseball and he was betting on pirates games.
And this story that you hear. We get stories like
this every now and again. Here's the players who should
have been betting, but they do. And a lot of
times it's players who aren't making a lot of money.
(21:59):
Figure out, Hey, can I find a way that makes
him use my knowledge of the sport and makes him
extra cash here and there? And you've seen that a
lot of injured passing time. Look, the biggest name was
Calvin Ridley. Obviously we saw him. Hey, you know, he
served a year suspension for it. But this this guy
took a Peter Marconnell like nobody really knows he is.
In Pittsburgh. You'd probably have a working knowledge of who
he is. But now he's suspended for life from baseball. Now,
(22:20):
this is the crazy part of this is that the
information about his bets has come to life. He bet
on the Pittsburgh Pirates twenty five times? How many of
those bets you think he won? Not betting on the Pirates.
So understanding, you're already starting with ninety losses? All right,
(22:42):
betting betting twenty five times on the Pirates? How many
times did he win? Did he bet on them to win?
He bet? How many times do you think he won
those bets? Four zero for twenty five? Here you go,
oh for twenty because I know his overall success right now?
Three eight seven total bets. Yeah, look that's a that's
a ped Alonzo homestand oh for twenty five. Okay, overall
(23:07):
he made hundreds of bets. Yeah, they're saying three eighty
seven was the number circulating. Mainly his bets were on
win loss and over under for the number of runs
scored in Carlay action. But that's mainly what he did,
betting win losses and over under. He won hundreds of bets, Now,
hundreds of bets. He won four point three percent of
(23:29):
his wagers. Okay, So not only does he get banned
from the sport. He may be the worst gambler in
the world. He could have just flipped the coils like
you could go better.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
You could go back to the old West in like
the eighteen hundreds, and if you cheated a poker game,
you got shot.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
And this guy's worse than those guys are. I mean,
my good four percent? How do you? How do you
only succeed four percent of the time? Even if I
tried to say, instead of picking winners and losers, I'm
gonna pick who I think is gonna lose, Right, I'm
gonna try to pick to lose. I think so and
so is gonna win this game. Like I'll get the
(24:07):
Lions giving three. If I think the Lions are gonna cover,
I'm gonna go the other way and I will still
win at least what thirty three thirty five percent of
my bets If I'm betting against what I think, Okay,
I'm still gonna win. I'm still gonna win thirty percent
of my bets. How do you miss? How do you
four percent? Let's say the guy only bet one hundred times.
(24:29):
That means you won four times out of one hundred,
and it was more than one hundred. So now how
do I don't understand. I don't understand. That's frank, I
mean that is I already made one Mets batting average joke. Okay,
we're done with the Mets and the homestand many of
them jos for dame. Gotta save it for the next one.
(24:49):
I gave you the pen Alonzo one. That was the freebie.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
I don't understand how this is first active Major league
understand since Jimmy O'Connell in nineteen.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
To you mean lifetime? You mean guys bet right after
the Black Socks gambal Really of course, why not?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Because that's the other thing, is like the false narrative
that no, because of all the gambling ads. Look out, no,
now these guys are gambling. No, no, no, they've all
been gambling. The eBay thing was a bunch of guys that.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Were back door gambling and people that were running numbers
and everything there. This is incredibly.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Disturbing his level of futility because again, flipping the coin,
you're at fifty percent, right, just just shade under.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
So it's it's amazing. But I like to think that
as as a picking against the number, we do and
we pick up set specials, Yeah, do pretty well. Right.
But when I say pretty well, I mean, hey, if
I'm at sixty percent for a year, that's pretty good, right,
That's that's good. Well, But I mean, but like I said,
fifty five percent to be a winning gamble, if.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I went opposite of what I thought, I would still
win probably thirty five to forty of the Absolutely all
he had to do was go opposite of what he thought,
and the guy would be a bleep in multi millionaire man.
They're saying he bad about one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars of October twenty second and then July through November
(26:21):
with legal sportsbooks, so who knows what the other numbers are.
