Furness Show 5-8: Rob Rang, Danny O'Neil, John Haarlow · The Ian Furness Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, So M's tonight in Chicago against the White Sox.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Hancock's on the mound. His name just resonates for a
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: lot of different reasons. A. He's been great. B. Bryce
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Miller's back soon. Correct. So if you missed our conversation
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: with Ino Sarah's yesterday from the Athletic, he went down
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the road like a lot of people have. I think
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Greg talked about today, the six man rotation road, and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you know, it makes sense on a lot of levels.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: The Castillo struggles when is when does the rock again
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: tomorrow or Sunday?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Saturday? I think it is tomorrow tomorrow.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I can actually tell you they sent the game notes out,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: which would have wait for it the probables.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I know it's Hancock tonight, cast you tomorrow.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, CASTI you tomorrow. Hancock's good tonight. Castille's not good tomorrow.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Then maybe it is the what did she and call
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: it the the Dodger vacation or.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is?
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Exacteah, yeah, or take a little time off arm soreness,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Arm soreness? Well, I mean the thing with the picture
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: is you can get away with like arm fatigue. Yeah,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: And the problem is that one's that one's hard to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: if you really want to try to sell that. As
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you know told us yesterday, Castillo's velocity is fine. Yeah, usually,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: like if you do have arm fatigue, it's an issue.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It's it's your velocity, and that's not the case right now. Like,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: his velocity is.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Fine, and it's one of those things where I think
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: the managers are going to talk to Castillo be like, hey,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: do you how interested are you and still helping this
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: team go into the bullpen?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: If you are great? Awesome. I like the six man rotation.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I think that honestly benefits everyone the most.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And he knows for people to kind of want to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: push back on, I'll just give you what he sell,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: parrot what he said I thought it was, and he
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: knows a hell a lot more about pitching than any
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: of us.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Yep, it's true.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: He said, unless you have a true, true one and
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: maybe a one and a one a like that are
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: just head and shoulders above everybody schoogle types. And how
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: many those guys are there?
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Like five or six?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You might you mentioned two of them? Yeah, okay, Sales
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: got great high end pitching. Kirby's great woo at his
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: best is fantastic. Obviously, Walter is great. I mean, they've
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: got guys, but they don't have Paul Skins, they don't
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: have Trek Scoobele. And the only reason you don't do
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a six man if you have the opportunity to, like
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: in this case, is because you want those guys going
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: every five days. You don't want to skip a day
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: with them. And so that would seem to make Two
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: things seem to make sense with Castilla, with with and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: again it's all based on Bryce Miller being back soon.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Two things make sense. One six man rotation. See how
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that goes for a week or two and two or
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: two he develops arm soreness, fatigue, forearm stiffness, whatever whatever
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you know, Like hockey's got lower body and upper body injuries.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Pictures have fatigue, stiffness, soreness, what have you. And because
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: they're pictures and they're fragile with their arms, and that's
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: not a criticism, it's just a reality. You put them
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: on the aisle and he's out for two weeks, fifteen days,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, and then you try to resettle on
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the wave some bullpen sessions, maybe get him rehab assignment and.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Honestly, maybe a little step back could help them. He's
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: made more starts than anyone else in this rotation the
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: last three years.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So and he's when he's on, he's on. He's really good,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And even though Julio has been better, even though you're
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: gonna get Donovan back, et cetera, this team's only is
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: going to go as far as the as their pitching goes.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: They've been without one guy already and Bryce Miller. You
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: don't need to have another guy not be like all
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of a sudden if you go from you could go
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: from six to four pretty quick. We saw those guys
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: all get banged up at one point last year, right
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: except for cast Deal.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Wasn't he healthy? Was the only one that was healthy
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: all year?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So maybe that's part of it too in a way.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: You go, good problem to have, though, I mean, they've
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: got the depth in pitching. They've got six. Let's just
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: say they've got six. Not many people have. Not many
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: people have three or four. They got six. That's a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: nice little problem to have. So Chicago this weekend, we'll
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: get to that all right, coming out, Rob Rang's going
• 4:00

