Speaker 2 (00:55):
So.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Lakers and the Pelicans. Lakers with an eighty three seventy
two lead way through the third quarter Lebron James point
number fifty thousand into night's game. Meanwhile, Luka Doncic twenty
six points, eleven assists, six rebounds. Yeah, he's got sixty yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
But his best play at the night, though, was when
he blocked a shot of Hawkins and the balls loose,
he grabs it and throws it off to get the
out of bounds and just signaled like it was a first.
He just smiled, I mean, and he just had that
look like, hey, yeah, I'm playing defense, dude, look at this.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
So we'll have more on this coming up. But in
the time, we've now spent the last twenty four hours
saying goodbye to the Oscars and saying hello to Combine.
We're getting ready for a free agency. The NFL Draft
is coming up. I started thinking about this, would it
be better because the Oscars seem like they're on their
way back. It was a lot of fun. The fun
seems to be back with the Oscar. The ratings were
(01:56):
what they were, but I mean a lot of viral moments.
He got a a lot of extra that needs to
be measured differently. You gotta understand, you gotta have movies
nominated that have fan bases that people you gotta have.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
I mean, the big winner was about the sex industry,
So I mean that should get people back, you know,
on their toes.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Sex sex is popular.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I mean, I will say, no matter what's going on
in the economy and in the rest of the world,
we can be fighting about a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Sex still wins. But I ask you this, what needs
to borrow from the other more? Does I was gonna
say Sex? Does the Oscars need to buy? I mean,
that's a whole other film industry. They have their own
awards in Vegas. Do the Oscars need to borrow from
the NFL draft? Or does the NFL draft need to
borrow from the Oscars? Okay, think about it, right, the
(02:43):
Oscars for it. Let let let let's think about this
part of it first. Right, if the NFL draft was
like the Oscars. Okay, the Oscars starts out and they
build towards the end, which is best actress, best Actor,
best Director, best film. And it's kind of right. It's
always rushed at the end because, oh, we spend so
much time. Let's honor the double Low seven. So we
(03:04):
don't need to honor the double Oh seventh series? What
the hell? Man?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I mean, I appreciated the two folks that they were
trying to show some love to.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
We don't need it, do that? I mean, have a
seventh James Brown we don't like, man.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I guess it timed up with the sale, like the
whole business of James bond that was announced last week
that has people.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Like, don't it? So everything gets bloated, so the end
is really rushed. Well, it's supposed to be the big
moment right now. The NFL Draft does the opposite. The
NFL draft is, hey, we start with a bang, and
then by the time we get to the mid point
in the first round, the names are out there, you're
really interested if your team is drafting, but the overall
interest is kind of waning. So the OSCARS starts slow
(03:42):
building to the end. The NFL Draft starts big and
Peter's out. Let's say the NFL draft did it like
the Oscars where before the before the draft they actually
had the first round. Okay, so we knew they picked
one through thirty two, trades everything else, right, it went on,
and we know everybody that was pad we don't. But
the NFL they all know all the teams one through
(04:04):
thirty two, They know who was picked in the first round.
And we start the first round of the draft counting
down from thirty two all the way to number one.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
So kind of like we actually play an NFL season. Yeah,
so when we have thirty go and then they you know,
they slough off and then we say to the big moment.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
We kick things off of the Super Bowl champion Eagles.
Here they are at number thirty two. Here's their pick.
You right, blah blah blah, and you go all the
way down. Oh and hey, just so you know, we
thought so and so was picking at twenty six. Hey,
a team traded to move up. So now this team
is picking here, and now you're building all the way
to number one. I think about what the drama would
be the two guys standing there at the end of
(04:43):
the three guys standing there for the top three picks
when they announced who's going to the announcement of number one.
Think about how cool that would be.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Roger Goodell breaks a pool Q and a half and says,
make it quick.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Who wants to see me make a pencil disappear? Now
that would be no, I got it.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I don't think you can keep leaks from screwing it
all up. It would probably it would have to be
a one day thing, like you have to do the
draft and then the next day is the is the
runw This is like a gorilla.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
You know, twenty four hour film. You keep some sort
of you keep some sort of lid on it for
however many for sixteen hours and then everything goes right,
no social media, none of this, none of this. And
see if you can do that? How cool would that be?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
If you can get all the war rooms to adhere
to this, no leaks, it would be brilliant. Then you
get a bunch of comedy sketches in the middle. Yeah,
you get the sandworm from Dune that will play a
couple of instruments for you. Sure, yeah, no, I kind
of dig this. Do we swap out Goodell for a comedian?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Uh? Yeah, yeah, no longer. I mean he could stand
on the stage to get the hugs like kevins I
would host the NFL, would host the NFL Draft here. Yeah,
that's what he would do.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Okay, it does enough commercials for them, mat Yeah, we
could do that. He's an Eagles fan though, so I
mean or or he'll be done early with his oh
that shirt. But he'd be excited thought the beginning, very exciting,
a lot of energy offen. He'll do a whole scale,
He'll do a whole sketches about different teams and what
goes on.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
How much can we get the coaches to participate? I
mean mcveigh's camera ready, so we know we got him.
He would do stuff like going, see this, Josh Allen, Look,
I'm gonna step right over this line. It's a first
at all. But I didn't get there. I didn't quite
get there with the football, Josh Allen, first out first, Oh,
I didn't quite get there.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Ben Johnson, he's got a mean streak in him, because
you see how he's talked about everybody, like he talked
about Laramie Tunsell throwing better spirals than Jared Goff while
on the move.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I would throw this football to Mark Andrews. But yet
I am exactly or should the Oscars borrow from the
NFL Draft where we open up we have the sketch
and boom, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Actor Actress, Film, Director, Film,
and then you do the other ones, and then the
(06:57):
whole night is reacting. Hey, we're backstage now with the
winner of the Best Director, blah blah blah. Hey, here's
Best Actor interviews with him, and you build that way
and that becomes the night.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
And then there's Days two and three are like the
Technical Awards, where they've already been given out that we're
just playing a tape.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I actually have that idea. But uh, but but the
first things first, because you would you would definitely have
more people watching early on, and you'd be able to
get more mileage out of what the winners are earlier
on in the broadcast. So maybe the NFL should borrow
from the Oscars and the Oscar bar from the NFL,
and and they do it the opposite ways. The last
(07:33):
guy in the green room has to do his best
John Lithgow sad face and pressire o. Yeah yeah, yeah, John, Yeah,
that would that would come right across you. If not,
Pete Carroll is going to give you a disappointed face
if he doesn't like your draft pick.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
What if we change the venue too, Like the NFL Draft,
it's in a different city every year for the Oscars.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I like, Yeah, here's the Oscar down, here's Opere You're sure,
Oh yeah, see Now it's just like those other film
awards in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I like the cutting all that is. Now you said
another idea, Okay, so here's my third idea with it,
is that borrowing from each one barring from the other.
What if the Oscars was two nights. Okay, follow me
on this, because the NFL Draft has shown that, hey,
why should we own one day when we can own
(08:26):
an entire weekend. People are still going to pay attention
to Day two, Day three, not quite with the attention
they spend on Day one, but still it's your day event. Sure,
why not extended? Right? The NBA has figured that out
here you we're gonna extend all the playoff rounds. We're
going to extend that, right, extend. Look at all Star weekends.
