need Mike. We need to do this right way out
of the gate, because whenever.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
You find the monkeys, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Whatever telling you plot of the apes is real, It's happening.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Where in the day, I saw an update that said
there was still no resolution as to their whereabouts.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Well, I did see one video from South Carolina. It
was really grainy. But I did see one somebody with
a camera, uh, bring it up to one of the
one of the monkeys, and was saying, hey, do you
need help? And the monkey went family and then went
back into the woods. So I don't know, I mean,
maybe it might be happening. I don't know, it might
(01:35):
be happening. Caesar, can we get you for a quick
quotes Caesar, Caesar? Quick quote Caesar Caesar.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
From running out of the woods, all dressed in Mets
World Series gear that got dumped.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
No, no, come on, let's be right. It's Yankees World
Series gear. Oh, okay, World serious gear. But anytime we
make a good prediction on the show, uh, and then
we have to move up the timeline. We gotta start
with it time because we told you, hey, you know
about a week ago, we said, listen, this is you know,
starts and all everything. I know it's early in the season,
(02:08):
but hey, the Bucks are an absolute mess and Doc
Rivers may not make it to Christmas. Okay, now after tonight,
now they are playing second night at back to backs.
They play the Knicks, and the Knicks just absolutely beat them,
and they just bludgeon them. The Bucks are never in
this game, watching this get They just look like a
team that was out there playing. And I know it's
(02:30):
back to back, but it's on the schedule. They never threatened,
They never looked like they had anything more than here's
a bunch of guys out there just playing basketball. They
dropped to two and seven, and now I gotta say,
you know what, Doc may not make it to Thanksgiving
because remember Thanksgiving is later this year. Yeah, we got
another twitch not in a week. You know, it's till
the twenty eighth, another twenty days to Thanksgiving. Doc might
(02:53):
not I mean really, at their two and seven and
you're talking about their next game is Sunday against Boston, right,
the schedule kind of lightens up a little bit, but
you're gonna be starting two and eight and at one point,
at some point, it's gonna be well, what do we do.
Do we get a new coach, or do we wait
for Yiannis to say he wants out or he do
wait for Damian Lillard to say I want out. Get
(03:14):
me to the heat. That's where I always wanted to be.
I mean, we said Doc wasn't gonna make it to Christmas.
Now I gotta move that up because now he really
is again, only because Thanksgiving is later. It's later this year.
He may not make it to Thanksgiving. That's more the
accurate prediction right now.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yeah, the big thing is you can't even sell me
on the back to back notion, because yesterday's game was
an absolute beatdown of the hapless woe be gone Utah Jazz. Right,
twenty three point victory. You use the word.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Woe be gone. I don't know if that's ever been you.
It sounds like ed TJ. Maybe the Jazz are woe
be gone Kenobi this year with their start TJ.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, I just pulled a really nice Obi wan Kenobi cart.
We'll talk about it later. But twenty three point victory,
which means not a lot of stressful minutes and not
a lot of minutes being played by your starter as
you're finishing the job, which meant hey look ahead to
New York and another opportunity. And we'd seen a couple
of their last losses, right, they were finally closed one
point loss to the Calves. Then they come back and
(04:13):
they lose another game to the Calves, only by two,
but otherwise, going back to early in the season, they
were getting their asses beat with regularity in double digits,
and here's another game where the Knicks go out and
blitz them. So yeah for the Bucks. A lot of
finger pointing and questioning coming up. We'll get more hot
takes on Yannis and people going to all their various
(04:35):
sources because this is my favorite. Like, he's not going anywhere.
I have sources that say he's unhappy and wants to
go I Eventually we're gonna have insiders and NBA scribes
fighting at Center court over Yeah, well my guy's closer
to Yannis. Well my guy may or may not be
his brother, whoa, And then we'll have fights.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Now, you know. You know what the best part of
it's gonna be is that, Like it'll get to that
point and Giannis will ask, look, he's he's got a
contract from that. You can't opt out and go to
free Agency's got to get a trade. He's got to
demand a trade. And we hear varying reports about how
happy he is. But if that happens and Yanna says,
I want out, I want to get somewhere, all of
a sudden, the most upset person in the world is
(05:15):
gonna be Joel embiid because he's going, that's supposed to
be me. That's supposed to be me getting out that
I'm unhappy and I want out. It's supposed to be me.
How is it Giannis all of a sudden, I was
leading up to this moment for so long. Look I
even got suspended when I'm not even playing yet. That's
really hard to do. What I got suspended?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
How is it not me?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yannis is gonna go or I want to go. He's
gonna have all the things I want, and he's gonna
be like Saliarian Amadaeus going, Why is this kid that
gets play the piano that way?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I'm a guy, I.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Study, I knew all this stuff, but look at this
kid just shows up and he plays a piano and
the magic flute and all this stuff. I'm very upset now.
I bet that's what's gonna wind up being that.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And you got the Smurfs and the magic fluted nicely done.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I did. I did. I didn't know if I'd get that,
because you know, you know, I got that in today
because I heard rockeyam Dais for the first time. It
was a good it was a good rock mehama Dais
because it was the one where they had the story
of his life in the middle. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Sixteen forty five, Wolfgang imadais Mozart becomes a freemason.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
You don't often get the free mason. It seems like
they try to avoid that one to go, you know,
into politics, sex, colt swear or any of those kind
of things in our world.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Sixteen fifty five, Mozart Mary's constant Waiver. You know, it's like, oh,
I know all about U days because that's a shit.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
It's funny because I also in my time, i'd had
a you know, Frankie goes to Hollywood Live version of
Relax and it was a video from some performance on
a talk show and out of the out of nowhere
comes Lemmy Killmeister, who grabs the woman that's sitting there
dancing with him and walks off stage with her. So
you never know what you're gonna get in your timeline.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
In September of that same year, Mozart dies, It's like,
oh I had to take it down, didn't you. Okay,
Well that's that's that's the last one. That's the last one.
It's like, I think, honestly, kids would have learned better
that was an unbelievable way to have kids learn about history.
Oh that was just such a one off song in
the eighties that like, you could have done that for anything.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You could have done all did it.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You could have done instead of rock Me Ambi day As,
you could have done rock Me George Washington or something,
and it would have been like the big precursor to Hamilton.
You would have known all about that stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
See, now you've figured out the next next line of
alongside your radio career. When you've got some extra time.
No no, no, stop playing your Spider Solitaire. Now it's
time to learn an instrument and start writing some sick
beats about history.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I'm gonna go learn about das Moti. Really, all that
sounds interesting? What'd you do? I listened to rock Me
Ambi day As forty seven times in a row, and
I wrote down all the infron I couldn't get it
all the first a few times around, but then I
got everything down at the end. I'm gonna study that
now I know it. So if I ever have a
test on Mozart, I know. I mean, I've known Constance
Weber's name since I was sixteen years old. Don't have
(08:04):
me never see what she looks like I did, but
I know constant waiver because of that.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Now an artist surrendering of costance.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
In November of that same year, the Bucks fired Doc Rivers.
Every team could have their own thing.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
In July of that year, the Bucks hired Doc Rivers.
In January the same year, Doc Rivers is fired.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
What's that new compilation album? My here, it's three or
four dislung. It's called timeline.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I mean, look, I don't crack.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Is the timeline of a player or team something or
fall from grace?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Well, that's what it's always. It's always taking flight if
you're new, and it's called a glory if you win
the first time, and return to glory if you're winning
for the second time. Okay, that's like every NFL films
year in review, it's every single one. It's taking flight,
call the glory, return to glory. That's all you have.
That's all you have, because that's all NFL. You're either
(08:59):
starting over and then you know when they show hardly
any highlights from the season, maybe the one or two
games you win, and then all here's but here's a
new coach who has hired here's a draft pick, or
or you win it all, or you're a team that's
won it all before you win it all again. That's
what three ways. That's that's only three teams in the NFL.
You think you guys all these different tiers of teams
as contenders pretenders. No, you're either starting out on your
(09:22):
on your quest to win it all, you win it all,
or you've won it all again. That's it. Three teams.
