• 3:45
  Speaker 2: in the morning, the closer for your Seattle Mariners here
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: at the spring training. And look, I've heard this story
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: about how you're going to throw a bullpen session with
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: a sports rider Adam Jude. So are you a little
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: nervous about that at all? That you might hurt the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: poor fella?
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: Um? He I think he's the one who has to
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: be like nervous.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Just like he came with the idea. Yeah, I told you,
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: are you sure about that? And I told you he
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: told me yes. So he's been practiced a little bit.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: They told me that he's he's good. I think he's
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: going to be able to catch it really good. Uh.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: The plan is to just throw five or six and
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: if he feel comfortable catching it, he's going to catch
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: a footballpen. But he just told me to don't throw
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: the sinker.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't break your thumb.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: No.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I talked to him today. I asked, so you've been practicing.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: He says, yeah. I said, okay, how hard have you think?
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: Oh, we got the velocity machine turned up yesterday we
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: were so it was coming in pretty good. I'm like,
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: how hard and he's like, oh, probably like eighty five.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, that's not hard. He didn't know that.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, that's not hard. Eighty five.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: That's what people play catch at, Like, that's not Moons
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: bringing it. Are you gonna rare back and give him
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: the Hondou?
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, I don't. I don't.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: I I am full confidence and just go there with
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: somebody who I don't know how he catch and just
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: going through the hardest that I can. I can't do that.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: So I think that's what he signed up for race. Yeah,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I think you gotta give him your nastiest slider from
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the sink.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: I think I don't have enough information with that, but
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: I'm going to try to don't hurt him. But yes,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: it's it's it's really cool that he is trying to
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: do that. Used to because he he cried a lot.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: He knows a lot about our team, but it's nothing
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: better to see what is in person. How that thing
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: looks like and hopefully he don't get hurt or something.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: I'm sure they're going to protect him a little bit.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: And he's going to have the food year and all
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: those things. So I think he's going to be protecting
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: and he I think he having some advice from call too,
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: So I think he should be good.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: He needs to sit behind a brick wall.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: That's what I think he needs, more than just gear.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: But I wish him the best.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: How you how you call the thing that you put
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: in your thumb just a brace? A brace?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: I told him they don't forget that thing, you just
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: put it on. I don't want to I break something
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: on your tongues.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: Otherwise when he's typing, he won't be able to hear.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Use that thumb every time space bar.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: It won't work. It won't work.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I think it's almost better that he does break his thumb.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I do, because then you've got a better story. How
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: did you hurt your thumb?
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Adam?
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: I was catching andreke moony.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: Help and I know somebody who have that his story?
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: My brother really I he catched my bullpens in the
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: off season, So I normally I don't toward sinkers to him.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: But he told me that he wants to see one,
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: and I threw him one, and I almost broke his dumb.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: He was like four months for recovery from that.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and a lot of treatment and all those things.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: So I already told him that and used to be prepared.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: When did you when did you start throwing hard? Like
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the first time you played baseball? Did you throw harder
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: than all.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: The other kids?
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: No? No, I was just normal, like average velocity. Then
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: when I was what's the point of my I didn't
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: want to like get full in baseball. When I was thirteen,
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: then I stopped playing baseball for some things that happened
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: over there, like we have a tryout and they put
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: attention in other kids and they put me on the side.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: So I take that as an experience and used to like, okay,
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: like I'm going to prove that you are grown. And
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: then I start to do three things during the day.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: I was doing swimming, track and field and baseball. So
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: I did that for six I was throwing like eighty
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: eighty one eighty two. I did that for three for
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: six months, six to eight months. Then when I came back, No,
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: rather gones no anything. I used play catch, trowblepens. Then
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: when I went to the game in the first pitch
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: that I threw was ninety one or eight months later,
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: just doing that, whoa, and then I continue doing that
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: for basically my home whole main league career. When I
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: was seventeen one was the first time that I threw
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: one hundred and then every time that I went home,
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: I continued with that workouts like swimming, track and field baseball,
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: and that is that is part of my routine now
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: like all the time when I go there. I was
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: a triple jumper, So every time that I go to Mexico,
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: that is my training. That is the way that I
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: train like I trained like.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I triple jump throw pictures for a living. Yes, interesting,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: what your wife's attracted fields start? What what was her event?
