Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Now, from the Star Reynolds Sports Desk, your 93.3 KJR
- 0:04Speaker 1: FM Sports Headlines.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Brought to you by Frostbrood, Coors Light, Cold as the Rockies,
- 0:09Speaker 2: Ems blew it again last night, lost to the Angels,
- 0:11Speaker 2: but the Angels are really good. I mean, they're a
- 0:13Speaker 2: World Series contender, I think. Ems now 5.5 behind the Astros,
- 0:17Speaker 2: 11 games to go. Chiefs dominated the Broncos 31-10. Monday
- 0:20Speaker 2: Night Football last night, Ken Walker went off, rushing for
- 0:22Speaker 2: 173 yards and 23 touchdowns. I'm sure Lund will have
- 0:25Speaker 2: something to say about that. Can't wait. Still no update
- 0:27Speaker 2: on Sam Donald's injury. Very unique soft tissue injury. Hip
- 0:30Speaker 2: joint is not affected. We'll get more on that as well.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Let's get to our number three in John Lund.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Welcome to Ian's weekly visit with John Lund Unleashed. He's
- 0:39Speaker 1: a Bay Area media icon who's known Ian for over
- 0:43Speaker 1: 25 years. But don't let their age change your opinion
- 0:46Speaker 1: of them. John takes you through the Bay Area and
- 0:49Speaker 1: the NFC West and dukes it out with Ian over
- 0:51Speaker 1: the Niners and the Hawks.
- 0:53Speaker 2: So let's unleash it. Now with John Lund, here's Ian. God,
- 0:57Speaker 2: Ashley's getting the full John Lund experience right now.
- 1:00Speaker 3: I love it when this happens.
- 1:01Speaker 2: This is awesome. Just so you know. This is typical.
- 1:05Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:07Speaker 2: He, he texted me three minutes ago.
- 1:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:11Speaker 3: He was texting with us.
- 1:13Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:13Speaker 2: And he sent me a separate text to let me
- 1:14Speaker 2: know that he's going to be at the Seahawks game
- 1:16Speaker 2: against the Cardinals on Sunday.
- 1:18Speaker 4: All right.
- 1:18Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to try him again.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Give him a shout.
- 1:20Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:20Speaker 2: He'll be there. He just, he, this is his thing.
- 1:22Speaker 2: He likes messing around. He thinks it's funny. Uh, and,
- 1:26Speaker 2: and now in, in fairness, he gets off the air
- 1:28Speaker 2: at two o'clock too. So I can, I can see
- 1:30Speaker 2: part of that as well. Uh, But yeah, there's a
- 1:34Speaker 2: lot to discuss with this knucklehead today because of what
- 1:38Speaker 2: happened in the first weekend of the NFL season, for sure.
- 1:40Speaker 2: We'll get to him in just a couple seconds. 49451,
- 1:42Speaker 2: give me a couple teases here for a second. 49451
- 1:45Speaker 2: is the Tacoma Dutch text line. We'll get to your
- 1:47Speaker 2: text coming up at 2.30. Ashley has a pick in
- 1:49Speaker 2: fact or fiction. That's coming up as well at 2.35 today.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Your chance to win a $ 1, 000 weekly prize or a
- 1:55Speaker 2: $ 10, 000 grand prize. See, this is a typical San Francisco
- 1:59Speaker 2: thing because what happens is, These guys win a big game,
- 2:05Speaker 2: get a little full of themselves, and then we get
- 2:07Speaker 2: Lund being Lund. That's what happens. We'll get him on
- 2:11Speaker 2: in just a couple seconds. The Seahawks will be back
- 2:14Speaker 2: on the field tomorrow, or as I like to say,
- 2:17Speaker 2: and Ashley will make fun of it, tomorrow. They'll be
- 2:20Speaker 2: back on the field tomorrow. We'll hear from Mike McDonald tomorrow.
- 2:22Speaker 2: We'll get a little bit more on Sam Darnold. The
- 2:25Speaker 2: game this Sunday in Arizona, which we were excited about,
- 2:29Speaker 2: looked to be like an easy win. Doesn't feel like
- 2:31Speaker 2: that right now with what happened before. So we'll get
- 2:35Speaker 2: to that, all that stuff. I think he's there. Is
- 2:37Speaker 2: he there? Okay, here we go. Is he there? Oh,
- 2:42Speaker 2: they're having a nice conversation. Okay, there he is. See,
- 2:46Speaker 2: I told Ashley the full John Lund experience is only
- 2:50Speaker 2: that if you are late. That's, you know, that's what
- 2:54Speaker 2: I'm saying. Her first... This is day two with me
- 2:59Speaker 2: after the trade was completed with the morning show. And
- 3:02Speaker 2: I warned her about one thing, and that would be you.
- 3:05Speaker 2: That would be you. All right?
- 3:06Speaker 5: He did.
- 3:08Speaker 4: What? That's ridiculous.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:13Speaker 4: I'm always on time. There was a terrible flood. It
- 3:16Speaker 4: wasn't my fault. Like the Blues Brothers, you know? It
- 3:21Speaker 4: wasn't my fault.
- 3:22Speaker 5: To be fair, he said I would have to call
- 3:23Speaker 5: you five times.
- 3:24Speaker 3: I only had to call you three times, and then
- 3:26Speaker 3: you called.
- 3:26Speaker 4: Back, so.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Let me say. Come back. How about that?
- 3:30Speaker 4: She didn't even call me. I called you.
- 3:32Speaker 2: That's even better.
- 3:33Speaker 4: How about that?
- 3:34Speaker 2: That's really good because I would never call you. Four
- 3:36Speaker 2: minutes after the hour for those. I've got a couple
- 3:38Speaker 2: on the text line.
- 3:40Speaker 4: Oh, please. You're always late. This is the most on
- 3:42Speaker 4: time you've ever been on your entire life.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Well, because I have a new producer, and she actually
- 3:45Speaker 2: cracks the whip to make sure I'm on time. It's
- 3:47Speaker 2: not like Anders is sloughing off doing nothing.
- 3:49Speaker 3: I give him.
- 3:50Speaker 4: By the way, whatever you gave up, you won.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Oh, I did.
- 3:54Speaker 4: Anders was trash. Let's be honest. He's terrible. I know.
- 3:59Speaker 2: I'm waiting for Chuck to give me the call. Hey,
- 4:00Speaker 2: we need to rescind the trade.
- 4:02Speaker 4: No.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Sorry. No, it doesn't work that way.
- 4:04Speaker 4: No physicals, none of that stuff. None of that. None
- 4:07Speaker 4: of that. No take backsies, whatever that was in elementary school.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Yeah, take backsies. Is that when you're trading your lunch?
- 4:15Speaker 2: I thought I was getting a ding dong. No, I'm
- 4:17Speaker 2: getting a stale Oreo cookie. No, I wanted a ding dong.
- 4:20Speaker 4: Whatever. Damn. I did. Yeah, this isn't Max Crosby.
- 4:24Speaker 2: This is not happening.
- 4:26Speaker 4: Oh, God.
- 4:26Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
- 4:27Speaker 2: By the way, I did lunch show last. Was it
- 4:30Speaker 2: last Wednesday I did it? Was it last Wednesday? Yeah, probably.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:34Speaker 4: They angered everybody.
- 4:35Speaker 2: People were getting upset, I heard. Yeah, I don't know why.
- 4:37Speaker 2: I thought it was very nice.
- 4:38Speaker 4: You know what you're doing. You said San Fran. They
- 4:41Speaker 4: hate San Fran. They hate Frisco, all that stuff.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
- 4:45Speaker 4: That's all you would do. San Fran and Frisco. They
- 4:47Speaker 4: were like, who's this clown?
- 4:49Speaker 2: Make fun of the substation a couple times. That gets
- 4:51Speaker 2: people very fired up.
- 4:52Speaker 4: Oh, you make fun of Candlestick. And it's like, look,
- 4:54Speaker 4: Candlestick is a dump, but it's our dump.
- 4:56Speaker 2: You know what I mean? So you can't make fun
- 4:58Speaker 2: of it. But you did.
