- 1:24Speaker 2: S Trewer words were never spoken. Srewer, words were never spoken.
- 1:28Speaker 2: I had needless to say.
- 1:30Speaker 5: I had a good weekend. I had lots of fun
- 1:32Speaker 5: this weekend. Spent a lot of time answering a lot
- 1:35Speaker 5: of texts, well.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Wishers and all that kind of fun.
- 1:39Speaker 5: And for any parent out there, they know there's nothing
- 1:42Speaker 5: better than watching your child have fun on a big stage.
- 1:47Speaker 5: So that was a tremendous weekend for the new Hiels.
- 1:51Speaker 6: Yeah, and I would think you were questioning whether or
- 1:53Speaker 6: not you're his real fathers. Then say, he looks exactly
- 1:56Speaker 6: like you, he talks exactly like you, and he thinks
- 1:58Speaker 6: exactly like you.
- 2:00Speaker 1: You never have to worry about that at any.
- 2:01Speaker 5: Point during your adult Well, I only have to apologize
- 2:04Speaker 5: those three things. That the acorn didn't fall far from
- 2:13Speaker 5: the tree on this one. He you know, it was fun.
- 2:17Speaker 5: He got the job on Tuesday night. I literally this
- 2:22Speaker 5: is how fast things work in the media. Bruce Feldman,
- 2:25Speaker 5: who's a terrific reporter, and the analyst for Fox texted
- 2:30Speaker 5: me that he asking me the question is Jerry the
- 2:35Speaker 5: play caller? And I looked at the text and I'm
- 2:38Speaker 5: saying what. So I called my son and he said,
- 2:42Speaker 5: they just told me three minutes ago and Bruce Feldman
- 2:47Speaker 5: already had it.
- 2:48Speaker 7: Wow.
- 2:48Speaker 5: And I said, okay, so what's the plan hare And
- 2:52Speaker 5: he goes, well, we can't do much new because they'd
- 2:54Speaker 5: already had their Tuesday practice.
- 2:57Speaker 2: So I said, all right, well.
- 2:58Speaker 5: Here's what I know about Penn State. You got to
- 3:01Speaker 5: block their defensive ends. You gotta, and you saw a
- 3:03Speaker 5: lot of ship help and all that kind of stuff.
- 3:06Speaker 5: And the next thing you know, they score their first
- 3:09Speaker 5: five drives of the second half. Coming into the game,
- 3:12Speaker 5: has lapsed in the big ten in offense. So it's
- 3:15Speaker 5: incredible what can happen when everybody pitches in. It's incredible
- 3:19Speaker 5: what happens when you give everybody a lot of hope.
- 3:22Speaker 5: And then it's incredible what can happen when you have
- 3:24Speaker 5: a really good quarterback. And Nico Iamaliava was a really
- 3:28Speaker 5: good quarterback on that Saturday.
- 3:30Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 3:31Speaker 8: Yeah, to say the least, I mean ran for what
- 3:33Speaker 8: one hundred and twenty eight yards and a few touchdowns himself.
- 3:36Speaker 8: And yet I mean was their conversation. I mean you said, yeah, okay,
- 3:40Speaker 8: Penn State, you better block their pass rush, you better
- 3:42Speaker 8: block their dns. Did you guys have conversation after he
- 3:46Speaker 8: you got to talk to him and he was going
- 3:48Speaker 8: to take over the play calling duties. Did you guys
- 3:50Speaker 8: actually talk about you know, talk shop so to speak.
- 3:54Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean whether or not he listened is debatable.
- 4:00Speaker 5: As dads will they offer advice? Uh and yeah, I
- 4:04Speaker 5: I we talked about uh and and and the one
- 4:08Speaker 5: thing that I am most proud of is that I
- 4:10Speaker 5: did I go, Now, when you win, here's what you say,
- 4:14Speaker 5: because they're going to want to talk about you, you
- 4:16Speaker 5: got to be talking about others. And to script, he
- 4:21Speaker 5: did that beautifuly. M.
- 4:23Speaker 6: Yeah, Well he's been called Rick new Isiel's sun his
- 4:26Speaker 6: entire life, So for a little while, you're going to
- 4:28Speaker 6: be Jerry new Heisl's dad.
- 4:29Speaker 2: So I want to just fine with it and just
- 4:32Speaker 2: fine with it. Yeah, it was. It was a great day.
- 4:36Speaker 2: And this is what makes college football.
- 4:37Speaker 5: I mean, this hadn't happened in forty years. Guys, A
- 4:41Speaker 5: team that was zero to four beating a top ten team.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and just a remarkable year round. I mean,
- 4:49Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I.
- 4:51Speaker 6: Mean, I mean, that's face that the Bruins could not
- 4:53Speaker 6: have looked worse in their four games, and then all
- 4:56Speaker 6: of a sudden, it looks like the answer to their
- 4:58Speaker 6: prayers was Jerry new Heiseel.
- 5:02Speaker 1: It was great to see.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Here's what I need from the two of you. You
- 5:05Speaker 2: you need to make sure that.
- 5:07Speaker 5: Michigan becomes uh this magic. So the Mariners need to
- 5:12Speaker 5: get this done in Michigan, and then here come the
- 5:15Speaker 5: Bruins to play in East Lansing this particular weekend, and
- 5:19Speaker 5: we'll see if we can have a sweep there.
