  Speaker 1: the best teams down two studs and in a game
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: that we were down thirteen and wobbling.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: I'll say that's a tamer Dan Hurly than what we
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: watched and heard last year.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: I couldn't put in the part where you ripped up
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: the stat sheet when someone was asking him about the
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: numbers and started laughing at them because you couldn't hear
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: the person speaking.
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: So it wouldn't have made a lot of sense.
• 0:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah.

  Speaker 3: Bengals get ready to host the new England Patriots. As
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: a matter of fact, there's a report suggesting he's healthier
• 2:16

  Speaker 6: Does he work on animals too.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I don't he works on you?

  Speaker 6: Why not?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll look into it. I'll make a call. I'll
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: see what I can do.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Let me know.
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: I mean, he might be able to make the entire
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: KJR lineup sleep better.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: We could all use it. I'll tell you that much.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: Right, you can all do a sleep study together.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: It's a grumpy lot. I mean, I'm telling you a
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: grumpy group of humans.
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: Just all jam into a hotel room somewhere and just,
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: you know, give one of those California Kings or whatever
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: the hell they're called.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: We should do a sleepover. It's time for a KJR sleepover.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: I was gonna say, last time you guys had a
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: real true sleepover, buddies come over.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: You pitch a tent in the back. Are you stay
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: up all night eating?
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Weird pitching tents.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: That's a long time ago for that. But yeah, I
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: think I mean crashed at a buddy's house with others
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: within the last ten years of my life probably, Yeah.
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: Bucket by the way, when I stayed oh yeah, last year,
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: actually put a tent up.
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: Oh you mean like a camping tent. Okay, good, I
• 4:23
  Speaker 8: didn't know. I didn't know how your buddy's getting. Hey,
• 4:27
  Speaker 8: we don't.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: That's how eyebrows. No, you said it, not me, Roll
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: up out there, roll.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Up, you thought it creepy, says.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: A right.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: Uh, well, as longer is left of this segment, speaking.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Of Boner's, Speaking of Boner's, how excited are you over
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Josh Naylor yesterday?
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: Boy, the first thing you thought, I said when you
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: said Boners is Mark James selling Boner pills and sandwiches
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: on his radio.
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: Show, whispering them, whispering sweet, nothing's in our ears.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Getting the group chat. Yeah, he's a turkey.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: He's not invited to the sleepholes, not doing that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Oh god.
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: I was very excited, very very excited about Josh Naylor.
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: You know, I don't know, man. I guess I was
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: kind of one of the people that expected it to happen.
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: There was a small small part of you that was
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: dreading it not happening. I guess because sometimes things happen.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: But I was. I could not have imagined, guys, the alternative,
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: which is him not being here next year, right, I mean,
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: for a baseball team that is so timid when it
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: comes to free agency and you know, doling out money
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: in free agency and long term contracts. I mean, I
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: think a lot of people in the industry were a
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: little bit surprised at the five years, for example, But
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: I'm totally fine with that, right Like, you know, the
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: guy can hit here, you know what he brings to
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: the table.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Everybody loves them.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: He's a great clubhouse presence, he likes, actually enjoys hitting
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: at T Mobile Park, which what kind of weirdo enjoys
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: hitting at te Mobile Park? He does, And you're gonna
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: worry about what kind of contract you gotta pay him
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: in two thousand and thirty, right at eighteen and a
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: half million, when what is that tenth right now in baseball?
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: I think the average per year for first basement and
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: in five years it might not even be in the
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: top thirty or top twenty in baseball. You know who
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: knows where that contract is in twenty thirty. So I
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: loved it. Good for them, but they can't be done.
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: They got more holes to fill, and I hope that
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: they can fill them.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, I give you credit because I remember listening to
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: the Softy and Dick Fane radio program.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: You were on this very early about.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: To extend this guy, sign this guy I don't think
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: you were as early as Bucky, but you were on
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: it very early.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Jeez, well I was again, you're right there, you're right there.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're only like a year behind.
