(00:50):
we could be about less than forty minutes away from
crowning dual champions here tonight, We're going to the third
period Game seven in the Stanley Cup Final. The Panther
are twenty minutes away from taking the Cup after blowing
a three games to non lead. Meanwhile, Tennessee just has
to navigate five more outs. However, Texas A and M
(01:12):
has cut that lead to six to three in the
deciding game of the College World Series, which I'm glad
Steve de Seger keeps saying the final game ending tonight,
because outside of that, it's impossible to know he was
trying to help you out. It is impossible to know,
you know, trying to take that great because we had
it in chock on the wall. I got mad at
us because we kept kind of xing things out. It's like,
I don't think that's how just going. You could just
(01:33):
have them keep going into the fall into college football
and say he has another super read now a super
dude the regional Yeah oh more, Yeah, well now they won.
So now Tennessee and Texas A and M have won
this big super World series. Right now, we have other
teams coming into play. Teams have even lost earlier. They
just come back and get resurrected like Zumpy exactly. Yeah, no,
I know, and here they are. Yeah, like in episode one,
(01:55):
you played you know, a guy who was a clerk,
and then you came back in episode four and played
us about that. It's like, yeah, hey, team that got
knocked out three weeks ago. People don't remember. They just
come back and play like this. The College World stuff.
They were eliminated. I wish I could keep it. I
wish I could keep it straight. Now you can. It's
a final. No, no, now it's and the Stanley Cup Final.
I mean, now it's easy. This is it. This is
when the winner of this game wins the College World Series.
(02:18):
There's no no more. Yeah, unless and the guy that
looks like you know, Rod Beck is coming in. They
got to stop you wait, well, I'm on a Harmon's house.
Stop the bleeding. I did see that after a really
bad throwing out. Not the white flaggers out of tart.
It's a giant white slide. They're trying to catch Otani
and roll him up under it. That's only way they're
(02:39):
gonna he was well, he was to have the plate right.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Hitting RBI and a scored running like seventy eight straight games.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Stand in front of this tart. But we're rolling over
here Toani. We got to win this game. Oh yeah,
Dodgers white Sox only two nothing Dodgers, well surprising, and
that's a recent event. Yeah, had I mean he's a
hell of a pitcher. Yes, he's fun to watch. Yeah. No,
it's a yeah. No, not bob cratching, No, no, no, Bob,
not part of a Christmas carol, you of the ghost. No, No,
(03:08):
it's not, it's not. I don't think so. Sure, yeah,
I mean for marketing purposes, perhaps you'd go that way. DJ.
Clearly plenty of room in a pair of pants in
the crotch if you were wearing DJ. Uh so. Yeah.
So this is where we're at right now. Again, it
is the championship between Tennessee and Texas A and M.
If the winner of this wins, neither of them have
won the national title before the winner of this game
(03:31):
wins the championship. Meanwhile, in the Stanley Cup final, the Panthers,
everybody's nervous. Everybody's going nuts to the or we could
be seeing something that you and I will never see
again in their lives. No one really that that is
alive now has seen it. That remembers the last time
a team came in professional sports from down three zip
(03:51):
to win a championship, not just championship. Do you remember
the Toronto maple leaves? Say dad, Dad, you're seventy seven,
remember maple leafs?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
No, when it's happened, my dad is seventy seven, five
years and they remember that, don't live in Canada. Hey,
that don't live in Canada. Not everybody and suddenly can't
remember live in Canada. That don't live in Canada. I
mean people who watch it the first time around that
don't live in Canada. It's gonna be tough. There's gotta
(04:22):
be a few that also might be the last time
the Leafs made the playoffs. I'm oh, is it too soon?
Gonna hate you? But I mean, like, right now you're
getting away from what might be the cruelest taunt in
all of sports. Hey, we had a three nothing lead.
Welcome back into the series. Ohing to slap you upside
(04:43):
the face. So far and so far we'll get to
the big goal. That's the difference. Right now. You're not
happy so far. Alanis Morissette has been a good luck
charm for the pants far are singing the national anthem
clearly TJ. The fans falling head over feet for Morris
who did the drum? Phil Collins? Oh did he do
(05:05):
the thing? Clearly? Alanis Morris set telling fans you want
to know the Stanley Cup is going to be awarded tonight. TJ.
Also in attendance, Dave Coolier, everybody, Hello, DJ is it
ironic that we go to Game seven of the Stanley
Cup Final when the Panthers were up three games to none. DJ.
(05:27):
The beauty of it is none of that was ironic. DJ.
Losing of three games to none lead, It's like rain
on your wedding day.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
It's like, I hate they must really love her head
over feet TJ.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
But look the goal. That's the difference right now, that
has the Panthers up to one and again ready from
you know, hopefully for them. Hey, we're twenty minutes away
from not having the worst, most embarrassing storyline haunt us
for the rest of our lives. Reinhart is the goal
scorer in the second period and Stuart Skinner Skinner mcough
(06:05):
sounded like he's kind of been up and down this postseason.
Skinner yelling at uh, but he allows a goal. That's
a really bad goal. I know that the defenceman kind
of laid back a little too much and allowed him
to get too close to the net. But this was
not a great shot. This was not Hey, this was
this was something that's got to be saved. That kind
(06:27):
of that Skinner kind of just moved his arm a
little bit like he kind of reacted like, I don't
know if it it still came in almost eighty miles
an hour, so it's not like it was a flutter
of puck or anything, but like it, No, he's got
to make that save. Like it didn't get deflected. It was.
It's something that should have hit him like in the
upper part of the chest, and instead it bounces off
his arm and and and and and it and it
(06:48):
goes in for the goal. I mean, that's that's a
really crappy goal. I mean that that's a goal that
you go. Man, I really want that back. I really
I gotta have that one back because if that's the
if that's the goal that wins the Stanley Cup for
you or loses this family cuppets. Man, we came all
the way back and that that's got to be a
play you make a save on. Well, it's he got
cute right after that and got out out of the
(07:08):
crease and almost gave up another big opportunity seconds later. Right.
It's like, you know, we watch you know, you got
copa and you're a going and you watch hockey and
guys make a play or don't, and then they go
to the opposite extreme, right all of a sudden, you're
flying like Luca when he was not getting calls, all
of a sudden he's sprinting back, like, look at how
much great defense I'm gonna give you. It's get her
(07:30):
same thing. It's like, why I missed that one? But
watch me, maybe watch me play this puck behind the net,
and all of a sudden like, oh crap, I can't
get to that puck behind the net. Let me scramble
back the other way and try to thwart this. So yeah,
they almost found themselves in a deeper hole just that fast.
So to to one, I think it's like sixteen minutes
(07:51):
of ice time for McDavid. He's got two shots. Graphic
they just put up on the broadcast Florida eighteen another
the last two postseasons when leading after two period I
mean really, because I don't have a dog in the
fight here. I mean, obviously, look, I do hits in Edmonton,
you know, fairly often. So it's kind of fun. Our
show does well and out charge as well in Miami
too and in Florida. But it's kind of fun because
I have that personal connection to Edmonton. I've been there before,
(08:15):
uh and and it's kind of like, oh, okay, boy,
I'd love to see Edmonton do this, you know, But
really it's like it's like a it's almost like a
sports bucket list thing, no matter what kind of fan
you are, to see a team come back from three
to nothing in the final to win. I mean, look again,
it's something nineteen forty two the last time this happened.
And if it doesn't happen now, when can you say
(08:35):
we're ever gonna see it? I mean, can you oh yeah,
we're gonna say that will happen sometimes the next couple
of years happen here? I mean we haven't. This is
the closest it has been, and it's twenty minutes away
from saying, oh, so close to forrest game seven. No,
but at the insanity of it, right when we whenever
we get into the playoffs and you start charting out,
all right, here's how long it could go whatever, but
it never does. Like rarity that we even get game
(08:59):
sevens in championship rounds were blessed when we do. But like,
legitimately it's twenty minutes, maybe an overtime period, maybe two
if we're lucky, because I love free hockey, But the
idea that you know, this is it your last game.
You made it to your finals. Twenty minutes, there's no Hey,
we can play for tomorrow. We can do the stuff
(09:21):
like the Celtics stand. I mean, Florida already tried that.
I guess what, it didn't work out so well because
I had to work all the way to a game seven.
