is the way tire buying should be. And yes, we
have a full slate of NBA to get to tonight.
We got big stuff out of the NFL. But let's
understand that today, really earlier, today was about one thing.
The McRib is back. In less than two weeks, we'll
(01:05):
be back.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Into it again.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Something that passes understanding why it's so popular.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
But the McRib is back in two weeks, getting.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
People like being taunted about things coming back into their
lives and leaving for a moment, right it stee, We're
getting ready for Thanksgiving. What happens at Thanksgiving? People go home,
They go to the local bars, they go to the
local restaurants. Maybe they have meetups at their old high
schools or whatever, and maybe they think that those old
flames still burn.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Much like that is the McRib that you come back
for it one more time and then you take a bite,
you say this sucks, and then you walk away, just
like all those old flames that you run into and
you realize, bad idea, man, bad idea.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Why are you yelling?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
We're not even a minute into the show and you're
yelling crazy about the mccrib.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
What is wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
What is what is that?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
We just started the show Man with the bold Scots
wronged by the Bucks. Literally it went final as I'm
sitting here and I'm salty because they then put up
a little picture of your guy brunts in which means
it's Nicks, Nicks Nicks the rest of the night.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
So yeah, I'm on edge, I'm on tilt already.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Wow, I thought you're gonna say they put him a
picture of Doc Rivers, and it was yet another win
by Doc Rivers over the Bulls.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
No, I don't know that I've seen a picture of
Doc in a while. Here, Okay, they're showing everybody else.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
I've seen the last man on the bench more than
i've seen Doc tonight. It's almost like they were told,
don't show him, don't show him, don't show them.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
He's just gonna say thing. Ah.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So yeah, look big night in the NBA. Yes, the
Knicks and the Suns are coming up.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
So you said it. I didn't want you said it.
I didn't. I did.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
It was a nice little picture of Brunson that suddenly
crept into the corner of my television.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Uh sure.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And really, you know another thing we're seeing right now is, boy,
the seventy six ers are really want to lead that
race for all the Cooper flag ping pong balls they
could possibly get as they are getting thumped by the
Grizzlies by twenty Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Midway through the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
And look, you know something we're gonna put it up
today and is you know we talked about it last
night the Joel embiid, I mean the time in Philadelphia.
It's just it's just coming to an end, right. We
talked about that it's more a fadea complete than it
is anything else. He's got to come back and play
well for a little while and then it will be
easy for them to deal him. He's got twenty nine tonight.
(03:22):
He's having a pretty decent night, but it doesn't matter
because the Sixers are getting drilled by twenty.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well, George left with injury.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Yes, yeah, you rebound corralled it and they're like, oh,
he's gonna turn to go up court and just stopped
on a dime. That was it, Like oh okay, so
there you go. Now you had the under at fifteen games.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
We talked about last night about where things are at
with and the promos running on Fox Sports Radio now
about how, hey, when you're getting called out and you're
supposedly the MVP and the leader of this team, which
is not and you get called out by somebody else
about your effort, you haven't really played, you're still not
in shape, you're injury, you're in and out of the lineup.
How much longer is this really going to go? In Philadelphia?
(04:04):
They're going to move on. Both sides need a fresh start,
But what's going to accelerate this timeline, Because yes, it
could be done by the trade deadline in February, or
it could be something that happens after the season, when
the Sixers get an idea of what they want to
do moving forward. But what's going to accelerate this is, Hey,
even with them beating the lineup, you go out and
(04:24):
get drubbed every night. Okay, just can't keep doing that
in perpetuity, right, It's only going to go for so long,
and then we're gonna get out of the holidays and
after Christmas it's going to be, Okay, New Year, Let's
see where we're at. And if we're you know, six
and twenty five or whatever it's going to be, it's
time to go. It's time to make a move because clearly,
even with him back, there's no energy. We're losing big
(04:44):
to teams that we shouldn't be losing big two and
so it's time for us to make this move. So
if you the more games you see like this from
the Sixers, that's going to hasten the Jewel MB trade,
which again, it's going to happen. It's just a matter
of when trade deadline now or the end of the year.
Is playing well tonight and the better he plays for
a short amount of time, And think what the Sixers
are hoping. If we're gonna do this and we're gonna
(05:07):
make a move, he needs to play well for a
short period of time and we need to get killed
every game, and so tonight that's kind Hey, all right,
he's shooting well. He's got twenty nine points tonight. All right,
he's moving okay, and we're losing by twenty. This is
gonna foster this going Bay. That's exactly what we want, Joelle.
