Chuck & Buck 2-24 Hour 3: It's Pajama Party week! Everett Fitzhugh and National pride vs local pride. · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And a pajama party. Man, when you were a kid,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: was there anything better than having a you know, a
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: cousin over or a friend over and having a little
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: pajama party.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: That was the best?
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Was it not the best?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Popcorn?
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Even yeah? I mean I have a lot of
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: brothers and sisters, even that night. That mom, just like
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: my mom used to wake us up every once in
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a while during the summer, not during school, but during
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the summer while we were in our pajamas. And I
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: know it was my mom that did it. My dad
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: probably hated it, but she would wake us up like
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: an hour into us having gone to bed, and she
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: would wake us all up and then take us to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Dairy Queen in our pajamas. So we get in a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: family station wagon the Clark Griswold mobile and head the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Dairy Queen and get ourselves a dilly bar or a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: blizzard or something.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: And bounced off the walls.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then bounced off and then couldn't go to sleep.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: But about once a year we would get surprised with
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the Dairy Queen late night run after we were all
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: ready in bed and you know, dreaming of Dairy Queen. Yactly.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, yeah, adopt that.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Little pajama party. By the time I was thirty five,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: it's starting to feel weird, well a little creepy.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: At least the station wagon held up though.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: You know, having a friend over. Yeah for a pajama party.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a different kind of pajama party at that time.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Once I have forty, I'm like, I gotta stop doing this. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: because mom needs to I mean, now I'm having to
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: drive mom, and that's.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Not fun because then you're not surprised anymore.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So there you go. That was my pajama party
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: when I was your kid.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: That's a great pajama that's good.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was fun. We still talk about to this day,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: as you should. Uh huh. And I do wonder if
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: my dad hated it, Like, think about he still had
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to go to work the.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Next Well did he get a treat though? Did she
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: at least get on a treat?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: He got a treat?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, so he went with you guys.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah he went. Yeah, he drove and the whole family
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: got in there and we went in there because it
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: wasn't like some short drive like we lived out in
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere. Yeah, so it was a little
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: bit of an adventure. I mean, I mean it's not
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: driving from Boston to Indianapolis and like the Bell family's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: doing today. But yeah, it was a good twenty five
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: minute drive to the nearest Derek Queen.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: That is a dedication for darry Queen right there.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: It's that should be a dairy Queen ad like the
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: kids up in the middle of the night for dairy
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Queen treat in the station wagon.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Well thanks Dad, Thanks mom.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good parenting.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great memories. Yeah, that's awesome, appreciate it. I actually
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: forgive you now for all the times you changed me
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to a radiator in the basement to punish me. I'm glad.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I mean I would forgive them with a lot less
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: but dairy Queen definitely.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it makes up a lot of ground.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah it does, all right.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So why are we talking about pajamas? Well that's what
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I refer to.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It was like, I don't remember.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: The NFL combine as the pajama party, And so that
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: gets started this week. It's already underway. People have already
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: reported they're doing the weighing and the measuring, and then
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: today that's why Greg Bell's driving from Boston to Indianapolis
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and a snowstorm so that he can get to Indianapolis
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: talk to John Schneider. He doesn't make himself available a lot.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: John as general manager and an executive, and he tends
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to make himself available even less when he's really rolling,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: which he is right now. So this is an opportunity
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: for he, Greg and all of the other beat writers
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to ask him all the questions they have stored up.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: And of course they just spent some time together by
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl for goodness sake, And so that's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: going to take place here the next couple of days,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and then the actual workouts start on Thursday, Thursday, Friday,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday. So a little bit of a pajama
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: party preview, if you will. And we've already discussed this
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: morning the Ken Walker situation, which might be one of
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the most discussed things this week at the NFL. Comeby
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking about a Super Bowl MVP who
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: is hitting free agency at the perfect time if you're
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Ken Walker, if you're his agent, twenty five year old
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: free agent who may have shown us in the last
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: three games that they played. The only reason I haven't
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: put together one of those fifteen hundred yard seasons that
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: everybody expected out of me is because the way I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: was used. I mean, we had Mike Holmgren and You
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Millan on Monday after the Super Bowl, and both of them,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: both coach and QB one, both said what is when
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: asked what is the key to this ken Walker run
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of success here in the playoffs? Because Charbonay got hurt.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's no slide against sharbon Ay. It's just
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: giving credit to ken Walker that maybe he could have
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: been this running back earlier this season, maybe earlier in
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: his four year career, had he been fed the rock
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: more consistently. I think the Seahawks would argue, I think
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: we did it the perfect way. We won the Super Bowl,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and we kept him healthy, and we kept him healthy,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And what if we would have given him Derrick Henry
