• 1:01
  Speaker 1: It was. We didn't know if we'd ever see you again.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Well, it wouldn't have been because I wasn't ready to
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: come home, I'll tell you that much.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, is that right? Not because the trip was bad,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: just because the return.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Was a nightmare.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: You know you get to the end of your trip
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: and you're like, okay, I had a great time.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: I accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, good.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Had a great time with my friends.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Had a great time with my family.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Hung out with Don Ho.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we were like best friends.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Isn't he dead? Yeah. I'm not sure.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Me neither.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Probably should have asked while you were there.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I think the locals would know.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: I should have asked.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I should have asked.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: And it was like, it was relaxing. It was, we
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: went to the beach. We went to the pool.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, we, you know, we just, we had one
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: rainy day. We went shopping. We got everything done. Went
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: to a nice dinner at Sunset.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: Oh, nice.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: And then on the last day, we were like, all right, kids,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: it's our last day at the pool. We're going to
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: live it up.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: We stayed at the pool, had happy hour at the pool,
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: stayed until about 6 o'clock, showered, had leftovers, cleaned out
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: the fridges.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: And then the next morning, we woke up.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Met Sarah Marshall.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Yes, and then I forgot her.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: And then the next morning, we wake up, and I'm like,
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: all right, I'm going to start packing. Then I'm going
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: to go for a walk before we have to leave
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: because our flight didn't leave until 1245. And I thought,
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go for a walk after I'm packed,
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: and then I'll get that in, too.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: And we'll head out.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Just head out. Easy as can be. Yeah.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: What could possibly go wrong?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Nothing.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: As we're packing.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Not one thing.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Flight's delayed five hours.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Oh!
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Well, that certainly puts a different twist on the day.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: You know what? You could, with five hours in an airport,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you could watch... Nearly two baseball games now that we
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: have a pitch clock in that time. So that's a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: good way to kill. Or half a college football game.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: See, so those are the things that I was thinking
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: as well. Luckily, we weren't at the airport yet.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: So we were still at the hotel. So we moved
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: everything to one room, hung out at the pool again. Oh.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: And we thought, all right, well, we're going to leave
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: at this time. We got to get to the flight.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, joking.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Flight's delayed an hour.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: So now we got another hour. Flight's delayed a half
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: an hour. Okay, we got another half an hour.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Now we're really going to the airport. And boy, when
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: we get there, that flight better not be delayed again.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: And all was going well.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: We had our dinner, early dinner in the airport. We
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: get to the gate and they say, okay, we're going
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: to start boarding soon. And then the next announcement is
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: we apologize.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: There is a mechanical issue. The flight will be delayed
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: two hours.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: And everyone almost lost their minds.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: So then we go.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Now we get a new voucher for more food or drinks.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: So we go back to the restaurant. And this time
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: it's just a glass of wine because it was like,
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: all right, let's just go hang out and sip a
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: glass of wine for two hours. We'll get back on
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: this plane. Even though we were all thinking like, are
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: we going to leave in two hours? Sure enough, we
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: are not. Half an hour later, flight's canceled.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, gosh.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: So.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Then we went to the Hilton Garden Inn, four miles
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: away from the airport. Had a pool night.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Well, at least you're making the most of it. At
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: least you're not sleeping on an airport floor.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. We scrambled. Everybody figured it out.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: They were trying to put us on a flight through Oahu,
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: but that was going to leave in 27 minutes. And
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you know this, but you cannot
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: check a bag onto a flight that close to the
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: flight and it was all the way at the end
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: of the airport we're like we can't do that so
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: we book a flight for 6 a.m the next morning
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: we're like all right we're gonna be home by 2
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: 20 minutes later flight's delayed three hours.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh uh yeah there are a few things
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: i mean that i hate more that aren't criminal like
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: obviously i'm gonna go ahead and say mass murder yeah
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: or just murder in general i'm gonna put that i'm
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: gonna put that a higher on the list Uh, but, uh,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: in terms of non-criminal things, inconvenience might be the thing
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I hate most in life. And there is nothing more
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: inconvenient than what you went through.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: It was well, and then you've got three kids and
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: they're all tired and they.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Had two more kids since last I saw you. Oh
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: my gosh. Holy cow. Hawaii's magical.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: They were our friends.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Kids. Oh, okay.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: And they're all tired.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: But then once they knew, okay, now we can just
