This is the best of The Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Hello, Happy Tuesday, 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 3 (00:49):
We're back, buddy, we're back. Nearly three weeks. We're back.
Happened a long time.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
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 3 (01:09):
How do you feel. Oh, I was fine with it.
I was I mean, I was, I was, I was cool.
It was stories. No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
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 3 (01:29):
I went to Nodding Hill with the giant o.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
No no, but there's the door and the guy's naked
and he's making poses' gonn.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah. No, it was an interesting It was a different
movie with the same guy. But that's okay, let's just
tie them all together. Well he was the Lizard and
Spider Man too. But it's the the idea of, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
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 shirt. Instead, those had
all already been shipped out of country. They wanted no
part of that series.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
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 climax of Far From Home was where Mysterio got
everything else. Okay, and so the whole time all we're
doing is just running lines from the end of Far
(02:31):
Execute them all, execute them all, execute them all. I
don't think you want to say that on the Tower No,
I think that's happened. We also went to the Millennium Bridge,
which the Death Theaters blew up there kidnapping Olivander and
in part six.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
So it was like, I.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Go, hey, tower Bridge, Spider Man's name is Peter Parker.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I mean, it was like this, we're gonna be on
the Tower Bridge.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
But if you ran into the wrong Swifties, they'd be
pissed at you because it's all Jake Gillenhall.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yeah, yeah, no, no, but was you got you gotta
be kidding. We got no. No, they she was already
gone from what remained.
Speaker 5 (03:05):

Speaker 3 (03:05):
No, they followed her. They were like the memories. They
don't stay. I mean there's UK.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, but no, but I don't necessarily they're not like
a smell follow No, it's like a dead show man.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
They just keep going vagab shrucking Dan and UK downrg uh.
We're lying.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
We sell HEMP, and we sell we actually sell these bracelets.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
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.

All Star Game night as we head to the seventh inning,
and I want to apologize to Justin Frost. Well, you
(04:00):

feel bad.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
The only thing that hasn't stopped while you guys were gone, Oh, Tony, the.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
America Hey, Justin, He's apology. I apologizing, not accepted. The
American League has ruined.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
The will not accepted.
Speaker 5 (04:13):

Speaker 1 (04:13):
But I don't want to be in the will. But
you're in the but but I don't want to be

you're in it, but I'm but I don't want to be.
How do I do I have to sign something?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Except I'm not signed.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
The American League has ruined.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Show Heyotani'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 said here going okay, well aoton
is it?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
No?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
No o, Tony had the m v P and now
but it's gone.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Do you have this?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
What do we have? It's time field doesn't even move,
has hovered in the All Star Game. So we have that,
we have that, We have fos on the car. It
was great. Was that off?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It was great?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
No, it's not off of Paul Skins. Oh by the way,
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
(05:25):
got to see Paul Sken's face.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Aaron Judge, was it part of a script though? Was
it part of a scrip because jan so promised that
that was gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, And the fastball went to the look like it
could have been strike three minutes then 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, drama a little bit now.
Stupid decision by Bruce Bochie not to hit you. Look,
hit Aaron Judge leadoff.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
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 (05:56):
So Bruce Bochie, even though your hat is eight and
three quarters and supposed very smart, how about you make
sure you put Aaron Judge up in the first inning.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
He's got a good head of lettuce, though there's a
lot of hair that help. At a quarter eight and
a half, I think his had his well, his head
he was growing. I mean, I mean that's problem.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
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.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
And we knew that Skeens was only going to pitch one,
and the pirates told, hey, listen, he's only on one.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
In end, that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
So there wasn't going to 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 a 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 talked
(06:51):
about this big battle, this big moment, this big everything,
and there was one pitch in the ground.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Out to force out the final out of the inning.
I might have said an exploitation followed by jerk when
Judge swung at that pitch like Billy don't care to share. No,
I mean it's too early.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
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 a pitching left
(07:28):
and right, What Skens is done, there's Libby done, There's
all this stuff and like no one pitch call and
this is.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
A 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 actionally, No,
so I'm glad that I'm glad that that Bruce Bochie
because that was just stupid. I don't understand Bruce Boch.
Bosley very smart. Sometimes you get a bailout. He's managed
(07:56):
a couple of more games than I have. But still
I would have made a better decision to bat it
Aaron Judge lead off. Let's have first at bat of
the game, right, and he only let's say he's going
full on.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I was just champions was just supposed to I don't know,
fan exhibition, fan engagement.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
What do the fans want to see? He said, blank
the children?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Car You 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 3 (08:29):
I'm bringing it back.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
He's saying that.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
No, I say, that's why he's got to explain it.
Maybe I get to make it my own, I know,
but I've co opted it for a new generation. But
there's levels of stupidity for the All Star Game.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
There.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
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 to p But
the final saying said, these are our uniforms. This is
what we're gonna wear for the All Star Games. This
is what the America 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
(09:02):
easy target.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
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 ain't that that. That
is terrible. I can't buy that sucks. All those sneakers
are They're ugly. They suck. I can't believe. O, sneakers suck.
Oh these uniforms suck.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
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.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I mean it's like, okay, well, at least the blue,
but it looks terrible blue.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
At least you know you have the highlight or blue
going on. So you know, there's only two ways. What
you got, Frostberg.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
These jerseys are so ugly? How ugly are they?
Speaker 6 (09:47):
The City Connects?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Oh dude, that's a great one. What's better? These are
the Padres city Connections. Let's put that up let that.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Hurts your eyes more.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Who's who's working, who's working us, who's working our social
media time?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Let's have that up there, Andre City connects are these jerseys?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, uh.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Look, there's only two ways that these jerseys are acceptable,
because they're they're just they're just awful.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Sequel to Bingo Along and Traveling All Stars. Yeah. The
first okay, that's like the third time someone's mentioned that
to me today.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, as soon as I realize anybody else recognize that.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
The first one is going to be is if you
ghost told to somebody, Okay, you have these two colors
to work with for a uniform.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Wait what yeah? What about? No?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
No, no, these are the colors you have. You have
this ultra bright orangish, pinkish and cream. All right, what
do you go for the other one? Well, kind of
a sky blue and black? Oh okay, uh, this is
the best I can do. The only other way this
(10:50):
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 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 hey, coming to des moines,
the King and his hort are gonna be that. That
big Barnstormy softball team is gonna be there. Uh, that's
(11:13):
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 (11:30):
No Sometimes what.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
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 5 (11:40):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
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 want to buy.
No one's gonna want to buy these, I mean giving them.
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 will
buy that crochet for three I know, I don't get
(12:01):
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 awful and I know, hey,
hey come on man, that's blue and orange is pretty sweet.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I have the stripes and everything.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Uh this is I mean, I don't get how yeah,
these are our all star uniforms and we're excited about this.
I mean, who who comes up with this like that?
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
(12:38):
what schemes. This is just like really like like you
could have come up with this in like five seconds.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
Oh yeah they did?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
You know?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
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.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
So that's what I want. It's gonna be summer. It's creamsicle,
let's go.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Well, we went back to school shopping and I saw
that shade of blue and the highlighters and then there's
little posted flags, so I thought that would be kind
of cool.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
You know, how bad these jerseys are, guys? How bad?
How bad are they? They would look ugly on black
and white TV. Hey, you gotta explain the millennials what
black and white TV is. They don't know what that is.
They don't know that is.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I mean, I I don't get it. Like there's there's
the Bruce Bochie. Hey, man, that that's stupid not batting
Aaron Judge in the top three. And then there's major
League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Hey, this is the These jerseys are just awful. Man,
I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I'm waiting. You know, here's how bad that you want?
How bad the jerseys are?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
How bad? How bad the jerseys are?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
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
(14:00):
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 he's gonna do it. Who's gonna do it?
Who raise your hand? You raise your head?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Harmon, who's gonna do it? Who's gonna do it?

Say it?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Who's gonna do it? Skip?

Showyotani's All Star Game. MVP candidacy is that's out the window,
going to your fault, going to the eighth inning, the
American League leads the National League by the score of
(16:05):
five to three to RAM with a big home run,
likely going to be your.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
MVP unless something no no. I was still making O'tani.
It's still Otani. We're still doing it. I would make
him MVP. It makes up for all sorts of other
bad decisions.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Rob Bamford, going back to the Jersey Conversation, said, we're
aware of the sentiment.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
You know.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Look, go back to the old thing where you wore
your own UNI, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
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.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Like, Well, every hat is pillbox style, like the nineteen
seventy nine Pirates.
Speaker 1 (16:45):

Colors, but you know, hey, dude, we've been better the Mets.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
The Mets have been better the last two baseball April, May,
June and rearguardage on. The Mets have been better for
longer this season than the Dodgers have. That is absolutely true.
That is absolutely true. Mets have the best record in
baseball the last two plus months. You've been over hundred,
you've been five hundred. Well, we're a little bit over
(17:28):
five hundred. You've been under five hundred since the middle
of May.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
And we're still twenty games over because because.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
You started out like thirty and three. But but we've
been better for longer than you are.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yes, the Mets. I invest I invest so much mentally
into the Mets. It's okay, but you're.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Almost to training camp. They almost did their job. You

me let's just let's do this. So in London right
when I when I went there, we'll get to we'll
get to the big All Star conference coming up, and
I'll thank you. Oh boy, I did see a fair
amount of Mets hats, and I mean like five or six. Uh,
but clearly the most hats, I said, and this is
(18:13):
more than like England National Soccer And the most hats
I saw, without a doubt, were Yankee hats. Oh yeah,
without a doubt, yank ye and all the same bad
Yankee hats that my dad has, like the the faded
gray ones, the different color ones.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I'm like, come on, man has Oh yeah. Really, there's

