  Speaker 1: dark and early on Thursday morn.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: No Nnkei's on the case old.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Uh old butcher shop.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: It's actually a family of my high school girlfriend runs
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: the old Hermiston butcher shop called Follet Meats.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: That right, and they you almost married a butcher's butchers.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: Imagine your life if you were just living in.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: I saw that man every time I went over the
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: house because it's right beside their house and he come
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: wandering over with a like an apron on, just bloody
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: butcher knife in his hand. I'm not going to make
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: out with your girlfriend not near your home.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: On one hand, you are dating, or you're going to try
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and have relations with a young woman whose dad owns
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the sharpest cleavers in town. On the other hand, think
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: about all the meat you could have.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: That's all I was thinking of.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ma'am, you meat.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: Screwed this up. Yeah, I love Kate all that free
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: meat exactly.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Just keep your pants if once you're married, he's not
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: going to come after you with him.
• 4:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's been.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: All about it. Yeah, and then grandkids. More meat.
• 4:40
  Speaker 10: You would just have like seven meat fridges and freezers.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Uh huh having to lift a finger. Now look at you.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Now you got to go out on Thanksgiving morning and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: shoot a turkey? Did I make that up to.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Uh? You know I Actually it's just her. Her brother,
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: his son now runs the meat place, the butcher shop,
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: and he is smoking three.
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: Turkeys and sending them up to me.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Well, they're so good.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: We had one last year and I said, why do
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: we only have this smoke turkey once a year? And
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: so now we're gonna, we're gonna we're gonna use two
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: at Thanksgiving and then have one frozen, and probably, you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: a month later, we'll probably bust that one.
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: Out again Christmas. Yeah, that's a good time.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I love the uh I reading unto this. I love
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the fact that had you married his daughter, the butcher
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: would have sent you probably the biggest Thanksgiving turkey every
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: year that he had in the shop. Oh yeah, but
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I love it even more that because you didn't marry her,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: he thanks you by giving you three turkeys.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: Weaved her way, and thank you, thank you for now,
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: thank you for I think there's a really good chance
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: that had that relationship last, and I might be working
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: at the butcher shop.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Oh how would you affair it as a butcher?
• 6:06
  Speaker 9: I'd be as fine. Uh yeah, I would not have
• 6:08
  Speaker 9: liked it as much as I.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Like doing this. Yeah I know that.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, slaughtering animals, I mean I don't get nearly.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: As bloody doing that as you do this. Yeah I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: know that much.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah that is true.
• 6:21
  Speaker 9: This is way more gory.
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 6:24
  Speaker 10: I'm thinking about as the meat sticks I left in
• 6:26
  Speaker 10: my car and how I should have brought them up here.
• 6:28
  Speaker 9: Oh oh, they make the best pepperoni.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Is that all you've done for Thanksgiving? Five iron?
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Will you please carve the meat stick? No, there would
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: be some dark meat, you know how much I like dark.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: I only have three meat six left. We won't to
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: have any for Thanksgiving be gone.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I'm worried about you. You are usually better prepared than this.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: You are what this sound. Let this warning ring in
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: your ears, Ryan, that you've got seven days to get
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: this thing together, and you do not want to be
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: shopping while all the latecomers, Johnny come laser shopping.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: And that's what I'm saying. You are right.
• 7:02
  Speaker 10: I am worried like and I, of all of us,
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: I should not be unprepared because I start like I
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: host a Christmas music station that started on November first.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: Oh wow, So I have no excuse for not knowing.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: I do a countdown to Thanksgiving and Christmas every darn day.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: I know how far away it is. I've even talked.
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: I've been looking upside dish recipes and things. I don't
• 7:23
  Speaker 10: know why, because I never go, I never veer. I
• 7:25
  Speaker 10: know exactly what I'm going to end up making. I
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: just haven't planned any of it yet.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And you are also a woman, which we men rely
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: on very heavily to be responsible because it allows us
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: not to be.
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: Maybe some that might be one of your guys's dumber decisions.
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: Actually, you guys think we've got it all together or
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: are supposed to you? Oh man, yeah, we do.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Well. I don't know I would get cracking. I I
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: think I will seven days.
• 7:52
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but I got friends Giving before that. I got
• 7:54
  Speaker 10: to come up with what I'm bringing.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: On Saturday, Devil Thanks.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I do friends give? Oh yeah, is that like you
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: just get together and watch friends or you know.
