Mary knows Mary's Mary's gen z. She's dialed right into
this looks a stalker. Yeah no, no, no, I mean
Harmon really, I mean stock down on Mike Carmen.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Not mean if that toake me five second.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
If I was doing the pop culture first round draft,
right now, you are slipping out of the first Okay,
I'd go love.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Actually, there you didn't say his name until I was
already in.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
The maze runner, and then I saw Brody, and then
I just kind of figured out that I gave you
everything like you are you are? You are slipping out
of the first round again.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
It was a show you and I were trying to do,
and she decided she needed to be missus Helper over
there trying to make me look bad four minutes in
the damn show.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
You're the shador Sanders locked, You're the I'm sure were Sanders.
You should have said you're falling out of the pop
Culture first round raft. You are falling out? Why did
everybody kiss his ass? Falling out of it? Also, you
couldn't get to that story.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Fast enough last night about him getting his coat for
his dad.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
The pop culture and Internet search draft. You are falling
out of the first round.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
I got fat finger, mel Kiper has Honestly, I really
didn't care.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Kuiper's got an arrow going down next to your name.
I'm sorry, that's how it goes.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
That's the guy we're gonna use as my evaluator. It's like,
you know what it was the last time, Mel Kuiper,
all right, I meant to Alex I'll explain it to you,
and we go back to nineteen eighty seven.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
The Jets have no idea what the draft is. I
saw the Dracula hair. I mean, what are we doing?
In better terms for you, it's like when you open
up a card catalog as you like to buy yourself card,
and you see a card and there's a big arrow
going down next to it because the value has decay.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Nobody does that.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
That would be it. They don't do that anymore.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
There's it's instant marketplace. Okay, there's plenty of places you
can find the last fifty sales of a certain card,
or it's parallel in a matter of seconds, kind of
like me was. I was gonna take one more search
term to get to where I was. I was going
down the decision tree. Okay, all right again because I
didn't know the kid's name. I knew the kid from

(04:37):
love X or.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Arrow going to row going down in the pop culture
and internet search app map you.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
I'm what's gonna come and have me killed?

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Arrow going down? He's gonna have me killed? Hey? I
want to say first things. First is that I want
to say thank you to the Philadelphia seventy six ers.
For deciding they were done playing basketball with a minute
to go in overtime. Okay, the nixt win tonight, and look,
obviously the big NBA news Karl Anthony Towns is out
bone chips in his thumb. He did not play tonight

(05:05):
because you know, the Knicks can't have nice things. He's
going to play through the injury. They looked at it.
Surgery is not and he got hurt against the Pistons
when he banged his hand against the backboard, wound up
playing the whole game. He says, look, it is what
it is. I'm gonna play. But the swelling was too
much for him for him to play tonight. So the
Knicks play the Sixers. There's no Karl Anthony tout, no
big Bodega, there's no Embiid. And it goes to overtime

(05:26):
and the Knicks get up one twenty five, one fourteen
with about a minute plus left to go in ot
Paul George hits a three to make it an eight
point game with fifty seconds left to go. Okay, so
what do you think what's gonna happen here? Sixer are
gonna extend the game. They're gonna at least foul a
couple of times to make the Knicks make free throws. No, no, no,
the Knicks next possession, they get twenty seconds. They dribble

(05:49):
off the clock and Jalen Brunson loses it on a
turnover and Max he goes in for a layup. With
twenty seven seconds left, it's a six point game. So okay,
Todd Bowles take over or what?

Speaker 5 (06:00):
So?

Speaker 1 (06:00):
All right, you know you think you would put him
on the free throw line, but you got the steal.
You made it a two possession game with twenty seven
seconds left to go. Now you're gonna foul. No, no, no, Sixers.
Let the Knicks get the ball across half court, pass around.
The Knicks take twenty three seconds off the clock. They
take the actually they take the full twenty four seconds
because they take the shot clock violation. Like I don't
know why Josh Hart just didn't shoot the ball up

(06:21):
at the end. Why he was throwing up the ball, like,
you take a couple more seconds off the shot.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
But he holds onto the ball. I mean he might
have come brass tacks. He holds onto the ball. The
Sixers just let all the time take away. Sixers get
the ball back with two seconds, three seconds left, down six,
the game is over, like the Sixers decided in overtime.
We're done where we are done playing. We fit, We're tired.
I know we hit a three to shut down early season.

(06:48):
Like that's like that's tanking. Like that's like, did you
not even halfway through the season? He just like tanked
in the last minute of the game. We're not even
going to try to at least make the Knicks go.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
To the free throw line once, but like this, this
is the thing, and this is why I say eventually,
and it could be there's not too much time left
before the deadline. Now we're getting in February six, We're
getting close. At some point, Joel Embiid is gonna say
I'm done here, all right. For all the talk about
Jimmy Butler or Zion Williamson and trying to make money work,

(07:16):
Joel Embiid still is a huge prize for somebody across
the NBA, because hey, motivated, When motivated, Joel Embiid is
as dominant player there is in the NBA, And you
want to think that maybe the next two postseasons. We
talked about with Steph Curry last night, the next two postseasons,
Joel Embiid is gonna be somebody that's gonna be really motivated. Okay,
I got.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Out here embarrassing yourself, putting those two guys in their
work ethic and.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Say what I'm saying is okay, Steph Curry, it's because
he's going to be forty. Joel Embiid, it's because he's lazy. Okay,
that's what it is.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Okay, but.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Make sure we put our baseline like it just feels
like Joel Embiid is done in Philadelphia, right He's he's
not playing, he's in and out of the lineup.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
He's done. He's absolutely done. But as we've seen with
NBA stars, whether it is Chris Paul or Kevin Durant
or James Harden or any of these guys that you think, boy,
they're just circling the drain. Now they're absolutely done. Oh no, no,
they've shut it down until they get to a new destination. Right.
I got James Harden, he's done with the Clippers. Why
do you do it? And now, well, wait a minute,

(08:19):
James Harden is playing pretty well. But we've seen it
with these players where they get that new destination and suddenly, Hey,
for the next couple of years, Hey, I'm happy. Yeah,
the new car he gets somewhere, and I'm not saying
you can count for more than that, but the next
two postseasons. So this one and then you figure next
year into the postseason. Joel Embiid could be a guy
that puts you over the top. He is done in Philadelphia.

