  Speaker 2: ask Kirby when you see him, when you let him
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: in the building here, ask him if he's gonna look
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: at me today or if he's just gonna stare at
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: his phone like the guy last year?
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Did I think you have better chances of non phone?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: The guy with no personality was here last year, whose
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: name much like the former athletic director, I will not
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: speak ever again. We just move on, am I petty? Yes,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent, Go kooks.

  Speaker 4: That's a good petty.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: All right. Let me get in new a couple of
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: things here before we get Kirby in here. It be
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: fun to talk to the new head coach Wazoo, find
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: out what's going on, landscape of college football, and much more.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: The Marriags announced a new badcast plan. Let me give
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: him a bullet point to that, and I'm gonna get
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: to a little thing with Clint Kubiak in just a second.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: They'll be available through traditional cable and satellite providers. Specific
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: information on providers and channels announced once can firm closer
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: to opening the in market streaming. Mariners games can be
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: streamed with no blackouts by fans in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Alaska, Montana,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and Hawaii on Mariners dot Tv. Sign Ups from Mayor's
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: TV will open on February tenth at minors dot Com
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: ninety nine dollars for the season or nineteen ninety nine
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: a month. So here's my thing with this. I'll pay
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: it Mariner's fan, I'll pay it whatever it is. It's
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: gonna be hundred bucks, a hundred bucks ware we go.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I don't like this part of it, like I already
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: have a sports tier package with cable. The funny thing
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: is we've come full circle, like I've I've paid to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: get Golf Channel, Big ten Network, ACC Network, SEC Network,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: all ESPNS all the time, FS one, f S two,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: MLB Channel, NL, NHL channel. Root Sports was included in
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: that now, which the only reason you have Root Sports
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: is because Root Sports had the Mariners. They had zero
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: programm in the last couple of years as they started
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: to wean back from it. So for me, it's frustrating.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: So I think it sucks. It's gonna be more money
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: for a lot of you. It's probably better. I don't know.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: You could tell me nineteen ninety nine a month, yes, no,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: in out what do you think? Four nine four or
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: five to one. That is the Tacoma Dodge text line. Sorry, pardon,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: pardon me for a second. We had little reads that
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: we got to do and somebody put one read over
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the other. Anyway, the Coma Dodge text line four nine
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: four five one. Shop to Comma Dodgechrisler g Prem at
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the corner of thirty eighth and South to come away
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the intersection of savings. I want to know what you
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: guys think four nine four to five one to come
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: my Dodge text line four nine four to five one,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: or you can fire off a talk back love to
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: hear your voice. Your voice is welcome on this radio
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: show if you use a little red microphone on the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app ninety nine do I don't know why we
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: say ninety nine nine. It's one hundred dollars for the season,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: all right, one hundred American dollars for the season, or
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: twenty dollars a month, one hundred dollars for the season.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Twenty dollars a month, yes, no, in out? What do
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: you think? Maybe Andrews is sick today? I wish he
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: was here. I'll have to go last. One of the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: young guys out there, like maybe Rory Knows aren't one
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: of great sales guys. I don't know how that compares
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to what the root sports apple was last year. What
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that cost is, so my apologies for that. Like I said,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: mine was rolled in already. I was just paying. I
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: got it because I paid for a sports tier on cable.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: But for those who didn't do what I did, and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: those who are younger and not old like me and
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: using Inxfinity in Comcast, let me know what you think.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Twenty bucks a month, one hundred dollars for the year, yes, no,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: thumbs up, thumbs down. I I will always mention this.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you have to pay for things in life, like
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: people get mad when oh it's behind a paywall, like
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: a good article like Mike Silver was on Today with
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Mark James and Mike Silver does a great job covering
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the NFL. I had a really good story after the
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: NFC Championship game. Is really good insight, and oh it's
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and like people tweeted it out and put stuff out
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: there and there's a link and like, oh it's behind
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: a pay well, yes it is. You got to pay
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: for it. If you Emerald City Spectrum. I got Corbin
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Smith's on atock or two o'clock today, Yes, you got
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: to pay for that. If you want to read Corbin
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: stuff or whatever they else are covering, which is basically
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: every team in the state, you have to pay not
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: a lot, but you have to pay for it. Newspaper.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: If I want to read Bob Candatta or if I
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: want to read Greg Greg Gigabell with the Tacoma Ustriuben,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I have to subscribe to those newspapers. You have to
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: pay for stuff. So now not everyone does that. The
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Kraken had a different model and the kra The Kraken
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: went to free television with King Kong our friends at
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Tegna TV and you can watch over the air television.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: You can watch cracking games for free, or if you're
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: a prime subscriber and you're in the area, which is
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: basically the same area as the Mariners have watched in Idaho,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: organ Alaska, and Montana. If you're there, you can watch
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: it on Prime Video, which I think three hundred and
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: fifty million people in this country have Prime Video. So
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: like the saturate is, it's there. The Cracking are a
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: new entity, new team. It's NHL, it's not MLB. They
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: haven't been around for fifty years like the Mariner, so
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: they're trying to create a new fan base. And I
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: get it, and I think it's a brilliant move by
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Todd light WICKI, Victor de Bonus and Sam and everybody
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: else over there, because they want to get more eyeballs
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: on the product, so they did it that way. It's
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: also easier to have free TV for I think we'll
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: end up doing seventy five of eighty two games on
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: local TV as opposed to one hundred and sixty two
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: or say even one hundred and fifty baseball games a
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: little harder to do that. You kind of have to
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: have your own entity, but you still have to pay
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: for a lot of things. Cracking being the one exception
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: NFL kind of being the other exception, although people can
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: plain when the NFL is on Peacocker Prime Video on Thursdays.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: What have you?
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: So?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Give me your thoughts on that four nine, four to
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: five one twenty dollars a month for the Mariners coming
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: off an ALCS appearance, red Hot cal Rawley twenty dollars
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: a month. Yeah, I mean I don't like it because
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I had it before for already rolled in. But I
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: was fully expecting to pay money, and it is what
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: it is, hundred bucks to watch every matter game. I'm
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: okay with that. You get what you pay for, and
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I think what we'll get this year is a really
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: good baseball team and a good baseball product. So we'll
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: get to thoughts on that four nine, four or five
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: one to come a Dodch tech line and also again
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: you could send it a talkback, love to get your
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: talk backs, your feedback here your voice? Yes, no? Will
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: you pay that? Do you like it? Do you not
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: like it? Do you like the streaming element? Are you
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: old like me? Like just television?
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I mentioned the headlines Clint Kubiyat coats CASCI of teams
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: looking for new coaches, Cardinals, Raiders, Raiders specifically sounds like
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: getting second interview this week. So Mark brought this up
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: earlier and when he first started speaking, I'm like, what
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: are you talking about? MJ, Like, what the hell are
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: you talking about? And I said, when he was talking
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: about it, He's like, Man, if I'm Clint Kobiac, I
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: just I sit this one out out And I thought back,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and that's kind of what we'll ask. We'll talk to
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Corbyn Smith about this at too. That's kind of what
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Ben Johnson did a few years ago when he was
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: kind of the hot up and coming offensive coordinator around
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the league. And remember he stayed in Detroit kind of
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: an extra year. Many thought that he had opportunities to
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: go elsewhere, but he stayed in Detroit. Then they had
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: that great season last year. They're the one seed, they
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: win the division. Yes, they lost in the divisional round,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: but they were red hot. And then he got a
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: second kick at the can and the opportunity was he
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: went to Chicago and he got a head chance to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: coach Caleb Williams and a Bears team that had been
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: stockpiling talent and kind of nobody likes the word rebuild,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: but they had been rebuilding and had rebuilt their roster.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Not one hundred percent yet, but they were well on
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: their way. The Cardinals have an absolute disaster going on
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: with the quarterback situation with Kyler Murray. That thing is
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: not getting I mean, I feel bad for Jonathan Gannon
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: getting fired. That thing's not getting fixed anytime soon. The
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: salary cap number, everything going on there, nightmare. The Raiders
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: are an absolute dumpster fire. They're a dumpster fire of
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: an organization top to bottom. I know some people think
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: that the GM's okay. I think that time, you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: time will tell. They've got a couple of decent offensive
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: players in skill players in Bowers and Genty, we think,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: but hard to tell because Ashton Genty, you know, his
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: situation is really different. Genty at times look good, but
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: then running behind a horrible offensive line and people are saying, ah,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: you look slow. That's I don't know. I think. I
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: think the jury is still out on him. Bowers is
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: an elite, elite pass catching tight end. Michael Mayer is
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: actually a really good backup tight end. Like they're good there,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: they have a no offensive line, and as we well
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: know in Seattle, you cannot just build rebuild an offensive
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: line in one offseason. Their defense has Max Crosby and
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: kind of ends right there. I mean, my god, they
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: had Jamal Adams playing this year like meaningful snaps if
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: they had such a thing as a meaningful snap. There,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: they had Jamal Adams doing that. Yeah, So Clint Kubiak,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: maybe I say this selfishly, maybe it would be wise
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: to pull a Ben Johnson and say, look, you like
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: me now, you'll probably like me next year. Bet on yourself.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Find a better opportunity, Find a better opportunity when who
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: knows what job is going to be open. My goodness,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: we had a third of the league this year was
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: looking for a new head coach. So in that sense, yeah,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: let's let's see what happens. Let's see what we go
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: with and see if that could happen along the way.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: So all right, just some quick thoughts there. I don't
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: know if Clint coop the counter to that real quick.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: And guys say this all the time. There's thirty two
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: jobs in the NFL. One of thirty two, so I
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: do get that as well. But maybe he's six around
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: for another year. We'll take a break. New head coach
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: at Washington State University, Kirby Moore joins US coming up next.

• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Well, when you have a bright, young star staring at
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: your face, it makes it really easy to feel.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna I'm trying to I need to google
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: something here. Uh, Prosser Football Championships. When was the last one? No, no,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: when was the last one? Do you remember?
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: It would be.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Thousand seven, two thousand, SISCO two thousand and seven, J
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: beat O Day. Who'd you beat?

