  Speaker 1: comparisons to Magic Mike just a couple of days ago,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: did you, And now yeah, now they're going to start
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: all over again.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Man, I'm sorry, that's a rough time for you.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: We can't all have the body of Channing Tatum, I know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: and the face of a silver fox.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: They just shout down the street, is that Magic Mike.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, No.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I'm just Chuck Powell.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Guys, just an overweight old man, Just Chuck Powell. All right,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: let's get to the headlines for you before we bring
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Greg on, and he exposes me for not being compared
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to Magic Mike because he's all about the truth. That
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: guy Mariners At Yankees tonight at four oh five, first pitch,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: it will be Brian woo versus Ryan Weathers. It's as
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: if they planned it.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: I I don't think they didn't.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think they planned against it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: We'll say that, yeah, this wasn't supposed to be this way.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: But here we go on the most important nine game
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: stretch of the entire season against some of the best
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: competition that we're going to face, including the Houston Astros.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: We absolutely have to win. Yeah, and they road trip's
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: going to start on the road and a haven for
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: left handed hitters and a lineup that has seven lefties
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: actually eight when you count their one switch hitter, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: we're throwing our worst road starter to start the most
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: important nine game streak of the entire year.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Andy gets to play twice on the road. Yeah, which
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: is great.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so uh, not exactly ideal. They'll be throwing Ryan
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Weather's a left hander struggled with those He'll be pitching
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: tonight for the New York Yankees. Paul Seawald was released
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: by the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday. And before you ask, yes,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: we should get him. And I don't know if he's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: got anything left, but Paul Seawald seven years ago didn't
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: think he had anything left. And the guy that got
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: him out of it, the guy that raised him up,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: he Woodworth, who we still have. So yes, let's go
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: get Paul Seawald and Adam to this group. Seahawks training camp.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: We obviously are not out there today, but they are
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: preparing for game week. This Saturday, they'll take on the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Terry and Arnold still remains an option, but
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: he is. They didn't leave it, let him leave the building,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: unlike Mike McDonald, who they didn't let leave the building.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: He has left the building. He is talking with other teams.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: The New Orleans Saints were mentioned prominently yesterday, but the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Seahawks certainly kicking the tires on Terry and Arnold, who
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: right now could be facing prison. You know, depends on
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: how that story unfolds. Jdarian Price, he is hurt, doesn't
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: look like he's gonna play in the preseason opener. We'll
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: ask Greg more about that coming up here in a
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: little bit. Preseason officially opens Thursday, though in the National
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Football League, even though the Seahawks do not play until Saturday,

• 4:58
  Speaker 1: From Martin, Greg, good morning, what is the practice schedule today?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: We're not out there, but they're still practicing today.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, this afternoon. Close practice to fans. No fans there,
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: but you know, the beat writers will be out there.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: I don't know why they kept the radios out there,
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: because I'm trying to do two jobs at once. I'll
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: actually be broadcasting from there again.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, you will be. You know there. There is
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: an element and I understand it that they people just
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: get sick of me, Greg, So that could be part
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, yeah, that's it, but it's not you
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: nailed at you.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: You're not alone.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's talk about Jadarian Price some. I mean,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: at this stage, any chance he's going to debut Saturday,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Check you missus third straight practice yesterday, upper leg soreness,
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: this kind of tongue in cheek, Mike McDonald said Saturday.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: There's no reason in August the fifteenth to push something
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: like that and make it a month long thing instead
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: of a couple of days or so, but we'll see
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: how if he comes back to practice at all the
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: next couple of days. They I looked down at one
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: point during practice yesterday at my roster and looked up
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: at the running backs, and it's san It's George Allani,
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Emmanuel Wilson, and a bunch of guys that have never
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: played an NFL game, including guys they just signed. A
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: fullback they just signed last week, a two hundred and
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: thirty five pounds running back they just signed last week. TJ.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Harden is there. It's going to be a pote pirie
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: of guys during the preseason games that haven't played NFL before.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Is there maybe a dark horse in all of this?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, if ever there was a camp for somebody
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: buried on the depth chart to sort of turn heads,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I would think this is it at the running back
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: position here in Seattle. Is there a dark horse making
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: a move at all?
