Sunday morning, six a m. Pacific time, in earnest doing
(01:11):
a lot of previewing of Game two of the NBA Finals.
We've got some more storylines coming out of Game one
and reaction. We'll get to Jason Tatum in a moment.
But you sent me something that was starting to circulate
in the Twitter verse here, Ryan related to one Lebron
James and something he did in the social media sphere,
(01:32):
which has really become a big deal the last couple
of years. When a player is dissatisfied with the team
he's with, starts to scrub some of the pictures, starts
to scrub some of the links, maybe takes a logo
off of their page. Maybe now it's them in a
biker outfit instead of in a uniform. I don't know,
(01:52):
whatever the case may be. You like that now you
got that image, didn't you?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Who's in a biker outfit?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I don't know. I just just had you know. I
had to dodge a couple of motorcyclists today traffic. Traffic
was moving pretty well on the four or five, two
days in a row. I don't know what this this
desk is made out of here, but I'm knocking, hoping
that it's the beginning of a nice easy summer on
(02:20):
the freeways. Yesterday, I kid you, not right. The expectation
was Smith was going to be working from home, like
we'd come in the first couple of days of the week.
He had some stuff running around, final days of school
with his daughter and all, and he is like, I'm
gonna probably work from home. And then he calls me
and he's on the way in to the office and
(02:40):
now it's like five forty five, and now I live
pretty far south of lax And on a good night,
and I call it a good night. It's usually about
an hour and fifteen minute drive for me coming in
on the freeway to get into the studio to come
hang out with Mary, Shay and Steve and the team
in the back right with Brie and Crandle getting it on,
(03:01):
and it takes forever. Right, that's a good day. Some
days it pushes towards two hours. And I pulled up
the map as he's telling me he's driving, and he goes, well,
you know game one. I'm like, I tried to argue
that with you yesterday, said you're staying home, Like all right,
So I pull up the map and it says, all right,
you can get there in forty minutes. I got here
in thirty eight minutes flat, absolutely absurd, record breaking time.
(03:23):
That wasn't on a Sunday morning at four am coming
in to do radio with you, but today double down,
same thing. But then because in California, the knucklehead motorcyclists
and I love you the person, not you as a motorcyclist. Uh,
they're doing eighty and weaving between lanes because legally you
(03:44):
can weave between lanes. Now eighty's obviously above speed limit,
but you think you've got to clear it all of
a sudden whoa, whoa, whoa. So you know you head
on a swivel when you know the traffic gods giveth
potentially given take it away with guys on their biker gear.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yeah, my dad used to do that. We always feared
he dropped his bike. Finally that didn't, that wasn't what
did him in, But we always told him, man, dude,
we're not cool with you'd ride that bike.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I saw a guy get flipped about three months ago, right,
he weaved, he got back in and then the guy
stopped short and well I saw a guy flying without
his bike.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of it.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
No, but there you go. That's why the biker came up.
So you got that. Lebron James has now unfollowed Ben
Simmons and Kendrick Perkins. He decided he'd have had enough
hot take nonsense from his former draft class mate right
two thousand and three, two thousand and four, when Perk
(04:53):
came into the league with the Celtics. I remember it
because I have the two thousand and three, two thousand
and four Kendrick Perkins top Scrum rookie cards sitting there.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yeah, you are big on cards. But listen, we talked
about this earlier in the show. Perk is my guy.
I thought this was unnecessary, and Lebron is doing a podcast.
I think it is appropriate due to the relationship that
he has with Kyrie, the statements that he made and
(05:28):
perchislated to him. Man, I listen, I didn't think the
shoe fit right now. Now, there's some moments. Can we
say Lebron kind of made things about him in certain times? Yeah,
it's fair enough. You know, he'd probably tell you that, Hey,
I know what I was doing.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
You know, it's all calculated. None of it has happened. Stance,
Hebron doesn't stumble into things that doesn't happen.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
But I don't think in this statement, I think Perk
was wrong. I don't. I think Lebron was just doing
his podcast with Jaja. Now there's is there more behind it?
If not, I don't, I don't know. I don't know,
But I do think that Burke was wrong here and
ruffles ruffled feathers. As soon as I saw it, I
was surprised. I was like, Wow, Burke is he's going
(06:13):
in on bro Man. That that one's that one surprised me.
And then the unfollowing, I mean, it's weird. I just
hate our society right now. Man, You unfollow, you follow someone,
everybody's watching and paying attention. It's it's it's a thing now.
I mean, I guess I follow you no, But that.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
That's the difficult thing though. Ryan. We were actually just
talking about it with you know, Shay, Shaye and Mary
and I, you know, trying to figure we got a
story at forty five, Like Shae was sending us some
some tweets you and I earlier as we're prepping for
the show of a Fighting League that's come up, and
we got to go through the card and watch ability
(06:52):
and whether we start giving it some some airtime overall
because it's it is, it's interesting, but also just in
terms of addressing people and day to day not knowing
where the line is where you're going to offend people.
I assume in four hours of doing radio, if I
had to do the I'm sorry thing right to take
from a long running show here in LA You've got
(07:15):
Heidi and Frank on Friday mornings. By the end of
the show, they've assembled a list of anybody they may
have offended in any of the jokes and stories that
they talked about that day. Every now and again, I
feel like I should do that sitting here with Smith,
because you might have taken this the wrong way. Ah,
you might have taken that one line and not heard
the full context. How all of those things?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
How do you think Lebron can take this? Take from Perk?
You know what Perk saying? How else can Lebron kind
of you know, like relay that message or accept it?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
No, that's just it, right, It's hard, right, It's the personal,
you know, reaching out whatever and trying to come to
to some sort of agree to disagree or you see
my side, I see yours, whatever, or you do this
act and in when you when you take this move, it,
you know, shows that that there's a break that has
(08:11):
to go to you know, with with Perk you know
some of it, and with Lebron and the Reddick podcast.
Up until Danny Hurley's name comes out, uh yesterday, was
presumed he was going to be the guy, and in
the background was well, the podcast seemed to be a
month long audition. Ha ha, Right, and that's kind of
where it it. That was the you know, chuckle, snort,
(08:35):
point watch laugh whatever they deride it all. I thought
it was going to be fascinating, like and look, it's
not done. Danny Hurley to my knowledge as of this moment,
hasn't signed a deal. Still might just be leveraging Yukon
for all he can get. I don't know what what's truth,
what's fiction, and what JJ Reddick would be if he
were the coach, uh, and what that assembly of assistance
(08:58):
would be. But yeah, yeah, certainly in the hot take
nonsense business that we get into in this space sometimes Ryan,
you know, guys go for the punchline and hope it's
just gonna gloss over. Problem is when you're going with
a guy of Lebron's scope, someone's gonna hear it in
his circle and it's gonna get back and you don't
(09:21):
know how that's gonna hit, or maybe you do.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Yeah, listen, look man, because Perk is going to bat
for Bron, you know, several times. Yeah, yeah, so I
will say, look like I said, this one surprised me.
