Chuck & Buck 5-11 Hour 4: Eddie Olczyk, ABC's of the Mariners and one last thing! · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Chuck and Ashley with you.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know why I pressed my cough button and
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: thought that I could go on the air doing that.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: It doesn't work that way.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: That's what happened. Good Monday morning to you.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Must be a Monday if I press my cough button
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: and thought I could go on the air like that.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Joining us now on the program is pretty much one
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: of the greatest hockey analysts that ever lived. Ed Olczek
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: is with us right here on the show to talk
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: a little Stanley Cup playoff hockey here on a Monday morning.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: How are you, sir, I'm well, Chuck, nice to be
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: with you, Ashley Hope, everything as well. And an unbelievable
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: time of year we got. As you both know, I'm
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: a big a I'm a big horse racing guy. And
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: I was at the Kentucky Derby this last weekend. Well
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: I guess almost two weekends ago now, but it was
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: great to be there. And of course the NHL Playoffs,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: which I'm covering for the NHL on tnt SO Pucks
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: and Ponies. As I'd like to say, it doesn't get
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: any better than this, and we got the I'll be
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: in Denver, Colorado for game five between the Wild and
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: the Avalanche on Wednesday, and then I will be watching
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: the Preakness, which is going to be run this Saturday
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: in Maryland. So I'm looking forward to pucks and ponies
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: this week.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I just did a segment about one of my great
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: pet peeves. Is it safe to say that it's a
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: pet peeve of yours? When the Kentucky Derby winner does
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: not choose, Well, the horse didn't choose, but the trainer
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: chooses not to let the Kentucky Derby winner run in
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the Preakness.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Honestly, Chuck, I don't have a problem with it. Some
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: horses are able to rebound a lot quicker. Usually these
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: horses run, These really good horses probably only run maybe
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: five or six times a year, so you're not asking
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: them very often. And again, I know what the history
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: has been in the history of the Triple Crown, but
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: you have to know your equine athlete and understand that
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: coming back in fourteen days is going to be a challenge,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: and is it going to hurt the animal long term,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: not just within a couple of weeks. And it's not
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: just about being sixty or seventy or eighty percent and
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: trying to run in two weeks in Maryland. So I'm
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: okay with it. Look at what I love to see
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: golden tempo run and try to make history. Hell yes,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: but you've got to do what's right by the equine athlete.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: And these trainers know these horses better than anybody, so honestly,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: on the other side of the fence, if they don't
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: feel that the horse is going to be capable of
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: running competitively and feel like that they're at a disadvantage,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: then just sit, wait a couple of weeks and then
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: run in a Belmont, which they will that they will
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: do eventually. But I think the interesting dynamic and this thing, too, Chuck,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: is sports has changed and evolved over I mean many years.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: But if you just want to go back to you know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: the mid nineties or what have you, I mean, whether
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: it's you know, I know it was in that area
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: even just before that. But like the three point line
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: in basketball, you have home run fences in baseball being
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: moved in, you have the shootout in hockey. You have
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: rules in football now that cater to the offensive side
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: of it. The one thing in horse racing that hasn't
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: really changed is the schedule for the Triple Cross where
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: you run in the first Saturday in May, then you
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: run two weeks later in Maryland for the Preakness, and
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: then you have three weeks off until the Belmont, and yeah,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: history would be changed. But I don't hear many people
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: talking about how history has changed with you know, guys
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: are massing so many points in the NBA now, or
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: how football quarterbacks are amassing all these yards because the
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: way that they call penalties, or even in hockey with
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: three on three in overtime. So I know there's a
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: lot there, But for me, I think it's some point
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: horse racing has to do right by the equine athlete
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: and buy a little bit of time in between the
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Derby and the Preakness, and then keep the three weeks
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: between the second Jewel and the third Jewel, and then
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: maybe maybe you'll have a better chance of making sure
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: that you get, you know, a high percentage of the time,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: getting the Kentucky Derby winter coming back in three weeks
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: instead of two.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Eddie Olcheck is with us giving us more than you
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: bargained for when you heard he was coming on the show.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: We're getting pucks and ponies here today with Eddio.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Well let's talk about the Pawks.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, it just feels like Carolina and Colorado are
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the two best teams and it feels like an inevitability.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: That they're going to meet in the Stanley Cup Finals.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: How do you see it?