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: leave and go to a pool at the hotel, we're fine.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: But it was like sitting around the airport. And the
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: airports in Hawaii are very small. It's not like you've
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: got just a lot of space to roam around and
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: check things out.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: And in the restaurants, it's air-conditioned. But in the.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Concourses, it's open air, so you're hot. And everybody was
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: just tired at that point. And, yeah, we were all holding.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Our breath when we got to the airport yesterday.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: Like, I swear if someone comes on here and tells
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: us this flight is delayed— Oh, I.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Don't even this is ruining my love for drinking at
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the pool. Yeah. Yeah.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I'm never doing that again.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: But I'm leaving a really bad taste in my mouth.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: I will say the crazy or the most interesting part
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: of the whole thing was when we got on the
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: flight yesterday, they explained to us what had happened the
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: entire day before, which a lot of people don't do.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: That's not their responsibility.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And they said, so the flight was.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Leaving San Diego, had a mechanical issue over the ocean,
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: turned around. had to go to San Francisco, had to
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: stop there, have maintenance done on it. By the time
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: they got back in the air, they were coming in,
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: landed in Luhui, and blew two tires.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, so then they had to replace those.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know how good I'm feeling about their planes
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to begin with at this point.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Well, but they all landed safely.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: And so that's why they had to fix the two
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: tires when the plane landed here or in Hawaii. And
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: then they realized, oh, if we leave at this new
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: two hour time limit, our crew is going to time
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: out over the ocean.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: We can't do that. So that's why I can't say.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Well, if you can, I provide a silver lining for you.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm good.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Um, If you think you had it bad, Don Ho's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: been dead for 19 years. Okay.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: So he has had it worse. Although, you know what?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: What Don Ho wouldn't do to have his flight delayed
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: But is it bad, though, when you are such a
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Hawaiian icon that people don't know if you're alive or
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: dead anymore because your legend just lives on?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I think that's it. I think that's it. I think
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that it's not insulting that I didn't know that Don
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Ho had passed away. I think it's just I still
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to this day think of him. Yep. When I think
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of famous Hawaiians.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Him and Jack Lord. Y5O. That's about it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I thought you were going to say Jack Johnson.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: No.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Well, Jack Johnson could come to mind as well. Yeah. Well,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: hopefully the travel did not ruin your experience. I mean,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it looks like your hair is lighter. Yep. I don't
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: know if the YouTube people are picking up on this,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: but you do have the lights on in your studio,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: so I'm assuming you've got a little bit of a tan. Oh, yeah.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: No, I'm quite tan.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: But.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think it'll show up on YouTube. I'll look
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: like it's the dead of winter.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, the whole idea of doing this sort of thing,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I would imagine that you didn't just spend your whole
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: time touring to try to see every monument, every experience
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that there is, every theme park. I would imagine you
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: went there like an adult and you did... relaxing while
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you were there? So do you feel relaxed as you return?
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: Which is surprising even despite the fact that I gave
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: myself an extra day to come home and acclimate and
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: get everything sorted out and relax yesterday and missed all that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: We got home at 7.15 last night.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, gosh.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: So there goes that whole day of trying to acclimate.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: On one hand, good strategy because at least you did
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: give yourself the buffer. On the other hand, you didn't
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: get to use that buffer the way you wanted to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: use it. Right.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: But at least I wasn't panicking like, oh, my gosh,
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: can someone fill in for me and all that and
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: worrying about that. So that part, there was no stress
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: involved at all. It was just, all right, I was
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: ready to go home now. I didn't ruin a thing.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: It was great. Relaxed a lot. Read two and a
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: half books.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Walked every day.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Good, good.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Worked out every day.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: And you got back just in time because I had
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: gotten to the point where I truly, at this stage
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: of my life, hate Anders.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: Well, I was going to say kudos to you because
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: I saw all the emails that came every day after
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: the show, and they were all from Anders.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: And I thought, oh, poor Chuck.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I suffered. That guy is. I suffered greatly.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: That guy is really having to take one for the team.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I have so much more respect now for Ian. Wow. Because,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: my God.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's not saying a lot, because you didn't
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: have a lot of respect for Ian before.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: True, true.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: But now you at least have some.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have. That's true. I now register with some
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: level of respect now for Ian, because... That's awesome.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Woo-hoo!
