Speaker 1 (00:30):
Greetings and welcome inside. Happy Wednesday. So far the Jason

(00:54):
here we are right now. I'm nervous as hell. Yeah this,
you know, here's the thing. Just take the take the
wheel for a while. I got some thoughts where we
sit right now. Both baseball games happening right now. Atlanta
gets on the board again. A home run by Claire
cuts the Padre lead to five to two, as the
Braves are still batting in the top of the fifth inning. Meanwhile,
(01:17):
Mets and the Brewers. Mets have a three to two
lead over Milwaukee. They have a runner on first and
one out as they bat in the top of the
eighth inning. Both the Padres and the Mets going for
the kill shot here tonight and to move on to
the NLDS. And I'll tell you what you know. For
all the talk that Rob Manford gets about all you
care about is pace and play, all he cares about
(01:39):
is pace play. He said that right, Oh, you can't
pay and play pays them that pays of play. No,
I'm glad the games are moving a little bit brisker
because this is too much sports stress. Like I can't imagine.
Oh man, I have to wait even longer between pitches,
between innings, between ad bats. It's just I can't.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
At least you know there's a way where, all right,
at least we move the game along a little bit.
So my stress. I have like thirty five to forty
minutes lets of stress because of a game going on
at one time where I could have had to just
wear it out and just we're gonna we're gonna build
this out, and the batters keep stepping out of the
box and I just keep going, come on, man, come on.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
So I'm all on board with the pace of play
because of that.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
No, I think there's some positivity to be had with
it when you start thinking about what you're also doing
for the health of American baseball fans, because stress eating,
stress drinking goes out the window for that forty minutes.
Like you say, so, it's you know, maybe an extra
frosty beverage or two. Maybe it's an extra plate of
(02:39):
I don't know, fried this, that or the other that
they're not consuming.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
No, it's bad for the economy, but good for our health.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, because really you think about, hey, this is just
taking away stress from you. This is like something that
a self help guru will tell you. That's it, Hey,
watch baseball, why the games are a lot less long, or.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Don't watch baseball altogether what they would say. The other
I mean that which is just catastrophic. It's like, you know, what,
does this hurt you? Yeah, stop doing it.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Don't watch October baseball did not. I mean, because you know,
you think about with the way that baseball had been
and Look, when you say baseball playoffs, I think the
average person defaults to Yankees Red Sox games that go
like four and a half hours, right, Like, that's a
oh yeah those games it would start twelve after darky
oh yeah, yeah, yeah games it would start at seven
thirty and end at midnight, right, Like that would be crazy,
(03:28):
be insane. All right, that's what everybody defaults to. But
now it's okay, Like because in all this is baseball
is caught up with all the other sports where you
know you're going through stress. But okay, you know what
you know, there's not a bunch of time you know
in between plays. You know in the NFL, like there's
you know, no one steps out of the batter, his
box gets back to him. Now, if you're nervous about football,
you get the action, right, you get a two and
(03:49):
a half three minute commercial break. We're coming back. We
got action right away. You get thirty seconds between plays.
Same thing with the NBA. Yes, there's time as we
get back on the floor we play it. Uh, there's
not a lot of time to just build up that stress.
So you get it for a few minutes and it's okay.
I'm like, all right, I'm okay with the stress for
a few minutes, but baseball is just no, We're gonna
fray your absolute last nerve every single pitch this postseason.
(04:13):
Every pitch you're gonna see it.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Oh, every at bat you know is at a premium.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
We talked about it a lot last night, right the
the difference in playoff at bats and rolling through right now.
I'm you know, as it stands, we're gonna have four sweeps.