We want you to be really good and we want
to keep losing so we can make that trade.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Yeah, you get the audition and proof of concept there is.
He's back, he's healthy. Let's go, let's make something happen.
Twenty nine and nine to nine of eighteen, shooting perfect
from the line. Tyrese Maxi also made it back in
and look, man, this is not exactly a fully loaded
grizz team that they're getting drum by either.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Right.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
John Moran is still not part of the equation here.
You got Desmond Vaines, got nineteen, Jaron Jackson, I mean
you got a solid jam, right, Brandon Clark's back in
in the lineup all that, but you're a LIT one
super star isn't even there and they're still up twenty
on you. So so what does that tell you where
you're at in this process? Because even though Paul George left,
you did have at least for the moment. You're the
(06:10):
term that we used to use all the time. Remember
we killed it big three and you still got your
ass kicked. So all of that to say, here you go,
he's healthy, he's motivated for the moment, Come and get him.
I'd be the used car lot kind of thing right
now here. It still runs, still runs sometimes sometimes you
(06:30):
gotta kick it. Sometimes you gotta pump the gas three times,
turn the key halfway, turn it back, and then really
turn it as fast as you can and maybe it'll catch.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
That's where we're at with Joel Embiid.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It's all of more NBA on the way, but trust me,
it's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Em BEI.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
If you if you want to see our take on
it last night, it's up there Fox Sports Radio on
Twitter and I just reposted as well as you can
catch our best of there.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
It's over on Instagram as well at Jason Mike Show.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
On the Gram, you gotta say on the Gram, on
the Gram, you gotta say on the graund. Did they
still say on the Gram on the ground you're the.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Arbiter of things a little younger than us.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
What are you saying the gun?
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Yes, they still say the Gram.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
They still no, no, no, on the Gram.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Not on the Gram, just the Gram.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Just the Gram.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
But it's got to be something. You can't just say
it's the great. You gotta say it's on the Gram.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
So on the ground, well, somewise you might just be
trying to buy something on or buy the graund.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
No, no, no, no, you're you just say check the Gram?
What was that? What was that thing?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
For a few years ago, that was the viral sensation
where it was they did a challenge text your mom
or dad justice and see what they write back, and
it was for two grams is forty dollars and then
just see what they write back.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Well that came back. It was expensive.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Saffron as I went to make my holiday roles.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
But I always like, and I think all of us
like it, when other people get an understanding of what
your world is like, like you know, you to you
always say you know, walk a mile in my shoes.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
I understand what my life is like.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And it's really dim. You know, it's hard to do that.
You have to try to understand where things are coming
from from other people. Every time someone says something or
does something, I try to think of it from their perspective.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
But it's really hard.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I go, okay, really to I don't get exactly what,
you know, what really motivates them or what what affects
them every day. And today, for me was one of
those days where I think many people understood, oh, this
is what Jason's life is like, because today was the
day that everybody found out, Oh my goodness, Jets owner
Woody Johnson is like a lower profile Jerry Jones. That's
(08:37):
why the Jets don't when now I understand because he
wanted to bench Aaron Rodgers in week four and had
a meeting with everybody because he called for a practice,
not the coaches, not the GM. He called for a
practice though, because that was a day he was going
to fire Joe Douglas. Like these are the things that
Woody Johnson does, like like he's too obsessed with social media.
So let's make a trade. Let's go get Davonte Adams.
(08:59):
Let's go get Mike Williams, go get these guys. Like
people now understanding, Oh now I know, Oh man, I
feel bad for Jason because now I know why the
Jets don't win because that Woody Johnson is Jerry Jones,
not Jerry Jones life because some of the stuff he's doing, whooh,
it is one comparable to Jerry Jones, sometimes even worse
than Jerry Jones. But like cause I don't think Jerry
Jones ever had a meeting about benching dak when he
(09:20):
wasn't playing well. But like the fact that he does it,
he's been able to do it more lower profile, like
people are just finding out now going, oh man, I
just I walk that mile on Jason's shoes today and
not I completely understand and feel for him because yeah,
he's got he's got Jerry a low profile Jerry Jones
as his owner.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
It's funny because it's been happening in plain sight in
New York and New Jersey for how long now, right,
But because Jerry is over the top P. T. Barnum
on steroids as we've called it low so many years.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And then you add.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
The sounding dumpster fires that have been Cleveland and Chicago
and Jacksonville. Like Jacksonville doesn't get much much run. But
because of Shod Cohn and his son in ae W,
they're getting a little more juice and all of this
stuff now. But yeah, but because of Jerry Jones and oh,
(10:19):
I forgot Mark Davis. Can't forget Mark Davis. So Mark
Davis and Jerry Jones are atop the metal stand. So
Johnson's been able to kind of work in quasi anonymity
because it's just the brand as opposed to the owner
up front, because he hasn't been standing in front of
a microphone and waving at you, or sitting there with
a bowl cut, or being Jerry Jones showing up on
(10:41):
radio multiple.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Times each week.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Yeah, it is now painfully apparently obvious for everybody else.
