- 1:04Speaker 1: to have you with us on this special Thursday, historic Thursday,
- 1:10Speaker 1: the start of a really special month here in Seattle,
- 1:14Speaker 1: Washington and throughout the world. And we are going to
- 1:17Speaker 1: dive into that and so many other subjects on today's
- 1:21Speaker 1: radio show that will last today four hours, an entire
- 1:24Speaker 1: four hours coming your way here on this Thursday. So
- 1:28Speaker 1: great to have you with us. My name is Chuck Powell.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Ashley Ryan is here as well. Beautiful morning. Undoubtedly. Driving
- 1:37Speaker 1: in here today, I don't know why, but I took
- 1:39Speaker 1: particularly particular note of the space Needle. You know, now
- 1:44Speaker 1: that we're getting these earlier mornings that we get to
- 1:46Speaker 1: drive in and we get pure daylight, It's like the
- 1:49Speaker 1: space Needle was like beaming this morning. And I think
- 1:53Speaker 1: that even the Space Needle knows I need to look
- 1:55Speaker 1: my best today because the world's going to be watching
- 1:58Speaker 1: certain cities in an Erica starting today. And I think
- 2:02Speaker 1: it woke up with an attitude today. Yeah, I think.
- 2:05Speaker 2: I think Mount Rainier was in on that. Oh she
- 2:08Speaker 2: was out and shining. I was like, girl, you look good.
- 2:14Speaker 1: You've been working out. I thought, have you been doing
- 2:17Speaker 1: squats because your thighs look streamline?
- 2:20Speaker 4: And I was like, I am picking up what you
- 2:22Speaker 4: are putting down.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that's it. Maybe it was. I don't know
- 2:26Speaker 1: why I particularly looked around this morning, but it seemed
- 2:30Speaker 1: like that it was like a golden sunrise was so
- 2:33Speaker 1: much more orange today. Yeah, and so yeah, so I
- 2:37Speaker 1: just spent a little more time looking around and kind
- 2:39Speaker 1: of soaking in our city on the drive end today,
- 2:42Speaker 1: and honestly, I wasn't thinking about soccer starting because I
- 2:45Speaker 1: rarely think about soccer, so I wasn't really thinking about that.
- 2:49Speaker 1: But then I'm like looking around and like, everything looks
- 2:52Speaker 1: so beautiful today. And then I started putting the pieces together.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I'm like, I think, I think maybe the space needle
- 2:59Speaker 1: like had a little makeover last night or something like that,
- 3:02Speaker 1: decided to wash its hair. I don't know, you know,
- 3:05Speaker 1: it went down to the barber shop last night to
- 3:08Speaker 1: make sure that it was looking tight, got a fresh cut, yeah,
- 3:11Speaker 1: and and ray near and everything else. So I think
- 3:14Speaker 1: we're ready. I think we're ready for the world to
- 3:17Speaker 1: evaluate us.
- 3:18Speaker 2: I think we are too. And I had an interesting
- 3:19Speaker 2: thing because so I use it. I always put my
- 3:21Speaker 2: GPS on when I'm headed into work because since they've
- 3:25Speaker 2: done the Revive I five thing, when the express lanes
- 3:29Speaker 2: when I couldn't use the express lanes anymore. Sometimes if there
- 3:32Speaker 2: was an accident or something, I needed to know if
- 3:33Speaker 2: I needed to take an early detour to get around.
- 3:36Speaker 4: So I just yeah, so I'm just in the habit
- 3:38Speaker 4: now of I turn it on.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Well today it said your route may be affected by
- 3:44Speaker 2: World Cup traffic.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Oh, And then when I got into town.
- 3:47Speaker 2: All of a sudden, World Cup just appeared on the
- 3:49Speaker 2: bottom of my and I didn't click on it because
- 3:52Speaker 2: I was driving. I was like, but I'm curious, I
- 3:54Speaker 2: will know what if I click on that.
- 3:55Speaker 1: What happens? Do I start a World Cup party?
- 3:58Speaker 5: Uh?
- 3:59Speaker 1: Maybe?
- 4:00Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 4:00Speaker 1: Maybe? I'm not sure. I've never been here either. Yeah,
- 4:03Speaker 1: So I was like, this is new. I don't really
- 4:05Speaker 1: know how it turns out. World Cup never came to Brighton, Illinois.
- 4:08Speaker 4: Oh really, I would have thought that would have been
- 4:10Speaker 4: a hub.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Yeah, And there's no way they were ever gonna put
- 4:13Speaker 1: it in Phoenix, in Vegas, the other two places that
- 4:16Speaker 1: I love. One thousand degrees, that's true.
- 4:19Speaker 4: Although it's gonna be warm here, but that not a
- 4:21Speaker 4: thousand Yeah.
- 4:22Speaker 1: He's going to be a thousand degrees in those two
- 4:24Speaker 1: cities today. Everybody knows it warm. But it's here. It's here,
- 4:28Speaker 1: And for a lot of you out there, you've been
- 4:29Speaker 1: waiting for this for a really long period of time.
- 4:33Speaker 1: I know we have more soccer fans in this country
- 4:35Speaker 1: than ever before. I know that the younger generations at
- 4:40Speaker 1: are love and have grown up liking and loving soccer
- 4:44Speaker 1: more than past generation. Certainly my generation and even though
- 4:49Speaker 1: it's not my cup of tea. I certainly, over the
- 4:51Speaker 1: course of the next month don't want to spoil anything
- 4:54Speaker 1: for those people, because you know, you wait for it.
- 4:56Speaker 1: It's kind of Christmas for you, and I want you
- 4:58Speaker 1: to have the best Christmas you can possibly have. I
- 5:00Speaker 1: want you to get everything you want out of this experience.
- 5:03Speaker 1: And I certainly don't want to be the grumpy guy
- 5:05Speaker 1: in the corner going hard. Why aren't we wanting baseball?
- 5:09Speaker 4: Well, that's the nice thing is we can watch both.
- 5:11Speaker 2: And I think it's you know, obviously I have. I've
- 5:13Speaker 2: always watched World Cup. I've always enjoyed that. That's pretty
- 5:16Speaker 2: much the only soccer I watch.
- 5:18Speaker 1: But it is different.
- 5:19Speaker 4: Having going on in your own horse down for sure.
- 5:22Speaker 2: It's like, okay, well yeah, I got to pay a
- 5:24Speaker 2: little extra attention to it now.
