• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Nine o'clock hour here on this football Friday. Great to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: have you with us. And, of course, a Friday would
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: not be complete without hearing from our own Hugh Millen,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: our QB1, and his world-famous X's and O's segment every
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Friday brought to you by Frostbrook Coors Light. Good morning, sir.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: The world's a tiny place.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Good morning. Great to be with you.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: No, I was talking to some people from Singapore last night.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: You didn't get the other side reference, did you, on
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: the Aerosmith? Steven Tyler is just leading you right into it.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: Right into the first, right?
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Okay. Yeah.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I still get it.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: What do you mean? The other side.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: He's on the other side.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Jeez.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I got it.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I got it here. Hold your hand.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Get your head in the game.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: It's Friday.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: It's a football Friday.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Got it. Got it. Got it. Got it.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Didn't need to be explained to me like a child.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I'll admit it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting here playing with my crayons on the. On
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the tablecloth.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Go back in the sandbox and roll around a little bit.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, take us to the other side. Take
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: us to your feelings as we now have to, for
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the first time in Seahawks history, devise a plan to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: stop Ken Walker.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Well, I would say, first of all, just where's your
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: mind at? And don't lose the emotional battle. Let me
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: explain what I mean. Most of us watched the Washington-Purdue game.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Did you notice how Ryan Walters, there was an intensity
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: that he had, not only that Ryan Walters had, but
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: because he's coming back to Purdue, did you notice how
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: the defense, it's like, hey, coach, we got you. Like
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: they sensed how important it was to Ryan Walters. And
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: I'll bet you Ryan Walters never, ever said, you know, hey,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I'm going back to my foreign place. Let's do this.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: I think that Kenneth Walker is a likable teammate by
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: his former teammates. I think he's a likable teammate by
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: his current teammates. And I think there's going to be
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: emotional edge that those blockers are going to have to
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: try and have canine have the type of return to
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Seattle that he wants. So here's Seattle defensively. I don't
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: think they dislike or have some like edge, you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: ax to grind with canine. They've got to make sure
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: that they are matching the intensity that I think Kansas
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: City might bring in an effort to have canines back.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Does that make sense?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean, obviously the conversation all week long,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and we did it during the roundtable for an entire segment,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: has been about Ken Walker and making his return and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: how just great he's looked with the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: for someone that thought that he could have looked that
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: way here in Seattle. Now that you look back on it,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: what were they, what was he not doing the right way?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: What were the Seahawks not doing the right way to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: unlock what Andy Reid and the Chiefs have done?
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Well, they're handing them the rock and they're, you know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I think it's kind of old school. You know, I
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: grew up, my first year playing tackle football was 1973,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: the year that OJ Simpson was, rushed for 2,000 yards.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: So I've lived through the era of where the running
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: back is the guy, right? And I meant to look
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: up the MVPs. I know there was a stretch there
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: where most MVPs were running backs. I apologize.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I meant to do that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: But I came from an era where it's like, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: even Mike Holmgren, you don't have to go really far back.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, Sean Alexander was going to get the ball.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: LaDainian Tomlinson was going to get the ball. And Morris
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: might get one or two carries if Sean was tired.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: But you don't have to go back 50 years. You
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: can go back 20 years to an era when if
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: you were the primary halfback, you carried the rock.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: And I think that that's.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: What K-9 was thrust into last year. He had the
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: stamina and the conditioning. The way he practices, he sprints
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: every play. Julian Love told us if the ball's on
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: the opposite 30, I'm quoting him directly, he's going to
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: finish every play in the end zone. So he has
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: the stamina to run through fourth quarters and to carry
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: the rock. He's got that burst. His 10-yard split of
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: his 40-yard dash at the combine was second of halfbacks
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: over a 10-year period. So it's not just his long
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: speed at 4'3, 8. It's that initial burst that allows
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: them to run the outside zone.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, get a.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Load of this, that now EPA. Um, I don't know
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: if you guys are, you know, maybe you've heard this
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: expected points added. It's this new metrics has kind of
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: come in the last few years. I've run the correlation numbers. It, it,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: It's there's high correlation to it. It's the essence of
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: the new QBR on the passing side. But the outside
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: runs EPA. I'm going to give you a third place.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Bijan Robinson. You like him? Well, the number is not
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: going to meet any. It's only going to be relative.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: But Bijan is a 7.4. Anders, can you write this down?
