get to a big sporting event that crowned's champion tonight,
let me just say this, guys, thank you about this today?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
All right?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
So today was really another rough day for the Cowboys
with Kellen Moore being named the Saints head coach. Right,
here's a guy that Cowboys had him, cowboysided didn't want him.
Jerry Jones wanted to move on, and here he is.
He wins a Super Bowl with the Eagle as their OC,
and now he gets hired as the Saints head.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah, not just with any team, but in division. So
pesky Eagles.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
We've known this for a while, that that Kellen Moore
was going to get this job, right. We knew this
for about a week or so it was reported that a, Yeah,
Saints are waiting for Kellen Moore.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
We kind of knew.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Mike McCarthy backed out or whatever the reality of those
situations are, right, or he was told beat it, We're
going after this other guy, whatever.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It is, and you couldn't name it after the Super Bowl,
I get it.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
So a couple of days before the Super Bowl, Luka
Doncic gets traded to the Lakers. Now we know that
Mark Cuban said, I didn't really have a role in this.
Maybe he might have tried to stop it at the.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Last minute, trying to And it was the new.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Mavericks ownership that made this trade. So I ask you,
what are the odds to draw the fire away from
the Cowboys? Jerry Jones made the Mavericks trade Luca Donson.
So now suddenly, mate, Jerry doesn't look like the worst
guy running a team in Dallas. Now does he all
of a sudden the hey, I gotta put the gotta
(02:20):
put the Nico guy ahead of me. Uh, you know
making that trade, Harrison Fellow, you know I'm definitely above
him as far as running the team.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Mocked at an SMU get got to do that. I
told the guy the game last night. Hey, just say
blank Nico or fire Nico or whatever you want to say,
and if you get kicked out, I'll give your tickets
to a Cowboys get.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Good tickets.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Something is that they showed their bottom line of all
these years of futility, even with bad headlines. Yeah, but
how much money we're making. Yeah, maybe you don't need.
You don't need to give that guy a MAX.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
That's all real. Super Bowl is the money that we make.
But when we.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Get our electronic transfer from the league for their part,
for our part, and what we do for the TV revenue.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Boy, I tell you, Jerry, do you have a reaction
to the uh Kellen Moore getting hired as head coach
of the of the Saints.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, I saw that today. How about Luca? How about that? Huh? Boy?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
That was I don't know that I made that trade.
That's like me trading back in ceed wrapped into one.
Not that I wouldn't do it if I got you know,
like uh Tony back from from the booth at CBS.
But boy, that'd be like me doing that. I wouldn't
do that. Steven, do it like we practiced. I'm gonna
keep talking in the background. You just keep going knee.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Steven.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
You told that guy to ask that question for me
right at the press conference, so I can that right
and you get okay, just so we know that question
is gonna come.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I got my answer all set. That would be really
interesting though.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
If Jerry Jones listen, you can do all sorts of
crazy stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
The money's gonna keep flowing in. So just you don't
want to pay Luca, here's what you do. Hey, I'm
more all in than the than the Mavericks are. I'll
tell you that much. Now.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I'll tell you it took a while to convince them that, hey,
you gotta go get a guy that's real injury prone
coming back to to make the trade look worse.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
And uh, you.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Know, hey, maybe maybe Jerry Jones told ad Ay, maybe
you're not healthy enough to play the next few weeks.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Hey, uh, maybe next few weeks. You play one game
and you play really really good, and then maybe you
don't play for a while.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
And that I tell you, we as big as the
Mavericks are here, Uh, Dallas Cowboy's number one team in
this in in the city, in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
We have to look good coming off of everything. You
understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Does this make him more or less likely to trade
Micah Parsons this offseason?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I got I gotta get my neck getting next season
of land Man. Got to make sure that I'm still at.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
The top of the top of the conversation.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
And uh, we'll save something big, because if I do
trade Macka Parsons, people are gonna get upset with me.
But I would just say they would say, hey, Jerry,
how about that big trade today?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I would say, Luca wasn't traded today? What big trade
you're talking about? You traded Maka Parsons. Yeah, but they
traded Luca. Just so you know, it's really comparing. I mean, yeah,
but you like you're doing the whole Homer thing. Not
gonna only plays one side of the ball, So I mean,
you know, I mean not like Luca plays defense and
he's slow, but you know still. I mean it's that's
Luca hot traded Mica. Like when Marge starts enumerating all
(05:07):
the issues that Homer has and he goes, yeah, but
you have a gambling problem, and you did this, and
you did this.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Telly, but you Its been.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Has been a whole big off season plan to get
the heat off the Cowboys, and now it's just starting
to make it work. Well, that is a slow play
of the highest degree, and now it's all on them
because look, we've got friends and family back in Dallas.
It has been merciless and and Jerry's been able to skate,
like even with the Eagles winning the Super Bowl, it
(05:39):
ain't about him. A little bit about Michaeh Parsons righting
his podcast and some of the stuff he stuffs some
of these stuff he's had to say about different parts
of the organization and what he thinks they should do
and evaluating players and all that fun stuff. But for Jerry,
he's been able to kind of slip into the background.
(06:00):
It's pretty genius. Actually, Hey, I like you.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I didn't do it like you just show like here's
here's uh Nico at the press conference and everybody else
he just shows up.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Hey, y'all, how y'all doing. Never I'd never make a
deal like this. See he later just walks through and smiles.
Everybody drinking pepsi? Is everybody drinking pepsi?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
All right?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
He makes that face like Kendrick Lamar did after he
made the Drake reference. Just look straight at the camera, grins,
and then just keeps walgking.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Gotta go, gotta gotta go. Talk to Taylor Sheridan about
my next Rold movie role. It's gonna be good. I'm
gonna play Kevin Costner's dad.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
We'll all go. I probably shouldn't say that. That's okay
this time I get a three minute model. So just
just something to think like that. Yeah, happy to think
about Jerry Megan. He did a whole Jedi mind drink
on him.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Now Tonight we saw the crowning of another champion, Oh
another one on FS one and it was a champions.
I didn't think someone named Monty Monty would walk away
with Best in Show.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
For Best in.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Show at the ninth annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show,
I choose the giant Schnauzy Monty.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You did it three years A final rooms.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Best in Show.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
What an incredible moment for Katie Bernandon money the magnifice
of your twenty twenty five Best in Show the giant Schnauzer.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Congratulations Sandra Nordstrom. Katie Erndon from sherl Aeron Ambrose. What
a great win for all of you tonight. Incredible three
Street group wins.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
You joked about a three peat with nothing like winning
at all.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Ask anybody who's been there, who's felt the championship for
being on top of things with the garden.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Hey, I've taught hard to win three in a row
was really tough this weekend.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
My dad almost got in a fight with John Rocker.
There were three peats. Tough. Monty was able to do it.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
That's a really good dog.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Right there.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
I'm looking at a picture of Monty. I'm reading an
article right now from the Registered Citizen. Pretty good article
talking about this Connecticut dog and rising up to the town.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Was there an interview with Monty?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, he had this to say, Hey, who do you
think is the best baseball player who ever lived? U?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Oh, what's on top of the house that you see
with a chimney? All right, very good, very nice.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Hey, he won the first group was thirteen other schnauzers
took him down, and then there.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Was this year, three hundred and fifty two dogs competing.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Well, now did they say this was the third year
that Monty tried to win and finally won.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It seems like that. I think that's what I heard there.
I'm trying to get through this article. It's a long, Yeah,
it's really a long please on Schnauzer on tip of
the Show day for MONTI starts at six o'clock.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
It's a really big article on someone that doesn't.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Know no really, it just keep going does and then
there's all sorts of pictures and then he had a couple
of heads.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
There's no interview with Monty because Monty doesn't speak. MANI
was an natural.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Sometimes they're just born with that little sparkle sometimes, you
know when you look at it. You know when I
was I saw when he was nine weeks old. I
looked at him and I thought he was special.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Then this dog had greatness written all over all over.
You know, I'm watching the celebration after Monty is named
best in Show and and uh, and I'm looking at
him and he's staring up and I'm going, does he
know what's going on, Like, does he know does he know?
Does he know that he knows that everybody is happy?
He knows his handler is happy as human is happy
as But like, does he know that you know that
(09:45):
he did something well? That he that he that he
was better than all the other dogs? Like I wonder
what dogs know? Like like does he just think, Hey,
I did this. It's exciting and I'm happy my yes, yeah,
my owner?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Whatever? What do they say? You know?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I mean, a dog is the only living thing that
loves you more than itself, right, which I which I
always I love goodness, believe that he's an idiot, you
think about mine? But like, a dog is the only
animal that will love you more than it loves itself.
