• 1:06
  Speaker 2: with you as we get this Monday started a brand
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: new week. We got a lot of baseball things to
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: cry over. So we'll get to that here in a
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: little bit. I'll just say this, it is kind of
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: weird to Ashley over the course of training camp to
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: sort of see how the days are getting shorter. I mean,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: we actually have like artificial lights on here this morning
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: to start the show at six o'clock. And you know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: we started off when I was driving here and it
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: would still be a little bit light as I was
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: leaving the house to get here, and that was just
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: a couple short weeks ago, and here I am this morning,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and yeah, we're doing this by candlelight here today.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: That does seem kind of romantic, though very romantic.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Terry, Ryan and I have got lost in your other's
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: eyes this morning.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Well that's nice.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I like that for you guys. It's a great way
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: to stay art off on Monday.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they put there's a light on, which feels weird.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: That is crazy to me. Yeah, it's like it change
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: is real fast.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just keep it, just keep it dark, just keep
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: it dark. Like the light is reminding me. But yeah,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and then there are lights on the field already, so
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the practice field, and so yeah, it's changing, it's changing,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: ye know. Things change, Ashley. If you don't change with them,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: you get left behind.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: I think I heard someone say that once. Is it
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: like or that was more like life moves.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Real fast, kind of in the same.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Ball the ballpark, though.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I like it and it was inspirational before, and I
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: feel inspired again.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: A lot of wise people, a lot of wise people
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: say a lot of the same things, and they just say,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I'm a little bit differently, man, what happened?
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Well, that makes sense. Yeah, a lot of people have
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: a lot of wise thoughts.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: How was your weekend? Everything good?
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Everything was great.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: It was relaxing, it was productive, it was yeh, can't complain.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: What about yours?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, it was pretty yeah, I think so. Yeah. Friday
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: was yeah, I'm trying to remember. Friday was kind of boring,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Saturday was kind of alcohol y, and then Sunday was
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you don't get ready to go back to work kind
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: of stuff. That's kind of the way the work weekend works.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: But here we sit on this Monday ready to let
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: it rip again, and we got an awful lot of
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: things here to discuss with you today, and it probably
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: begins and ends with our baseball team. My goodness, what
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a what a tale of two weekends because certainly, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I get the frustration from a lot of Mariners fans,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: they just want the organization to deliver them at least
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: a World Series participant, and certainly at some point a
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: World Series champion. And when you've waited fifty years and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you're carrying the moniker of the only team in the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: sport that has never gotten to the finish line of
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: a Major League Baseball season, Yeah, there's this mountain of
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: resentment that certainly has built up, even though you do
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: have to admit that along the way, you've enjoyed some
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: things and you've grown to love some things about this organization.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: And one of the real issues is, you know, the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: promotions and the bobbleheads and the ceremonies, and the way
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: too much attention paid to the mid nineties team with
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Junior and Bunior and Edgar, and they can't get past it,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: even though they never even made it to the World Series.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: It's a bone of contention for a lot of people
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: out there, and I get it. I understand where you're
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: coming from. That said, and I think Softy talked about
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: it a lot. Last week. I talked about it. Ian
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and I talked about it here at our set last Friday.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can't really blame a personal public relations
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: staff for stop trying to make their organizem look good.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: To stop job, yeah, to stop trying to get people
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: to come into the ballpark even when the team is struggling.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And I certainly you can't blame an organization. And it's
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: fifty years of history and they have put together some
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: history from putting together at some point in the season
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: some type of ceremony, which is what occurred over the weekend.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: And quite frankly, it was spectacular.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: It did a wonderful job with it Saturday.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I mean it was almost perfect, the way that it
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: was constructed, the precision with which was executed, the number
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: of former players that they got to participate, the joy
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and the players that were on the field, and how
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: much they certainly seem to not just enjoy it, but
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: seem to love it. They Rick riz announcement that he's
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: going into the Hall of Fame, and the fact that
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: most of the players, it seemed, were elated for the announcer,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the broadcaster of the team to get into the Hall
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: of Fame. I mean it was amazing. I mean, I
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: did not grow up here. I did not have the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: fifty years that a lot of you, or if you're
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: not fifty years old, you've known the Mariners your entire life.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: So I didn't have a lifetime of it or fifty
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: years of it to fall back on. I certainly, as
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a baseball fan, know a lot about baseball history. I
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: knew all the players that were being introduced on Saturday,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: even if I didn't watch them on a game by
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: game basis like so many of you did. And so
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: certainly the ceremony was just amazing. And I was even
