listening to Fox Sports Radio. Greetings, Welcome inside, Happy Friday
Jason Smith Show with my big friend Mike Harmon. It's
going on, dude, a very happy Love and Thunder Friday
to you, Mike Harmon, Peace and love, Piece of love.
We're just rolling through with the anniversary, you know, of
(00:46):
the birth of rain Go Star yesterday, right into Love
and Thunder. I heard it was really good. It's just
it was just his birthday. It's not the anniversary. It's
just his birthday. It's the anniversary of his birthday. It's
but it's his birthday. It's just the celebrated catalog. Uh yeah,
big was the w oh and all those other things.
But how was the movie. I'll tell you this, Love
(01:08):
and Thunder was fun. It was uneven and it was
I was it great? No, was it bad. No, I
would say in the Phase four Pantheon of Marvel, I
would say it was probably the fifth best thing they've done. Right,
you got, you got, you got no Way Home and
(01:29):
one division and no Way Home clearly number one. Then
you got one division. Then I would say Black Widow
and Hawkeye, and then I would say this comes after that.
Because it was fun. It was funny. The cameos were great.
The music was unbelievable. Uh, there's a couple running running
(01:50):
up that hill? Did No, they did not use run,
thank thankfully, they did not use running up that hill.
You also catch a break tonight because well, it's Sam
and not I do otherwise would be and I will
say this and I'm not ruined and mountain. This is
not a spoiler at all. But no, no no, it's not
a spoiler at all. Over the credits they played DIO
(02:12):
Rainbow in the Dark, which as soon as it not
but I went, wow, it's deal. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm
the one singing along lack of Rainbow and the dog. No. Oh,
that was so excited with Rainbow in the Dark. But
it was good. It was fun. The one thing is
that with this Thor movie and and and everybody's good
in it. It was. There's a couple of things they
(02:34):
could have done better, but overall, you're gonna walk out
and and it's gonna be fun, and you're gonna want
to talk about it and say, oh, this was fun.
This worked. This could have worked a little bit better,
but this was fun. But overall, you're gonna come out
and go, yeah, that was fun. That was a fun
couple of hours to spend at the movie. I will
say this, I am done. I want Nope to come
out because I'm done seeing that. I've done seeing that trailer. Now,
(02:57):
that eight minute trailer that runs before every re movie,
I'm like, it makes me say, do you want to
see this movie? No? No, I mean really it's I'm like, okay,
I want this. There's sometimes I I just want a
movie to come out because I'm done seeing the trailer
for it, right, Like I was ready for that with
Top Gun other things. I'm ready for that. I've seen
the trailer a thousand times. No, I'm ready for Nope
to come out because I'm done. I'm done with the
(03:17):
trailer and I'm done with the shot of Stephen, you know,
just looking up in the air. When the shadow comes over.
I'm done. I'm done. I want that movie to come out.
I wanted to. I've had enough of it. I've got
other terms that I've used for that and other films
that I've had enough of. But I don't think we're
in safe harbor for that just yet. But that also
means that I am one of those people champion getting
(03:39):
back to movies. Yeah, I've seen the trailer that many
times that I guess that's a good thing. Yeah, I've
been going back to the movies a lot then since
I've been seeing this a lot. It's been so many times.
My daughter actually just texted me because I had said
you were going to see it, and Maddie went with
a bunch of her friends earlier. She texted me, is
he rooting the movie already? All I've said is they
(04:01):
play rainbow. She's already texting me. They play rainbow in
the dark during the credits. That's all I'm gonna tell you.
And that was really exciting. The music in the movie
was phenomenal. It was at the music of the movie.
Oh yeah, the music was great. Natalie Portman, I know
there's some complexities to that character. Yeah, yeah, No, I
(04:22):
will see this. This is my one again, no sport,
I'm not gonna spot anything. Natalie Portman is a phenomenal actress.
And you know, she has had a body of work
over the course of her career, Black Swan and and
all going all the way back to the professional She
is phenomenal. It's hard because I don't think she pulls
off the superhero action star as well as others do. Like,
(04:48):
you know, she didn't really do it great in Star
Wars and and and in this. I'm like, she's good,
and she's good in it, and you know, she's a
good actress, and she put you know, the character arc
that she has, but just the overall you kind of
got to be larger than life a little bit to
be a superhero. And I just don't know that that's
her wheelhouse. And you look, she's got a great reputation Hollywood.
(05:09):
Like I said, she's a phenomenal actress. I just don't
know that she pulls off the larger than Like when
you see Florence Pugh walk on and and and you're like, okay, Florence.
But yes, she's the next generation for Marvel. She is fan.
She comes in and embodies that character and it is
just fantat and you can tell right away, especially that
(05:29):
style and stuff. Yeah, exactly, it's it's like okay, god, yes, yes, yes, yes,
But others it's it's harder to and and it's it's
being a different kind of actress. So I walked away
from this going, yeah, you know, she was good, but
boy was she really liked the superhero. Okay, that that
was That was the toughest part for me. Other than that,
everything else look like I said, it was fun. Tico
(05:50):
y TD knows what he's doing and and and the
cameos were fantastic. People were howling at one of the
at one of the extra the mid credit scene, howling
in my theater at the at the scene. It was awesome.
It was awesome. And I was one of them. I
was one I oh it was great. Um, I mean
other people go, oh it was really. I can't tell
you how cool it was for the for the mid
(06:12):
credit scene. But that's a no spoilers. I'm just telling
the stuff to look forward to be excited about. That's
a spoiler free review of Love and Thunder. No, that's good.
I mean I do like the fact that what Keatie
wants to add he to the Star Wars universe. So
that's good. Uh so I getting something to look forward to.
We'll look forward to when to look forward to? You're
going to see it back in Chicago? Or why are
you gonna try to? Yeah? I'll probably find some time
(06:34):
to uh get a little crazy there well as we
As we continue to talk about love and Thunder throughout
the night, music from Love and Thunder will be played
throughout the show tonight, which will be great because Iowa
Sam will do it and you know where Tisher would say, No,
I'm gonna play all the other music. Now, We'll play
Love and Thunder music all night. Well, Sam's all about
love and thunder. Uh. He was just back in the
(06:55):
Midwest on a vacation himself, so he knows all about
thunder and thunderstorms. Well that was my nickname in high school,
was Loving Thunder. Hair comes Loving Thunder. Yeah, get it home?
What you got Frostberg? I thought you hate No, this
is the real, This is the real. Four is the No,
he's not the real thing. He's fake thor. No, he's
(07:17):
fake thour. No, he's fake thor. Yeah. Not not to
belabor the point. I don't have to to like the
guy he left. I don't have to like him anymore
him you went and saw his movie. I don't think
Noah Syndergard gets a dollar from Love and Thing. It
would be kind of interesting if he did. We'll have
to find him and ask him. But I do like
the fact, you know, not to belabor the Marvel point here,
(07:39):
but that Hem's worths basically like, I'll keep doing these
movies as long as they want to have me do him. Yeah,
that's pretty cool. Yeah, and these other guys. I think
I need to expand my arc as an actor. Yeah, Yeah,
and your million and shut up twittering out about a
Fresco Mike has swollen down The Jason Smith Show with
(07:59):
Mike Carmen live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right,
this is a conversation that gets into silly money right
now here we are in the NBA. The big news
today Damian Lillard, who, according to all reports yesterday, was
never going back. No one was responding to his emails,
he had no relationship with the owner. Well, apparently that
got figured out because Damian Lillard has agreed to a
(08:22):
two year, one hundred and twenty two million dollar contract
extension with the Blazers that's gonna tie in to the
franchise through the seven season. So now for those two
years his contract extension, he's gonna be getting sixty one
million dollars a year, because that's what you want to do,
(08:43):
is when a guy is thirty seven, be paying him
sixty one million dollars a year. But this gets into
a much bigger question because this is this is where
we're at right now. We just watched Nakola Yoku signed
this big contract extension. The last couple of years of
his deal is sixty million dollars. I mean, look, and
I don't mean this is one of those how much
can the NBA survive when you're paying guys sixty million
(09:03):
dollars a year? This is just how the game goes.
I would say, by twenty thirty, okay, by twenty thirty two.
Right now, by twenty thirty, either in the NFL or
the NBA, we will have a hundred million dollar a
year player, either a quarterback from the NFL we make
it a hundred million dollars a year, or a star
player in the NBA who probably isn't in the NBA
(09:25):
yet because you know, a hundred million dollars. No, no
one playing now is going to get it, because by
then they're gonna be thirty seven. Although look what is
out shut up, But I would say by by twenty thirty,
guys will be there will be a hundred million dollar
a year player, and there will be a seventy five
million dollar a year player. By five three years from now,
somebody's been making seventy five million dollars a year, and
(09:46):
in twenty thirty someone's gonna making a hundred million dollars
a year. That's gonna happen. That's where that's where we're
headed now. And it's either NFL or the NBA. It's
not gonna happen. It's not. It's not. It's not even
close to getting there. In Major League Baseball, right the
top guys are getting thirty million dollars a year. That's
a huge jump to get from thirty to fifty to seventy.
