• 2:22
  Speaker 3: There was a couple of times that I kind of
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: wished I was on a mountaintop somewhere where it was
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: a little bit cooler, because it got it got really
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: warm there. It did it got like like ninety Yeah,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: me and my very pasty children, we got red.
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: It look very colorful.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: We had a good color.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: I don't think you look red. I think you look
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: like you it's the middle of summer, and I'm jealous.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, thank you. We we handled it. Okay, I
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I found an umbrella. Well, Bear got more son than
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: he's ever gotten before. H not to the bad parties,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: not peeling or blistering or anything, but yeah, we got
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: some son.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Kate's belly I don't know.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: If it's seen sun since two Okay, it got really red. Yeah,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: so yeah, we all kind of got like, who here
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: we go.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: But it was good. It was great. Yeah.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: A lot of swimming and a lot of water slides
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: and took some baseball in and it was good, good.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Very good.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: That's what it's all about. You had a little rest our,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: little quality time. Those most deer very good.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I was seeing though, you know, just watching various games
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: that were down there that I guess records for most
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: ninety plus degree days this early.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: In the year February.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I lived there for fifteen years without failed. Pacific Northwesterners
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: think that they would love to move there, and I
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: don't know if I've met any of them they could.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're right, like ninety four they can't handle it.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I'm like it get's gonna get twenty five degrees hotter
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: than that before the summer comes to a close. So
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: you know, you know, be care be careful what you
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: wish for where you think there's greener grass, because yeah,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: in the direct sun, eighty four degrees in Arizona, even
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that'll get you much less ninety four, much less one
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: hundred and four, much less one hundred and fourteen. So
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: you know what, I've been here now for eleven years,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: kind of like it up here.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I had enough of the desert life.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's there's certain times, you know, and I were
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: talking about what we were down there, certain times where
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: it's like, you know, nine o'clock at night and it's
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: still like seventy eight degrees you know, in the winter
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: or something. You're like, okay, now this I understand. But yeah,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: when it's just blistering, like you can feel the flickers
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: of flames from the sun like hitting me in the face, Like, ah,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: what the hell is that?
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: It's too much?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: It's too much, And I know I got back here
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: and I put on some overalls and just stood outside
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: in the brisk air for a couple of days, or
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: a couple of minutes.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: On couple days. He's just.
• 4:58

• 5:02
  Speaker 2: but I standing on my overalls, just soaking in the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: mountain air.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: No shirt on underneath, just feeling the briskness on my areas.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, it was.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Actually it was kind of like what you guys are
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: painting the picture of it was. I just was like, oh,

• 5:20
  Speaker 3: the air.

  Speaker 3: I'm glad that we went down there and it was
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: you know, it was fun doing the shows down there
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: for a week, and then it was fun hanging out
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: with the family down there for a week, and it
• 5:30

  Speaker 1: I love it when you're not flooding my yard.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: River, Yes, I do too.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I planted about one hundred thousand wild flower seeds.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, the bank of the river. Nobody did one by one.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Nobody can that many flower seeds without loving their heart.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: That's where I live, sprinkling them right just with with
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: love in my heart.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: Right singing you were doing there was singing?

  Speaker 6: Yes, gorgeous.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: It was great. It's great.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: And now I got to wake up and see you.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it does get better, No, I agree.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: No, So things just just continuing to go up.