• 5:20
  Speaker 1: could come into play today with our conversation Rob, my friend,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: how are you?
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: I'm doing very well, sir, how are you?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Were you out there on Saturday and your orange shirt?
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: I was actively recruiting the players that maybe the Seahawks
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: didn't feel like we're the best fits for them, but
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: I was hoping that maybe some of those players might
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: be following me north because our mini campus starring this
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: week and training camp actually starts next.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Week in Camloops. I do believe place I've been too often.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I love Campoops, great little town up there. Well, let's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: get to draft picks and then we'll talk about the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: undrafted free agents, other guys there that might have caught
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: your eye first time you got to lay eyes personally,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and you know on on some of these draft picks.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Let's start first with your impressions. Again, there's not there's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: no hitting, there's no contact, there's limited stuff that they
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: can do. But when you walked out there and laid
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: eyes for the first time on Jadarian Price, would you think.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: I thought this is the goods? I mean, he is.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: He's as advertised as I expected.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: Uh, you know, I think he's just gonna be a
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: handing glove fit for the Seahawks and this wide zone offense,
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: as you said, and I mean, you know, you're not
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: going to be able to see the ability to bounce
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: off of contact, uh, you know, and some of the
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: other things they're critical to being a successful running back
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: in the NFL. But what you could do is you
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: could see the vision, you could see the quickness.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: You certainly could see his hands out of the backfield.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: It's one of the reasons why I kind of scoffed
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: at the notion that jenari On Price doesn't have good
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: hands out of the backfield.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: I know that he didn't have very many.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: Catches at Notre Dame, but he was used as their
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: primary kick returner and I didn't see any drops during
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: his time at Notre Dame. And Brian Fleury, the new
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: offense coordinator for the Seahawks of course, used Christian McCaffrey
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: the forty nine ers as much as any running back
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: has ever been used as a pass catcher. McCaffrey had
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: seven touchdown receptions a year ago, leading all NFL running backs.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: So there's no doubt that the Seahawks offense in twenty
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: twenty six is going to throw the ball a lot
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: to the running backs. And I thought that was one
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: of the years in which Price really excelled during Saturday's practice.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that was the thing. I'm just going
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: back to the draft. We can coverage with you and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: he and myself as we're talking. I mean, you were
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: pretty adamant about that, and I thought it was a
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: good point, Like, you know, you're not you're not putting
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: a guy back there for kicks and be as a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: return guy if you don't trust his hands. And I
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: just on Friday watching him a little bit, caught a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: couple of screen passes and things like that. Looked very
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: comfortable doing it. I think it's just opportunities, right, That's
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the only reason that we didn't see it before. You
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: just didn't have as many opportunities exactly.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: And that's the thing is that you know that's That's
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: what kind of goes with the line of being a
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: scout is you have to be able to, you know,
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: identify some of the skills that actually translate very well
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: to the NFL. And and and while the numbers weren't there,
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: necessarily the hand eye coordination, the focus, the ability to
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: gather a pass in bounce off of contact and never
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: allow the ball to be exposed to let it become
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: a pass breakup or a force fumble. Those things just
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: looked very natural to him on tape A. One of
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: the reasons why again kind of just scoffed at the
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: idea that he's not going to be an effective receiver
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: on the backfield.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I know we didn't do a lot, but Bud Clark
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: was their second pick, second round number sixty four. Overall,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the safety out of TCU that could be a Kobe
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Bryant replacement.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: He could be.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: And that's one of the things that was most intriguing
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: about him is just the way that I mean, just
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: the way that he moves. As you said, he and
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: both he and Enginedari and Price remain unsigned. Price I was
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: surprised as a first round selection that he still talked
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: his way onto the field as much as he did
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: or as Bud Clark was on the field oft times,
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: but he was not participating quite as much as Jadari
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: and Price, so that that was interesting to me. But
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: Bud Clark was there, his young son was there, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: just that that great smile, the enthusiasm interacting with his
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: new teammates. You can just see why Seattle kind of
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: fell in love with his personality. And then as far
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: as the tape, we've talked about this, you know, just
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: the ball skills that he possesses, the positional flexibility. You know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: he's six foot one, one hundred and eighty eight pounds,
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: and so you're always going to have some worries about
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: durability at the safety position, but he was durable at TCU.
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: He did drop down and play that nickel cornerback spot,
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: and he's got the movement skills to be able to do.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: That in the NFL as well. So, yeah, you're right.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's a.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of the physical traits there that suggest
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: that he could be Kobe Bryant for Seattle. I think
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: that he actually in terms of his ball skills, he
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: might actually wind up being an upgrade.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you were pretty adamant about that right during the draft.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: You think this could be an upgrade. And you know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: we talked to Corbyn Smith yesterday, your partner on some
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: of the podcasts there, and you know he did, I
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: think the comparisons in terms of Kobe Bryant and Bud
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Clark coming out of the UH And I'm sure you
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: guys talked about this and do this, but did the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: comparisons of the two guys coming out of college and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: how their testing grades were and it wasn't even close.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: How much more athletic Bud Clark is.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: Bud Clark is a better athlete, I mean just straight
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: line speed, you know, and obviously the ball skills again,
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: I mean the fifteen career interceptions. It's funny because you know,
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: people might remember, I mean, Kobe Bryant was the Thorpe
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: Award winner as the nation's best defensive back when he's
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: coming out of Cincinnati, and that's despite the fact that
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: he was playing opposite another corner, Sauce Gardner, who of
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: course had become an NFL All Pro safety and Brian
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: Cook who signed for big time dollars in free agency
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: this past season as well, So very talented secondary and
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: yet it was Kobe Bryant who wound up actually getting
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: the Big Time Award. But Bud Clark actually has better
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: ball skills, And I just think that's a really nice
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: fit in this defense because there are so many difference
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: makers already that now another guy who you know, kind
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: of mixing my sports analogies here but kind of plays
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: above the rim as well as he does. I just
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: think it's going to lead to an awful lot of
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: the splashy interceptions or tipped passes that lead to somebody
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: else getting interceptions. That is exactly what Mike McDonald has
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: helped create this defense all about.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: It is a rob rang brought to by Ferrelli's Pizza.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Joining us here on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline. I'm gonna
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: lump all the corners together in a minute, so I
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: want to jump down their fifth round pick, which we
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: didn't think they would have as we're sitting there on
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that Saturday, and they picked both Stevens, a guard out
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: of Iowa. When they made that pick, you were pretty
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: happy about it. You kind of said, hey, this is
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a guy that you probably had ranked a little bit
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: higher than a fifth round pick. Overall, looked like he
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: was working on Friday when I was there last week
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a week ago today, he was working at right guard
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: quite a bit. Where was he working when you saw him?
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: What'd you think about Bo Stevens?
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: I liked him, and he was working exclusively at right
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: guard both on Friday when you were there Saturday when
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: I was there, I talked to well John Schneider himself
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: as well as some of the other scouts and kind
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: of talked not so much specifically with Schneider about Bo Stevens,
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: some of the other players at seele selected and kind
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: of some of their moves and the moves that they made,
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: the moves that they didn't.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: But with Stevens and what I like about him is just.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: How quick he is, which is funny because you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: he didn't test very well and to Calmbine and the
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: ten yard split, the forty yard dashtime and none of
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: that was very impressive. But you know, it's almost like
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: you Darian Price and that he just knows where he's going.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: This is a three year starter at IOWA. Two of
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: those years were at right guard, one of those years
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: is at left guard. You know, obviously he could compete
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: to be the primary backup, but He's not going to
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: be challenging Gray Zabel at left guard, but he certainly
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: could be challenging Anthony Bradford's the right guard spot. I
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: just think that his quickness may makes him quickness, instincts, awareness,
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: all those things make him a really nice fit in
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: the wide zone blocking system as a run and blocker.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: And then just how stout he is.
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: He is broad, He is very physical with the point
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: of attack, and just a very aggressive player without being
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: overly aggressive. Some of the Christian Haynes, for example, Anthony
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: Bradford as well, sometimes they get a little bit too
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: far over their skis, so to speak, where they're lunging
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: at players, and that's why you see some of the
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: early misses. You don't see a lot of early misses
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: on bo Steve's taped. So I think that that consistency
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: is something that the offensive line coach John Benton will like,
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: and I could see that he liked it.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: Just during that first impression of the practice on Saturday.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I'm really curious when we get to like the when
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the veterans come back in with the rookies, the OTAs,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: but more importantly the June mini camp. I'm and then
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: obviously training camp in July and August. I'm curious with
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Bo Stevens Rob to see if Bo Stevens is a
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: guy that ends up getting some reps at center right,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: if it's a guy that, like, you know, does he
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: does he get some reps there as a backup to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to Jalen Sundell.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: I think it's a possibility.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: I think that that Seattle still is probably uh, you know,
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: pretty high.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: In fact, I know that they're pretty high on ol
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: with Timmy.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: Federico Marengez is another center that without their actually rookie
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: mini camp because he didn't have a crude first season
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: with the NFL this past year, I thought that he
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: performed well. Also, I believe that Boa Stevens can play
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: that center role.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: I just don't know that Seattle feels like he needs to.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: I think if they have a more of a plan
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: of possibly challenging for that right guard starting role even
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: as a rookie and so, and I don't think he's
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: going to be handed anything. I think he's actually going
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: to probably start off at third on the depth chart,
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: behind Bradford and then probably behind Bryce cable Do as well,
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: and then kind of worked his way up, but I
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: do believe that he has the potential to start right guard,
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: where they think at best he would be your third
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: string center.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you about Emmanuel Henderson Junior out of Kansas.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: He's a sixth round pick hundred ninety ninth overall. Heard
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: a lot about him on draft day and since then
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: kind of and we talked about him a little bit
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: last week. He's a guy that you know, yes he's
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: a receiver, but maybe more of a special teams guy.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: What did you see from him? And he laid eyes
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: on Emmanuel Henderson.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: You know, to me he was one of the more
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: interesting of Seattle's rookies just because there there's some guys
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: just move at a different level.
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, you can just see the instant.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: Explosive acceleration and he has that and so that's exciting,
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: you know. As you mentioned, and this is a former
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: running back that you know it had to make the
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: trend or made the transition to wide receiver. So I
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: didn't see any drops, but that is one thing I
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: do want to evaluate with him moving forward, because you're
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: not gonna likely see them the all of the full
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: branches of the route tree, so to speak, with a
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: player like Henderson, He's going to basically be a vertical threats.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: He's going to do some like drag routes across the
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: millle where his linear speed is going to be able
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: to to help him create big play opportunities. But it
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: is the fact that he is a well built player
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: at one hundred and eighty five pounds and you know
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: that former running back kind of frame, and then again
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: has that four.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: To three speed that you absolutely love.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: And then the special team's mentality that to me that
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: I didn't get a chance to watch a lot of
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: Jay Harvard and the special teams units, but I am
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: excited about what Emmanuel Henderson might be able to provide
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: the Seahawks as a gunner. You know, Drake Young coruses
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: one of the free agents that Seattle lost, but not
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: somebody that gets talked about a lot. But that gunner
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: position is going to be up for grabs. I do
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: think that Emmanuel Henderson has an opportunity to kind of
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: seize that role.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: Right now. It's going to be neam I.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: Pritchett, who is a good player in his own rights,
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: a quality gunner both as a on punt return or
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: may me punt defense and kick defense. But I want
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: to see if Seann is able to upgrade that position
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: with a younger, cheaper, faster player.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Rob I mentioned with with with Corbyn yesterday. When I
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: got out there on Friday, one of the guys that
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: just jumped out of me he was Devin Eastern. He
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: was a late pick two hundred and forty second overall,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: seventh round pick, no stackle out of Minnesota. Kind of
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: looks like off brand Red Bryant to me, like just
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: big man, tall, tall, but also thick and big. Late pick,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: seventh round, no guarantees, kind of a long shot in
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: some ways to make the roster. But boy, from a
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: physical standpoint, he jumps out at you.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: He certainly does.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: I mean, six foot five, he's, you know, three hundred
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: and twenty five pounds, got the thirty four inch arms.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's like the kind of guy that you
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: want walking off the bus first, just to put an
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: impression in people's minds like this is are the way
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: the Seahawks are built. And so I think that just
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: that his size is the very first thing that you
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: kind of notice. And then one of the things I
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: really liked about his tape was just consistency. You know,
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: he is one of those guys that you very rarely
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: saw him move backward. He just resets the point of
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: attack and just kind of bottle or basically gums things
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: up and doesn't.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: Allow anybody to get by him very much.
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: And I think that that lends itself to almost playing
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: a Red Bryant role, not only at that noseguard position,
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: but outside as well. He can kind of move up
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: and down the line of scrimmage. I was impressed by
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: his initial quickness and his lateral Jilie.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: I spent a lot of.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: Time watching the offensive and defensive lineman working out, and
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: I thought.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: That he was He performed very well for such a
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: big man.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I did too, and I just kind of, you know,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: off brand Red. Whatever he might be able to see
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: what training camp, preseason brings for him, I'll just love
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: them all together. Third round picked Julian Neil, seventh round
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: pick number one, Andre Fuller, seventh round pick number three,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Michael Dansby. All three corners of what jumped out at
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: you from those guys, just the.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: You know, the brashness first of Julian Neil, you know
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: he of course we heard about it during the draft
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: or heard from him during the draft itself, but just
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: the you know, he wanted to be out there as
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: many opportunities as he possibly could, So that's that's certainly encouraging.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: Just his size as well.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, you're talking my guy who's sixty one to
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: two hundred pounds, and so he looks a little bit
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: more like a safety. And so his going up against
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: some of the wide receivers that Seattle have the camp,
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: he just kind of was able to almost cloak them
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: at the point of attack with just his length and
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: just the way that he was aggressive in getting up
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: in their face and not giving them much of an
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: opportunity to even get off the line of scrimmage.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: So that was encouraging.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: I was really excited about just the with Andre Fuller,
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: just the awareness. That was one of the things that
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: stood out to me a little bit is that, you know,
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: there was some ups and downs with turning and locating
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: the football on his Toledo tape, but he did a
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: good job of that during camp. And then Michael Dansby,
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: just the athletic ability, I mean, his change of direction
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: was really impressive. There was one rep in particular whereas
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: he versus Emmanuel Henderson Junior, the receiver we talked about
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: from Kansas, and you know, the ball wasn't even thrown
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: their direction, but still it was impressive to see Dansby
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: stay hip to hip with Henderson again, another four to
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: three guy, you know, and and Dansby claims he ran
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: in the four twos, but you know, no scouts were
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: there at that workout because it was you know, he
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: wasn't able to work out during his pro dag due
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: to core injury, wasn't invited to the combine.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: So you know, I often say the proof is in
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: the pudding.
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: The proof was in the putting in that particular play
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: where he again showed the cover skills, being able to
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: stick with Emmanuel Henderson the whole time.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: All Right, They did sign some guys from UNDRAPT did
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: free agents. A handful of those guys Aiden Hubbard, Northwestern,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Dn Levi Wentz, a wide receiver, Marvin Jones also kind
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: of an edge rusher. And there's other guys as well.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: And I know you keep an eye on some of
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: those undrafted guys than one, two, three, four files eight
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: of them. I think they ended up signing any of
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: those guys jump out of you.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: Actually one of the biggest guys, Lucio sa Imlo six
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: foot three, three hundred and thirty pound nose guard from
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: Utah State. I think that he's just an interesting guy
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: and that, you know, for three hundred thirty pounds, clearly
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: that's more of your noseguard type.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Uh. And Brandon Peely I thought did a pretty nice
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: job a year ago.
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: At the same time, I do think that that as
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: a position that Seattle is always looking to kind of
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: turn over, and I thought that he moved well for
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: a man of his size, So I thought that he
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: was impressive. I'll actually stick with Utah State because they
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: had a running back, Miles Davis. I believe it was
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: either number one or number zero actually, uh, you know,
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: but he had a couple of long runs that showed
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: off some awareness, some lateral agility, and at least good
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: I don't know if it's an elite, but good breakaway
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: speed to make some big kind of chunk plays. So
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: those are a couple of guys that stand out. You
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: mentioned Marvin Jones Junior. He's an interesting one because he's
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: got a heck of NFL bloodlines. I mean, his dad,
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: Marvin Jones was number four overall section by the New
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: York Jets. At the same time, I see traits, I
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: don't see a well rounded player at disappoint So to me,
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: he is one of those practice squad kind of a
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: guy's but somebody that is worth gambling on just because
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: of the arm lengths. He got thirty four inch arms,
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: He's six foot five, he's two hundred forty five pounds.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: He's got quickness, he's got louder A Jiley, he's got
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: some power, He's got a lot of the traits that
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: you're looking for. But he is not as coordinated as
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: a couple of the players that that Seattle brought back.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: They didn't have that accrued season yet. J gains to
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: me as a player who was on Seattle's roster a
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: year ago. Ian, but to me, he was easily the
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: best of the pass rushers. And then if I mentioned
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: some of the offensive lineman before, like a Bo Stevens,
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: to me, the best offensive lineman there was Logan Brown,
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: former five star recruit at Wisconsin, wound up finish up
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: his college career at Kansas, was on per sales practice
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: squad most of last season.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: Ian.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: He feels like one of the players that is ready
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: to have take a big step forward.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: To me, he is a really intriguing.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: Tackle that nobody is talking about just yet, but they will,
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: and certainly my BC Lions will if he is somehow
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: ever available to us.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I like that idea.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Here's the other thing with as you mentioned that, with
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Logan Brown and Jones and other guys, you know, we
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: are gonna We mentioned it last week. I think we
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: are going to do a show at a Farelli's location
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: at some point, probably pre training camp during the summer.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I think it'd be fun to kind of go through guys,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the under the radar guys to watch, like the guys
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: you just mentioned, Gaines Brown, maybe guys like that that
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: could make some noise and it doesn't take us too
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: far back. It's just been a couple of years. Jalen
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Sindell was one of those guys, right Rob that just
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: kind of flew under the radar screen, undrafted free agent
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden now is a starting center
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: in an NFL Super Bowl champion tam Ship team exact.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: I love the fact that you mentioned Jalen Sundel because
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: that's exactly kind of the vibes I was getting there
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: with Logan Brown, and obviously, interior offensive line has been
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: a real bugaboo for the Seahawks for an awful long
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: time here, and offensive tackle is as locked down as
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: it gets with Charles Cross and Abe Lucas both you know,
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: signing multi year extensions still in their you know, hopefully
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: in their prime of their career. No one, I am
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: certainly not suggesting Logan Brown going to beat out either
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: Charles Cross, Abe Lucas or even uh Seaow's primary backup
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: at that position, at that swing tackle position in Josh Jones.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: But I do think that that when you have a good, young,
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: talented tackles, uh that is one of the hardest things
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: to find in professional football, whether it be at the NFL,
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: the CFL, the UFL, We're all looking for talented young tackles.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: Logan Brown's development to me is h It's something that
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: the Seahawks scouts are excited about, and it's certainly something
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: that offensive line coach John Benton is excited about and
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: should be proud of because he's he's played a role
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: in Logan Brown's development.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Great stuff, Rob, We'll talk again soon. Is always He's
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: always fun. You never know what I'm gonna give you
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: a call and get a Friday rob Rang hit. People
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: love him and I love hearing from you as well,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: So let's do it again soon.