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Well, I kind of felt that at the start of
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. I thought Colorado was cut above everybody else
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: chuck during the regular season. And you know, to this point,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: they've proven it. Now Carolina has not lost at all.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Colorado just lost the other night. We actually did that
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: game on T and T the other night. We're Minnesota
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: something pretty good. And now they got a huge game
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: for Tonite back in Saint Paul tonight. It does the
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: path for Carolina. There were no excuses this year. We've
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: heard about Carolina for the last four or five years
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: and everybody expecting runs and then all of a sudden,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: they come up against a team that could play a
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: a skate and pound type of game, that being the
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Florida Panthers. And we all know what the Florida Panthers
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: are when they are healthy and they can play any
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: way you want, and they pretty much just pounded the
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Carolina Hurricanes the last couple of years, and their dreams ended.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: So no Florida this year in the playoffs for Carolina,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: No Toronto, no New Jersey Devils, no New York Rangers.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: So the path for them is there, and they've taken
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: advantage and it's gone eight to no so far in
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. Now they're going to play the winner of
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Buffalo Montreal and that series looks like it's going to
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: go seven games, and somebody is gonna go limping in
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: against the well rested team in Carolina. So there are
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: no excuses for Carolina Colorado. They're playing a team like Minnesota,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: who is very, very good. They're very deep, they can
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: play any way you want. I would be shocked if
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: this thing doesn't get the six or seven games. And
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: if it is seven games, you can see me calling
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: a game of Ken Albert and Brian Bouchet on Sunday
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: night on TNT back in Colorado and Denver. But it
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: does feel like if those two teams play to their
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: very best or at least close to it and without
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: any you know, knock on, with any injuries, that should
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: end up being a matchup come the Cup final.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I want to weave the Kraken in here
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: when I can because, Man, I see Carolina. All I've
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: heard about since the Kraken got here is.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: That they don't have that one big score.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: And yet I watched this Carolina team and they don't
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: really have that one big score. They don't have a
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: superstar on their team. They have a lot of good
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: players and they play well together, and they've won it
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: all before. I mean, they've figured out the formula without
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: having to have a Connor McDavid.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: So how much.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Should the Crack and be studying the Hurricanes? And frankly,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: we know that they have studied the Hurricanes because we
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: brought we brought over the guy that kind of built that.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no question, Ron, he did do that, and he
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: did a hell of a job there in Carolina, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: I think he did a hell of a job with
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: the Crack. And think about it, think about a Chuck.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: What was that now three years ago where they got
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: to within one goal of getting to the conference final.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: So they did have a team like that where you're right,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: no stars, no game breakers by committee and you've had
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: guys have career years. Now can guys have you know
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: those type of years year in and year out. Players leave,
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: they want more money, just decisions are made, all those
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: type of things. The goaltending Gruby was unbelievable. So you know,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: sometimes you do catch that lightning in a bottle and
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: you make a hell of a run in your second year.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately they haven't been able to get back to
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: that point. But I do believe sometimes sometimes it does
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: happen where you have teams that maybe you shouldn't say,
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: maybe they don't have that game breaker, like the one
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: guy you see or two guys you see, like in Colorado,
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: right they had McKinnon. I mean last year they had
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: ranted until they traded them and then you got Macara
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: on the back end. You can look at all the
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: teams available in the in the in the playoffs right now,
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Chuck and go yeah, other than Carolina, every team has
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: a legitimate superstar. Now you have an unbelievable defenseman in
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Jacob Slavin on Carolina who is as good as defensively
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: as any d man in League. Of course, he played
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: for Team USA over Milan and winning helping win the
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: gold medal for the US. So understand the point, no doubt.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: But it does help when you have those game breakers
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: and in those guys that have the ability on any
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: given shift to be able to to win you a game.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: And it's I'm not trying to be dramatic, but it
