You know, in the last moment, as we're watching our
monitors here, Smith, I had something that I don't know
that I've ever experienced in my life. Okay, wow, Okay,
that's a heavy one. But what do you got hair envy? Oh?
I got dustin may on the mound and the flowing locks. Okay,
it's something I could ever pull off. A couple of
reasons why why I'm a short man Yeah, short man
(01:09):
with long hair looks stupid. No, you could still have
long hair. Nah, you look dope unless you're dancing.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
No, you know, do you get Ronnie James Dio had
long hair. He was fine.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
He was only like five actually, no, he was. He
was like five to two. Man. Wow, he's like a
lot of Hollywood actress.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
You just gotta you just you gotta have like you
gotta have a certain body type.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Well, but that's what I mean. Though, you're tall, like
the Hamburgler you're walking around. I never never, never never.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Why Why is Harmon wearing a black cape and he
has goggles a lot out?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
He's the Hamburglar. You just gave away my outfit for
wrestle Maineia. What are you doing? Come on, I had
it all worked out. I gotta come up with something different.
So he's speaking of Hamburglar. I got I got a right,
Oh boy, all right, speak you give the Hamburgerer. I
have a good McDonald's story for you for a second.
That's a great segue again. Radio. So today was a
(02:04):
blood drive of my daughter's school. I always go and
give blood, right every eight weeks they go and I go,
and I you know, say out here for Zoe. Okay, great,
you here, great, everybody needs letting go.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
And I sit down and I give blood and I
go and I sit at the sit at the table
for fifteen minutes before you have lee every time you
go give blood some of the table. And there's a
bunch of other kids that are sitting there and they're
all talking, and there are.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
There's a bunch of kids. You well, you like, No, no,
you're okay. The thing is the table is for people
who have given blood and lead. So there are kids
who came and gave blood before or in between class,
and now they're going back to Chelsea. So I'm there.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
There's another adult here, but there's a bunch of kids
sitting there. So I'm sitting there on my phone and
they're arguing over Grimace. They're arguing about Grimace. I love Grimace,
and the one keeps going Grimace is a small one
right now, Now, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
You? But I love Grimace.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Grimmat No, Grimace is the I love Grimace, but Grimace
is the small one.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Hey, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So I'm sitting here, I'm not eg but they keep
talking about Grimace and I'm turning and I finally turn
around when when when one of the people comes over
starts asking us if we're ready to here?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, are you feeling ready to leave? For look? And
he said no, no, no, And one of the kids goes, yeah,
we're talking about Grimace. I go listen, Grimace is purple.
It's the big one. It's the Mets mascot. And the
girl looks at me.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
He goes, what, and I said, Grim's The message goes, oh,
oh no, no, this is this is someone's dog that
they named Grimace. And she shows me that the all
like a bunch of dogs, and Grimace is the small one,
and I go, oh, is the dog used to be
Purple's just no, it's okay, I'm gonna leave.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm feeling good. I'm gonna leave now, I'm gonna leave. Okay.
I thought it was gonna be the time to show
your expertise of the McDonald characters. Listen, you want to
talk about Mayor mccheese. You're talking about a guy that
should have never gotten a second term. Mayor mccheese is
the guy. And don't drink out of those lead glasses
you can buy at eBay from the seventies it's all
kinds of asses in him. You can put one on
(04:01):
your tongue and your lips would fall off. Which is
the worst real re election? Eight seven seven nine? Yeah,
is it mayor mayor mccheese, or is it the guy
of Amity Island in Jaws? Are they gonna say Guy
Fieri being re elected the mayor of Flavor Toown? No? No,
that's a lifetime institution. He's like a Supreme Court yet. Okay, yeah,
say he is the mayor. You know I could.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I didn't know this, but I get, you know, drops
when it come for hats all the time, and they
sent me a thing. I can get a Mets Flavor
toown hat. Like there's a Mets how just not your
head tonight? Well I just saw it yesterday.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I mean, then I bring it to my house. He's
friends with our guy Jay Glazer. Next week we diduld
get hey, get fi to uh to give us a
little buffet here for the draft? How about that? Here's
the thing. Come on, let's let's keep building this up.
And he can give you a hat. I get that.
But for the draft next week, I got to focus
on Joe Douglas being your former Jets GM is going
(04:55):
to be in studio, I know, doing the draft before
our show.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I got to figure out what I'm gonna say to him,
how I'm gonna say it if he wants to talk
to me, because maybe maybe he thinks about me, Like
JJ Reddick, does you know who hates me?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
So? I mean I maybe, I mean maybe Joe DIDs
oh you and he just walks right by me. I mean,
because we've done a lot of stuff on the Cardinals organization,
and last year Steve Khime was here. He's very pleasant.
You were good to Steve Kime. You're You're okay, You're
you're good to Steve Kyme. It's okay. But I like
what I mean, I had commentary prior to such that
(05:27):
might have led to not quite a Reddick situation, like
I'm going to it?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Do I do I buy off of eBay for like
eight cents a Zach Wilson Jets jersey and wear it
in next Thursday?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Like?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Do I wear that next Thursday?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Oh? That would be so bad?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Joe, will you signed by Zach Wilson Jersey on the
number we signed in the middle of the two right there.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Thanks. I appreciate that. Thank you. I kind of dig that, Yeah,
buy a couple of discount draft pick jerseys of guys
that didn't make it, and like do that amalgam like
they do with the Fearsome Forsome and stuff, and come
walking and going, Joe, I don't think you liked that. No,
I got a feeling like, but I mean, I think
(06:08):
we can go viral for whatever the reaction. I think
our draft coverage, I mean, which is always legendary and
top rated Former Brilliant would just take another.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
TMG's headline would be former NFL GM Attax radio host
and then then then the font under would say longtime
fan of team upsets GM in commercial break.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The second half of the first round really went off
the record. Smith, what happened? Okay? He was waiting, Okay,
we normally come on afterwards. So here's what happened. They
were doing the draft show and all of a sudden,
at pick number twenty four, Jason Smith comes in wearing
a mic white jersey, starts yelling, why didn't you give
(06:56):
it more of a chance we could? We weren't sure
if he was he's imitating the late Jerry Stiller or
not got rocket for it? How could you train ja bude.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
They kept saying, get Ken Phelps, get the best hut
back to home run ratio in the history of the game.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Get Ken Felps. So here's what you're gonna need to do.
I'm gonna I'm gonna have to, you know, request this
for next week, once we know exactly when we're coming
on air. You come in five minutes before that. Okay, okay,
someone will be at meat at the back door. Let
you in like you're entering a concert venue. They'll take
your cape, put it off to the side. Hey, Joe,
(07:37):
great show, it's over. You want to leave?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Well, I was gonna stick around here. No, I think Joe,
I think you should You should go, Joe, I think
I think you should go. I'm just saying I think
it might be okay.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I think he's gonna be I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I'll wear all my jets. Do you think we get
him to stay for a segment. It might be one
of those things where he says, okay, I'll stay, but
no jets talk. Oh well, all right, we're good.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
We're good. Then we're good. All right, Well we'll just
go on. Should we go? Find some of those lost
Super Bowl interviews of the guys that didn't want to
answer questions about different things. I mean, Joe Douglas is
gonna be here. It's gonna be great. I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Uh So it will be fun now, Glaize LeVar, Jenny Tag,
it'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Starts right after it, right after great, and we'll rip
your GMS now speaking of miss matcnill. Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Today in the NBA, hey, now what we got. We
got big NFL story coming up in a few minutes.
But today in the NBA the Sons fired head coach
Mike Budenholz. Yeah they did. Just think about this for
a second again. Sometimes teams exist because you need to
be reminded that, at least you're not rooting for this team.
I'm not lying when I say in the NBA they
(08:50):
may be no bigger tire fire than the Phoenix Suns organization.
Because this is a franchise. Now, third straight year, they're
gonna be looking for a new head coach. They gave
Buttonholeser a five year, fifty million dollar contract and after
one year, it's yeah, we got to move on, right.