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Well, it was Jacartia Wright and then he injured his
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: lower look take an ankle or lower leg last week
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: and hasn't practiced since. He's missed the last four or
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: five practices. Velis Jones, who was on the practice squad
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: last year, was in fact elevated for the Super Bowl,
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: was on the field in uniform, didn't play. He's still here.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: They converted him to wide receiver to begin camp, but
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: then when the injuries piled up at running back, they
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: put him back at running back. He's been getting time
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: a little bit with the ones. They're so thin. We
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: mentioned Emmanuel Wilson yesterday from green Bay to seven yard
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: back from green Bay that signed a one year deal.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: He's moved up in prominence with Price out. He's getting
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: time with the ones. McDonald says he likes how he's
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: the physicality back that they really don't have. Otherwise, they
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: signed this TJ. Harden who's two hundred and thirty five
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: pounds that we've yet to see him do too much
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: because he just got here. But Wilson has been the
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: ben a benefactor and he's now become a short yardage back,
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: powerback option that probably they weren't thinking about when they
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: were going through Jenarian Price and George Hollaney as their
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: options at back.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with US Seahawks Insider. If you want
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to follow him in his coverage of the Seahawks, you
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: could do so at g Bell Seattle and of course,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: get your subscription to the Newstribune dot com and then
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: you got Greg there year round with you, joins us
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: most every day here at seven oh five during the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: football season, and certainly something to talk about every day.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Terry and Arnold seems to be the juicy topic right
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: now surrounding the organization. Mike McDonald addressed it yesterday. What
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: did we hear from the head coach?
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: I was surprised Chuck how expansive he was when I
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: asked him. I thought he'd say, we look at everything,
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: we're in on everything, we'll see, but he did. He
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: said that we had a tryout, which is more than
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: originally reported. The original port was that he had a
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: second visit with the Seahawks. Well, in fact, they had
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: him on the field working out, and McDonald said it
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: was a really good tryout, said that I enjoyed meeting him,
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: getting to know him a little bit, called him by
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: name Terry on referenced to Terrion. There is some familiarity there,
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: he mentioned, and was asked about Carl Scott. We talked yesterday,
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: the Seahawks defensive back. I think we talked about that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Recruited him Arnold to Alabama out of high school in Tallahassee,
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Florida in twenty nineteen and twenty the last years that
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Scott was at Alabama. Then he left, Scott did to
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: be the Minnesota Vikings defensive backs coach, and so he
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: never coached Arnold at Alabama into becoming a first round
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: draft pick. But he knows him. He's been in his
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: living room, his family and in Tallahassee, so he knows
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: him better than anybody else in Seahawks do, and they've
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: talked to him as well. McDonald also said that those
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: they've talked to that are in Arnold's corner have given
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: the Seahawks a lot of information and those are people
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: that the Seahawks really trust. So this summation of all
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: of this is there. Like we said yesterday, they're trying
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: to be the first in line if Arnold's exonerated from
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: all of this, and that's a big if he's got
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: an arraignment hearing this week in Tampa where he enter
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: a plea most likely not guilty, so we can remain
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: free and do these shopping visits to teams. There's some
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: conflicting reports whether the visit with the Saints you mentioned
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: was yesterday or today or what have you, but it's
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: supposed to be this week. The Houston Texans New York
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: Jets have inquired, according to his agent, Nicole nn and
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: she's trying to get a market for him. And it's
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: a really odd situation to try to drum up a
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: market for a guy who could be facing life in prison.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: I asked MacDonald if the Seahawks, in their investigation of
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: Arnold's case, have gotten any read on whether there is
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: a possibility that he would be able to play the
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: entire season if everything went his way in this and
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: he said, we're still working through that. We don't know
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: that for sure, but they're trying to be of the line,
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: be the team that's met with him the most, that
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: he likes the most in case he gets exonerated, and
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: if he does, I would think, Chuck that he's not
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: going to command much more than maybe a one year,
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: near minimum salary contract. He's still only twenty three years old,
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: which is why, as we said yesterday, the football always wins.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: We'll see what happens with his case, but the Seahawks
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: want to be there.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Well, that was gonna be my next question. Is this
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: just a case of telling always wins, or can we
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: just cling to the idea that maybe this story and