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: You got a pen there? James Cook is 8.4. You
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: like him?
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: That's third and second. Number one is Kenneth Walker at 22.1. Whoa!
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Like my study, just looking at these numbers, just everywhere
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: you look, it's just, you know, they're scary numbers. The
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: tape is scary for Seattle. That ability, that burst to
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: get outside and also... you know, to be able to, um,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: the strength on the cutbacks is, is, uh, yards after contact,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: I believe are second in the NFL. There's just, you know, he's,
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: he's a load. He's a problem. You got to get
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: emotionally up because I think the chiefs are going to
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: be emotionally up, uh, in, in his return, even if
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: he doesn't say it, I don't expect him to, but, um,
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: obviously it's a big facet of the game.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: It's pretty daunting when you think about it. I mean,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: as great as the Seahawks defense is as great as
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald is, I mean, It came out of my mouth,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: past my lips a little bit earlier. The key is
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: going to be you have to take something away. You've
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: got to stop Ken Walker and make Mahomes beat you.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: which I guarantee you every Chiefs fan in the world
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: will be like, okay, we're fine with that. I mean,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: what do you take away from them when you're talking
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: about one of the greatest quarterbacks of his era of
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: all time, and yet we're more worried about what the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: running back can do to disrupt the chance for victory?
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Mahomes has modified his game. I mean, his average depth
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: of target, these are out of 33 qualifying quarterbacks. I'm
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: not going to keep saying out of 33. His average
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: depth of target.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Is 30th.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: His short percentage, that's zero to nine yards from the
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: line of scrimmage, is third. His intermediate, this is the
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: area that he should be ripping it with that arm strength, right,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: from 10 to 19. All the comebacks, deep curls, crossing routes,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: all of that fits in this window.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: He's 32nd.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Deep percentage in the middle at 15th. And throwing to
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: outside receivers, he's 29th. He's in the middle teens for
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: slot and tight end. He's fifth throwing to the running back,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: to backs, obviously with K-9 there. So he's modified. He
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: has 55 yards scrambling. That's 18th. But here's the thing.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Here's how the Chiefs have changed. Last year, under center
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: play action. For the entire year, he got hurt at
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: the end, but he played 14 games. He had 29 attempts.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: This year, he already has 34 attempts. But last year,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: he had 151 yards. This year, he has 368 yards.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: So in six games, he got 368. Their yards per attempt,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: when he gets under center in play action, it was
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: at basically five yards per attempt. Now it's over 10
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: yards attempt. That's a big factor. And then when you
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: complement that with K-9 under center, he's 65 out of
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: 106 attempts, 462 yards. So he's 7.1 average. K-9, when
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: the quarterback is under center, Mahomes is under center, 7.1 average. Shotgun,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: it goes down to 5.5, and there's 10 snaps a
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: pistol at 3.2. So how they have changed their their
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: structure with him under center and doing these play actions
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: and what have you, it's more potent. It feeds the
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: running game better because of the angles and canine can
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: just get and go. You can be at the line
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: of scrimmage. You can say any word that begins with O.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Orange.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma. That's generally opposite. If you don't like the stretch left,
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: you can go stretch right. If you're under center, it
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: all works out. The sight lines are fine for canine
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: as opposed to pistol and so um you know they've
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: kind of changed they've they've changed pat mahomes and how
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: he attacks um relative you know because they've got they've
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: got canine and and here we are we got a
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: quarterback in sam darnold his turnover worthy plays are 5.7
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: of all snaps pat mahomes only 1.6 percent He's sitting
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: there going, I got canine. We're moving and grooving. Why
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: do I need to put the ball in harm's way?
