• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Oh, and you can smell the sea. You know it's
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: getting toasty.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: You know it's starting to warm up a little bit.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Whenever you can smell.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: The sea because it stinks.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I I can smell the sea.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, smells like fish poop.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Hey, it's a beautiful day urn when you can smell
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: the sea. It's Chuck and Ashley with you. We roll

• 1:50
  Speaker 3: You can just take it in. All right, let's get
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: started your eight top stories of the day. We do
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: this every Friday, and my goodness, what a week for
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: the mayor. I mean, there is just a lot happening.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: What the hell's going on out here?
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Well, look scared is his eyelids are jammed and his
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: old man's here.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: We need a live was it a live rooster?
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: We need a live rooster to take the curse off
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: hoses gleven.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Nobody seems to know what to get Millie or Jimmy
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: for their wedding.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: President about right, that's right, We're dealing with a lot
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: of shit.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I think maybe the best delivered line in the history
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: of Kevin Koshner's career right there.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Pretty good?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Ah man, I love that scene. So the Mariners, I
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: don't know if they're chopping heads off roosters these days,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: but obviously trying to get their blank together this season,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: sitting at three games under five hundred, but they guy
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: gave us a lot to talk about this week Sunday
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: the surprise call up of number one prospect Colt Emerson.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Then on Tuesday the great piggyback experiment of twenty twenty six,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: and then When's Day? JP Crawford's self demotion which he
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: made public, freeing up Colt Emerson to play his normal
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: position of shortstop, as JP is going to try and
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: transition into a third baseman for this team midway through
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: the season, this late in his career, So what's next?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I have no idea. Julio announces he's dating a Kardashian.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, okay, I'll have a real problem with that one.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: It is a day off on Thursday. We had one
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: yesterday for everyone to catch their breath. But man, what
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: a week for sports talk radio, What a week for
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: the Mariners. I mean, seems like an awful lot of
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: transition for a team two months ago that seemed to
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: be in a place of how excited they were about
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: how their roster was, how great they were set up
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: for a championship run this year. And I still think
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: they believe. I know they believe that still to this day.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: But man, that's a lot of signiant shake up. That's
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: a lot of significant news to take place in one week,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: two months into the year.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: And yeah, it did seem like every day it was like, oh, okay,
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: well now, no, you don't have to just talk about
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: a win or a loss or a game like we
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: normally do each week. It was just from one, as
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: you said, from Sunday all the way through. I mean
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: on Wednesday, when I was filling in for Greg, we
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: were supposed to have Anders on to talk World Cup
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: at ten thirty, and he luckily had forgotten and gone
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: home because it felt weird going from piggyback gait to
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: World Cup. Because we had it scheduled, so it worked
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: out for the best that we could talk basically mariners
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: forty minutes straight, because that's really what everybody wanted to
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: talk about HM.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: And the reason you want to talk about it and
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: why there's such good topics is because we're not sure
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: about any of them. No, there's an argument for bringing
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: up cold Emerson because I do believe he's the better
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: defensive shortstop. He's the best one in our organization. But
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: there's certainly an argument against calling him up period. Is
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: he ready for it? He's twenty years old. He wasn't
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: exactly lighting triple on fire. Are we bringing him up
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: too quickly? And if he does struggle, what is that
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: going to do to his psyche? How much could that
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: push him back? I don't want to send him back
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: to Tacomb at some point this year.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: That's the one thing I do not want.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: The Great Piggyback Experiments, I mean, I thought it was
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: an interesting idea. For the most part, I think it
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: went really a well. I thought it was effective. Everybody
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: pitched well. I don't even think Munio's pitched poorly and
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: coughing up the lead in the ninth. But the experiment
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: at the very end ended up blowing up in their face,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: and it's back to the drawing board, at least for
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: one more round of it. We're going to do it
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: one more time and maybe beyond we shall see. But
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: we do get to apply the things that maybe we
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: didn't do well in the experiment, adjust the formula, adjust
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: the mathematical equation, and maybe do it better this next
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: time around. And maybe that includes one nothing games trump all. Yeah,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: we don't just stick to a script when we are
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: literally a home run or a goofy play away from
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: coughing up the lead. So I think that's an adjustment
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: that they'll make going forward. And then JP Crawford, his
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: gesture seemed wonderful, like the self awareness and the self
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: sacrifice to say, I might not be the best man
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: for the job at shortstop. If the kid is give
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: him the job and let me have a crack at