But this is it, I mean, the the ultimate night
of hockey for this season, and we'll see if you know,
the superstar can make a play. Yeah. And that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
We always talk about athletes under pressure and who's under
the most pressure in the NBA Finals, in the World Series,
in the super Bowl, there's always one player that it's
more than more than that four. But right now, these
last twenty minutes, there is nobody under more pressure than
the best player in hockey. And that's conomic data. Everybody, Okay,
now this is it, this is you're the best player.
We need a goal. Go get one. Well, because you
(09:58):
saw how the rhetoric and and need talking points as
the lead extended from one game to two game to
three games, it became a you know, shots, how much
ice time, how quickly they were shifting off, and then
when they won the game to force things forward where
he didn't have a shot on goal, no points. This
(10:19):
is the first time in seven times seven games in
his career that that happened. But he's looking wrong on
how the hell did that happen? Hey, you need to
be better next time. We don't have that again. This
just goes to show you to widen this point out
a bit. Now is obviously the cope America and euro
we're watching. It's to great. These two competitions are going
on right now, and we get games in the middle
of the day and they're fun and watching. You think
(10:41):
the America, you think we have problems trying to score goals.
Just watch Italy play. Oh my goodness, how many times
in the box Italy have to biff the ball and
it winds up going out of bounds. But just finally
score that equalized a minute and a half left an
extra time. Baby, But you just think about CAZ. Soccer
and hockey are very extremely similar in in players with
(11:02):
their responsibilities and what you ask certain players to do.
Did you just say sake and hockey, Yes, sake. If
you're drinking sake, I don't. I don't know if I've
ever drank soake. Really, I think I've tried it.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
We've never had sushi. No, no, I have sushi right now,
you haven't.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
What do you mean? I eat? I eat the sushi.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
California's sake, no cumber.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Now I want sushi like with with the crust cut
off the end of my sandwiches. Take a regular suits.
Whether it's whether it's yellowtail or.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Never had the experience of sushi. If you haven't drinking
sake with it, drinking drink. If I haven't drinking sake,
he didn't, he didn't do the anger drink. You were
drinking sake. If you haven't drinking drinking, If.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I haven't drunk or drunk drink. It depends the world.
I've tried. I've tried. But listen, I'm so. I've told
you I don't want any kind of alcohol to mix
in with the eating experience I am having. If I
won't open the pallet up, I'll have some ginger or
some some of that, some of that there, pistachio I
it's cream, you know I can have it doesn't matter.
(12:06):
I can have some of that with sabby then clean.
That's get a good sake going. Come on, but look
it we're going for sushi for real. It just shows
you the pressure that when because there's players, and then
there's the scorers, the strikers, the scorers in hockey that
are under incredible amounts of pressure more than all the
(12:27):
other players, because there, hey you played well, you didn't
play well. Is is never looked at anything more than
what you put up on the score show. I mean,
look at what it is. Whatever he did the game yesterday,
you looked at how did you? How did you do it?
It wasn't and it was polistic scored, yeah, but it
didn't matter who he played for. It was all about
hey it's Captain America. Yeah, but you had you had
(12:49):
Balligan scored and he didn't have a great game. But
Peppy comes in for twenty five minutes. It creates like
five chances Balligan scores, Peppy did what are people say
o Balligan played what? No, Peppy actually had the better
game played way that is. But the pressure is is
that you are judge. When you are a scorer, you
are judged by did you did you put a notch
in the score column? If you did, you had a
great game. If you didn't, it's your full I used
(13:10):
to tell us how great a score you were in
the on the ice when you failed, how much did
your teammates get out. I didn't fail. I never failed.
I didn't fail. I don't believe you. There was never
every championship when you were skating in on a breakaway
and you fell the come on, man, I got the
goalie to do what I wanted to do and then
I put in the back of the net. I know,
(13:32):
I didn't feel. It's not like Barry Bond. I didn't
fail that much in hockey. I was a great hockey player.
I didn't fail that much every championship with In fact,
you know, there's one play I remember where I should
have scored a goal. Is a third period of a
playoff game, wound up going to overtime, wound up winning,
and I shot. And I had a great shot from
(13:52):
from like between like between the two dots, and I
shot it, and I shot it right into the goalies,
right into a stomach when I meant to go high.
And then everybody's going oh, and I was so mad.
I'm like, how do I blank and shoot that puck
right between right between him? I got and and he
and the goalie makes say but he gets up and
he stares at me like like he uh, like he
did something. And I said, I said, yeah, wait, wait
(14:13):
till about ten minutes from now. See you're still standing
up like that. And he was like, And we scored
in overtime. I didn't score, but I set up the
goal and we scored. We had a two on one
and I passed and I went right around when I
went whoo right in his ear that he hated that Jamie.
Instead of instead of shooting, I scored, I scored. Yeah, no,
(14:33):
it was it, I remember. And I scared right and
I went whoo right by his ear, like yeah, he's
standing up. Yeah you did not hit him. I shot
all you, dude, hockey. I talked a lot of smack
man about the five finger of the chest. I talked
right now. I wasn't a physical playing the chot. I
wasn't a physical player. I was a score. That's what
normally follows a right, not right after a game is
(14:54):
over and you win. I was like, yeah, we're we're
in the court celebrating after we won. I went it
was like I made a circle right around his head,
went whoa right around. I still remember, I still remember
the past too, because the defender came to me and
I gave him a nice pass. Let the puck settle
bang he knocked it in. Oh it was a great play.
Oh man, it was a great play.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Shout out to that guy that did the uh the
five finger to the chest Rick Flair style at the
waffle house.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Oh yeah, dude, we're getting some Yeah yeah, there's some
waffle House videos coming out man that are I think
they could be. What I'm saying is no, no, no.
What I'm saying yeah me, what did they tell you
that when I was at the waffle House last weekend? Uh? No,
there's a run of videos like there could be a show.
It could be like it could be like best waffle House. No,

Stanley Cup and three outs between Tennessee and the World
Series Championship in college baseball. Jason, what's up, Prosper there's
a mustache? Oh yeah, the dude who was just pitching
(17:30):
for Tennessee. Yeah, Like I almost thought like Chad Powers
was playing, uh Eli Manning and the bit, you know,
with the mustache and everything. Oh yeah, I mean he's
got to be the captain. Oh yeah, he's got the
he's got the beard and the mutton chops and the everything.
Oh yeah, he's Uh, that dude's a throw bat's I mean,
there's no question about it. He looks like you saw
(17:51):
the crowd when he came into the game. I mean yeah,
oh it's yeah. Yeah. It was like kind a little
bit of Pete Vukovic, a little bit of Pete Vukovich
a little bit and they's got the a little bit
of that. Yeah. And I'll tell you what his breaking
stuff was fantastic. Whoof he does his own he gets

(18:11):

he could have been Wyatt, right, like, oh, he takes
a mask off. That's why it okay and the show
can't be any worse, right, Yeah, oh man, I'll tell
you this is uh, this is really fun. And again
Tennessee is three outs away leadoff runner at second. Uh.
(18:33):
Peyton Manning nervous in the stands. Uh. But I did
say all the openings in the NBA have been filled
head coaching wise, I forgot about Detroit. You didn't count
them as a official NBA France. I did say NBA.
So when I said l A and Cleveland, I was right,
say I was even though trading nine and I mean
(18:54):
he put no timetable, no no, no time. I'm trying
to find a new coach. They could start the season
without a coach. It wouldn't surprise me. We're doing we're
doing good. So because I don't think they dismissed the
entire staff, I think they just got rid of money.
We could win eighteen games without a coach, So I mean,
it's it's fine, we don't. We don't just spend money
on a guy until we really find when we up again.
I gotta be honest, I would love to see that
(19:15):
who's in charge. I don't know somebody, you know, we
we spin the bottle for the clipboard. No, we go
from there just way till Isaiah Thomas comes back. That'll
be the way they get Isaiah. No you didn't, Yeah, buddy,
wait a lit because you know that's good. What else
they gonna do? Let's get Isaiah Tom Okay, Isaiah come
on back and coach. All right, he'll sign Jared Jeffries.
