Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Hey, good going to you. It is Chuck and Ashley
- 0:13Speaker 1: with you Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Great to have you a board here. On this Thursday,
- 0:19Speaker 1: we have NFL schedule release Day, which we'll get back to.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Rick new Eisl's going to join us today at nine
- 0:24Speaker 1: o'clock talk a little college football, and of course of
- 0:27Speaker 1: his new project, the Dallas Renegade. So it'll be good
- 0:29Speaker 1: to check in with a coach, a round of SUP.
- 0:32Speaker 1: We'll get in an update on cal Raleigh and here
- 0:34Speaker 1: is the latest on cal Raley. Not in the lineup today.
- 0:39Speaker 2: H Well, and he definitely tweaked what we thought he tweaked.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Well, I think we shouldn't be surprised at all about that.
- 0:46Speaker 1: The question now becomes will we get an update later
- 0:50Speaker 1: on today saying he's going on the IL.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I want to know.
- 0:54Speaker 1: I kind of think that's what's going to happen, but
- 0:56Speaker 1: that's just gut. I don't have any insight.
- 0:58Speaker 2: I'm the same way as you.
- 0:59Speaker 3: I think they probably thought, okay, well, we didn't put
- 1:01Speaker 3: him on the al before, and then he didn't get
- 1:03Speaker 3: enough rest, and now look, we don't want to deal
- 1:05Speaker 3: with this all season where you'll have to be worried
- 1:08Speaker 3: about the toughest guy on your team.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, ten full days rest where we can't be
- 1:13Speaker 1: tempted to put him in the lineup, or he can't
- 1:16Speaker 1: come to the park and convince us that he's ready
- 1:18Speaker 1: to go and good to go. Let's just commit to it,
- 1:21Speaker 1: bite the bullet, eat the ten days, and then hopefully
- 1:24Speaker 1: we can get the good cow back and eleven days
- 1:27Speaker 1: from now so we'll see again. Not put him on
- 1:30Speaker 1: the al, but he is not in the lineup today
- 1:33Speaker 1: after what looked like a tweak of the side injury
- 1:37Speaker 1: last night during the loss to the Houston Astros. Also
- 1:40Speaker 1: PGA Championship Day number one going on live. We'll get
- 1:43Speaker 1: you an update from Philadelphia coming up at eight twenty
- 1:46Speaker 1: and then again in nine to twenty and throughout the
- 1:48Speaker 1: course of our day together. We also have a cash
- 1:51Speaker 1: word for you, Bills ninety three to three KJR dot com.
- 1:54Speaker 1: If you're playing Grand Slam cash. If you want a
- 1:56Speaker 1: shot at one thousand dollars, enter the word bills at
- 1:59Speaker 1: ninety three three KR dot com. Right now, all right,
- 2:03Speaker 1: I have a project today that we're all going to
- 2:05Speaker 1: work on together. And here is the headline, and I'm
- 2:10Speaker 1: going to have you vote on this, and then it's
- 2:12Speaker 1: going to determine my future. Really, and the question is
- 2:16Speaker 1: going to be is it idiotic to be suspicious that
- 2:18Speaker 1: the NBA draft lottery is rigged? That's going to be
- 2:22Speaker 1: the question. And this might be the last time I
- 2:26Speaker 1: ever give this speech on the airwaves because for whatever.
- 2:30Speaker 1: So for thirty five years i've been in radio. Thirty
- 2:33Speaker 1: six actually I started when I was nineteen years old,
- 2:37Speaker 1: so thirty six years. For better than half of that,
- 2:41Speaker 1: I've done this. I think the NBA lottery is rigged.
- 2:44Speaker 1: So the NBA lottery has been around for forty years.
- 2:47Speaker 1: I've been questioning it for more than half of its existence.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I've been questioning it for more than half of my
- 2:53Speaker 1: existence on the airwaves. Everywhere I've ever been, my co
- 2:57Speaker 1: workers have gotten a kick out of it, whether they
- 2:59Speaker 1: agreed with me or not, because there's a little bit
- 3:02Speaker 1: of tongue in cheek, but very little. I do believe
- 3:04Speaker 1: that they rig the NBA lottery. That is that is,
- 3:08Speaker 1: that's fact. And so I've been doing this every year,
- 3:12Speaker 1: and usually whether you agree or disagree with me, people
- 3:16Speaker 1: that I work with find it amusing. They laugh at it,
- 3:20Speaker 1: or like my passion about it, or think it's interesting
- 3:23Speaker 1: because it's not like I'm just throwing it out there
- 3:25Speaker 1: without examples being given. But for whatever reason here at KJR,
- 3:30Speaker 1: my coworkers have had a problem with it. I remember
- 3:32Speaker 1: when Puck and I hosted, he did not like that
- 3:35Speaker 1: topic and he thought it was silly. I think Bucky
- 3:38Speaker 1: may have gotten come around to like, I see your
- 3:42Speaker 1: point of view. I just don't believe it, Ashley. I
- 3:45Speaker 1: think I've won over.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Yes you have, but apparently I have not.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Won over the Afternoon guys, including the including our QB one,
- 3:55Speaker 1: because they're now airing a promo about me being an
- 3:59Speaker 1: idiot for believing that the NBA lottery is rigged, and
- 4:03Speaker 1: they're laughing, they're having a grand old time about it,
- 4:07Speaker 1: and it just keeps airing over and over and over.
