(00:52):
big Olympic basketball story in a couple of seconds, but first,
you know one thing. Watching the Olympics today, watching the
opening ceremonies, I really, I really wanted when they were
interviewing the basketball players, right they interviewed Asia Wilson and
Steph Curry, who were together, I really wanted some one
to say, Asia, high great, Hey can you talk about
what it means to be here at the Olympics, what
(01:14):
the experience is like so far, and why isn't Kitlyn
Clark on the team.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
And just let her go and see what she says.
I think that was the perfect opportunity. Although I'm gonna
go out on a limb and say, the rules of
engagement are, if you ask a question about Caitlin Clark,
you're going into the river.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah. No, yeah, that's when the pr person comes up
in the beginning. Okay, you could talk to her, no
questions about Kaitlyn Clark. Okay, no kateon Clark questions, or
I'm pulling her from the interview. I'm pulling her. Okay, Okay,
go go ahead.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
You ask me to standing there like it's a college
football game with the giant picture of Caitlyn Clark, as
if it's a play call.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
See, well, that's when you pivot and you go, well,
I know I can't ask Asian Wilson Asia, tell me
about the BIG's great. Hey, Steph Curry, you're here again
for the Olympics. Why don't you think Caitlin Clark is
on the Olympic team. I'm you to say I couldn't
ask you, you know, you're Steph Curry. What do you think?
Why is it Kaitlyn Clark on the team and he's
just staring at agent ball? Uh? I don't, Uh, boy,
(02:07):
where's a pr guy? To cut this thing short, we'll.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Step up here.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Your career as one of the greatest three point marksmen
in basketball history. But let me ask you, this is
Kaitlyn Clark a better point guard than you? It seems
like you guys have similar games. But wow, she's a
better passer. I really, I mean she leads the league
in assists. You've never let the league in assists, not
even close, Steph? I mean, is she a better all
(02:32):
around player than you are? Let's say, you know, boy,
you know what I like? Kaylyn Clark makes a lot
of game winning shots in the final minute. How come
you can't make shots in the final minute?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
How come?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
How comes? Steph? Steph?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
What?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
This is a fun this is this is a fun interview.
Where are you going? Come on? But that's the thing.
They're on a boat. They can't go very far.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Well, and you're his triumph the insult comic dog there
because he kind of speaks with a French accent.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
A boat.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
They're on boats that couldn't go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
It is appropriate as it is the sixteenth anniversary Step Brothers.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
This is not the Catalina wine mixer.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
No, no, but dude, hey if it's speaking of Catalina
on boats, like you know this whole thing. Watching the
teams go by on boats, I felt like I was
watching like the we have a big uh here in
l a h A Marina del Rey holiday boat crews right,
sure where all the boats get And I'm sure they
do this in a bunch of other in others write
(03:25):
them up. Yeah, you know ship boats of personal boats.
A people dress up and go on them. They put
Christmas lights on a holiday lights and they parade around
the harbor and people go down and watch. And that's
kind of what I felt like I was watching with this,
like oh, here's some people on the boat, like and
they're waving to you. They're on the boat waving them Yeah, little.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Uniforms on right, the coordinated outfit like it's a cosplay thing.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, no, it's great, or like who are you? We're
the office? Great and we're on a booze cruise. We're
going up the sand and back down. How you do?
And you always have to wave to people on boats
like it's a thing. So I'm waving to you require this.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
What do you watch the line for me? Go ahead,
boats and.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Boats and boats and birds. Incorrect, Oh, I know what
you're well enough, time is now elapsed.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
You can just say it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
No I can't. It's not past ten o'clock.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Well, Harmon's trying to get you fired.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I can't say a past ten o'clock. I can't say
past ten o'clock. But I know what you're saying. Not
from step brothers. I know it's past eleven o'clock East Coast. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, America.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
We love you wherever you are.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
We can we can do that again. After ten o'clock.
We are in what when TJ when talking about boats,
we are in what's called safe harbor on the radio.
We can do that.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, but he was just trying to get you to
talk about your favorite implement.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
For guard guard kill.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Sure, Yeah, a lot of tilling going on. Look, the
big thing that we're gonna see this weekend, the first
big marquee event of the Olympics. United States Olympics men's team.
They play on Sunday, their first game. And to say
that their preparation has been uneven. Would be very kind.
You've needed Lebron James to rescue them twice, including against
(05:19):
South Sudan, which is probably gonna be a movie at
some point, except they're gonna change the ending. Hey, Lebron,
is it okay? If you miss at the end in
Sudan wins it? Okay? If we do that, is it okay?
Is it?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
But I cooked that guy?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Did you see me?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
He said, you want to play me one on one?
And I said, yes, sir, I do.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
So.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Their first game is Sunday, and look likely they're going
to win the gold medal. But you have a lot
of good teams. Look, they play Serbia Sunday and Serbia
is not bad. You have a lot of good teams.
And the big question is always, well, I don't understand
why do we struggle? Why do we struggle? Why do
we struggle? Why are we not winning bigger than this?
And you hear the same thing from everybody, Well, the
(05:56):
other countries have all caught up, which that was a
great reason like fifteen years ago. But we still have
the best players in the world. Why why do we
still struggle against other competition? Even if Hey, what if
they have. If great that Jokic is playing, but we
still want it, wint. Why do we struggle? Right, we
have twelve of the best players on the planet. Why
(06:18):
do we still struggle? It's kind of a it's kind
of a lazy answer to say the other teams are
well because, of course the other countries have gotten better.
Of course they have. I mean, that's just how it
goes over.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
It's been a thirty two year run up.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yes, no one's taking pictures next to Charles Barkley anymore.
Like that's like, that's like Ellen gone.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I do like some of those old photos though, Yeah,
they are good. They had a chuckle everywhere. A lot
of the guys they're playing against look like Grandville waiters
looking out people.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Remember when we won those first two gold medals, when
every game by fifty points, We beat Angola, we beat
all these countries all But you want to know why,
and it's and it's pretty easy, right you watch this,
I'll tell you why they struggle. It takes too long
for Team USA to figure out their roster and who
plays where. That's all it is, okay, because what people
(07:06):
don't understand are the rules in FOBA basketball. How much
different they are from the NBA, and how not every
star player in the NBA his game is made for
the Olympics, right, like Joel Embiid's game of getting the
ball on the paint and drawing contact and trying to
get to the free throw line on one leg. That
doesn't work right. It doesn't work, And you could see
(07:28):
why Joel Embiid has struggled so much over the course
of the past couple of weeks. With the United States
playing all these games. It takes too long to figure
out who's going to play because they don't have enough
time together. A lot of these other teams, they all
have more time to figure out and they know the
international game better. Because the biggest things are the games
are shorter, right, and that's a big thing to get
(07:50):
used to. Your sense of urgency has to be there
from the jump. The pace of the game is a
lot faster, and teams shoot threes way more than you think.
That's the biggest thing. The games are shorter. The pace
is faster, and teams put up threes and all of
a sudden couple of three because it's such a big
part of the game. It's a different way if you
(08:10):
don't get back defensively. If you're still trying to move
around and try to figure something out, they're gonna hit
threes on you and suddenly, boy, we're just up by seven.
Now it's a four point game. Our guys are sucking win.
There's new guys coming in now. Guys are only playing sixteen,
eighteen minutes. You can see why we struggle just because
the game is so different. Now, if we had a
longer time and this is on Steve KURTI try to
(08:32):
do it faster because you know the players, if they
had more time to figure out, Okay, this is who
needs to play, right, this is our guy, and these
are the guys we're gonna ride all the way through.