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: they've already learned this is not nearly as bad as
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: it reads.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: Well, that's the inference from McDonald. He's said that they
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: have heard Arnold's side of the story. The inference man
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: the fact that we're still interested means we like what
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: we hear from that side of the story. Okay, And
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: as we said, that makes the Seahawks. It has to
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: make the Seahawks think he's going to be exonerated, or
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: else they wouldn't be going this far down the path.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: It's one thing to kick the tires in for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: free agent visit. It's another to have him in again
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: and have him in a tryout. I mean, let's say it,
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: it's not very convenient for anybody to fly out to
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: Seattle unless it's something that's decently possible. And now he's
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: been here twice. So we asked him about the culture
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: and what McDonald has created and is the fear of
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: protecting that in this case, and he said, we're still
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: working through that. So they just want to put their
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: lot in. They want to make sure that they're at
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: the front of the line. If he gets exonerated because
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: then anyone can sign them, of course, and then it
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: would be a frenzy. And the Seahawks want to say, Hey, remember.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Us our Seahawks insider Greg Belt joining us here on
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: this Tuesday morning talking some Seahawks football as we do
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: most every day during the football season here on the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: morning show. Let's talk about the secondary. I mean, Terry
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and Arnold, if added, could obviously take somebody's roster spot.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: And I'm wondering how all this is gonna shake out.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, you and I talked about aj Finley. You
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: wrote about him over the weekend. I heard you do
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: a segment on him yesterday with Jess, so obviously he's
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: creating some buzzd Anthony Bell was creating buzz I watched
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Julian Neil do a workout in front of me yesterday.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: That is one good looking athlete, and you know he's
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: going to find a spot considering the high draft pick
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: they picked used to pick him. You got Bud Clark
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: there as well. I mean, I would imagine that this
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: thing's getting overcrowded, that that secondary room, where who might
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: it squeeze out when this process comes to an end.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Well, Noah had been Agay. The eighth year veteran Corda
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: was playing nickel first team Nicol yesterday. Bud Clark has
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: taken some of the Anthony Bell's reps as the big
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: nickel demon worry type hybrid in the first team defense.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: In the last week or so, Bell's actually lost some ground,
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: even though he had to return for interception for a
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: touchdown off of Jalen Milroe yesterday and a big to
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: do and ran the link to the field and defense
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: and celebrate with him all that neim I preach. It
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: is someone that they started with as the fifth cornerback
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: to begin training camp. He looked like the heir to
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: Wreak Woolen in the alternating of three starters and two
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: spots between Woolen, Job and Witherspoon. Last year, Wells Pritchett
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: was in that starter camp. But now Evenogamy's been doing
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: that more Pritchett less, and the fact that they are
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: entertaining the possibility of adding Terry on Arnold tells me
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: they're not happy with Pritchett. They didn't say that. McDonald
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: said he loves that, and he loves Pritchett. He loves
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: the competition there but they're always shopping. They always want
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: to be shopping, and if they're trying to they must
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: not be set, and they aren't because they have a
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: veteran challenging Pritchett as well. Innogamy McDonald says he really
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: tries Bustin loves the cornerbacks that he has, but they're
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: still shopping, which tells me there's still ways to go there.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: We'll see if Pritchett ends up getting job, if nothing happens,
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: or if they don't sign on Arnold, that's probably where
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: they would land. But Ignongi, I think, is gonna make
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: the team for special teams and the veteran presence they
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: need back there.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: This is something that I'm sure you're gonna cover later
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: in the week, so I'm probably caught catching you off
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: guard with it a little bit. But just from a
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: person that's covered football for a long time and have
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: seen offensive coordinators get introduced, Brian flur has never called
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: plays before. He's gonna get his opportunity this Saturday, and
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: yet he's gonna be up against you can only call
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: a certain small percentage of the playbook. He's not gonna
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: want to expose too much, So how how will do
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: you think that will work? How much or how much
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: is Mike gonna let Brian flurry, uh, you know, not
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: exposed too much of the playbook, but also let him
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: start getting used to calling plays before the games actually count.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: Not much, and I think I mean the practices. It's
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: not in a game obviously, but they use the walkie talkies.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: It goes into the quarterbacks ear in the ear piece,
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: microph or speaker, So he's doing the mechanics of the
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: play calling. Now there is a difference. If we don't
