• 1:17
  Speaker 2: morning to you, and welcome into the radio program. We
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: did it. We got on air on time today. It
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: is Chuck and Ashley with you Sports Radio ninety three
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: point three k j R FM. You know, the reason
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: that I point this stuff out is because honestly, people
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: really do blame me. Ashley Anders, who's pinch hitting poor guy?
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Yesterday for technical difficulties, like we did something wrong. I
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: mean they really do. I know this radio business. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: get it, Yeah, for a long period of time, even
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: though we have nothing to do with it, no control
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: over it whatsoever. And so I there's like this industry
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: expectation that when you do have technical difficulties, oh, you
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: just don't mention it. Don't, don't, don't, don't let the
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: audience know what's going going on behind the curtain. No,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: because I'm in front of the curtain and I'm not
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: going to let them think that I screwed things up.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair. I don't want to do that.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Sound fair. Yeah.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I don't want to be like, oh, we can't talk
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: about it, because then it's going to make me look bad. No,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: let's talk about it so it doesn't make me look
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: bad exactly.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And poor Anders he's like running around yesterday and he
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: thinks like I need him to come on the air
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: with me, and I'm like, dude, I've been doing this
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: for thirty five years. I don't need you to come
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: on air with me. I need to be able to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: hear myself and trust that I'm actually being heard over
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the airwaves. And right now, I don't think that I
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: am being heard over the air waves. So anyway, that's
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: what you missed yesterday on your day off. But it's
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: nice that we actually have somebody competent here running the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: show today.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I didn't want to say anything kidding. Anders you
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: have adorable dimples.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they don't help with technical issues, I'll tell
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: you that much. I certainly didn't the dimple clause that
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: was not put into effect to try to get us
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: magically on the air on time Yees.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Show, and that's unfair to and then Wow, it should
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: be put in there.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I think maybe, I think maybe we could be powered
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: by Andrews dimples. It's got to work better than what
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: we've been using.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Got to work better than that generator.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you and welcome into the radio show.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: We got a lot planned for you today. Ashley Ryan
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: is back from her field trip. My name is Chuck Powell.

  Speaker 2: every single hour throughout our time together here on this Friday.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: How was the field trip?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: The field trip was interesting. We'll just say I think
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: we were in the bus on the road as long
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: as we were at the field.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: The trip took longer than the time on the field. Correct.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, yes, yes, but I mean shout out to you, dub.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: They put a whole thing together.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I mean it is.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: There are just booths everywhere. They've got robotics. They've got
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: all sorts of cool things, things that you don't even
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: think of, you know that, you you know, just ways
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: to make it all fun for the kids. They had bubbles,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: they had putty making, they had bracelet making.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: They had.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: You could count em and m's and then got the
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: m and ms. The kids really liked that one. There
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: was an ice clad things.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Count them. You just count them and leave them there.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: No, you got to get a cup and to guess
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: how many green ones were in your cup.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: But without looking, you got to eat all them, the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: green ones, and they did. They had like bouncy balls,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the really really bouncy ones.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: They were freezing them and then shattering them on the ground,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: and just all sorts of cool things for the kids
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: to see the only problem was it was so crowded
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: that and we only had such a short amount of
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: time there.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: The kids got to do three tables. That was it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Mm out of the one hundred there.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Yeah. The good news about this is
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: that the ride on the bus, if I remember correctly,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: if I can re enter myself as eight year old Chuck, yes,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and I went by Magic back in those days. Yeah,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: if I could re enter myself as eight year old Magic,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: then I think the bus ride. Just getting out of
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: school and going on the bus ride, it was like
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: you were getting away with something. It was like you
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: were pulling off the perfect crime, because even your friend's
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: parents were there and they were okay with you ditching school,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: riding on the bus with your friends. You got I
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: never got to take my lunch to school, So I
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: keep bringing up that sack lunch because that was that
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: was something special. We never got to do that. Yeah,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: and so that that actually probably was what Palmer the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Great and all of her friends liked the most, even
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: though it took longer to get there. It's like being
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: a professional athlete in Seattle. It took longer to get there, oh,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: than it did to play the actual game. Yeah, but yeah,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: even though that occurred, they probably had a.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Ball, had a blast, Yeah, she said, Mom, the bus
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: ride was the best part.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I said, all right, well, I'm glad you thought that well.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: And at the same time, they were outside it was
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: sunny walking around a college campus where Palmer the Great
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: wants to go.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, what more could you ask for. You're
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: not in a.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Classroom, hey, by the way, not to jump ahead, and
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: not to get you thinking about what's to come in
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: your future with a teenage daughter someday. Right, But did
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you in school? I don't know if this was just
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: something we did in the Midwest because most you know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: most dads had shotguns. But when we got to like
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: high school age, it started a little bit in junior
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: high when you went on road trips, the sneaking back
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: your girlfriend, Oh, would sneak back to you on the
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: bus so you could do a little kissy face there
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: on the bus. Once we got to high school, that
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: was pretty much happening every time. I think they even knew.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: But the sneak did that happen in your high school days?
