You know, the only thing that I'm upset about is
this is a jaw dropping story that Bill Belichick is
going back to coach at North Carolina. He's a five
year deal taking over.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
I thought you were still alluding to the Bridget Wilson
part of that equation.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
There, no, no, no, no no. I had to move
on for Bridget Wilson. That's too much for Jason's bringing
to handle mine. It's a lot, it's a it's a yeah,
yeah yeah. It's like it's like watching when when Matt
Damon's doing that equation in uh in Goodwill Hunting. It's like, well,
what is That's to too much? Woman? Can't do it,
can't do it? But you want to? I want to.
You aspired at that level of greatness I did either

(02:17):
Bridget will or solving the equation. What is pie? Actually? Okay? Great?
See we converged on that. That reminds me you want
to do a great joke. I heard the other day
hear this, Hey, so guy dies, he winds up going
to Hell's very upset. That's very upset. He goes to Hell,

(02:37):
the devil meets him, says, hey, I just want to
make you sure, I take you through Hell. He goes, great,
I didn't make it heavy, he says, no, think's fine. There,
you'll love it. Oh really yeah yeah yeah yeah. Here,
why don't let you know. Here's your tablet. Everybody gets
a tablet when they come to Hell. Oh okay, it's
not bad, and you have access to everything anywhere you
want to go, find the fine, find out what's going
on on and up on Earth and everything else. It's great.
Oh that's awesome. Probably no Wi Fi though, because it's Hell. No, no, no, no, no,

(02:58):
we got Wi Fi here. It's great. Oh what's the password?
Devil says pie. I like that. I like that joke. Yeah,
other people don't. Don't like that. Well, if people have
to go to school and understand Pie, you know, Pie
is an infinite It just keeps going. So you're never world.
You're never gonna get the Wi Fi. You never get Pie.

(03:21):
You never gonna get the WiFi. Not gonna happen, just
like the Knick's never gonna beat the Hawks. But Bill
Belichick is the head coach in North Carolina, and I
mean it the number one thing. The only thing I'm
upset about this is an amazing story. You know what
I'm said about all the jokes have been gone for
like three days. Oh yeah, as soon as it's it's
here's Belichick looking at sorority row. Here's Belichick, you know,

(03:41):
trying to to to communicate with young people. Here's Belichick
trying to sell himself to young people. All the jokes,
I mean, all the jokes, they're all gone. They're all gone.
They're all gone. I mean I did like Frostburg's one
that he said about with with U, with Jeff, Jeff
Bridges and John Goodman saying here's when they're Larry's home
trying to recruit him, this is your homework, Larry. But

(04:03):
all the jokes are gone, and I feel like, I
don't know, it's weird. I feel like it's I'm like
awkward and unhit making them because they've all been made already.
It's all look at this, all look at that. I'm
just gonna be somebody else saying it on there like
this is a joke that's been gone now for like
a long time. I mean, it's not like he's going anywhere,
But I feel like, boy, you gotta get in the
beginning of that or you just have to let it
ride out and do its own thing. Yeah, I mean

(04:24):
unless you're just outside of the normal windows of all
the voices and faces of sports talk radio and television.
If you were you know, an outlier, you know, and
and not represented. You know, because a couple of women
that spoke today suddenly that joke was like Monday, but
they got credit like it was a brand new one.

(04:45):
It's like, all right, yeah, all right, you got push.
That was good. That's good. All right, It's like we
did that one. Everybody did that. I want the jokes
to be there.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Now.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
We got to make jokes about the first week of
the season. Look, I feel good that the you gotta
move right ahead. Well we come up with on a
nightly basis is pretty good, and you know, you see
in the next day obviously, like that's why we're ahead
of the curve. But but certain things like this, it's like,
oh man, like it's it's it's already gone, like everything
has already gone. No, it's it's too bad though, right,
I mean because it's had a week though, but I
mean every day, but it had a full week to

(05:16):
jest date, like it didn't just pop on the radar,
like this was rumored we go back a full week
in terms of our calendar, right, I mean we go
back to either last Wednesday, last Thursday when this first
started kind of pop it out of the weeds, a
little bit of maybe possibly, what do you think let's
uh lick the finger, hold our you know, hold it

(05:37):
up and see which way the wind's blowing. All this,
So all those jokes started running at me, and then
I had actually already been done because he was dating
this. They've been and they've been done twice now because people
are coming back to it. I mean, I need the comedy,
and it's like I feel like I just gotta just
watch us go and come up with new comedy. But
we do have audio of Bill Belichick for the first

(05:57):
time outside his house from five minutes ago. Oh yeah, okay,
this is audio. You're only gonna radio, so am I?
But no, why not? Yeah, let's let's let's ride the lightning,
let's shave with the knife. Uh. This is him outside
his house five minutes ago, like reacting becoming the next
head coach, the great most winningest head coach in NFL history.