But you're seeing NFL quarterbacks are up now at fifty
million plus, and now NBA players are up at sixty
(10:09):
million plus, So that's gonna be a shorter jump for that.
Baseball is not quite going to get there. But NBA
star NFL quarterback hundred million dollars a year. Yeah, I
mean the biggest thing that goes through is obviously rights
deals and the ever expanding pie they're in. Right when
we talk about the NFL, the big announcement for Roger Goodell,
as we'll talk about over the course of the day,
(10:31):
is you know, the expectation that, yeah, we'll be on
a streaming service for you know, the Sunday ticket and
you know what my timeline was littered with, Can I
just buy my one damn team. I don't play fantasy
and I don't care about I'll get my highlights from Fox.
So thanks, thanks, and not to the guys Fox NFL
(10:51):
Sunday and you know the post game and everything they do,
which is all great. But you know, in the NBA,
and we've talked about it a lot, Jason and harped
on this quite a bit, as we've talked about the
free agency period, the silly season and where contracts are
headed and juggling money and salary caps and and all
(11:11):
of that. Why why do we see it in the NFL? Well,
it keeps expanding, Right, You had that one year out
of you know, the outlier of a downturn. Otherwise it
grows every year, which means signed the big contracts because
you're just banking on the fact that the growth will
absorb those. Likewise, in the NBA, the rights uh I
idea for Adam Silver is that they're going to triple
(11:34):
in right billion now and the goal within the next
couple of years is that it's sitting at seventy five
billion dollars. Well, the players get half that money, and
that's it, right. I mean there there's the basic math.
Like a lot of these, the financials get hard, the
explanations get hard. I did a ten minute diet tribe
about the Bears thing because nobody had any idea what
(11:56):
any of it meant related to the dome and and
why of the Bears. It really doesn't matter, i e.
They don't own the facility and they rent. You're gonna
have a dome. You're gonna get the dome. It's gonna
be fine. It doesn't put any more money in the
Bears post. Yes it will because more people will go
see the Bears because once Northwestern gets booted out of
the Big ten to make room for USC people are
(12:18):
gonna you know, look, there's gonna be college kids that
want their football fixing. You know you, jackass. I just
checked my blood pressure and it was good. Don't do
that to me. It's finday, I'm going on vacation. I'm
supposed to be exactly no. But but to that end,
it's you're looking at getting half of that giant oversized pie,
(12:40):
and if it gets anywhere close to the projections that
silver head, then yeah, A hundred millions nothing on the
grand scheme. Now, I would love to see what happens
in the next round of contract negotiations owing to what's
going on with Kevin Durant and folks saying well, what
does he owe them? It's like, well, I don't know,
you committed to four years and you're not gonna play
(13:01):
a second of it in theory, so shouldn't they get
more than just a bunch of half ass picks and
a couple of guys who make the salaries match. I mean,
there should be some protections therein but that that's the
next iteration, that's the next cb A, that's you know,
whatever else you can legally come to an agreement on.
But hundred million for the NBA, I can certainly see that.
(13:22):
I'll be there for a quarterback to It'll be there
for somebody, whether you know, whether it's I mean, it's
not gonna be Bryce Young or c. J. Stroud, but
somebody that comes into the league in that's a superstar
quarterback when they hit their second contract, there'll be a
hundred million dollars. It's gonna be a guy not in
the league. I mean not neither team has the guy
in the league right now that's gonna get although maybe
(13:43):
John Morant, you think that maybe by the time it
gets to it'll get to a point million dollars. But
NFL the kids, the kids not in the league yet,
it will be there. But he congratulations to him on
signing his extension. Uh, it could be arch Manning in
n I L Mine. Oh, he may just make it
all an there before. I am the savior of this program.
(14:04):
And I don't even need to start a game. I'm
a free we're passing the offering plate. During the game,
he just threw another touchdown. Guy with a really long
stick walking up with a basket at the end of
it's going, hey, hey, that's gotta be worth something. Twitter
and out about a Fresco Mike and swollen dome The
Jason Smith Show with my base friend Mike car But
(14:25):

(15:40):
The Jason Smith Show with my bis friend Mike Harmon. Hey,
our buddy Nestor on Instagram asks or he kind of
proposed the theory that your daughter and any friends that
were with you started to creep out of the theater
as you should stood belting out this song. No, no, no.
She was fine. I mean she looked at me a
little bit well because Pam was doing it too, like
(16:01):
we're both singing Rainbow in the Dark at the end
of the movie, the couple that slays together, Let's get
you know. The funny thing is I you know, I
tells her, I said, listen, any of the songs from
this movie if you want, I own and I can
give him to you. And she goes, Dad, I can
get any of these any time on Spotify, And I said, right,
(16:22):
but I want you know, I own these songs. I
mean I have all these I had them before they
decided to pick them, before I was cool, before this
movie came out, before you could get them for free
from anywhere, before you had millions of signs of it.
I've had it. You want how long I've had the
CD for Come take a look at my CD collection.
Uh so, she was like dad, I could get these
all the time. And there's a couple that she asked me, hey,
(16:44):
I really liked I said, yes, yes, yes, it's great song.
Great song. Yeah. Oh no, songs in this movie movie
were great. Love and thunder songs are really really good.
You're singing along to him the entire time. Well, I
think that would get a little annoying after a while
for the people around you. But you know, hey, go no,
I don't want to sing. I don't mean you're singing
along like you're singing out loud that they're going, whoa, whoa,
(17:05):
sweet job. No, I mean you're just singing along in
your head. I don't know. I saw some of the
footage from Munich and people say that maybe maybe you're
singing along to Axel is a good thing. Um, but
hey man, I celebrate just the pageantry and pomp and
circumstance of it all. But that's just me. Uh So.
Major League Baseball update, the Reds just beat the Rays
(17:27):
on a walk off balk. So if you had that
on your bingo card, the walk off balk courtesy of
the Reds, wind over the wonder what that that would
have paid out? I don't know. Could you could you
bet that? Like could you go out of and make
it for for Ferman for later? Like if I said
I want to I want to go. I want to
bet tonight there's a walk off balk in a game,
(17:49):
Like they gotta give me those set some odds for you,
like I could. I mean I probably not on the
board normally, but they usually want to take your money.
But really they don't get each other and say what
what odds we put on it? Say all right, we'll
give you odds for anything. How much money you want
to bet? Oh? I want Yeah? Yeah, that's great. You
don't want to bet the Charles Barkley, Uh breaking up
(18:11):
finished higher seventy? No, no, no, I want to bet
there's a walk off ball in Major League Baseball tonight.
That's what I want to bet. No, that's good. I
like that one so big night. We got el traffic
going on right now. L a f C has just
scored one nothing over the Galaxy. Lakers. Summer League is
about to start. I think the I think the Knicks
are beating the Warriors right now. Gonna be a flash
(18:32):
forward to what next season's gonna look like. Okay, they're
no longer the favorites in Vegas. Either after free agency.
We'll have to another thing to add to your notes
for later. Well, look, Jalen Brunson signing with the Knicks
is a very big deal. It's a very very big well,
I mean, it just really toppled the entire NBA universe.
I mean that might have been better than Gore. Uh So,
(18:56):
if the Nicks beat the Warriors tonight, right, since they're
the first team to beat the Warriors since the since
it ended like the Knicks of the Champs right the property. Yeah,
it's like the WW title of the new Champ as
long as there's someone to declare it a victory. Okay,
But but the Knicks have to worry if someone knocking
on their hotel doors this night saying no, no, no, Yeah,
(19:16):
Draymond may come back over the top with the chair
or whatever for an object to take take you down.
Look at the especially you're in Vegas, so I mean
it never sleeps, which means you could be at the
roulette table and all of a sudden, bam, this is
what next season has to offer. It's gonna be all nick. Uh.
A huge headline in the National Football League today is
(19:40):
Roger Goodell was on CNBC. He was on with Jim Kramer.
No Yell. They were yelling at each other, what about
bye bye? What I just got on here? No, I
gotta say it loud to Roger Uh. He was on
CNBC and dropped a bombshell that our Sundays in the
NFL are gonna change forever, very soon because if you
(20:01):
like to watch football on Sundays, Roger Goodell says, streaming
is what's gonna happen, and it's gonna happen soon. We
really believe that these new platforms give us an ability
to innovate beyond where we are today and make the
experience for our consumers so much better. So and it
it obviously makes it more available. I think that this
will make it more accessible for fans. I think it
(20:23):
will be a better experience for fans, and we're excited
by it. I mean, it would have been better if
he was on with Jim Kramer, because it would be
he would have been more amped up about it. It
makes it so exciting, tell me how exciting and well,
but think about they could have done the by sell
and he could have chimed in on teams and new
coaches do you think of what the Jets have done
in the draftic bye, bye bye. They can't be as
bad as they've been historically. Oh Jim, did I just
(20:44):
say that he comes out in the boxing gloves? Yeah?
What are we gonna buy? What do you buy? Sell?