I didn't see it coming. And you know, it is
tough in our shoes. We have to give takes, we
(09:45):
have to speak about things, and you know, maybe Perk
was trying. It almost felt like maybe Perk was trying
to say, hey, I'm gonna be fair in this, or
hey I'm gonna go as hard on Lebron as I
go on everybody else. That's I almost felt like he
was proving that point. I don't think if that well,
I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I think you're one hundred percent right, just saying, look,
if this was any other player and any other circumstance
like this, where maybe and again, do you buy the
idea that Lebron is telling them no, no, no, don't
worry about me with the coaching search, because I don't
buy that for a second. Like I've had so many
insiders throw that up as the line of no, no, no,
(10:27):
He's saying you've got to do this, gotta do that,
like he's got no say I don't buy that. And
if nothing else, Clutch certainly has some say with the
number of players that are there on that roster. But
to that point, yeah, I think Perk to some degree
was trying to at least put himself in the position of, hey,
(10:47):
I got to be fair to this that if this
was any other player, I'd be killing him or everybody
else would be killing him. And unfortunately it feels I
you know, try to and put yourself in Lebron's shoes
for a minute, just feels like piling on because you
know you're gonna get the usual suspects that are gonna
have their strong takes against him. And you know who
(11:09):
they are. If you listen to sports talk radio and
watch sports television as you do, you're hanging out with
us on a Friday night into Saturday morning. Yeah, you
know who those guys are. You know the others that
are going to be sick of fans the other way
that Lebron can do no wrong and carry the water
for him at every turn. Obviously, the truth somewhere in between,
and then you get Perk. You know, a long time
(11:30):
relationship going back a couple of decades. Tried to be
in the middle and play it fair, and it comes
off stronger because he's never been on that side or
hasn't been on that side that regularly. And like Michael
Jordan used to look at that iPad, I took that personally, Yeah,
well now you're unfollowed.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I mean he went like, this wasn't doing fair like
he just went hard. He went hard. But again, yet
know Perk goes hard at a lot of people. They
in all fairness, he definitely has. But listen, we thought
Lebron and for the most part with Perk keep being
off limits. Apparently not.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
But you know, Ryan, like, what's the biggest criticism? It
is like, all right, keep that energy right? How often
do you hear that in our business?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
The unfollow was big, Mike, do you feel like the
do you hate the unfollower? You are you like all
in with the unfold?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
It seems like a childlike thing, but it's a real thing.
But it's a real thing. In the last couple of years,
it's been a real thing.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
If I looked up today and you unfollowed me or tomorrow,
I'd be furious, and then it's like it'd be weird,
like we'd see each other in studio or something and
like hey Mike, Hey, hey, right, you know, like.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Like energy, Yeah, one of those kind of things. So
what do you got change?
Speaker 5 (12:52):
So yeah, I'm obviously I'm a little younger. I'm twenty four.
Like the unfollowed thing has always been around for us.
Social media has always been a thing with me. The
only time I could see the unfollowed being like an
all right thing is with exes. It's that's generally the
only time I can see.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
But even that, folks generally still follow each other because
you still want to check up on what everybody's doing,
or maybe you still have friends or whatever in common.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I don't, And I don't like the thing with the
excesses too, because you do it and it's like, oh,
she's available, now she's not even if they're not even
and then it's like, look, we're not even following each other.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
But that's the point, Like that's that's the whole point
of unfollowing people. It's like, Okay, we're not cool anymore,
or you upset me or whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
But that's the thing. Though, then you hear about it
because you still got friends in common, if you've been
together front of length of time or going to school
together or whatever. So you're gonna hear the stuff. So
is it better to see it online yourself and not unfollow,
you know, get in your separate corners to go into
our fight league kind of analogy. But you don't have
(13:58):
to interact, but you see it and you have to,
you know, just eat it.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
That's how it works. That's not how it works. You
can follow, and then you can block, and then you
can do the like I'll check your story from online
and it will be a bunch of bots. Like there's
there's It gets deeper, man.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
The whole so deep.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
So are we saying here that Perk and Lebron are done?
Are they like officially done?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Cooked? It's good, it's over, it's over with.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
They didn't want any confrontation or anything. This was basically saying.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
There's no messy breakup.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Just that that is the messy breakup.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah, but there's no words. It's all that's. That's as
messy as it gets.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
They kind of just if they have to follow each other,
they kind of have to fight it out.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
So that's what seems lazy and soft as opposed to
duking it out. I'm just gonna unfollow you.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
No, No, that's a good point. That that is a
big thing. I mean, I don't know Perk comes back
from this, you're right, or does he? Well? I guess
Perk has to dressed this on the show, right, Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Absolutely? If this is this isn't talk like if Hurley
doesn't sign a contract or Reddick doesn't sign a contract.
You got Game two and you got this, and then
if you do it like they did in game one,
you get a minute twenty of content and a lot
of commercials at halftime.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Okay, and let me ask this because because you guys,
the whole thing behind this is that Lebron, I guess
has makes things about himself in some weird way by
him unfollowing. Does he do exactly what was Kentrick's whole point?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
No, that's one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
So was he wrong in the first place? Just throwing
it out there, soft, Lebron, don't unfollow me.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I can't say I've ever been followed by Lebron.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Neither have I. That's just poking fun.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
No, I'm just saying, and if he were to unfollow me,
guess what I'd run the hell out of that. I
might get a billboard right out here when they get
rid of that clipped one and it rotates over. We'll
get into that a little bit later on too. Shay, Mary,

(18:58):
ten years in the league. Ready for Game two of
these NBA Finals. You have not watched Clipped yet.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I haven't. I'm saving it you know, I gotta wait,
I need like the inside. Yeah, TAM's doing the Harry
Potter that's a thing. Yeah, every we're spoiled in today's media.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Right right, Yeah, Because we had the Jalen Brown quote
a little bit earlier talking about how he used his
ten days off and it was, yeah, I watched Harry Potter.
I don't have a family and kids whatever to chase around,
so yeah, this is what I did. And I just
kind of chuckled him, like, all right, that's not a
bad way to go. I think I'd sleep a lot.
