2:12
Speaker 2: what's on tap coming up here in a moment as well.
2:15
Speaker 2: I do want to mention a couple of quick things
2:17
Speaker 2: before we get started here. Number one, as you know,
2:20
Speaker 2: I had four hundred and ninety six New Years resolutions.
2:22
Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
2:23
Speaker 2: Number three hundred and ninety one was to not complain,
2:28
Speaker 2: particularly on the airwaves about bad drivers on the way. Yeah,
2:32
Speaker 2: so I'm not going to violate that today. I am
2:35
Speaker 2: going to say something that is going to be very
2:36
Speaker 2: unexpected to you. I did not run into one a
2:39
Speaker 2: hole driver on an entire drive.
2:42
Speaker 4: You know.
2:42
Speaker 2: Impossible? That is? It is possibly like I split an
2:47
Speaker 2: at him. Did you fall asleep because you had to
2:49
Speaker 2: have passed? Maybe I was the a hole and I
2:52
Speaker 2: just you know, if you don't can't recognize the a
2:55
Speaker 2: hole on the road too, Maybe that's what it was.
2:57
Speaker 3: An A hole driver at the grocery store yesterday and
3:00
Speaker 3: lost my You know what on them.
3:01
Speaker 2: Well, I was yesterday today, it was completely today.
3:05
Speaker 3: It was a Friday. Everyone's a good driver.
3:07
Speaker 2: I ran into two bad drivers that were scared. I
3:12
Speaker 2: have a little more patience for them. Yeah, and so
3:16
Speaker 2: I had to suffer them on the you know, go
3:19
Speaker 2: five lanes over from you know, the to get to
3:23
Speaker 2: where I needed to go part of the mission. And
3:27
Speaker 2: so that's always interesting every morning to do that, huh.
3:31
Speaker 2: And so there were a couple scaredy cats that didn't
3:34
Speaker 2: make life a little annoying. But I don't think I
3:37
Speaker 2: dropped one f bomb. Wow on a thirty mile drive.
3:41
Speaker 2: I think that's a new record for me. Well, yeah,
3:44
Speaker 2: zero is going to tie the best record for sure. Good.
3:46
Speaker 2: I'm good for you. I don't think I've ever done
3:49
Speaker 2: not since sixteen that's number one. Yeah, I think it's
3:52
Speaker 2: the first zero.
3:54
Speaker 3: Well, congratulating to be celebrated.
3:57
Speaker 5: Well, i'll tell you what your weekend is looking up
3:59
Speaker 5: right now? Shirt started off like that kind of felt
4:02
Speaker 5: that way.
4:02
Speaker 4: I have a feeling it was a reward for you
4:04
Speaker 4: doing so well on your New Year's resolutions.
4:06
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what it is, just really paying them off. Yeah,
4:09
Speaker 2: but there was a moment I'm getting ready to enter
4:12
Speaker 2: the second bridge on the ninety, you know, on our
4:14
Speaker 2: way in here, and I'm like, what an easy drive
4:18
Speaker 2: I've had. I don't think i've been angry once.
4:21
Speaker 3: Then were you worried you jinxed it?
4:22
Speaker 2: And then I was worried I jinxed it because I
4:25
Speaker 2: literally said it out loud, oh yeah, by myself in
4:28
Speaker 2: my car, and I'm like, oh, well, that's a total jinx.
4:31
Speaker 2: The rest of my drive is going to be a disaster.
4:34
Speaker 2: And yet I only had like the two you know,
4:36
Speaker 2: scaredy cats and we kind of got rid of them
4:39
Speaker 2: pretty quickly.
4:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, just zoom on by Yeah.
4:42
Speaker 2: And then after that, smooth sailing again. So I don't
4:46
Speaker 2: know what I did do to receive that gift. You're
4:50
Speaker 2: just traffic gods. Maybe that's what it is. Yeah, been
4:53
Speaker 2: living right, and I've bet big heart, and.
4:55
Speaker 4: I bet you know, traffic gods are Seahawks fans, and
4:58
Speaker 4: they know that you've been a really great Seahawks.
5:00
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what it is.
5:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, trying to make the date a little bit brighter
5:04
Speaker 4: for you.
5:05
Speaker 2: Traffic gods are like, man, I've really enjoyed you. I
5:07
Speaker 2: don't listen to sports a lot yea, as traffic gods.
5:10
Speaker 2: I feel like I have to share it. But this
5:12
Speaker 2: week Super Bowl, I've been really locked in. Yeah, boy,
5:15
Speaker 2: you are doing a heck of a job to reward
5:17
Speaker 2: you rich.
5:19
Speaker 5: Be really pumped if you have somehow got the traffic
5:23
Speaker 5: gods to listen to us.
5:24
Speaker 2: We are number one. He showed me the numbers. We
5:27
Speaker 2: are number one with traffic gods between the ages of
5:30
Speaker 2: thirty five, hundred and forty five.
5:31
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that is a large gap.
5:33
Speaker 2: It's a tough demographic. We've never been number one in
5:35
Speaker 2: that category. Benders owned that category for years. And ye's
5:42
Speaker 2: for that.
5:42
Speaker 4: Number one with everybody else Jody and Bender of course,
5:45
Speaker 4: but right with all the other traffic gods.
5:48
Speaker 3: I'm going to span an ageless gap.
5:51
Speaker 2: I'm so glad we finally took those a holes down.
5:53
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, exactly. They get too big for their bridge.
6:00
Speaker 3: All the time being like good.
6:01
Speaker 2: Morning, yeah yeah. Yeah. So you're successful in stuff because
6:08
Speaker 2: you drive in every day with joy in your heart. Drivers,
6:14
Speaker 2: I probably get like, please escort probably helicopters. That's Bender
6:19
Speaker 2: for you. The other thing, and I would just mention
6:20
Speaker 2: this very quickly. So I went to get my car
6:25
Speaker 2: and then in the garage next to the car and
6:28
Speaker 2: I share, It's not like I have my own garage,
6:32
Speaker 2: there was a sword leaning up against the wall. There's
6:36
Speaker 2: a sword. Now, I don't know if it was a toy,
6:38
Speaker 2: so it looked real. I'm sure it wasn't sharp around. No.
6:42
Speaker 2: I mean I was a little late, and I knew
6:44
Speaker 2: I had to get gas and put it in the trunk,
6:46
Speaker 2: and I was sure that I was gonna have to
6:48
Speaker 2: run into my average thirty nine A hole drivers on
6:51
Speaker 2: my way in uh and I ended up that was
6:54
Speaker 2: one where I didn't need to have could have played
6:56
Speaker 2: with the sword. Well, so here's the sword and I
6:59
Speaker 2: but I'm been away, and I'm like, should I have
7:02
Speaker 2: grabbed that for like public safety to keep somebody else
7:06
Speaker 2: the wrong person coming by to grab that. I mean,
7:10
Speaker 2: I don't want to look like as that's like a thief,
7:12
Speaker 2: like I'm stealing it from someone. But I just don't
7:15
Speaker 2: think people should leave their swords out in public.
