  Speaker 2: first And this is such a hollowed occasion that we

  Speaker 2: could have found a better guest. I mean, he's an
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: alum of KJR. He is the former voice of the Sounders.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I hear his mythology is so rich with the World Cup.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: And maybe this isn't even true that he was conceived
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: in extra time at a World Cup match and then
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: birthed in extra time at a World Cup match. I
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: feel only nine months later, and it's four years apart,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and yet nine months later he was both conceived and
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: birthed at a World Cup match, and he's seen every
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: match since live and in person. He joins us at
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: our set. The great, the lovable, the affable Stretch is
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: here match Johns, good Morrow are you.

• 2:38
  Speaker 4: I got goosebumps. Historic match here in Seattle, my hometown. Y.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: You just take a light rail down instead of to
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: have it to travel to Korea or France. And it's
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: gonna be special, that's the bottom line. The buzz around
• 2:52

• 2:56
  Speaker 4: obviously people with FIFA, and there's a buzz down here already,

  Speaker 4: I was up there for their match versus Turkey yesterday
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: at T Mobile. They I mean, it was a worldly
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: event across the street and there were a plenty of
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Australians and then they poured into Pioneer Square and they
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: spent some money.

  Speaker 3: We'll just leave it at that. I mean, they're a
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: fun group and they're just.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Stay all money for Falsters. So I'm just gonna pitch
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: a wigwam. That's kind of what I expected to see
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: here this morning. But let's really paint the picture for
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: just how steeped you are in world Cup tradition. Why
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you are the perfect person for me to have here
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: this morning for the next four hours.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: How many of these have you attended?
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: You know today is going to be my seventieth World