That's all.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
You really kind of went down and you added a
third category. Otherwise you're really sounded like Ricky Bobby.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Look, tonight's also going to be a big college football
night as well. Coming up in a few minutes, are
gonna preview the biggest games of the weekend, too incredibly
large games to take a look at one as a
loser leave town match when it comes to the playoff.
But you know, right now, big college football game on
Fox tonight, watching Iowa and UCLA, and this game is
tied to ten apiece, and I get to say, Mike,
(09:54):
you know it's I've avoided doing this because I just
feel so bad, you know, living living in LA But
it's really it's time to put UCLA into the sports
Stonehenge Ucla football and go in the Sports Stone what if.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
They get what if they hire Peak the Events?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, I do you gonna say? What if they hire
Pete Carroll?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I I mean, I mean, you know, you know sports
in case you don't know, Sports Stonehenge is what we
refer to as teams who meant something a long time ago,
but no one really understands what it was. No one,
No one really remembers why this team meant so so well,
it meant so much to people because now they're just
a bunch of guys that are the team is in
(10:34):
disrepair and they're not playing well, kind of like you
go to Stonehenge and you go, I don't I don't
know why is this such a big deal? Nobody knows,
but it was a big deal a long time ago.
Like Ucla football at three and five, Uh is there
and it's and it's not gonna get better because in
the Big Ten, like okay, USC can go to the
Big Ten. You can think and maybe uh they could
wind up winning some games. Maybe Lincoln Riley gets it,
(10:54):
you know another you know, one hundred and five hundred
and ten plays go differently. USC is undefeated the last
couple of years. But you know, they tell me, but
UCLA is in here just to get drubbed, Like UCLA's
here for teams to take the trip to LA for
recruiting and all kinds of other reasons. But UCLA football
man sports stonehenge hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah. It's funny, right, because they're playing a bit better
of late, so you know, trying to find some semblance
of consistency. Tonight, running the ball very effectively against Iowa
with about nine minutes left in the first half. It's
now ten to ten with seven minutes remaining, But with
about nine and a half minutes remaining, I scrawled down
the quick little graphic one hundred and six rushing yards
(11:35):
for UCLA to nine from Iowa, and they'd moved the
ball effectively through a pick in the end zone. So,
you know, showing some signs of life. But overall, yeah,
I mean, you got to go back to Kate McNown
to where you had a high flying attack that really resonated,
and coming into the conference, it's all about how you're
(11:56):
going to shift with the difference in and as we know,
the cliche of cliches styles make fights man.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Sports another team welcome welcome. You see it good Sportstone
Inch welcome.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Will they painted blue like you painted it orange when
you visited?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Maybe they might. I was not me the painted I
did go there the week after it got painted orange,
but I did not pay that.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
It was someone ahead.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I was not.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
I'm figuring, all right, I'll have this guy do it,
and then while it's still kind of orange, I'll get
my photo up and nobody will be any of the wiser.
Not me.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Not I was again. I was there the week after
it got painted orange, and they didn't close it down.
The people did it and just kind of sat there,
waited for the police and was like, not that bad,
because I asked the guys when I went there, I said, Hey,
what happened when they painted this thing orange? A couple
of weeks ago? I thought this is gonna be the
most exciting thing ever in Stone It. Dada said, oh, yeah, well,
you know the police game they sat after, and then
you know the paint just kind of fell off after. Yeah,
(12:53):
that's it. Yeah, yeah, okay, it's kind of.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Like the museum folks. When you know these whatever you'd
like to call them, hoodlums is what I call them.
I'm going to an art museum and splash pain or whatever.
And because they're protesting something, nobody gets really excited because
you know what, a lot of times.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
It's a reproduction on the wall UCLA and the Sports Stone.
Henj's so sad. The Jason Special with Mike Carmon live

We're gonna take a look at the two biggest games
in college football coming up in a couple minutes. But first,
(14:59):
U Lakers playing the Sixers tonight. Still know Joel Embiid
still not healthy and not legally cleared to play it
because there's a suspension. But things afoot already with the Lakers.
We talked about this the other night that it just
took two weeks and the Lakers have broken. JJ Reddick right,
very upset with the Angelo Russell pulled him out of
the game, wouldn't really talk about it in detail. The
(15:22):
other night dropped the mic, very upset leaving the press conference.
What he was asked a question about how do you
get through to a guy like D'Angelo Russell. Well, apparently
JJ Reddick is trying because D'Angelo Russell not in the
starting lineup for the Lakers tonight. Instead Cam Reddish x
Nick maybe now good in the starting lineup for the Lakers.
(15:42):
They're leading the Sixers right now twenty one to ten,
so hey, it's working. But this goes into and Cam
Reddish is a guy that just hit a big three. Look,
this goes into where the Lakers are and what they
might need to do at some point during the season.
And look, I've talked about the Angelo Russell. Yeah, oh,
Jeni Ruddy's gonna come in. He's gonna unleas d'An Angelo Russell. Yeah,
(16:05):
you know what if it's if you wanted him to
come in and unleash D'anngelo Russell and Austin Reeves. Yeah, okay,
but these guys have been in the league a little bit, right.
I mean, Reeve's not as much, so maybe he's a
little The younger players are always more open to coaching
and changing. But d' angel Russell's been in the league
a long time. It's his second stint with the Lakers.
He is who he is. You're not gonna suddenly commit
and say, oh, I'll coach that guy up. Yeah. No,
(16:27):
the guy's been in the league for almost a decade now.
He's not gonna suddenly change who he is. This is
what it is to think you're gonna come in and
change that. It's not gonna work younger players. Yeah, And
the best thing for the Lakers to do right now, honestly,
is to get him back to the point where they
where his images is rehabilitated, to where they don't think
there's a problem, because you know, getting benched after two
(16:48):
weeks is not a great look. And he's gotta be
a guy that they dangle with somebody else at the
trade deadline. And I'm telling you, I'm gonna I'm gonna
say it right now because I'm gonna say it between
from now to February, there's gonna be some kind of
trade because you're going to watch the Phoenix Suns kind
of fall out of contention. You see the love fest
that has gone on in the last year, especially with
(17:09):
Kevin Durant lebron Brony taking pictures before the games. Kevin
Durant's going to be a Laker at the trade deadline,
and it's going to be D'angela Russell and another good
player like maybe in Austin Reeves or something else that's
going to go to Phoenix to try to be the
big impetus for the Lakers to get through if the
big trade I'm seeing the deadline. Absolutely, Kevin Durant's going
to be a Laker.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Let's see, we've got eighteen nineteen million dollars thereabouts for
D'angela Russell on that deal. Tonight, Suns with a thriller
ahead of this Laker start fourteen thirteen in the final
over the Mavericks, Durant twenty six, five and four for
the victorious Suns. So eight and one thus far. And
(17:51):
I those trade wins are pretty calm right now. The
flags are hugging the polls.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Wow, Okay, I like that. Now I'm picturing like like
the old uh Yankee Stady when Burman would do the
highlights and go and the New York Football Giants see
the big penance all sway at the top of the stadium.
Gun he goes into the highlight of the game. Sure, sure,
that's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I mean, I really painted a picture for America and
the Globe right there. Our friends in Australia knew exactly
what I was trying to be sure.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Hey, we're afternoon driving Australia. Don't worry about that.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Got it a big deal, no question about it.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
H So again we'll keep updated on this game again.
Eleven point lead by the Lakers. Look, Cam Reddish has
always had the talent, he's just never figured out a
way to put it together. He's a guy that JJ
Reddit could potentially a Let me try to see what
I can do with him, because he's never really had
the chance. But like you think, Oh Russell, he's still young,
he's to it's been around way too long, man, This
is kind of who he is. You have to know
(18:47):
the players that you can mold and get them to
buy in and play, and he's not one of them.
I mean, I don't know, man. I mean, look, you
want him to be some kind of of asset if
you can trade him, and and at this point it's
hey just to get his image to the point where
teams will see him. Oh, if he's thrown into a
deal to make the money work, all that might be
able to be okay for us. And then you have
to throw in another good player with them that people
(19:09):
actually really want, and then you can make that trade
and then it'll work.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I just remember Cam Raddish coming into the league. You
know how young he was and everything else. He turned
twenty five on September first. Yeah, this is his sixth year.