That's it? Uh So there's a couple of big things
about this, right because now you're talking about instead of
get direct TV and going through cable your cable provider,
you're now going to go through streaming, and it's likely
going to be Apple Plus, Amazon or Disney Plus. That
(21:06):
that's those are the three big contenders. And there are
some thoughts that maybe Apple Plus has it locked up
already and that's where you're gonna have to go. So
you're gonna get ted Lasso, and you're gonna get Mythic
Quest and and you're gonna wind up getting the NFL
Sunday package. Now, to get this is not gonna be
It's not that's exciting where you can say, oh, man,
so if I have Apple Plus, I'm gonna get No. No, no,
You're still gonna have to spend a lot of money
(21:28):
for the for the rights or streaming services. And it's
not just gonna be included with your Apple Plus subscription.
That's twelve dollars a month. You are going to have
to spend a lot of money. And I'll tell you this,
the price for this is gonna be way higher than
it is now because right now you're gonna get it
for about three hundred bucks a year. Right that's about
what you get it. And I would say, this happens,
(21:50):
it's gonna go streaming, the price for this package will
be at least five dollars. Now they may include something
with it, like you get three free months of Apple
Plus or or you know, after the season, what if
it's going to be, but I would say it's gonna
be about five bucks for the year. And if I'm
being honest, for that kind of entertainment you're talking about,
it's still you know, thirty bucks a day for you know,
(22:12):
for seventeen Sundays during the year, for eight hours of coverage.
It breaks down to be pretty cheap. And I'm not
saying five hundred bucks or something you can I can
throw it away, but when you break down, you're talking
about seventeen sundays of eight hours of content that you're
gonna consume thirty dollars for that is pretty cheap al right,
Like I think movies are pretty cheap. Like, you know,
it's twelve bucks to go to a movie, but you're
(22:32):
talking about two hours of entertainment. You're okay, six dollars
an hour, you know, to be entertained the way I
am when I go to a movie, it's still pretty cheap.
And and the way the NFL comes, right, I think
that's pretty cheap too. So if this goes up to
five dollars, there's gonna be a big outroar. Outrage, is what.
But I can understand it because this is what the
product demands, and it's still the NFL is providing you
(22:52):
with a lot of content. This This is not where, hey,
you're gonna get one game. It's not Apple Plus Baseball
where you get one game. No, this is gonna be
the tire Sunday. Well, you get a few games on
the Friday night and most of them you don't want
to listen to the sound. Yes, I want to want
to break up Fox Sports Radio a little bit louder,
(23:13):
a little bit louder now, but yeah, look maybe five hundred,
but I would suspect there's other programming that goes with us. Right,
this becomes the package deal behind the scenes of all right,
how much more expanded, you know, alternate views of games? Right,
one or two games are picked to be the here's
ex athlete and celebrity and whatever commenting and you know,
(23:37):
ask questions and and just general tom foolery. Not to
mention your Apple TV or Disney Plus or whatever it
is is included for some period of time. Maybe maybe
you go all the way up to a year and
just say all right, you're in, or you go low
end to start right, you go the old you know,
forgive the analogy, but it's one that has always been used.
(24:00):
That's how I pitched the stat tracker all those years
ago at Yahoo. When they're like, all right, how do
we monetize things beyond clicks? It's all right, here's your
taste for free. Right, it's the sample aisle at Costco.
It's like, what do you why you're back again. It's like, hey,
I'm getting a meal all of there. But the the
idea that you get a taste and you like it,
(24:21):
and then when it goes away, you're like, you know what,
Sundays are better with this? Right, with the stat tracker
back when everybody was charging for fantasy games. You got
to track your league for the year not not bad, right,
or you can buy it as a league, uh and
get your discount. You know, the group right as it were.
But it's the that idea of getting more and more
(24:43):
eyeballs and getting away from direct TV. Now their stock
is trading. I want to say it like fifty eight,
fifty nine, uh today off a fifty two week high
of ninety three. Now that doesn't say a ton because
the market as a whole is depressed. So we'll see
what happens when in an actual and anouncement is made.
But you're you're looking at the ever expanding opportunities here,
(25:06):
you know, to to see how you can carve this up.
What other programming can you include to entice people their
local teams, local feeds, local commenters, all all of those
things that make it that much more attractive beyond whatever
the host of TV shows, movies and original programming that
(25:27):
you have to offer. Jason Smith Mike harmon Fox Sports Radio.
We're talking about the NFL deal going to streaming, so
Sunday tickets going to be heading there very soon. Roger
Goodells's announcement could come as early as this fall. Now,
the other part of this is that streaming overall has
just run rampant the last few years, and there's been
(25:47):
a lot of success, especially during the pandemic, when what
do we all do? We all stayed inside and watch TV, right,
And that became a new way of life for us
as a We're watching TV more than ever because the
content that was on is really really good. TV has
never been better. But there's a reason why this is
such a big deal and and and the NFL going
to streaming, and the fight this is going to be
(26:10):
to get Sunday ticket is because the next couple of years,
I think you're gonna see kind of a settling of
the streaming landscape because there's so many streaming services now
and how many can you really have? Are you really
going to have all of them? You know, you're you're
paying more than you did for your cable right exactly,
because because if you want all these great show and
there's great shows on every streaming package that's out there,
(26:33):
I'm telling you there are, but how many are you
gonna pay for? Are you? Are you gonna pay for Netflix?
And you're gonna pay for Apple, and you're gonna pay
for HBO Max, you're gonna pay for Paramount, You're gonna
pay for Amazon, You're gonna pay for Disney. I mean
that's a lot that sounds, and so I mean it's
a lot. I mean you're talking about your cable bill
now being you know, or just your streaming bill being
like a hundred dollars a month. Well, and if you're
(26:54):
like us, where you still need to be able to,
you know, watch sports beyond those packages, you still have
to have some level of cable, whether it's you TV
or Direct TV or UH Spectrum or whatever your cable
is locally. Now you're adding that on top of whatever
the streaming stuff you have for each member of the
family and for other interests that you have. Yeah, people
(27:17):
are gonna have to make choices because they're gonna say, Okay,
what do I I don't want all of this, and
I'll I'll give up a couple of shows and all right,
I really like you know, Amazon, but you know The
Boys is not going to be back for another year,
And do I really need Amazon? No? I don't need
Amazon anymore. And the old HBO rule, right, Hey, Sopranos
is gonna be gone for eighteen months, right, do I
(27:37):
need that? Right? I love HBO Max, but Hacks isn't
coming back for a while, and Mayor of East time,
So people are going to be making tough decisions and
it's tough to say I want to cut Apple Plus
if they have the NFL. So this is why this
is such a big deal, because there's gonna be a
fight to stay alive for streaming services the next couple
of years, because some of them are gonna make it right,
(27:59):
because like I said, you're gonna have to make there's
just too many and too much out there, and it's
we have this and that, you know what, it's just
too many and we're not going to get any more
regulation of it because you could see more streaming services
coming out as we go. But the next couple of years,
I think you're gonna see it and we're gonna get
down to I I would say, in the next two years,
you're gonna see a couple go away because they don't
(28:19):
make the money, they don't get the subscribers they did,
and they're not going to have growth. And if you
don't have growth, you're not going to be around. And
so I would say by five will be down to
like a big four. They're probably like four streaming services,
and that's gonna be it and everything else people aren't
gonna watch it, And it may be what we see.
It could be Netflix and Apple and Amazon and Disney, right,
it could be those now. And there's some thought that
(28:42):
Netflix is right for an acquisition, right because the cost
of original programming. And this really gets deep inside baseball
and me spending way too much time on business sites
going through this stuff. But you already have several of
the competitors that you've mentioned that are are also rans
Netles clearly not one of those, but from a stagnation
(29:05):
uh part, that's where they fall in. But you may
have a bit of consolidation and best of brand that
already uh starts to develop here and might be happening
behind the scenes, much like the U s c U
c l A say, and undercover of Jight, we packed
our trucks and we we left for Baltimore. So yeah,
(29:25):
it's gonna be It's gonna be a really interesting next
two years where some streaming services you have that you
love aren't gonna be around. And that's it's a big
because if you get the NFL for the next five
or six year, you're not going anywhere. You're not going anywhere,
and you're gonna be You're gonna be up at the top.
You're gonna be up at the top of Netflix and
and everybody else is gonna be fighting for relevancy. That
that's where the next couple of years is going to go.
(29:46):
Streaming was well because the other part of that, Jason,
whoever wins, that feeds the rest of the beast, right,
So you gotta be the long play, figure out what
the upfront is right, and and the check that needs
to be cut, if one needs to be done right away.
That allows you to then start funding all that other programming,
and then that machine starts to get momentum like Dante
Colepepper and Randy Moss did all those years ago. Twitter
(30:09):
and how about a Fresco Mike gets swollen done the
Jason Spitzer with Mike comment, We're full of what the
next few years in sports is gonna bring us, aren't we? Right?
Actions to a man who has no streaming services and
still believes in the old fashioned way of consuming programs
on the radio, he listens to nighttime soap operas all
the time. It is Steve the Sager with what's trending?
