here we sit, Thursday Night football, the twentieth game between
the Cowboys and the Giants that Al Michaels is done,
(01:00):
the big retrospective first Cowboy Giant game nineteen to eighty six.
Kind of a fun thing that did there in the
first quarter, and I don't know, I don't know where
Al's energy level is at this point. Early in the
second half of the Cowboys leading fourteen to night.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Oh, he's got himself a game.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
I mean, all those retrospectives and anything you do leading
in when you've got those packages ready and that's how
you lead.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
That means you're expecting a dog of the game.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Well, Al Michaels, you might have the dog in the
booth because that's the only dog you're seeing the night.
Because it's a pretty damn good game, though far I
don't know that it's good it alone. I didn't say
anything against Ben.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Wow, you're anti Ben.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
All I said was the only damn dog anybody seeing
right now. It's been a pretty good and competitive game.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
You're I know you're anti Ben.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Daniel Jones has been fantastic.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Think well, let's look, well, hold your horses on that.
Let's talk about the dog first. Why are you anti Ben?
Speaker 6 (01:55):
I did?
Speaker 7 (01:55):
It?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Wasn't anti Ben?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah you are? Yeah, you are bad big Come on.
Ben's living his best life, having doing great stuff up
and Kirk Kurbs broadcast game.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Well like the analogy that they were expecting a dog
of the game, which is what we normally get on
Thursday nights, and instead they actually got a competitive game
within that five and a half point spread.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Maybe that's why he's bringing the dog in. I mean,
bet Ben is living. Now forget it. Now we're gonna
try to Frostburg. Had Ben all booked for after the
show tonight. Now we're not going to get him. We
had him all set to go.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
He had the dog very the old Disney show or Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well here's the thing. He's just like any big time
star that comes on there. You know, they're pushing a product.
So I think he was coming on for some kind
of new organic dog food. So but we got one
question about the dog that we can ask him about
his life.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
But they gave me a bunch of questions I couldn't ask.
You know, I don't play barks twice.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
He's in Milwaukee. In Milwaukee, that's right, Ben? How many brewers?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Ben? How many? How many kids do you really have?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That question was not approved pre broadcast. That was not approved.
I have a lot of you know how many kids?
I have a lot of kids. Can't even count. I
can't even count.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Now you're saying Ben's been put out to stud Is
that what you're saying?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I don't know. I think every dog somewhere, I think
every dog is a stud farm boy. I think there's
things that just happened in the dog park. We're okay,
I guess yeah, we're gonna be puppies.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Like a hell kind of dog park. You going definitely
not a kosher one.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I go to dog park after hours?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
What kind of shenanigans this guy's up to? Yeah, it's
not here. You the only only play one song? Just
one song, just one song.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
What do you think it is?
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Something by Snoop no Who let the dogs out?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Come on? Man, it was easy.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
You have to fastball down the midch, which is why
I looked at you with a stern.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I want to rock like eyebrow and let it pass.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I wanted you to go who. I wanted to get that.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
That costs extra.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
But now forget it. We're not getting Ben. You ruined it.
Get it was a very special guest night. Now we're
not getting Ben.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
And now a very special episodis of the Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harr. You're angling for and we have
a dog panting. You can just put Benny up there.
He's sitting next to you anyway, So.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
On a very special blossom, let's talk about that. No,
so right now, nine thirty nine to go in the
third quarter. Cowboys lead the Giants fourteen to nine. There
are two stories of this game so far. The first
one you mentioned Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones statistically is having
a phenomenal game. He is eighteen out of twenty one
for twelve yards, sorry, two hundred and twelve yards. It
(04:30):
just seems like it's a lot because the one thing
I will tell you and the Cowboys defense is the
other story is that there's a couple of passes and
I don't know if Daniel Jones, and I'm being serious here,
I don't know if Daniel Jones having trouble with his
arm or something, but he cannot throw the ball deep.
He had three passes in the first half. The first
one was a free play where he had a wide
(04:52):
receiver who was beat Diggs was beaten by five yards
and all he's got to do is chuck it up
like this is one of those I just wing it right, hey,
free play. I'm thrown as far as I can, and
instead it just gets hung up after thirty yards and
Diggs comes back to the interception. Another play before halftime,
he does kind of a half roll, comes back and
throws a little bit across the field, but not a ton.
(05:14):
But this is another deep ball that has somebody wide open.
But instead everybody's got to come back to the ball
because it just hangs up there and it travels about
forty yards. I don't know that he can throw the
football deep. And the sooner Dallas' defense figures this out,
the better they'd be able to hold him down a
little bit more because Jones is moving the team down
the field. But I'm watching her throw My god, I mean, look,
(05:35):
I've watch Daniel Jones play a lot the last couple
of years. I don't know what it is. I don't
know if he just can't throw the football, but he
just he can't throw it deep. There's no fade back
and sling it and throw it more than thirty five yards.
It's I don't know. It's a situation where I would
look at him and say he just doesn't have the
arm strength. But I've seen him throw balls like this before,
(05:57):
much better. So I don't know what to say at
this point. The one thing I do know, he is
not able to throw the ball deep, and I don't
know if it's a new thing an old thing, something
they're trying to keep to keep under wraps, but he
is not. When plays where he's just got to uncork it,
he just can't throw it. I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Yeah, I mean one of the throws was a roll
right and then throw back across the field.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So how many actually was though it was it was
from one hashmark to the other. This wasn't all the
way over on the right side and I'm turning around
on one foot and throwing it all the way back.
It's from one hash mark.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
No, we add a few more yards to the distance travels,
but your points well taken. Then the curiosity is how
much of that is now ingrained? Hey, don't just put
the ball up for grabs too, which may change out
how you're unquirking it and trust downfield and all of
that stuff. So, but certainly a couple of throws the
free play just didn't make any sense. Just throw the
(06:47):
ball as far as you can and be done with it.
Let the receiver run under it. Instead, it's an interception
and goes the other way. Of course, you've also seen
this guy throw a ton of flags tonight. I mean,
referees need rotator cuff surgery by the end.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
A lot of flags, a lot of flags.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
So the question, he's also gonna need some throat lozenges
for the number of announcements that he's made. So anytime
you see the flag come out, part of you is
like a damn.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
It, it's on us, and you just kind of chug it.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
So yeah, I'm just curious though that they moved the
ball really well all night long. They did have a
couple of big plays downfield. You saw a big play
to Slayton, the thirty nine yard to neighbors. That was
another example of hey, if he'd thrown it and let
him a bit, probably gonna walked into the end zone.
But it's a thirty nine yard game. You take the
easy throw instead of over complicating things perhaps and overthrowing.
(07:39):
If that's such a thing, right, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I get it. But like one the big throws like that,
that's what I mean. Like these throws are just throw
it as far as you know, lead the guy, the
guy's behind the defenders. You gotta throw it behind everybody,
and instead it hangs up where three players can come
back to get it, not just one, not just one
adjustment in mid erit's I got to stop and come
back to the ball. It's like coming down like a
balloon like that. That's a like I'm stunned with this
(08:04):
with Daniel Jones, because if he completes buck couple of
those plays, suddenly instead of fourteen twelve, the Giants just
kicked the field goal, Giants a rut, maybe what twenty
four to fourteen? I mean they're up by ten. I
really these are big plays that he missed. And I
can't wait to hear after the game if that's even addressed,
because there's clearly an issue going on. And if the
Cowboys defense, which is the second part of this conversation,
(08:26):
if the Cowboys defense is any good, they'd be able
to cover. But the Giants, they got a bunch of
jags here, and the Cowboys are still allowing Daniel Jones
to nickel and diamonds way down the field the entire game.