7:18
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it's frowned upon. Actually you're supposed to
7:20
Speaker 3: keep it polstered.
7:21
Speaker 5: Well, it could you could have grabbed it and then
7:23
Speaker 5: your fingerprints. It could be a murder. Murder weapon you
7:27
Speaker 5: would have just put in the back of your trunk.
7:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, so for public safety, yeah you probably should have.
7:31
Speaker 4: But you know what, if the traffic gods really love you,
7:33
Speaker 4: that sword will still be there when you get back,
7:35
Speaker 4: and then you can do the right thing between it into.
7:37
Speaker 2: The kill motorists.
7:40
Speaker 3: Oh, we're not supposed to say that loud, right, Oh okay, No,
7:43
Speaker 3: I was just supposed to wink about it.
7:46
Speaker 2: I just thought that that's just seemed like the obvious solution.
7:48
Speaker 3: No, it does.
7:50
Speaker 2: But yeah, so I don't know. I don't know what
7:52
Speaker 2: do you do when you run across an unattended sword
7:55
Speaker 2: in the year twenty twenty six? Is there a law
7:57
Speaker 2: on that?
7:59
Speaker 5: At a minimum, I pick it up and I swing
8:01
Speaker 5: it around, you know, feel the weight of it, feel
8:03
Speaker 5: if it's balanced or not, and then uh, probably look
8:06
Speaker 5: around and you have put it in my trunk because
8:08
Speaker 5: I mean, you can never have too many swords, and
8:11
Speaker 5: if you leave it out it's a finder's keeper. Then yeah,
8:13
Speaker 5: of course, I mean I only own one sword. It's
8:16
Speaker 5: actually my wife.
8:17
Speaker 3: I could have just been in the backyard with a sword.
8:20
Speaker 2: It was more of a like a medieval looking thing.
8:24
Speaker 2: It was that kind of looking sword and I'm sure
8:26
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was sharp. It may have
8:28
Speaker 2: been a toy. But if it was a toy, I
8:30
Speaker 2: mean Bear would have just like, oh my godh yeah,
8:32
Speaker 2: he loves the greatest toy.
8:34
Speaker 5: Basically, he turns everything that is longer than his arm
8:37
Speaker 5: into a sword. So a real sword he would like.
8:42
Speaker 6: Cool.
8:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, So if it's still there, yeah, I get it.
8:44
Speaker 2: Bear would love it. Uh, mom, are you using the
8:48
Speaker 2: broom right now? I would like to take ex Brumber
8:51
Speaker 2: out into the yard and slay some drag.
8:54
Speaker 5: But the first time the broom has been turned into
8:55
Speaker 5: a sword. Matter of fact, he does push ups because
8:58
Speaker 5: his mom is sick of him swinging things in the
9:00
Speaker 5: house like swords.
9:01
Speaker 2: Oh well, he would have. If he would have, I
9:04
Speaker 2: wouldn't even known what to do, because I mean, you
9:07
Speaker 2: just can't leave your sword hanging around that much, unsheathed
9:11
Speaker 2: or didn't have a sheath, No, just sitting there leaning
9:14
Speaker 2: up against the tip was down on the concrete, and
9:18
Speaker 2: then the hilt was lean up against the wall, and
9:21
Speaker 2: it was just sitting there to be taken and used
9:25
Speaker 2: by any former lord. Yeah. Yeah, night.
9:30
Speaker 5: Maybe the Highlander lives in your building.
9:34
Speaker 2: I know that for sure.
9:35
Speaker 3: It was.
9:35
Speaker 2: I think, I think I know that one for sure.
9:37
Speaker 2: That we had Highlander night last Wednesday. He was really shy.
9:44
Speaker 3: Dunke an egg from the new in your building. That's
9:48
Speaker 3: what it was.
9:48
Speaker 2: Just probably a hedge night. It was probably what it was.
9:51
Speaker 4: So, I mean, you can't take them too seriously because
9:53
Speaker 4: no one else does apparently.
9:54
Speaker 2: But a hedge night, even they have honor. You don't
9:56
Speaker 2: leave your sword in a garage attended, you know you
9:58
Speaker 2: should do.
9:59
Speaker 3: If it's there when you get back, kick it over
10:00
Speaker 3: and see if it makes.
10:01
Speaker 4: A loud clanging noise or a quiet cleaning noise, then
10:03
Speaker 4: you'll know if it's real or fake.
10:04
Speaker 2: Realer toy. Yeah, well, I don't know. I don't know
10:08
Speaker 2: what to do with it. I didn't know what to
10:09
Speaker 2: do with it. I don't know what kind of laws
10:11
Speaker 2: we have in this country. It just seemed inappropriate just
10:14
Speaker 2: say that it's unusual. I would say that very bad night.
10:18
Speaker 3: Curious if any of our listeners no sword laws, if
10:20
Speaker 3: they want to help us out.
10:21
Speaker 2: There they have no sword law. Maybe pender gas Law knows.
10:24
Speaker 2: Maybe pender gas Law can help me out.
10:26
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, they probably can.
10:27
Speaker 2: Yep. All right, Well it's a super Bowl sixty time.
10:32
Speaker 2: And yes, we have done this series called a Series
10:36
Speaker 2: of Unfortunate super Bowl Conversations, and it comes to an
10:39
Speaker 2: end today. This is the last one. It's a four
10:42
Speaker 2: series part series, all right, and so today is the
10:46
Speaker 2: final one because we don't want to talk about unfortunate
10:49
Speaker 2: topics when we're at the super Bowl next week. So
10:53
Speaker 2: I want to start with it today. It just feels
10:56
Speaker 2: like the best place to put this. And another reason
10:58
Speaker 2: why is because I had to listen to a conversation
11:02
Speaker 2: this morning on the drive in that is right in
11:05
Speaker 2: this area, right, I mean, it just feeds right into
11:09
Speaker 2: this topic. And so what I wanted to bring up
11:13
Speaker 2: was that I'm sure we're going to start hearing the
11:17
Speaker 2: man the super Bowl really doesn't do anything for me. Oh.
11:21
Speaker 4: I was thinking about this on the way in because
11:23
Speaker 4: I saw something like, Okay, yeah.
11:24
Speaker 2: This conversation, like I don't know then just doesn't interest me.
