Hello and welcome inside final hour tonight, the Jason Smith

com is the way tire buying should be. Well, you know,
(00:51):
just a little bit more to our conversation a couple
minutes ago before you get into the big DeVante Adams
update from today. We talked a few minutes ago about
how ESPN to replace Adrian Wojhroowski is their big NBA insider.
Potentially you're floating around the possibility that Adam Schefter or
Jeff Passon, who are football and baseball insiders could take
over and be a basketball insider as well and be
(01:14):
the ultimate insider. Now I like that you've made it
the ultimate insider.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well reality show. What was that guy saying, Mike Hall
that won?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Uh oh yeah yeah, dream job? Sure? Yeah oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Let's see how you paced through uh having to be
an expert and insider in both sports?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
How do you build those relationships?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
He's a Big ten network now. I just saw him
Today's he was doing like Big ten Media day for
women's basketball. I think it's what he was doing. Hey,
there's my call. I used to have my call on
my show at night when I was at ESPN. I
used to talk to him a lot when we were there.
He's he's a good dude. I mean, he's still a
Big ten network. Like it's like a second decade at
Big ten Network.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Had a hell of a run. Absolutely, But look, but
you you talked about it.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Look, we mentioned the points of you know, it's it's
impossible to do this and to you know, these are
guys that build up reputations and relationships, and suddenly ESPN
is just gonna tell all these teams when you have
something big, you're gonna call these guys like that's not
gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
This is our guy. I mean we talk with Jay
Glazer about it all the time.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah. Look, he lives with his phone. I mean that's
how it goes. Yeah, but you said, you know, look,
does it matter ten minutes after a story is broken,
who breaks it? And it's not a big deal anymore.
And you know the thing is I hear you on that.
But it's the same reason why people get paid millions
of dollars to be on sports television during the day
when they have one hundred thousand or less people watching, right,
(02:39):
I mean, I mean this is I mean, it's it's
amazing that you think, hey, here a networks that are
spending all this money in five six million dollars a
year on people when one hundred thousand people are less watching,
Like Sarah like, think about that. This is worth But
they're paying for the cachet. They're paying for the day
long news cycle that what we say on our shows
lives virally. And look, that's really what it is. It's like, say,
(03:02):
we're paying for that. We want to be the stop
and when people go to get on the computer for information,
they see our clips everywhere and that's kind of what.
It's the same thing here, Like you want to know, okay,
when something is breaking, you want to know that it
is synonymous with a certain network, right, Like when you
know something is breaking in Major League Baseball, you think, okay,
you think Ken Rosenthal, you think Jeff Passon football, you
(03:23):
think Jay Glazier, you think Adam Schefter. Right, everybody wants
you to go, hey, we're gonna come to our guy
and our network when when news is broken, because trusted, right,
But does it really matter? No, I agree with you,
it doesn't. But it's more about the cachet and you're
paying that money to those people, the insiders for that,
you're paying for the image and what that does for
you for your business. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Absolutely, But the trust trust factor, right, once upon a
time when the blue check mark meant what it did
even though they never thought thought it fit. Maybe because
it's at Swollen Dome instead of at Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Uh, give me my blue check mark back of the day.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
But it's just the idea that you know, it's safe,
it's secure and corroborates, you know, all right, it's not
some knucklehead.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Make sure it's not. What have some of the.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Best parody accounts been through the years, right, So you
don't get fooled.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I get it, like there's all of that.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
But you know, once it's out there and we start
to work with it, you know, like it's I don't know, Antonio.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Pierce or something, we just run with it.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Or Jabal I should say, DeVante Adams, see different Adams.
He's going to go on and do a million interviews
to tell you what he thinks about each of it.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So it's good.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Now, speaking of DeVante Adams, we got another bit of
a left turn from him earlier today when we found
out through sources that the two teams he is most
amenable to be traded to are the Jets, No surprise
and the Saints. Hey, I want to be reunited with
my guys. I want to either play with Aaron Rodgers,
want to play with Derek Carr. Want what's familiar? I
(05:01):
want to go home again. So we get that and
we understand this is where things are going, and likely
a trade is going to happen because things are untenable. Right.
The Raiders aren't don't have him active because of his
quote hamstring injury. This a couple of days after Antonio
Pierce liked a social media post that said DeVonta Adams
has played his final game with the Raiders. The Raiders,
(05:23):
it's let it be known. Yes, we're out for trading him.
We want a second round pick and some other concessions.
Devont Adams has said, yes, I want out. These are
my teams I want to go to. So he knows
being traded. Right, we know where it's going. Now if
you before we get into where the best fit is right,
because I'm gonna surprise you, Let's let's just make sure
there's no stone unturned. Let's listen to Antonio Pierce from
(05:45):
today talking about everything that went on social media wise
them liking them, and make sure that there's nothing He
says that that that makes us think that, Okay, hey,
maybe maybe Devanta Adams could actually come back to the
Raiders a posts earlier this week.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Is that something that was accidental in your.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, I'm just focused on the relationship with.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Since I believe that.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Yeah, he tried to go Belichick, so I give them credit.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Let's let's keep going down this path.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, it's I'm I'm not talking about that.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Well, the follow up is obviously well Davante said, you
didn't reach out.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
No, no, no, not doing it. Not doing it. So
he's gone, he's gone. So you know he's gone, right,
you know he's gone, and you know there's there's no way. Look,
he has he's not going to play again. He wouldn't
deny the social media post. Antonio Pierce. Look, he's like
we we talked about it the other night. He's got
to be the adult in the room. Right, you're the
head coach. Now, you're not a player anymore. You can't
be liking stuff on social media. First of all, you
(06:52):
know you're too old for that, right, I'm sorry if
you're you know you still but I can tell yeah
you can, but just don't like post that. That's something
that that that's what athletes do. You you're not an
athlete anymore. You're not a captain. You're you're the head
coach and you're liking a social media dude, don't get
involved in that, man.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
You good thing though, You had more than twenty four
hours before you met the media to meet with whatever
group of advisors you've got there, the PR staff, you
hand and that's the answer you give. Now you just
look like a child on top of well, you already
look like a child. Now you've just doubled down on it.
(07:26):
Now you're just doubled out. It's like, I'm mad, and
you're gonna know about it. It's like, no, it's an
obvious question, right, I mean, we've seen performative Mike Tomlin
and Popovich and all those guys through the year. For
Antonio Peers, that doesn't look to be anything of I'm
taking on a persona here. It's legitimately I have I
don't know how to answer these questions because I'm mad.
(07:49):
They're like, no, it's a bad situation. You're the coach
massage it out to the to the assembled media there
that you know, you're working through this afficult situation Davante,
you know, ongoing conversations blah blah blah. You know, no,
we talk often like no, you're mad at me if
you talked off and you shouldn't be so pissed off
(08:12):
right like there, Like it should be a much softer message.
If legitimately you're having a dialogue with Davante Adams his agent,
uh and within the organization of how to best get
through this situation?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
How are you guys?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Wait, talk often very often, like often, you know, we
haven't seen you in uh and the misses around together
in a while.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
We're good. Everything's fantastic. You print that.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
And I talked to DeVante whatever the hell I want
to and we talked earlier.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Did I get prove it? Did it go well?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Not at all? Not at all, But it doesn't matter,
Like that's exactly it.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
But that's like just hey, if you talk to do
we talk of it?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Wow, he almost started channeling the inner venom voynio.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Let me just take a bite out of these reporters.
And now he's holding up the microphone. We can't do it.
The blood will spurred out. We'll have to stop this
interview session. Little bite now. As far as where he's
going to end up, lobster day, I told you yesterday,
like the Jets are going to outpit everybody because just
(09:26):
think about what the optic would be at one Jets
drive if Devanta Adams is available. The Jets have all
kinds of problems. Offensively jobs are at stake, but mainly
what would is going to happen if you don't get
Devanta Adams? For Aaron Rodgers right, as powerful as he
is with the Jets. Can you imagine what that's going
to be If they don't get Adams and the offense
(09:48):
still struggles. This is going to be a season that
just gets ripped apart at the seams for the Jets,
and it's going to be an awful last three months
of the year, right, absolutely terrible two and a half months,
two and a half months of the year. So they're
gonna get them. Now that being said, Look, the Jets
need DeVante Adams. The Saints probably need them more. Okay,
(10:09):
because look, I'm old enough to remember after two weeks
it was, oh, the Saints are the greatest team in
the world. Look how good they are? Oh my good,
how they blew out the Dallas Cowboys. Blah blah blah. Yeah, okay, Uh,
sometimes two games are just two games, and it's the
beginning of the season. We pay more attention to it
than it would be if in Week eight and Week
nine the Saints beat the Panthers and then they beat
(10:29):
the Cowboys. Bat whoa, Saints beat the Cowboys pretty bad.
But because the first two games, oh look how good
the Saints are. Yeah, that's why it'll overreact to two
games beginning of the season, right, because the first two
who are the darlings. The first two weeks Saints and
the Cardinals, they were so good. Well, neither team has
won since. Okay, so just so you're saying, things came
back to earth a little bit for both of those teams,
and the Saints. Yeah are they okay? Yeah they're okay.