The TV would be on in the background, There'd undoubtedly
be some Law and Orders, maybe a Harry Potter movie
(19:39):
mixed therein. I don't know, but yeah, it'd be a
lot of slacking for me. There's no question about I've
watched the first two episodes. I gotta say Furious Styles
has been fantastic, the man known as Lawrence Fishburn getting
it done as Doc Rivers and if any of those
practices were really like that with Doc, I want more
film of that. Give me some more of that.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
How do you How do you feel about me the
role that I play in it? Am? I am? I
pretty cool? A Wizard's big time right there.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
No, that's just it. I mean, did you did you
think you'd have someone playing you in in movies and television?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
No? If there's stage I listen, I'm a skinny kid
from Pasadena, man, and I don't care how it goes down,
how it shakes up. There's somebody playing me in a film.
And this is this is even bigger than the what
what's what's the stolen gems? What's the other movie?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Well, uncut gems.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
That I was that was actually me. But this, like
somebody playing me. That's cool. And then it's gonna have to.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Come meet with you and hang out with you a
little bit to get a load of Ryan Hollins twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
I do have a bone to pick because the picture
that they have of Fay playing me one, he's got
an earrings, Mike, take those earrings out. You know, I
don't even have my ears. Piers it too. He's wearing
a red shirt under it. I'm always a tank top guy.
I practice. Come on, guys, come on.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
The devil is in the details, Ryan Hollins, you know this.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, ear rings.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
They decided you needed some flare and what is this
office space.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Well, Mike is an earring guy. I'm not an earring guy.
So me and Mike both came into UCLA at the
same time as freshman. So I'm pretty privileged that my boy,
my boy's playing me. Okay, but the earrings. Come on, Mike,
you know I don't have earrings. You got earrings. I'm
not an earring guy.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
That's that's a bad job by the production squad though.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
But it's Mike's big debut. I don't know, and.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Mike, Mike's gotta do you as solid though.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
He could take the earrings out and he could put
on the tank top, you know that. I mean, man,
I guess they kind of can't go back and do
it now. But I mean it's just right now.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Well, I mean, look, man, through the power of mad
editing and wizardry, we could do it for our own purposes.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Well, I guess it's like it's epically bad with the guest.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Yeah, people have been pretty upset with some of the
representations for Stephen Clay go into some of the principles
Blake Griffin and beyond. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
But but but it's like the what are the the
freak frights? Like no one can stop watching it like
everybody's watching.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
No, it was. I think it's well done. I mean
Ed O'Neill and Lawrence Fishbird are just absolutely amazing as
you would expect them to be. No, no, no, but I
mean they stand out right. I mean, but you also
know who they are.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
I would have just played me if they needed it.
I could have played me.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
They could, Yeah, I would have been around.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Now. Now, I do want to address what you said.
I mean, listen, Doc never spoke to us that practice
like that. That is absolutely no.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Just see there you go. That's the one thy glass
because I watched that clip and it's called viral. You
can find it wherever you look it up. Just s
you know, Doc Rivers clipped and it's him shouting basically
playing dozens with the players and it's like, oh you
want to you want to pipe up now? And they
keep trying to go Reddick into dropping N bombs like
(23:21):
what the hell?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Hold on? Hold on, hold on.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Yeah, there's multiple yes.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Saying no he does.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
No, no, No, he doesn't say it like that. He
won't do it. You can't get him to do it.
But that's part of the no part of what they
do with his character. No, one asked, come on, you
know you say that.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Stop it. I did not nobody.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
This is two episodes in. I've already got like fifteen questions.
So as soon as you catch up, we're gonna do
a whole three hour Sunday show going through all of
this stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Now, I'll just that we never asked to say the
in word. Dude.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, folks asking if he ever did, come on, you
know you do, just say it, man, And then they
do a thing on the bus where they, you know,
my name is kind of thing and then he says,
but I won't say blank, and everybody starts laughing or
whatever because he doesn't, you know, complete the rhyme. Spoiler alert.
It's been out a few days. It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Watch it. You're broiny.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Oh no, no, no, look you're on the inside. You're
gonna laugh your eyes. This is one of those things.
I want to watch it with you, like it's Mystery
Science Theater three thousand. I'll get somebody to play Tom
Servo over here, the robot, and we'll go from there.
Shay'll step in, Mary, He'll step in. I want to like,
(24:47):
sign me up. I'm in for this.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Oh gosh, here we.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Are watching clip beginning to end with Ryan Hollins. We'll
put it on a Patreon and by the end of
it we'll be able to buy a sandwich. What do
you think?
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Oh gosh, and I'm mad, Okay, we'll save you this
much like do I talk or am I just like
in the background.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Well, I think it's one of those. I think everybody
gets a line here and there. I don't think there's
you get more from CP three and Blake DeAndre so
the three you know.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Fun questions? Yeah, seriously, not serious question. Should I be
getting paid for this? Like?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
That's a good question. Dramatic re enactment of the life
and times of Ryan Hollins. I don't know how that works.
You should call your agent. I be like, hey, is
this fair use of my uh A person?
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Yeah? Have they said my name? Or is this just
like a likeness thing?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
That's a good question. No, no, but there might have
been in a practice where just shouting names like I
don't look, man, I didn't sit there like with that
fall point pen taking notes at every turn. Come on,
now that's what I expect it.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Then?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
No, no, that's the second watch. First one is pure
visceral entertainment value. Cringe factor you name it, because I
remember being on air here as all that started going down.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Do we go and buy like the you know, like
the DVDs, like you know, you buy the DVD set? Yeah,
do we go buy it clipped.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I'm sure they'll they'll make a special one because they'll
try to nominate it for some Emmy's or something.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
We'll get it.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
We gotta let it run its course here and get
all those episodes out first.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah, yeah, and then I asked for money, then ask
for money afterwards. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
See what the ratings are? You see if people stick
with it?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
No, you gotta stick with it at this point.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
But yeah, I mean episode one was the white Party,
that tells you where we start things. Seeing that probably
got people all up in their fields. Me just saying
those words.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Yeah you know, you know, I mean.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Because if they don't remember what that was, like, what
the hell's he talking about?
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Listen? Listen? I am again. It's it's like wine. You
don't you don't just you know, drink all the wine? Right?
Like you wait? Right that that That's what I'm saying,
Like you wait, don't.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
I don't know that I could do this in an
eight episode marathon, though. I think sensory overload for me.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I mean, apparently you don't sleep at night. You're sending
a show ideas at one am.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
I got problems. What can I say?
Speaker 4 (27:33):
So we'll just binge it.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
We'll demons in my head.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Man, I won't even be scheduled. I'll just come in
the whole show and we'll just have clipped on in
the background.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
No, I think that's what we're gonna need to do.
We'll get you on a plane here and uh either
that will zoom it and we'll just watch it, watch
it together and America can watch.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
I wanted to get this clip from Jason Taina ban.