Apparently he couldn't get along with a lot of the stars.
(09:10):
He couldn't get along with Devin Booker and the Sons
have decided they're gonna rebuild around Booker.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Good for good for Budenholeser, though, I mean, come on,
forty million dollars to go walk away? But what come
on now? The son? You know I was focusing on
the positive then bag can? I mean I think I
was talking about players with their uh you know contract
Hall of Fame. There's a buttonholes.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
There's so many bad Look, there's so many teams that
that in the NBA are having all kinds of difficulty,
but no more than the Sons who have kind of
this cutting paste aggressiveness. Uh is their strategy where it's just, oh,
we need to get better, so let's do this.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
We're gonna cut and paste. Well wait, how about a
little bit?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
No, no, no, who's oh Buttonholeser won a championship, Let's
bring him him five year done. Nobody was going crazy
to hire Mike Butdenhols and we gave him all that money.
Let's go get Bill.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Is it gonna work? I don't know. It's go get Kevin? Right.
Is it gonna work? I don't know?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
And the Suns have been a train wreck. Right the
NBA Finals appearance three years ago feels like it's like
twenty five years ago. And you know, look they're up
to zip over the Bucks and they've never really made
it back from there because Chris Paul got tired and
that was it on the games this year. Yeah, I mean,
the Sons are gonna continue to try to reload on
the fly because that's Matt Eshbia and what he wants
(10:24):
to do in Phoenix. He's so reactionary. And that's what
I mean where it's like a it's a cut and
paste aggressiveness where you have to have a plan and say, Okay,
this is what we're going to do. We're gonna we know,
we're gonna stink. We're gonna accumulate assets, draft picks and
in a couple of years, look where look at what
the Houston Rockets did, right Roggets. Okay, we're done, We're
past the James Hardener moving on. What are we gonna do.
We're gonna bring some young guys in, We're gonna we're
(10:46):
gonna make smart free agent signings and Fred van Vliet
and a couple other guys. Okay, now that's where Kd's
gonna jump next year. You know he's gonna be on
the rockets. That's how you have to do it. And
the sons just know we're gonna throw money at stuff
and bring guys in. I would listen to off for
Devin Booker too. The guy's been in the league a decade. Yes,
is he a terrific score. Terrific score. But you've been
to the top of the mountain with Devin Booker, right,
(11:07):
And if you can get something that bowls you over
because somebody feels they're a Devin Booker away, Hey, you
know what, go ahead and do it. Move on from
Bradley Beal, move on from Kevin Durant, start over again.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Start.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You have to take this down to zero, take it
down to the studs and start over, because at least
you'll have a plan. When you keep trying to reload
on the fly and you stink, you have to realize
reloading on the fly doesn't work, so you have to
find something new. It's the philosophy of when you have
a player's head coach and then his message gets a
little lost and the players tune them out. You bring
(11:40):
in more of a disciplinarian. Then when that message gets
tuned out and you go back to a player's gud.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It's kind of the.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Same way when you reload on the fly and that
strategy's not working. Now you have to break it down
to the studs. Then you bring down to the studs
that strategy's not working. You reload on the fly and
eventually you find something out. But man, what a tire fire.
The suns are ye three head coaches three years. You're
getting rid of all your superstars and try this. I mean,
this is just an absolute mess when you think of
(12:07):
what they have to come back from. At least other
teams that are in bad shape, they don't have anything,
so they could just start up from zero. This is
we got to get it down to zero and then
bring it back up.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah. The hard part is like you're building a bad infrastructure, right.
It's like if you go and I mean years ago
we took the bite at the Apple trying to build
fantasy sports games and apps and everything else, but there
was a reticence to just scraped the original six to
eight months of coding, just figure out how to fix
(12:36):
it and build from there. Well, it didn't work because
there were all sorts of holes and bad code, so
it would crash, right, You'd be in the middle of
the draft round three. All right, I'm gonna take same thing.
And whatever business you're in, you're fix it up a
car or whatever else. There's a method to the madness,
and sometimes you have to recognize, all right, this one goes.
(13:00):
Take the whatever parture useful. The rest of it gets scrapped. Right.
You see it every day if you're driving on on
Los Angeles Highway, that's the car that's going away. But
for the Suns, I mean, think about it. James Jones,
he had his hands tied behind his back. Whoever signed it,
you know, responsibility for all of them. They didn't double
(13:20):
check that Bradley Beal had a no trade contract and
clause in his contract. Okay, so you're stuck. He doesn't
want to move, Kevin Durant says, I'll see you in Hell.
I don't feel like moving in the middle of the season.
And then you got Devin Booker who hates his coach.
So what can you do? You could have sold the
reality show. That was the only thing you could have
done at that point. Otherwise we watched him for the
(13:42):
last several weeks, Jason, I mean, how poorly did you
see them play? Night after?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I was dead from the neck up. They couldn't wait
this season to end. They were just done. I remember, like, yes,
whatever you can get, you could try to find a
way to move Bradley Bill. You're not gonna get a
thing for him, but whatever you can, he'll agree to
a move. Katie's gotta go. I'm telling you, as good
a player as he is, I'd listen for Devin, I'd
listen on Devin Booker two. And it's it's not a
(14:07):
microwave situation. With the lack of patience from from ownership
and buy in, you know, full on, it's like, all right,
if this is the direction we're gonna go, we've got
to let itjes date, it doesn't happen. You know, overnight,
you're gonna get a draft pick, you're gonna have all
this other stuff. But it's it's just insanity. This is
the Suns. Is a team that Ty Pennington would show
up at Sun's facility with a bullhorn and go who's ready,
(14:30):
and then they tell him what it is.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
He goes, we can't do this, Let's find someplace else.
Let's find someplace else to go remake. Let's tell because
even even the biggest of home.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Remodeling shows would look at this and go, oh, there's
nothing I could do here.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I can't. I can't do it. All right, I'm gonna
go meet with the homeowner. All right, we're leaving.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
No, can't do it. I'm sorry, there's too much. Maybe
somebody else. I have some phone numbers, some some firms
that might take this on, but we're We're just not.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Gonna I'll take it into my my word is not
gonna go dealing with and I used to be behind
the table doing trading card shows. Right. You can tell
after about three minutes of dealing with someone who's trying
to sell you something like, yeah, this is gonna go nowhere.
Well I need to get this Okay. You see, I've
actually got one on the table priced lower than what
(15:18):
you're asking me to buy that one from. You don't
see where We're already having a problem by the second
card in the stack. You're trying to sell me, So
just keep it.

this because we have to talk about the trophy today
Ohio State celebrating the national championship at the White House,
which generally what you do and uh, yell uh, Well,
(18:02):
if Ohio State's gonna go, jd Vance, the Vice President
went to Ohio State, so you gotta figure Ohio State's
gonna go to the White House, they're gonna go.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I also feel I also feel like it's because everything
is so divided now. And I'm being honest when I
say this about about teams going to the White House
not going to West We've had for a long time
people deciding I'm going to the White House, I'm not
going to the White House because I disagree with the
politics of whoever is in the White House.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Right, We've had that.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
But I feel like now especially, it's it's gotten to
a point where, look, when things are so things are
so volatile between the two parties now, it's it's just
I think a lot of teams are saying, you know what,
we're invited, We're just gonna go.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
We're just gonna go.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Maybe it's not your president, maybe it's not my president.
Whoever it is, whether it was Trump or Biden, whoever
it was. Maybe it's your president, maybe it's not my president.
But you know what, it's a bigger deal. If we
don't go, it's a thing. It becomes a thing, and
it gets weaponized against us, and all of a sudden,
we're the team that didn't go for whatever reason. And
(19:02):
in the end, you want a national championship going to
the White House, as you're still gonna see portraits of
Lincoln and Washington and everything. You know, you're still gonna
see that stuff. So I think a lot of I
think a lot of schools had decided it's you know,
we're not it's not coming off of our diamonds. O,
we're invited to the White House.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
We're just gonna go, right, We're just gonna go because
the the the the other optic of it is really
not worth it for us to be part of being
a political football because look at the whole thing with
the Eagles, right, remember when it came out when the
Philadelphia Eagles were going to potentially not go to the
White House.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
It was a story for like two weeks. It's like, whoa,
the Eagles voted to not go to the What what's happening,
and now you're starting to see because of course with sports,
everybody wants to get involved. All politicians want to get involved.