  Speaker 6: Isn't that the joy of vacation? You have to come
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: back and.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Actually you guys, see you guys.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see it like there is something to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the routine, like I mean as much fun. Because I
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: had a great time at the super Bowl with all
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: of you jackasses and down at Radio Row and getting
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: ready for the super Bowl and doing the shows and
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: uh and and.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Everything gets messed up a little bit, but it was great.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I had a great time. I had a great time
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: at spring training. To do every single year, but there
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: is something to like that flight home.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: We're like, I just want to go back to the routine.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I need some you know, repetition in my life right
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: now because I'm tired.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm really tired. Yeah, I'm with you on that.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: The thing I was mostly for you is my own bed.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Two weeks of the comfort in sweets. I don't know
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: about that name so much, not that comfort.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: And then the Great Wolf Lodge, great place, kids love it.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: They're not known for comfortable, but comfortable beds either. It's
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: not the West and I'll just take you.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: So two weeks. So when I got back on my bed,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I'm home, honey, I'm home.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Well, welcome back, thank you, welcome back.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, good to be back.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: And you got to Yeah, you did get the good color.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: You're not here peeling and blistering. You got just the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: mouth of the sudde You can tell you were on
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: a trip. And yet you're not miserable because you forced
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: being out.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: In the suner No, No, I did not. I mean
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I did force you to be out in the sun.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: But then I found a shade. Also, because I've been
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: this pasty ginger for fifty years now, I understand.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, congratulations on your fiftieth year being thank.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: You very much.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I like to thank my mom and my dad and
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: all the little people help get me here.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Not a lot of people may get fifty years right
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: around thirty five they're like, I'm going to be a brunette.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a lot of people do that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Well mine's trying to change to white. So I'm still
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: going to claim ginger though.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I mean it was not your typical
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: sports weekend. As you know, we sit here on a Monday.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Normally we have a story that is the story to
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: recap from Sunday as our top sports story of the
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: day to launch into our conversations. Not really that kind
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: of weekend, though, and so this is sort of a
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: look ahead kind of week because we are going to
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: be counting down the days till NFL free agency, And
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the top story right now here in Seattle is just
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: which of the Seattle Seahawks free agents a Super Bowl
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: championship team they're going to be able to hold on
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: to between now and you know, when the tampering period ends,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: when the free agency period ends, and so really today
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: we start that, we start that countdown toward NFL free agency.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: The tampering period starts one week from today, and then
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: almost everything will be done by the time free agency
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: begins on Wednesday. That's kind of the way it works.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: And so we'll get you started. We'll get it going
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: here this morning.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: And of the.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Six major free agents that the Seahawks have, of course,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: the name that most prominently comes of mine that we've
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: been discussing for a month or so, is ken Walker,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: the starting running back the Super Bowl MVP, and I
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: would just start the conversations this week, because we're going
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: to talk a lot about it today and certainly throughout
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: the course of the week with our various experts, including
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: the latest from Craig Bell coming up on the show.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: But where are you feeling about whether or not ken
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Walker is going to be a Seahawk for another day
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: beyond free agency? Good feeling about it, bad feeling about it,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: just straddling the fence. Where do you sit with whether
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: or not ken Walker will still be a Seahawk at.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: The end of all this.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I feel good, But I think that's not probably that's
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: probably not rooted in like much science or really anything
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: of substance. It's like, I feel good because I think
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: he wants to be a Sea Hawk. But I think
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: that the Seahawks are going to basically set a put
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: a number out there. I would be willing to bet
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: they've already put numbers out there, And the fact that
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: we haven't heard anything yet about him re up and
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: means that they're not in agreement. And so to me
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: it's kind of I feel good that that ken Walker
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: wants to be here. I'm not really sure if I
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: should feel as confident about it simply because I think
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks are going to put a number where they
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: feel he's worth because of what they could maybe look
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: for on the other out there on the free agent market.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: As far as other running backs are possibly even in
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: the draft, well.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I would just say, I mean, I don't know if
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: we need to read in so that it's not done,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: because as far as I can tell, when these negotiations
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: take place, I mean, I mean, the first strategy is
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: to wait till the eleven o'clock hour. We waited this long,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: You've had four years to do this. I don't know
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: how serious the negotiation gets. To keep him until you