• 4:04
  Speaker 4: the final Brazil Italy. Everyone knows it was pretty boring.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Most people know soccer people know it was pretty boring.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: They went to PK's. Anyways, we were at.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: The final, knew I have it well documented exactly, of course.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: And on the way home, I'm sound asleep on the
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: plane and he elbows me and just says, why don't
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: we do this every four years?
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: And I went okay.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: And so we just planned on going to France, you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: in ninety eight, and we've been going ever since. So
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: it's just an unbelievable way to travel the world, unbelievable
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: way to hang out with your brother who I'm very
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: very close with. So, you know, France, Korea, Germany, South Africa, Brazil, Russia, Qatar, USA.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: So this is my ninth and it's just something that
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: and I mean the sincere, like, I'm so happy that
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: others get to experience it. I was with like ten
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: friends on Monday for Belgium, Belgium Egypt, and it was
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: our first one and there were just you could just see.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: It like, oh my god.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: I mean we weren't cheering for either Belgium or Egypt,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: but there were sixty six thousand people in there and
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: there was a buzz and you just wanted to see
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: a good product and there was. There were great goals
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: and great chances and it's just it's something. It's something
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: to behold, right, you got to experience it. I've told
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: so many people if you don't have a ticket, which
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: were kind of expensive today, if you don't have a ticket,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: come downtown check it out. Yeah, walk down the waterfront,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: just just see what it's all about. And I'm very
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: lucky we started this little tradition. I was just writing
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: up my experiences of US matches I've seen all over
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: the place, and this is right up there. This might
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: be the second. I mean, US versus Korea in Korea
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: at the time was unmatched. Landon Donovan said it was
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: the most the atmosphere was mind blowing. It was for him,
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: it was number one, and it was it was crazy.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: But this has got to kind of overtake it, right, I.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Mean, you've already got goosebumps. I mean we're yeah, six
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: hours away.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I did go to sleep. Yeah, and you know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I'd like to thank the hotel for open up the door.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Maybe that's a different story for a different time. I
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: didn't mean to wake up the security guy. But well,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: we'll just leave it at that. But yeah, today's historic.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Today is a thing with now non football, you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: non soccer fans might argue, but we haven't hosted a
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: super Bowl, we haven't hosted you know, Olympics, we haven't
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: hosted something. This is a major event. It's buzzing already
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: and it's just six hours away.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I'm just so psyched and checked up for it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I got to give you so much credit on this
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: because I'll tell you, I mean, I have an older
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: brother and we have always planned to start some tradition
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: like this, and here we are. I'm fifty five now,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: he's sixty two, and we haven't even started yet, like well,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: and so for you to have gotten it started so
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: long ago and to kept with it. And then I
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: did have high school buddies and we started a tradition
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: as soon as we graduated from high school, because.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Of course we got we're going to stay best friends.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: You know, we're cutting each other's hands and blood brothers,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: like we're a pack.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, of course we're in high School's the end, all
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: be all.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Right, And so we make a trip to Kansas City.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: We get in the car.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: We're like, we're gonna go see a ballpark every year
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: so that we remain best friends.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Three years, last three years, and lasted one year.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: That was the only year.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Our only memory is blasting two live crew out to
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Kansas City from Saint Louis to watch the Roys. I
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: don't remember anything about the game. I don't even sure
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: if I remember anything about the trip.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Did you go to the game? We didn't go to
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: We did go to the game, and I wasn't even
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: a drinker back then, so I didn't even have that
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: as an excuse.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: So, man, good for you to keep it going. What
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a great tradition, because you're right, you got to see
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the world.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Not only do you get to watch a sporting event
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: that you love and the biggest sporting event in the world,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: but you got set.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: You got international travel out of it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: I'm jealous exactly, yeah, and we got addicted immediately. That
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: was it was.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: We simplified it. We we didn't we still don't go
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: anywhere with tickets, which kind of freaks out friends and
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: that kind of condenses who can handle that in their brain.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: We went to France.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: We booked the first night at a hotel in Paris
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: and the last night and we didn't book anything else
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: that we had no tickets to any matches and so
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: that that isn't for everybody, I get it. Yeah, but
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: we went to eleven matches in twelve days and we
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: saw the top teams in the world and and that
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: was it. That was the the addiction was solved and
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: we were going to do it. And it's worked out
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: ever since. You do have tickets today, right, We do
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: have tickets, but I fell into them on Monday. We
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: weren't going to go. The price doubled after Australia beat Turkey,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: and then someone got a hold of me and said, uh, do.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: You have tickets network?
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: You know, the soccer network, And I said I don't,
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: but I'm not paying, you know, I got well, I
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: got a fence to build in the backyard, you know,
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I want to build a deck you know, prices get
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: to the point where it's like I could put that
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: into these you know, that's my price is. But yeah,
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you I got in for fifteen hundred bucks
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: today and those are category ones. If you're familiar, there's
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: category one, twos and threes and fifteen hundred on Monday was.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I hate to.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Say a reasonable price, but we all justify what we love, right, Yeah,
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, so fifteen hundred and my brother memory, yeah,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: and my brother's doing very well, and I'm like, come on,
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: we don't have to pay for airfare, we don't have
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: to pay for hotel, we don't have to pay for meals.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: It's three and a half bucks on the light rel
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: come off. And he's like, oh, okay, he's a smarter brother.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Like I said, So yeah, we started this and it's
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: just but we also go like in France, we go
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: to the Louver, we go to the Eiffel Tower. In Germany,
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: we're gonna we're seeing the old government buildings. In Korea,
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: we're in Inshawn at MacArthur's Park. And it's not just
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: it's going to see history all over the world. And
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: so it's incredible, it's awesome and some friends that know
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: me are like, no, you weren't. No, you didn't. You
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: didn't do any of that. You didn't, dude, you didn't
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: do any of that. You sat and watch soccer and
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: drank beer every day.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: There was that. But it's a great way to discover
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: the world and get addicted to world travel.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: That's remarkable.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm you know, I'm kind of proud of you,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: and I'm also kind of jealous of you.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Proud of me. Yeah, And so that's really funny.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: We're going to tap into all of that history and
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: knowledge here. There are four hours together. I'm not going
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: to get into the game. I mean, heck, I mean
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I heard Ryan Roland Smith doesn't even have tickets and
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I think he's kind of a hero from Australia and
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: he doesn't even have tickets to it.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: But he might have been lying on the air handsome liar.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: But because they were camped, he got a pair of
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: free he probably did want to see.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Probably, you're probably right, But I am going to try
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: to soak up the experience here today. I am going
• 10:49