You know you're talking about not every streaming service is
(30:31):
going to be around shortly. I you know, this is
just between us. Don't tell anybody else. I hear CNN
Plus is not doing well, So just between us. I
don't want to say anything, but you know, listen, they're gone,
but if they get the NFL package, people are gonna
watch for those who are with us. A few minutes ago,
(30:51):
the NFL did confirm that the Sunday Ticket TV package
will be moving to a streaming service after this season.
So will the price be going up for the common man,
the common fan. Well, we had a response to Roger
Goodell from Jim Kramer on CNBC No idea, what it's
like out there? Yeah, so there we always suspected that.
(31:12):
Now now we know for sure. Yeah. But if it's
important to you, Steve, you'll pay. You'll pay. And now
let's go back to the studio to break down the
first half with Anderson, Cooper and se Cup. Go ahead,
what do you buy that for us? I'll catch it
on CNN Plus later. And then Kramer yelled at him,
why do you hate Dave Portnoy Anderson, I have the
(31:38):
Republicans getting seven here in the second half. I really think,
da oh, we're in mid game. Betting now the Independence
watch out for the Independence? Do they come? Wait? Why
are they preempting my NFL with November election results? That
betting on that. He's the funny one on the sitcom, right,
he enters the apartment in a different way that Jim
(31:58):
k Yeah, eactly, he's hilarious. Speaking of hilarious, the Angels bullpen.
They gave up three runs in the bottom of the
night just now to lose at Baltimore five four or
the Baltimore Orioles have won six games in a row.
They're almost at You know, it was what two weeks
ago where you said, hey, the Orioles have about the
(32:19):
same record as the Angels. It's not gonna be close
the way things are going. The night he played, of
course he played, but no, I don't believe he had
an hit well, like like a lot of hitless games
in September when he was on that streak. Mike Trout
Homer show, Hey Otani with a late solo homer and
still an l for the Angels. And by the way,
(32:42):
they did announce the All Star starters. The All Star
Game at Dodger Stadium was a week from Tuesday on
Fox TV. The d h for the American League will
be Otani. The American League outfielders to start Mike trout,
Gencarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge. Yankees are leading eleven five at
Boston in the bottom of the eighth. By the way,
the NL outfield Mookie beats Jack Peterson and Ronald Acuna
(33:05):
Kunia with a home run for the Braves tonight. In fact,
they've hit four, but it's a weather delay in the
bottom of the eighth with the Braves up ten two
on the Nationals, and in fact, there's a chance of
rain in Atlanta for the next week. Just for the record,
the Reds in ten innings be Tampa Bay two to
one on a ball. The Reds offense went four for
twenty nine with twelve strikeouts and still won the game.
(33:26):
The Marlins was a walk off ball, that's correct. And
it looked like the picture was literally just moving his
glove like can you go through the signs again? And
they counted that as starting his motion. Fuck, I have
to go to the bathroom maybe to say the manager
came out on that one for discussion that went nowhere.
(33:46):
Needless to say, Marlin's are leading at the Mets five
two in the bottom of the ninth inning. Elsewhere we
do have the Twins winning well, they were winning again.
The Rangers had committed three airs early. Rangers have just
taken in the lead six five on the Twins. At
the top of the seven Corey Seeger with his seventeenth
home run his old team. The Dodgers are scoreless with
(34:07):
the Cubs. In the bottom of the second, Dodgers have
bases loaded two outs. And have you seen the Padres
uniforms tonight? Their City connect jerseys and unis with the
pinks leaves and the catcher in the completely all pink
garb Padres lead three nothing on the Giants in the
top of the fourth on a three run bomb first
inning from Manny Machado. And you mentioned the NBA's Summer League.
(34:31):
It just started in Vegas last night. The Brooklyn Nets
Cam Thomas Summer League MVP last year had thirty one
points in thirty one minutes for the Nets tonight, although
they lost to Milwaukee for what it's worth, and for
the Knicks, Quentin Grimes twenty four points. Farren Hunt from
s m U seven steals to go with his seventeen points.
That's the Summer League record, Summerlee record, summer record. The
(34:54):
Knicks defeated the Warriors. Moses Moody though in three quarters
for Golden State with thirty four points. Back to you, Well,
it doesn't matter. The Knicks can hang a bat or
they're the real champs. Now that's right, they're the real chests.
Like that? What was it? Kyle Kuzma and VP of
the Summer League Twitter it out about a Fresca Mike

And when I say real, I mean that real. I
got legendary Hall of famers, elite coaches in the top
(36:03):
basketball Inside is bringing you a unique perspective on all
things hoops culture that you will not find where to
make your next move your best move and tap in
with me from kJ Live wherever you get your podcast from,
taking me back to Guitar Hero, Fox Sports Radio, The
(36:27):
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Rmon. And
because it's a Friday, you want to have a little fun,
want to educate. I want to make things easier for
people who are looking for careers in the sports entertainment industry. Okay, sure,
And because of this, so we're starting a school. Uh
we could we could? I mean we could, I don't know.
(36:51):
We We probably need some kind of funding for that. Well,
I mean we can always do a Patreon or go
fund yourself. Well we could do that. Sure, we could
do that that. Folks might want to give us money.
I don't know. Yeah, um so in exchange for goods money?
Explain how so earlier today in a speech. You've you've
seen this over the internet over the course of the
(37:11):
day today, Uh President Biden. All the ron Burgundy means
because he was reading the teleprompter and giving a speech
about women's reproductive rights, and he said repeat line, which
was you know, a sign from the teleprompter to repeat
the line that he had said before, but instead he
read it as repeat line. So well, you added with
more and fascist, yes, you do that, And of course
(37:34):
all the ron Burgundy stuff came out. How don't you
know he's gonna read everything you're putting the teleprompter. Uh So,
But I I will say this, and this is really
important this and this is there's certain things and certain
skills you have to have to work. And whenever I
wind up talking to kids and and you know they're
in college and they want to know what to do
(37:56):
in certain things, is I always tell them, I said,
you have to make sure you can work with a prompter,
and that you can work without a prompter, right, because
working without a prompter, that's flying without a net. That
is something that you absolutely have to do. But working
with a prompter, you gotta do it, and it's a skill.
And I remember the first time I had to read
a prompter. When I was filling hosted on Jim Roman's
(38:16):
Burning for ESPN, I was so nervous, like, what if
I can't read the prompter? Because I had seen because
I've been in TV for a long time, but I
was on the production side of it. I've seen people's
careers just end because they couldn't read the prompter. As
of people drink. Coming up next on the show, we
find out if Aaron Rodgers will make all that money
with his new contract. Stay tuned. I'm like, okay, copy
(38:39):
you've seen for the first time. That's like reading an
ad for the first time. Yeah, here's a live reading.
You wait, you read it like that, You're never getting brought.
But I know people who are big stars right now,
speaking of Jim Romans Burning, I'll paul pull the curtain
back a little bit. Speaking of Jim Romans Burn, when
I filled in hosting that show, right, it was it
was awesome time for me. You know, I had you know,
Jim and I had great relationship. It was it was right.
(39:00):
I love doing it. And then down, no, no, no, no, no,
we still know. I still get along prime uh and
and I remember going in and there's other people that
I saw phill In host that are big stars in
the media right now that just didn't get brought back
because they couldn't read the prompter. It was, oh, we
can't have you on television anymore, and and they have
now segued away from television into doing other things. Reading
(39:24):
a prompter is a huge skill, and I was lucky,
you know, I gotta be truthful here on the show.
I'm really good at it. I'm really smooth reading. And
it's it is. You have to be able to do it.
You gotta be able to do it if you haven't
seen stuff. You have to do to know what you
want to say and not look like you're reading and
read like you're not reading. It is a huge skill
and I didn't know about it. I didn't know, Am
(39:44):
I gonna be good at it? Can I do it?
Can I not? And I was lucky that it was
something that came kind of easy to me and I
understood how to do it. But you see things like
this is the President that as you know, I mean,
many public figures we've seen have trouble reading the teleprompter
and and not be able to read it right or
missing emphasis on a line, or missing saying what they're saying,
or getting lost and knowing what happens if the prompter
(40:06):
scrolls too faster, too slow for you, you have to
time it out. I mean, it is a big time skill.
If you can't do that, if you can't work with
a prompter, you can't work in television. But if you
can't work without a prompter, you can't work in television.
Either those two things. You absolutely have to have both
of those skills if you're gonna be on TV. Well,
the other thing is always be more important than to
(40:28):
the operation than the guy or or a woman operating
the prompter, because you can claim they went too faster,
too slow, and it's their fault. It's your fault, prompter.
You bag me on that. I can't believe that go faster,
but it's stuck. But it's stuck. It's like you know,
Sam can attest to this. You miss a cue, you
miss a prompt. Now the button stuck. Come on, you
(40:52):
screw you, screwed me on, screwed me. And coming up next,
we have the scroll faster, scroll faster fast, A very
special guest coming your way. That's too fast, it's too fast.
