Gene Hackman had a 40-year career in Hollywood, and over 30 of his films - due to his performance in them - could be classified as "good to great." That's an insane amount of success. No one else has that. He might be the most talented movie actor of the last 75 years.

girl dad night at the Laker game tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Is that right? And uh?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
The Lakers showing everybody how it's done. They have raced
out to a twenty seven to thirteen lead over the Timberwolves.
Luka Doncic has just come out of the game eleven points,
five rebounds, and four assists in the first nine minutes.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Is that good? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Usually the Knicks stake their whole bench to play the
entire game. To get those numbers in total, I'd take
the under eleven bench and four you.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Have Mitchell Robinson's coming back maybe this weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
So okay, that's gonna be tough because the rebound does
give you that six guy. Yeah, Lebron's got eight and
three rebounds. Look, it's it's it's shanngri Law right now.
It's sunshine, lollipops and rainbows for the Lakers. Lebron is
is rejuvenated, Luca is happy. They're running up and down
the floor, throwing baseball passes to each other, They're laughing
(01:49):
and dunking.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I mean, everything is coming up Lakers right now.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Man.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I told you with this.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Trade game, they were gonna finish second in the Western
Conference and they're gonna score one hundred and thirty points
a game. And now they're defense when they need to
play defense the way they can.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It works.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Lebron doesn't have to carry the offense like he used to.
He can pick his spots and carry, you know, for
a six to seven minute stretching the second quarter, in
the fourth quarter. Like, everything is coming up Lakers right now.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Well, one of the things we've talked about a bunch
with this and where we get a little bit of noise,
but the reality of the defensive metrics is going to
happen tonight and we're watching it already. Is that the
pressure that they put on you because of the offensive
attack and some of them simplification of what they've done. Right,
here's lob Pass's turn score done and opening up the
(02:35):
shooters as Luca and and Lebron will do, is that
opponents start making it a three point shooting contest. Seventeen
attempts so far for the te Wolves, thirteen of them
are three points.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Come on, what are we doing? How else are you
supposed to the side and now you're down.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But now you're down fourteen. You got no choice. If
there was a four point play, they'd be shooting it.
Rock and Jock the.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Giant Target, Jason Smith Mike Harmon will have more on
the update Lakers and the Wolves again twenty nine thirteen. Now,
I'll tell you, man, this is this has got to
be something rest the NBA has got to get used to.
This is how the Lakers are gonna come out of
the gate like this every single night. Man, It's really something.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Luca turns twenty six tomorrow. Yeah yeah, Man's birthday.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Yeah yeah. Do you think the postgame celebration is though,
Oh it is? It beer and hookah, That's what it's
gonna be. So like, if they really beat the hell
out of this squad tonight, it's before the Clippers games
that they've got over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Go go gre Jason.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's hookah.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
It's Luca, not hook It's Luca with a hookah in
one hand and a beer in the other hand and
his dad next to him. And then somehow they're all
flipping off Michael Finley and and well yeah, Nico Harrison, okay, sure, yeah, yeah,
I missed it.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Did they have any more stories that they decided to
leak to disparage if did they go down to that
Starbucks and say, hey, stop fighting, here's something you both
can talk about.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I would like to, you know, maybe that's a thing
where in the off season, like remember the videos that
came out like a bunch a bunch of years ago,
like in the early two thousands of the backyard wrestling
videos or the living the living room wrestling videos where
people would just put like like uh like sheets over
different things in the living room and they would fight.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
People would just fight.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I was a little nervous, like going behind the beaded curtain.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I remember seeing videos like of people are here. My
living room is big, and I've put sheets over all
the all the furniture, and we're just gonna fight. People
who have beef are gonna fight. Like I can see
that at Starbucks. Hey, we're gonna cover the glass. We're
gonna have the you know, cover the coffee machines. The
Maurisas are gonna stand on the side, and you're gonna
have to come in and fight like you're Jordan Cheltenean
Rappa Pols.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You have Huey Lewis playing in the background. We'll have
a house band.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
So we get between Fight Club and American Psycho somewhere.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, yeah, it was h That was a whole other series.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I remember I had one of those videos and it
was it was two women who were fighting in a
house and they were just it was I remember her,
just yell. I've been waiting for this for so long
since you blankety blankety blank, my husband and all.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Them going on. Actually, Jerry, Jerry the Oll.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Came running in. Uh yeah, so maybe we do that
at Starbucks.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Now why not?
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I mean that one had an open floor plan, because
you're just like if you're in an airport terminal and
stuff you.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
No no no space.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
And I don't and I don't mean you just close
it down. I mean you still serve business while peop
will fight in the Starbucks.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Absolutely, yeah, you're you're really close to the capitalism has
to keep churning.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Hotter rice, hot please, okay, whip cream? No, okay, great
size please talk at Okay, that's great.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
You're not helping me with the ice drink, though I
need the hot drink. Just think because you might have
to turn right. You're in a precarious situation.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
What do you want?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
You want to go to the eyes? You know, I
went to.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Starbucks today and I got to say this because now
you know, I get a coffee drink almost every every day.
I drink half of it in the day and half
of it at night kind of how I do it, and
I go it and and the only size of all
the changes Starbucks says they have, the only size I
have up for you is Grande.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
So I've been getting Grande drinks Runde and I'm and then.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I see the tall cups and I go, oh, I'm
gonna get that, but I'm gonna get a tall.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
They no longer put Tall, at least the Starbucks that
I go to and in my neighborhoods as an option,
because I think they want you to think Grande is
the one you have to get, so it's and it's
bigger and it's more money. So like they don't have
that option. It's just here's the drinks and it says
Grande this, and sometimes you can get an extra large
on the other side. But you can still get tall.
I just have to ask for I said, oh, wow,
(06:39):
that's that's that's that's guy. I don't know how I
feel about that. I'm like, I get that you want to,
you know, with with with with having some kind of
capital and being able to make money, but boy, you
should really say all the sizes you have, because I
bet you they think we lose money if someone comes
in and sees it tall, they're going to order a
tall for four and a half dollars instead of the
(07:00):
for six and a half dollars, And that's two dollars
we don't get right, so you can still get it.
They just don't have it on the sign.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
That's interesting.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
How about that I don't get any value from any
of those places because I drink too much coffee. Yeah,
so I don't. I don't see the point. Yeah for me,
like I get the pods and I make my own
at home.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
But and you know, it's fun tonight saying inside the
NBA talking about the Jordan Chlza and Rappaport fight when
they opened the show tonight, and Charles is saying, you know,
and I went to Starbucks and Kenny says, you gotta
go there for a two dollars coffee And I'm going
someone who's never been to Starbucks?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Did you get coffee for two dollars? And Starbucks?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
What Starbucks? You knowing to here?
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Man?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Come on Starbucks for two dollars, two dollars if they
had throwback Day, so hey, this is our first prices
back in nine to Yeah, okay maybe then, but you
do not get anything for two dollars at Starbucks.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
You're not getting that for I don't know that it's
two bucks.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
At McDonald's, I'm just glad I can still get a
puppuccino for Benny and they do it for free.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Take care of you there. Yeah, you get a peppaccino.
You gave a puppuccino.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
They give you a little cup with cream with RiPP
cream in it for your dog and they call it
a puppa I.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Really think he actually has the cat the whip cream himself.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
No, no, no, I don't know my dog.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No, it's PhD. I haven't been doing doing whip cream.
But Ben, No, Betty loves the whip cream. And you
give you puppaccino. You go and say, I get a
little pppaccino. They give you a little tiny cup like
a water cup and they fill it with Is that
all animals?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
No, it's not the.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Animals like Benny loves it. Are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
So they can have it.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
They're not giving you stuff if it's going to be
bad for the dog. You imagine the lawsuits going horrible.
