Chuck & Buck 4-15 Hour 4: Spencer Hawes in-studio, Al Kinisky and one last thing! · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is great. This is great. Getting ready to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: preview the NBA Playoffs like only we do on Chuck
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and Buck with a draft. We're gonna green jacket draft today.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: We're gonna draft teams of players that we think are
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: gonna score the most points, not average per game, most
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: points total in the entire postseason. The playoffs will officially
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the sixteen team tournament get started on Saturday. We treat
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: this as our NBA playoff preview and normally, well, he
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: got Bucky sitting over there, and even though he won
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: last year's NBA playoff green jacket, and he won this
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: year's NBA regular season wins, even though he admits he
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: doesn't follow the NBA. Now we've got an expert here,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a guy that played in the NBA. He's got a
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Spurs sweatshirt on and watch Spencer Awes finish last I
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: would not put money on that. I hope not good
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to see you, man, because I want to end you're
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: filling shoes that really don't know much about the NBA.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: And yet he keeps winning our NBA contest.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: That we have.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: It's like fantasy football or March Madness, I think sometimes
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and it's these rare instances where the dumb money prevails,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: and I think it can be an advantage just coming
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: in kind of throwing darts.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: At the port. Well, great to see you, Thanks for
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: coming in and doing.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: This, Thanks for having me. It's the most exciting time
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: of the year. Tank Season's over and you can get
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: back to business.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Right aren't you ready to just watch game after game
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: where everybody's.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Throwing it on the line. It's been bad in the past.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it was about this year. Maybe
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: the fact that, well, certainly the fact that it's such
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: a loaded draft that that we're getting into and then
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: looking forward next year it's looking like it's going to
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: be one of the lower end drafts in a while,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: so that obviously has a lot to do with it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: But it seemed like, you know, a third of the
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: teams gave up basically at the trade deadline by the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: All Star break in God, it was insufferable down the stretch.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I haven't spoken with you since the Sonics news. What's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: your Sonics temperature right now? It's it's percolating.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I've said I wasn't going to get excited until until
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: it's officially official, But there's a lot.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Of reasons to be excited right now. Can we get
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: your guy Mitch to come up here and coach the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: team when we get it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I think Mitch is in a pretty good position down
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: there in San Antonio. I'd stick with I'd stick with
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: the horse that's dragging his wagon.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think your little poker face over here,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Chris Ashley, he's got a Spurs of sweatshirt on, so
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: guess who are he's leaning?
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: No way to give it all away. I couldn't blame him.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It's an easy team to root for. It is an
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: easy team to root for, isn't it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: A lot of fun.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And I think they're just I mean, they're so young,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: they're just scratching the surface. I think Castle's looking like
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: he's going to be an alluse me, all NBA type player.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Dylan Harper shown enough flashes where he looks like a
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: future All Star. Daran's still in his prime, Kelvin Johnson
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: still holding it down. You got the rookie Carter Bryant
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: that that showed a lot as the season went on
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: and really kind of established a role for himself. So
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be easy to be a Spurs fan.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: For a while. You better beat them this year. I'll
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: just say that you better beat them this year. All right, Well,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: this is a this is going to be fun. I mean,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: we've had experts on before that have analyzed our picks,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: but not any on that has analyzed our picks while drafting.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: But with Bucky out, Spencer's going to fill that fourth seat.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: And so we're gonna draft with Spencer admitting we're going
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: up against a ringer and willingly taking head on. Let's
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: do this accepted challenge. Let's do it. All right, Ashley,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: what's our draft order?
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: I'll call this luck.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, Spencer.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Gets the first one.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, look at that.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Well, well, this would be the year that I probably
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: don't want the second pick because I have a feeling
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: I were nowhere Spencer is going to go and that's
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: gonna put me in a tough spot. But I have
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: the second pick by Chuck and kid.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: All right, kids laugh, boo, yeah, right right.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Into the fourth spot. I've been there.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Well again, we're going for most points. So it's that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: we're picking a roster of four players, and it's a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: combination of us predicting teams that are going to go
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: far and who's going to score those points for them.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: So that's the way that it works. Spencer's got the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: first pick overall. Spencer is going to score the most
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: points in the NBA Playoffs this year. The Alien victor woman, Yama,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you aren't kidding them. So you think the Spurs are
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: going all the way this year?
