(03:50):
It's no longer a plane. It wasn't. Yeah, no, no,

were trivia ants and said, the question is, hey, who's
the most disappointing team in the NFL New York Jet's correct?
You win? You have one, dude. Come on, man, look
at all the guys we have on the team. We're
too big to fail. No, two teams both have both

(04:13):
flogos don't contain animals. Let no Titans have the T
that they have the T in the inside the helmet.
All right. The Saints, the Saints, very New Orleans Saints.
Just to flow. You are missing one other team. No animals,
no letters, no people alive or dead. Colts, Colts, very good.

(04:33):
Those are your five teams. Although it is that associated
with shoe. It's a shoe. It's just a animal. It's
not the hoof. Five teams, the foot, the hoof, hoof,
they cut the foot and the hoof off mine, Knife, Browns, Cowboys, Colts, Chargers,
and Saints. That was and you got five points for

(04:56):
every answer. They got them all right, but the team
in first place got them all all right, so they
want as well. There you go that it's a pretty
good one for the end, like, that's a great questions.
Good question, that's a great question. And you know, the
thing is like when I first when she first told
me this question, I'm doing it in my head. I'm
going okay. Then then then and I was thinking helmets,
and I'm like, wait, there's more than that, because I'm
thinking the Vikings is just the it's just the horm

(05:18):
going on. And then and wife said, no, no, it's the logo.
Oh no, the logo is the Viking. But I'm thinking
the helmets. There's was just helmets. There's more should have been.
But there's your answer. That's pretty good. Browns, Cowboys, Colts,
Chargers and Saints, Lucky Guess Trivia. There it was right there.
There you go. That's what it's called. What else did

(05:41):
they anything else? The Okay, I got one more, I
got one. You want to want a movie one? You
guys want a movie one? I will do this when
then then we'll get to DeAndre Hopkins. The three highest
grossing movies in Keanu Reeves's career are all parts of franchises,
but it is a different movie in each franchise. So

(06:03):
the top three movies all time matrix are all in franchise.
We're all in franchisee hang On, hang On, hang On,
hang On, and they were all sequels, so number one.
So one movie in each of these, in each of
these franchises are the three highest grossing movies on his resume. Okay,

(06:25):
I got a Jason Okay, yes, it is a magic
Johnson tweet. It is it is now Frostburg. You are correct,
it is just Matrix two, Matrix two really bit more? Yes,
ogain that makes sense. John Wick two, john Wick two,
very good, very good john Wick film, and Ted's Excellent
Adventure two. I would have said that I said no

(06:46):
because I said Bill and Ted and I said Spin
then and she said no, it's not Bill and Ted
and I said Speed. I'm like, oh, but it's not
a sequel. He wasn't in Speed exactly. It's yeah, Constantine. No,
that's a good movie. Yeah, no, but it's it's it's
it's a franchise, franchise other more than one. No, there's
not constantly. Let's make it Constantine too, electric bogaloo. No,

(07:08):
there's no, not constantly too. It was recent and it
was animated, and he was a voice and I was like, oh,
I'm not gonna get it. And I said, I don't
know that I've ever seen it. I didn't see it. No,
but you're on the right track. You're on the right track.
He was in a I mean, this movie when it
came out was unbelievably huge, animated movie, and it was

(07:30):
one of those that made you think, oh, hey, Pixar
is still alive. Great, I'm still making movies. Oh boy
was good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it wasn't Minions. Wasn't
mean Pixar movie. It was number four, Number four he
was in. He was a voice in Number four. And
I never saw this movie. But it did great and
everybody loved it, and it was a way they kind

(07:51):
of restarted the franchise of it. I didn't know he
was in it. I didn't know he was in it picture.
Oh no, he was like a high wired like evil
and evil guy in Toy Story. Toy Story four. That's
very good. You kaboom? Yeah, I was it. Okay, yeah, okay,
that sounds right. You want that, sure, let's see. But

(08:13):
there's your answer. Remember the merchandising of it. Now Patricks,
john Wick and Toy Story. Here's your can reached trivia
for the night. Right there, The Jason Smith Show with
Mike Carmon live from the Tirack dot Com Studios. Sons
beat the Clippers hold on to win it one sixteen
to one thirteen. Monsey Belanios will have more on this
game and how absolutely devastating is for coming up and

(08:36):
what's trending. But look, we saw big trade today in
the NFL. Right we watched DeAndre Hopkins get dealt to
the Chiefs in exchange for a fourth round pick. And
and while the initial knee jerk reaction was, oh, DeAndre
Hopkins is still so great and it's exactly the Chiefs did,
and that's gonna put them over the top. Okay, let
let let's be realistic, because you say that, you're just stupid. Uh.

