Thirty year old Alex Tye Shirt who He and I
talk about movies all the time, give each other movie recommendations.
I give him stuff like, dude, you really haven't seen
(01:12):
Crash and he says, dude, you got to see up
or down or so below. It's about the catacombs in France,
and we have a pretty good relationship with that. Tonight
before the show, he says to be Hey, I got
a question for you. Yeah, I'm twenty five minutes in.
Is The Shawshank Redemption a good movie? Because I'll tell
you what I don't think. I don't think he killed
(01:33):
his wife. And I said, this is a real question.
You have never seen Shawshank.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Redemption before, never saw it.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
So every hour we've been checking in with you because
I giving you time to go watch like twenty five
minute increments of the movie. Forget about the fact supposed
to be working. This is for the show. Everything is fine.
So now we've been able to, like people been able
to experience Shawshank for the first time again through you.
Like you always hear people say I wish I could
go back and watch that for the first time. That
(02:01):
would be so awesome to go see that for the
first time again. So we've been able to live that
again through you. Now, the last update you had for
us you just saw when Andy got out. What do
you think now you've seen the whole movie for the first.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Time, Jason and Mike Man play some music.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Yeah, yeah, no, sure, however, you need to express yourself.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Thank you, Mike. At least I know one if he
likes me.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Okay, what does that mean?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Well, Jason, it's my time. Jason.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
I asked you a very honest question as a man
to a man, and I said, Jason, is this movie
good because you pride yourself on three things?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Right?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Food, yeah, movies yes.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
And awful sports takes just sports tanks.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Okay, okay, sorry, the last one was wrong.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
All I'm saying is who, dude, this is rough what
happened to movies after the nineties, Because this movie not
only okay, enough music, This movie not only single hand
reinvigored my experience in the cinematic and cinematography feature we
had from a simplistic, non CGI perspective, the captivation of
(03:09):
not only a character who is falsely put into prison
and has to serve twenty years not too twenty years
behind bars for something he knew he didn't do, and
then seeing the outpour of everything that happened to him.
And by the way, Jason, the Sisters is a very
far fetched name for that group eight Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yes, Okay, I'll agree with you that I have a couple.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Other names i'd use, but not arable. Okay, I do like.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
The fact that that's what he's hung up on. The
name exists.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
He was upset the very beginning because we said, listen,
don't think Bogs is gonna end up being a good guy.
He's like, what Bogs is? Fine? No, you're gonna watch
Bogs is not a good guy.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Hey, he's not the same guy that just liked riding horses,
eating chicken and slapping doubles to the gap. No, no, no, different.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Type of Bogs.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Kischer, Careful when you say sisters there, Jason's going to
think you're talking about nuns because he's never seen it.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Remember, that's right, Jason doesn't watch good movies. You're right, correct,
you're right, You're right. So now, first, when you said
about Bogs, you said, just wait on him, right, Jason,
How am I supposed to know when he's the first
person to approach him and says, hey, you want to
be friends.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
That's a nice thing to do in prison. Everybody needs friends.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, but I don't know if they Well.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I didn't take it that way, Mike, but now I
know why.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I don't know that that's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
You'd have to watch the movie.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I've seen a lot of TV shows, and generally when
they talk about you know, I see that, Okay, there's
got to be alliances and you have to catch you
with one group against another group. But yeah, that's the
whole thing.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Well, I thought that was what was happening. I thought
he was like, we could use another sister, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I don't. I don't know, I thought.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
But to see what he had to endure from people
that back stabbed him, is that a good way?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
It's afraid you okay.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
The whole depiction of this movie is incredible because this
man never lost sense of hope and how powerful hope
can truly be. And the thing that single handedly kept
me invested was the fact that when it's hard to
talk about the young man who just got shot at
cold Blood I'm sorry for spoiler alerts, Tommy literally was
(05:18):
going to be the saving grace and reinvigored him to
thinking he could have a life again. After he accepted
he'd probably in prison for the rest of his life,
and he finally saw that happen, he was thrown into
a hole for months not the sisters one. But the
thing that's crazy about all of it towards the end Jason,
is that when he finally got free with his little
hatchet and spent twenty years digging through the wall and
(05:40):
got himself out and escaped. It was the way it
played out. It was how he actually transformed himself to
get the warden back for everything he was doing and
everything he did to everybody in there. It was the
fact Red the man who gave up on hope, just
like the old man who oh god, the librarian who
just couldn't do life outside because he didn't tuilize just Jason's.