(08:40):
They should build around Tyree s Maaxey. They have some
nice pieces there. He can be a one. Embiid is
done And if I wou was not gonna be surprised
if you find out sometime in the next week or two, Hey,
Joel Embiid wants a trade. He wants the Sixers to
get him out, and then some kind of trade can
be made somewhere else he wants to go. I would
not be surprised. And then suddenly he gets it's dealt
and then he's really healthy and he's playing every single game.

(09:03):
He's playing forty minutes. He's not pulling down on his shorts,
he's not tired shooting free throws now, and he'll be
back to being the Joel Embiid that Hey, when I
want to be the MVP of the league on the
MVP of the league. But trust me, watching the Sixers
game tonight at the end, I wasn't complaining because it was,
you know, helping the Knicks. But I just feel like
the sick they're done. They're just spinning their wheels until
something happens. And that's something that's got to happen. Is

(09:25):
Joel Embiid's going to demand a trade or they have
to understand we have to move Joel Embiid and maybe
they have the conversation you go, yeah, sure, but it's
got to be a place I want to go. And
superstars have the power. So it's not like we're gonna
be able to trade you to New Orleans for Zion,
but they can be something that's worked out, something that
can happen. It's not the first time I've said this,
but as you get closer, you can see the Sixers

(09:45):
look done. They just look like they're waiting for the
inevitable to happen. So we've got less than a month
left to go, and I know you want to time
it right. So it's something that you can hit it
with a bit of sense of urgency, where hey, we
have three and a half weeks till the tri deadline.
We tried for a couple of weeks it didn't work out,
Or you do it when it's a couple of weeks away,
so you put the pressure on the boy. We got

(10:06):
to get it done now, or we're risking keeping him.
So you want to time it right. If you're Embiid,
you don't want to say it too early, because then
the Sixers might say no, you want to do it
too late at the gank of the deal done. But
you want to time it just so, Hey, we feel
the sense of urgency to get a deal done and
Joel Embiid can get someplace else. The Sixers need to
move on, right, They're not getting better. The Eastern Conference
is getting better. Other teams are loading up and they're not.

(10:28):
You're rid of his salary. You can start over next year.
This is already a bad year for you. What else
are you gonna do? I'm telling you, Oh, Joel Embiid
on a different team on February seventh is the right move.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
I dig that because the only thing he did here
was cheerlead. He cheerleads pretty pretty well for those that
were unaware of the game particulars. He didn't play, so
it hasn't since the fourth so Paul George twenty six
even he was talking about being bored and all sorts
of stuff, so he's already, you know, put his flare

(10:59):
up into the air force.

Speaker 5 (11:01):
Here.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
This is a tenuous situation at best. Another great game
from Max Egoes wasted thirty three points from him. He
did take thirty two shots thirteen to thirty two. So
you know, we're talking about volume, the old Saturday Night
Live skit about making change about that. But all in
they do shoot fifty percent from the field, lose one here.

(11:25):
The MBI argument for anything is always kind of laughable, right.
We get excited about him for about three weeks and
then he's heard again. And look, he's a big guy.
The fact that he's had the career he's had after
those early surgeries, injuries and everything else is improbable and
incredible because it's felled many a big man. So I

(11:47):
you know, whenever we get into the criticism part of it,
we take that and you know, you give him his
doffing of the cap and salute you battled through and
became the player you did.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
But you know, week to week, but am I giving
up what I need to?

Speaker 5 (12:03):
You?

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Know what I'm handing, hanging out on the second apron
and all that stuff. Buger was trying to explain the
other day, how are we gonna make this trade work? Well,
we've got four white boards that we're bringing in and
you're gonna have to follow it.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
It's like the Daniel day Lewis draw.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
The way over here.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
That's how we drink the milkshake and get Joel and
beat into town.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, what do you got frost? But the real question
is do they sell bone chips at the bodega?

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (12:32):
They sell special bone chips? Special? No, you know what
they do is no, that's burnt down. Hang on, I'll
tell you what they do to make money is they
put that special new Karl Anthony Towns basketball card in
a set that comes with bone chips in the card
instead of a swat to turn that.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
Yet it comes with a bone chip. Now the cards
at the sure they do?

Speaker 4 (12:52):
Oh yeah, no, the bad all my baseball cards when
I was a kid.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
But I was a kid. But you got baseball cards
about data on every store. That's one hundred five and dime. Baby, Yes,
I'm both cats. That's where I grew up and that's
where I was able to get baseball cards at the bodega.
You never grew up. Sure, I'm still that guy. I'm
still sixteen years old sometimes and I'm fifty four times
I'm that way. But yeah, I know, real bone ships

(13:16):
in the card. That's the next thing. Actual blood or
things from people is the next phase of.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Oh we got some, I'll send you some. Really some
examples the bone spurs. But man, there have been hair
lockets of hair. I drank announces of hogs blood every day.
I'm never gonna die. By the way, does the love
actually kid get a bunch of Elon's money in the deal.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
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 (13:52):
Oh Happy Friday, everybody, Welcome to the Roki Sazaki Show
with my best friend Rokieses.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
It's a justin Frostburg takeover. That's where you say something
in Japanese. Smith to try to respond.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
I wish I could speak Japanese. I can't. I could
give you a little bit of Spanish. I could give you.
I was really I told you, I was really good
in Spanish in high school. But that was a long
time ago. Can't give you anything else, Okay, I want
an award.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
He was kind of funny, and now I have about
thirty percent of that capacity.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
You won an award for Japanese.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
No for Spanish.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Oh I thought you won an award for Japanese.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
It was a you know, they did a thing whereas
you know, non native speaker, you know, learning and hustling
and whatever. And I did well, and then I didn't
use it for a number of years and I forgot it.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
All everybody in the class is getting an award. What
do we give Harmon? Give him non native say, give
him a non native speaker hustle figuring it out award.
I don't care.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
Just give a toast, you know, just because me that
was your world.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
We did awards for each of the disciplines, including specialties
in the romance languages, and I was the most romantic
Spanish speaker of them.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
All. Give it to you and and it just put
hustle on there too. His parents will like that. He'll
like that hustle and a horror there just put it on.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
A bunch of people started screaming.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Elm mel to the crowd to give them.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
I think he just said Roky Sazaki is the greatest,
might be he might have that was that Rush Hour three?
Was that from?