(09:00):
They needed a wide receiver obviously because they were down
to Xavier Worthy and I think Carlos Carson is still playing,
so they don't really they need a lot, right, and
they go out and they go get DeAndre Hopkins. It
doesn't cost a lot. They don't get involved, at least
for now in the Cooper Cup sweep stakes. Deontay Johnson
whatever it was, d hop is still good ish. He's

(09:25):
not the guy he was the dominant guy he was
five years ago. But no, he's coming off a thousand
yard season with the Titans and yes, bad quarterback play.
He's not quite a thousand yard receiver anymore, but he's
still DeAndre Hopkins. This is a move that I'm gonna
be quite honest with you. It's going to keep the
Chiefs where they are. It's not gonna get them over
the top. It's gonna get them back to the level

(09:48):
they were coming into this week. Okay, we're winning games
now because the Chiefs have remade themselves to be like
the latter day Patriots. Dynasty, right. The Patriots won a
lot of games at the beginning of their dynasty because
they had what they had and they threw the ball
a ton and Brady became this great quarterback. And then
they realized, Okay, hey, if we build a team that
is still built around Tom Brady being a great clutch quarterback,

(10:10):
but we have a really good defense, we're opportunities to
enough offensively, we're coached really well. That's how we're gonna
do it. And that's who the Chiefs are. They're modeling
themselves after the latter day Patriots because look, they don't
have the money to spend. Mahomes has a lot of cash.
Mahomes is a game manager. Now, he doesn't throw the
football as much as he used to. Those days are over.
They're not the same high octane Chiefs. So what this

(10:32):
move is gonna do is it's hopefully gonna keep them
where they are, which is still be able to pull
out games and still have just enough offense. But this
is not an over the top move. This is not
a move that should make anybody scared about the Chiefs
any more than they are. The Chiefs are still a
really good team and they're the only undefeated team left.
They are escaping, they are finding ways to win. You
can't take anything away from the record, but you think

(10:53):
this is gonna be a move that's gonna put them,
it's not. It's gonna help keep them where they were
and help them keep their heads where they were above
water in the undefeated waters. Right, That's kind of what
you need to look for. He's not gonna suddenly join
the team and catch ten passes a week for one
hundred and seventy five yards and two touchdowns. That's not
the way the Chiefs run things. That's not what DeAndre
Hopkins can do anymore. But he is going to help.

(11:15):
He is gonna help, and I don't doubt that. But
it's just to keep them at the level they were.
This is not an over the top move. Yeah, I
think he's a guy that down the stretch becomes that
much more vital. Like short term work him in, he
gets his routes, whatever. He's not an over the top guy,
and he really hasn't been. I think you go back
in his career, his biggest most robust average yards per

(11:38):
catch was fifteen and a half. Ish good, but not, Hey,
we're stretching the field with him and those that want
to dismiss thousand yard seasons because we got a little
bit of that chatter over the course of the day,
Like they're only twenty eight guys that hit that mark
a year ago, and that included a bunch of tight
ends overall. So it's still well, not right when you

(12:01):
want to break it down and say, wow, that's not
a lot of yards per game, Like you have to
stay healthy and you have to be consistent. You can't
have a shutdown against a Sauce Gardener, a Christian Gonzalez,
or whoever's lined up against you. So for him, I
think the biggest thing is you give a sure handed
guy on third downs the move to change where I

(12:21):
don't have to force it into a receiver who may
not be as a depth in that type of situation. Jason,
I think that's where d Hop really will make an
impact for them later on in the year. Is that
some of the balls that Mahomes is putting in harm's
way right now because he's trying to force it to
guys that he can't trust because they are tertiary or

(12:42):
fourth level receivers of Hey, you're pressed into action, let's
go because juju hasn't been healthy. They brought in Hollywood Brown,
he got hurt before things even got underway. Xavier Worthy,
I mean you're not putting that guy in harm's way.
I mean, yeah, let's run him across the middle. That's
not good for anybody, right, I mean we've seen him

