He is the way tire buying should be well. Coming
(00:55):
up in fifteen minutes, we had a great story surrounding
the NFL Draft about someone who's walking in the draft
with a chip on their shoulder. But I'm not quite
sure why you always have to have a chip on
your shoulder. It gives you that egge always though, you
gotta have an edge. Yeah, I think sometimes people are
self motivated and sometimes you have to have a chip
on your shoulder, so okay, a dairy to knock to
(01:17):
come on, you gotta explain the millennials. Whatever ready battery.
I don't thinven think they make ever ready batteries anymore.
I think if you look hard enough, you'll find I
think you get Doro cell Costco and you're going to
Kirkland and Energizer. Yeah, you get Kirkland, all right, you
get Kirkland, you get Energizer, and you get Dasol. I
think that's it. I don't think they do ever ready
(01:38):
batteries anymore. You know, I have to look this up now.
That was like, that was one of my favorite commercials
when I was a kid, when they showed the starting
the car in the big winter snowstorm. They show you
the temperature was like minus fifty degrees below zero, and
it was still like the battery would turn the car
would turn on, like in the depths and the dearth
of cold. Like that had to be one of the
most impactful ads ever because I know, if I had
(02:00):
a car like that's a battery, I want I live
where it's you know, zero degrees and you know, in
the winter all the time. Want to make sure my
car starts on my car to not turn over in
the morning. Yeah, okay, give me that battery. Well. I
also found an ever Ready First Date eye dressing packet
that you can buy two comes in a packet. Tame,
I don't is it Russian dressing packet? Like what what
do you mean? No? No, no, no, no, like like my
(02:22):
dressing like you would. Oh I think you meant like Ranch.
I'm like dressing like ever Ready Ranch dressing. This dressing
is already great. No, I can have a salad story
coming up. We do. There is a salad story on
the way there is. There is a salad stand. And
I can still get ever Ready batteries. But I get
I bet they're really cheap. They are two forty nine.
What's the tariff though? For how many? No, they're made here.
(02:44):
Ever Ready is made here. No, no tariff. No we're good.
No tech four pack four batteries for two fifty Oh yeah,
I bet you they really power your stuff up. Yeah.
I would put the I would put the batteries into
into my into something and just watch the power baro
from one hundred percent going down to zyrup. Here's a
(03:05):
twenty four pack of Wow, some heavy duty these are
you can barter that for a cardon and eggs twenty
three bucks. I bought it, Like I told you, I
bought eggs for five bucks. You could chase, you could
trace those four batteries for one egg. Yeah, two fifty
because an egg is like a new exchange rate. I mean,
we got we're going back to a barter because talking
(03:25):
to barter. I'm just waiting to go to a store
now and see people trading individual cigarettes for eggs. That's
what that's what I really want to see. I got this, Lucy,
it's a cigarette egg train. You're you're you're selling loose cigarettes. Nah,
single eggs. Minute. I got eggs. I got cigarettes, all right,
and I got this plastic protection. I got it graded
it's a ten. It's the guy looking for the perfect
(03:47):
egg from clerks. What do you What do you got?
I got three red pack Marlboro cigarettes? What do you got?
I got three eggs, not a hide, four eggs, four eggs,
three cigarettes. Done, here you go, let's go. Hey, one
of them's a brown egg eggs. Uh, that's okay. I mean,
you know, I don't get why people have the brown
(04:07):
eggs tastes fine brown eggs my whole life. They taste great.
I don't same when you scramble them saying they put
cheese in them. Everything, that doesn't matter. That's what it is.
The brown eggs, brown egg brown eggs are really good.
Whole life. My wife's been I've been having broks since
I've been with Pam, we've been having brown eggs. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know why. I don't know
the difference. That's okay. Yeah, I've never really done the
(04:29):
new diligence to figure it out. I just know that
one's cheaper than the other one. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know why. You have to have a palette
to know the difference. When you scramble them up, they're fine.
They they taste, they taste the same. There's no difference,
trust me. About the menu at McDonald there's not.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Well, there's a difference in McDonald you're well, you're talking
about completely. There's the there's the Big Mac. It's not
and then there's a big Man Big I don't know.
I didn't go to Burger King. So this is why
Rob Manford sucks the one. Which reason are you picking
up at the list The Dodgers version. Rob Manford sucks
(05:06):
Dodgers version, one of the big stories going to spring training.
Now everybody's here. Now, everybody's in spring training, getting ready
to go already getting big stories. Gencarlo Stanton says, my
elbows are broken. The Red Socks have a guy that
wants to play third base, and they have two third basemen.
It's a big thing. But one of the biggest questions
is now coming off this Dodgers spending spree the last
couple of years, they have twenty three of their of
(05:29):
their players on the active roster are all making thirty
million dollars a year or more. How are they fitting
this in? Many teams are upset because there's a disparity
between what the Dodgers can spend and what they can spend. Now,
the two teams spending the most this year are the
Dodgers and the Mets. Now the Metro spending the most
because they've just gave one Soto seven hundred and sixty
million dollars, But the Dodgers has a lot of people upset.
(05:50):
A lot of teams upset because hey, we can't compete
with that. When they have guys coming in that they
can give less money to him, and players like Shoeyo
Tana say, I'm gonna defer my money so I can
so like we can get it, build a big team
in here to win World Series. Yeah, I can see
why teams are upset and Rob Manford addressed that tonight,
which and and again proving that he sucks. He was
(06:12):
asked about the disparity, how do you really feel, because
he does, man he does. First of all, the guy
hates baseball, So I don't know what else to say.
The guy hates he hates the players, right, Why know
why is a commissioner of baseball? Maybe because we're gonna
payment today like you did that. You did did the
whole shaking the paper like you were gonna do weekend
(06:33):
update or something. He said, he talked tonight, and well,
this is why he sucks. So this is why he sucks. Uh. So,
he's asked about the disparity of the Dodgers what he
can do about the situation, and here's his quote, disparity
should be It certainly is at the top of my
list of concerns about what's occurring in the sport. Okay,
so far, so good. No, that's good, Jim, I can't
(06:55):
be critical of the Dodgers. They're doing what the system allows. Mark.
If I'm going to be critical of somebody, it's not
going to be the Dodgers. It's going to be the system.
First thing, you're the commissioner. You're in charge of the system.
What if this is you? This is not anything that
predates you. This is not Hey, I showed up and
(07:15):
there's a new system. You're not a system commissioner. Okay,
I'm coming on a system commissioner. Okay. So right away
he's pulling me. What can I do. I'm just the
commissioner of baseball. What if he had called himself the system.
I'm the system, commit I am the system. Okay, I
am sending the system. I'm gonna see if I can
get him to sign it with within the inscription of
(07:37):
I am the system. Homes the system. Quarterback, I am
the system. Suddenly, now, oh, it's the system. I'm not
going to be critical of the Dodgers. I'm not going
And he said it again, I'm not gonna be critical
of the Dodgers. Mordest thing you ever said, dude, Like
I get that. Look, there's nothing you do because the
Dodgers are doing what's allowed here. But this is where
as commissioner, you would say something like, hey, yeah, this
(07:58):
is a big deal the Dodger do this. We have
to look into this because yes, I see there's an
advantage here. But instead it's, oh, hey, I'm not going
to be mad at the Dodgers. And this is why
Rob Banford sucks because he's completely played favorites since he
became commissioner, loving the owners over the players, loving some
owners and some teams over other teams. Right, well, I
mean because you should own the love the owners over
(08:20):
the players. Do the work for them. Yeah, but but
not overly so to say I want to give this
hunk of metal to a to a deserving owner, No no, no,
you stills the players. Yeah, you still have to show
some love and some for the sanctity of the game.
But this is where I say he sucks like own
owners over other owners because hey, oh I can't do anything.
The Dodgers are doing something that is completely unprecedented with
(08:41):
all these players that bring keep giving contracts to, and
he says, can't be critical of them. Meanwhile, Steve Cohen
buys the Mets a few years ago and after his
first year when he ratches up the payroll up to
two hundred and forty five million. What happens, They institute
of Steve Cohen tax. If you go over two hundred
million dollars, here's a tax you got to pay. Over
two hundred and forty million dollars, you pay this packs
(09:02):
this tax. Over two hundred and ninety five million dollars,
you pay this tax. Even call it the Coen tax.
So after a year of Steve Cohen owning the team
where he said I'm going to spend as much as
I want to on players, all of a sudden, Baseball
he comes in with, oh, we have the Coen tax
going on here. Oh, because the Mets were not seen
as worthy enough of being a team that can outspend everybody.
Steve Cohen's not coming into this game and just showing
(09:24):
everybody that he spends all money. It's the Mets to
the number two team in the in the in the city.