They can't even run the football. The Giants have run
for about one and a half yards of carry. They
can't run it, and still they're able to get the
ball on third and seven, third and eight, on second
(08:49):
and nine, they're able to complete. It's single coverage and
Daniel Jones are just finding guys eight yards downfield and
they're moving the ball down eight nine yards a pass,
And it really is stunning that the Cowboy these are
just a bunch of Jags, right. I mean, look, Malik
Neighbors is a potential future star, but this is Darius
Slayton and one Dale alone. Come on, man, I mean,
(09:09):
he's got eight catches for fifty four yards. What the
hell he's after six yards or reception? Fine like this,
but these are guys you should be able to cover
one on one. And this tells you how bad the
Cowboys defense is. For all the attention we spend on
Dak and CD Lamb and the Cowboys offense at all,
they don't have a running back and they can't do it. No,
this defense has gotten worked the last two weeks and
(09:33):
into a third week, and you are getting worked tonight. Now.
Luckily you are ben, but don't break. You're forcing the
Giants to kick field goals. But man, you're allowing Daniel
Jones to go up and down the field on you
when they have the ball and the Giants can't run
and you don't have any weapons outside of Elak Neighbors.
That really scare you, Like that tells you how bad
the Cowboys defense is.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Well, he's doing a good job of getting the ball
out fast because they have gotten some pressure up front.
They avoided a scare, at least initially. It's seems Micah
Parsons had left for a bit with a neck injury.
But it looks like, you know that that's not going
to keep him out at least for now. We'll see
what happens post game and as you get to get
(10:12):
into the next week, you know how his body responds.
But yeah, they've done a pretty good job in the
offensive line. On the other side, for the Cowboys, it's
done a pretty good job. Are they running the ball? No,
not at all. Rico Dawdle with his four carries for
eight yards. Your leading rusher is Ceedee Lamb with a
ten yard or on a little bit of a surprise.
We're gonna give him the ball because CD complained. So
(10:33):
here's what you get. A lot of touches for Ceedee Lamb,
who's been uncoverable tonight. He had the big touchdown catch
sixty or fifty five yards.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
On that one.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
But you know, all in at least are getting a
better effort out of the Cowboys, almost like Jerry Jones
threatened them all with their jobs, you know, business decisions
or something like that. Like I gotta say, you know
what I saw earlier today that I was thinking, you know,
you were doing the show with our guy Fred Rogan
around a five seven l A sports. I'm doing, you know,
(11:04):
research and everything show and podcast and all, and I'm
flipping channels and Jaws was on. You're Jerry Jones is
actually just Murray Hamilton, the mayor of Amity.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
That's what I've decided that what is that?
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Not how the mayor's been Listen, we got to open
up these beaches. We got those beaches. UH will be
open big, big fourth of July. Crowds can't uh can't, can't,
can't turn them away. There's a lot of business for
Amity Island and so uh we'll charge the money. I
know the beach is free, but we'll find a way
to make money on that. And of course only Pepsi
products will be sold at the beach.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Which will help us. Uh questions, that's well done. I
don't think that, and I don't think so. I know
I'm big in the guy's voice.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
And my yeah, I know, and you are Murray Hamilton.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
If Jerry Jones was the mayor, Okay, I thinks what you've.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Gotten reelected like Murray Hamilton did after allowing a feeding
frenzy to happen on his watch, he would have.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Said, look and uh, here comes and it's look it's
cowboys colors. It's blue and silver. Look, I got a
twelve painted on the side like starback. Look at you
see coming in with that and and the blood red.
That's that's gonna be the third uniform we're gonna have
coming up soon. So we're rooting for the Shark, and
we have the numbers on the side and go Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
As soon as we get Starbuck, he in, we've won.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Shark is sponsored by the Dallas Cowboy. Left and right
we left shark. Right shark is useless. I might trying
to sign the lot right Shark for less money.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Tell you what with the lack of sales in UMF
out of Katie Perry's new album, she should have brought
the Shark back.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Left Shark is DAK right right right Shark is the defense.
Just so that's kind of how left Shark is actually
DAK and CD and the right Shark is a defense.
That's kind of how it is right there. So that's
where we sit right now, fourteen twelve Cowboys with the
lead six minutes to go in the third quarter. I mean,
as we told you last maybe the Cowboys just stink.
Maybe they do. Maybe the d fence just stinks. Which boy,
(13:01):
it certainly looks that way. But there is everything on
the line for the Cowboys tonight. Lose this game. I
can't imagine what the rest of the season is gonna
be like in Dallas.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Daniel Jones trying to win his first non Sunday game
of his career OZH to twelve on Mondays and Thursdays.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, yeah, you sell. He's Primetime Daniel, Primetime Dan, Primetime

Speaker 2 (13:18):

Mike Harmon's favorite player in the world.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Best player on that team.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Best there, ever, was right legend Brandon Aubrey from sixty
from sixty to give the Cowboys a seventeen to twelve
lead over the Giants three minutes to go in the
third quarter. Now, well, this is the big story of
the night, the big story of the day.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Easily firing.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Uh No, wasn't, was it, wos coach? Not the big
story of the day. No, No, I don't. Now everybody
found that big story. Big story, I will, okay, big story.
But everybody found their way to their TVs at some
point to watch MLB Network some of their coverage of
the final home game of the Oakland A's before they
(15:40):
moved for Sacramento slash Las Vegas. And here's how the
final out sounded. The final crowd goes home happy with
a work. Here it is my Mason. It turns he's ready.
He throws in and swung on and hit the third.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
He was left up with it.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Schumann.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
He turns, he throws the wonnerin. Miller slams the door
on the Rangers as the curtain comes down on fifty
seven incredible years of baseball at the colisseum.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Hey's Radio Network on the call, a day that saw
dignitaries like Dave Stewart and Ricky Henderson out there for
photo ops, green smoke bombs going off in the outfield.
It was an insane atmosphere. The fans came and throw
back jerseys, Rolly fingers jerseys, Conseko McGuire and I'll tell
you it was just some kind of atmosphere to watch
(16:35):
Mark Cootsee's speech at the end to all the fans.
He said, I can't even talk that long, I might cry.
It really was something and there's no better guy to
talk to about what we saw today and what is
next than the man that I've known him for thirty
years now. And he had an incredible viral moment earlier
this week when he said this on ABC seven when
(16:59):
he talked about out how John Fisher and the letter
that he wrote to fans explaining why they were leaving
was ripped up on stage during his newscast, an incredible moment.
Larry Beal with a rant for the Ages on what
happened in Oakland. We are all A's fans watching that moment.
(17:22):
But before we get Larry Beale coming in, we have
his big introduction. Yeah, ABC seven, Larry Bale, let us
just happen it, buddy, how are you?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Oh man, it's been a while, so it's good to
hear your voice. You know. What's funny about the whole
rant thing that kind of took off and we're into
the multiple millions of views and comments and on all
the social media sites, which I didn't really anticipate. The
one thing that everybody stops to talk to me about
(17:55):
is what you just mentioned that I tore up. The
letter on me to me was just sort of a
side thing, like a side bitch. But that's what everybody's like.
Just you know, I don't know. It resonated with so
many people, and I thought, what about all of my words?