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: So I think it's all functioning synergistically. Did I get
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: that right, Anders?
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: That's a good word. Well, yeah, I was like, how
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: does this noun become an adjective? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: At any rate, there's synergy in their offense. How about that?
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: I know I can stand on that one.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice work.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millen is with us, our QB1. It's X's and
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: O's with Hugh Millen every Friday as we get you
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: set for Seahawks Chiefs Sunday night football. And look, I mean,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: like I said, it's a bit daunting to have to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: face them, but it's got to be daunting to face
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a Mike McDonald defense, which Mahomes has not done a lot.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Certainly has never faced the Seahawks defense under Mike McDonald. And,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and it hasn't even, and the two times that he's
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: faced him have been to the playoffs and he didn't
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: exactly light things up. So, I mean, how excited are
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you to see how Mike McDonald plays chess with Andy
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Reed on Sunday?
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: I'm always excited. It's, it's, it's always, um, you know,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: I just get my popcorn and, and I love it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: And I, I think, I think we should all love
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: it because there's, uh, you know, masterminds going at it here. Um,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: One thing, I think there's a competitor. There's certainly competitors
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: in that building. John Snyder doesn't want to get showed
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: up and get dunked on by Kenneth Walker in this trade.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: I think Mike McDonald as well. I couldn't speak to
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: that as much, but certainly they're all competitors. So I
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: would say you don't want to get out of your
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: scheme Seattle has been through, through the years, they're content
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: to play a light box, keep their safeties back and
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: trust their front seven, whatever, you know, sometimes it's a
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: front six, depending on the formation, but that trust the
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: light box to stop the run. So you don't want
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: him getting, you know, because of the emotion, Oh, I
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: got to stop number nine. And the competition that is,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: that is obviously central to this game. You don't want him,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: getting off his mojo. I doubt he would do that.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: I think he's too smart. He's too brilliant. I think he's, uh,
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: emotionally in control of himself, but it's something that I'll
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: be watching, you know, is he trying to get those
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: safeties down there and get feisty and what have you.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: And now all of a sudden my homes, you know,
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: he's got, uh, you know, they got a banged up
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: receiver group. She, he's out, but, but they got, you know, worthy, uh,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: You know, Xavier Worthy is, you know, was at one
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: time the fastest guy in the history of the combine.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: You don't want to get into a single safety defense
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: where he's running by, you know, a Josh Jobe or
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: something and getting a big play. So that would be
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: a factor. But I'd be remiss. We have to talk
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: if we're talking about Seahawks defense against Kansas City. We
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: have to talk about their tackle situation. Josh Simmons has
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: had a bad. a back situation, and Khalil Benson, who
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: never played left tackle in college, who is an undrafted
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: free agent. He's 72nd out of 74 pass blockers. Our
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: edge rushers, Seattle's edge rushers, cannot be silent. You cannot
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: be watching this game and not hearing Uchenna Nwosu and
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Derek Hall and Demarcus Lawrence. And if Leonard Williams is
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: out there, let him eat too. Remember now, in that
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Charger game, the backup left tackle, Nwosu made the play
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: of the game, ending the game on the sack strip
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: of Justin Herbert. So you've got to abuse these left tackles.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Now Jalen Moore, their right tackle, looks like he's going
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: to be out with a concussion. Joshua Ezeadu, Only had
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: three snaps at right tackle before last week. It's his
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: first start of his season. These edge rushers have to
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: put their imprint on this game.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Seattle has 16 sacks on the season.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: It's ninth in the NFL, but they only have three
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: from the edge players, two from Derek Hall and one,
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: the Nwosu one I just mentioned. They have got to,
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: we got to hear their names. They've got to create
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: a problem. And if you go back, where Mahomes and
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: the Chiefs won two straight Super Bowls. They were endeavoring
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: to be the first team ever to go three straight.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: They ran into the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: What was their biggest problem?
