  Speaker 3: out loud, it sounds not great.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Doesn't sound great. Hudolph does not sound great.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Sounds kind of like a former German leader.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, we shall stay away from those, that's for sure.
• 0:37

• 0:54
  Speaker 1: with Danny Sprinkle. Uh and we're going to use them
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to preview a little bit of the final or as well,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: because the Huskies this season had to face two of
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the final four teams. Joining us on the program. You
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: know him, you Love him. Quincy Pondexter is with us
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: right here on Chuck and Buck. Good morning, sir, Good morning,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I guys doing we're doing great, How are you doing?
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: How are things I'm doing?
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: I'm doing horrific. Life is good and just watching a
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: lot of these games and wishing we were there.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. I mean, let's start with that, like
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: what will it take, what's missing in the program? What
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: steps need to be taken in your estimation. It kind
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: of feels they think, the Husky fans, like, we're a
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: long way away from this. But you know, you make
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the right move or two in the offseason and you
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: can close that gap pretty quickly in the sport of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: college basketball. So what would Quincy Pondexter tell our listening audience,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: is gonna be the secret for the Huskies to get
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: from point A to the final four.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: If anyone thinks that we're further away or a long
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: way away, they're they're sadly mistaken, you know, going into
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: this year and last year and the talent that we had,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: just watching the game and knowing our team, if you
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: really did your research, we got hurt. We had we
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: had a terrible injury bug. We had a lot of
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: misfortune with not even having what would presumptively be our
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: starting lineup, didn't even play a game together. Maybe played
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: one game together the whole season, so you know, with
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: the ball bouncing our way a few more times and
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: you know, not you know, having bad luck and injuries
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: it cost us. But you know, to win the amount
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: of games that we did this year and to be
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: so close to being in that top seven, eight nine
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: in our conference, which we were really close to doing
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: and uh, we would have been in an NCAA tournament.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: So you could get two ways. You know, as a fan,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: you could you could really you know, up your support
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: or you could be about it. But at the end
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: of the day, we're working our tails off and we're
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: going to have a lot of success whether you love
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: it or like it or not.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Quincy Pondexter is with us right here on Chuck and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Buck in the mornings, And what is it like to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: be competing for this goal that four teams only four
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: teams in the country. Uh, they're going to get the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: crack at this Saturday and to be on the sideline.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So what kind of how difficult is it when you're
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: competing in this arena and you're not one of those four.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: It's extremely difficult. Like, you know, you've got to tip
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: your cap off to those teams that have made it,
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: you know, whether they did a great job of recruiting,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: having good health, or just raising the amount of money
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: that it takes to win at that championship level. You know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: you got to tip your hat off to them, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: you strive to be that, you know. I think that's
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: something that we all have done as a staff is
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: just really buckle down, hunker down, and trying to figure
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: out a way how we get to the final four,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: how do we get back to anca tournament, how we
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: make Husky Nation proud again.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Former Husky and current Husky coach Quincy pondexter our guest
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: here this morning on Chuck and Buck in the Morning's
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: talking a little college basketball, and I'll let you be
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: sort of our studio analyst here on these matchups this weekend.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You had to face two of these teams during the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: regular season that are in the Final four. Let's start
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: with Illinois. What made them so good this year?