(18:16):
I have the best words. That's what my people are
telling me.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
The theiastricality of it, though, Larry, come on, you took
it next level.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Yeah, anyway, I thought it was so odd, but apparently
I don't know, you know, using physical props is what
everybody needs in their life.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Sure, well, look Larry, look what kind of society are
we can? I can I get this story in ninety
seconds or less. Oh he ripped the paper. Okay, great,
but exactly no, you're calling John Fisher a cereal penny
pincher and you've destroyed your family's great name and legacy
because of your cheapness. It was, it was so powerful,
like take me back to the process before we get
(18:57):
today obviously, like when did you know you were going
to do this, how you got about writing it and
when you went on the air with it.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Well, that's the funny part is when I came into work,
I was not anticipating doing anything about anything, you know,
related to the a's And then one of the producers
came over and I read the letter and then I
was like, okay, it's on now. Because I just thought
(19:27):
it was so disingenuous, and you know, you know the
point about it. I wish I could I wish I
could talk to each one of you individually. What a
bunch of cool I mean, the guy, this is a
guy that's been in hiding. He's like Howard used, he's
a recluse. He won't come out, he won't come out
to talk. So anyway, so I sat down and you know,
(19:51):
they said you have to first read his letter, and
so I, you know, I said, okay, I'll read that
on TV. And I said, and then I can say
what I want to say, and she said, yeah, go
for it. So I wrote up what I wrote up
some some of it I add live a little bit.
But you know, then I then I kind of got
scared for a moment because it's a pretty personal sort
(20:12):
of thing and you don't really get that on television
too much. And so I had you know, a couple
of people reading, and I said, are you guys going
to be okay? Because I don't know how, you know,
I don't know how this is going to hit, and
and everybody's like, do it, do it? Do it? Do it?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Per pressure? Per pressure? Larry No.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
So I was like okay, and and then, you know,
so I did the thing and I didn't think anything
about it. And then I came up and I started
preparing for you know, a sports guest the you know,
six o'clock news, and then and then the text and
the everything just started going bananas. And uh, you know,
funny story, My my daughter works for a software sales
(21:00):
company and she was just swamped with work and she
didn't she's not checking her phone she's not, you know,
on social media, she's not on anything. And then and
so we talked at the end of the night and
she said, this is so weird because every few minutes,
somebody would come by and go, my daughter's name is Kiana.
(21:22):
Your dad's going viral. Your dad's going viral. And her
first thought was, oh, no, what do you do, which
I think is the reasonable anywhere that knows, that's the
reasonable first thought. And so she had no idea. My
other daughter is getting texts from people that she has
heard from in years, and she's like, this is so strange.
(21:46):
You know, she has had the friends who's a firefighter,
and I guess the firefighters union in the Bay Area
put reposted the thing and gut. I guess there's a
lot of firefighters because they were going bonkers over it.
But it was kind of I'll just leave you one
one more thing on this topic. A buddy of mine
calls and leaves me a message and he goes, I'm
(22:09):
calling for stephen A. Oh no, no, no, I love it.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Well, now that you got the firefighters on your side,
you can run for office up there.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, you had to get the teachers union,
firefighters then yet think you're.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
All set exactly exactly. I could run for mayor or something.
I'll do something.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Yeah, good luck with that. Hey, did Fisher even show
up today?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I doubt it. I mean, he hasn't been around even
when he goes to the games. He's like invisible because
he just doesn't, you know, associate with a lot of people.
But I would. I would if I with him, I
wouldn't be anywhere near there, just because I'd be afraid
from my public safety. You know, in the middle of
the thirty seven thousand and whatever the number was today,
(22:53):
forty seven game. I'm so tired. I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he I don't know this.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
My only hope in this situation is, you know, I
think it's under five percent, But if you look at
the history with John Fisher trying to build stadiums, he's
zero for five. We don't even have a financing plan
or a real site firmly chosen in Las Vegas. That
(23:25):
seems troubling to me. That seems like he's going to
blow it again. And part of the reason he's going
to pay no rent in Sacramento is because Vivekronadib, who
owns the Kings and owns that Triple A stadium is
banking on Fisher to fail. Never get a shruggle in
the ground, and then major League Baseball will look at well,
(23:47):
you know, the az are in Sacramento. Things seem to
be going reasonably. Well, let's see if we can increase
the size of the ballpark and the age will stay
in Sacramento. So that's this is a billionaire businessman whose
friends when John Fisher, who is counting on Fisher to
fail in spectacular fashion. I mean, you couldn't. He can't
(24:07):
write this stuff. So that's why they're playing. They're going
to play Rens free. They're going to put an artificial
turf in the Sutter Health Park. It's one hundred and
ten in the summer in Sacramento. If you're an artificial turf,
it's one hundred and thirty one hundred and forty degrees.
I'm sure shoe Otani's going to just love running out
there to pitch in that part. This is so dumb
(24:28):
that you know, I can't even believe it's happening. But
you know, here we are.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Larry, you got to keep the call, like you can't
let the coliseum go to the possums. You gotta keep
it going in case three years from now they need
to come back and he sells the team, or you
got to keep that up to date because after a
week those possums are taken over.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
You know what. Let him have their run of the place.
You know, you know it's their house more than as
my house. Okay, no, you know, I mean possum's got
a family too. I'm sure you know they got they
gotta have a place to live. Can I give you
(25:04):
this is well? You know, Mike, were you at Yahoo
when Jeff Passon was there?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Probably we crossed pass for about a year. He and
Wetzel came in right before I left. But yeah, he passing.
He had some monumental tweets on this topic this week.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Oh it was great. I'm looking at it, and he
goes the Oakland A's were killed by greeds. Do not
allow the people responsible for this to spin it any
other way. John Fisher did not have to move this team.
Major League Baseball and its owners did not need to
be complicit in it. This was a choice, a wrong one.
History will sneer. I love Jeff Passen. I mean, that's
(25:44):
just so spot on right, It's all right. It didn't
have to happen. It's not because there's a lack of
a fan base. We saw it today. People love the A's,
they love the team, they just hate the owner because
he's cheap.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Well, I mean look, living up in the Bay Area
and you and I working together at Yahoo.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Those as long as you gave away a.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Bobblehead, forty people were showing up, Larry.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, you know, oh my god.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
They gave away like little not not bobbleheads, but little
kind of plastic replicas of the coliseum for people to
take home.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
You know, as they left and looking at this is
like the cheap.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Could ever as I saw it, I saw it as able.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yeah, it's all yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
It's just like so on brand. Obviously. What did they
do like find left over legos and try to blue
them together something. It was just like, you can't be like,
you can't make this this stuff up.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Yeah, yeah, they always couldn't have been fifty.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Those exactly exactly. You know, you can pull it up
online and you'll see it. But I just started I
was laughing so hard because this is how they operate.
It's just we want to give the fans something special
as they leave. But let's make sure that can cost
us anything. Okay, that's your mentality.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Hey did you get a chair too, Larry?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
A chair?
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Yeah? Did you get any chairs? I mean they were
ripping them out of the stand yesterday.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah. You know what the story on that is. I
guess the security people chased the chair steeler down and
made them reinstall the chair again. The two chairs, so nobody, nobody.
I mean credit to the security staff. If you know,
if you're going after guys carrying chairs, you know what
you need to raise. Yeah. I didn't, I didn't. I
(27:34):
didn't get a chair. Did you hear Ricky Henderson today
at all? Oh?
Speaker 9 (27:39):
Yeah, Well he said he got too much money to
feel sad. Yeah, but doesn't that sound like Ricky. That's
the Ricky we've known all these Larry Ricky.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Yeah, exactly. And I was laughing so hard when I
saw that. I was like, he's you know, I've interviewed
him so many times when he was a player and
all that, and you know, Ricky has Ricky speak, and
you know he is completely unfiltered, which is beautiful at times.
And I just like, like he smacked my hand to
(28:10):
my forehead I was like, not today. We know you're rich. Okay, congratulations. Yeah,
I can't be sad. I got too much money to
be so wait.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I want to go back. You just slip that in there.