(06:18):
Now here he is coaching in North Carolina outside his
house five minutes ago.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Oh, back to his cool, back to his cool. To
prove too, Dad, Dad, I'm not a fool. I got
my nonch packed up, my boots tied tight. I hole fight,
don't get in a fight.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
So there he is five minutes ago. That's pretty good. No,
I got it that he was pretty good. I like
that he can rhyme. I didn't know. I didn't know Belichick.
I mean he's been real happy on Yeah. Probably, yeah,
a little bit. It was wrong.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah, well just we we talked about it a little
bit yesterday, spiked it like it was already done. So
now it's just a devil in the details, that's all.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
It's like, Hey, it's it's new, but it's not new.
I mean, I just want once after an upset loss
next season when he gets upset and there and he
just says, we're onto Syracuse. No, we're on serious? Is
that they want to revisit Billy Madison. We're on to Syracuse.
We're on a Syracuse. I don't really care about that.

(07:27):
But Bill you you you you went for it on
fourth down and thirty from your own ten on a
three to three game with two minutes left in the game. Yeah,
we're onto the we're on a Syracuse. We're on the Syracuse.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
We're sus it is inevitable, right, we're onto Syracuse or
just announcing casually some guy has entered the portal. At
that moment, it's not about that game anymore. It's on
the business of football going forward.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
You know, Look, sometimes the the initial reaction is the
one that stays through a story. Like sometimes there's initial
reaction a story and it weaves and it gets different
and there's different angles to it, and sometimes a story breaks.
You know, Hey, this first reaction is gonna be wow,
the reaction all the way through. And while this is

(08:11):
a great move for North Carolina, he wants to get
back into coaching all of this, I can't help but
be just so embarrassed for the guy. This is the
best head coach that we have seen in NFL history
right now. I know, Bill Walsh, hey coach the forty
nine ers, went back to coach at Stanford, didn't do
very well, but you know, we've seen it before. But
this is a guy. This guy won unlike anybody else

(08:34):
in the history of the game. And what did you do?
I thought it was embarrassing enough. He's got to hang
out with Pat McAfee all all year and put smile
like he pretends to enjoy talking to him. I gotta
talk to a punter. It's not even Johnny Hecker. I
don't even know why do I want to talk. But
he did celebrate special teams unlike any other. It's enough
that he's got to do that, and I have to
sit here and smile and put on a face and

(08:56):
show people that, hey, I'm not this real dooman gloom guy.
I still have my fastball and I can still be
a coach. It was embarrassing enough that a guy that
never wanted to talk to the media, here he is
doing zoom calls and he's on McAfee's show and ever,
and it's like that was embarrassing enough for him. But
now here he is not even dropping down to Hey,
I'm gonna go coach Florida, or I'm gonna go coach Texas,

(09:20):
or I'm gonna go coach Michigan. No, I'm going to
coach North Carolina. And I get that his dad was
an assistant there, you know, a long time ago, but
this is a stunning fall that this is this is
how he's got to continue his coaching career. It's North Carolina, Like,
I mean, it's a great move for them, and he's
it's just a guy like that, Like I don't know

(09:40):
how that happens. I don't know how you go from
I'm winning at the highest level. And yes, he probably
did have to do things a little bit differently towards
the end because people remember the end and if he
wanted to keep going on and coaching in the NFL,
but not only did nonybody want to hire him in
the NFL, Like this is like this is a mid
college football program. North carol Line is a mid program.

(10:01):
If he wanted a coach where Drake May was, he
would find a way to stay and go back at
Drake May came out of North Carolina. I mean, this
is it really is. It's shocking that this is like
a free fall for Belichick, where a year ago at
this time it was Hey, Belichick's near it time is
nearing an end in New England and we all know it.
It's time for him to go somewhere else. Where's he

(10:21):
gonna go. Who's gonna hire I'm sure the Cowboys will
look at him, the Falcons, all these all these teams
wanted to talk to him, and he went over the
offseason over over two interviews of the Falcons. They hired
Reheem Morris. Two interviews with the Falcons. They hired Rehee Morris.
And here's Belichick. Now, Hey, I'm gonna go coach in
North Carolina. And of course they're letting him do whatever
he wants because he's the best head coach you've seen

(10:42):
in NFL history. Imagine the taping of the plays, it's
gonna happen. But I still look at this and I go,
this is he's coming down to coach North Carolina in football,
non basketball. Basketball will be a thing. Hey, here he is.
He's gonna try his hand a basketball North Carolina, blue
blood program. That's fan, that's gonna whatever else sestional titles.
He's gonna do both. He's gonna do both. Not yeah,

(11:03):
North Carolina. This is where a Bill But in a year,
this is where Bill Belichick has fallen to in a year,
this is where he is. Oh, the world moves on
pretty fast. His age probably does not help the process.
The history that he had the last three to four
years with the Patriots, sure as hell is in helping

(11:23):
the process. Because you're going through and if you're an
NFL team, are you seating Like, if you're an existing GM,
are you seeding power to him?