- 4:58Speaker 4: You said you almost got killed there one time. You
- 5:01Speaker 4: were embellishing a little or a lot.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Not very much. I think I did three postgame shows
- 5:08Speaker 2: for Fox outside. And you had to do them next
- 5:11Speaker 2: to the Santa Cans, next to the park. It was
- 5:14Speaker 2: like the worst place you could possibly do a TV
- 5:16Speaker 2: postgame show. Like, it's just a viral moment waiting to
- 5:20Speaker 2: happen the whole time. But I do like, honestly, I
- 5:24Speaker 2: told you guys this, I like candlestick. I miss candlestick.
- 5:27Speaker 2: It was a dump, but it was your dump, but
- 5:29Speaker 2: it was kind of a charming dump along the way.
- 5:31Speaker 2: I didn't mind it. There's part of me that misses
- 5:33Speaker 2: the kingdom here, to be honest.
- 5:37Speaker 4: I attended games there. I lived in Edmonds, Washington for
- 5:39Speaker 4: a while, and I attended. I was there when Efren
- 5:42Speaker 4: Herrera threw a pass. I was there when maybe he
- 5:45Speaker 4: caught a pass. It was against Minnesota or something. But anyway, yeah,
- 5:47Speaker 4: I was there. I'm younger than you. I look younger
- 5:50Speaker 4: than you. You've got a complete gray beard. Come on, man.
- 5:53Speaker 4: Precision formula is your friend. Let's go.
- 5:54Speaker 2: No, I can't see it. The problem at this point,
- 5:56Speaker 2: I can't change it. Because if I do, people are
- 5:58Speaker 2: going to go, oh, you're coloring your beard. You're coloring
- 6:00Speaker 2: your hair. I can't do that. I was too late.
- 6:04Speaker 2: I should have done that years ago. God, I'm screwed.
- 6:06Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good point. Is that why they fired
- 6:08Speaker 4: you from the TV?
- 6:09Speaker 2: They did not.
- 6:10Speaker 4: You didn't do TV for hockey.
- 6:11Speaker 2: I got TV for hockey. I didn't get fired. I've
- 6:13Speaker 2: been fired plenty of times. That wasn't one of the times. No,
- 6:16Speaker 2: I changed TV jobs.
- 6:16Speaker 4: You weren't supposed to find out about that. I forgot.
- 6:18Speaker 2: I wasn't supposed to find.
- 6:19Speaker 4: Out about that. Yeah, no.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Listen, stop it. When am I coming back on your show?
- 6:24Speaker 4: What are we talking about today?
- 6:26Speaker 2: Mike Florio in Pro Football Talk put a story out
- 6:29Speaker 2: that apparently the 49ers in San Fran are the favorites
- 6:33Speaker 2: to win the NFC West now.
- 6:35Speaker 4: What the hell?
- 6:36Speaker 2: What world are we living in?
- 6:37Speaker 3: Yeah, come on.
- 6:38Speaker 4: God, we're okay. As much as I'd love to come
- 6:41Speaker 4: on here and say that, ha ha. And I, we
- 6:44Speaker 4: were texting back and forth, you and I, but it's like,
- 6:46Speaker 4: it's one week, man. Like they crushed the Rams. You know,
- 6:49Speaker 4: Sean McVay is a dummy. Um, they, they look stupid
- 6:52Speaker 4: for coming in there late and now they're trying to say,
- 6:54Speaker 4: oh yeah, we did that on purpose. Cause you know,
- 6:56Speaker 4: we wanted to be on track the whole year. Like
- 6:57Speaker 4: LA media is a bunch of morons. And so, you know,
- 7:01Speaker 4: that stuff's going on. But it's one week. Like, Miles
- 7:04Speaker 4: Garrett's out, you know, all this kind of stuff. Like,
- 7:07Speaker 4: it's one week. I mean, the Niners play the Dolphins.
- 7:09Speaker 4: The Dolphins are terrible. So, not then. But, like, Arizona
- 7:12Speaker 4: week three, they look pretty good. Like, would it surprise
- 7:14Speaker 4: me that the Niners overlooked the Arizona and that was
- 7:16Speaker 4: a close game or something?
- 7:17Speaker 1: No.
- 7:18Speaker 4: You know, so it's one week, everybody overreacts over one
- 7:21Speaker 4: week and freaks out. Like they're saying the Niners are this, or,
- 7:24Speaker 4: you know, I think the, you know, I'm not a
- 7:26Speaker 4: big power ranking guy, but the, I'd say that this morning,
- 7:30Speaker 4: the Niners is like number one in power rankings. It's like,
- 7:34Speaker 4: you know, come on, man. Like everyone's overreacting. I mean,
- 7:37Speaker 4: that was probably, it probably was the biggest win or
- 7:40Speaker 4: best win of week one going to Australia. killing the Rams. They,
- 7:44Speaker 4: I mean, they looked, the Rams were terrible. I don't
- 7:46Speaker 4: know how much was jet lag and how much was
- 7:47Speaker 4: actual football, but the Niners just crushed him. That was
- 7:50Speaker 4: probably the best win of week one because everybody was
- 7:52Speaker 4: talking so much about the Rams, but you know, to
- 7:55Speaker 4: say that they're going to be the NFC, you know,
- 7:57Speaker 4: the NFC West favorites.
- 7:59Speaker 2: I'd probably back off on that before that, before they
- 8:01Speaker 2: gave up and put Stetson Bennett in the Rams, not
- 8:06Speaker 2: even their, not even their first round quarterback that they
- 8:09Speaker 2: have in Tyson before they put Stetson Bennett in, The
- 8:12Speaker 2: 49ers had held the Rams to 260 yards of offense.
- 8:18Speaker 2: They finished with 290. But, I mean, that was an ass-kicking, man.
- 8:23Speaker 2: I know it's week one, but I know if that
- 8:26Speaker 2: was the 49ers that it happened to or the Seahawks
- 8:29Speaker 2: it happened to, we'd be having a different discussion today.
- 8:32Speaker 2: There'd be a little bit of panic on our shows.
- 8:35Speaker 4: Yeah, and I don't know how much to believe. Again,
- 8:38Speaker 4: I'd love to come on here in Seattle and make
- 8:40Speaker 4: everybody panic that they're this good, but they weren't supposed
- 8:43Speaker 4: to have much of a pass rush. Raheem Morris kind
- 8:45Speaker 4: of schemed that up that they did. I think the
- 8:50Speaker 4: worst game that Matthew Stafford ever had was that first
- 8:52Speaker 4: game last year against the Seahawks in L.A., not the
- 8:55Speaker 4: last two, which were kind of shootouts, but that first one.
- 8:57Speaker 4: I mean, he threw for 155 yards. He looked confused.
- 9:01Speaker 4: Puka Nakua wasn't really even part of the offense. I mean,
- 9:03Speaker 4: I know what he had done to the Seahawks. I mean, they,
- 9:05Speaker 4: they shut them down in every way you could shut
- 9:07Speaker 4: them down. They, they caused turnovers. I mean, it was
- 9:10Speaker 4: like you said, that's as bad as you're going to
- 9:12Speaker 4: be to Sean McVay team. They scored seven points. They
- 9:14Speaker 4: were up seven, three, and then the Niner and the
- 9:16Speaker 4: Niners missed a field goal. I mean, they really, they
- 9:18Speaker 4: could have hammered it even worse.
- 9:20Speaker 5: In that game.
- 9:20Speaker 4: It was a complete disaster. butt kicking and then miles
- 9:23Speaker 4: garrett goes out i mean really you know what's funny
- 9:26Speaker 4: about week one narratives and you and i talk about
- 9:27Speaker 4: it all the time is like who would have thought
- 9:29Speaker 4: a week ago you know the rams were plus 500
- 9:32Speaker 4: to win the super bowl it's just going to be
- 9:33Speaker 4: you know a matter of how the rams win the
- 9:35Speaker 4: super bowl and now they lose they don't look good
- 9:38Speaker 4: doing it uh-oh all of a sudden like i heard
- 9:40Speaker 4: a thing today that said that you know what matthew
- 9:42Speaker 4: stafford and his back and he might not and they
- 9:44Speaker 4: might not make the playoffs and it's like let's settle
- 9:46Speaker 4: down but as far as being dominant that was as
- 9:49Speaker 4: dominant as a win you're ever going to get.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Over the rams Well, I think you mentioned it, though.
