  Speaker 2: Bucky Jacobson. Today we've made it through the week without
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the presence of the ginger bearded one Bucky Jacobson. And
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: yet we've got a lot of things to recap from
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: this week without Bucky Jacobson.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And there are some big.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Stories going on right now, some huge stories locally, nationally,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: even globally. But in my world, as father Draftmas, there's
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: only one top story this week.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: It's Draft Miss time.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: The clock is taking Draft Moss is almost Team it's yeah,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: the combine visits and pro dates in the rear view
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: mirror with Snyder.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Bucks the spell them and to build a team to
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: dominate it in the fall. It's beginning to look a
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: lot like Draft Moss.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: All the prospects are placed on the big board with
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: care the room.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Miss Bollas Johnny Cars will soon be there with the
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: green roof full of prospects and the twelves in their
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: swag hoping Johnny claspools Shanny Saws out of his draft musa.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Ah, we have almost an entire album now. We had
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: a song, it seems every year to our draft, Miss Holiday.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I think that was performed by a new artist called Ai.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Ai written though by a listener. It was actually written
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: by a listener. He just had Ai performance, Is.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: That what it was? So he wrote the whole song?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Or do you I don't know how this works, or
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: do you enter the information that you want to be
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: covered in this song and then in Ai place.
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: I think you could do either.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: But he said he actually wrote the song very nice.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: He just had Ai performance and he did two versions.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: We have a slower, more traditional one.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Too well to slow dance too. Yeah, I know that
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: the hype and the hooplah that goes with Draft miss
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: and all the hubbub. Well, sometimes you just want to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: slow dance to draft Miss.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Sometimes you do, right, I was thinking more it was
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: like the traditional one could be like when you're sitting
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: by the fire and drinking your nog uh huh. And
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: then the upbeat one is when you're like feeling pizzazzi.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Most of the time you're feeling pizzazzi.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but even in the midst of war room discussions,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: John and Mike just sometimes you gotta shut off the
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: tape and just slow dance.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: I hear you.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: To a nice Draft Miss song.
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: To a nice Draft Miss Carol and I.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Don't know which puts his head on the other's shoulder.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go ahead and name that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: That'd be wrong.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: They alternate.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I think I think there's a lot
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: of time for that sort of affection. So yes, the
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Draft Miss got started on Wednesday. It is our month
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: long celebration of the NFL Draft slash countdown to the
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: NFL Draft, which is coming up on April twenty third.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks won't be on the clock until pick number
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: thirty two. You want to know why, because they're world champions,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: that's right, and champions have to finish or see me
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: pick last in the NFL draft, And so at number
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: thirty there really isn't much expectation. It feels like that
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks will remain at thirty two. John Schneider as
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: a reputation for accumulating picks on draft weekend, and he's
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: starting with a scant four. It feels like he'll end
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: up with his traditional seven to eight draft picks by
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the end of the process. But then again, a lot
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: of talk. Greg Bells reminded us that John doesn't really
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: like this draft, and almost everybody's telling us it's a
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: week draft by comparison to past drafts and the talent
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: that they've produced. And so what will John do? Will
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: he go ahead and stick and pick at number thirty two?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think he will, and neither does our guest
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: from earlier this week. Eric Edholme of NFL dot Com
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: wrote an article earlier this week five trades that he's expecting,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: including one involving the Seahawks where they drop out of
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the thirty second pick with the Pittsburgh Steelers to add
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: all whole boatload of draft.
