  Speaker 1: one sleep away from the World Cup beginning twenty twenty six,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and of course Seattle is going to be a major
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: part of that. As a matter of fact, KJR is
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: going to be a major part of that. We will
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: be airing the US Paraguay game Friday night at six
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: o'clock right here at Sports Radio ninety three point three
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: kJ R FM, Paraguay translated to guys.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, like a pair of guys.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Right, Uruguay? I am assuming is then one guhy.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Or just when you're calling someone, uh, it's like the
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: informal Uruguay.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: No you're Aguay, something like something like that.

  Speaker 1: years with the Seattle Sounders, Brad Evans now joins us
• 1:12

  Speaker 1: Good morning, sir, Good morning everybody.

  Speaker 4: How are we doing?

  Speaker 1: We're doing great? How excited are you for this tournament
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to get underway and for Seattle and yourself to have
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a part in the theater?
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Gosh, I mean this is a long time coming. I
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: mean I was nine years old in nineteen ninety four
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: when the World Cup was last held in the US
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: SO and I've missed out on a World Cup one
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: of the last cuts for the twenty fourteen after doing
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: all the World Cup qualifiers, so that was a bit
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: heartbreaking down to hear this one announced. It's finally my
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: opportunity to experience what it's like to have a World
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Cup in your country and to attend it is most important,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: right this is a one cented generation tournament that's going
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: to be held here and I'm beyond excited. And to
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: be involved obviously doing radio pre HAF and post with
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: you guys is going to be awesome to come in
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: every day and hopefully be in the stadium.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: For one of the matches. So I'm just excited.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: The Sounders have a ton of activations with the pier
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: and the barge, and we are working pretty much every
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: day for the next month and a half really, so
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: it's going to be busy, but also it's going to
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: go by in the snap of a finger.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I know of your wound, and I don't mean to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: pour salt into it, but I mean, I do want
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to ask Brad Evans that as a soccer player, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you're growing up in America and you you know, you
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: become a star at the high school level, and then
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you become a star at the college level, and then
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you play professionally, and then you're good enough that you
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: represent the US and several different competitions and yet the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: biggest tournament in the world for you to have come
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: so close to being able to play, and it's something
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you dreamed about, how your entire life. How
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: much does it sting to this that you got that
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: close and didn't get to participate.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Geez, you said you don't want to pour salt on
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: the wound, and a one minute diatribe of pouring salts
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: completely on the wound that happened ten years ago.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I got nothing to do it. But I think it does.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: It's said, I think it's an interesting story to tell
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: right now, and I.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Had to get it out of you some way, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: I think, yes, yes, it is a tough one. You
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: go through your whole career and then you kind of
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: get this opportunity. You know, my opportunity with the national
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: team came from really nothing. I was kind of a
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: fringe national team player to start. I was on a
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: basically a second team for the Gold Cup tournament in
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: two thousand and nine. So I got my feet wet there,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: but I just kept putting my head down and plugging away.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I was never the best player, never the most skillful,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: but my mo throughout my whole career and even as
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: a youngster, was just I had to outwork everyone and
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: determination on the field, and yes, you know, to see
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: your ultimate dream get cut short.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: At the moment, it didn't. It doesn't sting as.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Bad as it does now, understanding when you leave the
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: game that you left something on the table. You know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: in the moment, you still you know, you jump on
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: the flight and then you go back to the Sounders
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: and you've got a game the next weekend, so there's
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: not too much time to dwell on those big moments
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: at the time. But now you look back and you realize, wow,
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: it would have been great to, you know, tell the
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: kids one day that I participated in a World Cup. Yes,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: it would have been amazing, but that's the reality of sports.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Like you said, it's the percentage of the percentage of
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: the percentage of the percentage.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: It's so small.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: It's when I played, it was twenty three guys on
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: a roster out of you know, three hundred plus million
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: in this country. You know, however many million play soccer,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: you know, growing up, and then you kind of narrow
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: those numbers down. So it's a really big opportunity for
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: anyone in any place around the world.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: But you learn a lot of.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Lessons through through those defeats, I guess you could call them,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: and so it really allowed me to put my head
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: down and work hard. After that, I did get called
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: back into the national team quite a few times to
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: play in games, so my national team career wasn't done
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: at that point. It was really just the missed opportunity
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: of making a World Cup roster.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: How have you tended to deal with people that remind
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you of this painful thing, do you?