- 4:09Speaker 1: So what I'm going to do today is I'm going
- 4:11Speaker 1: to give my pitch, maybe for the last time. I'm
- 4:13Speaker 1: going to tell you where I'm coming from on this,
- 4:17Speaker 1: and then we're going to have you vote on that
- 4:19Speaker 1: question I started the segment with, and if I get
- 4:23Speaker 1: one more vote saying that I'm an idiot for thinking
- 4:26Speaker 1: the NBA lottery is rigged, then I will never bring
- 4:30Speaker 1: this topic back up again on our airwaves here at
- 4:33Speaker 1: kJ R. Okay, and I if I find out that
- 4:38Speaker 1: most people do find that they're suspicious about whether or
- 4:42Speaker 1: not the NBA Draft lottery is rigged, and they don't
- 4:45Speaker 1: count themselves as idiots for thinking so, then I will
- 4:51Speaker 1: refer to everybody that doesn't think the NBA lottery is
- 4:55Speaker 1: rigged as a gullible, naive fool from this day for
- 5:00Speaker 1: all right. So we're just gonna leave it to the
- 5:02Speaker 1: We're gonna leave it to the viewers on YouTube, the listeners,
- 5:05Speaker 1: whoever wants to vote. We're going to post that poll
- 5:08Speaker 1: in a moment. But first hear me out, because I
- 5:10Speaker 1: do want to give the speech, maybe for the last
- 5:14Speaker 1: and final time, because I do think, and that's very important,
- 5:19Speaker 1: I think the NBA lottery is rigged. I've never said
- 5:22Speaker 1: that it is. There's no way that I could ever
- 5:24Speaker 1: present to a radio audience or to my own radio
- 5:28Speaker 1: station try to play it off as fact. I just
- 5:32Speaker 1: think that it is. I'm not saying that there isn't
- 5:35Speaker 1: a great, sound, very rational argument against my admittedly bold take,
- 5:42Speaker 1: which I usually only use in a segment called reckless
- 5:46Speaker 1: at Breakfast, meaning I'm intentionally being bold and reckless in
- 5:52Speaker 1: that segment more so than normal. But to me, the
- 5:57Speaker 1: evidence for my argument is staggeringly suspicious over the years,
- 6:04Speaker 1: which is why half the players believe it. More than
- 6:08Speaker 1: half of the guys that were actually had the lottery
- 6:11Speaker 1: rig for them believe it, like fifty percent of the
- 6:15Speaker 1: people covered, and these are loosen them. I don't have facts,
- 6:17Speaker 1: factual numbers, like half the league people that cover the
- 6:20Speaker 1: league believe it. Certainly, I'm betting that more than half
- 6:23Speaker 1: of fans of the NBA believe it. And let's take
- 6:27Speaker 1: a look at the evidence. But before we get to
- 6:29Speaker 1: the evidence, I want to point out two things. Because
- 6:31Speaker 1: people tend to think that I believe it's rigged to
- 6:35Speaker 1: help big market clubs. No, No, We've got plenty of
- 6:38Speaker 1: evidence that suggests that is not true. What thin I
- 6:42Speaker 1: think the NBA does a great job of not making
- 6:45Speaker 1: it about the large markets. Baseball makes it about the
- 6:47Speaker 1: large markets. NBA, you know Lebron James and Cleveland and
- 6:52Speaker 1: Tim Duncan and San Antonio and you know Shack and
- 6:57Speaker 1: Orlando to start his career, eventually went to the Lakers,
- 7:00Speaker 1: but Shaq and Orlando to start his career, and so
- 7:02Speaker 1: I don't think this is about big markets. I do
- 7:05Speaker 1: believe though, it is about transitional players, transcendent players, generational players,
- 7:11Speaker 1: and then we have to support them with talent sooner
- 7:16Speaker 1: than later, and our best way of doing that is
- 7:20Speaker 1: to rig the lottery. So it's also not just about
- 7:24Speaker 1: number one picks, because the ping pong balls historically have
- 7:29Speaker 1: picked out the top three, and now we pick out
- 7:31Speaker 1: the top four. So it gives you a chance to
- 7:34Speaker 1: not necessarily rig it for number one. But where is
- 7:38Speaker 1: it written that it's not rigged so that you get
- 7:41Speaker 1: one of those top four picks that helps support a
- 7:44Speaker 1: superstar player so that we can put him in more
- 7:47Speaker 1: primetime games, so on and so forth. So let's run
- 7:50Speaker 1: through it, because the history of this thing is just
- 7:54Speaker 1: loaded with suspicion, going back to the very first one,
- 7:58Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five Patrick, the whole point of the NBA
- 8:02Speaker 1: lottery system was because Ralph Sampson, prior to Patrick Ewing,
- 8:06Speaker 1: was causing NBA teams to tank and they were trying
- 8:09Speaker 1: to get seven foot four the Wimby before Wimby, Ralph
- 8:13Speaker 1: Sampson on their team, and so the NBA said, we
- 8:16Speaker 1: don't want that, we don't want that. Look, so they
- 8:18Speaker 1: created this lottery system and everybody had the exact same chances.
- 8:22Speaker 1: They put in one envelope per team that didn't make
- 8:26Speaker 1: the playoffs, and back in those days, it was just
- 8:27Speaker 1: seven teams. So seven teams in a ping pong ball
- 8:31Speaker 1: hopper and then they would rotate it right there live
- 8:35Speaker 1: on the stage and David Stern would reach his hand
- 8:37Speaker 1: into the hopper and he would pull out one of
- 8:40Speaker 1: the envelopes and then he would then they would reveal them. Well,
- 8:47Speaker 1: the story is that one of them was frozen, so
- 8:50Speaker 1: David Stern would reach his hand in there, find the
- 8:52Speaker 1: frozen one. I don't remember if they went seven to
- 8:55Speaker 1: one or one to seven. I think it was one
- 8:56Speaker 1: to seven. He'd reach it in there and he would
- 8:58Speaker 1: feel around ntil they found the frozen one and he
- 9:00Speaker 1: would grab it out. And then that was the New
- 9:02Speaker 1: York Knicks because here was Patrick Ewing and the NBA
- 9:06Speaker 1: right out of the chute, decided, if we use a
- 9:09Speaker 1: lottery system, we can figure out where we want generational
- 9:13Speaker 1: players to land. And so that's how it all started.
- 9:17Speaker 1: That's where the suspicion started, and frankly, they've never died
- 9:20Speaker 1: over the years. But I'm not going to go through
- 9:22Speaker 1: the entire NBA Lottery history, but I am going to
- 9:25Speaker 1: go through the big names, the generational names, and then
- 9:28Speaker 1: you determine at the end of this whether or not
- 9:31Speaker 1: I'm crazy or an idiot, as the name callers have suggested,
- 9:38Speaker 1: and then if I am, I'll wear the idiot crowned
- 9:40Speaker 1: forever and I'll never bring this back up again. If not,
- 9:44Speaker 1: maybe somebody else has to wear the idiot crown. Fair enough, Okay,
- 9:48Speaker 1: So nineteen ninety two, Shaquille O'Neil the Orlando Magic had
- 9:52Speaker 1: a nine percent chance of getting the number one pick,
- 9:57Speaker 1: and they ended up getting it, being that they had
- 10:02Speaker 1: two new franchises and they wanted to get them going
- 10:06Speaker 1: because they were expanding quickly and they wanted to get
- 10:10Speaker 1: them going. So they ended up Orlando got one, Minnesota
- 10:13Speaker 1: got to but Orlando only had a nine percent chance
- 10:16Speaker 1: of getting that. And then there's now the now famous
- 10:18Speaker 1: story where Shaquille O'Neil believes David Stern had tipped him
- 10:22Speaker 1: off as to where he was going to go before
- 10:24Speaker 1: they even had so Shaquille O'Neill believes that it was
- 10:27Speaker 1: rigged for him to go to Orlando, So nine percent
- 10:31Speaker 1: chance they get it. But that's not even the one
- 10:33Speaker 1: I'm suspicious about. The one I'm suspicious about is the
- 10:37Speaker 1: very next year, the Magic with Shaquille O'Neill won the
- 10:43Speaker 1: lottery again, this time with a one point five percent
- 10:49Speaker 1: chance of winning the lottery. What did I say earlier?
