- 1:26Speaker 2: mean once you're to seventy, you're almost to eighty, and
- 1:29Speaker 2: at that point run for the hills.
- 1:31Speaker 1: At that point it's sweltering, soul.

- 2:03Speaker 2: Did you have a good Fourth of July holiday weekend?
- 2:06Speaker 3: I did have a good Fourth of July holiday weekend.
- 2:08Speaker 3: Went over to a friend's house for a barbecue.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Good.
- 2:11Speaker 1: The kids all went swimming.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Good.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Get them out of your hair, yep they were. Yeah,
- 2:15Speaker 1: we didn't have to worry about them.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Oh, not at all. It's just kids in a pool.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Just kids in a pool.
- 2:20Speaker 2: You can nothing's ever gone wrong there.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Just look away.
- 2:24Speaker 3: And then I went over to my mum's and watched
- 2:27Speaker 3: the fireworks on TV with her.
- 2:29Speaker 2: Good huh.
- 2:30Speaker 1: And then yesterday played in the golf tournament all day.
- 2:32Speaker 2: How does mom feel about fourth of July, her being
- 2:36Speaker 2: the loser and all right, and the whole war for independance.
- 2:40Speaker 3: I've actually been over to England for the Fourth of July.
- 2:43Speaker 3: They celebrated as well, because it's the day they got
- 2:45Speaker 3: rid of us, Is that right?
- 2:46Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, I'll never forget. I showed up at
- 2:50Speaker 2: a and he was a patriot, I'll give him that,
- 2:53Speaker 2: and the first time I'd ever met him. But it
- 2:55Speaker 2: was a friend of a friend's dad and I got
- 2:58Speaker 2: invited to this party and it's their big Orth of
- 3:00Speaker 2: July blowout and the dad is a big part of that. Like,
- 3:03Speaker 2: it wasn't just the kids. The dad's at the center
- 3:05Speaker 2: of it, all right. And I show I wasn't even
- 3:07Speaker 2: thinking and I had a London T shirt on, wasn't
- 3:10Speaker 2: even thinking, gosh, And of course he said something immediately
- 3:16Speaker 2: and never really was kind to me the rest of
- 3:19Speaker 2: the day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was good looking shirt, Yeah,
- 3:22Speaker 2: very good looking.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Sure, wonder what happened to it.
- 3:25Speaker 2: I think maybe he did take it off and burn
- 3:27Speaker 2: it if I remember.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, well that never mind exactly.
- 3:33Speaker 2: But anyway, it.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Was your Fourth of July weekend.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Good. It was really subdued. I actually have a dilemma
- 3:41Speaker 2: that maybe you and the listeners can help me with
- 3:43Speaker 2: a little bit later on. It's very similar to what
- 3:45Speaker 2: FIFA is going through. Oh and I'm going through it
- 3:48Speaker 2: in my life as well, And so maybe we can
- 3:51Speaker 2: help each other. Oute maybe if we run it through
- 3:54Speaker 2: one prism, we can. We can want run one problem
- 3:58Speaker 2: through the old meat grinder's and then maybe on the
- 4:01Speaker 2: other side we will have solved both problems.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be a treat?
- 4:04Speaker 2: Or maybe will be even more lost and confounded because
- 4:10Speaker 2: we don't know what to do. They don't know what
- 4:13Speaker 2: to do, and we don't know what to think. Okay,
- 4:16Speaker 2: and that's kind of where I am with my weekend
- 4:20Speaker 2: dilemma that I had as well. So hopefully one hand
- 4:23Speaker 2: will wash the other. We'll find out during the course
- 4:26Speaker 2: of the show today. But I don't want to start
- 4:28Speaker 2: with that. I don't want to lead with that. I
- 4:30Speaker 2: think we got to jump in with both feet on
- 4:33Speaker 2: this balligan controversy that has taken place the US plays tonight.
- 4:39Speaker 2: You can hear that action right here at Sports Radio
- 4:41Speaker 2: ninety three point three KHRFM. Chance to get in to
- 4:45Speaker 2: the Elite eight, we will have two experts joining us
- 4:49Speaker 2: here today to lend their expertise. Brad Evans going to
- 4:53Speaker 2: join us at nine. Stretch is going to join us
- 4:55Speaker 2: at seven oh five. Can't wait to talk to both
- 4:57Speaker 2: of them about everything that's going I did spend the
- 5:03Speaker 2: more time watching soccer than I ever have in my
- 5:06Speaker 2: life over the week, and there were some really intriguing
- 5:08Speaker 2: matchups that we can possibly get into as well. But
- 5:12Speaker 2: then you get the update slash text slash story that
- 5:18Speaker 2: breaks that you want to feel great about, and you
- 5:22Speaker 2: can't feel great about it because of the reaction that
- 5:29Speaker 2: the soccer world, which is a strange place. I'm sorry,
- 5:33Speaker 2: it's just a strange place to visit. It's a weird planet,
- 5:37Speaker 2: and I realized that those on that planet love it,
- 5:40Speaker 2: don't apologize for it. Yeah, you know, this is the
- 5:43Speaker 2: way we do things, whether they're screwy or not. But
- 5:47Speaker 2: as somebody that just was kind of circling the planet
- 5:50Speaker 2: and decided to touch down and see what you had
- 5:52Speaker 2: to offer, Taste the soil, see if you got water, air,
- 5:55Speaker 2: I can breathe, it's kind of strange. There's some things
- 5:59Speaker 2: that you do that are weird, and maybe you don't
- 6:01Speaker 2: think they're weird, but they're weird, right, and then they
- 6:04Speaker 2: rear their ugly head. And if it wasn't for your
- 6:08Speaker 2: strange rules, we wouldn't be in this boat. But here
- 6:11Speaker 2: I am on a Monday morning feeling as an American
- 6:15Speaker 2: that I owe an apology to the rest of the
- 6:17Speaker 2: world for something that is has been course corrected in
- 6:22Speaker 2: the right place. Right. But Baaligan should have never been suspended.
