This is the best of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon on Fox Sports Radio.

Well, there is having a touchdown get taken off the board because of penalty, and then there's having a touchdown taking off the board because of a penalty because a player didn't report in. The Bears looked like they were gonna have their deficit to the Minnesota Vikings thirteen to nothing. Bears finally a nice little drive going DeAndre Swift in the end zone. However, Bears had an offensive lineman come out and play fullback. One problem. Dan Campbell will tell you you gotta report, you gotta come in, You gotta tell the officials, hey, I'm eligible, And you can see the replay. He just went right into the huddle. I don't know nobody told him what to do. Didn't tell me, Nobody told into the huddle, lined up as a full back. Hey, touchdown Bears, Nope, pulled off the board. The Bears, of course, cannot get in the end zone after that, wind up kicking a field goal. So it could have been Hey, thirteen to seven, Bears are somehow in this game. It is still a ten point lead. Yeah, for the Vikings, swift stopped at the one. On a subsequent run, you had air another air mail from Caleb Williams. He had a couple on that drive of would have could have shoot of balls.

Uh.

And then yeah, once again the offensive line at the goal line. Uh, comes into play. We saw it weeks ago on the infamous Hey, let's give it to a lineman instead of running Roshan Johnson. Well, Johnson's not available for goal line work now, so let's bring a guy in as a blocker. And watched the three man you know, kind of like it's the end of Star Wars as they come into alignment to try to destroy Luke Skywalker and company. Instead. Yeah, here's a penalty. Good job by job by the Bears. I mean it was a good run play, it really was. Is He never even looked at the.

Office and he and he and here for DeAndre Swift, it was air for him. However, However, here's the thing. This game tonight is everything you can complain about the Bears all season in one three hour window. It is Caleb Williams missing open wide receivers. It is the Bears defense not being able to cover anybody for a long time. I can't believe Sam Darnold had any incomplete passes because there was all kinds of separation on every single play. There's ridiculously bad coaching decisions. Let's go forward fourth and one and pitch it to DeAndre Swift.

That didn't work. Okay, let's go for it again on fourth one, give it to DeAndre Swift. That should do it.

With the DeAndre Swift on fourth down plays, let's get them. Let's excize them from the playbook. This is everything with the Bears in one three hour window. And of course, right now, the cherry on top of the Sunday, the touchdown that gets pulled off the board because Lineman failed to report it.

Oh no, all of it's beautiful.

Man.

Defense has done the job as much as you can. It's thirteen points allowed, Stevenson Once upon a time, the guy waving and yelling at the crowd on the Hail Mary play against the Commanders. He's got an interception, so you got that going for you. But otherwise, just another non descript effort. And you know Thomas Brown in his audition, it's a fail at every turn, just like we said it was going to be.

You know, hey, look you got elevated.

Look at it.

He goes up several levels in eighteen days. And what's that done for you? The last two weeks you had fifty seven yards combined in two first halves, fifty seven combined. This week not much better. Caleb Williams thrown for one hundred and twenty two yards. At this point, You're leading receiver is Roma Duneesay, he's got thirty nine yards.

You know it's you know, I look at Caleb Williams and I'm I'm gonna make a a really great cinematic comparison. Oh let's go, dude, you wish you had Caleb there is. We'll get him next year where you. We'll get Caleb Williams next year. It'll be fine. Iber Flus will be our head coach. It'll be great.

You're getting a dude from Floridas date DJ.

No, we're not. No, we're not getting declared. After seven years, he is declared. He's been with four different programs. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's not we're gonna have the Tennessee Canne. It's gonna be Robinson and Vrabel and that's what's gonna actual.

He's kind of got the same career as Juan Soto, right, four teams and seven years, a little.