• 12:35
  Speaker 2: going to specifically say where my car is right now.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: We're going to try to leave that out of the conversation.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: And I hope said person is not like I'm gonna

  Speaker 3: Uh say no, okay, I'll say no, they don't own

• 12:52
  Speaker 2: ever had in my entire life before I got in
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: here today.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: And as soon as as.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Said person and that took my vehicle, I don't know
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: where he took it. Uh, found out that I am
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: with kJ R and I'm a sports guy. He then
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: tried to sell me that, you know, I was going
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: to be a Seattle Supersonic. And then because I'm a
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: big basketball player, I played at Mount Sigh and then.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: The team moved to Oklahoma City and it ruined my.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Actually, we had the same we had similar experiences with
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: two different people in this area.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Let's just say in this area.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: But after you drop me off and Chuck says, I
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: can't wait to tell you this, And I said, I
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: can't wait to tell you my experience.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, and I looked down and he starts showing me documentation.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: He's like, got a resume for when the Sonics come back.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: He's got a resume filled out to apply for a job.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: To be a Sonic.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Wow. Wow.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: And he had like a diploma like a certain get
• 14:00

• 15:01
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I have that key fob. And

  Speaker 4: this person's just staring at his phone while he's talking
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: to me, and I'm no problem, everybody.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: That's the graveyard.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: And years ago I worked the graveyard, and now I'm
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: in a mellower state of mind in my life right now.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: And I said oh, yeah, who maybe I talked to
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: you know, I throw out the just like I'm kissing

  Speaker 4: I come in? I'm with the radio station. Yeah, you
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: got to talk to security. And I said, you know what,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: I think I just did. I'm not sure, but I'm
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: pretty sure he said security three times anywhere. Yeah, I
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: didn't click because he's at the end of his shift.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: And so she comes over and kind of, you know,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: with the hammer, said can you unlock the door? And
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: I was like, uh, okay, it wasn't me. I didn't
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: get you in trouble because I was thinking. He finally
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: kind of looked up at me, like did you What
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: do you say to her? And I was thinking, Ah,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: you throw me under the bus so that he has
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: to get on his hands and knees and unlock the store.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: We are in case. We are very safe right now.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you know this. We are safe,
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: but we're very safe. My car is probably halfway. No,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: your your car's gone. Your car's on one of these
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: cargo ships out here already.
• 16:15

• 16:17
  Speaker 2: a Ferrari.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sopranos is being chopped up right now. But anyways,
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: he got on his hands and knees and gave me
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: a glare and said there you go, and then locked
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: it up behind me, and uh it, Wow. It was bizarre,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: bizarre because again I'm two different people. I was doing
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: the Eddie Haskell. I'm really good with the Eddie Haskell
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: for the first ten minutes of a lot of relationships,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: and so anyways, but here we are, we got Wi
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Fi going, and we got a World Cup match here.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Right, Who cares? I got a one?
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, I'll give you right.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: You came in and said I just had the most
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: bizarre and I said, oh my god, which guy? And
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: they were two separate people people, which is really funny
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: at six am. Yeah, like, how does that happened?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: No?
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Five forty yeah, anyways.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I'm like, hey, well then we make
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: the exchange of the key and the ticket and everything else,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: and I'm walking away. He goes no, seriously, like I'm
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: really glad that they're gonna be and it starts the
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Sonics conversation.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: And then throws in when you can get your car
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: back and you're trying to tell him a pitch start
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: to a game and you're like, no, I'm talking like
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: nine ten pm. And that didn't work on his number line,
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: which was hysterical. But again, everybody's end of graveyard shift
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: treats him different. Everybody's different that way.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: All right, well, we're just getting underwear. We're gonna have
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: four fun hours here together with Stretch as we take
• 17:38

• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Christian hoolistic status is in doubt now, don't misread that.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're saying it's doubtful because that would
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: be dire. Usually on an NFL report back in the
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: day when they did doubtful odds are they weren't playing?
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: The statement is that his status is in doubt. We
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: will talk about that with Stretch later this hour and
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: probably several times before our four hours are up. Yesterday,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Mexico won over Korea, so they have advanced in their
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: pool play. One to nothing was the final score. Seemed
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: to be the highlight of yesterday's World Cup Action US
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Open Day number two Windom Clark. Everybody was struggling with
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: the conditions yesterday except for Windom Clark. The hotel went
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: six under on the day and finished the day four
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: strokes ahead of anyone else in the field. Right now
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: he has a three stroke lead over Matt Fitzpatrick. And
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: is that Dustin Johnson back on the leader board?
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Wow?
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: How about that? So three strokes up on them. Wyndham
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Clark has not teed off for today Day number two
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: at Shinnacock. We will have updates for you at eight
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: twenty and also nine to twenty live from New York.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Knick's parade wrapped up yesterday. Quite the event. It sounds
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: like as New York celebrated its basketball team. I mean,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: it is the one team that they all root for
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: in New York City, so quite the spectacle yesterday. The
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: NBA Draft is in four days. They don't monkey around
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: in the National Basketball Association with their calendar.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Season's over.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Let's have the draft and let's have a vacation. College
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: World Series. North Carolina taking on Oklahoma for the title.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Best two out of three this weekend will claim college.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Baseball's biggest prize.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: The Mariners took two out of three from Baltimore. Brian
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: wu dominated Shane Boss the old wu bos matchup.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Remember your first pair of wu Bas that you had?
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: No, I do not.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: You know he had to have some Seahawks wu Bas
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: you know, did you not?
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: No, I'm a little older than you, but I hear you.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Thanks for letting me play there. I don't even know
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: what you're speaking out to be honest with you.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Oh that might have been Zubas.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: That's my bad.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is completely different. Three nothing the final score.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that with Mariners morning after here at
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: six thirty, and we will continue our Seahawks one series.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I know we're really focusing on football today, but that
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean we don't talk football every single show. Rob
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: rang will be joining us today at nine o'clock. He
• 20:39