(06:03):
The entirety of this movie was easy to follow, flowed great,
a rollercoaster of emotions, and the best part about it
is it's that storybook Hollywood ending where you see him
on the boat in Mexico. Red's walking up, they embrace it,
zooms out, and it's like movie, Oh gosh, dude, what
a ride?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
What a ride?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
So was I right when I told you one of
the best movies the last thirty five years.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
The best. God, I have such recency biased right now?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
What was it? One of the best two or three
movies of the last thirty five.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I can give you that.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
Yes, okay, I told you if you haven't seen it,
how would you know that?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
What do you mean why you keep saying if I
haven't seen it, it's a great movie. Yeah, I watched.
I watched great movies. I watch bad movies. How do
you think I know that the last half of every
Christopher Nolan movie is bad because I watched the whole thing.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Oh are you fast forward?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
All right? I've done with this. I've done no. Now
I'm at the point where if I like I you know,
cause I read a lot, right, So I read a book.
I always My mom used to always say every book
you want to read, give it one hundred pages. And
I'm like, okay, one hundred paid. I used to do that.
Now I'm like, you know what, life, I can't do it.
I amp that up. If now I'm at like, if
I don't like it within the first thirty to fifty
(07:22):
pages I read something new.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
I put it down.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I say, nope, can't read it. I'd do something else.
With movies, I get to the point where I go, Okay,
if I'm on my iPad and I'm not, I've not
paid attention for the last couple of minutes. I know
I'm bored, and I don't watch it. We did that
with for All Mankind, which All My good is five,
So okay, we're trying to pick up a new show. Oh,
we watched for All Men kind of like I am
bored to tear Oh my goodness, is this bored? And
(07:46):
today we were watching and I realized I've been on
my iPad for ten minutes. I'm not paying attention. I
turned to Pam. I said, are you bored. I'm bored.
She goes, yes, she's on a ripad too. Great boom
went to a new show like that's how it goes. Now,
if I'm bored by it, I will go to no
chance sound through this. But Christopher Nolan movies, I'll watch
and then okay, I won't understand. They get crazy in
the middle to the end, and he makes up whatever
(08:07):
he wants to do this. I don't think there's a script.
But okay, that's how it goes. I still watched all
those movies all the way to the end.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
I mean I dig that you in the middle of
that caught yourself saying if I don't under I mean,
if it gets too long and kind of twisted. So
that's how it goes, man, That's how it goes. A
lot of stuff that falls apart in act three. And
I feel bad, right because I look not like I'm
s sitting here writing the Great American novel right now,
(08:35):
or I haven't produced a bunch of shows for the
stage or screen. But yeah, a lot of times I'm
watching a movie and I kind of end up doing
the same thing you do. I look up, it's like, yeah,
it's been twenty minutes since I've actually watched it. Because
you haven't gripped me to act three. I'm done, so
on to the next. And that's the beauty of having
(08:57):
your daughters who have such eclectic taste that you have
all the streamers. You have, all of the streamers means
there's a lot of things to go and bounce to.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Jason, Can I say something? Yeah, I got to kind
of like cap up all this, because again, you're just
here to poop on Christopher Nolan, which I will.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Not stand by.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I I okay, go ahead, you do you do?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
You know, you do? Okay.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
The thing that I've noticed about this movie and the
movies that you basically praise as some as the best
are very they're very fluid and easy to follow. But
as soon as it's like misconforted with science or the
concept of reality or history or whatever it is, I
could see where you kind of get conforted and say
like there's too much going on that it doesn't make sense.
(09:38):
But the concept of what I realized with Christopher Nolan
that's very different from these and why I appreciate him
is it brings a level of actually endearment from a
psychological standpoint, to really digest what he's saying within layers
of the same scene. That to me is brilliant because then,
as you said, you go back and watch the movie
three four times and you see more things. I appreciate
(09:58):
that because this type of movie I don't have to
watch again. I watched it, I enjoyed it. It's gonna
stay with me for the rest of my life. I'll
recommend it, but I don't need to go watch it again.
Christopher Nolan movies especially like Inception or any of these, dude,
like even Dunkirk, which I need to watch. Someone watched it.
