Mike Harmon hu da last hour of potentially having the
fart won too many times on the show. You got
a listen a little show, gotta listen. The whole show
just had a brain freeze. So had a I had
a brain freeze, you could have just said brain I
had a brain fart. You could have just said that

(01:15):
I did. Last last hour, I admitted that it was
a brain fart. You meant to say fight. You said fart.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
I wanted to talk about fighting and open mouths, say
things the power and glory.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
That is live radio, no script, no, no, remove, that's
what it is. Not a bunch of callers and and
other things.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Over four hours we're talking and occasionally the brain just
finds the wrong word.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Now we have some audio that you absolutely have to
hear coming up in about twenty minutes. Is it going
to be me talking about far It's not. No, it's
not gonna be that. It's gonna be it's gonna be
something that you shouldn't even say even more than that
on the air. How about that? Yeah, Uh, let's just
say the NBA on TNT really hit the all Star

(02:02):
break instrument.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Well, I mean, look, at some point you hit your
breaking point. In this case, I didn't curse.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
No, no, I'm I. We certainly said much worse.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
No you do.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Man.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
We've had to dump you multiple times stop not me,
guests on the actually have we not?

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I mean multiple? I think in eleven years you had
to dump me twice.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Yeah, that was last month.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
That was not less.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
You should hear yourself sometimes, you know what how about.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
You know I could. Boy, No, if I make that joke,
it might be too much over the line. I mean
we're after ten o'clock. Go ahead. No, no, Like, you
just learned about safe harbor training.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
You're good.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
I know we just did. We just you just can't
sound any of bell's whistles or alarms. We just did
compliance training too. Yeah, no Plugola, Paola or whatever. I mean,
we're in safe harbor and someone I always really wanted
to start a podcast and call it safe Harbor, Like
that would be a great NAP patent pending. I want
to call that. That would be a great name for

(03:03):
a podcast. Safe That's good, Like, I don't know what
the content would be. It would be where I would
come up with a name for something and then have
the content around it, which sounds like a weird idea,
like from a comedy movie. No, we don't have ideas
were going with names for stuff and then have the
content around it, like save Harbor. I don't know what
it would be like. Would it be a lot of cursing,
would it be a lot of you know, outlandish material?
I don't know. Well, it's like our chart movie game

(03:25):
that we play every March true TV or not. Now,
speaking of of big parties, I don't know where the
best super Bowl party was, but I tell you where
the worst super Bowl party was. And now there's video. No. No,
if I had a party, smart guy, I wouldn't invite you, foul,
I wouldn't need I wouldn't need a guy there going.

(03:45):
All the foods you're eating is not good for you.
None of you should be eating these, these nachos or
these sliders. None of you should all be eating quinoa.
None of you should be eating colliflower. That is a
fake good food. Wait, why why are you pushing me
to the door, Jason, what's going on? Why I'm just
telling people I should be eating I don't understand. I
want to see the commercials ty shirt. I'd invite you
to my party.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Thank you, because you know you'd have a great sign.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
We would have a great time. It would be that
would be a party where Harmon would invite you. You
would show up and you were gonna go my first one.
Here it gave in the middle of the second quarter.
Oh okay, I guess it's you and I watched the game. Disrespectful,
You just didn't invite.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Me to your party.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
You didn't invite it, Tyshirt. You just said a party
and invite you.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
You didn't say you dismissed him, saying you said his
culinary habits and and his opinions on what we know.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
It doesn't.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
So I was saying I would include him. No, No,
Jason might shun you, but I wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
You didn't say you'd include me or Monsey or Ian
who you wouldn't say anyway, It just ty I'd invite you,
So okay.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
No, no, But you disrespected and shunned him. You didn't
extend that to Ian, or to Monsey or to me
in that Matt, I told you how in this case,
I didn't extend it to the rest of you. It
was the one to one to try to include Tyser,
where you shunned him and sent him off into.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Told you how he would be at a Super Bowl part.
I don't think he would be. I would really.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
I just spent three hours making juice. Imagine what I
make for your party.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
I brought all this healthy job. I'm taking all the
pop and soft drinks.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, but the juice might be a nice backing to
an alcoholic drink.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
I just said you would come and talk to everybody
about eating healthy, and instead you said, no, I wouldn't
do that, but I'd bring healthy drinks to give them everybody.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I'm saying, if I spent three hours making my juice,
of course you would imagine what i'd make for your party.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
You just said what I said. You just admit it. Yeah,
you would come and healthy, stuffybody.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
He might take some of those beautiful strawberries that he gets,
and maybe he'd dip them in some chocolate.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
No, knowing that you love chocolate, would you ever dip
strawberries and chocolate if I could feed it to you? Now,
it's like one of those Greek tapestry pictures where the
guys are in loincloths and they're food and grapes are
being fed to them.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Is that your weekend party?