- 6:28Speaker 2: It was ridiculous that he was. There was no way
- 6:32Speaker 2: that that infraction of going after a ball and inadvertently
- 6:36Speaker 2: stepping on the ankle of another player in a sport
- 6:39Speaker 2: where all players get their ankles stepped on continuously and
- 6:43Speaker 2: they all act like they've been murdered when it occurs.
- 6:46Speaker 2: And so we got we got a fake victim. And
- 6:51Speaker 2: I know on a real on a real injurious looking play.
- 6:56Speaker 2: I'm not making a light of that, but he obviously
- 6:59Speaker 2: plays it up. They all do. Meryl Streep should be
- 7:01Speaker 2: so good at acting. And so we have that scenario. Everybody,
- 7:07Speaker 2: every analyst agrees, whether you're from America or England or Paraguay.
- 7:12Speaker 2: Everybody agreed at the time that that was not worthy
- 7:16Speaker 2: of a red card and that Balagan should not be
- 7:19Speaker 2: suspended for the next game, and everybody agreed that it's
- 7:22Speaker 2: a screwy rule in our sport that you cannot appeal
- 7:25Speaker 2: that in here one person that disagreed with that. Not
- 7:28Speaker 2: a single person either here or on national television or
- 7:33Speaker 2: international television. Not one person disagreed with that. And yet
- 7:38Speaker 2: when the ruling gets overturned and Baligan from FIFA gets
- 7:43Speaker 2: the green light to play tonight, America is cheating. We
- 7:49Speaker 2: should have known this whole experience was too good to
- 7:53Speaker 2: be true. Their president got involved, and now you've ruined
- 7:58Speaker 2: the entire team, the entire turn because even if you
- 8:01Speaker 2: win tonight, it doesn't matter your cheeters. And and I
- 8:05Speaker 2: don't want to hear anything else. Blah blah blah blah
- 8:07Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah, close my ears. Ah. How
- 8:11Speaker 2: does this? How did we end up here on a
- 8:14Speaker 2: Monday morning where I feel like I have to apologize
- 8:19Speaker 2: to the soccer world because justice was rightfully served and
- 8:23Speaker 2: Bawligan's cleared to play tonight.
- 8:25Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the unfortunate part is because yeah, none
- 8:28Speaker 3: of it should have happened in the first place. So
- 8:29Speaker 3: to get to where we are now, Yeah, it feels
- 8:32Speaker 3: a little dirty. I mean, yeah, that he's able to
- 8:36Speaker 3: play today, but he shouldn't have been able to or
- 8:39Speaker 3: he shouldn't have not been able to play. So that's
- 8:42Speaker 3: where it's like, well, yeah, I don't like the way
- 8:44Speaker 3: this has come around that, eh, but at least it's
- 8:49Speaker 3: corrected in the place where it should have been in
- 8:52Speaker 3: the first place, and the rest of the soccer world
- 8:54Speaker 3: should see that. And I think had this situation not
- 8:57Speaker 3: gone this way, had the president not seen in had
- 9:01Speaker 3: nobody would care because everybody saw that he shouldn't have
- 9:04Speaker 3: gotten the red cart in the first place.
- 9:06Speaker 1: And so I don't know.
- 9:07Speaker 3: I'm with you, though it does feel like, yeah, we
- 9:09Speaker 3: have to apologize for something that is the way now
- 9:13Speaker 3: how it should have been in the first place.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Not only do I feel like I I don't feel
- 9:18Speaker 2: like I have to apologize, it feels like it feels
- 9:23Speaker 2: like it's required of us. Yeah, we're supposed to feel
- 9:26Speaker 2: guilty about this, He like, right on my drive in
- 9:31Speaker 2: as I'm knowing that I'm gonna have to talk about
- 9:34Speaker 2: this for the better part of a four hour radio show,
- 9:37Speaker 2: and I'm gonna have to have two soccer experts, of
- 9:39Speaker 2: which neither you or I are soccer experts and trying
- 9:43Speaker 2: to figure out like, Okay, how do I really really
- 9:46Speaker 2: feel about this? And I'm I'll be honest, like the
- 9:51Speaker 2: thought that crossed my mind most frequently that I had
- 9:54Speaker 2: to talk myself out up. I got a thirty minute
- 9:56Speaker 2: drive and I probably I ended here seven times and
- 10:01Speaker 2: had to talk myself out of it. And the place
- 10:03Speaker 2: that I ended up as I don't even want him
- 10:05Speaker 2: to play. I don't want him to play. I don't
- 10:07Speaker 2: want that to be an excuse. I don't want It's
- 10:10Speaker 2: been too good of a tournament. The US has looked
- 10:13Speaker 2: too great throughout all of this as a country, as
- 10:16Speaker 2: a team, as a soccer program, as a growing soccer power.
