- 1:48Speaker 1: Brought to you by Forelli's Pizza, on your home for
- 1:51Speaker 1: the 12th man in the NFL.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Sports Radio 93.3, KJR-FM. All right, here we go, a
- 1:58Speaker 2: Friday edition of the show and are checking in right
- 2:00Speaker 2: now with our good friend Rob Rang from FoxSports.com, Triple
- 2:05Speaker 2: Option Podcast with our buddy Corbin and Robert Turbin. He's
- 2:08Speaker 2: a BC Lions guy. Hey, first of all, congratulations. That
- 2:10Speaker 2: was a big win for BC last week, if I'm
- 2:12Speaker 2: not mistaken, right, in the CFL?
- 2:15Speaker 4: Yeah, no question about it.
- 2:16Speaker 5: A big win over the Saskatchewan Rough Riders, a team
- 2:18Speaker 5: that knocked us out of the playoffs last year. It's
- 2:20Speaker 5: good to get at least a little bit of regular
- 2:22Speaker 5: season revenge against one of our arch rivals.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Let's go orange and black up there north of the
- 2:26Speaker 2: border in Vancouver. All right. Let's get to some games
- 2:29Speaker 2: this weekend. We're going to start tonight. A Friday night affair.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech. Neither team is ranked, Rob. It's
- 2:37Speaker 2: a 4 o'clock game, I say tonight here in a
- 2:39Speaker 2: couple hours. 4 o'clock game on ESPN. But let's get
- 2:44Speaker 2: to this game right now because, Rob, two teams that
- 2:47Speaker 2: are 4-0. Virginia Tech, man, they were... It feels like
- 2:51Speaker 2: it's been forever since they were good, but for all
- 2:53Speaker 2: those years under Frank Beamer, good, but So two 4-0 teams,
- 2:56Speaker 2: two teams unbeaten in the ACC. Let's talk about who
- 2:58Speaker 2: we're watching. We'll start with Pittsburgh. I think they've got
- 3:00Speaker 2: a pretty good right tackle we want to talk about.
- 3:04Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that's the thing, Ian.
- 3:06Speaker 5: These are two 4-0 teams, so obviously that's intriguing in
- 3:10Speaker 5: and of itself. This also is a game that has
- 3:13Speaker 5: a really intriguing kind of one-on-one or maybe even two-on-one
- 3:17Speaker 5: type of a battle here that I think the Seahawks
- 3:19Speaker 5: fans are going to want to pay attention to. We've
- 3:21Speaker 5: been talking about edge rushers so much. as well as
- 3:24Speaker 5: occasionally about right tackles. And this game happens to Pitt,
- 3:28Speaker 5: a couple of very effective edge rushers for Virginia Tech
- 3:32Speaker 5: against Pitt's right tackle, Ryan Baer, a player that I'm
- 3:36Speaker 5: intrigued by. He doesn't have the lightest of feet. He's 6'7,
- 3:40Speaker 5: 320 pounds. Not a lot of those guys do have
- 3:43Speaker 5: light feet, but he hasn't allowed a sack so far
- 3:45Speaker 5: this season.
- 3:46Speaker 4: He is an effective run blocker.
- 3:48Speaker 5: So number 70 for Pitt, I think, is going to
- 3:51Speaker 5: be really key in this game if the Panthers are
- 3:55Speaker 5: going to be able to continue throwing the.
- 3:57Speaker 4: Ball as effectively as they have.
- 3:59Speaker 5: They've got a sophomore quarterback, Mason Hunchell, 6'2, 215 pounds.
- 4:05Speaker 5: He doesn't have the greatest of size. But he's been
- 4:07Speaker 5: really effective so far. 13 touchdowns, only one interception in
- 4:12Speaker 5: the history of the Pitt Panthers programming. There's never been
- 4:15Speaker 5: a true sophomore ever be named a team captain. So
- 4:19Speaker 5: the head coach, Pat Narduzzi, certainly believes in him. And
- 4:22Speaker 5: I've just been very impressed with his poise. But again,
- 4:25Speaker 5: the Virginia Tech Hokies have two edge rushers. Number 34,
- 4:30Speaker 5: Cortez Harris, who has five sacks so far.
- 4:33Speaker 4: And he followed....
- 4:35Speaker 5: James Franklin from Penn State to Virginia Tech, as well
- 4:39Speaker 5: as Asen Stevens, number 42. Stevens is the bigger of
- 4:43Speaker 5: the players, 6'5, 264 pounds. He's got four and a
- 4:46Speaker 5: half sacks and two fumbles forced. The aforementioned Cortez Harris
- 4:51Speaker 5: has five sacks himself. And they've got 15 sacks over
- 4:55Speaker 5: the first four games of this season. So, again, the
- 4:59Speaker 5: Hokies can get after it. That's one of the things
- 5:00Speaker 5: James Franklin was known for. I really think that this
- 5:03Speaker 5: is a rare Friday night game against two unranked teams
- 5:06Speaker 5: that Seahawks fans absolutely should be paying attention to.
- 5:09Speaker 2: So we'll take a look at that. Number 34 and 42,
- 5:12Speaker 2: the two edge rushes for Virginia Tech against that right tackle.
- 5:15Speaker 2: And then the sophomore quarterback, Mason Heitschel, for Pittsburgh. Should
- 5:19Speaker 2: be a good game. Again, both undefeated, both unranked. We'll
- 5:22Speaker 2: see what happens. Let's jump ahead to Saturday. Rob Rang,
- 5:25Speaker 2: brought to you by Forelli's Pizza, forellispizza.com. Bama at Mississippi State.
- 5:31Speaker 2: And this is, boy, this is a fun game because
- 5:33Speaker 2: we've got two, I'm just going to start here. I
- 5:36Speaker 2: don't want to bury the lead. Let's just start with
- 5:38Speaker 2: the two young quarterbacks. Let's just go down that road.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Keelan Russell for Alabama and Kamario Taylor for Mississippi State.
- 5:46Speaker 5: Yeah, they're just two intriguing guys. As you mentioned, they're
- 5:51Speaker 5: both younger players. Keelan Russell is a sophomore, as is
- 5:55Speaker 5: Kamario Taylor, a sophomore quarterback for Mississippi State. So we're
- 5:59Speaker 5: not talking about these guys for the upcoming 2027 draft
- 6:01Speaker 5: that is supposed to be so rich a quarterback.
- 6:05Speaker 4: But they do have intriguing talent.
- 6:07Speaker 5: It's funny because we all know that Kalen DeBoer, of course,
- 6:11Speaker 5: is now the head coach at Alabama State. And it's
- 6:14Speaker 5: interesting because Keelan Russell, I mean, just his face, he
- 6:18Speaker 5: actually looks a lot like Michael Penix. He's got a
- 6:21Speaker 5: frame kind of similar to him as well. Six foot three,
- 6:24Speaker 5: 194 pounds, a little bit slim, but he is a
- 6:27Speaker 5: dynamic dual threat kind of a guy. He's got an
- 6:29Speaker 5: eight to two touchdown interception ratio. And he really is
- 6:32Speaker 5: relying on his wide receiver, Ryan Coleman Williams, a six
- 6:37Speaker 5: foot 175 pounder Ian, who reminds me so much of
- 6:41Speaker 5: Devante Smith. Of course, a former Heisman Trophy winner, now
- 6:44Speaker 5: a star wide receiver at the Philadelphia Eagles. And Coleman Williams,
- 6:49Speaker 5: to me, is really one of the key here. It's
- 6:51Speaker 5: similar to what we just talked about at the Pitt-Virginia
- 6:54Speaker 5: Tech game tonight, you know, where it's kind of a
- 6:56Speaker 5: one-on-one battle, that right tackle, Ryan Vera, going up against
- 6:59Speaker 5: those edge rushers. Ryan Coleman Williams, number one, the wide receiver,
- 7:03Speaker 5: is going to be going up against a cornerback for
- 7:05Speaker 5: Mississippi State, number one, Kelly Jones. And we've talked briefly
- 7:09Speaker 5: about him in the past, but Ian, he is a
- 7:12Speaker 5: John Schneider type of the corner. He's six foot four.