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: I was wanting them to trade for him, sign him,
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: extend him back when he was like with Cleveland.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: I wanted him when he was an embryo. You did.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Then you win winner, snoway, I take that back, softie.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: Want I've got moles and hospitals all over the country.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Lucky wanted him in his past life.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: You had them all the way up in Canada. Your
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: mole was up in Canada.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: I did make sense, I got I got agents all
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: over the place, man, I bet you do. Actually, now
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: it's a phenomenal deal for them. It's a great deal
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: for him, you know. I mean just think about this
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: dude's life lately, right, I mean, the guy gets traded
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: to a contender, he goes to Game seven of the ALCS,
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: almost goes to the World Series, has a baby, and
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: now he's got ninety.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: Million in his in his pocket. So must be nice,
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: be nice, man? Bet him?
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's let's talk.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: Let me ask you guys a question real quick.
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: A fight if you don't mind, well for questions getting
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: tossed around, like, uh, is this enough?
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: Right? If this is what we say, all they do.
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: You know, they made the deal for the bullpen arm
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: from the Dodgers the other day. Uh, they brought it
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: hoppy obviously, you who knows what kind of effect it
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: impacts those deals will have. I think a lot of
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: times guys probably agree that they make deals like they
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: made the last couple of days for some relievers, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: they don't even really register on the radar, Like when
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: the Mariners traded for Bizardo what was it, middle of
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: twenty three, I think it was with Baltimore.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: Whatever, right, nobody even really said anything.
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: I was like, okay, whatever, And then two years later
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: the guy is phenomenal for them. Obviously he had the
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: hiccup in Game seven, but I'd say we all agree
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: that he was really good for them this year, especially
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: in the second half of the year. I'd be curious
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: to see what kind of role those players play. But
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: I do think right field, I do think second base,
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: I do think DH and I do think third or
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: all positions that you're going to have to try and address,
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: at least over the offseason. I'd like to see them
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: at even a little more starting pitching depth, to be
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: totally honest with you, compared to what they've had in
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: years past, it's not I think good enough right now, especially.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: If guys get banged up.
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: But are we totally now content if we get to
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: early April and this is it of significance.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Well, that long list of yours is not theirs. There's
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: this very short compared to yours.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, uh no.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: I think I think they're gonna try to get Polanco
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: or Suarez, and I wouldn't expect too much else.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I wouldn't expect too much else.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: Are you okay with that?
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I think that after what they did a year ago,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, we've already had.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: A better off season than we had last off season.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: It's all.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're not even the Thanksgiving and we've already
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: beaten that. So since it worked out last year where
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: they actually made their significant moves at the deadline to
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: address the holes that they had, and they addressed them aggressively,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I think they really liked that blueprint. I think they're
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: going to try to bring back Polanco or Suarez. I
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: think they will add something, but it's not gonna be
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: some laundry list that they're gonna check off that's gonna
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: make everybody happy. I think for the most part they
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: told us that. I think for the most part, they're
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: just going to try to run it back.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Which I'm alright with. Yeah, Yeah, I'm alright with it. Yeah,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I'm fine with that too.
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: I mean, I don't think you necessarily need to do
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: anything in right field. I think hopefully robust is healthy.
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: And then I liked things about Canzone. There's still his
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: room for improvement there. Obviously. I think second base you
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: got to you can give some of these youngsters cold
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: young you know, bliss, we'll be back. You get some opportunities,
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: give them some opportunities. I do think you have to
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: address something else, but that's where I'm with Chuck. I
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: think if you go out, if you can get Polonko
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: to come back, that could be an opportunity. At third
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: It didn't work out this year, but it doesn't mean
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: it couldn't. He was recovering from an injury in spring training,
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: so he never really got off on a good foot there.
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: But at a minimum, he fills your dhrol like you
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: did this year, and then yeah, you can still kind
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: of tinker with that. See if you have any young
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: guys rise to the occasion. If not, then you still
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: have the trade deadline.
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: It's like it's kind of like on draft day for
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: the Seahawks, right like when the Hawks have like the
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: fifteenth pick in the draft or whatever, excuse me, and
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: we look at all these projected well, you can just
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: cross all those guys off because they're not taking any.
