Oh, this is gonna be every day? Welcome back, Oh, welcome inside. Okay, so you're playing little Globetrotter music for for the Mets. Okay, that's the wrong sport. That's the wrong sport.

Direct dot com will help you get there an unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tirect dot com is the way tire buying should be. Yeah. No, there was not a lot yesterday that I was aware of in the world of sport. I'll tell you what. Midway of the show Monday Night, I was in a bit of a fever haze, like there's there's parts of Monday Night that are a little hazy show wise, I was like, whoa this is?
I think he wrote that down right?
Crossing was like two of our two snell gave up the man.
Yeah that's uh yeah, I was. I was. It was a It was a good like twelve or fourteen hours, like I'm in trouble here.
Uh yeah, you go see a doctor. No, No, I didn't have wall check you out. I mean, what's going on on.
Yeah, my dad. My dad would show some things and just standing around and go, I don't know what to do here. No, it was just I brought a cold back from from the you know, my holiday last week and Monday, I'm like, okay, great, I'm feeling okay, feeling okay, And then like midway through the show, I was like, oh wow, I'm really hot. I am burning up, and yeah, a lot of the show was hazy, so we're okay. Then I think we're all.
Right, all right, hazy shit spring.
Yes, yesterday had no voice. You know, you ate a lot of soup, and now I'm ready to go back tonight.
Soup good.
More ready tonight than Blake Snell was, that's for sure, sharp as attack already sharp.
Uh So yeah, Onto Tawny Bobblehead MVP Bobblehead Day, where despite the fact that every Dodger fan who attended tonight's game was getting a bobblehead, there was still a line that was a half mile long at one o'clock in the afternoon outside Dodgers Stay.
But you know what, there there was a divide in terms of information because there was the the rumbling out there that there was only going to be forty thousand of them, So you wanted to tree you got.
But then they they made sure everybody no, no, it did could Yeah, but by then you already lined up. But for everybody coming in. Yeah, but by then I could leave. Oh it's only one thirty. I'm gonna leave it here.
Are you gonna go mc donald's.
Yeah, I'll go to McDonald's and come back.
I mean, you could have gone and hung out at Duly's, plays over at the shortstop for a bit, half a couple of quick ones and.
A pretty sure the one off Vince Scully Wade doesn't have a ballpitch, is.
That's all right? I would I would just order off the secret McDonald's menu as long as it's still there now, and I would have lived. Okay, I could come back because I'm getting a bobblehead. I'm okay, I'm getting up. I know I'm getting a bobble hit.
They got the former John Berger?
Did they have any of the gold ones this time around? And that and any of the chase?
But do it? I want to start a rumor, which is not something you should do on sports talk, But I want to stay pad. I want to start a rumor that like there were like a hundred special torpedo bat o tawny bobble heads that were given away today. Like, oh, if you got one of the the special old tawny ones with that, and what you could do is, now, if you really wanted to, if you really wanted to do it, is you would like shave off the top of the bat and make it look like a torpedo bat. No, here's the MVP torpedo bot. Oh my god, I'm selling it on the eBay for ten thousand dollars and someone would buy it.
What is really cool is yesterday you could have done that.
Yeah, well yesterday. If I really did it and sold it, I couldn't tell the next day, Oh hey that ten grand you sent me April fool not wow.
You would have had to start tinkering with a bobble head and getting out into you know, your little work room right working on the workbench and shaving off parts of a bat that's part of a tawny bbblehead, fabricating things on your three D printer.
I would have to call it. Hey, how do I get out of this? I'm in trouble here. I'm like the most hated man. I gotta call Zach Hampell. He was the only guy less hated than I was. Well, how do I get out of something like that?
It's all really just a question of how many of those you would have sold, because and depending on how you would have termed it. Because where you're having in the trading card world right now, guys are getting really good and printers are getting better, so you're getting people making custom cards. Here's the card that never was right, So here's from this guy's rookie year. Well, they didn't actually make a card of him until three years later. Or here's a movie from nineteen eighty five. Let's make a nineteen eighty five card. People that are unaware of the marketplace like, oh, that's a really cool rookie.
Card of insert movie star here.
It's like, it's not a real card except that, you know, some artists put it together, So it's.
Not worth a thousand dollars you're spending.
But it is because it's an art card and it's a custom card as opposed to an actual official nineteen eighty five tops card. You know, a weird spot there.
It's worth it because that's what someone paid for it. Wait, wait wait, no, no, no, no, that's what it's worth.
But it's it's the question of the legitimacy of you know, was it an actual issued carter? Is an art card and if you put the details out and they don't choose to read, then you can go fight in court.
Yeah no, see, I'm just thinking about the missed opportunities I missed out on with the Otani bobble I would have had to get the real bobble heads, and then I would have had to shave the bats, shave the tops of the bats off a little bit, and then sell them and do it all.
But if you bought a hundred of them and then deciding to do that, now they're you know on Art by Smith so logo, and you know, you pull out a can of spray paint, you start doing all pollock on the box and stuff, and suddenly you've got a limited edition thing and you're not.
Lyned anybody in Vietnam though, So that's a seventy tiff right there.