(19:36):
It'll be great. Jared Jeffries. There's a name I haven't
heard now, but yes, JJ Reddick is now official. He
is the head coach of the Lakers. He's introducing the
press conference today. And one of the big questions that
JJ Reddick gott was about his podcast. Right, got a
couple of podcasts going on. It's the biggest topic of
all of it. What are you actually gonna do with
(19:58):
the Are you gonna keep doing it? You're gonna keep
your podcast? I mean, Gottleib's keeping his show and he's coaching. Hey,
your show. He's got the what the Three Men and
an Old Lady podcast? Right? I got that one and
in the three Yeah, and the other one he has
with Lebron Yeah. Is he going to keep doing this
while he's the head coach of the Lakers, and this
was his answer from earlier today.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
I am for the time being, and hopefully it's a
very very long time. I am excommunicated from the content space,
so there would be no podcast. We'll do something when
I have a breather from what we have coming up.
I'm gonna be drinking out of a fire hose for
the next month, but at some point we'll just do
(20:39):
something for all the people that listened, and we'll have
a small little video. But I'm done with podcasting for now.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
He and John Wick ex communicado. The bounty at John
Wick seventeen million dollars. This one goes out to John.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Wa Hey, guys, guess where he's not staying in La
Where is he not? It's the Continental?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Nicely done. When they want to fire, he's just got
to put his hand on it and they can't fire him. No,
I'm here. We wanted to fire. You know, I got
my hand on the Continental. Now you'd appreciate how he uh,
what was it content farming or U click farming or
however he termed sure click for me, that sounds like
a game you would play on Facebook. So and so
(21:18):
has invited you to play clickfarming. Oh, I'd love to
play click farming. Great, thanks for that, because that's how
he is. Another game kind of where we're at, right,
I mean, but kind of making fun of the space
that he just lived in for a couple of years
on the way out. Yeah, all of a sudden, I'm
exting me. This is dude, this is how you got
the job, right, this is this is how you got
the of It is how you got the job. It's
certainly not you're coaching act. Which is third. I have
(21:40):
a better resume coaching than he does. I have a
better which means I want him to succeed so I
can manage the Mets in a couple of years. Well
that's here from Gottli. Yeah, I need be here from
Reddick and he got leave to make the tournament. I
need Readick to get the Lakers into the top six
and then I then in about a year and a half. Hey, okay, Jays,
what are you going to do Grimace's handler? Dude, I'd
(22:00):
bring Grimas will be my bench coach. He'll be right
next to me the whole time. Oh yeah, he should
own the team at this point. Well, he's got to
be next to me in the dugouts, so the players
have room to go up and down. Like, Grimace is
a pretty big dude, and I need somebody to go
get me McDonald shakes to bring to the dugout. So
he would be the guy to go, yeah shakes, he'd
be my guy. Where's your respect? You have a zero respect?
(22:20):
What are you talking about? We're in the Yeah, Yeah,
that's that's what people expect Grimace to be. Hey, what's
grimm is gonna do? Like, I'm not gonna have Grimace
coach third base? Others what to do after this the
last two weeks. Listen, I got Grimace is going to
close the next ten days with has being suspended. Yeah,
but you know what, Grimace is a team guy yecause
he's been in the background for a lot of years.
(22:40):
Remember he was introduced as Evil Grimace going all the
way back to nineteen seventy one. Yeah, and then he
was put out the pasture for a while. The commercials
kind of Wayne Ronald McDonald's was then creepy. He wasn't
around much. The Burger King ruled the air waves. Him
and Jack in the box. Right now, all of a sudden,
Grimace has his day in the sun. He's about servitude,
(23:00):
he's about being a man of the people and working
behind the scenes to get another opportunity. I think he'd
be okay with getting Jason a shop.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I sent you the New City Connect, the Med City Connection,
the Grimmas jersey.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Oh, I gotta get I gotta get one of those.
You're kidding, the purple jersey, grimacessists letters. You think went
out for all this Bunco merchandise that's been Oh, I
think McDonald's is just oh wait wait, people are doing
stuff for Grimace. Yeah, let him have it. That's fine.
We'll announce a new sandwich. It'll be it'll be great. Oh,
it'll work for everybody. It'll be all good. Just put
(23:31):
Grimace's picture on the app. So when people come in,
that's great, sign them up. Do a whole thing. Mention Grimace.
When you sid we'll give you a free diet coke
or whatever, not a coke, a diet coke.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
This is.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Up because they'll be the letigious ones because he's wearing
a mets hat every everything you see. But let's look
something a little bit different on JJ Reddick, cause you
know what I told you. I don't think it's gonna
matter because the way the Lakers are. Is he going
to be a culture guy? Is he not? But let
me tell you two things that I give him the
(24:04):
benefit of the doubt for and the opportunity that the
Lakers have right now. Number one is and this and
this is what they need. And part of the reason
why I said it's not really gonna matter because this
Lakers roster is pretty flawed and it's very difficult to
make decisions because of the of what they're butted up in.
Salary wise, Lebron's not going to take less money and
you're still you're still reeling from the Russell Westbrook signing
(24:25):
two years ago. But to here now, every day there's
a couple of players that the Lakers are interested in
that they are talking with other teams about. Colin Sexton's
name came up today. He would be a great shooter
that could come in if they could figure out a
way for that. Zach Levine would be great. You've heard
h about it, You've heard his name for the last
few months, and he's someone. Look if the Bulls are
going to give everybody away, Okay, hey, look lineup for
(24:47):
Zach Levine. So just the fact that it's a new
head coach and it's JJ Reddick, who might have pre
existing relationships that we don't know about. That could be
a good thing because if this helps overhaul the roster. Okay,
that's different from his coaching input, because look, in the NBA,
it's about, look, let's get the talent out there. We'll
figure it out, because it's what the Boston Celtics do
(25:08):
to win championships. We'll get the talent, put it out there,
We'll figure it out. Right, Joe Mizzoola is not some
mastermind every five we're gonna do this this, No, but
if he can bring in enough talent, if he has
the cachet with the modern day player, that's great because
the other part of it is just thinking about a
change in general. Right to your Austin Reeves say and
through his agent, hey can't wait to start working with
(25:29):
j J. Wat we start talking about, I mean, the
guy's a genius. Whatever. Now, I might just be sucking
up because he wants a bigger role and a reclamation
to what he was before this last year, but like
he's glowing recommendations to your point, I mean, Reddick's only
three plus years out of the league. Yeah right, he's
(25:49):
he's turning forty, right, he's his birthday. Yeah, so he's
forty years old. So you still have a lot of
connection and relationship with guys in the league, or you
can you have the onto it to guys that are
recently retired that are you know, it's the two degrees
of separation. So I'll open the door for that that
if he helps bring in talented players that they need, right,
(26:11):
that's a great thing because that's the one thing we
haven't seen the last game. They've not been able to
bring people in, bring in what they need. And sometimes
it's just a change in general. Right, And this is
where I go with with the Austin Reefs part of it. Now,
how excited I am to work with JJ Reddick and
other players, How excited they are because you saw how
bad it was and how much they all just were
done with Darvin ham that it's almost like in Major
(26:32):
League Baseball, when you fire manager in baseball, it's almost
irrelevant who they bring in because it's on the player
so much. Okay, well, hey they just fired our manager.
We're on notice and we didn't like him anyway, So
now whoever comes in everything is great, and that first
year or in that time after firing a manager, Hey
you get an uptick, I'm going to open the door
(26:53):
for the same thing here, just moving out from under
Darvin Ham could be so much of it. It's a
new day in Lakerland that it's okay that it could
be Reddick. It could have been James Barrego, it could
have been anybody that you brought in. Hey, no matter
who we bring in, it's gonna wind up being okay.
So for those two reasons, I look. I said, let's
look at this from the positive thing now, because again
(27:15):
I don't think JJ Reddick can affect the team that
much on the court, But if those are things that
can happen because of him, his relationships with other players,
and just the fact that it's a new voice and
someone that the team doesn't hate, it doesn't matter they
don't like him that first year. Okay, Well, it's not
Darvin Ham telling us stuff that we don't like. It's
not Anthony Davis after a playoff game going we didn't
know what to do. It's none of those things. This
(27:35):
is all new. So those two things, yeah, I'll say
that's something I can look at that I can say
maybe JJ Reddick can work and we can wind up
seeing something. Those are the two things I would point
to to say, all right, maybe maybe that's where things
can turn and the Lakers fortune can turn a little bit. Yeah,
it's the curiosity of it.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Reddick also spoke about the fact that and again do
you buy or sell the legitimacy or reality of it? Say, well,
I hadn't talked to Lebron about the coaching stuff until
this was done, and I talked to him for about
fifteen minutes. I don't know how much you believe that,
but that's what he's going to continue to sell. That
seems to be the company line. Take a bit what
(28:13):
you will, Anthony Davis, the idea of him being on
board with whatever JJ Reddick wants to sell. Right, that's
one of the big question marks that's out there. You
talk about where the roster is, Well, Vanderbilt, Vincent, Cam
Reddish three guys that they expected a lot from. They
were hurt quite a bit this last year. And Vincent
(28:35):
and Vanderbilt were two guys that they expected to be
big forces for them defensively. And I think even going
back to his knixt days waiting for Cam Reddish to
kind of rise up and become a little bit more.
