  Speaker 1: Adam as well, how are you, sir?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I'm doing well. I'm already having a winning day.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because of Ashley and I being in your
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: lives on the mound.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Yet Yeah, Madison got the girls at school. I dropped
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: the last one off.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: I'm hearing the staff parking lot trying not to get
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: towed as I talk to you and all your listeners
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: out there.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: We'll see, we'll see.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: So far did they send around a guy you know
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: on a golf cart to monitor the staff parking lot?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: So I've not seen him yet.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, Well he'd understand though, if you were on
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the phone doing a radio interview, you could park there
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: for a little while.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Right, Well you think so? Mention your name?
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Sure? Well, yeah, yeah, drop my name for sure. That'll
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: get you a long way.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: In this town. I like it.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I like that after a sweep you give me a call,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: like where were you in Saint Louis when the Maritors
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: were doing the sweeping?
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Where were you on the five and one road trip?
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Far the record, We've given you plenty of calls here
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: as of late, and this was the first time you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: were available in a while. So you've been busy. You've
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: been too busy for us. But you're right, I mean,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: but sometimes you got to understand, mister Adam, that sometimes
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a weird off weekend like that leads to a lot
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: more conversation. And I'm actually kind of glad. I mean,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I sure, I'd love to exchange some laughs and talk
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: about Julio's seven home runs from over the weekend. That'd
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: be nice. But I actually think that you got some
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: insight the rest of us really don't have, and I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: would just ask, I would just ask, like, what is
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the mood? Because obviously sports talk show hosts have a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: reputation for overreacting to things like this weekend. Fans certainly
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: overreact to things like this week And when I say things,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I mean three consecutive losses to a team that came
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: in struggling when we thought that the Mariners had maybe
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: fixed themselves on the road trip, and so I realized
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that players and managers take things a lot more in
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: stride over one hundred and sixty two games than what
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: talk show hosts and fans do. But are they bothered?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Were they bothered by this weekend? What was the mood
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: around the team having played that pre of a series,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: just when you thought they'd turn things around.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And it was such a big weekend too, with all
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Famers.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: And all my eighties music, and before I get into
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: the Mariners helped me out here. Ryrol Smith I were
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: having an argument on set. I'm an eighties guy. Yeah,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I'm an eighties rock guy. I do appreciate some of
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: the nineties, but he's all nineties. He like, he doesn't
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: like any of the eighties rock.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Mean, I think I'm going to answer this very clearly
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: for you, it goes sixties is the best, then the seventies,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: then the nineties.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Oh you do think nineties, then the eighties, but the eighties.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Siding with the Aussie I'm gonna I'm not going say seventies.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go sixties, sixties, nineties, eighties, seventies, but the eighties,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the eighties was the most fun decade of music ever.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: It was fun.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you give me that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll give you that.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well not much fun music.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: For the For the series, yeah, it was.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: You know, it's it is a long season. But the
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: guys were certainly disappointed in the play. I think they
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: were surprised that Brian Wu had another start where he
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: was tattooed, and they're looking into if he's you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: tipping any of his pitches or kind of what's going
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: on with his two starts.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: You know, losing Cal really obviously hurts, especially when you
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: face out lefty like they did yesterday. You know, the
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: right hands that they got in the off season just
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: haven't quite hit yet.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And no roadblaze from the right side.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Leo Revos doesn't give you a whole lot offensively from
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the right side, and no Cal the last two games,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: so that yesterday it was a tough matchup for them.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: You saw only the one run.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: The offense just it's it's just inconsistent, to say the least.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: You know, over the course of the season you're gonna
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: have that with an offense and without Donovan, who we
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: thought we were going to get on the home stand. Now
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: it's looking like Chicago on the road trip. Donovan and
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Cal make just huge differences in the lineup, so we're
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: not seeing their their starters, we're not seeing the best
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: of them.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Who has been better?
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Uh, some guys have picked it up a little bit,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: but offensively, it's just wasn't there and was surprising. Emerson
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: was fantastic about Castilla was better. You know, they should
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: have won, certainly Emerson's game, and they could have. They
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: should have had more than one run yesterday. I know that,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: But I think with one hundred and twenty seven games
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: left or whatever, it is certainly no panic, but frustrated
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: with big crowds on the weekend and it wasn't what
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: they wanted against a team You're right that they definitely
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: should have beat.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, are they? Do they get bothered by it?