- 10:21Speaker 2: It's just been too good. And even though I thought
- 10:24Speaker 2: it was BS that he got the red card and
- 10:28Speaker 2: there's no appeal process, both of those things are BS right.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Absolutely, I.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Driving in had talked myself into seven times. I don't
- 10:38Speaker 2: even want him to play. Let's just not have him played.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Poach just needs to make a decision he's not gonna play,
- 10:44Speaker 2: and then we'll beat them without him, and then he
- 10:47Speaker 2: gets activated for the next match and we'll be fine.
- 10:51Speaker 2: But then I would drive another half mile I'm like, ol, crap, Yeah,
- 10:55Speaker 2: why should I feel this way? Why should any American
- 10:58Speaker 2: have to feel this way? He earned the right to play, right,
- 11:01Speaker 2: You're taking away his chance to play over something that
- 11:06Speaker 2: was not maliciously done, something that happens fifty times in
- 11:12Speaker 2: a match. You're going for a ball and your foot
- 11:16Speaker 2: makes contact with another person's foot slash ankle. Yeah, MESSI
- 11:21Speaker 2: did it Saturday.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, and that's I think the
- 11:23Speaker 3: second time he's done it.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Yeah, he hasn't gotten called for.
- 11:26Speaker 2: It, and he didn't get he's not gotten called for it. Yeah,
- 11:30Speaker 2: but our arguably best player has to miss a match
- 11:35Speaker 2: for a bad call, and we went into the weekend
- 11:39Speaker 2: I think as a country, Okay, I don't like these rules.
- 11:43Speaker 2: They seem silly, but if that's the rule, that's the rule.
- 11:47Speaker 2: So we'll play without him. And then you get the
- 11:52Speaker 2: news alert that he's been cleared to play, and I'm
- 11:55Speaker 2: telling you, it was like immediately like oh no, instead
- 11:59Speaker 2: of yeah, yeah, which I think we should all be
- 12:02Speaker 2: able to say, Yes, justice has been served. Somebody came
- 12:05Speaker 2: to their senses. Yes, he should have never been suspended
- 12:09Speaker 2: in the first place. But my reaction yesterday was Oh, No,
- 12:14Speaker 2: that was my reaction.
- 12:15Speaker 3: Yeah, mine was, Yeah, because I didn't know all that
- 12:18Speaker 3: had gone on to get him to be able to
- 12:20Speaker 3: play again.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Well, we still don't know all that had gone I hadn't.
- 12:24Speaker 1: All I saw was that they'd overturned.
- 12:26Speaker 3: I thought they just came to their senses, which is
- 12:28Speaker 3: so weird because FIFA is a little nuts.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I thought, oh, but they figured it out.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Good for them.
- 12:34Speaker 2: I mean, how do we know how much our president
- 12:37Speaker 2: was involved in the decision. He certainly looked like he
- 12:40Speaker 2: was trying to take credit for it. Yeah, So I'll
- 12:42Speaker 2: say that. Yeah, but then that's on FIFA, right, And
- 12:49Speaker 2: at this point, everybody on this planet that we've decided
- 12:54Speaker 2: to explore, some of us that don't never even wanted
- 12:57Speaker 2: to be an astronaut, Yeah, have decided to explore here
- 13:01Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks this planet World Cup. We've
- 13:04Speaker 2: all known that you've got a corrupt organization that's been
- 13:07Speaker 2: running it for pretty much its entire existence. So America
- 13:12Speaker 2: benefits from this, and we're supposed to feel bad about it.
- 13:18Speaker 2: I have to drive in as a talk show host
- 13:20Speaker 2: and talk myself into being excited about our best player
- 13:25Speaker 2: who should have never been suspended getting the chance to
- 13:27Speaker 2: play tonight and help our cause to get to the
- 13:30Speaker 2: next round of the World Cup. I got to feel
- 13:33Speaker 2: that way, and I'm still stuck, not sure what I
- 13:38Speaker 2: want to happen tonight. There's still a part of me
- 13:41Speaker 2: that wants him out. I don't want him to play
- 13:44Speaker 2: because I don't want that to tarnish or taint this
- 13:47Speaker 2: tremendous experience that we've had impressing the world. Again, It's
- 13:52Speaker 2: been a long time since we've impressed the world as
- 13:55Speaker 2: much as we've impressed the world with not just our
- 13:58Speaker 2: soccer team, that's my story, but the way that we've hosted,
- 14:03Speaker 2: the great time that people have had here, the realization
- 14:06Speaker 2: that the globe has had, like America's pretty cool now,
- 14:10Speaker 2: all of that, and now all of a sudden, we're
- 14:12Speaker 2: at the center of this. Oh you're yeah, just reminded
- 14:16Speaker 2: us you're the villains. Why Because FIFA came to its
- 14:21Speaker 2: senses and allowed a guy that should have never been
- 14:25Speaker 2: suspended the chance to play in the most important match
- 14:29Speaker 2: of his entire life, which he worked his entire life
- 14:32Speaker 2: to be able to achieve. Is it more fair that
- 14:35Speaker 2: he's sitting on the sidelines tonight, you know, watching potentially
- 14:40Speaker 2: his team lose without him and get ousted from the
- 14:43Speaker 2: World Cup. Is that fair? Does that sound like the
- 14:46Speaker 2: type of world you want to live in? Is that
- 14:49Speaker 2: the type of league you want to follow, club you
- 14:51Speaker 2: want to follow, tournament that you want to follow. And
- 14:55Speaker 2: yet I kind of lean like fifty two point seven
- 14:59Speaker 2: percent toward him not playing tonight. I'd rather not play
- 15:03Speaker 2: because I think we can beat Belgium without him, and
- 15:05Speaker 2: I'd just like to do without. I don't want it
- 15:07Speaker 2: to be a hollow victory. I don't want to get
- 15:09Speaker 2: to the end of it and have people throughout the
- 15:12Speaker 2: globe saying America cheats, their president got involved. I don't
- 15:16Speaker 2: want any of that. And yet, for Balligan, I feel
- 15:21Speaker 2: like I should be excited for him, for the team,
- 15:25Speaker 2: I should be excited for them, and for America, I
- 15:29Speaker 2: don't want to push out their best chance to do
- 15:32Speaker 2: something special in a World Cup really for the first
- 15:36Speaker 2: time in history. So I don't know. I'm a bit
- 15:40Speaker 2: of a crossroads right now on what I'm rooting for
- 15:43Speaker 2: to happen the rest of the day.