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Junior high?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Chuck, I'm gonna tell you if it did, I was
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: not aware of it because.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Nobody who wanted to make out with me?
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Oh please, Oh, I promise you it is not a lie.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: It is you didn't know it was, Okay, even if
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: that is true, which I don't believe that's true.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not lying, I promise, Okay.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Well, you didn't notice island.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I was the number D Susophone big two.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Oh so even like on band trips, you didn't take
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the sneak back. You didn't notice others doing it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: You know what, Chuck, I'd love to tell you I
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: know about that, but not even the people.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: In the band wanted to make out with me.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I don't what about the really appealing people though? Did
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: they do it?
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they did.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I'm just trying to think of like what trips like,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: because we didn't really do any field trips or anything
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: like that in high school.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: You didn't go like to the football game and take
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the band of the football game or anything like that.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: No, because the band never traveled. We always stayed there.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I mean we did stuff where we'd like I remember
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: they bussed us to state tournament for basketball to watch
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: the team and things like that.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I don't recall a lot.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Of people making out on the bus, right, Well, maybe
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I need help four nine four five one.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: If you, like me, were popular in.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: High school, Yeah, that's a good idea. Talk to those people.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Is this something that happened in your high school days
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: or not? Or was that just something we did in
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: the Midwest, like I said, because you know, there weren't
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of opportunities and apparently our coaches didn't mind. Yeah,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: because you knew, they knew what was going on. But
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: it was it was just something. It was the standard.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, things were more fun in the Midwest, clearly.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it was fun. And then you you know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the strategy to calculate it and figure out how you
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: were gonna get it done. And then once you did
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: get it finally done, like you pulled off the perfect crime.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: It was. It was It's part of growing up in
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the Midwest. I'll tell you that, Mom, happy for you, Well,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: thank you well. Speaking of the Midwest, what a night
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: last night in the state of Minnesota. Let's face it,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Minnesotans don't have a lot to cheer about, and they
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: haven't exactly had the richest history of professional sports success.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Their football team, you know, the Super Bowl has been
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: pretty elusive, even though they've had good teams over the years.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: And then you've got a basketball team that has been
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a kind of a running joke for most of its history.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: It's changed here recently, which is great. Yes, and a
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: hockey team. They still want to be the North Stars,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and yet they're the Wild and because Dallas took their
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: hockey Dallas took Minnesota's professional hockey team, and I don't
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: know if they've ever really gotten over that. And so
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the Wild aren't exactly brought up every time you bring
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: up hockey powerhouses. And so yeah, and the Twins they've
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: had some success, but it's not like ever been a
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: dynasty or anything like that. So far. Last night, to
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: have them have two teams on the same night, being
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the underdog role, be up in a series against heavily
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: favored teams, and to pull off upsets both of them
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: within minutes apart. What a night for Minnesota last night
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: as they Wild and the Timberwolves both pull off Wild
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: and timber Wolfe upsets last night.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Wolf, Yeah, it was.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: It was fantastic for them. It was a very interesting
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: night in the playoffs with the NBA and NHL of
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: course sharing this time of the year, but we're to
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: that stage in the first round where we're getting eliminations
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: every night, and the teams and players that got eliminated
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: last night insane. I mean, you could argue that the
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: best basketball player in the world and the best hockey
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: player in the world were both eliminated from the playoffs
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you could make that argument, absolutely, And it was
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: it's the wild especially because you know, we do that
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Green Jacket previewer and we didn't talk a lot about
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: that Wild Stars series because none of us knew what
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: was gonna happen, because it just seemed like it was
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: going to be such a good matchup. It was like, well,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know which one of them is going to
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: eliminate the other one, and I'm not going to make
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: a guess. I'm just gonna guess on the team they
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: might play next. I'm still kicking myself. I didn't take
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Matt Boldie. I almost did, but I didn't have confidence
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: that they were going to beat all We're gonna be
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Dallas because I either not that I didn't think they
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: weren't good enough to do it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: It's just a crazy series. But what an entertaining series.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: It was great.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was. It was good. And then then
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: you had Anna. Well, then you had Anaheim taken out
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Edmonton last night, and then Minnesota. I mean, what a
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: story for the Timberwolves too. I mean, not only did
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: you pull off an upset that none of us when
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: we did our Green Jacket draft, including Spencer Hawes. I mean,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: that was one of the teams I brought up. Hey,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: nobody drafted Aunt Edwards and Spencer. Spencer's reaction to it was, yeah,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's much of a chance that they're