11:31
Speaker 2: Seahawk's Patriots, And so we're going to hear this and
11:39
Speaker 2: and it's bs is what it is. You've got a
11:43
Speaker 2: one seed and a two seed making it to the
11:46
Speaker 2: super Bowl for goodness sake, and I just can't stand
11:49
Speaker 2: that sentiment of I've heard of Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, yeah,
11:56
Speaker 2: I didn't even hear this. Drake may Garden, Till bush Yer.
12:00
Speaker 2: I just hate that sentiment. It's like, no, you don't want,
12:04
Speaker 2: you don't want to, you don't want a good Super Bowl.
12:07
Speaker 2: You just want people who've once upon a time, you know,
12:12
Speaker 2: been the faces of insurance ads. That's that's because those
12:16
Speaker 2: are the only people you know. And if it's from
12:19
Speaker 2: a fan from Omaha, Nebraska, and you know they spend
12:23
Speaker 2: their Sundays at church and helping you know, grandma get
12:27
Speaker 2: around the house, and they've not heard of some of
12:30
Speaker 2: the Seahawks players or some of the Patriots players or
12:34
Speaker 2: whatever they can. Okay, I'll give that a pass, but
12:36
Speaker 2: we're gonna hear it from national media members like I
12:40
Speaker 2: did this morning. Where's the star power? Where's the star
12:44
Speaker 2: power in this game? Will? I don't know. One of
12:47
Speaker 2: the teams had six Pro Bowlers, And I'm not talking
12:50
Speaker 2: about Shidwear Sanders Pro Bowlers. I'm talking about guys that
12:54
Speaker 2: actually got in on the very first ballot. Uh and
12:58
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots have the run. He's going to
13:00
Speaker 2: be the runner up for MVP. That's the second highest
13:04
Speaker 2: vote totals. Since this doult doesn't understand sports, that's the
13:09
Speaker 2: second highest vote total in the entire National Football League.
13:12
Speaker 2: They also have arguably the best cornerback in the National
13:16
Speaker 2: Football League and Christian Gonzales. If you haven't heard of
13:19
Speaker 2: Devin Witherspoon, Nick Eman Worri, Leonard Williams, JSN, Jackson Smith
13:25
Speaker 2: and jab.
13:26
Speaker 3: Number one offensive guy.
13:27
Speaker 2: If you haven't heard of these people, bottom line, let
13:31
Speaker 2: me bottom line something for you. If you haven't heard
13:34
Speaker 2: of any of these people and you are a national
13:37
Speaker 2: sports host slash figure, you are terrible at your job. Yeah,
13:44
Speaker 2: I mean awful, Like get another profession. If you've not
13:51
Speaker 2: heard of Drake may or Christian Gonzales, And you know,
13:54
Speaker 2: maybe you got to stretch a little bit to recognize
13:58
Speaker 2: the importance of Milton Williams and Christian bar More. And
14:03
Speaker 2: maybe you gotta stretch a little bit to just kind
14:06
Speaker 2: of see the value in Charles Cross and Gray Zabel
14:10
Speaker 2: since their offensive linemen and aren't recognized as household names.
14:14
Speaker 2: But there's plenty of star power. And it's a one
14:17
Speaker 2: seed versus a two seed, and these are two great
14:20
Speaker 2: brands in the National Football League. Did the Patriots sneak
14:24
Speaker 2: up on you. Yeah, I mean, I know they've been
14:27
Speaker 2: living in obscurity for the last quarter century.
14:30
Speaker 3: I didn't know they were yehere are they from.
14:33
Speaker 2: The New England area where Boston. So, I mean, we're
14:39
Speaker 2: going to hear this and it's unfortunate. That's why we're
14:43
Speaker 2: bringing it up, that we're gonna have to deal with this.
14:46
Speaker 2: But I just want everybody listening to rest assured that
14:50
Speaker 2: this is a fantastic Super Bowl matchup with two teams
14:54
Speaker 2: that have absolutely earned their way there. And I think
14:59
Speaker 2: that the best team in the National Football League this season,
15:02
Speaker 2: the Seattle Seahawks, is going to end up winning the
15:05
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. And that's how I want a sports season
15:09
Speaker 2: that I've dedicated my time and interest in as a
15:12
Speaker 2: talk show host who's actually proud to actually know what
15:16
Speaker 2: the f he's talking about. That's what I want the
15:19
Speaker 2: season to end with. I want to believe in the
15:22
Speaker 2: champion at the end of the year. I just don't
15:25
Speaker 2: need people who've you know, been on the view before.
15:28
Speaker 2: I mean, if that's what you need, star power wise
15:32
Speaker 2: in order to appreciate the Super Bowl matchup. So there's
15:36
Speaker 2: my statement for the day. Yeah, Well, I don't even understand. Mean,
15:39
Speaker 2: there's there's times I suppose that certain Super Bowls feel
15:43
Speaker 2: less appealing, and yet it still is the Super Bowl
15:46
Speaker 2: to me. I just there's that I don't get.
15:49
Speaker 5: I don't really ever let my own thoughts about which
15:53
Speaker 5: teams I like or dislike, or if it's one that
15:55
Speaker 5: I follow, or if it's one that has a star
15:58
Speaker 5: power you know. I mean you think of the Brain,
16:00
Speaker 5: the Seahawks, you know, the Patriots.
16:03
Speaker 2: You know, those are two big brands, like you're talking about.
16:05
Speaker 5: If it was you know, if the Cleveland Browns are
16:08
Speaker 5: in it, then yeah, maybe not as appealing per se,
16:11
Speaker 5: but then there's the appeal of a team that never makes.
16:14
Speaker 2: It that would be phenomenal. Yeah.
16:15
Speaker 5: So to me, there's always and a group of guys
16:19
Speaker 5: on both sides that are playing the Browns.
16:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.
16:23
Speaker 5: Actually, well, then wouldn't be able to be in the
16:27
Speaker 5: Pro Bowl. You probably choose to ninth alternate in the
16:31
Speaker 5: Pro Bowl over playing in the Super Bowl. That's not true,
16:34
Speaker 5: but I mean I think that there's just then there's
16:37
Speaker 5: always a storyline and ultimately, to me, it's you come
16:39
Speaker 5: down to a championship game in any sport, and I
16:43
Speaker 5: think about it through Wow, the dreams that are coming
16:46
Speaker 5: true for the individuals that are out there on the field, right.
16:49
Speaker 5: I mean, it's that's way bigger than our fandom. I mean,
16:53
Speaker 5: it just is. There's there's something about being able to
16:56
Speaker 5: hoist that trophy and get that Super Bowl ring, and
16:58
Speaker 5: you basically are kind often into the history books forever
17:01
Speaker 5: as one that won the Super Bowl. And so to me,
17:04
Speaker 5: I don't care which teams are there. I don't care
17:07
Speaker 5: if you got there in some sort of flukyway or
17:10
Speaker 5: if there's debate about are you the most deserving team?