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Illinois is really really good team. I think what makes
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: them good is they play with the unselfishness. I think
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: does all of their guys know what they are as
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: a player, and they're exceptionally coached. They did a great
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: job of beeting guys that played professionally overseas and which
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: are a lot of them are foreign, and they did
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: a great job of finding a diamond the Rough and
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Keton Wogler, and the way that they moved the ball,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: the way that they're able to shoot one through five,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: and sometimes their positionless in how they play, and just
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: their side the defensive to nasty. They're really formidable to
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: win a national championship, and there's no surprise that they're
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: there are Our conference is a tough like a team
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: like Purdue, who was picked to finish there were a
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: number one preseason team in the country. They finished seventh
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: in our conference, which wasn't too far from US. But
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Illinois was one of those teams that we watched all
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: year that we always said, like, man, I don't know
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: why people aren't talking about them more. They could really
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: win a national championship with full health.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: It's interesting what you said in your analysis there, because
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: it's kind of the point that I was making earlier.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're never that far away from it clicking,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you said, because Illinois did find a diamond in the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Rough and Keaton Woggler, and then they also have tapped
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: into this pipeline in Eastern Europe. I mean those two
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: moves by Brad Underwood are the difference between them being
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: a good team and a great And here they are
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: in the Final four right now. I mean you're only
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: those couple moves away, you know, finding some little reservoir
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to tap into to create a pipeline from your program
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to that area and then trying to find some diamond
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: in the rough to compliment you're already you know, the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: recruiting class that you've been working on. It really is
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: just a hop, skip and a jump quincy from going
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: from mediocrity to being in the final four.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah, you know again, it seemed like Nebraska,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: who people thought was dead in the water, didn't have
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: them too high on their preseason analysis, and you know,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: they had an unbelievable year and went twenty games while
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: losing and you know, to Frere Hoiberg and staff did
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: an amazing job. But again people probably had them dead too.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: So you know, it's a cool feeling to be doubted,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: and it makes us not be able to sleep at
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: night and makes us work even extra hard to prove
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: a lot and they sayers wrong.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Illinois better than you do you kon
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: having faced them during the regular season, but do you
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: have a good feel for whether or not Illinois will
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: get past them in the final four?
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: I think I think Illinois has a great chance, But again,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: you cannot you can't bet against Early in his in
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: his team, they compete, they don't quit, they don't give up.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: They've been through some adversity throughout the year, and you
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: know they're there. They're a team that's well oiled machine
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: right now and playing really great basketball, and so everybody
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: was inspired to see how they won the other day.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: And it's just really really cool sign to see in
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: college basketball that just anything can happen on any moment.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: You know, we'll see who had the better scouts this
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: week and who's going to take try to take what
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: await from each other. I think that's a big thing
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: going into week by week, is you know, assistant coaches,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: head coaches, is the game plan going to work? Do
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: you guys watch enough film? Do you guys have all
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: their atos mapped out? Do you have all their side
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: out out of bounce? Do you have you know what
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: defensive changes do they make? Do they toss in a
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: one to three one? Do they toss in the press,
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: do they toss in a two three zone? Do they trap? Sometimes?
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Like all those little things, you have to be so
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: on point. And then in that moment of time, you know,
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: do the players execute to a high level. And so
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: it's a it's a lot that goes into it. It's
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: not just we roll the balls down and say go
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: play basketball, which some people probably think we do. But
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of detail that goes into it. And
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: that's where the beauty of the game is no doubt.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Quincy pondexter our guest, how strange is it still to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: this day, even though we have had a couple of
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: years now to get used to it. But here you
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: have the other game. It's Arizona versus Michigan, and it's Michigan,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: who's Washington's conference rival, not Arizona like you played.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I've never met out about that, which is funny. Yeah,
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: that is that is kind of ironic. But you know,
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I think both teams, you know, most people are going
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: to say that's the championship game because both teams are
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: top to bottom flawless. You know, they have size, depth, shooting,
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: you know, young talent, like old veterans. They just have
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: it all, and so you know from the years of
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: playing Arizona and know what they're all about to now
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: playing against Michigan and you know, hopefully forming a Robert
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: were with them one of these days. But they're at
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: the top, They're at the pinnacle of this thing, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: so both teams are are well oiled, they're well suited
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: to be national champions. And I really look forward to
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: watching that game.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Take me inside it a little bit. I mean, you
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: look at the what Michigan has done to get back
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: on top, and Arizona's been on top for so long,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and even Gonzaga, you're in our state, just to have
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: created the powerhouse that they have. How much time does
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: a coaching staff for a major program like Washington spend
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: studying other programs, how they do it, how they assemble?