Speaker 5 (06:03):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (06:03):
As far as you know it was put the keys
in the If I spend three hours for myself, imagine
what I would do for you and your party.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Is what I was saying.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Okay, you'd bring more healthy stuff until people eat the
healthy stuff.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
I make like baked back in cheese. Really, oh, I
do the best stuff for you.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Really?

Speaker 3 (06:18):
I make some like angus sliders. Oh I don't push
my stuff on other people.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Think you're absolutely lying. No, he just created a menu
for you for a party.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
He's just waiting on it Innymore, Mike, I'm come.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
To your place, all right.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Well we'll make that happen. You're thinking a menu with Tysher.
It's the movie The Menu where suddenly you show up
and like, oh wait a minute, Tyser's exacting is a
revenge against everybody who's ever wronged him before. It's a
hell of a movie. You're gonna be dressed up like
a marshmallow and lighting you on fire.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
That followed by Midsummer I mean we got a party.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Ah, my eyes are bigger than my stomach. Can I
have it to go bag for this great cheeseburger?

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (06:55):
The the Worst super Bowl Party boiler turned out to
be the Chief Super Bowl Party. Yeah. The guy who
was hired to DJ the Super Bowl party put out
a video on social media of him djaying to an
empty room because none of the players showed up. Apparently,
in the beginning part of the night, some fans were there,

(07:18):
and Shaboozi was there and performed in front of a
handful of fans. But when he came on to DJ.
There was nobody in the room, and he's got video
of him. He's spinning records and he's yelling out to
the crowd, and he shows, he shows the crowd, and
there's nobody in the room, nobody on the dance floor.
It's an absolutely empty room because all the players decided,
I'm not going to We just got our asses kicked

(07:39):
in the super Bowl. I'm not going to this party.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
He's kind of tough, right, it's just conceptually it fails. Right,
we've just lost the super Bowl. But now let's have
a party. Now I can understand, Hey, you want to come,
there's an open bar. We'll have someone spinning a little bit.
But to try to get a hype DJ thing going, yeah,
it's not gonna work.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
That's chaboozy, I mean getting some runs still. Well, No,
I love Chaboozy, and I actually love like No.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
I think you'd like the concept saying it's like tomorrow's
Valentine's Day. I think people like the concepts Chboz more
than the actual celebration of it. Like those folks that
were cluttering up the the intersection with their makeshift flower
stand on the corner, and guys stopping and creating chaos
as they jump out to buy some flowers.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
I just like saying shahbooz shaboozy. It's like my daughter
in high school now gets point where next year she
takes uh an ap class in science and she wants
to take ap environmental science and she goes dad, everybody
takes apes, right, because that's they call it apes. I go,
everybody takes it, everybody like it. Well, I don't know,

(08:50):
but everybody takes it. I go, does everybody take apes
because it's cool? It's social currency that says, is he
taking apes? I'm just the easiest of the science classes.
Is that why people take?

Speaker 3 (08:59):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
People take it because they think it's cool to say
I'm taking apes. I'm taking apes.

Speaker 6 (09:03):
Yes, we're taking apes apes apes is so cool to
say apes, like, is it a good class? I don't
even know, but it sounds cool, So I'd say, hey,
we're taking apes, apes and so good apes? Apes, apes,
ap environmental signs. Oh it doesn't sound great, but I
might be. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
People are hurting the in want to take apes. Apes
sound so cool? We're taking apes, taking apes? Apes? Apes?

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Our electric cars better than gas, podcasters say the right thing,
say the right thing.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
I would say, hey, do you get to watch Planet
of the Apes? Like that would be I want to
come to school with you because those are my favorite
movies of all time. Oh, I mean I can't watch
to see that Soiling Green. Oh wow, you went over
the edge there with Soiling Green. Why because you know
another Charlton Heston movie. Well so has Ben her but
I mean, you know, wearing a loincloth trying to stop

(09:52):
some kind of chariot. Well, some folks like those movies
Planet of the Ape, even the remake the last Planet
of the Apes was fantastic. Get the wall We're going on?
Just no, that was terrible. No, you have to watch it.
And I look so forward to that for so long.
And I was supposed to get James Cameron and Schwartzenegger.
I'm like, this is gonna be awesome. It'said. I got
Tim Burton and Mark Wahlberg, and I'm like, this is
the worst. Tim Roth was great, This is awful. Yeah

(10:15):
he Michael Clark, Yeah no, no, no he was Yeah
he played an ape. Yeah I didn't play an ape.
Yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
For Fear and Loathing.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Uh what what?

