should be. Harman, I believe he's landing in London by now.
I think he has. I think he's in London.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I think the flight is longer than this, No, what
three hours?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
No? No, but he left it like noon today, So
I think he's in London. I think he's there. Yeah,
I'm pretty sure he is. Maybe not walk into his
gate in La with that jaunty hannay to make it. No,
I believe he's there by. It might not be though,
(01:26):
you never know. I don't know. I don't know. Do
you pick up time going over the ocean or no?
Do you pick up time going to London? Do you
pick up time coming back? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
What do you mean pick up time? It's tomorrow there already.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, that's true. I mean, but I mean, like you know,
when you fly from one end of the country the next,
you lose you know, you gain him time.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
That's asia.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
No, I just get like, you know, hey, you know
instead of four and a half hours, our flight is
going to be three forty nine because we're picking up
the winds they're pushing us. You know, I want if
if if you get that going across the pond, is
they no, it is six a m there in London.
I believe really, Oh that I could text him, Hey,
how's the call that it was a flight because I'm
he slept well. Oh no, he always says, oh I
(02:04):
sleep great on the flight. Oh no, no, no, I
sleep great in the flight. I sleep great. I sleep
Oh yeah, I sleep great long, just out all the time. Yeah,
I sleep great. Yeah, apparently the only plays I can
get sleep. I sleep great on the flight. It's like
a cartoon character when he says that, So I sleep
right on the flight.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
So he should be just like Wayne Newton in Vegas
and park a plane in his backyard.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And then just go to sleep out there. He just
gets him good sleep, just picturing him with the eyemask
on and the and the big purple hat over his
head and he's just laying their arms out snoring.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Oh yeah, he should get an elbow in the ribs
from all the neighbors.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Again, Well, we'll know because I'm sure he'll text when
he lands, because he's he's already texted me a couple
of times, and I think from the plane really, so yeah, yeah, yeah, no,
I gotta so that.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
The whole airplane mode thing is a myth.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Well, you know the thing is, now, sometimes they you
can text, sometimes you can't. It's kind of haphazard.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Sometimes you cause an airplane crash with you texting.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And sometimes you know, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
You think he's in the cockpit, you think he's flying
the plane.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
They're all on instruments night like Kareem nineteen eighty reference there. Listen,
you tried draggon Waltland near up the court for forty
eight minutes to night. Tell me how your old man does.
Uh So, Night two of the NBA Draft, or really
Day two of the NBA Draft was today started at
nine am and it was over at nine forty five.
(03:28):
If you tried to find it on TV, was very difficult.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
So it's longer than the Harmon flight. Yeah, I mean
four o'clock.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I get there. I mean, I don't know why four
o'clock was. Maybe because of the debate tonight people wanted
to side. But okay, I think if I want to
watch a debate, I'll watch debate. If I wanted to
watch a draft, I'll watch the draft. I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna watch the draft.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
But no, nonyone's gonna be tuning in to watch Aeriel
hook Party being taken in the second round.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
No, no, no, no. And look, and clearly after the
debate tonight, there is one choice, me and Grimace like
that's that's that's what wins.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Probably not Ariel because he's apparently lost his voice.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
And I don't know if you know this. I was
listening to it very carefully. The debate here, we have
the volume up the whole time. Okay, and those guys
agreed on only one thing all night, the whole night.
They agreed on something. Okay, Well, Burl, what.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Is the sound of two hands clapping? Yeah, we'll have
more on that coming up in a few minutes. But
I mean, seriously, if I ran with Grimace as my
running mate, I think I would win.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
But Jason, he's a bigger deal than he's ever been.
He you're you're like his running mate?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
No? But yeah, but here's the thing. I speak. I
speak more than Grimace does.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Grimace is more eye candy. And look, people would spend
more time loving him. And if they didn't like some
of my polishies or ideas, they would still vote because
they like Grimace.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
What you can do punch Grimace? He is the color
of candy. Also, by the way, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It can't be your VP, though, Why can it be?
Because he's a big deal you know he listen. Because
here's what I can do. I'm at Department of Agriculture head.
If I written no, no, no, I got hit here,
here's what I would do.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
People would take you out right away so that he
would be present.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I would say, we gotta have you can either step
aside or it's like in the in the Season of
the Boys, they're openly talking about when we kill the
president so you can become president. Okay, great, one of
them want a superhero to become president is look as
I would run, and I would say, okay, my longtime
platform of I'll make gas and milk under two dollars
a gallon. All right, so I have I have parents,
(05:34):
and I have everybody who drives a car. That's pretty good. Right,
that's pretty good. Right. Then I say, hey, all right,
then there's gonna be and those.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Who believe in fantasy you'll have their vote to it.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Then my opponents will say, oh, you don't want this guy.
All he does is talk about the Mets and the
Jets and the Knicks and blah blah blah blah blah.
And I would say, hey, okay, you don't like that.
But what if what if I made a rule that
every time the Jets win on Sunday, the nation is
off from work in school on a Monday. Oh nights
are exempt. No, No, we can't do during the week.
(06:04):
It's too tough. But Sunday night, you know, Sunday night.
I mean it's only three days a year, but still
Jets win on a Sunday off on a Monday. Suddenly
people are watching those Jets games Sunday. And here the
national game again. It's the Jets and the Patriots to
two and twelve teams. But we could have a play
(06:25):
off tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
You're not that far off because I remember when a
certain team in New York used to be on primetime
all the time. Dan Dierdorf was one of the analysts
for Monday Night Football back then. He's on Letterman Show
to plug the.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Game, and near the end of the interview, ready.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
To plug the game, Letterman says, so who's on Monday
Night Football this week? Giants and who?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Because that was kind of the case. But I mean,
everybody would watch the Jets suddenly that Jets are America's team.
I like being off on Hey, the Jets have a
three game win stream. I've been off the last three Monday.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Social media life all things is gonna kill this.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And but then I go on to the top with this.
Grimace is my vice president. You saw what he did
for the Mets just by throwing out the first ball.
He energized the team and a fan base. If your
city is having trouble with anything, baseball, education, down whatever, infrastructure,
I'll send Grimace to throw out the first pitch of
(07:23):
the game, and that will solve everything. But wait, don't
you have a problem. You give us money. No, Grimace
throws out the first pitch. That's all you need. Everything
will solve itself.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
That's ironic because after the debates tonight, Grimace is really
the reaction of most of the country.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Take current choices. So why not and listen. Republicans are red,
Democrats are blue. Man, what's Grimace? He's purple. He's the
great uniter. He's the great uniter. This is what the
country needs. I mean, not the McDonald's menu, which no
doubt will be pushed. It's going to be part of
your platform. Oh yeah, that would Yeah. I would have
to fire all the cooks in the White House and
(07:59):
say we're sorry, we're just having McDonald's. It would be
like that Devanta Adams commercial where he's got taco bell
in his house. In the house, I would, yeah, just
walk downstairs McDonald's. That's right here. Do I really have
to work nine to five. Jason can walk in and
order food at any time. You have to be ready.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
You sound like the kid who's running for junior High
president and promises Coca Cola in the drinking fountains.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Come on, Jason didn't go to junior High. No, come on, man,
that would be die coke. But Dike over the drinking fountains.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
That's right, because after all, the McDonald's would be the best.
The diet coke really balances it out drinking fountains.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Diet coke.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I just had three thousand calories, but it's a diet coke.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Jason, how many are we talking to day? If you
had your own fountain die coke, yeah, Oh, I would
just go there and like every time I would get
up in.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
The couch, he would bathe in it like a hot
summer in the park. Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I don't know, man, I don't know four leaders. Maybe
I don't know of four. I don't know four leaders
of Dike. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Di coke would cost more than your gasoline.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh, I'll tell you. When we went on this gostly
we went on our first cruise. We took a cruise
Pam and I with our friends about fifteen years ago.
And we get on the cruise and and they offer
you all these things you can pay for. They go,
you can pay for all your alcohol ahead of time.
It's like one hundred dollars a day, and you get
unlimited amount of drinks, all this stuff. It's like, okay, okay.
(09:19):
And then they came in said, and I said, what's
the I can't do anything for other drinks. Oh yeah, yeah,
we have it right here on the back. And I
look and it was unlimited. You buy a card and
it's unlimited soda for the entire trip. I go, so,
how much is a card for unlimited soda?
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Go?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
It's twenty dollars. I go, it's twenty dollars. And I
can get a diet coke anytime I want to. Yeah,
just stop away, I go. I go. I'm sorry, but
you're going to be bankrupt before this cruise comes back in.
I'm buying this right now. It's like, oh my god,
you're kidding every time about take a diet coke, die coke,
diet coke, die coke.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
The negative is that by the end of the week,
you are shall we say, circular and rolling.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Off the edge into the ocean. That was the best trip.
It's now the die coke thank you right by. The
crew sucked, but the poor was amazing. Man, come up, Oh,
it was so good trip drip like like midnight. Hey,
can I get a die cock? Yeah? Sure, I'll bring
it right out to you, sir. It was so great.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You remember anything else at the trip? I remember that
the pays a thousand bucks for a cruise, and remembers
the twenty dollars coke card.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
The utter joy of getting that card. I wanted to
frame it at the end, going can I just get one?