Hey Met's Mets. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Pam saw a couple of people in Misschigan gear. And
there was this one guy who was probably about seventy
years old, 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 probably the guy wasn't wearing like a
size medium, I'd have find a way to get it
from him, how to buy it off of him.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah, but like and says an international incident smith beating
down a seventy year old, No, I would.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I would. I would buy it from him, or say hey,
can I trade you this jacket? But Pam goes up.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
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 1 (19:53):
I told him you may have activated some sort of
uh uh, you know, some kind of program where aliens
are invade or something.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Now sudden it's becomes something out of the event. He goes, yes,
go blue, Yeah, right, yes, go blo goblok? Right, where
are soldiers there through the gold?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
No, 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.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
For I mean, was it still orange?
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
No, it was, It was not orange.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
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 clothes? Cause nah, people just kept
walking up. There 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,
(20:42):
and it got orange, and people got pictures before we
were able to watch it off.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
But no, we just kept going like there was nothing
to stop at all. 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.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
We're stopping figure out something. We're stopping traffic. No, all
you're doing is pissing me off. Just said that would
get me to traffic.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
It's not telling you. You're not getting me doing you.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I really, I really think we need to worry about
that Brexit because you're stopping traffic.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Now.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
No, I mean it doesn't do it. It doesn't do it.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
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. Uh,
there is a big shoe to drop in the biggest
All Star controversy, big story the last twenty four hours.
This involves around uh, the woman who sang the national
anthem last night country music artist and Ingrid Andress, who
(21:36):
did 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 (21:47):
Gets BOMs busy.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
The night.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
That of what.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Sayestto Spain.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
For the.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Of the free artistic choice?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Ingrid?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Uh So, there's so there's a bit of Ingrid Andrews
andresses national anthrop for 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 she puts out
(22:58):
a statement saying, hey, y'all, that wasn't me. I was
drunk and I'm checking myself into rehab and I apologize.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
To Major League Baseball. It's fans, that's not who I am.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
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.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
But if this gets her the help she needs, okay,
all right, And.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
That's and that's the bottom line to it, right, If
in fact that is the case, get the help you need.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Now.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
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.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Ago, autot tune is your friend? Yeah, who was it?
She did sing live, so you gotta you gotta give
her credit for that.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
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 3 (23:52):
Oh and I can hear myself, but I get it. Yeah,
and a little bit pitchy. And then there's that's well, really,
you know buying her? Excuse?
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I mean she's going to rehab? I mean, come on,
that's I mean, you really buying me? I mean, that's it.
That dude, that's a long wait.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
If you butcher the national anthem, there's ways to get
around it by just saying, hey, I did this.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Or I did this and I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
Harmon after eight beers. She sounds like Freddie Mercury. This
excuse is not valid.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
He sounds more like Freddy Freeman than Freddy Mercury. Loud noises.
But I will say this is that.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
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 get drinks? And but if
you go, I could go and do a national anthem,
completely sober in front.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Of a large crowd, and I know I could screw
it up.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
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
she was doing the national Anthem in New York couple
of times and she was making her you know, her
big comeback tour, and she came on she said, I
can't tell you how stressful it is to sing the
(25:08):
National land because it's words.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
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. And I know that.
Just regular I would go, wait did I say or
the ramparts we watched already?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Or or wait, do I is it? Oh so proudly
we hailed? Did I say, Oh so proudly we hailed?
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Did I do that?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Alright?
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
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
could see exactly why you got the version that you did.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
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. You go into a studio,
record it, and then you show up at a big
event and it becomes a number one best seller.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Hmm, okay, I thought you're gonna say, just you go
on your lip sink. It is why I thought that
you're gonna say, I'm gonna be a lip sing Well, that's.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Essentially what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
And start the track. Now, Oh it's 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.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
It's awful.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
But it wasn't so difficult, dude. It was written when
there were no instruments. It was written in seventeen seventy six.
The guy was on a ship that was getting bombarded.
Tea was getting thrown over the sides and the guy
wrote a song.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
But we've been singing it since we've been kids.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
How do you not know it? Well? But that's the thing,
it's it's it. Trust me, it's easy. Sure it is.
If you're in front of fifty thousand people, you're trying
to sing it thirty two thirty. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
So she's been saying she's known about it for twenty
seven years.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Well, heah, but here is. She's also said she was
drunk while she was doing it, So I mean there
that Yeah, dude, Like I said, healthy skeptic right there.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Yeah, I don't even been enough drunk carry out.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
But I don't think you go that far to say
I'm going to rehab. Like, you can't just say I
was drunk. Beat it, No, no, no, you got to commit.
You could say I was drunk on a plane and
that would work, Well, I would if she'd sang that.
I mean, it would work. You could also say you're going,
but do you really go?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Instead of Well, I think there's gonna be evidence if
she goes. I mean, she's got to go something, there's
an investigation, gotta go.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
People.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Well, now it's a thing she's a country music she's
been nominated for four Grammys, Like, there's.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Gonna be a whole other conversation because you know what,
one of the great drops in the system.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Never heard of them, never heard the last Night? No, no,
I know I did either.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Like when she says the last night, here's four time
country music nominee, I'm going Kerry Underwood, Kelly Pickler.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
I don't know who is it? Yeah, I'm like, oh,
Darius Rucker. No what Wood was at the Windy City
smokeout in Chicago, Ingrid Andres. Oh okay, all right, I
get all right, sure? How many different categories and they
add to the Grammy. Well, here's a Grammy for best boots,
Here's a Grammy for best shirt, for worst star national Anthem,
(28:00):
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.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
So it's like throwing out a bad first pick. No,
fifty cent still has 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 now?
Speaker 3 (28:22):
What's the first?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
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 3 (28:34):
What's it?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Come back to that national anthem where she's saying 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 Carlo
is one of the most respected Olympic medalists of all time,
Carl Lewis eight gold medals, But boy, that version of
(28:57):
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,
wherever she could be nominated for four more Grammys. People
to go wow Ingrid Andrews, who nobody really knew she was,
and she's nominated for all these grands.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
But boy, tell me, tell me you're watching the Grammys,
and they say, coming up next, Ingrid's gonna sing a song.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
You're sitting at the edge of your seat. She got
no idea what's coming. Well, if it's one of her songs, though,
I gotta think that you're gonna pull it off. But
she sing that more does she sing the national Listen.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
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
(29:48):
from an Italian restaurant. I am not gonna screw up
sweet Child of Mine. I am not gonna shirr up.
Uh uh, this coma Come on, dude. You know Cola's
on the radio the day I turned it off. I
thought you were going comp if you're blue and you
don't know where too good. But I'm like, I'm not
screwing up those songs, but I'll screw up the national anthem.
(30:08):
I'm not gonna these songs I've been singing my entire life.
I'm not gonna screw up for whom the bell toll
screw up. Sober or intoxicated, 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
(30:29):
national anthem right, that's my boy. 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.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I'm gonna it's not gonna happen. Do you stand around
like doing the full air guitar going to come down
off you through and leave your buddy.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Lone entire night's playlist in the last five It must
change right.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Now, Lighters up or your cell phones as appropriate. In
twenty twenty four, find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports Kevin Wired. What do you got for US?
Speaker 8 (31:09):
Major League Baseball All Star Game. They're now in the
bottom of the eighth inning with two outs. Jeff Hoffman
in to pitch for the National League as they're trying
to keep this a ball game. It is the American
League in front five to three. Jared Duran down in
the state of Texas, dancing across the Rio Grand home
plate as he gets the two run home run to
break the three to three tie, showing Otani responsible for
(31:31):
all three of the NLS runs tonight. He got them
all on one big swing of the bat, a four
hundred foot home run for Otani. So the National League
will have three more outs to try to get back
into this game, that is, if a Hoffman can retire
the side here in the eighth inning. In the NFL,
multiple outlets reporting that the Broncos and guard Quinn Miners
(31:53):
agreeing on a four year, eighty million dollar contract and
forty five million of that is guaranteed. The Chicago Bears
and Caleb Williams in agreement on his rookie contract is
four years, fully guaranteed at thirty nine million dollars, also
includes a fifth year player option. Brandon Ayuk demanding a
(32:15):
trade from the forty nine ers and in spite of
his unhappiness in San Francisco. ESPN is saying that multiple
teams have reached out, but the forty nine ers right
now not willing to trade Brandon Aiyuk. Another wide receiver
who is speculated to be on the move, Davante Adams. However,
his agent said that the trade talk rumors baseless and unfounded,
(32:36):
and it's speculation that there have been no trade talks
with the Raiders. So we'll see if he ends up
making his way out to New York, because I'm sure
Jason Smith is out there up prophesizing.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
I just need to make it hell. Everybody else seems
to want to make this story. Hat boomeras size, and
I'm making it happen. Dani Rolotski. I'm making it happen,
all right. I'll hope you make it happen.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
Davonte to the Jets. Davonte to the Jets. So at
least he's saying now, there's no base to that rumor.
But U've heard stuff like that before, So we'll see
how that one plays out. In the NBA, the Lakers
getting some help on JJ Reddick staff. Lindsay Harding was
the G League coach of the Year, so she will
be joining JJ Redick on the bench in Los Angeles,
(33:17):
and the Milwaukee Bucks reportedly signing at guard Gary Trent
Junior to bolster that back court as he's agreed to
a one year deal. Back to you, guys, thank you
very much appreciated.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Kdeb The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon live from