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Well, Johnny Depp that why would you that?

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Did you? You could just bring up any movie? I mean,
why if you're a low We just kind of opened
it up about how about Strawshnike Redemption? How about how
about how about uh not fair about Fresco? How about
how about The Wizard of Oz? How about that? How
about He's Got Monkeys? How about the thirty nine Steps?
How about that? How about uh, how about whatever happened
to Baby Jane? How about how about Superco?

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Like we bring up eighteen Monkeys?

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Just any movie that is in twelve monkeys?

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Oh, no, thirteen monkeys, No, thirteen twelve.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
I was thirteen.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
It's thirteen.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
It's twelve monkeys. Brad Pitt movie twelve monkeys, look it
up twelve month? Was it only twelve twelve months to give?
Make it a Baker? Thirteen Monkeys was the sequel that
came out. Brady didn't want to do it, so Shilah
buff did it instead. So it was that that was
make your dream. I can't bereave you both thought it
was thirteen mins. Now, how did you think it's thirteen monkeys?

Speaker 4 (11:16):
Well, thirteens Where you become sane.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Is a thirteen months it's Ocean's thirteen ah, twelve monkeys. Okay, okay,
twelve next time, keep the weight off. Twelve monkeys. Why
don't you go have yourself? Some kids exit Upresca, exit
swollen dump. I'll see you when I see it. That
is I gotta think if you do anything creative for
a living, like like we do that. If you are

(11:40):
at a point where you're at a party, you're at
some kind of event and nobody is there, that's like
the that's like your own personal hell like that, I'm
gonna go do something and no one's gonna be there.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Friend instead of released books and they try to do
a book signing, and that's the friend and family thing.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
I think about that, like that's so and back to
me to you not boy, nobody wants to come see
me do what I do. Like I thought I was
a big well enough. Now there's nobody there like and
then me and J said I was hired at the
last minute, like we need you, we need it's gonna
be a hot party. And then they didn't win and
nobody showed. Hey, look as long as the EFT happened
or the check cleared, well, I'm sure paid. I don't

(12:21):
think he didn't get paid.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Hey did he do it thinking he was gonna get
some juice being in the room with influencers and powerful
people around the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
That's a cool thing.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Well, but maybe you're spinning the Chiefs party. Sure, but
maybe you took less than your normal rate. Maybe maybe
they said, hey, this is a great opportunity, so we
can get you to come on the chief I don't.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Know the dwell that j are. It is the Chiefs.
But now you're really gonna Nickel and Diamond DJ. You're
paying to have Shaboozi show and somebody else big was
there too after that? Yeah, like I like saying shaboos.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Sure you're really in investing with Did you like shabooz
performance when he was a half.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Past I like Shabooz. I look forward to Shaboozi before
we in Detroit, only because Shaboozy should No. I like
that one song they play on the radio, they play,
they play it. Since that's they've been playing a lot
more of his songs on the radio. Well that'll happen. Shaboozy, Chaboozy, Shahboozy, Shaboozy.
Maybe they'd come to the party if they knew Shaboozy
was showing up. He was there was actually I think

(13:19):
they actually used video a shot of where it's Shaboozy
on stage and it looked like there was because the
only shot the frame it right three roads surrounding stage.
But like this guy's DJ into an empty room. You
know what I mean, Sometimes you win and sometimes you
know when. And in this case, everybody took their l

(13:40):
and decided not to show up at a party. I
say k C, you say Chiefs. I say KC. You
say chiefs, k C.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
K C.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
And the Sunshine Man case because I mean, remember what
happens after losses. If you're seen partying and being too happy,
now you're a bad guy. You didn't about it enough, right,
Travis Kelsey went out to dinner with Taylor Swift, Patrick
Mahomes and his wife.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
And then then I'm back at the hotel. But those
four were vilified for going out to eat.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, hey, they're not They're not locked in enough because
they went out to eat dinner.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
You stay home and eat. So like in the PostScript
of a game, we got your ass kicks, I'm expecting
you to go out and eat and it's be like
that McConaughey commercial where it's raining on him on that
side of the street, but you have to sit there
and eat your dinner there. Well, what a he harrels
and his friends eat on the other side of the street.
He's chuck lnatch and laughing. Did you like him as ditka?

(14:36):
Oh dude, I've been how much have I been running
those lines? But I mean the entirety. I thought that
was a great commercial history of football and food. I mean,
I thought it worked well because I didn't know what
that was going. To be sure, it was just him
doing that dick compression, which was his We know it
was an uber eats, but it's like, all right, how
does it connect? What are we doing? The bears? No? No, no, no, no,

(14:57):
the bears No bears? Oh do I really have to
be called the fridge bears?