(13:03):
get blown up a couple of times on big plays.
He's not a very stout individual. Great receiver, great speed,
all those things, but that's what you keep him out.
It's basically Kelsey and now Hopkins gives him another, gives
Mahomes and the offense another sure handed receiver to push
the and move those chains, to put Butker in position,

(13:23):
play defense, kick field goals, and cut back on the
turnovers that to this point haven't been too damning for
Patrick Mahomes unless people are behind microphones, exit out about
a Fresco exit swollming down with Jason Spith show with
my best friend Mike Carbon. So yeah, it's gonna help.
But over the top, No, the Chiefs are exactly where
they were a team trying to pull games out at

(13:45):
the end, having just enough offense. They're not unbeatable, they're
not unbelievable. They're not a team that you look up
and it looks like you're climbing a mountain. The Chiefs
are gettable. They're really good, but they're not what they were.

NBA coming your way in a few minutes. We'll tell
you what it has to do with Pink Floyd at
DJ clearly shining on a crazy diamond. No, no, no,

Don't call me Doug Gilmore. No, no, no, it's what
it's got to do with Pink Floyd coming up in

(15:06):
a few He's there next week. But two big quarterback
changes in the NFL today. Hey, Alex Tischer, where was
the first quarterback change?

Speaker 2 (15:19):
No?

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Stop, it hasn't happened yet. That's not happen. He's trying
to speak it into existence that his hammy is a
little bit sore happening. I asked you what he bust
his achilles in four snaps? Said way, whoa? Whoa?

Speaker 2 (15:35):
That?

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Don't that happened? What do you mean? Whoa? Don't throw
it out there like you like, don't don't put that
out there in the world talking about history. He's giving
you a history lesson. Come on, man, I mean, look,
the Mets season's over, man. Now I got the Jets
in this crazy ass next team that lost by fifty
last night? Come on, man, How does it feel to
get to the door not walk in? Good? Yeah? How
does it feel for my fist in your face? How

(15:57):
do I for you? Mad? Come? Aerosmith once had a
song called my fist your face? Like sports Alex ty shirt.
Where's that quarterback change happening? Oh? This is my favorite part.
Hold on, yes, you made him smile? See going back?
No no, not happening. No no, no, now now all

(16:18):
right now let's now let the adults talk. Now, let's
be okay. Uh So, Jameis Winston taking over his starting
quarterback for the Browns today. The decision made by Kevin Stefanski.
Uh the reason he didn't play last week. He was
designated the emergency quarterback. So Dorian Thompson Robinson played, but
he wound up getting dinged up. So now it's going

(16:40):
to be Jameis Winston. Who oh, by the way, a
circuitous route. But what did I tell you in August?
By week ten, Jameis Winston be the starting quarterback in Cleveland.
You're welcome. Uh So, now he takes over as you
only want credit for. I mean, how many how many
more weeks could they have gone with Deshaun Watson? He
would have forced him to go and do that press

(17:01):
conference every damn you watch your paycheck to Claire, you
will talk about how great he is and he is
remains our starter. So what is this going to mean?
What's going to be the impact of this. It's great
that Deshaun Watson that it's great that Jameis Winston gets
the shot now for Deshaun Watson because he is more dynamic.
But this is gonna be the effect that we saw

(17:24):
the Panthers have when they went to Andy Dalton over
Bryce Young. Bryce Young did not bring any offense to
the to the Panthers, they were still a bad team.
Andy Dalton shows up, yes, a little bit better offensively,
started scoring a little bit of points. But they're taking
l's every week. Not eaton who's they're taking. Use that's
what's gonna happen with the Browns. It'd be a little

(17:45):
bit more excitement with the offense, but they're gonna take
a lot of ls. I don't know how many games
will even be favored in over the rest of the season.
They are getting ready for next year. They have already
started to sell off. Amari Cooper gets traded to the Bills.
There's already rumors that David and Joku could be the
next guy gone because teams want a great value at
tight end. So this is not the end of what