If they don't want to come this at Okay, okay,
you know the Eagles said, you know what, we're just
gonna go. Okay, We're not gonna have this hangover our team.
We're gonna go.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
You can be in the picture, you cannot be in
the picture. You can talk to whoever you want to
talk to. You don't have to talk to.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
But we're gonna go because it's easier, and you know,
which is kind of a it's sort of a tough
thing because you know, now you want people to continue
to stand up for the ideals they believe in, because
this is not the time to have you know, hey
whatever you hey, this is the way we should be.
Leadership should go one way or the other. But this
is not a time to go Okay, let's go along
to get along. But that's kind of where we're at
(20:19):
now because everything is so politics is so tiring. Every
single day with something it's like, you know what, I've
just you know, I can understand. I don't have the
energy for it. We don't have the energy for this,
so we're gonna go, which is a shame, but I
get it, because I get I get saying, hey, we're
gonna We're gonna choose the path of least resistance here
because there's no win for us by not going. We're
(20:41):
just gonna go and go, and we're done and we're home, and.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
That's it any end. Each individual hass to come to
terms with it. But you're also still in a locker room, right.
The Dodgers had their decision a couple of weeks ago
when they were traveling out east, and what was that
a week and a half ago, whatever, whatever the time,
it all blurs anymore. But you had the big flap
over websites and and everything in the Jackie Robinson page
(21:04):
and Mookie Bets who hadn't gone when when the Red
Sox had won. So that became a story certainly here
in Los Angeles was a big story. And ultimately the
only person who couldn't go was Freddie Freeman because he
was on the il and well he was supposed to
be the guy that was going to give the speech
and all that. So it fell to Kershaw. But they
decided as a team the honor. It's a and part
(21:26):
of it is to your point of that that's something
that's not only are you getting the outside noise, but
you want you want to add something that potentially adds
juice to whatever's going on in a locker room. Yeah, yeah, No,
I don't. I don't. I don't think you want to
do that. It's it's healthy for the organization and for
the the mental space that you're trying to occupy there.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, it's it's all gonna be weaponized now. And I
think teams are like, you know what, we've seen this fight.
Now we're just gonna go. Okay, are we good as
a team.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
We're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Everybody's fine, Okay, let's go and let's do it. And
when no one's gonna make a statement one way or
the other, no, we're gonna we're gonna go. We're gonna
be celebrated because this is the White House celebrating us
when in the bleep and national chance.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And I would like to think on some level you
can pull back and just say just very much that right.
It's it's an especially when you're talking about America's pastimes
and the celebration. It's not a partisan issue. It's say
all right, here's a tradition that's been going on for
a long while. So in an age where all we
(22:28):
do is lament that a lot of traditions have been altered,
particularly in sports, this is one that that carries on. Now,
I'm gonna give you a conspiracy theory for what happened
today at the White House. How about that? Huh? They
was like, well, what's going on.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
There's a problem conspiracy theory for what happened at the
White House today. Okay, So JD. Vance welcomes in the
Ohio State Buckeyes. I promise you it's gonna be fine.
Jdvan's welcome with the buck guyes and in trying to
handle the national championship trophy, he drops it and it
comes apart and it rolls around on the floor.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
And the pictures.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Forget about the video of him dropping, which is like,
oh my goodness, because you're saying, but the still pictures,
maybe Ken Griffy Junior took these pictures. The still pictures
of the looks on their faces when the when the
trophy falls apart is just priceless.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It's just hilarious looking at the looks on all of
their faces right.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
So I see this fall and I'm going.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Oh my, I can't believe that. I can't believe. And
jd Vance is like on the grid trying to find
the bottom of the thing. Now here's my conspiracy theory.
I think about this after today. There's no way that's
the real trophy. There's no way the real trophy comes
apart like that. And is that light? Right cause I
get that? Oh no, no, Well what Jade Vance didn't
(23:43):
know people don't know is that the trophy is made
to come apart. Yet No, not that easy, not that easy,
and not that light. I start thinking when this stuff happens, now,
this is not the real trophy, that these are all
fake versions of the trophies that are handed out. I
mean Rob Manford hands out because he doesn't care. It's
just a hunk a metal, so he doesn't care. But
other sports when they had we see this a lot,
(24:05):
we see trophies do all this comes apart. There's no
way the bleep and official trophy. The leagues are that cheap,
there's no way. So I feel like, Okay, that's not
the real trophy. This is just a version you'll travel with.
But the real trophy is gonna stay here, and there's
no way that's the real trophy. This is just some
kind of crazy, cheap o version of it that they
use because they have to, because when you're talking about
(24:27):
traveling with something it could break, you don't want the
real trophy to break.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
That's what I thought. I'm really there's my conspiracy theory
for you. There's no way that's the real trophy. That
is pretty impressive.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I mean, well look at it. It looks like it comes apart.
It looks like it could be like a youth League trophy.
Hey here to produce space trophy. Oh the top came
off and all right, well, now what can you do?
I mean I got to hold an AFC title once
when we traveled to Ireland.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
That was kind of cool. Was it real one? Was
it really was the one they were putting together? Did
you break it? No? No, okay, tried to scone with it.
Did not work. I had a better first st than you.
But uh, trophy got heavy instead of police instead of
a police pursuit. You know, car Chase, he would be
Trophy Chase. Yes, running for daily How about I go
(25:11):
further on Northwestern grad? You know, But it's the how
about the conspiracy theory of maybe it was a saboteur. Hmm,
like a Michigan fan did it? Well, I mean he singled,
jd Vance did single someone out wearing a Michigan heir
You gotta have you gotta have a lot of secret
(25:31):
service joke and whatever else you're there, but.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
You gotta have a lot of spider and goodfellas kind
of guts to wear a Michigan hat to the Ohio
State celebration at the White House. Well, you want to
be acknowledged, you Yeah, Okay, sure I would feel a
little weird about the secret service message from JD Vance.
I'd feel a little nervous about that.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
But uh yeah, I don't know if he got tackled
on the way out. Yeah, but you know, anybody know
where Connor Stallions was today? I don't know, people might
not know. Might be he might have been the one.
He's he he lasers off like the top of the
trophy and then just kind of places it back on.
Watch JD Evans, watch Ohio State, screw this up. Watch this,
(26:13):
watch this, see next next levels up. But that's that's
just it sabatur because you can see the horror, the
looks on their faces. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, dude,
you dropped the trophy. Man, that's like, I don't know
if you win the National champions after that. Luck, like
he joked that, you know, the trophy breaking was ha ha.
Nobody else gets to have it, and it's like trying
(26:33):
to make the best of it. But it's like, well,
there's not much you can do. You drop that, you
dropped the national championship trophy and it broke. There's only
there's only so much chicken salad you can make out
of that. No, but look, it's broke. It's broke, Like
Derek Carr, it's broke that you now have to figure out.
I like yours that it's a cheap knockoff. Yeah, so
they bought it on the way, Oh we forgot the
(26:54):
real ones. Yeah, just you know, where's the district we
can get some knockoff stuff near the White House.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Here's what I know that for us, is there a
local trophy shop that we can show up at and
get something that maybe they've made but no one's picked
it up yet, and we could just kind of spray
paint with gold spray paint and hand it over and
say this is the trophy.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
See you just now equated it to the lonely birthday
cake that didn't get it, congratulations, or the retirement cake congratulations, dandy.
You were supposed to go pick it up, all right.
They got one of those in the back. What is
that chocolate happycrape? That name happen retirement Bruce. I just
scraped that off and just write congratulations National Champions. Just
(27:33):
put a new nameplate on it. I actually did that once.