Four days of activity, so why and no games? And
there's no games, So it doesn't matter if you were
(08:49):
you were the Oscars. You have two shows. You have
a show on Sunday night, and the first show is
all the technical awards, give away all the technical awards,
and you end with taking the ten nominees for Best Film,
cutting them down to five. So you announced the five
finalists film Pro Football Hall of Fame, and you also
(09:12):
announced the nominees for director. So you don't nominated, so
you don't know, you don't know anything about who's nominated
for director. But you have the ten films that are nominated,
and you end your big thing is ending with, hey,
we're cutting the films down to the five finalists. And
here are the directors who are nominated for Best Director.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Now, if we do the cut down to the final five,
do we get a people's court like interview in the
hallway of the five films that just got cut the
most inebriated member of the crew that has come to
the opposite Yes, yes, it has to be the one.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
If you said, if you send the guy that screwed
up the card for Moonlight, that's who you get to
do the interviews right there. I like this. So you
have the first day and it's still hosted by by
a big comedian. Everybody, everybody shows up, right, you can
have this can be a two and a half two
hour and forty five minute show. You can do some
songs that are nominated for Best Song if you wanted
to do that and give that award out. But you
(10:04):
save all the acting awards, and then the second Oscars
following Sunday is all the Acting awards, Best Director, Best for.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Wow, two weeks of partying. But I mean, think about
what you've now done. But now traffic of the city
though it's Sunday, but it's on a Sunday, but they
shut down that they shut down the.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Whole area for a week. We can close. It's fine
you Guid's oscar man, I can't stumble over.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
You would might have set up some kind of bunko,
Hey make your own star thing on the Walk of Vey.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
You would own the week because you would have all
the anticipation going into the first Oscars. You have the
first Oscars, and maybe what you do then is maybe
you take the songs and put them in the second broadcast. Right,
you do that, You do all the the awards. You
can even end the first Oscars with one or two
with one of the Supporting Actor or Actress awards, like
you give the one big one at the end, and
(10:56):
while that person wouldn't be a part of the big
Oscars next week, they would have a whole week of
storylines themselves. We do all kinds of interviews. Hey, so
and so who won for Best Supporting Actress? Boom boom boom.
They own the week. And then you have a whole
week of leading up to the Oscars on the next Sunday,
different host right, different sketches, different stuff going on. You
give away the actors awards. Maybe that's when you have
(11:18):
the songs, because that would be fun to see the
best songs performed, and then you give away the actors,
and then you have another day of it, and then
you have the day after. Hey, which show was better?
Which host was better? That you taken the oscars and
turn it into from a one day thing into a
week plus event.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
But here's the pressure on you. Now you have two
opportunities to piss people off by omitting someone from the
in Memoriam.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Wells that show. I think you run the in Memoriam
and then if you miss people, you run them the
following side.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yeah, but now those guys are with the people you
forgot are being run with the Best Actor.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
And those awards.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
So it's it's kind of incongruous because normally you run
the folks that had the bigger impact, and you've already
you know, gotten rid of those of the week.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Okay, all right, well, I mean it's a trade off.
It would be a short one. Here's a week long. Yeah,
and you really want to fill some days you just
have Adrian Brody talk. Oh yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
That's still going such like Frees sitting on hold for
us like he did for all those years.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
The week is easy? What was longer? Wicked? The movie
or agent Adam speech. Yeah, I think, yeah, yeah, I
think any speak. What did they get like twenty four
minutes to do their opening songs or something like that?
Felt like it.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
But look now then you have which is fine. I
mean they were great, but you have two. You have
two TV shows.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Obviously the second Oscars would be more viewed than the first,
but that's okay, right, you still would have a big audience,
still big stars going. And then the second one. He
let guys go up there and talk for five minutes.
Let whoever. You're giving away four five big awards, five
big awards, and you're letting people perform and you can
do sketches. That's a two hour and forty five minute.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Show, right, Well, when you go up to do your speech,
you get to give your speech, and then you have
to play improv for three minutes. Yes end, Yes, I'm
looking for a and you start yelling out suggestions like
you're in ted yes end.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Or you you could do stuff like hey, uh, after
you give away your best actor best supporting actor, you
go up to Hey, Edward Norton, you look really upset
you didn't win. Are you really mad? No? That's it. Yeah,
have an instant reaction from the losers. NFL figured out
a way we can now own the whole weekend, and
now Hollywood can own the whole NFL is actually entertaining.
That's the problem. But you know, you get the Oscars.
(13:26):
People would want to see how you get down to
five films and the five No, I think you could
do that. Hey say, hey, what's your drink of choice?
You just lost. I'm trying to improve. I'm trying to
improve the viewers because they would still get twenty million
people to watch the second Oscars. You would get ten
million people to watch the first one. Maybe again, maybe more,
because you're announcing the best pictures, you're announcing the best directors,
and you are giving away one of the two big
(13:48):
acting awards because you're giving a Best Supporting Actor or actress,
and you flip flop that everywhere.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Well, and I'm forcing them to give you a tutorial
by doing some improv that doesn't have a scripted scene.
He's got to he's got to actually do some work here.
You want to go home with that oscar start acting?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
So there you go. Just some ideas, just some ideas
right there. I like this for each thing to borrow
from the other little Donnie Brook going on right now
in La Lakers with a twenty point lead. Dalton connect
is on the floor, looks like he is getting up.
The two teams kind of pushing each other back and forth. Yeah,
(14:25):
referees broke it up and Luca decides to dunk. Yeah
on the Pelicans. Look at my springs man. The two
sides have been separated after a little bit of a
dust up under the hoop, and Luca decides to just
dunk for no reason. He looks out right. Yeah. Uh so,
we'll have more on this coming up next as well
as the biggest sporting event of the night is something
(14:50):
you're probably not aware of, and you're gonna be stunned.
We tell you what happened. That's coming up next right here.

here we sit right now. We mentioned a few minutes
(16:23):
ago little bit of a back and forth after a
hard foul on Dalton connect who cups by the way?
I think he's so evident, said he cups.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Either that or he got pelted from the third row,
or there's paintball games that they play.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Knowing they were playing the Pelicans tonight. Hey, Howie Roseman
turn around, So he gets fouled hard from behind. There's
a bit of a blow up underneath, the sides get
separated and Luka Dacch decides to just dunk the basketball
and the Pelicans.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
It was I mean, he's feeling it, There's no question
about it. So he was like, yeah, you're all right both.
I mean, it's a bit of a hard foul, but
it becomes the right interpretation. Was he trying to wrap
him up where as he's going up with the ball.
Was he just too slow? Is it a dirty play
because he gets a bunch of the arm. But whenever
anybody hits the floor, you know, you got to have
(17:13):
a little dust up, especially when it's a twenty point
burial frustrations running high.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, boy, the Pelican's really celebrating a big hoop by
Zion Williams. He's got twenty eight, but they're down sixteen,
getting set for the fourth quarter. Lukadancic on his way
to what could be a triple double thirty points, fourteen assists,
And I thought he was a rebound. He's got in shape,
he got a changed talking beers. I told you, I
(17:38):
told you he was. They were going to be great.
I told you they were gonna be great. I told
you that.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
I also questioned about how quote out of shape he
really ever was.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Well, because he wears a lot of bag. He's stuck.
Ks are just dumb. The Jameis Winston picture, Oh you look.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Really heavy though, Like it's not like he wears these
form fitting T shirt.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
It's what but being in shape is not about how
cut you are muscular. It's about having the stamina and
being strong enough to withstand the pounding and going up
and down the court. That's the whole thing, which was
with forty plus minutes every year. Yeah, but the but
the concern for the Mavericks was, oh can we give
him three hundred million dollars and think as he gets
(18:20):
older he's gonna take care of his body. He didn't
do it for the first six seven years he was here.
What makes you think he's gonna do it well?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
But, as I've argued from day one, right if he
was thirty one right now, i'd be having that question.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
If the Mavericks weren't faced with the deadline of this
is the contract he wants us offseason, they would have
still found a way to try to make it work
with Luca. But they were faced with this, with this
deadline of hey, he's eligible for three hundred million dollars.
We don't know if he even wants to stay. Because
that was part of it tow what are you gonna do?