But the Dodgers when they're doing Hey, that's okay, the
Dodgers doing it. I'm not going to criticize them. But
he comes up with a bleeping rule for the Mets.
A year after Cohen comes in doing something that's just Hey,
the payroll was a two hundred and fifty million. Think
about that. Now, two fifty that's like, you know what
the pirates are at. So I was like, oh, two
hundred fifty million, okay, sorry, that's what the I can't
(09:47):
say the Phillies are over three hundred million. But that's
completely unfair, and it's him showing that I'm playing favorites
where the Dodgers are doing this, and I'm not even
going to say that it's something that's that I'm I'm
gonna be critical of or say that we have to
stop the He's even asked about, are you put some
kind of cap in, some kind of salary thing controls? Hey,
I'm not. The next negotiations are a year away. I'm
(10:07):
not gonna get into anything else. He's basically saying, I'm
not doing anything about that. I'm staying away from the Dodgers.
I'm staying away from the criticism of this team. But
oh boy, Steve Cohen comes in and says, I have
a lot of money. I can spend it. I'm sorry
your other owners are as rich as Steve Cohen. I'm
sorry that certain owners aren't as rich as other owners.
Don't own a baseball team. Then, but if he can
come in and say, I'm okay with spending this money,
(10:28):
Oh no, no, Now we're gonna put a tax in
just because we don't want him to do it, because
we don't feel the Mets are worthy If the Dot,
if the Dodgers did that three years ago, or the
Yankees did that three years ago, or the Red Sox
did that three years ago, he would say, yeah, what
he's saying now, I'm not gonna get mad at them.
It's the system. It's the system. Oh no, no, But
the Mets did it because they're not worthy of Oh,
we can't have the Mets come in Johnny cub Lately,
(10:51):
he's not showing up and telling us how to do things.
Oh no, no, no, We're gonna make sure that we
hamstring the Mets for doing this. Right, We're gonna put
a speed limit on them. But now the Dodger doing it,
and it's what can I do? Right? It's it's a system.
I don't know what to say. I'm only the commissioner
of baseball. I don't know what you want me to do.
I just sit here. I served the pleasure of the owners.
You have a lot of owners are man. Yeah, but
you know the Dodgers are big owners, so I don't
(11:12):
know what you want me to do. Like that's why
he sucks. Well, they're still adhering to the Coen Tax,
which is not an official name, just just some folks
are aware. Like that's what it became. Notice after he
committed and he spent, we're calling it the Coen tax
(11:32):
is not well, Hamilton, and we're arguing with each other
and giving things names to Hamilton wrote the other fifty
five John Jay got sick after writing four. But to
that before we're doing it, he comes in and says,
I'm gonna do it. No, no, Now we have a tax.
So to stop Steve Cohen, because we knew all the
other owners, We're gonna at least say hey, we're gonna
(11:53):
pretend to not spend a certain amount of money. We're
gonna collude a seeps co and say, no, I want
my team to win. I'm not gonna sit here and
and play an unfair game. I have money to spend.
I don't care. I just made ten million dollars in
the last eight seconds. I have money to spend. So yeah,
oh no, but we don't want him doing it and
that's really unfair. Well, and you adopted the rules and
(12:14):
everybody's got to play by him, and the Dodgers will
pay the requisite taxes. But then they found the loopholes
to the system, right when we talk about it, like
the substance, they found the loopholes to it all, and
the deferred money, which is not entirely new. I mean,
guys have been doing this, just not to this level.
(12:35):
And the fact that the Dodgers have had superstar after
superstar who are willing to just come on board and say,
all right, I know I'm gonna get mine. It's baseball,
it's guaranteed money. Just a matter of when I think
I can live on the fifteen million they're gonna give
me this year. I think I'll be okay, and eventually
I'll get the rest, oh down the line, and it's
(12:55):
all good by then we're also negotiating a new deal
and everything else. But to the point for Major League
Baseball as a whole, the issue is that those top
teams and I get your vexation and frustration with the
Coen tax, because it's being done to me. That's why no,
it's been go cry in the corner it's been done
to you. You just wait till we buy Vlad Guerrero
(13:17):
Junior next year. You just wait till you don't have
to go to a winning team. Did you not hear him?
He did say that, and we win, We were in
the won. But it's a question that last year and
that's not winning. How big a winner does he want?
He said, championships. It's not the nuts. Yeah, no, that's fine,
that's us. Your eyes got really wide as he said, no,
that's us. Now you can't spend because you said mets
and championships just yet ships He started thinking of that
(13:41):
alternate earth. But all of that to say that, you
just get to the point of the ten to fifteen
teams who spent a little or spent nothing this offseason.
You've got to bring the floor up.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
We can fight all we want about the teams at
the top and how we adjudicate uh they're spending limits,
and how deferred money, how much you can have on
the books for ten years hence, so whatever. We can
talk about all that, but you got all these other
teams that aren't doing a damn thing yet, Well, they
get to siphon off one hundred and fifty dollars. But
(14:13):
too many of the national revenue run their team too
much like a business. Obviously, I'm not saying it's it's
a business. Obviously, there's too many teams that run it
too much like a business, and not enough of it's
a business that we're trying to succeed at. Where you
know teams like the Brewers or the Pirates or the Raiser. Hey,
we're gonna not spend this money. We're gonna see if
(14:35):
we catch lightning in a bottle and get a little
bit of excitement over the course of a season. Okay,
you're running it like a business where I'm sorry if
you don't have enough money. We see if you know,
there's only reason why there's only thirty of these teams
out there. If you have a lot of money, this
is when you buy a team. Because Steve Coles it,
I don't care if I lose money. Again, the guy
makes in the hundreds of millions of dollars every two weeks.
(14:56):
That's what the guy. I'm proud of him. He's doing
a great job. If you I had more teams that
with owners that wanted to win as much as they
want to run a successful business. Look what you have, man,
look at you to have. But if you've set up
a system whereby you're gonna give me one hundred and
fifty million dollars for showing up, which is the national revenue.
That's before I do anything locally. That's before I sell
(15:18):
one chicken nugget, one coke, one bucket of popcorn, or
I put a car in a parking spot chicken nuggets.
Think about that. Good. Jason Smithson with Mike Carbon live
from the tirerac dot com studios coming up next. Yeah,
we get to that NFL story. Plus, the best thing
the Lakers are doing is they get set to kick
(15:39):
off the second half of the NBA season tomorrow. Hey,

Hey guys, you think Mick Cronan's dancing to this right now. No,
Mick Cronan not happy. No, this will be salty McK cronan. Oh,
it's gonna be some great posts. So just a Tuesday. Yeah,
Ucla lost in Minnesota at Pauli and a half point favorites.
(17:17):
They were and Mick Cronan looking resplendent in a uh
Wooden suit coat jacket that I think he probably took
from the John Wooden mannequin uh in West where you
broke it with a broke the window with a with
an elbow, put the jacket. So we came in with
a little laser thing like the Fox. Yeah yeah yeah. Ocean, well,
the bad oceans, the bad oceans. Well you know it,
(17:39):
it got better. It's like the h It's like the
Phantom Menace and stuff. Okay, it's aged better than it. No,
it hasn't, because I'll tell you why too. Things twelve
number one. Oh, you have to get past this and
there's no pattern. How do you get past something with
no pattern? How do you make the anticipatory moves when
something doesn't have a pay You're a wizard. No, you
can't do it. It's gotta be a really complicated pattern
(18:01):
that youre fair. Oh, if there's no pattern, you're gonna
get caught. How can you go? How can Vincent Castle
go through this whole thing where I'm jumping up and
over the lasers but there's no pattern. No, no pattern
means it's gonna get you. So that was stupid. And
then all they go through the whole thing and they
have the briefcat it's on it's on the train with them,
and they get distracted because a dude and a Yankee
(18:21):
hat and the Red Sox they had get in a fight.
Oh that's what it is. Really, they're the reason.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
They know.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Okay, we get all look at this, something happened. Yeah,
they're all common, they're all thieves. They all know something's
gonna happen to cause a distraction. All here's a guy
with the Yankee had and the Red Sox had. Oh,
by the way, not even in the United States, and
they're gonna fight and they're gonna take that was stupid.
Cloney was right when he said we got to do
another one. Can't go out that way. Good glad they
did thirteen. They're coming back for fourteen. So there, of
(18:48):
course they have to win. I deal with I mean,
unfortunately we're missing a couple of guys. Yeah, well you
come back well with a Dodger on Rob Manfred will be.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
There.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
There's a guy with an astro's hat. They's trying to
trying to steal the the MLB World Series, Trump and
the hunk of metal. Here you go take it, and
he gets distracted. Someone hits a trash can. He turns
one way. They grabbed the World Series and run away
with it. What am I gonna do? They fooled me? Well, uh,
(19:21):
so this is my favorite NFL story of the day.