Bit, a little bit better, uh, a little bit better track record one. So it is just a lot older, better, a little bit better. No, not a lot older on stop man. The oldest he could be is thirty. All right, So here's the stop. Here's the thing. Okay, this is watching Caleb Williams play and you see, I don't know I quite he knows what he sees, what he's looking for downfield yet, but you can see the talent is there, the arm talent is there. Remember uh in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. When Sundance wants to show that he can shoot, and he's trying to show Butch Cassidy and he starts shooting. He's missing everything and he goes, how are you missing everything? And and Sundance goes, can I move? He goes, yeah, sure, And Sundance has a barrel roll and he's hitting and he's knocking everything over, and he's moving, He's doing all kinds of stuff. He's on he's on his butt, he's on his knee, he's hitting everything. Like you watch Caleb Williams and the plays where he is the freest, where he is absolutely at his best. Our plays when he's outside the pocket. When he gets outside the pocket and extends plays, he finds the right receiver. You just watched a great broken play on this last drive where Williams looked like he was out of time and he suddenly comes back across and finds Romo Dunza. I mean, this is what I would I would call everything to get him outside the pocket. I get him outside the pocket as much as possible. I would call plays specifically to break down. Hey listen, hey just let your uh, let the let the blitzer come in. I mean, don't let him come all the way in, but let him come and just give him a little bit. Want to get Kleb outside the pocket, want to get him doing something. He is moving when he is, when he's moving, he makes those throws. It's the throws in the pocket, it's it's the gimmes, it's the hey, this is a five step drop and Keenan Allen's standing five yards past the first down marker and he's white and you miss him by by four yards. You know that those are the throws that I look at. What is he doing? Like the easy, the gimme stuff to get like, that's the stuff he struggles with, the heart of the more difficult stuff, the hey, making the play, extending the play. That's the stuff he's really good at. And that stuff he you know, he's come in.

You can't teach.

I would, I would call all kinds of plays like that when when he can move, he's a different quarterback. But in the pocket, when he's got to make a throw, it's dude, you got to just execute these easy throws sometimes. Well, it was the same thing we watched with justin fields before it improvisation on the move, but also designed rollouts which are not there. And the last drive you talk about the arm strength and the ability to throw that frozen rope to Adnza to get the first down and keep the drive alive. You had another play whereby you know he's going to make the throw down the sideline and he overshoots the receiver by seven yards who had several yards of separation safety had and rotated over. Should have been an easy seven points. Instead it falls harmlessly and it's off the field like he's not even falling incomplete in the field of play. It's it shot well over the receiver and the field and not even giving him a chance to go out and make a play. And that's the thing you're seeing time and time again from this Bears offense, not having Johnson in the run game when you've got let's call it what it is, it's a a offensive line and Ryan Poles. What did he play in the National Football League?

Hang on, Jason Smith? Smith, you know this one. You have to the button.

Yeah, hit a button. No deal, no deal, No, it's so exciting deal or no deal, Antonio benders no deal that you don't need to hit the button.

But I'm so excited. Offensive line?

That is what is he really failed at evaluating Jason again?

Yeah, no deal? Fail what Jason?

Yeah?

Offensive line? You brought a guy in three years, thirty million dollars. You cut him.

What are the reports this guy was no good and didn't fit. You hired Eberfluse, your brain trust everybody, what was happening, And we'd seen this report before, but it's cycled up again this week. The Colts were gonna fire him, that he was gonna get fired, and you hired him as your headman. All of that to say, it's been one disasterraft or another. Now he's an empty suit being puppeteered by Kevin Warren. And you know, Thomas Brown did some great things. You saw some growth in the offense. What's the thing you don't want to do. Hey, let's add a bunch of responsibility right when your offense is starting to at least look like some semblance of a cohesive unit. And what you've seen from the last couple of weeks, whatever the final point totals are or whatever, don't kid yourself. You've watched a train wreck week after week after week, and tonight it's thirteen to three. So somebody will want to hang their hat on and say, oh, look what a great effort this was. No your three hundred and eighty five days removed from your last road win for a reason.

Meanwhile, and you know.

This if you're a fan of one of the two teams, or if you are fantasy playoffs are going on two Monday night games tonight. The Falcons lead the Raiders. Another field goal for the Falcons. It is now twelve to three.

Not really a game.

Can we voltron crap and make it actually one good game?

Is there a way to do that? No, it's I don't wow, I don't know.

Man.

Can we let the Vikings play the Falcons and take the other two home?

Yeah?

Yeah, yeah, that is true. That is true. Yea, at least we didn't get Bears Raiders like that would have been something.

Or you dump out of it and you show Adam Schefter's tweet for three hours.

Ooh boy, yeah, the Adam Schefter, Doug Gottlieb. That is that has been a that has been a thing, that has been a thing tonight. Uh so yeah, man, Like we call.