I mean, which I think, which I can't. I think
that was.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
More of the Dallas subterfusion. The in the final minutes
of all of this. I don't know how to justify it.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Didn't Lucas say the night of the first press conference
was I always knew.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It was gonna end this way, Uh, which means I
don't think you trusted old Nico. I think if you
named Michael Finley with the beer, if you knew that
it was gonna end with you being on another team.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Were you really gonna resign there, or we're you gonna
try to find a way to get somebody. We're gonna
have a long career, you know that. But that might
have thing is that if if there was no deadline
and it was we can still work things out, we
can say, okay, we love you, Luca, here's more, then
it would be different. But they were faced with making
a big decision and it was we lose this guy
for nothing, and instead you get an All NBA player
(19:31):
who albeit does have injury concerns, but you also free
up a lot of money. Then now you don't have
to spend on Luca that you can spend on another
star this offseason. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I also do like the conspiracy theories though in terms
of the ownership and and everything they're trying to do
to just say, right, we get we get Davis and
maybe we'll win a little bit here, but if it
goes bad, maybe people hate us, and uh we can
try to force a move or for some concessions from
the NBA and the and Texas as we try to
(20:01):
hold the new arena. Hey, I am all for the
Mavericks just abandoning the season, abandoned.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
This point pretty much did kind of like the Cleveland Spiders, right,
they're the worst team ever. They abandoned the like they
just stop showing up. Like you look at what the
last few weeks has been for the Cavaliers. It's the
side Mavericks. It's for the Mavericks. It's the side show
Bob meme of stepping on the rakes but on steroids. Right, okay,
(20:27):
pretty good. Here's Luca is all right, we're coming off
the NBA finals. All right, Greg, what happens now? Luca's
heard He's not playing. Okay, Luca's not getting along with
Anybody's not taking care of his body. Boom stepping on
a rake. Okay, Uh, we're gonna trade Luca boy really
stepping on rakes because nobody likes it. The fans don't
like it, the media doesn't like it. Nobody likes this trade. Yeah,
but we got a D. Okay, we got a D.
(20:47):
We're gonna be great. AD's dominant. His first game gets hurt,
he's out step on another rake. Okay, all right, we're
still figuring things out. We got Kyrie evering. We're awesome.
Oh yeah, we're gonna announce an increase in prices for
season tickets. Bam, another rake to the face. Oh what
are we gonna do now? You're stumbling around, stumbling around? Yeah,
but we still got Kyrie, We're still holding onto the
ten spot. Bam. Kyrie finds out today torn a cl
(21:07):
out for the year. They cannot get out of their
own don't forget the sandstorm. This is well yeah, well
that's the whole city of Dallas. That's what happens. It
looks like that scene. It looks like that scene from
uh A Ghost Protocol Mission Impossible for when he's running
from the sand that's gonna go this mummy spreading Fraser
(21:28):
scabs scribs. I I cannot remind remember a season for
a team that's gone so unfortunate. I can't say bad,
because lots teams have bad years and win eight nine games,
But this is a series of unfortunate events, this lemony
snicket like to to the extreme. I've not remember a
team in the NBA that had such a bad, a
(21:50):
challenging year and and have all of these things happen,
whether it's of their own doing or something that happens
to them outside like this is his bad. This is
I can't keep saying bad because bad implies record wise.
I mean this this I guess, Yeah, I guess a
series of unfortunate events. That's the best way to describe
the series. For the matter, I can't remember a season
(22:12):
that a team has had like this ever in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah, I mean the ad, the Lively and Gafford injuries
to guys that were supposed to help on the front line.
And that was part of the arguments we were making
and talking about how Dallas in the moment did pretty well.
Uh so, yeah, everything has gone asunder Tonight they get
the The one big win is that SMU took down
your Syracuse Orange.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
We're not going anywhere. We're gonna lose in the first
game of the Ages. It's not giving you an extra dream.
I'm I'm happy for Dallas. I'm happy for Dallas. We're
taking for arch Manning, but I'm happy for dal Now.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Frostberg wanted to know if you were talking about Jimminy cricket,
and it's like, no, no, no, it's the Lemony Snicket
and the series of unfortunate events.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Lemony Snicket and Jimmy cricket sounds like something that that
ad Rock would make rhyme in a Beastie Boys song.
That's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah, positive, and then the uh stealing the fortune from
the orphans.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Say say, I'm unfortunate like Lemony Snicket, but me I'm
gonna live to one oh five like Jiminy cricket.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
But there's no happy endings, not here and not now.
This tale is all sorrow and.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Whoa, that's not Beastie Boys. Beastie Boys is more about
alcohol and women, yea, and going to White Castle like the.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Dreamed that justice swin the day. But that's not how
this story goes White Castle. They can do it more
dramatic song for video later.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, but that's a right. I don't need to be
that dramatic. I just needed to be you know, rhymes
to many cricket and we go to white Castle. We
went to White Castle. I got my boy Mike d
I got a kick Ahead Rock, I got a Jimmy
with them. Uh so, but yeah, just the misery.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I mean, we could go back to what what the
Nets had to a degree, we could talk about the
decade of the process, because you want to talk about teases.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I mean that's better than any radio teas you'll ever do.
It's better than any of the movie.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Stuff we were talking about before, trailers and teasers and
and well again that takes us back to Vegas again.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
But all of that to say.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
This, this has just been miserable. I mean, I know
our Brehanna's back there watching her sons, and this season
has been an abject failure there when you at least
looking at the three stars you assembled that you thought
you had hope, Instead, what did you have? I don't
want to move and I'm not waving my no trade plause,
so beat it, Boundlezer. You're dealing with misery and now
(24:34):
you're fighting with Devin Booker every other day. So it's
like that that's a I guess at least along the
same vein. But at least those guys are still available
and you can still hope that you come to some
consensus of how you proceed for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Here, it's like, what happened That guy's gone? What about
the guy that came in?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, he's gone, he's gone to What about the guy
that was picking up some of the slack and and
moving the ball and distributing and we were playing well.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Oh that thy wait wait wait, hang on, hang on
hand yeah, oh he's gone to Yeah so I thought
he had him for I thought he had him for
a second. No, it's like the Maddy Python cheese catch.
Do you have camon bear? Hang on, No, no, we
don't have that. What about eating cheese? No cheese swiss?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
What about smoke gooda smoke good to smoke good? Yeah,
I think we had Oh no, no, no we don't
have that either. No, no, that would be your worst nightmare. No, yeah,
no cheese, list of no cheeses. Now they had only
the vegan cheese. Fake it you know, No, no, no,
I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you this, right, yeah,
I'll give you this unexpected Cheddar. Unexpected unexpected cheddar. Buy it.
(25:40):
You will thank me later. Unexpected unexpected Cheddar. All right,
it's you can eat it in a block, you can
put it in chili, you can train, you can eat
it on a plane. You can eat it with a
guy named Gus. You can eat it on a bus
off the subway floor. Sure yeah you can't. Sure? Oh yeah, yeah, dude,
unexpected cheddar.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Heyy do that like Jesse Jackson did on Saturday Life.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
The question is moot uh. Now, from this side to
the flip side of the NBA, I've never seen a
fourth quarter run, at least I can't remember in the
NBA when I've ever seen a fourth quarter run like
what the Cavaliers did tonight to your Chicago Bulls. Unbelievable.
The game is tied at one oh seven with six
(26:23):
and a half minutes left to go, right, so obviously
not a great night for the Cavaliers. Look, the Bulls
are terrible. The Cavaliers are the best team in the
Eastern Conference, and Donovan Mitchell's on the bench. Okay, one
oh seven, one oh seven, Yeah, not quite what you
expect it, but you still maybe the Cavaliers will pull
it out. But fun game. And the Cavaliers go on
a run in the next ninety seconds of real time,
(26:44):
I don't mean game time. In the next ninety seconds
of real time they go from one oh seven to
one oh seven, and the Cavaliers are up one to sixteen,
one oh seven, nine points and ninety seconds of real time.