That kind of sucks, but you know it's onto the
next series, onto the next round. For the Padres, you
got another hit from another home run out of Higashioka,
(04:39):
so you know you could stend those Yankee texts again
to your dad.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
So you got that going for you.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
But yeah, the stress level you're feeling right now, this
is why you know losing one hundred and twenty one
games is not the worst of things, yea, because I'm
no worse off than Houston and Baltimore fans right now.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Oh, I don't know about that, I you Oh no, no, Well, you.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Know, for the Astros fans, maybe they can say, well,
you know what, we had a good run, right You
talk about all the you know, al title runs, you
talk about the World Series appearances.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
You talk about the cheating and maybe this is it.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, but buddy, years from now, ten years from now,
no one's gonna say, oh, remember when the Astros lost
and the and the Royals won in the first round
of the of the Three. No, but they're all going
to go, oh, man, I fully remember when the White
Sox lost one hundred and twenty one games.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I remember what though they.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Can't hurt me anymore, the one hundred and twenty one,
as they happened, were like me getting punched in the
face by insert either your favorite wrestler, give me an
Andre the Giant Giants smashed to the face, or you know,
Mike Tyson pugilistic barrage. I mean, you could do that
if you want. But otherwise, you know, it's it's over.
(05:53):
Like the hundredswe like, they might do it again. I mean,
they're gonna be bad again next year, so we might
be having the same conversation.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
But it goes into the distant past.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You know, for teams that were on potentially dynastic runs,
they get salty because they ended for a team like
the Orioles back to back years in the playoffs. Another
early exit they're gonna be lamenting the dynastic opportunities that
maybe never come.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You know, see Cincinnati Bengals here now.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
And you say, hey, okay, oh, well right now we're
seeing Ford sweeps. Thanks a lot, because you're a jerk.
Oh we're gonna see four sweeps. How much fun is that?
Jackson Chorio just leads off the bottom of the eighth inning.
I didn't throw home run the right field. It's your fault.
You said, Oh, we're gonna see fort sweeps. Dude, Ford sweeps.
How do you look Ford sweeps? Hey, Jason, you look
(06:43):
Ford sweeps. Yeah. Twenty seconds after you said that, Chorio
hits a home run. So now the Mets and the
Brewers are tied at three. As the Brewers bat in
the bottom of the eighth thing.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I mean that guy can't even legally drink yet.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I mean they're gonna have the little onesie ready for
yeah in the post.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Ye. Well, so now we got ay, now we got
more of a game because it's your fault and I
will We're gonna go Ford sweeps.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Man, we can forth sweep.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Leave the ball up in the zone and the guy
who's been hitting the ball game this.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I'm a good job. I am. You know what.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I don't see anything that could go wrong for the Bears.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
The Bears are great. They're gonna win every game. Caleb
Williams is a Hall of Famer. There's nothing that could
go wrong. Now, Hey, yo, how about that? Now you're
like hurt you?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
You like that?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Buddy, I'm getting even with you. I'm not getting even
with you. There, not getting even with you. I'm getting even.
So what I said like four time getting even?
Speaker 4 (07:30):
But hey, anybody want to keep him a hug? Where's
Benny yet? Have Betty give you a while?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Brewers fans are happy right now? And then another single.
So now the Brewers have a runner at first with
nobody out in the eighth inning. This game has not
been trending well for the Mets. They've left so many
runners in scoring position, getting them there with nobody out.
Not This is not the Mets team from a night
night ago. This game has been treads and Brewers have
been reeling them in and now here they are nobody out,
(07:55):
go ahead run at first base as they bat in
the eighth inning.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
As happy as Brewers fans are, there is one group
of fans who are the happiest fans in the world.
And it's a one to eighty from last night. Why
because of these two results from earlier ten round.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Ball showt for a second Keith pull, charge field and clip.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Tigers win. They're moving on.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
They win three to one in Game one and shut
down the astros powerful offense. A four run rally in
Game two and a five to win. Oh my goodness,
the Tigers are aheaded to Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
One ball, two strikes and a swing and a miss
in the Royals, they're going to advance. So there was
Tigers Royals Radio Networks on the call. The Orioles and
the Astros go home. They get swept in the first
round of the playoffs. A couple of really close games,
like we watched the Tigers late inning heroics despite the
(08:54):
fact they haven't had a hit since August seventeenth. They
wind up getting a big hit today in the eighth inning.
