  Speaker 2: Hi, Cam Cleland.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Well, good morning, Chuck. How are we doing today, brother?
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: We're doing all right. Are you getting fired up for Halloween?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Do you still get fired up for Halloween at all?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Are the kids too old now at this point? You know,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: did the doctor tell you to stop eating Reese's peanut
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: butter cups by the handful?
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: What happened?
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: It's the greatest month of the year. It's the best holiday.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, you can call it what you want. I
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: don't care if you call it a holiday or not.
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: But no, I love this month.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: What's not to love about Halloween? Seriously, you get to
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: dress up. A little different look. You could put on
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: cool costumes. People give you candy. I mean, explain how
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: that's not a bad thing.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: It's fantastic. It's fantastic.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: If you could dress as one of your former UW
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: teammates for Halloween, go.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Door to door, who would you choose? Oh, yeah. Bob
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Sapp all day long. Bob Sapp.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. Bob Sapp.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Bob Sapp is legends of legends. Yeah.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: There's... There's tens of listeners right now that have no
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: idea who he is.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Tens of listeners.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Well, they need to look him up then. That's one
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: worth looking up.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: He's a Japanese legend.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: He's where he got his K-1 stardom. But I have
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: three stories of Bob Sapp that are just legendary at watch.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: But someday we'll get into that. That might be a
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: whole segment. But it's, yes, Bob Sapp is wonderful. Number 72.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Right guard started as a D lineman, probably had two
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: percent body fat as a D.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Lineman and then moved to offensive lineman. Just freak zoid.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Please work it out that you and Bob go trick
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: or treating together at some point. No door to door.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: How amazing would that be? Hey, trick or treat.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Just give me Reese's. That's it.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: That's the candy. It's the Epic of candies. It's the
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: top echelon. Just don't hand me anything else. Don't put
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: any raisins.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: So like crap near me. Don't give me almond joys.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Don't want any part of that. Just Reese's.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I think that's a fair request.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Uh, all right.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: We, we laugh. We talk about Halloween because maybe it
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: distracts us a little bit from the topic at hand. Uh,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Huskies had a bad night on Friday, and it's really
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: hard to explain it any other way. I mean, they
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: played some bad football, and they got to get their
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: arms around it because you can't see another game like
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: this this Friday night against Purdue.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Well, you're right. It was hard football to watch. It
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: was a Friday game, and I'm not a huge fan
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: of Friday games, but it's what you do and how
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: you play. And from the get-go, I mean, I saw
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: some things that I liked early from the defense. You know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: the three and outs were there. The stops were there.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: It's just we couldn't get– we haven't played a game
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: where both teams have had the kind of success.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: When I say both teams, offense and defense, both teams
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: have had the kind of success to really– see one
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: team feed off each other, one group feed off each other.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: And that just not happened. The defense got discouraged in
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: my mind. They're like, look, we, we got a couple
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: of stops. We got a couple of stops, three in
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: a row, nothing. And then, and then the floodgates opened
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: a little bit and you saw, I would just, if
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: you put it on film, really, you can't hide behind
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: the fact that you got physically beat, you know, because
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: football fight, right? Chuck, the ones on the, everybody needs
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: to understand it's 85 fights. That's, I mean, it plays
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: like physically fighting you. There's not a lot of people
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: that can comprehend it. You can see it, but as
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: a player, you got to fight.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: We lost 75% of those fights.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: Uh, and that's a lot that that one's hard to
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: swallow and tremendously at the line of scrimmage. When you
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: lose your fight at the line of scrimmage and the
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: physical battle. that's demoralizing a little bit and so that
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: means it doesn't mean that the huskies aren't tough and
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: it doesn't mean that they're not physically strong like weight
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: room strong right there needs to be a transition into
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: the next games and how we go on the road
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: especially this week in purdue how you physically represent yourself
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: at the line of scrimmage is how you carry the
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: team and let's make some more plays so it sounds
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: easy but it's it's more of a mindset at this
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: point yeah.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I certainly took note of your quick three after the game.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I think you've already covered two of those with that answer.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: The O-line group has been underwhelming at best. The defense
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: got bullied at the line of scrimmage. And then your
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: third thing was that obviously you were worried about Desmond,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: or excuse me, Demond, and his injury. But you also
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: acknowledged that the quarterback situation has to be addressed. So
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: how would you address it?