- 7:14Speaker 5: He's 205 pounds. He only allowed 11 receptions of last year.
- 7:20Speaker 5: He's slipping a little bit, but he's only got five.
- 7:22Speaker 5: He's allowed five receptions so far this season, you know,
- 7:25Speaker 5: I mean, four games, that's not too bad, but none
- 7:27Speaker 5: of them have been touchdowns. And I just wonder at
- 7:30Speaker 5: six foot four, does he have the change of direction?
- 7:34Speaker 5: to be able to handle a really slithery kind of
- 7:36Speaker 5: a route runner like Ryan Coleman Williams. So to me,
- 7:39Speaker 5: I think that this is the most interesting one-on-one matchup
- 7:44Speaker 5: of the entire slate of college football games this weekend.
- 7:47Speaker 5: And the fact that it happens Saturday morning early, as
- 7:50Speaker 5: you mentioned, 9 a.m. on ABC, I think that there
- 7:53Speaker 5: might be some Seahawks fans who are sleeping through this one,
- 7:55Speaker 5: but it's one definitely to watch.
- 7:57Speaker 2: We have not talked about, and it's... It feels like
- 8:02Speaker 2: for a while. We haven't talked about Ryan Coleman Williams,
- 8:05Speaker 2: the receiver for, and by the way, I may have misspoke.
- 8:07Speaker 2: I might have said both those quarterbacks were freshmen. You
- 8:08Speaker 2: mentioned it. They're both sophomores. I don't know if I've,
- 8:12Speaker 2: although nowadays it's not even that. It's first year, second year,
- 8:14Speaker 2: third year, fourth year, or I guess if you're a
- 8:17Speaker 2: Hatchet brother, it's seventh year, but that's fine. It's true.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Ryan Coleman Williams. I'm just kind of looking back at
- 8:26Speaker 2: his numbers over the last few years, and There's been
- 8:30Speaker 2: some consistency in the sense he had 48 catches his
- 8:33Speaker 2: freshman year, 49 last year, but under 1,000 yards each year,
- 8:38Speaker 2: 12 total touchdowns coming into the season. This year he's
- 8:42Speaker 2: already up to 17 catches, 333 yards, and three touchdowns.
- 8:46Speaker 2: But it feels like there's been some dropsies or something
- 8:49Speaker 2: there that hasn't been right because remember it was him
- 8:51Speaker 2: and Jeremiah Smith, right, where these two guys are kind
- 8:53Speaker 2: of on par with one another. There's a clear separation
- 8:56Speaker 2: between the two. What's the talk on Coleman Williams?
- 9:01Speaker 4: He's got to catch the football.
- 9:02Speaker 5: You know, he is a guy that that dynamic freshman year,
- 9:05Speaker 5: I believe he had eight touchdowns. His freshman, true freshman season, again,
- 9:10Speaker 5: a really slight kind of a frame. So you weren't
- 9:13Speaker 5: expecting him to come in as a true freshman and
- 9:15Speaker 5: dominate the way that he did in the way that
- 9:18Speaker 5: you just mentioned. Jeremiah Smith of Ohio State dominates the freshman.
- 9:22Speaker 5: He's dominated every team since. But with Ryan Coleman-Williams this
- 9:25Speaker 5: past year, he really struggled with drops. And actually, in
- 9:29Speaker 5: the opener this year, he had a couple of drops
- 9:31Speaker 5: as well. He's had gloves on. He's taken gloves off.
- 9:34Speaker 5: It looked like he kind of got his mojo back
- 9:37Speaker 5: here these last couple of weeks.
- 9:38Speaker 4: And that's why I really think of this game as
- 9:40Speaker 4: an intriguing one.
- 9:41Speaker 5: Because, again, Kelly Jones, the big, lanky corner he's going
- 9:45Speaker 5: to be going up against... It's going to offer just
- 9:47Speaker 5: a different degree of physicality than typically Ryan Coleman Williams faces,
- 9:52Speaker 5: even in practice at Alabama. I know that sounds crazy,
- 9:55Speaker 5: but of course, there's just a whole different style of
- 9:58Speaker 5: play in Tuscaloosa. Now, Kalen DeBoer taking over for Nick Saban.
- 10:02Speaker 5: That's why I think this game is intriguing. But there's
- 10:04Speaker 5: no doubt about it in terms of just the open
- 10:06Speaker 5: field and getting open or the open field as far
- 10:10Speaker 5: as just kind of breaking away after he has the
- 10:13Speaker 5: ball in his hands. Ryan Coleman-Williams is a special player,
- 10:16Speaker 5: and so if he can have a spectacular performance in
- 10:19Speaker 5: this game, you're going to start hearing his name right
- 10:21Speaker 5: there again in the first-round conversation.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Rob, I have my weekly visit with Stuart Mandel from
- 10:28Speaker 2: The Athletic on Wednesdays, and I wanted to get to
- 10:30Speaker 2: this game and talk to him about it a little
- 10:31Speaker 2: bit just in terms of the bigger game. You're going
- 10:33Speaker 2: to talk about your expertise and certainly some of the
- 10:36Speaker 2: individual players, but I'm glad we want to talk about
- 10:39Speaker 2: Notre Dame. and North Carolina coming up this week. And
- 10:43Speaker 2: Notre Dame, I think there's people that if they kind
- 10:46Speaker 2: of just look at Notre Dame, they scoff and they say, well,
- 10:48Speaker 2: you know, they just kind of find their way in
- 10:49Speaker 2: the playoff. They don't have to play in a conference.
- 10:52Speaker 2: You know, they beat Wisconsin 41-13 at the start of
- 10:54Speaker 2: the season. That's a big win. That win looks better
- 10:58Speaker 2: by the second. They're taking on a North Carolina team
- 11:01Speaker 2: that second year under Bill Belichick does look a little
- 11:04Speaker 2: bit better, but they suffered that brutal loss to Clemson.
- 11:07Speaker 2: They're coming off of that. So let's talk about some
- 11:09Speaker 2: of the guys we're watching in that game, and that
- 11:12Speaker 2: would be Notre Dame and UNC. That's also a 9 a.m.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Game.
- 11:16Speaker 2: It's on ESPN tomorrow on Saturday. Let's talk about Leonard Moore,
- 11:20Speaker 2: the cornerback, and we'll start there because you call him
- 11:24Speaker 2: the defensive version of Jeremiah Smith.
- 11:25Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
- 11:28Speaker 5: I thought that that might catch your attention. I mean,
- 11:31Speaker 5: you know, everybody knows that quarterbacks are the most valuable
- 11:35Speaker 5: position in all of football. And even though Jeremiah Smith
- 11:38Speaker 5: is clearly the best player in college football, potentially eligible
- 11:43Speaker 5: for the 2027 draft, It's very unlikely that the Miami
- 11:47Speaker 5: Dolphins or whatever team that winds up having the number
- 11:49Speaker 5: one overall pick is going to take a wide receiver
- 11:52Speaker 5: just because, again, quarterbacks are more important than any other position.
- 11:56Speaker 5: Jeremiah Smith, again, is the best player in football. Well,
- 11:58Speaker 5: the same thing on the defensive side of the ball, Ian.
- 12:01Speaker 5: Cornerbacks just very rarely are viewed as being worthy of
- 12:06Speaker 5: a top two, top three type of a selection.
- 12:09Speaker 4: I mean, remember.
- 12:10Speaker 5: all the grief that John Schneider received when he had
- 12:12Speaker 5: the audacity of taking Devin Witherspoon number five overall, my goodness,
- 12:16Speaker 5: you know, even though he has since of course become
- 12:18Speaker 5: such a great player for the Seahawks, one of the
- 12:20Speaker 5: foundational players for this dominant defense that they have. I
- 12:26Speaker 5: think that Leonard Moore is the best defensive player in
- 12:30Speaker 5: the country, period. I mean, he is just fantastic. He
- 12:33Speaker 5: is about as good of a corner as I've ever seen.
- 12:35Speaker 5: And of course, you and I have been doing this
- 12:36Speaker 5: for 20 years now at this point, He reminds me
- 12:39Speaker 5: so much of Patrick Sutan, the great corner for the
- 12:42Speaker 5: Denver Broncos, and just his size, his physicality, his ball skills.