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Does the owner want to do that? Hey, you know what,
we're gonna hire Bill? Well, what do I do? You're
gonna be like Ryan Poles. You're gonna have no responsibility here.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
See what I did there?

Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah, you're an empty suit, just like just like over
in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
But like, who's signing up for that? Right?

Speaker 4 (11:52):
And moving forward? We watched all the debacles of the
administration of his coordinators and Russell once he actually got
on the field, he actually really coached him up above
expectations because the team they assembled was not good, devoid

(12:13):
of top not skill positions. So that's gonna be the curiosity, right.
He hires Lombardy, like that's the story that's going around, right,
So while he may not be able to get along
with Woody Johnson, he gets along with.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Someone that worked for the Jets. So that's good.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
And now they'll move into this next phase with the
GM in place and in theory a huge administration as
we surmise they might the last few days as this
started coming together, that the infrastructure is gonna be fascinating
to watch as to how much of its CEO figurehead
he is versus the activity. But make no mistake about it.

(12:49):
I mean we're all intrigued. Three years thirty five.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Hey, as you always say, it's great for us, great
for it's great for us, It's awesome, and it can't
be any worse for North Carolina. But dude, that's the thing.
I feel bad for him. The dude took a bunch
of jobs. He might be like Jim Carrey. Returning to Sony,
he said, I bought a bunch of crap and I
needed the money. How did Jim Carrey, who has been
acting in Hollywood for thirty five years now has made

(13:13):
all kinds of money? Yes said yesterday, I took the
job in Sonic three because I need a cash. Dude,
how do you need money? After all this? Man, what
the hell have you done? You can't question folks with liquidity.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Maybe they got into some bad investments, loan money to
friends or family, had a crook as a business manager
that's siphoned some stuff.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Off like it was the uh the wall at Shawshank.
I made all of that to say, I don't know
a man's finances. I don't pretend to know the wall.
It's just it's just embarrassing. I can't buy stunning this
fall in a year from the heights of the NFL
to I'm coaching a mid power five program. That's really

(13:52):
I don't know that I'm ever going to get past
the stunning nature of this development. But if he wins,
it's like Brady and Tampa. That's it. How about a
ex and swollen dome. The Jason Smith Show with Mike
Carbon Live from the tire rack dot Com Studios. We'll
have more on this incredible story because I don't know
people are ready just how big a deal this is
that here's the best coach in the history of the games.

(14:12):
Eight Yeah, after a year, nobody wants me, so I'm
going to coach in college. We'll have more on that.
Plus he hates the meetia. Yeah, another speaking of hate,
there's no do you know what we're gonna do that
We're gonna I'm just gonna say, coming up next speaking,
We're gonna we're gonna talk about a player I am
not very fond of who had a very big night tonight.

(14:33):
Oh that's that's next. Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Starting with the music early tonight, Ty Shirt, Huh all right,
I'm starting us off the right way. Okay, you know what?
You know what? How have you not found found a holiday? Holiday?
Holiday version of something? Tears for Fears? Haven't done any
holiday songs? I have found some, but I haven't played it.
Why haven't you played? I like it? I want you
to not like it as long as we get to

(15:13):
hear Belichick to have yourself a merry little Christmas tonight.
We need that tonight. Okay, see how you've asked for it? No,
but we got that's gonna happen. We got, we gotta
have it.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
But now he's got other things to concern himself with,
other than singing have yourself a merry little Christmas for
us Christmas, He's got other stuff to consider. The Jason
Smith Show with the Mike Carmen Live from the Tirac
dot Com Studios, Happy Wednesday, as we get set for
Week fifteen in the NFL tomorrow, and Bill Belichick is
now a head coach again.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
But before we get back into him, you know, it's
not that how do I say this, It's not that
he's not motivated to play in other games. It's not
that his production drops a lot in other games. But boy,

(16:03):
if Trey Young was as fired up to play every
game like he was was to play the Knicks, maybe
the Atlanta Hawks would have won something in the last
few years. Look at is theo is fired up? Man?
Look I'll live through Trey Young. It's it's it's a
generation later. Forget Trey Young with Hartenstein had a big