(18:08):
the Browns could be doing trade wise, but that's gonna
be the impact. Jamis Winston will come throw some touchdowns
the last in big offensive weeks, but they're still gonna
win three games. Like that's still gonna be the year
for the Browns to be three to fourteen. They'll be
drafting in the top three and they'll get their quarterback
and that's how things are gonna work out for them. Oh,
you'd have to worry about free agency or sign it. No,

(18:29):
you'll have a top pick. You'll draft your Door Sanders
or Carson Beck or somebody else. And that's how they're
gonna wind up with their quarterback. And this is how
we're gonna make it work with this quarterback and Deshaun Watson.
Maybe Deshaun Watson stays the team as a backup while
they said, who knows, But that's how it's going to go.
They're gonna finish with a really bad record and that's
how they get their quarterback and that ends the era

(18:50):
of Deshaun Watson in Cleveland. Let's have fun with schedules,
shall we? Next week? This coming week against Baltimore, that's
a loss. That's two times. That's a lot. I mean,
they're defenses, no shakes. You know, you can at least
make a little bit of noise, but you ain't stopping
Lamar Jackson deck den uh Chargers defense. That's a lot.
Oh boy, the charge are gonna eat them alive. Then

(19:12):
a bye week, then they will not lose that week
following week at New Orleans. That that's games where they
could Yes, that's a definitely game where they could happen.
Then we get Pittsburgh. That's a loss. Then Denver, that's
a loss at Denver, uh, and then at Pittsburgh and
that's just one of those little sandwich with Denver. Why
not just play back to back Pittsburgh. They're gonna be

(19:33):
sitting then two and eleven and they get the Chiefs. Yeah,
they'd be two and thirteen, and then by then, uh
three games left, one other game on their schedule. It's winnable.
After Cincinnati at Cincinnati, then Miami Miami did who knows
where at home will be at that point, and then
at Baltimore. Yeah once again, and look and TWA says
he's on his way back, and if two is on
his way back, that's an l But you don't know

(19:55):
where he's going to be, how it's going to go.
You hope that he plays and I hope everything goes
okay with him. But yeah, look, how many more games
are they really gonna win? I mean, really, there'll be
works again, They'll be a little bit more excited. They'll
move the ball a little bit more. They got Nick
chubbed back, which is because I'm glad he's batchure. But
I mean, really, what are they gonna do? I mean,
what are they know? It's a disaster. It's absolutely They
get Jerry Judy a thirteen million dollars a year to

(20:17):
not catch a pass, you know, I mean that's what
that's what they did. Well, but if it Tillman might
be their best receiver, well that's just it. You go
into their depth chart. I mean, you got your guy,
Elijah Moore's gonna see targets this way. They traded a
second round pick to get Elijah. Well, you know, managements.
You know, as much as folks want to extole the
virtues and Burying and company, they did sign off on

(20:37):
a lot of bad checks. Look, and that's the thing
is there. Now the Browns are officially a tear down.
This is this. They went in the in the span
of last year this year going hey, look at what
they were able to do with with with playing starting
four quarterbacks last year. Wow, they're really gonna take that
roster off, they get play and now they're a teardown. Well,
I mean, Zadarius Smith's been rumored to be one of

(20:58):
those guys on the move, particularly in the wake of
the Hutchinson injury. We see what happens and you can
never as we talk with Jason Cole earlier tonight, defensive
lineman place where you can plug a guy in in
the middle of the season and feel pretty pretty sure
he's going to adapt to whatever you're working with, whatever
scheme you're running. So yeah, you might see another couple

(21:19):
of moves out of there. But there's the game against
the Saints was probably the only game you'll be favored
in unless you're playing Miami without Tua down the stretch,
because lord knows what the quarterback position will look like then.
But yeah, this is an absolute from coach of the
Year to a guy that, other than the fact that

(21:39):
he keeps doing Haslam's bidding, is the third favorite to
be fired. So there's your first quarterback change, your second
quarterback change coming your way in ninety seconds. But first,
let's take a deep breath. Let's say hi to one
of our favorites, Amanci Belanos, who just saw her Clippers

(22:02):
and they're seventy dollars parking go to zero and one. Yeah,
by falling to the Suns. You know, I haven't seen
Brie in the last couple of minutes.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Oh no, Yeah, she walked away by saying if James
Harden wouldn't have played, you would have won.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Wow. Really was she said? She walked away?

Speaker 3 (22:17):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (22:20):
I know?