• 8:05
  Speaker 10: You're out a friend's house with like thirty friends. I
• 8:08
  Speaker 10: think I'm going to bring bowlonnais.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Oh that's the that's that discussion.
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think I'm gonna bring bolonnais because everyone else
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: swooped up all the other side dishes, So why not
• 8:16
  Speaker 10: bring something?
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: Why not put a twist in Thanksgiving? Surprise everything.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I think you're going to end up being the hit
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: for that idea. I think that maybe the Turkey gods,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving gods may mock you, but you know, you know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you'll be sitting back there with a smile on your
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: face as your dish is the first one empty.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, I'll take that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:35
  Speaker 10: And the nice thing is and then I'll probably if
• 8:37
  Speaker 10: I save some at home after I make it, then
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: we can have dinner for the next night.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: And I ain't got to cook.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Just went out to dinner last night with a you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and and gotten to know the staff at this particular
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: place a little bit. And so, uh, there's a husband
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: wife team that works there together. One's a bartender, one's
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the server, and they're doing their Thanksgiving and they're doing ribs.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Oh see, yeah, they're doing just ribs, ribs and beer.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: We do beef tenderlin every year for Thanksgiving. Yeah, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: she's a former chef, so she's making side dishes. And
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I'm like that sounds like an amazing thing right there.
• 9:11
  Speaker 10: Because people don't really care if there's turkey on the
• 9:14
  Speaker 10: table usually, yeah, just some of us do.
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah turkey I too.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. I don't want to trust.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: First of all, I don't want to put that on.
• 9:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm the only one that would eat it, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 10: nobody else cares about it, so I just don't make it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, and if you do, screw it up, boy,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you you really Turkey's not.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: Good as a lot easier to cook a tender loin.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: That's the beauty of this one is you get it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: It's as you already cook, just ye warm it up. Yeah,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: and you can even Yeah I.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: Didn't almost marry a butcher's daughter though, Well.
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: The connection should have you messed up on that one.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: You can like debone it beforehand while it's cold, because
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: that's the hard Part's like, you know, when it's hot
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: and you're burning your fingers try to get it all
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: carved up. You can do it beforehand and then just
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: throw that in and just warm it up. And oh,
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: I just love the leftover spart too. Basically, yeah, I'm
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: gonna basically have turkey from now through like two weeks
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: after Christmas.
• 10:09
  Speaker 10: Okay, I'm not, but I did see something that there's
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: a new sauce that's like leftover gravy that you can
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: use for your left your day after turkey sandwich.
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: It's like a squeezable gravy.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, I don't know.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: Might be good?
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Might be? I would imagine it's not very good for you.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Probably is it called heart attack?
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: That's that's what they call good for you?
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: But who cares?
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: All right, well, anyway, this let this serve as a
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: warning to you all. We are just still one week
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: away from actual Thanksgiving Day. And despite the fact that
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I am prepared, that was actually kind of as I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: was thinking about that this morning, like wow, one week
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: away from Thanksgiving.
• 10:53
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And football of course a huge part about that. And
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and for some people, you know, I think back to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Draftmas as we get close here to Thanksgiving, as we
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: get ready for Seahawks Titans this week, and how cam
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Ward kind of overtook Remember remember remember last Draftmas when
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: when cam Ward and Shador Sanders were once in a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: conversation about who's going to be the number one overall pick?