(16:23):
night tonight too. It's that's fine. Now, Look everything is fine.
This is the semi Yeah, Haliburton, he was terrible. I
still see that hard three where he just throws it
up and closes his eyes. Please go in for me.
That's Olympian. Uh a. A A big night for Trey Young,
a double double and has some fun on the court

(16:45):
at the end, kind of throws dice at the Knicks logo,
dribbling the ball on the logo, dribbling the time out
as the Hawks beat the next night to move they
move on to the finals. Well, everybody's walking off the
court at the time, he was like, yeah, it's my
time on the court. Did he get tased or uh
pepper spring? But I would assume that the next time
he goes into the lane. I I think big Modega

(17:06):
is gonna have a little something.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
I don't think any of your guys are tough enough
to do it. Would have to rotate on a defense
to make that.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Oh you just have one time. Just rotate one time.
He's gonna get Just rotate one. He's gonna get there once.
But I don't do that. Just just do it one time.
Then you want have to do it again. Jason, where
were your tough guys when Trey Young rolled dice on
the next logo? I know, right like I I I
he definitely took the right time to do it. Oh hey,
it's just us out here now, I'm gonna roll dice
on the logo and and dribble offwhere you get a

(17:33):
full WWE entrance. Yeah, he's got it back. He basically
put his eggs in your face. He did, now, he did.
I don'd say basically he did so, okay, now, but
he didn't do it at the end. He didn't do
it while everybody was standing right. He didn't do it
in front of Jalen Brunson, like he made sure he did. Oh,
I got my guys here, everybody else is off the floor.
I'm doing this.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Uh yeah, okay, you think he calculated it that much? Yeah,
someone on your squad was sidding up, tough guy.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Uh yeah. Were there any ex Knicks from the nineties
in attendance that might have actually taken a well exception
to it. And Charles Oakley would actually have gone into
the uh onto the court, but he's banned and he
can't go there. He was there in spirit, Fike Lee,
I think still had problems getting in whatever. And Trincy
was supposed to Gobody told me he couldn't do it.
But look like I said, it's it's twenty years later.

(18:22):
It's Reggie Miller. He loves playing in the garden, right,
he loves playing the Knicks. Dude, if you were as
motivated like this to beat every other team like you
beat the Knicks, maybe you would have won something in
your career. Right, This is not me being bitter night
a little bit of it, but just Sarah when whenever
I see someone who shows out against a specific team
for whatever reason. Right, he loves controlling the Knicks fans. Hey,

(18:45):
I hope you all have a great trip home, happy holidays,
all this stuff. He likes doing all that. I get it,
and I understand that, But but why can't you be
that good? Why can't you be that motivated to win
other games that are big deals. That's good. I mean,
he was eight of twenty two. It's not like he
was a superstar. DeAndre Hunter should have been the guy
handed the dice. Twenty four off the bench. Tre Young's

(19:06):
leading the league and assists and eleven more tonight. Yeah,
no question about it. But it's just like the conversation
we were having with the METSA and the the Yankees.
You seemed more excited about saying blank you to Yankees
fans were mad at you than you were excited about
Sodo showing up. I was almost as excited. Almost. No, No,

(19:27):
I could go back and play the almost I say,
I said, you said, you said almost you could say
what you want. I saw. You can't just change what
I said and say that you were more excited about
sticking it to Wall that you more about Sodo showing
not more, not more so I said almost as much,
almost like but it was close, but almost as much.

(19:50):
He said, I gotta remember, we get him on the
field and all of a sudden, you know, hey, look
at us. We're going to the World Series. But I
remember that. But still the meltdown part is fun because
it is fun seeing in the leading up to Wan
Soda is, Oh my goodness, where's he gonna go? The
Sodo Sweepstakes. Who's gonna get the greatest prize in baseball history?
Not named Otani? Who's gonna get this guy? The Mets
get him, and it's all they overpaid and they shouldn't

(20:12):
have done this, And now there, who are they gonna
get elsewhere? The Yankees are better off without him everything.
If the Yankees had got him, or the Dodgers had
got him, or the Red Sox had got him, it
would have been glowing. Look at these great traditional franchises
and how good they how good a move they did
getting won Soda. Now the Yankees can compete for the
next fifteen years. The Dodgers are unbeatable. The Red Sox
bought themselves back into relevancy. But the Mets are all

(20:35):
They spent too much money and I don't know if
they're gonna build the winning team. He's still gotta beat
the Dodge. No pe, the Mets are a target. And
that's why I say that ain't happening no more? Right,
that not happen anymore. I like the way you said
that got him mad. And I'm in bad English now
not the band with John Waite was the lead singer
for When I See You Smile guys, but bad English,
like not good, not good modern English, not I Melt