anthem is a lot harder to sing than you think
it is. We will have the end of the All
Star Game. Well, when Pete A. Lonzo leads off the
ninth ending with a home run, that'll make it five four,
the end of the All Star Game end, maybe the
end of an error for one NFL star who has
(33:49):
demanded a trade.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Is he gonna get it? We'll tell you next right here,

pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Fox 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 The game is over.
The National League was able to bring the tying run
(35:05):
to bat in the bottom of nine thinning, 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.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
They could. They're not gonna get close the turntable.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
The turn Yes, turntable, 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
(35:47):
wins it again ten out of eleven. Now five to
three is your final score. Unfortunately it doesn't count. How
about Soto? Sodo had like a couple of RBIs.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Now, uh, Sodo is future Dodger? Is that what you
wanted to say for us? I think that's what Frostburg's
trying to do. But look, we're just trying to speak
that into you. If you break for one with two
RBI and.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
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 3 (36:13):
I gotta say one thing.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
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 at bat and I'm
gonna sit out.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
I want to give it to the entirety the American
League for overcoming the uniforms they had to wear to
win this game. Well, they might have been light and airy.
I don't know, because Stanzi like the first wearing they
look so comfortable. Well they're doing 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 the
(36:42):
last eleven All Star Games. You can't stop 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 Star Wide Receiver
has officially requested a trade away from the team. And
(37:03):
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 3 (37:10):
Am I leaving?
Speaker 1 (37:10):
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, wy
wide open, No, you gotta come get.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Him, They say, come for the Ayuk but leave with
Deebo Samuel, and then we read it with Deebo and
then we'd reap Brandon.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Ayuk like you did your other free agents who'd asked
for trades.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Before 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 Diebo's near the end.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Man, I still got a fuse of maybe another year
or two.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
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 5 (37:54):
Right.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
He has talked about this and talked around it and
pushed it and prodded it. He wants out.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
If he's not going to 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 know they were gonna do this. They
knew they knew that. Hey, coming off the Super Bowl,
(38:22):
guess what, boy, we need guys can separate and man
coverage a little bit better than Brandon Ayuk.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
What were we gonna do.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
We're gonna get a wide receiver in 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 one more year out of this Ayuk
Piersol debo combination. Yeah, I'm sure they thought maybe we can.
(38:49):
But they know the overall the end outcome was gonna
be we're gonna move on from au. 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.
Ayuk is making it this way. They have put set
it out.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Now.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Will it take up a few time?
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Will it take 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 you 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
(39:23):
stars say I'm not going you, stars just don't sit.
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.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
They'll always get bat with a number of forty nine
ers players who had requested trades demanded trades. Maybe not
as clunky with all the social media crap that he's done.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Oh it could be right before. It 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. It 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. Are a team being mentioned? You
(40:08):
got the Chargers being met like, you got a lot
of teams that potentially get into the branded AYUK sweepstakes again.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
You come for AYUK, you leave the demo. Hey, AYUK
looks great? But can I interest you? And no, don't
show me that demo, Samuel No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
No, no, Miny Johnet but still runs and literally will
run really well for you.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
All Right, how much less? I'm not saying I'm gonna
do it, but how much less?
Speaker 5 (40:35):
Come on?
Speaker 1 (40:35):
How what happens exit out about of Fresco exit swalling down?
So yeah, he's going to get dealt It's going to happen.