I actually bought a ca Okay, crazy story, here we go.
I bought a cake.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Okay, my wife sent me out to buy cake for
a birthday, right, just to buy a cake. I'm like,
all right, Greg, this is like twenty five years ago.
And it was one of those things where, oh we
didn't know it was so and so's birthday. We should
bring something for them. We try to find a cake.
I don't know. So I go to find she was
just get something that's blank, and I will and we'll
and we'll figure it out. Okay, great, So I go
to this store and I go to the cakes. This
(28:03):
is back in michieg go to the cake store back
in Michigan, and there's you know, what kind of cake
should I guess because I don't know. I don't think
it doesn't matter. I'm like, all right now, I'm always
gonna default to chocolate. So there was a cake that
they you know, I could have had to make a
cake or get a cake that was vanilla cream, vanilla custard,
whatever it was. But they had a chocolate cake that
was for a it wasn't it was some kind of party.
(28:26):
It wasn't a retirement, but it was some kind of party.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
And it was gold like.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
It was one of those, and it had like and
had another and it was congrat ands so like congratulations Barbara, right,
and that's what it was. And I said, oh wow,
how about that congratulations barbera cake? The guy says, oh, man,
I said what he says? We made that cake earlier
today people called him, said they didn't want it. We're
closing in a couple hours. I go, oh, he goes,
I could sell you that cake for like ten bucks.
(28:49):
I go, what kind of cake is he chocolate cake
with chocolate inside? Said oh, how much for another cake? Well,
you're probably about fifty. So I said, I'll take that
cake for ten bucks. So I brought the chocolate cake
back and it said to Panda said, okay, now before
you get mad at me, Before you get mad at me,
this cake was ten dollars.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
No, I would have given him the extra fiver to
change the name on the bottom.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
So we just so we just scraped it off and
just put like candles in it and stuff. Okay, great,
look great? Why is it black and gold?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I don't know, just that was that was like, yeah, man,
they might would have had another piece of white chocolate
or something that they could have put over the Barbara.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
But yeah, yeah, and it must have been something if
they were ready to sell at the end of the day.
We we'll sell the We're gonna go.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
But I mean they already got paid for it, okay, right,
if someone custom ordered a cake, they would have already
given their card information. Yeah, there's no canceling that once
it's done. I mean, who knows. Hopefully something didn't happen
to Barbara, and like, you know, she had a good run.
Now I someone thought of her enough to make it
and get a cake made. Here's the thing I had
earlier today, there was some kind of truthful moment with
(29:50):
her and her husband, and now they're getting divorced. So, uh,
this congratulations, BARBERA cake is not going to go overwhell
we you know, we just just keep it. Just got
you guys, just eat it. But I got it for
ten bucks. I couldn't tell you I could spend fifty
bucks on a cake. Got it for ten bucks. And
it was a good cake. It was a good you're
the big river. It served sixteen to tell. I was like, okay,
(30:11):
I'm gonna get that kid in the small direct I
might eat this in shame. No that without using my hands,
I could just seat that whole thing. You leave that
kid from Matilda. Yes, miss trust ball, sir no telling
you that's not the real trophy. Not the real trophy.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Nicely does time out to find out what's trending in
the wide world of sports.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
But you got gotten a cake.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
He's got a lot in common with a guy eating
a cake because today is his birthday. Hey, it's Steve
to say, did you make it?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
My friend?
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I did not get him the cake, but you can
get today's trophy for ten bucks.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I can't good, very good.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Vance handled a trophy like it was Greenland. Now of
the Major League Baseball Scoreboard, Cubs and Poddres are now
tied up three three bottom of the six, andres have
loaded the bases and scored a couple to ties. Still
two outs and bases full. Dodgers lead four to nothing
over the Rockies, who just have one hit in this game,
and the Rockies over the weekend got shut out three
(31:12):
straight games at San Diego. If they lose tonight, Colorado
will be three and twelve. We're not to mid April yet,
and the Rockies are already nine and a half games
out in the division. Saint Louis and Sunny Gray beat
Houston eight to three. It was Tampa Bay sixteen to
one over Boston. The Yankees hit four solo homers in
a four to one win against Kansas City. Atlanta was
(31:34):
up eight to nothing in the fifth and won eight
to four at Toronto, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco with wins.
The Mets were victorious again five to one at Minnesota.
Twins offense went three for twenty eight with thirteen strikeouts,
and Detroit was a nine to one winner at Milwaukee,
the win to Trek Schouble with seven scoreless innings, nine
strikeouts and no walks. The Phoenix Suns fired coach Mike
(31:56):
Budenholzer after one season. He was just starting a five year,
fifty million dollar contract. The team just went.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Sorry, he's he's just ending a five year dollar contract.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
That is Kerwell, it'll be payout in BENIAI like installments.
I'm here by the Suns. The team just went thirty
six and forty six. The Suns did start this season
eight to one, but missed the postseason missed the play
in despite the league's highest payroll, So Phoenix will have
a fourth head coach in four years. The Pelicans fired
vice president David Griffin. He spent six years as the
(32:27):
head of basketball operations in New Orleans. Joe Dumars is
reportedly a candidate for that job now. He's a native
of Louisiana and a former Executive of the Year currently
works for the league. By the way, the NBA's top
selling jersey this season was the number seventy seven of
Luka Doncic of the Lakers. According to NBA store Sales,
Donciic is the first player other than Lebron James or
(32:49):
Steph Curry to lead in jersey sales in the last decade.
Curry was number two this season, James number three on
their list. By the way, the NBA play in tournament
starts Tuesday with a couple of games. Purdue All American
guard Braden Smith will return for his senior season, and
the w NBA Draft was tonight, going number one overall
to Dallas Paige Becker's of Connecticut. The season starts in
(33:11):
about one month.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve, The Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Carmen Lifrom the Tirack dot
Com studios. All right, so coming up next, if I
didn't believe big conspiracy theory that the wasn't the real
trophy that JD Van's mishandled today, another big conspiracy theory
coming off a story that aliens are Sager just mentioned. No,
(33:33):
aliens are real, completely real, completely real, Yeah, completely really Yeah,
if you just shot down his whole hope that he
was going to give you something new. They've been here
for thousands of years thousands thus oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
sure we're doing that. Yeah, slacking well, they're just getting
ready and learning stuff about us and then reporting back
to their civilizations. They happened uh far away, way way
(33:54):
way far away, in a galaxy, far faraway. Yeah, a
planet called Nabali, like really really far. I thought it
was NIMBERU No, nonball, I just waiting for Guffman. People

way way far weighing bally uh so while Alex Tyshirt
figures out what the stars have in common.

(36:22):
you my big conspiracy theory from today in sports.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
The trophy that JD.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Vans dropped today and broke wasn't the real National Championship Trophy.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
I mean, there's no way. There's no way those trophies
break like that. It's had to be.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
If it had to be the Traveling Trophy, trophies like
that just don't break.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I like that, the Traveling Traveling Trophy because it's is this, like, Dave,
you've got a second president. I don't want to look
like a jerk when you guys still look like jerks.
So I mean, really, there's no way.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I mean, it breaks so bad, it looks so bad,
it comes apart so easy. No, and I'll come as
no way. But here's my other conspiracy theory. The day
right Steve Desager brought birthday Boy Steve to say, brought
us the story a few moments ago that for the
first time since twenty twelve, someone other than Steph Curry.
Lebron James have the most popular jersey in the NBA.
(37:18):
Luka Doncic's Lakers seventy seven jersey is the most popular
jersey as far as jersey sales go. First time in
well over a decade, this has happened, and I'm calling shenanigans.
You're calling shenanigans because I'm gonna ask you something and
you're gonna say, oh, I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
We live in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
You are out and about in Los Angeles every day,
all right, every third person is wearing a Dodger's hat
or a Dodger's T shirt or something. It's right, it's
a dog you know, people wear Lakers gear, but it's
a Dodger's town. How many people have you Have you
ever seen someone here in LA wearing any kind of
Luka Doncic Lakers seventy seven jersey?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
I'd say maybe a handful. I don't know that I've seen.
