You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Gratings. Welcome inside, Happy
be Star Wars Day, May the fourth be with you
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend. His name
is Greto Hoe. As we take you through can't you can't,
(00:46):
can't escape the hobo dropping no matter what we do,
can't do it right in the beginning. Uh, it is
a big Star Wars Day. We got a big trailer
for Kenoby. James Harden clearly spent most of his day
watching it, not having the energy during tonight's game against
the Miami Heat. As the Sixes are about to go
down O two and I'm already going through a whole
(01:08):
big Doctor strange multiverse things. Mike Carmen trying to figure
out just what excuse Doc Rivers is going to make
after tonight's game. I don't know what he's gonna say,
but it's gonna be something. They were playing six guys.
One of them was invisible. He were in from another dimension.
That's a good one. I like that. Go back and
look at the video. Six guys one to doctor. Guy's
(01:32):
at the scorer's table ready to check in. No, clearly,
Look he's on the floor. He's on the four. Plenty
plock the shot play before right, he did it right,
the six guys. How can we compete? We can't compete
the six guys and we just can't do it. NBA's
gotta do something about that. It's not my fault. No,
that's good. I think that's probably the best excuse that
he can hit that. Mm hmm. I didn't look, or
(01:54):
you just have to admit that you were out coached,
or maybe I and I and I know you've James
Harden's name, like you're walking around like you know, instead
of murder or whatever you would put across the knuckles,
Jake Hell would whatever it might be, it says James
Harden today because of well a lot of James Harden
(02:17):
talked to you and I have been having for quite
some time. The sideshow Love and Hate on the the
best best right out of Cape Fear. Sorry I got
into Cape Fear for a second. No, no, it's good.
It's a fantastic movie. I mean, whether you like the
original or the Robert de Niro or you just want
(02:39):
to do the side show Bob that maybe that maybe
the best episode of the Simpsons ever. I mean that that.
I mean you talk about the pantheon of great Let's
Cape Fear episode maybe the greatest episode in all of
Simpson's dumb So I've always been partial to the one.
Um that's all the short films that they make with
(03:00):
the John Lovite characters. Barnie Gumbelt from me because I'm
already dead, I don't know it's and then it just
as theme, you know, the it's the artie of artists,
artistry kind of films coming from Barney. So yeah, good times. Uh,
not much of an effort by the Sixers, although Maxie
(03:23):
looked really good. So yeah, like hang hang a star
on him. I like when they put the stat up
at the end of the game, Uh, hey starting backcourt,
Uh sixers fifty points you know we heat uh you
know four and you go, okay, yeah, but James Harden
only had sixteen of those points. When they put that's
out of It's like, let's try to find a way
(03:45):
to prop up James Harden. Look the heat beat the
Sixers one nine, one oh three, and James Harden started
out okay. But like I have said, and as other
shows have taken clearly from us, uh, James Harden is
not that guy anymore. Max. He's the guy that's gonna
score thirty five to try to shoot you out of
things and do it. It's not James Harden. Harden was
(04:07):
six out of fifteen from the floor tonight. He took
five threes, he scored twenty points. He was on the
bench at the end. This is just who James Harden is. Right. Now,
here's the thing. I may do something little different tonight, Mike.
I may not have a big James Harden take, because
if I don't, that's gonna screw all the daytime shows
Tomorrow was the daytime shows tomorrow. If I don't have
(04:28):
a big James, we don't have a big James Harden take.
Don't know what to say nothing. You and I are
blessed in that, you know, we're we're kind of at
the the new cycle, right, because games are going on,
we've got announcements, You've got all sorts of stuff going on.
So generally there there's some stuff we leave behind. The
Ryan Tannehill Malik Willis thing. Was there a contest we
(04:49):
were supposed to be in for the dumbest, hottest, nonsensical take.
I mean, I I saw so many things getting retweeted
into my timeline. We're like, have we gotten collectively that
much dumber in the last week or so? The NFL
draft took the last brain cells and now we're done.
I mean, what are we doing? Uh? You know, it's
(05:11):
it's a it's a thing. And you know, some days
I get more mad than others. And look, not not
to say that, you know, we're the greatest radio host
in the world, but your favorite daytime hosts listen to
our show and you see our take show up the
next morning in many places, right, very specific stuff, not
just James Harden isn't very good. James Harden gets tired
(05:34):
at the end of games. This was we told you,
and we've been telling you. We had it. We had
it two nights ago. James Harden is not that guy anymore.
James Harden is not the player you thought he was,
very specific words out of our mouth. James Harden is
not the guy he was. And what happened the next day?
I saw it on two Big time daytime shows and
I saw the font on ESPN. Is James Harden still
(05:58):
the same player? I'm like, you've got to be kidding
me debating when Raymond Green was a Hall of Famer. No,
but I mean, come on, no, no, you are, buddy,
You are a Hall of Famer in my book. I
don't don't get anybody you know what his value is
relative to a bunch of other players, Like yeah, obviously,
(06:20):
like all the stuff's got retweeted into my timeline while
he was walking my dog and he he sensed that
I was getting edged and so all of a sudden
he got chippy with people walking by like this just stupid.
Have to say. I'm I'm sending out a bunch of
captain obvious hats to offices over the next couple of weeks.
(06:41):
Guy with Lesia's mad, I'm going to be mad. I
want him to bet me, I want him to give
me food. I want to treat so coming down the leading,
I'm telling you, all of a sudden he was agro
even though the poor little guy had to have a
bunch of teeth last week. It's terrible. I'm telling the
medication gave him those big sauce like guys when Montgomery
(07:01):
Burns was floating in the X Files episode. They did.
But you know, there are some days when I get okay,
you know what, information stree and I'm fine. And some
days I wake up and I see stuff that specifically
lifted again, specific things that we say that is it's
too much of a coincidence. Not just James Harden, right,
(07:22):
the James Harden stuff, He's not the same guy. Boy,
that's really specific. And to see that telling you your
favorite daytime host. Listen to the show and follow us
on Twitter and take a look and see I actually
saw today. What do we say about John Morant last night? Right?
John Morant's the best player in this series? Right? We
said that John Morant is the best player in this series.
As great as stuff is, John Morant is the best
(07:43):
player in this series. Boom, What do I see on
the blogs today people talking about John Morant is the
best player in this series. I'm done. I'm done. Either
you gotta pay us money or you have to say.
I got this from the Jason Smith Show with Mike
Harmon because tonight's one of those nights I'm a little
salty about it Sunnight Talks, but other than other nights,
I'm like, come on, man, you got come up with
(08:03):
your own stuff. I mean, really, come up with your
own stuff. Someday you guys get paid a lot of
money during the day. Are you get paid a lot
of money to come up with stuff? Man, whether it's
whether it's producers, whether it shows, come up with your
own stuff. I mean, don't take. If you want to
take the take, then take it so it doesn't even
look like you take. But you can't sit here and
take stuff that's almost word for word exactly what we say.
Can't just stop doing it, man, stop doing it my calves.
(08:27):
I'm saying, yes, well they should, they're good calves. Being like,
in the middle of the take, it was about calves.
Now it's just too obvious. I mean maybe if the
Mets hadn't lost today, I wouldn't be as salty, But no,
I'm salty about this. And when I get up and
I see that, I come on, man, I like, really, dude,
come up with something. Come up with your own stuff.
You get paid. You guys get paid money during the day.
(08:48):
Do you do your thing? Man, you do a lot
of things on TV. You get bad big time TV money.
Come up with it or send us a check, either
one or Hey, just say you know what I heard
on the Jason Smith Show with Mike and put our
smiling faces up there is you can see what you
look like. Hey, how you doing? Everybody? Just just say it,
Just say because I'm done, I'm done with with with
with the rest of it. Now tomorrow may feel different. Hey,
(09:09):
look at that, Look at our take showing up here.
