  Speaker 2: A smidgeon and then we'll see. No, you want everything,

• 2:03
  Speaker 2: it just walked.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: In andershearstl the US soccer hat on. He's flying the flag.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah he is he's ready for that.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Mediocre soccer team. We're going to talk about it, he says.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: He wouldn't call it mediocre.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, I know, you know what.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I'm going to start off with just one question. We're
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: a week away from a World Cup? Yes, is your
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: World Cup hype?
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: What's your level? One to ten?
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Are you?
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Is your bucket full?
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Or you got a waste?
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: I'm a little I don't want to say bias because
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: it's a different way of putting it, but I'm in
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: a little different category than most fans because we're doing
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: a lot of stuff for it, and it's just in
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: the last few days started to ramp up like big time.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So along with that goes the hype for me.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: But I'm also seeing a lot of stuff like I
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: posted something on on Twitter yesterday where all the Argentina
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: fans are flooding New York City right now and it's
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: like they're chanting everything. So you can tell that the
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: hype is starting to build a little bit more. I'd
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: say on a scale from one to ten, it's at
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: about like a six or seven. All Right, Well that's good,
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: So how do we watch? What's the anders Hurst World Cup?
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: Primer to get us.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: You know, so how how we watch these games and
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: what is important to follow in what's kind of.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Like ahead of time before it starts, Yeah.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: But before it starts, and then also maybe in the
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: in the before the knockout round, because I think a
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: lot of American fans like really only start paying attention
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: to it when the brackets start you get knocked the
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: knockout round.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well I would recommend watching. I mean, obviously that's
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: when it does get more exciting, but watching everything is
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: important because there's a chance. I mean, I'm not I
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: think the US will move on, but because of how
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: the World Cup, you know, pans out, you don't you
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: might not even make it to the knockout round, right,
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: So you got to get past group play first. So
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: the way it works is you play against the other
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: three teams in your in your group, and you know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: first and second place move on automatically to the knockout round.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: And they actually have a couple of wild cards this
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: year because it's forty eight teams instead of just thirty two.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: So there will be, you know, a pretty good chance
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: that US moves on. I think they're probably either one
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: or two in their group, But you never know if
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: just playing three games, Like it's not like one hundred
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: and sixty two games season in baseball, So it's gonna
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: be one of those situations where there's urgency off the rip,
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: and that's one of the reasons why I like it.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: So in terms of what to look for, I think
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: the US getting a result in that first game is
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: going to be huge.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: What is that first game?
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: I believe it's June sixteenth, I want to fifteenth.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I think it's Une fifteenth. But who are they playing?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Sorry, Panama Paraguay. I get those two mixed up all
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: the time.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: So yeah, because the group d US, Paraguay, Australia, Turkey,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: who should we be most concerned about Turkey?
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: For sure, it's US and Turkey there too, like kind
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: of top ends. You know a lot of people think
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Turkey could be number one, US number two. US could
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: be number one, Turkey's number two. I think you could
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: go either way with those, and there's ways that it
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: can play out that's a little bit different, depending on
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: you know, what happens with the first couple of games.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: If US wins VERSUS Paraguay and then beats Australia, they've
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: already moved on. They've they've clinched moving on, So maybe
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: that third game for Turkey, they don't necessarily need to
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: play all their starters and stuff like that. So there's
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: just so much going on, And I also would recommend
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: not just watching the US games if you want to
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: maybe dip your toe into it a little bit more.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: There's a ton of superstar talent, like you guys, I
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: heard you talking about the NBA last segment, and it's
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: kind of soccer's in a very similar place as the
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: NBA is because they you're kind of retiring. All these
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: like Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar are all playing in their last
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: World Cup. This time we all thought that was gonna
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: be twenty twenty two. I still a minute they still
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: end up being here in twenty twenty six. But there's
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: a ton of kind of up and coming talent that
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: hasn't yet established itself as like full on superstars. So
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: I think this is like a big opportunity that a
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: lot of players end up doing that. So there's always
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: one player that no one's ever heard of that kind
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: of comes out of nowhere and then all of a
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: sudden they turn into a superstar.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Because of seven games in a World Cup.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: So okay, so I do have a question. Well, I
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: guess it's not really a question, but my thought. Most
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: of the time we we're watching the World Cup, it's
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: being played in a completely different part of the country.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in a completely different time zone.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: You're waking up at all hours of the night to
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: try to watch if you're a US as part of
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the experience, right, But this year, I love that we
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: get to watch it, and I mean not only our
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: own time zone obviously would be on the East Coast
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: as well, but we get to watch it in like.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Time zones we can operate.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how much of a difference do you think that's
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: going to make just for US soccer fans or casual fans.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm like you, I've only watched it where it's
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: like six o'clock in the morning you have to wake up,
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: like you know. I remember doing the twenty fourteen World Cup.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: I was in Hawaii, so it was extra early. So
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: watching that one, thankfully it was just in Brazil, wasn't
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: all the way and guitars, so the timelines were.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as different.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I think it'll be great because it's more
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: like the time of day where American sports fans watching
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: sports right right, and it's but it's also one of
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: the things I kind of like about it. I equated
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: a little bit to the kind of NCAA tournament basketball,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: because there's games going on in all parts of the
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: day for the first, you know, two weeks of the tournament,
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: so you can kind of dip your foot in kind
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: of like, oh, let's see what World Cup is on?