What it is.

We're reporting news and discussion points along the way.

The Falcons lead the Raiders twelve to three, nine minutes to go in the third quarter.

There was a safety in that game, though, Yeah, yeah, I had a block punt. You had a safety.

Like if you like low scoring games, that you don't really need to pay as much attention to because it's the holidays and other things are going on and you want to be able to check in once in a while. This is your game, Like, this is absolutely the game you want right case, middle of the third quarter. Now, Kirk Cousins seven out of eleven eighty four yards, a touchdown in an interception, Desmond Ritter seven out of eleven for fifty nine yards.

Yay.

That's a lot offense right there, A lot offense, A lot of offense.

How much excitement is being displayed by Shuder Saints raid almost there?

You know, oh most there?

The Falcons trying to stay in the the periphery of the playoff race. And Kirk Cousins clearly is someone who you know, desperately trying to hold on to his job for as long as he can. Yeah, and you know, winning tonight obviously if they if they hold lot to win, it's the races they hold, they'd be seven and seven and they'd be in the thick of it. He'd be in the thick of it. So I feel pretty good by giving by by going here, is that if the Falcons win tonight, Kirk Cousins stays the quarterback the rest of the season because they will be within shouting distance of a playoff spot. It might come down to the last week where they where they're up to there to win to get eliminated, but being seven and seven, they're still in it and they won't make that move to Michael Pennix, uh, probably until next year.

How terrible are they that they actually swept the season series with a pretty good Tampa Bay team. Yeah, and everybody else, Yeah, Tag Bay's beating everybody else playing well. We'll talk about them as we go on final three games for the Falcons at the Giants, at the Commanders, and then home against the upstart Carolina Panthers.

So we'll keep you updated on both of these games. Remember it is the Fantasy football playoffs, and there's still two of two to seventy yes, and it is the playoffs, Fantasy playoffs. That means, that's my putting it out there from what you're gonna keep cursing Caleb Williams and Dj Moore and the Vikings defense and Jacoby Myers who.

Still hasn't caught a pass, still hasn't caught a pass. It's like nineteen points a week. He hasn't caught a pass.

All right, Fantasy are the only playoffs you ever see in your world?

Oh yeah, dude, that's the all got. I haven't seen Jeff sports square point. I haven't seen Jeff. Did I even Did I even know you? The last time that Jets.

Made the playoff? I don't know if I knew any of you to a.

Jet's charge your game with you?

You did?

That was pretty sweet.

I know it wasn't. Gino Smith was the quarterback in that game.

We are all on La Bowl overload right now. Mike Harmon, how much money did you gamble on this game tonight? That's okay? That's like that's like five large, Like you want to say, right, yeah, we want like that's five large.

Well, I mean, look, Gronkowski's involved. UNLV may have four or five players that they started the season with playing. Yeah, you've got the logo on the on the field for cal of Well, we were kind of a pack twelve team. So it's all that kind of excitement. And look, you know me, I celebrate Bowl season unlike anybody else, Like what do you do? Well, I mean there's festivities to all of.

It, Like what do you do, Like do you have stuff during the day you do do you go to like today or something? Yeah, I know today I made a giant pod of chicken soup. Do you have like your own like Hallmark movie thing where it's Bowl season but hey, you're looking for love and you find someone who moves back to town that you either knew or dated in high is a movie I'm watching or that I'm trying to so this is your life like part of the celebrating Bowl season, like like the Hallmark movie, like the whole Chiefs thing, right, Like you celebrate the La Bowl, but here you are, you know, it's it's it's the holidays.

You're alone.

You know, you don't have any family or they don't talk to you, and you know you're you're a chef, and you do the show with me, and you know, of course, like somebody really good looking would play me, like like the Rock would play me or something, and it would be you know, you trying to find you know it, and all of a sudden, hey, you know, a woman that you went to college with moves back to town. You didn't call it bowling for love, Yes, exactly, except because people would think it's about bowling, but instead it's about actually if there's one scene or we go to a local bowl rama.

So and here but no, no, no, but here's the thing. But here here, here's the catch.

Normally in the Hallmark movies, it's like you need to like you get put in charge of a fall festival. You don't know, Oh my god, you know, no one's I've been here, no one's got someone got to ask me to do.

