- 4:21Speaker 3: So?
- 4:22Speaker 6: Derek doesn't t off till later today. That's why he
- 4:24Speaker 6: was early yesterday. So I got up in normal time today,
- 4:26Speaker 6: didn't even have to didn't have to.
- 4:29Speaker 5: I haven't checked anything.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Oh you haven't. No, I thought that's what you were

- 4:34Speaker 5: Finishing my makeup.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Oh I see, yeah.
- 4:38Speaker 6: But because I usually started at home, then I finish

- 4:43Speaker 6: I I just turned it on.
- 4:45Speaker 1: So I okay, okay, okay, there you go. For those
- 4:49Speaker 1: that don't know, Ashley has a friend in the PGA
- 4:51Speaker 1: Championship a local guy works for PNW Golf Academy. Yes,
- 4:56Speaker 1: his name is Derek Berg, and he got off to
- 4:58Speaker 1: a bit of a slow start. She was nervous for
- 5:00Speaker 1: for him, but he started to once the knees stopped knocking.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Yesterday he started getting going.
- 5:05Speaker 5: Yeah, one under on the second nine.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. And so day number two today,
- 5:10Speaker 1: he's promised day number two and who knows, maybe he
- 5:12Speaker 1: catches fire.
- 5:13Speaker 6: To let's see what happens, right. I did send him
- 5:15Speaker 6: a text after. I was like, okay, you got the
- 5:17Speaker 6: hard part out of the way, now you just get
- 5:18Speaker 6: to go play golf. And I got one one word
- 5:21Speaker 6: response and it started with an f oh and then
- 5:24Speaker 6: a lot of us.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Oh, like just.
- 5:30Speaker 6: It was like not you, no, no, no, it was
- 5:33Speaker 6: just and I asked five iron, like okay. So, because
- 5:37Speaker 6: they had lunch after and everything, I said, how's he feeling.
- 5:39Speaker 6: He's like, so glad the first day is over. Yeah,
- 5:42Speaker 6: he's just glad that's done.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Again, though, I mean, there's there's never been a better
- 5:48Speaker 1: reason for you to be your most nervous exactly.
- 5:50Speaker 5: Then yes, yeah, yeah, play some golf and have fun.
- 5:54Speaker 1: You checked AFLL that you played in a major for
- 5:56Speaker 1: goodness sake. Yeah, and then you and then halfway through it,
- 6:00Speaker 1: you calm him down and started playing golf like you're
- 6:02Speaker 1: capable of. Yeah, man, you're on top of the world.
- 6:06Speaker 6: Berg and you did it in front of fifty to
- 6:08Speaker 6: sixty thousand people MBD. Right, yeah, gosh that I do
- 6:12Speaker 6: stuff in front of fifty to sixty thousand people on
- 6:14Speaker 6: a day to day basis.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, So you're used to it. Yeah, right.
- 6:19Speaker 5: I just go to the grocery store and I got
- 6:20Speaker 5: like a crowd watching me. Will she pick the right pepper?
- 6:23Speaker 1: Exactly? It's pressure, yeah, pressure being as famous as Ashley
- 6:27Speaker 1: and I.
- 6:27Speaker 5: Oh, it's a lot of work.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know we make it look easy.
- 6:30Speaker 5: Yeah, we do.
- 6:31Speaker 1: That's a good thing about us. Take it in stride.
- 6:34Speaker 1: That's the way it works around here. So is five
- 6:36Speaker 1: Iron having the time of his life?
- 6:38Speaker 5: Iive Iron is back home?
- 6:39Speaker 1: Oh wow?
- 6:40Speaker 5: Yeah he So he.
- 6:41Speaker 6: Only got to watch one day, So he went and
- 6:42Speaker 6: watched the practice rounds, did all that, and then he
- 6:46Speaker 6: knew when he booked the trip he had to come
- 6:48Speaker 6: back last night because he had signed up for his
- 6:50Speaker 6: own golf tournament at Milk Creek and he didn't want
- 6:51Speaker 6: to let his.
- 6:52Speaker 5: Partner down by bailing on his partner.
- 6:54Speaker 6: So he is back home. Wow, he said about He
- 6:58Speaker 6: said a couple of words to me. Yeah, he said
- 6:59Speaker 6: a couple of words. This morning he woke up. Your
- 7:03Speaker 6: hat's in my backpack. If you want to wear it today,
- 7:06Speaker 6: I said, I do, so, this is a that's my
- 7:08Speaker 6: iernomy cat. Oh no, he said, I do want to
- 7:10Speaker 6: wear my hat today, Thank you so much. And then yeah,
- 7:14Speaker 6: he teas off at one and he's got a two
- 7:16Speaker 6: day tournament on his own. We're just we're just golfing
- 7:18Speaker 6: and jet setting. That's what we do in our house.
- 7:20Speaker 1: That guy's like bezos, he is.
- 7:23Speaker 5: And I tell him that a lot. You know, I
- 7:26Speaker 5: do feel like Lauren Sanchez very rich.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what, I'm a little disappointed by
- 7:32Speaker 1: that because I was picturing five iron last night, you know,
- 7:36Speaker 1: like doing belly shots off Hideki matsu Yama last night.
- 7:40Speaker 6: But they did that during the practice rounds. That's because
- 7:42Speaker 6: you get all your fun out in practice. Now it's business.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Him and Patrick Reed.
- 7:46Speaker 5: You know, he doesn't like Pat Patrick Reed. No, I don't.
- 7:50Speaker 1: By the suddenly he's like, man, this Patrick Reid guy's
- 7:52Speaker 1: really cool. How do you believe it.
- 7:53Speaker 5: I wouldn't let him come home.
- 7:55Speaker 6: Yeah, if all of a sudden he decided to, like
- 7:57Speaker 6: Patrick reed, he's got to stay there.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Him and Sky Scheffler playing roe Shambau.
- 8:01Speaker 5: And a horn, definitely would do that.
- 8:03Speaker 1: You know, like to see who goes first in air hockey?
- 8:07Speaker 5: Yeah, good stuff.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Shuffle board, Yeah, that's what I was trying to think of.
- 8:11Speaker 1: What's the shuffle board when with the sand.
- 8:13Speaker 5: It's called shuffle board, that isn't I think?
- 8:15Speaker 1: So even the handheld shuffle board is a shuffle board.
- 8:18Speaker 5: That's a great question. Maybe the four nine four or
- 8:19Speaker 5: five one.