And now they've walked a mile in your shoes, which
means those shoes have one point two miles walked in them.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I mean, look, and this is what I always say,
one point to walk, I count my steps. I walk
as hey, i got to one hundred steps, I got
to a thousand steps. I'm feeling good for I'm gonna
sit down done. I've done my steps. I'm feeling really good.
Ten thousand steps to that you mean every two days? No,
ten thousand steps in a day. Oh yeah, okay, not happening.
But look, show Bob. It's and the thing that baffles me.
(11:19):
And this is what happens. And this is why why
you can compare, when you compare Woody Johnson and Jerry Jones. Said, Hey,
for a long time, Jerry Jones was successful, right, like, Hey,
you know, Jimmy Johnson, they won super Bowls. They won
with Barry Switzer. They still were a yearly threat to
get to the super Bowl. But then as time went
on and he got more and more comfortable in his
(11:39):
role and more and more comfortable with making decisions and
cutting people out of the loop and and shortening and
having short cuts towards doing things. You know, it's one
of those leeching processes where little by little suddenly oh man,
the last ten fifteen years, everything Jerry Jones has done
has been terrible. Right, where whereas the beginning it was, Hey,
there's other people that were and they were involved as
(12:02):
he was, and he you know, when you don't know
what you don't know. But as time goes on, hey,
I'm into more of the ownership part of this, and
I'm making these big decisions and now I'm in in
the last ten fifteen years for the Cowboys have been brutal, right,
And it's the same thing for the Jets, because Woody
Johnson took over. Up until you know, ten twelve years ago,
things were pretty good, right. The Jets were making the
playoffs basically every other year, and it was great.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
We didn't go far.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
We went to two AFC title games and twenty eleven
and twenty twelve, which is awesome. But you know, after
that happened, and Rex Ryan got fired, Like Woody Johnson is,
his control over the team has gotten so much to
the point where he's making all of these personnel decisions.
And he cut Joe Douglas out of the loop on things.
And Joe Douglass we found out today. Let me read
the reports today. Joe Douglas. Hey, I got a trade
(12:45):
on the table. I could get Jerry Bleep and Judy
for Allan Lazard to pick. No, don't want to do it.
Oh okay, Well, let's get us on Reddick. I think
I can get him in. No, we're not giving him money.
Oh okay. Like the stuff that he has done has
just cut the Jets at the knees. And and it
happens when when owners get older and they get more
full themselves in their power, they just get more involved.
(13:05):
They don't get less involved because they realize, this is
my dark side of the moon.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
This is what I'm leaving.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
This is what I'm leaving is my legacy, and I
want to get more involved in it, and people shouldn't
be involved in it. It's why I say, you can
get past a lot of things, but you will not
get past a bad owner, bad GM, bad head coach,
bad manager, bad starting pitcher, bad closer, bad quarterback, bad
running back. You'll get by. You have, bad power forward,
you'll get by. Bad goalkeeper you'll get Eventually, they'll all
get replaced. Bad owner. And look where you're at, and
(13:32):
you'd see why the Jets have been an absolute dumpster
fire and the worst team in the NFL for the
last decade plus is because stuff like this has happened.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I mean, the whole benching Aaron Rodgers thing.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I'm like, Okay, that's insane, but at least I understand
the part of the conversation where he wanted to at
least throw that out there. But the part where I
want to call for a practice and I want the
Jets to practice during the bye week, Like.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
What the hell are you doing?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Man?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
These are decisiones. I go, what.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
The owner gets to set the practice when they should practice? Really,
that's the owner's I want to have a practice today
because I'm firing the general manager.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
I think we should practice during the biby.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Like that's where I go, oh, man, we're it's just
never getting any better and it's just gonna be third
or fourth place in the AFC East the rest of
my life.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Man who writes all the checks and decided that he
wanted to use a little Vegas misdirection. But to the
to the point about Jerry Jones, because even like since
twenty fourteen, they've had six double digit win seasons, yet
it's been seen as nothing but an absolute tale what
tire fire the entire time, right, it's just but with
(14:40):
the Jets, like we gotta go back to the Mark
Sanchez two years and otherwise it's little spurts here and there,
but never really consistently through a season to where they're contending.