And I want like, does he know that he did
something really well? Or is he just like, hey, I
do what she tells me, and and it seems to
(10:20):
work out.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Anybody's smiling, Hey, the crowd scenes.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I mean that wonderful dog knows that now Here in
this article four year career thus far for old money.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Here for Monny's gonna get. I'll tell you the money
he's going to be doing his contract extension.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
But it's interesting you're starting to see the ads for
you know, the handlers, because they gotta do all this
running and stuff and that's facing A lot of them
aren't in the best shape, so they're talking about the
supplements they're taking for their knees and their ankle I
just traded Macha Parsons for Moni, and uh, we're hoping
that he gives a little more.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Bite to the defense. I see see what I did that?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I make jokes, Hey, Taylor Sheridan, give me a comedy
scene and land Man. Yeah, but he's already got sixty
Best in Show like many I mean, this is this
is life from Moni. This isn't just so so the
life for his handlers. I mean, what else can you
do if you're running around? Is sixty sixty shows? MANI
winning the Super Bowl? Can we get transported out there?
Forget about going and covering the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Whatever?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Like?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Can we go out to New York Bested show and
cover Best in Show? Can we just you know, put
in for that? This is I mean, I know I
know the other so how about we try This is.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Kind of off topic, but how much you think I
could bench press? I could bench press one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I want to go watch Beston Show now after that,
and we hear our old friend and colleague Chris Myers
on the call comes over the top the unmistakable voice
to talk about Monty.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You know, I remember one time getting Fred Willard on
my show on esp NO during Best during while beston
Show was going on, here we got Fred. Wow, I saw,
you know, we talked about he was a great guest, right,
great guest, talked about Doughlin. He was affing like having
fun and at the end it was it was I
taped the interview during the day so we could run
(12:05):
it at night, right, and it was it was fantastic.
Of course he was on, I'll come on you you know,
this is back when you know, in the in the
mid aughts where when ESPN wanted to do something like
you did it right, ye, So they're like, oh, yeah,
of course I'll come on.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
He was great.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
He was so much fun and we finished, we finished
the conversation. This is you know, I'll must be like
being a Hollywood star and Fred Willards is so it
was such an amazingly funny dude. Like we end the
interview and h I said, oh my god, Fred I said,
thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
That was so great.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
It's been I've enjoyed your career so much, and it's been.
It was great to get to talk to you and
thank you so much. She said, yeah, you got it.
Click yeah, And I was like, okay, all right, this.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Is obviously a bigger highlight for me. Okay, and it
was for him. Okod all right, that's that's great.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
He can but it doesn't matter because he was great
on the yet told stories.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
It was. It was fantastic, totally appropriate.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
We're also celebrating and we saw the patch is that
the Brewers will be wearing for Bob youker that we've
got a dog named MONI.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, I mean that. That's a job.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I wonder like I always say, like, hey, give me
two weeks and I could learn to be one of
the sweepers for u uh shuffle board. I could do
it for curling, right, I could do that. I need
a little give me a couple of weeks to get
what it's like, you know, with the special shoes on
the ice and when to sweep and when not to
although when the guy goes or the woman yells, I
(13:26):
mean sweep and when they don't I don't sweep, so
give me two weeks that how logs would it take
me if you give me a dog? That that that
that I could run the best in show, that I
could run.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Them around the thing where they were.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
They get to look at them and then do the
couple of quick tricks, you know, pause up, whatever it
is when when the woman or the judge comes around
and look like, I think I could do that's your cardio.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Look at these, I think you're.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Cold.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
You can't get caught up in the leash.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Shot the dog, my dog every day, but you're gonna
be smiling like a jackass for the cameras at me.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I mean, think about what outfit would you pay.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Here's Benny and his handler, who's wearing a Curtis Martin
New York Jets jersey over black sweatpants with paint stains,
moving around pretty well. And boy, look at Benny. He's
just so happy.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
He looks like a combination of the Joker and Payton Stewart.
We're not quite sure what he's going for. And the
look here, he's got a little bran and it's all plaid.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
All I gotta do is just run him around and
then when the judge comes over, I just show the
teeth or the paws whatever I mean. I think like
in a week, I could do that. The dog would
have to get used to me for a week. Obviously
I couldn't do it cold because who was it. But
then they would see that I'd be the dog. Hey,
I'll give you a treat no matter what. Like I'm
that one, I'm the weak one in the house whenever,
whenever food is there, Benny comes right to me, going,
I'm just gonna sit here and look at you for
Lauren Lee, and You're gonna give me a treat. And
(14:47):
I'm going, yeah, I showed you the picture of my
dog earlier. It's like, hey, he've been fed this afternoon.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
He's looking he's really selling that he's hungry right now.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Don't let him convince you that he hasn't. I already
at bad food. But I think I could do that.
I think he can give me a week.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And I could be one of the Here here is
Jason Smith and the Besting Show with his two year
old dog, Benny, who is a multipoo blend.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I think this has got to be your next next triumph.
I'll right, we've been handling the broadcasting world. Clearly, we
got the rams of Super Bowl, the Lakers, Lucas showed.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Up now feuding with JJ Reddick to the point where
potentially I convinced the Lakers to make that big, bold
move for Lucas and now, okay.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Big bigods. Right behind the scenes, he might have been.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Grousing about stuff we were saying, find finding the elements
of truth in it, this is on the radio and
some and then Rob Polinka overhears and because you know what,
we really should make a move. And it really was
him muttering under his breath and mumbling about his hatred
of view. Yeah, that really helped precipitate this because of us.
If I get you, Luca, Yeah, okay, we'll make that
(15:50):
trade for stop.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
You know, your brooding and cursing in the.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Hallways is not good for morale, really not helping us
at all. So yeah, so you got that, You got that,
and now you can go conquer the next I mean radio.
We're doing well, okay, right, we still need to keep
impressing the polsters for future rankings and stuff. But thank
you for those that acknowledge us. But we also look
at it. This is a new place for you to conquer.
(16:14):
You get whether it's Benny or you need to bring
in another another dog alongside Benny. You only you can
decide how pretty uh and how much Benny can voting electric.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
As long as nothing no, no, Benny would be great
and he's adorable, as long as it's not done near
a road, because if something distract him he would run
into the street. So I mean he can't be as
long as he's inside where there's he doesn't see a
squirrel or another dog, or a bird or a gopher
or something.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
This is where JJ Reddick would show up, and he'd
randomly let a squirrel loose right as Benny was getting
ready to take his turn.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Who did it?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Reddick?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
We're good inside? Oh this year the west bench dogg
what's it gonna be? It's gonna be on the sidewalk. Yeah,
Benny's out, can't do it.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
No.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
We found out that JJ Reddick is a I un
available to coach the the Lakers for an undisclosed reason tonight.
And there he is in the third row staring at
you exit out by a fresca exit swollen dome. Congratulations,
money and not the money and the money.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
For Major League. He's a real Monty. This is Monty.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Have we ever checked in on money from Major League?
How he's doing fly ball?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Caught Hey, he's not the best color man in the business.
For nothing.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Everybody for congratulations money, party like a dog rock Star. Tonight,
I'll tell you what coming up next, we get into
the biggest, silliest NFL controversy between a Super Bowl quarterback
and his potential Hall of Fame teammate.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
That's next, Jason to Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
The next ten Jason Smith won nine eight. I look
up for it.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I just want to make sure because I'm not gonna
respond to Jason.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I understand it.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I got you, Luca, Come on, man, I got the Lakers. Luca, Now,
I understand didn't back you at all.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
No, we got to talk to Wake tomorrow and find
out why I didn't back now good point.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I know he should have backed me up on it.
It's anything got scared.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Of JJ Reddick in the moment, Who's no I know,
I just didn't know I was feuding with JJ.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Now I know what you know. Now I know, I
know beef. Now I got beef. Now we have beefef beef.
Now now we're beefing.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Lot from the
tire rack dot Com studios. Uh, twitter at, how about
a fresco not at? Jason Smith won four six and
we couldn't even.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Get that as it was too long. Yeah, it was
one digit too long.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
So I actually have registered the account without the O
in your name. Oh okay, so it's all red Jason.
So is my older daughter. As I was driving home,
she she came up with that, going, I mean, it's
not completely right because I don't think you can also
get the uh you know, the the demarcation of the
long a right where we can get the line like
(19:10):
you would with an umlat if you were actually typing something. No,
you can't do that.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yeah, because that's one letter. But that's great.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
That'd be a great burner account where I could just
say all kinds of.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Crazy, you know, So it cut off one of the
numbers in its initial formation, that would be where that
would be the account where I would get on it,
and I would just every day I would ask JJ
Reddick a question on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I would at JJ Redick with a question about the Lakers.