Well.

You saw how they did it the actual Chiefs movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, but I'm saying you watch that something. It's something.

I haven't watched that one yet, but you told me enough for you too.

About But yeah, you have like a fall festival or you have there's something happening in the town and you know one of you, you are, the person you're you're gonna be with, is a veterinarian and they move back to their practice.

Now whatever is. But here's the thing.

You're in LA and you know, maybe you're college Northwestern somehow is in the bowl game and they ask you to plan a whole bunch of alumni stuff. But it's really not your milieu. But it's a big chance for you to do this. But you didn't know. Unbeknownst to you, this woman that you dated in college that was really smart moves to LA and she's the one that you have to work with to help put this ball on. And of course there's you know, there's fireworks in the beginning. Yeah, the breakup is a big thing. Then you get together as the bowl game gets closer, and the final scene is you watching from you know, the LA Bullet's sofi and they make it look like there's a lot of people at the game and everything, and you know, you know, you share a kiss and it's suddenly like, oh hey, now look you found you found purple love.

Uh.

Somewhere in Los Angeles.

I think that's a subset of websites you can get to.

That's a movie. Man, that's a movie, right there. No, that works, that's a movie.

Now, my general hatred of people would keep me from really being.

It's about people falling in love. So you actually have to like at least one more person. If you like one persons and a dog, then you're okay. Then you seem like but you gotta be you gotta like at least one other person. These Hallmark movies about getting together. It's not about hey, I'm alone for Christmas.

No.

One of the things we would have to harvest in This is going back to the fun and exciting adventure that was COVID nineteen when we had the cardboard cutouts of people that were in the stands. So it's about harvesting those and maybe I find a connection that way.

Okay, all right, I think that's good.

Someone decides they want to be front and center, so their hubris is something that is an attractive quality.

Okay, I mean it could be, you know, but you have to like somebody that There's got to be a dog involved, some kind of has to be.

It could be a pet, it could be a ferret. It could be it could be a pigeon, it could be a cat.

It's kind of like when we leave the at night, they're usually a little pack of kaioties. Yeah, trying to get over by the loco garbage band. Maybe usually we've had that a couple of times.

Maybe that's something. Maybe some raccoon.

No, that's a bonding thing for you and her as you bond over, like, Hey, we have to get these animals away from where the players are coming out from.

And that's the whole thing. And they get rid of the coyote, celebrate the trash bands a little bit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and there's what we do that there's a coyote love joke in there somewhere. And then okay, it looks like, you know, Harmon is coyote. Yeah, it really took a deep dark turn right there.

Not quite sure what what kind of internet you're working on or what holiday holiday holiday movies.

I mean, you've been watching the you know, David Harbor.

And a Lifetime movie where things get a little more dark in Lifetime than they do on Hallmark. That's for sure, to keep it light, way more dark.

And then you have the what's that other one, the one that Cameron Cameron.

No, what's your vase? That that was on Full House, Candace Cameron Burr.

Candace Cameron, Yes, that she defected to oh, religious.

Heritage, Heritage movies, Life, Lifelong, LifeLock.

I don't know, LifeLock. That would be something I have fallen and I can't get it. No, I don't know.

It's it's I don't know, but it's one of those things, one of those places. It's not it's like heritage, I forget. But now, hey, speaking of finding and the reason why I brought this.

Up here, finding love, finding opportunities in all the different places you can. Right. Sometimes sometimes love is there when you're least looking for it, right.

Oh and when you're looking for love in all the wrong places. Yeah, no, fine, girls, doesn't uh you know, I think about that scene from the beginning of of uh Love Actually when you gradually we realized love is all around us.

He's doing the you don't want to see what love is?

Go to the heath through the apartment of the Heathrow departure at the airport, and when he grab his character from heretic marriage much or Layer of the White Worm, either one and uh, you know, he does a whole thing about And the funny thing is when we went to London this year, like we actually want I wanted to go buy the Arrival's gated Heathrow because we love it.

Actually, so we walked by there.

Uh, think about this for this moment because the report today like we spent a lot of time on this last night that Kirk Cousins hitting the bench from Michael Pennix Junior, right, And according to reports, Michael Pennix Junior was at a Costco enjoying a hot dog when he got the news that he was going to be the new starting quarterback of the foul Well.

