  Speaker 1: Now, from the Star Reynolds Sports Desk, your 93.3 KJRFM
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Sports Headlines.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Headlines are brought to you by Frostbrook Coors Light. Cold
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: as the Rockies. Cracking season starts tonight. Taking on Calgary,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: 6 o'clock. Year 6, 6 o'clock. Drop of the puck,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: 5.30 pregame with the captain, Mike Benton, for you right
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: here on 93.3 KJRFM. That means that Thursday night football
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: moves over to the AM dial, 9.50 on the AM dial.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh in Cleveland to take on the Browns. Browns plus
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: two and a half.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Fact.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: 494.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just kidding.
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: Let's see.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Someone's going to text me.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Julian Love saying today he expects to play on Sunday
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: barring anything unforeseen. He spoke to the media before their
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: practice today. We'll get a report out a little bit
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: later on. Zach Charbonnet designated a return to practice after
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: starting the season on the PUP list. By the way, Love, Price, Zabel,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and Reed were all limited in practice yesterday. Ty Okada
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: did not practice as well. MLB playoffs. Just one series
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: needs to be decided in the wild card race. That's
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: the Phillies and the Braves. That goes on later on tonight.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: They're tied at one game apiece in the best of three.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Yankees over the Red Sox. Astros get knocked out by
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the White Sox. Thank you very much, Chicago. And that's
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: too bad. That's unfortunate.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: I cried a lot.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Cubs are still in it, though. Cubs are still in it.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Or no, Cubs are out of it.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: White Sox are in it. Cubs are out of it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Our friends, our natural rival, the Padres, move on to
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the next round as well. Right now is what we
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: call the unofficial start of the weekend.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Even though you can't see him, trust us.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: It's time for Ian's weekly visit with the Athletics' Brandon Funston.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Brought to you by Georgetown Brewing Company. Brewing darn tasty
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: beer like Manny's Pale Ale, Bodhisattva, and the new Tavern
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Beer for over 20 years.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Look for it in your favorite local.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Establishment, grocery store, or swing by the tasting room at
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the brewery in Georgetown.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: On your home for the NFL. Sports Radio 93.3, KJR-FM.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: He's got it!
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Touchdown!
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: It is time for some fantasy football. Brandon Funston standing by.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Big thanks to our friends at Georgetown Brewing. It is
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: fresh hop season down there at the brewery. Go check
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it out.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: Get a growler.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Get a pint while you're there. I think I'm going
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: to swing by tomorrow on the way home. Say hi
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: to my friend Dave and company. See what they've got
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: going on. Grab a growler for the weekend, although two
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: hockey games. I'm not sure if that will happen. Anyway,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: we'll swing by there tomorrow. We'll figure it out along
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the way. So check things out. Go to Georgetown. And
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: enjoy your weekend. Look for it at your local establishment
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: as well. Bodie Zoffa, always on tap. Manny's Pale Island,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: so much more. Big shout-out to our friends at Georgetown Brewing. Hello,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Brandon Funston. How are you?
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Oh, man, I'm gearing up for a big weekend, Ian.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: I thought I'd let you know.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: It's Parents Weekend at Pullman. So I will be heading
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: out tomorrow and visiting my son, who has managed to
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: become a Coug.
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: Does that mean any parent of any kid can go there,
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: or do you have to have a kid who's there
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: to just go celebrate Parents Weekend?
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Because I'd like someone to celebrate.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Me being a parent. That'd be kind of fun.
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: If you're a parent, come one, come all.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: I think just the general kind of gentleman's agreement or
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: whatever rule is you should probably have a kid there.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Fine, fine.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: They did change it, by the way. It used to
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: be Dad's Weekend now, Mom's Weekend in the spring.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Both had their challenges. And it had nothing to do
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: with equal opportunity, although a lot of moms wanted to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: go to dad's weekend because it was a football game. Yeah,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I went to dad's weekend once, not as a mom. Yeah,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and dad's weekend. But dad's weekend, guys are getting after it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: It was fun. Mom's weekend, a whole different set of circumstances.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I'll just leave it at that. So now it's parents'
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: weekend on both. And, yeah, you'll have a good time.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Fresno State on tap.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: You know what? I'll expect a full report next week, sir.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I'll expect a full report.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Sella's for a calzone is a must.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Sella's for a calzone is a must. Is that with
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: an S? S-E-L-L-A-S. It's right at the bottom of Stadium Way,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: right at the bottom of the campus. Best calzone you'll
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: ever have. And then if you want to have a
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: nice little, how about some Cougold mac and cheese? South
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Fork would be sensational. South Fork.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, those are my.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Rex, I got some other ones for you. I'll text
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: you the other ones.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Write them down.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I'll text you.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Right before Mike's lineup question.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: And here it is. Let's start it off.
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: 206-286-9595.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Phone lines are open. We'll get a couple more phones
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: once we cycle through here. Mike and Edmond, you're first up.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Fire away, Mike. How are you?
• 4:31
  Speaker 9: Hi, Ian.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Hi, Brandon.
• 4:32
  Speaker 10: Hope you guys are doing well.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: You too.
• 4:35
  Speaker 10: So, I don't trust Saquon Barkley against the Rams. So
• 4:41
  Speaker 10: I've got three running backs. I need two of them.
• 4:44
  Speaker 10: Let me know what you think. Full PPR, by the way.