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
It could also be that the Dodgers are at the
game tonight, like Freddie Freeman and a bunch of Dodgers
are at the Laker game, and if the Lakers actually struggled,
just put Freddy Freeman in and then that's all you need.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
That's not a bad way to go. And I mean
a couple of guys were at Disneyland earlier today.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, I mean, it would be tough seeing Freddie Freeman
hobble up and down the court. It would might be
a little bit, but you know, look, he's just gonna
hit a home run, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
You can go on. I mean, he could play like
captain in his final year, find a nice spot on
the court where he's deadly.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
We'll got more basketball coming up throughout the show. Again,
big lead for the Lakers right now over the Sixers
playing without Joel Embiid, without Doc Rivers, without Julius Serving.
I'm trying to think of other dog without Doc. Hollywood
with you guys, So yeah, what do you got to
talk from the seven Dwarfs Sjam Reddish's trade value right now?
Is that an all time high? Yeah, you might be
able to make that trade now for KD Cam Reddish
(20:11):
after another. Who want a sandwich? Cam Reddish and D'Angelo
Russ come out, Let's do it now. It's like those
fantasy trades you have to make when a guy has
a really big game. It's like, if I don't trade
him now and he has a bad game, nobody's gonna
want him. I gotta make that trade now, now, now, now, now, now,
all I eat some spinach and then hit the blue
button in your face.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
In the face, head of face.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
All right, So looking ahead to tomorrow, two big games
on the college football schedule, and one I have to
give credit to even though I have been extremely critical
of them for most of the season and their head coach.
But and it's kind of weird to say this, but
I have to give Deon Sanders in Colorado a lot
of credit because they did something and they've been doing
(20:54):
something I didn't think they could do. They're just playing football.
I didn't think they could do that. I didn't think
Deon Sanders could be someone who was out of the headlines,
who wasn't gonna stir the pot every week with some
kind of controversy, whether it's real or made up, or
it's the media's fault for this. You saw the way
the season started. It looked like it was gonna dovetail
(21:15):
into ridiculousness. And you had Schadur Sanders throwing his offensive
line under the bus after the lost in Nebraska, and
it's all this is gonna be it. But Colorado has
done something I didn't think they could do. They have
just shut up, put their heads down and played great
football the last few weeks to the point now they're
six and two and maybe a little bit inflated. They're
ranking a little bit inflated. Because it's deon its Colorado,
(21:37):
and you do have two of the best players in
the country on your team, and maybe the players are
go one to two in the draft next year with
Travis Hunter and Shadua Sanders. But they're back into the
the fringe of contention for the playoff, and certainly tomorrow's
a big one with Texas Tech because Texas Tech is
pretty good, but their defense is awful. But I gotta
give Colorado credit because I didn't think they could do this,
(22:00):
and can they do it for the rest of the season.
That's the point. But I'll tell you when somebody does something,
I'm wrong. I didn't think they could do this, and
they are.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I just feel pretty good about them. Remember before the
CA State game, I was talking playoffs, talking playoffs. I
went full Jim Mora and then they went out and
lost thirty one to twenty eight to the final, Like,
what the hell are you doing to me? I tried
to build the arc, the bandwagon and get it fired
up somewhere outside of Boulder, and then you go and
lose and people jump back off. But sitting at number
(22:31):
twenty right now, they're in a pretty pretty decent spot.
If they can finish out the slate well playing good
balance football. And the other thing we didn't think they
could do was run the ball with any level of effectiveness.
And they've just gone to the idea of playing balanced football,
something that was not in the offing. And guess what.
It usually helps to preserve your quarterback if you have
(22:53):
a threat of a run game. So Shedor Sanders gets
to remain upright now.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
This game, I'll give you a big ball prediction for
this game tomorrow because Texas Tech defense is absolutely awful.
I mean, I like the I think the over for
this game is like ninety three and a half because
Texas Tech their defense is that bad. I'm gonna say this.
I'm gonna say, Shador Sanders goes for five hundred yards tomorrow,
five five, not four. He goes for five. Because it's
against Burrow, it's a big game, it's national television. All
(23:22):
they're gonna do is throw this is He's gonna go
for five hundred tomorrow and you're gonna see it early.
He's gonna be at like three hundred by halftime. You're
gonna say, Wow, he goes for five hundred tomorrow in
this game.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
I gotta see what his prop bets are sixty two
and a half, four and a half point the the
line of this one. But yeah, sixty two and a half.
We're expecting some offense.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Telling you man, it's he's gonna give me, give me
five hundred yards past.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Their five five bills. I like, I like the Bravado.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I always like five hundo, five hundo, five.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Slapping, five hundred plays five hundred.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Now the game of the week, the game of the week,
which is a loser because I know you love this
game because it is a loser leave town match.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Oh absolutely, old school wrestling at its final.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
You got Alabama LSU. Because the loser with three losses
likely is gonna end up on the outside looking. And
now we talked about this a couple of weeks ago.
The best part of the new playoff is that you
don't know how many losses is gonna knock a team
out of contention. Potentially, there could be room for a
three loss team somewhere, but when you're going one through
(24:30):
twelve and again, it's gonna be different. The top four
seeds are gonna be conference winners. Then you know you're
gonna take the best teams from the other big Power
five conferences. Maybe there's room for one college football team
not in a quote Power five conference, even though there's
not five big conferences anymore. So maybe Boise State's a
way to get in. But you know, you don't know, like,
could you get in with three losses? Yeah? Maybe, but
(24:51):
an SEC team with three losses already isn't gonna get in.
So you're talking about this being a loser leave town
match with Alabama and LSU. And I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna go right back to the well that I
dipped in last week and drag a nice cool trough
of water from I'm gonna say, like I did last week,
I'll pick James Franklin and Penn State to win a
(25:11):
big game. When James Franklin and Penn State win a
big game for the first time in eight years. I
will pick Brian Kelly to win a big game at LSU.
When he wins a big game at LSU. I have
seen Jalen Milroe and Alabama win big games. Yes, they've
been up and down this year, but you know LSU
is gonna have a tough time containing him. Look, every
defense has a tough time containing him. But They're not
(25:33):
really built for what he does. I will take Jalen
Milroe in this game. They won't be able to do anything.
And LSU kind of finds ways to lose games like this.
We've seen this in the Brian Kelly era. So for me,
it's mill Row and it's Kelly and Kleen de Boor
gets a big win. They are really desperate, and I'm
gonna go with the team with the better quarterback and
(25:53):
the team that I've seen win big games like this.
It's got to be shown if LSU wins tomorrow and
basically eliminates Alabama. Okay, hey, but until Brian Kelly wins
a game like that, I'm going with Alabama.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah. So here's one of these stats. As you go
and dig into this game, LSU is only giving up
four stacks and eight games twenty four tackles for loss altogether,
and we know the strength of the Alabama off That's
one that means nuts Meyer's just making bad decisions with
the football because he's got nine picks on the ear.
I trust that they can't run the football only one
(26:26):
hundred and fifteen yards per game on the ground. And
to your point, Brian Kelly's a guy that'll find his
way to have sour face on the sidelines at the end. Yeah,
give me Alabama big in this one, especially because they
get to embarrass LSU in front of a live tiger. Now,
I did find the line for you, and I could
wager on it for you if you're feeling good about
(26:48):
it in the in the fun and exciting world of
our apps. Three twenty seven and a half, that's the
passing yard over under for shud Or Sanders.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Oh, I thought that. I thought you were gonna that's
how many That's how many people the live tigers could be,
uh could be afraid of injuring if he gets out.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Well, I mean we did see the report that allegedly
the handlers have had on two occasions the tiger get free.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, that's not a great thing that you're gonna bring
a tiger to a to a place where there's gonna
be sixty thousand people and these are people that have
lost track of a tiger before.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Yeah, you don't get three. I mean he's not at
three strikes yet. I mean he could fall tip it
where I mean, maybe the chains a little longer.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Jay. They thought instead he could be at three stripes
on this tiger. I mean really, I mean, hey.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
What you did.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
We're gonna bring a ti a live tiger to the game.