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: That is a pain in the ass, that one.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: And he probably thought he knew a lot.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Know it all.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I'm Anders.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I'm young and smart.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Anyway, good morning to you all. Ashley. is back, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: we do have to discuss something baseball-related, because while you
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: were away, Cal Raleigh fixed his swing, or so we thought.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And then just, you know, you're the person that introduces
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: this element to the show. I know. And you knew
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: we were going to talk about this, but it created
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a whole new level yesterday because now I don't know
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: what role I played in this because I have not
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: been to a game in a while. All right.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: And so you are in Hawaii. Cal finds a swing.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Cal finds a swing on the verge of you coming back.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I go to my first game in a while, and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Cal flips to the right side
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: of the plate against Jesus Lizardo, and he looks more
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: broken than ever. That swing looked terrible yesterday. So I
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: don't know if he's just fixed the left-handed swing and
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the right-handed swing, which I thought had looked better than
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the left-handed swing, is still broken, or if he's like,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: He made some sort of monkey paw deal like, okay,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: voodoo guy, fix my left-handed swing and then you can
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: destroy my right-handed swing. I don't know if he had
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to take from one to hurt one to help the other.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: Maybe.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: If he made some sort of deal with the devil
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: kind of thing there. If you will just fix one
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: side of my... you know, swinging. Um, so I don't
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: know if this is a voodoo hex, if you're to blame,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: if he just felt that you were returning, uh, to
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the mainland, um, or if I showed up at the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: ballpark and ruined his juju, but you're the one that
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: introduced this element into our show. You're the superstitious one.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: So how are, how are you reading it as you
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: were finally flying back from Hawaii and 20 years removed
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: from Don Ho's death. And you're contemplating what was my
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: role in Cal Raleigh suddenly getting hot again and now
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: cooling off while I'm in midair and not knowing, because
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I'm just introducing this element, that I was at the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: game for the first time in a while. Who are
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you blaming? How do you slice up this blame pie?
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: What is your conclusion about how you affected Cal Raleigh
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: with your lack of presence and then your return.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: Well, here's my thought is first off, I was supposed
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: to be back on Tuesday and his swing was fine
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: on Tuesday. Right.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: So he didn't know my flight was delayed.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: He might have, he might have, he might have, um,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: his swing might've said.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: It might've, but I, I don't want to.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Do this, but you have to move to Hawaii.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: No, I definitely don't want to do that. I love Hawaii.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Couldn't live there. Um, my hair would be a mess. Um,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: It's Anders' kid's fault.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: It's Anders' kid's fault.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: It was his first game ever. First game ever. How
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: else do you explain it?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, man. I have been wanting to blame that child
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: for something for a long time.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: You have been to games.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: For years.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: You have been to games before.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I have been to games before.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: And you have seen Cal do well.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Has Austin?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: No.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: See?
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: No. So... That baby's only, what, six months old, and
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I've been wanting to blame it for something for years.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: For years and years.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and now here we have our chance.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Because I was still closer to Hawaii at the time
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: that this all was happening. I was watching it on
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: the plane, and then I turned it off. So, sorry,
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: I can't take the blame for this one.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, interesting.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: And I even thought about, like.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: The whole— I thought you were going to wear some
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: of this. And you have just decided not only to
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: pass the buck, you're going to lie it into the
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: chubby lap of someone that cannot even defend himself.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, to an infant.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: So maybe it's more Anders' fault, I guess, for taking him,
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: but I think, you know— And that's fine. Palmer went,
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: you know, her first game. I'm pretty sure the Mariners
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: lost it. I blame it on her.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: It happens.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: Kids got to wear it sometimes. I even like looked through,
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: you know, we watched the Mariners games while we were there.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: And I even thought like, Mariners didn't lose 22 to
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: nothing or 19 to two when I was in Seattle. Oh,
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: so those, so I can't even, I can't even be
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: responsible for all that.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you this. The team played a
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: lot better when you weren't here. Yeah, they did. I'm
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: just saying that.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I'm just trying to come up with the reasons why
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I should be allowed to stay.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Cal did fix the swing. I know, I know.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard. He had four home
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: runs and four straight at bats.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: We watched.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, I just was prepared for this, and I
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: had to come up with reasons as to why I
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: can't be blamed and don't have to go back on vacation.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I think it's real grown up of you. I think
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: that for you to have taken the time to have,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: created a reason why it wasn't you and to blame
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: it on some infant. Yeah. I think that's a real
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: sign of maturity.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Thank you. That's what I think, too. It's about owning things.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Because mature people reason things out to try and figure
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: out how it's not on them.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: That's what mature people do.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: And if I had come to the reasoning that it
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: was me, I'd own it. I've taken that blame before.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: I've offered to stay in Mexico before.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: That is true. Actually, this happens a lot, doesn't it?