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: Capital, four picks one after the top hundred. You know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: limited resources. Do they have a ton of needs and
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: a ton of spots they're itching at Phil Probably not,
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: But you know, I think given the way that they've
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: used those Day three picks in the recent past and
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: going back even farther, that's been a very important spot
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: for the Seahawks and John Schneider that it's an area
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: where they do a lot of good work. So I
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: would be surprised that they didn't end up with more
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: than one Day three selection. I think trading out of
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: thirty two makes a lot of sense.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Eric at Holme, if you want to hear the entire
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: conversations on our podcast ninety three to three KJR dot com,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: we get into a couple of the different articles that
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: he wrote, including he's got a first two rounds or
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: first two picks of every team in the National Football League,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and he not only has the Hawks taken Avion Terrell,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: the cornerback out of Clemson at thirty two, he has
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: and Darien Price, who some people are putting on the
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Seahawks at thirty two. He has him falling all the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: way to sixty four, and the Seahawks getting him at
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the end of the second round. So two articles from
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Ed Holme this week, both involving the Seahawks if you
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: are interested in checking them out or listening to his
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: interview with us on our podcast. Let's go back, though,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: to the pick at number thirty two, because I don't
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: think this is just about John needing needing to have
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of picks. I mean, another aspect of this
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: is do you feel there's anyone worth taking at thirty two.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Tony softly used to teach me all sorts of things
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: about the board that teams put together, and you don't
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: have thirty two players that you value as first rounders.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: You pretty much have a list of every team as
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: probably thirteen thirteen to fifteen, thirteen to eighteen guys that
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: they would take at number thirty two, and some teams
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: just have shorter lists. So that might be a situation
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: where John and Mike just don't see anybody worth a
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: first round selection, first round money, and if there's somebody
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: that wants to trade up with them, that could be
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: another incentive for moving down. That's my expectation, but who knows.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: If you get one of your thirteen guys that you
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: have on your board that has fallen to you, then
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you stick and pick, simple as that.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Well, and they do always seem to have kind of
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: a different board, right, They've got a pick that maybe
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: other people have valued a lot lower and that everybody does, Yeah,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: everybody does, and that they're they're looking at as a
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: steal to get with thirty two.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: So there's always that possibility.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't put it past them, but I would be
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: more surprised if they actually made the pick for sure.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: NFL Draft starts on April twenty third. We are less
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: than three weeks away from the first selection. The Las
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Vegas Raiders are on the clock and as of now,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Seahawks scheduled to pick on date number one of the draft.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Let's move on item number three on our eight item,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: show the crack and they were a blasted toward elimination
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: last night by the Utah mammoth tail.
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: Serga chev sends it into the far side. Now Jersey
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: Takuley first shot.
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: Knocked down, Gunter got the rebound, Buddy hit.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: The cord, the puck went in. They're gonna wave it off.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: That will be goaltender interference.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: After coaches challenge, it was determined that and there was
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: no goaltender interference.
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: This is the goal, all right, so they'll count the
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: goal and the Utah mammth now the five to two lead,
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: and that what's the remaining playoff hopes for the krackt
• 8:38
  Speaker 9: in dangerous jeopardy with this goal and this game now
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: down five to two and not getting any help in
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: the standings here tonight.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: How you want your national play by play guy to
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: be impartial? You don't want to ever feel like they're
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: rooting for the other team Joe Davis Dodgers, but your
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: local guy. Not only do you want him to be
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: good or her to be good at describing the action,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: you want to feel like they are going through the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: same emotional realizations that you're going through. And I think
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Everett is great at it. I think that that captured
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the moment. I remember the famous when I grew up
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: in Saint Louis, the famous Jack Buckhall go crazy, folks
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: go crazy because the place was going crazy. The Kirk Gibson,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I don't believe what I just saw. That home run
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: was him capturing the moment. That's what everybody was thinking
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: at the time, and that was from a national perspective,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: but that's how we were all feeling at that moment,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: those of us that are Cracking fans and are feeling
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: this playoff Berth slipped right through their fingers. Yeah.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: I was actually in the booth when the goal got
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: When we had the goal and then they called ours
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: back for goalie interference, and so it was like, oh, here.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: We go, it's a goal. Yeah, oh that's gonna.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Get So then to have it where we all think, oh,
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: that goal is going to get called back for goalie
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: interference and then it doesn't, it was like extra deflating.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: It was like someone took a voodoo doll and just
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: was stabbing it with lots of needles.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Ah boy, I would have checked every Utah Mammoth fans pockets.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: Well, I should have.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: You know, they are slippery, those those utes. The call
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: right here on your flagship sports radio ninety three point
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: three KJRFM.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: It was painful.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Jordan Eberley scored within the first minute of the game
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: for the Crack and Bobby McMahon scored another goal. I
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: think he scored a goal every single night he's worn
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: a Kracking sweater. But despite the early two nothing lead,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Kracking couldn't hold.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: It, and they lost it spectacularly.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Twenty one year old star Logan Cooley scored the next
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: two goals of the game, sparking a run of six
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: unanswered goals for the Mammoth six, and that was pretty
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: much all she wrote. Utah six Seattle to the losses
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the seventh and eight games for a Cracking team that
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: has been long on the playoff.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Bubble and maybe not anymore.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Cracking are four points back of a playoff spot, but
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: four points back of three different teams for the eighth
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: and final playoff spot, and Winnipeg has jumped them here
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: in the last couple of days. So they got four
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: teams between them and the last playoff spot and they're
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: four points back of three different teams. To have all
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: of them collapse the way they're gonna need to and
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: for the Krack and not only to win, but to
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: pull themselves out of this quagmire of losing and then
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: get on the necessary streak.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Ashley, it just feels like it's done.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it feels like it would take a miracle.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: And we have seen them go on losing streaks and
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: winning streaks, true, and I mean and we you know,
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: I was trying to find the positive and that they
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: got a couple points here and there over the last
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: few games.
