get players striking out looking and doesn't go well. Telling you, man,
gotta listen to the whole show just minutes ago to
Grimace is here for everybody.

That's funny because Paya has just hit a double.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah that's nice, So it's nice. That's nice. It's two outs.
It's still a six to six game.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I told your Tani was going to strike out looking
because you turned your back on Grimace, and Otani struck
out looking.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
What else do you want?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
That's just because you hate Otani?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Dude. That's just science, man, that's just science.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Do you still have to apologize to yet?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
We have to apologize to a Tani for.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Seriously?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Oh? Hey, okay, sh hey, sorry you hired e bay
to be your translator? Good?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
This is good, solid start.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Okay, that's not a bad that's that's bad. You know
that's not a not a bad run there, just saying
bad job by you while getting the word sorry, and
that was well done. Uh again, you go anti Grimace
at your own at your own risk.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
How I know he lives on. How if Miguel Roass
gets a hit?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Okay, there's something to that.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
She gets a hit it I think I could be back.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
All right, we'll see see now here's where he's going now.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Okay, So now if you say something nice about Grimace,
if you say you want to get back on I said,
Grimace is for everybody.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Miguel Rojas will get a hit for you. Here and
the Dodger will go ahead.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Now we're just wishing for miracles.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I'm just telling you is a two ninety one hitter,
isn't he? And now and now too late? You wouldn't
do it? And he flew out to right field to
end the inning. You wouldn't do it you had a chance. Frostburg,
this loss a I can't believe. I'm gonna say this.
The Dodgers gonna lose this game because of you tonight.
I mean, you're gonna be.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
The one Dave Robins sing you. Dave Roberts are going
to talk about this after the game is over.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You know, things are going fine until you know, justin Frostbert'
sided to deny Grimace. You know, I don't know we're
going to replace some Otani bobbleheads with Grimace bobblehead.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So I don't know what he was thinking right there.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Hopefully he has an apology of some kind and gets
on board with the Grimace era.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, I think if I have.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
To, well, I mean, he'll give you a hug before
he sends you away. But you know people are already
lining up for the decoy and Otai bobblehead. So get
line now.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Now, this story.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
It's it's gone from being weird and unsure how true
it is to now it's just out now creepy. The
latest twist and turns in the Bill Belichick dating a
twenty four year old former cheerleader.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Has just gotten nuts. Today.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
The New York Post got ring doorbell footage of a
shirtless Bill Belichick what looks to be a shirtless Bill
Belichick leaving potentially Jordan Hudson's house at some point in
the last few months, where the ring doorbell has him
opening the door with no shirt on early in the morning.
(03:46):
You know the walk of shame, you know, whatever it
would be. And again I say, allegedly Bill Belichick. Allegedly
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
And now it's Bill Belichick walking around.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
With no shirt on, and it's like early in the morning.
He leaves, and I don't know where he's going outside
with no shirt on this early in the morning.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
This is this is the latest development.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Of the Bill Belichick you know, seventy two year old
man dating twenty.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Four year old Jordan Hudson.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Okay, I mean look when I first of all, when
I saw this, I'm like, okay, if you're doing the
walk of shame, if you're doing. Do you really go
outside with no shirt on? If you're if you're seventy two,
do you go with no shirt on? I mean you're
Bill Belichick. Look where you live.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Do you not see a bunch of seventy something and
octagenarians running around with shirtless.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
He just had the greatest night of his life. You're
lucky he had pants on.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
No.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
I was gonna say, why are we judging the man
for his nighttime activities and his I mean, you're walking
around without sleeves claiming you got triceps unless you're painted
them on.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I didn't see him. Some guy across the street is
watering his law seven o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Is that coach?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Oh my god, that's coach.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
No shirt off, Belichick yelling at him, get back to.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Practice, no days off, yelling at the okay, I'll go back,
and then Belichick, now he would go over and show
him actually how to mow.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Look, you're not doing it right. You're not.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
You're not getting as much torque on the on the
on the turn as you are right here. Look, you
have to go over this area another couple of times.
I could have saved you two or three walks, right
up here here, uh you know, here here here, take
my card, call me.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I can help you out with this. Uh, I mean,
I mean, it's just it's just stunning.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Like I see this story now and I feel like
it's you know, obviously being seventy two, it's not it's
not a midlife crisis. It would be a later in
life crisis where this is what like, it's he's a
it's a he's a cliche, right, Like, he's a guy
that had it all in his profession, right had everything
going his way? Now important to reports, this relationship has
been going on for a few months, but he knew
(05:43):
over the course of the last season this was gonna
be it. You know, the Jets retired him. He lost
his job. He doesn't have anything else. He went from
being a guy that the pinnacle of his profession. And
what was he doing after he was hanging out with
Pat McAfee, you know, throwing out some hot takes like
this is like, hey, I'm in I'm in a later
in life crisis right now?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Is he driving a sting right now? Like I is?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
He decided to I'm gonna go i'ma drive the coolest
car again. I'm gonna drive a fifty seven Chevy. You
I'm gonna get a sixty five bus. Stang, I'm gonna
drive one of those babies now, Like, I feel like
this is a the quintessential what's a what's a midlife
crisis type reaction to Hey, I had everything great? Now
my life is a mess. I don't know what's going on,
and and here I am. Now, okay, I'm just gonna
(06:23):
go out screw it. I'm gonna do whatever the hell
I want to do.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I'm gonna date somebody who is I'm three times as
old as she is, and I'm gonna be gonna walk
outside seven o'clock in the morning without a shirt on
because you know, I didn't know about the ring doorbell thing.
That's a bit of technology. I didn't really know. Hold
on no time, Okay, that's what it looks like. Three
times your age? Fine, what's the problem? And right, who's
(06:49):
he hurting? Why does this hurt you?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Why does scond body?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
This just clearly scarred you.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I I'm like, go live your life.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Right, You're not coaching now, You're not, as far as
I know, you're not entangled in any other thing to
where this is a illegal or or I mean, yes,
people go to the age difference. They'll go to the
signing of the homework and whatever else, and yeah, it's
a little huh interesting, But that's about as far as
(07:17):
it goes otherwise. Again, we live in southern California.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
We see this hundreds of times every day if you're
out and about in any of these beach cities. So
this is normal behavior as opposed to wow, that's really
an outlier, or that he must be going through something terrible.
What if he's just been waiting on this for a while,
when he's singled up after that long relationship and said,
(07:41):
what the hell, let's let's go.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So I felt.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
What I'm guessing here is since you're defending, you're either
dating someone who's ninety to make the or you're dating
someone who's in their early twenties. I've gotten neither of it.
I'm just I think a realist in all of this.
That is, again, as long as nobody's getting hurt the process,
who the hell care? Is good for him? If he's
happy and it's making him happy, even if it's fleeting,
(08:06):
you know.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Do you do your thing, dude, It's still come on, man,
it's weird. It's weird. It's not. It's not weird. Really,
it's not weird. It's not the.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Ring doorbell getting out. I'd like to know how that guy.