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I just kind of avoid them at all costs.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: They hang up, never go on their radio shows again,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: ever see them in person, and you know, tackle slide
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: tackle them.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Slide tackle there. You go, better be wear in your
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: shing guards. When I see you next week.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Brad Evans is with us. I threw a lot of
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: compliments in there, all time one of the all time sounders.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Great joining us that right here. It's going to be
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: a part of our World Cup coverage show for you
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: as well on Sports Radio ninety three point three kh
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: A R F M. All right, So how important I
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: mean we talk about this all the time, and they've
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: talked about this my entire life. The US needing to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: take that step forward to start being mentioned amongst the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: great country's in the world at this sport. So how
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: important is this tournament to the US reputation and the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: growth of its program.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Well, look, I think the US has taken leaps and bounds.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Is the awesome Vice documentary on YouTube. That's a series
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: that kind of talks about the US men's national team
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: and it's come up, you know since the forties fifties,
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: first participating in this tournament that started in nineteen thirty.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: The real shift was, you know, nineteen ninety four you
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: kind of got the buzz going in the US and
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: then MLS comes around in nineteen ninety six, and if
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: you think about the rest of the world, what a
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: head start they've had with their domestic leagues consistently for
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: over one hundred years. Right, you talk about the powerhouses Brazil, England, Spain, France,
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: these clubs have been around since the eighteen hundreds and
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: consistently not taking breaks. Like in the US you had
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: the NASL, you've had a league, you've had USL, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: now Major League Soccers had a good run for thirty years.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: That's the biggest thing. And when you look at this roster,
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: there's only eight players that are domestically from MLS that
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: are playing on this roster. The rest are playing at
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: the biggest teams in the world. You've got Ac Milan Juventis.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, you run down the list of guys playing
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: in France as well, some big, big teams.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: So you're starting to see a shift, albeit slow.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Now that doesn't mean that the rest of the world
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: has just taken a pause, right, Those players have gotten
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: better as well. So we're still playing catch up in
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: that respect. And now it's time for this group to
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: put it all together. With players that, like I said,
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: are playing and some of the best teams in the world.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: Can they do it as a team That's going to
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: be the biggest thing. I think when I.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Look at this team that there's a lot of fantastic
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: individual players. Ziggi Schmidt used to always tell us, former
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: coach of the Sounders, you can have one piano player,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: but the rest of us have to carry the piano.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: And I don't know if I see that in this group.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I see a lot of piano players, and when that happens,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: things don't tend to work out too great. If they
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: can figure out a way to have one guy be
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: the center point and the rest of them do the work.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: That's what Argentina does with Messi, That's what Portugal will
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: do with Ronaldo. That's why those guys are the best.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: But this US men's national team needs to figure out
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: a way to have one guy shine and the rest
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: of them do the work to advance. The tournament's a
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: little bit different though, Yeah, Christian polistic I think it
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: is the guy, okay, right, He's he's the he's the
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: golden boy, and if he can have a great tournament,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: he's gonna carry this team. Much like Landon, Donovan and
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Clint did. They found a way to play together. So
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: the tournament's a little bit different, though. You've got you've
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: got forty eight teams instead of thirty two, so you
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: will have eight third place teams that advance. So the
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: chances of the US advancing are pretty high. I suspect
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: they'll get at least three points in the group. That'll
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: that'll mean most most certainly that they advance into the
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: next round. That's when the real challenge starts, because if
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: you're third place finisher, if you're you're gonna end up
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: playing a first or second place team from another group.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: That's gonna be the difficult task. Gotta pick up points
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: group play.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Brad Evans is with US. So what do we know
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: about Paraguay going into Friday.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Paraguay is a strong team. You figure
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: when you talk about South America, you talk about some
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: of the best teams in the world consistently, I mean
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: the top three from South America, Columbia, Argentina and Brazil.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: All those teams have a chance to win this tournament.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: And now you're talking about a Paraguay team that had
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: to go through that qualification with those teams and get results,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: which they did. I mean, you've got an MLS player,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Miguel elmi Ron who played in the English Premier League.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: You kind of run down the list of what is