(10:51):
But what but we tell you when you don't get
better in the offseason, you don't just suddenly improve your
record because everything is great and you turn the page
on the calendar. No, you still have your issues. And
while things were great for the Saints the first two games, right,
they blew out the Cowboys, but maybe the Cowboys stink.
You gotta remember the Cowboys aren't really that good we had.
They haven't looked good.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
All now and now they're hurt.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Maybe they just stink, But that's what we've been living towards.
And now you've seen the last couple of weeks. They
got problems, right, they had problems offensively against the Eagles,
they had problems against the Falcons. They lost without giving
up an offensive touchdown, and Derek Carr was just okay
after Week two against the Cowboys, We're gonna do whatever
we want to do so for the Saints who started
(11:34):
out so good and where they sit right now, Yeah,
they have some nice weapons, right. Alvin Kamara is a
good running back, but he's getting close to being thirty.
How much more time does he have? And it's not
like the guys they got coming behind him. Jamal Williams
is not Alvin Kamara. They can't get Kendre Miller on
the field, and so running is gonna be difficult. You
got a couple of really good wide receivers. Chris Alave
(11:56):
is fantastic, right and and I like a lot of
what Rashid was. He can do. He kind of jumped
on the map last year. But if you'll get Devonte
Adams that suddenly freeze everything up offensively, you can do
so many more things. And Taysom Hill when he comes
back when he's healthy, can still be that gadget guy
like Davontagne, especially coming into an offense with familiarity with
the quarterback, He's gonna open that up immensely. And his
(12:19):
addition to the Saints will be more than his addition
to the Jets, because the Jets already the Jets already
have a great defense. They have two really really good
running backs. Could they use Davonte Adams one hundred percent? Right?
Because Garrett Wilson is having a little trouble out of
the gate. Maybe part of it is he's had the
toughest assignments defensively the first four weeks of the season.
Maybe it's maybe it's just, you know, Aaron Rodgers because
(12:39):
he can't throw the football like he used to. So
if that's the case, like there's too many questions with
the Jets, like is Davont Adam's really gonna solve those? Now?
It'll solve it on paper where you bring in and
have Adams and Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams and Alan
Lazard and suddenly all the Jets are great. But the
Jets already have pretty good players. And if Aaron Rodgers
can't throw the football, which I told you is the
really big thing with Rogers is how skittish he looks,
(13:02):
how much more pronounced off his backfoot he throws the football,
how early he throws the football that last drive against
the Broncos last week. I'm saying, what the hell is this?
What the hell is going on? But all those things
are happening with Rogers, DeVonta Adams comes in, it's not
gonna change any of those things.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Rogers.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Either is gonna get it and he's gonna be great,
or this is what we're getting and the Jets are
gonna beander throughout the season and getting DeVonta Adams is
not gonna help. Whereas getting DeVonta Adams for the Saints
that will help them a little bit more. So surprised you,
you think, oh, Jets, Jedd No, no, no, he would
probably help the Saints a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
No, I like that.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
But my expectations for the Saints were rock bottom, you know,
because we did the same thing you and I when
we did all our preseason prognostication. We basically said, Panthers
are gonna suck, so we can't pick them as the
worst team in the NFL. And the Patriots, or I
should say the Chiefs, Well, the Patriots are down in
(13:57):
the bottom two, but the Patriots moving into the other
side of the spectrum of the Chiefs, we couldn't take
them to win it because well that's boring. So you know,
we had to make some alternate decisions around there. So
I had the Saints as my team that would be
a bottom feeder. Seven and a half was their season
win Tolder, it totally got up to ten and a
half as people got all excited and money started flowing in.
(14:20):
So I hear you on that.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I do.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
But the expectations for the Saints opportunity certainly great. But
let's face it, for the Jets, they need every bit
of good publicity they can get. And if DeVante Adams
doesn't come home to Aaron Rodgers, Douglas and Sala, who
are already fighting the firestorm of the fish wraps and
the media frenzy there in New York, ain't gonna get it.
(14:43):
I mean, now you're giving it the opportunity for it
really to go to hell. Even if Devanta Adams does
absolutely nothing for whatever team acquires him, it's all about,
you know, where the Jets are and expectations and whatever
you can do to try to prop it up. And
maybe it is as so as Aaron Rodgers is not
comfortable in the pocket. Aaron Rodgers can't hit with the
(15:05):
same precision he did because you know that was always
just assume that was gonna be just fine. As long
as he was upright, everything was gonna be fine. And
he's gonna be throwing ropes. And so long as Mike
Williams is healthy and Garrett Wilson's healthy and that dual
backfield is fine. You've got the security blanket that is
Alan Lazard, a little bit of conclent. Hey, everything's gonna
(15:27):
be great. But you know what you can do, at
least cosmetically to try to at least help things along.
You bring in Devonte Adams. It buys you a little
bit of love locally because then you can say, what
else did you want us to do? Go get DeAndre Hopkins?
Did you want us to go get?
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Like?
Speaker 4 (15:45):
What else do you want to I would say we
wanted you to go get a functional offensive lineman to
go up in there, but you know the way to
go from there. We I like the cut of your
jib and going with the Saints instead of taking what
would have been an obvious turn for you, So.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
I'll do it for you.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Desperation is a stinky cologne. And if Flores owns the
Jets on Sunday, yeah, the clamoring for DeVante adams arrival
will be very loud.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
They're gonna want him to meet the plane on the
way back. That's ended be at the airport. When it
lands no and divides Adams, They're going, hey, everybody, I'm
driving the bus back to one Jets drive.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Let's go. Dude.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
He's gonna be up in the rafters in the third
deck like he Sting back in the day of WCW
got it.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Sting Exit al Vala Fresca Exit, swallowing down The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike carmin Love from
the tirec dot Com Studios. Coming up next, we got
more from the Major League Baseball and pretty sure that
we're owed money for something. I don't know who owes it,
but somebody owes us money for something. It's next right here,
Jason and Mike. This is Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven

Live from the tire rack dot Com Studios. About I'm
pretty sure somebody owes us money.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I'm pretty sure. Well listen, this is this is past
the whole. Oh hey, let me steal what they're being
what they're saying on their show at night, repurpose it
the next day on TV and the radio. Now this
goes further than that. This is this is further than that.
My bad, Jay.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
That's ok that's okay.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, I'll just take inspiration from your show. I know,
I know, and I know, and you go on your
your your podcast you do about food, and you and
you spout out all the things I say about the
right food.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, I'm waiting for you to co host with me. Yeah, dude, again,
we would do the best food I'm telling you. You
and I would do a podcast. It would be about food.
Each podcast we would break down one specific food and
we would call the podcast Don't Eat Them. We would
start with dirt. We would start with it. Yeah, it
would work our way up. But you know, the first
(18:02):
episode would just be called dirt. Yeah, okay, dirt, Yeah, dirt. No,
don't eat dirt.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Well, you can't know what do you mean?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You can say?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
There there can eat dirt.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
There's a podcast right there we start with and that
would be the title of every of every podcast. Every
single episode would be the food. Oh I love due.
You gotta listen to dirt podcast. Man, that was fantastic.
The cabbage one was really good too, But man, the
dirt one's my favorite. Oh great, yeah, yeah, the cauliflower one,
they both agreed. A man, it's the first time they
ever agreed. I couldn't believe it. I thought Tyson would
(18:29):
clearly say calliflower. No, he says empty calories. Jason's like,
I told you this for the longest time. Well they
agree them. That's a good one too. There's your podcast.
We got money here, don't eat that, and that's what
we I would love that straight cash. But now real
cash owed to us because it was on the twenty
(18:51):
sixth okay, the twenty sixth of August twenty six or September,
the twenty sixth of August. You and I debuted Venom
Jerry Jones. Right that August twenty August twenty six we
(19:12):
debuted Venom Jerry Jones. The reason Jerry Jones hadn't paid
CD Lamb and Dak Prescott is because he listen. Venom
Jerry Jones had taken Jerry Jones over and was stopping
him from paying people.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Right, It's what it.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Was, Jerry, don't pay this car. Just let me beat
his entire heart. I'll just pull it right out of
his body and either now gonna need the heart. The
heart can't run a pattern. All that, and we debuted
Venom Jerry Jones. It was a lot of fun, right,
And Venom was keeping Jerry Jones from paying people, which
is what he really wanted to do. Really want to
give this guy money, Jerry, don't.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Give him any money. Instead, I'm just gonna eat his foot.
Let me just gnaw on a couple of his toes.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
He could still roll out to pass with losing.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
A couple of toes. Candy Jerry, Jerry, Sorry.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
It was fun, right, Okay, And this is before Dak
Prescott got paid. This is before Ceedy land up and
we debuted Venom Jerry Jones, all about Jerry Jones and
not paying Dak Prescott. Well, what's come out in the
last twenty four hours? A trailer for the new Venom movie.