  Speaker 5: I believe we beat Burlington Edison?
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, well I did that game on the radio,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I believe with Hugh Millon if I'm not mistaken, down
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: to Tomodome. Yeah and yeah. So that's uh. And then
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: one of the stars on that team is now the
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: head coach at Washington State University. Here we go. I'm
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: feeling Kirby Moore is here today. How are you?

• 12:20
  Speaker 5: Guys for having me on.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: It's great to have you here. It's awesome. What do
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: you think of what do you think of the digs here?
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: How what do you think of Seattle High Spot here? Yeah,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: you guys had a great lookout here. Yeah, I got
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the little view. You're back in the Northwest. You can
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: see mountains, you can see texture. Huh, it's a little
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: different one PC.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: It's appreciate seeing the mountains. Appreciate obviously seeing family and
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: getting back to our roots.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: We'll getting football in a second. We're talking about this
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: off the air. I think that's an important thing. Though.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Your dad is one of the great coaches in the
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: history of the state, leading Pross or the Mustangs forever,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: and you know, you and your brother obviously playing for
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: him and football like that's true Friday night lights there.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: How important was it to come back and see him
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: and and and just with your young family and everything else.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent. There was, first the communication with
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: the school leadership and their emphasis of football right stood
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: out right away from a Washington State moving forward, the
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: direction with the new conference and the ability to be
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: a leader in the new Pac twelve footprint. And then
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: naturally yeah, there's a family component to this. My wife
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: is also from Prosser, Washington. We grew up together, went
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: to Boise. We're in Seattle here for two years and
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: then Fresno for six, Missouri for three. We got three
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: young kids, both parents here in the state of Washington, Washington,
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: so unbelievable opportunities for our kids to be running up
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: and down the sidelines.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, you're not going to take
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: a job unless it's the right job, and it's a
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: challenging job, which we'll get into in a second. But Kirby,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: when you talk to President Kentwell, John Harlowe and other
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: leadership of the university of what stood out to you just
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: the past of the.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Past and the increase of investment within the football program
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: stood out right away. And President Campbell has only been
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: at Washington State for a short amount of time, But
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: you know the climate right now in college football, it's
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: about the players. And I'm not going to make any
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: plays on Saturday afternoons right or Saturday nights. Our coaching
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: staff is not. Hopefully we're putting our guys in a
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: position to be successful, but it's about the players. And
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: with those conversations just the ability to retain players. And
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: you saw that firsthand on the offensive side of the ball, right,
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: keeping the first the top six tozer linemen, skilled players,
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: and then naturally on defense we're able to add guys
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: throughout the portal period there how much.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: What's the biggest change, It's just I know the money
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: is there, but from when you and your brother were
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: starring at Boise State, so now as you're a head
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: coach in this sport, what is the change that you
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: find most challenging. Is it retention of players? Is it
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: paying players what they think they should get, expectations for players?
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: What are the changes that you see the biggest since
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: you were a player?
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, naturally, we all know there's a financial component to
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: college football right now, and I think the biggest challenge
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: for everyone is just the timeline right, how quick decisions
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: have to be made right in terms of investment with
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: our current players and retention and making those decisions and
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: the dialogue that happens. Obviously, Brad Lorondo has been a
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: huge piece of our roster being put together. He was
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: the CEO of the every true Tiger collective there in Missouri,
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: and so having him come over and being a part
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: of those conversations with our current players, and then in
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: the transfer portal, Right, you have a very quick window
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: in terms of adding guys and making sure that the
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: right fit for Washington State.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: You had, as you mentioned, that challenge of getting guys,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: the retention part of it and keeping guys here. And
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: that's the biggest challenge for any coach that comes in
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: as a new coach. Whether it's you at Washington State,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: whether it's your predecessor who's at Iowa State, it doesn't matter.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: You know, guys, you're trying to retain guys. You're also
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: trying to bring guys in. What was your message to
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: the players right away that you were you know, once
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: you had the first team meeting and then you have
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: guys that are in the portal, but I know, guys
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: were you know when your portals mean you're necessarily going
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: to leave. What was your message to those guys besides
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the financial element.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, very quickly, them getting to know MEMI getting to
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: know them, the things that right they thought were going
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: really well. I wanted them to give me an overview
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: of the program. Right, what are things that they've thought
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: have been done really well? Where's areas we can improve,
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: And so that dialogue was happening with a lot of
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: guys throughout the program and then them having an understanding.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: Obviously I got a little bit of an offensive background,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: and so with that, some of those guys on offense like,
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: it's going to be about you, guys, It's going to
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: be about your guys's strengths. And I've been a part
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: of different styles on offense. When you look at Fresno,
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: when I finished as the offense coordinator in twenty two,
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: we had Jay Hayner, who was a very good college
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: quarterback fourth round draft pick for the Saints and throwing
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: the ball all over the field, which we know Washington
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: State that's been a huge part of the success in
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: the past. And then you know, it was very beneficial
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: for me to go into the SEC where there's no
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: hiding in that conference, and we had a different style
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: of the quarterback. His leg were an asset, and we
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: led the SEC in rushing two out of the three years,
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: which is very hard to do. And so for them
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: just to understand, like this is going to be about
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: you guys, We've played different styles. It's all about assessing
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: our strengths and making sure right we're putting our guys
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: in a position to be successful.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Gold be more's with us. You you were really successful,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: especially as you mentioned the offensive side, keeping guys the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: offensive line. I love that seeing that that that was
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: a priority for you to make sure that you kept
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: the guys that still had eligibility for the most part.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Coming back, let's start right there. Like you were a
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: skill guy, your brother was a skill guy. But obviously
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: you value the dudes up front. And I don't know
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: if that's always been the case at our school with
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: an air raid offense. I mean, certainly we've got Abe
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Lucas and there's got there. There's dudes in the league
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: that played that were offensive alignment at Wazoo, no doubt
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: about it. But I always think the priority always has
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: been what And this isn't as not a shot at Mike,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: but I think Price was the same way. I mean,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: we always think of like those guys, skilled dudes, flying
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: offenses and all that, that's who you were, but you
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: prioritize the offensive line.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: Why the conference I just came from, things changed in
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: a hurry. If we could not right establish the line
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: of scrimmage from an offensive line standpoint, and so right
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: away you see the success and the opportunity to keep
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: a number of those guys. And as coaches, we can
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: drop all the plays we want, but if we can't
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: run the football and protect the quarterback, right, none of
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: those players are going to be successful. We have to
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: have the ability to throw to score and that's got
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: to be explosive down the field throws and then run
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: to win in the fourth quarter when people might know
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: we're running the football, we still got to be able
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: to run the football, and that identity we're going to
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: establish here through the offseason. I mentioned right Fresno State,
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: we're an inside zone gap team, and then you know
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: at Missouri and the SEC we ran outside zone and
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: led the league in rushing. And so that's something we're
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: going to be working through throughout the off season. And
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: you kept basically your top running backs.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: What was what were those conversations like, Yeah, there's a
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: lot of that and I'll bring it. Let me for
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: us references by saying this, Kirby, the kept those guys,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: but like they all want to be the guy, Like
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: running backs don't want to Like we joke about it
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: and see it all the time. It's like charbon Ay
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: and Walker both had great years. You look at the
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: number of carries, they were almost split. And I think
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: if you asked Ken Walker or sharbon Ay and they
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: didn't give you the normal answer, they gave you the
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: trucer answer. They'd say, Yeah, I'd like to get three
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: hundred carries a year. I want to be the guy.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: No running back wants to be split in carries. But
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: that's not how football works. So how did you sell
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: it to to really those guys to keep them all here?
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you look at Kirby, Maxwell and Leo, all three
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: of those guys, a lot of dialogue them having an
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: understanding of what we did at Fresno and Missouri right
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: shootout sending them Cody Schrader highlights right at Hardy highlights
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: of what we did with our running backs. I think
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: they have all different strengths and abilities and areas where
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: they can improve. Naturally, there's an you know, dialogue in
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: terms of the financial standpoint with each one of those guys,
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: and then with that them, we're going to play to
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: each guy's strengths. Ye, And so you know, from an
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: offensive standpoint, being around Chris Peterson, I thought he did
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: a great job of utilizing running backs and making sure
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: personnel groups and getting the right guys on the field
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: at the right time. Whether one guy's better at from
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: a receiving standpoint, short yardage, standpoint, red zone, one guy's
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: better at outside zone than inside zone.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: So making sure we have those guys in those positions.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I love that Kirby Moore joining us. I'm gonna get
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: into your the guys you've coached with, and boy, it's
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: a hell of a list of guys. I mean, you've
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: you've I mean you've been probably I don't want to
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: say lucky. I think that's probably a great thing from
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: your father. But obviously the guys that you've coached under
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: in college football have prepared you well for this moment.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: They all said the same thing when you got hired.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: But let me talk about your defensive coordinator in Trent Bray,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: And again I'm gonna age myself, Bill Stevens just here,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: the great sid Wasn't that didn't feel that long ago
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: that Trent Bray was playing? Right, wasn't that long ago?
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Doesn't feel that long ago? But Trent Bray was a
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: coach at Oregon State. Things didn't work out as Alma
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Mater but we all know this dude knows defense. Did
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: you know Trent before or what was that conversation like,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: because I think that's a massive coupe to get him. Yeah,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Trent had a little bit of dialogue there, just in
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: passing through recruiting and right, you get into this position,
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: there's people that you're keeping track of from previous experience.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: I'm the offense coordinator at Fresno in twenty two. We
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: got a pretty good offense. We play Oregon State second
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: game of the year, very competitive game, and on third down,
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: they were getting after us right on third down, sacking
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: the quarterback, playing really aggressive, challenging us all over the field.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: They ended up winning the game at the last minute
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: on offense. And so that's in the back of your mind, right,
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: And as you progress in coaching, you're keeping track of
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: certain guys, and so when this opportunity came up and
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Trent's situation, we had a bunch of dialogue. He came
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: out the boy see, we had some more dialogue there
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: in terms of in person and felt like it was
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: a great fit.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I just I think it's a sensational one. And
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: he gets to run the defense, like that's kind of
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: you're an offensive coach, are you calling plays? I want
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: to be a part of it.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: I want to make sure I'm a resource for everyone
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: on staff, right offense, defense, special teams. I want to
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: embrace the role of being the head coach. I want
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: to make sure you know, in terms of springball, defense
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: makes a play, offense makes a play. I'm loving up
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: both sides and making sure I'm building relationships throughout the team.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: So Matt Miller will mostly handle those dudes thered percent
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: tell us about him a little bit. Yeah, Matt, you look.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: At his experience from a playing standpoint at Boise and
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: the things he was able to do. Obviously very successful
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: wide receiver, and then was able to go to Montana
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: State with Jeff Chod and they had success there, actually
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: called plays there throughout his Montana State period, and then
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: transition going to Boise and being around right, a lot
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: of really good offensive coaches, whether you look at Brian Harson,
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: Dirk Cutter right obviously last season, Nate Potter and him
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: working together in terms of building that offense.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Kirby Moore is with us right now. I want to
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: go through the guys that you've coached with We'll start
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: with your dad. What kind of influence was him? What
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: did you learn from him? Like I just I mean
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: not so much dad. What did you learn from him
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: as a coach that you're going to take with you
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: be yourself? Right?
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: He was just.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: So in terms of, you know, not what guys can't do,
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: but what they can do. And that's a huge part
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: of success in terms of high school football and the
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: different shapes and sizes of our offensive lines at Prosser,
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: our skill guys rebuilding that every year and you know,
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: they won some games that probably they were a little
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: bit outmanned, and he always had that belief and just
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: having belief in the players too. Right, We're always going
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: to have minor setbacks, but we want to make sure
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: we're having major comebacks throughout the game.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I would I would wonder if the culture part of
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: it too comes into play and everyone talks about culture.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: There isn't a coach in the country doesn't talk about culture.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: But you know, for people in this that are listening,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: they're probably Prossers a small town and it's it's a
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: one high school town. It's it's not like high schools
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: over here where it's like, well, Montey cooler from today
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: is gonna go out and he's gonna the best player
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: is going to migrate there. Same with East Side Catholic
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: or Kennedy or even some of the public schools, Like, oh,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: I'm gona end up at BEV High School. You guys
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: probably play against those guys along the way, right, And
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: it's like, how did that dude end up there? I
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: thought he lived into Colemut. But it's like, that's how
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: high school football works. They're competitive every year, and to
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: me that's very pullman like, you've got to build a culture.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: You got to have the say, you have a smaller
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: pool to draw from, right, and so that I think