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: third base while Brendan's out with the injury seemed like
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: a really great gesture on his part. And yet we
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: don't know if he's going to be able to make
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: that transition to third base. And again we don't know
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: if Colt Emerson is one hundred percent ready to take
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: over as the starting shortstop for a World Series contender.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, and yeah, the unknowns definitely, I mean,
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: are just add to the fodder, right, add to the conversation.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: But I'm excited to see what might happen.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to the lineup coming out today and
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: seeing what, yeah, how it looks.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: So we'll see.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Well. They will play in Kansas City tonight against the Royals,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: who are also struggling. More on that in a moment,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: But before we completely transition out of story number one
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: into story number two, there is the JP Crawford announcement yesterday,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: which leads us with all sorts of questions.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: You know, I just I want to be a Mariner
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: for life, and I think that's the best way to
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: do it, and you know, just always being open to
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: helping the team.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Winy Dike.
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: The young guys talk about you and just everything that
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: you've done for them.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: What does it mean to you to be that person
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: for them?
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it means everything. You know. When I came up,
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: I really didn't have anyone to show me the ropes
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: until I got over here and Dee Gordon and Kyle
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: Seeger took me onto their wing, and you know, I
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: made a promise to myself to you know, be like them.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna go heres the winter words here, then stay
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: here as long as I can. And that's only two
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: things on my mind.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: I love it, just love it. I mean, the Cynics
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: can pooh on it if they'd like, but I don't
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: even care. I don't even care if they went to
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: him and prepared him for what they were going to do.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Matter.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he still is taking, certainly the high road. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: all I ever want to hear from a veteran player
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: who maybe is on the back side of his career
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: is I just want to help the team win a
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: championship and I want to be here longer than this year.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: If you're pulling anything negative from that, you probably hate
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: kittens and puppies too.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Like I can't help you at that point. I just can't.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: What do you think he'll play third base tonight?
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: I think he will.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: I do too, Yeah, and I'm and I think if
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: he makes one mistake, people, I knew it was going
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: to be a failure. You got to give the guy
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: a little bit of room to warm up into the position.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: But I think he will. I think he'll be fine.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Maybe they give him one more day, because you're going
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: to face a left hander tonight.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: He gads, I know, oh god tonight.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And so they'll put Wisdom at third base tonight,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: but we will see him play third base before the weekend,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: no later than Saturday.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: I find sure that. Yes.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Like the Mariners, the Royals had huge hopes heading into
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: this season. Thought they were going to win the American
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: League Central and who knows. But like the Mariners, they
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: got off to a frustratingly poor start. Unlike the Mariners,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: there's been very little sign that they are coming out
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: of it. Kansas City has a ghastly twenty and thirty
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: record right now. Sixteen days ago they'd won their fifth
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: straight game and thought they were back on track. But
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: since then they've just slipped right back into nothingness. They've
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: gone three and eleven, including being swept by the Boston
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Red Sox in their most recent series, and the Red
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Sox aren't even playing good baseball this year. Of course,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: part of that five game winning streak a couple of
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: weeks ago, who was that against jus they swept us
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: at T Mobile. So we've got to prove we can
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: beat the Kansas City Royals first and foremost. Tonight, Game
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: one of the series will begin at four forty. They
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: will throw a left hander in Noah Cameron, but a
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: left hander who's not been good this year.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Not that that's going to say that hasn't mattered a lot.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: And maybe a a little differently, a left hander who
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: can't get lefties out. Okay, So maybe, as I suggested earlier,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: maybe this is a decent time to experiment with dom Canzone,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: who at two seventy six against lefties a year ago.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Maybe give him a start to day.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I like that idea.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe see if he can hit this lefty. Logan Gilbert
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: will start for US.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Okay, let's go. Don't let them start another win streak.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, please, we can't. We can't get swept by
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: the Padres and the Royals in the same season. Come
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: on now. Item number three on the O Show the
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Stanley Cup playoffs. Well, they've reached the conference finals and
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: last night the Eastern Conference Finals got underway in the Carolinas.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Now there's the rust versus rest debate that's going to
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: that's been lasting for years, decades, It's going to continue,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: It's going to last for generations, whether or not rust
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: or rest hurts you in a playoff. And then and
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: there's the Carolina Hurricanes hockey team who might have taken
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: rust to a whole new level.