That's great. Yeah, but here's the thing, the people bringing
up that they've lost tigers before.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Yeah, there's lots of allegations of mistreatment and abuse. But yeah,
let's do that.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
We're gonna bring a tiger we haven't fed in a while,
so it's gonna be hungry and really strong too, Like
he's broken like five or six chains and planting. I mean,
he's really he's strong. Man white. It's gonna be fun seeing,
isn't here.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
You watch a gladiator in the in the studio right now?
Is that what you're doing?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
The tiger just stands up and hold hold hey, man,
forget about we got Planet of the Tigers tomorrow, not
Planet of the Apes. We got Plant of the Tigers tomorrow.
Forget about the monkeys that escaped in South Carolina. We
could have Planet of the Tigers. This tiger escapes and
who knows what happens in the woods. Who knows what happened?
He also in the tigre come back with like this
is a half tiger half spider. It's like some sort
(28:30):
of weird Darth Mole thing.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Yeah, but all of a sudden he shows up with
sixty two of his friends.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
We got from It's like the it's like the stampede
scene from Flying Holy See is a cloud of dust?
I don't know. This is three yards in the cloud
of dust. Offense right here? Old let me tell you.
Uh so, both Mike and I like Alabama tomorrow over LSU.
Right now, let's find out what's trending in the wide
world of sportsman A man who is only slightly more
(28:58):
calm right now. Then you see head coach to Sean Foster.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon, Live from the
Tirech dot Com Studios. We'll give your upset special picks
in the NFL coming up in a couple of minutes.
But this story today the boy. You know, it's kind
it's always kind of fun, uh, when a phrase or
a word suddenly becomes synonymous with a team or were
(33:00):
an individual in sports. The Yankees have decided to bring
Aaron Boone back for next season, which you think, well,
it made it to the World Series. Yah, yeah, yeah,
But now they've decided they're gonna bring him back. They
made it to the World Series, which tells you what
they think of Aaron Boone, his tenuous hold on the team.
That he gets to the World Series and there's not
(33:21):
an announcement then hey, we're gonna pick up your option.
All this now, obviously they're hoping to work with him
on a new contract, but you don't announce that like
the day after the World Series. We're gonna wait a
while and talk about it and say hey, we're bringing
you back just for next year. As good of a
season as the Yankees had look winning the Pennant, getting
to the World Series before they throw up on themselves.
(33:42):
I'll tell you what, man, lazy Yankees is gonna follow
them and follow this team and follow Aaron Boone, I
mean Joe Kelly sounding that out, saying, hey, we beat
the yank We knew we were gonna win. The Yankees
you could see their stars. They were lazy. Miguel Rojas
does a podcast and says, yes, Yankee were lazy, even
though it's not quite accurate. Lazy Yankees. That's now this team,
(34:06):
that's now the image and the impact when you saw
them puke all over the front of their jerseys during
the World Series, really during the playoffs too, but just
you didn't pay attention because they kept winning somehow. But
seeing that happen, they're gonna be tagged with that lazy
Yankees moniker into the offseason into next season until they
prove they're not. And it really is something that just
(34:28):
really quick, all of a sudden this past week, Wait, Yankee,
No lazy Yankees, that's what's happening.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Lazy Yankee. The companion piece to the classic Damn Yankees
opening off Broadway twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Asking TJ, can you take us high enough and fly
us over yesterday in the World Series, TJ.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Nice, nicely done. But yeah, Lazy Yankees, I mean it
rights itself. It becomes the moniker. How you didn't extend
pickup options whatever during the playoff run is just laughable,
Like it's a non story's so, yeah, we're crushing why bother?
So when you do it at this point, it's either
he thought he had leverage to get more money and
years out of you, which is kind of funny, or
(35:11):
and options out out there, or you really are sending
the message that you're settling, because that's all you're doing
at this point a wee a week and a half
after the season ends. It's saying, all right, he's good enough,
as opposed to that's our guy. Look at the effort.
We're getting a wait, I said effort.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
See, that's the whole thing about lazy. The effort's a
big thing with lazy.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
I tried to sell it and then I walked right
into my own trap. By the way, we also I
mean showing people can change, though, and that's the hope
for the Yankee fans for next year. That no longer
can they be tabbed as lazy. I just saw D'Angelo
Russell save a ball from going out of bounds. Get
the ball back. Wait, and then he drove the length
(35:56):
of the court and hit a layup.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Wow, maybe he does want to stay. And then he
ran over to Mookie Betts and sold the trophy. Yeah,
the Dodgers brought the World Series Trophy to the game tonight.
They just go to the game. They all brought the
World Series Trophy.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
That's bold. Yeah, Lebron put it on his head like
a crown.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I can see that happening. I can see him trying
to dribble down the flacy. He just breaks the bottom
of it off and puts it on his head. I
can see that. Uh so we'll have more basketball on
the way again. A nine point lead for the Lakers
right now over the seventy six ers. But Mike and
I do it every week, we give your upset special picks.
In college football and the NFL, I took a really
(36:35):
bad LS, one of the toughest beats of the last
few years. I had Duke getting twenty one, and come on, man,
I was winning like forty nine seventeen In the fourth
quarter you were and I lost. That was an awful,
awful beat. But putting my fourteen and five record on
the line is still a great record. Still very happy.
Uh give me the Pittsburgh Steelers getting two and a
(36:59):
half over Washington in the other game of the week.
But you're looking at the NFL as we going wow, man,
yeah Pittsburgh, and yeah, who knew, But that's the game
of the week. Look, Pittsburgh's defense is really physical. It's
one of the top defenses in the NFL. They get
after the quarterback, they make plays. They're going to do
that to Washington. They're going to force turnovers. There will
(37:22):
be short fields for Russell Wilson. Won't be a lot
of points in this game, because, look, the Steelers don't
allow a lot of points. And I'd be really surprised
if if Jayden Daniels goes up and down the field
against the Steelers and goes four touchdowns and two hundred
and fifty yards passing and seventy five yards rushing, I'll say, yeah,
put him at the front of the list for MVP.
But I don't see that happening. And the Steelers are
(37:42):
gonna have enough because defensively. This is gonna be a
bit of an education and adjustment for Washington. The Steelers win,
and I'll give you a big bold prediction. Mike Williams
scores his first touchdown for the Steelers. Red zone or
moon ball, No, no, no, red zone, red zone. I
don't think he's enough to get in and play enough
between the twenties. But red zone where they play red
(38:04):
zone touchdown for Mike wad Oh.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
The way Russ throws a deep ball though you got
plenty of time to track it. This isn't a red line,
Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Kate doesn't know where the red line. The red line's the.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Same mids, and he needs to know the red line.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
He needed a team. You gotta know the red line.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Red one's out there with a laser pointer to him.
Run the red line like he's the fox going to
steal stuff in Ocean's twelve.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Don't tell anybody, but you're gonna see. We got we
got one of our We got one of the interns
who's gonna train the laser pointer. Just follow the laser
pointer down the field and when you don't see it,
turn around for the ball. Okay, just follow the laser
pointer and then turn around for the ball when you
don't see it. It will get completion every time.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
It's superimposing the route grid onto the field. I love that,
all right. I am going to take the short home dog.