So cam Ward of the Miami Hurricanes, who is set
to go somewhere in the top three of the NFL draft,
maybe number one, maybe two, maybe three, uh, had a
message for any team that is going to pass on
him in the draft. Now. He won the Davy O'Brien
(19:42):
Award as a top quarterback in the country last night.
It should have been calm accord. Uh but uh. He
gave this speech when he was asked about, Hey, the
draft is coming up. What do you think Titans pick
number one, Brown's pick number two, Giants pick number three.
They all need quarterbacks, he said, quote, you're either gonna
draft me or you're not. If you don't draft me,
(20:04):
that's your fault. You gotta remember you're the same team
that's gotta play me for the rest of my career,
and I'll remember that. So two teams, one team. I'm
gonna hold it against the one team that passes by.
I'm not slipping all the way down to pick twenty five.
I'm gonna hold it against the one team that doesn't
(20:25):
take me. When I play the Titans every two and
a half years, you wait, or if the Browns take me,
and I bet wait till I play off, the Giants
take me, and I gotta play the AFC every four
years when we play the Browns to the Titans, I'm
really gonna come up with a big game there, dude.
Come on, man, what the hell? What do you mean?
You add up the teams that passed me. You may
go number one overall and in that case, nobody's gonna
(20:46):
pass on you, and maybe then you're not even motivated
to play. Oh, nobody passed on me. I kind of
peaked here at twenty three years old. Like this is
if you were if you were falling through the first round,
or you were projected to be a pick that maybe
went somewhere in the teams or in the late first round,
and you wanted to say you pass on me, I'm
gonna find Okay, I get it, because I get the
players use that as motivation, But dude, one team is
(21:08):
gonna wind up passing on you. At most, You're gonna
most likely go to the Browns because it seems like
the decks are cleared for Schador standers to go to
the Giants at number three, right, that's his preferred destination.
That's where Shador wants to be. That's where Dion wants
to be. Okay, Ward is gonna be the first quarterback
off the mord, so that means he goes first or second.
So really, if you pass on me, I'm it. Hold
it a got you did one team, one team you're
(21:30):
gonna play every three year? What the hell are you
talking about? Yeah, I mean, Chadora is the furthest He's
falling as he goes and hangs out with Brady and
his buddy Mark Davis there in Las Vegas. He's he's
going to the He talked about that. I'll be I'll
be here. I'll be playing in this stadium in Dallas, down.
I'll be playing here in a couple of years. That's
his boot. When this guy's talking like he's dropping out
(21:50):
of the first round, but he's a top three pick,
I'm gonna use this his motivation. Dude, you're going I
like that. I mean, you gotta find something that laterels you.
You're going second right, You look in the mirror, Hey,
you know what, I gotta get back to the gym.
You know the chin or or maybe you're looking like
you need to go pump up the biceps or whatever.
You know, whatever your motivation is, you gotta do it.
(22:11):
And in his case, he's creating imaginary teams that I kid.
I could see him going at number one and saying
all you teams are could have traded up for me
and didn't. But that's it. You're gonna hold it again.
You all chose not to come get me.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
What do you take?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
All of you? All of you failed, doesn't you. You
took Abduel Carter, you took chanor Sanders, you took Travis Hunter.
You could have traded up to get me hair at
number one, and you didn't. Hey, Titans, you took Travis
Hunter and then I went and you wait and see
(22:48):
what happens. Yeah, Tennessee, I really wanted Nashville instead I
got Cleveland. What are you doing? What do you do?
You think he lives in a van down by the river.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
You could.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I don't know what that's all about, because I get
I get the using the your draft position is motivation, right,
I understand that. Right. You talk on running all the
teams that passed on him, right, I get that, and
it works right, and it works for some people I get.
I am a motivational speaker. Okay, I'm gonna sit here
(23:18):
and go through the teams that passed on me in
the draft. Titans. Okay, let's go play. All done, All done?
My my pregame stuff is already. I'm done. I'm done.
Remember the Titans right here?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Come on?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Nothing else? I mean, really, he's gonna he's gonna have
less teams passing. And then the Titans had plays? How many? What? What? What?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
What?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
What? Denzil watches that have five plays? How do not
stop a team with five offensive plays? You practice against
the five plays? You know what they are? Honest? Come on, obviously,
it's the end of grade school before things get too complicated.
And every once in a while we had a wrinkle,
we ran eight of the time, we ran three, running
the same three running plays. When he says I only
(23:58):
have these plays, I only have We all only run
five plays? Really, why do you need to practice? Then?
Once we get the five plays down, I think we're
pretty good the excellence. We're good of execution. We're good
where I gotta keep your cardio up. Come on, remember Luca,
all right, would you forget that story we did? You
gotta keep your cardio up. Man ran those five plays
pretty good. You guys all take laps. Now, let's do
(24:18):
defense because I know Goslin you've got trouble covering people. Right,
You're gonna have to come out of a dance really well,
I couldn't sing. We saw that he lived in a
van down by the river. Good, good luck with it.
I mean, cam Moore, come on, like he's inventing. I'm
inventing this chip that I'm gonna put on. I actually
think he just wanted he doesn't have a chip on
his show. There's no chip there yet because he could
go number one. He could, but somebody disrespected him. In
(24:42):
his opinion, we haven't had the draft yet. Who has
we haven't even had the combine yet who is disrespect well?
But people are maybe in their mock drafts they've got
him going a bit later. I'm gonna get you mel
Kiper and I'll get you Todd McShay. When I go
out there, I'm gonna make sure I'm thinking about you
not having me. Come mean, the guy did play at
(25:03):
three different colleges. At some point he heard something in
the in the rooms where they he wasn't loved what
the same way he needed to be. He won the
Davey O'Brien doesn't matter. I mean, why don't know what
you're talking He won in the it's about the four
years before that. It's about the long hard road before that.
The court should have won. But still he did it.
And and cam Wore's a terrific talent, right, this guy,
(25:24):
he's one. He's like a he's like a better Anthony
Richardson who can put points on the board in a hurry. Right, Like,
here's a big difference. This guy's played a lot. He's
actually on the no, he's on the field. It doesn't
throw as many interceptions, but he I mean, he's instant offense.
He'll fit with any system. He's terrific player. It's like,
I mean, like when you have to invent an imaginary
(25:47):
opponent when you're twenty three years old, twenty two years old. Dude,
Come on, man, you got to be motivated for something
else before you say, hey, I gotta find a way
to stand about. How many people have you known in
your life? Hey, you got it. You got a steady job.
Maybe maybe you've got a man or a woman at
your side. It seems okay from the outside, a couple
of kids, they're not juvenile delinquents. You got a dog
(26:08):
that hasn't been attacking anybody on the walks, got a
nice car that hasn't broken down. You don't live in
a you know, a rambu, you know, in a van
down by the river, in a van or a shack
like all of that. But you don't know what's going
on between the years. You don't know. I mean every day.
That guy may still feel like compared to siblings, compared
to you know, friends, might feel like he needs some
(26:33):
extra motivation. For cam Warton, he may be looking around shootors,
getting a lot of headlines, getting a lot of love.
Maybe this was his way of saying what about me? No,
it isn't fair. I've had enough. I want my share.
I've had enough. I've had enough of winning the award
for Best Quarterback. I've had enough of all the nil
money I got to come to Miami. I've had enough.
It wasn't enough. Maybe there was a sponsor, they had
talks with it. It broke down because they've fought over
(26:55):
money and they've had enough. Who wronged you? Nobody, but
they might, so I'm getting ahead of it. This is
the equivalent of somebody getting mad at you because they
had a dream and in their dream you did something wrong.
So they're mad at you when they wake up. But
just because your paranoid doesn't mean that they're not after
you. You did it my dream. You did it, but I
would never do that real But you did it my dream.
(27:16):
I'm mad at you. Okay that maybe they're thinking it's
a moment of foreshadowing. Right, you're having your h what
was that Stephen King thing? What was the plenty of
movies that kind of went to shiny No, no, no,
the one with Christopher Walking oh oh oh and Martin
Sheen right, yeah, where you're seeing Martin was a president. Sorry,
(27:40):
before he was a president, he was the president a lot. Yeah, Tilson,
Oh yeah, he could tell the futures. Is that the
dead zone? Dead zone? Dead zone? Yeah, so you see
the future. So I see you're going to wrong me.
