Greetings and welcome inside. Happy Wednesday Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harten and.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I can't hear you Randy Newman singing.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
You Aaron Rodgers, whoa we come on? Man?
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Uh Royal, you got everybody running out of the back.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Let's just I know, let's just everybody out. Let's just
be you harming you me Frostburg and Ty Shirt.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Let's just be four little fun.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
We're all right now.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
It's too nothing in the sixth inning, patently untrue. It's
too nothing in the sixth inning. That's what's happened. That's
where the game is right now. The Dodgers are winning.
It is to nothing in the people are turning. So
what is the game over? Did I miss it? Did
I miss something? What about the helmet?
Speaker 4 (01:43):
When you hear Newman, I mean it means.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well, well, now it might be because Keith a Hernandez
has just homered off of Reed Garrett make it for nothing, Dodgers.
I shouldn't have said anything. I just said, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's over. That would have been a fly out to
left field. Uh, Keith k Hernandez, dust clears the wall
and left field for nothing. Now Dodgers with the lead
over the Mets in the top of the sixth inning.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
It's another perfect day.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
This has been. This has been everything the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
In the games of New York.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Uh, this could be. This is everything the Dodgers could
have ordered in this game. So far, you get four
shutout innings from Walker Bueller, who was in and out
of trouble the Mets have chances to make him pay,
they can't.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
They get two runs on the board in the second
because the Mets can't field the ball, and now a
two run homer by Keith Hernandez for a four to
nothing lead, Like this is this is everything. The Dodgers
drew it up. And I'm telling you what, watching the
Mets just chase Walker Buehller's curve and and his sweeper
out of the strike zone tonight, no matter when they
needed to they did. Seeing him do that, I'm sinking
(02:48):
tomorrow going, boy, what they're gonna be doing to Yamamoto.
Ain't gonna be swinging it down those pitches in the
dirt every single throw. It's gonna be. It's gonna be
something tomorrow night. I'm not feeling great right now. Not great,
not great.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Well, I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
They got a Mets hitters chasing and then he was
able to freeze him with a couple of backward ks
mixed there in six strikeouts in his four innings there. Uh,
And the way they were talking on the broadcast, you
would have thought it was the seventh. It's like, all
right here he is this cruise. I'm like it's the
fourth inning, man, Like I get it. It's a great
start comparatively to what we've seen from.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
From Bueller and some of his others.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
But it's like wow, It's like he'd barely getting into
this back end of the lineup for the second time,
and it was like this herculean he's throwing a complete game.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
But he did the job.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Now I have to ask you, how much do you
think Garrett was rattled after he got called for a balk? Yeah,
got the home run to mister October And that's a.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Bit of a dicey balk, you know, I I he
came to a stop. It was, it was very momentary.
He did come to a stop. But you know still,
you got two outs, man, You got two outs and
you got two strikes.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
You gotta find a way to get out of.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Hey, are you guys really surprised? I mean I sent
you a picture of his game outfit.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Are you shocked at a way?
Speaker 6 (04:03):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:03):
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
It was a great It was a great pre game outfit.
It was gress game outfit.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yes, is upset that his outfit was bettery?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
How come you?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
How come he's wearing purple? I thought, I I'm the
guy that wears purple. Grimerson Steve Cohen's office, going, I
thought we had a ban on people wearing purple here
at City Field, and you let this guy come in.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Here wear purple. What the hell is wrong with you? Cohen?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And then Grimas just kind of waddles out.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Uh well, look to the primary colors will become purple
after this this postseason.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
What it's all said and done.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
They made Ney purple uniforms tomorrow, and I can wear
these black ones anymore. Uh No. Look, this is when
we talked last night and I said, look, this is
an absolute must have win for the Mets. With Walker
Buehler going and and facing the prospect of their two
best pictures back to back, they need to win this game.
And Bueller has not been good. Right, He gets six
runs in his last start, and it's all it was
(04:54):
alternating good at bats, bad at bats, Like he he's
behind in the count and he's throwing a sweeper that's
eight feet off the plate and the Mets are chasing it,
and I'm saying, wow, I look it was it was
difficult to watch because I'm saying, Okay, we have chances,
We're gonna nope, Nope, we're gonna We're gonna find a
way to let them off. Look, they left run, two
men on bases loaded, Lindor strikes out like they've had
(05:16):
their chances. This is this is a dream for the Dodgers.
What's the perfect scenario for you? Being realistic, Dave Roberts
would say, Walker Buehler goes four innings, fourish innings, we
score four three four runs, and we're winning for nothing
in the in the sixth seventh inning, and and that's
what's going on right now.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Ye perfect situation. I don't even think it would have
been that aggressive. I think it would have been we're
tied after four, whether you're up or not. I mean,
if you got four four from Walker Bueller where you
drew even and we talked about it yesterday, like thought,
I thought, you know, the Mets would if they were
gonna get him, they were gonna jump on him early.
And he was able to pitch out of a couple
of things. Your guy made a bunch of pitches. He
(05:56):
just couldn't field the ball.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Oh his his pitching was equal to his fielding, like
I mean, And that's the most frustrating part is the
Dodgers get the first two runs because the Mets misplay
not one, not two, but three balls in the inning.
And it was So that's the hardest thing as a
fan in all of sports for me to watch, right
when when when my team makes errors both mentally and
physically on the field. When when I when I watched
(06:20):
the Mets, when when you make errors like that, that's
the stuff that just drives me crazy because that you're
you're handing the game to the other team. I mean,
three misplays in the second inning, and the worst one,
honestly was Alvarez. Who's got to make Who needs to sit?
He needs to sit the bench. He is killing them tonight.
The one guy hit, he's lost at the plate. I mean,
(06:42):
he swings in a pitch that's two and zero up
at his neck when it's gonna be three. How the
hell are you swinging at that pitch?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
What they say is five of his last thirty three
or thirty.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, he's he's absolutely lost, right And and and when
that happens and you're not hitting, you try to make
up for it defensively. And what did you do in
the second inning on that swinging bunt? Go to first
and get the out? You got the out. It's a
dicey play to throw it down to second. And not
only does he throw, it's a it's a throw to
the side. It's and and and the and the Mets
have to jets and the Mets have to get there
(07:11):
to cover it. And it's Devonte Adams fault and and
you know, and the glaciers has to get there to
cover it and he can't. And instead of one out
runner at second, it's nobody out first and second, and
then then the bases are loaded when Severino can handle
a comebacker that should have been a double play, and
it was just it was it was play after play
that was so incredibly frustrating that you know, look, kik
Andre is heading home.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Run. Okay, it's all run, you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
But just watching them give the gift the Dodgers those
first two runs, that was that was the toughest thing
to watch tonight.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Yeah, I mean the play by Alvarez absolutely monstrous. And
then seven Reno not being able to get into a
get it, get himself into a fielding position coming through
his his motion. Uh, it costs him terribly because you
watched out how it affected him. You know, the next
sequence of pitching. So all of that to say some
of the fundamentals, because we talked about this Monday night,
(07:59):
watching that horrid Monday night football game with all of
the penalties, A lot of them are are just suspect,
uh suspect from the officiating side. But the ones that
are just the all right, you lined up off the
line of scrimmage right, or you you pre snap penalties.
All of those things that are just mental and basic
(08:20):
are all the same things your Mets did tonight.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, look, this is a game the Mets had to
have id. But look and it's still look at Mets
games don't start till.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
The eighth thing.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I get that we're almost there, but I mean, they
lose this game, boy, or the Dodgers and the driver's
seat after all, after all the great vibes, splitting the
first two games, winning the second game the way they did,
and they come in and throw up on themselves in
the second inning.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
By they can't.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I mean, when the Mets were feeling good in this series, Hey,
they come to the first game.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
What happens.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Single walks the bases load in the first inning of
Game one, and that's the game. They can't field the
ball in the second inning, and and that and that's
the game, right and and they can't hit Walker bueller
because they're a combination of being too aggressive and not
aggressive enough. And it's just this is a perfect conference
of circumstances for the Dodgers. I mean, I know, the
Mets way, they've had a lot of escape so far. Look,
(09:08):
nobody knows better than I do. But been living and
dying with it every day for the last two and
a half weeks. But at some point, you know that
the bottom of that miracle sock drawer, Uh, you gotta
do laundry, and no more miracle socks here. I use
the last one. And when Vento's hit the grand Slab,
I use the left. So at some point, yeah, yeah,
leave it over the door. Uh, you know, you know
(09:28):
we have to you know, we have to talk about that.
That that's a that's a topic that's near you.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
But no, no, no, all right, at some point, at some.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Point that's going to happen. And at some point, uh,
the better better play is going to win and the
miracle is not. And now the Dodgers, right now, it
looks like they're headed into Game four up two games
to one. They have the two starters they want going right.