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: Good did you ever get this?
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Well, about a year ago, I was chopping that tree
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: when suddenly it began to rain, and right in the
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: middle of the chap. I rusted solid. Been that way
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: ever since. Yeah, they rusted solid.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Sure seemed like it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: After eleven days off, eleven days off awaiting the results
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: of a seven game series between the Montreal Canadians and
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: the Buffalo Sabres, the Hurricanes waited and they waited and
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: they waited, and everything they did to start the playoffs
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: eight and oh this year seemed to simply rust solid
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: on them, particularly their star defenseman Jacob Sloven, who shouldered
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: all the blame for the Game one loss. He got
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: to the end of the game he says, I'm taking
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: responsibility that I was terrible. We lost because of me.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Tonight about that, Yeah, that's some leadership right there.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Some JP Crawford's done.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: That is right there. That's what I was thinking.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: And it is interesting because I was wondering, so what
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: other teams look at that performance in Game one?
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Next year and be like, you know what, I think
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: we need to lose a game in the middle of sweeping, just.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Give ourselves a little less time, maybe extend the series
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: a little bit.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know. There's nothing scientific, there's nothing mathematical to
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: make back this up. But my belief is that that
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: rest hurts you at the beginning of a series, right,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: that the team that has the momentum and didn't wait,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: they've been playing you know, playoff hockey, right or playoff basketball,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: whatever the case may be, and that first game rust
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: does hurt you. But I do believe over the course
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: of seven games, rest does come into play to help you.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: I would agree with that.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Canadians just got beat up for two
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: straight series for fourteen games. The Carolina Hurricanes have played
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: six fewer games over that time, and so I think
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: over the course of the series that rest that's saving
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: their bodies will actually benefit them. But for the first game, yeah,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: I think it is difficult after eleven days off to
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: match the intensity required for winning a playoff game.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And as you said, Montreal had all the momentum
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: coming off that game seven win, and they're pumped, they're
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: feeling it.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: So I get it Game two Saturday at four o'clock.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Game two of the Western Conference Finals tonight at five.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: The Golden Knights of Las Vegas are up one to zero.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: And I think Colorado who didn't spend near the time
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: on the beach as the Carolina Hurricanes did, but I
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: think they were rusty in game number one as well,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: and they suffered for it four item number four on
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: our eight item ocho. The NBA Playoffs continued last night
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: and the eastern side of things and man are the
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: New York knicker Bockers. Red hot, hard on the drive,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: spin moves flowing away one hand, that shot as God.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Everything going down tonight for Josh Hart Jared Allen, the
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Runners can't kid it the follow Miss Punson comes out
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: of the pack two on one break Brutzel to the
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: basket packs at all ESPN on the call, Jason Hart
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: scored a team I twenty six point or Josh Hart
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: not Jason Josh Hart? I wrote Jason this morning at
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: three o'clock, what was I on?
