Speaker 2 (00:22):
Let's give this.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Hello, Happy Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Welcome inside the Jason Smith Show with my base friend
Mike Harmon. After two weeks of various travels and travails
across the globe to United Kingdom and back and back
again and filling in yesterday during the day.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
We're back, buddy, We're back. Nearly three weeks. We're back.
Happened a long time.

Speaker 5 (00:52):
It's the longest I think we'd gone without doing a show. Obviously,
we sat in for Cavino and Rich yesterday, but in
terms of you know, this slot and just running amok
on America and the globe on the iHeartRadio app, and
it was a long separation.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
How do you feel, Oh, I was fine with it.
I was, I mean, I was, I was, I was cool.
Was it was set stories. No no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
You also didn't tell me where in England they were
going to be selling the mets phillies London. You said,
I'll find the first day, you said, I'll find where
they're selling the discount gear, so you can just jet
right off the plane and get there.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
I went to Nodding Hill with the giant open.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
No no, no, but there's you at the door and the
guy's naked and he's making poses.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Took. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
No, it was an interesting it was a different movie
with the same guy.

Speaker 5 (01:45):
But that's okay, let's just tie it the ball together.
Well he was the Lizard and Spider Man too. But
it's the the idea of, you know, all sorts of jewelry,
all sorts of people selling their wares. I figured, on
accident I would run into one of those hats or
a discounted heavily.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Sure.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
Instead, those had all already been shipped out of country.
They wanted no part of that series.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Now, it's funny you mentioned Spider Man because one of
the big highlights of our vacation going because you went
to London the week before then I went after we
went to the Tower Bridge, which of course is where
the the climax of Far From Home was where Mysterio
got killed. Everything else okay, And so the whole time
all we're doing is just running lines from the end

(02:29):
of far Execute them all, execute them all, execute them all.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
I don't think you want to say that too. On
the Tower I think that's that's happened.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
We also went to the Lennion Bridge, which the death
Theaters blew up there kidnapping Olivander and in part six.
So it was like, go, hey, tower Bridge, Spider Man's
name is Peter Parker.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
I mean it was like this, we're gonna be on
the Tower Bridge.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
But if you ran into the wrong Swifties, they'd be
pissed at you because it's all Jake.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Gillenhall, Yeah, yeah, no no, but it was you got
you gotta be care We got no no. They she
was already gone from Fifties remained.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
No. No, they followed her. They were like memories. They
don't stay.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
I mean there's UK yeah but no, but I don't
necessarily they're not like a smell followed.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
It's like a dead show man. They just keep going
vagab shrucking Dan and UK down. Uh, we're lying.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
We sell hemp and we sell, we actually sell these bracelets.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
They're not they're not man out of beads. No, they're
different braces. What is it nineteen ninety seven we're talking
about selling hemp. You know, thirty years ago hemp was
a big deal. I just wanted to say hemp live
from the tirac dot com studios. Tirect dot com will
help you get there at unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, over ten thousand recommended installers. Tirect
dot com is the way tire buying should be. So yeah,

(03:50):
you know, back excited, ready to go back. All Star
game night as we head to the seventh inning, and
I want to apologize to Justin Frossberg. Well, you don't
need to app I want to apologize because I feel bad.
The only thing that hasn't stopped what you guys were going. Oh, Tony,
the American Hey, Justin, He's apology and apologizing.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Unaccepted. The American League has ruined.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
The will not accepted.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
They have. But I don't want to be in the will.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
But you're in the way.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
But but I don't want to be in it. I
don't want to be in it. So you're in it.
But I'm but I don't want to be. How do
I do I have to sign something? Except I'm not signed.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
The American League has ruined. Show.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Heytani's All Star Game m v P walk in the
first inning, three run homer in a second at bet Nope,
Al's put up five. They're going to the seventh inning
up five to three over the National League and Duran
with a big home run that that broke the three
all tie. And uh, it's too bad because it's you know,
he's said here going, okay, well aoton is it? No?

Speaker 4 (04:41):
No o, Tony had the m v P and now
but it's gone.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Do you have this?

Speaker 4 (04:47):
What do we have?