- 8:20Speaker 1: That's what I was trying to think of, But then
- 8:22Speaker 1: I couldn't remember the name, so I just went air hockey.
- 8:25Speaker 5: I mean air hockey's great too.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Yeah, like like Soufle was dominating air hockey, and I
- 8:30Speaker 1: got next and five Iron said at the exact same
- 8:34Speaker 1: time that you know, Kurt Kitty Yama said it, and
- 8:38Speaker 1: suddenly they had to row Shambeau for the winner.
- 8:41Speaker 6: I feel like you've been at a lot of golf
- 8:42Speaker 6: tournaments because you are nailing it.
- 8:44Speaker 1: I think that's exactly. I think that's exactly how it went. Absolutely,
- 8:47Speaker 1: and if it didn't go down that way. Don't tell me, because.
- 8:50Speaker 5: It's all at a house that they all rent and
- 8:51Speaker 5: stand together.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Well, I kind of pictured a ski lodge sort of
- 8:56Speaker 1: things like a chateau, right, yeah, yeah, if it's not that,
- 9:00Speaker 1: I don't want to know.
- 9:01Speaker 5: No, I agree, I don't either.
- 9:02Speaker 1: I ruined my imagination with you. Yeah, all right, Well
- 9:06Speaker 1: let's get it started here today. The NFL schedule obviously
- 9:10Speaker 1: a big topic all week long, and we now know it.
- 9:14Speaker 7: It is.
- 9:15Speaker 1: It's cut and dry at this point, and so I
- 9:19Speaker 1: know that the fellas had a chance to react in
- 9:22Speaker 1: real time to it yesterday. Once again, the schedule came
- 9:25Speaker 1: out before five o'clock.
- 9:27Speaker 5: Shocking.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I know that they spent a lot
- 9:30Speaker 1: of time on a last night, but we haven't spent
- 9:32Speaker 1: any time on the actual schedule. All we've dealt with
- 9:36Speaker 1: so far is leakage to this point. So for it
- 9:39Speaker 1: all to be out, we now get a chance to
- 9:42Speaker 1: break it down. Greg Bell will join us at seven
- 9:44Speaker 1: o five today. It will be the New England Patriots
- 9:47Speaker 1: on opening day. We knew that ninety nine percent yesterday,
- 9:53Speaker 1: and so we'll open with a Super Bowl rematch. Neither
- 9:56Speaker 1: Ashley or I really like that. I don't even like
- 9:59Speaker 1: the ey I have a Super Bowl rematch to start
- 10:02Speaker 1: the next.
- 10:02Speaker 6: Season, No, I mean, you don't need it to be
- 10:04Speaker 6: the last game in the first.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Game, and that doesn't even have anything to do with
- 10:07Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I don't like that. Whenever they do something
- 10:10Speaker 1: like that, well build the anticipation, and then I keep
- 10:14Speaker 1: bringing up the Russini thing just quickly. I mean, I
- 10:18Speaker 1: don't like the fact that that's going to be a
- 10:20Speaker 1: major story on the day that you open the NFL season.
- 10:24Speaker 1: I would have thought they wanted to avoid that, but
- 10:26Speaker 1: apparently any attention is good attention in business, and the
- 10:32Speaker 1: NFL is big business, and so not only did they
- 10:36Speaker 1: try to avoid it like I would have they seem
- 10:39Speaker 1: to want to embrace all of the coverage that Vrabel
- 10:43Speaker 1: and Russini have gotten because you know it's still going
- 10:46Speaker 1: to be around on opening day when a brand new
- 10:49Speaker 1: season starts in the head coach has gone through a
- 10:52Speaker 1: very rare, if not unique, type of offseason. Certainly that's
- 10:57Speaker 1: going to have to be discussed for the next five
- 11:00Speaker 1: five months leading up to opening day as the pregames
- 11:03Speaker 1: show starts.
- 11:04Speaker 6: Now, Yeah, and I think we'd be naive to think
- 11:06Speaker 6: that it would have passed by then, because again, as
- 11:09Speaker 6: I brought up yesterday, she still hasn't talked, and she's
- 11:12Speaker 6: dragging this out for a while.
- 11:13Speaker 5: She's probably waiting to see what money she can get.
- 11:15Speaker 6: To talk, and when that happens, it's gonna start all
- 11:20Speaker 6: over again. And then when training camp happens, it's gonna
- 11:24Speaker 6: start all over again. If the if there's any drama
- 11:26Speaker 6: at Patriots camp, it's gonna oh, well, are the Patriots
- 11:30Speaker 6: not are the players not trusting Vrabel?
- 11:32Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean there's it's just gonna keep happening.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I hear you elsewhere though, on the schedule,
- 11:39Speaker 1: then it'll be at the Cardinals and at the Commanders
- 11:42Speaker 1: the next two games. And so you start at home
- 11:45Speaker 1: against the team that you pounded the last time you
- 11:47Speaker 1: played a football game, and you carry all those good
- 11:51Speaker 1: vibes of Opening Day and all of that pomp and circumstance,
- 11:56Speaker 1: and then you get two very winnable road games early
- 12:00Speaker 1: on in the season. So it does kind of map
- 12:02Speaker 1: out for a good start. I mean, Patriots are really good.
- 12:07Speaker 1: But then again, to play at home with all that energy,
- 12:11Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a put wnls by the schedule
- 12:15Speaker 1: as soon as it comes out. Kind of guy, I
- 12:18Speaker 1: kind of like following the season. But yeah, nonetheless, if
- 12:24Speaker 1: you were envisioning a three and oh start with the
- 12:27Speaker 1: difficult schedule the Seahawks, a first play schedule that the
- 12:29Speaker 1: Seahawks are going to have to face this year, I mean,
- 12:32Speaker 1: that's about as good a recipe as you could be
- 12:34Speaker 1: handed home against the Patriots and knockout two of your
- 12:38Speaker 1: lesser opponents that you'll have to face this season on
- 12:42Speaker 1: the road. Feels three and oh to.
- 12:43Speaker 5: Me, very three and oh weeks I would agree with that.
- 12:46Speaker 6: I mean, I guess, barring something you can't see, but
- 12:50Speaker 6: seems like it.