• 4:49
  Speaker 10: The three are Saquon Barkley, Jalen Warren, and Aaron Jones.
• 4:56
  Speaker 10: And thanks for doing this.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: That's amazing, Mike. Here's my rankings this week.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: I mean, I have Jalen Warren, Saquon Barkley, Aaron Jones,
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: back to back to back. So I'm giving Barkley the
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: slight nod over Aaron Jones. Minnesota, guys like Aaron Jones, older, injury, susceptible.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: That's why I'm a little bit leery on Justin Jefferson,
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: even if he does play. Playing Miami, there's an opportunity
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: for early exits for some of these guys.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: I think I'm going Jalen Warren. Barkley didn't look that
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: bad last week. He got 80 yards.
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: He's not punching it in, and they need to use
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: him a little bit more in the passing game, but
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: He looked good running around, so I'd still give him
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: the slight nod over Jones.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Beautiful. All right, thanks, Mike. Next up, we head to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the 253. Ricky in Tacoma. What's up, Ricky? How's it going,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen? And congrats on your son, Brandon.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: Appreciate it, Ricky.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Good deal. All right. Okay, this is a tough one.
• 5:54
  Speaker 11: 14-team league, half-point PPR, and I got this conundrum of
• 5:59
  Speaker 11: mess here. I need two of the best four. I
• 6:02
  Speaker 11: got Woody Marks, DK Metcalf. Trey Tucker, and Brian Robinson.
• 6:08
  Speaker 11: What would you say, Brandon?
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go DK for sure.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's not the greatest connection, but I like
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: the opportunity share. I mean, they're going for him. It's
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: just I think he's the best upside there. I'm going
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: to lean Woody Marks. He seems like he's getting a
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: little bit more frisky in that offense. I like the
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: matchup against Dallas. They haven't been a great defense so far.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: So go ahead and give me Marks and Metcalf.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: All right, perfect. Well, let's see how things are going
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: in Burien today. Anybody have a prediction on how things
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: are going? Let's see. Rob in Burien, you're up next.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: What's up, buddy?
• 6:45
  Speaker 11: I love this game.
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: This is the best.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: There it is.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it happens once or twice a year. That's the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: mark the date down. Okay, continue, Rob. We're all stunned,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: but go ahead.
• 6:56
  Speaker 11: I'll take some injuries. Don't worry about that.
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: So, quarterback, Lamar Jackson or Julian Love, please?
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: Ooh.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: You mean Jordan Love?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jordan Love.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: I got Jackson number two going against Tennessee. Got a
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: little bit of a back issue that popped up, but
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: no one thinks it's really anything serious. So it looks
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: like it's probably going to be Jackson being just fine.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: And if that's the case, very rarely would I ever,
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: ever say to bench.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: Him over Jordan Love.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Beautiful.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Rob.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it. Let's go to Stephen Insulton. Stephen Insulton, you're
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: up next.
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: I think my injury routine can be my regular starting
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: lineup this week.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: Full PPR, I need one of these guys somehow. Michael Wilson,
• 7:47
  Speaker 9: Marvin Harrison, Ted McMillan, Denzel Boston, or Mike Evans.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, honestly, just play it safe. I think you go
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: Michael Wilson, 17 targets last week. He's had at least
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: seven targets, I think, every week. He's been the guy,
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: and Marvin Harrison is... you know, run-and-go routes and basically
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: being ignored. So you don't want to play him. I
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: would go Tett, Michael Wilson. Mike Evans has a rib injury.
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: I think he might play, but that's going to probably
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: be a Patrick Sertan matchup. So you might as well
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: steer clear of that altogether.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: All right, perfect. We stay in Sultan. Next up is
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Derek in Sultan. What's up, Derek?
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: Hey, guys.
• 8:28
  Speaker 12: I'm a little worried because I said something about Rob's
• 8:31
  Speaker 12: whiskey and Henry Weinhardt that I have his misfortunes now
• 8:36
  Speaker 12: with my team.
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: Uh-oh.
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: He had a good week.
• 8:39
  Speaker 13: I had a really bad week.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: That's not good.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: That's not good at all. All right, what do you got?
• 8:47
  Speaker 13: Okay, so I need two of these four. My running
• 8:50
  Speaker 13: back team is struggling. So, Braylon Allen, R.J.
• 8:55
  Speaker 12: Harvey....
• 8:58
  Speaker 13: Or either of the Patriots running back, so Henderson or Stevenson.
• 9:01
  Speaker 13: I need two of those four, and it's PPR.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll go Braylon Allen.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: I mean, they haven't played Isaiah Davis much at all,
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: and Brees Hall is doubtful.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: I don't expect him to play.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: So Braylon Allen, good chance to score a touchdown on
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: that one, but he's going to probably get a lot
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: of carries. And then I think I would go Ramondre
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: Stevenson over Travion Henderson. I just feel like it's a
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: game where they're going to need Romandre Stevenson's QB protection,
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: his pass protection. I think he can get a decent
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: amount of catches in this game. I expect Buffalo to
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: run up the score a bit, and New England to
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: play Chase. And I think that's going to favor Stevenson
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: in the passing game since they don't really trust Travion
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: to be much of a pass blocker.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Love it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Perfect.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: All right. Let's go to Chris in Burien. Chris, what's
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: going on, buddy? Chris, are you there?
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: One, two. Oh, he's supposed to be there. It's showing
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: in there.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Chris, you there?