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: know this yet. I haven't asked him if he's going
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: to be up in the press box or on the sidelines.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: But if he's on in the press box, that's a
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: different deal. Kobiek was on the field. A lot of
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: coordinators these days want to be on the field because
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: they want to be able to reach out of touch
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: and talk to them face to face with their quarterbacks,
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: and the emotions of in the feel of the game
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: is so much different down there. So we'll determine that.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: We'll start determining that on Saturday to see whether where
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: he is where he is. But other than those mechanics,
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know that it's going to be two different
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: But you're right a good point about the play calling.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: They're not going to show anything. Yeah, they're not going
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: to show the three type. If I saw four tight
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: ends on the field yesterday, three of them split out wide,
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: and I mean Eric Salbert, a tenth year career special
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: teams guy, was split out wide as a flanker. They're
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: gonna have a lot of tight end motion. Y're gonna
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: see much of that at all in the preseason. I
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: wouldn't think we'll see. It's also a good point to
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: say if Florie's never done this before, the only time
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: he's been a coordinator at any level was twenty years
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: ago at Sacred Hearty University in Connecticut, and that was
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: on defense. So they did a little bit of a
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: dice roll here to take a Super Bowl winning offense
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: and hand it over to someone who's never done this before.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: This may take a few weeks into the season for
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: him to get comfortable.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: All right, What else? What else we got in that
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: notebook that we want to share that I haven't asked well?
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Jackson Smith and jigbit every day is just I mean,
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: yesterday he had a one handy catch by spinning around
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: he had. I had a sixty fifty seven yard touchdown
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: when he went on an outside release on Devin Witherspoon
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: and stayed away from the jam and just used his
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: body leveraged to stay outside a perfect throw from Sam Donald.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: He had another really savvy play in the middle of
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: his zone coveries where instead of just taking his route
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: where it looked like he was intended to go, he
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: just stopped between the safety and the corner back and
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: it was an easy twenty five yard catch because he
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: just found the spot and Darnald knew he was going
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: to do it instead of continuing his break. Just the savviness,
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: the body control. He looks like he's so different assertiveness
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: wise in this offense compared to this time last year
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: when they had just traded DK Metcalf, So that impressiveness continues.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Jake Bobo came back to practice. You mentioned Julian Neal
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: coming back to practice yesterday, the first time they've practiced
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: in two weeks. They only did individual drills. They haven't
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: yet gotten back to full go eleven on eleven. Those
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: are two guys they probably would play, but not play
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: because of the injury situation. Saturday night and then The
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: other thing to remember about this preseason game Saturday, it
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: is going to be non starters. It's gonna be the
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: reserves and guys trying to make the roster spots. The
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: only real time, and so far in the three years
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: i've covered Mike McDonald, the only real time the starters
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: do anything of substance during the preseason is that joint practice.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: That's why McDonald has it. And the joint practice, all
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: of a sudden is next week, next Friday, about ten
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: days from now in Nashville. That'll be one of the
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: good ones versus ones, and that probably will be the
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: only time the starters do much this preseason.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: All right, what do you got to plan for the show?
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Don't take magic mirror, It's already been taken.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: Uh so, No, really? Yeah on it this morning.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a brand new I got a brand
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: new feature.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Sorry about it. Greg.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Well, if I hear you're gonna do a magic mirror segment,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to beat you to the punch.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: As soon as you said magic mirror, I thought of
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: justin Timberlake and the old Saturday in the Life skit.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: Those you may have known what I'm talking about. The mirror.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I think that was called the crank in the Box.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I think is what that segment was called.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Do you remember what I'm talking about?
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: That was a great Christmas Yes, A J.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: Finley. I actually sat down with him after practice yesterday
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: and we talked a lot about not just his rehabilitation
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: twelve months ago blown at his knee. He's a brand
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: new father. He had maybe two months ago. He married
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: his college sweetheart. He was a really good story about
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: how he met his college sweetheart at the University of Mississippi.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: And clear from him at eleven o'clock and we'll talk
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: about this Terry On Arnold case because it is not
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: a Mike McDonald interest. It is counter to what we've
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: come to know in the culture, right I agree?