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: not only changes the trajectory of a game or a series,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: but honestly, it does change that direction in the history
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: of your franchise is when you do have guys like that,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: and I'll certainly take my chances with guys like that,
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: and uh uh, you know kind of not only say
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: going by committee, but you're gonna need a full compliment
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: in Carolina, certainly his has been able to show that
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: and do that. Now, they haven't won anything yet, so
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: they've been competitive, they've won divisions, they've been competitive, and
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: but okay, it's like the time is now to take
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: that run and get to the cup final and show
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: everybody you know who and what they are. And if
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: they're able to do that, then I think we can
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: have this conversation and and sit there and go, yeah,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: there is a blueprint, there's no doubt. But I just
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: believe is that you if you if you want to
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: have six, if you want to make the playoffs, you
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: need to have those difference makers for sure. And then
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: if you're gonna end up winning, you're gonna need a
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: little bit of luck. You're going to need the right matchup.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: You're gonna have to go through a team at some point,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: whether it's the Hawks and Rams last year and then
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: the you know in the at the NFC Championship, or
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: you know, you're gonna have to face somebody in the
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl or in the Cup final, right so that
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: those it just matter on how the so called you
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: know ball bounces every.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Once in a while.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Eddie oldchick joining us here today to talk to some
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup playoffs seemed like a good time to bring
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: uh ed zo aboard. You allowed me to call you
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: ed Zoe the last time we had you on. Hopefully
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: it's still cool with you, still cool anyway? Well, we've
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: we've seen a lot of fist flying here in the
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: last few nights in the Stanley Cup playoffs, a lot
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: of stinky.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Glove being thrown around here. Uh in the NHL? Is
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: that about right about this time? Like second round?
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: And you know things are starting to get a little
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: tight and and does it usually start getting a little
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: tense right now?
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's tensest that it's been so far. Is this normal?
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I would say, I mean we got. We got
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: quite a bit taste of it in in round one
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: where there's been on the line and definitely over the line.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: I had a situation in the Ottawa Carolina series in
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: round one were a player on Ottawa Ridley, Greg came
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: over and there's no other way to say it. Two
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: players were kind of tangled up and square it off
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: and they weren't fighting, but they were holding on to
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: each other and writ and Greg came over and give
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: a quick little sucker punch. And I don't agree with
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: the number of games he got suspended. He got two games,
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: and it should have been ten. In my opinion, that
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: is not what we do in the league. That's that's
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: totally uncalled for. And two games. I thought he got
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: really really lucky, and I could really care less on
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: what his past history is, and they use all that
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: into the formula making decision. I thought they missed an opportunity,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: a line in the sand and say enough enough, we're
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: not going to have that type of play happen. I
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: don't care if a player gets hurt on that play,
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: like I do care, but that's not to me. It's
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: the act should punish the act, not necessarily the outcome
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: and that that should have been ten games you only
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: got two. Now, last night, at the end of the
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: game between Montreal and Buffalo, we had the same situation
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: where a Montre a Montreal player came in and popped
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: one of the Buffalo sabers in the corner in a
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: similar play, but it was a little looser where there
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: really wasn't a one on one battle going on and
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: then the player came in and popped them in the face.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: So yeah, tensions get high, and this is where you
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: need that discipline and you got to know where the
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: line is and you have to understand the situation because
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: you just never know. As I said earlier and again
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: not trying to be dramatic, as you just never know.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Is when now think about what happened last night in
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: the basketball game between the year the t Wolves and
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: the Spurs. Right like Whenba Yama he lost his cool
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: for maybe two seconds, he certainly knew what he was doing, yep,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: and what ended up happening. He gets thrown out of
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: the game and you lose arguably a top what chuck,
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Is he a top five player in the league?
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Is he a top three player in the league?
