• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Much much more, including some fall off from the pajama party.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: But we are getting closer to a major League baseball
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: season getting underway. Spring training is already underway. We've already
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: provided award winning coverage of spring training for goodness sake.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: And it was a long time ago. It was a
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: long time. It was so award winning I had to
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: take a week off. Yeah, award winning coverage. It'll wearry out.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: That's what people don't realize about providing award winning coverage.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: They don't even think about it.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: No, well, they just think it's all trophies and and
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: it is just happens magically. No, it turned Yeah, it
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: takes its toll, it does. Yeah.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm glad that you're feeling arrested and recovered
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: from me too.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, but didn't sound legitimate. Well, well let's put it
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: this way. We're more glad than most people out there.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: God seemed have you see me? Yeah?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Super professional is always flask and it is Fred Rogers.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Sweat Flasky best.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: All right, So, uh, WBC will start this week. Julio
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez will be participating in that. Last year for US,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, there was no getting around it. It was
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the year of Cal. Like everything Cal did turn to gold.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: It seemed, I mean, sixty home runs in a season,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: where did that come from? I mean forty, yeah, but sixty,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: uh the home run derby. He became a household name,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: not just in Seattle, but nationally. Everybody now knows the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: name Cal Rawley, the big Dumper. He's a superstar. I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: mean he even looks different. I don't know. There was
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: something about him. He just seemed to sparkle when we
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: were down in spring training. He just looked more legendary
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: than what he did in previous spring trainings. If you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: asked me, I'm not even making that up. Like he
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: would get up from the you know, catching a bullpen,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and it's like the dust like fell around him.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: There was something about him. He looked Paul Bunyan like.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: He looked bigger, he looked thinner, he looked more muscled
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: when we were down there in spring training. It's like
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: he got rid of all of his baby fat this offseason.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: There was just something legendary looking about Cal Rawley at
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: spring training a couple of weeks ago.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: He does look big. I mean he kind of was
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: is a young I mean he's still young man, but
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: he kind of his first couple of years here. He
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: still looked like a pup. He looked, you know, he
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: just looked like a big you know, like a dog
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: that has the big pause, which like, wait till he
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: grows into those things. He was like, he hadn't grown
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: into his dumper yet. He looks like he's grown into
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: his dumper at this point. It was it was a
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: baby dumper before it's it's full blown big dumper at
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: this point.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And everybody has that moment in their life, mom, when
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: will I grow into my dumper.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: It's like, now, finally he's wearing the dumper. The dumper's
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: not wearing.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Yep, exactly pretty much nailed it. No, I believe you.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I think there is something too. I think he walks
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: a little taller. Not that he's cocky or arrogant, there's
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: just a you know, you just walk a little bit slower,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a little bit taller. Everything just feels a little more comfortable.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: At this point, we were walking out of a batting
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: practice and he ends up going nice cup bear to
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: my son. Well, the reason his hair looks the way
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: it looks is because my wife takes a picture of
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Cal Rawley says this is what hair do he wants,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: and so Cal ended up commenting on it. And yet
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: that's something I mean, just a couple of years ago,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: he wouldn't even have thought that somebody would be having
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: his haircut, right, he wouldn't even have it just wouldn't
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: even cross his mind. Now it's like he's pretty sure.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's well.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I I kind of like that, Like there's this I
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: get I get it. I've done some things. Yes, Like
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: he's not necessarily it's not like, oh shucks, guys, No,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just trying.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: To make my way. I'm just trying to not get cut.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: You know, he's not that humble, right, you know what,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: because that would be disingenuous or naivity I'm not sure, right,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: But there is an ownership of it. Yeah, remember when
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you hardly even knew my name. I mean that came
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: up in our interview with him. I mean, he knows
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: he pulled off something special last year. He knows he's arrived,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: he knows he's better than what even he had forecasted
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: for himself. And he's walking the walk. Yeah, so to speak,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: he's owning it. He is owning it and it looks
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: good on him. Yeah, it's like not uncomfortable. He's just
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: very comfortable in his own skin being a superstar of
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball right now.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And that's awesome. So let's talk about Julio. If last
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: year was the year of cal.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: What chances do we give for twenty twenty six for
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: all of those things to fall into place for our
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: center fielder. I mean, six foot four two twenty eight,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: full of muscle, big smile, darling eyes, you know, I mean,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the whole package is there fast as the wind. Goal
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: gets some better defensively every single year. Last year about