Oh oh yeah, nothing, yeah, oh well they would have come over before today.
No, that's what it means there.
I mean, look, the ones for September are somewhere on the grounds yeah, just an or in a ship.
They're in the back of the truck parked outside your house.
Yeah yeah, yeah. If if it's in the country before today, it's absolutely fine. That was yesterday, maybe not so much today.
It's official, right.
Uh So while we have that, while we're took, you know, there is more to talk about with the U with the Otani bobblehead. We are now three goals away from absolute history in the NHL tonight televised on TNT True TV. The game was on like four channels because you never know when Alex Ovenchen can get a hat trick. He is now three goals away from breaking the all time record Wayne Gretzky's all time record of eight ninety four. After this goal in a five to one blowout lost tonight to the Carolina Hurricanes thirty five seconds to go on the periods, number eight D.
Two cans a show and his family is white is getting tapped up by Carrie Petman.
Everybody's Putin's out shirtless on a horse behind him riding around.
Oh, it's great, that's the bobblehead you've been waiting on that kin will be honest, you know, behind him, No, that would.
Be that would be what you Okay, wait a minute, So that's one bobblehead. Is Ovechkin with his with his hands raised after the goal and putin on a horse. Yeah, that's one bobblehead, one bobble.
Head together, kind of like when Wayne Boggs was getting ridden around by the by the police officer after the Yankees won the World Series.
Now, look, the greatest record in hockey is about to be broken. Right, this transcend sports. It's the greatest record this sport has. And and even if people who aren't hockey fans know about Wayne Gretzky and his goal record of eight ninety five, and here comes Alex Ovechkin, who's been an NHL superstar. You know, he's thirty nine years old. Now he's won a Cup, he's one Hart Trophies, he's been first team All NHL. Look, the guy's gonna wind up having the record for most goals in NHL history. And it's gonna happen sometime the next couple of games. He can smell it. He's been on kind of a goal every other game pace this season, and now he's a little bit ahead of it. So he needs three and he still has enough games to do it again. I want to say, in a blowout loss to the Carolina Hurricane tonight, who just showed showed the Capitals who was boss in this big showdown. I just want to say that. But still he is now three goals away. And honestly, how I feel about this, I just I feel just met. I'm not upset about it. I'm not you know, Oh, Gretzky's gonna have his record broken, and Ovechkin's not the player Gretzky was, which nobody is. Look, you cannot count any of Wayne Gretzky's goals count zero goals. He still has more points than anybody he's ever played the game. I just think about that for a second. Take away all of his goal the goal scoring leader. Take away all his goals, and he still has more points than anybody who's ever played the game. So I don't feel that way. I don't feel that he's not worthy because Ovechkin's a terrific goal scorer. Look go look back and see what Gretzky's goal scoring prowess was like once he hit thirty years old. Like, Gretzky didn't score many goals. I don't think he scored two hundred goals from the time he was thirty one till he retired. And Ovechkin's up up at at like three seventy, Like he scored like three hundred and seventy goals since he's turned thirty. Right, he's gonna he's gonna pass this record, He's gonna own it.
Yeah, depending on what for and Smith that would ask, and they'd ask a lot of questions about you.
Yeah, it's not much.
Oh, it's maybe that's what it is. It's a beat. It's beat soup every day. It's every single to I have beat soup every morning.
And blood stuff with and and away we go.
But it it's because Ovechkin's a great player, right watching his whole career is a phenomenal goal scoreres phenomenal player. I love hockey. I just I feel like, Okay, it's cool he's breaking it. But I'm not filled with the normal emotion I would be of so and so about to break a record, about to break one of the all time records, not just a record, but the biggest hockey record there is, you know, And and I don't know, maybe I'll feel differently as it as it gets right upon us, because now clearly he could do it in any game a hat trick. He's probably not gonna get a hat trick, but three goals away and and there's still more than enough time for him to do it. He's probably gonna get it sometime in the next maybe by this weekend, all right. Like again, he still has time. He's got like six or seven games left. But when he passes, I don't know how I'm gonna feel, but I'm not gonna feel upset. I'm not gonna feel crazy. I'm not gonna feel through the moon. I don't know what it is.
And it's not anything the fact that he's rushing or he'sist.
Now he's been a big superstar throughout his entire career. He's done, he's validated everything right well, like I said, the art Ross trophies and the MVP and the Stanley Cup that he's won in the first team, all all NHL. Like he's done everything. He's done. Everything you want to do is be the captain. His teammates love him. I don't know why it's did. I always want Gretzky to have the record, sure, but in my life I know that even the greatest of great records are gonna be broken. But I don't mean it. I just I don't have a feel other than, oh, here's a record that's gonna be broken. We're gonna cover it, we're gonna talk about it like Capitols fans are excited. A lot of NHL fans are excited. A lot of NHL fans are not because they want Gretzky to have the record because he's Wayne bleeping Gretzky, and I understand that, but I'm just kinda it's weird. I want to give you a hot take. I want to give you a big hey this this He's not worthy all of courd he's worthy. He's a better goal scorer than Gretzky ever was. But in the end, I'm kind of like, yeah, it's just gonna happen. And it's weird that I feel that way. And I've been kind of asking myself that question the last couple of days and I just can't come up with an answer. I just like, Okay, I feel like, okay, am I overall when it comes to records not what it was when I was younger? Do I not feel the same way about records that could be it? You know? I mean I was excited the fifty to fifty with O TODDI we'd never seen that before, and all these different things. But you know, I don't know. Maybe that's the case of it. It's a weird thing, and I keep thinking about it. I don't have the answer.