I don't think I've seen a handful. And they all
had the lettering was not one hundred because they're getting
them custom done d O N. S I C. But
but at like random sports shops as opposed to from
the official site. It's like, all right, I can get
one of those made up.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
I mean, I really, I don't know that I've seen
one person in a in a in a in a
Lucas seventy seven Lakers jersey. I don't know if I've
seen one. I see Lebron jersey all the time. I
see Kobe jerseys, Koby T shirts, Lakers T shirts, left,
I see all of them. You see all the throwback
I have. I'm telling them. I'm just telling you the truth.
I have not seen one. And I'm out and about
in various parts of Los Angeles every year. I'm not out,
(38:35):
you know, looking for but you know, I go. I
know when I see people wearing it's still bunch in
the face. I've seen more people wearing Mets jerseys the
last two weeks.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
That I have any Luca. I think you're right. Yeah, now,
I'd love to see what those numbers are, you know,
because it's also from let's see January first to now,
is that what is that war tracking? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Yeah, I mean you're talking about now, but you're also
talking about really from the middle of February until now.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, But the question becomes the have they shipped? Because
they might have been bought just having Shipping is really slow,
like when Big Ball of branches and he goes. People
aren't getting their shoes out. Shipping had a backlog, Shipping
slow at the holidays, you're not getting it and bargoes
all those I don't know. Maybe they were all sold overseas.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
You go to Germany, way, do you see the people
in the Lucadanta jersey.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
I mean they're filling arenas with people wearing Luca jersey.
Wait do you see you go to Italy? No one's
wearing MESSI were not. No, no, no, no Luca Jersey.
Maybe this was all done to create a fracture, and
this is Nico Harrison's revenge. He took some of his
money and decided to buy a bunch of Luca jerseys
because then it would make Lebron mad, and then it
(39:48):
would cause a fracture. No, no, in the Lakers locker room.
Now this is better.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
He's buying them all so he doesn't have to see
people wearing them. That's true too. If I buy him,
If I buy them all, they can't keep making them fast.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
No, he wins twice. People won't order.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
I don't have to walk around the streets and walk
on the streets seeing people that Luke a Luca Laker jersey.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
It's not a bad theory.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I can just see people wearing there, Luca Mavericks Jersey's
going okay, are great?
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Keep wearing those. I've not I don't.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I don't think I've seen one person one person walking around.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I see people when they have cutaways of games that
are wearing look, but not walking around like you think
people would wear those all the time. You're spending that
kind of money on a jersey, you're wearing it. No,
I don't see people wearing it.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
I am curious.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Yeah, it makes me, It makes me, It makes me
wonder those two things. I'm telling you, man, I have
full conspiracy theories or a lot of sugar. The last
half hour one of the.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Two maybe maybe, maybe, Yeah.

bunch of other kids that are sitting there and they're
all talking, and there are.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
There's a bunch of kids. You well, you like, No, no,

who have given blood and lead. So there are kids
who came and gave blood before or in between class,
and now they're going back to Chelsea. So I'm there.

Hey, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So I'm sitting here, I'm not eg but they keep
talking about Grimace and I'm turning and I finally turn
around when when when one of the people comes over
starts asking us if we're ready to here?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, are you feeling ready to leave? For look? And
he said no, no, no, And one of the kids goes, yeah,
we're talking about Grimace. I go listen, Grimace is purple.
It's the big one. It's the Mets mascot. And the
girl looks at me.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
He goes, what, and I said, Grim's The message goes, oh,
oh no, no, this is this is someone's dog that
they named Grimace. And she shows me that the all
like a bunch of dogs, and Grimace is the small one,
and I go, oh, is the dog used to be
Purple's just no, it's okay, I'm gonna leave.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm feeling good. I'm gonna leave now, I'm gonna leave. Okay.
I thought it was gonna be the time to show
your expertise of the McDonald characters. Listen, you want to
talk about Mayor mccheese. You're talking about a guy that
should have never gotten a second term. Mayor mccheese is
the guy. And don't drink out of those lead glasses
you can buy at eBay from the seventies it's all
kinds of asses in him. You can put one on
(04:01):
your tongue and your lips would fall off. Which is
the worst real re election? Eight seven seven nine? Yeah,
is it mayor mayor mccheese, or is it the guy
of Amity Island in Jaws? Are they gonna say Guy
Fieri being re elected the mayor of Flavor Toown? No? No,
that's a lifetime institution. He's like a Supreme Court yet. Okay, yeah,
say he is the mayor. You know I could.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I didn't know this, but I get, you know, drops
when it come for hats all the time, and they
sent me a thing. I can get a Mets Flavor
toown hat. Like there's a Mets how just not your
head tonight? Well I just saw it yesterday.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I mean, then I bring it to my house. He's
friends with our guy Jay Glazer. Next week we diduld
get hey, get fi to uh to give us a
little buffet here for the draft? How about that? Here's
the thing. Come on, let's let's keep building this up.
And he can give you a hat. I get that.
But for the draft next week, I got to focus
on Joe Douglas being your former Jets GM is going
(04:55):
to be in studio, I know, doing the draft before
our show.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I got to figure out what I'm gonna say to him,
how I'm gonna say it if he wants to talk
to me, because maybe maybe he thinks about me, Like
JJ Reddick, does you know who hates me?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
So? I mean I maybe, I mean maybe Joe DIDs
oh you and he just walks right by me. I mean,
because we've done a lot of stuff on the Cardinals organization,
and last year Steve Khime was here. He's very pleasant.
You were good to Steve Kime. You're You're okay, You're
you're good to Steve Kyme. It's okay. But I like
what I mean, I had commentary prior to such that
(05:27):
might have led to not quite a Reddick situation, like
I'm going to it?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Do I do I buy off of eBay for like
eight cents a Zach Wilson Jets jersey and wear it
in next Thursday?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Like?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Do I wear that next Thursday?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Oh? That would be so bad?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Joe, will you signed by Zach Wilson Jersey on the
number we signed in the middle of the two right there.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Thanks. I appreciate that. Thank you. I kind of dig that, Yeah,
buy a couple of discount draft pick jerseys of guys
that didn't make it, and like do that amalgam like
they do with the Fearsome Forsome and stuff, and come
walking and going, Joe, I don't think you liked that. No,
I got a feeling like, but I mean, I think
(06:08):
we can go viral for whatever the reaction. I think
our draft coverage, I mean, which is always legendary and
top rated Former Brilliant would just take another.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
TMG's headline would be former NFL GM Attax radio host
and then then then the font under would say longtime
fan of team upsets GM in commercial break.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The second half of the first round really went off
the record. Smith, what happened? Okay? He was waiting, Okay,
we normally come on afterwards. So here's what happened. They
were doing the draft show and all of a sudden,
at pick number twenty four, Jason Smith comes in wearing
a mic white jersey, starts yelling, why didn't you give
(06:56):
it more of a chance we could? We weren't sure
if he was he's imitating the late Jerry Stiller or
not got rocket for it? How could you train ja bude.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
They kept saying, get Ken Phelps, get the best hut
back to home run ratio in the history of the game.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Get Ken Felps. So here's what you're gonna need to do.
I'm gonna I'm gonna have to, you know, request this
for next week, once we know exactly when we're coming
on air. You come in five minutes before that. Okay, okay,
someone will be at meat at the back door. Let
you in like you're entering a concert venue. They'll take
your cape, put it off to the side. Hey, Joe,
(07:37):
great show, it's over. You want to leave?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Well, I was gonna stick around here. No, I think Joe,
I think you should You should go, Joe, I think
I think you should go. I'm just saying I think
it might be okay.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I think he's gonna be I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I'll wear all my jets. Do you think we get
him to stay for a segment. It might be one
of those things where he says, okay, I'll stay, but
no jets talk. Oh well, all right, we're good.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
We're good. Then we're good. All right, Well we'll just
go on. Should we go? Find some of those lost
Super Bowl interviews of the guys that didn't want to
answer questions about different things. I mean, Joe Douglas is
gonna be here. It's gonna be great. I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Uh So it will be fun now, Glaize LeVar, Jenny Tag,
it'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Starts right after it, right after great, and we'll rip
your GMS now speaking of miss matcnill. Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Today in the NBA, hey, now what we got. We
got big NFL story coming up in a few minutes.
