  Speaker 1: of course youtubing these days, so you can always watch
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: us talk about.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Stuff, so much more entertaining than just hearing us, I suppose.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And we both look particularly handsome today.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: I tried to look extra handsome for everybody.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, So we welcome you into the show. Whether you're
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: listening or eyeballing us doesn't really matter to us.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Stop staring at me, Swan.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: We're focused. We're focused and energized, all right. So our
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: baseball team had a terrible weekend. They lost to the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: San Diego Padres all three games, including an eight three
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: stinker yesterday on Sunday Night Baseball. So the entire nation
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: got to see the Mariners play poorly against the San
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Diego Padres. That's cool, right, Yeah, that's great. So that's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: a three game losing streak, you slip four games under
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: five hundred. Uh, and they are in a bad way
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: right now. They are not playing well. Offensively, that's clear.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: They're not playing well defensively, that's clear. And I'm not
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: sure they're getting a great effort, not effort, great performance
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: out of their skipper. But let's hear from Dan first,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Dan Wilson. After yesterday's loss and after this terrible weekend,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: tough day, tough.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Series, you know, we're gonna have to turn the page
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: quickly on this one. You know, today I thought, you know, uh,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: really only the one hit. We you know, didn't have
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: a lot of trap think you know, not that we
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: punched out a ton, but you know, a lot of
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: weaker contact today off of ge Alito. I thought he
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: was tough.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: He's got that, you know.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: We we know that funky short arm that he's gotten,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: and uh, you know it's tough to to square.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Him up today.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: And uh, just you know, weren't able to get anything
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: going offensively, you know, George, you know, really a couple
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: of pitches found some plate and you know they were
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: able to do some damage on them there, especially there
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: in the fifth inning, you know, tough inning, and and
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: uh but you know again we got to turn the
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: page quickly, and uh, you know, I thought it was
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: great to get cold out there, you know, get acclimated
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: here to the big leagues. You know, get a chance
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: to make a couple of plays there and get them
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: at bats and and uh, you know, get him in
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: here and and and get it more and more comfortable.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: That was it was a tough series all around, and
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: and uh, you know we got to bounce back from.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Him, Dan Wilson Sunday. That was a little more and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: there was a little more to that, by the way,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: than the typical films just baseball.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he wasn't there. It's just saying I fought till
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the end, and I thought we really tried. It just
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: wasn't there. I mean, at least he's calling it. Yeah,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: we didn't have a lot of opportunities.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: We didn't play well. Didn't play That's the closest I
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: think I've heard him just come out and say we
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: didn't play well.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: But it also kind of sounds like he was fighting
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: for other ways to avoid saying he didn't play well.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: And we're gonna have to live with him. Yeah, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I can live with that. I don't care if Dan
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Wilson is good at postgame press conferences or is very
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: tight lipped and never reveals anything or doesn't show his
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: personality or maybe doesn't have one. I don't know. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: don't care about that when it comes to my manager. Also,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I can even live with x's and o's if you're
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: getting the most out of your individual players. But we're
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: not getting that. We're not getting that right now from
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: this team. We haven't for forty six games. And I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: kind of get this sense that Dan's getting a little
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: overwhelmed by it. We have a bad offense right now
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that apparently doesn't show up until we're trailing by several runs.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: We have a worse defense right now, and I think
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: we got a manager that seems to be overwhelmed at
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: this moment. His decisions don't seem to be getting better
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to me. And let's break down a couple of those,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: because I have I owe explanations for that. We at
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: least have to give you my point of view anyway.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm right, but my point of view
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: on it. And that let's start with the platoon situation.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know why this is such a mystery. I mean,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it's one thing how hard the front office has worked
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to find proven veteran right handed hitters, who crush lefties
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and it's never worked out. So I don't know if
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: there's some ti Oscar Hernandez, you know, reflection off the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: hitting backdrop thing going on, that the stadium's crooked, or
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: whatever the reason might be. They have exhausted every opportunity
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to try and find a proven, veteran right handed hitter
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: against lefties, and none of them can hit. I don't