- 12:51Speaker 5: Yeah, seems like a safe bet.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Home against the Chargers, home against the forty nine Ers,
- 12:56Speaker 1: that's a that's a little that's a battle right there.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Even though I I mean I said this at the
- 13:01Speaker 1: beginning of last year and was wrong, well, at least
- 13:04Speaker 1: I was wrong from the terms of the forty nine
- 13:06Speaker 1: ers record last season, I think the Seahawks exposed the
- 13:11Speaker 1: forty nine Ers for not being nearly as good as
- 13:14Speaker 1: their record indicated at the end of last year, and
- 13:17Speaker 1: so I kind of am going I'm gonna do the
- 13:20Speaker 1: same thing. I'm to tell you right now, I'm going
- 13:22Speaker 1: to predict a very average season for the San Francisco
- 13:26Speaker 1: forty nine ers. But everybody else will tell you how
- 13:29Speaker 1: great these the forty nine ers are and how difficult
- 13:32Speaker 1: to stretch. That's going to be. So Chargers forty nine
- 13:35Speaker 1: Ers in the next two games.
- 13:36Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think the Chargers game, Yeah, that's gonna
- 13:38Speaker 6: be a tough one.
- 13:39Speaker 5: But being at home makes it.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:43Speaker 6: I like our chances. They are forty nine ers. I
- 13:45Speaker 6: would think at home we would have no problem with them.
- 13:47Speaker 6: But I'll tell you one thing I will not be
- 13:48Speaker 6: doing with the forty nine ers this year, and that
- 13:49Speaker 6: is predicting anything with their win loss record. When we
- 13:53Speaker 6: pick our over unders, I'm staying far away from them.
- 13:56Speaker 6: They screwed me last year.
- 13:58Speaker 1: I'm still gonna do it at Denver and then home
- 14:02Speaker 1: against Kansas City, and that's going to be So here's
- 14:07Speaker 1: the difficult part of this. The stretch of the schedule
- 14:09Speaker 1: is that you're going to take on the Chargers and
- 14:11Speaker 1: then the forty nine ers, and whether they're average or
- 14:15Speaker 1: better than average or whatever they're going to be, it's
- 14:17Speaker 1: still a division. Robbie got to get up for it,
- 14:20Speaker 1: and then you play on Sunday and turn around on
- 14:25Speaker 1: Thursday and have to play at Denver. So that's that
- 14:29Speaker 1: in itself. That's a tough stretch, probably the toughest stretch
- 14:34Speaker 1: for the Seahawks this year, because then your next game
- 14:36Speaker 1: is at home against Kansas City and then you face
- 14:38Speaker 1: the Bears, who are expected to be really good this year.
- 14:42Speaker 1: And I think we're all expecting some level of bounce
- 14:45Speaker 1: back for the Kansas City chief So if there's a
- 14:48Speaker 1: tough stretch, it's between that and the one at the
- 14:52Speaker 1: end of the year. But you're gonna have one of those,
- 14:55Speaker 1: there's no there's no avoiding it. And I just heard
- 14:58Speaker 1: this morning that there's a ken Walker revenge game for
- 15:03Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. I mean that just goes to
- 15:06Speaker 1: show you if you're not following it as closely from
- 15:09Speaker 1: a national perspective as people do local. I mean, maybe
- 15:13Speaker 1: in ken Walker's really kind heart, he was like, oh God,
- 15:16Speaker 1: I get revenge. Yeah, I don't see it as that.
- 15:20Speaker 1: I mean, yes, he felt that the Seahawks did not
- 15:24Speaker 1: give him the opportunity to establish himself as a clear
- 15:27Speaker 1: cut Number one. Ken Walker holds that grudge against the Seahawks. Yes,
- 15:31Speaker 1: but I have aveling ken Walker really doesn't hold many grudges.
- 15:34Speaker 1: He's just such a nice boy. He seems like it, Yeah,
- 15:38Speaker 1: and so I don't really see it that way. Also,
- 15:41Speaker 1: it's not like the Seahawks dissed him. They gave him
- 15:43Speaker 1: a twelve million dollar offer.
- 15:45Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not like they didn't offer him anything, and
- 15:46Speaker 6: they just said, no, we don't want you, and.
- 15:48Speaker 1: I promise you that made them uncomfortable. I promise you.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Twelve million is not what they wanted to pay for
- 15:53Speaker 1: ken Walker, but they they did it anyway, and so
- 16:00Speaker 1: they wanted to keep him. I think they made a
- 16:02Speaker 1: strong effort to keep him, but there was no way
- 16:04Speaker 1: they were going to go to fifteen million to keep
- 16:06Speaker 1: ken Walker.
- 16:07Speaker 3: Well.
- 16:07Speaker 6: No, And it was interesting listening to that conversation about
- 16:09Speaker 6: the revenge game too, because the way it was phrased
- 16:11Speaker 6: was like, yeah, I mean, why would he of course
- 16:14Speaker 6: he wants revenge, the Seahawks said, or he Zach Charbonau
- 16:18Speaker 6: gets injured and ken Walker steps up and becomes the
- 16:21Speaker 6: Super Bowl MVP, and they just say, okay, thanks, No,
- 16:24Speaker 6: that's not what they did, as you said, they offered
- 16:26Speaker 6: him money to say, it just wasn't as much as
- 16:29Speaker 6: what the Chiefs offered him. And as we talked about
- 16:32Speaker 6: before that, if you're Ken Walker, yeah go take the
- 16:34Speaker 6: most money that you can get. I don't blame him
- 16:37Speaker 6: for doing that, and I don't blame the Seahawks for
- 16:39Speaker 6: not offering more than twelve.
- 16:41Speaker 1: Then you've got Cardinals at home and then at the Raiders,
- 16:45Speaker 1: and then a bye so that might be viewed as
- 16:48Speaker 1: your softest part of the schedule right there, if the
- 16:52Speaker 1: Cardinals are indeed in rebuilding, and the Raiders might be
- 16:55Speaker 1: starting a rookie quarterback at that point. And then you
- 16:58Speaker 1: have the bye week, which we discussed, of course earlier
- 17:01Speaker 1: this week. And if you heard that conversation, you know
- 17:05Speaker 1: I'm thrilled with the bye week. That's perfect week eleven.