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: get closer to a deadline. That's just seems to be
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: the way that the sports world operates, and the deadline
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: will be Sunday, I suppose, because Monday the tampering period opens,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure people are already tampering. Uh.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: But I don't read too much into the fact that he's.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Not not signed based on a negotiation may not be
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: going the right way, but I do believe that that
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: it's certainly up in the air right now. I don't
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: know if I feel strongly one way or the other.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'll say this, the national audience seems to
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: think he's gone, and I don't know if that's them
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: rooting for it, because we do sort of like as
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: sports fans, if we don't have an investment in the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: actual team or player, we just I mean, people just
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: like seeing good players wear different uniforms.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: It's just a it's just part of the beast. I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: don't know why that.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've been like that since I was a
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: kid myself, So I don't know if people just like
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the idea more of somebody changing hands. But you can't
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: open an article about Ken wall Talker without it suggesting
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: that it feels like he's leaving Seattle, and so, I mean,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I've moved a little bit toward the middle on this.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I was sort of sure that he was going to
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: be gone. I moved a little bit toward the middle
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: since last weeks. You and I spoke about it, Ashley
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: and I spoke about it last week, and so I'm
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: a little bit on the north side of thinking he's
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: going to be gone versus going to be staying here.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: But I'm a lot closer to fifty to fifty than
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I was when this process started. And that basically has
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: everything to do with if not him, who Because the
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: options I don't really love and I'm not sure the
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Seahawks would love at this point, but they're going to
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: set their price. Ken Walker's going to accept it, and
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to get more than what he
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: would have gotten a month ago or two months ago
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: had they had to come to a deal.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: But I don't know.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: It seems to me like the free that the agent's
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: gonna drive this bus a little bit, and if he's
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: driving the bus, then he's going to have him test
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the free agent market.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm definitely leaning towards him staying and for that
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: exact reason though, of who else are they going to
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: get that they're going to be satisfied with, especially again
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: with the uncertainty of when Zach Charbonnay will be back.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: I do think the agent's gonna make, as you put
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: last week, the Seahawks get uncomfortable. They're going to feel
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: a little uncomfortable with having to pay him more. But
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: I still think it's going to be around that eleven
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: or twelve ten or twelve million dollars range that they're
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: going to give him. I think that he's going to stay,
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: and it's it's going to be mostly because he's the
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: best option they have.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I feel a lot better about him staying
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: than I did, but I do feel like I think
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: there's a better chance that he's leaving, and it's because
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: of the agent's desire to test free agency. I think
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the agent's like, hey, there's no there's no getting sentimental here, Ken.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: They had four years to make sure that you felt
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: loved and a part of the Seahawks. It's not it's
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: not our fault that you played your best football right
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: at the perfect amount of time to enter free agency.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: So we're not gonna get sentimental on this.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: They're gonna give us what we want, or we're gonna
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: go test the free agent market.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: My guess is that's where they would go.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: But I feel Bucky that there's a lot better offer
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that they're going to get on their table now from
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks that could change things, that could draw him
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: back into the nest.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it's so weird.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, because I do think that the running back
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: market has rebounded to some degree. You know, I think
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: that it's not this, oh, well, there are a dime
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: a dozen, you don't pay him because they're definitely gonna
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: get hurt. I think that it's it's recovered from that sum,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: but not fully and rightfully, because they're not. They do
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: take a crazy amount of punishment, and so to invest
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: a long term amount of big time money it is
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: not very smart. And so it's something where I think
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: the running backs need to if they don't sign you
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: up and give you know, when you have one year
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: left on your contract, if they let you get to
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: this point, then you should go test the free agent mark.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: You should see if there's one team out there that
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: just flat out has loved you and then watched you
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: run to a super Bowl last year.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: And said, oh thank god they didn't sign.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Him all give him that extra year of guaranteed money
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: right like that wherever it is. If you're going to
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: sign for a four year deal and maybe it's only
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: going to be an average of thirteen million dollars a year,
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: but you get one team out there will give you
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: an extra year of that being guaranteed somewhere, then he
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: has to do that. That's where I mean I feel
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: like because there still is the opportunity if the Seahawks
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: start hearing that there's teams out there that are wanting
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: to wanting to take him. The fact that they could