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: So you when you make that decision. You want to
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: call it selfish, that's fine. Is that the player, No,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: he's not that type of player, but he did. He
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: crossed the line.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: He cost his.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: Team an opportunity to win a game in a playoff.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: That can't happen and no different in the National Hockey League.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: There's a line and when you cross it, more times
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: than not, you're going to get penalized. And you just
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: got to make sure you're being really, really smart. So
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: long winded, Yeah, it's gotten a little nasty. Which nasty
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: is okay, people like watching nasty on television, which I'm good,
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: look at it. I love calling the games, I love
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: watching the games. And uh yeah, so I would. I would.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: I would concur with you that the the tensions have
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: risen and and now there's a lot of there's a
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: lot of I like to say from being from Chicago,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of powdered on the powder on the
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: line here. So you better play between the whistles and
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: you better not become an individual in the ultimate team game,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: because if you do that, it could end up casting
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: your team a game or even an opportunity to move
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: on in the playoffs.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Well, let's bring a full circle with our last question
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: for you. I mean, you started it off with pucks
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: and ponies, so I'm going to ask you to come
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: up with an.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Exact day here, give me, give me, give me the.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Let's about this, Let's make it. Hold on, let's make
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: a deal. Let's make a deal real quick. Okay, And
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: I probably jumped in too early, but I'm just gonna
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: do it because that's I thought I heard Johnny Foresln's
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: name in the back. I thought I heard his voice,
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: so I figured I wanted to cut him off. You know,
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: just let me get in there every once in a while.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: If you get a hold of me at the end
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: of the week, the post positions will be drawn and
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I'll give I'll give all your great listeners an opportunity
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: if they want to get their feet wet. I'll give
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: them a couple of horses to cheer on, and maybe
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: you know, put a wager or three on on Saturday.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: So get a hold of me at the end of
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: the week, and then you know, I can give you
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: the numbers, or if you want me on for thirty
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: seconds to set up the race, I can do that
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: and then say goodbye.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's you got me at the end of the week,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: if you want me, all right, that sounds good. I
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: was going to ask you for a rare kind of exact.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I was going to ask you for your Preakness winner
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: and your Stanley Cup champion.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: That's the exact gosh. I mean, it's hard not to
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: go with Colorado just because they look like they're a
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: step above everybody else. And again, I don't know if
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: the horse that I'm leaning towards is going to end
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: up running on Saturday. But if it is, I do
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: like a horse by the name of Napoleon Solo. So
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: if that is indeed the case, if Napoleon is right
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: it's riding on Saturday, that's going to be that will
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: be my pick. But I got to see the track editions,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: I got to see the post position, so that's fair.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: That's so, that's got a little that's in pencil. How's
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: that perfect? That's in pencil. Thank yous.

  Speaker 2: all right, ABC's of the MS come your way next
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three k a R FM.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Person X meant nothing to them, like they weren't paying
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: at ten. Yeah, So to me, it's like.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Why did we even communicate?
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Like why did you say, did you just waste
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: my time? The other fourteen times we've seen each other.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: And it's not like we went on a road trip together.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: No, then i'd cry.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even think that we change exchange names.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I ever officially met the guy. Okay,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we've ever even like, hey, I'm this.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I just did that with him when we had the powerge. Oh,
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: so you know, I think I believe so.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But that means that all those interactions you weren't
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: paying attention to anything.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: If you can't even remember my face, well, you can't
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: even remember that we are one of five people here
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: at six am.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I have seen him no less than a hundred times.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I can promise you, yah, almost at times in my life.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: And yet, hey, do you work at the radio station?
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: No?