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I mean I get that, I get they didn't get
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the results they want. But do they they get locked
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: so far into their world of it's such a long
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: season that something like I think people like to know
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: does it Does it even affect him? It doesn't seem
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to affect Dan Wilson He seems to explain it in
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: every postgame press conference, like, you know, that's that's that's
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: just that's baseball, and that's the way they He doesn't
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: seem to be bothered by it at all. Are the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: player I mean they are there bats being broken? Are
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: there people throwing fits? Are there people that are angry
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: or embarrassed or anything like that? Or do they just
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: take it in stride? And if that's the answer, that's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the answer, And it's probably the best news that they
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: are confident, they know they'll fix it and whatever they
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: kick the weekend series, there are plenty of weekend series remaining.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's the answer. I don't know.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: I think it is the answer. I think there's no
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: panic and they're not upset. There may be upset for
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: the day, but coming in today with the braves, I
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: think they'll be just fine. The results weren't what they wanted, obviously,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: but these guys all talk about obviously the long season,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: but also just the process and them putting in the
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: work every day. They preached process over results.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And it's funny.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Early in the year, cal was talking about how he
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: was chasing results because the team was losing.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: It's off to a slow start. He wanted to win
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: so badly.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: He wanted to do some things for the team trying
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: to help them win, and he and he kind of
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: went outside of his approach, outside of you know, the
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: process what they call that, and he was chasing and
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: and it just didn't work. So then he got back
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: into focus on at that for at that the process
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: and what they want to work on each and every
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: day and then the results come. So that's kind of
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: their belief and their thoughts. So over the course of
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: the season, everything evens out and their talent will eyes up,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: and I think it will. You know, I still think
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: they're definitely gonna win the West. I think over the
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: course of the season. Yeah, you don't panic, you don't
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: make rash decisions, and you just kind of keep with
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: the work, keep with the process, and the results will come.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think they're gonna win it. I think they're
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: gonna win it comfortably before it's all set it do,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: but it is. It was a frustrating weekend to watch
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: them play. Brad Adam is with us from Mariners TV
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: also probably was jamming out the Fine Young Cannibals before
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a week Yeah, because you know, he had to write
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: he had to rock in eighties while he was dropping
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: his daughter's off at the school. You know, maybe a
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: little crash test Dummies on the Way to the world.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: That song is terrible one.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: It's so great, it's fun different, Yeah, exactly.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: When I think eighties, Yeah it was.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think eighties. I'm more of the rock side
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: of eighties, like Guns and Roses. That's when they burst
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: on the scene. Motley Crue was a fun band.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Tiffany going back, you got Daddy Gibson, Yeah, sure, yeah.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, none of these.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I have to agree with you. Guys. Nineties were better
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: than the eighties.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Eighties was all over the board. It was so fun.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: It was you know in w A w A coming out, Yeah.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Doctor Dre and everywhere, yeah, everywhere, all at once.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And then this decade it's pretty much Taylor Swift and
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: everybody that wants to be like Taylor Swift. And that's accurate.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Everybody who collapsed with Taylor Swift. Yes, you got to
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: be a star, just with Taylor Swift.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Brad Adam is with us, all right, So what's going
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: on with cal And look, I'm going to ask you
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and answer it. However, you want, But a lot of
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Mariner fans want to know. Why are they so tight
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: lipped about injury? Why couldn't we know? Why did we
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: have to go three days with our best player. Everybody's
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: worried about Cal We're thinking the worst. Why why can't
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: we just tell people on Friday night he's got something
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: to his side. We don't think it's a big deal.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: We're going to take it day to day. Why does
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: it have to be a mystery with them all the time.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: That's a great question.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know, And I was thinking just NHL playoffs
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: when they're trying to corner Dan Wilson into saying what
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: the injury was, and on Friday night he said just
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: general body soreness.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like what what part of the body? Yeah, you know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: we'll know more tomorrow.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Dan's great, He just he just doesn't want to give
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: anything away. Perfectis players, which is which is great. I'm
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: not really sure why. I think they want to be
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: cautious to not give out misinformation, But I do agree
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: with you.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: A little bit.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: They could have it's his right side, and you know,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: obleaques are tricky, and certainly in baseball, you know, you
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: use your core and he swings from both sides and
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: throws all the time. Obviously, as a catcher, that's something
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: that you want to heal. You don't want to have
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: him go out there like a Luke Railey last year
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: and try it and he just never got healthy all year.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Brash on the il smart to calm his down. Bryce
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Miller's been out all year with his oblique. So these
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: are no jokes. So with Preda up, they've got three
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: catchers on the roster right now, I would not be
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: surprised if they just go super cautious and put cal
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: on the iel. It's just have him rest for a
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: couple of days, you know, just because they've got Preda
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: up already. It just makes sense as opposed to try to,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: you know, have him sit two more games and then
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: try to play. And I don't know, I don't know how,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know anything about it. I'm just saying, obliques,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: we've seen how tricky they can be, and let's just
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: get him healthy in early May so we've got him