• 20:49
  Speaker 2: to pass by that we'll grab and we'll throw on
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: the show. We don't know what to expect over the
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: course of the next four hours, so expect the unexpected.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Matt Stretch Johnson is here. My name is Chuck. I'll
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: special event here at Jimmy's on First today as we
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: get your set for noon US VERSUS Australia. But coming
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: up next we'll talk about our baseball team, Mariners Morning
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: After Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, and I
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: know you play it a lot.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Oh and I'm a big listener at six thirty of
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: the morning, right, huge, huge listener.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: You'll know, you'll you'll now know that it's synonymous with victory.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: It was fun yesterday. It was fun.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: The atmosphere, yeah, pack stadium gorgeous. We are having beautiful
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: weather and it's perfect baseball weather, let alone soccer weather.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, it was a fun day at the
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: at Team Mobile yesterday at the old Ballyard.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Sir, well, good morning.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Matt Johnson is here with us here today as we're
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: going to lean on him for a lot of World
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Cup conversation today. But he's a huge Seattle sports fan,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: was at the Mariners game yesterday, so he'll fit right
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: in with Mariners morning after here in a little bit.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I do want to say though, that I am planning
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: to buy some US merch I'm down here, but I'm
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: afraid I'll spend more on a hat than you spent
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: on your ticket.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: I think that's possible. Now.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: You have plenty of options down here on Oxyl, all right.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of people that have just showed up
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: in their business with their business license in the last
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: couple of weeks, so you have a few stands now.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: I would look if it it's a hat, I would
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: definitely look to see if the hat.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Has been worn before it kicked down.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Tip.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: That might be something you know when you're buying the popcorn,
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: if it's sealed.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Things like that from these vendors.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I'm torn between a good US hat or broach. I
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: get a good broke I can't help along the street.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's gonna be the theme of today.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: You're gonna throw me something up. Yeah, I can't help
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: you out whatever you call those pants. You're supposed to
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: be an expert in the pants in the first Yeah, yeah,
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: never heard of the guy.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's get into it. Mariner's Morning After.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: It's our Mariner's post game show. We just do it
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the Morning After. A highlight, a SoundBite preview of what's
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: going on tonight. Mariner's trying to win two out of
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: three against the Baltimore Orioles. As Stretch pointed out, quite
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: the international atmosphere yesterday for a Thursday baseball game. A
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: lot of Aussie's were in the crowd, a lot of
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: people from all over that are here for the World Cup.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: We're in the crowd to watch some professional baseball. And
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Brian Wu certainly acted professionally more on him in a moment.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: He didn't need it really much run support at all,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: and what he got he got all. In the first inning,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Colt Emerson helping out.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: Get hard through the right side of the basin camp zone
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: is in the young speeding towards the plate. He signs
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: he's sick. It's three nothing, Mariners. Paul Emerson drives in
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: two more.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Aaron Goldsmith on the call Mariners TV. That built a
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: three to nothing lead for the Mariners in the very
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: first inning off of Shane Bosse, and then Brian Wu
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: took over from there. Seven pitch three, it's allowed nine strikeouts,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: one walk. He got into a little trouble as he
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: was extended into the eighth inning, but Bizardo was the
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: recipe for solving that sticky situation, and so the Mariners
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: go on to a three nothing win. Here is Brian
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Wu after the game.
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was pretty much I mean you learn obviously
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: from the game, but it was I'd say almost one
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: hundred percent of what I wanted to do. What I
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: you know, adjustments that I wanted to make. Yeah, I
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: just feel like I was, you know, I got into
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: a lot of predictable you know, falling behind. I go
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: to a lot of predictable accounts just where conditions were
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: different and have a great feel for the ball in Baltimore,
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: but you know, just fell into a lot of hitters counts,
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: and I just wanted to make sure to came out
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: and you know, got ahead. It was in the spots
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: that I wanted to be in and then you know,
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: do what I wanted to do from there. So just
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: doing a better job of the controllables, its a communications
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: is just.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: A matter of execution to exactly there.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think just using all five pitches was just
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: the main message that I wanted to bring the woody
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: into garv and you know, don't box yourself into you
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: can only throw this to this guy or whatever it is.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: You know, I feel like I'm in a good enough
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: spot with pretty much all five where you know, I
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: don't care who it is or what what count or
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: what you know, situation like I want to, I want to,
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: I want to use all five. So yeah, I just
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: did a better job of that today.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Brian wu after the game yesterday, And there's certainly a
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: storyline here about how much better he is at home
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: than on the road in twenty twenty six, But the
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: real headline from this stretches. That's the difference, and this
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: is sports. I mean, this is if it's not sports
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: in a nutshell, the difference in two different outings where
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: he's saying, after his last outing, I suck and I'm
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: tired of sucking. That was pretty much the quote I'm paraphrasing,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: but it's not too far off from the actual quote.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: And then this one where he gets some shoes from
