on the Christian McCaffrey story. Who is on the cover
(00:50):
of Madden twenty five. Psychologically, it's taking you down in
a bad, bad, bad space here and see the thing
is now people go, oh my god. Jason. All that said,
I'm not completely he's superstitious, but like, why would youious?
Like what if I have a big injury history and
I know there's a history of people on this thing
that that have gotten her. Why would I do that,
(01:11):
especially since it's not like, hey, they're gonna give you
twenty five million dollars like you just signed. You've been
making a lot of money. You just signed for a
lot of money. Like, I don't know, I think I
think that'd be something where like is it really that necessary?
Do I really want it?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
What week do you have him getting hurt? Let's do that?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I had a week three?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I mean I went back and watched or what if
he stopped? What if he's starts out, has a bad year,
like Josh Allens had a bad year last year. You
didn't think Josh Allen gonna have that a down year
last year. Josh Allen had a down year because that's
been the thing the last few years. If guys have
not had great years being on the cover. So you
have the injury history of Christian McCaffrey, and you have
guys haven't down years, Why would you do that? Like
(01:51):
he doesn't need it, Guys who would need it? I
would say, yeah, like hey, Garrett Wilson short, well, No,
I don't want any jet on the cover. Everybody looking
for some sort of good you did, But you did
you just walked right into your own trap. I want
to get my guys on it. No, wait a minute,
I walked him into the curves. Think of guys, who
needs breeze hall on there while you're at gwenton Johnson
should be on the cover of Matt twenty Fokay, I
(02:12):
would you know? I went got a side swipe in.
I'm just the man's are trying to recover from a
what wasn't off times catastrophic rookie season. Yeah, try and
recover from a catastrophic season in which he kept dropping
the football. I think back to this. By the way,
Josh Allen was still the number one quarterback by you know,
(02:32):
like forty points, right, but he still had to But overall,
it's not fantasy wise. Overall he had a down year. Yeah,
Christian mccafrey doesn't care about He doesn't fantasy. He wants
to win. But it was a down year for Josh
Allen throwing the football playoff wise, everything else was a
down year for him. It's a fantasy doesn't stay. That's
about us. That's about us. But I'm just saying, like performance,
it's paid wins loss versus individual statistical output. I mean,
(02:56):
Josh Allen still put forth a tremendous EPA. You know,
I keep thinking back to this episode of West Wing
where the President, where President Bartlett was, had a photo
op with a guy who had gotten his picture taken
with every president going back like sixty years. And he goes,
and the first president he took a picture with was
(03:18):
Herbert Hoover. And it turns out, oh, Bartlett meets me
to take a picture, and there was a big stock
market thing going on in the West Wing in this episode,
and he tells the guy how old were you when
you got your picture? He goes, I was nine years old.
It was on September twenty fifth, nineteen twenty nine. He says, really,
the next day the stock market crash. He goes, yeah,
(03:38):
that was a tough day. And so bartlet's just wait
a minute. And he talks to the Charlie who was
his body man. He goes, am I crazy for thinking
to blowing off this this photo op because you know,
there's a lot of stock market stuff going on, and
the guy president took a picture of this guy the
next day of the stock market type and Charlie played
by Deula Hill says I can't believe you're thinking about this,
(03:58):
or he goes, oh, you're right, I'm being silly. No,
I can't believe you're actually thinking about doing this. You
gotta take a picture with this guy. And tomorrow there
said yeah, and Barlow walked out, So we got to reschedule.
We got to reschedule. So I think about this with
Christian McCaffrey, I'm like, Okay, injury history, Yeah, it's great.
He used to play the game. That's awesome. I mean,
in the end, is he a guy that can look
back at his career and say, hey, it was great
(04:20):
being on the cover that year. I got heard right
and played very well with it. But it doesn't matter.
I was on the cover of Madden Medden. I mean,
but I don't know, man, I wouldn't want to bus
fate with that. I mean, you walk around saying the
what iff like, I went back for a second helping
of iron quantity. I don't think psychologically that was the
best thing for me to do.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Guys that are in the wrestling business and then it
seems like there's a curse coming after each of them.
With the Madden cover for a long time, that was
the thing. It's like, Wow, you really really bold, aren't you.
I don't know what it did you know for their
dating lives or their cache. I mean, the guy's a
badass in the locker room because he tempts fate. He
didn't care. Wouldn't do it? Man, wouldn't woul in temp fate?
(05:00):
Wouldn't temp fate? Scared not the not the only big
NFL story of the day because someone else tempting fate
excel Wait for it. Aaron Rodgers is not with the
Jets for any camp. It is an unexcused absence. And
even though he's with the team for record. Look, he
(05:22):
was with the team for all the ot as the
last three weeks. When he looks like he's about ninety,
I'm I'm I'm building up to the story. Build up
faster these listen. I saw a buster on his account yesterday.
Oh Tani's banned from baseball for life. You worry about that?
Go burn your Lindor jerseys. Oh no, no, I would.
(05:43):
I would be okay with Traddy lind Or to the A's.
He's driving him across country. Hey, mister smile, this is great.
You go. Smile is on the back of the bus.
Everybody talking's right, You're gonna love Sacramento. Man, it's gonna
be awesome for the next like two or three years
until you're thirty five. Now it'd be great. But Rogers,
(06:04):
who's been with the team OTAs and by all accounts
he looks really good. No look passes are making their
way onto social media. He says he's about ninety percent
right now. Still it's a long time to go. But
he's not with the team now for their mini camp
three day mini camp. There are four players, four stars
in the NFL who are not with their teams for
mini camp. The Jets have two of them.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Jets.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Jets, you're leading the offseason. Isn't that what you always want?
But this is the part where this story goes from
you know, I don't really care he misses. He's been
here all off season. It's been great. It's it's awesome. Yes,
I understand we need to build together this and do this, okay,
But this is the part where I go from blowing
the story off to just go. The Jets can't not
jet for five minutes. Here's head coach Robert Sala explaining
(06:49):
Aaron Rodgers unexcused absence from the Jets Mini camp. I
think I was from the other story. But dude, if
that happened to Aaron, right, they're all getting fired. So okay,
just so you understand, they're all fired. It's not happening
with Robert Taylor. But here was Robert Salah explaining Aaron
(07:11):
rodgers absence earlier today.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
No, he's he's hot, man. I tell you, Robert sala
is hot. He doesn't like that. He was running stairs
and thought his quarterback was going to be there and
then he didn't. He's hot. Uh. And here he is
again from later on in the press conference, after getting
that blake you Aaron Rodgers out of his system. Here
is later on in the press conference, talking about Aaron
rodgers absence.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Aaron and I spoke before OTA started. He's been very
good in communication. He's been here the entire time. It's inexcused.
But he had an event that was very important to him,
which he communicated.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
He had something very important. He had something very important
he had to do, so he's not very us here.
I mean more important than the job that he said.
We had to cut out all the BS, distractions and
everything else. I hear Robert Sala say that to play
it one more time, because I can hear just the
point of Robert Salah goes. People now understand, I have
no power here in this organization whatsoever. No one listens
(08:12):
to me. I have noticed I am a Unich in
those organizations. Number eight is the true head coach of
this team. Play it again, Play the real one, you
jerky Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Aaron and I spoke before OTIA started. He's been very
good in communication. He's been here the entire time. It's inexcused,
but he had an event that was very important to him,
which he communicated.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
But it's mandatory, you're here, and it's an excuse. But
he had an event that was that was very inexcuse.
You hadn event that was it was very important to
very important, inexperience important. In other words, I really I
don't I don't make any decisions here whatsoever. He told
me he's not coming, and he's not coming, and they're
not gonna find and they're not gonna suspend, not do anything.
Because the entire season rides on eight right, all of
(08:59):
the ill the bad head coach that he is the
bed oc that the Jets have. They're hoping that Rogers
just covers up all of those ills, like when you
have a a wall with water stains and all kinds
of stuff. Finis, I'm just I'm just gonna put some
paint over and it's gonna look awesome. That's Aaron Rodgers.
Like here is Robert Salas say, I have absolutely no
(09:21):
power with this team. I don't make any decisions. I
just he told me he had something very important, So
it's an excused but he's not there. No, he's not.