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: going to be a very technical but a very intense team.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: The last time these teams face there was a massive
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: brawl at the end. The US ended up winning two
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: to one. So there's a little bit of tension in
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: this game stemming from that one about a year ago.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: It's going to be a difficult challenge for the US
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: because these South American teams, they consistently play in their
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: big tournaments every two years. They've got Copa Sudamericana, which
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: all those players play domestically in massive games down there.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: So when they come together, there's something different about putting
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: on a jersey in a World Cup.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: I expect a low.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Scoring game, and I don't usually make predictions. I don't
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: like to, but I think US, being on home soil
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: in Los Angeles, I'm guessing two to one, just to
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: get off on a good foot, it'll be huge for
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: them to get three points.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Longtime sounders, Great Brad Evans, our guests here as we
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: get you ready for the World Cup. We're one sleep away.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: It gets started tomorrow Friday night. US has taken on
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Paraguay and Brad Evans is going to be part of
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: our broadcast month here in coverage of the World Cup
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, which we'll touch of course Seattle throughout
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the month as well. I mean, I'm not as big
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: a soccer fan, Brad as I am as some of
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the other sports, and so I don't know. I mean
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I always hear about soccer that that was a big upset,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: But when you're talking about a sport where usually the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: scores two to one, one to nothing, I mean it's
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: usually within a goal. I mean, how big of an
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: upset would it be if the US were to not
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: get out of their group, or if the US made
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: a deep run into the playoffs. I mean, what's the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: fine line between something that's in soccer that is expected
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: and something that is shocking.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, great point.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: I think the more shocking point of or storyline would
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: be the USA not advancing out of the group. I
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: think it's more realistic for these guys to make a
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: decent run in this tournament.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: It would be a success.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I think if the team makes the quarterfinals, I think
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: you could realistically look at the FIFA rankings, we sit
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: like seventeen, so if you're thinking quarterfinals, that's the top
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: sixteen teams you're kind of right on par with where
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: your ranking is in the world. Now, if they advance
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: past that, you know it's possible. For sure, they're going
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: to have to show up and show out and play
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: out of their minds. But I think realistically making it
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: out of the group isn't good enough for this team
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: and the occasion. Now, if this tournament was being played
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: somewhere else, I would think making out of the group
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: would be a plus, But these guys have higher standards.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: The head coach, Pochettino's coach some of the biggest teams
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: in the world at the club level. His expectation is
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: that he can take this team on a deep run,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: and he's a real thinker. He's not like a Jurgen Klinsmann,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: a prior coach who was just jovial and happy and
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: not really a tactician. This new head coach is a
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: pure tactician and hopefully he can get this US team
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: on the same page. But since the US is at home,
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: the expectations are much much higher. It would be a
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: massive disappointment and people would say, oh, yep, this is
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: typical the US. They get knocked out of the round.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: They didn't rise to the big occasion, we need to
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: have something happen like two thousand and two where the
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: US turned some heads and really you know, you beat
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: Portugal South Korea and then you make it to a
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: game against Germany where they didn't have var at the time,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: but what would have been a USA goal to find
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: themselves in the round of eight. That is the expectation
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: for this tournament and this group. Now there's a lot
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: of pressure with that, the whole country hosting. There's gonna
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: be an intense amount of pressure on these guys, but
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: they're used to it. Like I said, they're playing in
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: some of the biggest teams in the world where there's
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: probably even more pressure on a weekly basis all year long.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: With those teams, it's now up to them. And you know,
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: when the draw came out, everyone was clapping, Oh it's Australia, Paraguay, Turkey.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: But the flip side of that is all those teams
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: are thinking the same thing about playing the USA. I
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: don't think any of the other teams in the group
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: are saying, oh, that's a potential world champion. Everyone else
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: is thinking I can beat that team. And so this
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: group is going to be really interesting to watch because
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: I do think that they everyone has a realistic chance
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: of picking up points. It's going to be you know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: who gives up the least amount of mistakes in the game.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Like you said, two to one, one nil could be
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: a goal of PK and then it becomes a chess
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: match after that, just to survive to get through to
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: the next round.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Who has the best team in the world in your opinion?