But but right now the hardened, the jamran. Yeah, I'm
a little salty about It's why I try to stay
stay contained in my box. So like today, I watched
a lot of Star Wars. There was a Criminal Minds
marathon going on. The kids were home early. I made
a nice and chicken ticken Masla. Can you say that
on the radio? Tie shirt? Can he say that on
(09:30):
the radio? We have to dump that. I don't know
what that was. We have to dump that. What I
do need to do is next time I need to
reserve some of the sauce without the chicken in it.
So you can try it because it's like tast He's
not even paying attention. That stuff sounds amazing, you know
what we're talking about? My favorite his Indian Yeah, well,
what what was the name of the dish? Chicken Tiki Masala?
(09:51):
Is that what you said? Yeah? Really, that's exactly what
you said. Okay, all right, that's fine, that's one, all right. Yeah,
So it's somewhat depending depending on who's Sometimes people say massala,
sometimes it's muscla. You know, it's it's all about the
you know, accent on the syllable, so you know, it's
(10:15):
I I do my best outside of what we hear
in programming of promos and stuff, and you know, for
folks in the greater world, unless I'm made aware of it,
I tend to shut it off. I spend more time
with my dog. You know what it does. It helps
my blood pressure really. But then if something happens to
your dog suddenly you turn into John Wick. You would
(10:35):
completely be a new age John Wick. You would you
would be lost with your jaunty hat. You would have
a jaunty hat filed down to a point where you
could cut people's throats with it. Well, already weapon that way.
Do you see the one I just got. It would
take Anthony one. I don't know which one I'm wearing.
You would take the feather off and just yond people
(10:56):
with it. Well, it's that that's the weapon. Stay away
from the hat. Either I'm whistling or I'm going to
Jack Nicholson in thelass like Batman Truncle Bingo. Time to
pay the check. Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show
with Mike car But if you're a valued customer, you
deserve a simple gesture of appreciation from your credit card company.
(11:18):
And that's why I discovered matches all the cash back
you we're on the end of your first year, discover
exceptionally common sense over dot com slash match limitations they
do apply. So, yeah, Harden, no one should be surprised,
all right, no one should be surprised about James Harden anymore.
But come up with something else. Let me see what
you got tomorrow, let me see daytime. What do you got?
What do you got? If I don't give you a
hot take right now, what are you gonna do? What
(11:39):
are you gonna do? Actually, you know, you know I'll
take it even further. I'll double down on James Harden.
He's a joke bag. He's now hitting that territory he
is now he's become all Beard. I mean that's what
he is now. He's now all be like the Beard
used to be like maybe thirty three percent of who
he was and it was a big accent. Now he's
(12:00):
now he's like Beard and five NBA player, Well that's
even hotter. You know, he was seven for seven from
the line. But listening to the broadcast, that was like imploring,
you know, I think they were gonna be able to
speak the old James Harden back into existence. He's saying
it more efficient tonight, like he couldn't be any less
(12:21):
efficient that he was in Game one, Like Brden, let
me really lower the bar for Harden. But that's exactly
what they did. And I love listening to those guys.
They had a great broadcast, but like the look, he
was great. We all recognize that he was great. And
then by the end when he got to the playoffs,
(12:42):
there was nothing left Why because he didn't take care
of himself and he played many weary minutes, okay, and
then he was a one man gang trying to fight
and he was out of gas. Right now, he's got
no gas. He's got no gas. He can't afford the
five fifty five per gallon at the here in southern California.
He's done. And Maxie did everything he could to try
(13:05):
to will that team back into making it a game.
He and Harris combined for fifty five. But it's not enough,
not enough, because the heat just said, Okay, uh tell Vis,
you talk about you guys got a little more and
we need to pad that lead. All right? How many
times did you hear that? And then Eric Bolstro once again, Hey, guys,
well we'll need a couple more, little more, a little
(13:26):
more here. You think you had a little more in you,
little more? And then Victor Oladipo is walking past guys
like he's a rookie again, right, No injury history, no
nothing's like, Hey, watch me take this guy one on
one and leave him behind me. That's just unfair. I mean,
he got to sit almost the entire regular season and
now he's there going, Oh, let me look at this.
There are two wins away from the East Finals, where
(13:48):
a month ago it was if we can go a
game and Jimmy Butler and Spoilster don't fight on the court,
that's a victory for the Heat. All right, look look
at look at how far they've come in a month. Now,
look at this. I mean, it's great stuff for the Heat.
But Lookin has been on a slow decline for a
long time. Now, okay, you want to just take this
year into account for where he was averaging twenty four
(14:09):
points a game in the early part of December into January.
Then he's about twenty points a game. Then he gets
traded to the Philadelphia seventies sixers. He's around twenty points
a game. Then you get into April, he's down to
fifteen points a game. Now you're getting the playoffs, he's
at nineteen points a game. He is just on a
(14:29):
slow decline. It's just he can't take over games anymore.
He just can't do it. Whether he's not in shape,
whether he just doesn't care, whatever it is, he's not
the same guy. And to expect him to say, when
you putting on that Superman cape, ain't happening. It ain't happening. You.
You gotta shift and say, all right, Yris Maxe, you
gotta carry us through this. And hopefully Joel Embiide comes
back for game three and Docs got excuses coming up.
(14:52):
But I mean that's just it, man, this James. You
think James Harden is gonna come back, It's like people
who are on the Mike Tyson, Uh, hangover, see what
I did there? He said for a long time. Hey,
oh Novent you Waitnell Tyson started. No, dude, Tyson's done.
He'd been a guy. He's done. He's not gonna fight
him with Tyson's gonna come back and wain and just no,
he's not. Mike Tyson has done. He know to you though,
(15:12):
I'm still not gonna blank with him on a plane.
Oh no, I wouldn't do that. No, I would say,
I'm with you. I would not do that. But as
far as being heavyweight champion of the world for fifteen years,
but there's people now who think, you know, Tyson gets
back in the right now, it's all done. He's done.
If we have a senior tour like you do for now.
But the other city, you're like, the last thing with
(15:32):
James Harden here real quick? Is that the idea of
and I said the many weary miles. Man, you're talking
about a guy who's had thirty three thousand career regular
season minutes and they've gone. He's played enough playoff games.
Right is you know the things that we expected to
happen to Lebron, Well now you're seeing pieces of it.
But still can dominate a game. Right, may not be
(15:52):
able to do it every night, but he can still
do it. Jim's Harden can't do that anymore. Right, We
talked about it the other the other day. He at
zero twenty shot games since he's been a member of
the Sixers, right, and didn't do it a ton when
he was with the Nets. So yeah, it's uh, this
is the end. Yeah, you gotta listen all week. It

minutes Fromdavid Gascon. When I say, what's trying to used
to say, guys, is it Kelly Trapuca, Guys keep going, Yes,

loved Lucas scored and then did a mean mug. That
guy has no muscle and he's doing like they pose
like he's all right, I'm gonna puff out my chest
and here's my guns, Like no guns, there's no definition.
(18:22):
What are you doing? Man? Him and yokis right like
as good as they are, they have like bo I
wonder what they would be like if they had muscles,
you know, like like like if any times okay, yeah,
you know the two of that. You know Drew Timmy too,
you know all the big muscle poses he look like
during the n C eight tournament, all these had like
you could put on a little bit, you know what.
It's kind of like a conversation I had on my
(18:43):
Sunday show where with Bucky Brooks, where the the idea
of George came up with someone trying to make a
catch in the stands and he was wearing Georgs and
you know, they made a point to bring that up
on the show and I defended the guy saying, hey,
if that you do you likewise, if you want to
do the most muscular and you got no muscles, you know,
(19:05):
I own it. I want to show you the muscles
that I don't know? The irony? Are you making a muscle?