Speaker 5 (15:03):
Up?

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Bears?

Speaker 3 (15:05):
No?

Speaker 1 (15:05):
I'm glad because when I saw I said, oh, now
it kind of makes sense, Like I get the whole
The hook of the commercial was what what the hell
make you go? What the hell is that? That was funny?
But I don't know what. Everybody loves bacon and then
you understand and then you get it when you watch
it Yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
It's okay, and Greta Gerwig shows up. They could have
played well they needed with shallow and we can really
have the adult come together.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Greta McConaughey, got a great idea. Hey, Gerwig, got an idea,
got idea for you. I'm in let's go exit out

(17:15):
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. The Jets
let Aaron Rodgers go today, there moving on. They don't
have a quarterback. You got Jordan Travis. Yeah, Fox Sports Radio,

(17:36):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen live from the
tirerack dot Com Studios. I didn't say anything incorrect, just
really quick before we get to the NBA shack story, right,
were talked about quarterbacks here, Yeah, Aaron Rodgers let go
by the Jets. The Jets announce that they're done with
Aaron Rodgers. Right, they're moving on. They said, good today.
How they release him is going to be a thing,

(17:57):
right do they wait? Does he get a post tune? First?
As nation? Are they gonna break up the the hit
they're gonna have for dead cat money? Like that's something
that's up in the air. But there they're they're moving on.
They wish him well. And already in the last couple
of days, the number of times I have seen experts
and NFL analysts people say, hey, Aaron Rodgers will be

(18:18):
a great fit here with the Steelers and all of this,
and Russell Wilson would be a fit with the Giants
and all this, And I go I say, there is
nothing to tell you that this is the worst offseason
to get a quarterback that I can absolutely remember. By
the way, this is where teams like the Cowboys and
the Cardinals and the Browns we're gonna get you know,

(18:38):
Cam Moore with the number two pick, like they're all going, oh,
finally we get to w because we don't need a quarterback.
If you need a quarterback, you are stuck because these
are two guys that should retire. Russell Wilson has done.
Aaron Rodgers coming off the last year, that's as good
as it's going to get. Right. You want to think, oh,
I can get it back and get it back. No,
when you're at the end, do you only have a

(19:00):
certain number of choices? And how you walk away? When
you walk away as a thing, do you think going
to a new team where the personnel is new and
the system is new, they're not gonna cater to you.
They're not gonna do what the Jets did to you.
You really think that's gonna work out? Aaron Rodgers should retire,
but instead it's hey, here's three or four fits for Rogers.
Here's three or four fits for the for Russell Wilson

(19:20):
when these guys should be nowhere near a starting job.
But because the off season when it comes to free
agency in the draft is so bad, these guys are
out there as options. Sam Darnold's the best guy, and
nobody wants them. Nobody wants nobody. You have Warden Sanders,
who are gonna go in the top five. Are they
top five overall picks? No, But because everybody needs quarterbacks

(19:43):
and they have a much higher grade than the other qbs,
they'll go on the top five. Then it's McCord, and
it's and it's Jackson Dart, and it's mill Row and
it's quinnin Ewers and it's okay, these are guys going
in the second and third round that are developmental that
needs some time. If you need a quarterback this year,
you are screwed, man, you're screwed. Which is at least

(20:04):
a Cowboys fat that we don't need a quarterback. Least
we got that guy. We can't seen anybody else, but
we got a quarterback. All these teams, all the teams,
the Buccaneers are going, oh, we got a great quarterback
in Baker. Maybe through forty touchdowns this year, we feel
great even the Saints are going, hey, we can sell
off Derek Carr because someone's gonna want the guy. We
don't want him anymore. You saw Kellen Moore and not

(20:24):
say anything about him today at his press conference. If
you need a quarterback, they always say. You hear it
all the time. Life in the NFL about a quarterback
is miserable. But what's worse is life without a quarterback
when you also aren't gonna get one. Because none of
these teams, unless the outside of the Giants and the Browns,
are gonna get a quarterback. The Jets aren't getting one,

(20:45):
The Steelers aren't getting one, the Giants, I mean the Giants.
None of these teams are getting quarterbacks. None of them
are because there's nobody out there. And that's worse than
having a year we don't have a quarterback. Oh, we're
also not gonna get one. Boy, that's that sucks. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
We've talked about the stuff that co potential be in motion.
We've talked about Matthew Stafford and went deep on Kelly
Stafford's podcast from last week and her complaints been very loud,
and how much of that is from the mouth of
Matthew Stafford as channeled through his wife. You talk about Rogers,
whatever Kirk Cousins is, Russell Wilson, you got the veterans,