So that's where if Woody Johnson had taken up some
of the oxygen. Now, remember he was out of the
country for a couple of years, so he wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Chris.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
You know, I thought we'd win. I thought we'd win
with him out of the country. His brother's running the team.
Now we're gonna be good.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Nope.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I'm stunk then too.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
But I bet you he was up in the you
know wee hours of the morning, and and when they
came to work, he had his directives.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Here's the practice kid. No, No, he's gottack. I watch
I'm on season two of The Diplomat. I know that
Carrie Russell's got a lot of stuff going on. Man,
she's got no time to watch football. If the Jets rotch,
she's got no time for that.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Man.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
It's it's enough to get her on a plane to
go back to Washington, to get yelled at by the
Secretary of State, then sorry spoiler, and.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Then go back to London. No, he's got no time
for that, man. There's no time. There's all kinds of
crazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Going on, always in meetings.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
But you know what might just have that extra you know,
burner phone, that's going back to Jets. Jets head square,
you call me and you tell me who the started
quarterback is.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
It's like when they're when they're tech.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
When they're texting in uh in moneyball, when when Joonah
Hill tells tells Billy Bean h payn you again at
first base?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Okay, and he throws the.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Yep Like Woody Johnson, I really did not like the
footwork of the left tackle on that second down play.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Welcome to my world, Hey understand, walk a mile in
my shoes. This is what it's like.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Many Good luck with that Bundy exit. How about a

Speaker 1 (17:44):
I mean, look, we're not always just about sports and
McRib no. We get to the big issues that happened,
and there was look nothing today crazier than ESPN insider
Adam Schefter, who did an interview and was asked, Hey,
what's the weirdest place you've ever broken news from? And
(18:06):
I'm sure the answer is expected to be I was
in the toilet, I was sleeping, I was I was
doing high knees at thirty thousand feet.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Oh, you know you're gonna get one of those answers.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
You're showering and maybe you have ray Leota.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Jimmy and hey, like, I remember Jay Glazer once breaking
breaking news when he was doing an interview.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
On local TV here in La. I think you know
what it was.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
It was when he was in the Breakable right, you
just opened Unbreakable right his big gym, and local channel
channel eleven Fox here in La was doing an interview
with him, and so it's like, you know, Jay's an
Unbreakable and they have the reporter there with him, and
then they have people in the studio, and then it
was it was part where the people in the studio
were asking Jay Glazer a question and they asked Jay
about Unbreakable and he's nodding his head and he looks
(18:51):
down at his phone, and he looks back up and
he looks back he looks back down his phone, looks
like he says, hey, sorry, guys, I missed that question,
but I had to. But I had to look at
this because and when ever it was, you know, the
the packers just signed so and so in free agency,
uh you know three years uh, you know, thirty five
million dollars. There you go, breaking news for you right
here on the show. And then I had no idea
what he was talking about, Like, I don't I don't
(19:12):
know one of the one of the Green Bay Packers.
I don't understand is that a.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
He's like, okay, great, six Okay, So now ask me
the question again.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Then I asked me a question about Unbreakably but like,
remember he broke that news on the show.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
But then Adam Schefter gave his answer today and it
was you know, very uh uh.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
It didn't seem like he wanted to say it, but
then at the end absolutely said it. He said that
he had met a girl and he was with her
for the first time in Denver, long time ago, where
Dale Carter had gotten suspended by the NFL for uh
substance abuse adamily He was an eight game suspension at
the time. So hey, Dale Carter getting dragged into the
(19:51):
story and he said he was right after he was
with this woman that he met for the first time
and laying there he broke the news and then say
he got the job done in every way possible. Adam
Schefter breaking news in the bedroom.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
I'm gonna guess he's told that story over a round
of beers many many times. The entire time. You're thinking
of Christian Bale staring at the mirror and.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Settled in American and that's delivering the news.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I mean, I'm just wondering, like was it like cause
you know, because like Jay always tells us, you got
to live with your phone next to you, and I
tell everybody you know, my phone is it's it's my lifeline,
it's everything else.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Like was it right after? Like was it dooring?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Like did they have to stop and hang on, hang on,
hang on? I'm sorry, Yeah, Dale Carter got suspend.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Who the hell is Dale Carter? I'm sorry, Dale Carter
got I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I just got to give me a minute, Just give
me a right here, hang on a second, and uh okay, okay,
let's go back to it.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Let's go back to it or did it happen right?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Dale could be either a man or a woman's name too.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Did you check the phone? Who was Dale Carter?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Dale Carter?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
And what does it mean they're suspended?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Dale Carter got spending? Okay, yeah, you're lying to me.