But but make no mistake about it, the happiest people
in the world right now are the Yankees. Because the Yankees,
whenever it gets to the playoffs, a lot of the Yankees,
it's all in their heads. It's all about matchups, it's
all about what they see in their way, and the
(09:14):
two teams that one are the worst matchups for the Yankees.
The Astros and the Orioles are both out of the playoffs.
Like that was a series where, hey, these teams are
gonna have the Yankees number the way the Orioles played
them during the season, why they've played in the last
few years, the way the Astros have played the Yankees.
But now you're talking about Okay, we got it. We're
looking at the teams in our way. Now we're Detroit,
(09:36):
Kansas City and Cleveland. Okay, wow, we feel really good
about that. If the Yankees don't go to the World Series,
I don't know when they're gonna go. If they don't
go this year, I don't know when they're gonna go.
Because these are teams in their way where the Royals
and the Tigers deal with them today, Right, the Guardians
are really good, but they still have that series to
play against the Tigers. But you look at the teams
that won that knocked out the Astros and and and
(09:57):
knocked out the Orioles. Today is that the Tigers are
really really limited, right, so are the Royals. The Royals
aren't great. The Royals now they are real. There are
good teams. Are both really good teams. Right, they're gritty
and they're well, Gritty's a fun thing to be, right, gretty.
No one wants, No one wants to be Hey, we're
a bunch of superstars. We're great, we're feeling good. Yeah,
everybody wants to be gritty. And the Tigers are embracing gritty.
(10:19):
But the Tigers are severely limited and the Royals are
a limited team as well. And when you play a
limited team in a longer series, it evens out and
and the needle goes back to the big favorites. So
now you have a little bit longer series with the
Yankees now against the Royals. I fully expect them to
win here. And hey, Tigers and and the and the
Guardians the big rivalry there. Yes, the Guardians should wind
(10:40):
up winning, right, they were terrific this year. But the
Yankees have to say, hey, our two toughest opponents that
we could potentially have to play to go through are gone,
like they know this, this has got to be it.
And obviously the pressure gets ratchet up. But but the
Yankees have to say, this is our world series, this
is here for us. If we if we don't win
this year, I don't know what we're gonna go. I really,
(11:01):
if they don't get there this year, when can you say, Hey,
here's the Yankees filling out their roster, do anything they
can go. Right now, the way things stand in the
American League, the Yankee should be in the World Series.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Yeah, I mean we talked yesterday about a lot of
the composition of the squads coming forward and again battle
tested by you know, beating up on the White Sox
were the Royals and Tigers over the course of the
regular season.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
So you have that going for you. You know, now we.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Get a lot of shots of the Pine Tar game, right,
We're gonna get that probably shove down our throats nine
thousand times over the next week.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Oh no, and Brett and George Brett's home run off
of Gossage. Oh yeah, oh.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, we're head of that one. I got no homework
for a week in school because of that.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Is that all?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Right?
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You want a great story? Okay, so how about that
great story? So Royals Yankees, Right, they're gonna be playing
in the Alds. They played an incredible series in nineteen eighty.
I'm going back forty I'm going back when I was
in fifth grade, and.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Of course growing up, I we have your music, everybody.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Oh yeah, yeah, Ty, she got my music. I'm my
music for this because we're going by going back to
nineteen eighty so fifth grade, and I'm the big Mets fan,
right and all my everybody's.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
A Yankee fan, right, A Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, right.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
The World Series in seventy seven, seventy eight, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees,
and I can't stand the Yankees, right. And George Brett
was my favorite player because he was my favorite player
because the Mets had no good ones because they traded
away Tom sever so Brett was my favorite player. And
they're playing the Yankees. And missus Pinito, who was my
fifth grade teacher, we would talk about this in this series,
(12:34):
you know, coming up series. And she said to me, okay,
mister smarty pants Mets fan. And I said, okay, Miss Pinino,
I said what she goes, let's make a bet. And
I said all right, and she goes, if the Royals
beat the Yankees tonight, deciding game Game five, they beat
the Yankees tonight, you get no homework for a week.
I said, okay, she goes, but if they lose, you
(12:54):
get double the homework, and all the kids are going oo,
and I go, yeah, I'll take that, Yeah, yeah, no, sure, okay.