- 5:26Speaker 1: And like I said earlier this week, when we were
- 5:29Speaker 1: openly discussing, how are we going to do this, I mean,
- 5:33Speaker 1: I mean, we're not going to sit here a whole
- 5:35Speaker 1: time talking soccer. That's the disservice to everybody. That's even
- 5:39Speaker 1: a disservice to soccer fans. You don't want me talking
- 5:41Speaker 1: that much soccer. I don't know what I'm talking about.
- 5:43Speaker 4: I'd be like, well, there's guys running around.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, on the pitch. But we will do our
- 5:48Speaker 1: best to lend what kind of color we can to
- 5:52Speaker 1: the experience without it distracting from the hunger that we
- 5:58Speaker 1: all have still for the Mariners season, the Seahawks off season.
- 6:02Speaker 1: We are world champs, you know, yeah, I heard that,
- 6:05Speaker 1: and the NBA Finals, which really is where we start today.
- 6:08Speaker 1: We've got to sink our teeth into this topic, our
- 6:12Speaker 1: first big topic of the day. And look, I've been
- 6:16Speaker 1: in this business a while, you know. I started in
- 6:19Speaker 1: sports talk radio when I was nineteen years old, for
- 6:22Speaker 1: goodness sake, and I just turned fifty five last week.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I'm not sure what you and Fain said last week.
- 6:29Speaker 2: He said happy birthday and that you were fifty five
- 6:31Speaker 2: and that I'd never heard it called double Nichols before.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Yeah, the old double Nickls.
- 6:36Speaker 4: That's all.
- 6:36Speaker 1: I gave you.
- 6:37Speaker 4: Lots of birthday love.
- 6:38Speaker 1: I heard that. I heard that. Yes, so I appreciate that.
- 6:41Speaker 1: But so I mean, do the math. That's thirty six
- 6:43Speaker 1: years in this in this business, and there are a
- 6:46Speaker 1: lot of things that I think talk show hosts, sports
- 6:49Speaker 1: talk show hosts particularly fall prey to I think they
- 6:53Speaker 1: do fall or too often. I think they're always looking
- 6:55Speaker 1: for that big, giant, bold take rather than having a
- 6:58Speaker 1: reasonable response to what we watched the night before or
- 7:02Speaker 1: what we experienced. The sports fans and so I think
- 7:06Speaker 1: over time, and I think sports fans are guilty of
- 7:09Speaker 1: this as well. We use the word choke way too frequently. Yeah,
- 7:13Speaker 1: and I try to use it sparingly. I don't think
- 7:17Speaker 1: that a lot of losses are because a team cracked
- 7:21Speaker 1: under the pressure, because that's what a choke job is.
- 7:23Speaker 1: You crack under the pressure of the moment and you
- 7:27Speaker 1: are not rising to your abilities because you are feeling
- 7:31Speaker 1: that pressure, the weight of that pressure, and it's keeping
- 7:34Speaker 1: you from performing the way that you would normally perform.
- 7:39Speaker 1: That is a choke job. Not blowing a lead, because
- 7:43Speaker 1: sometimes the other team just outplays you. That's not choking.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Most of the time it's not choking. The team didn't
- 7:50Speaker 1: lose because they fell victim to the pressure of the
- 7:54Speaker 1: moment and that's what threw them off their game. But
- 7:58Speaker 1: obviously there have been cases over sports history where yes,
- 8:02Speaker 1: that's a choke job. You choked that away, you had
- 8:05Speaker 1: that in the bag and you choked it away. The
- 8:09Speaker 1: biggest example of my entire lifetime. Now, I can't go
- 8:13Speaker 1: back beyond that to tell you, because you know, you
- 8:16Speaker 1: can read about something and you can see highlights of
- 8:19Speaker 1: something that happened before your time, but if you didn't
- 8:22Speaker 1: experience it blow for blow, then you really don't. You
- 8:26Speaker 1: can't take into account just how much of a choke
- 8:30Speaker 1: job that was. So in my lifetime, the biggest choke
- 8:33Speaker 1: job that I've ever experienced, the standard, the one that
- 8:37Speaker 1: you would have the picture in the in the dictionary
- 8:41Speaker 1: of that person that face as Jean Vandervelt. That's nineteen
- 8:44Speaker 1: ninety nine Carnousti. That was I've got my first major
- 8:48Speaker 1: in my back pocket. I'm going in with a five
- 8:51Speaker 1: stroke lead in to date number four of the tournament.
- 8:55Speaker 1: I have a three stroke lead on the final hole
- 8:57Speaker 1: of the tournament. The only thing that's going to keep
- 8:59Speaker 1: me from that is a triple bogie on the last hole,
- 9:02Speaker 1: and who would do that? And who would do that?
- 9:04Speaker 1: And then a series of some of the worst golf
- 9:07Speaker 1: shots you've ever seen on the eighteenth hole that ended
- 9:11Speaker 1: up with Jean Vandervelt at one point with his pant
- 9:14Speaker 1: legs pant legs rolled up to his kneecaps, trying to
- 9:18Speaker 1: putt or trying to wedge out of water. Oh that's fun. Yeah,
- 9:24Speaker 1: that was the picture. That was the embodiment of the
- 9:27Speaker 1: greatest choke job I've ever seen. He succumbed to the
- 9:31Speaker 1: pressure of the moment and could not finish the job.
- 9:35Speaker 1: It ended up going into an extra hole and he
- 9:38Speaker 1: ends up losing his one shot at a major in
- 9:41Speaker 1: his career. That's choking away a big lead. That's choking
- 9:45Speaker 1: away a big moment in your career. That to me
- 9:49Speaker 1: was the signature choke job of my entire life being
- 9:52Speaker 1: a sports fan and a sports talk show host.
- 9:55Speaker 4: Until last night, I was like, is he gonna say
- 9:59Speaker 4: last night was a show?
