• 1:43
  Speaker 2: As mentioned earlier, the normal Funston's, uh, he's a world traveler.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: So with him being on the road, we wanted to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: get it on. Cause last week we had one segment
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: texts only. It was at noon, the noon hour, whatever
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the hell it was, Ashley, right. Or something like that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: One 30. It was like 10 minutes.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: It was just not good this week.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: It's one.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: We'll get back to normalcy next week with Funston. How
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: are you, my friend?
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, back to normalcy would be nice. It's actually two
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: hours later for me than normal sitting here in the
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Newark airport, but I'm doing well. How are you guys doing?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: We're good. We're good. This is brought to you by
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: our good friends at Georgetown Brewing. We should mention that
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: as well. They've got a couple of cool things going on.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: They've got high and low end. They've got the Super
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Lucy West Coast Double IPA. It's like Lucille, but super.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Flavors and aromas are ripened navel orange zest, spring spruce,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the Pacific Northwest Simcoe Mosaic, Citra Columbus and Comet Hops.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: That one, the Super Lucy, 8.1 ABV, baby. Oh, yeah,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: let's go. Like, you need one of those, you're good.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: At the other end, the Macrodose IPA. How about this one?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: A little lower in IPA, 3.2 ABV. That's a true
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: session IPA. You can pick those up in the taproom
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: right now at Georgetown Brewing. All right, Funston, here we go.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: We got phone calls galore. By the way, we had
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: one bullseye. And we had another 12, I believe, that
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: were within a couple seconds at noon today. So good
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: job by everybody out there. Unfortunately, we have four that
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: came in at 59.58, 59.58, 59.57. That is not going
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to be good enough. So if you don't hear your
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: one called and texting at 49451, maybe Ashley will get
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to you at the end. No Mike and no Ricky
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: with this early start. Guess who's hitting leadoff today, ladies
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen? Top of the order. Robin Burien. Fire away, Robbie.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Is this what winning feels like? Who goes first place? Oh,
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: my goodness.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I can't believe what we're hearing. Wait a second. Funston
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: at one.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: Uncharted territory.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Funston at one. No Mike in Edmonds. No Ricky in Tacoma.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And Robin Burien, can you confirm you're in first place?
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir. Yes, sir. What a world.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like this might be three in a row.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: They don't ask how. They don't ask why. They just say,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: what's the score? All right, what do you got for
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Funston first place, Rob?
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: All righty. Now, I hope he's back. Is it Lamar
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Jackson or Jordan Love? Yeah, Matt, you know what? I
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: might just Since Lamar Jackson's been dealing with the ankle injury,
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: and even if he did play, you'd be a little
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: bit concerned if he had a setback. I have Jordan
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: Love number one this week. He's going against the Detroit Lions,
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: and he's just hucking the ball downfield at will. So
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: I love the setup. If I were you, I'd play
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: it safe and go Jordan Love.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: All right. All right. Nice job, Rob. First place, Rob Imburian. Man,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Funston.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: What a world.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Opens up a line, 206. 286-95-95.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Next up, we go to Stephen Sultan. Is that right, Ash?
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: Stephen Sultan. That's correct.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Fire away, Steve.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: What do you got? Well, besides injuries and buys, they
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: kill my running backs, so I need a miracle one. Okay.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: We got Justin Hill, Fumbleius Helani, Kendra Miller, or Zoggin Knight.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Ooh.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Speaker 3 5th. Yeah. Are you talking about bam night Cardinals? Yeah,
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: I think. Yeah. You're talking. Yeah. Bam night. I, you
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: know what, I'm going to go with Andre Miller here.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Camara's probably going to play, but he's banged up. Kendra
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: kind of took the lead role in that back to
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: the last week. So you're right. It's not, it's not
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: a get rich group, but of that crew, I'm going
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: to go Kendra.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Beautiful.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: All right. Thank you.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: That's Steve in Sultan, 206-286-9595. And I'll just tell people
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a challenge for Ashley in there
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: as we navigate the phone lines today. Next up, we
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: go to Derek in Sultan. What's up, Derek?
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: What's up, guys?
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: I'm struggling this week.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Kendra Miller's my RB1.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: I need an RB2. Okay. Oh, boy. Yeah, yeah. So
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: full PPR, I need either Dylan Sampson, Tyler Algier, or
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Bam Knight.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I had Bam Knight pretty close to
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: Kendra Miller in that last call. I almost lean that way,
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: but I'm like one or two spots behind on Bam Knight.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: So I think you go with Bam and Kendra there.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: All right, perfect. That's our Salton two-step is done. Let's
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: go with Chris in Burien. Hey, Chris, what's up?