• 11:27
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: And then we finally got to draft Day and cam
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Ward was the number one pick and Shador Sanders slips
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: all the way to the fifth round. Well, for the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: first time, they're going to be starting on the same
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: day of the National Football League. We'll be facing cam
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Ward the number one pick out of Miami slash Washington State,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and Shadoor Sanders makes his debut as a starter out
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of complete necessity. It just goes to show you in
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the National Football League, my goodness, I mean, remember way
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: back at the beginning of the year. It's a dream
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: within a dream. I like this, remember the beginning of
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the year when the Browns like, what are they gonna
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: do with all those quarterbacks? They've got five of them
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: on the roster and the fifth one is going to
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: start this week because everybody else has been injured or traded,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and so you, I guess you can't have enough quarterbacks.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: But Shador Sanders is finally going to get his start
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League, and I'm I'm actually so
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: happy about it, Like, let's see what the kid can play,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: because I don't know if I have ever come across
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: a prospect that has created more polarizing analysis than Shador Sanders.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: The people that believe in him are so angry of
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the way he's been treated and he hasn't been allowed
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: to play to this point, and the people that hate
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: him are so angry about his attitude and his preparation
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and the fact that he thought that he should just
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: be ushered to the front of the line. I like
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to believe that I'm somewhere in the middle, but I
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: am feeling like I am one of the few. It
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: feels like you just are either angry at Shador and
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: want to see him crash and burn, or you're on
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the other side and you think that it's undoubtedly he's
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the best quarterback in this class, and he's been screwed
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: over by Cleveland and Stefanski and they've totally botched this
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and the league's conspiring against the Sanders family. Hey, it
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: is really extreme, and so finally we're gonna get some
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: evidence as to whether or not this guy can play
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: at the professional level. Yeah.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, and I gave, you know, basically kind of
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: throw away the fact how we played last week when
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: he hasn't had any reps to really work with people.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: When he gets to come in, so you know, he
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: throws a pick and it didn't look good necessarily, But
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: now he's gonna have a week and I just think
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: it still should be tempered to some degree. I think
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: those that I suppose if you're on that end of
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: the spectrum where you think he's the greatest and he's
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: been screwed and everybody's conspiring against him, well then you
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: kind of got to stand on business and expect him
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: to go out there and just turn around the Cleveland
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: Browns offense.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Well, those are the same people that think dude wise,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel, look at him. He's out there and he's terrible,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: and he's like, well, he's gonna be playing with the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: same grip that Shador is going. So that's what I'm
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: saying this is, I don't hold anything against him last
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: week because that was I gotta check in. I didn't
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: practice with the ones as my first start ever. I mean,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: we have a bad team. But this week you actually
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: do get to compare Shadoor Sanders at least against Dylan Gabriel.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: And so for those that were critical of Dylan Gabriel
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: this entire time, and he shouldn't be starting, well, to
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: save your face, not Chadors, but to save your face,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: he better be damn good on.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: Sunday against the Raiders. Yeah, and good luck, because you're right,
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: I don't think you get to switch out. I don't
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: think he gets to bring, you know, pick, choose some
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: players he wants to surround himself with. You get the
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: same group of dudes that have only found a way
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: to win two games this season, And so.
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: I mean I'm interested.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: I mean I would say that because of all of
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: the hoop law that surrounded from Draft miss, which basically
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: kicked it off until now the rise and fall during
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: the draft, and then all of a sudden, the weirdness
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: that was the Cleveland Browns and the fact that they
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: took two quarterbacks in the draft and have old guys
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: in front of them and they're trading dudes and just
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: all everything that they did at that position to now
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: find yourself with seven games left, and I mean I
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: was thinking to myself, like, how are you even going
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: to find out who, if any of these guys are
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: the guys right? Because they were going to be so
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: far down on the depth chart and yet now you're
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: finding out No. Not, I mean, it's not like you're
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: getting to all right, we got two games left in
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: the season, we're out of it. We just got to
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: see what shouduor Sanders can do. I mean Shoudouer Sanders
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: for him. To me, I would think this is the
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: way you would have painted it once the draft went
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: the way that it went. This is the way you
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: would have kind of hoped, not that you're hoping for
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: injuries necessarily, but this is the way you would have
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: drawn it up as all right, Well, hopefully I get
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: my opportunity, Hopefully it's with enough time left in the
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: season to where if I go out there and I
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: just show you, guys all made a mistake the NFL,
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: you made a mistake letting me slip to the fifth round,
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: then all of a sudden you get to kind of
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: rewrite whatever your story is. So here's your opportunity, kid,
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: good luck because you don't have a great team around you.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: But he can still walk there and play well enough
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: to say this is my job.
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, definitely intrigued to watch it, and I'm I think
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: I am with you.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: I don't hate him, I don't love him.