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: he had a six.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Point eight war.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: He had a seven war season, even though for once again,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: for half of the year pulling out our hair. You know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: people on the text line and on Twitter wanting him
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to be sent to the minors for goodness sake, because
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: he wasn't coming through in the first half of the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: season with runners in scoring position. And yet at the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: end of the year a seven war season. You know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a few players have a seven war season. Starts this
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: year is the number one rank center fielder in all
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: of baseball? And so are we going? Are we ready?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Is he ready age twenty five season, this is this
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: is entering your prime. He's just now entering his prime.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Are we going to see the year of Julio potentially
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: this year like we saw the year of.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Cali year ago. I hope. So, I mean, really, I
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: kind of feel like it is just a matter of time.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And that's some people out there want to hate on
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Julio even though he's made a few All Star teams.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's I think he finished like fourth and
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: seventh and sixth. He's played three seasons in the big leagues.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: He's finished in the top seven three different times in
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: MVP voting. Crazy, Yeah, that's the guy we should send down. Okay,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: so it but it does still feel like and this
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: is where I have the same frustration. It just is
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: it's tempered beyond the person that thinks he's overrated or
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: that he's the most you know, misunderstood, like overappreciated athlete
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: in Seattle history. It's like, no, the dude is he's
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: done really well as a young kid, being kind of
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the face of the franchise up until cal maybe took
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: that Moniker from Yeah. Yeah, but I mean I think
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, what he's done is basically average thirty homers
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: a season as a twenty year old, twenty one, twenty
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: two to twenty three year old, whatever it is. He's
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: hitting two seventy five, which is as a career. That's
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: pretty good. That's what I mean. There's not very many
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: people that do that. Now, you're like you said, he's
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: getting better and better defensively every single year. I'm playing
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: near gold Glove caliber. He's definitely playing gold Glove caliber.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: He just hasn't won the Gold Glove yet. I think, yes,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I would say that it's just a matter of time,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: and I'm hoping that this is the year that he
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: goes out there and doesn't have a poor month or
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: month and a half of the season. If he can
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: get off to a good start in the first forty
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: games of the year, he's gonna hit three hundred, he's
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: gonna hit thirty five or forty homers, he's gonna steal
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: thirty or forty bags, he's gonna win a Gold Glove.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: You're talking about an MVP caliber talent guy, and it's
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: just a matter of time. And you're right, twenty five
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: is when it should click for this kid.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Well, And it's interesting because you know, he has been good,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: but because he hasn't achieved the expectations of, you know,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: being that superstar that you can count on every yet
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: bat and all of these things that people had placed
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: on him from the beginning, you know, before he even
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: really arrived.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: You're still getting we got a Texas morning.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Julio's the most overrated athlete, probably the most overrated athlete
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: in Seattle sports history.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Oh boy, now there's an overreaction.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: But that's and that's just a bummer for Julio because
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: it's like, well, he's been good, you can't but people
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: don't want to recognize that he's been good because he
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: hasn't been spectacular.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: He hasn't had the full season. He's gotten off to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: slow starts all four years of his young career and
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: then got hot in the second half and then at
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the end of the year ended up posting numbers. I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: mean he's, you know, twenty twenty four, he had just
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: twenty home runs, but I mean he's averaged what twenty
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: eight home runs per season since he came here. Bucky
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: mentioned the two seventy four batting average A one thirty
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: ps plus one hundred is considered average. I mean, that's
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: well above average for his career. That's the average of
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: his career. And as Bucky mentioned as well, three top
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: seven MVP votes for a guy that has not had
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: a full season where he started the year clicking. I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: don't know what it takes to get him out of
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the gates. Maybe the WBC will help to your point
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: from earlier, Maybe getting some bats in the middle of
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: March and we can rattle that cage a little earlier.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But if he gets off to a
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: good start for once, boy.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I'd just like to see that season right. Just do that.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Don't start, don't start in a hole that you have
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: to dig yourself out of the rest of the year.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: If he could get off to a good start, I
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: want to see what then clicks, what locks in place
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: for him for the higher year, because there's no doubt.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's not putting up judge In type numbers,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: he's not putting up Ronald Akunya type numbers so far
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: in his young career. But is there any doubt that
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: he's got fifty homer potential? Got fifty homer potential and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: then tack on thirty stolen base forty stolen base potential
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: still in his mid twenties. For goodness sake, defense keeps
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: getting better. You know, I don't know how you correct
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: being more reliable with runners in scoring position. That might