They finished the game in the last six and a
half minutes on a thirty two to ten run. Thirty
(27:05):
two points in the last six minutes. Okay, this is
to what this this what this comes out to about
two hundred and forty points in an NBA game. I've
not sprong. Wow, I know the math is tough, but
I struggle. Look at you did well? I mean look,
I hey, hey, I took AP Calculus. I took all
the AP masks. Don't don't. I don't ask if I
(27:27):
got credit for the AP test. But I took all
the math classes and I did well. I've got in
the nineties, right, I'd really good. Yeah, yeah, the tests
were just too hard. So well, well, if if it
would take twos, i'd be okay. But no, dose schools
would take two.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
No, no, no, you needed that pesky three to get out
Take it two.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Come on, come on, come on, come on. I completed
and I put in the time. Give me something like
I got a one. Come on, I got two. You
give me that point for the effort. But the whole
thing is that the Cavaliers. Any doubts this is the
best offense in the NBA are none. And no, it's
not a lot of players that you heard of. We
still look at what the Celtics are doing and Jokic
(28:06):
and the Thunder when you watch uh shake Gilders Alexander
score fifty points every other game now, But this Cavaliers
offense is insanely good when you when you can go now,
not even the Warriors at their best, can I see
them going on a run like this? Like this is
how good this offense is. There's a reason why they
lead the NBA in points per game. To go on
(28:26):
a thirty two to ten run in again, And it's
not like it's a run where hey, everybody was up
and down the floor of the whole game and we
just go on this big run at the end. This
was a tight one oh seven, one oh seven game
and things weren't going their way because this is Hey,
if you were if you if you bet on the
bulls that you were like, hey, I'm feeling pretty good,
pretty good at home, I got it. No, and instead
you wind up getting destroyed. This is the last six
(28:48):
and a half minutes of the game that was not
going well. They turn it on and go on a
thirty two to ten run. I mean, sir, you're talking
about a sixty four point quarter, right, and that sixty
four times four is two forty six that's a two
hundred fifty six point game, right, So done now that
you could do that? Good, that's what That's what they did.
I have never seen a game get closed like that.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Very impressive. All right, let me give you the random
stat for you. Okay, three times this year the Bulls
have given up at least forty three points in a
fourth quarter. Fifty against the Hawks, forty five against the Timberwolves,
and now.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Forty three to the Cavaliers.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Uh. The only other team that has multiple top seven appearances.
Your Houston Rockets given up forty seven to the Cavaliers.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
And back on February the third.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Okay, forty six to your names, and that's one to
grow on.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
How many games did they give up fifty to shake
gildess Alexander in one quarter? That three times?
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Was that? Was that?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
All four of his fifty point games in the last month?
Were they in one quarter against the Bulls? There? Yeah,
good job, good effort. Exit out about a Fresca exit
swollen down the Jason Smith's Show with my best friend

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, Lifethetirack dot Com Studios. Coming up next,
a bold prediction for one NFL team who is going
to land one of the top quarterbacks in free agency.
I guarantee it. Why because they have to. That's next.
Jason to Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon, Hobo Lifthetirack dot Com Studios. We get
back into a huge milestone from the NBA tonight coming
up in about ten minutes, including what could be next
after this milestone. Lakers lead the Pelicans one thirty one
to one oh five. It doesn't like Luca Donci is
(34:54):
going to get that triple double. Yeah, that's right, overrated,
thirty fifteen and eight rebounds from ye and a half.
You're a loser. Yah, Yeah, losing half a point, baby,
but Lebron with thirty four in a night where he
scored his fifty thousandth point in the NBA. We'll have
more on this game coming up in a few minutes.
(35:16):
But with Sam Donald not getting the franchise tagged, which
we knew last night. We talked without on the show.
I'll tell you this, I guarantee you the Raiders are
going to either get Sam Donald or Aaron Rodgers to
be their starting quarterback in twenty twenty five. Right, all
these list of names that are out there, and Daniel
(35:37):
Jones is out there maybe justin fields, all these other
names and Kirk Cousins, I guarantee you the Raiders will
get either Donald or Aaron Rodgers and Rogers been rumored there. Right,
the odds on him are going getting high. Devanta Adams
got let go today by the Jets, so hey, suddenly
we got to have something. But Tom Brady needs a win. Okay,
(36:00):
since he's come in, he's supposed to be the guy
that's gonna get the coaches to come and get the
quarterbacks to come. And what happened he met with Matthew Stafford,
either clandestinely or by accident. Hey, I'll fight you with
Starbucks over that. H didn't get Matthew Stafford. Ben Johnson
didn't get Ben Johnson. Tom Brady needs a win. And
(36:21):
the best quarterback out there in free agency is Sam Darnold.
The other guy that would fit that would be that
seems to have a little bit of interest is Rogers
because maybe the Raiders are gonna draft their quarterback. Maybe
they draft cam Ward at number six Shador Sanders because hey,
we're seeing these guys fall through the draft a little bit.
There's one of two philosophies for the Raiders. They either
get their quarterback now or they'll go get somebody for
(36:43):
a year and then draft their quarterback in the future.
And that's where those two guys fit. And Brady needs
a W. He is OH for two. He's a big
fat oh for two as Raiders owner. And then Mark
David saying this is like the in the in the
TV show where they go, hey, you're supposed to be
they bring in these guys and I know, get it
done or you're fired. I actually own the team. Yeah,
(37:04):
but it's more dramatic if I say you're fired. So
he needs a W. And the biggest W for Brady
is either to get the best quarterbacked out there in
Sam Donald or convinced the legend to come here for
a year. Right. Max Crosby said today getting Rogers would
be legendary if he came in to be the quarterback here.
So Max Crosby. When when your best player says something
(37:26):
like that, you get a sense he speaks for a
lot of the team. So these are the two wins
for Tom brad Now they're wins of a different level.
You win with Sam Donald, maybe you come in compete
right away. You win with Aaron Rodgers. Hey, maybe you're
okay for a year, but then you have your other
quarterback coming in. But they need to win soon. Pete
Carroll's you know, ninety six years old, right, didn't come
in for a big rebuild like they want to win now.
(37:47):
I guarantee you the Raiders get one of those two
guys to be their quarterbacks. This s ye yea.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
That's a bigger thing. It's not a long term reboot
in all of it. And Brady did actually get his wins, right.
Pete Carroll showed up and he got that guy, the
GM from Tampa, right, So I mean he's got at
least those. He's building infrastructure. The third win, I'll give
him the hat trick. Max Crosby didn't say that one
out of here. He said, I want to bring.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
You guy here. So that's got to be a win.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Look at the latest odds bet Online Giants the heavy
favorite for Rogers, followed by the Raiders at.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Less than two to one, seven to four.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Steelers, now third Titans five to one, and then it
balloons out to the Vikings for giggles, the Colts, and
then they add the Panthers, Browns and Saints just for
fun at forty to one each. But yeah, I think
when you look at two of those teams, when you
add the Giants to the mix as well, you've got
(38:43):
two situations where they're short short term fixes. Yeah, you're
drafting your long term proposition or reclamation project, whether it's
Daniel Jones or Justin Fields, but short term Giants need
to win. After last year's debac, both Shane and Dabile
have to be on the hot seat. Shane could be
(39:04):
replaced by his kid before it's all said and done.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
How about that? Sure? Him and Brick? Sure running the
New York New Jersey teams? Oh, Brick, Brick, Brick. Hey,
I saw the New York Post said about you. You
want to lay low a while, all right? You want
to make sure that happens.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
And as for the Raiders, you already mentioned Pete Carroll's age.
He's not there for hey, let's build a guy up
for six or seven years. We got to figure out
and we have to navigate the AFC West right now,
seeing what Denver became overnight, seeing what the Chargers are becoming,
and whatever receiver that they add to the mix for
(39:39):
Justin Herbert and the tweaks that they'll make as the
new calendar year for the league begins.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
So all that's safe.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Yeah, I mean Sam Darnold's the wildcard and all this right,
because there was still some chatter that the Vikings wanted
to sign him to a longer term deal or pay
him to stay around because you got the dollar cost
averaging with JJ mccon arty and all of those things.
But there's too many teams that are quarterback hungry. I
just listed what nine, and there's two or three guys right,
(40:09):
and the Justin Bils, Daniel Jones, and then you have.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
The new one. They need to win because they're built out.
All the other teams that are hiring coaches, they're all
starting over. It's like, hey, we don't have the sense
of urgency for one of these guys. The Raiders are like, uh,
we got to win that. Wait, but we've been terrible
for years I don't care. We got to win right now.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
You've got a couple of pieces of place aforementioned Crosby
and a couple of things. Defensively, You've got Jacoby Myers
who was pretty pretty great and brock Bauers was the
best rookie.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Tight end we've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
He was challenging Ditka records and stuff. So now you
bring in a QB that got a pretty good offensive line,
You've got an opportunity to at least be.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Interesting exit out about a Fresco exit swalling down the
Jason Smiths or with Mike Harmen guarantee Raiders Darnold or
Rogers book it. Rogers coming up next. How about a great,
big hot take for Lebron James after what he did tonight.