And and is there any come uppings for it? I mean,
I mean no, not really, but but I'm gonna be
fighting in kan he guys know it's inexcused. Oh no,
because people put out it's like, well, you know, he
faces fines and whatever. It was twenty five and thirty
(09:42):
thousand dollars or whatever. It's like, yeah, all right, his
rounding errors. He didn't care and they're not actually gonna
collect that money. They should, they should, they should. Fut
when they play this on TV, Robert sala not a
shot caller. That should be the fought Robert Salad. It
works pretty well. I have exasperated already though, between that
and the Reddick's story that's circling around. He's uh, he's
(10:03):
Sam Weinberg from a few good men. I have no
responsibilities here, right, all responsibilities here? Whatsoever? When Aaron Rodgers, hey,
when he tells me he's here, he's here, it's great.
It works out grabbing like Solid, he's just a dude.
He's just a guy now. He's just filling a suit.
The only reason he's there is because Rogers got hurt
last year as well. We get them all again if
(10:25):
we upset the apple cart too much. What does that mean?
Let's bring everybody back this year. We bring our GM back,
bringer head coach back, bring everybody back. I hope that
it works. But Solid he's just a guy now because
you couldn't get rid of him because Hackett would have
been gone too. He's that's not a bit. Rogers is
the offensive court, that's what. But that's his empty suit
that he loves so much. That doesn't matter. It's his
(10:46):
guy friends. Solid, he's a He's just a guy who
stands around and he's a cheerleader on the sidelines. That's
what Robert Solid does. I'm doing I'm doing this commercial.
Aroun'm brushing my teeth, I look pretty good, draws plays
in the I mean, it's all of these things. Not
that they needed to come out and say, hey, this
is a big deal or really be combative with him,
(11:08):
but to just say, yeah, hey there's a really important
event that Aaron had to attend to. Hey, I think
you have like seventy five or eighty guys here that
could say, hey, I had an important event. I want
to do it. But this is exactly like we talked
about with all these situations. Right Lakers yesterday, find the
podcast wherever you get your audio, the iHeartRadio app, Curious
(11:29):
with You, wherever you go globally talking about the Lakers right,
the pr win that they could have had. And I've
used the term win loosely with quotes and blinking letters
or whatever in terms of, hey, you know, he is
one of the guys talking about Danny Hurley of one
of the guys where on the radar and we'll get
(11:49):
into shams and Woe's slap fight because I want to
put him in the cage once and for all. But
it's the idea of you put out a statement and
get get ahead of it. With Robert Salah, he could
just easily said, you know, we we had a conversation.
He's been good about communication where he starts and just
leave it there, and we talked about it. He's not
gonna he wasn't able to join us for this, and
(12:11):
we've talked about it. It's an important thing for us
in our team, but he can't drive. But leave it there.
Don't say that he's got some other important event, because
now you're minimizing you may not seem like so important.
Where if it was something that was a big deal,
if it was a life or death thing, or it
would have been an excused absence, they would have easily
excused thing here. I gotta been so making an excused
(12:32):
abs and so what we talked to have to do
a podcast?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I heard he was on a Putin rally. I'm going
on his stop. I'm watching Steven Sagal movies. Uh, I mean,
is he on a darkness retreat? Is he on one
of those hike retreats where you like one of those
things Tyshirt does where he walks in the desert with
no water for like five days and trying to see
his future, Like like, what what's he doing? Like, what's
so what's so, Hey, I got an e vet. That's
(12:57):
where you get the coyote with Johnny Cash Boys in
the sky, Hello Homer. But I mean I because if
it was, if it was an important thing, it would
be excused, because they would easily excuse Rogers from all over.
But again, it just seems like you could have said
it's excused, we don't need to go into details of it.
(13:17):
And maybe it becomes a public thing because he's at
a rally for somebody tomorrow. I don't know, but very easily,
at least in an ever basketball game watching Caitlin Clark
A right, everything's great, Yeah, goes throwing out a ceremonial
for this Savannah bananas. I mean, really, this just shows
you that the Jets, I mean, he makes every single
(13:38):
decision on this team Jets show. That's what this is,
like the season or not, but he makes every single
and the head coach is just a guy standing there
saying I got to wear a swell headset, right all right? Cool?
Hey man, he's cashing a pretty big check. Do I
have to pay for any of the gear they give
me to wear in game days?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I get that for free. Oh that's awesome. All right,
cool man, I like that. I mean really, it's just
everybody else is so minimized it. Whatever I want to do,
I'm gonna do. That's me, That's what it is. It's
nice to have that kind of authority. It's all about
eight man exit out, about a Fresca exit swalling down.

dot Com studios, and a story that none of the
star we're here to talk about today, but I love
all the mock outrange from everybody. This is an American hero. Yeah, okay,
it's right to have fun with. Uh can't believe this
is happening. Oh my goodness, I get to sound so
(15:58):
off the cuff and so glid talking about Joey Chestnut.
But wow, Uh, Joey Chestnut National hot dog Eating Champion
the last fifteen years, the biggest name in competitive eating.
He's got as many hot dog titles as Rick Flair.
He does World Chammion Woo sixteen times. He is, according
(16:20):
to reports today, out and been banned from the twenty
twenty four Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Championship, which of course
is gonna be on the fourth of July because he
has signed a deal with an impossible foods company, sign
a three year deal for one point two million dollars. Right, So,
because he's done that, he is now banned from taking
(16:44):
part at the hot dog eating contest. Now, they tried
to find a way around it. They tried to find
a way for him to participate, but hey, we can't
say the name of the company you represent, and it's
just the stupidest controversy. Dude, you can still be in
po will come and then not with I mean come on.
But obviously they would want the money. So he's banned
(17:08):
from the hot dog eating contest because he signed with
an impossible foods company. Well, Impossible Foods is the company, right,
Impossible right?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Well but when you say impossible foods, people understand that.
I want people understand that it's yeah, no meat, plant based,
That's what it is to you see impossible burgers and
possible chicken patties and tenders and not meat. Now, before
we can do the whole fake outrage no longer, just
just think about this for a second, all right. He
(17:36):
has before he said he figured out, could be figured out.
He has crossed the meat rubicon like hot dog eating,
this is meat. This is meat. This is meat. I'm
eating meat. And he does hot dogs and chicken wings
and all kinds. He this is meat. Nathan's hot dog
is meat. And what does he do? I'm gonna side
with a fake meat company. Wait what Yes, he needs
(17:59):
I'm gonna go to Impossible Foods and I'm gonna I'm
gonna pump impossible burgers and all kinds of stuff like
that's like a huge in the in the competitive eating meat.
I mean, he went in a meat world. He went
non meat. Well, I mean on the anniversary. Yeah, but
it's the anniversary of Hey, go get your shine box, right,
nineteen seventy June eleventh. That's kind of what Joey Jess
(18:21):
said these I mean, I mean he has decided not
only am I gonna go sign with a rival, I'm
gonna do this. No no, no, I'm gonna sign with
a fake meat, not a different hot dog. No no no,
no no no no, not not ay Oscar Meyer, not
going you know, some bougie, no Dodger dog. No no, no,
no no. I'm gonna cross over and go to the
(18:41):
dark side. Man. One point two million dollars, So I'm
gonna go. Man, I don't know that I want to
eat that, because I did send you guys out a
link about a study that may shorten your life. You know,
if you're eating that, you did well there, So there
is so that the dark side of the moon over there.
But you know, I look, I I could go eat
salads and and you know, fruit smoothies for a while
for one point two million, I'd be okay. Yeah, but
(19:03):
if I made my life and live. But that's trading
card you were getting paid for, Like you were getting
on year. Now cross dogs and now you you just
haven't gone. You have spit in the face of of
meat in general and hot dogs like you said, no, no, no,
I'm gonna go there and do that. That's like saying, hey,
you know what, I'm the biggest Star Wars fan in
the world. Yes, And I appear at all the conferences,
(19:26):
and I go to everything, and I pumped Star Wars
and I say how great Star Wars. Star Wars pays
me to come out and talk about how great The
Acolyte is, even though hey, it's not getting great reviews,
but yet somehow it got review bombed on Tomatoes. Hey,
I want to tell you how great this movie is
and how underrated Solo is. I'm this great Star Wars.
I'm a great Star Wars. I'll tell you about suff
they pay me. I go to car I do everything,
(19:46):
and then all of a sudden, I go, oh, sorry, hey,
I'm jumping over to Star Trek. They're paying me money,
They're paying me more money. So now I'm gonna go
and I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna pump Star Trek
and go oh hey. Kirk Corporate Card eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. I'm gonna that's like, I mean,
that's there. You don't because you're not Star Wars and
Star Trek. You're one or the other. It's like, that's
what he's done. He's going to say, yeah, yeah, meat
(20:08):
hot dogs. Nathan's here's the belt, the mustard belt there
and now I'm gonna go and I'm gonna pump no meat.