Speaker 3 (22:21):
And no she she she wanted to hurt me on
the way out, and she did.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
She did so instead I killed her and stuffed her
body in my car and you'll never see her again.
She had a good run. She did have a good run.
Oh come on, how old is Brionna? Like thirty? That's
not a good run.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
That's a good run.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
She's fine. And then she gets to heaven and God says,
how did you die? Well, here's the thing. My best
friend was a Clippers fan, and then James Harden didn't
make a shot, and so I made and uh yeah,
now I'm dead.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
So and they're gonna be like, oh, okay, we get it.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Come on, come on, So James Harden missing a free
throw killed you Okay, yeah, send her over here, yes,
right this way.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
He also missed the layup right at regulation that would
have led them to just winning without going to overtime.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
So and then he missed the inbound pass. So I
wouldn't even give this deal to Grayson Allen.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
He just missed it is what I'm gonna say. But
the Suns win at Into It Dome, went sixteen to
one thirteen in overtime. Kevin Durant in the win twenty
five points and seven rebounds, James Harden in the loss
twenty nine points, twelve rebounds and eight assists.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
No the st the Steph Craizy.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Steph Curry just shive a triple double in his first
game for the Warriors this season, seventeen points, nine rebounds,
tennis cists. The Warriors had no issue with. The Blazers
won thirty nine to one. Oh four was the final score.
Jahn Morant with his own double double twenty two points
and tennisis as the Grizzlies edge. The Jazz won twenty
six to one twenty four LaMelo Ball with a thirty

(23:50):
four piece to go along with eight rebounds and eleven
assists as the Hornets top the Rockets won ten to
one oh five. The Pelicans had a one twenty three
to one eleven win over the Bulls. Nozion Williamson for
the Pelicans. Brandon Ingram led the way with thirty three points,
and it is official ESPN announced that Pelicans guard to
John Timurray did suffer a fractured left hand in the win.

(24:12):
He ended with fourteen points, ten assists and eight rebounds.
The Hawks held on to beat the Nets one twenty
to one sixteen. Trey Young with his own thirty piece
to go along with twelve assists. The Magic defeated the
Heat won sixteen to ninety seven. Paolo Bancaro at thirty
three piece and eleven rebounds, Jimmy Butler on a milk
cart and one of a three points five assists. The

(24:33):
Bucks outscored the seventy six ers one twenty four to
one oh nine. No Joe l Embid, no Paul George
for Philly. In fact, the league, according to ESPN, will
investigate the playing status of Mbi, who is expected to
miss the first three games of the season because of
a knee issue.

little NFL news for you. Panthers are gonna start Bryce
Young for Week eight against the Broncos. Andy Dalton has
a spring thumb following a car accident yesterday. The Browns

(25:09):
are gonna start Jamis Winston against the Ravens on Sunday
because Dorian Thompson Robinson has a jammed finger on his
throwing hand. The Times are leaning towards starting Mason Rudolph
at quarterback against again this week as Will Levis continues
to rehab from his shoulder injury.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
No practice today for quarterback.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Jaden Daniels as he continues to deal with his rib injury.
But Colt's running back Jonathan Taylor did practice and they
feel good about his chances to play this weekend against
the Texans forty nine ers, said coach Kyle Shanahan. Says
Deebo Samuel does have a chance to play Sunday night
against the Cowboys, even though he was hospitalized earlier this
week with pneumonia. Robert Sala looks like he found a job. Yeah,

(25:45):
he attended practice for the Green Bay Packers in a
fluid role no official title, and Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey
mispracticed today because of jury duty. He's been picture to
serve on a twelve person jury for a felony case
and con miss other practice. Says I am jealous on
the ice the Capitals. They beat the Flyers six to three. Guys,
this was fun. I mean the Clippers lost, but this

(26:07):
was fun.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Yeah, you used to have a best friend. No, it
was good times, you know, it was fun.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
That's fun.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, event Wednesday, your son's made one shot in the
overtime ten from free throw to thank you? Are you?
How much money did you lose in the game tonight?
All of it? Oh, I'm sorry. And the best friend
and the best friend. Yeah, and she lost her daughter's
World Series tickets. So there's that. There's all those things. No,
when win when for me, I have a great night,

(26:41):
She's really not happy. No, No, which is why I
think everything in the NBA got described in and described
in terms of how many pieces of chicken or the
amount of nuggets you would eat. Yeah, twenty eight piece
fished my wings going to finish those nuggies, So it's
gonna be a sad eating experience you have finish those nuggies.