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: What World Cup game is on today?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: And then there's like the studio shows that bounce back
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: and forth between all the stuff, and they there's always
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: something on. So that's that's one of the reasons why
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: everyone kind of sinks their teeth into it a little
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: bit more.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Is there anybody other than the US that's coming to
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Seattle that's any good?
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Belgium is And Belgium is the team that knocked out
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: the US in twenty fourteen, They're a good team. I
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: would say, I think the US is probably still better
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: than them. I'm pretty high on the US going into
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: this tournament, to be honest. I like their coach, I
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: like their kind of talent level is just at the
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: right age. Right in twenty twenty two, they're really young.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: Now they're kind of all in their prime. But Belgium,
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: in terms of their timeline, they were they had their
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: quote unquote Golden Generation in like twenty eighteen about and
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: a lot of those same players are still there. So
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: they're just kind of one last ride sort of thing
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: and a lot of that stuff. But they're still a
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: good talented team. But they're definitely not as good as
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: they were maybe like seven or eight years ago.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Obviously we talked about us being in Pool D, but
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: what other pools if you're looking at it, like again
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: for a casual fan or someone who just watches during
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: World Cup, Like I'm not a massive soccer fan, but
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I will watch World Cup.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I love World Cup. So what other I mean?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at like group A Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Checchia,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Like would that be?
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I guess I don't know.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: You know, every four years, which teams are as good
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: as they were last time?
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there really isn't a quote unquote group of death,
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: which is what you kind of hear a lot, except
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: well not really I'm looking at there's always maybe No,
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: there's not really a group of death.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: El England, Croatia, Ghana Panama that.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: That's a tough one. I mean, gone is always good.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: England's one of the favorites. Croatia could be very hit
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: or miss, very similar to Belgium. They like are just
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: finishing their golden generation, but they could still have one
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: last ride in them.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at maybe Group.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: I, France is one of the favorites, Senegal, the US
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: just played in their build up, and then Norway has
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: one of the best players in the world, but their
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: team around him is like, it's good, but it's not
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: like World Cup winning caliber, I would say, but you know,
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: he could carry them to some wins here and there,
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: so you never know what can happen there. Then I'm
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: looking at Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Tunisia and Group F there's
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: a possibility that's a really good group. And then honestly,
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: Group CE, Brazil, Morocco and Scotland are three decent teams.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: It's they did a good job this year of not
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: really Group I mean, obviously it's it's a lottery situation
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: where you're picking the names, but it didn't get loaded
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: exactly right. And then in years past there's been like, oh,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: there's three teams that can win the World Cup in
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: one group, right, there's none of those this year where
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: I think you're gonna have probably the best teams move on.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: A lot of that comes with adding what twelve teams
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: to our sixteen teams, Yeah, to the World Cup, going
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: from thirty two to forty eight, so it kind of
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: spreads out the town a little bit.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Well, and we know too, you can't rig a lottery, so.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Never no, no, unless you asked Chuck, Yeah, then Chuck
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: definitely definitely a letter. So the US, You're you're more
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: optimistic than some on the US because I know that,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: you know, after we came out of the last World Cup.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Ever, it's like.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Twenty twenty six, this is the year, man, this is
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: where we're all going to be good and they're gonna
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: make the final eight or beyond. Blah blah blah. What
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: has happened in the last four years to dampen many Americans'
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: hopes of their chances this year?
