• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and how many strokes would you have to give Bucky
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in order for him to beat here.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: My golf team is up and down, and I don't
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: take it very serious. I can shoot a couple of
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: the far one day and then it's stayed over, you know.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I have good days. Yeah. Well no, He,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: on the other hand, needs a lot of balls.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Wait, hey, hey, hey, okay, now listen, now, listen, okay.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: My game is not up and down. It is down
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and more down. So that's that's the fact of the matter.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: But let's not forget when we did have our bet
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: at your golf tournament. My team won and you had
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: to sing its raining men on the boat right back.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: That is true.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: That is true, and it sounded great.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: It does not. I don't even like that song.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: So uh, det la Trump is with us right here
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: on Chuck and Buck in the morning. Some Uh, let's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: start with since I've already mentioned it, what was it
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: like the honor to have your number retired at your
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: alma mater?
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: That was incredible, you know, one honor, you know, seeing
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: your name up there and the rafters at a place
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: that you know, I fell in love with a long
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: time ago, and I'm still very close to. So it's
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: uh something you don't really think about it growing up
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: as you know, that's something like that happened. So yeah,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I'm extremely honored and it was a fun day.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: It was a long day that a funday well deserved debt,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I mean for real and and long time coming. So
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: congrats on that. I'm with you.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: How are you feeling right now just about I mean
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the prestige, the the the Husky basketball program, and yet
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: it's definitely not where anybody, and I'm a mater, any
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: alumni would want it to be.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we have, We're gone through some struggles, you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: with the way college sports is right now. I think
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: it's it's I don't know what it is. Obviously, some
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: teams are staying very competitive. We have not been there.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: We have not gotten over that that hum you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: with having I think numbers are seven and that's how
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: many new players for pat the last three years, and
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: you know, just buying players on the portal every basically
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: what it comes down to, I think it's really hard
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: to create a culture, and I think Husky culture has
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: always been on one of the team of you know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: really finding into the the school and the area staying
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: your long term, and I think we're kind of losing
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: that right now.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Dyl Trump is with us.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Hein Steinbach had a tremendous year as a freshman. What
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: is it about the connection? Why do German players flourish
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: in Seattle?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Washington?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Is at our craft beer? What's this? What's the secret
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: behind all of that?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: No? Actually I don't know. Obviously when I came in
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: with my accident and since I had quite a few
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: our good players come our way. And I think he's
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: he's tremendous. You know, the way he carried himself, he
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: was used to winning a lot. Coming in a program
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: where you know you don't it's it's tough. But I
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: think he had a great attitude. He was very supportive
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: of its whole team. He works, he works as were off.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: And I think he's extremely talented. He's he's growing, being long,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I got long arms, huge hands. It is pretty smart,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: understands the game together a great basketball like you and
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I think a long and get better.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Is he going to stay here? Is it going to
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: go to the draft? Do you have any insight?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm found that I put myself in that
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: situation where if I'm a top ten take yeah, you know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: do I want to do that? Versus coming back and
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: some uncertainty where you know, am I I have a
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: better team next year? How are we going to be
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: competitive or or not? So it's a tough one. It
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: would be interesting to see what family decides.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Legendary dead look triump with us here on Chuck and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Buck in the Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three k.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: J R f M.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Certainly also as a former Seahawk and or Sonic, I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: should say, and somebody that wants the Sonics back, you
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: may have been very public about that. I want to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: get your reaction to the news this past week. I mean,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I'm interpreting it as great news that the NBA Board
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of Governors is going to sit down next Tuesday, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's going to be a formality to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: vote through to the next process and all of this.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: But I want to see how you have interpreted this
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: news yourself.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate your positivity here, and I've seen Adam
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Silver for you know, last ten years at All Star Game,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Summer leagues, wherever, at some events, and you know, I
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: was telling me the same thing. I know, I know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I know what you're going to say, Yes, we will
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: have a team in t A hond Anya. Basically the
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: last five year, five years I've told them. You know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: you've been telling me that's for ten years, you know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: And I know it's probably tired of being asked that question.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I'm just let's not get you my hopes, because you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: the year before that said something similar to that they're