These guys are gonna play thirty minutes. The other guys
are gonna play eight or nine minutes. It's hard to
juggle the egos, right. Like Rick Buker told us the
other day, says, hey, what if Steve Kerr looks at
(08:53):
things and says, hey, my best guys are Tatum and
White and Bam and Ad and suddenly at the end
of games Lebron and Steph and Kad and beat her
on the bench Like that's a tough thing, some tough
thing to walk back to the bench and see those
guys sitting on the bench going, yeah, I'm going Derek
White to close this game out, Lebron, how do you
feel about that? But this is the way the game is.
(09:13):
It's a different game, and you'll see it on our players'
faces when they're sucking win even though they're only playing
sixteen or eighteen minutes. If the United States could figure
out their team faster and figure out who plays faster
and be stronger with that and not worry about egos
or anything else, they would be much better off and
we would continue to motor towards gold medals. But because
(09:35):
we don't have that chemistry right away and it takes
time to figure it out, right, like Steve Kerr may
not figure out what is rotations until we get into
the metal round. Boh, I'm not gonna let Joel Embiid
only play fifteen. I got to give Joel Embiid more
time instead of saying, hey, let me make a tough
decision and Joel Embiid, you're not playing right. I mean,
it's a good way to get everybody's attention by saying, hey,
(09:56):
if you don't play well right away, you're gonna sit
on the bench. But Steve Kerr also, I'm going back
to the NBA after this, and i gotta deal with
all these guys for the next te who knows how
many years. So it's a difficult situation. But that's the
biggest thing. If you could find your team early. You know,
these are our starters, they're gonna play the lion's share
of the minutes. These are our bench guys coming in.
We know we need bet we need good defenders on
(10:18):
the wing. And that's why Jason Tatum is probably gonna
wind up playing a lot. It's why White's gonna play,
why Drew Holliday is gonna play a lot. Once they
figure that out, hey, we'd be much better off. But
it just takes too long and there's too much stuff
going on to try to just out talent anybody. We're
not gonna go and out talent people. We really have
to get into into playing by the rules of FOEBA
(10:39):
and constructing the team accordingly and getting your rotation down
way before. Hey, we'll figure this out during the tournament.
So it's so to see why they struggle. That's why
they struggle. It's not as simple as all the rest
of the league, rest of the world is caught up.
Yeah they're better, we should still be winning. But this
is not NBA games, right, We're not playing NBA rules,
We're not playing an NBA arenas. It's a different game,
(11:01):
and some players adjust to it better and you just
have to find those guys faster, and when you do that,
then we'll go back to winning every game by twenty
twenty five points.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Pace a play.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Owing a nod to Rob Manford, size of the court style,
the fact that you only have so much of a
run up in terms of practicing, because I mean, how
many sloppy turnovers have you seen in each of these
games where it looks like we're playing an NBA All
Star game, or you're watching when the Globetrotters come to
town and they try something great, it's like, now, no,
(11:33):
give me a second take. I can make that pass.
I promise. So you get some of that. You talk
about embiid and lumbering around, and you know, I hate
to say it, right, you're wearing the US colors and
you're part of the pomp and circumstance of this opening
ceremony and getting ready for all that. You're also talking
about very large brands. You mentioned the word ego. How
(11:56):
many guys had to be, you know, coerced to. I'm
in with promises of playing time, rotationally, starting positions whatever.
Steve Kurrs got to just realize in three weeks he
can tell these guys all to go to hell. The
only guy's got to deal with Steph Curry, Right, that's it.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
He's got to.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Play against the rest of them, but he doesn't have
to deal with them for the rest of you know,
his coaching reality until the next cycle of things. So so
from where I sit, you know, he says, blank you,
I'm doing what it takes to win. So if that means,
you know, the hockey line change of the next five
become course, Remember they weren't calling them starting lineup. It
(12:35):
was first five and next five, all of that in
the first of these warm ups. That is as sooner
he gets to that, the better. But you know, a
little bit of cohesion and being willing to slow down
the pace. Right, if you can't go at the breakneck pace,
guess what, get into your offensive set and stop throwing
the ball into.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
The fifth row. It's it's it's going to be imperfect,
and it's just gonna be does the United Are we
still gonna be able to just throw the best players
out there and they will their way to victory? And
and because Jason Tatum gets hot or somebody else gets hot,
or Lebron gets hot and somebody misses a three or
they can we can get rescued by them. Like that's
(13:17):
what it's gonna be until we figure out a better
way to plan for the Olympics. That's just how that's
how it is. Because I because I hear your point
on Steve Kurse, I just got to worry about Steph.
But this is everybody again, and you don't know, it's
a lot, it's a lot of other things that go
into it. With other players, you know they're gonna want
to come play. I'll call them out here. There's gonna
be problems. I mean, there's a life after the Olympics.
(13:38):
And I get that it's tough. And maybe this is
why you know, coach k was good for so I
could coach the pros, right, I don't have to worry
about them at all. I'm at Duke. I don't give
a crap. Steve Kerrs got to worry about politics a
little bit. So, I mean, there's definitely some things that
you can do to make it a little bit better
and a little bit more conducive for the United States
to win.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I would say thats for coach k and now for
Kerr one of their best assets. Get ties back to
Phil Jackson. They've managed egos pretty well, right, might be
some dust ups, flare ups, whatever, but the winning kept coming.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
All right. He's got three weeks to figure it out.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swallen down The Jason

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon live from the ti iraqt Com studios.
And you know, I'm starting to come around to a
little bit of how you know, I've been thinking about how,
you know, the Mets should probably buy Grimace from McDonald's
because the number one wild guard of the National League.
(16:15):
But you know, how do you not have Grimace carrying
the uh, the flag for the United States? How do
you have Grimace on that boat? I mean, hey, don't
get me wrong, Lebron look great carrying that flag. We'll
get to that in a second. But how do you
not have Grimace do it?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Yeah, there's a whole other storyline with the Lebron carrying
the flag, but that that's uh, We'll get to that
in a minute.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
What do you mean I have Grimace holding that flag?
Man waving to everybody, Look at Grimace with the flag?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Could mean, Mike, what can I mean?
Speaker 3 (16:42):
You know, historical things regarding US national anthems and things
of that nature.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Oh, I thought you were gonna say how people were
comparing him to George Washington while he's holding that flag.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Oh no, no, no, well I mean that, you know, you.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Could go through historical paintings and representations and and and
and match those up these days. But yeah, Grimace is
not the great unifier that you think he is. He
is for the Mets, doesn't mean it applies. You don't think,
you know, I think you don't think a bunch of
other fan bases are tired of him.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Well, well that's because he's look what he's doing for
the Mets.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
No, but that's what I mean. You know, doesn't mean
it's necessarily going to translate. You know, we talked about
it earlier. You know, you might want to sign him.
You've got proof of concept for the Mets, but not
all organizations respawn the same way, uh to fast casual
dining establishments.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I mean, it was it was a very powerful picture,
the one of Lebron holding the flag in the ranks,
like all the opening ceremonies, that the rain was everywhere,
it was awful weather like that.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
What about the mass park core guy?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Oh yeah, how great was that? That was one of
the highlights. Keep following him, I'm not fucking don't slip
and fall, don't slip and fall that well, because depending
on the camera angle though, like at the points you're like,
all right, you forget that it's actually really raining, yeah,
all right, with the way the camera and the way
it displayed, and then at other point it's like, wow,
it is absolutely pouring.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, Like in the picture of Lebron where he's at
where it's it's uh, everybody looking ahead and Lebron's kind
of on the on the right side of the picture,
he's holding the flag and see the rain pouring. You know.