And again, yes, we're getting another. I can't believe we're
(20:17):
getting three, three Venom movies. Like this is where we're
at right now in the in the cinema in the
United States. We're getting three Venom movies. This trailer came
out less than a day ago for Venom and oh yeah,
it stars Venom and Dak Prescott. Can we finally admit
(20:38):
we're lost?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
We know exactly where we are. Do you see the
stadium nearby? Stop? I think? Come on, guys, I'm gonna
miss my warm ups. It's weird. Boy, I'm not that
kind of cowboy. How fast do you think you can
(21:00):
got the card?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
This is not in my new contract.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I will see you.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Surprise dark Pass not in my contract. A lunch, horsepower off?
What did you eat? You? Here?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
We go?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Venom Glass Dance only in theaters.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Okay, So there Dak Prescott in this trailer and even
referencing his new contract, so you know they did this
after he got paid. Somebody owes us money Venom, Jerry Jones,
Dak Prescott, and Dak Prescott's in this really, Dak press
someone owes us money? Like this is this is past? Hey,
we're gonna steal a table because I get that. Hey,
guys have made good money. And oh I just I
(21:47):
just bought my new mansion because boy, I'll tell you.
Taking those takes from Jason and Mike at night, boy,
that's really something, oh man, As long as I can
just do a little bit. Uh No, this is this,
this is different. This is hey, we're putting out a movie.
We did the Venom Jerry Jones beat, and now all
about Dak Prescott and Dak Prescott's in this thing with him.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I mean, come on, well I even found off going
back to August twenty sixth. That's Swallen Dome where we
put Ai to work and we made the Venom Jerry
Jones image.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, yeah, telling you man, somebody ows his money. Somebody
owes us money. I don't know, but I mean I
mean maybe we'll get like, you know, three percent or
whatever it is, and we're looking pretty good. But if
someone owes us money for that.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Yeah, because we debuted it with the CD LAMB deal. Yeah,
yes we did, which predated the Dak deal. You know
that was unveiled just ahead of the season opener. So
you know, I'm bringing that back to the light, tweeting
it back out saying where's my compensation? Do I get
(22:47):
to be eaten in part four when they inevitably green
light that? Because this makes money?
Speaker 1 (22:53):

of my tweet here.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
No, uh yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
We say a lot of stuff, and obviously the news
cycle is what it is. And it's kind of like
I was referencing with Insiders to a bit. It's like,
you know, we had it. It's a good talk talking point.
I just like the compensation that goes with it. You know,
it's really really what it comes down to you or
a story.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
By kind of like we are in Hollywood, you know.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
M hmm that listen, don't ask for much, but when
this is something's gonna make a lot of money, Like
this is a money thing, man, this is money, and
you too. That's why I should have said patent pending
after was over. I think we did.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
I think you go back, did I know?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Whenever we do something like that, and even we didn't,
I mean, there's the audio trace. I don't think you
have to yell patent pending. I think it's it's quite clear.
You know, we're an Idea farm, hey Venham people, when
Tom Hardy inevitably comes back for number four because you
give him a lot of money, kind of like Downy
Junior coming back because the Playe's in sucks according to
everybody that's seen it, and he signed this new deal
(24:33):
with y'all.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
When when Hardy does the same, I want to be
eating first.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Exit out bout of Fresco exit Swallen Dome. We got
more from one of the biggest stories in sports coming
up in about ninety seconds. But first, Brian Fenley has
watch trending in the wide world of sports.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
But yeah, Mike was talking about Idea Farms and I
just thought about my aunt farm as a child, and
I just had some.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Flashpread good show too.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Was there a book or no that was Animal Farm?
How dare I dear? Yeah, there was that too.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
The pinks were standing on two feet at the end. Yes,
tell the difference between them and the humans. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Sorry, spoilers for animal part.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yes, spoiler.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
There might have been a movie or two on that
book that came out many, many years ago. Right now,
we are in the newsroom and we're focused on what's
happening in Major League Baseball Wildcard Series.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Happening all over the place.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
A sweep pulled off on by the Padres after the
five to four victory against the Braves tonight.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
That was a sweep in two games.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
That sets up a date on Saturday for the Padres
in the NLDS against the LA Dodgers, that best of
five series, and it will be a game one at
Dodger Stadium. Just after eight thirty Eastern time. The Mets
had a chance to get the sweep. They were up
a game and up three to two in the eighth inning,
and what did they do? They puked all over themselves
(25:54):
in the eighth inning and gave up three runs and
the Brewers come from behind and win it five to
three in another NL wild card matchup, that's a game two,
so the Brewers force the game three.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
That will be tomorrow as.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
In Thursday at about eight thirty Eastern time. Also to
mention here regarding Major League Baseball, we did see a
sweep pulled off by the Detroit Tigers yes after a
five to two Game two went over the Houston Astros.
So the Astros are done after two games. And the
Kansas City Royals they stunt the Baltimore Orioles two to
(26:30):
one in a game two, so the Orioles held to
one run at home in two games. The Royals are
getting set to take on the Yankees in the Alds.
And speaking of those Tigers, they will take on the Guardians.
And Jason and Mike, as I worked the microphone back
over to you, I know it's going to be hard
for you, Jason, to sleep tonight, because we might as
(26:52):
well just assume at this point, if the Mets didn't
win it after being up a game in front of
the eighth inning, that they're probably just going to get
knocked out tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I've told you, I have already accepted that they're going
to lose tomorrow, so when it happens, that's what happened.
I accept that the worst possible outcome for my teams
is always the most likely, So I'm okay with that.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
I'm also okay if you want my My wife is
a therapist and she's taking on new clients, so if
you are feeling like you might need a session after
your Mets get bounced, she's available.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Just wanted to throw that out there as a nice guy,
and at a discount rate, right, Yeah, okay, Yeah, Well
we'll make something happen. Yeah, I mean if.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
We hadn't taken that workplace violence training, I mean he
gave you the operative phrase of getting knocked out.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
No, I'll take a couple of free sessions and I'll
see where we're at after that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Sure, percent, there we go. Thank you, Brian fed Let's
talk it out. But look, speaking of the Mets, okay,
huh in. Since Major League Baseball has gone to this
new format of hey first round series, best of three
double bos, it's awesome. Every single team that's won the
(28:04):
first game has won the series. Only once has a
series gone to three games, but team that won Game
one still won the series. What do we get the
Mets and the Brewers tomorrow after the Brewers win tonight?
Tell me I'm still gonna be saying the same thing
tomorrow night, or are we gonna be saying? And for
the first time ever a series has been won by
(28:26):
a team that didn't win the first game. It's amazing, amazing,
you know, and now so totally Mets. Here's what I
here's it. This is where like my life like like
kind of goes on hundred eighty degrees because I'm gonna
get to you, why the Mets, Why the Mets? You
really screwed this game up in the eighth inning? Is that?
You know? Last year for the championship for softball, and
(28:48):
and we were my team. We were in the championship
and it was a best of three and we lost
the first game. We got killed. The first game. I
couldn't I couldn't even coach because I was due to
the show.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
So we had to win two out.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Of three on the weekend, and we won both games
on the weekend and won the championship.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I know, it was surprise. There was surprise.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I was like, eh, And at the ceremony at the end,
the guy who gave out the trophies and stuff and
everything said, you know, eighty percent of the time a
team that wins the first game of a three game
series goes on to win the championship.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
But not this time.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
And I'm like, oh, wow, man, eighty percent of the time.
Look at the odds that we bucked to make that happen.
And all I'm doing thing is about that right now,
going yeah, when the Mets lose tomorrow, it's gonna be Yeah,
here the Brewers one of the twenty percent that makes
that happen. I really, I'm not gonna think about that
now without thinking about this. I'm sorry, buddy, Buddy, I'll
(29:41):
tell you well.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
You know, and the look you can blame me, I
mean you can.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Everything.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Fine, went winning, we were winning three to two, and
you come on the air beginning show and go it
is right now, we're gonna get all sweeps and then
two home runs in the game is over. So it's
your fault. Really, I'll blame you.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
I mean, not the fact that he left the ball
up in the zone.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
No, or that the manager decided, hey, for the fourth
time in five days, let's trot him out there.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
They were sitting up there.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
He's had a good run.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Or you know, after Churio hit the home run, he
didn't run to the bullpen because what do we see
in every other game?
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Damn it, I can't get out of the duck out.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Fast enough to go to the bend. I mean, were
another arm ian. Look at what Baltimore did. I was
waiting for Jim Palmer to come down from the broadcast
to move. They went through so many arms today it
is underwear.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I'm gonna throw in my underwear, just like those jockey
ads from the Lone.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Mom was a huge fan. Jim Palmer has always had
a special place.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
But mom, sorry, your mom's got those cutouts from the
magazines from like nineteen eighty two, Jim Palmer up on
the wall and Ingelbern humpered egg baby. Those are the
two oh okay, spanning the the agent.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Jim Palmer was.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Like six nine, one hundred and seventy pounds like that
was Jim Palmer, all right.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
So he was orange, just like the Orange logo.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
So the the here's how you know, I'll tell you
how the Mets screwed up tonight. And look it's a
big part of how The biggest thing that happens in
the playoffs to any major league team is how managers
mismanage the bullpen. Right. It's a really fine art and
it's not easy. But these are managers of Major League Baseball.