- 10:52Speaker 1: It's not just about the number one pick. You then
- 10:55Speaker 1: have to get talent around him so that you can
- 10:58Speaker 1: take advantage of the players a popularity. And the only
- 11:02Speaker 1: way to do that is to have him worthy of
- 11:04Speaker 1: being put on big time marquee games and making the playoffs. Right,
- 11:08Speaker 1: That's the only way to get eyeballs on the product.
- 11:11Speaker 1: He got to marry the two together. So Chris Webber
- 11:14Speaker 1: was was the number one pick, and then they traded
- 11:16Speaker 1: him for Penny Hardaway famously, but they had a one
- 11:19Speaker 1: point five percent chance of winning the lottery again, and
- 11:23Speaker 1: they did it again. All right, So now let's skip
- 11:26Speaker 1: to nineteen ninety seven. Tim Duncan goes to the San
- 11:29Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs. Spurs had a twenty two percent chance of
- 11:32Speaker 1: winning That that's pretty significant chance. That's a one four
- 11:36Speaker 1: chance of winning the NBA lottery, right, Well, they won it.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Boston that year had a thirty six percent chance, so
- 11:45Speaker 1: they didn't have the highest percentage chance of getting Tim Duncan,
- 11:48Speaker 1: but they got him. And it just so happened that
- 11:50Speaker 1: year that the San Antonio Spurs were up for a
- 11:54Speaker 1: new stadium, and at that point, David Stern had not
- 11:58Speaker 1: lost a franchise and he was very proud of that.
- 12:00Speaker 1: He didn't want he hated franchise relocation, not on his watch.
- 12:05Speaker 1: So there is a theory that, and this isn't my
- 12:09Speaker 1: theory that I came up with, is that in order
- 12:11Speaker 1: to push that vote over so San Antonio would get
- 12:14Speaker 1: it stadium, that Tim Duncan and the Spurs needed to
- 12:18Speaker 1: win even though they had a fourteen percent less chance
- 12:21Speaker 1: of getting the number one pick than what the Boston
- 12:25Speaker 1: Celtics had. Here's another thing about it, David Robinson, the
- 12:29Speaker 1: Spurs were already good. The only reason they were in
- 12:34Speaker 1: position to get the number one pick is because David
- 12:36Speaker 1: Robinson was hurt the year before, so they only had
- 12:38Speaker 1: a six percent chance. See, he only played six games
- 12:42Speaker 1: that year, so you were adding Tim Duncan to David Robinson.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Now I get a chance to put Tim Duncan. They
- 12:49Speaker 1: get to be good immediately, David Robinson gets to be
- 12:52Speaker 1: better immediately, and I get to showcase these two guys
- 12:56Speaker 1: more regularly, and they became an instant hit right and
- 13:00Speaker 1: then went on to a dynastic run ultimately, at least
- 13:03Speaker 1: Duncan did. And so that was another suspicious one that
- 13:08Speaker 1: occurred back in nineteen ninety seven. Now let's go forward
- 13:12Speaker 1: to two thousand and three. The Ultimate Player was coming
- 13:16Speaker 1: out Lebron James. Cavaliers had a twenty two point five
- 13:19Speaker 1: percent chance of getting the number one pick. That was
- 13:21Speaker 1: the highest of any team out there, and they got
- 13:24Speaker 1: the number one pick. But what gets lost is there
- 13:27Speaker 1: was a seventy seven point five percent chance that he
- 13:30Speaker 1: wasn't going to be to the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers weren't
- 13:34Speaker 1: going to get him. So it was the field versus
- 13:37Speaker 1: the Cavaliers. So even though the Cavaliers were the most
- 13:40Speaker 1: likely seventy seven, it was far more likely that he
- 13:43Speaker 1: was going to go. It was three to one more
- 13:46Speaker 1: likely he was going to go to another team. Lebron
- 13:49Speaker 1: leaves in two thousand and ten after saving the Cavaliers franchise.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Then in twenty eleven, because Cleveland's beside itself with a
- 13:59Speaker 1: two point point eight percent chance, guess who wins the
- 14:02Speaker 1: NBA lottery. We'll look at that the Cleveland Cavaliers, and
- 14:06Speaker 1: so Kyrie Irving goes to the Cleveland Cavaliers a two
- 14:09Speaker 1: point eight percent chance top five picks. Again in twenty
- 14:14Speaker 1: thirteen and twenty fourteen, it's a fifteen hundred to one
- 14:19Speaker 1: chance that with their odds, the Cleveland Cavaliers would have
- 14:22Speaker 1: gotten the number one pick in the NBA lottery three
- 14:25Speaker 1: out of four years, fifteen hundred to one. And it
- 14:29Speaker 1: just so happened that Lebron James was going to return
- 14:34Speaker 1: to Cleveland, which many people believe was in the works
- 14:37Speaker 1: before his final year at Miami, that it had already
- 14:40Speaker 1: been decided, and lo and behold, in twenty thirteen, they
- 14:44Speaker 1: get the number one pick with us fifteen percent chance,
- 14:48Speaker 1: and then they got it again in twenty fourteen with
- 14:50Speaker 1: a fourteen percent chance. Then they took those two number
- 14:53Speaker 1: one picks and traded them for Kevin Love, and who
- 14:57Speaker 1: at that time was a star, maybe superstar, And now
- 15:00Speaker 1: you had Kyrie Kevin Love waiting for Lebron James on
- 15:04Speaker 1: his return to Cleveland. Individually, that might not be all
- 15:10Speaker 1: that suspicious, but when you start putting all the pieces together,
- 15:14Speaker 1: you start saying, man, what is going on here? Let's
- 15:16Speaker 1: go to twenty twenty three. That's the Victor wem mien
- 15:20Speaker 1: Yama draft. Fourteen percent chance that he was going to
- 15:24Speaker 1: San Antonio. That's tied for first. I mean because they
- 15:27Speaker 1: changed the rules, So fourteen percent chance he was going
- 15:29Speaker 1: to San Antonio. Just so happens, this precious commodity coming
- 15:34Speaker 1: over from France wanted to go to San Antonio. So
- 15:38Speaker 1: what happens? He goes to San Antonio, who knew still
- 15:42Speaker 1: an eighty six percent chance the field was going to
- 15:45Speaker 1: win against San Antonio and Victor being able to get
- 15:49Speaker 1: married just because Victor wanted to. And yet wembin Yama
- 15:54Speaker 1: lands with the Spurs. But that's not the end. They
- 15:57Speaker 1: ended up the very next year getting one of those
- 16:00Speaker 1: top four picks, and then the year after that got
- 16:03Speaker 1: a second pick in the draft. So they defied the
- 16:05Speaker 1: lottery odds three years in a row to surround Victor
- 16:09Speaker 1: wim min Yama with the talent to make them what
- 16:13Speaker 1: you now see before you. They also grabbed the Aaron
- 16:16Speaker 1: Fox and a very strange trade that nobody could believe
- 16:19Speaker 1: Sacramento pulled.