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: brought Ashley to tiers about six times. Now four of
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: them were because OFZ, but I was brought to tears
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: like six times, or at least at least brought to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: emotions of on kind during the ceremony. And so we
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: got to first give them credit for what was pretty
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: difficult circumstances. This team that was supposed to go to
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the World Series, according to a lot of different experts,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: not just me Twitter followers, not just me, but supposed
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: to be really good this year even if they didn't
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: go to a World Series. We weren't supposed to be
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: four games under five hundred heading into the weekend this weekend,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: that's for sure. I mean they were counting on this
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: team being good. That's why they scheduled it for August,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: because they weren't expecting the team to be at its
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: lowest moment while they were trying to celebrate fifty years
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: of Mariner's history. But if you did separate yourself from
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: the way that the active team is playing and disappointing
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: us with every game that they take the field, and
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: could just enjoy the ceremony on Saturday, there way Actually
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: you couldn't have enjoyed what you watched Saturday before the game.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was awesome, and I also was
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: got emotional.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: I mean just watching it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: We sat outside and got to enjoy the one. It
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: was a nice day on Saturday, so anyone at the
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: ballpark was having a great you know, just the weather
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: was perfect.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: And then you've got this introduction.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: And I was I found myself on the edge of
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: my seat several times too, because like, when a Rod
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: came out, are people gonnaoo him?
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: How are they going to receive him? I was very
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: curious about that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: And then you know when they had the Big four
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: walk out from center field, I mean, how could you
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: not get a little emotional watching the four of them
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: walk out together and then with the Rick Rizz thing.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, the whole thing was so well done, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: it is amazing to me. I understand the frustration with
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: the way this team is playing.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: I am a lifelong Mariners fan. I am frustrated. I
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: am also able to separate what happened before the game
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: on Saturday with the actual on play performance, and it
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: seems like a lot of people can't. Their frustration is
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: just so great it takes over every aspect of Mariners baseball. Well,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: the last fifty years are still something to be celebrated.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: And does that mean that you know, we're good with
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: just celebrating the last fifty years and not trying to
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: accomplish more.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: No, not at all.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I was hoping that all of it was going to
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: translate to something on the field and these guys were
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: going to get a kick in the butt that they needed,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: and it didn't work well.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Even Alvin Davis, who was chosen to speak on behalf
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: of the players brought this team up, tried to use
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: it as a motivational tool. And that's not just a
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: former Mariner. That's mister Mariner, and he has a role
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: in the organization and he's with them every spring training
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and he's become a mentor and an advisor to nearly
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: everyone on this roster. But he used part of his
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: speech to motivate the troops. So the two do get entwined.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: There's no question about it. And I'm not sitting here
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: offering any kind of criticism because, as I said, I've
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: been here a fifth of the time. Some of you
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: have been following this team as closely as you have,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: and I'll be honest, I got done with Friday's frustration,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and all I really did Friday night was to make
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: sure I'm in front of the television to watch the Mariners.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: That was like my motivation for the evening, And as
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: soon as the game was over on another lackluster offensive performance,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I turned it off completely, forgot about the home runner,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: talked about it all week long. You know, have two friends,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: people that I consider friends, that are involved in the
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: home run derby itself, and I chose not to go.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I chose not to go to either of the event.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Part of it was certainly, hey, this is a lifer.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: This is your weekend, not somebody that moved here eleven
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: years ago. This is your weekend. And then part of
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: it also was Ashley Man this interm marriage between how
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: frustrated I am with the team and having to sit
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: there and watch ceremonies. I was just exhausted from it,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: and and so I didn't go at ten and then,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: believe it or not, I was so disappointed with Friday
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Night and the result of Friday Night, I just turned
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: it off. I turned it to The Agency, which is
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: a show that Ashley turned me on too, and I'm like,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna fall asleep to this and get a good
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: night's sleep tonight. That's what I'm gonna do. And so
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I turned that on, got into bed, and that was
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the end of my Friday. And I didn't even remember
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: until I saw your personal tweets in the morning talking
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: about how great the home run derby was. But even
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: that was was sensational from what I gather, I did
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: not watch it, but I mean when a pitcher hits
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: three home runs and Bucky starts it.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Off, you know, yeah, it was fun.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And and he gets this big giant embrace from
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Buner and Griffy as he's coming off the field for
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: goodness sake, because I think there was a little bit
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: of it, are we gonna is anybody gonna hit a
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: home run?