I'm gonna take two first. I'm gonna take Arizona to
beat your Jets, with James Connor and Trade Benson being
the guys that lead the way forty six and a
half year total Kyler Murray uh won't be able to
(39:06):
do much against the past defense, but he won't need
you because they're gonna be able to run. And then
I'm gonna take New England to beat the Bears out right.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Oh no, no, no, no, you can't do that, man,
that you're just you're just saying that because you're mad
at the Bears. I'm not gonna allow you to make
that pick. I'm not. I'm gonna, Hey, best friends talk
each other out of bad ideas. I'm gonna not allow
you to make. I'm gonna talk to you. I know
you're emotional, I know it's I know you're upset. I'm
not gonna allow you.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
To make a last case of emotions.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
I'm not gonna lie. The first one is fine, I'm
not here be bad. I know, I understand this, but
you have to be emotionless on this. I can't allow
you to make that pick.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
I he made me walk the beach and I missed
my feelings.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Gotta pull that back, man. That doesn't count. That does
not count.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
So there's our official upset special picks. Uh Bears Patriots, Bears,
Patriots does not count. Uh. That's it. Out about a
Fresco exit swollen down the Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Mike Carbon. Coming up, we'll take a look
at this weekend. Two NFL teams who may, by the
end of the year be two of the best teams
in the league overall. That's next, Fox,

need Mike. We need to do this right way out
of the gate, because whenever.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
You find the monkeys, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Whatever telling you plot of the apes is real, It's happening.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Where in the day, I saw an update that said
there was still no resolution as to their whereabouts.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Well, I did see one video from South Carolina. It
was really grainy. But I did see one somebody with
a camera, uh, bring it up to one of the
one of the monkeys, and was saying, hey, do you
need help? And the monkey went family and then went
back into the woods. So I don't know, I mean,
maybe it might be happening. I don't know, it might
(01:35):
be happening. Caesar, can we get you for a quick
quotes Caesar, Caesar? Quick quote Caesar Caesar.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
From running out of the woods, all dressed in Mets
World Series gear that got dumped.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
No, no, come on, let's be right. It's Yankees World
Series gear. Oh, okay, World serious gear. But anytime we
make a good prediction on the show, uh, and then
we have to move up the timeline. We gotta start
with it time because we told you, hey, you know
about a week ago, we said, listen, this is you know,
starts and all everything. I know it's early in the season,
(02:08):
but hey, the Bucks are an absolute mess and Doc
Rivers may not make it to Christmas. Okay, now after tonight,
now they are playing second night at back to backs.
They play the Knicks, and the Knicks just absolutely beat them,
and they just bludgeon them. The Bucks are never in
this game, watching this get They just look like a
team that was out there playing. And I know it's
(02:30):
back to back, but it's on the schedule. They never threatened,
They never looked like they had anything more than here's
a bunch of guys out there just playing basketball. They
dropped to two and seven, and now I gotta say,
you know what, Doc may not make it to Thanksgiving
because remember Thanksgiving is later this year. Yeah, we got
another twitch not in a week. You know, it's till
the twenty eighth, another twenty days to Thanksgiving. Doc might
(02:53):
not I mean really, at their two and seven and
you're talking about their next game is Sunday against Boston, right,
the schedule kind of lightens up a little bit, but
you're gonna be starting two and eight and at one point,
at some point, it's gonna be well, what do we do.
Do we get a new coach, or do we wait
for Yiannis to say he wants out or he do
wait for Damian Lillard to say I want out. Get
(03:14):
me to the heat. That's where I always wanted to be.
I mean, we said Doc wasn't gonna make it to Christmas.
Now I gotta move that up because now he really
is again, only because Thanksgiving is later. It's later this year.
He may not make it to Thanksgiving. That's more the
accurate prediction right now.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yeah, the big thing is you can't even sell me
on the back to back notion, because yesterday's game was
an absolute beatdown of the hapless woe be gone Utah Jazz. Right,
twenty three point victory. You use the word.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Woe be gone. I don't know if that's ever been you.
It sounds like ed TJ. Maybe the Jazz are woe
be gone Kenobi this year with their start TJ.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, I just pulled a really nice Obi wan Kenobi cart.
We'll talk about it later. But twenty three point victory,
which means not a lot of stressful minutes and not
a lot of minutes being played by your starter as
you're finishing the job, which meant hey look ahead to
New York and another opportunity. And we'd seen a couple
of their last losses, right, they were finally closed one
point loss to the Calves. Then they come back and
(04:13):
they lose another game to the Calves, only by two,
but otherwise, going back to early in the season, they
were getting their asses beat with regularity in double digits,
and here's another game where the Knicks go out and
blitz them. So yeah for the Bucks. A lot of
finger pointing and questioning coming up. We'll get more hot
takes on Yannis and people going to all their various
(04:35):
sources because this is my favorite. Like, he's not going anywhere.
I have sources that say he's unhappy and wants to
go I Eventually we're gonna have insiders and NBA scribes
fighting at Center court over Yeah, well my guy's closer
to Yannis. Well my guy may or may not be
his brother, whoa, And then we'll have fights.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Now, you know. You know what the best part of
it's gonna be is that, Like it'll get to that
point and Giannis will ask, look, he's he's got a
contract from that. You can't opt out and go to
free Agency's got to get a trade. He's got to
demand a trade. And we hear varying reports about how
happy he is. But if that happens and Yanna says,
I want out, I want to get somewhere, all of
a sudden, the most upset person in the world is
(05:15):
gonna be Joel embiid because he's going, that's supposed to
be me. That's supposed to be me getting out that
I'm unhappy and I want out. It's supposed to be me.
How is it Giannis all of a sudden, I was
leading up to this moment for so long. Look I
even got suspended when I'm not even playing yet. That's
really hard to do. What I got suspended?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
How is it not me?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yannis is gonna go or I want to go. He's
gonna have all the things I want, and he's gonna
be like Saliarian Amadaeus going, Why is this kid that
gets play the piano that way?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I'm a guy, I.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Study, I knew all this stuff, but look at this
kid just shows up and he plays a piano and
the magic flute and all this stuff. I'm very upset now.
I bet that's what's gonna wind up being that.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And you got the Smurfs and the magic fluted nicely done.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I did. I did. I didn't know if I'd get that,
because you know, you know, I got that in today
because I heard rockeyam Dais for the first time. It
was a good it was a good rock mehama Dais
because it was the one where they had the story
of his life in the middle. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Sixteen forty five, Wolfgang imadais Mozart becomes a freemason.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
You don't often get the free mason. It seems like
they try to avoid that one to go, you know,
into politics, sex, colt swear or any of those kind
of things in our world.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Sixteen fifty five, Mozart Mary's constant Waiver. You know, it's like, oh,
I know all about U days because that's a shit.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
It's funny because I also in my time, i'd had
a you know, Frankie goes to Hollywood Live version of
Relax and it was a video from some performance on
a talk show and out of the out of nowhere
comes Lemmy Killmeister, who grabs the woman that's sitting there
dancing with him and walks off stage with her. So
you never know what you're gonna get in your timeline.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
In September of that same year, Mozart dies, It's like,
oh I had to take it down, didn't you. Okay,
Well that's that's that's the last one. That's the last one.
It's like, I think, honestly, kids would have learned better
that was an unbelievable way to have kids learn about history.
Oh that was just such a one off song in
the eighties that like, you could have done that for anything.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You could have done all did it.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You could have done instead of rock Me Ambi day As,
you could have done rock Me George Washington or something,
and it would have been like the big precursor to Hamilton.
You would have known all about that stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
See, now you've figured out the next next line of
alongside your radio career. When you've got some extra time.
No no, no, stop playing your Spider Solitaire. Now it's
time to learn an instrument and start writing some sick
beats about history.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I'm gonna go learn about das Moti. Really, all that
sounds interesting? What'd you do? I listened to rock Me
Ambi day As forty seven times in a row, and
I wrote down all the infron I couldn't get it
all the first a few times around, but then I
got everything down at the end. I'm gonna study that
now I know it. So if I ever have a
test on Mozart, I know. I mean, I've known Constance
Weber's name since I was sixteen years old. Don't have
(08:04):
me never see what she looks like I did, but
I know constant waiver because of that.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Now an artist surrendering of costance.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
In November of that same year, the Bucks fired Doc Rivers.
Every team could have their own thing.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
In July of that year, the Bucks hired Doc Rivers.
In January the same year, Doc Rivers is fired.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
What's that new compilation album? My here, it's three or
four dislung. It's called timeline.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I mean, look, I don't crack.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Is the timeline of a player or team something or
fall from grace?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Well, that's what it's always. It's always taking flight if
you're new, and it's called a glory if you win
the first time, and return to glory if you're winning
for the second time. Okay, that's like every NFL films
year in review, it's every single one. It's taking flight,
call the glory, return to glory. That's all you have.