- 17:09Speaker 1: And then your trip to Vegas. You actually can let
- 17:12Speaker 1: the guys hang out for a couple of days if
- 17:14Speaker 1: they want. Yeah, you know, you're on your own right now.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Don't get arrested, don't do anything stupid. Yeah, you know,
- 17:20Speaker 1: maybe going pairs so that you can look out for
- 17:22Speaker 1: one another. But home against the Cardinals, at the Raiders,
- 17:27Speaker 1: and then a little fun potentially before you come home
- 17:33Speaker 1: and then plenty of time to rest up for the
- 17:35Speaker 1: grueling final stretch of the season. I like that stretch,
- 17:40Speaker 1: and I love the bye week. Yeah.
- 17:41Speaker 6: Ay, as I said, anything after week ten and I'm
- 17:43Speaker 6: good with the bye week, So week eleven there is perfect.
- 17:47Speaker 6: And yeah, especially when you look at the way that
- 17:49Speaker 6: that schedule, just a couple of weeks before that and
- 17:52Speaker 6: then what you're going to be facing after that, I
- 17:54Speaker 6: think it falls perfectly.
- 17:56Speaker 1: At forty nine ers coming out of the by home
- 17:58Speaker 1: to the Cowboys, home to the Giants, who everybody keeps
- 18:01Speaker 1: saying is going to be much improved. If you believe that,
- 18:04Speaker 1: then you believe an awful lot in Jackson Dart. I'm
- 18:07Speaker 1: not sure he can get through a game without a concussion,
- 18:09Speaker 1: so I'm not sure yet. Yeah, I have the same
- 18:12Speaker 1: faith as others do in Jackson Dart's capabilities. But almost
- 18:18Speaker 1: every talking head nationally says the Giants are a team
- 18:22Speaker 1: that could be this year's Patriots at Philadelphia. Here's here's
- 18:27Speaker 1: the stretch at Philadelphia home against the Rams on Christmas
- 18:32Speaker 1: at Carolina, And that's not as easily dismissed as it's
- 18:36Speaker 1: been in the past. They did make the playoffs last year.
- 18:39Speaker 6: But how do we end up at Carolina two years
- 18:41Speaker 6: in a row.
- 18:42Speaker 1: That's just how the cook the second the last of
- 18:44Speaker 1: the season. We're at the Commander's two years in a row.
- 18:46Speaker 6: Two, but it's just second to the last game of
- 18:48Speaker 6: the season. Two years in a row, we're at Carolina.
- 18:50Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're better. They were obviously a better team
- 18:52Speaker 1: a year ago, and they were a young team that
- 18:54Speaker 1: had improved a year ago, so that might not be
- 18:57Speaker 1: the typical, oh good, well, we'll get Carolina on the
- 19:00Speaker 1: road kind of experience, and then you finish at the Rams.
- 19:04Speaker 1: So you've got the Rams two of the last three
- 19:06Speaker 1: games of the season, and we will certainly dive into
- 19:09Speaker 1: that a little bit later on in the show. So
- 19:11Speaker 1: there's your schedule. It is out. There are no more
- 19:16Speaker 1: than two straight road games. There will be a stretch
- 19:19Speaker 1: of three straight home games though for the Seahawks. There
- 19:23Speaker 1: are six primetime games that the Seahawks landed, so didn't
- 19:27Speaker 1: get insulted in that area. Thought they got an ideal
- 19:30Speaker 1: bye week out of this. And yeah, there are a
- 19:33Speaker 1: couple of tough stretches, but you knew that when you're
- 19:36Speaker 1: gonna have to face a first place team schedule going
- 19:40Speaker 1: into the year, I thought, for the most part, not
- 19:43Speaker 1: much to complain about.
- 19:44Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I don't have I mean, my only issues
- 19:47Speaker 6: are the same things we brought up yesterday, and that
- 19:48Speaker 6: was I don't like the Week one matchup with the Patriots.
- 19:51Speaker 5: Yeah, and I don't like that we're playing on Christmas Day.
- 19:55Speaker 1: Those are just personal in terms of NOG Can you
- 19:58Speaker 1: post your best record with this?
- 20:00Speaker 6: I think I think you've got it. The way it
- 20:02Speaker 6: worked out looks good, and I have no problems with that.
- 20:04Speaker 6: It's just yeah, my own personal things.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right. Greg Bell will join us at
- 20:09Speaker 1: seven o five to discuss it. Let's find out what
- 20:11Speaker 1: else is on tap, what's on what's on tep? Well?
- 20:19Speaker 1: Speaking of Patrick Reid, five Iron's new best friend, he's
- 20:23Speaker 1: three under par right now, one under four of the
- 20:25Speaker 1: day and suddenly is a top the leader board along
- 20:29Speaker 1: with a lot of guys like men Wu Lee you've
- 20:32Speaker 1: certainly heard of if your golf fans, you've heard of
- 20:36Speaker 1: all of them. Geter, Yeah, if you're a novice, then
- 20:40Speaker 1: you probably haven't heard of most of the guys at
- 20:42Speaker 1: the top of the leader board, including Aldrich Poltergeist.
- 20:47Speaker 5: Oh yes, sorry, I forgot that's how we're pronouncing it.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Yes, Scottie Scheffler was three under at the end of
- 20:53Speaker 1: day one and tied with the lead. He's won over
- 20:55Speaker 1: so far today only through two. Kate Blanchette apparently is
- 20:59Speaker 1: in the tournament this year. Man, she's talented, god, beautiful golfer.
- 21:06Speaker 1: What can't Kate Blanchette do. She's two under par apparently
- 21:10Speaker 1: at the PGA Championship. And so that's the early. We
- 21:14Speaker 1: will keep you up to date on this throughout the
- 21:15Speaker 1: course of the show, and we have official PGA updates
- 21:18Speaker 1: coming your way starting at eight twenty and twenty after
- 21:21Speaker 1: the hour, every single hour for the rest of the day.
- 21:25Speaker 1: NBA Playoffs they went dark last night, no games last
- 21:29Speaker 1: night so that they could set up tonight's double header.
- 21:31Speaker 1: So you got two game six's to close out potential
- 21:34Speaker 1: games for the Cleveland Cavaliers at home. They'll play the
- 21:38Speaker 1: first one at four o'clock and then the second game
- 21:40Speaker 1: will be Minnesota hosting the Spurs. The Spurs have a
- 21:44Speaker 1: chance to close out the Timberwolves tonight. If not, they'll
- 21:48Speaker 1: play Sunday. Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Golden Knights of Las Vegas. Man,
- 21:53Speaker 1: they are good. They are really good. They advanced to
- 21:55Speaker 1: the Western Conference Finals, knocking out the Anaheim Mighty Ducks,
- 21:59Speaker 1: and now the weight game is on. We're all waiting
- 22:02Speaker 1: on you Sabers Canadians. Could you just speed it up
- 22:06Speaker 1: a little bit.