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: touches during the regular season, maybe he wouldn't have been
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: available to us in the postseason. So I think the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Seahawks would argue, Yeah, I hear what you're saying, but
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it worked out pretty well for us. Yeah. However, ken
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Walker certainly was not viewed as some one of the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: best running backs in the National Football League, not in
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: any of his four years in a Seahawk uniform and
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: now suddenly it's free agency and he's going to end
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: up getting paid like one of the best running backs
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League because of the timing of
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the situation. So Super Bowl MVP. Still just twenty five
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: years old, he's the youngest of the running back free
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: agents this year, and whoever gets him has three games
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: to say, my goodness, look what this guy can do
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: on the biggest stage out there, and also like showcase
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that little patience aspect of his that Le'Veon bellfing, which
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to see or of in the future,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: whether it's in a Seahawk uniform or not. So that's
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: going to be a big story, and I don't think
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: it's going to be settled this week at the NFL Combine.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: But I'll bet you John Schneider is going to work
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: on it while he can work on it, while he's
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the only team that can work with Ken Walker. Let's
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: see if they can't figure out a deal. As discussed
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: in our six o'clock segment today, I don't love the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: options out there for replacing him. That's the problem free agency.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, Breece Hall's there, but that just seems like
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a sideways move to me. I'd rather go with the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: guy that I know than a Breece Hall Travis Etien
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: from the Jaguars. I think's really good. I don't know
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: if he's as talented. I don't know if his upside
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: is ken Walker's, but he's another one that I could see,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: like if you lost Walker, But then again, why wouldn't
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you just go the distance to re sign the guy
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you know then bring.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: It rather than bringing someone else to who then has
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: to figure it all out.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't doubt at the end's work ethic.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I think whoever he goes with, he's going to be
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a good player for that team. But the devil, you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: even with some of the you know, strikes against Walker
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: for not having been a fifteen hundred yard rusher this season,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: you know, certainly I think that he's the best of
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the three. If you wanted to spend good money on
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: a running back this offseason, then the next group of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: free agents is Rashad White, Rico Dowdell, who I like
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: but for a lot different reasons than I like ken Walker,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and then Isaiah Pacheco. Those are like the next three
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: guys like no pass, not interested, not interested in giving
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: those guys pay raises. I'd rather go to the draft
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: at that point. Yeah, So then you start focusing on
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the draft, which we will this weekend with the NFL Combine.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And then they tell us it's not a great running
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: back draft. They're telling us it's not a great draft, period,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: but it's not a great running back draft. Actually, there's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: one guy that's being called a first rounder one, and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that is somebody that we're not gonna have a chance
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to draft in Jeremiah Love out of Notre Dame. He's
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: gonna be a top ten pick. I think he's gonna
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: end up being a top five pick before the process
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: comes to a close. And even if we were willing
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: to try to get up there, we don't have the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: draft capital this year, with only four picks to get
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: as high as it would take to get Jeremiah Love.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: It's not on the Seahawks radar. It shouldn't be on
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: our radar at all, but I bring it up because
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: it speaks to there's only two guys that some publications
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: are even ranking as first or second round quality running backs,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the other one being another Notre Dame guy. E Jdian Price,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: So you can.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Have too many Notre Dame guys. That is possibility.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: So if you are thinking to yourself, Okay, what else
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: is their free agency wise? Eh? Like that group? Yeah,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Walker Walker over anybody in that group. And then you say, well,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: maybe if you save some money, because that running back's
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a dime a dozen thing, just find another running back.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: You've got the thirty second pick in the draft, you
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: get your choice of the second best running back in
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the entire draft, unless he's not worthy of the thirty
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: second pick, and if he's not worthy even of a
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: second round pick. So it I mean from that standpoint,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you start putting those things together. And even though I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: expect Walker and the Seahawks to part, I don't know
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: if I love the options for replacing him. Yeah. Plus
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: you have to replace Charbonnet next year because of the injury.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: So it's just not a rich free agency crop and
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to be a rich running back crop.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: So maybe that does push John Schneider and the organization
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: a little bit further to hey, well, we're willing to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: get a little uncomfortable it should, yeah, financially to make
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: sure that we're bringing back a guy that may have
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: found his groove, and do we really want to abandon
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: something we've been working on for four years. Maybe we
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: just figured out how best to use him. And it
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: seems like we've got the most invested in this guy.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: He's the youngest free agent out there at twenty five
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: years old. He's barely older than the draft picks, for
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: goodness sake, some of the draft picks out there. So
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I mean, at first, when the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: offseason began, I kind of thought these two were gonna
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: part ways, but maybe John's gonna fight harder, Mike's gonna
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: fight harder to keep ken Walker after all?