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: there's a similarity there, am I Right, there's a little.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Bit of that and necessary, you know for sure, Like
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: proser I told you, he just did a really good
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: job I think of understanding all right, Hey, this is
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: where we're really strong this year.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: This is an area we can improve.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to minimize their weaknesses, whether that was offense, defense,
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: or as as a team.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: And they did a really good job with that. Uh
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: what did Kaylen mean to you? Yeah?
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: He just the epitome of a head coach who empowered
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: his assistants, right Kaalen de Bor offensively right offensive coordinator.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: When I first got to Fresno, they were coming off
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: a one win season. We won ten games that first
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: year in twenty seventeen eighteen, he's the offensive coordinator, goes
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: to Indiana, he comes back. Kaylin's coached receivers, he's coached quarterbacks,
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: and honestly him just given me the ability to run
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: with the position right of being the receiver coach and
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: learning from him, always from an offensive standpoint kind of
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: how to you know, game plan ins and outs him
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: and Ryan Greb was the offensive coordinator during that period.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: We do a great job here at Washington. So being
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: around those guys that learned a ton of football, Chris Peterson, consistency,
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: Just the sun is going to come up the next
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: day and I'm going to be the same guy. Right,
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: whether we're twelve and one and we're going to the
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: college Football Playoff or we're four and six in twenty
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: fifteen and we're battling our tailoft to be Bowl eligible.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I think with I've just I had a few interactions
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: with Kaitlin being at KOUG. You know, it's one of
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: those guys. I didn't want to like him, and yeah,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I just didn't want to like him, and I didn't
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: like I don't want to like Penix either, but I
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: liked both of them. They're just both quality people. And
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Chris Peterson's the same way. You know, I like Chris
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Peterson a lot more when he's a Boise, but not
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: so much when he's at Washington. And I say that
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: tongue in cheek is rival. But there's a you know,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: there's in a world now where it feels like you
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: have to kind of question sometimes what the character, morals,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: ethics are of a sport, which is sad to think
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: these days. It used to be we used to be
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: worried about one hundred dollar handshakes or a coach buying
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: a guy at pizza, right, Like that was what we
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: used to worry about, those those little things. But you
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: worked for a couple of guys that had the highest
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: of moral standards along the way. I don't think that's
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: a coincidence that you Maybe you just lucked out and
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: got with those two guys, but that didn't feel like
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: that was a coincidence. Yeah, very fortunate.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: The team, the team, the team, those guys always put
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: treat every everyone fairly, whether you look at I told
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: you Chris Peterson, and I even had more appreciation for
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: him just going from Boise as the player to Washington
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: as the lowest guy in the quotun pole as a
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: grad assistant and seeing him.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: He didn't just.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Carbon copy the culture, right, He had to build a
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: whole new culture at Washington with new players, new environment,
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: new backgrounds by all the players, and he did a
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: great job of that.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Kirby Moore for a few more moments in studio with
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: a stay new head coach at Washington University. Uh, let's
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: let's talk about the current state of college football. It's
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: in just in terms of the challenges at Washington State.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: It has been remarkable to see what has happened over
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: the last few weeks since you've been hired. We just
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: talked about the retention of a lot of guys, both
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: on the offensive line and certainly the running back position. Uh,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: how is that happening? It feels like there's been an
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: influx of cash money. Kirby, Like we do we have
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: h do we have something going on here we need
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: to know about it? Is there a sugar dadded? Is
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: this is this or is this all?
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Is?
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: It's all just grassrootside go on. It's a collective effort.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: It's a collective effort.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: I told you that those conversations with our school leadership,
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: and I appreciate everyone from a donor standpoint, and I
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: think the players really feel that right now. Yeah, right
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: away walking in the door, it was about retaining right
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: the current players and then in terms of adding to
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: our personnel as well.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: You and I'm joking aside, do you feel like Washington
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: State has the wherewithal to compete at the highest level?
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent. I look forward to this fall
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: and I think we obviously the right now our guys
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: are you're jelling a lot of guys right in terms
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: of the roster from this fall that we were able
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: to retain and then adding a number of guys, so
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: right now that we're all working together, getting to know
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: each other, and we got to be able to trust
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: the guy next to us, right, But I think we're
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: gonna be able to compete at a high level.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: In today's world. Though. You know, if you have a
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: guy there, he wants to be there, like like guys
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: that you retained or guys that transferred in right at
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: this time of the year is like, these guys want
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: to be here, so they're all on the same page.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the new portal of having one portal
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: here with mid season is going to be really beneficial
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: and just that build and you're not looking over your
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: shoulder right in terms of having that spring portal, And
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: so we're gonna be able to go through right this
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: springball period and assess our strengths and weaknesses as a team,
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: and then you need to make sure we're catering our
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: schematics to our players.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Everyone, you know, is kind of trying to get used
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: to the new landscape of college football, Kirby, And you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I'm still trying to get used to your old school
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: in Missouri going to the SEC, right, I mean, and
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: they've been there longer than Texas and Oklahoma have been,
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: so it's been you know, it's like, okay, they're an
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: SEC team. I'm thinking there should be a big twelve teamers.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: You know, whatever self was conference back of the day, whatever.
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: It might be.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: But the new world with the new PAC twelve, I
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: know this, it's going to be a hell of a
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: basketball conference. Football wise, I think it's gonna be interesting
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Boise State right at the top. You guys, Oregon State,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: San Diego State's up and coming as well. How good
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: do you think this conference will be amongst the what
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: is it the Group of Six? I guess they call
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: it now the G six, whatever you want to call it.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Where do you think that this conference? Without seeing anything
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: right now here in January, what do you think this
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: conference is going to be in terms of the power
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: structure in college football?
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's going to be as competitive as
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: any conference right and you look at the success of
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: some of the programs you just mentioned and other ones,
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: just the amount of bowl games throughout these last five
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: years that those programs have gone to It's going to
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: be a really exciting brand of football. I think there's
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: a lot of really good offensive mines, there's some really
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: good defenses, and it's going to be an exciting brand
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: of football to watch.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: What do your friends and boys you say about t
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: in the Washington stage up, I kind of feel like,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I know Oregon State's sort of the rival, but I
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: kind of feel like Boise State Washington State are going
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: to be as this conference comes into playin every year,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: is gonna be the rival.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: I think that's going to the really exciting part of
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: this new conference. I think there's gonna be some new
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: rivalries established. Obviously, that game is going to be super
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: competitive this fall. There's going to be a lot of
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: mutual people, right, whether that's players, staffs, fans, and look
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: forward to that.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: The schedule comes out soon, right soon, Bill, and it's
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I know they're meeting. They're still meeting, right The ads
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: are still meeting today as we speak. They're still meeting.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: There's talk about having flexible schedules, but even like home
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: and homes along the way, I don't know what that
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: would have been like back in the day if you
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: would have, you know, just use the SEC for example.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine Auburn and Alabama playing twice, or LSU
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: and Florida playing twice, but the smaller conference that may
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: end up happening. What are your thoughts on having to
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: play a team twice?
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, naturally that's outside of our sure, right, that's.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: For the schedule maker. Is there a positive? Is there
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: that positive?
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: I think that from a rival rivalry standpoint, you get
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: a home and home depending on where those games are at,
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: and from the fans, I think there's some things to
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: embrace there.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'd rather see a second game with Poise
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: or Fresno or San Diego State than Toledo, to be
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: honest with you, just as a fan. Yeah, like when
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: you're trying to sell it. I mean, the second game
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: with the Order State last year got a little chippy,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: But that's the NFL. The NFL does the same thing.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: It shouldn't be that big of a deal, I wouldn't think,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: But it's also hat of necessity. But you got to
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: think outside the box. I would think it would be
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: good for what you just said, rivalry building, interest, building excitement.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think depending on where the game's at
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: and the ramifications right in terms of the conference or
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: the CFP and all those things. So I think there's
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: gonna be some real positives of that in terms of
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: ticket sales.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: I'll wrap it up with this because everyone wants to
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: know this this question, and here we are in January,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: so I'm sure you can give us a great answer
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: and tell us exactly who it is. But how do
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: you feel about your quarterback situation and what you have
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: in that room? Yeah?
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: Quarterback wise, Cayden Pinnick right coming to us from UC Davis.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: Julian Duggart had some success there in the bowl game,
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: and you know, with those guys, the best way to
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: get better at playing quarterback is to play. And so
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: we're going to go through that process this spring in
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: terms of those guys and getting them out there and
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: you know, assessing what their strengths are right from a
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: past game standpoint, and you know that's the offense has
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: got to revolve around the quarterback. How different are those two.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: I think there's some similarities. Obviously there's some size and strength,
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: but when you look at you know, quarterback wise, I
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: mentioned being at Fresno in twenty two. The best thing
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: for me was going to Missouri in twenty twenty three
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: and we're trying to install the same offense and the
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: quarterback was like, hey, I don't like some of these plays, right,
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: And then as a coach, you got to drop your
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: ego and it's right, hey, here's what are some things
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: that you really do like or maybe it's something that
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: he ran in the past, because he's the one who's
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: got to be making those throws in front of forty
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: fifty sixty seventy thousand people, and so I think we're
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: going to work through that process this spring, and obviously
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: there's an initial installation and then we got to tweak
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: it throughout the summer there's even more access and then
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: within fall camp and we'll find the right guy there
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: in the fall.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, I love that. Now you've got Now you got
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: me thinking about more.
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: Thing.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: I gotta ask you this is interesting because I think
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: what we have seen here when Seattle was when the
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: when the Seahawks were at their their panacle with Pete Carroll.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: One of the things that he did that we heard
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: from and we just had Cliff Favor on the show yesterday.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: These guys talked about all the time on a defensive
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: side of things, is they he took a defense and
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: even though he had his own ideas from USC, he
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: put a defense in play that played the strengths of
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: who he had. And you just said something interesting. So
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: if your quarterbacks come to you you're running back say
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I'm over an outside zone guy, you're gonna be willing
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: to kind of listen to them and be flexible in
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: a sense. And I'm not saying letting them call the players,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: but I think it's an interesting thing like if Julian says, Hey,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: by the way, I can throw the football. I know,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: when one thinks every time I come in I'm gonna
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: run Jail Milroll style for the Seahawks, it's like I
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: can actually throw the football or whatever it might be.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Those conversations, that dialogue you would be open to.
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, everything that we do has got to be collaborative,
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: and the coaches and the players and work together because
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: the players got to make the place on the field
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: right right, and they got to have belief in what
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: we're doing on offense and defense. And you know, I
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: mentioned the run game piece the same thing. We were
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: an inside zone gap team at Fresno. At Missouri, we
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: ran outside zone. That fit our personnel up front. We
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: had a ton of athleticism upfront from an offensive line standpoint,
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: that's what fit our running back. And so we're going
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: to go through that process, whether it's in the run game,
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: the pass game.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: On defense.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: If we're really good at man, we're gonna play man
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: if we're better at zone, right, and I know Coach
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: Bray's gonna do a great job of assessing that through
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: the offseason.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: What would you tell Cougar fans that are listing right now?
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: What would you what's your overriding message to Washington State
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: fans who, frankly, Kirby, have been through a little bit
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years, three coaches in three years,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: new conference, a lot of trupidation and a lot of
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: anxiousness in the world of the Crimson and Gray. What
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: would you tell Cougar fans? Yeah, pass to the past.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: We're really excited about this fall.
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: We need geese of field rocking in the fall and
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: one of the harder places to play in this conference,
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: and we can't wait to get the work.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you coming in. We'll talk again. Thank you, guys.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: One question, how quickly do you get to the locker
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: room and halftime?
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Because I need.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: I have gotten gifted by barstool Sports chasing after Mike Leach.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be a quick one. I'm gonna be honest.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: Okay, So can we do a brisk walk? Can we
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: settle on that right now?
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: Have you on the.
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: Record to risk walk? Not a sprint?
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: That's so fun. I like the days of Mike Leach
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: messing with you. I enjoyed the great late Mike Leach
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: messing with your.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Pumped into a lot of offensive linemen as he weaved
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: in between them.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: So yes, he had a strategy.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: I get the feeling Kurby will be a little bit
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: more cordial sometimes too, so we'll.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: See, we'll see you might want to compete with coach Leach.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Now, thank you guys for having me on. That's Kirby More.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: We'll take a break, come back with more. Nine three