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Well, it seems like it's been addressed. In my mind,
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: this week is how it's gone is that Devon is injured.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: And I've had major– I broke three ribs and played
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: with it before. I had to sleep in a chair
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: for two months and take shots to be able to
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: play in the game. I'm not diagnosing Devon. I don't
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: know his injuries in detail. I just know from what
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: I've heard from practice about– Elijah getting the majority of
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: the reps. I understand that. Coach Fish is going to
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: make this decision on who the quarterback play is. And
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: now it's a different offense under Elijah Brown. It's just
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: completely different. DeMond's our leading rusher when it comes to
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: carries at 64.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: We only have six.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Touchdowns on the ground all year on the ground as
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: a group. Now, Elijah came in a completely different scenario. Down,
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: had to throw, and threw some great throws. The situation
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: with DeMond is that he's the starter until Coach Fish
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: says he's no longer the starter. And that's how it works.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: And will he go on the trip? Will he be
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: the one that is the backup role? I don't have
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: that answer for you either. But as far as I'm concerned,
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: at this point, it's– The guy that gets all the
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: reps during the week of practice is the one. That's
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: just how this works. I don't know very many quarterbacks.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: I've seen it done a couple times in my career,
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: but only at the NFL level where a quarterback took
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: time off during the week and then played on Sunday.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: That doesn't happen in college football. It's the guy who
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: gets the reps during the week.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: If you were standing on the sideline with DeMond Saturday
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: while Brown was playing, would you have even had to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: say a word to him Do you think that he
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: would watch that and figure out how quickly Elijah was
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: getting rid of the football? It's not that he was
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: making extraordinary throws. It's not that he is the talent
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: that DeMond Williams is. He wasn't waiting for the most
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: open receiver from play to play. He was getting it
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: to the first open receiver and was having success with it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Do you think DeMond picks up on that going forward?
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: Well, I think every room is competitive, and let me
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: just explain it as quickly as possible. No room on
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: football planet Earth is more competitive than the quarterback room.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Everybody that sits in there thinks they're a starter, and
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: everybody has a Liam Neeson special set.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Of skills, correct?
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: That's just how this works in the offensive room and
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: in the quarterback room. There's only 32 jobs in the world,
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: and out of those 32, 10 of them do elite.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: At that level, at the NFL level. Okay, let's put
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: 137 in Division I level. Power, 131 jobs, 37 jobs.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: 25 to 30 do it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: At a very, very high level.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: That's how competitive that position is.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: And then we're talking in the world, Chuck. There's no
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: other industry that can do that. Sorry, just you can't.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: It doesn't work that way. So to wrap it all back,
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: the Mon has a special set of skills. And Elijah
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: has a special set of skills. And how you combine
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: and how you coach them is different. Somebody was born
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: with elite speed, athleticism, great arm strength.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: And that's what DeMond does.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: He sometimes reverts back to what he's so great at, athleticism,
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: escaping the pocket, creating plays. He made people look stupid
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: in high school. He's made some unbelievable running plays and
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: some great stuff with his feet in college already.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Elijah's had... skill set is getting ready to the football,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: his patience, his arm, his reading of the routes.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: And this is how quarterback play works all across the country.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: So if you find somebody that's a unicorn that gets both,
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: that's called a Heisman Trophy winner. Uh, there's just, there's
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: something unique about it. So if I looked at demand,
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: of course, demand sees it. And do you think demand.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Was happy going up the tunnel, grabbing his ribs, hearing
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: people boo at him?