Speaker 5 (15:25):
Was that?

Speaker 1 (15:25):
That sounded like Chris Tucker. It's like which one of
y'all kick me? It is The Jason Smith Show with

(15:45):
should be. But it's it's did nothing to do with
Spanish tonight, nothing to do The Los Angeles Dodgers have
added yet another potential feather to their caps, Roki Ssaki,
who was let everybody know on Instagram earlier today he
is joining the Dodgers. He has been the free agent
pitcher of the offseason, much like Yoshinoba Yamamoto was last year.

(16:07):
The Dodgers gave him three hundred million. Best thing for
Sasaki is he's twenty three and he doesn't cost a
lot of money. Right because of the way that he
gets posted and coming out from Japan, he only can
make a certain amount of cash. The Blue Jays tried
to free up some international cash today to make it worthwhile,
but it did not work. And Roki Sasaki, who now

(16:29):
will join the Dodgers' rotation, I don't know if there's
a spot if Clayton Kirsha wants to keep playing.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
I don't think there's a spot after last year, you
can keep banning another four guys.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Smith, come on, yeah, no, I'm sorry Clayton. It's awesome,
but it really just can't now. I already could see
a storyline developing, and I'm gonna put everybody at ease.
That's what I did. It's a Friday night, right, I
don't want everybody at ease, because how many baseball fans
are upset now walking around going, oh the Dodge? They
just get everybody? How does baseball let Susaki go to

(16:59):
the Dodgers? A Because it's free enterprise and it's called
free agency, and you can pick and do what you
want to in this country. So there is that, you know,
there's that part of it. That's why. Yeah, Look, there's
always going to be a great team, right. Sometimes the
great team in baseball is better than another years. Sometimes
the great team is terrific. Right, Look at the NFL.

(17:20):
We've gone from the forty nine Ers being the great
team of the eighties and then the Cowboys being the
team of the nineties, the Patriots a great team for
twenty years. Other teams still won Super Bowls, other teams
still got to the NFC Championship Game, other teams still
had big winning years. You're gonna get great teams, right,
but the Dodgers, Right, it's unfair because you know, here's

(17:40):
here's Otani last year, and he pushes all his money
off and they don't have to pay him for another
ten years, and they're able to sign all these guys.
This is how it works. This is how it works.
Everybody's got a fair shot. Guys can go play where
they want to play, Right, But I could see the storyline.
I could see it, Mike, I get. I can already
see these Dodgers. I don't hate the Yankees any I'm
gonna wear Yankee gear because I want to talk about

(18:03):
an underdog team that doesn't spend a lot of money.
I'm gonna wear my Yankee heear because they are the underdogs. Now, Like,
that's where this is going, That's where I could see
it right now, Well.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
We dialed up the evil Empire take what is two
years ago, long before Shoho Tani showed up, and that
just tips it over to the next level. And well
you mentioned free enterprise. This is not a situation whereby
you come in via normal draft. So yeah, you can

(18:32):
say beat it and try to roll the dice that
when you come back into the draft the next year
that someone else takes you and it's a more amenable
place that will meet whatever your price is, million dollar
man style. No, he had the opportunity to talk to
all thirty teams if he felt like it, and he didn't.
So if you're crying today like you, only fans that

(18:55):
I think have any reason to kind of feel salty,
feeling left at the altar Padres fans, although at this point.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
You'd be numb to it. This is runaway.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
Bride kind of thing of oh well it's got so
close to the altar.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
But no, uh, this is this is go blank yourself, Sandy. Anyway,
what did you just say, Oh, I've got to fire you. No,
I gotta fire your believe you said, Mike. Did I
not warn Padre Nation all four of them? You did?

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Month you did so every time it's Sasaki's name or
any deal baseball related, yep, you you were warning them.
You were the you were the old guy outside like
we used with the horror films all the time, saying
you really don't want to go in there, bad things
mess you up.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Uh, you don't want to go It was still Frostburg
said it was science, that this was happy. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
No, he said it was a done deal.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
And then there was the report that Sasaki a week
ago may have gotten on a plane with all the
Dodger players to go to Vegas. I don't know that
that was ever corroborated, but it made for a nice
little wrinkle. And and then obviously the Blue Jays, right,
you've got a couple of guys that have been a
Hall of famers that have popped through there. You got
titles many years ago. We celebrate Joe Carter, Frank Thomas

(20:07):
when he was a member of the Blue Jays, all
of those kind of things along the way. But outside
of that, nobody else had a chance in hell. Then
that was established weeks ago. It's gone. It's down to
three teams. And for the Dodgers infrastructure winning culture, you've
already got Otani and Yamamoto there. So you've already built
this internally. They've shown how successfully you can translate things

(20:34):
and come into the Dodgers organization. You've got all the
media assembled here, You've got your own little bubble that
you can work into and grow into your major league
baseball career. All of that is icing on the cake
compared to whatever dollars, because even at this point, there's
not a lot until the endorsements start rolling in.

Speaker 6 (20:54):
Now.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Look, now, so I said this, but Jason, you're not
making me feel better. I will make everybody feel better.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
I don't care about making people feel it's this saying.
It just sends you into your weekend full of hate
and derision.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
That's on you.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
What happened to you today? Man? What?

Speaker 6 (21:09):
What?

Speaker 5 (21:09):
What?

Speaker 1 (21:09):
What? What are you doing? What are you talking about? What?
Why can't you just be It's seven o'clock on a
Friday night, We're getting to do the show together. Everything
is awesome, right, and you're already saying.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
If you want to hate things as we go, hate stuff,
go hate everything, because I hate everything for some unknown reason,
I'm gonna hate.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Nobody said any of that.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
You just wanting your world upon mone just said you
want to You're okay, people feel better.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
You want people to take hate and derision into the weekend.
That was they needed to words.