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: a little girl who's gone through, Charlotte Cooper, who's gone
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: through obviously some terrible health issues. That put life, he said,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: into perspective for him. He wore the shoes from Charlotte
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: on the field yesterday and then throws a two hit
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: shutout and says afterwards it might have been the most
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: complete I've ever felt as a baseball.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Wow, goosebump Friday. Yeah, if you continue to give me goosebumps.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: I looked at sixteen of twenty five first pitch strikes.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: It felt more.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: It felt like he was ahead of every batter, and
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: maybe it just felt that way. Boz got beat up
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: in the first two innings. Even in the second inning.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Mariners were roping the ball and unfortunate to only get
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: three out of those first two innings, but Wu had
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: him off balance. He wasn't just throwing a fastball. He
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: was throwing a slider. So many times I looked up
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: and it was one and two all the time, all
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: the time. And the trouble he got into. Bizarro got
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: it out and got him out of that inning. But
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: he was overpowering. I mean it was nine strikeouts is significant,
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: and actually it was eighteen eighteen combined k's during the game.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: So not only that, but there was a rhythm, there
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: was a there was it was a quick ballgame, and
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: I'm sure he felt that when he's in that rhythm,
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: get the ball go, he's done. I mean it felt
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: like the half innings for Baltimore lasted nine minutes match.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, it just flew and it was fun to watch.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: He was in complete control and the only time he
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: wasn't he got pulled and Bizartro got out of it
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: some good defensive play, but it was very entertaining to
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: see him master another major league team.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: He's so fun to watch.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: He's on I mean, he just challenges and for whatever reason,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: hitters can't catch up with that fastball the top rail.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah intense, dude, Yeah, oh for sure.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: And he was on his game yesterday with a little help.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: It sounds like in his heart. Three nothing the final score.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: So the M's improved to thirty nine and thirty seven
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: on the season. See if they can take this momentum,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: winning two out of three against Baltimore into tonight series
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: against the Boston Red Sox, which we'll start at seven
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: o'clock across the street here at T Mobile, well after
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: the soccer match has concluded, And so they're going piggyback tonight.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Even with Bryce Miller. This is obviously our first time
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: having you on the show. What have you thought of
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: the piggy.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Boy, Well, one thing from the desk of Captain obvious
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: before we move on. Yesterday, watching Young Cole Young with
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: a double and then followed up with Emerson.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: With a two out RBI.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: I was just going home buying all these guys baseball cards, right,
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: A long time again, it was an awesome feeling to
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: have those guys and JP looking really good on third
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: base and getting a win without Julio Randio, Rose Arena
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: and and Cal Rawley with four strikeouts.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Right, So it was a cool win. The piggyback thing,
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: I get it. I get it.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: In theory, we have a rich I mean, obviously, a
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: surplus of starting pitching is something nobody else in the
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: Major League has, right, and you're not gonna trade castile
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: with that salary. I think they learned from the lack
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: of communication with the pitching staff early on. I mean
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: that was the big the massive eye opener, like you
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: didn't have meetings with every single one of those pitchers.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: You didn't, so they fixed it.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: You're down a man in the bullpen and there's and
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: and injuries are still stacking up. You gotta do it.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: This is what they're this is what they're doing. And
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: you know, if it works as it did the one
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: time flawlessly five and four, it's fantastic. But when when
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: it goes awry, yeah, and one.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Of the guys it really has not gone awry.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I mean the three times they've done it, Castile and
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Miller have pitched well in all three. The only time
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: it went awry because he had a one nothing lead
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: and Castile went out for the ninth and everybody felt
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: uncomfortable that.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: No offense says what I'm talking about.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then and then Munios couldn't protect with runners
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: in scoring position, and that was a mistake. And you
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: learn from that mistake, yeah, because you know, and so
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: since that time, it's it's actually been very effective. The
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: only problem I have tonight is Bryce Miller looks like
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: our best pitcher right now, and he's the guy you're
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: gonna piggyback tonight in this game.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: So why put a pitch limit on him? Why put
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: an inning limit on him? Why not be flexible?
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: As cards in baseball happen every game, you don't know
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: what's going to happen. That's why we love the game, right,
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: And so why don't you go through that flexibility? Now,
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: who's gonna be mad? The second guy? The guy behind him?
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: My answer is boo?
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Who? Yeah, boo who? I mean, if he's going that strong,
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: let him go seven and the next guy gets two?
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I'm with you?
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Or you give a can you go a forty eight
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: hour window with the writer and the piggyback scenario? Can
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: he if Miller's going tonight, could Castillo not piggyback tomorrow?
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: You know, well, pitchers need communication, right, they need to
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: be set.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: They need why they do it, and this is why
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: they are committing to it's a piggyback night. And that's
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: why they don't change their plan because we have Castillo
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: prepared to pitch for three to four innings tonight, and
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: so we're gonna We're gonna let.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Him do it.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: Yes, and I understand they need to warm up and