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: still say we'll go one year and run this thing
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: back again to the franchise tag. That's the straw that's
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: breaking the camel's back. Because I'm right in the middle,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: I can see how he would be like him and
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: his agent, we're gonna go get money. You didn't sign
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: us up when you had the opportunity. You've had four
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: years to do this. We're gonna go get the best
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: price we can possibly get. On the flip side of it,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: they could say, no, you're not franchise taking.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Jets are tagging Breesehall. It's fourteen and
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: a half, but it's only a one year commitment. I
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: mean I could, I could actually, I think I can
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: see a world where that makes sense. I don't know
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: if I see a world that where John does that,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: and you know it would sometimes it could just buy
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: you time or leverage over a player to agree more
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: to the deal that you want.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe he would do that.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's something that he would try to try to
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: keep Ken Walker in a Seahawk uniform and drive him
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: more toward the price that they want to agree to
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: long term. But we shall see that tag. I don't
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: know why it does, but it pisses players off. It
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: does pretty much like it eliminates like whether or not
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: they're going to sign a long term with you. But
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: it's one of the factors in this conversation, There's no
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: question about it, and we are going to discuss it
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: a lot on today's radio program. Let's find out what
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: else is on tap for the show today.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: What's on tech? What's on tech?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Well, the pajama party is over.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: It concluded four days of workouts, an entire week of evaluation, analysis,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: investigation in Indianapolis, and so we've got a few of
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: the results that will pass along to you just in
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: case you needed me to be your eyes and ears
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: as father draft miss on the NFL Combine.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that later on in the show.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: NFL free agency begins next Wednesday, but the tampering period
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: that starts Monday, and we know, we all know.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: It's about tampering this time of the year.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell's going to join us today at seven o
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: five to discuss it. College hoops final week of the
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: regular season is here. Selection Sunday is now less than
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: two weeks away. It'll be March fifteenth on Saturday. Lost
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: to Wisconsin. But Debtla Shremp was the real story. He
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: was honored, he had his number retired. Turns out he
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: accepted it. Yeah, turns out he didn't come into the
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: game and then refuse Yeah I don't really want that.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah from the rafters. Good for him, don't insult me
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: and then flip the bird to the crowd and walk away.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, he's too nice. We got to do that.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: USC cut its leading score uh yesterday because for some
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: reason he thought it was okay to take himself out
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: of a game.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you claim that it was an injury? Not
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: let the training staff look at him? Uh, go back
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: into the locker room, come out in full uniform and
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: go sit with his friends and family in the stands.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah he got cut. Yeah, he'll talk about that.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Cracking Hurricanes tonight at seven o'clock. Cracking did win over
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: the weekend. So those two ugly losses, they at least
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: rebounded over the weekend against the Canucks and got back
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: on the winning track.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: They're a weird team to figure out. I'll tell you that.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, if that's what their goal was this year,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: we're going to be the weirdest team to try to
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: figure out success. You pulled it off.
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: Way to go, Way to go.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Team, And so we'll talk a little bit about that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Sounders lost their first match of the season two to
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: one to Real Salt Lake on Saturday, so they are
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: one and one to start the year, and all sorts
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: of Mariners news to discuss here today. Bryce Miller has
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: been sat down. He's got a little bit of a
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: tweak to his side. They're saying it is just extra
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: extra precaution at this time of the year, so nothing.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: To worry about.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: But sometimes you hear that and there's something to worry,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: So we'll worry. Kate Anderson made his debut on Saturday,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: gave up a couple runs in his inning, but he
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: did strike out the side. And then Ryan Sloan worked
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: a perfect one three inning on Sunday, So the buzz
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: around Ryan Sloan continues. We got a few things to
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: discuss from Arin or spring training, but the big story
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: from spring training right now is that our.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Best players are leaving the team.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: For a little while, we'll discuss whether or not we're
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: excited about the WBC Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Chuck Powell, former Mariner, Bucky Jacobs in his back, and
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Ashley Ryan with you as we get a.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Brand new week started.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: A week where we're counting down the days till NFL
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Free agency, a week in which we are recapping the
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: NFL Combine.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: We'll do that a little bit later on in the show.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: A week in which we are counting down the days
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: till the end of the college basketball regular season. And
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: so a lot of things, a lot of big events
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: coming up, but we actually have some actual baseball that
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: is going to be played that counts at least in
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic World later on this week, and
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: so as we get set for the WBC to begin