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: be something between the years that he struggles with because
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have the best at bats in those situations.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: It's not that he's just it's not that he's just failing.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: It's that we've never liked his approach in those situations.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: He always seems like he's trying to hit an a one
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: thousand foot home run when all you need is a sacrifice.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: And so, I mean, there's a lot of improving to do.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: But I would just like to see if if he
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: didn't wake up on May with a two to ten
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: batting average and three home runs for a change, what
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: that could unleash for him for.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: An entire year. Well, I mean, we've seen something that
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: is remarkable as far as his resilience or the mental
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: toughness that he brings. Because I'm gonna tell you, I
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: don't I don't care who you are. When you look
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: up and you're one hundred and one hundred and twenty
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: abs into the season and you got a one something
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: batting average or a barely over two hundred. I mean,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: you're not hitting your weight. That's not enjoyable. And you
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: know that at that point, you can't go. A one
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: for four isn't doing anything. It's not changing, You're not
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: You go from a one oh eight batting average to
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a one oh nine batting average with a one for four,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: now an zero for four, It'll keep dropping. And so
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: you got to start putting together multiple knock days to
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: start climbing out of that hole. And he's done it
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: every single year, including the first year, the first year
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: he wins Rookie of the Year he has. You know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: it's kind of shortened to some degree. He only played
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty two games, but hits almost thirty homers.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: It was unbelievable. Now he kind of dropped a little
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: bit and then dropped a little bit more in his
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: second and third season, and everybody's like, oh, here we go, bust.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: It's like, no, he still is well above average, well
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: above average. He's just not hadn't came to fulfill the
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: promises that maybe we set the expectations too high for
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: people when we saw him. I don't think we did necessarily,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: but because I don't think we did, period, because I
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: still think that he's a forty forty guy. I don't.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: It's just a matter off. He has to stop get
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: digging himself into a hole where all of a sudden,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: you know, it's it's this last year. What was the
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: bet that the kid had somewhere like that he wasn't
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: gonna hear twenty homers? Yeah, wuldn't get to get to
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: twenty home looking for a long time like he wasn't. Yeah,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: well he's not just to get there. Yeah, he had
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: like nine or something with like a month left in
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: the season or something crazy like that, and all of
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: a sudden he got hot enough to where he ended
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: up getting to twenty. It's if he doesn't dig himself
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: into a hole. I have a feeling that because when
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: he gets hot, he gets as hot as anybody gets.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, he he goes nuclear on people when all
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: of a sudden he starts feeling hot. And so if
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: he can get on that early, I mean, I think
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: you could be looking at a guy that's sitting at
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: around what his career average is now as the All
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Star break home runs wise, Now, all of a sudden,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: if he does that he's gonna already have twenty five
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: thirty stolen bases as well. You're gonna be talking about
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: a guy midway through the season as far as in
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: an MVP conversation gold glove conversation that could possibly go
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: forty forty, like I said, or even beyond now.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: It's interesting because I feel like Julio and the Mariners,
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: like the way that people treat both of them, Like
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: the organization of the Mariners as a whole and Julio
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: are very similar. There's you know, it's it's a lot
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: of well, we're gonna wait and see what they can do,
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: not high expectations, not saying, oh, yeah, this team's gonna
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: go to the playoffs to start the season.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: You know, there's so much we're gonna believe in you
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: because I'm gonna brace myself for you disappointment.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Yes exactly.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: And then when they disappoint or have a slump, it's, see,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: told you exactly what we thought was going to happen.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: And they do the same thing with Julio, they do
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: the same thing with the Mariners.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: It's and I don't understand it.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I think it's fair.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: And look, I mean, I mean, obviously the Mariners have
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of proving to do. Yeah, and they have
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: mishandled things here in the last ten years. Certainly over
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: fifty years, they've mishandled things. They've screwed things up. Yeah,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: And Julio's not a perfect baseball player by any stretch
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: of the imagination, and so he does have some things
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to shore up. But I do believe you're right, and
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: that people get so blinded by their expectations and their hope.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: You were supposed to be Ken Griffy Junior and you
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: haven't been that yet, and so now I exaggerate when.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: You do fit me exactly. Yeah, that's a good way
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: to put it.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I wanted to get one other thing in
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: on this because I think for year of cal to
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: take place for Julio, a lot has to lock into place,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and that includes like the psyche about it all, Like
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: you've got to be in the right mindset, You've got
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: to be ready to seize superstardom h when you're there.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, we watched Jared Kelnick versus Julio Rodriguez, and