(20:57):
with You, which is another band from the eighties. But
it's it's done now, it's done. But the Mets have
been such a target and such an easy team to
make fun of for the longest time. Oh yeah, the
Mets got him and they don't. Nobody wants to say
anything good about the thought with that, so it's let
me just bash it and say it's bad now, when
when all we did was say how great it was
leading up to it, all it, but now all but look,

(21:17):
I didn't like the result because I would have liked
the Yankees or the Dodgers or the Red Sox. Oh yes,
and now I'm gonna say I'm gonna bash the Mets
forget them. Yeah, look where he went. We been hearing
that that they were gonna outbid anybody. So the fact
that that actually happened, I'm like, ah, that sucks. Not
not that it I wish ill against the Mets or

(21:38):
anything else, but it was more the that's what we'd
been hearing anybody else could outbet him, you right, no, no, no,
But that was the point was not but it was
they were gonna go fifty million more than anybody else.
So it was kind of like, Eh, that's exactly what happened.
That's not exciting. But Yankees could have done that. Yeah,
the Yankees couldn't said, Oh, it's too rich for our blood.
We're not gonna do it. We're gonna go fifty million
over what you want to pay you. Well, that's what

(21:59):
they did.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
They went fifty million over for what Max Freed was
supposed This is so they still went fifty over.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
They just pivoted to the next guy. Is this is
like that phone call in Moneyball he met back when
it was a lot of money when Billy gets a
phone call from Scott Boris and he tells him, Johnny Damon,
we had a deal at seven and a half. He goes,
we did have a deal until the Red Sox went
went up so he's yours for eight mills. Yeah, and
he goes, no, you played me, you got him blanket.

(22:26):
He hangs up the phone, like that would have been
what it was. Yeah, we had a deal with seven
sixty five, but the Yankees are going seven ninety five.
All right, the Mets are gonna go this like and
other Twe could have done that, Other teams could have
done that. I mean really they could have. I won
a five hundred thousand dollars value. Okay, yeah, but just
my point being that leading up into the opening of
the owners meetings, it was the Mets will outspend and

(22:47):
wan Sota will be a Met. So it's like a
third act of a movie where it's like, all right,
you can see how this is gonna end. Just how
are we getting there? You know, here's here's is it
gonna suck? Yeah? Before he get resolution, you mentioned this, right,
being the thing like the Mets gave him a swee
for his family, how real versus you know, imaginary, all
this five hundred thousand dollars value, right, and the Yankees

(23:08):
wouldn't do it. They wanted to give him, they wanted
to kill We'll take money off. What do you give
me a discount on the Swechright, you get a discount,
judge and judge a bottle of water? Is it gonna
be five fifty? It'll be judge and Jeter didn't get him.
And I'm like, okay. And there's two takeaways from this.
Is that one the Yankees. You have to understand this
is what modern players want. It's a different It's I

(23:29):
know that you want to run just three years ago,
but that it's the players want stuff now, right, players
want stuff. So you can't, Oh, we wouldn't do it
for Jeter? What is Jeter? K What do you care
about what Jeter did? Jeter's gone, he's been retired. What
the hell do you care about Jeter? For? Oh, Jeter
never got a sweet But here's the Here's the thing
is that that that was such a big deal for soda, right,

(23:50):
That's that's seem to be one of the things that
put the Mets over the top was that the Mets
would do this for him because he could have gotten
similar money from anywhere. But the Mets said, we're gonna
do this for him, and it's a no brainer to
do it for him. You want him to come play.
I don't think judge cares if he's got a sweet
or not. I don't give a crap. It's the it's
the principle of the you're gonna give me all this stuff.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
I'm just gonna ask for something frivolous, right, It's it's
it's the concert writer for a band, dude. Here's the
fifty things that are listed on the sheet. It's just
are you showing me the respect of reading through it?
Not that you actually have to do it all, but
if there's something that probably requires a little bit a
point of clarification that you've read into it enough that

(24:30):
you asked the question.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
But I also asked this. Did the Yankees? Were they
on the hook for all the baskets that were given
from Jeter to ladies through these I think he got
d Did they cover the costs? So I think while
it might not have been a sweet, it was pretty sweet.
And then and then Jeter gave him Stanton back when hey,
I'm still working for you, when I'm running the Marlins. Okay,

(24:52):
I know I got fired from that. That's still well,
look here, because here's the thing. You know, what they're
reminded me of is that this is a great story.
All right, let's go so the whole the the whole
Sodo met the whole soda with the sweet like what
you would do to make a deal happen Like it's
a no brainer in the Yankees blew it. When I
was in college, I was doing a remote show from
a car dealership. I think I was a junior senior