Remember he doesn't have a three hundred million dollar deal yet, No, I mean, and so look, frugality and being smart with your your rookie deal and I'll tell you this and getting into the food court is the.

Way inflation has hit us the last few years. You were a complaining last night you bought me a chicken thigh and it was three ninety nine. I'm like, yes, it is a lot of money for a chicken thigh from Opoyo Loko.

I wasn't really complaining, it was just kind of I hadn't bought the chicken like we hadn't gone there.

I love the chicken.

I love the chicken I do, but I make I make a lot of chicken dishes and and thing just bought that killed.

You to say three ninety nine on a one chicken thigh for me.

Well, because I literally just bought a giant pack of chicken breass from the local market for eleven dollars and that was probably what seven or eight sizable chicken breass versus that mimi thigh that you got that cost me a third of it.

No, hey, you know what's is fine. You enjoyed the hell out of it, So that's all that mattered. The chicken. You were positive and you got good value out of that. So I can't compare. And I gotta say, in the era that we have right now of inflation, the one place where prices have stayed the same is the Costco food court. So you want to go and save money and everything else. Man, He's gonna remember forever. When I found out I was a starting quarterback in the NFL, I was having a hot dog at Costcos. You know how many hot dogs at Costcos I've enjoyed and not had a moment like that, Like that's his Hallmark movie moment of his career. I'll always remember this hot dog. I will always remember this well in the game, the starting quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons, I was having this hot dog because the hot dogs are pretty good. I wish they would put cheese. You can get cheese on them. But yeah, you get the hot dog, you can get onions mustard, you.

Like.

I am there and and look, I go to Costco all the time, and I always get like, I'll either get a hot dog, I'll get a hot dog and a piece of pizza. I mean it's something to go there and say, yeah, I'm gonna have a you know, my wife and I would go say, okay, I'm gonna have two slices of pizza, a hot dog, a salad, and two drinks. That'll be eight dollars and eighty three cents. Yep, here you go, right, frozen drink. Oh yeah, it's fantastic chicken bake.

But being the chicken bake is good too, because that eventually gets you whether you're gonna get that or the double chunk chocolate ship cookie.

Oh no, I always see and all of a sudden you're in the rizzler land.

It's always pizza and and the or and a hot dog or the chicken bake, because the chicken bake is huge now the full.

Pizza is about a good of value as you're gonna find. Yeah, like ten dollars.

Here's here's Mike. I can't eat it right now, but it's a good.

Michael Pennock's Union who is still Oh, by the way, you know, it's take about saving money.

It's not like the guy's making no money. You know, rookie contract number eight over and deals that you've been able to.

Do having a hot dog when you find out this is what day? What day did your life change? I was at Costco having a hot dog, and I knew my life would never be the same.

Now.

It's funny because it coincided with a release today of a pretty uh high end training card product that that people wait on every year. And I watched a guy from our local shop. I want to see what it is. Uh, you know what what kind of the the frequency and the odds are and the first box dude open four packs in boom Panix autograph number forty nine.

Wow, it's almost like it was predestined.

Nice, I dig that. I dig that.

Yeah, now you have that now then now the Costco now is at Costco having a hot dog?

Guys, you have a deal with them.

Now, how long before they do the hot the piece of hot dog insert though in the card?

Mic, Oh, that'd be really good.

I've been waiting for the I mean there was a Joey Chestnut card a couple of years ago, but they did not do any game used clothes because, let's face it, they were gonna be you.

Not though, this is this is part of the This is part of one of the buns.

Oh, you can't tell the NFL story, or at least the Falcon story without this.

No, it's true.

I mean it's a great end of season, this story.

I mean it is holiday junior card. What if it was made out of a hot dog? Oh, then you could eat it if you wanted to.

Oh, that would be fantastic edible Michael Pennix junior hot dog. So is it in like carbonite like it's han solo?

No?

That that way it you know, it doesn't start to rot. I don't want the picture. No, I mean depending on the hot dog. I mean, maybe it doesn't.

Pendix just has his hands up like he's Han Solo in the carbonite or just take him on the ground from the National title game against Michigan.

You know either one.

No, I saw someone that did that with I mean going back to the Han Solo thing with cheese and you can buy.

It's easy to carve and cheese though. I think anybody can do that.