Jj Reddick still the Lakers coach. Why do you hate
Jason Smith? Why do you hate Jason Smith? Why do
you wante Jason Smith? Why do you hate Jason You
better ask Wiky why didn't have your back? I got it? Well,
get him on tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
We would have had him on tonight, but he's flying
back from or he's flying to Utah covering the lake. Yeah, tomorrow,
so we're hopeful to get him tomorrow night on the show.
Hopefully we can get him to ask a question going, Hey,
what what's Jason I mean, outside of criticizing him as
Laker's head coach, which I've done a lot up until
the Luca trade, I mean, I don't know why, but why.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Does Jason Smith fuel you? So I want approve that
guy wrong?
Speaker 4 (20:06):
This long distance dedication, I mean question comes from Mike,
who sits alongside Jason Smith at the box Sport Radius.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I'll tell you what we'd like to know. Why do
you hate Jason?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
So all my friends who reached out to me today
and I said, is this real? Does this happen? I go,
I think it's real. I don't know, I mean I
think so. And then more time went on, I'm like, yeah,
I think it's real. And my one friend from Arizona
said to me, what's the deal with them? A couple
people said me, what's the deal with the numbers? And
he didn't understand that the numbers is just when you
say that, it's some way to say, hey, you're just
(20:37):
a random person on Twitter when you're you know, Jim
one two six x three, because what they do when
they assign people when you sign up for Twitter. Yeah,
and so he says to me, what's the deal with
the numbers? And he said, is that like a message
out there to get you swatted?
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Well, I'm gonna give you the opportunity. I mean, you
could steal the old Terry Hatcher line from Seinfeld. I'm
Jason Smith, I'm real, Yeah, I'm big tag facular. Is
that a code to get you swatted? I don't Well,
I figure if it was, he'd easy to find that
I was calling out to some He gave out sub
subgroup of Lakers fans that have now been.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Activated one six four two. Yes, yes, going little swat
Jason Smith.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Now, yes, Jason, if you really listen closely to it,
He does say your name and then pauses like he
was really talking you, then added numbers. You want to
hear it again, Yeah, let's hear it again Smith. He
literally pauses, Yeah he knows you. Yeah, no, Oh, that's
like good. Charles Woodson shook your hand, and he just
kept saying, why do I know you?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
The number I know you?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
You know the number of people do I don't like
me that never met me? It's really weird, like even
you meet me.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I'm a nice guy.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Sometimes if you meet me and hate me after that,
I get it. But at least, I mean, some folks
have met you and stolen a beer right off off
the table, and at least you have met me. You
can said I met that guy once and he was
a jerk and I didn't like him at all. You know,
I'll wear it if you don't like whatever and what
I am. But in this particular case, I mean, you've
got a long history, like Curtis Martin was scared of you.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Well, I just shook Curtis Martin. You wouldn't let his
hand time. It was just a thought.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
You were also gonna you were gonna take the hat
that he had because it was a nice hat. That
was a nice that was but you had that. And
then the Charles Woodson, he's got the ass got on
the whole nine yard shying thing of wine on his
intercept wine and all of that, and and the entire
time he's shaking your hand, he wouldn't let go like
he did the inverse Curtis mart But the whole time
(22:36):
he's staring you down, trying to figure out whether.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
He hates you, likes you, or why he knows you.
I thought that was weird.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I'm shaking his head and this is the Super Bowl
a few years ago, and I thought he was gonna
do one of those karate where I shake hands like
a flip you.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Or eventually you were gonna get the giant glass to
the side like the glazier's uh glazer.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
And then we were talking aboutel and a bunch of boat.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah that was fun. It's good time. But all of
that to say, like you seem to you really spark something.
Oral Hirschheiser, Charles Woodson and now JJ Reddick.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Yeah, I mean the Oral Hirscheiser for those that don't
know the bad story, let's do it here talking about
starting pitching and the changing of how you don't really
need to spend huge amounts of money on starting pitching.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
You need extra pictures, Yeah, but finding money on a
big starting pitcher is a bad investment. Oh, by the way,
how ahead of the curve was on that, especially when.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
We talked about it long term, right when we're talking
about these long six to eight ten year deals whatever,
and where they'd come home to ruse Well waiting on
the hotline to come in to join that conversation with
Oral Hrscheizer.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Who did not take kindly to it, and I will
my understanding still hasn't. Yeah, I'm welcome to the show.
I said, Hey, orl, how are you doing? He goes,
why are you talking to me for I'm irrelevant?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
You don't need me.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I'm like, well, well, no, no, why are you talking
to me? You don't need me? I'm I'm I'm I'm overrated.
I was like, oh, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
And then the best part of it, the best part
of it was I was doing the show with Bill
Plashke here in and we had that that was the
whole thing, Like we talked about the starting pitching and
orl Herscheidz are km on.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
He didn't like the.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Fact that orl Hirscheidt, who was a great starting pitcher.
I just said, hey, nowadays, you know he's a changing game.
A bad investment is starting pitching. So he did the
interview with us. Everything was fine. He hung up, and
I looked at Bill Plashky and I said, hey, I said, wow,
he was I said.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
ORL isn't like me, does? He goes, no, no, man,
are you kidding? Orl loves that doll. He's fine, he's fine,
he's fine trying. ORL is a great guy?
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Man?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
No, no, because I loved the Bill's a great dude.
He's going no, no, man, no, orl loves you great guy,
great guy. Look, I'll text him.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
It's fine. It's fine, it's fine. I said, no, you
don't have to, it's not.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I'll text him. I'll text him, okay, great, And so
we're through. You know where we're were, And I asked him,
he did oral text you back? And he goes, no,
not yet, But I'm telling you, man, it's fine, it's fine,
it's fine.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
He didn't. Wait, everything is oh wait, wait, here. He
is here.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
He text me, hang on, what does he say? You know,
it's fine, It's fine, it's fine, it's fine. I told
you it's fine. I'm like, oh, okay, I don't think
that text was fine. I don't think what about JJ Reddick?
What did he have to say about it?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
A Smith six eight four nine eight looking up for you.
I just want to make sure because I'm not going
to respond to Jason.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
I understand. I understand. Thanks Dan, Wake Jason.
Speaker 10 (25:10):
Do you think maybe you found out you did like
one of those Super Bowl shows shirtless?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
You think maybe you heard about that? Whispers? It's like
a legend. Now, sure you were shirtless at the super Bowl?
Speaker 10 (25:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, well yeah I didn't know what
I'm saying. I was, Oh yeah, yeah, I forgot about that.
Maybe he doesn't, Well why would he be mad about me?
He's a big supporter of Radio Row. Who knows or shirts?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
You took your shirt? Is that what you kept me
from Radio Row?
Speaker 9 (25:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
No, I did always remember that. That was Yeah, that
was the the LA super Bowl years ago. Yeah, I
took your shirtless? Why did I take my shirt? He
just thought, Yeah, you were literally on air with Rmy
You're like, there, my shirt's off, and then you can
take my shirt off here on radio. I'll be the
first guy on radio.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Oh yeah, yeah, I said I could be the first
guy on radio row shuretless with my shirt off.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
So I took my shirt off and we were there
that one night, and all of a sudden, the kids
were running through and they're trying to take stuff, and
we're yelling at them.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Hey, that's why I took my shirt off. Did a
whole sec with no shirt on. Yeah. Really one of
the stranger moments of my long yeah a little bit radio. Yeah,
but why not? Right when I did that, I look
forward to going to those events again, I don't.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I don't think that's why JJ reddick you sure, yeah,
because I looked at some of my tweets and some
of the funny tweets I wrote, when well, could you
give us an example of a funny one?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Sure? You know you're a funny comedians? What am I
a clown?
Speaker 4 (26:34):
I mean side, But I mean, look, if it's the
old rule of thumb of radio, right, if I'm entertained
and we're all kind of in the same kind of
vibe in the room, then it's going to translate to
everybody else. You may not love the joke, you may
not be full and guffaw or wet yourself all those
kind of things, but you're probably gonna appreciate, you know,
(26:55):
the the genesis, the origin story of that joke, and
the storytelling.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
In this case, it would appear JJ Reddick did not
uh no, no, So so let me tell you some
things that were some things. Okay, that just one.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
JJ Reddick being the guy to say, Bronnie James has
earned his playing time as both ballsy and hilarious.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
That is pretty Yes, that's good. Though, that's good. I
think it's a Magic Johnson tweet.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Two.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
It would be funny if it was. If Magic retweeted that.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
The reality is JJ Redick isn't going to be great,
and he isn't going to be terrible. Barring big personnel moves,
the Lakers will sort of be the same next season
as they were this year.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Was I wrong?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Was I wrong? I'm wrong? Was I wrong? I mean
it's not really a hot takery. I mean I'm not.