They made the guy put the seat back.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
In, That's what I was told, But like they.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Gave him a wrench and stuff.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
But you know what I was wondering, not myself, because
because he had to have a screwdriver and some stuff
to take the seat out in the first place. So
I don't know, I don't know that's the that's going
to be the great untold story. Maybe to get date
a dateline, uh, you know, documentary on where Netflix can
(28:53):
do on on the two chairs, on the seats, the seat.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
You think all those bolts were enough that they couldn't
have just ripped those out come on that stadium has
been in disrepair for thirty years.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Yeah, you're right, you're right. It could have been just
like brute force man's strength. But I don't know how.
I mean, the story seems so implausible, like did they
force the guy or two guys to march back off
to where they were sitting and like, okay, here's your
ratchet wrench, let's go I don't know.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I don't know. I wish I knew. I'll have to
check around and ask some people. Are you when did
you know about the chair?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Larry Beiale for the prosecution hight Here, here's what I know,
Here's what I was told. Larry is always buddy. Thanks

in the Bay Area of most in the various stack
categories in the history of baseball and the Oakland Coliseums. So,
for example, who would you guess had the most hits
career in ballgames in the Oakland Coliseum.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Oh, most hits in the Oakland Coliseum.
Speaker 10 (31:09):
Almost nine hundred career Nicky Ricky Anderson is correctest. And
most deals as well. How about most homers and RBIs.

third quarter tonight. Meanwhile, it's four for four on field
goals for the Giant offense. They had very early in
(32:02):
the game about a five minute drive, kicked a fifty
two yard field goal, got something out of that. Second quarter,
about a six minute drive, kicked about a forty yard
field goal. Late first half, eight minute drive, kicked about
a forty yard field goal, and then settled for a
short field goal mid third quarter after a drive of
over six minutes, so no touchdowns in the Giants trail
at home seventeen to twelve. Dak Prescott had two touchdown
(32:25):
passes for Dallas in the first half, including a fifty
five yard er to Cede Lamb. In the WNBA, Chicago

Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen
Live from the Tirack dot Com Studios. Eleven minutes ago,
in the fourth quarter, Cowboys with a seventeen fifteen lead
over the Giants. He has five Giants field goals, has
them within striking distance of the Cowboys, who would just
be an absolute disaster if they lost this game. But
(34:36):
they do have the ball, they're near midfield, still a
lot of time left again, about ten and a half
left to go. Cowboys lead the Giant seventeen to fifteen.
More on this game coming up in a few minutes.
Thanks to Larry Beale for stopping buy an incredible visit
with him about everything that went on this week, his
viral moment in Oakland, ripping up the letter that John
Fisher sent to A's fans, and stories about what went
(34:57):
on today that we're going to break down the rest
of the show, but not the only big controversy in
baseball today. As something we've talked about all week, the
fifty to fifty ball for show Heyo Todi's fiftieth home
run going up for sale through a consignment through Golden
and the starting bid five hundred thousand dollars. Right, this
is what's been reported all week. And then we brought
(35:19):
you the story last night that an eighteen year old
kid said, wait, I had the ball, and the guy
who's putting the ball up for auction ripped it out
of my hands and got it illegally, and so now
he filed an injunction to stop the ball from being sold. However,
late tonight a judge has said nope, the sale can
(35:39):
go forward with the baseball, and according to the kid's lawyer,
the judge said, you guys got to work it out.
I'm not going again involve you guys. Work it out.
So this ball is up for sale again. Starting bid
is five hundred thousand dollars. We thought there could be
an injunction. There is no injunction, Mike, You and I
both saw the video, and no matter how you you
(36:00):
think about who had a ball at what point, it
is very clear that three seconds before the guy said
the guy has clear possession of the ball. Nobody's got it.
And the kid that says he got it doesn't have
the ball. So it's not like he had it got
ripped out of his arm, like he had it held
on and look, I got the ball, buddy, and said
guy came up and hit him with a chair and
ripped it out of his hands. Now is there stuff
(36:21):
going on and a scrum down low? Yeah, the kid
says it, Oh, he pinned my arm between his legs
and took the ball. No, when he's got his legs pinned,
he's got his arms down there with the ball. And
the kid does not have the ball, So I don't
know that he had it for any more than if
he had it all from what a second and a
half maybe, And is that really possession. I'm just saying,
it's hard to figure out how this is gonna go.
(36:42):
And I would assume maybe the reason this thing was
was all filed in the first place is because the
kid saw, oh wait, this ball's going up for five
hundred grand, what's my piece of this?
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Like?
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Can I get? Can I get a piece of this?
Whatever is sold? Because I was there and I had
my hands on the ball, it strikes me that's what
it is. Again this we're just going by the video
that we saw, but it was pretty It's gonna be
tough to prove it another way, but I got to
think that that's kind of what's happening. Oh five hundred grand, Okay,
what's my piece?
Speaker 5 (37:09):
Well, the other part is he went after it in
a very half ass fashion, one arm, other hand still
with the cell phone in it, and up and moving.
And from the video that we've seen, there's nothing that
would make me believe he was ever gonna win this
at all. Right, unless you have a second angle or
or someone comes forward, it's like no, no, no, here it
(37:29):
is clearly it's in his hand. And then this guy
dives down because you just see the scrum, right, you
see a chair go flying. This guy's down on the ground,
reaching and he's got one hand down and he may
have very well had it for that second or so,
but it's it's, you know, a blink of an eye
before the other dude rips rips up and you know,
shows it to the world that he's got it. So yeah,
(37:52):
I think what they judge probably is hoping is this
sells for a lot of money, and the guy just
cuts him off a little bit just to make him
go away, because he did have a thing where you
can do a buy it now for four and a
half million.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Yeah, oh yeah, oh, you can buy it now for
like twenty times the price if you want to, well.
Speaker 5 (38:07):
If you don't want to get into a bidding war,
you got something else to do tonight. Maybe you wanted
to watch some Thursday night football or or Dodgers padres
or something. I mean, maybe you don't want to sit
around and watch that. You know, as you get into
the weekend, the final throws of the Major League Baseball
regular season, the beginning of the college football weekend, all
of that stuff, you just don't have time for it.
(38:29):
So just plump down the four point five million.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
I see out of a different way, and I think
this could solve it. We get Mike Pereira to look
at the replay and see you add the ball, right,
does the guy have possession of it? Right? Does he
have two feet down? Well?
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Did he control through the catch?
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Right? You know, if he's got the ball but the
ball is on the ground, that may not be possession.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
What is the original call though, right?
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Yeah? I mean the call, well, this guy has the ball.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
The challenge going to be a very tough to overturn.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Yeah, the challenges from the kid. But if this guy
doesn't grab it, if the ball is on the if
he juggles the ball, does he not? I mean, if
it's inconclusive, he got award for the kid. But I
don't think you're gonna see anything on this video evidence
that will overturn it. But this is just you and me.
We gotta get Mike Perira.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
No, I mean you'd have.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
To see that the kid was down by contact after
securing the ball.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Yeah, and again that's gonna be inconclusive as well.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
You're you're not gonna be able to get that based
on the video we've seen. Yeah, ergo, other dude has
the ball possession nine tenths in this case, one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
He gets he gets the cash story, you.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Get Pereira addressed as a judge, and he comes in
and he shows the replay and he gives his ruling
and explains it and you can if you want to appeal.
Jene Sterotor is there to be said, We're gonn appeal
jeenes terrator will tell you the same. No, no, no,
but figure it out.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
But Pereira greater than Sterotor. What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (39:48):
What? No?