- 9:53Speaker 2: We talked about it last week. The most interesting part
- 9:57Speaker 2: of this game was the case study of sports science.
- 9:59Speaker 2: was it not? And then whoever it didn't work for
- 10:04Speaker 2: would downplay it on the back end. But there's no
- 10:07Speaker 2: doubt about it. It made a difference. I mean, the
- 10:12Speaker 2: Rams weren't right, and the 49ers did it right, invested
- 10:15Speaker 2: in the trip, invested in going down early. And McVay's
- 10:18Speaker 2: not the smartest guy in the room every day like
- 10:20Speaker 2: he thinks he is. And we also said it on
- 10:23Speaker 2: the show last week, so we can't go back. We
- 10:25Speaker 2: were rooting for the 49ers. I mean, we were all
- 10:27Speaker 2: 49ers fans last week. It was a good— I think, honestly—
- 10:32Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if pretty much every NFL fan
- 10:34Speaker 2: was rooting for the 49ers last week. Because people don't
- 10:36Speaker 2: like super teams. They just don't. They don't like super teams.
- 10:39Speaker 2: And that's what that team was. And they make it easy.
- 10:42Speaker 4: I mean, And I, and I don't know if you
- 10:43Speaker 4: saw the 60 minutes thing, but it's like, my God,
- 10:45Speaker 4: like he's smarter than everybody else. And the whole, it's just,
- 10:48Speaker 4: you know, I think they thought they were going to
- 10:49Speaker 4: win that. And then they were going to roll this
- 10:51Speaker 4: 60 minutes thing in there and all that thing. And,
- 10:53Speaker 4: and I was steadfast in my belief and I was
- 10:55Speaker 4: wrong as I often am. I'm like, look, this is
- 10:57Speaker 4: not going to have anything to do with travel. And,
- 10:59Speaker 4: and we're not going to talk about travel after the game.
- 11:01Speaker 4: And this is a pregame conversation. You know what? I
- 11:04Speaker 4: want to give, I can, I think you can do
- 11:06Speaker 4: two things at once. I want to give credit to
- 11:07Speaker 4: the 49ers for winning the game, but Dude, the Rams
- 11:11Speaker 4: were lethargic. I mean, they just, they had nothing left.
- 11:14Speaker 4: I've talked to a couple of, I've had a couple
- 11:16Speaker 4: of Niners on my show since that happened. Fred Warner
- 11:19Speaker 4: being one. And he just said, look, I could see
- 11:21Speaker 4: it in their eyes. Like they just, we got up
- 11:23Speaker 4: a couple of touchdowns on them and they just, they quit.
- 11:25Speaker 4: And not in the way that, you know, you don't
- 11:27Speaker 4: want to ever say an athlete quits because you don't know.
- 11:30Speaker 4: And that's a pretty hard thing to level against somebody.
- 11:32Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is, is that he just knew
- 11:34Speaker 4: that based on just their energy level, he's like, they're
- 11:36Speaker 4: just done. Like they don't have it.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Well, you better hope if you're the Rams. If you're
- 11:40Speaker 2: the Rams, you better sure as hell hope it was fatigue. Right?
- 11:44Speaker 4: Seriously.
- 11:45Speaker 2: If it wasn't... For people who don't know John Lund
- 11:49Speaker 2: covered Stafford early in his career. He was working in
- 11:52Speaker 2: Detroit then. He's been around forever. And at some point,
- 11:57Speaker 2: stuff stops working as well as it used to. Again,
- 12:02Speaker 2: I'm just trying to put myself down there. If I
- 12:04Speaker 2: was doing a show in LA, I'd be like, there's...
- 12:07Speaker 2: Hope like hell it was fatigue. And that's all it was.
- 12:10Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 12:10Speaker 2: And it's not Stafford is, you know, it's been, you know,
- 12:14Speaker 2: eight months since he played a game. And we age.
- 12:17Speaker 2: And hopefully it's not that if you're the Rams. Hopefully
- 12:19Speaker 2: Pukunuku's mind isn't all messed up and distracted. And you'll
- 12:22Speaker 2: go through the whole list of stuff. Oh, I hope
- 12:23Speaker 2: it is. I hope it is, too. I mean, we're
- 12:25Speaker 2: all hoping that. But if you're the Rams, that's what
- 12:27Speaker 2: you're hoping. At the same time, the 49ers look great. Like,
- 12:30Speaker 2: they look fantastic. Like, and part of that's coaching. And
- 12:33Speaker 2: part of that is, hey, George Kittle's healthy. Bosa looks healthy.
- 12:38Speaker 2: Most of us don't like to see McCaffrey have more
- 12:41Speaker 2: than 15 touches in a game, 10 and 5. I'm
- 12:44Speaker 2: not sure why we had to see so much of
- 12:46Speaker 2: Keon Black, but nevertheless. But they managed him perfectly.
- 12:53Speaker 4: You know, they managed him perfectly. I didn't want to
- 12:56Speaker 4: send this to you, but there was a local writer
- 12:58Speaker 4: who said, are we finally seeing Kyle Shanahan balance the
- 13:01Speaker 4: running back duties, which, you know, would have made you
- 13:03Speaker 4: really mad, but that's not going to happen. Like that
- 13:06Speaker 4: was one game. I think McCaffrey had 10 carries, Black
- 13:08Speaker 4: had 15. And of course you have McCaffrey as well.
- 13:11Speaker 4: you know, a player on your fantasy team. So it's
- 13:14Speaker 4: not as, by the way, not that anyone wants to
- 13:16Speaker 4: hear fantasy, but my wife beat me in fantasy this week.
- 13:18Speaker 4: And it is ruthless. I mean, ruthless and ruthless. She's
- 13:21Speaker 4: texting me constantly. She's never played. That was the first
- 13:24Speaker 4: game she ever played. And I bet her dinner. And
- 13:26Speaker 4: she's like, yeah, like the most expensive place. Cause I
- 13:29Speaker 4: told her last week, I go, let's put a cap
- 13:31Speaker 4: on it. Cause you know, I'm going to beat you
- 13:33Speaker 4: pretty bad. And it's, you know, your team's not very good.
- 13:35Speaker 4: And she smoked me like, like 20 points. Anyway, I digress.
- 13:39Speaker 4: I don't even know what we're talking about.
- 13:41Speaker 2: For those that don't know, John's wife doesn't like him.
- 13:44Speaker 2: So the fact she's texting him, that does say something
- 13:47Speaker 2: right there.
- 13:48Speaker 4: She would never text me.
- 13:49Speaker 2: She's communicating with you.
- 13:50Speaker 4: It's been ruthless. It's been ruthless. Probably like 10 to
- 13:54Speaker 4: 15 texts since that. It was honestly her first game.
- 13:57Speaker 4: She didn't even know. She's like, so is this for
- 13:59Speaker 4: the whole season?
- 14:00Speaker 2: What are we doing?
- 14:00Speaker 4: Do I need to put... She's asking me all these
- 14:02Speaker 4: elementary questions. I'm like, oh man, this is the best
- 14:05Speaker 4: free dinner I've ever had.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Free W.
- 14:07Speaker 4: I get beat by 20. Oh, my God. Yeah, you
- 14:09Speaker 4: got to be big 20.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Anyway, what were we talking about? I'll go back to
- 14:12Speaker 2: the Rams for a second because it is like first
- 14:14Speaker 2: week overreaction is always fun. But one of the ones
- 14:17Speaker 2: that is interesting is then look at week two because
- 14:20Speaker 2: we do this in college too. I mean, your friends
- 14:22Speaker 2: and mine, the Oregon Ducks, are thinking this right now. Like, okay,
- 14:24Speaker 2: we got the one loss. We got the one loss
- 14:26Speaker 2: to Oklahoma State. We got Portland State, but then we
- 14:29Speaker 2: got USC, I think, after that. All of a sudden,
- 14:32Speaker 2: losses aren't good. That right-hand column, the Giants go to
- 14:36Speaker 2: the Rams for Monday Night Football next week, on next Monday. Well,
- 14:41Speaker 2: John Harbaugh looks like the Giants actually look like a
- 14:45Speaker 2: legitimate football team for the first time. Can you imagine
- 14:47Speaker 2: if they go in there and knock off the Rams
- 14:49Speaker 2: on Monday Night Football?