And Too Fast, Slow Down, Slow down Here on the show.
I mean you gotta be able to do it, gotta
(41:12):
Twitter and how about a fresco Mike and Swollen down.

Jason Smith Show with my big friend Mike Harmon. It's

to you, Mike Harmon, Peace and love, Piece of love.
We're just rolling through with the anniversary, you know, of
(00:46):
the birth of rain Go Star yesterday, right into Love
and Thunder. I heard it was really good. It's just
it was just his birthday. It's not the anniversary. It's
just his birthday. It's the anniversary of his birthday. It's
but it's his birthday. It's just the celebrated catalog. Uh yeah,
big was the w oh and all those other things.
But how was the movie. I'll tell you this, Love
(01:08):
and Thunder was fun. It was uneven and it was
I was it great? No, was it bad. No, I
would say in the Phase four Pantheon of Marvel, I
would say it was probably the fifth best thing they've done. Right,
you got, you got, you got no Way Home and
(01:29):
one division and no Way Home clearly number one. Then
you got one division. Then I would say Black Widow
and Hawkeye, and then I would say this comes after that.
Because it was fun. It was funny. The cameos were great.
The music was unbelievable. Uh, there's a couple running running
(01:50):
up that hill? Did No, they did not use run,
thank thankfully, they did not use running up that hill.
You also catch a break tonight because well, it's Sam
and not I do otherwise would be and I will
say this and I'm not ruined and mountain. This is
not a spoiler at all. But no, no no, it's not
a spoiler at all. Over the credits they played DIO
(02:12):
Rainbow in the Dark, which as soon as it not
but I went, wow, it's deal. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm
the one singing along lack of Rainbow and the dog. No. Oh,
that was so excited with Rainbow in the Dark. But
it was good. It was fun. The one thing is
that with this Thor movie and and and everybody's good
in it. It was. There's a couple of things they
(02:34):
could have done better, but overall, you're gonna walk out
and and it's gonna be fun, and you're gonna want
to talk about it and say, oh, this was fun.
This worked. This could have worked a little bit better,
but this was fun. But overall, you're gonna come out
and go, yeah, that was fun. That was a fun
couple of hours to spend at the movie. I will
say this, I am done. I want Nope to come
out because I'm done seeing that. I've done seeing that trailer. Now,
(02:57):
that eight minute trailer that runs before every re movie,
I'm like, it makes me say, do you want to
see this movie? No? No, I mean really it's I'm like, okay,
I want this. There's sometimes I I just want a
movie to come out because I'm done seeing the trailer
for it, right, Like I was ready for that with
Top Gun other things. I'm ready for that. I've seen
the trailer a thousand times. No, I'm ready for Nope
to come out because I'm done. I'm done with the
(03:17):
trailer and I'm done with the shot of Stephen, you know,
just looking up in the air. When the shadow comes over.
I'm done. I'm done. I want that movie to come out.
I wanted to. I've had enough of it. I've got
other terms that I've used for that and other films
that I've had enough of. But I don't think we're
in safe harbor for that just yet. But that also
means that I am one of those people champion getting
(03:39):
back to movies. Yeah, I've seen the trailer that many
times that I guess that's a good thing. Yeah, I've
been going back to the movies a lot then since
I've been seeing this a lot. It's been so many times.
My daughter actually just texted me because I had said
you were going to see it, and Maddie went with
a bunch of her friends earlier. She texted me, is
he rooting the movie already? All I've said is they
(04:01):
play rainbow. She's already texting me. They play rainbow in
the dark during the credits. That's all I'm gonna tell you.
And that was really exciting. The music in the movie
was phenomenal. It was at the music of the movie.
Oh yeah, the music was great. Natalie Portman, I know
there's some complexities to that character. Yeah, yeah, No, I
(04:22):
will see this. This is my one again, no sport,
I'm not gonna spot anything. Natalie Portman is a phenomenal actress.
And you know, she has had a body of work
over the course of her career, Black Swan and and
all going all the way back to the professional She
is phenomenal. It's hard because I don't think she pulls
off the superhero action star as well as others do. Like,
(04:48):
you know, she didn't really do it great in Star
Wars and and and in this. I'm like, she's good,
and she's good in it, and you know, she's a
good actress, and she put you know, the character arc
that she has, but just the overall you kind of
got to be larger than life a little bit to
be a superhero. And I just don't know that that's
her wheelhouse. And you look, she's got a great reputation Hollywood.
(05:09):
Like I said, she's a phenomenal actress. I just don't
know that she pulls off the larger than Like when
you see Florence Pugh walk on and and and you're like, okay, Florence.
But yes, she's the next generation for Marvel. She is fan.
She comes in and embodies that character and it is
just fantat and you can tell right away, especially that
(05:29):
style and stuff. Yeah, exactly, it's it's like okay, god, yes, yes, yes, yes,
But others it's it's harder to and and it's it's
being a different kind of actress. So I walked away
from this going, yeah, you know, she was good, but
boy was she really liked the superhero. Okay, that that
was That was the toughest part for me. Other than that,
everything else look like I said, it was fun. Tico
(05:50):
y TD knows what he's doing and and and the
cameos were fantastic. People were howling at one of the
at one of the extra the mid credit scene, howling
in my theater at the at the scene. It was awesome.
It was awesome. And I was one of them. I
was one I oh it was great. Um, I mean
other people go, oh it was really. I can't tell
you how cool it was for the for the mid
(06:12):
credit scene. But that's a no spoilers. I'm just telling
the stuff to look forward to be excited about. That's
a spoiler free review of Love and Thunder. No, that's good.
I mean I do like the fact that what Keatie
wants to add he to the Star Wars universe. So
that's good. Uh so I getting something to look forward to.
We'll look forward to when to look forward to? You're
going to see it back in Chicago? Or why are
you gonna try to? Yeah? I'll probably find some time
(06:34):
to uh get a little crazy there well as we
As we continue to talk about love and Thunder throughout
the night, music from Love and Thunder will be played
throughout the show tonight, which will be great because Iowa
Sam will do it and you know where Tisher would say, No,
I'm gonna play all the other music. Now, We'll play
Love and Thunder music all night. Well, Sam's all about
love and thunder. Uh. He was just back in the
(06:55):
Midwest on a vacation himself, so he knows all about
thunder and thunderstorms. Well that was my nickname in high school,
was Loving Thunder. Hair comes Loving Thunder. Yeah, get it home?
What you got Frostberg? I thought you hate No, this
is the real, This is the real. Four is the No,
he's not the real thing. He's fake thor. No, he's
(07:17):
fake thour. No, he's fake thor. Yeah. Not not to
belabor the point. I don't have to to like the
guy he left. I don't have to like him anymore
him you went and saw his movie. I don't think
Noah Syndergard gets a dollar from Love and Thing. It
would be kind of interesting if he did. We'll have
to find him and ask him. But I do like
the fact, you know, not to belabor the Marvel point here,
(07:39):
but that Hem's worths basically like, I'll keep doing these
movies as long as they want to have me do him. Yeah,
that's pretty cool. Yeah, and these other guys. I think
I need to expand my arc as an actor. Yeah, Yeah,
and your million and shut up twittering out about a
Fresco Mike has swollen down The Jason Smith Show with
(07:59):
Mike Carmen live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right,
this is a conversation that gets into silly money right
now here we are in the NBA. The big news
today Damian Lillard, who, according to all reports yesterday, was
never going back. No one was responding to his emails,
he had no relationship with the owner. Well, apparently that
got figured out because Damian Lillard has agreed to a
(08:22):
two year, one hundred and twenty two million dollar contract
extension with the Blazers that's gonna tie in to the
franchise through the seven season. So now for those two
years his contract extension, he's gonna be getting sixty one
million dollars a year, because that's what you want to do,
(08:43):
is when a guy is thirty seven, be paying him
sixty one million dollars a year. But this gets into
a much bigger question because this is this is where
we're at right now. We just watched Nakola Yoku signed
this big contract extension. The last couple of years of
his deal is sixty million dollars. I mean, look, and
I don't mean this is one of those how much
can the NBA survive when you're paying guys sixty million
(09:03):
dollars a year? This is just how the game goes.
I would say, by twenty thirty, okay, by twenty thirty two.
Right now, by twenty thirty, either in the NFL or
the NBA, we will have a hundred million dollar a
year player, either a quarterback from the NFL we make
it a hundred million dollars a year, or a star
player in the NBA who probably isn't in the NBA
(09:25):
yet because you know, a hundred million dollars. No, no
one playing now is going to get it, because by
then they're gonna be thirty seven. Although look what is
out shut up, But I would say by by twenty thirty,
guys will be there will be a hundred million dollar
a year player, and there will be a seventy five
million dollar a year player. By five three years from now,
somebody's been making seventy five million dollars a year, and
(09:46):
in twenty thirty someone's gonna making a hundred million dollars
a year. That's gonna happen. That's where that's where we're
headed now. And it's either NFL or the NBA. It's
not gonna happen. It's not. It's not. It's not even
close to getting there. In Major League Baseball, right the
top guys are getting thirty million dollars a year. That's
a huge jump to get from thirty to fifty to seventy.