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: going to put a community together or are they going
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: to think about putting a committee together? The year before
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: they thought about they're going to do the housis if
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: it makes sense financially. There's always something that's the same
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: message that they're looking at it. If it comes to
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: an official vote, I think that would be uh, you know, welcome.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: So you know, I still don't believe that. But if
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: the vote, I think we have a chance. And until
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: they officially vote, I don't think anything really matters. If
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: it's a counter vote, and maybe maybe will have a chance.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean it feels like I hear you
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and and I understand the reservations just simply because I
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: mean how many times you personally have actually seen him
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: and him say oh no, we're going to do it,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: and then you know, a decade plus goes on and
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: you still haven't done it, So it's like, well, can
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: you just go ahead and do it? Then could stop
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: blowing smoke. But do you at least feel like this
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: initial vote it is going to take place next Tuesday
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and Wednesday, where the owners are getting together and they're
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: at least going to say all right, yes or no,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: that we will look at bidders that maybe have to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: come up with seven or ten billion dollars, which that
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: could be a stopping point or a hurdle that they're
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: obviously going to have to overcome. But does it feel
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: at least like you're closer than where we've been over
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the last ten fifteen years that you've been hearing this stuff. Yeah.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: I think you know, any any business anything, or any
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: professional leaguement that wants to grow and figure out how
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: to how to expand how to capture more of the market.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: You know, they're in being is talking about doing NBA Europe,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: you know, which has its challenges. They you know, they've
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: been working on spending in the Middle East for a
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: lot of the money that was coming from and you know,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: doing academies and basketball schools and such, and that's that's
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: kind of on plause right now. So it's interesting to
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: see where they will allocate their resources, people money, you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: with two new teams, Yes, the promise of all the
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: other teams get in the chunk of that franchise money
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: and you know, making people hole sounds good. But I
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: think then, you know, we also have the challenge of
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: is it really worth buying a franchise for that kind
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: of money? You know, it will take another person that's
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: very wealthy who has that kind of you know, I
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: don't care money to just say, you know, yeah, I'm
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: an owner. Putting an investor groups together for it is
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: very difficult, I think, because you know, if you're servicing
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: that it's it's going to be a losing battle for
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: years to come. So I don't know. I mean, I'm
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: optimistic that if it comes to a vote, Seattle is
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: definitely on that of that market, you know, there the
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: top of the line, the top of the list, or
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: whatever you call it. I just hope we get to
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: vote first, and then the strutter will be trying to
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: find an owner. Have you the list to right the
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: eight billion dollars?
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt about it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Have you reached the point of having I don't care
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: money yet, have you not deprived of me?
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I don't have I don't kill money of buying a
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: certain cigar, Yes.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Sir, I already said I'll chip in five bucks. That's
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: not all I can come up with, but I got
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: five on it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Debt. Well, you can be probably that that that small
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: investors sleeve, that that you know will own some of
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: the top growing in the building. You can walk can
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: call yourselve and oger.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: That's right, that's great. That's my piece of popcorn and
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I bought that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Is whether it's right here on Chuck and Buck in
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the morning. Well, I mean, it's been twenty almost twenty
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: years since the Sonics have been here.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: The game's changed a lot.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Where How does Dedla Shrimp even feel about the NBA
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: game today?
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's super talented players. You know, when you look
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: at what they can do, it's it's impressive. That's a
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: different game. I think everything else in the world thinks evolved.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Basketball has em all rulesome evolved, Analytics have changed the game.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: It's fun to watch, it's just not every team is
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: fun to watch. I think you you know, when our
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: flips through channels and certain teams on I've spent some
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: time watching it, but a lot of teams I don't
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: want to watch because it's just not the brain of basketball.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I like that there's some teams that still play really
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: all back, you know, together San Antonio, Denver, Detroit team said,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: play team basketball, take advantage of the us that are
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: set now by you know, shooting three at the right
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: time and all those things. I would.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't help I'm fairly optimistic, and yet
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I might get smacked down to earth if this thing
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't come through like it hasn't for the last eighteen years.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: And yet, I mean, I can't help but entertain the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: idea of Kevin Durant coming back and being a Sonic,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: just that full circle moment. If if we were to
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: get the team back, would that be something that would
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: be pretty cool for you?