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: They had Joe Tooney, their left guard, bounce out to
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: left tackle, and they couldn't handle Josh Sweat. And the Eagles,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: every single time, every single one of those, excuse me,
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Kansas City passes, every single one of the game, the
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Eagles rushed four. They never had to blitz, but they
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: feasted on backup offensive linemen, and they completely dominated the Chiefs.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: It's got to be that kind of game, and it's
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: got to be that kind of game against these tackles,
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: and the one concern I had had about this defense
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: in training camp, we talked about it, is are they
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: a little bit long in the tooth, and And, you know, boy, Mafia,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: I understand you don't want to pay him 20 million,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: let him go to Cincinnati. But, you know, you just like, oh,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: I'd like to have one young edge guy in there,
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: you know, but but they're they're older, but they're rested.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: They've got three extra days and they're they you know,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: this has got to be like the Discovery Channel. When
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: you watch this Discovery Channel, who are the Lions picking?
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Which wildebeest are the Lions picking on? They're picking on
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: the lame one and the young one. And that's exactly
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: the way it's got to look on Sunday night, in
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: my opinion, because you hand a Mike McDonald and a
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: defense like that, a limping wildebeest, there's got to be
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: terror right now. uh on the planes and so in
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: any event i'm getting carried away with no first time
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: i never root for the lion yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah let's root for the lion david attenborough our uh
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: nfl insider joining us here our qb1 david attenborough uh
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: is with us talking about gross and wildebeest uh here
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: on the radio program let me close out with this
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: because um i mean it's been ken walker week um Look,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I get it. John Schneider and Mike McDonald, pretty good
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: about letting everybody talk and criticism probably flows right off
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: of their backs. But John Schneider's pretty good at this
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: general manager thing. Mike McDonald's pretty good at this head
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: coach thing, and I think they work really great together.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: And so I know it's not personal against Ken Walker
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, but personally... how badly do you think John
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Schneider wants to stop Ken Walker so that this narrative
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't look worse on Monday morning?
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: I think pretty bad.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I know you don't like to read into how people
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: are thinking, but I think this is a fair question here. Yeah.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: No, I mean, I mean, you asked me, I'm, I'm responding.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Obviously I'm not in his head and it's, it's my
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: sense and you have your sense and what have you.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: I think, I think that, um, I always just kind
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: of laughed and bristled or whatever when Pete Carroll just said,
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: it's all about competition. And it's like he was trying
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: to trademark.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Like, no, no, no, no.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: You don't get that T-shirt. You don't get that logo.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: You don't get to claim competition. This is absurd. You
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: and your competition talk. Every organization is always competing. Everybody
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: from the top to the down. The damn secretaries are competing. Oh,
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: you misspelled a word there. I'm three up on you
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: this week. Everybody's competing in a damn professional.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: That's what it is.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Competition is the root of everything. It's the soil that
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: breeds the root of everything. So if you're telling me
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: a guy is accomplished as John Snyder, going to the
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Hall of Fame, the two-time Super Bowl thing with the
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: new team that nobody's ever done, you don't think he's
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: a burning competitor?
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: If you told me that he's going to go in,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: they're going to show a picture of him in the suite,
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: that he's not thinking about trying to stop K-9 in
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: any kind of extra special way, I'd say then he's
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: more than human.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: He's more than human.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Check his blood.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: His blood might be green.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: He's not a human being.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Totally agree.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: You think?
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 18:54

  Speaker 5: the guys uh Spending some time together outside the facility
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: is always great for the camaraderie of the team. Oh, really?
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've been taking advantage of that.
• 20:39

• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I've had enough of you guys. I want to see

  Speaker 5: Just going to grab a meal, whatever it is. I mean,
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: at least for the O-line, you know, us big guys,
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: we got to eat. So no matter where it is,
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: we'll go grab a meal somewhere or even just go
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: sit at either the Hatchett's house or John Mills' apartment. We'll,
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: you know, throw on some games and Just chill. I mean,
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: that's our idea of bonding and there's nothing better than that.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: Just watching some ball with the guys.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: That's phenomenal.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Give me the typical meal for Drew as a party.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: So if we have red card on these off days,
• 21:16

  Speaker 2: Ah, in the village.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 21:23

• 21:26
  Speaker 5: so I can literally get it delivered.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's pretty nice.