- 14:51Speaker 4: It wouldn't shock me only that not that I'm overreacting
- 14:53Speaker 4: to it because that's their easiest game over the next four.
- 14:56Speaker 4: I mean, they've got four really tough games, but the
- 14:58Speaker 4: reason why the giants might be real is because Jackson
- 15:01Speaker 4: dart looked good. And you know, look, everybody always says
- 15:04Speaker 4: that Dallas is going to be something they never are.
- 15:06Speaker 4: And it's the same old thing. You know, all these
- 15:08Speaker 4: people projected their defense to be good. And that's like,
- 15:10Speaker 4: they stink. but Jackson Dart looks like he's real. You know,
- 15:14Speaker 4: he was looking off receivers. He looked like a real
- 15:17Speaker 4: NFL quarterback versus last year. He was kind of one
- 15:19Speaker 4: read and then uses athleticism to run. He looked good. And,
- 15:23Speaker 4: you know, I think Scataboo is a little bit overrated,
- 15:25Speaker 4: but neighbors coming back and they've got a lot of
- 15:27Speaker 4: defensive talent. They always have. They just couldn't put it together.
- 15:30Speaker 4: And Harbaugh can, you know, obviously Harbaugh can coach. So,
- 15:32Speaker 4: You're right. That could be a dangerous game. And then
- 15:35Speaker 4: the other side, they got a few right after that
- 15:37Speaker 4: without miles Garrett and people are forgetting. They're saying that
- 15:40Speaker 4: it's four weeks minimum. Like he's not automatically going to
- 15:43Speaker 4: come back after four weeks. I think that the Rams
- 15:45Speaker 4: will slow play this and make sure that he's right.
- 15:47Speaker 4: So who knows? And then Aaron Donald's going to come
- 15:49Speaker 4: back without him. And look, I think Donald's going to
- 15:51Speaker 4: be fine, but he's 35 years old. You and I
- 15:53Speaker 4: talked about it last week. It's not automatic that he
- 15:55Speaker 4: comes back and is the dominant player that he was.
- 15:57Speaker 4: So it's funny that, you know, before the season starts,
- 16:00Speaker 4: it's all the Rams. And now it's like, Oh my God,
- 16:03Speaker 4: the Rams have an improved giants team. And then a
- 16:05Speaker 4: bunch of tough games behind that. Could they start like
- 16:07Speaker 4: two and three or something like that? They could.
- 16:10Speaker 2: They're Donald's like, wait a second. I came back. Cause
- 16:12Speaker 2: I'm playing with this dude. He's going to get double
- 16:14Speaker 2: teamed every day. Watch Aaron Donald go, yeah, I'm on
- 16:18Speaker 2: the same timeline right now as Garrett. You let me
- 16:21Speaker 2: know when he's back, and I'll make my debut when
- 16:24Speaker 2: he's back.
- 16:25Speaker 4: I can see that. I can see that.
- 16:27Speaker 2: He's like, dude, I.
- 16:29Speaker 4: Came back for some easy work. I want to stand
- 16:31Speaker 4: next to Miles Garrett. I don't want to stand next
- 16:32Speaker 4: to Brandon. I mean, what are you kidding me? What
- 16:35Speaker 4: are we doing?
- 16:35Speaker 2: He's probably saying, where's that Jared Verskite? He's really, oh,
- 16:40Speaker 2: he got traded for it. Okay, no, I'm good. You
- 16:43Speaker 2: let me know when Garrett's back. You mentioned the Cowboys.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Another place John worked was Dallas.
- 16:48Speaker 4: Who knew?
- 16:48Speaker 2: But you mentioned the Dallas Cowboys. I had to chuckle
- 16:53Speaker 2: because Dallas did something that every team's trying to do
- 16:56Speaker 2: right now in the NFL. You're trying to find the
- 16:59Speaker 2: new wonder kid, right? The young guy, the up-and-coming coordinator
- 17:04Speaker 2: or head, whatever it would be. And for every McVay
- 17:08Speaker 2: or Kyle or McDonald, there's Mike McDaniel and go down
- 17:13Speaker 2: the list, right? Of guys it just, it doesn't work
- 17:15Speaker 2: out for. And it's one game, but man, Christian Parker,
- 17:18Speaker 2: I mean, I talked to you after the preseason game,
- 17:20Speaker 2: the Seahawks played preseason game and All the Dallas talk
- 17:22Speaker 2: was about Christian Parker, their new D.C., and this guy,
- 17:25Speaker 2: he's the dude, man. Because Dallas' defense was awful last year,
- 17:29Speaker 2: and their offense was really good. Their defense allowed 9
- 17:32Speaker 2: of 11 third-down conversions to the Giants. They gave up
- 17:34Speaker 2: almost 400 yards. They couldn't get a stop at the end,
- 17:37Speaker 2: the last two drives when they needed one. That looks
- 17:39Speaker 2: like the same damn Dallas defense, maybe even worse.
- 17:43Speaker 4: Well, and, and plus like New York ran the same
- 17:45Speaker 4: swing pass out to the back three straight times. Like,
- 17:48Speaker 4: I don't know what they're doing. I like Caleb downs.
- 17:50Speaker 4: That was a really nice pickup, but you know, the Niners,
- 17:53Speaker 4: one of the better off season moves that was underrated, uh,
- 17:57Speaker 4: they got OSA, uh, the, uh, the defensive tackle that,
- 17:59Speaker 4: that the, uh, that the Cowboys had. Oh, dig a Zua.
- 18:03Speaker 4: And they got him like a third round pick. He
- 18:04Speaker 4: had four pressures against the Rams. Like he's a good
- 18:07Speaker 4: interior defensive lineman. He was their best defensive lineman. in
- 18:10Speaker 4: week one against the Rams and they let him go.
- 18:13Speaker 4: Like they still haven't really replaced Micah Parsons. I know
- 18:16Speaker 4: that everybody thinks that they're back and you know what
- 18:18Speaker 4: they did to the, to the defense, but I've met,
- 18:21Speaker 4: you know, until Dallas proves something, I never believed their
- 18:24Speaker 4: preseason hype. So they're not anything. The Eagles didn't look
- 18:27Speaker 4: all that great. It was Washington shooting themselves in the
- 18:30Speaker 4: foot as much as anything else. The bears, everybody's talking
- 18:33Speaker 4: about the bears. They scored 59. They gave up 37.
- 18:35Speaker 4: I just, I like their offense and I love Ben Johnson,
- 18:39Speaker 4: but you know, you and I often talk about just
- 18:41Speaker 4: the entire look of the NFC. The Packers look terrible.
- 18:45Speaker 4: I've never, we've, we've talked about this a ton. I'm
- 18:47Speaker 4: not a Kyler Murray fan at all. I feel bad
- 18:49Speaker 4: for the concussion, but the one thing people aren't talking about,
- 18:51Speaker 4: you and I have talked about this before. He dives.
- 18:54Speaker 4: He is the worst at diving at the last second.
- 18:56Speaker 4: Niners coaches have told me time and time again, they
- 18:58Speaker 4: get pissed because he's already low to the ground. And
- 19:02Speaker 4: then he's, he's the worst now because quarterbacks generally don't
- 19:05Speaker 4: get hit on the slide anymore. Guys know. And, but
- 19:08Speaker 4: what Kyler did at the last minute to get smashed
- 19:10Speaker 4: like that was he does what he always does. And
- 19:11Speaker 4: I'm not, I'm not saying that I want Kyler get
- 19:13Speaker 4: hurt like that. But his first pass was an interception.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Oh, his first pass?
- 19:18Speaker 4: I'm Minnesota.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Oh, John, his first pass was vintage Kyler Murray. It
- 19:23Speaker 2: was vintage.
- 19:23Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:23Speaker 2: The only thing missing was I thought Devin Witherspoon would
- 19:26Speaker 2: intercept it because it feels like those are the ones that... Seriously, like,
- 19:30Speaker 2: that is just a vintage... That's a vintage Kyler Murray throw.