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Goofersh you were? It was three o'clock.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: It was three o'clock. Josh Hart scored a team I
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: twenty six points and the Knicks won their ninth consecutive
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: playoff game. That's right, their ninth consecutive playoff game, with
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: a one oh nine ninety three win over the Cleveland
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Cavaliers Thursday night. Not only have the nixt won nine
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: straight games in the postseason, they have dominated during that stretch,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: outscoring their opponents by a combined two hundred and twelve points.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: It's an NBA record. Keep in mind, not just for
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: the postseason, but for any stretch of nine games in
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: an NBA season. That's the largest point margin, and they're
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: doing it in the playoffs. Incredible how well the New
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: York Knicks are playing. I honestly did not think they
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: were capable of playing this well.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: I don't think most people thought they were, so it's
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: been a surprise to a lot of people now.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: They haven't made the finals since nineteen ninety nine. They
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: are wearing the that heavy cloak throughout the playoffs, and
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: the Indiana Pacers took them out last year when they
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: were supposed to break that stenchy stretch. So they're not home.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Hey's not in the barn. They got two more wins
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: to get. But man, they just look so much better
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: than the Cleveland Cavaliers to come back from that twenty
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: two point deficit like it was nothing well.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: And that seemed to deflate. I mean that seemed to
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: almost like wound Cleveland.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Oh they're wounded.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: For Game two, it was like, oh, there's a fresh
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: flore can we do it's a fresh wound.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: New York has a two zero series lead. Cleveland will
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: switch to host Saturday at five o'clock. Thursday. Excuse me,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Thunder and Spurs. If you combine nearly spells Thursday, it
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: I like that Thunder and Spurs. Their series is even
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: at one. Spurs will host Game three tonight. They will
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: tip that off at five thirty. Darren Fox and Dylan
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Harper might both miss this game for the Spurs, and
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma City looks almost certain to be without Jalen Williams
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: in this game. So yes, the injuries creeping up on
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: everybody the deeper they get into the playoffs. Other basketball news,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: the Storm back in action tonight against Connecticut. I hope
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: they didn't fly home to Connecticut.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: In a real way.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Hope they hung out and checked out all of our sites.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Maybe went to the Space Needle.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna guess they are went to the pink door.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna guess they were worried about the travel back
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: and forth, so I'm going to assume they stayed here.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Sorry, you didn't have a Mariners game to go to
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: last night.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Ladies, Sorry about it.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Excuse me. The two teams just played Wednesday, Storm lost
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: to the Sun eighty to seventy eight, and now they're
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: playing them again tonight at home. So it's not like
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: a home and away, right, it's a home and a home.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: So back to back games against the Connecticut Sun over
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: here at Climate Pledge Tip will be at seven o'clock tonight.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Both of these teams have won just one game in
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: the early portion of the season, and if the Sun
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: won Wednesday.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Well then it's our turn.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: And they only have one win. That means their only
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: win came against the Storm, So you're right, revenge, Yeah,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: it's all about revenge.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: I would be super angry for what happened on Wednesday.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's time.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: It's been too long. Settle this score, take that win back.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: National Football League Matt Stafford has signed a one year
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: extension where fifty five million dollars, meaning it looks like
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: we have the reigning league MVP to deal with for
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: at least another two seasons, but.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: That better be yet, so always a long fall from
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: the top of as easy West.
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: I've been waiting to say this to you for a
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: long time, deep down in my stomach, with every inch
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: of it h pier straight. But God, do I respect you.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of the way I feel about Stafford.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I actually love watching him play football.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: I know I hate that I have respect for him.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: It's gross.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But and it might not be just another two seasons.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: You know how they are. They talk about retiring forever,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: and then when they think about, oh, but this is
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: fun and I make a lot of money, he might
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: talk himself out of that. But we know for at
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: least two more years he will be quarterbacking the Los
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Angeles Rams. Damn him.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: I feel like every time he talks any quarterback talks
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: about retirement, though, you gotta put like one thousand dollars
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: in the pickle jar.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe. And then our seventh item here Kyle Busch. Yesterday,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: monster story in the sports world. NASCAR living active legend
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: passed away, and it was a stunner, not just to
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: the entire sports world, but certainly to the NASCAR World.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Marty Smith works for ESPN and does a lot of
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: their coverage of NASCAR. He was broken up about it Yesterday's.
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: It's truly impossible at this moment, Scotty to try to
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: properly articulate and speak eloquently to Kyle Busch's influence on
• 19:41
  Speaker 9: the sport of NASCAR and the people within it and
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: the millions of fans. There's never been a driver that
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: had greater talent in the history of motorsport than Kyle Busch.
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: Kyle was not somebody about whom you were on the
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: fence as a competitor. He was a guy that he
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: made you feel you loved him or you hated him.