• 37:00

• 37:05
  Speaker 2: All right, daily power play, You're home for the Crack

  Speaker 2: daily power play an egg two before reset things for

  Speaker 2: the top of the hour in just a minute. We
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: got a little fun topic we're gonna hit on day
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: regarding our baseball team. We'll get to that in a second.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Cracking the night, taking on the Toronto Maple leafs. Oh,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: they are in a They are in a world of
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: hurt right now, Toronto. The sky is falling. They're above
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: five hundred. The record is actually similar to the Seattles.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: They're twenty four to twenty and nine. But they are
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: far out of a playoff spot right now in the
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Eastern Conference. They're eight points out with one, two, three,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: four five teams between them in the last playoff spot.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: It's the hardest media center to play in the National
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Hockey League. It's all negative. They're falling apart. Sun needs
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: to get a win tonight. After tonight, Crack can go
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: on the road Vegas Saturday, and then Anaheim in La
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: next week. Those are the final three games, so four
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: games before the Olympic break. Kraken have won two straight games.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: They played really well lately, kind of getting it back together.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: They sit just outside the playoff cut line. They're actually
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: tied in points, but a little bit behind in terms
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: of the point percentage behind San Jose and Anaheim. Twenty four,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: nineteen and nine. Get a win tonight, do a little
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: bit of damage on the road, go into the break,
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you're feeling really good. About
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: yourself if you're of the Kraken. And then after that
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: there is a trade moratorium on next Wednesday, so if
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: there is a move to be made before the Olympic break,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: it'll happen in the next few days.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: So how disappointed would you be if they just escaped
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: with a point tonight?
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Very Okay, that's fair. They need to Okay, that's a
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: great question. They need to get two points tonight. Just
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: kick these guys when they're down. They score a lot,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: but they give up a lot. So I think it'll
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: be an entertaining game. Real quick on KJR is always
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: six thirty pre game with the Captain, the birthday boy
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Mike betten, seven o'clock up of the puck. Uh. Television wise,
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: we're not doing local TV tonight. No local TV. It's
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: on it's on ESPN Plus or Hulu or dazz and
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: so it's just the you're paying for it tonight, right.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: I think I have a free trial on one of those.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: I don't like the NHL doing that.
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: I don't have.
• 39:19
  Speaker 10: TV.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: We're good with that. A lot of people are more
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: than good with that, but I the the more importantly,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: I just don't think the NHL is in a position
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: to do television that you have to pay for if
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: it's on regular, if you're on regular ESPN or if
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: you're on tn T absolutely to cut out a local
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: market and say you've got to watch it on ESPN
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Plus or Hulu. I think that's bad for the league
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: that doesn't need to have bad business. So speaking of that,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: that's your daily power play, brought you by the our
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: friends of this Quahatakbone. Yes, but I just listen. I
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: mentioned what you got to pay. I get that if
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: you have ESPN, you're or TNT, you're already paying for
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: a cable or whatever. Yes, right, And I don't think
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: you should be double dipping NHL fans. I don't even
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: think the NBA is in a position to do that.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think they are. They do peacock games, I
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: think now maybe, but I don't know if for peacock only,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: they might still be on you know, you.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: Know my television situation.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, I just I get everything you do. All you
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: guys that get stuff illegally for free, it's a gray area.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: All you people are gonna get nailed one day, and
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be sitting there with my infinity and my
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: remote my hand and I'll say, you know what, I'm
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: watching my stuff.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: I still pay for it. It's just the amount you
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: pay per month. I'm talking years.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: I'm talking to you, my Druids homies out there. Ah, yes,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: my friend, sketchiness going on. We brought this up earlier
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: before we get to a break in Corbin Smith top
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: of the hour. I want to bring this up again.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: The Mayor's announced there. They announced some of their TV
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: basically what it's gonna cost. It's and that's kind of
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: the thing I'm curious about. Nineteen ninety nine a month
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: or ninety nine dollars a season. Can we just say
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: we don't have pennies anymore. It's one hundred dollars for
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: the seasons a month. Okay, that's what it is. Are
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: you good with that? Okay with that. I don't even
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: know what the cost was last year. Do you remember
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: the cost was last year?
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: As I was told by a Mariners source. Okay, this
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: is the same as it was last year.
• 41:21
  Speaker 11: If you had to buy it, if you all a card,
• 41:24
  Speaker 11: yes exactly, if you were me or others that we've
• 41:27
  Speaker 11: already had it, then you're paying more. Yes, So now
• 41:32
  Speaker 11: it won't exist the way it did, right, because before
• 41:36
  Speaker 11: it was lumped in with Like I said, it was
• 41:37
  Speaker 11: lumped in with you know, Golf Channel, MLB Network, and NHL,
• 41:42
  Speaker 11: NFL Network, Red Zone almost.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Is all lumped in. It was part of the sport
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: higher sports tire. They charged more. I get that that
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: was just for the cable Listen. I'm good with it.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: One hundred bucks a season to watch one hundred and
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: we actually may have more than one or two national
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: games this year. I would assume, oh yeah, right, hundred.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: But even so, let's just say, for argument's sake, one
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: sixty two, let's say it's one hundred and fifty games
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: for a hundred bucks. I'm in, yeah, I wouldn't even
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't. In fact, I'm not sure what my drop
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: dead price would be to watch Mariner baseball every night.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it would be.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: That's a really good question.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe we asked the texter, well, I asked the other
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: one about if if you're okay with a hundred bucks, right,
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: twenty bucks a month, and so, like, what what what
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: is too much? Because you'll tell me if it's too much,
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: If it's too much, you'll tell me if you think
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: it's fair, you'll tell me that. I don't know. I
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: don't even know what my drop dead would be. I
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: couldn't even I couldn't even tell you, like if like, hey,
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: if they were going to charge two hundred and fifty
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: bucks for the season drop dead, I think I still
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: pay it.
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: Oh good, Well, I just it's that's my line. I
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: would say that's the line up.
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: But they're not.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're not. They're paying one hundred bucks. So
• 42:48