I'm not asking someone who you know works in a
(31:22):
bank to come in and run a bullpen, right, this
is what you get paid for. And still in the playoffs,
the bullpen situation gets mismanaged. Now We've talked a lot
of the last couple of nights, and we're gonna do
it throughout the playoffs about how hey, managers go to
the bullpen. They default to the bullpen too early. And
when you do that in the playoffs, at bats are
always more of a grind. It's not like the regular season.
(31:45):
And and you're gonna and you keep going to the
bullpen like you do during the regular season, You're gonna
find the guy who it's not his night. Right. The
Mets found film Matt and tonight wasn't his night. But
this is this is how you know the Mets screw
things up, because what did I tell you from the beginning,
how surprised was bottom of the eighth inning? Everything is
going crazy in Milwaukee. Top of the order is coming
up for the Brewers, and Edwin Diaz is not on
(32:08):
the mound. Like this is as high a leverage situation
as you could possibly get. Here's the top of the
order with a guy that's hit home run already, and
you know this is all we're saving for the three, four,
five top of the order coming up for the Brewers. Right,
this is where Diaz needs to be in the game.
And it doesn't matter that he you know, he blew
the game a couple of he's your closer, right, it's narco,
(32:29):
It's it's intimidation, it's a factor. It's a belief the
Mets had, we're gonna get this done. And the guy
throws one hundred miles an hour, right, So di Az
needs to be in the game. But here's how you
know that, no matter how you dress this up, the
Mets screwed it up because I could say, well, you
went to the wrong guy in the bullpen. You should
have let Ryan stan It continue to pitch because he
(32:51):
was lights out in the seventh inning through eleven pitches,
he was throwing ninety eight to ninety nine and the
Brewers had no chance. Right, all of these different things
I could say, but instead, I'm just gonna say this.
The Mets had a lead in the eighth inning of
a playoff game that was going to clinch their way
to the next round of the playoffs. They had a
lead in the eighth inning, and your best pitcher doesn't
(33:11):
get in the game. That's the end of it right there.
They had a lead in the eighth inning, and your
best pitcher never gets in the game. Like that's Edwin
Diaz has to be in that game. He needed to
be to start the eighth inning, but he needs to
be in that game when you need you need six outs,
and he never got in. And that's no matter how
you want to slice it up about strategies and different things.
(33:33):
That was a big mistake. And that's look Met's gonna
met right waiting for it to It was not trending
well for them. They didn't get a hit with runners
in scoring position, and and and show me a team
that continues to not hit and lets a team hang around.
I'll show you a team that loses a game and
the Mets continue to have runners in scoring position, couldn't
get any hits to bring him in. Even if they
had runners in scoring position with nobody out, they couldn't
(33:53):
bring anybody in, and it happened in the middle innings
when the bullpen bruise bullpen was on the ropes. As
a result, the Brewers are two home runs in the
eighth inning off of Phil Matten and Diaz doesn't get
in the game, and the Mets lose. Like this is
a game that I've seen one hundred thousand times with
the Mets. Hey, this is where they threw up on
themselves and they needed to make the different decisions better decisions,
(34:13):
and they didn't. But everything you could say, it could
come back to they had the lead in the eighth
inning of a knockout game in the playoffs, and Edwin
Diaz didn't get in.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
But you saw the same thing on the other side, right,
the Brewers actually get away with it.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
They go to the pen early.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Once again things have settled down, opportunity to stretch a
little bit and you go to the pen. So we'll
see if that backfires as we get to Game three.
See positivity on the other side, man, And you can't
go two for one hundred with runners in scoring position again,
can you?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:44):
No, I think nothing else. I think they can, Buddy,
I think there's something else.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Body some damn body armor and get up there and
take one for the team.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Let's go exit out bouta fresca exit swollen down. The

Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best Friend
Mike Harmon. Jason, can I tell you something? Yes, Alex
Tyscher go ahead. Number one, you opened bananas the wrong way.
You just talked about that, and no subscribers said don't
eat that. Bryan Finley said he would definitely listen. Yeah,
so we should do about a pod called don't Eat That?
And every podcast is about one food. Tysher and I
(35:44):
just had a big disagreement about the quote right way
to open a banana? Tyshert says, oh, opening from the
top is the wrong way it is? I go, how
is that the wrong way? Because it's simple. No, don't
eat a strawberry from the opposite side of You don't know.
Am I losing any sort of nutrients or anything by
opening a banana the way that you usually open it?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
You just look look correct what I mean? I look
backwards or forwards? Sometimes I walk backwards.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Stop? What is it?
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Maut this?
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Then?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Why does any monkey open it the wrong way?
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Then?
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Because we have our opposable thumbs are better. It's no,
I think the easiest way to open it at open
a banana, we didn't feel it. Do you know where
that black spot always stays with the banana?
Speaker 3 (36:26):
I think we have more decks. Terror.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Just remember every time you open a banana, that bottom
spot has the black spot right. Yeah, if you open
it the other way, you get rid of it right away.
But if I open it the one way, I could
be eating it very quickly. Jason, Sometimes you just live
a bad riot. That's all right. You can just walk
the wrong way, wrong ways to open it, but there's
always u turns for people like you. It's okay.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
Coming up next on how to eat that that is
not that is okay, you can eat It's okay.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
The Jason Smiths with Mike Carmen live from the tirec
dot Com Studies. All right, bananas, we be one of
our first shows for the don That podcast. Bat than bananas. Okay,
after that then candalope, then we'll get to absolutely Okay,
very good. Don't get me on sour sop.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Sa.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I'm not gonna put you said it with sour soap
when you first wouldring that. Well, now I just I
was corrected at sop. Oh okaycause why would I eat
something that has soap in it?
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Yeah, that's why chop does sound exciting. Some folks when
they have cilantro, they say it tastes like soap. Right,
we clean up that.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Sour sop, right, so just wipe that up, give me
a thing, wipe that up. Uh, as we get in
the job. The final day of the first round of
the MLB Playoffs, tonight, we watched the Padres eliminate the
Atlanta Braves. Manny Machado and the Padres head into this
weekend against the Dodgers, and and for a bit of
(37:39):
positivity here, just for a couple.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Of seconds, let's get you.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
It's tough because these are guys that really you know
when they come to it. They've been stars for a
long time, but they've been yeah butt, Yeah, these guys
are big stars. Yeah butt. But both Manny Machado and
Bryce Harper have both really matured a lot over the
past few years, and Manny Machado has put away all
the hustle problems and the questions about him and his
(38:05):
behavior since he signed with San Diego. Bryce Harper with
Philadelphia has become a great teammate and doesn't get thrown
out of games all the time and lose his temper.
He's a guy that plays the game the right way
and respects the game. Both of these guys, as great
as they were for a long time, had some yeah
but personality things, and a lot of it sometimes can
(38:26):
just be maturity. Hey, yeah, well, people pay a lot
of attention to me for a long time. I don't
need to mature. People do what I say all the time.
But everybody gets to a point where, hey, you become
more self aware. Sometimes you do it when you're twenty two,
sometimes when you're twenty five, sometimes and you're thirty. But
the last few years and when you haven't noticed. With
Machado and Bryce Harper, they have done that. Machado is there,
(38:49):
Roberto Clementi Man of the Year nominee for the Padres,
for everything he's does for the team and in the community.
Bryce Harper does a lot of great things. His teammates
love him. The teammates love both of these guys, and
I want to give both of them credit because they
have changed from being superstars.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
A boy, they rubbed me the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
They don't do this, they don't do that, and now
they are guys that play the game the right way
and they are just simply superstars. And it's great to
see that they don't have any of that tagged with
them anymore than now. Hey, yeah they're a yeah butt guy.
No no, no, no more yeah butts for either Bryce
Harper or Manua Chada.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Community leadership. Both came onto the stage when they were
what twenty years old, right, and it had already been
widely evaluated, acknowledged and publicized well before then, and we
see it. So sometimes you get really good results from
that and all positivity. And look at the Empire Lebron James, right,
(39:42):
he's there with his son Media day, all that fun stuff,
and then you have plenty of other stories and those
are the ones we normally concentrate on. So you know,
if it bleeds, it leads kind of thing. You know,
we get all the documentaries about guys going broke or indiscretions.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Et cetera.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
So yeah, a little bit of positive. I mean, Machado,
you know on the field smiling from year to year
is the beat La Chance rained down after their win tonight.
Harper with all he does whenever there's you know, something
that he can lend his name and and money and
clout to to get people on a you know, to
to commit to a cause. He's been one to do that.
(40:22):
And I think at this point in his career kind
of laughs at the attention and some of the you know,
go back to clown questions, bro all of that fun stuff.
Because there's also the hey showy Otani's the face of
the league. I don't have to be that guy anymore.
I could just go and play baseball.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Yeah no, no, that's great. It's great. But also people
still pay attention to you even though you're not the
number one. Started to learn that he still people will
still pay attention to you. But you just not the
number one stares. Understand that it's okay.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Get to live out and just play baseball. Hey, are
you winning tomorrow or are you gonna be all salty
while we're doing Thursday.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Night Salted Caramel.

com is the way tire buying should be. Well, you know,
(00:51):
just a little bit more to our conversation a couple
minutes ago before you get into the big DeVante Adams
update from today. We talked a few minutes ago about
how ESPN to replace Adrian Wojhroowski is their big NBA insider.