It's handed over to people and reporters. That's was the
window shut? Like good he couldn't go out the window,
out the door. The window didn't open, or so it
was painted shut. It was like Aaron Paul the first
in the First Breaking Bed when they're coming in the
house and he's throwing all this stuff out of the window,
(08:35):
pants on, and he's jumping back.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
We've all been there.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
This is this is what you did when you were
sixteen years old.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Yeah, when you were sixteen, not when you were seventy two.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I mean, come on, man, if I'm seventy two and
I got enough game and rap and and I'm not,
you know, just hold up talking to you.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Every night, I'm going outside books and high school.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
If someone will wants me to sign sign something, Ye'll
be happy.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
To Yeah, Hey, hey, where'd you meet Mike Harmon?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Well he signed my textbook on my flight, my textbook
because I'm still in school and I'm still figuring out
like people for a long long time, okay, okay, no,
is it is it illegal?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Of course not. Have we seen this before yet?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Not as often as you think it is, Like you thought,
like like you you see people every single day walk, No,
you don't. You hear about it in in celebrities sometimes
and it winds up going though, I think you need
to get out more. Here's Leonardo DiCaprio who's fifty and
he's dating someone who's twenty five. Robert de Niro, Yeah, yeah, okay,
so so because there's a handful of celebrities who do that.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Okay, great, share does it as well? Shared, we're really younger.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Walk around your neighborhood, Smith, go down by the beach.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Come on, Belichick.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Okay, okay, yes, because every time, any time I see
someone who is seventy romantic with their romantic love interest
who is twenty four. But here's the thing, like, where
are you drawing the line?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Though?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Like that, that's basically what you're doing here. Now, Now
where do you draw the line? Is fifty acceptable? Or
is that still too young? It's still weird? Fifty, it's
still weird. It's still weird.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Man, Hey, are you you tell me this? If? If when? When? When?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
If when one of your daughters is older, she's twenty
four years old, she brings home a seventy two year
old guy, what are you gonna say, Hey, look on
dating right now, I'm.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Gonna ask a bunch of questions I've yeah, okay, see,
of course you are.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I'm gonna ask the origin story. But in the end,
everybody makes their own mistakes. Everybody has to forge their
own lives. Okay, I'm not running their lives at that point. Wait,
so now could be a mistake. You just said nothing
was there was nothing up, but now it could be
a mistake.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
No, but you just said so. But I'm saying it
could be. There's a percentage chance that it's a mistake.
I'm not saying it's one hundred percent. But in the moment,
if that's how you're feeling, have ad it. Who am
I to judge?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
It's it, dude, It's it's just weird. It's just weird.
I mean, I.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Can't believe you can't even you can't even get me
that it's weird. Like you, Oh yeah, yeah, okay, there
was no when you saw the story, you just turned
the page and interesting, that's it.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Or did you go, wait, what the hell is going
on here?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Literally I read it for about eight seconds. I went, huh,
how about that? Watch the ring doorbell videos and now
takes confidence get after that again. I mean, we all
have our fashion choices, shirtless, non non shirtless, sleeves, no shirts,
and this show and this shows the progression of Belichick
when I tell you, because he went from a sweatshirt,
(11:26):
sweatshirt with no sleeves, now there's not even a shirt.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I mean, come on, and you see what's happening.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
To the guy I went to your questions, no sweatshirt
with no sleeves, no sleep shirt, now no shirt? Man,
that ain't mad? You not know we're not having a
heat wave. Have you not figured that out?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I mean, what's why he's outside with no shirt on?
It's just hot.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
It's it's hot. And he said, the hell with it,
I'm not even putting the shirt on. It's just it's
just I'm gonna walk outside with no shirt in the morning,
A guy, I go where.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I mean, where you're gonna go? What?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
What? What is it in the morning, I'm gonna get up,
go outside and not have a shirt on. So when
people see me and if someone sees me they're gonna say, hey,
there's Bill Belichick. They wouldn't just say, oh, there's Bill Belichick.
Oh that's pretty cool. IM wondering what he's here. He's hey, Beligia,
you see that.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
It's hey. I saw Bill Belichick with no shirt on Jason.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Maybe he thought that nobody would recognize him because he normally.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Wears the shirt.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Potentially no hoodie. I mean that would give you a
little bit of cover, at least for a couple of seconds.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Belichick, he's not that big.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
He didn't have a hoodie on. I didn't see it.
He's not having jacked.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
He didn't have the hoodie drawn over his face like
he did when they lost to the Jets in the
last game, when he walked off the field for the
last time.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
I don't know that Ben's Belichick.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
I didn't see the red flag in his boot.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
No shirt and the red Maybe that's how he walked out.
He's got the red flack and it's sneaker. No, that's Belichick.
I could see the red.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Flag throwing it at the neighbor across the street looking
at him.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
That's the longest toss. He's mad. There you go, oh,
but at the end you know, good for him? Good
for him? Can we all find a little bit of happiness?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Along the way, we did get someone on Twitter. Jeff
rides in. He goes, wait, the age is your this equation?
I gotta I gotta find the full text here. It's
happier age plus seven. So at the border and the
deadline for him is anybody at forty three?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Okay, so there you go forty three. Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I don't know if that's science, not forty three as
Frostburg would say, science. But if she's happy and he's happy,
can we all use a little bit of happiness?
Speaker 7 (13:40):
So you know who's not happy?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Smith?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Okay, this guy, because listen, you want to say the
word science.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I told you when you go anti Grimace, bad things
are going to happen. When anti Grimace twenty eight minutes ago,
telling you the Grimace error was over, what did I say?
I told him Otani was going to strike out looking
because he went anti Grimace. O Tani struck out looking.
I gave him a chance a few minutes ago. I said, hey,
you got a chance. You got runner at second two outs.
If you re embrace the Grimace era, good things are
(14:09):
gonna happen. Frostburg wouldn't do it. Dodgers didn't score.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
What just happened?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
The Rockies walk off with a sacrifice fly. They beat
the Dodgers seven six.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Got nothing to do with Grimace, Mike Grimace. Johann is
literally the worst.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Grimm the ex met Johann Ramirez.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
He was your best blank him.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Grimace era is real.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I don't need anything more than that, your favorite, your
favorite phrase, Frostburg is, it's science.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
This is science. Man.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You just saw what happened and you still went anti Grimace.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
There's nothing I can do anymore. We killed him off.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
You can go back. No, you can't.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
It's like a sure got that second mercy shot in.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
He was John wick ty shirt.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Killing people off on the show is like dying in
a Marvel movie. Are you're really dead? No, of course not.
You come back at some point when you want to
make more money or the you know. Kevin Fige says, help,
I really screwed up the multiverse. We need you to
come back, Robert, come on back, shake well, I want
to shake no exit out about a Fresca exit swallen

If Harmon's daughter when she's twenty four is dating refrigerator Perry,
who would be seventy two and number seventy two, that
would be okay.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
You'd be absolutely okay with that.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
You know what? After what I said on the radio,
I get I guess that's what I'm married to. The
point was I didn't care what Bill Belichick did. I
just know I don't have to worry about Bill bellichs.
If you're with Perry showing up in your house dressed
like he did when he played with a neck roll
in the Jerts, you say you have one of those

What play?
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Did Dick really call? Along that third them?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah? Have you even really uh? How have you gotten
to come to grips with the fact that you scored
a touchdown of the Super Bowl and Walter Payton got screwed.
I'll hang up and listen off the see. I thought
you would actually get him to reenact the super Bowl
shuffle and you know, do lines. That was the point.
He's got to do lines. Yeah, and he's gotta.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Right whoa whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Whoa whoa whoa from the super Bowl. You know.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I gotta tell you ty shirts.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Ty shirt has that drop at the ready, just a
little two thing like it's just a little just like
I know that you work fast, man, I get it,
and that's awesome. But wow, but it's like you have
that you're ready for any sort of drug reference, no
matter how oblique or peripheral it is.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
No, I got it right here. I got it. I mean,
that's you. You really get to that fast.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
It's just a little motivation.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I'm just I'm just saying it's fast.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Sometimes you just gotta be even quicker, Jason.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
It is fast. Hey.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
You know what's going on right now? Something really cool
in LA And it's all over social media now now

Lebron's gonna jump on stage and say, hey, we're all
getting together, the three of us. They're gonna be Lakers
again next year, and we're gonna go in the title
Like I really thought we're gonna see that at some point. Oh,
here's these guys here. We're gonna bring Russ back. We're
gonna go get Derozen. He's a big shooter, he's from
here USC. This is gonna be great. Gonna use the
concert to announce that these guys are coming to La
Oh if nothing else go and you uh, you figure
(19:02):
out behind the scenes, right, this isn't tampering. It's just friends, right,
just friends hanging out.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
But when they the next video was about eighty people
on stage and I'm sitting there trying to make out
every person so I could guess the net worth of
the people on that stage.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Oh wow, dude, and all you kidding.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Oh my billions and billions and billions. See, all I
was thinking was, man, DeMar Derozen can never go back
to Toronto again.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Man, I mean now he's.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
He's he's in the middle of the I mean, come on,
are they choosing him over Drake? He's again, they're choosing
him over Drake.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Choose him over Drake?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
He was, I mean saying in Toronto, you don't you
want Drake to go away from a lot of your
sports teams.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
That usually is the kiss of death, isn't it. But
you know, everything goes in cycles.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Eventually, you know, loving Drake is gonna be back in
vogue and it's gonna be Oh it all goes in cycles.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Yeah, and it's gonna love the Drake. I hate the Drake.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Drake, I hate the Drake.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
It's gonna have. But now, good luck going back to
I don't know if you're DeMar Derozen, it's not happening.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
He chose.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
He might watch him sit out the games next year.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Oh and DeRozan will not travel with the Bulls when
they play in Toronto. An ankle injury, a ballky ankle
has acted up. He's gonna miss the game Friday, but
we're told he should be good for the game Sunday
against the Sixers.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
But here's the greatness of it. He is an unrestricted
free agent. So now it becomes part of the math
of the recruiting. The process has begun. Now technically you
can only resign your own and we've seen a couple
of numbers already floating around. Who was at Pascal Siakam's
numbers and whatever else? But yeah, it is the silly
(20:39):
season has begun as we get ready for the draft.