I mean, he's still really young in the grand scheme
of things, but now it's time to push forward. Dejontain
Murray's name has come up a couple of times. You know,
(28:56):
whether Atlanta is going to do a full sell. They're
actually you know Mark Stein who joins us on the
show talking about mom, maybe Atlanta is making a deal
to go and get the you know, for the Spurs
to beat move up to number one. I mean, there's
a lot of potential chaos here over these next couple
of days and as we enter free agency. But for
jj Reddick, like I know, it's it's hot. Take theater
(29:18):
and you got to decide whether he's he's the worst
thing in the world or the best or take all
sorts of other side storylines along with it. Can it work? Sure?
Can he keep Lebron James and Anthony Davis healthy for
seventy plus games? Again that if he's magical and can
do that for a second straight year, he stands a
(29:38):
pretty good shot to at least be in the mix.
Exit out about a Fresco exit swelling down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carment So a
little zigo. You think I'm gonna zeg those two things,
I'm telling you those two things are big. Not really
relying on him and what he would do as a
head coach, but what he could do as a head
coach to help the product get better on the floor.
This year The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
(30:01):
Mike Harmon Love from the Tirak dot com Studios coming
up next. Yes, we'll get into the story the sticky stuff.
I've not been avoiding it. We've just had a lot
of stuff to get the stickiest of the ichy. We'll
get to the sticky stuff. And again I'm gonna zig
where you think I'm gonna zag. It's coming up next
right here, Jason and Mike. This is Fox Sports Radio.

Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon live from the tirag dot com studios where
the Florida Panthers are three and a half minutes away
from the Stanley Cup. A lot of action in front
of the Oiler's net or from the Panthers net. A
couple of minutes ago, however, was cleared out, icing three
(31:19):
and a half to go, Probably a couple of time
out skeep McDavid fresh as the Oilers have one last
gasp towards Notice they keep tying the game, putting that
ticker up of how much his ice time is At
this point, it's like they're haunting it, like look at
what he's done now, Like ice time has become the
big metric that we need to add to every graphic now.
So we'll have more on this game coming up in
(31:40):
a few minutes. Again, still three and a half minutes
left to go, Panthers up two to one. Uh, but yes,
Edwin Diaz because the Mets can't bleep and have nice things,
Taylor Swift saying about, uh, you break them, she takes
them away. Now Mets are playing great. The Grimace everything's awesome,
And Edwin Diaz doesn't throw pitch against the Cubs last
(32:01):
night and gets thrown out of the game because of
having too much sticky substance on his hands. You saw
the pictures. It looked like it was Some of it
looked like it was purple, almost like what did you do?
I touched Grimace and he healed me, and I didn't
know what happened. Do you see the light? I really
what I says it It looks like I healed You.
Go out there and pitch. Go out there and pitch.
(32:23):
Uh you know, look, Grimace needs a showerm Grimace is
now closing for the Mets in the in the next
good form.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So today he gets officially suspended. He said it was
just sweat and rows. And first thing I'm gonna say
is this, I am done hearing the sweat and rows
and excuse from pictures. Now it's very quickly gotten to
the point where I'm sick of here, Like I'm sick
of hearing players say I didn't know what illegal steroid
was in that supplement when I took it. Like I'm
done hearing we're trying to have a kid. I'm done,
(32:51):
we're trying to have a kid. I'm done with all that.
I'm done. I'm done with that. And now I'm done
with the sweat and rosin. I'm done with sweat and
rosin and you got hacked. I'm done with the three
got to be done with sweat and rows because look,
as the umpire said, look, we do these thousands of times.
Did they want to throw Edwin Diaz out of the game? No,
this was something way more than that, and we had
to throw him out. Okay again, when you see the discoloration,
(33:13):
how much was on his hand, I'm like, yeah, I mean, gremas,
what did you dotted? Playing? He had taken a fall
and it was bruising. I was trying to pitch through it,
you know. And and look, and here's the part where
I said where you think I'm gonnazig instead of zagging,
because am I concerned that of the eight pitchers now
that have been suspended for sticky stuff. Three of them
have been Mets. Yeah, a little bit. But for Diaz,
(33:37):
I could easily see this because he is a guy
that is a confidence pitcher, and when he is not
going well, it's because he doesn't have his confidence, doesn't locate
his pitch as well. Maybe he telegraphs him a little bit,
but he is a confidence guy. When he is confident,
no one touches him. When he's not confident, he gets
hit and lit up all across the yard. He went
through that stretch earlier this year. Right, he blew four
(33:59):
games in a row. Oh my goodness. But could I
see him, Hey, a little bit more stuff on my hands.
All pitchers used to keep a better grip on the ball.
Could I see him going a little overboard? Because hey,
I got to get my mojo back, and now that
I've got it back, I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with this.
Then I'm gonna stick with this and see how it goes.
And I went a little overboard. And because they checked
(34:21):
me before I started pitching, the stuff was really sticky,
and it was it was very difficult for me for
them to do that because sometimes I check when they finished. Hey,
they check when you're there and I could see it.
I could see it happening. Not saying I know, but
could I see this? And this is what's going on
with you guys because of his confidence that this is
what happened. Yeah, I can absolutely see that. I'm gonna
take a page from your book. The preponderance of evidence
(34:43):
says they're a bunch of systematic cheaters and it's about
time they've had their come up. It's one after another.
Does that sound familiar, sure, jets Fanner. But in the end,
I get it, the confidence, but it's also just natural
order from your kids, and they're boundary testing with you
as a parent. All Right, what's the thing that's really
(35:04):
gonna tick mom or dad or grandma or grandpa off
or whoever's sitting you know, babysit or whatever? What can
I get away with? And it's the raptors testing the
fence and Jurassic Park, where's the weakling? What am I
gonna do? Or you're playing any sport, right, you're gonna
try to push the boundaries, especially the physicality. Basketball and
soccer are the two that I think we would stand
(35:25):
out most. All right, they're gonna let some physicality play
go in the low post. We're gonna get to see,
you know, a little bit of action that way where
we're not gonna have a quick whistle and everybody moves
on same thing here, all right. We all stipulate that
there's gonna be some level of pine tar rosin whatever
that's that's gonna find its way to your hand, and
(35:47):
then it just becomes the how far we go? Just
like you when you when you have a bat, right,
how far up does the the handle does the pine
tar go? Right now, we're getting into a level of
silliness that's helping me hit because it's you know, six
inches above where my hands are on the bet. But hey,
we've seen dumber things ruled. So in this case, yeah,
(36:08):
I mean you push the boundaries and see where the
suspension line is. Unfortunately, it's ten games. It's not one.
It's not one miss series. It's it's a ten game bump.
But you know what, you get to test other closers
in the interim again. Oh, not that you hadn't done
that already, sure, and especially let's do it in the subway.
So we played the team with the best one and
(36:28):
our Crosstown Riders big time in here for the Yankees.
That's all We'll do it. You get thrown out during
a yank Now game, No looks that you saw someone
off and then throw a bad at him. I need
nothing like that. No, let's get suspended before it. He
got suspended. I could see it. I can't make an
excuse for it because when you look at his hand,
you're saying, what the hell is going on? But I
mean it, if the purple stuff was Grimace's fault, then
(36:49):
you know what, there's gonna there's gonna be hell to
pay in the I know the Grimace era is the
Grimace era, but there's gonna be hell to pay if
that happens. Man, maybe just eight pie before he came
to the Mound exit. How about a Fresco exit swollen Dome.