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: On paper, I think it's France, they really do, and
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: they've they've showed that consistently. They're you know, their ranking
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: is number one, but then you know every now and
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: then it'll it'll fluctuate. It's Argentina at certain points, and
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: when you have Messi on the field, anything can happen.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: I think Spain has has shown that they can. They
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: can play like no other team in the worlds. There's
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: a reason why Spanish football has looked at as as
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: the pinnacle. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Athletico Madrid, the best teams
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: in the world right there in one league. I don't
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: know if one of those teams truly will win it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: It could be a dark horse tournament because there are
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: forty eight teams, but at the end of the day,
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: there's a reason why the best players on France Vain,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Brazil has an incredible chance to win this Argentina. There's
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: a reason why all those players play at the best
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: teams in the world. It's because they have a realistic
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: chance at winning this tournament.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: In our last minute, you know Soccer, you know Seattle,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you know them both very very very well. How do
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you think we're gonna do as a host here for
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the World Cup? What's the next couple of weeks? We ask,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: next few weeks going to be like here?
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I think Seattle will blow it out of
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: the water. You've got soccer hotbeds all throughout this country,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: and when it comes to international soccer, you've got Boston,
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: New York, Chicago who have real international mixes on a
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: massive scale. Right, We're talking ten million people in such
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: a small vicinity that is supercultural, multicultural. And then and
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: then you come over here to the Pacific Northwest, it's
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: it's it's a little bit different, but still multicultural. And
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: the Sounders have shown that with our fan base. The
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Reign have shown that with their fan base, and soccer
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: speaks the world's the world's game, and what the Sounders
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: have done and prepared on the waterfront. No one else
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: in this country has taken those steps to do something remotely.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: They'll have watch parties, yes, but when you've got this
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: barge that's been built out with a field on it
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: on the water, you've got the peer set up activations
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: every single day. Former Sounders, Legends, Rain Players, rain Legends.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Just it's going to be a massive soccer show. And
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: to be here in the Northwest where it will be
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: realistically cool, right the rest of the country is going
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: to be sweltering hot. It's just a fantastic opportunity to
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: show up, show out and show what we do up
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: here in our little upper left corner.
• 16:38

• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Everything is there everything Talaylop dot Com. All right, coming
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: on next, it's time for sup. I know we don't
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: normally do it at nine thirty, but we're looking for
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: your questions. You can ask Ashley a question myself. A
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: question could be about sports, it could be about you
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: can pride into our personal lives, whatever, you want to
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: do four nine four five one, But your question must
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: start with SUP, as in what's up? And then direct
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: it's at the person that you want to answer the question.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: If it's both of us, then it's both of us.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: But SUP is yours to play with? Next text line
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: four nine four five one. Sports Radio ninety three point
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: three kJ r f M. So, yeah, it's just sup
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: question mark, and so we ask you to weigh in
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: four nine four five one. You take control of the
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: programming here four nine four five one. Uh, sup as
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: in what's up? What's up? Ashley? What's going on with
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: block dot dot dot dot? So that's the way it works,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: So we don't normally do it here at nine thirty.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: So I figured I owe you to explanation here as
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: to what's coming your way. What do we have then,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: in terms of questions.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: We've got this one from the two five to three
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: except Chuck, I do you think Walter Jones would do
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: against Aaron Donald or Miles Garrett all in their prime
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: right now?
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Not too well. Walter's a little far removed from the game.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think, let's put it this way, as
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: well as anyone that's ever played the game. No, I
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: think he could handle Miles Garrett for sure, for sure,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the greatest left tackle, arguably against arguably the greatest right
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: defensive end. Yeah, I think Miles Garrett would beat him
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: on occasion, But most of the time, I think Walter
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Jones wins that. I mean, think about it. I mean,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: even when a record setting number of sacks is twenty
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: three over sixteen games, so that's just a little over
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: or seventeen games, that's like one in a third sacks
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: a game. So most of the time Miles Garrett gets
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: beat by the left tackle. And so if you have
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the greatest of all time, yeah, I think Walter Jones.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I mean he's not going to stop him every single time,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: but he's going to do a better job than just
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: about anyone that's ever played. Okay, that's fair. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Walter.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: In seventeen games, Garrett against Walter Jones, if they played
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: seventeen times against one another, I promise you Miles Garrett
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: would not get a record number of sacks, probably be
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: around eight eight.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be decent. Okay, So yeah, you do well.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Give him nine, which is more than most people got.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Again, Ry, Yeah, let's see, sup, Chuck, from the two
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: five to three. What is the biggest rift you've ever
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: had with somebody at a station, and has it ever
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: come to blow?