- 12:48Speaker 5: I mean, just everything that you're looking for in a
- 12:50Speaker 5: cornerback Leonard Moore offers. And going back to what you
- 12:54Speaker 5: mentioned before with Stuart Mandela and the conversations about Notre Dame,
- 12:58Speaker 5: this is one of the better Notre Dame teams I've
- 13:00Speaker 5: seen in an awful long time. And the biggest reason
- 13:02Speaker 5: why is, along with Leonard Moore, again, dynamic player in
- 13:06Speaker 5: his own right, They do have a legitimate quarterback in C.J. Carr,
- 13:09Speaker 5: a possible first-round quarterback. They also have a dynamic edge
- 13:15Speaker 5: rusher in Boubacar Traore. It's an easy name to screw up,
- 13:20Speaker 5: but number five is the kind of guy that when
- 13:22Speaker 5: he hits quarterbacks, they will remember his name.
- 13:25Speaker 4: He's got some length to him. Again, 6'5, he's 260 pounds.
- 13:29Speaker 5: He almost reminds me a little bit of a longtime
- 13:32Speaker 5: NFL star, Jason Pierre-Paul. really long and leggy but at
- 13:36Speaker 5: the same time he's got some agility to him got
- 13:38Speaker 5: some underrated power to him as well in any level
- 13:42Speaker 5: of football the quarterback and edge rushers the guys who
- 13:45Speaker 5: can affect the quarterbacks are most important and Notre Dame
- 13:48Speaker 5: has those guys and they have a record or a
- 13:50Speaker 5: schedule here that could allow them to get into the
- 13:53Speaker 5: playoff I think that they could do some damage so
- 13:55Speaker 5: look it seems like every year there's all this talk
- 13:57Speaker 5: about Notre is this the year Notre Dame can finally
- 14:00Speaker 5: get back and actually win a championship this may be
- 14:02Speaker 5: their year.
- 14:04Speaker 2: We have not, I don't think we've talked about CJ
- 14:06Speaker 2: Carr enough, Notre Dame's quarterback. What are we thinking there?
- 14:10Speaker 4: I like him. You know, again, he's a young quarterback.
- 14:14Speaker 4: I think he's a third-year junior.
- 14:16Speaker 5: So, again, the fact that he is surrounded by as
- 14:20Speaker 5: much talent as he has, as he does, then that,
- 14:24Speaker 5: to me, is going to be the biggest question mark. Because,
- 14:26Speaker 5: of course, last year, Notre Dame focused on their running attack.
- 14:31Speaker 5: Jeremiah Love and Jagarian Price, obviously. But now the pressure
- 14:35Speaker 5: is all on the young quarterback, and he has played well.
- 14:38Speaker 5: A little bit like Jade Maiava from USC in that
- 14:41Speaker 5: you just see... Consistent accuracy with the football, regardless of
- 14:47Speaker 5: whether it's short, intermediate, or deep passes.
- 14:49Speaker 4: He doesn't have the greatest size. He's 6'3, 220 pounds roughly.
- 14:53Speaker 5: He's not a dynamic athlete, but my goodness, as far
- 14:56Speaker 5: as a guy who's shown poise and just precision in
- 15:00Speaker 5: his passing, he is a young quarterback that I'm really
- 15:04Speaker 5: excited about because he has not only the physical traits,
- 15:07Speaker 5: but a lot of the intangibles that you're looking for
- 15:09Speaker 5: at the quarterback position.
- 15:10Speaker 2: 33 touchdowns, 7 interceptions in, well, his second two years
- 15:15Speaker 2: as a starter. Last year was the first full-time starting year,
- 15:17Speaker 2: and then obviously last year as well. So he's put
- 15:19Speaker 2: up some numbers along the way. Rob Rank, brought to
- 15:21Speaker 2: you by Forelli's Pizza, forellispizza.com. We've talked Ohio State and
- 15:25Speaker 2: Iowa a little bit, but I think we should talk
- 15:26Speaker 2: about this game. In terms of ranked teams, it's the
- 15:28Speaker 2: biggest game of the weekend. Certainly a huge Big Ten
- 15:32Speaker 2: game that everyone's talking about as well. Ohio State's ranked
- 15:36Speaker 2: number 5. Iowa, good for them at 14. Kirk Ferentz
- 15:39Speaker 2: is has found a way to navigate his old-school ways
- 15:42Speaker 2: into the new world of NIL. We know all the stars,
- 15:46Speaker 2: Julian Sand, Jeremiah Smith, Kenyatta Jackson, et cetera. What do
- 15:51Speaker 2: we see in this game? Who are you looking at,
- 15:54Speaker 2: and can Iowa hang with these guys?
- 15:58Speaker 5: I think they can hang with them just because their
- 15:59Speaker 5: defense is good enough that it's going.
- 16:02Speaker 4: To force– Ohio state to really focus in on Jeremiah Smith.
- 16:06Speaker 5: I don't know that they're going to, that the Buckeyes
- 16:07Speaker 5: are going to be able to run the ball consistently
- 16:09Speaker 5: against Iowa. And so I think it's just going to
- 16:12Speaker 5: be a classic Iowa kind of a slugfest. I just
- 16:16Speaker 5: don't know that I was going to be able to
- 16:17Speaker 5: score enough to be able to stay up with Ohio state.
- 16:20Speaker 4: I think that if, if Ohio.
- 16:21Speaker 5: State can get to say 17 points, they probably going
- 16:24Speaker 5: to be able to walk away with this, this game.
- 16:26Speaker 5: I think that Julian saying that the quarterback position is
- 16:29Speaker 5: savvy enough to experienced enough at this point and now
- 16:33Speaker 5: in his second season as the full-time starter that they
- 16:36Speaker 5: should be able to get through. And again, like we
- 16:39Speaker 5: talked about before with Leonard Moore, I think the college
- 16:42Speaker 5: football fans should just enjoy the dynamic play that is
- 16:48Speaker 5: Jeremiah Smith because he is just, and I know it
- 16:51Speaker 5: seems like every year we talk about these wide receivers, oh,
- 16:53Speaker 5: they're the greatest of all time and all that kind
- 16:55Speaker 5: of stuff. I just think that the Jeremiah Smith just
- 16:58Speaker 5: continues to amaze. I mean, I've been using the comparison
- 17:01Speaker 5: to Julio Jones, a future hall of famer since the
- 17:03Speaker 5: very first time I laid eyes on this kid as
- 17:05Speaker 5: a true freshman, but he truly is a dominant player.
- 17:09Speaker 5: One of the handful of players that I would say
- 17:12Speaker 5: was ready to play in the NFL as a true freshman.
- 17:15Speaker 4: He is that good. He should be the number one
- 17:17Speaker 4: overall pick.
- 17:18Speaker 5: He won't be, but he's as top five lock as
- 17:21Speaker 5: you're ever going to get it to me.
- 17:22Speaker 4: He's worth the price of admission all by himself.
- 17:25Speaker 2: I want to get to a couple more before we
- 17:26Speaker 2: wrap it up. Let me start quickly. BYU-TCU, Big 12 matchup.
- 17:30Speaker 2: We've talked about him a little bit last year. I'm
- 17:32Speaker 2: not sure so much this year. Nothing like looking out
- 17:34Speaker 2: there and seeing a quarterback wearing number 47, which is
- 17:36Speaker 2: Bear Bachmeier for BYU.
- 17:39Speaker 5: Yeah, and I just love that fact. I mean, it
- 17:41Speaker 5: just kind of speaks to who this kid is. You know,
- 17:44Speaker 5: the fact that he wears number 47. at the quarterback position, just,
- 17:49Speaker 5: you know, he's, he's obviously playing quarterback, but at the
- 17:52Speaker 5: same time, he has the mentality of a linebacker. You know,
- 17:56Speaker 5: he's six foot two, he's 230 pounds. He's only a sophomore,
- 18:00Speaker 5: but he already has that kind of thick, strong athletic
- 18:03Speaker 5: frame to him. You know, he's a good player. You know,
- 18:07Speaker 5: he does need to learn how to throw the ball.