I actually saw a draft preview show that came on
after the end of the Fever game today. It's like
meet the prospects, Like, go, figure, let's finally start this
process with a week to go before the draft. You know,
and you mentioned the game tonight, You mentioned the Fever
and the Mystics. Caitlin Clark with one of her best
(21:01):
games yet in the WNBA eighteen points, twelve rebound, six assists,
four steals as well.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
She shot well from the floor. The Fever now have won.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
A bunch of games since there horrendous started at one
and eight and now signing for the Mystics a couple
of times.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeah, well it helps.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
They stink. Not every team is good. No, no, not
every time. There's only one thing wrong with the mystics
on they stink. I mean, Hawkins was fantastic, Samuelson good
sixteen points otherwise much and I guess Doles who were
fourteen not a lot about a contribution from the rest
of that squad. But here's the point I want to
(21:37):
make about Caitlyn Clark tonight, the WNBA, and and that
I that I see a lot of people missing, and
it's the people that helped create the discourse about the
WNBA and Caitlin Clark and everything else. Is that And
we talked a little bit about it last night. It's
running in a promo now here, it's you know, we
put it out on social media.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
It's doing really well.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
So I'm digging that is that when I hear people
talk about the WNBA, right, when I hear whether it's
on TV or on the radio, it's either it's in
what people are in one of two camps, right, it's
either posts who want to have what is like the
definitive conversation about the WNBA, Like we're gonna have the
(22:19):
definitive conversation about this. Everybody wants to have the definitive
opinion on Caitlin Clark and the Angel Reese foul. And
they want to definitive opinion on this, like it's a
story that has a shelf life, right, Like I would
have the definitive opinion on this, like it's an Olympic event,
like you know, we get into the Olympics for a
couple of weeks, then we forget about it, like it's
(22:40):
men's or women's soccer, where we get into it during
the World Cup and big events and then it goes away.
Like you see one of two camp Either people want
to have the definitive conversation on it or the other
side is they just want to talk and get past it.
Like I don't want to talk about I don't want
to talk about this. I don't talk about the WI
It's ridiculous we're talking about this foul ridiculously doing this.
I don't want to get pass it because people don't know, right.
(23:02):
And I remember telling you in the beginning that watch
the number of people that now the WNBA is becoming
a thing with Caitlyn Clark coming in, Watch how many
people face plant trying to talk about the WNBA watch
because they're not used to it and it's.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Going to be a lot of trial and error. And
we've seen that. We've seen face planting everywhere.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
We've seen people stepping on rakes like it's like it's
a sideshow. Bob and the Simpsons in the Kate Fear episode,
I'm stepping on a rake, stepping on a rake, stepping
on a rake, stepping on a rake. They can't do it,
and it's it's everybody's missing those people. When you hear it,
just listen to those to others talk about it, and
you can hear that, Okay, yeah. They either want to
have the definitive thing like this is done, it's over,
(23:40):
moving on to something else.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Or I don't want to talk about it. Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I can't tell you what to be passionate about in sports,
because the best shows are always what you're passionate about.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
But sports talk and sports talk.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Radio and television is a read and react business, and
when something is popular, people want to hear about it.
People want to hear about the WNBA, and that's what
people are missing. The WNBA has arrived as a sport
that we talk about like we talk about baseball like
we talk about football like we talk about basketball. When
there's a big enough headline, we're talking about it. The
(24:12):
sport has arrived. It arrived in a hurry. It was
a bullet train that showed up with Caitlyn Clark walking off,
waving to everybody, and then everybody else is getting off
the train too, and look at all these other stars here,
and everybody cares and everybody's fired up about it. The
w has arrived. It's it's it's an everyday topic. And
just to go back to the Caitlin Clark Angel Rees
(24:33):
play from Saturday that people are still talking about. Oh,
it's a play that's in the the the we see
all the time in basket. We don't need to talk
about this, sorry, but that's a big play. When a
big play happens and stars are involved in it, we
talk about it. If Draymond Green u flagrantly fouls Lebron
like that, when you talk about players who are who
(24:54):
are you know, of the same kind of caliber and popularity.
If Draymond Green cloppered Lebron in the head like that,
we talk.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
About that foul for three days.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yet, because it's the WNBA, you hear a lot of well,
we shouldn't be had, why are we even talking about?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
No? I'm sorry. People like talking about it. People want
to hear about it. It's a thing now. And the
more people and experts and people on TV and radio
understand that this is part of the everyday conversation, the
better the conversation is going to be. And it's not
going to be about race all the time, and it's
not going to be about sexuality, and it's not going
to be about jealousy. It's gonna be about, hey, this
(25:31):
happened in a game, and we talk about it, just
like we do in the NFL, major League Baseball, the NBA,
everything else. That's the big message that that I think
as soon as we get that, I mean I get it,
you get it, we get it. But as soon as
a lot of other people get it that that national
host like us and understand the discourse, it goes from
coast to coast that this is a thing now, that
(25:53):
the WNBA has become a topic that we talk about
when there is news, right, we don't just talk about
it tough when there is new when something happens, we
talk about it when a player says something. When a
player does something and it's a star and it's Caitlyn Clark,
or it's Angel Reese, or it's Asia Wilson, or it's
Cameron Brittan, you know, getting hurt.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Last night.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
We talked about it a huge deal and prayers up
to her. Hopefully she can come back sooner. She's devastated
she can't play in the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
It's now.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
It happened fast, and I know that there's the perception
that it happened when no one was looking, because no
one thought it was gonna be that big a deal.
But all you had to do is read the te
lees and go, boy, people really care about Caitlin Clark
playing college basketball. People are gonna stop caring about it now.
That's how it works. Oh that was great, but no
people care about you more when you go from playing
in college to playing in the pros. And and once
(26:42):
that starts to hit, and I think it will, it
will hit over the course of the next couple of months.
We're gonna get into the Olympics and it's gonna be
us against the rest of the world. And then I
think the discourse is gonna kind of settle a little bit.
It's gonna be just like it is.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Every night.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
You will hear promos about people talking about the WNBA
on Fox Sports Radio, on on on Fox Sports One,
on first Take, wherever it is, and it's going to
just be accepted.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
We're gonna get there.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
I thought we'd get there a little bit quicker, but
it's gonna take a little bit more time. But I
think it is going to settle, and then the conversation
is going to be on a.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Little bit better, a little bit higher level.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
At the risk of going oh prefatorial, you know, as
we're talking about this and you know, bringing out the
hey take notes, there will be a test. I mean
there's gestation periods for all of it. And for twenty
five years the league's operated. Yes, the mathematics have been bad,
the the dollars and you know, arenas and everything. We
talk about how much of a bubble. You know, this
(27:39):
is in a short time, and certainly some folks gravitated
to it. Look, it's just basketball and now it's women
instead of men. Okay, next, okay, cool? The Angel Rees
Caitlin Clark play right Sunday Morning Basketball. As you get
your day underway, on Father's Day and that fall happens.