- 22:06Speaker 6: I'd like them to not speed it up because I
- 22:08Speaker 6: would like the Sabers to win again.
- 22:10Speaker 1: There is not another game for a while. The Carolina
- 22:14Speaker 1: Hurricanes might go twelve days without playing hockey before the
- 22:18Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals start. Crazy if Montreal and Buffalo goes
- 22:22Speaker 1: the distance seven games. Right now, Montreal is up three
- 22:25Speaker 1: games to two over the Sabres. Preakness is going to
- 22:29Speaker 1: be on Saturday, and so Eddie Olchick's going to join
- 22:31Speaker 1: us later this hour to talk both ponies and pucks
- 22:34Speaker 1: as he did earlier this week and told us put
- 22:37Speaker 1: me back on on Friday and I'll make my picks.
- 22:40Speaker 1: So we'll get Eddie Olchick's picks for the Preakness coming
- 22:44Speaker 1: up later this hour. Sounders will be in action against
- 22:46Speaker 1: the Galaxy tomorrow at home at six point fifteen. This
- 22:50Speaker 1: will be their second MLS game this week. I do
- 22:53Speaker 1: not understand how they schedule. Mariners won eight to three
- 22:57Speaker 1: over the Houston Astros to take three out of four
- 23:00Speaker 1: in Houston, moved back within a game under five hundreds
- 23:04Speaker 1: of their game within from five hundred, and they could
- 23:07Speaker 1: get that done tonight against the San Diego Padres, who
- 23:10Speaker 1: they will host throughout the weekend. Meanwhile, cal Raley, as
- 23:13Speaker 1: you know, placed on the injury list yesterday. And look
- 23:16Speaker 1: how Mitch Garver celebrated being the starting catcher for the
- 23:19Speaker 1: Mariners this year. He homered for the first time yesterday,
- 23:23Speaker 1: and so we'll talk about that. Mariners Morning After comes
- 23:27Speaker 1: your way next. Good Friday morning to you all Sports
- 23:30Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three KHRFM. Sports Radio ninety three
- 23:33Speaker 1: point three KHRFM, our daily Mariner's segment during the baseball
- 23:38Speaker 1: season where we provide a highlight, a sound pipe, and
- 23:41Speaker 1: a preview of what's tonight. It's a convenient by eight
- 23:44Speaker 1: minute postgame show. We just do it the morning after.
- 23:47Speaker 6: It's a little package all packaged up for you exactly,
- 23:50Speaker 6: pretty bow.
- 23:50Speaker 1: One exactly and like you and now you can play
- 23:53Speaker 1: it off today at work like you watch the whole thing.
- 23:55Speaker 5: Man, you are welcome, uh huh.
- 23:57Speaker 1: We do provide services like that. So let's get things
- 24:01Speaker 1: started the Mariners taking on the Houston Astros coming off.
- 24:06Speaker 1: I mean, it's just really was an ugly loss on
- 24:09Speaker 1: Wednesday night, and so a chance to totally redeem yourself
- 24:13Speaker 1: on Thursday against the Houston Astros. Luis Castillo on the mound,
- 24:18Speaker 1: and you know you're hoping for the best, even though
- 24:20Speaker 1: you haven't really gotten that out of Luis so far
- 24:24Speaker 1: this season. But it always helps to get a little
- 24:28Speaker 1: offensive run support early on in the game, and that's
- 24:33Speaker 1: exactly what the Mariners provided Louis yesterday. Luke Raley has
- 24:38Speaker 1: turned into our best player. One two. That's high, deep
- 24:43Speaker 1: left field. This is at the wall and.
- 24:47Speaker 3: It just sneaks into the Crawford boxes.
- 24:51Speaker 1: It is gone. It's an opposite field three run home
- 24:54Speaker 1: run from Luke Raley. So they move Luke into the
- 24:59Speaker 1: number five. That's the highest he's hit this season. I'm
- 25:03Speaker 1: pretty sure I didn't get home in time to see
- 25:06Speaker 1: the first inning for where they might have covered that,
- 25:10Speaker 1: but I did. Yes, But Luke Rayley hits a three
- 25:13Speaker 1: run homer to reward the encouragement, and he now has
- 25:18Speaker 1: ten home runs this season, ten home runs. He also
- 25:22Speaker 1: leads the team with twenty seven runs batted in. He's
- 25:25Speaker 1: pretty much leading every statistical category with the exception of
- 25:29Speaker 1: on base and batting average. And that's Randy Rose arenas.
- 25:33Speaker 6: Territory, just like we predicted with those two. Yeah, Randy
- 25:36Speaker 6: an lu.
- 25:37Speaker 1: And this month and this is May fifteenth, Happy birthday
- 25:42Speaker 1: to my sister Jamie.
- 25:43Speaker 6: Oh, happy birthday Jamie.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Yes, May fifteenth, So fifteenth of a month. That suggests
- 25:49Speaker 1: halfway through, right, usually thirty to thirty one days in
- 25:52Speaker 1: a month usually. Yeah, he already has five home runs
- 25:55Speaker 1: and fourteen runs batted in this month.
- 25:58Speaker 5: That's pretty good.
- 25:59Speaker 1: Yeah, that is very good. So Luke Rayley as somebody
- 26:02Speaker 1: that was kind of an afterthought in our off season
- 26:06Speaker 1: discussions and our stove operation and our spring training plans.
- 26:11Speaker 1: I mean I mentioned this yesterday. Every time that I
- 26:14Speaker 1: did an off season podcast with Anders and we went
- 26:17Speaker 1: through different areas of the team, I said, and don't
- 26:19Speaker 1: forget about Luke Rayley. And I'm not trying to pat
- 26:21Speaker 1: myself on the back, because it was a bit of
- 26:24Speaker 1: an afterthought for me as well. It was you know,
- 26:28Speaker 1: it was very easy to kind of forget that he
- 26:31Speaker 1: could be a piece. We knew he was going to
- 26:34Speaker 1: make the roster but could he be a significant piece
- 26:37Speaker 1: this year, and he's probably been the most significant piece.
- 26:41Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I would, I would deist with that.