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you're just kind of trying to take
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: from everybody on how do we get there? Or is there?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And you don't have to reveal the team. Is there
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a team that you know, coach sprinkle yourself others like,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: we want to be like that program. We like the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: way that they do things. Uh, they've provided us a
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: map to where we need to go. Does any of
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: that happen behind the scenes. Quincy.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Of course, you want to be like the best. You
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: want to have your team be like Matt Painters and
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Purdue and is of an in state, and you know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: you want to be like the Arizonas who's you know,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: just the brand itself and you see it and you
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: just think about all the great legacy of basketball. What's
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: cool about this game is now, as college coaches is
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: you don't have to like watch from afar with them,
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: like you're in steadily study competition with them, and you're
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: learning and you're seeing what they're doing, and you see
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: what the resources that they have, which is ninety percent
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: of the game right now, it's resources and support from
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: the community. And so you really are in steady competition,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: whether it's over recruits or you're seeing each other you know,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: in the portal, or you know what resources and facilities
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: or whatever it may be. So you know there's there's
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: always that out there. The funny thing about it is
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: like this this game isn't a level playing field at all.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: So you know, as much as you want to say,
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: all right, let's man, maybe we got to be spend
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: all of our time folks on having great X and
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: os our X and OSE could be ten times better.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: But if you don't have the other things, you know,
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: how are you going to win? And so, you know,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: it's pretty cool to see and pretty cool to be
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: involved in it and learning and growing by the second.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: And I really really admire a lot of these coaches
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: out there and what they're able to do. But you know,
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: hopefully one day we could Some teams are looking at us,
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: and teams are admiring us and what we put in.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: And I think Coach Sprinkle is the guy. I think
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: he's you know, spending a lot of blessed, wet and
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: tears to try to figure this thing out for us.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: And again we're closer than further if you know, we
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: have that right mindset as a as a fan base,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: you know, instead of you know, you can hold off
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: on that negative tweet because that negative tweet doesn't just
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: go directed at whatever it goes at. Maybe a recruit
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: sees it. Then a recruit might be inclined to be like, ah, man,
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I go to that school because
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: this guy behind a computer or phone is saying whatever.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: So there's a you know, there's a hunger to be better.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: I think there's a hunger for us to have a
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: lot of success, and I believe we're going to get there.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yea. I love the process, and I think
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you gotta love finding your process as well. You gotta
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: be thoroughly invested in that. Quincy Pondexter is our guest.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: So who do you like Arizona versus Michigan. I mean
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that is just a battle of as you mentioned, like
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: two just complete teams. Who comes out of that? Do
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: you think?
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Wow? I gotta go with our current current conference folk
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: in Michigan. I think they're they're really good. I think
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: they're this their stud size hopefully you know, Cadeo getting
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: sick doesn't hamper him too much. But and then their
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: loss of l J. Cason, who is a really good
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: player for them this year. But I think they're stills
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: is very formidable. I think they're just a great team.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: So a big ten team will cut down the nets.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: You think it's been a long time coming, right, Yeah?