Speaker 3 (04:48):
It's feel doesn't even move. Tony has hovered in the
All Star Game.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Oky, So we have that, we have that, we have
fox on the I. It was great? Was that off?
It was great?

Speaker 1 (05:04):
No, it's not off of Paul Skins. Oh by the way, yeah,
oh by the way. Just let's start right here. Let's
start with this right here again. Five three, going to
the seventh and Bruce Bochie, manager of the American League,
is bailed out of the worst managerial decision you could
possibly make in the All Star Game. Because Juan Soto
walked in the bottom of the first inning and we

(05:24):
got to see Paul Sken's face.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Aaron Judge, was it part of a script?

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Though?

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Well, was it part of a scrip because jan so
promised to that that was gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, and the fastball went to the look like it
could have been strike three minutes said, it goes to
the backstop. But I'm like, hey, Aaron Judge, dude, take
a pitch. Dude, take a pitch. Give us a little
bit of something here, man.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Drama, a little bit of a build up.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Now, stupid decision by Bruce Bochie not to hit you look,
hit Aaron Judge leadoff.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
What does it matter? It's the bleep and All Star Game.
It doesn't count anymore. No, it's not this time. It
doesn't count.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
So, Bruce Bochie, even though your had is eight and
three quarters and supposedly very smart, how about you make
sure you put Aaron Judge up in the first inning.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
He's got a good head of lettuce though, I mean,
there's not a lot of hair that held.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
A quarter eight and a half. I think his had
is well, his heads he was growing. I mean, I
mean that's.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Problem, but he gets bailed out of the worst is
because we could have walked away with not seeing Skeens
face Aaron Judge was what everybody wanted to see, and
for some reason, Nope, Knock going to bat him. And
we knew that Skeens was only going to pitch one,
and the pirates told, hey, listen, he's only on one
in it.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
So there wasn't gonna be a quick one two three.
First I'll come back out and face Judge to start
the second. That wasn't happening, so at least we got
to see it. But in the end it was hey, Judge,
how about you take a pitch, dude, how about you
let us build this moment? Little bit really thought that
that was your pitch ground out? Oh that was I mean,
I'm like, okay, we've waited for this. Here it is
and I am going first pitch swinging and I ground
out and I just said, well, so so much. We

(06:49):
talked about this big battle, this big moment, this big everything,
and there was one pitch in a ground out to
force out the final out of the inning.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
I might have said an exploited followed by jerk when
Judge swung at that pitch, like, really, do care to share? No?

Speaker 4 (07:03):
I mean it's too early.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
I mean there's other words that can use later on,
I guess, but it's the idea that you know you
had this build up. You didn't even let the broadcast
booth really build out. I know what it could have been. Right,
here's Judge go through all of the heroics and what
he's been doing the last month, and the bullet points
of all what he's doing to destroy pitching left and right.

(07:28):
What Skens is done, there's Libby done, There's all this stuff,
and like no.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
One pitch call, and this is a match everybody's been
waiting for. It's Paul skin oh ground ball the third
over the second and that's the inning. Okay, ah, right,
then let's look for something else do up for then. Actually, no,
So I'm glad that I'm glad that that Bruce Bochie
because that was just stupid. I don't understand Bruce Bochposley
very smart. Sometimes you get a bailout. He's managed a

(07:55):
couple of more games than I have. But still I
would have made a better decision. I'd a batt it
Aaron Judge lead off the let's have first at bat
of the.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Game, right, and let's say he's going full on.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
I was just champion, was just opposed to I don't know,
fan exhibition, fan engagement.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
What do the fans want to see? He said, blank
the children? Oh, Carl, you.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Know there's a more time we get away from that.
You have to have to explain that reference because you
know the George Carlin blank the children. People got it
for a while, but now it's been a long time.
It's been a long time for that.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
I'm treating back.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Saying that.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
No, I say, that's why he's got to explain it.
He explain.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
Maybe I get to make it my own, I know,
but I've co opted it for a new generation.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
But there's levels of stupidity for the All Star Game.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
There. There's the level stupidity for Bruce Bochie not bad,
but he gets bailed off from it. Then there's a
level of stupidity that that whoever it was. But the
final set saying said, these are our uniforms. This is
what we're gonna wear for the All Star Game. This
is what the American League is gonna wear, this is
what the National League is gonna wear. All right, let's
go get it because look, I know that they're an