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Thank you? Right. Well, first of all, if we
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: get a team back, it's going to take probably three
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: years before it happens, Daniel, it will be in this
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: twenty first seed, so I'm not sure it's going to
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: be around true, But yeah, we've lost that connection, right really, Ever,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: a couple of players still up in the league how
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: many ties to the Sonics. So it's uh, it's amazing
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: it's gone that fast.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm gonna make you a deal as
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: we as we let you go here, because I am optimistic.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Uh So if if if.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: You're right and I need to be a little more
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: cautious and it falls apart, I will I'll buy you
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: a beer if we ever do cross paths.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know, the round of beers is on me. Uh.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: And if I'm right, if we get the team, you
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: have to buy Bucky a sleeve of.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Golf balls.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: As long as we're good.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sleev of balls will last me for three holes exactly.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, hey, wonderful having you on. Thank you
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: very much for taking some time. We appreciate it, and
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: hopefully as Sonics, uh you know, wishers, we all get
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to that finish line together.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: But it was great to talk to you this morning.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: I'd like to stay positive.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. Detla's tramp joining us right here
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: on Chuck and Buck in the morning. Sports Radio ninety
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM. That guy just got it together. Yeah, yeah,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: he's not your He definitely is not a dumb jock. Yeah,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, the dude is wise and obviously wants the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Sonics back here about as bad as anybody, and and
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: yet he most certainly is in the same boat as
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of Sonics fans. Actually I'm not Yeah, I'm
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: not going to get my hopes up.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I've heard that. He's heard it right from the horse's mouth, right, yeah, yeah, Yeah,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: we're gonna get a team back there. And then now,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: what do you say the last five years He's like, yeah,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I'm tired of hearing it, Like, yeah, that's what you've
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: been saying, Like, do it or stop telling me you're
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: going to do it. One of the two. And it's
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: not a dude that I really I mean, he's very nice,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: but he still is not a guy that I would
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: want to be on the bad side of. He's got reach,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: he's rangy, still is athletic, he's still in really good shape. Right.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: There's something about the accent. It just makes you kind
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: of feel like, yeah, he could probably jack you up
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: real good.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably so silver you might want to, you know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: do what you say you're gonna do. Yeah, we're gonna
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: sick dead on you. Yeah. I just when I think
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: of Debt La Tremp.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I think of a guy that looks in the mirror
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: and like, I really got it going on, and uh
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I look in the mirror most.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Morning, I'm like, what happened? Yeah? What went wrong? Yeah?
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: So you know I envy him that a little bit. Uh,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: but uh, I think that he is. I think Ashley's
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: this way. I think a lot of listeners this way.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Look if they've if you got burned so badly that
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: you don't ever want to watch another NBA game again,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and you don't care that the Sonics are coming, that's you.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Be you.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: That's entirely up to you.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I've never, ever, I've been in this industry for thirty
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: five years, I've never told one listener how to spend
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: their money and whether or not they should spend it
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: on sports. As much as I love sports, I don't
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: spend a lot of money on sports. I'll tell you
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: that much. So if you want to ignore it, you
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: don't want to be a part of the process.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: If you got burned that badly, I would just say
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: to those that are like, I've been hearing this forever
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and I'm not going to get any of my hopes
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: up Okay, I guess that's a pretty good approach to
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: it all to try to avoid getting hurt.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: But scenarios change. Situations change. If you got.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Burned by an ex wife or an ex husband and
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: you swore off dating for a while, or you became
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: more cautious about who you were going to get involved with,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I certainly understand that. But are you going to just
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: swear it off forever? Are you just gonna if you've
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: got a good opportunity in front of you, are you're
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: not going to see how it? This situation might be
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit different. This one might have a little