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: It does.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Every time I go on vacation.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Now that I think about it.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Mariners do really well when I leave.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: But it also happened with minting, too, didn't it? Didn't
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Angie leave in the middle of the season one time
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and they went on a... 42-game winning streak, and then
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: she came back and they failed miserably for the rest
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: of the season.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Something like that.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Something in the neighborhood of that. Yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: See, so it's... Women. Women in the Seattle media.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Women are always the problem. Women and infants. Blame it
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: on the women and the babies.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going to check your track record, McIntyre.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Don't think I'm not doing that during the break.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: That's right. We should actually go back and look at
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: our schedule.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Well, anyway, you did miss a lot. It's been interesting,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: to say the least. And it looks like we're back
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: in a playoff race at this point. So, you know,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: you get to hit the ground running.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: Didn't the Rangers and the Astros lose yesterday?
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, they did. Yes, they did. And so there's a
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: chance by tomorrow. You're just two games back in the division. So, yeah.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: So welcome back. We're back in a race. Yay. Since
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: you've been gone, we got back into a playoff race.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: All right. Despite the fact that we still have a
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: really crappy record.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Well, Ashley is back. um austin hurst has been blamed
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: uh all is right with the world and uh we've
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: got a lot to discuss today let's find out what's
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: on tap.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: May i have your attention please this is what's on
• 17:06

• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Breaking news here to start what's on tap. Don Ho
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: is dead.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: I just tried to take a sip of something and
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: almost spit that everywhere, all over the board.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Breaking news as of 19 years ago.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Happened April 14, 2007, but I am just learning this today.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Me too. So that counts as breaking news on KJR.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: Oh, man.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: I should have played the sounder.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Phillies won over the Mariners yesterday, 6-0 in the final score.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Just sort of an ugly game from the outset. The
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: team only had two hits in the contest. Brian Woo.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: had given up six runs within the first two innings
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: in his return to the starting rotation. We'll cover all
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: the details in Mariners Morning After coming up at 6.30.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: The Mariners do have a day off today before they
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: start a series in Toronto. And so at 64-70 on
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the season, believe it or not, they are very much
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: alive in the American League West race, even the wild card,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: even though they lost a game yesterday in the wild card.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Toronto actually now has is ahead of us, uh, in
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the wild card standings right now. Uh, but two and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: a half games back in the American league West, because
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: as Ashley mentioned, the Rangers and the Astros both lost yesterday. Um,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: and only one of those two teams will play tonight.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: That's the Astros. They'll be in New York against the
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Yankees who will be favored certainly, uh, in this game.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: So pretty decent chance that when we wake up tomorrow,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: when the Mariners start their series against the blue Jays
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: in Canada, that we're looking at just a two-game deficit
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: in the American League West, which is very easy to overcome.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: That can be overcome in a weekend.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, it can.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: For goodness sake. And so, you know, it is a
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: loss yesterday. It was a reminder that, no, we're not
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a complete team.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: We don't want a sweep series.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: But certainly still very much alive. So we'll talk about that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Also want to mention this. I want to mention it now.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out how to weave it
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: into the very opening conversation that we had today, but
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: we didn't get there, which is fine. We've got four
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: hours to discuss this. But I woke up to news
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: this morning that overnight the Cincinnati Reds Because we are
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: now to waiver season at the end of August. We
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: can't make trade deadline moves anymore. There's not a second
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: trade deadline. But what you are seeing are eliminated teams
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: who are deciding, why do I want to pay a
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: high-priced player money the rest of the season? of the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: way when we're kind of trying to lose? Like when
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: we're trying to kind of think till next year. Well,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Reds last night waived two players. One, not
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: that interesting to you, TJ Friedel, even though certainly you
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: got to think about that if you're the Mariners. The
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: other one, Eugenio Suarez.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Good vibes only.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, you have to think about it. You have
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: to consider this.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: You have to more than think about it.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: We don't have a third baseman right now. We're still
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: playing Weston Wilson over there.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: You better be thinking hard about it.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. Maybe you do it to
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: him twice. They say once bitten, twice shy. He's been
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: twice bitten where he wasn't brought back when he was