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: But you need more than a couple points.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: They would have to have basically one of their best
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: winning streaks ever and just shut everybody down.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: And I just don't know that this team has it
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: in them.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well they do.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I think maybe getting the winning streak might be the
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: achievable aspect of it. But when you have to pair
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: it with everybody else, not just one team, but everybody
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: else crumbling down the stretch while you're winning everything down
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: the stretch, it looks very very bleak for the Krakens
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: playoff chances at this point.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: But hey, you got to start with one game at
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a time.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: They'll play the Chicago Blackhawks tomorrow at seven o'clock Climate Pledgerina,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: and you can hear the action on Sports Radio ninety
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: three point three KJRFM.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: It is tomorrow, right, yeh Saturday, right, yeah?
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, all right, next up on the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: O Show.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Also tomorrow, the Final Four will be held and you
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: can hear that on nine point fifty am here on
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: the KJR family of radio stations. It will start with
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Illinois versus Yukon at three o'clock. Everybody's rooting for Illinois, right,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you're not from Connecticut, you don't want
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Yukon to win, I'm sure, So go grab yourself something orange, yep,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: put it on, you know, for Chuck's home state. And
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: let's see if we can't shut Dan Hurley up a
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: little bit. As for Hurley himself, of course he's talking.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: He's talking about Zoom winning a championship right now.
• 13:26
  Speaker 10: We came here for rings, not watches. You know, everyone
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: that comes in front of four gets a beautiful watch,
• 13:31
  Speaker 10: you know, but only one. Only one group's going to
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: get a ring, you know. So get off social media,
• 13:36
  Speaker 10: stop injecting the dopamine into your arm, and get serious
• 13:41
  Speaker 10: about the preparation and the practice. Because we don't hang
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: banners for final fours at Yukon. We hang national championship banners.
• 13:48
  Speaker 10: And if you want to hang a banner, you got
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: to get your eyes off social media. You get your
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: face out of the phone and get locked in on
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: Illinois because you know, Illinois is one of the best
• 13:57
  Speaker 10: teams in the country and there as big a threat
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: to winning this torn as any of the four teams.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: He's mostly unlikable, but there is no denying how good
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: a coach he is, and he's the one with championship
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: pedigree left in this tournament, and certainly as a guy
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: that still does root for Illinois. Brad Underwood has not
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: performed great in these matchups with big time coaches, but
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: he did knock off Kelvin Sampson a couple of games ago,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: and his team is playing really good basketball right now,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: and I do believe Ashley he will have the support
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: of the entire free world.
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I think everybody outside of Connecticut is just
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: wearing as much orange, thinking orange thoughts, and sending all
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: their positive orange vibes Illinois's way.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Michigan versus Arizona in Game number two, they're calling it
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: one of the great basketball matchups of all time in
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament, Illinois is favored by two and a half,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: which surprises me. Michigan is favored by two. Could we
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: get an all Big ten matchup in the national title
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: game on Monday night? We shall see Quincy pondexter is
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: gonna join us at nine. Of course, former udub Husky,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: current UTUB Husky coach and somebody who has had the
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: team with Danny Sprinkle to game plan for both these
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Big ten teams. So we'll get his thoughts on the
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: final four, and we'll get his thoughts on how far
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: away he thinks the Huskies are from being in this
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: moment as well. So we'll do that today at nine o'clock,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Mariners are in Anaheim to take on the Angels. And yeah,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if we worry about Mike
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Trout as much as we once did as Mariner fans, but.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: We still gotta worry about the supernatural.
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: We got an angel, but the game has society.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: She would not Clark.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Impossible, she was there.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: I mean, Mel should start the game today.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Mel's arm is gone.
• 15:51
  Speaker 10: I don't care.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: He should start the game.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: No way.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Besides, he's not even on Nappy Rusk.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: If the Angel preaches with him, he'll be awesome.