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Good afternoon. Let's keep the theme going with these running backs.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: I've got quite a few, so let's give me the
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: best two. Full point PPR. Quinn Sean Judkins, Jordan Mason,
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: Josh Jacobs, Keandre Miller. That's about it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Best two?
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Best two. Best two if possible. I'm assuming you
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: follow this all the way up to Sunday and you
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: get the good, good health report. I'm probably going Quinshawn
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Jenkins and Josh Jacobs. I mean, Green Bay, Green Bay
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: can use a little bit of life in that backfield.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: I don't think they're going to hold back too much
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: on Jacobs if he's cleared. So, uh, those are my
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: two leads right there. And, and yeah, Mason's coming back
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: from injury as well. He's kind of right there with Candace.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: A lot of this stuff you just have to follow
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: all the way up to Sunday, but I'll go, I'll
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: go with Jenkins and, um, get the other guy already but.
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: Jacob jacob josh jacob jacob thank you thank you yes
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: perfect all right that was uh that would be chris
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: in burien uh next up we go to scott in
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: marysville scott you're on with funston fire away.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Hi um do you like joe burrow or matthew stafford.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Oh good question nice and easy we like that.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Oh Yeah, I actually have Stafford up a little bit
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: higher than Burrow going against the Raiders. I have him
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: number five. I have Burrow number eight. So both good plays,
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: but I'm leaning Matt Stafford right now.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Beautiful.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: Perfect.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, that was Scott in Marysville. Next up, we go
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Jay and Kenmore, I believe. Is that right, Ash? Jay
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: and Kenmore. Yep, that's correct. Fire away, Jay.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: All right, so this is your choice. Do you want
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: a running back question or a quarterback question?
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, I like that. Dealer's choice.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: We've got a bunch of running backs. Why don't we
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: go with the quarterback one? Okay, so I have to
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: choose between my hometown favorite here in Seattle, Sam Darnold,
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: or CJ Stroud. Speaker 4 05,0 Yeah. This one's not close.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, Casey's got a good defense. Darnold's been a
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: little bit rough lately, but I just see a Stroud's
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: been absolutely on fire. He's kind of getting back to
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: what he looked like as a rookie. And you've got
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: the Giants. I love that matchup as well. So just
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: the way they're playing and the matchup favors them, you're
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: definitely going to go C.J. Stroud. Love it.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Okay. Next up, by the way, 206-286-9595. We'll try to
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: squeeze a couple more calls in.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: 206-286-9595.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: A couple more. We'll try it again. We've got a
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: ton of texts. Next up, we've got Kyle and Enum Claw.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: What's up, Kyle?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: How's my eye?
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: How's the double F voice?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: We're doing well, buddy.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: How's the claw? How's Enum Scratch treating you today?
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: Oh, beautiful day. Beautiful day today.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Love it.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Okay, I got Matthew Golden.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Is he going to play?
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: And Barkley. Yeah, the... Sounds like both have a really
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: good chance to play. Matthew Golden, for sure. LeFleur's been
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: downplaying that injury and saying it's not serious. So I
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: have Golden and Christian Watson both kind of right on
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: the borderline top 10 plays this week. And Barkley would
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: be kind of also a borderline top 10 running back
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: play if he goes out there and sounds like he's
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: been practicing. So it sounds like he's trending in the
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: right direction. direction. Good matchup against Dallas. Beautiful.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Kyle. That would be Kyle in Enumclaw. Let's do this.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: We'll squeeze one more in 206, 286, 95, 95. We've
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: got one more call. He's got a ton of texts today,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: as we always do. Ashley, who do we have there?
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Let's just find out who this is.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: Hi.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: You're on with Funston. Who is this?
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Hi, this is Jesse from Los Angeles.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: All right. Fire away.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: What do you got?
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I love you listening on the iHearty.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: Probably, too.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: That's even better. What do you got?
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I'm a first-time caller, so thank you for taking my call.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I need a half-point PPR for my flex position. I
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: need one Ramondre Stevenson or Jameson Wilkes.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: Or Jamison Williams? I love the Detroit-Green Bay game. I
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: just think they're going to set to put up a
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: ton of points. Looking at the New England Patriots backfield,
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: it sounds like with Corey Kiner, the way he's been playing,
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: they're going to split the workload three ways, which is
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: never good for fantasy. So you're definitely, in my mind,
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: going to go Jameson Williams.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Love it. Call us again. Thank you for listening on
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the app. We appreciate that. Funston, you're a big deal, Funston.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: You've got people calling in on the iHeartRadio app from
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles, California. How about that?
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Love it. Yeah, that's good stuff. I lied.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: We'll get one more call in. Are we doing the
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: same thing, Ashley?