And I'm like, oh my god, what am I doing?
What am I doing? Right? So, because because the whole everybody,
I'm wearing my I'd wear my Mets hat all the time,
Yankee and every She was a huge Yankees fan. And
in the eighth inning of this game, Goust goatsha is pitching,
(13:18):
and the and the and the Royals are losing three
to two, and George Brett hits a home run into
the far upper deck in Yankee Stadium to give the
Royals a five to three lead, and the game is
over right, and it's over and the Royals. The Royals win,
And I vividly remember two things. Jim Palmer, who was
(13:39):
announcing the game, going, there's no way that pitch is
ninety eight miles an hour. George Brett's not gonna hit
a pitch like that, ninety miles hour that far. And
then the next day, coming into school like she didn't
even want to tell that. TJ. You want to talk
to me, she was like, yes, just don't say anything. No,
homework for a week. But but but no no homework
for a week? Does so? She told so, I got
no homework, but she didn't let me. I couldn't even
I couldn't even enjoy it. Old peak joined, don't say
(14:01):
anything because everybody was upset because the Yankees got knocked
out of the playoffs?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Did you start asking all sorts of questions about American history,
just randomly about George Washington?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
So what I'd like to know is when you cross
the Delaware to get to places like New York or
Yankee Stadium, what happens? Like, you know, when was Kansas
City settled? Miss Pinito? Can you tell me when was
when Kansas? So again, that's a much better story to
relive than what I just saw in front of me
five seconds ago. The Mets now trail five to three.
(14:30):
Another home run, this time with the runner aboard, has
given the Brewers a five to three lead. As they
continue to bat, let's go in the bottom of the
eighth inning, Mitchell with a drive just dead center field.
It goes about four hundred feet, and now the Mets
are going to go to the ninth inning, final out
of the inning trailing five to three and now we're
(14:51):
looking at Game three tomorrow because the Mets couldn't convert
on runners in scoring position with nobody out, and here
we go. The bullpen finally gets uh it gets tagged
and gives up two home runs in the eighth inning. Blurg,
that's all I'm gonna say. Just blurg. That's all I
got for.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
You leave it up in the zone once again.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Had plenty of opportunities, as you laid out right, there
were plenty of opportunities to put this game away, and
now comes down to a final at bat. So I
want to know what happened to Pete Alonso early in
the game when he never got out of the batter's box.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Oh man, Peter Alonzo, you talk. He is hitting free
agency like I would hit a buffet full of vegetables.
That's that's how he's going into free agency. Man, he's like.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Four for his last stumbling.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Really, he is like he is like four for his
last forty. It is just oh man, it's difficult.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Yeah, he hits the ground ball and kick it out
of the box and they moved the camera up. A's
like the hell's Pete Alonso and he's already taken his
protective gear off.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Exiting exit out about of Fresco exit swelling down. The

(16:45):
the Braves trying to get back in this thing, one
solo home run at a time. Michael Harris has just
gone deep, making a five to three game. The padres
over the Braves right now Brave's batting in the top
of the eighth inning, uh doing the uh throwing the
dice celebration rounding third base. So it's gonna be a
little bit of tough sledding for the Padres to close
(17:08):
this thing out. I'm sorry, make it five to four.
Sorry five to four, I said the wrong score. Five
to four Padres with the lead over Atlanta. Now as
they bat in the eighth inning, nobody out for the Braves.
Look at Mike Harmon, look.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
At Yeah, perhaps a little less gleefulness coming from the
news desk. Yeah, No, Bryan Finley is not hat.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
He is not.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
He has taken this guy barf this guy did that.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
But the Padres, Yeah, the Royals humiliated.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
They ulliated the Oriole.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
They won two games by one run apiece, so there
was no humiliation going.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
They didn't win ten to one and eleven to two.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
They won one nothing at two to one.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
They said, tom a home not I mean, I guess
you just take it radios.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
But yeah, but he is not. I said, he's taking
off his flip flops. He's throwing him at the at
the at the roof right now. Yeah, he is not happy,
he is He's.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Keep a camera on him and see how it goes.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
He's almost as unhappy as I was watching Mitchell's home
run off of Matten in the in the eighth inning.