Speaker 6 (21:40):
So you're this is.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
The thing that's gonna set you off. You got other
stuff you should probably be concentrating.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
I don't know about that.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
Now.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Look, I can still make everybody feel better despite the fact. Listen,
this is why we works the weather we're getting yang.
You hate everything, and and it's categorically untrue.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
I'm a love for not a fighter.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
No, I don't know about that. The way not see
that that that I could.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
I'm wearing a shirt that professes that songs will save
your life.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
All right, what have you had in your life? More
dates with with women or fights with your brothers? And
I mean fist fights. I don't mean like we disagree,
I mean dates with a woman or fist fights with
your brothers.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Women, come on now, really, come on, man, you're the
you're the you're the middle of three.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
You grew up in Chicago. Come on, man, there's no one.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
I mean, we we emulated what we were watching in
the wrestling world, and an occasionally there'd be a missed
uh miss bump that you'd get an extra smack to
the head. I took more from my mom than I
ever did for my brothers.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Uh yeah, okay, I think it is not even close.
Brothers will call and corp. Are they going to tell
me to say? I don't believe they're gonna tell me
the same story, not that they were allowed to come
on because they're still on the run for stealing that that. Uh,
listen to you, that stuff from the Bears.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
You've been on air all these years and you're you're
dodging felony charges.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
What was the other theft you copped you a week
in you can't even remember because you're making stuff up.
You can't even remember a week ago. I trust your
memory from when you were high school. You can't remember
a week ago.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Maybe it's all the blows that were rained down upon
me and I've got issues. What are you trying to say?

Speaker 1 (23:14):
But look, here's how you feel better about the Dodgers.
All the Dodgers. The Dodgers, Hey, are they the best team? Yeah,
but somebody's got to be the best team. It's not
like we're gonna walk in going well, nobody's the best team. No,
the Dodgers are the best team. But look at their
playoff last year. This is the team that won the
World Series. They were on the cusp of going home
in the first round of the playoffs against the Padres.

(23:35):
Padres had them up to one in a short series.
And the Padres, I don't know what happened to them.
They were all full of fire and brimstone and teasing
with the Dodger fans having all kinds of great times,
and they had the Dodgers in there, and they were
in the Dodgers' heads and the Dodgers needed everything they
could to come back and win that series. Right, they
barely got out of the first round. Next division round, right,

(23:56):
Division round against the Mets. Mets one twice Dodgers. If
they if they don't have Tommy Edmund turn into Stan
Bleep and Musual in that series, the Mets might win
that series. And this is an okay Mets team, right,
This is not a Mets team that had a bunch
of superstars top to bottom. This is Hey, we're putting
ourselves together, and this is not what we're gonna look

(24:17):
like when we become a dominant team in the next
couple of years. Now we're adding one so to all
of this. So an OK Mets team that had a
lot of chemistry and had an MVP type player in
In Francisco Lindor nearly beat the Dodgers. Tommy Edmund was
superhuman in the hits he had eleven hits. He had
eleven hits and ten runs and ten RBI. Come on, man,

(24:39):
that guy's gonna watch the NLCS on a loop the
rest of his life. He's not gonna go out and
watch movies. What do you wanna do? Hey, you want
to go see that new Marvel movie, The New Captain America.
Now I want to go home and watch Game two
of the NLCS?

Speaker 5 (24:49):
Is he a ha?

Speaker 1 (24:53):
And then you get to the World Series where the
Dodgers won in five games, but you had a walk
off Grand Slam when the Yankees brought in the wrong
pitcher went hey, why don't we bring in a guy's
actually been good? No, no, no, So you had to
walk off Grand Slam in Game one and he needed
three errors in a row by the Yankees in the
fifth inning to open the floodgates in Game five, where

(25:13):
the Dodgers won. This is not to disparage the Dodgers
at all. They were the best team. They won the
World Series. They made all the plays, but you see
how close each round was. This is not like the
Dodgers came in and it was three to zero, four
to oh, four to oh, and it's what, what the
hell are you gonna do? We're unbeatable baseball. When you
have great players, that buys you contention and it buys

(25:35):
you into the postseason. But whatever is the hottest team
always wins, and the hottest team is not always the
best team. Sometimes the hottest team is the best team.
But the Dodgers last year, what did they do out
of the Padres? Boy, the Mets what they really wanted
to play the Phillies. No, the Mets cooled off the Phillies.
They were hot, but they hit a bounce in the NLCS.
The Yankees hit a bounce in the World Series. Like

(25:55):
when you get to the postseason, the greatest teams are
still beatable series in seven game series. It happens that way.
So yeah, the Dodger. Look, the Dodgers got richer, and
it's awesome for them, right, and they're gonna come in
as the overwhelming World Series favorite. But in baseball specifically,
it doesn't mean that you're gonna win because just last year,
like I look at last year, there were ample times

(26:16):
in each of those series where they could have gone
the other way. They won. Now they didn't, and they
won because I want to say that because I know,
but we won. But no, I know, I'm gonna say
and they won. But each of those series could have
gone a different way very easily, and they didn't. This
wasn't an overall Hey, the Dodgers were unbelievably dominant. It
was more they rolled out there. They're really good players.

(26:37):
You watch the Yankees throw up on themselves. The Mets
were a little bit overmatched, the Padres fell asleep after
going up to one, and the Dodgers were able to win.
It doesn't mean they're unbeatable.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
I was waiting for Justin to come back over Tos
so I just paused, Mike, it's too low hanging, bro.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
I'm just gonna say this.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Sell me, hope, mister optimism, my over unders forty nine
and a half wins.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
I'll wait, wait, what do you think who wins more
games this year? Sasaki or the White Sox.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
That's a good question now, because you know I have
to be Joe negative and counter what you just said.
The injury gods across Major League Baseball might actually move
to a different clubhouse this year. Though that doesn't vote
well for the rest of Major League Baseball in that regard,
because you know, just maybe, just maybe they don't have

(27:29):
to go through how many pitchers? Was it forty as
many interviews as the Jets and the Bears? Mad for
head coaching or for your GM job. That's kind of
what we're looking at here. But look, this is seemingly inevitable,
Like the Fano snap, it's done.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Now.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
You just have to hope your power structure, whatever team
you love, they know what they're doing in terms of
bringing prospects up. Because the game is uh as it
pushes forward until there's a rule and a clause that
changes how you can defer money and play games with
contracts and a more rigid you know, second apron, third apron,

(28:14):
what are we calling it in baseball? I'm just kidding
three aprons? Right, But and Jill, you can get rid
of the deferred money and really play to a legitimate cap.
This this is all foolishness because you're gonna be chasing
three or four teams salary wise, which means you've got
to get everything else right. If you want to contend.