I want to get one more because you got one
more before I go, Ok, I get one more of
one more? Do you have any left? I think, I
think because it's not a punch.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Card you never run out of.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's just you hold it like you hold it like
it's like like John Belushi holding up the card in
uh in Blues Brothers. I'm the good old the good
old Blues boys. Brother's pan h And he holds up
the card that holds it a pack of cigarettes. Yeah,
I got my card right here. Yeah? Oh can I
see your card? Certain? Yah, it's right here. Oh all right,
we'll bring you that die.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Code and then you're a bagg of donuts, and.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
No, I wish I had a donut card too. But
the die coke, with that die coke was enough. Like
it was. I get out of the room in the morning,
nine o'clock walking by, Hey can I get a die coke? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Sure, sure, so we'll bring it right once you made
the blushi reference, I thought you would have the little
chocolate Donuts Breakfast of champions.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Let me guess, Jason, Rob Parker was behind you with
an l cup.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Jace, let me get it, get a refill when it comes,
just pour it my cup, and then you can get
a new one because you have that card, right, all right,
that's how it goes.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That was I mean really well, rubs rubs beef with
the local fast food. Is that it would only take
about five sodas to be twenty dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yes, that's true. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I know
I drank it. Lee, I don't know a thousand dollars
worth of die coke those four days. How are you
still alive? That was just the best man, that was.
I don't remember anything, really, I don't remember a lot
from that cruise, but I remember that I remember I
remember the die coke that was the cruise was like
Hawaii too, so good. It was so good. No, I
(11:48):
think it was he may as well have gone in
a circle off Long Beach and just come back.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
No, we went to en Sonata was where it was Sonata? No,
I remember going, well, I remember where we're go. We
bought the.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Actually stepped foot off the boat into another country.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, I said, does my diet card work on land? Okay, great,
thank you, I appreciate.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
We took one of those cruises to Ensinada and we
thought we would get a little tour around the city.
And there was a cart that was being driven. It was, boy,
it was not safe. It was it was.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
It was.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Once we got going in this I did not feel
good being in traffic. It was it was like a
leftover that used to have a horse in front of it. Okay,
and now now it had kind of like half a horse,
a mini horse.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
In front of half a horse.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
So we're going through towns and the lady who was
driving the mini horse still had her kid in tow,
and she was a tour guide and she didn't speak
much English, but we would pass a seven eleven and
she would point and say seven eleven, and then whatever
(12:52):
store they would pass, she would just read the title.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Oh so you knew it was like you couldn't see
it on the way down. Seven eleven was the tour?
Oh I'm kidding that was that?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Was it? Then?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
So they showed you seven to eleven.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
No, they showed whatever was on the street, Steve, that's
what Jason does on vacation with McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Those are his landmark. Sure you do. You make a
left of McDonald's right here that you make a ride
at Starbucks and you go down to McDonald's all the
way down at the end the other McDonald's. Then you
get to the end of the end of that street
and then you turn around. It that's burger king. You
turn around and come back the other way. Do not
try and take a left on the boulevard and a
horse card.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I'm just telling you. I thought I was gonna be
on the news that night.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Really, it was like the cart Chas and left Indiana
Jones movie with Phoebe Bridgards from.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
That not quite that bad, but yes, distractive, Jason, when
you realize that car didn't work on land in another country,
the dick basically did the Grandpa Simpson.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
How much. Yeah, I'm back in the week, right back
to can we can we go back on the ship now.
I really got to get back to the ship. I
need a diet coke. I need that coke. I felt
weird because I'm like, I don't want to pay for
a die coke off the ship. Why should I? I mean,
I've just been drinking die coke. I've been mainlining it
for the last couple of days. Now I'm finally I
should not have to pay for a die because they
use like real sugar cane down in Mexico. Oh, it
was so man that.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
We do sell those Mexican sodas in the local stores.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oil.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I love getting Mexican cokes. Yeah, they're really really good bottle.
Then yeah, there wasn't the really thin botty, but like
drinking them is tough because the neck of the bottle
is so it's so much smaller. Mak.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I'm like, I'm like, okay, I thought that was going
to British accent. Just trying to drink one of those
Mexican cokes. It's just post just drink around.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
When Harmon comes back, is he going to have a
British accent.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Oh, I hope not. Is he here after July fourth?
He said, yes, yes, I'm here till till the third,
and then Harmon comes back.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Over for you and I are apparently on Monday night
during the Well we'll see what happens with US men's
soccer on Monday.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yes, but then Harmon after the home you and I
will be working on Monday. Greg Burholter might not be Yes,
what didn't I tell them? 's not coming back. He's
working for Fox Sports Radio London. Now he's gonna, he's
gonna he'sna be breaking down cricket, Yeah, cricket and the
Spice Girls. This is why this is there. Uh so,
(15:12):
all right, Well, because we got to know that story
about the Die Cokes. I'm sorry, but I just got
all on my head at Die Cox you did. But
we have big stuff coming off, the big epic fail
of the US men's national team earlier today and the
big crazy takeaway from Brownie James getting drafted by the Lakers.
It's so insane you just have to believe it. That's
(15:33):
next right here. This is Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Hey, what's up, everybody?
Speaker 5 (15:50):
It's me three time Pro Bowl of LeVar Harrington, and
I couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called
Up on Game? What is Up on Game? You asked,
along with my pro bowler TJ. Hutschman, Zada and Super
Bowl champion. Yep, that's right, Plexico Burris. You can only
name a show with that type of talent on it.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Up on Game.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
We're going to be sharing our real life experiences loaded
with teachable moments. Listen to Up on Game with me
Lebar Arrington, TJ. Hutschman, Zada, and Plexico Burrs on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
From Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with special
delivery Steve to Sager in for Mike Harmon and we'll
get to the epic fail of the US men's national
team coming up in a few minutes. But uh, you know,
I think we're all surprised today Day two of the
NBA Draft, not that the Lakers took Brownie James at
(16:50):
fifty five, which, oh, by the way, I can be
an NBA insider because I told you, no one else
is gonna take him. They're gonna be scared off by
clutch sports. No one's gonna want to upset Rich Paul
and the Lakers to make him at fifty five. I
can be an NBA insider. Well, I didn't know that
it was actually gonna be we're gonna try to scare
you off. As during the ESPN pre show, we saw
(17:12):
reports from ESPN that, and Bob Myers was the guy
who was saying it. Former Warriors GM that Rich Paul
had been calling teams telling them to not draft Bronnie
James and if they drafted Brownie he was going to
play in Australia next year. The only two teams he
didn't talk about that with was the Suns and the Lakers,
(17:33):
the only two teams he worked out with. So apparently,
if the Suns or the Lakers wanted to draft Bronnie James,
he was okay with that.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
And they were drafting fifty five and fifty six.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yes, so if we don't take him here, you can
take him here.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I get the flex that Rich Paul is trying to
put out there with this. I understand that. But I
have a hard time believing that teams heard this and
didn't just impedately laugh and dismiss it. Yeah that's fine,
he's not even on our board, or yeah we were
thinking about taking him anyway. Okay, but but Bob Myers
(18:09):
brought it like Rich Paul was like, hey, Australia is
a real destination if you pick my guy. Right now,
Rich Paul's calling teams, don't take Ronnie James.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
He's telling him do not take him, okay, saying don't
take him. If you take him, he's going to Australia, Australia.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I mean what.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
He's like Lex Luthor in the first Superman. I just
want Australia, Australia, beachfront property, Australia.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Playing basketball against the Bluey. It's the Lebron James family.
So I'm surprised it wasn't China. He's going to China.
We love China.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
The Wiggles are doing the national anthem. Oh sure it
would have been great. I mean I get this, he
thought this was a flex, but really, how many teams
just heard them go that's a threat. Like that's like
me walk into a restaurant and the host saying to me, hey,
if you order a salad and water, we're throwing you out.
(19:05):
Oh yeah, okay, not worried about it. I'm good, I'm ready,
sait me. I'm ready to eat. I want to die cocin,
a steak or a die coca. I want some pasta cheese.
You order any kind of salad, cobb salad, regular salad,
dinner salad, garden salad. You want some kind of caesar salad,
We're throwing you out. Yeah, no, I understand. I'm ready
(19:28):
to be seated to give him like other things. Oh yeah,
we're not gonna take Brin. Who was gonna take Bronnie
James who was gonna do it? Nobody was. Nobody was
gonna take Browny, who, as a prospect is a risk
in the second round. When you can take a guy
in the second round who's a risk and not have
to worry about everything else that goes along with it,
(19:48):
not have to worry about is Lebron gonna talk about
us not playing as kid? Are we gonna have to
hear about how, hey, Bronni's in the G League and
maybe he should be up there because you know, Lebron
can't help himself, he's gonna want to talk about what
should be going on, and it's kind of all of
our ball type situation. Are we gonna upset Rich Paul,
who's gonna wind up having big clients at some point
because eventually he's got to get somebody else other than
(20:09):
Ad and Lebron because everybody else keeps leaving. Are we
gonna worry? Are we gonna worry about upsetting him and
getting into a whole hornet's nest? You know what? No,
I gotta. I got a feeling. Three quarters of the
league didn't even have Bronnie James on their draft boards.