stealing the MVP away from Shoho Tani.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
Well, I mean, the National League thought they would win
the game because they stole Otanni from the America.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
Sure League, Sure, and for a while it looked like
that was a pretty good strategy.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
So to break this down and what is next now
as we look ahead of the second half Major League Baseball,
nobody better than a guy right now who I'm sure
is wearing a cowboy hat practicing the national anthem. MLB
Network insider, Fox Sports Radio Baseball insider, longtime front of
the show, John Palmrosi, John Paul, what's happening, Buddy, I
am doing outstanding.
Speaker 5 (41:55):
Congratulations to the American League and most especially Aaron durand
what a journey for him to be the All Star
Game MVP. And now, as of a few minutes ago,
the second half begins but it was a pretty entertaining
Midsummer Classic, I would say, for all of us to enjoy.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
You know, I got to say that it looked pretty
much early on, Okay, NL's gonna win, Otani's going to
be your MVP, and all of a sudden, the American
League does what it's done over the course past decade plus.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Is there is there a reason?
Speaker 5 (42:27):
Why?
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Is this just a way it's going?
Speaker 1 (42:29):
The American League has been winning these All Star Games
ten out of the last eleven years.
Speaker 5 (42:33):
Yeah, it's a great question, and certainly it's to your point.
It's been the way that it's gone for the last
couple of decades, really ever since the tie and O
two and then the this time it counts era and
then now back to the core mission of the also,
which is to entertain and have fun. And even Paul
Schimes on the mound and showy Otani in the batter's
(42:56):
box were not enough for the National League tonight. I
think that I'll say this that the American League, It's
not necessarily true this year in terms of these two teams,
although certainly one of them, one of the representatives of
the Redstocks was the MVP tonight. The Yankees and Red
Sox for a long time, and probably in the last
(43:17):
half a decade plus, the Astros to an extent, have
really driven a lot of the competitive nature of the
American League to where if you want to be a
good team, you're going to have to have stars and
talent to keep up and compete and maintain the level
of the Red Sox, the Yankees, and more recently the Astros.
Now it's not always born out and who wins the
(43:39):
World Series in a given year. Of course, in this case,
the reigning World Series champions are an American League team.
But I think that for whatever reason, I really believe
that the American League has been probably the deeper league
top to bottom over the last twenty years. It seems
like this is in terms of star star power, and
that's of course with this game measures. I think the
(44:03):
results speak for themselves. And that being said, there's a
lot of stars in the Billions, a lot of stars
on the Dodgers, a lot of stars in the National League.
Just so happens that on these collection of ninth and
July it's been the advantage of the junior circuit.
Speaker 4 (44:16):
Now, one thing we talked about a little bit earlier
to JP was the fact that Juan Soto at least
made good on his promise. So we got the Skemes
versus Aaron Judges, and then Judge screwed us by swinging
at the first pitch.
Speaker 3 (44:28):
Dude, take a couple of pitches, man, give us some drama.
Speaker 5 (44:30):
Come on, John Paul, come on now. But how unique
was it that it was Judge's lineup spot that ultimately
produced the decisive runs. But it was by the Red
Sox who replaced the Yankee Duran who stepped into the
Judge's lineup spot, who actually delivered the big hit. So
(44:51):
a lot of really unique storylines. You're right, there was
the build up, here's the matchup, we've talked about it
all week, and the swings at the first and so
now now let's let's take a step back and say this.
You know, Aaron Judge in that ballpark gave us home
run sixty two, so he has done plenty of work
in that particular stadium to give us memories for a lifetime.
(45:14):
It just so happens that tonight versus Paul Skeins was
not one of those nights.
Speaker 1 (45:21):
John Paul Morosi with us the Jason Smithscher with Mike
Harmon Lifethtirack dot Com Studios. All right, so, John Paul,
you got to help us out here. You talked about
Jaron Durant being your MVP. Great story. They got the
MVP wrong. They got the MVP wrong because the MVP
should have gone to the American League as a whole
for overcoming those jerseys and finding a way to win.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
I mean, I just call it like I see it,
John Paul. Just call it like I see it.
Speaker 5 (45:45):
So that's very fair. I do think that. And the commissioner,
as you probably have seen, the Commissioner is evidently a
loyal listener of the program because he acknowledged me. There's
been some conversation with going back to the original jerseys, which,
to be honest, is what I would prefer. If I'm
(46:07):
being honest here, I like the old school jerseys. I
like as you know, as a Tiger fan growing up,
we didn't have a whole lot, but darn it, I
wanted to see Travis Ryman's jersey on the field. I
wanted to see Tony Clark's jersey on the field. I
wanted to see Todd Jones's jersey on the field. Brian Moehler.
I wanted to see my guy in the All Star Game,
(46:28):
and I wanted to wait around and make sure that
I was at my buddy Kyle's house watching the game,
which we did it every year. I wanted to see
the Tiger get into the game with the old English
tea best uniform in sports on the field. So I
think that's the emotional part of it, which I think
in baseball in this case is the right part of it.
(46:50):
By the way, By the way, we are all part
of the Fox Sports radio family. We are all connected.
And even though I'm very rare in studio with you,
although I was last year, as you remember, well, yeah,
but can I share this with you? Hit me that
I believe this that I have driven past the Tairaq
(47:12):
dot Com corporate headquarters more recently than either of you,
because I did that last week South Bend, Indiana, on
my way back from Chicago in a game, I drove
by and out of my beautiful window on the turnpike,
I turned to my right and I said, tire rack
dot Com. That's my studio. Those are my guys. And
(47:36):
so I felt, as you can imagine, this immense pride
to be connected to ty Iraq via Fox Sports Radio
that I felt like I was at my home stadium
when I drove Fasset on the expressway. It was a
pretty cool experience. I gotta be honest about that.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
Well, that's a great story and it's awesome to hear it,
but that disqualifies you from the big Tirac dot com
promotion winning the free tires of Summer. You're now disqualified
from winning.
Speaker 5 (47:59):
Now because you are because I'm now part of the family.
Speaker 3 (48:02):
I'm sorry you can't know you're part of the family.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
You saying drive right by the studio in reality might
have been I stopped in. I brought some coffee for
the guys, I got, I got some tires.
Speaker 3 (48:11):
I walked back. I mean, I don't know where that is.
I gave them some notes on the game I was
about to do.
Speaker 5 (48:16):
Yeah, in in fairness, In fairness, I was not aware
that it was that the headquarters was located in South End.
And to anybody, and I think this certainly fits both
of you, to anyone who was driven on on a
turnpike before you you, it's not as like, oh, there's
there's the headquarters. I'm going to go get off the
(48:37):
road here and go visit them. If you're on a turnpike,
you might have to wait twenty miles and then double
back twenty five more to be able to get off
and go there. And I would also say, to my defense,
I had my wife and three kids with me, which
would have been as you know, as soon as you
peel off the road, Dad, where are my snacks? I
want sour patch kids, I want a flurpy. So like
(49:00):
there were some family considerations there, Leave that as it may.
Proud member of the tyre rock dot com family.
Speaker 1 (49:06):
You're also from Michigan. You had allowed to go to
South Bend unless you go into a game. Come, I
mean that's I mean, they're gonna take away your Michigan card.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
For that, you have to move to Canada.
Speaker 5 (49:16):
So we're going deeper into the roads and the family
at Tenuary. But here we are. So I'm gonna tell
you we were getting on it. We were on our
way back from from doing a game in Chicago. My
family came with me and we stopped and we had
an amazing dinner in South Bend at the campus at
the Campus Inn right across from the stadium. Took a
beautiful walk around the campus. I shared this with Brady
(49:37):
Quinn on the morning show, so, uh, you know, we're
part of the family here South End. Loved it. Campus
is great. I hope they don't provoke my Michigan residency
for all these nice things.
Speaker 3 (49:47):
I'm thinking about under Dames and then like, we need
to do a remote there on a Friday during football
seam and then I stow we should and then put
in the back of my car, and no one knows
where it is right now, but I amn't.
Speaker 5 (50:01):
You absolutely need to do that. It's dropt you through
the show from there and then be at Notre Dame
Stadium in time for the game.
Speaker 3 (50:09):
Well, we get to bring the statue back that you stole.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
I can see the cables from the back of his
car putting it around the Frank Lady statue, pulling out
and dropping along the freely.
Speaker 3 (50:19):
You just hear that.
Speaker 5 (50:23):
No, no, no, I very respectful. I was. I had to.
I was with so I brought my daughters and admittedly,
I'll just say this, I am I love being a dad.
I have done a really poor job of educating my
children about sports. Like they like this will sound funny,
they really don't know a lot I mean, they know
(50:43):
a lot about other things, but they don't know the
stuff that I knew when I was their age. So
I were walking around the stadium. I said, girls, look,
it's it's the statue of the legendary coach. And they're
like saying a new Man. Girls, Girls, whoa Okay, listen
(51:05):
one of the most important figures in American sports in
the first half of the twentieth century. Uh yeah, new Roxy, Yes, Newt.
You know, like the movie, remember Ronald Reagan played the Gipper.
They're like, they're like, who are all of these people?
Speaker 3 (51:19):
I was like, oh my, Ronald Reagan, Dad, what are
you talking about?
Speaker 5 (51:23):
I was like, girls, we gotta I got I just
gotta be better. I got I gotta be better. I
gotta be a better dad. I mean, like visiting that
campus for my like, I was reflecting on a whole
lot of things, Like there's a lot of stuff that
I need to do a better job of teaching my
kids about. But this is why, uh, this is why
the tyracks dot com organization brings us all together.
Speaker 3 (51:44):
It's all true. Yeah, there's the other lesson to go through.
Speaker 5 (51:48):
Ronald the actor, all the caves. Girls, it's newt Roxy
win one for the Gipper. What does that mean? Oh
my gosh, guys, we're gonna have to watch the.
Speaker 4 (51:58):
Movie now, we've got a lot of had It's Sean
Morossi with us here at John Morossi where you find
him on Twitter. Leave out the ahe because Mom said so,
Hi Mom, j O an M O R O s
I MLB Network. He's got the podcast. Hall of Fame
Induction weekend coming up, one of the greatest weekends. If
you can ever get out to Cooperstown, folks, I implore
you find it. Find your way out there for one
(52:20):
of these induction weekends. But jp second half, starting on Friday,
those Red Sox will be in town to face the Dodgers.
A glass now kershaw on the men doing their rehabs
and everything else, and we've talked about it, but how
active are they and what do they need beyond the
starting pitch here or two?
Speaker 3 (52:38):
What else do they need to do?
Speaker 5 (52:41):
They need some work on this roster, Mike, And it's
amazing to think that as of Sunday when they got
walked off by the Tigers for the second straight day,
the Dodgers needed the All Star break more than about
any other team in the sport, because their rotation at
that point was Paxton Stone and three open Basically, they
(53:02):
they are short on pitching. And I'm gonna mention this
stat to you, and Justin behind the glass probably is
aware of this, but I'll mention it anyway. The Dodgers
have played fifteen straight postseason games without their starting pitcher
recording it out in the sixth inning. Fifteen in a row. Fifteen.
(53:26):
That's a lot of playoff games where basically Dave Roberts
has just not had not had horses to go to
to be able to utilize his bullpen when he wants to.
And I'll say this, if that streak continues, they're gonna
get bounced from the first couple rounds of this playoff
run too. They're just there. You cannot go series after
(53:46):
series after series chasing the whole pitching plans because your
guys who are max velocity are on the injured list
and you can only go three and four inings with
your openers. It's just doesn't work. And it has worked
for them since the World Series in twenty which, by
the way, back at that point in time, Buhler was
throwing ace type innings, Kershaw was going deeper into games.
(54:08):
They needed a better plan. And so that's why, and
Tom Berduci's reported on this and others why they're somewhat
desperate to get Trek Skouble or Garrett Crochet, whoever it
might be. They need two starters, two and I think
that the lineup is a little bit light right now.
Monsey being out hurts them. I think there are definitely
(54:29):
some players that can help them out. You know, do
you look at a Nico Horner from Chicago? Maybe do
you look at Yanni Diez from the Rays. I think
he'd be a great fit if you can have him
play some third base. But they've got some work to do.
This is a team that right now. The Phillies proved
it last week. The Phillies are clearly a better team
(54:50):
right now than the Dodgers, just up to the top
to bottom. They're just better and Andrew Friedman and Brandon Gomes.
They've got a busy couple weeks. The deadline is less
than two weeks from right now, and they've got some
work to do.
Speaker 3 (55:01):
All right.
Speaker 1 (55:02):
So let's send here John Paul. If I said to you,
the biggest name to be dealt that the deadline is blank.
Who are you gonna give me? And you can't give
me Alonso because the Mets are in the playoffs right now.
Speaker 5 (55:14):
The Mets are in the play miss the biggest name
in the dance in the dance, Okay, I'm gonna give
you this name, Boba Schett. I think that as as
disappointing as his first half has been, he is a
former batting champion, All Star type player. And the Toronto
(55:35):
Blue Jays they have they have played in such a
way this year that it's time for them to move
on from some of their core guys. I don't think
they're gonna trade Vladdie. He'd be a massive name, because
Laddie would be a massive name. Scooba would be a
massive name. I think there's a chance that both those
players get moved, but the one on the I think
that Bo is a little more of a chance. Garrett
(55:57):
Crochet I would say there's probably better than if fifty
chances he'll go. But I think that Bo is about
the level that I feel comfortable saying. And we'll see
if the industry surprises us and that we see a
scoobl or a or a Bladdy move.
Speaker 1 (56:13):
As well, he's on Twitter at John Morosi. That is
at John Morosi. Also he's a guy driving down the
street trailing the Frank Lady statue. Uh. John Paul is
always appreciated, my friend. Enjoy the rest of the week.
We'll talk to you soon, buddy.
Speaker 3 (56:28):
You got it.
Speaker 5 (56:28):
Well, we've got elocution and annunciation lessons planning for the
Morosi girls tomorrow on how to say Newt Rockney and
to get it right. And we're gonna we're gonna work
on that one.
Speaker 3 (56:37):
No sour Patch kids unless you get that name right.
Speaker 5 (56:39):
All right, very good, Amen, God bless you, Thank you
so much.
Speaker 3 (56:42):