I knew it right here now.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Of course our guy Glazer had to.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Come back over the top, yeah, by saying who hasn't
I tell you who hasn't done that. We'll have to
ask Jay about that this week when we talked to
him tomorrow night. Hey, Jay, you give us a story
now when you broke news that way, you think he'll
tell us?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Or no, you think he'll tell us.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
You think Rosie'll be standing over his shoe.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Maybe he goes, hey guy, let me go to the
other part of the house. Or I do this part
of the interview and tell you about the story here.
Hang on second, hang on. You know I did have
a life before you, just so you know, I just
my life before you was able to get out and
about I was.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
I was who I was, and that's that's kind of
all I can tell you.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Uh, I really, I mean, I I don't is someone
like Schefter or Jay or whoever, Like, do you get
really distracted, like when it's going on and the phone,
it's like like you start looking over like was the
phone on silent and it was vibrating or was the
phone like was it like the ring came out and
it was you know, like mop like like on house,
(22:03):
like it was some kind of personalized ring.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
You just gave us five jokes and double entendres there.
We haven't even thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
It was good.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I've been thinking about the story today. Look, there's so
many different things. There's so many different parts with that.
I want to understand about that. Like I like I
cause I would say, like, hey, this Dale Carter thing
might become a staring at my phone looking back at her,
staring at my phone, looking back, staring at my phone
looking back.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
It's another walk a mile in my shoes moment like
you brought up earlier. Okay, breaking news finds me at
any time of the day, and I've got to be ready.
This is why they pay me the big bucks to
break news that other people are going to aggregate and
spit out as their own fourteen seconds later.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Sorry, I really gotta get to this because Ian Rapaport's
then again say that he had it and I had
this first, I'm not I in Rapaport.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Hey, you're right, you're not even rap I am not
say it to me. I'm not in Rappingport. Yes it's okay, Okay,
you're not even Rappaport. I understand. I understand, like like.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
That may be the strangest thing to ever in a decade.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
IM not I in Rappaport. You understand. I'm not I
in Rappaport. Yes, yes, you're not even Rappaport.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yes, I know. Okay, all right, I understand. Need a minute,
you have to break this tow. Okay, we're fine, We're fine.
Because that's the other part that I started thinking is,
you know, the other part of this is how did
she feel about it? Like was it like was she like, oh, dude,
can you not look at your phone? Can you not
look at your phone as a or was it like,
you know, kind of a hey, you're gonna break news
while Oh that's I've never had never done that before. Okay,
it's a big news. Oh it's only Dale Carter getting suspended.
(23:33):
I thought it would be like, oh, but I mean
she still has a story forever. Yeah, thought I thought
it would be you know Tom Brady, you know Patriots
changing quarterback.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
From bled So to Brady.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
You know, because this is because this is in two thousand,
so I'm thinking back to things that could happen in
two thousand. It would be a oh hey, it's been
of a quote sexier story than you know.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
It's Dale Carter get it suspended.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Oh this is also long before he was a too
common kid on an annual basis from breaking news. This
is true later on, I mean this, Yeah, that guy's
a big deal. Now you know what he once did.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Hey, come on, tell that story about the time. No,
I don't want to tell that story. Come on, just
tell it. It's a great story.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Now tell everybody how you know Adam Fine, tell him
how you know?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
A darn Schefter? And I want to tell you how
the I was the first. I was a second person
to know Dale Carter got suspended for eight games for peds.
You want to know, you want to know it's the
second person to know that.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Well, actually third person, because someone texted Adam Schefter and
then probably he probably told her and then.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I got I gotta.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Look at Dale.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Dale Carter had to be sitting around today going why
is my phone blowing up? I don't understand. Why are
people called? What is something happened? And he's he's on
all the blogs like okay, let me let me check.
Let me check Yard Barker, let me check dead Spin,
let me check, let me check all these different sites.
Did something happened?