- 19:34Speaker 2: I also think that the Packers were having buyer's remorse.
- 19:36Speaker 2: They're like, oh, we shouldn't have hit him. Like, keep
- 19:38Speaker 2: him in the game. We're better off. Yeah, exactly. We're
- 19:41Speaker 2: way better off.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Than this guy. Because Wentz played good, actually.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Yeah, he did.
- 19:43Speaker 4: But anyway... Point is, is that, you know, the NFC
- 19:46Speaker 4: right now, I mean, it's, week one. I get those
- 19:48Speaker 4: kind of things. Um, you know, and, and plus even
- 19:51Speaker 4: Arizona looked decent. I mean, their offense with, you know,
- 19:53Speaker 4: a disciple of, uh, you know, McVeigh, Scanihan, uh, another
- 19:57Speaker 4: Lafleur on our hands and they look decent. So look,
- 20:00Speaker 4: I don't, I don't think that they're going to be
- 20:02Speaker 4: good defensively, but they might score points. By the way, I'm,
- 20:05Speaker 4: I'm going to that game this weekend. I'm going to
- 20:06Speaker 4: Seahawks Cardinals.
- 20:07Speaker 2: If you need some help, if you need me to
- 20:09Speaker 2: actually make note of that reporter, we have a correspondent there.
- 20:12Speaker 4: Yes.
- 20:13Speaker 3: We would love your correspondence.
- 20:14Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 20:14Speaker 2: What are the chances we call the answers?
- 20:17Speaker 3: Well, it depends on how many times we call. Three
- 20:20Speaker 3: to five, I'd say the chances are pretty high.
- 20:22Speaker 2: Yeah, they might be. They might be. What a knucklehead. Yeah,
- 20:28Speaker 2: I'll go in there. Hey, we both have survivor picks
- 20:32Speaker 2: from the same survivor pool. Do we take the 49ers
- 20:35Speaker 2: this week?
- 20:39Speaker 4: They won't have a letdown. They will not. You can
- 20:42Speaker 4: put this. You can have this. And when they lose,
- 20:44Speaker 4: you can play this time. And they're not having a
- 20:46Speaker 4: letdown against Miami.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Miami stinks.
- 20:48Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw it in that game.
- 20:49Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 20:50Speaker 4: Against the Raiders.
- 20:51Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Yeah, no. They are terrible.
- 20:54Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Well, that was a funny thing. The Dolphins understand that
- 20:58Speaker 2: they're playing for the top pick. Apparently, the Cardinals and
- 21:01Speaker 2: the Jets did not. Right. You did not get the memo.
- 21:05Speaker 2: You didn't get the memo that, hey, New York, you're
- 21:08Speaker 2: supposed to be bad. What was that with Geno?
- 21:12Speaker 4: What, did Geno just hate Pete Carroll and the Raiders?
- 21:14Speaker 4: What happened? He played really good. That was crazy. What
- 21:18Speaker 4: the hell? It was crazy.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Check down Gino was 19-24 in his check down world
- 21:23Speaker 2: that he lives in. So let's not get too carried away,
- 21:25Speaker 2: all right?
- 21:26Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Although he did have three passes over 30 yards. I
- 21:30Speaker 2: don't know if those were catching runs, though. So check
- 21:34Speaker 2: down Gino. But yeah, the Titans, your buddy Robert Sala,
- 21:38Speaker 2: that looks like the old Titans again. That's good.
- 21:40Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I think he might be one of those
- 21:44Speaker 4: guys that's a really good coordinator. He's a leader of men.
- 21:47Speaker 4: I mean, he's a great guy, but, God, they're terrible.
- 21:49Speaker 4: Your guy, Cam Ward, see, if he was good, you
- 21:52Speaker 4: would say he went to Washington State. He's terrible.
- 21:54Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I don't even know. He is terrible. I
- 21:56Speaker 2: think he went to Miami and incarnate word.
- 21:58Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 22:01Speaker 2: That's where he went.
- 22:02Speaker 4: He is terrible. Oh, my God. Add that to the
- 22:06Speaker 4: bus list. I'm already ready to say that. He looks terrible.
- 22:08Speaker 4: By the way, I know we're not going to mention
- 22:10Speaker 4: this very long. I know that my Utah State Aggies lost,
- 22:13Speaker 4: but they didn't lose like your Washington State Cougars did.
- 22:15Speaker 2: I'm just saying.
- 22:16Speaker 4: We only lost by two.
- 22:17Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 22:18Speaker 4: We lost by two. The mighty Aggies only lost by two.
- 22:21Speaker 4: I'm just letting you know.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Let me just tell you this. Ashley, you can confirm.
- 22:24Speaker 2: Husky fans are taking that well, too, up here, right?
- 22:26Speaker 2: The performance by Washington.
- 22:28Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 22:28Speaker 2: They're taking that really well.
- 22:29Speaker 3: Yeah, two-point win over Utah State.
- 22:31Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 22:31Speaker 2: Something to celebrate. DeMond with his $ 4. 5 million contract at quarterback.
- 22:35Speaker 2: How much is your quarterback getting paid? Like $ 4? Kind
- 22:37Speaker 2: of like ours at Wazoo?
- 22:40Speaker 4: At Utah State, our players get paid in beer. We
- 22:43Speaker 4: have national tequila days at Utah State. It's everybody who
- 22:46Speaker 4: couldn't get into BYU. And it's just a bunch of,
- 22:48Speaker 4: a bunch of just complete degenerates like me. So that's
- 22:52Speaker 4: what our football team is with the, I mean, they're
- 22:54Speaker 4: a bunch of drunks and all that kind of like,
- 22:55Speaker 4: and they, they lost to Washington by two. We don't even, it's,
- 22:59Speaker 4: it's the worst football. It's terrible football. It's a terrible
- 23:02Speaker 4: football program. They get paid in beer. Come on.
- 23:05Speaker 2: It's all Jack Mormons up there. What do you mean?
- 23:09Speaker 4: Exactly. It's like, oh, I can't go into B... You know,
- 23:12Speaker 4: it's all the girls and guys that do the wrong
- 23:14Speaker 4: things in high school, and so they excommunicate them from
- 23:17Speaker 4: their church, and they all go to Utah State.
- 23:18Speaker 2: Honor code violations everywhere. They move up, they just go
- 23:21Speaker 2: north 90 miles. That's perfect.
- 23:23Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Well, we've offended everybody now, so I guess we're done. No,
- 23:28Speaker 2: it's fine. How are the.
- 23:31Speaker 4: Ducks fans taking that loss to Oklahoma State, by the way?
- 23:33Speaker 4: Is that going over pretty well?
- 23:34Speaker 2: Oh, buddy, it's... That's the one thing I think Ashley's
- 23:39Speaker 2: a Husky fan. I think that made the weekend tolerable, right?
- 23:41Speaker 3: Yeah, I laughed.
- 23:42Speaker 2: I think most people did. I got a text from
- 23:47Speaker 2: our former co-host that we share, Mark Amazon in Cincinnati.
- 23:50Speaker 2: He's an IU alum. And Amazon's just like making fun.
- 23:54Speaker 2: He's making fun of him. When Mark Amazon's making fun
- 23:57Speaker 2: of the Ducks, what did he say?
- 23:58Speaker 4: Yeah, he's the worst talk show host of all time,
- 24:00Speaker 4: by the way. Just the worst, but yeah.
- 24:02Speaker 2: He says, let me know if you need someone to
- 24:05Speaker 2: break down the most overhyped, overfunded, overrated embarrassment to the
- 24:08Speaker 2: Big Ten conference that I love. Shameful. Yeah, apparently everybody
- 24:12Speaker 2: in the Big Ten is celebrating Oregon's loss. Like everybody,
- 24:14Speaker 2: including your buddy Amazon.
- 24:17Speaker 4: So I'm doing their college football game day. So I
- 24:21Speaker 4: do college football game day on Saturday on Westwood 1,
- 24:23Speaker 4: and I do the NFL thing on Sunday, that thing
- 24:25Speaker 4: where you go around all the stadiums, all that stuff,
- 24:27Speaker 4: which is terrible for someone like me that's ADD.