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah, so that's what I'm saying, I'm with you, kind
• 16:38
  Speaker 10: of in that middle ground, yep, where yeah, I've been
• 16:41
  Speaker 10: consistent with that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:42
  Speaker 10: Well, I'm intrigued and I want to see. I mean,
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: first of all, I don't want anyone. I don't want
• 16:46
  Speaker 10: most people to fail. I don't want to say I
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: don't want anyone to fail. There are some people I
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: want to fail, but I don't want him to fail
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: by any means. And so if he could come out
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: and do what and be successful after being the fifth
• 16:58
  Speaker 10: round pick, and you know, having all of that, which
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: I would assume or hope humbled him a little bit
• 17:03
  Speaker 10: because that was the My main issue with him is
• 17:06
  Speaker 10: you're acting like you've been there before and you haven't.
• 17:09
  Speaker 10: And he got slapped down for yeah exactly. So I
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: I mean, we've heard about in training camp that his death.
• 17:15
  Speaker 10: He was like, no, Dad, I don't want you to
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: come here, like I got to do this on my own.
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: So I think he's in a better place. So I
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: am intrigued to see how he does.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I to me, I mean, considering how this
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: much this has been discussed, and it has been discussed
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: way too much for a guy fourth on the depth
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: chart at the beginning of training camp, entirely too much.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I don't even understand what the big argument about is about.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: It's really very clear Trador Sanders was not viewed by
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: teams as a no doubt face of the franchise first
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: round draft pick. You know, pour ourselves into this. He wasn't.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: The NFL didn't evaluate him that way. So if you
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: are an NFL evaluator, if you're a draft evaluator, you
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: missed on this one. So the milk Kuipers of the
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: world just need to own it. Hugh Millen came on
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: our show during Draft mess. He had it nailed. I
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: just don't see a first round draft pick. But he
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: also didn't see a fifth round draft. He was expecting
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: should order to go certainly on day number two and
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: probably earlier than later. And so the fact that he
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: slipped to the fifth is because of all the things
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: that you said. We can't have somebody that came into
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the league blew off interviews, thinks he's entitled to the position.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: You know, has monogram pillows, when he hasn't even completed
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: a pass, and we're going to put him in a
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: backup role because that's a distraction. And so he went
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: from you're not good enough for us to take you
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: with a first round pick because we just don't convince
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: that you got face of the franchise. I mean, you
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: might have them, but we just aren't convinced you've got
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: face of the franchise kind of stuff to your game.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: And yet there's no way he was as bad as
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a fifth round pick. He suffered that indignity because of
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: the way that he treated the process, and that team's thought,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I don't want him as a backup either, because backup,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I don't need my backup to be a distraction. And
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: he's been a distraction. He's been nothing but a distraction
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: through no fault of his own, really, or for through
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: little fault of his own since he got to Cleveland.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: So I think it's a very clear case, and I
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: don't know why there's the anger on both sides. I
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: think you're both wrong, Frankly and us here in the middle,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I think have the better grasp of it. All right,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: let's find out what's on tap for the rest of
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the show. What's on TEP?
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: What's on TEP?
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: All right, Seahawks Titans this Sunday at ten am. Twelfth
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Man Round Table comes your way today from eight to nine,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: so an hour with Greg and Hughes will break it
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: all down for you. The week in the National Football
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: League starts tonight Buffalo Bills taking on the Houston te
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: CJ Stroud missing another game for the Houston Texans. There
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: have battled back to five hundred, but they still have
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: a ways to go to become a playoff team. Mike
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Sande will join us today at nine point thirty to
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: discuss it. We'll also discuss with him Joe Burrow, who
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: might start this week for the Cincinnati Bengals. As a
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: matter of fact, it feels like he's going to start
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: this week for the National Football League. He wasn't just
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: a participant in practice yesterday, he was a full participant
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: in practice yesterday. And Joe Flacco actually might be the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: more injured of the two quarterbacks. So Joe Burrow might
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: start this week for the Cincinnati Bengals. College football soft
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: field drop by at seven oh five, we'll talk Huskies
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: in UCLA. Krackner in Chicago today to take on another
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: baby face superstar in the National Hockey League, Connor Badard,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the red Hot Connor Badard and the Chicago Blackhawks and
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the stove. Well, it is already a cooking. Another trade,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: not all that significant last night, but significant enough that
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: we're starting to get like a move a day in
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, which is a boy. It's like gluttony.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: We don't get this much hot stove activity this early
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: in the process, not in the modern day.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: So the Thanksgiving feasts, I'm loving it.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: And yesterday on the program, Jerry Depoto was our guest
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: in the nine o'clock hour. If you missed it, we're
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: going to replace some of it for you next on
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM talk about show
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: presented by Talala Resort Casino, the Talala Resort Casino DraftKings