If it's between two people that don't have a history,
(28:03):
then yes, it is just a flagrant file. However, if
you are Draymond Green and a lot of your value
has been your volte volatility, your emotion and what you
bring positively the warriors on that side and on the
other side, he's the guy you love to hate. Yes,
it's going to be talked about with Angel Reese. She
(28:25):
is embraced, at least outwardly, the being the villain to
Caitlin Clark's hero for many or however you want to
put them, whichever side you're on, I don't care. It's
a story, right going.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
To a couple of years of college ball and coming
into the WNBA and a lot of the stuff that's
been propped up, manufactured for Hot Takeery and Hot Take Theater.
They're the main contributors the Tony Awards. You could have
given him a special award for what we've had the
first two months and what it's meant to the coverage
(28:57):
of this league.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Like the Tiger Woods lifetime exemption.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
You're going to give you a special reception, Tiger, you
have a special award right here. Like these guys are
Wan Groff and Radcliffe. Primarily we roll along. We want
to give a special shout out tonight for Angel Reese
and to Caitlin Clark for the drama and the story
that is bubbling up for the WNBA because people care,
the rights are going up, all of the different things
that we've talked about, ad nausea and look, if you're
(29:22):
a show that wants to just dismiss.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
It, you can do that. You can play that character too.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Guess what you're still talking about the WNBA by saying
I don't want to talk about it in the end,
with every conversation you have on radio, on sports television,
or in the back room where you're having a coffee
break in the middle of your morning or going for
a snack or where the lunch room is, if you're
(29:46):
talking about it, it means you give a damn And
that's what it's all about. Do I love you?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Do I hate you?
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Because if I'm indifferent, guess what you and I aren't
talking about it. And no amount of producers, writers and
people that gang up on you when you walk in
into the office sing this is really important. You're gonna
tell them my name's on the show Kiss my star Spangled,
silver studded blank.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
That's it. If you're talking about it, then you acknowledge
there's a business aspect of it that you cannot ignore.
Conversation is gonna settle at some point, but just people
just have to realize it's here. Now, it's here, and
it's awesome. It's not going anywhere, and it's just great
for everybody. That was pretty good with no notes, right,
I mean that was pretty good, good stuff with no notes.
(30:29):
Now I do say because now you know the next man,
I'm not wearing a shirt, just like Bill Dollge seven
o'clock at night showing my genius not wearing a shirt.
But the WNBA is a bit of a sore topic
for the next person we're gonna introduce here Monty Bolangios,
because she came to me before the season and said, Jason,
take all your money, take it to Vegas Mystics and
(30:52):
the Wings in the WNBA finals.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
And I said, all, Monzy, come on, I don't know
about that. No to trust me.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Mystics will be at the top of the East, Wings
at the top of the West, and.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
There's a little bit of work to be done. For
that to happen.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
So I'm hoping that it wasn't it too much money
that Moncy Bolanos lost on that. Well, we're gonna find
out now The Jason Smith Show is My best friend
Mike Harmon live from the Tirak dot com studios.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Coming up next, there is.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
A lot of big talk going on about one NBA
draft prospect and hopeful why it's gotten completely out of control.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Straight ahead, Jason and Mike, This is Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
The Jason Smith Show with My best Friend Mike Harmon
Live froth Tirerack dot com Studios. Where now that the
NBA Finals are over, last hour, Mike and I told
you who we expect to see next season's NBA Finals.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
We'll have that again next hour.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Laker oh getness. But speaking of the Lakers, now, we're
getting said for free agency in the NBA Draft, and
there is one name that's going to dominate conversation between
now and the draft, and that's Bronnie James. Because of
the drama of Bronni being Lebron's kid, and are they
gonna play together? And does that mean if one team
(32:14):
drafts Bronni that Lebron's gonna go there.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
It's gonna be endless speculation.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
And today Rich Paul clutch Sports, who's Lebron's agent and
Bronnie's agent, had a bit of a I don't know.
He held court with ESPN about his strategy about how
he's positioning Bronni for the NBA Draft. Specifically, he is
not having Bronnie work out with a lot of teams.
He's only worked out so far for the Suns and
the Lakers, and he's only gonna work out for teams
(32:42):
that are going to not give him a two way deal. Right,
that doesn't happen. That's not gonna be something that my
client's interested in. And he pointed to the fact that
a lot of other players I've had, I've gotten them
one way deals before in the past, and he's pointed
out to three or four players drafted later. Players don't
get you to Normally, players get two way deps at
that point they can play, you know, in the NBA
(33:02):
or below in the G league, but one way do
just what everybody wants. So He pointed to that success. Hey,
I've done it before for players. I can do it
for Bronnie. And so is a lot of big talk
by Rich Paul now over, Hey, yeah, Bronny's gonna do this.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
He's not gonna do this.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
And it's like, okay, dude, he's you know, he's not
even one of the top prospects on the board. But
why is Rich Paul doing this? He's doing this because
he knows the outcome. He knows what's going to happen, right,
he knows. You know, this is the Bill Maher. I
don't know it for a fact. I just know that
it's true. He wouldn't be doing this unless he knows
(33:38):
that when the Lakers come up, they're gonna pick him. Right,
He would not do this unless he knew the Lakers
would take him. And in a draft where there's not
a lot of great prospects in there, there's not any
guys you must have. Hey could now Bronnie wind up?
Get yeah, you could. You could see it being pushed.
He's now become a bit of a commodity. And he
wouldn't do this unless he knows one of those teams,
(34:00):
especially the Lakers, is going to draft Bronni, right, Like
we we talked to Rick Buker last week and he said, Hey,
the one thing you want to do if you're the
Lakers and you want to interview guys, you don't want
to let Matt Ishbia know because Matti Shper's gonna jump
in and want to interview that guy, right, Like you
didn't want to, Like he didn't want anybody else to know.
They were talking to Danny Hurley like the Sons are
a team that could say, screw it, we'll go out
and we'll take Bronnie and wind up and maybe we
(34:23):
get lebron as a result.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
But who knows, because the draft is not great.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Rich Paul wouldn't be doing this unless he knew, Hey,
he's gonna be on no matter what, He's gonna be
on one of these teams worst case scenario, because the
stuff he can't control is if what if another team
really likes him and wants him and drafts him at
twelve or fourteen?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Hey, great, right that that's a win. That's a win.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
But the one thing he knows is that if it
gets down to it and the you know, the people
they passing him throughout the first fifteen picks, whatever it is.
He knows either the Suns or the Lakers are going
to draft him, so he doesn't need to do the workouts,
says he need to do anything else because these would
be two of his preferred destinations, Los Angeles or Phoenix.
If somebody else takes some drafts from earlier, great, that's
a happy accident and it's fantastic. But he knows that
(35:05):
this is He wouldn't be talking like this if he
wasn't sure this is how it's going to turn out
for Brownie. Well, you know, you're one of the invisible
hands in the game. You've done it locally and globally
for many, many a year now. As Rich Paul and
Clutch Sports. As to how they've been at the forefront
of free agency movement and aligning things right, he cites
(35:27):
past clients. He also in his Combat world Wide West
was something watch what I do with Bronnie James. No,
but that's it, just Hey, I'm gonna take this next level. Hell,
they carved out a whole second night at the draft
for Bronnie James. I mean, gone, that's kind of a
big deal. So you got that going for it. But yeah,
obviously you get drafted in the first round, guaranteed contract,
the two way thing goes out of play, blah blah blah.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
But you know, he spoke specifically to Dallas and Toronto
as potential options of you know, hey, they know Brownie
and the fan really well, they have a history whatever else,
so kind of saying, well, even if they don't work out,
you know, there's there's ways that this could you know,
mutate a little bit and have other teams come to
(36:12):
the party. But again he was speaking to that as, hey,
if they want to do that at the end of
the first round, while waving at them from behind a microphone,
then perhaps you add that.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
But yeah, it's it's a rig game. He knows he's
got at worst, the Lakers and the Suns will will
grab him. At best. You know, there's a couple others
that decide that the reach and the boost that they
get is worth it.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen Dome.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
We have more on the Lebron James angle on that's
coming up where you think we're gonna zig and we're
gonna zag.

gotta listen to the whole show just minutes ago to
Grimace is here for everybody.

That's funny because Paya has just hit a double.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah that's nice, So it's nice. That's nice. It's two outs.