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: going to last very long in all of this. Okay,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: so we're already with a healthy Aunt Edwards thinking that
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the Timberwolves don't have much of a chance against the Nuggets,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: and then they lost Aunt Edwards and then the guy
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: that replaces him, former Aline I I you Desnu Desomnu,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: he comes in and now all of a sudden, he's like,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: oh wow, okay, he's really filling Aunt Edward's shoes, and
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: then he gets hurt. So last night they've got to
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: turn to another former Illinois player, Terren Shannon Junr, so
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: their third string Aunt takes the court last night, and
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: then he plays well, he balls out, and the Timberwolves
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: end up winning in upset fashion. Working on their third
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: string Aunt against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets last night,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: just in reddible. And you know, there are a lot
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: of people, a lot of people out there, and I
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: think that you're just dug in on this and you
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: don't I don't know if you're paying as close attention
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: as you should to be making your statement and to
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: live in this world. There are a lot of people
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: just don't think that NBA players give effort. Well, you
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: needed to watch that game last night to cleanse your
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: soul of that belief, because that's about as hard as
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: you can play the game of basketball. With the Timberwolves
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: played last night to win that game at home, I mean,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: you felt like, there's no way they're going to win
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: a game seven if they have any chance, because that
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: would have been back in Denver. If they have any chance,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: it's probably got to come tonight. But how are they
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: possibly going to win tonight? They had eight total players,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: They only had eight players available to them last night.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: And what did the Timberwolves do? They took the Nuggets
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: legs out from underneath them and end up pulling off
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the upset in six games. I don't think they have
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: a shot neel against the Spurs in the next round
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: unless they get really healthy, really fast. But man, applaud
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the Timberwolves last night because that was sheer, grit, determination,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: fierceness from the Wolves last night to upset the Nuggets
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: and knock them out of the playoffs.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's pretty impressive what they were able to do,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: especially because after the Game four when Aunt Edwards went
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: out and then they go to Game five and it
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: was all Denver and you thought, oh, now this is
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: how the rest of the series is going to go,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: because there's no way that Minnesota can possibly match up
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: against Denver without Edwards. And then for them to come
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: out last night and do that, I was very impressed.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they did it with the second string guy
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: in won a game, and then they did it with
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: a third string guy. And I'll tell you who's really impressive.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: And somebody might have to correct me again on the
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: text line at four nine four five one. But fetti ways,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Jaden McDaniels, correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't we have
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: issues with him kind of looking like he didn't even
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: want to be on the court at U DUB. Weren't
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: their effort and energy and interest issues with Jaden McDaniels,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: like he was on the team with Isaiah Stewart, and
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Isaiah Stewart was fierce and would eat somebody's heart out,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: and yet Jaden did McDaniels, who was a five star talent,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: It just didn't seem to match that intensity that Stuart
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: played with. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: that's the Jaden McDaniels that I remember suiting up for
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: you Dub, and I never dreamed. I mean, the talent
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: was clear. I never dreamed that seven years later, however
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: long it's been, I would be watching an NBA playoff
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: game and be thinking to myself, that is the fiercest
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: warrior in the entire league. That guy, Jade McDaniels a
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: FEEDI way, I mean, that guy is an animal. We
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: already knew that he was elite defensively. That's what he
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: turned into at the end level. And you don't become
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: elite defensively in the NBA unless you just have die
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: hard passion to be elite defensively. So here, I have
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: a guy that I remember it you dub wondering does
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: he have enough passion for the game, And now suddenly
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I'm watching somebody that might outshine everyone's passion in the
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: entire league. And then on top of it, he's developed
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: into a really good offensive player as well. He's a
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: fantastic two way player. And last night, with all of
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: that Aunt Edwards injury turmoil, eight guys, Jaden McDaniels just says,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: hop on my back, I'm going to score thirty two points,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get ten rebounds. I'm going to continue
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: to take Jamal Murray completely out of this series. And
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Jamal Murray is famous for being better in the playoffs
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: than he is during the regular season. And Jade McDaniels just,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, even going back to the scrum he had
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: with Yoki and that look that became famous on social
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: media where he just grabbed him by the jersey and
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Jokich is angry and looks like he wants to punch
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: him in the face and McDaniel's just got him by
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the jersey, just smiling like the joker, just looking him
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: right in the look at the joker in the eye
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: and out jokering him. I mean, he has turned into
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: a warrior. He's just a menace on the court. I mean,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: he is a great basketball player. And I'm not sure
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: that the guy that I watched at you Dub I
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: ever thought was going to turn into a great all
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: around basketball player at the NBA level. But that's where