That's there, goes Ah the Mets.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
There, I put it on your outfielder, get well.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Ball off the top of the wall and bouncing over. Yeah,
those things. Those things happened there. Those things happen. Make
a catch, I got that wall. Look.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
The more time goes on, the more you know, I'm
sitting here saying to myself, why didn't Diaz come in
in the eighth inning because I'm thumb going. Hasn't Madden
pitched like he's pitched like I think he's pitched like
three days, three of the last four days or something
like that. Like he's coming in and he's on vapors
and and Diaz, who said before the game today he
(18:47):
feels really good. He's ready to go. He had the
day off, he's ready. I mean, that's hot. It's a
really high leverage situation man to say, Okay, we're going
to a guy that's never done it before. Here, the
brewers in the stadium's going crazy. Yeah, that's an arco
on the mount in the eighth inning, and if he
goes to innings, he goes to innings, and that that's
kind of how it goes. If they tie the game
in the eighth, you take him a okay that that
(19:07):
that's what happens, and you move on from there. But
the more the time goes on, I think, boy, the
Mets just get uh just just just lulled into a
this is how we've done it all season. This is
how we say, Hey, we're we're having one run lead,
We're gonna save DZ for the ninth. Here's the top
of the order, and bang lead off home run. And
you can tell that Matten didn't have his stuff because
the next batter hit a line drive single, then another
(19:29):
home run. I mean, like wow, the more I think
is what happened? Why was there no DS there at
the top of.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
These four appearances in the last five days.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, I mean I I that's a that's a that's
a big thing from Carlos Mendoza. Man, that's a really
big thing from him. And I guarantee you he's saying,
why didn't I do it? But yeah, okay, but you're
the manager. That's why I give it. Maybe it's maybe
the door's open now, Mike, for me to be the
manager of the Mets, now I would have brought it that.
I mean, it is October, so it's like a Halloween show.
(19:57):
So like here we go and now here's a very
special gu here's your villain behind door number three. Man,
you manager Jason Smith. So well that's open door for me.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I think maybe you and I could be doing a
lot of money, all right, because you told me about
this last night, and the more I saw today, I
think someone owes us money. So a month ago we
do the whole big fun. Venom Jerry Jones. Bit right,
Venom is in jail. This is why Jerry Jones is
not paid Dak Prescott because Venom is taking him over
and he's convincing him to not pay Dak Prescott. And
(20:28):
that's why Jerry Jones has been so different the last year.
Was it gonna pay cd lamb? Was it gonna pay
Dak Prescott? Venom Jerry Jones are taking him over.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Jerry, just let me just by Dak Prescott's top of
his head off.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Let me just need the top of his head. I'll
save the brain for later.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Need the brain's gotta be able to call out the audibles.
I don't have a brain, can't call the audibles.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Gotta have it.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
And we did this bit for a few nights. It
was a really fun bit. Now this is again, this
is well over a month ago. This is before before
the contract sentsion with Dak Prescott. Uh, what commercial has
come out in the last twenty four hours you showed
me last night. Now people were watching it all over
the place today, a trailer for the new Venom movie.
And it really I can't believe we're getting three Venom wood.
(21:10):
This shows you the state of movies right now, that
we're getting three Venom movies.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
I will say this though, I'm highly entertained by them.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Because I have no expectation. Yeah, oh no, no, other
than it's going to be a bit over the top.
And look in the sequel, you got Woody Harrelson. At
anytime he shows up, you know what's gonna get bat
like crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Then it is something where it's like, hey, it's on
television and there's moving pictures, and okay, I'll watch it.
You have the picture is moving. Oh you're not faking
too deep. I mean, I mean, I'm not saying it's Morbius.