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: our favorite players off of our favorite rosters as Major
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: League Baseball fans, are leaving the facility to go participate
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: in actual competition where they're going to be going all out,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: throwing one hundred percent, running and sliding, possibly hit by pitches,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: and none of it matters toward the Mariners season this
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: upcoming year. So there's a little bit of holding their
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: breath that always happens when the WBC begins. The Mariners
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: have already been burned by this. The Jerry Depoto era
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: has been burned by this once before. They lost Drew
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Smiley to this event, and he never did pitch for
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: the Mariners.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Never pitch for us.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: And so they've even you know, once bitten twice shy
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the Mariners. And then they went out and they what
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: a good team on the field. You got a lot
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: of talent in the organization, damn them. So now they've
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: got a league high sixteen players from the organization that
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: are going to be participating in an event that they
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: hold their breath through.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm excited to watch some baseball, some actual baseball,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: but I get why the Mariners are a little nervous
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: about this.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: I mean there's understandably some nerves where you're just like
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: you're gonna you're gonna know right that the coaches that
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: are gonna be, you know, in charge of your players
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: for a minute. You know, Mark de Rosa, for example,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: gonna be in charge of Gabe Spires, how many innings
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: he's gonna throw, how many pitches you're gonna throw. They're
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: on the same page with what they would be having
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: them do back in spring training. It's just if you
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: had something of I'm gonna work on some stuff, I'm
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: not gonna really let it rint because I'm facing whoever
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: that's gonna be in Double A next year, or even
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: if you're facing a big league guy, it doesn't make
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: But if you're going up there and you're facing you know,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Randy a Rose Arena for example, that's their teammate, and
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: you're playing against each other for your countries, yeah, you
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: think that it's going to be ramped up a little
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: bit as your body ready.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Now, I.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Suppose you could. Basically, I would look at it probably
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: from the player's perspective. If I'm sitting in Jerry to
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Poto and justin Hollander and really as a fan in
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: that side of the things, I'm like, there's really not
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: a lot.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: Of good that can come out of this, but there's
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: a lot of really bad.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: But if from a player, it's like, I could get
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: hurt throwing in my own spring training game when there's
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: no WBC going on during the season, I could get hurts,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: you know, stepping out of the shower. I could get
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: hurt doing something without this being the form of competition,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: the ramped up part of it, the pitching side of it.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: I have a little bit more concerned simply because Yeah,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: they knew they were going to be doing this for months.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: They can get themselves a little bit prepared more earlier.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: But you still, I don't know for sure if you
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: can stop yourself, if you don't feel like you're one
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: hundred percent ready to let it rip. I don't know
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: if you can stop yourself when you're playing with your
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: country cost your chest sore.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: I have a little bit of concern, But.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: At the same time, I'm not gonna let it take
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: away from my excitement of what it is, because I
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: am pretty excited to see, you know, the US go
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: out there and do it, and see all of our
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: guys go out and see how they perform for their teams,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: and hopefully it's a kickstart for a kick ass season.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm definitely excited to watch it, but I will
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: be watching it like I watch a scary movie, like
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: through my fingers, like yeah, you know, just like okay.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: All right now, we're good.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, every you know, I'll be definitely there's a nervousness.
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: To watching it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: M M, yeah, yeah, you're right. It's kind of like
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: watching a thriller. Yeah, you know, yeah, where you're like,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: oh gosh.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know what's going to happen next.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: But you can't take your eyes off of it. It's
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: a great event, and it is on a WBC year.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: It breaks up the monotony. I mean, as much as
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I like spring training and as I love just any
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: given moment of any given day flipping on MLB Network
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: and there's usually a game on that I could at
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: least have in the background even if I'm.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Not watching it, pitch for pitch, I kind of like that.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: But but to break it up with actual baseball, with
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: you know, National Pride on the line, it really has
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: turned out to be a really good event, and I
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: get why baseball wants to do it. I get why
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: it's good for the brand. I get why it's good
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: for the sport and for uh, you know, stimulating global
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: hunger for my favorite sport in Major League Baseball. But
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: I also get why every baseball team in the league
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: doesn't want it to happen. Because there's one thing. If
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: you your kid gets hurt playing in your backyard. But
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: when your kid comes home hurt because he's in somebody
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: else's backyard that day, how do you are you? Are
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: you not that much more angry about the situation. What
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: we weren't watching him? Right?