We're not even gonna take him when and maybe a
handful said, well, if he's available, we'll see maybe if
things go, if we make trades, if we get an
(20:30):
extra second round pick, but I get three quarters league
didn't hap him on their draft board. Yeah, don' worry,
We're not gonna do it. We will let you take
him and let you worry about what's gonna go on
with Bronnie James.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
But he's not notable as a draft prospect anyway from
the basketball standpoint, playing not a full season at usc SO,
less than one season of college basketball total, and he
averaged five points per game, and he comes with that
baggage that you talk about. It's it's kind of like,
in an odd way, it's like not signing Tim Tebow
at the end of his career because you know all
(21:00):
the attention that's gonna come with it. This draft choice
is going to get more attention than any other second rounder.
Second rounders without guaranteed contracts usually get no attention and
sometimes don't even appear at the NBA level.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, it's different if he was a first round talent,
or if he was someone who really had a skill
set that teams would like. As it is now, nobody
really knows what kind of guy he's gonna be, Like,
what does he do. He's smart and he plays defense,
that's okay, and he's athletic. All right, that is that
worth taking a flyer on in the second round. Sure,
but you could take a flyer on a thousand other kids, right,
(21:33):
So if he was a big if he was a
sought after player, then this would be a bigger deal.
Because now you're talking about Rich Paul saying, hey, we
know we have an asset here and we want him
to go to a certain DESTINATIONE hold on, that's not
quite how it works. So the flex here a little
bit of Rich Paul is like, I want to make
it seem like I'm a bigger deal than I am
when most of the league probably just yeah, no problem, Rich,
(21:56):
whatever you say.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
You're talking about draft buddy, who thinks he is the
biggest deal. So as far as the bigger deal than
I am, he thinks he's already at the time sports
not just basketball.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Well, and here's the thing is he does. We got
into this a little bit last night. He does need
to get some bigger clients. You know, he's had a
couple of big ones leave because all his big clients
are now in their thirty they don't have much time left.
Like you even saw with David Falk when he was
the most powerful agent in the game when he had
Michael Jordan. Eventually he lost all his power. Right, the
NBA made some changes and suddenly the power of agents
(22:31):
went away. Guys to the point where they were just
hiring eight lawyers to do their contracts. I'm gonna pay
a lawyer five hundred dollars an hour, and I don't
have to pay a lawyer, you know, eight percent of
whatever I signed for.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
So maybe if somebody famous like bad Bunny, for example,
starts an agency, here's an idea.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
You gotta say like this, you gotta say bad Bonnie,
Bad Bond, say bad bon at the that's I think
that Bonnie Bonnie. That didn't work.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
That worked out about as well as the NFL's court case.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Then, Oh no, I don't know about that. I think
that when you have to pay out four and a
half billion dollars, that's not a great day. That's not
a great day. Appeal. I haven't done that.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
For those who are unaware, this was this was actually
first filed this lawsuit years ago about the NFL and
the pricing of the Sunday ticket package for the out
of market football games. They lost to the tune of
a few billion dollars that they would have to pay out,
which means, assuming it gets trebled and they lose the appeals,
it might be a few hundred million per team having
(23:30):
to pay out.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
And I'll get some of it because I had I
had Direct TV in the last ten years. Yeah, they
were the original distributor there this I didn't how about that,
And you know, Elsa, I would say this as part
of my platform to run for president. Ryker clearly tonight,
I think I can do it. Gas and milk under
two dollars a gallon. Jets win on Sunday Day off
on Monday, Grimmas is my vice president. If your city
(23:52):
is struggling, I send him there and he throws out
the first pitch of the game. All playoff games on
free TV, Yes, and free football for every buddy. Everybody
gets access to all the out of market games. If
I don't want the Bears.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
You know you can.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You can actually ban three teams from your television.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Yes, Jets, Bears.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Boy who's been banned the most? Well, I did. Nobody
wants to watch. But you want to watch the Jets though,
because if the Jets win, you know, you're off on Monday.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
The thing that the NFL was trying to get around is, hey,
decades ago, there was a Sportscasting Acts through Congress and
and you can't regulate us.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
And they said, hold on, hold on a minute.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
You're talking about over the market games that are out
of market, games that are on this cable satellite package
that the public broadcast. It's not public broadcasting, these not
over the year channels. You're talking about exactly how does
this apply? That probably didn't help them in the case.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
You know, no, oh, oh you should have.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
We should have talked about it before. See the kids
today grow up. They think all the channels are the same.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
No, and they think everybody knows everything. All the lawyers
are so smart. Sam Waterston, he knows everything. We should
have had him up there, he'd have won that case
for us. Well.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
With fist pounding on the table, the NFL says it
will challenge today's verdict.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Hey, how long can we push out sending out money
on this?
Speaker 3 (25:12):
It took almost a decade to come to a conclusion
in this case. How long are the appeals getting?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Get the appeal? Oh, we're there to hear the appeal
in twenty forty nine. Yeah that's fine. Yeah, that's good.
That's all good. That's fine.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Some of the markets will probably change in the NFL
by the time they actually that's.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
That's when Amazon's going to have the entire package. So yeah,
that's great. Great, it'll be perfect because eventually that's what
it'll be. It'll be a streaming giant. Have all the
games now for your president, will get the playoff games.
The record, don't get the playoff games a regular TV
and but ed free football for it. But I'm only
going to serve eight years, so I've already won re election.
But I've already free football for everybody like that. I mean,
how many people are going to vote for me for that?
(25:48):
Here's these great ideas. Now I need really smart people
to figure out, like the business aspect of it, because
I'm the idea guy. So I said, hey, here's my idea.
Can that work? No, okay, make it happen.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
My platform playing for years and I've made this on
the Sunday night show that we do on Super Bowl
year after year, and now people are catching on. Is
the longer the more they expand the regular season, the
longer it takes to finish the postseason, which means the
closer we get to President's Day, which means the holiday
we've all wanted day after super Bowl is coming, because.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Eventually the Super Bowl is going to be in.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Mid February and it will be that the country is
celebrating President's Day the next day anyway.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
But we don't really get a holiday though, we just
get the game before a holiday.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
We'll get the day off.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
We want an extra holiday though, we want, we don't.
We don't want to. We don't want to move it, like, hey,
we're going to play the super Bowl the day before
Memorial Anyway, from the person who knows that you're not
going to get gas under two dollars, I will have
smart people get that. Make that happen. Now, I'll absolutely
have that happen. I'm have to raise prices on other things,
but that's fine.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
All other things.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I know, I won't. I just won't tell people what
the price is raised on. How did you do it?
Don't worry what I mean, how do you do it?
Not to worry about it? I got it. I'm good.
Oh okay, they president from President Smith, don't worry about it.
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
All right.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
That's a humper sticker. Four more years, four more years.
And then I just set it up for Grimace. And
then Grimace runs and I campaign for him, and I go, Grimace, Hey,
here you go, good luck man, get around. You didn't
did a lot. And the thing is my favorite part
of Grimace being vice president. He's gonna come back from
all these ballparks, throwing out first pitches, all the swag
(27:29):
he's gonna bring me. Hey, they wanted to bring something
for the President for sending him in. I'm mean at
all kinds of crazy stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Let's be honest that the bar hasn't been set really
high historically for the office of vice president. So really
I can see that happening, because you really need to
be ceremonial. He's perfect at that. And there are, without
naming names, vice presidents that don't even read the daily briefings,
even though they are theoretically one heart beat away from
(27:55):
leading the free world.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I would have him standing next to me when I
would do some kind of press conference from the Oval Office.
And let's go live to the Oval Office right now,
where President Smith is wearing a Tom Seaver Mets jersey,
flanked of course by his vice President Grimace, who's wearing
the Mets hat with the glove on the wrong hand
that he's been wearing since throughout the first pitch.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Do not let the hamburglar by the Treasury Department, because
with his history that may not be good for the country.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Well, I would try to find a way to get
in the rest of the McDonald land characters to do
like I would make Officer Big Mac like Secretary of Defense,
Deputy mayor mccheese. Yeah, oh oh, Mayor mc cheese might
have to make like Secretary of the Interior or the Exterior.
I don't know one of those.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
So Ronald McDonald, considering two clowns that we've had to
vote for, this.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Would be writing Ronald have to worry about. I think
Ronald would try to get them to rise up against
me like he would be. He would be like my
big critic, and I'd have to worry about Ronald. I
don't think Ronald would like me to taking all the mcdonaldan car.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I would like to see somebody in those shoes giving
a political speech.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Yeah, I'd put the Hamburgler the Supreme Court? Are you kidding?
That would be so great. They're all in the they're
all in the robes. They're all in the robes, and
he's the black and white robe.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
He'd have to take off the mask. We'd finally have
to know.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Uh, Hamburglar. Here's the here's the opposing descent on the ruling.
All right, there was a Hamburgler opposing descent. Here's Supreme
Court people.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Some of them don't have to disclose things, So maybe
maybe he doesn't have to.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Take alo Thomas Kavanaugh Barren Hamburger, and he's got the
mask on. They're taking the photo with all nine of them,
and and and two of them have to tilt their
heads because the hat is so big that it's running
into the Kagan is looking at it side eyed, hands
(29:48):
out hamburgers to people. Thank you, you go, here, you go.
Oh how about we find out what's trending since now
that I've solved the election problem in the country for
the last eight for the next eight years.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
And do nothing but create other problems.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
No, I didn't. I could. I can find money to
pay for you know what. You know, here's my here's
my plan. If we run out of money, I just
make more money. Oh yeah, and like I haven't learned
that in economics. Yes, I have one person who knows
the plan that I swear to secrecy that said, listen,
just make more money and we're fine with McDonald land
characters as the faces. Well, I would go. I would
(30:24):
definitely go back to the McDonald's coupon books that people
could get.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah, McDonald's all time free fries with that, think.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
About it, Like, think about making more money would solve everything.