Of the first three games of the series, two of
them were guys. They were nervous as hell about the
bullpen game and Bueller tonight, and so far they're going
(09:59):
to get through this more. It's likely with the two
games to one lead and now they're looking at saying,
we want to end it here. We don't want to
go back to La and have to worry about what
do we see and a bullpen game in game six
and who knows in game seven, Like the Dodgers have
to be thinking we need to end this series in
New York. We need to see Yamamoto and then we
need to see Flaherty with another big game like that's
that's the mentality the Dodgers are going to have right now.
(10:20):
And then look and they have everything going in their
favor right now because this is a game that is
picture perfect for how they could have carved it up.
This is absolutely going there.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
With Jason, Yeah, guess where I'm from? Where are you
from the future. Yes, we're going to lose.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
And then he got two things that come out of this.
Also on the Dodgers side. One shoeo TONI still can't
hit with that with nobody on, he's zero for three.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
He didn't draw a walk.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
But and then Will Smith dropping in the batting order
where it's you know, he becomes a second leadoff man
kind of thing, you know, where you're trying to get
runners on for Tony. He actually got a hit from
the five hole. He couldn't do anything, but here he
comes up with a hit. Ye crazy, It all works
out for you Smith.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
It's one of it's you know, it's one of those
things where you know, hey, obviously there, you know, you
want to say there's a lot of baseball up at
the same time, it's not.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
So what's the Ogi barrephrase?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
It gets late early like it get it, get it
gets late really early exter night. Suddenly it's hey, two
to one, we lose tomorrow. Like you're thinking, oh my goodness,
that could be it, right, I mean, you can only
sit back and say, hey, man, we got we got
some more miracles.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Yeh, I'm ready for a miracle.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I got some more. We got we got plenty of
we got a whole room. We haven't even been to
the second miracle room. We're still in the first miracle room. Oh, no, no,
we got tons of miracles for you're ready. Well, yeah,
I don't know, I I don't know. I mean, this
is this is not how I thought tonight would go.
This is not how I thought it would go at all.
I thought the Mets jump on Oh yeah, I thought
the Mets would jump on Bueler tonight and they would
would get up big and and it would be a
(11:53):
game in which they would pull away and win, and
then the pressure would be on the Dodgers to get
the next two games to be able to go up.
But instead it's the this is the this is one
hundred and eighty degrees away from how I thought this
game was gonna be.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Run on one out and uh he as another baseball
wizard used to say, ed farmer, as long as your
you're within a slam, you got a chance keep it
within a slam.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Oh man, I'll tell you it is.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
It is tough. It's tough, my car.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Where you can get the one swing in the bat
like just a little bit of a run. Yeah, no,
I know, psychologically, I know you're gripping. Benny has probably
been the recipient of a lot of yelling.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
No, no, no, but no Benny when when when I'm
worried Benny is in the house and I'm working, he knows,
like at this point, he knows, okay, when when Dad's
in this room, I have to I have to go
and be by myself twice.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
If the met's up.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
No, no, no, no, here's the thing. So, Benny, here's what
I did for Benny Jerks, which I right to for
my jasperg I have video of you punting a dog
over a into a ravine.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Okay, the car uh.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
But here's what I did for my dust. Okay, you know,
and I feel about working tonight and everything else in
the mets. So I set Benny up in the living room,
first time I've ever done this, and I put on
one of those nature channels where it's just like, here's
three hours of squirrels getting nuts and birds landing, you know,
and he is having the time of his life. He's
like that dude from ESPN a few years ago. He
(13:20):
is having the time of his life. Benny is having
the time. He is enraptured by the TV. He's looking
behind the TV to see if the animals are coming
out the other side. He is having a party by himself.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Because he's watching anything but the Mets right now.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Of course, he's.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Dropped his Sergio dip reference. Done name indelibly etched in
my brain. I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I'll watch the comfort food tonight, though Smith snack food.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Well, the comfort food tonight. I actually okay, I have
three kinds of popcorn ready to go.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Everything off.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I have white cheddar popcorn.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I have Cheddar cheese pop I have the mix with
the chocolate drizzled popcorn. I got all kinds of popcords. Like,
what do I want tonight? What am I gonna need?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I might need Okay, I got three kinds of popcorn
ready to go. That's what I have. That's me tonight
right now. Uh so, right now, bottom of the sixth inning,
one out, Dodgers are a four to nothing lead, but
the Mets do have two to one and one out.
Kendelita is up oseaa Iglesias, uh he is one for two.

it's a big curtain rise. Oh, it's kind of fun.
We're gonna watch curtain raiser. Dodgers have two on, two
out in the top of the seven, threatening to break
it open against Tyler McGill and the Mets. Again Dodgers
up for nothing. Mets had a great chance last inning,
but once again Dodgers escape. They get a ground ball
for a double play to end the inning, and again
(17:07):
for nothing. Dodgers over the Mets in the top of
the seventh inning. It's it's just not the Mets night.
It's just not the Mets night. And this is a
perfect night for the Dodgers. Everything they've wanted is happening,
and it really it's it's their night and it's not
our night. And you know what, I guess I could
say nights like this.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Happened, Jason, real question for you. Yeah, why would the
Mets dress for their own funeral tonight?
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
They like the black uniforms. They like the black uniforms.
Black uniforms used to be a big Friday night thing,
the Mets black uniforms Friday Night at the EDD when
we were in Chase Stadium, and they try to maneuver
it here with city Field.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Well, I don't purples the color of royalty. I don't.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I don't think Rob Manford's going to allow a uniform
change in between games.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
But they have that one that's somewhat purple ish.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
The city, Yeah, the city, Yeah, the city connect Ones.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah. Uh, they gotta do something. I mean, Grimace has
to throw the first pit. Grimace and hawk to A
have to throw the first pitch out to my boat. Strawberry, Yeah, really,
why not? Strawberry? Come on, what's what?
Speaker 4 (18:10):
What? What? What you got against Strawberry? He threw it
too good? And Imber what is it thirty six years? Right?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, come on, man, obviously obviously they can never do
it again after tonight he said the wrong with.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
That and got an inning left in his arm.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Really, Strawberry or Grimace, No, Grimace, I mean I can't.
But they made the wrong choice.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
They might be saving Grimace for tomorrow, Grimace and hawk
to A for tomorrow. Igot that that's just reeks of
desperation as opposed to confidence. Uh no, no, I think
you just bring Look Grimaces look just like it's old
times rest. I mean no, just like just like old
timer's day. Hey, it's a familiar face.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
People. The ballpark, like to see it.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
He comes out, he waves his cat. You give the
fans a thrill. That's all you need to do.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
You're just quoting a league of their own. Yeah, wave
your little hat.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Just need Grimace, that's all. I just need Grimace tomorrow. Now, okay,
let's get Grimace ate himself to death.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Oh hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
That escalated quickly.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
And now, last thing off the Dodgers in their performance,
their performance. When you're talking about the Dodgers performance, fred
none talk about their performance kind of question? Is that
a question asked me about the performance of the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
But but a lot about Freddie Freeman and uh getting
what it was taken to get his leg ready to
get out on the field. He's won for four tonight
and watching him run is painful. A couple of times
he's hit the ball and just been the hell with it,
uh and walk to go get his glove. But on
the field, boy, he's made a couple of big plays
at first base picking the ball off the ground.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yeah so yeah, he's made No, he's made some big plays.
Wow he looks good, but no, no, he's gonna limp
he's gonna limp bag. Gotta make me see that he limps.
He's making these great plays. No, no, are you doing
Tom Brady yelling thing you don't like somebody?
Speaker 5 (19:58):
That's what you do, you dismissed. Hey, listen, I look
at him yelling at people's great. He's beating your ass.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Ah, but look at him yelling when he's not having I.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Got I got a big tom Brady hote coming up
in a few minutes, don Joe, We got a big
Tom Brady coming up. But Mets get out of the gym.
Tyler McGill gets a strikeout, so for nothing, Mets coming
about seventh inning stretch. Meanwhile, Davonte Adams speaks for the
first time as a member of the Jets. The biggest
NFL story of the week gets even bigger as the
(20:30):
Jets say today they expect Devontae Adams to play on Sunday.
Part of what he talked about when he got to
talk to Jets for the first time and talk to
the media. Hey, you know, it's a crazy game. He's
happy to be here. He's ready to get started. Davante
Adams wants to be a Jet for a long long time.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
If I can change, you can change.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
We move with.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Oh, he was pumped.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I don't know that we needed the Russian interpreter because
I think everybody understood what he was saying. I don't.
I don't I think we need well.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
I mean we're a global show. That is true. We've
got trans all over them.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Yes, yeah, I mean so we want to make sure
we grab everybody with a big hug.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yes. The Kremlin very interested in what Davanta Adams.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Did you not know he was a big deal in Russia?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I didn't. I did not know that. I didn't know.