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll put Chris on hold. We'll see if
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: we can get Chris back.
• 10:03
  Speaker 10: I'm so sorry.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: There he is.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, you muted yourself. Buddy, come on. That's a fine.
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: He almost got hung up on.
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: Good afternoon and go Cougs. Now you know why I
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: didn't know I was on mute.
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: Go Cougs.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Fire away.
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: Oh, technology's not our friend.
• 10:21
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: Full point PPR. I need two of the following four.
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: Luther Burden III, Michael Wilson, Justin Jefferson, and Jalen Waddle.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: Man, that's star-studded.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: Man, again, I can't go away from Michael Wilson. Just
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: a massive target share last week, and he's been so involved.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: And I really would have a hard time sitting Justin Jefferson,
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: but he hasn't practiced this week with the ankle injury.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: And like I said, I could see him either being
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: just a DMP because it's Miami and they're playing it safe,
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: or they use him as a decoy, but they do
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: nothing to.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Further his injury. So I'm going to lean Jalen.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: Waddell over Burden. I like them both a lot. So
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: I have Burden, Wilson, and Waddell all kind of together.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: But give me Waddle and Wilson.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: All right, perfect. Thanks, Chris. By the way, we locked
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: down the phones, so we only have two phone calls left.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: We lock them down. We only take X number, and
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: then we get to the text. We've got a zillion texts,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: as always. Let's go next to Scott. No, TJ. TJ
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: and Bonnie Lake. Scott, stand by. You're the last guys.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: TJ and Bonnie Lake, you're up next.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Hey there.
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: I thought I did great with Bo Nix and Drake May,
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: but they both suck, so I picked up Kyler Murray.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Who should I start?
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: Ooh, this week. Let me see.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: I believe I have Kyler Murray as your top guy,
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: and he actually might run a little bit.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: That's the problem with Nix and May.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, May's got all kinds of problems, but Bo
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: Nix has 15 rushing yards, and we expected more than
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: that from him after three weeks, and May's not running a.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: Whole lot either, but... Murray has the best matchup and is,
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: you know, I just think he's looking the best this week,
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: so go ahead and give.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Him a roll. All right, perfect. And then we'll wrap
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: it up next with Scott Nevrit.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Hi.
• 12:16
  Speaker 9: I'm in a touchdown-only league.
• 12:20
  Speaker 13: I need one running back, either Jeremiah Love or Asim Jenti.
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: Ooh, in a touchdown-only league. I think I would play
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: for red zone trips, and I think probably Arizona has
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: a higher upside to get in the red zone more
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: often than Jinty against the Chiefs. So give me Jeremiah Love.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: They turned him loose last week. I don't think there's
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: any reason they won't do it again this week.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: All right, there you go.
• 12:48
  Speaker 13: Perfect.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: We've got a couple new callers this week, which is awesome.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: If you didn't get in, make sure you give it
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: a go next week, and we'll tell you how. If
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: you didn't get your question answered, you can get it
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: next week. But we go to the text line, 49451.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Bullseyes this week. But more than I can ever remember
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: that came in one second after 12 o'clock.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: We don't want bullseyes to become the norm. No.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: We had a couple recently, and it's... A little disturbing,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: but no. To think about all the ones that are one, two,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: and three seconds after the top of the hour, you
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: guys are amazing, and you're also in just absolute sicko mode,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: which I love. All right, here we go. The first one, PPR,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: need two. Jay Johnson, the tight end, Jay Williams, Sutton,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: or Moore?
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: So I'm thinking it's Jamison Williams, Sutton, DJ Moore, and
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: just needs two?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Need two.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: I will I want Jawan Johnson in there. It's a
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: really good matchup. And then I will go DJ Moore,
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: even though it's a tough matchup against Christian Gonzalez.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: But they can move him around. David says, full point
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: PPR need two of three. Judkins, Price, DJ Moore. Two
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: of the three.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, give me Judkins and DJ Moore. Chest injury for Price.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: Chargers have been rough. It could be one of those
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: cases where they've decided to give him a rest in
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: the second half if the Chargers keep on Chargering as
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: they have.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Half-point PPR flex spot, Carnell Tate or Michael Pittman, which
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: assumes that Brees Hall is not playing?
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to go Carnell Tate.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: He hasn't had the big game yet, but he's been
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: bubbling up, and his usage has been great. So I
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: think it's just a matter of time could come this week.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Full-point PPR, need one for a flex position. Kup, Corum, Shahid,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: or Carnell Tate?
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: One.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll go back to Carnell Tate for the.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: Reason I just mentioned.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Rashichi, he's done nothing this year, fantasy-wise.
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: No, I'm actually more interested on a fantasy side to
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: see Torrey Horton continue to.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: He was kind of starting to rise up before he
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: got hurt last year, and then he comes back and
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: he makes some catches and kind of stands out. So
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: we'll see what happens. 4-2-5.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: The Roma-Dunze experience, which I can tell you has not
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: been pleasant. Or Harvey, half-point PPR.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, I will go Odunze. I mean, he did
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: drop a touchdown.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, he did.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: And if he would have caught that, it would have
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: been a whole lot different story. His numbers otherwise wouldn't
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: have been that bad. So I'm going to go Odunze.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you right now, I'm not enjoying the
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Roman Odunze experience at all.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: It's not ideal.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: No, not at all. We would like Caleb Williams back.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: That would help. Yeah, but I don't know. It's not
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: treating me well. Never trust a Husky. Full point PPR,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: need two. Tett, McMillan, Tootin, Waddle, or Jenkins? Need two.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go Tootin and Tett.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Fannin or Andrews? Full point PPR.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to go Fannin.