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: Yes, So the way it works is the international soccer calendar.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Every four years obviously is the World Cup, but then
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: in between that, every usually four years, is what's called
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: the Copa America, which is kind of the second biggest
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: tournament and the US was and usually that's just South America,
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: but they added North America teams as part of the
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: Copa America. So it was a good like build up
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: test for the US national team before this World Cup.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: This is two years ago, and they stunk out loud
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: in that tournament. They looked like they were completely outmatched,
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: and it subsequently made them fire their coach, and that
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: the coach that led them in their last World Cup,
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: Greg Burlter, left and then they hired the current coach,
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Mauricio Pochettino.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: And he's Argentinian, right, he is Argentinian.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: Yes, well done, well done he And it's interesting because
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: a lot of people had questions about this Number one,
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: he's not American, which you know, the US have had
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: non American coaches before Jurgen Klinsman in twenty fourteen.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Worked out okay.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: But the biggest thing is he has a ton of
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: European club experience and he's, you know, a very successful
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: coach in the club level. This is the first time
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: the US has really dipped their toes into like the
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: big name coaches a market, kind of just bringing in
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: the best guy for the job. And he's known for
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: developing younger talent and getting kind of a group and
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: good in tournament play. Right, So there's two different types
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: of soccer schedules during the club season. There's like your
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: regular league, who is like if you're really good at
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: you know, playing in the regular season, think regular season
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: versus playoffs or baseball. There's a regular season good there's
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: a good regular season coach, and then there's a good
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: playoffs coach.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: He's known for being a good like Cup coach, which
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: is playoffs, so like a couple games, but just rallying
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: and doing exactly what you need to do to win
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: that specific game. I think he's good at. Plus like
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: the players themselves. Christian poolistics obviously the biggest star. He
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: has been very hit or miss in his last couple
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: of years with his club seasons, So that's kind of
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: the first thing you follow. And then there was just
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: a lot of I don't want to say turmoil, but
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: like where's this gonna go?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Because with all of the.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: Everything leading up to the firing of Greg burlter Raco,
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Pochettino only got like two years, maybe year and a
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: half to set everything up for this, and this is
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: like it's so much to do and so little time,
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: and when you're not seeing your players every day like
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: a club coaches, then it can there's sometimes it just
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: it doesn't work out. And a lot of people thought
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: that would be the case. And I honestly, before like
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: the last maybe month or so, I think that I
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: was like very skeptical. It was like, man, like, there's
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: a lot of hope on this tournament and the US,
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: it just doesn't seem like things are clicking. They never
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: really had in their regular international friendlies that they would
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: do sporadically throughout the year, they never had their best
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: eleven players. So then they finally in their first World
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Cup build up game against Senegal the one I mentioned,
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: I was like on Tuesday or maybe Saturday, actually they
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: had their best eleven players and like they have their
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: whole World Cup squad that they announced and they they
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: looked really good and I'm like, whoa. And there were
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: a couple quotes leading up to that that like the
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: players themselves were like, this is the most together we've
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: ever been. Were like as confident as we've ever been,
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: and like, especially being at home, it's a Pewede World
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: Cup and we're ready to kind of you know, to
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: get things going here. And I was like, okay, well
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: then show me. And then they showed me in that
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: And I know it's just one game, but there was
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: I've always been a fan of and I thought the
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: US what was holding them back?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: This is going to sound familiar.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: What was holding them back in twenty twenty two was
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: their coach and their tactical decisions parenters. And you know,
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying they would have won the World Cup
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: with a different coach, but they could have achieved more.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: And I'm a big fan of this coach, so I
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: think he's gonna come in and kind of get that
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: extra little to ten percent out of them that you know,
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: previous coaches couldn't.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: So we all know about you know, your Argentina's, your Germany's,
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: your France's, right, I want to know who you were
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: dark horse candidate in this World Cup is.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: So it's funny because Ian asked me that when we
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: were talking some sports betting, and I think a good
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: value bet for those who like that kind of stuff
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: is Portugal.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: And that hurts me to say, yeah.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: Because it might they honestly might. I think they've actually
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: trended up a little bit to be honest. So it's
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: interesting because you know, I'm I'm I'm a US fan
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: number one. My wife's from Argentina, so I root for
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: them as well, and then that obviously makes me loyal
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: to Messi. There's a big messy versus Ronaldo rivalry, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: that sounds messy. Yeah, it does sound messy. It is
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: very messy. And there was all this goat talk with
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: them too, and then when Messi won in twenty twenty two,
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: it was like, Okay, now he's the goat.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: It's not even close. And then if Porch gored win
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: this year, it would be like, oh, the talks back on.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: So not exactly that I'm you know, rooting for that,
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: But I do think they have a really good team
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: this year, and it's it's one of those situations where
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: I don't think there's actually a huge favorite. I think
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: France is flawed. To answer your question, Travis, I think
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: England is flawed. I think Spain is flawed. Usually in
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: the last like maybe ten fifteen, twenty years, you going
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: into a World Cup, there's like a powerhouse team that
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: I felt like, Okay, it's their tournament to lose. I
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: don't have that feeling this year. I think you can
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: point out aspects of teams. France's attack is fantastic, but
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: they're kind of lacking in the midfield and defense a
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: little bit, and their coach is pretty old.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: He might not adapt. Spain are kind of up and coming,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: but they're very young.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: They don't really have They have a really good defense,
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: really good midfield, and they have one really good player
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: and attack, but they're they don't have like the goal scorer,
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: a pure goal scorer that you need to win tournaments
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: like this. I think Brazil could be good because they're
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: like everyone loves Brazil going into these tournaments, but it's
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: probably their worst and least talented team that I've seen
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: in my lifetime. But they have the best coach that
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: they've ever had, so this is another one of those
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: situations where you never know that he could get the
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: most out of them. So and then Portugal kind of
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: is a very good in all areas, not elite in
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: any and I think that's going to be a good
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: team moving forward. In terms of dark Dark Dark dark Horse,
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: I mean to win it or are we just talking
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: to make a run here, Travis.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Just to make a run, make it interesting?
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: US, all right, I think we can get to the semifinals.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: And we've got a sounder on the US finals.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got a sounder on.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: I mean I think the expectation should be to make
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: the quarterfinals, because that's something that we haven't done since
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: ninety four.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: I want to say, do we know what group we
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: would play in the round of sixteen? I guess it's
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: not even the round I think we played like the
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: first knockout. I think we played Belgium. So I think
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: we can beat Belgium. Okay, so, and that would be
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: a little revenge for twenty fourteen because thats what we
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: played in the round of sixteen and twenty fourteen as well. Yeah,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I think you play in the round of thirty two
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: and then you play in the round of sixteen. By
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: the way, if the US get to the round of sixteen,
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: they played Seattle, so.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, well and that was I mean, obviously we've got
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: this going on on the big North American stage, but
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: we've also got it going on here in Seattle locally.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, there is a ton of crap going on
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: for the World Cup. We're gonna have Pioneer Square closed.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: You know, every match day so that it can be
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: a pedestrian only zone. Actually I think it's closed. Is
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: it closed the whole time?