(25:14):
in college, right, and we were doing I remember, I
remember the gap, money booths and everything. We were doing
a Saturday road show from there because we were kicking
off a contest. We were giving away a car. And
this is a dealership that was given the car away. Right,
So we get there, We're doing the show all day
and everything else, and then uh and the guy that
run that ran the car dealership comes over and says, hey, man,

(25:36):
hell of a day. Yeah great, everything great? He said,
how was everything good with you? He goes, man had
the We had the weirdest car sale today. I said,
what happened? He goes A woman came in to buy
a car. It was like a I figure it was
like a Nissan or something else. I forget. She's a
woman comes in to buy the car. This is a car. Now,
picture the the the lobby of a car dealership, right,
just lobby car dealership. So the woman comes in, you know,
sees the car, loves it, test drives it, comes back

(25:56):
and she says, I'll take it, but you got a
win that plant over there. And it was just a
plant like with some like palm tree whatever it was.
And and and the guy said really, he said yeah.
And and so they went in to tell this guy,
Sam was in the guy's name who was the who
ran the car dealership. He comes in and he tells him, Hey,

(26:16):
the woman said she's gonna buy the carpet. We gotta
give her that plant. He goes, really, yeah, he goes,
put the plant in the car. What do you do?
What you're talking about it? Question? So they put the
plant in the car and there was had a sunroof
and it was a big plant like it was like
probably about like eight or ten feet I. So she
drove out with the plant through through the sun roof.

(26:36):
She bought the car. I'll buy the carpet. You gotta
give me that plant. Okay, what does he care? I'm
giving you a plant. I just sold a car for
twenty five thousand dollars. But yep, I had to give
you a plant. Yes, I'll give you a plant to
sell a car. This is oh you want to you
want seven We're gonna give you seven hundred and sixty
five million dollars, yes, and you just want five hundred
thousand dollars. Sweet. Yeah, yeah, that's a rallying error. Yeah.

(27:01):
The Yankees just absolutely they fell on their face with
this and they got caught. And I don't know that
they really ever really wanted to get him as much
as they wanted to keep him away from the Red
Sox and keep him away from the Mets if it
was at all possible. Yeah, but they never went all
in like they really wanted him, Like, if you know, hey,
we really need Won Soto, don't guys like Aaron Judge

(27:23):
call him and say hey, check in, don't the stars
call in? Don't don't they do that instead of saying, hey,
he knows we love him, and hey, he knows where
we are. Don't you do that if you really want
the guy? Of course you do. Some of it's the
devil in the details, right, things like the tree and
plants and whatever else. And this case is sweet the
ride or whatever, but also you know what you're dealing with.

(27:45):
It's Scott Morris. So I'm gonna guess for a bunch
of those players, Like, there's nothing I can tell this guy. Yeah,
I can't wash him up. I can't say, hey, you
know what, we've got a great corner booth that's always
on call at this great restaurant or whatever the case is,
bottle service there is is always just you know, tell
him to use my name and put it on my account.

(28:05):
Like none of that matters, like they know, oh it's Boris. Yeah,
it's just gonna be whatever the extra numbers are at
the back end of the commas. That's really all it is.
Exit out about a frescat exit swelling down the Jason
Smith Show with my car. But it just get just
to understand that's what it was. To get the guy,
just give him the plant. I remember he was like,

(28:28):
get to put the plant in the car. Just want
the other one too, He said, you should have seen
that we had two sales guys trying to get the
plant in the car. So it wouldn't you get dirt everywhere,
especially if he just watered it. I'm like, I'm like,
how did I miss that? How did I miss that? Unbelievable?
Uh time? How to find out what's trending in the
wide world of sports. From someone who put all her

(28:49):
paycheck this month on Kawhi Leonard coming back before Christmas?

Speaker 6 (28:54):
Right luck, Jason can actually borrow money now that you Yeah,
what do you need? How about it a couple of
thousands so I could buy some Christmas gift A couple
of thousand?

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, holidays? Wait a minute, how big is your family?
A couple of thousand dollars?

Speaker 6 (29:09):
It's not also presents that I want to buy myself,
so you know, it's like a mixture.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Of things for me. Yeah, yeah, so you shop like
I do. I'm sling shot to hit you in the face.
I mean, why, I could be a Bart Simpson.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Why? Why is that prosper And I took it easy
on you. I went sling shot. Shot could have gone
way worse. Man, it's fair shot.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
I wonder if you would get fined in the in
the NFL with the slingshot gesture.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
No, I think you might be okay, I don't know.
I think I think some folks might be offended by
the gesture though, thinking you're something something else. Yeah, yeah,
you're right, You're right. There's a retelling of the Bible
fable David, and we're re enacting that in the end zone.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
That's wh we are re enacting in the We should
try that to see what happens.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Guys.