(21:24):
and then you start dipping down whatever Sam Darnold is
in this next iteration from all reports in Minnesota, you know,
and Kevin O'Connell saying all the right things about, yeah,
we'd love to have Sam back. They wanted to be
JJ McCarthy and a cheap veteran there in case McCarthy's
knee isn't right. They don't want to sink forty million
dollars even for a year. Right when you start talking

(21:46):
about the franchise tag and Rogers played well down the stretch.
What that means, I don't know. Is he one of
those hired guns if someone goes down in the off
season or you decide you come to camp, it's like, hey,
let's let's spin it one time as we we've got
a guy that can come in and we're a pretty
good team and he could be our bridge guy. I'd

(22:07):
love to see him go complete it and actually show
up in Minnesota. I think it'd be great to follow
the full ret far next trilogy kind of thing. I mean,
because it's like Star Wars right, same stories, same basic
outlined things. Let's just add some ancillary alien universes.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
And go from there. But for Aaron Rodgers, I wish
the Jets would have just been honest. It's to your sucked.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
A lot of promise, a lot of hype, a lot
of bad headlines and headaches that we had to deal with.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
You know what's done. I want to you want other
guys to come play in New York. You don't want
to say, hey, that a hero's welcome. You sucked and
let the door hit you on the way out. Hey,
come play with New York. It's great. We treat you
awesome here.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
We do.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
But look, we're honest with you.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
We do.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
You're going out the door. We didn't need to blow
smoke on the way out.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
You really need to be told that Aaron blast two years,
that Aaron Rodgers sucked. I don't think if you need
to be told that.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Well, those two years the dear John letter and we're liars.
What a great run it was. I can figure that
his last two years. But boy, I would like to
say thank you to Aaron Rodgers from being part of
our organization in these last two years. Yes, we still
owe him forty nine million dollars. We'll figure that all out.
If you need a quarterback this year, you're screwed. Well,

(23:26):
look at one of the first guys say, but I
can't you mentioned Kyler Murray immediately, and and he's always
the guy that people say, Wow, they shouldn't have paid
that guy.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah. No, Actually they're feeling pretty good about Kyler Murray
right now. My team needs a quarterback. Look, I'm gonna
I don't know who the Jets are. I have no idea.
I mean, is it gonna be really Toron Taylor? I
mean really, is that's what it's gonna be? How great
would that be?

Speaker 5 (23:46):
Man?

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Maybe we'll get Vinnie Testaverdi. I mean he's in his sixties,
but I bet he can still throw that.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
No, he's still signing for trading cards and will throw
that deep ball.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Forget about the Russell Wilson moon ball. Oh, Vinnie Testaverdi
deep ball. Oh yeah, let's say it Russell Wilson moon ball.
Remember how well that worked for about three weeks.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, it was a good three storily didn't but as
a story, it looked better because you had a couple
of highlights and one of those weeks you played the Jets,
so there was that. Well, once they fired the guy
that actually knew how to run a defense, and did.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
He leave us any notes.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Nope, he cleared out every file folder and deleted everything
from the hard drives.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
We get to that big NBA story involving Shaq and
the NBA and TNT coming up in ninety seconds. But first,
someone who's been compared to being the Shaquille O'Neill of
Fox Sports Radio. Very popular, very talented, but once in
a while with curse on the air, it's Monte Bolagno's well.

Speaker 7 (24:42):
Hondo one hondo, aside from just being half his size,
like that's pretty on.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
You know, how tall are you? Exactly five feet and
he's seven to one. Okay, well almost, you're more more
than half.

Speaker 7 (24:56):
Well, yes, coming on with have you seen him Kat
Williams's stand up show where he's talking about standing next
to Shack No, Okay, we'll talk about that off her.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Okay, it's Kat Williams, so it was gonna go sideways.

Speaker 7 (25:10):
Let about it off air in a second.

Speaker 8 (25:12):
Yeah, let's start in the NBA.

Speaker 9 (25:13):
There were five games as we head into NBA All
Star Weekend, which by the way, We're not gonna have
Sabrina Unescu or Steph Curry compete against each other in
that special three point shootout that they did last year.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
The NBA is not doing that.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
They wanted to up their game and they weren't able
to because apparently Caitlin Clark did not want to do
that because she wants her first three point shootout to
be in the WNBA All Star So that's not gonna happen.
But the Warriors did defeat the Rockets today one oh
five to ninety eight, Steph Curry twenty seven points, Jimmy
Butler nineteen points, eight rebounds. Since the Jimmy Butler trade,