  Speaker 2: I love it. I love it. Welcome home, buddy, welcome home.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: I know it's been a long haul and trying to
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: get trying to run a business based in Seattle out
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: of state for a while, and trying to cover a
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: team based in Seattle out of state for a while.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: So happy for you that you're able to get all
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: that done and get yourself back here just in time
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: to head down to a little thing called the super
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Bowl next week. We'll get to that in a second.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: I have not heard this sound yet, but I want
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: to hear it right now with you. This is our
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Dick Fane was over at the media availability day with
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: John Schneider. I think you'll hear Dick's voice ask a question.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: So we'll listen to this together and get some reaction
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: on the NFL's Executive of the Year. Fire away, Jess.
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: Sorry, it's just queuing.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: You know that little uh, that real little round dial
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: that shows up.
• 46:34
  Speaker 5: Here we go, John, you mentioned you had some teams
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: that underachieved, some teams that overachieved.
• 46:40
  Speaker 13: Do you feel like this is one that overachieved based
• 46:42
  Speaker 13: upon your preseason expectations?
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Great question. Paul used to ask me, what was that
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: record going to be? I'm like, he's like a good
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: data guy, you know.
• 46:56
  Speaker 14: I'm like, you're trying to the guy that like, you know,
• 47:01
  Speaker 14: started Microsoft. Like you know, I think we're gonna be
• 47:04
  Speaker 14: nine and seven, you know what it's all about, like
• 47:07
  Speaker 14: expectations and like, but I think when we when we
• 47:10
  Speaker 14: got into training camp, watching how uh Sam was like interacting,
• 47:16
  Speaker 14: you know, with his teammates and then like however, he
• 47:19
  Speaker 14: was like really buying into the walkarounds and MIC's making
• 47:24
  Speaker 14: it about the continuity and the connectedness. I was kind
• 47:28
  Speaker 14: of like, man, these guys are these guys are But
• 47:32
  Speaker 14: I'm Catholic and I'm a warrior or two. So it's like,
• 47:35
  Speaker 14: all right, well where are we deficient? So I always
• 47:37
  Speaker 14: think like that, you know, like where are we what
• 47:39
  Speaker 14: are we missing? So my brain's always.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Kind of reving like that we weren't missing a lot.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: They get to the super Bowl and our favorites right
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: now to win, Corbyn, I'll ask you that question, to
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: this team overachieve or did you expect to see them
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: where they are right now.
• 47:53
  Speaker 8: You know, I'll lean that.
• 47:55
  Speaker 12: They overachieved just a little bit. But I know that
• 47:57
  Speaker 12: you may remember this training I told you they were
• 48:01
  Speaker 12: gonna win twelve regular season games. So it's not as
• 48:06
  Speaker 12: if I was going into this season thinking now that
• 48:09
  Speaker 12: they might be around where they were at last year.
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: I thought this team was gonna be pretty good.
• 48:13
  Speaker 12: I didn't know that they were going to be a
• 48:15
  Speaker 12: super Bowl team, though, So you know, I think you
• 48:17
  Speaker 12: could say they've overachieved maybe a tad bit, but this
• 48:21
  Speaker 12: is a roster that's got a lot of young talent,
• 48:23
  Speaker 12: it's got a lot of veteran talent, it's well coached.
• 48:28
  Speaker 8: He put all those things together, and special things happen.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Corbyn Smith joining us right now? Are the did the
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: two best teams do you think in the NFL play
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: last week in the NFC Championship Game?
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: Yes, I do. I agree with the idea. I've seen
• 48:46
  Speaker 8: some other people push.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: This that that was the super Bowl.
• 48:49
  Speaker 12: Now that's not saying that the New England Patriots are
• 48:52
  Speaker 12: a team that the Seahawks can take light. Man, I mean,
• 48:54
  Speaker 12: it's the super Bowl, but New England had a much
• 48:58
  Speaker 12: easier path to the Big Game. There's no question about that.
• 49:02
  Speaker 12: That doesn't mean that they're not deserving, but Seattle had
• 49:06
  Speaker 12: to go through San Francisco and Los Angeles, and I
• 49:10
  Speaker 12: think the Rams for most of the season were probably
• 49:13
  Speaker 12: the best team in the NFL. The Seahawks went to
• 49:16
  Speaker 12: the Switch at the end of the season and ended
• 49:19
  Speaker 12: up beating him twice at home to atge them out
• 49:22
  Speaker 12: as the best team by the Rams for much of
• 49:24
  Speaker 12: this year with the number one team, So I think
• 49:27
  Speaker 12: that that was kind of the de facto super Bowl
• 49:30
  Speaker 12: in the sets that it was probably the two best
• 49:32
  Speaker 12: teams in either conference battling for a shot at the
• 49:35
  Speaker 12: Super Bowl.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: Corbyn Smith Emerald City Spectrum Joining us here, brought to