- 10:00Speaker 1: Because I thought it was until last night that now
- 10:03Speaker 1: is the standard. I am a thousand percent with Charles
- 10:08Speaker 1: Barkley on this one. That that could. I mean, everybody
- 10:13Speaker 1: keeps calling it a comeback last night for the next
- 10:17Speaker 1: to comeback from twenty nine points, and certainly they played
- 10:19Speaker 1: their part, but that had so much more to do
- 10:23Speaker 1: with the Spurs collapsing. Yeah, they looked panicked, choking it away,
- 10:28Speaker 1: playing the dumbest brand of basketball that you could play
- 10:33Speaker 1: with a twenty nine point lead, or a fifteen point
- 10:36Speaker 1: fourth quarter lead like they had, or a twelve point
- 10:39Speaker 1: lead with four minutes to go like they had, or
- 10:42Speaker 1: a nine point lead with you know, three and a
- 10:45Speaker 1: half minutes to go like they had, or a even
- 10:48Speaker 1: a one point lead with nine seconds to go, and
- 10:51Speaker 1: dearon Fox is attacking the rim at that point rather
- 10:56Speaker 1: than pulling the ball out with his speed and quickness,
- 11:00Speaker 1: trying to take as much time off the clock and
- 11:02Speaker 1: letting them foul you and send you to the free
- 11:04Speaker 1: throw line and leaving having a three point lead at
- 11:08Speaker 1: that point with maybe four seconds to go, three seconds
- 11:11Speaker 1: to go, rather than getting your shot blocked by a
- 11:15Speaker 1: guy who's a foot taller than you, and then they
- 11:18Speaker 1: get the ball back and have a chance to take
- 11:21Speaker 1: the lead, which they did on a miraculous kind of
- 11:26Speaker 1: lucky tip that they got down the stretch. That was
- 11:30Speaker 1: as bad as you can choke something away as I
- 11:33Speaker 1: think I've ever seen in the history of watching professional sports.
- 11:38Speaker 1: And I won't ever hang that on a college kid.
- 11:40Speaker 1: But when you're in the pros, I don't care if
- 11:43Speaker 1: you are young and untested at this level, on this stage,
- 11:47Speaker 1: you defeated Oklahoma City. You didn't have much trouble with that,
- 11:50Speaker 1: and here you are with a twenty nine point lead
- 11:53Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden. You've completely taken the crowd out
- 11:56Speaker 1: of the game. It is theirs for the taking, and
- 11:59Speaker 1: you just elect to play the laziest, sloppiest, scaredest version
- 12:06Speaker 1: of basketball that a team can play. Ashley, make no
- 12:09Speaker 1: mistake about it. This was not a comeback. This was
- 12:12Speaker 1: a collapse by the San Antonio Spurs last night.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Yeah, and I completely agree. It was like watching a
- 12:17Speaker 2: train wreck. Like I was just like in slow motion.
- 12:20Speaker 2: How are they continuing to do this? And it's not
- 12:23Speaker 2: like they didn't know that New York is capable of this.
- 12:25Speaker 2: New York did this to the Cavaliers. They can come
- 12:28Speaker 2: back from a big deficit. They're not going to give up.
- 12:30Speaker 2: They're scrappy. So just keep playing the playing basketball the
- 12:33Speaker 2: way you play basketball, and don't all of a sudden
- 12:36Speaker 2: change everything.
- 12:37Speaker 1: I had no idea. Well, actually I disagree with that part,
- 12:39Speaker 1: because you do change something when you're up twenty nine,
- 12:42Speaker 1: just as Charles was talking about last night, you do
- 12:44Speaker 1: change the way you're playing. You do try to milk
- 12:48Speaker 1: some clocks yet at some point, yes, you do try
- 12:51Speaker 1: to work the interior. You do try to look for
- 12:55Speaker 1: the best shots possible, because all you really need are
- 12:58Speaker 1: two points at this point, need any points that you can.
- 13:01Speaker 1: And then you need to milk away the clock and
- 13:04Speaker 1: the combination of those two things. Don't play scared, but
- 13:07Speaker 1: you do it just the way that you play. Not
- 13:09Speaker 1: the Spurs last night. And this has to go on
- 13:12Speaker 1: our guy Mitch Johnson as well, because I think he
- 13:15Speaker 1: froze in the moment. He choked it away as much
- 13:17Speaker 1: as any of the players last night. And that is
- 13:21Speaker 1: you just keep throwing up threes. You're rushing to throw
- 13:25Speaker 1: up threes. Why are you shooting any threes up twenty
- 13:29Speaker 1: nine points in the second half if you don't have
- 13:32Speaker 1: to unless it's a wide open look. And yet the
- 13:35Speaker 1: entire team just decided that's all we have at our disposal.
- 13:39Speaker 1: There's no other way to play basketball than to shoot
- 13:42Speaker 1: a three. And they just shot themselves out of out
- 13:47Speaker 1: of a huge lead. They made silly mistakes, silly turnovers.
- 13:52Speaker 1: I mean, they just weren't playing like a team with
- 13:56Speaker 1: the lead in the NBA Finals and it cost them.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Yeah, And when I was saying don't change any play.
- 14:01Speaker 2: I meant, like, don't all of a sudden, it seemed
- 14:03Speaker 2: like they were, like, I guess, just afraid they weren't
- 14:06Speaker 2: playing with the confidence that he had had before. And
- 14:09Speaker 2: as far as the threes, Yeah, I was yelling at
- 14:11Speaker 2: the television. I mean, if you're going to throw up
- 14:13Speaker 2: a three, at least wait for the shot clock to
- 14:14Speaker 2: wind down. Don't throw it up when you've still got
- 14:16Speaker 2: twenty seconds on a shot clock, Like that's just a
- 14:19Speaker 2: waste of a possession.
- 14:20Speaker 1: You have a seven foot five inch big man, Yeah,
- 14:23Speaker 1: get him the ball and the paint and they can
- 14:26Speaker 1: foul him, yeah, exactly, or he can or he scores
- 14:31Speaker 1: and you work it for a good field goal attempt.
- 14:35Speaker 1: And that just I mean, if you were going to
- 14:38Speaker 1: if you were to ride up a game plan for
- 14:40Speaker 1: how could we blow a twenty nine point with our
- 14:43Speaker 1: talent and our defensive capabilities, how could we do it?
- 14:47Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about it. Let's brainstorm this. You don't
- 14:50Speaker 1: get out the whiteboard. How could we blow a twenty
- 14:52Speaker 1: nine point lead in the second half of Game four
- 14:55Speaker 1: the NBA Finals? How would we go about doing that?
- 14:58Speaker 1: And that's what you would draw up? I got an idea,
- 15:01Speaker 1: what if we never used the clock and never went
- 15:04Speaker 1: inside the three point line, and then what if we
- 15:07Speaker 1: fumbled away a bunch of opportunities to score, and what
- 15:11Speaker 1: if we stopped playing defense?