I saw, Oh, it looks like George Washington crossing the
Delaware all this. I looked that. I said, you know
what it looks like. It looks like when you go
to a museum and you go into a room and
it's this huge, like thirty foot tapestry that depicts like
(18:32):
either some kind of crazy battle from like five hundred
years ago, or it's just a scene from a town
like it this way, and here's you know, here's women
who are nursing babies, and here's guys who were fighting
other clans who have come from somewhere else. It's like
you see, and here's this big taperson that was painted
hundreds and hundreds of years ago, thousands of years ago,
(18:52):
depicting this or the battle scenes where here's the here's
the the English soldiers and the American soldiers and and
and there, and there's cannon and there's just like this
mass group of people just fighting. Like that's kind of
what it reminded me of. Like I could walk into
an Olympics museum and go, oh, yeah, that very famous
picture of Lebron. Look at that right there holding the flag,
and it looks like a whole big the tapestry, like
(19:15):
this thirty foot tapestry of one of those things.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Well, I mean I always say we weave a rich
tapestry of stories and predictions and through lines and content
and information being free and all that stuff. I mean,
that is where you're headed with this kind of imagery.
Maybe it could be a photo mosaic of all the
biggest moments that they have during these Olympics to come.
(19:38):
And now you're really staring at that wall, because there's
that three point of that Lebron hit, you know, with
two minutes left in that opening match against Serbia.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Or maybe there's.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
The ball sailing into the fifth row for the fourteenth
turnover and the next picture of Lebron with his arms
up like he did with j R.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Smith all those years ago.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I mean, you could do all of that and it's
woven within that tapestry that you're now staring at it amusing.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
We already have a couple of things, right you have
you have Lebron holding the flag. Yeah, you have the
lighting of the torch, right, you have that, And you
have the Canadian drone flying over the New Zealand practice.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
That's what's that?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh, that's the drone flying over everything.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
We get a picture. It does that when you back
out and you see the full picture. Is that the
guy in a prison suit for the time he's about
to serve looks like is that the Hamburgerer?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
No? No, I know the grimaces there ever. No, that's
actually a guy who actually went to jail because of
the video that got out.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
That's how much he had conviction and spirit for his country.
He was willing to do time because they're never taking
away that metal from the last Olympics.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You could have it when you can bry it from
my gold dead head.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Look, I'll double down on a bowl prediction because I
feel I feel more confident about this with each passing day.
Because look, this has been the big scandal so far
from the Olympics. Was team sent their whole coaching staff
home because they were caught with a drone over New
Zealand's practice at filmed their entire practice and this was
(21:11):
obviously not within the rules. And you think Canada took
care of it by saying, hey, we're we're getting rid of
that coach. That coach is going home, our assistants aren't
going to coach. Then it was the head coach is
not going to coach. Then it was the head coaches
going home. And then you had yesterday the news that hey,
Canada potentially been doing this for years and it was
(21:32):
part of the job. Interview, he would you tape? Other
teams need to be comfortable taping. How do you feel
about that video to us? How's your moral flexibility?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Like, hey, if we pay you in cash right before
you go out, are you okay with it? And so
you find out that this is part of it. WOA,
this is getting worse. And now the story today a
couple of sources that potentially the Canadian coach knew head
coach knew about the soccer drone. There's no way. I
can see Canada being allowed to play in the medal
(22:03):
round if they qualify and they won their first game
over New Zealand. I really think that at some point
the Canadian women's soccer team is going to be deemed
in eligible to play, because this story just gets worse
and worse every day. There's more and more. And I
get that, okay, this was one drone the Olympics, but
now everything from the past is coming up, and it's
can we really have them play? Because now other gold
(22:25):
medals that they won in the past are now out
for debate, and how did they win those? And look,
just ask the Russians when hey, hey, when you get
caught doping, hey, look what happens to you. So I
just don't know how the Olympics go forward and Canada
gets to play in the medal round. Now the easiest,
the best thing to do to get past this would
be to say, okay, we just deemed them in eligible
(22:47):
right now. And I get that it sucks, and I
get that it sucks for the players, but you know what, sorry,
this is what you got caught doing and apparently have
been doing for years, and it explains the rise of
Canadian soccer the last six or seven years from hey,
you're us another team to Wow, now you're in a
golden age. How'd you get to that golden age? We're
taping other teams practices, so we know what's going on
(23:07):
with them. So the easiest thing and the best thing
to do to get by it would be to stop
it now. But what do you do? Do you give
the teams playing Canada wins? Do you not? Would? I
would suggest that what's gonna happen is this, They're gonna
let Canada continue to play. They're gonna play the whole round.
Everybody gets to play. They play the schedule, and you
see that this as this controversy gets worse and worse
(23:29):
in the coming days, and when the group play ends,
they will tell Canada they can't play. They're ineligible to
move on into the metal round, and either the next
team from the from their bracket is gonna go in,
the next team from their group will go in, or
a team that has the most points and didn't make
it out of their group. They will replace one of
those teams with one of those two. And that's probably
(23:50):
the cleanest way to do it, to say, okay, let
Canada play. We'll let you play during the tourney here, okay,
But then when we go on and we talk about
getting to the knockout round, you're not gonna play, and
we're going to replace you, either with a third place
team in your bracket or in your group, or with
the team that had the most points and didn't make
it out. I would say that's probably what should be done,
and it will be done because this thing is that
(24:12):
Canada does not want a controversy, and in the Olympics
do not like controversy hanging over events. They're about what's
best in the world, and we are the best of
everybody and we do it right. And Olympic athletes are
what's pure about the world. And this is an this
is an event you can watch and you can consume
where you don't have to. We shouldn't have to worry
about things like steroids and cheating and all this, and
(24:32):
when we see it, we get rid of it. And
this is gonna be one of those stories. So, yeah,
I think Canada's got another couple of games and then
they're going home.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Yeah, it's it's it's that tough part, right, They've already
played a game, so you know that that's in the
books and minutes have been spent. I think they should
be allowed to go into the arena before the for
the rest of the this this round and be vociferously
booed and excoriated by by the fan bases and the
(25:01):
announcing teams because you get to keep bringing it back up. Realize,
this isn't gonna matter. This is all academic in terms
of what they actually put out here.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Because they're going home.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
They got to enjoy the opening ceremonies and tell you what,
they can come back and watch the podium ceremony after
the gold medal game. Otherwise you're gone beat it. Yeah,
it's it's tough, right because you can say, well, you know,
the players didn't necessarily know whatever else and the spirit
of competition, et cetera. But also if that's the inevitability
(25:33):
of where we're headed in this, because you can't sweep
this one under the rug, right, This isn't one of
those Hey, this is going to take nine years to
do a deep dive, you know, like any of the
FIFA investigations or many times it's been hey, how many
of these financial things are out there? I mean, think
about what we've watched what one hundred and fifty three
(25:56):
accusations against Man City and whatever else that that nothing
really happens.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
It just kind of goes into the ether. No. No,
this one's kind of a big deal.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
On the eve of the opening ceremony that we get
all these quotes from people that were trying to be
part of the process or were and we're already getting
to where we know what the jail sentences are. So
you want quick resolution, letting them play the next couple
of games. I could see where you just say, nope,
(26:26):
it's done. They go in as one nill and we
move forward. But how do you resolve you know, a
match already played, and.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Right, that's what I mean that you let them play
already so to say hey they forfeit all their games,
the teams in group normally would say, okay, but you
played a game and you lost. And unless unless that's
what you're gonna say is, hey they're going home and
we're not gonna make that result standard. We're gonna give
New Zealand the points for the game for a win,
(26:53):
and everybody gets the same amount of points. But boy,
can you can you take a game that has been
played taken off. That's why it's gonna be tough. It's
gonna be tough to do that. But look at somehow.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I mean, you went to VAR in a long form
and now you took the took the goals and the
win away.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I'm sorry, we're going back on this.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
We saw it with the delay the other day. I mean,
what was it an hour and almost two hours? Like, yeah,
it's a no goal.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
In an empty stadium, going to VAR now because I
know no one's gonna throw fireworks at me, So we're
gonna go, look at this, I'm gonna disallow the goal
really faster. We're gonna play the last three minutes and
then we're getting out of here. That's how it's gonna go,
all right, you guys.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah, now you're escaping like a referee after a botch
decision in any sport, but certainly in the world a
professional wrestling.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Hey, you know, speaking of the white side, this is
my favorite. This is my favorite army because this is
this is your guy. Yeah, Garrett Crochet really has become
the number one trade target for teams when it comes
to a starting pitcher, right, and some teams might you know,
look in the guy's young enough. Because he's young enough
under control, some teams may seem as a multi inning reliever.