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I think I think they're going. I think they are
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: more than capable of winning it. Uh and my heart
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: in my head tell me that based on what I
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: saw in the regular season their position to beat the Thunder.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: But something interesting happened that last game of the year
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: that was kind of looked like a throwaway where uh
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Denver in the Lake flip seeds, which means that the Spurs,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: after they take care of business and down in Portland
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: or in that series, are gonna have to play the
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Nuggets in the second round, which I think no one
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: was happier when that happened than the Oklahoma City Thunder
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: because that basically allows them to glide into the conference finals,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: where whoever comes out of that Spurs Nuggets is coming out.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Of the battle. Yeah.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that being said, I'm still taking the Spurs. He's taken.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: I am not mad at that. Was my number one pig,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: but I knew if I wasn't number one.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: I'm lying too.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Damn good is that guy?
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: It's so I add six inches on Spencer and then
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: give them a handle everything else.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Bounce and eight foot arms? Alien, Did you say? Yeah?
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: All right, Ashley, you have the second overall selection. Where
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: are you going to go with Wimby off the board?
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm not gonna do, right I'm around
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: with a thunder right here, won't.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Ever do it?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Dang it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: I will take Jason Tatum.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum interesting pick. Is he ready to take over
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: his accustomed role of being the number one guy when
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown Spencer has done it all year long.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: That's an interesting one because there's it's a pecking order
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: that's obviously. Jalen Brown came in first and was always
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: kind of a robin, you know, second superstar, and now
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Tatum coming back, which I don't think anybody expected, maybe
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: other than the Celtics and Tatum being able to come
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: back by the end of the regular season. So I
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: don't know how that's going to play out. I don't
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: hate the pick, but I probably would have gone Jayleen
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Brown before that.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: But that was.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: It was a toss up for me, but I decided
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: he's I mean, he's.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: He's a guy that's done it for the last.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: And I do think I do think the Celtics are
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: getting to the NBA Finals, So I lean the Celtics
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: myself in the in the East. All right, well, maybe
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you guys aren't doing just out of principle, but I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: would take this. Yeah, I mean, it was a toss
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: up for me. So I don't blame you.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: I've never taken him, and you know that I don't
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: take anyone from that team.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go SGA and I and I'll just ask
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the question Spencer. I mean, there's this thought of when
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you make it, Wemby's got to get deep into the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: playoffs and then get knocked out. There's this feeling that
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: even Jordan, you had to get to a certain point,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you had to learn how to lose, what it took
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to get over the hump. Spurs haven't done that before.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: But also the Spurs seem to have an advantage matchup
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: wise with Okac. They kind of ran them off the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: court a few times this year. So what prevails what
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: they got four out of five. I think with a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: playing victory as well, and you do you do until
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you don't. I think that I'm not a huge fan
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: of that kind of misnomer that you know, you gotta
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: take your lumps, you gotta lose. It's like if you're
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: ready and maybe ignorance is blissed and you just kind
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of run the table on through it. So yeah, I
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: think the experience, however it shakes out for the Spurs,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: is going to be invaluable for them. But they might
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: just be good enough that they don't. They can skip
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that portion of it.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: If you are.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Maybe they are. Yeah, we shall see. But I am
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: gonna take s g a here. Let all of your
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: hate mail come to me right now. All right, kid,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you got back to back selections here. It's our NBA
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Playoff preview. We're drafting players for points.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: What do you got?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I'll take back to back.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: I'll take Jay Brown and then also take Jalen Brunson.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: So oh, you're just gonna have a whole team of
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Jalen's that we have. Okay, I see what you did there.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, save Durhan for you as well, if.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: You like, you know, uh, he's if you want to
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: give me rebounds. I will gladly take him with my
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: third second choice.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, And Jalen Rose came, I'll just give you an
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: added Jalen Rose, were gonna write it in here. You
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: get all of Jalens in the playoffs this year. Uh so,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: how far do you think the Knicks are going?
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Then?