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Do you think that was a good feeling? I mean,
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: I know distinctly that's a horrible feeling. I've been booed,
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: but that's why I don't put stock in fans as
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: a former athlete.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I love fans.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: I'm a fan. I appreciate fans. I value them. I
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: don't live and die by it. And it's hard on
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: those guys.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: He got, he got paid money.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: And all of this, but yeah, I, I don't like
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: the attitude of, of booing young athletes. I just never,
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: never been a fan of it and I won't do
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: it nor I'll criticize them constructively, not their character, but
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: their play and effort.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, I will.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: So I think the quarterback situation is difficult for coach
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: fish right now. And a lot of people are fans
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: and those that are out there love to pile on
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: and complain. But right now this is a physical problem, right?
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: That, going on. Physical.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: So you can win football games if you can beat
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: people at the line of scrimmage.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Chuck, that's how this works.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Uh, well, I do like, you know, what I
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: am a fan of is a football analyst who can
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: drop some Liam Neeson just in there, just out of nowhere.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Special set of skills. Yeah.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: I really like that. You should know. I have a
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: special set of skills and I will find the open
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: receiver and I will get him.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: I will find him. Well, I set you up for that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Um, all right.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: So talking about like emotions, like the honks after the game.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: were very fired up as you might expect, you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: those three guys love them. You love football just as
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: much as you do. Uh, and they were, I mean,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: they were like time for a change, you know, I'm
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: so dissatisfied with this season. It's time for a change.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: You have been consistent where you don't feel you're anywhere
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: near that, or at least haven't been, uh, to this point. Um,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: so where are you at with just the program right now?
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, I, hesitate to ask you i don't want
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: to put you in an awkward position you being the
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: voice of the dogs um but it is a conversation
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: that's being held and i wanted to get your perspective
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: on whether or not you feel jet fish is on
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: the ropes right.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Now Yeah, I don't.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: I don't look at my my internal self because I've
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: lived through so much of it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: I lived being cut.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: I lived being having a coach leave in the middle
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: of my training camp who I loved and adored. And
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: Don James quit. I've had coaches fired in midseason. I've
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: been a part of all of it. I do not
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: to this core to my day. ever call for anybody's
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: job ever, nor will I ever do it. And it's
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: because that's just part of my creed as an athlete.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: And what I do is a football player and it's,
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: I'm not a football player anymore.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: I'm an analyst.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: So I analyze football plays and I talk about my
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: pride as a Husky football player. That's, that's me to
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: the core. I'm not playing safe either because that's not,
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: that's not what I did. That's just not part of
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: my character. Cause there's a season and I've seen multiple
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: seasons flip around. I've seen teams on a downside. I've
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: seen all that stuff. I know the inner workings and
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: looking at these young athletes that are freshmen out there.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: I knew that there were 15 of 22 starters that
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: were first or second year players going into this season.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: A lot of people didn't dive into that until they
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: saw we're really young. Does that make an excuse for mistakes? No,
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: but it's also, I know the reality of playing with
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: young players is, And this is a man's football game.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: You can put freshmen in skill positions, and sometimes.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: They can be really good.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Julio Jones, those that are watching the Saban documentary, rare freshman,
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Mark Ingram, that can be really great.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: You cannot sustain men against younger.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: Men with freshmen at the point of attack. consistently over time.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: You need veteran strength, veteran experience, all of that. Jed
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: knew that, and he knew that going into the season.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: I was hoping that some of these guys could mature
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: and grow really quickly, and that's what we're working for,
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: and that's the talent that I see in this program
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: that is there right now.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: So, no, I don't.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: I don't look at football that way. I don't call
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: for people's heads. That's insanity in my brain. It's just
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: how I think. Tweets their own, though. Those that are
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: out there, that's fine. You can have that opinion.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Cam Cleland is with us. Voice of the Dogs, former
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Husky tied in, joins us every Wednesday at this time
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: to talk some Husky football. And they will have a
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: chance to redeem themselves this Friday a little bit against
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the Purdue Boilermakers. Another Friday night game. This one on
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: the road. Purdue goes into this one two and a
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: half game favorite. They're coming off a blowout victory over
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: a Minnesota team that had beaten The Huskies earlier this year.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think that I even need to ask the question.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I know what you're going to say is going to
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: be the key to this game, and that is getting
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: back to the line of scrimmage and getting back to
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: just playing the fundamental football and make sure you shore
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: up that against Purdue on Friday. Am I wrong?