- 24:30Speaker 2: They're like, Hey.
- 24:31Speaker 4: Let's put London there. It's like, Oh, shiny object. So
- 24:34Speaker 4: it's horrible to put me there. But anyway, I was
- 24:36Speaker 4: on the air when Oregon was losing that game to
- 24:38Speaker 4: Oklahoma state. And I was just laughing and people were
- 24:41Speaker 4: calling it and piss like the duck, you know, whatever
- 24:43Speaker 4: they call it, duck nation, which is like eight people. Yeah.
- 24:45Speaker 4: Like they were all calling in and getting all angry
- 24:47Speaker 4: at me. And I'm like, you lost to a team
- 24:49Speaker 4: that you beat 69 to three last year and had
- 24:52Speaker 4: lost 12 straight games and lost the Tulsa the week before.
- 24:56Speaker 4: And you're calling and saying something, what is wrong with you?
- 25:00Speaker 4: And you have the unlimited budget that you have. You
- 25:02Speaker 4: have this, you know, My God, their defense was horrible.
- 25:05Speaker 4: They give up 600 yards of offense daily. My God.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Best of makers of Heisman finalists now after that. By
- 25:11Speaker 2: the way, two texts for you before we go. We're late.

- 26:14Speaker 2: Ashley's got a factor fix, and we'll squeeze a couple
- 26:15Speaker 2: texts in as well next.
- 26:16Speaker 6: This is the Ancient Mariner. I didn't get the opportunity
- 26:22Speaker 6: to call in yesterday and welcome Ashley to the finest
- 26:26Speaker 6: radio program ever. in the world, so congratulations, Ashley. But secondarily,
- 26:32Speaker 6: you know, the silver lining in the Mariners' latest performance
- 26:37Speaker 6: is that they're 54% losing percentage. Jerry nailed it.
- 26:43Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't realize that.
- 26:44Speaker 3: Yeah, that's sad.
- 26:46Speaker 2: I did not realize that.
- 26:47Speaker 3: That is sad.
- 26:48Speaker 2: That is... Hang on a second. Mariners. Oh, my God.
- 26:55Speaker 1: Yes.
- 26:55Speaker 3: 46 win percent. I don't think we needed that.
- 26:59Speaker 2: 46 win percentage.
- 27:00Speaker 3: I didn't need to know that.
- 27:01Speaker 2: I would have been fine.
- 27:03Speaker 3: I would have been fine. I would have been fine.
- 27:06Speaker 4: Yeah. I didn't need it.
- 27:07Speaker 3: I didn't need it. Did you need it? Well, I
- 27:09Speaker 3: know you think it's funny.
- 27:10Speaker 2: I do think it's pretty funny. And I also spent
- 27:13Speaker 2: some time and I'm looking on the text line right now.
- 27:15Speaker 2: I did spend some time trying to defend Jerry DePoto earlier.
- 27:17Speaker 2: I'm just getting annihilated with that. Well, I'll make, I'll,
- 27:20Speaker 2: I'll avoid those for now. I get it. You guys,
- 27:23Speaker 2: every people want heads to roll.
- 27:24Speaker 5: I understand that, but at the same time, you can
- 27:27Speaker 5: accept certain things that Jerry has done well and not
- 27:30Speaker 5: accept that he's done everything well.
- 27:32Speaker 2: It's okay. I think manager and players, man. One, two. Players, one. Managers, two.
- 27:38Speaker 5: Yeah, and then it goes from there. Jerry didn't go down.
- 27:42Speaker 5: He's not affecting the hitting anymore. He stepped back from it.
- 27:45Speaker 2: It's not his fault that Naylor decided to mail it in.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Cal was awful early, and your pitching's regressed. Bizzardo's... Bizarro
- 27:52Speaker 2: is being overused. Like I, I'm kind of tired of
- 27:54Speaker 2: people killing this guy. He's pitched 70 games.
- 27:57Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 27:57Speaker 3: He's pitched way too much. No wonder he's tired. No
- 27:59Speaker 3: wonder he doesn't have a stuff.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. Uh, just a couple of texts here before
- 28:03Speaker 2: we get to factor fiction. Um, Our buddy Keith Miller,
- 28:06Speaker 2: make sure Ashley keeps a safe amount of distance between John,
- 28:08Speaker 2: the human substation Lund. We don't want her ending up
- 28:11Speaker 2: on IR either. Yeah, exactly. Just be careful.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought I broke my foot last night, but
- 28:15Speaker 3: I didn't.
- 28:15Speaker 2: That would be 100% on Lund. Yeah, that's what I
- 28:17Speaker 2: was going to say.
- 28:18Speaker 3: It would have been his fault.
- 28:19Speaker 2: 206, miss you in the AM, Ashley, says the 206. Well,
- 28:21Speaker 2: you know what? You're here now. That's fine.
- 28:23Speaker 3: Now you're listening in the afternoon, and we're all more
- 28:25Speaker 3: wide awake.
- 28:26Speaker 2: Wide awake. Couldn't be more wide awake right now. I'm
- 28:29Speaker 2: falling asleep as we speak. Let's get to it. Fact
- 28:31Speaker 2: or fiction? We're set to go. Glad you're with us.
- 28:34Speaker 1: It's your shot at our weekly $ 1, 000 and the $ 10, 000
- 28:39Speaker 1: grand prize.
- 28:40Speaker 2: It's Fact or Fiction.
- 28:42Speaker 1: Proudly presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel, where every
- 28:46Speaker 1: day feels lucky.
- 28:48Speaker 2: Fact or Fiction is on. Sports Radio 93.3, KJR FM.
- 28:54Speaker 2: Big thanks to Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel. Every day
- 28:56Speaker 2: feels lucky. They're giving away $ 1, 000 every week. $ 1, 000 every
- 29:02Speaker 2: week to someone who correctly texts either fact or fiction
- 29:07Speaker 2: to 49451 during one of the 20 opportunities.
- 29:08Speaker 4: 735, 1135, 235, 335.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Monday through Friday.
- 29:09Speaker 4: Ours, 235.
- 29:10Speaker 2: If you agree with the pick, you'll text fact to 49451.
- 29:21Speaker 2: Disagree fiction to 49451. Earlier today, Anders took Detroit plus
- 29:25Speaker 2: four and a half at Buffalo. Only 46% of the
- 29:28Speaker 2: people agreed with him.
- 29:29Speaker 3: I'm not surprised by that.
- 29:31Speaker 2: It's a bold pick. And I bet Chuck's already done
- 29:33Speaker 2: with him after that pick. Jessamyn took Philadelphia minus seven
- 29:37Speaker 2: of the Titans. That's actually a great pick.
- 29:40Speaker 4: Yes.
- 29:40Speaker 3: I think they'll win by 55.
- 29:41Speaker 2: That is a great pick. When did she decide to
- 29:45Speaker 2: start making good picks?
- 29:46Speaker 3: When she left your show, I guess.
- 29:48Speaker 2: Apparently now. And Ashley Lola Ryan Medley has her first
- 29:53Speaker 2: pick on the afternoon show. Here it is.
- 29:55Speaker 5: Just trying to make sure nothing changed since I wrote
- 29:56Speaker 5: this down a little while ago.
- 29:57Speaker 8: All right.
- 29:58Speaker 3: We're taking a page out of Anders.
- 30:00Speaker 2: Book in a way.
- 30:00Speaker 4: Okay.
- 30:01Speaker 5: Because we are going to focus on the Detroit Buffalo game.
- 30:04Speaker 3: Now, these two teams each.
- 30:06Speaker 5: Had high-powered offensive games. Not a lot of defense shown
- 30:10Speaker 5: in those games last week. 67 points were what they
- 30:14Speaker 5: combined scored. I think they're going to keep that. I
- 30:17Speaker 5: don't think either of those defenses are all of a
- 30:19Speaker 5: sudden going to be like, no, we're.
- 30:20Speaker 3: Going to stop the other team from scoring.
- 30:22Speaker 2: No, why would they?
- 30:22Speaker 3: I don't think that's going to happen. The over-under, only 53.5.
- 30:24Speaker 3: It's actually pretty low. Give me the over.
- 30:28Speaker 6: Ooh, ooh.