I've been teasing it a bit. I thought it gave
some pretty good perspective of where his head is as
related to the expectations on him, Jalen Brown, and where
the Celtics are to.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
Be honest, I was nervous.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
I ain't gonna love I was.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
I was nervous in like a anxious way right as
like a little kid. It was just it's surreal being
in the finals. And you know, when you're young, I
guess in your career you think you're always want to
go back and last year was kind of like a
wake up call when we didn't make it. So, you know,
(28:30):
getting back to this point and being here, it's really
a big deal.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
What do you think, Ryan Hollins, he is a guy.
I mean, coming out of last year when they didn't
make that run back, people calling for the breakup, some
folks even trying to get Missoula bounced out of there,
the breakup of Brown Tatum and they can't stay together,
all of those things. It seems like Jayson Tatam's got
a pretty good idea of the weight that's out there
(28:59):
in the media world and fandom for him.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Hey, I look as far as Tatum is concerned, I
love this mindset. They made some huge moves. Man. They
moved on from spart Uh Grant Williams. I thought that
that those were kind of like their toughness guys.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Grant Williams formerly part of both these teams.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I know that's things that's terrible.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
He becomes an anecdote.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Grant made a lot of money, so yeah, he definitely
got paid. He was appreciated, and that's that's kind of
part of the game.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
All we're looking for it, right, we all want to
be appreciated and loved.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
But at the end of the day, when when you're
looking at Jason Tatum, you're sitting back and you're saying, hey, uh,
he shouldn't be taking this for granted, and he's not.
And they have a chance to do something really special,
uh in Boston, and you can argue that this is
(29:59):
the team that he's had, you know, by far there
and they got again, they have a chance to win.
So I think for him, this is a really cool opportunity.
Uh in Boston's mindset is you know, and from what
I see, don't mess it up, you know, don't go
out and mess it up because you do have this
(30:21):
wonderful opportunity each the best team. I look how deep
they are, and you know, I don't think the series
is over, but you do have to be a little
nervous going, man, we you know, we got to find
a way to figure this thing out. You know, we
got to win. This is a this is gold. These
opportunities don't grow on trees. And I think the scrutiny
of Tatum is unfair. And I say unfair in the
(30:44):
sense that he understands how good his team is because
they are that good. He doesn't have to do as much. No,
and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
No, and that and that's the thing, right, because of
the game that they had in the game poor Zingis had.
It took some of the heat away from what his
Game one performance was because it was uneven. Final stat
line looked okay, and certainly the plus minus was immense,
but you know, he missed some shots early and when
(31:16):
you were getting the comeback bid from the Mavericks, a
little bit, you know, wondering if it was you know,
some of that rearing its head again of those games
where the play with your food analogy or line has
been used a lot for the Celtics, and Tatum's seen
as the leader. So yeah, it gets into that difficult
spot the Mavericks. I have rewarded Nico Harrison with an
(31:39):
extension as well. You know, when you're talking about the
architecture on that other side, he is Ryan Hollins, I'm
Bike Carmen. Coming up next, we take a turn out
to Vegas, get an update of odds and what are
we looking at for finals? MVP odds for Chris stops
after last night, what's the liability all of that and
more with our guy Todd Furman as we continue, Ryan

Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Welcome back in Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith Show with
Me Mike Harmon. Ryan Hollind's in for Jason Smith to night.
Ten years in the league, working with the Houston Rockets,
an up and coming squad. They're gonna make life difficult
for Danny Hurley and company next year, as is the
rest of the Western Conference, though, Ryan Hollins, no easy
(32:36):
buckets or wins running through the conference next year for sure.
At the Ryan Hollins where you find him in the
twitter verse. Also, the history of the Opinionated seven Footers
podcast is out there for you as well. And sometimes
maybe he's up playing a video game and you might
be battling him and not even knowing too deep did
(33:00):
I go too deep into the ceedon? I mean I
didn't give out any game or handles so people can
come and stalk and try to take you out, or anything.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
That happened one time on a show or something to
forget where it was so and put my handle up
or a clip. Oh my gosh, my notifications start going crazy.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Dude, Well, it just means people care. They do care,
and that's all that really matters. They do care, all right,
because he cares a lot. We're going to push the
uh Jason Tatum. We'll do that in ten minutes because
we need to give it. It's it's full. Just do
a game that many called subpar still plus nineteen on
(33:40):
the night in game one as the Celtics have a
resounding win. But I liked his perspective of what he
talked about in the post game. But Shay brought something
to our attention a little bit earlier, you know, earlier
we had the news Mike Tyson his fight has been
rescheduled into November. So yes, it's going to happen. And
for all of those that thought it should be called off,
(34:04):
don't watch other people's wallets, because that's really what you
were trying to do there, because, as Kevin Durant reminded
us a long time ago, Ryan Hollins, if you don't
like it, don't watch. It's a nice rule to live by.
But Shay found us an interesting fighting circumstance unrelated well
(34:25):
kind of to what we're looking at from the Paul
and Tyson fight. And it really was curious as he
added video clip after video clip, So Shay take it away.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
So, as you guys know, the m m A has
been kind of taking storm of the sports world with
the UFC and then bare knuckle fighting leagues, Flap Fighting League.
It's all getting a lot of action. People are loving it,
people are betting on it. So there's this new league
called the World Freak Fight League. And there's something that
was special about this fight fight league that it's a
(34:59):
little different than most, So, I.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Mean the name didn't give that away.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
So basically in last night's card, they had a couple.
The couple fight a no time limit about a three
round fight where the first round was MMA, the second
was kickboxing, and then the third was just straight box.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Out okay, showing a variety of skills and acumen in
the pugilistic art.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
And then this is where it gets a little crazier.
They had two little people going at it okay, and
then they also had an Edge Cheron look alike versus
a Stormzy look alike going at it. Stormzy is a
artist and at Sharon is an artist. If you didn't
know who, Stormsy's a rapper, He's a UK based rapper, okay.
And then we have a Eddie Hall versus two skinny
(35:46):
smaller brothers.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
So a guy that looked like for lack of a
better charm, Andre the Giant fighting a couple of normies.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Exactly exactly, and the video of Eddie Hall has been
circling around non x. If you guys want to see
that yourself, I'll also retweet it on my Twitter and
I'll have MICI give me fsrsha if you guys want
to check it out. But it's it's something that's so
new and it's something that we really don't see, but
it's entertaining, which is the biggest thing. So I did
send it to you guys, and I just want to
(36:16):
see what you guys thought about it.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Ryan, you want first swipe at this or you want
me to go.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
I couldn't stop looking, No, but that's just it, right,
every clip right, you watched the clips a couple of times,
and it comes back to, you know, getting back to identification,
getting back to uh trying to figure out how to
capitalize if you have a particular set of skills to
steal from Liam neesum uh and an audience in a
(36:42):
look at me influencer kind of culture right between reality TV.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
If here you want to get into the what is
it the Freak League, World Freak Fight League, you know,
and you identify with one of the categories that they're
looking to employ, and you want to cash a paycheck.
