  Speaker 2: the team's next manager, among other things that he said.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Week 3 of the NFL is in the books. You
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: heard it last night right here on 93.3 KJRFM. It
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: was the Case Keenum-led Bears beating the Philadelphia Eagles 27-7
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: on Monday Night Football. The Protect College Sports Act took
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a major step forward.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: U.S.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Senate passed it. Now it moves on to the House
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: of Representatives. Probably won't get voted on until after the
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: midterm elections in the first week of November, but we
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: will wait and see. I do need to get to this, Ashley.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: This just crossed a few minutes ago. NBA is reviewing
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: bids from the three finalists for the Vegas team. Former
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: approval process by the end of December. I need to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: kind of go through this. Bear with me. Yeah, so
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: they're going through that. This story just crossed. Nothing new.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: It doesn't appear. I'll double-check that. Maybe you can help
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: me out when we're talking to Lund and just kind
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of go through that story.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll have a look.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Shams has it on ESPN.com. See if there's anything pertinent
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: there that we need to know. All right. Is Lund ready?
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Not yet.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: I'm calling him for the third time.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: That's a shocker. I'll move into the hour number three.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Lund here in just a couple seconds.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: We should mention it's a Kraken show. Ticket Tuesday brought
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: to you by our good friends, the Seattle Kraken. That's right.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Every hour on the hour, we will take a 10th
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: caller when you hear the sounder play. And you'll call
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: it 206-286-9595. If you are the 10th caller, you'll win
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: a pair of tickets to see the Kraken play October
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: 4th against the Calgary Flames. That's opening night for the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: home team. Their opener is actually on Thursday. They'll play
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: in Calgary against that same Flames team. And then Saturday
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: in Edmonton before coming home on Sunday for the home opener.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: So make sure you tune in, listen. Listen for that
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: sound or be the 10th caller. 206-286-9595. All right, well,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you wait for one. Let me go through this story
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: because I don't think there's anything new. This is all
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: having to do with Vegas. According to Shams Charania. Is
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: that his name? Shams?
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: Shams?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Charania? Shams. Shams.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Hold on, John's calling.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, you grab John. So yeah, we know who the guys,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: people are going to own it here. It's the One
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Roof group in Seattle is going to own it. So
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: as far as... Vegas, though, Nancy Walton-Lorey, the daughter of
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the Walmart co-founder, along with Bill Lorey, who is the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: former owner of the St. Louis Blues. They're among the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: people looking for it as well as the current owner
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: of the Vegas Golden Knights, Bill Foley, and also a
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Canadian billionaire whose name I'm not going to try to pronounce.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Those are the finalists, and the NBA has to decide
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: who it's going to be. And once they do that,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: then the process will continue. And we should hear something
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: coming up in the next couple months about possible NBA.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: It wasn't John.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: It's a lot of people thinking they heard the Kraken
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: ticket Tuesday sounder.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: You didn't. They didn't.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: We didn't play it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: Okay. All right.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: We're blowing up the phone lines now.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Wait. How would they think that we
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: played that? I don't have a clue. It's a pretty
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: easy thing. You hear a horn. You hear that. And
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: then away we go.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: No.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: That's not that hard. Can't be that hard.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: Stop calling.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Stop calling. We'll give you the tickets here soon, but
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: it's not right now. Could be any time after this segment,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the next segment. Ashley has a Factor Fiction pick coming
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: up at 2.35. Could be after that. Might be before that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: You try John again. As I look through this story, yeah,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: there's nothing Seattle related to this as far as the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: story that just crossed on ESPN. We are expecting, we're
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: kind of waiting for this news. He mentions in here
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: that The league, which will hold a formal approval process
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: by the end of December on two expansion teams, is
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: closing in Las Vegas. I think it's going to be
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: well before then. At least that's what we heard. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: don't think they're going to take it all the way
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: through the holidays into Christmas, but that's what it sounds
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: like he's thinking. But the Climate Pledge Arena Group, ready-made home.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: There was something a couple weeks ago that was brought up,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: and I'll address it real quick while we wait for
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: John in regards to that. And it was along the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: lines of Adam Silver said, yeah, you know, there would,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: there would have to be, you know, we can, we
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: can be ready for the NBA in a matter of
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: a few weeks in Seattle at climate pledge. And true.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: The headline was climate pledge needs work. People immediately took