- 5:22Speaker 6: Well, we've been doing a lot of trash talk this
- 5:24Speaker 6: morning with Michigan, so maybe Bucky and I can intimidate
- 5:27Speaker 6: the Wolverines. So we do that make things easier for
- 5:30Speaker 6: for Jerry and the Bruins.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Rick new Isel, it's the Spartans, all the Spartans. The
- 5:37Speaker 2: Wolverines are out here in the Los Angeles. Don't you
- 5:40Speaker 2: worry about them?
- 5:41Speaker 1: Okay?
- 5:42Speaker 6: The Spartan Yeah all right, my bad, My bad, my bad. Yeah,
- 5:45Speaker 6: U c l A at Michigan State. Well, we'll talk
- 5:48Speaker 6: trash about the Spartans too. Uh, it's Juggaboux Sports Radio
- 5:51Speaker 6: ninety three point three kh A r F M. Rick
- 5:53Speaker 6: new Isel joins us every Tuesday, and in case you
- 5:56Speaker 6: didn't know what we were talking about, his son Jerry
- 5:59Speaker 6: got promoted to the play caller with UCLA, who was
- 6:02Speaker 6: just off to a terrible start this year, and all
- 6:05Speaker 6: of a sudden they cannot be stopped by a top
- 6:08Speaker 6: ten team in the country, the Penn State and Nitney
- 6:10Speaker 6: Lyons pulled off the upset of the weekend, one of
- 6:13Speaker 6: the biggest upsets in the last few years. And Jerry
- 6:16Speaker 6: Newheisel has become the Prince of Los Angeles since that time,
- 6:20Speaker 6: and that is that's Rick's baby boy, so very proud moment.
- 6:24Speaker 6: If you saw the coverage, it was outstanding watching Rick
- 6:28Speaker 6: watch his UCLA Bruins guided by his son leading them
- 6:32Speaker 6: to victory.
- 6:32Speaker 1: It was fun. It was a fun Saturday. I don't
- 6:35Speaker 1: know if you.
- 6:35Speaker 6: Had time, being proud dad to see how Washington remarkably
- 6:39Speaker 6: came back in the fourth quarter against Maryland.
- 6:42Speaker 1: But what did you catch of that?
- 6:45Speaker 5: I My eyes were elsewhere, to be fair, but it's
- 6:50Speaker 5: a remarkable come from behind victory given the road woes
- 6:55Speaker 5: that Washington faced last year, and it sets it up
- 7:00Speaker 5: for this kind of magic to continue. I know they
- 7:02Speaker 5: have Rutgers this weekend on a Friday night, but when
- 7:08Speaker 5: you go on the road and playing a really good
- 7:11Speaker 5: Maryland team that I think it was undefeated going into
- 7:14Speaker 5: the game, and you find a way to come from
- 7:17Speaker 5: twenty back on their turf, that is a game changer
- 7:23Speaker 5: in terms of the locker room mentality and what's possible.
- 7:26Speaker 5: And for any concerns about the hangover effect of the
- 7:30Speaker 5: Ohio State loss, those are washed away and now really
- 7:35Speaker 5: everything's possible for Washington going forward, and I think that's exciting.
- 7:40Speaker 2: I think their.
- 7:40Speaker 5: Schedule is manageable, but it's exciting given where they are
- 7:46Speaker 5: and the talent of their skill coach.
- 7:50Speaker 8: I mean, the idea of anything being bigger than what
- 7:53Speaker 8: you got to witness as a father, it would be silly.
- 7:55Speaker 8: And yet I still am curious where your mind went
- 7:59Speaker 8: as far as a storylines that just, uh, you know,
- 8:02Speaker 8: obviously pale in comparison to what we were talking about
- 8:05Speaker 8: to start this this interview, but I mean just across
- 8:08Speaker 8: college football, there were some other big storylines.
- 8:10Speaker 7: What was hitting you the most?
- 8:12Speaker 2: Well, the Alabama win.
- 8:14Speaker 5: I think Kaylin de boor Washington fans are familiar with
- 8:17Speaker 5: Kaylan Uh.
- 8:19Speaker 2: I think he's doing a remarkable job with this guy.
- 8:22Speaker 5: Ty Simpson, the quarterback there, had another really good game.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Uh, that's a really good.
- 8:27Speaker 5: Vanderbilt team, had chances, you know, fumbled the ball in
- 8:30Speaker 5: the red zone, but still came away with a victory.
- 8:33Speaker 5: And now Alabama goes on the road to play at Missouri,
- 8:38Speaker 5: a team that you know, feels kind of like Robbie
- 8:40Speaker 5: Dangerfield a little disrespected, right.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Uh.
- 8:44Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, Eli Drinkwitz, the head coach
- 8:46Speaker 5: of Missouri, was the only coach in the SEC that
- 8:49Speaker 5: said he wanted automatic qualifiers rather than you know, the
- 8:53Speaker 5: committee to pick the best teams for the college football playoff.
- 8:56Speaker 5: And the reason is he said, they picked us to
- 8:59Speaker 5: finish eleventh or twelfth this year in our own in
- 9:02Speaker 5: our own conference. And we've won twenty one games the
- 9:05Speaker 5: last two years. So Missouri gets, you know, one of
- 9:09Speaker 5: the top brands, if not the top brand in college
- 9:11Speaker 5: football in Alabama coming to what they call Como Columbia Missouri. Uh,
- 9:17Speaker 5: and here comes a really good Alabama offense against the
- 9:22Speaker 5: you know, a defense that's given up a lot in
- 9:24Speaker 5: the way of rushing yards over the last couple of weeks,
- 9:28Speaker 5: and Missouri's got the top running back in the country.