(28:02):
But he has put out a couple of demands that
if he gets traded, he wants to continue to be
a starter. Okay, fair enough that happens. He's a number
one target by other teams. He can say stuff like that.
But he also said that if he's gonna pitch in
the playoffs, he wants a contracting stitch.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Why are you laughing? He wants my man, my man
in this world.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Look, we're gonna talk more about Jordan Love and toua
tongue I loa and guys getting big ass deals.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Uh, maybe some for us too.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
That the idea for Crochet is right now, you are
the bell of the ball.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
You are the number one guy in the marketplace.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Right Schoobl's out there. Clarity what they don't matter. It
don't matter because school is a long shot to get done.
Crochet's getting done and he knows it. So it's like,
you want me, I'm gonna be a pain in the
ass because I want to get paid when you have leverage.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
What's that They don't call him the cross for nothing?
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Well, that's it. He's swinging for the fences.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I need a contract except what for next year? No?
For this year? If you want me in.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
October, I need an extagine No I dig that. Yeah,
he's got a couple more years on the deal.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
And I know.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
I did my conversation with my longtime friends in Baltimore
and they brought that up, and I laughed, and I go,
how often do you have the opportunity when you're a
guy nobody knew who he was, Like, unless you really
follow the White Sox and or love you know, young
pitchers in minor league Baseball and whatever else, you don't
know who this guy is. He's like, he's got the
(29:34):
point where he's the number one target on everybody's radar
with so many teams that are in the playoff mix. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you swing for the fences and just throw out every
list of demands you possibly there's like a contract rider
for a big band. Let's see if you read all
of the details.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Exit out bout a Fresca, exit swollen down. The Jason

Speaker 1 (30:17):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
Live from the tirec dot Com Studios. All right, ty shirt,
how about this what you don't play this song?
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Nope, I'm done.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
You play this song one more time? And I ruined
Deadpool and Wolverine.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
It'll be the last show you ever do. I'll call
you blas Pool.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Deadpool is Darth Vader's dad. There, there you go.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
You're an idiot.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I ruined it for you. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Is there a timeline that they can explore with?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Might be there, might be? You never know, You never
you never know.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
I'm gonna have that ugly dog lick your face.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Dog.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
The ugly dog was the best. Oh my god, such
a long tongue. Oh my goodnes. The ugly dog was awesome.
So today Charles Barkley strikes back, much like the Empire,
did a big interview and put out a statement about
how upset he is that the NBA and TNT have
(31:29):
lost their relationship. The NBA, even though TNT matched the
bidding by Amazon, the NBA has said this week, Hey,
we're going to go with Amazon, and we are saying
goodbye to TNT, our partner the last thirty years, big
back and forth. TNT says we match. There's all kinds
of stuff going on in court now. The NBA says,
(31:50):
that's great, We're still going with Amazon. And Barkley put
out a statement today saying how upset he was and
how it went down, and that TNT never really had
a chance and that the NBA always wanted to go
with Amazon because of streaming rights. And then he gave
another interview where he said, well, if somebody wants to
call me, I'd be stupid not to listen. This on
(32:12):
the heels of Barkley saying I'm retiring from broadcasting a
few weeks ago. Now suddenly, oh, I'll listen to what
people have to say. You know, Barkley has become one
of those guys where unless it's basketball, unless it's something
like this, like like I can't listen to anything, he says,
because the guy, the guy just doesn't doesn't He has
no sense he has no sense of this story. Oh
(32:34):
of course, Oh, the NBA was never They always wanted
to go with Amazon because of the streaming rights of
the future. Yeah, that's business. That's how it goes.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
That was my point.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
The other man, though, Jason, that the matching wasn't just
here's the dollar amount. That's that's not what matching truly means.
It's not just You've still got to have a proposal
point for point that can rival or better the opposition,
and clearly, in a forward looking business and forward looking statement,
(33:06):
that was not gonna be true.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
No, but it's not even it's not even as much
about the fact that, hey, they didn't really match, it's
just it's the point of dude, this is how the
business world works. Man. You were scraping nickels together to
try to match the bid. You also had the head
of your network say, we don't need the NBA to
be successful. Do you think the NBA felt about that.
That's on you, that's on that's on TNT doing that.
(33:32):
And this is how the world goes. If there's somebody
out there with a better offer that looks like they're
more positioned for the future, that's where people are gonna
take their business Like Charles Barkley's like ignoring all of that.
Just he feels like, oh, we've been such a good
partner for so long, they should just sign with us.
It's not how it works. It'd be great if that's
how it worked, it'd be great, all of it do.
Weve been so good. That's just not how it goes.
(33:52):
And he and he's gone for the for the cheap
emotional aspect of all, and now they're getting rid of
inside the NBA now or now to get to do
the show together anymore, no one said that you can
still do it if you want to. You could probably
try to do it at TNT. De I don't know
what the money they're gonna pay you, Charles Barkley said.
Whatever TNT comes back with him with, he's not gonna
take less money.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
So he may told Pat dan Patrick he's making twenty
one a year.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, so okay, so you could do the show today.
You could continue to do the show together if you
want to. It wouldn't be it might not be a TNT,
but you could still do it. But he's decided to
just play the the the the emotional card in this
and not understand, not say oh, well they should reach
just go with them, because that's how it was. Yeah, no,
that's great, and that's how things live in a Pollyanna
type world where oh, this is the way it should be. No,
(34:38):
this is business, this is this is a this is
the NBA saying hey, you guys have been great, and
if you guys were doing great and you guys really
gave us a big offer and we felt you were
a positioned for the future, guess what, we would have
gone there with you. But we're going here because Amazon's
better position for the next few years and beyond. And oh,
by the way, it was TNT you said, hey, maybe
you should talk to Amazon about streaming rights, not thinking
(35:00):
we're the ones they're gonna push out at the end.
This is how it went. And Barkley's ignoring all of that, saying, hey,
aren't you said inside the NBA is gonna be ending. Yeah,
I am. But this is this is not anybody's fault.
This is not Big Bad Amazon's fault. They're bidding. They
want the basketball product, they want to make it into
something huge. They want to advance this. They don't want
to sit here and just throw out you know, graphics
(35:21):
from and pixels from nineteen eighty nine and say, here's
the NBA. I mean, this is how the world works.
And he's pretending he doesn't know how it works. And
when he says things like I'm retiring and now, oh
I'm gonna listen, like I can't. I can't take stock
in anything he says. When he talks about basketball, great,
but stuff like this, I just go, yeah, he's just
talking to hear himself talk.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Hey, it's a sad day when owners and commissioners choose
money over the fans.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Yeah, yeah, it just sucks.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Yeah. Yeah, my guy who said I'm not taking a
pay cut?
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Why knowing all those things, and I get it, heart
strings and play the violins. I feel bad for the
people behind the scenes that may have to go find
other gigs whatever. I get that part of the business too.
But form your own production company and keep them along.