- 15:14Speaker 2: And what if as we're collapsing, we don't call a
- 15:16Speaker 2: time out and we just let things continue until we
- 15:19Speaker 2: only have a four point lead, and then we decide, oh, yeah,
- 15:21Speaker 2: we should probably call a timeout now.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know. I don't know what happened to
- 15:25Speaker 1: the collective last night. Daron Fox seemed to be the
- 15:29Speaker 1: only one that wasn't scared of the moment, and yet
- 15:32Speaker 1: he was playing the dumbest brand of basketball. So everybody
- 15:35Speaker 1: else looks scared, including Wemby, including Mitch Johnson, and then
- 15:40Speaker 1: Daron Fox is like, well, I'm not scared. I'm just
- 15:43Speaker 1: gonna be stupid down the stretch. And that combination that's
- 15:47Speaker 1: the only way you blow that. Yes, you implement that
- 15:52Speaker 1: combination of things, and that's what they ended up doing
- 15:56Speaker 1: last night. I mean, it is the new standard for me.
- 15:59Speaker 1: It has past John Vandervelt and by the way, Glenbignyam
- 16:03Speaker 1: and Vandevelt both French. So I don't know, does that
- 16:06Speaker 1: tell you yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I'm
- 16:10Speaker 1: gonna have to look through your war history. I don't
- 16:12Speaker 1: think it's all that sterling, but maybe you don't really
- 16:16Speaker 1: know how to capitalize in the moment. I'm not sure.
- 16:19Speaker 4: It was sure disappointing to watch too.
- 16:20Speaker 1: It was terrible.
- 16:21Speaker 4: I mean, you know it was it.
- 16:23Speaker 2: Did it make it for an exciting game at the end, Yeah, sure,
- 16:25Speaker 2: But I don't want to watch a team just completely
- 16:28Speaker 2: fall apart. I don't want to watch a team blow
- 16:29Speaker 2: somebody out, But I'd rather watch a blowout than watch
- 16:33Speaker 2: a team just completely fall apart and poop themselves.
- 16:37Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was highly disappointing, and I get it.
- 16:40Speaker 1: It made an incredible moment that people are never going
- 16:43Speaker 1: to forget. Yeah, and certainly Knicks fans will think about it.
- 16:47Speaker 1: And I talk about a statue of the Anonobe t
- 16:51Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, Yeah, that's probably going to happen. And
- 16:53Speaker 1: Anonoby was great down the stretch for and Brunson's an assassin.
- 16:58Speaker 1: As we've talked about time and time again, he's just
- 17:02Speaker 1: unworldly in the fourth quarter, He's just so confident with
- 17:05Speaker 1: everything that he does when the game is on the line.
- 17:08Speaker 1: So there were a lot of elements where the Knicks
- 17:10Speaker 1: sees the opportunity, but they were still turning the ball over. Yeah,
- 17:14Speaker 1: Josh Hart missed a layup.
- 17:15Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, well, and then you found Okay, Now the Knicks,
- 17:18Speaker 2: or now the Spurs, have some reprieve for their stupidity.
- 17:20Speaker 1: It's not like they just seized every opportunity. It was
- 17:26Speaker 1: San Antonio just giving them an opportunity time and time
- 17:30Speaker 1: out to get back into a game they should have
- 17:33Speaker 1: never gotten back into. And I agree with Draymond when
- 17:36Speaker 1: he said, when Karl Anthony Towns sit that fallaway three
- 17:40Speaker 1: into the bench to cut it to twelve, I mean,
- 17:43Speaker 1: how many games have you watched? Basketball games? Have you
- 17:45Speaker 1: watched when the other team cut it to twelve, you
- 17:48Speaker 1: knew it was over. Yeah, the team down by twelve
- 17:51Speaker 1: was gonna win the game. And he said it, and
- 17:53Speaker 1: I thought the exact same thing. I'm like, cause it
- 17:56Speaker 1: was you'd already gutted seventeen points of that and you
- 17:59Speaker 1: had all the moment them and the place is going crazy,
- 18:01Speaker 1: and you could see the Spurs players gripping and stressing,
- 18:04Speaker 1: and you're right, Mitch Johnson wasn't doing anything to take
- 18:07Speaker 1: over the moment to try to you know, stunt the
- 18:11Speaker 1: momentum that was taking place at that time, and when
- 18:14Speaker 1: he hit that fallaway three, I'm like, oh, now they're
- 18:16Speaker 1: gonna start getting all the garbage to go their way
- 18:19Speaker 1: as well. It's like the basketball gods are on their
- 18:22Speaker 1: side at this point. They cut the lead to twelve
- 18:25Speaker 1: with like five minutes to go, and I'm like, this
- 18:28Speaker 1: game's over. The Knicks have won it. And it was
- 18:30Speaker 1: funny to hear Draymond Green say the same thing in
- 18:33Speaker 1: the postgame analsis.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just watching thinking like, is there some
- 18:36Speaker 2: miracle that the Spurs can grab onto just to hang
- 18:40Speaker 2: on to this because I didn't think the Spurs were
- 18:41Speaker 2: going to do anything to to in the last minute
- 18:45Speaker 2: or two to all of a sudden, you know, take
- 18:47Speaker 2: make a run and dominate and get a you know,
- 18:50Speaker 2: eight point win. But I thought, is there just something
- 18:54Speaker 2: that they could hold on to so that the Knicks
- 18:57Speaker 2: don't complete the full comeback?
- 18:58Speaker 1: And sure enough, there was no well plenty of opportunities
- 19:01Speaker 1: for that to happen, and even like I said, even
- 19:03Speaker 1: all the way down into the last few seconds, they
- 19:06Speaker 1: just still were like no, no, no, no, no, We're
- 19:08Speaker 1: gonna choke this away. No no, I mean, I know
- 19:11Speaker 1: they gave us another opportunity to to cement this thing,
- 19:14Speaker 1: but no, no, no, no, no, we're gonna miss two free
- 19:16Speaker 1: throws from our best player, who's an eighty six percent
- 19:18Speaker 1: free throw shooter. We're gonna every opportunity that they give
- 19:23Speaker 1: us to cement this thing. We're we're just gonna add
- 19:28Speaker 1: water to it and just keep it loose so that
- 19:30Speaker 1: they have they have every chance to come back and
- 19:33Speaker 1: pull off history. And that's what we watched last night.