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: he is right now. Good on him.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the two five three texted in McDaniels whined too
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: much at you Dub. He was certainly hard to watch
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: and root for us. Oh yeah, so you weren't imagining
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: when you said it. I was like, oh, that rings
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: a bell.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: But I I mean there were games where it was like,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: where's McDaniels, Like he's supposed to be our most talented player.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: I mean that to go from that to what I'm
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: watching right now, I mean, you, your person is kind
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: of established as a human being or as a competitor
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: by the time you're eight, nineteen twenty years old. I mean,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I think so it usually is. I don't know what
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: got through to him, Who got through to him, what
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: happened in his life for him to say I mean,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: it didn't take long. In the NBA he kind of
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: embraced this I'm a defensive stopper role and I don't
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: know what happened, but man, he's gone to a level
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: where it's like that guy wants it more than anybody where.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: When he was at U DUB, I thought often does
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: this guy want to even be out here? And now
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: he may want to win more than any professional basketball
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: player in the game. It has been a hell of
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: a transformation. Kudos to you, young man. You've turned into
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: one fantastic basketball player. And if not for him, they
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: had no shot against the Nuggets. I don't care what
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Shannon did last night. I don't care what Io did
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: the game two games ago. I mean, they're Illinois guys,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: so I got a little bit of a special place
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: in my heart for them and was happy to see
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: what they did. But that series was Jaden McDaniels willing
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: the Timberwolves over the best player in the world and
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: the Denver Nuggets right before our eyes.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, very and good for them. I do hope
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: they can at least make it a series against San Antonio.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I do too, but that kind of fight, you know, No,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna rule it out, but that's an even
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: bigger mismatch than what Denver was supposed to be. Yeah,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: all right, we're all underway here on this Friday. Let's
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: find out what's on tap for the show. What's on
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: te what's onte? All right? So, yes, the Timberwolves upset
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: the Denver Nuggets last night. We also saw the Atlanta
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: how Hawks get ousted by the New York Knicks. They
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: were up by fifty points before halftime.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: The Knicks, yeah, but it was like the Hawks were like, no,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: we played enough, We're done.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Well. Whatever happened we talk Spencer and I talked about
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: this yesterday. Whatever happened in the middle of this series.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Atlanta may excuse me. New York made an adjustment to
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Atlanta and it was the right adjustment, and Atlanta could
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: not figure out how to adjust back. And by the
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: end of well yesterday, I mean it was I mean,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: they just that's about as big a beatdown as you're
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: gonna see in the playoffs. Up by fifty before halftime,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: they end up winning by fifty one. So the Hawks
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: are out and the Knicks advance. Also from the NBA,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia has forced a Game seven with the Boston Celtics.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: They won last night by thirteen points, and suddenly there's
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: this uh oh moment going on in Boston because it
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: doesn't look flucish. That is a fast Philadelphia team. Joel
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Embiid is playing like he really wants it right now.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Paul George seems healthy. That they're dangerous right now. That's
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: going to be an interest. They've got the stage to
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: themselves tomorrow, so they'll play in Boston tomorrow Game seven.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: But Boston's push been pushed with their backs against the wall. Tonight,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Pistons at Magic, Cavaliers at Raptors, Lakers at Rockets, Lakers Cavaliers,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Magic are all up three to two Stanley Cup playoffs. Well,
• 21:19

  Speaker 2: and Vegas are all up three to two in the
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup playoffs here on home ice. Jessica Campbell has
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: decided she's leaving the Kraken. Don't know if that was
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: entirely her decision, but after four years after making history,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Jessica Campbell would like to move on, and I'm sure
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: there will be interest across the league. I'm sure she's
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: going to land on her feet. Dogs after dark tonight
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: at six point thirty on Montlake. Of course, our coverage
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: of it will start earlier than that. We're bringing all
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: of our best people together to cover Dogs after dark
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: the ub Spring game later on this evening. Mariners also
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: returned to action after a day off yesterday. They will

  Speaker 2: be home taking on the Kansas City Royals, and then
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: tomorrow night, Randy Johnson's number is going to get retired,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: so we'll find some time to talk about the big
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: unit later on in the program. Speaking of Kansas City,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: it's Seattle versus Kansas City this weekend. Let's fish.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a battle.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Finally we get to decide this rivalry once and for
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: all of you. A hole.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I've got my trident.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Sounders will be in Kansas City tomorrow at four thirty,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: so they get the soccer match on their own soil.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Bit they're lucky, so we're not having like a media
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: fight too.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: No, I guess not, but I think we'd take them.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I think so for sure.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Yep. And then Kentucky Derby week as well as this week.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: So tomorrow evening at four o'clock, they will have the
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, and we'll cover a little
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: bit of that in the O show today. Tony caster
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Cone's going to join us at seven oh five for
• 23:01

  Speaker 2: Seven rounds and complete, six days removed from the activity,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: and yet why do you still feel scared to leave?