Speaker 1 (28:37):

Joining us Now, I'm the hotline nobody better to break
down these and all the other big NBA stories. Fox
Sports One NBA Insider check out Beyond the Ball podcast
as well. He is on Twitter at Rick Buker, Big
Bodega for MVP. That is his full line. Now, it's
at Rick Buker, Big Bodega for MVP. It is Rick Buker.
What's happening, buddy?

Speaker 4 (29:36):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (29:37):
The NBA is killing me, guys, it's killing me.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
What happened? What's going on?

Speaker 5 (29:43):
This?

Speaker 6 (29:43):
Darn the news salary capitals? Like you're gonna ask me
about Zion, you're gonna ask me about Jimmy Butler and
transactions are like, it's one of the reasons you guys
have me on, right, that's one of the who's going
with what are they gonna do? What's happening? And I
keep looking at it and talking to people in the league,

(30:05):
and they're like, we're not spending that money.

Speaker 5 (30:11):
They should do.

Speaker 6 (30:11):
It, they should do it, they should put do updates
on the NBA now on the Food Network, because all
we talk about are aprons, like the first apron, the
second apron. Where's where's Jimmy Butler going, Oh no, no, no,
second apron, No, no, no.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
No, We're on third and fourth aprons. Now, I mean,
we can't do that, and it's not happening.

Speaker 6 (30:32):
So it's it's an interesting dynamic. But the fact of
the matter is that you look across the league. You know,
owners have finally come up with rules because the salary
cap is for those who may not know, the reason
that there's a salary cap is because the owners can't
help themselves. They are for whatever reason, they will spend,

(30:55):
and they will spend and they will spend, and even
you know, with the luxury tax and all that got billionaires.
They're like, Okay, I can throw a couple extra million
if it means that we can we can get another
another player. But now it's you literally can't trade. Once
you get far enough over the salary cap. It then

(31:17):
becomes we got to trade one for one. You can't
aggregate players, and there's all sorts of restrictions that make
it almost impossible to go get It's even if you
were like Phoenix Sons. I'm sure Phoenix Sons would like
to make a deal for Jimmy Butler, but they literally
it's it's it's nearly impossible because it would mean getting
convincing Bradley Beal to wave his trade, his no trade,

(31:42):
and then sending him to Charlotte or Detroit, you know,
some some team that's close to having cap room or
is willing to make a move like that, and and
those teams are are that's not a place that Bradley
Beal is gonna wave his no trade for. So unfortunately,

(32:03):
you know that, I just don't expect that. As much
as the New Orleans Pelicans have to move somebody, they
can't sign resign brandon Ingram and keep Zion Williamson financially,
it just does not work for them. And I believe
the reason that you're hearing Zion's name is because actually

(32:23):
he might be easier to move because of the way
that his contract is written in the fact that Brandon
Ingram is a is offending free agent and can't be
guaranteed that you're going to be able to resign him
if you trade for him. So that's those are the
complications there. And then with Jimmy Butler, it's the same
thing that you know, it's it's going to sound weird,

(32:47):
but the Miami Heat are probably better served letting him
walk in free agency then signing him to the extension
that he wants, because they will lose all of their
caps flexibility. And now you're tied to a nucleus of

(33:07):
Tyler herro Ban out of bio and a thirty six
year old, thirty seven year old thirty eight year old
Jimmy Butler and unible basically unable to make any other moves.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
So that's.

Speaker 6 (33:22):
That was very long winded, but it's it's why I'm
sad today because the NBA has found a way to
just choke the life out of the kind of moves
that we love to talk about and that fans are
are thrilled by the possibility of big names going to
new places.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
So what you're saying is, Okay, it's going to be really,
really hard for Jimmy Butler to get dealt. It's going
to be really hard, but not quite as hard for
Zion Williamson. So maybe Steph Curry is ahead of the
curve when he said today, hey, don't make a move,
don't make a panic move just to make this team
better in the short term, like he was telling the Warriors,
don't go out in me make a trade.

Speaker 6 (34:01):
Yeah, and that that was a message directly to Joe
Lacum because Joe Lacam thinks that we're there are only
one piece away, like one more piece and and let's
let's let's do something. And I think that, you know,
the way Steph looks at it is like we're just
not We're not one piece away. So if we move
with Jonathan Commingia now or we you know, and Andrew

(34:23):
Wiggins or whatever it may be, that's not going to
dramatically change.

Speaker 5 (34:31):
Who we are.

Speaker 6 (34:32):
And so why do that at this point where again,
if you do make a move like that, you know,
and again from on a on a on on paper,
I could say, hey, you know, Jimmy Butler would be
a nice addition, except it would cost you Andrew Wiggins
and Jonathan comingo. Are you really better if if you
give up those pieces? And and you would have to

(34:54):
You'd have to either give up Draymond Green or or
Andrew Wiggins in the deal. And then the only reason
and that's not enough. They would have to be in
the deal to make it work. And then you'd have
to add Donathan Kaminga and at least at least one
more piece to financially make it work.

Speaker 5 (35:15):
And so.

Speaker 6 (35:17):
I just I'm looking at the possibilities. They took their
swings last summer. They tried to get Larry markin in,
they tried to get Paul George, couldn't make it happen.
Sometimes you just have to recognize this is not the
time for us to do it. And that's more the
case now than ever before because of the new Sally
cap rules.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
So Rick right as well, instead of talking about the
difficulties of making moves a team that maybe doesn't have
to do anything because they're running and brilliantly bouncing back
from a loss, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Yeah, they win a
game with Donovan Mitchell the other day where he goes
three of sixteen, and then they roll up on Indiana

(35:57):
here again tonight in a nationally Els game, and it
seems like the bandwagon's starting to fill up.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
Yeah, you know, it's funny. I was just working on
my all Star ballot and I'm like, well, I got
to have somebody from the Cleveland Cavaliers, I mean, and
probably Donovan Mitchell.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
But if you if you.