I mean, you didn't call for him to retire or anything. Yeah,
but I mean, look, it is what it is. I mean,
that's not bad though, right, I like this one too good?
Uh you know, prescient, you know, kind of thinking out
loud of where they were. Yeah, yeah, but he here
(28:00):
we go.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
It's to the point for the Lakers where it's just
a matter of time before they hire JJ Reddick as
their head coach. Yes, it's a risk, but it'd be
a new energy with the team and who else you
can hearing with them? Maybe another couple of weeks it'll
be official.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
See there's positivity. A couple weeks later they hire JJ Redick.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
I mean that's almost genuflecting at the altar of JJ
Reddick right there.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I mean, what's he got to be mad about? Okay?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Why do I think JJ Reddick is going to get
to the point where with the Lakers, like Roger Dorn
in Major League two would to fix things, he'll activate
himself to the roster.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Well, they still need a shooter, I mean, don't connect
didn't get off the bench yesterday. I'mn blow out against
the Jazz. But he comes back after the failed trade.
I think they still need a marksman.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
J may not be done yet.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
JJ Redick, who's never coached a game and could use
the reps, won't coach the Lakers summer League team, and
you wonder why the Lakers don't win that.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Hey, there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
You were just saying, hey, it's time to go to work, right,
I mean, look, we talk about it all the time, right,
and pull that curtain back, do your job.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
But look, but the whole thing I said in the beginning,
like if Reddick gets the Laker, like I needed two
things to happen. You got leave to get Wisconsin Tournament
and Reddick getting the Lakers into a top seat, and
suddenly I could like be the head coach of the Jets.
If you go from the broadcast booth, you see these
guys say, hey, man, all right, let's go because manager
of the Mets isn't gonna happen because Carlos Mendoz is
(29:21):
doing a hell of a job.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
But head coach of the.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Jets, yeah, okay, all right, yeah, but you know what
by junior calling for Mendoz's job, I mean, look, it's
it's science.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Also, the Gottli thing isn't looking so good.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, well you might go one for two, but maybe
maybe they're a great back half of the of the
year team and they go on a run in the
Horizon Tournament.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Okay, I mean that could happen.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
What's in the bag for Shark or something?
Speaker 3 (29:56):
After today? Mike Carmon, I got an idea? You got
an idea? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (30:00):
How to torment JJ reddick further with the help of
Ryan Berschinger and Alex Ticher. Thanks, though, it's continuing to
work on that. Okay, good about that ass whoa whoa
no no, no. JJ might be down, but uh, there's quickly.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
There is a.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Big controversy going on in the NFL surrounding Cam Newton,
former wide receiver Steve Smith and how each of them
feels about their time with the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Steve Smith very upset.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Had some comments that Cam Newton made on Travis Hunter's
podcast earlier this week, in which he said when he
got to the Panthers in twenty eleven, they were a
bunch of losers. Here's a little bit of Cam Newton
from the podcast.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
When I was the first pick. I went into a
locker room of losers. How did you end the the
pressure of being the top pick. Let's put it in perspective.
You're the top pick because what no, no, no, no.
You're looking at it from a personal situation. I'm talking
about from the professional situation. You're the top pick because
that was the worst team in a failed the year before.
For me, I wanted to be the number one pick.
(31:03):
You could potentially be the first pick, but bro, you
have no way of impacting the game like a quarterback does.
You can lock down the number one receiver, you can
make impact players on offense all you won't, but it's
still not like a quarterback. My issue is when I
was the first pick, I went into a locker room
of losers. Guys didn't know how to win, Guys didn't know.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
How to prepare. It was a culture shock for me.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
The games don't mean a lot to a lot of
people in the league like you would expect.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
It's just money.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Not everybody has capabilities to be impact players. They're just players.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Okay, so the first part when I came into a
locker room of losers, and basically everything he did he
did all by himself, not the offensive line block and form,
not the guy's catching passes. No, no, no, I did
everything myself. Again, what a great teammate Cam Newton must
have been. But then I kind of noticed a little
bit where he tells Travis Hunter, you could be the
number one pick in the draft, but you're not gonna
(31:52):
affect the game like a quarterback, not at all. Hey,
you can be the number one pick, Trapp, but you're
not going to be me. Again, what a special teammate
Cam Newton must have been. He already called Travis under
a ja.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, and just like and Steve.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Smith fired back on social media really upset with Cam
and you know, tried to walk away a little bit
at the end and say, you know, God bless you,
good luck with your life. I'm you know, I'm not
gonna get involved, but I can't believe you would do that.
Fifty three minus one star, fifty two losers. Right, So
now these guys who who had there back and forth
with getting along and not getting along, and this has
been a pretty big headline today.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Again, the amazing teammate Cam Newton must have been Steve
Smith fourteen hundred yards that year.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
However, I'll tell you what if I was building, if
I had a sports network, or I was looking to
launch the next great sports NFL sports debate show on during.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
The day, right to compete with everything going on right now.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
The first two guys I would hire would be Cam
Newton and Ben roethlis Oh yeah, Cam, I would both
because love them or hate them, and there's people that
love them and hey, yeah, whatever they say makes news.
Makes you think sometimes that they say is really smart.
I've seen Cam and Ben Roethlisberger say stuff and I go, wow,
that's really great insight. I've also seen Cam Newton here
say stuff like, dude, what are you insane saying that?
(33:13):
Really you think you've done everything by yourself. But whatever
they say when they talk, they make headlines. Now Roethlisberger
does it mainly with the Steelers because it's a Steelers
base podcast that he does, but anytime they speak, they
make news. And just think about a debate type show
with these two guys that clearly have a lot of
IDGAF in them. They're not people you have to worry
(33:35):
about going to the middle and taking it easy because
al well, this guy texted me, this player texted me,
and I don't know if I want to say that,
they would both let it fly. They both have the
cachet you're talking about. Roethlisberger is going to be a
Hall of Famer. Cam Newton's an MVP, went to the
super Bowl. It's a huge personality and an entertainer. Whatever
(33:55):
they say, people are going to pay attention to. And
just like the days when you would see you see
Stephen A. Smith and Skip trending and all the names
because something you know, crazy was said, Hey guess what
these guys would be there and it would be more
cachet because of the NFL players they were. You put
them on a show together and everybody would want to
see what they'd have to say. And again, it would
could be anything. It's like thirty one flavors, like like
(34:18):
like going into basket robins, like, hey, maybe they'll tell
me a funny story. Yeah, maybe they're gonna say something
really outlandish. Maybe they're gonna give me great insight being
a quarterback. But they're gonna give you something because they
have that great bit of IDGAF. They don't have any
real I need to be beholding to the NFL or
players that player. As you can see Cam Newton is
all about himself. The stories he would tell Roethlisberger, it
(34:40):
would be an insanely great show and it would all
of a sudden they would go wow, Jason Smith is
a programming genius. He came up with this idea right away,
and now it's working now.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I do appreciate Cam Newton doubling down on well, it's
all about me, right, because we had the would you
take the MVP and keep that or get the Super
Bowl ring and very clearly h yeah. He did not equivocate.
He just went out, no, I'm staying right where I'm
at because I'm great. The other guys can stink, but
I'm great, which is what he kind of said here,
(35:08):
even though he had Williams and Stewart and Olson and
Steve Smith, all of those guys ready to go all
of that to say, oh, and you know, pretty good
defensive players on the other side, one guy that might
be a Hall of Famer here at some point here,
But all of that, for Cam, yeah, I'm in. You
could just like spin the wheel and come up with
topics for him. He's going to say whatever he wants.
(35:32):
He's got no cares in the world for Roethlisberger, same thing,
very secure in himself. He's been through the fire. Some
would argue not necessarily enough for past, but he is
where he is now and same thing, very honest and
most of it the AFC North. But I think we
could expand pretty quick. I want to his former teammate.
(35:52):
Let's bring James Harrison into them, because he looks like
he wants to get after it and he takes personal offense.
Should you get after a defense. It's a player with
the wrong verbiage.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
He was just looking and say I want to be
on the show. I would say, yes, sir, you start tomorrow.
That's not a problem.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Oh boy, no, I like this. I I would back this.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Camon Roethlisberger. Man's got to bring his own wardrobe. Oh
you don't have budget for that. You got do something
different and great every days. Say there you go, extra
feathers exit out out a Fresco exit swollen dome for Mike,
Im Jason, my buddy Ben Maller coming up.