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: We're in trouble.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: We're in trouble. But I don't believe you, kid. I
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: want Tony Danza to start against us tonight.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: I actually would like that. That'd be great.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, give him the ball, give them the ball. I
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: don't think angels are what they used to be.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: I think, well, I think Angels are what they used
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: to be.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: But Tony Danza ain't well well, so I don't think
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: any Angel is going to help him.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Let's try it.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Tonight, Mark's the return of JP Crawford to the lineup,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: coming off a shoulder injury. He will start at shortstop tonight.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: To make room for JP, They've sent Ryan Bliss down
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: to Tacoma. It puts Leo Revos back in the role
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: that they originally had planned for Leo, and that is
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: a utility infield role. The Mariners off to a three
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: and four start, patiently awaiting their big three to start hitting. Raleigh, Rodriguez,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: and Naylor are a combined seven for seventy eight through
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: seven games this year, and none of them have hit
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: a home run. Brian will gets the start for the Mariners.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Left hander Reed Detmers will pitch for the Angels. First
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: pitch is at six thirty eight. But it really is
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: about the return of JP Crawford. And I won't get
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: into another long speech about JP, like detailed a little
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: bit earlier in the show, but I'll just say this,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: I'm rooting for JP. I want JP to hold on
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: to this job, remain our shortstop. I want us to
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: win the World Series and JP Crawford catches a pop
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: up to close the season and then the celebration begins.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I would like nothing more than that scenario to unfold.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: That said, cold Emerson's on the come, and JP Crawford's
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: got to be more than just somebody that can field
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: routine ground balls.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: He needs to be better than that. I need JP
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to be the good version of JP Crawford for most
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: of the rest of the season. Otherwise I'm taking him
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: out of the lineup.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: Absolutely. Yeah, we got to see more.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, six thirty eight, First pitch tonight in Anaheim. Meanwhile,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: speaking of Colt Emerson, Jerry Depoto was on the radio
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: station last night with David Softy Maler and Nick Fain
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: and was talking about the decision earlier this week to
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: sign a prospect who's not faced one major league pitcher
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: in a major league game to an eight year, ninety
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: five million dollars deal.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Here's Jerry.
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: Well, first, I would say, you know, our collective beliefs
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: is that he's just a tremendous player, and we've seen
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: with each step that he's doing things at very young
• 18:28
  Speaker 11: ages versus advanced competition that stand out, and he does
• 18:33
  Speaker 11: a little bit of everything. You know, There's there's nothing
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: that blows you away when you first look at Colt,
• 18:39
  Speaker 11: you know, and then you sit there and you watch
• 18:40
  Speaker 11: a week's worth of games, and you walk away thinking,
• 18:43
  Speaker 11: this guy is a really good hitter. He is a
• 18:46
  Speaker 11: he's got burgeon in power. He plays really good defense,
• 18:50
  Speaker 11: and you say, really good, so much, and then you
• 18:53
  Speaker 11: recognize that he's only twenty years old, and you know
• 18:56
  Speaker 11: it's really good at twenty has a chance to turn
• 18:59
  Speaker 11: into something better than really good by the time we
• 19:03
  Speaker 11: get into what should be the most impactful ages of
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: his career, which we now know will likely be set
• 19:10
  Speaker 11: with the Seattle marriage, which is exciting.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Entire conversation available to you on soft Indix podcast ninety
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: three to three kjar dot com. A lot of interesting
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: stuff from the President Jerry Depoto about Colt Emerson and
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: many other subjects as well. I realize a lot of
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: people are a little bothered by this deal. He hasn't
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: proven anything. He's had no opportunity to prove anything at
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: the major league level.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: We've talked about it all week long.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I'll just hammer the point home that I've been making,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I actually think it's a steal. And I realized that
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Evan White blew up in their face, and I realized
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: that they also thought about doing this with Jared Kalnick,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: and that would have blown up in their face. But
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I also believe that the organization, John Stanton's ownership, the
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: front office, has figured out a few things about themselves
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: over the years, and I think they've matured as a group,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: and I don't see this as the same potential mistake
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: as those ended up being or potentially being. So I
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: like this, and based on the way salaries are going
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: through the roof and the sport right now, I think
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: this will.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: End up looking like a steal for the Mariners. Really do.
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: Absolutely. I'm excited for it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, as I have mentioned, I can understand the
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: immediate hesitation or immediate thought to the Evan White situation,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: but totally different situation, and I'm excited.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: The number one prospect and all of Major League Baseball
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: is a nineteen year old phenom named Connor Griffin, and
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: he is making his big League debut tonight for the
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Pirates and their home opener for twenty twenty six
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: against the Baltimore Orioles. It's not tonight, it's today at
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I think one o'clock. So that's a big story in baseball.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: As Connor Griffin, who a lot of people are comparing
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: to Alex Rodriguez shortstop for the Pirates, is getting ready
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: to make his debut.