• 49:54
  Speaker 2: background out here, which is awesome. This is good ambience.
• 49:57
  Speaker 12: I like that, so I I was warning Jesse tom
• 50:01
  Speaker 12: it before you guys called it. Since I'm moving h permanently.
• 50:05
  Speaker 12: I've got four cats in the.
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: Car with me right now.
• 50:10
  Speaker 12: Two of them are two of them are die hard
• 50:13
  Speaker 12: football fans. I've got a I've got a twenty pound
• 50:17
  Speaker 12: main coon that if there was a football version of
• 50:20
  Speaker 12: a three tech Rocky would be a three.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: Tax I love it.
• 50:24
  Speaker 8: He loves he loves to watch football. He he loves
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: to watch football.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: With dad, and he always jokes I love it.
• 50:32
  Speaker 12: He'sing right now, so he's probably trying to tell you
• 50:35
  Speaker 12: what he thinks of the super Bowl.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: We'll get we'll get to more matchup stuff next week,
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: but I want to stay. There's been a lot of
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: talk about there's this. Really I almost had to play
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: it today for the dumbest thing I've heard today, but
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: I decided not to. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow if
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling a little frisky, so to speak, with the cats.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: But uh, the guy I think it was Barstool Sports
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: has a has a show. Pardon my take?
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: Is that right?
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: Does that? Does that sound right?
• 50:57
  Speaker 8: Correct?
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: These these these guys were talking about, well, I mean,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: if you take good teams away from Seattle, they didn't
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: play anybody this year. I said, did you listen to
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: what you just said, if you take the good teams away,
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: New England I think had four games against playoff teams
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: this season. Seattle went four and two against just two
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: teams that were playoff teams in San Francisco and LA.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Never mind the fact that Seattle also had to play
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: the Houston Texans. Last I checked, They're a playoff team,
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville playoff team, Carolina playoff team, Pittsburgh playoff team. Tampa
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: should have been a playoff team. We can go through
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: the list, on and on and on. I kind of
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: bristle when I hear that Seattle's fourteen and three record,
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: corbet is massively more impressive than anything the Patriots did
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: this season. But I want to bring this up for
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: a second because I talked about this with Mark James
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: earlier in our cross Talk segment, and he said he
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: did a pole question who do you trust more, Drake
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: may or Sam Dard, And I think everyone's saying Sam Donald,
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: which is odd because nobody would have said that maybe
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: at the start of the season or midway through the season.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: But I bring up Sam Donald for this reason. I'll
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: broaden it out. I trust the Seahawks more because Corbin,
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: I would make the argument they have been more battle
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: tested their final three regular season games. Must win against
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: the Rams on a Thursday, must win against Carolina on
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: the road, must win a San Francisco on the road,
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: playoff game against San Francisco playoff game against the Rams.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: That gauntlet that they have gone through the last five weeks,
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: that's that is that is battle tested, Like nobody's business.
• 52:30
  Speaker 12: I'm just laughing at that quote that you read me
• 52:33
  Speaker 12: there you take the good teams out.
• 52:37
  Speaker 8: That's like, that's like saying you take away my huge
• 52:40
  Speaker 8: bald spot and I have a fullhead of hair. I
• 52:47
  Speaker 8: don't understand that. You might not be willing to say
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: that's your dumb take. I'm willing to say it.
• 52:53
  Speaker 12: I'll put my money board, like, come on, no team
• 52:57
  Speaker 12: was better. I have to I had to stat in
• 53:00
  Speaker 12: front of me said I'm driving.
• 53:01
  Speaker 8: I can't pull it up right now.
• 53:02
  Speaker 12: But like, the Seahawks had the best win percentage against
• 53:05
  Speaker 12: playoff teams with more than six games against playoff teams
• 53:09
  Speaker 12: in the NFL, and people are trying to make backery
• 53:13
  Speaker 12: of their schedule. Come on, I mean New England lost
• 53:16
  Speaker 12: to Gino Smith and the Raiders at beginning of.
• 53:19
  Speaker 8: The season, like, I'm sorry, but I just have to
• 53:22
  Speaker 8: push it back a little bit on that.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: Well, it's really I mean, and I bring it up.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: I think it's relevant for only this reason what I
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: just said. I think that you're sole battle tested. If
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: you're Seattle right now, like you like you're right like
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: in that you've been through. Now. The counter I guess
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: to that, Corbyn is you're a heavy favorite in the
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl. You certainly can't take New England lightly. And
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: you just kind of mentioned that a moment ago. But boy,
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: it just feels like it's a little bit lighter work
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: than what you're used to the last few weeks.
• 53:55
  Speaker 8: I didn't look if the Patriots played the way they did,
• 53:59
  Speaker 8: it gets deader. In the AFC Championship game.
• 54:02
  Speaker 12: Play with a backup quarterback, New England's gonna be troubled
• 54:07
  Speaker 12: they play like that. Now, if they play like the
• 54:09
  Speaker 12: team that beat Buffalo a couple of times this year,
• 54:12
  Speaker 12: they can beat anybody. So that's the thing you have
• 54:14
  Speaker 12: to understand, is like, you don't win thirteen games in
• 54:17
  Speaker 12: the NFL and call it a flute. I don't care
• 54:20
  Speaker 12: what your schedule looks like. It is really hard to
• 54:23
  Speaker 12: win games in the National Football League, and so you know,
• 54:28
  Speaker 12: I think Seattle is clearly the more battle tested team.
• 54:30
  Speaker 8: To turn the back.
• 54:31
  Speaker 12: They plays the Rams three times, the forty nine ers
• 54:34
  Speaker 12: three times, even some of their weaker games where against
• 54:37
  Speaker 12: teams like Pittsburgh.
• 54:38
  Speaker 8: They got into the playoffs.
• 54:39
  Speaker 12: So I think from that standpoint, Seattle is clearly the
• 54:44
  Speaker 12: more battle tested team. But that doesn't mean that New
• 54:47
  Speaker 12: England is not deserving. They still got here. They're still
• 54:51
  Speaker 12: in the big game. And as we've seen time and
• 54:54
  Speaker 12: time again, when it's a winner takes all four bat
• 54:58
  Speaker 12: like this, crazy things can happen in.
• 55:01
  Speaker 8: The Super Bowl. So Seattle's not going to be going
• 55:04
  Speaker 8: into this game.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: Thinking they've got this made Corborck. What impressed you the
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: most about the winner of the Rams?
• 55:11
  Speaker 8: Sam Donald? Easily?
• 55:13
  Speaker 12: Sam Donald, I just thought, you know, it's funny and
• 55:16
  Speaker 12: you look at the stats and he is one of
• 55:18
  Speaker 12: eleven quarterbacks in NFL history.
• 55:21
  Speaker 8: In a playoff game to have over three hundred and thirty.
• 55:24
  Speaker 12: Passing yards, passing touchdowns, a sixty seven percent.
• 55:29
  Speaker 8: Or better completion rate, and no turnovers. It has happened.
• 55:32
  Speaker 12: Eleven guys have done it. Matt Ryan did it twice.
• 55:36
  Speaker 12: But we're talking to the entire history of the NFL.
• 55:38
  Speaker 12: That was an all time performance by him. And I
• 55:42
  Speaker 12: think when you consider Mike McDonald mentioned this a couple
• 55:44
  Speaker 12: of times, all three touchdown passes he threw, he was
• 55:48
  Speaker 12: on the ground after he threw the ball, like he
• 55:50
  Speaker 12: got daled on all three of those plays, and he
• 55:54
  Speaker 12: still delivered perfect strikes. And I thought the touchdown to
• 55:57
  Speaker 12: Bobo was his best pass the entire nine. That was
• 56:00
  Speaker 12: a really hard one to thread in there, and he
• 56:02
  Speaker 12: just threw that perfect right into Bobo's hands. And I
• 56:07
  Speaker 12: just I thought it was the best game on see
• 56:09
  Speaker 12: Sam Donald play for in the company NFC Championship game
• 56:12
  Speaker 12: and to silence the people that were still trying to
• 56:15
  Speaker 12: criticize him that he couldn't win the big game and whatnot.
• 56:19
  Speaker 12: I just the fact he spread the ball around the
• 56:21
  Speaker 12: seven receivers. Give Klick Kubiak a lot of credit for
• 56:24
  Speaker 12: that too, But I thought Sam Donald was the most
• 56:27
  Speaker 12: impressive thing. And defensively, Nick Emon Worrie, what can we
• 56:31
  Speaker 12: say at this point that that kid just continues.
• 56:34
  Speaker 8: To deliver three huge pass breakups this game.
• 56:39
  Speaker 12: Those are the two guys that are the reason the
• 56:41
  Speaker 12: Seattle Seahawks are in super Bowl.
• 56:42
  Speaker 8: In my opinion, I mean Jay Said had a big
• 56:44
  Speaker 8: game too. But say if Donald and Nick Evan.
• 56:47
  Speaker 12: Wori, those guys were the needle movers, they got them
• 56:51
  Speaker 12: over the huff.
• 56:52
  Speaker 8: To win that football league.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: Corvin Smith joining as Central City Spectrum. Nick Emon Worry
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: not named defensive Rookie of the Year in one of
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: the one of the there's so many damn awards out
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: there for the NFL. Was that the wrong decision?
• 57:07
  Speaker 12: Yes, I look, I know he bes's parts of four games,
• 57:12
  Speaker 12: but that that adds to the ammunition in my opinion,
• 57:15
  Speaker 12: I mean, he led all safeties in past breakups. He
• 57:20
  Speaker 12: was second in tackles for loss. The guy plays five
• 57:24
  Speaker 12: different positions. He's even got some snaps as a defensive
• 57:28
  Speaker 12: end this year.
• 57:30
  Speaker 8: That kind of a season.
• 57:32
  Speaker 12: I'm sorry, Carson Schwesschinger had a great year, But Carson Schweschinger.
• 57:36
  Speaker 8: Played on a really bad football team and he's got
• 57:39
  Speaker 8: a lot of tackles. What else is there there? Nick
• 57:41
  Speaker 8: Eman Warie has got all those impact plays that you
• 57:45
  Speaker 8: are looking for.
• 57:46
  Speaker 12: Two and a half sacks, he got an interception as well.
• 57:49
  Speaker 12: To me, it should be a slam dunk that he's
• 57:51
  Speaker 12: the Rookie of the Year because he's been a catalyst
• 57:54
  Speaker 12: for making what was a really good defense in elite defense.
• 57:57
  Speaker 12: I think he is the guy that has been that
• 58:00
  Speaker 12: a handful that has made that click here for this one.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: I would ask the question this way too, when you're
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: making when you're voting on that, and it's an individual war,
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: but you got to look at the team's success as well.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: Would the Seattle Seahawks be in the Super Bowl right now?
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: Would they be the Would they have been the one
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: seat without Nick emn Warry, No, they would.
• 58:19
  Speaker 12: They would have lost the game to the forty nine.
• 58:22
  Speaker 12: They might have lost that game at San Francisco, and
• 58:25
  Speaker 12: they might have lost the game, honestly, And that's that
• 58:28
  Speaker 12: Week sixteen game against the Rams. They probably lose that
• 58:32
  Speaker 12: game without a couple of big plays that he made
• 58:35
  Speaker 12: that ended up forcing.
• 58:36
  Speaker 8: The Rams bals.
• 58:38
  Speaker 12: And there's other games where he's been a catalyst for
• 58:42
  Speaker 12: them winning. But no, I think there's still a playoff team.
• 58:45
  Speaker 12: But they are not NFC West champions without Nick.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: Even wore covied in What's wild is I was just thinking,
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: I was, I was looking ahead and we got Rob
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: on tomorrow Rang and and you know, Senior Bowls taking
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: place this week and East West Shrine and all that stuff,
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: and we're going to talk to Rob, you know, get
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: kind of start getting. We know now the Seahawks will
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: draft you the thirty first or thirty second in the
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: first round. We also know that as it stands right now,