I hope the Russians love their children too. Is that where you're going? You're going full staying while we're out?
Yeah, yeah, let's go back to the Cold War nineteen eighty three. Omuch, I see.
Film and television references.
Look, I think some of it we can tie directly to our watching of the NBA right now and some of the Jokic and that whole face of the NBA thing. Right we're watching Oklahoma City early on against Detroit right now and Shae Gilgers Alexander he's a Canadian, but he's still not an American, So can he be the face of the NBA? And look, we could do that that topic, like so many shows before us.
For hours on end were not We're not gone.
But that's part of it is the you know, who's the guy that you elevate and for Gretzky, again not American, but certainly lives down the Street. But it's just the idea that that is the face of a game that is decades talk about games changing and rules of engagement changing, and how we look at it through the prism of all right, well, the game's not the same as it was then, So when records fall, we don't hold them to the same level. Like the home runs and like Otani was just fifty to fifty is just something completely nobody's expecting to come out of left field.
Right.
This isn't just hey, he went and hit seventy four home runs with his torpedo bat or not, right, No matter what the case was, it's not a record that we held sacred. And even then during the steroid human growth hormone whatever guys were injecting and putting on their bodies, you know, a lot of it was all right, I'm just sit in Marvel with the hand eye coordination and how far the ball's flying, because clearly everybody around Major League Baseball didn't give the damn until suddenly they did when Congress came a knocking as a whole thing into pharmaceuticals. But I don't think we hold records the same way. And for Gretzky, you can always just say, well, he was a better score overall, and you point to all the assists and everything else, and maybe there's a tinge of the Hey it's the Russian guy, the foreign born guy. Maybe that's sitting there. And I don't, I just don't think that we hold records quite the same way. Right, Look at the you're the thunder are having other than bj Armstrong and some of the guys that were on those Bulls squads and maybe a couple of guys piping up from Golden State. Is anybody really watching that? No, they're talking about how the game's changed and teams quit and everything else. So the same thing applies here is like is the game different? Is it easier to score than it used to be? And I guess we could start doing the metrics from there.
Yeah, I mean I wish I could. I had a better answer, you know, I wish I had a better answer. I just I just don't. I'm like, Okay, it's gonna happen and all right, and really I don't know, I don't know why. Like I said, I've been asking myself that question last couple days, going about to see this record that it's been hell I remember watching Gretzky set the record. It was incredible and I just feel Okay, I don't it's again really really weird.
Sorry, buddy, that's right.

Uh.
You know last night, I'm sure you guys talked about a little bit last night Val Kilmer dying at the age of sixty five, and it was, you know, a bit of a shock. We had known he was in ill health for a long time and you know, all the stuff we talk about top Gun here on the show and Iceman was just just just really just just really whacked me in the face. And wow, Val Kilmer's gone, and just an incredible career that he had and so many, you know, so many incredible roles, and you know, you think your timeline would be filled with top Gun stuff most of the day tape. Instead it was all Tombstone and it was real genius. How secret Wyatt? How about that? What do you think wyat quyat? Why you say with Wyatt with an h there and.
The uh And it was like.
I'm in my prime And it was just it was really fun to see to see the rest of his career being being celebrated like that, because I thought people just get a default the top and me that's what I do. Romance. Oh yeah, Well, anyway, he was Elvis and true glory Elvis.
Yeah, the greatest one of all guys.
What's that he oh yeah, oh my god. He talked He talked about heat like it was the greatest He talked about the filming heat like it was the greatest experience of his life. You know that. I can say Alan Bob for the rest of my life now because I know them and that and and being on camera with them was just something else. And it was an incredible experience. Like his stuff, the respect he had for the craft of acting and the and the career he had, like it really was incredible. I mean, action, star hero, you know, did comedy, did adventure. You know, you think about all this stuff. Valkilmer didn't Okay, yeah, he didn't do much in the last few years. But what he did from the mid eighties all the way to like the mid two thousands and twenty ten, like he crammed so much, so many great roles into into that span. I mean, that's that's like, that's just that's just really incredible, you know. And and he he he was never a Hey, I'm the one hundred percent leading man, but he was always the co leading man or the or part of the ensemble, and he could do so many different things, Like he wasn't just tight cast as one thing, Like he really did have some career.
Val Kilmrisly was something curious and seeing like some of the old interviews with co stars that were pulled up and dredged out. It was like, you know, reports of him being difficult on set and whatever. I was like, No, he wasn't a diva. He was just a guy that was making sure we all got it right. And so he was a pain in the ass that way. And so there was a lot of celebration in that regard, just going all the way back to the earliest films that he was in. Hell, I mean, start off with Top Secret and then work from there. But if you haven't seen it, it's available on Prime the Vow documentary that they did about his art, you know.