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: I think the Knicks will beat the Hawks, okay, and
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: then they will place the Celtics. So I'll take whoever.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I think they're probably okay, I see what you're doing. Yeah,
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: I just yeah, I guess I would take Boston. I
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: think they're a better team than they were last season,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: and I think their defense is hitting a stride where
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: last year I think the Knicks were just a hair
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: better and you saw it. So I think the Boston
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: stotics will take that rein and be like, sorry, guys,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: what happened last year is not gonna happen this year.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: And I expect Jalen Brown to be the catalyst because
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know if Tatum's ready, But I also think
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: right now he's the hot hand. And why would you say, hey,
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: you know what, We're not going to give you the ball,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Jalen Tatum, You're back to where you used to be
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: go ahead. I think they're just playing it by how
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: they see things. I think Jaen's going to get it done.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Would Hawks have a chance against the Knicks, They got
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: a chance.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: They're fun to watch.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: I think that the moves they made at the deadline
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: going out, maybe not right at the deadline, but getting CJ.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: McCollum and having a go to kind of playoff mudball
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: type player, I think was a was a big acquisition.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I Quinn Snyder I respect as much as any coach.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I think he's gonna throw the kitchen sink out him
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: out of the house. Yep, Mercy Island first. McDonald's all
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: American from the state of Washington.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Far fact.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think they will, but they definitely are more
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: than capable. All Right, all right, I got the next pick.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I don't think they're going to win,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: dang it, I know what you're going to do. I
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna make it to the NBA Finals,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: but I think they're going to play in three series.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: And he is undoubtedly one of the best scorers.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: In the league. Right now.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I'm taking Kay Gunning Detroit Pistons. I like that I
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: like that pick. What do you think, Pistons? I mean,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: it's kind of the same thing with san Antonio. Are
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: they ready to take that step? They had a phenomenal
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: year this year, but are they ready to go all
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the way to the NBA Finals?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Yet?
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Different game the playoffs it is, and but Caide's built
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: for it. I think he's. Uh, He's shown over the
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: you know, not just the year, but not just this year,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: but over the course of his career, you know, through
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: twenty and sixty seasons to where they are now. He's
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: he's ready to you know, he's made that step and
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I think this is the next progression for him is
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: being able to do in the playoffs and have a
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: lead to winning series.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: All right, Ashley, Round number two, third pick, your second
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: pick at the draft? Who you adding to Jason Tatum?
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: I can't just leave him sitting there. I'll take the joker.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, taking the joker. Now, I'll tell you this. This
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: is what Bucky did last year. He did not think
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: about anything other than I'm just going to take the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: four best players that are on the board. So he
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: had like Anthony Edwards and Djokich and Doncic. Maybe he
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: didn't have Doncic, No, I think I did, but he
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: had like four. He just took the best players that
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: were available and said, well, let's see how the results
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: end up. We didn't take them because we didn't think
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: those teams were going to advance very far in the playoffs,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and he ended up winning last year's NBA playoffs. So
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: what do you think, Jokic Nuggets? How dangerous are they?
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Spencer?
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: I mean they I think they could win it just
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: as easily as anybody. Is that right they got. I
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: think there's three team in the West to me that
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: all have a shot. I think the fall off after
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: after the Nuggets is pretty significant, but I think any
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: any of those three at the top are more than capable.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: And that was who I wanted to pick.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: That's who you wanted. So I took cunning In from you.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: She took Joker from you. You've got back to back
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: picks here. Who are you going to take? Let's see.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: So I'm trying to be a little more strategic and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: looking at matchups and not stacking guys that are gonna
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: play each other in the second round. So I'm gonna
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: go Spider, Donovan Mitchell gonna go with Donovan Mitchell.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, and it's a tough one. I might as well
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: just stay on the Spurs train. I'm going with the Fox,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: all right, Aaron Fox, you know you can do that.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: You're like, if you're believe in the Spurs, then double
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: down on it. For goodness sake.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: There's no so Joker obviously, that's that's an easy one.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: But for me, if I'm looking at they're gonna meet
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: each other in the second round, that doesn't.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Give me the that doesn't give me the runway I need.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: So I'm trying to I think you're still both you
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: two avoiding thunder at all costs.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: I am.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I that he was probably my next choice, but I
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: just don't know that he's he's one hundred percent right.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, here we go, Ashley, You've got the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: next selection. Tatum Joker, where are you going in round three?