Whiped cream for a dog is absolutely.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Horrible's agreeing with you? Then that's a hack. She's found.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yes, yes, Dexter, you still love that the killer? The
killer or my dog that is no longer around?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh okay, they used to kill people.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
On TV after that, but what well hold on? The
show was popular at the time, and then our old
family dog was Rex. So I was like, oh, if
we call him Dexter, we call him dex, which we
never did, so he was just exert. He didn't like
dex Like it was either going to be Blake Griffin
or Dexter.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
And what if you adn't know Blake Griffin, he'd be
getting hurt all.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
The time he was getting hurt. He should have been
Blake Griffin. Okay, he absolutely should have. But did you
did you experience when they went from the like water
cup to the tiny little cup?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I was like, that's okay because it's a lot that
there's a lot of few shouldn't do it all the
time for dogs, but giving it a treat once in
a while, I'm okay with getting the small one.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
But my dog was a big one.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
He was like ninety pounds, so I was like, can
we give him a regular one, not the tiny tiny one.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
That's when you got to go through McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Just get him one of those ice creams and go
here you go, and then two bites he finishes it.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Who said, I didn't you got whatever you want?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Whatever you wanted, Okay, he asked for the ariana.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
They give you the small one.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh, well, yeah, yeah, okay, all right, you didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
No, I did not know that. I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I didn't even have to say ronde.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
No, I didn't know that. Still defying gravity. Uh so
I began just a weird thing. Don't put that, don't
put tall up there. Just think about that for a second.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Are we gonna do a full expos a on this
road trip?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Smith blows the lid off of your Starbucks axe.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
How you do it?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
You could get a puppuccino, eat it yourself for free,
and get a tall drink.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
For the same pricepcino. Man, what are you doing? You
did aina? He did reference to whip cream bikini last.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Drink? Is that? How you? Bennie?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Benny is one of those dogs that when he gets
the cup and just kind of sticks to his face
because he like just you know, he just like sucks
it like you know, you know, when you're a kid
and you get the plastic cup and you put it
on your mouth and go and you just see how
long can stick there?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Like that? That's what Benny does. I mean, I can
still do that, I think, but I don't do that anymore.
I don't believe you.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
No, I don't do it.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
No, that's not something that I think you're gonna Zoey.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
No, Joey, Okay, wake her up.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I probably did that when Zoe was was a baby,
but I don't do that anymore, Popper Dog. I can't
do that for Benny. Benny is fine. Benny is healthy
and happy.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
He yes, he is. He's so happy you're.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Giving him whip cream. I don't think he's doing that.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I brought him into Starbucks. He has not gotten into
one fight. He is absolutely fine. He's he doesn't fight
with other dog over anything involving Matthew Stafford or Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
He is, he is.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
It's not somebody did a tail of the tape on
that today and it was Jordan Schultz five nine, two fifteen.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It was literally David a sling shot.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
He's gonna have to shoot over Jordan Schultz and he's
gonna make something here. Got no reach that work inside.
But now when I walk into Starbucks, it's different. I
walk in and I'm on guard, like if anybody's behind me,
what's going on. I don't want someone to woke up
to me and go, hey, I don't like what you said.
On the radio last night and then all of a
suddenly we get into it. Now, I'm not having that. Man,

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Jason and Mike lif from the tirec dot Com studios
And you know, we talked earlier in the show Look
the biggest story of the day the death of Gene
Hackman at the age of ninety five, and we talked
about the controversy surrounding his death a few minutes ago.
But to get into a different direction on this, because
there's a couple of things that stand out when you
know Gene Hackman, who died today and he hadn't acted
(18:54):
in twenty years. This is a guy that retired from
acting in two thousand and four, and obviously there's a
lot of talk about Hoosiers, you know, it's it's everybody's
got that in their list of top five favorite sports
movies of all time. And Hackman when he made the movie,
I read It's amazing, he didn't think it was gonna
be any good, Like he thought, hey, you know some
(19:15):
people Indian Animal go see it, but you know, no
one's gonna see this thing. And then because he apparently
he didn't have a great feel that the movie was
going to be really good, and the filmmaker said, no, no,
it's fine. We got all this stuff. We're gonna do
all great great so they shot it and then they
brought him back for the screening, and supposedly after he
watched it, he looked at the director said, how did
(19:35):
you guys do that? Like, how did you turn this
into it amazing? He just didn't feel it at the time,
which is weird for a movie. When you think of
why some movies are great and some movies aren't, you
want to think that everybody kind of knows where they're on.
In the set of a great movie with a great
director or a great actor, or actress and they're giving
a great performance and the story is great. Hey, this
movie's gonna be really good. But when you do something
creative for a living, you don't always get that right,
(19:57):
you know, you don't always get that feel you always
get that feeling.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
And and still you know, here I am.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I've been doing radio now for twenty years, and and
certain takes, we have certain ideas to go out on
social media. I think, oh, this is gonna be big
and everybody's gonna like this one, and there's gonna be
a lot of attention to it. And I go, boy,
how come that didn't didn't didn't gain any traction? And
then something that will do that, I thought, hey, I
thought that was okay.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
How we did it?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Like the our Wemby take from last week that had
two million views, And I'm like, that's insane. I thought
our Wemby take was good.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I didn't think it was gonna happen. But just the
you don't know how people are gonna receive things that
are done creatively. And you know, Hackman does the movie
and doesn't get that it's gonna be a big deal.
How are you gonna do this? And then sees the
finished product, and now everybody has seen Hoosiers. Everybody's got
it in their top five the greatest basketball movie ever.
And clearly it's a movie I've seen of all of
(20:48):
Gene Hackman's movies, I mean clearly, I've seen Hoosiers fifty times,
one hundred times, maybe that many, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, I hadn't watched it in a while.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
And today, you know, I had some time as it was,
you know, working at the house and doing some stuff.
Kids are out and doing their thing. Is all right,
I'll go and i'll stream it. Well, it's not available
for free, so hit my rental and away we go.
There's my four bucks.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
You think it was free up until this, Oh he died.
Let's let's put it. Let's put it on there, and
let's make people pay for it. People are gonna want it.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
You never can tell.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
I didn't do the deep dive on it, but I
checked all of the hundred streaming services.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
That I subscribed to, and it wasn't available on none
of them.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
So eventually him, the Biden and I got to feel
you know, look, I'm appreciating Hackman's performance.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Obviously, Hopper and and you look at what.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Barbara Hershey brings to it, all of it, and part
of me is like I could see where Hackman didn't
necessarily love it, seemed to see as you go. But
piece it together, it does tug, you know it and
a million different you know commonalities that we have in
our respective personal lives. Their interaction with sport right and
Barbara Hershey's character. I don't know about this basketball thing.
(22:00):
Jimmy Alue, she was Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
She was a one woman n I elba Hey, Gene Hackman,
you get to her and you'll get Jimmy Chitpwood.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
And he got to her, and Jimmy chip Wood starts packing. Okay,
lady didn't do this as something morning and I want
him to tell her at the end of the movie, Hey,
so you know, we're playing for the state championship here.
There's a lot of scouts here.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
He's gonna get that basketball scholarship you said was never
gonna happen for him.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
That's why he didn't want him to play. Earlier in
the film. Yeah, he's waiting to get out of the town.
He didn't get the I hate to say I told
you so.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah he did. But he did what did she say?
The only thing that comes through here is is the train.
The only thing that comes through is the train. Like
I got your, I got your, I got into the
state championship, and now he's gonna go play in Butler, No, I.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Would say all of it to say on the rewatch,
you know the little one liners that you forgot that
don't get the same yeah, okay attention. And my favorite
was the by the end of the game, I want
to know what flavor.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Gum he's chewing.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah a buddy when he says that
Tony and then he gets back to the bench after
he falls out and he just looks up, doesn't say anything,
just kind of gestures makes the face uh oh, dente dente.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
But like those moments just so great.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
And even though.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Buddy, you don't know how he got back on the team.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
He's a guy that he kicked out of practice, right,
but then the other kid comes back and all of
a sudden, when they're doing their mon time, oh, buddy
got back on the team.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I got guess buddy, Buddy decided.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
There's a whole subplot.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
What was that?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Like one guy as beckon, how about you, Yeah, it
was it a little harder. I mean, what do we
got here? People rose up against him.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
That would have another fun little scene or.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Two to add. Now.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
That was my favorite line, if you want to.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
My favorite line of Hoosiers is when he goes in
for his first practice, right, and he says, does the
whole okay, let's see what kind of hand I've been dealt?