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: beloved and wanted back. Maybe he wouldn't even want to
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: come back. I don't know. But you've got to consider it.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt. I mean, we have a need. He's
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: kind of magical when he puts on that Mariner uniform.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: The guys in the clubhouse still adore him. So something
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about a little bit later on in the show. Seahawks,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: it's official now. They have new owners. So the Kosla
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: family takes over yesterday. We got to hear them in
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: a press conference. We'll actually hear from them later on
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: in the show. Greg Bell will join us at 7.05
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: to talk about them and the Seahawks' final preseason game
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: of the year, which will be tomorrow. It is tomorrow.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: We will be done with preseason football tomorrow here in Seattle.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: They take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: The Apple Cup, believe it or not, is in 10 days.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: That is crazy. We were listening to Softy yesterday, and
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: he said, a week from Sunday, and.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I went, what?
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Can you believe it? Can't. Yeah, 10 days. So we'll
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: talk a little college football today, talk about some of
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Jed Fish. Jed Fish, I mean, just a week ago,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I'm doing shows with Huskies, and I got Ryan Walters saying,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: there is no depth chart. And Jed Fish, pretty much
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: with the fellas last night, said, it's all settled. Here
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: are our starters. So we'll talk about the Huskies a
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: little bit later on in the show and hear from
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Jed as well. Sounders and Chicago will play on Saturday.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Of course, the Sounders pulled off a mega trade. during
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: the course of the week, and it's worthy of having
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Jackson Feltz jump on the show with us today at
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: 9.30 to talk about kind of the strange timing of it.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, soccer's weird. I don't quite understand it. And
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: so usually when you're in the midst of like a
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: nine-game haven't-won streak, you don't usually make big trades to
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: add pieces, but Sounders have, so we'll get to the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: bottom of that with Jackson coming up today at 9.30. And,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: of course, we've got ABCs and so much more coming
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: your way. But Mariner's Morning After is next. Sports Radio
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: 93.3 KJRFM. While at Hawaii, the trip back, not so much.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Not so much.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Trip back, couple snafus.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: But here we are.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Little snags on the carpet.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But we've ate it.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: But she is back, and so good to have her
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: with us, and that means that we are actually going
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: to get good music to start segments now.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, someone said that you guys went a little crazy
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: with the music.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Well, not we guys. Anders was just playing random stuff,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know, there's sort of a theme
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: to the Mariner's Morning After. Mm-hmm. And he just kind
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: of took it upon himself to kind of play whatever
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: he wanted. It was actually weird and off-putting.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Weird and off-putting, okay.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Perfect.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just kind of looked at him like,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: you know, there is sort of a plan here. To
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: some degree, you're supposed to play some sort of, like,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: really sad song or some uplifting song.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: And then at one point, he was like, I decided
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: to play something really catchy today. And I'm like, that's
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the song we play for the win. All season long.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? He decided.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: It was even in the notes I sent.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. It's really tough to get up
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: early in the morning sometimes. When you're not used to it,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: as it turns out. Yeah. So, yeah. I don't want
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: to overshoot this or over-exaggerate it, but he was horrible.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm so sorry.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: So, it's good to have Ashley back. It's time for
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Mariner's Morning After. A highlight, a soundbite, a preview of
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: what's going on tonight for the Mariners who... We're playing
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: some really good baseball. They had won back-to-back games against
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Phillies, back-to-back series at home against the Cubs
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and Phillies. We went into yesterday afternoon's game knowing that
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: they'd already won the series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Could
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: they possibly get a sweep against a team that flew
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: to Seattle as the hottest team in all of Major
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: League Baseball? Could they finish off the sweep? Brian Wu
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: was returning yesterday. from having his start skipped because of
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: a shoulder injury that no one really acknowledged as an injury,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: more of just a concern, and maybe we'll take it
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: seriously to the point we'll skip his next start and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: make sure he's 100%. So we thought we were getting
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: vintage home Brian Wu, which is a lot different than
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: road Brian Wu, this entire season for the Philadelphia Phillies,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if the stuff, I mean, I'm
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: watching it from the stands, not from home, so it's
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: a little different viewing experience, but he was striking out guys,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: so I would assume that the stuff was fine. It's
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: just the guys in between the strikeouts that were doing
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: all the damage. They caused the problems because... The Philadelphia
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Phillies were hitting Brian Wu hard yesterday, and they built
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: a six-run lead by the second inning.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: Tag.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Schwarber.