- 16:20Speaker 2: Hmm.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Then you go to twenty twenty five and that was
- 16:26Speaker 1: the Luka Doncic fallout. Why did the Dallas Mavericks just
- 16:31Speaker 1: trade their best player to the Lakers with that week
- 16:36Speaker 1: of a return, without shopping him, without being known that
- 16:41Speaker 1: he was going to be traded, because they could have
- 16:44Speaker 1: really driven up the price on a commodity like Luka Doncic.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Million dollar question.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Once again, Lebron James is in Los Angeles, he's our
- 16:54Speaker 1: biggest face. Put the two together. But when we got
- 16:58Speaker 1: to scratch Dallas's back, still people lived with that mystery.
- 17:02Speaker 1: Why why would Dallas do this? And with a one
- 17:07Speaker 1: point eight percent chance the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA lottery,
- 17:12Speaker 1: are you at least suspicious that maybe they worked out
- 17:15Speaker 1: a deal will trade Luca to the Lakers so you
- 17:17Speaker 1: can team him with Lebron in LA and give Lebron
- 17:21Speaker 1: the hand off baton carrier of the torch into the future.
- 17:26Speaker 1: But you got to give us some special give us
- 17:28Speaker 1: the Cooper flag number one pick in twenty nineteen. Last
- 17:33Speaker 1: one July of twenty nineteen, This wasn't the first time
- 17:35Speaker 1: they'd done this. Anthony Davis was mysteriously traded to the Lakers,
- 17:41Speaker 1: the team with Lebron in his prime, and everybody at
- 17:44Speaker 1: that point was like, why on earth would they consider that? Well,
- 17:49Speaker 1: it just so happened that a month before that trade,
- 17:52Speaker 1: the New Orleans Pelicans won the NBA lottery with a
- 17:55Speaker 1: six percent chance, took Zion Williamson, and then traded Anthony
- 18:00Speaker 1: Davis to the Lakers. I'm not saying it's rigged, I
- 18:05Speaker 1: really am not. But after that, that's just that's just
- 18:09Speaker 1: a handful of players. How could you not be suspicious
- 18:13Speaker 1: that it's rigged. So if I'm an idiot, which I've
- 18:17Speaker 1: been accused of being, well, I mean the argument that
- 18:23Speaker 1: has been made against me is that why would the
- 18:27Speaker 1: NBA risk so much to create this? I don't know.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Why would politicians get involved in organized crime? Why would
- 18:37Speaker 1: billionaire companies be found guilty of investing in terrible things.
- 18:44Speaker 1: We have a food and Drug administration right now. There's
- 18:47Speaker 1: an investigation going on that maybe we've been poisoned our
- 18:51Speaker 1: entire lives by food companies in order for the drug
- 18:55Speaker 1: companies to take care of us. Because they're making us
- 18:58Speaker 1: sick and then trying to keep us with our food.
- 19:01Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's true, but if our
- 19:03Speaker 1: government rubber stamps that, then why wouldn't we think a
- 19:08Speaker 1: both a billion dollar company like the NBA wouldn't try
- 19:11Speaker 1: to get whimby to the spurs. That's not that outlandish.
- 19:16Speaker 1: I don't think that's idiotic to be suspicious of that.
- 19:20Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I don't know. Maybe you
- 19:24Speaker 1: should take your idiot arm and grab your idiot mirror
- 19:29Speaker 1: and press your idiot face into the reflective part, the
- 19:33Speaker 1: shiny part of the mirror, and tell me what you see.
- 19:36Speaker 1: I have a feeling there's a team full of idiots
- 19:39Speaker 1: somewhere at an idiot conference in an idiot city, inside
- 19:43Speaker 1: an idiot hotel, and they're having an idiot meeting while
- 19:47Speaker 1: drinking idiot drinks and eating idiot food, and they're trying
- 19:50Speaker 1: to determine what is a word stronger than idiot that
- 19:54Speaker 1: we could call the person that's not suspicious of what
- 19:57Speaker 1: the NBA Lottery is doing. And once we' find out
- 20:00Speaker 1: what that word is, that's what that reflection in that
- 20:04Speaker 1: mirror is looking at. That's what you are if I'm
- 20:09Speaker 1: an idiot. Let's vote. Want to vote? Yeah, all right,
- 20:15Speaker 1: let's vote. So again, you vote. Is it idiotic to
- 20:20Speaker 1: be suspicious of the NBA draft? Yes? Or no? Ashley's
- 20:24Speaker 1: gonna post it up. If it's more than fifty percent,
- 20:26Speaker 1: that's the last time I ever give that speech, and
- 20:29Speaker 1: I will wear the idiot crown when it comes to
- 20:31Speaker 1: the NBA Lottery forever. If not, I'm gonna keep on going. Huh,
- 20:36Speaker 1: keep preaching the gospel, all right? Coming up next on
- 20:41Speaker 1: the radio program around of Sup we need your questions
- 20:44Speaker 1: at four nine, four five one. But right now, a
- 20:46Speaker 1: PGA update from Philadelphia. Up, Ashley. Oh, how's your friend
- 20:51Speaker 1: Derek faring today at the PGA Championship.