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
And Chelsea Ross, who great, who you know, went from
coaching high school basketball to coaching Notre.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Dame, you know, in Rudy and and you know, ditching
for the Indians. Yeah, he started the wildcard. Yeah, Harris
started the wildcard game.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Uh and uh and and they're sitting there because he
was the coach the year before, and you know, Norman
Dale walks in and Chelsea Ross season he goes, okay,
I figure we started him off with some calisthenics and
then uh a layup line. And then we're going and
and and he just nods his head and says, look,
let's be real friendly here. You know, my name's Norman. Secondly,
your coaching days are over.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I was like, oh, that's my favorite line.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
And he gets really mad and he goes leave the
ball and he gets throws the one balance past that
he catches, Like all right, He's.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Like, hey, let's be real friendly.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I'm in Indiana. It's his assault of the earth people.
Let's be old friendly. My name is norm Secondly, your
coaching days are over so good.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
But like there's those interaction Like the movie as a whole,
there's there's parts are like like we say, like how
does he come back? Like that's actually kind of important,
important figure to what your team's doing. But for Gene Hackman,
I think the thing that came out and I saw
it in so many notices uh and releases that were
put up either on x or or through their public
(25:00):
into larger news organizations. Almost every one of them included
a line more or less saying, never a false note right,
Never that moment where you caught him acting right. Then.
We watched The Bird Kids just the other night. I
sat now with Madeline and we had just watched that,
So the timing whatever, because she goes, oh, he was
(25:20):
so good man, and she wanted to go down the
rabbit hole before this news and had started watching. I
think it was an enemy of the state that she've
been oh yeah, yeah, which is a great, great movie,
you know, and all of that, but just the number
of actors and actresses, directors that just came back through
with the no, no false notes like you never catch him,
(25:42):
like he became whoever the every man was, or the
president or the coach whatever. That it all flows through,
because it's one of the things we talk about a lot,
and we got the Oscars this weekend and they're prepping
la for it is the number of times either Demi
Moore or or insert actor or actress here, it's like, yeah,
you were working really hard on that scene, like we
(26:02):
saw your scene work on the screen and not in
a good way.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yeah, look, I'll give you. It's kind of a hot take.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I think Gene Hackman was probably the most talented actor
in Hollywood that's been in Hollywood, the most talented because
the guy could do everything comedy, drama, hero, bad guy,
anti hero, lead roles, supporting roles. He could do it all,
and he's memorable in every one of his roles. And
(26:30):
not only that, he picked well, I'm going to go
through his his filmography or in a second, he had
about a.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Forty year career in Hollywood. Because he didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
He didn't make it until he was thirty six thirty
seven years old. Right, So he went from the late
sixties and he stopped acting in two thousand and four.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Right. So let's say at a forty year career, if
you're in a forty year.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Career in Hollywood, like I look and go how many
good movies does somebody do in that span? If you
could say this movie was good, and you int not
an average movie, Like if this movie was good, right,
you would say, okay, maybe ten movies and if you
want won every three, you really do something that's fantastic
and not something that.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Is out and it's forgettable.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
But not only is he so memorable in everything he did,
and like I said, he could do everything. I'm gonna
give you the movies that I'm gonna go through here
that are good, not the ones that are average, Not
the ones like Behind Enemy Lines or Heist all you
the ones that were good that you would say, I'll
watch this a few t I watched a couple of times,
and I'll tell you that this is this is why
(27:32):
I say most talented actor we've seen. And look at
the number of good movies he's in It's stunning. Okay,
Runaway Jury, Royal ten and Bounds, Heartbreakers Me and my
favorite teen Hackman lineup of all time when he plays
a guy from Big Tobacco and he's talking about how
they had kids testing the cigarettes, and he goes, yeah,
they didn't like it when we had him in there.
We just we just kept giving it to him enforcement
and pretty soon, Oh, this guy, they couldn't.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Get enough of those cigarettes. Man, They just kept smoking him.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
All right. It's the Heartbreakers, the Mexican, The Replacements, Enemy
of the State, Ants, the Chamber, the Bird Cage, Get Shorty.
That's ten and I'm only at nineteen ninety five, Crimson Tide,
Quick in the Dead, The Firm, Unforgiven, class Action, Postcards
from the Edge, Mississippi Burning. Which movie you saw people
(28:17):
talking about a lot today? He was phenomenal that movie
No Way Out. He was in Hoosiers. I'm already at
twenty and I'm in nineteen eighty six. We're at twenty movies,
twenty good movies that.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
He has done.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Okay, I'll keep going.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Red's Superman and Superman two is Lex Luthor, French Connection,
French Connection two, Young Frankenstein, The conversation, I'm up over
twenty five now Scarecrow, which he says.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Was my favorite movie. I did him and Dustin Hoffman and.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I forgot he was in the Poseidon Inventure that and
then you know, late sixties he was in Downhill Racer
with Redford and I'm up over and Body and Clyde,
I mean Clyde. That's over thirty movies in a forty
year career that were good where you could say, hey, man,
that's a career highlight for me. And like I said,
(29:06):
usually if you're intended, if you're a big star, and
I'm gonna say, like, if you're a big star, if
you're Kate Blanchette, if you are if you are the
Rock or whatever you say, Hey, Okay, I was in
ten really good movies like okay, you're an average one.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
This is thirty.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
This is almost a movie a year he did that
you could say that movie was a big highlight this year,
and Gene Hackman was in it and he was fantastic.
That's the kind of career he had, right, Like everybody
in Hollywood has different strengths, and we talk about titans
of the industry and people who have some kind of
impact on But Gene Hackman, the fact that he could
play any role and he could do it, and it
(29:43):
looks so easy. And as you said, you don't catch
him acting. I never catch him acting right, other people
are in it like I caught you mentioned to me more,
I caught her acting the entire time in the substance
like she was acting the entire time. And but someone
like Gene Hackman who makes it so easy, and he
and he amplifies the movies that he's in. I don't
think it's a coincidence. I don't think he just picked
(30:04):
these scripts. It's Hey, his presence in this movie helped
elevate it to where it went from. Hey, this is
an average movie that's gonna come to the cinnamon and
go to something today. People are going to go back
to this years and years later because he was just
so good in it. That's the kind of career he had,
over thirty good movies in a forty year career.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
Now, the last one is always dismissed, But moose part
is actually a guilty pleasure of mine.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
It's just so silly. Uh, you know he's retired hanging
out with Ray Romano.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yeah, I'm like I thought ray Ramono would have been better.
I thought he would have been funnier in that movie.
Like that's the whole Fan's why I didn't say, well
because Moose Park.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Everybody else carries it.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Wow, ray Ramono's just kind of there.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
In Aransky and rip Torn and everybody carrying him the
other Extreme Measures. If you haven't seen that one, folks,
it's him and Hugo that's in The Evil Doctor, right, yeah, right, Oh,
that's the one. If you had to kill like a
hundred people to cure cancer, wouldn't you have to do that?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Remember that line trailer?
Speaker 5 (31:00):
But like just great other so many other movies that
he was in. It's like, all right, that's not a
big hit, but he's always great. So they're always worth
spinning for an hour and a half to two if
they're streaming and you've got an afternoon to kill.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Time now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. From Monci Milanios Montsie.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
What he got for is at this time, Lebron James
has nineteen points. Lebron James nineteen points in this first half,
the Timbers are trying to make a little bit of
a comeback. Here they've cut their deficit to twelve. LA
is up fifty six forty four with about thirty seconds
to go, and again Lebron James thirteen points.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Zion Williamson recorded his first career triple.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Double today twenty he still plays sometimes sometimes twenty seven points,
ten rebounds, eleven assists and the shorthanded Pelicans meet the Suns.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
You guys, the Suns are knocking.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I think if you asked the average NBA fan tonight,
did Zion Williamson A play or B get a triple double?
They would go option C.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Yeah, he's averaging twenty five a night in the month
of February.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Get after how many games has he played in the
month of February?
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Played nine?
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Played, okay, because he doesn't. I don't think he does
a week and a week was the All Star Bright
and the Okay?