(00:50):
we could be about less than forty minutes away from
crowning dual champions here tonight, We're going to the third
period Game seven in the Stanley Cup Final. The Panther
are twenty minutes away from taking the Cup after blowing
a three games to non lead. Meanwhile, Tennessee just has
to navigate five more outs. However, Texas A and M
(01:12):
has cut that lead to six to three in the
deciding game of the College World Series, which I'm glad
Steve de Seger keeps saying the final game ending tonight,
because outside of that, it's impossible to know he was
trying to help you out. It is impossible to know,
you know, trying to take that great because we had
it in chock on the wall. I got mad at
us because we kept kind of xing things out. It's like,
I don't think that's how just going. You could just
(01:33):
have them keep going into the fall into college football
and say he has another super read now a super
dude the regional Yeah oh more, Yeah, well now they won.
So now Tennessee and Texas A and M have won
this big super World series. Right now, we have other
teams coming into play. Teams have even lost earlier. They
just come back and get resurrected like Zumpy exactly. Yeah, no,
I know, and here they are. Yeah, like in episode one,
(01:55):
you played you know, a guy who was a clerk,
and then you came back in episode four and played
us about that. It's like, yeah, hey, team that got
knocked out three weeks ago. People don't remember. They just
come back and play like this. The College World stuff.
They were eliminated. I wish I could keep it. I
wish I could keep it straight. Now you can. It's
a final. No, no, now it's and the Stanley Cup Final.
I mean, now it's easy. This is it. This is
when the winner of this game wins the College World Series.
(02:18):
There's no no more. Yeah, unless and the guy that
looks like you know, Rod Beck is coming in. They
got to stop you wait, well, I'm on a Harmon's house.
Stop the bleeding. I did see that after a really
bad throwing out. Not the white flaggers out of tart.
It's a giant white slide. They're trying to catch Otani
and roll him up under it. That's only way they're
(02:39):
gonna he was well, he was to have the plate right.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Hitting RBI and a scored running like seventy eight straight games.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Stand in front of this tart. But we're rolling over
here Toani. We got to win this game. Oh yeah,
Dodgers white Sox only two nothing Dodgers, well surprising, and
that's a recent event. Yeah, had I mean he's a
hell of a pitcher. Yes, he's fun to watch. Yeah. No,
it's a yeah. No, not bob cratching, No, no, no, Bob,
not part of a Christmas carol, you of the ghost. No, No,
(03:08):
it's not, it's not. I don't think so. Sure, yeah,
I mean for marketing purposes, perhaps you'd go that way. DJ.
Clearly plenty of room in a pair of pants in
the crotch if you were wearing DJ. Uh so. Yeah.
So this is where we're at right now. Again, it
is the championship between Tennessee and Texas A and M.
If the winner of this wins, neither of them have
won the national title before the winner of this game
(03:31):
wins the championship. Meanwhile, in the Stanley Cup final, the Panthers,
everybody's nervous. Everybody's going nuts to the or we could
be seeing something that you and I will never see
again in their lives. No one really that that is
alive now has seen it. That remembers the last time
a team came in professional sports from down three zip
(03:51):
to win a championship, not just championship. Do you remember
the Toronto maple leaves? Say dad, Dad, you're seventy seven,
remember maple leafs?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
No, when it's happened, my dad is seventy seven, five
years and they remember that, don't live in Canada. Hey,
that don't live in Canada. Not everybody and suddenly can't
remember live in Canada. That don't live in Canada. I
mean people who watch it the first time around that
don't live in Canada. It's gonna be tough. There's gotta
(04:22):
be a few that also might be the last time
the Leafs made the playoffs. I'm oh, is it too soon?
Gonna hate you? But I mean, like, right now you're
getting away from what might be the cruelest taunt in
all of sports. Hey, we had a three nothing lead.
Welcome back into the series. Ohing to slap you upside
(04:43):
the face. So far and so far we'll get to
the big goal. That's the difference. Right now. You're not
happy so far. Alanis Morissette has been a good luck
charm for the pants far are singing the national anthem
clearly TJ. The fans falling head over feet for Morris
who did the drum? Phil Collins? Oh did he do
(05:05):
the thing? Clearly? Alanis Morris set telling fans you want
to know the Stanley Cup is going to be awarded tonight. TJ.
Also in attendance, Dave Coolier, everybody, Hello, DJ is it
ironic that we go to Game seven of the Stanley
Cup Final when the Panthers were up three games to none. DJ.
(05:27):
The beauty of it is none of that was ironic. DJ.
Losing of three games to none lead, It's like rain
on your wedding day.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
It's like, I hate they must really love her head
over feet TJ.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
But look the goal. That's the difference right now, that
has the Panthers up to one and again ready from
you know, hopefully for them. Hey, we're twenty minutes away
from not having the worst, most embarrassing storyline haunt us
for the rest of our lives. Reinhart is the goal
scorer in the second period and Stuart Skinner Skinner mcough
(06:05):
sounded like he's kind of been up and down this postseason.
Skinner yelling at uh, but he allows a goal. That's
a really bad goal. I know that the defenceman kind
of laid back a little too much and allowed him
to get too close to the net. But this was
not a great shot. This was not Hey, this was
this was something that's got to be saved. That kind
(06:27):
of that Skinner kind of just moved his arm a
little bit like he kind of reacted like, I don't
know if it it still came in almost eighty miles
an hour, so it's not like it was a flutter
of puck or anything, but like it, No, he's got
to make that save. Like it didn't get deflected. It was.
It's something that should have hit him like in the
upper part of the chest, and instead it bounces off
his arm and and and and and it and it
(06:48):
goes in for the goal. I mean, that's that's a
really crappy goal. I mean that that's a goal that
you go. Man, I really want that back. I really
I gotta have that one back because if that's the
if that's the goal that wins the Stanley Cup for
you or loses this family cuppets. Man, we came all
the way back and that that's got to be a
play you make a save on. Well, it's he got
cute right after that and got out out of the
(07:08):
crease and almost gave up another big opportunity seconds later. Right.
It's like, you know, we watch you know, you got
copa and you're a going and you watch hockey and
guys make a play or don't, and then they go
to the opposite extreme, right all of a sudden, you're
flying like Luca when he was not getting calls, all
of a sudden he's sprinting back, like, look at how
much great defense I'm gonna give you. It's get her
(07:30):
same thing. It's like, why I missed that one? But
watch me, maybe watch me play this puck behind the net,
and all of a sudden like, oh crap, I can't
get to that puck behind the net. Let me scramble
back the other way and try to thwart this. So yeah,
they almost found themselves in a deeper hole just that fast.
So to to one, I think it's like sixteen minutes
(07:51):
of ice time for McDavid. He's got two shots. Graphic
they just put up on the broadcast Florida eighteen another
the last two postseasons when leading after two period I
mean really, because I don't have a dog in the
fight here. I mean, obviously, look, I do hits in Edmonton,
you know, fairly often. So it's kind of fun. Our
show does well and out charge as well in Miami
too and in Florida. But it's kind of fun because
I have that personal connection to Edmonton. I've been there before,
(08:15):
uh and and it's kind of like, oh, okay, boy,
I'd love to see Edmonton do this, you know, But
really it's like it's like a it's almost like a
sports bucket list thing, no matter what kind of fan
you are, to see a team come back from three
to nothing in the final to win. I mean, look again,
it's something nineteen forty two the last time this happened.
And if it doesn't happen now, when can you say
(08:35):
we're ever gonna see it? I mean, can you oh yeah,
we're gonna say that will happen sometimes the next couple
of years happen here? I mean we haven't. This is
the closest it has been, and it's twenty minutes away
from saying, oh, so close to forrest game seven. No,
but at the insanity of it, right when we whenever
we get into the playoffs and you start charting out,
all right, here's how long it could go whatever, but
it never does. Like rarity that we even get game
(08:59):
sevens in championship rounds were blessed when we do. But like,
legitimately it's twenty minutes, maybe an overtime period, maybe two
if we're lucky, because I love free hockey, But the
idea that you know, this is it your last game.
You made it to your finals. Twenty minutes, there's no Hey,
we can play for tomorrow. We can do the stuff
(09:21):
like the Celtics stand. I mean, Florida already tried that.
I guess what, it didn't work out so well because
I had to work all the way to a game seven.