I don't know when, but now as I go in
my conscious day the next day, I'm waiting for you
to turn on me, like you're gonna make a heel
turn like it's w w E about me. That's where
(28:00):
cam Ward is. He's waiting for the other shoe to
drop it for you, you, Lieutenant Weinberg. I'm pretty your Yes, yeah,
I could, you know. And I always tell certain days,
like when I wake up, I know that, okay, whatever
today is like like something's happened in the morning, like
Pam's had some something happen or go on because she
gets up before I hear and everything else, and I go, okay,
(28:22):
I could tell right away and go okay, something is,
something happens, something's and and I am preemptively getting getting
getting mad at she's getting mad, and I want to say, okay,
what happened? Because I have not done What did I do?
I've been sleeping. I know, I just got up. I
got up. I didn't do anything today. What I would
enter this happened to you, Okay, I feel like that.
That's what cam Ward is doing. I'm making I'm making up.
(28:44):
I'm making up people who may wrong me at some
point in the future. But I may not be wronged.
But that's the thing. He may not he may may
not be all, but he also may drop like a rock.
Maybe maybe that's what the intelly's got, that things could
go badly here. I don't know. You're the Davy Oprah
in a winner. You're great, but exit out bout a fresca,
exit swollen dome. Jason Smith, Mike Carmon Live the Tirack
(29:07):
dot Com studios. Let's find out what's trending right now
for the man who's been called the cam Ward of

Don't you hope he just slides down the list, giving
him more fun.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Oh that should be great. Yeah, and he's up there.
I hate you. Yeah, and he's just instead of shaking
Goodell's hand or giving him the hug, he grabs the
microphone as search, yelling, here's the one.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Guy that could literally list all the guys drafted before
him years later.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I mean, this is a real thing with some of you.
Goodell comes out and says, with the third pick in
the NFL draft, here did he diddy the ding? The
Giants select, not you, cam Ward Shador Sanders quarterbacks.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Calm directly look at him.

Speaker 5 (33:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
No? Seven hundred winning percentage? He is here? Has Mick
Cronin fired any players yet? No? He's blaming the crowd tonight.
Oh oh the crowds. Yeah, the crowd tonight. Jacket to
the Wooden Foundation. Yet I'm waiting for him to blame
John Wooden. If you don't win all those championships, people
wouldn't care as much. It's all Wooden's distress and Paulie
is crazy. How about help the guy. Cheer for the guy.
(33:24):
He's not trying to miss the free throw. Everyone's mind's
on the wrong stuff.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
When you missed ten free throws in a close game.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Oh sorry, Jason Spencer with Mike Carmen Life, The tirec
Dot Comes to You is coming up next. A late
breaking update on Luka doncic end. Why salad might not
be something you want to eat? That's next, Nu Ty Shirt,
That's next Jason and Mike Fox or inside whatever you want.
(33:56):
Wea don't judge here.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith's
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon. We'll get to the salad in a second tossick.
It's kind of weird. It's like we're, you know, we're
gonna finish with salad, Like where we should you know,
start with South Well, if done well, it's it's a meal.
By this time tomorrow night, we will have begun the
(34:27):
next stretch of I can't say the second half, as
we're well into the second half of the rest of
the NBA regular season. We have the first game underway.
It's gonna be a makeup game between the Lakers and
the Hornets. The game was postponed because of the fires
in Los Angeles. Willyams, Yeah, Mark, He's gonna play set
to play tomorrow failed as physical with the Lakers, but
we'll play for the Hornets tomorrow the revenge game, Manute,
(34:49):
let's go. And I gotta say, I love what the
Lakers are doing, how they're hitting the ground running with
Luka Doncic going for the second half. JJ Reddick, my buddy, right,
my buddy, J Reddick, Right, Hey, Hey, we're feuding. JJ
Reddick said, no minutes restrictions on Luca. They expect to
have him no restrictions, ready to go tomorrow night. And
(35:10):
I love this because this is what Luca needs, the Mavericks.
Because you come up with a team, they're going to
give you rope. They're gonna give you a lot of
time to figure stuff out. We're gonna try to get
you to listen to us. And they couldn't. They couldn't
get him to stay in shape. They couldn't get him
not drink beer because they didn't want him drinking enough.
That amount of beer, whatever it was, it's ridiculous, but
(35:32):
they were never going to get him to do what
they wanted him to do, and that's stay in shape
and take care of your body. But when you get
that wake up call, why you get traded, and now
everybody knows the reason was because they didn't want to
pay you three hundred million dollars, because they didn't think
you would ever keep yourself in shape, thought your body
would break down. That's a big wake up call. And
the Lakers could have taken the tack of hey, you're
(35:54):
our next superstar, come in, slide in here a little bit,
get used to things, or worry about your your condition
and nutrition later on. No, instead it's hey, you came here,
We gave you a couple of days to get used
to things. Souse, you got trade. We understand it's a
big hurdle. Mentally, you played a few minutes for us
in a couple of games, then you had some time
off for the All Star break. Now now it's time
(36:14):
to go, you go. It's time for you to put
up and do exactly what we expect you to do
here for the Lakers. And I love them not babying him,
and they're going forward. See JJ Reddick, I'm not always
saying critical things Lakers. I love the way they're doing
things here. I just I'm curious. I mean. JJ Reddick
also said he didn't watch any of that blank that
was the quote about the All Star weekend, so respect,
(36:37):
just be honest. But in this case, now you'll be
curious to watch Luka Donc's minutes and how he's utilized tomorrow. Right,
is Lebron going to be available or is the ankle
still an issue? Because if Lebron's not available, how much
you really need to get after Charlotte? The answer is,
I don't know. Let Austin Reefs take forty five shit.
(37:00):
But for for Luca, I mean, how many heavy minutes
does he play in this one jumping into the second half? Right,
that that's gonna be one of the great things. Like
I'm tired, keep going, but I can get hurt. Doesn't matter.
We got to prove a point tough love. So we
get Luca tomorrow. Yeah, and now too salad. Dustin May
(37:25):
has been a player for the Dodgers the last few
years that always seems to be on the cusp of
being one of their next great pitchers. But missed, you know,
missed everything last year because of an esophagus injury because
a piece of what he's having, he was having a
meal and a piece of lettuce got stuck in his
throat and he had trouble getting it out head, I
(37:46):
almost died. Uh, And he hurt his esophagus so bad
that he couldn't he couldn't pitch the rest of the season. So,
I mean, really, this is the tight shirt, the dangers
of eating salad tearing his esophagus yshy Jason, you the salad. Well,
I'm sure he ate a salad that was made for him,
but it was it was in a restaurant. I mean,
(38:06):
I don't believe that he's not the restaurant. I don't know.
I don't know, Jason. How have you ever heard of
somebody choking on salad? This is a story right here.
It's a baseball player too. We get a lot of
weird injuries in baseball players.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
Yeah, you know when they say like they tested positive
for something, they're like, oh, I had meat or something.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
No, I get the point he was trying to make.
I mean, it was a terrible example. Steroids. No, no,
last night. Oh but it's true though, right, It's like
I had a bad supple. They added something to my meal.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
I ate bad lettuce they added Actually, you know what,
the bad the bad meat could be a thing, though,
Like when you're talking about where it might have, you know,
gotten it. I didn't know this. They put steroids into
my Tomahawk steak.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
I didn't know they were going to say that I
was in Mexico for the weekend.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
How am I supposed to know? Right? I mean, Manny
Ramirez and all those folks, right, fertiqulity.
Speaker 5 (38:58):
Jason, salad has been like mostly water. You can't choke
on lettuce, he did. He almost has to be more soluble.
You know who has the best salad, right, Dustin May.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Oh, that's too too soon, too soon, really to soon
to so that was a hair joke. That's too soon.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
Also, Jason, Like it hurts your your lettuce, lettuce, you
get the best lettuce. It doesn't make sense to me.
What if you choked on like let's say, like I
don't know, an apricot seed or something, or like okay,
something more solid lettuce.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
But like, but what do you I could see where
it would get stuck in your throat, but it hurt.
He there trying to get it out the coffee. I
could see you can see it, he said his hand
in his story. It could cover and it could cover
an opening piece of lettuce. You don't chew it well enough. No.
Speaker 5 (39:41):
Absolutely, I've had Lettuce stuck in my throat and I
just swallow a.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Stay away from away from Lettuce, stay that to my face.
What's the what's the rule that comes out of this? What?
What is knowledge is power? Al Michaels saw this story
and went me, he did the whole Leo DiCaprio sitting
in that lazy boy and sat up and went that
(40:06):
that's why.