But today in the NBA the Sons fired head coach
Mike Budenholz. Yeah they did. Just think about this for
a second again. Sometimes teams exist because you need to
be reminded that, at least you're not rooting for this team.
I'm not lying when I say in the NBA they
(08:50):
may be no bigger tire fire than the Phoenix Suns organization.
Because this is a franchise. Now, third straight year, they're
gonna be looking for a new head coach. They gave
Buttonholeser a five year, fifty million dollar contract and after
one year, it's yeah, we got to move on, right.
Apparently he couldn't get along with a lot of the stars.
(09:10):
He couldn't get along with Devin Booker and the Sons
have decided they're gonna rebuild around Booker.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Good for good for Budenholeser, though, I mean, come on,
forty million dollars to go walk away? But what come
on now? The son? You know I was focusing on
the positive then bag can? I mean I think I
was talking about players with their uh you know contract
Hall of Fame. There's a buttonholes.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
There's so many bad Look, there's so many teams that
that in the NBA are having all kinds of difficulty,
but no more than the Sons who have kind of
this cutting paste aggressiveness. Uh is their strategy where it's just, oh,
we need to get better, so let's do this.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
We're gonna cut and paste. Well wait, how about a
little bit?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
No, no, no, who's oh Buttonholeser won a championship, Let's
bring him him five year done. Nobody was going crazy
to hire Mike Butdenhols and we gave him all that money.
Let's go get Bill.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Is it gonna work? I don't know. It's go get Kevin? Right.
Is it gonna work? I don't know?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
And the Suns have been a train wreck. Right the
NBA Finals appearance three years ago feels like it's like
twenty five years ago. And you know, look they're up
to zip over the Bucks and they've never really made
it back from there because Chris Paul got tired and
that was it on the games this year. Yeah, I mean,
the Sons are gonna continue to try to reload on
the fly because that's Matt Eshbia and what he wants
(10:24):
to do in Phoenix. He's so reactionary. And that's what
I mean where it's like a it's a cut and
paste aggressiveness where you have to have a plan and say, Okay,
this is what we're going to do. We're gonna we know,
we're gonna stink. We're gonna accumulate assets, draft picks and
in a couple of years, look where look at what
the Houston Rockets did, right Roggets. Okay, we're done, We're
past the James Hardener moving on. What are we gonna do.
We're gonna bring some young guys in, We're gonna we're
(10:46):
gonna make smart free agent signings and Fred van Vliet
and a couple other guys. Okay, now that's where Kd's
gonna jump next year. You know he's gonna be on
the rockets. That's how you have to do it. And
the sons just know we're gonna throw money at stuff
and bring guys in. I would listen to off for
Devin Booker too. The guy's been in the league a decade. Yes,
is he a terrific score. Terrific score. But you've been
to the top of the mountain with Devin Booker, right,
(11:07):
And if you can get something that bowls you over
because somebody feels they're a Devin Booker away, Hey, you
know what, go ahead and do it. Move on from
Bradley Beal, move on from Kevin Durant, start over again.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Start.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You have to take this down to zero, take it
down to the studs and start over, because at least
you'll have a plan. When you keep trying to reload
on the fly and you stink, you have to realize
reloading on the fly doesn't work, so you have to
find something new. It's the philosophy of when you have
a player's head coach and then his message gets a
little lost and the players tune them out. You bring
(11:40):
in more of a disciplinarian. Then when that message gets
tuned out and you go back to a player's gud.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It's kind of the.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Same way when you reload on the fly and that
strategy's not working. Now you have to break it down
to the studs. Then you bring down to the studs
that strategy's not working. You reload on the fly and
eventually you find something out. But man, what a tire fire.
The suns are ye three head coaches three years. You're
getting rid of all your superstars and try this. I mean,
this is just an absolute mess when you think of
(12:07):
what they have to come back from. At least other
teams that are in bad shape, they don't have anything,
so they could just start up from zero. This is
we got to get it down to zero and then
bring it back up.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah. The hard part is like you're building a bad infrastructure, right.
It's like if you go and I mean years ago
we took the bite at the Apple trying to build
fantasy sports games and apps and everything else, but there
was a reticence to just scraped the original six to
eight months of coding, just figure out how to fix
(12:36):
it and build from there. Well, it didn't work because
there were all sorts of holes and bad code, so
it would crash, right, You'd be in the middle of
the draft round three. All right, I'm gonna take same thing.
And whatever business you're in, you're fix it up a
car or whatever else. There's a method to the madness,
and sometimes you have to recognize, all right, this one goes.
(13:00):
Take the whatever parture useful. The rest of it gets scrapped. Right.
You see it every day if you're driving on on
Los Angeles Highway, that's the car that's going away. But
for the Suns, I mean, think about it. James Jones,
he had his hands tied behind his back. Whoever signed it,
you know, responsibility for all of them. They didn't double
(13:20):
check that Bradley Beal had a no trade contract and
clause in his contract. Okay, so you're stuck. He doesn't
want to move, Kevin Durant says, I'll see you in Hell.
I don't feel like moving in the middle of the season.
And then you got Devin Booker who hates his coach.
So what can you do? You could have sold the
reality show. That was the only thing you could have
done at that point. Otherwise we watched him for the
(13:42):
last several weeks, Jason, I mean, how poorly did you
see them play? Night after?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I was dead from the neck up. They couldn't wait
this season to end. They were just done. I remember, like, yes,
whatever you can get, you could try to find a
way to move Bradley Bill. You're not gonna get a
thing for him, but whatever you can, he'll agree to
a move. Katie's gotta go. I'm telling you, as good
a player as he is, I'd listen for Devin, I'd
listen on Devin Booker two. And it's it's not a
(14:07):
microwave situation. With the lack of patience from from ownership
and buy in, you know, full on, it's like, all right,
if this is the direction we're gonna go, we've got
to let itjes date, it doesn't happen. You know, overnight,
you're gonna get a draft pick, you're gonna have all
this other stuff. But it's it's just insanity. This is
the Suns. Is a team that Ty Pennington would show
up at Sun's facility with a bullhorn and go who's ready,
(14:30):
and then they tell him what it is.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
He goes, we can't do this, Let's find someplace else.
Let's find someplace else to go remake. Let's tell because
even even the biggest of home.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Remodeling shows would look at this and go, oh, there's
nothing I could do here.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I can't. I can't do it. All right, I'm gonna
go meet with the homeowner. All right, we're leaving.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
No, can't do it. I'm sorry, there's too much. Maybe
somebody else. I have some phone numbers, some some firms
that might take this on, but we're We're just not.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Gonna I'll take it into my my word is not
gonna go dealing with and I used to be behind
the table doing trading card shows. Right. You can tell
after about three minutes of dealing with someone who's trying
to sell you something like, yeah, this is gonna go nowhere.
Well I need to get this Okay. You see, I've
actually got one on the table priced lower than what
(15:18):
you're asking me to buy that one from. You don't
see where We're already having a problem by the second
card in the stack. You're trying to sell me, So
just keep it.

this because we have to talk about the trophy today
Ohio State celebrating the national championship at the White House,
which generally what you do and uh, yell uh, Well,
(18:02):
if Ohio State's gonna go, jd Vance, the Vice President
went to Ohio State, so you gotta figure Ohio State's
gonna go to the White House, they're gonna go.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I also feel I also feel like it's because everything
is so divided now. And I'm being honest when I
say this about about teams going to the White House
not going to West We've had for a long time
people deciding I'm going to the White House, I'm not
going to the White House because I disagree with the
politics of whoever is in the White House.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Right, We've had that.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
But I feel like now especially, it's it's gotten to
a point where, look, when things are so things are
so volatile between the two parties now, it's it's just
I think a lot of teams are saying, you know what,
we're invited, We're just gonna go.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
We're just gonna go.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Maybe it's not your president, maybe it's not my president.