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Is there a story whenever? Oh oh oh oh oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Anybody reach out to Dale Carter Smith? Did you reach
out to him?
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Reach out to the uh you know? I want? I
wonder is Dale Carter gonna end up on a on
a Fox? Like? Is Dale Carter gonna be on Dan
Patrick tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Could be on Dan Patrick?
Speaker 4 (25:15):
You know, is he is? He gonna be on Dale
Carter tomorrow? Done?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Dan Patrick tomorrow. I could see that. I could see
that happened. Definitely happen.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Wait it back up. But I mean, I don't know
what you say, Hey, yeah, how's your life going?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Like?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
How are things?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
You know?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
I mean, okay, you know what what's going on?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
What'd you think of when schefter had to like he
had to bring up like why did he bring up
Dale Carter?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Like?
Speaker 4 (25:36):
I don't know why you had to bring up Like
I broke.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
A piece of news and this happened after, you know,
woman and I had gotten together and had Why did
they have to bring Dale Carter into it?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
It was Dale Carter and.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Not just Dale. It was Dale Carter. Dale Carter getting
suspended for proble. No, no, no, I'm gonna I'm gonna
throw throw you under the bus with that right there.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
But when it really when you started this top it
sounded like something straight out of The Newlywed Game?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Where is the strangest place that.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
You've made? Whoopee?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Len's the last time your mother in law walked in
on you making whoopee? Now, I gotta explain the Generation
X what the Newlywed Game was? Okay, it was a
TV bring it back at some point? Did they bring
back the Newlywed Game?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I gotta think they had to know.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I mean, Bob Eubanks had that great hand, that great papadoor.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
That was awesome. Yeah, oh he was great.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
No, he still does the show because he was part
of the original British Invasion stuff with launching the Beatles
in the US. Bob eu Banks was yeah, no, yeah,
he was a DJ. So he does he does stuff
way back from back in the day. He couldn't he
couldn't get a better gig than hosting the Newlywed game,
like that was. That was where the Beatles came on,
went on the Global superstartup, and he hosted the Newlywed game.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Damn it, he had a good run.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
I mean, this story, this story is just insane.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I mean, the thing is, I could actually picture it happening,
like I could pick reaching for the funk guy got
to stop wait for okay, fine, Like I can see
it like as part of a you know what I
would picture you know, it would be great if this
is it was a scene in a movie.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
You know'd be great playing Adam Schefter. Jason Siegel.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Jason Siegel would be great if they that was in
a movie and he was playing in NFL ins If
they made a movie about the NFL insider, Jason Siegel
would be great in that scene.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Schefter's appeared in movies, right.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yeah, yeah, but he's he's appeared as himself. I mean,
like if you know Jason Siegel, that was he was
the main character, like kind of like, you know, we
need another Jerry Maguire movie where it's about sports, but
not really you know what.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
He's an insider.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Breaking news and that happens, and Jason Siegel would pull
that scene off.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
I'm gonna write that AI movie by time we get
back on air tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (27:42):

Okay, I'll come all right, all right, Well, Jason and
your knicks are winning right now against Breeze Sons. It's
forty two to twenty six less than one minute ago.
In the first quarter of this one, the Hawks are
losing to the Warriors forty one to twenty two. After
the first quarter, the Cavaliers already crushed the Pelicans one
twenty eight to one hundred. If you didn't know who
was playing for the Pelicans, none of us did because
(29:45):
they have eight players on the injury report, including CT McCollum,
de Jontaey, Murray, Brandon and Grim and Zion Williamson. So yeah,
Ty Jerome led the way with twenty nine points for
the Calves.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
There.

The Bucks defeated the Bulls one twenty two to one
oh six. Yannasant toomb forty one points, nine rebounds and
eight assists in the win. The Rockets beat the Pacers
one thirty to one thirteen, and the Grizzlies outscored the
seventy six ers one seventeen to one eleven. Paul George
left in the fourth quarter. You guys were talking about
it with a hyper extended knee, the same knee he
hyper extended a month ago. So there we go. Two
points and four rebounds for Paul George in the loss.
(30:18):
The Thunder top the Trailblazers one oh nine ten ninety nine.
Yukon women's basketball coach Gino Ariema is officially the winningest
coach in NCUBA history with one two hundred and seventeen wins.
After the Huskies defeated Fairley Dickinson eighty five to forty one.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
He surpasses Stanford legend Tara van Derveer.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
So that's eleven nc DOUBLEA titles, twenty three Final four appearances,
and twenty eight conference regular season titles. Congratulations to him.