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is fun.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Hey, who's this? You're on with Funston.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Hey, this is Mike in Linwood.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: What's up, Mike? Hey, say hi to Mike in Edmonds
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: if you see him up there north of the, in
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Snohomish County, will you?
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: He's missing out.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's missing out. All right, what do you got, Mike?
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: I've got three receivers for two spots.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: Okay. Luther Burton, Michael Wilson, and Devontae Smith. All right. Yeah,
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: this one could be, this one could be, the decision
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: could be made for you if Devontae Smith doesn't play.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: He wasn't seen at practice today, but... If he does play,
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think he was targeted 14 times last
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: week with McKee and a quarterback, which he'll still be there.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: So you definitely go Smith if he plays. And I
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: would go with Luther Burden, who's been kind of the
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: preferred receiving weapon for Caleb Williams as Roma Dunzey has
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: been landing on cut lists in fantasy this week. So, yeah, things.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Are pretty rough for Roma.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Hold up.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: What?
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: What? What? Yeah. We have one of our writers who
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: tries to, you know, tries to throw names out there
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: that are not no duh. And he had, he had
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: Roman Dunzay as a cut. Another one of our guys
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: is like, it's, it's justified, you know, if you're in,
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: if you're in a shallower league. So yeah, I mean,
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: it's been, been hard times for Rome here.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, the Roma Dunzay experience is very unpleasant.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: He is not dropping a Dunzay.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: It is really.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, we got another call.
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: Hold on.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Are we going to one more call? Are you going
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: to do that? You want to do that? All right.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: We have to. All right. You're on with Funston. Who
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: is this? Hello? You're on with Funston. Who is this?
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: This is Mike and Edmunds. Mike! Oh!
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah!
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Now you see why I had to put him through.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: There we go. That's why. I was wondering. I thought
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: we were done with phone calls, but that's... You get this.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: He's in second leadoff spot.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. You get the final say. What do you got, Mike?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Fire away. We couldn't go two weeks without hearing from you.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: Is this your normal time now? No, no, no, no.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Funston's traveling. He's in an airport in Newark right now,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: so that's all.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: All right. Okay. All right.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: Well, thanks for taking me.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Full PPR. I need one of these guys, Luther Burden,
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Ollie Gordon, or Josh Jacobs, and thank you.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: You bet.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Thanks, Mike. Full PPR. I'm probably going to go... Gosh...
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: Probably going to go Josh Jacobs and Luther Byrne. And
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: I actually think these guys are all very close. Ollie
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: Gordon surprised me with how good he's looked, but he's...
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: been one of the more luckier running backs. When you
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: look at the advanced metrics, they show that he shouldn't
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: be quite as good as he's been. So I have
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: him just slightly behind the other two in a full PPR. Beautiful.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Love it. All right. Now hit the music, Ash. We
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: got it.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: We got Mike.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: We just missed Ricky. We'll get Ricky on next week. Well,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I don't want to go more than two weeks without
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: having Ricky on, but we'll get hit the music. We'll
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: get the text 49451 on the Tacoma Dutch text line.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: As mentioned, there were a handful that came in too early.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: This is a bullseye, by the way. Jamie from Allen.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: We love when you put your names on there.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: It's so much more fun that way.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Jamie from Allen. Need a quarterback.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: C.J.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Stroud or that Caleb Williams guy. Yeah.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: I've been talking about how good Stroud's look, but Caleb
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: Williams bring in a little bit of the rushing factor
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: as well. I have him just a hair ahead of C.J. Stroud.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Andy from Redmond. Full PPR. Need one for a flex.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Xavier Worthy, and he says, I feel dirty even considering
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: this move. But Xavier Worthy, David Montgomery, J.K. Dobbins, T.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Henderson from Denver, and Omari Cooper from New England. Is
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: that not Omari?
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Who is that?
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: That's Cooper Jr., New England, and Jordan Love.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: What do you got? Jordan Love, how'd he get in there? No, no,
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: you know what?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I'm reading it out of order. Jeremiah Love.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: No, no, no. I think it's Jeremiah Love. No, you
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: know what?
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: The way the text came in is this. Let me
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: read this again. Needs one for a full PPR, one
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: for a flex. Xavier Worthy, David Montgomery, J.K.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: Dobbins.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Let's see. Henderson from New England, the running back. I
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: can't even say his name. And Cooper, the wide receiver
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: from the New York Jets.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: Just needs one of that group? Yep, yep. I'm going
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: to go J.K. Dobbins, then Worthy and Cooper. We're back-to-back,
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: but give me Dobbins, number one.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my fault. Andy, good job.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: My fault.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I can't read today. Aubrey from Ballard checking in. Full
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: PPR need, too. Jeremy Bernard, Trey Tucker, Cortland Sutton, and
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: then Brees Hall or Blake Corum. So he needs... Two
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: of those guys.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: Two of the Bernard and Tucker Sutton. I'm going to
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: go Tucker and Bernard. And Bernard saw a ton of
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: targets last week. So it's boding well for him. He's
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: trending in the right direction. And what was the next
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: group after that?