But this is it, I mean, the the ultimate night
of hockey for this season, and we'll see if you know,
the superstar can make a play. Yeah. And that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
We always talk about athletes under pressure and who's under
the most pressure in the NBA Finals, in the World Series,
in the super Bowl, there's always one player that it's
more than more than that four. But right now, these
last twenty minutes, there is nobody under more pressure than
the best player in hockey. And that's conomic data. Everybody, Okay,
now this is it, this is you're the best player.
We need a goal. Go get one. Well, because you
(09:58):
saw how the rhetoric and and need talking points as
the lead extended from one game to two game to
three games, it became a you know, shots, how much
ice time, how quickly they were shifting off, and then
when they won the game to force things forward where
he didn't have a shot on goal, no points. This
(10:19):
is the first time in seven times seven games in
his career that that happened. But he's looking wrong on
how the hell did that happen? Hey, you need to
be better next time. We don't have that again. This
just goes to show you to widen this point out
a bit. Now is obviously the cope America and euro
we're watching. It's to great. These two competitions are going
on right now, and we get games in the middle
of the day and they're fun and watching. You think
(10:41):
the America, you think we have problems trying to score goals.
Just watch Italy play. Oh my goodness, how many times
in the box Italy have to biff the ball and
it winds up going out of bounds. But just finally
score that equalized a minute and a half left an
extra time. Baby, But you just think about CAZ. Soccer
and hockey are very extremely similar in in players with
(11:02):
their responsibilities and what you ask certain players to do.
Did you just say sake and hockey, Yes, sake. If
you're drinking sake, I don't. I don't know if I've
ever drank soake. Really, I think I've tried it.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
We've never had sushi. No, no, I have sushi right now,
you haven't.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
What do you mean? I eat? I eat the sushi.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
California's sake, no cumber.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Now I want sushi like with with the crust cut
off the end of my sandwiches. Take a regular suits.
Whether it's whether it's yellowtail or.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Never had the experience of sushi. If you haven't drinking
sake with it, drinking drink. If I haven't drinking sake,
he didn't, he didn't do the anger drink. You were
drinking sake. If you haven't drinking drinking, If.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I haven't drunk or drunk drink. It depends the world.
I've tried. I've tried. But listen, I'm so. I've told
you I don't want any kind of alcohol to mix
in with the eating experience I am having. If I
won't open the pallet up, I'll have some ginger or
some some of that, some of that there, pistachio I
it's cream, you know I can have it doesn't matter.
(12:06):
I can have some of that with sabby then clean.
That's get a good sake going. Come on, but look
it we're going for sushi for real. It just shows
you the pressure that when because there's players, and then
there's the scorers, the strikers, the scorers in hockey that
are under incredible amounts of pressure more than all the
(12:27):
other players, because there, hey you played well, you didn't
play well. Is is never looked at anything more than
what you put up on the score show. I mean,
look at what it is. Whatever he did the game yesterday,
you looked at how did you? How did you do it?
It wasn't and it was polistic scored, yeah, but it
didn't matter who he played for. It was all about
hey it's Captain America. Yeah, but you had you had
(12:49):
Balligan scored and he didn't have a great game. But
Peppy comes in for twenty five minutes. It creates like
five chances Balligan scores, Peppy did what are people say
o Balligan played what? No, Peppy actually had the better
game played way that is. But the pressure is is
that you are judge. When you are a scorer, you
are judged by did you did you put a notch
in the score column? If you did, you had a
great game. If you didn't, it's your full I used
(13:10):
to tell us how great a score you were in
the on the ice when you failed, how much did
your teammates get out. I didn't fail. I never failed.
I didn't fail. I don't believe you. There was never
every championship when you were skating in on a breakaway
and you fell the come on, man, I got the
goalie to do what I wanted to do and then
I put in the back of the net. I know,
(13:32):
I didn't feel. It's not like Barry Bond. I didn't
fail that much in hockey. I was a great hockey player.
I didn't fail that much every championship with In fact,
you know, there's one play I remember where I should
have scored a goal. Is a third period of a
playoff game, wound up going to overtime, wound up winning,
and I shot. And I had a great shot from
(13:52):
from like between like between the two dots, and I
shot it, and I shot it right into the goalies,
right into a stomach when I meant to go high.
And then everybody's going oh, and I was so mad.
I'm like, how do I blank and shoot that puck
right between right between him? I got and and he
and the goalie makes say but he gets up and
he stares at me like like he uh, like he
did something. And I said, I said, yeah, wait, wait
(14:13):
till about ten minutes from now. See you're still standing
up like that. And he was like, And we scored
in overtime. I didn't score, but I set up the
goal and we scored. We had a two on one
and I passed and I went right around when I
went whoo right in his ear that he hated that Jamie.
Instead of instead of shooting, I scored, I scored. Yeah, no,
(14:33):
it was it, I remember. And I scared right and
I went whoo right by his ear, like yeah, he's
standing up. Yeah you did not hit him. I shot
all you, dude, hockey. I talked a lot of smack
man about the five finger of the chest. I talked
right now. I wasn't a physical playing the chot. I
wasn't a physical player. I was a score. That's what
normally follows a right, not right after a game is
(14:54):
over and you win. I was like, yeah, we're we're
in the court celebrating after we won. I went it
was like I made a circle right around his head,
went whoa right around. I still remember, I still remember
the past too, because the defender came to me and
I gave him a nice pass. Let the puck settle
bang he knocked it in. Oh it was a great play.
Oh man, it was a great play.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Shout out to that guy that did the uh the
five finger to the chest Rick Flair style at the
waffle house.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Oh yeah, dude, we're getting some Yeah yeah, there's some
waffle House videos coming out man that are I think
they could be. What I'm saying is no, no, no.
What I'm saying yeah me, what did they tell you
that when I was at the waffle House last weekend? Uh? No,
there's a run of videos like there could be a show.
It could be like it could be like best waffle House. No,
but that would help their bottom line. Yeah, just like
(15:42):
anywhere else. You could have a best McDonald's. You know,

Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon live from the Tyrack dot Com Studios,
where now fourteen minutes between the Florida Panthers and the
Stanley Cup and three outs between Tennessee and the World
Series Championship in college baseball. Jason, what's up, Prosper there's
a mustache? Oh yeah, the dude who was just pitching
(17:30):
for Tennessee. Yeah, Like I almost thought like Chad Powers
was playing, uh Eli Manning and the bit, you know,
with the mustache and everything. Oh yeah, I mean he's
got to be the captain. Oh yeah, he's got the
he's got the beard and the mutton chops and the everything.
Oh yeah, he's Uh, that dude's a throw bat's I mean,
there's no question about it. He looks like you saw
(17:51):
the crowd when he came into the game. I mean yeah,
oh it's yeah. Yeah. It was like kind a little
bit of Pete Vukovic, a little bit of Pete Vukovich
a little bit and they's got the a little bit
of that. Yeah. And I'll tell you what his breaking
stuff was fantastic. Whoof he does his own he gets
after him? Oh yeah, yeah, well he could he could.
(18:11):
I almost expected like if he put the mask on,
he could have been Wyatt, right, like, oh, he takes
a mask off. That's why it okay and the show
can't be any worse, right, Yeah, oh man, I'll tell
you this is uh, this is really fun. And again
Tennessee is three outs away leadoff runner at second. Uh.
(18:33):
Peyton Manning nervous in the stands. Uh. But I did
say all the openings in the NBA have been filled
head coaching wise, I forgot about Detroit. You didn't count
them as a official NBA France. I did say NBA.
So when I said l A and Cleveland, I was right,
say I was even though trading nine and I mean
(18:54):
he put no timetable, no no, no time. I'm trying
to find a new coach. They could start the season
without a coach. It wouldn't surprise me. We're doing we're
doing good. So because I don't think they dismissed the
entire staff, I think they just got rid of money.
We could win eighteen games without a coach, So I mean,
it's it's fine, we don't. We don't just spend money
on a guy until we really find when we up again.
I gotta be honest, I would love to see that
(19:15):
who's in charge. I don't know somebody, you know, we
we spin the bottle for the clipboard. No, we go
from there just way till Isaiah Thomas comes back. That'll
be the way they get Isaiah. No you didn't, Yeah, buddy,
wait a lit because you know that's good. What else
they gonna do? Let's get Isaiah Tom Okay, Isaiah come
on back and coach. All right, he'll sign Jared Jeffries.