Speaker 1 (39:49):
But no, Pereira is the judge, right, But.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
But you're giving the guy as the the appellate judge,
you know, a higher place like.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
No, but I'm giving Perreira more. I'm giving Perira more airtime.
He actually be involved with care and dressing him up
as a judge. It's Mike Ferreira and.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
You gave him a powdered wig.

here we sit, Thursday Night football, the twentieth game between
the Cowboys and the Giants that Al Michaels is done,
(01:00):
the big retrospective first Cowboy Giant game nineteen to eighty six.
Kind of a fun thing that did there in the
first quarter, and I don't know, I don't know where
Al's energy level is at this point. Early in the
second half of the Cowboys leading fourteen to night.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Oh, he's got himself a game.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
I mean, all those retrospectives and anything you do leading
in when you've got those packages ready and that's how
you lead.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
That means you're expecting a dog of the game.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Well, Al Michaels, you might have the dog in the
booth because that's the only dog you're seeing the night.
Because it's a pretty damn good game, though far I
don't know that it's good it alone. I didn't say
anything against Ben.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Wow, you're anti Ben.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
All I said was the only damn dog anybody seeing
right now. It's been a pretty good and competitive game.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
You're I know you're anti Ben.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Daniel Jones has been fantastic.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Think well, let's look, well, hold your horses on that.
Let's talk about the dog first. Why are you anti Ben?
Speaker 6 (01:55):
I did?
Speaker 7 (01:55):
It?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Wasn't anti Ben?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah you are? Yeah, you are bad big Come on.
Ben's living his best life, having doing great stuff up
and Kirk Kurbs broadcast game.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Well like the analogy that they were expecting a dog
of the game, which is what we normally get on
Thursday nights, and instead they actually got a competitive game
within that five and a half point spread.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Maybe that's why he's bringing the dog in. I mean,
bet Ben is living. Now forget it. Now we're gonna
try to Frostburg. Had Ben all booked for after the
show tonight. Now we're not going to get him. We
had him all set to go.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
He had the dog very the old Disney show or Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well here's the thing. He's just like any big time
star that comes on there. You know, they're pushing a product.
So I think he was coming on for some kind
of new organic dog food. So but we got one
question about the dog that we can ask him about
his life.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
But they gave me a bunch of questions I couldn't ask.
You know, I don't play barks twice.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
He's in Milwaukee. In Milwaukee, that's right, Ben? How many brewers?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Ben? How many? How many kids do you really have?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That question was not approved pre broadcast. That was not approved.
I have a lot of you know how many kids?
I have a lot of kids. Can't even count. I
can't even count.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Now you're saying Ben's been put out to stud Is
that what you're saying?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I don't know. I think every dog somewhere, I think
every dog is a stud farm boy. I think there's
things that just happened in the dog park. We're okay,
I guess yeah, we're gonna be puppies.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Like a hell kind of dog park. You going definitely
not a kosher one.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I go to dog park after hours?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
What kind of shenanigans this guy's up to? Yeah, it's
not here. You the only only play one song? Just
one song, just one song.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
What do you think it is?
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Something by Snoop no Who let the dogs out?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Come on? Man, it was easy.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
You have to fastball down the midch, which is why
I looked at you with a stern.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I want to rock like eyebrow and let it pass.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I wanted you to go who. I wanted to get that.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
That costs extra.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
But now forget it. We're not getting Ben. You ruined it.
Get it was a very special guest night. Now we're
not getting Ben.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
And now a very special episodis of the Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harr. You're angling for and we have
a dog panting. You can just put Benny up there.
He's sitting next to you anyway, So.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
On a very special blossom, let's talk about that. No,
so right now, nine thirty nine to go in the
third quarter. Cowboys lead the Giants fourteen to nine. There
are two stories of this game so far. The first
one you mentioned Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones statistically is having
a phenomenal game. He is eighteen out of twenty one
for twelve yards, sorry, two hundred and twelve yards. It
(04:30):
just seems like it's a lot because the one thing
I will tell you and the Cowboys defense is the
other story is that there's a couple of passes and
I don't know if Daniel Jones, and I'm being serious here,
I don't know if Daniel Jones having trouble with his
arm or something, but he cannot throw the ball deep.
He had three passes in the first half. The first
one was a free play where he had a wide
(04:52):
receiver who was beat Diggs was beaten by five yards
and all he's got to do is chuck it up
like this is one of those I just wing it right, hey,
free play. I'm thrown as far as I can, and
instead it just gets hung up after thirty yards and
Diggs comes back to the interception. Another play before halftime,
he does kind of a half roll, comes back and
throws a little bit across the field, but not a ton.
(05:14):
But this is another deep ball that has somebody wide open.
But instead everybody's got to come back to the ball
because it just hangs up there and it travels about
forty yards. I don't know that he can throw the
football deep. And the sooner Dallas' defense figures this out,
the better they'd be able to hold him down a
little bit more because Jones is moving the team down
the field. But I'm watching her throw My god, I mean, look,
(05:35):
I've watch Daniel Jones play a lot the last couple
of years. I don't know what it is. I don't
know if he just can't throw the football, but he
just he can't throw it deep. There's no fade back
and sling it and throw it more than thirty five yards.
It's I don't know. It's a situation where I would
look at him and say he just doesn't have the
arm strength. But I've seen him throw balls like this before,
(05:57):
much better. So I don't know what to say at
this point. The one thing I do know, he is
not able to throw the ball deep, and I don't
know if it's a new thing an old thing, something
they're trying to keep to keep under wraps, but he
is not. When plays where he's just got to uncork it,
he just can't throw it. I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Yeah, I mean one of the throws was a roll
right and then throw back across the field.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So how many actually was though it was it was
from one hashmark to the other. This wasn't all the
way over on the right side and I'm turning around
on one foot and throwing it all the way back.
It's from one hash mark.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
No, we add a few more yards to the distance travels,
but your points well taken. Then the curiosity is how
much of that is now ingrained? Hey, don't just put
the ball up for grabs too, which may change out
how you're unquirking it and trust downfield and all of
that stuff. So, but certainly a couple of throws the
free play just didn't make any sense. Just throw the
(06:47):
ball as far as you can and be done with it.
Let the receiver run under it. Instead, it's an interception
and goes the other way. Of course, you've also seen
this guy throw a ton of flags tonight. I mean,
referees need rotator cuff surgery by the end.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
A lot of flags, a lot of flags.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
So the question, he's also gonna need some throat lozenges
for the number of announcements that he's made. So anytime
you see the flag come out, part of you is
like a damn.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
It, it's on us, and you just kind of chug it.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
So yeah, I'm just curious though that they moved the
ball really well all night long. They did have a
couple of big plays downfield. You saw a big play
to Slayton, the thirty nine yard to neighbors. That was
another example of hey, if he'd thrown it and let
him a bit, probably gonna walked into the end zone.
But it's a thirty nine yard game. You take the
easy throw instead of over complicating things perhaps and overthrowing.
(07:39):
If that's such a thing, right, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I get it. But like one the big throws like that,
that's what I mean. Like these throws are just throw
it as far as you know, lead the guy, the
guy's behind the defenders. You gotta throw it behind everybody,
and instead it hangs up where three players can come
back to get it, not just one, not just one
adjustment in mid erit's I got to stop and come
back to the ball. It's like coming down like a
balloon like that. That's a like I'm stunned with this
(08:04):
with Daniel Jones, because if he completes buck couple of
those plays, suddenly instead of fourteen twelve, the Giants just
kicked the field goal, Giants a rut, maybe what twenty
four to fourteen? I mean they're up by ten. I
really these are big plays that he missed. And I
can't wait to hear after the game if that's even addressed,
because there's clearly an issue going on. And if the
Cowboys defense, which is the second part of this conversation,
(08:26):
if the Cowboys defense is any good, they'd be able
to cover. But the Giants, they got a bunch of
jags here, and the Cowboys are still allowing Daniel Jones
to nickel and diamonds way down the field the entire game.