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Eight hundred meters and fifteen hundred meters?
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: Okay, swimming when you're doing your swimming, I was a
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: swimmer in high school, believe it or not, that was
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: like one hundred post. Yeah, but but what was what
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: just like freestyle like front crawl or just spront and
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: sprints or distance distance distance.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Distance we use that more for I don't know what
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: I feel when I do the swimming, but feels like
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: I am working and I am relaxing at the same time.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: So and that is something that if you had things
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: in your mind, you're get in a pool and then
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: you start swimming and swimming and swimming, and then you
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: forget about it. And that is really cool things to do.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Is I use it more inter relaxing things like used
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: to relax, to get get out of into my mind
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: and and just use that.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: And you're getting in shape while you're doing it.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Andre smuns our guest here, first time we've ever had him.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Why have you not been on more often? You're awesome?
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: This has been great joining us here on the chucking box,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: so very close to making it to the World Series
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: last year. How painful was it to come up short
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: as a team, and then how much of a motivator
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: has that been to get this season.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Started this year?
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Obviously it was first of all like we have to
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: thank God for how far we get and I don't know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: he's us like at the same time we were sad,
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: but we were happy to see how far we can
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: we can get and how close we were to be
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: in the worse areus? And I feel like that helped
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: us a motivation too for us just to know that
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: we are able to do it and we are able
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: to be against the best of the best, and and
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: that gives us a lot of confidence. And the mentality
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: has changed to like, we know that we are able
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: to do it. It's not that before we we weren't
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: able to or we we didn't have the mindset the mentality,
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: but we never experienced that. And now that we experienced that,
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: we we have a lot of confidence on ourselves. Okay,
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: we we can do we can we can be there
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: uh this year, and that is the mentality. As soon
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: as we got here, we all, we all, everybody got
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: so excited about it and now we are excited to
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: be there again. So hopefully. Uh that is a plan
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: of everybody be there and and and and be the
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: best in baseball.
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: I I gotta ask man, because I'm big on mentality.
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: They just think between the years is where you you
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: become different than like a minor league guy to a
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: guy that can get to the big leagues and now
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: a guy that can be an all star in the
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: big leagues and dominant in the big leagues. There's so
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: much about that that goes on between the years. And
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: yet you, honestly, every time we've ever talked to you,
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: just around here or where you are one of the
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: nicest guys that I've ever met as a professional athlete.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Kudos to you. You were raised right.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: But there's got to be a switch that you turn
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: on when it's time they call your number and it's
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: time for you to go in there and close this
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: game out. Is there something like on purpose that you
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: do in your mind where it's I'm flipping into I'm
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: no longer Andres Munho is the nice guy. I'm coming
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: out here to shove it on you.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: Yes, I do it. I do it on purpose. Of
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: course he's us like I got for some reason, every
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: time that I get on the mound, I get so mad,
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: I get like he's used, Like I I got that
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: feeling of oh I got them inside you of the
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: hitter did something to me before? Am I going to
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: kill him this time?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Yes? And and it's just having that mentality has helped
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: me a lot. Obviously, what's the point of my my
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: career where that was too much? And then I start
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: to lose the focus and because I I was so
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: angry that I was unable to control all my emotions.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: But when you find that between being aggressive and mad
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: and all those things, and between being a nice guy
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: and all those things, you you find the right spot.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: And then you you feel yes, you feel like you
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: have you are in control, but you are aggressive too.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: And and when you find that, uh is where I've
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: been feeling the best.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Who's who's impressed you in camp of the pictures so
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: far as any of the young kids or anybody looking
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: great out there that you've been.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Able to see.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: For me, everybody is looking great. Everybody's looking great, everybody
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: is in good shape. And I am really excited for everybody.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: And I hope the first thing is like I hope
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: everybody is healthy for the season, and and that is
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: the most important thing. Like you, you can ask for
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: something else. As soon as everybody is healthy, everybody is
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: able to do his best over there, and and and
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: we're going to have good results.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: You really do love your cat, don't you?