We just print more money, but we can't.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Why can't wait because money is so valuable now.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
But nobody knows, only me and that one other person
is gonna know. And if it's the Hamburgler, no one's
gonna know what he's gonna be saying.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Any far as weights and measures, we're off the gold
standard and we're onto the quarter pounders.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I go to, I go to wherever they wind up
making money, and I tell them, just print more money.
That's all we gotta do. Get it in the circulation.
But that's gonna devalue out, not if nobody.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Knows Alexander Hamilton is roly. So we have to do
wrapping and rolling. In Copa America tonight in Atlanta, Attendance
was fifty nine thousand, but the US gave up a
goal in the eighty third minute and lost to Panama
two to one. The Americans were playing shorthanded most most
of the night due to a red card eighteenth minute
by Tim Weia. That was no way, uh, that was
(31:20):
a punch to the back of the opponent's head. So
after VIDA review and it was clear it was upgraded
to a red, so Panama wound up with seventy four
percent of the possession. Tonight outshot the US thirteen to six,
with one foul after another from the not terribly skilled
Panamanian side, nineteen fouls to four advantage for them. Goalkeeper
(31:41):
Matt Turner of the US had to leave at halftime
with a bruised leg after an early collision. No card
was given on that play, the loss to Matt Horvath
off the bench. The US all time against Panama was
seventeen and two with seven ties, but a loss to Nights,
and therefore the US will likely need to beat, not
tie beat, first play Uruguay on Monday night to advance.
(32:02):
That game will be on FS one from Kansas City
due to be warm and windy there on Monday. The
US and Panama are tied for second in the group
right now, each with one win and one loss so far,
but Panama gets to play last place Bolivia on Monday
in Orlando. Bolivia lost five to nothing to Uruguay Tonight
in New Jersey, Attendants was forty eight thousand. Uruguay outshot
(32:23):
him eighteen to four. The Lakers drafted Brownie James in
the second round. Duke's Kyle Philipowski went early in round
two to Utah. The Nuggets are reportedly negotiating a four
year extension with guard Jamal Murray. Among tonight's NHL Award
winners MVP from Colorado Nathan McKinnon. The late game in
Major League Baseball went to the Angels five nothing over Detroit,
(32:44):
beating Jack Flaherty allowed three homers in the first five
innings on FS one Kansas City edge Cleveland two to one.
Cincinnati was an eleven to four winner at Saint Louis.
The Cardinal starter Miles Michaelis gave up nine earned runs
in four and a third. Toronto beat the Yankses and
pitcher Carlos Rodon nine to two. George Springer with two
three run homers the wind Jose Burrios Baltimore at home
(33:06):
eleven two over Texas. Corbyn Burns the win over John Gray.
Miami got a seven to four win at Philadelphia, and
Bryce Harper came up limping late in the game. White
Sox beat Atlanta and Chris Sale won nothing on a
solo homer from Luis Robert. Today Minnesota thirteen to six
win at Arizona. Twins in fact led eleven nothing in
the Forest. Jordan Montgomery the loss, and in ten innings
(33:27):
the Cubs won at San Francisco five to three.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Back to you, Thank you, STEVEO, The Jason Smith Show,
Stupe de Sager and for Mike Carbon. Coming up next,
we'll have the last word on the epic fel for
the United States today in the Copamerica. Plus Justin Frossburg
can confirm a Lebron story before TMZ. WHOA, that's next?
Right here? This is Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show. Steve Desaga in
for Mike Harmon your favorite song, Yes, of course, I'm
just gonna have to hear the song every night the
rest of my life. So it goes theater that or
Tears for Fears. Shit, it's enough. We'll have that. Justin Frosberg.
Lebron James special coming up in a couple of minutes.
(34:19):
But to put a final now, the final bow is
Monday Steak in the heart of the United States. Epic
failed today against Panama. Look they lose two to one
and tim Way gets a red card. Eighteen minutes in
the United States has to play with with ten men
for the vast majority of the game. I know that
(34:42):
when we work Monday, everybody's gonna be hate watching. Half
the people are gonna be happy if we win, or
people gonna be happy if we win because we move
on out of group in in Copamerica, or if we
you know, we find a way to move on.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
ATI is not good enough Monday.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
And the other half will be happy because it's gonna
be the end of Greg Burholter's era with the men's
national Fingers crossed, but it you know, look what you
saw today and what you've seen from the men's national team.
It has to be and everything that's going on that's
that's quote wrong with the USMNT is all stems from
the fact that whatever voice Greg Berhalter has, the team
(35:18):
is tuned him out because they're still making too many
mental mistakes that you don't make if you are locked in.
Isn't it five years, it's a long time. And if
they had unbelievable success, yeah, you stick with the coach
because obviously know what they're doing. But you saw that
you've fallen short and you need a new voice. You
need ideas to stay fresh. And the fact that I
(35:39):
still see a team where players are motivated from game
to game, where okay, that's on the coach to motivate
the players. Players shouldn't have to be motivated, shouldn't shouldn't
need this, but that's on the coach. They still make
too many mental mistakes when we give up goals, it's
I have to watch and go. How come the defenders
didn't know who to mark on that play? Like, why
is that happening? That that's something that's practice, that's something
(36:01):
that's film. That's on the head coach. Why do I
see mental mistakes like way of deciding to punch a
player and get a red card when you know, going
in Panama stinks, they're gonna try to beat us up
and be bullies. Don't fall for it. Play our game
and we're gonna win this and we're gonna be able
to move on in the Cope America on Monday. But
(36:21):
instead what happened the United States got caught up playing
a petty game and way it gets gets knocked out
for a punching a player in the back of the head,
which was an easy red card to see. And these
are not hallmarks of players where the coach has what
he wants going on, the coach doesn't have the culture
that he wants because you don't make these mental mistakes,
(36:41):
whether it's a dumb mistake about punching somebody because you
don't listen, or it's I'm still don't know what we're
doing defensively for a play. This is still going on
with the USMNT. And you could talk about strategy and
what Burhalter does and doesn't do, and hey, should he
be playing Balligan, should be playing Peppi Moore like, I
get that, But no matter, that's a type of thing
that no matter what the answer is, if the United
(37:02):
States loses, then Burholter is wrong. But when I see
this from a team, I know that this is not
a guy who was in charge of the program that
has them all being the best version of themselves. We
have too much talent to be a team where I
don't know what our identity is other than get the
ball to Polisic. I don't know what tenets we use
as building blocks to try to win every single game,
(37:23):
and the good teams have that, and he's still trying
to build that six years in.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
This is a great young group that has been together
for years now. And in our lifetimes we've never seen
this many American soccer players playing in the famous leagues
in Europe. Even when Landon Donovan was young and he
signed a go player in Europe, he did nothing but
ride the bench and came back and played a major
league soccer. It's completely different now. However, it's two points
(37:52):
to make about this coach Greg Burholter, who again a
lot of people are hoping after Monday he'll be gone
and US Soccer will wise up because we're co hosting
the next World Cup in two years.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
We're costing the show Monday. We'll be working Monday. Greg
bur Alter might not.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Be It was everybody knew it was going to be
physical against Panama tonight, and in fact, Panama wound up
with nineteen fouls to four advantage, if you want to
call that an advantage. But the other thing is the
bigger picture. The record for the US men since October
is five wins, five losses at a tie. One of
those losses in a two not match this month when
they had to play an actual good team and actual
(38:27):
top twenty squad in Columbia. The US loss five to one.
They're playing another.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Told rama didn't even play in.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
That game, just his hair. The top twenty team they're
facing on Monday night to close out group play is Uruguay,
which beat Panama three to one in its opener. Beat
them Uruguay. I got a five nothing win over last
place Bolivia tonight. And the reason why we say it's
all but written in Penn that a tie is not
good enough come Monday is because guess who Panama gets
(38:55):
to finish up with last place Bolivia on Monday, so
you can probably write in Penn W for them. That
means that it'll be their second win six points. Uruguay
already has two wins six points. The US only has
one win currently.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
You'll see just how much the players want to play
for Greg Burholter by seeing their effort on Monday. If
they come out big, it tells you, hey, maybe we
still want to play for this guy. But if they
come out flat for more than fifteen minutes, because they
had a good fifteen to start, the turn always start
out good. The US always starts out that's the best thing.
They play the best fifteen minutes of any team I've
ever seen, and then it just kind of falls off
(39:30):
from there. But if they if they don't play inspired,
you know that they're Okay, was saying goodbout it.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
And it was only two nothing against Bolivia and the
US opener last weekend and could have easily been three
or four nothing. This is a Bolivia team that over
the years in the Copa America tournament, which is the
South American Championship, normally Bolivia has one victory in its
last thirty two games in this tournament. Bolivia is not
ranked in the top eighty in the world.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
All right, Frostburg, what do you have? What's your Lebron
James story that you can I terrify before TMZ. You're
like an insider, and if I'm wrong about this, we
had a good run. Okay, Wow, Okay, I don't know.
I want to put it all on this, but okay,
we can just blame ty Shirt.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
That's why I can confirm, okay, that Lebron James is
sleeping with his newest teammates.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Mon did when that story got put out and people
already were jumping up and down, going, look at Lebro,
What a horrible story that is? What a bad person like?