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: And just to think about the fact that now he's
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: gone is just impossible to try to process. It's just
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: an unimaginable tragedy.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Forty one years old, Kyle Busch passed away. He had
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: not been feeling well as of late, was working through it,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: which in his line of work, and that's pretty demanding
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: on the body. He was not feeling well, went to
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: the hospital with what was described as a severe illness,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: and he did not come out of that hospital. Passed
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: away at the age of forty one. And it is
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: shocking to see someone still active and one of the
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: biggest names in his sport pass away. I could not
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: believe what I was reading on my television yesterday. And
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: I am not even a NASCAR fan, but certainly since
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: shockwaves throughout the entire sports world yesterday. And we will
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: talk about it a little bit more later on this hour.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Final item of the Ohoe Sounders will play Sunday. They'll
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: take on LAFC that will be in Los Angeles six
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: point fifteen and it will be a nationally televised game
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: on Fox. Coming up next on our radio program, we
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: follow up with our sup with you question your grades
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: on Dan Wilson to this point in the season. What's
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: your letter grade and why we're taking text, we're taking
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: stuff off of YouTube, and we are also hopefully gonna
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: have a recorded talkback or two to play for you
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: on Dan Wilson. Next on KJR. Jake Peavey today at
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: nine o'clock from MLB Network. You know, excellent pitcher. He
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: just watched the Mariners play on Sunday. We didn't play well,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: but he watched it, so we're gonna have him on
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: at nine and then Berkeley Catton is going to join
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: us today at nine to thirty, so we'll talk to
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: the youngster about the National Hockey League and when he
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: thinks he'll shave for the first time. So we'll do
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: that at nine thirty, coming up on the radio program.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: So you'll hear from them. You'll you've already heard from us.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: We want to hear from you. It's time with sup
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: with you. And I've already loaded this thing up with
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: a question from an hour ago, your letter grade on
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Dan Wilson's managerial work so far this season and why?
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: And we got some talkbacks reason that fancy talkback feature.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: That's right, We are all right, So what do we get?
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Hey, guys begetting jeans here? Oh? My letter greed for
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: coach Dan Wilson. Is I for incomplete or incompetent? Oh?
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's incomplete and incompetent are two different scores.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he said, incomplete or incompetent.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, that's two different scores.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: There's not really, they're not they're not synonyms.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: No, No, incomplete would mean you know what, I haven't
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: seen enough yet to make a judgment, right, Incompetent would
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: incompetent would be I've seen enough and the guy sucks
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: at his job.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: That's what that would be.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: I would I wonder if I would have taken home
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: a letter grade of I to my mom, what she
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: would have said, I, how did you get an I?
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Mom, I would have said, Oh, I
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: think my teacher just has an accent.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: It's supposed to be an A.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: I think it might be for inebriated. Yeah, I was
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: drunk a lot in the third grade.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: That happens. That happens.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go, let's get another one.
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: The entire hiring process of Dan was an F. When
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: Dan was hiring, my guy be an F. There was
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: no search committee. That's an F. Jerry hired a friend.
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: That's an F. Jerry hired Cow's best friend. That's an F.
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: Everything about Dan is an F. F F failure, failure, failure.