- 20:53Speaker 3: Well, I will say it was a little rough going
- 20:55Speaker 3: on the front on this. Well, he started off on
- 20:57Speaker 3: the back nine, but his first nine standable. First time
- 21:00Speaker 3: in the PGA Championship, I imagine nerves played a.
- 21:03Speaker 2: Part of it.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Most nervous day of his life ever, and for.
- 21:06Speaker 3: Great reason went to the back nine hole one birdie,
- 21:10Speaker 3: nice par on whole two, and he just piped it
- 21:13Speaker 3: straight down the middle on whole three.
- 21:15Speaker 2: So let's go Derek getting.
- 21:17Speaker 1: His legs underneath him. No more knocking knees and more,
- 21:20Speaker 1: no more, no longer intimidated by Scotty Scheffler. Who are
- 21:23Speaker 1: you h?
- 21:23Speaker 2: He's like, I know this course.
- 21:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:25Speaker 3: And that's the other thing about Derek too, his positioning
- 21:27Speaker 3: where he's playing. He's got big groups in front of
- 21:29Speaker 3: him and in back of him, so there's quite a
- 21:32Speaker 3: crowd there to be watching.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Yeah, we could understand why he would be incredibly nervous.
- 21:36Speaker 3: I'm nervous and I'm not even playing it or even
- 21:40Speaker 3: in the vicinity.
- 21:41Speaker 1: You've been nervous all morning long? Yeah for him? Well good,
- 21:44Speaker 1: all right, Well let's get to the text line. What
- 21:46Speaker 1: are people have today?
- 21:47Speaker 2: All right, we've got sup Chuck. Are you a dog
- 21:49Speaker 2: or cat person? And why or why not?
- 21:52Speaker 1: I'm really turned soft as softy when it comes to
- 21:55Speaker 1: just animals in general late in my life. I give
- 21:58Speaker 1: the Unicorn credit for that kind of opening my eyes
- 22:00Speaker 1: to some stuff. So I'm definitely dog a dog person.
- 22:04Speaker 1: I'm more of a dog person now by a thousand
- 22:07Speaker 1: times than I ever was now that I've had a dog,
- 22:10Speaker 1: and we have dogs right now, So I'm more of
- 22:12Speaker 1: a dog person for sure. But I gotta be on
- 22:15Speaker 1: I think maybe a little kiddy is even cut than
- 22:17Speaker 1: a puppy.
- 22:18Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they are so cute.
- 22:20Speaker 1: They're so cute.
- 22:21Speaker 2: They're a little nubbin pause.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. So I never really was a cat person
- 22:24Speaker 1: at all, but I mean there's room in this heart
- 22:27Speaker 1: for all animals.
- 22:28Speaker 2: I love that. Good for you, including elk, including elk. Yeah,
- 22:34Speaker 2: Bucky Yeah.
- 22:36Speaker 3: How about this one from the two five to three
- 22:38Speaker 3: sub idiots after hearing Shack's story, it would be malpractice
- 22:41Speaker 3: not to be suspicious. Thanks from your number one idiot.
- 22:46Speaker 1: And one thing I didn't get into that was elaborate.
- 22:49Speaker 1: I wanted to elaborate a little bit more because the
- 22:52Speaker 1: argument against me that was posed last year was why
- 22:55Speaker 1: would they risk that? In essence, there's no way that
- 22:58Speaker 1: they could get get away with that, and if they didn't,
- 23:01Speaker 1: I mean, they could undermine the entire league, certainly the commissioner,
- 23:04Speaker 1: all of that sort of thing. And my response to
- 23:06Speaker 1: that is, there are a lot of people with a
- 23:08Speaker 1: lot at stake. We have politicians who are public servants
- 23:12Speaker 1: that fed us aligne to vote for them, and that
- 23:15Speaker 1: we put our trust in, and then we find out
- 23:17Speaker 1: that they're involved in all sorts of illegalities we've had
- 23:20Speaker 1: presidents with mob ties for goodness sake, And if we've
- 23:24Speaker 1: got billionaires who were willing to risk it all because
- 23:27Speaker 1: they've got good enough lawyers and they put enough distance
- 23:30Speaker 1: between themselves and the crimes that make them an extra
- 23:33Speaker 1: billion that year. And there are all sorts of billionaires
- 23:36Speaker 1: out there with some really nasty rumors about them these days.
- 23:41Speaker 1: If they're willing to risk it, then is it that
- 23:43Speaker 1: out of the question that a multi billion dollar company
- 23:47Speaker 1: would put enough distance between themselves and the actions of
- 23:52Speaker 1: perhaps rigging some things about the lottery so they could
- 23:55Speaker 1: get their most impactful players to the right situations, and
- 23:59Speaker 1: they're for them to flourish and for them to market
- 24:02Speaker 1: around him. I just don't think that's crazy much less idiotic.
- 24:05Speaker 2: I get it. I get it.
- 24:07Speaker 3: Sub Ashley from the two five three? What's your favorite
- 24:10Speaker 3: food if you get to have dinner yourself with no
- 24:12Speaker 3: one else around?
- 24:13Speaker 2: Well, that's it's an easy question, an easy one.
- 24:15Speaker 3: Yes. Every time five Iron goes out of town, I
- 24:18Speaker 3: make one of two things. Avocado toast with Hollandais or
- 24:24Speaker 3: Indian food.
- 24:25Speaker 1: You make it? Yes, you know how to make Indian Yeah?
- 24:28Speaker 3: And I because especially like I love chicken teaka masala,
- 24:31Speaker 3: but I can't buy it in a restaurant because it
- 24:32Speaker 3: has cream in it, but if I use my dairy
- 24:34Speaker 3: free cream. So my mom was staying with us this
- 24:36Speaker 3: week because Five Irons in Philly, and we made that
- 24:39Speaker 3: and had it for dinner last night or Monday night
- 24:42Speaker 3: and Tuesday night because we had leftovers.
- 24:44Speaker 2: And it is my favorite.
- 24:45Speaker 1: That is your favorite? Sood couple of favorite crave.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Well, because it's two things that Five Iron doesn't.
- 24:52Speaker 3: He won't eat Indian food and he doesn't smell yes,
- 24:55Speaker 3: and he doesn't really care about avocado toasts. So it's
- 24:58Speaker 3: just one that's easy and I like it, and Palmer
- 25:01Speaker 3: the Great also likes it, which is helpful.
- 25:03Speaker 2: And then the Indian food, it's just yeah, he hates it.