(27:03):
Did you guys see the zamboni bucket? No? I did
not the zamboni bucket. The Golden Nights game, they had
a chicken bucket shape the zamboni. Wait wait, what a
chicken bucket? So it's the zamboni, but it's shaped Wait

(27:24):
let's go wait oh so you okay, So it's not
a zamboni that looks like a bucket of chicken. It's
a bucket of chicken in a zambone. Yeah, well I
didn't know which one it was. I didn't know which
one I was trying to figure out. Is a guy
driving a zamboni and it looks like a chicken bucket?
Or do you get a bucket of chicken and what
looks like a zamboni and that's what it is. That's
much much better. I'd rather get a bucket of chicken

(27:46):
in a zambone either that are new to your aisle
alongside the Dino nuggets are zamboni chicken nuggets? I wouldn't
care so much. About watching a guy driving a driving
a bucket of chicken around the I'm like, yeah, I
don't know though, Kentucky chicken bucket around the ice. That'd
be pretty cool. And then I got a zamboni I
get to play with at home. Nice after I ate
my nuggies so you can have those nuggies. Gonna have

(28:09):
those nuggies. So the other quarterback change happening in the NFL.
The Panthers are going back to Bryce Young. Now, all
good thoughts to Andy Dalton and his family. Andy Dalton
was injured in a car accident a couple of days ago.
Thankfully everybody is all right, but he sprained his thumb
in the accident, and Dave Canalis is hoping he can

(28:30):
serve as the backup quarterback on Sunday. But they're gonna
go back to Bryce Young. But you got the whole
family in the car. And if that's the only injury
that sustained, yeah, that God blessed me. You walk away
because we were watching all sorts of craziness on the
highways earlier that did not quite end so easily. So
the thing is about this from a football perspective, if

(28:51):
Bryce Young shows any sort of growth, right, any sort
of Hey, I can move the team a little bit.
He needs to stay the starting quarterback. I get that
the Panthers have sort of moved on from him. They
went to Andy Dalton. Things were really, really bad. But
if you're gonna move on, it seems like that. I'm
not saying they shouldn't, But here's a chance where you

(29:13):
know you're not gonna win games. You know you're gonna
be picking high in the draft again. You know all
these things are happening. Andy Dalton did not come in
and light the world on fight. He didn't start winning
Games's still a one win team. If he shows any
growth of all at all, he's got to stay the
starting quarterback. If you're not gonna trade him at the deadline,
and I'm sure there are teams that would be interested
and get hey, we can get Bryce Young, get away

(29:35):
from all his bad habits. There's a reason why he
was drafted number one. Teams would go back to why
he was there and try to get the talent out
of him that way. But if he shows anything, start
him the rest of the way, because if you're gonna
move on, you wanna be as sure as one hundred
percent sure this guy can't do it for us, and
you're only gonna see that and know that even more

(29:56):
if you see him play as we get to the
midway point of the season and on. It doesn't mean
he's got to play the rest of the way, But
if he shows any sort of hey, I can move
the ball a little bit. I had some time away.
I was threatened with my job. I know maybe things
we see that happen with players where they get time
to sit back and they understand things more. Maybe he's
got the system down a little bit more and they
play much better when they get the job back again.

(30:17):
We've seen that. So if he shows any of that, yeah,
he's got to stay the starter. You're not playing for
anything else. There's gonna be plenty of guys that are gonna
be traded over the course of this season. I'm sure
when when when they get their running back back from
the draft this year that maybe Chewba Hubbard's a guy
that winds up getting dealt or something else that they're moving.
They're gonna be moving on and still maybe Deontay Johnson

(30:38):
gets dealt. But you want to see if Bryce Young
is really done. Let's make sure let's leave no stone
unturned and understand he absolutely cannot get it done right,
and so then you can move on from there. You
can still look and when Brooks comes back, maybe it's
you trade Hubbard or wide receiver feelings back. You can
trade Deontay Johnson if you want to, but you really