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: The parents hurt?
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, they're just letting your rough house.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, nobody monitoring this. Can't let you climb on the woodpile.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: I knew you break your arm if you did that.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: That actually happened to a friend of mine. Uh climbing
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: on the wood our woodpile.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well I didn't climb on it. I listened to
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: mom and dad. He was not a listener.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: But yes, it's I mean, it's ultimately you hopefully Cal's
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: a listener.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: He's a listener.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: Get off the woodpile, Cal, Cal, No.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: I know you're representing America, but Col get off the woodpile.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: But there's I want to get up there, Gabs getting
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: up there.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: DeRosa will call him back one, two, don't make me
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: get to three.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna need you to be a buddy and
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: get off the wood pile.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Cow dumper, dumper down.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: Jerry will never forget.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Yes, I mean there's I get it.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, like I said, does do you guys have
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: more concern for the arms than the position players?
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Yes? Okay, because I do too. I do too. I
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: mean it's yes.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, Kyl's gonna be back there catching guys that
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: are throwing a bajillion that he hasn't caught a bunch.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: And so to me, it's the you know, I have
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: concern for all of it, and yet there's another part
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: of me that really it's just more the temperamental, you know,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: fragility that it feels like, you know, a ligament in
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: somebody's arm could be is the part that worries me
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: the most, and I don't want that. Obviously, if any
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: organization loses somebody that's out there playing for their country
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: for the most part, it's a big loss. I mean sure,
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I mean I guess there's somebody playing for Great Britain
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: that maybe is not going to you know, it's not
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: going to kill the Pirates chances of a World Series
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: this year. But I think that there is for the
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: most part, if you have anybody playing on Team USA,
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: for example, if that if your player goes down, or
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Team Dominican, if that guy goes down, it's going to
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: hurt a big league roster somewhere.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, and that's that's just it.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: That's why I mean, when it's elevated competition and it's
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: early in the year, I mean, you're not going to
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: dial it down. If you're on the mound and you're
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: you know, facing Juan Soto with your USA across your
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: chest and you've thrown twenty five pitches and Jerry and
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Justin gave Dorosis strict orders as long as he doesn't
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: throw more than twenty five pitches in an inning.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: And you're in the middle of it.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: Bad.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: But what I mean, and.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: That's it, you're not going to dial it down. I mean,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: when show a faced Mike Trout with.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: The whole thing on the line, believe me, the Dodgers
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: were like, wait a minute, we didn't agree to this or.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Was it was he still at the Angels at that time.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: He was still at the Angels at that time. Hey,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sure the Angels were like, oh boy.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: We didn't agree to this.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's throwing one hundred and two right now. It's April,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: it's March tenth. What is happening?
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he just happens to be facing our best player.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: This.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I don't feel good right now.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: I don't feel good.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: And yet there's nothing, there's nothing you could do about it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: That's just that's just the nature of the beast. And
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: so you know, I mean, I'm hoping for all of
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: baseball though we don't see one casualty. But here you
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: sit with the Mariners, and let's face it, as much
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: as we do love to root for Team USA and anything,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Mariner fans are more concerned about the Mariners season than
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: they are whether or not America wins a tournament in
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: March against the rest.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: Of the world.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and certainly the Mariners are more worried about the
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Mariners season than they are whether or not Team USA
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: finishes first, second, or third in the WBC. And yet
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: they're handing over their children to play in the backyards
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: of these other managers and hey, I guess the good
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: news is it's just cal Julios a Rose Arena Naylor.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like it's our best players.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, take them for guys, take them for ten
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: days while they're very vulnerable at this point in the year.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Here's the here's the silver lining for you.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: Julio can have a.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: Bad start now, oh yeah, get it out of the way.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: And then he can get hot. He be hot for
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: the regular season.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, maybe this is maybe this is the you know,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: just kind of gets his competitive juices one, because we've
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: seen it every single year. When it gets down, you know,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: second half of the season and it's things start to
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: matter more, Julio shows up and all of a sudden
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: is the dude we want. Well, he's gonna care about
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: the dr on his hat and the dr across his chest.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: He's gonna be rip orn, trying to be ready to
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: go for this WBC and hopefully that carries over into
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: a strong start and maybe an MVP season.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: How's that? Okay?