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: more merit to it. I think the reason that the
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Sonics aren't here is because Adam Silver has not been
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a position to align everything up for one reason or another.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: And I think there's been a thousand different reasons why
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: it hasn't happened. Uh, but this one, I think this is.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: This is why I'm encouraged, because I think the only
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: reason we went from not hearing anything too we're gonna
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: have a board of governors meeting next week that's voting
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: on only two cities possibly being expansion franchises, is because
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: he's wanted to have this meeting for three years and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: he finally knows I have I have it in order
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I have the number of votes I need to pass
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: this through. And so that's why I'm encouraged, because this
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: kind of came out of left field earlier this.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Week and said seven days.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: From now, we're gonna find out whether or not the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: owner the owners want to expand want to pursue expanding
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: with Vegas and Seattle and only those two franchises. So
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I just think it's a different scenario. You know, I
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: think this is you know, this is the one you
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: swipe right on or is it left? I don't know,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: not sure, but yeah, I mean I get you. You
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: had to be cautious, like I'm not gonna believe that one.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to believe that one slipe left, swipe left,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: swipe left. This is one where you swipe right on
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: this if that's the good one, and you just open
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: your heart and your minds to this one, and if
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: they get burned again, then it's just never going to happen. Yeah,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: but we got the arena. That's not an excuse. Everything
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: is set. They've wanted to do this for a while,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and even if they don't get expansion done. There are
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: like two or three franchises that are in limbo right now.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Sonics are coming back. It's happening.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: It's just win. Yeah, I think so, I'm I'm more
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: in the optimistic glass half full group as well, and
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: yet right there and correct me if I'm wrong. To me,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: what it felt like from Debt was when I kind
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: of seconded the conversation of you know where he's not
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: super optimistic or he's he's doubtful, right and understandably so
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: like a lot of Sonics fans. When I kind of
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: went back to it again, it was that, yes, I
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: feel better about where we're at right now with having
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: this initial vote, but he sounded like he's more concerned about, well,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: even if you get this, then you've got to find
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: an ownership group that can get seven to ten billion
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: dollars and how difficult it's going to be to service
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: that kind of note for that long and is it
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: really worth it? Now that's a different bulk, because to me,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I was just thinking, well, there's people out there with
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: fu money they don't care, and yeah, there's a lot
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: of people who love to be the owner. I mean,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: we know that the light Wikis and that whole group
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: you know that has that brought the krack in here
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: that they're interested in doing it, and if they can
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: go out and kind of recruit a few more of
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: their friends come up with it, I feel like it's
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: going to happen. It just is one. It sounded to
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: me like he's a little bit more doubtful and finding
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: a little bit more chinks in the armor.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Well, if you're looking for a group, I'd be a
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: little worried about that. But there are now people in
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: this country that his pocket change to them. If you're
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: not open to one of those guys being the owner,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: then I suppose you're not open to it. But there
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: are people that could buy. There are people out there
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: with connections to Seattle that could buy both the Seahawks
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and the Sonics. Oh yeah, and not sweated, And then
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: you know, and all of a sudden, they're Kings of
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the Mountain, kings of the Seattle sports scene, as well
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: as the kings of their own financial fortune.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Coming up next on the program, uh Man, there was
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: something very interesting that happened in college football yesterday, and
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: another story in the National Football League that's rather interested
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and it all has to do with officiating.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about it next.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KHRFM.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Basally, not Travis Muger.

  Speaker 2: You you can have him do your open heart surgery.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: One day, an hour in a segment worth of perfect radio,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: uh producing back there, and all of a sudden, that's
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: more than eight years of never messing your heart up.