This is the best of The Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Hello, Happy Tuesday, 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 3 (00:49):
We're back, buddy, we're back. Nearly three weeks. We're back.
Happened a long time.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
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 3 (01:09):
How do you feel. Oh, I was fine with it.
I was I mean, I was, I was, I was cool.
It was stories. No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
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 3 (01:29):
I went to Nodding Hill with the giant o.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
No no, but there's the door and the guy's naked
and he's making poses' gonn.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah. No, it was an interesting It was a different
movie with the same guy. But that's okay, let's just
tie them all together. Well he was the Lizard and
Spider Man too. But it's the the idea of, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
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 shirt. Instead, those had
all already been shipped out of country. They wanted no
part of that series.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
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 climax of Far From Home was where Mysterio got
everything else. Okay, and so the whole time all we're
doing is just running lines from the end of Far
(02:31):
Execute them all, execute them all, execute them all. I
don't think you want to say that on the Tower No,
I think that's happened. We also went to the Millennium Bridge,
which the Death Theaters blew up there kidnapping Olivander and
in part six.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
So it was like, I.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Go, hey, tower Bridge, Spider Man's name is Peter Parker.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I mean, it was like this, we're gonna be on
the Tower Bridge.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
But if you ran into the wrong Swifties, they'd be
pissed at you because it's all Jake Gillenhall.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yeah, yeah, no, no, but was you got you gotta
be kidding. We got no. No, they she was already
gone from what remained.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
No.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
No, they followed her. They were like the memories. They
don't stay. I mean there's UK.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, but no, but I don't necessarily they're not like
a smell follow No, it's like a dead show man.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
They just keep going vagab shrucking Dan and UK downrg uh.
We're lying.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
We sell HEMP, and we sell we actually sell these bracelets.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
They're not they're not man out of beads. No, they're
different braces. What is it nineteen ninety seven we're talking

a big deal. I just wanted to say Hemp.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
The American League has ruined.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Show Heyotani'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 said here going okay, well aoton
is it?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
No?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
No o, Tony had the m v P and now
but it's gone.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Do you have this?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
What do we have? It's time field doesn't even move,
has hovered in the All Star Game. So we have that,
we have that, We have fos on the car. It
was great. Was that off?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It was great?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
No, it's not off of Paul Skins. Oh by the way,
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
(05:25):
got to see Paul Sken's face.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Aaron Judge, was it part of a script though? Was
it part of a scrip because jan so promised that
that was gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, And the fastball went to the look like it
could have been strike three minutes then 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, drama a little bit now.
Stupid decision by Bruce Bochie not to hit you. Look,
hit Aaron Judge leadoff.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
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 (05:56):
So Bruce Bochie, even though your hat is eight and
three quarters and supposed very smart, how about you make
sure you put Aaron Judge up in the first inning.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
He's got a good head of lettuce, though there's a
lot of hair that help. At a quarter eight and
a half, I think his had his well, his head
he was growing. I mean, I mean that's problem.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
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.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
And we knew that Skeens was only going to pitch one,
and the pirates told, hey, listen, he's only on one.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
In end, that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
So there wasn't going to 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 a 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 talked
(06:51):
about this big battle, this big moment, this big everything,
and there was one pitch in the ground.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Out to force out the final out of the inning.
I might have said an exploitation followed by jerk when
Judge swung at that pitch like Billy don't care to share. No,
I mean it's too early.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
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 a pitching left
(07:28):
and right, What Skens is done, there's Libby done, There's
all this stuff and like no one pitch call and
this is.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
A 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 actionally, No,
so I'm glad that I'm glad that that Bruce Bochie
because that was just stupid. I don't understand Bruce Boch.
Bosley very smart. Sometimes you get a bailout. He's managed
(07:56):
a couple of more games than I have. But still
I would have made a better decision to bat it
Aaron Judge lead off. Let's have first at bat of
the game, right, and he only let's say he's going
full on.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I was just champions was just supposed to I don't know,
fan exhibition, fan engagement.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
What do the fans want to see? He said, blank
the children?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Car You 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 3 (08:29):
I'm bringing it back.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
He's saying that.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
No, I say, that's why he's got to explain it.
Maybe I get to make it my own, I know,
but I've co opted it for a new generation. But
there's levels of stupidity for the All Star Game.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
There.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
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 to p But
the final saying said, these are our uniforms. This is
what we're gonna wear for the All Star Games. This
is what the America 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
(09:02):
easy target.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
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 ain't that that. That
is terrible. I can't buy that sucks. All those sneakers
are They're ugly. They suck. I can't believe. O, sneakers suck.
Oh these uniforms suck.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
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.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I mean it's like, okay, well, at least the blue,
but it looks terrible blue.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
At least you know you have the highlight or blue
going on. So you know, there's only two ways. What
you got, Frostberg.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
These jerseys are so ugly? How ugly are they?
Speaker 6 (09:47):
The City Connects?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Oh dude, that's a great one. What's better? These are
the Padres city Connections. Let's put that up let that.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Hurts your eyes more.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Who's who's working, who's working us, who's working our social
media time?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Let's have that up there, Andre City connects are these jerseys?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, uh.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Look, there's only two ways that these jerseys are acceptable,
because they're they're just they're just awful.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Sequel to Bingo Along and Traveling All Stars. Yeah. The
first okay, that's like the third time someone's mentioned that
to me today.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, as soon as I realize anybody else recognize that.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
The first one is going to be is if you
ghost told to somebody, Okay, you have these two colors
to work with for a uniform.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Wait what yeah? What about? No?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
No, no, these are the colors you have. You have
this ultra bright orangish, pinkish and cream. All right, what
do you go for the other one? Well, kind of
a sky blue and black? Oh okay, uh, this is
the best I can do. The only other way this
(10:50):
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 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 hey, coming to des moines,
the King and his hort are gonna be that. That
big Barnstormy softball team is gonna be there. Uh, that's
(11:13):
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 (11:30):
No Sometimes what.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
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 5 (11:40):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
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 want to buy.
No one's gonna want to buy these, I mean giving them.
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 will
buy that crochet for three I know, I don't get
(12:01):
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 awful and I know, hey,
hey come on man, that's blue and orange is pretty sweet.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I have the stripes and everything.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Uh this is I mean, I don't get how yeah,
these are our all star uniforms and we're excited about this.
I mean, who who comes up with this like that?
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
(12:38):
what schemes. This is just like really like like you
could have come up with this in like five seconds.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
Oh yeah they did?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
You know?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
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.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
So that's what I want. It's gonna be summer. It's creamsicle,
let's go.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Well, we went back to school shopping and I saw
that shade of blue and the highlighters and then there's
little posted flags, so I thought that would be kind
of cool.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
You know, how bad these jerseys are, guys? How bad?
How bad are they? They would look ugly on black
and white TV. Hey, you gotta explain the millennials what
black and white TV is. They don't know what that is.
They don't know that is.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I mean, I I don't get it. Like there's there's
the Bruce Bochie. Hey, man, that that's stupid not batting
Aaron Judge in the top three. And then there's major
League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Hey, this is the These jerseys are just awful. Man,
I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I'm waiting. You know, here's how bad that you want?
How bad the jerseys are?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
How bad? How bad the jerseys are?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
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
(14:00):
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 he's gonna do it. Who's gonna do it?
Who raise your hand? You raise your head?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Harmon, who's gonna do it? Who's gonna do it?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Say it?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Who's gonna do it? Skip?
Speaker 1 (14:21):