17:13
Speaker 2: I think that these.
17:14
Speaker 5: Teams both did earn their way there through the playoffs
17:17
Speaker 5: and the way that they got there. Both of them
17:19
Speaker 5: earned their way to get into the playoffs, even if
17:21
Speaker 5: you want to discount the strength of schedule for one
17:25
Speaker 5: team or the other.
17:26
Speaker 2: They're going to go out there and throw it all
17:28
Speaker 2: out on the field and see who wins.
17:30
Speaker 5: To me, as long as it's a legitimate championship game,
17:33
Speaker 5: not something on some shortened season or some technicality. If
17:37
Speaker 5: there was some oh well, we found out that the
17:41
Speaker 5: Rams they spent fifteen dollars over the salary cap, and
17:44
Speaker 5: so even though they beat the Seahawks, they don't get
17:47
Speaker 5: to go play some stupid thing that would be silly.
17:49
Speaker 5: And yet this is both teams earned it. I don't
17:51
Speaker 5: understand how people wouldn't.
17:53
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a better match up out there. I
17:54
Speaker 2: would like to I think Seahawks Bills is more appealing
17:58
Speaker 2: to have Josh Allen there, and they never won the
18:00
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. I mean that would be a big There's
18:02
Speaker 2: a better matchup. And believe me, I'm not believed in
18:05
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots all season long. I mean we
18:07
Speaker 2: did a draft and they were the fourth round pick
18:10
Speaker 2: for our Super Bowl picks, fourth round, like the fifteenth overall.
18:13
Speaker 2: So I don't think any of us truly believed in
18:15
Speaker 2: the Patriots all year long. But Ashley, I mean a
18:18
Speaker 2: one seed versus a two seed. I mean, I mean,
18:20
Speaker 2: I don't know how you can knock it for not
18:22
Speaker 2: being interesting.
18:24
Speaker 3: No, And that's what I don't understand either.
18:26
Speaker 4: And I saw somebody post on Sunday an anotional guy
18:29
Speaker 4: right away, worst super Bowl ever, and I was like, Okay,
18:32
Speaker 4: first of all, we're super Bowl ever would probably be
18:34
Speaker 4: like Tampa Bay versus Miami, Like that would be a
18:36
Speaker 4: terrible super Bowl.
18:37
Speaker 3: Nobody outside of Florida would care.
18:39
Speaker 4: But I just think, like one, you're just clearly doing
18:43
Speaker 4: it for attention or I don't know, or just you're uneducated.
18:47
Speaker 2: I don't uneducated, That's what it's uneducated. Like I don't
18:51
Speaker 2: do my homework as a person that has this job
18:54
Speaker 2: and as the responsibility of this job, I don't know
18:57
Speaker 2: enough of the players, and so I don't find it
18:59
Speaker 2: as interest like I need guys that I've heard of,
19:02
Speaker 2: the obvious guys that are in commercials and are in
19:05
Speaker 2: movies and stuff.
19:06
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous. So you want to say, what the Chiefs again.
19:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you would complain I've got Chiefs boys.
19:11
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.
19:12
Speaker 4: I mean, and you and look at just the amount
19:15
Speaker 4: of things that are so interesting in this game. You've
19:17
Speaker 4: got two younger head coaches that are just both phenomenal
19:21
Speaker 4: and what they're doing so early in their careers.
19:24
Speaker 2: Sure, that's so fun. Yeah, I mean it's a great matchup.
19:28
Speaker 2: I mean it's a great matchup. Now, do I think
19:29
Speaker 2: there could have been a better AFC team in They're sure,
19:33
Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean that this is some lackluster Super
19:36
Speaker 2: Bowl matchup, And there have been some over the years.
19:39
Speaker 3: But we still watch.
19:41
Speaker 2: We still watch. But yeah, I think that that's I'm
19:43
Speaker 2: not saying that that conversation's off the table if you
19:47
Speaker 2: end up. But the NFL's gone a long way to
19:49
Speaker 2: making sure that no seven seed with a sub five
19:53
Speaker 2: hundred record ever gets to the Super Bowl. Again, look
19:55
Speaker 2: at all the inherent advantages the Seahawks were given when
19:59
Speaker 2: they got the number one seed. They want to make
20:01
Speaker 2: sure that two of the best teams in the National
20:04
Speaker 2: Football League are there so that we can avoid this
20:07
Speaker 2: conversation during Super Bowl weeks. And this is a one
20:12
Speaker 2: seed versus a two seed, an MVP candidate versus the
20:16
Speaker 2: number one defense in the National Football League.
20:19
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know what more you want?
20:21
Speaker 2: What more do you want other than you just want
20:25
Speaker 2: to complain about every stinking thing out there. All right,
20:28
Speaker 2: let's find out what's on tap for the rest of
20:30
Speaker 2: the show. What's on tip? What's on tip? Now, both
20:36
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks are hurt, Then we got another story. Both
20:39
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold and Drake May landed on the injury report
20:43
Speaker 2: this week. Sam we know with the obleak, even though
20:46
Speaker 2: he's played two games with it and hasn't looked affected
20:48
Speaker 2: at all. Drake May popped up on the injury report
20:51
Speaker 2: with a shoulder injury. That one came a little bit
20:54
Speaker 2: more out of left field, so certainly something some things
20:59
Speaker 2: to monitor here over the next nine days. Greg Bell
21:02
Speaker 2: is going to be joining us today. You'll give us
21:04
Speaker 2: the latest at seven o five our Seahawks insider. Seahawks
21:08
Speaker 2: going all blue by the way for the Super Bowl
21:11
Speaker 2: with the available matches, this is my favorite. I wish
21:17
Speaker 2: that they could wear the throwbacks. I wish the Patriots
21:21
Speaker 2: could wear their throwbacks. That would be the all time
21:24
Speaker 2: Super Bowl clothing matchup we've ever seen. But they don't
21:29
Speaker 2: allow it.
21:29
Speaker 3: I know, and I wish they did.
21:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just I don't know why you would think
21:33
Speaker 2: that they would not worry about which uniform you're wearing
21:36
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl and worry more about a stupid
21:39
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame voting process. But nope, we're going to
21:42
Speaker 2: go ahead and make sure that you can only wear
21:45
Speaker 2: these clothes to the Super Bowl. College Basketball Illinois Dispatch
21:51
Speaker 2: to U Doublast. Now you hung in. It was kind
21:53
Speaker 2: of a strange game, like they hung in the entire game,
21:56
Speaker 2: but you never really felt like they were going to
21:58
Speaker 2: win at any moments. But seventy five sixty six the
22:02
Speaker 2: final score. U Dubs off to a rough start in
22:05
Speaker 2: conference play, but in their defense, they have faced a
22:09
Speaker 2: murderous schedule, including Illinois last night. They're playing as well
22:13
Speaker 2: as anyone in the country. So seventy five to sixty
22:16
Speaker 2: six the final. There Dog's at Northwestern tomorrow at five
22:20
Speaker 2: o'clock and the Kraken win again. They've won four out
22:23
Speaker 2: of five, five to two over the Toronto maple Leiefs
22:26
Speaker 2: last night. Shane Wright had two goals. That new number
22:30
Speaker 2: one line had two goals again last night, and Las
22:34
Speaker 2: Vegas is the matchup tomorrow at seven o'clock. So they're
22:38
Speaker 2: on the road for the final three games before the
22:40
Speaker 2: Olympic break, and of course they are going to probably
22:45
Speaker 2: win them all because this is how Laine Lambert coaches.
22:48
Speaker 2: You win ten in a row and then you lose
22:50
Speaker 2: ten in a row. Just to keep everybody on us.
22:52
Speaker 3: It's a roller coaster. That's I'm not loving.
22:57
Speaker 2: Come on now, just just raise your hands and screen
23:00
Speaker 2: you know. That's how you're enjoy doing that. That's how
23:02
Speaker 2: you enjoy a roller coaster. All right? Coming up next,
23:04
Speaker 2: in case you missed it, something from Matt Hasselback Wednesday.
23:09
Speaker 2: Great stuff from him. He's been a regular guest throughout
23:12
Speaker 2: the postseason Wednesdays at eight and we always replay a
23:15
Speaker 2: little bit of it before the week comes to a close.
23:17
Speaker 2: And that's coming your way next on kJ R. Well
23:34
Speaker 2: that's football music I've ever I've heard it, I know,

Speaker 2: have added a new member to the postseason family here
24:20
Speaker 2: at KJAR, and that is Matt Hasselbeck, number eight at
24:24
Speaker 2: eight every Wednesday throughout the postseason. And that was the
24:28
Speaker 2: agreement as long as the Seahawks last in the postseason,
24:31
Speaker 2: we were gonna have Matt Hasselbeck on. He had agreed
24:33
Speaker 2: to come on every Wednesday at eight o'clock and damn
24:36
Speaker 2: if we didn't max out.
24:39
Speaker 4: He really did minimum of two, maximum of six, and
24:42
Speaker 4: we were going for it.
24:43
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something that Ashley Ryan, she figured
24:45
Speaker 2: it out for anybody else. He's like, we're gonna have
24:49
Speaker 2: him for the as our postseason analyst. Makes sense to
24:54
Speaker 2: go all the way to.
24:55
Speaker 3: The supermow Yeah, just the week past. We can talk
24:58
Speaker 3: about after we win it.
24:59
Speaker 4: Yeah.
25:00
Speaker 2: Ah, smart, really really smart.
25:02
Speaker 5: I think it was good of you to let the
25:05
Speaker 5: Seahawks players know, like, hey, you know, we're spending a
25:07
Speaker 5: little bit of money to this guy on If you guys,
25:10
Speaker 5: could you know, get the maximum amount of it that
25:13
Speaker 5: would be the best for all of us.
25:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was our cheer. I left team practice. We
25:17
Speaker 4: all went in and we were like maximum.
25:19
Speaker 2: Oh good call, oh maximum? Oh yeah, I actually kind
25:23
Speaker 2: of like that. Yeah as a cheer, You're welcome. Well
25:26
Speaker 2: this Wednesday, of course, So we talked to Matt about
25:30
Speaker 2: raising the flag or at least being on the podium
25:32
Speaker 2: with Jody when they raised the flag, you know, being
25:35
Speaker 2: a celebrity and whatnot. Returning home to the NFC Conference
25:39
Speaker 2: Championship game. We talked about all manner of things with
25:43
Speaker 2: Matt Hasselback. But the part we're going to isolate for
25:46
Speaker 2: you here this morning, in case you missed it, We're
25:49
Speaker 2: going to start where the conversation moved toward the quarterback
25:53
Speaker 2: Sam Donald. I asked, Matt, what were your thoughts about
25:57
Speaker 2: Sam Donald the day that he signed with the Seahawks,
26:00
Speaker 2: and what are your thoughts about Sam Donald right now?
26:03
Speaker 6: He had a great year last year. I was really
26:05
Speaker 6: impressed with his year last year. I was really surprised
26:07
Speaker 6: the Minnesota Vikings chose to not choose not to sign
26:10
Speaker 6: him back. I was really shocked. And when he signed here,
26:13
Speaker 6: he signed for a huge contract. They you know, they
26:16
Speaker 6: said goodbye to a bunch of people here, said goodbye
26:18
Speaker 6: to Gino Smith.
26:19
Speaker 7: And I said, you know, I really thought this was
26:21
Speaker 7: a good idea. It's a really good idea.
26:23
Speaker 6: Is a good young quarterback that has some scars from
26:25
Speaker 6: the past. You don't have to go through the growing
26:27
Speaker 6: pains with him because he's already gone through those growing pains.
26:30
Speaker 6: But I really felt like he was gonna need to
26:33
Speaker 6: do it consistently, which he'd been doing in Minnesota, but
26:37
Speaker 6: he was gonna need to do it in a playoff
26:38
Speaker 6: game and a playoff atmosphere in order to kind of
26:43
Speaker 6: quiet the haters that still look at him like he's
26:45
Speaker 6: Sam Donald, the rookie that played for the Jets and
26:49
Speaker 6: he got the opportunity. And I just think I think
26:52
Speaker 6: he's answered it. Like I think he's answered all those questions.
26:54
Speaker 6: I think he's quieted all those you know, people in
26:56
Speaker 6: New York that just like, oh, yeah, I know him,
26:59
Speaker 6: you know, Like, no, you don't know, you don't know him.
27:01
Speaker 6: You know, this is a guy that's improved. He's with
27:03
Speaker 6: a play caller that he really jives with. And if
27:07
Speaker 6: we can keep play caller quarterback together, obviously we've got
27:12
Speaker 6: GM head coach, you know.
27:13
Speaker 7: If you kind of get.
27:14
Speaker 6: That little I call it a triad GM head coach quarterback.
27:18
Speaker 6: But I think what's really important is you keep this
27:20
Speaker 6: quarterback in this system with this guy. You know, I
27:24
Speaker 6: think the Seahawk can be really really good for a
27:26
Speaker 6: long time.
27:27
Speaker 2: I'm with you.