But it's also the when you've got the data. This
is to show you and really to put him up
as an example, not only for the lifetime ban, but
look how bad he was at it and now he's
given up his livelihood as a ballplayer to win four
(26:43):
percent of his bets. I mean, really, I just can't
get over how bad you are at that. At some
point I get that bet, you know, and I don't
know if gambling was something he did throughout his whole
life he had a gambling problem, or he was looking
for a way to try to make money. But at
some point, when you're losing, don't you say, hey.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I'm not really good. I'm really bad at this. I'm
not you know, I know it's a sunk costs. You
try to keep making the money, batch don't you go,
you know, when you lose your when you win two
out of your first fifty, don't you stop at that point? Well,
the Mets keep playing, I means do well. They have to.
There's games on the schedule and teams need to have
any equal schedule. Uh. But don't you I mean really
(27:21):
don't don't you say, hey, maybe this is not for me,
Maybe this is not my thing.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You're not confiding in someone that is going on. No,
it's it's someone doesn't have the because look, the bookie's
gonna keep taking your money, yes, sports books, as long
as the the money can be wired or you have
room on your credit card, they're gonna keep taking your money.
So you're not gonna get your you know, any feedback
there to say, you know what, we're gonna cut you off. No,
they're gonna keep taking your money. But you're not confiding
(27:48):
into someone, Wow, I'm really bad at this. You're in
perfect isolation behind your own wall. I don't know, just
really bad, really terrible. It's like in school and recognizing,
you know what, I really shouldn't pursue this course of study.
I've failed three in the first four classes I've taken
(28:08):
in this discipline.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You gotta let it go. Exit out bouta fresca, exit
swollen down. The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Carmon, Live from the tirec dot Com Studios. Uh,
coming up next. We had a big ejection tonight. We
got to get to and one of my big Bowl
predictions is already coming true this year. That's next right here,
(28:31):
Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
This is not the song, Liar, not the song. Fox
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Carmon, Live from the tirerac dot Com Studios. And
we watch now it's becoming a big story. Angel Reese
get tossed out of the Chicago Skis eight se five
(29:01):
lost tonight to the New York Liberal. She just got
ejected go on a big run in the fourth quarter,
and you've seen the video, and after a loose ball play,
it looks like she says something towards the referee. The
referee teas her up, and then it looks like she
kind of gives a dismissive wave at him, and that's
(29:21):
the second tee and she's thrown out of the game.
We would play the play by play of it for you,
except the announcers mess it up. They they get it wrong.
You don't even know who's getting ejected, like they think
somebody else is gonna So Laney Hamilton is standing there
and the camera's on her. She doesn't say a word
and she's just looking around, like, all right, what's the
actual call here? Because they call a loose ball fall
(29:42):
and there's three members of the sky that are in
on the play. So I was like, okay, who did
you call the fall on?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
So they're confused, but the announcers are like, wow, it's
on Laney Hamilton. She must have said a couple of
words to the referee and like she hasn't open her
mouth the entire time.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Now it's Angel Reese who gets tossed for those reasons.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
And now there's two takeaways from this right now, because
there's a you know, was this worthy of being thrown
out of a game? You don't know what is said,
what she said you know to him to throw him out,
But I guarantee you this after what happened this weekend.
I guarantee you there were conversations with the officials that
you need to have control of these games. We can't
(30:20):
have another official look right at Caitlin Clark get run
into from behind and have you just call a common
foul and look what happens over the next two days.