(09:01):
easy target. Anytime a team comes out with new uniforms,
I hate it. I hate It's terrible. His uniform is awful.
Anytime there's a new hat that comes, I hain'te that
at that.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
That is terrible. I can't buy that sucks. Those sneakers
are They're ugly. They suck. I can't believe. O sneakers suck.
Oh these uniforms suck.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
No, no, these uniforms really do suck, and and and
and there's level of suck because the fact that I
can say the National league level of suck isn't as
bad as the American League level of suck. I mean
it's like, okay, well, at least the blue, but it
looks terrible blue.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
At least you know you have the highlight or blue
going on.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
So you know, there's only two ways. What you got, Frostbergy.
These jerseys are so ugly?

Speaker 4 (09:44):
How ugly are they?

Speaker 2 (09:45):
The city Connecttions?

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Oh dude, that's a great one. What's better? These are
the Padre city Connections. Let's put that up let.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
That hurts your eyes more.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Who's who's working, who's working, who's working? Our social media time.
Let's have that up there, Andre City an X or
these jerseys. Yeah yeah, uh. Look, there's only two ways
that these jerseys are acceptable, because they're they're just they're
just awful.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Sequel to Bingo along in the Traveling All Stars. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
The first okay, that's like the third time someone's mentioned
that to me today.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Is that right?

Speaker 5 (10:16):
Yeah, as soon as I've realized anybody else recognize that.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
The first one is going to be is if you
goost told to somebody, Okay, you have these two colors
to work with for a uniform.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Wait what yeah? What about? No? No, no, these are
the colors you have. You have this ultra.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Bright orangish, pinkish and cream.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
All right, what do you go for the other one?

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well, kind of a sky blue and black? Oh okay, uh,
this is the best I can do. The only other
way this is acceptable is if you are a barnstorming
softball team, like you're a high level barn storming team,
where hey, we go to different small cities like the
King in his Court, remember that when when when that

(10:59):
was a big deal guy, they got the pitcher, the
famous pitcher the King in his Court used to barnstorm
across the country and play again, like, oh.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
Hey, coming to des Moines.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
The King and his hort are gonna be that that
big barnstormy softball team is gonna be there. Uh, that's
the only way these uniforms are acceptable because that's what
they look like. And and I want to say this
is that I get the justification for jobs. Everybody's got
to justify their job not doing things right. You always
have to look like you're innovating on things. Or if
we're not innovating, we're standing still, we're getting passed by.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
No.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Sometimes what we have is okay, and it's okay to
to just continue to do something that we've been doing
for a little while until the it cries out to
be replaced.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Right.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
I get hey, MLB wants to sell uniforms and want
to make more money and want us to have, But
it was buying these things. I mean, you got to
put something out that people are gonna.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
Want to buy. No one's gonna want to buy these,
I mean, given them.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
These things are gonna be on MLB dot com at
the end of the game time seventy five percent off
your all Star jersey, seventy five percent off I.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
Will buy that crochet for three.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
I don't I don't get how these idea you know
when certain idea These are just awful, these these jerseys
did I mean, it doesn't look like the hats are
terrible too, Like everything is bad and I know, you know,
awful and I know, hey, hey come on man, that's
blue and orange is pretty sweet.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
I have the stripes and everything.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Uh this is I mean, I don't get how Yeah,
these are our all star uniforms and we're excited about this.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
I mean, who who comes up with this?

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Like the I've watched so many movies where I mean,
I could I could just go. I mean, I'd put
the people who ever did Devil Wears Prada in charge
of getting new uniforms. At least I know then they're
looking into things. They're looking through catalogs and seeing what
colors work and what schemes.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
This is just like really like like you could have
come up with this in like five seconds. Oh they
did you know?

Speaker 1 (12:43):
We need we need like an orangeish pinkish chef and
cream combination. Why, well, because it's hot and I'm in
the mood for a bomb pop. So that's what I want.
I want to have one of those creamsicles. So that's
what I want. It's gonna be summer. It's creamsicle. Let's go.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
When we went back to school shopping and I saw
that shade of blue and the high and then there's
little posted flags, so I thought that would be kind
of cool.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
You know how bad these jerseys are, guys?