The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon live from the
tirag dot com studios. Yes, we're back after three weeks
of various vacations. Yeah, we're together. We helped to ruin
Showyotani's All Star Game. MVP candidacy is that's out the window,
going to your fault, going to the eighth inning, the
American League leads the National League by the score of
(16:05):
five to three to RAM with a big home run,
likely going to be your.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
MVP unless something no no. I was still making O'tani.
It's still Otani. We're still doing it. I would make
him MVP. It makes up for all sorts of other
bad decisions.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Rob Bamford, going back to the Jersey Conversation, said, we're
aware of the sentiment.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
You know.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Look, go back to the old thing where you wore
your own UNI, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
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.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Like, Well, every hat is pillbox style, like the nineteen
seventy nine Pirates.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Dude, if you if you went pill box, I mean
I would. I would buy every single bit of merchandise
you possibly could.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
You do.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Have that good looking Mets All Star hat from last year? Yeah,
this is great. So let's see. It's a nice hat
right from last year. It's nice, dude.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
About that's good looker, dude, dude, it's not Mets.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Colors, but you know, hey, dude, we've been better the Mets.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
The Mets have been better the last two baseball April, May,
June and rearguardage on. The Mets have been better for
longer this season than the Dodgers have. That is absolutely true.
That is absolutely true. Mets have the best record in
baseball the last two plus months. You've been over hundred,
you've been five hundred. Well, we're a little bit over
(17:28):
five hundred. You've been under five hundred since the middle
of May.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
And we're still twenty games over because because.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
You started out like thirty and three. But but we've
been better for longer than you are.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yes, the Mets. I invest I invest so much mentally
into the Mets. It's okay, but you're.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Almost to training camp. They almost did their job. You
see that.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Justin you're also not a real fan without that Phillies
Mets jacket.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I can I tell you some things? Okay, let me
ask you, Let me ask you this, all right, let
me let's just let's do this. So in London right
when I when I went there, we'll get to we'll
get to the big All Star conference coming up, and
I'll thank you. Oh boy, I did see a fair
amount of Mets hats, and I mean like five or six. Uh,
but clearly the most hats, I said, and this is
(18:13):
more than like England National Soccer And the most hats
I saw, without a doubt, were Yankee hats. Oh yeah,
without a doubt, yank ye and all the same bad
Yankee hats that my dad has, like the the faded
gray ones, the different color ones.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I'm like, come on, man has Oh yeah. Really, there's
there's more than no Jags presents at allaguars. Here's no
Jags presence at all. There no, no, no, that's not There's.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
No people walking around with shot constashes.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Not many people with mustaches. Really, uh that you didn't
get around it. It was mustache shock. There is there.
There is nobody in Jags gear, not anybody. I did.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
And every time I saw somebody in the Mets jersey,
I went, hey Met, because I had my METS hat on.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Hey Met's Mets. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Pam saw a couple of people in Misschigan gear. And
there was this one guy who was probably about seventy
years old, 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 probably the guy wasn't wearing like a
size medium, I'd have find a way to get it
from him, how to buy it off of him.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah, but like and says an international incident smith beating
down a seventy year old, No, I would.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I would. I would buy it from him, or say hey,
can I trade you this jacket? But Pam goes up.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
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 3 (19:49):
He was just staying warn I just told I told
Pim a little bit overcast.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I told him you may have activated some sort of
uh uh, you know, some kind of program where aliens
are invade or something.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Now sudden it's becomes something out of the event. He goes, yes,
go blue, Yeah, right, yes, go blo goblok? Right, where
are soldiers there through the gold?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
No, 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.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
For I mean, was it still orange?
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
No, it was, It was not orange.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
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 clothes? Cause nah, people just kept
walking up. There 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,
(20:42):
and it got orange, and people got pictures before we
were able to watch it off.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
But no, we just kept going like there was nothing
to stop at all. 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.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
We're stopping figure out something. We're stopping traffic. No, all
you're doing is pissing me off. Just said that would
get me to traffic.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
It's not telling you. You're not getting me doing you.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I really, I really think we need to worry about
that Brexit because you're stopping traffic.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Now.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
No, I mean it doesn't do it. It doesn't do it.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
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. Uh,
there is a big shoe to drop in the biggest
All Star controversy, big story the last twenty four hours.
This involves around uh, the woman who sang the national
anthem last night country music artist and Ingrid Andress, who
(21:36):
did 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 (21:47):
Gets BOMs busy.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
The night.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
That of what.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Sayestto Spain.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
For the.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Of the free artistic choice?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Ingrid?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Uh So, there's so there's a bit of Ingrid Andrews
andresses national anthrop for 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 she puts out
(22:58):
a statement saying, hey, y'all, that wasn't me. I was
drunk and I'm checking myself into rehab and I apologize.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
To Major League Baseball. It's fans, that's not who I am.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
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.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
But if this gets her the help she needs, okay,
all right, And.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
That's and that's the bottom line to it, right, If
in fact that is the case, get the help you need.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Now.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
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.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Ago, autot tune is your friend? Yeah, who was it?
She did sing live, so you gotta you gotta give
her credit for that.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
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 3 (23:52):
Oh and I can hear myself, but I get it. Yeah,
and a little bit pitchy. And then there's that's well, really,
you know buying her? Excuse?
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I mean she's going to rehab? I mean, come on,
that's I mean, you really buying me? I mean, that's it.
That dude, that's a long wait.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
If you butcher the national anthem, there's ways to get
around it by just saying, hey, I did this.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Or I did this and I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
Harmon after eight beers. She sounds like Freddie Mercury. This
excuse is not valid.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
He sounds more like Freddy Freeman than Freddy Mercury. Loud noises.
But I will say this is that.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
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 get drinks? And but if
you go, I could go and do a national anthem,
completely sober in front.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Of a large crowd, and I know I could screw
it up.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
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
she was doing the national Anthem in New York couple
of times and she was making her you know, her
big comeback tour, and she came on she said, I
can't tell you how stressful it is to sing the
(25:08):
National land because it's words.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
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. And I know that.
Just regular I would go, wait did I say or
the ramparts we watched already?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Or or wait, do I is it? Oh so proudly
we hailed? Did I say, Oh so proudly we hailed?
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Did I do that?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Alright?
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
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
could see exactly why you got the version that you did.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
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. You go into a studio,
record it, and then you show up at a big
event and it becomes a number one best seller.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Hmm, okay, I thought you're gonna say, just you go
on your lip sink. It is why I thought that
you're gonna say, I'm gonna be a lip sing Well, that's.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Essentially what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
And start the track. Now, Oh it's 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.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
It's awful.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
But it wasn't so difficult, dude. It was written when
there were no instruments. It was written in seventeen seventy six.
The guy was on a ship that was getting bombarded.
Tea was getting thrown over the sides and the guy
wrote a song.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
But we've been singing it since we've been kids.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
How do you not know it? Well? But that's the thing,
it's it's it. Trust me, it's easy. Sure it is.
If you're in front of fifty thousand people, you're trying
to sing it thirty two thirty. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
So she's been saying she's known about it for twenty
seven years.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Well, heah, but here is. She's also said she was
drunk while she was doing it, So I mean there
that Yeah, dude, Like I said, healthy skeptic right there.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Yeah, I don't even been enough drunk carry out.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
But I don't think you go that far to say
I'm going to rehab. Like, you can't just say I
was drunk. Beat it, No, no, no, you got to commit.
You could say I was drunk on a plane and
that would work, Well, I would if she'd sang that.
I mean, it would work. You could also say you're going,
but do you really go?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Instead of Well, I think there's gonna be evidence if
she goes. I mean, she's got to go something, there's
an investigation, gotta go.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
People.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Well, now it's a thing she's a country music she's
been nominated for four Grammys, Like, there's.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Gonna be a whole other conversation because you know what,
one of the great drops in the system.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Never heard of them, never heard the last Night? No, no,
I know I did either.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Like when she says the last night, here's four time
country music nominee, I'm going Kerry Underwood, Kelly Pickler.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
I don't know who is it? Yeah, I'm like, oh,
Darius Rucker. No what Wood was at the Windy City
smokeout in Chicago, Ingrid Andres. Oh okay, all right, I
get all right, sure? How many different categories and they
add to the Grammy. Well, here's a Grammy for best boots,
Here's a Grammy for best shirt, for worst star national Anthem,
(28:00):
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.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
So it's like throwing out a bad first pick. No,
fifty cent still has 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 now?
Speaker 3 (28:22):
What's the first?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
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 3 (28:34):
What's it?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Come back to that national anthem where she's saying 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 Carlo
is one of the most respected Olympic medalists of all time,
Carl Lewis eight gold medals, But boy, that version of
(28:57):
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,
wherever she could be nominated for four more Grammys. People
to go wow Ingrid Andrews, who nobody really knew she was,
and she's nominated for all these grands.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
But boy, tell me, tell me you're watching the Grammys,
and they say, coming up next, Ingrid's gonna sing a song.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
You're sitting at the edge of your seat. She got
no idea what's coming. Well, if it's one of her songs, though,
I gotta think that you're gonna pull it off. But
she sing that more does she sing the national Listen.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
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
(29:48):
from an Italian restaurant. I am not gonna screw up
sweet Child of Mine. I am not gonna shirr up.
Uh uh, this coma Come on, dude. You know Cola's
on the radio the day I turned it off. I
thought you were going comp if you're blue and you
don't know where too good. But I'm like, I'm not
screwing up those songs, but I'll screw up the national anthem.
(30:08):
I'm not gonna these songs I've been singing my entire life.
I'm not gonna screw up for whom the bell toll
screw up. Sober or intoxicated, 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
(30:29):
national anthem right, that's my boy. 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.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I'm gonna it's not gonna happen. Do you stand around
like doing the full air guitar going to come down
off you through and leave your buddy.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Lone entire night's playlist in the last five It must
change right.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Now, Lighters up or your cell phones as appropriate. In
twenty twenty four, find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports Kevin Wired. What do you got for US?
Speaker 8 (31:09):
Major League Baseball All Star Game. They're now in the
bottom of the eighth inning with two outs. Jeff Hoffman
in to pitch for the National League as they're trying
to keep this a ball game. It is the American
League in front five to three. Jared Duran down in
the state of Texas, dancing across the Rio Grand home
plate as he gets the two run home run to
break the three to three tie, showing Otani responsible for
(31:31):
all three of the NLS runs tonight. He got them
all on one big swing of the bat, a four
hundred foot home run for Otani. So the National League
will have three more outs to try to get back
into this game, that is, if a Hoffman can retire
the side here in the eighth inning. In the NFL,
multiple outlets reporting that the Broncos and guard Quinn Miners
(31:53):
agreeing on a four year, eighty million dollar contract and
forty five million of that is guaranteed. The Chicago Bears
and Caleb Williams in agreement on his rookie contract is
four years, fully guaranteed at thirty nine million dollars, also
includes a fifth year player option. Brandon Ayuk demanding a
(32:15):
trade from the forty nine ers and in spite of
his unhappiness in San Francisco. ESPN is saying that multiple
teams have reached out, but the forty nine ers right
now not willing to trade Brandon Aiyuk. Another wide receiver
who is speculated to be on the move, Davante Adams. However,
his agent said that the trade talk rumors baseless and unfounded,
(32:36):
and it's speculation that there have been no trade talks
with the Raiders. So we'll see if he ends up
making his way out to New York, because I'm sure
Jason Smith is out there up prophesizing.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
I just need to make it hell. Everybody else seems
to want to make this story. Hat boomeras size, and
I'm making it happen. Dani Rolotski. I'm making it happen,
all right. I'll hope you make it happen.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
Davonte to the Jets. Davonte to the Jets. So at
least he's saying now, there's no base to that rumor.
But U've heard stuff like that before, So we'll see
how that one plays out. In the NBA, the Lakers
getting some help on JJ Reddick staff. Lindsay Harding was
the G League coach of the Year, so she will
be joining JJ Redick on the bench in Los Angeles,
(33:17):
and the Milwaukee Bucks reportedly signing at guard Gary Trent
Junior to bolster that back court as he's agreed to
a one year deal. Back to you, guys, thank you
very much appreciated.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Kdeb The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon live from
the tyrack dot Com studio. So just understand the national
anthem is a lot harder to sing than you think
it is. We will have the end of the All
Star Game. Well, when Pete A. Lonzo leads off the
ninth ending with a home run, that'll make it five four,
the end of the All Star Game end, maybe the
end of an error for one NFL star who has
(33:49):
demanded a trade.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Is he gonna get it? We'll tell you next right here,

Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Fox 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 The game is over.
The National League was able to bring the tying run
(35:05):
to bat in the bottom of nine thinning, 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.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
They could. They're not gonna get close the turntable.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
The turn Yes, turntable, 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
(35:47):
wins it again ten out of eleven. Now five to
three is your final score. Unfortunately it doesn't count. How
about Soto? Sodo had like a couple of RBIs.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Now, uh, Sodo is future Dodger? Is that what you
wanted to say for us? I think that's what Frostburg's
trying to do. But look, we're just trying to speak
that into you. If you break for one with two
RBI and.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
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 3 (36:13):
I gotta say one thing.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
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 at bat and I'm
gonna sit out.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
I want to give it to the entirety the American
League for overcoming the uniforms they had to wear to
win this game. Well, they might have been light and airy.
I don't know, because Stanzi like the first wearing they
look so comfortable. Well they're doing 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 the
(36:42):
last eleven All Star Games. You can't stop 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 Star Wide Receiver
has officially requested a trade away from the team. And
(37:03):
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 3 (37:10):
Am I leaving?
Speaker 1 (37:10):
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, wy
wide open, No, you gotta come get.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Him, They say, come for the Ayuk but leave with
Deebo Samuel, and then we read it with Deebo and
then we'd reap Brandon.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Ayuk like you did your other free agents who'd asked
for trades.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Before 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 Diebo's near the end.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Man, I still got a fuse of maybe another year
or two.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
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 5 (37:54):
Right.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
He has talked about this and talked around it and
pushed it and prodded it. He wants out.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
If he's not going to 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 know they were gonna do this. They
knew they knew that. Hey, coming off the Super Bowl,
(38:22):
guess what, boy, we need guys can separate and man
coverage a little bit better than Brandon Ayuk.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
What were we gonna do.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
We're gonna get a wide receiver in 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 one more year out of this Ayuk
Piersol debo combination. Yeah, I'm sure they thought maybe we can.
(38:49):
But they know the overall the end outcome was gonna
be we're gonna move on from au. 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.
Ayuk is making it this way. They have put set
it out.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Now.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Will it take up a few time?
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Will it take 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 you 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
(39:23):
stars say I'm not going you, stars just don't sit.
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.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
They'll always get bat with a number of forty nine
ers players who had requested trades demanded trades. Maybe not
as clunky with all the social media crap that he's done.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Oh it could be right before. It 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. It 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. Are a team being mentioned? You
(40:08):
got the Chargers being met like, you got a lot
of teams that potentially get into the branded AYUK sweepstakes again.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
You come for AYUK, you leave the demo. Hey, AYUK
looks great? But can I interest you? And no, don't
show me that demo, Samuel No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
No, no, Miny Johnet but still runs and literally will
run really well for you.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
All Right, how much less? I'm not saying I'm gonna
do it, but how much less?
Speaker 5 (40:35):
Come on?
Speaker 1 (40:35):
How what happens exit out about of Fresco exit swalling down?
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.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
This is Fox.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
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
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Jason Smith's Show with My Best Friend Mike Harmon live
from the Tirack dot Com studios where everybody's wearing cowboy hats?
Now who following the All Star Game in Texas? The
American League wins ten out of the last eleven years.
Now they win at five to three. Jaron Duran of
the Red Sox as your MVP, tie breaking two run homer,
(41:22):
stealing the MVP away from Shoho Tani.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
Well, I mean, the National League thought they would win
the game because they stole Otanni from the America.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
Sure League, Sure, and for a while it looked like
that was a pretty good strategy.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
So to break this down and what is next now
as we look ahead of the second half Major League Baseball,
nobody better than a guy right now who I'm sure
is wearing a cowboy hat practicing the national anthem. MLB
Network insider, Fox Sports Radio Baseball insider, longtime front of
the show, John Palmrosi, John Paul, what's happening, Buddy, I
am doing outstanding.
Speaker 5 (41:55):
Congratulations to the American League and most especially Aaron durand
what a journey for him to be the All Star
Game MVP. And now, as of a few minutes ago,
the second half begins but it was a pretty entertaining
Midsummer Classic, I would say, for all of us to enjoy.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
You know, I got to say that it looked pretty
much early on, Okay, NL's gonna win, Otani's going to
be your MVP, and all of a sudden, the American
League does what it's done over the course past decade plus.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Is there is there a reason?
Speaker 5 (42:27):
Why?
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Is this just a way it's going?
Speaker 1 (42:29):
The American League has been winning these All Star Games
ten out of the last eleven years.
Speaker 5 (42:33):
Yeah, it's a great question, and certainly it's to your point.
It's been the way that it's gone for the last
couple of decades, really ever since the tie and O
two and then the this time it counts era and
then now back to the core mission of the also,
which is to entertain and have fun. And even Paul
Schimes on the mound and showy Otani in the batter's
(42:56):
box were not enough for the National League tonight. I
think that I'll say this that the American League, It's
not necessarily true this year in terms of these two teams,
although certainly one of them, one of the representatives of
the Redstocks was the MVP tonight. The Yankees and Red
Sox for a long time, and probably in the last
(43:17):
half a decade plus, the Astros to an extent, have
really driven a lot of the competitive nature of the
American League to where if you want to be a
good team, you're going to have to have stars and
talent to keep up and compete and maintain the level
of the Red Sox, the Yankees, and more recently the Astros.
Now it's not always born out and who wins the
(43:39):
World Series in a given year. Of course, in this case,
the reigning World Series champions are an American League team.
But I think that for whatever reason, I really believe
that the American League has been probably the deeper league
top to bottom over the last twenty years. It seems
like this is in terms of star star power, and
that's of course with this game measures. I think the
(44:03):
results speak for themselves. And that being said, there's a
lot of stars in the Billions, a lot of stars
on the Dodgers, a lot of stars in the National League.
Just so happens that on these collection of ninth and
July it's been the advantage of the junior circuit.
Speaker 4 (44:16):
Now, one thing we talked about a little bit earlier
to JP was the fact that Juan Soto at least
made good on his promise. So we got the Skemes
versus Aaron Judges, and then Judge screwed us by swinging
at the first pitch.
Speaker 3 (44:28):
Dude, take a couple of pitches, man, give us some drama.
Speaker 5 (44:30):
Come on, John Paul, come on now. But how unique
was it that it was Judge's lineup spot that ultimately
produced the decisive runs. But it was by the Red
Sox who replaced the Yankee Duran who stepped into the
Judge's lineup spot, who actually delivered the big hit. So
(44:51):
a lot of really unique storylines. You're right, there was
the build up, here's the matchup, we've talked about it
all week, and the swings at the first and so
now now let's let's take a step back and say this.
You know, Aaron Judge in that ballpark gave us home
run sixty two, so he has done plenty of work
in that particular stadium to give us memories for a lifetime.
(45:14):
It just so happens that tonight versus Paul Skeins was
not one of those nights.
Speaker 1 (45:21):
John Paul Morosi with us the Jason Smithscher with Mike
Harmon Lifethtirack dot Com Studios. All right, so, John Paul,
you got to help us out here. You talked about
Jaron Durant being your MVP. Great story. They got the
MVP wrong. They got the MVP wrong because the MVP
should have gone to the American League as a whole
for overcoming those jerseys and finding a way to win.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
I mean, I just call it like I see it,
John Paul. Just call it like I see it.
Speaker 5 (45:45):
So that's very fair. I do think that. And the commissioner,
as you probably have seen, the Commissioner is evidently a
loyal listener of the program because he acknowledged me. There's
been some conversation with going back to the original jerseys, which,
to be honest, is what I would prefer. If I'm
(46:07):
being honest here, I like the old school jerseys. I