Speaker 6 (29:59):
We have n A Cup quarterfinals going.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
On right now if you care.

Speaker 6 (30:03):
The Rockets are beating the Warriors forty to twenty six
with four minutes to go in the first half. The
winner of this will head to the semi finals to
face OKAC. While the Hawks came back to defeat the
Knicks went away to one hundred. Trey Young led the
way with twenty two points eleven rebounds. The Big Bodega
Karl Anthony Towns had nineteen points and nineteen rebounds in

(30:25):
a losing effort. Atlanta heads onto the semi finals, where
they will face the Milwaukee Bucks. In College Hoops number five,
Kentucky defeated Colegates seventy eight to sixty seven. While nc
DOUABLEA President Charlie Baker says that they're having productive talks
on expanding the NCABAA basketball tournament from sixty eight schools
to seventy two or even seventy six teams. The changes

(30:47):
could be made in time for the twenty twenty six
n C Double A Tournament.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
The big story today is that.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
Bill Belichick will be the new head football coach at
the University of North Carolina. Reportedly, it's a five year deal,
but it all needs to be approved by the Board
of trustees tomorrow, so we'll get the final say there.
In college No, I said college troops, sorry that in
the NFL. The forty nine Ers will be without left
tackle Trent Williams tomorrow against the Rams, running back Isaac

(31:12):
Garrendo and defensive end Nick Bosa. They were limited at
practice and they are questionable. But Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito
he's in line to start against the Ravens as Drew
Locke is dealing with a foot injury.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Back to you, guys, thank you very much, The Jason
Smith Show with Mike Carmen live from the tire rag
dot Com Studios. We'll have more than Bill Belichick to
North Carolina story coming up in a bit, but straight
ahead coming for the Ces. The biggest story in football
the last week now could potentially be a felony. Again.
Aaron Rodgers is not involved in this story because I

(31:47):
know droones else you have no idea, No, no, this
is something he's going to Yes, this if this happens again,
it could literally be a fell Is this the CEO
thing that? No, No, it's not that enough. This is
watching the jet skin. That's that is true. No, No,
that's that's that's inflicting punishment on yourself. That that's what

(32:09):
it is. That's coming up next Radio Jason and Mike
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 5 (32:13):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Live from the
tire Rack dot Com Studios. More and Bill Belichick coming
up in a few minutes. But well, today he was
named the head coach. That was yesterday. Today he was
named the head coach today just a few hours ago. Now,

(32:43):
he's just bocking me because we did a lot of
discussion as this was swirling frostburget. He's mad at me.
If you're mocking Harmon, you got to give me some
kind of signs so I know that. Oh no, it's
completely Can you give me some mock a crotch list?
You know what?

Speaker 4 (33:01):
That that really still hurts? Okay, that is fresh that
is a fresh wound. It was obvious, and it was
we knew it was coming. It was inevitable. Just a
matter of whom DJ. Some people needle point, some people
latch hook. The Red Sox decided to crochet.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Their way to another picture. DJ, the big harn is
gonna throw a pen at me right there that I
deserve that one. Look, the big story in college football
coming off of the last couple of weeks has been
planting a flag, planting a flag in the field, and
all the the controversy that it caused, whether it was Michigan,

(33:42):
Ohio State. You know, it looked five separate games a
week ago had this happen and became a very big thing.
And now today Josh Williams, who was a representative from
Ohio State, and I keep thinking, Josh Williams NBA, when
did he play two thousands early that Josh Williams introduced
a bill on Tuesday that would classify flag planting at

(34:05):
Ohio Stadium around Buckeyes football games. Okay, so this means
if you try to plant the flag in the middle,
and no one's trying to plant the flag to get
it into the turf, they're planting it like, hey, we're
pretending to plant it. Obviously you're not gonna plant the flag, right. Hey,
if they're able to pull that off, then that means
you've added like a little rotary kind of drill at

(34:27):
the bottom all the way down. Josh Williams introduced the
bill yesterday that would classify planting a flag at Ohio
Stadium around Buckeyes football games as a felony. It's a

(34:47):
fun So you win the game, you try to plant
your flag at midfield, the cops throw you down. They
they they hit you with pepper spray, which we'll get into.
They hit you with pepper spray and take you away
and go This is a felonious act and you could
wind up being put in prison six to twelve months
and up to twenty five hundred dollars fine and five
years probation. If you win a football game and you