I heard, it's great. Those movies do something different and
in today's society that they.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Use you, so you said, I got to go back
and watch it again because there's conversations that don't make
any sense that take place in the movie.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
Yeah, the scarecrow says the same thing.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
You make it seem like I just watch I just
watched movies like Curious George visits Top Gun, Like.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Now, that's extreme. I didn't say that.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
I just said, if it has a layered to facts,
you do a good career, is George though?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
For big Honest?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I'm just what were you doing in there?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Mike? Do you get my point? In all? Am I
just crazy?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I understand what you're trying to say.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Okay, is I don't know what the word can thorpe means.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, that's a made up word.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
But hey, let's put it into the lexicon of things.
We've got people on Twitter now, Corey leading the charge saying, Hey,
we need to make Friday Flicks with Ty Shirt a
thing where we take a classic that he's never seen
and we watched The Education of a young Man.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
That Mike sign up the Portrait of the artist as
young men. Tonight we'll watch all the greatest movies that
Alex Tischer has never seen before.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
He says, Citizen Kane, This one day challenge you only
had a brain that it'll challenge the Tower of Terror
and take over as the pre eminent ty shirt conversation
and segment of note Jason.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I'm just saying that was good, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
See, so there you got one for one tonight. I
am with you, right yeah, And now you understand you
either have to get.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Busy living or get busy god line, dude.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
That's why you watch the movie over and over so
you remember.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Those and that happened. I don't even watch it again.
I mean I listened through you.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
But the thing is right, dude, Mike, when they he
asks for the rope and then he doesn't come out
at like check up in the rising, like oh my god, dude,
come on.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Dear Fraan, I'll fump your skull get out of here.
Oh yeah, there it is. Well, I am glad that
you like the movie and now we all got to
see it through your eyes for your first time.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon live for the tire rack dot Com Studios. Yes,
I don't wear. In our Best of podcasts. You can
get Alex Tischer's review of The Shawshank Redemption watch for
the first time tonight at work. I'm so proud. Just
don't click on it, Jason, why not click on it? Frost?
Speaker 7 (15:17):
Anybody else? Besides you can't?
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Why why can't I walk on it to spoil the
movie for you?
Speaker 6 (15:23):
Don't click on it, Jason will talk. If you want
me to watch a movie and review it for you,
ask any time.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Okay, say there you go. Let's see maybe Wizard of Oz.
I've seen Star Star Wars a New Hope. Okay, come on,
have you seen Star You've seen Star Wars?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Okay, how about Gone with the Wind.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I haven't seen that?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Okay, all right, that'll be on the Let's Godfather.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I haven't seen that Godfather too. I haven't seen any godfathers.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Okay, all right, good, you can skip Godfather three. Don't
worry about it. Okay, how dare you sure you can
skip Godfather?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
You have to complete the trilogy Godfather three?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
If I had to show does how would you know
you can skip it?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
You can? You can stop. You can stop the Rocky
movies and pick them up later on. Yes, one, two, three, four,
skip five, skip to jump to Rocky Belt Bow, then
go to Creed. Yeah, you can skip. You can skip along.
It's like the Fast and Furious movies. Watch one, skip two,
just watch the very end, get to three, get to fight.
Oh that's how it goes.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Maybe eventually I'll watch one of those.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Uh you know what, If you do, I will then
give you the order you need to watch them in,
because if it goes like one, two, six, then the
end of two, then three, four, five, like, it's a
weird order. If you want to watch it chronologically, it's
like one two, you jump to six, and you go
back to the then you watch like two or is
(16:46):
it no? You watch three till the last five minutes,
then you jump and watch six, and then you come
back and watch the last five minutes of three, then
you watch four five like that's the right order for
fast and furious movies.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Okay, I have to take that under advisement if I
ever go down that rabbit hole. Although he's old, part
of it is probably gonna keep me away from that.
Other than eiler room and saying I am groot. He
doesn't do much for me as a master thespian, But
there you go.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Okay, well, hey, then then you're gonna love two and
three because he is hardly in any of them. So
you're good.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
There you go. And then the rock comes in later on,
Dwayne Johnson comes inside. Yeah, you can tell they don't
like each other. Oh, it's it's awesome now. Uh, you
want to know what athlete had the best day today?
Nobody had a better day than and and you fraid
did have a good day. Finally got ours twenty finally
got his way out right. Maybe a little bit bigger
(17:45):
rock camer he could have got out of maybe fifteen,
but okay, yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
He might have been found out and we would have
had a much different movie.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I mean, you really think someone couldn't get a bigger
little give me a little bigger rock camera, or I
could put a little bit more in my pocket each day.