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I think there was a little bit of that, and
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: for him to get it started, and so that was
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: even a spectacular event. It turned out better than I think.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I was there when the at spring training, when the
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: pr staff, when the figureheads were discussing whether or not
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: it was a good idea or not. Yeah, I was there,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and whether or not they would feel they could get
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: full participation, if they could get six or seven old
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: timers to come back and participate. So there was some
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: apprehension as to whether or not to even do it
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: before the season got underway, and considering how apprehensive they
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: were at the time, and then how well it turned out,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: even that was a successful event which allowed the Mariner
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: fan to kind of forget about the team woes on
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: a Friday night and they really enjoyed themselves Saturday, same thing,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: really enjoyed themselves, plus of a ceremony once again by
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: an organization that does that story sort of thing so well.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: But it just does get measured against the frustration with
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: how poorly this team has played all season long, and
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: right now Ashley, they're playing as bad as they have
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: at any point this season.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's ugly, I mean, and that I do feel like.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: It's you know, when you go to when you're dealing
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: with difficult parts of your life or different things where
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: there's a stress in one and then there's you know,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: other things you've got to focus on. They tell you
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: to compartmentalize. Right, you've got to focus. You've got to
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: come to work and you've got to put your workout on,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: and you've got to be president at work, and you've
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: got to get this stuff done. You can't let the
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: other stuff affect what you're doing at work. That's how
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: I feel about the Mariners. I am compartmentalizing. I am
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: looking at that stuff and it gives me at the
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: actual game and I get a terrible taste in my mouth.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: I have ended every game all week, all weekend long
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: like ugh, gross, I hate this, Like, at what point are.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: We going to figure it out? You would see glimpses
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: of these moments.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, these guys wanted that Cal Rawley George Kirby
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: where they're both going for the ball in foul territory.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: They want to win, but something is happening and it's
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: not coming together. But I compartmentalize that, and then you know,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: these celebrations over the weekend, and that home run derby
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: was so well done. The guys looked like they were
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: having the best time. I had had texted with Ryan
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: and with Bucky. Both of them said it was so
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: much fun to be there and they just loved it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: And it is a cool thing for people who have
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: played on this team to be able to come together
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: and have a reunion of sorts and celebrate the fact
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: that they all played for this team and it isn't
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: about what is happening on the field. Was it hard
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: to get yourself motivated to go watch the home run
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: derby on Friday?
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: After that game? Yeah, it was a little rough, but
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: I turned it on and they did such a great job.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: By the end of it, I was like, all right,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: kind of you know, just it left me with a
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: not a good taste in my mouth as terms of
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: the on field product, But like I was, I genuinely enjoyed.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: It was out there DJing and you know, I just
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: thought they did a great job with it.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: You had to separate it in order to enjoy it.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: But it was hard to separate it. Yeah, Like I said,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I could have been in attendance, and I don't have
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: the fifty years you guys have. I could have been
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: in attendance for either of the nights, both of the nights,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: and there was something about it like I'm not gonna
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: do it. I'm I mean, they're right now. I just
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I don't want to. I don't want to be a
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: part of that, even as somebody that is just watching.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: And then as the game, as the events came on,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I was even reluctant to do that. Like on Friday,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I was reluctant to go and even watch it. I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: mean Friday, I didn't even think about it when the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: game was over, and Saturday I was even reluctant to
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: even turn it on. And that's that's the truth. But
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: then once I did, it's like, my goodness, they this
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: is just an asterclass on how to do a ceremony.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: This is spectacular. And I'm glad that I did. And
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I know you were glad you watched the home run derby,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: So you gotta be able to separate the two, and
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I hope that you were able to because I think
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you would have enjoyed both of the events Friday and Saturday.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: If that were the case, I think you would have
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: enjoyed them thoroughly. But it certainly does not take away
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: from what happened on the field. Once again, not just
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: offensive woes, but just an offensive drought is taking place
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: right now with this team. They've had offensive woes all
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: season long. They are in the midst of an absolute
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: drought right now, and it does not look like they're
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: gonna turn it around. Doesn't mean they won't. Baseball's crazy,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: It doesn't mean they won't. I mean, we've watched them
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: go on twelve game winning streaks pulled out of the
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: fire before here in the last five years. But that's
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: probably what it's gonna take at this stage in the process.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: You're probably gonna have to have like a miracle twelve
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: game run like nineteen ninety five in order to pull
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: this thing off right now. And I'm not saying they're
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: not capable, but it's as low a point as they've
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: certainly been at all season long. Seven games under five
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: hundred for the first time this season, and all the
