best friend?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Beat? Is he really your best friend? Well?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Tonight, absolutely is he my best friend? Be called to
celebrate night one of the combine. We joked around last
couple of nights going We're gonna have shrimp and that
big Saint Elmo's Horse Radish cocktail sauce that's famous in
Indianapolis for the last you know, thirty years with the combine.
He goes, yeah, sure, I said, okay, and I thought
(01:17):
that'd be fine. Male figure something out. Who knows, But
I didn't talk to you about it today and everything else.
So I said, ah, you know, well we'll figure out.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
What are you going to do.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
We'll go to a poyo looko and get dinner. First
thing he does, walks in and he says, what's up blank?
I said, hey, what's up, blank? Because that's how we
treat you.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
We greet each other. And he goes, don't say I'm
a liar. You can't call me a liar.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
And in two hands, it's like it's like the video
of Monopoly when the guy in the top hat is
holding the two bags of money. Hartman's got one hand
with a bag of shrimp and the other hand with
the sauce. That's the greatest cocktail sauce in the world,
and we're eating it right now to celebrate my night
one of the combine.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Did you walk out of the market like you were,
Jamis Winston, Oh, I did very quickly with my eyes
go shifting left to right, waiting to be tackled. Now
you know, like I was evading an open field linebacker
trying to chase me.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
All right, now, I'm gonna tell you the true Harmon's
not gonna like this, but I'm gonna tell you how
we got how we got this this sauce. So so
a few months ago, I was like, man, I wish
I could get that sauce. I don't know if you
can order it, and Harmon says, oh, yeah, yeah, no,
I can get it off Amazon. I said, okay, great,
will you get me a bottle? He goes, yeah, sure,
So he orders, And how did you think you were ordering?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I thought I thought it was only getting like four
because I got one for ty Shirt, I got one
for Justin and one free.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
He thought he was ordering four bottles of the of
the the Saint Almost sauce.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Right, four bottles he was doing. How many bottles came eight?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So he's had all these bottles of horse rad I mean,
I could drink this horse Rabbit sauce.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It's so good. It is my go to trip. Like,
if I want something and I don't feel like cooking,
every market will have And if you're not feeling good, Jumbo,
this really will open up your question I know Monzi
was talking to me earlier that she wasn't feeling well.
Let her chug some of that some of that horse
Rader sauce. I'm good. I literally have spicy vegan wings
(03:08):
right now. So I'm already. No no, no, no, no, no
no no, just chug chug, telling you chug this. Chug chug, chug,
chug chug chuck Larren.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So we're celebrating night one of the combine tonight with
this way. Yeah, day for sauce.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
It is a big day for sauce and sauce, Sauce
and spice. Now, I mean Travis Kelcey, Yes, it's Graty's
coming back then, yeah, yes, dating Taylor Swift, Yeah, that's great.
Sauce gardener is dating ice spice. It's sauce and spice.
Because they were spotted at a New Jersey mall today.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Do you think it was somebody Taylors Taylor Swift's influence though,
because she's friends. I must have told her you're done.
You guys are done. You had your time and there
drop their own bank accounts and all these things. So
quote the great Vanilla eyes dropped to zero and get
with the hero. I mean it writes it. I mean
you're gonna do the Ninja wrap next.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
No, no, because there's really no great nickname for Travis
Kelsey and Taylor Swips like. Okay, but you got sauce
and spice, right, it's sauce and spice. Sauce and spice, like,
I bet you there's gonna be some sort of local
East Coast restaurant chain with a sauce and spice special.
We got sauce and spice, and now they'll both be
in the commercial. Sauce and spice, spicy chicken. Here's some sauce.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, right, write that down. Let's write that down. I'll
go right tomorrow in my workshop, man in my kitchen,
let's go. So that means he's gonna stay with the Jets. Well,
he's not the one you're worried about. He's got Wilson.
I've already said goodbye to Caro will So now he
says he's amenable to of course, he is shy and
(04:47):
tag with it. Whoever brings a dump truck full of
money to his house.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
He said, yeah, I'd love to stay. Sure, it doesn't matter.
How do you think it would?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
He?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Did you not read the survey. But if he backs
up enough cash, are they paying me yet? Then? I
love it? Are they not paying me? Then I don't
throw me the ball. It doesn't matter who's throwing me
the ball. He doesn't care. No, Sauce and spice man
saws and spits how it goes and shaking bitch and
who shaking bake? I sauce and spice and new shaking
bake again back to yeah, buddy, our youths and chicken
(05:17):
shaking bake shaking bake, shaking bake. I'll shake it some
shaking bake back shaking bank. Don't you have to win?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I don't think so. I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I think winning his secondary the winner. Well, I mean
if ice spice is winning, then sauce garden doesn't have
the whales are good. Then he just needs it. Doesn't
for the ride?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I mean I don't. Feels still really good. Yeah, but
now we get to individual awards versus team awards and
what really matters.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I worry about this though, because Frost brings up the
point if the Jets continue.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
To suck, like, are they still going to date or
they're going to be okay? When the Jets is what
she's saying, I don't think she's flying blood. She's been
hanging out with Taylor Swift and Winners. She's getting to
the end of he understands what's going on in the
entire art. He's getting to the end of his rookie contract.
If they don't win this year, it's going to be
you know, Oh, I love you, but I can't see
you on that field anymore. All right, all right, free
(06:04):
agents called, I'll go, I'll go stop play. All right, great,
just let you know, let you know Kansas City. I'm
just letting an experience what their luxury boxes are like.
I'm just telling you so. I mean, she's seen the
other side. I don't. I don't hook up with losers.
Now you're going from it in a relation? I mean
(06:24):
what we do?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
What was that? Was Lauren Holly's color character from any
given Sunday.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Right when when Dennis Play got benched. I I'm not
married to the backup quarterback. This was a commercial you
used to do by yourself? What Jamie Fox starts doing
the you do it.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
By yourself and all kids run to Jamie Fox and
they're said, Dennis Quayn, yeah, or whip cream.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Bikini, Ali Larda going, Hey, sorry about that, Paul Walker,
Hey Moxing, Yeah, whip cream bikini coming your way.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
All right, it's only surprised Billy Bob didn't wear it.
More were the court they wanted an I mean the
town well, I mean like you got it from John Boyd.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But John Boyd hates everybody, one of them uplifting, especially
when he was with that bad Louisiana accent or whatever
the hell that was supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, oh god, that was horrible. He was breaking back.
That was the worst. Well now they were well here's
oh yeah, he was terrible. But now they have.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
The the the theology and make it look good because
that the movie was just awful.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Cue was fine, Rappaport was Finn car you were was
in it?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Shoulder was it?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Uh? That's going to be in the sequel. It's actually
takes place in the Starbucks. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
It takes place in the Starbucks fight night. We're going
to find an anaconda in Starbucks. We're gonna find some
because we're gonna fight. What the amount of that? People
hate all those guys. It's really very telling. The last
forty eight Yes, yes, individually, it's it's not just the Hey,
I don't like this industry, like those guys obviously have
pissed a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, I mean, look the big story and it was
kind of fun to see inside the NBA open up
with it. And this is a story that sort of
broke yesterday, but we got more details today. NFL insider
Jordan Schultz, who has been on the show many times,
Yeah with us, got into it with the NFL Network,
used to be with me on the Sunday Show, got
into the NFL network insider Ian Rappaport at a Starbucks
(08:21):
in Indianapolis yesterday at issue was there reporting over the
story that Matthew Stafford was being wooed by Tom Brady
the other day when apparently Matthew Stafford randomly ran into
Tom Brady. Now, Jordan Schultz had the story that this
was a meeting that was going on and Stafford was
being wooed to try to get a trade or some
(08:42):
kind of movement from the Rams to the to the Raiders,
where Ian Rappaport said, no, there's been no wooing. They
just ran into each other and there's it's not a
big deal. So the two of them see each other
at Starbucks, and then for a minute or so, they're
yelling at each other and pore. According to reports, Jordan
Schultz said, we need to talk. Rappaboard said we don't
need to talk, and supposedly Jordan Schultz started cursing at him.
(09:05):
He says, I didn't curse at him. And they started
going back and forth and had to be they had
to be separated. And it's become a thing, like a
near fight in a Starbucks has become a thing.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
It was a scrappino. That's a good one. And now
images of this is the exact location that this happened,
Like there's a studio Frostburg sent me, here's where the
fight was, here's the stars where the fight was.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
But you're legitimately in the convention center with medium people
are out all on their phones looking for the next
you know, Hey, I'm going to meet up with this
coach or this assistant.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Or this scout or whatever, and none of them hit record.
Yeah nobody, no nobody.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I mean, look, and especially because if you were talking
about this, this back and forth, I would have to
make Sheltz the favorite in this fight simply because well no, no, no,
no home field advance. Where was where was this going on?