- 9:32Speaker 5: This kid, I'm at Henry was at Louisiana Monroe and
- 9:34Speaker 5: he's already got over seven hundred yards rushing. So this
- 9:37Speaker 5: is going to be a wild game in Como this weekend.
- 9:41Speaker 5: That one is spicy. But Kaylin and Ryan Grubb being
- 9:45Speaker 5: paired back together, you know they've got They've got some
- 9:48Speaker 5: hot dice right now.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Offensively, Yeah, that quarterback can play too.
- 9:52Speaker 6: Rick new Isiel is with US's segment brought to you
- 9:54Speaker 6: by Taco Time joins us every Tuesday to talk from
- 9:56Speaker 6: college football.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Uh and you know it's kind of crazy.
- 10:00Speaker 6: I mean, the Red River Rivalry is this weekend and
- 10:05Speaker 6: Oklahoma's ranked number six in the country.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Texas, who started.
- 10:08Speaker 6: Number one, is not ranked right now. I mean, and
- 10:13Speaker 6: yet I'm going all in on Texas. This is like
- 10:16Speaker 6: Super Bowl, Rose Bowl, This is everything on their season.
- 10:23Speaker 6: Arch madness is all at stake this weekend, and I
- 10:25Speaker 6: have a feeling they're going to respond. But how crazy
- 10:28Speaker 6: is it that we are going into Red River Rivalry
- 10:31Speaker 6: week with Texas and Penn State outside the top twenty
- 10:35Speaker 6: five looking in.
- 10:38Speaker 5: It just goes to show you you don't get to
- 10:40Speaker 5: do it because people vote you in.
- 10:43Speaker 2: You got to do it on the field. I'm shocked.
- 10:47Speaker 5: But your sentiments right there are exactly the reason that
- 10:52Speaker 5: Texas is favored in this game. Texas is started as
- 10:56Speaker 5: a three and a half point favorite. I think it's
- 10:58Speaker 5: down to two and a half now. But they're favored
- 11:01Speaker 5: in this game. And I know a lot of people
- 11:03Speaker 5: are saying that because John McTeer, the quarterback who transferred
- 11:06Speaker 5: from Washington State to Oklahoma, had that hand surgery. But
- 11:11Speaker 5: I'm reading a lot of reports that he may be
- 11:13Speaker 5: available now.
- 11:15Speaker 2: In what shape will he be in? Who knows.
- 11:19Speaker 5: But Oklahoma has won games with that defense since Brent
- 11:23Speaker 5: Benable's arrived. The offense has been a little suspect until
- 11:27Speaker 5: our Buckle and Mattier joined forces there in Norman. This game,
- 11:33Speaker 5: to me is going to.
- 11:34Speaker 2: Be really interesting.
- 11:35Speaker 5: But you're right, this is kind of a stark last
- 11:38Speaker 5: chance that redemption, at least for twenty twenty five, given
- 11:42Speaker 5: the accolades that everybody was heaping on them in the preseason.
- 11:47Speaker 8: Yeah, Rick, I mean, the most interesting game for me
- 11:50Speaker 8: this weekend is going to be Indiana coming to Austin standium.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Surprise, surprise.
- 11:54Speaker 8: I mean it's it's biggest game of the weekend, not
- 11:57Speaker 8: just because the best team's playing, but also because of
- 12:00Speaker 8: how well Indiana's playing.
- 12:01Speaker 7: So how are you looking at that matchup?
- 12:04Speaker 5: I think it's a great matchup. As a matter of fact,
- 12:06Speaker 5: I'm excited, Bucky. I'm going to Eugene. That's the CBS
- 12:10Speaker 5: game of the week, and they're sending our crew to
- 12:13Speaker 5: do the studio show from the.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Sidelines, so I'll be there.
- 12:18Speaker 5: I'd ask you for a place to go out, but
- 12:21Speaker 5: if I go out, I might be, you know, the
- 12:23Speaker 5: target of a rabid Duck fan.
- 12:25Speaker 2: So I'm going to stay in.
- 12:27Speaker 5: But the bottom line is this is going to be
- 12:32Speaker 5: a terrific game. Both these teams have top ten offenses,
- 12:37Speaker 5: Both these teams can run the ball, and both these
- 12:42Speaker 5: teams have quarterbacks that are rolling. As I just said,
- 12:44Speaker 5: hot Dice, Fernando Mendoza has been brilliant as the quarterback
- 12:49Speaker 5: at Indiana and Dante more is doing the same thing.
- 12:54Speaker 5: So this is going to come down to defense, which defense,
- 12:57Speaker 5: and when you start thinking about Oregon and that home crowd,
- 13:01Speaker 5: you got to lean the Ducks here just because it's
- 13:04Speaker 5: going to be confusing for Indiana in that environment.
- 13:09Speaker 6: Rick new isil with us right here on Chuck and
- 13:11Speaker 6: Buck in the morning. We should ask you about you
- 13:14Speaker 6: dub Rutgers. What do you think happens in that one
- 13:16Speaker 6: Friday night.
- 13:18Speaker 5: I think it's a good game, Athan calliac Manus, the
- 13:21Speaker 5: quarterback for Rutgers is really good. They're throwing the ball
- 13:25Speaker 5: more than they used to. They used to have that
- 13:28Speaker 5: running back Kyle Manong guy who's now in the NFL.