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Sports Book where the action never stops. Get in on
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: the action and bet on your favorite sporting event at
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the DraftKings Sports Book at both Talala Presort Casino and
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Quilcita Creek Casino, where the action never stops. Kind of
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: like the Lucky and nuckye program, where the action never
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: does stop.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: They say, that's that's the.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Bag line of that show. Hell of a show. Not
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: to send you racing over to listen to it. Chuck
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: buck Ashley with you here on this Thursday. A lot
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: coming your way today, some Factor fiction, some Beat Bucky Today,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and more. But yesterday on our program, we were visited
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: by Jerry Depoto, president of baseball operations for the Seattle Mariners.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: He joined us for a lengthy conversation at nine o'clock.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: But you early risers may not have heard any of it,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: and so we're going to do you a solid and
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: replace some of it for you, just in case you
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: missed it. Of course, this comes on the heel of
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Josh Naylor the announcement that he is staying a Seattle
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Mariner for the next five years at a cool ninety
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: two and a half million dollars over that stretch of time.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Right now, the organization seems to be writing a little
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: bit of a hot streak, and so it was good
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: to sit down yesterday and chat with Jerry, and we
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: certainly talked about Josh Naylor. We'll pick up the conversation
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: where Bucky asked Jerry Depoto how much of Naylor's character,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the grit, that team mentality came into the decision to
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: keep him a Mariner.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: It's recon it's picking up the phone. It's calling people
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: who've played with him that you may have connection to.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: It's asking our players what they think. It's it's visiting
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: with you know, in this case, probably not super helpful,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: visiting with the team he's currently playing for, because I
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: don't know how you know, reasonable you're going to get
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: you a description. But the guy's in Arizona. We're of
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: a particularly close relationship with Mike Hazen and Amil Sade
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: and and you know, Tory Lavulo and his crew are
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: are good with our people, and they had nothing but
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: great thing to say about Josh, and more importantly, his
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: time in Cleveland. He was there a long time. You know,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: we also have good relationships with the people there, and
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: and we're able to kind of get a better look
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: under the hood at what Josh was about. But even
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: just on the surface, the things that attracted us to
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: him in the first place, where is it intensity? The
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: IQ which if you watch him play, you know, for
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: any more than a day or two, it just jumps
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: out at you. And you know, we needed a player
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: who brought a little edge, and we got so much
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: more than the edge. You know, what he does in
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: terms of lifting teammates, you know, baseball education in the clubhouse.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: It's he eats it and sleeps it and drinks it
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: and he can talk it. And his teammates respect him
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: because of what he puts into it and how much
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: he puts out. You know, it's a the effort level
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: is extreme and he never lets up. I think the
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: way he would like to be, you know, classified as
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: a player, I think is just as a winner. And
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: and I could not agree more with that description of Josh.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: He's he just brings it every day.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Got great fancy shoes to Jerry Depoto. American baseball player
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: is with us here on Chuck and Buck in the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: morning Sports Radio ninety three point three k a r FM. Well,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people think that. I mean,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: you've announced it that our priorities is try to keep
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: some of the guys that are our own that are
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: entering into free agency. I've been operating under the belief
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: that that's probably Naylor and then Polonco or Sworez. But
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: justin kind of said yesterday that maybe it's Polanco and Sworez.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, what kind of chance are you going to
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: give us that all three of those guys will be
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: back in Mariner uniforms next year?
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Well, a lot has to go right, you know, frankly
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: for that to happen, and you know, including markets and
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: trends and forces working in our favor. But we would
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: love them all to be back. And you know, at
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: various stages in our season, each one of those guys
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: you could prop up as a hero. And you know,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: and I do think from beginning to end, Jorge Polanco's
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: season press was really super under and you know, obviously
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: the big hits in the postseason and and you know,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: the things that he did in October were notable. But
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: you know, from from really opening day on one of
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: the most consistent offensive players we had all year long.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: High contact. Didn't punch, it was he provided power. It
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: was about as well balanced left and right as you
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: could be. And he proved very good at handling the dhrol,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: which isn't something a lot of guys naturally gravitate toward.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: And you know, while Gino didn't hit for a high
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: average after we acquired him at the deadline, we know
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: what Geno brings and he did deliver the pop and
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: more importantly, he delivers leadership and he brings people together.