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Brees Hall or Blake Corum?
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: I'm kind of feeling like Brees Hall might end up
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: taking one more week off. If he doesn't, he's going
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: to go back to being the starter. I think Braylon
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Allen will weigh in, but he'll be the lead, and
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: Corham's second. So I would go with Brees Hall if
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: he does play.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Kyler Murray or Patrick Mahomes?
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: I have Kyler Murray. I can't go Mahomes against the Seahawks. Actually,
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: the Seahawks are legit one of the best. Past defenses
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: in the league, they've been holding quarterbacks down in fantasy. So, yeah,
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's the right move anyways.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Darren in Fircrest, he says he lives right by the
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Chambers Bay Distilling Company, the tasting room there on Bridgeport.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Go down there and check it out. Say hi to
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Alan and those guys. PPR need one. Ted McMillan, Malik Neighbors.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: I think you have to go Malik Nabors, even if
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: it's J.J. McCarthy. I mean, he was peppering Nabors as well.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Nabors is getting as many targets as anybody in the
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: league right now. So there you go, Malik Nabors.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: All right, I've got a couple more before Ashley gets
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: the latest ones. Funston, another week, another Kyle Pitts question.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: This is from Ryan in Scottsdale. Finally benched him last week,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: and then, boom, he gets 20 points. So him or Henry?
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: You broke up on that first part. So who was
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: the first guy?
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: He's got Kyle Pitts. He benched him. They dropped 20
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: last week. So does he go with him or Hunter Henry?
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I have Pitts. I like the way he's looking
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: with Pence the last couple games. So I think you've
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: got to go ahead and ride the hot hand with
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: Kyle Pitts there.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Do we feel like Mike Evans is going to play
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: or do you go Concepcion?
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, you can wait and find out a
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: little bit closer to game time. But if I'm a
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: betting man, I don't think Mike Evans plays this week.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: And they're going to get Christian Kirk back. So they
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: do have someone to kind of slot in. I mean,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: they're fairly depleted, but they will have a new blood there.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: So I'm guessing Evans doesn't play.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Steve from Camino Island, Matt Stafford, Caleb Williams, or Joe Burrow?
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: I go Stafford, Williams, Burrow in that order, but they're
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: all top QB plays this week in my mind.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Last one I've got here that came in before it
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: got to 10 seconds after the hour. These are all
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: single digits after 12 o'clock, which is amazing. Jameson Williams,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Cortland Sutton, Josh Downs, or the tight end Johnson from
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: New England, I think it is. No, or is it
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: tight end Johnson? Anyway, PPR need two.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, need two. Let's go with that. Jameson Williams, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: I think, did you have Josh Downs or was it
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: Cortland Sutton in there?
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I had Josh Downs and Cortland Sutton in there.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to go with Josh Downs slightly over Sutton,
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: but I love Jamison Williams with a bulletin for that one,
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: but give me Josh Downs slightly for the second one.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And by that way, that was our buddy Rick from
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Port Orchard. I've got one more that's a trade question,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: but I'll hold that until the end. Ashley, fire away.
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: All right, we've got James from Puyallup, full PPR. Kendra
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: Miller or Kenneth Gainwell? And what is wrong with Gainwell
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: in Tampa Bay? Seems to be way underutilized.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean, I think Bucky Irvin's been pretty
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: good there as well. But, yeah, and for that reason,
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go Kendra Miller. I like the workload
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: bump he had last week, and Gainwell's been a little
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: bit less predictable.
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: All right, from the 775, full PPR, need three. Neighbors, Coker,
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: Devontae Smith, Jameson Williams, or Burden? That is Josh in Chehalis.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: I would come down to the first two for sure,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: and then it's– I think it's Devontae Smith if he plays,
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: and if he doesn't play, then give me Burden for
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: the third.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: And Daniel and Puyallup, tight end need one. Loveland tonight
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: or Tyler Higby?
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Um i would probably i'm gonna go ahead and go
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: with tyler higby with uh with davante adams out that's
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: worked out for him so i give him a little
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: bit of a of a of a lead over loveland.
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: Okay and uh gosh uh from keith standard scoring need
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: one at sideline jessamine or softy Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: Why not the sideline reporters? Yeah, let's go Jessamine. Yeah,
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: solid choice, solid choice.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: All right, I got two more here.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: I don't know. It seems like I always go against Softie,
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: so I might as well just put the bet.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with that. It's a really good policy,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you. You couldn't have a better policy.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: All right, I got two more for you. One, this
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: is a trade question. Half PPR. Do you like the
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: trade for both sides or one or the other?