Speaker 5 (40:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
Obviously, Gladdy's okay. Yeah, absolutely that everything is okay. It's
a great expectations really bad. You hope he gets back
and pitches very well. It's a great thing. But you know, Salad,
tight shirt, Salad, I don't believe it. Wow, you're calling
Shanette like an investigation. Wow, it was. Maybe maybe we'll
get Dustin May and JJ Redikin here to talk to
(40:28):
both of us.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
I think he's trying to steal money. What doesn't want
to play? That's what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Wow, what's hot take in the final segment, No idea.
I don't think he does. Hoffins brother Yessin. He was
in rain Man. Yes, yeah, yeah, great, yeah, yeah, DIBs
Sally Salad Gibbs four Oak Street, Ben Maller is next
Fox Sports Radio, but he doesn't choke on lettuce, Ben

He is the way tire buying should be well. Coming
(00:55):
up in fifteen minutes, we had a great story surrounding
the NFL Draft about someone who's walking in the draft
with a chip on their shoulder. But I'm not quite
sure why you always have to have a chip on
your shoulder. It gives you that egge always though, you
gotta have an edge. Yeah, I think sometimes people are
self motivated and sometimes you have to have a chip
on your shoulder, so okay, a dairy to knock to
(01:17):
come on, you gotta explain the millennials. Whatever ready battery.
I don't thinven think they make ever ready batteries anymore.
I think if you look hard enough, you'll find I
think you get Doro cell Costco and you're going to
Kirkland and Energizer. Yeah, you get Kirkland, all right, you
get Kirkland, you get Energizer, and you get Dasol. I
think that's it. I don't think they do ever ready
(01:38):
batteries anymore. You know, I have to look this up now.
That was like, that was one of my favorite commercials
when I was a kid, when they showed the starting
the car in the big winter snowstorm. They show you
the temperature was like minus fifty degrees below zero, and
it was still like the battery would turn the car
would turn on, like in the depths and the dearth
of cold. Like that had to be one of the
most impactful ads ever because I know, if I had
(02:00):
a car like that's a battery, I want I live
where it's you know, zero degrees and you know, in
the winter all the time. Want to make sure my
car starts on my car to not turn over in
the morning. Yeah, okay, give me that battery. Well. I
also found an ever Ready First Date eye dressing packet
that you can buy two comes in a packet. Tame,
I don't is it Russian dressing packet? Like what what
do you mean? No? No, no, no, no, like like my
(02:22):
dressing like you would. Oh I think you meant like Ranch.
I'm like dressing like ever Ready Ranch dressing. This dressing
is already great. No, I can have a salad story
coming up. We do. There is a salad story on
the way there is. There is a salad stand. And
I can still get ever Ready batteries. But I get
I bet they're really cheap. They are two forty nine.
What's the tariff though? For how many? No, they're made here.
(02:44):
Ever Ready is made here. No, no tariff. No we're good.
No tech four pack four batteries for two fifty Oh yeah,
I bet you they really power your stuff up. Yeah.
I would put the I would put the batteries into
into my into something and just watch the power baro
from one hundred percent going down to zyrup. Here's a
(03:05):
twenty four pack of Wow, some heavy duty these are
you can barter that for a cardon and eggs twenty
three bucks. I bought it, Like I told you, I
bought eggs for five bucks. You could chase, you could
trace those four batteries for one egg. Yeah, two fifty
because an egg is like a new exchange rate. I mean,
we got we're going back to a barter because talking
(03:25):
to barter. I'm just waiting to go to a store
now and see people trading individual cigarettes for eggs. That's
what that's what I really want to see. I got this, Lucy,
it's a cigarette egg train. You're you're you're selling loose cigarettes. Nah,
single eggs. Minute. I got eggs. I got cigarettes, all right,
and I got this plastic protection. I got it graded
it's a ten. It's the guy looking for the perfect
(03:47):
egg from clerks. What do you What do you got?
I got three red pack Marlboro cigarettes? What do you got?
I got three eggs, not a hide, four eggs, four eggs,
three cigarettes. Done, here you go, let's go. Hey, one
of them's a brown egg eggs. Uh, that's okay. I mean,
you know, I don't get why people have the brown
(04:07):
eggs tastes fine brown eggs my whole life. They taste great.
I don't same when you scramble them saying they put
cheese in them. Everything, that doesn't matter. That's what it is.
The brown eggs, brown egg brown eggs are really good.
Whole life. My wife's been I've been having broks since
I've been with Pam, we've been having brown eggs. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know why. I don't know
the difference. That's okay. Yeah, I've never really done the
(04:29):
new diligence to figure it out. I just know that
one's cheaper than the other one. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know why. You have to have a palette
to know the difference. When you scramble them up, they're fine.
They they taste, they taste the same. There's no difference,
trust me. About the menu at McDonald there's not.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Well, there's a difference in McDonald you're well, you're talking
about completely. There's the there's the Big Mac. It's not
and then there's a big Man Big I don't know.
I didn't go to Burger King. So this is why
Rob Manford sucks the one. Which reason are you picking
up at the list The Dodgers version. Rob Manford sucks
(05:06):
Dodgers version, one of the big stories going to spring training.
Now everybody's here. Now, everybody's in spring training, getting ready
to go already getting big stories. Gencarlo Stanton says, my
elbows are broken. The Red Socks have a guy that
wants to play third base, and they have two third basemen.
It's a big thing. But one of the biggest questions
is now coming off this Dodgers spending spree the last
couple of years, they have twenty three of their of
(05:29):
their players on the active roster are all making thirty
million dollars a year or more. How are they fitting
this in? Many teams are upset because there's a disparity
between what the Dodgers can spend and what they can spend. Now,
the two teams spending the most this year are the
Dodgers and the Mets. Now the Metro spending the most
because they've just gave one Soto seven hundred and sixty
million dollars, But the Dodgers has a lot of people upset.
(05:50):
A lot of teams upset because hey, we can't compete
with that. When they have guys coming in that they
can give less money to him, and players like Shoeyo
Tana say, I'm gonna defer my money so I can
so like we can get it, build a big team
in here to win World Series. Yeah, I can see
why teams are upset and Rob Manford addressed that tonight,
which and and again proving that he sucks. He was
(06:12):
asked about the disparity, how do you really feel, because
he does, man he does. First of all, the guy
hates baseball, So I don't know what else to say.
The guy hates he hates the players, right, Why know
why is a commissioner of baseball? Maybe because we're gonna
payment today like you did that. You did did the
whole shaking the paper like you were gonna do weekend
(06:33):
update or something. He said, he talked tonight, and well,
this is why he sucks. So this is why he sucks. Uh. So,
he's asked about the disparity of the Dodgers what he
can do about the situation, and here's his quote, disparity
should be It certainly is at the top of my
list of concerns about what's occurring in the sport. Okay,
so far, so good. No, that's good, Jim, I can't
(06:55):
be critical of the Dodgers. They're doing what the system allows. Mark.
If I'm going to be critical of somebody, it's not
going to be the Dodgers. It's going to be the system.
First thing, you're the commissioner. You're in charge of the system.
What if this is you? This is not anything that
predates you. This is not Hey, I showed up and
(07:15):
there's a new system. You're not a system commissioner. Okay,
I'm coming on a system commissioner. Okay. So right away
he's pulling me. What can I do. I'm just the
commissioner of baseball. What if he had called himself the system.
I'm the system, commit I am the system. Okay, I
am sending the system. I'm gonna see if I can
get him to sign it with within the inscription of
(07:37):
I am the system. Homes the system. Quarterback, I am
the system. Suddenly, now, oh, it's the system. I'm not
going to be critical of the Dodgers. I'm not going
And he said it again, I'm not gonna be critical
of the Dodgers. Mordest thing you ever said, dude, Like
I get that. Look, there's nothing you do because the
Dodgers are doing what's allowed here. But this is where
as commissioner, you would say something like, hey, yeah, this
(07:58):
is a big deal the Dodger do this. We have
to look into this because yes, I see there's an
advantage here. But instead it's, oh, hey, I'm not going
to be mad at the Dodgers. And this is why
Rob Banford sucks because he's completely played favorites since he
became commissioner, loving the owners over the players, loving some
owners and some teams over other teams. Right, well, I
mean because you should own the love the owners over
(08:20):
the players. Do the work for them. Yeah, but but
not overly so to say I want to give this
hunk of metal to a to a deserving owner, No no, no,
you stills the players. Yeah, you still have to show
some love and some for the sanctity of the game.
But this is where I say he sucks like own
owners over other owners because hey, oh I can't do anything.