Whoever it is, whether it was Trump or Biden, whoever
it was. Maybe it's your president, maybe it's not my president.
But you know what, it's a bigger deal. If we
don't go, it's a thing. It becomes a thing, and
it gets weaponized against us, and all of a sudden,
we're the team that didn't go for whatever reason. And
(19:02):
in the end, you want a national championship going to
the White House, as you're still gonna see portraits of
Lincoln and Washington and everything. You know, you're still gonna
see that stuff. So I think a lot of I
think a lot of schools had decided it's you know,
we're not it's not coming off of our diamonds. O,
we're invited to the White House.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
We're just gonna go, right, We're just gonna go because
the the the the other optic of it is really
not worth it for us to be part of being
a political football because look at the whole thing with
the Eagles, right, remember when it came out when the
Philadelphia Eagles were going to potentially not go to the
White House.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
It was a story for like two weeks. It's like, whoa,
the Eagles voted to not go to the What what's happening,
and now you're starting to see because of course with sports,
everybody wants to get involved. All politicians want to get involved.
If they don't want to come this at Okay, okay,
you know the Eagles said, you know what, we're just
gonna go. Okay, We're not gonna have this hangover our team.
We're gonna go.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
You can be in the picture, you cannot be in
the picture. You can talk to whoever you want to
talk to. You don't have to talk to.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
But we're gonna go because it's easier, and you know,
which is kind of a it's sort of a tough
thing because you know, now you want people to continue
to stand up for the ideals they believe in, because
this is not the time to have you know, hey
whatever you hey, this is the way we should be.
Leadership should go one way or the other. But this
is not a time to go Okay, let's go along
to get along. But that's kind of where we're at
(20:19):
now because everything is so politics is so tiring. Every
single day with something it's like, you know what, I've
just you know, I can understand. I don't have the
energy for it. We don't have the energy for this,
so we're gonna go, which is a shame, but I
get it, because I get I get saying, hey, we're
gonna We're gonna choose the path of least resistance here
because there's no win for us by not going. We're
(20:41):
just gonna go and go, and we're done and we're home, and.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
That's it any end. Each individual hass to come to
terms with it. But you're also still in a locker room, right.
The Dodgers had their decision a couple of weeks ago
when they were traveling out east, and what was that
a week and a half ago, whatever, whatever the time,
it all blurs anymore. But you had the big flap
over websites and and everything in the Jackie Robinson page
(21:04):
and Mookie Bets who hadn't gone when when the Red
Sox had won. So that became a story certainly here
in Los Angeles was a big story. And ultimately the
only person who couldn't go was Freddie Freeman because he
was on the il and well he was supposed to
be the guy that was going to give the speech
and all that. So it fell to Kershaw. But they
decided as a team the honor. It's a and part
(21:26):
of it is to your point of that that's something
that's not only are you getting the outside noise, but
you want you want to add something that potentially adds
juice to whatever's going on in a locker room. Yeah, yeah, No,
I don't. I don't. I don't think you want to
do that. It's it's healthy for the organization and for
the the mental space that you're trying to occupy there.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, it's it's all gonna be weaponized now. And I
think teams are like, you know what, we've seen this fight.
Now we're just gonna go. Okay, are we good as
a team.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
We're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Everybody's fine, Okay, let's go and let's do it. And
when no one's gonna make a statement one way or
the other, no, we're gonna we're gonna go. We're gonna
be celebrated because this is the White House celebrating us
when in the bleep and national chance.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And I would like to think on some level you
can pull back and just say just very much that right.
It's it's an especially when you're talking about America's pastimes
and the celebration. It's not a partisan issue. It's say
all right, here's a tradition that's been going on for
a long while. So in an age where all we
(22:28):
do is lament that a lot of traditions have been altered,
particularly in sports, this is one that that carries on. Now,
I'm gonna give you a conspiracy theory for what happened
today at the White House. How about that? Huh? They
was like, well, what's going on.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
There's a problem conspiracy theory for what happened at the
White House today. Okay, So JD. Vance welcomes in the
Ohio State Buckeyes. I promise you it's gonna be fine.
Jdvan's welcome with the buck guyes and in trying to
handle the national championship trophy, he drops it and it
comes apart and it rolls around on the floor.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
And the pictures.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Forget about the video of him dropping, which is like,
oh my goodness, because you're saying, but the still pictures,
maybe Ken Griffy Junior took these pictures. The still pictures
of the looks on their faces when the when the
trophy falls apart is just priceless.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It's just hilarious looking at the looks on all of
their faces right.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
So I see this fall and I'm going.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Oh my, I can't believe that. I can't believe. And
jd Vance is like on the grid trying to find
the bottom of the thing. Now here's my conspiracy theory.
I think about this after today. There's no way that's
the real trophy. There's no way the real trophy comes
apart like that. And is that light? Right cause I
get that? Oh no, no, Well what Jade Vance didn't
(23:43):
know people don't know is that the trophy is made
to come apart. Yet No, not that easy, not that easy,
and not that light. I start thinking when this stuff happens, now,
this is not the real trophy, that these are all
fake versions of the trophies that are handed out. I
mean Rob Manford hands out because he doesn't care. It's
just a hunk a metal, so he doesn't care. But
other sports when they had we see this a lot,
(24:05):
we see trophies do all this comes apart. There's no
way the bleep and official trophy. The leagues are that cheap,
there's no way. So I feel like, Okay, that's not
the real trophy. This is just a version you'll travel with.
But the real trophy is gonna stay here, and there's
no way that's the real trophy. This is just some
kind of crazy, cheap o version of it that they
use because they have to, because when you're talking about
(24:27):
traveling with something it could break, you don't want the
real trophy to break.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
That's what I thought. I'm really there's my conspiracy theory
for you. There's no way that's the real trophy. That
is pretty impressive.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I mean, well look at it. It looks like it comes apart.
It looks like it could be like a youth League trophy.
Hey here to produce space trophy. Oh the top came
off and all right, well, now what can you do?
I mean I got to hold an AFC title once
when we traveled to Ireland.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
That was kind of cool. Was it real one? Was
it really was the one they were putting together? Did
you break it? No? No, okay, tried to scone with it.
Did not work. I had a better first st than you.
But uh, trophy got heavy instead of police instead of
a police pursuit. You know, car Chase, he would be
Trophy Chase. Yes, running for daily How about I go
(25:11):
further on Northwestern grad? You know, But it's the how
about the conspiracy theory of maybe it was a saboteur. Hmm,
like a Michigan fan did it? Well, I mean he singled,
jd Vance did single someone out wearing a Michigan heir
You gotta have you gotta have a lot of secret
(25:31):
service joke and whatever else you're there, but.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
You gotta have a lot of spider and goodfellas kind
of guts to wear a Michigan hat to the Ohio
State celebration at the White House. Well, you want to
be acknowledged, you Yeah, Okay, sure I would feel a
little weird about the secret service message from JD Vance.
I'd feel a little nervous about that.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
But uh yeah, I don't know if he got tackled
on the way out. Yeah, but you know, anybody know
where Connor Stallions was today? I don't know, people might
not know. Might be he might have been the one.
He's he he lasers off like the top of the
trophy and then just kind of places it back on.
Watch JD Evans, watch Ohio State, screw this up. Watch this,
(26:13):
watch this, see next next levels up. But that's that's
just it sabatur because you can see the horror, the
looks on their faces. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, dude,
you dropped the trophy. Man, that's like, I don't know
if you win the National champions after that. Luck, like
he joked that, you know, the trophy breaking was ha ha.
Nobody else gets to have it, and it's like trying
(26:33):
to make the best of it. But it's like, well,
there's not much you can do. You drop that, you
dropped the national championship trophy and it broke. There's only
there's only so much chicken salad you can make out
of that. No, but look, it's broke. It's broke, Like
Derek Carr, it's broke that you now have to figure out.