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: things that they have not done well this season, those
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: areas that they have come up short all season long,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: they're worse at right now today than at any point
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: this year. So it's looking very grim. It's gonna be
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: hard for me to sort of put a shine on
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: it in any other way. But it's it stinks when
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: you can have a ceremony like you had on Saturday,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: a feel good fifty years celebration for an organization that
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: has never gone to the World Series, and you can
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: somehow distract people from remembering a lot of the negatives
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: about this organization, particularly what's going on right now, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: then for a moment, for an hour, you provide this
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: tremendous feel great, not feel good, feel great celebration that
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: allows everybody to kind of forget about the way that
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: the team's playing right now. And then that same magical evening,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Ashley ends with the players getting booed unmercifully and having
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: things thrown on the field for how terrible they are
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the It's just a terrible feeling. It's
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: an awful feeling. I mean, you mentioned like, do you
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: even want to watch the game on Sunday? I didn't
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: want to, but I was like, but I have to.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: And this is my problem. I keep coming back every
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: time because I do feel like this team does have
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: what it takes if they could just find that spark.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: But where is that spark coming from? And how often
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: is it that we think we're gonna see that spark?
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: And there's always something, I mean, Josh Naylor single handily
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: trying to will the team to a win. You just think, Okay,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: you see this guy out here, he's gonna he's going
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: to try to help you get this win.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: But then nobody else can do anything.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: And I'm just isn't that crazy? Yeah? I just like
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: every game it's like that.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: It's exactly and that's what's so frustrating. Like, and I
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: know that they're frustrated. I know that they're not like, well,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Josh is going to do it first guys, We're fine,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: we don't need to do it.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: That's not what's happening.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: But it is just baffling that you can watch this
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: team over and over and over and over again and
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: you're just watching the same thing. And I kind of
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: started to think to myself, well, am I the insane
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: one here?
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: I am?
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, Cole Young was yesterday. Cole Young did everything right,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: tremendous defense, tremendous hitting. Last night and no one else,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: none of the other eight picked him up. And so
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: that's the type of season that it's been, and it
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: is maddening, there's no question about it. All Right, let's
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: find out what's on tap for our Monday show.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: This is What's on Tap, brought to you by Emerald
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: Queen Casinos, bringing you the best in live music, entertainment, dining,
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: in gaming. Emerald Queen Casinos, always entertaining for more info,
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: is it Emerald Queen dot Com.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Tampa sweeps the Mariners over the weekend, so four to one.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: The loss on Sunday. We'll recaptain that in Mariners Morning
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: after here at the bottom of the hour. The team
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: has the day off. They head to New York to
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: take on the Yankees starting tomorrow. We'll have more of
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: a preview on that front on tomorrow's show. Fifty six
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: and sixty three means they're seven games under five hundred
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: for the first time this year. This is the new
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: official low point. But they do have a shovel and
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: they keep digging deeper. Four games out in the division,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: which is still still easily surpassed with the amount of
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: times that they amount of games that they have remaining
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: but certainly they are not playing like a team that
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: is about ready to gel three and a half games
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: out in the wild card. As well, the Mariners weekend
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: filled with the trementous you know, smiles and nostalgia and
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: all those good things, also highlighted Rick riz being announced
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: as the next member of the Mariners Hall of Fame,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: and it was of course great to see that Seahawks
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: training camp. We will discuss that today quite a bit.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell's gonna join us at seven five, Emmanuel Henderson's
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: gonna join us one of the rookies at six forty
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: five this morning. But it is game week, so a
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: little different to twinge to our coverage here this week.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: The Dallas Cowboys will be in town Saturday to start
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: the preseason. Of course, preseason football games get started on Thursday.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Seahawks don't ploy though, until Saturday. Second episode of Hard
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Knocks tomorrow. I have a feeling we're gonna learn a
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: little bit more about Jadarian Price's injury that is keeping
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: them out of practice quite a bit. We'll also ask
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Greg about that, and we got to find out what's
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: going on with this Terry and Arnold's story, because this
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: is this is a significant piece of this weekend's training
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: camp news former detroit lyon former first round draft pick,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: somebody that the Lions wanted to build defense around. But
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: he's facing charges that could send him away to prison
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: for life.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Eight of them. Eight charges.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: There's that. So what's going on? Why are the Seahawks
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: doing this? We'll talk about that later on in the show.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: And of course, Husky's camp continues as well as we
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: count the days till the start of the season, the
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Apple Cup, which starts the season on the sixth. All right,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: so that's what's coming up today. On the other side
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: of the commercials Mariners Morning After. It is a recap
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: of yesterday's latest disappointment. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Hi Brian by Bryce.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: Who wouldn't love that? Who wouldn't love that?