People are walking around Russian Davante Adams jerseys.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Yes, well, now there's the old packer jerseys who wears one.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
That's all he wears when he rides his horse.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
What do you think of Davanta Adams? He is like
a piece of iron. Here is Adams from today talking
about how happy.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
He is to be a jet.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
It's been a roller coaster, for sure. It's a weird.
It's a weird thing to say, you know that that
I'm happy. But you know, obviously it was time for
a change, and uh, you know, this whole thing kind
of transpired a little a little weird but it's.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
At the end of the day. I'm you know, we're
in a better place.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
I think that Raiders are in a better place as well,
and you know, everybody can kind of move on.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
So there he is.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
And he also went on to say that he hopes
to be a Jet for a long time. I don't
want to be here as a rental. I'm hoping to
work it out. He wants to stay and play with
Aaron Rodgers. All that is great to hear. I mean
that is that is awesome to hear. He's of course
he's gonna play Sunday, because what did I tell you?
I have no doubt the Jets are gonna be terrific,
But they got to be terrific now. You can't be
terrific in a month when it all comes together and
(22:24):
you're still a couple of games under five hundred, No,
you can. You have to go eight and three the
rest of the way to make the playoffs, right, to
get to ten wins.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
You need to put it together. Now.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It's got to happen.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Now it can, but it's got to happen now. But
time for the Adams administration.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
But Duvante Adams, I know him so after that. Today,
it's really fun to see how absolutely everybody hates Aaron Rodgers.
Everybody hates Aaron Now. The last couple of days has
all been Aaron Rodgers is a bad leader. Aaron Rodgers
(23:00):
throws his teammates under the bus. Aaron Rodgers. Why can't
we blame him? It's his fault. Why can't we blame
Aaron Rodgers? Why are we blaming people around him? It's like,
this is what everybody's been waiting for, been chomping at
the bit for Aaron Rodgers. Because I'm sick of the
drama the last couple of years. I'm sick of his
crazy conspiracy theory takes. I'm done. I'm just done talking
(23:22):
about him. So when the Jets stink, oh now I'm
jumping on top and I am going to jump on
top of this Jets corpse right now, and I'm going
to see brains leaking out from between people's ears because
all of this, this is Aaron Rodgers, the last couple
of days, it's his fault. We should blame him. He's
a bad teammate, he's a bad leader, he's past his prime.
All of this stuff right now, I can't say I
(23:44):
disagree with all of it, but none of this is new,
none of we saw from Aaron rodg Jared Rodgers. Aaron
Rodgers is not going to take the blame for a
lot of stuffy it ever does like all of a
sudden it's new because that Mike Williams ran the wrong route.
Git he has said that. No, probably not, but that's.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
What Aaron Rodgers does it.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Aaron Rodgers is not going to be at fault for
what happens to Aaron Rodgers. However, I'm gonna say this
because this is the absolute truth right now, and this
is what's gonna make people foam at the mouth that
can't stand Aaron Rodgers and and makes people like me
nervous about how the rest of the season is going
to go. Is that if you don't like him, and
you say he's a bad leader with the Jets, he's
a bad teammate, he's passed his prime. You want to
(24:23):
say all of these things, I'm gonna say, Okay, you
know what, can't say that yet. They're two and four,
they're into the seat, they just added DeVante Adams, they
have a lot of season in front of them. You
can't say that yet. But here's the show today. Right,
All that, right, But here's the thing. It's not like
he's played poor. It's not like he's played awful, right.
I mean, he played pretty well in the last game.
The offense looked a lot better than it did. They
(24:44):
threw for three hundred yards, they ran for one hundred
and fifty yards. It was pretty good. But I will
say this because this is what this is. This makes
everybody happy, because I can say something's gonna make everybody happy.
The rest of this season is a referendum on Aaron Rodgers.
The rest of this year, we're gonna find out if
he's a bad teammate, if he's passed his prime, if
(25:05):
he can't do it anymore. We're gonna find out. Can't
hide from it. They have everything they need, He has
everything he needs. Twenty five teams in the NFL twenty
five to twenty seven quarterbacks are saying, man, I wish
I had what he has. Garrett Wilson and Devonte Adams. Oh,
by the way, Tyler Conklin's a pretty decent tight end.
Breist Hall and Braylan Allen. A revamped offensive line that
(25:26):
is better than it was a year ago. I would
love to have these skilled position guys. We're gonna find
out because now the rest of the season is about
Aaron Rodgers. Is he still good enough? Can he do it?
The rest of this is.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
All about that.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
He can't hide, he can't say it's somebody else's fault.
They already fired one head coach, they promoted a different
guy to call and plays. They've done everything for him
to put him in a position to succeed. Everything he's
wanted he has gotten. He got his teammates. Last year,
he got whatever he wanted to have done coaching wise.
This year is done. He's gotten everything. There's nothing else
to give him. There is nothing else to give him.
(26:01):
There's nothing there. It's like, what can we do if
something happens, there is nothing else to like, Okay, I've
given you all I got. Now you gotta go do something.
Now you gotta go do it. The rest of this
season is a referendum on Aaron Rodgers and all these
things that people are saying, Oh, he's done, he's a
bad leader. We're gonna find out, like it's it's hey, hey,
all the talking that's done before a prize fight. This
guy can't do this. This guy can't do this. You
(26:22):
know what, We're gonna find out because we see you,
we see you in the ring. We are now gonna
find out. And all this talk and everything else going
on the rest of this season, the last eleven games,
the last hang give we are gonna see how it
goes and and we're gonna have our answer on Aaron
Rodgers by the end of this season. He cannot hide
from anything anymore. So lovers and haters are all gonna
get what they want. They're gonna see it unfold in
(26:43):
front of them because he can't hide from it.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
No, that's the beauty of the NFL though week to
week league, and we watch, we evaluate, we listen to
the quotes, and we react. Right, we did it when
he threw Williams under the bus immediately on Monday night.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Okay, what are we doing here? I mean, yes, he.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Did not run his red line and all of that
fun stuff, and every guy that ever played football decided, Hey,
we have to explain the red line in painstaking detail
and make sure that we don't talk about how Breye
Hall was jumping up and down, going me me.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
He was Arnold Horseshack.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Going back fifty years on telling you got you gotta
explain to Jen Xers, who Arnold Horshack? You forget about millennials, man,
I'm trying to think of other shows. I mean it's
every classroom show has the nerd that wants to screen out.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
I know the answer, shut up, not you? Okay?
Speaker 5 (27:39):
So Horsehack and all the iterations thereafter, Or think about
your own school experience. Y'all had that kid that you
didn't like because they were a know it all? That
might have been me, I don't know, but the idea
being that that you had. Nobody had the guts to
ask him in that moment. It's like, hey, yeah, well
Mike and you whatever, why.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Not breeze Hall.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
It's a thirty yard game, Aaron, and he hasn't been perfect.
The offensive line is still a great, great concern to me.
But that's it. We evaluate week to week through six weeks,
and that postgame presser, there was a lot to not like,
three winnable games for the ninth straight year, a three
game losing streak, all of which were winnable games. And
(28:24):
then when he had the opportunity to be instructive, constructive
and say, hey, we had a miscommunication, Nope, you took
that guy out back and you shoveled him to the head.
That's what you did to Mike Williams, and then immediately
he's on the trade block.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Come on, man, well look look, clearly they needed to
find a way to get Devonte Adams, and that's how
they found a way to get to VI. I mean, look,
if that's it, you know, he like, look and you
brought this guy in.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
That was your call.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
I want I want this other guy. I guess that's it.
I mean, you know, distance yourself. You know, he's dead
to me. It's like, you know, Paulie handing Ray Liota
three thousand dollars in Good Fellace.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I got to turn my back for a lifetime.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Three thousand dollars for a lifetime. That's what's happening now.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
But look, but that, but that's who Aaron Rodgers has been.
But you know, look for the flip side of it
real fast. It's not like Aaron Rodgers walked around the
last ten, twelve, fifteen years and his teammates all hate him. No, no,
I've not heard. I've not heard one teammates. He's an
awful leader, he's awful. But it's just that I hate
Aaron Rodgers. Crowd is so loud now. And here's the thing, Okay,
(29:36):
are you a little people? Yeah, well yeah, because exactly
it's it all goes into it, right, all goes into
the hopper with him, with with what he said, with
his conspiracy theory stuff, and just sicken that.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah, and the fact that he sucks.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Well, no, come on, he doesn't suck. The fact that
you've been hearing about him for three years. Like that's
what it's like with with stars and celebrities in the
United States here. You know, we're into people for a
certain amount of time. Then it's like a okay, now
we're done. Yeah, Briggs commercialize, you survive long enough to
be the bad guy, right, Like that's what it is.