We look like a clown show and we don't know
what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
We can't have that. So when something happens, you take
control of this game. Now, is that something before this
that Angel Reis would have got tossed? That probably not,
but I guarantee you there was a Hey, you keep
control of this right Nobody runs unchecked and puts their
own agenda out there. We're at a very precarious time
right now, so I guarantee you there was a conversation
(30:54):
and that's why she was thrown out in that situation.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
And then you have a live microphone where Sabrina I
and ask you he's caught saying, wait, she got two
texts just for saying that's BS. Right, So yeah, she's
advocating because like really, because evidently she just turned the
officials say you know that that's a BS call and
gets the t and as she's walking off does the wave. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I mean, now, look, you don't know what maybe she
had been talking to the entire day. You don't know
it's one of them. But I guarantee you that's why
she got tosked, because okay, we got to keep control
of these games out but that was just embarrassing. Second
thing is this, I gave you this bold prediction before
the season started where I said, you know what, Caitlin
Clark's going to be Steph Curry the WNBA, and Angel
(31:40):
Reese is going to be Draymond Green because that's kind
of what her game is. She's not a great offensive player,
but she gets twelve to fourteen points a game. She's
a great rebounder, she's a great defender, she's a really
good passer, good she's a leader on the floor. And
I tweeted out if Kaylyn Clark's going to be Steph
Curry in the WNBA Angel Reese game is going to
(32:00):
be Draymond Green, but without the ejections. I might have
to change that to with the ejections, because that's that
she got one. She got one, and we know what
Draymond Green, he gets ejected all the time. I mean,
that's kind of a that's a very apt comparison because
that's kind of she's a glue player, and and she's
a popular player. And is she as talented as as
some of the other No, but she does a lot
(32:21):
of things. Really is the reason why she numbered six
overall pick in the w NBA draft and why she's
a big star coming in. She got a big following
on social media, just like Draymond podcasts soon, just like
Draymond Green. Probably.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
I mean, now it's going to be now Draymond with
the ejections. We're talking about it yesterday, right the you know,
folks trying to dismiss the me part of it. You know,
the quote was fun and it was also truncated because
she did talk about people laying the groundwork and other
players at the w NBA, but.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
She also said I'm gonna go down in his well.
She doesn't.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
No, I'm not dismissing that part. Just she did have
you know, on the back end said and these people do.
Don't forget these people. But the idea being that she's
got a fan base. And yes they may not pack arenas,
but they're selling merch. I have increased. I think it's
almost thirty percent. You know, their attendance in Chicago, which
(33:12):
is not nothing, right, it's not seventeen grand but no,
seventeen thousand people, But it's an increase. And she's a draw.
And when she speaks, yeah, people listen and want to comment. Look,
it's like we said last night, there's room for her.
There's room for everybody to be a star. You don't
need to fight over who's getting most of the attention
because you can't control it. There's room for you to
(33:34):
be a star. Caitlin Clark's going to be bigger because
she's a better player. She's a bigger player, she's more popular.
That's just how it goes. Doesn't mean you can't be
a star and be a big person, a big voice.
You already own a soccer team. I think you're doing
pretty well. You're a millionaire at the age of twenty
two and you're just starting out your career.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
You do it, but everybody wants to get caught up
with who's getting credit for this and who's that. But
there's room for her. She can be. She will be
one of the biggest stars of the WNBA without being
someone we say, Wow, she's like Sabrina Ironesque, or she's
Breonna Stewart, or she's Caitlin Clark or I mean, she's
still gonna be one of the biggest names. Maybe this
maybe when it gets down to it, it'll be Caitlin
(34:09):
and Angel rees will be the biggest names of the
next decade, which will be huge because it could be
like Magic and Larry coming in with two players. I mean,
it could be that kind of thing, is what we.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Talked about all along, Right, different styles, styles, as they
always say, make fights, and here you've got good, bad
hero villain all a matter of perspective. Right, as I
used the Joe Missoulan quote yesterday, we're all a villain
in somebody's eyes.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
And it's true.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
And the same thing here, right, So you got folks
that'll stand for Angel Reese, folks on the Clark side
of things. In this particular case, it's a referee, you
injected himself into a situation where he didn't need to,
like unless that was caught out a hot mic, because
I remember being court side at a game where Alan
Iverson was getting hammered by the Mavericks, and eventually everything
(34:56):
he said, all the blankety blanks to the official, showed
up on the parabolic mics to where the referee goes, well,
everybody heard that. So I got to tee you up now,
and maybe that was the Angel Reese moment.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Everybody heard it.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
It was just you and I were great, but everybody
now it's kind of emptying out, it's echoing. Here.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