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: I think just game days.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: During game days, they're building a barge out in Elliott
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Bay that's gonna have. I kind of was confused at first.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I thought they were it was like, could be have
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: soccer matches played on it? But then I think it's
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: just a big party bar.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: No, there's a field on it. Oh, there is a field.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: That's what I thought.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: I was like, I don't know, No, I lost the ball.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: What happens?
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Get it?
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: What happens?
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think so, So it's I mean the whole
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: city is just it's gonna explode.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I know there's a lot of talk about
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: you know, does it feel like there's a lot of
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: hype around this World Cup. I'm telling you, as soon
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: as that first US game plays, maybe even the first game,
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: you will see it absolutely explode. Especially if they win,
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: and even if, like maybe the US is better worse
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: than I expected them to be this year and they
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: kind of flame out a little bit, whatever, you'll still
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: see people from all over the world coming in and
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: just absolutely soaking all of this up. You'll you'll find
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: yourself to turning tuning into it just at random times
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: because at that time of the year, there's not really
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: much else going on besides baseball, and it's just it's
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: gonna be a ton of fun and I highly recommend.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: I know there's a lot of people that are like,
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: oh yeah, whenever I mentioned that I'm a soccer fan,
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, I don't really watch a ton of soccer,
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: but I will during the World Cup. And there's a
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: reason for that, yeah, exactly, And it's it's it's just
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: such a good time and I'm I'm pretty hyped. I'm
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: also very not nervous, but anxious about everything that we're
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: doing here at.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: kJ Well, and that was gonna be my next question.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Why don't you tell us fill us in because obviously
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: we're going to be like the home of World Cup.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: We got a lot going on.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so I don't know if we've actually had an
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: official announcement, but I guess this is it. So yeah,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: I mean, I mean we have promos playing. We're fine, Yeah,
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: we're fine. We're gonna be hosting and the pre game,
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: the halftime, and the post game of forty four matches
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: during the World Cup.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: It's going to be playing.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: Across the iHeart country. Uh here in Seattle. We got
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: a ton of really good analysts, good hosts, and it's
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: just it's gonna be a huge celebration.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I always call it.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: The month long fest the football, and it's it's gonna
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: be a ton of fun. You know, Jackson and I
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: are going to be the kind of two main hosts.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: And then we obviously got a ton of really good
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: soccer experience coming in the analyst role. You'll hear us
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: in pregame, halftime, in postgame, and then we'll have well,
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: you'll be able to listen to I got to get
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: the wording right on this. You'll be able to listen
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: to every single game on the iHeart app. But forty
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: four of the games will be played either on ninety
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: three point three or nine to fifty. So anytime you're
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: out and about doing stuff during the World Cup, or
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: maybe you just want to hear our voices, you can.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: You can hear us having some World Cup coverage for
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: the entirety of the tournament.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I love that, and I think yeah for people saying like, oh,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not really seeing the hype I mean World Cup
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: is a week away, but the first game here is
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: not till June fifteenth, so we're like a week.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: And a half away from that.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: And when Belgium and Egypt that's a noon game, I
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: mean that that's it's gonna be madness down there and
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: you're going to really start to the energy. I think
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: just the weekend before that as everyone's coming into well.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: And it's not just the big names too. I think
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: a lot of people look at the teams that are
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: coming to Seattle and it was like like, kind of
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: what you asked, is there a good team that's coming
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: here that? And it's not just about that with the
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: World Cup. There's always these these kind of countries that
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: barely sneak in and that just are happy to be there,
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean. It's the sixteen seed or
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: the twelve seed in the NC Doboy Tournament, right, and
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: their fans always have this amazing story, and then there's
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: always one Cinderella, right, and everyone kind of follows them like, oh,
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: what are Florida Gulf Coasts going to do this time?