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: have a problem with platooning. It's been going on for
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: one hundred years. The two teams with the best records
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: in their respective leagues do it more than anyone. The
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays and the Los Angeles Dodgers. They platoon
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to a fault and it works out well for them
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: because they don't year after year keep acquiring proven right
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: handed hitters against left handed pitchers who have out of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: thin air hit their wall. I don't know why it's
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: going on, but it's Aj Pollock, it's Donovan Solano, it's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Mitch Garver, and now it's Rob rev Snyder. And I
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: don't put Connor Joe into that category, but I certainly
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: put ref Snyder into that category. And so that that's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that's number one. That's surprising. You'd like to think if
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you're Dan, it would be a lot easier, be a
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: lot easier if you were just hitting lefties a little
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: bit like you're supposed to do. But since you're not,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: you're making me look bad. You're making me look like
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a fool.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: But let's pull again.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: But then then the I'm going to replace a hot
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: hitter with in the sixth inning with a ice cold hitter,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and and then I am going to in the ninth
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: pay for that, because now I've got ref Sneider in
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a bigger situation, having to face a righty. And if
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you don't think he stands a chance against the lefty,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: he certainly doesn't seem to chance stand a chance against
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a righty. So, in other words, Dan Wilson, throughout this
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: process has been letting the other manager dictate how he manages.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good way to put it.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do this in the six because I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: know what you're going to do, and then you're going
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to be in my crosshairs in the eighth again. So
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: you just keep chasing me, and to me, the decision
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: is not to just go with Railey or Canzone. I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: thought they screwed it up again yesterday by excuse me
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Saturday night by letting Rayley hit because you had a
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: threat going on. And I don't know if the decision
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: was coming from the background by Dan Wilson or if
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Manny act is like I hate the way he does this.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I'm letting Rayley hit right here. But to me, that
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: was the time to bring in the right hander. It
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: was later in the game. You had guys on base,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and so then you use the right hander and hope
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that he gets his job done. But right now they
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: just seem to be making and I'm not saying this,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing hindsight on this. In the moment, it
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: just feels like they're off. In the sixth inning when
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: they bring in a lefty and you don't have anything going,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: let Rayley hit.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Just let him hit, yeah, because you then you
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: have the opportunity to make a change later.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Because they then in the eighth if they want to
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: bring in a righty, he's still in the game. Yes,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: in the sixth inning, you got bases loaded to nobody out,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and you want to take advantage of the moment, then
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: bring in ref Snyder. That's fine with me, you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: because you got a better chance of him putting the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: ball in play. Now. I did have a problem earlier
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: this year when Luke Rayley was by far and away
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: your hottest hitter and had already hit like two home
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: runs in the game, and you decided, now, let's take
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: him out right now.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: The metrics say we got it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the metrics say that we got to even
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: though ref Snyder hadn't even had a hit to that point.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: As a Mariner, I don't think it's that complicated, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: yet you continue to over complicated. It's not just as
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: easy as oh, that's a lefty. I can't let a
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: lefty h It's not that, it's not that defined. You
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: have to have a little bit of gut feel. You
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: kind of got to go with who's hitting well, who's
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: not hitting well, what the situation is, what the situation
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: isn't And it just feels like he's chasing his tail
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: on this. I don't mind platoons. I get that, that's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: what we brought Rev. Sneyder here for. We've got to
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: show faith in him. But situations change, and certainly if
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: it's the sixth inning and you know you're starting off
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: an inning and you don't have lots of traffic on
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the base pads and you need somebody with a better
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: chance of putting the ball in play. Unless it's that situation,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: stick with the better player because you're gonna want him
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: in the game in the eighth and the ninth inning.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: And then if it's the eighth and ninth inning, when
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: there's a really good chance that Rayley's not gonna come
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: up again, then you can use ref Snyder to lead
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: off an inning. But doing it in the sixth going
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to a ice cold hitter with nobody on base and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: thinking ref Nyder is going to start some sort of rally.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, how many times are you going to do