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: I don't number just let's do yeah, Yeah, I.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Think it is. Yeah, I think you can count on that.
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: That's all week, you can ask yep.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: And then item number seven, Sounders in action tomorrow against
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: the Houston Dynamo. Sounders fans jamming out to that song
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: with your scarves on and your craft beers in your hands,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: and your I love Jackson Feldts t shirts that you're

• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR FM. More on
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: the Mariners coming up next. If you didn't hear Angie
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Mensink's explanation as to why our big three are in
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: a slump, then maybe you'd be interested. We're going to
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: replay some of that next for you. On Sports Radio
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: ninety three point three kJ r F.
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: M Ashley Arden brought some sweets in what she brings.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's cookies in there, those macaroons in there, are cupcakes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: little mini cupcakes.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what's the reasoning.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I Easter.
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: I think, oh some Easter treat. Yeah, I can't say.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Knuck up on me a little bit.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: It did on me as well because I had only
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: been saving April twelfth in my head because that's Master Sunday, and.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: I was like, oh, April fifth, there's something going on too.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: I was unaware something of significance.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I just I don't eat sugar as much anymore.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: And believe me, I've spent an entire I've built an
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: entire empire on eating sugar.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: But I don't eat it as much anymore.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: And to start my day with it is something I
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: never do. I don't even like I don't even like
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: French toast. Oh, okay, pancakes or waffles because it's too
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: sweet of a way for me to start. So for
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: me to have just grabbed a little miniature cupcake, I
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: can already I'm already feeling like a little oh, just
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: from the sugar, just like my body needs like susta,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: and I just started it off. I just kickstarted it
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: with a big sugar bomb, and it's already like, uh,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: don't do that again.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I can eat something sweet like at brunch because
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: then it's like eleven or twelve.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: But yeah, start off in the morning.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Afternoon coffee was something sweet. Now that's yeah, sign.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: Me up for that. You don't like cough, I don't
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: like coffee, but I like the seat part.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Well, our Mariners are off to a lackluster start three
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: and four, but seven games into one hundred and sixty
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: two game marathon, no one should be worried.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Nobody should be panicking.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: After all three and four against some of the top
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: pitching that the American League's going to fource hour away
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: this season has nothing to be embarrassed about, especially when
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: you consider that our big three aren't contributing anything really
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: to the offensive production. Josh Naylor and Cal Raley and
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Julio Rodriguez are a combined seven for seventy eight so
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: far this season and have not hit a home run.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: None of them don't love that.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's terrible.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: We know they're going to hit eventually, there's no question
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: about it, but we do did want to try to
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: get to the bottom of why they're not hitting so
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: far this season. And I asked Angie Mentink that very
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: question yesterday.
• 24:18
  Speaker 12: You know, I don't want to, you know, point and
• 24:22
  Speaker 12: just go look at the WBC. But I think that
• 24:27
  Speaker 12: baseball is a game that you have to do a
• 24:29
  Speaker 12: little a lot. You can't do a lot a little.
• 24:32
  Speaker 12: You know, you've heard about like cal Rawly trying to
• 24:35
  Speaker 12: cram for the test at the end there and try
• 24:37
  Speaker 12: to get as many at baths as you can. It's
• 24:40
  Speaker 12: based only in a game like that, like and and
• 24:43
  Speaker 12: it's not even at baths. I know everybody keeps talking about,
• 24:46
  Speaker 12: you know how he didn't get as many at baths.
• 24:49
  Speaker 12: I think it's it's it's the grind that's necessary behind
• 24:53
  Speaker 12: the scenes. And I also think, like I can point
• 24:58
  Speaker 12: to the value of Bobby and I be honest, and
• 25:00
  Speaker 12: Kevin Sitzer, the hitting coaches, because those guys know these guys'
• 25:05
  Speaker 12: swings in and out, and they can make like a
• 25:08
  Speaker 12: little tiny adjustment as far as like you know where
• 25:10
  Speaker 12: their hands are, where their bad angle is. That their
• 25:13
  Speaker 12: their launch points, and I don't think they've had that.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 25:17
  Speaker 12: It's it's like these guys go into spring training and
• 25:20
  Speaker 12: going back to Brendon Donovan's I mean that guy was
• 25:23
  Speaker 12: like living in the cage for four hours a day
• 25:26
  Speaker 12: and they didn't have that of spring training. They didn't
• 25:31
  Speaker 12: have their normal facilities to be able to, you know,
• 25:35
  Speaker 12: put in one hour one day and for the next
• 25:37
  Speaker 12: and then three you know, the following day, and a
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: guy that knows their swing frame by frame to say, hey,
• 25:45
  Speaker 12: I'm seeing this. Try putting your hands here, Try putting
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: this here. Hey, I feel like you're coming. Your wais coming,
• 25:53
  Speaker 12: you know, just a little before look at your head
• 25:55
  Speaker 12: here and look at this. I don't think that's happened.