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Well, and I just think, yeah, if your situation with
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: sharbon Ay was different and he was healthy, and you
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: were thinking, oh, we're gonna go back to, you know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: having a one A and a one B, No, you
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: don't pay ken Walker to be your one A, I
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: don't think. But in this case where you, yeah, you
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: don't know how long it's going to take Sharbonnaed to
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: heel and if he does, he'll is he going to
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: be the same player? You have no idea. So I
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: think to go from having two what seemingly are viable,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: good running backs that could have both produced for your
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: team to potentially having none and going with someone else
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: like no, yes, you definitely make yourself uncomfortable in that situation.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you're if you don't have either one
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: of them, you're adding a free agent and you are
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: drafting a running back, no question about that. Yeah, but
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: are you going to be what are you going to
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: be able to create with that? If you're trying to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: save money at the position because you don't want to
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: spend a lot of money at that position, then that
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: probably takes you out of the hall market. That probably
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: takes you out of the ETN market. Maybe doesn't take
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you out, but could take you out of the ATN market.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: And then I'm not really interested in anybody else on
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the market. And if you are going to theoretically take
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a rookie that has to step in for ken Walker,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: it can happen. I mean, you can find a sixth
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: rounder and it can happen. But who is it? Who
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: do you identify? When do you identify him? I'm certain
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: they'll trade out of the thirty second pick and try
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to pick up some more picks. They're not going to
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: end up with four picks in the draft. I mean,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that's just nothing that John Schneider would ever do. But
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: could you draft to get an extra second round pick
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and an extra third round pick by moving out of
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: that number thirty two spot. That's probably what is going
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: to happen. And so since this is a Pajama party preview,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: let's dive into that a little bit. We've already had
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Charles Davis discuss this topic on our radio show in
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the past. And the name that he threw out when
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I asked him give me a rookie that if we
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: were without Ken Walker that you could see stepping in.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: He brought up Kaylon Black. Now you should know that
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: name if you watch college football because his team won
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the national championship. He was one of the two running backs.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: It was Hemby and Black that ran it for the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Indiana Hoosiers, and Hemby was the guy more used and
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Black was the guy that was a little more explosive.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: So that's the name that he threw out. Well, I
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: mean it's not yet Draft Miss, but you know, father
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Draft Miss is already doing his evaluation on it.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Twice.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't just do that during Draftmas season. Come on,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: you got to prep. You think Santa just said, oh
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: my gosh, it's Christmas.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I got to make a list.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, procrastinated, my claus.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Get in here with a long piece of paper.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: And a crapload and ink, Yeah, I gotta make this list. So,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Kaylon Black is really being evaluated as maybe a Day
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: three player, a fourth round pick. I suppose if you
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: identic well, I know more than suppose. Now, if you
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: identified him, like that's the guy you whispered into Mike's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: ear at Indianapolis, that's the guy, He's the guy we're
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: then yeah, maybe you do go Day two, maybe you
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: get third round pick, and beauty's in the eye of
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the beholder. We're all going to play that comp game
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: even if we lose ken Walker. If you watch, if
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you if you follow the draft process at all, I
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: know what we're gonna do. We're gonna find the guy
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: that looks like him, that runs like him, that could
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: replace him. And I got a name for you. And unfortunately,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and this really pisses me off, I couldn't get to
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the airwaves fast enough with this name because a guy
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: from Bleacher Report, some Gary Davenport dude that is your
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: real name, already made this connection Ah Gary, and then
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated wrote an article about stupid Gary's opinion, which
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: actually is pretty smart Gary, because I think right along