- 18:10Speaker 5: I'm going to use like kind of a baseball analogy here,
- 18:12Speaker 5: take a little bit off, Throw a change up every
- 18:15Speaker 5: now and then because everything is a fastball, including some
- 18:18Speaker 5: of the short throws. So I don't know if he's
- 18:21Speaker 5: broken the fingers of some of the players around him yet,
- 18:24Speaker 5: but he might because that is one thing that I
- 18:27Speaker 5: think that he could make it a little bit easier
- 18:29Speaker 5: on some of his teammates.
- 18:30Speaker 4: But he has shown.
- 18:32Speaker 5: The clutch factor to him that I'm really intrigued by.
- 18:36Speaker 5: I liked the way that he, uh, threw some, uh,
- 18:39Speaker 5: some very accurate passes and a big win over Arizona
- 18:42Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago. Um, I think again, BYU
- 18:45Speaker 5: is a team, I think they're 10th ranked 10th in
- 18:47Speaker 5: all of the, in college football right now. They are
- 18:50Speaker 5: another team who I think has a real shot at
- 18:53Speaker 5: going into the playoff here. They also have a very
- 18:56Speaker 5: good running back. We've talked about LJ Martin for the
- 18:59Speaker 5: last couple of years. He's a little bit of a
- 19:01Speaker 5: taller back, roughly 6'2, 225 pounds. But for a guy
- 19:04Speaker 5: of that height, He does have some slitheriness to him.
- 19:09Speaker 5: He's very light feet, and he can make people miss
- 19:13Speaker 5: in a phone booth, and he runs hard.
- 19:15Speaker 4: So he's a heck of a player that.
- 19:17Speaker 5: I think is not necessarily going to run real well
- 19:20Speaker 5: as far as maybe he runs in the high 4.5s,
- 19:23Speaker 5: low 4.6s. But he is as proven of a back
- 19:27Speaker 5: as there is in all of college football, just been
- 19:29Speaker 5: a very consistent player. And then finally, I'd be remiss
- 19:31Speaker 5: if I didn't mention the linebacker. He's one of my
- 19:33Speaker 5: absolute favorite sleepers in this class, a guy that people
- 19:36Speaker 5: don't know about yet. The running back play is where
- 19:40Speaker 5: I mentioned before, LJ Martin wears number four on the
- 19:43Speaker 5: defensive side. Again, number four, Cade Uluave, 6'1, 235 pounds.
- 19:51Speaker 5: He was at Cal and was a very productive player there.
- 19:55Speaker 5: 21 and a half tackles for loss over the last
- 19:57Speaker 5: couple of seasons. He just stands out for BYU. I
- 20:00Speaker 5: haven't seen a linebacker that plays like that at BYU
- 20:03Speaker 5: for an awful long time.
- 20:05Speaker 2: Rob Rang, brought to you by Farrelly's Pizza. Farrelly'sPizza.com. We'll
- 20:08Speaker 2: wrap it up with the Washington game taken on USC.
- 20:11Speaker 2: And USC ranked 18th in the country, facing all kinds
- 20:15Speaker 2: of pressure down there with Lincoln Riley. I don't feel
- 20:18Speaker 2: as much pressure up here, but I feel like there's
- 20:20Speaker 2: some disappointment with Washington. It's interesting. Both teams have just
- 20:23Speaker 2: one loss in the season, but someone's going to come
- 20:25Speaker 2: out of there with their second loss, and it's going
- 20:27Speaker 2: to basically kill any chance of the college football playoff.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Let's just look at one matchup. USC's got a left
- 20:33Speaker 2: tackle that has started a lot of football games.
- 20:37Speaker 4: Yeah, Elijah Page is a really good player.
- 20:39Speaker 5: And again, we've been talking about tackles and edge rushers
- 20:43Speaker 5: specifically for the Seahawks. And again, you know, is warrants repeating. Obviously,
- 20:48Speaker 5: Charles Cross and Abe Lucas are cornerstones to the Seahawks past, present,
- 20:53Speaker 5: and future. But at the same time, you're always looking
- 20:55Speaker 5: for depth. And Elijah Page, to me, is one of
- 20:58Speaker 5: the tackles that isn't getting enough attention. I mentioned Ryan
- 21:02Speaker 5: Baird before for Pittsburgh. Same thing here at USC. Everybody
- 21:05Speaker 5: focuses it on the quarterback. And Jaden Maiava, good player
- 21:09Speaker 5: in his own right. But Elijah Page, 6'7, 320 pounds.
- 21:13Speaker 5: He started 24 games already over his college career, Ian,
- 21:16Speaker 5: all of them at the left tackle position. That is
- 21:20Speaker 5: a matchup that I'm curious to see how that goes
- 21:24Speaker 5: because we've talked about Jacob Lane, a little bit of
- 21:28Speaker 5: a sleeper for the Huskies, has some twitch to him.
- 21:31Speaker 5: If the Huskies are going to be able to pull
- 21:34Speaker 5: off the upset, I do think that they're going to
- 21:35Speaker 5: have to get some pressure on Mayava. and for some
- 21:38Speaker 5: type of turnovers because, of course, Washington has really struggled
- 21:41Speaker 5: to run the football. And so this might be a
- 21:43Speaker 5: game where DeMond Williams is going to have to switch
- 21:45Speaker 5: from Clark Kent to Superman if the Huskies are going
- 21:47Speaker 5: to have any type of chance at matching the points
- 21:51Speaker 5: that I expect USC to be able to put up.
- 21:54Speaker 2: Rob Rank brought to you by Farrelly's Pizza. Farrelly'sPizza.com. Look
- 21:56Speaker 2: for a location near you. Should point out happy hours
- 22:00Speaker 2: every day, 2 to 6 p.m., 9 p.m. to close.

- 22:17Speaker 2: talk to you next week.
- 22:18Speaker 4: Sounds great, buddy. Take care.
- 22:19Speaker 2: That is Rob Rang. We'll take a break. Don't forget,
- 22:21Speaker 2: Factor Fiction coming up at 235.93.3 KGRFM. Hey, Ian.
- 22:28Speaker 6: Depressed Seattle sports guy here.
- 22:30Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 22:32Speaker 6: Tony DiVello's going back to the Diamondbacks and Probably wouldn't
- 22:36Speaker 6: want to coach with analytics iPad to podo anyway. I'm
- 22:40Speaker 6: pretty depressed about that. I don't know who we're going
- 22:43Speaker 6: to get. Probably just go hide in a closet. Probably
- 22:46Speaker 6: the same one that they did his press conference in
- 22:49Speaker 6: where Softie was sitting on a table 10 feet in
- 22:51Speaker 6: the air.
- 22:53Speaker 4: Have a good weekend.
- 22:57Speaker 3: Poor depressed Seattle sports guy.
- 23:00Speaker 2: He's having a rough go of it, isn't he? Mm-hmm.
- 23:02Speaker 3: Sounds like it.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Before we get to fact or fiction here in a moment, 49451.
- 23:09Speaker 2: What's more likely, NBA in Seattle or Seahawks moving to Oakland?
- 23:12Speaker 2: The latter seems more plausible.
- 23:15Speaker 3: Well, that's doubly sad.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Thanks. That's awesome. Happy Friday.
- 23:19Speaker 3: Was that from Depressed Seattle Sports?
- 23:21Speaker 2: Happy Friday to everybody.
- 23:22Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 23:23Speaker 2: I see you responded to somebody.
- 23:24Speaker 1: F it.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Let's get hammered.
- 23:27Speaker 3: That's what they wrote back. And I said, well, booze
- 23:29Speaker 3: news at 245. And he said, I'll meet you there.
- 23:31Speaker 3: I'm in Chicago. I'm ahead of you.
- 23:33Speaker 2: Way ahead of you. 4.30 right there.
- 23:37Speaker 6: I know.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Right there, huh?
- 23:38Speaker 3: I'm jealous of Chicago. I'd be almost done with work.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Let's see. I counted several times and math ain't my
- 23:43Speaker 2: strong suit, but I think never say never is three words,
- 23:45Speaker 2: not five. Funny topical because I think it of myself.