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: I think so? Yeah? So we got we got, we
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: got two chances. It would be really cool to see
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: the Illinois Michigan final. Uh, you know, I would really
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: love that. And and there's two teams I think we
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: had a chance to beat and so when I say
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: we're close, closer than further, you know, that's what I mean.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: So it's really cool to see them have the success
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: that they've had, and we can't wait to lace them
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: up against them again next season.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: What was your favorite memory of an Arizona game when
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: you were a player. Does anything stand out to you
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: about having to face them and that crowd or anything
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: like that when you played.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: I think my most one of my most pond memories.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: There's there's two of them. My freshman year, we played
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: against them and they were top I think they were
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: coming out of a Final four maybe, or they were
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: a top team in our conference and in the country.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: And as the freshman, I scored twenty one in the
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: first half and had twenty five for the game, and
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: we lost the close battle, and h I made a
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: really cool move. I was probably like out of body experience,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: which is always stick with me, and uh, I just
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: know I wanted that game so bad. And another one
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: was my senior year, playing against Derek Williams and those guys,
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: and it's a game that really just you know, solidified
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: our team that season and showed that like, you know,
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: we're one of the best in the country, and uh,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: we're able to use that to to make it to
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: the NCAA Tournament and end up in the sweet sixteen.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Do you ever show your players video of you or
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the inside post moves of John Brockman.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Do you ever take the time to show that I
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: show I showed a lot more John Brockman than uh.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm just I'm just coaching now like that.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: I don't think they I don't think they think I
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: was ever good or anything. I'm just the old guy
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: that's washed now.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And then help yeah.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Spread our fans don't care anymore either, So it's like
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: it was so long ago. But you know sometimes I
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: have to say, like, oh man, we you know, we
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: were a good team here and you know, and that's
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: that's why I'm here. I want to I want to
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: be able to relive those moments as a coach with
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: our program and take it back to those those moments
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: because I think our city needs it. I think our
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: fan base needs it, and I think, you know, we
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: are we could be the premiere college basketball team in
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: the country because of where we said geographically, and you know,
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: just how great of a fan base. It is when
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: it's when it believes and when it looks.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Last thing for you, I did call up your Wikipedia page.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Did you know that they have that masked photo of
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: you when you were a Memphis Grizzly.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Please please find someone that could change that.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I think it looks really cool. I mean, you look
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: like a superhero with your black mask on. Do you
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: still have the mask lying around? You should wear it
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: for Halloween.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: I think I think I've burned it. You know, I
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: broke my face and I had surgery literally that day,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: and then I played. I was playing I think that
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: that night or the next day or something. So they
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: had to like find a mask, and I didn't want
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: to wear anything. So they like that was the only
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: mask that they could mold really fast. And thank god
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: technology has evolved since then, so the mask looked a
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: lot better now.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you look like a Phantom of the Hardwood, is
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: what you look like with that black mask on. So
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: all right, man, well, hey, thank you very much for
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: joining us this morning. We do appreciate it. Best of
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: luck this offseason, and best of luck getting the Huskies
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: back to where you know they belong.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: God bless I hope you guys have a good one.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: Can't wait to see you guys next season.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: All right, Quincy Pondexter joining us right here on Chuck
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: and Buck in the Morning. I can't believe he's embarrassed
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: of that photo. That's a great photo that he looks cool.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe we need to Yeah, maybe somebody does need to
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: tinker with it though. I mean, let maybe put a
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: washingtonsy picture of Quincy Pondexter Pondexter on his Wikipedia.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I think he's earned that.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think it's a cool photo.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: I just like that. He's like, yeah, can somebody please
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: change that?
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how to do it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Do you know how to do it?
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know how to do it. Actually, I think
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: though that anybody can ask us.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Anybody can access and just flip it around. I guarantee
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: you if I gave an assignment to Nick Allen or
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: to Keith Miller, guarantee you they'll come up with something.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I'll come up with an AI generated photo of Quincy
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Pondexter as a superhero with the mask on.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up next here on the radio program,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: we are going to go check out the stocking stuffers
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the latest rumors for the NFL Draft that will pass
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: along to you right here on Chuck and Buck in
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I kind of want to just like Frosty the analyst. Man,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: it's so hard to rhyme at all. There's nothing milanie,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and there's nothing hueye. I mean I've already tried Huedolph
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and we've.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Got some ideas, don't you worry?
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: We do.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great, yep, Okay, listeners are coming through.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but maybe just like just something just like, uh,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to use something you know, Jack QB one
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: QB for one Frost QB one Frost you know where
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: it doesn't even try to be clever, you're just.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's an that's a possibility. I can't say
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I love that either.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: No, No, I just think it's just going to just
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: be right out of the blue, just hit you right
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: between the eyes, tell you exactly who he is, but
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: just attach him to an old time classic.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: That's fair. I mean, I like, I like that.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: It's a possibility, But no, you think the listeners are
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: unning better? Is that right?