His health, his life and all of that. It's really worth a look.
See is that the I'm Your Huckleberry? Is that one I'm Your Huckleberry?
Well it gets in that yeah, I mean it's just called val.
It's a bit self indulgent at points, but you get through it of, Oh, there's a guy kind of looking back, because, let's face it, he went through some serious health stuff for a long time, throat cancer and you know, talked about it a little bit last night.
My dad's gone through a couple of bouts of that.
He's he's alive and well down in Clearwater, Florida and reaking havoc down there. But you know, for the past thirty years he's a guy that's you know, had the trake and had to talk with the buzzer and so for Val Kilmer had to do some of that, had to learn, you know, the new way of speaking and become comfortable in his own skin, going out and being in public and all of those kind of things. And the documentary gives you some of that as well as just what a prolific artist he was, you know in his downtime and away from screen and film projects. But you know, just all the the old co stars coming out with their statements of what he meant to them as you know, a fellow actor, or they're awe of how he operated on a set. You know, we all aspire to have that one person say that about this when we're gone. He had he had them lining up to pay tribute.
Yeah, you know. And I think that's part of why he and Tom Cruise were such good friends, because Tom Cruise always cares so much about movies, like that's his love, Like that's like yeah, yeah. And I think that's why he and Val Kilmer got along so well, because the Val Kilmer was kind of the same way. And you know, all the last day I've been thinking about with Val kilmore since this news broke late last night, is I've been thinking about Top Gun Maverick because I remember watching and look, I don't know that I've seen a movie in the last ten years that's come out in the last ten years more than I've seen Top Gun Maverick, right cause you know my love of Top Gun and I couldn't wait for this. We all went to see it together, yea, right and a tight shirt stayed awake through the whole movie. And and I kept thinking about because that's his last on screen roll, right, was when when he had when he was in his as as iceman. And I remember watching it and seeing it and just being blown away by it, going, oh, this is not really a movie anymore, Like I like, like when you know it's coming like Tom Cruise goes to his house and his wife says, he's upstairs. Oh my god, he's We're gonna see Val Kilmer. They're gonna have a scene together. This is gonna be unbelievable. And it was. And you knew he couldn't speak and he's still They wrote it into the into the plot line that he was you knew he was sick, and it was just so I remember watching it my eyes wide open, going, this is more than just a movie scene, and this is an incredible back and forth between the two of them, and both of them still you could see the chemistry that they had, you know, back in nineteen eighty five and nineteen eighty six with top Gun, and I've just been thinking about that moment, going that for that to be his last moment on film, that really is something to look back and go that entire career. And still you could hear a pin drop in the movie theater when you knew that scene was coming up, like He's going to ICE's house to talk to him about what to do. And really, I mean watching that over and over again, I went back and watch it again today and I just said, I still can't believe this was in the movie, that this was still part such a powerful few minutes and he could only work a few minutes. He was only in it for a little bit. But it didn't matter. You know, you can still see he was still iceman. He was still you know, still had the big smile and still had the charisma, and him and Tom Cruise chopping up, and Tom Cruise really took a step back in that scene, letting Ice, letting him have the scenery to chew it a little bit. I really like that of his entire career. I spent more time thinking about that moment from that movie today than anything else.
The Navy needs Maverick, The kid needs Maverick.
That's why I fought for you. That's why you're still here. Oh man, I got goosebumps just hearing that again. I mean it was I don't know how as sick as he was doing that, he's able to pull that off. I mean, really that again. I'm gonna go back and think about that more than think about anything else that he's done in his career.
Yeah, I mean, just the power that movies has over us. I mean, it's the stump speech that Cruise has been making for thirty years. But you know those moments that surprised you, Right, even if you've went into the movie and you knew that Val Kilmer was part of it, it's still you know, I had that lump in the throat kind of thing because you knew you weren't getting many more of those, uh, and what it took to get that back on the silver screen. And look what Maverick meant to an industry overall. But you know, as we we think about Val Kilmer and all those roles, and he was all as serious as an actor as he was, right, and you talk about Heat and Tombstone and top Gun and all this. He was one of the great smart asses on tea, on film and television that we've ever seen. I heard he was hilar too, right, Yeah, just snarky as can be. So yeah, it's cool stuff, Jason.
Yeah, what do you got Frostburg in the movie Heat?
Apparently his his handling of like you know that the fight scene with the l A p D at the end.
Oh yeah, when he could he was reloading so fast. Yeah yeah, yeah.
It is a true story though.
Yeah. Yeah.
Apparently like acting school where you hold the weapon, they teach the way he had, he held the gun. He did it so well. Apparently they show you you like what he was doing?
Yeah, no, And I read that it's they actually teach recruits in the LAPD not not like an acting class. It's like this is this is how you reload this weapon so fast? But he's an actor. Yeah, watch how he does it. He does it better than anybody I've ever seen.
It's truly unremarkable, remarkable. What I mean, you go back and watch that scene. It's it's it's insane masterpiece.