Speaker 7 (32:18):
All right, So I did it? Not too shabby.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Final score I don't think I said it, one twenty
four to one sixteen against the Suns.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
Yeah, Suns have lost. Let me see, out of their
last eight games, they've lost seven. Phoenix is not doing well.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Kyrie every had twenty five points and the Mavericks top
the Hornets won No.
Speaker 7 (32:35):
Three to ninety six.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Nicola Jokic another triple double, that's his norm, but the
Bucks still beat the Nuggets one twenty one to one twelve.
And it was Steph Curry who put on a show
in Orlando fifty six points, twelve threes. Warriors defeated the
Magic one twenty one to one fifteen, Polo Bancaro forty
one points in the loss. In men's college hoops, Number fifteen,
Michigan came back to beat Rutgers eighty four to eighty
(32:57):
two with about six minutes to go in the first half.
Number two, only three Saint Mary's and Loyola Marramount are
tied at fifteen in the NHL two games going on,
the Golden Knights are outscoring the Blackhawks sixty three with
about four minutes to go in the second period and
thirty seconds left in the second period with the Ducks
edging the Canucks three to two. And in case you
missed stid in the NFL, apparently Chiefs tight end Travis
(33:18):
Kelce is.
Speaker 7 (33:19):
Gonna come back and play. In twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
He sent a text to Pat McAfee saying that he
got a real bad taste in his mouth with how
he played in that last game and that he cannot.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
Go out like that. So there you go, Pat McAfee
breaking the news.
Speaker 1 (33:32):

That's great.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Thanks Watsie, Jason and Mike Lot from the tire rag
dot Com Studios.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Coming up next, the.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Biggest NFL story of the week is nearing its conclusion.
We'll tell you how it's gonna end next right here.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon as we celebrate tonight at the beginning
of the NFL Combine. Heay, the biggest story, what is
gonna happen with Matthew Stafford And I gotta admit I'm
kind of ready for something to happen.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Just be We've talked about this for a while.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Sure, the whole.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Matthew Stafford, Yeah, I don't know if I want to play,
And we said, oh, really this is all about money.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Oh no, it's not.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Then Kelly Stafford does a podcast and says, oh, I
love LA, but we love adventure. And then you find out, oh,
Stafford wants fifty million dollars a year for the next year.
Oh so it really was about money.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Oh god, it got it.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
He's been allowed to talk to other teams to try
to gain a better deal. The Giants are a team
that he's been linked with closely. So we've given you
our take on that up until this point. Now we're
gonna tell you how it's gonna end, because it's not.
I don't think it's gonna end. How you believe a
fight in the Starbucks, Yes, it will. It would be
he and Sean McVay will go at it. They will
(35:19):
disagree over whether Tom Brady is wooing him.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Or not that.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
It should. I mean I do like that.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
We went from the sand and surf to get him
to La. Yeah, now we're to the slopes.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yeah hell yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
No, It's just like Jerry maguire will serve for skill
either surf for ski. It doesn't matter whether it be
San Diego, it was Denver or San Diego trading up
to get him, that's what it wants. He's just got
to find one team. Maybe it's the Raiders to give
him two years and seventy five million guarantee, like that's
what he needs. And if that happens, he's gone, right,
he'll go, okay, I got it, I got my money.
(35:55):
The Rams will say, okay, great, we're gonna move on.
And the minute we announce your trade, were announcing the
signing of Sam Darnold or whoever else we're gonna go get. However,
is that really gonna happen? How many teams? How many
contending teams are that close to a Super Bowl where
(36:15):
a thirty seven year old Matthew Stafford's not only gonna
be a difference maker, they're gonna be okay giving him
two years and seventy five million. The only team that's
close is the Steelers. And what did they do last year?
They didn't pay Russell Wilson and Justin Fields anything. No,
they didn't say we're going to get these guys. We're
okay with taking this money. They're not gonna want to
pay Matthew Stafford seventy five million for two years. Yes,
(36:37):
it's great that Brady is trying to woo him, and
I'm sure part of the wooing is take less money.
Come here, We'll give you two years whatever it's gonna be.
Will work to build whatever we can around. Like, at
your discretion, who do you want us to bring in?
You have to be a team that is close to
the super Bowl. That's okay with giving Stafford all that money.
And Stafford's got to be okay saying this is where
(37:00):
I'm gonna go the last two years of my career
rather than stay in la Or, I could compete for
the super Bowl, still make money and I could have
a great ending in the end. It's gonna he's gonna
get really gonna get real sweaty palms. When you got
to make a decision on this, Hey, we want out,
I want money. I want to be respected. Okay, the
Raiders want you.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
Ooh ooh uh.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
When you look at the landscape, there's not many teams.
Does teams want Matthew Stafford? Yeah, but you got to
give him fifty million next year and maybe seventy five
million for two Oh, we don't want to do that.
Of course you don't want to do that. You don't
like the crop of quarterbacks this year, but you're gonna
want one next year. You're gonna want arch Manning if
he decides, hey, I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
To the NFL.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
If the Jets have the number one pick, I'll go
back to college because that's how it'll go. But when
you when you look at all of the things that
come along with getting Matthew Stafford and whatever you have
to trade to give up to get it whatever, Oh,
I don't know that it's worth it. There's not a
lot out there when this ends. This is gonna end
with Stafford not really getting what he wants. He's gonna
go back to the Rams, who will do him a
(38:01):
solid at the end of free agency and say, hey,
we're gonna kick in this extra money for you this year,
because yes, twenty seven, do you play like a fifty
million dollar your quarterback?
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yes you do.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
And I know we've given you a lot of money
and giving you ten million more isn't really something. But
they will do something for him this year, and he'll
wind up going back to the Rams. This is a
guy with a lot of fire, a lot of smoke.
But in the end, is he really gonna pull the trigger?
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Are other teams gonna give him what he wants? There's
not many. If there were many teams out there, I
would say yeah, but there's not enough. He goes back
to the right.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
Look again overthecap dot com. They use the base salary
cap of two seventy nine to two. So they split
the baby, right, because we've been here in two seventy
seven to two eighty one, So we split the baby.
You've got the Patriots effective cap space about one hundred
and twenty million dollars. Now they need to upgrade their plane.
Obviously there's ash trays on their arm rests and other things.
But obviously I make the joke. But they have their quarterback.
(38:53):
That'll be interesting to see who wants to go and
take their money this time around. The Raiders at about
ninety million dollars, so they certainly have the cash to it.
And then you get into a very large number of
squads that have their quarterback and the only one you
get to the Vikings. They've got sixty million in cap space.
You've got McCarthy, and you have whatever your option is
(39:14):
of what you're going to do. With Sam Darnold. You
get to the Steelers with over fifty six million, and
then you get to the Titans and it just drips
all the way down. So you get to the Giants
and well the Rams at forty one million dollars. So
I think when it's all said and done, unless he's
just looking for a paycheck and a change of venue
to feel loved again, not that he didn't get it here,
(39:37):
and you're going to be muted by the Dodgers winning
a title and Luka doncis coming in, so that Kelly
Stafford just needs to calm down there.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
But in terms of you need to calm down. But
what do you want to be?
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Do you want a guy that's just collected a paycheck
at this point or do you want to win? There's
no winning teams And are the Steelers a winning team? No,
they're a five hundred team.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
That's it. In a division you're not.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
And they're not going to give that money. They're not
going to pay that money to a quarter That's the
whole thing is that. Yeah, if they could get them, sure,
but they want to go shopping in the bargain basement
all the time.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
We like quarterbacks, but don't want to pay him anything,
even though they've still spent a ton of money, Like
they're in the middle of of available cap space. So
you know, I think it's the come to Jesus moments, Like,
all right, someone may be willing to give you us
a bunch of stuff for you, but do you want
to just go be a jag?
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (40:27):
Well you could they if they made the trade. Oh no, Lawrence,
I forgot about that, the Lawrence trade. This this will
end a lot of smoke, a lot of fun, but
he'll end up with the Rams again. Coming up next,
speaking of the combine, do we have something to tell
you about what a guy who really wants to go
number one overall?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Just said?

girl dad night at the Laker game tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Is that right? And uh?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
The Lakers showing everybody how it's done. They have raced
out to a twenty seven to thirteen lead over the Timberwolves.