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: It's a tough matchup, but he's looking really good right
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: now and got a good chemistry.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Boiling with Deshaun Watson. We're still one second after the hour,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: by the way.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: By the way, really quickly, is this the most despised
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: quarterback matchup in NFL history tonight?
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, Watson and Rodgers? Yeah. The two most unlikable people
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: in the NFL?
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Which is saying something, really. I mean, that's really saying something.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Let's see. Where are we at here? Need two in
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: a PPR league? Kamara, Stevenson, Neighbors, or R.J.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Harvey?
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: Let's go with Neighbors and Stevenson. Neighbors is close for
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: me to, like, The other two, because it's been pretty
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: bleak with the Giants passing game.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: That's from our guy that always tweets or texts that
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Softee smells like fish. I still don't get it, don't
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: understand it, but I'll read it anyway. Jamie from Allen says,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: pick one running back, Lloyd Price or Braylon Allen.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: Braylon Allen for sure.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Rank them, quarterbacks, Murray, Shuck, Lawrence.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: I would go Shuck, Lawrence, Murray. And Shuck, I have
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: a pretty good distance ahead of the other two.
• 16:57
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Last one for me, Ash. I'll get you ready. I
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: have two full PPR. I need full. Full PPR, I
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: need two. J.K. Dobbins or Brian Thomas at Flex?
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Dobbins.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: And then T. Higgins, Christian Watson, or Travion Henderson at
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the other Flex?
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go Christian Watson.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: And I'll just say it one more time. You guys
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: are absolutely crazy and sick to have all those ones
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: come a second after the hour. Not even a... I mean, like, literally,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying a minute. I'm talking one second afternoon.
• 17:29
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Crazy. Fire away, Ash.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: This one's from Keith, and I really like it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: Drake May with a pukey face or pick up Nix
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: or Darnold?
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: I have actually....
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: This is another one of those. I have Knicks, May,
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: and Darnold in order in my rankings. So I don't
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: mind picking up Knicks over May for the rest.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Of the way.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: I think that should work out just fine.
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: Okay. From the 206, DJ Moore or Mike Evans? Oh,
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: it's need one flex. DJ Moore or Mike Evans, Travis, Kelsey, or.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: Tootin'?.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: I'm going to go Tootin'. I like the way he's
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: been looking in that Jacksonville offense, getting consistent touches each week.
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: And a half-point PPR flex from the 206, Krosky Merritt
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: or Scary McLaurin?
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Oh, I'm going to go Terry McLaurin, and it's a
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: good matchup against Indy, and it looks like Jaden Daniels
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: could play, but either way, he looked good with Mariota
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: against our Seahawks, as we all know.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: So I'll go McLaurin.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: All right, and then this one was an interesting one
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: to me from the 206.
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: The receiver need one, Shahid Cup or Cody White?
• 18:36
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Just all.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Did I just hear a Cody White question?
• 18:39
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I didn't wait seconds.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: I was like, I've got to ask this because this
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: is too good.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: He's having a year, though.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but still, it just made me laugh. Well, he's
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: got like two catches for two touchdowns.
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: It was something ridiculous like that.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: I think I'm going to go Kopp.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: I think Kopp's going to get like three catches for
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: 40 yards, and I think that feels the best to
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: me of this group.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: This one from the 425. Need one. Shockey, Jessamine, or Anders?
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: Ooh.
• 19:07
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: That's a tough one. Can I plead the fifth?
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I'll answer that.
• 19:13
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll answer that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 19:15
  Speaker 13: Ashley.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: You're so good at this.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Huh?
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: You're good at this.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: The other three.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: It's a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately world.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, Brandon, you and I have been doing
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: this for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, the
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: other three, they've all left me. And you. And you, Brandon.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: They've left me. They've left you. They left Greg Cosell.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: They left you. They left us all.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: True, true. I like how you just zagged to the
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: waiver wire on that one.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: That was good.
• 19:37
  Speaker 13: True.
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: And here's one general question, by the way, from the 425.
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: Is Pitts worth dropping at this point?
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: I would give him one more opportunity. It was pretty
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: bleak when Penix came in. It didn't help.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: It didn't help last year either. He actually did not
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: have a numbers bump like Drake London did. So give
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: him one more week, and then you can kick him
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: to the curb. There's a lot of tight ends this year.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I got one.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I got one VIP question that came in from, I won't,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I won't say who the VIP is, but may or
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: may not be involved with the brewery. Uh, Carnell Tate
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: or Justin Jefferson?
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: Well, Justin Jefferson plays, you're going to play Justin Jefferson,
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: but so hopefully it's made easy for you by, uh,
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: you know, I mean, I.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: Guess you, you hope he plays, but yeah.
• 20:26
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: There you go. That's it. Funston, uh, for the hundreds
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: that didn't get their questions answered, how can they get
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: some updates?