But you're seeing NFL quarterbacks are up now at fifty
million plus, and now NBA players are up at sixty
(10:09):
million plus, So that's gonna be a shorter jump for that.
Baseball is not quite going to get there. But NBA
star NFL quarterback hundred million dollars a year. Yeah, I
mean the biggest thing that goes through is obviously rights
deals and the ever expanding pie they're in. Right when
we talk about the NFL, the big announcement for Roger Goodell,
as we'll talk about over the course of the day,
(10:31):
is you know, the expectation that, yeah, we'll be on
a streaming service for you know, the Sunday ticket and
you know what my timeline was littered with, Can I
just buy my one damn team. I don't play fantasy
and I don't care about I'll get my highlights from Fox.
So thanks, thanks, and not to the guys Fox NFL
(10:51):
Sunday and you know the post game and everything they do,
which is all great. But you know, in the NBA,
and we've talked about it a lot, Jason and harped
on this quite a bit, as we've talked about the
free agency period, the silly season and where contracts are
headed and juggling money and salary caps and and all
(11:11):
of that. Why why do we see it in the NFL? Well,
it keeps expanding, Right, You had that one year out
of you know, the outlier of a downturn. Otherwise it
grows every year, which means signed the big contracts because
you're just banking on the fact that the growth will
absorb those. Likewise, in the NBA, the rights uh I
idea for Adam Silver is that they're going to triple
(11:34):
in right billion now and the goal within the next
couple of years is that it's sitting at seventy five
billion dollars. Well, the players get half that money, and
that's it, right. I mean there there's the basic math.
Like a lot of these, the financials get hard, the
explanations get hard. I did a ten minute diet tribe
about the Bears thing because nobody had any idea what
(11:56):
any of it meant related to the dome and and
why of the Bears. It really doesn't matter, i e.
They don't own the facility and they rent. You're gonna
have a dome. You're gonna get the dome. It's gonna
be fine. It doesn't put any more money in the
Bears post. Yes it will because more people will go
see the Bears because once Northwestern gets booted out of
the Big ten to make room for USC people are
(12:18):
gonna you know, look, there's gonna be college kids that
want their football fixing. You know you, jackass. I just
checked my blood pressure and it was good. Don't do
that to me. It's finday, I'm going on vacation. I'm
supposed to be exactly no. But but to that end,
it's you're looking at getting half of that giant oversized pie,
(12:40):
and if it gets anywhere close to the projections that
silver head, then yeah, A hundred millions nothing on the
grand scheme. Now, I would love to see what happens
in the next round of contract negotiations owing to what's
going on with Kevin Durant and folks saying well, what
does he owe them? It's like, well, I don't know,
you committed to four years and you're not gonna play
(13:01):
a second of it in theory, so shouldn't they get
more than just a bunch of half ass picks and
a couple of guys who make the salaries match. I mean,
there should be some protections therein but that that's the
next iteration, that's the next cb A, that's you know,
whatever else you can legally come to an agreement on.
But hundred million for the NBA, I can certainly see that.
(13:22):
I'll be there for a quarterback to It'll be there
for somebody, whether you know, whether it's I mean, it's
not gonna be Bryce Young or c. J. Stroud, but
somebody that comes into the league in that's a superstar
quarterback when they hit their second contract, there'll be a
hundred million dollars. It's gonna be a guy not in
the league. I mean not neither team has the guy
in the league right now that's gonna get although maybe
(13:43):
John Morant, you think that maybe by the time it
gets to it'll get to a point million dollars. But
NFL the kids, the kids not in the league yet,
it will be there. But he congratulations to him on
signing his extension. Uh, it could be arch Manning in
n I L Mine. Oh, he may just make it
all an there before. I am the savior of this program.
(14:04):
And I don't even need to start a game. I'm
a free we're passing the offering plate. During the game,
he just threw another touchdown. Guy with a really long
stick walking up with a basket at the end of
it's going, hey, hey, that's gotta be worth something. Twitter

(15:40):
The Jason Smith Show with my bis friend Mike Harmon. Hey,
our buddy Nestor on Instagram asks or he kind of
proposed the theory that your daughter and any friends that
were with you started to creep out of the theater
as you should stood belting out this song. No, no, no.
She was fine. I mean she looked at me a
little bit well because Pam was doing it too, like
(16:01):
we're both singing Rainbow in the Dark at the end
of the movie, the couple that slays together, Let's get
you know. The funny thing is I you know, I
tells her, I said, listen, any of the songs from
this movie if you want, I own and I can
give him to you. And she goes, Dad, I can
get any of these any time on Spotify, And I said, right,
(16:22):
but I want you know, I own these songs. I
mean I have all these I had them before they
decided to pick them, before I was cool, before this
movie came out, before you could get them for free
from anywhere, before you had millions of signs of it.
I've had it. You want how long I've had the
CD for Come take a look at my CD collection.
Uh so, she was like dad, I could get these
all the time. And there's a couple that she asked me, hey,
(16:44):
I really liked I said, yes, yes, yes, it's great song.
Great song. Yeah. Oh no, songs in this movie movie
were great. Love and thunder songs are really really good.
You're singing along to him the entire time. Well, I
think that would get a little annoying after a while
for the people around you. But you know, hey, go no,
I don't want to sing. I don't mean you're singing
along like you're singing out loud that they're going, whoa, whoa,
(17:05):
sweet job. No, I mean you're just singing along in
your head. I don't know. I saw some of the
footage from Munich and people say that maybe maybe you're
singing along to Axel is a good thing. Um, but
hey man, I celebrate just the pageantry and pomp and
circumstance of it all. But that's just me. Uh So.
Major League Baseball update, the Reds just beat the Rays
(17:27):
on a walk off balk. So if you had that
on your bingo card, the walk off balk courtesy of
the Reds, wind over the wonder what that that would
have paid out? I don't know. Could you could you
bet that? Like could you go out of and make
it for for Ferman for later? Like if I said
I want to I want to go. I want to
bet tonight there's a walk off balk in a game,
(17:49):
Like they gotta give me those set some odds for you,
like I could. I mean I probably not on the
board normally, but they usually want to take your money.
But really they don't get each other and say what
what odds we put on it? Say all right, we'll
give you odds for anything. How much money you want
to bet? Oh? I want Yeah? Yeah, that's great. You
don't want to bet the Charles Barkley, Uh breaking up
(18:11):
finished higher seventy? No, no, no, I want to bet
there's a walk off ball in Major League Baseball tonight.
That's what I want to bet. No, that's good. I
like that one so big night. We got el traffic
going on right now. L a f C has just
scored one nothing over the Galaxy. Lakers. Summer League is
about to start. I think the I think the Knicks
are beating the Warriors right now. Gonna be a flash
(18:32):
forward to what next season's gonna look like. Okay, they're
no longer the favorites in Vegas. Either after free agency.
We'll have to another thing to add to your notes
for later. Well, look, Jalen Brunson signing with the Knicks
is a very big deal. It's a very very big well,
I mean, it just really toppled the entire NBA universe.
I mean that might have been better than Gore. Uh So,
(18:56):
if the Nicks beat the Warriors tonight, right, since they're
the first team to beat the Warriors since the since
it ended like the Knicks of the Champs right the property. Yeah,
it's like the WW title of the new Champ as
long as there's someone to declare it a victory. Okay,
But but the Knicks have to worry if someone knocking
on their hotel doors this night saying no, no, no, Yeah,
(19:16):
Draymond may come back over the top with the chair
or whatever for an object to take take you down.
Look at the especially you're in Vegas, so I mean
it never sleeps, which means you could be at the
roulette table and all of a sudden, bam, this is
what next season has to offer. It's gonna be all nick. Uh.
A huge headline in the National Football League today is
(19:40):
Roger Goodell was on CNBC. He was on with Jim Kramer.
No Yell. They were yelling at each other, what about
bye bye? What I just got on here? No, I
gotta say it loud to Roger Uh. He was on
CNBC and dropped a bombshell that our Sundays in the
NFL are gonna change forever, very soon because if you
(20:01):
like to watch football on Sundays, Roger Goodell says, streaming
is what's gonna happen, and it's gonna happen soon. We
really believe that these new platforms give us an ability
to innovate beyond where we are today and make the
experience for our consumers so much better. So and it
it obviously makes it more available. I think that this
will make it more accessible for fans. I think it
(20:23):
will be a better experience for fans, and we're excited
by it. I mean, it would have been better if
he was on with Jim Kramer, because it would be
he would have been more amped up about it. It
makes it so exciting, tell me how exciting and well,
but think about they could have done the by sell
and he could have chimed in on teams and new
coaches do you think of what the Jets have done
in the draftic bye, bye bye. They can't be as
bad as they've been historically. Oh Jim, did I just
(20:44):
say that he comes out in the boxing gloves? Yeah?
What are we gonna buy? What do you buy? Sell?