  Speaker 7: three point three kJ R FM.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: All right, welcome back in here.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: We are rolling along.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Uh, good stuff from Robb Rang. Love having rob on
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: throughout the year, so much fun.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Always gives a different perspective, scouts perspective, Scout's perspective.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: He's uh, he's out there cherry picking some dudes to
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: take up to the Cflcadian Football League. Yeah, that does
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: a great job with the BC Lions, and then good
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: for him along the way. I read the in the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: commercial break, the Seth Wickersham story that Greg alluded to
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: earlier on ESPN dot com. Yeah, I think there's a
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: lot going on there. The the one thing thinking that
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: the NFL owners thinking they're going to get ten million
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. I understand that it's a billion, ten billion, yeh.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Keep saying it's just it's such an obscene number. Yeah,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: and you know, the Broncos, as they pointed out, bought
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: by the Walmart group six four point sixty five in
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Twenty twenty three, Commanders sold for six
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: point oh five. I don't know if you can really
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: compare other sports other than you know, because the Lakers
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: sold for ten billion. Lakers are Lakers, and the Yankees,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a handful of franchises are kind of
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: a different spectrum, ye, different, different atmosphere than anybody else.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: The one name that I saw that he that I
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: hadn't seen before is Steve A. Pastopolis, whatever his name is.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: The Canadian billionaire tried to buy the Commanders is a
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: potential buyer. They're not sure how real he is. That
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: one is the one that would make sense to me
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. The Canadian market markets have
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: been important to a handful of teams, specifically Buffalo Eastern Canada,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks in Western Canada for a long time. The
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Seahawks actually maintained an office, a BC office. I don't
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: think it's there. I don't think they do that anymore,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: maybe just because our world's gotten smaller with you know,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: the ability to do zooms and all that kind of
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: scheff and all those things.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: So I don't think it.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: But there's always been a very strong interest in the
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Seahawks north of the border. I do a weekly segment
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: with a TV slash radio slash podcast Donny and Dolly,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: all through the football season, and we combine a lot
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: of hockey in the Kraken obviously now, but about eighty
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: percent of what we talk about is Seahawks. And because
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: there's a big interest up there, Greg Bell does a
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: thing with another show that's kind of a podcast only show,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: but it's a big deal up there. They've kind of
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: torched their sports radio world, but he does stuff up
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: there with Sakaras and Price, which is also a big
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: show up there because of the Seahawks. A Canadian buying
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: a Canadian billionaire buying the Seahawks to me would make sense,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: like that would make sense. You want local ownership. Doesn't
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: appear anybody local is stepping forward, but that local ownership
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: values like the market the area understands it and everything else,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: whether it be BC, Alberta probably too. I mean Saskatchewan's
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: and Manitoba much smaller. But is that guy in BC
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: that you mentioned, say where he's from. Also, it's so
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: hard to like pinpoint where these owners are based because
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: they have like they have six houses, you know what
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: It's like I mentioned Krocky the other day. I looked
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: up where he lived, and he has a house in Montana.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: He has a house in la Is it, like.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I think if you're at that level now, don't doesn't
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: everybody have a house in Montana on a yes, like
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: a lake, a lake in Montana somewhere right, God, how
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Montana has changed. On a side note, And when I
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: was growing up, like that was just thought to be
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: a you know, not a hell hole, just kind of
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: a nouta's there. It's just a wasteland. Yeah, it's out
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: in the middle of you know. And now it's like,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: you got money, man, you want to be living in
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Montana on a lake, right, That's it.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: That's where the cash money is. Things have changed, they have. Hell.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Hell, when I grew up, nobody wanted to live in Ballard.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Now it's like you lived in ballor you're like, damn man,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: you're living in Ballad off you. I grew up in
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Queen Anne and then Magnolia. And I'm gonna tell you
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: right now, when we grew up and I say that now,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: people go, oh, not the same. It was not the
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: same back then. Yes, Like people were like everyone wanted
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: to live in Mercer Island or Bellevue, Kirkland, Kirkland, damn
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Hearing Kirkland. Yeah, things change over the years, but yeah,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: it is an interesting story because I think and that
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: kind of goes back to what Greg and I are
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: talking about cross talk, the whole valuation thing. We numbers
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: are being just thrown out there for the NBA, for example,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: just tossed out there eight nine ten million that I'm
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: gonna pay for that for an expansion franchise. Sure they will,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Sure they will. At some point. It doesn't fiscally make
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: any sense to do that. So it's you know, so,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: what's that what's the we talked about on was it yesterday?
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Yesterday we talked about the World Cup ticket rices? What's
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: your drop dead number? Like, what's like how much too much?
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: How much is too much? Even if you're a billionaire.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: At some point things are too much. We're not spending
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: that kind of money, and and and rightfully so, because
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: when you do spend that kind of money, guess what happens.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: It gets passed down to wait for it the consumer.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: So it happens.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what we'll see. It is an interesting
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: thing because I heard wits it yesterday again with Softy
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and Dick, and I thought he had a great point,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: like there's only so many teams that are for sale
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: or you could be bought and things like that. There's
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: only so many teams out there, and there's a list
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: of people that people want in the club. But like, hey,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: I'd like to join a country club at what price? Nope,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I'm out, Yeah, exactly right. Washington Athletic Club be kind
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: of cool to go hang out there every now and then.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: At what price?
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: I'm out.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: You want to join the club? Great, it's gonna cost
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: ten billion.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I'm out.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, I'll go back to my cabin.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: And that looks like a mansion. It's on a lake
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: in Montana. That's what I'll do. All right, we'll take
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: a break, we'll come back, let's reset the out we've
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: got to do it. We have a Mariner roster move
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: we'll give you in just a couple so we'll get
• 32:00

• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Before I get to the college football stuf, Danie Neil
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: by the way, at one twenty today, just real quick,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Donovan comes back.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: PARTA goes down. Not a surprise. Have we seen a
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: lineup yet?
• 35:00
  Speaker 9: No?
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: But I assume Donovan is going to be in it,
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: and they wouldn't have put him back in the roster
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: leading off.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, keep an eye on that.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: For me, Well, that's only that's only to me. That's
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: the only thing that matters right now, is like, is
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: he leading off JP? Go back to nine? What happens there?
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Cole Young hit? What sixth the other day or something
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: like that? I like seeing him up.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Do you have a lineup one minute ago?
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Brendan Donovan is leading off, Cal Rawly second, Julio third,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Naylor fourth, Raise a Rose rain of fifth, JP, Crawford sixth,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Luke Rayley seventh, dom Canzone eighth and Cole Young nine
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: hitter back to the nine. Why uh, he was having
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: more success at the bottom of the order, I will say.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: And with Brendon Donovan back, you do feel like the
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: this is a pretty strong lineup.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Strong line up. Yeah, no complaints, I'm not line.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Up, no no, And I think Cole Young like, there's
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: a reason why he was having success at the bottom
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: of the lineup. And you know he struggled a little
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: bit when they moved him up, So let's move back
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: down where he was doing well.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: God, Softy's right, This stupid thing they put in our studio.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I've just smat did you say, have you sat here yet?
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: I have.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: It's awful. I did it during a crack and broadcast.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: It sucks because they have to like then move all
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: the way to the left, but then the mic doesn't
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: reach all the way that way, so you're like kind
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: of leaning all the way over there.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Small things we worry about. I know, right, first problem.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: So how's the Big ten treating everybody?
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Boy, you're gonna get into this now, well just a
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: little bit, okay?
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, am I jealous because I'd rather have Lazoo in
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the Big Ten or Power Conference one hundred percent. I'm
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: not gonna lie to you like a hundred yes.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Keeping in mind God, Fox thirteen. I had to almost
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: call these guys other day. They did this whole story.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: The payout from the Big Ten this year came out.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Everyone made seventy million dout. No they didn't, No, they didn't. Washington,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Oregon are still half shure. So and there's a I
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: think Chun's talked about this with Softy. If I'm not mistaken. God,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I just say his name on the air for the
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: first time in three.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Days he really did. Anyway, It's it's a battle, right it.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: It's a battle because finances from a fan standpoint, how
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: much do you care? I don't know about I don't know.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Friday night game.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna get that. The money part of it,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: the money part of it, got it, Okay, the money
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: part of it, I think, you know what, there's a
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: lot made out of that. And there's a lot of
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: guilt thrown around. Every school throws around guilt. Hey, you
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: got to pay more if you're a bad fan. If
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: you don't give us more money, we're gonna struggle if
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: we don't. Yeah, Danny Sprinkle can't put together a team
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: without more money.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: He's had money, and his teams still haven't been good.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: So you know, paid great Osa War a million bucks
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: that didn't work out, not so great, not so great,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: god like, And here's the thing Sprinkle can coach. Okay,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: So there is something to that maybe, and we're gonna
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: get into by the way, side, note the expansion of
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: the tournament next week. Parish is gonna jump on with us.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Uh probably Tuesday or Wednesday next week, we'll see. But yeah,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: the the schedule to me is what as a fan,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: and I'll guarantee you a soft He's gonna come on
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: and say it doesn't matter. Well, he's working, it doesn't matter.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: You know why he went Saturday off.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: That's true, That's exactly why.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, Like he's not a normal fan, right, he's working
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the games. He does a seven hour pre game and
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: twelve hour postgame show. Yeah, if he's doing a show anyway,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't really change.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: That doesn't change anything.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: So whatever he says about games and times and dates, whatever,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Dick Baird would say, every game should be played atwelve
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: thirty on a Saturday. I don't necessarily disagree with this.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I don't either. I kind of like that.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: When I grew up, I mean I grew up, we
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: went to a couple of Husky games every year, jump
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: on the old eighteen bus out there in Ballard and
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: drove down, parked our car at the paying pack a lot,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: and took the bus and came back and were home
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: by four o'clock.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's not the way the world works. The
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Fox Friday night football schedule came out. TV schedule came
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: out big ten heavy. Washington has two Friday games, and
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: they are back to back October second and October ninth.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Washington on Talkctober second will play at North I'm sorry,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: October ninth and October sixteenth. October ninth, Washington will play
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: at home against Iowa October sixteenth. The Huskies in the
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: following week, so we said, guess it won't be a
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: short week. They will travel to Purdue. Now doing the
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: math here on the numbers, they I don't know if
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: it can you look up and see if they play
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: September twenty fifth for me, ub yeah, but they will
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: play because that's the week before. I don't play the
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: twenty sixth, I'm sorry. Do they play the second or
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: the third? October third? They play the third against USC
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: at home at USC. Wow, So come back short week
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: to Iowa host Iowa. So back to back Friday games Iowa,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Washington and Washington at Purdue. Now listen, produce awful even
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: though I got a new coach and stuff. That that's
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: you probably send a JB team there and win that game.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: But Iowa, it's not even about the competitive part of it,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: because at some point you're probably I have a short
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: week or whatever. I just that's that's neither here nor there.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I am curious four nine, four or five one from
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: a fans perspective because I hate Friday games from my team.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know what we have yet, and maybe it's
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: been announced. I haven't looked at it close enough. I
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: just hate him. I hated it when the PAC twelve
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: went to the Ones. I hate even more. The Thursday games. God,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I went to a Thursday game I think was it
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: might have been the last year of the PAC twelve
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: we played. We played Utah at home on a Thursday,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: and it was awful. Like it was awful, especially in Pullman,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: like a Thursday in Pullman, like you're so reliant on
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: ninety percent of your fan base coming in from out
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: of town and you play a six o'clock game or
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: a seven o'clock game.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: That was the game.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: If you remember that Petros lost his mind, that's right,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: because they were doing the game remotely, by the way,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: so I don't think you have that much to complain about.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: And if you're there, you can go talk to the
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: coach yourself. But they do the game remotely, and they
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: weren't told that their third string quarterback was going to
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: start for Utah. He still beat our ass. But that's
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: that's neither here or there. But that was a deal, right,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: So they play back that that Thursdays were awful, Fridays
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: weren't much better, but back to back Fridays. So to
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: lose two Saturdays in the Saturday is college.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Football Day, College Football Day.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: It just is, you know, the NFL. The only thing
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: they haven't been guilty of in terms of their absolute
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: massive ego and greed is the one date they've stayed
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: away from for the most part outside of Black Friday
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: is wait or a holiday Saturday is Fridays Friday. Because
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: that's that's why they're playing the stupid ass Australian game
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: on Thursday and the Seahawks are playing Wednesday because they
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: don't want to disrupt high school football on Fridays. Now,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: in some parts of the country, high school football is
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: a bigger deal than others. I'm going to tell you
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: right now here in our state, a lot of people
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: think that's not a big deal. I'm if you did
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: the cub of attendance at high school football games in
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: our state on a Friday, the number would probably astound you.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: I mean it's you go find an empty stadium in
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: the SPSL or Kinko or up north in Stahomish County,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: You're not going to find one. And then that's that
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: unders talking about the bigger school much less of smaller ones.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Friday night should be for high school football, period and
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: of story. Now, in the world we live in now,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: that's not the case with the college football because all
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: of TV dot numbers and all that. I think making
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: a team I'll be on Washington side here. I think
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: making a team play back to back Fridays is pretty
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: that's lame, that's that's not great. And again some people
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: will say they don't care. I think most you're fan,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: what do you think?
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: I don't like it at all. I totally agree with you.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: I think Saturday is the day for college football. I'm
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: a routine guy, especially now that I have a kid,
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: and it's going to be a little bit harder just
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: to kind of get up and watch any sporting event
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: as possible. That's during baseball season two. You know, that
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: adds into everything. It just I just don't really understand.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: I mean I kind of do with the money and everything.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: By the way, I did look at Wazo's schedule all
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: Saturdays as of now, every single it could change change.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of those are TVD But yes, yeah,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I know I don't like it. I don't
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: like it. It's it doesn't make a ton of sense.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: We have a small conference, and so because of that
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: fewer games. Yeah, and the deal they got with CW
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: and everything else they got, it probably won't be that way.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: But and looking at this, I mean, I guess one
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: of the games could have been. Interestingly enough, it could
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: have been they could have taken the Apple Cup on
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: the Friday, September fourth, at point that'll be Fresno State
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: USC will be that game. Because it's here this year,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: and because it's here that that would be a Fox game.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: I do believe.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: So they didn't do that. But yeah, I think I
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: just think it's ridiculous. Honestly, I think it's ridiculous and
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: on w hard for me to be this way on
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Washington side, not just playing too but playing back to
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: back early October and that should be a Saturday afternoon
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: October ninth, probably still have pretty good weather. Yeah, that
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: should be Take the boat head on out to Husky Stadium.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Some people say it's the greatest setting in football. I
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: don't think so, but some people would say that it's
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: ridiculous anyway, your thought's four nine four five one that
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: is to come a Dodge text line. But it's the
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: world we live in now, it is. It is just
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: the world we live in right now. I'll take a
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Friday over a Thursday. But it's like, you know, that's
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: like do I want to stick a needle in my
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: eye or walk over hot coals?
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Both suck, They're both awful.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: I don't like either. I don't like either one of
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: those opportunities, to be honest with you, At that point, I.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: Missed the days where it was, you know, every Saturday
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: afternoon was a you know, a Husky football game, and
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: then the Black Friday was the pack or it was
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: the Apple Cup.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: You know, the one that I the one that I
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: really you know, the Pac twelve after dark was such
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: a thing, and I know people complained about it. I
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: think at some point too, you have to look at
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: the market. And what I I mean by that is this,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: if you're playing a night game and it's what day
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: is it? First of all? And where is it like
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: a night game in Seattle? Honestly, fine, everything else here
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: is at night and ninety percent of your fan base
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: is coming from this area. So does it matter if
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: you're playing a Saturday night Hell, there's people that want
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: you got young kids. You'd rather have a seven o'clock game.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: You got soccer in the morning, you got baseball, whatever
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: you got going on in the morning for youth football.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: Boom.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: We can still go to the game. You play a
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Friday night game in Pullman. Not as much fun, Eugene.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: Everyone comes from Portland. It's going to be a two
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: hour drive. It's fine, you can make that work, right La.
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: For sure.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Traffic's gonna be bad no matter what day of the week,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: whenever it is. But when you have like local outposts,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: it just doesn't make sense. But I love this Saturday night.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: West Coast teams should be playing Saturday night college football,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: and there were so few of them last year if
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: you noticed, just wasn't the same. It's not just because
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: the PAC twelve is done. It just there weren't as many.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: They're just weren't as many games. I mean we didn't
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: even we Wazoo didn't even play that many.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's the conference changing doesn't change that the
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: places are still in the same locations.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: There's still a Pacific time zone. Yeah, there's still a Pacific.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: Times theoretically should have the same amount of games in
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: that time I would.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Assume we'll see a lot of those in the CW
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: this year. Okay, just with the PAC twelve and you know,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: like the new Pac twelve. Yeah, but people aren't gonna
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: be fired up about that initially. I mean Boise State, sure,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: I mean I like our conference for what we're able
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: to salvage out of it, but it's not the same. Now,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: I'll say this, a Boise State, Colorado State with Jim
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: Moore as a coach, for an improved Colorado State game
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: against Boise State on a Saturday night.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: I'd watch that.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: That's whatn That's that's more fun than you know, a
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: crappy Arizona team against a crappy Stanford team with thirty
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: people in the stams of Stanford. Yeah right, all right,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Danie O'Neil joined us. Coming up next.