- 25:06Speaker 3: So I'm like, if he's gone, and he's gone for
- 25:09Speaker 3: multiple days, then I will cook it and then get
- 25:11Speaker 3: the smell out of it.
- 25:11Speaker 1: What do you race to go eat out? If he's gone?
- 25:15Speaker 2: What do I eat out?
- 25:16Speaker 1: That's my first thing. I'm not thinking about making something
- 25:19Speaker 1: for myself. I'm looking like what gluten can I shove
- 25:23Speaker 1: in my face?
- 25:24Speaker 2: I don't know what I eat out.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm always pizza because you know, we found a
- 25:29Speaker 1: couple of gluten free pizzas because she's Sea Lac and
- 25:31Speaker 1: so I don't put it in the house because I've
- 25:32Speaker 1: seen her suffer from it. But when she's not there,
- 25:37Speaker 1: it's like, where do you get pizza from? Gluten free pizza? Well,
- 25:39Speaker 1: I'll just go with whatever's close around there, because we
- 25:42Speaker 1: have like a ballad pizza company close to us.
- 25:44Speaker 2: I do love when someone else makes me a pasta dish.
- 25:47Speaker 3: Oh but and then yeah, all right, what else we go?
- 25:52Speaker 3: Let's see, we've got to sup Chuck. Given you've got
- 25:56Speaker 3: Arizona ties, what are your thoughts on Tucson. I'm contemplating
- 25:58Speaker 3: moving there in the not too distanc in future.
- 26:00Speaker 1: I didn't spend a lot of time in Tucson. What
- 26:03Speaker 1: little time I spent there, it felt very dusty to me,
- 26:07Speaker 1: far more than even Phoenix, because I don't know if
- 26:10Speaker 1: I ever living in Phoenix for fifteen years ever felt like, Man,
- 26:12Speaker 1: I feel like dusty, Like you would go out and
- 26:15Speaker 1: you feel like you were covered in dust. And I
- 26:18Speaker 1: think that's just there's less infrastructure there and more desert,
- 26:22Speaker 1: and so you don't have the obstacles in your way.
- 26:24Speaker 1: But that's kind of the way I felt. People that
- 26:27Speaker 1: live in Phoenix don't really like Tucson too much. Now
- 26:30Speaker 1: there's a rivalry that maybe that has to do with
- 26:34Speaker 1: yeh Unicorn lived in Tucson. She liked it, so certainly there.
- 26:38Speaker 1: I don't care where you go, wherever you move to.
- 26:41Speaker 1: If you can't find something you like about it, then
- 26:43Speaker 1: I feel bad for you. So there's enough about Tucson
- 26:46Speaker 1: that you should be able to like gravitate toward. It's
- 26:49Speaker 1: going to be hot, it's going to be dusty, just
- 26:51Speaker 1: warn you, but you're gonna have the best Mexican food
- 26:54Speaker 1: of your entire life.
- 26:55Speaker 2: Oh I do love that. I do love that, all right, sup?
- 26:58Speaker 2: Chuck and Ashley. When is an ex up time.
- 27:00Speaker 3: To start tailgating on Christmas Day? I say, anytime afternoon.
- 27:05Speaker 1: What a phenomenal question. I should have thought of that myself.
- 27:10Speaker 2: You gotta do Christmas morning with a family, that's the
- 27:12Speaker 2: big thing.
- 27:12Speaker 1: So unless you do a first Christmas tailgate with the
- 27:15Speaker 1: family like you can start in the morning. Like Christmas
- 27:18Speaker 1: presents can be opened on the tailgate this.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Year they could be.
- 27:22Speaker 3: But if your family's not all going to the game,
- 27:24Speaker 3: they might give you dirty looks.
- 27:26Speaker 1: But what if it's the theme for this My family
- 27:28Speaker 1: always has a theme to Christmas.
- 27:30Speaker 3: Well, five Iron does love a theme. Every time we
- 27:32Speaker 3: go to a wedding. He goes, well, what's the theme?
- 27:34Speaker 3: I said, two people getting married? That's the theme.
- 27:36Speaker 1: What if you put the Christmas tree in the back
- 27:39Speaker 1: of a truck and then you all went to the
- 27:41Speaker 1: tail brought down the tailgate, and you open your gifts
- 27:44Speaker 1: out there and started your party.
- 27:45Speaker 2: Well, it'll probably be raining, so I'll probably be angry.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Uh what time should you start tailgating? Oh?
- 27:51Speaker 2: Boy, that's on Christmas Day. It's got to be a
- 27:53Speaker 2: little later.
- 27:53Speaker 3: You can't, I'd say at the earliest.
- 27:57Speaker 1: But if you don't have like but if.
- 27:59Speaker 3: You don't have family to worry about them, yeah, I mean,
- 28:01Speaker 3: then why limit yourself go down there at nine?
- 28:04Speaker 1: I would go nine the night before so you can
- 28:06Speaker 1: wake up on Christmas Day tailgating.
- 28:08Speaker 2: I mean, there's a Christmas present.
- 28:11Speaker 1: Yeah, see what Sannah brought you? Oh look, I love Santa.
- 28:20Speaker 2: Chuck.
- 28:20Speaker 3: Why do you care about the NFL schedule so much?
- 28:23Speaker 3: Is it possible to go one week in the off
- 28:25Speaker 3: season without talking about the NFL?
- 28:26Speaker 2: I don't think This is a Chuck problem, right.
- 28:28Speaker 1: Not any problem. I think the NFL schedule's way overdone.
- 28:32Speaker 1: But my problem is because I go so hard on
- 28:35Speaker 1: the draft, I can't neglect those who love NFL schedule
- 28:40Speaker 1: week so much. So I prefer just to get the schedule,
- 28:44Speaker 1: do a little half day of reacting on Friday. But
- 28:47Speaker 1: there's such an appetite for it. I mean, my job
- 28:50Speaker 1: is not necessarily to bring up things that I want
- 28:53Speaker 1: to talk about. My job is to try to figure
- 28:56Speaker 1: out what are good topics for the average person and
- 29:00Speaker 1: tuning in so I can't neglect the fever that the
- 29:04Speaker 1: football fan has for the schedule and all the nitty
- 29:07Speaker 1: gritty aspects of it. So whatever you hear me doing
- 29:10Speaker 1: that you think is overdone, it is a service to
- 29:13Speaker 1: those who are thirsty for it. Well.