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: it could not have been easy for Jared to sit
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: there and watch Julio become the face of the franchise
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: while he's struggling to hit over two hundred, and I
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: don't know if that drove him to such madness because
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: he was already a bit of a head case that
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: he couldn't get out of his own way. Maybe he
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: wasn't going to get out of his own way no
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: matter what. Or maybe watching somebody else flourish while he's
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: struggling was the death nail for Jared Kelnick in a
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Mariner uniform.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: That probably dangerous speculation, but it's hard for me not
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: to consider that. Well, I watched Julio, who had to
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: now go through the experience of watching Cal Rawley pass
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: him as the face of the franchise, this passion. Yeah,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: he had to watch Year of Cal even when he
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: was struggling back in April and May, and he had
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: to watch the love affair crow and blossom to this
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: fevered pitch. And now he's had to live with that
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: an entire offseason. I wonder how he'll handle that. I
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: wonder if that motivates him Bucky or discourages him, if
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: that makes him mentally stronger or mentally weaker. Because these
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: things do factor in. They are human beings. This is
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: why robot. If Huo was a robot, we just set
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: him to his talents and he'd have a forty forty season.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: But if he can really embrace, if he gets off
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: to a good start and kind of embrace.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Like.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: It is awesome that Cal and I are doing this
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: together when both superstars at the same time, he might
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: go out and Roger Marris the thing this year, you.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: But if he does get into a slump and it
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: does start to weigh on him that Cal that was
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: supposed to be me, which I'm not seeing any evidence
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: that that's true. They seem to get along really well,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: then it could end up damaging him going forward.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot of factors in it. Bottom line.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: In the last couple of minutes here of the segment,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I think there's a chance we're going to see the
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: year of Julio. I think it's I think there's a
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: and I've said this, I guess three years in a row,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: so why would you listen to me? But I think
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: it's gonna come together this year. I think he's got
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the right mindset for it, and certainly as the talent,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and if it can just get off to a decent
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: start in April. I think we're going to see that
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: magical year.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: We've been waiting for it. Well, I mean, I mean
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: you have said it, I've said it, We've all thought
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: it that this is the year that he's going to
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: break out, and yet he's really let us down and
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: only hit like thirty homers a year. So I mean
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: it's I mean, it's the guy is ready to pop.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: It's a matter of how he handles what you're talking
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: about being passed on the face of the franchise chart.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: But remember last year when they lost that Game seven,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: and I think it was wu was being interviewed and
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: you heard that primal scream from the showers. Yeah, that
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: was him. That's the dude that is twenty five years old,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: that has made the playoffs twice in his four years
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: he's been here, and yet was not satisfied with getting
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: further than the Seattle Mariners have ever gotten. He wasn't
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: He's not satisfied. So I don't think that he's satisfied
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: at sitting at a thirty two homer pace. I think
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: he knows he's capable of Ronald 'cunya numbers. I don't know,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: if anybody's necessarily capable of Aaron Judge numbers Judge and Otani,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: that's pretty much you could just go do your thing. Yeah,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: you do do your thing. But I think he's capable
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: of putting up numbers with anybody else that plays the game.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Juan Soto's I mean, he's not gonna hit for that
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: kind of average, have that kind of on base percentage.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: But he can hit for power, he can hit for average,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: he can and steel bases. He can do everything you
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: need to do. He actually has the clutch gene as well.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: He just at times tries too damn hard. I think
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: that it's a little bit of I have to do it. Well,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Now you have Naylor, you have Brendan Donovan, you have
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: cal who's comeing to it. You don't, you have a Rosarina,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: You don't have to carry anything.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: The pressure is just do you.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just go do you and you will. Gave me goosebumps.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Just gave myself goosebumps. Just go do you and you will.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: You will end up carrying this team plenty of the
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: games over the course of the season.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say, I feel like this year
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: is probably the least expectations placed on him for you know,
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: what the team needs from him, and maybe that alone
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: right there, just being able to go in saying like, Okay,
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: I don't have to get sixty home runs in order
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: for this team to make the playoffs.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: I could. It'd be really great.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: My expectations for you, if you're listening earlier, are higher
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: than ever before. All right, But you but to your point,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: because if they can just Mickey and Maris this thing
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: and you know, if Kyl has a right not at
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: sixty homers again, but yeah, if we've got a forty
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: homer a year catcher and a forty five homer a
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: forty forty five homer a year center fielder, what do
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: they do? What do they say? Build it up the middle?