Out of Starbucks? Jordan Schultz? Dad Howard Schultz owned Starbucks.
I mean like there's the same game.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Man, that's Ian Rappitport going in on the road in
a hostile environment and coming out with a draw like
that's pretty good. But it becomes a full law and
order thing. What happened to the tape? I don't know.
It was only Yeah, it was only a minute. I
can see where maybe there was because usually in fights
you see like this, it's it's after the first the
(10:28):
first burst of whatever happens is usually when the phones
go on. And because this was a minute, and they
either got separated or separated themselves, like we didn't get
any more of this, so then they they didn't go
back at each other. I'm talking about the security cameras
from the Starbucks. Well, you can't tell me there's not dude.
What did I just say? Who is the who? Who's
dad owned? That's what I'm saying. It's now a law
(10:50):
and order. Did you have those tapes saltered? There could
be those erased.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
We just got a call from the big Boss, Danny,
is he coming in this weekend. No, Howard Schultz, He yeah,
I wanted to see if the cameras were working in
staid if they were working, to see if he could
find our way to the camera's not being working. Oh,
they weren't on, and I'll give you a time and
a half for today. Oh all right, that's awesome, that's true.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, all of it to say, all right, it's over
the Stafford thing, which the NFL quickly comes out, Hey,
there's no tampering here. He's allowed to go talk to
whoever he was, because that's that's really at the heart
of it, right is yeah, yeah, it almost like I
don't care, and so is the legally everything is fine,
we don't give it right but yet Schultz's report. Then
Rapaport returned, and then Schultz came back over the top with, uh,
if you're telling me they just happened to run into
(11:33):
each other at this resort, I've got a bridge to
sell you, Like, he went full back on it. So
that's how it escalates there. And then obviously everybody's doing
a bunch of media, right they're hitting Yeah, whatever their
normal haunts are, whatever else, So like wherever they can
tell that story, they started telling the story and it
began and became a legend from there.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And that's why this thing happened, right because this is
this was just stupid. This was one insider had a
report and the other insider had a different report. What
does it matter. We see differing reports all the time.
But because they're both in the same set, this is
not where Jordan Schultz and ian Rapport differed on reports.
But Jordan Schultz lives where he lives and Ian Rapport
(12:12):
lives in Los Angeles. And it's one of those things where,
oh man, he said that jerky thing on social media.
After I go pick up my kids and we have dinner,
I'll get back on tonight and we'll have it back.
But when you're in the same location and you're seeing
so many people in the business, it's like high school
where you know, two guys have a disagreement and all
day they got to hear from their friends.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
People. Dude, you don't let that let him say that
to you. You let him say that to you, You
let him say that to you.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You're a punk man. I can't let him punk you
like that. I can had you let him say that,
And when the guy is there, you kind of lose
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Where I gotta go confront him. Where do you really
need to confront somebody over? Hey, the meeting was Stafford
and Brady. They didn't just run into each other for
something that's more than that. Oh I don't have that,
Well you should have that. I mean, really, this was
an insane thing to fight about. This is not Hey,
I had the Andrew Luck retiring story and you stole
(13:05):
it from me because you heard me talking about it
on my phone. Like, this is something that if it
wasn't the fact that.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
They were all that they were all hanging out in
the same area and so many people from the business
and you see people all day.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, this wouldn't have happened. This is high school. Yeah,
two quick things. First, you know, it became about the
tampering stuff and questioning whether you know, Don Yee stepped in,
and the reporting was well, it was just coincidental because
you didn't know the rules of engagement with Stafford of
whether he's fully cleared or if you still have to
go back through the rams to get permission to have
(13:37):
those conversations, right, because Brady's been part of tampering before, right, Yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Brady and the rules have kind of a casual arms
length relationship.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yes. The second was we did the report card yesterday.
The other insider that got blowback our guy Jay Glazer
once again, because the Buccaneers ran twenty seventh. He started
wearing it over all sorts of their own. He's like,
it's not me already.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, we gotta just keep hashtagging Jay on on Twitter
with hashtag sell the Tell the hashtag sell the Team.

(16:08):
of version posted right after we get off the air. Well,
we just watched Giannis and the Bucks dismantle the Nuggets. Yeah,
with a twelve point lead and twenty seconds left to go,
Giannis decided I'm going in for a flying dunk, So
put a pin in that for at some point later on.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Well, I'll just always be careful because someone may come
flying across the middle. But the performance of the night tonight,
and it really is something to see when you're almost
thirty seven years old.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
And you can still do to in a row, almost
in a row. Third quarter was almost in a row,
and you can do what Steph Curry did tonight, twelve
threes en route to a fifty six point game.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Curry, guarded by Carter Junior, gets another screen bounce past
the post over the Pajemski post, had a layup and
gave it up. Pojevski out to curR Ry pump, big
fly by free ball got it with the buzzer sounding
the shot Clockwell's winding down is twelve three of the night.
He's got a fifty two point game. Warriors Radio Network
(17:14):
on the call.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
They go on to beat the magic fifty six points
for Steph overall, and it's it's it's a case of
now and we're in a different part of sports now
because this is much bigger than Steph Curry having a
game like this. You know, fifty six points is gonna
be thirty seven years old, is that?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You know?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
For all the talk we have had, and one of
the best things about sports in the last twenty years
has been athlete's attention to nutrition and details. I mean
not not if you're the Jets and you get rid
of the nutrition person, but everybody's attention to Luca nutrition,
to detail and working out because we you know, one
thing I've said about Lebron James in the last couple
(17:55):
of weeks is that you look at how he's playing,
no one in the history.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Of sports has played as well as he is at.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
The age of forty, no one. You know, people play
well once in a while, but not at his level.
But when you look at some of the guys the
last ten or fifteen years in sports, Lebron is forty
and he looks like he can do this for at
least another five years.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, I mean, you would yell Brady, but it's a
much different physicality. Steph is thirty seven. Brady and Aaron
Rodgers are both in their mid to late thirties. When
Rodgers is winning MVPs and Brady's winning another Super Bowl,
you are seeing and now you're seeing guys in their
mid to late thirties in Major League Baseball that are
still hitting big, getting big contracts. Like you have seen
this big push like in the I would say the.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Turn of the century, when you got to the two thousands,
we got to the point where, hey, thirty two to
thirty five was still a really good time for a
star athlete like you can still It's not like when
you're thirty. Once you had thirty two, it was a
you're kind of going downhill. You take care of yourself. Hey,
the ages of thirty two to thirty five, thirty six
were really great years. Now it's like, hey, the ages
(18:57):
of hey, okay, that goes all the way through it.
Now the ages of thirty five to thirty eight and
forty can be really good. Now still you're trying to
break the forty barrier and move on when you're forty
five years old playing sports. But now in twenty years,
we've gone from hey, you're out has been in your
early thirties to now it's at forty. For the great
athletes that take care of themselves Luca, that take care
(19:19):
of themselves Luca and want to make sure that they're healthy, Luca,
and they forget the other and they don't what podcast Pee,
I'm just saying, dude, podcast Pe gets it, man, He says,
I gotta stop this podcast while we're eighteen games under
five hundred.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I gotta get.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Ready to their balls right now, come on, man, this
is a big time. I can't believe the media is
not keeping track of us chasing the bulls. But that's
just really something to see that now this era and
in all sports too. Right, Alexandrovetchkin is gonna break Wayne
Gretzky's record right for most goals in a career when
a couple few years ago, like, is he really gonna
make it now, He's gonna make it there, and maybe
he makes it by the end of the season, more
(19:55):
than likely the beginning of next but a couple of
hat tricks.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
You never know.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
So you're seeing guys in all sports that are suddenly
doing it. Look justin Verlander, when he was forty, he
was still winning the World Series, and pitchers are getting
to the age of forty and they're still throwing the baseball.
So this is now. It's a great time where the
big stars. You know, it's not like, well, we're waving,
I'm getting ready to wave goodbye to you when you're
thirty two. Now it's like, no, no, we've got time.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
You're gonna be forty years old before you really start
seeing hey, maybe now I need to retire. Well, and
then you still tell them I'm not giving you a
five year deal. But all of that, it doesn't mean
I'm hey, I love everything you're doing. I'm not gonna
have long run, but I love what you're doing. It's great,
but I'm not giving you. What'll be interesting to watch
is how much this inspires further. Right, Because all of
these guys came into their respective leagues, you know, as
(20:41):
you still had what you would refer to as the
old heads, the old way of thinking, where you had
some grizzled veterans that were hanging on and still playing,
but you didn't have a lot of the stars. Right,
Jordan's kind of a weird one. Retires, un retires, comes
back still scoring twenty at forty, but obviously efficiency ratings
and all of that have gone to hell, and he's
for a terrible team and not really looking to win.