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: Of those guys.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: Right on draft day, all those projected first round here
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: is all those mocks. You know, whoever's got this guy
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: going fifth, team, that guy going fifteen, anybody between ten
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: and thirty, just cross them off. There's no way the
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: Hawks will get any of those guys. It'll be somebody
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: nobody's ever heard of, or they'll trade down. So you know,
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: you think about like Schwarber for example, that DH forget
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: about it, Kyle Tucker, forget about it. Even like Okamoto
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: at third or you know, Murakami. You know, I'd love
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: to know how much interest they have in those Japanese guys.
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: I mean, my god, I mean they've got, you know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: great connections obviously in their organization with Japan. So those
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: would be names that I would look at But I'm
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: kind of with you. I just feel like, just check, check, check.
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: There's no way they'll sign any of those guys. So
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: let's go down the list and see what kind of deals.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Like I would have loved to have Murakami. So I
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: don't rule it out, but I don't count on it either.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: All right, let's talk some dogs. They'll play UCLA this Saturday,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: actually a big ten rival, that's a.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Rival that we have a little bit of history with.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: Do you want to see history?
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Do you want to see Jonah Coleman or do you
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: want to see more of this Jordan Washington kid getting
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: the ball?
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean, look, I just think it's important for
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: these guys to figure out what the hell they're doing
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: on the road before the season ends. I mean, can
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: you imagine if the Huskies go on the road on
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: Saturday and get beat and look sloppy again, this is
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: going to be now two years with Jetfish where they
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: have not been able to figure out what the hell
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: they're doing away from Husky Stadium. Right, they would have
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: the one win over Wazoo and then they would have
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: the great second half against Maryland and that's pretty much
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: about it, right as far as the road goes, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: all they did the entire offseason talking about jet now
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: is talk about well, you know, we did all these
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: sleep studies, and we called doctor Coogler and we dealt
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: with the airlines and we figured out, you know, how
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: big are players' asses are, and how they fit in
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: the seats and should they all be first class seats?
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: And what kind of food are they eating?
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: And I called Mike McDonald and went on a camping
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: trip with him and we b lob it and nothing
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: worked right. So I think they got to figure this out, man,
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: because it's hard to take these guys seriously if.
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: They're not able to travel.
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: I mean, how can you take anybody seriously as even
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: a contender for any thing in the Big ten if
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: they don't show up on the road. So that number
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: one is for me on Saturday. Number two, they've lost
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: nine to ten against UCLA at the Rolls Ball ten
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: of eleven if you include the lost to Ohio State
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: and Dwayne Haskins and the actual Roles bawl six years ago.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: And then number three, yeah, I mean I'd love to
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: see Jordan Washington get a few more carries and see
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: what the kid can do. Because you think it would
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: get you excited about the future. But then you throw
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: in the idea that, well, the transfer portal, the coaching movement,
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: you know, back in the day, five even even five
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: years ago, right, Chuck, we could look at Jordan Washington
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: or any young player on any roster in college football
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: and say, well, we're not having a great year, but
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: at the very least we got a young core that's
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: all guaranteed to come back.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: We can't say that anymore. Yeah, I hate it, right,
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: I hate it. Man.
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: It's like, guys, can you imagine if the twenty twelve
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: Seahawk team was a college football team in twenty twenty
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: five and all those guys could leave, all his young
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: dudes that we were so fired up about after that
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: game with Atlanta. Man, they came so close to making
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: the NFC Championship, and then a bunch of guys take off.
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: So look, I mean, I'm not saying I'm spending the
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: entire you know, twenty four to seven thinking about it,
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: but there's gonna be movement, and depending on coaching changes,
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: there could be a lot of movements. So I think
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: right now I'm just focused on just trying to get
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: these guys to maybe eight or nine wins, and I
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: think that'd be a hell of an accomplishment after the
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: roster that Jed inherited when he got hired.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: How are you feeling about I mean, just the idea
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: of the health of the offense. I mean, we've seen
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: this offense explode and then we've seen it sputter at times,
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: typically when they're on the road, like you were talking about.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: But health wise, are they gonna be okay? Are they
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: gonna be able to go put up some numbers?