27:27
Speaker 5: I mean, the idea of him doing what he's done
27:29
Speaker 5: this year in the first year with Clint Kubiak in
27:32
Speaker 5: the first year as a Seahawk after first year with
27:36
Speaker 5: the Minnesota Vikings. I think is commendable and it's something
27:38
Speaker 5: that you could probably understand far more. I mean, how
27:41
Speaker 5: difficult is it. How much more credit do you give
27:44
Speaker 5: him as a former quarterback considering he's doing this and
27:47
Speaker 5: it's not the third year in the same system or
27:50
Speaker 5: fourth year in the same system with that triad that
27:52
Speaker 5: you're talking about.
27:54
Speaker 6: Well, I give John Schneider and Mike McDonald a lot
27:57
Speaker 6: of credit because it's you know, it's a different team,
28:00
Speaker 6: but it kind of is the same playbook. You know,
28:03
Speaker 6: this is the forty nine Ers playbook that Kyle Shanahan
28:06
Speaker 6: was running when Klint Kubiak was an assistant coach and
28:10
Speaker 6: Sam Darnold was a backup quarterback. And then he loves
28:13
Speaker 6: that system so much and he loves how they teach
28:16
Speaker 6: it and the lens that they teach it through that
28:18
Speaker 6: he goes to Minnesota to be a backup, you know,
28:21
Speaker 6: for their first round pick quarterback, but he wants to
28:24
Speaker 6: you know, play under in that system under Kevin O'Connell.
28:27
Speaker 6: You know, another guy that's kind of a Shanahan McVeigh
28:29
Speaker 6: type guy, and then he realizes, like, hey, you know
28:32
Speaker 6: like that this is important.
28:34
Speaker 7: I love this.
28:34
Speaker 6: This is my favorite system, my favorite offense. Who else
28:38
Speaker 6: is running that system? Well, it wasn't the Seahawks and
28:41
Speaker 6: Ryan Grubb at the time, but all of a sudden,
28:44
Speaker 6: it was the Seahawks and Clint Kubiak, who he had
28:46
Speaker 6: a relationship with already helped him. You know, Klink Kubiak
28:50
Speaker 6: helped the Seahawks recruit Sam to Seattle because he was
28:53
Speaker 6: a free agent, could have gone anywhere. And so now
28:56
Speaker 6: he's back in that system that suits him so well
28:59
Speaker 6: with a guy that you know he's got a pre
29:01
Speaker 6: existing relationship with. When when you know, once upon a time,
29:04
Speaker 6: it was you know, Shanahan and Purdy were like the guys,
29:08
Speaker 6: and those were the sort of the backup to the guys.
29:10
Speaker 6: Now they're the guys, and so like, I just think,
29:13
Speaker 6: like putting your staff together, recruiting.
29:16
Speaker 7: Your players, your quarterback.
29:19
Speaker 6: You know, someone upstairs gets the credit for that, And
29:22
Speaker 6: I got to think it's John Schneider, and it's Mike McDonald,
29:25
Speaker 6: and you know, it's.
29:26
Speaker 7: It's kind of a match made in heaven.
29:28
Speaker 2: Matt Hasselbeck is with us here on the program. Have
29:32
Speaker 2: you did you ever play with a receiver as smooth
29:34
Speaker 2: as Jsn? I mean, he's like he's the Scotch. I
29:37
Speaker 2: can't afford that's how smooth he is.
29:41
Speaker 7: I like that he's that. I mean, has anybody played
29:45
Speaker 7: with anybody like Jasn?
29:46
Speaker 2: I do?
29:47
Speaker 6: I don't know, you know, like some people ask me
29:49
Speaker 6: to do a like, hey, who does he remind you of?
29:52
Speaker 2: Who is he? Like?
29:53
Speaker 6: Give us a comp And it's almost disrespectful to his
29:56
Speaker 6: game because he's so he's so so much of a unicorn,
30:00
Speaker 6: Like he's just, uh, you know, he's got the smoothness
30:03
Speaker 6: of a Terry Glenn if if you remember that name.
30:06
Speaker 6: And uh, he's just effortless though, And I think he's
30:09
Speaker 6: so confident, he's patient.
30:11
Speaker 7: That one handed catch.
30:12
Speaker 6: On the sideline was like happened right in front of me,
30:15
Speaker 6: and it was, uh, I mean, it's like.
30:18
Speaker 7: I don't think it's a player I'll ever forget.
30:20
Speaker 6: It was just incredible, and uh, it was such an
30:23
Speaker 6: important play too, so to go one handed like that
30:26
Speaker 6: reminded me of a touchdown pass I threw to Jerry
30:28
Speaker 6: Rice against the Jets one time. It was a running play.
30:31
Speaker 6: I audibled. Michael Lonkran hated when I audibled. I audibled
30:34
Speaker 6: to a pass. I'm like, dude, I'm teammates with Jerry Rice.
30:37
Speaker 6: He's one on one, like, come on, let's just let's
30:39
Speaker 6: give it a run. And it wasn't that open, but
30:43
Speaker 6: it was an amazing like one handed catch, and uh,
30:47
Speaker 6: it reminded me so much of the catch that JSN had.
30:51
Speaker 6: There's only like maybe a handful of people on the
30:53
Speaker 6: planet that would choose to try that way to catch
30:56
Speaker 6: the ball in that kind of a moment and do
30:59
Speaker 6: it with such you know, no effort, just so confident
31:03
Speaker 6: he's got that infector.
31:04
Speaker 2: Matt Hasselback with us number eight at eight and you
31:08
Speaker 2: can what's funny.
31:10
Speaker 4: I started trying to count you down and then I
31:11
Speaker 4: just my fingers just frozen.
31:13
Speaker 2: Two and a half.
31:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I and then I was worried about the music.
31:17
Speaker 4: And then I realized I just had my hand up here,
31:18
Speaker 4: and I was like, oh, that was weird, all right.
31:20
Speaker 2: Coming back at you and five four claw claw, claw,
31:25
Speaker 2: You're up?
31:25
Speaker 3: What's she doing?
31:27
Speaker 2: Matt Hasselback. If you want to hear the entire conversation,
31:30
Speaker 2: it was twenty minutes in length. You can do so
31:32
Speaker 2: on our podcast ninety three three KJR dot com. He's
31:35
Speaker 2: been in an excellent edition. If I have one criticism
31:38
Speaker 2: of him, name dropper, I mean, did you hear all
31:40
Speaker 2: of that? Yeah, It's like when I was teammates with
31:43
Speaker 2: Jerry Rice and Coach Holmgren used to always say this, yeah, yeah,
31:48
Speaker 2: I get it a big deal. You know people, Yeah,
31:54
Speaker 2: if you guys know this, he actually is a big deal.