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, ah, I'm gonna go with James Harden.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, James Harden. All right. So let's talk about the
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Cavaliers then, Since we've taken two Cavaliers with our ten
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: picks thus far, I mean, I think they got a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: little tricky match up here against Scottie Barnes and the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Raptors here in round number one, and then they'd have
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to face Detroit. Do I have to worry about Cleveland
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: here getting through a couple rounds.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: They're just such an enigma to me. It's like every
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: time I'm ready to buy in, they just fizzle out,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: and it's like they go out quietly. It's never some
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: disastrous situation. But I think I didn't think Toronto would
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: be any good this year. I saw him play the
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: second year of the season, second game of the season
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: down in San Antonio, and I thought they'd be a
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: lottery team. So credit to them. I was wrong on that,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: and they they got a funky lineup. They can throw
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: a lot of things at them. And it's all about
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: matchups in the player. It's about matchups. And it gets
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: rocking up there in the North come playoff time, and
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: especially I don't know how the Leafs are doing this year,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: but they always seem to underwhelm. So you know, Raptors
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: made a basketball country.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: M all right. So the second Cavalier has come off
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the board, James Harden, good thing. We're not doing points allowed.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: We're not going off all right.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I believe in the Spurs quite a bit myself.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: It's now time for me to take my first Spur.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Give me. I love this guy, Stephen Castle. I love
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the way that he plays, So I'm gonna take Castle
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: here in round three. Well, look that I take your guy.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: No he didn't. Oh I didn't take her.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: No, my guy is still available and get him.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: What do you like?
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Do you like Castle?
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know about for points in the playoffs? Oh oh,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I like this little criticism.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: But no, I mean yeah, he could average twenty two
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: and it surprised me. But I think I think for
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: the next decade plus, he's going to be closer to
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: the top end of the draft board than not.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right kid, you got back to
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: back selections. You round out your team. What two other
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Jalens do you want?
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll stay with the Jays, can you imagine? Okay,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: I will take Jamal Murray. Mister microwave great pick, so
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: I expect them to handle business against great in the
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: playoffs too. Yeah he is, and I love the matchup
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: with the Spurs. I mean, I'm sure you saw that finale,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: well not a finale, but two weeks ago.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Was it that might have been the best game I seen.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I thought it was.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was supposed to go running and I said, well,
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: this game is on not gonna happen. But yeah, it
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: was just a really good game. And I think it's
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: an epic preview for what's to come. I think it'll
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: go seven, and I think could be the tipping factor.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: No discredit.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: So are you're telling me right now you're like the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Nuggets over the Spurs.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: It's really tough for me not to take the Nuggets
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: because they have all the recipe to do it. But
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: then again, the Alien if you they healthy, probably not,
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: I'll be honest. Always that seems to be there kind
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: of buggaboo the last few years. And yeah, Aaron Gordon's
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: hamstring the biggest, Hayden Watson's sam string. Yeah, don't touch Luca.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Let's see team here.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: This is all right.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: If you had to put your house on the line
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: for this game, for this series Lakers and Rockets, who
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: are you picking, Spencer?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: And why?
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Just briefly, well sorry to my buddy JJ, but I
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: just I don't think that they're healthy enough. I don't
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: think I don't think you can bet on uh the
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: guy coming off a hamstring and Luca and yeah.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I'm coming back game three guys.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Reeves Reeves saying it seems like no news bad news
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: on that. The fact that we're not getting updates every
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: day probably speaks the point that he's a little further
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: out than that maybe some expect. But yeah, I think
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: it's I think it's just a health health situation, which
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: is a shame because the Lakers before those guys got
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: hurt were playing as well as anybody. Well, they're built
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: for the playoffs. I think the way Luca can orchestrate
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: on offense. Obviously he's dragged a team to the finals
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: that didn't have much business being there. But it's too
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: bad because I was really watching, you know, Lebron had
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: kind of accepted being the off ball, kind of third
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: option in the pecking order, and I was looking forward
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: to seeing that, and looks like I'll never get to
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: see it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: So yeah, that made it easy for me. I was
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: thinking that, but hearing Spencer brig it all down, I
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: am on it. Give me Kevin Durant, gonna go with KD,
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: not Jalen Williams. You know, I had a chance, he
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: had a chance to go all Jalen's here. I did,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: but you know.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: No one's ever done it in the history of Green
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Jacket draft.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: You know, I think his hamstring, I know it's you know,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: he's healthy, but I see that long sleeve.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh boy, there's still there's another Jalen on
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the board too, So that is true. Yeah, I would
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: love for John Schneider to reach over to Mike McDowell said,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I'm so good at this, I'm just gonna only draft
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Jalen's this year. All right, I've got my last pick.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I want a Celtic out of this because I think
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: they're gonna go deep. So I'm just gonna mow my
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: lawn left and right, aren't you If I can? That'd
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: be nice because I know you're not going to take
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: a thunder, which would be my other to do up
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: double down on thunders. But maybe I will double down
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: on thunders.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: Uh I might? Uh?