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Thus things seem to be lurking in the darkness, even
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: in the broad daylight. If this is how you're feeling
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: this morning, you just might be caught in the draft math. Perfect.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Ashley and Chuck with you, Yes
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: we can. I think we have officially put the NFL
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Draft to bed. We've already put away the draft, miss Tree, and.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen it in a while.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: And yet there certainly was a lot to discuss. We
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: had players to meet this week. We've had a play
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: different player on that the Seahawks drafted on all of
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: our shows. We got to meet Emmanuel Anderson Junior here
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: on the show earlier this week. I know Ian had
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Bo Stevens on yeah, yesterday, and so certainly a lot
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: to discuss from the NFL Draft, But I guess we've
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: already officially moved on from the NFL Draft and now
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: today Ashley sadly and yet appropriately, because we just can't
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: do this year round. You people are just sickos.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, relentless.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: We can unofficially today walk away from the National Football
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: League Draft and it's coverage.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's makes me feel a little sad.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, today is the day. If you still have
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: your tree up beyond to beyond today, you really, that's
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: that's just lazy.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just lazy. And don't leave those lights up.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Either right, right, exactly, and either way, I realize you
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: have some figgy pudding left over, but stop sending it
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: to my house.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hey when people say in the song, bring
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: out the figgy.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Pudding, Yeah, either eat it yourself or throw it away.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: It's time.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gross.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that doesn't mean we're not caught in the
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: drafter Math. We're actually caught in theft drafter math of
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: the drafter Math. Here on this Friday, this uble drafter Math. Yeah,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: this is the last day of drafter Math. The aftermath
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: of the NFL Draft, and believe it or not, some
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: people out there that are caught in the drafter math
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: can't accept that it's over and have already started previewing
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven's NFL draft, people like Rob rang who
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I think I gotta get counseling for Rob.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I thought I knew you better than that.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's already cranked out his twenty twenty seven mock draft.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: A lot of people have. It's kind of an expectation.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: It's an industry expectation now NFL draft experts. What I
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: find funny about it, though, it's not that people are
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: looking forward and giving us a preview of like, hey,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: this college football season, these are the guys to keep
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: your eye on, because right now they seem to be
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: a top NFL draft boards. I like that. I love
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: that information. I think that's great, And if you want
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: to put them in order, you can put them in order.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: What I do find funny is that every mock drafter
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: for twenty twenty seven has already have their own list
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: of who's going to be the worst teams next year.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Oh god, yeah, that's what I don't understand. One, how
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: do you know how the season's going to play out.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: How do you know what injuries the team's going to have,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: or what teams players are going to get traded, or
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: what's going to happen.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: You don't know any teams need Yeah, I don't think that.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Like, let's just say, the general manager of the Cardinals
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: probably minds that there are people out there doing a
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven NFL mock draft. He might even say, oh, oh,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: I wonder what they think about. You know, I've always
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: liked Daniel Jeremiah. I wonder what he thinks about next
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: year's class number one pick, Mother Blanker.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: That's right, you see what we did this year.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: But it is supposed to be. And this is kind
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: of interesting because they're saying next year's draft is one
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: people have been waiting on for years, and especially the
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: quarterback class. I don't know if they saying that about
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six a year ago, but they were saying
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: it was going to be a great quarterback class. They
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: were saying it was going to be a great quarterback
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: class a year ago about this year's and then what
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: ends up happening. Fernando Mendoza comes out of nowhere, ends
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: up being the clear cut number one, and then there's
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: a question if there's even a second quarterback worth taking
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: in the first round, and that was Ty Simpson, who
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: never been a starter until last year at Alabama. And
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: so all the guys that they thought were going to
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: be oh, well, everybody wants to be a next year's
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: quarterback class. You know, Cade Club Nick and Grant Nussmayer
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: who ended up going in the seventh round to the Chiefs.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Leonora Sellers, who people were sure was going to be
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: in the draft, and he had such a bad year
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: injuries and otherwise that he returned to school for goodness
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: sake at South Carolina. So I mean a year in advance.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: I like the information, I really do, but certainly you