It's still a six to six game.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I told your Tani was going to strike out looking
because you turned your back on Grimace, and Otani struck
out looking.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
What else do you want?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
That's just because you hate Otani?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Dude. That's just science, man, that's just science.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Do you still have to apologize to yet?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
We have to apologize to a Tani for.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Seriously?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Oh? Hey, okay, sh hey, sorry you hired e bay
to be your translator? Good?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
This is good, solid start.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Okay, that's not a bad that's that's bad. You know
that's not a not a bad run there, just saying
bad job by you while getting the word sorry, and
that was well done. Uh again, you go anti Grimace
at your own at your own risk.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
How I know he lives on. How if Miguel Roass
gets a hit?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Okay, there's something to that.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
She gets a hit it I think I could be back.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
All right, we'll see see now here's where he's going now.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Okay, So now if you say something nice about Grimace,
if you say you want to get back on I said,
Grimace is for everybody.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Miguel Rojas will get a hit for you. Here and
the Dodger will go ahead.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Now we're just wishing for miracles.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I'm just telling you is a two ninety one hitter,
isn't he? And now and now too late? You wouldn't
do it? And he flew out to right field to
end the inning. You wouldn't do it you had a chance. Frostburg,
this loss a I can't believe. I'm gonna say this.
The Dodgers gonna lose this game because of you tonight.
I mean, you're gonna be.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
The one Dave Robins sing you. Dave Roberts are going
to talk about this after the game is over.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You know, things are going fine until you know, justin Frostbert'
sided to deny Grimace. You know, I don't know we're
going to replace some Otani bobbleheads with Grimace bobblehead.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So I don't know what he was thinking right there.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Hopefully he has an apology of some kind and gets
on board with the Grimace era.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, I think if I have.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
To, well, I mean, he'll give you a hug before
he sends you away. But you know people are already
lining up for the decoy and Otai bobblehead. So get
line now.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Now, this story.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
It's it's gone from being weird and unsure how true
it is to now it's just out now creepy. The
latest twist and turns in the Bill Belichick dating a
twenty four year old former cheerleader.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Has just gotten nuts. Today.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
The New York Post got ring doorbell footage of a
shirtless Bill Belichick what looks to be a shirtless Bill
Belichick leaving potentially Jordan Hudson's house at some point in
the last few months, where the ring doorbell has him
opening the door with no shirt on early in the morning.
(03:46):
You know the walk of shame, you know, whatever it
would be. And again I say, allegedly Bill Belichick. Allegedly
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
And now it's Bill Belichick walking around.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
With no shirt on, and it's like early in the morning.
He leaves, and I don't know where he's going outside
with no shirt on this early in the morning.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
This is this is the latest development.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Of the Bill Belichick you know, seventy two year old
man dating twenty.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Four year old Jordan Hudson.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Okay, I mean look when I first of all, when
I saw this, I'm like, okay, if you're doing the
walk of shame, if you're doing. Do you really go
outside with no shirt on? If you're if you're seventy two,
do you go with no shirt on? I mean you're
Bill Belichick. Look where you live.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Do you not see a bunch of seventy something and
octagenarians running around with shirtless.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
He just had the greatest night of his life. You're
lucky he had pants on.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
No.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
I was gonna say, why are we judging the man
for his nighttime activities and his I mean, you're walking
around without sleeves claiming you got triceps unless you're painted
them on.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I didn't see him. Some guy across the street is
watering his law seven o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Is that coach?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Oh my god, that's coach.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
No shirt off, Belichick yelling at him, get back to.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Practice, no days off, yelling at the okay, I'll go back,
and then Belichick, now he would go over and show
him actually how to mow.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Look, you're not doing it right. You're not.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
You're not getting as much torque on the on the
on the turn as you are right here. Look, you
have to go over this area another couple of times.
I could have saved you two or three walks, right
up here here, uh you know, here here here, take
my card, call me.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I can help you out with this. Uh, I mean,
I mean, it's just it's just stunning.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Like I see this story now and I feel like
it's you know, obviously being seventy two, it's not it's
not a midlife crisis. It would be a later in
life crisis where this is what like, it's he's a
it's a he's a cliche, right, Like, he's a guy
that had it all in his profession, right had everything
going his way? Now important to reports, this relationship has
been going on for a few months, but he knew
(05:43):
over the course of the last season this was gonna
be it. You know, the Jets retired him. He lost
his job. He doesn't have anything else. He went from
being a guy that the pinnacle of his profession. And
what was he doing after he was hanging out with
Pat McAfee, you know, throwing out some hot takes like
this is like, hey, I'm in I'm in a later
in life crisis right now?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Is he driving a sting right now? Like I is?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
He decided to I'm gonna go i'ma drive the coolest
car again. I'm gonna drive a fifty seven Chevy. You
I'm gonna get a sixty five bus. Stang, I'm gonna
drive one of those babies now, Like, I feel like
this is a the quintessential what's a what's a midlife
crisis type reaction to Hey, I had everything great? Now
my life is a mess. I don't know what's going on,
and and here I am. Now, okay, I'm just gonna
(06:23):
go out screw it. I'm gonna do whatever the hell
I want to do.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I'm gonna date somebody who is I'm three times as
old as she is, and I'm gonna be gonna walk
outside seven o'clock in the morning without a shirt on
because you know, I didn't know about the ring doorbell thing.
That's a bit of technology. I didn't really know. Hold
on no time, Okay, that's what it looks like. Three
times your age? Fine, what's the problem? And right, who's
(06:49):
he hurting? Why does this hurt you?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Why does scond body?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
This just clearly scarred you.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I I'm like, go live your life.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Right, You're not coaching now, You're not, as far as
I know, you're not entangled in any other thing to
where this is a illegal or or I mean, yes,
people go to the age difference. They'll go to the
signing of the homework and whatever else, and yeah, it's
a little huh interesting, But that's about as far as
(07:17):
it goes otherwise. Again, we live in southern California.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
We see this hundreds of times every day if you're
out and about in any of these beach cities. So
this is normal behavior as opposed to wow, that's really
an outlier, or that he must be going through something terrible.
What if he's just been waiting on this for a while,
when he's singled up after that long relationship and said,
(07:41):
what the hell, let's let's go.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So I felt.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
What I'm guessing here is since you're defending, you're either
dating someone who's ninety to make the or you're dating
someone who's in their early twenties. I've gotten neither of it.
I'm just I think a realist in all of this.
That is, again, as long as nobody's getting hurt the process,
who the hell care? Is good for him? If he's
happy and it's making him happy, even if it's fleeting,
(08:06):
you know.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Do you do your thing, dude, It's still come on, man,
it's weird. It's weird. It's not. It's not weird. Really,
it's not weird. It's not the.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Ring doorbell getting out. I'd like to know how that guy.
It's handed over to people and reporters. That's was the
window shut? Like good he couldn't go out the window,
out the door. The window didn't open, or so it
was painted shut. It was like Aaron Paul the first
in the First Breaking Bed when they're coming in the
house and he's throwing all this stuff out of the window,
(08:35):
pants on, and he's jumping back.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
We've all been there.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
This is this is what you did when you were
sixteen years old.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Yeah, when you were sixteen, not when you were seventy two.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I mean, come on, man, if I'm seventy two and
I got enough game and rap and and I'm not,
you know, just hold up talking to you.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Every night, I'm going outside books and high school.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
If someone will wants me to sign sign something, Ye'll
be happy.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
To Yeah, Hey, hey, where'd you meet Mike Harmon?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Well he signed my textbook on my flight, my textbook
because I'm still in school and I'm still figuring out
like people for a long long time, okay, okay, no,
is it is it illegal?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Of course not. Have we seen this before yet?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Not as often as you think it is, Like you thought,
like like you you see people every single day walk, No,
you don't. You hear about it in in celebrities sometimes
and it winds up going though, I think you need
to get out more. Here's Leonardo DiCaprio who's fifty and
he's dating someone who's twenty five. Robert de Niro, Yeah, yeah, okay,
so so because there's a handful of celebrities who do that.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Okay, great, share does it as well? Shared, we're really younger.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Walk around your neighborhood, Smith, go down by the beach.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Come on, Belichick.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Okay, okay, yes, because every time, any time I see
someone who is seventy romantic with their romantic love interest
who is twenty four. But here's the thing, like, where
are you drawing the line?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Though?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Like that, that's basically what you're doing here. Now, Now
where do you draw the line? Is fifty acceptable? Or
is that still too young? It's still weird? Fifty, it's
still weird. It's still weird.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Man, Hey, are you you tell me this? If? If when? When? When?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
If when one of your daughters is older, she's twenty
four years old, she brings home a seventy two year
old guy, what are you gonna say, Hey, look on
dating right now, I'm.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Gonna ask a bunch of questions I've yeah, okay, see,
of course you are.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I'm gonna ask the origin story. But in the end,
everybody makes their own mistakes. Everybody has to forge their
own lives. Okay, I'm not running their lives at that point. Wait,
so now could be a mistake. You just said nothing
was there was nothing up, but now it could be
a mistake.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
No, but you just said so. But I'm saying it
could be. There's a percentage chance that it's a mistake.