- 15:45Speaker 3: And I think you're describing it really well, because yeah,
- 15:47Speaker 3: it is this whole you're torn of. I mean, I
- 15:51Speaker 3: think the ideal situation would be they don't need to
- 15:53Speaker 3: play him, they win, move on. I mean I don't
- 15:55Speaker 3: think I know right that they don't start him and
- 15:58Speaker 3: then if they need him they can put him in.
- 16:00Speaker 1: But I don't think they're going to do that.
- 16:01Speaker 3: Nor should they, because he, as we said, has earned
- 16:04Speaker 3: the right to be there. So all of this came
- 16:08Speaker 3: about from from FIFA and the VAR, the VAR making
- 16:12Speaker 3: the wrong call in the first place. And now it's
- 16:14Speaker 3: fixed and it is as it should be. And yet somehow, yeah,
- 16:18Speaker 3: we feel bad about it, and we shouldn't.
- 16:20Speaker 2: I don't think he's as important as so I want
- 16:23Speaker 2: I'm gonna change it because I was going to make
- 16:25Speaker 2: a Sam Donald comparison. Let's say that there's not a
- 16:28Speaker 2: player on it. He's not as valuable to our team
- 16:33Speaker 2: as Sam Darnald a quarterback, starting quarterback is. You know,
- 16:37Speaker 2: for the Super Bowl, let's say it's JSN. Well, you
- 16:40Speaker 2: know that we would be celebrating if JSN got activated. Yep,
- 16:44Speaker 2: when we thought he wasn't going to be able to
- 16:45Speaker 2: play for a bull crap reason, we would be celebrating that.
- 16:49Speaker 2: So but because I'm a visitor to this world. I
- 16:55Speaker 2: want to you know, I don't want to put my
- 16:58Speaker 2: feet up on the couch, right, I don't. I want
- 17:00Speaker 2: to wear my shoes. I want to make sure that
- 17:02Speaker 2: when I take my shoe when I enter the house,
- 17:04Speaker 2: is this a shoes off house? Because I want to
- 17:07Speaker 2: trapes on your floor any outdoor kunk. You know. When
- 17:12Speaker 2: I'm done in the restroom, I want to make sure
- 17:14Speaker 2: that I left it as clean as when I went
- 17:17Speaker 2: in there. That's how I'm operating. I'm this is your world.
- 17:22Speaker 2: I'm just a visitor to it, and I don't know
- 17:24Speaker 2: if I'll ever be back again.
- 17:26Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I want to make sure that I can
- 17:28Speaker 3: be Yeah.
- 17:29Speaker 2: So that's kind of the way I'm operating. If I
- 17:32Speaker 2: was in a more comfortable world, I think i'd be like, absolutely,
- 17:36Speaker 2: justice prevailed, Let's go jsn's ready should have never been suspended.
- 17:41Speaker 2: Let's go Hawks, Let's beat the forty nine ers by
- 17:44Speaker 2: thirty again. I think that's how I would feel. But
- 17:47Speaker 2: in this particular arena, it's just different. It's weird. It's
- 17:52Speaker 2: foreign to me, and I don't know if I should
- 17:56Speaker 2: be rooting for justice or not. Should I be rooting
- 18:00Speaker 2: for the flawed ruling that took place prior to yesterday.
- 18:09Speaker 2: I'm not sure how to feel. Yeah, I'm and I'm
- 18:12Speaker 2: really gonna laying on stretching Brad to guide me in
- 18:15Speaker 2: the direction that I should be this morning.
- 18:18Speaker 1: I think that's a good way to go. And I
- 18:19Speaker 1: do think too.
- 18:20Speaker 3: With the NFL, the nice thing about them is we
- 18:22Speaker 3: have a process. There is an appeal process. You follow
- 18:25Speaker 3: the process, you know, and you know what's gonna happen.
- 18:28Speaker 3: That's what kind of That's what makes this feel dirty
- 18:30Speaker 3: is the fact that there's no appeal, but then all
- 18:33Speaker 3: of a sudden, the day before.
- 18:34Speaker 2: The match, there's an appeal.
- 18:35Speaker 1: There's an appeal.