- 13:31Speaker 5: They don't run it very much. Against Iowa. They scored,
- 13:34Speaker 5: you know, a lot of points so that they can
- 13:39Speaker 5: handle a good defense. But if they try to throw
- 13:43Speaker 5: it as much as they've tried to throw it in
- 13:45Speaker 5: the past. I like the Huskies just because I think
- 13:48Speaker 5: there's more balance with the Huskies attack, and I think
- 13:52Speaker 5: the quarterback, as I've told you guys, is really special.
- 13:55Speaker 6: All right, Well, before we close with the Taco Time
- 13:57Speaker 6: Pick of the Week, I just want to ask, I mean,
- 13:59Speaker 6: it just feels like it's a year where all of
- 14:01Speaker 6: these quarterbacks were getting all the hype for the Heisman.
- 14:05Speaker 6: The only one that really was playing well that we're
- 14:08Speaker 6: getting Heisman consideration broke his hand in John Mattier, but
- 14:12Speaker 6: nuss Meyer's been a disappointment a little bit in LSU.
- 14:15Speaker 6: Arch Manning obviously has been a disappointment at Texas Club.
- 14:18Speaker 6: Nick's been a disappointment at Clemson. Cellars has been hurt
- 14:22Speaker 6: and a little bit of a disappointment at South Carolina.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Is there a chance with Miami.
- 14:27Speaker 2: Right now, State and Drew Aller at Penn State.
- 14:30Speaker 6: Yeah, add into the list as well. Is there a
- 14:32Speaker 6: chance with Miami pretty much being ranked number one in
- 14:36Speaker 6: the country. I mean, if they came out with a
- 14:38Speaker 6: poll right now for the playoff, they would be the number.
- 14:41Speaker 6: They've got the best schedule and they're undefeated and they
- 14:44Speaker 6: were led by their defense. Is there a chance that
- 14:46Speaker 6: this ruben Bain junior is going to win the Heisman?
- 14:49Speaker 6: Because that's something that we've been hearing in college football.
- 14:53Speaker 5: Ruben Bain is the real deal, right, There's no question
- 14:56Speaker 5: there's another kid on that team. Is a door that
- 14:59Speaker 5: is is a tough out when you're trying to block
- 15:03Speaker 5: them as well. Listen, Miami has benefited. They've had some
- 15:07Speaker 5: big showcase games playing Florida, playing Florida State early in
- 15:14Speaker 5: the season. Those are you know, eyeball games that get
- 15:18Speaker 5: everybody's attention. I'm not sure I'm ready to anoint them
- 15:21Speaker 5: as the number one team in the land. I still
- 15:24Speaker 5: think Ohio State and the way that they're playing complimentary football.
- 15:29Speaker 2: You know, they're not a top twenty five offense right now,
- 15:31Speaker 2: but they easily could be.
- 15:33Speaker 5: They're just making sure they take it slow with their
- 15:35Speaker 5: young quarterback, and I think unfortunately some of these other
- 15:39Speaker 5: teams you talk about, those quarterbacks, they've got no running
- 15:42Speaker 5: game to go with them.
- 15:44Speaker 2: And if you don't have.
- 15:45Speaker 5: A running game, it gets really difficult to play that position,
- 15:50Speaker 5: especially if your offensive line has to protect on third
- 15:53Speaker 5: and long all day long. That becomes really hard. So
- 15:58Speaker 5: it's not surprising to me that this is that's what
- 16:00Speaker 5: we're seeing. It's not surprising that we're wrong because we
- 16:03Speaker 5: make all these assumptions about what a football team will look.
- 16:06Speaker 2: Like just based on their name on their uniform.
- 16:09Speaker 5: Especially in today's day and age, when so much is
- 16:12Speaker 5: happening with a roster between the end of a season
- 16:15Speaker 5: and the beginning of a new one. I mean, fifty
- 16:18Speaker 5: percent of the roster can change and no one blinks.
- 16:22Speaker 5: So it we're finding out who people are, but it's
- 16:26Speaker 5: it's come up in time in Texas and at Penn State,
- 16:30Speaker 5: no question about it.
- 16:31Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's close with your Taco Tom pick
- 16:34Speaker 1: of the week. What do you got?
- 16:37Speaker 5: I am going to take Missouri in an upset over Alabama.
- 16:43Speaker 2: They're a slight underdog at home. I think this is.
- 16:46Speaker 5: What Eli Drink which has been pointing to. And the
- 16:50Speaker 5: boat Probula thing is going.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Well. He's a seventy six percent passer, the.
- 16:55Speaker 5: Ability to run the ball, and I think it's just
- 16:57Speaker 5: gonna be a wonderful day in Como.
- 17:00Speaker 6: All right, Well, do do your alma mater a real
- 17:03Speaker 6: big favor here, and even if your son takes the
- 17:06Speaker 6: car and stays out past curfew, don't ground him.
- 17:10Speaker 1: They really need him right.
- 17:11Speaker 5: Now, let's just hope. I'll just remind you of this.
- 17:17Speaker 5: My first game at UCLA as a head coach, we
- 17:21Speaker 5: beat Tennessee in overtime and came from behind to do it.
- 17:25Speaker 5: It was a wonderful victory. The next week we got
- 17:28Speaker 5: beat fifty nine to nothing by BYU. John Wooden wrote
- 17:32Speaker 5: me a note saying there will be good times and
- 17:34Speaker 5: they're bad. And I told the immedia after I said
- 17:37Speaker 5: I didn't realize they are gonna be week one and
- 17:39Speaker 5: week two.
- 17:40Speaker 2: I just know that things happen in this game and you.
- 17:45Speaker 5: Just do your best. And that's what I told the kid.