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: A.J.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Brown, Jamar Chase, Brees Hall. Four, Malik Neighbors and Jonathan Taylor.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: What do you think? Do you like the trade? Is
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: one getting the better of the other?
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: I can see how it's sort of even, but Brees
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: Hall is just kind of like the X Factor. He
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: hasn't been healthy. I don't know that it's going to
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: be like for sure that he's ever just going to
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: get clear of this. So I'm going to go with
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: the Malik neighbors side if I'm making the deal. And
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: Jonathan Taylor, we'll see. He might be on the trading block,
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: but I think he's going to be good no matter
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: where he would land other than Indianapolis. And if he
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: stays there, I'm fine with that, too. All right.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Ian, your favorite KD. Karen Szymanski, Kappa Delta Wazoo back
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: in the day. I'm telling you right now, the Szymanski sisters,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: they had a good time in Wazoo. They had a
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: really good time in Wazoo. I was usually in the library,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: so I don't know what she's talking about. Anyway, always
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: in the library, always there, once or twice. My team sucks,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: says Karen. Can you ask Brad if I should start
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks D or Patriots D?
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Ooh, I'm probably going to go with the Patriots defense there.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: More of a, I mean, yeah, I think it's pretty close,
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: but I would gamble more on a mistake by Caleb
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Williams than a mistake by Holmes.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: And Drake May or Bryce Young? Ooh, do you go
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: with a Thursday? You kind of like the Thursday, get
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: something in the bank, don't you?
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I love Drake May the way he's been playing,
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: but also Chicago's defense has been looking pretty sad the
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: last few weeks. So I have Drake May as the
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: play there for sure.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: All right, all right. See, now everyone's throwing in the
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: goofy questions.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you only get one goofy question a week.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, I like this one because it kind of
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: takes a shot at me, Softie, and Chuck.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's good.
• 22:28
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: Do that.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Do you want to read that one, Ash?
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, sure. This is from Joel. Full PPR.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: Need one.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Ian pronouncing the word tomorrow.
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: Softie doing anything quietly or Chuck Powell admitting Jerry DePoto
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: is awful.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Only need one? Yeah, only one.
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: And don't take Ian and tomorrow away from me. I
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: literally try to put it in every.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Update so that you have to say it every day.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: I didn't know that was a thing. Somehow in, I
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: don't know, close to 15 years, I've never really clocked that.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: So I'm going to take that just for the curiosity.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: Hey, Ian, when's Friday?
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: That's tomorrow.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, see, there you go.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: It's the best.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: It's my favorite. Hey, pal!
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: You think Jerry Napoto's not good? I can't even talk
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: to you at this point. All right, we're done. Funston,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: you're the best. Back at the normal time at 2
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: o'clock next week. God, Robin Buren's in first place. You're
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: doing this at 1 o'clock. No Ricky in Tacoma. The
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: world is in upheaval right now, sir.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Upheaval. I know. Unfortunately, normalcy may not work out for Rob,
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: but we'll see. We'll see if it's just the year
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: of Rob next week.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I just try to wrap my arms around that. In
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: the meantime, people to get their questions answered. How can
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: they do so, sir?
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just go to the athletics and hit the fantasy
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: football pages. There's a bunch of stuff there, a bunch
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: of analysis, breaking down week seven, as well as rankings
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: updated all the way up to pick off.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Great stuff. We'll talk to you next week, my friend.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: Sounds good. Thanks.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: That is our guy, Brandon Funston. Good stuff with him.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Back to the normal time next week, 2 o'clock today.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: We're kind enough to– or not we weren't. Steve Palazzolo,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: kind enough to move his schedule around, so he'll join
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: us at 2 o'clock from Check the Mic podcast, all
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: things NFL 3013. We'll break down Seahawks and Chiefs with
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: him at 2 o'clock right here on 93.3 KGRFM.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Now back to Ian Furness on your home for the Huskies, Kraken,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: and the 12th man. Brought to you by Seattle's closest
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Snoqualmie Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio 93.3, KJR FM.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Steve Palazzolo is set to join us coming up today
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: at 2 p.m. Normally at 1 o'clock hour on Thursdays,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: but we move Steve back because Munson's... In Newark, getting
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: ready to fly home. Big athletic meetings back there in
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: the fantasy football land. So he's got to run those
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: because he runs a show back there.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: When you said big athletic meetings, it made me think
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: they were going to have competitions.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Competitions, yeah. No, just a bunch of nerds sitting around
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: looking at numbers.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: That makes way more sense.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what they're doing and stuff. Have you
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: been to the Newark airport?