(30:59):
need to see him him. And again if it's if
it's no touchdowns and three picks, then okay, go back
to Andy Dalton if you want to, because that's clearly
not going to get any better. But a little bit. Yeah,
I give Bryce Young a shot. Yeah, to be to
be like candid about it. Where you're at right now,
you stink either way. Whether Brooks comes back should not

(31:20):
be why you keep or don't keep hovered at this
point because you ain't winning with him and he's been
great and if anything, he's done himself a great service
to be someone that teams if they're looking to add
to their running back room. San Francisco is a guy
that can go play. Wo'd love to see Brooks play.
Remember when at the draft when Jerry Jelles goes boy

(31:41):
I really like and then he got drafted by the
fathers instead of becoming a cowboy because Jerry opened his mouth.
Oh yeah, that guy's still on the pork h So
they went and got him. But likewise, you know, whether
it's Steeland or whatever else. Like I think with when
you're looking at Bryce Young, you've got no choice but
to play him. At this point, Andy Dalton didn't move

(32:02):
the needle. So now it's all right, Dave can alice,
simplify the offense, change the offense, do whatever you need
to go out there and run it out, and then
by the end of the season you're gonna be drafting
top three regardless. Yeah, you're still giving away your second
round pick to the Bears, but you know you're gonna
be a terrible team either way. So why not ride

(32:22):
this out to its end? Is to decide, all right,
we're definitely not moving ahead to a year or two
of the Bryce Young experiment. If he's on the bench,
what are you learning? Yeah, I mean whether he can
write it up on a chalkboard, that doesn't matter. Just
because they have a chance to be absolutely certain, take
that chance. Exit out bout a fresca exit swelling down

(32:44):
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carman
coming up next, we will pick what is going to
turn out to be the biggest Thursday night football game
of the year so far? Plus what did the Clippers
opening night? At the end?

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Two?

Speaker 1 (32:55):
It don't have to do with Pink Floyd. It's next
right here, Jason and Mike fucks.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific. I want to have a gun blow hot
dogs into the stands.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Hobo, why did wow? There goes Pink Floyd.
Oh oh, we can only pay for that much? What
is especially now that someone else now owns all the rights?
It gets weird. The Intuit Dome open tonight, Clippers opening
their new arena. They lose in overtime to the Suns.

(33:40):
Clipper's gonna clip, but we saw the debut of the wall,
which is basically like a student section behind one of
the baskets of Steve Balmer wanted to reserve for the
rowdiest of Clippers fans. Your only Clipper fans are allowed
to sit there, and they went and caused all kinds
of havoc when Kevin Durant came to shoot a couple

(34:01):
of free throws there, and it's really fun to see.
It looks like a college basketball game and they're waving
all kinds of crazy ass stuff. I think you have
to audition like you're trying to become part of the
gleat it is. It is like American Idol, Like you
need to be able to show you you can do
things like you're going to see a taping of the Prices, right,
do something funny if you want to try to win.
Dave Pash doing the game and had this to say

(34:24):
as the play by play as Kevin Durant tried to
make a couple of free throws with the wall cheering
in his face.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
Well, the sun is shooting into that wall of Clipper fans.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Are four for eight at the line. It's definitely a
different look than anything you were going to see in
an NBA arena of what that end looks like. And
clearly road teams are going to be shooting into that
in the second half and everything nice. Now, that's kind
of fun, that's kind of it's kind of fun. Hey,

(34:58):
it's a different look. Hey, are we gonna see over
the course of the season. Hey, here's what teams are
shooting in the second half at the Intuit Dome against
the Clippers. I think that's kind of fun. I love
this idea by Steve Balmer. I mean, I don't like
the seventy dollars parking, which is what it was at
the Intuit Dome. It was sixty bucks me to park
at Dodger Stadium for the NLCS, but seventy bucks to

(35:18):
park at the Into It Dumps. Hey, Steve, don't price
everybody out of this already, right, don't pay for it.
It's just one It's just one game, one day old.
But I love the idea of the wall and I
want to see how that unfolds over the course of
the year. Was it Arizona State has their curtain of distraction? Yes, right,
and all the theatrics that we've watched here or I guess
it was pack twelve after dark. It definitely was back

(35:41):
twelve after dark. Was most definitely that shed a tear
for that. But yeah, this is interesting. I mean, Balmer
got into it. They're doing all the uh, you know,
dancing and back and forth, trying to create chaos, and
obviously it worked to a degree. Excepting, you know, in
overtime when they were out of ten. Well, it worked
until having an overtime. Let's not talk about that. Let's