But but but that's the thing, is that all that
other stuff that's just kind of here saying, oh, he's
(30:10):
a beat. No, we're gonna find out, We're gonna find
out about it. We will get the answers. I'm telling you,
the answers are going to be there.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
It was a terrible look in the moment, and we've
never had anybody come after him. Well for whatever reason.
Maybe it's true, maybe it's not, But everybody shut them out.
The only people that didn't like him were his family
or was it him all doing the non liking? Yeah,
the world may never know.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
There's a lot of non liking, but none of them
played for the Jets, so I'm okay with it. I
I'm all right, they don't play this. Uh time now
to find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
From a guy who was frantically trying to find the
Padres game on local television, it is Brian Finley, BF,
what do you got?
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Well, I thought you were going to say something like
and out to a guy who he really despise coming
off what you're talking about liking.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
But yeah, no, Brian Finley, I love you, despite the
fact that all season long it's been Jason. Your Mets
are below my podres and who's sitting on the couch
right now? And who are we watching.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
On te Well, Jason, that is why I am now
an adopted Mets fan.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Will you accept me as part of.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Your own How much money you got?
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I mean I can rub a couple.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Of niggleswiches, Yeah, I can rub a couple together body woods, Yeah,
the jug of ice cream or.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Something long sandwiches, sandwiches and ice cream sandwiches and ice.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
Cream sandwiches and ice cream. All right, all right, I'm
told that I need to go through this rapid fire,
So all right, here we go. Right now, guys, we're
watching what's going on Game three NLCS and you can
watch this on FS. One of the Dodgers are in
front foward to nothing against the Mets top of the eighth,
and the Mets they've really struggled to left a tonnement
(31:43):
on base, including three in the bottom of the third.
But as of right now, Dodgers are on their way
if they continue to play like this to taking a
two games to one lead in the series best to
seven series. They're playing this game three in New York,
there was a game winner, I Sabrina Ionescu for the
Liberty eighty to seventy seven Liberty over the links.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I we're talking WNBA.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
It's Game three of the WNBA Finals, and I'll work
it right back to you guys here on this note,
and that is Kevin Durant. When he's not trolling on
X he did tweet out quote cold blooded killer and
then added Sabrina close quote considering that she hit the
twenty eight foot three pointer to give the Liberty that
(32:26):
fifteen point comeback win. They were down fifteen points in
Game three. So as I get it back to you,
Mike Carmen and Jason Smith, I can't help but think
about you.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Jason.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
I don't even think you could reach the rim trying
to take a shot from twenty eight feet.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
But that's another story.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
What about Sorry, I can't hear you, friendly because I'm
all the way up here in the playoffs and you're
all the way in the offseason. So I really can't
hear you because I'm still all the way up here
and you're all the way down there.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I was calling in from Cancun.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
I can't hear it, crystal clear right there. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Brian Fedley, The Jason Smithzer with Mike Carmen live IRAQ
dot Com Studios coming up next. Well, Davonte Adams trade,
the Amari Cooper trade. You want to talk about a
team that says, hey, we didn't need to make a trade.
Wait what, Actually they made a trade?
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Ty Shirt Sard didn't.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I didn't allow it.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
One team says we didn't need to make any trades
and they absolutely had to that's coming up next right here.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Jason and Mike Lodd Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Jason, is Amari Cooper really a trade?
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
It is.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Time.
Speaker 2 (33:32):

Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
Jason Street.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Like two birds in the air.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
The Dodgers now lead by a touchdown. Show hailed Tony
with an upper deck three run home run off of
Tyler McGill. This ball was gone the moment it was
off his bat. It was just a question to whether
or not it was gonna stay fair near the top
of the upper deck ad city field, a three run homer.
(34:15):
Dodgers lead at seven to nothing now on the top
of the eighth inning and well on their way to
a two games to one lead in the NLCS.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
In the high way through the valley, that's some dopey,
terrible managing one out a guy who is sixteen for nineteen,
now seventeen for twenty, with runners in scoring position and
absolutely murdering the ball and there's an empty base.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
I get it. Everybody's got to move up ninety feet.
You got one out, put them on.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
It's another perfect day.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I don't know that there was anything that to help
the Mets tonight. This is just this is a perfect
day for the Dodgers. It's everything.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
They couldn't stip it Eye better Man with a really
a pressing song by the way, it is, it is
it is, But but you think, you know it's good,
kind of like when they play time of your Life
by Green Day.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
No, it's actually a very sad song about a bad breakup,
but oh it's great time of your life.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
You know it's not the mic when you're a Dodger fan.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
No, No, I mean a lot of celebration right now,
pulling all the strings and you know there there you
have it.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
And Jason, you're gonna wear these runs like it's your jockstrap. Latest.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
I'm already wearing them. Did you order another Chicken Big Mac?
Speaker 3 (35:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I may need I mean I may need Chicken Big
Max after the night is over. I may need Chicken
Big Max after this. Here's the best part. Another game tomorrow. Right,
have to wait a couple of days and say another
game tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
It's okay. Well, we're bouncing right back.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
It's going to come back for more.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Bouncing right back, you get bouncing right coming back for more.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Uh, you should have never come back. Uh.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
It's a lot more in this game coming up in
a few minutes. Again, Dodger's about to take a two
games to one lead in the NLCS. But after all
the big trades the last couple of days. So a
wide receiver go to the Jets, wide receiver go to
the Bills. No wide receivers to the Kansas City Chiefs,
who are now running with Carlos Carson as their number
one receiver. Patrick Mahomes today was asked about hey didn't
(36:11):
get a wide receiver. He talked about how happy he was.
He's okay with the wide receivers they have, and look
the Chiefs are five and oh happy with my guys.
I just every day I spend the first like three
four hours seeing what if my wife and my brother
said anything social media, there's pictures anywhere.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
I got a very busy day.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
It's a full day that I go to practice and
then I leave and they come back to a lot
of stuff happening. So he says he's happy with the
Kansasity Chiefs wide receivers.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Okay, what's he gonna say?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Exactly what do you expect to say?
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Now, this guy's all stak man. These guys are all terrible.
It is that terrible man. That's it terrible. They can't
catch the ball. They're all awful.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Of course, that's what he's gonna say. But you know,
the Chiefs are in on a trade. You know they
need at least one wide receiver because while it's good
enough now, and it's good enough to be five and oh,
they've played well enough, they're escaping. This is not an
offensive juggernaut team.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Mahomes has been a game manager for the last year
and a half. Right, we have enough a sample size
to know that, Right, that's kind of what they are.
They need more weapons. If you are talking about, hey,
what's the best way we can navigate through January and
February and into the super Bowl. It's just that they're
not going to pay any price right now because it's
(37:22):
still a long time away from the deadline and the
Chiefs have all kinds of time. Right, they're five and zher,
they're undefeated, they're at the top of the division. Half
of the division is terrible. The Chargers are the only
team that are halfway decent, so they know, listen, we
have time to make the right trade, and we're not
gonna have to go overboard. We're gonna find somebody who
wants out at some point, as when the losing keeps
getting more. You know, Deontay Johnson wants to stay a
(37:45):
Carolina Panther for now, but if it comes out that
he could be a chief who knows how it's gonna go.
They will absolutely get at least one. I'll say even
I'll go. I'll say they get two new wide receivers
they bring in by the deadline. But they're not gonna
be antsy. They don't need to be a proactive because
they're five and zero and everything is good. But they
will get at least one, maybe two guys at the
(38:06):
deadline to bring in because they're not gonna go with
this team and try to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Yeah, I mean, coming out of a bye week and
watching the other movement in the AFC, certainly you're gonna
look around and test the uh, test the waters. Maybe
not actively calling just yet, but reviewing depth charts and
where teams are. I mean, there's always the potential you
bring back MVS unless Aaron Rodgers commands that he shows
(38:30):
up in New York because he just got released by
the Bills with their acquisition of Amari Cooper. So you know,
there's still gonna be movement. Still plenty of guys who
are disgruntled and teams that are already recognizing, hey, if
we can get a mid round draft pick or conditionals
based on some of this that it's all in our
best interest to do so.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
So yeah, for the Chiefs, the roster's not nearly done.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
The other thing you forgot is Mahomes no doubt raped
attention one. Watching Travis Kelcey's new game show today as well.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Oh you know I watched that today. Was it was good?
It was How do I say this? The Travis No,
the Travis Kelcey Game Show was. Boy, how do I
explain that? How do expec the.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Travis was a celebrity.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
We've ever heard of anything like his play of recent
It probably sucked.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I could have used more Nicki Glazer. That's one hundred percent,
can my way more Nicky Glazer? You talking about over
exposed very fast?