What are you doing? Are you just putting your hands
up in the air? Are you are you making what
are you doing? Are you doing the Florence Pew dance
at the end of Midsummer with your hands in the
air the whole Are you making muscles or not? You know?
Midsummer was on after the show last night, I don't
watch was you know? After all the games had gone
(19:27):
final it became a part of our viewing again more
cheat you know, here's here's I was watching last night
going is there any point in this where Cheaty can't
make a decision? And this is why he winds up
tight right, And is there any point where he just
can't decide on something? And that's why he gets sorry Spolered,
that's why Cheety gets killed in the movie. Can he
not decide on something? Is that? No? No? Now he
(19:48):
made he made decisions. That's a big thing. Cheety. He
made decisions in that movie. They were bad ones. And
you know, actually flying to Sweden to go to Midsummer
turned out to be the worst one. But you know,
I really enjoyed. I was actually gonna invite you guys.
I just looked at my favorite band storing schedule and
they do have a date in Sweden in the summer. Though,
you're gonna say, we have our own Midsummer thing. Why
(20:09):
don't you guys come to our thing. It'll be great,
It'll be awesome. You'll get to see a bear in
a cage. There's a big house, don't go into Oh yeah,
we got psychedelic shrooms. Oh it's a great time. Really there?
Or wait? Does he? Where do I get the customed?
Is here? Everybody? Wait a minute. All these hieroglyphics I
gotta pay attention to because this is the whole movie.
(20:30):
This is gonna say, what's gonna happen to me, and
I stay here with Harmon in his extended family. And
when you say, bear, what are we really getting into here? Twitter?
And how about a Fresca Mike gets swollen dome the
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carbon until
I go to a Midsummer and I'll make sure to
(20:50):
tell you if I'm going, so you know, something happens,
I don't come back. You know what, that's what happens.
Just just wear a go pro man, come on it
and and leave the footage to me, uh and bequeath
it to me so that I can profit off it.
Oh okay, alright, very good. I'll make sure and then uh,
certain members will wind up staying there in in in
(21:11):
big flower arrangements like big flower dresses, you know what
to to the earth we return man. You know, here's
my thing is just really quick about midsummer right, here's
my really good thing, you know. And look, I get
the suspension of disbelief and what a great horror movie
it was. But at the end, don't you think that
at some point the police are gonna come say, hey,
all these people said they were going here and none
(21:33):
of them came back. What's going Oh isn't this one
of the women that actually went with them? And she's
here and everybody else is gone. I mean, I gotta
think that they would have had to beat it out
of there at the end, because you know, there the
police are gonna come look at it's like eight people
that went missing that you're never gonna see again. And
they had to tell, Hey, I'm going to I'm just
(21:54):
going to a friends midsummer thing, you know. I mean
Will Poulter had to tell Jason Sadikis and Jennifer Anderston listen,
I'm going of this thing. You know, I can't do
this next movie where the miller's too so because I'm
gear going up and going to Sweden and I think
the pat you know, I got a question here, I
got I got a question. I don't know where where
is everybody? Uh we don't know what's that? Oh it's
(22:14):
just a burned out Uh the building there? What there
looks like there's humans. Gott No, no, no, no, no,
it's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's decorative. It's not
it's not really. Yeah, yeah, we got this. This is
in the in the in the pilot, Michael's and we
went there the day after it was in the off pile.
Was that it's all it's all fake. Trust me. Um.
Now earlier today there is a you know, there's a
(22:37):
fun thing in Major League Baseball that just as blown up.
But I don't mean the Reds are about to lose again. Um.
Madison bum Garner today got ejected, Just got ejected. Uh,
ejected from the well, I don't know, maybe gets tossed
from the Diamondbacks win over the Marlins after the first inning.
(22:58):
Why did this happen? Bob Garner have up a leadoff
homer then retired the next three batters. Uh. Then he's
coming off the field and he gets a foreign substance
check with first base umpire Dan Bollino. And if you've
watched this video, it is intense. Bum Garner comes walking
off and you can see him yelling as he's coming off,
which is what Madison bum Gardner is. And he comes
(23:20):
over to the ump and the umps grabs his hand
and he just starts feeling it, like looking for a
sticky substance, not looking at bum Gardner's hand the entire time,
just staring at him like you want to go say
something to me. So I can throw you out and
bum Garner sitting there, got his hand up, looks up
at the jump, says something as he's walking away, and
the ump tosses him and bum Gardner loses it as
(23:42):
he gets thrown out from and and this video is
just is just crazy the way they are just staring
daggers at each other. Here's what it sounded like on
the broadcast. Look at Bollino's hands though, he's like massaging
his hands. Adrian Johnson, the crew chief, is that herd.
He just checked the hands, made eye contact. You're good
(24:03):
and let him know. Bullino at first base never even
looked down at his hands. He made I can He
was just watching the whole time, kind of baiting Matt
bumb and and and the weird massaging of the hand.
And it was it was, I mean excessive. Is is
about the only word that comes into me. Yes, it
was Diamondbacks Radio Network on the call. It was very excessive,
(24:24):
excessive massaging of the hand, especially the way he was
just staring at bum Gardner the entire time. Uh so, yes,
because you know there's a bud coming, Yes, Dan Bollino
out of bounds. Did he want to throw Madison Bumgarner
out of the game. Absolutely was it Probably most likely
something that bum Gardner said either after he gets up
the home run or while he was walking off the field.
(24:46):
Most likely because this is kind of who baton Madison
bum Gardener is. So yeah, was Bullino out of whack?
Was he out of line with it? Yes? Because you
shouldn't have done that. Stand there, I'm dying for you
to say something. I'm gonna keep massaging you until I
can pisch you off enough that you say something. I
can throw you out of the game. Now. I don't
believe it was for any reason that he doesn't feel
that was provoked. But yes, the umpire went too far. However,
(25:09):
this is who Madison bum Gardener has been his entire career.
He has always been a guy too. I can say
whatever I want to on the field to the battist,
to the other team, and you have to just run
around the basis and not say anything back to me.
He's like he's he's like he's Bob Gibson the way
he's like fighting all these battles all the time, Like
when he gives up a home run instead of him
(25:29):
loving to yell at guys and point at them and
yell at his glove. He yells them, run around the bases,
don't show me up. Right, bum Gardener wants to be
able to do whatever he wants to do on the mound.
He's always wanted that. But the minute you do something him,
it's oh no, no, come on, come on, come on.
I'm a victim. I'm the victim. So, yeah, you know what, Well, yeah,
the umpire was out of line. I have to say
I enjoyed Madison bum Garder getting a little bit of
(25:50):
the medicine that he's been doling out for the last
ten years, because I'm kind of sick of his active
this whole. Yeah, I'm not, I'm not. You know, you
don't stare me down. You don't. You don't show me up.
You don't do anything. I do that to you. I
do that, You don't do that to me. It's like,
come on, man, if you give up a home run,
guy should be able to prance around the bases. Can
you certainly do that after you strike somebody out. You
always yell at people. He's the biggest talker on the
(26:12):
mound in Major League Baseball. He's always yelling at guys,
and he was doing it coming off the field. Now
everybody's sick of his act, at least I'm sick of it,
and I'm kind of glad he got a taste of
his own medicine. Look, it creates content for us, So
I mean, that's a victory. The other is, when I
first looked at it, I know it's from a game,
but my imagination went and I'm like, that looks like
(26:34):
michae O'Malley. The hell's Michael Malley and in in an
acting class here with Madison bum Garner, he was the ring.
He he just needed to wear his brewing jersey and
while he was giving the massage to bump Garner. But
like it's it's creepy. Anybody wants to caption it and
and give us your your best quotes off and have
at it at how about a fresca at school and dome? Um,
(26:57):
it was odd, bizarre to your point, right, It's what
bum Garner has been doing forever. And I think, what
are you gonna standing eight count before you just pull
your hand away and say I'm done with this? Right?