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: are really really trying to forecast a lot. And so
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: they're telling us now that next year, next year's quarterback class,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: that's the loaded one. And obviously there are a few
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: teams out there that are waiting for that next season.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I think the Cardinals are one of the teams. If
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: they were interested in Ty Simpson. The Rams ruined their plans,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: and so the Cardinals the Jets decided not to go
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: heavily after a quarterback. They did take Club Nick in
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: the fourth round, but they obviously still have a quarterback question.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: The Steelers didn't go out of their way to solve
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: their quarterback future. So maybe next year is the quarterback
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: class that a lot of the teams have been waiting for.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, but imagine this Christmas ends.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Just think how much trouble you'd get in if you
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: are sitting there surrounded by the presidence that Santa and
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: your parents, your family all gave you, and you go,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: all right, well, next year, I'm putting this on my list,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: and this on my list, and I didn't get that,
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: and I'm pissed about that.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to put this on my list for
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: next year.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: And you haven't even put away your gifts yet and
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: you're already thinking about what gifts you want next year. Oh.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I would be called a selfish SOB, that's for sure.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I don't think the teams. No, the teams
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: are teams are and the fan and the fans are
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: in essence, the children. Well, now the teams are Santa,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: the fans are the children. Yeah, these are more of
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: like the marketing people. This is like Sears might do that. Okay,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: next year's big toyser. That's what Rober, We're.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Sending out our catalog in January.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, shove that catalog up your rear end Sears.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, you got to take into account. What
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: if there's a new and better Teddy Rucksman, that's right, Yeah,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: what if there's you know, eleven sides to a Rubik's cube.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: We've got eleven more months if you're talking in January.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: We got eleven more months for me to figure out
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: what the coolest best gift is. And some of those
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: gifts that you say they might be awesome, they might
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: catch on fire because they're with lithium batteries.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: We don't even know what kind of gene Jorda Ash
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: is coming out with between now and next year. So
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: can we just be a little patient, just a little patient,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: thank you? Axel Rose. Yeah, to do this, he's asking, So, yes,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: they're jumping the gun. I do like the information, but
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: I do find it a little bit comical that you
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: already are forecasting who's going to suck next year. I mean,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: we can all do it, yeah, we can all do it,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: but to put them in order, that's funny. Well, and
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: it's just I don't even think it's wrong. I just
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: think it's funny.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: It is funny because you're speculating so much. I mean
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: last year at this time, they were talking about how.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Arch Manning could be, that he was going to come out,
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: he could be the number one pick. He wasn't anywhere
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: close to any of the Well.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Guess who's being projected as the number one. Of course
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: he is arch Manning. Yeah, but if you're the Cardinals.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: But you haven't even seen him have a good season yet.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: He finished strong, though, he did finish strong, but a
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: good season. Yeah, you haven't seen him start to finish
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: have a good season.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: They got carried away with arch madness last year, and
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: it's going to benefit him that they're not going to
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: get his carried away this year. And this year is
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: probably the year where he does make an impact because
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Texas looks like it could very well win a national championship.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: And then the other big name is the Jeremiah Smith name,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: because I mean we've been this is somebody that after
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: his freshman season, was already declared the best wide receiver
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: in college football. And there were people that were Tim
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: duncaning him like if he came out right now as
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: a freshman, he might be the number one pick in
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: the draft, and yet he had to come back for
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: a sophomore year and now has to come back for
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: an evennother season in his junior year. There were people,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's such a talented player that there were
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: people I even brought it up on the air, that
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: are encouraging him not to even play this year. Why
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: would you risk anything? I mean, you couldn't do that
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: for two years, but maybe it would behoove you when
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: you are so clear cut going to be a top
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: draft pick that maybe you don't even play year just
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: for the financial aspect of it. But obviously he's going
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: to play. That didn't take root. And so Jeremiah Smith
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: gets ready to enter his junior season, and yet Rob
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Rangs mocked draft Saint Pickolas himself doesn't even have him
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: going to the fifth pick.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, Rob, what are you talking about?