Luka Doncic has just come out of the game eleven points,
five rebounds, and four assists in the first nine minutes.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Is that good? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Usually the Knicks stake their whole bench to play the
entire game. To get those numbers in total, I'd take
the under eleven bench and four you.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Have Mitchell Robinson's coming back maybe this weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
So okay, that's gonna be tough because the rebound does
give you that six guy. Yeah, Lebron's got eight and
three rebounds. Look, it's it's it's shanngri Law right now.
It's sunshine, lollipops and rainbows for the Lakers. Lebron is
is rejuvenated, Luca is happy. They're running up and down
the floor, throwing baseball passes to each other, They're laughing
(01:49):
and dunking.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I mean, everything is coming up Lakers right now.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Man.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I told you with this.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Trade game, they were gonna finish second in the Western
Conference and they're gonna score one hundred and thirty points
a game. And now they're defense when they need to
play defense the way they can.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It works.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Lebron doesn't have to carry the offense like he used to.
He can pick his spots and carry, you know, for
a six to seven minute stretching the second quarter, in
the fourth quarter. Like, everything is coming up Lakers right now.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Well, one of the things we've talked about a bunch
with this and where we get a little bit of noise,
but the reality of the defensive metrics is going to
happen tonight and we're watching it already. Is that the
pressure that they put on you because of the offensive
attack and some of them simplification of what they've done. Right,
here's lob Pass's turn score done and opening up the
(02:35):
shooters as Luca and and Lebron will do, is that
opponents start making it a three point shooting contest. Seventeen
attempts so far for the te Wolves, thirteen of them
are three points.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Come on, what are we doing? How else are you
supposed to the side and now you're down.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But now you're down fourteen. You got no choice. If
there was a four point play, they'd be shooting it.
Rock and Jock the.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Giant Target, Jason Smith Mike Harmon will have more on
the update Lakers and the Wolves again twenty nine thirteen. Now,
I'll tell you, man, this is this has got to
be something rest the NBA has got to get used to.
This is how the Lakers are gonna come out of
the gate like this every single night. Man, It's really something.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Luca turns twenty six tomorrow. Yeah yeah, Man's birthday.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Yeah yeah. Do you think the postgame celebration is though,
Oh it is? It beer and hookah, That's what it's
gonna be. So like, if they really beat the hell
out of this squad tonight, it's before the Clippers games
that they've got over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Go go gre Jason.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's hookah.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
It's Luca, not hook It's Luca with a hookah in
one hand and a beer in the other hand and
his dad next to him. And then somehow they're all
flipping off Michael Finley and and well yeah, Nico Harrison, okay, sure, yeah, yeah,
I missed it.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Did they have any more stories that they decided to
leak to disparage if did they go down to that
Starbucks and say, hey, stop fighting, here's something you both
can talk about.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I would like to, you know, maybe that's a thing
where in the off season, like remember the videos that
came out like a bunch a bunch of years ago,
like in the early two thousands of the backyard wrestling
videos or the living the living room wrestling videos where
people would just put like like uh like sheets over
different things in the living room and they would fight.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
People would just fight.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I was a little nervous, like going behind the beaded curtain.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I remember seeing videos like of people are here. My
living room is big, and I've put sheets over all
the all the furniture, and we're just gonna fight. People
who have beef are gonna fight. Like I can see
that at Starbucks. Hey, we're gonna cover the glass. We're
gonna have the you know, cover the coffee machines. The
Maurisas are gonna stand on the side, and you're gonna
have to come in and fight like you're Jordan Cheltenean
Rappa Pols.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You have Huey Lewis playing in the background. We'll have
a house band.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
So we get between Fight Club and American Psycho somewhere.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, yeah, it was h That was a whole other series.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I remember I had one of those videos and it
was it was two women who were fighting in a
house and they were just it was I remember her,
just yell. I've been waiting for this for so long
since you blankety blankety blank, my husband and all.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Them going on. Actually, Jerry, Jerry the Oll.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Came running in. Uh yeah, so maybe we do that
at Starbucks.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Now why not?
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I mean that one had an open floor plan, because
you're just like if you're in an airport terminal and
stuff you.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
No no no space.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
And I don't and I don't mean you just close
it down. I mean you still serve business while peop
will fight in the Starbucks.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Absolutely, yeah, you're you're really close to the capitalism has
to keep churning.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Hotter rice, hot please, okay, whip cream? No, okay, great
size please talk at Okay, that's great.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
You're not helping me with the ice drink, though I
need the hot drink. Just think because you might have
to turn right. You're in a precarious situation.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
What do you want?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
You want to go to the eyes? You know, I
went to.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Starbucks today and I got to say this because now
you know, I get a coffee drink almost every every day.
I drink half of it in the day and half
of it at night kind of how I do it, and
I go it and and the only size of all
the changes Starbucks says they have, the only size I
have up for you is Grande.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
So I've been getting Grande drinks Runde and I'm and then.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I see the tall cups and I go, oh, I'm
gonna get that, but I'm gonna get a tall.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
They no longer put Tall, at least the Starbucks that
I go to and in my neighborhoods as an option,
because I think they want you to think Grande is
the one you have to get, so it's and it's
bigger and it's more money. So like they don't have
that option. It's just here's the drinks and it says
Grande this, and sometimes you can get an extra large
on the other side. But you can still get tall.
I just have to ask for I said, oh, wow,
(06:39):
that's that's that's that's guy. I don't know how I
feel about that. I'm like, I get that you want to,
you know, with with with with having some kind of
capital and being able to make money, but boy, you
should really say all the sizes you have, because I
bet you they think we lose money if someone comes
in and sees it tall, they're going to order a
tall for four and a half dollars instead of the
(07:00):
for six and a half dollars, And that's two dollars
we don't get right, so you can still get it.
They just don't have it on the sign.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
That's interesting.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
How about that I don't get any value from any
of those places because I drink too much coffee. Yeah,
so I don't. I don't see the point. Yeah for me,
like I get the pods and I make my own
at home.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
But and you know, it's fun tonight saying inside the
NBA talking about the Jordan Chlza and Rappaport fight when
they opened the show tonight, and Charles is saying, you know,
and I went to Starbucks and Kenny says, you gotta
go there for a two dollars coffee And I'm going
someone who's never been to Starbucks?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Did you get coffee for two dollars? And Starbucks?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
What Starbucks? You knowing to here?
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Man?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Come on Starbucks for two dollars, two dollars if they
had throwback Day, so hey, this is our first prices
back in nine to Yeah, okay maybe then, but you
do not get anything for two dollars at Starbucks.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
You're not getting that for I don't know that it's
two bucks.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
At McDonald's, I'm just glad I can still get a
puppuccino for Benny and they do it for free.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Take care of you there. Yeah, you get a peppaccino.
You gave a puppuccino.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
They give you a little cup with cream with RiPP
cream in it for your dog and they call it
a puppa I.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Really think he actually has the cat the whip cream himself.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
No, no, no, I don't know my dog.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No, it's PhD. I haven't been doing doing whip cream.
But Ben, No, Betty loves the whip cream. And you
give you puppaccino. You go and say, I get a
little pppaccino. They give you a little tiny cup like
a water cup and they fill it with Is that
all animals?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
No, it's not the.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Animals like Benny loves it. Are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
So they can have it.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
They're not giving you stuff if it's going to be
bad for the dog. You imagine the lawsuits going horrible.