Speaker 6 (36:17):
Look at how they've been successful, it's like it's it's
by strength and numbers. It's Evan Mobley, it's Dart Allen,
it's Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell finding a way to
play together. It's they've just gotten it from a multitude
of places, and it's what makes them what makes them

(36:38):
so good as the regular season team. And then so
then we start to turn toward, Okay, well what can
they do in the playoffs? And I do think that
they are more prepared. I think they're more legit for
as a playoff team than they ever have been. But
it's still going to come down to, like we've seen

(37:00):
Donovan Mitchell time and time and time again, in the playoffs, right,
and you put a big athletic guy on him and
suddenly the game is not the same for him as
in the regular season. You gain plans for him.

Speaker 5 (37:13):
Now.

Speaker 6 (37:13):
The difference with Cleveland now is you know, the way
Darius Garland is playing and Evan Mobley is giving you something,
So it's not just Jared Allen, like, they have multiple
guys who can contribute. I just at this point, I'm
already like, I'm thinking, you know, second round for sure?
Can they get to the conference finals? You know that's

(37:36):
where they are. And that's the question, And what's going
to be the answer is does Donovan Mitchell is he
a different guy this time around in the postseason, or
if he's not, is Evan Mobley ready to step up
in a way that he's never before or Darius Garland.
That's going to be the question before me. But in
terms of their depth and versatility, and if you look

(37:59):
at all the teams all have a city in the
in the Western Conference, like all the teams that are
that are running away or at the top are all
teams where you know, in hindsight, if one of them
ends up winning a ring, we'll say, oh, this is
their big three.

Speaker 5 (38:13):
But the fact is they don't have big threes.

Speaker 6 (38:16):
They got like big or they got medium size, maybe
a big one or Vultron McDonald's.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Y'all have us a one super side, but a two
regular and a three stepper.

Speaker 6 (38:31):
Yeah, exactly, exactly, which is a happy meal?

Speaker 1 (38:36):
Yeah, f as was Rick Buker, our guest to Jason
Smithson with Mike Harmon live from the tirec dot Com studios.
All Right, I want to hit you with something we
said on the show a few nights ago. I don't
want you, I mean agree or disagree. Okay, by the
end of this season. By the end of the By
the end of the season, it will be widely accepted

(38:57):
that Wemby is the best player in the NBA.

Speaker 6 (39:02):
You picked the wrong guy to talk about him that, right.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
Wait, Ricky just dunked on the Lakers again. Hang on
a second, it's on.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
Michael Cooper Knights had another reaction shot of them playing
no defense in the force.

Speaker 5 (39:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (39:16):
Yeah, Well, but here's the thing I like. I'm I'm
a big fan of what wemb and Yama is going
to be, but everybody has him already as the runaway
to win defensive player. Of the year it's been since
I think the playoffs last year, Gobert didn't.

Speaker 5 (39:37):
Look so good.

Speaker 6 (39:37):
Everybody's like Webby finished second. Why did he finished second?

Speaker 1 (39:41):
I didn't go Bear say hey, I'm glad I got
this one before Wemby starts winning the ball. Didn't he
say that when he won his award?

Speaker 5 (39:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (39:47):
Yeah, We're never like so ever since then, it was like, well,
Wemby's Wemby's going to get the next one no matter what.
And while certainly I you know, he's a factor and
very well should win, I don't think he's a runaway.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
I mean, guy, he's he still needs.

Speaker 6 (40:08):
To get stronger because guys are willing are able to
not bump him off. Anthony Davis, for as bad as
the Lakers were, was completely comfortable against him when thirteen
for eighteen. Some of that was against Charles Vassy, obviously,
but he didn't have any problems stepping out and scoring
over over over Wemby and offensively, Like, I'm watching him

(40:33):
and maybe this is look, maybe this is my personal pecadilla,
But I watch him on the break pull up twice
to shoot threes, missing both of them, and I'm like, Okay,
I gave you the first one, like it's from thirty feet,
Like whatever, you made one earlier, Okay, you're gonna come
down and do it again, Like you dude, you are

(40:54):
seven whatever and lethal? Why are we pulling up and
shooting thirty footers? So I feel as if his game
still has to mature to put him in that category
of best player in the league, because I need to
be able to play through him if he's going to

(41:15):
be the best player in the league. And I see
all too often that it really is. It's still Chris
Paul organizing them. It's it's still Define Castle making plays. It,
it's other guys constributing. He's a big part of it,
and he'll eventually get there. But in watching him this year,

(41:36):
I feel like maybe the absence of Greg Popovich has
allowed his game to be remain a little more immature
and inefficient than it would if pop will with them.
And can I say one thing I want to I
want to And I don't know if you guys have
talked about this, but on the Jimmy Butler case, right,

(41:59):
pat Riley has been getting and I don't know if
you guys have talked about it, but it's like you know,
it's a damn shame that pat is handling Jimmy this way,
and players are never going to come to Miami again
and look at all that Jimmy has done for them.
And I'm thinking, you know, however you feel about this
particular situation, pat Riley has been in Miami for thirty years.

(42:23):
They have or damn near.

Speaker 5 (42:25):
For thirty years. They have made the.

Speaker 6 (42:27):
Playoffs twenty four out of those thirty years, only once
have they missed the playoffs in two consecutive seasons. You
can't say that about the Celtics, the Spurs, name any
other franchise. They've never been that consistent in terms of
always being a postseason team, being one of the better

(42:51):
teams and sometimes the best team in the league. And
this idea that pat Riley doesn't know what he's doing,
or that Jimmy Butler of all people, is going to
change the template and that he should be cow towing him.
He's rebuilt and redone this team four or five times

(43:13):
over and made it into a viable team with like
one season off. So I just do not want to
hear any sort of critique of how pat Riley is
handling this situation because He really is the og of
all OG's and his track record speaks for itself.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
He defends and loves pat Riley. He defends and loves
Steph Curry. He hates Victor Wembin Yama. He is Rick Buker,
the Knicks and the Knicks. Don't forget the Knicks. He's
on Twitter at Rick By Wemby. That's at Rick Buker.
That is at Rick Buker. Check out the On the
Ball podcast has Quad Shot Mellows value the King Surge.

(43:59):
More on Wemby's d defense The Ascension of Cad Cunningham.
I was just two years too early on the Ascension
of Kate Cunningham again. It's right up there now it
went up again. Check it out on Rick's page. At
Rick Buker on Twitter, You're.