But does he go in and but here's the thing, right,
does this just preclude him from the hot dog? And
like if he goes on some you know, meatball contests,
you know in Hoboken, New Jersey. Dude, look, man, the
same thing happened and he just fritzed out. But he retired.
(20:28):
Now he retired in May. This is the opportunity for
him to come crashing back through the game. I don't know.
I mean his stomach hasn't you know, no, been fully
repaired to now I'm forty six years old. I don't
think I think you hit your people. Well, I don't know, man,
I can still eat. But I mean the over unders
now only like fifty dogs. Yeah yeah, yeah, Now people think,
hey open up the world. The guy that finished third
(20:49):
is the favorite line. Get a chance now, I mean, sir,
this is now, But now are more people? Are anybody
gonna watch because you're gonna see someone win eating less
hot dogs? Joey chestnuts not there because people watch? How
many can the guy he's gonna eat seventy it's gonna
eat seventy five? Isn't too hot? Is he not gonna
be able to do it? But the only reason you're
watching is the reversal or if he has the opportunity
(21:09):
to slam someone who gets in his way again, because
he did that a couple of years ago. Remember that,
Oh yeah, that guy that got up on the stage
and then they had the weather delay where he came.
He's like, no, no, no, we're we're we're doing this contest
and he ran down the aisle like he was Rick
Flair saying I'm defending my belt, damn it. Uh So,
you know, except for those moments, I gotta be honest.
(21:30):
Out of July fourth, Like we talk about it because
we know it's there, Do we really care? Like we
kind of we kind of approached it for a watch. Yeah,
But the thing you don't watch it watching it, you're
anti American though he's an American hero. You can't watch
an American hero. I watched it on Twitter, and when
(21:51):
they truncated it in the thirty seconds, in the famous
words of Homer Simpson, you don't like it. Moved to Russia. Okay,
that's it. No, that's he's not an American here. Now
here's one there speaking to heroes. Alex Tyshert, Mister mister, mister, mister,
mister healthy is unlimited. Is is Joey Chestnut now your
(22:11):
favorite athlete? Because now he's he's pumping impossible foods. Absolutely
he has met. You wear Joey Chestnut T shirts now
and Joey Chestnut mustard belts.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Of course I have two jerseys on the way.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
What colors are beyond me?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
What? What?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
What color is the Uh? They're actually mustard yellow. Oh,
I shouldn't have said mustard yellow. He wouldn't have had that.
I wouldn't actually right off of that. No, it's good.
It's good recall though, but it shows active listening on
the part of ty Shirt, something all of America could stand.
The listening could stand to benefit from. Yeah, because most
of ty Shirt is passive listening. I agree, not just
(22:45):
saying in general it is a lost art. Uh, well,
because everybody's watching movies now on your iPad or on
your phone and doing that. That's how good I know
a movie is off. I'm putting my phone down, I'm
gonna watch. I gotta say I enjoyed the bright Harper
as much as you may hate him. One of the
things he talked about, you know, when they were in London, Yeah,
it's so much better over here because people aren't on
(23:09):
their phones. They're all drinking outside of bars rather than
being their phone. But they were drinking and talking instead
of drinking and being on their phones, which is what
people do in America. Some ass had also said the
food there is better than New York. Yeah, I know
that guy ought to be fired. I listened. I think
the metal of the damn team, that's you're trying to
move to London. I think that's what's going up.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
Well, Jason, you have to remember too, beyond meat is
actually easier to digest than the actual meat, so he
might eat more now.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, but it's it's not the same. But it's not meat.
But it's not me. It's not the same competition. It's
the impossibles meat is he start his own circuit the
impossible Impossible Challenge, Like they know they would have to
name a hot dog after him, right, so we got
that on Cony Island. And then they have the you know,
the Joey chestnut. It's impossible, you would call it the
hot jack. You want to eat this on the Impossible Challenge?
(23:56):
Oh so kind of like Adam Richmond Man versus food. Yeah,
it's his own thing, or what's his name? Andrew Zimmer
with the Bizarre Food you know, the Impossible Chicken Tenders
Challenge A good idea, yeah, but she creates his own circuits.
He's like live golf sees who wants to defect. I'm
just on the established eating contests across the globe. I'm
(24:17):
just glad that Tyshirt now has a guy to root
for his sports. And you know he doesn't really pay
attention zero. He's gonna come in every day now with
a different Joey chestnuts.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
He's gonna be so obsessed with him, Like you.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Know today today this is they make a burger based
off of some kind of cashew nut or something.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
That'd be great. Really, you can't just say a burger
based off a chestnut. Really, But that's why didn't he
was there. Yeah, butts are delicious, though, I mean, especially
if you roast him on an open heard his name
is chestnuts. I get you, that was the joke. But
I like Cashew's right. But if his name was Joey Cashwestnut,
(24:54):
I think Joey Cashu is a character from the Sopranos.
If Joey would have said, but that was easy to
make a burger.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Out of out of it, just like low hanging fruit, Jason, Okay,
back to the whole plant.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yeah, but but all you do is eat fruit. That's okay,
your point, all right? So now every day I want
a Joey Chestnut stat from you. Every day now for
the rest of my word, until the next day. You're off.
So what what do you have Tomorrow? Friday? Friday? Okay, great, okay, alright, cool.
I just want to see Kobyashi come back. He's not
the dude's done. There's been done for years.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Man.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
No, No, he retired in me. Yeah no, but he's
been done for years. He hasn't he hasn't been able
to compete, hasn't really done a lot. Yeah, but he's
been at The door is old. It doesn't it doesn't matter.
It's It's like it's like Carmelo Anthony if you're playing
at the end, but you're not playing well, you're really
still playing like Kobyashi was he you don't get no Kobyashi,
(25:45):
no way, he says, I got so much problem. Here's
so many problems eating. You can't just start eating again
and get to fifty. You can't just start with one
last uh last hurrah. No no, no, I mean before
a global audience. I don't. I mean this is like
get added you Olympic team after you even left off.
Do I think for a second. Right now, Kobyashi is saying,
all I had to do was wait another month and
(26:08):
I could have gotten back in, but instead I retired
now and now, Joey chest Dot, do you jad you
have to file retirement papers like you're in the NFL?
But no, you know. And the other thing is think
about this for a second. Okay, so competitive eating. This
is kind of like the w NBA, where you know, hey,
why are you Why is everybody so anti Caitlin Clark?
But we are the two biggest stars you have had
(26:30):
now for the past two decades. Kobyashi was a one
name dynasty, right was amazing Joey Chestnut's taken that and
amped it up. And now both of these guys have
left Major League eating or been banned because of some
kind of business proposal or agreement that nobody could work
(26:50):
their way out of the two biggest names in the sport.
They have found a way to say, yeah, you're done.
But that's okay, Kobyashi, we got Joey Chestnut. Now Joey Chestnut,
You're like, how do you do that? Like, who's running this?
I mean I have more confidence people running the WNBA
over under was sixty eight and a half. I mean
he just shows over under it now zero zero zero.
(27:11):
But yeah, more hot dogs on the fourth of July
than Joey Chestnut. But it's just the curiosity in a
day and age where hot dogs, I mean they've always been,
you know, just kind of the throw in on the
grill and very popular, right pop on by the bun
versus how many hot dogs you get? You know, and
that never made any sense, But that's okay. But it's
(27:31):
the idea that we can get hot dogs anyway. Right,
you walk out of any sporting event, there's a million
people that have their you know, Habachi grills and what
do you want with some onions? Here's all the different mustards.
Now you can buy alcohol with it. I don't know
how this is legal, but it is, and it's become
so American's so capital is capitalism at its best. And
(27:56):
now because he took the business deal, he's precluded from
the pre eminent event of the eating circuit America. See,
you're trying too hard to make an American hero. You
try to tell you, maybe America, you're trying to make
America at all. He's not Joe No, no fighting Cobra
(28:16):
and Neustro.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
No.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I mean he's got nothing on him, rip Norks, no chance,
no chance. I Meananna William refrigerator, Perry g I Joe
figure at one point, I really it's amazing how major
league eating is that. Note No, we're going to continue
to shoot ourselves on the foot and not be able
to come to any kind of and not pay Joey
chestnutt a little bit more money. Right, he left for
(28:38):
three with three years, one hundred and two million dollars.