The Dodgers are doing something that is completely unprecedented with
(08:41):
all these players that bring keep giving contracts to, and
he says, can't be critical of them. Meanwhile, Steve Cohen
buys the Mets a few years ago and after his
first year when he ratches up the payroll up to
two hundred and forty five million. What happens, They institute
of Steve Cohen tax. If you go over two hundred
million dollars, here's a tax you got to pay. Over
two hundred and forty million dollars, you pay this packs
(09:02):
this tax. Over two hundred and ninety five million dollars,
you pay this tax. Even call it the Coen tax.
So after a year of Steve Cohen owning the team
where he said I'm going to spend as much as
I want to on players, all of a sudden, Baseball
he comes in with, oh, we have the Coen tax
going on here. Oh, because the Mets were not seen
as worthy enough of being a team that can outspend everybody.
Steve Cohen's not coming into this game and just showing
(09:24):
everybody that he spends all money. It's the Mets to
the number two team in the in the in the city.
But the Dodgers when they're doing Hey, that's okay, the
Dodgers doing it. I'm not going to criticize them. But
he comes up with a bleeping rule for the Mets.
A year after Cohen comes in doing something that's just Hey,
the payroll was a two hundred and fifty million. Think
about that. Now, two fifty that's like, you know what
the pirates are at. So I was like, oh, two
hundred fifty million, okay, sorry, that's what the I can't
(09:47):
say the Phillies are over three hundred million. But that's
completely unfair, and it's him showing that I'm playing favorites
where the Dodgers are doing this, and I'm not even
going to say that it's something that's that I'm I'm
gonna be critical of or say that we have to
stop the He's even asked about, are you put some
kind of cap in, some kind of salary thing controls? Hey,
I'm not. The next negotiations are a year away. I'm
(10:07):
not gonna get into anything else. He's basically saying, I'm
not doing anything about that. I'm staying away from the Dodgers.
I'm staying away from the criticism of this team. But
oh boy, Steve Cohen comes in and says, I have
a lot of money. I can spend it. I'm sorry
your other owners are as rich as Steve Cohen. I'm
sorry that certain owners aren't as rich as other owners.
Don't own a baseball team. Then, but if he can
come in and say, I'm okay with spending this money,
(10:28):
Oh no, no, Now we're gonna put a tax in
just because we don't want him to do it, because
we don't feel the Mets are worthy If the Dot,
if the Dodgers did that three years ago, or the
Yankees did that three years ago, or the Red Sox
did that three years ago, he would say, yeah, what
he's saying now, I'm not gonna get mad at them.
It's the system. It's the system. Oh no, no, But
the Mets did it because they're not worthy of Oh,
we can't have the Mets come in Johnny cub Lately,
(10:51):
he's not showing up and telling us how to do things.
Oh no, no, no, We're gonna make sure that we
hamstring the Mets for doing this. Right, We're gonna put
a speed limit on them. But now the Dodger doing it,
and it's what can I do? Right? It's it's a system.
I don't know what to say. I'm only the commissioner
of baseball. I don't know what you want me to do.
I just sit here. I served the pleasure of the owners.
You have a lot of owners are man. Yeah, but
you know the Dodgers are big owners, so I don't
(11:12):
know what you want me to do. Like that's why
he sucks. Well, they're still adhering to the Coen Tax,
which is not an official name, just just some folks
are aware. Like that's what it became. Notice after he
committed and he spent, we're calling it the Coen tax
(11:32):
is not well, Hamilton, and we're arguing with each other
and giving things names to Hamilton wrote the other fifty
five John Jay got sick after writing four. But to
that before we're doing it, he comes in and says,
I'm gonna do it. No, no, Now we have a tax.
So to stop Steve Cohen, because we knew all the
other owners, We're gonna at least say hey, we're gonna
(11:53):
pretend to not spend a certain amount of money. We're
gonna collude a seeps co and say, no, I want
my team to win. I'm not gonna sit here and
and play an unfair game. I have money to spend.
I don't care. I just made ten million dollars in
the last eight seconds. I have money to spend. So yeah,
oh no, but we don't want him doing it and
that's really unfair. Well, and you adopted the rules and
(12:14):
everybody's got to play by him, and the Dodgers will
pay the requisite taxes. But then they found the loopholes
to the system, right when we talk about it, like
the substance, they found the loopholes to it all, and
the deferred money, which is not entirely new. I mean,
guys have been doing this, just not to this level.
(12:35):
And the fact that the Dodgers have had superstar after
superstar who are willing to just come on board and say,
all right, I know I'm gonna get mine. It's baseball,
it's guaranteed money. Just a matter of when I think
I can live on the fifteen million they're gonna give
me this year. I think I'll be okay, and eventually
I'll get the rest, oh down the line, and it's
(12:55):
all good by then we're also negotiating a new deal
and everything else. But to the point for Major League
Baseball as a whole, the issue is that those top
teams and I get your vexation and frustration with the
Coen tax, because it's being done to me. That's why no,
it's been go cry in the corner it's been done
to you. You just wait till we buy Vlad Guerrero
(13:17):
Junior next year. You just wait till you don't have
to go to a winning team. Did you not hear him?
He did say that, and we win, We were in
the won. But it's a question that last year and
that's not winning. How big a winner does he want?
He said, championships. It's not the nuts. Yeah, no, that's fine,
that's us. Your eyes got really wide as he said, no,
that's us. Now you can't spend because you said mets
and championships just yet ships He started thinking of that
(13:41):
alternate earth. But all of that to say that, you
just get to the point of the ten to fifteen
teams who spent a little or spent nothing this offseason.
You've got to bring the floor up.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
We can fight all we want about the teams at
the top and how we adjudicate uh they're spending limits,
and how deferred money, how much you can have on
the books for ten years hence, so whatever. We can
talk about all that, but you got all these other
teams that aren't doing a damn thing yet, Well, they
get to siphon off one hundred and fifty dollars. But
(14:13):
too many of the national revenue run their team too
much like a business. Obviously, I'm not saying it's it's
a business. Obviously, there's too many teams that run it
too much like a business, and not enough of it's
a business that we're trying to succeed at. Where you
know teams like the Brewers or the Pirates or the Raiser. Hey,
we're gonna not spend this money. We're gonna see if
(14:35):
we catch lightning in a bottle and get a little
bit of excitement over the course of a season. Okay,
you're running it like a business where I'm sorry if
you don't have enough money. We see if you know,
there's only reason why there's only thirty of these teams
out there. If you have a lot of money, this
is when you buy a team. Because Steve Coles it,
I don't care if I lose money. Again, the guy
makes in the hundreds of millions of dollars every two weeks.
(14:56):
That's what the guy. I'm proud of him. He's doing
a great job. If you I had more teams that
with owners that wanted to win as much as they
want to run a successful business. Look what you have, man,
look at you to have. But if you've set up
a system whereby you're gonna give me one hundred and
fifty million dollars for showing up, which is the national revenue.
That's before I do anything locally. That's before I sell
(15:18):
one chicken nugget, one coke, one bucket of popcorn, or
I put a car in a parking spot chicken nuggets.
Think about that. Good. Jason Smithson with Mike Carbon live

Hey guys, you think Mick Cronan's dancing to this right now. No,
Mick Cronan not happy. No, this will be salty McK cronan. Oh,
it's gonna be some great posts. So just a Tuesday. Yeah,
Ucla lost in Minnesota at Pauli and a half point favorites.
(17:17):
They were and Mick Cronan looking resplendent in a uh
Wooden suit coat jacket that I think he probably took
from the John Wooden mannequin uh in West where you
broke it with a broke the window with a with
an elbow, put the jacket. So we came in with
a little laser thing like the Fox. Yeah yeah yeah. Ocean, well,
the bad oceans, the bad oceans. Well you know it,
(17:39):
it got better. It's like the h It's like the
Phantom Menace and stuff. Okay, it's aged better than it. No,
it hasn't, because I'll tell you why too. Things twelve
number one. Oh, you have to get past this and
there's no pattern. How do you get past something with
no pattern? How do you make the anticipatory moves when
something doesn't have a pay You're a wizard. No, you
can't do it. It's gotta be a really complicated pattern
(18:01):
that youre fair. Oh, if there's no pattern, you're gonna
get caught. How can you go? How can Vincent Castle
go through this whole thing where I'm jumping up and
over the lasers but there's no pattern. No, no pattern
means it's gonna get you. So that was stupid. And
then all they go through the whole thing and they
have the briefcat it's on it's on the train with them,
and they get distracted because a dude and a Yankee
(18:21):
hat and the Red Sox they had get in a fight.
Oh that's what it is. Really, they're the reason.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
They know.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Okay, we get all look at this, something happened. Yeah,
they're all common, they're all thieves. They all know something's
gonna happen to cause a distraction. All here's a guy
with the Yankee had and the Red Sox had. Oh,
by the way, not even in the United States, and
they're gonna fight and they're gonna take that was stupid.