get to a big sporting event that crowned's champion tonight,
let me just say this, guys, thank you about this today?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
All right?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
So today was really another rough day for the Cowboys
with Kellen Moore being named the Saints head coach. Right,
here's a guy that Cowboys had him, cowboysided didn't want him.
Jerry Jones wanted to move on, and here he is.
He wins a Super Bowl with the Eagle as their OC,
and now he gets hired as the Saints head.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah, not just with any team, but in division. So
pesky Eagles.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
We've known this for a while, that that Kellen Moore
was going to get this job, right. We knew this
for about a week or so it was reported that a, Yeah,
Saints are waiting for Kellen Moore.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
We kind of knew.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Mike McCarthy backed out or whatever the reality of those
situations are, right, or he was told beat it, We're
going after this other guy, whatever.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It is, and you couldn't name it after the Super Bowl,
I get it.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
So a couple of days before the Super Bowl, Luka
Doncic gets traded to the Lakers. Now we know that
Mark Cuban said, I didn't really have a role in this.
Maybe he might have tried to stop it at the.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Last minute, trying to And it was the new.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Mavericks ownership that made this trade. So I ask you,
what are the odds to draw the fire away from
the Cowboys? Jerry Jones made the Mavericks trade Luca Donson.
So now suddenly, mate, Jerry doesn't look like the worst
guy running a team in Dallas. Now does he all
of a sudden the hey, I gotta put the gotta
(02:20):
put the Nico guy ahead of me. Uh, you know
making that trade, Harrison Fellow, you know I'm definitely above
him as far as running the team.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Mocked at an SMU get got to do that. I
told the guy the game last night. Hey, just say
blank Nico or fire Nico or whatever you want to say,
and if you get kicked out, I'll give your tickets
to a Cowboys get.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Good tickets.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Something is that they showed their bottom line of all
these years of futility, even with bad headlines. Yeah, but
how much money we're making. Yeah, maybe you don't need.
You don't need to give that guy a MAX.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
That's all real. Super Bowl is the money that we make.
But when we.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Get our electronic transfer from the league for their part,
for our part, and what we do for the TV revenue.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Boy, I tell you, Jerry, do you have a reaction
to the uh Kellen Moore getting hired as head coach
of the of the Saints.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, I saw that today. How about Luca? How about that? Huh? Boy?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
That was I don't know that I made that trade.
That's like me trading back in ceed wrapped into one.
Not that I wouldn't do it if I got you know,
like uh Tony back from from the booth at CBS.
But boy, that'd be like me doing that. I wouldn't
do that. Steven, do it like we practiced. I'm gonna
keep talking in the background. You just keep going knee.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Steven.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
You told that guy to ask that question for me
right at the press conference, so I can that right
and you get okay, just so we know that question
is gonna come.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I got my answer all set. That would be really
interesting though.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
If Jerry Jones listen, you can do all sorts of
crazy stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
The money's gonna keep flowing in. So just you don't
want to pay Luca, here's what you do. Hey, I'm
more all in than the than the Mavericks are. I'll
tell you that much. Now.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I'll tell you it took a while to convince them that, hey,
you gotta go get a guy that's real injury prone
coming back to to make the trade look worse.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
And uh, you.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Know, hey, maybe maybe Jerry Jones told ad Ay, maybe
you're not healthy enough to play the next few weeks.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Hey, uh, maybe next few weeks. You play one game
and you play really really good, and then maybe you
don't play for a while.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
And that I tell you, we as big as the
Mavericks are here, Uh, Dallas Cowboy's number one team in
this in in the city, in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
We have to look good coming off of everything. You
understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Does this make him more or less likely to trade
Micah Parsons this offseason?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I got I gotta get my neck getting next season
of land Man. Got to make sure that I'm still at.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
The top of the top of the conversation.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
And uh, we'll save something big, because if I do
trade Macka Parsons, people are gonna get upset with me.
But I would just say they would say, hey, Jerry,
how about that big trade today?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I would say, Luca wasn't traded today? What big trade
you're talking about? You traded Maka Parsons. Yeah, but they
traded Luca. Just so you know, it's really comparing. I mean, yeah,
but you like you're doing the whole Homer thing. Not
gonna only plays one side of the ball, So I mean,
you know, I mean not like Luca plays defense and
he's slow, but you know still. I mean it's that's
Luca hot traded Mica. Like when Marge starts enumerating all
(05:07):
the issues that Homer has and he goes, yeah, but
you have a gambling problem, and you did this, and
you did this.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Telly, but you Its been.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Has been a whole big off season plan to get
the heat off the Cowboys, and now it's just starting
to make it work. Well, that is a slow play
of the highest degree, and now it's all on them
because look, we've got friends and family back in Dallas.
It has been merciless and and Jerry's been able to skate,
like even with the Eagles winning the Super Bowl, it
(05:39):
ain't about him. A little bit about Michaeh Parsons righting
his podcast and some of the stuff he stuffs some
of these stuff he's had to say about different parts
of the organization and what he thinks they should do
and evaluating players and all that fun stuff. But for Jerry,
he's been able to kind of slip into the background.
(06:00):
It's pretty genius. Actually, Hey, I like you.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I didn't do it like you just show like here's
here's uh Nico at the press conference and everybody else
he just shows up.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Hey, y'all, how y'all doing. Never I'd never make a
deal like this. See he later just walks through and smiles.
Everybody drinking pepsi? Is everybody drinking pepsi?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
All right?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
He makes that face like Kendrick Lamar did after he
made the Drake reference. Just look straight at the camera, grins,
and then just keeps walgking.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Gotta go, gotta gotta go. Talk to Taylor Sheridan about
my next Rold movie role. It's gonna be good. I'm
gonna play Kevin Costner's dad.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
We'll all go. I probably shouldn't say that. That's okay
this time I get a three minute model. So just
just something to think like that. Yeah, happy to think
about Jerry Megan. He did a whole Jedi mind drink
on him.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Now Tonight we saw the crowning of another champion, Oh
another one on FS one and it was a champions.
I didn't think someone named Monty Monty would walk away
with Best in Show.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
For Best in.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Show at the ninth annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show,
I choose the giant Schnauzy Monty.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You did it three years A final rooms.
Speaker 3 (07:24):

Speaker 7 (07:26):
What an incredible moment for Katie Bernandon money the magnifice

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Congratulations Sandra Nordstrom. Katie Erndon from sherl Aeron Ambrose. What
a great win for all of you tonight. Incredible three
Street group wins.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
You joked about a three peat with nothing like winning
at all.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Ask anybody who's been there, who's felt the championship for
being on top of things with the garden.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Hey, I've taught hard to win three in a row
was really tough this weekend.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
My dad almost got in a fight with John Rocker.
There were three peats. Tough. Monty was able to do it.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
That's a really good dog.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Right there.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
I'm looking at a picture of Monty. I'm reading an
article right now from the Registered Citizen. Pretty good article
talking about this Connecticut dog and rising up to the town.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Was there an interview with Monty?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, he had this to say, Hey, who do you
think is the best baseball player who ever lived? U?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Oh, what's on top of the house that you see
with a chimney? All right, very good, very nice.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Hey, he won the first group was thirteen other schnauzers
took him down, and then there.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Was this year, three hundred and fifty two dogs competing.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Well, now did they say this was the third year
that Monty tried to win and finally won.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It seems like that. I think that's what I heard there.
I'm trying to get through this article. It's a long, Yeah,
it's really a long please on Schnauzer on tip of
the Show day for MONTI starts at six o'clock.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
It's a really big article on someone that doesn't.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Know no really, it just keep going does and then
there's all sorts of pictures and then he had a couple
of heads.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
There's no interview with Monty because Monty doesn't speak. MANI
was an natural.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Sometimes they're just born with that little sparkle sometimes, you
know when you look at it. You know when I
was I saw when he was nine weeks old. I
looked at him and I thought he was special.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Then this dog had greatness written all over all over.
You know, I'm watching the celebration after Monty is named
best in Show and and uh, and I'm looking at
him and he's staring up and I'm going, does he
know what's going on, Like, does he know does he know?
Does he know that he knows that everybody is happy?
He knows his handler is happy as human is happy
as But like, does he know that you know that
(09:45):
he did something well? That he that he that he
was better than all the other dogs? Like I wonder
what dogs know? Like like does he just think, Hey,
I did this. It's exciting and I'm happy my yes, yeah,
my owner?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Whatever? What do they say? You know?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I mean, a dog is the only living thing that
loves you more than itself, right, which I which I
always I love goodness, believe that he's an idiot, you
think about mine? But like, a dog is the only
animal that will love you more than it loves itself.