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, yes, we have a big love. Sometimes we
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: feel like she hates us, but I know, I know
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: that I know that that is the way that the
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: cats are. Uh. And I think that I told I
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: say this before, but the way that they are all
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: the time. Uh, they are always the saying. I put
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: that example a lot. I remember in IF one place
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: when they where they asked me about Matilda, and with
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: the thing that I like about her is like, doesn't
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: matter how good I was in the game, I can
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: be like in closing the game in one wrong game
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: or something that a lot of pressure, and how happy
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: I am for being able to do that. And as
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: soon as I got to the apartment, she received me
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: the same. She doesn't change. And when I have a
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: bad outing, it's the same thing for her, Like she's
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: going to receive the same. She doesn't change. So I
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: take that as an example of you have to be
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: the same all the time, doesn't matter how good you
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: are or how bad the outing is going. Uh, you
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: have to maintain the same mentality. You have to maintain
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: the same, especially for a.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Closing consistency, especially for Yeah, yet flushing that last bad outing.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: And you don't have many of them anymore.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: It's flushing that last bad outing and approaching in the
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: next one with the same killer mentality.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: And even when you have good outings, it's like you're
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: always going to learn something and it's always time to
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: do adjustments to be able to get better. And as
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: soon as you Rulaiza these these years, like he's become
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: easier to just maintain that uh level.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Ye like, yeah, yeah, you are awesome man, Thank you

  Speaker 6: Now we know, yeah, I mean unbelievably nice. And unless

  Speaker 1: And he did.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: He did basically give Matilda a lot of the credit
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: for how he's learned to stay even keel.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: You know, you never heard.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Anybody credit their cat, no psychological approach.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: I'm fifty and I played a lot of sports, and
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: I learned from a lot of different people, and never
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: did I ever hear anyone say my cat, my kitty
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: cat is the one that I learned, because it doesn't matter,
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: good outing, bad outing, they receive you the same. And
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: he's like, that's how I gotta be. I'm like, it's
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: got to moto gotto mato. Yes, it's the mojo from
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: Matilda Matilda Mojo. It's a I mean, he's not wrong.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: Cats do kind of They act the same, regardless good bad, different,
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah matter, they act the same.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: He's got it figured out.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: And sometimes we think she hates us.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, you know what.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: My favorite part of it was, though, is when Bucky
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: started telling his story that he was a swimmer and
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: a lot of people don't buy that story, and he
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: just interrupted you, like right away and says, I believe you.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I believe yeah.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like you might be lying to me right now,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: and uh, there's a chance that you are. And I
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: think a lot of people might think you're lying about
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: this right now. But I'm just going to tell you, you
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: know what, I believe you.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: And it was like as genuine as you can hear, right,
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: Like if I say that to Hugh, yeah, I believe you, right,
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: same exact words, but a different meaning. He said, I said, yeah,
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: I swam, that's in high school. I mean believe it
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: or not, there was one hundred some pounds ago. I know,
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: I believe you.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: It's supportive you, it's supportive, and yet also strikes that
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: you could very well be lying right now.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I start doing that to people when they're
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: telling me whoppers and yeah, you know, you know I
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: was a deadlifter, Olympic deadlifter in Nepaul.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: I believe you, I believe you.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yes, it's all using it. It sends them
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: home with a little thought of did they.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Believe Maybe I should stop lying?