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: I have not.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: It's easy to fly into. It's just like the biggest
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: nothing burger. There's like nothing to eat.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Or maybe I have, and I just don't remember. It
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: is also a possibility.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: It's just a nothing burger one.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Um, so we, you know, Sam Donald spoke today, uh,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: talked about all the stuff that got done, the self-evaluation,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: all those things that got done during the, I guess
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: they called it kind of like a mini camp week,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: mini bi-week, whatever with the, uh, with the game being
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: a week ago today and then nothing last weekend. Um,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: One of the things that I just, and this is,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: we're a long ways away, but one of the numbers
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: that just jumped out at me is the sack numbers.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: And I'll say he's taken because I think it's usually,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: we do hardcore football here on Mondays and we kind
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: of go back and forth and there's a lot of
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: things that go into a sack. Like there's a lot
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: of things going to every single play. But he's been
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: sacked 14, he's on pace to be sacked about 40
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: times this season.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: That's not ideal.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: He got sacked 27 all of last year. He's already
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: at 14. And remember, he missed a couple games. I mean,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: he's effectively only played in four games. Because I think
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: you can say that, I mean, he did play in
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: the first one. Was it four?
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: No.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Roughly. I mean, roughly. Did he get sacked in that
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: first game? He kind of got sacked in that first game, too.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, God.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, my God.
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: Ugh.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's too many. And I know that the
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: offensive line, Abe Lucas specifically, and whoever's the right guard
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: du jour have been getting beat up quite a bit.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: We think Anthony Bradford's going to be back this week.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: But we know that's kind of, we've heard that talk
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: a lot, that chatter about the offensive line. Whether it's
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: the offensive line, Sam Darnold, lack of protection, or maybe
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: it's just the fact that they can't run the ball
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: and there's just no respect for the run and it
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: makes it easier for teams to tee off. But you've
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: got to clean that up, too. You've got to clean
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: that up. You cannot just have your quarterback on his
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: backside all the time. And on top of that, when
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: he is, that tells you. I mean, that doesn't include
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: the pressures and the hits. I mean, he got hit
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: 17 times last week and then the five sacks. That's
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: just too many. I mean, all the storylines of this
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: game this week, there's a zillion of them. Ken Walker returning.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Should the Seahawks have kept him? Did he even want
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: to stay if they gave him an offer? Why is
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Jadarian Price always hurt? They have no running back. Why
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: do you think in any way, shape, or form you
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: could piece together this running game the way you want
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: to do it with wide zone and everything else, needing
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: guys to speed on the outside with Emmanuel Wilson, George Helani,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: and whatever else is there, knowing Charbonnet is going to
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: be out? That's all those storylines. Can somebody besides JSN
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: step up and be a playmaker on the offensive side
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: of the football? That's a storyline. Ken Walker, we haven't
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: even talked about Patrick Mahomes. Like, you think about that.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, we'll get to that tomorrow with Cosell, maybe
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: even a little bit with Palazzolo here in a minute.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: We haven't even touched in on Patrick Mahomes. I don't
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: think there's a question. Maybe someone will oppose me on
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: this at 49451, the greatest quarterback of this generation. We
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: haven't even talked about him. Hasn't even brought him up,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: at least on this show. I mean, I'm not saying
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: that nobody has, but we haven't talked about it. We've
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: been talking about everything else but Patrick Mahomes.
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: It's weird to ever think that he would be an
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: afterthought in anything.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: He probably isn't except for here.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, probably.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, now everyone's going to be talking, wherever you go, like, hey,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: you've got to stop the run. Hey, they have a
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: running game now, Ken Walker. It's still about Pat Mahomes.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: But all those other storylines, Sam Darnold's got to stay upright.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: They've got to do a better job for him. They've
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: got to stop having guys in his face. It's not
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: like he's Russ and guys are in his face because
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: he's 5'10.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, John Lund, I can take a shot at Russ.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: You can't.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: That's how it works.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Russ is annoying and short.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: He's all of those things. We're allowed to say that.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: You're not.
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: We expect you to say he's great and he's tall.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Even if both are erroneous.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah. But no.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Erroneous. Yeah. But yeah, 14 sacks for 96 yards. I just,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: just looking through. some of the game notes and stuff
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: that just jumped off the.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Page at me.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: And then you start thinking about it. Actually, he's been
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: sacked 10 times in the last two games, five each.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Five by the Niners and five by the Denver Broncos.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: That's not good.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Of course, he's throwing some ill-advised passes.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: And I, I hate that term because it was used
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: unfairly when he said, I'm seeing ghosts. And we've talked
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: about it at nausea, what that actually meant. But he's
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: got to be seeing something right now that's none too
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: comfortable with guys in his face like that.