Oh wow, that's just people that are ready to hate.
They just wake up for the morning, going I want
to hate something right here.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
There's no thinking involved, So that really is part.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Of the sources.
Speaker 5 (40:40):
The guys.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
One, you made you sure about that? I think we're okay.
You know that my story.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
I had a college professor who said, you can, uh,
you know, my office hours or this, and you sign
up with my wife. She's my secretary. And then he
leaned into the mic and said, I live with my secretary.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
It's kind of like that. You're right, it's lebron James.
It's Bronnie James mom justin Frossburg. NBA Insider. They should
have you on. Did you lock shams out of his
Twitter today? Was that you that did that? Yeah? The

Oh yeah, I sleep great long, just out all the time. Yeah,
I sleep great. Yeah, apparently the only plays I can
get sleep. I sleep great on the flight. It's like
a cartoon character when he says that, So I sleep
right on the flight.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
So he should be just like Wayne Newton in Vegas
and park a plane in his backyard.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And then just go to sleep out there. He just
gets him good sleep, just picturing him with the eyemask
on and the and the big purple hat over his
head and he's just laying their arms out snoring.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Oh yeah, he should get an elbow in the ribs
from all the neighbors.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Again, Well, we'll know because I'm sure he'll text when
he lands, because he's he's already texted me a couple
of times, and I think from the plane really, so yeah, yeah, yeah, no,
I gotta so that.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
The whole airplane mode thing is a myth.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Well, you know the thing is, now, sometimes they you
can text, sometimes you can't. It's kind of haphazard.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Sometimes you cause an airplane crash with you texting.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And sometimes you know, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
You think he's in the cockpit, you think he's flying
the plane.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
They're all on instruments night like Kareem nineteen eighty reference there. Listen,
you tried draggon Waltland near up the court for forty
eight minutes to night. Tell me how your old man does.
Uh So, Night two of the NBA Draft, or really
Day two of the NBA Draft was today started at
nine am and it was over at nine forty five.
(03:28):
If you tried to find it on TV, was very difficult.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
So it's longer than the Harmon flight. Yeah, I mean
four o'clock.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I get there. I mean, I don't know why four
o'clock was. Maybe because of the debate tonight people wanted
to side. But okay, I think if I want to
watch a debate, I'll watch debate. If I wanted to
watch a draft, I'll watch the draft. I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna watch the draft.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
But no, nonyone's gonna be tuning in to watch Aeriel
hook Party being taken in the second round.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
No, no, no, no. And look, and clearly after the
debate tonight, there is one choice, me and Grimace like
that's that's that's what wins.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Probably not Ariel because he's apparently lost his voice.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
And I don't know if you know this. I was
listening to it very carefully. The debate here, we have
the volume up the whole time. Okay, and those guys
agreed on only one thing all night, the whole night.
They agreed on something. Okay, Well, Burl, what.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Is the sound of two hands clapping? Yeah, we'll have
more on that coming up in a few minutes. But
I mean, seriously, if I ran with Grimace as my
running mate, I think I would win.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
But Jason, he's a bigger deal than he's ever been.
He you're you're like his running mate?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
No? But yeah, but here's the thing. I speak. I
speak more than Grimace does.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Grimace is more eye candy. And look, people would spend
more time loving him. And if they didn't like some
of my polishies or ideas, they would still vote because
they like Grimace.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
What you can do punch Grimace? He is the color
of candy. Also, by the way, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It can't be your VP, though, Why can it be?
Because he's a big deal you know he listen. Because
here's what I can do. I'm at Department of Agriculture head.
If I written no, no, no, I got hit here,
here's what I would do.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
People would take you out right away so that he
would be present.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I would say, we gotta have you can either step
aside or it's like in the in the Season of
the Boys, they're openly talking about when we kill the
president so you can become president. Okay, great, one of
them want a superhero to become president is look as
I would run, and I would say, okay, my longtime
platform of I'll make gas and milk under two dollars
a gallon. All right, so I have I have parents,
(05:34):
and I have everybody who drives a car. That's pretty good. Right,
that's pretty good. Right. Then I say, hey, all right,
then there's gonna be and those.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Who believe in fantasy you'll have their vote to it.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Then my opponents will say, oh, you don't want this guy.
All he does is talk about the Mets and the
Jets and the Knicks and blah blah blah blah blah.
And I would say, hey, okay, you don't like that.
But what if what if I made a rule that
every time the Jets win on Sunday, the nation is
off from work in school on a Monday. Oh nights
are exempt. No, No, we can't do during the week.
(06:04):
It's too tough. But Sunday night, you know, Sunday night.
I mean it's only three days a year, but still
Jets win on a Sunday off on a Monday. Suddenly
people are watching those Jets games Sunday. And here the
national game again. It's the Jets and the Patriots to
two and twelve teams. But we could have a play
(06:25):
off tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
You're not that far off because I remember when a
certain team in New York used to be on primetime
all the time. Dan Dierdorf was one of the analysts
for Monday Night Football back then. He's on Letterman Show
to plug the.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Game, and near the end of the interview, ready.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
To plug the game, Letterman says, so who's on Monday
Night Football this week? Giants and who?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Because that was kind of the case. But I mean,
everybody would watch the Jets suddenly that Jets are America's team.
I like being off on Hey, the Jets have a
three game win stream. I've been off the last three Monday.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Social media life all things is gonna kill this.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And but then I go on to the top with this.
Grimace is my vice president. You saw what he did
for the Mets just by throwing out the first ball.
He energized the team and a fan base. If your
city is having trouble with anything, baseball, education, down whatever, infrastructure,
I'll send Grimace to throw out the first pitch of
(07:23):
the game, and that will solve everything. But wait, don't
you have a problem. You give us money. No, Grimace
throws out the first pitch. That's all you need. Everything
will solve itself.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
That's ironic because after the debates tonight, Grimace is really
the reaction of most of the country.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Take current choices. So why not and listen. Republicans are red,
Democrats are blue. Man, what's Grimace? He's purple. He's the
great uniter. He's the great uniter. This is what the
country needs. I mean, not the McDonald's menu, which no
doubt will be pushed. It's going to be part of
your platform. Oh yeah, that would Yeah. I would have
to fire all the cooks in the White House and
(07:59):
say we're sorry, we're just having McDonald's. It would be
like that Devanta Adams commercial where he's got taco bell
in his house. In the house, I would, yeah, just
walk downstairs McDonald's. That's right here. Do I really have
to work nine to five. Jason can walk in and
order food at any time. You have to be ready.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
You sound like the kid who's running for junior High
president and promises Coca Cola in the drinking fountains.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Come on, Jason didn't go to junior High. No, come on, man,
that would be die coke. But Dike over the drinking fountains.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
That's right, because after all, the McDonald's would be the best.
The diet coke really balances it out drinking fountains.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Diet coke.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I just had three thousand calories, but it's a diet coke.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Jason, how many are we talking to day? If you
had your own fountain die coke, yeah, Oh, I would
just go there and like every time I would get
up in.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
The couch, he would bathe in it like a hot
summer in the park. Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I don't know, man, I don't know four leaders. Maybe
I don't know of four. I don't know four leaders
of Dike. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Di coke would cost more than your gasoline.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh, I'll tell you. When we went on this gostly
we went on our first cruise. We took a cruise
Pam and I with our friends about fifteen years ago.
And we get on the cruise and and they offer
you all these things you can pay for. They go,
you can pay for all your alcohol ahead of time.
It's like one hundred dollars a day, and you get
unlimited amount of drinks, all this stuff. It's like, okay, okay.
(09:19):
And then they came in said, and I said, what's
the I can't do anything for other drinks. Oh yeah, yeah,
we have it right here on the back. And I
look and it was unlimited. You buy a card and
it's unlimited soda for the entire trip. I go, so,
how much is a card for unlimited soda?
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Go?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
It's twenty dollars. I go, it's twenty dollars. And I
can get a diet coke anytime I want to. Yeah,
just stop away, I go. I go. I'm sorry, but
you're going to be bankrupt before this cruise comes back in.
I'm buying this right now. It's like, oh my god,
you're kidding every time about take a diet coke, die coke,
diet coke, die coke.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
The negative is that by the end of the week,
you are shall we say, circular and rolling.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Off the edge into the ocean. That was the best trip.
It's now the die coke thank you right by. The
crew sucked, but the poor was amazing. Man, come up, Oh,
it was so good trip drip like like midnight. Hey,
can I get a die cock? Yeah? Sure, I'll bring
it right out to you, sir. It was so great.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You remember anything else at the trip? I remember that
the pays a thousand bucks for a cruise, and remembers
the twenty dollars coke card.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
The utter joy of getting that card. I wanted to
frame it at the end, going can I just get one?