- 17:48Speaker 5: Just do your best and find a way to block
- 17:51Speaker 5: Michigan State and see how if you can get it
- 17:53Speaker 5: to the next week, because this stuff is fleeting, but
- 17:56Speaker 5: it's magical when you get kids that believe.
- 17:59Speaker 1: Well, it was great stuff. It was really great stuff.
- 18:02Speaker 1: So thank you, We appreciate it. We'll talk to you
- 18:04Speaker 1: again next week.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Appreciate you, guys.
- 18:07Speaker 6: Take care all right, Rick new Eyes will joining us
- 18:10Speaker 6: right here on. I think we'll know pretty much right
- 18:13Speaker 6: there at game time because he'll have probably a pink
- 18:17Speaker 6: or blue bib on on his uniform and wearing pacifier shoes.
- 18:21Speaker 8: Well, I'm just we're sure it's Josh Naylor senior, like
- 18:24Speaker 8: the one that has been playing for us, not like
- 18:27Speaker 8: his offspring. He's that guy, small strike zone, but probably.
- 18:30Speaker 7: Can't hit yet.
- 18:31Speaker 9: Yeah, probably can't hit yet. It just says Nayler first base.
- 18:34Speaker 9: So I'm gonna.
- 18:35Speaker 6: Okay, all right, Well, lucky lucky there, Josh has cracked
- 18:41Speaker 6: the lineup, and we're going to hold a grudge.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Against him for leaving for an.
- 18:45Speaker 10: All day Nope, nope, nope, no grudges, no grudges.
- 18:50Speaker 1: All right.
- 18:50Speaker 6: The old Judge stops by next for a Mariner's Detroit
- 18:54Speaker 6: edition Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFL and
- 18:58Speaker 6: I don't believe you were invited, your honor.
- 19:01Speaker 7: No, I most certainly was invited.
- 19:03Speaker 1: All oh.
- 19:04Speaker 8: Oh, me and my forty eight predecessors, my great great
- 19:09Speaker 8: great great grandfathers that have all been named Cornelius. They
- 19:14Speaker 8: day two were Mariner fans. They've passed that down. And
- 19:17Speaker 8: so I'm doing some court work on the road.
- 19:20Speaker 9: Okay, so you got to all going I didn't.
- 19:24Speaker 1: Yeah, fair, Yeah, yeah, Glad that worked out for you, Judge.
- 19:27Speaker 1: It's good to be with you. We're hitting Tommy's tonight
- 19:29Speaker 1: after the game's over, So if.
- 19:31Speaker 8: You want to join us over there, I'll be there.
- 19:33Speaker 8: I'll play we'll play a game Skunk or Skunk. It's
- 19:37Speaker 8: something you wouldn't Oh, maybe you've heard about it.
- 19:40Speaker 1: I do know that game. I'm sers you're familiar with it.
- 19:43Speaker 6: All right, Well, the old Judge has made the trip
- 19:46Speaker 6: here along with us, and he wasn't even sponsored by
- 19:49Speaker 6: Snowquaalm Casino and hotel we were, but here we are
- 19:54Speaker 6: in Detroit, so we might as well do an Old
- 19:56Speaker 6: Judge Detroit Mariners edition. Right, Yes, I think, all right, well,
- 20:00Speaker 6: let's let's get it done. Here's how it works. I'm
- 20:03Speaker 6: gonna bring up a topic, Ashley, and I will discuss
- 20:05Speaker 6: it when the old Judge has heard enough. He didn't
- 20:08Speaker 6: bring his gavel with him on his road trip, but
- 20:10Speaker 6: he'll figure.
- 20:11Speaker 7: Out a way. Gabble gavel gavel.
- 20:12Speaker 6: There you go, and then whatever the old Judge says goes.
- 20:16Speaker 1: All right. Here we go.
- 20:18Speaker 6: First one, let's get it started, and we'll start with
- 20:21Speaker 6: the news of Josh Naylor. He is in the lineup tonight.
- 20:24Speaker 6: The Mariners lineup will be it'll be a ros Arena, Raleigh, Rodriguez, Polanco, Naylor, Suarez, Canzone, Roblaze,
- 20:33Speaker 6: and Crawford. Those are the starting nine, four to the m.
- 20:36Speaker 6: So we were wondering if Josh Naylor would be there.
- 20:39Speaker 1: He is there. And here's your first question.
- 20:42Speaker 6: Josh Naylor's new dad's strength will result in at least
- 20:46Speaker 6: one home run tonight.
- 20:47Speaker 10: Ashley, Yes, yeah, new dad's always I mean, now he's
- 20:51Speaker 10: got well we assume that she's had the baby.
- 20:53Speaker 9: Maybe he just went to check on her.
- 20:55Speaker 10: I don't know, but either way, his mind must be
- 20:57Speaker 10: at ease or he wouldn't be with the team right now.
- 20:59Speaker 10: So he's got that off his back and he's just
- 21:02Speaker 10: focused on making his child and his wife proud and
- 21:06Speaker 10: helping his team.
- 21:07Speaker 6: All right, So she's saying, at least one home run
- 21:10Speaker 6: from Josh Naylor, I'm going to say, no.
- 21:14Speaker 7: Gabble, gabble, shut your mouth.
- 21:19Speaker 8: He went and just minimum hugged his baby bump on
- 21:24Speaker 8: his beautiful wife, and that will give him power.
- 21:27Speaker 7: You gavel, gavel. You don't say no out of my courtroom.
- 21:31Speaker 10: Oh yeah, there you go, judge and tell her I'm standing.