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah, if he knows that that's what's happening more often
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: than not, then yeah, he's going to feel rushed and
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: make some bad decisions.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: They got to protect him better.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: And maybe it's as simple as the run game's got
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: to be better.
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: I mean, wouldn't that be great if we could just
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: find a way to make that happen?
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: There's just this problem that everyone's like, we're going down
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: a road of Zach Charbonnet is going to be a savior.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: And Zach Charbonnet is a good football player. He's never
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: been a 1A guy. Like he's a good number two.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Like he's a good number two.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: I'll take a number two right now.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: And I guess that's, you know what? That's a hell
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: of a point.
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: You're right. Yeah.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: They don't have a number two.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: I'll take it.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: They've got two three and a halves or fours in
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Wilson and Helani.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: And Zach Charbonnet, knock on wood, can hold on to
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: the football.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: That would help. That would help. There's something weird there too.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: The running backs, the only fumble from a running back
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: last year was Helani. And I want to say that
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: was on a special teams play, I believe.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: Maybe.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: I don't remember it.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: I believe it was.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: I could be wrong. But even so, it's one. I mean,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: now this year, Price has two. Wilson has one. And
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: we all remember the Helani one as well.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: He's good.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not good. All right. 49451, that is the
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Tacoma Dodge text line, 49451. We'll get into all that
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: stuff coming up 2 o'clock with our guy Steve Palazzolo.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Ashley has a pick today in just under an hour's
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: time for Fact or Fiction. Do you know what you're
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: going to do?
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: I do not. I'm going to go look now.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Ashley's got a pick. So we've got your chance to
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: win a $ 1, 000 weekly prize, $ 10, 000 grand prize. That's coming
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: up today at 2.35. We'll get your talkbacks. Go to
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: the red microphone, the iHeartRadio app. Speak into it. Say
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: what you're thinking. Say what you mean. Give us some
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: fired up listener talk today. We want to get you
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: guys talking. And then we'll check the text as well
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: at 49451. All at 2.30 before Factor Fiction 2.35. Palo
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Zolo talking all things NFL. Mostly Seahawks. We'll get into that.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Seahawks and Chiefs matchup coming up at 2 with him.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Coming up next, a little daily power play gets you
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: set for the game tonight. You can hear it on
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: 93.3 KGRFM as the Kraken try to continue their homestand
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: with their winning ways. They got a win in the
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: first game of four straight here. We'll talk about that next.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: And then Palo Zolo, 2 o'clock, 93.3 KGRFM.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Your daily look at the National Hockey League and the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Seattle Kraken with Ian Furness.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: The power play, power play, power play. Daily power play,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: you're home for the Kraken, 93.3 KJR FM. Couple reminders tonight,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Kraken hosting the Utah Mammoth. That's a 7 o'clock face-off tonight.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: We've been trying to tell everybody these new 640 face-offs
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: for Monday through Thursday. Last I checked, this is a Thursday. Thursday?
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: You are correct.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: But it's a 7 o'clock face-off tonight.
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Because no local TV for us or Utah. It's a
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: national game on ESPN +, which is one of the
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: dumb things the NHL does. Let's put it behind a paywall.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Have we learned nothing from the MLS's mistakes at all?
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Apparently not.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Apparently not.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: No.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Anyway, so it's 7 o'clock start tonight. So your happy hour,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: which we've been telling you about, which is cool. You
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: get the $ 3 beer, $ 3 coffee. $ 3 beer, $ 3 hot.
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: Dogs, right?
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's right.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: And someone was asking about that yesterday.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: So that'll start at, I believe, 5.30 tonight.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: And it's just at Climate Pledge Arena?
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Inside the building. The first hour that the doors open.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's lovely.
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: That's a way to get people in there and be
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: ready to go. And then they go down to the
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: shop and buy a little something.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, next thing you know, you're buying yourself a couple
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: jerseys and that $ 3 beer is... No longer $ 3.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: But that's good.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: That happens.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: You got gear. Yeah, go get them. So that's tonight.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: So with that being said, of course, we'll have the
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: game for you right here on 93.3 KJR FM. Network Central,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: the captain, will be there sitting outside Section 20 with
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: his pregame and intermission show. Al and Fitz will be
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: on the call for you. So they'll have it here.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: That means that the Thursday night football game moves over
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: to the 9.50 dial on the AM side. So you
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: got that as well. Utah has been very good this year.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: They lead the Central Division.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: They're 7-3.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: They also have been very good against Seattle. They're 4-2.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: That's great.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: You know what they did in Utah, which is interesting?
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: What?