Is that gonna have to be legislated in the next
c B A with the adjustments to this. You cannot
massage my hand for longer than seven seven seconds because
(27:21):
I look at this point and the broadcast description was apt.
He never looked down. He grabbed his hand and that
was it. Stared into his eyes like you're gonna might
as well have been interrogating him under the bright lights
of n Y p D Blue, and I'm getting massage
just hand until you tell me if you committed that
(27:44):
crime in that bodega. Alright, right right there between those
fingers is where I would stick the needle. I mean,
come on, this is how they do it now. They
don't stick it in your arm. They stick it in
your hand right here or right here between the knuckle
on the pinky and the ring finger. Right there. Oh,
I gotta oh, I can feel a vein right here
between your middle finger and your first finger. That's where
(28:06):
they're gonna stick in. How do you feel about this?
Are you ready to confess? Like the other things Bertie
Mack when he's trying to get the vans and oceans
of leather squeeze of the cat's head and just staring
him down until the price keeps dropping, I mean, what
what else? Eventually? Yeah, anybody's gonna crack or they're just
(28:28):
gonna start laughing at the guy, which probably gets you
thrown out just the same, right, you know, and trying
to figure out what's real what's imagined in terms of
the descriptions of what Larner allegedly said, right, but ultimately
it was, you know, more or less a blank you
uh and and maybe they had a history beyond this
(28:49):
game that was just sitting. I'm sure every umpire has
a history with Madison bum Garner because the guy can't
shut up. It's like we've talked about with Draymond Green,
you know, and and you can check elsewhere for for
what we said. But the the that you know, he's
a guy that's played on that edge and with that
edge for all these years. Unfortunately, what happens that now
(29:11):
is your reputation and who you are, which means at
some point you're gonna wear it. For Draymond he wore it,
and I think rightfully so for the following game one
and bum Garner here, reputation matters, and eventually, as a
group they're gonna stand up for each other and say,
blank you you're done. And that's exactly what happened here,
(29:33):
even if it was one of the creepier interactions you'll
ever see. It was sport, sporting, of sports, field of
any type. I'm watching the massage, and you know what
I'm thinking. After like the second time, I thought, I
don't know why this came awhad because I'm crazy and
I'm you know, I'm a little cookie that way. But
I'm watching and you were having a day. You're you
(29:54):
were trying to think of where you can really throw
up some kind of take to see how crazy people
were are. Oh yeah, maybe maybe I should all that's
a good idea. We gott you know, put me put
a pin in that for next hour. I just I
don't know why, but I keep thinking of that scene
from Ghosts when they're doing the pottery and their hands
are on the pottery and they're on each other's hands
(30:15):
and they're on the pottery, and that's what I'm thinking of.
Besides that, I got the Righteous Brothers going, or you
just grabbed the sped up live version that Elvis day,
But either way you make your point because I was.
I was definitely in the Righteous Brothers version of that.
WHOA did we ever get an official explanation from him?
(30:40):
Is the way he never actually looked at his hand.
It's like it's gonna be in the eyes. He's gonna
give it all the way. No, no, no, maybe he
was doing the whole thing like I don't need to look.
I need to trust. Trust your feelings, Luke as Star
Wars Day, I feel my hand on your hand. If
I feel the sticky substance, I'm going to We need
to do clothes and open my mind to where the
sticky stuff distances on medicine, bum gardeners. That ah, there
(31:03):
it is. I've found it. If I concentrate enough, the
X wing Fighter is gonna come out of the swamp.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific. Hey, I'm Doug gottlie The podcast is called
All Ball. We usually talk all basketball all the time,
(31:25):
but it's more about the stories about what made these
people love their sport and all the interesting interactions along
the way. We talked to coaches, we talked to players,
We tell you stories. You download it, you listen to it.
I think you like it. Listen to All Ball with
Doug Gotlieb on the I Heart Radio app Apple podcast
(31:46):
or wherever you get your podcast. Oh, just picture of
the massage of bum gardeners and suddenly there's clay all
over it. There's a foreign substance, there's clay on it.
I gotta get that play off. The ball is all
great now Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harmon. Do we have a measurement
(32:08):
of bub Garner's hands like we do quarterback prospects. Oh? Yeah, yeah.
If it's bigger than Kenny Picketts, andy's good. Okay. Did
you see the photo going around uh the other day
where it was somebody holding like a hair dryer and
it was it was Kenny Pickett, Uh holding his one
of his Apple earbuds. It's yes, Like, oh, that was
(32:34):
that so unnecessary? Uh. We'll have more on the NBA
coming up in a few minutes. Right now, Dallas has
jumped out to a forty lead over Phoenix about seven
minutes to go before halftime. Uh. Tie game. A couple
minutes ago, Dallas on a little mini run here, uh,
and they're enjoying a five point lead. But uh, it
doesn't look like the nightmare is going to end tonight
(32:57):
for the Cincinnati Reds. They are trailing Milwaukee right now,
thirteen to three in the top of the eighth inning.
The Reds are two at bats away from falling to
three and twenty one on the season. They beat Atlanta
on opening Day. They beat Atlanta to end that first
(33:18):
series to be two and two. Then they lost a
bunch of games in a row. They beat St. Louis
four to one. Now they've lost a bunch of games
in a row again. This is now they're looking at.
They are on pace what could be maybe the worst
season in baseball history. Now that they got rid of
a lot of players, you knew it was going to
be a starting over type year. It's been a difficult
(33:40):
schedule so far for them. They've had the Dodgers, they've
had Atlanta. It's been a tough go. But this is
just awful. And I look at the Reds and like,
I feel like I feel I feel bad because I
don't want any fan base to go through this. But
at the same time, because I'm a little bit hey,
I'd like to see it, Like how many games in
a row can they lose? Can they be three and
thirty maybe three? Will they be five and fifty? Like
(34:01):
how many games can they keep losing? How many? How
long can this actually go on? Where they keep losing
games like this at an historic pace? Like I feel
bad about it, Like I feel like because I feel
bad for the for the Reds, I feel bad for
the fans because nobody shop. But at the same time,
I'm like, if you're gonna keep losing, man, let's let's
let's let' let's see. Let's see how much you can
really lose. But let's see how many games you can
(34:22):
really lose the experience of being in a batting slump
is that it feels like a labyrinth. One feels trapped
alone and disoriented. When you finally get out, you're relieved
and can't believe how easy it was to find the exit. Unfortunately,
that exit eventually leads to another labyrinth. Joey Vado April
(34:43):
two thousand, twenty two. Uh, fan Graphs, is this the
end for Joey Vado? He wrote back five months to
go and join the show. So, uh, it's just it's
one of those that we're gonna walk watch with morbid
curiosity and sadness. If it wasn't Cincinnati and the history. Yeah,
(35:05):
there's some some bad in there of of Momarge shot,
but a lot of victories, a lot of greatness, uh.
And baseball cards that I stacked up. How many how
many of those uh classics could I get into into
my collection of Pete Rose diving over people and stuff, uh,
Joe Morgan and then doing the impression of his elbow. Uh.
(35:29):
If it was any other organization, like you know what,
they should be relocated. This is done now. The owners
and their comments of where else you're gonna go? Uh
doesn't make them sympathetic, unfortunately to most. I liked his
brutal honesty. Hey, you're stuck with us, and that's the
way it is. You know. It's like the Reds are
kind of like what I say, like a sports stonehenge, right,
(35:51):
like there their memories of of better days gone by,
whether it's Penn State football, Indiana basketball. It's kind of
the The Heads were such a good team, heritage team
in Major League Baseball, and now it's just it's embarrassing.