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: No, you're not wrong. I mean, look, they got 11
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: touchdowns on the ground.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: They got it back.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: A good boy who is... I mean, he ran all
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: over Minnesota. Did we run over Minnesota?
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: No, we did not.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: He's really, really– he's got nine touchdowns by himself. I mean,
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: Ryan Brown's a good quarterback that they have, solid quarterback.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: They run a very similar system to what USC runs.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: They're going to run some spread. They're going to run
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: a lot of RPO.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: They're going to have some quarterback design runs on offense. Defense,
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: you know, this is– they're going to load the box
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: up front and make us potentially be one-dimensional defensively. as
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: I see it right now with Elijah, if we turn
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: into the run, run and shoot, well, unfortunately we don't
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: have the run part.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: So I guess we're going to call it the shoot
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: and shoot. So I mean, just that, that might be
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: what we are. It might be the skip. It might
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: be the run, skip, shoot and run.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: That's funny because all the run and shoot teams through
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: like 50 times a game. Why was it ever called
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: the run? It should have at least been called the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: shoot and run.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: That's what I thought. I was like, no, run is precedent. No, no, no.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: It should be the shoot run and then hope at
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: the end. That's what it should be. So at this point,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: that's what I'm looking for. I'm going to look for.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: This is why Coach Fish and his staff get paid
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: what they pay. They get to put this game plan together,
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: put the strengths of their group together. find that coach
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: walters on defense has got to find a way to
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: win the line of scrimmage back on defense and not
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: give up big plays like that because that was that
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: was a very poor effort by the defense and they
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: know it so those things and then being on the
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: road you're on natural grass which i like that might
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: change a few things we'll see how that goes but
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: all those things have to come to fruition on a
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: friday night on the road flying halfway across the country
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: and playing at night And I love the challenge.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Some guys in the locker.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Room are like, man, this sucks.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: There are.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: It's just mentally built into some of them. And others
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: are like, give me this, man, dude. Because let me
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: just tell all you guys that are listening. None of
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: them are listening. It's gone before you know it. Don't
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: wish games away. It's fantastic that you get to play
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: college football. No matter how much it sucks, it's awesome.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: It's unbelievable to get a chance to do that. So
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: we need that mindset heading into Friday. I want to
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: see the kind of fight we have. You know, when
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: you get punched– Do you get back up or do
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: you just lay down with the guy punching the face
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: over and over again? That's your choice, man.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Figure it out.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so regardless of quarterback, it's about getting back to
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: playing line of scrimmage.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Football on Friday. It's going to be the only way, Chuck.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: It's going to be the only way this team either
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: lives or dies at this point is figuring out how
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: to win the line of scrimmage.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: You can't play football and play backwards.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Sorry about Coach Ditka. I did like your video.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: It was amazing.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: It was amazing.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Not very many people appreciate how good a cigar is
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: the first time it hits your lips. I did not
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: appreciate it, and boy, do I remember it.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: He didn't skimp either. I mean, that thing was enormous.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: If you ever saw one of his cigars in person, which,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: of course, you have, I mean, it was like the
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: state of New Hampshire that he was holding between his fingers.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: It was like a loaf of bread. I remember him
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: handing it to me. I melted across the desk as
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: it was coming out. I'm like, wow, look at this thing.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: What am I supposed to do with this? I mean,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: write it.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: All right. Let's figure this out.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I love he has that. He always had that tight
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: end kinship though. I mean, he, I'm sure he loved all,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: you know, facets of the game, but you, you tight
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: ends take them under your wing, you know, kind of thing.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: Oh, he, he was, man, he was, he was constantly,
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: constantly about, I could do it better than I could
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: do it better.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: It's like, that's, he just knew it because it was
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: his position.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: He's a Hall of Famer.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: You just, you felt that at every point in time,
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: he'd walk up to me and just punch me right
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: in the ribs, right behind.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: He'd freaking punch that guy and just walk behind me.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: He wouldn't do it to anybody else.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: He just punched me right in the ribs and said,
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: you don't learn to punch somebody in the balls. I
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: don't know what it takes, but you got to do
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: something different. And so I just was like, all right, coach,
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: love him or hate him, he was incredible.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, he was a force. He was a force of nature.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: All right, well, thank you, sir. We appreciate it. Have
• 18:38

  Speaker 2: the color analyst for your Seattle Kraken right here on

  Speaker 2: the flagship Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Winning's fun, isn't.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: It, Al? Oh, it absolutely is fun, especially on the road.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: Those wins just taste a little sweeter.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is it getting in the way of you and Everett,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: your pool time and your exploring of Philadelphia and its history?