(36:02):
talk about the misses and Kevin Durant missing those two
free throws. They're a bigger deal in overtime the Suns
ten ten to ten from the fall line. But it's
a nice little addition. Welcome to town, into it dome.
And look, if seventy bucks is breaking the bank on parking,
you go watch them on team. It's a lot of money, man,

(36:24):
it's a lot of money to have to watch a
regular NBA game, the forty one events. It's sixty bucks,
it's it's seventy bucks. It's a lot. It's a lot
of money. It's more than the tickets. Parking shouldn't be
more than the tickets are gonna be sometimes. You know,
we're talking about space, we're talking about availability, we're talking
about demand. Why do you always side with rich people,

(36:44):
You always side with the uber rich, like, hey, it's
got to keep all that money. They're not gonna give
you money. I'm not signing.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
I hate that.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Jason Smith, guy, I love Mike Harmon. He said, I'm
just gonna give him a million dollars. One is you
decide what you're gonna do with your money. And if
the seventy dollars is the the deal breaker, that's the
deal breaking. That's a lot of money, man, that's pricing
a lot of people out. How many get Hey, I
go to all these games? Parking was twenty dollars. No,
now it's seventy. Whoa seventy dollars to park? Yeah, it's

(37:14):
what it is. Good luck, good luck buying them. Okay,
I don't know that it was ever twenty. I think
you're you're saying, say it's forty dollars. Say it's forty dollars.
There you gonna because that's what is for a Dodger game.
I was okay paying sixty for the NLCS because it
was the NLCS. I understand the tickets are a big deal.
But if you went to a regular season game and
they tried to charge you sixty, you'd grumble about it

(37:35):
for a minute, and then you'd call that telh my god,
you wouldn't turn around. You'd be mad. No, maybe it's
one fewer Nacho helm how many? How much? How many
people are gonna say, oh I can I can't because
I can't afford the sixty dollars. It's a lot of money.
It's gonna turn away a lot of money. No, you're
not gonna buy the tickets. You're not gonna go because
well it's that money, and it's seventy dollars to park.

(37:55):
Yeah it was. The tickets were forty bucks a piece
and the parking is gonna be seventy. Wait, this is
one hundred and fifty, hundred and seventy five dollars a
day just for me to walk in the building. And
then it's gonna be more. That's a lot of money.
Don't buy a bunch of beer, peanuts, popcorns, and but
you're walking in at one hundred and fifty dollars. If
that sound it's an experience. And I'm what do they
call it when you when you're on a flight? What
do they raw dog it? Right? When you sit on
a flight? I don't do anything and just sit and

(38:16):
stare straight ahead for five hours. That's what I'm gonna do
it again, interesting re reallocation of that term. But isn't
that what it is?

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Right?

Speaker 1 (38:24):
That's okay, be careful, I mean, I know we're past
ten o'clock at all. So again the travel trend raw Dog.
So Tomorrow night is high new. You wanted to make
sure it's getting a lot of science. It's it. I
got that right. Tomorrow night is high noon in the NFL.
For the Rams. It's the biggest Thursday night game we've

(38:45):
seen yet this year because the Rams will make a
decision on their season, which will affect everybody else's season
depending on how this goes. They're two and five or
they're two and four right now. If they win to
get to three and four, likely aren't gonna trade Cooper Cup,
probably won't trade Matthew Stafford, but lose to the Vikings
and suddenly they're two and five. Cooper Cup has gone.

(39:08):
Maybe Matthew Stafford is maybe other players as well. Like
this is high noon the Rams tomorrow. That game tomorrow
is going to affect the NFL in so many different ways.
With three point dogs, forty eight is the total as
Flora is in that defense come flying around. I will
take the Rams because this game is their season. I
think offensively they'll move the ball a little bit more

(39:29):
than you think. Sam Darnold's starting to come back to
earth a little bit. Give me the rent. I'll take
the three points they win on the field, but I'm
not gonna turn it down. Twenty seven to twenty four rounds.
Take the Vikings thirty one twenty exit out bout of
Fresca exit Swelling Dome. Coming up next to my buddy
Ben Mallor. This is Fox