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: Damage.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Right field.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Gone.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Phillies blow it open. Three-run tank. Kyle Schwarber, number 40.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: One of the game's great sluggers. 6-0 Philadelphia. Aaron Goldsmith
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: on the call, Mariners TV. Yes, Kyle Schwarber, the first
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: player this year to reach 40 home runs on the season.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: He does it at the expense of Brian Wu, who
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: ended up pitching the third and the fourth, so he
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: gave them some length yesterday. But in those four innings
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of work, he allowed five hits, a walk, struck out five,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: which sort of suggests the stuff wasn't that bad. The
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: location apparently cost him. He gave up six runs, all
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: of them earned. And when the Phillies did make contact,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: they were hitting him hard.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: And you could see how frustrated he was. And all
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: I could think, too, was, well, his last two road
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: starts were pretty darn good.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: And now have we flipped?
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe that Hawaii trip really did some weird stuff. Did
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: you pick up a tiki doll by chance or did
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: a tarantula crawl into your tent? At any point, because
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I saw this on the Brady Bunch when I was
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: a kid. And all sorts of voodoo hexes were created
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: when the Brady Bunch went to Hawaii. Yeah. And it
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: ended with, of course, a marathon of the architectural plans
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: that Mike Brady was counting on getting from Alice. And
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: in time, just in time. But leading up to that chaos,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the whole episode.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: Well, I did avoid a tarantula and a voodoo doll,
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: but I had a conversation with a chicken and I
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: wonder how far that actually went.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Because things were strange while you were away.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: They were.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: But mostly in a good way.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: I've actually talked to a lot of chickens, yeah.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You talk to a lot of chickens.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of chickens in Hawaii.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Okay. Oh, is that right?
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: Every morning I'd sit out on the patio and there'd be,
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: you hear the roosters talking to each other.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Really? Oh, chickens everywhere. Some baby chickens, some hens, some chickens.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: They just let them run them up?
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Everywhere.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: And then they, like I was walking to get coffee
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: one morning and a rooster was standing in the sidewalk
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: and he looked at me and he just roostered at me.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: What's that? What do they do? Cockle doodle dude.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he cockled doodle-doo'd at you.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: He did, loudly. I was like, I'm so sorry. That
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: could have been, it could have been him.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm okay.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. There's cats and chickens everywhere.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would think that as long as you didn't
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: harm any of the chickens in a strange, like, sacrifice.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Didn't do that.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Sacrificial sort of ceremony that I don't think you would
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: have jinxed the team in any way.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: I petted the cats and talked to the chickens, so
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: we're good.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, good. Uh, well, Brian Wu, uh, yeah,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: he's now acting on Wu. Like he's pitching well on
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the road and, uh, he gets roughed up at home.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Here he is after the game.
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: The first inning, I thought were good pitches. I think
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: Schwarber's could have been a little lower, but Harper had
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: a good pitch. Um, I think just second inning was
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: just got a little too fastball heavy. Um, I think
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: on days like this where the fastball does have life and,
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: feels good. Obviously you want to keep going back to it, but, um,
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: you got to pitch as well, especially with a lineup
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: like that with veteran hitters that are, you know, they're smart.
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: They're not just going up there with, without a plan.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: Like they know what they're trying to do. And, um, yeah,
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: I just feel like I was too much throwing, not
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: enough pitching. No, I mean, I just wanted to go
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: out and come out with, you know, good energy and intent.