Cloney was right when he said we got to do
another one. Can't go out that way. Good glad they
did thirteen. They're coming back for fourteen. So there, of
(18:48):
course they have to win. I deal with I mean,
unfortunately we're missing a couple of guys. Yeah, well you
come back well with a Dodger on Rob Manfred will be.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
There.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
There's a guy with an astro's hat. They's trying to
trying to steal the the MLB World Series, Trump and
the hunk of metal. Here you go take it, and
he gets distracted. Someone hits a trash can. He turns
one way. They grabbed the World Series and run away
with it. What am I gonna do? They fooled me? Well, uh,
(19:21):
so this is my favorite NFL story of the day.
So cam Ward of the Miami Hurricanes, who is set
to go somewhere in the top three of the NFL draft,
maybe number one, maybe two, maybe three, uh, had a
message for any team that is going to pass on
him in the draft. Now. He won the Davy O'Brien
(19:42):
Award as a top quarterback in the country last night.
It should have been calm accord. Uh but uh. He
gave this speech when he was asked about, Hey, the
draft is coming up. What do you think Titans pick
number one, Brown's pick number two, Giants pick number three.
They all need quarterbacks, he said, quote, you're either gonna
draft me or you're not. If you don't draft me,
(20:04):
that's your fault. You gotta remember you're the same team
that's gotta play me for the rest of my career,
and I'll remember that. So two teams, one team. I'm
gonna hold it against the one team that passes by.
I'm not slipping all the way down to pick twenty five.
I'm gonna hold it against the one team that doesn't
(20:25):
take me. When I play the Titans every two and
a half years, you wait, or if the Browns take me,
and I bet wait till I play off, the Giants
take me, and I gotta play the AFC every four
years when we play the Browns to the Titans, I'm
really gonna come up with a big game there, dude.
Come on, man, what the hell? What do you mean?
You add up the teams that passed me. You may
go number one overall and in that case, nobody's gonna
(20:46):
pass on you, and maybe then you're not even motivated
to play. Oh, nobody passed on me. I kind of
peaked here at twenty three years old. Like this is
if you were if you were falling through the first round,
or you were projected to be a pick that maybe
went somewhere in the teams or in the late first round,
and you wanted to say you pass on me, I'm
gonna find Okay, I get it, because I get the
players use that as motivation, But dude, one team is
(21:08):
gonna wind up passing on you. At most, You're gonna
most likely go to the Browns because it seems like
the decks are cleared for Schador standers to go to
the Giants at number three, right, that's his preferred destination.
That's where Shador wants to be. That's where Dion wants
to be. Okay, Ward is gonna be the first quarterback
off the mord, so that means he goes first or second.
So really, if you pass on me, I'm it. Hold
it a got you did one team, one team you're
(21:30):
gonna play every three year? What the hell are you
talking about? Yeah, I mean, Chadora is the furthest He's
falling as he goes and hangs out with Brady and
his buddy Mark Davis there in Las Vegas. He's he's
going to the He talked about that. I'll be I'll
be here. I'll be playing in this stadium in Dallas, down.
I'll be playing here in a couple of years. That's
his boot. When this guy's talking like he's dropping out
(21:50):
of the first round, but he's a top three pick,
I'm gonna use this his motivation. Dude, you're going I
like that. I mean, you gotta find something that laterels you.
You're going second right, You look in the mirror, Hey,
you know what, I gotta get back to the gym.
You know the chin or or maybe you're looking like
you need to go pump up the biceps or whatever.
You know, whatever your motivation is, you gotta do it.
(22:11):
And in his case, he's creating imaginary teams that I kid.
I could see him going at number one and saying
all you teams are could have traded up for me
and didn't. But that's it. You're gonna hold it again.
You all chose not to come get me.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
What do you take?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
All of you? All of you failed, doesn't you. You
took Abduel Carter, you took chanor Sanders, you took Travis Hunter.
You could have traded up to get me hair at
number one, and you didn't. Hey, Titans, you took Travis
Hunter and then I went and you wait and see
(22:48):
what happens. Yeah, Tennessee, I really wanted Nashville instead I
got Cleveland. What are you doing? What do you do?
You think he lives in a van down by the river.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
You could.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I don't know what that's all about, because I get
I get the using the your draft position is motivation, right,
I understand that. Right. You talk on running all the
teams that passed on him, right, I get that, and
it works right, and it works for some people I get.
I am a motivational speaker. Okay, I'm gonna sit here
(23:18):
and go through the teams that passed on me in
the draft. Titans. Okay, let's go play. All done, All done?
My my pregame stuff is already. I'm done. I'm done.
Remember the Titans right here?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Come on?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Nothing else? I mean, really, he's gonna he's gonna have
less teams passing. And then the Titans had plays? How many? What? What? What?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
What?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
What? Denzil watches that have five plays? How do not
stop a team with five offensive plays? You practice against
the five plays? You know what they are? Honest? Come on, obviously,
it's the end of grade school before things get too complicated.
And every once in a while we had a wrinkle,
we ran eight of the time, we ran three, running
the same three running plays. When he says I only
(23:58):
have these plays, I only have We all only run
five plays? Really, why do you need to practice? Then?
Once we get the five plays down, I think we're
pretty good the excellence. We're good of execution. We're good
where I gotta keep your cardio up. Come on, remember Luca,
all right, would you forget that story we did? You
gotta keep your cardio up. Man ran those five plays
pretty good. You guys all take laps. Now, let's do
(24:18):
defense because I know Goslin you've got trouble covering people. Right,
You're gonna have to come out of a dance really well,
I couldn't sing. We saw that he lived in a
van down by the river. Good, good luck with it.
I mean, cam Moore, come on, like he's inventing. I'm
inventing this chip that I'm gonna put on. I actually
think he just wanted he doesn't have a chip on
his show. There's no chip there yet because he could
go number one. He could, but somebody disrespected him. In
(24:42):
his opinion, we haven't had the draft yet. Who has
we haven't even had the combine yet who is disrespect well?
But people are maybe in their mock drafts they've got
him going a bit later. I'm gonna get you mel
Kiper and I'll get you Todd McShay. When I go
out there, I'm gonna make sure I'm thinking about you
not having me. Come mean, the guy did play at
(25:03):
three different colleges. At some point he heard something in
the in the rooms where they he wasn't loved what
the same way he needed to be. He won the
Davey O'Brien doesn't matter. I mean, why don't know what
you're talking He won in the it's about the four
years before that. It's about the long hard road before that.
The court should have won. But still he did it.
And and cam Wore's a terrific talent, right, this guy,
(25:24):
he's one. He's like a he's like a better Anthony
Richardson who can put points on the board in a hurry. Right, Like,
here's a big difference. This guy's played a lot. He's
actually on the no, he's on the field. It doesn't
throw as many interceptions, but he I mean, he's instant offense.
He'll fit with any system. He's terrific player. It's like,
I mean, like when you have to invent an imaginary
(25:47):
opponent when you're twenty three years old, twenty two years old. Dude,
Come on, man, you got to be motivated for something
else before you say, hey, I gotta find a way
to stand about. How many people have you known in
your life? Hey, you got it. You got a steady job.
Maybe maybe you've got a man or a woman at
your side. It seems okay from the outside, a couple
of kids, they're not juvenile delinquents. You got a dog
(26:08):
that hasn't been attacking anybody on the walks, got a
nice car that hasn't broken down. You don't live in
a you know, a rambu, you know, in a van
down by the river, in a van or a shack
like all of that. But you don't know what's going
on between the years. You don't know. I mean every day.
That guy may still feel like compared to siblings, compared
to you know, friends, might feel like he needs some
(26:33):
extra motivation. For cam Warton, he may be looking around shootors,
getting a lot of headlines, getting a lot of love.
Maybe this was his way of saying what about me? No,
it isn't fair. I've had enough. I want my share.
I've had enough. I've had enough of winning the award
for Best Quarterback. I've had enough of all the nil
money I got to come to Miami. I've had enough.
It wasn't enough. Maybe there was a sponsor, they had
talks with it. It broke down because they've fought over
(26:55):
money and they've had enough. Who wronged you? Nobody, but
they might, so I'm getting ahead of it. This is
the equivalent of somebody getting mad at you because they
had a dream and in their dream you did something wrong.
So they're mad at you when they wake up. But
just because your paranoid doesn't mean that they're not after
you. You did it my dream. You did it, but I
would never do that real But you did it my dream.