(35:09):
try to plant the flag at midfield, it's a felony.
I'd like to go through the other statutes in the
state of Ohio to see what is similar in terms
of sentencing.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
There's no statue of months. By the way, when is
this guy up for reelection? That was the first thought
I had I'm like, oh, you grand stand in sun Well.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
You got a grand stand when you can. Of course,
you can't get away a little bit of peacocky book.
I'm a man of the people. How much this tell
you how pissed is Ohio State still at losing that
game to Michigan. I mean they're in the playoff. They're
in the playoff, right Michigan. Ohio State would easily understand
that you want to beat your rival. I understand, I

(35:47):
understand a bit. I'm an inside the Michigan Ohio State
robbery for thirty years. You ask every Michigan fan, Hey,
would you rather lose to Ohio State and make the
playoff or beat Ohio State make the playoff? At this point,
understanding what college football is, we can win a championship.
We'd rather be in the playoff, right, But ohios DA
fan seems like they could win the national title and
they wouldn't be happy. They wouldn't be happy because we
lost to Michigan. And yes, it was an embarrassing loss,

(36:09):
because I don't know when you're gonna beat Michigan if
you didn't beat them. Now, they had no quarterback, their
two best defensive players weren't playing. Both of them were
going to the NFL. They announced in the last couple
of days. This was when you beat Michigan and they couldn't.
But this shows you just how much it is still
rankling them. They're still royaled by it. Where here's I'm
going to introduce that this is going to be a

(36:29):
felony if you try to plant the flag in the
middle of Ohio Stadium. This is a college football thing
that happens that would have been taken care of on
the field. What I think you should say instead of this,
you really want to be a really good representative and
do something, say hey, let's really look into the fact
that kids were sprayed with pepper spray. Nobody else is

(36:50):
sprayed with pepper spray. But here comes please from what
both sides and are spraying kids with pepper spray? Like,
how about we look at that and that's the most
important And how was that kick to the side where
planting the flag is the most important thing? Because yeah,
I get it, but that's happened before. There's gonna be
dancing on logos and you break it up, and that's
how it goes. The coach is getting to break it

(37:10):
up there officials getting to break it up. But no, no, no,
pepper spray is used by police because maybe whether the
Ohio State Police mad Ohio State lost the game, Michigan
police mad that this was happening to them on the field,
Like I don't know what happened, but that's what's got
to get looked into, and not you. Oh yeah, we're
looking into the fact the use of pepper spray. Kids
playing football that we're celebrating a win got pepper spray.

(37:32):
Not that. Hey, you watch one of the Buckeye star
players grab the flag and stomp on it, which was
actually kind of funny, Like that's how this is, that's
how this is officiated and judicated. But no, no, no,
the pepper spray. Yeah, we'll look into that. But you
can't plant the flag on our field now, But you'll
get into what the right thing is, I mean, instead
of instead of being all caught up in I still
can't believe we lost to Michigan now, I still can't
believe we lost to them. Well, that one is kind

(37:54):
of obvious, so you don't need to really do a
lot of grand standing on that one, the pepper spray.
But and you have your your acts and your charter
of how you escalate de escalate a situation, and the
police can go through and enumerate what happened and why
that action was held. That that one, I think you
can kind of go buy the books. In this case,

(38:16):
you got a guy saying this should be a felony,
and he's got a great story. So I don't want to,
you know, go harass him too terribly much. You know,
he had had some issues, was heard on a job
and and rallied back. But he didn't go to Ohio State.
So he's not even grand standing for them, for for
his alma mater, Like he's a graduate of the University
of Toledo College of Law. Yeah, but after going for

(38:39):
I don't even know where he's undergrad But where's Toledo.
Toledo's in Ohio, in Ohio. But then again, it's the
you know, the adopted college process. But all of that
to say, you know, he's decided this is what he
wants to run on. Forget about anything else that might
come up in the process of Rhodes School, anything else.

(39:01):
I stood up for the universe.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
I look at a time when they were under siege,
and you.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Look and the bottom line is, you don't need to
do this because what do we say right after it happened.
What do we say in the Monday after. There's gonna
be a rule instituted in the off season by college
people who will get together on this and say we're
outlawing flag planting. Can't do it, and that's gonna be
the end of it. They're gonna say, it was really embarrassing.
We don't want that to come. So no flag planting,
and you'll have to find up some other way to
troll the team when you win on their home field.

(39:28):
So that's a the half of your band do a
thing like they're defecating something like that, it's a felony
already escalated here to come to cops. Man, they saw
you run in the middle of the field of that flag.
You're better dropped that flag. Make sure your fingerprints aren't
on that flag, wipe them off and run away. All
of a sudden, Sippo Witz is on the jumbo trod.
You're getting a needle. That's just insane. Come on, man,

(39:49):
exit out out of Fresco, exit swelling, dump the Jason
Smith's AO with Mike Carmon coming up Next, the big
takeaway from the biggest NFL and college football story of
the day. Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, and you are listening