(25:48):
Golden State is three to one. The Pelicans topped the
Kings in overtime, one forty to one thirty three. CJ
McCollum forty three points in the win. Tyler hero dropped
forty points, but it wasn't enough because the Mavericks the
shorthand in map still beat the Heat one eighteen to
one thirteen. They're already dealing with injuries and ESPN reported
not long ago that Daniel Gafford is gonna miss at

(26:08):
least six weeks after sustaining a Grade three right mcl
sprain Anthony Davis and Derek Lively are also expected to
miss a lot of time in the second half for
the MAVs. Timberwolves had a one sixteen to one to
one win over the thunder and Nazrid led the way
with twenty seven points and thirteen rebounds, and the Clippers
outscored the Jazz one twenty to one, sixteen in overtime.
Norman Powell forty one points, James Harden double double with

(26:30):
Cheese thirty two points, ten rebounds. Ben Simmons in his
Clippers debut twenty seven minutes off the bench, twelve points,
eight rebounds, six assists and three steals. In men's college
hoops number twenty five, Maryland top Nebraska eighty three seventy five,
Number fourteen, Memphis outscored sel for Florida eighty to sixty five.
And in women's college hoops number six, USC handed number

(26:50):
one Ucla their first loss of the season with a
seventy one to sixty win. Juji Watkins did it all
thirty eight points, eleven rebounds, five.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Assists, and eight blocks. In hockey, so it is eight blocks,
it is eight blocks. Wow. That's even better than the
five blocks. It was that last hour, Yeah, it was it.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Did I say five earlier?

Speaker 5 (27:07):
No?

Speaker 1 (27:08):
No, No, it was on the air. I said, look,
depending on where you were looking, Depending on where you
were looking, people reporting was either five or eight blocks.
So another hour she could be up to fifty points,
twenty rebounds. I like that. Fifteen assists and twelve blocks. Yes,
and she's holding up a sign like she's will chambers,
she's will chamberline.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
Well, the one I checks at eight blocks, so I
think it is eight blocks.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Good for her.

Speaker 8 (27:28):
In hockey at the Fourtation, she met the over stop
at don't remind me of my barlay the four Nation's
face off, you say, crushed Finland six to one, and
Bubba Wallace was victorious and dual one at Daytona, earning
a third place starting position for Sundays Daytona five hundred.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
Back to you guys, Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Jason Smith Mike Carmon live from the tirec dot Com studios. Okay,
so you've seen the bit on the NBA on TNT
where sometimes they jokingly race each other around the set, right.
They've been doing this for a little bit Marshawn Lynch
was on the set earlier tonight, and then at halftime
look the final game before the break this year, Shaq

(28:10):
and Charles kind of playfully raised each other around the
set again. So just to give you a backdrop on this,
because then TNT was throwing to a commercial break and
Shaquille O'Neil decided to get a little bit extemporaneous with
his language talking to the guys on the set, and
the words of us Marshall Lynch, I'm tired of americawhere.

(28:37):
So Shack drops an S bomb and an F bomb
on TNT. Good for him. In the words of Marshawn Lynz,
I'm tired as blank America. We getting fired anyway, as
Ernie Blanket talking to Ernie Johnson. This obviously reference to
the fact that the NBA on TNT is going to
be moving. His turner's not going to carry the games
after this year, and the league's going to go to ESPN,

(28:59):
ABC in prime video. So Shack decided, damn, I'm gonna
curse on the air, and what are they gonna do
to me? We're all getting fired anyway. I gotta say this,
I'm a little tired with the whole. Hey, I'm a
little tired with the whole. Hey, look what's happening to
us as well.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Charles saved the world, he told you multiple times and
anybody who would listen.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
I'm a little tired with this all. Hey, you know,
you all could have gone, could have figured out a
way to go there, whatever you want to do. Yes,
it sucks, it sucks that this happened. But you guys
have been on the air Free, You've had a twenty
some odd year run. It's been amazing. And yeah, your
your parent company doesn't have it anymore. You could figure
something out together. You guys could all stay together, you
could all do a podcast together. You could all figure

(29:41):
stuff out. Okay, it's been a year now, a little
bit less than a year of Look what's happened. I'm like, okay,
I get it, But this is kind of how the
world goes. You gotta pick yourself up and move forward.
Do you really do you want to be on the air?
You want to keep talking about this? What do you
want to do? Like, I'm a little bit of okay,
I've had it, a little bit of I get a
little bit the being upset. I understand it's it's it's

(30:02):
a knee jerk reaction, something that's near and dear to
everybody for a long time. But now, okay, it's a
year later and people who are there, they're all lining
up other jobs and doing other things and moving on
and trying to figure things out. So okay, okay, I
mean it's really I mean, is this going the way
it's gonna go for the rest of the year, all
the way to the end? Yeah? I mean, how much
of this was you know, hot mic? Right? One of