I could probably put a little bit more more, a
little bit more, and then maybe maybe a mount and fifteen.
Think about that.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Wow, you're saying he was lazy and derelict in his
duty to get stuff out to I'm saying, if you're
planning more expedited fashion, if.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
You're planning a prison break, you gotta be bold. Man.
You can't. I mean, the longer you go, maybe they
pull that they pulled that poster down, and suddenly you
get found out like, ah, I was that close. I
was so close. Only i'd done it a little bit faster.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I mean, come on, you guys say they would have
never done that.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
How do you know, because he was literally doing everybody's taxes,
well he was, he was, but helping the warden commit
like crimes.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
He was.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
They know he was doing all these things. Yeah, but
that wouldn't stop them from uh from Tallas. They showed
you that. Yeah, in the end, they thought they were
just they were just criminals, you know. I mean, you know.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Another fundamental subplot, though, would have been to uh have
the warden's life at the prison examined a little bit.
How often did he have to talk himself out of
a reassignment or an expansion or whatever else. Obviously there's
money's flowing through, so yeah, you're gonna be a little
reticent to change up what's working, especially if you're a
(19:09):
governmental official. But I gotta imagine there had to be
a little bit of a crap. This could all go
away because they're they're gonna push me into this other prison.
They've gotten bigger, and they they've watched my efficiency here,
damn it.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
And how did they not put on Jets and Mets
games in the hole?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Fair to them?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Well, this was it was in the fifties. It would
have been the Yankees and the Dodgers and the Giants.
It would have been every afternoon and the Red Sox. Yeah,
you'd be getting Red Sox and you'd be getting Ted
Williams games in the fifties.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Wow, not in the hole. You just had the memory
of those I could hear them in my head.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Whatever those ladies were singing. I don't know what any
of them said, Like that's what you'd have in your head.
I would just have in my head Mets lose, Mets lose, Ah,
Mets loose, mets loose. Who had the best day of
any athlete? Not Andy Dufra, The answer is Arch Manning.
Arch Manning today had the big double shot of being
(20:11):
installed as the overwhelming Heisman favorite for this coming year
in college football and signed a deal that had made
him worth now over six and a half million dollars
in an nil valuation, big deal with Red Bull six
point six million dollars. He said he waited to sign
(20:34):
his nil deals because, quote, I wanted to earn my money.
All right. This is a guy that barely played, got
his feet wet a little bit last year, and now
is going to take over a starting quarterback for Texas.
So today was a great day for arch Manning. But
this poor tends to what is going to be an
incredible fall because he is going to usher in the
(20:56):
new golden age of college football. Because as popular as
college football has been, it's very regionalized, right, You know this,
because there's not the number of big cut through superstars
that have wide coast to coast appeal. Even when USC
was winning. Well, okay, Reggie Bush and Matt Lionet, they're
(21:16):
on the West coast. They played late, Were they really
true coast to coast superstars. The last coast to coast
superstar you had that elevated the game was Tim Tebow
and you're going back fifteen years for that. Arch Manning
is the biggest star college football has had in fifteen years,
the closest thing we've had to what we're going to
see with Arch Manning in the fall. Go back to
(21:38):
l not this past September, but the September before where
Colorado burst on the scene with Dion for the first time,
and they were winning throughout the month of September, and
every conversation was about Colorado football. It took conversation away
from the NFL. Colorado was so popular. But what happened.
They started losing games. They lost a couple of games.
(21:59):
What happens when that happen, you fall out of the
conversation because in college football, well you gotta win or
you're not part of it. But Arch Manning is that
cut through superstar, the legacy in the Manning family, the
the interest level to see him play, how how fast
he is, that no one can understand that that he's
as fast as he is, as athletic as he is.
(22:20):
This video of him Windmill dunking on on on college
on college basketball hoops, Like, the interest level in him
is gonna be nothing like we've seen since t BO,
Like we've had star players, but not quite like this.
Every Texas game is going to be nationally televised next year.
We're gonna watch every week. Everybody's gonna watch their team
and Arch Manning. Sometimes the the stars aligned for us
(22:44):
and Manning with the Manning bloodline Texas the interest level,
they're gonna be really good again next year. They'll be
top three at least maybe their preseason number one, because
everybody falls in love with what Arch Manning can wind
up doing. And this is gonna be a goal an
era of college football when you combine Arch Manning with
the new playoff that's still being tweaked a little bit,
(23:06):
but it was a huge success. More teams can get in,
it's more exciting for college football. I think we saw
this year. And when I say I think, I mean
I'm positive we saw this year that, hey, letting twelve
teams in is really fun. That doesn't The race for
twelve is so much more interesting than the race for four,
right because we're talking about six teams for four spots.