- 18:36Speaker 2: That's weird. And by the way, Belgium has appealed. So
- 18:40Speaker 2: Belgium has an appeal in as we speak, so who
- 18:43Speaker 2: knows it? Yeah, they could reverse it. By the time
- 18:47Speaker 2: that we play the match tonight at five o'clock, we
- 18:49Speaker 2: could find out again that Baligan's not available to play. Yep, crazy,

- 19:26Speaker 2: seven oh five. Balligan as of now, is scheduled to
- 19:29Speaker 2: play Go Flow yesterday. Last night, man, I mean, like
- 19:34Speaker 2: I said, I've not watched a lot of soccer in
- 19:36Speaker 2: my life. Saturday's Argentina match was terrific, yeah, and then
- 19:42Speaker 2: last night that was I mean, the broadcasters racking like
- 19:46Speaker 2: it is the best match that has ever been played.
- 19:49Speaker 2: I don't have any point of reference for that, yeah,
- 19:51Speaker 2: But I will say this, I have not watched a
- 19:56Speaker 2: lot of soccer matches from beginning to end, and I
- 19:59Speaker 2: watch to that one. It kept my attention from beginning
- 20:03Speaker 2: to end. So it was thrilling. And I will also
- 20:06Speaker 2: say this, and I gotta find this out. I don't
- 20:10Speaker 2: know what I'm looking at. I'm not an expert in
- 20:12Speaker 2: this field, but I get I hear all of this
- 20:15Speaker 2: praise on MESSI and Bape and Holland. To me, they
- 20:20Speaker 2: just look like glorified cherry pickers. That Bellingham, yeah, he's
- 20:25Speaker 2: good dude. To me, that looks like the best soccer
- 20:28Speaker 2: player in the world, because he was like kicking balls
- 20:31Speaker 2: away on defense too. He wasn't just sitting there waiting
- 20:34Speaker 2: for somebody to pass him the ball so he could score.
- 20:37Speaker 2: He was all over the field the entire match. To me,
- 20:40Speaker 2: he looked like the best player by far in that
- 20:44Speaker 2: match last night, and the best one that I've seen period.
- 20:48Speaker 2: But I might be a fool. I don't know.
- 20:50Speaker 3: I mean, unfortunately when it comes to soccer. I think
- 20:52Speaker 3: we're both fools. So I can't tell you if you're.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Right or not.
- 20:55Speaker 2: So England House Mexico. It was quite the setting too.
- 21:00Speaker 2: They put on a show last night and asked Teca
- 21:02Speaker 2: Norway pillages Brazil yesterday. So they advanced as well today,
- 21:08Speaker 2: not just US Belgium. As a matter of fact, globally,
- 21:11Speaker 2: I mean, you don't get a much better rivalry than this.
- 21:15Speaker 2: Portugal and Spain. Go check your globe. They're pretty much
- 21:19Speaker 2: right next to one another. They are.
- 21:22Speaker 3: I was going to say, yeah, which I could say,
- 21:25Speaker 3: they really are.
- 21:26Speaker 2: They're right next to each other, and so that's going
- 21:29Speaker 2: to be one hell of a match today at noon.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Wimbledon continues. It will end on Sunday, so one more
- 21:35Speaker 2: week at Wimbledon. The Lebron watch continues. He has not
- 21:40Speaker 2: chosen his next destination, but he was home partying with
- 21:45Speaker 2: his high school buddies, and Akron I like that about him.
- 21:49Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I know a lot of people can't stand
- 21:51Speaker 2: Lebron James, but I love that he's still connected to
- 21:54Speaker 2: his hometown, his high school buddies, and there's video of
- 21:58Speaker 2: him at a dumpy bar drunk. I think that's great.
- 22:03Speaker 2: That he's not so cool that he can't go back
- 22:07Speaker 2: and hang out at a dive bar with his high
- 22:09Speaker 2: school buddies and be the one that's embarrassing. I think
- 22:12Speaker 2: that's kind of funny.
- 22:13Speaker 1: I would agree, Hey, Goldon have to go to some
- 22:15Speaker 1: fancy place.
- 22:17Speaker 2: We are nineteen days away from Seahawks training camp, believe
- 22:20Speaker 2: it or not, and we have a baseball team that
- 22:22Speaker 2: has all of a sudden decided to play well. They've
- 22:25Speaker 2: won five of their last six, including their victory yesterday
- 22:29Speaker 2: at home to rally against Toronto and take the series.
- 22:33Speaker 2: We have Mariners morning after coming your way. Next on
- 22:36Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, the Mariners, they
- 22:40Speaker 2: did have one bump in the road this weekend, but
- 22:44Speaker 2: pretty much just smashed the Blue Jays the rest of
- 22:46Speaker 2: the way. Our pitching kind of wrestled them to the ground,
- 22:51Speaker 2: put our forearm on their throat, and then just kind
- 22:56Speaker 2: of choked them out. For two straight days. The Blue
- 22:59Speaker 2: Chase couldn't score many baby a holes.
- 23:07Speaker 1: That's right.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Mariners played Sunday looking to win the series. No piggyback, Ah,
- 23:16Speaker 2: that decision was made prior to Saturday, and so I'm
- 23:21Speaker 2: glad they didn't piggyback because Logan and Emerson were fantastic
- 23:26Speaker 2: without another person on their back in the in the
- 23:30Speaker 2: two contests. But Emerson just throwing zeros up on the board.