They can't even run the football. The Giants have run
for about one and a half yards of carry. They
can't run it, and still they're able to get the
ball on third and seven, third and eight, on second
(08:49):
and nine, they're able to complete. It's single coverage and
Daniel Jones are just finding guys eight yards downfield and
they're moving the ball down eight nine yards a pass,
And it really is stunning that the Cowboy these are
just a bunch of Jags, right. I mean, look, Malik
Neighbors is a potential future star, but this is Darius
Slayton and one Dale alone. Come on, man, I mean,
(09:09):
he's got eight catches for fifty four yards. What the
hell he's after six yards or reception? Fine like this,
but these are guys you should be able to cover
one on one. And this tells you how bad the
Cowboys defense is. For all the attention we spend on
Dak and CD Lamb and the Cowboys offense at all,
they don't have a running back and they can't do it. No,
this defense has gotten worked the last two weeks and
(09:33):
into a third week, and you are getting worked tonight. Now.
Luckily you are ben, but don't break. You're forcing the
Giants to kick field goals. But man, you're allowing Daniel
Jones to go up and down the field on you
when they have the ball and the Giants can't run
and you don't have any weapons outside of Elak Neighbors.
That really scare you, Like that tells you how bad
the Cowboys defense is.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Well, he's doing a good job of getting the ball
out fast because they have gotten some pressure up front.
They avoided a scare, at least initially. It's seems Micah
Parsons had left for a bit with a neck injury.
But it looks like, you know that that's not going
to keep him out at least for now. We'll see
what happens post game and as you get to get
(10:12):
into the next week, you know how his body responds.
But yeah, they've done a pretty good job in the
offensive line. On the other side, for the Cowboys, it's
done a pretty good job. Are they running the ball? No,
not at all. Rico Dawdle with his four carries for
eight yards. Your leading rusher is Ceedee Lamb with a
ten yard or on a little bit of a surprise.
We're gonna give him the ball because CD complained. So
(10:33):
here's what you get. A lot of touches for Ceedee Lamb,
who's been uncoverable tonight. He had the big touchdown catch
sixty or fifty five yards.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
On that one.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
But you know, all in at least are getting a
better effort out of the Cowboys, almost like Jerry Jones
threatened them all with their jobs, you know, business decisions
or something like that. Like I gotta say, you know
what I saw earlier today that I was thinking, you know,
you were doing the show with our guy Fred Rogan
around a five seven l A sports. I'm doing, you know,
(11:04):
research and everything show and podcast and all, and I'm
flipping channels and Jaws was on. You're Jerry Jones is
actually just Murray Hamilton, the mayor of Amity.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
That's what I've decided that what is that?
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Not how the mayor's been Listen, we got to open
up these beaches. We got those beaches. UH will be
open big, big fourth of July. Crowds can't uh can't, can't,
can't turn them away. There's a lot of business for
Amity Island and so uh we'll charge the money. I
know the beach is free, but we'll find a way
to make money on that. And of course only Pepsi
products will be sold at the beach.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Which will help us. Uh questions, that's well done. I
don't think that, and I don't think so. I know
I'm big in the guy's voice.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
And my yeah, I know, and you are Murray Hamilton.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
If Jerry Jones was the mayor, Okay, I thinks what you've.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Gotten reelected like Murray Hamilton did after allowing a feeding
frenzy to happen on his watch, he would have.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Said, look and uh, here comes and it's look it's
cowboys colors. It's blue and silver. Look, I got a
twelve painted on the side like starback. Look at you
see coming in with that and and the blood red.
That's that's gonna be the third uniform we're gonna have
coming up soon. So we're rooting for the Shark, and
we have the numbers on the side and go Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
As soon as we get Starbuck, he in, we've won.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Shark is sponsored by the Dallas Cowboy. Left and right
we left shark. Right shark is useless. I might trying
to sign the lot right Shark for less money.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Tell you what with the lack of sales in UMF
out of Katie Perry's new album, she should have brought
the Shark back.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Left Shark is DAK right right right Shark is the defense.
Just so that's kind of how left Shark is actually
DAK and CD and the right Shark is a defense.
That's kind of how it is right there. So that's
where we sit right now, fourteen twelve Cowboys with the
lead six minutes to go in the third quarter. I mean,
as we told you last maybe the Cowboys just stink.
Maybe they do. Maybe the d fence just stinks. Which boy,
(13:01):
it certainly looks that way. But there is everything on
the line for the Cowboys tonight. Lose this game. I
can't imagine what the rest of the season is gonna
be like in Dallas.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Daniel Jones trying to win his first non Sunday game
of his career OZH to twelve on Mondays and Thursdays.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, yeah, you sell. He's Primetime Daniel, Primetime Dan, Primetime
Dan Dan.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Well.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
I mean it seems to be working for Captain Kirky's
days he finally got out of his slump managing staff.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Your supply chain is complex. Let Express employment professionals provide
the workforce you need. With Express you can lower contingent
labor costs and reduce turnover. Go to expresspros dot com
to find a location near you that is expresspros dot com.
We will have more on this game throughout the night. Obviously, Cowboys, Giants,

the NFL Cowboys lead the Giants a field goal by
Mike Harmon's favorite player in the world.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Best player on that team.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Best there, ever, was right legend Brandon Aubrey from sixty
from sixty to give the Cowboys a seventeen to twelve
lead over the Giants three minutes to go in the
third quarter. Now, well, this is the big story of
the night, the big story of the day.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Easily firing.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Uh No, wasn't, was it, wos coach? Not the big
story of the day. No, No, I don't. Now everybody
found that big story. Big story, I will, okay, big story.
But everybody found their way to their TVs at some
point to watch MLB Network some of their coverage of
the final home game of the Oakland A's before they
(15:40):
moved for Sacramento slash Las Vegas. And here's how the
final out sounded. The final crowd goes home happy with
a work. Here it is my Mason. It turns he's ready.
He throws in and swung on and hit the third.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
He was left up with it.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Schumann.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
He turns, he throws the wonnerin. Miller slams the door
on the Rangers as the curtain comes down on fifty
seven incredible years of baseball at the colisseum.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Hey's Radio Network on the call, a day that saw
dignitaries like Dave Stewart and Ricky Henderson out there for
photo ops, green smoke bombs going off in the outfield.
It was an insane atmosphere. The fans came and throw
back jerseys, Rolly fingers jerseys, Conseko McGuire and I'll tell
you it was just some kind of atmosphere to watch
(16:35):
Mark Cootsee's speech at the end to all the fans.
He said, I can't even talk that long, I might cry.
It really was something and there's no better guy to
talk to about what we saw today and what is
next than the man that I've known him for thirty
years now. And he had an incredible viral moment earlier
this week when he said this on ABC seven when
(16:59):
he talked about out how John Fisher and the letter
that he wrote to fans explaining why they were leaving
was ripped up on stage during his newscast, an incredible moment.
Larry Beal with a rant for the Ages on what
happened in Oakland. We are all A's fans watching that moment.
(17:22):
But before we get Larry Beale coming in, we have
his big introduction. Yeah, ABC seven, Larry Bale, let us
just happen it, buddy, how are you?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Oh man, it's been a while, so it's good to
hear your voice. You know. What's funny about the whole
rant thing that kind of took off and we're into
the multiple millions of views and comments and on all
the social media sites, which I didn't really anticipate. The
one thing that everybody stops to talk to me about
(17:55):
is what you just mentioned that I tore up. The
letter on me to me was just sort of a
side thing, like a side bitch. But that's what everybody's like.