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: All right, I go Peyton Pritchard, interesting bench player, seventeen
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: points per game during the season. I think Derek White
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: them off.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you did. You take Derek White and you
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: you predict.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: No.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: This is what I always do, and it always fails.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: This is why always hear you took him and he
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: actually went crazy and you had a really good run.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: But I think you lost a star somewhere in there
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: and I got hurt. Yeah, John Moran wasn't it?
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Was it?
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's what happen.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: You had Derek White played well and then John morandis Yeah, oopsie,
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: I just think you know seven if he's well, maybe
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: he doesn't scores frequently.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Now the Tatum's back. I don't know, but seventeen points
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: per game if they played twenty two games, that's a
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: lot of points. All right, Ashley, you're up next.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: All right, Well, I am going to stick with my
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: plan of no thunder. I did look at it and
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: then I thought, oh my god, who am I? I
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: am going to take another Jalen though, I'm going to
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: take Jalen Duran.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Okay of the Pistons. Yeah, all right, Jalen Duran big man.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: No for his defense, but he averaged nineteen and a
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: half points a game.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Mission That's what I'm saying.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: We'll see what happens when the playoffs get going.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: He's going to average forty five.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Well they were winning the championship.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Spencer's crapped on my last two picks, so feel free
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to crap crap on all right, Spencer, you got the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: last pick. Here, a lot of thunder there on the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: board for you. There are a lot of thunder.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: There are There are a lot of thunder. I got,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: sir per the big Cat kind of Now I'm going,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: I'm going Jay will I'm gonna take it.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: That's probably what I should have taken. Take a thunder player.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: So no, Anthony Edwards. I don't think they're gonna be
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: around very long. I'm with you on that, all right.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: So Jalen Williams the last selection for Spencer, and he's
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: actually better in the playoffs usually than he is.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Now, Chuck's like, damn it probably shouldn't. I should have
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: taken it. I definitely should have taken it. I still
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: I can't believe he's still on the board. And Cat
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: I think, well, I guess that depends if you have
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: faith in the Knicks, but I don't.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean Cat had three hundred
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and eighty six total points last year. But it's I
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: always do this, I play this game of Yeah, but
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: if he plays twenty games and it was just fifteen
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: plus he only plays ten and even in twenty. Actually
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the math comes out and then I screwed myself. So
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: welcome to my world, Spencer, the overthinking world of Chuck Fowelly.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: All right, well that's bottom line this thing. Then who's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals this year? And who's winning the championship? Spurs, Celtics, Spurs?
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: God damn well, hey, Jalen, just average thirty. I know
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: it's tough, but you know I believe in you. How
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: big of the ratings be on that finals?
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Oh my god? How could you not want to watch
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Victor wembin Yama take on the Celtics. It will be
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: better than last year? Yeah, exactly. All right, how do
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: you feel about your team?
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: I like my team for you know, inaugural points playoff draft.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: For me, I'm I'm pretty happy with it. I'm obviously
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: putting a lot of a lot of faith in the
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: boys down in San Antonio. But you got to ride somebody,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Spencer's team is Wimby Donovan, Mitchell, darn Fox and Jalen
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: williams Ashley as Jason Tatum, Niko, James Harden and Jalen Duran.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Chuck's going with SGA Cade Cunningham, Stephen Castle and Peyton Pritchard.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: The last two picks were Booed and Kid, Jalen Brown,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson, Jalen Murray and Jalen Durant JB's baby. Well,
• 22:08

• 23:31
  Speaker 1: at some place where he can just you know, eat
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: barbecue and think about all the skulls he used to
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: crack for months on end. Sounds glorious, So yeah, it
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: really does. I kind of want to go joining us
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: now color analyst for your Seattle crack and who will
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: not make the playoffs this year? Al Koniski is with this, Hil,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Chuck it? You just described my off season. That's exactly
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: what I plan to do. Go to the northern reaches
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: of Canada in a cabin in the woods and hunt
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: and kill my own meat, smoke it, store it, freeze
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: for the winner.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Look at you you're gonna have. You're gonna have mammoth burgers,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: aren't you.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, mammoth burgers.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: You better not make them sliders. I'll tell you that
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna go you're gonna go to the length
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: of tracking down a wooly mammoth, then you better not
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: make sliders out of it.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: No, these will be monster burgers.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Uh well, we laugh. Otherwise we'll cry because we're not
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: gonna have postseason hockey here in Seattle again this year.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: If you could pinpoint where it went wrong, what is
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: what is the one thing that just didn't come together?