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: The guy looks like you poop his pants every single
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: freaking game. Dan is horrible, and so is Edgar.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: I don't love that out there at the end, and
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: it's very He's he definitely is not incomplete or incompetent.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: He knows what he's great. He's giving me.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's he's very sure of himself, and it
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: makes me feel a little better that I was a
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: little worried I was being too harsh on the air
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: towards you are not.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a little harsh, a little harsh.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Um Man, there there was a lot there. I think
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: there's something to everything that he's saying, but obviously I'm
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: not going to go as far as how he's saying it.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean I thought they just saw Dan
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Wilson as man, He's going to be a great manager
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: something I think every I think people felt that way
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: about him when he played that. Yeah, that's that guy's
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: got manager written all over him. He's a catcher, he's smart,
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: everybody likes him. That's got that guy's got manager written
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: all over him. And maybe you do possess eight of
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: the ten qualities, let's say, to be a great manager,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: But what about those other two? You don't know until
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: they're thrown into the fire. I do think he struggles
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: with the x's and o's portion of the game, and
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: he has since he took over, and particularly when to pinch,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: who to pinch hit with, and when to make pitching changes. Yeah,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: having a feel for the game, which yes, boiling it
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: down really sounds bad that way. You really struggle with
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: having a feel.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: For the game. It's right, Yeah, that is it.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Scott Servis was amazing at pitching changes. That was his strength.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: But Dan's much better with the clubhouse, and that really
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: is his job. His job is to get the most
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: out of the team. The problem is you're not getting
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: the most out of the team. You are falling well short.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: So I don't know if i'd like the you know,
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: light the world on fire like that last caller did,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: but I think he brings up some really good points.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he did have one thing that was glaringly wrong though.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: Dan Wilson is not cal Ralely's best friend.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: That's logan that logan, Yill.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Don't you dare try to diminish those that friendship. All right,
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: we have another idea, have another one. This one's different,
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: all right, Chuck.
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and give Dan Wilson an
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: A and in the fact, I'm gonna give Jerry Depoto
• 26:09
  Speaker 10: and the rest of the front office and in a as well,
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: because ultimately, the ownership group should be scared to even
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: be in Washington State, and the fact that they're not
• 26:18
  Speaker 10: means that everybody else is doing their job perfectly.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: So hey A plus Wow different.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one way to go about it, right there.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: That's a little different than the previous caller. Correct, Yeah,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm not as worked up. I didn't grow up
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: with this team like you do, and it has been
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: historically cheap, and I understand that's hard for you to
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: get over. And they're certainly not big time spenders now.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: But I don't think our payroll is the problem this year.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Certainly you could go further with it, no doubt about it.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: But we have a good enough team at our payroll
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: to be much better than we are right now. So
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: that kind of flies in the face of his logic
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: because he's saying, because ownership's done such a bad job,
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: everybody deserves an A. I don't think I go that far,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: but I kind of like the roundabout way that he
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: graded the entire process.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: All right, there you go, We're gonna go to text now,
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: all right on the Tacoma Dodge text line from the
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: four two, five, A B plus B plus. He has
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: to filter from the top down to him with all
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: their ideas, and he also has to be a player's coach.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: He ain't lou Panella, but he's trying to do what
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: they want him to do and feel the players out
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: on how they're.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: Doing and what they need to do to get on track.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: So I'll say B plus because he's got to do
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: it on both ends and he gets all the blame.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Seems reasonable. I think that. And this is one thing
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: that I think a lot of Mariner fans are guilty
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: of a little bit. They're just assuming that it's Jerry,
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: like on a phone like Phil Knight used to be
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: with Oregon fron the ball. Yeah, well he was rumored
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: to be. It's not that extreme. Does Jerry have a
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: lot of influence, Yes, does Justin then by proxy have
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: a lot of influence?
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Do they meet every day? And is Jerry and Justin
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: part of that process? Absolutely? Are they the biggest part
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: of that process in terms of coming up with organizational philosophy,
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: not just overall but from day to day. Yes, yes,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: But I don't think that's unlike other places in Major
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: League Baseball. This is not Mike Soosha throwing away scouting
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: reports in the trash like he did with Jerry and Anaheim.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: You are part of that process. General managers are involved
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: with it, and so from what I've heard, once the
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: game begins, that's all Dan. Now do they say this
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: is what we like to see and this is our
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: plan as a group going forward. Yeah, absolutely, And I
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: do think that the texture is right from this standpoint.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: I do think trying to manage all of that right now.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: For Dan this early in his career, I think he
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: struggles with it. The more different things that you put
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: beyond win the game, just go win the game, make
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: the moves to win the game. I think Dan has
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: so many things that he's trying to think about at
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: once that maybe he's not thinking for himself. He's not
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: thinking on his feet. He does look nervous to me.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: I know we did fair or Unfair yesterday and I
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: realized this might be unfair because I'm just trying to
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: read the poker player across the table. But if he
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: is playing poker against me, I'm like, this guy is
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: shaken in his boots.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: Well, and I told you that's not unfair, because that's
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: your opinion of what you're seeing. Now, if you said
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: he's clearly overwhelmed or he's clearly not ready for it,
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: just said, but maybe that's unfair maybe because it is
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: an opinion, right, it is your interpretation of what you're seeing.