- 26:44Speaker 6: It is crazy as That's why when I'm joking like,
- 26:46Speaker 6: just like we predicted, because between him and Randy, I mean,
- 26:50Speaker 6: Randy's been our most consistent probably and who would have
- 26:54Speaker 6: thought that, lot like coming off of last year.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Most consistent hitter and also most consistent mistake maker and defense. Yeah,
- 27:01Speaker 1: he's really good at that too.
- 27:04Speaker 6: Well, you know what you get one, you got to
- 27:06Speaker 6: take with the one with the other good with the bat.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Hey, we're getting better out of Randy than we've ever gotten.
- 27:11Speaker 1: He's been great so far. Yeah, Mariners win at eight
- 27:14Speaker 1: to three. Luis Castillo almost got through six innings, which
- 27:17Speaker 1: is an improvement five and two thirds. Yesterday. He ended
- 27:20Speaker 1: up allowing three earned runs, struck out six, but he
- 27:24Speaker 1: was given such a big lead to work with that
- 27:27Speaker 1: he got the job done for his first win this year. Now,
- 27:30Speaker 1: I know wins people don't value them the way that
- 27:33Speaker 1: they used to once upon a time, but pitchers value them.
- 27:38Speaker 1: I can tell you that pitchers still value them. They
- 27:40Speaker 1: want the win that day, They want to believe that
- 27:42Speaker 1: when they walked off the mound. They did their job,
- 27:44Speaker 1: and a win is sometimes an indicator of that. So
- 27:48Speaker 1: he got his first win. He did not look happy.
- 27:50Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. He was in the
- 27:51Speaker 1: dugout and people had to go over him to make
- 27:53Speaker 1: sure he was okay. So I don't know why. Luis
- 27:56Speaker 1: threw his best game since the first game that he
- 28:00Speaker 1: pitch this year and seemed to be a little bothered
- 28:02Speaker 1: by something. I don't know what that was. But nonetheless,
- 28:06Speaker 1: considering that this is the first week of the six
- 28:09Speaker 1: man rotation and Bryce is back and Emerson apparently he's
- 28:12Speaker 1: not going to get kicked out of the starting rotation,
- 28:15Speaker 1: Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller both pitched well the last
- 28:18Speaker 1: couple of days.
- 28:18Speaker 5: Yeah, and that was exactly what we needed.
- 28:20Speaker 6: And maybe he's motivated by the fact that they're testing
- 28:23Speaker 6: out the six man rotation and they don't know what
- 28:26Speaker 6: the plan is after that, and he's saying, Okay, well,
- 28:28Speaker 6: I'm not going to give you a reason to send
- 28:30Speaker 6: me to the bullpen.
- 28:32Speaker 5: Maybe that's what he's trying to do. I don't know.
- 28:34Speaker 5: I think he would have been motivated this whole time.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Yeah, little game face, Little game face, action. Here's Dan
- 28:39Speaker 1: Wilson after the win.
- 28:40Speaker 7: Yeah. Really nice way to end the road trip here.
- 28:43Speaker 2: You'll get the win, get the winning road trip here,
- 28:45Speaker 2: win the series, you know, and to do it.
- 28:49Speaker 8: In a way where you know, again everybody contributing up
- 28:51Speaker 8: and down the lineup.
- 28:53Speaker 7: I thought the Rock through the belt very well. You know,
- 28:55Speaker 7: he really had a great game plan.
- 28:57Speaker 2: I thought he and Garb work tremendously today and you know,
- 29:02Speaker 2: to get to one hundred and seven pitches or whatever,
- 29:05Speaker 2: he did just a just a great outing right.
- 29:07Speaker 7: There for him. And you know, I think he hit
- 29:09Speaker 7: ninety eight a couple of times. He had a good
- 29:11Speaker 7: fastball and worked off with that, turned it over to
- 29:14Speaker 7: the bullpen.
- 29:14Speaker 2: That that, you know, really did a nice job offensively,
- 29:18Speaker 2: you know, tremendous at bats, a.
- 29:21Speaker 8: Lot of two albums today, which was huge, and uh,
- 29:24Speaker 8: you know.
- 29:24Speaker 7: I think Rail has given us the three runs there
- 29:26Speaker 7: in the first siting. What a great at bat. I
- 29:29Speaker 7: think that that was a big lift for us, A
- 29:31Speaker 7: big lift for the Rock too. We talked about that
- 29:33Speaker 7: a lot, getting getting early runs. Let's let the Rock
- 29:35Speaker 7: get settled, let any pitcher get settled. They were able
- 29:38Speaker 7: to look to that today and then add on runs
- 29:40Speaker 7: Garb with the big glass. I thought, I thought Garb
- 29:43Speaker 7: all around today, the.
- 29:44Speaker 8: Bull sets of the balls are very impressive, his challenges,
- 29:47Speaker 8: calling the game, hitting, you know, the big homer there,
- 29:50Speaker 8: I thought it was huge live across, so, uh, you know,
- 29:55Speaker 8: just a great game for him all around.
- 29:57Speaker 1: You know, that's mandatory for all Major League Baseball managers
- 30:01Speaker 1: to refer to all of their players by their nicknames
- 30:03Speaker 1: every single time.
- 30:04Speaker 5: Yes, have to.
- 30:06Speaker 1: Hey, Garv caught the Rock today in the Rock. I
- 30:08Speaker 1: thought that a nice job, and Garve allowed him to
- 30:11Speaker 1: do a nice job.
- 30:12Speaker 6: So after they walked back to the dugout, Garve said
- 30:14Speaker 6: to the Rock, great job, Garf.
- 30:17Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, great job Rock, So good job Garve, Good
- 30:19Speaker 1: job the Rock. Yeah, they really got the job done today,
- 30:23Speaker 1: those two, the Rock and Garf. And we might we
- 30:28Speaker 1: might have to do this right now. I feel like
- 30:30Speaker 1: I'm stealing a cookie from the cookie jar behind Mom's
- 30:33Speaker 1: back right now. But I don't know when Bucky's going
- 30:36Speaker 1: to return. It could be next week, and we are
- 30:38Speaker 1: we we have a new starting catcher for at least
- 30:41Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. And his name is Garv. Apparently, yes,
- 30:45Speaker 1: and we might not be allowed to give him compliments
- 30:49Speaker 1: whenever you know who comes back in his seat, So
- 30:53Speaker 1: we better slip one in right now. Is there a
- 30:57Speaker 1: chance that Mitch Garver could be a real X factor
- 31:00Speaker 1: for this baseball season? That that that little signing to
- 31:04Speaker 1: bring him back when we had already committed to Andrew
- 31:07Speaker 1: Kissner as the backup, and CALC talked to the organization
- 31:10Speaker 1: into bringing Garv back, and now all of a sudden,
- 31:14Speaker 1: I mean, he's not hitting right and he still has
- 31:17Speaker 1: very aggravating at bats, but if he can in Cal's absence,
- 31:22Speaker 1: he seems to have a great relationship with all the pitchers.