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: that as, oh my God, are they gonna have to
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: build a new building? None of those things are true.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: The building is NBA ready, tweaking it in however way
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you tweak it. That's all you're talking about here. That's
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: not like, it's not like it, like, like the headline was, oh,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: they need to make sure. No, no.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: They're good. There's a locker room, locker rooms, plural, that
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: are NBA locker rooms. You know what would have to
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: be changed? They're being used for storage right now. That's
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: what would have to change. You'd have to clean those out,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: put the new lockers in, and away you go.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: If anybody went to, well, and I'll be honest, I've
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: been to a storm game in Climate Pledge. I'm that guy.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I apologize. So I can't speak on the storm necessarily.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I can speak on when we went a couple of
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: years ago to NCAA tournament. And that was spectacular. I
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: thought that, I mean, the building was spectacular for that.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: That's probably a good comp in a sense. They take
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: some of the seats away on the court side for
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: media and broadcast and stuff. But I thought it was spectacular.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: And I just, I can't imagine a better facility right now.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I've been to a lot of NBA buildings. I can't
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: imagine a better facility. So that's not going to be
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: a problem.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: John Lund standing by. Is that what I'm hearing? Let's
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Here he goes.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: It's time for Ian's weekly visit with John Lund, Unleashed,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the Bay Area rock star who Ian's been kicking around
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: for a couple of decades. They'll be talking NFC West,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the Niners, and the Hawks. Sponsored by Chambers Bay Distillery. Landcrafted, ocean-aged,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Northwest-inspired premium spirits.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Stop by the.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Chambers Bay Distillery tasting room at University Place Town Center
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: featuring craft cocktails and tasty bites in mixed seating spaces
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: with bar seats, tables, and couches. Now attempting to keep
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the 49ers stocked to a minimum, here's John Lund with Ian.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Big thanks to Chambers Bay Distillery, the brand new sponsor
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: of the John Lund segment whenever it does begin on
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: a Tuesday here on the radio show. Chambers Bay Straight Bourbon,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: my favorite. Their signature bourbon made from local corn, wheat,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: and malted barley. What makes it truly unique? John, you're
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: asking me that question, I'll tell you. The answer is
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the oak barrels mature in a floating boathouse on Puget Sound,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: where the natural movement and maritime environment enhance the aging
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: process and flavor for not just their bourbon, which is sensational,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: but also the raw vodka. And the Ghost Dog Whiskey,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: the Greenhorn Bourbon, the Dead Eye Gin, and all of
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: it there at Chambers Beta Sorte. And yes, I am
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: checking on possible shipment of a gift to you.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Let's go.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: To you, sir, down there in the John Lund headquarters,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: wherever that may be today.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: You'll have to send it to the 3-0 castle. You see,
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: I don't know if I can speak with you today
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: because you're just 2-1.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I knew that was coming. And I'm 3-0.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: It's a beautiful castle here.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: I wish you could stay, but it's much too uppity
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: for you.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: The view is wonderful.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: The food, the grapes.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's just amazing.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: You guys beat Miami. You beat Miami, man. You beat
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the JV team. We beat the Rams. And we appreciate that.
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: They didn't beat a duck. They didn't beat an old
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: Oregon duck, Marcus Mariota. Marcus Mariota looked like.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: A Hall of Famer.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: What was that?
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: What happened to Mike McDonald? Was Mike McDonald hungover on
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: those third downs? What happened?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: They had.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: Listen.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: The Marcus Mariota led Washington commanders had 280 yards of offense.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if it was really the defense's fault,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: or maybe just maybe it would have been the three turnovers.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: That might have been the problem. I could be wrong.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I tell you, when we had Sam Darnold here,
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: he never threw.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I think I'm coaching.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: I mean, when he was under Kyle Shanahan, he never threw.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Because he never played. He never played. Come on, man.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: Don't confuse the people with the facts. He never threw
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: pick sixes.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: He never did any of that here.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: So that must be like he's just not under the
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: hand of Kyle Shanahan anymore, and clearly he's lost his way.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: He may have to come back. He may have to
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: come back to.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: Get a refresher course.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: We don't do that here. He'll throw pick sixes around here.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: This just in from Alan and the crew at Chambers
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Bay Distillery. Tell Len to go buy a plastic bottle.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: of Potters.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I had a feeling that that sponsor would be short-lived.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: I thought that that was like, hey, tell that guy
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: we're not sponsoring this crap. Are you kidding me?