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (39:31):
It was, it was.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
It was something that was on TV I'll say that
that's okay good. Coming up next, more reaction from the
last big twenty four hours in the NFL. This is

It's too nothing in the sixth inning, patently untrue. It's
too nothing in the sixth inning. That's what's happened. That's
where the game is right now. The Dodgers are winning.
It is to nothing in the people are turning. So

has just homered off of Reed Garrett make it for nothing, Dodgers.
I shouldn't have said anything. I just said, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's over. That would have been a fly out to
left field. Uh, Keith k Hernandez, dust clears the wall
and left field for nothing. Now Dodgers with the lead
over the Mets in the top of the sixth inning.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
It's another perfect day.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
This has been. This has been everything the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
In the games of New York.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Uh, this could be. This is everything the Dodgers could
have ordered in this game. So far, you get four
shutout innings from Walker Bueller, who was in and out
of trouble the Mets have chances to make him pay,
they can't.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
They get two runs on the board in the second
because the Mets can't field the ball, and now a
two run homer by Keith Hernandez for a four to
nothing lead, Like this is this is everything. The Dodgers
drew it up. And I'm telling you what, watching the
Mets just chase Walker Buehller's curve and and his sweeper
out of the strike zone tonight, no matter when they
needed to they did. Seeing him do that, I'm sinking
(02:48):
tomorrow going, boy, what they're gonna be doing to Yamamoto.
Ain't gonna be swinging it down those pitches in the
dirt every single throw. It's gonna be. It's gonna be
something tomorrow night. I'm not feeling great right now. Not great,
not great.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Well, I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
They got a Mets hitters chasing and then he was
able to freeze him with a couple of backward ks
mixed there in six strikeouts in his four innings there. Uh,
And the way they were talking on the broadcast, you
would have thought it was the seventh. It's like, all
right here he is this cruise. I'm like it's the
fourth inning, man, Like I get it. It's a great
start comparatively to what we've seen from.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
From Bueller and some of his others.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
But it's like wow, It's like he'd barely getting into
this back end of the lineup for the second time,
and it was like this herculean he's throwing a complete game.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
But he did the job.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Now I have to ask you, how much do you
think Garrett was rattled after he got called for a balk? Yeah,
got the home run to mister October And that's a.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Bit of a dicey balk, you know, I I he
came to a stop. It was, it was very momentary.
He did come to a stop. But you know still,
you got two outs, man, You got two outs and
you got two strikes.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
You gotta find a way to get out of.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Hey, are you guys really surprised? I mean I sent
you a picture of his game outfit.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Are you shocked at a way?
Speaker 6 (04:03):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:03):
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
It was a great It was a great pre game outfit.
It was gress game outfit.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yes, is upset that his outfit was bettery?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
How come you?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
How come he's wearing purple? I thought, I I'm the
guy that wears purple. Grimerson Steve Cohen's office, going, I
thought we had a ban on people wearing purple here
at City Field, and you let this guy come in.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Here wear purple. What the hell is wrong with you? Cohen?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And then Grimas just kind of waddles out.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Uh well, look to the primary colors will become purple
after this this postseason.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
What it's all said and done.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
They made Ney purple uniforms tomorrow, and I can wear
these black ones anymore. Uh No. Look, this is when
we talked last night and I said, look, this is
an absolute must have win for the Mets. With Walker
Buehler going and and facing the prospect of their two
best pictures back to back, they need to win this game.
And Bueller has not been good. Right, He gets six
runs in his last start, and it's all it was
(04:54):
alternating good at bats, bad at bats, Like he he's
behind in the count and he's throwing a sweeper that's
eight feet off the plate and the Mets are chasing it,
and I'm saying, wow, I look it was it was
difficult to watch because I'm saying, Okay, we have chances,
We're gonna nope, Nope, we're gonna We're gonna find a
way to let them off. Look, they left run, two
men on bases loaded, Lindor strikes out like they've had
(05:16):
their chances. This is this is a dream for the Dodgers.
What's the perfect scenario for you? Being realistic, Dave Roberts
would say, Walker Buehler goes four innings, fourish innings, we
score four three four runs, and we're winning for nothing
in the in the sixth seventh inning, and and that's
what's going on right now.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Ye perfect situation. I don't even think it would have
been that aggressive. I think it would have been we're
tied after four, whether you're up or not. I mean,
if you got four four from Walker Bueller where you
drew even and we talked about it yesterday, like thought,
I thought, you know, the Mets would if they were
gonna get him, they were gonna jump on him early.
And he was able to pitch out of a couple
of things. Your guy made a bunch of pitches. He
(05:56):
just couldn't field the ball.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Oh his his pitching was equal to his fielding, like
I mean, And that's the most frustrating part is the
Dodgers get the first two runs because the Mets misplay
not one, not two, but three balls in the inning.
And it was So that's the hardest thing as a
fan in all of sports for me to watch, right
when when when my team makes errors both mentally and
physically on the field. When when I when I watched
(06:20):
the Mets, when when you make errors like that, that's
the stuff that just drives me crazy because that you're
you're handing the game to the other team. I mean,
three misplays in the second inning, and the worst one,
honestly was Alvarez. Who's got to make Who needs to sit?
He needs to sit the bench. He is killing them tonight.
The one guy hit, he's lost at the plate. I mean,
(06:42):
he swings in a pitch that's two and zero up
at his neck when it's gonna be three. How the
hell are you swinging at that pitch?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
What they say is five of his last thirty three
or thirty.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, he's he's absolutely lost, right And and and when
that happens and you're not hitting, you try to make
up for it defensively. And what did you do in
the second inning on that swinging bunt? Go to first
and get the out? You got the out. It's a
dicey play to throw it down to second. And not
only does he throw, it's a it's a throw to
the side. It's and and and the and the Mets
have to jets and the Mets have to get there
(07:11):
to cover it. And it's Devonte Adams fault and and
you know, and the glaciers has to get there to
cover it and he can't. And instead of one out
runner at second, it's nobody out first and second, and
then then the bases are loaded when Severino can handle
a comebacker that should have been a double play, and
it was just it was it was play after play
that was so incredibly frustrating that you know, look, kik
Andre is heading home.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Run. Okay, it's all run, you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
But just watching them give the gift the Dodgers those
first two runs, that was that was the toughest thing
to watch tonight.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Yeah, I mean the play by Alvarez absolutely monstrous. And
then seven Reno not being able to get into a
get it, get himself into a fielding position coming through
his his motion. Uh, it costs him terribly because you
watched out how it affected him. You know, the next
sequence of pitching. So all of that to say some
of the fundamentals, because we talked about this Monday night,
(07:59):
watching that horrid Monday night football game with all of
the penalties, A lot of them are are just suspect,
uh suspect from the officiating side. But the ones that
are just the all right, you lined up off the
line of scrimmage right, or you you pre snap penalties.
All of those things that are just mental and basic
(08:20):
are all the same things your Mets did tonight.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, look, this is a game the Mets had to
have id. But look and it's still look at Mets
games don't start till.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
The eighth thing.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I get that we're almost there, but I mean, they
lose this game, boy, or the Dodgers and the driver's
seat after all, after all the great vibes, splitting the
first two games, winning the second game the way they did,
and they come in and throw up on themselves in
the second inning.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
By they can't.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I mean, when the Mets were feeling good in this series, Hey,
they come to the first game.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
What happens.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Single walks the bases load in the first inning of
Game one, and that's the game. They can't field the
ball in the second inning, and and that and that's
the game, right and and they can't hit Walker bueller
because they're a combination of being too aggressive and not
aggressive enough. And it's just this is a perfect conference
of circumstances for the Dodgers. I mean, I know, the
Mets way, they've had a lot of escape so far. Look,
(09:08):
nobody knows better than I do. But been living and
dying with it every day for the last two and
a half weeks. But at some point, you know that
the bottom of that miracle sock drawer, Uh, you gotta
do laundry, and no more miracle socks here. I use
the last one. And when Vento's hit the grand Slab,
I use the left. So at some point, yeah, yeah,
leave it over the door. Uh, you know, you know
(09:28):
we have to you know, we have to talk about that.
That that's a that's a topic that's near you.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
But no, no, no, all right, at some point, at some.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Point that's going to happen. And at some point, uh,
the better better play is going to win and the
miracle is not. And now the Dodgers, right now, it
looks like they're headed into Game four up two games
to one. They have the two starters they want going right.
Of the first three games of the series, two of
them were guys. They were nervous as hell about the
bullpen game and Bueller tonight, and so far they're going
(09:59):
to get through this more. It's likely with the two
games to one lead and now they're looking at saying,
we want to end it here. We don't want to
go back to La and have to worry about what
do we see and a bullpen game in game six
and who knows in game seven, Like the Dodgers have
to be thinking we need to end this series in
New York. We need to see Yamamoto and then we
need to see Flaherty with another big game like that's
that's the mentality the Dodgers are going to have right now.