Yeah, I'll tell you it goes to the darkness.
Another one that we hadn't mentioned, but talk about setting a scene him and Douglas as well.
Good stuff, so deep, deep.
Reservoir of films and rabbit holes for folks to explore.
I mean to watch those scenes again. An incredible, incredible career Val Kilmer. We got more coming up in ninety seconds, but first, let's find out what's trending in the wide world of sports. From someone who decided I'm going to bring in my show Heyo Tani MVP Bobblehead and put it on social media for everyone to see. It's Manzy Bolagos.
That is true. I came from work to this work. You wanted me to even in the car.
Wait, how did you get a bobblehead before fans did?
No?
I did.
The fans were already in.
I don't know about that, but that's fat.
You're just making stuff up now.
No no, no, no, no no.
And the guests were in by forty five.
The gate's early to forty five. And so when I.
Walked out at three point fifteen, I was able to grab one.
Well, i'll tell you one thing. You walked in with that tonight, Frostburg is going to walk out with it.
Yeah, it's going to be super cute when he has a broken leg.
It's going to be super cute.
No, no, no, Frostburg broken leg, and I will have my bobblehead and I will leave tonight.
It's going to be real cute when you guys have bought that picture.
Wow.
Oh yeah, yeah, I'll put the bobblehead on his broken leg.
That'll be the picture I take.
And then like DMC would be, would be would be Radio Optagon, and it would be pictures of Moncey and Frostburg, you know, radio pup with broken leg for trying to.
Take Bobby ahead exactly I mean, listen, it rights itself.
I mean right, first one probably handed out today. Correct this one?
No?
No much fit that thing's worth when I take it.
It's taking anything. That's what's so funny. It's so funny.
Well, we'll tag it in the eBay listing from the personal collection of one monsign.
I will wave to you from my mansion.
All right, guys, we're gonna start in baseball because there's one game left and it's the Dodgers game Braves looking for their first win of this season.
Believe it or not, they are up five to three.
It's the top of the seventh inning in La Anthony Won't be hit a three run homer in the ninth inning, but it wasn't enough for the Yankees. Diamondbacks still edged them four to three. All Star Second Basement for Arizona, Kettle Marta did agree to a six year, one hundred and sixteen million dollar extension. Phillies pitcher Zach Wheeler seven innings pitch, three hits, one run, and ten strikeouts as the Phillies outscored the Rockies five to one.
In the NBA.

They topped the Knicks one twenty four to one oh five. Caves were down by fifteen at one point. New York falls to zero to six on the season against the top two teams in the East, Cleveland and Boston. The Wizards had a one sixteen to one to eleven win over the Kings. Sacramento has lost seven out of their last eight games, and they're trying to get in that play in spot. The Heat snapped the Celtics nine game winning streak. They came out on top one twenty four to one oh three, and the Rockets crushed the Jazz one forty three to one oh five, clinching a playoff spot for the first time since twenty nineteen. Twenty twenty and Dylan Brooks did get a technical foul for kicking callin Sexton, you know, his little kicks that he likes to do. His sixteenth ten of the season could lead to a one game suspension if it upholds, and it probably will, because he definitely did a little kicky flip like he likes to do.
The little kicks. That's what they called the dance. A lane dude on side felt Yes.
Yes, did you see it, because it's like a little yeah, you know what I'm talking he does, That's what he does.
That's what he does, so it'll probably be at okay, back to you.
Guys, HEYI can buy one of those bobbleheads for one hundred and fifty. They're going between one hundred and forty five and one hundred and eighty.
Yeah, but that's not the first one handed out.
No, that's right. If we get off that game, that truly the first.
From the it's not the first one.
He broke the seal for me, not all you guys.
We can get Manci's for free. What are you talking about? What's not making it past all of us to get out and forget now?
You leave now, you guys can do your ownscalated quickly.
Listen, here's what's going to happen is is one of us is going to have to talk to you about something very important. Sure, and and then we'll make something up. Sure, and then somebody else is going to walk out with the bobblehead. Yeah, it's that works.
That's real, real cute.
Again, that's how it goes.
About three lens today, I thought it.
Was gonna be one leg and I was breaking three.
She's gonna have it on a bag like like Luke carrying Yoda in uh Empire strikes back.
I got too much craft. I don't need another bobblehead.
Yeah, but not that, not if I make it into a torpedo bobblehead. But they sell it for ten grand more.
Yes, if we're able to figure that out and exploit the marketplace.
I'm in okay telling you make it a torpedo bobblehead. Manzi right here, because Manzi works for the Dodgers. Mozzi. You've got those those big torpedo bobblehead ones too, right, weren't there one hundred of them just going out to everybody?
So actually that you say that they dropped off our box, like our they drop off the boxes for the employees in each department, and we were like, is there anything special on these?
And the guy that dropped them off was.
Like, yes, but we don't know what it is because you know how another ones it was like a great jersey that you were like on the lookout for.
Oh yeah yeah yeah.
So he says that there is something special, but we haven't figured it out, and that they purposely like didn't tell anybody.
And I've tried to look online and nobody has posted. I haven't heard anything.