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Tell him we're done. They're Husky fans, too. If you
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: want to start trashing Washington, that'll really help process. Oh,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: my God. That was horrible. Minnesota.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Just because Minnesota, Michigan, I think are on big
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: Fox noon kickoff thing.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Or whatever that thing is.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: It's like, that's not a good, I don't know. PJ
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: Fleck running all around like he's Sean McVay. I mean,
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: what the hell is that on your home field?
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what happened to Washington's quarterback, man?
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I thought that guy was supposed to be good.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: LSU wanted to pay him like $ 10 million, didn't they?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think he's upset because he's only making
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: $ 4. 5 million, so he's pretty upset by that. I would
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: be too. That is not much. That is not much money.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Do not refer to them as we, by the way,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: because that's not a we. It's not a we thing.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: It's not an Ian thing by any chance. Yeah, that's
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: a good point. I might have been saying... I'll take
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: that one back.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: One thing, I'll take that one back.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I might have been saying roll the boat on Saturday night.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Row the boat. Row the boat.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Wow. Row the boat.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Minnesota.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, land of a thousand lakes. All right, let's get
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: to it. What the hell's going on? What's going on
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: in this year's NFL? Let's share something fun for a second.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Let's share something fun. Did we all enjoy watching not
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: just the Rams lose, but lose where they really kind
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: of got screwed over? I thought that was sensational. It's
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: one thing to lose when you just get whooped and
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: beat like the Niners did to them the first week,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: but really... A couple of egregious calls going against them.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm sure you guys down in
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the Bay Area did, too.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: I loved it. Yeah, I loved every second of it. Like, oh, yeah,
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: it should have been an interception and this and that.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: You can't look at PI.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: And then I was watching ESPN the next day, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: they were saying how they should be able to look
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: at pass interference again. And I have Mike Ferreira on
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: my show from Fox. Mike lives in Northern California. He's
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: a great guy. like they tried it for that one
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: season and all season long, he was just, he said
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: behind the scenes, people were losing their minds. It'll never
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: come back. It's just the dumbest concept ever. And you know, look,
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: it happens, but it couldn't happen to a nicer team. Like,
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: here's one thing we can agree on that. Seeing the
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: Rams at one and two, when all the preseason hype
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: and this, that the other, and it's like, you got
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: to play man. And by the way, the other great
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: thing that you saw was how many times Aaron Donald
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: got pancaked twice.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, just smoked twice.
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: And look, at least pro football focus, whatever you believe
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: on that, they have Denver as the number one line
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: in the league, and that's a good offensive line. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: Aaron Donald did next to nothing, and then you didn't
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: have Miles Garrett, whatever, and no Puka Nakua.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: That's part of the league, and it's part of injuries. But, yeah,
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: I couldn't have– because the best thing in sports right
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: now to me– is when Sean McVay takes his play
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: card and hits himself in the head with it because.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: He knows the game's over.
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: That was awesome when that happened.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: He just points himself in the head on that fourth
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: and one or whatever it was.
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: Points himself in the head with his card and it's like, dude,
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: put that on a loop, a never-ending loop.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: The Aaron Donald thing's an interesting one because I was
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: going to ask you. I watch him and it's They
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: focus so much on him in the broadcast, and rightfully so.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: The guy's a first ballot Hall of Famer. He's coming back.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: He's a huge name. Multiple-time Defensive Player of the Year,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: all those things. And as you watch him, he'll make
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: a play, but it's not like he makes that many
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: more plays than, to me at least, the average guy.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know. When you're talking to your NFL guys
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: down there, what they're saying, I'll probably talk to Cosell
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: about it on Friday a little bit and just say, hey,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: what are we seeing from Aaron Donald? Because they put
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of eggs in that basket. I mean, obviously
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the Miles Garrett thing, he'll come back at some point
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: and that's going to help them immensely. But they're thinking, hey,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: we get these two guys. Now, Garrett's going to help
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: them immensely. But if Aaron Donald's just a guy, now
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: maybe he ends up getting better as the year goes on,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: gets his ski legs. But if he's just a guy,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: that'll be a disappointment for them.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: Well, here's the other thing too, is, and I don't
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: know Seattle's cap situation. So you can tell me that,
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: but you know, it's not like he's cheap. I think
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: he's making like 20 million bucks and I expect him
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: to get better, but a 35 year old guy who
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: hasn't played for two years, I don't care how good
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: you are. There's probably going to be some drop off
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: at the beginning. And I do expect him to get better. However,
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: if he doesn't, Let me give you an example, say
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: with like the 49ers, the 49ers have a super bowl
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: caliber offense and they, Mike Evans are not Purdy's playing
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: at a really high level. And your guy McCaffrey starting
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: to warm up a little bit. They finally went with,
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: I think with 19 touches in the backup only at four. So,
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: you know, Kyle's going back to the, to the well
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: on that a bunch of times, George Kittle, six catches
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: for 82 yards and two touchdowns. He, even though he's
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: coming out from the Achilles at eight at age 32,
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: But their defense, the numbers lie. The metrics say that
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: the defense has given up like 16 points a game,
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: and they're 3.7 a carry, and they're this great defense.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: They're not.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: They're not what they were. They're not a Super Bowl-caliber defense.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: It's just been, like you said, some weak competition, and
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: the Rams stunk. because of the travel at the beginning.