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: for the whole season.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: As Donovan, what are you hearing on Donovan? Is he close?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, he's gonna do a few rehab games.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: That was the hope and then join the team for
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: the weekend in Chicago. They originally wanted him, like I said,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: the home stand, this home stand, it didn't quite work out.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: But he's been on the field taking grounders, he's been hitting.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: He feels fine, but he needs a little game experience,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: get him some.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Live abs before coming back to the team.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: But you know, that's a huge part of the offense
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: because he was their best hitter while he was in there,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: you know, and bo Rivas is a nice player, but
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: he's not Donovan, So you know, you get an upgrade
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: defensively and also certainly offensively with Donovan come back, and
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: then he's back in the leadoff spot and everybody kind
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: of goes back to their roles. So hopefully in Chicago
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: we'll get him back and get this offense role. He
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: again another team they should beat. Right then you go
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: to Houston for four. That's another team you should be
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: You know that that should be three wins, right, how
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: mad Houston is right now?
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, Brad Adam is with us. Of course, child
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: of the eighties. His He'll tell you Beach Boys best
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: song was Cocomo. There's no question about that.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Is at the moment John Stamos.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, no, that's a different one.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: You'll get there faster if you take it close.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: By the way, didn't he play bank Goes on that?
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Not on that one? But I know what some you're
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: talking about.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't get to watch a lot.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Of Full House. Oh is that right when they went
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: to the Beach Boys concert?
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Did the Beach Boys have anything before the eighties? I
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: didn't know that.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: A little bit, a little bit, Brad Adam Yeah, boy,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I just bought I just bought violator from record player
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Ago Thompson.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Remember that.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, Howard Jones.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: There you go, yet simply simple had a little rat
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: out of the cellar.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: See now you're going back to the hard stuff.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Come on, come on, great White, We could.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Go on, We could go on. I do have other No, no, no,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: you I have more things to talk baseball with you about.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Because yeah, because Luis Castillo did have a an improved game.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: But I mean to me, Brad Emerson, Hancock just ended
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the conversation Saturday night. I mean, if you took him
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: out of this rotation, now you might have people march
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: on the Capitol for goodness sake. So to me, I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: mean it's over. I mean, if you want to drum
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: up some sort of conversation about Ryce Miller versus Castillo
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: or a six man rotation, I mean, I don't like
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: either of those ideas, but at least I'll have a
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: conversation with you about it. I'm not having a conversation
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: about Emerson Hancock. If they send him to Tacoma or
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: to the bullpen after the way he pitched Saturday or
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the way he's pitched to this point in the season,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that would be flat out lunacy as far as I'm concerned,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: What are you hearing? What is the plan at this stage?
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Do you think if they know, they're being very tight
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: lipped about it. I think that the plan was to
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: kind of see what happens, you know, when Bis was
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: coming back, and kind of wait out his month of
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: rehab starts and kind of see what the rotation was
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: and what was happening. But you're right, you can't Hancock out.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: You can't move him to the bullpen. He's been the
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: most consistent, reliable starter so far this season.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Cacilla was better yesterday.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: You know that the three runs he gave up in
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: the fourth were you know, you know, all on non
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: hit you know, but he's obviously they still earn. But
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: the first three innings the velo is back het a
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: lot of swinging mess. It was better, but you're right,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: he's been there. I don't want to say worst starter,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: but the least defective starter this season.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I think he does have options.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Would he go to the minors, Would he go and
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: kind of reset and figure some things out? Or does
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: he think he's close and does night start will be
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: really really good six man rotation. I don't think that's
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: in play. I think these guys are pretty much creatures
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: of habit and at that extra day I don't think
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: would benefit them. And they're also assuming that Bryce Miller
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: is going to come back and be Bryce Miller, you know.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, who knows how long it'll take him to
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: find a rhythm or whatever results might be.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Maybe he goes to the bullpen.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: They've got options, which they always say is good with pitching.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: I just don't know which way they're leaning right now.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: It's a hard decision, but you're right. I think it's
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: easy with Emerson, right he says right where he is.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: What's the scuttle. But with Kate Anderson, the way he's
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: dominating Double A. I mean, what of the whispers around
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the ballpark. And I'm not necessarily saying from you got
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: to tell us what you're hearing, you know, from Jerry's
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: mouth to God's ears, but just the you know you
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: guys that discuss this stuff. What what is the feeling
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: of how close Kate Anderson is to being a major leaguer.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's dominating Double.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: A, dominating, right I think there's a move up for
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: him Triple A. I don't think they would go Double
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: A to the to the majors with him. I know
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: they've done that with a couple of relievers that they've
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: called up this year, but I don't think they'll do
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: that with him.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I just as well as he's pitching.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I just don't think there's a spot yet for him.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Maybe later in the season. I would not be shocked
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: at off he's up this season. Maybe later in the
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: year when I don't they want to set the rotation
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: maybe or or give a guy a blow here or there.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Maybe he comes up. But obviously they're thrill with the
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: way he has started his career. I mean, it is
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: untouchable in Double A right now. And people were wondering
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: why aren't you starting him in ever?