That's part of the negotiating. But Warner Brothers Discovery should
have been going to Amazon saying, what do we have
in assets that we can partner up?
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Bad business all.

(00:52):
big Olympic basketball story in a couple of seconds, but first,
you know one thing. Watching the Olympics today, watching the
opening ceremonies, I really, I really wanted when they were
interviewing the basketball players, right they interviewed Asia Wilson and
Steph Curry, who were together, I really wanted some one
to say, Asia, high great, Hey can you talk about
what it means to be here at the Olympics, what
(01:14):
the experience is like so far, and why isn't Kitlyn
Clark on the team.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
And just let her go and see what she says.
I think that was the perfect opportunity. Although I'm gonna
go out on a limb and say, the rules of
engagement are, if you ask a question about Caitlin Clark,
you're going into the river.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah. No, yeah, that's when the pr person comes up
in the beginning. Okay, you could talk to her, no
questions about Kaitlyn Clark. Okay, no kateon Clark questions, or
I'm pulling her from the interview. I'm pulling her. Okay, Okay,
go go ahead.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
You ask me to standing there like it's a college
football game with the giant picture of Caitlyn Clark, as
if it's a play call.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
See, well, that's when you pivot and you go, well,
I know I can't ask Asian Wilson Asia, tell me
about the BIG's great. Hey, Steph Curry, you're here again
for the Olympics. Why don't you think Caitlin Clark is
on the Olympic team. I'm you to say I couldn't
ask you, you know, you're Steph Curry. What do you think?
Why is it Kaitlyn Clark on the team and he's
just staring at agent ball? Uh? I don't, Uh, boy,
(02:07):
where's a pr guy? To cut this thing short, we'll.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Step up here.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Your career as one of the greatest three point marksmen
in basketball history. But let me ask you, this is
Kaitlyn Clark a better point guard than you? It seems
like you guys have similar games. But wow, she's a
better passer. I really, I mean she leads the league
in assists. You've never let the league in assists, not
even close, Steph? I mean, is she a better all
(02:32):
around player than you are? Let's say, you know, boy,
you know what I like? Kaylyn Clark makes a lot
of game winning shots in the final minute. How come
you can't make shots in the final minute?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
How come?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
How comes? Steph? Steph?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
What?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
This is a fun this is this is a fun interview.
Where are you going? Come on? But that's the thing.
They're on a boat. They can't go very far.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Well, and you're his triumph the insult comic dog there
because he kind of speaks with a French accent.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
A boat.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
They're on boats that couldn't go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
It is appropriate as it is the sixteenth anniversary Step Brothers.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
This is not the Catalina wine mixer.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
No, no, but dude, hey if it's speaking of Catalina
on boats, like you know this whole thing. Watching the
teams go by on boats, I felt like I was
watching like the we have a big uh here in
l a h A Marina del Rey holiday boat crews right,
sure where all the boats get And I'm sure they
do this in a bunch of other in others write
(03:25):
them up. Yeah, you know ship boats of personal boats.
A people dress up and go on them. They put
Christmas lights on a holiday lights and they parade around
the harbor and people go down and watch. And that's
kind of what I felt like I was watching with this,
like oh, here's some people on the boat, like and
they're waving to you. They're on the boat waving them Yeah, little.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Uniforms on right, the coordinated outfit like it's a cosplay thing.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, no, it's great, or like who are you? We're
the office? Great and we're on a booze cruise. We're
going up the sand and back down. How you do?
And you always have to wave to people on boats
like it's a thing. So I'm waving to you require this.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
What do you watch the line for me? Go ahead,
boats and.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Boats and boats and birds. Incorrect, Oh, I know what
you're well enough, time is now elapsed.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
You can just say it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
No I can't. It's not past ten o'clock.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Well, Harmon's trying to get you fired.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I can't say a past ten o'clock. I can't say
past ten o'clock. But I know what you're saying. Not
from step brothers. I know it's past eleven o'clock East Coast. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, America.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
We love you wherever you are.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
We can we can do that again. After ten o'clock.
We are in what when TJ when talking about boats,
we are in what's called safe harbor on the radio.
We can do that.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, but he was just trying to get you to
talk about your favorite implement.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
For guard guard kill.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Sure, Yeah, a lot of tilling going on. Look, the
big thing that we're gonna see this weekend, the first
big marquee event of the Olympics. United States Olympics men's team.
They play on Sunday, their first game. And to say
that their preparation has been uneven. Would be very kind.
You've needed Lebron James to rescue them twice, including against
(05:19):
South Sudan, which is probably gonna be a movie at
some point, except they're gonna change the ending. Hey, Lebron,
is it okay? If you miss at the end in
Sudan wins it? Okay? If we do that, is it okay?
Is it?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
But I cooked that guy?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Did you see me?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
He said, you want to play me one on one?
And I said, yes, sir, I do.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
So.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Their first game is Sunday, and look likely they're going
to win the gold medal. But you have a lot
of good teams. Look, they play Serbia Sunday and Serbia
is not bad. You have a lot of good teams.
And the big question is always, well, I don't understand
why do we struggle? Why do we struggle? Why do
we struggle? Why are we not winning bigger than this?
And you hear the same thing from everybody, Well, the
(05:56):
other countries have all caught up, which that was a
great reason like fifteen years ago. But we still have
the best players in the world. Why why do we
still struggle against other competition? Even if Hey, what if
they have. If great that Jokic is playing, but we
still want it, wint. Why do we struggle? Right, we
have twelve of the best players on the planet. Why
(06:18):
do we still struggle? It's kind of a it's kind
of a lazy answer to say the other teams are
well because, of course the other countries have gotten better.
Of course they have. I mean, that's just how it
goes over.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
It's been a thirty two year run up.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yes, no one's taking pictures next to Charles Barkley anymore.
Like that's like, that's like Ellen gone.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I do like some of those old photos though, Yeah,
they are good. They had a chuckle everywhere. A lot
of the guys they're playing against look like Grandville waiters
looking out people.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Remember when we won those first two gold medals, when
every game by fifty points, We beat Angola, we beat
all these countries all But you want to know why,
and it's and it's pretty easy, right you watch this,
I'll tell you why they struggle. It takes too long
for Team USA to figure out their roster and who
plays where. That's all it is, okay, because what people
(07:06):
don't understand are the rules in FOBA basketball. How much
different they are from the NBA, and how not every
star player in the NBA his game is made for
the Olympics, right, like Joel Embiid's game of getting the
ball on the paint and drawing contact and trying to
get to the free throw line on one leg. That
doesn't work right. It doesn't work, And you could see
(07:28):
why Joel Embiid has struggled so much over the course
of the past couple of weeks. With the United States
playing all these games. It takes too long to figure
out who's going to play because they don't have enough
time together. A lot of these other teams, they all
have more time to figure out and they know the
international game better. Because the biggest things are the games
are shorter, right, and that's a big thing to get
(07:50):
used to. Your sense of urgency has to be there
from the jump. The pace of the game is a
lot faster, and teams shoot threes way more than you think.
That's the biggest thing. The games are shorter. The pace
is faster, and teams put up threes and all of
a sudden couple of three because it's such a big
part of the game. It's a different way if you
(08:10):
don't get back defensively. If you're still trying to move
around and try to figure something out, they're gonna hit
threes on you and suddenly, boy, we're just up by seven.
Now it's a four point game. Our guys are sucking win.
There's new guys coming in now. Guys are only playing sixteen,
eighteen minutes. You can see why we struggle just because
the game is so different. Now, if we had a
longer time and this is on Steve KURTI try to
(08:32):
do it faster because you know the players, if they
had more time to figure out, Okay, this is who
needs to play, right, this is our guy, and these
are the guys we're gonna ride all the way through.