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: So they're going to have to do some work on
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: the defense. They've got $ 50 million in salary cap space,
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: which is number one in the league. And they've got
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: extra picks and all this kind of stuff. They're in
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: a position, as you know, with, okay, there's a bunch
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: of injuries, especially on the defensive line. They can go
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: out and get somebody, you know, they, they've got, they're
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: going to have that ability. And I don't, Seattle may,
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: but the Rams don't, you know, the Rams have put
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: so much, like you said, that money in this, this
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: whole thing, the eggs in the basket of Aaron Donald,
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: he was their big pickup. And at the deadline, unless
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: I'm wrong here, they don't have money to do that.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: They don't have endless money. And so they've got age.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: They've got injuries. They're already starting out a little bit slow.
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: and they're not going to have that ability to go
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: make that big splash. The 49ers do. Like I said,
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: I don't know what the cap situation is for Seattle.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: I'm sure John Snyder's great at manipulating, and it's a
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: fluid situation. You can always redo a guy's contract or
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: whatever to get somebody in, but the Niners don't even
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: have to do that. They could add one, they could
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: add two guys at the deadline on their defense because
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: their defense needs it. Their offense, Super Bowl caliber, their
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: defense is not.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Brett, this is the third straight home game for the
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: 49ers coming up against Denver, huh? What are you playing,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: a whole back half of the schedules on the road
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: or what?
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah. And that's where it is, is they're going to
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: get off to a great start. I mean, I wouldn't
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: even be shocked. I'll probably be a hundred percent wrong
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: in this because that's what I am. So don't bet,
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: bet against me. You'll, you'll make a bunch of money,
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: but I mean, they could be nine and one. I mean,
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: I think they're going to lose up at Seattle. I don't,
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: I don't think they win that game. It'll be good,
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: but I don't think they're going to win that game,
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: but they, all the rest of their schedule, it's not
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: really a tough schedule. But then they get to the
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: backside of the schedule, and it's, you know, the division
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: games and Kansas City's in there and Philly's in there,
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: and Philly didn't look very good last night. But, you know,
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: there's a lot of tough games, and a lot of
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: those games are on the road in the second half
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: of the season. So, yeah, they could build a real
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: gaudy record, and everybody could be looking at the 49ers
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: and going, hey, they look pretty good. And not that
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: they're not, but the backside of their schedule is where
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: the tough games happen, and a lot of them happen
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: on the road.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: John Lund brought to you by Chambers Bay Distillery. Look
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: for the tasting room down there in Bridgeport down on
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Beautiful University Place, town center, fantastic spot. They got trivia tonight,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: great craft cocktails, and of course, the signature bourbons, along
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: with the Ron Vodka, Ghost Dog Whiskey, and the Dead
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Eye Gin, which is fantastic as well. Check it out,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Chambers Bay Distillery. The Rams at one and two, we
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: know they'll bounce back, they'll get going. But those losses,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: like you just, you start getting a couple, it starts
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: hurting you a little bit. And I would just kind
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: of go down that list. Our friends, because I think
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: we know this, there will be at least one, probably
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: two wildcard teams out of the NFC West. So you
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: start looking around the rest of the NFC, that right-hand column,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: that lost column, they start adding up. And I'll just
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: look to the Dallas Cowboys right off the get-go at
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: one and two. They got issues down there again. It's amazing.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: They got issues again down in Dallas. They've given up
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: 82 points already this season.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: Know, and, and years and years and years ago, I
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: covered them. And the problem in Dallas is number one,
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: the owner doesn't die to win. He, he, his main
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: thing or his scoreboard is on the financial side of things.