- 23:48Speaker 2: Do I even say anything? Hashtag don't press send, but
- 23:50Speaker 2: purely only saying it because it made me laugh. Love
- 23:53Speaker 2: and appreciate y'all making me laugh every day. I was
- 23:56Speaker 2: paraphrasing it. I will never say never. It was actually five,
- 24:01Speaker 2: but I said never say never. I shortened it a
- 24:03Speaker 2: couple times.
- 24:03Speaker 3: Got it.
- 24:04Speaker 6: Math.
- 24:05Speaker 3: I did think the same thing. And then I was like,
- 24:06Speaker 3: you know what? Three, five, who cares?
- 24:08Speaker 4: It's Friday.
- 24:08Speaker 2: It is. But it's because the actual quote was five.
- 24:12Speaker 2: I cut it down to three in a paraphrase. But
- 24:14Speaker 2: you are correct. Like you, Quinn, math, not my strong
- 24:18Speaker 2: suit either. Although it's become a running joke on our
- 24:21Speaker 2: crack and pre and post game shows with Allison because
- 24:24Speaker 2: she is smart at that stuff. I'm not. And she's, oh,
- 24:27Speaker 2: you did math today. I'm like, yep, I did TV
- 24:28Speaker 2: math on the air just like that.
- 24:30Speaker 3: That's actually hard.
- 24:31Speaker 2: It's really hard. I rarely do it. But when I do,
- 24:34Speaker 2: it's a big deal. Got us an Emmy last year. Oh,
- 24:37Speaker 2: your math?
- 24:38Speaker 3: Good for you.
- 24:39Speaker 2: I'm going with that.
- 24:39Speaker 3: I think that's a great point.
- 24:40Speaker 2: It had nothing to do with content or everybody else.
- 24:42Speaker 3: No, just math.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Just Ian's math. Got us an Emmy.
- 24:45Speaker 3: I can't even.
- 24:45Speaker 7: Figure out, like, when I'm on KZOK and I have
- 24:47Speaker 7: to tell people, like, hey, we're going to do this
- 24:49Speaker 7: in this amount of time, I'm like... The other day,
- 24:52Speaker 7: my boss had to call and be like, maybe do
- 24:54Speaker 7: less math on the air. Because I was like, we'll
- 24:56Speaker 7: go in like... You have a boss for that show?
- 24:59Speaker 3: Seven minutes.
- 25:01Speaker 2: Who's your boss?
- 25:02Speaker 3: Court Weber. He's our program director.
- 25:03Speaker 2: Oh, it's not Sarge?
- 25:04Speaker 3: No, it's not Sarge.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Nope. That's going to rip on Sarge.
- 25:07Speaker 3: Yeah, you still can.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Okay. Sarge clown. No, he likes Sarge. Sarge is one
- 25:12Speaker 2: of the nicer guys.
- 25:13Speaker 3: I know, he really is.
- 25:14Speaker 2: His name is Sarge.
- 25:15Speaker 3: It's still fun to mock him.
- 25:17Speaker 2: I like the fact that his name is Sarge.
- 25:18Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 25:19Speaker 2: That's a great nickname. It really is. It's a good,
- 25:20Speaker 2: very good nickname.
- 25:21Speaker 3: It is a great nickname.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Although his name's Sargent, so I guess it's pretty easy.
- 25:25Speaker 2: Is Price going to be another Rashad Penny? Can't stay healthy.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Let's all just take a deep breath here, huh?
- 25:30Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 25:30Speaker 3: I think my bigger question is, can he hold on
- 25:32Speaker 3: to the football?
- 25:33Speaker 2: Yeah. I had a guy, I'm going to text this.
- 25:37Speaker 2: You'll appreciate this later in life, Ash.
- 25:38Speaker 6: Okay.
- 25:39Speaker 2: I'm on a text thread with my son and a
- 25:42Speaker 2: bunch of his buddies.
- 25:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 25:43Speaker 2: That are all Seahawks fans. And so one of them today,
- 25:48Speaker 2: my son says, Price has rolled out? What the hell?
- 25:51Speaker 2: And one of the kids, he's just a bust. Okay,
- 25:53Speaker 2: we're two games in.
- 25:55Speaker 3: No, three games in. But he's had two fumbles. He's
- 26:00Speaker 3: had two fumbles. I get that. But, I mean, it's
- 26:02Speaker 3: one injury.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 26:05Speaker 3: I don't think we need to go bust yet.
- 26:07Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 26:08Speaker 2: I can't answer any questions about AI-powered shipping container stores.
- 26:11Speaker 4: Sorry.
- 26:11Speaker 2: I can't help you with that.
- 26:12Speaker 3: Darn it.
- 26:13Speaker 2: I wish I could.
- 26:13Speaker 3: I wish you could, too.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Booze News is coming up, but first we've got Factor
- 26:16Speaker 2: Fiction right now.
- 26:17Speaker 8: We're set to go. Glad you're with us.
- 26:18Speaker 1: It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks. And the
- 26:23Speaker 1: $ 10, 000 grand prize.
- 26:24Speaker 2: It's Fact or Fiction.
- 26:26Speaker 1: Proudly presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Where every day feels lucky. Fact or Fiction is on.
- 26:34Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
- 26:39Speaker 2: It's that time of the year in college football where
- 26:41Speaker 2: I start thinking about what am I going to do
- 26:43Speaker 2: with a Heisman vote this year? I just had that
- 26:46Speaker 2: conversation with Hugh Mill on the other day about it.
- 26:48Speaker 2: We were having a debate, not a debate, just a
- 26:50Speaker 2: conversation about the Torrey Hunter year. That was also the
- 26:52Speaker 2: Ashton Genty year.
- 26:53Speaker 4: Yep, yep.
- 26:54Speaker 2: And the Cam Scadaboo year. And I believe Cam Ward, right?
- 26:58Speaker 2: Does that sound right? I believe it was. I should
- 27:00Speaker 2: probably remember all my picks.
- 27:02Speaker 3: Anyway. I can't remember.
- 27:03Speaker 2: Maybe it was Penix. No.
- 27:05Speaker 7: Anyway.
- 27:06Speaker 3: Penix was the.
- 27:07Speaker 2: He was the year before.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 27:08Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think it was those three guys. And
- 27:09Speaker 2: then those four. They were the finalists. I took a
- 27:12Speaker 2: lot of heat because I didn't vote for Travis Hunter.
- 27:13Speaker 4: Oh.
- 27:15Speaker 2: Here's why. If it was baseball and like a unanimous
- 27:19Speaker 2: selection for the Heisman meant something, I probably would have
- 27:21Speaker 2: leaned that way.
- 27:22Speaker 4: Okay.
- 27:24Speaker 2: I felt like Scadaboo and Jenty were both guys that
- 27:26Speaker 2: got their teams in the playoffs and they wouldn't have
- 27:28Speaker 2: been there otherwise. They're two of the best players in
- 27:30Speaker 2: the country. And I do believe somewhat vindicated because their
- 27:34Speaker 2: NFL careers have kind of shown that.
- 27:35Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 27:36Speaker 2: Pretty good players. Well, there's a guy giving me Ashton
- 27:39Speaker 2: Jenty vibes, more so than Scadaboo vibes.
- 27:43Speaker 3: All right.
- 27:43Speaker 2: In college football.
- 27:44Speaker 3: Who's this guy?
- 27:45Speaker 2: And he is going to take his team, I think,
- 27:47Speaker 2: to the college football playoff. Have you heard the name
- 27:50Speaker 2: Jaden Baugh? We just talked about him a minute ago
- 27:53Speaker 2: with our friend Rob Rang.
- 27:54Speaker 3: Okay.
- 27:55Speaker 2: Running back from the Florida Gators.
- 27:58Speaker 3: Okay.
- 27:58Speaker 2: 600 yards, 11 touchdowns already. He's got the Gators rolling
- 28:03Speaker 2: along with quarterback Aaron Filo in the top 10 of
- 28:05Speaker 2: the country. They're number eight right now. They're taking on
- 28:07Speaker 2: number 25, Missouri, this weekend.
- 28:10Speaker 3: Homer away.
- 28:11Speaker 2: It's in Columbia.