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Why not? You know, just single a He say, Well,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: this kid is super advanced.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: He's got four pitches, he knows how to pitch, how
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: to use them. It's thrilled that they got their shocked
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: that he fell to them at three, and he just
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: lived up to everything. So super happy with where he is.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: No reason to rush him. There's no spot right now
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: for him. I don't think they bring him up and
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: put him in the pen either, so I think they're
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: just waiting and seeing kind of let him develop naturally
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: over the course of the season.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Well, Braves tonight, nothing like coming off that ugly weekend
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: series and having to face the hottest team in baseball,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: but that is the case. So they've got local kids. JR.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Ritchie going Any special features on JR. Ritchie tonight from
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Mariners TV.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think anything pregame. We're certainly going to tell
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: his story from Painbridge Island. I'm sure the cameras will
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: find his family in the stands.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: So you know, he wanted to pitch and grew up
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: wanted to pitch for the Mariners.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Now he's pitching against him, which is still a really
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: cool story. So we always like that. Yeah, but the
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Brave's coming hot, right, I mean, one of the best
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: records in all the baseball. Acuna is out with a
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: hamstring injury.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: So he's on the iluh.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: But they're pitching well, they do miss Sale good, but
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Brave's off to our start. But you know, it's one
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: of these things where the Mariners kind of kind of
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: rise at the occasion setly, you know, they laid an
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: egg against the Royals, they come back and hopefully get
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: the bats going a little bit against against.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: These guys, and maybe we'll see cal this this series.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Who knows, Yeah, who's in the booth by the way,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and I'm not saying this to
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: be critical at all, because I'm just like him. Valley
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: seems to have a story for every occasion. Like there's
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: nothing that can come up that Dave Valley doesn't have
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: a story.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Uh, at one time I wrote Allama once, you know,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: back in double You know, he has something for every occasion?
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Am I right about that?
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Absolutely?
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: I mean he's done it all, seen it all, been
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: a player and broadcaster for what now close to forty years. Yeah,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: so much fun in the booth. But you know it's
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: not about the booths, he and Aaron. It's about you know, me,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: the Aussie out there pre imposed. You're right, that's what
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: you should be focusing.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I agree, I agree.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, well that's the you know, you'll be in
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: the dugout.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: You don't have to tell him that I sided with
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the nineties. You can lie, you can tell them that.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Ashley and I put in two votes for the eighties.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: I think it's a close a vote for the Yeah,
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: I think it's.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: A close call. I do. I love both decades of music,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: but in terms of just quality of the music, I
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: think that's nineties, fun music, eighties. That's that's where I
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: got you.
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: Also, John Stamos was in the Cocomo music video that
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: thank you.
• 19:52

• 19:56
  Speaker 4: I mean somebody else with great hair, he knows great.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, stay Moss and eighties music. You cannot stump me.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: All right, excited, Well.