That's it? Uh So there's a couple of big things
about this, right because now you're talking about instead of
get direct TV and going through cable your cable provider,
you're now going to go through streaming, and it's likely
going to be Apple Plus, Amazon or Disney Plus. That
(21:06):
that's those are the three big contenders. And there are
some thoughts that maybe Apple Plus has it locked up
already and that's where you're gonna have to go. So
you're gonna get ted Lasso, and you're gonna get Mythic
Quest and and you're gonna wind up getting the NFL
Sunday package. Now, to get this is not gonna be
It's not that's exciting where you can say, oh, man,
so if I have Apple Plus, I'm gonna get No. No, no,
You're still gonna have to spend a lot of money
(21:28):
for the for the rights or streaming services. And it's
not just gonna be included with your Apple Plus subscription.
That's twelve dollars a month. You are going to have
to spend a lot of money. And I'll tell you this,
the price for this is gonna be way higher than
it is now because right now you're gonna get it
for about three hundred bucks a year. Right that's about
what you get it. And I would say, this happens,
(21:50):
it's gonna go streaming, the price for this package will
be at least five dollars. Now they may include something
with it, like you get three free months of Apple
Plus or or you know, after the season, what if
it's going to be, but I would say it's gonna
be about five bucks for the year. And if I'm
being honest, for that kind of entertainment you're talking about,
it's still you know, thirty bucks a day for you know,
(22:12):
for seventeen Sundays during the year, for eight hours of coverage.
It breaks down to be pretty cheap. And I'm not
saying five hundred bucks or something you can I can
throw it away, but when you break down, you're talking
about seventeen sundays of eight hours of content that you're
gonna consume thirty dollars for that is pretty cheap al right,
Like I think movies are pretty cheap. Like, you know,
it's twelve bucks to go to a movie, but you're
(22:32):
talking about two hours of entertainment. You're okay, six dollars
an hour, you know, to be entertained the way I
am when I go to a movie, it's still pretty cheap.
And and the way the NFL comes, right, I think
that's pretty cheap too. So if this goes up to
five dollars, there's gonna be a big outroar. Outrage, is what.
But I can understand it because this is what the
product demands, and it's still the NFL is providing you
(22:52):
with a lot of content. This This is not where, hey,
you're gonna get one game. It's not Apple Plus Baseball
where you get one game. No, this is gonna be
the tire Sunday. Well, you get a few games on
the Friday night and most of them you don't want
to listen to the sound. Yes, I want to want
to break up Fox Sports Radio a little bit louder,
(23:13):
a little bit louder now, but yeah, look maybe five hundred,
but I would suspect there's other programming that goes with us. Right,
this becomes the package deal behind the scenes of all right,
how much more expanded, you know, alternate views of games? Right,
one or two games are picked to be the here's
ex athlete and celebrity and whatever commenting and you know,
(23:37):
ask questions and and just general tom foolery. Not to
mention your Apple TV or Disney Plus or whatever it
is is included for some period of time. Maybe maybe
you go all the way up to a year and
just say all right, you're in, or you go low
end to start right, you go the old you know,
forgive the analogy, but it's one that has always been used.
(24:00):
That's how I pitched the stat tracker all those years
ago at Yahoo. When they're like, all right, how do
we monetize things beyond clicks? It's all right, here's your
taste for free. Right, it's the sample aisle at Costco.
It's like, what do you why you're back again. It's like, hey,
I'm getting a meal all of there. But the the
idea that you get a taste and you like it,
(24:21):
and then when it goes away, you're like, you know what,
Sundays are better with this? Right, with the stat tracker
back when everybody was charging for fantasy games. You got
to track your league for the year not not bad, right,
or you can buy it as a league, uh and
get your discount. You know, the group right as it were.
But it's the that idea of getting more and more
(24:43):
eyeballs and getting away from direct TV. Now their stock
is trading. I want to say it like fifty eight,
fifty nine, uh today off a fifty two week high
of ninety three. Now that doesn't say a ton because
the market as a whole is depressed. So we'll see
what happens when in an actual and anouncement is made.
But you're you're looking at the ever expanding opportunities here,
(25:06):
you know, to to see how you can carve this up.
What other programming can you include to entice people their
local teams, local feeds, local commenters, all all of those
things that make it that much more attractive beyond whatever
the host of TV shows, movies and original programming that
(25:27):
you have to offer. Jason Smith Mike harmon Fox Sports Radio.
We're talking about the NFL deal going to streaming, so
Sunday tickets going to be heading there very soon. Roger
Goodells's announcement could come as early as this fall. Now,
the other part of this is that streaming overall has
just run rampant the last few years, and there's been
(25:47):
a lot of success, especially during the pandemic, when what
do we all do? We all stayed inside and watch TV, right,
And that became a new way of life for us
as a We're watching TV more than ever because the
content that was on is really really good. TV has
never been better. But there's a reason why this is
such a big deal and and and the NFL going
to streaming, and the fight this is going to be
(26:10):
to get Sunday ticket is because the next couple of years,
I think you're gonna see kind of a settling of
the streaming landscape because there's so many streaming services now
and how many can you really have? Are you really
going to have all of them? You know, you're you're
paying more than you did for your cable right exactly,
because because if you want all these great show and
there's great shows on every streaming package that's out there,
(26:33):
I'm telling you there are, but how many are you
gonna pay for? Are you? Are you gonna pay for Netflix?
And you're gonna pay for Apple, and you're gonna pay
for HBO Max, you're gonna pay for Paramount, You're gonna
pay for Amazon, You're gonna pay for Disney. I mean
that's a lot that sounds, and so I mean it's
a lot. I mean you're talking about your cable bill
now being you know, or just your streaming bill being
like a hundred dollars a month. Well, and if you're
(26:54):
like us, where you still need to be able to,
you know, watch sports beyond those packages, you still have
to have some level of cable, whether it's you TV
or Direct TV or UH Spectrum or whatever your cable
is locally. Now you're adding that on top of whatever
the streaming stuff you have for each member of the
family and for other interests that you have. Yeah, people
(27:17):
are gonna have to make choices because they're gonna say, Okay,
what do I I don't want all of this, and
I'll I'll give up a couple of shows and all right,
I really like you know, Amazon, but you know The
Boys is not going to be back for another year,
And do I really need Amazon? No? I don't need
Amazon anymore. And the old HBO rule, right, Hey, Sopranos
is gonna be gone for eighteen months, right, do I
(27:37):
need that? Right? I love HBO Max, but Hacks isn't
coming back for a while, and Mayor of East time,
So people are going to be making tough decisions and
it's tough to say I want to cut Apple Plus
if they have the NFL. So this is why this
is such a big deal, because there's gonna be a
fight to stay alive for streaming services the next couple
of years, because some of them are gonna make it right,
(27:59):
because like I said, you're gonna have to make there's
just too many and too much out there, and it's
we have this and that, you know what, it's just
too many and we're not going to get any more
regulation of it because you could see more streaming services
coming out as we go. But the next couple of years,
I think you're gonna see it and we're gonna get
down to I I would say, in the next two years,
you're gonna see a couple go away because they don't
(28:19):
make the money, they don't get the subscribers they did,
and they're not going to have growth. And if you
don't have growth, you're not going to be around. And
so I would say by five will be down to
like a big four. They're probably like four streaming services,
and that's gonna be it and everything else people aren't
gonna watch it, And it may be what we see.
It could be Netflix and Apple and Amazon and Disney, right,
it could be those now. And there's some thought that
(28:42):
Netflix is right for an acquisition, right because the cost
of original programming. And this really gets deep inside baseball
and me spending way too much time on business sites
going through this stuff. But you already have several of
the competitors that you've mentioned that are are also rans
Netles clearly not one of those, but from a stagnation
(29:05):
uh part, that's where they fall in. But you may
have a bit of consolidation and best of brand that
already uh starts to develop here and might be happening
behind the scenes, much like the U s c U
c l A say, and undercover of Jight, we packed
our trucks and we we left for Baltimore. So yeah,
(29:25):
it's gonna be It's gonna be a really interesting next
two years where some streaming services you have that you
love aren't gonna be around. And that's it's a big
because if you get the NFL for the next five
or six year, you're not going anywhere. You're not going anywhere,
and you're gonna be You're gonna be up at the top.
You're gonna be up at the top of Netflix and
and everybody else is gonna be fighting for relevancy. That
that's where the next couple of years is going to go.
(29:46):
Streaming was well because the other part of that, Jason,
whoever wins, that feeds the rest of the beast, right,
So you gotta be the long play, figure out what
the upfront is right, and and the check that needs
to be cut, if one needs to be done right away.
That allows you to then start funding all that other programming,
and then that machine starts to get momentum like Dante
Colepepper and Randy Moss did all those years ago. Twitter
(30:09):
and how about a Fresco Mike gets swollen done the
Jason Spitzer with Mike comment, We're full of what the
next few years in sports is gonna bring us, aren't we? Right?
Actions to a man who has no streaming services and
still believes in the old fashioned way of consuming programs
on the radio, he listens to nighttime soap operas all
the time. It is Steve the Sager with what's trending?