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: By the way, guys, don't forget your vitamins.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, take those on the road with you. All right,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you all. It is a Monday, and yes, uh,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: this is what we do after a Mariner's game. We
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: never skip a beat. We have Mariners Morning After. It's
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: our post game show and out or tunity to deliver
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: you a eight minute postgame show, but we just do
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: it the day after the game. We call it Mariners
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Morning After, a highlight, a sound bite, a preview of
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: what's going on tonight. And let's go back to those
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Mariners who took on the Tampa Bay Rays. A good team,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: no doubt, best team in the American League record wise,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: and man, there are a few things you wouldn't mind
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: stealing from them, you know that hole putting the ball
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: in play and putting pressure on the opposing team pretty
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: much from the beginning of the game to the end
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: of the game. And even though they're not overworldly talented,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: they just go out there and out baseball you nearly
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: every game that they play. And that's what happened this weekend.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: The Mariners could not get their offense going, and the
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Rays, just like a swarm of gnats, just
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: kept coming at you throughout the course of the three
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: games and scratched out just enough runs. And so you
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: go into Sunday trying to find your offense, and you
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: thought maybe early on that was going to happen. Taylor
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Ward hits one off the wall, ends up with a triple.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Cole Young follows up with a clean single into the
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: outfield to bring home Ward and Wi La, you're up
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: one to nothing. Problem is, the Mariners did not score
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: another run against Ian Seymour and company, and that just
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: allowed the Tampa Bay Rays to wait out Emerson Hancock
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: and eventually they loaded up the bases. Liam Hicks, one
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: of the newcomers for the Tampa Bay Rays, comes to
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: the plate in the sixth inning, and it doesn't take
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: much sometimes sometimes it just takes putting the ball in play.
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: I would say at the bucket, this drops in for
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: a base and Diz is into score. Simpson is coming
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: around now, and a soft base hit from Hanks works
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: out for a two run double, and the Rays now
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: in front four one.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: That's Aaron Goldsmith with a depressed call or the depressing
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: moment in the game. And yeah, it wasn't hit well,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: and they walked cam and Arrow in order to face him,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: and he just sort of duck snorted it down the
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: left field line, scores two and at that point four
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: to one. I think I can speak on bealf of
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: everybody listening when this team falls behind three runs. Unlike
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: years in the past, even years in which they struggled offensively,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: there still seemed to be a chance that you could
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: come back. It does not feel that way this year, Ashley.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: When this team falls down two or three runs in
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: the middle of the game, it feels over And I
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: don't really recall the last time that they proved us
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: wrong about that.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I do feel that as I'm watching the
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: games too, I'm trying to will them to do something.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: It's like, if we.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Send enough energy through this television, I swear we can
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: all do this together.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: That's that's how I am watching the games, Like, come on, guys,
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: I'm sending it your way. Please do something. It's like
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: an extra stress and it just I don't like it.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: No, it doesn't work. I can go ahead and tell
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: you to stop doing that. Okay, it's kind of a
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: waste of your.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Time, so it's never gonna work.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Well no, it's never ever ever going to work. That
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: will never be the reason. But okay, I don't want
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: to tell you how to fan.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, probably saves me a lot of stress though if
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: I stop doing it.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: I think it's your family that thinks you're weird, probably
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: never had the heart to tell you.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: And the thing is too, I think it's a subconscious thing,
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: like I don't sit there thinking like, Okay, I'm gonna
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: do this and we're gonna win. It's like I'm trying
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: so hard to just like they've got to have something
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: in there.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Where is it? It's like in Hook, you know, like
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: when the kid looks in Peter's eyes. There you are, Peter.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: I'm just trying to find Peter Man.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you mean one of the great fantasy novels of
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: all times? What you're talking about that one?