(10:20):
And then look and they have everything going in their
favor right now because this is a game that is
picture perfect for how they could have carved it up.
This is absolutely going there.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
With Jason, Yeah, guess where I'm from? Where are you
from the future. Yes, we're going to lose.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
And then he got two things that come out of this.
Also on the Dodgers side. One shoeo TONI still can't
hit with that with nobody on, he's zero for three.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
He didn't draw a walk.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
But and then Will Smith dropping in the batting order
where it's you know, he becomes a second leadoff man
kind of thing, you know, where you're trying to get
runners on for Tony. He actually got a hit from
the five hole. He couldn't do anything, but here he
comes up with a hit. Ye crazy, It all works
out for you Smith.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
It's one of it's you know, it's one of those
things where you know, hey, obviously there, you know, you
want to say there's a lot of baseball up at
the same time, it's not.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
So what's the Ogi barrephrase?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
It gets late early like it get it, get it
gets late really early exter night. Suddenly it's hey, two
to one, we lose tomorrow. Like you're thinking, oh my goodness,
that could be it, right, I mean, you can only
sit back and say, hey, man, we got we got
some more miracles.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Yeh, I'm ready for a miracle.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I got some more. We got we got plenty of
we got a whole room. We haven't even been to
the second miracle room. We're still in the first miracle room. Oh, no, no,
we got tons of miracles for you're ready. Well, yeah,
I don't know, I I don't know. I mean, this
is this is not how I thought tonight would go.
This is not how I thought it would go at all.
I thought the Mets jump on Oh yeah, I thought
the Mets would jump on Bueler tonight and they would
would get up big and and it would be a
(11:53):
game in which they would pull away and win, and
then the pressure would be on the Dodgers to get
the next two games to be able to go up.
But instead it's the this is the this is one
hundred and eighty degrees away from how I thought this
game was gonna be.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Run on one out and uh he as another baseball
wizard used to say, ed farmer, as long as your
you're within a slam, you got a chance keep it
within a slam.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Oh man, I'll tell you it is.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
It is tough. It's tough, my car.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Where you can get the one swing in the bat
like just a little bit of a run. Yeah, no,
I know, psychologically, I know you're gripping. Benny has probably
been the recipient of a lot of yelling.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
No, no, no, but no Benny when when when I'm
worried Benny is in the house and I'm working, he knows,
like at this point, he knows, okay, when when Dad's
in this room, I have to I have to go
and be by myself twice.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
If the met's up.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
No, no, no, no, here's the thing. So, Benny, here's what
I did for Benny Jerks, which I right to for
my jasperg I have video of you punting a dog
over a into a ravine.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Okay, the car uh.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
But here's what I did for my dust. Okay, you know,
and I feel about working tonight and everything else in
the mets. So I set Benny up in the living room,
first time I've ever done this, and I put on
one of those nature channels where it's just like, here's
three hours of squirrels getting nuts and birds landing, you know,
and he is having the time of his life. He's
like that dude from ESPN a few years ago. He
(13:20):
is having the time of his life. Benny is having
the time. He is enraptured by the TV. He's looking
behind the TV to see if the animals are coming
out the other side. He is having a party by himself.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Because he's watching anything but the Mets right now.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Of course, he's.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Dropped his Sergio dip reference. Done name indelibly etched in
my brain. I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I'll watch the comfort food tonight, though Smith snack food.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Well, the comfort food tonight. I actually okay, I have
three kinds of popcorn ready to go.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Everything off.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I have white cheddar popcorn.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I have Cheddar cheese pop I have the mix with
the chocolate drizzled popcorn. I got all kinds of popcords. Like,
what do I want tonight? What am I gonna need?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I might need Okay, I got three kinds of popcorn
ready to go. That's what I have. That's me tonight
right now. Uh so, right now, bottom of the sixth inning,
one out, Dodgers are a four to nothing lead, but
the Mets do have two to one and one out.
Kendelita is up oseaa Iglesias, uh he is one for two.

Yes, it's it's only the seventh inning, Okay, little little
list to go a little bit of an intro like
this is like the uh what what?
Speaker 7 (16:37):
What?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Do we go to the opera and this is this

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, it's like a big Curtains prologue. Yeah yeah, oh wait,
it's a big curtain rise. Oh, it's kind of fun.
We're gonna watch curtain raiser. Dodgers have two on, two
out in the top of the seven, threatening to break
it open against Tyler McGill and the Mets. Again Dodgers
up for nothing. Mets had a great chance last inning,
but once again Dodgers escape. They get a ground ball
for a double play to end the inning, and again
(17:07):
for nothing. Dodgers over the Mets in the top of
the seventh inning. It's it's just not the Mets night.
It's just not the Mets night. And this is a
perfect night for the Dodgers. Everything they've wanted is happening,
and it really it's it's their night and it's not
our night. And you know what, I guess I could
say nights like this.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Happened, Jason, real question for you. Yeah, why would the
Mets dress for their own funeral tonight?
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
They like the black uniforms. They like the black uniforms.
Black uniforms used to be a big Friday night thing,
the Mets black uniforms Friday Night at the EDD when
we were in Chase Stadium, and they try to maneuver
it here with city Field.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Well, I don't purples the color of royalty. I don't.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I don't think Rob Manford's going to allow a uniform
change in between games.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
But they have that one that's somewhat purple ish.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
The city, Yeah, the city, Yeah, the city connect Ones.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah. Uh, they gotta do something. I mean, Grimace has
to throw the first pit. Grimace and hawk to A
have to throw the first pitch out to my boat. Strawberry, Yeah, really,
why not? Strawberry? Come on, what's what?
Speaker 4 (18:10):
What? What? What you got against Strawberry? He threw it
too good? And Imber what is it thirty six years? Right?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, come on, man, obviously obviously they can never do
it again after tonight he said the wrong with.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
That and got an inning left in his arm.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Really, Strawberry or Grimace, No, Grimace, I mean I can't.
But they made the wrong choice.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
They might be saving Grimace for tomorrow, Grimace and hawk
to A for tomorrow. Igot that that's just reeks of
desperation as opposed to confidence. Uh no, no, I think
you just bring Look Grimaces look just like it's old
times rest. I mean no, just like just like old
timer's day. Hey, it's a familiar face.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
People. The ballpark, like to see it.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
He comes out, he waves his cat. You give the
fans a thrill. That's all you need to do.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
You're just quoting a league of their own. Yeah, wave
your little hat.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Just need Grimace, that's all. I just need Grimace tomorrow. Now, okay,
let's get Grimace ate himself to death.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Oh hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
That escalated quickly.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
And now, last thing off the Dodgers in their performance,
their performance. When you're talking about the Dodgers performance, fred
none talk about their performance kind of question? Is that
a question asked me about the performance of the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
But but a lot about Freddie Freeman and uh getting
what it was taken to get his leg ready to
get out on the field. He's won for four tonight
and watching him run is painful. A couple of times
he's hit the ball and just been the hell with it,
uh and walk to go get his glove. But on
the field, boy, he's made a couple of big plays
at first base picking the ball off the ground.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yeah so yeah, he's made No, he's made some big plays.
Wow he looks good, but no, no, he's gonna limp
he's gonna limp bag. Gotta make me see that he limps.
He's making these great plays. No, no, are you doing
Tom Brady yelling thing you don't like somebody?
Speaker 5 (19:58):
That's what you do, you dismissed. Hey, listen, I look
at him yelling at people's great. He's beating your ass.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Ah, but look at him yelling when he's not having I.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Got I got a big tom Brady hote coming up
in a few minutes, don Joe, We got a big
Tom Brady coming up. But Mets get out of the gym.
Tyler McGill gets a strikeout, so for nothing, Mets coming
about seventh inning stretch. Meanwhile, Davonte Adams speaks for the
first time as a member of the Jets. The biggest
NFL story of the week gets even bigger as the
(20:30):
Jets say today they expect Devontae Adams to play on Sunday.
Part of what he talked about when he got to
talk to Jets for the first time and talk to
the media. Hey, you know, it's a crazy game. He's
happy to be here. He's ready to get started. Davante
Adams wants to be a Jet for a long long time.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
If I can change, you can change.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
We move with.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Oh, he was pumped.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I don't know that we needed the Russian interpreter because
I think everybody understood what he was saying. I don't.
I don't I think we need well.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
I mean we're a global show. That is true. We've
got trans all over them.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Yes, yeah, I mean so we want to make sure
we grab everybody with a big hug.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yes. The Kremlin very interested in what Davanta Adams.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Did you not know he was a big deal in Russia?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I didn't. I did not know that. I didn't know.