31:56
Speaker 2: JSN was right in front of me. It was right
32:00
Speaker 2: in front of me.
32:01
Speaker 3: He was performing a lot of other people too.
32:04
Speaker 2: Man. So I don't know, I mean a minute ten
32:08
Speaker 2: out of ten our experience with Matt. But if I
32:10
Speaker 2: just offer a little bit of criticisms seem to d
32:13
Speaker 2: he may ever tell you that Paul McCartney told me
32:16
Speaker 2: a long time ago, ever drop names. Yeah, it's just
32:20
Speaker 2: really tacky. Yeah, something that just shouldn't be done. Yeah.
32:24
Speaker 5: Good, good advice for your friend Paul McCartney.
32:28
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, what were you doing when he told you that?
32:31
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, hanging out with the pool Yeah yeah.
32:34
Speaker 2: And and you know John Lennon was right there writing
32:37
Speaker 2: music together. That's cool. Yeah three all right? Coming up
32:44
Speaker 2: next on the radio program, you know what I'm gonna do.
32:48
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call a little change up here. And you
32:51
Speaker 2: know where change ups are found. You know what sport
32:53
Speaker 2: you can find changes, So soft Lefties, Yeah, we're gonna
32:59
Speaker 2: have Amy Moyer on next. No, let's talk some Mariners baseball.
33:04
Speaker 2: Let's just squeeze it in. We got a big guest
33:05
Speaker 2: coming up later on Softy Show. There's a lot of
33:08
Speaker 2: things floating around. I mean, today we're going to talk
33:10
Speaker 2: mostly super Bowl sixty, but I think we can squeeze
33:13
Speaker 2: in a little Mariners baseball because there are some interesting
33:16
Speaker 2: things going on right now and we just hadn't had
33:18
Speaker 2: time to talk about them all week long. So keep
33:21
Speaker 2: it here. It's Chucking Buck Sports Radio ninety three point
33:23
Speaker 2: three KJRFM, So let's talk a little bit of baseball
33:26
Speaker 2: top of the hour. We'll have your headlines, your cash word,
33:29
Speaker 2: and then Greg Bell seven oh five of the latest
33:31
Speaker 2: injury information for the Seahawks, and all sorts of other
33:35
Speaker 2: topics that we will discuss as we count down the
33:37
Speaker 2: days to Super Bowl sixty right here on Chuck and
33:39
Speaker 2: Buck in the mornings. But Jerry Depoto's going to be
33:41
Speaker 2: on with Softy and Dick today at three point twenty,
33:45
Speaker 2: so you'll certainly want to tune in to hear from
33:48
Speaker 2: the mastermind, Jerry Depoto here at three twenty today, And
33:54
Speaker 2: right now the hot stove is completely clogged again. This
33:58
Speaker 2: has happened a few times this offseason, and for the Mariners,
34:03
Speaker 2: they haven't made a move, and it feels like sixteen
34:06
Speaker 2: and a half years. But there's kind of a reason
34:11
Speaker 2: for it, as from what I'm hearing, From what I'm understanding,
34:14
Speaker 2: they really do like Bucky. This Brendan Donovan, They really
34:18
Speaker 2: do want him, you know, and I like him. I've
34:20
Speaker 2: said it over and over. I think he could be
34:22
Speaker 2: an asset on this team. I get why they won him.
34:24
Speaker 2: It's just it sounds like the Cardinals have just been
34:26
Speaker 2: driving way too hard a bargain, way overvaluing him. And
34:31
Speaker 2: that could be just Saint Louis podcasters pumping out silly trades.
34:38
Speaker 2: You know, we have silly trades all the time on
34:40
Speaker 2: the internet. They might not be anything two of them.
34:42
Speaker 2: But one thing I do know, one thing I do
34:44
Speaker 2: know for fact, is that it's Saint Louis just really
34:47
Speaker 2: dragging its feet on all of this. Like they have
34:50
Speaker 2: made it clear that he's out there, and yet they're not.
34:55
Speaker 2: Usually people respond in a timely fashion, and I guess
34:59
Speaker 2: they're not, and so make no mistake about it. They
35:04
Speaker 2: want Brendan Donovan on this team, and they've made their offer.
35:09
Speaker 2: They're just not gonna sweeten it, and they're waiting to
35:12
Speaker 2: hear back from the Saint Louis Cardinals on whether or
35:15
Speaker 2: not their offer is good enough. So they've driven, they've
35:17
Speaker 2: drawn their line in the sand. We want the player.
35:19
Speaker 2: We feel we've made an aggressive offer. I don't know
35:22
Speaker 2: what that offer is. I hope it's not two top
35:25
Speaker 2: ten prospects. I'll tell you that, because I don't think
35:27
Speaker 2: he's worth it. But make no mistake about it, they're interested,
35:30
Speaker 2: They've made an offer, and it's simply a waiting game
35:34
Speaker 2: for the Saint Louis Cardinals to actually return a phone call.
35:36
Speaker 5: Well, I think there's other teams that are interested in
35:39
Speaker 5: him as well. And I read a story yesterday and
35:42
Speaker 5: it was talking about how what's his name played for
35:48
Speaker 5: us More, Dylan Moore is kind of on the radar
35:52
Speaker 5: for the Red Sox. Possibly if they were to give
35:56
Speaker 5: him a shot, then maybe that would take the Red Sox.
35:58
Speaker 2: Who's another team that's been to. Are a lot of
36:02
Speaker 2: teams that are interested in the player, right, and so
36:05
Speaker 2: if I think says a lot about the player, yeah,
36:07
Speaker 2: I think that's probably why they're dragging their feet. They've
36:10
Speaker 2: probably heard from everybody that here's our bottom line offer,
36:13
Speaker 2: take it or leave it, and they're like, well, we'll
36:15
Speaker 2: just wait. We'll just wait and see if one of
36:17
Speaker 2: you gets a little bit more antsy as maybe other
36:20
Speaker 2: chips fall and you think, okay, well I'll sweeten it
36:23
Speaker 2: a little bit.
36:24
Speaker 5: It's that game of poker. Who's gonna cave first? But
36:27
Speaker 5: it doesn't sound like the Mariners are going any further
36:29
Speaker 5: than what they've already offered.