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: And there's one of those every single time Morocco made
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: it to the semifinals in twenty twenty two, right, that
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: was a huge run for them. So there's always those
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: types of stories that you can get behind as well.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: So while maybe the US centric or the superstar centric
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: side of things, it's like, Okay, where's this you know,
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: excitement that I was expecting to see with this huge tournament.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: It's gonna be there in always when the gamest art,
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: and uh, there has been a lot of talk about,
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: you know, stuff going on with you know, the city
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: and FIFA, and there's a lot of controversy with people getting.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: In and stuff like that hotel. Yeah, and it's just
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: that all that will go away.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean this unfortunately, Like I'm not one to
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: advocate for that because I think it's a big deal
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: to you know, voice concerns when there is stuff like that.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: But once the games start, that's what's going to be
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: the main.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Field, right right, because there's no games right now exactly
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: on something exact, let's focus on complaining about exactly stuff
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: exactly the build up to it. Yeah, I can get
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: ten to one on Portugal right now. There you go.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: It's pretty good like that. I like, what what ranking
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: are they in the odds? They are.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: So France is at seventeen percent, Spain is at sixteen percent,
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: England at ten yeah, and then Argentina Portugal at nine percent.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: I'd probably say that's a good ranking. I think Argentina
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: and Portugal are better than England, so those are good values. There.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: For a while Brazil was trading higher than eight. Yeah. Okay, okay,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: good to know.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: And then there's a fairly decent gap to Germany and Netherlands.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's kind of where it falls off to
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: the teams I don't think can win it, but you
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: never know, can make a run. And you can also
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: if you're into that kind of stuff. We'll talk about
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: this with the end on Friday, so we'll be at
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: the casino. You can also do different stuff like to
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: make the quarterfinal. Like I placed a you know, small
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: wager on the US making the semi final because I
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: was just like, hey, make a run.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: What kind of odds are they getting for that?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Have to look I'd have to look. Hold on, let
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: me pull it up.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: As US is one. I can put a dollar on
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: the US and win one hundred bucks.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, to win, to win the whole thing, win
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: the whole thing, I mean why not. I don't think
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: they're gonna win the tournament, but I do think there's
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: a small chance that they end up going to the Okay,
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: so I got a ten percent chance on them.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: That's so I got you got nine to one or
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: something like that. Yeah, plus eight forty two or something
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: like that. So a right, not too bad. It's like
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: talking about taxes.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: My eyes just clazed over.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, thank you Anders.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling the hype a little bit more so I
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: appreciate you coming in and talking to us about it.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: It's very exciting one week away.
• 25:04

• 25:05
  Speaker 5: soccer fan, and this is kind of my time of
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: year or my once every four years, I should say,
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: but just embrace it. For those of you who might
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: be skeptical of it, have some fun with it, and hey,
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: if it's not your thing.

  Speaker 2: We're still continuing. With the one series. That's what I'm
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: trying to say there. And on Thursdays we go out
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: of town so we can chat with someone who might
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: have a little bit more experience than us with the newcomers.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Today we are heading to Dallas. We are chatting with
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News. Good morning, Joseph.
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, good morning. How you guys doing.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: We are We are great. Thank you so much for
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: joining us.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: We've tasked you today with helping us learn more about
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Seahawks newcomer Dante Fowler Junior.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Are you think you're up for the task.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: I think I'm up to the task.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, good good.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I was reading just kind of, you know, trying to
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: learn a little bit more about Dante Fowler before our conversation,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: and I saw an old Sports Illustrated article that said
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: that the Seahawks struck gold on signing Dante Fowler Junior,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of it having to do with his contract
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: in his salary at two point five million worth up
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: to five million.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: So what are we getting?
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Did we in fact strike gold by getting Dante Fowler Junior?
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: I mean, hey, if it works out anyway like your
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: last Cowboys to Seahawks acquisition worked out with de Marcus Lawrence.
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: I think it would be striking gold. But I'll be honest,
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: I think that's a little bullish if we're being completely
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: honest about the current state of Dante Fowler. I think
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: one thing and fourth noting when it comes to Dante
• 27:58
  Speaker 9: Paler and kind of what happen and not only last
• 28:01
  Speaker 9: year with the Cowboys, but in previosiderations.
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: With the Cowboys, is that you know that he's someone
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: that that.
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: Flashes, right, He's got a lot of talent. Obviously, he
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: was a third overall pick for a reason. You know,
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: had the torn acl pretty quickly and then bounce back.
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: But he's had you know, some ups and downs, right
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: if you go look at you know, his twenty twenty
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: four season in Washington, this was someone who you know,
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: he followed being Quinn there after being with the Cowboys
• 28:23
  Speaker 9: for a little bit at double digit sacks, he looked
• 28:25
  Speaker 9: like the you know, flashy, juicy edge rusher that you
• 28:29
  Speaker 9: kind of would hope that he would be. And then
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: you know, he kind of came to the Cowboys and
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: they gave him a decent amount of money to come back,
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: and they had high expectations and it kind of just
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: wasn't you know there last year. The juice definitely wasn't
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: as evident as you know, some might have hopes. And
• 28:41
  Speaker 9: I'll say this when it comes to the Cowboys defense
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: last year, I kind of put a little bit of
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: an asterisk on everyone, Yeah, because it was such it
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: was so bad, you know, I mean in terms of
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: eta allow they had the you know, worst etl Autter
• 28:53
  Speaker 9: play in the NFL in the last five seasons. Obviously
• 28:56
  Speaker 9: most points allowed in the NFL last year. So with
• 28:59
  Speaker 9: it one person, you know, definitely not right. But I
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: don't think that they got the you know, impact that
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: they were hoping in the return of Dante Faler last year.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Jose, I'm sure you watched quite a bit of Seahawks
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: football since they had a lot of games that were
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: very big last year. So I can ask you this
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: question versus if it was kind of a team that
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: nobody ever saw on national TV, how and where do
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: you think he fits with the Mike McDonald defense.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think you know, he's kind of got
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: to go specifically to.