I'm not saying it's one hundred percent. But in the moment,
if that's how you're feeling, have ad it. Who am
I to judge?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
It's it, dude, It's it's just weird. It's just weird.
I mean, I.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Can't believe you can't even you can't even get me
that it's weird. Like you, Oh yeah, yeah, okay, there
was no when you saw the story, you just turned
the page and interesting, that's it.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Or did you go, wait, what the hell is going
on here?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Literally I read it for about eight seconds. I went, huh,
how about that? Watch the ring doorbell videos and now
takes confidence get after that again. I mean, we all
have our fashion choices, shirtless, non non shirtless, sleeves, no shirts,
and this show and this shows the progression of Belichick
when I tell you, because he went from a sweatshirt,
(11:26):
sweatshirt with no sleeves, now there's not even a shirt.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I mean, come on, and you see what's happening.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
To the guy I went to your questions, no sweatshirt
with no sleeves, no sleep shirt, now no shirt? Man,
that ain't mad? You not know we're not having a
heat wave. Have you not figured that out?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I mean, what's why he's outside with no shirt on?
It's just hot.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
It's it's hot. And he said, the hell with it,
I'm not even putting the shirt on. It's just it's
just I'm gonna walk outside with no shirt in the morning,
A guy, I go where.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I mean, where you're gonna go? What?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
What? What is it in the morning, I'm gonna get up,
go outside and not have a shirt on. So when
people see me and if someone sees me they're gonna say, hey,
there's Bill Belichick. They wouldn't just say, oh, there's Bill Belichick.
Oh that's pretty cool. IM wondering what he's here. He's hey, Beligia,
you see that.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
It's hey. I saw Bill Belichick with no shirt on Jason.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Maybe he thought that nobody would recognize him because he normally.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Wears the shirt.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Potentially no hoodie. I mean that would give you a
little bit of cover, at least for a couple of seconds.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Belichick, he's not that big.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
He didn't have a hoodie on. I didn't see it.
He's not having jacked.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
He didn't have the hoodie drawn over his face like
he did when they lost to the Jets in the
last game, when he walked off the field for the
last time.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
I don't know that Ben's Belichick.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
I didn't see the red flag in his boot.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
No shirt and the red Maybe that's how he walked out.
He's got the red flack and it's sneaker. No, that's Belichick.
I could see the red.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Flag throwing it at the neighbor across the street looking
at him.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
That's the longest toss. He's mad. There you go, oh,
but at the end you know, good for him? Good
for him? Can we all find a little bit of happiness?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Along the way, we did get someone on Twitter. Jeff
rides in. He goes, wait, the age is your this equation?
I gotta I gotta find the full text here. It's
happier age plus seven. So at the border and the
deadline for him is anybody at forty three?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Okay, so there you go forty three. Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I don't know if that's science, not forty three as
Frostburg would say, science. But if she's happy and he's happy,
can we all use a little bit of happiness?
Speaker 7 (13:40):
So you know who's not happy?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Smith?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Okay, this guy, because listen, you want to say the
word science.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I told you when you go anti Grimace, bad things
are going to happen. When anti Grimace twenty eight minutes ago,
telling you the Grimace error was over, what did I say?
I told him Otani was going to strike out looking
because he went anti Grimace. O Tani struck out looking.
I gave him a chance a few minutes ago. I said, hey,
you got a chance. You got runner at second two outs.
If you re embrace the Grimace era, good things are
(14:09):
gonna happen. Frostburg wouldn't do it. Dodgers didn't score.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
What just happened?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
The Rockies walk off with a sacrifice fly. They beat
the Dodgers seven six.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Got nothing to do with Grimace, Mike Grimace. Johann is
literally the worst.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Grimm the ex met Johann Ramirez.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
He was your best blank him.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Grimace era is real.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I don't need anything more than that, your favorite, your
favorite phrase, Frostburg is, it's science.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
This is science. Man.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You just saw what happened and you still went anti Grimace.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
There's nothing I can do anymore. We killed him off.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
You can go back. No, you can't.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
It's like a sure got that second mercy shot in.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
He was John wick ty shirt.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Killing people off on the show is like dying in
a Marvel movie. Are you're really dead? No, of course not.
You come back at some point when you want to
make more money or the you know. Kevin Fige says, help,
I really screwed up the multiverse. We need you to
come back, Robert, come on back, shake well, I want
to shake no exit out about a Fresca exit swallen

Speaker 1 (16:24):
If Harmon's daughter when she's twenty four is dating refrigerator Perry,
who would be seventy two and number seventy two, that
would be okay.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
You'd be absolutely okay with that.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
You know what? After what I said on the radio,
I get I guess that's what I'm married to. The
point was I didn't care what Bill Belichick did. I
just know I don't have to worry about Bill bellichs.
If you're with Perry showing up in your house dressed
like he did when he played with a neck roll
in the Jerts, you say you have one of those
chaunty little hats onto.

Invite me in? All right, great, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Can you run a few lines of the Super Bowl Shuffle?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
What play?
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Did Dick really call? Along that third them?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah? Have you even really uh? How have you gotten
to come to grips with the fact that you scored
a touchdown of the Super Bowl and Walter Payton got screwed.
I'll hang up and listen off the see. I thought
you would actually get him to reenact the super Bowl
shuffle and you know, do lines. That was the point.
He's got to do lines. Yeah, and he's gotta.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Right whoa whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Whoa whoa whoa from the super Bowl. You know.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I gotta tell you ty shirts.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Ty shirt has that drop at the ready, just a
little two thing like it's just a little just like
I know that you work fast, man, I get it,
and that's awesome. But wow, but it's like you have
that you're ready for any sort of drug reference, no
matter how oblique or peripheral it is.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
No, I got it right here. I got it. I mean,
that's you. You really get to that fast.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
It's just a little motivation.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I'm just I'm just saying it's fast.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Sometimes you just gotta be even quicker, Jason.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
It is fast. Hey.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
You know what's going on right now? Something really cool
in LA And it's all over social media now now
and then a lot of athletes are there the pop
out concert that's going on here in LA for June teenth.
Kendrick lamar Uh putting on this concert with with such
a huge, heavy, all stars studded lineup. Uh, it's you know,
all of a sudden seeing some of the highlights from it,
(18:27):
it's terrific.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Lebron is there and.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
You just saw on stage Russell Westbrook and Damar DeRozan. Yeah,
like we're out on stage. I'm like, oh my god, Okay,
here it is.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Lebron's gonna jump on stage and say, hey, we're all
getting together, the three of us. They're gonna be Lakers
again next year, and we're gonna go in the title
Like I really thought we're gonna see that at some point. Oh,
here's these guys here. We're gonna bring Russ back. We're
gonna go get Derozen. He's a big shooter, he's from
here USC. This is gonna be great. Gonna use the
concert to announce that these guys are coming to La
Oh if nothing else go and you uh, you figure
(19:02):
out behind the scenes, right, this isn't tampering. It's just friends, right,
just friends hanging out.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
But when they the next video was about eighty people
on stage and I'm sitting there trying to make out
every person so I could guess the net worth of
the people on that stage.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Oh wow, dude, and all you kidding.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Oh my billions and billions and billions. See, all I
was thinking was, man, DeMar Derozen can never go back
to Toronto again.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Man, I mean now he's.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
He's he's in the middle of the I mean, come on,
are they choosing him over Drake? He's again, they're choosing
him over Drake.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Choose him over Drake?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
He was, I mean saying in Toronto, you don't you
want Drake to go away from a lot of your
sports teams.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
That usually is the kiss of death, isn't it. But
you know, everything goes in cycles.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Eventually, you know, loving Drake is gonna be back in
vogue and it's gonna be Oh it all goes in cycles.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Yeah, and it's gonna love the Drake. I hate the Drake.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Drake, I hate the Drake.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
It's gonna have. But now, good luck going back to
I don't know if you're DeMar Derozen, it's not happening.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
He chose.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
He might watch him sit out the games next year.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Oh and DeRozan will not travel with the Bulls when
they play in Toronto. An ankle injury, a ballky ankle
has acted up. He's gonna miss the game Friday, but
we're told he should be good for the game Sunday
against the Sixers.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
But here's the greatness of it. He is an unrestricted
free agent. So now it becomes part of the math
of the recruiting. The process has begun. Now technically you
can only resign your own and we've seen a couple
of numbers already floating around. Who was at Pascal Siakam's
numbers and whatever else? But yeah, it is the silly
(20:39):
season has begun as we get ready for the draft.