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you can come to The Athletic and check out
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: the fans' football pages. Got all the rankings up to
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: date to the minute. Bunch of great analysis to break
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: down week four, get you ready. We also have a
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: nice John Snyder piece from Michael Sean Degas.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: And it's a great read if you're a Seahawks fan,
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: so you can check that out as well.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: All right, there you go, folks. Go get those figured
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: out right away. And Funston, we'll talk to you next
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: week when the unofficial start of the weekend continues. Thanks, buddy.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Have a great time at Dad's weekend. I'll send you
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: a couple other do's and don'ts there, all right?
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Okay, love it.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Insider Trading.
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: See you.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: That's Brandon Funston. We'll come back. We'll check your talkbacks.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Coming up next.
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: This is the last time you'll hear from me this year.
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: Now that Torrey Lovello is off the list, we can
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: get down to picking a Mariner manager. the way Mariner
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: managers are usually picked in Jerry's office. The dartboard's up.
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: You got Raul Abanez, Brady Sizemore, Kai Carrera. Wherever the
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: dart goes, that's our manager.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: See you next year.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I'll miss Ancient Mariner for a while.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: He's going into hibernation.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: He is.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: Love the show, guys.
• 21:42
  Speaker 14: Ashley, I don't understand your take on why the Mariners
• 21:47
  Speaker 14: manager has to be with experience. A lot of the
• 21:51
  Speaker 14: great managers in baseball right now were first-time managers. Dan
• 21:56
  Speaker 14: Wilson was just not the right guy from the very,
• 21:59
  Speaker 14: very jump.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: He just wasn't.
• 22:01
  Speaker 14: You can go out and find a guy who has
• 22:03
  Speaker 14: all the right qualities who has not managed before. I
• 22:07
  Speaker 14: don't want a guy who's been fired.
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: I mean... I guess I don't understand why you wouldn't
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: want someone who's been fired. That means that just because
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: it didn't work with one team, it won't work with another?
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: That list gets really short, too, by the way.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if you don't want someone who's been fired.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, that list gets really short if you don't
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: want anyone who's been fired.
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and I want someone with experience because I want
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: us to do something different than what we've done.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just someone that's a stronger, that has
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: a little bit more pushback with Jerry. Now, I'm saying
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: that like I'm assuming that would happen.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: And it's hard because we don't know the inner workings.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: We're not there. We don't understand. I don't know what's
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: going on in Jerry's office or Justin's office or their
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: heads in the manager relationship, but I get it. It's hard.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: In fact, if you missed it, I forgot to put
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: this in the update, Torrey Lovello's out because he's staying
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: in Arizona. In fact, the 425, before we get to
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: fact or fiction, says, it really says something on the
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: M's that an Arizona manager who'd rather stay and manage
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: a team to face San Diego and the Dodgers almost
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: 30 times a season. That's from Chip in Olympia. Yeah, see,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: that was kind of the thing. When I asked Eno
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Saris about that, I didn't phrase it well enough because
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: that's kind of what I was getting at. Like, the
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Arizona job's a hard job. Why is it a hard job? Well,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: you've got the Dodgers in your division, and you've got
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: the Padres in your division. AOS should be a prime
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: job for anybody.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: It's wide open.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Now, I'll be curious to see how things go with
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: the Angels. They just got an owner that likes to
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: win and spend money. Like, that may not be a
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: doormat franchise much longer. That would be a bad thing
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: for everybody if they decide they want to invest in
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: the product and be good again. Let's see. Do, do, do.
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: 49451.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Good news of the Arizona managers off the table since
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: the 206. He's too similar to Dan Wilson. Had problems
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: with discipline. Cattell Marte in the bullpen. I think Cattell
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Marte had a problem with discipline. I could be wrong.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: I think he's the problem.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: Maybe.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Did I even mention state-run media today? I don't think
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: No, you didn't.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: It's just somebody's really into it.
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I'll just, I'll answer in general terms. We've, we've asked,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: we've tried. They don't want to play ball.
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: Can only put in the request so many times.
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 24:19
  Speaker 13: Yep.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: Which is fine.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I really, I'm, I'm, I'm really, I'm, I'm okay. I'm
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: okay with that.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Let's get to it. Factor fiction right now.
• 24:29

  Speaker 2: $ 10, 000 is the grand prize, and that will be given
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: away at the end of the year to whoever has
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: the most correct picks. We're in week four. If you
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: haven't played at all yet, you better get after it.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: You have four chances a day, 20 times a week.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: I'd get after it pretty quick. You've been playing sporadically,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: you're still in good shape, and everyone's in good shape
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: to win a $ 1, 000 weekly prize. With all that being said,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Ashley has... The pick for today. What say you?
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: I wanted to do something that may be too risky,
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: so I chickened out.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: So I'm not going to do it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: Oh!
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: You want me to do the risky one?
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, you must have had a feeling about it.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Let's do it.
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: The Raiders are four and a half point underdogs at
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: home against the Chiefs. I don't know if they're going
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: to win, but I'm going to take the points. Give
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: me Vegas plus the four and a half.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Whoa!
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: There we go.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Clint Kubiak and the Raiders going to 4-0. Or at
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: least covering.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: At least covering.
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: At home.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Plus the 4.5.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: You're getting 4.5?
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: At home? Yep.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: That actually might feel like a Raiders home game, too.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: Maybe, yeah.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: In Allegiance State. Actually, they do better than it. It's
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: not like the Chargers is so fine. Okay.
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: I did it.
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: You know what?
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: I'm going to text FACT just to give you some support.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: Well, and here's why I didn't. Here's why I was.