- 30:29Speaker 2: Okay, so Detroit, Buffalo. Detroit and Buffalo over.
- 30:34Speaker 3: 53.5.
- 30:36Speaker 2: If you agree, fact, 49451. If you disagree, fiction, 49451.
- 30:43Speaker 2: I like that one.
- 30:45Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 30:46Speaker 2: I like that one a lot. Yeah, Buffalo scoring. Here's
- 30:49Speaker 2: the thing. Buffalo scored 36 against... Houston. People think maybe
- 30:54Speaker 2: the best defense in the NFL.
- 30:55Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
- 30:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I like... And the.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Lions couldn't stop.
- 31:01Speaker 2: No, they couldn't stop the Saints. I mean, Tyler Shuck
- 31:03Speaker 2: decided to look like a good quarterback in that game.
- 31:05Speaker 2: So 100%, I like that pick. So again, it's Detroit
- 31:10Speaker 2: and Buffalo over 53.5, says Ashley. If you agree, you'll
- 31:14Speaker 2: text FACT to 49451.
- 31:17Speaker 3: Shut up.
- 31:19Speaker 2: If you disagree, it's fiction to 49451. Your chance to
- 31:23Speaker 2: win a $ 1, 000 weekly prize. $ 10, 000 grand prize. You can't
- 31:27Speaker 2: win unless you text. Again, Ashley, Detroit Buffalo, over 53
- 31:31Speaker 2: and a half. Fact, 49451. Fiction if you disagree, 49451.
- 31:33Speaker 2: And by the way, If you don't get a bounce back,
- 31:39Speaker 2: that means that you texted in something like fact with
- 31:42Speaker 2: F-A-X or fiction with F-I-K, something like that.
- 31:47Speaker 5: Usually the only time the bounce backs don't work is
- 31:50Speaker 5: in the mornings. So after that, they're all set and
- 31:52Speaker 5: they work. It's just the morning show. The bounce backs
- 31:55Speaker 5: have some struggles.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Well, now we blame Anders for that.
- 31:58Speaker 3: Well, we did blame Anders for that before, too.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Anders is a good guy to blame for everything.
- 32:03Speaker 5: But now maybe it won't happen because he's on the
- 32:05Speaker 5: morning show.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Softie blames him for stuff in the afternoon show.
- 32:08Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
- 32:08Speaker 3: So I thought we always blamed Dick Fahey for things.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Because Jackson's perfect. Jackson's never made a mistake. Never. So
- 32:12Speaker 2: it has to be his fault. All right, one more time, Ashley.
- 32:14Speaker 2: The pick is?
- 32:15Speaker 5: Buffalo and Detroit over 53.
- 32:18Speaker 3: And a half.
- 32:19Speaker 2: Text INFACT49451 or FICTION49451. Your chance for a $ 1, 000 weekly prize,
- 32:23Speaker 2: $ 10, 000 grand prize. The aforementioned David Mahler, Softie they call him.
- 32:26Speaker 2: He'll join us next. All righty then. Well, we've upgraded
- 32:35Speaker 2: Crosstalk today. There's no doubt about that. We've upgraded Crosstalk.
- 32:38Speaker 2: Who's with us today? Ashley Ryan. Oh, this guy? I
- 32:42Speaker 2: don't know. He's just some weird guy in the street
- 32:44Speaker 2: just dropping food off. He's my old boss. I used
- 32:47Speaker 2: to work at Duke's. Oh, did you? I like Union, yeah.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Ashley used to work at Duke's.
- 32:50Speaker 4: Yeah, back in.
- 32:51Speaker 3: Yeah, Johnny Moss knows me.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Look at that, right behind me.
- 32:56Speaker 8: John Moskrip from Dukes is back.
- 32:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:58Speaker 8: Didn't bring any sourdough bread, though. We've got to reevaluate
- 33:01Speaker 8: this relationship. I wanted to keep it light today. I
- 33:03Speaker 8: don't know what we're doing.
- 33:04Speaker 2: Give you some other options. You've got to mix it
- 33:05Speaker 2: up a little bit. Why don't you go back and
- 33:07Speaker 2: get some bread and come back on the airwaves? Did
- 33:08Speaker 2: you see? Whatever it takes. Did you see? I didn't
- 33:12Speaker 2: get a witness at first hand because I was on
- 33:14Speaker 2: the air, but the feeding frenzy, it's like putting chum
- 33:17Speaker 2: in the water with a shark. Our sales staff, you
- 33:20Speaker 2: guys put food out there. By the time I got
- 33:23Speaker 2: out there. Like, I just, I'd like a little bit
- 33:25Speaker 2: of chowder because I love the chowder.
- 33:26Speaker 4: Gone. Gone.
- 33:27Speaker 2: What happened, Dave? What the hell?
- 33:28Speaker 4: Marshall.
- 33:29Speaker 2: Marshall Burgess, our fearless leader. Grabbed. Who isn't at all.
- 33:32Speaker 2: Took it all. Wait, what's his name? Is it Burgess?
- 33:33Speaker 2: Is that his name?
- 33:34Speaker 8: Morgan. Morgan?
- 33:35Speaker 2: Marshall Morgan?
- 33:36Speaker 4: It's Morgan.
- 33:36Speaker 2: No, it's definitely Burgess. It's Burgess. I thought his first
- 33:38Speaker 2: name was Morgan. No.
- 33:39Speaker 3: No, it's Marshall.
- 33:40Speaker 4: Okay.
- 33:41Speaker 3: It's Marshall.
- 33:42Speaker 2: You know what? It might be Bob, by the way.
- 33:44Speaker 2: I'm not totally sure. I played a whole round of
- 33:45Speaker 2: golf with him at the Suquamish Casino event. I called
- 33:48Speaker 2: him Morgan the whole time. His name is definitely Marshall,
- 33:50Speaker 2: by the way. That much I do know. Does anybody
- 33:51Speaker 2: at Duke's call you Peter, by the way, on accident?
- 33:54Speaker 2: Fortunately not.
- 33:55Speaker 8: You think everybody who works for Duke's knows who you are?
- 33:58Speaker 8: Like some new guy, some new schmuck gets hired, comes
- 34:01Speaker 8: in on the weekend, you walk in.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Who the hell's that dude?
- 34:03Speaker 4: Right?
- 34:04Speaker 2: For sure.
- 34:04Speaker 7: We've got 400, 450 team members, and I'm sure there's
- 34:08Speaker 7: a few. Actually, kind of a funny story.
- 34:10Speaker 2: My dad, Duke.
- 34:11Speaker 7: He called for a reservation at our Lake Union location
- 34:14Speaker 7: about two weeks ago, and the hostess thought it was
- 34:17Speaker 7: a joke.
- 34:19Speaker 2: She hung up on him, I think, three times. That's hilarious.
- 34:22Speaker 2: He thought it was funny because we don't take ourselves
- 34:25Speaker 2: too seriously. That's actually awesome.
- 34:28Speaker 8: I never heard that one before. What if he caught
- 34:30Speaker 8: up and said, I'm John Howey? Can I get a
- 34:31Speaker 8: tape of him?
- 34:32Speaker 2: VIP. VIP for John. John's at the front of the list.
- 34:37Speaker 2: I told you this in the break. I'll say it
- 34:38Speaker 2: again on the air since you're here. We went as
- 34:41Speaker 2: a family, my birthday back in June in the Bellevue
- 34:45Speaker 2: Square location, or Lincoln Square, is that what it's called now? Yeah,
- 34:47Speaker 2: Lincoln Square South. That's 74 years old now, by the way,
- 34:50Speaker 2: this guy. We went there, and the whole group of us,
- 34:54Speaker 2: it was seven of us or something like that, and fantastic.
- 34:57Speaker 2: And I think most importantly, this is for me who
- 35:00Speaker 2: worked in restaurants, service was great. Like, honestly, I just
- 35:03Speaker 2: want good service. Like, you go in there and you
- 35:06Speaker 2: want good service. I worked in the restaurant industry mostly
- 35:08Speaker 2: behind the– Dave was in front of the wall. I
- 35:11Speaker 2: was back– I was in the kitchen. I did both. Yeah.