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: But I think to say he looks nervous or something
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: along those lines is not unfair at all.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: And I don't like that. I don't want my manager
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: to be that. Well, now, maybe I'm the only one
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: seeing it doesn't sound like I am. But like I
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: said yesterday, when I'm on a rocky ship, I better
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: not the captain of the ship. Better not be nervous. Yeah,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: I agree, you know, if we're getting ready, you know,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: if the if a guy starts a fight, if my
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: buddy starts a fight in a bar, hed better be
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: good at fighting. He better not be leaving it, leaving
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: it to us. He better be calm and ready, you know. Yeah,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: you be the quarterback, Better be the calmest guy in
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: the huddle with the game on the line. Stuff like that.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: And I just don't get that impression. But I fully
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: admit might be way over my skis on that.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: All right, we got two more to get to this
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: one from the two O six grade C seventy four percent.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: His in game decisions, whether it's directly from percentages or
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: his gut, just isn't up to par he doesn't have
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: enough experience.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: I'm with Chuck.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: I'm not gunning for him to be replaced, but I
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: don't think i'd be upset over it if it happened.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, well, he's pretty much just quoted me, so I'm
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: going to agree with him.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: There you go, and from the eight five to nine
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: Dan Wilson grades before first pitch, B in game D
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: postgame interviews FFFFF.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: I agree with both of those last two takes.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: Yes, for sure, we got I wish I want someone
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: to go talk to him about the postgame interviews.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: We just need a little bit more, a little bit more.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: I don't think they care. They're the same organization that
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: won't give us, won't allow their sideline reporter who they hire,
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: give us injury updates in game for whatever reason. They
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: don't care if we get information in a timely fashion
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: or in a charismatic fashion. I think they love the
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Dan Wilson is a vanilla wafer and a world of
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: delicious cookies and a press conference. I don't think they
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I don't think that bothers them in the slightest that
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: he gives us nothing and says the exact same thing
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: after every loss.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: I think I could pull any press conference for I'm
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: a loss, or any press conference from a win and
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: play it and people would think it was the press
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: conference from the game before.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's bad at it. Yeah, But then again, if
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: he was getting the most out of all of his
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: players and he was not screwing up, in my opinion,
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: late game decisions, I don't care if he went out
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: there and you know, grabbed Ryan Divish's microphone and farted
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: in it, I don't care.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: Actually might be more entertaining if.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: We were if we were thirty five and sixteen right now. Yeah,
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: he can just go out there and moon the Seattle
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: media hoard for all I care.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if he wins the World Series, he can just
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: go out and go in his postgame press conference and
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: I'm good.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: All right, Jake Peevey at nine o'clock, Coming up next,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: we will discuss what is the biggest story in American
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: sports right now. Sports Radio ninety three point three KHARFM.
• 33:08
  Speaker 11: Part It is Chuck an Ashley with you here this morning.