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Did you go to Benjamin Franklin's house before the game yesterday?
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: No.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: We did. We did some touristy stuff. We did some
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: foodie stuff, and the weather's been great. You know, don't
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: tell Everett that, because he likes to brag about Detroit,
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: but the weather was pretty good there. And now we're
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: in southern Florida, enjoying a bit of a day off
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: here at Busch Gardens, trying to make ourselves throw up. Wow.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Are you riding rides? Are you really riding rides there?
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah. Yeah. So, so JT Piper and I have
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: done Disneyland a few times on Southern California trips and
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: we always give Everett a bad time because he never
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: comes with us. Well, JT and the argument is, is
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: that he doesn't want to spend a lot of money
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: on tickets. Well, JT covered the ticket costs. So Everett
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: didn't have a choice, but to come with us, of course,
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Busch garden, Busch garden roller coasters are a step above Disneyland.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: If you've been before and, Let's just say, I don't
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: think you call it throwing up if it never leaves
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: your mouth, but I enjoyed my breakfast twice this morning.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: There we go, Al. There we go. All right, well,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: let's talk about the team. And look, I've discussed this
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: on the show. I want to get your thoughts. I mean,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, seven games, we can't figure
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: out much in seven games, but I'll say this. I mean,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: this is a pretty consistent effort of offense. We've also
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: seen a team win the first three games of a
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: five-game road trip, regardless of how good the competition was.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: We even saw this team win a shootout, which is
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: something they've not done consistently since they came into existence.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: In other words, we're seeing things that we've not seen
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: in a while from this team, and I'm curious if
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: you think that they're real going forward.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Well, I think they're real in that it's checking some boxes.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: You just mentioned one of them, the team. Yeah, they
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: managed to find a way to win against Philadelphia last night,
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: who was 0-7 coming into the game. And you think, well,
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: this is going to be an easy game. But they're
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: a team backed into a corner right now. They're playing
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: with urgency. And it showed there as they made a
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: comeback in the third period. But Good teams find a
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: way to win, and the Kraken did that last night.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: They did struggle in the shootout last year, and they
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: had two goals last night in the shootout. Matty Beneers
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: got the first one, and it was Bobby McMahon with
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: the game winner. So you're seeing changes like that, which
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: are positive signs that things are trending in the right direction.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: But make no mistake, the hardest part of this trip
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: is coming up tomorrow night against Tampa Bay and Saturday
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: against Florida, where depending on how those two games go,
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: you're really going to get a sense for how this
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: team looks early in the season.
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Al, are you noticing more resilience with this team?
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: Because in multiple different facets, number one, when Philly came
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: back from a two goal deficit in the third period,
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: it felt like previous versions of the Kraken may have
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: had a tough time kind of getting themselves back up
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: to get back in the front foot. But I would
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: say they were the much better team after Philly tied
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: the game. So both from a macro perspective, but also
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: a resilience from a, hey, I'm going to hit your
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: guy after you hit us after the Trevor Zegers, Philip
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: Grubauer situation yesterday. So just in general, are you noticing
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: a more resilient kind of nature with this Kraken team?