• 21:56
  Speaker 1: big giant mids of yours, Like, how could you get
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: fine work done on all those core puzzles.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Well, it would be hard, nice core puscles. That's good.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I uh, it would be hard for me now because
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I can't see very well.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: But so.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: But if I had my readers, you're good and then
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: used to be better at this. But the eyesight's going. Yeah,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I think this is the This isn't the A order.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think we'll see green wire, blue wire, whatever.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: We'll figure it out and then.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: If I need to with these hands, I got pump
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: that thing back to life. Oh right, you know what
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I mean? Wow, get it back pumping.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I don't like the look on your face when you
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: did that, though, that was like vicious. Is like to
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: throw it on the ground, step on it, like you're
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: trying to pop it. Yeah, maybe start restart it. Maybe
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: it was a little terrifying. Frankly, I'm going to go
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: back to Travis.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Let's just hope you don't need heart set the station.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Although I will say this.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Just quickly and people think this is very weird, and
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I'm sure all of you will now too. I do
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: have on my bucket list at some point in my
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: life I want to help a woman deliver.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: A baby in the backseat of a car.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's a really really bad idea. And the movies
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: it always like it feels like it look like it'd
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: be so rewarding. So be like, I mean, I wouldn't
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: know what I'm doing, and yet I'm like, just I
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: just help her through it, and then I bring life
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: into the world. And then afterwards I'm like, I can't believe.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: I did that.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: She names the baby after you.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't want to be selfish about it, but
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: it would be a nice gesture I helped.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to tell you somebody that's been there
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: a couple of times, like witnessed it. I don't want
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: to do it.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: No, And I have buddies that are firefighters and when
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: they get called for an eminent birth, they call it

  Speaker 1: like they get called and it's like, hey, somebody's having
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: a baby.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Now. It's like a Rochambeau. It's the low man on
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: the total pot, like it's yours. You got it.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Like they don't want to do it, and that's real hero.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just in the role of like just holding
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: her hand. Okay, Well that's okay, So you want to
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: be there for the part. But yeah, I wouldn't want
• 23:59

• 24:01
  Speaker 1: well maybe there's a catcher then maybe grab Yeah. Either
• 24:05

  Speaker 1: home out there. It was fun, a lot of fun
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: out there for a couple of hours. Got to meet
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of listeners who are always very cool. It's
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: it's except well one he wasn't a listener.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: There was one jerk, but he wasn't a listener.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Which the guy that took the ideas okay, oh yeah,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: yeah he can.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah he was a jerk.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: How about all of our listeners, the.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: People that listened that came up, they couldn't be more
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: respectful and kind and everything.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Elson, So thank you very much and I felt very
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: safe too. Right after you walked in head of security
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: walk show, he's like, are those what's that in here?
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Is that are those? I said, those are pens and
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: he's like, oh, those are pens. And then you caught
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: on and he's like, what, Yeah, those are pens. Chuck
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: had two pens, like always pens in his pocket and
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: guys like, that's not a knife, is it. It's not
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: a knife, very very over the top, say no, but
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: this is my Gatland gun. Here hold my gun. I'll
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: show you. Yeah, these are just pens. Here's my sword though.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: All right, I need to pay off the te's finally.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Oh it's taken a little while. I think this is
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: great And I don't know why it takes so long
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: to get stuff done like this, because it seemed obvious
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: to me for years. It seemed obvious to a lot
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: of college football fans for years. It seemed obvious to
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: college football coaches for years. It seemed obvious for Gene's territory.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: We had a number of conversations about this on our
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: show the last few years with Gene as a regular
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: during the football season. But they are finally going to
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: correct a wrong for at least one season. They're saying
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: a target penalty will no longer automatically take a college
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: football player off the field for the following game. And
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know why.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: That penalty was ever so strict.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a difference between, you know, somebody trying
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: to punch someone else, or somebody trying to take somebody's
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: knee out, or some hit that's so nasty that yeah,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: they should be suspended, versus I mean, we're losing star.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Miami lost one for the National Championship Game for the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: first half, a very valuable player to their team because