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: And he creates these issues and there's a weird pressure.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: And Texas is just a, is a football state. And
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: it's just, it's, it's almost like playing in New York,
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: playing for the Cowboys. And sometimes you can handle it.
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: Sometimes you don't. And he doesn't quell the things down.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: You know how it is after they finish a game,
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: Jerry goes to the middle and everybody starts asking Jerry questions.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: It undermines the coach, whoever.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Is the coach there.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: He doesn't want a big-name coach. He wants somebody he
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: can control. The whole dynamic in Dallas is not conducive
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: to winning. And they thought they fixed their defense.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: They did not.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: Dak is always a conversation point. He doesn't always handle
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: it the best way. They're just a mess. George Pickens
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: is going back to a moody George Pickens ways. You know, it's,
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: it's hard to play there. And I just don't think
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: they have the personnel and everybody said that they were
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: going to have this great defense. I don't see it.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: And then you, you talked about like the NFC, there's
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: something around the Eagles. I don't know what it is
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: because I thought AJ Brown was going to be addition
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: by subtraction. There's still a weirdness. Maybe it's Nick Sirianni
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: and he needs to go, but the Eagles, I don't
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: think are a contender at this point, even though they're
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: two in one, they're just too weird to, Chicago last
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: night was great. You had the third stringer is their defense,
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: the defense to give up 37 or the last two weeks.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: I don't trust Minnesota at all. No, no. I mean,
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: we all know Kyler. I mean, Kyler's Kyler's not the answer.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: And I don't think that Wentz at this point is a,
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: is a full-time starter. So look, all these, the Packers
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: are a complete mess. The lions don't have a defense. So,
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: you know, for all those things that are happening, it's
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: still going to come down to the NFC West. You know,
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: I don't care that the ramp, just like you said,
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: I don't care that the Rams are wanting to, it's
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: going to come down to the Rams, the Niners and
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: the Seahawks and the other divisions are good. And somebody
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: might be able to do something, but you know what
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: I just, and I don't believe in anybody in the South.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: So I like the numbers that Chuck is putting up,
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: even though he's a former duck, I mean, he's putting
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: up some numbers for New Orleans, but they're not very good.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: It's going to come down to the three teams that.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: You and I are always talking about. Well, like I said,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the hard thing here in this division is that one
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: of those teams is going to have home field advantage,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: and the other two have to go on the road.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Because there's going to be two wild card teams coming out.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: It's like the AL East in baseball this year. You
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: have three best records. We're all one, two, three, those
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: three teams. And yet two of those teams have to
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: go on the road for the postseason when it's all
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: said and done. John Lund joining us, brought to you
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: by Chambers. See, I want to.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: As of Wednesday, and people were chiming in on the
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: text line, we're going to bust your chops here about
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: yet another injury, Bosa hurt, and you don't even have
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: enough room on the injured list right now. You can't
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: even do that. And then the next day, Julian Love,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: we find out, is hurt and he's going to miss
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: the game. So both starting safeties for Seattle are out.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: uh you know and and the starting right guard which
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: everybody used to hate on now they're like god when's
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: bradford coming back we need bradford it's like weren't you
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: guys all hating on bradford a year ago i could
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: have sworn that was the case uh but but the
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: injuries what the hell happened to bosa.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: It's the weirdest thing i mean i don't even know
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: what to say anymore you know like we every day
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: we're like if you got a theory if you got
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: it you know Bosa's played on a ball.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: He's had a lot of injuries.
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: He's had three ACLs, two on one, his right knee,
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: one on his left. He's had all sorts of muscle injuries,
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: but they work out like crazy, but you're starting to
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: see him like, is he, you know, is Nick mostly
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: going to be Joey Bosa? I mean, Joey Bosa is 31.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: He's out of the league, right?