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think resilience is definitely one of those words
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: you'd use when you're describing team toughness. And everybody thinks, well,
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: team toughness is fighting. It's so much more than that.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: It's standing up for each other. It's standing up for
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: your goaltender. It's your goaltender standing up for himself. And,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: you know, it's also battling back when, you know, things
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: have swung the other way, which they did last night.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: This team's definitely got the leadership on the bench to
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: get the minds focused on, hey, we gave up a
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: couple of goals here. We're fine. It's tied up. We've
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: got to find a way to win. I think that's
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: exactly what you need for a team that's going to
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: go the distance and make the playoffs because it's that
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: kind of leadership that gets you through those little valleys
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: that happen in every game.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I know Grubauer was good in the shootout. We have
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: a win to show for that. But he seemed like
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: he wasn't caught off guard by anything that they tried.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Was that an exceptional overtime performance from him?
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, Gribby's a competitor to the core. And,
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: you know, I think that that battle he was having
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: with Trevor Zegers, and it wasn't just the one situation
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: where Zegers shot the puck at him after the whistle
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: and then Grubauer gave him a shot. This had been
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: going on for the entire game. And I think for
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: the guy like Grubauer, when... He finds a villain like that.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: He raises his game. He wants to show these guys
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: that he's not going to let them beat him. I
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: think that's good for a guy like Grubauer. He loves
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: the competitiveness of the game, and he certainly loves it
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: when it's an individual that's out there that he can
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: try and get under their skin.
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, what about the power play? It seems like that's
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: been kind of a little bit of a revelation this year.
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: They get another one last night in the first goal
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: of the game from Bobby McMahon. What have you seen
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: that's been different about the way they're doing things with
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: the man advantage?
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Well, it's definitely a shoot-first mentality. And when I say that,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: there's obviously plays that are being set up. So I'm
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: not saying every time it's on the stick of a
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Kraken player, they're putting it on net, but they're always
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: thinking there's an option here. That's number one. Number two is...
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: It's about the quick shots. And what I mean by
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: that is that goal that Bobby McMahon scored, it wasn't
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: a puck that ended up on his stick. He got
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: his head up, looked for a spot to put it
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: back on that. It was boom, boom. It was back
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: on that. And to beat a guy like Dan Vodar,
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: which is to say Dan Vodar's had our number over
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: the years. You've got to take shots on him like that.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: You can't give him time to get set up. So
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: that was a good goal scorer's goal. It was a
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: power play goal, like you said. But it's all about
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: that quick shot, and I think you're starting to see
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: this team make those shot decisions much faster on the
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: power play this year, which is why they're having more success.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Al Koneski is with us, just brushed his teeth, feeling
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: really good about things right now. Down at Bush Carpenter.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: I'll take a Gatorade, guys. Yeah, grab a Gatorade for me.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Could use some electrolytes back in your system here at
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: this stage in the process. Look, you said something that
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: triggered for me because last year all we heard about
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: was Lane Lambert being frustrated. We're not getting enough shots
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: on goal, not getting enough shots on goal. Has the
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: message gotten through? Are we starting to see here in
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: year number two that Lane Lambert beating that drum? he's
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: actually getting out of his roster that message delivered.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: Well, I think he's going to beat that drum all
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: year because as much as we talk about his defensive
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: structure and how important that is to his system, he
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: always wants more shots on net. And what's interesting is
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: if you look back over all the seven games so far,
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: eight games, whatever it's been, the only game that the
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: Kraken have outshot their opponents so far is game one
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: versus Calgary. Every other game, they've been either outshot, or
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: I think it ended up tied last night. So I
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: think Lane Labbert still feels like, hey, our shooting percentage
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: might be second or third best in the league right now,
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: but I don't think we can sustain that over 84 games.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: And the only way to bust through that is to
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: put more pucks on net. So I think that's going
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: to be an ongoing message from him, that if he
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: sees a guy look off a shot where you're in
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: a prime position... he's going to let you know, hey,
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: that puck needs to go on net, especially if you've
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: got traffic in front because that's how a lot of
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: these goals go in. It's through screens. It's off sticks.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: It's off legs. It's not necessarily clean shots.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not just a trip for rides in Florida
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: and a little warmth and some sunshine. I mean, it
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: is a trip to face two of the best teams
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: in the NHL here over the course of the next
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: three days, as you pointed out. So your mindset, if
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: this team comes back 3-2, got the job done but
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: didn't get it done in Florida, versus 4-1, you actually
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: got one of those two games in Florida, versus 5-0,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: how will you be feeling flying back to Seattle?