I like yours that it's a cheap knockoff. Yeah, so
they bought it on the way, Oh we forgot the
(26:54):
real ones. Yeah, just you know, where's the district we
can get some knockoff stuff near the White House.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Here's what I know that for us, is there a
local trophy shop that we can show up at and
get something that maybe they've made but no one's picked
it up yet, and we could just kind of spray
paint with gold spray paint and hand it over and
say this is the trophy.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
See you just now equated it to the lonely birthday
cake that didn't get it, congratulations, or the retirement cake congratulations, dandy.
You were supposed to go pick it up, all right.
They got one of those in the back. What is
that chocolate happycrape? That name happen retirement Bruce. I just
scraped that off and just write congratulations National Champions. Just
(27:33):
put a new nameplate on it. I actually did that once.
I actually bought a ca Okay, crazy story, here we go.
I bought a cake.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Okay, my wife sent me out to buy cake for
a birthday, right, just to buy a cake. I'm like,
all right, Greg, this is like twenty five years ago.
And it was one of those things where, oh we
didn't know it was so and so's birthday. We should
bring something for them. We try to find a cake.
I don't know. So I go to find she was
just get something that's blank, and I will and we'll
and we'll figure it out. Okay, great, So I go
to this store and I go to the cakes. This
(28:03):
is back in michieg go to the cake store back
in Michigan, and there's you know, what kind of cake
should I guess because I don't know. I don't think
it doesn't matter. I'm like, all right now, I'm always
gonna default to chocolate. So there was a cake that
they you know, I could have had to make a
cake or get a cake that was vanilla cream, vanilla custard,
whatever it was. But they had a chocolate cake that
was for a it wasn't it was some kind of party.
(28:26):
It wasn't a retirement, but it was some kind of party.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
And it was gold like.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
It was one of those, and it had like and
had another and it was congrat ands so like congratulations Barbara, right,
and that's what it was. And I said, oh wow,
how about that congratulations barbera cake? The guy says, oh, man,
I said what he says? We made that cake earlier
today people called him, said they didn't want it. We're
closing in a couple hours. I go, oh, he goes,
I could sell you that cake for like ten bucks.
(28:49):
I go, what kind of cake is he chocolate cake
with chocolate inside? Said oh, how much for another cake? Well,
you're probably about fifty. So I said, I'll take that
cake for ten bucks. So I brought the chocolate cake
back and it said to Panda said, okay, now before
you get mad at me, Before you get mad at me,
this cake was ten dollars.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
No, I would have given him the extra fiver to
change the name on the bottom.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
So we just so we just scraped it off and
just put like candles in it and stuff. Okay, great,
look great? Why is it black and gold?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I don't know, just that was that was like, yeah, man,
they might would have had another piece of white chocolate
or something that they could have put over the Barbara.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
But yeah, yeah, and it must have been something if
they were ready to sell at the end of the day.
We we'll sell the We're gonna go.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
But I mean they already got paid for it, okay, right,
if someone custom ordered a cake, they would have already
given their card information. Yeah, there's no canceling that once
it's done. I mean, who knows. Hopefully something didn't happen
to Barbara, and like, you know, she had a good run.
Now I someone thought of her enough to make it
and get a cake made. Here's the thing I had
earlier today, there was some kind of truthful moment with
(29:50):
her and her husband, and now they're getting divorced. So, uh,
this congratulations, BARBERA cake is not going to go overwhell
we you know, we just just keep it. Just got

ten bucks. I couldn't tell you I could spend fifty
bucks on a cake. Got it for ten bucks. And
it was a good cake. It was a good you're
the big river. It served sixteen to tell. I was like, okay,

(36:22):
you my big conspiracy theory from today in sports.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
The trophy that JD.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Vans dropped today and broke wasn't the real National Championship Trophy.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
I mean, there's no way. There's no way those trophies
break like that. It's had to be.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
If it had to be the Traveling Trophy, trophies like
that just don't break.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I like that, the Traveling Traveling Trophy because it's is this, like, Dave,
you've got a second president. I don't want to look
like a jerk when you guys still look like jerks.
So I mean, really, there's no way.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I mean, it breaks so bad, it looks so bad,
it comes apart so easy. No, and I'll come as
no way. But here's my other conspiracy theory. The day
right Steve Desager brought birthday Boy Steve to say, brought
us the story a few moments ago that for the
first time since twenty twelve, someone other than Steph Curry.
Lebron James have the most popular jersey in the NBA.
(37:18):
Luka Doncic's Lakers seventy seven jersey is the most popular
jersey as far as jersey sales go. First time in
well over a decade, this has happened, and I'm calling shenanigans.
You're calling shenanigans because I'm gonna ask you something and
you're gonna say, oh, I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
We live in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
You are out and about in Los Angeles every day,
all right, every third person is wearing a Dodger's hat
or a Dodger's T shirt or something. It's right, it's
a dog you know, people wear Lakers gear, but it's
a Dodger's town. How many people have you Have you
ever seen someone here in LA wearing any kind of
Luka Doncic Lakers seventy seven jersey?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
I'd say maybe a handful. I don't know that I've seen.
I don't think I've seen a handful. And they all
had the lettering was not one hundred because they're getting
them custom done d O N. S I C. But
but at like random sports shops as opposed to from
the official site. It's like, all right, I can get
one of those made up.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
I mean, I really, I don't know that I've seen
one person in a in a in a in a
Lucas seventy seven Lakers jersey. I don't know if I've
seen one. I see Lebron jersey all the time. I
see Kobe jerseys, Koby T shirts, Lakers T shirts, left,
I see all of them. You see all the throwback
I have. I'm telling them. I'm just telling you the truth.
I have not seen one. And I'm out and about
in various parts of Los Angeles every year. I'm not out,
(38:35):
you know, looking for but you know, I go. I
know when I see people wearing it's still bunch in
the face. I've seen more people wearing Mets jerseys the
last two weeks.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
That I have any Luca. I think you're right. Yeah, now,
I'd love to see what those numbers are, you know,
because it's also from let's see January first to now,
is that what is that war tracking? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Yeah, I mean you're talking about now, but you're also
talking about really from the middle of February until now.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, But the question becomes the have they shipped? Because
they might have been bought just having Shipping is really slow,
like when Big Ball of branches and he goes. People
aren't getting their shoes out. Shipping had a backlog, Shipping
slow at the holidays, you're not getting it and bargoes
all those I don't know. Maybe they were all sold overseas.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
You go to Germany, way, do you see the people
in the Lucadanta jersey.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
I mean they're filling arenas with people wearing Luca jersey.
Wait do you see you go to Italy? No one's
wearing MESSI were not. No, no, no, no Luca Jersey.
Maybe this was all done to create a fracture, and
this is Nico Harrison's revenge. He took some of his
money and decided to buy a bunch of Luca jerseys
because then it would make Lebron mad, and then it
(39:48):
would cause a fracture. No, no, in the Lakers locker room.
Now this is better.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
He's buying them all so he doesn't have to see
people wearing them. That's true too. If I buy him,
If I buy them all, they can't keep making them fast.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
No, he wins twice. People won't order.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
I don't have to walk around the streets and walk
on the streets seeing people that Luke a Luca Laker jersey.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
It's not a bad theory.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I can just see people wearing there, Luca Mavericks Jersey's
going okay, are great?
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Keep wearing those. I've not I don't.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I don't think I've seen one person one person walking around.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I see people when they have cutaways of games that
are wearing look, but not walking around like you think
people would wear those all the time. You're spending that
kind of money on a jersey, you're wearing it. No,
I don't see people wearing it.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
I am curious.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Yeah, it makes me, It makes me, It makes me
wonder those two things. I'm telling you, man, I have
full conspiracy theories or a lot of sugar. The last
half hour one of the.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Two maybe maybe, maybe, Yeah.

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating.

Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