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, and they're both in their twenties.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that'd be great.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Jeez, could be fun.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: All Right, We've got some breaking news from the National
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Football League, and I do wonder how it affects the
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Ken Walker situation.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about it next.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM signed him to
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: an extension three year, sixty three million dollars. Imagine that
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: that you are acquiring a tackle paying him twenty one
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: million dollars a year, and all they're asking for is
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: a fifth rounder. I would be like, wait a minute,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: is he not any good?
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: What's the catch?
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's going on here? Well, the Texans just pulled
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: off another trade here today, and so we can forget
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: about David Mott Montgomery on the plan B list if
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: ken Walker ends up playing on another team this year
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: via free agency. David Montgomery did get traded by the
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. He is heading to the Houston Texans. That's
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: a really good pickup for them for a fourth round pick,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman Juice Scrugs, good name, and a seventh round
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: pick next year in the draft. So David Montgomery no
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: longer will be that duo in Detroit. He will now
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: be the main mail carrier for the Houston Texans next season.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Now he's only on a one year deal. I think
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: like nine million dollars. I think it's eight against the cap.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: He's only on a one year deal and that's why
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: the trade compensation was not all that high because you're
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: only getting him for one season theoretically, But David Montgomery
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: could have been an interesting option for the Seahawks had
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: they lost ken Walker and we're sitting there sans running
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: back heading into twenty twenty six. But you can forget
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: about it now he is a Houston, Texan.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have been one of the options that
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: you could, like you said, get went out there and
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: kind of got cheaper because as at this point you
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: got ken Walker, and you got a you know on
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: the shelf, Zach sharbonnay, and then a line of some
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: guys haillanis that you know maybe are decent special teams,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: guys that.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I can't comfort you if George Hallane's are running back one.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Well, they would not, Yeah, they would not do that.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: That is a you know, in case of emergency break
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: glass type of a situation. And yet Montgomery was a
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: one of those options, right, Well, I guarantee Schneider's say, well,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: what do you think that's that could work if we
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: can't figure something out with ken Walker or if he
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: chooses to you know, hit the free agent market and
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: somebody pays him more than what we want to because
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: like you said, only one year. It's not a ton
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: of money, and not a ton you had to give
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: up draft wise or capital wise in the trade. So
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: but that's no longer one of the options. It's this
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: whole ken Walker thing is going to be interesting in
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: the coming week or two when we're figuring out how
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: the heck are they going to do this? Because I mean,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: the nice thing about being Super Bowl champions you don't
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: have a lot of holes. But when you've got free
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: agency and the fact that you are going to re
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: up a couple of big dogs, you know in Witherspoon
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: and JSN, you still got to figure out what you're
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: gonna do with the running back. It's fairly important.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and right now you're kind of operating from
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: ground zero at this point. I mean, I'm not worried
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: about it, panicked about it in any way. I mean,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: we are at the beginning of the off season and
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you've got three ways to address this. You can go
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: into free agency, you can draft, and you can trade.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: But as I was preparing to talk a lot about
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: ken Walker today as a matter of fact our nine
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: o'clock segment, if not ken Walker, then who is what
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I have written on my show Rundown for Chuck and
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Buck today, I was planning on talking about the possibility
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: of trading for David Montgomery. In that segment, and instead
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the Houston Texas beat me to the punch. I don't
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: even get to speculate about David Montgomery the Seahawk because
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: he now comes off of the board here today.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, you go David Montgomery in a draft pick,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: you know, Mike Washington junior from Arkansas, and maybe that's
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: your running duo for twenty twenty six, even though Montgomery's
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: just going to be a rental player, and the speculation
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: had been a fifth round selection. The Seahawks don't have one.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I think they have a fourth and a sixth, so
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: maybe they were discussing him. I have no idea, but
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: it ends up that fourth, a seventh and Juice Scrugs
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: will get it done. But that's one more guy not
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: available to try and replace Ken Walker if and all
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: that factors into negotiations here this week.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't know for sure. I mean, it's
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: you're right. I think the tempered you know, nerves should
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: be should be expected, did simply because of how early
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: we are in it. And yet it's one of those
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean from the get gos almost like