Potentially you're floating around the possibility that Adam Schefter or
Jeff Passon, who are football and baseball insiders could take
over and be a basketball insider as well and be
(01:14):
the ultimate insider. Now I like that you've made it
the ultimate insider.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well reality show. What was that guy saying, Mike Hall
that won?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Uh oh yeah yeah, dream job? Sure? Yeah oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Let's see how you paced through uh having to be
an expert and insider in both sports?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
How do you build those relationships?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
He's a Big ten network now. I just saw him
Today's he was doing like Big ten Media day for
women's basketball. I think it's what he was doing. Hey,
there's my call. I used to have my call on
my show at night when I was at ESPN. I
used to talk to him a lot when we were there.
He's he's a good dude. I mean, he's still a
Big ten network. Like it's like a second decade at
Big ten Network.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Had a hell of a run. Absolutely, But look, but
you you talked about it.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Look, we mentioned the points of you know, it's it's
impossible to do this and to you know, these are
guys that build up reputations and relationships, and suddenly ESPN
is just gonna tell all these teams when you have
something big, you're gonna call these guys like that's not
gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
This is our guy. I mean we talk with Jay
Glazer about it all the time.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah. Look, he lives with his phone. I mean that's
how it goes. Yeah, but you said, you know, look,
does it matter ten minutes after a story is broken,
who breaks it? And it's not a big deal anymore.
And you know the thing is I hear you on that.
But it's the same reason why people get paid millions
of dollars to be on sports television during the day
when they have one hundred thousand or less people watching, right,
(02:39):
I mean, I mean this is I mean, it's it's
amazing that you think, hey, here a networks that are
spending all this money in five six million dollars a
year on people when one hundred thousand people are less watching,
Like Sarah like, think about that. This is worth But
they're paying for the cachet. They're paying for the day
long news cycle that what we say on our shows
lives virally. And look, that's really what it is. It's like, say,
(03:02):
we're paying for that. We want to be the stop
and when people go to get on the computer for information,
they see our clips everywhere and that's kind of what.
It's the same thing here, Like you want to know, okay,
when something is breaking, you want to know that it
is synonymous with a certain network, right, Like when you
know something is breaking in Major League Baseball, you think, okay,
you think Ken Rosenthal, you think Jeff Passon football, you
(03:23):
think Jay Glazier, you think Adam Schefter. Right, everybody wants
you to go, hey, we're gonna come to our guy
and our network when when news is broken, because trusted, right,
But does it really matter? No, I agree with you,
it doesn't. But it's more about the cachet and you're
paying that money to those people, the insiders for that,
you're paying for the image and what that does for
you for your business. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Absolutely, But the trust trust factor, right, once upon a
time when the blue check mark meant what it did
even though they never thought thought it fit. Maybe because
it's at Swollen Dome instead of at Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Uh, give me my blue check mark back of the day.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
But it's just the idea that you know, it's safe,
it's secure and corroborates, you know, all right, it's not
some knucklehead.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Make sure it's not. What have some of the.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Best parody accounts been through the years, right, So you
don't get fooled.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I get it, like there's all of that.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
But you know, once it's out there and we start
to work with it, you know, like it's I don't know, Antonio.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Pierce or something, we just run with it.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Or Jabal I should say, DeVante Adams, see different Adams.
He's going to go on and do a million interviews
to tell you what he thinks about each of it.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So it's good.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Now, speaking of DeVante Adams, we got another bit of
a left turn from him earlier today when we found
out through sources that the two teams he is most
amenable to be traded to are the Jets, No surprise
and the Saints. Hey, I want to be reunited with
my guys. I want to either play with Aaron Rodgers,
want to play with Derek Carr. Want what's familiar? I
(05:01):
want to go home again. So we get that and
we understand this is where things are going, and likely
a trade is going to happen because things are untenable. Right.
The Raiders aren't don't have him active because of his
quote hamstring injury. This a couple of days after Antonio
Pierce liked a social media post that said DeVonta Adams
has played his final game with the Raiders. The Raiders,
(05:23):
it's let it be known. Yes, we're out for trading him.
We want a second round pick and some other concessions.
Devont Adams has said, yes, I want out. These are
my teams I want to go to. So he knows
being traded. Right, we know where it's going. Now if
you before we get into where the best fit is right,
because I'm gonna surprise you, Let's let's just make sure
there's no stone unturned. Let's listen to Antonio Pierce from
(05:45):
today talking about everything that went on social media wise
them liking them, and make sure that there's nothing He
says that that that makes us think that, Okay, hey,
maybe maybe Devanta Adams could actually come back to the
Raiders a posts earlier this week.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Is that something that was accidental in your.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, I'm just focused on the relationship with.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Since I believe that.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Yeah, he tried to go Belichick, so I give them credit.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Let's let's keep going down this path.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, it's I'm I'm not talking about that.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Well, the follow up is obviously well Davante said, you
didn't reach out.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
No, no, no, not doing it. Not doing it. So
he's gone, he's gone. So you know he's gone, right,
you know he's gone, and you know there's there's no way. Look,
he has he's not going to play again. He wouldn't
deny the social media post. Antonio Pierce. Look, he's like
we we talked about it the other night. He's got
to be the adult in the room. Right, you're the
head coach. Now, you're not a player anymore. You can't
be liking stuff on social media. First of all, you
(06:52):
know you're too old for that, right, I'm sorry if
you're you know you still but I can tell yeah
you can, but just don't like post that. That's something
that that that's what athletes do. You you're not an
athlete anymore. You're not a captain. You're you're the head
coach and you're liking a social media dude, don't get
involved in that, man.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
You good thing though, You had more than twenty four
hours before you met the media to meet with whatever
group of advisors you've got there, the PR staff, you
hand and that's the answer you give. Now you just
look like a child on top of well, you already
look like a child. Now you've just doubled down on it.
(07:26):
Now you're just doubled out. It's like, I'm mad, and
you're gonna know about it. It's like, no, it's an
obvious question, right, I mean, we've seen performative Mike Tomlin
and Popovich and all those guys through the year. For
Antonio Peers, that doesn't look to be anything of I'm
taking on a persona here. It's legitimately I have I
don't know how to answer these questions because I'm mad.
(07:49):
They're like, no, it's a bad situation. You're the coach
massage it out to the to the assembled media there
that you know, you're working through this afficult situation Davante,
you know, ongoing conversations blah blah blah. You know, no,
we talk often like no, you're mad at me if
you talked off and you shouldn't be so pissed off
(08:12):
right like there, Like it should be a much softer message.
If legitimately you're having a dialogue with Davante Adams his agent,
uh and within the organization of how to best get
through this situation?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
How are you guys?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Wait, talk often very often, like often, you know, we
haven't seen you in uh and the misses around together
in a while.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
We're good. Everything's fantastic. You print that.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
And I talked to DeVante whatever the hell I want
to and we talked earlier.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Did I get prove it? Did it go well?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Not at all? Not at all, But it doesn't matter,
Like that's exactly it.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
But that's like just hey, if you talk to do
we talk of it?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Wow, he almost started channeling the inner venom voynio.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Let me just take a bite out of these reporters.
And now he's holding up the microphone. We can't do it.
The blood will spurred out. We'll have to stop this
interview session. Little bite now. As far as where he's
going to end up, lobster day, I told you yesterday,
like the Jets are going to outpit everybody because just
(09:26):
think about what the optic would be at one Jets
drive if Devanta Adams is available. The Jets have all
kinds of problems. Offensively jobs are at stake, but mainly
what would is going to happen if you don't get
Devanta Adams? For Aaron Rodgers right, as powerful as he
is with the Jets. Can you imagine what that's going
to be If they don't get Adams and the offense
(09:48):
still struggles. This is going to be a season that
just gets ripped apart at the seams for the Jets,
and it's going to be an awful last three months
of the year, right, absolutely terrible two and a half months,
two and a half months of the year. So they're
gonna get them. Now that being said, Look, the Jets
need DeVante Adams. The Saints probably need them more. Okay,
(10:09):
because look, I'm old enough to remember after two weeks
it was, oh, the Saints are the greatest team in
the world. Look how good they are? Oh my good,
how they blew out the Dallas Cowboys. Blah blah blah. Yeah, okay, Uh,
sometimes two games are just two games, and it's the
beginning of the season. We pay more attention to it
than it would be if in Week eight and Week
nine the Saints beat the Panthers and then they beat
(10:29):
the Cowboys. Bat whoa, Saints beat the Cowboys pretty bad.
But because the first two games, oh look how good
the Saints are. Yeah, that's why it'll overreact to two
games beginning of the season, right, because the first two
who are the darlings. The first two weeks Saints and
the Cardinals, they were so good. Well, neither team has
won since. Okay, so just so you're saying, things came
back to earth a little bit for both of those teams,
and the Saints. Yeah are they okay? Yeah they're okay.
(10:51):
But what but we tell you when you don't get
better in the offseason, you don't just suddenly improve your
record because everything is great and you turn the page
on the calendar. No, you still have your issues. And
while things were great for the Saints the first two games, right,
they blew out the Cowboys, but maybe the Cowboys stink.