Man, you gotta be with three D printer and he's got it like as a trading card and she stays forever.

That's that's overrated. That's like an easy way. That's like an easy way to make a call. Do something a hot dog where you gotta get all meat to make it into a hot dog and then you gotta make something else.

It's either the meat or meat like product.

Yeah, exact. Well, I'm I'm gonna go. You get put it through the extruder. You don't know what it is. I'm through the what extruder? What's an extruder?

Is that something real? Yeah, it's an extruder, Alert extrud or alert an extruder.

I don't think that's I think sometimes you make up words, I really do. I think sometimes you make up words that you think are words.

And they're not. They really aren't.

Got a low blood sugar, right. But extrusion literally it's putting it through the process.

What's extrusion?

You put it through the process of saying like.

You, I don't think extrusion is a word either, say you want to make a sausage of the extremes your process? If he's pushing whatever the meat sausage through and through into the encasement.

Do you want to build a sausage?

You might? This is Harmon at Christmas.

He sits around, all the kids around and he would volunteer in his kids' school.

And all right, kids, what are we gonna do?

We're gonna get used to produce long, continuous products such as tubing, tired threads, and wire covering. Okay, trost cinnamon men, No, no, are we gonna color candy canes?

Now?

Let me MANA going to show you how the sausage is made. Kids, And when you get on the eral stand, you want to see this, mister Harmon, what do you do? I'm picture I'm picturing uh Joan Cusack from School of Rock. Uh, mister sneeb Lee. If I could just have a minute of your time, mister Harmon. We don't want to be showing the kids making sausage when it's raw, because they could eat it and get sick.

That's not something we do here at the school.

It's a bad choice by them. But sometimes you gotta know the risks, and the only way to really get you prepared for life is to put you in those situations.

Early exit out about a Fresca exit. Swollen Dome.

The Jason Show with my best friend Mike Carmen Live from the tirech dot Com studios.

Uh can I talk people about extruders? Come on? You did? Are you trying to they didn't exist?

No, I'm saying I'd say, I still don't know if they WHOA what are you saying?

What are you saying?

Man?

What are you trying to say?

The age old debate of saying I'm trying to say here, I'm just saying. It's a debate, Santa Claus.

If I if I if I went to give me give me a country you've never been to. If I went to Nightroby and said, hey, do you know who Mike Harmon is, they would say, no, I don't know. Sorry, swollen Dome yet, No, I don't know they would have no idea. But I would say, you know who Santa Claus is. I know Santa Claus. Santa Claus is real. They would know Santa Claus wouldn't know you. You could be a figment of you could be a figment of my imagination. And the last ten plus years has just been me that I concocted you out of thin air. And this is Some might argue that to be the case. Mike Harmon, he doesn't exist. Man, I don't know what you're talking about. Wait, that's a movie.

He's never been seeing movie. That's a movie. Is there a Harmon?

Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific.

Lazzer.

Here he go.

How's that?

That's good? That's better?

Yeah, that's ha. Anybuddy, how are you?

Jay? I'm always ready, I'm always read.

Oh man, so hey, this game goes from it looks like Sean Payton the masterclass the Broncos in the first half, and all of a sudden, the Chargers pull out a huge, gritty win, probably their signature win under Harbaugh. So far.

What do you take away from this big Chargers win.

Well, I take away that you know, obviously Jamarrow has changed the culture over there and he's get got to believe that. You know this, you just said gritty like they made great halftime adjustments. They bought into his culture, like, hey, we could get our bucks with them the first half and make an adjustment the second half and just come out and fight harder and and just kind of believe what they're what they're selling. And they did. They bought in. They're believing and Chargers are a tough team. And you know, Charger a one of those teams that is you get them, they're still but they're still building what the roster is gonna end up being. But there's still one of those teams. If you get them in the players, you're like a rather than not have them on my kids were in the playoffs.

Yeah, I mean, look after what happened with Tampa and then certainly the first half year to be able to go back to as you've dubbed it, the culture of violence with Gus Edwards in the second half wasn't happening early, but sure as hell happened late.