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: I mean when the Zach sharbone injury happened. You're like,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: oh boy, I mean, okay, now, okay, I guess maybe
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: this will be a good thing. Maybe we get to
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: see ken Walker with all the touches, right, maybe we
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: get to see what that's all about. Well, it couldn't
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: have worked out any better for ken Walker and for
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks. I mean, he got thrust into full time.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Here you go, go carry the rock. You're gonna there's
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: no split in carries any longer. And he did it,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: and he did it perfectly and helped, you know, lead
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: you guys to a super Bowl. And then now all
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, you're like, oh my fault, I've never
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: felt more in love with you then, and I do
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: now right Like now you've all you've just turned into
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the guy that I've wanted you to turn into, and
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: now you're gonna leave. It's one of those I mean,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: it almost feels like a tumultuous boyfriend girlfriend thing where
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: you didn't treat him all that well. And then when
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: they were getting ready to leave, like, wait, no, I
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: think I love you.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: I was just joking yet we're meant to be.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Well, where's the ring? I have a ring? I promise
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: it just storage four years, you could have proposed to
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: me and at this point now he's looking for a
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: new mate.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I would say, in defense of that argument, if
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: that's and I'm sure the agent's making that argument, my
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: defense would be, I'm not going to say it if
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I'm John Schneider, because that's not You don't introduce that
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: poisonous language into a negotiation if you really want to
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: keep the guy. But my feeling, if John's like, what
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: do you think, I'm like, he wasn't worth an extension,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and nobody I don't know if anybody like ken Walker
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: more than I did in his rookie season and saw
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the potential.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: And I was.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Predicting fifteen hundred yard seasons for the dude, and he
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: never really came. It never came together. There was no
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: point during his four years where I would have negotiated
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: with him an extent. I just wasn't seeing the back
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: that you would want to build around or break yourself
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: to try and build around. I saw the talent, I
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: saw the potential. We complained about it every Monday morning,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: like why isn't he getting the ball more? Why is
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: he not hitting the hole? Why is ken Walker not
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: a more effective running back when he seems to have
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: all the physical tools that requires to be great. We
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: didn't see greatness out of him but for a few
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: splashes over the course of four years and then in
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, and it helped guide the team to the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, which I think they would have won anyway,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: considering how dominant the defense was. But nonetheless, yeah.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: I don't mind.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I don't blame them for having not worked out a
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: deal with ken Walker. But if I'm the agent, I'm
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: certainly going to use that against him, and I'm going
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: to tell ken hey, we're not going to fall back
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: on sentimentality here. You're a free agent, you finally got here.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Let's go see what you're worth. It might be more
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: than what you realize. That's how I'm playing it if
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I'm the agent. But I don't have any problems with
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: the way John's played it to this point with ken Walker.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I really don't. No, I don't either. I mean, I
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: don't think that it would have been silly. I mean,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: just think about if they would have signed him to
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: a you know, even if it would have been somewhat
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: of a discount in hindsight, if it would have been
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: a ten million dollars a year, but they'd a signed
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: him to a four year extension right with two or
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: three years that guarantee coming off of what when you
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: done that after he'd played an eleven of seventeen games
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: because he was hurt. You know, when he rushed for
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: five hundred and seventy three yards, nobody would have done that.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: And the year before that he had nine hundred yards.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: And you're right, the rookie season was like, ooh, look
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: at this thousand yard runner.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I think we got something here. And it went down
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: and injured, and then down significantly and more injured. And
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: then this year they they you know, tempered his carries
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: with Zach Charboney to hopefully keep him healthy through the
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: entire season. It worked out where one of the two
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: of them stayed healthy the entire season. Both of them
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: did for majority of the season. Andy down the stretch,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: he's the one that ended up avoiding the big injury
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: and ended up, yeah, I help and guide the team
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: to a super Bowl. So to me, it's a I
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: think he's good. I think he's a guy you want
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: to bring back. He's definitely your best option you have
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: somewhat in house right now. But there's no guarantee is
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: going to be healthy. There's no guarantee he's going to
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: go off and do something crazy. So there's a number. Yeah,
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: there's a number. There's a number, and I'm not going