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: I don't mean this partly because of the WBC. Yeah,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: because of what Bucky said.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I don't mean this personally.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Julio, if you're listening, but I hope you go over
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: seventeen with seventeen.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: K's get all of you.
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: Get it all out, get them all out.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: I want I won for seventeen with the Homers last
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: at bat.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: So it feels good coming back, that's true.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: SITES can say I did figure out the trick to
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: getting them to start, yeah, to warm up in the season,
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: in the season.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: I think we're onto something here.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, coming up next, Coach Bucky is also
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: back from vacation. We'll check in with them next. Sports
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's only five Echine teams, so that's not
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: long creases, but they're still creased.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: They stiff though, Yeah it looks yeah.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Like yeah, yeah, Well it's just I just dip them
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: in the river and then throw them under that flat
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: rock out in the Arizona sun.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're supposed to be stiff.
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: Okay, well accomplished.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Well, Coach Bucky is here.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: And we always ask the man who's coached every sport
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: at every level a few things on a Monday morning,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: and so, uh, I watched the NFL combine over the weekend,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Coach Bucky, and they are saying this is one of
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: the worst drafts in quite some time, and yet the
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: group of defensive linemen had the best forty times in
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: the history of the event. So did the linebackers, so
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: did the defensive backs, so did the wide receivers, and
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: so did the offensive linemen.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Uh huh in the history of the event. Across the
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: board pretty much.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Like the best, fastest, strongest athletes that we've ever seen
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: at the NFL combine in a down year for the draft.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: So I ask you, coach Bucky, You've been around athletes
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: your entire life. Are athletes just getting too big and
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: fast these days? No.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: I was listening the way in and it was it
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: was I don't mind bringing this up, because it was
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: what I was thinking while I was watching it yesterday.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: I watched multiple days of it, but it was kind
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: of I think, maybe how you watch golf sometimes, like
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: maybe I'm gonna take a little napball and watching this,
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean?
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Understood it's not the most event.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And so it's kind of like it was
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: one of those like it was on and I was
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: playing with the kids, or my mom was in town.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: She's in town for a couple of days, and so
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: you know, I was talking to her and it's it's
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: playing in the background. Then all of a sudden you
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: be like, oh, Mike, you'd hear them go, oh my gosh.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: You look over and somebody ran a four to two
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: seven or whatever. And yet I so when I was
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: paying attention to it, there was things that LeVar was
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: talking about today, wanting the vertical, not so much what
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: he was talking about how they let him get their
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: heels up, But with the forty it seemed like, well
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: they would call a couple of false starts if they
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: didn't pause long.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Enough before they took off.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: There was more times that it looked like they didn't
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: really pause and they let them play through. They let
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: him run through, which is that momentum. Part of it
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: is it's a huge advantage and you don't really get
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: penalized for it. If they call you on it, then
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: you got to come back and start again. If they
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: don't call you on it, you can get an advantage.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: So I don't know for sure if they were a
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: little more relax with that to some degree, I do
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: think that that guys are at this. You know, Kenyon Sadik,
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: for example, that dude is a freak. Oh my gosh,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: he's an absolute freak. He is Sadik, the freak that
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: doesn't make sense. I mean he I think he kind
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: of uped his stock a little bit, not that he
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: didn't already have some pretty high stock. But I think
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: some guys you're seeing the occasional guy that's just freaky,
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: kind of different. But there's always been some freaks, you know,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: back in the day. There's always been some guys that
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: are just like, whoa, you're different. And maybe they are
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: just from a couple of decades into the future. But no,
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's getting to where it's like at
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, is this really crazy. I think there's
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: a little bit of yeah, you're gonna have the occasional
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: unicorn come through the combine. I think there's also it
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: felt like maybe ESPN letting them kind of get away
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: with a little bit more than they usually do.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: With some of their measurables. Yeah.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Well, there was a six foot five inch, two hundred
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: and forty four pound linebacker that had a forty three
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: and a half inch vert I don't think that had
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: anything to do with the momentum beneath his ground.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Well, ye see, That's what I didn't notice.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: That's one that LeVar Arrington was talking about how when
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: they did it, they couldn't raise their heels off the
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: ground before they did their vertical jump, like they literally
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: had to go down with their heels down and then
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: jump off.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: Obviously their heels came off when they jumped.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: This year, they were letting them go up on their toes,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: then down and then back up. And he was saying,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: that is, without a doubt, an advantage. So I'm like, Okay,
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: I didn't notice that. I had noticed the arm not
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: necessarily pausing as long in the forty and if who
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: knows if there's some advantage to it, I don't know.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: I just know that he thought it was, and I
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: thought that the arm part in the forty does definitely
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: make sense.