Let's check in in the NHL right now, the Stars
are beating the Sharks five to two thirty seconds to go,
and that one Predators and Cracking are scoreless halfway through
the first period. The Maple Leafs defeated the Golden Knights
three zero, and the Hurricanes beat the Flyers four to one.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
And in baseball, we've got.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
Some cy Young Award winners.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
That is right.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
Detroit Tigers Trek Scubel was named the unanimous al Cy
Young Award winner and Braves pitcher Chris Sail was named
the National League Cy Young Award winner.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Back to you guys, thanks a bunch, mon jeez, hey,
really quick.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
He congratulates the gino Orima again as you just heard
Mancy talk about it. Twenty three final fours, fifteen in
the last sixteen years, win streaks of ninety eight, one
hundred and eleven games, like what he has done. Like,
just to think about what he's done for a second,
you think about winning streaks of ninety eight hundred eleven
games like the stuff that Gino Oriema has done throughout
his career at Yukon, and he kind of doesn't get
(31:37):
the credit that he should deserve because the popularity of
women's basketball. He's kind of the conduit, right, Like he's
the guy that was the main He and Pat Summit
were the main coaches when women's college basketball, which is
the biggest women's sport, went from hey, you know what
sport is going to break through and suddenly a okay,
women's college basketball gets kind of a seat at the table,
(31:58):
and it became a pretty popular in the two thousands
and the twenty tens and Obviously the Yukon Tennessee rivalry
made it a big deal. But now the last few
years where it's absolutely exploded to the point where it's
outrating college basketball on television. Obviously a lot thanks to
Caitlin Clark, but we have a lot of great players
that are coming to the WNBA now that we care
(32:20):
about liking, and and Geno Oriema's got Paige Becker's and
you know Juju Watkins here in usc like the superstars
just keep coming now like it's become bigger.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Than it ever was.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
And he put up numbers like in these kind of
stats right here that you would expect to hear. If
I told you this is what a college coach accomplished,
twenty three Final four berths, fifteen and sixteen years, different
win streaks of ninety eight hundred eleven games, you would say, well,
that's got to be in the fifties, right, that's got
to be John Wooden, Right, it's got to be when
they were like eight teams and you just had a
(32:50):
factory and you were able to get everybody. No, this
is stuff that's in the turn of the century. This
is stuff that's like since two thousand that he's been
able to accomplish this, and it kind of goes under
the radar because the big explosion. He doesn't get the
credit as much because Yukon hasn't won in the last
few years, like he needs that. He needs that title
this year. Man, you talk about somebody that needs a
(33:11):
title in the new modern, modern era of women's college basketball,
it's Gene. It's Gina Orima. He's got Yukon's gotta win
this year. They have the player to do it in
Becker's that you know, that's still a superstar school. But
he needs that win to say, hey, I'm able to
bridge the era and continue to play well in the
era we're in right now.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
Yeah, you just go down the list of players though
More and Stewart, the former guest of the show, Sue
Byrn Tarasi, I mean, Rebecca Lobo and all these high
profile folks that are still around the game.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
For Gena Arima, he's gonna be most remembered because everybody
is the they came to the table this last year, Right,
that's the big criticism.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
You're gonna pay attention all these years you just got here.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
They're only gonna remember him from when he was on
with Dan Patrick and predicted that Caitlin Clark would.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Be mid in the dumb Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Yeah, that's what he That's his calling card right now.
Even remember he was really Greg coach over here. It's like, no,
he said that about Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
How dare you?
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Well Again, That's the other thing too, is that he
has always spent a lot of time like I feel
like he did, like he knew this is when when
women's college basketball is on the ascension, they were going
to be a story for the Final four, right That's
when women's college basketball was at the biggest part of
the year.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
And he would always.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Take that time to launch some sort of of di
a tribe on something that didn't make him happy, and
sometimes it was really important. Sometimes it was dude, just
enjoy you're in the final four winning a national championship.
But he would always take that time and it was
always all, here's Geno Orima. So I think a lot
of people have the connotation of Geno Orima, ah guy
that's not happy about something when it comes to the
(34:50):
final four, And that's sort of the impression we have
of him.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
When you have to understand what he's done.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Winning has been something that no one's won like this
in any sport ever. And this is how he's won.