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: over I mean, yeah, his rookieyear, he rushed for seventy
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: yards a game. Since then, he hasn't even came close
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: to that. Yeah, So, I mean it's not he shouldn't
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: have gotten a contract up to this point, but he
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: just ran himself into a bigger contract, no doubt.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Well, and I mean the Seahawks too, are known for
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: not extending players that have multiple years on their contracts.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: They usually don't try to even work out a deal.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: They don't even start the conversation.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: Now, could they have done this this year or in
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: the offseason before this season started their talks with Ken Walker, Yeah,
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: they could have.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: He rushed for five hundred and seventy three yards last
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: year and played in twelve games.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, you're not jumping at the chance to say, like, well,
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: we've seen what that guy can do.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Let's recite him right now, Let's give him a lot
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: of money.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, it seemed like they wanted him to prove
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: it and he did, So there you go, and I
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: think that's fair on both sides.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: They wanted to see him prove it, and it still
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: hadn't until the playoffs.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I mean there were times during the season where Mike
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: McDonald was choosing for David for Zach Charbonay to be
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the ball carrier in pivotal moments of the game. I
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: trust charbon Ay more right now to help us win
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: this football game. I mean, when you're having that experience
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: frequently during the course of the regular season. Yeah, and
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: then he goes off and shows the world what he's
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: capable of. It's too late at that point. I mean,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: so I don't I don't. I don't blame them for
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: the way that they've handled this. But he might have
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: picked a great time, or he did pick a great
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: time to play his best football in the National Football League.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: It probably has driven his price up, and we'll see
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: if the Seahawks can satisfy him before a free agency
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: hits on Monday. We'll talk more about it because I
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: do want to go through some other options, especially now
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: that David Montgomery's off the board.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: We'll do that at nine o'clock.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: It's Chucking Buck Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: More on Ken.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Walker coming up in the nine o'clock hour here on
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Chucking Buck in the mornings here on this Monday. But man,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: this is almost I don't know if maybe I'm a
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: little freaked out all of the sudden.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Are you this is just weird? It's freaking out.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Well, Ashley, Bucky just told me that we were talking
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: about him throwing kids around the pool on the vacation
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: and he was throwing them the nerve ball and he
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: was talking about how accurate his throws were. Oh, he
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: couldn't have been more pretty. And while you were away
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: we had a conversation. I don't think I missed a
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: single paper watch shot one while you were gone, Like
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Not one.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think that I did. Like it was like,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: and then as soon as you came back, I missed
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: my first one.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: He even shot it. And I went into his headset
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: and I said, did you make it? And he just
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: looked at me and he goes.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that we're putting pressure on each other,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: but maybe when we're not in the same room, we
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: do really athletically excel?
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah you think?
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, maybe I mean for what they were, the
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: pressure is off that we just don't think about it
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: subconsciously and we just performed, you know what I mean?
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean I feel like in nine years
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: into this, we should understand one another's you know, you know,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: the way in which you go to I mean, I'm
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: cheering for you to make every paperwase. I mean I
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: don't feel your support, do you not?
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's it, you know, maybe we had to have
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: this conversation.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Hey, sometimes communication is the first and only thing necessary
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: to make the adjustment. I mean I will from now
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: on when I hear the crumpling, I will turn my
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: chair a little bit more towards you know, maybe give
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: like a I'll sit up a little more in my
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: chair because I want you to make it. I really
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: do I feel for you when you have to go
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: pick it up? Yeah? Yeah, I mean I feel pressure.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: I think I might add to the no no, no,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: no pressure because it doesn't count.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: You need to pick it up right away, save it
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: till the end, and then pick up all the misses.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I just think it's weird.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I just think it's weird that we were so accurate
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: when we weren't in the same room throwing things.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is. It's a weird coincidence. I
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: did not realize that there was some unnecessary pressure on
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: you shooting left handed into that waste paper back.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: When I found out while you were both gone at
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl and at spring training that I could
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: throw a football a mile?
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Is that Ryra Mountains?