• 21:33
  Speaker 5: Definitely the burger yeah burger maybe some wings they have
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: some great appetizers there awesome.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Is it just a burger one burger is that what
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: you're eating there.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Burger and some fries and then maybe an appetizer.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: There you go okay love it.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're burning a lot of calories out there playing football.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: You've got to recover. You've got to recover with your
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: meals here. Drew Azapardi is with us here on the
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: radio program. I'm going to ask you the uncomfortable question
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: that you know that you're going to have to answer.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: The entire fan base wants to know who's going to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: be quarterback next week. Do you have any idea who's
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: going to be quarterback next week?
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not really too sure. Two great guys back there,
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: DeMond and EB, obviously. Not too sure who it's going
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: to be yet, but no matter who it is, it's
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: going to protect my tail off for them.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: So excited to get out there and play next week.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: How relieving was it, the game on Friday, to get
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: not just the win, but to feel like, okay, now
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: it's going again. Now it's cooking a little again. How
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: good did that feel to come away from Purdue with
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: not just a win, but to play the way.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: You guys played? Yeah, it was great.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: I feel like we were moving the ball effectively pretty
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: much the whole game. And I know as an O-line,
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: I feel like that's the best game we played, us
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: five as one, rushing for 180 and then obviously throwing
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: for around 300.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Whatever we had.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: But it was a good time to get that win,
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: especially on the road. Road wins are huge for the
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: team and happy we got it in West Lafayette.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: How much does it hurt when, as an offensive line,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: you have to function as a fist? It's not just
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the individual parts. You guys got to function together. So
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: you've had some injuries along the front. How difficult is
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: it to have to go from game to game, maybe
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: one man down? How difficult is it to operate and
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: function like a fist that way when the parts are.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Changing at times?
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it can be difficult sometimes, but at
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: least in our room, we have that next man up mentality.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: So if one guy goes down, we know the next
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: guy coming in is prepared. He prepares like it the
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: whole week, like he's playing. So that gives me confidence.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: That gives us five confidence as a whole. So no
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: matter what five we throw out there, we know that
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: we're all going to be on the same page.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: What are the goals for the rest of the year?
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Have you had, I mean, adjust them with the three
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: game losing streak? What are the remaining goals? What do
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: you guys talk about that you can achieve this year?
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the remaining goal is obviously just run the football
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: and protect the quarterback. I mean, that's always our first two,
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: being effective in that. But also just really enjoying these
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: last couple weeks we have together. For me personally, this
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: is my last year. Five guaranteed games left. Could be six.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: Could be whoever knows how many. But personally, I'm really
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: just trying to take it all in. You know, be
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: in the facility as much as I can.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Be around my teammates. Be around the coaching staff. And
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: really just taking it all in. Yeah, yeah.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: That's a good lesson, by the way. I'm glad you
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: have that perspective because I remember vividly when I graduated
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: from high school, my best friend's mom came up and
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: she was crying and she like hugs me and she
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: was like, I hope you know that this is such
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: a special day and you are such a special group
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and that you'll never have days like this. And I'm
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: sitting there crying.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I know, Mrs.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Marshall.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: You don't have to tell me. I realize I got
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: to just hang out with my best friends and play
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: sports all year long and chase girls. I realize that
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the best days are behind me now. Thanks a lot
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: for the painful reminder. But I'm glad that you kind
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: of realized because if you don't realize, if you think that,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: you know, that you have to cherish those moments and
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: those people that have become special in your life. So
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: no matter what happens, wins or loss wise, I like
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: that perspective that I am going to enjoy these people
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: because who knows how much I'm going to be able
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: to see them uh, in the future.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Good for you. Good for you.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Grown up.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Seriously.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Good perspective on life.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I'm more mature than you act sometimes.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you that. That's not a high bar. Let's
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: be honest.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Uh, well, what do you do for fun? Um, when
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: it's just drew as a party making weekend plans.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: So a couple of years ago, uh, I actually got
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: into golf. So in the off season, me and the
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: guys will go out, we'll get on the course. Uh,
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: Definitely it's one of those things where, I mean, I'm
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: out there, and for three hours, four hours, I'm not
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: thinking about sports. I'm not on my phone much, and
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: it's good just quality time to have. And really in
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: these off days, just being together as an offensive line,
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: as an offense, that's what we always try to do,
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: get together, whether, like I said, for a meal or
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: just to watch.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: A game and chill together. Are you any good at golf?