  Speaker 2: Ay time, all.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Right, Brad Adam joining us right here on Chuck and
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Buck in the morning. So yes, pre and post game
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: with Ryan Rowland Smith Brad Adam. You can't miss it
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: there on Mariner's TV. It's been a while We've been
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: trying to get Brad on the show. He can tell
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: you all he wants, but he's just our schedules have
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: not syncd up. So good stuff though today Good Insight
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: go to a little information. There's a lot to talk
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: about with this team.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Not all of the good, but a lot to talk about.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: A lot to talk about. Even Las Montes go back
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: to he has three home runs in the game yesterday.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: He's got seven already in twenty five games so far
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: this season. Okay, so if you play one hundred forty games,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: twenty five, that's s five thirty five. That's about forty.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: It's about on pace. It like forty home runs if
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I'm doing my math right. Yeah, okay, So what did
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Justin Hollander tell us in the spring? I assure you
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: if he's on the pace to hit forty home runs. No,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I assure you if he hits forty home runs this season,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: some of them will be in a Mariner's uniform. Yeah,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: that's what he told us. Don't think I mind like
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: a steel trap, Hollander. I mean it's out right now.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he's going to keep the pace going. But nonetheless,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: two exciting things happening down there in Arkansas, in Las
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Montes and cad Anderson all right, coming up next here
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: on the radio program Friday Night, Dogs after Dark. Look,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the story is that the crowd was very disappointing the
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: number of people that showed up. And I think we
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: got to talk about the story. Sports Radio ninety three
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: point three kJ r f M at the exact same
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: time that Cindy Lauper was popular, at the exact same
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: time that ninety nine loof Balloons was a song. Yeah,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: so fun, such a fun era. All of that was
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: happening at once. You had hip hop's kind of like starting, yeah,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: and you two at the height of their popularity. I
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: have that's just great, it is great. Yeah, and then
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: you fine young cannibals. It was fun.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: It was fun.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Well, I did say ninety because like, in terms of
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: just quality music, I do think nineties uh kind of
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: topped it. But but that was just a fun decade
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: of music. Yeah, I could certainly do an all eighties
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: night anytime.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Huey Lewis come on now, Yeah, Bucky knows.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, buy the one artist I've mentioned that Buggy does
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: know Huey Lewis. It is Chuck and Ashley with you here.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: It's Chuck and Bucks. Sports Radio ninety three point three KRFM.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: And last week we spent a lot of time kind
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: of building up Dogs after Dark, the Friday event that
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Jedfish wants to become a spectacular, a spectacle every single year,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: and yet the attendance numbers seemed to be down. That
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: seemed to be the story. There were some other things,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I guess Demon Williams didn't look all that great until
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: he made one spectacular play, and there are a few
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: freshmen that popped and things of that nature. A couple
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: running backs that including quaidcar who looked good on Friday.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: But pretty much what everybody was talking about was the
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: lack of attendance. And some were going as far as saying,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: looks like there's two thousand people here. It seems according
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: twenty four to seven Sports that it was ten to
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: fifteen one thousand bought. We were reporting we weren't report it.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: We were having it reported to us yes late last
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: week that they were expecting forty thousand. The goal was
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: forty thousand, and they were hoping they were close, and
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: they were hoping that people with walk ups would on
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: a free event where it's taken well over forty thousand,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and it just did not happen. Now, I'm not going
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: to sit here. I will never as a sports talk
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: shows tell people how to spend their money or their time.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Never will do it. I will never ever do that.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: So I'm not that host that thinks that you're a
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: bad sports fan if you're not attending every single sporting
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: event out there. But this thing is important to Jedfish,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: it's important to these college coaches. This spring game. I'm
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: not sure that it should be. I don't know where
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the data is that suggests that it moves the needle
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: with recruits. I have a hard time believing that a
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: recruit's not going to come to Washington because your spring
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: football game attendance numbers were down.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: I would hope not, I.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't think so. But there's no getting around it. These
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: college coaches want I mean, Kaylin wanted it to be
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: a big deal. Jed wants it to be a big deal.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: They want it to be a big deal, and they'll
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: make it for free, and they'll take it in the evening,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and they'll try to showcase fantastic weather in a great
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: sunset at the greatest setting, all of this sort of thing,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: and yet it never has really taken hold in the
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Jedfish here. I guess they had eighteen and a half,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: no excuse me, twenty four last year and eighteen and
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: a half the year before. So it went up a
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: little bit a year ago, and then it drops in
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: half the very following year. So I have no idea.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I have no doubt. I should say that Jedfish was
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: very frustrated looking in the stands and not seeing nearly
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: as many people as he wanted to see out there.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: And I suppose it is a big deal. Otherwise all
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: these coaches wouldn't be treating.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: It that way, right.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: And I do wonder if because especially in the South,
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: where you see like a full stadium when Clemson has
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: their spring game or whoever you know, insert SEC team here,
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: and I think especially in this day and age where
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: you're trying to compete on every level with other teams,