But when they dropped off the boxes, they were like, there's there are some quote unquote special ones, but we don't know what they are.
We'll be on the lookout. We will be on the lookout there.
See that's how you push the torpedo bobblehead narrow. That's how I pushed that right there. Yeah, one hundred percent. Yes, yeah, Exit out a bout of Fresca Exit Swollen Dome. The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon Live from the ti raq dot Com Studios. Uh yeah, so uh it'll be good because we'll be leaving with the uh with the Bobblehead tonight, so I'll be good. Well, we'll split it. It's fun.

Remember it's all ties together because this was part of the real Genius soundtracks.
Both.
Ah, you are correct, You are correct with that. Okay, I'll allow this song tonight, and I mean allow it in my head. I won't get mad at it. I'll allow this song tonight. Uh. Big stuff out of the NBA today and no, not the Knicks blowing a big lead against the Cavaliers and losing.
Oh cares nick job?
Yeah?
Well, look, it was fun when the Knicks were winning by by thirteen in the first half, when they were shooting seventy percent from the floor. But no, they're not going to keep that up. No, no, no, not gonna have h again. What what do I keep saying? The level of the level of talent that the Cavaliers, Celtics and Thunder have way better than everybody else. Still still way.
Better Cavaliers, Joe, Because we talked a lot about Cleveland yesterday. With the changing of the rule books from the NFL. So now Otto Graham is tied with Tom Brady as the greatest quarterback of all time.
Go cat you that go to pants on.
Quick? What's his name spell backwards? Quick? Quick?
Well the Orange.
So this big story today out of the NBA that I just look at it and I shake my head and go, this is the guy that just doesn't get it right. So the league is going to look into Jahn Morant and the finger guns that he gave towards the Warriors bench late in their victory last night. It was a back and forth with Buddy Heal. They're going to look at his gesture as well, that happened before Moran's finger gun motions. Member of the league, both the NFL the NBA very cognizant. If we don't want to celebrate guns, we don't want this. We don't want this in the game. Now you look at this and go, Okay, here's the thing. But you know, is it finger guns? How big a deal is it is? It is the league going overboard? Are they not? But I keep coming back to this. The one guy in the league, the one guy who can't really be seen doing the finger guns, is John Morant. He's the one guy because he's gotten suspended twice for brandishing guns on the internet. All right. He had two suspensions from the NBA because he brandished a firearm on social media. I like the word. We always say brand brand Nothing else gets brandished except for firearms. We're brandishing them. Two suspensions, right, first one in March of twenty twenty three, the next one the first twenty five games of the following year. He's been in all kinds of trouble with guns. There was the report of the pickup game with the teenager, and the teenager just said he was he was attacked and the gun was involved. And this is just I look at this and I go, I don't think he's ever gonna get it. And I wonder how much longer John Moran's gonna be in the league, because he knows you can't do something like this. He knows you can't, and he still does it. It's like if you told John Morant. Okay, dude, I got a million dollars for you. What do I have to do? You have to go with this room for ten minutes? Okay, what's in the room. Here's a room. It's like a mini Davidbusters. It's a big man cave. It's got a television. It's a four K TV with any show you want on there. It's got video games with anything you want to play, the most update video games. But it's also got everything else you would want. It's got old school video games, it's got foosball, it's got whatever else you want. All this room is just a complete guy room. So what do I have to do? All you have to do is be in this room for ten minutes and not play foosball. That's what I gotta do. Yes, just be in the room for ten minutes and not play foosball anything else. Like, Yeah, all stuff on TV, the recliners, the chairs here, they're all self massaged chairs. All they're fantastic. Man, It's anything you want, Joe, ten minutes in the room, Okay, great, yep, that's all you have. Ten minutes, don't play foosball, and ten minutes I come in. If you're not playing foosball, I got a million dollars for you. Okay, great, you leave the room and you come back in ten minutes later. And not only is job Moran playing foosball, they've moved all the furniture out to make rooms so we could play. He's got people in there with him playing foosball so they can have a game. And he asked you, hey, can you grab them? We lost a couple of balls when they shot out of the out of the game. They're they're they're they're over there behind under the TV. Can you grab them for me? That's jobareant.
But I already had those defense put together.
I thought about this on the overnight because we did this live as it was happening.
Torres in for you last night.
He's off to San Antonio for the Final four, and it was something we we watched transpire and talking with Frostburg about like what the hell and like immediately right we talked about it from the pragmatic here we are all the suspension, all the stuff you laid out, here's my defense.
If I'm Jah Moran.
I am celebrating the re release and tour that Kevin Smith is doing for Dogma, and I'm emulating the Buddy christ That's all I was doing, showing love to Buddy Healed.
How about that.
It's a similar thing, right if you look at him right, right perspective, it's the same hand gesture he is.
Yes, he's bring you're Dogma back. He's trying to make Dogma happen. Yeah, I've always enjoyed that one. Trying to make it happen. Yeah, if you hadn't make it happen in twenty five years, you're not gonna make it.
Well, it's a nice cult classic.