(21:03):
But all of that to say is that we have
these guys that we celebrate, and I'm always wondering as
we go forward, how many of these twenty year runs
we get from guys. One because you're making money in
college now right, you're already walking out with a giant bag.
And Two, the contracts are that if you get to
that second deal, we're talking about having three hundred million
(21:25):
dollars in the bank for a minute, so your motivation
to stay great for twenty years. Like, it's I question
how many of these guys we're going to get to
celebrate like this long term, Like we've got a nice
little rash of him here, but I wonder if it
is a short lived pop in that regard, regardless of
nutrition and all of the advancements we've had in science,
(21:47):
the rules obviously in the NFL that are keeping quarterbacks
on the field much longer, because we spend a lot
of time talking about Rogers and matt Stafford, even though
Stafford at the end of every year, we're doing the well,
here's a chart used to do on the CBS pregame.
I think they still might still they might still do it,
but where they put up the guys, here's the skeletal system,
(22:07):
and then there's all sorts of arrows and blinking red
areas about how the that's Matthew Stafford at the end
of a ya, Well, you know, yeah, rib injuries and
sure like okay, so we're gonna be rebuilding him bigger, faster, stronger.
But that's just the thing to appreciate now is that
there's still as much as we made Momoan, we don't
have as a league wide the residuals of those old
(22:33):
ages and guys that want to gut it out and grind.
You still have these guys that we can point on
the map, including Curry and whatever. Lebron James reinvigorated by
hanging out with with Luca donchis if he can hang
out underneath the basket and get those easy buckets. Kidding me, Hey, hey, hey,
come on, Pam guy, get it up now.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
The other part of this story is obviously Luka Doncic
and the Lakers getting ready to start. They're gonna opening
tip by leave his four minutes away, four minutes.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You know, they played tonight, they play tomorrow. They'd play
the Clippers on tomorrow. They played the Clippers Monday, the
Clippers on Tuesday, the Clippers on Thursday. Is that that's
the trade we spend most of the time talking about,
obviously because it's such a big deal. But not a
great night tonight for him on the floor, but because
he had five points to night one to seven from
the floor.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
But the Warriors are seven and one since they traded
for Jimmy buckets. And this is why when this trade happens,
we said watch out for this trade because this was
a trade that was an awesome one for Golden State.
And when you saw them extend him for the next
two years, oh fifty million for ja but you saw
this is Golden State's philosophy. As we know this year
(23:42):
it's probably gonna be a little bit too much to
think that, oh, we're gonna go and we're gonna make
a big run in the Western Confort Noll. The teams
at the top of the West are much better right
Oklahoma City is a machine.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
The Nuggets are.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Getting it going. The Lakers are playing really well. They
have Luca. But this is a trade that was made
because what they need and they know they need one
other star, and they said, let's get the one star
now in Jimmy Butler, and now in the off season,
we'll make it work for somebody else will make some
kind of trade. We've still kept all our young guys
that either can blossom with us over the course of
(24:16):
the next couple of months or they're great trade bait
in the offseason, because there's gonna be teams that want
to move on from highly paid players that maybe we
don't want to see. Joel Embiid, Paul George. There's gonna
be guys out there, and so the Warriors plan is terrific.
That's why we love this trade, and we talked about it.
This is not about this year. Yeah, Jimmy Butler's gonna
(24:38):
help him this year. Obviously, because Jimmy Butler's a good player.
When he's motivated, he's terrific. When he's not motivated, you
don't want him around your team. But here he is
Golden State team he wanted to go to the next
couple of years, he'll be fine. But now they are
just they got that one and now they're one more
player away. Because they have always functioned with a big three,
they have found a way to do it.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Not every team.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Every team feels they need a big three, but not
every team is able to to take that big three
and turn it into something. Just look at the Nets
or any team with Kevin Durant outside of the Warriors.
But you know, this is a team that, hey, with
a big three. We figured it out. Before the big
three was Steph Clay and Draymond And now, okay, well
Draymond's not that guy anymore, and Clay is on the
on the on the Mavericks. So now it's Steph and
(25:20):
now it's Jimmy Butler, and they'll get that other player
in the offseason, and suddenly the Warriors now have a
window back open to be big time contenders in the West.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
It's too much of this year.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
They're too old, and they need they need some sort
of improving in the off season. But this was a
two step plan for them, and the first step has
went awesome, right. They beat Boston, they beat Washington, who
hasn't They beat Houston, New Orleans back to back.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
They lost to the.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Clippers, that beat Utah, they beat Portland. You know, they
win again tonight again against Orlando. H Everything is going
fine for the Warriors. And because I look, I said
Steph had to leave if they want to win again.
And I still believe that it'd be much easier for
him to go to another team. But the Warriors have said, Okay,
we're not gonna let Steff go out here and put
up empty stats the rest of his career, the next
couple of years of his prime, which is still going
(26:07):
now at thirty six. Obviously he's got at least another
two years after this, so they have opened that window.
As long as they get something done in the offseason,
they're suddenly they'll go into next year and it's watch
out for the Warriors. They made their way back up
to the top of the West.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I think one of the big things to punctuate here
also is that you made a bet on a guy
who's thirty five, right, Jimmy Butler. That was a lot
of the rhetoric and talk, not just attitude and what
he's doing. The fight with pat Riley that everybody said, oh,
he's not gonna win. I think he won. I think
he may have knocked pat Riley out in this one.
Because he gets his two year, one hundred and twenty
(26:41):
million dollar extension. He goes to a place where they're
ready and hungry to win. And you got a guy
in Steph Curry, there's no questioning you know what he's
all about and for he's brought. How many guys have
come through those doors through the years of trying to
figure out how the right formula. You got Kurse still
calling the shots. You know Myers left. So this was
a big test for dun Leavy junior in that front
(27:03):
office to make a big move, a big splash. Not
a lot of heavyweights on the schedule, as as you
read those off a couple of blips where you said,
good game, good game. Okay, Orlando's about a five hundred team,
but on any given night they've gone and hit some
big knockout blows as well. You've got the eleventh best slash,
(27:24):
easiest schedule remaining in the NBA, and this is the
night you were able to take down Orlando Heroics by Curry.
The rest of your squad shot thirty seven percent. I
just thought, because thirty seven is a magic number on
the show, that'll bring it back in. But you didn't
really get a lot right. You got a little bit
of help off the bench when you look at the
(27:45):
exploits of Quinton Post, but otherwise subpar shooting all around.
But Zimski normally better. Moody only took five shots. Butler
you mentioned one of seven. Draymond had twelve and ten,
so doing the dirty work there. So it rounds into shape.
You take advantage of the schedule, and on any given night,
(28:06):
when you've got a guy that can put up fifty,
you've got a puncher's chance. In this league, we would
talk about it all the time. It becomes a bunch
of one game series as you roll it out for
the Warriors exit out about a Fresca exit swalling down
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon
lot from the tireq dot com studios. So just understand
(28:26):
that the Warriors this plan is coming. Time to find
out what's trending in the wide world of sports from
someone who's been called the Steph Curry of Fox Sports Radio.
Every night she puts on a show and she chews
her mouthpiece walking up and down the floor, sometimes in
between up bow. It's Monty Belanos.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
When I watch him do that, I'm like, how does
he do that?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
It has to be crooked right in order for him
to be able to take it out without touching it.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
He takes it out with this tongue and holds it. Yeah.
I feel like it has to be.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
In some way crooked, because if it's perfectly how can
you just take it out and keep it on one side?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
No? No, I think if you're Steph, you have someone
that actually that's their job. What do you do?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I create custom mouthpieces for Steph Curry so he's able
to take it out and chew on it easy, easier.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
You're right, it's part of a million dollars.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I remember in football, like Mike and I played, like,
they gave you a mouthpiece that was just this hard
plastic thing that would cut your gums.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Oil it. It was so it was so bad.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
They were so cheap and it was I was like,
this is not going to stop me from getting a concussion,
but but this is terrible.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I mean it was so shocking. It would it would
cut your gums. You would have to boil it, bite
down on it. I remember boiling it and iced tea
going off. Look at the iced tea flavor when I
played No, that flavor's gone in like eight seconds. So yes, we're.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Not using the same type of no mouthpiecepiece.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
What I'm saying is mouthpieces have come a long way.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
They've come a long way, and he probably does have
making special ones.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Like I see no like like horse radish, almost sauce,
spot delicious, Clear's the sinuses.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Well Curry with his mouthpiece retainer, whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Fifty six points, twelve threes.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
The Warriors come back to defeat the Magic one twenty
one to one fifteen. As you guys were just dissecting
this game, Paolo Bancaro in the loss had forty one points.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Then the Nuggets and the Bucks.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Went back and forth. But you know, Janni Santetokoupo with
the exclamation point at the end box.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Go the other white Torrian prince feeds that I had
to Kushma to Janis Yannis, look at the horror of
the cylinder with a fig one hand roshers Bucks Radio
Network on the call.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
He had to do it. Twenty eight points, nineteen rebound,
seven assists, and the Bucks defeated the Nuggets won twenty
one to win. Twelve two games going on still in
the NBA and one to come. That's Septemberwooves in the Lakers,
which is gonna start any second now. But the Suns
are on top of the Pelicans ninety one to eighty
eight after three quarters, and with about two and a
half minutes to go, the Mavericks are beating the Hornets
ninety four to ninety one. Kyrie Irving twenty three points
(31:00):
eight rebounds so far in the game. In men's college hoops,
Rutgers is currently beating number fifteen Michigan in this one,
and I just lost my screen.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Give me a second.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Wait about ten minutes to go in the second half,
Rutgers up seventy four to sixty two on number fifteen Michigan.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Give it up for Doug Gottlieb win number four woo.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Green Bay Phoenix did beat the Detroit Mercy Times seventy
to seventy one, so give it up for Doug on
win number four on the season.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
On the ice the Jets, Jackson, what's happening to the Jets?