- 28:12Speaker 4: Okay.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Not too worried about it. Going to Ferret Field in Columbia, Missouri,
- 28:18Speaker 2: not quite the same as going to, say, Tuscaloosa.
- 28:21Speaker 3: Yeah, or even being at home in Tallahassee.
- 28:23Speaker 2: Or Baton Rouge. It's not that kind of atmosphere.
- 28:26Speaker 3: Yeah, not that hostile.
- 28:28Speaker 2: Now, Missouri's good, but they can't run the ball.
- 28:33Speaker 3: Oh, I know a team like that.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Florida can run the ball, and they can protect their quarterback,
- 28:38Speaker 2: Aaron Filo, the Georgia Tech transfer. I'm going with John Summerall,
- 28:42Speaker 2: one of the best hires in the offseason, the job
- 28:45Speaker 2: that Jed Fish wanted. I'm going with the Florida Gators
- 28:49Speaker 2: minus four and a half.
- 28:51Speaker 4: Okay.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Fact, 49451. I think they're on a path to get
- 28:56Speaker 2: back to football relevance and supremacy. They're going to the
- 29:00Speaker 2: college football playoff. Florida minus four and a half over
- 29:04Speaker 2: Missouri at Missouri.
- 29:06Speaker 4: Fact, 49451. Missouri?
- 29:09Speaker 2: Mizzou. Yeah, Missouri. Mizzou. Mizzou. All joking aside, he is
- 29:15Speaker 2: an absolute beast. He is fun to watch. He's going
- 29:20Speaker 2: to go over 1,000 yards here in the next couple weeks.
- 29:22Speaker 2: He is that good.
- 29:23Speaker 3: All right.
- 29:25Speaker 2: Maybe three weeks. He's at 600 right now. 11 touchdowns.
- 29:28Speaker 2: He's basically unstoppable.
- 29:29Speaker 3: That's pretty solid.
- 29:30Speaker 2: He is really good. So, I'm going Jaden Baugh, Aaron Filo,
- 29:35Speaker 2: John Sumrall, Florida Gators, minus four and a half over Missouri.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Fact four. If you disagree Fiction 49451, you're asking yourself why?
- 29:44Speaker 4: Why?
- 29:45Speaker 2: Why am I going to text Factor Fiction to 49451?
- 29:48Speaker 2: Because you're trying to win a $ 1, 000 weekly prize, $ 10, 000
- 29:50Speaker 2: grand prize. That's what you're trying to do, and we
- 29:53Speaker 2: will give away that money on Monday this week. Anderson
- 29:57Speaker 2: Hurst calls somebody. It says you just won $ 1, 000 American dollars.
- 30:02Speaker 2: How do you win that? Well, you've got to have
- 30:03Speaker 2: at least one correct pick during the week. But the
- 30:05Speaker 2: more correct ones you have, the better your chance to
- 30:08Speaker 2: win is. And it becomes very simple, very easy. Find
- 30:13Speaker 2: out more by just going to 49451 and texting Factor Fiction.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Then you'll get a little bounce back. It'll say, hey, congratulations,
- 30:18Speaker 2: you did Factor Fiction. You're going to have a chance
- 30:21Speaker 2: to win $ 1, 000 or a $ 10, 000 grand prize for the
- 30:24Speaker 2: person that has the most correct picks during the course
- 30:26Speaker 2: of the year. Very simple, very easy. Text FACTORFICTION to 49451. Again,
- 30:31Speaker 2: I'm picking Florida over Mizzou. Minus four and a half,
- 30:36Speaker 2: so they've got to win by five points or more.
- 30:37Speaker 2: A lot of people think it's going to be a
- 30:39Speaker 2: really close game. I think Florida's going to pull away.
- 30:42Speaker 2: I think Boz is too much for them. Fadal can
- 30:44Speaker 2: chuck it around. Plus, he's kind of a dual-threat guy
- 30:46Speaker 2: running the ball. He's got seven touchdowns this season, over
- 30:48Speaker 2: 900 yards already passing. They're a good football team. So, Florida,
- 30:53Speaker 2: minus four and a half, fact, four, nine, four, five, one.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Text in right now, fact or fiction, your chance to
- 30:57Speaker 2: win a $ 1, 000 weekly prize, $ 10, 000 on a grand prize.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Booze News next.

- 31:07Speaker 2: Let's go.
- 31:08Speaker 8: Cheers.
- 31:09Speaker 2: And we have a studio audience today. Dick Fain's here.
- 31:12Speaker 2: He's allowed in for Booze News because he's not softy. Oh, yeah.
- 31:15Speaker 3: He won't derail the whole thing.
- 31:17Speaker 2: Thank you.

- 31:37Speaker 8: Because it's big time.
- 31:37Speaker 3: It's a big deal. Don't know if you know that.
- 31:41Speaker 7: So we've talked about this a couple times today, but
- 31:42Speaker 7: I just wanted to offer up some alternatives for the
- 31:45Speaker 7: Colstaff family next time they're asked if they would ever
- 31:47Speaker 7: move the Seahawks or will ever think about moving the Seahawks.
- 31:50Speaker 2: Is this a better alternative than I will never say never? Yeah.
- 31:53Speaker 7: This is a better alternative than never say never. You
- 31:56Speaker 7: can answer the question with a question.
- 31:57Speaker 3: Move the team? Why would we move the team? Would
- 32:01Speaker 3: you move the team? Oh, there you go.
- 32:03Speaker 2: Turn it on them.
- 32:03Speaker 3: Turn it on them.
- 32:05Speaker 8: Simple, right?
- 32:06Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:06Speaker 3: You can ignore the question.
- 32:08Speaker 7: Just respond with, we're very lucky to be stewards of
- 32:10Speaker 7: such a great organization.
- 32:12Speaker 3: You know why I love football? And then you go
- 32:14Speaker 3: into a story about childhood football memories.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Just don't mention Pittsburgh.
- 32:20Speaker 3: Yeah, just don't do that.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Right, exactly.
- 32:21Speaker 3: Just say Team A. You could lie. Just straight up lie.
- 32:25Speaker 7: We would never move the team. We couldn't do that
- 32:27Speaker 7: to this great city. That's called the Clayton Bennett.
- 32:29Speaker 2: Yeah, Clayton Bennett move. That's the Bennett move.
- 32:31Speaker 8: There you go.
- 32:32Speaker 7: People will be pissed at you later, but you know what?
- 32:34Speaker 7: They won't be pissed at you right now. You could
- 32:37Speaker 7: get philosophical about the question.
- 32:39Speaker 3: What is moving?
- 32:42Speaker 8: If I moved to, say, Port Orchard, would that be moving?
- 32:45Speaker 8: Would that be moving?
- 32:46Speaker 3: Are we moving forward as an organization? Always.
- 32:51Speaker 7: Are we constantly moving just by being here on Earth?
- 32:55Speaker 2: Always. You just combined the Softie and Fane shows together, though.
- 32:59Speaker 2: What is moving? And then the rhetorical question to yourself.
- 33:03Speaker 2: There you go. See, that is it. You channeled your
- 33:05Speaker 2: inner three to seven.
- 33:06Speaker 8: It's all of us.
- 33:07Speaker 6: Well, you know what?
- 33:07Speaker 3: I'm going to be hanging out with them, so there
- 33:09Speaker 3: you go.
- 33:10Speaker 8: I like it.
- 33:10Speaker 3: You could laugh off.
- 33:11Speaker 7: You know, it's like the non-answer. Move the team. What
- 33:14Speaker 7: kind of a question?
- 33:16Speaker 3: Just trail off. What kind of a question?
- 33:19Speaker 2: That's what we say to Mr.
- 33:20Speaker 7: Iyer.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Are you laying people off? Yeah, there you go.
- 33:23Speaker 7: So anyway, those are just some suggestions for the PR
- 33:25Speaker 7: staff and our fearless owners.
- 33:27Speaker 3: Next time.
- 33:27Speaker 8: Next time.
- 33:28Speaker 3: Next time this problem arises.
- 33:30Speaker 7: I do have a PSA for all of our listeners,
- 33:32Speaker 7: by the way, not us, because we've got great jobs.