I mean, this team is I mean, you're talking about
team that's a hundred and thirty years old in the
National League and it's this bad. I need some more
George Foster cards now that at two home runs in
(36:14):
seventy George, Yeah, I gotta go see if I can
find any game or game used or autographs of him.

(00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Gratings. Welcome inside, Happy
be Star Wars Day, May the fourth be with you
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend. His name
is Greto Hoe. As we take you through can't you can't,
(00:46):
can't escape the hobo dropping no matter what we do,
can't do it right in the beginning. Uh, it is
a big Star Wars Day. We got a big trailer
for Kenoby. James Harden clearly spent most of his day
watching it, not having the energy during tonight's game against
the Miami Heat. As the Sixes are about to go
down O two and I'm already going through a whole
(01:08):
big Doctor strange multiverse things. Mike Carmen trying to figure
out just what excuse Doc Rivers is going to make
after tonight's game. I don't know what he's gonna say,
but it's gonna be something. They were playing six guys.
One of them was invisible. He were in from another dimension.
That's a good one. I like that. Go back and
look at the video. Six guys one to doctor. Guy's
(01:32):
at the scorer's table ready to check in. No, clearly,
Look he's on the floor. He's on the four. Plenty
plock the shot play before right, he did it right,
the six guys. How can we compete? We can't compete
the six guys and we just can't do it. NBA's
gotta do something about that. It's not my fault. No,
that's good. I think that's probably the best excuse that
he can hit that. Mm hmm. I didn't look, or
(01:54):
you just have to admit that you were out coached,
or maybe I and I and I know you've James
Harden's name, like you're walking around like you know, instead
of murder or whatever you would put across the knuckles,
Jake Hell would whatever it might be, it says James
Harden today because of well a lot of James Harden
(02:17):
talked to you and I have been having for quite
some time. The sideshow Love and Hate on the the
best best right out of Cape Fear. Sorry I got
into Cape Fear for a second. No, no, it's good.
It's a fantastic movie. I mean, whether you like the
original or the Robert de Niro or you just want
(02:39):
to do the side show Bob that maybe that maybe
the best episode of the Simpsons ever. I mean that that.
I mean you talk about the pantheon of great Let's
Cape Fear episode maybe the greatest episode in all of
Simpson's dumb So I've always been partial to the one.
Um that's all the short films that they make with
(03:00):
the John Lovite characters. Barnie Gumbelt from me because I'm
already dead, I don't know it's and then it just
as theme, you know, the it's the artie of artists,
artistry kind of films coming from Barney. So yeah, good times. Uh,
not much of an effort by the Sixers, although Maxie
(03:23):
looked really good. So yeah, like hang hang a star
on him. I like when they put the stat up
at the end of the game, Uh, hey starting backcourt,
Uh sixers fifty points you know we heat uh you
know four and you go, okay, yeah, but James Harden
only had sixteen of those points. When they put that's
out of It's like, let's try to find a way
(03:45):
to prop up James Harden. Look the heat beat the
Sixers one nine, one oh three, and James Harden started
out okay. But like I have said, and as other
shows have taken clearly from us, uh, James Harden is
not that guy anymore. Max. He's the guy that's gonna
score thirty five to try to shoot you out of
things and do it. It's not James Harden. Harden was
(04:07):
six out of fifteen from the floor tonight. He took
five threes, he scored twenty points. He was on the
bench at the end. This is just who James Harden is. Right. Now,
here's the thing. I may do something little different tonight, Mike.
I may not have a big James Harden take, because
if I don't, that's gonna screw all the daytime shows
Tomorrow was the daytime shows tomorrow. If I don't have
(04:28):
a big James, we don't have a big James Harden take.
Don't know what to say nothing. You and I are
blessed in that, you know, we're we're kind of at
the the new cycle, right, because games are going on,
we've got announcements, You've got all sorts of stuff going on.
So generally there there's some stuff we leave behind. The
Ryan Tannehill Malik Willis thing. Was there a contest we
(04:49):
were supposed to be in for the dumbest, hottest, nonsensical take.
I mean, I I saw so many things getting retweeted
into my timeline. We're like, have we gotten collectively that
much dumber in the last week or so? The NFL
draft took the last brain cells and now we're done.
I mean, what are we doing? Uh? You know, it's
(05:11):
it's a it's a thing. And you know, some days
I get more mad than others. And look, not not
to say that, you know, we're the greatest radio host
in the world, but your favorite daytime hosts listen to
our show and you see our take show up the
next morning in many places, right, very specific stuff, not
just James Harden isn't very good. James Harden gets tired
(05:34):
at the end of games. This was we told you,
and we've been telling you. We had it. We had
it two nights ago. James Harden is not that guy anymore.
James Harden is not the player you thought he was,
very specific words out of our mouth. James Harden is
not the guy he was. And what happened the next day?
I saw it on two Big time daytime shows and
I saw the font on ESPN. Is James Harden still
(05:58):
the same player? I'm like, you've got to be kidding
me debating when Raymond Green was a Hall of Famer. No,
but I mean, come on, no, no, you are, buddy,
You are a Hall of Famer in my book. I
don't don't get anybody you know what his value is
relative to a bunch of other players, Like yeah, obviously,
(06:20):
like all the stuff's got retweeted into my timeline while
he was walking my dog and he he sensed that
I was getting edged and so all of a sudden
he got chippy with people walking by like this just stupid.
Have to say. I'm I'm sending out a bunch of
captain obvious hats to offices over the next couple of weeks.
(06:41):
Guy with Lesia's mad, I'm going to be mad. I
want him to bet me, I want him to give
me food. I want to treat so coming down the leading,
I'm telling you, all of a sudden he was agro
even though the poor little guy had to have a
bunch of teeth last week. It's terrible. I'm telling the
medication gave him those big sauce like guys when Montgomery
(07:01):
Burns was floating in the X Files episode. They did.
But you know, there are some days when I get okay,
you know what, information stree and I'm fine. And some
days I wake up and I see stuff that specifically
lifted again, specific things that we say that is it's
too much of a coincidence. Not just James Harden, right,
(07:22):
the James Harden stuff, He's not the same guy. Boy,
that's really specific. And to see that telling you your
favorite daytime host. Listen to the show and follow us
on Twitter and take a look and see I actually
saw today. What do we say about John Morant last night? Right?
John Morant's the best player in this series? Right? We
said that John Morant is the best player in this series.
As great as stuff is, John Morant is the best
(07:43):
player in this series. Boom, What do I see on
the blogs today people talking about John Morant is the
best player in this series. I'm done. I'm done. Either
you gotta pay us money or you have to say.
I got this from the Jason Smith Show with Mike
Harmon because tonight's one of those nights I'm a little
salty about it Sunnight Talks, but other than other nights,
I'm like, come on, man, you got come up with
(08:03):
your own stuff. I mean, really, come up with your
own stuff. Someday you guys get paid a lot of
money during the day. Are you get paid a lot
of money to come up with stuff? Man, whether it's
whether it's producers, whether it shows, come up with your
own stuff. I mean, don't take. If you want to
take the take, then take it so it doesn't even
look like you take. But you can't sit here and
take stuff that's almost word for word exactly what we say.
Can't just stop doing it, man, stop doing it my calves.
(08:27):
I'm saying, yes, well they should, they're good calves. Being like,
in the middle of the take, it was about calves.
Now it's just too obvious. I mean maybe if the
Mets hadn't lost today, I wouldn't be as salty, But no,
I'm salty about this. And when I get up and
I see that, I come on, man, I like, really, dude,
come up with something. Come up with your own stuff.
You get paid. You guys get paid money during the day.
(08:48):
Do you do your thing? Man, you do a lot
of things on TV. You get bad big time TV money.