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: it and fail with it and then get caught in
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the eighth by the manager who's just you're a You're
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a string, You're on a string, You're a puppet on
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a string for him, he's dictating your moves from the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: sixth inning on, and every manager's been doing it to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: us all season long.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: It's, you know, the same, he's playing checkers while everyone
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: else is playing chess. I feel like in this case,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: everyone's playing checkers, but Dan is like, no, everyone's playing checkers.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: But I think we've got this if we start trying
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: to play chess, even though we don't know how to
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: play chess. So we're trying to overcomplicate things and then
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: in the end we end up overreacting to things that
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: then come back to bite us in the ass.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's actually good. Yeah, Yeah, it's okay. They're just playing.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: You're right, they're not doing anything complicated. Yeah, they're saying, huh,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I'd rather face Rep. Schneiner than Raley. I'm bringing in
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: a lefty, Yeah, that's it. And then there and if
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: he counters with Rep. Schneiner, then I've got him in
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the eighth and ninth inning when he comes back up,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: because I'll have a ride in.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: How many times are you going to fall for that trick?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: It's not that it's not that tricky of a trick.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Tricksters.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And you're right, they're just playing checkers. Play checkers.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: That's it. That's all you have to do.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I like that. The other thing is the pen man.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: You go to six man rotation for one week, and
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you think that all starting pitchers now have to go
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: seven eight innings to protect the bullpen. Farrere just got back.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Is he pitched once twice? Munjos again We've gone four
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: days without saying, Munjos, I mean, was it that out
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of the question Saturday night to take Gilbert out of
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the game when you just got back in the game.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Then maybe it may with a completely rested bullpen. Plus
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you got Brash down in triple A has no business
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: being there.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, what was the score at that moment? Okay,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: so you got back in the game. There was five
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to nothing, because of course we have to be trailing
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: by five before we score. Got it back to five
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to two, and then in the seventh inning you send
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Gilbert back out there again with a completely rested bullpen. Hey,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you don't have to wait for a tie or a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: lead every single night to pitch your best guys. Yeah,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: and yet that's the mindset that we have. And how
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: many times has that burned us? And in this case,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: it was letting Logan go out for one inning too many.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: He wasn't pitching great, He fought his way through six,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: and yeah, we're gonna send him back out there for
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a second.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Half of being a manager is the feel for the game,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: and it doesn't seem he does.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And even then there was a double before the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: two run homer, which was the backbreaker. Why isn't he
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: coming out of the game after the double?
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Great question.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, if it can be done wrong, we're doing it wrong.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: And I'm not sitting here saying on May eighteenth, it's
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: time to fire Dan Wilson. I don't play that card
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: very often. I try to play it at the very
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: last resort. But if I found out that he did
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: get fired, I understand. Philadelphia Phillies had very high expectations
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: going into this season as well. The season started slipping
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: away from them earlier than they ever anticipated. They replaced
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a successful manager, a very popular manager, and Rob Thompson
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: with Don Mattingly. They've gone fifteen and four since that time.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: It was a shakeup. They did a shakeup. They shook
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: it up, and the players responded. The players wore it
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: on their sleeves. We're the ones that got Rob fired,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and now we got a wake up. It was a
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: wake up call. I'm not calling for it, but if
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: it happened, I understand.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Would you be surprised, Yes, yeah, I would be surprised.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about cold, Let's talk about something positive. Yeah,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: even though not nearly as positive as I wanted it
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to be man. I envisioned a lot of scenarios in
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the off season, spring training, during regular season games, different
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: ways to discuss it on my sports talk radio show
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: of how cold Emerson would be called up. And I
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: really I had resigned to this thought that there was
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: going to be a point in this season where I
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: was going to be able to come on the air
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and say, it's time. It's time. It's got enough experience.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not seeing JP, the arm strength not coming back.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Batting average is still two twenty. I get that he
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: gets on base, but I don't know how valuable it
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: is when you can't run to get on base with
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: a walk, need to to drive him home. I thought