It's not a lot of money. Who said he was
making about at grand off of the Uh yeah, so,
hot dog, that's not a lot. You didn't have you
didn't have more money, you could have thrown him a
little bit. But did he go and try to negotiate
like that? How the behind the scenes here right, because
I heard so many people trying to talk about the
the Danny Hurley. It's like if they don't like, throw
the more money, It's like, no, no, it's not all
(29:01):
about dollars. I sense for everybody. But in this case,
clearly he wanted the dollars and sex. I mean, because
it's his life has been eating. Danny Hurley's still going
to coach tomorrow. Yeah, but you could have gone. You
could have canvassed the meat industry and said, hey, we
gotta rub some nickels together to keep Joey chest. He's
going to eat impossible meat. And rancher say coming, good, ranchers,
(29:23):
we're coming in and say what do you need to
keep Joey? It's like, nil, what do you need to
keep Joey chest? Dutch? Why do we need him in
wisconstin beef? Let's do it. Let's let's get him in
a meat dress like he's got God, what we let's go?
What do we need more? Well, impossible Burger's give him
one point two million. We'll get to too much. Yeah, sure,
good Red, they could get him up too much. Yeah,
I'm staying I'm eating meat. This is an anti meat day?
Is an anti meat day? You tell me you couldn't
(29:45):
find a way to figure that out. We just figured
that out. We're not even anything close to CEO. Yeah, meat,
Well yeah, I mean meanwhile, my daughter sent me a
thing earlier about a ten pound brisket challenge down the
road and here in LA. What do you think you
want to go? Is it impossible brisket? No? All right,
well then I don't know. It might be impossible to
eat ten pounds of brisket, but I think I might
want to go try that exit out about a Fresca
(30:06):
exit swollen dope. We'll have more on that, but straight ahead,
the latest shoveling of crap that has been thrown at
us with Caitlin Clark not making the USA Olympic team.
Why do we tell you what happened today and how
in shape for this story continues to get That's not right, Jason,
(30:29):
Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. You want the latest example of just
how full of crap USA Olympic women's Basketball is not
taking Caitlyn Clark to the Olympics. Because we've talked about
this Less Cup still a big deal. They could have
taken her bottom of the roster. What she brings to
(30:58):
women's basketball is worth a raw spot at the bottom,
but they just keep getting in deeper when they try
to defend not taking Caitlin Clark. Today, the big story
was Jen Rizzotti, former Yukon star point guard, who is
the selection committee chair, so she was in charge of
the committee that selected all the players, and the headline
(31:20):
today was the reason Caitlin Clark was not selected is
because of her inexperience. Like okay, okay, Now, in theory,
that sounds great, you know, theory, your experience is not
there because there's a lot of players that have experience.
There's a lot of players on the team that have
experienced with the national team. She wasn't able to do
it this year because she was leading Iowa to the
(31:41):
national championship game. So i which is still kind of
a dopey time to have that, which is a whole
other problems. Let's have it when you know potential participants
are still playing, whether it's Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, whoever
on a given year might still be engaged in the
NCAA tournament. Nah, we don't even need them crashing the
(32:01):
gate to come to tryout. So here's your reason again,
it's quinn. Okay, all right, I get it. Still, you
could have put her at the bottom of the roster.
No one's gonna care how much she plays. Obviously you
have a problem with the women who were selected would
have a problem with Caitlyn Clark going, which you have
to tell them tough, she's barely gonna play. She's big
for women's basketball. Embrace her and stop being a baby.
(32:24):
I would tell everybody stop being a baby about Caitlyn Clark.
You're being stupid. All you're doing is hurting the sport.
But here's where nothing holds water. And I could tell
you that they looked for a reason to say no
for Caitlyn Clark inexperience right in experience. Even Dana Tarrossi
talked about it. This is gonna be wor there's sixth Olympics,
and you know she's remember my first one, and sure
this will be good for you know, Caitlyn in the
(32:45):
long run, being able to do all different kinds of things.
I remember when I was taking boy, the veterans took
me under their wing. In the last twenty years. I
remember Olympics are only every four years, so it's not
like in the last twenty years. Four times women's Olympic
team took rookies. No times, four times, you didn't know
included not one and not two, not three, but four,
(33:08):
including Diana Tarasson. How about that who made it when
she was a rookie Batch and she was really well
established and decorated in college. Yeah, she won championships. Nobody
had a better individual collegiate career than Kitlyn Clark, who
had the best collegiate career than anybody in the history
of the game. But you're gonna tell me it's inexperience.
But yet you took a rookie basically every year, whether
(33:31):
it was Candace Parker, you took her. You took As
I said, Diana try who now was talking about what
it's like not making the team when you were taken
as a rookie, when when when you're someone you were
like fifteen six and four as a rookie. Katelyn Clark
is already fifteen six and four, that was like your
rookie year. These are all people who were taken, right,
Cannis Parker, These were all players twelve games. You you were,
(33:55):
you were well. But it's the first one being taken
as a rookie. That's a really big deal because because
you have done it, so you can't sit here and
tell me, oh, well, we don't want to take players
because of the experience factor when it's clear you reserve
a spot or you do that every single year, you
take a rookie every year. But no, no, Caitlin Clark,
because for whatever reason, players are anti her, for whatever
(34:18):
stupid reason that they just have to get over. So
again USA Olympic is just shoveling a whole bunch of
crap at you, at you with this because this argument
makes absolutely no sense. Well but that's it's another great
example of all right, we're just gonna keep moving the argument.
We'll settle on something that people like now keeps it
in the conversation, which is good for us. With another
day between NBA Finals games and everything else. But it's
(34:42):
just the idea that you know, you keep moving the
goalpost on some of this and finding new ways to
outrage folk. Now you're engaging folks, right, we're talking about it.
So is that good? I don't know that it's good
if these are the type of statements that you're gonna make, right,
because the pro we had the basketball arguments versus the
(35:05):
popularity marketing sales, and people like, well it's not the WNBA.
It's like no, no, no, But it's the whole idea
of women's basketball. You don't parse those apart. Right, You're
still trying to look at what is good for the
game and saying that putting her on the team, you
know she doesn't have the experience and blah blah blah,
and who are you gonna take off somebody? But and
(35:25):
here's the other part of it is that think about
this angle of it is that they took these young
players because these were all number one picks people coming
in who they wanted to help. Hey, we know you're
gonna be a star on the WNBA. We're taking you
to the Olympics. We don't know how much you're gonna
play because you are to train with the bus. You're
gonna train and we're gonna help you become a star.
They decided to do that for Brianna Stewart and to
(35:46):
Rossie and Canni's Park, but they're not gonna do it
for Kaitlyn Clark. No, no, no, not gonna take her,
not gonna This shows you the anti Caitlin Clark contingent
is just absolutely insane right now. It's just insane, and
it makes I would almost rather somebody just pull the
curtain back and say, hey, we're only doing this to
keep to keep the conversation going. We're only doing this
(36:08):
and not and treating Caitlin Clark poorly, because boy, it's
a big story she's playing. It's a big story. And
when we don't give her things, or we foul her hard,
or we don't pick her for the Olympics, it's still
a big story. So that's why we're doing We really
love her, but we're doing this because, boy, this gives
you more stuff to talk about. I'd almost rather they
say that, say, really, where playing it? Doesn't you know?
We're collectively playing the heel for this narrative because it's fun.
(36:31):
Everybody loves Kaitland Clark. You can hate us or someone
gets in front of a microphone, because you know what,
we've won seven in a row. We don't want to
ride in our coat tails. This is our team. We
get to run it back. I mean just I mean
to hear Jen Rizzoti say, oh, it's about experience, like
they were just what how can we say no? How
can we say no and make it sound legit? Well,
(36:52):
if they just stuck to the other part of the statement,
which wasn't about popularity and sales, our job was to
put forth the best team still holds no weight because
you're gonna win the gold medal if you put whomever
on the roster, right, I mean, that doesn't matter. You
could pick anybody from the w NBA for the twelfth
slot who is forty two, and it's gonna bring in tangibles.
(37:15):
That's why you're bringing her whatever else. She's still praising
really well, right, has her big moments still in the WNBA.
But again, it's a moment where you have the possible
great expansion of the game and the other eleven players
are not realizing the benefit and the lift from the
exposure eyeballs and everything else of being having Clerk on
(37:39):
the roster at all. The casuals that now won't watch
it all, and they'll catch the highlight on a Twitter
feed or in the late night evening news wrap up. Exit,
ab out a Fresca, Exit, swalling down the Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Just no, they
just find a way to not like her, and it
just gets worse and worse for them every day. Just

on the Christian McCaffrey story. Who is on the cover
(00:50):
of Madden twenty five. Psychologically, it's taking you down in
a bad, bad, bad space here and see the thing
is now people go, oh my god. Jason. All that said,
I'm not completely he's superstitious, but like, why would youious?