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe I should stop with the bs. I was told
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the truth. It was a swimmer. We know that, and
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: yet I didn't gain eleven miles an hour and eight
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: months on my fastball.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, although I do, I do firmly believe that the
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: swimming I did in high school was why I had
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: a good arm. And my good arm is the only
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: thing that got me basically to college. It got me
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: from junior college to Elsie State. It was the thing
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: coming out. I mean, I think everybody was like, well,
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: I can hit a little bit, but he's got a
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: big he's got a big body and a good arm.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: So worst case scenarios we throw him on the bump. Well,
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: little do they know, I had no chance of throwing strike,
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: So that wasn't gonna work out that way.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Thank god I learned how to hit.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you never had a chance to celebrate Picture's
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Day with us.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to. That's good. I didn't want to
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: be a picture. I don't care how much you dabbled
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: with it. You're not that You're just not that kind.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: That's the fallback option. That's when when you when you
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: learn how to hit, you don't have to become a picture.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: You're not of that quality. No, the human to join.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Well, thanks for Andres Munos joining us said, of course,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: in typical Andres Munyo's fashion, and because he is the
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: night this person in the facility, he goes over and
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: then just an eight year old kid asks him, can
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: you show me this pitch? And he's over there just
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: showing him all of his pitching repertoire and all of
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: his grips. That is one guy to root for right there.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Pretty easy to root for. He might be one of
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: my new faves.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I think he might be all right.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Coming up next, we're gonna grab you again because there's
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: some Seahawks things to discuss, including his thoughts on what
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: this Seahawks sale could mean to the future of Seahawks football.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFMO.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Covered the spring training at Peoria, brought.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: To you by Talela Prazort Casino, also Delta Airlines.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: We flew out here on Delta Airlines. They've got your back.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: From the care they put into their safety efforts in Seattle,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: to coma international airport, to the number of fantastic deals
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: and stunning vacation destinations from Seattle, Delta is connecting you
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: to the world like never before. Log onto Delta dot
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: com right now to plan your next Delta Airlines adventure.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Uh and here we sit because of Delta all week
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: long for a spring training coverage. I mean, it's been
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: worth it just to get on Delta Airlines to just
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: hang out.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: With you Millin for a little while, don't worth it? Yeah,
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: that's worth the trip. That's basically was my whole objective.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: And then all the spring training coverage was a byproduct.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Uh huh, just added just a lot of ice.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: And really it wasn't even about hanging out with Hugh.
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: It was about getting on Delta. I wanted to fly
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: on Delta and I'm like, oh, well, I'm on this plane.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: I could talk to hang out with Hugh. And then
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: I was like, well, while I'm here, why not just
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: kick ass.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: At some interviews down here at spring training the.
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: Base I'm watching both of your faces and your body language,
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: so I know when you're lying, oh yeah, in the future,
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: I believe you.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: I'm recording you.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I believe you.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: The base ball is the I sing, here's the cake.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Hugh Mellan, he's out here just to watch them baseball,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: some spring training action here in Peoria and our QB one,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: of course we fire him into action. Come on over here,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: let's talk some football. We have been so focused on
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Mariners baseball that we haven't spent much time talking about
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: this Seattle sales, so might as well get your thoughts
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: on it. I mean, what's your reaction to the world
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: champion Seahawks bean up for sale?
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: I don't like it.
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: You know, Look, I'm not a reporter in this capacity
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: in this discussion. You'll leave Greg Bell and others for that.
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: But the reason I don't like it is I think
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: that what you've had with Paul Allen, then Jody Allen
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: just kind of listening to how they interact.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: You know, they're not entirely out.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: Of the scenes.
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: They would have periodic meetings with the head coach and
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: John Schneider, but I think the nature of those meetings were,
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: you know, to hold them accountable, but to encourage him, Hey,
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: what can we do for you? By all accounts, it
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: was an extremely positive transact or not transaction, but interaction
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: between the parties involved, and you just kind of hear
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: Mike McDonald has referenced it. I think Jody then kind
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: of carried that over. So there was meetings from time
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: to time, and that it wasn't entirely like, hey, where's
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: Jody Allen while she's on a yacht in the med
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: you know, like she was somewhat present, and so so
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: the concern first and foremost, you know, the lease on
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: the stadium is twenty thirty one. I would hope that
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: Jody Allen's number one objective when she sells is to
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: make sure she doesn't pull a Schultz right and sell
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: it to Clay Bennett type that obviously has designs on
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: moving the team, you know, so I don't know how
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: that could be worked into it, and what have you.
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: I don't know if she can afford to be selective.
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: I don't even know if if the Allen of State
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: stipulations allow her to be selective, but that that would
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: be a concern, right.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then what I don't even really want to entertain.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I would just think seems so crazy.
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: Of course, of course, look do I do I what
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: percent can you ascribe to it?
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Very minimal?
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: But it's not it's something more than zero, right, and
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: so in that regard, there's a little bit of a concern.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: And then and then so Mike McDonald has has four
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: more years on his contract and uh, and John Schneider
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: has six. If you bring in somebody that people don't
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: want to work with, then it's not that it's not
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: the case. Well they're going to fire John Schnyder Mike
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: McDonald at least not the for seeable future.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: That seems silly.