- 33:34Speaker 3: But if you're in the market for a new gig, Florida,
- 33:37Speaker 3: a city in Florida, where is it? Oh, St. Pete Clearwater.
- 33:41Speaker 2: Okay.
- 33:42Speaker 3: They're trying to fill three temporary roles.
- 33:44Speaker 7: These would be done in November for like two weeks,
- 33:46Speaker 7: 10 days in November.
- 33:47Speaker 6: Okay.
- 33:48Speaker 3: You have to eat.
- 33:49Speaker 7: Drink, explore, and watch sunsets, and they'll pay you.
- 33:53Speaker 3: A $ 10, 000 check.
- 33:54Speaker 2: Where do you apply?
- 33:56Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'll find the website.
- 33:57Speaker 8: Can you forward that to me, please?
- 33:59Speaker 7: The only rules are basically you've got to be 21
- 34:00Speaker 7: or older. You've got to apply by October 22nd. They're
- 34:04Speaker 7: hiring for a chief vibes officer, a chief flavor officer,
- 34:07Speaker 7: and a chief sunset curator.
- 34:09Speaker 3: I think we could do all three.
- 34:10Speaker 2: Faye and I are in. Can you just eye for
- 34:11Speaker 2: an S and I heart me?
- 34:12Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, there you go.
- 34:13Speaker 7: And here's some good news really quick. Back in 1960,
- 34:16Speaker 7: a group of scientists calculated when doomsday would be.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 34:20Speaker 3: And apparently it's November 13th.
- 34:22Speaker 2: Oh, cool.
- 34:23Speaker 3: Yeah, so we got that going for us.
- 34:24Speaker 2: What's going on that day?
- 34:25Speaker 9: Wasn't it supposed to be like 2021 or something like that?
- 34:28Speaker 8: Wasn't there a movie that was about that?
- 34:29Speaker 3: This one, they said 2026.
- 34:31Speaker 8: Yeah, but we've had a lot of those.
- 34:32Speaker 3: Wait, November what? November 13th.
- 34:34Speaker 2: That's a Friday, man.
- 34:35Speaker 3: Friday the 13th.
- 34:36Speaker 2: What are we doing?
- 34:37Speaker 3: That makes sense.
- 34:38Speaker 2: Come on, why are we doing that on a Friday?
- 34:40Speaker 3: We ended on a Monday.
- 34:41Speaker 8: That's right. Monday morning at about 745. Yeah, so you
- 34:44Speaker 8: don't have to go back to work.
- 34:45Speaker 2: Yeah. That's right during the, that's right, that's, You better
- 34:49Speaker 2: let Benton know because he's going to be in Finland
- 34:50Speaker 2: doing cracking games.
- 34:51Speaker 3: I will let him know. Although maybe Finland might be untouched.
- 34:54Speaker 3: I will say this.
- 34:56Speaker 7: You know, I really appreciate the embracing of the Booze News.
- 34:59Speaker 7: And I do have to go check in with our
- 35:01Speaker 7: Booze News contributor, our special contributor to the Booze News,
- 35:05Speaker 7: Ian Furness.
- 35:06Speaker 4: Thanks, Ashley.
- 35:07Speaker 2: I'm live on location right now.
- 35:09Speaker 8: Do we need Chopper 950? Oh, God, it was the best.
- 35:11Speaker 2: It was the best. Yeah, that almost... The original captain.
- 35:18Speaker 2: All I did with Chopper 950 is gave him a microphone.
- 35:20Speaker 2: That's all I did. I just want to say that
- 35:22Speaker 2: one more time. I had nothing to do with it
- 35:24Speaker 2: other than just saying, that's your segment. Go ahead and
- 35:26Speaker 2: do something.
- 35:26Speaker 3: Yes, and boy, did he.
- 35:28Speaker 2: Yes, he did. We're on location right now. We had
- 35:31Speaker 2: a couple of boozers. This is how big boozers has
- 35:33Speaker 2: gotten on this show. I've got not one, but two texts.
- 35:35Speaker 4: Oh, I love this.
- 35:36Speaker 2: Both from guys from Georgetown.
- 35:38Speaker 3: Okay, we're ready.
- 35:40Speaker 2: You probably have a topic for Booze News, but did
- 35:42Speaker 2: you see the Grubauer article in the Times?
- 35:44Speaker 7: Grubauer.
- 35:44Speaker 6: Grubauer.
- 35:45Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys saw this. Mike Varela
- 35:47Speaker 2: did a really cool story. Philip Grubauer is just an owner,
- 35:51Speaker 2: part owner, of two breweries. Easy Pace Brewing, which is
- 35:54Speaker 2: in Green Lake. And the other one he is is
- 35:58Speaker 2: Gasworks Brewing.
- 35:59Speaker 1: Yes.
- 35:59Speaker 2: Which has a couple locations. He's actually gotten into the
- 36:01Speaker 2: beer business, has Phil Grubauer.
- 36:03Speaker 3: Nice.
- 36:04Speaker 2: And Gasworks is fantastic. I don't know if you've been there.
- 36:06Speaker 8: Is that the one? Does the dog boat go right
- 36:08Speaker 8: by there? I think it does, yeah. It's not like
- 36:09Speaker 8: the Ivor Salmon House right there and stuff?
- 36:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 36:11Speaker 2: And the guy that's one of the brewers there used
- 36:13Speaker 2: to be one of the key guys at Georgetown. They're
- 36:15Speaker 2: still really close. Great beer, great atmosphere, great job. Fantastic.
- 36:20Speaker 2: So Groobie's involved with both of those. He's talking about, hey,
- 36:22Speaker 2: if I don't resign here, I'm going to stick around.
- 36:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I liked that.
- 36:25Speaker 8: This is home.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Which, by the way, when all these, oh, I don't
- 36:29Speaker 2: want to go to Seattle. That's weird. Everyone else seems
- 36:31Speaker 2: to come here, stays here.
- 36:32Speaker 3: Yeah, they seem to all of a sudden find a
- 36:34Speaker 3: new home.
- 36:34Speaker 2: Yeah, Groobie is like investing in prizes. So that's the one.
- 36:36Speaker 2: Another two. This is the more important one for beer people.
- 36:39Speaker 2: This is from our other correspondent, Matt Conley.
- 36:42Speaker 3: Oh, I've met him many a time.
- 36:44Speaker 1: Yes.
- 36:44Speaker 2: Hello, good sir. Little guy. His wife's probably, I think
- 36:47Speaker 2: they've got their ninth kid on the way. Oh, is
- 36:49Speaker 2: that all? He takes Catholic to a whole different level.
- 36:51Speaker 3: Yeah, nine children.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it's something like that.
- 36:53Speaker 8: Well, you know what?
- 36:54Speaker 3: My daughter's almost old enough to babysit, so call us.
- 36:56Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 36:57Speaker 8: She can make some coins.
- 36:58Speaker 2: Make some serious money. He'll pay in beer. Bodie Freshop
- 37:02Speaker 2: will be kegged on Tuesday morning next week, probably on
- 37:06Speaker 2: tap later next week.
- 37:07Speaker 4: That is.
- 37:08Speaker 2: That is the fresh hop that goes fastest than any
- 37:11Speaker 2: fresh hop in the area. How is it different than
- 37:13Speaker 2: a regular Bodie? It's fresh hop. So the fresh hop
- 37:16Speaker 2: beer is you go pick, like the hops season is now, right?
- 37:20Speaker 2: Or it's actually late August. You go pick the fresh hops.
- 37:23Speaker 2: Normally you kind of make those into pellets and they
- 37:25Speaker 2: store them and all that. These ones, fresh hop beer,
- 37:28Speaker 2: you take the hops right off the vine and immediately
- 37:31Speaker 2: make the beer.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
- 37:33Speaker 2: A lot of times, depending on the beer, it has
- 37:34Speaker 2: a real... kind of almost like a marijuana smell to it,
- 37:38Speaker 2: but it's a different taste. It is fresh. Yeah. They
- 37:42Speaker 2: have all their little beer nerd terms to it. It's fantastic.
- 37:45Speaker 2: And it comes and goes because it's fresh, so you
- 37:47Speaker 2: only have it for like a month.