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Fifth pick? Like this is somebody that two years ago
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: they said if he came out right now, he'd be
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: the number one overall pick. Now, obviously quarterbacks are going
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: to take precedent and any draft if there's a quarterback
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: needy team at the top of the draft or if
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: they end up trading to the top of the draft
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: because they have to get their quarterback this year and
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: this is the year to get one, well that's going
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: to push a guy down. But Rob has a defensive
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: end out of South Carolina ahead of Jeremiah Smith right
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: now on his draft chart. I don't know if how
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: many guys have that of the draft experts, but nonetheless, man,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: if Jeremiah Smith's the fifth pick and next year's draft,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: then it's going to be a loaded draft. I just
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: don't know if I'm going to buy that. I think
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: he probably still will end up being one or two
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: before it's all said and done, whether there's quarterback needs
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: or not. But yes, people are already swept up in
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: the previewing of the twenty twenty seven it's the last
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: stage of drafter math. You know, there's joy and then
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: there's anger, and then there's acceptance, and then then there's
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: self doubt, and then the last stage of it is
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: looking forward, Yeah, next year, right right right, And it's
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: just it just kind of represents the sadness to watch
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: another holiday season come and go. Who knows when we'll
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: see our family and friends again. But it was nice
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: It's a nice time spending with them, that's for sure.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Never here a little long.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know Mom loved the Jadarian prize pick. It
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: was cute seeing her face glow the way it did.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she probably lit up like a lamp.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Midwest girl who just now loves the Seahawks because
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: of her, because of her, because of her son, her
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: pride and joy.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: That a little sweetheart.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's a sweetheart. All right. Well, we will have
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: a little bit more on the draft later on in
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: the show, but that has something to do with how
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks are building, and also how the Seahawks are
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: sort of becoming a symbol for other teams and how
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: they should build going forward. We won't do that until
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: the nine o'clock hour. Coming up next, Mariners have had
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: practically two days off. They get ready to resume their
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: season tonight with a five hundred record, and they are
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: taking on a team that still hasn't dug out of
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: its early season hole. But let's not sleep on the
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Kansas City Royals. I provide a preview next on Sports
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Hey, good morning. Coming

• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Colin's concert. I don't think he's prepared for that. I've heard. Yeah,

• 36:57
  Speaker 2: always become a one club member all the tales available
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: to you at everything talalap dot com. Mariners they're back
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: in action tonight. I don't know what it is about
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: a baseball season, especially when your team's going well. I
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: was sitting here this morning, I was taking my shower
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, man, feels like it's been like a
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: week and a half since the Mariners have played.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: It does feel like a long time.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: One day off, yeah.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: But it was because it was done so early in
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: the day before. It feels like it's been forever.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: I was like thinking about Martini night tonight. I'm like, gosh,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be good to actually finally get to watch
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: some baseball one day off. Yeah, one day off it's
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: been forever, feels like it. But the team returns home.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: They got this shiny new five hundred record. I've been
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: talking about it for the last couple of shows. Kind
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: of feels like a perfect reset, you know, restart the
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: season opportunity. Yeah, they got off to a rough start,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: but now it's like they're back to zero and zero,
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: only a game out of first place with one hundred
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: and thirty two games to play. In my opinion, now
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: they will begin their assault on the rest of the
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: American League West, and I think they will slowly pull
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: away from all the rest of the competitors here over
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: the course of the last one hundred and thirty thirty
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: games of the year. But the Kansas City Royals are
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: gonna be hungry. They come into town tonight and you
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: hope what you built, what you really hope for, Ashley,
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: is when you do kind of climb out of a
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: hole that there's no oh God, and then you relax
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: too much, right, I want I want that reset button
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: to be met with hunger, Like all right, now, now
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: we're gonna cheat through the walls to get out of
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: the baseball field coming for you. Did we dug out
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: of the hole? We got that behind us, and now
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: we're going to destroy people. I mean, that's what you
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: want to have happen. But there is that slim possibility
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: because of the psychology of the sports mind, that you
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: get you get out of that hole and then you
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: think you've actually accomplished something when you haven't, and then
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: suddenly you come out flat, even though you're in front
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: of the home field, the home crowd. And so that's
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: what I hope to avoid starting with Kansas City Royals. Tonight,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: but they are still not out of their hole. The