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: I'm getting there. I'm getting better. I broke 100 for
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: the first time this past summer, so I'm still improving.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: It's a big hurdle.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah. As you guys know too, though, golf's one of
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: those games. It's pretty frustrating. So I don't play it.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: So I swore it off at like age 20. I
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: swore it off and won't play it.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: There's days you got it days. You don't. All right.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: So you're, you're going to be expected because of your size. Uh,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: people don't know what six, seven, three 20. Um, you are, uh,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: you're expected to bomb it off the tee. So do
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: you let people down or do you satisfy their expectations?
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: So the past couple, uh, Months, actually, I haven't been
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: that good with my driver. I was taking a full
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: iron off the tee. I know it's bad, but towards
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: the end of the summer, I picked it up a
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: little bit with my driver, and I'm really trying to
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: hit it straight.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: That's all. I don't care how far it goes.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: That's a good perspective again.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: I just got to hit it straight.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: This guy, it's not about distance.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: It's keeping it in play.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: I don't care.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: Even for how big I am, if I get up
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: there and I hit it 250 and it's straight, I
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: don't care, as long as it's in the fairway.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Growing up in California... Um, and now having experienced the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest, um, you know, do you, did you become
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: at all a Seahawk fan or did you grow up
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: like chargers or.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: What, what did you grow up? Yeah. Uh, I know
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: you guys are.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Going to hate to hear it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: I mean, I grew up 25 minutes away from San
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: Francisco candlestick area. And I mean, I'm, I was born
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: into a Niners family, and I'm a Niners fan.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: All right, so if you got drafted by the Seahawks,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: if you got drafted by the Seahawks, how many of
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: your family members would make the leap with you?
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Hopefully all of them. Hopefully everyone.
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, no matter what team I go to, it's
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: a great opportunity, and I'm blessed to be on an
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: NFL team. So, I mean, no matter what team it is,
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: I'm sure they would make the switch right away. It
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: might be a little hard for my older brother, but...
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: I think he'd make the switch. Uh, that's a good
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: family then.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: If they're all, if they would all make the, uh,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: the jump with you, how much does that dominate your thoughts?
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: The next level, how much time do you spend thinking
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: about the preparation for potentially becoming a professional football player?
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think about it a little bit, but, uh,
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: one of the things that we talk about in the
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: building is just staying present. And that's kind of what
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to do right now. Uh, I obviously know
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: that there's some stuff that's going to happen in the future. Uh,
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: Some different areas I'm going to be in, some stuff
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: I've never really, situations I've been in before, but I've
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: thought about it a little bit, but I'm really just
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: trying to stay present where I'm at right now.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: What else would you do for a living that would
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: excite you? If not professional football, what's another career path
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: that interests you?
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: What's your major? What are you interested in?
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so I actually graduated this past spring with a
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: communications degree.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Oh!