That's next Fall

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Lakers and the Pelicans. Lakers with an eighty three seventy
two lead way through the third quarter Lebron James point
number fifty thousand into night's game. Meanwhile, Luka Doncic twenty
six points, eleven assists, six rebounds. Yeah, he's got sixty yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
But his best play at the night, though, was when
he blocked a shot of Hawkins and the balls loose,
he grabs it and throws it off to get the
out of bounds and just signaled like it was a first.
He just smiled, I mean, and he just had that
look like, hey, yeah, I'm playing defense, dude, look at this.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
So we'll have more on this coming up. But in
the time, we've now spent the last twenty four hours
saying goodbye to the Oscars and saying hello to Combine.
We're getting ready for a free agency. The NFL Draft
is coming up. I started thinking about this, would it
be better because the Oscars seem like they're on their
way back. It was a lot of fun. The fun
seems to be back with the Oscar. The ratings were
(01:56):
what they were, but I mean a lot of viral moments.
He got a a lot of extra that needs to
be measured differently. You gotta understand, you gotta have movies
nominated that have fan bases that people you gotta have.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
I mean, the big winner was about the sex industry,
So I mean that should get people back, you know,
on their toes.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Sex sex is popular.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I mean, I will say, no matter what's going on
in the economy and in the rest of the world,
we can be fighting about a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Sex still wins. But I ask you this, what needs
to borrow from the other more? Does I was gonna
say Sex? Does the Oscars need to buy? I mean,
that's a whole other film industry. They have their own
awards in Vegas. Do the Oscars need to borrow from
the NFL draft? Or does the NFL draft need to
borrow from the Oscars? Okay, think about it, right, the
(02:43):
Oscars for it. Let let let let's think about this
part of it first. Right, if the NFL draft was
like the Oscars. Okay, the Oscars starts out and they
build towards the end, which is best actress, best Actor,
best Director, best film. And it's kind of right. It's
always rushed at the end because, oh, we spend so
much time. Let's honor the double Low seven. So we
(03:04):
don't need to honor the double Oh seventh series? What
the hell? Man?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I mean, I appreciated the two folks that they were
trying to show some love to.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
We don't need it, do that? I mean, have a
seventh James Brown we don't like, man.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I guess it timed up with the sale, like the
whole business of James bond that was announced last week
that has people.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Like, don't it? So everything gets bloated, so the end
is really rushed. Well, it's supposed to be the big
moment right now. The NFL Draft does the opposite. The
NFL draft is, hey, we start with a bang, and
then by the time we get to the mid point
in the first round, the names are out there, you're
really interested if your team is drafting, but the overall
interest is kind of waning. So the OSCARS starts slow
(03:42):
building to the end. The NFL Draft starts big and
Peter's out. Let's say the NFL draft did it like
the Oscars where before the before the draft they actually
had the first round. Okay, so we knew they picked
one through thirty two, trades everything else, right, it went on,
and we know everybody that was pad we don't. But
the NFL they all know all the teams one through
(04:04):
thirty two, They know who was picked in the first round.
And we start the first round of the draft counting
down from thirty two all the way to number one.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
So kind of like we actually play an NFL season. Yeah,
so when we have thirty go and then they you know,
they slough off and then we say to the big moment.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
We kick things off of the Super Bowl champion Eagles.
Here they are at number thirty two. Here's their pick.
You right, blah blah blah, and you go all the
way down. Oh and hey, just so you know, we
thought so and so was picking at twenty six. Hey,
a team traded to move up. So now this team
is picking here, and now you're building all the way
to number one. I think about what the drama would
be the two guys standing there at the end of
(04:43):
the three guys standing there for the top three picks
when they announced who's going to the announcement of number one.
Think about how cool that would be.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Roger Goodell breaks a pool Q and a half and says,
make it quick.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Who wants to see me make a pencil disappear? Now
that would be no, I got it.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I don't think you can keep leaks from screwing it
all up. It would probably it would have to be
a one day thing, like you have to do the
draft and then the next day is the is the
runw This is like a gorilla.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
You know, twenty four hour film. You keep some sort
of you keep some sort of lid on it for
however many for sixteen hours and then everything goes right,
no social media, none of this, none of this. And
see if you can do that? How cool would that be?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
If you can get all the war rooms to adhere
to this, no leaks, it would be brilliant. Then you
get a bunch of comedy sketches in the middle. Yeah,
you get the sandworm from Dune that will play a
couple of instruments for you. Sure, yeah, no, I kind
of dig this. Do we swap out Goodell for a comedian?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Uh? Yeah, yeah, no longer. I mean he could stand
on the stage to get the hugs like kevins I
would host the NFL, would host the NFL Draft here. Yeah,
that's what he would do.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Okay, it does enough commercials for them, mat Yeah, we
could do that. He's an Eagles fan though, so I
mean or or he'll be done early with his oh
that shirt. But he'd be excited thought the beginning, very exciting,
a lot of energy offen. He'll do a whole scale,
He'll do a whole sketches about different teams and what
goes on.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
How much can we get the coaches to participate? I
mean mcveigh's camera ready, so we know we got him.
He would do stuff like going, see this, Josh Allen, Look,
I'm gonna step right over this line. It's a first
at all. But I didn't get there. I didn't quite
get there with the football, Josh Allen, first out first, Oh,
I didn't quite get there.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Ben Johnson, he's got a mean streak in him, because
you see how he's talked about everybody, like he talked
about Laramie Tunsell throwing better spirals than Jared Goff while
on the move.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I would throw this football to Mark Andrews. But yet
I am exactly or should the Oscars borrow from the
NFL Draft where we open up we have the sketch
and boom, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Actor Actress, Film, Director, Film,
and then you do the other ones, and then the
(06:57):
whole night is reacting. Hey, we're backstage now with the
winner of the Best Director, blah blah blah. Hey, here's
Best Actor interviews with him, and you build that way
and that becomes the night.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
And then there's Days two and three are like the
Technical Awards, where they've already been given out that we're
just playing a tape.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I actually have that idea. But uh, but but the
first things first, because you would you would definitely have
more people watching early on, and you'd be able to
get more mileage out of what the winners are earlier
on in the broadcast. So maybe the NFL should borrow
from the Oscars and the Oscar bar from the NFL,
and and they do it the opposite ways. The last
(07:33):
guy in the green room has to do his best
John Lithgow sad face and pressire o. Yeah yeah, yeah, John, Yeah,
that would that would come right across you. If not,
Pete Carroll is going to give you a disappointed face
if he doesn't like your draft pick.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
What if we change the venue too, Like the NFL Draft,
it's in a different city every year for the Oscars.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I like, Yeah, here's the Oscar down, here's Opere You're sure,
Oh yeah, see Now it's just like those other film
awards in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I like the cutting all that is. Now you said
another idea, Okay, so here's my third idea with it,
is that borrowing from each one barring from the other.
What if the Oscars was two nights. Okay, follow me
on this, because the NFL Draft has shown that, hey,
why should we own one day when we can own
(08:26):
an entire weekend. People are still going to pay attention
to Day two, Day three, not quite with the attention
they spend on Day one, but still it's your day event. Sure,
why not extended? Right? The NBA has figured that out
here you we're gonna extend all the playoff rounds. We're
going to extend that, right, extend. Look at all Star weekends.