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Never has come to blows. I probably it was probably
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I said, I'd be honest about it. Probably
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the time with Bucky. Yeah. We got into a disagreement
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: with something one time and he kind of because Bucky's
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: very large and can be intimidating, and he kind of
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: like stared me down and I went off like a
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Roman candle, You're not going to do that to me
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: in the workplace. Uh. And he did not like that.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: But we ended up I think, in a better place.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: But it's always there, It's always in the back of
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: our heads. So that was probably the biggest rift that
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: we ever had.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Well it's purple sheet says, I Mean, if everybody got along,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: this would be a boring workplace.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got along. Well yeah, So I
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: didn't like him like trying to like intimidate me physically,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: and then he didn't like that some of the words
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: that I use.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's fair. Well, you brought up Bucky. So we've
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: gotten a lot of Bucky questions. We've got to sup
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Chuck and Ashley, where's Bucky? Can we get an update
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: on Bucky? We miss him?
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: And what's up with Bucky participating in the home.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Run derby but not showing up all the trees? Well, no,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: he's on medical leave. It's not that he's just not
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: showing up for work, right.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Right, I don't know. I mean, I'm glad it was
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: asked that way, because, believe it or not, people are
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: like angry with Ashley and I, Yeah, like we have
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: anything to do with this.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: And secondly, you do have to understand there are laws
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: that govern this there. With him being on medical leave,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: it means he can't really contact us, and we can't
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: really contact him because it would be seen as us
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: pressuring him. Even if we were just hey, we missed you,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: come back, it would be view it could be viewed
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: as pressuring him to return to work when he has
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: medical stuff and that's the reason that he's on leave.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: So he got an additional extension, so we weren't expecting
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: it to take place. From what we understand, it's nothing
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: to be concerned about, but obviously there are issues enough
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: that he needed another extension to the medical leave. So
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: we don't have really any information and we don't have
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: any troll over it whatsoever, and we really can't do
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: anything about it until he's off medical there, and we
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: have no idea when that will be, and we don't
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: know when that's going to be. So that's just where
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: we are. You know what, since it's been brought up,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: you know how they do things here when somebody's gone,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: we're not allowed to talk about him at all, right,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: So the fact that we keep bringing him up every
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: show should show you this is not one of those
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: scenarios for those of you that are accusing us of.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: That, Yes, of lying and covering things up. And his
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: ads are still running on the station just so, Yeah, his.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Ads are still running. So, I mean, there's a plenty
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: of evidence that suggests that this. You know, we're being
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: forthright with you about all of this. But yes, he's
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: been out for an extended period of time and we
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: don't know when he's going to be back, and I
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: really don't even know the severity to his reasons for
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: not being here. So we'll find out eventually, and as
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: soon as we have any information, we'll pass it along
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: There you go, Yeah, let's see with both of you
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: when you listen to other shows. Do you listen for
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: content or are you listening for like radio technical prowess.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, I lookstened for them to screw up so I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: can hold it over their heads.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: I listened like in the mornings on my drive, and
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: I listened so I can argue with them or be like, oh,
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: oh that's a good point. Oh come on, you idiots,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Like no, that's not you know, like I have my
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: own conversation with them back and forth. When I was
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: in the music stuff, I'm listening like, oh, well they
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: did that well or they.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Didn't do that well. How do I how could I
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: use that?