(23:28):
Most likely the last month of the season. Whereas we're
talking about twenty teams, could be twenty five teams for
twelve spots. At the end of the year. Every team
goes into the year of Power five, this type conference saying,
if we lose two games, we can go ten and
two and maybe get into the bleeping playoff. Man, Like me, Syracuse,
I got hope for the playoffs. I mean, not next year.
(23:49):
We got the hardest schedule in the country, but like
this year is like if we had just won one
more game, we probably would have been in the playoff,
closing the season beating Miami, probably would have gotten in, right,
But every buddy's got that hope. Now it's a new
bit of energy in college football. The playoff kicked it off,
Arch Manning is gonna keep it going. I mean, we
are getting into the next big golden age and the
(24:10):
popularity of college football. You saw it this year when
the Gate when the when the playoff games were played,
they own the month of December, the weekdays in December
into January. Was it a little long? Yeah, But like
I said, they're tweaking it. But you saw the explosion
of college football with this new playoff and arch Manning
is that coast to coast superstar that's gonna get it done.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Yeah, you missed Johnny football, but the idea.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
That you got this is the guy that showed up
out of nowhere for half of a season. Like we
didn't start paying attention until he beat Alabama. Oh, Johnny
Manziel is pretty good. He had a good half season run.
This is like we got a whole two years of
anticipation of Arch Manning. Boy, you can see how at
the edge of my seat I am. Look, it's it's
gonna be Hey, that's gonna hate. I get it. Your
(24:57):
team stinks. I get it.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Your team played half a season of football and now
you're excited.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Doesn't That doesn't matter. I'm just saying I got it.
Your take the shots where you were.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
You could be all negative on a on an end
of a Friday night. I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Look, I need him to ramp up his energy, so
hopefully he drinks some of the product that he's now
shilling for. Uh because as of now, his delivery is
that of a piece of toast coming out. But it's
it's the opportunity go take some acting lessons with the
uncle and uh, and it'll be better so we can
get an electric Uh interview opportunities going forward. Uh, if
(25:35):
you're gonna have that much on hangout with with Powell
and McConaughey, Uh, when they're stalking you on the sidelines,
and really to be part of Bears.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Bears, Bears Bears, the Bears, Bears, Bears, Bears Bears. You
mentioned McConaughey. I I default that all the time. I'm sorry, buddy,
I couldn't help myself.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
That's all right, h But just the college football is
in a good spot.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
We carred all the way through.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Whether people were hate watching or complaining about it, the
numbers bore out. They stayed attentive, whether it was the
convergence of all these big time programs or just a
love of watching a new cycle and process in play
and hoping that it would fail at a return again
(26:24):
like it or not. Here we have twelve eventually fourteen sixteen.
However big the playoff gets, which means all these big institutions.
Now we're going to see these guys. Now they might
bounce between squads, right, Ohio State wins, But how many
of these guys may may be enticed into the portal
looking at the kind of money that arch Manning just
(26:46):
signed for, sending quinn Eras off off into the distance
and everything else that there's so much money to be had.
Then yeah, we'll have multiple decals. Hell, you had guys
practicing at the All Star Games this week. How many
abodeed logos are on that guy's helmet?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Three?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Oh, okay, there's all his schools represented to grow to
the man he is today.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
So we'll have a lot of that.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
But we'll know the principal characters, which is a big
departure from what we've had in college football. And I
think that's the larger picture, is you know, for arch Manning, yeah,
he becomes the poster boy. But we'll see more guys
that were chronicling their growth like we did once upon
a time, and we did it with Dylan Gabriel, we
did it with yours. Watching him at Texas didn't just
(27:32):
go on down player for player. That maybe we get
back to the emphasis of that as opposed to watching
fifteen snaps and going, I don't know, I don't think
he's a top ten pick. I mean, we actually appreciate
college football for being college football again, yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
But the thing is is that you need somebody to
open the door for that, and Arch Manning is going
to open the door for Dylan Gabriel didn't really move
the needle all season long, Like he was a really
good quarterback, right, was really good. He didn't move the needle.