Like what if I have a big injury history and
I know there's a history of people on this thing
that that have gotten her. Why would I do that,
(01:11):
especially since it's not like, hey, they're gonna give you
twenty five million dollars like you just signed. You've been
making a lot of money. You just signed for a
lot of money. Like, I don't know, I think I
think that'd be something where like is it really that necessary?
Do I really want it?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
What week do you have him getting hurt? Let's do that?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I had a week three?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I mean I went back and watched or what if
he stopped? What if he's starts out, has a bad year,
like Josh Allens had a bad year last year. You
didn't think Josh Allen gonna have that a down year
last year. Josh Allen had a down year because that's
been the thing the last few years. If guys have
not had great years being on the cover. So you
have the injury history of Christian McCaffrey, and you have
guys haven't down years, Why would you do that? Like
(01:51):
he doesn't need it, Guys who would need it? I
would say, yeah, like hey, Garrett Wilson short, well, No,
I don't want any jet on the cover. Everybody looking
for some sort of good you did, But you did
you just walked right into your own trap. I want
to get my guys on it. No, wait a minute,
I walked him into the curves. Think of guys, who
needs breeze hall on there while you're at gwenton Johnson
should be on the cover of Matt twenty Fokay, I
(02:12):
would you know? I went got a side swipe in.
I'm just the man's are trying to recover from a
what wasn't off times catastrophic rookie season. Yeah, try and
recover from a catastrophic season in which he kept dropping
the football. I think back to this. By the way,
Josh Allen was still the number one quarterback by you know,
(02:32):
like forty points, right, but he still had to But overall,
it's not fantasy wise. Overall he had a down year. Yeah,
Christian mccafrey doesn't care about He doesn't fantasy. He wants
to win. But it was a down year for Josh
Allen throwing the football playoff wise, everything else was a
down year for him. It's a fantasy doesn't stay. That's
about us. That's about us. But I'm just saying, like performance,
it's paid wins loss versus individual statistical output. I mean,
(02:56):
Josh Allen still put forth a tremendous EPA. You know,
I keep thinking back to this episode of West Wing
where the President, where President Bartlett was, had a photo
op with a guy who had gotten his picture taken
with every president going back like sixty years. And he goes,
and the first president he took a picture with was
(03:18):
Herbert Hoover. And it turns out, oh, Bartlett meets me
to take a picture, and there was a big stock
market thing going on in the West Wing in this episode,
and he tells the guy how old were you when
you got your picture? He goes, I was nine years old.
It was on September twenty fifth, nineteen twenty nine. He says, really,
the next day the stock market crash. He goes, yeah,
(03:38):
that was a tough day. And so bartlet's just wait
a minute. And he talks to the Charlie who was
his body man. He goes, am I crazy for thinking
to blowing off this this photo op because you know,
there's a lot of stock market stuff going on, and
the guy president took a picture of this guy the
next day of the stock market type and Charlie played
by Deula Hill says I can't believe you're thinking about this,
(03:58):
or he goes, oh, you're right, I'm being silly. No,
I can't believe you're actually thinking about doing this. You
gotta take a picture with this guy. And tomorrow there
said yeah, and Barlow walked out, So we got to reschedule.
We got to reschedule. So I think about this with
Christian McCaffrey, I'm like, Okay, injury history, Yeah, it's great.
He used to play the game. That's awesome. I mean,
in the end, is he a guy that can look
back at his career and say, hey, it was great
(04:20):
being on the cover that year. I got heard right
and played very well with it. But it doesn't matter.
I was on the cover of Madden Medden. I mean,
but I don't know, man, I wouldn't want to bus
fate with that. I mean, you walk around saying the
what iff like, I went back for a second helping
of iron quantity. I don't think psychologically that was the
best thing for me to do.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Guys that are in the wrestling business and then it
seems like there's a curse coming after each of them.
With the Madden cover for a long time, that was
the thing. It's like, Wow, you really really bold, aren't you.
I don't know what it did you know for their
dating lives or their cache. I mean, the guy's a
badass in the locker room because he tempts fate. He
didn't care. Wouldn't do it? Man, wouldn't woul in temp fate?
(05:00):
Wouldn't temp fate? Scared not the not the only big
NFL story of the day because someone else tempting fate
excel Wait for it. Aaron Rodgers is not with the
Jets for any camp. It is an unexcused absence. And
even though he's with the team for record. Look, he
(05:22):
was with the team for all the ot as the
last three weeks. When he looks like he's about ninety,
I'm I'm I'm building up to the story. Build up
faster these listen. I saw a buster on his account yesterday.
Oh Tani's banned from baseball for life. You worry about that?
Go burn your Lindor jerseys. Oh no, no, I would.
(05:43):
I would be okay with Traddy lind Or to the A's.
He's driving him across country. Hey, mister smile, this is great.
You go. Smile is on the back of the bus.
Everybody talking's right, You're gonna love Sacramento. Man, it's gonna
be awesome for the next like two or three years
until you're thirty five. Now it'd be great. But Rogers,
(06:04):
who's been with the team OTAs and by all accounts
he looks really good. No look passes are making their
way onto social media. He says he's about ninety percent
right now. Still it's a long time to go. But
he's not with the team now for their mini camp
three day mini camp. There are four players, four stars
in the NFL who are not with their teams for
mini camp. The Jets have two of them.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Jets.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Jets, you're leading the offseason. Isn't that what you always want?
But this is the part where this story goes from
you know, I don't really care he misses. He's been
here all off season. It's been great. It's it's awesome. Yes,
I understand we need to build together this and do this, okay,
But this is the part where I go from blowing
the story off to just go. The Jets can't not
jet for five minutes. Here's head coach Robert Sala explaining
(06:49):
Aaron Rodgers unexcused absence from the Jets Mini camp. I
think I was from the other story. But dude, if
that happened to Aaron, right, they're all getting fired. So okay,
just so you understand, they're all fired. It's not happening
with Robert Taylor. But here was Robert Salah explaining Aaron
(07:11):
rodgers absence earlier today.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
No, he's he's hot, man. I tell you, Robert sala
is hot. He doesn't like that. He was running stairs
and thought his quarterback was going to be there and
then he didn't. He's hot. Uh. And here he is
again from later on in the press conference, after getting
that blake you Aaron Rodgers out of his system. Here
is later on in the press conference, talking about Aaron
rodgers absence.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Aaron and I spoke before OTA started. He's been very
good in communication. He's been here the entire time. It's inexcused.
But he had an event that was very important to him,
which he communicated.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
He had something very important. He had something very important
he had to do, so he's not very us here.
I mean more important than the job that he said.
We had to cut out all the BS, distractions and
everything else. I hear Robert Sala say that to play
it one more time, because I can hear just the
point of Robert Salah goes. People now understand, I have
no power here in this organization whatsoever. No one listens
(08:12):
to me. I have noticed I am a Unich in
those organizations. Number eight is the true head coach of
this team. Play it again, Play the real one, you
jerky Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Aaron and I spoke before OTIA started. He's been very
good in communication. He's been here the entire time. It's inexcused,
but he had an event that was very important to him,
which he communicated.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
But it's mandatory, you're here, and it's an excuse. But
he had an event that was that was very inexcuse.
You hadn event that was it was very important to
very important, inexperience important. In other words, I really I
don't I don't make any decisions here whatsoever. He told
me he's not coming, and he's not coming, and they're
not gonna find and they're not gonna suspend, not do anything.
Because the entire season rides on eight right, all of
(08:59):
the ill the bad head coach that he is the
bed oc that the Jets have. They're hoping that Rogers
just covers up all of those ills, like when you
have a a wall with water stains and all kinds
of stuff. Finis, I'm just I'm just gonna put some
paint over and it's gonna look awesome. That's Aaron Rodgers.
Like here is Robert Salas say, I have absolutely no
(09:21):
power with this team. I don't make any decisions. I
just he told me he had something very important, So
it's an excused but he's not there. No, he's not.