Whiped cream for a dog is absolutely.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Horrible's agreeing with you? Then that's a hack. She's found.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yes, yes, Dexter, you still love that the killer? The
killer or my dog that is no longer around?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh okay, they used to kill people.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
On TV after that, but what well hold on? The
show was popular at the time, and then our old
family dog was Rex. So I was like, oh, if
we call him Dexter, we call him dex, which we
never did, so he was just exert. He didn't like
dex Like it was either going to be Blake Griffin
or Dexter.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
And what if you adn't know Blake Griffin, he'd be
getting hurt all.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
The time he was getting hurt. He should have been
Blake Griffin. Okay, he absolutely should have. But did you
did you experience when they went from the like water
cup to the tiny little cup?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I was like, that's okay because it's a lot that
there's a lot of few shouldn't do it all the
time for dogs, but giving it a treat once in
a while, I'm okay with getting the small one.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
But my dog was a big one.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
He was like ninety pounds, so I was like, can
we give him a regular one, not the tiny tiny one.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
That's when you got to go through McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Just get him one of those ice creams and go
here you go, and then two bites he finishes it.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Who said, I didn't you got whatever you want?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Whatever you wanted, Okay, he asked for the ariana.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
They give you the small one.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh, well, yeah, yeah, okay, all right, you didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
No, I did not know that. I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I didn't even have to say ronde.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
No, I didn't know that. Still defying gravity. Uh so
I began just a weird thing. Don't put that, don't
put tall up there. Just think about that for a second.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Are we gonna do a full expos a on this
road trip?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Smith blows the lid off of your Starbucks axe.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
How you do it?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
You could get a puppuccino, eat it yourself for free,
and get a tall drink.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
For the same pricepcino. Man, what are you doing? You
did aina? He did reference to whip cream bikini last.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Drink? Is that? How you? Bennie?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Benny is one of those dogs that when he gets
the cup and just kind of sticks to his face
because he like just you know, he just like sucks
it like you know, you know, when you're a kid
and you get the plastic cup and you put it
on your mouth and go and you just see how
long can stick there?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Like that? That's what Benny does. I mean, I can
still do that, I think, but I don't do that anymore.
I don't believe you.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
No, I don't do it.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
No, that's not something that I think you're gonna Zoey.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
No, Joey, Okay, wake her up.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I probably did that when Zoe was was a baby,
but I don't do that anymore, Popper Dog. I can't
do that for Benny. Benny is fine. Benny is healthy
and happy.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
He yes, he is. He's so happy you're.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Giving him whip cream. I don't think he's doing that.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I brought him into Starbucks. He has not gotten into
one fight. He is absolutely fine. He's he doesn't fight
with other dog over anything involving Matthew Stafford or Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
He is, he is.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
It's not somebody did a tail of the tape on
that today and it was Jordan Schultz five nine, two fifteen.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It was literally David a sling shot.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
He's gonna have to shoot over Jordan Schultz and he's
gonna make something here. Got no reach that work inside.
But now when I walk into Starbucks, it's different. I
walk in and I'm on guard, like if anybody's behind me,
what's going on. I don't want someone to woke up
to me and go, hey, I don't like what you said.
On the radio last night and then all of a
suddenly we get into it. Now, I'm not having that. Man,

he just has the cup on his face and then
I take it away from it. I don't get let
him sit there and know, Okay, good now breathe. No,
he's gonna get every bit of that.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
He's just getting all its just like a dog and
will let animal Services decide, just like.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Any dog that gets all the way down to the
bottom whatever he is eating.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
That's what my dog day.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
He used to joke about child Services being called on
me all the time.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Now, how does the shoot field?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Bell? Well?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Small and ah, you kid, Betty's got a great life.
He has no idea how great he's got it. He
has no idea.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Jason and Mike lif from the tirec dot Com studios
And you know, we talked earlier in the show Look
the biggest story of the day the death of Gene
Hackman at the age of ninety five, and we talked
about the controversy surrounding his death a few minutes ago.
But to get into a different direction on this, because
there's a couple of things that stand out when you
know Gene Hackman, who died today and he hadn't acted
(18:54):
in twenty years. This is a guy that retired from
acting in two thousand and four, and obviously there's a
lot of talk about Hoosiers, you know, it's it's everybody's
got that in their list of top five favorite sports
movies of all time. And Hackman when he made the movie,
I read It's amazing, he didn't think it was gonna
be any good, Like he thought, hey, you know some
(19:15):
people Indian Animal go see it, but you know, no
one's gonna see this thing. And then because he apparently
he didn't have a great feel that the movie was
going to be really good, and the filmmaker said, no, no,
it's fine. We got all this stuff. We're gonna do
all great great so they shot it and then they
brought him back for the screening, and supposedly after he
watched it, he looked at the director said, how did
(19:35):
you guys do that? Like, how did you turn this
into it amazing? He just didn't feel it at the time,
which is weird for a movie. When you think of
why some movies are great and some movies aren't, you
want to think that everybody kind of knows where they're on.
In the set of a great movie with a great
director or a great actor, or actress and they're giving
a great performance and the story is great. Hey, this
movie's gonna be really good. But when you do something
creative for a living, you don't always get that right,
(19:57):
you know, you don't always get that feel you always
get that feeling.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
And and still you know, here I am.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I've been doing radio now for twenty years, and and
certain takes, we have certain ideas to go out on
social media. I think, oh, this is gonna be big
and everybody's gonna like this one, and there's gonna be
a lot of attention to it. And I go, boy,
how come that didn't didn't didn't gain any traction? And
then something that will do that, I thought, hey, I
thought that was okay.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
How we did it?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Like the our Wemby take from last week that had
two million views, And I'm like, that's insane. I thought
our Wemby take was good.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I didn't think it was gonna happen. But just the
you don't know how people are gonna receive things that
are done creatively. And you know, Hackman does the movie
and doesn't get that it's gonna be a big deal.
How are you gonna do this? And then sees the
finished product, and now everybody has seen Hoosiers. Everybody's got
it in their top five the greatest basketball movie ever.
And clearly it's a movie I've seen of all of
(20:48):
Gene Hackman's movies, I mean clearly, I've seen Hoosiers fifty times,
one hundred times, maybe that many, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, I hadn't watched it in a while.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
And today, you know, I had some time as it was,
you know, working at the house and doing some stuff.
Kids are out and doing their thing. Is all right,
I'll go and i'll stream it. Well, it's not available
for free, so hit my rental and away we go.
There's my four bucks.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
You think it was free up until this, Oh he died.
Let's let's put it. Let's put it on there, and
let's make people pay for it. People are gonna want it.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
You never can tell.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
I didn't do the deep dive on it, but I
checked all of the hundred streaming services.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
That I subscribed to, and it wasn't available on none
of them.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
So eventually him, the Biden and I got to feel
you know, look, I'm appreciating Hackman's performance.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Obviously, Hopper and and you look at what.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Barbara Hershey brings to it, all of it, and part
of me is like I could see where Hackman didn't
necessarily love it, seemed to see as you go. But
piece it together, it does tug, you know it and
a million different you know commonalities that we have in
our respective personal lives. Their interaction with sport right and
Barbara Hershey's character. I don't know about this basketball thing.
(22:00):
Jimmy Alue, she was Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
She was a one woman n I elba Hey, Gene Hackman,
you get to her and you'll get Jimmy Chitpwood.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
And he got to her, and Jimmy chip Wood starts packing. Okay,
lady didn't do this as something morning and I want
him to tell her at the end of the movie, Hey,
so you know, we're playing for the state championship here.
There's a lot of scouts here.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
He's gonna get that basketball scholarship you said was never
gonna happen for him.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
That's why he didn't want him to play. Earlier in
the film. Yeah, he's waiting to get out of the town.
He didn't get the I hate to say I told
you so.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah he did. But he did what did she say?
The only thing that comes through here is is the train.
The only thing that comes through is the train. Like
I got your, I got your, I got into the
state championship, and now he's gonna go play in Butler, No, I.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Would say all of it to say on the rewatch,
you know the little one liners that you forgot that
don't get the same yeah, okay attention. And my favorite
was the by the end of the game, I want
to know what flavor.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Gum he's chewing.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah a buddy when he says that
Tony and then he gets back to the bench after
he falls out and he just looks up, doesn't say anything,
just kind of gestures makes the face uh oh, dente dente.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
But like those moments just so great.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
And even though.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Buddy, you don't know how he got back on the team.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
He's a guy that he kicked out of practice, right,
but then the other kid comes back and all of
a sudden, when they're doing their mon time, oh, buddy
got back on the team.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I got guess buddy, Buddy decided.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
There's a whole subplot.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
What was that?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Like one guy as beckon, how about you, Yeah, it
was it a little harder. I mean, what do we
got here? People rose up against him.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
That would have another fun little scene or.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Two to add. Now.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
That was my favorite line, if you want to.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
My favorite line of Hoosiers is when he goes in
for his first practice, right, and he says, does the
whole okay, let's see what kind of hand I've been dealt?