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: We're talking about the Super super Bowl champions. But do
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: they want to work with him? I mean, Troy Dannon,
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: by all reasonable standards, the the athletic director that preceded
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: Pat Chun, Troy Dannen was objectively an idiot and a buffoon.
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: And I'm not sure which was more prominent in that regard,
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: and he does not want me to tell the anecdotes
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: and the stories that lead me to that conclusion. But
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: suffice to say that was a factor for Calin de
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: Boor and his decision. I mean, and you know he
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: wasn't hired by Troy Dannon, and nobody would want to
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: work under Troy Dana uh and so so then if
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: if the Seahawks were to be purchased by an owner
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: that's really difficult to work for at some point, you
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: know how eager is you know Snygerna want Schnyder gonna
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: want to re up because he you know, would he
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: would he be like, hey, I got to get out
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: of here and kind of force his way out.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: You know, these are all worst case scenarios.
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: But you know, as yeah, we're saw you know, we
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: were Sonic fans, We've seen worst case scenario.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Right, So, and the last time you want the boat
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: rocked is when it's smooth operating so smoothly, and and
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: what out question that you're gonna have a little bit
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: of a rocking of the boat no matter what happens.
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: Oh, undoubtedly, I mean, they'll they'll probably be okay, But
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: you know, there's there's as long as as you've got
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: Schnyder making the decisions. I mean, he's kind of had
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: a rebound. You know, he was everything was so frontloaded
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: in his success for seven years, uh you know, nine
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: playoff wins, second seven years, one playoff win. Then then
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: out goes Pete Carroll. And then now look at It's
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: like he's like a trampoline. He's just bounced and and
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: and now I view this as kind of like round
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: three of his career stay you know, act three of
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: his of his uh uh performance as our general manager,
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: and it's going swimming land. So yeah, you kind of
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: think of worst case scenarios and you don't want any
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: of that.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: Typically, I mean earlier I used the analogy of you
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: don't typically see people buying billion.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Dollar homes and then tearing them down.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: You know, you might, you know, repaint the dining room,
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: you might have some sort of something. I mean, this
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: is about as nice of a house as you could
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: possibly be buying, right with the youth and the fact
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: that you're the champs at this point in time, so
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: it feels more more likely. And that's where you guys
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: are both leading to it more likely that it'll still
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: be business as usual, but there is going to be
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: some sort of ripple effect. I mean when it comes to,
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: you know, stuff along the lines of I mean, there's
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: not a ton of people in the world period that
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: can afford to do this.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Is there anybody in particular you'd be like, please?
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: No?
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: I mean some people might say Bezos, No, I don't
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: want him, he's just too dorky, or you know lightwiki, Yes,
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: sign me up for lightwiki and a group that involve him.
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Well liwiki has proven and I wouldn't have any
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: concerns about him leaving. And again I want to emphasize
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: my concerns are minimal on that. But if you get
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: if you get an outsider and he thinks when he
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: walks in, he could he could walk in and say, oh, yeah,
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: I'm going to keep this team forever. Well, then you know,
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: things can change. If if some other city you know,
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: throws a huge package Adam, he says, you know that
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: that might not be too bad, you know. So, so
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: I would say, for me, I'm rooting for Steve Walmer.
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: I know him a little bit, and uh, and I
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: think he would be just as committed.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: As you could possibly be.
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: I don't I think he he'd have an enthusiasm to him,
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: but I don't think it would be overbearing. And you
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: know so I'm to me that would be my first choice.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: As for as you know, I don't run in a
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: lot of those circles. So I can't sit there and say, well,
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: you know, here's your list of billionaires that you don't
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: want to be in business with.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: That's that's out of my lane. But I'm rooting for Balmer. No,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: let's clear up a mystery.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, Bucky and I are pretty well aware that
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: you have more money than the two of us. Nobody
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: knows how much money Hu Millan has. Do you have
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: ownership money? You got that level? How about how about
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: you you will.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Move the team?
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: You won't move the team?
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Hugh?
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: Well, I could up, I could own a couple of
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: pair of cleats custom made.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: I could probably, Yeah, I could probably. I don't know,
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: three or four. I might be able to swing four
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: or five of those pairs of cleats.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, does that qualify? So you're in? So you're
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: saying you're in.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: I'm saying there's a chance the five pair of cleats, Yes,
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: the one blindman ones, the custom ones.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Well, there's never a duble nope moment with this franchise.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you that.