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: To coach Bucky Mexico versus Canada and the WBC, this
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: is a this is a question for Ashley too, mun
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Yos versus Naylor with the game on the line.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: Who you're rooting for? Oh boy, I don't want to.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: I don't want to pick this.
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: Way pick your favorite show.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: As a coach, you do pick favorites, you make lineups,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: But both of these guys are in my line.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: I'm oh, I'm going with a hitter. Give me Naylor.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Sorry, Munos, you're great, You're wonderful. Matilda will be there
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: for you. Don't worry, you know, you just say it's
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: no big deal.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: You just let it go. But yeah, I'm going with
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: the hitter.
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: I think I.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: Gotta go with Munos because I think more pressure is
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: on the pitcher to not screw it up for you know,
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: like if he gives up the game winning hit to
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: Munya or to Naylor, Everyone's.
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: Like, oh, Munyos screwed it up. He gave up the
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: game winning hit.
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: Whereas if Naylor strikes out or grounds out, it's like, well, okay,
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: that's just baseball.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: I'm going Munos because it's more important to the people
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: rooting for Munos than it is for the people rooting
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: for Naylor. Like Mexico baseball, Canada's hockey. Yeah, Mexico with
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: their baseball and their soccer, it's just gonna matter more
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: to He's got more pressure on him. Canada didn't care
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: if they've succeeded, okay, but Naylor could like Naylor could
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: like soothe their sorrow after we whooped them in hockey twice,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Like Nayla could help the entire I'm kind of glad
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: they're angry.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: You like that.
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: I'm glad they said ride that anger.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just be sad for a little while. Can finally,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: are you the official child thrower when you're at a
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: hotel pool?
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent. Got in trouble multiple times. And
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: then I also did wake up. I think it was
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Friday morning, the day that, yeah, the day that we
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: were coming back, and I'm.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: Like, why is my bicep so sore?
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: And she's like, oh, it's because the entire pool wanted
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: you to throw passes to them while they dove into
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: the pool, like, you know, jumping sideways catching passes. Because
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: it started with Bear and then a couple of Hey
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: can I play? Hey can I play? Pretty soon as
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: twelve kids the entire pool, I have all the parents like, hey,
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: thanks man, appreciate you taking care of it. They're sipping
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: on beers outside. I made at least five hundred throws
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: in the pool, and I didn't realize it until the
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: next day.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: I'm like, why is my bicep so sore?
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Coach Bucky's bicep was sore, so most I'd thrown spring
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: training for me, though.
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: It was weird to have coach Bucky and you, you know, no, no.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: We travel a lot together.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the best friends.
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah that makes sense.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they really get along.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: YEP.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: I got a good business idea for you, Bucky the
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: baby sitter or Bucky sitter Bucky, Yeah, yeah, you could
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: make a lot of money doing that, just buck sitting.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: You know how much money parents will pay just to
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: not be annoyed by their children somebody else is watching them.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: It's a idea.
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: Could have them out to the house too, and you
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: could have them do.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Chores, yeah, Bucky sitter.
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, just don't let them on the woodpile.
• 39:27