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
And Chelsea Ross, who great, who you know, went from
coaching high school basketball to coaching Notre.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Dame, you know, in Rudy and and you know, ditching
for the Indians. Yeah, he started the wildcard. Yeah, Harris
started the wildcard game.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Uh and uh and and they're sitting there because he
was the coach the year before, and you know, Norman
Dale walks in and Chelsea Ross season he goes, okay,
I figure we started him off with some calisthenics and
then uh a layup line. And then we're going and
and and he just nods his head and says, look,
let's be real friendly here. You know, my name's Norman. Secondly,
your coaching days are over.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I was like, oh, that's my favorite line.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
And he gets really mad and he goes leave the
ball and he gets throws the one balance past that
he catches, Like all right, He's.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Like, hey, let's be real friendly.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I'm in Indiana. It's his assault of the earth people.
Let's be old friendly. My name is norm Secondly, your
coaching days are over so good.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
But like there's those interaction Like the movie as a whole,
there's there's parts are like like we say, like how
does he come back? Like that's actually kind of important,
important figure to what your team's doing. But for Gene Hackman,
I think the thing that came out and I saw
it in so many notices uh and releases that were
put up either on x or or through their public
(25:00):
into larger news organizations. Almost every one of them included
a line more or less saying, never a false note right,
Never that moment where you caught him acting right. Then.
We watched The Bird Kids just the other night. I
sat now with Madeline and we had just watched that,
So the timing whatever, because she goes, oh, he was
(25:20):
so good man, and she wanted to go down the
rabbit hole before this news and had started watching. I
think it was an enemy of the state that she've
been oh yeah, yeah, which is a great, great movie,
you know, and all of that, but just the number
of actors and actresses, directors that just came back through
with the no, no false notes like you never catch him,
(25:42):
like he became whoever the every man was, or the
president or the coach whatever. That it all flows through,
because it's one of the things we talk about a lot,
and we got the Oscars this weekend and they're prepping
la for it is the number of times either Demi
Moore or or insert actor or actress here, it's like, yeah,
you were working really hard on that scene, like we
(26:02):
saw your scene work on the screen and not in
a good way.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yeah, look, I'll give you. It's kind of a hot take.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I think Gene Hackman was probably the most talented actor
in Hollywood that's been in Hollywood, the most talented because
the guy could do everything comedy, drama, hero, bad guy,
anti hero, lead roles, supporting roles. He could do it all,
and he's memorable in every one of his roles. And
(26:30):
not only that, he picked well, I'm going to go
through his his filmography or in a second, he had
about a.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Forty year career in Hollywood. Because he didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
He didn't make it until he was thirty six thirty
seven years old. Right, So he went from the late
sixties and he stopped acting in two thousand and four.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Right. So let's say at a forty year career, if
you're in a forty year.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Career in Hollywood, like I look and go how many
good movies does somebody do in that span? If you
could say this movie was good, and you int not
an average movie, Like if this movie was good, right,
you would say, okay, maybe ten movies and if you
want won every three, you really do something that's fantastic
and not something that.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Is out and it's forgettable.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
But not only is he so memorable in everything he did,
and like I said, he could do everything. I'm gonna
give you the movies that I'm gonna go through here
that are good, not the ones that are average, Not
the ones like Behind Enemy Lines or Heist all you
the ones that were good that you would say, I'll
watch this a few t I watched a couple of times,
and I'll tell you that this is this is why
(27:32):
I say most talented actor we've seen. And look at
the number of good movies he's in It's stunning. Okay,
Runaway Jury, Royal ten and Bounds, Heartbreakers Me and my
favorite teen Hackman lineup of all time when he plays
a guy from Big Tobacco and he's talking about how
they had kids testing the cigarettes, and he goes, yeah,
they didn't like it when we had him in there.
We just we just kept giving it to him enforcement
and pretty soon, Oh, this guy, they couldn't.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Get enough of those cigarettes. Man, They just kept smoking him.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
All right. It's the Heartbreakers, the Mexican, The Replacements, Enemy
of the State, Ants, the Chamber, the Bird Cage, Get Shorty.
That's ten and I'm only at nineteen ninety five, Crimson Tide,
Quick in the Dead, The Firm, Unforgiven, class Action, Postcards
from the Edge, Mississippi Burning. Which movie you saw people
(28:17):
talking about a lot today? He was phenomenal that movie
No Way Out. He was in Hoosiers. I'm already at
twenty and I'm in nineteen eighty six. We're at twenty movies,
twenty good movies that.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
He has done.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Okay, I'll keep going.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Red's Superman and Superman two is Lex Luthor, French Connection,
French Connection two, Young Frankenstein, The conversation, I'm up over
twenty five now Scarecrow, which he says.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Was my favorite movie. I did him and Dustin Hoffman and.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I forgot he was in the Poseidon Inventure that and
then you know, late sixties he was in Downhill Racer
with Redford and I'm up over and Body and Clyde,
I mean Clyde. That's over thirty movies in a forty
year career that were good where you could say, hey, man,
that's a career highlight for me. And like I said,
(29:06):
usually if you're intended, if you're a big star, and
I'm gonna say, like, if you're a big star, if
you're Kate Blanchette, if you are if you are the
Rock or whatever you say, Hey, Okay, I was in
ten really good movies like okay, you're an average one.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
This is thirty.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
This is almost a movie a year he did that
you could say that movie was a big highlight this year,
and Gene Hackman was in it and he was fantastic.
That's the kind of career he had, right, Like everybody
in Hollywood has different strengths, and we talk about titans
of the industry and people who have some kind of
impact on But Gene Hackman, the fact that he could
play any role and he could do it, and it
(29:43):
looks so easy. And as you said, you don't catch
him acting. I never catch him acting right, other people
are in it like I caught you mentioned to me more,
I caught her acting the entire time in the substance
like she was acting the entire time. And but someone
like Gene Hackman who makes it so easy, and he
and he amplifies the movies that he's in. I don't
think it's a coincidence. I don't think he just picked
(30:04):
these scripts. It's Hey, his presence in this movie helped
elevate it to where it went from. Hey, this is
an average movie that's gonna come to the cinnamon and
go to something today. People are going to go back
to this years and years later because he was just
so good in it. That's the kind of career he had,
over thirty good movies in a forty year career.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
Now, the last one is always dismissed, But moose part
is actually a guilty pleasure of mine.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
It's just so silly. Uh, you know he's retired hanging
out with Ray Romano.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yeah, I'm like I thought ray Ramono would have been better.
I thought he would have been funnier in that movie.
Like that's the whole Fan's why I didn't say, well
because Moose Park.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Everybody else carries it.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Wow, ray Ramono's just kind of there.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
In Aransky and rip Torn and everybody carrying him the
other Extreme Measures. If you haven't seen that one, folks,
it's him and Hugo that's in The Evil Doctor, right, yeah, right, Oh,
that's the one. If you had to kill like a
hundred people to cure cancer, wouldn't you have to do that?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Remember that line trailer?
Speaker 5 (31:00):
But like just great other so many other movies that
he was in. It's like, all right, that's not a
big hit, but he's always great. So they're always worth
spinning for an hour and a half to two if
they're streaming and you've got an afternoon to kill.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Time now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. From Monci Milanios Montsie.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
What he got for is at this time, Lebron James
has nineteen points. Lebron James nineteen points in this first half,
the Timbers are trying to make a little bit of
a comeback. Here they've cut their deficit to twelve. LA
is up fifty six forty four with about thirty seconds
to go, and again Lebron James thirteen points.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Zion Williamson recorded his first career triple.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Double today twenty he still plays sometimes sometimes twenty seven points,
ten rebounds, eleven assists and the shorthanded Pelicans meet the Suns.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
You guys, the Suns are knocking.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I think if you asked the average NBA fan tonight,
did Zion Williamson A play or B get a triple double?
They would go option C.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Yeah, he's averaging twenty five a night in the month
of February.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Get after how many games has he played in the
month of February?