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you come back three and two, you're
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: playing with house money right now, which is to say
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: these are two tough games. They're games that the Kraken
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: are going to have to go to battle in. If
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: they come out of them with a point in each
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: game because they take them to overtime or they sneak
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: a win out, it's an exceptional road trip. But even
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: coming home three and two with this road trip is
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: probably the– Not the best you can expect, but the
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: least you can expect. So I'd call it a success
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: if that's where it ends up. But this team's going
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: hunting for points tomorrow, and they're going to battle these
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: two Florida teams.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Are you going to get a cotton candy? What are
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: you going to do now at the amusement park?
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Do they sell Pepto-Bismol at these.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Parks?
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Why don't you get an artist rendering those people that
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: draw those cartoon things on the side of you throwing up?
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: And Everett holding your hair in the back.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: I want to ride the kiddie rides for the rest
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: of the day.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you should. Just get a nice meal
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: and a kiddie ride. All right, well, have fun in Florida.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Be safe, and we'll talk to you next week.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: All right, boys. Take care. All right.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Al Koniski joining us as he does every Wednesday at 9.30.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Cracking an action against the Lightning tomorrow. That'll be a
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: 4 o'clock start. A lot of those starts here as
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: of late as they do this East Coast trip. The
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Lightning off to a 4-2 start. Of course, you can
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: hear the action right here. Is it going to be
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: on KJR? I believe it is. Are we on KJR
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: tomorrow with that? So your flagship for Seattle Kraken hockey.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: All right, coming up next on the radio program, one
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: last thing to close it out on a Wednesday, Sports
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Radio 93.3 KJR FM. All right, ready to close things
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: out here on Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Our final
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: segment of the day before we hand things off to
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell and Jessamyn McIntyre. Two fine people. They'll do
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: a wonderful job with the baton that we hand them.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: They won't fumble it. They won't have to go back
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: and pick it back up.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Nothing like that.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: It doesn't get dirty. They won't rip a hole in
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: their shorts. From what? Leaning over to.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Grab the baton.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Okay. Because they wear tight pants, the two of them. Yes.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: Everybody knows that.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I guess that is a well-known fact. When they run track,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: they wear the tightest shorts in town. Everybody knows that
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: about those two. Anyway, they'll be coming your way at
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: the top of the hour. But we close things out
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: with one last thing. Anders, what do you got?
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: Well, and it got announced a little bit less than
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: an hour ago that Cole Young is a finalist for
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: the Gold Glove at second base in the American League.
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: I just wanted to give him a quick shout out.
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: He was one of the few bright spots in the
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: season for the Seattle Mariners, especially on the defensive side
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: of the ball.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Atticut.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Atticut.
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: Um so hopefully he wins it i think he has
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: a good chance he's with michael massey and chase my
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: drop not exactly household names no i wouldn't think so
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: and you know obviously we've we've watched him defensively all
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: year i know this team has had issues defensively probably
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: the worst defensive team in baseball but he was not
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: a part of that he was a very good defensive
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: second base.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: You know looking at that short list i think he's
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: got a really good chance of winning it yeah um
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: I guess my draw, I would think, would be his
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: chief competition. Massey didn't even play every day. He's more
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: of like a utility guy. I think he was playing
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: second base for the most every day in the second
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: half of the season. But I've got to believe.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: More time at second base gives you a little bit
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: of an edge.