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: they have their they have their system, I mean literal
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: systems of warming up. But I think you still have
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: to be flexible. If the guy's rolling, then you know
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: you you have a decent feeling that castile can go
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: three and and then you throw everything out the door.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: If there's a decent lead, Yeah, if there's a decent lead,
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: But if there isn't if it's one nothing, If it's
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: one nothing and you're really throwing a two three hitter,
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't understand pulling a guy.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: And the bullpen is perfectly rested right now, which is
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: something we'll get into a little bit later on. It
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: was not the case a week ago. All right, coming
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: up next, Well, we are here. I mean, Stretch is
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: dressed the way he's dressed for a reason. So I'm
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: going to ask him about Christian poolisic And I know
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: he doesn't have any insight information as to whether or
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: not he's going to play tonight. But how is that
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: going to affect Team USA? He's got an opinion on that,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I can guarantee it. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: What a setting, and we have decided to throw ourselves
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: as a station right into the mix. We're down here
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: at Jimmy's on. First, we got all sorts of celebrity guests.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Coming our way starting at seven o'clock.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Here today, and we've got a celebrity co hosting with
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: me here from Jimmy's as we get ready for Australia
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: US at noon here in town. What a day we're
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: going to have here in Seattle. Matt Stretch Johnson our
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: special co host here today. I've never had anyone bring
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: these scratchers tickets to a show in the morning, so
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: thank you. And then of course we lost. I went
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: over too, so thanks.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: A lot of scratchers trail mix cough drops. And if
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: you call me celebrity one more time, I walk out.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: I mean because that bar is really low. So I
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: don't know. I don't know about that.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Powell, Hey, hey, come on now, well I gotta ask you,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: as you wear your team USA Soccer jersey for today's match,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: how are you feeling about our best player may not
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: play in this game.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: It's a concern, obviously, But the group stage is three matches, right,
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, of course you want three points here to
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: really pretty much solidify moving on into the round of
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: thirty two. But you haven't even used a guy like
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: named Brendan Aronson, he can play left wing. He can
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: be over there if you need to just be the
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: cautious take. He took a big knock. This is politic.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: He took a big knock on his calf. He got
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: kicked in his calf on that first match versus Paraguay.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: And so it's how is it tightened up? Has it
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: tightened up, has it loosened up? How has treatment gone
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: for him? We don't know. We'll know here in a
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: few hours. But you do have another match coming up
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: against Turkey that if today you only get one point,
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: you need another next week in LA. So they do
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: have a depth on that side. Again, Brendan Aronson. If
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: EPL fans English fans who watch Leads, I mean a
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: very very good player right up there with Polistic and
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Tyler Adams. I think Tyler Adams is as valuable and
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: as anybody else. But you wait and see. You don't
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: have to force it. It's not a must win today.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: There's another match and so we wait and see. But boy,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: he looked good. I mean he looked good. He looked
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: dominant against Paraguay.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Forgive my ignorance, but you're gonna get a lot of
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: this today unfortunately. But like in basketball, Michael Jordan goes
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: down and the analysis is, well, you can't replace Michael Jordan.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Everybody else just got to step up.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Soccer, I mean, same kind of thing from this standpoint,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Like you have a field, both all athletes play offense
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: and defense. So is it will it be a situation
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: where you know everybody else has just got to step
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: up a little bit, or will they have like a
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: new designated Polisic that you're going to take that responsibility
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: do the same stuff.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: My thoughts on Team USA is it's a collective. We
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: don't have superstars. Polistic as much as we love him,
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: is playing in Italy, he's not a superstar per se.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: So it's a collective. How did we defend?
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: We defended stoutly last match versus Paraguay, and that is
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: going to be It's going to be a collective.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: How is the middle? How is the attack? Obviously our
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: attack was outstanding. That own goal opened up everything. I
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: think it was shocking for Paraguay to give up that
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: own goal in the seventh minute, but then we moved
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: on and we pounded them. I mean the goal right
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: before halftime broke or broke their hearts with Polistic is out,
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: it's still a collective. Whoever is in there on that
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: left flank, on that left wing has got to defend,
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: has got to come back, has got to attack. And
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: it's a moving It's a very much a team sport.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: So with the with Team USA for their success, they've
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: got to be collectively all playing at a very high level.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: You take one guy out, yes it is a miss,
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: but it's not the end of the world.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Matt Johnson stretch with US here today, co hosting for
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: four hours, and uh, yeah, I consider you a celebrity,
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: but you're not.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: His biggest celebrity is the next guy we're gonna have.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: That's right, he's a Jeopardy champion. For goodness sake, What
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: have you ever done?
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: Not even close. I didn't qualify. They'd laughed at me
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: when I threw in my little thing on online.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: But yeah, on Scratcher's card, yes, Levine would have won
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: at least one of those, at least all right, we're
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: gonna talk to Aaron Levine next. Sports Radio ninety three