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: But again a lot of things would have to go
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: right for us to keep the whole band together. But
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: we're going to do our best to make sure well,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: just to make sure we continue to grow and get
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: better as a team, regardless of whod blocks in the door.
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: Next.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Jerry Depoto, President of Baseball Operations. It's a twenty minute conversation.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: If you want to check it out, do so at
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: our website three three kjr dot com. You can just
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: download the entire podcast listen to the entire four hour
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: show yesterday if you want. But if you want to
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: isolate Jerry's conversation, I think it's well worth checking into
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: We covered a lot of ground, but let's start where
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: we finished that little segment, and that is with Polanco
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: and Suarez. I mean, it's a nice idea. I would
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: like it. Obviously, this is an organization that has a
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: bit of a self imposed salary cap, even though there's
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: not one in Major League Baseball. After Justin said that
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: all three guys, bringing all three guys back is something
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: that thereafter that was a bit encouraging. But I don't
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: feel encouraged that we're gonna bring them all back based
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: off of that response we got from Jerry yesterday. When
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: when an executive says a whole lot's going to have
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: to go right for that to happen, I kind of
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: am gonna go back to what I felt initially coming
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: out of the season. I think we're gonna end up
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: with two of those three guys, and I think I'd
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: be happy with that.
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so too. I mean, the idea that
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: they're not closing the door on it, well, that's good.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: I mean I'm not against that. At the same time,
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, when you start saying a lot of things
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: would have to work in our favor with markets, So
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: that's talking about like what other people are willing to
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: play pay for Gino and Polonko and trends, and I mean, yeah,
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: he's I think he pretty much painted as yeah, it's
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: a long shot to get all three of them, and
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: yet that's fine. I mean, I don't think you necessarily
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: have to do Gino. You don't have to do Polonco either,
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: but if you don't, then that is a place you
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: have to address elsewhere. It just as a matter of
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: how much is he going to ask for? You know,
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: he turned down the six million dollars or whatever, the
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: basically the player option that he would have had after
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: this year. That was basically a way of saying, hey,
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: if you come in and you rebound to some extent
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: from your poor twenty twenty four, we'll give you another
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: chance to do it again. But if you if you
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: basically if you come in and do what he did,
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: which is have a really really good season and it
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: was somewhat under the radar, I think for a lot
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: of people, then you can walk and go get more
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: money somewhere else and hopefully they're really willing to pony
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: up to bring him back.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Some of the other headlines that I probably should highlight
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: he did hint at getting a proven relief pitcher, a
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: little more proven of a relief pitcher. I did ask
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: him point blank about whether or not he's going to
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: move high salaried players in order to create salary to
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: maybe invest in a new face or two. He sort
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: of shot that completely down by saying, well, you're not
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: really running it back if you don't run it back.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Was kind of what he said as I was hinting
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: about maybe Luis Castillo trade this offseason. I think that
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: I did get the impression, or at least to me,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: it got my own opinion of what's going to happen
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: this offseason. I felt got validated. I don't expect a
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: lot of new faces this offseason. This is about trying
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: to retain as many guys as they can from the
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: team that they loved at the end of last year.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: But I also got the impression that he did not
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: rule out a surprise or two this offseason as well.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: And Jerry's act always been good for that sort of thing.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be a very fascinating offseason. It's
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: already better than last year's offseason. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: not even a Thanksgiving and.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: We're already happy.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're already happy. I mean, Josh Naylor is going
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: to be back, and that was certainly the biggest item.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: That was the turkey on the table of our off
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: season feast aor ry coming up next. Do we have
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: a major, minor, or no problem at all at guard?