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: With the Mammoth. And I don't know if I like this. Well,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: I kind of don't like it because the perception ends
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: up being reality to many people. Unlike when Oklahoma City
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: moved to Oklahoma City from here, now you see it's
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: the worst thing in the world. Well, he's the first
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: player since Gary Payton in franchise history to do something. Like,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: the franchise history went with Oklahoma City.
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: No, I hate that.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: I do like the fact that the NBA acknowledges that
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: they didn't just start from scratch in Oklahoma City. They
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: actually had a base to build from. Unlike Utah, I
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: just said they're 4-2 all time. Well, yeah. They don't
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: include the games when they play in Arizona.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: Ah, yeah.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: They don't include anything from Arizona. Like, the Mammoth, in
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: their minds, are a new franchise.
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: Which.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: I like that, though.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: It's good, except for it's also deceiving because there's this weird, oh,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: look how good Utah is in such a short amount
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: of time. No, they had a 20-year run-up.
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: Well, and that's the thing I was going to say
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: because there are a lot of people who are like, okay,
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: so Vegas could do it and Utah could do it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Why couldn't Seattle do it?
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: That's my point.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Because, yeah, we're an expansion team. They are not. They
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: had a team. They had an organization. They just moved
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: to a new place.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: They just moved. It's not that hard.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Right? Yeah.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: I hear what you're saying.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: You hear what I'm saying?
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: That's my bugaboo of the day.
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: That's a fair bugaboo.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Is that a fair one?
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: Is it What Bugs You Wednesday?
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: No, Thursday. No, it's good.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought that up. I have thought about
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: bringing that back in.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: It was the best. What Bugs You Wednesday. It feels
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: kind of negative.
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: We're grumpy.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: But I kind of liked it. I kind of liked it.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: That's your daily PowerPoint. You're home for the crack at
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: 93.3 KDRFM.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Let me get to something else before the top of
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: the hour here, Ash, before we move on and get
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: ready to talk to Steve Palozzolo. He'll join us coming
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: up here at 2 o'clock, so just in a few minutes' time.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: I've got a couple more minutes here. So Zach Charbonnet,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: I just got a quote from Curtis Crabtree, our old
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: buddy that works over at Fox 13 now. Zach Charbonnet, quote,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: whenever I'm out there, it's going to be special. I'm
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: just going to be happy to get back out there. Obviously,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: it's still eight months, you know, so being patient and
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: just trusting the plan and what they had set up
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: for me, talking about his comeback and getting ready to go.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: George Helani said on Charbonnet, quote, he looks pretty good.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: He's always in tip-top shape. He looks really smooth with
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: his transitions and cuts, so it's pretty exciting to see
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: him get back out there And actually, you know, turn
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: that up and.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: Cut it loose.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: That's from George Helani, who's going to lose a lot
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: of touches with Zach Charbonnet back.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: But also a lot of anger.
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: A lot less people will be angry at George Helani
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: if there's someone else helping him.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Very good point. Rasheed Rice, by the way, did not
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: practice for the second straight day for Kansas City. Hamstring injury.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: That'd be unfortunate if he has to just rest that
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: for one more week. The Charbonnet... part that we haven't
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: talked about, but I'm going to go back to the summer.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: And I think even Hard Knocks, I think this was
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: mentioned on Hard Knocks. He is an immensely popular player
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: in that room. He's also really, really highly regarded by
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: the coaching staff. There's some leadership qualities with Charbonnet that...
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: I think at this point, every little thing helps. They
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: need a running back. We know that. They need a
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: running back named Jadarian Price more than they need Zach Charbonnet,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: to be honest. But Zach Charbonnet is an upgrade from
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: what they have.
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: But the other parts, the little intangibles that he brings,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: I think are needed for this team right now. We
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: had Jaron Reid on yesterday. We may replay a little
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: bit of Jaron Reid tomorrow.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: Okay. When?
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: He was good. He was really good yesterday.
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he was. He's great.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: And he said, behind closed doors, we're fine. And I
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: believe that. We're at practice. I'm at practice every Wednesday,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: and we only get to watch the first 10, 15
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: minutes whenever they're walking out and warming up. But you
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: don't see a team that looks any different in terms
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: of the attitude. There's no downtroddenness. There's no, oh, my God,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: woe is me. They're a pretty resilient group. But I
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: think the Charbonnet factor, having him active, and you saw
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: him every game. He's very, very involved. Very involved.
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: And I think just the character he brings, the emotion
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: he can bring, I think when he goes out there,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: has his first decent run, that's going to give that team,
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: that offensive line, that offense as a whole, a little
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: bit of a jumpstart. And they need all of those
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: things right now because as much as they look kind
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: of ready to go in practice, we've seen these game
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: days and things have just been going south. And really,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: it's just on the offensive side of the football, the
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: defense being put in bad situations. But I think there's
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: some intangibles just reading what Helani said and just what