- 23:34Speaker 2: And of course Trey is Savage pitching for the Toronto
- 23:36Speaker 2: Blue Jays. We remember how much trouble he gave us
- 23:40Speaker 2: and the playoffs gave everyone in the playoffs a season ago.
- 23:44Speaker 2: But the Mariners do get on the board and the
- 23:46Speaker 2: third inning to take a one nothing lead on a
- 23:49Speaker 2: cal Raley sacrifice fly to score Victor Roeblace. And then
- 23:54Speaker 2: in the fourth inning, you know there are times where
- 23:57Speaker 2: I will tell you and I'm kind of trust that
- 24:01Speaker 2: you're going to trust me. Okay, there are times that
- 24:05Speaker 2: I have said where before something happens, I predicted that,
- 24:09Speaker 2: and there's no way of proving that. I can't prove
- 24:12Speaker 2: that stuff to you. And yet I've mentioned that a
- 24:16Speaker 2: few times in our ten years together. I will admit
- 24:20Speaker 2: and I'm asking you to trust me, and this I
- 24:23Speaker 2: think will help in that endeavor in the future. Because
- 24:27Speaker 2: when Mitch Garver came to the plate, when the runner
- 24:30Speaker 2: on and went out, here's what came out of my mouth. Oh,
- 24:33Speaker 2: this is a bad matchup for Mitch. He really has
- 24:38Speaker 2: no chance right here. Oh he's only playing because Cal
- 24:43Speaker 2: needs the day off and he's the backup catcher. But
- 24:46Speaker 2: Y Savage is not a good matchup for him. And
- 24:49Speaker 2: what does Mitch do.
- 24:52Speaker 4: Flow the flipfield that was crushed Mitch Garver's fourth home run.
- 25:03Speaker 4: Speaking on homers the Mariners, it's didn't the lead, it's
- 25:06Speaker 4: three to nothing.
- 25:11Speaker 2: We had to talk about Goldsmith and his agenda, But
- 25:16Speaker 2: for right now, Mitch Garver a two run homer, made
- 25:18Speaker 2: a three to nothing that was more than enough for
- 25:21Speaker 2: Mariners pitching yesterday as they go to a four go
- 25:25Speaker 2: on to a four to nothing win. Gab Spier, pitched
- 25:28Speaker 2: for the first time since nineteen eighty six, got the
- 25:31Speaker 2: job done in the eighth. And then Andre's Munoz, who
- 25:33Speaker 2: keeps having trouble all of a sudden with the first
- 25:36Speaker 2: batter that he faces and then locks in and is
- 25:39Speaker 2: perfectly fine. He closed it out even though it was
- 25:42Speaker 2: not a save opportunity. He's not getting a lot of
- 25:44Speaker 2: save opportunities when he comes into games, but at least
- 25:49Speaker 2: they're pitching him. That's right, four to nothing the final score.
- 25:52Speaker 2: So the Mariners do improve to forty seven and forty four,
- 25:56Speaker 2: having won five of their last six and two out
- 25:58Speaker 2: of three over the Blue Jay over the weekend, they
- 26:02Speaker 2: have jumped back into first place. They are a game
- 26:05Speaker 2: and a half up on the Texas Rangers right now
- 26:08Speaker 2: in the American League West. They have six games to
- 26:11Speaker 2: play before we get to the All Star breaks, so
- 26:14Speaker 2: fingers crossed, we're heading toward a strong finish. More on
- 26:17Speaker 2: that to the first half. More on that in a moment,
- 26:20Speaker 2: but first let's hear from Dan after a series win
- 26:23Speaker 2: over Toronto.
- 26:25Speaker 5: Excellent series win there, you know the way. First of all,
- 26:29Speaker 5: the energy in the ballpark this weekend was was outstanding
- 26:32Speaker 5: and it's always good to get home here and team Mobile,
- 26:35Speaker 5: but to feel the energy really all week you know,
- 26:37Speaker 5: first with the Angels series and then you know with
- 26:40Speaker 5: the Trinal series. It's always a big series when these
- 26:42Speaker 5: two teams come together. And you know, yesterday was you know,
- 26:46Speaker 5: kind of the one sided game, but you're always gonna
- 26:48Speaker 5: have close games with them for the most part, and
- 26:50Speaker 5: we were able to come out on top today to
- 26:52Speaker 5: win it. And you know, can't say enough about the
- 26:54Speaker 5: pitching this whole series. Really, pitching has been outstanding. And
- 27:00Speaker 5: Emerson today, wow, you know, just kept doing what he does.
- 27:04Speaker 5: You know, I thought he and garved with a great
- 27:06Speaker 5: game plan again today using his fastballs. You know, he
- 27:09Speaker 5: went to the curve ball early, got some swing and
- 27:11Speaker 5: miss on that, you know, through some sweepers, but it
- 27:15Speaker 5: really was a fastballs. They were being aggressive and kind
- 27:18Speaker 5: of playing into it to what he needed them to do,
- 27:20Speaker 5: which was you know, makeouts and we were able to
- 27:23Speaker 5: get deep pretty quickly, and you know, he just did
- 27:25Speaker 5: an outstanding job. Then turning it over to Gabe and Mooney,
- 27:29Speaker 5: those guys just slammed the door. You know, outstanding.