- 19:36Speaker 1: And so a lot of credit to the Knicks, don't
- 19:38Speaker 1: get me wrong, a lot of credit to the Knicks.
- 19:40Speaker 1: But I think it I'm with Charles, I'm with Raymond.
- 19:43Speaker 1: I think it had a lot more to do with
- 19:45Speaker 1: San Antonio collapsing than it did the New York Knicks
- 19:49Speaker 1: coming back in that contest. All right, let's find out
- 19:52Speaker 1: what's on tap for the rest of the show. What's
- 19:57Speaker 1: on TEP? What's on TEP?
- 19:59Speaker 6: All right?
- 19:59Speaker 5: What else?
- 20:00Speaker 1: One? Six? Nixt win it over these Spurs. They're up
- 20:02Speaker 1: three games to one in the series. They can clinch
- 20:05Speaker 1: it in San Antonio on Saturday. I do now think
- 20:09Speaker 1: it's over. I don't think you come back from this.
- 20:11Speaker 2: I don't know how you do, because just mentally, that's
- 20:14Speaker 2: hard to wrap your mind around.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Spencer Hawes is gonna join us. I don't think he's
- 20:17Speaker 1: even gonna want to at eight o'clock today, but we
- 20:20Speaker 1: have to get his thoughts on his buddy, Mitch Johnson
- 20:22Speaker 1: and the Spurs falling apart. Last night, Sanley Cup Final
- 20:27Speaker 1: reaches game number five. It will return to Carolina tonight.
- 20:31Speaker 1: The series is even at two games apiece. Many are
- 20:34Speaker 1: calling it the most evenly fought, best fought Stanley Cup
- 20:38Speaker 1: Final maybe ever. We'll see if that continues tonight, starting
- 20:41Speaker 1: at five o'clock. Of course, the World Cup is here,
- 20:44Speaker 1: and we're gonna spend the quite a bit of time
- 20:47Speaker 1: today discussing that, including a Green Jacket draft today. At
- 20:51Speaker 1: nine o'clock. We were like, all right, Doe, do we
- 20:54Speaker 1: want Anders or Jackson on the show today, and then
- 20:57Speaker 1: we decided both so like yeah, yeah, So they're both
- 21:01Speaker 1: going to be joining us for our World Cup preview,
- 21:03Speaker 1: our Green Jacket draft coming up today at nine o'clock.
- 21:06Speaker 1: Seahawks mandatory mini camp continues. We'll continue with our Seahawks
- 21:10Speaker 1: one series today and also Greg Bell's going to join
- 21:14Speaker 1: us at seven oh five to talk about the Hawks
- 21:17Speaker 1: College World Series starts tomorrow. It's an annual tradition. I
- 21:20Speaker 1: know there's a lot going on today, but we do
- 21:22Speaker 1: have to check in with Kyle Peterson, Bucky's buddy, even
- 21:25Speaker 1: though Bucky's not here. So Kyle Peterson will join us
- 21:27Speaker 1: today at seven thirty to talk about the College World Series,
- 21:30Speaker 1: which starts tomorrow. A lot of world things apparently are
- 21:33Speaker 1: going to be determined. And of course we have our
- 21:36Speaker 1: baseball team that just decided last night. You know we
- 21:39Speaker 1: don't need this one. Yeah, yeah, you know what, Yeah,
- 21:43Speaker 1: we might have stolen a couple of games here in
- 21:45Speaker 1: Baltimore's Let's see.
- 21:46Speaker 4: Some good pitching for a while and then let's just
- 21:48Speaker 4: see what happens after that.
- 21:49Speaker 1: Yeah, let's just get our bullpen rested. That's the goal tonight.
- 21:53Speaker 1: And so they lost last night to the Baltimore Orioles
- 21:55Speaker 1: seven to two. They will finish the series tonight. Problem
- 21:59Speaker 1: with kicking game like that is, now you've got to
- 22:01Speaker 1: beat a really good pitcher in Kyle Bradish to win
- 22:04Speaker 1: the series, and that's not going to be easy. First
- 22:07Speaker 1: pitches at four o'clock Mariners put Matt Brash on the il.
- 22:10Speaker 1: They put Ryan Bliss back down to Tacoma. That was
- 22:13Speaker 1: odd timing to activate Miles master Bony and of course
- 22:17Speaker 1: Cal is in Tacoma. He will play tonight after a
- 22:20Speaker 1: night off last night at seven five, So we'll talk
- 22:24Speaker 1: about all of this stuff. We've got Mariners morning after
- 22:27Speaker 1: coming your way next on Sports Radio ninety three point
- 22:29Speaker 1: three KJRFM. Well like last night in Baltimore, Yeah, those
- 22:33Speaker 1: were two tight games. They could have easily gone Baltimore's
- 22:36Speaker 1: way both of them, and you come away with both victories.
- 22:39Speaker 1: Think about I mean, we talked about it a lot
- 22:42Speaker 1: yesterday about how crazy that game was on Tuesday. The
- 22:49Speaker 1: you had three not only do you have three guys
- 22:52Speaker 1: for the Orioles got thrown out at home? Yeah, which
- 22:54Speaker 1: how often do you see that in a game three
- 22:57Speaker 1: players from the opposing any either team, that it's thrown
- 23:00Speaker 1: out at home, But for them to get thrown out
- 23:03Speaker 1: by the narrowest of margins, all three of them, and
- 23:06Speaker 1: we got the benefit of all three of the calls. Yeah,
- 23:11Speaker 1: we were living living dangerously. Yeah, we were living dangerously.
- 23:14Speaker 1: We were living pretty good life there for the first
- 23:17Speaker 1: two days and certainly you want to get greedy if
- 23:20Speaker 1: you're the Mariners. And they didn't go into the game thinking, wow,
- 23:25Speaker 1: we've got two, let's just kick this one. But it
- 23:28Speaker 1: did kind of feel like, George, if we're gonna win
- 23:30Speaker 1: this one, it's all on you, buddy. Yeah, that's what
- 23:33Speaker 1: they did. It felt very much like that. And Kirby,
- 23:37Speaker 1: who's not been pitching all that well as of late,
- 23:39Speaker 1: pitched great last night. Through six innings, George Shed allowed
- 23:44Speaker 1: just four hits, no runs, he'd struck out seven batters
- 23:48Speaker 1: and was sitting in beautiful position at seventy four pitches.