And and is there any come uppings for it? I mean,
I mean no, not really, but but I'm gonna be
fighting in kan he guys know it's inexcused. Oh no,
because people put out it's like, well, you know, he
faces fines and whatever. It was twenty five and thirty
(09:42):
thousand dollars or whatever. It's like, yeah, all right, his
rounding errors. He didn't care and they're not actually gonna
collect that money. They should, they should, they should. Fut
when they play this on TV, Robert sala not a
shot caller. That should be the fought Robert Salad. It
works pretty well. I have exasperated already though, between that
and the Reddick's story that's circling around. He's uh, he's
(10:03):
Sam Weinberg from a few good men. I have no
responsibilities here, right, all responsibilities here? Whatsoever? When Aaron Rodgers, hey,
when he tells me he's here, he's here, it's great.
It works out grabbing like Solid, he's just a dude.
He's just a guy now. He's just filling a suit.
The only reason he's there is because Rogers got hurt
last year as well. We get them all again if
(10:25):
we upset the apple cart too much. What does that mean?
Let's bring everybody back this year. We bring our GM back,
bringer head coach back, bring everybody back. I hope that
it works. But Solid he's just a guy now because
you couldn't get rid of him because Hackett would have
been gone too. He's that's not a bit. Rogers is
the offensive court, that's what. But that's his empty suit
that he loves so much. That doesn't matter. It's his
(10:46):
guy friends. Solid, he's a He's just a guy who
stands around and he's a cheerleader on the sidelines. That's
what Robert Solid does. I'm doing I'm doing this commercial.
Aroun'm brushing my teeth, I look pretty good, draws plays
in the I mean, it's all of these things. Not
that they needed to come out and say, hey, this
is a big deal or really be combative with him,
(11:08):
but to just say, yeah, hey there's a really important
event that Aaron had to attend to. Hey, I think
you have like seventy five or eighty guys here that
could say, hey, I had an important event. I want
to do it. But this is exactly like we talked
about with all these situations. Right Lakers yesterday, find the
podcast wherever you get your audio, the iHeartRadio app, Curious
(11:29):
with You, wherever you go globally talking about the Lakers right,
the pr win that they could have had. And I've
used the term win loosely with quotes and blinking letters
or whatever in terms of, hey, you know, he is
one of the guys talking about Danny Hurley of one
of the guys where on the radar and we'll get
(11:49):
into shams and Woe's slap fight because I want to
put him in the cage once and for all. But
it's the idea of you put out a statement and
get get ahead of it. With Robert Salah, he could
just easily said, you know, we we had a conversation.
He's been good about communication where he starts and just
leave it there, and we talked about it. He's not
gonna he wasn't able to join us for this, and
(12:11):
we've talked about it. It's an important thing for us
in our team, but he can't drive. But leave it there.
Don't say that he's got some other important event, because
now you're minimizing you may not seem like so important.
Where if it was something that was a big deal,
if it was a life or death thing, or it
would have been an excused absence, they would have easily
excused thing here. I gotta been so making an excused
(12:32):
abs and so what we talked to have to do
a podcast?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I heard he was on a Putin rally. I'm going
on his stop. I'm watching Steven Sagal movies. Uh, I mean,
is he on a darkness retreat? Is he on one
of those hike retreats where you like one of those
things Tyshirt does where he walks in the desert with
no water for like five days and trying to see
his future, Like like, what what's he doing? Like, what's
so what's so, Hey, I got an e vet. That's
(12:57):
where you get the coyote with Johnny Cash Boys in
the sky, Hello Homer. But I mean I because if
it was, if it was an important thing, it would
be excused, because they would easily excuse Rogers from all over.
But again, it just seems like you could have said
it's excused, we don't need to go into details of it.
(13:17):
And maybe it becomes a public thing because he's at
a rally for somebody tomorrow. I don't know, but very easily,
at least in an ever basketball game watching Caitlin Clark
A right, everything's great, Yeah, goes throwing out a ceremonial
for this Savannah bananas. I mean, really, this just shows
you that the Jets, I mean, he makes every single
(13:38):
decision on this team Jets show. That's what this is,
like the season or not, but he makes every single
and the head coach is just a guy standing there
saying I got to wear a swell headset, right all right? Cool?
Hey man, he's cashing a pretty big check. Do I
have to pay for any of the gear they give
me to wear in game days?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I get that for free. Oh that's awesome. All right,
cool man, I like that. I mean really, it's just
everybody else is so minimized it. Whatever I want to do,
I'm gonna do. That's me, That's what it is. It's
nice to have that kind of authority. It's all about
eight man exit out, about a Fresca exit swalling down.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon, Dress Cobo live from the ti rack
dot Com studios, and a story that none of the
star we're here to talk about today, but I love
all the mock outrange from everybody. This is an American hero. Yeah, okay,
it's right to have fun with. Uh can't believe this
is happening. Oh my goodness, I get to sound so
(15:58):
off the cuff and so glid talking about Joey Chestnut.
But wow, Uh, Joey Chestnut National hot dog Eating Champion
the last fifteen years, the biggest name in competitive eating.
He's got as many hot dog titles as Rick Flair.
He does World Chammion Woo sixteen times. He is, according
(16:20):
to reports today, out and been banned from the twenty
twenty four Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Championship, which of course
is gonna be on the fourth of July because he
has signed a deal with an impossible foods company, sign
a three year deal for one point two million dollars. Right, So,
because he's done that, he is now banned from taking
(16:44):
part at the hot dog eating contest. Now, they tried
to find a way around it. They tried to find
a way for him to participate, but hey, we can't
say the name of the company you represent, and it's
just the stupidest controversy. Dude, you can still be in
po will come and then not with I mean come on.
But obviously they would want the money. So he's banned
(17:08):
from the hot dog eating contest because he signed with
an impossible foods company. Well, Impossible Foods is the company, right,
Impossible right?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Well but when you say impossible foods, people understand that.
I want people understand that it's yeah, no meat, plant based,
That's what it is to you see impossible burgers and
possible chicken patties and tenders and not meat. Now, before
we can do the whole fake outrage no longer, just
just think about this for a second, all right. He
(17:36):
has before he said he figured out, could be figured out.
He has crossed the meat rubicon like hot dog eating,
this is meat. This is meat. This is meat. I'm
eating meat. And he does hot dogs and chicken wings
and all kinds. He this is meat. Nathan's hot dog
is meat. And what does he do? I'm gonna side
with a fake meat company. Wait what Yes, he needs
(17:59):
I'm gonna go to Impossible Foods and I'm gonna I'm
gonna pump impossible burgers and all kinds of stuff like
that's like a huge in the in the competitive eating meat.
I mean, he went in a meat world. He went
non meat. Well, I mean on the anniversary. Yeah, but
it's the anniversary of Hey, go get your shine box, right,
nineteen seventy June eleventh. That's kind of what Joey Jess
(18:21):
said these I mean, I mean he has decided not
only am I gonna go sign with a rival, I'm
gonna do this. No no, no, I'm gonna sign with
a fake meat, not a different hot dog. No no no,
no no no no, not not ay Oscar Meyer, not
going you know, some bougie, no Dodger dog. No no, no,
no no. I'm gonna cross over and go to the
(18:41):
dark side. Man. One point two million dollars, So I'm
gonna go. Man, I don't know that I want to
eat that, because I did send you guys out a
link about a study that may shorten your life. You know,
if you're eating that, you did well there, So there
is so that the dark side of the moon over there.
But you know, I look, I I could go eat
salads and and you know, fruit smoothies for a while
for one point two million, I'd be okay. Yeah, but
(19:03):
if I made my life and live. But that's trading
card you were getting paid for, Like you were getting
on year. Now cross dogs and now you you just
haven't gone. You have spit in the face of of
meat in general and hot dogs like you said, no, no, no,
I'm gonna go there and do that. That's like saying, hey,
you know what, I'm the biggest Star Wars fan in
the world. Yes, And I appear at all the conferences,
(19:26):
and I go to everything, and I pumped Star Wars
and I say how great Star Wars. Star Wars pays
me to come out and talk about how great The
Acolyte is, even though hey, it's not getting great reviews,
but yet somehow it got review bombed on Tomatoes. Hey,
I want to tell you how great this movie is
and how underrated Solo is. I'm this great Star Wars.
I'm a great Star Wars. I'll tell you about suff
they pay me. I go to car I do everything,
(19:46):
and then all of a sudden, I go, oh, sorry, hey,
I'm jumping over to Star Trek. They're paying me money,
They're paying me more money. So now I'm gonna go
and I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna pump Star Trek
and go oh hey. Kirk Corporate Card eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. I'm gonna that's like, I mean,
that's there. You don't because you're not Star Wars and
Star Trek. You're one or the other. It's like, that's
what he's done. He's going to say, yeah, yeah, meat
(20:08):
hot dogs. Nathan's here's the belt, the mustard belt there
and now I'm gonna go and I'm gonna pump no meat.