Jets are great. You can't stop the Jets when they
won eleven.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
In a row, eleve in a row, and predators are
beating the Jets right now.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
That's all right, that's all right. Everyone's to go into
the Jets to lose once in a while. It's okay, that's.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Okay, all right. Well, I guess back to you guys.
Thank you, n Jess and.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
As Berman would say, and TJ clearly Gottlieb been the
phoenix showing no mercy to Detroit in this game.

(33:08):
to a big start so far, or Luca and Lebron
taking turns, throwing football passes the length of the court
for a couple of big hoops. They lead Minnesota right now,
eleven to six, eight and a half to go in
the first quarter. Luca looks a little tired after running
up and down the floe in the first couple of minutes, but.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Everything is fine. Just lead pass that he threw to Lebron, right.
I joked about it before Lebron staying back down court.
That was like the having a cornerback trying to play
defense and the ball goes whizzing past his head. Yeah,
the wide receiver. That was how much Mustard was on
that pass from Luca. And as soon as Lebron catches it,
(33:49):
he didn't have to do anything with the ball. Luca
was already doing the fist pump like he was Tiger
Woods on a Sunday.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
That's where I see that play And I got no
ball skills that that defensive back has no ball skills.
No balls there, it's there. Lebron just banked in a
three from in front of the Lakers logo. So yeah,
the Lakers offense out to a big start so far.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
So we'll have more on this game coming up in
a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
But speaking of basketball, look and the biggest story in
the country today. It's tragic and it comes with with
its own set of weird circumstances. The death of Gene
Hackman today at the ort, not today, but discovered today,
the bodies of he, his wife, and one of his
dogs at their residence in New Mexico. And if you've
(34:32):
been following the story. During the day, you know that
they hadn't been heard from in a couple of weeks.
There was someone came to check on the house and
saw both of them in the house, lying on the ground.
They found Gene Hackman in the mud room of the house.
His wife was in another room with a bottle of
pills empty near her. One of their pets was dead
near her. Initially, you're thinking.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Okay, carbon monoxide poisoning. But as we found out over
the course of the day, they went out and check,
and they had gas company out checking. It's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
And that they didn't find any evidence of any ghastly
doesn't mean that couldn't have happened. And with the you know,
the door was open, like the door to their house
was open, Clearly the gas could have gotten in and
gotten out.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Because they feel that they had been dead for the
last couple of weeks. And you see the phrase there
some of their hands and feet were already getting mummified
because they were they'd been gone for a couple of weeks.
And it's gone from a story that you first hear
it and you go, oh wow, But ninety five that's
a great run for Gene Hackman. Then you hear his
wife and his dog were died as well, and now
(35:37):
you're thinking, what kind of circumstances are there. They're treating
the deaths as suspicious, but no foul play is suspected,
meaning nobody broke into the house and there was nothing missing,
there was no signs of struggle, There was no outward
signs of physical harm on both Gene Hackman and his wife.
And his wife was a lot younger than him, like
(35:57):
his wife was. She was sixty three sixty four years old.
So it's just it's.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Sad that a day, you know, look when when someone
of that age, you know, you're in your nineties, you're
an actor, you're an athlete, and you pass away, that
that day is reserved for talking, taking a look at
what you've done over the course of your career and
what it is. And we'll get into Hoosiers and and
and the filmography of Gene Hackman in a few minutes,
because he may he may wind up being the best actor,
(36:22):
the most talented actor we've seen when you look at
some of the movies he was in and his performances
in him.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
But what you saw today was it was, Hey, here's
Gene Hackman and we're trying to remember him and his
life is an actor, and then the guys were tired,
been retired for twenty years, but everybody's seen his movies.
Hey that last movie he made is still a class welcome.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
But at the same time, it's oh wow, it's so sad,
and it's tragic that this is what happened as well,
and you're we're waiting to find out more information, and
who knows, it's going to be a while before we
get the information on this.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
But it's just it really, it's it's it's sad. It's
sad all around. It's sad for everybody.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
You know, the three, the the you know, both of
them who died, and their dog who died, and it's
just it's just a sad thing. And and and it's
hard because while you're talking about Gene Hackman in his life,
you go what happened, what happened to It's a really
difficult thing to balance.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
No, that's it. Right, last night, right, we finished the show,
We get home and as I'm want to do, it
takes me a while to wind down. So I'm you know,
on social media and I'm just watching bad television. I
forget what movie I flipped on, but otherwise you're watching
reruns of bulls games. Norton, No, you said bad television.
I'm sorry. He runs a bulls game. Yeah, come on,
(37:32):
give me a little more credit. He's not chef from
the nineties. He was watching reruns a Bears game. Sorry.
I found my old VHS collection of the eighty five
Bears from back in the day.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I found the NFL films eighty five Bears season retrospect.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
I do have that, yeah, or Glory, Yeah, ninety five Wildcats,
the Run to Pasadena, all of those things, and Mike
Ditka liked the chauffeur of a large limousine, content to
let the pods do the driving. McMahon back to pass,
he finds, I'll touchdown, but I have interesting people are
sending me pictures. Bo's gotten back into trading cards, and
(38:07):
he's like, I got this gool Jim McMahon, I'm like,
I'll trade you for it. But all of it to say,
all of a sudden, I get the notice, Oh, June
Ackman's passed away, terrible, and then like fifteen minutes later
it's updated to include his wife and the dog. So
immediately like all right, as you said, carbon monoxide poisoning,
even his daughter saying, well, we think this and at
(38:29):
the time, no foul play, no suspicion, you know, just
a horrible accident. And then as the day goes on,
it starts to be more layered, like we would watch
some of these crime investigation shows of weeks and months
and being out of pocket, and you know, whatever community
they associated with, they obviously weren't seen or heard from
(38:51):
for a while. And today we get this and very
late last night we get this news that comes down
and yeah, ninety five an amazing run, right. He the
last time he'd been seen in public was like April
of last year. I want yeah videos him and his
wife were out to dinner. Hackeman. Yeah, so not a
(39:12):
guy that was out in the public spotlight. And I
think I kind of spoke to his career, which we'll
get into the filmography as a whole, but a guy
was you just kind of evaporated into every man kind
of thing, right, not the movie star, not needing to
be seen like nope, I'm done coming to New Mexico.
Well that's the thing is that you know, we talk about.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
We talked about athletes like Steph and Lebron who have
been able to hold off father time and they're playing
in their late thirties and early forties and look how
good they are. Hackman was a guy that you know,
he had to retire because he had a heart condition
and his doctor said, you can't really do it anymore.
And you know he's like, okay, but his is a
retirement that's stuck. Like he retired from acting after Welcome
(39:55):
to Mooseport. That's two thousand and four, twenty years. I mean,
he was still seventy four, still active, still was able
to do movies like you someone Welcome to Moves Party.
He looked like he was he was still going. And
this is usually retirements. Hey, I gotta go back out.
I gotta do another movie. I do something else.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
I gotta come back and play. Yeah, something small. And
it was able to stick. He couldn't.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
He didn't want, you know, theater he loved doing and
he's like no, he made that retirement stick for twenty years,
Like we don't. Guys are thirty three and retire and go,
I gotta come back and have one moring. I gotta
do something I'm done. He's like, I'm done. I did
it and I finished, and I'm retired.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
And you know, I envy him those last twenty years
of the life he wanted just hanging out.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Hey, I did my thing. I love doing what I did,
and I have the great memories of life and what
and what I did. But having a retirement stick like that,
to say I walked away and I'm done, that really
was something.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
And leave the CV he did right, because today you
just go through any number of his films and just
sinking into the roles just so great.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Well have Maron Gene Hackman coming up next, including something
that's gonna blow you away when I tell you about
Speaker 2 (40:58):

couple of nights going We're gonna have shrimp and that
big Saint Elmo's Horse Radish cocktail sauce that's famous in
Indianapolis for the last you know, thirty years with the combine.