Speaker 4 (13:07):
How bad? How bad are they?

Speaker 2 (13:08):
They would look ugly on black and white TV.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Hey, you gotta explain the millennials what black and white
TV is. They don't know what that is that is.
I mean, I I don't get it. Like there's there's
the Bruce Bochie Hey, man, that that's stupid not batting
iron judge in the top three, and then there's major
League Baseball.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Hey, this is these jerseys are just awful. Man, I
don't even know. I'm waiting. You know, here's how bad
that You wonder how bad the jerseys are? How bad?
How bad the jerseys are?

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Is that with every story out there every day, after
a few hours go by, you know, there's one crazy
person on TV or the radio that's gonna take a
story and just take the small representation part of it
from the other side, just to be something different, just
to play Devil's Advocate, right, and it doesn't make sense
and they sound terrible, but they do it. I don't

(13:59):
know that there's one hot take person that's gonna go
on the radio today, the TV tomorrow and go, you know,
I like the All Star uniforms. Who's gonna do that?
Do you tell me the guy that's gonna do that.
You tell me who's gonna do it. Who's gonna do it?
Who raise your hand, you raise your head? Harmon, who's
gonna do it? Who's gonna do it?

Speaker 4 (14:14):
Say it? Who's gonna do it?

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Exit out vouta fresca exit swollen down The Jason Smith

hot takes not not happening, not happening.

We helped to ruin Showyotani's All Star Game MVP candidacy
is that's out the window, going out your fault, going
to the eighth inning, the American League leads an League
by the score of five to three to Ram with
a big home run, likely going to be your MVP
unless something was still making O'tani. It's still Otani. We're
still doing it. I would make him MVP. It makes

(16:12):
up for all sorts of other bad decisions. Rob Bamford,
going back to the Jersey Conversation, said, we're aware of
the sentiment.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
You know, Look, go back to the old thing where
you wore your own uni you know.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Or you could put a patch on it, or you
could do a uniform that would be that people would
like for a couple of years. You could do a
throwback look, some kind of some kind of something that
people Hey, I kind of like, Well.

Speaker 5 (16:37):
Every hat is pillbox style, like the nineteen seventy nine Pirates.

Speaker 4 (16:40):

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Not Mets colors. But you know, hey, dude, we've been
better the Mets. The Mets have been better the last
two baseball April, May, June and early garde on. The
Mets have been better for longer this season than the
Dodgers have. That's okay, that is absolutely true. That is
absolutely true. Mets have the best record in baseball the

(17:19):
last two plus months. You've been over five hundred, you've
been five hundred. Well, we're a little bit over five hundred.
You've been under five hundred since the middle of May,
and we're still twenty games over. Well because because you
started out like thirty and three. But but we've been
better for longer than you are. Yes, the Mets.

Speaker 4 (17:36):

It's okay, But you're almost to training camp. They almost
did their job, you see that.

Did see a fair amount of Mets hats, and I
mean like five or six. Uh, but clearly the most hats,

Soccer And the most hats I saw, without a doubt,
were Yankee hats.

and he was wearing this big like this Michigan sweatshirt
that had to be from the seventies, Like, oh my god,
that's so cool. Like if if he, if it wasn't

She always says go blue to somebody wearing a Michigan
and he says and she walks up. She goes, hey,
go blue, And I'm not this is exactly what the
guy does. The guy stops, looks up and looks at
her and says, yes, go blue. I said, yeah, that's
just that's just a sweat that's just a hoodie. For
that guy, that's just a hoodie. Yes, go blue. Like
he didn't know what, like what am I supposed to say?

Speaker 2 (19:45):
He was just staying warn I just told I told
Pim a little bit overcast.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
I told him you may have activated some sort of
uh uh, you know, some kind of program where aliens
are gonna invade or something.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Now sudden it's becomes something out of the event.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
He goes, yes, go blue, Yeah right, yes, goblo goblok, right,
where are soldiers through? But there was a fair amount
of mets, get a lot of stuff. I mean, I
was probably the first guy in a long time to
take a picture at Stonehenge with my mets hat on
for I mean.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Was it still orange?