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: there was a tackle in the open field where receivers
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: head drops while the safety's coming up to try to
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: make a tackle. I mean, how on earth can anybody
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: be in such control of their body. I mean, call
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: a penalty flag on it, make it fifteen yards if
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: it's helmet to helmet contact. But we're throwing kids out
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: of the game the next game for a half because
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: of some split second decision of trying to do my
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: job as a safety and trying to hit a wide
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: receiver and his head lowered as my head was lowering.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: And they contacted in what looked to be a violent fashion, but.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I didn't intend for that to be. And yet we're
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: still because.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Letner of the law, you're out of this game, and
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: you're out for the first half of the next game
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: where they're finally getting rid of that nonsense. Ye well,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, so first of all, just say, I'm with you.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: I think it's a good I think it's a good
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: rule adjustment. Do I think the reason why the rule
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: was there not that you don't understand this, but I
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: think that there's a chance that it could as the
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: game wears on, you get halfway through the second half
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: and you're getting closer to the end. If all of
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the sudden, as a player, you realize, I mean, you're
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: not trying to get a fifteen yard penalty, but I'm
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: more apt or the punishment is going to be less severe.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: If I end up trying to separate this receiver from
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: the ball and it gets called targeting and I miss
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the final two minutes of this game, that's less severe.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: If I don't have to miss the first half of
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the next game, and I want my defensive backs separating
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the receiver from the ball, that's right job.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: No, I understand, and yet I'm just saying that now
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: is as the second half wears on, the penalty essentially
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: becomes less for the same infraction. You get kicked out
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: in the first minute of the first half, you miss
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: that whole entire game. But you get kicked out with
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: two minutes left in the game, you miss two minutes
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: of the game. I'm with you, I'm saying Devil's out. Well,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. I think that what they're trying to
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: do it was a bit over the top. Where now
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, like you said, you can have
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: a mistake, or it's not even a mistaken. An accident
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: happens because the receiver drove, he catches it drops. You
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: were coming full speed, already committed, trying to hit him
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: in the chest and he drops, And now was sudden
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: you hit him in the head and you miss the
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: first half of the national national chance. Yeah that's not right.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yeah, Hey, somebody rips a guy down
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: by his face mask on a tackle. Suspend him for
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: three games for all I care. If you want to
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: stiff in that penalty, if you want to really take
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: out of the game, dirty plays that cause injuries fine,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: but I think intent is got to be factored into
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: these decisions, and now we're finally going to act with reason.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know why it took so long to correct
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: this wrong, but it looks like on a one year
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: trial basis, we're not going to have to suffer what
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: I think was a silly rule in college football. All right,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: coming up next, the countdown to Opening Day not only continues,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: it unfortunately has to be corrected. Sports Radio ninety three
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: point three KJRFM.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: We did pump up the Volume. I remember that was
• 30:02

  Speaker 1: do more, but we're forced to stop the show at
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: nine today.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well we're gonna stop being live. I figured I
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: was just gonna stay here the whole weekend and just
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: share practice. Yeah, well, I was just going to practice
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: play by play into the microphone. Oh, because I really
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: would like to do that someday.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, fine, Well we got your oho, your
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: eight top stories of the day coming up at the

  Speaker 1: and it is six days.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Sorry, sometimes morning math Travis can.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: Relate to this.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, when you know, morning math is
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: not as.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: Effective and efficient as other times of math.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I usually do like a text show text
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: to Ashley and Bucky every day at three o'clock, and
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: so I'm always like thinking ahead to what tomorrow is
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: going to be like. So I did the countdown, I
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: even counted on my fingers for goodness sake yesterday, and yet,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I woke up the next morning and
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I subtracted one of the days off of our countdown.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: So I told you yesterday that we're six sleeps away
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: from opening.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: I lied. I missed. Your pants are on fire?
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: You lied?