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's strange because I did not. I have not
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: always done sports talk radio. I got away from it.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I did comedy radio, music radio for a good chunk
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: of my career, and then I came back to sports
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: at the tail end. And so when I was not
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: a sports talk show host, I would still listen. I
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: would listen to sports talk radio, as you know, and
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I would get more angry then, like you're right, when
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: you are in the B business, you're just sort of
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: listening so that you didn't miss anything.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, make sure you're caught up on everything.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: You're supporting your teammates. You want to hear how they're
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: doing and how they handled said subject. And then you
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: also listen for, oh, I didn't think of that angle.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Either I need to have an opinion on that angle,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: or I need to either acknowledge it or counter it
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the next day, something like that. And so yes, you
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: kind of do use it as a scouting report, if
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you will, for your own show, and what you should
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: be talking about the next time that you crack the mics.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: And so those three things I would say combined. But
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you though, when I was in the car
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: as a funny morning DJ, you know, morning Zoo kind
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: of guy who was just trying to push the envelope
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: all the time with edgy comedy. And then I'd get
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: in the car and I listen as just a listener
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: of sports talk radio. Man. For some reason, I yelled
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: a lot more at the car, I did you idiot,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: what are you talking about it?
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Moron?
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: People listen to us. Oh, I'm sure from the two
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: of six up, Chuck.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: There's always a lot of debate about the best baseball
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: movie of all time, But in your opinion, what is
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: the worst baseball movie all.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Time worst baseball movie.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, mister Baseball wasn't great.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: It wasn't bad. I didn't mind that one so much.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: I would never put in the best category though, that's
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: the only one I could really think of.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: It might be man. I immediately thought the question was
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: going to be what's my favorite? What do I think
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: is the best? And that's Bull Durham, So I can
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: say that the worst baseball movie of all time? Oh boy,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I guess base What was the one with Napoleon Dynamite
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: and David Spade? Bench warmersh bench warmers, bench warm Not
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: that I watched it from beginning to wind, but I
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: saw enough of it that I'm like, I can't take this.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Wasn't There was basketball about basketball or baseball, and basketball.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Was actually kind of funny. But that's from the South
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Park guys. Yeah it was. It was combining the two.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: It was, yeah, we're gonna invent a sport that combines
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: baseball and basketball, got it? Yeah, so it was basketball.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Then they were the Beers I remember correctly. That wasn't terrible.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: I mean it was you know, it was one of
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: those like where there are ten fifteen really big laughs,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: and but for the most part it swung and missed
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: more than it hit.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, and let's see, I'm gonna grab one more here.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Gosh.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: And there's a lot of good baseball movies. I'll say
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: baseball and boxing do the best job of making movies.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like baseball movies the best in football movies.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of good football movies from the two five,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: three except Ashley and Chuck. How come you guys don't
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: do cross talk like the other shows? Do you just
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: figure you have too much to cover with the time
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: you have?
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: You know what that started with when I went to mornings,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Puck said he didn't want to do it, he didn't
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: really like doing it, and so I'm like, well, I'm
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: not going to force you to do it for sure.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: And then we created one last thing, and then one
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: last thing I enjoy. I think that's a great way
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: to close out every show. So there was talk about
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: maybe bringing it to our show, and I just told
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: our boss, I like, one last thing, I don't want
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: to do anything. I don't want to do cross talk.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's our little moment to all have something to
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: end on.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So so that was sort of it. It wasn't
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I didn't do it with Mitch. By the way, when
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I was doing Middays, Mitch didn't have me on, so
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't think it was part of the show. It
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: got suggested. Puck told me. That was one of the
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: first things he said, like, Hey, I don't want to
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: do cross talk, so if you don't, you don't want
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: to do it either. Let's just not do it. He
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: wanted to prepare for his show. I wanted to use
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: the last fifteen minutes prepare for his show. So we
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: never did it. So it never started. And then when
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: conversations began about maybe we should do it, I'm like, no,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I like one last thing to close the show. Yeah,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: we're going to stick with it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Love it. That's it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: So coming up next cross Talk on Sports Radio ninety
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: three point three KJRFN. All right, final segment of today's
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: radio program. And yes, we do one last thing to
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: close out our show. So what do you got ask?
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I have no patience for soccer complainers?