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: Because last week I didn't want to do the Falcons.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: I didn't want to take the Falcons and their underdog status.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: And I didn't do it because I didn't want to
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: go against another show.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: Uh-huh.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: And today I'm saying F it. I'll go against the
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: other show in my prediction.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: You're going against Chris Kidd, I do see.
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: I am.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: He had a 69% approval rating on that one.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: He sure did.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: So I don't know. I mean, that's not that high.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can hedge.
• 27:18
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I don't love.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Doing it, but you know what? I kicked myself last
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: week that I didn't do it with the Falcons.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I hope I didn't bully you into that. I like
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: the pick.
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: No, no, no.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: It was fine. I had another one that wasn't as.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Give me a sexy pick all day.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right?
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Give me one that's fun all day.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: Let's be bold.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Raiders plus four and a half against Kansas City.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Fact.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: If you agree, 49451. If you disagree, fiction49451. Text in
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: right now. Fact or fiction. Again, your chance to win
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: a $ 1, 000 weekly prize. $ 10, 000 grand prize. LVR, Las Vegas Raiders.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: It feels weird.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: It does.
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: But it's a rivalry game. Weird things happen. I just
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: think a four-and-a-half point spread at home is a lot.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: They've been just such a doormat forever, and every year
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: there's that team that continues, not just surprises early, but
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: continues to surprise. I think the Vikings are a paper
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: tiger for sure.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: I think they've had a good schedule so far.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: It's going to be easy.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: They're playing the Dolphins this week.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Right, that's easy. They're 4-0 probably at that point. I mean,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs are good. They're 3-0. Raiders 3-0. That's a
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: fun one. I'm just like, who else is undefeated?
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: 49ers.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: 49ers.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're good. There's that team that's going to jump up.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: It might be Quinn Kubiak and the Raiders, huh?
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: We'll see.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Why not them?
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Why not us?
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Why not them? All right, one more time. Your pick is?
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Vegas, plus the 4.5 at home against the Chiefs.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: Got it.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I like it. I like a risky pick. I like
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: a fun pick.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it does feel more exciting than the other one
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: I was going to do.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Plus, it makes you think a little bit.
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: If you're sitting there at home and you're driving around,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: you're like, do I text fact? I mean, I look
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: at all these approval ratings. Well, mine was awful on Monday.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Nobody likes the Huskies at plus nine and a half.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: But most of them are in the 80% range. Yeah.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: So take a flyer on this one, folks.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: You might get yourself, if you're in the 10,000 contest,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: These are the ones that could make a difference down
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: the road. Raiders plus four and a half at home
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: against Kansas City. Ken Walker's not going to run for
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: a zillion yards and ten touchdowns every game.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Not every game.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Hopefully not this one. Hopefully not this one either.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Someone said if you picked opposite of Kidd, you already.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Won.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: He could have new luck.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing. We've known the host standings for a while.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: We've known for a while that Chris was coming back.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: And I saw the host standings. They were put up there, right?
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: In the Excel spreadsheet. I think they were put up
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: based on last year's before we started doing it. His
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: name was always at the top of the list. I
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: think he did well. I do believe.
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: I think for a while he did not.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: You know who's not doing well? Dick Fain's 0-6.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, he's doing terribly.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Terrible. Terrible. Ian's not much better.
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: No.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Two and seven's not good. Everyone's basically 500 or below
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: except for Anders and Jackson Ashley.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I do notice Anders already, as soon as he gets
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: a win, he puts it in there. He waits for
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: everybody else.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: For the week.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Always, yes. All right, that's Ashley's pick. Let's go for it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: You've got a few more minutes. 49451, text FACT if
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: you agree, FICTION if you disagree. Raiders plus four and
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: a half at home. So the Kansas City Chiefs have
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: to win by five or more. Fact 49451. Fiction 49451.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Speaking of fiction, Softy joins us next. All righty then.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: All righty then. How you doing?
• 30:41
  Speaker 13: Eh.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Eh.
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: Eh.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: Just okay.
• 30:53
  Speaker 12: Good.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Actually doing great. Really good. Thank you for asking. Not
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: that you give a damn, but thank you.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I do care.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: Listen.
• 30:59
  Speaker 15: I will be honest with you. When I ask you
• 31:00
  Speaker 15: how you're doing, I don't really care.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: If there's one person here at this radio station that
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: cares about Dave Softy Mahler.
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: Nope.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Nope.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: It's me.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Don't be. I don't want it.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: It's me.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Don't give it to me. Care about somebody else.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: It's definitely not me. Yeah, Ashley, you're right. It's definitely
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: not Ash. Definitely not.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: It's somebody else.
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Care about Anders. Ah, no.
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: No.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Jessamyn.
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: Nah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: Chuck.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: No, no. Chris Kidd's back. Care about him.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like Chris. I like Chris. I'll care about him.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Rich Moore.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Eh.
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: Eh.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Arden Erickson.
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: Sure, she's nice.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Depends on the day.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: She brought lunch today.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we had lunch today, so that was good. I'll
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: care about those guys.
• 31:35
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: All right, good.
• 31:36
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, actually, I should tell you this. Softie got
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: uncomfortable because I told him that nice things were said
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: about him on Molly Love Monday. He did not like it.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Stop it. Nope, nope, nope.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Didn't like it at all.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Sorry, man. I break out in hives.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: The truth hurts.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Don't like it, man. I don't want to be a
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: nice guy. Leave me alone.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: Well, nobody said you were a nice guy. It was
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: just that nice things were.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Said about you. Keep thinking that. That's exactly what I want.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Did I hear correctly yesterday on the Petros show that
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: you and Petros are going to break bread on Friday?