Who am I to judge? You're still watching it again?
Speaker 4 (37:08):
I'm all in with Hey, my thing is okay, Mike,
who do you fight? If we pair you in the frequently?
Speaker 5 (37:16):
That's his co host right there.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
You know, people have been trying to get Smith and
I to throw throw up elbows for a while, and
right now he tells you he's the best shape of
his life and tries to show you his triceps. My
man ain't done a pull down in years. He's all in.

(01:11):
a lot of previewing of Game two of the NBA Finals.
We've got some more storylines coming out of Game one
and reaction. We'll get to Jason Tatum in a moment.
But you sent me something that was starting to circulate
in the Twitter verse here, Ryan related to one Lebron
James and something he did in the social media sphere,
(01:32):
which has really become a big deal the last couple
of years. When a player is dissatisfied with the team
he's with, starts to scrub some of the pictures, starts
to scrub some of the links, maybe takes a logo
off of their page. Maybe now it's them in a
biker outfit instead of in a uniform. I don't know,
(01:52):
whatever the case may be. You like that now you
got that image, didn't you?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Who's in a biker outfit?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I don't know. I just just had you know. I
had to dodge a couple of motorcyclists today traffic. Traffic
was moving pretty well on the four or five, two
days in a row. I don't know what this this
desk is made out of here, but I'm knocking, hoping
that it's the beginning of a nice easy summer on
(02:20):
the freeways. Yesterday, I kid you, not right. The expectation
was Smith was going to be working from home, like
we'd come in the first couple of days of the week.
He had some stuff running around, final days of school
with his daughter and all, and he is like, I'm
gonna probably work from home. And then he calls me
and he's on the way in to the office and
(02:40):
now it's like five forty five, and now I live
pretty far south of lax And on a good night,
and I call it a good night. It's usually about
an hour and fifteen minute drive for me coming in
on the freeway to get into the studio to come
hang out with Mary, Shay and Steve and the team
in the back right with Brie and Crandle getting it on,
(03:01):
and it takes forever. Right, that's a good day. Some
days it pushes towards two hours. And I pulled up
the map as he's telling me he's driving, and he goes, well,
you know game one. I'm like, I tried to argue
that with you yesterday, said you're staying home, Like all right,
So I pull up the map and it says, all right,
you can get there in forty minutes. I got here
in thirty eight minutes flat, absolutely absurd, record breaking time.
(03:23):
That wasn't on a Sunday morning at four am coming
in to do radio with you, but today double down,
same thing. But then because in California, the knucklehead motorcyclists
and I love you the person, not you as a motorcyclist. Uh,
they're doing eighty and weaving between lanes because legally you
(03:44):
can weave between lanes. Now eighty's obviously above speed limit,
but you think you've got to clear it all of
a sudden whoa, whoa, whoa. So you know you head
on a swivel when you know the traffic gods giveth
potentially given take it away with guys on their biker gear.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yeah, my dad used to do that. We always feared
he dropped his bike. Finally that didn't, that wasn't what
did him in, But we always told him, man, dude,
we're not cool with you'd ride that bike.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I saw a guy get flipped about three months ago, right,
he weaved, he got back in and then the guy
stopped short and well I saw a guy flying without
his bike.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of it.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
No, but there you go. That's why the biker came up.
So you got that. Lebron James has now unfollowed Ben
Simmons and Kendrick Perkins. He decided he'd have had enough
hot take nonsense from his former draft class mate right
two thousand and three, two thousand and four, when Perk
(04:53):
came into the league with the Celtics. I remember it
because I have the two thousand and three, two thousand
and four Kendrick Perkins top Scrum rookie cards sitting there.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yeah, you are big on cards. But listen, we talked
about this earlier in the show. Perk is my guy.
I thought this was unnecessary, and Lebron is doing a podcast.
I think it is appropriate due to the relationship that
he has with Kyrie, the statements that he made and
(05:28):
perchislated to him. Man, I listen, I didn't think the
shoe fit right now. Now, there's some moments. Can we
say Lebron kind of made things about him in certain times? Yeah,
it's fair enough. You know, he'd probably tell you that, Hey,
I know what I was doing.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
You know, it's all calculated. None of it has happened. Stance,
Hebron doesn't stumble into things that doesn't happen.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
But I don't think in this statement, I think Perk
was wrong. I don't. I think Lebron was just doing
his podcast with Jaja. Now there's is there more behind it?
If not, I don't, I don't know. I don't know,
But I do think that Burke was wrong here and
ruffles ruffled feathers. As soon as I saw it, I
was surprised. I was like, Wow, Burke is he's going
(06:13):
in on bro Man. That that one's that one surprised me.
And then the unfollowing, I mean, it's weird. I just
hate our society right now. Man, You unfollow, you follow someone,
everybody's watching and paying attention. It's it's it's a thing now.
I mean, I guess I follow you no, But that.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
That's the difficult thing though. Ryan. We were actually just
talking about it with you know, Shay, Shaye and Mary
and I, you know, trying to figure we got a
story at forty five, Like Shae was sending us some
some tweets you and I earlier as we're prepping for
the show of a Fighting League that's come up, and
we got to go through the card and watch ability
(06:52):
and whether we start giving it some some airtime overall
because it's it is, it's interesting, but also just in
terms of addressing people and day to day not knowing
where the line is where you're going to offend people.
I assume in four hours of doing radio, if I
had to do the I'm sorry thing right to take
from a long running show here in LA You've got
(07:15):
Heidi and Frank on Friday mornings. By the end of
the show, they've assembled a list of anybody they may
have offended in any of the jokes and stories that
they talked about that day. Every now and again, I
feel like I should do that sitting here with Smith,
because you might have taken this the wrong way. Ah,
you might have taken that one line and not heard
the full context. How all of those things?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
How do you think Lebron can take this? Take from Perk?
You know what Perk saying? How else can Lebron kind
of you know, like relay that message or accept it?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
No, that's just it, right, It's hard, right, It's the personal,
you know, reaching out whatever and trying to come to
to some sort of agree to disagree or you see
my side, I see yours, whatever, or you do this
act and in when you when you take this move, it,
you know, shows that that there's a break that has
(08:11):
to go to you know, with with Perk you know
some of it, and with Lebron and the Reddick podcast.