• 25:58
  Speaker 12: I don't think I think that is what has been missing.
• 26:02
  Speaker 12: It's not necessarily just the number of a bats and
• 26:05
  Speaker 12: you know that want neither desired a cramp for the
• 26:07
  Speaker 12: test and try to get in as many at bats.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: It's the work, yeah, that was missing because of the
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: WBC and you ben sync with us. I know what
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of people think when they hear that. And
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I don't mean just you know baseball fans, which I'll
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: get to in a moment. But I know that sounds
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: like a big excuse. Oh come on, they were getting reps,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: they were working on the cage. I'm not going to
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: use that as an excuse. It sounds very excusey.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: But there are excuses and then there are reasons.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: And I think even a baseball player, I think even
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: a Bucky kind of might roll his eyes at that
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: of of.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on, you know they're just in slums.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: There's no big deal. Happens all the time. WBC didn't
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: have anything to do with that.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: No big deal.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I think there's merit to it. I think what she's saying,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: I think there's merit to it. I think these guys
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: are so finely tuned in their regimen. I mean they're
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: talking about like how hitting's harder than ever, right, and
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: everybody throws a hundred, and everybody's got a wicked slider
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: and everything else. So if you don't have the same routine,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: and you're not doing the same repetition, and you don't
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: have the same voice in your ear that knows exactly
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: your swing and how to preserve it, I mean, look,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: I think there's a good chance that it's just hogwash
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: and it's overreaction, even from Angie Chuck and whoever else
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: might be blaming the WBC for the woes of our
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Big three. That said, every single one of the guys
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: in the WBC is struggling, every single one of them. Okay,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: let me take that back, almost every one of them.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: I won't speak in absolutely Well.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: You said earlier Big four Grandy was in the WBC.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: That's right, And I went through earlier this week all
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: the entire US lineup, Bryce Terrang is the only one
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: hitting over two hundred I think, or he was then
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: it might have changed a little bit.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, they didn't play many baseball games last night,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: but something something.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I don't think that that can be just all coincidence
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: that the best hitters in America went to the WBC,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: didn't perform all that well, and then when they got
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: back to their clubs are all off to slow starts
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: to start the season, and I think they'll all pick
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: it up. I'm not worried about any of our guys.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not worried about Gunner Henderson or Byron Buxton or
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Aaron Judge. But they're all off to slow starts, every
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: single one of them, and that's just off the Team
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: USA squad.
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: So I think there's got to be something to that.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think that that big of a coincidence could
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: be occurring, and right once they get more settled in
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: and they refine their swings and probably just need one
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: of those Okay, that was it kind of moments which
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: could happen at any time with guys that take as
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: many swings that these Major League Baseball players have over
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: their career.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I think it'll kick in. I think it could kick
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: in this weekend. I think it could kick in for all.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I know it's going to kick in for every single
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Team USA player before the season comes to a close.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: They're just too good. But why would all of them
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: get off to slow starts? I mean, the only variable
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: that ties them all together is that they were all
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: playing in the WBC. So I do think there's something
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: to it. Whether it's word for word what Angie described,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know whether I can come up with the
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: reason for it.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think I.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Can, But that's the one tie that binds them all
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: together is our best hitters in the game are off
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: to slow starts, and they all played in the WBC.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, and I mean we've talked about it,
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: that it took them away from spring training. We talked
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: about that before Angie came on, that it took them
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: away from spring training and the routine that they all
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: get into for each spring training. I mean, they have
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: I think a lot of people underestimate a baseball player's
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: routine and don't think it's that big of a deal,
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: and maybe we make too big of a deal out
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: of it, but it is.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I think they themselves make too big of a deal.