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: that it was going to be a time in this
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: year where I'd say, it's obvious, let's do it, and
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I was going to beat him to the punch, it's
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: time to activate cold Emerson. And then Colt could call
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: his mom and dad and share the news and cry
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: with them, and mom and dad would book the next
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: flight to Seattle and be here in the stadium to
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: watch a really good baseball team, maybe even a great
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: baseball team that decided midway through the year. You know what,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: things are really going well, but we could be even better.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Cold Emerson is better than JP Crawford and we know it,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: and there's no reason to beat around the bush anymore.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Let's activate him and let's just become that much better
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: that we've got another weapon that we're adding without even
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: making a trade. That's how I envisioned this happening. A
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: luxury item, if you will, that Colt Emerson was going
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to be a luxury item for the twenty twenty six
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners, And now all of a sudden, it feels
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: like he's here to save the day.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: It almost like too much pressure.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's like it's out of necessity. I'm not
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: sure if they're putting him in the role of savior.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: There are over one hundred games to go, there's a
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: lot of baseball, and I still think we're going to
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: pull away no matter what cold Emerson contributes to this
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six team. But he suddenly gets called up.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Where I was envisioning it was going to be a
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: luxury situation and instead it feels like a necessity. Brendan Donovan,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: it's very clear is not healthy. We need to put
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: him back on the injury list, and this time, we're
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: not going to suffer watching Leo Revass play third base
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: for the next ten days. So let's do it. Let's
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: activate the kid. We were thinking about doing it in
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: spring training anyway, Let's activate the kid. So cold Emerson
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: comes up to third. You don't have to, you know,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: you don't have to demote your veteran leader and shortstop
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: JP Crawford, and cold Emerson steps in for Brendan Donovan
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: in this situation. And that's how he's going to start
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: his major league career. Out of necessity, and not even
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: with the time, not even the courtesy of the night before.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: So that he could get his family and friends there
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: to see his great moment. He had to race from
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Tacoma to Seattle just to kind of get here. I'm
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: not going to say on time, but he was racing
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: here to start his preparation and so it just as
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: exciting as it was, and it was the best part
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: about last night. And I think he handled himself well
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: in his three at bats. It still even that ends
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: up being because this organization can't get off to a
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: good start. Ever, even that has to be far less
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: than what it could have been. Even the excitement of
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: activating your number one prospect, your sixth rank prospect in
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: all of baseball. A lot of Mariner fans could not
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: wait for this moment, and it has to be this
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: sped up race him to the ballpark, get him in
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the lineup, because we can't stand to watch Leo Revas
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: play third base for one more day. And that's how
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: cold Emerson makes his debut, as opposed to that wonderful
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: scenario that I mapped out previously that I had in
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: my head for him, how he would debut as a
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: luxury item, not as an.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Assassin, and that would have been an absolute dream scenario.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I feel like, probably as a Mariners fan, I wouldn't
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: have expected it to be perfectly dreamy, but at least
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: in a better scenario than what he came up in yesterday.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, Ryan rolland Smith pointed out on the broadcast
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: it was one o'clock when Colt Emerson was being told
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: he was going to Seattle for four to thirty game. Yeah,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: and so, I mean, wow, even the video in the office,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: he didn't, you know.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: I love those videos.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I watch them and I cry with the players who
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: are so excited, and you always get the build up,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: like the manager wants to sit down and talk to
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: him for a couple minutes, you get the build up.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: He didn't even he said where should I sit? Oh,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: you don't need to sit. You gotta go. And it
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: was like just everything felt rushed with the whole thing.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: And that's you know, I think if you'd called him
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: up the day before, then his family has a chance
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: to get there. Then more Mariners fans are buying tickets
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: because they don't want to miss Colt Emerson's debut as
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: a Mariner. So it's just or even earlier in the
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: morning something then I don't know, it just seemed it
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: all seemed rushed, and I just that's sad.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I get why they did it, and they will never
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: say it, but it's because they couldn't stand watching Leo