(30:22):
the things that we learned in our training, right, remember
the microphone? Pretty sure, pretty sure, Shaq knew the mic.
It was still that it was still light, was still
red there. He's broadcasted for a couple of days now,
I think he knows what the mic.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Just every once in a while, you know, you're you're
laughing with friends, and he realized, oh okay, kind of
like some of those hot mic moments we've had with
friends of the show. That's one of the things I
love is that we get deep into conversations and sometimes
they forget, oh yeah, I'm actually still on air with you,
as opposed to us having a phone conversation. But for

(30:56):
Shack and Company. Yeah, no, I fully agree, Like I've
joked about it for as long as they've been doing it.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Right.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Charles did the initial conversation with Dan Patrick for the
network here Fox Sports.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Radio the iHeart media, iHeart.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Sports and talked about you know, the history and all
the families and all of that stuff. And it's great
the first time, and then it becomes the well, look
how great I am, and look and look at what
I've been able to do, And then it became look
what we've done. I mean, he didn't solve any world
problems here, but you're entertainers, and you're great entertainers, and

(31:32):
it's a great show. Take nothing from it, but in
the end, shows move on, right. It's when when the
NFL on Fox did that tribute to Jimmy Johnson, how
many people paused thinking, wow, is he announcing his retirement?
And a lot like that was the first thing I thought,
Like they were halfway through and he's done a voiceover,
It's like, wow, is this is a surprise and.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Announcement on Super Bowl? I really thought that's what I
thought was gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Instead, it was a you know, hey, I love you guys,
and just kind of the history of what we've watched transpire.
But Terry Bradshaw had comments doing interviews during the week,
like everything comes to an end, right, all the partnerships,
all of this, and in this case, other entities offered
a bootload of money and they decided not to match it.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
So what happens after that?

Speaker 2 (32:19):
People move on, people get different jobs, and you could
have gone to like friends, all right, what's our number?
We stay together at this number or it doesn't work right?

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Well that you didn't. Someone decided the baby and that's
going to be too baby. Sorry spoiler alert, but.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Right, Jason Alexander talked about it with Seinfeld, all right,
here was our number, and he talks about it being
the ruination of episodic television thereafter. But the idea of this,
this is what we thought we were. We asked for it.
They had a meeting, they said, okay, okay, cool, that's
that's what Shack and Ernie and Kenny and Charles and

(33:03):
everybody that's in those meetings, their producers, whatever their numbers are,
they could have done that. And if they didn't, well,
then the chips fall where they.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
May exit out about a Fresco exit swelling down The
Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon live from the tirect
dot Com studios coming up next. Without a doubt, the
performance of the night might be the performance of the
season in basketball. Plus one team that might be better
off without the guy they traded the NBA trade deadline.
Wait what that's next? Fox. Be sure to catch live

(33:33):
editions of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays
at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio,
The Jason Smith Show with My bes friend Mike Harmon,
Shark or something live from the Tirack dot Com studios,
and uh, the performance of the night in basketball might

(33:57):
be the performance of the year in basketball. We watched tonight,
you and I watched Juju Watkins of usc beat the
number one ranked team in the country, the previously unbeaten
UCLA Bruins, maybe the two best teams in college basketball
right here in LA was number one versus number six,
and Juju Watkins goes for thirty eight points, eleven rebounds,

(34:22):
eight blocks, and five assists. Like that's a effort. That's
one of the best stat lines you'll see in college basketball. Ever,
it compares with the best of Caitlin Clark's games from
the past few years now, she had tons of forty
point games, of forty nine point game against Michigan, like
she had huge games like this, But if you were
looking for who was next, who was going to take

(34:42):
that mantle, because that's just how it goes in sports. Hey,
you lose one big superstar, that opens the door for
the next one. Yeah, Paige Beckers is fantastic. Not had
a game like this, sixty nine point dominant Juju Watkins.
What I mean watching her tonight was just this and
this is the number one team in the country and
it looked like they were playing some also ran team

(35:04):
from a lower conference.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
But it was interesting, like watching when UCLA would try
to dump the ball down low, slow moving the backside
help whether it was Watkins obviously with the eight blocks
and but the other guards collapsing and making life hard
for Bets and the front line, and then getting out
on the break and the court vision and ability to

(35:27):
explode to the rim like she was amazing and we
saw glimpses of it, and expectations were obviously great coming
into the year, but to see her and the other
stars and this is where it gets fun right talking
about you know, Becker's talking about Hidalgo with Notre Dame
and some of the other stars, the aforementioned bets for UCLA.