Four days of activity, so why and no games? And
there's no games, So it doesn't matter if you were
(08:49):
you were the Oscars. You have two shows. You have
a show on Sunday night, and the first show is
all the technical awards, give away all the technical awards,
and you end with taking the ten nominees for Best Film,
cutting them down to five. So you announced the five
finalists film Pro Football Hall of Fame, and you also
(09:12):
announced the nominees for director. So you don't nominated, so
you don't know, you don't know anything about who's nominated
for director. But you have the ten films that are nominated,
and you end your big thing is ending with, hey,
we're cutting the films down to the five finalists. And
here are the directors who are nominated for Best Director.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Now, if we do the cut down to the final five,
do we get a people's court like interview in the
hallway of the five films that just got cut the
most inebriated member of the crew that has come to
the opposite Yes, yes, it has to be the one.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
If you said, if you send the guy that screwed
up the card for Moonlight, that's who you get to
do the interviews right there. I like this. So you
have the first day and it's still hosted by by
a big comedian. Everybody, everybody shows up, right, you can
have this can be a two and a half two
hour and forty five minute show. You can do some
songs that are nominated for Best Song if you wanted
to do that and give that award out. But you
(10:04):
save all the acting awards, and then the second Oscars
following Sunday is all the Acting awards, Best Director, Best for.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Wow, two weeks of partying. But I mean, think about
what you've now done. But now traffic of the city
though it's Sunday, but it's on a Sunday, but they
shut down that they shut down the.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Whole area for a week. We can close. It's fine
you Guid's oscar man, I can't stumble over.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
You would might have set up some kind of bunko,
Hey make your own star thing on the Walk of Vey.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
You would own the week because you would have all
the anticipation going into the first Oscars. You have the
first Oscars, and maybe what you do then is maybe
you take the songs and put them in the second broadcast. Right,
you do that, You do all the the awards. You
can even end the first Oscars with one or two
with one of the Supporting Actor or Actress awards, like
you give the one big one at the end, and
(10:56):
while that person wouldn't be a part of the big
Oscars next week, they would have a whole week of
storylines themselves. We do all kinds of interviews. Hey, so
and so who won for Best Supporting Actress? Boom boom boom.
They own the week. And then you have a whole
week of leading up to the Oscars on the next Sunday,
different host right, different sketches, different stuff going on. You
give away the actors awards. Maybe that's when you have
(11:18):
the songs, because that would be fun to see the
best songs performed, and then you give away the actors,
and then you have another day of it, and then
you have the day after. Hey, which show was better?
Which host was better? That you taken the oscars and
turn it into from a one day thing into a
week plus event.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
But here's the pressure on you. Now you have two
opportunities to piss people off by omitting someone from the
in Memoriam.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Wells that show. I think you run the in Memoriam
and then if you miss people, you run them the
following side.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yeah, but now those guys are with the people you
forgot are being run with the Best Actor.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
And those awards.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
So it's it's kind of incongruous because normally you run
the folks that had the bigger impact, and you've already
you know, gotten rid of those of the week.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Okay, all right, well, I mean it's a trade off.
It would be a short one. Here's a week long. Yeah,
and you really want to fill some days you just
have Adrian Brody talk. Oh yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
That's still going such like Frees sitting on hold for
us like he did for all those years.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
The week is easy? What was longer? Wicked? The movie
or agent Adam speech. Yeah, I think, yeah, yeah, I
think any speak. What did they get like twenty four
minutes to do their opening songs or something like that?
Felt like it.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
But look now then you have which is fine. I
mean they were great, but you have two. You have
two TV shows.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Obviously the second Oscars would be more viewed than the first,
but that's okay, right, you still would have a big audience,
still big stars going. And then the second one. He
let guys go up there and talk for five minutes.
Let whoever. You're giving away four five big awards, five
big awards, and you're letting people perform and you can
do sketches. That's a two hour and forty five minute.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Show, right, Well, when you go up to do your speech,
you get to give your speech, and then you have
to play improv for three minutes. Yes end, Yes, I'm
looking for a and you start yelling out suggestions like
you're in ted yes end.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Or you you could do stuff like hey, uh, after
you give away your best actor best supporting actor, you
go up to Hey, Edward Norton, you look really upset
you didn't win. Are you really mad? No? That's it. Yeah,
have an instant reaction from the losers. NFL figured out
a way we can now own the whole weekend, and
now Hollywood can own the whole NFL is actually entertaining.
That's the problem. But you know, you get the Oscars.
(13:26):
People would want to see how you get down to
five films and the five No, I think you could
do that. Hey say, hey, what's your drink of choice?
You just lost. I'm trying to improve. I'm trying to
improve the viewers because they would still get twenty million
people to watch the second Oscars. You would get ten
million people to watch the first one. Maybe again, maybe more,
because you're announcing the best pictures, you're announcing the best directors,
and you are giving away one of the two big
(13:48):
acting awards because you're giving a Best Supporting Actor or actress,
and you flip flop that everywhere.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Well, and I'm forcing them to give you a tutorial
by doing some improv that doesn't have a scripted scene.
He's got to he's got to actually do some work here.
You want to go home with that oscar start acting?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
So there you go. Just some ideas, just some ideas
right there. I like this for each thing to borrow
from the other little Donnie Brook going on right now
in La Lakers with a twenty point lead. Dalton connect
is on the floor, looks like he is getting up.
The two teams kind of pushing each other back and forth. Yeah,
(14:25):
referees broke it up and Luca decides to dunk. Yeah
on the Pelicans. Look at my springs man. The two
sides have been separated after a little bit of a
dust up under the hoop, and Luca decides to just
dunk for no reason. He looks out right. Yeah. Uh so,
we'll have more on this coming up next as well
as the biggest sporting event of the night is something
(14:50):
you're probably not aware of, and you're gonna be stunned.
We tell you what happened. That's coming up next right here.

here we sit right now. We mentioned a few minutes
(16:23):
ago little bit of a back and forth after a
hard foul on Dalton connect who cups by the way?
I think he's so evident, said he cups.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Either that or he got pelted from the third row,
or there's paintball games that they play.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Knowing they were playing the Pelicans tonight. Hey, Howie Roseman
turn around, So he gets fouled hard from behind. There's
a bit of a blow up underneath, the sides get
separated and Luka Dacch decides to just dunk the basketball
and the Pelicans.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
It was I mean, he's feeling it, There's no question
about it. So he was like, yeah, you're all right both.
I mean, it's a bit of a hard foul, but
it becomes the right interpretation. Was he trying to wrap
him up where as he's going up with the ball.
Was he just too slow? Is it a dirty play
because he gets a bunch of the arm. But whenever
anybody hits the floor, you know, you got to have
(17:13):
a little dust up, especially when it's a twenty point
burial frustrations running high.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, boy, the Pelican's really celebrating a big hoop by
Zion Williams. He's got twenty eight, but they're down sixteen,
getting set for the fourth quarter. Lukadancic on his way
to what could be a triple double thirty points, fourteen assists,
And I thought he was a rebound. He's got in shape,
he got a changed talking beers. I told you, I
(17:38):
told you he was. They were going to be great.
I told you they were gonna be great. I told
you that.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
I also questioned about how quote out of shape he
really ever was.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Well, because he wears a lot of bag. He's stuck.
Ks are just dumb. The Jameis Winston picture, Oh you look.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Really heavy though, Like it's not like he wears these
form fitting T shirt.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
It's what but being in shape is not about how
cut you are muscular. It's about having the stamina and
being strong enough to withstand the pounding and going up
and down the court. That's the whole thing, which was
with forty plus minutes every year. Yeah, but the but
the concern for the Mavericks was, oh can we give
him three hundred million dollars and think as he gets
(18:20):
older he's gonna take care of his body. He didn't
do it for the first six seven years he was here.
What makes you think he's gonna do it well?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
But, as I've argued from day one, right if he
was thirty one right now, i'd be having that question.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
If the Mavericks weren't faced with the deadline of this
is the contract he wants us offseason, they would have
still found a way to try to make it work
with Luca. But they were faced with this, with this
deadline of hey, he's eligible for three hundred million dollars.
We don't know if he even wants to stay. Because
that was part of it tow what are you gonna do?