We didn't have conversations every week about But we're already,
like Arch is already, we already know what he is who.
He's already a star. He's already a star and he
(28:11):
hasn't even played. He's barely played. He plays.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
If my name were Manning, i'd be a star too.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Okay, why you don't think that played? That's exactly what
I said. How many times did I say the bloodlines
with Manning is what helps this thing? Like like you
didn't like you ignored that, But I don't, no, no, no,
But what I'm saying, I don't think it pushes anything further.
We already being a Manning pushed him further. I'm not
saying it.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
I'm saying it doesn't push it to the next to
where it ushers anything in. He's an outlier guy.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
He yeah, he's the one that's gonna He's the one
that people are gonna watch that. We're all gonna be
in that. Everybody's gonna talk about and and bring an
incredible new level of excitement to college football because it's
Arch Manning.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
You're talking about me hating on a Friday night. Oh
I'll disagree and say, hook them horns exit?

game tonight for illness, and he said, yeah, I could
play back to backs physically, I can, but I work
(32:19):
for the Pelicans. Well, oh yeah, I could do it,
but I work for the Pelicans. Hey, they don't want
me to do stuff like that because you know, we're
twelve and thirty seven. What did I work for the Pelicans?
I just thought I just thought that was a great answer, like, hey,
I'd love to play, but hey, Pelicans, the ones telling
me not to play whoa whoa.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Well because shots fired?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Well so well?
Speaker 4 (32:45):
I mean, I guess if I'm a guy that for
what is this twenty twenty five? So I came in
in twenty nineteen, missed a lot of games, wondering how
many of those games are on account of precautionary measures
and decisions taken out of his hands? Right, hey, you
(33:06):
you've been hurt. Here's the hammy? You know what? Given
an extra month, all of those kind of things, Like
where where in the the math is the line between
I'm physically ready to give it another shot and I
want to versus they say no to protect me for
quote unquote for good, even though they've already paid me.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
As long as my checks cash, I'll do whatever the
hell they say. I don't really care, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Though?
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Like that, like that's all all he's saying. He goes, yeah,
I'm good to go. I'm young? What is he twenty five?
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Like?
Speaker 4 (33:37):
But hey, they don't want me to go? I mean,
what do you what do you want me to?
Speaker 1 (33:40):
What am I gonna do? Exit out about a Fresca
Swallen Dome, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon live from the Tirack
dot Com Studios. Coming up next, I'm ready to make
a big, bold prediction for the NFL Draft. I'll tell
you exactly where one of the top quarterbacks is gonna go,
because basically he said it yesterday. That's next, Jason and
Mike Fox Orts Radio.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Fox Fort Radio. The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon
Live Fromthtirack dot Com Studios. And a story that I'm
surprised hasn't gained as much traction as it does. That's okay,
We'll make it big right here because it should be.
I can now pretty certainly tell you where one of
(34:36):
the top quarterbacks is going to go in the NFL Draft.
Last night's East West Shrine Bowl Shador Sanders, who was
not going to play at all, We talk to teams
and do all the stuff that went along with it.
Was at the East West Shrine. But remember we also
have the Senior Bowl going on as well in Dallas,
home of the Cowboys. So he's in at and T
(34:58):
Stadium doing an interview on NFL Network and he's asked, Hey,
what do you think about the stadium here? And he
kind of tells us where he thinks where he's sure
he's going to be playing football very soon.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
Take a listen anywhere except the New York Jets.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
And then when he was pressed for more of an answer,
we said, we kind of understand that nobody wants to
go to the Jets. Come on, Shador, give us something more.
He said, Okay, okay, okay, I got you. Here's another
thing about where I think I'm gonna be playing.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Football, just not the Jets. Man Chador running.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Out of time here, buddy, Look, I gotta I gotta
throw it back upstairs. Gotta throw it back upstairs. He
was asked, and he said, being in the stadium is
definitely fun. I know I'll play here very soon against
the Cowboys. Now, not for the Cowboys. I'll play here
very soon against the Cowboys. Now, let's take a look
(35:56):
and see where the top picks in the draft ball,
shall we? Tennessee AFC South, Eh, Cowboys now Browns. Okay, Well,
they actually played Dallas in two years okay, oh, picking
third of the New York Giants who play in Dallas
every single year, Shadeur Sanders is going to be a Giant, right.