And I want like, does he know that he did
something really well? Or is he just like, hey, I
do what she tells me, and and it seems to
(10:20):
work out.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Anybody's smiling, Hey, the crowd scenes.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I mean that wonderful dog knows that now Here in
this article four year career thus far for old money.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Here for Monny's gonna get. I'll tell you the money
he's going to be doing his contract extension.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
But it's interesting you're starting to see the ads for
you know, the handlers, because they gotta do all this
running and stuff and that's facing A lot of them
aren't in the best shape, so they're talking about the
supplements they're taking for their knees and their ankle I
just traded Macha Parsons for Moni, and uh, we're hoping
that he gives a little more.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Bite to the defense. I see see what I did that?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I make jokes, Hey, Taylor Sheridan, give me a comedy
scene and land Man. Yeah, but he's already got sixty
Best in Show like many I mean, this is this
is life from Moni. This isn't just so so the
life for his handlers. I mean, what else can you
do if you're running around? Is sixty sixty shows? MANI
winning the Super Bowl? Can we get transported out there?
Forget about going and covering the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Whatever?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Like?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Can we go out to New York Bested show and
cover Best in Show? Can we just you know, put
in for that? This is I mean, I know I
know the other so how about we try This is.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Kind of off topic, but how much you think I
could bench press? I could bench press one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I want to go watch Beston Show now after that,
and we hear our old friend and colleague Chris Myers
on the call comes over the top the unmistakable voice
to talk about Monty.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You know, I remember one time getting Fred Willard on
my show on esp NO during Best during while beston
Show was going on, here we got Fred. Wow, I saw,
you know, we talked about he was a great guest, right,
great guest, talked about Doughlin. He was affing like having
fun and at the end it was it was I
taped the interview during the day so we could run
(12:05):
it at night, right, and it was it was fantastic.
Of course he was on, I'll come on you you know,
this is back when you know, in the in the
mid aughts where when ESPN wanted to do something like
you did it right, ye, So they're like, oh, yeah,
of course I'll come on.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
He was great.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
He was so much fun and we finished, we finished
the conversation. This is you know, I'll must be like
being a Hollywood star and Fred Willards is so it
was such an amazingly funny dude. Like we end the
interview and h I said, oh my god, Fred I said,
thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
That was so great.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
It's been I've enjoyed your career so much, and it's been.
It was great to get to talk to you and
thank you so much. She said, yeah, you got it.
Click yeah, And I was like, okay, all right, this.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Is obviously a bigger highlight for me. Okay, and it
was for him. Okod all right, that's that's great.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
He can but it doesn't matter because he was great
on the yet told stories.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
It was. It was fantastic, totally appropriate.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
We're also celebrating and we saw the patch is that
the Brewers will be wearing for Bob youker that we've
got a dog named MONI.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, I mean that. That's a job.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I wonder like I always say, like, hey, give me
two weeks and I could learn to be one of
the sweepers for u uh shuffle board. I could do
it for curling, right, I could do that. I need
a little give me a couple of weeks to get
what it's like, you know, with the special shoes on
the ice and when to sweep and when not to
although when the guy goes or the woman yells, I
(13:26):
mean sweep and when they don't I don't sweep, so
give me two weeks that how logs would it take
me if you give me a dog? That that that
that I could run the best in show, that I
could run.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Them around the thing where they were.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
They get to look at them and then do the
couple of quick tricks, you know, pause up, whatever it
is when when the woman or the judge comes around
and look like, I think I could do that's your cardio.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Look at these, I think you're.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Cold.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
You can't get caught up in the leash.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Shot the dog, my dog every day, but you're gonna
be smiling like a jackass for the cameras at me.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I mean, think about what outfit would you pay.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Here's Benny and his handler, who's wearing a Curtis Martin
New York Jets jersey over black sweatpants with paint stains,
moving around pretty well. And boy, look at Benny. He's
just so happy.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
He looks like a combination of the Joker and Payton Stewart.
We're not quite sure what he's going for. And the
look here, he's got a little bran and it's all plaid.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
All I gotta do is just run him around and
then when the judge comes over, I just show the
teeth or the paws whatever I mean. I think like
in a week, I could do that. The dog would
have to get used to me for a week. Obviously
I couldn't do it cold because who was it. But
then they would see that I'd be the dog. Hey,
I'll give you a treat no matter what. Like I'm
that one, I'm the weak one in the house whenever,
whenever food is there, Benny comes right to me, going,
I'm just gonna sit here and look at you for
Lauren Lee, and You're gonna give me a treat. And
(14:47):
I'm going, yeah, I showed you the picture of my
dog earlier. It's like, hey, he've been fed this afternoon.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
He's looking he's really selling that he's hungry right now.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Don't let him convince you that he hasn't. I already
at bad food. But I think I could do that.
I think he can give me a week.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And I could be one of the Here here is
Jason Smith and the Besting Show with his two year
old dog, Benny, who is a multipoo blend.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I think this has got to be your next next triumph.
I'll right, we've been handling the broadcasting world. Clearly, we
got the rams of Super Bowl, the Lakers, Lucas showed.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Up now feuding with JJ Reddick to the point where
potentially I convinced the Lakers to make that big, bold
move for Lucas and now, okay.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Big bigods. Right behind the scenes, he might have been.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Grousing about stuff we were saying, find finding the elements
of truth in it, this is on the radio and
some and then Rob Polinka overhears and because you know what,
we really should make a move. And it really was
him muttering under his breath and mumbling about his hatred
of view. Yeah, that really helped precipitate this because of us.
If I get you, Luca, Yeah, okay, we'll make that
(15:50):
trade for stop.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
You know, your brooding and cursing in the.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Hallways is not good for morale, really not helping us
at all. So yeah, so you got that, You got that,
and now you can go conquer the next I mean radio.
We're doing well, okay, right, we still need to keep
impressing the polsters for future rankings and stuff. But thank
you for those that acknowledge us. But we also look
at it. This is a new place for you to conquer.
(16:14):
You get whether it's Benny or you need to bring
in another another dog alongside Benny. You only you can
decide how pretty uh and how much Benny can voting electric.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
As long as nothing no, no, Benny would be great
and he's adorable, as long as it's not done near
a road, because if something distract him he would run
into the street. So I mean he can't be as
long as he's inside where there's he doesn't see a
squirrel or another dog, or a bird or a gopher
or something.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
This is where JJ Reddick would show up, and he'd
randomly let a squirrel loose right as Benny was getting
ready to take his turn.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Who did it?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Reddick?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
We're good inside? Oh this year the west bench dogg
what's it gonna be? It's gonna be on the sidewalk. Yeah,
Benny's out, can't do it.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
No.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
We found out that JJ Reddick is a I un
available to coach the the Lakers for an undisclosed reason tonight.
And there he is in the third row staring at
you exit out by a fresca exit swollen dome. Congratulations,
money and not the money and the money.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
For Major League. He's a real Monty. This is Monty.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Have we ever checked in on money from Major League?
How he's doing fly ball?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Caught Hey, he's not the best color man in the business.
For nothing.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Everybody for congratulations money, party like a dog rock Star. Tonight,
I'll tell you what coming up next, we get into
the biggest, silliest NFL controversy between a Super Bowl quarterback
and his potential Hall of Fame teammate.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
That's next, Jason to Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
The next ten Jason Smith won nine eight. I look
up for it.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I just want to make sure because I'm not gonna
respond to Jason.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I understand it.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I got you, Luca, Come on, man, I got the Lakers. Luca, Now,
I understand didn't back you at all.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
No, we got to talk to Wake tomorrow and find
out why I didn't back now good point.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I know he should have backed me up on it.
It's anything got scared.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Of JJ Reddick in the moment, Who's no I know,
I just didn't know I was feuding with JJ.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Now I know what you know. Now I know, I
know beef. Now I got beef. Now we have beefef beef.
Now now we're beefing.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Lot from the
tire rack dot Com studios. Uh, twitter at, how about
a fresco not at? Jason Smith won four six and
we couldn't even.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Get that as it was too long. Yeah, it was
one digit too long.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
So I actually have registered the account without the O
in your name. Oh okay, so it's all red Jason.
So is my older daughter. As I was driving home,
she she came up with that, going, I mean, it's
not completely right because I don't think you can also
get the uh you know, the the demarcation of the
long a right where we can get the line like
(19:10):
you would with an umlat if you were actually typing something. No,
you can't do that.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yeah, because that's one letter. But that's great.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
That'd be a great burner account where I could just
say all kinds of.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Crazy, you know, So it cut off one of the
numbers in its initial formation, that would be where that
would be the account where I would get on it,
and I would just every day I would ask JJ
Reddick a question on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I would at JJ Redick with a question about the Lakers.