But I mean, I'm like, okay, really, three Venomoom, Okay,
three Venom movies. And now there's a trailer oute with
Venom and Dak Prescott and Dak references his contract extension
(21:47):
everything else. I'm not that kind of cowboy. Somebody owes
this money. Somebody because we did this bit a month ago,
and you know, Dak Prescott had to come after that
because we were doing the bit before Dak got his extension,
the whole bit. Now suddenly Dak comes in here, he
mentiones his extension in the in the trailer, Yeah, somebody
owes us money. Somebody owes us money. I normally say
information is free, but no, this is a commercial that.
(22:09):
This is worse than just when people steal our takes
on television on the radio. This is worse than that
because oh the show's on at night. I could do
it during the day and no one's gonna notice. No
Wed tweet stuff out and you go, okay, anyway, this
is worse than that because that people making money off
of it. Now, this is like, this is not like,
oh I make money in my pocket from my salary
because I steal takes from these guys No, this was Hey,
we're putting this out there as part of our our
(22:30):
movie push to get people to come see it. No,
somebody ows this money either, more I think about it,
somebody owes his money.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Yeah, it kind of ticked me off, man, like on Monday,
Like I first saw it during the Monday night football games,
and we talked about it a little bit, you know,
Monday night, and then certainly yesterday it became more prevalent
and more and more people started to jump on it
started to get retweeted a bunch. But yeah, the whole
bit was from a month, well over a month ago
(22:57):
about the two sides Jerry Jones' brains and whatever prompted
us to get venomin probably the early ad, right, maybe
a teaser trailer that you'd seen when you went to
the cinema. Uh, it became a thing and I actually
had multiple people just say, wow, he really gets.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Unhinged to that moment. Yeah, you gotta lose your something
to the character. You just have to. It's odd, but yeah,
go and run with it.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
And then all of a sudden there's Dak Prescott, you know,
running around on the venom infused horse.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
It really got to tick me off. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
At first I looked at it, my eyes got wide,
my mouth dropped a bit, and I said, what am
I watching? And then I said, no, Blanke, these people,
I mean, look, I id you know you always had ideas. No, no, no, no, no,
this is commerce on a whole other level.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Man, you're promoting one hundred million dollar movie. I want
in even if I'm a guy. Venom bleep and eats
in the first thirty seconds, let's go. Let's go.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Smith and Harper, we were yelling about something about Jerry
Jones and Venom comes in on us.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I don't know, but yeah, that's patently offensive.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
I mean, I appreciate the listen, the producers, the writers,
whoever put that add together clearly fans of the show
listening on Fox Sports Radio on the iHeartRadio app local
terrestrial radio numbering what near the five hundred cities, So
I mean, plenty of opportunity to hear the ideas and
to hear Venom.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Jerry Jones, jerks.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Oh, Jason, let me just eat one of Mike Harmon's legs.
It looks like one of those big juicy chicken wings,
not the flats, but the big chicken wings. What why
do I do a little bit of Bill Walton. What
I say this? This is awful.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
No, no, no, Jason, let me just let me just eat.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
One of Mike's Harmon's legs. They look so juicy. I
just get one bite, I can eat the entire leg. No, no, no,
I need harmony. He would get loopy. The loss of
blood and really got to him. Can you just hold off?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Oh Jason, come on, see so now I'm stopping Vning
from eating you. So I'm selling your best friend.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yeah, but I mean for the purposes of the entertainment
and uh screen immortality. I'd like to be that guy.
I know they're not making a fourth one. Hardy's already
said I'm done with this.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I can't believe he's doing three at check any of
these I did.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
But it's like all of these movies.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
They sign up for for a trilogy if it works,
and then they get paid out a little bit.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah, but you've that calendar over you.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Say, look at the check, and I look at what
some of the people are doing, and I'm like, I
know you have enough money. Will Ferrell won't do Elf two. No, no, no,
I'm not gonna do Elf two. No gonna ruin that. No, no, no,
but he's in some whatever crazy ass commercial he's doing
now credit cards dancing around in him in some sort
of atrium. No, I'll do that commercial for him. I'm
(25:47):
not gonna do ELF two though, but I'll do this, Like, really,
you need to do commercials like these big they needed
these big star You need to do commercial You really
need the money. You're reading the money that met really
say this every time you see Jennifer Garner, I'm like, Jennifer,
Jennifer Okay, okay.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
But that's the thing though, I mean, look at it
all the It's like going back to voiceover work back
in the day before everybody found out Robin Williams was
the genie. Folks went in, did their work, did a
little crazy voice, made a couple extra bucks, Everybody went
home and you moved on, as well as a whole
industry of voiceover actors and actresses that plied their trades
(26:25):
legends within their industry but maybe unknown outside of the
super fans. And then the Robin Williams thing, which wasn't
supposed to be promoted, did, and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
That's a huge box office hit.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
You know, you got plush toys and commercials and all
this stuff rolling through sequels, direct to video, and everybody
wants it and the cash cow is born of it.