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Otherwise we'd be getting ready for the Stanley Cup playoffs
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this one's a pretty easy one. Shock. Since the
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: since the post Olympic break, the goals against average has
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: jumped for the Cracking by almost a goal point eight
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: eight point eight seven goals per game. You might say, well,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: pointing seven goals, that's not even a full goal. But
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: we've looked at all of the games this year and
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: all of the wins, and most of them are games
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: where the Crack and are able to keep the goals
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: against to three or less. And that and up until
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: that Olympic break, they were averaging two point eight eight
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: goals against per game. After the break, it's three point
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: seventy five goals per game and again, it doesn't sound
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: like a lot, but that additional goal, because the Cracking
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: just don't have that top end scoring that can that
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: can you know, score their way out of the game
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: is the reason why they've been on the wrong side
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: of all of these games post Olympic break. Now, that
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: still doesn't give you necessarily a why answer, but that's
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: a piece of data. Is to admit why why are
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: they giving up one one goal more a game. You
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: can only look at the defensive side of the pock
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: and say, you know, why, why is the other team
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: getting more high danger chances? Why are they why I
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: had more goals going as a goal tom problem is
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: a defensive structure problem, and maybe all of the above.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: The power plays ben dismal as of late, so power
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: play goals are going in more often as well. So
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: all these things point to that additional you know, point
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: eighty seven goals per game, and that's a big reason
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: for it.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Al Kinisky is with US color Analyst for your Seattle
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Crack and I asked Everett this yesterday. I but I
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: have to get your opinion on it as well. What
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: was your reaction to toddle i Wiki's press conference last week?
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: As you know, just a crack and employee, but also
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: a crack and fan. What did you think of the
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: boss man coming out the way that he did Friday?
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was sobering. I thought it was
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: sobering in that you know, Todd was was speaking from
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the heart of the organization. You know, this, this intentional
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: move to get better, I think will be well received.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: You know, it wasn't a message of hey, just wasn't
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: our year this year. It was something needs to be fixed.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Some something's not working here. We don't know what it is.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: We're going to get help from an outside firm. We're
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: going to make some changes. We're going to probably bring
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: in some more players. We're going to do some things
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: between now and September that are going to turn the
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: turn the ship around, so to speak. And and and
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I like that about his leadership style. I like that
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: about his his uh, you know intention in those words.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: But I thought it was a real sobering message coming
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: from Todd lay wiki.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: The off season. Uh, do you expect one or two
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: major things? Do you expect him a complete overhaul of roster.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I know that you expect Lane Lane Lambert to be back.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think that that move's going to be made.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: So what does the offseason look like? What can we expect?
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the Krack can have some UFAs that
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: they have to uh to manage this summer. James schwartz
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Elie Toldenen Bobby McMahon, Uh, James Alexiak those are the
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: four and listen, you know, the decisions have to be
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: made between the players, their agents and management. What are
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: they looking for in their next contract? You know, what
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: is the team looking for out of them? And in
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: the case of a guy like Bobby McMahon, well he's
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: looking for a Briggs truck to back up to his
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: front door because he's making one point three million right now.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: And so big question is does he want to stay
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: in Seattle? What would it take for him to stay
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: in Seattle? And is Seattle prepared to pay him what
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: that is? That's going to be one of the bigger conversations.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: I think that if Seattle is able to hold on
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: to him and come to terms on a number that
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: works for both sides, that's a huge win for Seattle.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Bobby McMahon has proven that he's a top three forward.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: He's a guy that could push easily forty goals next season.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: He's a guy that could push sixty seventy points or
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: more next season. So this is maybe this isn't the
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Connor McDavid or the Nathan McKinnon that every team wants,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: but it's that next run down of a top forward
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: that could potentially score your way out of the game.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I mentioned this earlier in the week. I mean, if
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: not for all the losses, we would have thought that
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: was the best trade ever. The way that Bobby McMahon
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: put it seemed at the time that you needed a
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: goal scorer, and it seemed that he was getting a
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: goal every night even though you weren't winning games. I mean,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I don't like the concept of going all in on
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: anything in sports. I think you always have to have
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: to some degree sort of a measured approach with all
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: things as a general manager. But when it comes to him,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: is this one of your would you put this in
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: the category of whatever it takes, Like, you know, let's
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: let's get him. Let's make sure that we have the
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: highest bid on Bobby McMahon this offseason.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Well, when I look at the other contracts, you Jordan
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Eberlieve at five and a half, Jared mccannon at five,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: together Stevens's at six point two. It tells me that
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: a guy like Bobby McMahon is probably somewhere in that arena.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: You're not going to get him to three million bucks,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: you know, but if he wants seven, that could be
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: that could be challenging. So really it just depends on
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: what they are looking for. I've only spoken to Bobby
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: a few times, not necessarily about how things are going
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: so far. But you hope that he's really enjoying his
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: time in Seattle, playing for a coach who he's familiar with,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: being in a cool city like Seattle, Like I hope
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: he's getting a lot of benefit out of this short,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: small sample size that he has of being here where
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: he goes. Yeah, I couldn't see myself here for an
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: extame period of time, and I do like playing under
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: under Lane Lamberts. So if that's the case and they
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: can agree to a number, I think that could be
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: one of the biggest wins of the offseason.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: All Right, Well, it didn't go the way we wanted
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: this year, but we will have another conversation before we
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: let you head up north to do all your eating.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: And so certainly appreciate you joining us here again this week,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: and we will talk to you next week to put
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: a rap on all of this thing.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: What do you say? I look forward to a jug
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: all right?