- 31:25Speaker 1: They don't seem to miss a beat when he's behind
- 31:28Speaker 1: the plate, and they did when Sebbi Zavalla was bhyding play.
- 31:30Speaker 5: Absolutely, they don't seem to miss abeat.
- 31:32Speaker 1: They seem to really like him. I think is at
- 31:34Speaker 1: bats that lately have been better. Yeah, he drew a
- 31:37Speaker 1: great walk the game before and then he hits his
- 31:40Speaker 1: first home run. If he actually gets some regular playing
- 31:43Speaker 1: time and kind of settles in and feels like I
- 31:45Speaker 1: got to do this for Cal, he did it for me,
- 31:47Speaker 1: I got to do this for Cal. Could Mitch Garver
- 31:50Speaker 1: be an X factor this season.
- 31:52Speaker 6: Well, the reason I made the face when he says
- 31:53Speaker 6: that was because I was like, wow, that is something
- 31:55Speaker 6: I had not thought of at all. But I mean,
- 31:59Speaker 6: how perfectly Mariners would that be?
- 32:02Speaker 1: Exactly?
- 32:04Speaker 5: So yes, let's do it exactly that.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Ten days from now, we're like, man, I hope Cal
- 32:09Speaker 1: stays on the il for a longer period of time.
- 32:11Speaker 1: We need guard, yeah, because we got to keep Garving
- 32:15Speaker 1: the line. Honestly, wouldn't you love for that to be
- 32:18Speaker 1: Not that we won't have that conversation, but wouldn't you
- 32:21Speaker 1: love to just see Garve for the next ten days,
- 32:23Speaker 1: just like go on fire?
- 32:25Speaker 6: I would love it.
- 32:26Speaker 1: We put together a ten game winning streak and suddenly
- 32:29Speaker 1: we're like, I don't know if I want Cal back? Cal?
- 32:32Speaker 6: Are you sure your oblique is better? Should we rest
- 32:35Speaker 6: a little longer? And so Cal would be like, I
- 32:37Speaker 6: ain't messing with a streak.
- 32:39Speaker 5: Meet me here.
- 32:40Speaker 1: Look, I'm always for the story. Please baseball gods, let
- 32:44Speaker 1: that happen. Let Mitch Garver for the next ten days
- 32:47Speaker 1: just play out of his mind. Let's go on a
- 32:50Speaker 1: ten game winning streak and then have to discuss what
- 32:54Speaker 1: do we do now with Cal? Now that Garve's the catcher.
- 32:57Speaker 6: Should we bring Callen to dh Can cowplay first?
- 33:04Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, we can dream.
- 33:08Speaker 1: It's funny because it's not, because it wouldn't right. Emerson
- 33:12Speaker 1: Hancock versus Randy Vasquez is your pitching matchup tonight, first
- 33:16Speaker 1: pitches at six forty. The Padres are in town. These
- 33:19Speaker 1: two faced off head to head the last time we
- 33:22Speaker 1: faced the San Diego Padres in San Diego. But the
- 33:26Speaker 1: Vetter Cup now comes to Seattle starting tonight and a
- 33:30Speaker 1: chance again to get back to five hundred, and who
- 33:32Speaker 1: knows by Monday, maybe we are over five hundred. That
- 33:36Speaker 1: would require a sweep, but maybe we are over five hundred.
- 33:39Speaker 1: Let's at least get to five hundred by Monday. Show yes, please,
- 33:43Speaker 1: let's do that, all right? Coming up next, Eddie Olcick
- 33:46Speaker 1: was already on with us once this week, and he
- 33:49Speaker 1: started off our hockey conversation by talking about his love
- 33:53Speaker 1: for the ponies. And we're in the midst of the
- 33:56Speaker 1: Triple Crown races right well, Eddie, I asked for him
- 34:00Speaker 1: for picks for the Preakness since he brought it up,
- 34:03Speaker 1: and he said, no, no, no, no, no, I can't do
- 34:05Speaker 1: that right now. I need time. Call me back on Friday.
- 34:08Speaker 1: I'll come on and I'll give you my picks. So
- 34:10Speaker 1: we're gonna get his hockey picks and his Preakness picks
- 34:12Speaker 1: next on KJR Y Good morning to you all. Happy Friday.
- 34:22Speaker 1: It is Chuck and Ashley with you. And earlier this
- 34:25Speaker 1: week we had the pleasure. It's always a pleasure to
- 34:28Speaker 1: chat with Eddie Oldchick. I get to call him Edzoe
- 34:30Speaker 1: because we've become fast friends. Not everybody gets to do that, apparently,
- 34:35Speaker 1: but he came on with us to talk some hockey
- 34:38Speaker 1: and the next thing you know, we're talking ponies and pucks.
- 34:41Speaker 1: We're talking about the Preakness. If you didn't already know,
- 34:45Speaker 1: at Old Chick is a huge fan of horse racing,
- 34:48Speaker 1: and so I asked him for his picks at the
- 34:51Speaker 1: end of the interview and he said, Chuck, come on, now,
- 34:54Speaker 1: you know I don't do that to me. I haven't
- 34:57Speaker 1: had time to break it down yet, but if you
- 34:59Speaker 1: call me later on the week on Friday, I'll have
- 35:02Speaker 1: my picks ready to go. Well, you don't have to
- 35:05Speaker 1: tell Ashley and I twice we called up Eddie. Oh,
- 35:08Speaker 1: and we now have him on the radio. Program to
- 35:10Speaker 1: get his picks. How are you, sir?
- 35:13Speaker 3: Well, good morning, Chuck. How's everything and how's everything in Seattle?
- 35:17Speaker 1: This morning? Everything is great? How are things really? Where
- 35:19Speaker 1: are you right now?