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Rivas fail at baseball again. And I hate being rough
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: on the kid, but man, has he been a major
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: disappointment this year.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Last year was goodness, he was a bright spot in
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of at a lot of times.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: But he has not been a bright spot very much.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, he's been terrible. So I get why they did it.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Donovan can't go. Emerson's our best option. Let's just do it.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Let's just go for it. But it certainly is not
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the way they envisioned wanting him to do it the
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: way I envision wanted to do it, the way Colt
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: envisioned it happening. Colt's family envisioned it happening. And so
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: it was even that got screwed up. I mean, I
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: don't know what it is about Mariner Baseball before June,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: but it feels like everything just gets screwed up. And
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: even that, even something like that, which I envisioned as being, man,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: how exciting is this going to be? This team's going
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: And then they might be able to add whether and
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: it might not be a short stup. JP takes over
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: and plays better. Fine, maybe it's a third base and
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Donovan becomes a DH at that point. But all the
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: scenarios I envisioned, I wasn't expecting to get a text
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: on a Sunday on yesterday afternoon saying Colt was being
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: called up and making his debut. Yeah, and it was
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: just kind of half asked the entire process, Yeah, because
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: it had to be sped up.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: It had to be all sped up.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it's just again, as you say, understandable why
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: they're doing it. But I would have assumed they would
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: have known that Brendan Donovan's injury was worse on Saturday,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: so I would have assumed they could have at least
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: put it out late Saturday.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I'll say this. I was in Tacoma Friday, and I
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: did not leave the park thinking, boy, cold Emerson's ready.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I was not going to come on the airway and
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: say it's time. That was not going to be part
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: of the script today on the Chuck and Buck radio program.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I feel he needed more seasoning, and even that now
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: is going to get rushed because I can't imagine he's
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: just here for a short period of time just to
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: fill the gap for Donovan to get healthy.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: He better not be.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I would imagine he's here to stay. They signed him
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to a nine year major league baseball contract, paying him
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: good money without having played a single major league baseball game.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Haven't seen a major league pitch. So now that he's up,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I would assume he's up to stay.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Whether that says third basement or shortstop or what role
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: he plays the rest of the year, I don't know,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: But barring catastrophe, like he's just can't handle major league
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: pitching just yet. I would think he's here on the
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: roster for the rest of the year, I will say so.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: I would hope so.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: One.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: I'm going back and forth.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Coming up next. The PGA Championship occurred over the weekend.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: That you know, and if you listen to our show,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: you know that Ashley had a special personal interest in
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: this year's PGA Championship. One of her very good friends
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: played in the tournament on Thursday and Friday. He is
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: from Seattle. He works at PMW Golf Academy, and hopefully
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: this is a first of many majors for him going forward.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: But once the dust settled in Derrick Berg's life and
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: he was back on Washington Soil, Ashley tracked him down
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to interview him for our show today and we're going
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: to play that next on KJR. Well sports is about
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: seeing dreams come true quite often, and it's one thing
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: to watch someone like cold Emerson do it. It's another
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: thing to watch a very good friend of yours watch
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: their dream come true. That's what happened last week when
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Ashley's friend Derek Berg, right here from Seattle, participated in
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the PGA Championship and played Thursday and Friday in Philadelphia,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: And so now that he's back and he settled and
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the Whirlwind experience is over with Ashley, you can set
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: it up. Ashley had a chance to sit down and
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: chat with him last night.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just chatted like about eight thirty last night.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: I got to get just it was the first time
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I'd had a conversation with him since, you know, a
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: couple of text messages while he was there. I wanted
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: to give him a little time to decompress, but I
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: was really excited to just kind of hear about the
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: whole thing. We chatted on the phone at the beginning
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: of the week, so I wanted to know, Okay, from
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the week when I talk to you
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: till now you're home, you've had time to look through
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: the whole thing. You know, how did it go?
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: So?
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so here's Ashley Ryan with Derek Berg.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: How would you describe this past week?