(35:51):
The health of the sport is just amazing right now.
And Juju Watkins with this stat line, you talk about
highlight reels for.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Day coming out of this one, because she did everything
exit out about a Fresca exit, swalling Dome, the Jason
Smith Er with Mike Carmon live from the tyrec dot
Com Studios. I mean, it was absolutely insane watching her tonight. Yeah,
I see your page Beckers, and I raise you ju
Ju Watsons.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Well, especially what Gino had to say about Paige Beckers
last week.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Oh, sure, wants the ball all the time when two
people are on her, doesn't want the ball anymore.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
As soon as the double comes, she she's done. But
the the other thing was with Juju Watkins was the
way they closed this game out right, because it's a
one point game with about four minutes.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Left, they just took over. Yeah, you thought, this is
where you know, USC as great as they are with
the one start, this is where UCLA is under. This
was the exact opposite that we saw.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yeah, they get out to the run, some fast break opportunities,
more block shots and collapsing down low. Uh and when
U c LA did have a couple of chances with
wide open jump shots right the kick back out, some
missus and fast break coming back the other way, long, long, rebad.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
Now from this game tonight to another one tonight. That
gives us a nice, great, big hot take. We all
end tech with a big hot take. Oh good, good,
what do you got?

Speaker 6 (37:09):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (37:10):
The last four games they have beaten the Celtics, the
Rockets lost to the Kings by one in overtime, beat
the Warriors, and tonight they beat the Miami Heat. Mike Harmon,
who is it Cleveland? No, wow, Ty Shirt was not
paying attention to.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
I would have said bulls, but I know, I mean,
we talked a lot about them sucking against the Pistons,
and you did not mention.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
The The Dallas Mavericks not only win tonight second night
of back to back's Kyrie had forty two last night.
You know, didn't play tonight and they still won. Still
no a d Let me just throw this out there.
Maybe the Mavericks better off without Luca. Doesn't mean Luca's

(37:57):
not a great player. But Luca in Dallas had reached
the end. Like we said, with Trevor Lawrence, this is
out and that last hour. Hey, doesn't mean Trevor Lawrence
can't go somewhere and be a great quarterback, which, hey,
you should call him and the Jaguars should trade him.
But it's just not working in Jacksonville. It's just not
because we've seen him for four years. Now here's a
third head coach coming in to unlock Trevor Lawrence. He's

(38:18):
kind of a jag in more wayson one. But now
you have the Mavericks who Luca wasn't working for whatever reason,
and the Mavericks traded him for a really good reason.
They didn't wake up one day and decide, you know
what to do today, I'm gonna trade Luca. Wait, Nico
what yeah? Yeah, yeah, close the door, locked the door
to my office. I'm gonna trade I'm gonna trade Luca. No,
there's a reason why they traded him, and you're seeing boy,

(38:40):
the out of shape thing was a big deal because
he seems out of shape with the Lakers. We talked
to Rick Bugert tonight and he said, ehy, I can't
believe Luca said last night. I'm looking forward to the break.
You played in two games since December. Right, you see
that he is out of shape, and there's the the
Mavericks had a reason for trading him, and look at
what happened when he's gone. He's not with the team.
Look how they're ascending, and again they.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
Still don't have a d.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
This is all all these games without Anthony Davis, and
tonight was without Kyrie Irving and they're still winning these games.
This is still a roster that got to the NBA
Finals last year. Maybe they're better off and they're okay
without Luca. I know it comes crazy, but we talked
about it when the trade happened. They traded Luca for
a reason.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Yeah, they had their history and looking at a three
hundred and fifty million dollars price tag for the next round,
they decided not to anty up. They folded their cards
and waited for the next hand to be dealt. No, Lively, right,
second year player, he's been out. Gafferd's gonna miss another
couple of weeks now, I think for Bowl now they're

(39:43):
saying six weeks former Bowl now good but part of
that frontline. Yeah, all the podcasts when we talk about
the the Trevor Lawrence and everything Ian Ty shirt. Thank
you Fellas Monsei for her work tonight. A lot of
fun podcasts will go up when we're done. But all
of that to say, yeah, you've got a squad and
Kyrie Irving becoming that guy again. My team, my team right,

(40:07):
doing the postgame interviews, wearing the point guard sure yesterday,
signing all the autographs. Like Anthony Davis said in his
introductory hey, we need to win people over.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
We need to do our thing. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Well, he certainly bawled out as we get to the break,
telling me, man, the Mavericks without Luca four out of
five against good teams, Like what they get adept Like
watch out man, Yeah they get healthy size matters.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Exit out about a Fresca exit, swollen dome. The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon coming up
next to my buddy Ben Maller. You are listening to
Fox Sports Radio. Farewell Aaron Rodgers. He had to go too.