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: Well, my name's not bud Pal. Listen, guy, I'm not
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: your pal. I'm not your pal, Buddy, I'm not yet
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: buddy guy.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get into a little of the ABC's
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: of the ms here, and we do have the alphabet
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: being our guide through a few different Mariner topics here
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: this morning. We left off Friday at the letter J
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: jis are just in time.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I did not think that Cole Young had thrown out
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: that runner yesterday. I mean, that guy had such little confidence.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Bases loaded, two outs, and he tried to get a
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: bunt hit, Yeah, with the game on the line yesterday,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: and then he hits a little ground ball towards second base,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: and I thought for sure, I mean, obviously the guy's
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: got speed.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: You don't need the scouting report.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: If he's trying to bunt with the bases loaded in
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: a game, potential game winning situation, then he's got speed.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: And Cole Young somehow threw him out across his body
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: body being carried away from the base, and I even
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: when the contact was made with the base ball and glove,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I still thought he was going to be safe.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: And the umpire blew the call.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: But if he didn't throw him out, I mean, we've
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: had a bad defensive year so far this year. Where
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: would we be without Cole Young's big jump defensively at
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: second base. He's turned into a gold glover over there.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a spectacular play.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: I think I watched it like fourteen times, just watching
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: the way he turned his body around and how he
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: threw that. I mean, he he could not have made
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: that throw any more perfectly.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: It was incredible.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, really.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Fun to Good for you cold, Yeah, great job.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Real bright spot young man.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Of course you did pop up with the game on
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: the line yourself, so you're not completely out of there.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: We're talking about defense.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so maybe you better just sit there for a
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: second and just think about what you've.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Been about what you've done. We'll talk about it later.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe, I'm sure you were.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: The most reliable person we had for three weeks.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Right, but maybe maybe when your friends are out this Friday,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have to stay home.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe snap think about that.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: KEA is for Kelnick. We got to see Jared Kellnick
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: in his brand new uniform. He does look leaner. Remember
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: how swollen he got there towards the end with the Mariners.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I think he just just tried to keep getting stronger
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: and then obviously he had to He had to eat
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: a lot of his pride over the last couple of
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: years and now is just trying to hold on for
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: his career. And I'll say this, I mean I give
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: him credit for that. For as much hype as winn
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: to Jared Kelnick, and for as much pressure as he
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: put on himself to be not just good, but legendary.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, in his head, he was going to be legendary.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: And for him to have had his career derailed and
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: to spend an entire offseason wondering if you were going
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: to get another chance, and here he is up with
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the White Sox, and I'm gonna give him credit.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I always liked him, yeah, I mean I just like him.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: I sympathized with him because I knew that head was
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: gonna start getting in his way, and.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: It did and it still does. But a lot of.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Guys with if they're because he was always described as
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: having an ego out of control. If your egos out
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: of control, you don't learn lessons when you hit rock bottom,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back in it.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: And he's still getting back in it. And so I
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: give him a lot of credit for that, because I've
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: seen plenty of over hyped athletes who it didn't work
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: out for them and they disappeared, Yeah, and they broke
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: down and they they were never heard from again.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I honestly didn't think we were going to
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: hear from him again. So it was it's a pleasant
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: surprise to see that he's, you know, at least on
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: the right path, and he's back up with a big
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: league team, and he doesn't seem to be letting his
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: ego or his attitude get in his way anymore.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, even when he kicked.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: To that cooler, I felt bad for him, Like I
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: wasn't mad at him. I just felt bad because you
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: could tell he wanted this team to win so bad
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: and he wanted to be a reason they won.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: And so it's just I don't know, He's always kind
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: of seemed like a watch tortured person, and he and.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Julio were just synonymous with one another.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: And he had to watch Julio become the face of
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: the franchise, which Julio had to watch col become.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: The face of the franchise last year.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: And I give Julio credit for this as well, that
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: that didn't change him much.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: But that couldn't have been easy.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: And I've talked about this numerously numerous times about Emerson.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: He had to watch guys he was compared to lap
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: him over and over and over and for him to
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: stick in there. I mean, it's such a psychological game,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: and you can be beaten because you're not physically capable,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: and you can be beaten because you're not psychologically or
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: mentally capable. And Jared, I think, put way too much
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: pressure on himself. But I give him a lot of
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: credit because, like I said, I've seen a lot of
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: guys who were supposed to be great and the moment
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: that they were told you're not special, they crumbled. Yeah,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: and he's still hanging in there trying to make it happen.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ellis for Luke.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Talk about a bounce back Luke Rayley with his historic
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: night on Friday, a grand Slam and a three run
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: homer for Luke Friday Night. So congratulations to him. I
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: wanted to talk about him because I mean, I spent
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: the off season doing the Stove podcast with Anders and
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: we would you talk about, of course, every different roster scenario,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: that's the point of the entire podcast, and I would
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: myself almost every episode saying and don't forget about Luke Rayley. Now,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not giving myself credit because I was kind of