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: So you know we're I don't like to draw a
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: lot of attention to the negative people on the text line.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: We were just looking at text so it's kind of
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: hard to ignore this SOT right before we're going into
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Brad Evans. We get a complaint day before the biggest
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: sporting event in the world, and we're not even mentioning it.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Shameful reporting. Well, first of all, we're not reporters.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah true.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Second of all, we were literally in the break before
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: having Brad Evans on to talk twenty two minutes of soccer.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: So then I said, we aren't reporters, and you were saying, like, here, look,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Brad Evans is on right now. As I'm responding back,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: he said, you promised World Cup coverage, yet it's all Seahawks,
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Stanley Cup, NBA, no discussion of roster selections, no mention
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: of friendlies, no mention of game performance, anti soccer bias.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: So then I said, we had an entire segment yesterday
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: where we asked people what kind of soccer coverage do
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: you want? Like, because we aren't soccer experts, we aren't
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: soccer analysts, so I just would you rather us fake it? Yeah,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: that's what I don't understand, because then if we.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Do that, then you're not gonna like the analysis.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, then you're just gonna be mad.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: And so you guys don't even know what you're talking about, right,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: you're right, we don't.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: So that's why we're bringing in experts. And we have
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: asked the audience, the majority of the audience, what they
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: would like.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: And as for.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Your saying that we talked hours, we're talking hours of
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: the NFL off season, and that's a lie to we
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: have two segments of the NFL.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Officie.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, we're going to talk to the NFL because that's
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: what moves the needle. I mean, this is this is
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: we run a business here, Yeah, and the business is
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: that you have to satisfy your customers and you got
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: to get the most those people through the doors. So like,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a reason why we talk a lot
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: of football because it's what most people want to listen
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: to the longest periods of time. Yes, you know, there
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: is a reason that you know, Yes, there's a parfait
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: on the McDonald's menu board, but they're going to promote
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: their cheeseburgers.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Right, Okay, yeah, you can get all that.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're going to sell a lot of cheeseburgers,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: so they talk the most about their cheeseburgers. Okay.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: And also we talk more baseball almost like right now.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Well, right now, right now, but there's just more stuff
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: happening in the moment right now. Yeah, and we know
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: it better, so that's why that's happening. So exactly, I
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: don't tell you right now. We're going to cover the
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: World Cup as through our prism and it's just not
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: going to be a lot of analysis from from me, right.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: I'm not either. I'm not going to fake that I
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: know what's happening on the pitch.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I'm just not equipped for it, and you don't want
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: it anyway.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I watch it like a casual fan. That's it.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I might not even watch it.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Oh see, I will watch it.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: I do love World Cup, but I'm not going to
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: pretend to know the ins and outs and inticacies of soccer.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not. I don't, that's not that's stupid.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to close with this. You know Victor
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Woman Yamba can't wait to watch him play again tonight.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's thrilling, he's great for the league, and
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I do like him. I think he's just a well
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: rounded person for sure. I mean, this is a guy
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: that reads before every game, but he seems to already
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: be jaded by the entire American media process at age
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: twenty two. I mean, this is his first long extended
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: exposure to how the NBA is covered, and he already
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: seems to have had.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: It with it, Like he doesn't have a long way
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: to go.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: He doesn't even want to be a part of it.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: And this is probably somebody that's gonna be in the
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: spotlight for the next ten years if things go the
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: way he wants them to go. I mean, it took
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: about ten years for Giannis, for whatever reason, to have
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: had enough of it, and he went for from media
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: darling who suddenly jaded and angry. And I think about America.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I think I think that's what he's jaded and angry about.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: So if Wimby's already there at age twenty two, I mean,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: let's face it, it's French. They were kind of taught
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: to like look down their nose at us.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Well, yes here, I am right, but that's why. And
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: then Americans say French or snobs and things like that.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Right, but they're kind of taught that way, like like
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: our priorities are auto whack and all of that sort
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: of thing. He's reading before games and people in the
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: league think he's weird for doing it. So I don't know,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know where this is going to end up.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know how love much longer Wimby's going to
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: be lovable because it kind of feels like he's already
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: drawing his lines in the sands. I mean, he walked
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: away from Alisa Salters interview after Game three of the
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: NBA Finals, like just answered the question and left.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Well, that's just disrespectful.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean, we'll see, we'll see how he's
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: going to handle this going forward, but it looks like
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: he's already kind of drawing the line in the sand,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: like I don't want to deal with you people ever.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: All Right, we'll talk to you tomorrow at six am.