I want to get one more because you got one
more before I go, Ok, I get one more of
one more? Do you have any left? I think, I
think because it's not a punch.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Card you never run out of.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's just you hold it like you hold it like
it's like like John Belushi holding up the card in
uh in Blues Brothers. I'm the good old the good
old Blues boys. Brother's pan h And he holds up
the card that holds it a pack of cigarettes. Yeah,
I got my card right here. Yeah? Oh can I
see your card? Certain? Yah, it's right here. Oh all right,
we'll bring you that die.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Code and then you're a bagg of donuts, and.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
No, I wish I had a donut card too. But
the die coke, with that die coke was enough. Like
it was. I get out of the room in the morning,
nine o'clock walking by, Hey can I get a die coke? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Sure, sure, so we'll bring it right once you made
the blushi reference, I thought you would have the little
chocolate Donuts Breakfast of champions.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Let me guess, Jason, Rob Parker was behind you with
an l cup.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Jace, let me get it, get a refill when it comes,
just pour it my cup, and then you can get
a new one because you have that card, right, all right,
that's how it goes.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That was I mean really well, rubs rubs beef with
the local fast food. Is that it would only take
about five sodas to be twenty dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yes, that's true. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I know
I drank it. Lee, I don't know a thousand dollars
worth of die coke those four days. How are you
still alive? That was just the best man, that was.
I don't remember anything, really, I don't remember a lot
from that cruise, but I remember that I remember I
remember the die coke that was the cruise was like
Hawaii too, so good. It was so good. No, I
(11:48):
think it was he may as well have gone in
a circle off Long Beach and just come back.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
No, we went to en Sonata was where it was Sonata? No,
I remember going, well, I remember where we're go. We
bought the.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Actually stepped foot off the boat into another country.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, I said, does my diet card work on land? Okay, great,
thank you, I appreciate.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
We took one of those cruises to Ensinada and we
thought we would get a little tour around the city.
And there was a cart that was being driven. It was, boy,
it was not safe. It was it was.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
It was.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Once we got going in this I did not feel
good being in traffic. It was it was like a
leftover that used to have a horse in front of it. Okay,
and now now it had kind of like half a horse,
a mini horse.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
In front of half a horse.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
So we're going through towns and the lady who was
driving the mini horse still had her kid in tow,
and she was a tour guide and she didn't speak
much English, but we would pass a seven eleven and
she would point and say seven eleven, and then whatever
(12:52):
store they would pass, she would just read the title.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Oh so you knew it was like you couldn't see
it on the way down. Seven eleven was the tour?
Oh I'm kidding that was that?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Was it? Then?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
So they showed you seven to eleven.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
No, they showed whatever was on the street, Steve, that's
what Jason does on vacation with McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Those are his landmark. Sure you do. You make a
left of McDonald's right here that you make a ride
at Starbucks and you go down to McDonald's all the
way down at the end the other McDonald's. Then you
get to the end of the end of that street
and then you turn around. It that's burger king. You
turn around and come back the other way. Do not
try and take a left on the boulevard and a
horse card.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I'm just telling you. I thought I was gonna be
on the news that night.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Really, it was like the cart Chas and left Indiana
Jones movie with Phoebe Bridgards from.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
That not quite that bad, but yes, distractive, Jason, when
you realize that car didn't work on land in another country,
the dick basically did the Grandpa Simpson.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
How much. Yeah, I'm back in the week, right back
to can we can we go back on the ship now.
I really got to get back to the ship. I
need a diet coke. I need that coke. I felt
weird because I'm like, I don't want to pay for
a die coke off the ship. Why should I? I mean,
I've just been drinking die coke. I've been mainlining it
for the last couple of days. Now I'm finally I
should not have to pay for a die because they
use like real sugar cane down in Mexico. Oh, it
was so man that.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
We do sell those Mexican sodas in the local stores.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oil.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I love getting Mexican cokes. Yeah, they're really really good bottle.
Then yeah, there wasn't the really thin botty, but like
drinking them is tough because the neck of the bottle
is so it's so much smaller. Mak.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I'm like, I'm like, okay, I thought that was going
to British accent. Just trying to drink one of those
Mexican cokes. It's just post just drink around.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
When Harmon comes back, is he going to have a
British accent.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Oh, I hope not. Is he here after July fourth?
He said, yes, yes, I'm here till till the third,
and then Harmon comes back.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Over for you and I are apparently on Monday night
during the Well we'll see what happens with US men's
soccer on Monday.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yes, but then Harmon after the home you and I
will be working on Monday. Greg Burholter might not be Yes,
what didn't I tell them? 's not coming back. He's
working for Fox Sports Radio London. Now he's gonna, he's
gonna he'sna be breaking down cricket, Yeah, cricket and the
Spice Girls. This is why this is there. Uh so,
(15:12):
all right, Well, because we got to know that story
about the Die Cokes. I'm sorry, but I just got
all on my head at Die Cox you did. But
we have big stuff coming off, the big epic fail
of the US men's national team earlier today and the
big crazy takeaway from Brownie James getting drafted by the Lakers.
It's so insane you just have to believe it. That's
(15:33):
next right here. This is Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Hey, what's up, everybody?
Speaker 5 (15:50):
It's me three time Pro Bowl of LeVar Harrington, and
I couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called
Up on Game? What is Up on Game? You asked,
along with my pro bowler TJ. Hutschman, Zada and Super
Bowl champion. Yep, that's right, Plexico Burris. You can only
name a show with that type of talent on it.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Up on Game.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
We're going to be sharing our real life experiences loaded
with teachable moments. Listen to Up on Game with me
Lebar Arrington, TJ. Hutschman, Zada, and Plexico Burrs on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
From Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with special
delivery Steve to Sager in for Mike Harmon and we'll
get to the epic fail of the US men's national
team coming up in a few minutes. But uh, you know,
I think we're all surprised today Day two of the
NBA Draft, not that the Lakers took Brownie James at
(16:50):
fifty five, which, oh, by the way, I can be
an NBA insider because I told you, no one else
is gonna take him. They're gonna be scared off by
clutch sports. No one's gonna want to upset Rich Paul
and the Lakers to make him at fifty five. I
can be an NBA insider. Well, I didn't know that
it was actually gonna be we're gonna try to scare
you off. As during the ESPN pre show, we saw
(17:12):
reports from ESPN that, and Bob Myers was the guy
who was saying it. Former Warriors GM that Rich Paul
had been calling teams telling them to not draft Bronnie
James and if they drafted Brownie he was going to
play in Australia next year. The only two teams he
didn't talk about that with was the Suns and the Lakers,
(17:33):
the only two teams he worked out with. So apparently,
if the Suns or the Lakers wanted to draft Bronnie James,
he was okay with that.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
And they were drafting fifty five and fifty six.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yes, so if we don't take him here, you can
take him here.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I get the flex that Rich Paul is trying to
put out there with this. I understand that. But I
have a hard time believing that teams heard this and
didn't just impedately laugh and dismiss it. Yeah that's fine,
he's not even on our board, or yeah we were
thinking about taking him anyway. Okay, but but Bob Myers
(18:09):
brought it like Rich Paul was like, hey, Australia is
a real destination if you pick my guy. Right now,
Rich Paul's calling teams, don't take Ronnie James.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
He's telling him do not take him, okay, saying don't
take him. If you take him, he's going to Australia, Australia.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I mean what.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
He's like Lex Luthor in the first Superman. I just
want Australia, Australia, beachfront property, Australia.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Playing basketball against the Bluey. It's the Lebron James family.
So I'm surprised it wasn't China. He's going to China.
We love China.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
The Wiggles are doing the national anthem. Oh sure it
would have been great. I mean I get this, he
thought this was a flex, but really, how many teams
just heard them go that's a threat. Like that's like
me walk into a restaurant and the host saying to me, hey,
if you order a salad and water, we're throwing you out.
(19:05):
Oh yeah, okay, not worried about it. I'm good, I'm ready,
sait me. I'm ready to eat. I want to die cocin,
a steak or a die coca. I want some pasta cheese.
You order any kind of salad, cobb salad, regular salad,
dinner salad, garden salad. You want some kind of caesar salad,
We're throwing you out. Yeah, no, I understand. I'm ready
(19:28):
to be seated to give him like other things. Oh yeah,
we're not gonna take Brin. Who was gonna take Bronnie
James who was gonna do it? Nobody was. Nobody was
gonna take Browny, who, as a prospect is a risk
in the second round. When you can take a guy
in the second round who's a risk and not have
to worry about everything else that goes along with it,
(19:48):
not have to worry about is Lebron gonna talk about
us not playing as kid? Are we gonna have to
hear about how, hey, Bronni's in the G League and
maybe he should be up there because you know, Lebron
can't help himself, he's gonna want to talk about what
should be going on, and it's kind of all of
our ball type situation. Are we gonna upset Rich Paul,
who's gonna wind up having big clients at some point
because eventually he's got to get somebody else other than
(20:09):
Ad and Lebron because everybody else keeps leaving. Are we
gonna worry? Are we gonna worry about upsetting him and
getting into a whole hornet's nest? You know what? No,
I gotta. I got a feeling. Three quarters of the
league didn't even have Bronnie James on their draft boards.
We're not even gonna take him when and maybe a
handful said, well, if he's available, we'll see maybe if
things go, if we make trades, if we get an
(20:30):
extra second round pick, but I get three quarters league
didn't hap him on their draft board. Yeah, don' worry,
We're not gonna do it. We will let you take
him and let you worry about what's gonna go on
with Bronnie James.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
But he's not notable as a draft prospect anyway from
the basketball standpoint, playing not a full season at usc SO,
less than one season of college basketball total, and he
averaged five points per game, and he comes with that
baggage that you talk about. It's it's kind of like,
in an odd way, it's like not signing Tim Tebow
at the end of his career because you know all
(21:00):
the attention that's gonna come with it. This draft choice
is going to get more attention than any other second rounder.