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: treating him as an afterthought, like, oh, yeah, and Luke
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Rayley is still on the roster.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's not forget about him.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: But That's probably more than what a lot of people
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: were doing with Luke Rayley heading into this offseason.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: He had such a bad year last year.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: He had the major injury, he got the slow start,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: and then he just never did contribute to that team's
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: success a year ago, and so it was I guess
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: my point is it was easy to forget about Luke
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Rayley and the possibility of him becoming a significant piece
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: to the twenty twenty six roster, and yet twenty twenty
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: four he was a huge contribute to this team. And
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: so I'm not sure where they'd be without Luke Rayley.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Certainly a game or two worse than what they are
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: right now, but he leads the team in almost every
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: offense category right now.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I told Ashley earlier in the show.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: If I'd have told you at the beginning of the
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: year that on May eleventh, Luke Raley was going to
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: be our leading home run hitter and Cal Josh and
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Julio had not suffered an injury major injury to this
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: point in the season, you would have had me committed.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: But Luke Raley is our best offensive weapon, even though
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: he only plays half games.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and if you hadn't told me that I would
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: have thought, either we are really really good and Luke
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: Raley's just become a superstar, or oh gosh, we're struggling
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: and we're struggling.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: We're struggling and he's he's but he's reminded.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Us, yes, hey, what he has and what he can
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: give to this team.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Right, And you know, I've got power, i got speed,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I can play defense if you need me to. I
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: hustle every single time, and that is a valuable piece
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: to have. So for all of us that either dismissed
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: him outright in the offseason as a potential piece or
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: had to mention him as an afterthought before we got
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: done with a podcast. Oh and don't forget about Luke Rayley.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: He's still in the mix. Yeah, he's been outstanding. And
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: we can't say that about a lot of guys so
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: far this year.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: No, I would agree, And I was nervous after what
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: we saw from him last year. But you always know
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: that he has that hustle in that heart and that's
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: something that he's never gonna lose.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and that that in itself can be valuable.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: He was just so bad last year as a player. Yeah,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: that not even that could get him on the field.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: But if he you know, he runs into an occasional
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: ball because he's got ridiculous power, yeah and yeah. And
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: if he can put the ball in play more consistently,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: oh man, then all those little intangibles that he brings
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: become that much more valuable. So Luke's had a great
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: back back, bounce back season this year. And he's such
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: a good person.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Oh he is such a nice guy. It's it's great
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: to see he's he's obviously not at the end of
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: his road in his career. Finally, Amas for moneymaker, We
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: got a money maker on the mound tonight. His name
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: is George Kirby. This is the guy you want facing
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: the Houston Astros in Game one of a four game
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: series to set the tone. Historically, he has dominated Houston
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: and Houston's had great teams. I don't have to tell
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: anyone listening. This year's team might not be so good,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: but we know how great the Astros have been. And
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: George has never blinked in the face of the Astros.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Might ten starts in his career, four and one with
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: a two point one seven ERA, and if you take
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: out last year's one outlier performance where he gave up
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: five runs in a game in May against the Astros,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: fifty four and a third innings, nine earn runs allowed.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: That's a one point four to nine ERA and nine
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: starts nine of his ten starts against the Astros. So
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is about George, but he
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: has no problems knock on your.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Head again knocking a lot.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: With the Houston Astros. And so doesn't mean that he won't, doesn't.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, he just had the five run game last May.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: But if you're looking on paper, like if we could
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: set our rotation, who do we want to start in
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: game one to get us off on the right foot
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: in Houston for a four game series, you're taking George.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: And it just so happens he's pitching tonight, yep.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: And I think he's gonna have a great game.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: We're gonna get he's gonna give up one run, he's
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: gonna go seven innings.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Oh nice, there you go it. Yeah, that's from my
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: sports Almanac for twenty twenties.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, so all right, well then make him your money maker,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: because and it's for money maker. You probably thought I
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: was getting ready to talk about my ass.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: I thought that's what you were gonna because that's what
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: you shake all the time.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Right, and that's, let's face it, been the key to
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: my success and popularity.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: I didn't want to tell you that because you keep
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: thinking it's this radio skill you've got.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we know, we know where the talent lies. But no,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: maybe take this George Kirby information, head on to Talala
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Persort Casino, little Draft Kings sports Book.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Put a little faith in the old boy.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why not lay some as Bucky would say, duckets
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: down on it.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, lay some duckets down on George getting the job
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: done against the Houston Astros tonight.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: An idea.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to tush your arm. I'm just saying
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: the statistics suggest that we're better than the Astros this year,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: and George dominates the Astros.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: So do with that what you will. I'm just telling you.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just informing you.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: There's this little place called Talala Presort Casino. It exists,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: and there's a face place inside the casino called the
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Draft Kings Sports Book. It's real and all you gotta do,
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: if you're so motivated, swing on by and maybe have
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: a little.