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah? I think Coleman, I think is gonna play Denzel.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: I don't know. Lannon.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: Hatchet's got a cast on his snapping hand that's got
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: to be figured out. So obviously they had some issues
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: with handing its center. As far as the shotgun snaps,
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: I mean, they're playing produced BUCkies, so they could get.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: Away with it.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: I mean they're awful, you know. I actually kind of
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: feel bad for him. They've lost like seventeen games in
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: a row and the Big Ten. They haven't won a
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: Big Ten games since the end of the twenty twenty
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: three season. And I don't know how much of a
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: different animal this will be. I mean, it will be different.
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: They're not playing obviously, you know, Ohio State or Georgia,
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: but they're playing a team that's got some talent. They
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: just have not been able to figure it out, kind
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: of like the Huskies have, and they're gonna be getting
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: a little bit of a break. Two of the last
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: three teams the Bruins have played have been the number
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: one and number two team in America in Indiana and
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: Ohio State. Right, So, just like Wisconsin a couple weeks ago,
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: you can kind of argue that maybe UCLA is getting
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: a little bit of a reprieve here against U Dubs.
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: So I think the spread's way too high. I'd probably
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: take the Bruins and the points if I were bet
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: in this game, which I'm not. Nico scares me just
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: because there's nobody really like him in the conference, and
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: I don't know if the Huskies have faced a quarterback
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: even close to him athletically.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: But yeah, I mean, weird stuff, man.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: Husky fans will tell you weird stuff happens down there
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: at the Rolls Bowl, just like he used to have
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: weird stuff happening at Stanford and Arizona State and Arizona.
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: So just the history of this place kind of creeps
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: me out.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Man. Those Stanford people are just weird.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: They are very very weird people. Yeah, not even actual humans,
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: like some other kind of category. Not sure what it is.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Let me use the last couple of minutes we got
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: here to ask you this because I'm very curious, you know,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: the man. When Sark goes on Texas radio and says,
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: I am I'm not going anywhere.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Stop spreading rumors. Do you believe him?
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: I do? I do believe them, Okay, I do, yeah,
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: because I.
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: Think that's I don't remember him saying anything like that
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: when he was at U Dub before he went to USC.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: And don't forget USC.
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: The guy's from California, right, I mean, just like Klein
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: de Borg going to Alabama.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: That sucks.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: But I think you get it. You know, like, all right,
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: you're going from U Dub to Alabama, and if you're
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: Steve Sarkisian, you're going to go coach back home at
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: USC right where you're from. So I think all that
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: makes sense. But yeah, I mean I think I think
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: Steve Starkeysan when he comes out and says I'm not
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: going anywhere.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: When Dan Lanning comes out and.
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: Says there's a zero percent chance of me leaving Oregon,
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: which I know, you know, gives Bucky, you know, a
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: little tingly feeling, right like hearing that, that's the kind
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: of stuff I kind of would like to hear Jed say,
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: to be honest with you, honestly, I mean, talks about
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: you know, all the players and how great they are,
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: and then like fourth or fifth on the list, it's oh,
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: we love Seattle, right, So I'd love to see him
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: be a little more adamant, hell even lie to me
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: for God's sakes, right, But yeah, no, I believe Sark
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: when he says that.
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: You believe him, I don't know.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know him as well as you. I don't
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: know if I believe anybody.
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: Well, that's exactly it. I think everybody in the end
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: is full of it, including us. You know, I don't
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: even trust him bother talking.
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: Oh you can trust me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: I think I can trust you.
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: And you say everybody's full of crap that that I trust?
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: I mean, but keeping I haven't worked directly with Sark
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: in how many years now, We're going back what ten years,
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: ten eleven years, so you know, I saw him a
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: little bit at the Sugar Bowl. Obviously, he's he's been
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: up and down with his life. I don't know if
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: you guys know that he actually married Malex Smith's sister
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: and they've been together now for a while. I think
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: they were gonna get divorced and got back together, but
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: went through his fight with alcoholism and very public and
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: all that stuff. But yeah, I believe him when he
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: says he's staying there.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll promote something. What do we got going
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: on on the program?
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: Today Show Today with Hockey, the black Hawks and Connor Badard.
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: No relation to Eric Badard coming up this afternoon at least,
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: I don't think they're related. Maybe like Eric Bard, Connor
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: Bodard is only going to play like two fifths.