He goes, yeah, sure, I said, okay, and I thought
(01:17):
that'd be fine. Male figure something out. Who knows, But
I didn't talk to you about it today and everything else.
So I said, ah, you know, well we'll figure out.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
What are you going to do.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
We'll go to a poyo looko and get dinner. First
thing he does, walks in and he says, what's up blank?
I said, hey, what's up, blank? Because that's how we
treat you.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
We greet each other. And he goes, don't say I'm
a liar. You can't call me a liar.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
And in two hands, it's like it's like the video
of Monopoly when the guy in the top hat is
holding the two bags of money. Hartman's got one hand
with a bag of shrimp and the other hand with
the sauce. That's the greatest cocktail sauce in the world,
and we're eating it right now to celebrate my night
one of the combine.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Did you walk out of the market like you were,
Jamis Winston, Oh, I did very quickly with my eyes
go shifting left to right, waiting to be tackled. Now
you know, like I was evading an open field linebacker
trying to chase me.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
All right, now, I'm gonna tell you the true Harmon's
not gonna like this, but I'm gonna tell you how
we got how we got this this sauce. So so
a few months ago, I was like, man, I wish
I could get that sauce. I don't know if you
can order it, and Harmon says, oh, yeah, yeah, no,
I can get it off Amazon. I said, okay, great,
will you get me a bottle? He goes, yeah, sure,
So he orders, And how did you think you were ordering?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I thought I thought it was only getting like four
because I got one for ty Shirt, I got one
for Justin and one free.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
He thought he was ordering four bottles of the of
the the Saint Almost sauce.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Right, four bottles he was doing. How many bottles came eight?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So he's had all these bottles of horse rad I mean,
I could drink this horse Rabbit sauce.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It's so good. It is my go to trip. Like,
if I want something and I don't feel like cooking,
every market will have And if you're not feeling good, Jumbo,
this really will open up your question I know Monzi
was talking to me earlier that she wasn't feeling well.
Let her chug some of that some of that horse
Rader sauce. I'm good. I literally have spicy vegan wings
(03:08):
right now. So I'm already. No no, no, no, no, no
no no, just chug chug, telling you chug this. Chug chug, chug,
chug chug chuck Larren.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So we're celebrating night one of the combine tonight with
this way. Yeah, day for sauce.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
It is a big day for sauce and sauce, Sauce
and spice. Now, I mean Travis Kelcey, Yes, it's Graty's
coming back then, yeah, yes, dating Taylor Swift, Yeah, that's great.
Sauce gardener is dating ice spice. It's sauce and spice.
Because they were spotted at a New Jersey mall today.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Do you think it was somebody Taylors Taylor Swift's influence though,
because she's friends. I must have told her you're done.
You guys are done. You had your time and there
drop their own bank accounts and all these things. So
quote the great Vanilla eyes dropped to zero and get
with the hero. I mean it writes it. I mean
you're gonna do the Ninja wrap next.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
No, no, because there's really no great nickname for Travis
Kelsey and Taylor Swips like. Okay, but you got sauce
and spice, right, it's sauce and spice. Sauce and spice, like,
I bet you there's gonna be some sort of local
East Coast restaurant chain with a sauce and spice special.
We got sauce and spice, and now they'll both be
in the commercial. Sauce and spice, spicy chicken. Here's some sauce.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, right, write that down. Let's write that down. I'll
go right tomorrow in my workshop, man in my kitchen,
let's go. So that means he's gonna stay with the Jets. Well,
he's not the one you're worried about. He's got Wilson.
I've already said goodbye to Caro will So now he
says he's amenable to of course, he is shy and
(04:47):
tag with it. Whoever brings a dump truck full of
money to his house.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
He said, yeah, I'd love to stay. Sure, it doesn't matter.
How do you think it would?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
He?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Did you not read the survey. But if he backs
up enough cash, are they paying me yet? Then? I
love it? Are they not paying me? Then I don't
throw me the ball. It doesn't matter who's throwing me
the ball. He doesn't care. No, Sauce and spice man
saws and spits how it goes and shaking bitch and
who shaking bake? I sauce and spice and new shaking
bake again back to yeah, buddy, our youths and chicken
(05:17):
shaking bake shaking bake, shaking bake. I'll shake it some
shaking bake back shaking bank. Don't you have to win?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I don't think so. I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I think winning his secondary the winner. Well, I mean
if ice spice is winning, then sauce garden doesn't have
the whales are good. Then he just needs it. Doesn't
for the ride?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I mean I don't. Feels still really good. Yeah, but
now we get to individual awards versus team awards and
what really matters.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I worry about this though, because Frost brings up the
point if the Jets continue.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
To suck, like, are they still going to date or
they're going to be okay? When the Jets is what
she's saying, I don't think she's flying blood. She's been
hanging out with Taylor Swift and Winners. She's getting to
the end of he understands what's going on in the
entire art. He's getting to the end of his rookie contract.
If they don't win this year, it's going to be
you know, Oh, I love you, but I can't see
you on that field anymore. All right, all right, free
(06:04):
agents called, I'll go, I'll go stop play. All right, great,
just let you know, let you know Kansas City. I'm
just letting an experience what their luxury boxes are like.
I'm just telling you so. I mean, she's seen the
other side. I don't. I don't hook up with losers.
Now you're going from it in a relation? I mean
(06:24):
what we do?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
What was that? Was Lauren Holly's color character from any
given Sunday.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Right when when Dennis Play got benched. I I'm not
married to the backup quarterback. This was a commercial you
used to do by yourself? What Jamie Fox starts doing
the you do it.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
By yourself and all kids run to Jamie Fox and
they're said, Dennis Quayn, yeah, or whip cream.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Bikini, Ali Larda going, Hey, sorry about that, Paul Walker,
Hey Moxing, Yeah, whip cream bikini coming your way.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
All right, it's only surprised Billy Bob didn't wear it.
More were the court they wanted an I mean the
town well, I mean like you got it from John Boyd.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But John Boyd hates everybody, one of them uplifting, especially
when he was with that bad Louisiana accent or whatever
the hell that was supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, oh god, that was horrible. He was breaking back.
That was the worst. Well now they were well here's
oh yeah, he was terrible. But now they have.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
The the the theology and make it look good because
that the movie was just awful.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Cue was fine, Rappaport was Finn car you were was
in it?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Shoulder was it?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Uh? That's going to be in the sequel. It's actually
takes place in the Starbucks. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
It takes place in the Starbucks fight night. We're going
to find an anaconda in Starbucks. We're gonna find some
because we're gonna fight. What the amount of that? People
hate all those guys. It's really very telling. The last
forty eight Yes, yes, individually, it's it's not just the Hey,
I don't like this industry, like those guys obviously have
pissed a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, I mean, look the big story and it was
kind of fun to see inside the NBA open up
with it. And this is a story that sort of
broke yesterday, but we got more details today. NFL insider
Jordan Schultz, who has been on the show many times,
Yeah with us, got into it with the NFL Network,
used to be with me on the Sunday Show, got
into the NFL network insider Ian Rappaport at a Starbucks
(08:21):
in Indianapolis yesterday at issue was there reporting over the
story that Matthew Stafford was being wooed by Tom Brady
the other day when apparently Matthew Stafford randomly ran into
Tom Brady. Now, Jordan Schultz had the story that this
was a meeting that was going on and Stafford was
being wooed to try to get a trade or some
(08:42):
kind of movement from the Rams to the to the Raiders,
where Ian Rappaport said, no, there's been no wooing. They
just ran into each other and there's it's not a
big deal. So the two of them see each other
at Starbucks, and then for a minute or so, they're
yelling at each other and pore. According to reports, Jordan
Schultz said, we need to talk. Rappaboard said we don't
need to talk, and supposedly Jordan Schultz started cursing at him.
(09:05):
He says, I didn't curse at him. And they started
going back and forth and had to be they had
to be separated. And it's become a thing, like a
near fight in a Starbucks has become a thing.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
It was a scrappino. That's a good one. And now
images of this is the exact location that this happened,
Like there's a studio Frostburg sent me, here's where the
fight was, here's the stars where the fight was.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
But you're legitimately in the convention center with medium people
are out all on their phones looking for the next
you know, Hey, I'm going to meet up with this
coach or this assistant.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Or this scout or whatever, and none of them hit record.
Yeah nobody, no nobody.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I mean, look, and especially because if you were talking
about this, this back and forth, I would have to
make Sheltz the favorite in this fight simply because well no, no, no,
no home field advance. Where was where was this going on?