• 33:11
  Speaker 11: We're getting ready for a big three day weekend. Excited
• 33:15
  Speaker 11: about that. Certainly, hopefully weather cooperates. We have a grand
• 33:18
  Speaker 11: old time.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: We've got still another hour to go Booze News to
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: close out the week, and two terrific guests to come
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: on the show. Berkeley Catton's going to join us at
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: nine thirty as soon as he's done with preschool. He'll
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: be joining us here on the program. And also Jake
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Peavey will be joining us. We got plenty of baseball
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: conversation to have with the former pitching great who was
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: just in town this past weekend watching us play some
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: of our worst baseball.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Ever, and so he enjoyed that.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we'll see, but we'll chat with him from
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: MLB Network coming up at nine o'clock. But the biggest
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: story in sports right now, American sports, is the death
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: of Kyle Busch, and I think it's worth a few minutes.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Even though I am not a NASCAR fan and will
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: in no way attempt to come off as a professional,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: I certainly am a human being and what a just tragic, horrible,
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: sudden story that his family obviously has to deal with,
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: the entire NASCAR world has to deal with here this morning.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: But I also am not somebody that they're going to,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: you know, use to eulogize, you know, Kyle Busch. I'm
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: a sports talk show host, and I just think it's
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: kind of good to put in proper perspective on a
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: day like this. My impression of what Kyle Busch was
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: because from what I understand, from what I gather, he
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: was like a freakish talent. Now, I've watched basketball my
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: entire lives. Moment I saw Lebron James, I'm like, oh boy,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: that's different. You know, I've watched baseball my entire life.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: The moment I saw Dwight Gooden at nine team take
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: amount of Oh gosh, Dad, come in here.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: You gotta see this.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta see this. Moment I saw Barry Sanders.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: What on earth? Well, I can watch NASCAR and not
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: really be able to tell if anybody has talent. I can't.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, I just didn't grow up with a sport.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: I don't watch it regularly, and I cannot differentiate. Kind
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: of feels like whoever avoided the rext to me is
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: the person that wins. But I know that's not the case.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: What I gather from those that are NASCAR junkies is
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: this was like Barry Sanders, or like Dawhite Goodin, or
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: like Lebron James, like he had unique talent, like the
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: type of talent that separated him from other drivers who
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: are obviously very talented themselves. Hard for me to see,
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: but that seems to be the reputation. I heard Marty
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: Smith compare him to Kobe Bryant. We just lost the
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant of our sport here in NASCAR. So whatever
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: it was about his abilities natural or developed, apparently Kyle
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Busch was a rare talent in the sport.
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's what it seems like everything you're reading
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: every I mean, even you know, Dale Earnhardt Junior went
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: out and said we had our rivalry, but I'm just
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: so glad that we got to kind of put things
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: aside in the last year and we're in a better place.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: And you know, when you think of Dale Earnhart Junior
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: or Dale Earnhart in general, you know that name from racing,
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: regardless of if you follow it or not, right, And
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: so I just think it's a similar situation the shock
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: that people are dealing with, but not only that. He
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: was only forty one years old, you know, And I
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: watched him on a show I can't I think it
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: was on Netflix about NASCAR racers and their families, and
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: he's I mean, that's all I know of him because
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: I don't want watch NASCAR, But he just seemed to
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: be all of those things. You could see that people
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: admired him, they respected him. They also, you know, as
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: Marty Smith said he was, he either loved him or
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: you hated him. And you could even tell in that
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: show that people, you know, his competitors and fans loved
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: him or hated him. And that's a great thing to
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: be in any field, right, to be that person that
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: people latch onto, either positively or negatively.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Well that's the other aspect that has I wanted to
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: squeeze in here is because I'm not getting the eulogy
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: at his unfortunate funeral. I mean he was a jerk.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: I mean he was a jerk, and yet he was
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: a young player, a young person who you know, had
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: a lot of success and couldn't control his temper and
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: couldn't control his rage, and a lot of the other
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: racers wanted to fight him all the time. So that
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: can't get lost in it. I mean, he was a jerk,
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: but the older he got, the more he mellowed. And
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: then once he had a family and he had a
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: wife and he had a kid. He mellowed considerably. I
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: mean I watched Top Chef. He was just in the
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: last season of Top Chef, and he comes across like this, like,
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, sweetheart Southerner. You know, I love myself biscuits,
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: you know, that sort of character. So he had mellowed
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: a lot out of the ears, and he mended a
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: lot of those fences, and by the time he was
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: forty years old, he was sort of a blend of
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: the two. It's like he's a competitor and yeah, he
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: was a jerk at one point, but I respect the
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: fact that he's now seen the error in his ways
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: and he's still one heck of a driver. So it's
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: an interesting legacy that he carved out for himself. I
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: can't believe couldn't believe the scroll yesterday when I saw
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: it come across my television that he had passed away.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: But very sudden for the entire sports world, certainly for
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: the NASCAR world, and I can't even imagine what his
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: family is going through. So rest in peace, Kyle Busch.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Coming up next, Jake Peevie will join us on Kjar