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: and you want your program to look just as great
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: as another team. Something like that you could consider a
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: knock or think as oh, that's a knock. If we
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: don't get if our spring game is not as big
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: of a deal as you know, LSU's spring game, then
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: how are we going to compete with LSU. I don't
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: think that that's necessarily the case. I don't think that
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: the spring game is as big of a deal. I
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: can understand them wanting it to be a big deal, absolutely.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: I think in the case of saying, you know, well,
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: we've got thirty seven thousand tickets that have been taken
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: well because they were free, right and it was sent out,
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: so people probably claimed the max they could claim, and
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: then it was well, now we'll see if we can
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: go and then people didn't go, yeah.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Well will you Dubbs never going to compete with Clemson
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: now and they're not in this area. I mean, they
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: can compete against them head to head during a football season.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: We've seen that over and over and over and so
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: even without that fan lust for the product where the
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: South cannot wait to see their fighting Tigers, or their
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Clemson Tigers or their role tad I mean and they're
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: going to sell out. I mean, it's just never going
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: to be the same thing in the Pacific Northwest, where
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: you have professional baseball and professional hockey and professional football.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they have in the South. They
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: have college baseball and they have college football, and they
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: will sell out college baseball games on a Friday night,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: and they are going to sell out anything college football related.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: So that's not to me any measure of failure. That's
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: just a byproduct of the climate in the South for
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: college football. So I don't think that anybody has to
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: compare UDUB spring game to anything that's happening in the
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: SEC or to a few select powers in the ACC.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: But what you do have to kind of compare yourself to,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: who you do constantly compare yourself to, is that team
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: down in Eugene who just last week had forty six
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: and a half thousand fans show up. Again, they have
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: less to do there in terms of where they spend
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: their sports dollars. I mean, we're already free event, I
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: get it, but we're already asking a Seattle sports fan
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: to go to a lot more games than what a
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Eugene sports fan is going to. So that's the big
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: game in town. Not surprised that they have more consistent
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: spring numbers there. But I suppose if you're Dan Lanning
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: and you got the opportunities, here's the appetite for Ducks football.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Look at this, those are two spring games, and you
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: put those pictures side by side. Maybe that does work.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe that does work to the benefit anybody's considering Oregon
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and Washington. Then they've already said, you know, if you're
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: just going to where there's the most fans, then you
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: go play college football in the sec.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Right period where they're rabbit about it.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: But obviously you can get a I mean, there were
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: seven Huskies taken and an average year for Husky football
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: slightly above average maybe but maybe just average. There were
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: still seven guys drafted off the Huskies roster and into
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the National Football League. So if you want to be
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: in a program that can compete, and you want to
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: be in a program that gets you ready for the
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: National Football League, which are the two most important things. Obviously,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Oregon's a great location. The way they're going right now,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: and you dub is fine and hopefully trending in the
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: right direction. But that is something that you might consider
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: as a Husky fan, I'd realize it was beautiful. I'm
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: sure you had school activities, your kids or something like that.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you've been driving all over the place and
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: just wanted a Friday to watch the sunset at your house.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of you felt that way. But
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: if you are trying to make wash, if you are
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: in that battle US versus Oregon, that is something that
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: is real. US versus LSU not real, right, not ever,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: not even trying to compete on that level, but you
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: are trying to compete with Oregon, and if they're getting
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: forty six and a half thousand, I can get why
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Jed Fish is frustrated. But also you're talking about a
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: program that hasn't been nearly as successful year in the
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: last couple of years, and a program that has been
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: hounded by stories like their quarterback doesn't want to be
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: here and that coach doesn't want to be here. I mean,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that neither of those things are true,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: but you've constantly been hounded by them for the last
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: couple of years. I can tell you that as a
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Husky fan.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and the quarterback not wanting to be heroes of
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: the quarterback zone doing the head coach not wanting to
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: be here was people assuming, well, he moves around a lot,
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: and he wouldn't. I mean, he hadn't himself. Jedfish didn't
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: do anything to make people think he didn't want to
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: be here. But I mean just to the point of there.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Were a few behind the scenes stories that suggested otherwise.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: Well yeah, but it wasn't like what Demand Williams did,
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: so he went signed with someone else. No, But just
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: speaking of Friday too, I mean, yeah, you had a
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Mariner's game. You've got horrible roadwork on I five, so
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: you could also blame the dot because it's miserable to
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: try to get in and out of the city right now,
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: and it's a Friday night.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: That's hard.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think I would be curious how they'd
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: do if they did it on a Saturday afternoon.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Well that's what they used to do.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it wasn't as trying to make it as
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: big of a deal. I'm saying now, if you try