Speaker 4 (20:14):
Uh? No, it was. It was not orange.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
And I actually asked, I said, hey, what happened the
day that it was orange? And and the tour guy
said when they came to sprayed orange? And the tour
guy said, oh, the police were here really fast. I said,
did you have to stop her closes? Nah, people just
kept walking up. They was we we watched off right away.
Go No tour buses had to stop. No, we just
we just kept going. I said, really, so yeah, no people,
there was no people stopped. They took pictures of it,

(20:37):
and it got orange, and people got pictures before we
were able to watch it off.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
But no, we just kept going like there was nothing
to stop at all.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
It just comes back to the general principle of what
the hell's wrong with people? Stop throwing pain on artwork?
Stop throwing pain on monuments, standing up, We're stopping figure
out something, We're stopping traffic.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
No, all you're doing is pissing me off. Just said
telling you you're not getting Really, I really think we
need to worry about that Brexit because you're stopping traffic.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Now. No, I mean it doesn't do it. It doesn't
do it.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
But again, top of the eighth inning, American League still
leads the National League five to three. Again, four outs
away from the American League taking the All Star Game.
There is a big shoe to drop in the biggest
All Star controversy, big story the last twenty four hours.
This involves around the woman who sang the national anthem
last night, country music artist and Ingrid Andress, who did

(21:32):
a version that was creative to say the least, in
case you missed it or you want to hear it again,
gives a little bit of her version before the All
Star home run Derby.

Speaker 7 (21:43):
Gets read the bombs bust yay do the night.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
That less.

Speaker 7 (22:08):
Sayto Spain.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
For the.

Speaker 7 (22:24):
Of the free.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Artistic choice, Ingrid uh So, there's so there's a bit
of Ingrid Andrews Andress's national aanthrop on last night and
when it happened, I said, Okay, so yeah, artistic choice
or she's altered a little bit, because that just it
just didn't it just didn't seem right. And then today

(22:53):
she puts out a statement saying, hey, y'all, that wasn't me.
I was drunk and I'm checking myself into rehab and
I apologize to Major League Baseball.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
It's fans, that's not who I am.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
But I was drunk and I'm gonna go in and
I'm gonna get the help I need to, and I'm
sorry for what happened last night. And when you hear
the national anthem, okay, you kind of understand, all right, Well,
so what happened is gonna follow her the rest of
her life. But if this gets her the help she needs, okay,
all right.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
And that's and that's the bottom line to it, right,
If in fact that is the case, get the help
you need.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
Now.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
You know, as we are in our society, there's healthy
skepticism about everything and to where you know, like Team
Paine told you long ago, autot June is your friend?

Speaker 4 (23:36):
Yeah, who was?

Speaker 5 (23:38):
She did sing live, so you gotta you gotta give
her credit for that.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
No, it is and you're trying to do an a
cappella version, and you're not probably hearing yourself in your ear,
which is which is what all artists say the same thing.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Oh I can hear myself, but I get it. Yeah,
and a little bit pitchy.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
And then there's that well, really you're not buying her excuse?
Are you know?

Speaker 1 (23:57):
I mean she's going to rehab. I mean, come on,
that's I mean, you're really buying me.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
I mean, that's it. That dude, that's a long wait.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
If you butcher the national anthem, there's ways to get
around it by just saying, hey, I did this, or
I did this and I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Harmon after eight beers. She sounds like Freddie Mercury. This
excuse is not valid.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
He sounds more like Freddie Freeman than Freddie Mercury loud noises.
But I will say this is that if you want
to talk about drunk karaoke, I could go to a
bar really drunk and sing a karaoke song and do it. Okay,
you would have to go to a bar, though, but
well yeah, I mean where else am I going to

(24:35):
get drinks? And but if you go, I could go
and do a national anthem, completely sober in front of
a large crowd, and I know I could screw it up.
I know I could screw up the verse, even though
it's the song I've sang the most in my life
that all of us have sang the most in their lives,
growing up doing the Pledge of Allegiance, national anthem of
four Games, you know all the words. Remember we had
Tiffany on the show, like like ten years ago when

(24:56):
she was doing the national anthem in New York a
couple of times, and she was making her you know her,
come back to her, and she came on. She said,
I can't tell you how stressful it is to sing
the National land because it's words. You don't want to
get it wrong. You don't want to screw it up.
It's embarrassing, it follows you. It's a very difficult song
to sing live.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
And I know that.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Just regular I would go, wait did I did I say?
Or the ramparts we watched already, or or wait, do
I is it? Oh so proudly we hailed, did I say?
Oh so proudly we hailed?