Up until Danny Hurley's name comes out, uh yesterday, was
presumed he was going to be the guy, and in
the background was well, the podcast seemed to be a
month long audition. Ha ha, Right, and that's kind of
where it it. That was the you know, chuckle, snort,
(08:35):
point watch laugh whatever they deride it all. I thought
it was going to be fascinating, like and look, it's
not done. Danny Hurley to my knowledge as of this moment,
hasn't signed a deal. Still might just be leveraging Yukon
for all he can get. I don't know what what's truth,
what's fiction, and what JJ Reddick would be if he
were the coach, uh, and what that assembly of assistance
(08:58):
would be. But yeah, yeah, certainly in the hot take
nonsense business that we get into in this space sometimes Ryan,
you know, guys go for the punchline and hope it's
just gonna gloss over. Problem is when you're going with
a guy of Lebron's scope, someone's gonna hear it in
his circle and it's gonna get back and you don't
(09:21):
know how that's gonna hit, or maybe you do.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Yeah, listen, look man, because Perk is going to bat
for Bron, you know, several times. Yeah, yeah, so I
will say, look like I said, this one surprised me.
I didn't see it coming. And you know, it is
tough in our shoes. We have to give takes, we
(09:45):
have to speak about things, and you know, maybe Perk
was trying. It almost felt like maybe Perk was trying
to say, hey, I'm gonna be fair in this, or
hey I'm gonna go as hard on Lebron as I
go on everybody else. That's I almost felt like he
was proving that point. I don't think if that well,
I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I think you're one hundred percent right, just saying, look,
if this was any other player and any other circumstance
like this, where maybe and again, do you buy the
idea that Lebron is telling them no, no, no, don't
worry about me with the coaching search, because I don't
buy that for a second. Like I've had so many
insiders throw that up as the line of no, no, no,
(10:27):
He's saying you've got to do this, gotta do that,
like he's got no say I don't buy that. And
if nothing else, Clutch certainly has some say with the
number of players that are there on that roster. But
to that point, yeah, I think Perk to some degree
was trying to at least put himself in the position of, hey,
(10:47):
I got to be fair to this that if this
was any other player, I'd be killing him or everybody
else would be killing him. And unfortunately it feels I
you know, try to and put yourself in Lebron's shoes
for a minute, just feels like piling on because you
know you're gonna get the usual suspects that are gonna
have their strong takes against him. And you know who
(11:09):
they are. If you listen to sports talk radio and
watch sports television as you do, you're hanging out with
us on a Friday night into Saturday morning. Yeah, you
know who those guys are. You know the others that
are going to be sick of fans the other way
that Lebron can do no wrong and carry the water
for him at every turn. Obviously, the truth somewhere in between,
and then you get Perk. You know, a long time
(11:30):
relationship going back a couple of decades. Tried to be
in the middle and play it fair, and it comes
off stronger because he's never been on that side or
hasn't been on that side that regularly. And like Michael
Jordan used to look at that iPad, I took that personally, Yeah,
well now you're unfollowed.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I mean he went like, this wasn't doing fair like
he just went hard. He went hard. But again, yet
know Perk goes hard at a lot of people. They
in all fairness, he definitely has. But listen, we thought
Lebron and for the most part with Perk keep being
off limits. Apparently not.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
But you know, Ryan, like, what's the biggest criticism? It
is like, all right, keep that energy right? How often
do you hear that in our business?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
The unfollow was big, Mike, do you feel like the
do you hate the unfollower? You are you like all
in with the unfold?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
It seems like a childlike thing, but it's a real thing.
But it's a real thing. In the last couple of years,
it's been a real thing.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
If I looked up today and you unfollowed me or tomorrow,
I'd be furious, and then it's like it'd be weird,
like we'd see each other in studio or something and
like hey Mike, Hey, hey, right, you know, like.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Like energy, Yeah, one of those kind of things. So
what do you got change?
Speaker 5 (12:52):
So yeah, I'm obviously I'm a little younger. I'm twenty four.
Like the unfollowed thing has always been around for us.
Social media has always been a thing with me. The
only time I could see the unfollowed being like an
all right thing is with exes. It's that's generally the
only time I can see.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
But even that, folks generally still follow each other because
you still want to check up on what everybody's doing,
or maybe you still have friends or whatever in common.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I don't, And I don't like the thing with the
excesses too, because you do it and it's like, oh,
she's available, now she's not even if they're not even
and then it's like, look, we're not even following each other.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
But that's the point, Like that's that's the whole point
of unfollowing people. It's like, Okay, we're not cool anymore,
or you upset me or whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
But that's the thing. Though, then you hear about it
because you still got friends in common, if you've been
together front of length of time or going to school
together or whatever. So you're gonna hear the stuff. So
is it better to see it online yourself and not unfollow,
you know, get in your separate corners to go into
our fight league kind of analogy. But you don't have
(13:58):
to interact, but you see it and you have to,
you know, just eat it.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
That's how it works. That's not how it works. You
can follow, and then you can block, and then you
can do the like I'll check your story from online
and it will be a bunch of bots. Like there's
there's It gets deeper, man.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
The whole so deep.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
So are we saying here that Perk and Lebron are done?
Are they like officially done?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Cooked? It's good, it's over, it's over with.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
They didn't want any confrontation or anything. This was basically saying.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
There's no messy breakup.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Just that that is the messy breakup.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah, but there's no words. It's all that's. That's as
messy as it gets.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
They kind of just if they have to follow each other,
they kind of have to fight it out.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
So that's what seems lazy and soft as opposed to
duking it out. I'm just gonna unfollow you.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
No, No, that's a good point. That that is a
big thing. I mean, I don't know Perk comes back
from this, you're right, or does he? Well? I guess
Perk has to dressed this on the show, right, Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Absolutely? If this is this isn't talk like if Hurley
doesn't sign a contract or Reddick doesn't sign a contract.
You got Game two and you got this, and then
if you do it like they did in game one,
you get a minute twenty of content and a lot
of commercials at halftime.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Okay, and let me ask this because because you guys,
the whole thing behind this is that Lebron, I guess
has makes things about himself in some weird way by
him unfollowing. Does he do exactly what was Kentrick's whole point?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
No, that's one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
So was he wrong in the first place? Just throwing
it out there, soft, Lebron, don't unfollow me.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I can't say I've ever been followed by Lebron.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Neither have I. That's just poking fun.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
No, I'm just saying, and if he were to unfollow me,
guess what I'd run the hell out of that. I
might get a billboard right out here when they get
rid of that clipped one and it rotates over. We'll
get into that a little bit later on too. Shay, Mary,

(18:58):
ten years in the league. Ready for Game two of
these NBA Finals. You have not watched Clipped yet.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I haven't. I'm saving it you know, I gotta wait,
I need like the inside. Yeah, TAM's doing the Harry
Potter that's a thing. Yeah, every we're spoiled in today's media.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Right right, Yeah, Because we had the Jalen Brown quote
a little bit earlier talking about how he used his
ten days off and it was, yeah, I watched Harry Potter.
I don't have a family and kids whatever to chase around,
so yeah, this is what I did. And I just
kind of chuckled him, like, all right, that's not a
bad way to go. I think I'd sleep a lot.