I mean, which I think, which I can't. I think
that was.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
More of the Dallas subterfusion. The in the final minutes
of all of this. I don't know how to justify it.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Didn't Lucas say the night of the first press conference
was I always knew.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It was gonna end this way, Uh, which means I
don't think you trusted old Nico. I think if you
named Michael Finley with the beer, if you knew that
it was gonna end with you being on another team.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Were you really gonna resign there, or we're you gonna
try to find a way to get somebody. We're gonna
have a long career, you know that. But that might
have thing is that if if there was no deadline
and it was we can still work things out, we
can say, okay, we love you, Luca, here's more, then
it would be different. But they were faced with making
a big decision and it was we lose this guy
for nothing, and instead you get an All NBA player
(19:31):
who albeit does have injury concerns, but you also free
up a lot of money. Then now you don't have
to spend on Luca that you can spend on another
star this offseason. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I also do like the conspiracy theories though in terms
of the ownership and and everything they're trying to do
to just say, right, we get we get Davis and
maybe we'll win a little bit here, but if it
goes bad, maybe people hate us, and uh we can
try to force a move or for some concessions from
the NBA and the and Texas as we try to
(20:01):
hold the new arena. Hey, I am all for the
Mavericks just abandoning the season, abandoned.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
This point pretty much did kind of like the Cleveland Spiders, right,
they're the worst team ever. They abandoned the like they
just stop showing up. Like you look at what the
last few weeks has been for the Cavaliers. It's the
side Mavericks. It's for the Mavericks. It's the side show
Bob meme of stepping on the rakes but on steroids. Right, okay,
(20:27):
pretty good. Here's Luca is all right, we're coming off
the NBA finals. All right, Greg, what happens now? Luca's
heard He's not playing. Okay, Luca's not getting along with
Anybody's not taking care of his body. Boom stepping on
a rake. Okay, Uh, we're gonna trade Luca boy really
stepping on rakes because nobody likes it. The fans don't
like it, the media doesn't like it. Nobody likes this trade. Yeah,
but we got a D. Okay, we got a D.
(20:47):
We're gonna be great. AD's dominant. His first game gets hurt,
he's out step on another rake. Okay, all right, we're
still figuring things out. We got Kyrie evering. We're awesome.
Oh yeah, we're gonna announce an increase in prices for
season tickets. Bam, another rake to the face. Oh what
are we gonna do now? You're stumbling around, stumbling around? Yeah,
but we still got Kyrie, We're still holding onto the
ten spot. Bam. Kyrie finds out today torn a cl
(21:07):
out for the year. They cannot get out of their
own don't forget the sandstorm. This is well yeah, well
that's the whole city of Dallas. That's what happens. It
looks like that scene. It looks like that scene from
uh A Ghost Protocol Mission Impossible for when he's running
from the sand that's gonna go this mummy spreading Fraser
(21:28):
scabs scribs. I I cannot remind remember a season for
a team that's gone so unfortunate. I can't say bad,
because lots teams have bad years and win eight nine games,
But this is a series of unfortunate events, this lemony
snicket like to to the extreme. I've not remember a
team in the NBA that had such a bad, a
(21:50):
challenging year and and have all of these things happen,
whether it's of their own doing or something that happens
to them outside like this is his bad. This is
I can't keep saying bad because bad implies record wise.
I mean this this I guess, Yeah, I guess a
series of unfortunate events. That's the best way to describe
the series. For the matter, I can't remember a season
(22:12):
that a team has had like this ever in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah, I mean the ad, the Lively and Gafford injuries
to guys that were supposed to help on the front line.
And that was part of the arguments we were making
and talking about how Dallas in the moment did pretty well.
Uh so, yeah, everything has gone asunder Tonight they get
the The one big win is that SMU took down
your Syracuse Orange.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
We're not going anywhere. We're gonna lose in the first
game of the Ages. It's not giving you an extra dream.
I'm I'm happy for Dallas. I'm happy for Dallas. We're
taking for arch Manning, but I'm happy for dal Now.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Frostberg wanted to know if you were talking about Jimminy cricket,
and it's like, no, no, no, it's the Lemony Snicket
and the series of unfortunate events.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Lemony Snicket and Jimmy cricket sounds like something that that
ad Rock would make rhyme in a Beastie Boys song.
That's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah, positive, and then the uh stealing the fortune from
the orphans.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Say say, I'm unfortunate like Lemony Snicket, but me I'm
gonna live to one oh five like Jiminy cricket.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
But there's no happy endings, not here and not now.
This tale is all sorrow and.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Whoa, that's not Beastie Boys. Beastie Boys is more about
alcohol and women, yea, and going to White Castle like the.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Dreamed that justice swin the day. But that's not how
this story goes White Castle. They can do it more
dramatic song for video later.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, but that's a right. I don't need to be
that dramatic. I just needed to be you know, rhymes
to many cricket and we go to white Castle. We
went to White Castle. I got my boy Mike d
I got a kick Ahead Rock, I got a Jimmy
with them. Uh so, but yeah, just the misery.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I mean, we could go back to what what the
Nets had to a degree, we could talk about the
decade of the process, because you want to talk about teases.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I mean that's better than any radio teas you'll ever do.
It's better than any of the movie.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Stuff we were talking about before, trailers and teasers and
and well again that takes us back to Vegas again.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
But all of that to say.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
This, this has just been miserable. I mean, I know
our Brehanna's back there watching her sons, and this season
has been an abject failure there when you at least
looking at the three stars you assembled that you thought
you had hope, Instead, what did you have? I don't
want to move and I'm not waving my no trade plause,
so beat it, Boundlezer. You're dealing with misery and now
(24:34):
you're fighting with Devin Booker every other day. So it's
like that that's a I guess at least along the
same vein. But at least those guys are still available
and you can still hope that you come to some
consensus of how you proceed for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Here, it's like, what happened That guy's gone? What about
the guy that came in?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, he's gone, he's gone to What about the guy
that was picking up some of the slack and and
moving the ball and distributing and we were playing well.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Oh that thy wait wait wait, hang on, hang on
hand yeah, oh he's gone to Yeah so I thought
he had him for I thought he had him for
a second. No, it's like the Maddy Python cheese catch.
Do you have camon bear? Hang on, No, no, we
don't have that. What about eating cheese? No cheese swiss?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
What about smoke gooda smoke good to smoke good? Yeah,
I think we had Oh no, no, no we don't
have that either. No, no, that would be your worst nightmare. No, yeah,
no cheese, list of no cheeses. Now they had only
the vegan cheese. Fake it you know, No, no, no,
I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you this, right, yeah,
I'll give you this unexpected Cheddar. Unexpected unexpected cheddar. Buy it.
(25:40):
You will thank me later. Unexpected unexpected Cheddar. All right,
it's you can eat it in a block, you can
put it in chili, you can train, you can eat
it on a plane. You can eat it with a
guy named Gus. You can eat it on a bus
off the subway floor. Sure yeah you can't. Sure? Oh yeah, yeah, dude,
unexpected cheddar.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Heyy do that like Jesse Jackson did on Saturday Life.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
The question is moot uh. Now, from this side to
the flip side of the NBA, I've never seen a
fourth quarter run, at least I can't remember in the
NBA when I've ever seen a fourth quarter run like
what the Cavaliers did tonight to your Chicago Bulls. Unbelievable.
The game is tied at one oh seven with six
(26:23):
and a half minutes left to go, right, so obviously
not a great night for the Cavaliers. Look, the Bulls
are terrible. The Cavaliers are the best team in the
Eastern Conference, and Donovan Mitchell's on the bench. Okay, one
oh seven, one oh seven, Yeah, not quite what you
expect it, but you still maybe the Cavaliers will pull
it out. But fun game. And the Cavaliers go on
a run in the next ninety seconds of real time,
(26:44):
I don't mean game time. In the next ninety seconds
of real time they go from one oh seven to
one oh seven, and the Cavaliers are up one to sixteen,
one oh seven, nine points and ninety seconds of real time.