Speaker 4 (25:24):
Did I do that? Alright?

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Like? I could see myself absolutely doing that because you
get caught up in the moment. You're not seeing the
words anywhere. You're doing this from memories, not a song
that you wrote, and I can see screwing it up.
Now you add alcohol, and you add bad decisions and
doing this, and you can see exactly why you got
the version.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
That you did. Now it's an easy song. It's a
much easier song. You think it is. To screw it up, Well,
you know how you fix that.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
You go into a studio, record it, and then you
show up at a big event and it becomes a
number one best seller. Hmm, okay, I thought you're gonna say,
just you go on your lip sync. It is why
I thought that's you're gonna say, I'm gonna be to
lip sing. Well, that's essentially what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
Yes, and start the track.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Now, Oh, it's a perfect I got it super Bowl
all time. It's it's really it's it's a difficult song
to sing. It's a terrible to do love. It's awful.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
But it wasn't so difficult, dude. It was written when
there were no instruments. It was written in seventeen seventy six.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
The guy was on a ship that was getting bombarded
tea was getting thrown over the sides and the guy
wrote a song.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
But we've been singing it since we've been kids. How
do you not know it?

Speaker 4 (26:28):
Well? But that's the thing, it's it's it. Trust me,
it's easy. Sure it is.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
If you're in front of fifty thousand people, you're trying
to sing it thirty two thirty.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
So she's been saying she's known about it for twenty
seven years.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Well here, but here is. She's also said she was
drunk while she was doing it, So I mean that, Yeah, dude,
like I said, healthy skeptic right there.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Even been enough drunk carry out.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
But I don't think you go that far to say
I'm going to rehab like that.

Speaker 5 (26:54):
You can't just say I was drunk beat it, No, no, no,
you got to commit to You could say I was
drunk on a plane and then that would work, Well
I would if she'd sang that, I mean, it would work.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
You could also say you're going, but do you really go?

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Instead of Well, I think there's gonna be evidence if
she goes. I mean, she's got to go something.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
There's an investigation.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
So people, well, now it's a thing she's a country
music she's been nominated for four Grammys.

Speaker 5 (27:14):
Like, there's gonna be a whole other conversation because you
know what, one of the great drops in the system.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
Never heard of them, never heard the last night?

Speaker 1 (27:23):
No, no, I know either, Like when she says the
last night, here's four time country music nominee. I'm going
carry Underwood, Kelly Pickler. I don't know who is it? Yeah,
I'm like, oh, Darius Rucker.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
No Wood was at the Windy City Smokeout in Chicago.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
Ingrid Andres. Oh okay, all right, I get all right, sure?
How many different categories and they add to the Grammy.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Well, here's a Grammy for best boots. Here's a Grammy
for best shirt, for worst start in national best bolo tie.
Here's another category right here that you win. I mean,
because nobody, nobody wants this on their resume, that they
blew the national anthem. So it's like throwing out a
bad first pick. No, no, no, fifty cent still has

(28:08):
a whole gray career. The first bitch is just like, hey, look,
it's part of the four now. But you know what
you know, I mean, what do people still say about Roseanne?

Speaker 4 (28:17):
Now?

Speaker 1 (28:17):
What's the first obviously the West. The last couple of
years ever since Roseanne, you know, had her think she
couldn't handle it. She's always someone who could never handle
six that's been her problem. But like, what's the first
thing you've always said about Roseanne?