Second rounders without guaranteed contracts usually get no attention and
sometimes don't even appear at the NBA level.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, it's different if he was a first round talent,
or if he was someone who really had a skill
set that teams would like. As it is now, nobody
really knows what kind of guy he's gonna be, Like,
what does he do. He's smart and he plays defense,
that's okay, and he's athletic. All right, that is that
worth taking a flyer on in the second round. Sure,
but you could take a flyer on a thousand other kids, right,
(21:33):
So if he was a big if he was a
sought after player, then this would be a bigger deal.
Because now you're talking about Rich Paul saying, hey, we
know we have an asset here and we want him
to go to a certain DESTINATIONE hold on, that's not
quite how it works. So the flex here a little
bit of Rich Paul is like, I want to make
it seem like I'm a bigger deal than I am
when most of the league probably just yeah, no problem, Rich,
(21:56):
whatever you say.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
You're talking about draft buddy, who thinks he is the
biggest deal. So as far as the bigger deal than
I am, he thinks he's already at the time sports
not just basketball.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Well, and here's the thing is he does. We got
into this a little bit last night. He does need
to get some bigger clients. You know, he's had a
couple of big ones leave because all his big clients
are now in their thirty they don't have much time left.
Like you even saw with David Falk when he was
the most powerful agent in the game when he had
Michael Jordan. Eventually he lost all his power. Right, the
NBA made some changes and suddenly the power of agents
(22:31):
went away. Guys to the point where they were just
hiring eight lawyers to do their contracts. I'm gonna pay
a lawyer five hundred dollars an hour, and I don't
have to pay a lawyer, you know, eight percent of
whatever I signed for.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
So maybe if somebody famous like bad Bunny, for example,
starts an agency, here's an idea.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
You gotta say like this, you gotta say bad Bonnie,
Bad Bond, say bad bon at the that's I think
that Bonnie Bonnie. That didn't work.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
That worked out about as well as the NFL's court case.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Then, Oh no, I don't know about that. I think
that when you have to pay out four and a
half billion dollars, that's not a great day. That's not
a great day. Appeal. I haven't done that.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
For those who are unaware, this was this was actually
first filed this lawsuit years ago about the NFL and
the pricing of the Sunday ticket package for the out
of market football games. They lost to the tune of
a few billion dollars that they would have to pay out,
which means, assuming it gets trebled and they lose the appeals,
it might be a few hundred million per team having
(23:30):
to pay out.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
And I'll get some of it because I had I
had Direct TV in the last ten years. Yeah, they
were the original distributor there this I didn't how about that,
And you know, Elsa, I would say this as part
of my platform to run for president. Ryker clearly tonight,
I think I can do it. Gas and milk under
two dollars a gallon. Jets win on Sunday Day off
on Monday, Grimmas is my vice president. If your city
(23:52):
is struggling, I send him there and he throws out
the first pitch of the game. All playoff games on
free TV, Yes, and free football for every buddy. Everybody
gets access to all the out of market games. If
I don't want the Bears.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
You know you can.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You can actually ban three teams from your television.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Yes, Jets, Bears.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Boy who's been banned the most? Well, I did. Nobody
wants to watch. But you want to watch the Jets though,
because if the Jets win, you know, you're off on Monday.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
The thing that the NFL was trying to get around is, hey,
decades ago, there was a Sportscasting Acts through Congress and
and you can't regulate us.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
And they said, hold on, hold on a minute.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
You're talking about over the market games that are out
of market, games that are on this cable satellite package
that the public broadcast. It's not public broadcasting, these not
over the year channels. You're talking about exactly how does
this apply? That probably didn't help them in the case.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
You know, no, oh, oh you should have.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
We should have talked about it before. See the kids
today grow up. They think all the channels are the same.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
No, and they think everybody knows everything. All the lawyers
are so smart. Sam Waterston, he knows everything. We should
have had him up there, he'd have won that case
for us. Well.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
With fist pounding on the table, the NFL says it
will challenge today's verdict.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Hey, how long can we push out sending out money
on this?
Speaker 3 (25:12):
It took almost a decade to come to a conclusion
in this case. How long are the appeals getting?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Get the appeal? Oh, we're there to hear the appeal
in twenty forty nine. Yeah that's fine. Yeah, that's good.
That's all good. That's fine.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Some of the markets will probably change in the NFL
by the time they actually that's.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
That's when Amazon's going to have the entire package. So yeah,
that's great. Great, it'll be perfect because eventually that's what
it'll be. It'll be a streaming giant. Have all the
games now for your president, will get the playoff games.
The record, don't get the playoff games a regular TV
and but ed free football for it. But I'm only
going to serve eight years, so I've already won re election.
But I've already free football for everybody like that. I mean,
how many people are going to vote for me for that?
(25:48):
Here's these great ideas. Now I need really smart people
to figure out, like the business aspect of it, because
I'm the idea guy. So I said, hey, here's my idea.
Can that work? No, okay, make it happen.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
My platform playing for years and I've made this on
the Sunday night show that we do on Super Bowl
year after year, and now people are catching on. Is
the longer the more they expand the regular season, the
longer it takes to finish the postseason, which means the
closer we get to President's Day, which means the holiday
we've all wanted day after super Bowl is coming, because.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Eventually the Super Bowl is going to be in.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Mid February and it will be that the country is
celebrating President's Day the next day anyway.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
But we don't really get a holiday though, we just
get the game before a holiday.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
We'll get the day off.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
We want an extra holiday though, we want, we don't.
We don't want to. We don't want to move it, like, hey,
we're going to play the super Bowl the day before
Memorial Anyway, from the person who knows that you're not
going to get gas under two dollars, I will have
smart people get that. Make that happen. Now, I'll absolutely
have that happen. I'm have to raise prices on other things,
but that's fine.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
All other things.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I know, I won't. I just won't tell people what
the price is raised on. How did you do it?
Don't worry what I mean, how do you do it?
Not to worry about it? I got it. I'm good.
Oh okay, they president from President Smith, don't worry about it.
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
All right.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
That's a humper sticker. Four more years, four more years.
And then I just set it up for Grimace. And
then Grimace runs and I campaign for him, and I go, Grimace, Hey,
here you go, good luck man, get around. You didn't
did a lot. And the thing is my favorite part
of Grimace being vice president. He's gonna come back from
all these ballparks, throwing out first pitches, all the swag
(27:29):
he's gonna bring me. Hey, they wanted to bring something
for the President for sending him in. I'm mean at
all kinds of crazy stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Let's be honest that the bar hasn't been set really
high historically for the office of vice president. So really
I can see that happening, because you really need to
be ceremonial. He's perfect at that. And there are, without
naming names, vice presidents that don't even read the daily briefings,
even though they are theoretically one heart beat away from
(27:55):
leading the free world.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I would have him standing next to me when I
would do some kind of press conference from the Oval Office.
And let's go live to the Oval Office right now,
where President Smith is wearing a Tom Seaver Mets jersey,
flanked of course by his vice President Grimace, who's wearing
the Mets hat with the glove on the wrong hand
that he's been wearing since throughout the first pitch.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Do not let the hamburglar by the Treasury Department, because
with his history that may not be good for the country.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Well, I would try to find a way to get
in the rest of the McDonald land characters to do
like I would make Officer Big Mac like Secretary of Defense,
Deputy mayor mccheese. Yeah, oh oh, Mayor mc cheese might
have to make like Secretary of the Interior or the Exterior.
I don't know one of those.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
So Ronald McDonald, considering two clowns that we've had to
vote for, this.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Would be writing Ronald have to worry about. I think
Ronald would try to get them to rise up against
me like he would be. He would be like my
big critic, and I'd have to worry about Ronald. I
don't think Ronald would like me to taking all the mcdonaldan car.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I would like to see somebody in those shoes giving
a political speech.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Yeah, I'd put the Hamburgler the Supreme Court? Are you kidding?
That would be so great. They're all in the they're
all in the robes. They're all in the robes, and
he's the black and white robe.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
He'd have to take off the mask. We'd finally have
to know.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Uh, Hamburglar. Here's the here's the opposing descent on the ruling.
All right, there was a Hamburgler opposing descent. Here's Supreme
Court people.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Some of them don't have to disclose things, So maybe
maybe he doesn't have to.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Take alo Thomas Kavanaugh Barren Hamburger, and he's got the
mask on. They're taking the photo with all nine of them,
and and and two of them have to tilt their
heads because the hat is so big that it's running
into the Kagan is looking at it side eyed, hands
(29:48):
out hamburgers to people. Thank you, you go, here, you go.
Oh how about we find out what's trending since now
that I've solved the election problem in the country for
the last eight for the next eight years.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
And do nothing but create other problems.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
No, I didn't. I could. I can find money to
pay for you know what. You know, here's my here's
my plan. If we run out of money, I just
make more money. Oh yeah, and like I haven't learned
that in economics. Yes, I have one person who knows
the plan that I swear to secrecy that said, listen,
just make more money and we're fine with McDonald land
characters as the faces. Well, I would go. I would
(30:24):
definitely go back to the McDonald's coupon books that people
could get.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah, McDonald's all time free fries with that, think.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
About it, Like, think about making more money would solve everything.
We just print more money, but we can't.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Why can't wait because money is so valuable now.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
But nobody knows, only me and that one other person
is gonna know. And if it's the Hamburgler, no one's
gonna know what he's gonna be saying.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Any far as weights and measures, we're off the gold
standard and we're onto the quarter pounders.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I go to, I go to wherever they wind up
making money, and I tell them, just print more money.