Come up with it or send us a check, either
one or Hey, just say you know what I heard
on the Jason Smith Show with Mike and put our
smiling faces up there is you can see what you
look like. Hey, how you doing? Everybody? Just just say it,
Just say because I'm done, I'm done with with with
with the rest of it. Now tomorrow may feel different. Hey,
(09:09):
look at that, Look at our take showing up here.
But but right now the hardened, the jamran. Yeah, I'm
a little salty about It's why I try to stay
stay contained in my box. So like today, I watched
a lot of Star Wars. There was a Criminal Minds
marathon going on. The kids were home early. I made
a nice and chicken ticken Masla. Can you say that
on the radio? Tie shirt? Can he say that on
(09:30):
the radio? We have to dump that. I don't know
what that was. We have to dump that. What I
do need to do is next time I need to
reserve some of the sauce without the chicken in it.
So you can try it because it's like tast He's
not even paying attention. That stuff sounds amazing, you know
what we're talking about? My favorite his Indian Yeah, well,
what what was the name of the dish? Chicken Tiki Masala?
(09:51):
Is that what you said? Yeah? Really, that's exactly what
you said. Okay, all right, that's fine, that's one, all right. Yeah,
So it's somewhat depending depending on who's Sometimes people say massala,
sometimes it's muscla. You know, it's it's all about the
you know, accent on the syllable, so you know, it's
(10:15):
I I do my best outside of what we hear
in programming of promos and stuff, and you know, for
folks in the greater world, unless I'm made aware of it,
I tend to shut it off. I spend more time
with my dog. You know what it does. It helps
my blood pressure really. But then if something happens to
your dog suddenly you turn into John Wick. You would
(10:35):
completely be a new age John Wick. You would you
would be lost with your jaunty hat. You would have
a jaunty hat filed down to a point where you
could cut people's throats with it. Well, already weapon that way.
Do you see the one I just got. It would
take Anthony one. I don't know which one I'm wearing.
You would take the feather off and just yond people
(10:56):
with it. Well, it's that that's the weapon. Stay away
from the hat. Either I'm whistling or I'm going to
Jack Nicholson in thelass like Batman Truncle Bingo. Time to
pay the check. Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show
with Mike car But if you're a valued customer, you
deserve a simple gesture of appreciation from your credit card company.
(11:18):
And that's why I discovered matches all the cash back
you we're on the end of your first year, discover
exceptionally common sense over dot com slash match limitations they
do apply. So, yeah, Harden, no one should be surprised,
all right, no one should be surprised about James Harden anymore.
But come up with something else. Let me see what
you got tomorrow, let me see daytime. What do you got?
What do you got? If I don't give you a
hot take right now, what are you gonna do? What
(11:39):
are you gonna do? Actually, you know, you know I'll
take it even further. I'll double down on James Harden.
He's a joke bag. He's now hitting that territory he
is now he's become all Beard. I mean that's what
he is now. He's now all be like the Beard
used to be like maybe thirty three percent of who
he was and it was a big accent. Now he's
(12:00):
now he's like Beard and five NBA player, Well that's
even hotter. You know, he was seven for seven from
the line. But listening to the broadcast, that was like imploring,
you know, I think they were gonna be able to
speak the old James Harden back into existence. He's saying
it more efficient tonight, like he couldn't be any less
(12:21):
efficient that he was in Game one, Like Brden, let
me really lower the bar for Harden. But that's exactly
what they did. And I love listening to those guys.
They had a great broadcast, but like the look, he
was great. We all recognize that he was great. And
then by the end when he got to the playoffs,
(12:42):
there was nothing left Why because he didn't take care
of himself and he played many weary minutes, okay, and
then he was a one man gang trying to fight
and he was out of gas. Right now, he's got
no gas. He's got no gas. He can't afford the
five fifty five per gallon at the here in southern California.
He's done. And Maxie did everything he could to try
(13:05):
to will that team back into making it a game.
He and Harris combined for fifty five. But it's not enough,
not enough, because the heat just said, Okay, uh tell Vis,
you talk about you guys got a little more and
we need to pad that lead. All right? How many
times did you hear that? And then Eric Bolstro once again, Hey, guys,
well we'll need a couple more, little more, a little
(13:26):
more here. You think you had a little more in you,
little more? And then Victor Oladipo is walking past guys
like he's a rookie again, right, No injury history, no
nothing's like, Hey, watch me take this guy one on
one and leave him behind me. That's just unfair. I mean,
he got to sit almost the entire regular season and
now he's there going, Oh, let me look at this.
There are two wins away from the East Finals, where
(13:48):
a month ago it was if we can go a
game and Jimmy Butler and Spoilster don't fight on the court,
that's a victory for the Heat. All right, look look
at look at how far they've come in a month. Now,
look at this. I mean, it's great stuff for the Heat.
But Lookin has been on a slow decline for a
long time. Now, okay, you want to just take this
year into account for where he was averaging twenty four
(14:09):
points a game in the early part of December into January.
Then he's about twenty points a game. Then he gets
traded to the Philadelphia seventies sixers. He's around twenty points
a game. Then you get into April, he's down to
fifteen points a game. Now you're getting the playoffs, he's
at nineteen points a game. He is just on a
(14:29):
slow decline. It's just he can't take over games anymore.
He just can't do it. Whether he's not in shape,
whether he just doesn't care, whatever it is, he's not
the same guy. And to expect him to say, when
you putting on that Superman cape, ain't happening. It ain't happening. You.
You gotta shift and say, all right, Yris Maxe, you
gotta carry us through this. And hopefully Joel Embiide comes
back for game three and Docs got excuses coming up.
(14:52):
But I mean that's just it, man, this James. You
think James Harden is gonna come back, It's like people
who are on the Mike Tyson, Uh, hangover, see what
I did there? He said for a long time. Hey,
oh Novent you Waitnell Tyson started. No, dude, Tyson's done.
He'd been a guy. He's done. He's not gonna fight
him with Tyson's gonna come back and wain and just no,
he's not. Mike Tyson has done. He know to you though,
(15:12):
I'm still not gonna blank with him on a plane.
Oh no, I wouldn't do that. No, I would say,
I'm with you. I would not do that. But as
far as being heavyweight champion of the world for fifteen years,
but there's people now who think, you know, Tyson gets
back in the right now, it's all done. He's done.
If we have a senior tour like you do for now.
But the other city, you're like, the last thing with
(15:32):
James Harden here real quick? Is that the idea of
and I said the many weary miles. Man, you're talking
about a guy who's had thirty three thousand career regular
season minutes and they've gone. He's played enough playoff games.
Right is you know the things that we expected to
happen to Lebron, Well now you're seeing pieces of it.
But still can dominate a game. Right, may not be
(15:52):
able to do it every night, but he can still
do it. Jim's Harden can't do that anymore. Right, We
talked about it the other the other day. He at
zero twenty shot games since he's been a member of
the Sixers, right, and didn't do it a ton when
he was with the Nets. So yeah, it's uh, this
is the end. Yeah, you gotta listen all week. It

have more on this game coming up in a few
(18:00):
minutes Fromdavid Gascon. When I say, what's trying to used
to say, guys, is it Kelly Trapuca, Guys keep going, Yes,
that's where it's gonna go. By the way, I just
loved Lucas scored and then did a mean mug. That
guy has no muscle and he's doing like they pose
like he's all right, I'm gonna puff out my chest
and here's my guns, Like no guns, there's no definition.
(18:22):
What are you doing? Man? Him and yokis right like
as good as they are, they have like bo I
wonder what they would be like if they had muscles,
you know, like like like if any times okay, yeah,
you know the two of that. You know Drew Timmy too,
you know all the big muscle poses he look like
during the n C eight tournament, all these had like
you could put on a little bit, you know what.