Speaker 4 (28:30):
What's it? Come back to that national anthem where she's saying.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
And then she grabbed her crotch at the end, Like, Okay,
that was more than just a bad rendition. But that's
like the second thing that comes up about her. Roseanne,
big sitcom star of the nineties was canceled. But boy,
that rendition of the national anthem right Carl Lewis, Carl
is one of the most respected Olympic medalists of all time,
Carl Lewis eight gold medals, But boy, that version of

(28:53):
the national anthem, Oh my goodness, I mean that you
don't want that to follow you. You know, this is
a this is gonna follow her for wherever she goes,
where she could be nominated for four more Grammys, being
able to go wow Ingrid Andrews, who nobody really knew
she was, and she's nominated for all these grants.

Speaker 5 (29:08):
But boy, tell me, tell me you're watching the Grammys
and they say, coming up next, Ingrid's gonna sing a song.
You're sitting at the edge of your seat. She got
no idea what's coming.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Well, if it's one of her songs, though, I gotta
think that you're gonna pull it off.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
But she sang that more does she sing the national
Say listen.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
If I went out there, if I went out okay,
let me just tell you this. If I went out
there to sing right, just to straight, without any any
if I went out to sing in front of everybody
major League Baseball, I'd sing before that and you said
to me, okay, national anthem or scenes from an Italian restaurant,
I would say, I am not gonna screw up scenes

(29:44):
from an Italian restaurant.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
I am not gonna screw up sweet Child of Mine.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
I am not gonna shirr up uh this coma.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
Come on, dude, you know Coma's on the radio. Then
I turned it off. I thought you were going.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
If you're blue and you don't know where to But
I'm like, I'm not screwing up those songs, but I'll
screw up the national anthem.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
I'm not gonna these songs I've been singing my entire life.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Sober or drunk.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
I'm not gonna screw up for whom the bell tolls
would screw up?

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Sober or intoxicated.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Oh well, if I was intoxicated, I would I'd much
be a I'd much more believe that I would get
the songs right, then get the national anthem right.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
That's my boy.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
But anyway, but even sober, I would feel that way. No,
you wouldn't, dude, I would screw up the national anthem.
I'm not gonna screw up can't find my way home
by blind faith. I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna
it's not gonna happen.

Speaker 5 (30:39):

Speaker 1 (32:15):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon. Now, no, Mark, you can't play that. People
think it doesn't count anymore. It doesn't count anymore. There's
no home field advantages, no giving games in the World Series.
It doesn't count anymore. And that's a White Sox winner
doesn't count. The All Star Game is over. The National

(32:35):
League was able to bring the tying run to bat
in the bottom of ninth inning, but it doesn't matter.
The American League wins it by the final of five
to three. They have now won ten out of the
last eleven All Star Games. I remember growing up the
American League couldn't sniff a win. They could, They're not
gonna get close. Oh how the turntable the turn, Yes, turntable.

(33:02):
But you would have thought tonight, Hey, well, Tani with
a three run homer, this is gonna be tough to overcome. Nope, nope, nope,
that's it. Only runs from the National League tonight, Otani's
three run homer, that's it. Duran with a home run,
likely he will wind up being All Star Game MVP.
Unless really just want to give it to Otani. But
the American League wins it again ten out of eleven.
Now five to three is your final score?

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Unfortunately it doesn't count. How about Soto? Sodo had like
a couple of RBIs.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
Now uh is so? Is it.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
Future Dodger? Is that what you want to say, fro
I think that's what Frostburg's trying to do. But look,
we just trying to speak that into You break one
with two rbi and all, but you break the tie
with a two run homer, that that wins the game.
That that's kind of an MVP performing.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
I gotta say one thing.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
I mean, I'd like to give it to Otani for
the fact that you got multiple plate appearances out of him. Yeah,
that's supposed to you know, want it bat and I'm gonna.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Go sit out.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
I want to give it to the entirety of the
American League for overcoming the uniforms they had to wear
to win this game.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
Well might have been light and airy, I don't know.
Stanzi like they wearing.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
They look so comfortable. Well they're do This is fantastic.
We'll have more on this game coming up at about
ten minutes. Yes, the American League wins it five to three.
Again ten the last eleven All Star Games. You can't
have gone to the American League. Meanwhile, Uh, something that
we had seen rumbling down the road for a while
became official today. Brandon Ayuk of the forty nine er

(34:29):
Star Wide Receiver has officially requested a trade away from
the team. And I'll maintain now what I said two
months ago when it first came up with that bit
Instagram back and forth about about him.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
Am I leaving?