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: To odenderde too, you know, as someone that you know
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: knows him pretty well and even when it comes to
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: last season, you know, his son is a scout here
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: for the Cowboys, right, so in terms of, hey, what
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: went wrong quote unquote right or what went right? Or
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: what should they look for in terms of evaluating him,
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: you know, they he's got a pretty good, you know
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: voice there in his own family to kind of get
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: a look at what happened.
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: To Dantey fell on the Cowboys last year.
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: And I think in terms of what he would do
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: in Mike McDonald defense, you know, I kind of I
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: think of it this way. You know, with some of
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: these teams that you know, Strike Golding win a super Bowl,
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: you know they're really trying to just you know, round
• 29:59
  Speaker 9: off the edges a little bit. They're trying to get
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: guys that can come in and.
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: Do specific roles.
• 30:03
  Speaker 9: And I think if you get Dante Faler, especially you know,
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: off the season where he might be a little bit
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: more motivated to make some plays and you know, excited
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: to kind of try to replicate his twenty twenty four status,
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: I think if you bring him in as a rotational
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: pass rusher and someone that can flash kind.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: Of a little bit of that speed off the edge,
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: Like that's.
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: Something I think you would kind of hope for, you know,
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: with a Mike McDonald defense in the Seahawks in twenty
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: twenty six. He's got the ability, you know, and I
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: think when you've you've seen it work out, you know,
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: not as consistent as you you know, you might have
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: hoped for, right, but when it has worked out for
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: Dante Faler, it's been really effective. And I think if
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: you're a Seahawks fan, that's what you're kind of hoping for,
• 30:38
  Speaker 9: is that all the mass works out, that Dante Faler
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: can kind of replicate what he did in Washington in
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: twenty twenty four.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: And Okay, so yeah, I was gonna say you mentioned
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: obviously he's two years removed from double digit sacks. The
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Seahawks defense isn't known for just racking up sack numbers.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: But I think if we were to try to put
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: a quantitative number on, you know, if Seahawks fans said, Okay,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: what do you think I'm going to get out of him?
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Number wise? How many tackle?
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: What should I consider a success or what should I
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: consider a successful season for Dante Fowler in his first
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: year with the Seahawks.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Where do you think we should realistically land there?
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's a good question.
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: And I think if we're talking kind of the high end,
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: optimistic angle and then this, you know, Seahawks fans might
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: be like, wait, what that's it. I think genuinely, if
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: you've got like seven sacks out of him, six seven
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: sacks out of him, well the sacks team on yeah,
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: third downs, you know, I mean in like pivotal situations,
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: you know, whether it's against you know, the Rams and
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: or the Niners or any other team that's contending kind
• 31:32
  Speaker 9: of the NFC, like in a win or go home type,
• 31:34
  Speaker 9: you know, like that's the kind of Dante Faller juice
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: you want. You know, it might not be the consistent
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: every down player anymore, but if you can get someone
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: who can come off the edge, you know, and he's
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: got a knack for force and fumbles too, you know,
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: in kind of the backside of quarterbacks. I think if
• 31:49
  Speaker 9: you could get something like that's the high end. And
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: I think if you can.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: Get that, Seahawks fans should be thrilled what he can bring.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Can he stop the run at all? Or is he
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: just going to be a third and seven guy?
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: I mean, he could stop the run a little bit,
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: but like I think in terms of you guys obviously
• 32:05
  Speaker 9: know the Seahawks more than me, But when I think
• 32:07
  Speaker 9: of like what the Seahawks have already and what they
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: might be looking for, and you know, when you think
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: about what he's done, and you know the money that
• 32:14
  Speaker 9: they're giving him, I would look at him more as
• 32:16
  Speaker 9: just a guy that can bring some pass rush, you know,
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: maybe a subpackage type of guy that can come in
• 32:21
  Speaker 9: and flash and speed. You know, when I think about
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: Dante Fowler's just kind of time with the Cowboys, and
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: I didn't really see this last year, but when you
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: go back to twenty twenty three and some of the
• 32:28
  Speaker 9: seasons before that, you know, I kind of said, sometimes
• 32:32
  Speaker 9: he's got like a wrecking ball Miley's IRUs mentality, where like,
• 32:35
  Speaker 9: all of a sudden, you would just see him just
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: you know, sprint in and fly in and you know,
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: kind of a little bit almost.
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: Chicken with the head cut off, a little bit type
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: of you.
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: Know, running in there. And I think if you get
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: that version of him in sub packages and someone can
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: get out to the quarterback, that's pretty much the ideal
• 32:49
  Speaker 9: I think for what he could do in twenty twenty six.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: All Right, Joseph Hoyite Dallas Morning News with us talking
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: about Dante Fowler Junior. And before we let you go,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I just have one more question for you. Obviously, DeMarcus
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Laura was a huge had a huge impact on the
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Seahawks last year. We've heard that DeMarcus Lawrence is the
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: reason that Dante Fowler Junior is here. And we know
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: that the Seahawks really value the chemistry that they've got
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: going on in the locker room and as a team.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: So chemistry wise, locker room wise, teammate wise, what are
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: we getting from Dante Fowler.