You know you're talking about not every streaming service is
(30:31):
going to be around shortly. I you know, this is
just between us. Don't tell anybody else. I hear CNN
Plus is not doing well, So just between us. I
don't want to say anything, but you know, listen, they're gone,
but if they get the NFL package, people are gonna
watch for those who are with us. A few minutes ago,
(30:51):
the NFL did confirm that the Sunday Ticket TV package
will be moving to a streaming service after this season.
So will the price be going up for the common man,
the common fan. Well, we had a response to Roger
Goodell from Jim Kramer on CNBC No idea, what it's
like out there? Yeah, so there we always suspected that.
(31:12):
Now now we know for sure. Yeah. But if it's
important to you, Steve, you'll pay. You'll pay. And now
let's go back to the studio to break down the
first half with Anderson, Cooper and se Cup. Go ahead,
what do you buy that for us? I'll catch it
on CNN Plus later. And then Kramer yelled at him,
why do you hate Dave Portnoy Anderson, I have the
(31:38):
Republicans getting seven here in the second half. I really think,
da oh, we're in mid game. Betting now the Independence
watch out for the Independence? Do they come? Wait? Why
are they preempting my NFL with November election results? That
betting on that. He's the funny one on the sitcom, right,
he enters the apartment in a different way that Jim
(31:58):
k Yeah, eactly, he's hilarious. Speaking of hilarious, the Angels bullpen.
They gave up three runs in the bottom of the
night just now to lose at Baltimore five four or
the Baltimore Orioles have won six games in a row.
They're almost at You know, it was what two weeks
ago where you said, hey, the Orioles have about the
(32:19):
same record as the Angels. It's not gonna be close
the way things are going. The night he played, of
course he played, but no, I don't believe he had
an hit well, like like a lot of hitless games
in September when he was on that streak. Mike Trout
Homer show, Hey Otani with a late solo homer and
still an l for the Angels. And by the way,
(32:42):
they did announce the All Star starters. The All Star
Game at Dodger Stadium was a week from Tuesday on
Fox TV. The d h for the American League will
be Otani. The American League outfielders to start Mike trout,
Gencarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge. Yankees are leading eleven five at
Boston in the bottom of the eighth. By the way,
the NL outfield Mookie beats Jack Peterson and Ronald Acuna
(33:05):
Kunia with a home run for the Braves tonight. In fact,
they've hit four, but it's a weather delay in the
bottom of the eighth with the Braves up ten two
on the Nationals, and in fact, there's a chance of
rain in Atlanta for the next week. Just for the record,
the Reds in ten innings be Tampa Bay two to
one on a ball. The Reds offense went four for
twenty nine with twelve strikeouts and still won the game.
(33:26):
The Marlins was a walk off ball, that's correct. And
it looked like the picture was literally just moving his
glove like can you go through the signs again? And
they counted that as starting his motion. Fuck, I have
to go to the bathroom maybe to say the manager
came out on that one for discussion that went nowhere.
(33:46):
Needless to say, Marlin's are leading at the Mets five
two in the bottom of the ninth inning. Elsewhere we
do have the Twins winning well, they were winning again.
The Rangers had committed three airs early. Rangers have just
taken in the lead six five on the Twins. At
the top of the seven Corey Seeger with his seventeenth
home run his old team. The Dodgers are scoreless with
(34:07):
the Cubs. In the bottom of the second, Dodgers have
bases loaded two outs. And have you seen the Padres
uniforms tonight? Their City connect jerseys and unis with the
pinks leaves and the catcher in the completely all pink
garb Padres lead three nothing on the Giants in the
top of the fourth on a three run bomb first
inning from Manny Machado. And you mentioned the NBA's Summer League.
(34:31):
It just started in Vegas last night. The Brooklyn Nets
Cam Thomas Summer League MVP last year had thirty one
points in thirty one minutes for the Nets tonight, although
they lost to Milwaukee for what it's worth, and for
the Knicks, Quentin Grimes twenty four points. Farren Hunt from
s m U seven steals to go with his seventeen points.
That's the Summer League record, Summerlee record, summer record. The
(34:54):
Knicks defeated the Warriors. Moses Moody though in three quarters
for Golden State with thirty four points. Back to you, Well,
it doesn't matter. The Knicks can hang a bat or
they're the real champs. Now that's right, they're the real chests.
Like that? What was it? Kyle Kuzma and VP of
the Summer League Twitter it out about a Fresca Mike

basketball Inside is bringing you a unique perspective on all
things hoops culture that you will not find where to
make your next move your best move and tap in
with me from kJ Live wherever you get your podcast from,
taking me back to Guitar Hero, Fox Sports Radio, The
(36:27):
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Rmon. And
because it's a Friday, you want to have a little fun,
want to educate. I want to make things easier for
people who are looking for careers in the sports entertainment industry. Okay, sure,
And because of this, so we're starting a school. Uh
we could we could? I mean we could, I don't know.
(36:51):
We We probably need some kind of funding for that. Well,
I mean we can always do a Patreon or go
fund yourself. Well we could do that. Sure, we could
do that that. Folks might want to give us money.
I don't know. Yeah, um so in exchange for goods money?
Explain how so earlier today in a speech. You've you've
seen this over the internet over the course of the
(37:11):
day today, Uh President Biden. All the ron Burgundy means
because he was reading the teleprompter and giving a speech
about women's reproductive rights, and he said repeat line, which
was you know, a sign from the teleprompter to repeat
the line that he had said before, but instead he
read it as repeat line. So well, you added with
more and fascist, yes, you do that, And of course
(37:34):
all the ron Burgundy stuff came out. How don't you
know he's gonna read everything you're putting the teleprompter. Uh So,
But I I will say this, and this is really
important this and this is there's certain things and certain
skills you have to have to work. And whenever I
wind up talking to kids and and you know they're
in college and they want to know what to do
(37:56):
in certain things, is I always tell them, I said,
you have to make sure you can work with a prompter,
and that you can work without a prompter, right, because
working without a prompter, that's flying without a net. That
is something that you absolutely have to do. But working
with a prompter, you gotta do it, and it's a skill.
And I remember the first time I had to read
a prompter. When I was filling hosted on Jim Roman's
(38:16):
Burning for ESPN, I was so nervous, like, what if
I can't read the prompter? Because I had seen because
I've been in TV for a long time, but I
was on the production side of it. I've seen people's
careers just end because they couldn't read the prompter. As
of people drink. Coming up next on the show, we
find out if Aaron Rodgers will make all that money
with his new contract. Stay tuned. I'm like, okay, copy
(38:39):
you've seen for the first time. That's like reading an
ad for the first time. Yeah, here's a live reading.
You wait, you read it like that, You're never getting brought.
But I know people who are big stars right now,
speaking of Jim Romans Burning, I'll paul pull the curtain
back a little bit. Speaking of Jim Romans Burn, when
I filled in hosting that show, right, it was it
was awesome time for me. You know, I had you know,
Jim and I had great relationship. It was it was right.
(39:00):
I love doing it. And then down, no, no, no, no, no,
we still know. I still get along prime uh and
and I remember going in and there's other people that
I saw phill In host that are big stars in
the media right now that just didn't get brought back
because they couldn't read the prompter. It was, oh, we
can't have you on television anymore, and and they have
now segued away from television into doing other things. Reading
(39:24):
a prompter is a huge skill, and I was lucky,
you know, I gotta be truthful here on the show.
I'm really good at it. I'm really smooth reading. And
it's it is. You have to be able to do it.
You gotta be able to do it if you haven't
seen stuff. You have to do to know what you
want to say and not look like you're reading and
read like you're not reading. It is a huge skill
and I didn't know about it. I didn't know, Am
(39:44):
I gonna be good at it? Can I do it?
Can I not? And I was lucky that it was
something that came kind of easy to me and I
understood how to do it. But you see things like
this is the President that as you know, I mean,
many public figures we've seen have trouble reading the teleprompter
and and not be able to read it right or
missing emphasis on a line, or missing saying what they're saying,
or getting lost and knowing what happens if the prompter
(40:06):
scrolls too faster, too slow for you, you have to
time it out. I mean, it is a big time skill.
If you can't do that, if you can't work with
a prompter, you can't work in television. But if you
can't work without a prompter, you can't work in television.
Either those two things. You absolutely have to have both
of those skills if you're gonna be on TV. Well,
the other thing is always be more important than to
(40:28):
the operation than the guy or or a woman operating
the prompter, because you can claim they went too faster,
too slow, and it's their fault. It's your fault, prompter.
You bag me on that. I can't believe that go faster,
but it's stuck. But it's stuck. It's like you know,
Sam can attest to this. You miss a cue, you
miss a prompt. Now the button stuck. Come on, you
(40:52):
screw you, screwed me on, screwed me. And coming up next,
we have the scroll faster, scroll faster fast, A very
special guest coming your way. That's too fast, it's too fast.
And Too Fast, Slow Down, Slow down Here on the show.
I mean you gotta be able to do it, gotta
(41:12):
Twitter and how about a fresco Mike and Swollen down.