Unfortunately, you know, with all the Weinstein stuff or whatever, it kind of fell into this weird space where it wasn't available. So bootleg copies and old copies of the DVDs are really worth a lot of money. But now there's a new world of rights holding that can be had and Kevin Smith can go profit again.
Okay, I'll go this for you. How about this, because here's while I'll win, I will allow you to have that happen. I will allow you to make that a thing and give its excuse as long as Adam Silver knows what dogma is.
Okay, good, so you don't wait because he starts sending emails about dogma cheers whatever.
What the commissioner's address is right now.
There is no way to send you a day to make sure I get my point across there in this blank and stuff.
No way we got big stuff out of the NFL. Coming up next, Jason and Mike. This is Fox Sports Radio.

Well, before we get to the latest news in the NFL, the Dodgers may never lose again. Down five to three, they tie the game in the eighth inning at five apiece. This is on Sho Hao Tani MVP Bobblehead Night, so it was only fitting that with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, Shoeo Tani came to bat, the game still tied at five, and then Sho Hao Tani sent everybody home.
Fly a center field Harris's back hoo Tony.
There it is on Dodgers TV. Joe Davis. The Dodgers may never lose again. They might go I said one fifteen over under now the other night for wins. Maybe up one twenty five now maybe. I don't know.
The quarterly sales for Panda Express are going to be through the roof though, because they've got like a meal deal every time the Dodgers win. So it's standing room only in those places around lunchtime.
Well, and I'll tell you this, Mancia Bolango's brought in her O Tawni bobblehead that she got at the game today. Now she's really not leaving with it. Frostburg's so stealing that front. He may not even steal. He may just walk in and just take it.
That must be what I've been playing the song Sabotage on my phone for the last hour and a half waiting for something on it to happen up around here. By the way, we also did figure out the variation a little bit of sleuthing along the way, so we'll talk about that a little later.
Wo man uh So only apropos that we talked to a big Dodger fan right now is a break down the NFL. He is a longtime NFL insider with thirty thirteen. He is a Pro Football Hall of Very Good voter. He is on Twitter at Jason Cole. He is a proud Stanford alum. He joins us now on the show What's Happened to j Cole?
I just want to hear show Hayes walk off fly.
On a center field.
Harris is back foot time.
We're never losing.
He just called them fanos.
We're never We're never losing ever again. It's just so great, isn't it. Isn't it just the greatest thing ever?
One hundred and sixty two and oh, let's get.
Ready, what do we have to do for the playoffs? Or get three three, three five whatever?
Whatever?
That three five four whatever? Three four four?
Right?
So one, one, three and O. Just take it all the way through.
I think the Dodgers magic number now is at seven. I think they can actually clinch a playoff spot by next Saturday.
It's almost it's like it's almost like the NFL. So I think they clinched. They closed the playoff spot as soon as the sun sazaki and spent that night. So yeah, yeah, this is not exactly fair, but that's cool. I'm totally cool with it. By the way, Sheriff Woody, I'm speaking of Sheriff Woody. My favorite qord of the week this is is Woody Johnson's throwing out the expression totally bogus because I just think he should be part of Bill and Ted's like Bill and Ted three or Bill and Ted four whatever whatever. The next iteration of the Bill and Ted bogus adventures are like, he should be on that as a star and that is a representation of what the Jets are all about.
I think those guys are hitting the stage together to do Waiting for.
GOODO, waiting for Good.
Tell, I'm not even kidding Giano Reeves and Alex Winter.
I'm waiting for.
Good like they're going from Bill and Ted's excellentity.
Yeah this fall, Oh my god.
Yeah you don't see it on Broadway? There you go.
How do you like that?
That's a juxtaposition if I've ever heard one. But one that is not a juxtaposition is the idea of Woody Johnson being part of Billing Dead's Xcellent Adventure saying totally bogus, dude, I don't know where that came from. I don't even know what they're saying. Why don't they just talk to me? Because I'm the one who like makes this better?
All right?
I mean that you're.
Going, I think you're going a little far. But if I hear Woody Johnson say the words, so Crates, I'm coming to your side, ah du so, Craig, let me ask you this what happens? What happens first, the Dodgers losing, the Dodgers lose a game, or Aaron Rodgers sides with the Steelers.
What happens first, Calm, I'm betting on which one happens.
First, Which what happened to Dodgers lose a game or Aaron Rodgers signed to the Steelers.
That's right. I mean Aaron might not sign till till till September.
So is he like, is he you want to ruling out hope for the for the Vikings? Like does he really want to go to the Vikings that bad? He really thinks that's going to happen?