Just you know, I don't know. It resonated with so
many people, and I thought, what about all of my words?
(18:16):
I have the best words. That's what my people are
telling me.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
The theiastricality of it, though, Larry, come on, you took
it next level.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Yeah, anyway, I thought it was so odd, but apparently
I don't know, you know, using physical props is what
everybody needs in their life.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Sure, well, look Larry, look what kind of society are
we can? I can I get this story in ninety
seconds or less. Oh he ripped the paper. Okay, great,
but exactly no, you're calling John Fisher a cereal penny
pincher and you've destroyed your family's great name and legacy
because of your cheapness. It was, it was so powerful,
like take me back to the process before we get
(18:57):
today obviously, like when did you know you were going
to do this, how you got about writing it and
when you went on the air with it.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Well, that's the funny part is when I came into work,
I was not anticipating doing anything about anything, you know,
related to the a's And then one of the producers
came over and I read the letter and then I
was like, okay, it's on now. Because I just thought
(19:27):
it was so disingenuous, and you know, you know the
point about it. I wish I could I wish I
could talk to each one of you individually. What a
bunch of cool I mean, the guy, this is a
guy that's been in hiding. He's like Howard used, he's
a recluse. He won't come out, he won't come out
to talk. So anyway, so I sat down and you know,
(19:51):
they said you have to first read his letter, and
so I, you know, I said, okay, I'll read that
on TV. And I said, and then I can say
what I want to say, and she said, yeah, go
for it. So I wrote up what I wrote up
some some of it I add live a little bit.
But you know, then I then I kind of got
scared for a moment because it's a pretty personal sort
(20:12):
of thing and you don't really get that on television
too much. And so I had you know, a couple
of people reading, and I said, are you guys going
to be okay? Because I don't know how, you know,
I don't know how this is going to hit, and
and everybody's like, do it, do it? Do it? Do it?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Per pressure? Per pressure? Larry No.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
So I was like okay, and and then, you know,
so I did the thing and I didn't think anything
about it. And then I came up and I started
preparing for you know, a sports guest the you know,
six o'clock news, and then and then the text and
the everything just started going bananas. And uh, you know,
funny story, My my daughter works for a software sales
(21:00):
company and she was just swamped with work and she
didn't she's not checking her phone she's not, you know,
on social media, she's not on anything. And then and
so we talked at the end of the night and
she said, this is so weird because every few minutes,
somebody would come by and go, my daughter's name is Kiana.
(21:22):
Your dad's going viral. Your dad's going viral. And her
first thought was, oh, no, what do you do, which
I think is the reasonable anywhere that knows, that's the
reasonable first thought. And so she had no idea. My
other daughter is getting texts from people that she has
heard from in years, and she's like, this is so strange.
(21:46):
You know, she has had the friends who's a firefighter,
and I guess the firefighters union in the Bay Area
put reposted the thing and gut. I guess there's a
lot of firefighters because they were going bonkers over it.
But it was kind of I'll just leave you one
one more thing on this topic. A buddy of mine
calls and leaves me a message and he goes, I'm
(22:09):
calling for stephen A. Oh no, no, no, I love it.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Well, now that you got the firefighters on your side,
you can run for office up there.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, you had to get the teachers union,
firefighters then yet think you're.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
All set exactly exactly. I could run for mayor or something.
I'll do something.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Yeah, good luck with that. Hey, did Fisher even show
up today?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I doubt it. I mean, he hasn't been around even
when he goes to the games. He's like invisible because
he just doesn't, you know, associate with a lot of people.
But I would. I would if I with him, I
wouldn't be anywhere near there, just because I'd be afraid
from my public safety. You know, in the middle of
the thirty seven thousand and whatever the number was today,
(22:53):
forty seven game. I'm so tired. I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he I don't know this.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
My only hope in this situation is, you know, I
think it's under five percent, But if you look at
the history with John Fisher trying to build stadiums, he's
zero for five. We don't even have a financing plan
or a real site firmly chosen in Las Vegas. That
(23:25):
seems troubling to me. That seems like he's going to
blow it again. And part of the reason he's going
to pay no rent in Sacramento is because Vivekronadib, who
owns the Kings and owns that Triple A stadium is
banking on Fisher to fail. Never get a shruggle in
the ground, and then major League Baseball will look at well,
(23:47):
you know, the az are in Sacramento. Things seem to
be going reasonably. Well, let's see if we can increase
the size of the ballpark and the age will stay
in Sacramento. So that's this is a billionaire businessman whose
friends when John Fisher, who is counting on Fisher to
fail in spectacular fashion. I mean, you couldn't. He can't
(24:07):
write this stuff. So that's why they're playing. They're going
to play Rens free. They're going to put an artificial
turf in the Sutter Health Park. It's one hundred and
ten in the summer in Sacramento. If you're an artificial turf,
it's one hundred and thirty one hundred and forty degrees.
I'm sure shoe Otani's going to just love running out
there to pitch in that part. This is so dumb
(24:28):
that you know, I can't even believe it's happening. But
you know, here we are.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Larry, you got to keep the call, like you can't
let the coliseum go to the possums. You gotta keep
it going in case three years from now they need
to come back and he sells the team, or you
got to keep that up to date because after a
week those possums are taken over.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
You know what. Let him have their run of the place.
You know, you know it's their house more than as
my house. Okay, no, you know, I mean possum's got
a family too. I'm sure you know they got they
gotta have a place to live. Can I give you
(25:04):
this is well? You know, Mike, were you at Yahoo
when Jeff Passon was there?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Probably we crossed pass for about a year. He and
Wetzel came in right before I left. But yeah, he passing.
He had some monumental tweets on this topic this week.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Oh it was great. I'm looking at it, and he
goes the Oakland A's were killed by greeds. Do not
allow the people responsible for this to spin it any
other way. John Fisher did not have to move this team.
Major League Baseball and its owners did not need to
be complicit in it. This was a choice, a wrong one.
History will sneer. I love Jeff Passen. I mean, that's
(25:44):
just so spot on right, It's all right. It didn't
have to happen. It's not because there's a lack of
a fan base. We saw it today. People love the A's,
they love the team, they just hate the owner because
he's cheap.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Well, I mean look, living up in the Bay Area
and you and I working together at Yahoo.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Those as long as you gave away a.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Bobblehead, forty people were showing up, Larry.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, you know, oh my god.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
They gave away like little not not bobbleheads, but little
kind of plastic replicas of the coliseum for people to
take home.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
You know, as they left and looking at this is
like the cheap.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Could ever as I saw it, I saw it as able.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yeah, it's all yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
It's just like so on brand. Obviously. What did they
do like find left over legos and try to blue
them together something. It was just like, you can't be like,
you can't make this this stuff up.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Yeah, yeah, they always couldn't have been fifty.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Those exactly exactly. You know, you can pull it up
online and you'll see it. But I just started I
was laughing so hard because this is how they operate.
It's just we want to give the fans something special
as they leave. But let's make sure that can cost
us anything. Okay, that's your mentality.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Hey did you get a chair too, Larry?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
A chair?
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Yeah? Did you get any chairs? I mean they were
ripping them out of the stand yesterday.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah. You know what the story on that is. I
guess the security people chased the chair steeler down and
made them reinstall the chair again. The two chairs, so nobody, nobody.
I mean credit to the security staff. If you know,
if you're going after guys carrying chairs, you know what
you need to raise. Yeah. I didn't, I didn't. I
(27:34):
didn't get a chair. Did you hear Ricky Henderson today
at all? Oh?