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: with him.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Damn gear bear.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, And so he wrote an article saying the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: dream fit for Seattle and round number two, and this
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: guy is not being discussed as a second round running back.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: He is being discussed more as a third round at best,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: maybe even fourth round running back. And yet when I
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: saw the clips, and look, I'm not deep diving like
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millan down in my cave studying all of the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: film from college football this past year, but I didn't
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: check out clips of this guy. And there's no question.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: You watch him run and you're like, oh, that looks
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit the way Ken Walker runs. And his
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: name is Mike Washington junior, his Arkansas running back did
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: a little transferring like all the running backs, like all
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: college football players do. But this guy is bigger. He's
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: like six foot two twenty eight like Walker's five nine
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: two twelve. Okay, so there's a bigger running back, but
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: there's I mean, go check out the video, go put
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: it on, you can find it anywhere. There are some
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: open field runs and you're like Oh my, that's ken walkery.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: That is very ken Walker like. It's ken Walker ish,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: that's what it is.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: And I don't I don't hate that.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: So he runs with power, which ken Walker can do,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: but he also has a vision to find the hole,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and we know ken Walker does that to a fault.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes he thinks, oh no, it's not there. Yeah,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I see daylight that way, so I'm gonna run all
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the way across the field. So there's a little bit
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: of that which can be a negative too, was with
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Walker and is all evaluations of running backs. Sometimes you
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: do just got to hit the hole and trust that
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be some space there. But in the open field,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: some shiftiness, certainly some burst. I'm not sure if he's
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: going to clock at some high end speed like Walker
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: did coming out of Michigan State, but there's certainly some
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: similarities when you watch him run and then just tack
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: on fifteen extra pounds to the dude. So yeah, Gary
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Davenport put the two together. I couldn't wait to get
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: on the airways to discuss it here today, to be
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the first to bring up this name. And I've already
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: been beaten to the punch but I get what Gary sees,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Oh gear Bear sees. Mike Washington Junior out of Arkansas
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: is my early circle them in the Draftmas catalog running
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: back that the Seahawks. I mean, he's saying it's such
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: a great fit. Take him in the second round, and
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I kind of agree with that philosophy. You really like
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: it guy.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: And possibly lose him.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't worry about anybody else's board. Get your guy,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: especially if you're going to have a big hole, especially
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: if ken Walker's a Tennessee Titan. Well here in a
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: couple of months, every.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Team's priorities are different, so you should only worry about you.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: You do you John, Yeah, And if that's the guy,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: then you know, maybe you do. You do trade out
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: of that thirty second spot, you get an extra second
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: round pick, and with one of those two second round picks,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: even if it's the last pick in the second round,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: if that's your frog, jump, yeah, you know, go get him.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Get a little froggy at that point. But Mike Washington
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Junior could be a name to circle and somebody to
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: watch if you're a freak like me and you do
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: watch the Pajama Party on on Saturday.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Second round four dollars. Okay, I don't hate that.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: So yeah, if you're looking for a couple of guys
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: to maybe circle that, if you're gonna watch the coverage
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: on Saturday, because the running backs, receivers and quarterbacks will
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: all go on Saturday. Mike Washington Junior is somebody that
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I would keep an eye on. Okay, and then two
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: for Charles's sake, Charles said, Kaylon Black. Jonah Coleman's pretty
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: interesting in this process. We already know the story about
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Jonah Coleman, we know that game. But he's being evaluated
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: pretty highly in this process. One of the top five
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: running backs according to a lot of the different rankings
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: out there. Emmitt Johnson out of Nebraska is a little
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: more slight at five to eleven, two hundred pounds, he
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: looks small on the field, but man was he productive