No, I mean I don't know. I mean, look, he's a weird dude. I mean he could be on Billin Ted's Excellent Adventure to doing Hiawatska. I mean, like just it's all there, man, I mean I don't know what to tell you. Like Aaron thinks like whatever people say he should do, like commit sign early, show that you want to be part of it. He automatically says, no, I'm not going to do that. You know we should have cobing vaccines. No, I studied it. Uh you know, I you know he doesn't agree with anything. You know, it doesn't matter what it is. It can be a serious subject, it can be in a not serious subject. But he will go camera culture every single time because it's just who he wants to be. And so when you have that, it's like that doesn't work in football. And so this is why I think, for all his greatness, like his legacy, is one of why wasn't there more winning? And part of it is on him. I mean a big part of it is on him, because at a certain point, you've got to want to play football and say I want to lead this team. I am here to be this leader. And that's not you know, I'm not to say that he wasn't a good guy. There are plenty of guys on the Jets will tell you he you know, hung out with him, he worked at it, he tried, but you got to show up for the basics. You got to say I'm all in and he's just not. And this is why I would if I was Steelers, I would do anything in the world to try and do something else at this point, because I'm just like, you know, look, I can't, I can't do this. I can't. I can't have it. So either sign or don't. If you don't, okay, our season is going to suck in that. And but I got to take a stand for what's important to my team and if we have to, what march for arts for two years? Will march for art and you know whatever that is.
So since they table did Jay Cole at all these meetings, should the Eagles just start planning to not have the uh brother le shove in their repertoire for twenty twenty five?
I mean, well, part of me is like I think that they're it's hard to ban this play and pretend that you really love football. Now, I do think that there's a right to ban downfield pushing, Like when if you're not going to enforce hip drop right are you're you know, like you have you have to help the defender, you and you have to protect the defender against offensive guys downfield helping helping ball carriers. It doesn't happen that often, but happens enough that you know, defenders get exposed in that place. You're not going to allow him to hip drop. I just I have a hard time saying, like the probably shove or the twist push or whatever the heck do you want to call this thing is against football, Like this is brute strength stuff. And you happen to have a quarterback who's really good at now part of me says they can do this without the shoves, Like, you know, Jalen is good enough that he's still probably going to make this. I don't know what's their success rate ninety percent of the time. I mean, I still think they're going to be seventy five or eighty percent, and so they should still go for it most of the time. I don't think it's going to really stop them because Jalen's good at it.
But I don't know.
I think that I think that in their heart of hearts, most coaches are looking at the saying this is this is fundamental football, Like if you go back to the roots of what we're supposed to be, this is kind of what it looks like. And to take that out of the game is sort of a dangerous precedent of we're just not going to have any kind of hitting at all along the line of scrimmage, or we're going to be averse to it completely. And I think you're really starting to distort the game. And man, I got way too serious.
That was good. Wow, you did get really serious. You went from what he's round up to we're destorying the history of the game, and guys like Otto Graham, they're not going to recognize this game anymore.
Well, no, I tryed to have a little bit more measure take. I mean.
Again, do you need to hear Toni's home run again? Is how he? Do you hear Todi's home run?
Not not yet? Not yet? But shin getting my skull with my shoe and going, that's my skull. I mean, I don't know if I should be doing that or not. I feel like I should get to represent that. That's probably what Woody is doing right now. Certainly that's what Brick Johnson myself.
Oh my, sweet Brick, Oh my, I think I think I think I think he needs the help run again. Let's play the whole run again for him. Let's play it.
Harris is back?
Where is it?
A h.
What happens?
First? Guys, people getting out of Dodger Stadium tonight are Aaron Rodgers signing with the.
Steel That's a perfect yes, Aaron.
Aaron Rodgers much less likely to sign than Dodgers fans to move before the last out. Traffic got gotta beat the traffic? Uh on the on one O.
What we definitely like when Frank Costanza says that we have to go. We have to beat the traffic when they leave Jerry's sentencing in the final episode of Sidefeld. We have traffic.
Yeah, it's like the progressive it's a progressive commercial. Don't talk about leaving the game before we've gone into the stadium, all.
Right, No more talk about parking. Can we stop talking about.
I'm talking about parking. That's where all the money is. So anyways, Uh, what else we got on football? What else you go? I thought, I thought we you know, the toush push. The overtime rule was kind of tweaking teaking the overtime rule is. It's sort of interesting because and Fourio brought this up on Pro Football Talk, the idea that at a certain point in that you might want to give up a touchdown in order to get possession of the ball to try and win with a touchdown and two pointer. That to me, is really fascinating if you're going to play, if you're only going to play the time bag quarter.
So we're going back, they're having trouble playing it, they're having prospers. He's so excited to keep hitting the button. Just gotta let the button, let it play, justin.
Do know what we're going for about a center field Harris is back time.
There it is once again.
I can't get up. That's what's happening.
He's on Twitter, Jason Cole sixty two, That is at Jason Cole sixty two.
President of the Woody Johnson Stamp.
Yes, we started with what he's round up. We're ending again with hearing o'tadi's home run for the fourth time.
Did they give out Emion oil auto stiff anymore? You know what that is?
Uh? No, I don't know that they did that. I don't know. I don't think they did.
That's a long time do you know what I mean were referring to.
No, but I think it was a long time ago. That's why they don't think they do it anymore. See your rooting and twot and cowboy there you get.
A Union oil in there.
There that's Jason Cole like some some kind of product from the fifties, you know, that would be you know, stapled to the back of the to the to the right field wall, you know, like with hey, pall Mall cigarettes and then this oil or whatever it was.
And uncle had smoked a lot of pall Mall cigarettes in his day.