- 23:52Speaker 1: He'd been very efficient to that point, and so everything
- 23:55Speaker 1: was going swimmingly from the pitching front, and yeah, you
- 23:59Speaker 1: had a shot. Yeah you were in the ball game.
- 24:01Speaker 1: We were tied through six innings, even though the offense
- 24:05Speaker 1: decided not to show up last night against Brandon Young,
- 24:08Speaker 1: who I mentioned several times he's been having a good year.
- 24:11Speaker 1: But that's not that very talented pitcher, that's not Cy Young.
- 24:15Speaker 1: That's Brandon Young out there on the mound. And yet
- 24:19Speaker 1: he was shutting out the Mariners for seven innings last night.
- 24:24Speaker 1: And so you go to the bottom of the seventh
- 24:26Speaker 1: and excuse me, the bottom of the sixth, and you're
- 24:27Speaker 1: all squared up at zero zero. George had been flying
- 24:31Speaker 1: around through five innings at that stage. It was through
- 24:35Speaker 1: five innings, not six innings. Five innings, seventy four pitches,
- 24:38Speaker 1: four hits allowed, seven k's, and then the first battery
- 24:41Speaker 1: faces in the bottom of the sixth. Does this what
- 24:44Speaker 1: two lost?
- 24:45Speaker 6: Paul's really smoke dot to center field? Julio track oh
- 24:50Speaker 6: gone oriole strength perts at the bottom of the.
- 24:56Speaker 1: Sixth, Pete Alonzo at the home run. He can do
- 24:59Speaker 1: that too, but George had dominated him in the first
- 25:02Speaker 1: two at bats against Alonso, just blew them away with fastballs,
- 25:06Speaker 1: and then Pete Alonzo gets one, knocks it over the wall,
- 25:10Speaker 1: makes it one to nothing at that point, and then
- 25:12Speaker 1: the world kind of caved in on George. He hadn't
- 25:16Speaker 1: really given up much hard contact throughout the game, but
- 25:19Speaker 1: in that inning he gave up three extra base hits.
- 25:22Speaker 1: He ends up giving up three runs, and man, you
- 25:25Speaker 1: just didn't see it happening that quickly. I mean, he
- 25:28Speaker 1: was in beautiful position. Ashley five through five, seventy four pitches,
- 25:33Speaker 1: no runs allowed, striking out over a batterIn inning and
- 25:36Speaker 1: he struck out the side that inning, and yet he
- 25:39Speaker 1: got tagged as well.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I was. I was surprised, not by how he
- 25:43Speaker 2: had started the game. I thought, wow, okay, good is
- 25:45Speaker 2: like this is the George we've been wanting to see.
- 25:47Speaker 2: So I guess maybe a little bit surprised there, but
- 25:49Speaker 2: then yeah, for it to have turned as quickly as
- 25:50Speaker 2: it did, I was like, wait.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Yeah, third time threw the lineup, and there's nothing I
- 25:55Speaker 1: would have done differently if I was Dan. He couldn't
- 25:57Speaker 1: foresee that in the sixth inning George was suddenly going
- 26:01Speaker 1: to start giving up such hard contact that he did,
- 26:05Speaker 1: and that was three to nothing at that point, and
- 26:07Speaker 1: it just felt like last night, like that's too much
- 26:10Speaker 1: to overcome tonight, And it proved to be. Here's George
- 26:14Speaker 1: after the game.
- 26:15Speaker 3: You know, I've been there's been a lot of moments,
- 26:18Speaker 3: you know, come up this year, the last month, you know,
- 26:22Speaker 3: kind of like fight or flight moment, and you know,
- 26:26Speaker 3: I feel.
- 26:27Speaker 5: Like I've been doing a good job of that, you know, mentally, and.
- 26:32Speaker 3: You know, well, you know those results will start to
- 26:34Speaker 3: come my way eventually, but thinking about it the right
- 26:37Speaker 3: way and doing the right thing.
- 26:38Speaker 5: So man, I get one zero and then you know
- 26:42Speaker 5: it's game over. So he seemed so much more well
- 26:45Speaker 5: equipped to be able to work through some of these
- 26:47Speaker 5: challenges maybe a few years ago. Does it feel that
- 26:49Speaker 5: way or something?
- 26:51Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean like this game finds a way to
- 26:54Speaker 3: slap you in the face all the time.
- 26:55Speaker 5: So the more and more you go through them, the
- 26:59Speaker 5: more you learned from it. So that's what I'm trying
- 27:02Speaker 5: to do.
- 27:02Speaker 3: And I'm still gonna be mad, still gonna be angry,
- 27:05Speaker 3: but use it and you know a different way to
- 27:08Speaker 3: approach the next start.
- 27:12Speaker 1: He knows himself. But this is the best part though.
- 27:15Speaker 2: It's like this George now is instead of He's like,
- 27:17Speaker 2: I'm still going to be mad. I'm still going to
- 27:19Speaker 2: be angry, but he's not like I'm ef a mad
- 27:21Speaker 2: like old George would have been. I kind of missed
- 27:25Speaker 2: the old angry.
- 27:26Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how really to. I
- 27:31Speaker 1: don't think he uses it to his benefit. There are
- 27:34Speaker 1: some players that use their anger to their benefit. But
- 27:37Speaker 1: I mean, you heard it in the statement, and maybe
- 27:40Speaker 1: people don't catch it. I catch that when you say
- 27:43Speaker 1: you know you're pitching great and you feel like you're
- 27:46Speaker 1: having a good day. And then you give up a
- 27:47Speaker 1: home run, the game's over, right. It was one to
- 27:50Speaker 1: nothing at that point, and that's how he unfortunately thinks
- 27:54Speaker 1: like I didn't get any I'm not getting any run support,
- 27:57Speaker 1: I'm pitching great, and then I give up a home run,
- 28:00Speaker 1: It's probably over And I think he carries that to
- 28:02Speaker 1: the next pitch. Yeah, when he has somebody botcha play,
- 28:07Speaker 1: he carries it to the next pitch. When he beats
- 28:10Speaker 1: a hitter, and yet the hitter hits a little flare
- 28:14Speaker 1: that he had no business getting a hit off of
- 28:16Speaker 1: into right field, he carries it into the next pitch
- 28:19Speaker 1: and the next at bat when he walks a guy
- 28:22Speaker 1: because he has so much pride in his control. When
- 28:24Speaker 1: he walks a guy, he carries it into the next pitch.