- 27:33Speaker 2: Yes, three shutouts in their last four games and then
- 27:37Speaker 2: they were shut out, so four we've had four straight
- 27:40Speaker 2: games in which there's been a shutout and we were
- 27:44Speaker 2: responsible for shutting the opponent out and three of those.
- 27:47Speaker 2: So get back home. There is a secret sauce, no
- 27:50Speaker 2: doubt at t Mobile with this pitching staff. They just
- 27:54Speaker 2: love this place and they performed all week and long.
- 27:58Speaker 2: It was very, very impressive from the team. And now
- 28:02Speaker 2: they get set to take on the Marlins and the
- 28:07Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Rays over the course of the next six days,
- 28:10Speaker 2: and that's not going to be any picnic. The Marlins
- 28:13Speaker 2: are pretty much out pitching everybody these days. That Uri
- 28:17Speaker 2: Perez had a perfect game through seven innings and they
- 28:20Speaker 2: took him out yesterday.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Who's managing that, Well, it's modern day baseball.
- 28:27Speaker 2: It's an injury plagued young starter who they don't want
- 28:32Speaker 2: to get outside of his comfort zone. But the entire
- 28:35Speaker 2: A's fan base both of them were chanting shame for
- 28:41Speaker 2: two straight innings the road. The home team was chanting
- 28:47Speaker 2: shame to the road manager for taking the pitcher out
- 28:51Speaker 2: of the game and depriving them the opportunity to see
- 28:54Speaker 2: a perfect game through them so, but that's beside the point.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Marlins are actually pretty good this year and the Rays
- 29:00Speaker 2: have the best record in the American League, so this
- 29:02Speaker 2: is not gonna be in an easy six games. But
- 29:06Speaker 2: these two teams aren't exactly the twenty seven Yankees either.
- 29:09Speaker 2: They have their own struggles with hitting the baseball, so
- 29:12Speaker 2: this should be a pitching war, I would think for
- 29:15Speaker 2: the next six days. Yeah, and.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Road trip to go into the All Star Break. They'll
- 29:20Speaker 3: be I think looking forward to that week off before
- 29:22Speaker 3: they get back to the second half the season, that's
- 29:24Speaker 3: for sure.
- 29:24Speaker 2: Yeah, it's coming, and there are a lot of things
- 29:26Speaker 2: to discuss Mariners baseball wise today. Unfortunately, I have four
- 29:34Speaker 2: really large annoyances uh oh that we're going to address
- 29:37Speaker 2: later on in the show. I mean it's five out
- 29:39Speaker 2: of six, should be happy, right, Yeah? Why am I
- 29:41Speaker 2: annoyed by a few things? So we're going to get
- 29:44Speaker 2: into that today at seven thirty. We'll also have abcs
- 29:48Speaker 2: of the MS today at nine to thirty. A lot
- 29:50Speaker 2: of good stuff to discuss today with the Mariners as well,
- 29:53Speaker 2: but coming up next well, it was the event of
- 29:56Speaker 2: our lifetimes and there's no way not to have a
- 30:00Speaker 2: really strong opinion about what went down at Madison Square
- 30:04Speaker 2: Garden on Friday night. I know, I'm a different man.
- 30:09Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 30:12Speaker 1: Yeah okay, and is this one of those things?
- 30:15Speaker 5: No?
- 30:16Speaker 2: Oh okay, Well we're gonna talk about it anyway. YEA,
- 30:19Speaker 2: headlines coming up at seven o'clock and stretch. Matt Johnson's
- 30:22Speaker 2: gonna join us at seven oh five and chatted with
- 30:25Speaker 2: him since our glorious hosting together during the Australia US match.
- 30:31Speaker 2: I cannot wait, honestly to get his opinions on some
- 30:34Speaker 2: of the stuff. So we're gonna be talking a lot
- 30:36Speaker 2: of soccer today, getting you ready for US Belgium tonight
- 30:39Speaker 2: at five o'clock. And of course controversy has struck, and
- 30:45Speaker 2: so we'll get his thoughts on everything really in the
- 30:48Speaker 2: soccer world at seven oh five. But what did you
- 30:51Speaker 2: think of the Friday Swift Kelsey extravaganza? Did it measure
- 30:58Speaker 2: your expectations?
- 31:00Speaker 3: I mean, probably if my expectations weren't very high. Yeah,
- 31:06Speaker 3: But it is funny. I found myself at one point
- 31:08Speaker 3: while I was working on Friday, watching the TMZ live
- 31:11Speaker 3: stream of people arriving to the wedding and then I
- 31:14Speaker 3: found to myself, why the f am I watching this?
- 31:17Speaker 3: They're literally just cars pulling in with tinted windows, and
- 31:21Speaker 3: I'm wasting my time, And so I turned it off
- 31:24Speaker 3: and went back to work.
- 31:26Speaker 2: Yeah. Normal. You know what's strange is I do like
- 31:30Speaker 2: them both, and I know that she's goofy and I
- 31:34Speaker 2: know that he's, for some reason attention starved. But I
- 31:40Speaker 2: do like them both, and I do kind of like
- 31:43Speaker 2: them as a couple. And I wanted to like what
- 31:46Speaker 2: I saw on Friday, but I didn't. Oh really, I
- 31:50Speaker 2: didn't like it? Why And it's because of that? I
- 31:53Speaker 2: are you really just the two most attention starved people
- 31:56Speaker 2: in the world? Is that? Is that your attraction to one?