That's all you have, because that's all NFL. You're either
(08:59):
starting over and then you know when they show hardly
any highlights from the season, maybe the one or two
games you win, and then all here's but here's a
new coach who has hired here's a draft pick, or
or you win it all, or you're a team that's
won it all before you win it all again. That's
what three ways. That's that's only three teams in the NFL.
You think you guys all these different tiers of teams
as contenders pretenders. No, you're either starting out on your
(09:22):
on your quest to win it all, you win it all,
or you've won it all again. That's it. Three teams.
That's all.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
You really kind of went down and you added a
third category. Otherwise you're really sounded like Ricky Bobby.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Look, tonight's also going to be a big college football
night as well. Coming up in a few minutes, are
gonna preview the biggest games of the weekend, too incredibly
large games to take a look at one as a
loser leave town match when it comes to the playoff.
But you know, right now, big college football game on
Fox tonight, watching Iowa and UCLA, and this game is
tied to ten apiece, and I get to say, Mike,
(09:54):
you know it's I've avoided doing this because I just
feel so bad, you know, living living in LA But
it's really it's time to put UCLA into the sports
Stonehenge Ucla football and go in the Sports Stone what if.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
They get what if they hire Peak the Events?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, I do you gonna say? What if they hire
Pete Carroll?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I I mean, I mean, you know, you know sports
in case you don't know, Sports Stonehenge is what we
refer to as teams who meant something a long time ago,
but no one really understands what it was. No one,
No one really remembers why this team meant so so well,
it meant so much to people because now they're just
a bunch of guys that are the team is in
(10:34):
disrepair and they're not playing well, kind of like you
go to Stonehenge and you go, I don't I don't
know why is this such a big deal? Nobody knows,
but it was a big deal a long time ago.
Like Ucla football at three and five, Uh is there
and it's and it's not gonna get better because in
the Big Ten, like okay, USC can go to the
Big Ten. You can think and maybe uh they could
wind up winning some games. Maybe Lincoln Riley gets it,
(10:54):
you know another you know, one hundred and five hundred
and ten plays go differently. USC is undefeated the last
couple of years. But you know, they tell me, but
UCLA is in here just to get drubbed, Like UCLA's
here for teams to take the trip to LA for
recruiting and all kinds of other reasons. But UCLA football
man sports stonehenge hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah. It's funny, right, because they're playing a bit better
of late, so you know, trying to find some semblance
of consistency. Tonight, running the ball very effectively against Iowa
with about nine minutes left in the first half. It's
now ten to ten with seven minutes remaining, But with
about nine and a half minutes remaining, I scrawled down
the quick little graphic one hundred and six rushing yards
(11:35):
for UCLA to nine from Iowa, and they'd moved the
ball effectively through a pick in the end zone. So,
you know, showing some signs of life. But overall, yeah,
I mean, you got to go back to Kate McNown
to where you had a high flying attack that really resonated,
and coming into the conference, it's all about how you're
(11:56):
going to shift with the difference in and as we know,
the cliche of cliches styles make fights man.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Sports another team welcome welcome. You see it good Sportstone
Inch welcome.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Will they painted blue like you painted it orange when
you visited?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Maybe they might. I was not me the painted I
did go there the week after it got painted orange,
but I did not pay that.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
It was someone ahead.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I was not.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
I'm figuring, all right, I'll have this guy do it,
and then while it's still kind of orange, I'll get
my photo up and nobody will be any of the wiser.
Not me.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Not I was again. I was there the week after
it got painted orange, and they didn't close it down.
The people did it and just kind of sat there,
waited for the police and was like, not that bad,
because I asked the guys when I went there, I said, Hey,
what happened when they painted this thing orange? A couple
of weeks ago? I thought this is gonna be the
most exciting thing ever in Stone It. Dada said, oh, yeah, well,
you know the police game they sat after, and then
you know the paint just kind of fell off after. Yeah,
(12:53):
that's it. Yeah, yeah, okay, it's kind of.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Like the museum folks. When you know these whatever you'd
like to call them, hoodlums is what I call them.
I'm going to an art museum and splash pain or whatever.
And because they're protesting something, nobody gets really excited because
you know what, a lot of times.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
It's a reproduction on the wall UCLA and the Sports Stone.
Henj's so sad. The Jason Special with Mike Carmon live

We're gonna take a look at the two biggest games
in college football coming up in a couple minutes. But first,
(14:59):
U Lakers playing the Sixers tonight. Still know Joel Embiid
still not healthy and not legally cleared to play it
because there's a suspension. But things afoot already with the Lakers.
We talked about this the other night that it just
took two weeks and the Lakers have broken. JJ Reddick right,
very upset with the Angelo Russell pulled him out of
the game, wouldn't really talk about it in detail. The
(15:22):
other night dropped the mic, very upset leaving the press conference.
What he was asked a question about how do you
get through to a guy like D'Angelo Russell. Well, apparently
JJ Reddick is trying because D'Angelo Russell not in the
starting lineup for the Lakers tonight. Instead Cam Reddish x
Nick maybe now good in the starting lineup for the Lakers.
(15:42):
They're leading the Sixers right now twenty one to ten,
so hey, it's working. But this goes into and Cam
Reddish is a guy that just hit a big three. Look,
this goes into where the Lakers are and what they
might need to do at some point during the season.
And look, I've talked about the Angelo Russell. Yeah, oh,
Jeni Ruddy's gonna come in. He's gonna unleas d'An Angelo Russell. Yeah,
(16:05):
you know what if it's if you wanted him to
come in and unleash D'anngelo Russell and Austin Reeves. Yeah, okay,
but these guys have been in the league a little bit, right.
I mean, Reeve's not as much, so maybe he's a
little The younger players are always more open to coaching
and changing. But d' angel Russell's been in the league
a long time. It's his second stint with the Lakers.
He is who he is. You're not gonna suddenly commit
and say, oh, I'll coach that guy up. Yeah. No,
(16:27):
the guy's been in the league for almost a decade now.
He's not gonna suddenly change who he is. This is
what it is to think you're gonna come in and
change that. It's not gonna work younger players. Yeah, And
the best thing for the Lakers to do right now, honestly,
is to get him back to the point where they
where his images is rehabilitated, to where they don't think
there's a problem, because you know, getting benched after two
(16:48):
weeks is not a great look. And he's gotta be
a guy that they dangle with somebody else at the
trade deadline. And I'm telling you, I'm gonna I'm gonna
say it right now because I'm gonna say it between
from now to February, there's gonna be some kind of
trade because you're going to watch the Phoenix Suns kind
of fall out of contention. You see the love fest
that has gone on in the last year, especially with
(17:09):
Kevin Durant lebron Brony taking pictures before the games. Kevin
Durant's going to be a Laker at the trade deadline,
and it's going to be D'angela Russell and another good
player like maybe in Austin Reeves or something else that's
going to go to Phoenix to try to be the
big impetus for the Lakers to get through if the
big trade I'm seeing the deadline. Absolutely, Kevin Durant's going
to be a Laker.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Let's see, we've got eighteen nineteen million dollars thereabouts for
D'angela Russell on that deal. Tonight, Suns with a thriller
ahead of this Laker start fourteen thirteen in the final
over the Mavericks, Durant twenty six, five and four for
the victorious Suns. So eight and one thus far. And
(17:51):
I those trade wins are pretty calm right now. The
flags are hugging the polls.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Wow, Okay, I like that. Now I'm picturing like like
the old uh Yankee Stady when Burman would do the
highlights and go and the New York Football Giants see
the big penance all sway at the top of the stadium.
Gun he goes into the highlight of the game. Sure, sure,
that's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I mean, I really painted a picture for America and
the Globe right there. Our friends in Australia knew exactly
what I was trying to be sure.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Hey, we're afternoon driving Australia. Don't worry about that.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Got it a big deal, no question about it.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
H So again we'll keep updated on this game again.