Speaker 6 (44:11):
Gonna get me pushed into the riverwalk.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Hey, look at TMZ. Wemby actually picks up Rick Buker
and throws him into the riverwalk like the Walk, but
he's treating him like Hulkin Loki from the Avengers.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Well, I mean, we got a movie coming out in
a month, Rick.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
It would be good promotion if if Wemby actually did
that to go.

Speaker 6 (44:29):
So much I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Rick. We'll talk to you next week and I'll pencil
you in for Wemby's Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Speaker 5 (44:36):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (44:37):
I'm glad to speak on his behalf longevity.

Speaker 1 (44:45):

Speaker 1 (44:57):
Joining us now the Hotline for the first time this
year NFL on Fox Insider Extraordinary Jay Glazer and I know, Jay,
it's been an absolute wild week for you with the
fires here in Los Angeles. You say, if your family
is safe, everything okay.

Speaker 5 (45:12):
We actually got back in our house. Thank you guys,
our house we are, Thank god, we're safe. We got
back in our house about two hours ago. We've got power,
no hot water or no heat, which just means I
guess it's struggle with Rosie times. I'm good and but
you know it's it's it's wild because we're our old

(45:35):
house was which is just a couple miles down the road,
is completely gone, as is everything over there. So it's
kind of like about four miles down from us, everything
south without is gone. Everything north about is here. I've
got a lot of friends who lost everything. And listen, guys,
one thing I will tell you here. I was on

(45:56):
ground here about eleven and it's worth the never happened
to us, and the best of people came out And
the same thing is happening here, like the worst of
times brings out the best of people. Some about that
God is saying, this is how I want you to act.
Can you please act like this? Not just in timete
tragedy and it's it's been, it's just it's it's it's

(46:22):
let's we haven't better than the most, but which exhaustings? Uh,
just being displaced and not knowing and you know we
came up there, I met with the Uh it's pretty
well the cross Like now I've figured out though, like
where my house is probably saved. This place here because
the ground zero for the fire department. It's pretty much
right almost cross the street, a little bit down zoom

(46:44):
a beach, but it looks like a military base. It
goes on for about a mile. There's four thousand fire
men and women and support staff there, four thousand and
from you see, we drove past, say and there's two
we just got back up here and there's cars from everywhere,
like fire trucks from everywhere, not just here, And there's

(47:06):
tents for them on the beach for them to ti fire,
come back to sleep. But it's not like there's a
lot of fire. There's a lot of people here from
I mean it goes different countries, different states. Well you know,
think about that. Where are they going to sleep? So
there's all these tents set up, there's all these trucks
set up for them, there's trucks set up for shout,
there's all these I mean, there's so many volunteers to

(47:29):
set up for like food and for you have. I
think also like it's strenuous. They have like counter practice
and physical therapist here for these guys to put their
bodies through. It was just it's amazing. I'm actually going
back tomorrow in the morning to bring more supplies and
just talk mental health, whoever needs it, whoever I can

(47:51):
just be around, just be around them, and it's really
part of it too, like just giving your time to them.
I think it was a lot when I realized the
other day when I went there and went with Rosie
and they're kind of making a big go over her,
which is good. Funny. So we had a little we
had a little levity there, which is good. Look laughter, right,
I always say it farm up pillars like laughter. Fights

(48:14):
to that gray, and this was this is beyond gray.
This is they're in for a tough fight too, because
after they put these fires out right now, then god,
they're contained. They said, you know, our next fights to
be really hard. We have to go kind of search
the house to house for for for bodies and remains,
and so there's gonna be gonna be a really it's not.

(48:37):
I just I don't want people to think, Hey, the
fires are out and the fight's over. It's not the case.
Like I think, the struggle is just beginning for a
lot of people.

Speaker 4 (48:47):
Good to hear our guys voice. Things are turning in
a positive direction. He's on the ground and helping out
and obviously nationwide globally wherever you can help chime in
as well, uh, Jay Glazer our guests here on the show.

Speaker 6 (49:00):
Jay.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
Some news in the in the Fox line, a lot
of speculation about Tom Brady, uh in the broadcast world,
his ties to the Raiders and what it all means
and what his tenure happens. I mean, you've been working
with Tom and we've had a couple of great clips
with you this year on the pregame show, what's the
expectation going forward?

Speaker 5 (49:20):
Every time I've talked to him, he's like, I'm doing
this for ten years, like he loves it, and I'll
tell you this, he is working his butt off. Father
seats like people have no idea what he's doing. I do.
A lot of people talk to you like he is,
but he's not one of the likes. He's a private dude.
He is working so hard to be great at this,
and I think, like Tom Brady thought it's the greatest something.

(49:42):
He ain't gonna stop till he's like, not just great,
but the best of it. So I think everyone else
is speculated without really even asking him. Maybe they should
ask him. Why don't you ask him for a novel idea? Right?

Speaker 1 (50:01):
I tell you gonna tell me he's your new Uber driver.
I thought that was gonna place?

Speaker 3 (50:05):
How long years?

Speaker 5 (50:07):
How long? Don't ever take that job? From how he
longed he lives for that. By the way, By the way,
recently I raised the uber raiding up to four point
one stars.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Whoa won He was.

Speaker 5 (50:22):
Down the tooth for while he was down the two
fu while he was getting lippy. I didn't like it.
I don't like my uber driver, thought back to me,
and get lippy. You know he tell a spectacular job
of driving me around?

Speaker 1 (50:37):
Has he been suspectacle the swim move that he patented
in nineteen eighty five and driving me around the two
greatest things?

Speaker 5 (50:44):
And hell, I mean let me tell you, Let me
tell you that again. The Howie Long you got to
see this? You know this square dude? How he the
baddest s ob you ever played? You know that position? Right?
And and Brody one of the nastiest humans who've ever
played football, Like he's a bad soob. Or my son
he's like eight or nine years old. And Sammy says, Daddy,

(51:06):
I got to do a book report. I'm not gonna
say what the player is, and I gotta do a
book report on such and such. I said, well, why
don't you call Uncle Holley. Uncle Howe probably knows him.
You you could call Clowe. And my eight year old
son called uncle Howe. Is uncle Howie? I got to
do a book report at such and sun and how
he goes, Yeah, that rat bastard cut me in this game.