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah? And now you're back and I can't, Uncle Rico. Yeah.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: And I don't know if that's because you guys were
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: gone and not sucking all of the talent out of
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: the state at the time.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Obviously there's something about our throwing abilities where if we're
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: in the opposite, if we've further apart we are, the
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: better we are.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Weird.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: I would have never thought that. Explain that scientists.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a Tyson grass guy or neo grass guy,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: the order of whatever. And where's he at when you
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: need him?
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: We got some questions.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: I think that he would probably look at us and
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: probably punch us all in the head.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this conversation.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Scientifically figure out how to do one punch that would
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: land on all three of us.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: In fact, it's Tyson in his name. Uh so, yeah,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But the trip was good. You got
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: everything done that you needed accomplished. Yeah, while you were away,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: you didn't come back thinking, oh, had I just done.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: That before I had to deal with Ashley and Chuck again. Well,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: I mean there's thousands of those things you know that
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: I wish I could have done. Yeah, like find another
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: job and other things like that. But no, I I
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: went to the taco joint that I told you about.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Remember I told you how excited I was about there's
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: a certain Gordo's tacos talked to Carneis out of tacos.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: I mean they're real legit, yeah, Mexican talk. I mean
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: they're the way you're supposed to eat them. We had
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: that twice, so I got that out of the way.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: We I did have one thing, one negative thing. I
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: basically didn't drink the whole time. I mean I did
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: one night with you, Hugh and I and and a
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: couple other friends heard that. Yeah, okay, Well there are stories,
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: We heard about Hugh host helping host a show.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Uh yes, Margarita's uh sure it was on with either I.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Think, oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. We had a couple
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: of margarita's that day, and then he had to go
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: on for a couple hours with with Dick, and I
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: was like, yeah, not me, sitting right here and polishing
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: off the rest of the margarita's. And then we went
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: out to the Dustin Nickerson show that night. It was great.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Then Nickerson and another one of his comedy buddies, they
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: came out afterwards and met us. That was a fun night.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Other than that, though, I had multiple times sitting at
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: the pool with no beer in my hand, and I
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: would sit there and think to myself, like, what am
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: I doing? I feel like I'm doing this wrong.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I have on vacation.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Why do I not have an alcohol broken?
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: I exactly a hundred percent. I actually said it to
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: my wife. I'm like, I just I don't really want
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: a beer right now. I don't really want a cocktail
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: right now, but I kind of feel like I should.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Right It's an obligation on vacation.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: That's my entire drinking life right now. Like I don't
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: even like I don't even know if I even like
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: doing it anymore, but I like doing things that include it.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm. I care about flavor, anymore.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Like no, I just I just feel so much better
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: when I don't, And so I like that and I
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: like getting in the groove and it doesn't take very
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: long when you can tell the difference, and then you
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: sleep better and all of that stuff, all of that stuff,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: and then sure enough, I haven't had a martini night
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: in like six weeks, did martinis on Friday night, hardly
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: slept at all that night, And that's my opportunity to like,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: you know, rest and recover. And you don't do a
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: very good job when you've added alcohol to it.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: It's a very strange thing. And yet the very next
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: day on Saturday, I'm like, I just want to go
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: outside in the sunshine and drink it.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: That's all I wanted to do. So I did.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well drinking is better in the sunshine.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is day drinking in the sunshine, this
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: nice spring early spring day. I'm really having a battle
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: with it, really having a battle.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: With it, right like it. Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So yeah, it is okay, it is okay, we'll
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: figure it. We'll find a way through it. I did me.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: I'm just wondering if you're allowed to go on vacation again.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: If you're going to be broken like.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: That, well, I wouldn't. I did end up buying a
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: couple different times. I bought a beer, even though it
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: was like I don't necessarily want one, but that dad
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: has one and that mom has one, and that dad,
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: I'm doing it wrong, Kate. Yeah, so I got when
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: I've got one, I don't really want.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: This great Well apparently has very strong mind ties. Was
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: what I found out from a friend who had recently gone.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: You and I are on the same page. That's another
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: part of it too. Is there like twenty eight dollars
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: beverage the big jacket up there? Man? It's weird, Like.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you all right, Throwing accuracy improved and we
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: were on the exact same page. Alcohol was since when
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: we were apart for Friday Night. Weird, all right? Coming
• 38:38