• 30:54

• 31:52
  Speaker 2: here today.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: Well, this Mike Rabel Diana Rausimi thing, It's like, I'm
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: just curious now what people are doing, because you're every
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: day it seems like there's a new photo or a
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: video or something that's coming out from five or six
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: years ago, and I'm just curious. Why do people have
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: photos of Mike Rabel and Diana Russini from five or
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: six years ago that they've now now they're like, oh,
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: so they were having unfair I'm gonna go back in
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: my iPhone to twenty twenty.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: I swear I've got a photo of them at a bar.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Right, it's weird.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I would imagine there would be if if they thought
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: they were like incognito and were hanging out, Yeah, like
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: they were in that casino that one time, Like somebody
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: might take a picture of them and not think anything
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: of it. Yeah, and then when they hear this, like,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, remember that picture I took.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I would imagine there'd be some people like that.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but there are people out there that are like
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: combing through every interview she's ever did to find a.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: Aha, you had to pull out whatever weird stuff she said, Yeah,
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: I got you. I'm a bad word there.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Too, And I don't mind.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, she's dug her own hole, so I don't care.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: I don't care if people pile on. But I mean
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: there are a couple of dudes out there that are
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: spending pretty much.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Tony Farmer is.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: One of those men.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Done follow him. I was like, man, why are you
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: so into this?
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: He is?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: He's like making it his career.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: Like She's right, it's just everything he does is on
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: Frable and Rasini and it's too much.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if he's I don't know his background.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he's like a private investigator, if
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: he's a reporter, if he's a TMZ want to be guy,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: or if he's a sports journey I have no idea.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: But he's like made it his life's mission to expose
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: everything about this crazy.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: But then yeah, TMZ put out a new photo today,
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: who knows who sent that to them?
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: And it's from a twenty twenty two super Bowl party.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: Okay, And she's got her hand on his back and
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: is like whispering something into his ear and it's just
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: his back. You can't see it's him, and so it
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: just says Diane Rassini, Mike Rabel. But it's like, okay,
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: in that case, you're at a.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl party. Why is someone taking that picture? I
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: don't know. There's just certain things that I'm like, this
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: seems yeah.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: I mean again, I don't feel bad for you of them.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying that in that way. I'm just saying
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: like it is crazy that every day there's just someone's
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: finding a new photo they took of two people they
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: don't know five years ago.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Well, what about the video clip where they were apparent
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: they were doing I don't know if that was during COVID,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: you know, when people were trying to create content.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but they were like it was like
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the Brady Bunch. They were like six squares.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, when she was and they were on like
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: a family feud style thing that they did.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and why Rabel would agree to do that? He
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: wouldn't like it, Like if we asked him to do.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: That, do you know how fast he'd say no?
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: Well, especially now, I'd hope he'd say no. Well, I
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: mean even then, yes, I agree. But they're both on
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: this panel together. And then she says there's there's some
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: comment about like a cause for closing your eyes, and
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: she says when you're having when you're making love to
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: your husband or w and he just cringes.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hei, Well, first of all, why would you bring
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: up both husband or wife?