- 21:35Speaker 7: You'd like to state your case.
- 21:38Speaker 6: I I just think Randy Rosereina is going to hit
- 21:41Speaker 6: two home runs tonight, and so I'm like, I didn't
- 21:44Speaker 6: want to be greedy, So I'm like, Okay, Josh's gonna
- 21:46Speaker 6: be a little tired, he's not gonna make any errors,
- 21:49Speaker 6: and he's gonna get a hit.
- 21:50Speaker 1: Okay, maybe it's a little too much to expect him.
- 21:52Speaker 1: That's fair. Use his new dad's strength to this early. Okay,
- 21:57Speaker 1: all right, let's go to item number two.
- 22:00Speaker 6: Item number two on our list The single most surprising
- 22:03Speaker 6: thing I've learned about Detroit is that their food of
- 22:06Speaker 6: choice is Coney Island food.
- 22:10Speaker 9: Yeah, that's weird.
- 22:11Speaker 10: I didn't get that, Like, so you just don't even
- 22:13Speaker 10: have your own food because I always here about Detroit
- 22:15Speaker 10: style pizza. Why they should be spouting that from the rooftops.
- 22:18Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I hear you.
- 22:20Speaker 6: I think they are known for the pizza, but there's
- 22:22Speaker 6: usually everybody's kind of known for their pizza.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Even Saint Louis has a pizza style that they use.
- 22:28Speaker 6: But I didn't expect their food of choice to be
- 22:33Speaker 6: the food of choice of another city.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 22:37Speaker 6: Yeah, Coney Island is in Brooklyn, for goodness sake. So
- 22:40Speaker 6: I'm floored by this.
- 22:42Speaker 8: Gabble gall gavel gabble, gabble. No, it's odd, and you
- 22:47Speaker 8: know what, we came here, I think with a pre
- 22:50Speaker 8: like I did. Anyways, Like I just kind of thought
- 22:53Speaker 8: Detroit's gonna be hard, come to find out.
- 22:56Speaker 1: Very nice people, very nice people, so just want chili
- 22:59Speaker 1: on everything.
- 23:00Speaker 7: It's wonderful.
- 23:01Speaker 8: And yet, Okay, we're gonna give you a little bit
- 23:04Speaker 8: of criticism, real criticism. Nice people, find your own thing.
- 23:08Speaker 8: Cony Island does not come on and then you bicker
- 23:12Speaker 8: and argue about whether it's this one or that one.
- 23:14Speaker 8: It's a hot dog with chili on it. Come on,
- 23:18Speaker 8: that mean fits he be better? Okay, because I agree
- 23:21Speaker 8: there's something different about the pizza.
- 23:22Speaker 7: But you're right.
- 23:23Speaker 8: Everybody has their own style. Chicago has their Saint Luis
- 23:26Speaker 8: said has theirs. I mean, I guess there's I'm gonna
- 23:28Speaker 8: try it. Yeah, but and maybe I'll put chili and
- 23:31Speaker 8: cheese on it. I don't know, chili and cheese.
- 23:34Speaker 1: And then I'm gonna put chili and cheese on it.
- 23:36Speaker 8: Oh, that's a great idea.
- 23:40Speaker 7: A bowl of chili and cheese. Please, chili and cheese
- 23:44Speaker 7: on top.
- 23:45Speaker 1: I want to immerse myself in the culture idea. All right.
- 23:47Speaker 1: Number three. Crazy as it sounds, gabees fire is going
- 23:52Speaker 1: to end up being the key to this series, isn't he.
- 23:56Speaker 10: Well, so I was listening and I'm trying to remember
- 23:58Speaker 10: who I heard talking about this, but they were sucking nine.
- 24:01Speaker 10: Well it was it was different because I have heard
- 24:04Speaker 10: you guys talk about it, but it was somebody else
- 24:06Speaker 10: who was saying, like kind of questioning like, well, how
- 24:08Speaker 10: did we know Gabe Spire was going to be the
- 24:10Speaker 10: key to this series, and it sure, I mean, so far,
- 24:13Speaker 10: it sure seems like he's on his way to being
- 24:15Speaker 10: the key in this series. So I would expect that
- 24:18Speaker 10: to continue. I wouldn't expect anything different in games three
- 24:20Speaker 10: and four.
- 24:21Speaker 6: It felt like not going to him was the key
- 24:23Speaker 6: in game one, and it felt like going to him
- 24:26Speaker 6: was the key in Game two. And then here we
- 24:28Speaker 6: go for Game three. Detroit's lineup, they've they've shaken.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Up a little bit.
- 24:32Speaker 6: I wondered if they were going to put Carpenter and
- 24:34Speaker 6: Green back to back again.
- 24:35Speaker 1: They have not.
- 24:36Speaker 6: They have Carpenter in the leadoff spot, They've got Cold
- 24:39Speaker 6: Keith in the three spot, and they have Riley Green
- 24:41Speaker 6: in the four spot. So three of their four top
- 24:43Speaker 6: hitters all left handed. It's like, are you trying to set.
- 24:47Speaker 1: It up for Gabe Spire to be the key to
- 24:48Speaker 1: this series. I think he's going to be the key
- 24:50Speaker 1: of the series.
- 24:50Speaker 7: Gravel Gavel, Gavel, Gavel Gavel.