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: All right, Greg, thank you. We'll listen to ten o'clock, sir,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: all right, thanks all right, Greg Bell our Seahawks insider
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: joining us thanks to the Emerald. Queen Casino right here
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: on Chuck in the morning. She'll be with us all fall.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up next on our show, ABC's of
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the Ms. Come your way, We do it every day.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM tas for tall task. Okayernnie,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: We do have a nine game road trip coming up,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and it is a tall task for a team seven
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: games under five hundred that has not figured out a
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: way to play consistently well all season long. And so,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: as I mentioned yesterday, I do believe I find myself
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: on the side of the fence that says I don't
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: think it's going to happen. Doesn't mean that it won't,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that I'm giving up hope. It just feels
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: like this team doesn't have the ability to play good
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: baseball for an extended period of time, maybe for a series,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: maybe for four games, but it's going to take more
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: than that to erase this deficit, which grew larger by
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: the way last night both the Astros and the Rangers
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: won last night. And I would also point this out
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: just quickly, American League West has two teams with winning records,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the nationally centralized two teams with winning records. Yeah, just
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: with all of you that panic about that stuff anyway,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: So you know, the task just got larger. And yet
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: as you get ready to take all in the New
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: York Yankees for three games, the Astros for three games,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: and the Milwaukee Brewers for three games, three teams with
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: winning records. Right now, we're kind of falling back on
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: this idea. Does it really matter with the Mariners? Do
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: they play to their competition? I mean, it feels like
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you feel like they mountains too
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: tall to climb sometimes. I think historically recent history, they
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: tend to play better, it seems, against when the when
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the chips are stacked most against them. That's the way
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: that it's felt here in recent years. I don't know
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: if it applies to this season. So I just spent
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit of time in the break, and you'll
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: have to forgive me because I'm going to have to
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: take off my socks and count with my toes here
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: against winning records, teams with winning records one two, three, four, seven, nine, eleven, twelve, sixteen,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: seventeen wins losses five seven, nine, eleven, fourteen, seventeen, eighteen,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: nineteen twenty. No, it's more than that five seven, nine, eleven, fourteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty five, twenty seven, seventeen, and twenty seven.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't hold water. We don't. We haven't played
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: better against teams with winning records this year. We're seventeen
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: and twenty seven. So it's a nice theory, and I
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: do think it has applied in the past, but that
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the truth of the matter is this team has not
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: been that team this year. So whatever happens over the
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: course of the next nine days, Ashley has got to
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: be a complete turnaround, a complete flip of the switch.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Something has to get this team going. Obviously, a clutch
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: home runs not going to do it, or a dramatic
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: four to two win over the Tigers, or a near
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: bench clearing brawl. None of those things are going to
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: do it simply. But this team has to start playing
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: good baseball tonight and then they have to keep playing
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: it for the large percentage of the remaining games of
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the schedule. We have seen no evidence that that can
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: happen with this baseball team. The only thing that we
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: can hold onto, and that I'm holding on to, is
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I know they have the talent to do it, and
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: boy are they do. For a streak, almost every team
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: in baseball has at least a seven to ten games streak,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: no matter how bad you are.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: We didn't have one to eight.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Do we have an eight? Yeah?
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Back in the day, remember that it didn't see we
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: were all like, how's this happening?
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Didn't even feel like real win this season?