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah and my job has a better often had the
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: better offensive season for sure uh but i think cole
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: young definitely has a shot to uh you know for
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: it's the gold glove i should say so it's the
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: defensive side of the ball so go go get it cole.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Go go go get a kid all right boy uh
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: all right cred what do you got for your one
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: last thing in there I briefly mentioned it yesterday. I'm
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: going goggles for my one last thing.
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: So the continuation is I have successfully got my goggles
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: and I am ready for athletics this weekend.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Do you have them with you? I'll bring them tomorrow. Yeah,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: you got to wear them tomorrow during the show. I'll
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: do that. Because what happens if I accidentally, you know,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: stick a finger in your eye? I'd be very upset.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: But hey, you know, at least I have goggles on now.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: So.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, Anders, you never know what could happen
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: during the course of a work day together.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: True.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I would hate to be, let's say I'm
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: doing some woodwork on a miter saw. And I would
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: hate for some of my shrapnel to get in kids' eyes.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, of course.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: What if I was trying to like whittle like, you know,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: replica dolls of all the show hosts? For voodoo purposes?
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Perhaps.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, that depends on who buys them, I guess. Yeah,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: I'm just the craftsman. If there's some sick bastard out
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: there that wants to stick pins in a Greg Bell
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: voodoo doll, there's nothing I can do. I shouldn't get blamed. No. Yeah.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: The point is, I want to see Kid in a
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: pair of safety goggles.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: And I want to see him during the show just
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: in case, you know. You never know what freak incident
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: might occur. I don't want him to lose an eye
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: on my watch. Thank you, Chuck. I will be locked
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: and loaded tomorrow with my new specs. That's going to
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: be awesome. I really do want to see him. I
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: want to see him doing the show with a pair
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: of sports goggles on. That is phenomenal.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: So perfect.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Kareem Abdul-Jakib. I was thinking of a way to do it. Yes,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: I'll be in studio tomorrow.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: This is awesome. I love it. I'm looking forward to that.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: I love that. I'm going to close. Man, I got
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: three different baseball things. Just a little information. Don Mattingly
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: signed with Philly.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: So he's off the table for any managerial vacancy that
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think the Mariners were ever considering him. I
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: frankly don't even think Philly was considering him. And speaks to, like,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Don Mattingly, how easygoing he is. You would think somebody
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: that of his achievement level, He'll be like, you don't
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: want me?
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: F you.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: But he's like, you don't want me? That's fine. Oh,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: you want me now? That's fine.
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: Well, when it's your son that's doing the hiring and firing.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe a little bit more. I guess. But I also
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: want to mention this just quickly. Look, I don't know
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: how much baseball we're going to talk over the next
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: few months. Looks like we're going to have a labor stoppage.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I realize that a lot of people don't want to
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: hear about it at all right now, but We're going
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: to do some, certainly, depending on the news. But I
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: just want... Can we just get this out of the way?
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Every time somebody says that they want a salary cap,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: we don't need the response and a salary floor. That
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: is a given. If there's going to be a salary cap,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: there's going to be a salary floor. We don't need to.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Every time I say salary cap, I don't want to
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: be corrected. I don't want to be corrected on Twitter.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: It's a given. With a salary cap comes a salary floor.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: There won't be any other kind of deal. You're going
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: to get both or nothing. That's what's going to happen.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: So let's go ahead and make a note of that,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: a mental note of it. I don't want to be
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: talking about a salary cap, and I'm all for a
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: salary cap, and then see things on the text line.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: What about a salary floor?
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: It's part of the equation. Cap, floor, they go together.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: All right? Everybody got it?
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Square, hands in the middle?
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: Yep. All right.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: On three, team.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: One, two, three.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: Team.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: All right. You don't have to go through this again.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: All right. We'll talk to you tomorrow at 6 a.m.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Greg and Jess and their tight shorts next on KJR.