(19:36):
It'll be great. Jared Jeffries. There's a name I haven't
heard now, but yes, JJ Reddick is now official. He
is the head coach of the Lakers. He's introducing the
press conference today. And one of the big questions that
JJ Reddick gott was about his podcast. Right, got a
couple of podcasts going on. It's the biggest topic of
all of it. What are you actually gonna do with
(19:58):
the Are you gonna keep doing it? You're gonna keep
your podcast? I mean, Gottleib's keeping his show and he's coaching. Hey,
your show. He's got the what the Three Men and
an Old Lady podcast? Right? I got that one and
in the three Yeah, and the other one he has
with Lebron Yeah. Is he going to keep doing this
while he's the head coach of the Lakers, and this
was his answer from earlier today.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
I am for the time being, and hopefully it's a
very very long time. I am excommunicated from the content space,
so there would be no podcast. We'll do something when
I have a breather from what we have coming up.
I'm gonna be drinking out of a fire hose for
the next month, but at some point we'll just do
(20:39):
something for all the people that listened, and we'll have
a small little video. But I'm done with podcasting for now.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
He and John Wick ex communicado. The bounty at John
Wick seventeen million dollars. This one goes out to John.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Wa Hey, guys, guess where he's not staying in La
Where is he not? It's the Continental?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Nicely done. When they want to fire, he's just got
to put his hand on it and they can't fire him. No,
I'm here. We wanted to fire. You know, I got
my hand on the Continental. Now you'd appreciate how he uh,
what was it content farming or U click farming or
however he termed sure click for me, that sounds like
a game you would play on Facebook. So and so
(21:18):
has invited you to play clickfarming. Oh, I'd love to
play click farming. Great, thanks for that, because that's how
he is. Another game kind of where we're at, right,
I mean, but kind of making fun of the space
that he just lived in for a couple of years
on the way out. Yeah, all of a sudden, I'm
exting me. This is dude, this is how you got
the job, right, this is this is how you got
the of It is how you got the job. It's
certainly not you're coaching act. Which is third. I have
(21:40):
a better resume coaching than he does. I have a
better which means I want him to succeed so I
can manage the Mets in a couple of years. Well
that's here from Gottli. Yeah, I need be here from
Reddick and he got leave to make the tournament. I
need Readick to get the Lakers into the top six
and then I then in about a year and a half. Hey, okay, Jays,
what are you going to do Grimace's handler? Dude, I'd
(22:00):
bring Grimas will be my bench coach. He'll be right
next to me the whole time. Oh yeah, he should
own the team at this point. Well, he's got to
be next to me in the dugouts, so the players
have room to go up and down. Like, Grimace is
a pretty big dude, and I need somebody to go
get me McDonald shakes to bring to the dugout. So
he would be the guy to go, yeah shakes, he'd
be my guy. Where's your respect? You have a zero respect?
(22:20):
What are you talking about? We're in the Yeah, Yeah,
that's that's what people expect Grimace to be. Hey, what's
grimm is gonna do? Like, I'm not gonna have Grimace
coach third base? Others what to do after this the
last two weeks. Listen, I got Grimace is going to
close the next ten days with has being suspended. Yeah,
but you know what, Grimace is a team guy yecause
he's been in the background for a lot of years.
(22:40):
Remember he was introduced as Evil Grimace going all the
way back to nineteen seventy one. Yeah, and then he
was put out the pasture for a while. The commercials
kind of Wayne Ronald McDonald's was then creepy. He wasn't
around much. The Burger King ruled the air waves. Him
and Jack in the box. Right now, all of a sudden,
Grimace has his day in the sun. He's about servitude,
(23:00):
he's about being a man of the people and working
behind the scenes to get another opportunity. I think he'd
be okay with getting Jason a shop.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I sent you the New City Connect, the Med City Connection,
the Grimmas jersey.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Oh, I gotta get I gotta get one of those.
You're kidding, the purple jersey, grimacessists letters. You think went
out for all this Bunco merchandise that's been Oh, I
think McDonald's is just oh wait wait, people are doing
stuff for Grimace. Yeah, let him have it. That's fine.
We'll announce a new sandwich. It'll be it'll be great. Oh,
it'll work for everybody. It'll be all good. Just put
(23:31):
Grimace's picture on the app. So when people come in,
that's great, sign them up. Do a whole thing. Mention Grimace.
When you sid we'll give you a free diet coke
or whatever, not a coke, a diet coke.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
This is.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Up because they'll be the letigious ones because he's wearing
a mets hat every everything you see. But let's look
something a little bit different on JJ Reddick, cause you
know what I told you. I don't think it's gonna
matter because the way the Lakers are. Is he going
to be a culture guy? Is he not? But let
me tell you two things that I give him the
(24:04):
benefit of the doubt for and the opportunity that the
Lakers have right now. Number one is and this and
this is what they need. And part of the reason
why I said it's not really gonna matter because this
Lakers roster is pretty flawed and it's very difficult to
make decisions because of the of what they're butted up in.
Salary wise, Lebron's not going to take less money and
you're still you're still reeling from the Russell Westbrook signing
(24:25):
two years ago. But to here now, every day there's
a couple of players that the Lakers are interested in
that they are talking with other teams about. Colin Sexton's
name came up today. He would be a great shooter
that could come in if they could figure out a
way for that. Zach Levine would be great. You've heard
h about it, You've heard his name for the last
few months, and he's someone. Look if the Bulls are
going to give everybody away, Okay, hey, look lineup for
(24:47):
Zach Levine. So just the fact that it's a new
head coach and it's JJ Reddick, who might have pre
existing relationships that we don't know about. That could be
a good thing because if this helps overhaul the roster. Okay,
that's different from his coaching input, because look, in the NBA,
it's about, look, let's get the talent out there. We'll
figure it out, because it's what the Boston Celtics do
(25:08):
to win championships. We'll get the talent, put it out there,
We'll figure it out. Right, Joe Mizzoola is not some
mastermind every five we're gonna do this this, No, but
if he can bring in enough talent, if he has
the cachet with the modern day player, that's great because
the other part of it is just thinking about a
change in general. Right to your Austin Reeves say and
through his agent, hey can't wait to start working with
(25:29):
j J. Wat we start talking about, I mean, the
guy's a genius. Whatever. Now, I might just be sucking
up because he wants a bigger role and a reclamation
to what he was before this last year, but like
he's glowing recommendations to your point, I mean, Reddick's only
three plus years out of the league. Yeah right, he's
(25:49):
he's turning forty, right, he's his birthday. Yeah, so he's
forty years old. So you still have a lot of
connection and relationship with guys in the league, or you
can you have the onto it to guys that are
recently retired that are you know, it's the two degrees
of separation. So I'll open the door for that that
if he helps bring in talented players that they need, right,
(26:11):
that's a great thing because that's the one thing we
haven't seen the last game. They've not been able to
bring people in, bring in what they need. And sometimes
it's just a change in general. Right, And this is
where I go with with the Austin Reefs part of it. Now,
how excited I am to work with JJ Reddick and
other players, How excited they are because you saw how
bad it was and how much they all just were
done with Darvin ham that it's almost like in Major
(26:32):
League Baseball, when you fire manager in baseball, it's almost
irrelevant who they bring in because it's on the player
so much. Okay, well, hey they just fired our manager.
We're on notice and we didn't like him anyway, So
now whoever comes in everything is great, and that first
year or in that time after firing a manager, Hey
you get an uptick, I'm going to open the door
(26:53):
for the same thing here, just moving out from under
Darvin Ham could be so much of it. It's a
new day in Lakerland that it's okay that it could
be Reddick. It could have been James Barrego, it could
have been anybody that you brought in. Hey, no matter
who we bring in, it's gonna wind up being okay.