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: So, I mean it's just their fingerprints are all over there's. Yeah,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: it's an absolute mess, and it's obviously been going on
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: for a long long time.
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: And she was kind of a jerking whole thing about it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Anyway, all right, my one last thing here today. Speaking
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: of NFL drama. We joked about this last week. Would
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: it be funny if Aaron Rodgers just went to Pittsburgh
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: to hang out Ashley, He just went to Pittsburgh today?
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: No, he didn't, as he did.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Have you heard any reports about Aaron Rodgers with the Steelers?
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: No quote.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers has been in town for a couple of days,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: but the Steelers have not met with him and instead
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: have been talking with his agent. Rodgers has stayed away
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: from the team's South Side facility while the three day
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: rookie mini camp has been going on. He's not even
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: he didn't even show up at the facility.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: He did go to the Ketchup factory.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I don't know if he went to the
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Ketchup factory. I don't know if he got there and
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: something was set over the phone. He's like, I'm not coming,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: But he did go to Pittsburgh. But I was sitting
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: here this morning. I was just sitting here like one
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: vast thing, and I'm like, did we get an update
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: on Aaron Rodgers all weekend long? So I don't know
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: if this is accurate. This is Andrew Vasquez of Steeler's Wire,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: and he's quoting somebody, Gary Dulac, who I think does
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: cover the team officially for the Steelers. But yes, he
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: went to Pittsburgh this weekend and did not meet with
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: the Steelers.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: That's uh.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: You can't make this stuff up when it comes to
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers, are not yeahoo's got some latest.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe there's something out here latest. Aaron Rodgers running around?
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Oh latest, run around?
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: This is the thing. This is what I brought up
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: last week. Every time. He doesn't want to be in
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: the news. I don't want to be in the.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: Media, but he does these things that keep people talking
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: about him, and then he acts like he hates it.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: He does not hate it at all.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: He loves for us.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: He loves this. He loves messing with people. He loves
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: sending people in wild goose chases.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: This is his.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Time to shine. Yeah, it's annoying.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: He is in Pittsburgh, they think, and he is going
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: to meet with the Steelers.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: He just hasn't well. So I don't know. It's very strange.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: I mean it might very well be a As I
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: said last week, I think Aaron Rodgers just likes to
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: hear how.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Much he's wanted.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's all he likes.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: And I'll guarantee you, Arizona, even though they don't have
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: the team that looks like they should be adding a
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: forty two year old quarterback to get them over the top,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: because of the people in charge there, I'm betting, I'm
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: guessing that they're making him feel like they want him.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: More than what pitch is.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh's treating it like, you know, you want to be here,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: the door's open, you let us sign where I have
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: a feeling. Arizona and Nathaniel Hackett and Lafleur and everybody else.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Was like, you gotta come here, man, you'll be a god.
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: Well and even when yeah, they're reportedly working on the
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: contract with Jacoby Brissette and telling him that he's their
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: number one, but you know, Aaron Rodgers goes to Pittsburgh
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: just to hang out and keep it quiet for a
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: couple of days.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Then Arizona's like, wait a minute, guys, we got to
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: take this seriously. He might go to Pittsburgh. We gotta
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: let him know we want him.
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: And then he's giving all of his dreams coming true
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: because he just wants to be told out Grady is
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: all the time.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: And then again, like you know, we make a big
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: deal out of this too. We're guilty of a lot
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: of things. And when I say we, I mean the media.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: He very well this thing could be planned. He very
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: well has already met with them secretly, and the media
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: doesn't know about it. In Pittsburgh, I mean, it was
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: the weekend. I doubt Omar Khan, the general man, going
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: to the office on Saturday and Sunday. They could have
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: met out on a boat somewhere, and.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: They might have been at a softball tournament.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: From others, they.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Might have been at a softball tournament for Mother's Day.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, the the possibilities are endless, clearly. Yeah, all right,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: that's going to do it for us today. Thank you