- 35:21Speaker 3: I'm actually just got home from Colorado. I did Game
- 35:26Speaker 3: five of that series where the Avalanche had the big
- 35:29Speaker 3: comeback down three nothing to Minnesota and they advanced to
- 35:32Speaker 3: the conference finals. And last night we saw their partner
- 35:35Speaker 3: and it'll be the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western
- 35:37Speaker 3: Conference Final starting sometime next week. So I'm actually back
- 35:41Speaker 3: in Chicago. I have the week oh fam and being
- 35:50Speaker 3: able to sit on my couch and be able to
- 35:52Speaker 3: watch the Racist tomorrow. So looking forward and off weekend.
- 35:56Speaker 1: All right, well, let's get your Avalanche Golden Knights pick
- 36:00Speaker 1: first and then we'll get your Preakness picks.
- 36:04Speaker 3: Well, I mean, Vegas is playing really well. They're getting
- 36:07Speaker 3: great goaltending from Carter Hart. They didn't get that towards
- 36:11Speaker 3: the end of the season. Then he ended up making
- 36:13Speaker 3: the coaching change where Bruce Cassidy was out. John Tortorella
- 36:17Speaker 3: came in, just tweaked a couple of things, but they
- 36:20Speaker 3: got healthy. They got Carter Hart Beck the goaltender and
- 36:23Speaker 3: here they are four wins away from going to another
- 36:26Speaker 3: Cup Final. Colorado just seems to be at another level though, Chuck, Yeah,
- 36:31Speaker 3: you have depth. They were missing a couple of huge
- 36:34Speaker 3: players in the last couple of games in that series
- 36:36Speaker 3: against Minnesota r Terry Lekinon and Sam Malinsky. On the
- 36:40Speaker 3: back end, Cale mccarr looks like he's banged up. The
- 36:43Speaker 3: tremendous defenseman there, but just looks like to me, Colorado
- 36:47Speaker 3: just might have the depth and have the wherewithal to
- 36:51Speaker 3: be able to overcome any adversity. So I would I
- 36:56Speaker 3: expect it to be a longer series. I mean, I'm
- 36:58Speaker 3: hearing people thinking Colorado in five or six. I'm thinking
- 37:02Speaker 3: more six or seven, because I do think Vegas has
- 37:04Speaker 3: the experience to be able to push them and defensively
- 37:10Speaker 3: be able to stay with Colorado. But I think somehow,
- 37:13Speaker 3: some way, Colorado finds us way to the Cup Final.
- 37:16Speaker 1: All right, Eddie Elchick is with us here on Chucking
- 37:18Speaker 1: Buck in the morning, talking pucks and ponies, as he
- 37:21Speaker 1: put it earlier this week. So who we taken at
- 37:24Speaker 1: the Preakness Stakes tomorrow? Everybody has pen and paper out
- 37:28Speaker 1: right now, ed Zoe, we want to know where you're going.
- 37:31Speaker 3: With this, all right, So about four o'clock Pacific tomorrow
- 37:37Speaker 3: on NBC the running of the Preakness, which this year
- 37:40Speaker 3: will be run at Laurel Racetrack. Usually it's running Baltimore
- 37:43Speaker 3: at Pimlico, but they're under some construction there, so it's
- 37:47Speaker 3: going to be run tomorrow about four o'clock your time.
- 37:51Speaker 3: And I'm gonna look at number ten, Napoleon Solo, who
- 37:55Speaker 3: comes out of a live race in New York back
- 37:58Speaker 3: on the fourth of April, and that particular race, the
- 38:03Speaker 3: third place finisher of that particular race ended up running
- 38:07Speaker 3: third in the Kentucky derby the horse by the name
- 38:10Speaker 3: of o'celly. Now with o'celly Chuck, the horse has never
- 38:13Speaker 3: won before. It still hasn't won, but o'celly is running
- 38:17Speaker 3: in the Preakneess tomorrow. He will be number two. But
- 38:20Speaker 3: I think Napoleon Solo Ranny better race back in April
- 38:24Speaker 3: and New York. I think you'll see number ten up close.
- 38:28Speaker 3: I don't want to see the number ten on the lead.
- 38:31Speaker 3: They're going a mile in three sixteenths. But I feel
- 38:34Speaker 3: that Napoleon Solo Ranny very good race in that last
- 38:37Speaker 3: race in New York. Even though he got he finished fifth,
- 38:41Speaker 3: he never stopped trying. I'm gonna look for a horse
- 38:43Speaker 3: that could be close, make that big run down down
- 38:47Speaker 3: the stretch and hopefully hold off morning lines eight to one.
- 38:51Speaker 3: So my prick will be number ten Napoleon Solo. I'm
- 38:54Speaker 3: also gonna use number nine Iron Honor. I'm gonna use
- 38:57Speaker 3: number two Ocelly, who I mentioned ran third in the
- 39:00Speaker 3: Kentucky Derby and number five talking so number ten nice,
- 39:05Speaker 3: number nine, number two and number five and race thirteen
- 39:08Speaker 3: at Laurel tomorrow.
- 39:10Speaker 1: I got Bill Benter on the phone with me here.
- 39:12Speaker 1: I got Jerry Bailey breaking it down for us in
- 39:16Speaker 1: Eddie Olchick right now? So can I play? Will they
- 39:19Speaker 1: let me play a parlay of the Avalanche and Napoleon
- 39:22Speaker 1: Solo at any sports book? Think that'll be allowed?
- 39:27Speaker 3: You might have to physically do that, and considering the
- 39:31Speaker 3: races tomorrow, So if you want to, you know, get
- 39:34Speaker 3: ten dollars to wait on Napoleon Solo. Maybe you get back,
- 39:38Speaker 3: hopefully you get back north of eighty dollars, and then
- 39:41Speaker 3: you take that eighty dollars and do what you want
- 39:43Speaker 3: with it with the Colorado Avalanche.
- 39:44Speaker 1: Ashley says that she's trust you so much she's going
- 39:48Speaker 1: to put her child's entire college fund on Napoleon Solo.
- 39:51Speaker 1: Would you recommend that?
- 39:55Speaker 3: No, to answer the question, no, I would not, not
- 39:58Speaker 3: the entire part, but me a portion.
- 40:01Speaker 6: Yeah sure, I mean to be fair, her college fund
- 40:03Speaker 6: is like twenty bucks right now, so.
- 40:06Speaker 1: Put ten on it. Okay, yeah, a good solid hat.
- 40:11Speaker 3: Actually, actually I'll sponsor ten for you.
- 40:14Speaker 6: All right, here we go, let's do this.