Out of Starbucks? Jordan Schultz? Dad Howard Schultz owned Starbucks.
I mean like there's the same game.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Man, that's Ian Rappitport going in on the road in
a hostile environment and coming out with a draw like
that's pretty good. But it becomes a full law and
order thing. What happened to the tape? I don't know.
It was only Yeah, it was only a minute. I
can see where maybe there was because usually in fights
you see like this, it's it's after the first the
(10:28):
first burst of whatever happens is usually when the phones
go on. And because this was a minute, and they
either got separated or separated themselves, like we didn't get
any more of this, so then they they didn't go
back at each other. I'm talking about the security cameras
from the Starbucks. Well, you can't tell me there's not dude.
What did I just say? Who is the who? Who's
dad owned? That's what I'm saying. It's now a law
(10:50):
and order. Did you have those tapes saltered? There could
be those erased.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
We just got a call from the big Boss, Danny,
is he coming in this weekend. No, Howard Schultz, He yeah,
I wanted to see if the cameras were working in
staid if they were working, to see if he could
find our way to the camera's not being working. Oh,
they weren't on, and I'll give you a time and
a half for today. Oh all right, that's awesome, that's true.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, all of it to say, all right, it's over
the Stafford thing, which the NFL quickly comes out, Hey,
there's no tampering here. He's allowed to go talk to
whoever he was, because that's that's really at the heart
of it, right is yeah, yeah, it almost like I
don't care, and so is the legally everything is fine,
we don't give it right but yet Schultz's report. Then
Rapaport returned, and then Schultz came back over the top with, uh,
if you're telling me they just happened to run into
(11:33):
each other at this resort, I've got a bridge to
sell you, Like, he went full back on it. So
that's how it escalates there. And then obviously everybody's doing
a bunch of media, right they're hitting Yeah, whatever their
normal haunts are, whatever else, So like wherever they can
tell that story, they started telling the story and it
began and became a legend from there.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And that's why this thing happened, right because this is
this was just stupid. This was one insider had a
report and the other insider had a different report. What
does it matter. We see differing reports all the time.
But because they're both in the same set, this is
not where Jordan Schultz and ian Rapport differed on reports.
But Jordan Schultz lives where he lives and Ian Rapport
(12:12):
lives in Los Angeles. And it's one of those things where,
oh man, he said that jerky thing on social media.
After I go pick up my kids and we have dinner,
I'll get back on tonight and we'll have it back.
But when you're in the same location and you're seeing
so many people in the business, it's like high school
where you know, two guys have a disagreement and all
day they got to hear from their friends.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
People. Dude, you don't let that let him say that
to you. You let him say that to you, You
let him say that to you.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You're a punk man. I can't let him punk you
like that. I can had you let him say that,
And when the guy is there, you kind of lose
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Where I gotta go confront him. Where do you really
need to confront somebody over? Hey, the meeting was Stafford
and Brady. They didn't just run into each other for
something that's more than that. Oh I don't have that,
Well you should have that. I mean, really, this was
an insane thing to fight about. This is not Hey,
I had the Andrew Luck retiring story and you stole
(13:05):
it from me because you heard me talking about it
on my phone. Like, this is something that if it
wasn't the fact that.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
They were all that they were all hanging out in
the same area and so many people from the business
and you see people all day.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, this wouldn't have happened. This is high school. Yeah,
two quick things. First, you know, it became about the
tampering stuff and questioning whether you know, Don Yee stepped in,
and the reporting was well, it was just coincidental because
you didn't know the rules of engagement with Stafford of
whether he's fully cleared or if you still have to
go back through the rams to get permission to have
(13:37):
those conversations, right, because Brady's been part of tampering before, right, Yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Brady and the rules have kind of a casual arms
length relationship.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yes. The second was we did the report card yesterday.
The other insider that got blowback our guy Jay Glazer
once again, because the Buccaneers ran twenty seventh. He started
wearing it over all sorts of their own. He's like,
it's not me already.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, we gotta just keep hashtagging Jay on on Twitter
with hashtag sell the Tell the hashtag sell the Team.

(16:08):
of version posted right after we get off the air. Well,
we just watched Giannis and the Bucks dismantle the Nuggets. Yeah,
with a twelve point lead and twenty seconds left to go,
Giannis decided I'm going in for a flying dunk, So
put a pin in that for at some point later on.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Well, I'll just always be careful because someone may come
flying across the middle. But the performance of the night tonight,
and it really is something to see when you're almost
thirty seven years old.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
And you can still do to in a row, almost
in a row. Third quarter was almost in a row,
and you can do what Steph Curry did tonight, twelve
threes en route to a fifty six point game.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Curry, guarded by Carter Junior, gets another screen bounce past
the post over the Pajemski post, had a layup and
gave it up. Pojevski out to curR Ry pump, big
fly by free ball got it with the buzzer sounding
the shot Clockwell's winding down is twelve three of the night.
He's got a fifty two point game. Warriors Radio Network
(17:14):
on the call.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
They go on to beat the magic fifty six points
for Steph overall, and it's it's it's a case of
now and we're in a different part of sports now
because this is much bigger than Steph Curry having a
game like this. You know, fifty six points is gonna
be thirty seven years old, is that?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You know?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
For all the talk we have had, and one of
the best things about sports in the last twenty years
has been athlete's attention to nutrition and details. I mean
not not if you're the Jets and you get rid
of the nutrition person, but everybody's attention to Luca nutrition,
to detail and working out because we you know, one
thing I've said about Lebron James in the last couple
(17:55):
of weeks is that you look at how he's playing,
no one in the history.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Of sports has played as well as he is at.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
The age of forty, no one. You know, people play
well once in a while, but not at his level.
But when you look at some of the guys the
last ten or fifteen years in sports, Lebron is forty
and he looks like he can do this for at
least another five years.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, I mean, you would yell Brady, but it's a
much different physicality. Steph is thirty seven. Brady and Aaron
Rodgers are both in their mid to late thirties. When
Rodgers is winning MVPs and Brady's winning another Super Bowl,
you are seeing and now you're seeing guys in their
mid to late thirties in Major League Baseball that are
still hitting big, getting big contracts. Like you have seen
this big push like in the I would say the.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Turn of the century, when you got to the two thousands,
we got to the point where, hey, thirty two to
thirty five was still a really good time for a
star athlete like you can still It's not like when
you're thirty. Once you had thirty two, it was a
you're kind of going downhill. You take care of yourself. Hey,
the ages of thirty two to thirty five, thirty six
were really great years. Now it's like, hey, the ages
(18:57):
of hey, okay, that goes all the way through it.
Now the ages of thirty five to thirty eight and
forty can be really good. Now still you're trying to
break the forty barrier and move on when you're forty
five years old playing sports. But now in twenty years,
we've gone from hey, you're out has been in your
early thirties to now it's at forty. For the great
athletes that take care of themselves Luca, that take care
(19:19):
of themselves Luca and want to make sure that they're healthy, Luca,
and they forget the other and they don't what podcast Pee,
I'm just saying, dude, podcast Pe gets it, man, He says,
I gotta stop this podcast while we're eighteen games under
five hundred.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I gotta get.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Ready to their balls right now, come on, man, this
is a big time. I can't believe the media is
not keeping track of us chasing the bulls. But that's
just really something to see that now this era and
in all sports too. Right, Alexandrovetchkin is gonna break Wayne
Gretzky's record right for most goals in a career when
a couple few years ago, like, is he really gonna
make it now, He's gonna make it there, and maybe
he makes it by the end of the season, more
(19:55):
than likely the beginning of next but a couple of
hat tricks.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
You never know.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
So you're seeing guys in all sports that are suddenly
doing it. Look justin Verlander, when he was forty, he
was still winning the World Series, and pitchers are getting
to the age of forty and they're still throwing the baseball.
So this is now. It's a great time where the
big stars. You know, it's not like, well, we're waving,
I'm getting ready to wave goodbye to you when you're
thirty two. Now it's like, no, no, we've got time.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
You're gonna be forty years old before you really start
seeing hey, maybe now I need to retire. Well, and
then you still tell them I'm not giving you a
five year deal. But all of that, it doesn't mean
I'm hey, I love everything you're doing. I'm not gonna
have long run, but I love what you're doing. It's great,
but I'm not giving you. What'll be interesting to watch
is how much this inspires further. Right, Because all of
these guys came into their respective leagues, you know, as
(20:41):
you still had what you would refer to as the
old heads, the old way of thinking, where you had
some grizzled veterans that were hanging on and still playing,
but you didn't have a lot of the stars. Right,
Jordan's kind of a weird one. Retires, un retires, comes
back still scoring twenty at forty, but obviously efficiency ratings
and all of that have gone to hell, and he's
for a terrible team and not really looking to win.