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, probably, Yeah, but there is something to be said
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: for whatever routine they each player, their individual routine, their
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: individual lead up to the season, and this definitely threw
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: it off. So whether or not that's the reason and
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: that impacted it, it's possible. Yeah, I mean, and I
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: think it's just as valid of a reason as anything
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: else could be.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I've had numerous times where Bucky has
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: sort of rolled his eyes at you know, some of
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: my beliefs that when a pitcher gets thrown off of
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: his game, Well, and it could be this littlest thing. Yeah,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: it could be that you went into extra innings and
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: then you had to use, you know, a starter, because
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: you know, once upon a time you don't have to
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: do it anymore. But it could be because you went
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: into extra innings and it threw off your bullpen and
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: so then you asked the starter to go along.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Stuff like that.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Or Oh, the better example than that is when our
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: guys struggle in rain delays. Yes, our guys definitively struggle
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: during rain delays. They are not the same afterwards, and
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: they usually aren't the same the next start either. So
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: if that I I mean, and maybe it's a coincidence,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. I mean, I don't know. Bucky was
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: in baseball lot longer than I was. That's obvious, so
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: maybe it's just a coincidence. But point it sure seems
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: to repeat itself frequently for it to just be a coincidence.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: I just think they're so tightly wound to their routine,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: and if you take them out of it or show
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: them a different routine for a couple of weeks, I
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: think it affects them. I think they do get affected
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: by it. And uh, and I'm not all that surprised
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: that a week end of the season, our best hitters
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: aren't hitting the ones that played in the WBC. And
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: it's because I do believe that baseball players, more so
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: than ever, are slaves to their routines.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: I agree.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: All right, Coming up next, we we'll talk about maybe.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I it's an apology or do
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: you owe me a thank you? I'm not sure exactly
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: how to approach this, but I do want to be fair.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: To everyone about it. I'll tell you about a next
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M.
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: It's it's less than a week to go. Okay, there's
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: not a less than a week to go.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: It's just a song.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: A lot of songs are dated over times. What happens
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: they become a hits, we.
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: Make a Grammy Award winning it. We're gonna listen to
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: it to see will be the draft bick?
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Then will I can't think of one.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: No, but it's only because I can't think of music
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: while other music. Yeah.
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: Also, it says Pete John. I mean, it's pretty outdated,
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: but you know what, it ain't going anywhere.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know what though? That that you know Dean
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Martin song. Apparently that got outdated.
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, apparently you're not supposed to play that.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Holiday classic though I thought I don't play it.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I do play it quietly so I don't offend
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: other people.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Right, Good morning. It is Chuck and Ashley.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Bucky is out this week and so Ashley and I
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: throughout the course of the week. We've got Quincy Pondexter
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: joining us at the top of the hour. We'll talk
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: some you dub hoops, but more uh suctinct succinctly, we're
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: going to talk about the final four. Quincy and Danny
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: and the Dogs faced off against two of the final
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: four teams. We'll get his thoughts on what's going to
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: go down tomorrow with Quincy. So looking forward to that conversation. Yes,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: we're playing the Draft Miss music because it is Draftmas season.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Is day number three of our Draft Miss celebration, our
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: countdown to the actual NFL Draft, And we do have
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: a couple of new features that we debuted this week,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: and we got a couple more that we're gonna debut
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: next week, including Hugh Millen. Hugh Millan's gonna be joining
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: us on Monday. I have made given him an assignment
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: because usually Hugh does the Maler Millon mock draft, and
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Hugh doesn't really want to reveal his thoughts until the
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Millen Mock Draft, and then he's part of our draft
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: coverage throughout the course of the three days. And then
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: he uses all of that research that he poured into
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: the Maler Millon mock Draft to help him obviously guide
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: him through the the NFL Draft weekend. So he usually
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: doesn't reveal his draft thoughts.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: But I've found a little loophole.
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: I love it.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Found a little loophole. So he's going to join us
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: on Monday. So he's going to be a part of
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: our Draft Miss. He's never been a part of our
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Draftmas celebration until we got to actual draft day. We've
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: never used him as part of Draft Miss. But I
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: found a loophole in a way to use him this year.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: See now that's got me thinking. If he's going to
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: join us on Monday, he clearly needs a Draftmas name.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Oh that's true.
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: So we've got some homework to do by Monday.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, I'm all over it.
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: I have a feeling you'll come up with something.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: So yes, that and then Rob rang returns to our
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: DRAFTI Joley Old Saint Picholas. He'll be with us on Tuesday.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: We got a brand new feature to roll out Tuesday
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: that you've never heard before during our Draft Misas coverage,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: and so you got it. We're locked in. We are
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: locked into the Draftmas season from now until April really
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: twenty fifth, yeah, twenty thirds Draft Day, but actually through
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: the twenty fourth, because that'll be a Friday. So great
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: to have you with us during this special time of
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: the year. And you know, a lot of people have
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: said to me, do you feel guilty at all because
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Draft miss kind of overshadows Easter. You get a lot
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: of questions like that, and my response is, well, if
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: that was an undesired intent, I'll tell you that much
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: because I love Easter, and Easter is very special and
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: as a really great place in our.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Hearts and lives.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: You just ate some Easter treats.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I just ate some Easter treats.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: So I like to think that we can live harmoniously
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: together these two monster holidays this weekend.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: Sure, hope we can.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: And just because we're celebrating Draftmas doesn't mean that we
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: don't still love Easter and everything.