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: at Nebraska this past year. That's somebody that maybe I
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: would keep an eye on. So if you if you
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: want a few names to circle, I've given him to you.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: There's your running back pajama party preview. But Mike Washington
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Junior is an early guy on my draft miss radar.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: It's like we got our catalogs like just a couple
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: pages of the catalog early we got to look.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what happens when Bucky's not here to ruin
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: all of our funk.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Pretty exciting.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the curmudgeon that he is around the holidays. Yeah,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: all right. Coming up next, evert fits You will be
• 19:25

  Speaker 1: So I know ever fits you as fired up to
• 19:33

• 20:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of young Taylor Dane fans out there, not
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: sure maybe I ought to give her a try though
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: maybe you shouldn't judge a cover, you know, but I
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: know it happened. I know there are a lot of
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: other Taylor Dane fans out there. So yeah, if you
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: want to tell it to my.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Heart or tell me I'm the only one.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, two days from now.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: That would be really fun.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: So going out there and check out Taylor Dane.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: And I bet she still has that great voice. I
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: bet nothing has changed.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I think some things have changed.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Well, I think she's still got big hair, and I
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: think she's still got a great voice.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's other.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Things that time just takes away from the well.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: And also that surgeon can add to you.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, all of those things.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: So it might be a little bit of that going on.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: But I saw Eddie money when he was however old,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: he was it and it was well worth it.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: What what is your favorite Tailor Dane song?
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Tell it to my heart and not the slower?
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I feel the night explode when we're together.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Emotions overload and the heat of pleasure me.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I'm yours.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: And not the slower. Love will lead you back someday.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I just know it.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: It's a great one and love does always lead you back.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: But something about the beat and tell it to my heart.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: It tells me I'm the only one.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: You got a lot of hits.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: She's great, a really fun show, well worth it. Where
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: is it out again?
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Chuck Casino, the Orca Ballroom. I mean she got a
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: little overshadowed by Madonnald. Let's face it. Back in the day,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Hard to beat the material girl at the time.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: And like Paul Abduel, but she cranked out a lot
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: of him. I know somebody that probably had a Taylor
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Dane poster in his room in Detroit, Michigan. Everett fits
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: You right next to a Stevie Eiserman poster. There was
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Taylor Dane telling Everett fits you love will lead you back.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: He joins us. Now the voice of your Seattle crack,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and good morning, sir.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: I love that song. A million guesses would have never
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: I could never have told you. I have no idea,
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: no idea. I heard I heard the ad that play
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago, and I was like, oh,
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: to the Dane, it's okay. You never would have guessed it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: You know, that's one of my favorite parts about music,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: because I didn't like grow up like a music fan,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: so I kind of had to learn it all as
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: an adult. I had to, you know, I started like
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: thirty and then gave myself like a crash course. I
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: was the time you just listen to it in the background,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: and then I really got into it. But one of
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: my favorite parts about having that experience is there will
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: be an artist and you're like, I didn't know they
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: sang that. They sing that too. That's a Taylor Dane experience.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: So if you go see her in the show, you'll
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: be like, I didn't know she's saying, well, I've heard
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: of that song. You'll have about twelve of those before
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the show, and then you'll be all right, all right, Well,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: let's talk some hockey. How pumped are you to resume
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the season tomorrow, mister fits you.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: I'm excited. I'm very excited. I think the team is excited.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: I think that I was talking to Vince Done before
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: we left the other day, and you know, I asked
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: him about the break and then I said, do we
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: like the break or do we want to keep on going?