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: From a great school like Washington, with that degree, I mean,
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: I could really do anything. I'm still trying to figure
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: it out. Life after football because football ends at some
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: point for everyone. But I wouldn't really be opposed to
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: broadcasting or something in that type of area.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: I still need to figure it out.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Don't get into sports talk radio.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you that much. If you want to make money.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: I could see you being like a Jason Kelsey in
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: the kind of play-by-play booth, that kind of situation.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: I would love that. Stay around ball as long as
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: I can.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Well, leave us a resume. We'll be in touch. Our
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: people will contact your people, and then we'll see what
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: we can work on. You've got some talent. You've got
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: some skills. You're very comfortable around the microphone.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Bright guy.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I think you can make that happen.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Um, yeah.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: And the way you came through the door, like professional
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: wrestling is something you might want to consider. I honestly
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: thought like it reminded me of the time I met Batista.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Whoa.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: I'll take that comparison.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: He's a legend.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: He's a legend.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: I'll take that any day. All right, man.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks for stopping by. We appreciate it. Best of
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: luck the rest of the way. And, um, and hopefully
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: we can do this again another time.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. Thank you guys for having me.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Drew has a party starting right tackle for the Washington Huskies.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: They'll play next week in Lincoln against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: We are going to close out our Friday show with
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: a raise a pint next on KJR.
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you guys saw the story in
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: The Athletic, but apparently he sent out a company-wide email
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: to anyone that works for the Knicks with a promise
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: of Knicks championship rings. And he used it to test employees'
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: cybersecurity awareness. And anyone who clicked the fake offer for
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: complimentary rings were forced to attend a mandatory cybersecurity class.
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: So not only is he not giving championship rings to
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: his employees... He is using that offer to get people
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: to take one of those classes about cybersecurity.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Terrible human being.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: Awful.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: Let's also throw in, he was one of the guys
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: who voted against the Kraken, or not the Kraken, the Sonics.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: He was very public about not wanting expansion. This guy's
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: just terrible. I'm raising a pint and then dumping it
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: on his head.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: This is two weeks in a row you've gone against
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the spirit of the final segment of the week.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: You raise a pint to someone good, not somebody that
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: we're angry with. That's one last thing.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: That's not raising a pint.
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: The story would have been kind of over by the
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: time we got back to one last thing on Monday,
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: so I had to mention it because it ticked me
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: off so much.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I hate you, James Dolan. Okay.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: But salvage the segment for me, guys.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Please.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: All right, kid.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Let's have something to feel good about to close out
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the week.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I will raise my pint of water to Hugh Millen.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: You won't even fake drink. You're so opposed to drinking.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: You won't even like pretend.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Because they know I'm not.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: But I'll give it to Hugh Millen. You guys know
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: I play flag football on the weekend. So last week
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: I hit him up and I was like, hey, Hugh.
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: It's like a 12-second video, but can you break down
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: my route running? I don't care if you flame me
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: or you say it's good. Just give me your thoughts
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: on it. And that same day, because I know he's busy.
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: He's doing like 100 shows. He is watching film. That
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: same day, he sent me a nice lengthy message giving
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: me green checks on this and that, giving me some
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: breakdown on what I can do better. And then at
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: the end, he was like, if I need a slot receiver,
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: you can be my guy anytime.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: And I was like, you know what?
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. I ain't terrible.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Not bad. I'm pretty good. Does he give you audio
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: or video response?
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: It's all written. It's all written.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Read us some of it here.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: All right, real quick.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Might have to raise a pint to Kidd and his
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: route running ability.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: So he says, I love it. Burst off the line
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: of scrimmage.
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: Nod to the safety with your shoulders. This was exactly
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: like Jason's touchdown against the Cardinals.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Love it.
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: When you nod, do not shorten your stride length. This
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: should be done at full speed.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Check.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: High point ball.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Check.
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: If there is any minor, minor critique, your angle coming
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: out of your nod might have been a little bit flat.
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: You don't want to converge on that side of the
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: corner of that defender. The QB did a good job
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: of backshouldering you, but you made an outstanding response to
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: the ball placement.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: You can be my slot receiver anytime.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Love that.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: So I was like, you know what? Thank you, Hugh.
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: I was expecting it like a week later because I
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: said I knew he was busy, but I just wanted
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: to check it out.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: And that was cool. So I appreciate you, Hugh, for
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: having fun with me there. By the way, of.