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Yep?
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I can't wait yep. Oh, I really can't wait for that.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get started. It is time for
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: stocking stuffers. Here on day number three of Draftmas. So
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: we finished our first week. We didn't start till Wednesday,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the Draftmas season April first. We'll have a full week next.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Week, which will include Hugh millin Is.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: That's why we're trying to come up with his Draft
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: miss name, because he's never been a part of our
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Draft MIAs coverage. I mean, the smartest football guy I
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: know and has never been a part of our Draftmas coverage.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Why because Hughes always held his cards close to the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: chest when it comes to not revealing what he thinks
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: about draft picks until the Maler Milon mock Draft, the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: famous annual Malar Millon mock Draft. And then and then
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, then he's just like, Okay, put me on
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: any time. I'll tell you anything I know about anybody.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: We'll draft it up.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: That's right. But this year, I think I've found a loophole.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I think I found a wrinkle to include him for
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: the first time ever and our Draftmas lead up where
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: that does not compromise his principles as an analyst.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Very exciting.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll do that on Monday at eight o'clock.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: But Ashley brought up a good point. Everybody has a
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: nickname you're in draft, miss, including Jolly Old Saint, Picholas,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: rob Rang So Hugh needs one too. And it feels
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: like I'm way off.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Right now, but I love I can't wait to see
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: your reaction when I give you these suggestions.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, I look forward to it. All right,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: let's get to some of the rumors. That's what the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: stocking stuffers segment is, just all NFL draft rumors that
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: are out there. Let's start with Ty Simpson, because suddenly
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: this guy has become about as big a name in
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: the draft process as anyone, maybe the biggest, maybe the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: most talked about. It's the Orlovsky effect. Dan Orlovsky has
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: sort of created this storyline, and so now Ty Simpson, suddenly,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: through no fault of his own, has turned into somewhat
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: of a controversial subject. And so we have Dan Orlovsky
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: maybe making a fool of himself. I'm not saying that
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: there's there's not an argument out there that's yes, Ty
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Simpson is actually better than Fernando Mendoz I'm here. I'm
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: all ears. If a guy that's been in an NFL
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: huddle and has played in NFL games and has backed
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: up guys like Matt Stafford and has an idea of
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: what an NFL quarterback looks like, I'm all here to hear.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I'm all ears to hear some breakdown that tries to
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: convince me of that, and maybe you could change my mind.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millen bit into that. I have a feeling he'd
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: make us think about that. It's just that he kind
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: of came off foolish because some of the examples that
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: he was using couldn't have been further off, and so
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: it made it feel like he was just making stuff up.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: And it went as far as his own people at
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: ESPN accusing him of being on the take, either from
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: producers at ESPN who wanted him to have a bad
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: take just so it would get attention, or was the
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: agent giving him money to build up Ty Simpson. I
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: mean it came to that anyway. That kind of has
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: made Ty Simpsons or this polarizing figure through no fault
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: of ties throughout this entire process. And I don't know
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: if one goes with the other, but since the Orlovsky
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: effect took hold. Simpson just keeps dropping. It's had the
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: opposite effect. Nobody's moving him up the charts. They're dropping
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: him down, and this week I've seen things dropping him
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: out of the first round, even Ryan Wilson. You know