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: And he goes, obviously, you know, if you're gonna give
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: me a education, I'm not going to say no. But
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: we were playing pretty well before the break and sometimes
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: it can be hard to get that momentum back. So,
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: you know, I think this team is excited. I know
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: I'm excited. I know our fan base is excited to
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: get going again. But I do think that with the
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: crack and the big thing is going to be can
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: they resume and continue that forward motion that they had.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, they won six of eight going into the break,
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: They're five points out of first. Right now, there are
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: three points out of going golfing, So it is it's
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: a very tight race right now for Seattle.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're not gonna know how people are going
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: to react to this, but you drop three games and
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: not everybody got as I mean, there were a lot
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: of teams that had a lot of players in the
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Olympic process. Yeah, So I mean, is it safe to
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: say that whoever does manage it well, who comes out
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: strong starting tomorrow. I mean, in this tight, clustered race
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: is probably gonna either it's gonna make or break their
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: playoff season. Is just how they didn't manage or how
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: they do bounce back from having not played for three weeks.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: I think I think that's that's it. That that is
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: absolutely bang on. And if you're Seattle. I think I'll
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: go further and even say that you've got a bit
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: of an advantage on other teams because the Krakend only
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: sent four players over to to the Olympics. You know
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: Coppocco and Ellie Tolveanan who joined the team here in Dallas.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: They won bronze for Finland, Philip Grubauer for Germany and
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: then Oscar Fisker Molard for Denmark. The krack had only
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: had four guys over there, whereas Dallas they had six
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: or seven guys going over to the Olympics. They're gonna
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: be out a few of those guys. Jay Ottinger played
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: for Team USA. He's not gonna play tomorrow. Miko Rantman,
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: who you know is one the leading goal scores, he
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: got hurt over in the italygal He's not gonna play
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: for a couple of games. Will Pay Hints, who played
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: for Team Finland with Ellie Tolvenan and Coppocaco. He got sick.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: He probably won't play tomorrow for Dallas. And then you
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: go up and down the division. You know, Kevin Fiall
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: breaks this leg basically for the Kings. He's out for
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: the year. Mkyle Granlin for the Ducks one of their
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: leading scorers, and what with their leaders, he's out for
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: some happy time as well. So I mean, if you're Seattle,
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: obviously you're never gonna root for anyone to get injured.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: But the Kraken are in a pretty good position to
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: take advantage of a couple of teams that lost some
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: pretty big players over the Olympic break. So you're right.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's gonna be whoever manages it. And I
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: think another big thing that a lot of folks are
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: taking into account is, I mean, if you're Team Canada,
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: let's say you're Conor McDavid for Edmonson, you're Nathan McKinnon
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: for the Colorado Avalanche. That's a wild emotional swing going
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: from losing arguably the biggest game of your life to
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: now having to come back and be thrown into the
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: thick of a playoff race. So there's gonna be a
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: lot of guys around the league who either won or
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: they lost, and now they're gonna have to refocus those
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: emotions and oh, we've got games to play. Oh we've
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: got a playoff race to jump back into. So I
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: do think that Seattle may be able to capitalize and
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: catch a few teams off guard that way.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: We had e Eli on an hour ago, your guy
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: tol was on the radio show. I guess I should
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: have just assumed this, but he talked about how Finland
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: and Sweden hate each other. Uh so, how how are
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Adam Larson and then Coppo Cockgo and Ellie Tolven gonna
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: interact when they see each other again?
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Hey, they're they're teammates, so it's, uh, it's all love here,
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: but no, it's people love to talk about USA versus Canada,
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: but that that Finland Sweden rivalry, that's about as heated
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: as as you're did again. And it's funny. I was
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: talking to a friend of mine and in hockey the
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: other day and I asked him that question. You know,
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: I said, over here in North America, we care about
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: the Stanley Cup. You know, I think if you line
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: up twenty Canadians, Minnesotan's, people from Massachusetts, Michigan folks from
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: hockey hotbeds, and you said you can only pick one
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: gold medal or a Stanley Cup, what would you pick?