- 29:16Speaker 3: And also the NFL makes sure that you could not
- 29:18Speaker 3: go because this Texas.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Is it possible to go one week in the off
- 29:21Speaker 2: season without talking about the NFL. No, it is not possible.
- 29:24Speaker 3: It is not possible to go a day usually without
- 29:27Speaker 3: bringing up the NFL in some way, because especially it
- 29:30Speaker 3: is so important to our listeners.
- 29:31Speaker 2: You got to work it into one segment.
- 29:32Speaker 3: But the NFL makes it impossible to ignore it for
- 29:35Speaker 3: a week.
- 29:35Speaker 2: Are you kidding?
- 29:36Speaker 1: I think the only stretch we have is after OTAs. Yeah,
- 29:41Speaker 1: until training camp. There's about a month where you know
- 29:44Speaker 1: we are you know, we don't have to do it
- 29:46Speaker 1: every day. We don't do it every day. But if
- 29:48Speaker 1: some pops up, we do it. That's just that's the king.
- 29:50Speaker 1: That's all there is to it.
- 29:51Speaker 3: Yeah, last one here from the two five three step
- 29:54Speaker 3: Ash tell us about water polo. Well, you swim and
- 29:57Speaker 3: tread water for the entirety of the game and have
- 30:01Speaker 3: people climbing on you, scratching you, punching you, and throw ball.
- 30:04Speaker 2: That's water polo in a nutshell.
- 30:08Speaker 1: I think we need to spend some time on this
- 30:10Speaker 1: because that's in a nutshell. But I I don't like soccer.
- 30:17Speaker 1: I would, I know, like soccer if I grew up
- 30:20Speaker 1: with it like I did with baseball, and I understood
- 30:22Speaker 1: all the nitty gritty aspects of it, if I could
- 30:25Speaker 1: have come to get a good appreciation for some of
- 30:29Speaker 1: the skill that's on display, because to me, it looks
- 30:32Speaker 1: like you're just playing keep away, right, and it's pretty boring.
- 30:37Speaker 1: Actually it's really boring. But for those that grew up with.
- 30:40Speaker 1: I know, I know people have said that about baseball,
- 30:42Speaker 1: and I don't. I don't mind baseball boring at all
- 30:45Speaker 1: if I knew it better. But I have gone. I
- 30:47Speaker 1: have seen water polo at the Olympics. It is an
- 30:50Speaker 1: event that I have attended in person. Water polo at
- 30:53Speaker 1: the Olympics wasn't even the US, it was Poland versus Italy. Oh,
- 30:57Speaker 1: and it's a good matchup. I enjoyed my time there.
- 31:00Speaker 1: But and I kind of got the gist of how
- 31:02Speaker 1: the game works and how difficult it is to play,
- 31:07Speaker 1: But I don't understand any of the intricacies. Maybe we
- 31:09Speaker 1: should have like a study session.
- 31:12Speaker 2: I mean, I'd be happy to help, happy to help.
- 31:14Speaker 1: But yeah, do different players have different roles? Do you
- 31:16Speaker 1: have different positions?
- 31:18Speaker 2: Correct, Yes, you do.
- 31:19Speaker 3: You have a whole set in the middle, You've got wings,
- 31:22Speaker 3: you've got flats, and you've got point.
- 31:24Speaker 2: I don't know, yeah, exactly.
- 31:25Speaker 3: See, so yeah, everybody has positions and then you're it
- 31:27Speaker 3: all runs through the whole set in the middle, and
- 31:29Speaker 3: you've got people on the flat and the point trying
- 31:33Speaker 3: to drive down and you're swapping, so you're trying to
- 31:35Speaker 3: create the open position. I will say, versus soccer, you
- 31:37Speaker 3: get more goals scored in waterpolo than you do in soccer.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I enjoyed it. I didn't really know exactly
- 31:44Speaker 1: what was happening, but I did enjoy it. So maybe
- 31:47Speaker 1: we should do it tomorrow because Pucky will crap all over. Yeah,
- 31:51Speaker 1: well probably all right, coming up next, Thank you very
- 31:54Speaker 1: much for your questions. Tomorrow. By the way, we'll play
- 31:57Speaker 1: a round of suck with you. So so we'll do
- 32:00Speaker 1: that on tomorrow's radio program. Coming up next, the latest
- 32:04Speaker 1: on cal Raleigh as we've heard, and what the team
- 32:07Speaker 1: should do going forward with number twenty nine Sports Radio
- 32:10Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ R FM, Rick new Isel
- 32:24Speaker 1: at nine o'clock. Just wanted to check in with him.
- 32:27Speaker 1: You know, we miss him in the off season and
- 32:29Speaker 1: he's he's got a new job this summer or spring.
- 32:32Speaker 1: I should say, see how that's going. See the latest
- 32:36Speaker 1: thoughts on college football, and so we're gonna chat with
- 32:39Speaker 1: coach new Isole at nine o'clock today plus your cash
- 32:41Speaker 1: word of course. A Mariner's losing to the Houston Astros
- 32:45Speaker 1: last night four to three. I'm watching the replay right now, Ashley,
- 32:48Speaker 1: and they're I mean, Mariners are up. It's the fourth inning,
- 32:51Speaker 1: middle of the fourth inning, Bryce or into the fourth inning.
- 32:53Speaker 1: Brice just got through the fourth throwing a shutout.
- 32:57Speaker 2: Oh do you think they're gonna win?
- 32:59Speaker 1: Teams up on too nothing? Kyl just challenged a call
- 33:03Speaker 1: right by the narrowest of margins. And then Cal just
- 33:07Speaker 1: his fate. He looks healthy, face so full of hope,
- 33:10Speaker 1: like he think, can't wait for his next it bad
- 33:12Speaker 1: as opposed to dreading it. Uh. And then all of
- 33:15Speaker 1: a sudden, at some point in the game yesterday, everything
- 33:18Speaker 1: went south for the Mariners and for cal Ralegh. Frankly,
- 33:22Speaker 1: he missed a challenge. Later he heard his side again,
- 33:26Speaker 1: he threw. Uh. He slipped on a really important moment
- 33:30Speaker 1: in the game. He didn't get another hit the rest
- 33:32Speaker 1: of the way. I mean, how did that happen?
- 33:36Speaker 2: I don't know. I wish I had an answer. Frustrating?