• 32:06
  Speaker 15: Yeah, we're going to hook up tomorrow night in L.A.
• 32:09
  Speaker 15: He's sending me all these text messages about where we
• 32:12
  Speaker 15: want to go have dinner. His wife, Dana, is going
• 32:15
  Speaker 15: to join us, and apparently she's in a cranky mood,
• 32:17
  Speaker 15: so that'll be fun.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: I'm actually looking forward to that, by the way.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: She's in a cranky mood a day ahead?
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, because she's married to Petros.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: That actually makes sense.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you were married to that thing, you
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: might be cranky too.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, Gina's married to you. She's not usually cranky.
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Not around us, she's not.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: That's what you think, pal. Come on down. Come on
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: down to the Dez. Hang out with us for a
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: My wife's happy. She's happy every day.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: She's happy hockey season is starting, and she won't see
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: me for the next six months.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: You won't be hanging around.
• 32:50
  Speaker 15: That's exactly it. What's the whole absence makes the heart
• 32:54
  Speaker 15: grow fonder thing?
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I forgot about it. My wife loves five things,
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: and five of them are animals.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Two horses and three dogs.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I thought I was going to say you.
• 33:05
  Speaker 15: I'm number six on the list. I'll tell you that
• 33:08
  Speaker 15: right now. I am number six on the list of five.
• 33:10
  Speaker 15: And I'm fine with that, right? I'm totally fine with that.
• 33:12
  Speaker 15: I mean, I just, you know, my... My goal in
• 33:14
  Speaker 15: life is just to make her happy, and if she's happy,
• 33:16
  Speaker 15: I'm happy.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Now, more tomorrow. Who's paying?
• 33:19
  Speaker 14: Tomorrow.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Who's paying?
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Probably him, to be honest with you.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's asking me, like, you know, my buddy's
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: got a Michelin restaurant. You want to go there? I'm like,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: do I have to dress up? Is it fancy?
• 33:30
  Speaker 12: No.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Am I paying for it? Am I paying for Michelin
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: five stars?
• 33:33
  Speaker 15: Can we just go have a plate of chicken parmesan
• 33:35
  Speaker 15: and a cocktail somewhere?
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Is his dad's place still open?
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: No, they shut that.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Down years ago.
• 33:40
  Speaker 13: Oh, okay.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's not around.
• 33:42
  Speaker 15: There was a funny story about that restaurant. The Huskies
• 33:45
  Speaker 15: used to go there a lot back in the day
• 33:47
  Speaker 15: when they played in the Rose Bowl.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, really?
• 33:49
  Speaker 15: Back in the day. A lot of teams went there
• 33:50
  Speaker 15: when they played in the Rose Bowl. I think every
• 33:52
  Speaker 15: team that played in the Rose Bowl from the Pac-12
• 33:54
  Speaker 15: eventually ate at their restaurant or Pac-10. But Petros tells
• 33:58
  Speaker 15: a story on the air that during the OJ chase,
• 34:02
  Speaker 15: his dad was telling everybody at the restaurant to get
• 34:04
  Speaker 15: the walk-in ready because they were going to hide OJ
• 34:07
  Speaker 15: in the refrigerator.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: At his restaurant.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Oh my God.
• 34:14
  Speaker 15: Al Cowens is on his way over. Get the walk-in ready.
• 34:17
  Speaker 15: We're going to hide OJ.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Were they going to let Al be in there with
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: him or just OJ?
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man.
• 34:23
  Speaker 15: I would assume so that whoever he brought with him,
• 34:26
  Speaker 15: if he's got a buddy, you got to take them all, right?
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Oh God. Oh, that is awesome. That is awesome.
• 34:32
  Speaker 15: How funny would that have been if OJ Simpson and
• 34:34
  Speaker 15: Al Cowens ended up hiding and Petros Papadakis' father's walk-in cooler.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: God, that would have been sensational. Now, this is the
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: first road trip for you as a sideline guy, correct?
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: I've done road trips before as a sideline guy. Oh,
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: you have?
• 34:49
  Speaker 15: As the full-time guy, yeah. No, I did Michigan State
• 34:52
  Speaker 15: a couple years ago, 2023. We went to Michigan State.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, you went to Detroit after that?
• 34:57
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I went to the Seahawks line game the day after.
• 35:00
  Speaker 15: That's the day that Greg Lewis fell asleep in the
• 35:02
  Speaker 15: stands because he was exhausted. I've never to this day
• 35:06
  Speaker 15: seen anybody actually take a nap in the stands who
• 35:09
  Speaker 15: was not inebriated.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: And he was sober. Crystal clean sober.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: That was a game. Because I was there with you guys. Oh,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I didn't see you. Because remember how it was. That
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: was the Lions' one opening night. And that was week two.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: And that place was in. How did you fall asleep
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: in that place?
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man. Greg doesn't sleep so well.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you that right now. The pride of Ingram, man.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 35:35
  Speaker 15: I don't know if he's an actual narcoleptic, but something's
• 35:38
  Speaker 15: going on there.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: So who does the show at the Tom's Place tomorrow?
• 35:43
  Speaker 15: Tomorrow is Greg and Miles Gaskin on a pregame show.