Jj Reddick still the Lakers coach. Why do you hate
Jason Smith? Why do you hate Jason Smith? Why do
you wante Jason Smith? Why do you hate Jason You
better ask Wiky why didn't have your back? I got it? Well,
get him on tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
We would have had him on tonight, but he's flying
back from or he's flying to Utah covering the lake. Yeah, tomorrow,
so we're hopeful to get him tomorrow night on the show.
Hopefully we can get him to ask a question going, Hey,
what what's Jason I mean, outside of criticizing him as
Laker's head coach, which I've done a lot up until
the Luca trade, I mean, I don't know why, but why.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Does Jason Smith fuel you? So I want approve that
guy wrong?
Speaker 4 (20:06):
This long distance dedication, I mean question comes from Mike,
who sits alongside Jason Smith at the box Sport Radius.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I'll tell you what we'd like to know. Why do
you hate Jason?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
So all my friends who reached out to me today
and I said, is this real? Does this happen? I go,
I think it's real. I don't know, I mean I
think so. And then more time went on, I'm like, yeah,
I think it's real. And my one friend from Arizona
said to me, what's the deal with them? A couple
people said me, what's the deal with the numbers? And
he didn't understand that the numbers is just when you
say that, it's some way to say, hey, you're just
(20:37):
a random person on Twitter when you're you know, Jim
one two six x three, because what they do when
they assign people when you sign up for Twitter. Yeah,
and so he says to me, what's the deal with
the numbers? And he said, is that like a message
out there to get you swatted?
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Well, I'm gonna give you the opportunity. I mean, you
could steal the old Terry Hatcher line from Seinfeld. I'm
Jason Smith, I'm real, Yeah, I'm big tag facular. Is
that a code to get you swatted? I don't Well,
I figure if it was, he'd easy to find that
I was calling out to some He gave out sub
subgroup of Lakers fans that have now been.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Activated one six four two. Yes, yes, going little swat
Jason Smith.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Now, yes, Jason, if you really listen closely to it,
He does say your name and then pauses like he
was really talking you, then added numbers. You want to
hear it again, Yeah, let's hear it again Smith. He
literally pauses, Yeah he knows you. Yeah, no, Oh, that's
like good. Charles Woodson shook your hand, and he just
kept saying, why do I know you?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
The number I know you?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
You know the number of people do I don't like
me that never met me? It's really weird, like even
you meet me.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I'm a nice guy.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Sometimes if you meet me and hate me after that,
I get it. But at least, I mean, some folks
have met you and stolen a beer right off off
the table, and at least you have met me. You
can said I met that guy once and he was
a jerk and I didn't like him at all. You know,
I'll wear it if you don't like whatever and what
I am. But in this particular case, I mean, you've
got a long history, like Curtis Martin was scared of you.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Well, I just shook Curtis Martin. You wouldn't let his
hand time. It was just a thought.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
You were also gonna you were gonna take the hat
that he had because it was a nice hat. That
was a nice that was but you had that. And
then the Charles Woodson, he's got the ass got on
the whole nine yard shying thing of wine on his
intercept wine and all of that, and and the entire
time he's shaking your hand, he wouldn't let go like
he did the inverse Curtis mart But the whole time
(22:36):
he's staring you down, trying to figure out whether.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
He hates you, likes you, or why he knows you.
I thought that was weird.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I'm shaking his head and this is the Super Bowl
a few years ago, and I thought he was gonna
do one of those karate where I shake hands like
a flip you.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Or eventually you were gonna get the giant glass to
the side like the glazier's uh glazer.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
And then we were talking aboutel and a bunch of boat.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah that was fun. It's good time. But all of
that to say, like you seem to you really spark something.
Oral Hirschheiser, Charles Woodson and now JJ Reddick.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Yeah, I mean the Oral Hirscheiser for those that don't
know the bad story, let's do it here talking about
starting pitching and the changing of how you don't really
need to spend huge amounts of money on starting pitching.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
You need extra pictures, Yeah, but finding money on a
big starting pitcher is a bad investment. Oh, by the way,
how ahead of the curve was on that, especially when.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
We talked about it long term, right when we're talking
about these long six to eight ten year deals whatever,
and where they'd come home to ruse Well waiting on
the hotline to come in to join that conversation with
Oral Hrscheizer.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Who did not take kindly to it, and I will
my understanding still hasn't. Yeah, I'm welcome to the show.
I said, Hey, orl, how are you doing? He goes,
why are you talking to me for I'm irrelevant?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
You don't need me.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I'm like, well, well, no, no, why are you talking
to me? You don't need me? I'm I'm I'm I'm overrated.
I was like, oh, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
And then the best part of it, the best part
of it was I was doing the show with Bill
Plashke here in and we had that that was the
whole thing, Like we talked about the starting pitching and
orl Herscheidz are km on.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
He didn't like the.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Fact that orl Hirscheidt, who was a great starting pitcher.
I just said, hey, nowadays, you know he's a changing game.
A bad investment is starting pitching. So he did the
interview with us. Everything was fine. He hung up, and
I looked at Bill Plashky and I said, hey, I said, wow,
he was I said.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
ORL isn't like me, does? He goes, no, no, man,
are you kidding? Orl loves that doll. He's fine, he's fine,
he's fine trying. ORL is a great guy?
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Man?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
No, no, because I loved the Bill's a great dude.
He's going no, no, man, no, orl loves you great guy,
great guy. Look, I'll text him.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
It's fine. It's fine, it's fine. I said, no, you
don't have to, it's not.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I'll text him. I'll text him, okay, great, And so
we're through. You know where we're were, And I asked him,
he did oral text you back? And he goes, no,
not yet, But I'm telling you, man, it's fine, it's fine,
it's fine.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
He didn't. Wait, everything is oh wait, wait, here. He
is here.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
He text me, hang on, what does he say? You know,
it's fine, It's fine, it's fine, it's fine. I told
you it's fine. I'm like, oh, okay, I don't think
that text was fine. I don't think what about JJ Reddick?
What did he have to say about it?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
A Smith six eight four nine eight looking up for you.
I just want to make sure because I'm not going
to respond to Jason.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
I understand. I understand. Thanks Dan, Wake Jason.
Speaker 10 (25:10):
Do you think maybe you found out you did like
one of those Super Bowl shows shirtless?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
You think maybe you heard about that? Whispers? It's like
a legend. Now, sure you were shirtless at the super Bowl?
Speaker 10 (25:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, well yeah I didn't know what
I'm saying. I was, Oh yeah, yeah, I forgot about that.
Maybe he doesn't, Well why would he be mad about me?
He's a big supporter of Radio Row. Who knows or shirts?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
You took your shirt? Is that what you kept me
from Radio Row?
Speaker 9 (25:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
No, I did always remember that. That was Yeah, that
was the the LA super Bowl years ago. Yeah, I
took your shirtless? Why did I take my shirt? He
just thought, Yeah, you were literally on air with Rmy
You're like, there, my shirt's off, and then you can
take my shirt off here on radio. I'll be the
first guy on radio.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Oh yeah, yeah, I said I could be the first
guy on radio row shuretless with my shirt off.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
So I took my shirt off and we were there
that one night, and all of a sudden, the kids
were running through and they're trying to take stuff, and
we're yelling at them.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Hey, that's why I took my shirt off. Did a
whole sec with no shirt on. Yeah. Really one of
the stranger moments of my long yeah a little bit radio. Yeah,
but why not? Right when I did that, I look
forward to going to those events again, I don't.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I don't think that's why JJ reddick you sure, yeah,
because I looked at some of my tweets and some
of the funny tweets I wrote, when well, could you
give us an example of a funny one?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Sure? You know you're a funny comedians? What am I
a clown?
Speaker 4 (26:34):
I mean side, But I mean, look, if it's the
old rule of thumb of radio, right, if I'm entertained
and we're all kind of in the same kind of
vibe in the room, then it's going to translate to
everybody else. You may not love the joke, you may
not be full and guffaw or wet yourself all those
kind of things, but you're probably gonna appreciate, you know,
(26:55):
the the genesis, the origin story of that joke, and
the storytelling.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
In this case, it would appear JJ Reddick did not
uh no, no, So so let me tell you some
things that were some things. Okay, that just one.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
JJ Reddick being the guy to say, Bronnie James has
earned his playing time as both ballsy and hilarious.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
That is pretty Yes, that's good. Though, that's good. I
think it's a Magic Johnson tweet.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Two.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
It would be funny if it was. If Magic retweeted that.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
The reality is JJ Redick isn't going to be great,
and he isn't going to be terrible. Barring big personnel moves,
the Lakers will sort of be the same next season
as they were this year.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Was I wrong?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Was I wrong? I'm wrong? Was I wrong? I mean
it's not really a hot takery. I mean I'm not.