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there you are, Peter.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I want that.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: I want the Mariners to have that moment.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, Tampa winds over Seattle. All they need is just
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: a little ferry to sprinkle dust on them whenever they
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: need to fly, and we'll have We'll fix this thing
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: in no time. All right, done, Tampa winds it till
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: four to one your final scores. They complete the sweep. Yesterday,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: the Mariners managed just four runs all week in long
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I do agree with Aaron's take he said, there's nothing
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: looks less wait. Struggling offenses sort of give you this
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: impression that they don't care. Like it just feels depressing
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: when it's game after game and you're waiting for offense
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: and they cannot generate it. And as you mentioned earlier,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: it's nothing to do with effort or whether or not
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: they care enough. They do, but they're there, I think,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: the exact same way that we are right now. And
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: this is unacceptable, and that is when they fall behind,
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: they think it's over. Yeah, I mean, they've lived it,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: and so there is a difference between how they start
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: a game and when they fall behind in a game.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it can feel like they don't care when
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: they don't score runs. But I do believe that they
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: don't carry energy once that they've dropped, and I think
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: that that reflects directly on their leader. And I felt
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: that way for quite some time. Dan Wilson looks to
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: me like a guy without answers. He spoke after the game.
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah, difficult day, difficult series.
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: You know, I thought it started out with a bang,
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: you know, lead off triple and and then Cole getting
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: him in.
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: You know, it looked like we were off to a
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: good start.
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: And uh, you know, second inning, continue to add the
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: traffic and and you know, just weren't able to get
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: the big hit, and you know, things kind of required
• 28:56
  Speaker 9: after that, and uh, you know I thought.
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: Emerson, you know, be battled. You know, they put up
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: those stuff at bats.
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: They you know, uh, put a lot of pitches on,
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: you know, followed off a lot of stuff.
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: You know they did. You know, they went after him.
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: Hard, got his pitch count up, and and but you know,
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: he hung in there and and I got out of
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: some jams, you know, turned it over to the bullpen
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: and and you know, uh kept it, kept it close
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: enough and and uh, you know, again just not able
• 29:22
  Speaker 9: offensively all series.
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: Really to to get too much going.
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: And you know, uh, as we've talked about, you know,
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: that's what we've got to make. We gotta we've got
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: to be able to define our consistency.
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: There's the offense quite lost.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: The willis you have to line up around other than
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: they're getting instruct or what's left?
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: Where do you do from here? Well, you know it's
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: again it's not for lack of work. These guys are
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: are putting into work.
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: You know that they're putting in the time that's necessary
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: and and that they're coming out prepared, and it's just
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: you know, we're just not seeing it on the field,
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: and and uh, you know it's it's a very frustrating time,
• 29:59
  Speaker 9: no question.
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: And but you know we've got to keep pushing me.
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: You know, we've got you know, we've got to find
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: a way. And you know that's really what it boils
• 30:11
  Speaker 9: down to, is finding a way.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Well, it's four and a half months to this. They've
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: never had any time this year had a consistent stretch
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: of hitting. I'm sure it's in them. Like I've said before,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: every team in Major League Baseball at least has a
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: ten games stretch where they get hot, and this team
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: has not done that all season long. So maybe it's
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: still to come. They're gonna need it. At this point,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Dan Wilson, to me, looks like a guy without answers.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: He seems completely lost in his bullpen decisions. It doesn't
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: help that Bizardo is struggling and Ferrera is now struggling
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: as well, and Gabe Spire was suspended because we decided
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: to throw at somebody and try to exact personal revenge
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: rather than try to win a game the other day,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: So there are some things ACKed against him from that standpoint.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: He also doesn't seem to have one idea on how
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: to score runs other than waiting for a three run homer.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: There is never any attempt to sort of do it differently,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: and then on top of it all the same humdrum
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: excuses after every single game. And so we'll talk more
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: about Dan Wilson, somebody whose job I called for coming
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: out of the All Star break. It has not gotten
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: turned around. If anything, it's gotten worse since that time.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: And yet a lot of people believed that the reason
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: that he wasn't being fired was because of the fiftieth
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: celebration over the weekend, where he was in part going
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: to be honored. Well, that's now in the rear view mirror.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: I do wonder if the Mariners, if Jerry, if Justin,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: if John would be so bold as to make it
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: obvious that that's what they were waiting on, would they
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: do that. You've got a day off to day before
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: you travel to New York and face the Yankees, and
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: right now they need some sort of spark that probably
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: is not gonna come from within at this stage. So
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: I doubt they're gonna do anything. But again I would
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: say I'd do it, but I've been I've already been there,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: I've already come to that party, and I was and
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: I was not satisfied by by the decisions that were made.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that a little later on in
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: the show. Coming up next, Emmanuel Henderson, one of the
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: rookies here at camp for the Seahawks, will join us
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: at our set. We'll get to know him a little
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: bit on Sports Radio ninety three point three kh a RFM.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, then you probably had a really crappy weekend.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he enjoyed the weather. You maybe got outside, had
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: a nice meal of food in the sunshine. That's always fun.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: Super important to have a meal of food in the sun.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: I love having meals of food in the sun, or
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: even better in the shade while the sun is out. Yeah,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: we that's any better experience.