So for those two reasons, I look. I said, let's
look at this from the positive thing now, because again
(27:15):
I don't think JJ Reddick can affect the team that
much on the court, But if those are things that
can happen because of him, his relationships with other players,
and just the fact that it's a new voice and
someone that the team doesn't hate, it doesn't matter they
don't like him that first year. Okay, Well, it's not
Darvin Ham telling us stuff that we don't like. It's
not Anthony Davis after a playoff game going we didn't
know what to do. It's none of those things. This
(27:35):
is all new. So those two things, yeah, I'll say
that's something I can look at that I can say
maybe JJ Reddick can work and we can wind up
seeing something. Those are the two things I would point
to to say, all right, maybe maybe that's where things
can turn and the Lakers fortune can turn a little bit. Yeah,
it's the curiosity of it.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Reddick also spoke about the fact that and again do
you buy or sell the legitimacy or reality of it? Say, well,
I hadn't talked to Lebron about the coaching stuff until
this was done, and I talked to him for about
fifteen minutes. I don't know how much you believe that,
but that's what he's going to continue to sell. That
seems to be the company line. Take a bit what
(28:13):
you will, Anthony Davis, the idea of him being on
board with whatever JJ Reddick wants to sell. Right, that's
one of the big question marks that's out there. You
talk about where the roster is, Well, Vanderbilt, Vincent, Cam
Reddish three guys that they expected a lot from. They
were hurt quite a bit this last year. And Vincent
(28:35):
and Vanderbilt were two guys that they expected to be
big forces for them defensively. And I think even going
back to his knixt days waiting for Cam Reddish to
kind of rise up and become a little bit more.
I mean, he's still really young in the grand scheme
of things, but now it's time to push forward. Dejontain
Murray's name has come up a couple of times. You know,
(28:56):
whether Atlanta is going to do a full sell. They're
actually you know Mark Stein who joins us on the
show talking about mom, maybe Atlanta is making a deal
to go and get the you know, for the Spurs
to beat move up to number one. I mean, there's
a lot of potential chaos here over these next couple
of days and as we enter free agency. But for
jj Reddick, like I know, it's it's hot. Take theater
(29:18):
and you got to decide whether he's he's the worst
thing in the world or the best or take all
sorts of other side storylines along with it. Can it work? Sure?
Can he keep Lebron James and Anthony Davis healthy for
seventy plus games? Again that if he's magical and can
do that for a second straight year, he stands a
(29:38):
pretty good shot to at least be in the mix.
Exit out about a Fresco exit swelling down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carment So a
little zigo. You think I'm gonna zeg those two things,
I'm telling you those two things are big. Not really
relying on him and what he would do as a
head coach, but what he could do as a head
coach to help the product get better on the floor.
This year The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
(30:01):
Mike Harmon Love from the Tirak dot com Studios coming
up next. Yes, we'll get into the story the sticky stuff.
I've not been avoiding it. We've just had a lot
of stuff to get the stickiest of the ichy. We'll
get to the sticky stuff. And again I'm gonna zig
where you think I'm gonna zag. It's coming up next
right here, Jason and Mike. This is Fox Sports Radio.

Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon live from the tirag dot com studios where
the Florida Panthers are three and a half minutes away
from the Stanley Cup. A lot of action in front
of the Oiler's net or from the Panthers net. A
couple of minutes ago, however, was cleared out, icing three
(31:19):
and a half to go, Probably a couple of time
out skeep McDavid fresh as the Oilers have one last
gasp towards Notice they keep tying the game, putting that
ticker up of how much his ice time is At
this point, it's like they're haunting it, like look at
what he's done now, Like ice time has become the
big metric that we need to add to every graphic now.
So we'll have more on this game coming up in
(31:40):
a few minutes. Again, still three and a half minutes
left to go, Panthers up two to one. Uh, but yes,
Edwin Diaz because the Mets can't bleep and have nice things,
Taylor Swift saying about, uh, you break them, she takes
them away. Now Mets are playing great. The Grimace everything's awesome,
And Edwin Diaz doesn't throw pitch against the Cubs last
(32:01):
night and gets thrown out of the game because of
having too much sticky substance on his hands. You saw
the pictures. It looked like it was Some of it
looked like it was purple, almost like what did you do?
I touched Grimace and he healed me, and I didn't
know what happened. Do you see the light? I really
what I says it It looks like I healed You.
Go out there and pitch. Go out there and pitch.
(32:23):
Uh you know, look, Grimace needs a showerm Grimace is
now closing for the Mets in the in the next
good form.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So today he gets officially suspended. He said it was
just sweat and rows. And first thing I'm gonna say
is this, I am done hearing the sweat and rows
and excuse from pictures. Now it's very quickly gotten to
the point where I'm sick of here, Like I'm sick
of hearing players say I didn't know what illegal steroid
was in that supplement when I took it. Like I'm
done hearing we're trying to have a kid. I'm done,
(32:51):
we're trying to have a kid. I'm done with all that.
I'm done. I'm done with that. And now I'm done
with the sweat and rosin. I'm done with sweat and
rosin and you got hacked. I'm done with the three
got to be done with sweat and rows because look,
as the umpire said, look, we do these thousands of times.
Did they want to throw Edwin Diaz out of the game? No,
this was something way more than that, and we had
to throw him out. Okay again, when you see the discoloration,
(33:13):
how much was on his hand, I'm like, yeah, I mean, gremas,
what did you dotted? Playing? He had taken a fall
and it was bruising. I was trying to pitch through it,
you know. And and look, and here's the part where
I said where you think I'm gonnazig instead of zagging,
because am I concerned that of the eight pitchers now
that have been suspended for sticky stuff. Three of them
have been Mets. Yeah, a little bit. But for Diaz,
(33:37):
I could easily see this because he is a guy
that is a confidence pitcher, and when he is not
going well, it's because he doesn't have his confidence, doesn't locate
his pitch as well. Maybe he telegraphs him a little bit,
but he is a confidence guy. When he is confident,
no one touches him. When he's not confident, he gets
hit and lit up all across the yard. He went
through that stretch earlier this year. Right, he blew four
(33:59):
games in a row. Oh my goodness. But could I
see him, Hey, a little bit more stuff on my hands.
All pitchers used to keep a better grip on the ball.
Could I see him going a little overboard? Because hey,
I got to get my mojo back, and now that
I've got it back, I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with this.
Then I'm gonna stick with this and see how it goes.
And I went a little overboard. And because they checked
(34:21):
me before I started pitching, the stuff was really sticky,
and it was it was very difficult for me for
them to do that because sometimes I check when they finished. Hey,
they check when you're there and I could see it.
I could see it happening. Not saying I know, but
could I see this? And this is what's going on
with you guys because of his confidence that this is
what happened. Yeah, I can absolutely see that. I'm gonna
take a page from your book. The preponderance of evidence
(34:43):
says they're a bunch of systematic cheaters and it's about
time they've had their come up. It's one after another.
Does that sound familiar, sure, jets Fanner. But in the end,
I get it, the confidence, but it's also just natural
order from your kids, and they're boundary testing with you
as a parent. All Right, what's the thing that's really
(35:04):
gonna tick mom or dad or grandma or grandpa off
or whoever's sitting you know, babysit or whatever? What can
I get away with? And it's the raptors testing the
fence and Jurassic Park, where's the weakling? What am I
gonna do? Or you're playing any sport, right, you're gonna
try to push the boundaries, especially the physicality. Basketball and
soccer are the two that I think we would stand
(35:25):
out most. All right, they're gonna let some physicality play
go in the low post. We're gonna get to see,
you know, a little bit of action that way where
we're not gonna have a quick whistle and everybody moves
on same thing here, all right. We all stipulate that
there's gonna be some level of pine tar rosin whatever
that's that's gonna find its way to your hand, and
(35:47):
then it just becomes the how far we go? Just
like you when you when you have a bat, right,
how far up does the the handle does the pine
tar go? Right now, we're getting into a level of
silliness that's helping me hit because it's you know, six
inches above where my hands are on the bet. But hey,
we've seen dumber things ruled. So in this case, yeah,
(36:08):
I mean you push the boundaries and see where the
suspension line is. Unfortunately, it's ten games. It's not one.
It's not one miss series. It's it's a ten game bump.
But you know what, you get to test other closers
in the interim again. Oh, not that you hadn't done
that already, sure, and especially let's do it in the subway.
So we played the team with the best one and
(36:28):
our Crosstown Riders big time in here for the Yankees.
That's all We'll do it. You get thrown out during
a yank Now game, No looks that you saw someone
off and then throw a bad at him. I need
nothing like that. No, let's get suspended before it. He
got suspended. I could see it. I can't make an
excuse for it because when you look at his hand,
you're saying, what the hell is going on? But I
mean it, if the purple stuff was Grimace's fault, then
(36:49):
you know what, there's gonna there's gonna be hell to
pay in the I know the Grimace era is the
Grimace era, but there's gonna be hell to pay if
that happens. Man, maybe just eight pie before he came
to the Mound exit. How about a Fresco exit swollen Dome.