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: Man, Well, there's there's too much change for my liking.
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: We we're talking about the owners. Uh, you knew one
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: of the perils of high airing a defensive coach in McDonald.
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: As much as we love him, there's zero uh, you know,
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: consternation or regret about that. That that's stating the obvious.
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: But you knew that one of the fallouts is that
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: if he hires a really good offensive coordinator and you
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: have a lot of success on the offense, that off
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: goes the offensive coordinator. That this was very predictable. It
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: was it was beyond predictable. It was actually desired. We
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: actually wanted this, this uh, this turbulence to happen, right
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: and uh and so off goes Clint Kubiak just kind
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: of when everything was hitting its groove. And and you know,
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: I single out the defensive coach because you know, when
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: you have the offensive coach, the McVeigh and the Shanahan,
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: they're losing defensive defensive coordinators left and right. But continuity
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: is more vital on the offensive side of the ball.
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: You've heard me say it before. Uh, defenses of beehive offense.
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: This is a symphony and that that there's an exaggeration
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: to it. There's symphony involved with the uh with with
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: the defense, and there's beastinging involved with the offense. But
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: but nobody would dispute that the offense needs more cohesion.
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: It's it's like a British sports car, you know, it's
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: really sweet when it's perned, you know. But the like
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: those old jack at least I grew up in the
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: area where they said jags and all you know, all that,
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: you know, they could get out of tune and all
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: break down easy. So so offenses are more susceptible to
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: you know, little little uh you know, getting out of tune.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: And so that's just that they are.
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, offense is more temperamental and and so that's just
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: something we're gonna have to live with.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, great to see you.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: We we got a little more segment and then maybe

  Speaker 2: podcast from ninety three to three KJR dot com all right,
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: one last thing, Bucky, what do you got today?
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, how we come down here and I
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: think as a show, you and Ashley and myself, I
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: think typically we're a bit more optimistic than some just
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: about this team in general. I think everybody's gonna have
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: a hint of a hint more optimism coming off of
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: last season coming.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Into this year.
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: But as our week goes on down here, it feels
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: like there's inevitably your win total kind of starts to climb.
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: You just get more kind of in the you know,
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: kind of engulfed in the atmosphere, and you start to
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: believe and feel.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: A little bit more.
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: I know tomorrow we'll probably have a little bit of
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: time of what we're feeling now. At the end of
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: our week of coverage, I'm probably thinking one.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Hundred and seventy wins, oh wow in the regular season.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm not counting postseason.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah no, yeah, just somehow they're going to win. I
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: think I feel like I'm getting carried away, but I
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: feel like it's real. I feel like there's just more
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: grit to this team. I think I think there's a
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: huge amount of you gotta sometimes bump up against the
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: wall to figure out how to get over the wall
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: the next time. I feel like that's what last year was.
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: A young team, a talented team capable of winning at
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: all last year, but they had basically had one little
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: taste of success in the in the postseason as a squad,
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: pretty much any of them, and so I feel like
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: last year was a learning situation and they're all hungry.
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: And yeah, so I'm thinking maybe two hundred and seventy
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: wins this year in the regular season. Lower you are
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: that number? Wow, Why do you have to be so pessimistic?
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: But I do kind of get the enthusiasm I think.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's a reason why they feel the most settled.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think they're out there trying to
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: make trades right now. They really like their roster already.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: They don't know the final couple, he says, just yet.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: We'll need an entire spring training to figure that out.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: But it feels like the best bullpen that they've assembled
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: going into a season. The starting rotation is the exact same,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: except the four of the five guys a a year
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: older and either in their prime or inching close to
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: their prime. I think the lineup feels its fullest that
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: we've seen, maybe in the entire Jerry Depoto era. There
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: are some concerns. Maybe we will get into a couple
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: of concerns I have about the team, and it's a
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: structure right now. Maybe we'll do that on our final
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: show tomorrow. But yeah, I'm feeling great about it, and
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: I think Ashley is too.
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: Yep, I think one hundred and sixty wins.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: So you think they're gonna lose a couple of times?
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Two times? Yeah?
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: One in the first third of the season.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Didn't know I worked for such.