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: to make it as big of a deal, how would
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: it go. I feel like they'd be better than on
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: a Friday night. It's just hard to go anywhere on
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: a Friday.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe maybe a little bit better, but you know,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: the numbers were drastically lower than the expected.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's sad.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know why it's that important for head coaches
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: to have this, but it is all of them. They
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: want they want that energy. They want to be able
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: to feel like their fan base is plugged in to
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: what they're doing. And maybe right now the fan base
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: is having a hard time getting plugged in to what
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: they're doing. And I think that that's representative by the
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: numbers that were shown on Friday night. But like I said,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's one recruit out there that's basing
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: his decision on whether or not fans show up for
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: the spring game. I really don't.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: I think there's more important things that they judge it on.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: But obviously, when it's that important to all these head coaches,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, that had to have been a frustrating evening
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: for Jed to look into the stands and see it
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: not even half as large a crowd as what he
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: was hoping for.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be disappointing for sure.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: All right, Coming up next, we close out the show
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: with one last thing on Sports Radio Now three point
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: three K A R. F M. All right, final segment
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: here on this Monday edition of Chuck and Buck in
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: the Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three kh A
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: r f M. Then we hand things off to Greg
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Bell and a Christopher kid who will be with you
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: at the top of the hour. And I mean in
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: every way. They will be with you in spirit, It
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: will be with you in friendship and in holy matrimony. Yes,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: they will marry you if you ask nicely.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: I just got to ask.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Greg might have a couple of little paperwork to do.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: There's nothing standing in Chris's way of marrying each and
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: every one of you.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: That's right. He is an open heart and an open mind.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep, that's what we love about him.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: All right, one last thing from us, though, Ashley, what
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: do you got for your one last thing?
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: Well, I think our last segment got a lot of
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: our listeners chiming in, so I thought we'd give them
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: a little Okay, we'll give them some mayor time. I'll
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: read some of their comments about the Spring game and.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Their thoughts more than I know about it.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: Well you never, yeah, I mean possibly, right, So Tahoe
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: Jeff did say this is on YouTube. It took my
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: girlfriend two hours to get from Issaquad to North Seattle
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: on Friday night. Getting to Montlake was a nightmare, got it.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: So traffic definitely a problem at Jim Cornish says, it's
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: hard to get up for a spring football game when
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: your quarterback doesn't want to play here and every other
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: player could leave at the drop of a dime for
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: money elsewhere, especially with other.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: Things to do. And I think.
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: That there's a lot of people that are chiming in.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: It's just it's not a you dub. It's not just
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: you dub. It's not just the Huskies. They're not it's
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: it's college football in general. You are losing people who
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: have been lifelong fans because the loyalty of the players
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: to the program is rare, and so you the one
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: thing that I've talked about a lot that has bonded
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: at least me to college football is the loyalty right
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: growing up as a Husky fan and feeling like these
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: players chose to be here. There's a special there's that bond,
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: there's that loyalty, there's that thing that is different than
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: the pros. And now that loyalty has gone, So it's
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: lost something that made it extra special for me. Well though,
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: but that's for you, Yes, But I'm saying that there
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: are other people.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Sure. Is it affecting you though, for stuff like Are
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: you saying it's affecting people for stuff like this? Like?
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Because obviously ratings are up and money's up and attendance
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: is up across the board in college football, and so
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: it's not affecting people's viewership really of the regular season.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: But anything extra you want to act, you want me
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: to go an extra mile for this product, I'm not
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: gonna do that.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think I unders that the ratings and things,
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: people are watching the games, but I don't know that
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: people are watching the games with the same passion for
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: the individual teams anymore. There's a passion for the product.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: I think they like the excitement of it. But I
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: think if you were I would guess that if you
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: were to ask people like, how has your fandom of
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: a specific team, whether you're a Ducks fan or a
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: Dog span or a Koog span or whatever, has that shifted?
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: And that's where I think the problem.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: Is in something small like this, at least here right
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: where there's other things going on in the South that's
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: all you got going on. But when you're here and
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: there's other things around, is that going to be top
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: on the priority list versus an like a you know,
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: a Mariner's game or a Sounders game.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: I would have to be a really die hard fan
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: to go to a spring game I have. I would
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: have to like eat, breathe, and you know, and drink it.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: I had Husky season tickets since two thousand and nine.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: I have never once gone to a spring game.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, So if that's been rocked at all by nil
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: and transfer portal era, okay, I could see how that
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: plays into it.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: I just think you're losing some of the die hard.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Nature, yes, of college football.