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: We had an eight game winning Oh you're right, we
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: did have an eight game winning streak.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: But that's how the crazy the season has been because
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: it didn't even feel like we deserved it.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: That was just to get us out of our hole.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it needs to happen again then, and that's
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: that's what we're going to require. So it is definitely
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: going to be a tea is for Tall Time.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: That's what I was going to say that.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: I think you worded that perfectly with tall Task, because
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: it does seem like I agree with you.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: They have the talent. I just want to I.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Maybe they can remember what it was like when they
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: had that eight game win streak.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Who knows.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you face the A's. Well, the Diamondbacks have turned
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: out to be pretty good this year, and the Mets's
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: that's who you got those eight wins against. A little
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: bit different this time, Yeah, it's a lot different Yankees.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Astro's playing really well right now and the Brewers the
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: best team record wise in the entire sport. Tall Task
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: us for unsigned. As of this morning, Paul Seawald is unsigned,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: which means he can be claimed off of waivers. Paul Seawald,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: of course, had a nice run here with the Seattle Mariners,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: was our closer for a stretch of time and has
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: had some success since he left with the Arizona Diamondbacks
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: just this year, twenty four saves this year for the
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Arizona Diamondbacks. And yet, yeah, yesterday he was released by
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks. And he's not some spring chicken. He is
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: thirty six years old, for goodness sake, and he has
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: a six point two to three ERA. So the Diamondbacks,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: a team that is in the playoff in playoff position
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: right now, did not have a role for Seawald. He
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: has been struggling even more as of late, and they
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: let him go. So would I sign him? Yes, I
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: think that the organization should. With the relief pitching woes
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: that have popped up here recently, Bizardo and Ferreer particularly,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: We're going to get Gabe spyerback starting tonight, but let's
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: add Seawald. I mean, let's add him now. He was
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: someone that thought his career was shipwrecked until he met
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Pete Woodworth, And at first thought Pete Woodworth was the
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: biggest dope on the planet. What do you mean you
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: want me to keep throwing in this one location with
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: my worst pitch. The data shows that that's where you're
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: most effective. And I don't think you should throw anything else.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: You're an idiot, But I'll try it. And then he
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: goes off and has a successful run with us. So
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Pete Woodworth is Paul Sewald's whisperer, and so yeah, I
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: mean we're at the point for desperation at this point.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: And frankly, the numbers with Paul Seawald, he's been terrible
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: against lefties. He still has great numbers against right handers
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: one sixty one, batting average against two oh six, on
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: base against slugging three eighty seven and under six hundred
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: ops against right handers. Yeah, maybe we don't want him
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: necessarily pitching against the Yankees, who are gonna throw eight
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: left handed hitters at us in the starting lineup for
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the next three days. But maybe by the time we
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: face the Houston Astros, I think I'd like to have
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Paul Seewald on this roster.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: I would like to have him. Plus, if you're going
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: with what the Mariners like.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: To do, which is good, guys, I mean He's a
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: good guy who seemed to really.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Enjoy being a Mariner.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: I remember when he got sent to Arizona and they
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: showed him in the dugout watching the Mariners and just
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: looking like sad. Oh those are my friends and I
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: won't be with them. So reunite Paul with his friends.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Maybe he'll be the spark we need. They'll be so
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: excited to see him in the clubhouse. They'll say, we're
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: never gonna lose again.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Well it's a lot to ask. Well, yeah, a lot
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: to ask. I'll just say this, it wouldn't hurt, can't hurt.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, whoever you will, whoever you send down to
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Tacoma to add Paul Sewald, I have a feeling we
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: won't miss all right, vias for vendigate vindication. Man, I gotta,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I gotta admit this. Look. I think what I saw
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: from JP Crawford look like a guy this year that
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: was on his last leg as a major major league contributor.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: To me, he just didn't look like a starting shortstop
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: for a playoff team, and he didn't look like a
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: starting third baseman for a playoff team. House pretty hard
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: on JP Crawford this year, but a fella, and I
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: hope your research is accurate, Brad, because I'm gonna use
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: you and I don't know who you are, but Bradley
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Davis is his name, and he sent out on Twitter
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: this statistic, which I did not realize. This was eye
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: opening for me, especially somebody that's been hard on JP
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: this year. The Mariners with JP Crawford and the lineup
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: this year are forty four and thirty nine. Not great,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: but that's a winning record, not just a winning record,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: that's a playoff record in the American League this year
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: and twelve and twenty four without him.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: My god, just have him stand out there.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, the player I see does not make that
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: kind of difference, And it's hard to believe that his
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: leadership is so much more valuable when he's in the
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: lineup than when he's in the dugout that you would
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: have that dramatic of a swing and winning percentage. That said,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: you can't ignore it either. So if I was a
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: little hard on JP this year, I think my reasons
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: are warranted. But it's not like cold Emerson's light in
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the world on fire. I think Cold Emerson's gonna be
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: fabulous for this organization and he definitely gives us more
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: range at shortstop, but he's not hitting better than what
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: JP was hitting, and he's watching a few of the
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: routine plays at shortstop as well, So I think maybe, yeah,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: when's JP get back? And I don't think that it
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: crushes Colt Emerson's spirit to have JP go back to
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: shortstop and Colt's coming off the bench. I don't know
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: if we have sent him down to Ta Coma or
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: if you have a rotation like Ryan Heay suggested at
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: one point between Donovan, Colt and JP at shortstop and
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: third It doesn't make sense to me that he would
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: be worth two hundred winning percentage points just by being
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: on the field, especially the way he's played this year.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: But my goodness, I'm not gonna stare at those statistics
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: and ignore them. Let's get JP back in the damn
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: lineup for goodness.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just don't have him hit leadoff?