- 24:53Speaker 8: He most certainly is going to be one of the
- 24:55Speaker 8: biggest keys. There's multiple things that are going to contribute
- 24:58Speaker 8: to whether or not we win this bad Boy or
- 24:59Speaker 8: lose this back Boy. But I think he is Kerry
- 25:02Speaker 8: Carpenter just first and foremost, Like you know, that's your
- 25:06Speaker 8: your public enemy number one. And part of the reason
- 25:09Speaker 8: isn't just because he's kind of killed us and he
- 25:11Speaker 8: hit one that changed the course of the first game
- 25:13Speaker 8: of the series, but it's he's on everything, and there's
- 25:16Speaker 8: things that you can read into. There was a couple
- 25:19Speaker 8: of pitches where when I think maybe Brash had struck
- 25:22Speaker 8: him out. It was a pitch down ninety eight milllin
- 25:24Speaker 8: hour fastball. He got to the bottom half, fouled it off,
- 25:28Speaker 8: actually making too good of a swing, if you will,
- 25:30Speaker 8: Like he was on time, just was fighting to the
- 25:33Speaker 8: bottom half and got too far underneath it and fouled
- 25:35Speaker 8: it straight back. He's scary going up against the right
- 25:38Speaker 8: handed guy at this point in time because he's locked in.
- 25:40Speaker 8: He kind of I think he has that focus and
- 25:42Speaker 8: he's feeling it a little bit. And then yet Gabe
- 25:44Speaker 8: Spires got him once and he's gonna have to be
- 25:46Speaker 8: He's gonna be called upon to get him again. Not
- 25:48Speaker 8: just him, but those other guys are speaking of.
- 25:50Speaker 6: And Dan Wilson know this, Go to Spire first, don't
- 25:53Speaker 6: do the go to Ferguson first, to save Spire for
- 25:57Speaker 6: later in the game, do what you did on Sunday.
- 26:00Speaker 6: Go to him first. Force aj Hench into the position
- 26:03Speaker 6: of do I need to take out my two best
- 26:05Speaker 6: hitters because they can't hit Gabe Spire force that hand,
- 26:10Speaker 6: either force them into facing a guy they don't match
- 26:13Speaker 6: up well against, or force Hench into taking them out
- 26:15Speaker 6: of the game, and then they're without them for the
- 26:18Speaker 6: rest of the contest.
- 26:20Speaker 1: And you can go with your righty.
- 26:21Speaker 6: So if Spires the first lefty every game that should
- 26:25Speaker 6: come into the game.
- 26:27Speaker 1: To replace your starter. Yea, that yeah, yeah, all right.
- 26:31Speaker 6: Next one the Lions, it turns out, are the Mariners.
- 26:34Speaker 6: Barry Sanders is Ken Griffy Junior. Their pain is our pain.
- 26:38Speaker 6: Calvin Johnson is each Row and both are going to
- 26:42Speaker 6: win World Championships this year.
- 26:46Speaker 10: I would say I I the Lions might be more
- 26:50Speaker 10: cursed because it seems like even well though maybe more
- 26:54Speaker 10: like that twenty one team when they're the best, then
- 26:55Speaker 10: all of a sudden they falter. But my problem is
- 26:59Speaker 10: I don't care about the Lions. I don't care if
- 27:01Speaker 10: they win. I mean, I like them, they're fine, but
- 27:03Speaker 10: all I'm focused on is the Mariners. So if one
- 27:05Speaker 10: has to be sacrificed for the other. Sorry Lions.
- 27:08Speaker 6: Well sure, I mean, yeah, we're going to take that approach,
- 27:10Speaker 6: But it kind of feels like a pretty similar story.
- 27:13Speaker 6: Neither has been to the championship game, neither has obviously
- 27:17Speaker 6: won the championship game. They both had good moments, they
- 27:20Speaker 6: both had outstanding players throughout their history, and both look
- 27:25Speaker 6: primed this year to really make a run at this
- 27:28Speaker 6: gavel gavel gabble.
- 27:30Speaker 8: I see the correlation, and I mean it's been There
- 27:34Speaker 8: was a long time where I felt bad for Detroit fans,
- 27:37Speaker 8: right the bags over their heads, and it was just horrible.
- 27:40Speaker 8: I'm going zero to sixteen one year, and yet now
- 27:43Speaker 8: they've found themselves as a contender and legitimate, you know,
- 27:47Speaker 8: somebody that you could argue whether or not they're the
- 27:49Speaker 8: best team, and then they've fallen short. I most certainly
- 27:52Speaker 8: see the parallels to that and the Seattle Mariners. And so,
- 27:55Speaker 8: I mean, I have one team that I root for,
- 27:57Speaker 8: and it's hard for me to really even pick a
- 27:58Speaker 8: second team. It's like the next team that I would
- 28:01Speaker 8: cheer for is ways down the list. But I think
- 28:03Speaker 8: the Tigers are the not the Tigers, the Tigers. Yeah,
- 28:07Speaker 8: you guys, suck and I'll never cheer for you. But
- 28:10Speaker 8: the Lions is a team that makes it kind of
- 28:12Speaker 8: easy to cheer for because you kind of hope that
- 28:14Speaker 8: they get over that hump because they've deserved to get there.
- 28:17Speaker 8: So yeah, I'm down with both of them win into
- 28:19Speaker 8: this year.
- 28:19Speaker 1: All right, Last one quickly.
- 28:21Speaker 6: In our Detroit Old Judge series, Bucky's mom would still
- 28:25Speaker 6: to this day leave Dad tomorrow for magnum p I.
- 28:28Speaker 1: Oh yeah, gabble gable for sure.