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: Course he has to throw in a quarterback praise in
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: a breaking down of a receiver because that's just who
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: Hugh Millen is. Never changed, by the way, but just
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: pointing that out.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I love that he just took it that seriously and
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: nitpicked you and also praised you, compared you.
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: That's awesome.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Gave you a JSN comp.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: That was cool. Shout out to me. You're the JSN
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: of your flag football league.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Easily.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: That's all I heard. Yeah.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: All right. Raise a pint.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Raise the pint. Raise a pint.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Like he doesn't deserve a pint every week. Give him
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: a whole liter, right?
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: That's right. Good point.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Metrics is a pint larger than a liter i don't
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: even know i don't either oh you know what moving
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: along chuck your turn all right i am going to
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: raise a pint uh to the milwaukee brewers fan look
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: we got two teams in the world series this year
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: and one fan base no matter how much it hurts
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: a fan base here in seattle that has never won
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: a world series i would think They would like to
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: be able to appreciate that one fan base is going
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: to win its first ever championship. There's no avoiding that.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: There's no denying that. And I like the Tampa Bay team,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: but that is not a good baseball city. That is
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: not a good baseball fan base. The Milwaukee Brewers have
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: a great one, and they've been around longer than the
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays as well. So I'm rooting for the
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers. for those reasons. So I want to raise
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: a pint, raise a pint to the Brewers fan. I
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: hope that you get to celebrate seven games from now,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: if not sooner, your first ever World Championship.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Go Brewers.
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm kind of with you there. The list will
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: go from, for the teams that have not won a
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: World Series, it will go from five to four after
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: this year. Obviously, the Mariners are still the only team
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: to have not been to the World Series, but the
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: teams to have never won it, the Rockies, Brewers, Padres, Mariners,
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: and Rays, One of those two teams will cross their
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: name off that list.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. That's right. So let's go, Brewers. I mean,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: if the Rays won it, I wouldn't be upset by it,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: but I think it's just a nice story. It's going
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: to be a better energy. It's going to be a
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: better environment. And the fans that are rooting for the Brewers,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: their asses won't be scratched from climbing onto the bandwagon.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Better ownership, too, by the way.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: They've been on this for years now, where like 65%
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: of the people that are in Tampa are just there
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: for the party.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Better logo, better jerseys.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Probably never even heard of Yandy Diaz in Tampa. 65%
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: of the.
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: Junior Caminero? Who's he junior for? Who's his famous dad?
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I'm also going to close out with this as well.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know how it happened, kid. Not even making
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: this up. But I started the show by telling you
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: that since Anders started working here, I've had two thumb injuries.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I have a third.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I popped like a blood vessel or something during the
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: course of the show today, right there in the crook
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: of my thumb. I now have had three thumb injuries
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: for some reason, some weird reason, since Anders started working
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: with me.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Dang, that is not good. Never had a.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Paper cut Monday, right?
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Since my junior year in high school, since.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: I've had a thumb injury.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: When did you have that nasty paper cut? Was that Monday?
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: That was... Was that Wednesday?
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Wednesday. It was earlier in the week.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, nonetheless. My goodness, Chuck. Slow down. I think it
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: might be infected. There must be something in my.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: It must be a magnet or something for his thumbs specifically.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: You're not injuring them. That's the weird thing. You're having
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. Just for whatever reason, my
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: thumbs keep getting injured since Anders came to the morning show.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Be careful exiting. I don't want you to get a
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: thumb in there. Yeah.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to hijack on the, or excuse me. Oh, gosh.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: What do they call that?
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: When you thumb a ride. Hitchhike.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Hitchhike. I said hijack.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to hitchhike on the way home. Somebody
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: will stop and say, are your thumbs okay? Yeah. Couldn't notice.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us. We appreciate it. Have a
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: great weekend. We will talk to you on Monday morning.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, it's Greg and Jess on KJR.