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: He's just had so many injuries. And Nick is going
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: down that path. And I don't know if it's because
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: they work out too hard or whatever the case may be.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: But so he was warming up before practice last Thursday
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: and he pulled a calf muscle. Like who does that
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: in warmup, you know, just really weird. And so he's
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: out at least three weeks. And then, so they had
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: to bring in Matthew Jude on it's two position groups.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: It's the defensive line is the wide receiver. So they,
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: they had to bring in Matthew Jude on who hasn't
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: been effective since like 22. And he was with the
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: Ravens and the, and the Patriots. And then they brought
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: in Brandon Cooks, who's been on just about every team
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: imaginable for the wide receiver group because it's every single week.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: And when Kyle does his press conferences, it's unbelievable.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: We carry it.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: But I tell the guys, I'm like, let's just carry
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: the first five to seven minutes because that's the injuries.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: And that's all that really matters. Who cares about all
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: the other, you know, side talk. But it's, you know,
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: who's going to play this week. And he's saying like,
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: you know, Mike Evans at 33 is day to day.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: Aren't we all, but Mike Evans at 33 might play,
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: might not play. They've already got a ton of injuries
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: at wide receiver and then defensive line. It's like, what's
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: going on with both of what's going on. You know,
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: there's tons of different guys. So they're having to bring
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: in these vets. I mean, this, this thing that happened
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: during the pandemic where you could put these veterans on
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: a practice squad, it might as well be the 49ers rule.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: I mean, they've got like three or four vets on
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: their practice squad because if they, you know, they may
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: activate and depending on who can play, but like Brandon
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: cooks may play this week off the practice squad. Cause
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: we don't know what's going on with Mike Evans and
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: all Evans has done is he's got 12 passes. He's
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: got 12 first downs and three touchdowns.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: He's been ridiculous.
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: And what happens on every play, what Evans has meant
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: to them is on every play, why Purdy is better.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: I think is that he's got an advantage with Kittle.
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: He's got an advantage with CMC and he's got an
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: advantage with Mike Evans. Evans is six, five with 35
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: inch arms. I know he's been around forever, but like he,
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: if it's contested, he's going to get it. So Purdy's like, okay,
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: I got three advantages when I snapped the ball. And
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: if Evans is out, then that's a, that's a major
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: deal for the 49ers offense. He's been awesome.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: He still may have the best defensive player in the
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: division and maybe the conference as well in Warner. I
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: know people get mad. What about Fred Warner?
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: He's good.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: We saw last year when he was out. He had
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: 17 tackles.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: He had 17 tackles last week. It's weird.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: He's 29.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: He's coming off a major injury. I think there's going
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: to be two linebackers. These guys go to the Hall
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: of Fame and everything, and it's a different age or whatever.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: When all is said and done with this age of linebackers,
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: it's going to come down to Fred Warner and Bobby Wagner.
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: Those are the two guys that had the speed and
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: could cover everybody and yet could still thump you in
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: the middle.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: They could blitz.
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: They could do everything. To me, those are the best
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: two linebackers of the generation. I'll give Bobby Wagner a
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: ton of credit, Utah State Aggie. But him and Warner,
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: they're the prototype linebacker that you want.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. All right, we'll take this off and say
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: goodbye and good luck against the Broncos. God, second week
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: in a row we're in Seattle rooting for the Denver Broncos.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: We feel dirty. Absolutely dirty about that. I know, that is.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Just awful.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: That is really dirty.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: When we check in next.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: Oh, root for Sean Payton.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: And by the way, I know you got to go,
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: and I know I was late, but one really quick thing. Yes.
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: Mike McDonald would never give up play calling duties. Kyle
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: Shanahan would never give up play calling duties.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: Why is Sean McVay giving up play calling duties to
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: Davis Webb?
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: It's like, Davis Webb, you want to go.
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: Somewhere else and be the OC and possibly head coach?
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: You hired Sean Payton to call plays in Denver, and
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: then they're struggling offensively.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: It just.
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: And he's getting pissed, too. You can see on the sideline, like,
• 24:40

• 26:17
  Speaker 2: is what they're saying right now, 4.3 earthquake. It was
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: centered over in Kitsap County. If I'm looking at the
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: map correctly, a few miles west of Burley, which would
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: be about 20 miles southwest of Port Orchard on the
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: way if you're going out to Allen. So, yeah, 4.3.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Depends on where you're at. Might have felt the 4.3
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: magnitude earthquake.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: I felt it.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Did you feel it? I looked in there at Ashley,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: and she kind of had this look on her face.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, I know. Lens of pain. I get it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: No, it was because my chair went sideways.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't notice it because we have trains that
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: go by our building all the time, and the place
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: always shakes.
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and I got used to that. That's like a
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: just rattle. This was like everything just jolted one time.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, hopefully everyone out there is okay. It
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: sounds like, I mean, 4.3, you'll feel it, but hopefully
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: no damage.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Minimal damage.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Minimal damage, yeah. Welcome to the Pacific Northwest.