- 28:31Speaker 8: Sorry, Dad, Uh, it's just there's there was an uncomfortable
- 28:36Speaker 8: moment after uncomfortable moment every Tuesday or whatever day was
- 28:40Speaker 8: it that came on. My mom was very kind of
- 28:42Speaker 8: very nice and she'd be shut up, get out of
- 28:44Speaker 8: the way of the TV because of that mustache. She
- 28:47Speaker 8: probably loves this Mariners teamle gabblevel for sure.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 28:54Speaker 6: One last thing to close out the show. Next Sports
- 28:57Speaker 6: Radio ninety three point three kJ r f M my
- 29:08Speaker 6: final segment here from day number one in Detroit.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Great to be here.
- 29:13Speaker 6: Thank you very much to iHeart Detroit and all of
- 29:16Speaker 6: your terrific co workers, even though they're going down to night.

- 29:21Speaker 6: To us and we very appreciate the hospitality and the
- 29:24Speaker 6: kindness every time that we see you.
- 29:27Speaker 1: That being said, you're going.
- 29:28Speaker 8: Down there, Yeah, and I will mistake your kindness is weakness,
- 29:31Speaker 8: at least for a moment.
- 29:32Speaker 1: Oh yeah, maybe it changes. You're right.
- 29:34Speaker 6: Maybe they are trying to lull us into a false
- 29:37Speaker 6: sense of security and then they just hit us like
- 29:39Speaker 6: in the back of the head with shovels tomorrow on
- 29:41Speaker 6: our way out.
- 29:41Speaker 7: Oh yeah, we definitely don't want that.
- 29:43Speaker 1: I don't want that.
- 29:44Speaker 8: I'm probably just still keep my head on a swivel. Yeah,
- 29:47Speaker 8: while we've ran into all nice detroiters, I know, there's
- 29:50Speaker 8: a couple of turns out there.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Yeah, you're wonderful people. We still don't trust you. All right,
- 29:54Speaker 1: one last thing, let's go around the room, Ashley. What
- 29:56Speaker 1: do you got?

- 30:24Speaker 9: Tonight, We're just gonna do a family dinner. Her birthday
- 30:26Speaker 9: party won't be for a couple.
- 30:27Speaker 10: Of weeks because of softball conflicts, but yeah, tonight, just
- 30:32Speaker 10: a family thing.
- 30:33Speaker 6: Got a little dumper, big Dumper, and Bucky find out
- 30:36Speaker 6: found out for the first time this morning.
- 30:38Speaker 1: I'm quick dumber. Oh yeah, yeah, that is your new name.
- 30:42Speaker 9: It might have been too much information on the dumper.
- 30:44Speaker 6: Fronting fast, right, Bucky, what do you got for your
- 30:49Speaker 6: one last thing?
- 30:50Speaker 8: I kind of have I felt bad this morning about
- 30:54Speaker 8: the at least We're not Detroit song. I've just kind
- 30:58Speaker 8: of felt like maybe that was just out of place,
- 31:01Speaker 8: out of line, right, I mean Cleveland. Yeah, I mean
- 31:04Speaker 8: it's like, come on, Cleveland. It was the Cleveland Tourism
- 31:06Speaker 8: Bureau that did that. Yeah, I mean, Cleveland, You're not good.
- 31:10Speaker 8: But I don't know why you got to throw Detroit
- 31:11Speaker 8: under the bus. It seems wonderful at this point if
- 31:14Speaker 8: it's hues from here. Eminem gave me your head.
- 31:18Speaker 1: You're here, Yes, we're not the true Yeah.
- 31:22Speaker 10: I thought about it the other day too, and I
- 31:24Speaker 10: felt like it was too mean to play play it.
- 31:26Speaker 10: When you play in Cleveland, you can't just play it
- 31:28Speaker 10: to diss on Detroit.
- 31:30Speaker 1: No, I think you should play it.
- 31:31Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe tomorrow.
- 31:34Speaker 1: We got an axtra grind with these people. Even though
- 31:36Speaker 1: they're awesome, Yeah, very nice people.
- 31:38Speaker 7: I want to be losers.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 31:43Speaker 6: All right, Well, yeah, here we go. We're getting ready
- 31:46Speaker 6: for game number three. We got the lineups out. It'll
- 31:49Speaker 6: be one o'clock, which keeps throwing me all four o'clock.
- 31:53Speaker 6: Now I'm staring it's almost one o'clock. I just had
- 31:55Speaker 6: a little panic, like, oh my gosh, the game's about
- 31:57Speaker 6: this part. Yeah, but one o'clock back home, four o'clock here,
- 32:01Speaker 6: so we're three hours away, a little three hours and
- 32:04Speaker 6: change from the very first pitch. I just feel good.
- 32:07Speaker 6: I feel good about this evening. I'm feeling like five
- 32:10Speaker 6: to six two. Maybe I think Naylor gets a big hit.
- 32:13Speaker 6: I think a Rose Arena has a big night, and
- 32:15Speaker 6: I think Logan does Logan things to earned runs over
- 32:19Speaker 6: six innings and then you hand it over to Gabe Spire,
- 32:22Speaker 6: the star of the team. Uh, and then Brash and
- 32:26Speaker 6: Munios and we get ready to possibly close it out tomorrow.
- 32:29Speaker 7: I'm down with that. I like that.
- 32:31Speaker 8: I like that outline of how you have things going.
- 32:34Speaker 8: I can see it going that way. Possibly. I would
- 32:36Speaker 8: also be really happy with an eleven to one victory.
- 32:40Speaker 1: Okay, I'll be happy with a two to one.