These guys are gonna play thirty minutes. The other guys
are gonna play eight or nine minutes. It's hard to
juggle the egos, right. Like Rick Buker told us the
other day, says, hey, what if Steve Kerr looks at
(08:53):
things and says, hey, my best guys are Tatum and
White and Bam and Ad and suddenly at the end
of games Lebron and Steph and Kad and beat her
on the bench Like that's a tough thing, some tough
thing to walk back to the bench and see those
guys sitting on the bench going, yeah, I'm going Derek
White to close this game out, Lebron, how do you
feel about that? But this is the way the game is.
(09:13):
It's a different game, and you'll see it on our players'
faces when they're sucking win even though they're only playing
sixteen or eighteen minutes. If the United States could figure
out their team faster and figure out who plays faster
and be stronger with that and not worry about egos
or anything else, they would be much better off and
we would continue to motor towards gold medals. But because
(09:35):
we don't have that chemistry right away and it takes
time to figure it out, right, like Steve Kerr may
not figure out what is rotations until we get into
the metal round. Boh, I'm not gonna let Joel Embiid
only play fifteen. I got to give Joel Embiid more
time instead of saying, hey, let me make a tough
decision and Joel Embiid, you're not playing right. I mean,
it's a good way to get everybody's attention by saying, hey,
(09:56):
if you don't play well right away, you're gonna sit
on the bench. But Steve Kerr also, I'm going back
to the NBA after this, and i gotta deal with
all these guys for the next te who knows how
many years. So it's a difficult situation. But that's the
biggest thing. If you could find your team early. You know,
these are our starters, they're gonna play the lion's share
of the minutes. These are our bench guys coming in.
We know we need bet we need good defenders on
(10:18):
the wing. And that's why Jason Tatum is probably gonna
wind up playing a lot. It's why White's gonna play,
why Drew Holliday is gonna play a lot. Once they
figure that out, hey, we'd be much better off. But
it just takes too long and there's too much stuff
going on to try to just out talent anybody. We're
not gonna go and out talent people. We really have
to get into into playing by the rules of FOEBA
(10:39):
and constructing the team accordingly and getting your rotation down
way before. Hey, we'll figure this out during the tournament.
So it's so to see why they struggle. That's why
they struggle. It's not as simple as all the rest
of the league, rest of the world is caught up.
Yeah they're better, we should still be winning. But this
is not NBA games, right, We're not playing NBA rules,
We're not playing an NBA arenas. It's a different game,
(11:01):
and some players adjust to it better and you just
have to find those guys faster, and when you do that,
then we'll go back to winning every game by twenty
twenty five points.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Pace a play.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Owing a nod to Rob Manford, size of the court style,
the fact that you only have so much of a
run up in terms of practicing, because I mean, how
many sloppy turnovers have you seen in each of these
games where it looks like we're playing an NBA All
Star game, or you're watching when the Globetrotters come to
town and they try something great, it's like, now, no,
(11:33):
give me a second take. I can make that pass.
I promise. So you get some of that. You talk
about embiid and lumbering around, and you know, I hate
to say it, right, you're wearing the US colors and
you're part of the pomp and circumstance of this opening
ceremony and getting ready for all that. You're also talking
about very large brands. You mentioned the word ego. How
(11:56):
many guys had to be, you know, coerced to. I'm
in with promises of playing time, rotationally, starting positions whatever.
Steve Kurrs got to just realize in three weeks he
can tell these guys all to go to hell. The
only guy's got to deal with Steph Curry, Right, that's it.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
He's got to.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Play against the rest of them, but he doesn't have
to deal with them for the rest of you know,
his coaching reality until the next cycle of things. So so
from where I sit, you know, he says, blank you,
I'm doing what it takes to win. So if that means,
you know, the hockey line change of the next five
become course, Remember they weren't calling them starting lineup. It
(12:35):
was first five and next five, all of that in
the first of these warm ups. That is as sooner
he gets to that, the better. But you know, a
little bit of cohesion and being willing to slow down
the pace. Right, if you can't go at the breakneck pace,
guess what, get into your offensive set and stop throwing
the ball into.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
The fifth row. It's it's it's going to be imperfect,
and it's just gonna be does the United Are we
still gonna be able to just throw the best players
out there and they will their way to victory? And
and because Jason Tatum gets hot or somebody else gets hot,
or Lebron gets hot and somebody misses a three or
they can we can get rescued by them. Like that's
(13:17):
what it's gonna be until we figure out a better
way to plan for the Olympics. That's just how that's
how it is. Because I because I hear your point
on Steve Kurse, I just got to worry about Steph.
But this is everybody again, and you don't know, it's
a lot, it's a lot of other things that go
into it. With other players, you know they're gonna want
to come play. I'll call them out here. There's gonna
be problems. I mean, there's a life after the Olympics.
(13:38):
And I get that it's tough. And maybe this is
why you know, coach k was good for so I
could coach the pros, right, I don't have to worry
about them at all. I'm at Duke. I don't give
a crap. Steve Kerrs got to worry about politics a
little bit. So, I mean, there's definitely some things that
you can do to make it a little bit better
and a little bit more conducive for the United States
to win.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I would say thats for coach k and now for
Kerr one of their best assets. Get ties back to
Phil Jackson. They've managed egos pretty well, right, might be
some dust ups, flare ups, whatever, but the winning kept coming.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
All right. He's got three weeks to figure it out.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swallen down The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon lot from

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon live from the ti iraqt Com studios.
And you know, I'm starting to come around to a
little bit of how you know, I've been thinking about how,
you know, the Mets should probably buy Grimace from McDonald's
because the number one wild guard of the National League.
(16:15):
But you know, how do you not have Grimace carrying
the uh, the flag for the United States? How do
you have Grimace on that boat? I mean, hey, don't
get me wrong, Lebron look great carrying that flag. We'll
get to that in a second. But how do you
not have Grimace do it?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Yeah, there's a whole other storyline with the Lebron carrying
the flag, but that that's uh, We'll get to that
in a minute.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
What do you mean I have Grimace holding that flag?
Man waving to everybody, Look at Grimace with the flag?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Could mean, Mike, what can I mean?
Speaker 3 (16:42):
You know, historical things regarding US national anthems and things
of that nature.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Oh, I thought you were gonna say how people were
comparing him to George Washington while he's holding that flag.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Oh no, no, no, well I mean that, you know, you.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Could go through historical paintings and representations and and and
and match those up these days. But yeah, Grimace is
not the great unifier that you think he is. He
is for the Mets, doesn't mean it applies. You don't think,
you know, I think you don't think a bunch of
other fan bases are tired of him.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Well, well that's because he's look what he's doing for
the Mets.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
No, but that's what I mean. You know, doesn't mean
it's necessarily going to translate. You know, we talked about
it earlier. You know, you might want to sign him.
You've got proof of concept for the Mets, but not
all organizations respawn the same way, uh to fast casual
dining establishments.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I mean, it was it was a very powerful picture,
the one of Lebron holding the flag in the ranks,
like all the opening ceremonies, that the rain was everywhere,
it was awful weather like that.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
What about the mass park core guy?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Oh yeah, how great was that? That was one of
the highlights. Keep following him, I'm not fucking don't slip
and fall, don't slip and fall that well, because depending
on the camera angle though, like at the points you're like,
all right, you forget that it's actually really raining, yeah,
all right, with the way the camera and the way
it displayed, and then at other point it's like, wow,
it is absolutely pouring.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, Like in the picture of Lebron where he's at
where it's it's uh, everybody looking ahead and Lebron's kind
of on the on the right side of the picture,
he's holding the flag and see the rain pouring. You know.