But does he go in and but here's the thing, right,
does this just preclude him from the hot dog? And
like if he goes on some you know, meatball contests,
you know in Hoboken, New Jersey. Dude, look, man, the
same thing happened and he just fritzed out. But he retired.
(20:28):
Now he retired in May. This is the opportunity for
him to come crashing back through the game. I don't know.
I mean his stomach hasn't you know, no, been fully
repaired to now I'm forty six years old. I don't
think I think you hit your people. Well, I don't know, man,
I can still eat. But I mean the over unders
now only like fifty dogs. Yeah yeah, yeah, Now people think,
hey open up the world. The guy that finished third
(20:49):
is the favorite line. Get a chance now, I mean, sir,
this is now, But now are more people? Are anybody
gonna watch because you're gonna see someone win eating less
hot dogs? Joey chestnuts not there because people watch? How
many can the guy he's gonna eat seventy it's gonna
eat seventy five? Isn't too hot? Is he not gonna
be able to do it? But the only reason you're
watching is the reversal or if he has the opportunity
(21:09):
to slam someone who gets in his way again, because
he did that a couple of years ago. Remember that,
Oh yeah, that guy that got up on the stage
and then they had the weather delay where he came.
He's like, no, no, no, we're we're we're doing this contest
and he ran down the aisle like he was Rick
Flair saying I'm defending my belt, damn it. Uh So,
you know, except for those moments, I gotta be honest.
(21:30):
Out of July fourth, Like we talk about it because
we know it's there, Do we really care? Like we
kind of we kind of approached it for a watch. Yeah,
But the thing you don't watch it watching it, you're
anti American though he's an American hero. You can't watch
an American hero. I watched it on Twitter, and when
(21:51):
they truncated it in the thirty seconds, in the famous
words of Homer Simpson, you don't like it. Moved to Russia. Okay,
that's it. No, that's he's not an American here. Now
here's one there speaking to heroes. Alex Tyshert, Mister mister, mister, mister,
mister healthy is unlimited. Is is Joey Chestnut now your
(22:11):
favorite athlete? Because now he's he's pumping impossible foods. Absolutely
he has met. You wear Joey Chestnut T shirts now
and Joey Chestnut mustard belts.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Of course I have two jerseys on the way.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
What colors are beyond me?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
What? What?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
What color is the Uh? They're actually mustard yellow. Oh,
I shouldn't have said mustard yellow. He wouldn't have had that.
I wouldn't actually right off of that. No, it's good.
It's good recall though, but it shows active listening on
the part of ty Shirt, something all of America could stand.
The listening could stand to benefit from. Yeah, because most
of ty Shirt is passive listening. I agree, not just
(22:45):
saying in general it is a lost art. Uh, well,
because everybody's watching movies now on your iPad or on
your phone and doing that. That's how good I know
a movie is off. I'm putting my phone down, I'm
gonna watch. I gotta say I enjoyed the bright Harper
as much as you may hate him. One of the
things he talked about, you know, when they were in London, Yeah,
it's so much better over here because people aren't on
(23:09):
their phones. They're all drinking outside of bars rather than
being their phone. But they were drinking and talking instead
of drinking and being on their phones, which is what
people do in America. Some ass had also said the
food there is better than New York. Yeah, I know
that guy ought to be fired. I listened. I think
the metal of the damn team, that's you're trying to
move to London. I think that's what's going up.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
Well, Jason, you have to remember too, beyond meat is
actually easier to digest than the actual meat, so he
might eat more now.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, but it's it's not the same. But it's not meat.
But it's not me. It's not the same competition. It's
the impossibles meat is he start his own circuit the
impossible Impossible Challenge, Like they know they would have to
name a hot dog after him, right, so we got
that on Cony Island. And then they have the you know,
the Joey chestnut. It's impossible, you would call it the
hot jack. You want to eat this on the Impossible Challenge?
(23:56):
Oh so kind of like Adam Richmond Man versus food. Yeah,
it's his own thing, or what's his name? Andrew Zimmer
with the Bizarre Food you know, the Impossible Chicken Tenders
Challenge A good idea, yeah, but she creates his own circuits.
He's like live golf sees who wants to defect. I'm
just on the established eating contests across the globe. I'm
(24:17):
just glad that Tyshirt now has a guy to root
for his sports. And you know he doesn't really pay
attention zero. He's gonna come in every day now with
a different Joey chestnuts.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
He's gonna be so obsessed with him, Like you.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Know today today this is they make a burger based
off of some kind of cashew nut or something.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
That'd be great. Really, you can't just say a burger
based off a chestnut. Really, But that's why didn't he
was there. Yeah, butts are delicious, though, I mean, especially
if you roast him on an open heard his name
is chestnuts. I get you, that was the joke. But
I like Cashew's right. But if his name was Joey Cashwestnut,
(24:54):
I think Joey Cashu is a character from the Sopranos.
If Joey would have said, but that was easy to
make a burger.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Out of out of it, just like low hanging fruit, Jason, Okay,
back to the whole plant.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yeah, but but all you do is eat fruit. That's okay,
your point, all right? So now every day I want
a Joey Chestnut stat from you. Every day now for
the rest of my word, until the next day. You're off.
So what what do you have Tomorrow? Friday? Friday? Okay, great, okay, alright, cool.
I just want to see Kobyashi come back. He's not
the dude's done. There's been done for years.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Man.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
No, No, he retired in me. Yeah no, but he's
been done for years. He hasn't he hasn't been able
to compete, hasn't really done a lot. Yeah, but he's
been at The door is old. It doesn't it doesn't matter.
It's It's like it's like Carmelo Anthony if you're playing
at the end, but you're not playing well, you're really
still playing like Kobyashi was he you don't get no Kobyashi,
(25:45):
no way, he says, I got so much problem. Here's
so many problems eating. You can't just start eating again
and get to fifty. You can't just start with one
last uh last hurrah. No no, no, I mean before
a global audience. I don't. I mean this is like
get added you Olympic team after you even left off.
Do I think for a second. Right now, Kobyashi is saying,
all I had to do was wait another month and
(26:08):
I could have gotten back in, but instead I retired
now and now, Joey chest Dot, do you jad you
have to file retirement papers like you're in the NFL?
But no, you know. And the other thing is think
about this for a second. Okay, so competitive eating. This
is kind of like the w NBA, where you know, hey,
why are you Why is everybody so anti Caitlin Clark?
But we are the two biggest stars you have had
(26:30):
now for the past two decades. Kobyashi was a one
name dynasty, right was amazing Joey Chestnut's taken that and
amped it up. And now both of these guys have
left Major League eating or been banned because of some
kind of business proposal or agreement that nobody could work
(26:50):
their way out of the two biggest names in the sport.
They have found a way to say, yeah, you're done.
But that's okay, Kobyashi, we got Joey Chestnut. Now Joey Chestnut,
You're like, how do you do that? Like, who's running this?
I mean I have more confidence people running the WNBA
over under was sixty eight and a half. I mean
he just shows over under it now zero zero zero.
(27:11):
But yeah, more hot dogs on the fourth of July
than Joey Chestnut. But it's just the curiosity in a
day and age where hot dogs, I mean they've always been,
you know, just kind of the throw in on the
grill and very popular, right pop on by the bun
versus how many hot dogs you get? You know, and
that never made any sense, But that's okay. But it's
(27:31):
the idea that we can get hot dogs anyway. Right,
you walk out of any sporting event, there's a million
people that have their you know, Habachi grills and what
do you want with some onions? Here's all the different mustards.
Now you can buy alcohol with it. I don't know
how this is legal, but it is, and it's become
so American's so capital is capitalism at its best. And
(27:56):
now because he took the business deal, he's precluded from
the pre eminent event of the eating circuit America. See,
you're trying too hard to make an American hero. You
try to tell you, maybe America, you're trying to make
America at all. He's not Joe No, no fighting Cobra
(28:16):
and Neustro.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
No.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I mean he's got nothing on him, rip Norks, no chance,
no chance. I Meananna William refrigerator, Perry g I Joe
figure at one point, I really it's amazing how major
league eating is that. Note No, we're going to continue
to shoot ourselves on the foot and not be able
to come to any kind of and not pay Joey
chestnutt a little bit more money. Right, he left for
(28:38):
three with three years, one hundred and two million dollars.