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: There, he is Alkonsky color analyst for your Seattle Crack
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and they are in action tonight against the Las Vegas
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Golden Knights. We didn't spend much time on that game
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: for obvious reasons, but obviously a huge monster off season
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: for this organization, and based off of Todd light Wiki's comments,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: and that was on Thursday, not on Friday, we can
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: expect to see a little bit of a shakeup to
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of a shakeup. There will be some shakeup involved,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: and so we anticipate what that's gonna look like. Here
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: and Talk Radio, all right, coming up next on our
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: radio show, we'll close out this Wednesday with one last thing.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. All right, it's
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: the final segment here, Chuck them back in the morning,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three k JR at FIM
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Ashley and Chuck with you, and we always do one
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: last thing to close out the show. Before I get
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: to Ashley's one last thing, a little bit of breaking
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: news that we did not cover because I think Spencer
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: was here and he was causing hysteria.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: Well he is a troublemaker.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Turns out he's tall.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like really tall, multiple feet, like multiple feet between
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: six and eight.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, somewhere in that range. Yeah. But shortstop Kevin McGonagall
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: of the Detroit Tigers agreed on an eight year, one
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollar contract that might not mean
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: anything to you, that they might not resonate with you.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: He's the Tigers, a new top player, young player prospect
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: that they called up coming out of spring training. He's
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: just another in this line, now, this Colt Emerson line.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Then it was Connor Griffin, and now it's Kevin McGonagall.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: He's the Tigers version of Emerson. He's the Tigers version
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: of Connor Griffin. And so they locked him up and
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: guess what he's making even more than what Connor Griffin
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: was making.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: But I'm shocked by that.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, So that's what I said at the time. I
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: really love this Emerson deal, and I love that they're
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: kind of the first and obviously this is something a
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: lot of Major League Baseball teams, especially the mid to
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: small market sized teams are doing right now, and there
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: are a lot more of these that are coming here
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks. So this is obviously
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: that Emerson deal that everybody panicked about because he'd not
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: proven anything. This is something industry wide that everybody was
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: kicking around, and so we should probably read into that.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: So it was like it was a good idea to
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: sign him when we signed him.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I think it was a good idea, and it was
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: also good timing to get ahead of everybody else before
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: they signed their guys. Absolutely, so we got our guy
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: locked up to a ninety five million dollars deal. The
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Tigers are now in it for a hundred and fifty
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: to McGonagall. Now there's a ninth year for cold which
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: gets him up to one thirty.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: By five, I think, isn't it might.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Be it's still nine years one thirty versus eight years
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: one fifty, which is where the brick in the road
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: has now reached because McGonagall, even though phenomenal prospect, is
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: still not considered bigger prospect than Griffin. All right, let's
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: get to the one last thing, do you.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: I wanted to address a couple of things on the
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: text line today that I thought it was kind of fun. No, no, no, fun,
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: fun fun. One thing we do have to say, because
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: I think a lot of people we have to remember
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: aren't listening all the time. Bucky is okay. He is
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: out dealing with some medical stuff. That just because there
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: are so many people that are like, where's Bucky still,
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: and I kind of forget that they don't listen all
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: the time. And so, yes, he is doing all right,
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: he's dealing with some medical stuff. We hoped to see
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: him soon.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, there you go.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: This is the thing I thought was funny though. Is
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: that room you're sitting in really as small as it
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: looks on YouTube?