The TV would be on in the background, There'd undoubtedly
be some Law and Orders, maybe a Harry Potter movie
(19:39):
mixed therein. I don't know, but yeah, it'd be a
lot of slacking for me. There's no question about I've
watched the first two episodes. I gotta say Furious Styles
has been fantastic, the man known as Lawrence Fishburn getting
it done as Doc Rivers and if any of those
practices were really like that with Doc, I want more
film of that. Give me some more of that.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
How do you How do you feel about me the
role that I play in it? Am? I am? I
pretty cool? A Wizard's big time right there.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
No, that's just it. I mean, did you did you
think you'd have someone playing you in in movies and television?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
No? If there's stage I listen, I'm a skinny kid
from Pasadena, man, and I don't care how it goes down,
how it shakes up. There's somebody playing me in a film.
And this is this is even bigger than the what
what's what's the stolen gems? What's the other movie?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Well, uncut gems.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
That I was that was actually me. But this, like
somebody playing me. That's cool. And then it's gonna have to.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Come meet with you and hang out with you a
little bit to get a load of Ryan Hollins twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
I do have a bone to pick because the picture
that they have of Fay playing me one, he's got
an earrings, Mike, take those earrings out. You know, I
don't even have my ears. Piers it too. He's wearing
a red shirt under it. I'm always a tank top guy.
I practice. Come on, guys, come on.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
The devil is in the details, Ryan Hollins, you know this.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, ear rings.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
They decided you needed some flare and what is this
office space.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Well, Mike is an earring guy. I'm not an earring guy.
So me and Mike both came into UCLA at the
same time as freshman. So I'm pretty privileged that my boy,
my boy's playing me. Okay, but the earrings. Come on, Mike,
you know I don't have earrings. You got earrings. I'm
not an earring guy.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
That's that's a bad job by the production squad though.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
But it's Mike's big debut. I don't know, and.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Mike, Mike's gotta do you as solid though.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
He could take the earrings out and he could put
on the tank top, you know that. I mean, man,
I guess they kind of can't go back and do
it now. But I mean it's just right now.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Well, I mean, look, man, through the power of mad
editing and wizardry, we could do it for our own purposes.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Well, I guess it's like it's epically bad with the guest.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Yeah, people have been pretty upset with some of the
representations for Stephen Clay go into some of the principles
Blake Griffin and beyond. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
But but but it's like the what are the the
freak frights? Like no one can stop watching it like
everybody's watching.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
No, it was. I think it's well done. I mean
Ed O'Neill and Lawrence Fishbird are just absolutely amazing as
you would expect them to be. No, no, no, but I
mean they stand out right. I mean, but you also
know who they are.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
I would have just played me if they needed it.
I could have played me.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
They could, Yeah, I would have been around.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Now. Now, I do want to address what you said.
I mean, listen, Doc never spoke to us that practice
like that. That is absolutely no.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Just see there you go. That's the one thy glass
because I watched that clip and it's called viral. You
can find it wherever you look it up. Just s
you know, Doc Rivers clipped and it's him shouting basically
playing dozens with the players and it's like, oh you
want to you want to pipe up now? And they
keep trying to go Reddick into dropping N bombs like
(23:21):
what the hell?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Hold on? Hold on, hold on.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Yeah, there's multiple yes.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Saying no he does.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
No, no, No, he doesn't say it like that. He
won't do it. You can't get him to do it.
But that's part of the no part of what they
do with his character. No, one asked, come on, you
know you say that.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Stop it. I did not nobody.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
This is two episodes in. I've already got like fifteen questions.
So as soon as you catch up, we're gonna do
a whole three hour Sunday show going through all of
this stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Now, I'll just that we never asked to say the
in word. Dude.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, folks asking if he ever did, come on, you
know you do, just say it, man, And then they
do a thing on the bus where they, you know,
my name is kind of thing and then he says,
but I won't say blank, and everybody starts laughing or
whatever because he doesn't, you know, complete the rhyme. Spoiler alert.
It's been out a few days. It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Watch it. You're broiny.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Oh no, no, no, look you're on the inside. You're
gonna laugh your eyes. This is one of those things.
I want to watch it with you, like it's Mystery
Science Theater three thousand. I'll get somebody to play Tom
Servo over here, the robot, and we'll go from there.
Shay'll step in, Mary, He'll step in. I want to like,
(24:47):
sign me up. I'm in for this.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Oh gosh, here we.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Are watching clip beginning to end with Ryan Hollins. We'll
put it on a Patreon and by the end of
it we'll be able to buy a sandwich. What do
you think?
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Oh gosh, and I'm mad, Okay, we'll save you this
much like do I talk or am I just like
in the background.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Well, I think it's one of those. I think everybody
gets a line here and there. I don't think there's
you get more from CP three and Blake DeAndre so
the three you know.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Fun questions? Yeah, seriously, not serious question. Should I be
getting paid for this? Like?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
That's a good question. Dramatic re enactment of the life
and times of Ryan Hollins. I don't know how that works.
You should call your agent. I be like, hey, is
this fair use of my uh A person?
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Yeah? Have they said my name? Or is this just
like a likeness thing?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
That's a good question. No, no, but there might have
been in a practice where just shouting names like I
don't look, man, I didn't sit there like with that
fall point pen taking notes at every turn. Come on,
now that's what I expect it.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Then?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
No, no, that's the second watch. First one is pure
visceral entertainment value. Cringe factor you name it, because I
remember being on air here as all that started going down.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Do we go and buy like the you know, like
the DVDs, like you know, you buy the DVD set? Yeah,
do we go buy it clipped.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I'm sure they'll they'll make a special one because they'll
try to nominate it for some Emmy's or something.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
We'll get it.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
We gotta let it run its course here and get
all those episodes out first.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah, yeah, and then I asked for money, then ask
for money afterwards. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
See what the ratings are? You see if people stick
with it?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
No, you gotta stick with it at this point.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
But yeah, I mean episode one was the white Party,
that tells you where we start things. Seeing that probably
got people all up in their fields. Me just saying
those words.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Yeah you know, you know, I mean.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Because if they don't remember what that was, like, what
the hell's he talking about?
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Listen? Listen? I am again. It's it's like wine. You
don't you don't just you know, drink all the wine? Right?
Like you wait? Right that that That's what I'm saying,
Like you wait, don't.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
I don't know that I could do this in an
eight episode marathon, though. I think sensory overload for me.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I mean, apparently you don't sleep at night. You're sending
a show ideas at one am.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
I got problems. What can I say?
Speaker 4 (27:33):
So we'll just binge it.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
We'll demons in my head.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Man, I won't even be scheduled. I'll just come in
the whole show and we'll just have clipped on in
the background.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
No, I think that's what we're gonna need to do.