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: It stands well, it's like when you get into the
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: holiday season, right, you've got Thanksgiving as a part of
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: the holiday season.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: It's right at the beginning of the holiday season. So
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: we just started Draftmas and then we're making some room
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: for Easter.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: They can live together.
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: They can live together. Yeah as one.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, obviously very tongue in cheek about this, but this
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: is kind of sad. How did Draftmas for me? I
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: did like weeks of preparation for it and knew exactly
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: when it was started, and Easter snuck up on me.
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: Okay, but you're not the only one. Again, I'm so
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: focused on the Masters. He said something, and I was like, yeah, Easter,
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's probably that's on the twelfth, right, and
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: they're like, no, it's not on the twelfth. I said, no,
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: I've got the twelfth in my calendar. And then I
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: looked at my calendar. Oh no, I've got Masters Sunday, oh,
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: Medley Masters in my calendar.
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: I don't have Easter in my calendar. But now I do,
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: and we're having brunch.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Great, yes, good, very good.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I mean I don't make it. Mom doesn't have us
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: make eggs anymore. And sometimes the sneaks.
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: Right, sneaks out a lot of preparation.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: I do love the holiday, and for many many reasons,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: both the spiritual aspect of it, and obviously the commercial
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: aspect of Easter is very fun. Yeah, I have very
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: good memories of that. I mean, just think about like
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: we just hunt eggs that we colored the day before,
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: and there's can there are candy bars when you wake
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: up and they're in a little basket for you. And
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: I have the connection to Easter because that was the
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: only time that I was ever gifted.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Like a box of baseball cards.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: I was a big baseball card collector as a kid,
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: as many of you were. But I would get a
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: pack here and there. Hey, Dad, could you pick me
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: up a pack of cards at Farm Fresh? No, but
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: ask every day and you'll get one a week. And
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: so yeah, So that was how I had to get
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: my cards, Like going to visit Grandma. Grandma would always
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: get me cards. We'd go to the five and dime. Yeah,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: and I'd get one of the cellophane ones so I
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: could see through the packaging and see which card was
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: on top. Okay, so that was sort of the process,
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden on Easter the bonanza hit.
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, Easter Bunny comes through every time.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: The idea of getting an entire box of cards to
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: open up.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I mean I I mean, bravo Easter bunny, Bravo.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: Think about how tired he must be after hopping around
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: all the boys and girls right right giving them those special,
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: special individualized things.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I still have one of my fondest memories was
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: that moment. And I also got like this bright yellow
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: windbreaker jacket and wore it outside on one of the prettiest,
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: soggiest easter days in memory, Like there was standing water,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: it had rained so much, but for whatever reason on
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: that day, like it was ready for my windbreaker to
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: be worn out to.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Fly a kite.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: I remember it vividly. Do you have those days where
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: you kind of remember the weather and what you were wearing.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: You for saying, I mean, you can't picture every day vividly,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: but I picture that moment so vividly. It's one of,
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: like one of my most fifteen vivid moments of my
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: entire life.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I was like seven, I think, or maybe thirty seven.
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: It was probably thirty seven. That's why you remember it
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: so vividly.
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: But no, I do agree, Yeah, you have those moments
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: as a kid, like I remember specifically my parents used
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: to take me to go feed the ducks at Lake Samamish,
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: and I'd wear this like blue winter coat, and I
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: had belly that stuck out, and I would go to
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: feed the ducks and I had an audi belly button.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Oh you don't anymore. No, that's rird it is you
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: have one, unlike our other show member.
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: That's right. And so I'd feed them, you know, the bread.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: I'd break it up, and then my parents would be
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: down the beach and I'd come running and crying because
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: I would be throwing the bread but not fast enough,
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: and then the ducks would bite my belly button.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Wow, I did not see that handing coming to that story.
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they thought it was bread. I guess.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I know, get it, get.
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: It, Spencer, And now I haven't any so make sense
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: of that.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: She's got a creuton in her belly button? Yeah, rabbit, Yeah, that.
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: Happened a couple of times. My parents would just stand
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: there laughing.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: We might have to rush her to the hospital. It's hilarious.
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: The duck's got her belly button again.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Yappy Easter all right?