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: they only have four draft picks next in for the
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: draft this year. In fact, they only have one Day
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: three draft pick, a six round pick. So now do
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: we believe John Schneider is gonna end with only four
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: draft picks? Probably not. But what I think, back to Corbyn,
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: is all of us covering draft last year, and I
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: just asked you about Emon Worri, I think we could
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: say the same thing about their first round pick and
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: Gray's abel they on that draft day, that draft weekend
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: last year, John Schneider and his staff put the final
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: touches on a super Bowl team. And that's kind of
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: amazing to think about, it, isn't it?
• 59:42
  Speaker 8: It really is?
• 59:43
  Speaker 12: That was that was the you know, I would argue
• 59:46
  Speaker 12: that Rashid Shahid is the master stroke.
• 59:48
  Speaker 8: Just because of what he has done for them on
• 59:51
  Speaker 8: special teams, but the step before that was drafting.
• 59:56
  Speaker 12: Even Worri and Gray is Able, two guys that I
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 12: I've said this on this show and I'm gonna.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 8: Keep saying it.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 12: The rest of the NFL is going to rule the
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 12: day that they allowed John Sneider and Mike McDonald.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 8: To be able to trade up in the early second
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 8: round and get Nick Evin Morty.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 12: They got two of the best players this draft class
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 12: with one first round pick, and those guys are already stars.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 12: Imagine what they're gonna look like here in a couple
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 12: of years. That really is the That is the exclamation
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 12: point of what has been in the.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 8: Back of opens for John Schneider.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 12: This has been his most mastball work here the last
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 12: couple of years, culminating to what has been a phenomenal
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 12: twenty twenty five for John Sneider running this franchise.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: And really draft wise, it goes back to the last
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: three drafts. For sure. I want to bring up another
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: move because you know, one of your guys, Nick Lee,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: wrote the story at the Emerald City Spectrum. I think
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: it was really good about about Ernest Jones. Let me
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: go there too. You want to talk about a master
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: show last year. Now they didn't make the playoffs last season,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: they still had we call it nine or ten wins
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: at ten wins technically maybe more, not like nine and
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: a half, but whatever, they were still a good team.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: In Mike McDonald's first year, they weren't a good team
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: and they weren't a good defense at the start of
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: the season. They became one when Ernest Jones got here. Honestly, like,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: we want to talk about let's get I'm gonna two
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: more moves. We know about Darnold Rashishi, he the draft
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: picks to me. The other two pieces, Tank Lawrence, Ernest Jones,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: and I'm gonna.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 8: Throw one more out there for you. Uh, Drake Thomas, Yeah,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 8: you want to talk about.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 12: Drake Thomas and Jalen Sundeal getting undrafted guys that becoming
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 12: I think Seattle finally has a long term starting center.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 12: Jalen Sundell has been fantastic during this night game winning streak,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 12: and he's starting to ball people to go with this athleticism.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 12: So I wrote a thing on Evertony Spectra top ten
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 12: moves for Josh Schneider that earned him this Executive of
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 12: the Year or I was having a hard time putting
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 12: ten moves down because there's so many good ones that
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 12: have been made in all three phases. That's when you
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 12: know you are laughing the competition. When you're winning free agency,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 12: you're winning the draft, you're winning undrafted free agency. Really
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 12: did four phrase four phases. You're winning the trade deadline too.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 12: They got three All pros in consecutive years at the
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 12: trade deadline without giving up a first round pick.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 8: Just think about that for a second.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: Well, and I would with the Drake Thomas move too.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: It's Schneider. But you know, you and I both know
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: there is somebody in the bowels. Well they actually are
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: upstairs on the third floor, but there is somebody there
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center, or probably not even
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: with an if he has an office there, it's a
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: small cubicle, but there's one of his dudes. There's an
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: area scout. There's or Nolan or one of his assistants
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: as lieutenants like that. Drake Thomas screams, just incredible scouting
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: staff to find a guy like that. And we had
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: we've had Drake on twice this year on the radio show.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: We liked talking to him. Just the story is so good, Cormyn,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: because listen, he's a linebacker in the NFL. You've been
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: next to him. I've been next to him. I think
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: they listed him at six feet that's okay. If he's
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: at the senior ball would not go well for him,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: Let's just put it that way, like the measurables will
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: not go But he's a football player, and he's a
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: hell of a football player.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you look at the college cats for him. He
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 12: had nineteen tackles for a loss his senior year at
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 12: North Carolina State. It's not like he was playing bad competition.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 12: He was playing in the ACC and he had a
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 12: bunch of SATs. He had a bunch of interceptions like this, dude,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 12: I had a fourth rond great on him, but he
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 12: went undrafted because of the measurables.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 8: So again, kudos to the Seahawks.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 12: They didn't get him as out of undraged free agency,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 12: but when the Raiders.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: Cut him, Yep, the Seahawks Pouya.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 12: That's turned out to be a fan fantastic and Josh
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 12: job that's another one. I know he didn't have a
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 12: great game on Sunday, but he's been really good for
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 12: the most parts that they got him off waivers for
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 12: the Eagles, So you got to give that entire scouting
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 12: staff and a personnel staff, a lot of credit.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 8: And I know John Schneider's saying this is a this
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 8: is a team award. It absolutely is. But but he
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 8: is the witch pin of that with all the moves
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 8: that they have made.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take my chances with job jail anytime.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 9: Man.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: That guy, Yeah, he's gonna give up some that's fine,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: but his compete levels through the roof. And you're right,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: and also screams as well, why the Raiders are the raiders.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: It's just like, let's just be honest, that's this guy
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: can't help us. Okay, Uh anyway, before I let you go,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: just a quick thought, I'll let you put a ball
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: on this, your thoughts on on on what what goes forward?
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: What happens going forward with Reek wollen.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 15: Woo.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 8: You had to finish with that one.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 12: I you know, this is been one that I have
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 12: just been going back and forth on and I honestly,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 12: even talking to people in the building, I don't know
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 12: that people in the building since.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 8: What's gonna happen on that front that is as close
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 8: to him.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 12: Fifty fifties you're gonna find Because I will say this,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 12: I think Mike McDonald, and he's made it evident with
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 12: a lot of his responses. I think Mike McDonald has
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 12: come to have a lot more respect for the man
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 12: and the player that Rake Wollen has become, and even
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 12: with some of the mistakes that are made, how he
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 12: has come right to his defense. And so I wouldn't
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 12: be shocked if that's the reason they end up resigning him,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 12: because I think Mike McDonald feels like he's got a
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 12: guy and he's been really good most of the second half,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 12: Like teams aren't even testing him. But it's all gonna
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 12: depend on what, you know, the price range is at
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 12: and oh, we've got Devin Witherspoon, we got to pay too.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 12: So that is gonna be maybe the toughest decision that
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 12: they have to make going into this offseason with the
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 12: pending free agents.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: I would tend to agree. Tell people about what you
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: got going on at emeraldcy Spectrum.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Emerald Cityspectrum dot com. We've got a couple of
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 12: new pieces for college basketball that were posted the last
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 12: hour for our Seattle RedHawks at Washington State cook fans.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 8: There's some good stuff on there.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 12: I'm gonna have the like dpiece about the Seahawks brain
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 12: trust of you know, I don't want to say former losers,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 12: but they've got some guys that on this team, that
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 12: play on a lot of bad football teams, that are
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 12: the catalysts for getting to this Super Bowl. I've got
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 12: that piece coming tonight and a lot more Seahawks coverage
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 12: coming your way once I finally am settled and.