It's kind of like a conversation I had on my
(18:43):
Sunday show where with Bucky Brooks, where the the idea
of George came up with someone trying to make a
catch in the stands and he was wearing Georgs and
you know, they made a point to bring that up
on the show and I defended the guy saying, hey,
if that you do you likewise, if you want to
do the most muscular and you got no muscles, you know,
(19:05):
I own it. I want to show you the muscles
that I don't know? The irony? Are you making a muscle?
What are you doing? Are you just putting your hands
up in the air? Are you are you making what
are you doing? Are you doing the Florence Pew dance
at the end of Midsummer with your hands in the
air the whole Are you making muscles or not? You know?
Midsummer was on after the show last night, I don't
watch was you know? After all the games had gone
(19:27):
final it became a part of our viewing again more
cheat you know, here's here's I was watching last night
going is there any point in this where Cheaty can't
make a decision? And this is why he winds up
tight right, And is there any point where he just
can't decide on something? And that's why he gets sorry Spolered,
that's why Cheety gets killed in the movie. Can he
not decide on something? Is that? No? No? Now he
(19:48):
made he made decisions. That's a big thing. Cheety. He
made decisions in that movie. They were bad ones. And
you know, actually flying to Sweden to go to Midsummer
turned out to be the worst one. But you know,
I really enjoyed. I was actually gonna invite you guys.
I just looked at my favorite band storing schedule and
they do have a date in Sweden in the summer. Though,
you're gonna say, we have our own Midsummer thing. Why
(20:09):
don't you guys come to our thing. It'll be great,
It'll be awesome. You'll get to see a bear in
a cage. There's a big house, don't go into Oh yeah,
we got psychedelic shrooms. Oh it's a great time. Really there?
Or wait? Does he? Where do I get the customed?
Is here? Everybody? Wait a minute. All these hieroglyphics I
gotta pay attention to because this is the whole movie.
(20:30):
This is gonna say, what's gonna happen to me, and
I stay here with Harmon in his extended family. And
when you say, bear, what are we really getting into here? Twitter?
And how about a Fresca Mike gets swollen dome the
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carbon until
I go to a Midsummer and I'll make sure to
(20:50):
tell you if I'm going, so you know, something happens,
I don't come back. You know what, that's what happens.
Just just wear a go pro man, come on it
and and leave the footage to me, uh and bequeath
it to me so that I can profit off it.
Oh okay, alright, very good. I'll make sure and then uh,
certain members will wind up staying there in in in
(21:11):
big flower arrangements like big flower dresses, you know what
to to the earth we return man. You know, here's
my thing is just really quick about midsummer right, here's
my really good thing, you know. And look, I get
the suspension of disbelief and what a great horror movie
it was. But at the end, don't you think that
at some point the police are gonna come say, hey,
all these people said they were going here and none
(21:33):
of them came back. What's going Oh isn't this one
of the women that actually went with them? And she's
here and everybody else is gone. I mean, I gotta
think that they would have had to beat it out
of there at the end, because you know, there the
police are gonna come look at it's like eight people
that went missing that you're never gonna see again. And
they had to tell, Hey, I'm going to I'm just
(21:54):
going to a friends midsummer thing, you know. I mean
Will Poulter had to tell Jason Sadikis and Jennifer Anderston listen,
I'm going of this thing. You know, I can't do
this next movie where the miller's too so because I'm
gear going up and going to Sweden and I think
the pat you know, I got a question here, I
got I got a question. I don't know where where
is everybody? Uh we don't know what's that? Oh it's
(22:14):
just a burned out Uh the building there? What there
looks like there's humans. Gott No, no, no, no, no,
it's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's decorative. It's not
it's not really. Yeah, yeah, we got this. This is
in the in the in the pilot, Michael's and we
went there the day after it was in the off pile.
Was that it's all it's all fake. Trust me. Um.
Now earlier today there is a you know, there's a
(22:37):
fun thing in Major League Baseball that just as blown up.
But I don't mean the Reds are about to lose again. Um.
Madison bum Garner today got ejected, Just got ejected. Uh,
ejected from the well, I don't know, maybe gets tossed
from the Diamondbacks win over the Marlins after the first inning.
(22:58):
Why did this happen? Bob Garner have up a leadoff
homer then retired the next three batters. Uh. Then he's
coming off the field and he gets a foreign substance
check with first base umpire Dan Bollino. And if you've
watched this video, it is intense. Bum Garner comes walking
off and you can see him yelling as he's coming off,
which is what Madison bum Gardner is. And he comes
(23:20):
over to the ump and the umps grabs his hand
and he just starts feeling it, like looking for a
sticky substance, not looking at bum Gardner's hand the entire time,
just staring at him like you want to go say
something to me. So I can throw you out and
bum Garner sitting there, got his hand up, looks up
at the jump, says something as he's walking away, and
the ump tosses him and bum Gardner loses it as
(23:42):
he gets thrown out from and and this video is
just is just crazy the way they are just staring
daggers at each other. Here's what it sounded like on
the broadcast. Look at Bollino's hands though, he's like massaging
his hands. Adrian Johnson, the crew chief, is that herd.
He just checked the hands, made eye contact. You're good
(24:03):
and let him know. Bullino at first base never even
looked down at his hands. He made I can He
was just watching the whole time, kind of baiting Matt
bumb and and and the weird massaging of the hand.
And it was it was, I mean excessive. Is is
about the only word that comes into me. Yes, it
was Diamondbacks Radio Network on the call. It was very excessive,
(24:24):
excessive massaging of the hand, especially the way he was
just staring at bum Gardner the entire time. Uh so, yes,
because you know there's a bud coming, Yes, Dan Bollino
out of bounds. Did he want to throw Madison Bumgarner
out of the game. Absolutely was it Probably most likely
something that bum Gardner said either after he gets up
the home run or while he was walking off the field.
(24:46):
Most likely because this is kind of who baton Madison
bum Gardener is. So yeah, was Bullino out of whack?
Was he out of line with it? Yes? Because you
shouldn't have done that. Stand there, I'm dying for you
to say something. I'm gonna keep massaging you until I
can pisch you off enough that you say something. I
can throw you out of the game. Now. I don't
believe it was for any reason that he doesn't feel
that was provoked. But yes, the umpire went too far. However,
(25:09):
this is who Madison bum Gardener has been his entire career.
He has always been a guy too. I can say
whatever I want to on the field to the battist,
to the other team, and you have to just run
around the basis and not say anything back to me.
He's like he's he's like he's Bob Gibson the way
he's like fighting all these battles all the time, Like
when he gives up a home run instead of him
(25:29):
loving to yell at guys and point at them and
yell at his glove. He yells them, run around the bases,
don't show me up. Right, bum Gardener wants to be
able to do whatever he wants to do on the mound.
He's always wanted that. But the minute you do something him,
it's oh no, no, come on, come on, come on.
I'm a victim. I'm the victim. So, yeah, you know what, Well, yeah,
the umpire was out of line. I have to say
I enjoyed Madison bum Garder getting a little bit of
(25:50):
the medicine that he's been doling out for the last
ten years, because I'm kind of sick of his active
this whole. Yeah, I'm not, I'm not. You know, you
don't stare me down. You don't. You don't show me up.
You don't do anything. I do that to you. I
do that, You don't do that to me. It's like,
come on, man, if you give up a home run,
guy should be able to prance around the bases. Can
you certainly do that after you strike somebody out. You
always yell at people. He's the biggest talker on the
(26:12):
mound in Major League Baseball. He's always yelling at guys,
and he was doing it coming off the field. Now
everybody's sick of his act, at least I'm sick of it,
and I'm kind of glad he got a taste of
his own medicine. Look, it creates content for us, So
I mean, that's a victory. The other is, when I
first looked at it, I know it's from a game,
but my imagination went and I'm like, that looks like
(26:34):
michae O'Malley. The hell's Michael Malley and in in an
acting class here with Madison bum Garner, he was the ring.