I actually saw a draft preview show that came on
after the end of the Fever game today. It's like
meet the prospects, Like, go, figure, let's finally start this
process with a week to go before the draft. You know,
and you mentioned the game tonight, You mentioned the Fever
and the Mystics. Caitlin Clark with one of her best
(21:01):
games yet in the WNBA eighteen points, twelve rebound, six assists,
four steals as well.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
She shot well from the floor. The Fever now have won.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
A bunch of games since there horrendous started at one
and eight and now signing for the Mystics a couple
of times.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeah, well it helps.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
They stink. Not every team is good. No, no, not
every time. There's only one thing wrong with the mystics
on they stink. I mean, Hawkins was fantastic, Samuelson good
sixteen points otherwise much and I guess Doles who were
fourteen not a lot about a contribution from the rest
of that squad. But here's the point I want to
(21:37):
make about Caitlyn Clark tonight, the WNBA, and and that
I that I see a lot of people missing, and
it's the people that helped create the discourse about the
WNBA and Caitlin Clark and everything else. Is that And
we talked a little bit about it last night. It's
running in a promo now here, it's you know, we
put it out on social media.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
It's doing really well.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
So I'm digging that is that when I hear people
talk about the WNBA, right, when I hear whether it's
on TV or on the radio, it's either it's in
what people are in one of two camps, right, it's
either posts who want to have what is like the
definitive conversation about the WNBA, Like we're gonna have the
(22:19):
definitive conversation about this. Everybody wants to have the definitive
opinion on Caitlin Clark and the Angel Reese foul. And
they want to definitive opinion on this, like it's a
story that has a shelf life, right, Like I would
have the definitive opinion on this, like it's an Olympic event,
like you know, we get into the Olympics for a
couple of weeks, then we forget about it, like it's
(22:40):
men's or women's soccer, where we get into it during
the World Cup and big events and then it goes away.
Like you see one of two camp Either people want
to have the definitive conversation on it or the other
side is they just want to talk and get past it.
Like I don't want to talk about I don't want
to talk about this. I don't talk about the WI
It's ridiculous we're talking about this foul ridiculously doing this.
I don't want to get pass it because people don't know, right.
(23:02):
And I remember telling you in the beginning that watch
the number of people that now the WNBA is becoming
a thing with Caitlyn Clark coming in, Watch how many
people face plant trying to talk about the WNBA watch
because they're not used to it and it's.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Going to be a lot of trial and error. And
we've seen that. We've seen face planting everywhere.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
We've seen people stepping on rakes like it's like it's
a sideshow. Bob and the Simpsons in the Kate Fear episode,
I'm stepping on a rake, stepping on a rake, stepping
on a rake, stepping on a rake. They can't do it,
and it's it's everybody's missing those people. When you hear it,
just listen to those to others talk about it, and
you can hear that, Okay, yeah. They either want to
have the definitive thing like this is done, it's over,
(23:40):
moving on to something else.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Or I don't want to talk about it. Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I can't tell you what to be passionate about in sports,
because the best shows are always what you're passionate about.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
But sports talk and sports talk.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Radio and television is a read and react business, and
when something is popular, people want to hear about it.
People want to hear about the WNBA, and that's what
people are missing. The WNBA has arrived as a sport
that we talk about like we talk about baseball like
we talk about football like we talk about basketball. When
there's a big enough headline, we're talking about it. The
(24:12):
sport has arrived. It arrived in a hurry. It was
a bullet train that showed up with Caitlyn Clark walking off,
waving to everybody, and then everybody else is getting off
the train too, and look at all these other stars here,
and everybody cares and everybody's fired up about it. The
w has arrived. It's it's it's an everyday topic. And
just to go back to the Caitlin Clark Angel Rees
(24:33):
play from Saturday that people are still talking about. Oh,
it's a play that's in the the the we see
all the time in basket. We don't need to talk
about this, sorry, but that's a big play. When a
big play happens and stars are involved in it, we
talk about it. If Draymond Green u flagrantly fouls Lebron
like that, when you talk about players who are who
(24:54):
are you know, of the same kind of caliber and popularity.
If Draymond Green cloppered Lebron in the head like that,
we talk.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
About that foul for three days.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yet, because it's the WNBA, you hear a lot of well,
we shouldn't be had, why are we even talking about?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
No? I'm sorry. People like talking about it. People want
to hear about it. It's a thing now. And the
more people and experts and people on TV and radio
understand that this is part of the everyday conversation, the
better the conversation is going to be. And it's not
going to be about race all the time, and it's
not going to be about sexuality, and it's not going
to be about jealousy. It's gonna be about, hey, this
(25:31):
happened in a game, and we talk about it, just
like we do in the NFL, major League Baseball, the NBA,
everything else. That's the big message that that I think
as soon as we get that, I mean I get it,
you get it, we get it. But as soon as
a lot of other people get it that that national
host like us and understand the discourse, it goes from
coast to coast that this is a thing now, that
(25:53):
the WNBA has become a topic that we talk about
when there is news, right, we don't just talk about
it tough when there is new when something happens, we
talk about it when a player says something. When a
player does something and it's a star and it's Caitlyn Clark,
or it's Angel Reese, or it's Asia Wilson, or it's
Cameron Brittan, you know, getting hurt.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Last night.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
We talked about it a huge deal and prayers up
to her. Hopefully she can come back sooner. She's devastated
she can't play in the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
It's now.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
It happened fast, and I know that there's the perception
that it happened when no one was looking, because no
one thought it was gonna be that big a deal.
But all you had to do is read the te
lees and go, boy, people really care about Caitlin Clark
playing college basketball. People are gonna stop caring about it now.
That's how it works. Oh that was great, but no
people care about you more when you go from playing
in college to playing in the pros. And and once
(26:42):
that starts to hit, and I think it will, it
will hit over the course of the next couple of months.
We're gonna get into the Olympics and it's gonna be
us against the rest of the world. And then I
think the discourse is gonna kind of settle a little bit.
It's gonna be just like it is.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Every night.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
You will hear promos about people talking about the WNBA
on Fox Sports Radio, on on on Fox Sports One,
on first Take, wherever it is, and it's going to
just be accepted.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
We're gonna get there.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
I thought we'd get there a little bit quicker, but
it's gonna take a little bit more time. But I
think it is going to settle, and then the conversation
is going to be on a.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Little bit better, a little bit higher level.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
At the risk of going oh prefatorial, you know, as
we're talking about this and you know, bringing out the
hey take notes, there will be a test. I mean
there's gestation periods for all of it. And for twenty
five years the league's operated. Yes, the mathematics have been bad,
the the dollars and you know, arenas and everything. We
talk about how much of a bubble. You know, this
(27:39):
is in a short time, and certainly some folks gravitated
to it. Look, it's just basketball and now it's women
instead of men. Okay, next, okay, cool? The Angel Rees
Caitlin Clark play right Sunday Morning Basketball. As you get
your day underway, on Father's Day and that fall happens.