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, okay, there's my compromise. There we go.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Good job, thanks well, teamwork.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just don't have him hit lead off, that's all
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: we ask. Yeah, put them on the field, shortstop, third base, whatever,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and have him hit eighth or nine.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Yep, done.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I can live with that I can live with that
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: as a compromise. All right, coming up next on the program,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: something that I just think is true Sports Radio ninety
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: three point three kJ R f M. All right, checking
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Ashley with you. Coming up at eight o'clock. By the way,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: brand new feature. I mean, we talked to our people
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: and they were all about calling it mirror Mirror. We
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: had T shirts printed up, We got a major motion
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: picture that's getting ready to come out, and then we
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: had to change it to the last second to magic
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Mirror because of Disney. But a brand new segment I'm
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: introducing here at eight o'clock. We'll see how it goes.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: But the idea about it is that I think I
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: have been a pretty good spokesman for those that want
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Dan Wilson out as manager, and so I want to
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: hear from those that want to give me reasons for
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: why he should stay. That's what I'm looking for. I
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: want to be the fairest of them all. Don't you
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: see magic Mirror on the wall. So at eight o'clock,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I'm asking for your texts, your YouTube responses, your talkbacks
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: at ninety three to three khr dot com. Hell, I
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: don't know, I might even put a phone call or
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: two in there into the conversation as well. But we
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: debut Magic Mirror coming up at eight o'clock. And again
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for a concise one thing. I don't want
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: a mountain of things. I want us to go one
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: step at a time with this one thing. Give me
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: one reason why the anti Dan Wilson people are wrong
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: on this and why he should stay. So that's what
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: I want to hear at eight o'clock.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: I look forward to seeing if people can come up
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: with reasons.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, okay, I'm sure we've got some. Right, We've
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: got some okay, good good, good good. And there, Look
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: there's an argument there. There's certainly an argument there. I
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: think there's an absolute argument there. But I just I
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: want to go through it point by point. In the meantime,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: understand that sometimes I get a little grumpy, and I
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: understand Ashley, Why I do I think something changed in COVID.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I really do something changed about me. I don't think
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: it's necessarily just age, but I think we do tend
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: to get grumpier as we get older, that's for sure.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: But now I know I'm not the only one. I
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: am convinced people are just grumpier just across the board.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I really am. I'm going to give you a great
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: example because I came to work today and I wasn't
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: in a terribly foul mood. I was excited about being
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: back in the studio. And there have been times where
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what somebody does on the road, I'm
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: going to be angry with him. I mean, they could
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: be just driving perfectly reasonably in the right appropriate lane,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: but if it's stopping me from getting where I want
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: to go, I'm angry. That's just grumpy right.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: There, Like the semi truck I was behind today. You're
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: doing your job. I understand you're supposed to be slower,
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: but why do I have to go twenty two miles
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: an hour behind you?
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: So I show up to work actually in a good mood,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing Ashley, looking forward to doing the
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: show in the studio. We got a lot of good
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: topics and introducing magic Mirror today. We got all this
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: stuff going on, and I get in the elevator with
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: someone I've never seen before, and he's a younger man,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: so we didn't even have this excuse to use in
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: his back pocket of being older, and he was number one,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: irritated that I was.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: There, Oh, how dare you be in an elevator number two?