You gotta remember the Cowboys aren't really that good we had.
They haven't looked good.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
All now and now they're hurt.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Maybe they just stink, But that's what we've been living towards.
And now you've seen the last couple of weeks. They
got problems, right, they had problems offensively against the Eagles,
they had problems against the Falcons. They lost without giving
up an offensive touchdown, and Derek Carr was just okay
after Week two against the Cowboys, We're gonna do whatever
we want to do so for the Saints who started
(11:34):
out so good and where they sit right now, Yeah,
they have some nice weapons, right. Alvin Kamara is a
good running back, but he's getting close to being thirty.
How much more time does he have? And it's not
like the guys they got coming behind him. Jamal Williams
is not Alvin Kamara. They can't get Kendre Miller on
the field, and so running is gonna be difficult. You
got a couple of really good wide receivers. Chris Alave
(11:56):
is fantastic, right and and I like a lot of
what Rashid was. He can do. He kind of jumped
on the map last year. But if you'll get Devonte
Adams that suddenly freeze everything up offensively, you can do
so many more things. And Taysom Hill when he comes
back when he's healthy, can still be that gadget guy
like Davontagne, especially coming into an offense with familiarity with
the quarterback, He's gonna open that up immensely. And his
(12:19):
addition to the Saints will be more than his addition
to the Jets, because the Jets already the Jets already
have a great defense. They have two really really good
running backs. Could they use Davonte Adams one hundred percent? Right?
Because Garrett Wilson is having a little trouble out of
the gate. Maybe part of it is he's had the
toughest assignments defensively the first four weeks of the season.
Maybe it's maybe it's just, you know, Aaron Rodgers because
(12:39):
he can't throw the football like he used to. So
if that's the case, like there's too many questions with
the Jets, like is Davont Adam's really gonna solve those? Now?
It'll solve it on paper where you bring in and
have Adams and Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams and Alan
Lazard and suddenly all the Jets are great. But the
Jets already have pretty good players. And if Aaron Rodgers
can't throw the football, which I told you is the
really big thing with Rogers is how skittish he looks,
(13:02):
how much more pronounced off his backfoot he throws the football,
how early he throws the football that last drive against
the Broncos last week. I'm saying, what the hell is this?
What the hell is going on? But all those things
are happening with Rogers, DeVonta Adams comes in, it's not
gonna change any of those things.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Rogers.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Either is gonna get it and he's gonna be great,
or this is what we're getting and the Jets are
gonna beander throughout the season and getting DeVonta Adams is
not gonna help. Whereas getting DeVonta Adams for the Saints
that will help them a little bit more. So surprised you,
you think, oh, Jets, Jedd No, no, no, he would
probably help the Saints a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
No, I like that.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
But my expectations for the Saints were rock bottom, you know,
because we did the same thing you and I when
we did all our preseason prognostication. We basically said, Panthers
are gonna suck, so we can't pick them as the
worst team in the NFL. And the Patriots, or I
should say the Chiefs, Well, the Patriots are down in
(13:57):
the bottom two, but the Patriots moving into the other
side of the spectrum of the Chiefs, we couldn't take
them to win it because well that's boring. So you know,
we had to make some alternate decisions around there. So
I had the Saints as my team that would be
a bottom feeder. Seven and a half was their season
win Tolder, it totally got up to ten and a
half as people got all excited and money started flowing in.
(14:20):
So I hear you on that.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I do.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
But the expectations for the Saints opportunity certainly great. But
let's face it, for the Jets, they need every bit
of good publicity they can get. And if DeVante Adams
doesn't come home to Aaron Rodgers, Douglas and Sala, who
are already fighting the firestorm of the fish wraps and
the media frenzy there in New York, ain't gonna get it.
(14:43):
I mean, now you're giving it the opportunity for it
really to go to hell. Even if Devanta Adams does
absolutely nothing for whatever team acquires him, it's all about,
you know, where the Jets are and expectations and whatever
you can do to try to prop it up. And
maybe it is as so as Aaron Rodgers is not
comfortable in the pocket. Aaron Rodgers can't hit with the
(15:05):
same precision he did because you know that was always
just assume that was gonna be just fine. As long
as he was upright, everything was gonna be fine. And
he's gonna be throwing ropes. And so long as Mike
Williams is healthy and Garrett Wilson's healthy and that dual
backfield is fine. You've got the security blanket that is
Alan Lazard, a little bit of conclent. Hey, everything's gonna
(15:27):
be great. But you know what you can do, at
least cosmetically to try to at least help things along.
You bring in Devonte Adams. It buys you a little
bit of love locally because then you can say, what
else did you want us to do? Go get DeAndre Hopkins?
Did you want us to go get?
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Like?
Speaker 4 (15:45):
What else do you want to I would say we
wanted you to go get a functional offensive lineman to
go up in there, but you know the way to
go from there. We I like the cut of your
jib and going with the Saints instead of taking what
would have been an obvious turn for you, So.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
I'll do it for you.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Desperation is a stinky cologne. And if Flores owns the
Jets on Sunday, yeah, the clamoring for DeVante adams arrival
will be very loud.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
They're gonna want him to meet the plane on the
way back. That's ended be at the airport. When it
lands no and divides Adams, They're going, hey, everybody, I'm
driving the bus back to one Jets drive.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Let's go. Dude.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
He's gonna be up in the rafters in the third
deck like he Sting back in the day of WCW
got it.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Sting Exit al Vala Fresca Exit, swallowing down The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike carmin Love from

more from the Major League Baseball and pretty sure that
we're owed money for something. I don't know who owes it,
but somebody owes us money for something. It's next right here,
Jason and Mike. This is Fox Sports Radio.

the whole. Oh hey, let me steal what they're being
what they're saying on their show at night, repurpose it
the next day on TV and the radio. Now this
goes further than that. This is this is further than that.
My bad, Jay.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
That's ok that's okay.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, I'll just take inspiration from your show. I know,
I know, and I know, and you go on your
your your podcast you do about food, and you and
you spout out all the things I say about the
right food.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, I'm waiting for you to co host with me. Yeah, dude, again,
we would do the best food I'm telling you. You
and I would do a podcast. It would be about food.
Each podcast we would break down one specific food and
we would call the podcast Don't Eat Them. We would
start with dirt. We would start with it. Yeah, it
would work our way up. But you know, the first
(18:02):
episode would just be called dirt. Yeah, okay, dirt, Yeah, dirt. No,
don't eat dirt.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Well, you can't know what do you mean?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You can say?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
There there can eat dirt.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
There's a podcast right there we start with and that
would be the title of every of every podcast. Every
single episode would be the food. Oh I love due.
You gotta listen to dirt podcast. Man, that was fantastic.
The cabbage one was really good too, But man, the
dirt one's my favorite. Oh great, yeah, yeah, the cauliflower one,
they both agreed. A man, it's the first time they
ever agreed. I couldn't believe it. I thought Tyson would
(18:29):
clearly say calliflower. No, he says empty calories. Jason's like,
I told you this for the longest time. Well they
agree them. That's a good one too. There's your podcast.
We got money here, don't eat that, and that's what
we I would love that straight cash. But now real
cash owed to us because it was on the twenty
(18:51):
sixth okay, the twenty sixth of August twenty six or September,
the twenty sixth of August. You and I debuted Venom
Jerry Jones. Right that August twenty August twenty six we
(19:12):
debuted Venom Jerry Jones. The reason Jerry Jones hadn't paid
CD Lamb and Dak Prescott is because he listen. Venom
Jerry Jones had taken Jerry Jones over and was stopping
him from paying people.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Right, It's what it.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Was, Jerry, don't pay this car. Just let me beat
his entire heart. I'll just pull it right out of
his body and either now gonna need the heart. The
heart can't run a pattern. All that, and we debuted
Venom Jerry Jones. It was a lot of fun, right,
And Venom was keeping Jerry Jones from paying people, which
is what he really wanted to do. Really want to
give this guy money, Jerry, don't.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Give him any money. Instead, I'm just gonna eat his foot.
Let me just gnaw on a couple of his toes.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
He could still roll out to pass with losing.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
A couple of toes. Candy Jerry, Jerry, Sorry.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
It was fun, right, Okay, And this is before Dak
Prescott got paid. This is before Ceedy land up and
we debuted Venom Jerry Jones, all about Jerry Jones and
not paying Dak Prescott. Well, what's come out in the
last twenty four hours? A trailer for the new Venom movie.
And again, yes, we're getting another. I can't believe we're
(20:17):
getting three, three Venom movies. Like this is where we're
at right now in the in the cinema in the
United States. We're getting three Venom movies. This trailer came
out less than a day ago for Venom and oh yeah,
it stars Venom and Dak Prescott. Can we finally admit
(20:38):
we're lost?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
We know exactly where we are. Do you see the
stadium nearby? Stop? I think? Come on, guys, I'm gonna
miss my warm ups. It's weird. Boy, I'm not that
kind of cowboy. How fast do you think you can
(21:00):

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Venom Glass Dance only in theaters.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Okay, So there Dak Prescott in this trailer and even
referencing his new contract, so you know they did this
after he got paid. Somebody owes us money Venom, Jerry Jones,
Dak Prescott, and Dak Prescott's in this really, Dak press
someone owes us money? Like this is this is past? Hey,
we're gonna steal a table because I get that. Hey,
guys have made good money. And oh I just I
(21:47):
just bought my new mansion because boy, I'll tell you.