We got all these voice actors, same thing, man, same thing,
you get extra. I saw an interview with Jared Harris.
He was asked about the aforementioned morbias, goes, dude, I
got a mortgage to pay. It's like, Michael Caine, why
(26:58):
weren't you at the Academy at War for what was
it Hannah and her sisters?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Well, I was filming a little movie called Jaws four.
Have you ever seen it? Have you ever actually watched it? Michael? No,
but I've been that was Jaws. The Revenge is the
Jaws The Revenge?
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Yes, yeah, Jaws four, The Jaws the Revenge you guys,
have you ever seen it?
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Michael?
Speaker 4 (27:17):
He said, no, but I've seen the house that had
bought my mother and it's lovely.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Isn't that the one where the shark followed him from
like halfway yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
World, Yeah, all of a sudden, the Sharks of the Bahamas.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
You got Mario van Peebles, And you know that's where
we always joked about the banana boat. When all of
a sudden you had Lebron and those guys on the
banana boat.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Maybe you saw what happened to Jaws the revenge man.
Don't temp fate?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Like did he send out like group of fish who
talked to some other fish that can talk to some
other animals out of the water that five bring them
back in? Like he suddenly like the dawn of Sharks.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yes, that's it.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Yes, maybe the day will come when I can do
you a favor. Will you tell me where this Michael
Caine is so I can get there.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Oh, I'm following all the way around the world.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
He's fine, not following you in the water. I'm gonna
follow you on you're on land, not in the water,
and I'm still gonna follow you.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
But it all became a was a movie for those
that haven't seen it. Uh you know again another guilty pleasure.
Have a beer and see how how much worse the
Shark was for the fourth one than it was for
the original. And everybody knows the problems they had with Bruce,
But it's following the mom. The mom is the key
(28:28):
to the entire thing.
Speaker 1 (28:30):

Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon Live from the tire rack dot Com Studios.
Padres lead the Braves five two going to the bottom
of the seventh inning. Padres get out of the top
of the seventh. They are six outs away from the
NLDS to the date with the Dodgers. We'll have more
(30:11):
baseball coming up. But it really, it really shocks me.
And not a lot shocks me because I you know,
doing sports every day for a living, we see stuff,
oh my gosh, yeah, and then we get over it.
But the fall of the Dolphins has been staggering and
(30:32):
there's really no reason for it. Over the course of
the last eight games, right we've watched since December of
last year, the Dolphins were everything that was new about
the NFL. They were Mike McDaniel. He's the next great
head coach of the great offensive system. Everything is fast,
everything is a track meet. Their offense is unstoppable. They
(30:55):
were playing at such an unbelievably high level, and then
December came and then went home in the playoffs and
the off season. Instead of hey, how do we take
the next step that the area around the team was, Hey,
this is one of those get by years. We really
take a try to take a leap next year. What
the hell are you talking about? Like you were fantastic
(31:18):
for the first three quarters of the season and now
suddenly what do you mean you're talking about next year?
And the Dolphins kind of stayed status quo and now
here they are beginning of this season doesn't start out great.