Eleven point lead by the Lakers. Look, Cam Reddish has
always had the talent, he's just never figured out a
way to put it together. He's a guy that JJ
Reddit could potentially a Let me try to see what
I can do with him, because he's never really had
the chance. But like you think, Oh Russell, he's still young,
he's to it's been around way too long, man, This
is kind of who he is. You have to know
(18:47):
the players that you can mold and get them to
buy in and play, and he's not one of them.
I mean, I don't know, man. I mean, look, you
want him to be some kind of of asset if
you can trade him, and and at this point it's
hey just to get his image to the point where
teams will see him. Oh, if he's thrown into a
deal to make the money work, all that might be
able to be okay for us. And then you have
to throw in another good player with them that people
(19:09):
actually really want, and then you can make that trade
and then it'll work.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I just remember Cam Raddish coming into the league. You
know how young he was and everything else. He turned
twenty five on September first. Yeah, this is his sixth year.
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
It could also be that the Dodgers are at the
game tonight, like Freddie Freeman and a bunch of Dodgers
are at the Laker game, and if the Lakers actually struggled,
just put Freddy Freeman in and then that's all you need.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
That's not a bad way to go. And I mean
a couple of guys were at Disneyland earlier today.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, I mean, it would be tough seeing Freddie Freeman
hobble up and down the court. It would might be
a little bit, but you know, look, he's just gonna
hit a home run, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
You can go on. I mean, he could play like
captain in his final year, find a nice spot on
the court where he's deadly.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
We'll got more basketball coming up throughout the show. Again,
big lead for the Lakers right now over the Sixers
playing without Joel Embiid, without Doc Rivers, without Julius Serving.
I'm trying to think of other dog without Doc. Hollywood
with you guys, So yeah, what do you got to
talk from the seven Dwarfs Sjam Reddish's trade value right now?
Is that an all time high? Yeah, you might be
able to make that trade now for KD Cam Reddish
(20:11):
after another. Who want a sandwich? Cam Reddish and D'Angelo
Russ come out, Let's do it now. It's like those
fantasy trades you have to make when a guy has
a really big game. It's like, if I don't trade
him now and he has a bad game, nobody's gonna
want him. I gotta make that trade now, now, now, now, now, now,
all I eat some spinach and then hit the blue
button in your face.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
In the face, head of face.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
All right, So looking ahead to tomorrow, two big games
on the college football schedule, and one I have to
give credit to even though I have been extremely critical
of them for most of the season and their head coach.
But and it's kind of weird to say this, but
I have to give Deon Sanders in Colorado a lot
of credit because they did something and they've been doing
(20:54):
something I didn't think they could do. They're just playing football.
I didn't think they could do that. I didn't think
Deon Sanders could be someone who was out of the headlines,
who wasn't gonna stir the pot every week with some
kind of controversy, whether it's real or made up, or
it's the media's fault for this. You saw the way
the season started. It looked like it was gonna dovetail
(21:15):
into ridiculousness. And you had Schadur Sanders throwing his offensive
line under the bus after the lost in Nebraska, and
it's all this is gonna be it. But Colorado has
done something I didn't think they could do. They have
just shut up, put their heads down and played great
football the last few weeks to the point now they're
six and two and maybe a little bit inflated. They're
ranking a little bit inflated. Because it's deon its Colorado,
(21:37):
and you do have two of the best players in
the country on your team, and maybe the players are
go one to two in the draft next year with
Travis Hunter and Shadua Sanders. But they're back into the
the fringe of contention for the playoff, and certainly tomorrow's
a big one with Texas Tech because Texas Tech is
pretty good, but their defense is awful. But I gotta
give Colorado credit because I didn't think they could do this,
(22:00):
and can they do it for the rest of the season.
That's the point. But I'll tell you when somebody does something,
I'm wrong. I didn't think they could do this, and
they are.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I just feel pretty good about them. Remember before the
CA State game, I was talking playoffs, talking playoffs. I
went full Jim Mora and then they went out and
lost thirty one to twenty eight to the final, Like,
what the hell are you doing to me? I tried
to build the arc, the bandwagon and get it fired
up somewhere outside of Boulder, and then you go and
lose and people jump back off. But sitting at number
(22:31):
twenty right now, they're in a pretty pretty decent spot.
If they can finish out the slate well playing good
balance football. And the other thing we didn't think they
could do was run the ball with any level of effectiveness.
And they've just gone to the idea of playing balanced football,
something that was not in the offing. And guess what.
It usually helps to preserve your quarterback if you have
(22:53):
a threat of a run game. So Shedor Sanders gets
to remain upright now.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
This game, I'll give you a big ball prediction for
this game tomorrow because Texas Tech defense is absolutely awful.
I mean, I like the I think the over for
this game is like ninety three and a half because
Texas Tech their defense is that bad. I'm gonna say this.
I'm gonna say, Shador Sanders goes for five hundred yards tomorrow,
five five, not four. He goes for five. Because it's
against Burrow, it's a big game, it's national television. All
(23:22):
they're gonna do is throw this is He's gonna go
for five hundred tomorrow and you're gonna see it early.
He's gonna be at like three hundred by halftime. You're
gonna say, Wow, he goes for five hundred tomorrow in
this game.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
I gotta see what his prop bets are sixty two
and a half, four and a half point the the
line of this one. But yeah, sixty two and a half.
We're expecting some offense.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Telling you man, it's he's gonna give me, give me
five hundred yards past.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Their five five bills. I like, I like the Bravado.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I always like five hundo, five hundo, five.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Slapping, five hundred plays five hundred.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Now the game of the week, the game of the week,
which is a loser because I know you love this
game because it is a loser leave town match.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Oh absolutely, old school wrestling at its final.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
You got Alabama LSU. Because the loser with three losses
likely is gonna end up on the outside looking. And
now we talked about this a couple of weeks ago.
The best part of the new playoff is that you
don't know how many losses is gonna knock a team
out of contention. Potentially, there could be room for a
three loss team somewhere, but when you're going one through
(24:30):
twelve and again, it's gonna be different. The top four
seeds are gonna be conference winners. Then you know you're
gonna take the best teams from the other big Power
five conferences. Maybe there's room for one college football team
not in a quote Power five conference, even though there's
not five big conferences anymore. So maybe Boise State's a
way to get in. But you know, you don't know, like,
could you get in with three losses? Yeah? Maybe, but
(24:51):
an SEC team with three losses already isn't gonna get in.
So you're talking about this being a loser leave town
match with Alabama and LSU. And I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna go right back to the well that I
dipped in last week and drag a nice cool trough
of water from I'm gonna say, like I did last week,
I'll pick James Franklin and Penn State to win a
(25:11):
big game. When James Franklin and Penn State win a
big game for the first time in eight years. I
will pick Brian Kelly to win a big game at LSU.
When he wins a big game at LSU. I have
seen Jalen Milroe and Alabama win big games. Yes, they've
been up and down this year, but you know LSU
is gonna have a tough time containing him. Look, every
defense has a tough time containing him. But They're not
(25:33):
really built for what he does. I will take Jalen
Milroe in this game. They won't be able to do anything.
And LSU kind of finds ways to lose games like this.
We've seen this in the Brian Kelly era. So for me,
it's mill Row and it's Kelly and Kleen de Boor
gets a big win. They are really desperate, and I'm
gonna go with the team with the better quarterback and
(25:53):
the team that I've seen win big games like this.
It's got to be shown if LSU wins tomorrow and
basically eliminates Alabama. Okay, hey, but until Brian Kelly wins
a game like that, I'm going with Alabama.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah. So here's one of these stats. As you go
and dig into this game, LSU is only giving up
four stacks and eight games twenty four tackles for loss altogether,
and we know the strength of the Alabama off That's
one that means nuts Meyer's just making bad decisions with
the football because he's got nine picks on the ear.