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely was living a dream. So one experience, least
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: kind of do it once. Hopefully I could do it
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: many more times. But yeah, it was quite the experience.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, you get to the course on Monday morning. What
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: time did you get there.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: I got there brighten early.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: I got there at seven am and saw mister Justin
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: Thomas hitting balls, the only other one on the driving rod.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: So when did it sink in though, like I'm here
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: to play in a major golf championship.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd say later that morning, you know, when everybody
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: kind of kind of started getting there.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: It was really slow Monday morning.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: You know, it didn't get all the guys did it's
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: started getting go until probably around ten or eleven, and
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: then I played really late in the afternoon that day.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: I played nine holes with Bob McIntyre and I played
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: like three or four holes with Jordan's Feast, So that
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: afternoon it was it was definitely you know, everybody pretty
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: much gotten there. So yeah, the range was full putting
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: greens with full guys starting to play you know, nine
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: or eighteen holes. So yeah, that's when you kind of start,
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: you know, seeing everybody and seeing everything and getting going.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: So I will say for a lot of our listeners,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: they know Bob McIntyre is Robert McIntyre. Are you and
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Bob just now like so tight? You just called them
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Bob and was he like just call me Bob man?
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we're pretty much best he's at this point.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Look at what you gained this week, I know.
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: But he's a great Dude's super easy to root for.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: Had a blast with him.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: So oh that's awesome.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you step onto the tea box with Bob
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: and Jordan Speith for your first practice round.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Were you like, oh, yeah, this is just golf. I
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: can do this.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: I definitely can do this. But no, this wasn't just golf.
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: No. At that point too, they're like, having been a
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: little the crowd started getting a little bit bigger too
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: and everything. But no, the practice runs were weird. I mean,
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: it's a couple of the guys I already knew, had
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: already played earlier in the morning, so it was just
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: kind of, like I said, I kind of dilly dollied
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: most of the morning in practice and stuff, and then
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: was like, you know, I probably should go play nine
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: holes and then there's no tea time, so you just
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: you just stroll down there, and yeah, it's kind of
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: awkward sometimes because you got you know, know, you don't know
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: if the guys have got groups or you know, they're
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: waiting for others, you know, so you're kind of just like,
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: can I play with you? And yeah, it's just kind
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: of how it goes. So I fortunately a little bit.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: I know Michael Greller a little bit. So I saw
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: Bob just standing there, and then I saw Jordan come down,
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: and then when I saw Michael, I was like, I
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: joined you guys. He's like, I don't know, Jordan's gonna
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: ask Bob and we might have to ask Bob. And
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: then ten seconds later all our balls are in the air,
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: were walking downtown.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: So that's crazy. Bob said yes.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: Bob said yes, he let Jordan and I joined him.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: What a nice guy.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: What a nice guy.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you get practice jouns Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, And
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: you mentioned Tuesday.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: I think it was you played with Nick.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Taylor, right, former you dub and former you were on
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: the Canadian tour together.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: Yep, yep, So Nick and I kind of chatted a
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: little bit beforehand and then yeah, we played. It was
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: me and Nick and then Austin Hurt played on Tuesday.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Nice so yeah, ok yeah, okay.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: So good to see Nick do well this week.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say he was in I mean, he
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: was doing really well, especially on Saturday.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: Just didn't have the finish he wanted kind of last nine.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: But yeah, he was in the mix.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: You brought this up, so we're just going to talk
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: about Let's talk about something that had nothing to do
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: with you. The Aaron Ryes putt today to seal his win.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, was that one of the most incredible things
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: you've ever seen?
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: That's silly putt?
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: I mean, well, that pin in general is like, even
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: though they were playing from one seventy, I mean, that
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: pin is insane over there.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you know.
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: You probably hit it exactly were meant to hit it
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: about fifty feet to the right, especially with a couple
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: of shot lead.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: But then to make that.
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: It was I was I would say, you're you gave
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: ten twenty handicaps that putt and they're putting it in
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: the water like that thing's not that far.
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: From the water.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: It was crazy, like and you it was so hard. Well,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: you made a really good put on.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Now I can't it was like a thirty six foot
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: putt that you made for Bertie?
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Wasn't it for Bertie?
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: On?
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: God?
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: What, I don't know. I didn't have very many of them, so.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully Okay, first of all, here's the thing.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, So now we're gonna go back to you in
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: you're round.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: So, Okay, you've played hundreds, hundreds of golf tournaments, right,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: but and you practice on this course and then you
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: go out there on Thursday.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: We're going to go back to the very beginning of Thursday.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Now, what is it like when you step up to
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: the tea box on Thursday morning and you here from
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Washington now on the tea box, Derek Burg, we could.