I mean, you didn't call for him to retire or anything. Yeah,
but I mean, look, it is what it is. I mean,
that's not bad though, right, I like this one too good?
Uh you know, prescient, you know, kind of thinking out
loud of where they were. Yeah, yeah, but he here
(28:00):
we go.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
It's to the point for the Lakers where it's just
a matter of time before they hire JJ Reddick as
their head coach. Yes, it's a risk, but it'd be
a new energy with the team and who else you
can hearing with them? Maybe another couple of weeks it'll
be official.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
See there's positivity. A couple weeks later they hire JJ Redick.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
I mean that's almost genuflecting at the altar of JJ
Reddick right there.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I mean, what's he got to be mad about? Okay?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Why do I think JJ Reddick is going to get
to the point where with the Lakers, like Roger Dorn
in Major League two would to fix things, he'll activate
himself to the roster.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Well, they still need a shooter, I mean, don't connect
didn't get off the bench yesterday. I'mn blow out against
the Jazz. But he comes back after the failed trade.
I think they still need a marksman.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
J may not be done yet.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
JJ Redick, who's never coached a game and could use
the reps, won't coach the Lakers summer League team, and
you wonder why the Lakers don't win that.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Hey, there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
You were just saying, hey, it's time to go to work, right,
I mean, look, we talk about it all the time, right,
and pull that curtain back, do your job.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
But look, but the whole thing I said in the beginning,
like if Reddick gets the Laker, like I needed two
things to happen. You got leave to get Wisconsin Tournament
and Reddick getting the Lakers into a top seat, and
suddenly I could like be the head coach of the Jets.
If you go from the broadcast booth, you see these
guys say, hey, man, all right, let's go because manager
of the Mets isn't gonna happen because Carlos Mendoz is
(29:21):
doing a hell of a job.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
But head coach of the.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Jets, yeah, okay, all right, yeah, but you know what
by junior calling for Mendoz's job, I mean, look, it's
it's science.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Also, the Gottli thing isn't looking so good.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, well you might go one for two, but maybe
maybe they're a great back half of the of the
year team and they go on a run in the
Horizon Tournament.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Okay, I mean that could happen.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
What's in the bag for Shark or something?
Speaker 3 (29:56):
After today? Mike Carmon, I got an idea? You got
an idea? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (30:00):
How to torment JJ reddick further with the help of
Ryan Berschinger and Alex Ticher. Thanks, though, it's continuing to
work on that. Okay, good about that ass whoa whoa
no no, no. JJ might be down, but uh, there's quickly.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
There is a.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Big controversy going on in the NFL surrounding Cam Newton,
former wide receiver Steve Smith and how each of them
feels about their time with the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Steve Smith very upset.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Had some comments that Cam Newton made on Travis Hunter's
podcast earlier this week, in which he said when he
got to the Panthers in twenty eleven, they were a
bunch of losers. Here's a little bit of Cam Newton
from the podcast.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
When I was the first pick. I went into a
locker room of losers. How did you end the the
pressure of being the top pick. Let's put it in perspective.
You're the top pick because what no, no, no, no.
You're looking at it from a personal situation. I'm talking
about from the professional situation. You're the top pick because
that was the worst team in a failed the year before.
For me, I wanted to be the number one pick.
(31:03):
You could potentially be the first pick, but bro, you
have no way of impacting the game like a quarterback does.
You can lock down the number one receiver, you can
make impact players on offense all you won't, but it's
still not like a quarterback. My issue is when I
was the first pick, I went into a locker room
of losers. Guys didn't know how to win, Guys didn't know.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
How to prepare. It was a culture shock for me.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
The games don't mean a lot to a lot of
people in the league like you would expect.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
It's just money.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Not everybody has capabilities to be impact players. They're just players.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Okay, so the first part when I came into a
locker room of losers, and basically everything he did he
did all by himself, not the offensive line block and form,
not the guy's catching passes. No, no, no, I did
everything myself. Again, what a great teammate Cam Newton must
have been. But then I kind of noticed a little
bit where he tells Travis Hunter, you could be the
number one pick in the draft, but you're not gonna
(31:52):
affect the game like a quarterback, not at all. Hey,
you can be the number one pick, Trapp, but you're
not going to be me. Again, what a special teammate
Cam Newton must have been. He already called Travis under
a ja.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, and just like and Steve.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Smith fired back on social media really upset with Cam
and you know, tried to walk away a little bit
at the end and say, you know, God bless you,
good luck with your life. I'm you know, I'm not
gonna get involved, but I can't believe you would do that.
Fifty three minus one star, fifty two losers. Right, So
now these guys who who had there back and forth
with getting along and not getting along, and this has
been a pretty big headline today.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Again, the amazing teammate Cam Newton must have been Steve
Smith fourteen hundred yards that year.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
However, I'll tell you what if I was building, if
I had a sports network, or I was looking to
launch the next great sports NFL sports debate show on during.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
The day, right to compete with everything going on right now.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
The first two guys I would hire would be Cam
Newton and Ben roethlis Oh yeah, Cam, I would both
because love them or hate them, and there's people that
love them and hey, yeah, whatever they say makes news.
Makes you think sometimes that they say is really smart.
I've seen Cam and Ben Roethlisberger say stuff and I go, wow,
that's really great insight. I've also seen Cam Newton here
say stuff like, dude, what are you insane saying that?
(33:13):
Really you think you've done everything by yourself. But whatever
they say when they talk, they make headlines. Now Roethlisberger
does it mainly with the Steelers because it's a Steelers
base podcast that he does, but anytime they speak, they
make news. And just think about a debate type show
with these two guys that clearly have a lot of
IDGAF in them. They're not people you have to worry
(33:35):
about going to the middle and taking it easy because
al well, this guy texted me, this player texted me,
and I don't know if I want to say that,
they would both let it fly. They both have the
cachet you're talking about. Roethlisberger is going to be a
Hall of Famer. Cam Newton's an MVP, went to the
super Bowl. It's a huge personality and an entertainer. Whatever
(33:55):
they say, people are going to pay attention to. And
just like the days when you would see you see
Stephen A. Smith and Skip trending and all the names
because something you know, crazy was said, Hey guess what
these guys would be there and it would be more
cachet because of the NFL players they were. You put
them on a show together and everybody would want to
see what they'd have to say. And again, it would
could be anything. It's like thirty one flavors, like like
(34:18):
like going into basket robins, like, hey, maybe they'll tell
me a funny story. Yeah, maybe they're gonna say something
really outlandish. Maybe they're gonna give me great insight being
a quarterback. But they're gonna give you something because they
have that great bit of IDGAF. They don't have any
real I need to be beholding to the NFL or
players that player. As you can see Cam Newton is
all about himself. The stories he would tell Roethlisberger, it
(34:40):
would be an insanely great show and it would all
of a sudden they would go wow, Jason Smith is
a programming genius. He came up with this idea right away,
and now it's working now.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I do appreciate Cam Newton doubling down on well, it's
all about me, right, because we had the would you
take the MVP and keep that or get the Super
Bowl ring and very clearly h yeah. He did not equivocate.
He just went out, no, I'm staying right where I'm
at because I'm great. The other guys can stink, but
I'm great, which is what he kind of said here,
(35:08):
even though he had Williams and Stewart and Olson and
Steve Smith, all of those guys ready to go all
of that to say, oh, and you know, pretty good
defensive players on the other side, one guy that might
be a Hall of Famer here at some point here,
But all of that, for Cam, yeah, I'm in. You
could just like spin the wheel and come up with
topics for him. He's going to say whatever he wants.
(35:32):
He's got no cares in the world for Roethlisberger, same thing,
very secure in himself. He's been through the fire. Some
would argue not necessarily enough for past, but he is
where he is now and same thing, very honest and
most of it the AFC North. But I think we
could expand pretty quick. I want to his former teammate.
(35:52):
Let's bring James Harrison into them, because he looks like
he wants to get after it and he takes personal offense.
Should you get after a defense. It's a player with
the wrong verbiage.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
He was just looking and say I want to be
on the show. I would say, yes, sir, you start tomorrow.
That's not a problem.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Oh boy, no, I like this. I I would back this.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Camon Roethlisberger. Man's got to bring his own wardrobe. Oh
you don't have budget for that. You got do something
different and great every days. Say there you go, extra
feathers exit out out a Fresco exit swollen dome for Mike,