We'll get you on a plane here and uh either
that will zoom it and we'll just watch it, watch
it together and America can watch.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
I wanted to get this clip from Jason Taina ban.
I've been teasing it a bit. I thought it gave
some pretty good perspective of where his head is as
related to the expectations on him, Jalen Brown, and where
the Celtics are to.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
Be honest, I was nervous.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
I ain't gonna love I was.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
I was nervous in like a anxious way right as
like a little kid. It was just it's surreal being
in the finals. And you know, when you're young, I
guess in your career you think you're always want to
go back and last year was kind of like a
wake up call when we didn't make it. So, you know,
(28:30):
getting back to this point and being here, it's really
a big deal.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
What do you think, Ryan Hollins, he is a guy.
I mean, coming out of last year when they didn't
make that run back, people calling for the breakup, some
folks even trying to get Missoula bounced out of there,
the breakup of Brown Tatum and they can't stay together,
all of those things. It seems like Jayson Tatam's got
a pretty good idea of the weight that's out there
(28:59):
in the media world and fandom for him.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Hey, I look as far as Tatum is concerned, I
love this mindset. They made some huge moves. Man. They
moved on from spart Uh Grant Williams. I thought that
that those were kind of like their toughness guys.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Grant Williams formerly part of both these teams.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I know that's things that's terrible.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
He becomes an anecdote.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Grant made a lot of money, so yeah, he definitely
got paid. He was appreciated, and that's that's kind of
part of the game.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
All we're looking for it, right, we all want to
be appreciated and loved.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
But at the end of the day, when when you're
looking at Jason Tatum, you're sitting back and you're saying, hey, uh,
he shouldn't be taking this for granted, and he's not.
And they have a chance to do something really special,
uh in Boston, and you can argue that this is
(29:59):
the team that he's had, you know, by far there
and they got again, they have a chance to win.
So I think for him, this is a really cool opportunity.
Uh in Boston's mindset is you know, and from what
I see, don't mess it up, you know, don't go
out and mess it up because you do have this
(30:21):
wonderful opportunity each the best team. I look how deep
they are, and you know, I don't think the series
is over, but you do have to be a little
nervous going, man, we you know, we got to find
a way to figure this thing out. You know, we
got to win. This is a this is gold. These
opportunities don't grow on trees. And I think the scrutiny
of Tatum is unfair. And I say unfair in the
(30:44):
sense that he understands how good his team is because
they are that good. He doesn't have to do as much. No,
and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
No, and that and that's the thing, right, because of
the game that they had in the game poor Zingis had.
It took some of the heat away from what his
Game one performance was because it was uneven. Final stat
line looked okay, and certainly the plus minus was immense,
but you know, he missed some shots early and when
(31:16):
you were getting the comeback bid from the Mavericks, a
little bit, you know, wondering if it was you know,
some of that rearing its head again of those games
where the play with your food analogy or line has
been used a lot for the Celtics, and Tatum's seen
as the leader. So yeah, it gets into that difficult
spot the Mavericks. I have rewarded Nico Harrison with an
(31:39):
extension as well. You know, when you're talking about the
architecture on that other side, he is Ryan Hollins, I'm
Bike Carmen. Coming up next, we take a turn out
to Vegas, get an update of odds and what are
we looking at for finals? MVP odds for Chris stops
after last night, what's the liability all of that and
more with our guy Todd Furman as we continue, Ryan

Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Welcome back in Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith Show with
Me Mike Harmon. Ryan Hollind's in for Jason Smith to night.
Ten years in the league, working with the Houston Rockets,
an up and coming squad. They're gonna make life difficult
for Danny Hurley and company next year, as is the
rest of the Western Conference, though, Ryan Hollins, no easy
(32:36):
buckets or wins running through the conference next year for sure.
At the Ryan Hollins where you find him in the
twitter verse. Also, the history of the Opinionated seven Footers
podcast is out there for you as well. And sometimes
maybe he's up playing a video game and you might
be battling him and not even knowing too deep did
(33:00):
I go too deep into the ceedon? I mean I
didn't give out any game or handles so people can
come and stalk and try to take you out, or anything.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
That happened one time on a show or something to
forget where it was so and put my handle up
or a clip. Oh my gosh, my notifications start going crazy.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Dude, Well, it just means people care. They do care,
and that's all that really matters. They do care, all right,
because he cares a lot. We're going to push the
uh Jason Tatum. We'll do that in ten minutes because
we need to give it. It's it's full. Just do
a game that many called subpar still plus nineteen on
(33:40):
the night in game one as the Celtics have a
resounding win. But I liked his perspective of what he
talked about in the post game. But Shay brought something
to our attention a little bit earlier, you know, earlier
we had the news Mike Tyson his fight has been
rescheduled into November. So yes, it's going to happen. And
for all of those that thought it should be called off,
(34:04):
don't watch other people's wallets, because that's really what you
were trying to do there, because, as Kevin Durant reminded
us a long time ago, Ryan Hollins, if you don't
like it, don't watch. It's a nice rule to live by.
But Shay found us an interesting fighting circumstance unrelated well
(34:25):
kind of to what we're looking at from the Paul
and Tyson fight. And it really was curious as he
added video clip after video clip, So Shay take it away.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
So, as you guys know, the m m A has
been kind of taking storm of the sports world with
the UFC and then bare knuckle fighting leagues, Flap Fighting League.
It's all getting a lot of action. People are loving it,
people are betting on it. So there's this new league
called the World Freak Fight League. And there's something that
was special about this fight fight league that it's a
(34:59):
little different than most, So, I.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Mean the name didn't give that away.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
So basically in last night's card, they had a couple.
The couple fight a no time limit about a three
round fight where the first round was MMA, the second
was kickboxing, and then the third was just straight box.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Out okay, showing a variety of skills and acumen in
the pugilistic art.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
And then this is where it gets a little crazier.
They had two little people going at it okay, and
then they also had an Edge Cheron look alike versus
a Stormzy look alike going at it. Stormzy is a
artist and at Sharon is an artist. If you didn't
know who, Stormsy's a rapper, He's a UK based rapper, okay.
And then we have a Eddie Hall versus two skinny
(35:46):
smaller brothers.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
So a guy that looked like for lack of a
better charm, Andre the Giant fighting a couple of normies.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Exactly exactly, and the video of Eddie Hall has been
circling around non x. If you guys want to see
that yourself, I'll also retweet it on my Twitter and
I'll have MICI give me fsrsha if you guys want
to check it out. But it's it's something that's so
new and it's something that we really don't see, but
it's entertaining, which is the biggest thing. So I did
send it to you guys, and I just want to
(36:16):
see what you guys thought about it.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Ryan, you want first swipe at this or you want
me to go.