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: And I think he was like, eighty percent, ninety percent
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: are going to pick the Stanley Cup because that's that's
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: what we've been training for over in Europe. I mean,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: it's it's World Championships, it's the Olympics, it's the World Juniors,
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: it's all that international play that folks have been watching
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: their entire lives. You know. A couple of years ago,
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: I think it was a lot Via they won a
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: bronze medal in the World Championships, which are played in May.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: That was their first ever international hockey medal ever, and
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: the city shut down for a week. I mean, the
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: bars ran dry because Lotvia was celebrating their bronze medal.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: That that is how serious they take it over there.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: So we we talk about USA and Canada and you
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: know Washington, Oregon, Austin Yankees, right, but over there that
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Finland Sweden rivalry that is about as nasty as you're
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: gonna find, you know, from from an international competition standpoint.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he said that Sweden doesn't do one thing better
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: than Finland, not one.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah. My favorite thing about the Olympics.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: They have those videos where I think it was it
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: was Finland. You know, they they talked to the team
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: and they said, say one thing nice about Boss Sweden
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: and all the guys can't do it. Got nothing. One
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: of my teammates, you know, plays for them, but it's
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: definitely can't. I can't do it. They got nothing.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: That's great. Evert Fitzi the voice of the Krack and
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: joins us every week at this time. They resume action
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: tomorrow in Dallas against the Stars. Who's gonna win? Who's
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: gonna be the goaltender tomorrow?
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Uh, it would not surprise me. I think if Joey
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: the Cord would go because it's a back to back,
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: so you're gonna see both uh, Decord and Grubauer play.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: You know. I think with Grubauer going over to the Olympics,
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: he didn't get the vacation and the time off. So
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: I do think that they're going to try to see
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: if they can get him a day or two off
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: here and there between now and you know, middle of
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: middle of March, Gruenbauer joined the team what's today Tuesday?
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Join the team Saturday. I believe he came back and
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: joined Seattle for practice Saturday, and then it flew with
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: the team yesterday here. So he did get a couple
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: of days after the exit. But I think it'll be
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: Joey tomorrow and then we'll back to our regularly scheduled programming.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Huh. All right, we got to get your take though
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: on the US Canadian game, the gold medal going to
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the US and uh, and then on the back side
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: of it, how that might impact the rest of the
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: NHL season in terms of eyeballs on the product.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: You know what, this sounds very corny, This sounds very
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: very cheesy. But as I'm watching that game the other night,
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: and as I'm I'm watching Connor Hellerbuck make forty one
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: saves and Jack Hughes score that goal, and you know
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: the rivalry that is USA Canada, my first thought was,
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: this is my generations. This will be my kids generations miracle.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: That is our miracle on ice when when we beat
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: the Canadians. Hockey in the US is continuing to grow.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: That game did so much for the game of hockey
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: on the whole. I read an article the other day
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: that said, for the first time ever, you ate under eight.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Hockey participation in the US has reached one hundred thousand.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: So you've got over one hundred thousand kids under the
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: age of eight now being enrolled in hockey programs, learn
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: to skate programs, official USA Hockey programs. So that's gonna
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: be huge. But I think going down the rest of
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: the season with a league that is as tight as
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: it is with a Kraken five points out of first,
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: three points out of missing the playoffs, right, it's a
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: very tight race. I think more teams in the NHL
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: are in that race than out of that race. They
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: are going to be so many more fans. These buildings.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: The next twenty six games are going to be packed
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: because of what they saw over in Italy. The Track
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: can have games against Colorado, Edmonton, the Panthers at the
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: Kachuck Brothers. Ottawa comes in here again as well. So
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: for Seattle, I mean, the fan base is already one
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: of the strongest bases that I've seen in our league,
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: and now you just travel around the league, you're gonna
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: start seeing a lot more people being interested in hockey
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: because of that tournament.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Ever fits you with us, say here on Chuck and back,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: good to hear you. Did you miss Al?