• 33:17
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Dante's you know, if you talk to him, he's
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: a really chill guy. You know, he's someone that, like
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: I think he can he can kind of, you know.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: Blend in with a lot of different cultures.
• 33:27
  Speaker 9: I think the fact that also that you know, DeMarcus
• 33:30
  Speaker 9: Lawrence being a kind of a selling card, Yeah, for
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: him to kind of come there, I think is interesting
• 33:34
  Speaker 9: and that means that he he flows with what de
• 33:36
  Speaker 9: Marcus Lawrence wants to do.
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think ultimately at the end of you.
• 33:39
  Speaker 9: Know, DeMarcus Lawrence's time with the Cowboys, you know, they
• 33:41
  Speaker 9: had Michael Parsons there, too, like there was a little
• 33:43
  Speaker 9: bit of like, you know, okay, there's two different types
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: of cultures kind of developing on the defensive side of
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: the ball.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: There was which side are you on?
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: A little bit.
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: I think the fact that if Dante is enticed by
• 33:54
  Speaker 9: DeMarcus Lawrence's mentality, I think that's a good sign for
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: what he could do in terms of the overall locker
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: room in Seattle.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: All Right, see, you were up for the task. You
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: did it. We appreciate it.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: Well, thank you very much.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Thank you for coming on. That is Joseph Hooyd of
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Morning News. Okay, I feel good. I feel
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: like we've got to I mean, obviously we what I
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: think we kind of knew that we weren't getting the superstar,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: but I think we do have the chance of getting
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: somebody who can still give us, especially in those big moments,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: give us some key plays.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: A specific skill set that I don't really think this
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: team has. Yeah, like I don't, I don't. I can't
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: think of a guy on this team that's just like
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: designated pass rusher, you know, because most of our guys,
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: and Mike McDonald likes these guys, most of our guys
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: are just well rounded defensive linemen. They can stop the run,
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: they can do more than Yeah, but it's not bad
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: to just have in your back pocket like a guy
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: that's like, go get that guy with the ball right there. Yeah,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: I'll take it. I'll take it.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: And it is exciting too, because then you start thinking, okay, gosh, really,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: what is going on in that Mike McDonald mine back there.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: As he's like picking these pieces, you're like, oh, yeah,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: he's got some big plans for twenty twenty six. He's
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: just able to kind of be like, no, I need
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: one of these, I need one of these. I mean,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I'm excited. I'm excited, so thank you again.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: To wait a second. The season's over already because the
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Rams got milescare Remember haven't you heard that the last
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: forty eight hours that the season's over and we shouldn't
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: even play because the Rams won the off season. I
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: just see my banner on Twitter. I did see the
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Rams congratulations they won the off season.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: How does that counter though, because when the schedule came out,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I had the Seahawks winning every game, so the season
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: was over for me.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Then Oh, I see, well, I mean we're definitely gonna
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: lose twice to the ram. We're gonna have not that
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: three times because they're way better than us.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Now we've got a real battle to fourteen to no teams.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: As one of our listeners pointed out on the text line,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: could be meeting up on Christmas Day.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: It'll be fun.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: It'll be fun, all right. Thank you again to Joseph
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News. That was our Seahawks
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: one series. I don't know if we'll be doing it tomorrow,
• 35:51

• 35:52

• 35:57

• 36:56
  Speaker 2: telling you. Okay, So something big happened yesterday and Seahawks
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: fans definitely had to take notice. Russell Wilson submitted a
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: three and a half minute video to social media announcing
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: his retirement without actually.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Saying he was retiring.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: So I think what we'll do is we'll listen to
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: some of it first and then we'll chat about it,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: I remember the moment I fell in love with football,
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: waking up before sunrise with my dad and brother, deep
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: post routes and moonballs. Yeah, that's where it all began.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: But somewhere along the way, I love for football term
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: to more than just passion. It was an obsession. You've
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: been my joy, my peace, my safe place. You taught
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: me discipline, faith and resilience, how to keep believing no
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: matter the circumstances. You've given me purpose and opportunity, opportunity
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: to inspire others in great change, to continue to evolve
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: the game, not just for me, but for the next
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: generation of ballers. You've also given me the greatest gift
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: of all family. Every coach who believed in me. He
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: helped shape me into the man I am today. To
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: Coach Carol, thanks for taking a chance on young five
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: to eleven black kid from rich and Virginia that was
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: told he was too small to ever make it in
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: the NFL. We knew what win.
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: It was like.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: And to every teammate I've had the privilege of sharing
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: in the locker room room, Thank you for the sacrifices,
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: the brotherhood, the memories. None of this is possible without you.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: To every fan who supported me to the highs and
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: the lows, your belief, your energy, and your passion meant
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: more than you'll ever know. To Seattle, you raised me
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: not just all the wins and crazy loud games, but
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: also the forever memories after we won the Super Bowl.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Your feehof super Bowl forty eight champion, But.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Even more important, the kids at Seattle Children's Hospital. You
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: gave me hope and belief in that or tomorrow, and
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: hopefully I did the same for you.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: This is actually happening?