He he just needed to wear his brewing jersey and
while he was giving the massage to bump Garner. But
like it's it's creepy. Anybody wants to caption it and
and give us your your best quotes off and have
at it at how about a fresca at school and dome? Um,
(26:57):
it was odd, bizarre to your point, right, It's what
bum Garner has been doing forever. And I think, what
are you gonna standing eight count before you just pull
your hand away and say I'm done with this? Right?
Is that gonna have to be legislated in the next
c B A with the adjustments to this. You cannot
massage my hand for longer than seven seven seconds because
(27:21):
I look at this point and the broadcast description was apt.
He never looked down. He grabbed his hand and that
was it. Stared into his eyes like you're gonna might
as well have been interrogating him under the bright lights
of n Y p D Blue, and I'm getting massage
just hand until you tell me if you committed that
(27:44):
crime in that bodega. Alright, right right there between those
fingers is where I would stick the needle. I mean,
come on, this is how they do it now. They
don't stick it in your arm. They stick it in
your hand right here or right here between the knuckle
on the pinky and the ring finger. Right there. Oh,
I gotta oh, I can feel a vein right here
between your middle finger and your first finger. That's where
(28:06):
they're gonna stick in. How do you feel about this?
Are you ready to confess? Like the other things Bertie
Mack when he's trying to get the vans and oceans
of leather squeeze of the cat's head and just staring
him down until the price keeps dropping, I mean, what
what else? Eventually? Yeah, anybody's gonna crack or they're just
(28:28):
gonna start laughing at the guy, which probably gets you
thrown out just the same, right, you know, and trying
to figure out what's real what's imagined in terms of
the descriptions of what Larner allegedly said, right, but ultimately
it was, you know, more or less a blank you
uh and and maybe they had a history beyond this
(28:49):
game that was just sitting. I'm sure every umpire has
a history with Madison bum Garner because the guy can't
shut up. It's like we've talked about with Draymond Green,
you know, and and you can check elsewhere for for
what we said. But the the that you know, he's
a guy that's played on that edge and with that
edge for all these years. Unfortunately, what happens that now
(29:11):
is your reputation and who you are, which means at
some point you're gonna wear it. For Draymond he wore it,
and I think rightfully so for the following game one
and bum Garner here, reputation matters, and eventually, as a
group they're gonna stand up for each other and say,
blank you you're done. And that's exactly what happened here,
(29:33):
even if it was one of the creepier interactions you'll
ever see. It was sport, sporting, of sports, field of
any type. I'm watching the massage, and you know what
I'm thinking. After like the second time, I thought, I
don't know why this came awhad because I'm crazy and
I'm you know, I'm a little cookie that way. But
I'm watching and you were having a day. You're you
(29:54):
were trying to think of where you can really throw
up some kind of take to see how crazy people
were are. Oh yeah, maybe maybe I should all that's
a good idea. We gott you know, put me put
a pin in that for next hour. I just I
don't know why, but I keep thinking of that scene
from Ghosts when they're doing the pottery and their hands
are on the pottery and they're on each other's hands
(30:15):
and they're on the pottery, and that's what I'm thinking of.
Besides that, I got the Righteous Brothers going, or you
just grabbed the sped up live version that Elvis day,
But either way you make your point because I was.
I was definitely in the Righteous Brothers version of that.
WHOA did we ever get an official explanation from him?
(30:40):
Is the way he never actually looked at his hand.
It's like it's gonna be in the eyes. He's gonna
give it all the way. No, no, no, maybe he
was doing the whole thing like I don't need to look.
I need to trust. Trust your feelings, Luke as Star
Wars Day, I feel my hand on your hand. If
I feel the sticky substance, I'm going to We need
to do clothes and open my mind to where the
sticky stuff distances on medicine, bum gardeners. That ah, there
(31:03):
it is. I've found it. If I concentrate enough, the
X wing Fighter is gonna come out of the swamp.

I gotta get that play off. The ball is all
great now Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harmon. Do we have a measurement
(32:08):
of bub Garner's hands like we do quarterback prospects. Oh? Yeah, yeah.
If it's bigger than Kenny Picketts, andy's good. Okay. Did
you see the photo going around uh the other day
where it was somebody holding like a hair dryer and
it was it was Kenny Pickett, Uh holding his one
of his Apple earbuds. It's yes, Like, oh, that was
(32:34):
that so unnecessary? Uh. We'll have more on the NBA
coming up in a few minutes. Right now, Dallas has
jumped out to a forty lead over Phoenix about seven
minutes to go before halftime. Uh. Tie game. A couple
minutes ago, Dallas on a little mini run here, uh,
and they're enjoying a five point lead. But uh, it
doesn't look like the nightmare is going to end tonight
(32:57):
for the Cincinnati Reds. They are trailing Milwaukee right now,
thirteen to three in the top of the eighth inning.
The Reds are two at bats away from falling to
three and twenty one on the season. They beat Atlanta
on opening Day. They beat Atlanta to end that first
(33:18):
series to be two and two. Then they lost a
bunch of games in a row. They beat St. Louis
four to one. Now they've lost a bunch of games
in a row again. This is now they're looking at.
They are on pace what could be maybe the worst
season in baseball history. Now that they got rid of
a lot of players, you knew it was going to
be a starting over type year. It's been a difficult
(33:40):
schedule so far for them. They've had the Dodgers, they've
had Atlanta. It's been a tough go. But this is
just awful. And I look at the Reds and like,
I feel like I feel I feel bad because I
don't want any fan base to go through this. But
at the same time, because I'm a little bit hey,
I'd like to see it, Like how many games in
a row can they lose? Can they be three and
thirty maybe three? Will they be five and fifty? Like
(34:01):
how many games can they keep losing? How many? How
long can this actually go on? Where they keep losing
games like this at an historic pace? Like I feel
bad about it, Like I feel like because I feel
bad for the for the Reds, I feel bad for
the fans because nobody shop. But at the same time,
I'm like, if you're gonna keep losing, man, let's let's
let's let' let's see. Let's see how much you can
really lose. But let's see how many games you can
(34:22):
really lose the experience of being in a batting slump
is that it feels like a labyrinth. One feels trapped
alone and disoriented. When you finally get out, you're relieved
and can't believe how easy it was to find the exit. Unfortunately,
that exit eventually leads to another labyrinth. Joey Vado April
(34:43):
two thousand, twenty two. Uh, fan Graphs, is this the
end for Joey Vado? He wrote back five months to
go and join the show. So, uh, it's just it's
one of those that we're gonna walk watch with morbid
curiosity and sadness. If it wasn't Cincinnati and the history. Yeah,
(35:05):
there's some some bad in there of of Momarge shot,
but a lot of victories, a lot of greatness, uh.
And baseball cards that I stacked up. How many how
many of those uh classics could I get into into
my collection of Pete Rose diving over people and stuff, uh,
Joe Morgan and then doing the impression of his elbow. Uh.
(35:29):
If it was any other organization, like you know what,
they should be relocated. This is done now. The owners
and their comments of where else you're gonna go? Uh
doesn't make them sympathetic, unfortunately to most. I liked his
brutal honesty. Hey, you're stuck with us, and that's the
way it is. You know. It's like the Reds are
kind of like what I say, like a sports stonehenge, right,
(35:51):
like there their memories of of better days gone by,
whether it's Penn State football, Indiana basketball. It's kind of
the The Heads were such a good team, heritage team
in Major League Baseball, and now it's just it's embarrassing.
I mean, this team is I mean, you're talking about
team that's a hundred and thirty years old in the
National League and it's this bad. I need some more
George Foster cards now that at two home runs in
(36:14):
seventy George, Yeah, I gotta go see if I can
find any game or game used or autographs of him.
Coming up next here on Fox Sports Radio, what Star
Wars can learn from the NBA. This is Fox. I'm