Yeah. Absolutely, you know it's so funny too, and it does. You know. I had Kim hard about my podcast earlier this year, and one of the funnier things she said to me said he loves Justin Herbert. Obviously, he said, Justin Herbert he could play defensive end. I'm like, come on, dude, he goes. I'm like, you mean what he goes, No, I mean he can play defensive ut Like he's that kig and athletic and struct and like. But he that he has this thing not work. And obviously, you know, you guys know how training Derwin James and talk to Derwin about him. He goes, he just makes you He just makes you feel like you believe in yourself so much. Jim makes you believe in yourself so much. And man, he's time to just buy it in. And I think, but Jim Harball we're seeing now is a different Jim Harb what we saw his first go around in the NFL. I think he's way more like secure Jim Harbaugh as far as like man, he won a national championship. He's a champion. You know, It's just he's just he's a lot. He's just a fun character to be around.

Man, Now the flip side of this, obviously, the Broncos lose, but this is a season that I don't think had many Broncos fans saw coming. They're still in the driver's seat for the playoffs at nine and six. I mean, this has been some kind of push by Sean Payton, who this is also still not nearly the Broncos team you expect him to see once he gets it all loaded that no, absolutely not.

And that's the thing. They don't really but they don't have the weapons that you know they're obviously he felt would like to have to build around, to have a whole off season now where he doesn't have a bunch of dead cap money for the rest of Wilson deal and and some other deals also, and to go out and free agency and to build again through the draft. And one thing I'll say this about Son, Sean is probably the best coach in the NFL when it comes to an eye for personnel, Like his eye for personnel is just different. I remember back in New Orleans he got up and he bet everybody how great they're like, Hey, in the second round, we're going to get this running back named Alvin Kamara and he's going to be an all pro. This is it and he actually like bet guys in this County department. But it's like he really did. I mean it's the same guy also who is trying to trade up for Patrick Mahomes without anybody know them while Drew Brees was still his quarterback, but he with bow Nixt. I mean he had bow Nixt who was after they had a one on one visit after his personal workout, and he knew it back then. He's like, this is my guy. The guy to the point I said on Foxing Some a couple of weeks ago, I said, well, Sean's crazy and he comes up with crazy ideas. But one of the crazy ideas he came to me with was like, Hey, I'm actually I'm thinking of because I want to show people that he was my guy along was never J J. McCarthy. There's nobody else always im I'm thinking, how about this for an idea? And this is how Sean talks. Hey, hey, listen, hear me out. Okay, to hear me out. How about I'm going to fly out to where Bow is and when it's our turn on the clock, I'm gonna knock on the door and he's gonna say, hey, I'm selecting you bow next first round. I'm like, Sean, you no, you can't do that. You're like, it's just He's like, no, why not. I'm like, well, I don't know why not. It sounds crazy to me right now, but you know, just I'm like, sure, why not? But it just sounds crazy. But he comes up with these crazy ideas. But he's like, the point was, He's like, I want people to know this was my guy. He just I forever want people to know this was not like Boni fella on my lap. Forever to know he was My guys are private workout. That's why I had pegged him, you know, personalise. Like I said, he just man, he's really a he's a little evil genius.

Yeah.

I like that David Baker twist of things. I'm knocking behind your door. You're going to the Hall of Fame, all right.

I'm like, you can't do that. He's like why. I'm like, I don't know. I'm gonna let me think about this for a little bit. But now he does come up with some great crazy ideas and like, like listen when when he was with the Saints and they were playing the Coults in the Super Bowl. He actually had this guy, Mike Warren's teeter was a legend or are he going by all the billboards okay of where the Colts were going to travel to practice? And he had them by the billboards and make him Saints billboards like who saw? Just comes up with different things.

Man, He's crazy psychological warfare, you know. And I would have loved that idea, the bon Nicks idea. But you know what would have happened, Jay, you put that out there, the karma. He'd have been driving to bon Nicks's house and you've got a phone call. Hey, yeah, sorry, but so and so just traded up and drafted Bonnicks.

Get back in your car, go back to the airport.