(27:16):
I'm mad at you. Okay that maybe they're thinking it's
a moment of foreshadowing. Right, you're having your h what
was that Stephen King thing? What was the plenty of
movies that kind of went to shiny No, no, no,
the one with Christopher Walking oh oh oh and Martin
Sheen right, yeah, where you're seeing Martin was a president. Sorry,
(27:40):
before he was a president, he was the president a lot. Yeah, Tilson,
Oh yeah, he could tell the futures. Is that the
dead zone? Dead zone? Dead zone? Yeah, so you see
the future. So I see you're going to wrong me.
I don't know when, but now as I go in
my conscious day the next day, I'm waiting for you
to turn on me, like you're gonna make a heel
turn like it's w w E about me. That's where
(28:00):
cam Ward is. He's waiting for the other shoe to
drop it for you, you, Lieutenant Weinberg. I'm pretty your Yes, yeah,
I could, you know. And I always tell certain days,
like when I wake up, I know that, okay, whatever
today is like like something's happened in the morning, like
Pam's had some something happen or go on because she
gets up before I hear and everything else, and I go, okay,
(28:22):
I could tell right away and go okay, something is,
something happens, something's and and I am preemptively getting getting
getting mad at she's getting mad, and I want to say, okay,
what happened? Because I have not done What did I do?
I've been sleeping. I know, I just got up. I
got up. I didn't do anything today. What I would
enter this happened to you, Okay, I feel like that.
That's what cam Ward is doing. I'm making I'm making up.

Goodell's hand or giving him the hug, he grabs the
microphone as search, yelling, here's the one.

him years later.

Cronin fired any players yet? No? He's blaming the crowd tonight.
Oh oh the crowds. Yeah, the crowd tonight. Jacket to

wouldn't care as much. It's all Wooden's distress and Paulie

He's not trying to miss the free throw. Everyone's mind's
on the wrong stuff.

When you missed ten free throws in a close game.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Oh sorry, Jason Spencer with Mike Carmen Life, The tirec
Dot Comes to You is coming up next. A late
breaking update on Luka doncic end. Why salad might not
be something you want to eat? That's next, Nu Ty Shirt,
That's next Jason and Mike Fox or inside whatever you want.
(33:56):
Wea don't judge here.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith's
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon. We'll get to the salad in a second tossick.
It's kind of weird. It's like we're, you know, we're
gonna finish with salad, Like where we should you know,
start with South Well, if done well, it's it's a meal.
By this time tomorrow night, we will have begun the
(34:27):
next stretch of I can't say the second half, as
we're well into the second half of the rest of
the NBA regular season. We have the first game underway.
It's gonna be a makeup game between the Lakers and
the Hornets. The game was postponed because of the fires
in Los Angeles. Willyams, Yeah, Mark, He's gonna play set
to play tomorrow failed as physical with the Lakers, but
we'll play for the Hornets tomorrow the revenge game, Manute,
(34:49):
let's go. And I gotta say, I love what the
Lakers are doing, how they're hitting the ground running with
Luka Doncic going for the second half. JJ Reddick, my buddy, right,
my buddy, J Reddick, Right, Hey, Hey, we're feuding. JJ
Reddick said, no minutes restrictions on Luca. They expect to
have him no restrictions, ready to go tomorrow night. And
(35:10):
I love this because this is what Luca needs, the Mavericks.
Because you come up with a team, they're going to
give you rope. They're gonna give you a lot of
time to figure stuff out. We're gonna try to get
you to listen to us. And they couldn't. They couldn't
get him to stay in shape. They couldn't get him
not drink beer because they didn't want him drinking enough.
That amount of beer, whatever it was, it's ridiculous, but
(35:32):
they were never going to get him to do what
they wanted him to do, and that's stay in shape
and take care of your body. But when you get
that wake up call, why you get traded, and now
everybody knows the reason was because they didn't want to
pay you three hundred million dollars, because they didn't think
you would ever keep yourself in shape, thought your body
would break down. That's a big wake up call. And
the Lakers could have taken the tack of hey, you're
(35:54):
our next superstar, come in, slide in here a little bit,
get used to things, or worry about your your condition
and nutrition later on. No, instead it's hey, you came here,
We gave you a couple of days to get used
to things. Souse, you got trade. We understand it's a
big hurdle. Mentally, you played a few minutes for us
in a couple of games, then you had some time
off for the All Star break. Now now it's time
(36:14):
to go, you go. It's time for you to put
up and do exactly what we expect you to do
here for the Lakers. And I love them not babying him,
and they're going forward. See JJ Reddick, I'm not always
saying critical things Lakers. I love the way they're doing
things here. I just I'm curious. I mean. JJ Reddick
also said he didn't watch any of that blank that
was the quote about the All Star weekend, so respect,
(36:37):
just be honest. But in this case, now you'll be
curious to watch Luka Donc's minutes and how he's utilized tomorrow. Right,
is Lebron going to be available or is the ankle
still an issue? Because if Lebron's not available, how much
you really need to get after Charlotte? The answer is,
I don't know. Let Austin Reefs take forty five shit.
(37:00):
But for for Luca, I mean, how many heavy minutes
does he play in this one jumping into the second half? Right,
that that's gonna be one of the great things. Like
I'm tired, keep going, but I can get hurt. Doesn't matter.
We got to prove a point tough love. So we
get Luca tomorrow. Yeah, and now too salad. Dustin May
(37:25):
has been a player for the Dodgers the last few
years that always seems to be on the cusp of
being one of their next great pitchers. But missed, you know,
missed everything last year because of an esophagus injury because
a piece of what he's having, he was having a
meal and a piece of lettuce got stuck in his
throat and he had trouble getting it out head, I
(37:46):
almost died. Uh, And he hurt his esophagus so bad
that he couldn't he couldn't pitch the rest of the season. So,
I mean, really, this is the tight shirt, the dangers
of eating salad tearing his esophagus yshy Jason, you the salad. Well,
I'm sure he ate a salad that was made for him,
but it was it was in a restaurant. I mean,
(38:06):
I don't believe that he's not the restaurant. I don't know.
I don't know, Jason. How have you ever heard of
somebody choking on salad? This is a story right here.
It's a baseball player too. We get a lot of
weird injuries in baseball players.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
Yeah, you know when they say like they tested positive
for something, they're like, oh, I had meat or something.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
No, I get the point he was trying to make.
I mean, it was a terrible example. Steroids. No, no,
last night. Oh but it's true though, right, It's like
I had a bad supple. They added something to my meal.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
I ate bad lettuce they added Actually, you know what,
the bad the bad meat could be a thing, though,
Like when you're talking about where it might have, you know,
gotten it. I didn't know this. They put steroids into
my Tomahawk steak.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
I didn't know they were going to say that I
was in Mexico for the weekend.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
How am I supposed to know? Right? I mean, Manny
Ramirez and all those folks, right, fertiqulity.
Speaker 5 (38:58):
Jason, salad has been like mostly water. You can't choke
on lettuce, he did. He almost has to be more soluble.
You know who has the best salad, right, Dustin May.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Oh, that's too too soon, too soon, really to soon
to so that was a hair joke. That's too soon.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
Also, Jason, Like it hurts your your lettuce, lettuce, you
get the best lettuce. It doesn't make sense to me.
What if you choked on like let's say, like I
don't know, an apricot seed or something, or like okay,
something more solid lettuce.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
But like, but what do you I could see where
it would get stuck in your throat, but it hurt.
He there trying to get it out the coffee. I
could see you can see it, he said his hand
in his story. It could cover and it could cover
an opening piece of lettuce. You don't chew it well enough. No.
Speaker 5 (39:41):
Absolutely, I've had Lettuce stuck in my throat and I
just swallow a.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Stay away from away from Lettuce, stay that to my face.
What's the what's the rule that comes out of this? What?
What is knowledge is power? Al Michaels saw this story
and went me, he did the whole Leo DiCaprio sitting
in that lazy boy and sat up and went that
(40:06):
that's why.
Speaker 5 (40:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
Obviously, Gladdy's okay. Yeah, absolutely that everything is okay. It's
a great expectations really bad. You hope he gets back
and pitches very well. It's a great thing. But you know, Salad,
tight shirt, Salad, I don't believe it. Wow, you're calling
Shanette like an investigation. Wow, it was. Maybe maybe we'll
get Dustin May and JJ Redikin here to talk to
(40:28):
both of us.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
I think he's trying to steal money. What doesn't want
to play? That's what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Wow, what's hot take in the final segment, No idea.
I don't think he does. Hoffins brother Yessin. He was
in rain Man. Yes, yeah, yeah, great, yeah, yeah, DIBs
Sally Salad Gibbs four Oak Street, Ben Maller is next
Fox Sports Radio, but he doesn't choke on lettuce, Ben