That's all we gotta do. Get it in the circulation.
But that's gonna devalue out, not if nobody.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Knows Alexander Hamilton is roly. So we have to do
wrapping and rolling. In Copa America tonight in Atlanta, Attendance
was fifty nine thousand, but the US gave up a
goal in the eighty third minute and lost to Panama
two to one. The Americans were playing shorthanded most most
of the night due to a red card eighteenth minute
by Tim Weia. That was no way, uh, that was
(31:20):
a punch to the back of the opponent's head. So
after VIDA review and it was clear it was upgraded
to a red, so Panama wound up with seventy four
percent of the possession. Tonight outshot the US thirteen to six,
with one foul after another from the not terribly skilled
Panamanian side, nineteen fouls to four advantage for them. Goalkeeper
(31:41):
Matt Turner of the US had to leave at halftime
with a bruised leg after an early collision. No card
was given on that play, the loss to Matt Horvath
off the bench. The US all time against Panama was
seventeen and two with seven ties, but a loss to Nights,
and therefore the US will likely need to beat, not
tie beat, first play Uruguay on Monday night to advance.
(32:02):
That game will be on FS one from Kansas City
due to be warm and windy there on Monday. The
US and Panama are tied for second in the group
right now, each with one win and one loss so far,
but Panama gets to play last place Bolivia on Monday
in Orlando. Bolivia lost five to nothing to Uruguay Tonight
in New Jersey, Attendants was forty eight thousand. Uruguay outshot
(32:23):
him eighteen to four. The Lakers drafted Brownie James in
the second round. Duke's Kyle Philipowski went early in round
two to Utah. The Nuggets are reportedly negotiating a four
year extension with guard Jamal Murray. Among tonight's NHL Award
winners MVP from Colorado Nathan McKinnon. The late game in
Major League Baseball went to the Angels five nothing over Detroit,
(32:44):
beating Jack Flaherty allowed three homers in the first five
innings on FS one Kansas City edge Cleveland two to one.
Cincinnati was an eleven to four winner at Saint Louis.
The Cardinal starter Miles Michaelis gave up nine earned runs
in four and a third. Toronto beat the Yankses and
pitcher Carlos Rodon nine to two. George Springer with two
three run homers the wind Jose Burrios Baltimore at home
(33:06):
eleven two over Texas. Corbyn Burns the win over John Gray.
Miami got a seven to four win at Philadelphia, and
Bryce Harper came up limping late in the game. White
Sox beat Atlanta and Chris Sale won nothing on a
solo homer from Luis Robert. Today Minnesota thirteen to six
win at Arizona. Twins in fact led eleven nothing in
the Forest. Jordan Montgomery the loss, and in ten innings
(33:27):
the Cubs won at San Francisco five to three.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Back to you, Thank you, STEVEO, The Jason Smith Show,

rest of my life. So it goes theater that or
Tears for Fears. Shit, it's enough. We'll have that. Justin Frosberg.
Lebron James special coming up in a couple of minutes.
(34:19):
But to put a final now, the final bow is
Monday Steak in the heart of the United States. Epic
failed today against Panama. Look they lose two to one
and tim Way gets a red card. Eighteen minutes in
the United States has to play with with ten men
for the vast majority of the game. I know that
(34:42):
when we work Monday, everybody's gonna be hate watching. Half
the people are gonna be happy if we win, or
people gonna be happy if we win because we move
on out of group in in Copamerica, or if we
you know, we find a way to move on.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
ATI is not good enough Monday.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
And the other half will be happy because it's gonna
be the end of Greg Burholter's era with the men's
national Fingers crossed, but it you know, look what you
saw today and what you've seen from the men's national team.
It has to be and everything that's going on that's
that's quote wrong with the USMNT is all stems from
the fact that whatever voice Greg Berhalter has, the team
(35:18):
is tuned him out because they're still making too many
mental mistakes that you don't make if you are locked in.
Isn't it five years, it's a long time. And if
they had unbelievable success, yeah, you stick with the coach
because obviously know what they're doing. But you saw that
you've fallen short and you need a new voice. You
need ideas to stay fresh. And the fact that I
(35:39):
still see a team where players are motivated from game
to game, where okay, that's on the coach to motivate
the players. Players shouldn't have to be motivated, shouldn't shouldn't
need this, but that's on the coach. They still make
too many mental mistakes when we give up goals, it's
I have to watch and go. How come the defenders
didn't know who to mark on that play? Like, why
is that happening? That that's something that's practice, that's something
(36:01):
that's film. That's on the head coach. Why do I
see mental mistakes like way of deciding to punch a
player and get a red card when you know, going
in Panama stinks, they're gonna try to beat us up
and be bullies. Don't fall for it. Play our game
and we're gonna win this and we're gonna be able
to move on in the Cope America on Monday. But
(36:21):
instead what happened the United States got caught up playing
a petty game and way it gets gets knocked out
for a punching a player in the back of the head,
which was an easy red card to see. And these
are not hallmarks of players where the coach has what
he wants going on, the coach doesn't have the culture
that he wants because you don't make these mental mistakes,
(36:41):
whether it's a dumb mistake about punching somebody because you
don't listen, or it's I'm still don't know what we're
doing defensively for a play. This is still going on
with the USMNT. And you could talk about strategy and
what Burhalter does and doesn't do, and hey, should he
be playing Balligan, should be playing Peppi Moore like, I
get that, But no matter, that's a type of thing
that no matter what the answer is, if the United
(37:02):
States loses, then Burholter is wrong. But when I see
this from a team, I know that this is not
a guy who was in charge of the program that
has them all being the best version of themselves. We
have too much talent to be a team where I
don't know what our identity is other than get the
ball to Polisic. I don't know what tenets we use
as building blocks to try to win every single game,
(37:23):
and the good teams have that, and he's still trying
to build that six years in.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
This is a great young group that has been together
for years now. And in our lifetimes we've never seen
this many American soccer players playing in the famous leagues
in Europe. Even when Landon Donovan was young and he
signed a go player in Europe, he did nothing but
ride the bench and came back and played a major
league soccer. It's completely different now. However, it's two points
(37:52):
to make about this coach Greg Burholter, who again a
lot of people are hoping after Monday he'll be gone
and US Soccer will wise up because we're co hosting
the next World Cup in two years.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
We're costing the show Monday. We'll be working Monday. Greg
bur Alter might not.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Be It was everybody knew it was going to be
physical against Panama tonight, and in fact, Panama wound up
with nineteen fouls to four advantage, if you want to
call that an advantage. But the other thing is the
bigger picture. The record for the US men since October
is five wins, five losses at a tie. One of
those losses in a two not match this month when
they had to play an actual good team and actual
(38:27):
top twenty squad in Columbia. The US loss five to one.
They're playing another.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Told rama didn't even play in.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
That game, just his hair. The top twenty team they're
facing on Monday night to close out group play is Uruguay,
which beat Panama three to one in its opener. Beat
them Uruguay. I got a five nothing win over last
place Bolivia tonight. And the reason why we say it's
all but written in Penn that a tie is not
good enough come Monday is because guess who Panama gets
(38:55):
to finish up with last place Bolivia on Monday, so
you can probably write in Penn W for them. That
means that it'll be their second win six points. Uruguay
already has two wins six points. The US only has
one win currently.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
You'll see just how much the players want to play
for Greg Burholter by seeing their effort on Monday. If
they come out big, it tells you, hey, maybe we
still want to play for this guy. But if they
come out flat for more than fifteen minutes, because they
had a good fifteen to start, the turn always start
out good. The US always starts out that's the best thing.
They play the best fifteen minutes of any team I've
ever seen, and then it just kind of falls off
(39:30):
from there. But if they if they don't play inspired,
you know that they're Okay, was saying goodbout it.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
And it was only two nothing against Bolivia and the
US opener last weekend and could have easily been three
or four nothing. This is a Bolivia team that over
the years in the Copa America tournament, which is the
South American Championship, normally Bolivia has one victory in its
last thirty two games in this tournament. Bolivia is not
ranked in the top eighty in the world.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
All right, Frostburg, what do you have? What's your Lebron
James story that you can I terrify before TMZ. You're
like an insider, and if I'm wrong about this, we
had a good run. Okay, Wow, Okay, I don't know.
I want to put it all on this, but okay,
we can just blame ty Shirt.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
That's why I can confirm, okay, that Lebron James is
sleeping with his newest teammates.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Mon did when that story got put out and people
already were jumping up and down, going, look at Lebro,
What a horrible story that is? What a bad person like?
Oh wow, that's just people that are ready to hate.
They just wake up for the morning, going I want
to hate something right here.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
There's no thinking involved, So that really is part.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Of the sources.
Speaker 5 (40:40):
The guys.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
One, you made you sure about that? I think we're okay.
You know that my story.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
I had a college professor who said, you can, uh,
you know, my office hours or this, and you sign
up with my wife. She's my secretary. And then he
leaned into the mic and said, I live with my secretary.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
It's kind of like that. You're right, it's lebron James.
It's Bronnie James mom justin Frossburg. NBA Insider. They should
have you on. Did you lock shams out of his
Twitter today? Was that you that did that? Yeah? The
coming up next my buddy Ben Mallard. This is Fox