- 37:48Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 37:49Speaker 2: We made the mistake a couple times doing the mayor
- 37:52Speaker 2: right around fresh hop time, like early September. Found that
- 37:55Speaker 2: wasn't a great idea because the fresh hop just goes fast.
- 37:58Speaker 2: And I would say whether it be Easy Pace or
- 38:01Speaker 2: Gasworks or whatever your favorite brewery is, if they're doing
- 38:04Speaker 2: fresh hop, I don't know if the Ram does, But
- 38:05Speaker 2: if they do fresh hop, find it, drink it. You'll
- 38:07Speaker 2: enjoy it if you're a beer person. And if you're
- 38:09Speaker 2: a beer person, you probably already know that. But those
- 38:11Speaker 2: are the two things. I have one more. Next Thursday
- 38:15Speaker 2: is the final keg party. The final keg of the
- 38:18Speaker 2: Mayor IPA. It ran out a month ago at Georgetown,
- 38:21Speaker 2: but we always save one final keg. We're doing it
- 38:23Speaker 2: in Byb Tap House in Maple Valley next Thursday, starting
- 38:27Speaker 2: at 5.30 p.m.
- 38:29Speaker 3: Love it.
- 38:30Speaker 2: So once that keg is gone, we take. That money
- 38:33Speaker 2: and all the money, we distribute all the money to
- 38:34Speaker 2: three charities, but that's our last big party for the
- 38:36Speaker 2: mayor stuff. But the mayor, last keg, this will be
- 38:39Speaker 2: the fourth year we've done it, and it is an
- 38:41Speaker 2: absolute party at that place. It's a great time. We've
- 38:45Speaker 2: killed a 15-and-a-half-gallon keg three straight years in one night,
- 38:50Speaker 2: and I say one night, in a couple hours. The
- 38:52Speaker 2: place gets packed. It's fun. It's tons of fun. That's
- 38:55Speaker 2: next Thursday. Adam, Bob, Brewing, Tap House, and Maple Valley.
- 38:59Speaker 7: Love it.
- 39:00Speaker 2: And we won't have a Booze News between now and then.
- 39:01Speaker 2: In fact, we're not even doing one next week because
- 39:02Speaker 2: you're not on.
- 39:03Speaker 3: I will be throwing a 12-year-old birthday party.
- 39:05Speaker 2: I'll be doing a short show because there'll be Husky
- 39:07Speaker 2: Honks about this time next week.
- 39:09Speaker 3: Yes, that's right.
- 39:10Speaker 4: Right? That's right.
- 39:10Speaker 2: We'll be getting Husky Honks for the Iowa game. Mm-hmm.
- 39:15Speaker 2: Is that Booze News?
- 39:15Speaker 4: Are we done?
- 39:16Speaker 2: That's it.
- 39:16Speaker 9: Yeah, we're done.
- 39:16Speaker 2: I thought it was good Booze News today.
- 39:17Speaker 3: We boozed it up.
- 39:18Speaker 2: Did you like the correspondent?
- 39:19Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 39:19Speaker 2: We've got to find a correspondent. We've got to work
- 39:21Speaker 2: on that.
- 39:21Speaker 3: We've got to come in with some, like, Yeah, I'll
- 39:24Speaker 3: come up with something.
- 39:24Speaker 2: Let's toss it live.
- 39:26Speaker 3: Yes, there we go. We need like cars in the background.
- 39:29Speaker 3: or something.
- 39:30Speaker 2: See, I think Fane adds something to Boo's news. I don't.
- 39:33Speaker 2: The other guy wouldn't.
- 39:34Speaker 1: No.
- 39:34Speaker 3: There's no chance.
- 39:35Speaker 2: He's a distraction.
- 39:36Speaker 3: Yeah, no chance.
- 39:36Speaker 9: Just try to throw in little saucy comments at times.
- 39:39Speaker 3: That's the fun.
- 39:40Speaker 2: That's the fun. That's what, yeah.
- 39:42Speaker 7: We get saucy while we say saucy things.
- 39:45Speaker 2: What is a saucy comment?
- 39:46Speaker 4: What is it?
- 39:48Speaker 2: He's down there bothering Petros right now. Yes, he is.
- 39:51Speaker 2: Where are we going?
- 39:51Speaker 8: You buying?
- 39:52Speaker 6: What's going on?
- 39:52Speaker 2: Yeah, he's down in L.A.
- 39:54Speaker 7: As someone that has spent a lot of time with
- 39:56Speaker 7: both of them, glad I'm not there.
- 39:58Speaker 8: I don't envy him tomorrow. 102 in a stadium that
- 40:02Speaker 8: has zero shade.
- 40:04Speaker 2: I think it's the warmest. The hottest stadium I was
- 40:08Speaker 2: ever in was San Diego for that hot game in 2017.
- 40:12Speaker 2: When was it?
- 40:12Speaker 1: 2017?
- 40:12Speaker 3: 2018?
- 40:12Speaker 2: That was the worst. It was so bad.
- 40:14Speaker 7: But....
- 40:18Speaker 6: L.A.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Coliseum, we've been there a few times for Seahawks when
- 40:21Speaker 2: they first moved there. And you're right, there's no circulation. Nothing.
- 40:25Speaker 2: It's just like an oven.
- 40:25Speaker 3: It's just hot.
- 40:26Speaker 2: It's just hot.
- 40:27Speaker 3: My first game there, it was 116 degrees on the field.
- 40:31Speaker 2: I don't envy him at all.
- 40:32Speaker 9: And instead, I get to sit in the air-conditioned comfort
- 40:35Speaker 9: of Tom's Watch Bar with Miles Gaskin and Greg Lewis
- 40:39Speaker 9: and drink beer and eat food.
- 40:40Speaker 8: Sounds like a way better idea. That's a way better plan.
- 40:43Speaker 2: Did Miles just retire? Yes. Didn't he just officially retire?
- 40:46Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 40:46Speaker 2: All right.
- 40:47Speaker 8: Got his Super Bowl ring, though.
- 40:49Speaker 2: Did he?
- 40:49Speaker 4: Yes, he did.
- 40:50Speaker 2: Oh, with Seattle?
- 40:51Speaker 9: Yeah, because he was on the roster pretty much the
- 40:53Speaker 9: whole season. He was on the practice squad, and then
- 40:55Speaker 9: he got a carry, I think.
- 40:57Speaker 3: Those rings are cool.
- 40:58Speaker 2: Those rings are cool. Big thanks to Tito's, right?
- 41:01Speaker 4: Yep.
- 41:02Speaker 3: Thank you, Tito's.
- 41:02Speaker 8: Thank you, Tito's.
- 41:03Speaker 3: Official sponsor of the Booze News.
- 41:04Speaker 2: Appreciate you guys. Fane, what's coming up on your show?
- 41:06Speaker 4: Oh, a lot. A lot, a lot.
- 41:07Speaker 8: A whole bunch of football. Lee Sterling with his picks
- 41:10Speaker 8: at 345.
- 41:10Speaker 2: Okay.
- 41:11Speaker 8: Michael Sean Dugar at 4 o'clock.
- 41:12Speaker 2: For The Athletic.
- 41:13Speaker 1: All right.
- 41:14Speaker 9: Turbo, Robert Turbin, who is doing the Bengals-Jags game on Sunday. Yeah,
- 41:20Speaker 9: he's Triple Option, but he does CBS games every week now.
- 41:24Speaker 4: That's awesome.
- 41:25Speaker 9: So he's doing Bengals-Jags. We'll talk about that. He did
- 41:28Speaker 9: two Browns games this year. We'll talk about the 3-1
- 41:32Speaker 9: Cleveland Browns.
- 41:33Speaker 7: Fact.
- 41:34Speaker 2: Fact.
- 41:35Speaker 8: You got the fact?
- 41:36Speaker 4: Nice.
- 41:36Speaker 9: Good work.
- 41:37Speaker 8: Hugh Breedlove-Millen.
- 41:38Speaker 9: 5 o'clock on the Hawks, 5.30 on the Huskies.
- 41:41Speaker 8: Two segments of Hugh.