(21:03):
But all of that to say is that we have
these guys that we celebrate, and I'm always wondering as
we go forward, how many of these twenty year runs
we get from guys. One because you're making money in
college now right, you're already walking out with a giant bag.
And Two, the contracts are that if you get to
that second deal, we're talking about having three hundred million
(21:25):
dollars in the bank for a minute, so your motivation
to stay great for twenty years. Like, it's I question
how many of these guys we're going to get to
celebrate like this long term, Like we've got a nice
little rash of him here, but I wonder if it
is a short lived pop in that regard, regardless of
nutrition and all of the advancements we've had in science,
(21:47):
the rules obviously in the NFL that are keeping quarterbacks
on the field much longer, because we spend a lot
of time talking about Rogers and matt Stafford, even though
Stafford at the end of every year, we're doing the well,
here's a chart used to do on the CBS pregame.
I think they still might still they might still do it,
but where they put up the guys, here's the skeletal system,
(22:07):
and then there's all sorts of arrows and blinking red
areas about how the that's Matthew Stafford at the end
of a ya, Well, you know, yeah, rib injuries and
sure like okay, so we're gonna be rebuilding him bigger, faster, stronger.
But that's just the thing to appreciate now is that
there's still as much as we made Momoan, we don't
have as a league wide the residuals of those old
(22:33):
ages and guys that want to gut it out and grind.
You still have these guys that we can point on
the map, including Curry and whatever. Lebron James reinvigorated by
hanging out with with Luca donchis if he can hang
out underneath the basket and get those easy buckets. Kidding me, Hey, hey, hey,
come on, Pam guy, get it up now.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
The other part of this story is obviously Luka Doncic
and the Lakers getting ready to start. They're gonna opening
tip by leave his four minutes away, four minutes.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You know, they played tonight, they play tomorrow. They'd play
the Clippers on tomorrow. They played the Clippers Monday, the
Clippers on Tuesday, the Clippers on Thursday. Is that that's
the trade we spend most of the time talking about,
obviously because it's such a big deal. But not a
great night tonight for him on the floor, but because
he had five points to night one to seven from
the floor.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
But the Warriors are seven and one since they traded
for Jimmy buckets. And this is why when this trade happens,
we said watch out for this trade because this was
a trade that was an awesome one for Golden State.
And when you saw them extend him for the next
two years, oh fifty million for ja but you saw
this is Golden State's philosophy. As we know this year
(23:42):
it's probably gonna be a little bit too much to
think that, oh, we're gonna go and we're gonna make
a big run in the Western Confort Noll. The teams
at the top of the West are much better right
Oklahoma City is a machine.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
The Nuggets are.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Getting it going. The Lakers are playing really well. They
have Luca. But this is a trade that was made
because what they need and they know they need one
other star, and they said, let's get the one star
now in Jimmy Butler, and now in the off season,
we'll make it work for somebody else will make some
kind of trade. We've still kept all our young guys
that either can blossom with us over the course of
(24:16):
the next couple of months or they're great trade bait
in the offseason, because there's gonna be teams that want
to move on from highly paid players that maybe we
don't want to see. Joel Embiid, Paul George. There's gonna
be guys out there, and so the Warriors plan is terrific.
That's why we love this trade, and we talked about it.
This is not about this year. Yeah, Jimmy Butler's gonna
(24:38):
help him this year. Obviously, because Jimmy Butler's a good player.
When he's motivated, he's terrific. When he's not motivated, you
don't want him around your team. But here he is
Golden State team he wanted to go to the next
couple of years, he'll be fine. But now they are
just they got that one and now they're one more
player away. Because they have always functioned with a big three,
they have found a way to do it.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Not every team.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Every team feels they need a big three, but not
every team is able to to take that big three
and turn it into something. Just look at the Nets
or any team with Kevin Durant outside of the Warriors.
But you know, this is a team that, hey, with
a big three. We figured it out. Before the big
three was Steph Clay and Draymond And now, okay, well
Draymond's not that guy anymore, and Clay is on the
on the on the Mavericks. So now it's Steph and
(25:20):
now it's Jimmy Butler, and they'll get that other player
in the offseason, and suddenly the Warriors now have a
window back open to be big time contenders in the West.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
It's too much of this year.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
They're too old, and they need they need some sort
of improving in the off season. But this was a
two step plan for them, and the first step has
went awesome, right. They beat Boston, they beat Washington, who
hasn't They beat Houston, New Orleans back to back.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
They lost to the.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Clippers, that beat Utah, they beat Portland. You know, they
win again tonight again against Orlando. H Everything is going
fine for the Warriors. And because I look, I said
Steph had to leave if they want to win again.
And I still believe that it'd be much easier for
him to go to another team. But the Warriors have said, Okay,
we're not gonna let Steff go out here and put
up empty stats the rest of his career, the next
couple of years of his prime, which is still going
(26:07):
now at thirty six. Obviously he's got at least another
two years after this, so they have opened that window.
As long as they get something done in the offseason,
they're suddenly they'll go into next year and it's watch
out for the Warriors. They made their way back up
to the top of the West.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I think one of the big things to punctuate here
also is that you made a bet on a guy
who's thirty five, right, Jimmy Butler. That was a lot
of the rhetoric and talk, not just attitude and what
he's doing. The fight with pat Riley that everybody said, oh,
he's not gonna win. I think he won. I think
he may have knocked pat Riley out in this one.
Because he gets his two year, one hundred and twenty
(26:41):
million dollar extension. He goes to a place where they're
ready and hungry to win. And you got a guy
in Steph Curry, there's no questioning you know what he's
all about and for he's brought. How many guys have
come through those doors through the years of trying to
figure out how the right formula. You got Kurse still
calling the shots. You know Myers left. So this was
a big test for dun Leavy junior in that front
(27:03):
office to make a big move, a big splash. Not
a lot of heavyweights on the schedule, as as you
read those off a couple of blips where you said,
good game, good game. Okay, Orlando's about a five hundred team,
but on any given night they've gone and hit some
big knockout blows as well. You've got the eleventh best slash,
(27:24):
easiest schedule remaining in the NBA, and this is the
night you were able to take down Orlando Heroics by Curry.
The rest of your squad shot thirty seven percent. I
just thought, because thirty seven is a magic number on
the show, that'll bring it back in. But you didn't
really get a lot right. You got a little bit
of help off the bench when you look at the
(27:45):
exploits of Quinton Post, but otherwise subpar shooting all around.
But Zimski normally better. Moody only took five shots. Butler
you mentioned one of seven. Draymond had twelve and ten,
so doing the dirty work there. So it rounds into shape.
You take advantage of the schedule, and on any given night,
(28:06):
when you've got a guy that can put up fifty,
you've got a puncher's chance. In this league, we would
talk about it all the time. It becomes a bunch
of one game series as you roll it out for
the Warriors exit out about a Fresca exit swalling down
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon
lot from the tireq dot com studios. So just understand
(28:26):
that the Warriors this plan is coming. Time to find
out what's trending in the wide world of sports from
someone who's been called the Steph Curry of Fox Sports Radio.
Every night she puts on a show and she chews
her mouthpiece walking up and down the floor, sometimes in
between up bow. It's Monty Belanos.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
When I watch him do that, I'm like, how does
he do that?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
It has to be crooked right in order for him
to be able to take it out without touching it.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
He takes it out with this tongue and holds it. Yeah.
I feel like it has to be.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
In some way crooked, because if it's perfectly how can
you just take it out and keep it on one side?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
No? No, I think if you're Steph, you have someone
that actually that's their job. What do you do?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I create custom mouthpieces for Steph Curry so he's able
to take it out and chew on it easy, easier.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
You're right, it's part of a million dollars.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I remember in football, like Mike and I played, like,
they gave you a mouthpiece that was just this hard
plastic thing that would cut your gums.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Oil it. It was so it was so bad.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
They were so cheap and it was I was like,
this is not going to stop me from getting a concussion,
but but this is terrible.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I mean it was so shocking. It would it would
cut your gums. You would have to boil it, bite
down on it. I remember boiling it and iced tea
going off. Look at the iced tea flavor when I
played No, that flavor's gone in like eight seconds. So yes, we're.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Not using the same type of no mouthpiecepiece.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
What I'm saying is mouthpieces have come a long way.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
They've come a long way, and he probably does have
making special ones.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Like I see no like like horse radish, almost sauce,
spot delicious, Clear's the sinuses.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Well Curry with his mouthpiece retainer, whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Fifty six points, twelve threes.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
The Warriors come back to defeat the Magic one twenty
one to one fifteen. As you guys were just dissecting
this game, Paolo Bancaro in the loss had forty one points.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Then the Nuggets and the Bucks.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Went back and forth. But you know, Janni Santetokoupo with
the exclamation point at the end box.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Go the other white Torrian prince feeds that I had
to Kushma to Janis Yannis, look at the horror of
the cylinder with a fig one hand roshers Bucks Radio
Network on the call.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
He had to do it. Twenty eight points, nineteen rebound,
seven assists, and the Bucks defeated the Nuggets won twenty
one to win. Twelve two games going on still in
the NBA and one to come. That's Septemberwooves in the Lakers,
which is gonna start any second now. But the Suns
are on top of the Pelicans ninety one to eighty
eight after three quarters, and with about two and a
half minutes to go, the Mavericks are beating the Hornets
ninety four to ninety one. Kyrie Irving twenty three points
(31:00):
eight rebounds so far in the game. In men's college hoops,
Rutgers is currently beating number fifteen Michigan in this one,
and I just lost my screen.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Give me a second.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Wait about ten minutes to go in the second half,
Rutgers up seventy four to sixty two on number fifteen Michigan.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Give it up for Doug Gottlieb win number four woo.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Green Bay Phoenix did beat the Detroit Mercy Times seventy
to seventy one, so give it up for Doug on
win number four on the season.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
On the ice the Jets, Jackson, what's happening to the Jets?