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: Of the game to night against the cracket. That'd be nice.

  Speaker 4: Twenty years after you hit the scene with Destiny's Child.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well done.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Not as much as bucket when it comes to Factor Fiction.

• 20:27
  Speaker 6: Hey?

  Speaker 2: Noles?
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Probably not since twenty ten?
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: So what I'm gonna call her from?
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Knowles just decided, No, I'm going to go to the
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Noles concert tonight.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, are you guys going?
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: It's like, uh, meet you there?
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Factor Fiction now in three minutes. But I do want
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: to play this audio. I asked Softy about it. We
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: did spend time yesterday or I did on Reckless at
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Breakfast kind of calling Sark out Desmond Howard. He didn't
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: call Desmond Howard out. I'll tell you where they came from.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Desmond Howard did this video at his home where he
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: was taking out the garbage, and I guess he'd talked
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: to somebody that he felt was a great source, and
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: he revealed on a video that he put on obviously
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: social media, that Sark was not happy with Texas, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Texas wasn't happy with Sark, and that they were going
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: to part ways at the end of this season. So
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: we talked about it yesterday and I kind of carried
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: angrily this thought of if you're not happy at Texas,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: where are you going to be happy? If you don't
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: think that that's a destination job as a college football coach,
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: where on earth are you going to be happy? Well,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: we should be fair and play. Sark's response to the rumor.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: This was yesterday on Texas Radio.
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: I'd like to comment on something before I get into
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: our team, something that has been bothering me now over
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: the past few weeks, and that is people reporting or
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: insinuating there's a possibility I could lead the University of Texas,
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: and that is absolutely false and untrue. I'm not going anywhere.
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: Can we please stop putting things out there that you
• 22:05
  Speaker 9: have absolutely zero evidence on, And then can we please
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: stop retweeting, putting it back out there as if it's true,
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: as if it's the gospel. So moving forward, when some
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: Joe Blow decides to put something on social media out there,
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: we all don't run with it. Can we all agree
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: on that? And if you have a question about my
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: future with the University of Texas, ask me, ask Christelle Connie.
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: He'll be more than happy to take your call so
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: that we can sect the record street so we can
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: focus on our football team, which is really what we
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: should be doing.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Everybody good with that.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: It's a great response to it all. I'll say that
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Softy believes him.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I don't. After Kaitlin Debora, I'm not sure.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I would ever believe anybody U when it comes to this,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: And he has a little bit of history with it.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: I think there was a time where he went on
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: with Mitch right here on this radio station and said
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: something very similar to that before he left, like two
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: hours later to leave Washington. Now, Softy sort of explained,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: you know that he's okay with his deciding to go
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: to USC. But nonetheless, I mean, I mean, that's as
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: well as you can craft a response to rumors. And
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: yet I still don't believe him one hundred percent.
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: I don't believe one hundred percent. But I'm with you,
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: I don't know if we can in today's climb. And
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: I'll just say to me if if I mean it's
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: different because it's Texas to what you were talking about yesterday,
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: is like if if you can't, if the grass isn't
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: green enough on your side of the fence. When you're
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: the coach at Texas, What the heck are we? What
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: are we playing in here? What is this game? So
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: to me, it's when he comes out n adamantly he
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: says that it's like, Okay, I part of me can
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: believe it, because really, are you going up anywhere from Texas?
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: I mean, is there Isn't that a blue blood football program?
• 23:52
  Speaker 8: To me, that makes a little bit of sense.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: So maybe the NFL maybe, I mean that's where he's
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: been linked, is to the National Football League. But I
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: mean it's a great response. I'll just repeat if the man.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: It just feels like we're in this mode in college football.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Of boy, the grass is really green below my feet,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: but is that greener.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: Over what kind of green do they have there?
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you're not satisfied, I don't know who
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: would be. Let's play some factor fiction.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: Where's that to go?
• 24:19
  Speaker 10: Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: thousand bucks and the ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: factor fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: were every Day Feels Lucky.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Fact door fiction.
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: Is on sports Radio ninety three point three KJR FM,
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: pick it up.