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Ryan Wilson, Will Brinson's friend. We've had Ryan Wilson on
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: a couple of times at CBS Sports. I think he's
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: their head guy now at CBS Sports in terms of
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: their draft coverage. He has that scenario that I've been
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: talking about for a couple of weeks. In his latest
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: mock draft, he's got Ty Simpson dropping all the way
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: to the end of the first round, giving the Seahawks
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to move out to a quarterback needy team
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: that would like to have the second best quarterback in
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: the draft on a first round players contract, which means
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: you have control of their fifth year should you want
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: to use that. Before you would have they would become
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: a free agent beyond the first round. Everybody becomes a
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: free agent by year five, so that could put Seattle
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: in a really advantageous position if you get all the
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: way through the first round. They don't even really want
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: to pick at thirty two and Ty Simpson has fallen
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: that far, and I'm not hearing anybody put nuss Meyer
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: or club Nick or Aler or any of the other
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: candidates ahead of Simpson right now. So if the second
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: best quarterback falls all the way to the end of
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the first round, that puts Seattle in a pretty good
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: position to make a trade and probably get more for
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: that pick than they would have otherwise.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a dream scenario right there.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that would be exactly what all the
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: things we could hope for to work out that way.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: That would be it right there, because it is such
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: a coveted position, right and if you've got somebody that
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: could potentially has been in talks to be as good
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: as Fernando Mendoza, I mean, and you get them at
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: thirty second, that's a win for the team that gets
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: them at thirty second and a massive win for the Seahawks.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I to believe Fernando Mendoz is the number one pick.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: And I'm not Dan, I'm not Hugh Millan, and I'm
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: not Dan Orlovsky in terms of quarterback evaluation, but you know,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I think Mendoza feels like the number one overall pick.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: And Ty Simpson to me feels like a late first rounder.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: That's that's how he reads to me. But we shall
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: see how that goes. By the way, Elijah Sarratt I
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: saw interviewed yesterday on Path to the Draft on NFL Network,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and he brought up the Mendoza You know, they brought
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: up the Mendoza character thing. Not that there's bad character there.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: It's almost too good. It's almost too squeaky and nice
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and bubbly, a little nerdy, right, and he called him,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: he goes he's a geek. He called him like right
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: there on television. But he's my geek. Yeah, so like
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: he loves I mean, I don't know a Mendoza is
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: gonna command an NFL locker room filled with grown men
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: sort of the way that he acted as a college
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: football player, not that he acted poorly, just came across
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: a little nerdy, little.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Goofy, a little high strung's a little hyper.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know how that goes over in an
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: NFL locker room, but I'll say this, it went over
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: really well in Indiana's locker room. Yeah, And Elijah Surat
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: hammered that point home. All right, let's go to another
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: one over here. What do we got here? This little
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: rumor the Browns? This is not even according to a rumor.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: This isn't just somebody spreading garbage out of Cleveland. This
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: is from the general manager himself saying, we'd like to
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: trade down. We are exploring trading down. And already Cleveland
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: has two first round picks and they're sitting at six
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: and twenty four in this draft. So is he talking
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: about trading down from six? Is he talking about trading
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: down from twenty four? Does he not like anybody at six?