Taking those takes from Jason and Mike at night, boy,
that's really something, oh man, As long as I can
just do a little bit. Uh No, this is this,
this is different. This is hey, we're putting out a movie.
We did the Venom Jerry Jones beat, and now all
about Dak Prescott and Dak Prescott's in this thing with him.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I mean, come on, well I even found off going
back to August twenty sixth. That's Swallen Dome where we
put Ai to work and we made the Venom Jerry
Jones image.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, yeah, telling you man, somebody ows his money. Somebody
owes us money. I don't know, but I mean I
mean maybe we'll get like, you know, three percent or
whatever it is, and we're looking pretty good. But if
someone owes us money for that.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Yeah, because we debuted it with the CD LAMB deal. Yeah,
yes we did, which predated the Dak deal. You know
that was unveiled just ahead of the season opener. So
you know, I'm bringing that back to the light, tweeting
it back out saying where's my compensation? Do I get
(22:47):
to be eaten in part four when they inevitably green
light that? Because this makes money?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
This is like, this is this is now a little
bit more of okay, really really vandom Jerry, Like that's
so specific that we did a vet like this is
not Hey, the Dallas isn't gonna pay Dak Prescott. And
suddenly someone says, oh, I don't think Dallas is gonna
pay Dak Prescott either Venom and Jerry Jones and Dak Prescott.
Here's Venom and Dark Prescott. I mean, come on, I'd
be really okay. Do you think they called Jerry Jones
(23:15):
first A Nope, don't know what it is. Know that
the guy makes fun of me on the radio with it.
Not gonna do it on the other way, Nope, Nope,
not gonna Nope, it's not gonna be there. You can
take that. Take that. He'll be fine, he'll want to
do it.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Try to get me to unlock premium with the length
of my tweet here.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
No, uh yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
We say a lot of stuff, and obviously the news
cycle is what it is. And it's kind of like
I was referencing with Insiders to a bit. It's like,
you know, we had it. It's a good talk talking point.
I just like the compensation that goes with it. You know,
it's really really what it comes down to you or
a story.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
By kind of like we are in Hollywood, you know.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
M hmm that listen, don't ask for much, but when
this is something's gonna make a lot of money, Like
this is a money thing, man, this is money, and
you too. That's why I should have said patent pending
after was over. I think we did.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
I think you go back, did I know?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Whenever we do something like that, and even we didn't,
I mean, there's the audio trace. I don't think you
have to yell patent pending. I think it's it's quite clear.
You know, we're an Idea farm, hey Venham people, when
Tom Hardy inevitably comes back for number four because you
give him a lot of money, kind of like Downy
Junior coming back because the Playe's in sucks according to
everybody that's seen it, and he signed this new deal
(24:33):
with y'all.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
When when Hardy does the same, I want to be
eating first.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Exit out bout of Fresco exit Swallen Dome. We got
more from one of the biggest stories in sports coming
up in about ninety seconds. But first, Brian Fenley has
watch trending in the wide world of sports.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
But yeah, Mike was talking about Idea Farms and I
just thought about my aunt farm as a child, and
I just had some.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Flashpread good show too.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Was there a book or no that was Animal Farm?
How dare I dear? Yeah, there was that too.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
The pinks were standing on two feet at the end. Yes,
tell the difference between them and the humans. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Sorry, spoilers for animal part.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yes, spoiler.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
There might have been a movie or two on that
book that came out many, many years ago. Right now,
we are in the newsroom and we're focused on what's
happening in Major League Baseball Wildcard Series.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Happening all over the place.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
A sweep pulled off on by the Padres after the
five to four victory against the Braves tonight.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
That was a sweep in two games.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
That sets up a date on Saturday for the Padres
in the NLDS against the LA Dodgers, that best of
five series, and it will be a game one at
Dodger Stadium. Just after eight thirty Eastern time. The Mets
had a chance to get the sweep. They were up
a game and up three to two in the eighth inning,
and what did they do? They puked all over themselves
(25:54):
in the eighth inning and gave up three runs and
the Brewers come from behind and win it five to
three in another NL wild card matchup, that's a game two,
so the Brewers force the game three.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
That will be tomorrow as.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
In Thursday at about eight thirty Eastern time. Also to
mention here regarding Major League Baseball, we did see a
sweep pulled off by the Detroit Tigers yes after a
five to two Game two went over the Houston Astros.
So the Astros are done after two games. And the
Kansas City Royals they stunt the Baltimore Orioles two to
(26:30):
one in a game two, so the Orioles held to
one run at home in two games. The Royals are
getting set to take on the Yankees in the Alds.
And speaking of those Tigers, they will take on the Guardians.
And Jason and Mike, as I worked the microphone back
over to you, I know it's going to be hard
for you, Jason, to sleep tonight, because we might as
(26:52):
well just assume at this point, if the Mets didn't
win it after being up a game in front of
the eighth inning, that they're probably just going to get
knocked out tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I've told you, I have already accepted that they're going
to lose tomorrow, so when it happens, that's what happened.
I accept that the worst possible outcome for my teams
is always the most likely, So I'm okay with that.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
I'm also okay if you want my My wife is
a therapist and she's taking on new clients, so if
you are feeling like you might need a session after
your Mets get bounced, she's available.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Just wanted to throw that out there as a nice guy,
and at a discount rate, right, Yeah, okay, Yeah, Well
we'll make something happen. Yeah, I mean if.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
We hadn't taken that workplace violence training, I mean he
gave you the operative phrase of getting knocked out.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
No, I'll take a couple of free sessions and I'll
see where we're at after that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Sure, percent, there we go. Thank you, Brian fed Let's
talk it out. But look, speaking of the Mets, okay,
huh in. Since Major League Baseball has gone to this
new format of hey first round series, best of three
double bos, it's awesome. Every single team that's won the
(28:04):
first game has won the series. Only once has a
series gone to three games, but team that won Game
one still won the series. What do we get the
Mets and the Brewers tomorrow after the Brewers win tonight?
Tell me I'm still gonna be saying the same thing
tomorrow night, or are we gonna be saying? And for
the first time ever a series has been won by
(28:26):
a team that didn't win the first game. It's amazing, amazing,
you know, and now so totally Mets. Here's what I
here's it. This is where like my life like like
kind of goes on hundred eighty degrees because I'm gonna
get to you, why the Mets, Why the Mets? You
really screwed this game up in the eighth inning? Is that?
You know? Last year for the championship for softball, and
(28:48):
and we were my team. We were in the championship
and it was a best of three and we lost
the first game. We got killed. The first game. I
couldn't I couldn't even coach because I was due to
the show.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
So we had to win two out.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Of three on the weekend, and we won both games
on the weekend and won the championship.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I know, it was surprise. There was surprise.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I was like, eh, And at the ceremony at the end,
the guy who gave out the trophies and stuff and
everything said, you know, eighty percent of the time a
team that wins the first game of a three game
series goes on to win the championship.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
But not this time.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
And I'm like, oh, wow, man, eighty percent of the time.
Look at the odds that we bucked to make that happen.
And all I'm doing thing is about that right now,
going yeah, when the Mets lose tomorrow, it's gonna be Yeah,
here the Brewers one of the twenty percent that makes
that happen. I really, I'm not gonna think about that
now without thinking about this. I'm sorry, buddy, Buddy, I'll
(29:41):
tell you well.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
You know, and the look you can blame me, I
mean you can.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Everything.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Fine, went winning, we were winning three to two, and
you come on the air beginning show and go it
is right now, we're gonna get all sweeps and then
two home runs in the game is over. So it's
your fault. Really, I'll blame you.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
I mean, not the fact that he left the ball
up in the zone.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
No, or that the manager decided, hey, for the fourth
time in five days, let's trot him out there.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
They were sitting up there.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
He's had a good run.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Or you know, after Churio hit the home run, he
didn't run to the bullpen because what do we see
in every other game?
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Damn it, I can't get out of the duck out.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Fast enough to go to the bend. I mean, were
another arm ian. Look at what Baltimore did. I was
waiting for Jim Palmer to come down from the broadcast
to move. They went through so many arms today it
is underwear.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I'm gonna throw in my underwear, just like those jockey
ads from the Lone.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Mom was a huge fan. Jim Palmer has always had
a special place.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
But mom, sorry, your mom's got those cutouts from the
magazines from like nineteen eighty two, Jim Palmer up on
the wall and Ingelbern humpered egg baby. Those are the
two oh okay, spanning the the agent.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Jim Palmer was.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Like six nine, one hundred and seventy pounds like that
was Jim Palmer, all right.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
So he was orange, just like the Orange logo.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
So the the here's how you know, I'll tell you
how the Mets screwed up tonight. And look it's a
big part of how The biggest thing that happens in
the playoffs to any major league team is how managers
mismanage the bullpen. Right. It's a really fine art and
it's not easy. But these are managers of Major League Baseball.