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: Bugging well, I'll tell you what. I'll do my research
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: this morning, and you got to witness it. I got
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: really excited about one game and then realized I already
• 24:49
  Speaker 8: picked that one on Monday.
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: So now you're doubly excited about your Monday.
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: I'm not as doubly excited because but I still feel
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: pretty good about this one.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: What kind of it's I'm gonna take.
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: The Falcons over the Saints simply because I think the
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: Saints are not very good now. The Falcons just lost
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: Michael Pennix and Kirk Cousins didn't look great in his
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: filling in for him last week. But you just have
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: to hand the ball off to b Jean Robinson and
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: then when you do need to pass, just pass it
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: to him, you know what I mean, Just you know,
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: and then you have a you know, pits there tight end.
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: I think Drake London's gonna be out as well. But
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: I do think I think you have enough weapons to
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: beat a very bad.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: New Orleans Saints team.
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: So I'm gonna go ahead and take the Falcons minus
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: one and a half on the road at the New
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: Orleans Saints.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Factor fiction players already get angry when we double up
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: picks because they want to play two different games, not
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: the same game.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I can't even imagine if one person doubled.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: Up, what if you picked? What if you had picked
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: the opposite pick you made on.
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: But I guarantee I go one. I actually can't. They
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: could have tied and lost both of them.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah they could have.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: All right, So is it one and a half? One
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: and a half? Yep, and it's at New Orleans. It
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: is at New Orleans.
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, two one and a half point games this week?
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, right.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Bucky's saying, Hey, I know they're down to Pennix.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: I know they're down to London. I know they've been
• 26:05

• 27:15
  Speaker 3: we've already replayed some of the Jerry Depoto conversation. I
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: want to replay a little click from him in his
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: conversation with us yesterday that I found truly fascinating. It's
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: about the future of the MS right here on Sports
• 27:29

• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, have leadership, Yeah, you know, trying to provide that.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Every once in a while around here, and it's kind
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: of wh people into shape when you have to. So
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Greg Hugh eight o'clock this morning to talk about the
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Seahawks and the Titans. Maybe a little bit on the
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: rams from last week as well, and don't forget we're
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: playing Beat Bucky today at nine o'clock. Yesterday, perhaps the
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: highlight of the program. I think the highlight of the
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: program was the three of our charismas. Yeah, but nonetheless,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: we did have Jerry Depoto live on the program at
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: nine o'clock. He had a lot of good things to say.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Obviously very excited about Josh Naylor. He did kind of
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: map out an off season that I don't know if
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: he heard everything you wanted to hear about how aggressive
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: they're going to be in the off season again, kind
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: of doubling down on that they're kind of running it back,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: hopefully with the team that they finished last season with,
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: a team that they loved, and feels like they can
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: go over the top with this group. But there was
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: one thing at the end Bucky asked about the prospects
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: and who might be making an impact in twenty twenty
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: six that I found particularly interesting. I think you will too.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Here's Jerry talking about which one of these prospects from
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: their number one rated class could actually contribute to the
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: cause of winning a World Series in twenty twenty six.
• 29:22
  Speaker 11: You know, I think widely regarded as our top prospect
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: is Colt Emerson and finished last year in Tacoma at
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: the very end of the season, had a fabulous year.