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: We're now six sleeps away. Yeah, yeah, sorry, appreciate you
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: totally screwing me over the right I was. I made
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of plans, like only plans that could be
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: five days or six days out and they're totally ruined now.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: But I know, thanks a lot. Jeez. Yeah. Oh and
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to perform ophen. I't surgery on you
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: if you need it. Yeah, I know that. Yeah.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Yesterday somebody was like, hey, I need you in seven minutes,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: and it turned out it was really nine, and I'm like,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: I could have gotten an ab work out in.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Completely threw me off.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I mean the time that I wait, because
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: I was there in seven minutes and you it really
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: was nine.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks a lot. Your core will never be the same. Yeah,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: thanks a lot.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Guy.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: You should have to look at this flabby belly.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: Drop down started doing ab workout right there.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, I need you in thirty seconds. Don't go anywhere. Okay,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: hey wait, it's been a minute and a half. I
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: could have made rice by now.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Eh man, somebody costs you a rice bowl.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what an inconsiderate jackass you turned out. Yeah, exactly
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: forty seconds. Have to unfriend somebody.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, That's what I'm talking about.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: That's you just gotta be careful with your words people,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: all right, So it is six days still Opening Day.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: I'm a little worried that Rob Manford's going to try
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: to shove in another global tournament between now and next Thursday. Yes,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: because he's so turned on by the success of the WBC.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: But can we acknowledge can we take two minutes to acknowledge?
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I mean this spring breakout thing. I mean, I'm watching
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: NCAA Tournament action yesterday, and I did when both when
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: both games were like in commercial, when there was some
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: dead time for whatever reason there was, I did flip
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: over to the Spring Breakout to watch a little of
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: the Prospects Baseball on MMBA network. I gotta be honest,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Rob Manford's making a lot of pretty good decisions now
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: here as of late. I mean the WBC spring Breakout,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: the pitch clock, the limited number of throws over to
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: first hasn't to dramatically change the game, and yet it does.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: We don't have the painful experience of watching a left
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: he throw seventeen throws over to first base to get
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: a little bit closer to picking somebody off the d H.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: The Universal DH didn't want that either, and.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: That I gotta be honest. As much as I really
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: don't like him or trust him. He's been on a
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: role as well. There's a saying even a blind squirrel
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: finds a nut every once in a while. He's got
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: a whole tree full of nuts. Nah, I think he's
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: got a couple nuts, and there's a couple others smullen
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: full of nuts. Yeah, he needs to he needs to
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: spit some of those out, because some of them are.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Not I'm I'm with you on I don't know. If
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: I wasn't a morning show host, I don't know if
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: I would still like the time the pitch clock. Even
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: though it's it is something that I don't think about
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: a whole heck of a lot. There is still times
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: that I know for a fact the pitcher's not ready
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: to throw the pitch, and yet he's rushed into it.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: And I don't think that that's the way the game
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: is supposed to be. But okay, that that's the old
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: traditional yelling at the clouds thing. Again. I didn't mind
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: the pickoffs. I think there's something to holding a runner on,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: and we do not have people that know how to
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: hold runners on. No matter of fact, we didn't really have.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: We had like two or three of them that ruined
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: it for everybody that knew how to hold runners on
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: before they made the rule, and now it's like almost
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: non existent. I mean, there's just is not very much
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: of that going on because you can get penalized if
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: you don't get it after the second time. So there's
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: parts of me that just I have a hard time
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: giving him much credit for anything. But yes, there is
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: a couple of things that I think the futures thing
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: that you're talking about, ring break ring breakout, Yeah, that's
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Mariners played the Brewers today. We'll tell you more about
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: that in the oat.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: So, I mean I think that there's there's He's definitely
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: stumbled into a couple of things that makes sense. But
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to give him a whole heck of
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of credit because he hates the sport and
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: I think he's a dope.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Well, we've been very resistant baseball fans to change. He
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: really does have to muscle his way through some of
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: this to try to get there, and so even I
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: had a lot of doubts.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: But I mean the things that he's.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Changed here recently I think have worked. And as much
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: as I do believe that he spends too much time
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: trying to woo people who don't like the sport and
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: maybe is pissing off his best customers. I think that
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of these moves lately have worked like a
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: charm and I gotta give him credit because I crushed
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: him for so many years as somebody that I don't
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: want my commissioner being somebody that doesn't like baseball.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: I want to hear Bucky's take on ABS.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that too.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: He's pushed that forward, and I know a lot of
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: people were resistant to that.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I can't wait for it.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: I can't wait for it.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see. I hope it works. I hope it works.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: I think we had a lot of pissed off umps.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Well, they're there as well. I don't like umpires feelings,
• 36:53