(36:19):
We know that they have talked. They had an interview
with him at the East West Shrine game. You can
already tell that the Giants have the Chadour and Dion
seal of approval that yes, the Giants are are preferred destination.
And let's face it, with the pressure that Chadour and
Dion have already, you know you've already heard, Hey, we
want him to go to a place you want him
(36:40):
to go to. We're not gonna be okay with him
just getting drafted by anybody. Are is a team like
the Titans or the Brown's gonna draft Shadoor Sanders. If
they think that he's gonna pull Eli Manning and say
I'm not gonna go here, you gotta trade me. No,
they will let him go. They will let him go
to the Giants. The Browns will take cam Ward, They'll
be very happy doing it. The Titans they want to
(37:02):
trade out of the pick, or they'll wind up taking
Travis Hunter. Doesn't seem like they're gonna go quarterback there.
But Shador Sanders to the Giants makes all kinds of sense.
It makes sense for Shador Sanders. He gets the spotlight
that he wants. He's with the heritage team, the number
one market in the country, and that's where you want
to go. For the Giants, it makes even more sense
(37:24):
because not only should are they going to take him,
the Giants should take him because he gives them an
identity and the Giants don't have one right now. And
for the longest time, they one of the best identities
in all of the NFL. They were well respected, they
always played great defense, they ran the football. Then it
was Eli Manning was their identity. For a long time.
The Giants always found a way to stay relevant and respected,
(37:45):
just like the Steelers, and relevant like the Cowboys and
the Dolphins. But the Giants have nothing right now. They
drafted Malik Neighbors, who may wind up being a really,
really good player. But your GM has one foot out
the door, your head coach has one foot out the door.
Or who are you? What kind of team are you?
What can you say is your identity? You don't have one.
(38:05):
But Shador Sanders will give you that identity. You will
be quarterback driven you will be superstar quarterback driven and
that's worth a lot. The Giants just don't need a quarterback,
they need an identity, and Shaudor Sanders gives them that.
It makes sense for both their perspectives. It should be
Santa to the Giants at number three and everything else
can we can debate the other ones, but I'll tell
you Santa to the Giants at three. I am certain
(38:27):
that'll happen.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Yeah, I'd love to see the Titans do something of
substance up top and see if they can push forward here,
whether you can force anybody into kind of trades knowing
what the Sanders want, I don't know if you draft him.
He's a distress property, but you still have the deed
(38:48):
and title, so they still gotta come get him. So
you know, you could still maybe hold them over a
bit of a barrel there. But all of that to say,
how much do they really want to play the uh
we We've we've got the reins on this UH card
because Jason I go full Jacksonville Jaguars. I mean, Liam
(39:08):
Cohen's been bounced all over the place, right, yet he
was still able to say, Hey, I ain't showing up.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
Now.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
I think they got to hit a buzzer. I'm like, wow,
what did I do?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
No, the Star the Stars look borrowing from the NBA.
The Stars have a lot of cashet, especially a quarterback,
And when it comes down to it, no team is
gonna get is going to go in and draft somebody
that they don't know is gonna sign there, and they'll
know going in, Like if the Titans wanted a quarterback,
they would talk to Shadora's camp and they would hear, yeah,
he really doesn't want to go there, and if you
(39:42):
draft him, good luck. But but we're not signing. And
then suddenly it's well, we'll draft him, but then we
got to trade him, and then why you're trading him?
You're gonna get more, especially in a year where Shador
Sanders is not the lockdown number one overall pick, because
you are taking a risk, uh, because these aren't quarterbacks
that have the the grades that other quarterbacks. This is
not the quarterback class of a year before. So it's
(40:03):
easier to see team say, Okay, if I don't know
that he wants to come here and I'm not one
hundred percent sold on him, i will let him go
to another team that might need him more, and we'll
take Travis Hunter, we'll take somebody else, or we'll trade
out of the number one pick or the number two
pick and we'll go on from there. But should order
the Giants. Yeah, I think teams will let that happen.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
I think that's what I was trying to extend it
for you, though they have the juice to say, yeah,
we'll come, but Chan's gotta go.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Here's the people we need fired. If we're gonna come here, well,
we're gonna come here.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Look Brian Dable, we saw we kind of liked what
he did a couple of years ago in his pass
with Josh Allen.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
That guy he gotta go. Yeah, but the list is fluid.
Maybe guys will be on it next week, then I
will we'll let you know. For Mike cop Jason coming
up next, bern and Bernie Fratto. This is fuck