• 47:34
  Speaker 8: England to reaffirm our victory in the American Revolution. I
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: don't want them getting froggy and thinking that they that
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: they that they run anything.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: We got to remind them.
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: Who won that war?
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what?
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: And nothing better to mind somebody about a conquering victory
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: in a World war effectively, even though it wasn't called
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: that than a win on a Montley cut, like nothing
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: says that. I mean, honestly, I've got some husky. I
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: got some husky stuff to get to you.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: In a second.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Let me do this. We spent some time last week
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: most of the time serious conversation and I appreciate it.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: I appreciate your openness. Danny nine years sober, and I
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: assume the streak is intact after.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: Hanging out with your buddies this weekend.
• 48:21
  Speaker 8: Okay, I did not crash off the wagon last week.
• 48:24
  Speaker 8: Yak Jack had one athletic over the course of the weekend.
• 48:28
  Speaker 8: So we're all finding good.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, perfect the I'm gonna you commented on something on
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: on social media to day. I'm gonna play this and
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: as you did, beep everything out right. Okay, good, thank you.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: I was scrambling in the brake to make sure, but
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: yes I did.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. I'm gonna play this. Uh because Danny comment,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: I want to just touch it on this real quick
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: and then we'll go from there.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: This is uh.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what the hell podcast this was
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: or anything else, but this is UFC Guru Dana White,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: take a listen.
• 48:55
  Speaker 10: I hate this whole men's mental health both that they
• 48:59
  Speaker 10: talk about.
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 49:02
  Speaker 10: Unfortunately, when you're a man, you are the provider. You
• 49:06
  Speaker 10: are the one that that takes care of your family.
• 49:10
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 49:11
  Speaker 10: You know you you are the example for your kids
• 49:15
  Speaker 10: when they grow up and your sons, you know, and
• 49:17
  Speaker 10: your daughters, and you know, unfortunately you you.
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: Can't be that guy.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: That's I see these guys posting on social media.
• 49:28
  Speaker 10: I had a bad day and I'm so sad and all.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: This other crazy.
• 49:34
  Speaker 10: It's just it's an attractive to other males, let alone women.
• 49:37
  Speaker 10: I can't even imagine. Uh yeah, I'm really against all that.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Uh before I jump in, Danie, I'll let your you
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: chimed in well on social media.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: So I do like Dana White or some of the
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: things Dana White's done. I've interviewed him a number of times,
• 49:59
  Speaker 8: talked to them a lot back when the UFC was
• 50:01
  Speaker 8: growing in popularity about twenty years ago. So I'm not
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: an anti data wide. I think that the message that
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: he's sending there is it reflects of you, of what
• 50:12
  Speaker 8: men should be. And there might have been a time
• 50:16
  Speaker 8: in world history where that idea of needing to constantly
• 50:20
  Speaker 8: project strength was important, and that time was when, right
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: about the time, people started living in groups and you
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: had to assert yourself otherwise all your stuff would get
• 50:30
  Speaker 8: taken Caveman time. And my opinion is that we have
• 50:35
  Speaker 8: developed enough as a society that that is not a
• 50:40
  Speaker 8: tactic that you need to constantly rely upon, and there
• 50:43
  Speaker 8: are some drawbacks to that. Never admit weakness, don't sort
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: of show your soft side as the provider you have
• 50:52
  Speaker 8: to be, and leaving alone all the ideas of why
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: we assume that the man has to be the provider,
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: which I don't think is accurate. It certainly doesn't reflect
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: my life, but you don't have to be that way,
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: and there are some real downsides to denying actual emotions
• 51:09
  Speaker 8: that you feel. And the one thing that I always
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: think when I hear someone say something like that, and
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: you do hear it a lot now because there are
• 51:17
  Speaker 8: a lot of people. I don't know how many people
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: are familiar with the manisphere, but there's a whole section
• 51:22
  Speaker 8: of the Internet out there that is dedicated to basically
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: affirming the idea of men being strong and having to
• 51:32
  Speaker 8: take what they want and going down into the nature
• 51:36
  Speaker 8: of partnerships and what it means to be the differences
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: between men and women, and I just I think all
• 51:44
  Speaker 8: that stuff is so immature. I just I think that
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: you're diluting yourself if you think that that's the way
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: you have to be in this day and age, and
• 51:54
  Speaker 8: if you talk about your feelings openly, you know what
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: you lose, What you actually lose is the internet applause
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: from people that want to affirm that men have to
• 52:07
  Speaker 8: be the soul breadwinner. The one thing I will say,
• 52:11
  Speaker 8: and I don't agree with Dana White on this, the
• 52:14
  Speaker 8: one thing I will say is that I do think
• 52:16
  Speaker 8: that you can see and this is especially true on
• 52:19
  Speaker 8: the Internet where people are sort of hamming up or
• 52:24
  Speaker 8: exaggerating their feelings to get support. But that's such a minimal,
• 52:30
  Speaker 8: Like that's such a There are people constantly faking all
• 52:33
  Speaker 8: sorts of things on the Internet. And the point is
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: is that you can communicate about how you feel as
• 52:39
  Speaker 8: an adult. You can use your words, and it doesn't
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: mean that you forfeit anything in terms of your masculinity,
• 52:46
  Speaker 8: like it actually will enhance your life. I'm proof of this,
• 52:49
  Speaker 8: and I've been in therapy for twenty years and it's
• 52:52
  Speaker 8: been extremely helpful to me. And I don't post every day,
• 52:55
  Speaker 8: Oh I'm sad, my life's kicking my butt. But like
• 52:59
  Speaker 8: those sort of things and getting help and talking through things,
• 53:04
  Speaker 8: I think that that's how mature people in this day
• 53:08
  Speaker 8: and age. I think it's easier to find happiness that way.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it. Uh, you know, I I've got
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: such strong feelings and I don't want to get too
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: deep into it, but I mean, I have a golf
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Turm interview and we have three foundations that we that
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: we donate to. We also do a charity beer at
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Georgetown Brewing and and Manny and Roger and Dave and
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: Matt and everybody stepped up and helped me with that.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: One of them is uh DIPG Foundation, the Avery Huffman
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: Foundation DIPG. It's a pediatric brain tumor that is there's
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: no cure. Friend Brandon Huffan's daughter passed away from that
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: years ago. The other one is Jordan Morris Foundation for
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: Type one diabetes. He supports young people with that. He
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: helped my kid tremendously, and frankly, Jordan does it all
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: grassroots himself, and so whatever I can do to help
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: him with that. And then the other one is Lensky's Hope.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: And I always tell people and it's funny because I've
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: not funny. Kim and Marck and I have incredible relationship
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: talk to him all the time, great relationship with my family,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: and we always say I wish we wish we never
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: would have met, right, just wish it hadn't happened. So
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: the thing with that is, and especially talking his ex
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: teammates play in my tournament. His roommate is a friend
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: of mine who plays in the tournament, and we you know,
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: their whole goal with Lensky's hope, it's student athlete base.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: They've expanded it now to people in the military, young
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: people in the military, other students, high school, et cetera.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: And so whatever dollar we give him is huge. And
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: the biggest thing was is awareness, is saying hey, if
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: you need help or if you're not feeling right, then
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: ask for help. That's fine. I think what you said,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Danny is true. There are those that use mental health
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: as an unnecessary excuse or crutch, and to me, that's
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: just gross. But there are others that maybe five years
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: ago or in twenty eighteen, for example, if you're a student,
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: you know it affected every campus in this state. You know,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: even Washington doesn't matter when Tyler took his own life.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: For student student athletes, it if you now feel like
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: you have an ability to go talk to somebody, that's
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: a good thing. How is that a bad thing? Dana
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: White like, and I'm with you, I kind of like
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: I find him entertaining, Like I kind of find him
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: entertaining and outspoken, and I don't agree with about ninety
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: percent of things he stands for, but I find him entertaining.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: I thought that was just an irresponsible comment. I don't
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: know who the woman was on with him. Her chuckling
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: about it was equally disgusting.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: I know this.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Some of the money money we take every year from
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: the golf tournament and for the beer, and we give
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: it to Helenski's hope I find out what you know.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: I know where it goes for research for DIPG, what
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Jordan's able to do with young people after every Sounder
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: game home and away, and also supporting folks at Children's hospital.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: And I know what the Lensky's do. They have these
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: programs called Tyler Talks. They don't film them, they don't
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: put them up on the internet. You don't know what's
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: being said. But they gathered groups in if it's a
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: if it's an athletic department. They one year, some of
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: the money that Danny they took from us UH it
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: went they did a tour. They did in one day.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: They did Eastern Washington University, Gonzaga University, and Whitworth University
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: and all. It was early fall or like actually probably
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: like August. All the student athletes from those schools that
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: were there, they gathered into the biggest auditorium and they
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: did that. And I can't speak for Eastern Washington or
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: Gonzaga that day, but I know this. Our football coach
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: at Whitworth told me that he had a handful of
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: kids that asked for help afterwards. So I don't know.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: I kind of disagree with him.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's way off base, and
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: I think it was a really just irresponsible comment on
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: his part, because you're right, we've all love. I don't
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: know if we all believe in evolution, but we have
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: all evolved right from cave man days to the wild
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: West to where we are today. Asking for help is
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: what we should do. Men, women, athletes, older people, it
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We should be able to ask for help.
• 57:17
  Speaker 8: It's very well said, and Lensky's hope as an organization
• 57:22
  Speaker 8: and just the general mission of if you have thoughts
• 57:26
  Speaker 8: of harming yourself, you have to view that as being
• 57:30
  Speaker 8: sick like that. That is, it's not that you you
• 57:33
  Speaker 8: are sick. It's that that that thought process, that idea,
• 57:37
  Speaker 8: and there is getting help for that is what everyone
• 57:43
  Speaker 8: in the world wants for you. And the idea that
• 57:47
  Speaker 8: you can't as a man sort of say I'm having
• 57:51
  Speaker 8: a hard time or this is I feel like my
• 57:54
  Speaker 8: butt's been kicked right now. That that that idea of
• 57:58
  Speaker 8: masculinity is one of the things that makes it so
• 58:01
  Speaker 8: hard for men because they feel that asking for help
• 58:05
  Speaker 8: is somehow undermining that identity and that it's the idea,
• 58:11
  Speaker 8: that identity, that conception that is wrong that is getting
• 58:15
  Speaker 8: in the way and reaching out for help and just
• 58:18
  Speaker 8: being open to understanding what you feel and that it
• 58:23
  Speaker 8: will pass. That it's normal, like life is not always happy.
• 58:28
  Speaker 8: There are ups and downs. It's part of being humans.
• 58:30
  Speaker 8: And the way that you develop that understanding or get
• 58:34
  Speaker 8: through a tough time is by talking to people about it.
• 58:38
  Speaker 8: And and that can be anyone from friends and professionals.
• 58:42
  Speaker 8: There are professionals that are just a phone call away,
• 58:45
  Speaker 8: and there are people that would come running to make
• 58:48
  Speaker 8: sure that you know that, hey, it's going to be okay.
• 58:51
  Speaker 8: There are people that care about you and this happens,
• 58:55
  Speaker 8: you're not outside, I will say this is. It was
• 59:00
  Speaker 8: the first year that I was in therapy, so it's
• 59:02
  Speaker 8: fully twenty years ago now, and I was having a
• 59:05
  Speaker 8: hard time and my therapist kind of said to me
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: and I was basically I would term it whining, but
• 59:12
  Speaker 8: I wasn't really, but I was just talking about, like, man,
• 59:14
  Speaker 8: I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know
• 59:16
  Speaker 8: why I'm not happier. And he looked at me and
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: he said, so, do you think most people are happier
• 59:21
  Speaker 8: than you are? And I was like, yeah, yeah, I
• 59:24
  Speaker 8: think walking down the street, most people have it together,
• 59:26
  Speaker 8: like they've got it going, and I'm the one that's
• 59:29
  Speaker 8: kind of like just just messed up. And he goes, yeah,
• 59:31
  Speaker 8: I think most people live quiet, little lives of desperation.
• 59:35
  Speaker 8: And I'm not sure why that was consoling to me,
• 59:38
  Speaker 8: because it's not like I enjoy the idea that other
• 59:41
  Speaker 8: people are unhappy, but it was kind of like, man,
• 59:43
  Speaker 8: we're all going through this and life has sharp, sharp porters,
• 59:46
  Speaker 8: and sometimes it does kick your butt, and it doesn't
• 59:48
  Speaker 8: mean there's anything wrong with you or you're failing. It's
• 59:51
  Speaker 8: just the part of the hard knocks that life tends
• 59:55
  Speaker 8: to administer. And the way we get through those is
• 59:56
  Speaker 8: by being together and reaching out to other people.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, conversations, I think that's the big thing. I'll tell
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: you something just really crazy. This is not Andrews, go
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: ahead and tell.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: Just yeah, I mean, Ian calls me in during your
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: answer there, uh, Danny, because you know, it was a
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: long one and I'm sorry I missed some of it,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: but it's worth it because he called me in and
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: showed me his phone. Literally the timestamp was just a
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: couple of minutes ago, and Kim Holensky had texted Ian
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: something just reaching out and I don't know if she's listening.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know, isah. Yeah, it just kind of goes
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: to tell you that this is a powerful conversation.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna if you're on YouTube, I'm gonna hold this
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: up that you were on YouTube. That's what she just
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: sent me. It just it's okay, that's that's something. Okay,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: let's move on to something much more man.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: It's Uh, the time is crazy.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 8: One of the reasons I love sports is because it
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 8: is one of the things that brings the community together. Yeah,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 8: even even even Huskies and Koubs and those sort of things.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 8: Being college football fans, being Marror fans. It's one of
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 8: the very few things that brings everybod together. And I
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 8: do believe in the idea of community and feeling connected
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 8: to other people, especially in a time where I do
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 8: think that more and more people even though it's easier
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 8: to sort of quote unquote talk to people on the internet,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 8: that people are lonelier, and to know that like you're not, Like,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 8: there are people out there that are connected in ways
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 8: that maybe you don't even fully appreciate, but are listening
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 8: to the people you're listening to, and we are all
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 8: part of a community. And I do care about all
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 8: the people, and I know that there are tons of
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 8: other people that care too, So yeah, it's it's it's
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 8: good to talk about these sort of things.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: Big thanks to Eric Gordon bringing our good friend Danie
• 1:01:41

• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: today at NWHS dot com gives called for two five
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: two five five zero five hundred. Thanks Eric for allowing
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: us the last two weeks. I have some pretty good conversations
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: with Danny that that didn't have to do with sports.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: But let's get to sports. Danny, believe it or not,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: and Andrews can tell you this.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: This is true.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: I was defending Washington and their football team in the
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: last segment. It's true, he was.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: He was.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: I think it's in dead series. I think it's messed
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: up that the Huskies are playing not just one Friday
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: night game. Then the schedule was released today by a Fox,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: but two Friday games and back to back Friday games
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: as well. They're playing at home October ninth against Iowa
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: on the road the following Friday at Purdue, back to
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: back Friday games. Much like much like Dick Bart, I
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: think every game should be played at twelve thirty on Saturday.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: But if not, it should just be played on Saturday. Danny,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: what do you think?
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 8: I am one agreement. And I saw that SOFTI posted
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 8: and said, he's one of the few people that recognizing
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 8: that he likes him and because he.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: GOLs on Saturday. But he's a country club guy.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: He's gonna golf on Saturday and he gets Saturday off.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: That's why he said that. And he would have a
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: show anyway, on a show anyway Friday.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: What different.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: He is not the guy to comment on this. He
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: just is not.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 8: Okay, that's really funny. I am not a Friday night
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 8: college football guy. If if if I were elected brand
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 8: Kuba of sports in this country, that would probably be
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 8: the second thing that I would do would be to
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 8: band college football on Thursday, Friday, Monday night. College football's
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 8: played on SAT except for the Bulls. That's it. The
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 8: first thing that I would do was introduce European style
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 8: of relegation, so we get this.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: Start the start the campaign. I want to elect you.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 8: Come on, I would absolutely do that. I don't like it.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 8: I also understand that this is part of the Devil's
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 8: deal that that college team fade and college conferences have
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 8: made that you when you start calling your games inventory,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 8: which every time I hear that I want to kick something,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 8: it's like, well the inventory that's available is like, it's
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 8: not inventory, Like this is a it's a college football game.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 8: That but it if you've gone to Friday night games
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 8: that it's the atmosphere is totally different. I think Saturday
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 8: night games it's fun when they're once a season. When
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 8: it's two and three times. I think that's the worst
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 8: environment too. But the fact is, like, the real fact
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 8: is is that they, the powers that be in college football,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 8: have decided that the fans that go to the games
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 8: in person don't matter as much as the TV numbers
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 8: that they will generate, and by spreading their games out,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 8: it doesn't. It doesn't surprise me that Washington is going
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 8: to get the shaft from Big Ten scheduling, and we
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 8: shouldn't have expected anything different when they agreed. Should have
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 8: known that this sort of thing was going to happen.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 8: I don't ever expect it fair shape in Big Ten scheduling.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: Washington, Illinois, and Northwestern, I believe, are the three. They
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: get two Friday games in the Big Ten this year.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 8: So cheering that that that epitomizes my opinion. I am
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 8: one of the few who would have said I would
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 8: have preferred they not go to the Big Ten. And
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 8: I understand how that could be unrealistic and someone could
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 8: look at me and say that that's that was a
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 8: guest wish for the college book. But my counterpoint was,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 8: are you ready to be Illinois? Are you ready to
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 8: be created like that?
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: Into conference?
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 8: You're going to because that's exactly what is going to happen,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 8: and that is exactly what is happening.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: In fairness, the other three schools from the Pac ten
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: each got one Friday not two.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: They got one.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: So you get a half a share and you get
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: two Friday games. And it's already been stated. Everyone's everybody's
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: been writing the stories this week about how when they
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: the money came out this week. It's great, but we're
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: facing you know, we're over the course of the six
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: years half a share. We're not Oregon. Your athletic directors
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: is we don't have Phil Knight, which is true.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: And here's the this is the thing. In a stunning
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: everyone will be stunned. Andrews asked me how many games
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: Michigan and Ohio State have on a Friday night Ian?
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: How many games do Michigan and Ohio State have on
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: a Friday night.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: Checking schedule for the eighteenth time. Zero. Now there are
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: teams that don't have Friday night games because nobody wants
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: to watch them play. I'm talking to you Rutgers, I'm
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: talking to you Maryland, and I'm talking to you Minnesota.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: All right, nobody wants to watch you, so that's why
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: you're not playing on a Friday night Rutgers at the tops.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: Could Rutgers listen? I like the relegation plan. Would that
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: give us a shot? Like if us are Boise State
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: won the NEWPAC twelve, could we jump into the conference
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: and replace Rutgers? I like this right?
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: I am?
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 8: I think that the number one thing that American sports
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 8: gets wrong is that we don't do that. Like the
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 8: NBA talks about how to eliminate tanking. You know how
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 8: you eliminate tanking, Introduce relegation. Introduce relegation, and the college
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 8: football system we're going to have two big super conferences.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 8: Why so Northwestern can can skid along down towards the bottom.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 8: Hell no, if you suck, you should get sent down.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 8: It's what happens to players, players who enter the transfer
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 8: portal because wink, wink, nudge, nudge, you're not going to
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 8: play here anymore. Why shouldn't that happen.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: To programs Northwestern, which, by the way, just build a
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: brand news team that's about the size of Martin Stadium
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: that's in Chicago, I should point out in Chicago. Yeah,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: you're you are a I guess you. It's kind of
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: like how you got to have the one kid on
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: the team. He'll help raise a great point average.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about that, but somebody said that
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: that's a thing. So we gotta have Northwestern there.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 8: I still think you guys should make Gonzaga play football
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 8: in that conference. Fine, you can come in here and
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 8: play basketball. We're going to kick the hell out of
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 8: your innermural team in football.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: Oh oh no, no, we're We're all in on God listen,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: I'm all in on Gonzaga. You know why they bring
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: money with them. That's that's they are a cash cow. Baby,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: they are a cash cow, and they're not playing. They're
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: not going to ever play a Tuesday or Wednesday seventy
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: sixteen playoff play in game, they play for a full share,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: which we as a conference get one hundred. You know what,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: you can have a little bit of football money from
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: the CW we're taking you got. I want to hell,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: I'm all Gonzaga can win the damn damn national championship.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: Now you keep winning and keep giving us cash. I'm
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: all in. We won't beat you, we won't come up
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: and bully you in football. You just keep giving us
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: that money. Mark few just keep giving us that cash money.
• 1:08:37

• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: yeah again, okay, okay, okay.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 8: Here's the idea that this improves is golfing. He has
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 8: no problem because they'll get to go out and go.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: That's he gets a set. He gets too late. Fall

• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: be awesome. That'd be cool if hell if I had

• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: don't think they have.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: But you take on this in the four two five,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: might not get to it by text. Not to be
• 1:11:13

  Speaker 5: Yeah.

  Speaker 2: I like him. I'm excited.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: He's really he's grown on me, like in terms of
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: like becoming better and better. I don't think they've ever
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: won the title now that I'll look back. They've been
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: in the finals a couple of times, have not won it, right, Benton,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: call me if I'm wrong. They'll call the show right now.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: So you can do something that Seattle's done twice. The

  Speaker 1: t birde your biggest friends down North South. They've won
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: the last friends. They've won twice. Barzel, mawe, Barzel, Let's
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: come here. Barzel won it in twenty eighteen and then
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: Seattle beat Winnipeg in twenty twenty three. So yeah, they're
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: trying to win their first WHL championship. It looks like
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: that's a they're a wagon man.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: I think they win. I think they win easy.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: But hey, listen, your hockey fan, and you're up north,
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: go check it out. I guess there are some tickets available.

• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: Do with the arena, No, but it's the fans.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I blame Benton for everything. Yeah, it's good point.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: If it's going well up in Everett, he has no
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: credit none. That's Steve Hamilton, their head coach, got it.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: If things aren't going well, it's Ben Bent's fault. Ye,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: all the captain's fault. I bet if you go up
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: there other night, you'll probably have a Mike Benton siding.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: You'll probably have an al Kiniski siding. Yeah, good point,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: you'll probably even you might even have an effort fits
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: you sighting because I know those three travel on a pack.

  Speaker 2: They do, and they've gone to a few games this season.

  Speaker 1: PHILADELI I think Seattle's but I think, honestly, I know
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: that the Pillow Fight was the Western Conferences season. I
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: think Seattle's better than Philly. I agree that, and I'm
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: not sure if Attawa was all that and bagall the
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: Ottawa should have been better. They should have been better.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: It doesn't help. And Brady Kachuck doesn't want to be

  Speaker 1: at a golf urm.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: Never see that before dispatch. We got a problem.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: We got a problem. Someone's ball moved. Did you see
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: that Cam Young last week. He still won the tournament. Yeah,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: there's no better sport than golfing like his No one
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: saw it and the TV replays never could pick it up.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: He thought it might have moved. Called a rules official over.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: And he says.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: Guy says, well, if you thought it moved, then it moved,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: and that's a one stroke penalty. And he had nothing
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: to do. I mean, he addressed the ball and that
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: was it.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so what if he.

  Speaker 5: Don't.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not super familiar with the rules.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: I think if he would have signed a scorecard, it
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: would have been and he would have and if and
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: they found out later that it moved, it would have
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: been inaccurate. It would been disqualified. He end up winning
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: the tournament, so would have cost you millions. It's a
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: good call on his part. Yeah, just to make sure.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: Would you do that if you're just messing around, no
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: move to bite of grass, that moved my ball? Integrity?

• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: really good coach. Yeah maybe like Popovich, Rob Rob.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: Brendan Moore is a way better dude than Popovich was though,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: like way more personality and he didn't have Rod the
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: bot didn't have a lot of personality, but he got
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: He's a lot better dude, I think in some ways,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: so Rory hit a guy by the way in the gallery.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: Apparently somebody's down. Oh okay, because he's kind of chuckling