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: He's just twenty years old and will play virtually all
• 29:34
  Speaker 11: of next year at twenty. He's a special player we
• 29:38
  Speaker 11: feel like has a chance to be foundational part of
• 29:41
  Speaker 11: what we do, and I would expect that whether it's
• 29:43
  Speaker 11: on opening Day or at some point next season, he
• 29:46
  Speaker 11: is a part of our mix, which is why you know,
• 29:49
  Speaker 11: you provide opportunity for those young players or avenues for
• 29:52
  Speaker 11: them to get those opportunities, and you know Colt will
• 29:55
  Speaker 11: be one of those players there are other players I'm
• 29:58
  Speaker 11: excited about who ma not show up in the big
• 30:02
  Speaker 11: leagues but are going to be pretty close. The guy
• 30:04
  Speaker 11: like Kate Anderson, who was the third pick in last
• 30:07
  Speaker 11: year's draft. We've not seen him pitch a professional inning yet,
• 30:10
  Speaker 11: so we're all eagerly anticipating seeing him in the spring
• 30:14
  Speaker 11: and watching his Mariner debut of sorts. I would love
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: to see what kind of progress we get from Jerangelo
• 30:22
  Speaker 11: sanj who ended last year in Double A. Obviously, the
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: switch pitch makes him famous, but what comes out of
• 30:28
  Speaker 11: his hand, especially as a right hand or, is pretty special,
• 30:31
  Speaker 11: and I think it's reasonable to believe that he could
• 30:34
  Speaker 11: show up as a contributor in the big leagues next year. Obviously,
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: some guys that touched the show for us last year,
• 30:41
  Speaker 11: like Cole Young and Ben Williamson and Logan Evans, we
• 30:44
  Speaker 11: feel like they will continue to play a role in
• 30:47
  Speaker 11: what we do, and we do have a fun system
• 30:50
  Speaker 11: to watch. It's whether it's the kids that are going
• 30:53
  Speaker 11: to start in a ball and Everett where the kids
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: that are going to.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Start in Tacoma.
• 30:57
  Speaker 11: I think no matter what level you go with our system,
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: you're going to find a player who has a chance
• 31:03
  Speaker 11: to play in All Star Games, which is exciting.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I found that very interesting too, especially the Emerson part.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Bucky.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, we went into last spring training, if you recall,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: and there was this name Cole Young that kept popping up,
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: and I think they really did have the idea of
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have to earn it, but if you show
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: us that you're the best second basement in the organization
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: right now, you can win a job right out of camp.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Now he didn't do that. He wasn't our starting opening
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: day second basement, but I think that they were going
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: to take the same approach with this ridiculously talented Colt Emerson.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: If you show us you're our best third baseman, then
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: we'll find we'll put you there. But he's really got
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: to prove it at spring training, and I doubt that
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: he will. I think I said this earlier this week.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: I think Ben Williamson probably gonna end up being our
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: starting third basement if not Gino, and with the idea
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: that Emerson can take that job from him at some
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: point during the year if Williamson's not performing, and then
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: eventually cold Emerson, who's rated the ninth prospect in all
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: of baseball right now will be our shortstop taking over
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: for JP I think next season at the beginning of
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: the year.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that is.
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: So you're looking at what's possible in spring training combined
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: with what they're hoping for long term. The best of
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: all worlds would be the dude shows up. I mean,
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: he looked like a beast last year for being eighteen
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: years old or whatever he was.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's put together.
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: The dude doesn't miss too many days in the gym,
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: and so he knows what is in front of him.
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: And yet the main objective is that's going to be
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: the dude playing shortstop after this season, yes, or possibly
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: in this season if something was to happen, or.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: We've got a lot of talent shortstops in our prospect
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: yeah you know group, Yeah, you got multiple guys.
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: This Celestian kid, he's not too terrible, be far behind that,
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: and so the only one can play. But you could
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: possibly be nice to have a couple of shortstops roman
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: both sides of the middle.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: But we'll see.
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: As of right now, I do think that its front
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: runner is Ben Williamson. I think there's a reason why
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: he was closer. He's he's not as young, but he's
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: not as talented with the stick by any stretch imagination.
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: I mean Colt Emerson last year in a very limited
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: time up in Triple A, I think when he played
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: in like sixty six games, but he raked. And so
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: to be that age and to hit the way that
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: he has coming out of high school, he's a talented individual.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: That's a big thing.
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: To end up being nineteen twenty years old and playing
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: in the big leagues, that's no joke. But I think
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: they're going to give them the opportunity. But ultimately he's
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: going to be the shortstop the air apparent there.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're usually like you're airing on the side
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: of caution. You don't want to put too much expectations
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: on a nineteen twenty twenty year old prospect. And for
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Jerry Depoto to say yesterday on November nineteenth, that there's
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: a very good chance he will be a part of
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: the twenty twenty sixth season, that's that's putting it out there. Yeah,
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: that is that is stepping forward right there.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: Exciting.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is exciting. Yeah, nobody wants him rushed, but
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: we also can't wait to see just how gifted this
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: young man is, and the only way to see that
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: is watching him play every day.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Coming up next, hear on the radio program It's our