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: And then people probably like on August twelve.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Man, Ollywop's going to be so pissed after those two loss.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they are.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine they're gonna lose their ever litting minds.
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: They almost got one hundred straight wins and they puked
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: all over it because.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: They didn't spend enough.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: Oh stop it, stop giving truth and I don't want
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: to hear it, Ashley.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: What you want? Last day?
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: Well, Fox Sports apparently has jokes. They put out a
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: list of the top ten Seahawks of all time. Oh yeah,
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: and they put Russell Wilson is number one. Hugh and
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: Sam Donald as number ten and then honorable mentions Earl Thomas,
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: cam Chancellor, Tyler Lockett, Matt Hasselbeck, and Steve Hutchinson.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Any one of those should be ahead of.
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: Sam Darnald first off, and Russell Wilson is not the
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: best Seahawks of all time, Like in.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: No world somebody thinks quarterback is and we all recognize
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: quarterback is the most important position, not just in football
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: but in American professional sports.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: But somebody likes them a little too much, way too much.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Somebody's making lists out there giving him a little too
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: much credit.
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: It sound Sam Darnold is great, but he can't be
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: in the top ten Seahawks list of all time after
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: one damn season. I agreed, ridiculous their whole list, like sports,
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: come on, be better that I am.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: It's dumb.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: That's the problem though, when we react to these things,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: because I think somebody's doing that just to get that
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: reaction and just to get retweeted.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: From people saying that they're idiots.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: I just never really operated in that world.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: You might think that I'm doing that on purpose because
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: of some of my opinions you might find out landish,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: but I just can't bring myself to say something stupid
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: just so it gets reaction.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: Intentionally stupid.
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: But I think maybe that's I'm an idiot, and that's
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: not fun.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, yeah, I don't like you just raise my
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: hand and announce that I'm an idiot.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: I'd like people to figure it out over time.
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: Let me be an accidental idiot, not to do it
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: on purpose.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, speaking of articles, hopefully it's not idiotic.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: I've been writing an article per day down here, a
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: little blog up on ninety three three KJR dot com.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure we haven't posted yet.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: I got a late to Ashley here this morning because
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: I had a few other things to tie up.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: But we do have a bullpen sort.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Of right up.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Because I think this bullpen's.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Gonna be really really good this year, and because of
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: so many other exciting things to talk about, it might
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: have slipped underneath the radar, but I wanted to make
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: sure that I pointed out in the upcoming blog about
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: the bullpen that I think that they may have assembled
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: on paper their best one yet and a pretty good
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Jerry Depoto era for assembling bullpens. That's a pretty big statement.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I think if they finished in the top ten inp
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: top eight in bullpenny R three of the last four years.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: So they're pretty good at this. And they might have
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: put together their best one yet. Well, they are good
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: at it. They've proven that.
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's not it hasn't been like a well
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: sometimes they hit and sometimes it is. It's pretty much
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: all the time they figure out a way to put
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: a good rotation in your bullpen together. I mean, you
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: don't always have every piece of it workout. Well, nobody does. No,
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: nobody is going to have no part of your You
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: can't start a season with a starting lineup and a
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: starting rotation and in a bullpen and just nail every
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: single one of them. They all turn out perfect. That's
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: just not the way the sports work. And so and
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: yet the bullpen does this. This organization does seem to
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: have a trick up their sleeve when whatever it is
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: that they assess and how they figure this guy's really
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: close if we just tweak this or we just use
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: him in this way, and then it all of a
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: sudden comes to fruition. They've turned a lot of people's
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: junk into treasures here in the in the Maryor's bullpen.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: And I'm with you. I think this year could be
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: the best yet.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: All right, that's going to do it for us tomorrow.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Here's what I know for a fact. Justin Hollander is
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: going to be on our program tomorrow. Alvin Davis is
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: going to be on our program tomorrow. I would imagine
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: we're going to get that guy, maybe you've heard of
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: him as he walks across the path, Edgar Martine, guy
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: by the name of Edgar Martinez, who's agreed to come
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: on with us.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Hopefully we can pin that down for you tomorrow.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: And of course we got Josh Naylor that we're really
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: hoping to nailer down for an interview tomorrow. So one
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: more show out here from the Desert. Thanks again for