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: I did I miss Al? Actually myself, Al and Mike
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: went to the Silver Tips and t Birds game on
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: Saturday nine. Nothing win for the for the Tips over
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: the Tea Birds. You talk about a rivalry. That game
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: was That game was over before it even started. So
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: I saw Al on Saturday, and then we went to
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: dinner last night and my wife called me and she goes,

  Speaker 1: He said something in that conversation that I want to
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: discuss about the Olympics and how we do treat it
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: versus our favorite professional teams. I want to get into
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: that next Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: f M. All right, coming up in our final hour
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: here today, nine o'clock. What I learned from Spring training
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Part four? It's right, it's a franchise. Now she had
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: the four movies. It's a franchise.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Oh man, Lookout, Star Wars, look.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Out, Fast and Furious.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: Made million.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh well, I on my way so and I
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: can't wait for a scary movie. I can't wait to
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: have this conversation today because some of the things that
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: happened yesterday in the spring training game against the Dodgers.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: So that's coming up at nine o'clock plus a bunch
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: of NFL news and notes will pass along to you
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: in the nine o'clock hour. But we just had ever
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: it fits you on and he said something about that
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Olympic experience, and he said that even in America and
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: in Canada, teams are still after the Stanley Cup, like
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I don't, even though the average to below average fan
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: of hockey is all about patriotism and probably was the
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: reason why a lot of people got up at five
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. Had very little to do with
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: hockey and everything to do with patriotism. Yes, he says
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: still he thinks if you pulled hockey fans in Canada
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: and America, eighty percent of them would rather have a
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup over a gold medal. And that's not the case.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: In some European or Eastern European countries. That's just not
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: the case. They'd much rather have the gold medal and that.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: And it's true. I didn't know if it would be
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: that extreme for hockey, but I certainly know that it's
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: that extreme for basketball and baseball. I don't even want
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: the marriage. I don't even want baseball in the Olympics anymore.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: When it got taken out of the Olympics. I kind
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: of looked at that as you got to be kidding me.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Some of these other sports you have in here, and
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna have baseball in here. I don't even
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: want it, and I don't know, I don't. I don't
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: think that makes me less of a patriot. But I mean,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: the marriage is gonna be sweating bullets through this WBC.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: We already have one of these things and it's ended
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: up being a really good event, and it happens in
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: the middle of spring, and so they treat it as
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a ramp up. They don't let
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: people get out of their normal routine too greatly. And
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: yet there's a risk every team out there. I don't
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: want to attack another one on I don't want us
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: to be in the Olympics in baseball. I would rather
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the Marriors win a World Series, then we win a
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: gold medal at the Olympics.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Well, absolutely, And I can understand why it would be
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: more important to us to win, like Americans and Canadians
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: to win the Stanley Cup versus other countries, because it
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: the other countries don't have teams, right, They've got players
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: that are playing on other teams.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: But you look at the players that each country has,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: They're spread out, right, So who's the team that you
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: cheer for? It's gonna be different.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Whereas here, if the krackn win the Stanley Cup, that's
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: our team winning the biggest trophy in the NHL and
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: versus our entire country. Yeah, it's like, oh, yeah, I
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: feel I feel pride in my country for bringing home
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: the gold medal. But would I trade that for a
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Stanley Cup.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, in a heartbeat.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if it's eighty percent and hockey with hockey fans
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: in America, I'm guessing it's ninety percent, not ninety five
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: in basketball, and maybe close to one hundred percent, maybe
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: ninety eight percent in baseball.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: If the US finishes dead last in the World Baseball
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Classic and the Mariners bring home a World Series trophy, yeah,
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, okay, I'll be just fine.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I mean to the point that I don't even want
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: I don't even really like them playing in the WBS. Yeah,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: it's a whole breath moment for me.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: I agree, it's stressful.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: And yet to add them back into the Olympics, No,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: my vote is no, I don't even want them to
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: be in the AP and I.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Love that they're proud to do it, and yes, our country, sure,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: and I don't want to take anything away from them,
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: but yeah, selfishly, yeah, I don't want anything to jeopardize
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: my team.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Season, right.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I guess that's we treat it differently.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and if it's selfish, okay, I mean.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: I get why Lindsay Vonne literally almost life and limb yeah,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: to be in the Olympics. I mean, even though she'd
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: done it many times before, that's that's the event that
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: was the last chance to prove her greatness. I get
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: why she does that. I don't think we need to
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: risk our professional as our professional baseball players that way.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: And you know, if we win seven World Series in
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: a row and then our guys want to play in
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: the Olympics, I'm like, okay, yes, you can go play
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: in the Olympics.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Now, that's fine, all right? Coming up next, speaking of baseball,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: what I learned at Spring training, Part four, And I
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: can't wait to talk about this topic because something happened
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: yesterday that proves at Mine and Cal Rawley's Damn Point