Jets are great. You can't stop the Jets when they
won eleven.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
In a row, eleve in a row, and predators are
beating the Jets right now.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
That's all right, that's all right. Everyone's to go into
the Jets to lose once in a while. It's okay, that's.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Okay, all right. Well, I guess back to you guys.
Thank you, n Jess and.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
As Berman would say, and TJ clearly Gottlieb been the
phoenix showing no mercy to Detroit in this game.

(33:08):
to a big start so far, or Luca and Lebron
taking turns, throwing football passes the length of the court
for a couple of big hoops. They lead Minnesota right now,
eleven to six, eight and a half to go in
the first quarter. Luca looks a little tired after running
up and down the floe in the first couple of minutes, but.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Everything is fine. Just lead pass that he threw to Lebron, right.
I joked about it before Lebron staying back down court.
That was like the having a cornerback trying to play
defense and the ball goes whizzing past his head. Yeah,
the wide receiver. That was how much Mustard was on
that pass from Luca. And as soon as Lebron catches it,
(33:49):
he didn't have to do anything with the ball. Luca
was already doing the fist pump like he was Tiger
Woods on a Sunday.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
That's where I see that play And I got no
ball skills that that defensive back has no ball skills.
No balls there, it's there. Lebron just banked in a
three from in front of the Lakers logo. So yeah,
the Lakers offense out to a big start so far.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
So we'll have more on this game coming up in
a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
But speaking of basketball, look and the biggest story in
the country today. It's tragic and it comes with with
its own set of weird circumstances. The death of Gene
Hackman today at the ort, not today, but discovered today,
the bodies of he, his wife, and one of his
dogs at their residence in New Mexico. And if you've
(34:32):
been following the story. During the day, you know that
they hadn't been heard from in a couple of weeks.
There was someone came to check on the house and
saw both of them in the house, lying on the ground.
They found Gene Hackman in the mud room of the house.
His wife was in another room with a bottle of
pills empty near her. One of their pets was dead
near her. Initially, you're thinking.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Okay, carbon monoxide poisoning. But as we found out over
the course of the day, they went out and check,
and they had gas company out checking. It's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
And that they didn't find any evidence of any ghastly
doesn't mean that couldn't have happened. And with the you know,
the door was open, like the door to their house
was open, Clearly the gas could have gotten in and
gotten out.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Because they feel that they had been dead for the
last couple of weeks. And you see the phrase there
some of their hands and feet were already getting mummified
because they were they'd been gone for a couple of weeks.
And it's gone from a story that you first hear
it and you go, oh wow, But ninety five that's
a great run for Gene Hackman. Then you hear his
wife and his dog were died as well, and now
(35:37):
you're thinking, what kind of circumstances are there. They're treating
the deaths as suspicious, but no foul play is suspected,
meaning nobody broke into the house and there was nothing missing,
there was no signs of struggle, There was no outward
signs of physical harm on both Gene Hackman and his wife.
And his wife was a lot younger than him, like
(35:57):
his wife was. She was sixty three sixty four years old.
So it's just it's.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Sad that a day, you know, look when when someone
of that age, you know, you're in your nineties, you're
an actor, you're an athlete, and you pass away, that
that day is reserved for talking, taking a look at
what you've done over the course of your career and
what it is. And we'll get into Hoosiers and and
and the filmography of Gene Hackman in a few minutes,
because he may he may wind up being the best actor,
(36:22):
the most talented actor we've seen when you look at
some of the movies he was in and his performances
in him.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
But what you saw today was it was, Hey, here's
Gene Hackman and we're trying to remember him and his
life is an actor, and then the guys were tired,
been retired for twenty years, but everybody's seen his movies.
Hey that last movie he made is still a class welcome.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
But at the same time, it's oh wow, it's so sad,
and it's tragic that this is what happened as well,
and you're we're waiting to find out more information, and
who knows, it's going to be a while before we
get the information on this.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
But it's just it really, it's it's it's sad. It's
sad all around. It's sad for everybody.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
You know, the three, the the you know, both of
them who died, and their dog who died, and it's
just it's just a sad thing. And and and it's
hard because while you're talking about Gene Hackman in his life,
you go what happened, what happened to It's a really
difficult thing to balance.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
No, that's it. Right, last night, right, we finished the show,
We get home and as I'm want to do, it
takes me a while to wind down. So I'm you know,
on social media and I'm just watching bad television. I
forget what movie I flipped on, but otherwise you're watching
reruns of bulls games. Norton, No, you said bad television.
I'm sorry. He runs a bulls game. Yeah, come on,
(37:32):
give me a little more credit. He's not chef from
the nineties. He was watching reruns a Bears game. Sorry.
I found my old VHS collection of the eighty five
Bears from back in the day.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I found the NFL films eighty five Bears season retrospect.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
I do have that, yeah, or Glory, Yeah, ninety five Wildcats,
the Run to Pasadena, all of those things, and Mike
Ditka liked the chauffeur of a large limousine, content to
let the pods do the driving. McMahon back to pass,
he finds, I'll touchdown, but I have interesting people are
sending me pictures. Bo's gotten back into trading cards, and
(38:07):
he's like, I got this gool Jim McMahon, I'm like,
I'll trade you for it. But all of it to say,
all of a sudden, I get the notice, Oh, June
Ackman's passed away, terrible, and then like fifteen minutes later
it's updated to include his wife and the dog. So
immediately like all right, as you said, carbon monoxide poisoning,
even his daughter saying, well, we think this and at
(38:29):
the time, no foul play, no suspicion, you know, just
a horrible accident. And then as the day goes on,
it starts to be more layered, like we would watch
some of these crime investigation shows of weeks and months
and being out of pocket, and you know, whatever community
they associated with, they obviously weren't seen or heard from
(38:51):
for a while. And today we get this and very
late last night we get this news that comes down
and yeah, ninety five an amazing run, right. He the
last time he'd been seen in public was like April
of last year. I want yeah videos him and his
wife were out to dinner. Hackeman. Yeah, so not a
(39:12):
guy that was out in the public spotlight. And I
think I kind of spoke to his career, which we'll
get into the filmography as a whole, but a guy
was you just kind of evaporated into every man kind
of thing, right, not the movie star, not needing to
be seen like nope, I'm done coming to New Mexico.
Well that's the thing is that you know, we talk about.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
We talked about athletes like Steph and Lebron who have
been able to hold off father time and they're playing
in their late thirties and early forties and look how
good they are. Hackman was a guy that you know,
he had to retire because he had a heart condition
and his doctor said, you can't really do it anymore.
And you know he's like, okay, but his is a
retirement that's stuck. Like he retired from acting after Welcome
(39:55):
to Mooseport. That's two thousand and four, twenty years. I mean,
he was still seventy four, still active, still was able
to do movies like you someone Welcome to Moves Party.
He looked like he was he was still going. And
this is usually retirements. Hey, I gotta go back out.
I gotta do another movie. I do something else.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
I gotta come back and play. Yeah, something small. And
it was able to stick. He couldn't.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
He didn't want, you know, theater he loved doing and
he's like no, he made that retirement stick for twenty years,
Like we don't. Guys are thirty three and retire and go,
I gotta come back and have one moring. I gotta
do something I'm done. He's like, I'm done. I did
it and I finished, and I'm retired.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
And you know, I envy him those last twenty years
of the life he wanted just hanging out.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Hey, I did my thing. I love doing what I did,
and I have the great memories of life and what
and what I did. But having a retirement stick like that,
to say I walked away and I'm done, that really
was something.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
And leave the CV he did right, because today you
just go through any number of his films and just
sinking into the roles just so great.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Well have Maron Gene Hackman coming up next, including something
that's gonna blow you away when I tell you about
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Gene and what he thought about Who's Your