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Is this the last game of playing in San Francisco?
He will be traded? Okay Ayuk is going to forget
about this. Today the forty nine ers said, Oh, we're
not gonna trade. What are they gonna say, hey, wid
wide open. No, you gotta come get him.

Speaker 5 (34:54):
They say, come for the Ayuk, but leave with Deebo Samby.
And then we read wind up with Deebo and then
we re up Brandon Ayuk like you did your other
free agents who'd asked for trades before.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Getting Deebo Samuel. Now is like when the Jets got
Percy Harvin. It's like you had to do it like
five years ago. Like Deebo's near the end, man, we
still got a fuse of maybe another year or two.
But this is we told you two months ago when
this came up. He's going to get dealt. It's going
to happen. The two biggest things are Number One, he's
making it combative.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
Right.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
He has talked about this and talked around it and
pushed it and prodded it. He wants out. If he's
not gonna get a new contract, he wants out, and
so he's going to make He's not gonna play. He's
gonna sit out. He has made it adversarial with the
forty nine ers. When you make it that adversarial and
you go over the top and you keep pushing the bear,
you're gonna get your wish, you're gonna get traded at
some point. And the forty nine ers, quite honestly, they

(35:49):
know they were gonna do this.

Speaker 4 (35:50):
They knew they knew that.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Hey, coming off the Super Bowl, guess what, boy, we
need guys can separate and man coverage a little bit
better than Brandon Ayuk. What were we gonna do. We're
gonna get a wide receiver the first round is big
and ranging. Guess what he will separate. He'll be a
big target in the red zone. Right, they went out
and got Piersol at the end of the first round.
You don't draft a wide receiver in the first round
unless you see him as starting sooner rather than later. Now,
did the forty nine ers think maybe we could squeeze

(36:14):
one more year out of this Ayuk Piersol debo combination. Yeah,
I'm sure they thought maybe we can. But they know
the overall the end outcome was gonna be we're gonna
move on from MYU. We're not gonna pay him, We're
going to trade it. They knew they were going to
trade him. They know they're going to Ayuka is making
it this way. They have put set it out. Now,
will it take up a few time? Will it take

(36:35):
a couple of weeks or maybe a month middle of
training camp before it gets done? Yeah, but Ayuka is
going to get traded. He will get his wish. He'll
be an X forty nine er before the season starts.
I think they still just say you're coming to work.
We'll see it camp. What's he gonna say, No, I'm
not okay, Jesus say I'm not. That's what happens now.
The stars do this, so I get it. But when
stars say I'm not going, you stars just don't sit.

(36:58):
They just don't sit. They wind up getting dealt They
don't get to a point where hey, you don't have them,
why don't you get something for him? There's a point
of no return, and the stars always get what they want.
They'll always get bat with a number of forty nine
ers players who had requested trades demanded trades.

Speaker 5 (37:13):
Maybe not as clunky with all the social media crap
that he's done.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Oh it could be right before he could be like
three days before the season starts, to really screw him
because hey, you're gonna sit out. Oh now we'll trade
you because we'll still get really good draft picks. But
now good luck ramping up for the season, and you're
gonna have a bad year, so good luck on.

Speaker 5 (37:30):
Is entertaining to see the cast of characters that start
flowing up, right, we'd been talking about Pittsburgh for a while.
You look at the Buffalo Bills or a team being mentioned.
You got the Chargers being met like, you got a
lot of teams that potentially get into the branded AYUK sweepstakes.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
Again. You come for Ayuk, you leave with demo. Hey,
AYUK looks great, but can I interest you?

Speaker 1 (37:54):
And no don't show me that demo, Samuel no no, no,
no no, John It but still runs and literally will
run really well for you.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
All Right, how much less I'm not saying I'm gonna
do it, but how much less? Come on?

Speaker 1 (38:07):
How what happens exit out about of Fresco exit swalling Dome.
So yeah, he's going to get dealt It's going to happen.
We get back into the biggest story of the night
right here. Coming up next, Jason and Mike. Happy All
Star night.