I saw, Oh, it looks like George Washington crossing the
Delaware all this. I looked that. I said, you know
what it looks like. It looks like when you go
to a museum and you go into a room and
it's this huge, like thirty foot tapestry that depicts like
(18:32):
either some kind of crazy battle from like five hundred
years ago, or it's just a scene from a town
like it this way, and here's you know, here's women
who are nursing babies, and here's guys who were fighting
other clans who have come from somewhere else. It's like
you see, and here's this big taperson that was painted
hundreds and hundreds of years ago, thousands of years ago,
(18:52):
depicting this or the battle scenes where here's the here's
the the English soldiers and the American soldiers and and
and there, and there's cannon and there's just like this
mass group of people just fighting. Like that's kind of
what it reminded me of. Like I could walk into
an Olympics museum and go, oh, yeah, that very famous
picture of Lebron. Look at that right there holding the flag,
and it looks like a whole big the tapestry, like
(19:15):
this thirty foot tapestry of one of those things.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Well, I mean I always say we weave a rich
tapestry of stories and predictions and through lines and content
and information being free and all that stuff. I mean,
that is where you're headed with this kind of imagery.
Maybe it could be a photo mosaic of all the
biggest moments that they have during these Olympics to come.
(19:38):
And now you're really staring at that wall, because there's
that three point of that Lebron hit, you know, with
two minutes left in that opening match against Serbia.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Or maybe there's.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
The ball sailing into the fifth row for the fourteenth
turnover and the next picture of Lebron with his arms
up like he did with j R.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Smith all those years ago.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I mean, you could do all of that and it's
woven within that tapestry that you're now staring at it amusing.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
We already have a couple of things, right you have
you have Lebron holding the flag. Yeah, you have the
lighting of the torch, right, you have that, And you
have the Canadian drone flying over the New Zealand practice.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
That's what's that?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh, that's the drone flying over everything.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
We get a picture. It does that when you back
out and you see the full picture. Is that the
guy in a prison suit for the time he's about
to serve looks like is that the Hamburgerer?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
No? No, I know the grimaces there ever. No, that's
actually a guy who actually went to jail because of
the video that got out.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
That's how much he had conviction and spirit for his country.
He was willing to do time because they're never taking
away that metal from the last Olympics.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You could have it when you can bry it from
my gold dead head.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Look, I'll double down on a bowl prediction because I
feel I feel more confident about this with each passing day.
Because look, this has been the big scandal so far
from the Olympics. Was team sent their whole coaching staff
home because they were caught with a drone over New
Zealand's practice at filmed their entire practice and this was
(21:11):
obviously not within the rules. And you think Canada took
care of it by saying, hey, we're we're getting rid of
that coach. That coach is going home, our assistants aren't
going to coach. Then it was the head coach is
not going to coach. Then it was the head coaches
going home. And then you had yesterday the news that hey,
Canada potentially been doing this for years and it was
(21:32):
part of the job. Interview, he would you tape? Other
teams need to be comfortable taping. How do you feel
about that video to us? How's your moral flexibility?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Like, hey, if we pay you in cash right before
you go out, are you okay with it? And so
you find out that this is part of it. WOA,
this is getting worse. And now the story today a
couple of sources that potentially the Canadian coach knew head
coach knew about the soccer drone. There's no way. I
can see Canada being allowed to play in the medal
(22:03):
round if they qualify and they won their first game
over New Zealand. I really think that at some point
the Canadian women's soccer team is going to be deemed
in eligible to play, because this story just gets worse
and worse every day. There's more and more. And I
get that, okay, this was one drone the Olympics, but
now everything from the past is coming up, and it's
can we really have them play? Because now other gold
(22:25):
medals that they won in the past are now out
for debate, and how did they win those? And look,
just ask the Russians when hey, hey, when you get
caught doping, hey, look what happens to you. So I
just don't know how the Olympics go forward and Canada
gets to play in the medal round. Now the easiest,
the best thing to do to get past this would
be to say, okay, we just deemed them in eligible
(22:47):
right now. And I get that it sucks, and I
get that it sucks for the players, but you know what, sorry,
this is what you got caught doing and apparently have
been doing for years, and it explains the rise of
Canadian soccer the last six or seven years from hey,
you're us another team to Wow, now you're in a
golden age. How'd you get to that golden age? We're
taping other teams practices, so we know what's going on
(23:07):
with them. So the easiest thing and the best thing
to do to get by it would be to stop
it now. But what do you do? Do you give
the teams playing Canada wins? Do you not? Would? I
would suggest that what's gonna happen is this, They're gonna
let Canada continue to play. They're gonna play the whole round.
Everybody gets to play. They play the schedule, and you
see that this as this controversy gets worse and worse
(23:29):
in the coming days, and when the group play ends,
they will tell Canada they can't play. They're ineligible to
move on into the metal round, and either the next
team from the from their bracket is gonna go in,
the next team from their group will go in, or
a team that has the most points and didn't make
it out of their group. They will replace one of
those teams with one of those two. And that's probably
(23:50):
the cleanest way to do it, to say, okay, let
Canada play. We'll let you play during the tourney here, okay,
But then when we go on and we talk about
getting to the knockout round, you're not gonna play, and
we're going to replace you, either with a third place
team in your bracket or in your group, or with
the team that had the most points and didn't make
it out. I would say that's probably what should be done,
and it will be done because this thing is that
(24:12):
Canada does not want a controversy, and in the Olympics
do not like controversy hanging over events. They're about what's
best in the world, and we are the best of
everybody and we do it right. And Olympic athletes are
what's pure about the world. And this is an this
is an event you can watch and you can consume
where you don't have to. We shouldn't have to worry
about things like steroids and cheating and all this, and
(24:32):
when we see it, we get rid of it. And
this is gonna be one of those stories. So, yeah,
I think Canada's got another couple of games and then
they're going home.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Yeah, it's it's it's that tough part, right, They've already
played a game, so you know that that's in the
books and minutes have been spent. I think they should
be allowed to go into the arena before the for
the rest of the this this round and be vociferously
booed and excoriated by by the fan bases and the
(25:01):
announcing teams because you get to keep bringing it back up. Realize,
this isn't gonna matter. This is all academic in terms
of what they actually put out here.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Because they're going home.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
They got to enjoy the opening ceremonies and tell you what,
they can come back and watch the podium ceremony after
the gold medal game. Otherwise you're gone beat it. Yeah,
it's it's tough, right because you can say, well, you know,
the players didn't necessarily know whatever else and the spirit
of competition, et cetera. But also if that's the inevitability
(25:33):
of where we're headed in this, because you can't sweep
this one under the rug, right, This isn't one of
those Hey, this is going to take nine years to
do a deep dive, you know, like any of the
FIFA investigations or many times it's been hey, how many
of these financial things are out there? I mean, think
about what we've watched what one hundred and fifty three
(25:56):
accusations against Man City and whatever else that that nothing
really happens.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
It just kind of goes into the ether. No. No,
this one's kind of a big deal.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
On the eve of the opening ceremony that we get
all these quotes from people that were trying to be
part of the process or were and we're already getting
to where we know what the jail sentences are. So
you want quick resolution, letting them play the next couple
of games. I could see where you just say, nope,
(26:26):
it's done. They go in as one nill and we
move forward. But how do you resolve you know, a
match already played, and.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Right, that's what I mean that you let them play
already so to say hey they forfeit all their games,
the teams in group normally would say, okay, but you
played a game and you lost. And unless unless that's
what you're gonna say is, hey they're going home and
we're not gonna make that result standard. We're gonna give
New Zealand the points for the game for a win,
(26:53):
and everybody gets the same amount of points. But boy,
can you can you take a game that has been
played taken off. That's why it's gonna be tough. It's
gonna be tough to do that. But look at somehow.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I mean, you went to VAR in a long form
and now you took the took the goals and the
win away.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I'm sorry, we're going back on this.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
We saw it with the delay the other day. I mean,
what was it an hour and almost two hours? Like, yeah,
it's a no goal.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
In an empty stadium, going to VAR now because I
know no one's gonna throw fireworks at me, So we're
gonna go, look at this, I'm gonna disallow the goal
really faster. We're gonna play the last three minutes and
then we're getting out of here. That's how it's gonna go,
all right, you guys.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah, now you're escaping like a referee after a botch
decision in any sport, but certainly in the world a
professional wrestling.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Hey, you know, speaking of the white side, this is
my favorite. This is my favorite army because this is
this is your guy. Yeah, Garrett Crochet really has become
the number one trade target for teams when it comes
to a starting pitcher, right, and some teams might you know,
look in the guy's young enough. Because he's young enough
under control, some teams may seem as a multi inning reliever.