• 33:01

  Speaker 10: take that to a different level here in the big leagues,
• 34:21
  Speaker 10: I'd probably say. But you know, everything's been going amazing,
• 34:23
  Speaker 10: you know, getting getting opportunity to go out and compete
• 34:27
  Speaker 10: easing every day and get better and grow every day.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: So it's been amazing so far.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, very good, very good. Nobody's been a jerk to
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: you at this point.
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: Everybody's been cool.

  Speaker 7: You know.

  Speaker 10: the room, So it's been going amazing.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: All right, great, Emmanuel Henderson, our guest Kansas wide receiver
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: slash kick returner, slash demon on special teams. That's how
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: you've been described to us. What is it about special
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: teams that you love so much? Because you gotta love
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: it if you're gonna play it as fiercely as you
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: play it.
• 34:58
  Speaker 10: I'm well, definitely, you know, I want to be here
• 35:00
  Speaker 10: today without special team, you know, So I gotta you know,
• 35:03
  Speaker 10: coming in as a young guy, you know, I gotta
• 35:04
  Speaker 10: embrace it, you know, find a way to get on
• 35:06
  Speaker 10: this team, you know, and just do anything possible to
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: have this team win for sure.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: So what is it that? What do you feel is
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: the key to being great at special teams?
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: You know, just taking those small details.
• 35:18
  Speaker 10: You know, Seriously, a lot of people might look over
• 35:21
  Speaker 10: on special teams, you know, think it's you know, not
• 35:23
  Speaker 10: cool or nothing like that. But I feel like it's
• 35:25
  Speaker 10: not opportunity to get on the field and you know,
• 35:27
  Speaker 10: show what you're gonna do.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: But you were a huge recruit coming out of high school,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: so obviously you got some athletic ability here and some
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: ability to catch the football. From what I understand, you
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: transferred to Kansas so that you could show pro scouts
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: that ability.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Do you feel like you accomplished that one hundred percent.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: You know, I feel like I want to be here
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: without it.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: So how are you being used?
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: Then?
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: In practice? Are you getting full wide receiver reps? And
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: then then you go to special teams? I say, I've
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: been doing both.
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: I've been getting some special team words and receiver what
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: work is same time.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: So it's been going good, very good, very good. Who
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: is in the receiver room the guy that's helping you
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: out the most?
• 36:07
  Speaker 10: Oh, I want to just say one guy. You know,
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: I lean on all the guys or the guys in there.
• 36:10
  Speaker 10: You know they all pitch in and throw little tips.
• 36:12
  Speaker 10: Had to help me out, So you know, I apply
• 36:14
  Speaker 10: autumn guys will help me for sure.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: All right, Are you able to withstand Devin Witherspoon's trash talk?
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Is that gone all right for you?
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: Well?
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: Definitely.
• 36:22
  Speaker 10: You know it's part of football. You know, he can't
• 36:24
  Speaker 10: let it get to your head. So at the end
• 36:26
  Speaker 10: of the day, he's going out there playing ball.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Is it part of football? Do you have to trash
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: talk to your teammates?
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: It's gonna happen. So, you know, I feel like it
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: helps you keep your cool for the game. So you
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: be prepared.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Are you good at it?
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: Definitely?
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Is there also a level though, like you probably were
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: the best in high school and then you get to
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: college and maybe we're the second best trash talker and
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: then you get to the pros. Are they even better
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: at this level?
• 36:52