They finished the game in the last six and a
half minutes on a thirty two to ten run. Thirty
(27:05):
two points in the last six minutes. Okay, this is
to what this this what this comes out to about
two hundred and forty points in an NBA game. I've
not sprong. Wow, I know the math is tough, but
I struggle. Look at you did well? I mean look,
I hey, hey, I took AP Calculus. I took all
the AP masks. Don't don't. I don't ask if I
(27:27):
got credit for the AP test. But I took all
the math classes and I did well. I've got in
the nineties, right, I'd really good. Yeah, yeah, the tests
were just too hard. So well, well, if if it
would take twos, i'd be okay. But no, dose schools
would take two.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
No, no, no, you needed that pesky three to get out
Take it two.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Come on, come on, come on, come on. I completed
and I put in the time. Give me something like
I got a one. Come on, I got two. You
give me that point for the effort. But the whole
thing is that the Cavaliers. Any doubts this is the
best offense in the NBA are none. And no, it's
not a lot of players that you heard of. We
still look at what the Celtics are doing and Jokic
(28:06):
and the Thunder when you watch uh shake Gilders Alexander
score fifty points every other game now, But this Cavaliers
offense is insanely good when you when you can go now,
not even the Warriors at their best, can I see
them going on a run like this? Like this is
how good this offense is. There's a reason why they
lead the NBA in points per game. To go on
(28:26):
a thirty two to ten run in again, And it's
not like it's a run where hey, everybody was up
and down the floor of the whole game and we
just go on this big run at the end. This
was a tight one oh seven, one oh seven game
and things weren't going their way because this is Hey,
if you were if you if you bet on the
bulls that you were like, hey, I'm feeling pretty good,
pretty good at home, I got it. No, and instead
you wind up getting destroyed. This is the last six
(28:48):
and a half minutes of the game that was not
going well. They turn it on and go on a
thirty two to ten run. I mean, sir, you're talking
about a sixty four point quarter, right, and that sixty
four times four is two forty six that's a two
hundred fifty six point game, right, So done now that
you could do that? Good, that's what That's what they did.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, Lifethetirack dot Com Studios. Coming up next,
a bold prediction for one NFL team who is going
to land one of the top quarterbacks in free agency.
I guarantee it. Why because they have to. That's next.
Jason to Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon, Hobo Lifthetirack dot Com Studios. We get
back into a huge milestone from the NBA tonight coming
up in about ten minutes, including what could be next
after this milestone. Lakers lead the Pelicans one thirty one
to one oh five. It doesn't like Luca Donci is
(34:54):
going to get that triple double. Yeah, that's right, overrated,
thirty fifteen and eight rebounds from ye and a half.
You're a loser. Yah, Yeah, losing half a point, baby,
but Lebron with thirty four in a night where he
scored his fifty thousandth point in the NBA. We'll have
more on this game coming up in a few minutes.
(35:16):
But with Sam Donald not getting the franchise tagged, which
we knew last night. We talked without on the show.
I'll tell you this, I guarantee you the Raiders are
going to either get Sam Donald or Aaron Rodgers to
be their starting quarterback in twenty twenty five. Right, all
these list of names that are out there, and Daniel
(35:37):
Jones is out there maybe justin fields, all these other
names and Kirk Cousins, I guarantee you the Raiders will
get either Donald or Aaron Rodgers and Rogers been rumored there. Right,
the odds on him are going getting high. Devanta Adams
got let go today by the Jets, so hey, suddenly
we got to have something. But Tom Brady needs a win. Okay,
(36:00):
since he's come in, he's supposed to be the guy
that's gonna get the coaches to come and get the
quarterbacks to come. And what happened he met with Matthew Stafford,
either clandestinely or by accident. Hey, I'll fight you with
Starbucks over that. H didn't get Matthew Stafford. Ben Johnson
didn't get Ben Johnson. Tom Brady needs a win. And
(36:21):
the best quarterback out there in free agency is Sam Darnold.
The other guy that would fit that would be that
seems to have a little bit of interest is Rogers
because maybe the Raiders are gonna draft their quarterback. Maybe
they draft cam Ward at number six Shador Sanders because hey,
we're seeing these guys fall through the draft a little bit.
There's one of two philosophies for the Raiders. They either
get their quarterback now or they'll go get somebody for
(36:43):
a year and then draft their quarterback in the future.
And that's where those two guys fit. And Brady needs
a W. He is OH for two. He's a big
fat oh for two as Raiders owner. And then Mark
David saying this is like the in the in the
TV show where they go, hey, you're supposed to be
they bring in these guys and I know, get it
done or you're fired. I actually own the team. Yeah,
(37:04):
but it's more dramatic if I say you're fired. So
he needs a W. And the biggest W for Brady
is either to get the best quarterbacked out there in
Sam Donald or convinced the legend to come here for
a year. Right. Max Crosby said today getting Rogers would
be legendary if he came in to be the quarterback here.
So Max Crosby. When when your best player says something
(37:26):
like that, you get a sense he speaks for a
lot of the team. So these are the two wins
for Tom brad Now they're wins of a different level.
You win with Sam Donald, maybe you come in compete
right away. You win with Aaron Rodgers. Hey, maybe you're
okay for a year, but then you have your other
quarterback coming in. But they need to win soon. Pete
Carroll's you know, ninety six years old, right, didn't come
in for a big rebuild like they want to win now.
(37:47):
I guarantee you the Raiders get one of those two
guys to be their quarterbacks. This s ye yea.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
That's a bigger thing. It's not a long term reboot
in all of it. And Brady did actually get his wins, right.
Pete Carroll showed up and he got that guy, the
GM from Tampa, right, So I mean he's got at
least those. He's building infrastructure. The third win, I'll give
him the hat trick. Max Crosby didn't say that one
out of here. He said, I want to bring.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
You guy here. So that's got to be a win.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Look at the latest odds bet Online Giants the heavy
favorite for Rogers, followed by the Raiders at.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Less than two to one, seven to four.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Steelers, now third Titans five to one, and then it
balloons out to the Vikings for giggles, the Colts, and
then they add the Panthers, Browns and Saints just for
fun at forty to one each. But yeah, I think
when you look at two of those teams, when you
add the Giants to the mix as well, you've got
(38:43):
two situations where they're short short term fixes. Yeah, you're
drafting your long term proposition or reclamation project, whether it's
Daniel Jones or Justin Fields, but short term Giants need
to win. After last year's debac, both Shane and Dabile
have to be on the hot seat. Shane could be
(39:04):
replaced by his kid before it's all said and done.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
How about that? Sure? Him and Brick? Sure running the
New York New Jersey teams? Oh, Brick, Brick, Brick. Hey,
I saw the New York Post said about you. You
want to lay low a while, all right? You want
to make sure that happens.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
And as for the Raiders, you already mentioned Pete Carroll's age.
He's not there for hey, let's build a guy up
for six or seven years. We got to figure out
and we have to navigate the AFC West right now,
seeing what Denver became overnight, seeing what the Chargers are becoming,
and whatever receiver that they add to the mix for
(39:39):
Justin Herbert and the tweaks that they'll make as the
new calendar year for the league begins.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
So all that's safe.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Yeah, I mean Sam Darnold's the wildcard and all this right,
because there was still some chatter that the Vikings wanted
to sign him to a longer term deal or pay
him to stay around because you got the dollar cost
averaging with JJ mccon arty and all of those things.
But there's too many teams that are quarterback hungry. I
just listed what nine, and there's two or three guys right,
(40:09):
and the Justin Bils, Daniel Jones, and then you have.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
The new one. They need to win because they're built out.
All the other teams that are hiring coaches, they're all
starting over. It's like, hey, we don't have the sense
of urgency for one of these guys. The Raiders are like, uh,
we got to win that. Wait, but we've been terrible
for years I don't care. We got to win right now.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
You've got a couple of pieces of place aforementioned Crosby
and a couple of things. Defensively, You've got Jacoby Myers
who was pretty pretty great and brock Bauers was the
best rookie.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Tight end we've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
He was challenging Ditka records and stuff. So now you
bring in a QB that got a pretty good offensive line,
You've got an opportunity to at least be.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Interesting exit out about a Fresco exit swalling down the
Jason Smiths or with Mike Harmen guarantee Raiders Darnold or
Rogers book it. Rogers coming up next. How about a great,
big hot take for Lebron James after what he did tonight.
That's next Fall