- 32:00Speaker 2: Is that what you're drawn to? Is that why you
- 32:03Speaker 2: ended up going to every single Chiefs game when you
- 32:06Speaker 2: were just starting to date him, because you love the
- 32:10Speaker 2: like you don't get enough attention? And is that why
- 32:13Speaker 2: you were interested in Taylor in the first place, because
- 32:16Speaker 2: there was nobody you could date who was going to
- 32:20Speaker 2: give you get you more attention than she was going
- 32:23Speaker 2: to get. And then they've gone on this love affair
- 32:26Speaker 2: and I think they've handled themselves really well. They've comported
- 32:29Speaker 2: themselves really well. I think they've come off likable and
- 32:33Speaker 2: love and yet if it was gonna feel real, it
- 32:38Speaker 2: would have been like we talked about last week, just
- 32:41Speaker 2: a little garden ceremony with just the closest people in
- 32:44Speaker 2: your life, you know, like Jason Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes,
- 32:48Speaker 2: and those are the only two people that witnessed it.
- 32:51Speaker 2: And then whoever her best friends are, those are the
- 32:53Speaker 2: only two you know. Obviously Live Benson is one somebody
- 32:59Speaker 2: she's finished close with.
- 33:00Speaker 1: There you go and Stevie Nicks.
- 33:01Speaker 2: And Stevie Nicks. So to me, that would have been impressive.
- 33:08Speaker 2: I suppose if you're that famous and you have like
- 33:12Speaker 2: one shot, you're only going to do this one time,
- 33:15Speaker 2: and you think to yourself, I have always dreamed of
- 33:18Speaker 2: having everyone in the music industry that I've touched or
- 33:22Speaker 2: have touched me come to my wedding. And maybe Travis
- 33:27Speaker 2: Kelsey's like I want every football player I've ever admired
- 33:31Speaker 2: or talked to to be there. But that's what it was.
- 33:34Speaker 2: I mean, what connection? How close is he really to
- 33:36Speaker 2: Peyton Manning? Yeah, and yet Peyton Manning is there. I
- 33:42Speaker 2: I don't know. It just to me was two people
- 33:45Speaker 2: who've probably gotten more attention than any two people under
- 33:49Speaker 2: the age of fifty alive today who decided I need
- 33:54Speaker 2: more attention. I need to be the center of the universe.
- 33:58Speaker 2: I need people I don't even know that well to
- 34:01Speaker 2: come because they're famous and they need to see me
- 34:04Speaker 2: get married. I it kind of by the time I
- 34:08Speaker 2: got done with the Friday Night and seeing all the
- 34:10Speaker 2: photos and all the people that were there, this is
- 34:14Speaker 2: actually kind of gross to me.
- 34:16Speaker 3: Yeah, and I could see that too, because it seemed
- 34:18Speaker 3: like they were trying to put on the event of
- 34:20Speaker 3: the year versus just having a wedding and inviting people
- 34:22Speaker 3: that were important. I mean, even when after they got
- 34:24Speaker 3: married and then the signs outside Madison Square Garden were
- 34:27Speaker 3: lit up just T and T married or whatever.
- 34:31Speaker 1: I was like, I mean, it seems a little gaudy.
- 34:34Speaker 2: It was just all, yeah, it was just showy and
- 34:37Speaker 2: look at me, And I don't think that. I mean,
- 34:40Speaker 2: they come across as likable and even though they're famous,
- 34:44Speaker 2: kind of real and I like that about them. Like,
- 34:47Speaker 2: to me, Travis Kelcey is the guy that would pull
- 34:51Speaker 2: a lebron and go back to his hometown and hang
- 34:54Speaker 2: out with his high school buddies. That's at least that's
- 34:56Speaker 2: the impression that I have of him. And I also
- 34:58Speaker 2: Taylor like her reputation is how kind she is to
- 35:02Speaker 2: all the people that she comes in contact with and
- 35:05Speaker 2: works with, and she takes care of everyone, and and
- 35:08Speaker 2: she's unlike any other celebrity from that standpoint. She thinks
- 35:11Speaker 2: about everybody and making sure that whoever contributed to her
- 35:14Speaker 2: success feels like they were appreciated. Those are those are
- 35:20Speaker 2: hard things to achieve when you are as successful as
- 35:22Speaker 2: she is. So I do like them, but I don't
- 35:26Speaker 2: know it just you're not eighteen, you know, you're both
- 35:31Speaker 2: your damn near forty. I would have thought that maybe
- 35:36Speaker 2: a little more class would have been a more memorable
- 35:41Speaker 2: wedding experience rather than the biggest look at me, look
- 35:45Speaker 2: at all the people that came to my wedding, narcissism
- 35:50Speaker 2: that maybe we've ever seen in our entire lives. I
- 35:52Speaker 2: don't know, kind of put me. It turned me off
- 35:55Speaker 2: to them, and I like them both.
- 35:56Speaker 3: I can understand that I was baffled when it said
- 35:59Speaker 3: they were going to be like a foul people there.
- 36:00Speaker 1: I'm like, who even knows a thousand people.
- 36:03Speaker 2: Well as you? Said that. I don't think it was
- 36:05Speaker 2: a thousand people that they I grew up with.
- 36:07Speaker 3: It was like, invited there, just fill the room and
- 36:09Speaker 3: have a thousand people.
- 36:10Speaker 2: Yeah, they invited their favorite He invited his favorite football players,