- 28:27Speaker 1: You can't do that as a professional baseball player. He's
- 28:31Speaker 1: as talented as any pitcher as we have, maybe the
- 28:34Speaker 1: most talented pitcher that we have, and yet he lets
- 28:38Speaker 1: that stuff bother him. And if it makes you angry
- 28:42Speaker 1: and focuses you more, great. Plenty of people are better
- 28:46Speaker 1: when they're angry playing sports. But when it makes you worse,
- 28:51Speaker 1: you know, I mean, if your mindset was no there
- 28:54Speaker 1: you go, I gave you up a home run, game's
- 28:56Speaker 1: over because this team can't score for me. If that's
- 29:00Speaker 1: your mentality, then guess what's gonna happen. Two more guys
- 29:03Speaker 1: are going to tag you before you get out of
- 29:05Speaker 1: an inning, and the next thing you know, it's three
- 29:07Speaker 1: to nothing. And I will say this because I didn't
- 29:10Speaker 1: feel this way once it was three to nothing. The
- 29:14Speaker 1: Mariners did kind of fold, like there was this element of, Hey,
- 29:19Speaker 1: we're out here to try to win this ball game,
- 29:21Speaker 1: but it's all going to be on George whether he
- 29:23Speaker 1: gets us there, because if we fall behind by any margin,
- 29:28Speaker 1: we're not going to go rescue him. We don't have
- 29:30Speaker 1: the pen depth right now to go rescue him. And
- 29:32Speaker 1: then we've called up a couple of minor league pitchers
- 29:36Speaker 1: to fill it out, and they just let Domingo go.
- 29:39Speaker 1: I mean, three to nothing's not that big of a hole,
- 29:41Speaker 1: but we're gonna send Gonzales out there. Just called him
- 29:44Speaker 1: up from Tacoma, and there was no thought given to
- 29:48Speaker 1: going to anyone else once they were down three to nothing.
- 29:51Speaker 1: The goal of Dan Wilson and the organization, and I
- 29:54Speaker 1: know they talked about it beforehand, was we're all right,
- 29:58Speaker 1: if we kick this game. The goal tonight is to
- 30:00Speaker 1: get our bullpen healthy again, to get our bullpen rested,
- 30:04Speaker 1: because we got to play again tomorrow, and we got
- 30:06Speaker 1: to play again a weekend series and we don't have
- 30:09Speaker 1: an off day. So yes, they were out to win
- 30:12Speaker 1: last night, but once they fell behind two nothing, three
- 30:15Speaker 1: to nothing, that was a little part of George as well, like,
- 30:18Speaker 1: you didn't take me all the game. I'm goodn't tagging
- 30:21Speaker 1: We've still had a chance to win it. And then
- 30:23Speaker 1: obviously you didn't even care enough to come back and
- 30:25Speaker 1: try to come back from a three to nothing deficit.
- 30:27Speaker 1: I think there's truth to that. I don't think they
- 30:29Speaker 1: tried their hardest to try to come back and win
- 30:31Speaker 1: last night.
- 30:32Speaker 4: I don't think they did either.
- 30:33Speaker 2: And then that just makes me even more annoyed by
- 30:34Speaker 2: this six man rotation because we're kicking games basically because
- 30:38Speaker 2: we can't figure out the bullpen situation.
- 30:41Speaker 1: I actually had piggyback bourbon last night. Oh was it delicious.
- 30:44Speaker 1: It was very good. It's so good. I was trying
- 30:47Speaker 1: to drink the piggyback back into existing.
- 30:49Speaker 4: So you need your piggyback, piggyback piggyback.
- 30:53Speaker 1: So a seven to two loss, that's what it ended up.
- 30:56Speaker 1: Jackson Holliday ended up hitting a Grand Slam for the ore.
- 31:00Speaker 1: So the Mariners said at thirty six and thirty three
- 31:03Speaker 1: and again, I mean that's one thing, all right, We're
- 31:06Speaker 1: putting this all on George. If it doesn't happen, that's okay.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Our goal really is to reset the bullpen on tonight.
- 31:12Speaker 1: I'm fine, But now, all of a sudden, you are
- 31:16Speaker 1: at risk of not winning this series, which at this
- 31:19Speaker 1: stage would be awful.
- 31:21Speaker 4: That would be very dissipping.
- 31:22Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you gotta win this series. And you're
- 31:24Speaker 1: facing their best pitcher tonight. I think we may be
- 31:27Speaker 1: throwing hours as well and Brian Wu. But Kyle Bradish
- 31:31Speaker 1: versus Brian Wu's going to be a heck of a
- 31:33Speaker 1: pitching matchup. And how many series end where the last
- 31:37Speaker 1: game of the series starts later than the first three? Yeah,
- 31:41Speaker 1: that is weird. I was like, oh, is it a
- 31:43Speaker 1: noon game?
- 31:43Speaker 5: Oh?
- 31:44Speaker 4: No, okay, no, because that would be weird, right, Why
- 31:46Speaker 4: would we have a noon game?
- 31:47Speaker 1: No four o'clock? So a later start on Game four
- 31:51Speaker 1: of the series tonight in Baltimore, And it's because they
- 31:54Speaker 1: just have a train ride to Washington after the game
- 31:57Speaker 1: is over. So there you go this morning after and
- 32:02Speaker 1: we will have ABC's of the ms coming up later
- 32:04Speaker 1: on in the show as well. But there's so much
- 32:07Speaker 1: more to discuss, and today's a bit of a sports
- 32:10Speaker 1: holiday and we'll dive into that next Sports Radio ninety
- 32:13Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM. But he might also be a
- 32:16Speaker 1: soccer fan, because I don't know, at least a soccer
- 32:20Speaker 1: fan for Seattle, because he has made one beautiful day
- 32:24Speaker 1: out there. Oh my goodness, is that per picturesque? It is?
- 32:27Speaker 2: I actually went out to get something off the printer
- 32:29Speaker 2: and I had to stand there and just take it
- 32:30Speaker 2: all in front.
- 32:31Speaker 1: I had to stand there and take it all in,
- 32:33Speaker 1: didn't you?
- 32:33Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 32:33Speaker 4: And then I was like, you know what, God, Mother Nature.
- 32:36Speaker 1: You're a great duo.
- 32:37Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 32:38Speaker 1: Yeah. They must have their scarves on and drinking their
- 32:41Speaker 1: craft beer or that mother Nature.