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: Probably can go back to Wednesday because when I'm playing
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: my practice round late in the afternoon and all of
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: a sudden, Mike Caddy and your husband say, the tea
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: times have just rolled.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because I sent it to five ironho. That's
• 29:17

• 29:33

• 29:37
  Speaker 5: I was like, I think there's gonna be some people.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're kind of in the mix of it.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: And I was like, oh my god.
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: So uh yeah, like Thursday morning was there was the
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: heart was going from like the get go.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: So there's just nothing to prepare for it. I mean
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: tell you just you.
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: Just have to do it. It's just like you want
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: to learn to swim. Sometimes you had jump in the
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: deep end, you know a little bit. So yeah, Thursday
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: was There's just no way I could have prepared for it.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: It's just what it is. What it was.
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: I was super nervous, just knowing there was going to
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: be tons of people following our little pod, I guess
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: you would call it. So, yeah, you go on the first.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: Tea and and I couldn't feel my hands, to be.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Honest, okay, fair, and.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, heart was.
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: I could feel it pounding and just wanted to kind
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: of get the ball moving forward and I did.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: Thank Yeah.
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: So it was something I'll never forget, but hopefully be
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: able to use going forward, you know, in other tournaments
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: and stuff like that. The next day it was way
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: easier in the morning and all the way through my
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: practice session, and I got nervous on the first tea again,
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: but it was a little less and it was. Yeah,
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: the next day was a lot easier than it was
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: the first day, so I.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Could totally imagine that.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: So even on that first day though, you tee off
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: and yeah, you're nervous. Everybody, I mean everybody could understand
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: that you would be nervous, but you did you calm
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: yourself down because your second nine you were one under.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, I thinks just things got a little
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: bit more comfortable and then yeah, I just I played
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: fine the second nine, but yeah, I think things got.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: A little bit more back to golf. Okay for the
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: lack of better words, but.
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's I'm still even trying to figure out, like, yeah,
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: how all sudden things change, because it's just really hard
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: to describe when you go from every tournament you've basically
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: played in there's twenty people around it the most. Yeah,
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden, there is like five deep behind
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: the t box, five deep down both sides of the
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: faraway and then five deep behind each you Green and you,
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: I mean you're basically just hitting down, you know, like
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: what you watch on TV all the time when you're
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: watching any of those guys play, and you go from
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: never having anybody to watch.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: To do that. It's just it's just weird. It's just different.
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: You just like I said, there's unfortunately no way to
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: prepare for it, and you just get in there and
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: do your best. But yeah, I guess I must have
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: just kind of settled in a little bit.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: So yeah, okay, so you finish day one, what was
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: the first thought that went through your mind?
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was like, okay, got that done.
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: Basically like one in the books, I can kind of
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: go into tomorrow semi expecting, knowing what to expect.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Just looking back, what would you say was your favorite
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: moment of that whole week?
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: M I mean, as much as it was kind of
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: you know, nerve racking and stuff, I'd say it was
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: it was pretty neat being able to be in that
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: well in the group with su Wu. He's a great,
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: great guy, you know, so it was a pretty comfortable
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: parent So that was good. But then to be in
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: that little like I said, lack of better words pod
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: where it superstars also surrounding the group, it was like, hey,
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: I've always wanted it, and I got it.