  Speaker 9: John Harlowe, who I have not gotten to see in
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 9: person since he took over the role of athletic director
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 9: at Washington State.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 14: John, thank you so much for being here.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's a pleasure good to see you.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 11: Thanks for having me.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and thank you for allowing me to give you
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 9: a hug because you're my boss now. But I'm not
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 9: just a hugger with everybody that comes in. How is
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 9: the last i mean, six eight months spent for you.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 11: Yeah, they've they've been good. If I can say that
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 11: they've been good, I think the team's working really hard.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 11: Proud of what the team's accomplished in the last six
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 11: to eight months. Grateful for this opportunity. Obviously, now that
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 11: it's kind of solidified for me to be leading this department,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 11: I think that gives some stability in the direction of
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 11: where we're going, and now we can can rally around that.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 11: And so it's been a chaotic couple of months, but
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 11: I mean that in the best possible way. We've got
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 11: to keep the pedal down and keep going to activate
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 11: more kougs. So grateful for the opportunity to share this
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 11: with the group and for what we're doing.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 9: Yeah, well let's delve into that. You know exactly what's
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 9: been going on. I mean, I've been watching coach More
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 9: from the sidelines and everything that he's doing. All I
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 9: see is retention, portal and recruitment, and I don't think
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 9: I've seen that kind of activation from a head coach
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 9: who is incoming as a new head coach in it ever. Really, So,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 9: what have you seen from coach More?
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 11: He's been all in since the second that he agreed
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 11: to come on board and it's exciting process to go through.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 11: But once he got here and he started filling out
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 11: his staff immediately, the conversations about returning or retaining those
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 11: players they started immediately. And again we talked about it
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 11: off air, but the opportunity for him to be at
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 11: the bowl game and get in front of those student
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 11: athletes parents and have one on one conversations with them
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 11: there let them know what the cature was going to be.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 11: Like the fit in the program. He understands how important
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 11: the culture is and how important the player development is.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 11: Obviously comes from an incredible football pedigree and has built
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 11: out his staff with veterans, young energy Kouga alums. He
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 11: understands how Eastern Washington operates. He's been so gracious with
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 11: his time. He understands how important that connection is too.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 11: So as a staff and an administration, we couldn't be
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 11: more grateful for his partnership and understanding what it means
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 11: to be a koug and how important it is.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I've learned from some of the best
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 9: one in the room right now, Bill Stevens, what it
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 9: means to be a KUG. You seeing me through my
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 9: fourteen seasons as the sideline reporter at Washington State and
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 9: that means a lot.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 14: Thank you, Bill.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 9: But when you're talking about activating Koug's, I think there
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 9: is some confusion when it comes on how to give,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 9: where to give, where the money goes when you give.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 9: There's a lot of different silos right now. What would
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 9: you like to the Koug's listening right now to know
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 9: about when they give, when they donate, where it goes.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 11: Yeah, no, that's a great question. So first off, we
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 11: have one of the bigger living alumni bases in the
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 11: New pac twelve two hundred and fifty thousand plus. That's
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 11: a lot of opportunity. We've got roughly four thousand annual
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 11: fund members, so there is ample room for growth there
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 11: and so it's our job to make sure we can
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 11: activate that. Cougar Collective has been tremendous partners. We talk
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 11: to them. I talked to that group at least a
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 11: few times a week. Our staff is in communication with
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 11: them multiple times a week. Two they continue to grow
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 11: their brand. They've built a tremendous platform. They do a
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 11: lot of work for the Cougs, and so we're continually
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 11: trying to bounce ideas how we grow both sides ultimately
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 11: over the same goal, how do we continue to bring
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 11: in revenue for the Cougs, to retain our student athletes,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 11: to recruit new ones, and how we continue to build
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 11: a program. So that's a shared vision between both of
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 11: our both of our platforms there and it's been a
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 11: tremendous partnership. Now what we want to try and do
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 11: is provide options for that. So historically our Cougar Athletic Fund,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 11: you give scholarships there. That's been the lifeblood of what
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 11: we do. Our annual fund, which goes directly towards our
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 11: student athlete for scholarships and access. That's also where we've
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 11: taken in donations for our capital projects in the past
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 11: for Taylor Sports Complex, the Champion Center, the Baseball project.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 11: All of our donations that are coming through are coming
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 11: through the Cougar Athletic Fund. We have the same opportunity
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 11: for revshare and ANIL agreements through the Cougar Athletic Fund
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 11: as well. Those are tax deductible gifts that go into
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 11: sport excellence funds and it's up to the coach's discretion
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 11: as to how those are allocated or how those are utilized.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 11: But there's also the platform if someone feels so compelled
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 11: to do so, to go with the Cougar Collective. Again,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 11: those funds, we have conversations about where they're going, how
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 11: they're utilized, how they're activated, and the collective has opportunities
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 11: to do some different things with some of their incredible
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 11: tailgates that they've had, some of the other brands that
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 11: they've activated. So it's really how do we grow it
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 11: together so that again, at the same time, we're both
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 11: working towards the same goal, and we've had really good
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 11: synergy in that, and so we want to continue to
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 11: try and amplify both so that we can get the
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 11: message out. At the end of the day, we just
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 11: need to grow that number of active givers to the
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 11: CEF or to the kuks, and again, whatever methodology that is,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 11: we just need to take that number from four thousand
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 11: and the amount. I don't know the number for the
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 11: collective off hand, but there's a lot of room to
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 11: grow and again continue trying to activate that quarter million
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 11: worth of living alumni. There's tremendous room for growth and
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 11: we've got to get it there.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 9: John Harlow joining j Justaman McIntyre here in studio for
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 9: the Ian Furnes Show. And I do like that you
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 9: say that too, that it's more of a partnership or
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 9: that you know, because I said siloed and that means
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 9: you're not working together. But I think a lot of
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 9: the same people are coming together for the common cause.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 9: So I think some people think that those two would
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 9: cause an issue because there are two different ways to
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 9: give that there might be some competition between the two.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 14: And how have you found.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 9: That base working together or have you found it competitive?
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 11: Not necessarily competitive, No, because again the group that is
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 11: behind that, they are incredibly passionate Koog's they're so active.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 11: We need them and so you know, we go to
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 11: their events, any of them are at our events. We
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 11: try and share as much as many resources and the
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 11: marketing and word of mouth to get to maximize the
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 11: exposure that we have because again, if they grow, that
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 11: means we're growing the resource as far as student athletes. Likewise,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 11: same thing with our Cougar athletic funds. So growth is
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 11: what we need to happen, and there's methodology in the
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 11: pathway for both and working together is the only way
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 11: for us to get there.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and I completely agree. I think that just being
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 9: on the outside, people don't know that or that there
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 9: is the ability to work together. And I know that
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 9: there are some rumors out there, some articles being written
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 9: about the Cougar Collective, whether it could go in house
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 9: or not, because it's independent right now. It's a partnership
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 9: for sure. But do you ever see that happening hard.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 11: To say at this particular moment, and we've seen it
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 11: happen with some of our peers. We've seen it not
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 11: happen with some of our peers. One thing that we're
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 11: committed to doing is making sure that what we do
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 11: fits for our fan base and fits for our student athletes.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 11: So if sometime down the road that makes sense for
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 11: both parties for that to happen, great. If it makes
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 11: more sense for us to stay, you know, in partnership
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 11: working towards its common goal, that's okay too, because again,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 11: we don't want to be in competition. We've got to
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 11: grow this and we need both sides. If we're working
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 11: against each other, then we are doing our student athletes
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 11: a disservice in our community at disservice. So I think
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 11: there's opportunities for both. And again I just stressed appreciation
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 11: for what that group has done and built from the
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 11: ground up, and we can continue to both amplify.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 9: And going back to the beginning of our conversation, I
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 9: was talking about coach more specifically, but it was retention,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 9: recruitment and the transfer portal. How does the NIL help
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 9: you as an athletic director or how does it make
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 9: it more of a challenge?
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean the opportunities there are. That's how we
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 11: recruit and retain our student athletes. It's the new version
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 11: of scholarships. And there was the market here or the
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 11: NCAA has been transient for quite some time. It's just
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 11: a lot more visible now. You know, there's not the
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 11: penalties for transfers as there as there once was. But
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 11: for our student athletes, whether they're here for a year
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 11: or for five years, they are Koog's and we're going
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 11: to wrap them in support and make sure we develop
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 11: them again classroom competition and for life after that. We
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 11: need to continue to make sure that we're telling the
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 11: stories of those student athletes that because there's not the
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 11: familiarity if they're just if they're new transfers or have
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 11: just gotten here, there's not the familiarity if if they've
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 11: been here for two or three years. We need to
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 11: continue to activate those stories to tell those put faces
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 11: to names, and especially behind the helmets, it's not quite
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 11: as easy to identify the.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: Players, But.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 11: There's there's and that's only a fraction of the student
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 11: athletes that are getting repshare and ile deals too. It's
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 11: what gets the most attention and probably the most time
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 11: and discussion, but it's only a fraction of the student athletes,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 11: and they're all important, and so we also have to
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 11: make sure that we're those that are not on those
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 11: types of deals are receiving the same level of support
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 11: and care which they are. We take a lot of
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 11: pride in that, but historically we've punched above our weight
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 11: class as Koog's and that was pre nil. This is
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 11: just a new opportunity, new challenge, and it's it's going
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 11: to be an adjustment. But at the end of the day,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 11: either commit to change or you can commit to your relevance.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 11: And one of those is hard, the other is catastrophic.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 11: And so we've got to continue to change and adapt
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 11: to this to grow this and that's the only plot
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 11: path forward.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 9: I really like that line, by the way, John Harlowe
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 9: knew with athletic director at Washington State. Yeah, one is hard,
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 9: one is catastrophic. Yeah, we always have to grow and change.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 9: I wanted to ask you personally what that transition has
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 9: been like, because it's not like you just came to
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 9: this athletic department.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 14: You've just watched the change.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 9: You have seen it, and for you personally taking over
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 9: this role, I feel like some people might not be
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 9: up for that challenge.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 14: What has it been like for you?
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm grateful for the opportunity to be in this
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 11: spot now. I'm grateful to be a Kook. I rely
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 11: so much on the on the team that we've built.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 11: I think we've got incredible partnerships on our staff and
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 11: the adversity that we've gone through, which is a significant
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 11: amount as Koug's, it's kind of galvanized us together. I
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 11: think it's we hold each other accountable, but care about
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 11: each other too and as a family. And I've taken this,
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 11: you know, I've been in this department now for or
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 11: at the university for over five years. I've seen the
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 11: legacy PAC twelve, I saw the grace period that we got.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 11: Now I see what's an incredibly wonderful opportunity in front
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 11: of us with the new PAC twelve. I've taken some
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 11: of this personally. My family loves Pullman. They don't want
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 11: to be anywhere else. I've been all bought in on
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 11: the koug since day one. There's nothing quite like you
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 11: mentioned the hugs at the beginning, but like a kug hug,
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 11: like when you see those folks that come with some
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 11: of them to travel five six hours for a Cougar
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 11: football Saturday. There's nothing like that. And so my wife
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 11: is all in on this. You make sure that the
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 11: spouses and the partners are and the kids have playdates
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 11: and meet and greets and so that you know, it's
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 11: all about building this culture. It's a special, special thing
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 11: and Cougs are authentic and they care about each other
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 11: and it's a place like I've never experienced before, and
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 11: I wouldn't change it for anything. But that's part of
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 11: why again, I want to see this succeed, and I
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 11: know that there's a pathway for it.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 9: I know that sometimes the families of people in athletics,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 9: whether you be coaches, players or an administration, sometimes get
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 9: forgotten about. And I grew up in a football family
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 9: and my dad is a football coach, and that connection
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 9: that you can have between all of the families regardless
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 9: of who it is, especially in Pullman because it is
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 9: quite isolated. I mean, it's one of one. They only
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 9: made one poem in Washington. Absolutely, it's really nice to.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 14: Hear that too.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 9: And I have gotten to know some coaches who have
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 9: come through throughout my time here, and I still talk
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 9: to them. And I'm just a stupid reporter on the
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 9: sidelines chasing you around trying to get stories and everything
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 9: and tell the story of the game. But I have
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 9: always been treated like family there and that is really
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 9: important to me.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 11: Similar with our student athletes too, where we've heard stories
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 11: and had conversation with some of our student athletes that
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 11: have transferred on or left, and they always talk about
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 11: how special their time in Pullman was, and that's something
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 11: that we can control. Might not always be able to
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 11: We've been pretty successful on closing out deals here recently,
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 11: but maybe the culture piece is something that we can
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 11: control and embracing the families and the kids so that
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 11: when the coaches or staff are there, they don't have
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 11: to worry about is my family homesick? Are they not
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 11: finding community to be supported and we can deliver their
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 11: best at their jobs because we know that their other
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 11: portions of their families and their personal lives are taken
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 11: care of us. I think my wife thinks she's found
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 11: her calling in life, like she's embraced this full on,
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 11: and that just makes that much easier to just go
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 11: attack every day and we're having fun doing it.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 9: Well, I'm really glad to hear that. And I don't
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 9: have to say welcome to Pueman. Well, first of all,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 9: we're in Seattle right now, but you've been there and
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 9: you're growing it and you're up for the challenge that all.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 9: It's not just in Washington State, it's everywhere. It is
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 9: a challenge in college athletics right now because we're in
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 9: uncharted territory.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 14: One last thing before I let you go, what can
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 14: people do? There's kooks that listen here.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 9: People don't realize how many cooks are actually in the
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 9: Seattle market.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 14: How can they help? Where should they help? What should
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 14: they do?
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 11: I think there's exciting times for the fall ahead of us,
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 11: and the gateway to get involved is ticket. Season tickets
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 11: are on sale now for football. We've got to reimagined
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 11: game day experience at gisa field, bigger scoreboard, new lights
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 11: that sync with sound, that will be colorized, new turf,
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 11: so we can have a completely reimagined Cougar football Saturday,
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 11: more theatrical, something you're not gonna want to miss. And
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 11: then our Cougar Athletic Fund. You can give to scholarships
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 11: through the CEF website and that's also where you can
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 11: give for nil and rev share. There's all sorts of
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 11: opportunities for that. Start with tickets. Give if you can,
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 11: and it doesn't have to be a huge amount of money.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 11: It's one hundred dollars to be a CEF member and
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 11: we continue to grow that. We've got to move that forward.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 11: So there's plenty of opportunities. If neither of those can happen,
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 11: give your time, give your energy, give the support. Word
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 11: of mouth goes a long way in the times that
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 11: we're in, so a lot of opportunities to get involved.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 11: Then we need everyone to reach our potential.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and maybe I'll just high five to you while
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 9: I'm out there running around on the sideline deal. I
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 9: am very happy to have you at the home and
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 9: I appreciate you coming into studio and spending your time.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 11: Thanks so much, great to see you go.
• 1:36:05

  Speaker 3: find it funny how everyone calls soccer players soft.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: They try not to miss games. I don't think oh
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: they do not.
• 1:38:30

  Speaker 1: that's that's bad. Oh, Canada.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: Awful news for a US national fan like myself. Yeah,

• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: so the NFL schedule comes out next Thursday, Thursday. Yeah,
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: sounding more and more like we could have a Seahawks
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: Christmas Day game.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: I don't hate that.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: Here's a funny. I really don't because I don't have
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: to cover anymore. If you did, I'm kind of in
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: My kids are older, I'm okay with it.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: Now you have the pure fan perspective with that.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Christmas Games four nine four one.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong. I feel like the Christmas
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: Games last year were bad, Like they weren't good, and
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not watching the other thing on Christmas, which would
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: be the National Basketball Association.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: Think we did. There were two times I believe that
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: we traveled. One time, for sure, we traveled on Christmas Day.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: Back when I was covering them. We had a Christmas
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: Eve game in Dallas years ago. Earl was still here.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: Was the Earl Thomas come get me to Jason Garrett
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: thing that was. That's Craig. If he was there for that,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: that was a nightmare. Yeah, He's like, come get me.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: And it took like I don't even know how long
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: for earl to finally come in do his post game
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: and for the team to leave, we had to wait
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: for him, and like that was the height.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 2: Of earl being an earl.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a turnative thing, how to do extra Like, yeah,
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: that was I didn't like that traveling because we traveled.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: The next morning was Christmas. We flew and I had
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: both my photographers with me. I had young kids, and
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: that sucked.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: I felt bad for them.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, I did find out something that weekend. At least
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: in Dallas, you can snake through and your carry on
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: little mini bottles. Oh, so I brought.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: I took care of the boys.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: We had Dunkin Donuts and some Irish coffees that morning
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: before the board of that plane, I was nice, Yeah, yeah,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: what else we got here? Uh, let's see you get
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: more eyes if you're a standalone game, it's your exposure
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: for the university. I don't Here's the thing, I understand
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: that comment. If you're trying to get more eyes on
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: you by a high school player who you're trying to recruit,
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: if that's what you're looking for, which is probably all
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: that matters, because you don't care about the rest of
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: the country liking your program, right, Well, those guys are
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: wait for it, playing thank you? Uh, pretty sure. The
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: NFL played Friday last year, opening weekend and only playing
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: Thursday game more days. Yeah, they did play the the
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: the one game last year they played on the Friday
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: thanks to Was it last year two years ago? I
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: want to say it was two years ago? Actually, which
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: one a Friday game? No, it was last year they
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: put it. They played international Friday game last year, right, yes,
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: I do believe. Yeah, it was it in Mexico City,
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: but that But the reasoning this year is that they
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: wanted to play Thursday the national game because they did
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: say that they don't want to play on the Friday.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: So instead they'll make the defending Super Bowl champion play
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: on a Wednesday.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: Like they might as well be Toledo and Western Michigan
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: playing in the MAC. That's what you're doing right now.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: They might get a little bit better numbers.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, maybe slightly.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: NBAS like soccer is soft, Soccer is like NBA is soft.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: Can play about your jobs after Thursday nine games and
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: who gets.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: To stop it? Dude?
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: If you just don't like us, I'm gonna just say something.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: I haven't said this in the Zilliadears. If you don't
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: like us, don't listen. Let's go somewhere else SOFTI comes
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: on it. Three, I don't need you. We don't need you. Okay,
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: we don't need you with the three five, four of
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: your last digits. Go away, just go away. I don't
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: I don't need you. I don't need I really don't
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: need you today, so you can go. Other people we.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 2: Love though, Yeah, we love everyone else.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: M every silver STIPs tip off game one for the
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: HL Championship. We've talked about that all day today.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: See now I'm gonna get mad on a Friday before
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: I leave, and I don't want to do that, so
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: Reading these things. Let's see what.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: Good I'm glad to Friday games. When you're media Oacre
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: went and won't win ten games, you get a crap schedule.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that. I think they do like
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: the Seattle market, to be honest with you, it's a
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: big TV market.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: See how here Purdue doesn't give you much and Iowa
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: doesn't give you much in terms of like TV market,
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: like Illinois and Northwestern. We brought this up with Danny
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: and Danny talked about it earlier. You're in the same
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: category as Illinois Northwestern. The other teams are the team
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: two games. I don't know how Chicago reacts to college football,
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: but those are both Chicago teams. Basically, Northwestern's in Chicago.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: Champagnes close enough to Chicago, right, So I get I
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: get what they're doing in the sense they want the
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: LA markets. They are for sure going to get one.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: Fresno State USC isn't the most compelling matchup in the world,
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: but it's the LA TV market. Seattle's number twelve in
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: the in the nation. That's a big TV market. Oregon
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: gets a game because why they're what they're Probably they're
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: not probably because I've seen the numbers. They're in the
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: top five in terms of TV draws in the country.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: That's what Fox paid a zillion dollars for television rights
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: and for the Big ten to be the Big whatever
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: it is, Big eight team. Yeah, so I get why
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: certain teams are on. I just think playing one team
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: having to play back to back is ridiculous. Others don't,
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: I know. Dick and Softy disagree. I think they're very
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: much in the minority with husky fans, like very very
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: much in the minority with husky fans. Let's see, Taco
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: time fried britos looks like Cathot's what.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: No, you're not what are you talking about?
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 5: What?
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's a Listen now, I'm gonna defend
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: Taco Time for a second. I think I think I
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: think we have a couple of national treasures or like
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: just true treasures in Seattle. Taco Time is that the
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: if it's not at the top of the list, it's
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: close to it. And the burritos, the Krispy Beef and
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: Krispy Bean burritos, And I honestly don't have a favorite.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: It's like my kids. I can't really pick one.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 3: They are probably easily easier picked between your kids and
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 3: between taco Time.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: So some days it's a being Chrispy Bean, somedays Krispy Bee.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not a huge hard taco guy, but if I am,
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going to Taco Time. Yeah, done perfectly, you can
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: eat them fine. I love them sty quick yeah. I mean,
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: I'm usually a natural soft taco beef, but Chrispy the
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: other one is Dix. I mean, I just I will
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: not take slander on the show about Dick's.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: Not at all.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 3: Ever, no one can say bad things about it. Yeah,
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 3: one guy that did isn't here anymore. He's gone, So
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 3: you don't don't slander Dicks. There was a thing I
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 3: saw on Instagram and it's actually a legitimate account that
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 3: does stuff in Seattle, right.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: Oh god, did they say it was overrated?
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 9: No?
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: No, they they were raiting the top seafood restaurants with
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: a view or whatever, and they hammered ivers and actually,
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: you know what, they also kind of hammered dukes, and
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: I what just because a place as an institution and
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: some maybe even called a tourist trap, I don't care,
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's not good. I would challenge. Have you
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: like I I went. I want to say, like two
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: years ago, we went to ivers Acres of Clams. Yeah,
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: not for the out to take out.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: We actually went in. Okay, damn good, really good, really good.
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like solid seafood restaurant and oh what happens to
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: be in a place it's a tourist Okay? Fine, I
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: saw somebody the same thing. Didn't like Anthony's really what like, who's.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: To hammer chinooks? At Salmon Bay? They did like Chinooks. Okay,
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: that's antics. I think it's part of the change. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: it's part of the chain.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was my go. It was better when it
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: was the old wharf. Ye back when I was working
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: there in the eighties and nineties, I could, I kid,
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: it wasn't the wharf. Everything we had was deep fried,

  Speaker 2: Yeah it was.
• 1:47:20

• 1:47:27

• 1:52:19
  Speaker 15: you guys. Ever, we got married in two thousand and nine,
• 1:52:22

• 1:52:28
  Speaker 2: Two thousand and nine.
• 1:52:29

  Speaker 15: We've been together for two years. Yeah, seventeen years ago.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 15: Seventeen years ago. That was you were there. Oh yeah,
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 15: a Husky see him someday. And it came out of
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 15: the helmet car. Oh, Dick Bart did the wedding. I sat,
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 15: I sat right in front of Elbridge. Yeah you did
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 15: it did And he's chirping me about the Husky Stadium
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 15: and I said, this is right where Alex bring through
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 15: the touchdown past six months ago abroad against.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 2: We talked to me since we got married.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 15: And then they blew the stadium up after they said,
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 15: you know what, instead of just cleaning this place up,
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 15: let's just blow the whole thing. Rank this real quick.
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 15: Don't ask me first or second marriage please?
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no, God, I wouldn't do that.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 15: Well, I got people that I work with or have
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 15: work with before, So I'll be totally transparent here because
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 15: I've told the story on the area people know. My
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 15: first engagement was at Fenway Park in Boston. My first
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 15: wedding was at Safego Field at end Plate. My second
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 15: engagement was at Heck Edmondson Pavilion. The last place Gina's
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 15: wedding ring was before it was on her finger was
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 15: in John Brockman's underwear. And then they got married at
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 15: the fifty yard line on Husky Stadium. So then somebody
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 15: who used to work is like, where's your next one?
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 2: With that's climate place?
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 13: Right?
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: All right? Then it was so rank the best wedding
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: parties because they're all in the same time frame, like
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 1: seventeen years.
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 15: Going to leave me, I'll give you three. Is Ashley
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 15: Ryan's on there? Ashley okay? On the water there? Yeah,
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 15: Sebrowski's right. I was not at Sebrowski's wedding, was not.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: There, and yours okay, so you can't, okay, cause Sebrowski's
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: was the bad one for me. That's the one where
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: we at divorced.
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 2: Well, was that Wherekeifer was conceived? No, no, no, he
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 2: was already.
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: That's where U.
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 2: That's oh yeah, it was bad. It was a bad night.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: That was well. What happened was is we somebody bought
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: the red bear in Sebrowski a like a big thing,
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: a crown royal right like bottle, and it's already an
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: open bar. And I was at a table with Rondo,
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: and Rondo had his Rondo brings his own drinks, so
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: he had all this champagne under the and Divish was there?
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: Actually was there that fine? Somehow we went from having
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: some champagne with the Rondo's nice and fine night to
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden divish Sebrowski me the former ten
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: to one guy here and everything else.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 2: His name's Pucket whatever.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: Crushing, crushing the Crown war, crushing the Crown war for you.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: And then I woke up in the car the way
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: home to my wife just yelling at oh wow, so
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: you passed out in the car and the way actually
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: Ryan wedding, which came like what six months later?
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't remember.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 15: I might have been as I'm not sure if I
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 15: was there or not. Josh and I butted heads a lot,
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 15: to be honest.
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: And so Ashley's Ashley's wedding comes up, and the entire
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: way we're driving there, I'm getting lectured.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 2: You better not do this again. That was what it was.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: So I got there, guys are like, hey, I'm good,
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: I'll have a beer real quick. That's like I was like,
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: and as she's like, what is wrong with you? I
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: go well, yeah, because there's still pictures floating around to
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: the first one.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 15: I blame Divish more than anybody. Well, when your wife
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 15: has your balls in her pocket, you better behave. Yours
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 15: was great. You may not get yours was good. Yours
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 15: was good. I'd be I behave for yours. But the
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 15: best thing about yours is you let us kids come right.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 15: So Keith and Brie were there, that's right, and you
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 15: had like the mini cupcakes, had a cupcake bar instead
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 15: of a cake. Unbelievable, very best thing ever I loved.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 15: I think one of them threw up when they got home,
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 15: but that was okay fine. Jackson's wedding was fun, especially
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 15: when his dad introduced me as Dave Softy Mahler from
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 15: seven to ten ESPN.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 2: That was nice. And then what did I do? Jackson?
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 2: Did I throw something at your dad? What did I do? Now?
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 2: What happened? In Jackson? Can't hear?
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 7: You?
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 2: Remind me what happened? Yeah? Did I throw something? I
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 2: couldn't hear anything beause Andrews had his mind. Did I
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 2: throw something at your father at your wedding? Yeah, Napkin.
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 2: It was great, but maybe my favorite moment of the
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 2: entire way it was a used napkin. Ye, well he
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 2: got the wrong station. Yeah he deserved.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: What's funny is he had it written down correctly as
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: kJ R. He just said it wrong. So that tells
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 1: us what his favorite exactly? Are you sure he wasn't
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: hoping Dave Wyman was there?
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 2: He probably was. Oh God, did you play a linebacker
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 2: for the seat? Look at me?
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 15: Don't I look like I was Stanford? Interesting? You played
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 15: for the Bears. Well, I I wasn't there. It's funny
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 15: that we're talking about wedding stories because I have busted
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 15: Millan's balls about this forever. I was not at his
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 15: wedding because I did not know him back then. Personally,
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 15: I knew who he was, obviously, husky legend. Yeah, who
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 15: beat the Oklahoma Sooners in the Orange Bowl. He served
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 15: carrot cake at his wedding. Oh what are you doing?
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 15: Exactly my point?
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 2: What what dude?
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 15: I'm buying you a gift. I'm putting in the effort.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 15: Some folks are flying in from out of town. I'm
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 15: renting this monkey suit. Can I at least get like
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 15: a nice dessert and I get carrot cake? And I
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 15: don't mind carrot cake it's okay. I hate I just
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 15: don't want it at a freaking wedding. And I finally
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 15: a couple of years ago. Next time you talk to
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 15: Hugh you can ask him I finally a couple of
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 15: years ago, got him to relent and admit.
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 2: That was a bad idea.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 15: So bring that up on hardcore football. Absolutely, it's a
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 15: good topic for the middle of June. By the way,
• 1:57:37

• 1:57:39
  Speaker 2: Some things you just don't bring up. Bring it up,
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 2: it's fine, trust me.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 15: It's a the story about the stereo when he came
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 15: to the house, all right, fact, that's obviously one. But
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 15: the carrot cake thing, the fact that he finally has
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 15: seen the wrong in serving carrot cake at a wedding.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 2: He admitted it, and I'm proud of him. Stereo. Can