- 32:42Speaker 4: Ye put the scarves up, right, scarves up.
- 32:45Speaker 1: They are ready for soccer in Seattle. Sad. That's just
- 32:49Speaker 1: knowing what we're talking about, not really, but but happy
- 32:53Speaker 1: World Cup day. And again, I don't know how often
- 32:57Speaker 1: I'll repeat this, but maybe a lot, maybe little. I
- 33:00Speaker 1: don't know, I don't really particularly like this sport, but
- 33:04Speaker 1: I don't want it to interfere with I don't want
- 33:08Speaker 1: to be the person that's like boring, you know, like
- 33:12Speaker 1: because people do that to baseball. Yeah, and all that
- 33:15Speaker 1: aren't baseball fans. Oh it's so slow moving. If they're
- 33:18Speaker 1: so boring, and they'll do it at like the most
- 33:22Speaker 1: ramped up that you are to watch a baseball game,
- 33:26Speaker 1: and they just do it to take the wind, try
- 33:27Speaker 1: to take the wind out of your sales. And I
- 33:29Speaker 1: just think it's low class. So I am not going
- 33:32Speaker 1: to be that for soccer fans. I want soccer fans,
- 33:35Speaker 1: especially those in Seattle, especially our two little lovable gems here,
- 33:39Speaker 1: Jackson and Anders, to just have a ball. I want them
- 33:42Speaker 1: to have just the best month with this. So I
- 33:45Speaker 1: hope it goes well. Like community wise, yes, you know,
- 33:50Speaker 1: I hope. I hope everybody that's coming into the country
- 33:52Speaker 1: has a great time here. I think that you're going to.
- 33:55Speaker 1: I hope that we don't have turds that are out
- 33:57Speaker 1: there to try to disrupt other people's good time that
- 34:00Speaker 1: are coming here to visit our city and our nation
- 34:03Speaker 1: here today. But I'm just gonna trust that this is
- 34:06Speaker 1: going to go great. And if I'm going to judge
- 34:08Speaker 1: it by the weather, we're off to a tremendous start.
- 34:10Speaker 2: Yeah, it's again, it's exciting. I like soccer. I don't
- 34:15Speaker 2: love soccer like you, but I like World Cup. Every
- 34:18Speaker 2: four years you get something a little bit more amped
- 34:21Speaker 2: up to watch, and so there's more than just traditional soccer,
- 34:26Speaker 2: especially here in you know, with the MLS, which is
- 34:29Speaker 2: a perfectly fine product. I'm just not that into it.
- 34:31Speaker 2: I don't watch European soccer, none of that stuff. But
- 34:34Speaker 2: when it comes to World Cup, when it comes time
- 34:36Speaker 2: to representing countries, I just feel like the Olympics, there's
- 34:39Speaker 2: just a little more oop to it, and that's fun
- 34:41Speaker 2: and I dig it.
- 34:42Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of oomph to this. Forty eight
- 34:45Speaker 1: different teams are going to be our countries are going
- 34:47Speaker 1: to be represented at this year's World Cup. There, I
- 34:50Speaker 1: mean all the groupings, they're four in each group. I
- 34:54Speaker 1: mean there's a Group L. That's how many teams are
- 34:57Speaker 1: in this World Cup this year. So eight different teams
- 35:01Speaker 1: like Group A for example, which I like to call
- 35:04Speaker 1: Group Andres Munos. This has got Mexico, South Africa, Korea
- 35:08Speaker 1: and Chechia in it. And then Group B, which I
- 35:12Speaker 1: like to call Group brash. It's got Canada, Bosnia, Herzegovina,
- 35:17Speaker 1: Katar and Switzerland. What a combination that is, right for
- 35:22Speaker 1: goodness sake. And then Group D is the one that
- 35:25Speaker 1: of course the US is involved in, and that's going
- 35:27Speaker 1: to be Turkey, which apparently they've kind of put their
- 35:30Speaker 1: foot down. They don't want Turkey spelled the way we've
- 35:34Speaker 1: spelled it when I was a kid. They've changed the spelling,
- 35:36Speaker 1: have they on the nation Turkey? Now it's t U
- 35:39Speaker 1: r k I y e, which it was always just
- 35:43Speaker 1: like the bird. Yeah, I grew up in school, So
- 35:45Speaker 1: they've changed the apparently the spelling on that because they
- 35:47Speaker 1: don't want to be associated with.
- 35:49Speaker 2: The bird, I guess, or maybe have they been in
- 35:50Speaker 2: America they're putting I haven't looked at all of the pools,
- 35:53Speaker 2: but possibly they're putting how each country spells there.
- 35:56Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure. But it was in
- 35:58Speaker 1: our textbooks as just like the bird. That's how it
- 36:01Speaker 1: was always spelled. And so Turkey apparently put its foot down, like, no,
- 36:05Speaker 1: it's not spelled that way. Yeah, spell it correctly, Australia
- 36:09Speaker 1: is in our group, and then Paraguay is in our
- 36:12Speaker 1: group as well. And yes, if you want a translation,
- 36:15Speaker 1: that is two guys, that's what that means.
- 36:18Speaker 2: We got a text yesterday that someone when they heard
- 36:21Speaker 2: they were like, I can't stop laughing about Paraguay.
- 36:24Speaker 4: They really went really.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Well, Uruguay's in this as well, which translated one guy Okay, Yeah.
- 36:32Speaker 2: I thought it was more of like when you're calling
- 36:34Speaker 2: someone a Guay, like, no, Uruguay.
- 36:40Speaker 1: Actually, you know what the actual translation of it is,
- 36:44Speaker 1: Paraguay is the river that gives birth to the sea. Okay,
- 36:48Speaker 1: So really for one word to say all of that,
- 36:51Speaker 1: and then Uruguay is the river of the painted birds.
- 36:55Speaker 1: So obviously Guay means water of some kind rivers, I guess.
- 37:01Speaker 1: But for pair to mean gives birth to the sea, yeah,
- 37:05Speaker 1: and for your to mean painted birds, yeah, that is something.
- 37:09Speaker 4: That is a that is different.
- 37:11Speaker 1: That's a study how to say rivers. That is why
- 37:14Speaker 1: that is fascinating.
- 37:15Speaker 2: Right there, I go down to the Columbia Guay this
- 37:18Speaker 2: summer hang out.
- 37:19Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you?
- 37:20Speaker 5: All?