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Royals began this year, maybe not with Mariner expectations, but
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I know they themselves the Kansas City media market thought
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: that this was a team that could win the American
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: League Central this year, and they still can. Nobody's run
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: away with it, that's for sure, just like the American
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: League West, but they are in a bad way so
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: far this season. They are off to a twelve and
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: nineteen start this year that was made ugly by an
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: eight game losing streak recently, but they have more recently
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: had a four game winning streak, so maybe they're starting
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: to come out of it. The numbers don't necessarily read
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: like they're having a terrible year across the board. They're
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: pretty much middle of the pack and a lot of
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: different offensive categories, and yet they've got one of the
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: worst records in the American League at this stage, and
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: so they're not coming up with the timely hit so
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: far this season. The bullpen is not closing out games.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: They've already had to replace their closer once already this year,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: and let's face it, their best player, Bobby Witt Junior,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: who most people thought was going to and still probably
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: will compete for an MVP. I mean, he's already established
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: himself as one of the best players in all of
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: the sport, all of the world, and yet he can
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: get off to a two to eighty nine start and
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: people think, well, Bobby WIT's not clicking just yet. I mean,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: we went through a WBC experience with him as America's
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: shortstop and it was pretty evident that if not Aaron Judge,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: he was the best player on the team. He can
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: do it all, and unfortunately for Kansas City fans, he
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: has yet to do it all this season. He's hit
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: only two home runs, but he's stolen ten bases. His
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: OPS is around eight hundred. He plays gold glove defense.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: He's may have turned into the best defensive shortstop in
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: the game as well. So this is just a special dude.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is top five player in the world
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's incredible, and I guarantee you know, Kansas City
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: fans are sitting there going, oh, we're screwed, because this
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: is how Bobby Witt Junior is going to be for
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: the rest of his career and whatever he did before
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: as a fluke, and yeah, nobody's thinking that and let's
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: just I just need to hope that he doesn't come
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: here and decide with this seventy nice degree weather that, oh,
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: this is when I'll get hot.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there's always a chance of that. I mean,
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: he does seem to be He never was as cold
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: as our best players, but he just the power wasn't there.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: And this is the year where the Kansas City Royals
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: have decided to move their fences in. That was a
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: big decision by them. They had always kind of been
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: a pitching organization and so they kept the fences deep.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: It was a pitcher's ballpark. They decided this offseason probably
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: led a lot by the fact that they've got Bobby
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Witt junior. They got a couple prospects and Carter Jensen
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: and Jack cagleone who they're expecting big things out of
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: playing their first full seasons in the major leagues. Those
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: are power hitting guys. The Sasquatch, the passquatch.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Yes he can I heard he was hurt. Potentially, is
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: he going to be here.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know, says says day to day. But he's
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: off to a rough start. So they just off to
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: a rough start in general, even with the fences moving in,
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: they're not hitting a lot of home runs, and so yes,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: of course we don't want them to figure it out
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: this weekend. Kick a dog while it's down, I suppose.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: But Kansas City so far this season twenty fourth. This
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: is the real difference between them and the Mariners, having
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: dug out of their hole. Kansas City's twenty fourth in
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: the league and team era where the Mariners are fifth.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Oh so, and the numbers like on base you know,
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: base runners allowed, not that different. They've got some good pitchers.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: They got Cole Reagan's that's just gonna go tonight. That
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: guy can pitch, and he's left handed, which is always
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: terrifying for us.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: That's great for us.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then logo veteran just get Michael wach Is
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: off to a good start. So they've got some pitchers
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: off to a good start. But obviously what traffic they
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: are allowing is scoring as opposed to ours, which our
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: guys are finding a way to keep teams off the board.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: But this is a I think, a good team that
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: eventually is going to get right. They're off to an
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: even colder start than obviously the Mariners got off too.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: But we just don't want them to get well starting
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: this weekend, and so let's get it started tonight. It'll
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: be Cole Reagan's for them, it'll be Brian Woo for us.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: And we're gonna have some warm weather this weekend for
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: the first time this baseball season, So who knows what
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: kind of effect that's going to have on the games.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Hopefully it has good effect on us and terrible effect
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: on them.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's very selfish of you, yes, correct, All right,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: coming up next on the radio program, we do have
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: your headlines coming up at the top of the hour. Also,