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Is that was the coolest part of the video.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I will say, like the little kid that's like, this
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: is actually happening.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: I love that part.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: And as Greg was saying earlier, just I mean what
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Russell Wilson did for Seattle Children's Hospital and his time
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: here was incredible. I mean it was a weekly visit
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: and donations and fundraisers. I mean, I'm just giving those
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: kids the attention. I mean, well, well done. Now, as
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: for the video, what were your thoughts when you saw
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: the video?
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Heard the video?
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we ran it. It came out right
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: during our show yesterday, and I had a different thought
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: and SOFTI came out and you know kind of ripped,
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: you know, ripped it a little bit. You know, it
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: was Russell being you know, corny or whatever, and I
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: get it. I get that side of it. But for me,
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: it's just like that's exactly Russ. Like what we heard
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: there was Russ. We heard multiple voices, you know, we
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: heard you know, just the dramatics we heard they overproduced
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: all that sort of stuff. I mean that is, we
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: get everything of Russ in that three minute video. I
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: would agree with that, the good, the bad, the indifferent, whatever.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: And so I think when we think back at the
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Russell Wilson era, we're gonna have all of that, right,
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: We're gonna have the great I mean, he was my
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: favorite Seahawk for a long long time. It's a lot
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: of people's, you know, for a long time, and then
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: he became the guy like, Okay, you're just you're not
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: fitting in very well. You're trying to get the coach fired. Fortunately,
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: we were able to make an unbelievable deal to get
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: you the heck out of here. Thanks DWN. And you've
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: failed miserably ever since you left. So I think we
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: had the ups and then we had the down, and
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: then we had the back up again. Because it was
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: really fun for me to watch Russell struggle as ass
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: off the last five minutes, I would agree, And now
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: I can root for him again because he's out of
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: the lea.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, Travis, did you see the video? I mean
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: obviously you heard that. I were you a Russell Wilson fan?
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: I was, Okay, I was, Yeah, I was kind of
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: an ambivalent at the end. I think that a lot
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: of people were. But yeah, I mean he brought us
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: our first Super Bowl. Yeah, how could you not love
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: him for that? Yeah?
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: And then yeah, his demise was kind of his own.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, but he is he's a cornball, yes, and and
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: I do agree.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I could have pictured any other
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: retirement announcement from him. It was quintessentially him. The one
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: thing I did have an issue with during like the
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: news of the day, everybody kind of, you know, giving
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: their well wishes to him for his retirement CBS, which granted,
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: I know he's going to CBS, so this is probably
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: why they did it, But they said, you know, congratulations
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: on a legendary career. Would you use the word legendary
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: to describe Russell Wilson's career.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, you would, I would, because I would not. I
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: agree with Greg Bell when he was on with us
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: at seven o'clock. I think he put it very very well.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: You cannot talk about the history of the NFL in
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: that two thousand and twelve to twenty twenty ish run.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: You can't talk about the NFL like if you were
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: to do a documentary of the last thirty years in
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: the NFL, Russell Wilson is one hundred percent in that documentary.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think he had an exceptional career.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: I just think legendary is like, that's Tom Brady, that's
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Peyton Manny, that's a first ballot Hall of Famer. If
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: you have a legendary career, you can have a great career.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: You can have an exceptional career, you can have a
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: fantastic career, you can be potential into the Hall of Fame.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: But if your Hall of Fame entrance is questionable, I
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: don't know how you can have a legendary.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: That's that's semantic definition of legendary versus I mean you
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: can to be a Seahawk legend. He certainly is a
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Seahawks legend. Yes, yes, I mean it depends on what
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: you mean for a NFL legend. If you're only talking
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: about the Mount Rushmore of quarterbacks as legends, or the
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: Mount Rushmore of pick your position, then yes, he's not that. Yeah,
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I mean you look at these number that
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: he had put up, and I was really surprised to
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: see how high he was. I mean, twelfth in passing touchdowns, fifth,
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: and passer rating fourth, and yards per attempt ninth, in
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: interception rate ninth and fourth quarter comebacks fourth, and rushing
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: yards for a quarterback. Those are top ten, top twelve
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: in major major quarterback categories. And everybody ahead of him
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: is either already in the NFL or excuse me, already
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: in the Hall of Fame or a lock Hall of Famer.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: So I think he's going to end up getting in
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: at some point.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he probably will, as Greg said, even if
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: it's on the second goal around as like that. I'm
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: sure that that will happen, especially as more time goes
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: and people forget kind of about how the career ended
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: and fizzled out and what happened in his last four.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: Right, because they'll just think of Russell Wilson talking on the.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Television exactly instead of the fact, yeah, that everything else
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: that happened.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Big day, we'll see. I'm intrigued to see how he's
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: going to do on CBS, and I was really hoping
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: that he was going to be Gino's backup. But there
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: you go. It is what it is. More interesting topics.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Because that was an interesting topic from yesterday. We also
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: had another interesting topic that was Nick Saban and Theresa
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Gold talking to the Senate about the future of college football.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: And I feel like this got a lot of attention
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: on social media, but needs to get some attention on
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: the air as well. We'll be back with that at
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three to three KJRFM.