People are walking around Russian Davante Adams jerseys.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Yes, well, now there's the old packer jerseys who wears one.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
That's all he wears when he rides his horse.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
What do you think of Davanta Adams? He is like
a piece of iron. Here is Adams from today talking
about how happy.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
He is to be a jet.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
It's been a roller coaster, for sure. It's a weird.
It's a weird thing to say, you know that that
I'm happy. But you know, obviously it was time for
a change, and uh, you know, this whole thing kind
of transpired a little a little weird but it's.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
At the end of the day. I'm you know, we're
in a better place.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
I think that Raiders are in a better place as well,
and you know, everybody can kind of move on.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
So there he is.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
And he also went on to say that he hopes
to be a Jet for a long time. I don't
want to be here as a rental. I'm hoping to
work it out. He wants to stay and play with
Aaron Rodgers. All that is great to hear. I mean
that is that is awesome to hear. He's of course
he's gonna play Sunday, because what did I tell you?
I have no doubt the Jets are gonna be terrific,
But they got to be terrific now. You can't be
terrific in a month when it all comes together and
(22:24):
you're still a couple of games under five hundred, No,
you can. You have to go eight and three the
rest of the way to make the playoffs, right, to
get to ten wins.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
You need to put it together. Now.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It's got to happen.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Now it can, but it's got to happen now. But
time for the Adams administration.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
But Duvante Adams, I know him so after that. Today,
it's really fun to see how absolutely everybody hates Aaron Rodgers.
Everybody hates Aaron Now. The last couple of days has
all been Aaron Rodgers is a bad leader. Aaron Rodgers
(23:00):
throws his teammates under the bus. Aaron Rodgers. Why can't
we blame him? It's his fault. Why can't we blame
Aaron Rodgers? Why are we blaming people around him? It's like,
this is what everybody's been waiting for, been chomping at
the bit for Aaron Rodgers. Because I'm sick of the
drama the last couple of years. I'm sick of his
crazy conspiracy theory takes. I'm done. I'm just done talking
(23:22):
about him. So when the Jets stink, oh now I'm
jumping on top and I am going to jump on
top of this Jets corpse right now, and I'm going
to see brains leaking out from between people's ears because
all of this, this is Aaron Rodgers, the last couple
of days, it's his fault. We should blame him. He's
a bad teammate, he's a bad leader, he's past his prime.
All of this stuff right now, I can't say I
(23:44):
disagree with all of it, but none of this is new,
none of we saw from Aaron rodg Jared Rodgers. Aaron
Rodgers is not going to take the blame for a
lot of stuffy it ever does like all of a
sudden it's new because that Mike Williams ran the wrong route.
Git he has said that. No, probably not, but that's.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
What Aaron Rodgers does it.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Aaron Rodgers is not going to be at fault for
what happens to Aaron Rodgers. However, I'm gonna say this
because this is the absolute truth right now, and this
is what's gonna make people foam at the mouth that
can't stand Aaron Rodgers and and makes people like me
nervous about how the rest of the season is going
to go. Is that if you don't like him, and
you say he's a bad leader with the Jets, he's
a bad teammate, he's passed his prime. You want to
(24:23):
say all of these things, I'm gonna say, Okay, you
know what, can't say that yet. They're two and four,
they're into the seat, they just added DeVante Adams, they
have a lot of season in front of them. You
can't say that yet. But here's the show today. Right,
All that, right, But here's the thing. It's not like
he's played poor. It's not like he's played awful, right.
I mean, he played pretty well in the last game.
The offense looked a lot better than it did. They
(24:44):
threw for three hundred yards, they ran for one hundred
and fifty yards. It was pretty good. But I will
say this because this is what this is. This makes
everybody happy, because I can say something's gonna make everybody happy.
The rest of this season is a referendum on Aaron Rodgers.
The rest of this year, we're gonna find out if
he's a bad teammate, if he's passed his prime, if
(25:05):
he can't do it anymore. We're gonna find out. Can't
hide from it. They have everything they need, He has
everything he needs. Twenty five teams in the NFL twenty
five to twenty seven quarterbacks are saying, man, I wish
I had what he has. Garrett Wilson and Devonte Adams. Oh,
by the way, Tyler Conklin's a pretty decent tight end.
Breist Hall and Braylan Allen. A revamped offensive line that
(25:26):
is better than it was a year ago. I would
love to have these skilled position guys. We're gonna find
out because now the rest of the season is about
Aaron Rodgers. Is he still good enough? Can he do it?
The rest of this is.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
All about that.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
He can't hide, he can't say it's somebody else's fault.
They already fired one head coach, they promoted a different
guy to call and plays. They've done everything for him
to put him in a position to succeed. Everything he's
wanted he has gotten. He got his teammates. Last year,
he got whatever he wanted to have done coaching wise.
This year is done. He's gotten everything. There's nothing else
to give him. There is nothing else to give him.
(26:01):
There's nothing there. It's like, what can we do if
something happens, there is nothing else to like, Okay, I've
given you all I got. Now you gotta go do something.
Now you gotta go do it. The rest of this
season is a referendum on Aaron Rodgers and all these
things that people are saying, Oh, he's done, he's a
bad leader. We're gonna find out, like it's it's hey, hey,
all the talking that's done before a prize fight. This
guy can't do this. This guy can't do this. You
(26:22):
know what, We're gonna find out because we see you,
we see you in the ring. We are now gonna
find out. And all this talk and everything else going
on the rest of this season, the last eleven games,
the last hang give we are gonna see how it
goes and and we're gonna have our answer on Aaron
Rodgers by the end of this season. He cannot hide
from anything anymore. So lovers and haters are all gonna
get what they want. They're gonna see it unfold in
(26:43):
front of them because he can't hide from it.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
No, that's the beauty of the NFL though week to
week league, and we watch, we evaluate, we listen to
the quotes, and we react. Right, we did it when
he threw Williams under the bus immediately on Monday night.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Okay, what are we doing here? I mean, yes, he.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Did not run his red line and all of that
fun stuff, and every guy that ever played football decided, Hey,
we have to explain the red line in painstaking detail
and make sure that we don't talk about how Breye
Hall was jumping up and down, going me me.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
He was Arnold Horseshack.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Going back fifty years on telling you got you gotta
explain to Jen Xers, who Arnold Horshack? You forget about millennials, man,
I'm trying to think of other shows. I mean it's
every classroom show has the nerd that wants to screen out.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
I know the answer, shut up, not you? Okay?
Speaker 5 (27:39):
So Horsehack and all the iterations thereafter, Or think about
your own school experience. Y'all had that kid that you
didn't like because they were a know it all? That
might have been me, I don't know, but the idea
being that that you had. Nobody had the guts to
ask him in that moment. It's like, hey, yeah, well
Mike and you whatever, why.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Not breeze Hall.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
It's a thirty yard game, Aaron, and he hasn't been perfect.
The offensive line is still a great, great concern to me.
But that's it. We evaluate week to week through six weeks,
and that postgame presser, there was a lot to not like,
three winnable games for the ninth straight year, a three
game losing streak, all of which were winnable games. And
(28:24):
then when he had the opportunity to be instructive, constructive
and say, hey, we had a miscommunication, Nope, you took
that guy out back and you shoveled him to the head.
That's what you did to Mike Williams, and then immediately
he's on the trade block.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Come on, man, well look look, clearly they needed to
find a way to get Devonte Adams, and that's how
they found a way to get to VI. I mean, look,
if that's it, you know, he like, look and you
brought this guy in.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
That was your call.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
I want I want this other guy. I guess that's it.
I mean, you know, distance yourself. You know, he's dead
to me. It's like, you know, Paulie handing Ray Liota
three thousand dollars in Good Fellace.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I got to turn my back for a lifetime.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Three thousand dollars for a lifetime. That's what's happening now.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
But look, but that, but that's who Aaron Rodgers has been.
But you know, look for the flip side of it
real fast. It's not like Aaron Rodgers walked around the
last ten, twelve, fifteen years and his teammates all hate him. No, no,
I've not heard. I've not heard one teammates. He's an
awful leader, he's awful. But it's just that I hate
Aaron Rodgers. Crowd is so loud now. And here's the thing, Okay,
(29:36):
are you a little people? Yeah, well yeah, because exactly
it's it all goes into it, right, all goes into
the hopper with him, with with what he said, with
his conspiracy theory stuff, and just sicken that.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah, and the fact that he sucks.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Well, no, come on, he doesn't suck. The fact that
you've been hearing about him for three years. Like that's
what it's like with with stars and celebrities in the
United States here. You know, we're into people for a
certain amount of time. Then it's like a okay, now
we're done. Yeah, Briggs commercialize, you survive long enough to
be the bad guy, right, Like that's what it is.