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: He pressed the button and it was like, that's my elevator.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: He kind of carried that, and then he literally made
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: a noise and shook his head when he saw that
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: I pressed four because he wanted to go to two,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: not that that was going to stop him from where
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: he was going. He stopped first, but he was annoyed
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: that I had pressed the button. And I wasn't even
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: angry with this younger man. He wasn't a young man,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: but he was younger than I was. I wasn't even angry,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: you know why. I just chalked it up to man,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: it's not just me. This is actually a good moment
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: for me. I thought I was just becoming grumpier. I
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: think the whole world has become grumpier because there is
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: no reason why this person should be this angry over
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: those little trifling things, and yet he is, and he
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: just made my day.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Grumpy, younger man, it's not just a ub A lot
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: of people, not me.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: I think everybody's grumpier these days.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: I would agree, And I think it's because everything's more
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: expensive and everybody's in more of a hurry, and.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: I mean all these things.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: It's just like you just end up being more irritated
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: in life than you were. It sounds like time is precious,
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: but everyone's in a hurry, and then you're just you know,
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: go go, go, go, going all the time, and we
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: don't have as much time anymore to just sit and
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: smell the roses.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: This guy seemed to I mean his behavior, and I
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: don't think I was reading into it because I was
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: in a perfectly good mood. I was not in a
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: foul mood. He was in a foul mood, but his
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: behavior was suggesting like it is so early, I'm tired.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Why am I in here? Why is there another human
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: being awake? Yeah? Right now? Why on earth is he
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: riding my elevator? And why is he making me feel
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: like I'm stopping him from getting to his floor on time?
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: F that guy?
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he shouldn't push us floor till after I get out.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Right, don't make me feel like I'm delaying you. Yeah,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I'm angry. Yeah, so, I I know like I already
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: had a little bit of an edge to me, as
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: you might have told over the ears, already had a
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: little edge to me. But I know that like COVID
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: made me grumpier because COVID made me like view the
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: world through the eyes of a sick person, as I
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: live with someone who's not altogether well in a lot
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: of different ways, but she's not well. So I had
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: to like people that now sneeze without covering their mouth
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: or cough without company, that now bothers me or I
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: don't think that it did before.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: I think that bothers a lot more people than it
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: used to.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: COVID. Yeah, I think COVID did that to us. So
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: that's just one example. Driving, I don't know. I think
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be angry at everybody on the road
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: except myself, and I'm probably making a lot of mistakes
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: that are making others angry. I think I'm perfect as
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: a driver, but I don't know. I can't get rid
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: of that grumpy bug. But man, when you get done
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: driving and then you get into work and you got
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: a guy that got angry with you three times on
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: an elevator that you don't even know, it dawns on you.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: It's not just me. Yes, everybody is a grumpy son.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: Of a You know, what do you ever do the
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: thing where you leave work and you go to the
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: grocery store or you go to get something and the
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: place is crowded, and you're.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Like, do these people not have to work? Why are
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: you all here? Like, I know I have weird hours.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: How is it that you all have weird hours?
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: A thousand percent get jobs? And the amount of times
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: that I get grumpy and I don't say anything, I
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: just want you know, I don't say anything, and I
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: certainly don't do anything. Yeah, But the amount of times
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: I get frustrated with little old women. Do you know
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: how many times that I have to like, your mom
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: is probably frustrating somebody else right now in a store somewhere,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: are on the road somewhere. But the amount of times
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: in a grocery store that I am angry at a
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: sweet little old woman for being on the wrong side
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: of the aisle or in front of the peanuts, or
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: whatever the case might.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Be, and having no clue anyone else is there.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: I really got to check myself out. I have to
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: walk away, like, would you stop getting angry at little
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: old women? And then thirteen seconds later I'll be angry
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: with another little old woman.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: They got I mean you know what they had it coming.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Damn you with all your sweetness to your grand children.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: Life away from my peanuts.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the golden age, my sweet delayed peanut wanting ass.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, you're not your fault.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Ah, I know I am. But here's the thing. This
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: is what I learned this morning, and it made this
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: grumpy man very happy. You're all grumpier. Yeah, I think
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: we're all grumpyer. Even you get grumpy about things that
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised you're grumpy at. And then and that that
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: kind of catches me off. Card But then I got
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: to remember, well you, I myself get grumpy at things
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: that Ashley doesn't think I should be grumpy about. And
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: and yet I do get grumpy. And I think she
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: gets grumpy with me. I think for being grumpy at
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: things she doesn't think I should be grumpy about.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: That just wasn't mind right. Yeah, Yes, I'm just gonna say, yes.
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: Is true?
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: What just happened?
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I think it's true. So yeah, I don't know, I
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: hear you. Yeah, So thanks, elevator guy. You're the grumpiest
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: person I met today, and you meet which means I'm