  Speaker 2: what you got?
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, I really like the Buffalo Bills this year,
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: and they came through last week for me, barely. Thanks
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: for the eight-point win on the seven-and-a-half point spread. I
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: think it was seven-and-a-half, seven, whatever. They barely came through.
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: This one I like a little bit better. They're hosting
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: the Patriots. And they're six and a half point favorites.
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: So a touchdown wins it. So give me Buffalo minus
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: the six and a half versus New England.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Buffalo minus six and a half against Drake May. He'll
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: give up at least 14 points just on turnovers.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: See, there we go.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Right. I like it. All right. So Ashley going again

  Speaker 2: with Buffalo at home. Brand new Highmark Stadium, Orchard Park,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: New York, New York.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: Also feels like they've had a lot of home games.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Kind of like the 49ers.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this is their third in a row, I think.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 49ers, three in a row at home games. All right,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: so again, it's Buffalo minus six and a half. Just
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: got to win by a touchdown and an extra point
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: over the hated New England Patriots and Drake May and

• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, me and Sandmeyer. We tried to look for the audio,
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: but we can't find it.
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: I looked. Must be that new producer. Got no idea
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: what the hell she's doing over there.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, you were in here with me thinking of
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: all the things it would be under.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Jackson knows where it is, but we
• 31:50

  Speaker 3: He's not to be bothered on vacation. Again? Do not

  Speaker 2: Wasn't he on vacation last week?
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: I have no idea.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: All right, so when you were on... It was the
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: old building.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: It was 351.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: So I didn't feel it. Ashley felt it. A ton
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: of our listeners are texting in. A guy called in.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: The one from today you're talking about. I didn't feel
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: it at all. Well, this was the Nisqually, which was 01,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: is that right? What year was the Nisqually?
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: Was it 01? Yeah, maybe it was.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Right around then, yeah. Because I was in Salt Lake
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: when it happened. I remember that.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: 2001. And so we're at the old building, and this
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: is back in the day when we had shelves in
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: the studio with actual media guides.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, hard copies. Yes. Okay.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: And, you know, those things are heavy, and they're all
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: falling off the wall. Sam Meyer's under the table. Get
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: under the effing table, right over the air. I don't
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: know if they made it over the air or not.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: I just know that we recorded it, right? And so
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: my whole deal being on the air is like, God, dude,
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: shut up. I want people to hear this.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: I want people to hear what it's like with crap
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: falling off the walls in the studio. So that was
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: 25 years ago, man. I was 28 years old. I mean,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: it felt like it lasted for like 30 seconds. It
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: was legit. It was legit.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: For sure. I remember I was in Salt Lake, and
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: I remember seeing the damage, like downtown specifically, Pioneer Square.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: And I was like, damn, that is.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: It's one of those things, like, you know, if you're
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: in the south, what, southeast, you're living with the threat
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: of a hurricane every year.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Right, right.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: And that just is every year. We're living with that threat.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: How often do you hear, oh, a big one's going
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: to happen?
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: And you never think about it, and then you hear,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: is that the first one?
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Well, here's what's going to happen. At some point in time,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: the big one's going to hit Seattle, which is why
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: I would move east, number one. And then number two,
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: the volcano underneath Yellowstone is going to blow.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: Oh, perfect.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: It's going to blow.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Perfect.
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: It's going to take out the entire Western Hemisphere.
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: Oh, wow.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Western Hemisphere. Yeah, totally.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: So it doesn't matter where we go. So we don't
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: need to move east.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Have you not read about the super volcano underneath Yellowstone?
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: I already freaked out. It's scary as hell.
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: It is scary as hell. No. Okay?
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: No.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: It's not scary?
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: No, I just don't want to hear about it.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: What happens if the volcano under Yellowstone blows up? I'm
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: asking AI right now.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: What does Syrian AI say?
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: If the Yellowstone super volcano were to experience a cataclysmic
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: caldera-forming super eruption, it would cause catastrophic regional destruction and
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: severe global climate disruption. So, yeah, there you go.