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you've got people who are fans of
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: the product. They like the excitement, and I think you've
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: got people who are trying to hang on to.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Being they don't want to miss watching a game, but
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: the desire to be in the middle of it might
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: not be.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: It might be waning a bit because it does feel
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: like it's just a constant money.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: Grab in a way, and.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: So it's like, so, what has made it so special
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: doesn't seem to.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: Be there anymore.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, at least and that's just my interpretation obviously.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: I know there's a lot of people that would disagree.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but it was free. There wasn't a money
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: grab this time.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: No, but I'm saying the product no, yeah.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but man, I hear you. Like I said before,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: as I did to start the segment, I'm not going
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: to tell anybody how to spend their money or their time. Yeah,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: never will do that. Never will do that. And I
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: didn't go. Yeah, so I didn't go to the game
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: on Spring game on Friday and Nightdea either, and you know,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: so certainly not passing any blame here, that's for sure.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Hope it didn't come across there.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, I don't think you were.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I'm going to close with this. I
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: just saw and I just happened upon it. Had no
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: intention of discussing this. But there was an interview with
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Sylvester Stallone back in nineteen seventy seven when he came
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: out with Rocky Here it might have been seventy nine.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: When did Rocky come out? Anyway, late seventies. He's doing
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: a talk show. And by the way, Sylvester Stallone, I
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: know he typically played like a guy the Gruns you know,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: it doesn't for me for good about it. You know,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't do it. But he is actually a highly intelligent,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: highly intelligent And so he was asked about writing Rocky
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: and what was the motivation behind writing Rocky, and he said,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: I just felt like that at that time, the movie
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: industry was that it's lowest in my lifetime, Like nobody
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: was going to the movies, and everything that was coming
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: out was like anti this, anti that, anti government, anti this,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and I just wanted to write a
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: movie where a character people could root for. Okay, it
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: isn't that refreshing. Hey, I mean, look, I like dark movies.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons I love. I'm a writer and
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I write the way that George R. R. Martin writes
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: that there's like everybody's got a little bit of good
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: in them, everybody's got a little bit of bad in them.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Some people got more of the other. There are some
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: people you do meet and you think they're just pure sunshine.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: And there are some people you meet you are skinvinced
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: they are purely But most of us in the middle,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: there's a little bit of good, a little bit bad
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: in all of us. And you know, and that's that's
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: how the world works, you know. And and so I
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: love the way that Game of Thrones that it grabbed
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: me because George R. R. Martin really leaned into that. Yeah,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: like there wasn't a character who wasn't severely flawed.
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, in the in the entire show, Yeah, at any moment,
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: I mean, based off books, but at any moment, one
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: of those main characters is no more. There's no true Yeah,
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: you can't follow a path.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't really invest in it. But there is
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: something kind of refreshing about what Sylvester Stallone did because
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I started thinking about it, Like, is there any movie
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: that from beginning to win that you just continuously rooted
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: more for this guy to succeed than what Rocky Balboa
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: was at least in the first one. I'm not sure
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: there is another one. Yeah, sure there is another one
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: out there. Or you rooted more for the guy to
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: succeed and he didn't even win the first one.
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: Spoiler alert, Yeah, I haven't seen it.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Well, the spoiler alert has passed.
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: No, I know, I'm just kidding.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: I'm not really about the spoiler, but I'm saying I
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: would like to say, like, yes, I rooted for him
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: so hard, but I I have to take your word
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: for it. Yeah, well, but I believe it. I mean,
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: all I hear about is how much people love Rocky.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Oh amazing, amazing character, amazing story, amazing writing, amazing acting.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: One of the great movies of all time. But I
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: don't know if there's anybody that. So I looked it up.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: I actually, like Google searched it movie heroes you love
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: to root for, and it was the first name. Oh,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: so he might be the movie character that, by the
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: end of the movie we were rooting for more than
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: any other movie character. I also thought about Indiana Jones.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: He was just so likable.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: I did love Indiana Jones that you were like, man,
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: he's just so tough.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he just never stops.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's relentless and a good guy.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah he's got to pull this off. And he just
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: up the you know, beating up Nazis and he made it.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I thought that was pretty interesting. So uh so,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: good good for.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: Sylvest I guess I'll add Rocky to my watch list.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's that's embarrassing that it's not already
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: on there. All right, we'll talk to you tomorrow at