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Or does he really like this draft more than most
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: people and would like to accumulate some more picks. But
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Cleveland is trying to move down at least that's the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: message Andrew Berry himself is trying to spread. And that's
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: the beautiful thing about stocking stuffers in NFL draft rumors
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: because they're unlike really any other rumors and sports, because
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: they might he might just be intentionally saying that right
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: to throw people off of what his intentions are for
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: whatever reason. But Cameron Wolf from the NFL Network has
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: added on to this, saying that the Browns may want
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: to be trading down, but they are still in the market.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: They want a wide receiver out of this first round,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: and they want a left tackle out of this first
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: round left tackle. Those are two really good positions. Deep
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: positions supposed to be a down draft. But the three
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: areas that people are talking up. Number one is edge rusher,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: number two is tackle, and then number three is probably
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: a wide receiver. So the Browns are seeking, according to
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Cameron Wolf, a wide receiver and a left tackle out
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: of this process.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: All right, I mean, I do love the speculation and
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: the Yeah, why would they be telling us they want.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: To Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's not real smoke, no,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: but it's fun. It's like intended smoke. Is intended smoke,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: real smoke.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: No, it's it's like vape smoke.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's supposed to be, oh something smoking over there.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I wonder if they know that's.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Going on, that this is like, no, we're no, here's
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: our smoke.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: We're sending out smoking. We are literally trying to throw
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: you off of our path. That does happen, it really does.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: And then wide receivers. You know, maybe it is a
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: deep position. Several names out there being mentioned as first
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: round picks, but I think there are more teams being
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: suggested as wide receiver hungry in the first round. I mean,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: you think about it. Just in this week alone. There's Cleveland,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: who we just discussed. We just discussed the Los Angeles
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Rams yesterday that they have long been discussed in this area.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: You got the Puka Nakua situation, and I'm sure that's
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: not going to amount to too much. I think they're
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: going to get their arms around that. But they've already
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: told DeVante Adams they've been shopping in for goodness sake,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: they've had a little bit of interest in AJ Brown,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: which apparently had fizzled there for a while, and I
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe it's renewed. I have no idea, but
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: they have long been rumored to be wanting a wide
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: receiver out of this process. So they've been heavily rumored.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: The New York Jets, who have more draft capital than
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: anybody else, apparently they want to get a wide receiver
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: before the first round comes to a close. And now
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: we're talking about the Philadelphia Eagles trying to get a
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: wide receiver as well, which is only fueling the AJ
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Brown conversation. So it feels to me, Ashley, through all
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: of the rumors that more teams are being rumored to
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: want wide receivers in the first round than there are
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: worthy first round wide receivers right now.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: That bodes really well for Denzel Boston.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was going to say also though, then if
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: you think it could be more of that smoke right
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: where there's more teams that are wanting the wide receivers,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: and then there's those teams that have the higher draft
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: positions could potentially have some leverage to get people to
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: move up if they think there's going to be they're
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: going to run out of wide receivers by the time
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: they get there. But I love that it bodes well
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: for Boston because I think he is fantastic wide receivers.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: And left tackles, It's like, there, it feels like there's
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: more of these guys than there normally are, especially left
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: tackles that are first round worthy, especially in a down draft.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: But it does also feel like there are more teams
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: that want a left tackle out of the first round. So,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: you know, what what is economics, It's you know, it's
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: supply and demand, and so all of a sudden, you
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: think there's enough supply that it should last a little while.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: So if you're the Detroit Lions picking at seventeen, and
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: you have a desperate need for left tackle the supply
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: suggest But if there's greater demand than the supply, now
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're paying a higher premium for
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: something you thought there was a surplus of. Yeah, and
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: that seems to be where we are less than three
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: weeks away from the actual draft. In those couple varies,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's fascinating. I find it all fascinating. That's

• 35:39
  Speaker 3: And then this one right up there with Hucon Cornelius

• 35:45
  Speaker 2: It's got to be Hewle log right, the law.

  Speaker 3: Hopefully this is the last night our big three bats
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: get or the last Hopefully this is the night not
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: the last night. Hopefully this is the night our big
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: three bats get going. I want Juliocallen Naylor to go.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know, fifteen for fifteen with six homers. That's fair, right,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: mm hmm yeah yeah. And some people would be like,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: well that's a lot to ask for a weekend. No, no, no,
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: I'm seeing tonight fifteen for fifteen. They're each going to
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: have five at bats and six on runs for the weekend.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: I got loftier goals.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: I think forty five for forty five, fifteen dingers.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Let's get this thing going.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: We're gonna break out, break out.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: That's right, Go big or go home. It's what the
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: kids say, that's what they say. I will say this.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: The Mariner's overreaction after a slow start not unexpected. And
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: on point, I've already seen people saying that Julio needs
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: to be traded.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Oh jeez, and uh, I don't have anything to say
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: to that. I would just do this. And what's next.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: We're gonna send Cal to Tacoma this year. They wanted
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Julio to go to Tacoma last year, so it does
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Cal need to go.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I just can't with this again.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I know people get sick of hearing this. Phrase, but
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: it's said by everybody in the sport for a reason.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: It's early. Ye in a lot of different ways. We're
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: not going to be a sub five hundred team, and
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: our three best hitters are not going to be terrible
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: much longer than these seven games. But every every athlete,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: I don't care how good you are, Aaron Judge goes
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: through extended shoe Otani does not have a home run
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: yet this year. Yeah, so everybody goes through these extended
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: slumps at some point during the season. It just thinks
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: that our three best guys are all going through them
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: out of the gates at the exact same.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Time, and I would love to see them break out
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: of it. That's why they're going forty five for forty
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: five over the weekend.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: I'll do it right.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll break you out and no one will want
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: to trade any of them after that. The Kraken are
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: in super crunch time as they try to make a
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: last last gasp at the playoffs.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: So to quote the Great Mike and the Mechanics, All
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: we need is a miracle? Is that Mike and the Mechanics?