Speaker 9 (27:39):
Yeah, Well he said he got too much money to
feel sad. Yeah, but doesn't that sound like Ricky. That's
the Ricky we've known all these Larry Ricky.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Yeah, exactly. And I was laughing so hard when I
saw that. I was like, he's you know, I've interviewed
him so many times when he was a player and
all that, and you know, Ricky has Ricky speak, and
you know he is completely unfiltered, which is beautiful at times.
And I just like, like he smacked my hand to
(28:10):
my forehead I was like, not today. We know you're rich. Okay, congratulations. Yeah,
I can't be sad. I got too much money to
be so wait.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I want to go back. You just slip that in there.
They made the guy put the seat back.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
In, That's what I was told, But like they.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Gave him a wrench and stuff.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
But you know what I was wondering, not myself, because
because he had to have a screwdriver and some stuff
to take the seat out in the first place. So
I don't know, I don't know that's the that's going
to be the great untold story. Maybe to get date
a dateline, uh, you know, documentary on where Netflix can
(28:53):
do on on the two chairs, on the seats, the seat.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
You think all those bolts were enough that they couldn't
have just ripped those out come on that stadium has
been in disrepair for thirty years.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Yeah, you're right, you're right. It could have been just
like brute force man's strength. But I don't know how.
I mean, the story seems so implausible, like did they
force the guy or two guys to march back off
to where they were sitting and like, okay, here's your
ratchet wrench, let's go I don't know.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I don't know. I wish I knew. I'll have to
check around and ask some people. Are you when did
you know about the chair?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Larry Beiale for the prosecution hight Here, here's what I know,
Here's what I was told. Larry is always buddy. Thanks

about a six minute drive, kicked about a forty yard
field goal. Late first half, eight minute drive, kicked about
a forty yard field goal, and then settled for a
short field goal mid third quarter after a drive of
over six minutes, so no touchdowns in the Giants trail

(34:36):
they do have the ball, they're near midfield, still a
lot of time left again, about ten and a half
left to go. Cowboys lead the Giant seventeen to fifteen.
More on this game coming up in a few minutes.
Thanks to Larry Beale for stopping buy an incredible visit
with him about everything that went on this week, his
viral moment in Oakland, ripping up the letter that John
Fisher sent to A's fans, and stories about what went
(34:57):
on today that we're going to break down the rest
of the show, but not the only big controversy in
baseball today. As something we've talked about all week, the
fifty to fifty ball for show Heyo Todi's fiftieth home
run going up for sale through a consignment through Golden
and the starting bid five hundred thousand dollars. Right, this
is what's been reported all week. And then we brought
(35:19):
you the story last night that an eighteen year old
kid said, wait, I had the ball, and the guy
who's putting the ball up for auction ripped it out
of my hands and got it illegally, and so now
he filed an injunction to stop the ball from being sold. However,
late tonight a judge has said nope, the sale can
(35:39):
go forward with the baseball, and according to the kid's lawyer,
the judge said, you guys got to work it out.
I'm not going again involve you guys. Work it out.
So this ball is up for sale again. Starting bid
is five hundred thousand dollars. We thought there could be
an injunction. There is no injunction, Mike, You and I
both saw the video, and no matter how you you
(36:00):
think about who had a ball at what point, it
is very clear that three seconds before the guy said
the guy has clear possession of the ball. Nobody's got it.
And the kid that says he got it doesn't have
the ball. So it's not like he had it got
ripped out of his arm, like he had it held
on and look, I got the ball, buddy, and said
guy came up and hit him with a chair and
ripped it out of his hands. Now is there stuff
(36:21):
going on and a scrum down low? Yeah, the kid
says it, Oh, he pinned my arm between his legs
and took the ball. No, when he's got his legs pinned,
he's got his arms down there with the ball. And
the kid does not have the ball, So I don't
know that he had it for any more than if
he had it all from what a second and a
half maybe, And is that really possession. I'm just saying,
it's hard to figure out how this is gonna go.
(36:42):
And I would assume maybe the reason this thing was
was all filed in the first place is because the
kid saw, oh wait, this ball's going up for five
hundred grand, what's my piece of this?
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Like?
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Can I get? Can I get a piece of this?
Whatever is sold? Because I was there and I had
my hands on the ball, it strikes me that's what
it is. Again this we're just going by the video
that we saw, but it was pretty It's gonna be
tough to prove it another way, but I got to
think that that's kind of what's happening. Oh five hundred grand, Okay,
what's my piece?
Speaker 5 (37:09):
Well, the other part is he went after it in
a very half ass fashion, one arm, other hand still
with the cell phone in it, and up and moving.
And from the video that we've seen, there's nothing that
would make me believe he was ever gonna win this
at all. Right, unless you have a second angle or
or someone comes forward, it's like no, no, no, here it
(37:29):
is clearly it's in his hand. And then this guy
dives down because you just see the scrum, right, you
see a chair go flying. This guy's down on the ground,
reaching and he's got one hand down and he may
have very well had it for that second or so,
but it's it's, you know, a blink of an eye
before the other dude rips rips up and you know,
shows it to the world that he's got it. So yeah,
(37:52):
I think what they judge probably is hoping is this
sells for a lot of money, and the guy just
cuts him off a little bit just to make him
go away, because he did have a thing where you
can do a buy it now for four and a
half million.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Yeah, oh yeah, oh, you can buy it now for
like twenty times the price if you want to, well.
Speaker 5 (38:07):
If you don't want to get into a bidding war,
you got something else to do tonight. Maybe you wanted
to watch some Thursday night football or or Dodgers padres
or something. I mean, maybe you don't want to sit
around and watch that. You know, as you get into
the weekend, the final throws of the Major League Baseball
regular season, the beginning of the college football weekend, all
of that stuff, you just don't have time for it.
(38:29):
So just plump down the four point five million.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
I see out of a different way, and I think
this could solve it. We get Mike Pereira to look
at the replay and see you add the ball, right,
does the guy have possession of it? Right? Does he
have two feet down? Well?
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Did he control through the catch?
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Right? You know, if he's got the ball but the
ball is on the ground, that may not be possession.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
What is the original call though, right?
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Yeah? I mean the call, well, this guy has the ball.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
The challenge going to be a very tough to overturn.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Yeah, the challenges from the kid. But if this guy
doesn't grab it, if the ball is on the if
he juggles the ball, does he not? I mean, if
it's inconclusive, he got award for the kid. But I
don't think you're gonna see anything on this video evidence
that will overturn it. But this is just you and me.
We gotta get Mike Perira.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
No, I mean you'd have.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
To see that the kid was down by contact after
securing the ball.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Yeah, and again that's gonna be inconclusive as well.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
You're you're not gonna be able to get that based
on the video we've seen. Yeah, ergo, other dude has
the ball possession nine tenths in this case, one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
He gets he gets the cash story, you.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Get Pereira addressed as a judge, and he comes in
and he shows the replay and he gives his ruling
and explains it and you can if you want to appeal.
Jene Sterotor is there to be said, We're gonn appeal
jeenes terrator will tell you the same. No, no, no,
but figure it out.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
But Pereira greater than Sterotor. What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (39:48):
What? No?
Speaker 1 (39:49):
But no, Pereira is the judge, right, But.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
But you're giving the guy as the the appellate judge,
you know, a higher place like.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
No, but I'm giving Perreira more. I'm giving Perira more airtime.
He actually be involved with care and dressing him up
as a judge. It's Mike Ferreira and.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
You gave him a powdered wig.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Coming up next, more on TNF and the a's final
game in Oakland. Fox