To a tongue of I Lois sustains another concussion, You
don't know when he's gonna play anymore. And then you
get Tyreek Killed today, who has had to put out
a statement saying I'm committed to staying with the Dolphins. Yes,
(31:39):
there's some frustration. There was video and reports of him
yelling and calling out some things he was upset about
on the sideline with the team. Hey, it happens, guys
get mad, But Tyreek Hill had to put out a
statement saying, no, I'm committed here I want to retire
here all of these things, Mike. This is eight games.
This is over a course of eight games. No team
(32:02):
has fallen further than the Dolphins, and there's really no
reason for it. Like the way the Dolphins should be
was okay coming off of last year, Wow, look how
good we were. We need to make a couple of
moves to sustain this. We definitely want to get the
playoff games at home. We're a warm weather team. Nothing
we could do about that. But hey, we're excited in
the offseason, And instead it was, hey, well we got
to move some things around. We're not really gonna sign anybody.
(32:24):
What do you mean were talking about then in the
beginning of the season with two Tonguel Vailoa, Hey, the
reaction should be, hey, we want to get him back.
It's a big deal, but we're good enough going forward.
And instead it's like that's been the excuse for everything
to just fall apart. And I don't know why the
Dolphins have fallen so far so fast. They shouldn't. They
should be dealing with a quarterback injury and the health
(32:45):
of Tua and what he wants to do for himself
and his family going forward. That's a big thing. But
it's almost like once the calendar hit December of last year,
everything turned into, well, we gone as far as we can.
We're done. This is not a team at the end
of it. We got all these guys to pay. They're
all thirty years old. They're not the forty nine ers
who have a bunch of guys making fifteen million dollars
(33:05):
a year. This was, Hey, we're the next young group
in the NFL. Tyreek Hill Reed does his contract, A
chen is all young on a rookie deal. Hey we
got what we have some really good guy We got
some dudes on this team. And instead it's almost been
like an accepted spiral. Like once they started loo, once
they lost a little bit in December and lost a
playoff game with the Chiefs, it was okay, I don't
know what this is gonna be. Now we're a mess.
(33:26):
It's unlike like they've accepted being a mess. And it
doesn't make any sense why. I mean, you got you
got a number of guys injured. I mean every team's
got got a few, there's no question about it. But
Jalen Phillips now lost for the year again. Bradley Chubb's
been hurt. Odell Beckham Junior not there. Whatever he is
at this point. Obviously he's not a one, but depth
a wide receiver never hurt, I mean, which is why
(33:49):
we're talking about let's trade number threes on teams two
to the Jets or or some of these other would
be contenders, not just DeVante Adams, Jordan Lawyer not playing,
David Long heard, Isaiah Win, Tarreon Armstead's been unavailable on
the offensive line, which is, as you've seen, you don't
blow holes open, you don't have the downfield passing threat
(34:11):
that you had with Tua.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Guess what a chan just a guy. Moster hasn't been
available all season long, right, the rookie right drafted him.
He's gonna be well. He's banged up, so injury's certainly
playing a role in it, but a little bit of
the McDaniel's a genius and can make it all. Spin
has kind of fallen off to the wayside here without
(34:32):
every one of those toys in the cover because you
still have Tyreek Hill, and you still have Jalen Waddle
and the aforementioned e Chand who last year averaged a
first down. It seemed per carry now. Interestingly, with the
anytime touchdown odds for Tyreek Hill this week plus three
p thirty, He's never been more than two to one
(34:55):
on any game that Tua was available, So Oddsmaker is
lengthy saying, yeah, prove it to us here.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
So, yeah, it's a difficult spot.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
And it looked like the division was still there to
at least battle right because everybody hated Buffalo. I got
to jump off that bad wagon. That's not gonna work.
Folks reluctantly either were on or off the Jets. There
was really you know, you picked a side and then
everybody assumed New England would be bad so you'd have opportunity.
But through four weeks, yeah, an unmitigated disaster exit.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
How about a Fresco exit? Swollen down the Jason Smithcher
with Mike Carmon live from the TIREC dot Com Studios.
Coming up next, a double barrel of NFL topic coming
your way. I'm pretty sure Mike and I rode money
from somebody. And also what could be next for Patrick
Mahomes and the Chiefs and wide receiver. That's next, Jason