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: Sounds promising.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Areas closest to the park in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: would face total destruction.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Total destruction.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, so, yeah.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: I feel like Jay Inslee wrote that. That's what it
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: feels like.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: So you're saying total destruction.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: No, he did not write that, but he's charging us
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: an extra dollar for gas to get us ready for it.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you that. Exactly. Well, I'm glad that we
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: got the Softie love affair in on today's show, just
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: in case the big one does hit. That's right. Ash,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: was there a lot of love for Softie today during
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: the Molly Wap segment?
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, a lot of support for you.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Why would that be, by the way? What did I do?
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: I feel like you're setting me up for something.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: They liked your questions yesterday.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like Nate and Chris were very complimentary of you,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: and then I was as well, and I'm still feeling
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: the aftershocks of that.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Well, I'd like you to stop doing that. It makes
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: me uncomfortable. Please don't do that. Knock it off. Because
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: I don't want to compliment you, and I feel like
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: if you compliment me, I've got to compliment you, and
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: then you say something nice, and I've got to say
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: something nice. I don't like saying nice things about people,
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: so just let's not do that.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Let's not start that train, all right? Let's not go
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: down that road. Think about this. The mollywop guys were
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: throwing compliments your way. Like, what does that say? Don't
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: trick anybody.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: I had to go home and ice my ass from
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: sitting on that table yesterday during the press conference. My God.
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: Comments about that, too.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Well, I was actually thinking for a second. If I
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: fall off this thing, can I file an HR complaint?
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Like a workman's comp thing? No, but you could own
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: part of the Mariners.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Hey, how about that? Stanton loses piece of pie to
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Softee after a press conference-related injury.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: Let's find a new way for you to get injured
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: at T-Mobile Park.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Can you head back down there? Oh, God, that'd be funny.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: If it means I get a piece of the ownership group,
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: then I will fall off the table.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I think there's a sitcom there. Can you imagine the sitcom?
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Here we are at T-Mobile, there's the big board meeting,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: and ownership walks in, everyone's all dressed up, and here
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: comes Softie.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Well, it's like in Major League, when the gal took
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: over the team and tried to lose on purpose to
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: move the team to Florida.
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: Except you'd try to help them win.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: And they're not going to be taking pieces of your
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: clothing off.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, every time the Mariners win
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: a game, there will be a cutout of me naked,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: and you can peel a piece of my clothing off.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Or put it back on.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: That would be the incentive.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: That's a good idea. I think it should be.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Naked and we cover you.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: If you don't win the World Series, Softie, we'll get naked.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: Hey, look at that.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: That's our first fight in the NHL. First fight in
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: the NHL this year.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Glory is tough.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: By the way, speaking of that, Lane Lambert's on the
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: show tomorrow, by the way.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Is he?
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: Nice.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: At 345.
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: All right. We're going to ask him if the team
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: got tougher. Did they get tougher?
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: A lot.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: You think so?
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: That's the one thing they didn't improve. I don't know
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: if they can score more goals, but they got tougher.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: I hope you're right.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: They got a lot tougher. I hope you're right. If not,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: you know what?
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: I seem to remember you saying the same thing.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: A year ago. No, I never say anything about toughness.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: A year before that? A year before that? Here's the thing.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: A year before that?
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: If it doesn't work, Mike Benton at iHeartMedia.com.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'd just fire the guy, to be honest with you.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: I think this is all on him.
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: Benton?
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this entire year. This is ridiculous. If there's something wrong...
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, we've had three different coaches.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: We've had different players.
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: We've had different studio TV analysts.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: We've had different TV color guys.
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Different radio color guys.
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: The one constant is that guy, Mike Benton. Okay, that's it.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Doesn't work, you've got to whack him.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: I think you're right.
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: I love that his terminology every time when someone should
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: lose their job is whack him.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: You've got to whack him. That means that you're going
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: to kill him.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: He just drove off the road in St.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Louis County. Poor Mike.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: All right, what do you got coming up today?
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: Wilner?
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Wilder's here. 4 o'clock today, honks. Larry Stone will
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: join us at 6 o'clock, and we'll ask him if
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: he's ever been to a press conference while he's sitting
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: on a table at 6 p.m. We'll do that. By
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: the way, I heard that was, like, not a PR
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: call at all.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: No, it came higher up.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: That was over their heads. Higher than them, higher than Jerry.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: High up. You figure it out. You figure it out.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: This is a multiple-choice question.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: Unnecessary. Unnecessary, man.
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Like, why do you do that? You know why? Why
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: do you do it? Why are you the way you are?
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: New owner of the Mariners, Dave Softe-Mahler, coming up next.