(28:02):
But he has put out a couple of demands that
if he gets traded, he wants to continue to be
a starter. Okay, fair enough that happens. He's a number
one target by other teams. He can say stuff like that.
But he also said that if he's gonna pitch in
the playoffs, he wants a contracting stitch.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Why are you laughing? He wants my man, my man
in this world.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Look, we're gonna talk more about Jordan Love and toua
tongue I loa and guys getting big ass deals.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Uh, maybe some for us too.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
That the idea for Crochet is right now, you are
the bell of the ball.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
You are the number one guy in the marketplace.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Right Schoobl's out there. Clarity what they don't matter. It
don't matter because school is a long shot to get done.
Crochet's getting done and he knows it. So it's like,
you want me, I'm gonna be a pain in the
ass because I want to get paid when you have leverage.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
What's that They don't call him the cross for nothing?
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Well, that's it. He's swinging for the fences.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I need a contract except what for next year? No?
For this year? If you want me in.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
October, I need an extagine No I dig that. Yeah,
he's got a couple more years on the deal.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
And I know.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
I did my conversation with my longtime friends in Baltimore
and they brought that up, and I laughed, and I go,
how often do you have the opportunity when you're a
guy nobody knew who he was, Like, unless you really
follow the White Sox and or love you know, young
pitchers in minor league Baseball and whatever else, you don't
know who this guy is. He's like, he's got the
(29:34):
point where he's the number one target on everybody's radar
with so many teams that are in the playoff mix. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you swing for the fences and just throw out every
list of demands you possibly there's like a contract rider
for a big band. Let's see if you read all
of the details.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
You play this song one more time? And I ruined
Deadpool and Wolverine.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
It'll be the last show you ever do. I'll call
you blas Pool.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Deadpool is Darth Vader's dad. There, there you go.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
You're an idiot.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I ruined it for you. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Is there a timeline that they can explore with?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Might be there, might be? You never know, You never
you never know.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
I'm gonna have that ugly dog lick your face.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Dog.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
The ugly dog was the best. Oh my god, such
a long tongue. Oh my goodnes. The ugly dog was awesome.
So today Charles Barkley strikes back, much like the Empire,
did a big interview and put out a statement about
how upset he is that the NBA and TNT have
(31:29):
lost their relationship. The NBA, even though TNT matched the
bidding by Amazon, the NBA has said this week, Hey,
we're going to go with Amazon, and we are saying
goodbye to TNT, our partner the last thirty years, big
back and forth. TNT says we match. There's all kinds
of stuff going on in court now. The NBA says,
(31:50):
that's great, We're still going with Amazon. And Barkley put
out a statement today saying how upset he was and
how it went down, and that TNT never really had
a chance and that the NBA always wanted to go
with Amazon because of streaming rights. And then he gave
another interview where he said, well, if somebody wants to
call me, I'd be stupid not to listen. This on
(32:12):
the heels of Barkley saying I'm retiring from broadcasting a
few weeks ago. Now suddenly, oh, I'll listen to what
people have to say. You know, Barkley has become one
of those guys where unless it's basketball, unless it's something
like this, like like I can't listen to anything, he says,
because the guy, the guy just doesn't doesn't He has
no sense he has no sense of this story. Oh
(32:34):
of course, Oh, the NBA was never They always wanted
to go with Amazon because of the streaming rights of
the future. Yeah, that's business. That's how it goes.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
That was my point.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
The other man, though, Jason, that the matching wasn't just
here's the dollar amount. That's that's not what matching truly means.
It's not just You've still got to have a proposal
point for point that can rival or better the opposition,
and clearly, in a forward looking business and forward looking statement,
(33:06):
that was not gonna be true.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
No, but it's not even it's not even as much
about the fact that, hey, they didn't really match, it's
just it's the point of dude, this is how the
business world works. Man. You were scraping nickels together to
try to match the bid. You also had the head
of your network say, we don't need the NBA to
be successful. Do you think the NBA felt about that.
That's on you, that's on that's on TNT doing that.
(33:32):
And this is how the world goes. If there's somebody
out there with a better offer that looks like they're
more positioned for the future, that's where people are gonna
take their business Like Charles Barkley's like ignoring all of that.
Just he feels like, oh, we've been such a good
partner for so long, they should just sign with us.
It's not how it works. It'd be great if that's
how it worked, it'd be great, all of it do.
Weve been so good. That's just not how it goes.
(33:52):
And he and he's gone for the for the cheap
emotional aspect of all, and now they're getting rid of
inside the NBA now or now to get to do
the show together anymore, no one said that you can
still do it if you want to. You could probably
try to do it at TNT. De I don't know
what the money they're gonna pay you, Charles Barkley said.
Whatever TNT comes back with him with, he's not gonna
take less money.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
So he may told Pat dan Patrick he's making twenty
one a year.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, so okay, so you could do the show today.
You could continue to do the show together if you
want to. It wouldn't be it might not be a TNT,
but you could still do it. But he's decided to
just play the the the the emotional card in this
and not understand, not say oh, well they should reach
just go with them, because that's how it was. Yeah, no,
that's great, and that's how things live in a Pollyanna
type world where oh, this is the way it should be. No,
(34:38):
this is business, this is this is a this is
the NBA saying hey, you guys have been great, and
if you guys were doing great and you guys really
gave us a big offer and we felt you were
a positioned for the future, guess what, we would have
gone there with you. But we're going here because Amazon's
better position for the next few years and beyond. And oh,
by the way, it was TNT you said, hey, maybe
you should talk to Amazon about streaming rights, not thinking
(35:00):
we're the ones they're gonna push out at the end.
This is how it went. And Barkley's ignoring all of that, saying, hey,
aren't you said inside the NBA is gonna be ending. Yeah,
I am. But this is this is not anybody's fault.
This is not Big Bad Amazon's fault. They're bidding. They
want the basketball product, they want to make it into
something huge. They want to advance this. They don't want
to sit here and just throw out you know, graphics
(35:21):
from and pixels from nineteen eighty nine and say, here's
the NBA. I mean, this is how the world works.
And he's pretending he doesn't know how it works. And
when he says things like I'm retiring and now, oh
I'm gonna listen, like I can't. I can't take stock
in anything he says. When he talks about basketball, great,
but stuff like this, I just go, yeah, he's just
talking to hear himself talk.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Hey, it's a sad day when owners and commissioners choose
money over the fans.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Yeah, yeah, it just sucks.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Yeah. Yeah, my guy who said I'm not taking a
pay cut?
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Why knowing all those things, and I get it, heart
strings and play the violins. I feel bad for the
people behind the scenes that may have to go find
other gigs whatever. I get that part of the business too.
But form your own production company and keep them along.
That's part of the negotiating. But Warner Brothers Discovery should
have been going to Amazon saying, what do we have
in assets that we can partner up?
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Bad business all.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