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Here for the Seahawks Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: All right, Sophy joins us today at seven oh five,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: which is usually Greg Bell's spot, So I'll have to
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: wait till eight o'clock this morning for our roundtable with
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millen to learn about the latest from Grey's Abel.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Get some jury updates from our Seahawks insider at eight
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: o'clock today. The rookie left guard who was not allowed
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: to sack this year, hell might even end up in
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl the way he's going this season. Of course,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: it looked very bad on Sunday against the Rams, him
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: going down on the field, and you did at the
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: moment kind of fear the worst, not just fear the worst,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: but I kind of suspected the worst. But we got
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: good news after the testing revealed that the damage was
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: not as bad, not nearly as bad as what it
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: looked like on the field, and we haven't got much
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: news since that time. He did not practice. He was
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: held out of practice recently and is their most recent practice.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: So we don't know if Gray's Abel is going to
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: be able to start at left guard against the Tennessee
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Titans or not. And if he doesn't, man, I mean,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: you're looking at a really big guard issue. Because I'm
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: going to tell you something, I don't know how they've
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: masked it so well. Anthony Bradford's been a disaster on
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: the right side. And if you have to now start
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Christian Haynes, which sounds like is the backup to Gray's Abel,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: who couldn't even beat out Bradford at right guard, what
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: kind of what kind of holes Sam Donald gonna have
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: to operate behind? And as bad as the Tennessee Titans are,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons ain't bad. That's one of the baddest man
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: men on the planet. And I don't want that guy
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: wrecking crap on Sunday in a game that we're supposed
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: to win by two touchdowns.
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it could be a problem.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, you did that's one of the you know,
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: you just figure that the ripple effect if all of
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: a sudden, Simmons is able to push back one or
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: even two guys up the middle, and he's always in
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: Sam Donald's face. Now all of a sudden, I mean
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: it's something that the secondary gets the feed off of.
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: If all of a sudden they start recognizing, Wow, they
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: can't stop our dude from coming right up the middle.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: I'm with you. I mean, it's uh, I've been saying it, well,
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: everybody's been saying it about Bradford, but I mean it's
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: it's his numbers are so I mean, it's pass blocking numbers.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Especially the videos that have been going around this week
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: about how lost he looked against the Rams, just getting
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: blown past and just like blocking air, it's lost.
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: Oh, I've actually seen a couple of the like Baldi,
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Brian Baldinger breakdowns about him that are good And I'm like, well,
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: I didn't see that play that was must have been
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: paying attention. Yeah, did you make that up?
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: Baldinger.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: But I mean, I again, I don't trust the PFF rankings,
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: but you know, Hugh kind of explains how they started
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: like sixty right and then you go up and down.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, Bradford's had a couple of games whereas pass
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: blocking is zero like zero, like, well, how do you
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: that means? Like thirty different times and you basically did
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: nothing right the entire time. I think that's where the
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: videos that you're talking about come from. That said, I mean,
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: he he grades out right around average or adequate, right
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: around sixty as far as his run blocking goes, but
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: he is bad, bad, And on the flip side, it's
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: actually the grades for grays Abel aren't all that stellar
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: in the run game, but they're unbelievable they're great in
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: the passing game. So if maybe that's how they've kind
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: of finagled this thing where they try to run behind
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: Bradford and then watch out for whoever's over him in
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: passing situations and and try to you know, if they
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: if they know that they're not going to get through
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: greys Abel as a pass rush, but maybe you can't
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: run that direction as much. I'm not sure how they're
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: doing it, but they have they found a way because
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: I think Bradford is a hole.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and if if he's a hole, then his
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: then whoever's backing him up must Yeah, and we're without
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Sundell at center, Timmy, Yeah, going with Ola with Timmy
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: and so I mean, just to leave a big, giant
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: gate in the middle of your offensive line when things
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: had been going so well. I mean, it's just this
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: is really important, even against the lowly Titans, that Gray's
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: abel plays this week. Not only am I not sitting
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: him out, I think it's important that he does play
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: in this game. I suppose if you are going to
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: miss a week with three guys out in the middle
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: of your offensive line, I guess you are facing the
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: right NFL team to do so, even though they do
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: have a legit crap wrecker in Jeffrey Simmons to steal
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: a Curtis Crabtree phrase and then the other thing. And
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I am going to ask Greg about this at eight o'clock.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: I know that they signed Josh Jones as a backup
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: tackle this offseason, but he looked really good in preseason,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: like really good, like should we be playing Josh Jones good?
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: And I gotta believe he's got to have some guard
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: in him. He's got to be able to slide inside.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe not, but we'll ask Greg Bell about that at
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: eight o'clock. I mean, if things look that bleak that
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: you're starting Christian Haynes who you just sort of gave
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: up on earlier this season. I wonder if a veteran
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: like Josh Jones could slide from tackle into guard. So
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: we'll talk with Greg and Hugh about that situation coming
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: up at eight o'clock today. Coming up next, though Headlines
• 36:17