- 33:39Speaker 1: Are you too? Where's I had an answer? Mariner's playing
- 33:43Speaker 1: again today, and they will play in a couple of hours.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Try to make it three out of four. Cal's not
- 33:50Speaker 1: in the lineup, Mitch is getting the start behind the plate.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Can Zone's dhing today against the right hander in Mike
- 33:56Speaker 1: Burrows hard not to read into. It could be just hey,
- 34:02Speaker 1: fourth day of a you know, road trip. You don't
- 34:05Speaker 1: have a day off this week. But when you saw
- 34:07Speaker 1: the grimace last night to the side and then he
- 34:09Speaker 1: removed himself from the game, has a little bit to
- 34:13Speaker 1: do with that, right, And you know, maybe Greg's right,
- 34:17Speaker 1: Maybe Softie last night was right. Maybe what was it
- 34:21Speaker 1: Ellie Ella Ella La? Maybe Ella from Palmer the Great
- 34:25Speaker 1: Softball Team is right. Maybe it's just time to give
- 34:28Speaker 1: him ten days off. But it needs a rest about
- 34:31Speaker 1: You are so anxious to get him on track because
- 34:36Speaker 1: it feels like that unlocks the season we were all
- 34:40Speaker 1: waiting for twenty one and twenty three right now. I
- 34:43Speaker 1: don't know how that game got away from them last night,
- 34:45Speaker 1: but it did. But it just doesn't it not feel
- 34:49Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, does not feel that we're
- 34:51Speaker 1: Cal being back to Cal away from being the team
- 34:54Speaker 1: that we thought they were going to be this year.
- 34:56Speaker 2: It's absolutely how it feels.
- 34:57Speaker 3: And so then, yeah, it was frustrating last night on
- 34:59Speaker 3: so many different levels because you'd had that promising game
- 35:04Speaker 3: and the offense just was awesome, and Cal had a
- 35:08Speaker 3: good game and things were looking up, and then we
- 35:11Speaker 3: got Bryce Miller back, and so we're like, OK, yeah, exactly,
- 35:16Speaker 3: and then it just it was as you said earlier,
- 35:18Speaker 3: it was like a tale of two games.
- 35:20Speaker 2: You had that delay and.
- 35:21Speaker 3: Then everything went to the down the crapper Mmm, going
- 35:25Speaker 3: with a poop theme if you hadn't noticed, I.
- 35:28Speaker 1: Get it, though, I get why you would associate poop
- 35:30Speaker 1: with what we watched last night. But but even he
- 35:34Speaker 1: had a night where it's like so full of promise
- 35:36Speaker 1: and we're like, all right, Cal's back. Oh, I know
- 35:38Speaker 1: he went over one. Oh I know he went over too.
- 35:40Speaker 1: But it's fine, it's fine. He's catching a shutout right now.
- 35:44Speaker 1: Bryce is in control of this sucker. He looks great,
- 35:46Speaker 1: he looks healthy, and then all of a sudden he
- 35:48Speaker 1: didn't and then he's missing challenges and then he went
- 35:50Speaker 1: over four and then uh, and then he comes out
- 35:54Speaker 1: of the game and he slips on the home near
- 35:56Speaker 1: home play all. It just unraveled last night. So maybe
- 36:01Speaker 1: that is the better course. Just give him ten days rest,
- 36:05Speaker 1: don't give him the opportunity to come and say that
- 36:08Speaker 1: he's good to go and wants to.
- 36:10Speaker 2: Play that try to play through it all.
- 36:12Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's just been the whole year's been out
- 36:15Speaker 1: of whack. I mean, going all the way back to
- 36:16Speaker 1: the WBC that was out of whack for him. Spring
- 36:19Speaker 1: training was out of whack for him, and he obviously
- 36:21Speaker 1: hasn't got on track this year as a hitter, and
- 36:25Speaker 1: so I don't know, maybe ten days to get him
- 36:29Speaker 1: on whack.
- 36:30Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get him in whack on whack.
- 36:32Speaker 3: I mean, especially they kind of were it half in,
- 36:35Speaker 3: half out with this oblique injury to start with, like, oh,
- 36:37Speaker 3: we don't know what we're gonna do, we'll see, we're
- 36:39Speaker 3: just feeling it out. Well, okay, but do you want
- 36:42Speaker 3: to keep doing that all year? Because clearly he wasn't
- 36:44Speaker 3: okay last night when he's grimacing and touching his side,
- 36:48Speaker 3: I mean making cal is a tough mffort. Yes, if
- 36:51Speaker 3: he's grimacing and touching his side, you know there's some
- 36:53Speaker 3: serious pain there.
- 36:54Speaker 2: He's not just doing that for show.
- 36:56Speaker 1: And this is not a team that is only cal Raley,
- 37:00Speaker 1: let's face it. I mean, he hasn't really contributed much
- 37:02Speaker 1: offensively so far this year and we're having around five hundred.
- 37:06Speaker 1: Julio's going a little bit. Josh has obviously come out
- 37:09Speaker 1: of his early season, funk Randy's having a heck of
- 37:12Speaker 1: a year. Luke's having a heck of a year. We
- 37:14Speaker 1: have enough to support him not being out right. Yeah,
- 37:18Speaker 1: I mean, it's not gonna fall apart if cal Raley
- 37:21Speaker 1: in has won sixty six lineup average is not in
- 37:24Speaker 1: the lineup.
- 37:24Speaker 2: Right now, and this is the time to do it.
- 37:26Speaker 1: And you brought back Mitch Garvery because he has such
- 37:29Speaker 1: a good relationship. And it doesn't stand out to me
- 37:31Speaker 1: that the pitchers struggle with Mitch behind the plate. I
- 37:35Speaker 1: think that they have a really good relation, working relationship
- 37:37Speaker 1: with him. He's not as good as throwing out runners,
- 37:39Speaker 1: that's for sure, but I mean he's not I mean,
- 37:43Speaker 1: they're both hitting one sixty, right.
- 37:45Speaker 2: I was gonna say, we gotta give him credit for
- 37:46Speaker 2: that bat in the.
- 37:46Speaker 1: Ninth and year.
- 37:47Speaker 2: That's true.
- 37:47Speaker 1: That's true, So maybe that is Maybe that's just what
- 37:50Speaker 1: you gotta do. And even if that's overkill, just to
- 37:54Speaker 1: protect him from himself full cal. You know, ten days
- 37:57Speaker 1: he gets back, he still got over one hundred games
- 37:59Speaker 1: to prove. Your best team in the American League West,
- 38:01Speaker 1: all right, coming up next, Rick new Isle joins us.