(51:28):
My knee is a I'm a smash. I'm gonna kill
this dude. Like I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Sammy
is like, oh my god. I'm like Sammy, that's not
part of the book report. And I'm like, dude, you
have the phone with Sammy. Yeah, well, Sammy, know what
kind of guy's doing a book report on rap bastard
and cut my knees out in this game? We can

(51:50):
kill this dude. I got me. I'm like, Sammy, then
he should do a book report on the real how
we long?

Speaker 1 (51:58):
Daddy? What's a chop block? Can you explain that? What is?

Speaker 5 (52:03):
Bro? You're talking to an eight year old, but old
Howie he clicks over. It looks over. You do not
want to be in the crosstairs and hence the two
point two rating. At first, that's it.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
I'm going to a card show and I'm going to
ask for the inscription of Zippy.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
All right, Well, hey Jay, let's get to the coaching carousel.
A couple of big stories, obviously, the Cowboys opening. Dion
Sanders has mentioned, Jason Whitten has mentioned what's happening in Dallas.

Speaker 5 (52:35):
That's not really What's what's going on right now, they're
just kind of kind of going through They've got I'm
kind of opening the back here a little bit. But
they have a couple of different ways they want to go.
You know, Dion and Jerry are really really really close,
like is like a second son. It like he loves

(52:56):
But I'm I don't see what happening, you know, And
I think you know, they love Jason Witten do, but
that isn't the thing of like, hey, let's just hire
something that we love. Like, It's just it's just not
what they're going to do. So so they got Robert
Salah coming in here soon. They're bringing tell them more
in But I think they're sitting there going, Okay, what
are we really going to do here? Because they have

(53:17):
a couple of different grades to go. I know they
actually they like their offensive stuff. They love actually what
Michael Clark and Brian I Shot Hummer do with dak Now,
we'll be surprised if they can't fight it in there.
But I think right now too, there's kind of like, Okay,
which way we're going to go to? And then I
think it's early for them.

Speaker 4 (53:38):
And then we got the fun and exciting, always swirling
world of Bill Belichick.

Speaker 5 (53:44):
Too. They missed their window. I'm talking to like Ben Jonathan,
Aaron Glenn. Aaron Glenn was there all right, And Aaron
Glenn is a phenomenal choice. If we want to keep
your offensive staff and you want to get a guy,
all right, we already know this guy and the phenomenal
coach and motivator and defense coach, that's a great choice.

(54:04):
But they missed her window. They can't talk to now,
you know, I think until what don't I want to
talk about? I think about is it the pot week
for them if they make it over the Super Bowl?
I don't remember that. There's so many rules to change,
but they can't do it now.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
The Jets are going to get Aaron Glenn. Jay right,
we're putting out at the Jets are going to get
out the.

Speaker 3 (54:21):
Twentieth guy on this. The Dungeons and Dragon died bring.

Speaker 5 (54:24):
A couple of teams are gonna like Aaron Glenn, hoping
he's just Jets. I'm saying. If I'm Dallas, I'm like, man,
we know him. If we like our offensive staff, great,
gotta go after How am I saying? That's where they're
going to go? I know they don't know where they're
going right now.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
Jake Lazer with us here on Fox Sports Radio. You
want to check out Unbreakable, a mental wealth podcast. And
I know a great guest this week, a very difficult guest.
You had Jay, You had body by Jake Jake steinfeld
On and unfortunately he lost everything in the fires. What
was that conversation? Like with him?

Speaker 5 (54:57):
Everything? He has to be sure on his back literally,
that's it. And I want to say something here because
people have commented about rich people losing their homes. That
is such an ignorance statement. The rich people lost their homes,
became rich and got there because they worked their freaking
asses off more than anybody you could ever a mess.

(55:21):
They've got knocked down more than anybody else. They've got
rejected more than anybody else. And it's in stuff. So
it's such a garbage thing for people to go, oh,
it's a bunch of rich people. That is such a
horrible thing today and when tragedy strikes everywhere else, people
don't go, oh, it's a buch of poor people. It's
a bunch of middle class people. We don't do that's
not the right thing. As Americans. You've come together so

(55:43):
that's garbage. So here's Jake Sonfeld, who, Yeah, he's lived
in my house for forty years and he literally has
the closed off his back. And guys, I showed a
clip today with the clip tomorrow is the one you're
gonna want to see because he talks and he looks.
Tell you by Jake is that he's the first infomercial

(56:05):
guy for Wait in America. He was the first personal
trainer ever in Hollywood. He was a loofer. He knows
body double on The Incredible Hope and the Legend right,
and he starts crying on podcasts and the reason why
that's how somebody make a remark today too about all
possessions are for the week. Shut up. He said, ma'am,

(56:30):
I'm a like that crazy dad. I saved every single
thing for my kids ever that I got anything they
ever did in school, and he never saved them all.
And then he just started crying. He goes, it's all gone,
and he said, and I try to like do my
thing where I pumped someone up, but Jay, the memories
never gone. And he's like, Jaday, I love you, but

(56:51):
you're not You're not there, Like you're not You're not
going through it. It's it's gone. And and he is
like he's he's one of the strongest people I know, so
he has every right to CRY's the only question in
his manhood. And he's a really close friend of mine.
But he's right. I'm out there. I mean, I just
had to evacuated. He lost everything, right down to everything

(57:14):
beside literally the clothes that he has on his back.
And I'm wanting to do this podcast with him because
I want to understand people understand the pain that the
rest of us are in because we need you right now.
We need our teammates, and our teammates are the rest
of America. And god, I was down there and ground

(57:35):
zero for nine to eleven and oh my god, the
kindness and everyone becoming teammates together, it was it lifted
us all up. We all need it, Katrina R. D. Harvey.
We all became teammates. And I hope I listened to
his podcast. You're understand how much we all need you

(57:58):
as our teammates get through this. This ain't gonna be easy.
Like again, there's there's a Lars, but most of my
time is gone and we love you, and it's uh,
it's it's it's hard to see if it's it's hard
to see people have work their whole lives for something
and it's all gone and like it's not it stops,

(58:18):
just not. It is those memories with kids and grandkids.
Some things you just can't get back. So we need
our teammates now more than ever. So please listen this