It's not a lot of money. Who said he was
making about at grand off of the Uh yeah, so,
hot dog, that's not a lot. You didn't have you
didn't have more money, you could have thrown him a
little bit. But did he go and try to negotiate
like that? How the behind the scenes here right, because
I heard so many people trying to talk about the
the Danny Hurley. It's like if they don't like, throw
the more money, It's like, no, no, it's not all
(29:01):
about dollars. I sense for everybody. But in this case,
clearly he wanted the dollars and sex. I mean, because
it's his life has been eating. Danny Hurley's still going
to coach tomorrow. Yeah, but you could have gone. You
could have canvassed the meat industry and said, hey, we
gotta rub some nickels together to keep Joey chest. He's
going to eat impossible meat. And rancher say coming, good, ranchers,
(29:23):
we're coming in and say what do you need to
keep Joey? It's like, nil, what do you need to
keep Joey chest? Dutch? Why do we need him in
wisconstin beef? Let's do it. Let's let's get him in
a meat dress like he's got God, what we let's go?
What do we need more? Well, impossible Burger's give him
one point two million. We'll get to too much. Yeah, sure,
good Red, they could get him up too much. Yeah,
I'm staying I'm eating meat. This is an anti meat day?
Is an anti meat day? You tell me you couldn't
(29:45):
find a way to figure that out. We just figured
that out. We're not even anything close to CEO. Yeah, meat,
Well yeah, I mean meanwhile, my daughter sent me a
thing earlier about a ten pound brisket challenge down the
road and here in LA. What do you think you
want to go? Is it impossible brisket? No? All right,
well then I don't know. It might be impossible to
eat ten pounds of brisket, but I think I might
want to go try that exit out about a Fresca
(30:06):
exit swollen dope. We'll have more on that, but straight ahead,
the latest shoveling of crap that has been thrown at
us with Caitlin Clark not making the USA Olympic team.
Why do we tell you what happened today and how
in shape for this story continues to get That's not right, Jason,
(30:29):
Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. You want the latest example of just
how full of crap USA Olympic women's Basketball is not
taking Caitlyn Clark to the Olympics. Because we've talked about
this Less Cup still a big deal. They could have
taken her bottom of the roster. What she brings to
(30:58):
women's basketball is worth a raw spot at the bottom,
but they just keep getting in deeper when they try
to defend not taking Caitlin Clark. Today, the big story
was Jen Rizzotti, former Yukon star point guard, who is
the selection committee chair, so she was in charge of
the committee that selected all the players, and the headline
(31:20):
today was the reason Caitlin Clark was not selected is
because of her inexperience. Like okay, okay, Now, in theory,
that sounds great, you know, theory, your experience is not
there because there's a lot of players that have experience.
There's a lot of players on the team that have
experienced with the national team. She wasn't able to do
it this year because she was leading Iowa to the
(31:41):
national championship game. So i which is still kind of
a dopey time to have that, which is a whole
other problems. Let's have it when you know potential participants
are still playing, whether it's Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, whoever
on a given year might still be engaged in the
NCAA tournament. Nah, we don't even need them crashing the
(32:01):
gate to come to tryout. So here's your reason again,
it's quinn. Okay, all right, I get it. Still, you
could have put her at the bottom of the roster.
No one's gonna care how much she plays. Obviously you
have a problem with the women who were selected would
have a problem with Caitlyn Clark going, which you have
to tell them tough, she's barely gonna play. She's big
for women's basketball. Embrace her and stop being a baby.
(32:24):
I would tell everybody stop being a baby about Caitlyn Clark.
You're being stupid. All you're doing is hurting the sport.
But here's where nothing holds water. And I could tell
you that they looked for a reason to say no
for Caitlyn Clark inexperience right in experience. Even Dana Tarrossi
talked about it. This is gonna be wor there's sixth Olympics,
and you know she's remember my first one, and sure
this will be good for you know, Caitlyn in the
(32:45):
long run, being able to do all different kinds of things.
I remember when I was taking boy, the veterans took
me under their wing. In the last twenty years. I
remember Olympics are only every four years, so it's not
like in the last twenty years. Four times women's Olympic
team took rookies. No times, four times, you didn't know
included not one and not two, not three, but four,
(33:08):
including Diana Tarasson. How about that who made it when
she was a rookie Batch and she was really well
established and decorated in college. Yeah, she won championships. Nobody
had a better individual collegiate career than Kitlyn Clark, who
had the best collegiate career than anybody in the history
of the game. But you're gonna tell me it's inexperience.
But yet you took a rookie basically every year, whether
(33:31):
it was Candace Parker, you took her. You took As
I said, Diana try who now was talking about what
it's like not making the team when you were taken
as a rookie, when when when you're someone you were
like fifteen six and four as a rookie. Katelyn Clark
is already fifteen six and four, that was like your
rookie year. These are all people who were taken, right,
Cannis Parker, These were all players twelve games. You you were,
(33:55):
you were well. But it's the first one being taken
as a rookie. That's a really big deal because because
you have done it, so you can't sit here and
tell me, oh, well, we don't want to take players
because of the experience factor when it's clear you reserve
a spot or you do that every single year, you
take a rookie every year. But no, no, Caitlin Clark,
because for whatever reason, players are anti her, for whatever
(34:18):
stupid reason that they just have to get over. So
again USA Olympic is just shoveling a whole bunch of
crap at you, at you with this because this argument
makes absolutely no sense. Well but that's it's another great
example of all right, we're just gonna keep moving the argument.
We'll settle on something that people like now keeps it
in the conversation, which is good for us. With another
day between NBA Finals games and everything else. But it's
(34:42):
just the idea that you know, you keep moving the
goalpost on some of this and finding new ways to
outrage folk. Now you're engaging folks, right, we're talking about it.
So is that good? I don't know that it's good
if these are the type of statements that you're gonna make, right,
because the pro we had the basketball arguments versus the
(35:05):
popularity marketing sales, and people like, well it's not the WNBA.
It's like no, no, no, But it's the whole idea
of women's basketball. You don't parse those apart. Right, You're
still trying to look at what is good for the
game and saying that putting her on the team, you
know she doesn't have the experience and blah blah blah,
and who are you gonna take off somebody? But and
(35:25):
here's the other part of it is that think about
this angle of it is that they took these young
players because these were all number one picks people coming
in who they wanted to help. Hey, we know you're
gonna be a star on the WNBA. We're taking you
to the Olympics. We don't know how much you're gonna
play because you are to train with the bus. You're
gonna train and we're gonna help you become a star.
They decided to do that for Brianna Stewart and to
(35:46):
Rossie and Canni's Park, but they're not gonna do it
for Kaitlyn Clark. No, no, no, not gonna take her,
not gonna This shows you the anti Caitlin Clark contingent
is just absolutely insane right now. It's just insane, and
it makes I would almost rather somebody just pull the
curtain back and say, hey, we're only doing this to
keep to keep the conversation going. We're only doing this
(36:08):
and not and treating Caitlin Clark poorly, because boy, it's
a big story she's playing. It's a big story. And
when we don't give her things, or we foul her hard,
or we don't pick her for the Olympics, it's still
a big story. So that's why we're doing We really
love her, but we're doing this because, boy, this gives
you more stuff to talk about. I'd almost rather they
say that, say, really, where playing it? Doesn't you know?
We're collectively playing the heel for this narrative because it's fun.
(36:31):
Everybody loves Kaitland Clark. You can hate us or someone
gets in front of a microphone, because you know what,
we've won seven in a row. We don't want to
ride in our coat tails. This is our team. We
get to run it back. I mean just I mean
to hear Jen Rizzoti say, oh, it's about experience, like
they were just what how can we say no? How
can we say no and make it sound legit? Well,
(36:52):
if they just stuck to the other part of the statement,
which wasn't about popularity and sales, our job was to
put forth the best team still holds no weight because
you're gonna win the gold medal if you put whomever
on the roster, right, I mean, that doesn't matter. You
could pick anybody from the w NBA for the twelfth
slot who is forty two, and it's gonna bring in tangibles.
(37:15):
That's why you're bringing her whatever else. She's still praising
really well, right, has her big moments still in the WNBA.
But again, it's a moment where you have the possible
great expansion of the game and the other eleven players
are not realizing the benefit and the lift from the
exposure eyeballs and everything else of being having Clerk on
(37:39):
the roster at all. The casuals that now won't watch
it all, and they'll catch the highlight on a Twitter
feed or in the late night evening news wrap up. Exit,
ab out a Fresca, Exit, swalling down the Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Just no, they
just find a way to not like her, and it
just gets worse and worse for them every day. Just
(38:00):
keep doing your thing, Kaylen Clark coming up next, another
big story out of basketball. Fox