- 35:13Speaker 2: I did both, yeah. But great service. And more importantly,
- 35:16Speaker 2: all joking aside, my daughter's got celiac. That's a real deal.
- 35:19Speaker 2: And it's hard to find a place that says it's
- 35:22Speaker 2: gluten-free and it actually is clean. And you guys do
- 35:26Speaker 2: that better than anybody. So well done. Thank you.
- 35:28Speaker 7: And our chowder, our award-winning clam chowder, which is our
- 35:31Speaker 7: signature item.
- 35:31Speaker 2: Yep. Gluten-free.
- 35:33Speaker 7: Yeah, there you go. All of our chowders, actually. About 80%, 90%
- 35:37Speaker 7: of the menu, we can do gluten-free. Some of the
- 35:39Speaker 7: fryer stuff and the fish and chips and things.
- 35:41Speaker 2: We keep trying, though.
- 35:42Speaker 7: We're constantly innovating and trying to get it 100% gluten-free
- 35:45Speaker 7: because it's got a taste.
- 35:46Speaker 2: And more and more people have been diagnosed with it.
- 35:49Speaker 2: That's the thing. It's like people, oh, you just want
- 35:51Speaker 2: to be gluten-free because you want to be it, like
- 35:53Speaker 2: Socky's wife or something. But no, the celiac's a real deal,
- 35:56Speaker 2: but we just didn't diagnose it for so long. So
- 35:58Speaker 2: to go to have a place, say, hey, I want
- 36:00Speaker 2: to go to a nice restaurant. And it works.
- 36:01Speaker 8: I got to tell you, this conversation took a way
- 36:03Speaker 8: serious turn, to be honest with you.
- 36:05Speaker 2: I'm busting his balls about no sourdough bread.
- 36:07Speaker 8: He's talking about his dad getting turned down for a reservation,
- 36:10Speaker 8: and here we are, man.
- 36:11Speaker 2: What the hell's going on? Hey, you know what? Give
- 36:13Speaker 2: the guy a shout-out, man.
- 36:14Speaker 3: Holy moly.
- 36:14Speaker 2: Give the guy a shout-out. Well, I'll say the biggest
- 36:16Speaker 2: compliment today, defeating Frenzy... Yes. People still like our food.
- 36:19Speaker 2: That's nice.
- 36:20Speaker 8: And we do have people that bring food in here,
- 36:23Speaker 8: and it just sits there all day. I mean, he'll
- 36:25Speaker 8: tell you that, right? I don't want that. Just let
- 36:27Speaker 8: that be, whatever. And then all the vultures like us
- 36:30Speaker 8: at 7 o'clock at night when there's nobody here and
- 36:32Speaker 8: there's nothing to eat, maybe we'll be starving enough to
- 36:34Speaker 8: grab it.
- 36:35Speaker 2: But tell people what you brought in today, by the way.
- 36:37Speaker 7: I brought some of our lunch specials. We're doing these
- 36:40Speaker 7: combo lunch specials, about $ 23 for each. It's like a
- 36:45Speaker 7: half sandwich. We've got a hot honey salmon.
- 36:47Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
- 36:47Speaker 7: A prawn po' boy and a Dijon fried chicken sandwich
- 36:52Speaker 7: as well. Those are our three lunch specials now. A
- 36:54Speaker 7: little mini salad, a little bit of dinghy and chowder,
- 36:57Speaker 7: just enough food, right price, right time for lunch.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 37:00Speaker 8: And by the way, we did confirm, just because I
- 37:02Speaker 8: wanted to be 100% sure. Oh, yeah, you're known for
- 37:05Speaker 8: your accuracy. His name is Marshall, the guy that runs
- 37:08Speaker 8: this place. And he did eat all the chowder. So
- 37:11Speaker 8: we got none of it.
- 37:12Speaker 4: Right?
- 37:12Speaker 8: So we're going to maybe get a little bump in
- 37:13Speaker 8: our next paycheck. But I mean, the lunch specials are
- 37:16Speaker 8: awesome because of the size. They're like pocket size.
- 37:19Speaker 2: They're perfect.
- 37:19Speaker 8: You don't want to get too stuffed for dinner, had
- 37:21Speaker 8: a big breakfast, whatever. But, you know, John's got some
- 37:24Speaker 8: of the best decks in Puget Sound. My favorite place
- 37:27Speaker 8: to go is Rusted. I love that location. You were
- 37:30Speaker 8: saying off the air, that's one of your best performing decks.
- 37:32Speaker 2: Is that right? Yeah, great.
- 37:33Speaker 7: That's one of our top performers and just such a
- 37:37Speaker 7: great spot.
- 37:37Speaker 2: It's People ask me all the time, are you on
- 37:39Speaker 2: the water? I'm like, no, no, we are in the water.
- 37:41Speaker 2: We're on the piers. Literally, literally in the water.
- 37:44Speaker 8: And he also told me off there, if you go
- 37:45Speaker 8: to the Ruston location or the Tukwila location between now
- 37:49Speaker 8: and five o'clock and mention your name, Ian, you're going
- 37:52Speaker 8: to free bottle of Macallan, by the way, with you.
- 37:53Speaker 2: Oh, really? Look, I guess I'm going to Dukes. A
- 37:57Speaker 2: 25-year one, by the way. We're heading south.
- 37:59Speaker 5: I'm skipping wine committee and going to Dukes.
- 38:01Speaker 8: Well, I mean, you got stores everywhere. I mean, you know, obviously,
- 38:04Speaker 8: Bellevue's our old stomping grounds. There's no doubt about that.
- 38:07Speaker 8: Green Lake, right? Tuck Willis, South Center, the Ruston location, man.
- 38:11Speaker 8: Green Lake, if you're going to go to one spot,
- 38:14Speaker 8: I've always wanted to ask you this. If we're going
- 38:16Speaker 8: to see John and Duke Mossgrip at one Duke's, like
- 38:18Speaker 8: let's say your last name was Blumenfall. It wasn't Mossgrip.
- 38:22Speaker 8: Your dad's not Duke, right? You're in the dry cleaning business,
- 38:25Speaker 8: and you want to go to a Duke's. Which one
- 38:27Speaker 8: are you going to? Which one do I find you at?
- 38:29Speaker 7: It just depends on the day, but today I'm probably
- 38:32Speaker 7: going to Tacoma.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Okay.
- 38:33Speaker 4: Okay.
- 38:34Speaker 2: I was there this morning, too. I want to get
- 38:35Speaker 2: back there, especially to get the McCown. Yeah, apparently so.
- 38:39Speaker 2: The easy answer is wherever Softie's not at. That's the
- 38:41Speaker 2: place you go. See, that's the right answer. That's the
- 38:43Speaker 2: place you go. Are you sure it's Marshall? It's 100% Marshall. 100% Marshall.
- 38:47Speaker 3: Definitely Marshall.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Now you feel weird, right?
- 38:50Speaker 4: 18 holes.
- 38:50Speaker 2: See, this is what happens when you get old, man.
- 38:52Speaker 8: You forget your boss's name and all that. Next, you'll
- 38:55Speaker 8: be forgetting your wife's name, by the way. Well, he
- 38:57Speaker 8: kept calling me Fane. What am I supposed to do?
- 39:00Speaker 2: Are you going to be in trouble?
- 39:02Speaker 8: I'm always in trouble. John, I wake up in trouble.
- 39:05Speaker 8: It's only a matter of how much I can make
- 39:06Speaker 8: up for it throughout the day. What's coming up this
- 39:09Speaker 8: fall at Duke's, by the way?
- 39:12Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, we are turning 50 years old in February.
- 39:15Speaker 7: We're going to start some promotional communication at the end
- 39:19Speaker 7: of this year and.
- 39:21Speaker 2: Have some fun with it next year.
- 39:22Speaker 7: A couple parties and bring back the old, maybe roll
- 39:26Speaker 7: back the price some of those things.
- 39:27Speaker 4: Awesome.
- 39:28Speaker 2: We're going to have some fun with it. Awesome. We're
- 39:30Speaker 2: calling it 50 Years Young.
- 39:31Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
- 39:32Speaker 7: Just because you don't want to have been around for
- 39:36Speaker 7: 50 years.