If it's between two people that don't have a history,
(28:03):
then yes, it is just a flagrant file. However, if
you are Draymond Green and a lot of your value
has been your volte volatility, your emotion and what you
bring positively the warriors on that side and on the
other side, he's the guy you love to hate. Yes,
it's going to be talked about with Angel Reese. She
(28:25):
is embraced, at least outwardly, the being the villain to
Caitlin Clark's hero for many or however you want to
put them, whichever side you're on, I don't care. It's
a story, right going.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
To a couple of years of college ball and coming
into the WNBA and a lot of the stuff that's
been propped up, manufactured for Hot Takeery and Hot Take Theater.
They're the main contributors the Tony Awards. You could have
given him a special award for what we've had the
first two months and what it's meant to the coverage
(28:57):
of this league.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Like the Tiger Woods lifetime exemption.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
You're going to give you a special reception, Tiger, you
have a special award right here. Like these guys are
Wan Groff and Radcliffe. Primarily we roll along. We want
to give a special shout out tonight for Angel Reese
and to Caitlin Clark for the drama and the story
that is bubbling up for the WNBA because people care,
the rights are going up, all of the different things
that we've talked about, ad nausea and look, if you're
(29:22):
a show that wants to just dismiss.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
It, you can do that. You can play that character too.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Guess what you're still talking about the WNBA by saying
I don't want to talk about it in the end,
with every conversation you have on radio, on sports television,
or in the back room where you're having a coffee
break in the middle of your morning or going for
a snack or where the lunch room is, if you're
(29:46):
talking about it, it means you give a damn And
that's what it's all about. Do I love you?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Do I hate you?
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Because if I'm indifferent, guess what you and I aren't
talking about it. And no amount of producers, writers and
people that gang up on you when you walk in
into the office sing this is really important. You're gonna
tell them my name's on the show Kiss my star Spangled,
silver studded blank.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
That's it. If you're talking about it, then you acknowledge
there's a business aspect of it that you cannot ignore.
Conversation is gonna settle at some point, but just people
just have to realize it's here. Now, it's here, and
it's awesome. It's not going anywhere, and it's just great
for everybody. That was pretty good with no notes, right,
I mean that was pretty good, good stuff with no notes.
(30:29):
Now I do say because now you know the next man,
I'm not wearing a shirt, just like Bill Dollge seven
o'clock at night showing my genius not wearing a shirt.
But the WNBA is a bit of a sore topic
for the next person we're gonna introduce here Monty Bolangios,
because she came to me before the season and said, Jason,
take all your money, take it to Vegas Mystics and
(30:52):
the Wings in the WNBA finals.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
And I said, all, Monzy, come on, I don't know
about that. No to trust me.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Mystics will be at the top of the East, Wings
at the top of the West, and.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
There's a little bit of work to be done. For
that to happen.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
So I'm hoping that it wasn't it too much money
that Moncy Bolanos lost on that. Well, we're gonna find
out now The Jason Smith Show is My best friend
Mike Harmon live from the Tirak dot com studios.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Coming up next, there is.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
A lot of big talk going on about one NBA
draft prospect and hopeful why it's gotten completely out of control.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Straight ahead, Jason and Mike, This is Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
The Jason Smith Show with My best Friend Mike Harmon
Live froth Tirerack dot com Studios. Where now that the
NBA Finals are over, last hour, Mike and I told
you who we expect to see next season's NBA Finals.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
We'll have that again next hour.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Laker oh getness. But speaking of the Lakers, now, we're
getting said for free agency in the NBA Draft, and
there is one name that's going to dominate conversation between
now and the draft, and that's Bronnie James. Because of
the drama of Bronni being Lebron's kid, and are they
gonna play together? And does that mean if one team
(32:14):
drafts Bronni that Lebron's gonna go there.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
It's gonna be endless speculation.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
And today Rich Paul clutch Sports, who's Lebron's agent and
Bronnie's agent, had a bit of a I don't know.
He held court with ESPN about his strategy about how
he's positioning Bronni for the NBA Draft. Specifically, he is
not having Bronnie work out with a lot of teams.
He's only worked out so far for the Suns and
the Lakers, and he's only gonna work out for teams
(32:42):
that are going to not give him a two way deal. Right,
that doesn't happen. That's not gonna be something that my
client's interested in. And he pointed to the fact that
a lot of other players I've had, I've gotten them
one way deals before in the past, and he's pointed
out to three or four players drafted later. Players don't
get you to Normally, players get two way deps at
that point they can play, you know, in the NBA
(33:02):
or below in the G league, but one way do
just what everybody wants. So He pointed to that success. Hey,
I've done it before for players. I can do it
for Bronnie. And so is a lot of big talk
by Rich Paul now over, Hey, yeah, Bronny's gonna do this.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
He's not gonna do this.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
And it's like, okay, dude, he's you know, he's not
even one of the top prospects on the board. But
why is Rich Paul doing this? He's doing this because
he knows the outcome. He knows what's going to happen, right,
he knows. You know, this is the Bill Maher. I
don't know it for a fact. I just know that
it's true. He wouldn't be doing this unless he knows
(33:38):
that when the Lakers come up, they're gonna pick him. Right,
He would not do this unless he knew the Lakers
would take him. And in a draft where there's not
a lot of great prospects in there, there's not any
guys you must have. Hey could now Bronnie wind up?
Get yeah, you could. You could see it being pushed.
He's now become a bit of a commodity. And he
wouldn't do this unless he knows one of those teams,
(34:00):
especially the Lakers, is going to draft Bronni, right, Like
we we talked to Rick Buker last week and he said, Hey,
the one thing you want to do if you're the
Lakers and you want to interview guys, you don't want
to let Matt Ishbia know because Matti Shper's gonna jump
in and want to interview that guy, right, Like you
didn't want to, Like he didn't want anybody else to know.
They were talking to Danny Hurley like the Sons are
a team that could say, screw it, we'll go out
and we'll take Bronnie and wind up and maybe we
(34:23):
get lebron as a result.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
But who knows, because the draft is not great.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Rich Paul wouldn't be doing this unless he knew, Hey,
he's gonna be on no matter what, He's gonna be
on one of these teams worst case scenario, because the
stuff he can't control is if what if another team
really likes him and wants him and drafts him at
twelve or fourteen?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Hey, great, right that that's a win. That's a win.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
But the one thing he knows is that if it
gets down to it and the you know, the people
they passing him throughout the first fifteen picks, whatever it is.
He knows either the Suns or the Lakers are going
to draft him, so he doesn't need to do the workouts,
says he need to do anything else because these would
be two of his preferred destinations, Los Angeles or Phoenix.
If somebody else takes some drafts from earlier, great, that's
a happy accident and it's fantastic. But he knows that
(35:05):
this is He wouldn't be talking like this if he
wasn't sure this is how it's going to turn out
for Brownie. Well, you know, you're one of the invisible
hands in the game. You've done it locally and globally
for many, many a year now. As Rich Paul and
Clutch Sports. As to how they've been at the forefront
of free agency movement and aligning things right, he cites
(35:27):
past clients. He also in his Combat world Wide West
was something watch what I do with Bronnie James. No,
but that's it, just Hey, I'm gonna take this next level. Hell,
they carved out a whole second night at the draft
for Bronnie James. I mean, gone, that's kind of a
big deal. So you got that going for it. But yeah,
obviously you get drafted in the first round, guaranteed contract,
the two way thing goes out of play, blah blah blah.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
But you know, he spoke specifically to Dallas and Toronto
as potential options of you know, hey, they know Brownie
and the fan really well, they have a history whatever else,
so kind of saying, well, even if they don't work out,
you know, there's there's ways that this could you know,
mutate a little bit and have other teams come to
(36:12):
the party. But again he was speaking to that as, hey,
if they want to do that at the end of
the first round, while waving at them from behind a microphone,
then perhaps you add that.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
But yeah, it's it's a rig game. He knows he's
got at worst, the Lakers and the Suns will will
grab him. At best. You know, there's a couple others
that decide that the reach and the boost that they
get is worth it.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen Dome.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
We have more on the Lebron James angle on that's
coming up where you think we're gonna zig and we're
gonna zag.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
That's straight ahead right here.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio, Twitter at how about