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: It was? Is it really? I think so?
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Might be?
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: I think it was if not a miracle. Yeah, that's it.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And if they can pull that off, it will
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: be the greatest miracle on ice I think. Ever, like
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: I would honestly think of making it a movie. We
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: could call it just miracle.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I hope it hasn't been taken. I don't
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: think you are on to something.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: I think I think so, I think so. Okay, So
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: this is now part of Booze News.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Has nothing to do with sports, but has everything to
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: do with our morning commutes. Right, we drive in early,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: it's dark, and we've got a lot of listeners who
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: make that same similar commute. So I'm curious how many
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: people see the same things that we see, which is
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: that people don't think that laws are in effect when
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: it's before six in the morning. The amount of people
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: I see that come up to a red light and
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: they're like, I waited long enough, gotta go hmm.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: That happens at least three times every morning.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: How about on the drive down the hill? Yeah, like
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: once a week, somebody just thinks it's okay to park
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: in the lane. Yes, because this is where I'm supposed
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: to be and so I'm just gonna park my car
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the road because there's no parking
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: spot near the curb, right.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Andrea, Yeah, it's well.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: This morning, I I this is the first time I'd
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: seen this. There was a red car coming off I five,
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: like coming off the Mercer off ramp, and you know,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: the two left lanes on that ramp turn left.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: So this car was in front of me in this
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: going the lane going straight and then.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: Just decides, you know what, I think I'm gonna go
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: left and just went left with the light red and
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: cars coming from the other direction, So went across six
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: lanes of traffic with a red light because he was like.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: I don't need to wait in that line.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: It's unreal.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: It is unreal. And I'm like, man, if I was
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: a cop, i'd just be hanging out there.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I was just thinking about that this morning. I mean,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: I was watching somebody tail somebody and I'm telling you,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: they were going seventy five miles an hour and he
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: was three inches from the bumper, three inches from and
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: he was swerving the old time. He's clearly drunk. Oh god,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: and you know, out of town Texas license plate and
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: everything else. And I'm just like, why doesn't somebody just
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: station themselves here on this stretch because this is because
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: most people drive timidly I think in this town, and
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: then one out of ten drives so recklessly. It's just scary.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: You could get your ticket quota if you were an
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: officer and easily just don't.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Pull me over because I am eating a little bit.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but worse meeting like five to ten miles an
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: hour over, that's different.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Well, you put me on going seventy two without tailing somebody,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: then you've got a big problem.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, come on, man, Plus I can go, so I
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: can go up to fifteen miles an hour over if
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: I'm passing, that's the rule.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, always be passing. Oh abp Yeah all right,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: all right, very well done. Nice job everybody, have a
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: great weekend. Happy Draftmas to you all. Let the spirit
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: to ride inside your heart and souls throughout this entire month.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Do bell do well to others, because I think that's
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: really what the Draftmas spirit is all about, trying to
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: find a great three tech defensive tackle and also being
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: good to others.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Couldn't have set it better.