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Played nine?
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Played, okay, because he doesn't. I don't think he does
a week and a week was the All Star Bright
and the Okay?
Speaker 7 (32:18):
All right, So I did it? Not too shabby.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Final score I don't think I said it, one twenty
four to one sixteen against the Suns.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
Yeah, Suns have lost. Let me see, out of their
last eight games, they've lost seven. Phoenix is not doing well.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Kyrie every had twenty five points and the Mavericks top
the Hornets won No.
Speaker 7 (32:35):
Three to ninety six.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Nicola Jokic another triple double, that's his norm, but the
Bucks still beat the Nuggets one twenty one to one twelve.
And it was Steph Curry who put on a show
in Orlando fifty six points, twelve threes. Warriors defeated the
Magic one twenty one to one fifteen, Polo Bancaro forty
one points in the loss. In men's college hoops, Number fifteen,
Michigan came back to beat Rutgers eighty four to eighty
(32:57):
two with about six minutes to go in the first half.
Number two, only three Saint Mary's and Loyola Marramount are
tied at fifteen in the NHL two games going on,
the Golden Knights are outscoring the Blackhawks sixty three with
about four minutes to go in the second period and
thirty seconds left in the second period with the Ducks
edging the Canucks three to two. And in case you

Kelce is.
Speaker 7 (33:19):
Gonna come back and play. In twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
He sent a text to Pat McAfee saying that he
got a real bad taste in his mouth with how
he played in that last game and that he cannot.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
Go out like that. So there you go, Pat McAfee

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Thanks Watsie, Jason and Mike Lot from the tire rag
dot Com Studios.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Coming up next, the.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Biggest NFL story of the week is nearing its conclusion.
We'll tell you how it's gonna end next right here.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon as we celebrate tonight at the beginning
of the NFL Combine. Heay, the biggest story, what is
gonna happen with Matthew Stafford And I gotta admit I'm
kind of ready for something to happen.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Just be We've talked about this for a while.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Sure, the whole.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Matthew Stafford, Yeah, I don't know if I want to play,
And we said, oh, really this is all about money.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Oh no, it's not.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Then Kelly Stafford does a podcast and says, oh, I
love LA, but we love adventure. And then you find out, oh,
Stafford wants fifty million dollars a year for the next year.
Oh so it really was about money.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Oh god, it got it.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
He's been allowed to talk to other teams to try
to gain a better deal. The Giants are a team
that he's been linked with closely. So we've given you
our take on that up until this point. Now we're
gonna tell you how it's gonna end, because it's not.
I don't think it's gonna end. How you believe a
fight in the Starbucks, Yes, it will. It would be
he and Sean McVay will go at it. They will
(35:19):
disagree over whether Tom Brady is wooing him.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Or not that.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
It should. I mean I do like that.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
We went from the sand and surf to get him
to La. Yeah, now we're to the slopes.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yeah hell yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
No, It's just like Jerry maguire will serve for skill
either surf for ski. It doesn't matter whether it be
San Diego, it was Denver or San Diego trading up
to get him, that's what it wants. He's just got
to find one team. Maybe it's the Raiders to give
him two years and seventy five million guarantee, like that's
what he needs. And if that happens, he's gone, right,
he'll go, okay, I got it, I got my money.
(35:55):
The Rams will say, okay, great, we're gonna move on.
And the minute we announce your trade, were announcing the
signing of Sam Darnold or whoever else we're gonna go get. However,
is that really gonna happen? How many teams? How many
contending teams are that close to a Super Bowl where
(36:15):
a thirty seven year old Matthew Stafford's not only gonna
be a difference maker, they're gonna be okay giving him
two years and seventy five million. The only team that's
close is the Steelers. And what did they do last year?
They didn't pay Russell Wilson and Justin Fields anything. No,
they didn't say we're going to get these guys. We're
okay with taking this money. They're not gonna want to
pay Matthew Stafford seventy five million for two years. Yes,
(36:37):
it's great that Brady is trying to woo him, and
I'm sure part of the wooing is take less money.
Come here, We'll give you two years whatever it's gonna be.
Will work to build whatever we can around. Like, at
your discretion, who do you want us to bring in?
You have to be a team that is close to
the super Bowl. That's okay with giving Stafford all that money.
And Stafford's got to be okay saying this is where
(37:00):
I'm gonna go the last two years of my career
rather than stay in la Or, I could compete for
the super Bowl, still make money and I could have
a great ending in the end. It's gonna he's gonna
get really gonna get real sweaty palms. When you got
to make a decision on this, Hey, we want out,
I want money. I want to be respected. Okay, the
Raiders want you.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
Ooh ooh uh.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
When you look at the landscape, there's not many teams.
Does teams want Matthew Stafford? Yeah, but you got to
give him fifty million next year and maybe seventy five
million for two Oh, we don't want to do that.
Of course you don't want to do that. You don't
like the crop of quarterbacks this year, but you're gonna
want one next year. You're gonna want arch Manning if
he decides, hey, I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
To the NFL.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
If the Jets have the number one pick, I'll go
back to college because that's how it'll go. But when
you when you look at all of the things that
come along with getting Matthew Stafford and whatever you have
to trade to give up to get it whatever, Oh,
I don't know that it's worth it. There's not a
lot out there when this ends. This is gonna end
with Stafford not really getting what he wants. He's gonna
go back to the Rams, who will do him a
(38:01):
solid at the end of free agency and say, hey,
we're gonna kick in this extra money for you this year,
because yes, twenty seven, do you play like a fifty
million dollar your quarterback?
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yes you do.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
And I know we've given you a lot of money
and giving you ten million more isn't really something. But
they will do something for him this year, and he'll
wind up going back to the Rams. This is a
guy with a lot of fire, a lot of smoke.
But in the end, is he really gonna pull the trigger?
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Are other teams gonna give him what he wants? There's
not many. If there were many teams out there, I
would say yeah, but there's not enough. He goes back
to the right.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
Look again overthecap dot com. They use the base salary
cap of two seventy nine to two. So they split
the baby, right, because we've been here in two seventy
seven to two eighty one, So we split the baby.
You've got the Patriots effective cap space about one hundred
and twenty million dollars. Now they need to upgrade their plane.
Obviously there's ash trays on their arm rests and other things.
But obviously I make the joke. But they have their quarterback.
(38:53):
That'll be interesting to see who wants to go and
take their money this time around. The Raiders at about
ninety million dollars, so they certainly have the cash to it.
And then you get into a very large number of
squads that have their quarterback and the only one you
get to the Vikings. They've got sixty million in cap space.
You've got McCarthy, and you have whatever your option is
(39:14):
of what you're going to do. With Sam Darnold. You
get to the Steelers with over fifty six million, and
then you get to the Titans and it just drips
all the way down. So you get to the Giants
and well the Rams at forty one million dollars. So
I think when it's all said and done, unless he's
just looking for a paycheck and a change of venue
to feel loved again, not that he didn't get it here,
(39:37):
and you're going to be muted by the Dodgers winning
a title and Luka doncis coming in, so that Kelly
Stafford just needs to calm down there.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
But in terms of you need to calm down. But
what do you want to be?
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Do you want a guy that's just collected a paycheck
at this point or do you want to win? There's
no winning teams And are the Steelers a winning team? No,
they're a five hundred team.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
That's it. In a division you're not.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
And they're not going to give that money. They're not
going to pay that money to a quarter That's the
whole thing is that. Yeah, if they could get them, sure,
but they want to go shopping in the bargain basement
all the time.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
We like quarterbacks, but don't want to pay him anything,
even though they've still spent a ton of money, Like
they're in the middle of of available cap space. So
you know, I think it's the come to Jesus moments, Like,
all right, someone may be willing to give you us
a bunch of stuff for you, but do you want
to just go be a jag?
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (40:27):
Well you could they if they made the trade. Oh no, Lawrence,
I forgot about that, the Lawrence trade. This this will
end a lot of smoke, a lot of fun, but
he'll end up with the Rams again. Coming up next,
speaking of the combine, do we have something to tell
you about what a guy who really wants to go
number one overall?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Just said?
Speaker 2 (40:44):