I'm not asking someone who you know works in a
(31:22):
bank to come in and run a bullpen, right, this
is what you get paid for. And still in the playoffs,
the bullpen situation gets mismanaged. Now We've talked a lot
of the last couple of nights, and we're gonna do
it throughout the playoffs about how hey, managers go to
the bullpen. They default to the bullpen too early. And
when you do that in the playoffs, at bats are
always more of a grind. It's not like the regular season.
(31:45):
And and you're gonna and you keep going to the
bullpen like you do during the regular season, You're gonna
find the guy who it's not his night. Right. The
Mets found film Matt and tonight wasn't his night. But
this is this is how you know the Mets screw
things up, because what did I tell you from the beginning,
how surprised was bottom of the eighth inning? Everything is
going crazy in Milwaukee. Top of the order is coming
up for the Brewers, and Edwin Diaz is not on
(32:08):
the mound. Like this is as high a leverage situation
as you could possibly get. Here's the top of the
order with a guy that's hit home run already, and
you know this is all we're saving for the three, four,
five top of the order coming up for the Brewers. Right,
this is where Diaz needs to be in the game.
And it doesn't matter that he you know, he blew
the game a couple of he's your closer, right, it's narco,
(32:29):
It's it's intimidation, it's a factor. It's a belief the
Mets had, we're gonna get this done. And the guy
throws one hundred miles an hour, right, So di Az
needs to be in the game. But here's how you
know that, no matter how you dress this up, the
Mets screwed it up because I could say, well, you
went to the wrong guy in the bullpen. You should
have let Ryan stan It continue to pitch because he
(32:51):
was lights out in the seventh inning through eleven pitches,
he was throwing ninety eight to ninety nine and the
Brewers had no chance. Right, all of these different things
I could say, but instead, I'm just gonna say this.
The Mets had a lead in the eighth inning of
a playoff game that was going to clinch their way
to the next round of the playoffs. They had a
lead in the eighth inning, and your best pitcher doesn't
(33:11):
get in the game. That's the end of it right there.
They had a lead in the eighth inning, and your
best pitcher never gets in the game. Like that's Edwin
Diaz has to be in that game. He needed to
be to start the eighth inning, but he needs to
be in that game when you need you need six outs,
and he never got in. And that's no matter how
you want to slice it up about strategies and different things.
(33:33):
That was a big mistake. And that's look Met's gonna
met right waiting for it to It was not trending
well for them. They didn't get a hit with runners
in scoring position, and and and show me a team
that continues to not hit and lets a team hang around.
I'll show you a team that loses a game and
the Mets continue to have runners in scoring position, couldn't
get any hits to bring him in. Even if they
had runners in scoring position with nobody out, they couldn't
(33:53):
bring anybody in, and it happened in the middle innings
when the bullpen bruise bullpen was on the ropes. As
a result, the Brewers are two home runs in the
eighth inning off of Phil Matten and Diaz doesn't get
in the game, and the Mets lose. Like this is
a game that I've seen one hundred thousand times with
the Mets. Hey, this is where they threw up on
themselves and they needed to make the different decisions better decisions,
(34:13):
and they didn't. But everything you could say, it could
come back to they had the lead in the eighth
inning of a knockout game in the playoffs, and Edwin
Diaz didn't get in.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
But you saw the same thing on the other side, right,
the Brewers actually get away with it.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
They go to the pen early.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Once again things have settled down, opportunity to stretch a
little bit and you go to the pen. So we'll
see if that backfires as we get to Game three.
See positivity on the other side, man, And you can't
go two for one hundred with runners in scoring position again,
can you?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:44):
No, I think nothing else. I think they can, Buddy,
I think there's something else.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Body some damn body armor and get up there and
take one for the team.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Let's go exit out bouta fresca exit swollen down. The

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best Friend
Mike Harmon. Jason, can I tell you something? Yes, Alex
Tyscher go ahead. Number one, you opened bananas the wrong way.
You just talked about that, and no subscribers said don't
eat that. Bryan Finley said he would definitely listen. Yeah,
so we should do about a pod called don't Eat That?
And every podcast is about one food. Tysher and I
(35:44):
just had a big disagreement about the quote right way
to open a banana? Tyshert says, oh, opening from the
top is the wrong way it is? I go, how
is that the wrong way? Because it's simple. No, don't
eat a strawberry from the opposite side of You don't know.
Am I losing any sort of nutrients or anything by
opening a banana the way that you usually open it?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
You just look look correct what I mean? I look
backwards or forwards? Sometimes I walk backwards.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Stop? What is it?
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Maut this?
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Then?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Why does any monkey open it the wrong way?
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Then?
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Because we have our opposable thumbs are better. It's no,
I think the easiest way to open it at open
a banana, we didn't feel it. Do you know where
that black spot always stays with the banana?
Speaker 3 (36:26):
I think we have more decks. Terror.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Just remember every time you open a banana, that bottom
spot has the black spot right. Yeah, if you open
it the other way, you get rid of it right away.
But if I open it the one way, I could
be eating it very quickly. Jason, Sometimes you just live
a bad riot. That's all right. You can just walk
the wrong way, wrong ways to open it, but there's
always u turns for people like you. It's okay.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
Coming up next on how to eat that that is
not that is okay, you can eat It's okay.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
The Jason Smiths with Mike Carmen live from the tirec
dot Com Studies. All right, bananas, we be one of
our first shows for the don That podcast. Bat than bananas. Okay,
after that then candalope, then we'll get to absolutely Okay,
very good. Don't get me on sour sop.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Sa.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I'm not gonna put you said it with sour soap
when you first wouldring that. Well, now I just I
was corrected at sop. Oh okaycause why would I eat
something that has soap in it?
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Yeah, that's why chop does sound exciting. Some folks when
they have cilantro, they say it tastes like soap. Right,
we clean up that.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Sour sop, right, so just wipe that up, give me
a thing, wipe that up. Uh, as we get in
the job. The final day of the first round of
the MLB Playoffs, tonight, we watched the Padres eliminate the
Atlanta Braves. Manny Machado and the Padres head into this
weekend against the Dodgers, and and for a bit of
(37:39):
positivity here, just for a couple.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Of seconds, let's get you.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
It's tough because these are guys that really you know
when they come to it. They've been stars for a
long time, but they've been yeah butt, Yeah, these guys
are big stars. Yeah butt. But both Manny Machado and
Bryce Harper have both really matured a lot over the
past few years, and Manny Machado has put away all
the hustle problems and the questions about him and his
(38:05):
behavior since he signed with San Diego. Bryce Harper with
Philadelphia has become a great teammate and doesn't get thrown
out of games all the time and lose his temper.
He's a guy that plays the game the right way
and respects the game. Both of these guys, as great
as they were for a long time, had some yeah
but personality things, and a lot of it sometimes can
(38:26):
just be maturity. Hey, yeah, well, people pay a lot
of attention to me for a long time. I don't
need to mature. People do what I say all the time.
But everybody gets to a point where, hey, you become
more self aware. Sometimes you do it when you're twenty two,
sometimes when you're twenty five, sometimes and you're thirty. But
the last few years and when you haven't noticed. With
Machado and Bryce Harper, they have done that. Machado is there,
(38:49):
Roberto Clementi Man of the Year nominee for the Padres,
for everything he's does for the team and in the community.
Bryce Harper does a lot of great things. His teammates
love him. The teammates love both of these guys, and
I want to give both of them credit because they
have changed from being superstars.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
A boy, they rubbed me the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
They don't do this, they don't do that, and now
they are guys that play the game the right way
and they are just simply superstars. And it's great to
see that they don't have any of that tagged with
them anymore than now. Hey, yeah they're a yeah butt guy.
No no, no, no more yeah butts for either Bryce
Harper or Manua Chada.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Community leadership. Both came onto the stage when they were
what twenty years old, right, and it had already been
widely evaluated, acknowledged and publicized well before then, and we
see it. So sometimes you get really good results from
that and all positivity. And look at the Empire Lebron James, right,
(39:42):
he's there with his son Media day, all that fun stuff,
and then you have plenty of other stories and those
are the ones we normally concentrate on. So you know,
if it bleeds, it leads kind of thing. You know,
we get all the documentaries about guys going broke or indiscretions.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Et cetera.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
So yeah, a little bit of positive. I mean, Machado,
you know on the field smiling from year to year
is the beat La Chance rained down after their win tonight.
Harper with all he does whenever there's you know, something
that he can lend his name and and money and
clout to to get people on a you know, to
to commit to a cause. He's been one to do that.
(40:22):
And I think at this point in his career kind
of laughs at the attention and some of the you know,
go back to clown questions, bro all of that fun stuff.
Because there's also the hey showy Otani's the face of
the league. I don't have to be that guy anymore.
I could just go and play baseball.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Yeah no, no, that's great. It's great. But also people
still pay attention to you even though you're not the
number one. Started to learn that he still people will
still pay attention to you. But you just not the
number one stares. Understand that it's okay.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Get to live out and just play baseball. Hey, are
you winning tomorrow or are you gonna be all salty
while we're doing Thursday.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Night Salted Caramel.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