• 35:48
  Speaker 15: And then Dick Fane and Greg Lewis will handle postgame
• 35:51
  Speaker 15: duties tomorrow night when I fly back home, hopefully after
• 35:53
  Speaker 15: a win.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Well, you might see your friend Lincoln Riley, you know,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: getting fired after that game if they lose.
• 36:01
  Speaker 15: I mean, if he loses to Jed Fish tomorrow night,
• 36:04
  Speaker 15: Jen may actually drive him to a tarmac just so
• 36:06
  Speaker 15: she could fire him.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: And they're at home.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: I'd pay to see that.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: We're going to LAX.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Get in the car. We're going to Burbank.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: It's the USC way.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: We're going to fire Lincoln.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: It's the USC way, right? Fire the guy in the tarmac.
• 36:19
  Speaker 15: I mean, really what they should do is just build
• 36:21
  Speaker 15: a tarmac on campus. Just like a mini one for
• 36:25
  Speaker 15: like a drone or whatever. And then just, what's that?
• 36:28
  Speaker 15: That's where we go to fire people.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: We call it the tarmac.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: It's like the train station in Yellowstone.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: Correct.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: The train station.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: 100%. Not the bus station, the train station.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: So what you do is maybe just have it outside
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: of whatever their football facility is. Just build a little
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: fake tarmac. Heritage Hall.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: Is that what it's called, Ashley, down there?
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Heritage Hall.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: It's where all the trophies are. Now they have a
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: new place.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they have a new place, I think, don't they now?
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Build a tarmac and just whack people there.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm worried you're going to melt on Saturday because
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: it's going to be hot as hell.
• 36:57
  Speaker 15: It's going to be pretty hot, man. It's going to
• 36:59
  Speaker 15: be hot. But you know what? Only so many people
• 37:02
  Speaker 15: can handle this kind of duty, and I'm one of
• 37:04
  Speaker 15: those guys.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: You are.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Lesser men would not be able to handle this job.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: We got our number one draft pick on board for that.
• 37:09
  Speaker 15: I might wear a bucket hat, by the way, for
• 37:11
  Speaker 15: the game on Saturday. Like a Joel Damon bucket hat.
• 37:14
  Speaker 11: Oh, okay.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking about it.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: It's not going to be a great look, but I'll
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: support it.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: I don't care.
• 37:19
  Speaker 15: Ashley, you'll find when you get to my age and
• 37:22
  Speaker 15: Ian's way past my age that you get to a
• 37:24
  Speaker 15: certain age where you don't really give a damn.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: What you look like anymore.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: I haven't gotten there yet.
• 37:27
  Speaker 15: It's all about comfort over style. I'd wear a garbage
• 37:30
  Speaker 15: bag if it was comfortable.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: I'll be looking for the bucket hat. What color?
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I've got to go buy one.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, you don't have one?
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: I don't have one.
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 37:39
  Speaker 15: Maybe I'll stop by Target on the way home.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: I assume you're flying tomorrow. Oh, we have booze news anyway,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: so I won't talk to you tomorrow. Yeah, flying tomorrow.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Dick's got the show tomorrow.
• 37:47
  Speaker 15: We're flying tomorrow, and then pregame is at 1230 from
• 37:49
  Speaker 15: the Coliseum with a postgame show to follow from Tom's Watchman.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: All right, what's on the show today, sir?
• 37:55
  Speaker 15: Well, Rick Neuheisel will join us. We'll get his thoughts
• 37:57
  Speaker 15: on UW and USC, what happened against Minnesota. And then
• 38:01
  Speaker 15: Mike Holmgren's going to join us. I want to know
• 38:03
  Speaker 15: if Mike Holmgren has called his buddy Andy Reid in
• 38:05
  Speaker 15: Kansas City and say, you realize if you keep playing
• 38:08
  Speaker 15: Kenny Walker this much, he's going to break.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: You think he's aware of that, by the way?
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I wonder what Kenny Walker's going to be gassed. I mean,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: he's getting four carries in a row sometimes in a series.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: That's crazy. He's got 151 snaps already.
• 38:20
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 38:23
  Speaker 15: Unbelievable how much they're using them out there. So we'll
• 38:25
  Speaker 15: talk to Mike about all that, and then I know
• 38:27
  Speaker 15: what we're fired up for. You're fired up for cracking
• 38:29
  Speaker 15: hockey tonight, baby.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: We got it.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 38:31
  Speaker 8: 5.30.
• 38:31
  Speaker 15: 5.30 pregame with Mike Benton's 6 o'clock face.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Are they playing at the Saddle Dome? Is that what
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: they call.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: That place now? The Scotiabank Saddle Dome.
• 38:41
  Speaker 15: So is that the same building from like 40 years ago?
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: It's the home of the 88 Olympic Games, yes.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: But this is it. This is the last year of it.
• 38:49

• 38:52
  Speaker 2: is the last opening night. It's Scotiabank Saddledome. And I mean,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: and Benton, you know, you've seen it. Benton's just bouncing
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: around here going nuts right now. I mean, he might
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: try to take over at 5 o'clock, so just be
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: aware of that.
• 39:02
  Speaker 15: Hey, that's fine by us, but we're going to head
• 39:04
  Speaker 15: out there and get Everett and Big Al on from
• 39:06
  Speaker 15: the arena before face-off at 6 o'clock.
• 39:08