I trust that they can't run the football only one
(26:26):
hundred and fifteen yards per game on the ground. And
to your point, Brian Kelly's a guy that'll find his
way to have sour face on the sidelines at the end. Yeah,
give me Alabama big in this one, especially because they
get to embarrass LSU in front of a live tiger. Now,
I did find the line for you, and I could
wager on it for you if you're feeling good about
(26:48):
it in the in the fun and exciting world of
our apps. Three twenty seven and a half, that's the
passing yard over under for shud Or Sanders.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Oh, I thought that. I thought you were gonna that's
how many That's how many people the live tigers could be,
uh could be afraid of injuring if he gets out.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Well, I mean we did see the report that allegedly
the handlers have had on two occasions the tiger get free.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, that's not a great thing that you're gonna bring
a tiger to a to a place where there's gonna
be sixty thousand people and these are people that have
lost track of a tiger before.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Yeah, you don't get three. I mean he's not at
three strikes yet. I mean he could fall tip it
where I mean, maybe the chains a little longer.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Jay. They thought instead he could be at three stripes
on this tiger. I mean really, I mean, hey.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
What you did.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
We're gonna bring a ti a live tiger to the game.
That's great. Yeah, but here's the thing, the people bringing
up that they've lost tigers before.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Yeah, there's lots of allegations of mistreatment and abuse. But yeah,
let's do that.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
We're gonna bring a tiger we haven't fed in a while,

Tirech dot Com Studios. We'll give your upset special picks
in the NFL coming up in a couple of minutes.
But this story today the boy. You know, it's kind
it's always kind of fun, uh, when a phrase or
a word suddenly becomes synonymous with a team or were
(33:00):
an individual in sports. The Yankees have decided to bring
Aaron Boone back for next season, which you think, well,
it made it to the World Series. Yah, yeah, yeah,
But now they've decided they're gonna bring him back. They
made it to the World Series, which tells you what
they think of Aaron Boone, his tenuous hold on the team.
That he gets to the World Series and there's not
(33:21):
an announcement then hey, we're gonna pick up your option.
All this now, obviously they're hoping to work with him
on a new contract, but you don't announce that like
the day after the World Series. We're gonna wait a
while and talk about it and say hey, we're bringing
you back just for next year. As good of a
season as the Yankees had look winning the Pennant, getting
to the World Series before they throw up on themselves.
(33:42):
I'll tell you what, man, lazy Yankees is gonna follow
them and follow this team and follow Aaron Boone, I
mean Joe Kelly sounding that out, saying, hey, we beat
the yank We knew we were gonna win. The Yankees
you could see their stars. They were lazy. Miguel Rojas
does a podcast and says, yes, Yankee were lazy, even
though it's not quite accurate. Lazy Yankees. That's now this team,
(34:06):
that's now the image and the impact when you saw
them puke all over the front of their jerseys during
the World Series, really during the playoffs too, but just
you didn't pay attention because they kept winning somehow. But
seeing that happen, they're gonna be tagged with that lazy
Yankees moniker into the offseason into next season until they
prove they're not. And it really is something that just
(34:28):
really quick, all of a sudden this past week, Wait, Yankee,
No lazy Yankees, that's what's happening.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Lazy Yankee. The companion piece to the classic Damn Yankees
opening off Broadway twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Asking TJ, can you take us high enough and fly
us over yesterday in the World Series, TJ.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Nice, nicely done. But yeah, Lazy Yankees, I mean it
rights itself. It becomes the moniker. How you didn't extend
pickup options whatever during the playoff run is just laughable,
Like it's a non story's so, yeah, we're crushing why bother?
So when you do it at this point, it's either
he thought he had leverage to get more money and
years out of you, which is kind of funny, or
(35:11):
and options out out there, or you really are sending
the message that you're settling, because that's all you're doing
at this point a wee a week and a half
after the season ends. It's saying, all right, he's good enough,
as opposed to that's our guy. Look at the effort.
We're getting a wait, I said effort.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
See, that's the whole thing about lazy. The effort's a
big thing with lazy.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
I tried to sell it and then I walked right
into my own trap. By the way, we also I
mean showing people can change, though, and that's the hope
for the Yankee fans for next year. That no longer
can they be tabbed as lazy. I just saw D'Angelo
Russell save a ball from going out of bounds. Get
the ball back. Wait, and then he drove the length
(35:56):
of the court and hit a layup.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Wow, maybe he does want to stay. And then he
ran over to Mookie Betts and sold the trophy. Yeah,
the Dodgers brought the World Series Trophy to the game tonight.
They just go to the game. They all brought the
World Series Trophy.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
That's bold. Yeah, Lebron put it on his head like
a crown.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I can see that happening. I can see him trying
to dribble down the flacy. He just breaks the bottom
of it off and puts it on his head. I
can see that. Uh so we'll have more basketball on
the way again. A nine point lead for the Lakers
right now over the seventy six ers. But Mike and
I do it every week, we give your upset special picks.
In college football and the NFL, I took a really
(36:35):
bad LS, one of the toughest beats of the last
few years. I had Duke getting twenty one, and come on, man,
I was winning like forty nine seventeen In the fourth
quarter you were and I lost. That was an awful,
awful beat. But putting my fourteen and five record on
the line is still a great record. Still very happy.
Uh give me the Pittsburgh Steelers getting two and a
(36:59):
half over Washington in the other game of the week.
But you're looking at the NFL as we going wow, man,
yeah Pittsburgh, and yeah, who knew, But that's the game
of the week. Look, Pittsburgh's defense is really physical. It's
one of the top defenses in the NFL. They get
after the quarterback, they make plays. They're going to do
that to Washington. They're going to force turnovers. There will
(37:22):
be short fields for Russell Wilson. Won't be a lot
of points in this game, because, look, the Steelers don't
allow a lot of points. And I'd be really surprised
if if Jayden Daniels goes up and down the field
against the Steelers and goes four touchdowns and two hundred
and fifty yards passing and seventy five yards rushing, I'll say, yeah,
put him at the front of the list for MVP.
But I don't see that happening. And the Steelers are
(37:42):
gonna have enough because defensively. This is gonna be a
bit of an education and adjustment for Washington. The Steelers win,
and I'll give you a big bold prediction. Mike Williams
scores his first touchdown for the Steelers. Red zone or
moon ball, No, no, no, red zone, red zone. I
don't think he's enough to get in and play enough
between the twenties. But red zone where they play red
(38:04):
zone touchdown for Mike wad Oh.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
The way Russ throws a deep ball though you got
plenty of time to track it. This isn't a red line,
Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Kate doesn't know where the red line. The red line's the.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Same mids, and he needs to know the red line.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
He needed a team. You gotta know the red line.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Red one's out there with a laser pointer to him.
Run the red line like he's the fox going to
steal stuff in Ocean's twelve.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Don't tell anybody, but you're gonna see. We got we
got one of our We got one of the interns
who's gonna train the laser pointer. Just follow the laser
pointer down the field and when you don't see it,
turn around for the ball. Okay, just follow the laser
pointer and then turn around for the ball when you
don't see it. It will get completion every time.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
It's superimposing the route grid onto the field. I love that,
all right. I am going to take the short home dog.
I'm gonna take two first. I'm gonna take Arizona to
beat your Jets, with James Connor and Trade Benson being
the guys that lead the way forty six and a
half year total Kyler Murray uh won't be able to
(39:06):
do much against the past defense, but he won't need
you because they're gonna be able to run. And then
I'm gonna take New England to beat the Bears out right.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Oh no, no, no, no, you can't do that, man,
that you're just you're just saying that because you're mad
at the Bears. I'm not gonna allow you to make
that pick. I'm not. I'm gonna, Hey, best friends talk
each other out of bad ideas. I'm gonna not allow
you to make. I'm gonna talk to you. I know
you're emotional, I know it's I know you're upset. I'm
not gonna allow you.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
To make a last case of emotions.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
I'm not gonna lie. The first one is fine, I'm
not here be bad. I know, I understand this, but
you have to be emotionless on this. I can't allow
you to make that pick.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
I he made me walk the beach and I missed
my feelings.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Gotta pull that back, man. That doesn't count. That does
not count.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
So there's our official upset special picks. Uh Bears Patriots, Bears,
Patriots does not count. Uh. That's it. Out about a
Fresco exit swollen down the Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Mike Carbon. Coming up, we'll take a look
at this weekend. Two NFL teams who may, by the
end of the year be two of the best teams
in the league overall. That's next, Fox,