36:30
Speaker 2: And what they like is his versatility, Like we can
36:33
Speaker 2: put him at third. If Williamson right now is the
36:36
Speaker 2: third basement. If Williamson doesn't, he'll be a third baseman,
36:39
Speaker 2: or if Cole Young great, then he could be our
36:43
Speaker 2: second basement and he could be the DH and he
36:46
Speaker 2: can play the outfield. So the versatility that he gives
36:49
Speaker 2: them the ability to put the ball in play. They
36:52
Speaker 2: are very interested in Brendan Donova. That has not been
36:55
Speaker 2: exaggerated at all. Another part of this is, well, are
36:59
Speaker 2: all your eggs in the Brendon Donovan basket. Really no,
37:02
Speaker 2: they're not. But I do believe that they're waiting to
37:05
Speaker 2: hear back from the Cardinals before they come back around
37:08
Speaker 2: to Gino Suarez, who's not getting the offers that you
37:12
Speaker 2: would think a guy that at forty nine home runs
37:14
Speaker 2: last year would receive. And so I think Gino and
37:18
Speaker 2: his agent are having to come to grips with having
37:21
Speaker 2: make a lot less money than they thought they were
37:23
Speaker 2: going to get on the market and then trying to
37:26
Speaker 2: figure out, all right, for sentimental reasons, how much do
37:29
Speaker 2: I really want to stay with Seattle. I'm not sure
37:32
Speaker 2: there's even an offer on the table there for Gino Suarez.
37:34
Speaker 2: They think they're letting the Donovan thing play out here
37:38
Speaker 2: and the reason that they feel they can be patient,
37:41
Speaker 2: and this, to me is the biggest story we're going
37:43
Speaker 2: to discuss. They do not want to get in the
37:47
Speaker 2: path of Colt Emerson. Adam Jude went on with Perzinski
37:51
Speaker 2: and Craft on their podcast just this week. They do
37:56
Speaker 2: not want to get in the path of Colt Emerson.
37:58
Speaker 2: He's twenty years old, he's the number six prospect and
38:02
Speaker 2: the sport in some rankings. Uh, and they think that
38:05
Speaker 2: there's a chance that he might be their best option
38:09
Speaker 2: at third base, not only at some point during the season, Bucky,
38:13
Speaker 2: but maybe he's going to win the job coming out
38:16
Speaker 2: of spring training. That's how high they are on cold Emerson. Yeah,
38:19
Speaker 2: and understandably so.
38:20
Speaker 5: I mean we've got to talk to him a little
38:23
Speaker 5: bit the last couple of years, and he seems like
38:24
Speaker 5: a kid that's got his head on his shoulders straight.
38:26
Speaker 5: Now there's he continues to grow when he keeps getting
38:30
Speaker 5: moved up.
38:30
Speaker 2: He hasn't.
38:31
Speaker 5: He's yet to find a level that he gets moved
38:33
Speaker 5: up to and that he doesn't adjust to. When he
38:35
Speaker 5: got called up to Triple A last year, he kind
38:37
Speaker 5: of hit the ground run and was raking. Uh, he
38:40
Speaker 5: can pick it. Obviously. I think that he is a
38:42
Speaker 5: future piece. It's just there's part of me that when
38:45
Speaker 5: it comes to cold Emerson, he's probably number one on
38:48
Speaker 5: the list of what I'm excited about out of the
38:51
Speaker 5: young guys because I've seen I haven't seen him at
38:53
Speaker 5: the big league level. I've seen Ben Williamson. I love
38:55
Speaker 5: what he does defensively. The bad is still suspect to me.
38:59
Speaker 5: He got a lot of little bloopy hits. The ones
39:03
Speaker 5: that he had, and you know, there's still room for
39:06
Speaker 5: growth there. So it's not like me saying that a
39:07
Speaker 5: kid can't hit, can't be our third basement. That's not
39:10
Speaker 5: what I think. Young I think actually has a lot
39:13
Speaker 5: upside offensively and defensively as well. But I don't want
39:16
Speaker 5: to get too terribly far into expecting three young guys
39:22
Speaker 5: to be or two and a half young guys. Yeah,
39:25
Speaker 5: so that's what I want him to do. And then
39:27
Speaker 5: but also not close the doors on those two positions
39:31
Speaker 5: to where you're not allowing one of these guys to
39:33
Speaker 5: grow and flourish and possibly turn into the dude.
39:35
Speaker 2: They're going to add a veteran. I'm just all I'm
39:37
Speaker 2: saying is that they would like to add a veteran
39:41
Speaker 2: that doesn't block Emerson when they feel he's ready. Right,
39:45
Speaker 2: So that so if Gino is your DH or maybe
39:49
Speaker 2: your third basement at the start of the season, that
39:52
Speaker 2: you could move to DH and then when Emerson's ready
39:56
Speaker 2: to go, or if Emerson just does win the job
39:58
Speaker 2: out of camp, then you can put Geno at DH immediately,
40:01
Speaker 2: where Donovan you can move around the field and at
40:04
Speaker 2: the very worst, he is a super utility player. For
40:07
Speaker 2: you that you have at your disposal, and that also
40:11
Speaker 2: would not block Emerson. So that's kind of the dance
40:14
Speaker 2: that they're making. I think that they I've heard they're
40:16
Speaker 2: in on CJ. Abrams, which is somebody that I've brought
40:19
Speaker 2: up quite a bit in our Hot Stove podcast at
40:22
Speaker 2: Anders and I, which is a young talent, ridiculous young
40:26
Speaker 2: talent from the Washington Nationals. Same thing. He might be
40:29
Speaker 2: your starting second basement. You might have to trade Cole
40:31
Speaker 2: Young in order to get him to be your starting
40:34
Speaker 2: second basement. So all of those things are on the table.
40:37
Speaker 2: And then I've just mentioned a couple of other just
40:40
Speaker 2: quick things. Bucky's penned a tribute to Rick Riz that
40:44
Speaker 2: you might want to read. Yeah, and we'll do a
40:47
Speaker 2: little bit on that a little later on in the show.
40:49
Speaker 2: But it is available there on x and also on
40:52
Speaker 2: our website. Good luck finding it. And then also Brad
40:57
Speaker 2: Adam I had lunch with and you'll be yesterday and
40:59
Speaker 2: you'll be happy to know that he just looks like
41:01
Speaker 2: he's in game shape. Oh yeah, already his hair hair, well,
41:08
Speaker 2: he had a hat on. He deprived me of seeing
41:10
Speaker 2: the good stuff.
41:11
Speaker 3: Well we saw the hair though, at media Happy Hour.
41:14
Speaker 2: That's true. I didn't see it. It was.
41:16
Speaker 4: I meant it was as good as you'd expect.
41:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just every Strand.
41:21
Speaker 2: Present it's Brad. I mean his hair. Does it lifts
41:26
Speaker 2: in the off season?
41:27
Speaker 1: Yeah?
41:27
Speaker 4: I bet it's not shoved down by the marine layer,
41:30
Speaker 4: which is weird.
41:31
Speaker 5: No, no, he doesn't comb his hair.
41:34
Speaker 2: He just lifts a comb with his hair. Headlines and