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Yours?
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: No, you're I think, well, actually maybe it is mine.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's yours.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: Maybe, oh, I guess maybe they were talking about mine.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: But I looked at the YouTube screen and the rooms
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: do look really tiny. Oh, and especially with Spencer, because
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: they wrote it when Spencer was here. Well maybe it
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: was before that. But the microphone that Spencer's at is
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: real close. Kid looks further away. But I realized, I
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: think they do think these rooms look small. But now
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: I'm looking at mine, and yeah it is. I realized
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: I was muted. So people couldn't see. It does look
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: really small because it looks like the door or the
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: corner like of the door is just where my hand is,
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: so it looks like it's like that, like I'm touching
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: the door right now and I'm not. And then it
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: looks like the wall, like I'm touching the wall there
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: and my arms aren't fully extended. That's how small my
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: room looks on YouTube. And I just thought, these are
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: things we don't ever think about. No, my room is
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: not big, but it's not that small.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: No, Yeah, I mean these are these are a little
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: bigger than normal.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: They've pretty industry standard.
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, these are funny things I've never Yeah, you don't.
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: We don't think about. We just come in here every day.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: I mean our last dutio, you could put like an
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: airplane in there, you land an airplane in there. Those
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: are like the biggest. But that was like I've ever had,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: but that was sort of unnecessary space and yeah, this
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: makes me right, Yeah, this is good.
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it just I was like, oh, I guess
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: when you look at it on that screen, everything does
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: seem very condensed.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: When I worked at sports Fan Radio Network in Las Vegas,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: that's how my career started. Our studio was pretty much
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: your room, oh okay, and the producer was across. So
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: put this table in that room, and then put the
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: equipment on this table. So I would sit on this side,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: my co host would sit I usually had a co
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: host would sit on this side of me, and then
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the producer would be sitting in that where that chair
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: is so light, on the other side of the table
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: inside a room of your size. And we had this
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: one guy by the name of Ralph Williams, and he
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: would literally fall asleep every single show that we did
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: with his feet up on the table.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't a great screening process for employment. And
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: yet not even making this up. Our best producer, oh
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: when he was awake. He actually wasn't a producer. He
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: was the board up. But nonetheless, I mean he so
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: he didn't do a lot of the production stuff. He
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: just did the board operation. But yes, he he was
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: our best board up.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And he would always wake up. Yeah, he would
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: always wake up in time for the break. We would
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: never have to shake him awake.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: That's incredible.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: It's as if he had a second sense about Oh okay,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: you guys are raving up.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, there we go.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh my time to shine.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: And he always talked about Spanky's chicken wings. Oh, you
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: got to come to Spanky.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: You got the best chicken wings in Vegas.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Oh my, I'm going to close my one last thing
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: and I'll do this quickly. Just uh, I can't get
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: through the week. Dave McGinnis, who used to be the
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, passed away this week.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: we were friends, but we knew each other. We were friendly.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: His wife was always trying to set me up on
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: dates with her friends. That was sort of the relationship.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: And then he would see me, and certainly we had
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: a relationship, if you will, professional relationship. But you just
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: don't run across many people and life, much less in
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: sports who are as purely kind as what Dave McGinnis was.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: We have like six of them on our baseball team
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason. Kind of feels like Sam Darnold's that
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: way on our football team.
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: I see that.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: But you just don't run into that many people, much
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: less those in the sports world, much less those dealing
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: with the media. Because we're sort of annoyances to them
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: for the most part, and yet couldn't have been a
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: nicer person, a kinder person. I don't know if he
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: was the best football coach in the world, but everybody
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: that played for him loved him. He is the person
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: that I think originated I'd never heard it before. He
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: was the person that originated the phrase one heart beat. Oh,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: that was his saying back with the Arizona Cardinals before
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: I'd ever heard anybody else say it, We're going to
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: operate with one heartbeat. He had this little tiny Southern
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: draw to him as well, just a prince of a person.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: And I know he's going to be sorely missed, certainly
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: by his wife and friends and family and everybody that
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: played for him, more so than even I because everybody
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: loved Dave McGinnis. He well said, he was a great,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: great man. All Right, we'll talk to you tomorrow at