like as you know, as a Tiger fan growing up,
we didn't have a whole lot, but darn it, I
wanted to see Travis Ryman's jersey on the field. I
wanted to see Tony Clark's jersey on the field. I
wanted to see Todd Jones's jersey on the field. Brian Moehler.
I wanted to see my guy in the All Star Game,
(46:28):
and I wanted to wait around and make sure that
I was at my buddy Kyle's house watching the game,
which we did it every year. I wanted to see
the Tiger get into the game with the old English
tea best uniform in sports on the field. So I
think that's the emotional part of it, which I think
in baseball in this case is the right part of it.
(46:50):
By the way, By the way, we are all part
of the Fox Sports radio family. We are all connected.
And even though I'm very rare in studio with you,
although I was last year, as you remember, well, yeah,
but can I share this with you? Hit me that
I believe this that I have driven past the Tairaq
(47:12):
dot Com corporate headquarters more recently than either of you,
because I did that last week South Bend, Indiana, on
my way back from Chicago in a game, I drove
by and out of my beautiful window on the turnpike,
I turned to my right and I said, tire rack
dot Com. That's my studio. Those are my guys. And
(47:36):
so I felt, as you can imagine, this immense pride
to be connected to ty Iraq via Fox Sports Radio
that I felt like I was at my home stadium
when I drove Fasset on the expressway. It was a
pretty cool experience. I gotta be honest about that.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
Well, that's a great story and it's awesome to hear it,
but that disqualifies you from the big Tirac dot com
promotion winning the free tires of Summer. You're now disqualified
from winning.
Speaker 5 (47:59):
Now because you are because I'm now part of the family.
Speaker 3 (48:02):
I'm sorry you can't know you're part of the family.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
You saying drive right by the studio in reality might
have been I stopped in. I brought some coffee for
the guys, I got, I got some tires.
Speaker 3 (48:11):
I walked back. I mean, I don't know where that is.
I gave them some notes on the game I was
about to do.
Speaker 5 (48:16):
Yeah, in in fairness, In fairness, I was not aware
that it was that the headquarters was located in South End.
And to anybody, and I think this certainly fits both
of you, to anyone who was driven on on a
turnpike before you you, it's not as like, oh, there's
there's the headquarters. I'm going to go get off the
(48:37):
road here and go visit them. If you're on a turnpike,
you might have to wait twenty miles and then double
back twenty five more to be able to get off
and go there. And I would also say, to my defense,
I had my wife and three kids with me, which
would have been as you know, as soon as you
peel off the road, Dad, where are my snacks? I
want sour patch kids, I want a flurpy. So like
(49:00):
there were some family considerations there, Leave that as it may.
Proud member of the tyre rock dot com family.
Speaker 1 (49:06):
You're also from Michigan. You had allowed to go to
South Bend unless you go into a game. Come, I
mean that's I mean, they're gonna take away your Michigan card.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
For that, you have to move to Canada.
Speaker 5 (49:16):
So we're going deeper into the roads and the family
at Tenuary. But here we are. So I'm gonna tell
you we were getting on it. We were on our
way back from from doing a game in Chicago. My
family came with me and we stopped and we had
an amazing dinner in South Bend at the campus at
the Campus Inn right across from the stadium. Took a
beautiful walk around the campus. I shared this with Brady
(49:37):
Quinn on the morning show, so, uh, you know, we're
part of the family here South End. Loved it. Campus
is great. I hope they don't provoke my Michigan residency
for all these nice things.
Speaker 3 (49:47):
I'm thinking about under Dames and then like, we need
to do a remote there on a Friday during football
seam and then I stow we should and then put
in the back of my car, and no one knows
where it is right now, but I amn't.
Speaker 5 (50:01):
You absolutely need to do that. It's dropt you through
the show from there and then be at Notre Dame
Stadium in time for the game.
Speaker 3 (50:09):
Well, we get to bring the statue back that you stole.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
I can see the cables from the back of his
car putting it around the Frank Lady statue, pulling out
and dropping along the freely.
Speaker 3 (50:19):
You just hear that.
Speaker 5 (50:23):
No, no, no, I very respectful. I was. I had to.
I was with so I brought my daughters and admittedly,
I'll just say this, I am I love being a dad.
I have done a really poor job of educating my
children about sports. Like they like this will sound funny,
they really don't know a lot I mean, they know
(50:43):
a lot about other things, but they don't know the
stuff that I knew when I was their age. So
I were walking around the stadium. I said, girls, look,
it's it's the statue of the legendary coach. And they're
like saying a new Man. Girls, Girls, whoa Okay, listen
(51:05):
one of the most important figures in American sports in
the first half of the twentieth century. Uh yeah, new Roxy, Yes, Newt.
You know, like the movie, remember Ronald Reagan played the Gipper.
They're like, they're like, who are all of these people?
Speaker 3 (51:19):
I was like, oh my, Ronald Reagan, Dad, what are
you talking about?
Speaker 5 (51:23):
I was like, girls, we gotta I got I just
gotta be better. I got I gotta be better. I
gotta be a better dad. I mean, like visiting that
campus for my like, I was reflecting on a whole
lot of things, Like there's a lot of stuff that
I need to do a better job of teaching my
kids about. But this is why, uh, this is why
the tyracks dot com organization brings us all together.
Speaker 3 (51:44):
It's all true. Yeah, there's the other lesson to go through.
Speaker 5 (51:48):
Ronald the actor, all the caves. Girls, it's newt Roxy
win one for the Gipper. What does that mean? Oh
my gosh, guys, we're gonna have to watch the.
Speaker 4 (51:58):
Movie now, we've got a lot of had It's Sean
Morossi with us here at John Morossi where you find
him on Twitter. Leave out the ahe because Mom said so,
Hi Mom, j O an M O R O s
I MLB Network. He's got the podcast. Hall of Fame
Induction weekend coming up, one of the greatest weekends. If
you can ever get out to Cooperstown, folks, I implore
you find it. Find your way out there for one
(52:20):
of these induction weekends. But jp second half, starting on Friday,
those Red Sox will be in town to face the Dodgers.
A glass now kershaw on the men doing their rehabs
and everything else, and we've talked about it, but how
active are they and what do they need beyond the
starting pitch here or two?
Speaker 3 (52:38):
What else do they need to do?
Speaker 5 (52:41):
They need some work on this roster, Mike, And it's
amazing to think that as of Sunday when they got
walked off by the Tigers for the second straight day,
the Dodgers needed the All Star break more than about
any other team in the sport, because their rotation at
that point was Paxton Stone and three open Basically, they
(53:02):
they are short on pitching. And I'm gonna mention this
stat to you, and Justin behind the glass probably is
aware of this, but I'll mention it anyway. The Dodgers
have played fifteen straight postseason games without their starting pitcher
recording it out in the sixth inning. Fifteen in a row. Fifteen.
(53:26):
That's a lot of playoff games where basically Dave Roberts
has just not had not had horses to go to
to be able to utilize his bullpen when he wants to.
And I'll say this, if that streak continues, they're gonna
get bounced from the first couple rounds of this playoff
run too. They're just there. You cannot go series after
(53:46):
series after series chasing the whole pitching plans because your
guys who are max velocity are on the injured list
and you can only go three and four inings with
your openers. It's just doesn't work. And it has worked
for them since the World Series in twenty which, by
the way, back at that point in time, Buhler was
throwing ace type innings, Kershaw was going deeper into games.
(54:08):
They needed a better plan. And so that's why, and
Tom Berduci's reported on this and others why they're somewhat
desperate to get Trek Skouble or Garrett Crochet, whoever it
might be. They need two starters, two and I think
that the lineup is a little bit light right now.
Monsey being out hurts them. I think there are definitely
(54:29):
some players that can help them out. You know, do
you look at a Nico Horner from Chicago? Maybe do
you look at Yanni Diez from the Rays. I think
he'd be a great fit if you can have him
play some third base. But they've got some work to do.
This is a team that right now. The Phillies proved
it last week. The Phillies are clearly a better team
(54:50):
right now than the Dodgers, just up to the top
to bottom. They're just better and Andrew Friedman and Brandon Gomes.
They've got a busy couple weeks. The deadline is less
than two weeks from right now, and they've got some
work to do.
Speaker 3 (55:01):
All right.
Speaker 1 (55:02):
So let's send here John Paul. If I said to you,
the biggest name to be dealt that the deadline is blank.
Who are you gonna give me? And you can't give
me Alonso because the Mets are in the playoffs right now.
Speaker 5 (55:14):
The Mets are in the play miss the biggest name
in the dance in the dance, Okay, I'm gonna give
you this name, Boba Schett. I think that as as
disappointing as his first half has been, he is a
former batting champion, All Star type player. And the Toronto
(55:35):
Blue Jays they have they have played in such a
way this year that it's time for them to move
on from some of their core guys. I don't think
they're gonna trade Vladdie. He'd be a massive name, because
Laddie would be a massive name. Scooba would be a
massive name. I think there's a chance that both those
players get moved, but the one on the I think
that Bo is a little more of a chance. Garrett
(55:57):
Crochet I would say there's probably better than if fifty
chances he'll go. But I think that Bo is about
the level that I feel comfortable saying. And we'll see
if the industry surprises us and that we see a
scoobl or a or a Bladdy move.
Speaker 1 (56:13):
As well, he's on Twitter at John Morosi. That is
at John Morosi. Also he's a guy driving down the
street trailing the Frank Lady statue. Uh. John Paul is
always appreciated, my friend. Enjoy the rest of the week.
We'll talk to you soon, buddy.
Speaker 3 (56:28):
You got it.
Speaker 5 (56:28):
Well, we've got elocution and annunciation lessons planning for the
Morosi girls tomorrow on how to say Newt Rockney and
to get it right. And we're gonna we're gonna work
on that one.
Speaker 3 (56:37):
No sour Patch kids unless you get that name right.
Speaker 5 (56:39):
All right, very good, Amen, God bless you, Thank you
so much.
Speaker 3 (56:42):
Thanks SA