  Speaker 3: It's been viewed like two million times. Yes, Dan Katz,

  Speaker 2: Yeah, no it, we'll play it.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: It's well taken care of.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: We'll play it tomorrow because it is the dumbest it
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: will be not only the dumbest thing we've heard today,
• 1:07:30

  Speaker 2: I think it sucks.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 16: Go Seahawks pay.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 8: I pay for tickets, I pay to go to games,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 8: I pay for jerseys. It's just more and more and
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 8: more and more and more on a team that I love.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 8: Otherwise I'm out.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, uh, we'll get We'll get to a couple more
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: in a second. I would interesting thing. I'm so torn
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: on it. I'm really torn. I don't like the thought
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: of I don't like the thought of a major league
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: baseball team charging more on top Now. I don't know
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: the answer to this, And when we talked to Greg
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: Green last week about this, I don't know if he
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: knew the answer. The there's some people texting in that
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: says they think it's gonna be part of what you're
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: paying for already with the I don't think it is.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: I think this is an addition to that. Yes, I
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: don't think it comes with like if you're paying for
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: the sports tier on Comcast, But we'll try to get
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: that answer tomorrow. I don't know off the top of
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: my head. I don't know what other like if Direct
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: TV or Dish they're different than say YouTube, YouTube's a
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: streaming service. I think you kind of I'll kart that
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: stuff right, For the most part. You kind of pay
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: as you go for different things.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, everything's kind of different. It's amalgamating into cable agains, right.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: Well that the first guy I said, though I like
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: to change the channel. I like to be so I'm
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: hoping it's actually on a channel, not just a stream.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm hoping for. Fire Away, keep going.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 7: Got a lot more for crying out loud.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 12: Don't reinvent the wheel here all the crack and models.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 10: I will not pay for the Mariners because all they
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 10: do is their stadium. Everywhere is Nicol and Daimu to
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 10: get the most profitable business they can, and they refuse
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 10: to spend it to improve the product. They have an
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 10: amazing GM, an amazing team that has put together a
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 10: golden standard team with scraps and pro management.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: Well let's let's let's let's take a step back. Like
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: they they brought Naylor back, they paid him. They're paying Coal,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: They're paying Julio. They don't have to pay the pictures yet.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: Outside of Julio, I mean, they've actually outside the rock.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: But they are paying some guys. They have the arbitrary
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: They avoided arbitration with everybody. I I understand the feeling
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: of the quote cheap. I listen, you can't erase forty
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: nine years of cheapness with one offseason. But I do
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: believe that they deserve a little bit more credit than that.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: One of those guys just said, I don't think they're
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: nickel and diming the baseball product as bad as they did.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: Now they're not spending Dodgers' money, but only the Dodgers
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: are spending Dodgers money. And I think if you want
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: to have a complaint this offseason, the only one you
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: maybe could have and think about how crazy this is
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: is they didn't want to get into a bidding war
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: with for Horae Polonko, and frankly, I've been as critical
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: as anybody in terms of them spending or not spending.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: I don't blame them for not going crazy with Horror Polonko.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: You probably got his best and most healthiest year you're
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: ever going to get last year, right Like, I'm okay
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: with that. I'm not going to crease.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: The next contract where he went.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: I get I'm not gonna I'm not going to criticize
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: them for that. As far as Fallow the kracking model,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: I bet they would have liked to follow the Kracking model.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: Like I said before, I think it's a really challenging
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: one to do because you're gonna you're limited in a sense.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: You've got to find a local station that has a
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: secondary station. Now you have Fox plus you have I
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: don't I think King and Kong would have been out
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: of it because they have the Crack and already is
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: on Kong. Right, you could use Como's got whatever channel
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: they have, the ARC I think they call it is
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: their secondary channel. So maybe you could have gone down
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: to the Sinclair road. But then you're asking for rights
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: fees and some money and all those things, and frankly,
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: maybe you just couldn't get it done financially the Kracking model,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: which I don't know if they would be okay with
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: me saying this, but I will. I think the Kracking
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: model comes on the heels of what the Utah Jazz
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: did a few years ago. Oh interesting, Yeah, and try
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: to try to make it, you know, try to make
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: it more accessible. But the Crack can also need to
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: grow a fan base more so than the manners need
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: to grow fan base. Members don't need to grow fan
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: base as much because they have a built in fan
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: base of fifty years. That's a little bit different, a right,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: keep going, he And the.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 15: Only reason I kept Exfinity as long as I did
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 15: was because Root Sports was the only way to watch
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 15: Mariners baseball.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 6: As soon as.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 15: Root Sports came out with the app direct to consumer,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 15: cutting the cord and going to YouTube TV, signing up
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 15: for Root Sports was a no brainer.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: It saved me like one hundred bucks a month. Okay,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: keep going.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 17: In Kansas, and I'm a big cracking fan and unfortunately
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 17: the ESPN Plus is the only way that I get
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 17: to watch the boys play. And so I know it's
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 17: an occasional disadvantage for you guys the PMW, but remember
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 17: the rest of us around the country that love the
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 17: crack and we have to rely on ESPN Plus to
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 17: be able to see the say the.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 4: Games, Okay, shout out to the dog in the background.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. Uh yeah, I listen. If you live
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: outside of the market, that's a whole different conversation than
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: we're having here with with people in our market. But
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: I mean I did that. I lived in Salt Lake.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: And when I lived in salt Lake, that was in
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: the early days of direct TV, slash the Baseball Package
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: whatever they called it, MLBLU, mL Center Play, whatever the
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: hell they called it. And I mean I paid for
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: that every year, and I couldn't care less about any
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: games besides the Mariner games. But I paid for it
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: because I want to watch Mariners. I was in Salt Lake,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: so I get that. ESPN Plus is actually a really
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: if if you're a hockey fan, it's the greatest thing
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: in the world. If you're out of market, you know,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: because you can watch every game and it's it's I
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: think ESPN Plus is the best thing going. There's so
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: much on there. I mean, small college, medium sized college football, basketball,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: high broadcast a lot, Yeah, yeah, basketball, whatever it is.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: So anyway, keep going.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 7: Your question is, is ninety nine dollars too much or
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 7: one hundred bucks too much for a Mariner's streaming game.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 7: I think that's probably a good deal, and it's probably
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 7: gonna be the last year we see it at one
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 7: hundred dollars if the Mariners continue being successful. I already
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 7: pay one hundred and fifty dollars a year from MLB
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 7: TV to watch the Yankees and Dodgers.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: I like watching good baseball, so I'll pay for it.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you I think it's a fair price. First
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: of all, if they if after year one they raise
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: it like substantially, that'd be greasy. Yes, that would be greasy.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: But I understand what the previous person was saying about.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: This might be the last time we see it at
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: that price, because once there's takers then and it's you know,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: we see that with every streaming service.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 4: It goes from eight dollars to eleven dollars and then
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: you think, oh, that's only three dollars a month. Okay,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: I'll do it.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just the natural progression of the streaming game.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: And I'm not blaming the Mariners for that potential. It
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: just is natural.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 4: So I understand just being a little trepidese shits above it.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: I'll read a couple of texts, will be doing the talkbacks.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: One more FIREWAYA.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 16: Softy maller here, man, I'm getting getting ready to do
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 16: cross talk with you talking about the Mariners.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 18: I don't know, man, paying for the MS I paid
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 18: for a lot of dumb things in my life. Hundred
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 18: bucks here ain't so bad. I don't know how you
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 18: kidding me.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 16: I'm paid for more from poop bags down here, walking
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 16: the dogs down here in the cold freaking Motlake, Go manors,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 16: go hat.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 18: I don't know, man, I'll pay for it. Who won'ts
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 18: in the World Series, Babe, we had to get that in.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: That's pretty good, all right. Let's see what we got here.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: Still lumped in for ex entity, same as last year,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: says Jason Siller. Is it I don't know if it is.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: I think I gotta pay extra. We'll find out.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: We can get some clarification from some reps from the
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: Mariners as well. They just don't have the details out
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: right way.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see Keith Miller, MJ style. Cut the Comcast,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: get the YouTube, a Mariner package, thank you later. Yeah, Ian,
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: give me the radio my backyard patios and beer barbecue
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: catch the National Games.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think they even have a radio contract because
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: Rick Rizz is retiring, So I think the only way
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: you can do it is on this new deal. No
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: radio for them. Do you hear that? No radio this year? Yeah,
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: it's too bad. It's unfortunate. That's unfortunate. Let's see what
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: else we got here. My elderly mother loves the Mariner.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: She will not be able to forward it on a
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: fixed income. That's all about greed. MLB and the maryors
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: make plenty of money and now to Nicol and dime
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: their fans is wrong. Tool six. When the Root Sports
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: Directed consumer came out, I switched to YouTube TV. Still
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: have the sports package same as Infinity for one hundred
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: dollars cheaper, paid twenty for Root Mirror's net savings eight
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: dollars a month. I think we're gonna find out more
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: as this gets closer. What we're you know, who has
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: to pay win is YouTube? Everybody on YouTube paying extras,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: Everybody on Infinity paying extrays, Everybody on what's the other thing,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: Fubo paying? How does that work? I don't know. I
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: People can reach out to me and I want tell
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 4: you how to get it.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: Two six twenty dollars a month is fair of my
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: max is twenty dollars a month. They're listening, not telling
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: them if I pay more, let's see it's fair. I
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: didn't do it last year, so I don't know what
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: the price was, but I'm gonna do it this year.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: Hundred dollars is fine with me, and my cutof will
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: probably be two hundred or two hundred and fifty two
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: O six. No way, I'm not paying to watch the
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: Marrors or any of the team. I spend every day
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: making billionaires more money. I'm not going to do it
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: in my free time too. Are you America fan?
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 6: Could you?
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: That's a weird thing, right, Like if you're a Merror fan,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: we'll be able to record the game through the new
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: app roops when Roops Sports app wouldn't let you do that.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know you could if you had like Root sports. Okay,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: but yeah, yeah, And why are you recording a baseball game?
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say, I I haven't done that in
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 4: so many years.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: I'm curious if Manors TV is in the standard cable
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: package pain the view is short sighted. Diehard fan will
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: pay in a casual new won't. How do you build
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: a fan base? I think that's a great point. I
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: think that's kind of what I said earlier. Maybe the
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: Manners don't feel like they need to grow the fan
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: base the way you do grow a fan base. Again,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: this is the Kracking model. By giving it to you
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: for free over the air, that's how you grow a
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: fan base. Now the Cracking are in year five, the
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: Manners are in year fifty, so it's a little bit different.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: Bigger fan base, more established fan base, et cetera. I
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: don't think there's any part of it that will be
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: in the standard one. Softy joins US next.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 4: Slash Team Chase in net On your.

• 1:21:21
  Speaker 13: England Patriots. Jack Westover Outsigh High walk on one year
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 13: of high school football, had no idea what the hell

  Speaker 6: in this league.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: Is that true?
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think he was a pretty good college football player,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: So I'm not.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 6: That Punny can play in the NFL. Anybody can play.
• 1:21:44

  Speaker 6: He's going to give us a buzz.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 13: He just wrapped up practice out there in Boston or
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 13: a Foxborough. I don't know where their facility is. Where
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 13: is their facility?
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: I think it's right next to the stadium. I've I've
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: been there.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 8: We were there.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: God when did the Huskies go to the the playoffs
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: under Peterson? Twenty sixteen sixteen? So that'sabama, that's right, we
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: were that. That's the last time I was there. And
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: all I remember is it took three hours to get
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: there and three hours to get back. But I think
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: it's right there. I think it's I think the facility
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: is right there.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well Jess would know. Yeah, she's an East Coast gal.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: Do you think it's I think it's facilities right there,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: isn't it.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 4: Where are you talking about New England?
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 4: New England.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 6: No, it's a facility, their practice facility.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 4: Their practice facility is. And by the way, I'm a
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 4: New York person.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it's right next to it.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know because I refuse to set foot on
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 4: Patriot Turf.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 13: Oh well, is there a twenty four to seven spa
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 13: next to the Patriots facility?
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: You know that that is hidden underground somewhere and by
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 3: the way, the Executive of the Year Hall of Famer.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 3: That's going to happen.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: It's in Foxboro, it's located adjacent Jilllets State. That's why
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: I thought I thought it was right.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 6: We got that settled, by the way.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: So yeah, he'll be calling you from Jeely Stadium hanging.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 13: From Gelatte four o'clock. Mike Colm Green will be here.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 13: He's Chris Collinsworth is going to call the radio show
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 13: and say hello.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: That's pretty awesome.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 6: He's doing the game for ANBC. That's a great next Sunday.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: Can I just having Cheriico and him do the game
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: is awesome.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I think they're great. I think college Worth is
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 13: the best in the business. And it's not just his analysis,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 13: it's also his delivery. Yes that makes any sense.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: No, I think him and Trico or just they're the
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: best gold standard. Hey, we asked this question earlier. I
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: don't know because you cut the cord. I did not,
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what did you pay last year
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: for the Mariners? And so was twenty bucks a month
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: and one hundred bucks for the year, okay for you?
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't even know what I paid.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 13: It was on Fubo and one of those add on
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 13: things you go to the website and you hit the
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 13: thing and you gets like ten bucks or whatever.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 6: It was, twenty bucks a month, whatever it was. I
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 6: had no idea twelve bucks.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: This seems reasonable, doesn't it? Twenty bucks a month?
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 13: I just I don't know, man, I don't really freak
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 13: out about stuff like that unless it's like exorbitant obviously,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 13: you know, but one hundred hours a year year to
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 13: watch the Mariners play.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: Watch one hundred and fifty plus games, Yeah.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 6: Sounds reasonable to me.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 13: And I talked to uh my buddy Greg Green over
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 13: there this morning, yes, and his the money quote from
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 13: him is wherever you watched last year, you'll be able
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 13: to watch this year.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he right, Hey, yeah that's what I was told.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 6: That's what he told me. He told me.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 13: Go on, you go on Comcast, you go through your guide,
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 13: and there's gonna be a dedicated line in the schedule
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 13: in the guide, whether a channel or whatever.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 6: Like on Fubo.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 13: There's no channel numbers, right, like people talking about it, like, yeah,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 13: channel six to seven was root on Comcasts, right, We don't,
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 13: we don't deal with channel numbers anymore. Over here on
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 13: the afternoon show because we're all Fubo men now.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: So right now, I don't deal with that. Looking at
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: comcasts the channel number, I know we're looking at comcasts
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: here in the seat in the studio, right, I happen
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: to be watching channel six twenty five, right, that would
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: be the golf channel. Yes, I need Windham Clark to
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: crank it up anyway. I'm watching that and it goes
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: six twenty seven no longer exists, So I don't know
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: if they're going to bring it back channel.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they could be.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: The question would be when you just keep Root then.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 13: Because they don't want to run rout. They just want
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 13: to produce baseball games out of a stadium.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 6: Weird. I don't need a studio anymore, right, I mean
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 6: where are they doing the pregame? Where they do in
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 6: the postcall show?
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: They call it a truck show or things out of
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: the truck.
• 1:25:22