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: So it's like, you know, as much as it made
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: me feel nervous, it was like it's going to help
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: me down the road. So yeah, So I think even
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: as much as it made me feel uncomfortable.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: That was probably the best part. But yeah, just.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: Taking it all and I think all of it's great.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: I don't know if there was. There was definitely nothing
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: that was negative like Zilch. There was nothing negative.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: It was.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: It was all really really good. I would just say,
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: there's a lot. You know, you're kind of you know,
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: you're looking over here. Okay, you got to go practice
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: over here. You know, it's really hard to not get
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: worn out in your first one because you're just like
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: trying to play well, you're trying to practice, You're trying
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: to take in everything that's going on, and you know

  Speaker 1: off our chest.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: What do you got I saw this text.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: I love to draw attention to our Texters who participate
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: during our show, right on the Tacoma Dodge text line
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: in this text, I did not respond to the texture
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: and give him his just due, and I do think
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: I need to do this. This was the two oh
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: six when we were talking about the Padres sweeping the Mariners.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he wrote.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: So the Padres are our daddy, you might say, yeah,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: and it took me a minute to think, father, Yes,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: great job, well done, thank you for the giggle two six.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: I really appreciated it.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, you uh your I am your ful. Yeah. Greg
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Bell calls them the dads.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Apparently he's been doing that for years with Chris Kidd,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: and Kid finally asked him on Friday. I was listening
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: to their show, like what does that even mean? And
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: it kind of had to explain it because it's really
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: not I mean padre, father, but there the Padres the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: religious right like a.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Friar, which is why they call them the friars.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: So, but he's been calling them dads, and Kid was
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: just like, enough, why do you call them that?
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: I don't get it, that's funny.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't want to know why they wear brown
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: and yellow.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: I do want to know that, because it's an ugly
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: combination that I somehow like.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Because they I do too. Yeah, I didn't always.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Now I get better than the orange and the blue
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: that they went to.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: The modern version of the brown and yellow I love
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: much better. But they were owned by Ray Kroc, who
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: was the founder of McDonald's, and the original McDonald's were
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: brown and yellow. They weren't red and yellow like we've
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: known them for most of our lives. The original ones
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: were brown and yellow, and so he wanted the uniforms
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: to be the same colors of his McDonald's restaurants.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: You learned something new every day.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Here you go. I love that yet the color code
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: for the most part ever since all right, my one
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: last thing, I just put in for some vacation days.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Oh did you?
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: And I look down there and I got plenty to use.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: But I have even more sick days, oh that I
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: could use. Coming on, I have forty eight point three
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: sick days.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: That point three sick days.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's a lot. If I'm doing the
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: math right on this. So do you get five a year?
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Is that it?
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: It's based on hours that much. I know, but I
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: think you get I don't know.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's like three hundred and sixty eight hours,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: and then I divided it by eight, okay, because that's
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: where we go by eight hours, even though we only
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: do four hour show, right, So I think I have
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: forty eight that's and that's five days a week obviously
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: that we work, So that's nine and a half weeks.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I'm owed. I mean I could just take sick days,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: start a love affair with Kim Basinger, and then be
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: done with.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: It and a half weeks have it all wrapped up.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Me and Kim could be kaputz. Yeah, and then I
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: could be right back on the air.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: And we'd welcome you with open arms.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Forty eight point three six days. Well, I could come
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: back looking like new and improve John Travolta with forty
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: eight sick days.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Fully knew and improved John Trivulta. Because John Travolta scares
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: me these days.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Did you see him over the weekend? No?
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: I did not, But I can't look at him after
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: that Santa AD when he plays stand Alive Santa.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Terrified, Oh my gosh, you got to look this up.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Oh no, So he shows up in public for the
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: first time in a long time, and he's got dressed
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: in a beret and he's got a obviously a black
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: beard now that he'd colored. He looks thirty years younger
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: from the last time anyone had seen John Travolta. Thirty
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: years younger. So I don't know what kind of voodoo
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: they're doing in La these days, but I guarantee you
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: John Travolta's phone was ringing off the hook to try
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: to see who his doctor was. Yeah, because he doesn't
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: look he doesn't look bad, He just looks younger.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he actually he looks better.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: I think I wonder if he got some of the
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: fillers and stuff that he had made his face removed,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: because he looks more normal, like there was a time
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: where everything was very and.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: It's very clear that he's had work, but it is
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: extraordinary work because.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: It's gotten better for sure.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, he looks he looks thirty years younger, looked
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: like he into a time machine.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: It looks like that, and he's seventy.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Two, seventy two years old, and he probably lovely. He
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: probably looks forty five in that. Yeah, with his new.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Face, his new face.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, he's probably yeah, doctor, you're right.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: His doctor's phone is probably ringing off the hook.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk to you tomorrow at six am.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, that's going to be Anders and Christopher Kids.