And he's still doing it now at seventy years old.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Yeah, and he's one of the last of you know,
one of the things we've lamented a little bit the
changing of the collegiate landscape is how many of these
men and women have just said, I'm done with this right,
long time, long tenured coaches have just decided, all right,
I'm not playing by these new rules. You know, that's
someone else's game. I'm gonna keep quoting Wicked.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
I guess so.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
Unintentionally, and then I was like, I'm really running, you know,
define gravity lines. But just the idea that he's still
trying to battle, still trying to figure out this next phase.
And he's got he's got a heavyweight team, as you
talk about with Paige Becker's a lot of eyeballs, and
the bully pulpit is still his to use.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Now it's just do you make the most of it.
With more eyes on the women's college game than.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Ever exit ou about a Fresca X at Swollen Down.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
The Jason Smith's are with Mike carmon Live from the
tiraq dot com Studios. I'll have more basketball throughout the show,
but coming up next, there's a big couple of awards
that we're giving out today and one may take a
player from Hey, he's really good to potentially be in
a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Yeah, that's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon livethetirack dot com Studios. Got more football on
the way coming up in a few minutes, But big
news in Major League Baseball today We're gonna get the
MVPs coming up twenty four hours. Find out just how
much Shoho Tani and Aaron Judge won by.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
What's the margin of victory? And did anybody else get
a second place?
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Again?
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Beyond your guy and the only.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Francisco Lindora is going to be the first unanimous second
place winner in in MLB history for MVP unanim its
second place. But today we got the Cy Young Awards, right,
Tarik Schoubl in the American League and Chris Sale and
National League. Neither is surprising because they each won the
pitching Triple Crown, wins ERA and strikeouts. Each led the
(37:18):
league a little bit tougher in the National League because
you had the superstar power of Paul Skins, who was
a finalist, and Zach Wheeler, who had a very comparable.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
Season to Chris Sale.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
However, Sale wins the Triple Crown again wins RAY and strikeouts.
It's kind of tough to argue that, well, the other
guy was bet no wins.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
ERA, strikeouts. Well, that's kind of tough.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
But the big question is this now is because what
did this mean for Chris Sale? Now the guys become
a Hall of Famer. And that's what this Cy Young
has done for Chris Sale. This is a guy who
from twenty twelve through twenty eighteen, for that decade with
the White Sox, in a couple of years with Boston,
(38:02):
he's one of the top three pitchers in baseball at
worst for the entire run. And then that's an incredible
amount of time to be that dominant as a pitcher. Right,
seven All Star All seven years now eight time All
Star here with the Braves. But when you can put
that finishing touch on your career and say, okay, here's
(38:23):
the punctuality. Here, here's the exclamation white again, He's still
got some time. Looking you're thirty five, and you're finally
healthy after a couple of years of being injured. Maybe
you have a couple more really good years left. I
don't think Chris sale is suddenly going to fall off
the planet. You know, he's still going to be really good.
But you're saying eight years and now a Cy Young
Award to go along with being an eight time All Star.
(38:44):
And when you look back at the at the last
decade plus in Major League Baseball, who's been a more
consistent dominant pitcher, the list is really really short because
all the other guys that.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
Are up there with him.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Yeah, okay, you assures it was really good, but kind
of a he's kind of falling off. And Verlander, who's
gonna be a Hall of Famer as well, But he
stacks up with everybody. You know, his career pitching war
stacks up with just about everybody in in Major League
Baseball history.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
So Chris sale By by winning.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
This, I look and here I'm telling you, I mean,
he's he was your guy for a long time.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yeah, he's going.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
To the Hall of Fame. He's he's not gonna have
an unbelievable number of wins. He's got one hundred and
thirty eight right now. What is he gonna finish at?
At most maybe one hundred and seventy maybe, you know,
because guys don't win as many games, But like he's
one thirty eight and eighty three right now, Like.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
That's a pretty good bleeping record.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
That's like Pedro Martinez esque, you know, being being that
being fifty games over five hundred for your career in
Major League baseball. I mean, I don't even think it's
gonna be a question. I think Chris Sale's gonna go.
And if it's not the first year ballot for him,
it'll be the second year for him.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
Well, I'm hoping to see that. Add Mark Burley to
the list, and Harmon celebrates all over the place because
his lefties get into the Hall. Yeah, I mean, you
look at Paedro for his career nineteen and one hundred
when it was all said and done. Yeah, the thing
with Sale is the fact that you've got that long
block between the last time he was this dominant, right,
(40:10):
This is the most innings he's pitched since twenty seventeen,
and I'm all with you in all of those things.
The All Star appearances, seven times he's finished inside the