Well, I will tell you this. He was so neurotic the day of the draft. And I think I told you guys in the past. He got said bad information that the Rams were gonna take Bonex and I'm like, and you know got the and I was like, I talked to Sean day about it, and I was like, hey, man, can I tell him that you're knocked like, cause he's like, I don't want to lose draft picks. He's like, yeah, you could do it, like you know normally these guys hold the colts to the desk. He's like, we have nothing to do it. I'm like, I don't want this guy losing draft picks. Think of that. They've got to jump up and you're trying to. They thought the Rams were gonna move up for Bonnicks and it wasn't even that was never a They never looked at Bonicks, but the Rams never had it. They didn't even like Dick nothing. So Chong got set some bad information. But the day of the draft, he probably called twelve. So when we're doing the draft, actually we're there in Fox Sports Radio, and I kept getting out of my chair to go outside cause he kept calling, are you sure? Are you sure they're not kidding? How many times do I got to tell you they're not getting they're not going after bonuts. You're good, You're good with bonus, You're good. He was showing a rock. But that was his eye since march Man.

That would have been a great extended for another season of ballers. Right there, Jay been a master negotiator, master thespian Right there, he's a broadcasting Hall of Famer.

He's a team talking about ballers real quick in the humping. I'm literally on set of Ballers one season and they were supposed to do a scene. I think it was a Brady or BELLI something. They lost somebody and they lost the big name like a Brady or Belichick, Like ah, Man, Jake, we need somebody to film the scene, and ballers like they're trying to. It's a free agency visit for John David Washington and I'm like, oh god, I got the guy for him to go. Who I said, Sean Payton. They said, you think he's doing I go to fly himself here in two seconds a baller. I'm here on a set of ballers. They need a coach to do the scene. Come in.

He was on the next thing, smoke and no question. That's awesome, joy that he was it.

He did.

Jay Glazer our guest and AAJ of course. Obviously the Unbreakable podcast. You have going on part two of your podcast with Rosie this week, and you tell a story about a chicken sandwich that I think people really need to hear.

Well, first of all, it was really hard getting this gest this week. I had to go through several agents, Yeah, marketing representatives. She rocked an nil deal.

With the Chicken Place.

It was my lovely bride, Rosie, and you know, her birthday was two weeks ago, and we aired the first part there my birthdays next week's we're wearing the second part here and it's just how you find love later life. And you know, look the the two of us again. I'm turning one of my turn fifty five, right, and I'm not going to say her age was. She's around my age, which is crazy. And she had never been married. I had very short one. And you know, a lot of the issues two of us were just never felt worthy of it. You never felt worthy of being loved. And she's kind of sabotaged things and you're waiting for everything to you wait, you're getting relationships, so you think or doomed for the start because they're supposed to be due because you're not worthy of it. So I take Rosie with me to Thailand on his mind, Body, Spirit, you know, journey. I'm training more time in the jungle air and work with these monks. I'm learning breathwork and meditation. And this monk sits with Rosie and she says, you know, what's the biggest problem. She said, well, I just don't feel worthy of being loved. Said okay, well, let me just ask you this as monk says to her, it's literally a monk in the middle.

Of the tide another movie.

What's your what? So what do you mean? She says, I just think like people look at me like, ah, she's not worthy of it. This girl doesn't deserve it. And that's how I feel when I even when I walk into places. That's how Rosie felt. So the lady said, well, let me ask a question. What's your favorite food, like your guilty pleasure food. She said, well, the place in Santa Monica COLR and D that there's a chicken sandwich in there. I love this chicken sandwich. Soa when you eat chicken sandwich, do you think everybody's looking at you thinking you shouldn't have that chicken sandwich? She's like, no, WoT anybody care about my chicken sandwich. You think the person sitting next to you is looking at you, going, oh, she doesn't deserve that chicken sandwich now, And they said, Rosie, your life is the chicken sandwich. Nobody's looking at you that you don't deserve this love. Same reason you deserve to just enjoy whatever food you want. You deserve this love, and it just changed everything for Rosy. And the point is, there's so many barriers we all put up in our own minds to hold ourselves back from our dreams, from love, from whatever it is, and it's not true. We create these monsters, and we create these stories and these rackets in our heads and it's just not true. We just need somebody sometimes to give us a little push to get out of it. So this week or a Rosy and I we come up with twenty things of what we did to fight love later in life. And you could be in your twenty thirty, forty fifty six and whatever, there's gonna be something there that connects with you. And even if you are with somebody and I'm You're probably sitting there going, how is this guy talking about love? Well, look in my life talking about football and fighting. Now I'm talking about falling love. So right, I don't know. My life is crazy.