But but but that's the thing, is that all that
other stuff that's just kind of here saying, oh, he's
(30:10):
a beat. No, we're gonna find out, We're gonna find
out about it. We will get the answers. I'm telling you,
the answers are going to be there.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
It was a terrible look in the moment, and we've
never had anybody come after him. Well for whatever reason.
Maybe it's true, maybe it's not, But everybody shut them out.
The only people that didn't like him were his family
or was it him all doing the non liking? Yeah,
the world may never know.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
There's a lot of non liking, but none of them
played for the Jets, so I'm okay with it. I
I'm all right, they don't play this. Uh time now
to find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
From a guy who was frantically trying to find the
Padres game on local television, it is Brian Finley, BF,
what do you got?
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Well, I thought you were going to say something like
and out to a guy who he really despise coming
off what you're talking about liking.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
But yeah, no, Brian Finley, I love you, despite the
fact that all season long it's been Jason. Your Mets
are below my podres and who's sitting on the couch
right now? And who are we watching.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
On te Well, Jason, that is why I am now
an adopted Mets fan.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Will you accept me as part of.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Your own How much money you got?
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I mean I can rub a couple.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Of niggleswiches, Yeah, I can rub a couple together body woods, Yeah,
the jug of ice cream or.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Something long sandwiches, sandwiches and ice cream sandwiches and ice.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
Cream sandwiches and ice cream. All right, all right, I'm
told that I need to go through this rapid fire,
So all right, here we go. Right now, guys, we're
watching what's going on Game three NLCS and you can
watch this on FS. One of the Dodgers are in
front foward to nothing against the Mets top of the eighth,
and the Mets they've really struggled to left a tonnement
(31:43):
on base, including three in the bottom of the third.
But as of right now, Dodgers are on their way
if they continue to play like this to taking a
two games to one lead in the series best to
seven series. They're playing this game three in New York,
there was a game winner, I Sabrina Ionescu for the
Liberty eighty to seventy seven Liberty over the links.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I we're talking WNBA.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
It's Game three of the WNBA Finals, and I'll work
it right back to you guys here on this note,
and that is Kevin Durant. When he's not trolling on
X he did tweet out quote cold blooded killer and
then added Sabrina close quote considering that she hit the
twenty eight foot three pointer to give the Liberty that
(32:26):
fifteen point comeback win. They were down fifteen points in
Game three. So as I get it back to you,
Mike Carmen and Jason Smith, I can't help but think
about you.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Jason.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
I don't even think you could reach the rim trying
to take a shot from twenty eight feet.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
But that's another story.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
What about Sorry, I can't hear you, friendly because I'm
all the way up here in the playoffs and you're
all the way in the offseason. So I really can't
hear you because I'm still all the way up here
and you're all the way down there.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I was calling in from Cancun.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
I can't hear it, crystal clear right there. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Brian Fedley, The Jason Smithzer with Mike Carmen live IRAQ
dot Com Studios coming up next. Well, Davonte Adams trade,
the Amari Cooper trade. You want to talk about a
team that says, hey, we didn't need to make a trade.
Wait what, Actually they made a trade?
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Ty Shirt Sard didn't.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I didn't allow it.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
One team says we didn't need to make any trades
and they absolutely had to that's coming up next right here.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Jason and Mike Lodd Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Jason, is Amari Cooper really a trade?
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
It is.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Time.

The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
Jason Street.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Like two birds in the air.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
The Dodgers now lead by a touchdown. Show hailed Tony
with an upper deck three run home run off of
Tyler McGill. This ball was gone the moment it was
off his bat. It was just a question to whether
or not it was gonna stay fair near the top
of the upper deck ad city field, a three run homer.
(34:15):
Dodgers lead at seven to nothing now on the top
of the eighth inning and well on their way to
a two games to one lead in the NLCS.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
In the high way through the valley, that's some dopey,
terrible managing one out a guy who is sixteen for nineteen,
now seventeen for twenty, with runners in scoring position and
absolutely murdering the ball and there's an empty base.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
I get it. Everybody's got to move up ninety feet.
You got one out, put them on.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
It's another perfect day.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I don't know that there was anything that to help
the Mets tonight. This is just this is a perfect
day for the Dodgers. It's everything.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
They couldn't stip it Eye better Man with a really
a pressing song by the way, it is, it is
it is, But but you think, you know it's good,
kind of like when they play time of your Life
by Green Day.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
No, it's actually a very sad song about a bad breakup,
but oh it's great time of your life.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
You know it's not the mic when you're a Dodger fan.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
No, No, I mean a lot of celebration right now,
pulling all the strings and you know there there you
have it.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
And Jason, you're gonna wear these runs like it's your jockstrap. Latest.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
I'm already wearing them. Did you order another Chicken Big Mac?
Speaker 3 (35:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I may need I mean I may need Chicken Big
Max after the night is over. I may need Chicken
Big Max after this. Here's the best part. Another game tomorrow. Right,
have to wait a couple of days and say another
game tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
It's okay. Well, we're bouncing right back.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
It's going to come back for more.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Bouncing right back, you get bouncing right coming back for more.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Uh, you should have never come back. Uh.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
It's a lot more in this game coming up in
a few minutes. Again, Dodger's about to take a two
games to one lead in the NLCS. But after all
the big trades the last couple of days. So a
wide receiver go to the Jets, wide receiver go to
the Bills. No wide receivers to the Kansas City Chiefs,
who are now running with Carlos Carson as their number
one receiver. Patrick Mahomes today was asked about hey didn't
(36:11):
get a wide receiver. He talked about how happy he was.
He's okay with the wide receivers they have, and look
the Chiefs are five and oh happy with my guys.
I just every day I spend the first like three
four hours seeing what if my wife and my brother
said anything social media, there's pictures anywhere.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
I got a very busy day.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
It's a full day that I go to practice and
then I leave and they come back to a lot
of stuff happening. So he says he's happy with the
Kansasity Chiefs wide receivers.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Okay, what's he gonna say?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Exactly what do you expect to say?
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Now, this guy's all stak man. These guys are all terrible.
It is that terrible man. That's it terrible. They can't
catch the ball. They're all awful.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Of course, that's what he's gonna say. But you know,
the Chiefs are in on a trade. You know they
need at least one wide receiver because while it's good
enough now, and it's good enough to be five and oh,
they've played well enough, they're escaping. This is not an
offensive juggernaut team.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Mahomes has been a game manager for the last year
and a half. Right, we have enough a sample size
to know that, Right, that's kind of what they are.
They need more weapons. If you are talking about, hey,
what's the best way we can navigate through January and
February and into the super Bowl. It's just that they're
not going to pay any price right now because it's
(37:22):
still a long time away from the deadline and the
Chiefs have all kinds of time. Right, they're five and zher,
they're undefeated, they're at the top of the division. Half
of the division is terrible. The Chargers are the only
team that are halfway decent, so they know, listen, we
have time to make the right trade, and we're not
gonna have to go overboard. We're gonna find somebody who
wants out at some point, as when the losing keeps
getting more. You know, Deontay Johnson wants to stay a
(37:45):
Carolina Panther for now, but if it comes out that
he could be a chief who knows how it's gonna go.
They will absolutely get at least one. I'll say even
I'll go. I'll say they get two new wide receivers
they bring in by the deadline. But they're not gonna
be antsy. They don't need to be a proactive because
they're five and zero and everything is good. But they
will get at least one, maybe two guys at the
(38:06):
deadline to bring in because they're not gonna go with
this team and try to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Yeah, I mean, coming out of a bye week and
watching the other movement in the AFC, certainly you're gonna
look around and test the uh, test the waters. Maybe
not actively calling just yet, but reviewing depth charts and
where teams are. I mean, there's always the potential you
bring back MVS unless Aaron Rodgers commands that he shows
(38:30):
up in New York because he just got released by
the Bills with their acquisition of Amari Cooper. So you know,
there's still gonna be movement. Still plenty of guys who
are disgruntled and teams that are already recognizing, hey, if
we can get a mid round draft pick or conditionals
based on some of this that it's all in our
best interest to do so.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
So yeah, for the Chiefs, the roster's not nearly done.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
The other thing you forgot is Mahomes no doubt raped
attention one. Watching Travis Kelcey's new game show today as well.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Oh you know I watched that today. Was it was good?
It was How do I say this? The Travis No,
the Travis Kelcey Game Show was. Boy, how do I
explain that? How do expec the.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Travis was a celebrity.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
We've ever heard of anything like his play of recent
It probably sucked.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I could have used more Nicki Glazer. That's one hundred percent,
can my way more Nicky Glazer? You talking about over
exposed very fast?
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (39:31):
It was, it was.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
It was something that was on TV I'll say that
that's okay good. Coming up next, more reaction from the
last big twenty four hours in the NFL. This is
Fox Sports Radio.