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: Like I feel like I have the last couple of starts,
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: I finished off a good homestand, a good series. Sweeps
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: makes a big difference than just winning two out of three.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: Picking up three games versus just one this time of
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: year where every game matters, every win matters. I just
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: didn't do my job today.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: And he's hard on himself.
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: Very.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I am. I would have been too.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Team's rolling. I'm convincing everybody I'm perfectly fine. This stuff
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: did look perfectly fine. And if he's saying that the
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: problem was that I was just enamored with my fastball
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: and I wasn't out there pitching against a lineup that if...
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not playing chess against the Philadelphia Phillies. They're going
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: to hammer me. And they hammered him. So it wasn't
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: any fluke hits. Harper, it's a two-run homer. Schwarber, it's
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: a three-run homer. He ends up giving up six runs.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: And he did settle down and give you some length.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: And I think he probably could have kept pitching yesterday,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: but the damage had already been done. And then tack
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: on the fact that, once again, no offense at all,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: which was tough to see. Just two hits. I mean,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: at one point, I'm sitting there wondering, am I going
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: to leave a no hitter, even though it's the road
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: team throwing the no hitter? Am I going to leave
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: this game with a no-hitter going on? Because I was
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: contemplating leaving. Yeah, understandable. Yeah, yeah. So really just an
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: all-around stinker. Brian Wu wasn't the only one that didn't
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: do the job yesterday.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Right, exactly.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: And you thought too, I mean, at least the damage
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: he did early. So there was still a lot of
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: time for, you know, if we had good pitching, which
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: we did throughout the rest of the game, for the
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: offense to step up and do something.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: But it clearly was not their day.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Cal Raleigh, who's been hot, 0 for 4 with four strikeouts.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: And again, from the right side, the swing looked broken again. Um,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a different swing. They say this all
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the time. Bucky say this all the time. You gotta,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: you have to keep sharp two different swings. It's a
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: full-time job. So it's just because you fix one side
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean you fix the other, but the other, the
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: right side did not look that bad here as of late. Um,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: so you thought, Oh, the left-handed swings fixed now, now
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: he's cooking right now we're cooking here. Um, and instead
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: he just looked terrible. But everybody did against Lizardo, so
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: maybe we give credit to Jesus Lizardo. Day off for
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: the Mariners today. They will start a series in Toronto
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: tomorrow night. So if there is something of interest this
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: evening in terms of this race, the Houston Astros are
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: in action at Yankee Stadium tonight, and it will be
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Wesneski versus Cole. So the Yankees will certainly be a
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: heavy Vegas favorite going into this game. So there is
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: a chance that tomorrow morning we wake up and the
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Mariners are just two games back in the American League
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: West with the entire month of September to go. So
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: there's your update. There's your Mariners morning after. More on
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: the M's later. ABC's of the M's coming your way
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: at 7.30. But a historic day for the Seattle Seahawks yesterday,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and we'll get into that next. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: All right, Greg Bell is going to join us at
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: 7.05 here this morning. We also have your headlines coming
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: up at 7 o'clock today. I do want to let
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: you know, Tulalip Resort Casino, here we are on Thursday.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe you wanted to put together a weekend plan, but
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: you heard about Ashley's travel coming home, and you're like, no,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting on a plane. I'm not dealing with that.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: That's fair. So now all of a sudden you're in town.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: What are you going to do this weekend? Why not
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: head out to Tulalip Resort Casino? man, their hotel rooms
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: are good looking. Uh, and you can just, uh, you know,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: just go up and down the line at all the restaurants, uh,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: take in some entertainment, play a little, play a few games,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: you know, a little adult games out there. Um, and
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: just have yourself a, well, a hell of a time. Yeah.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Hell of a plan B for your canceled Hawaii trip.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: Well, we had a listener member that told me I
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: should maybe I should still go to Hawaii, but I
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: should also go to Tulalip. And I might, I think
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: that I should have. I mean, I had a great
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: time in Hawaii, but Tulalip wouldn't have given me travel woes.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Hawaii, they give you chickens, from what I understand on
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: this conversation. Chickens and cats. Yes. And some paradise mixed
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: in there. Yep. But it's not, doesn't sound like everything.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like it gives you everything where Tulalip Resort
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Casino is. We'll give you everything.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: 100%.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: When all you want is everything. EverythingTolalip.com. All right. Historic
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: day for the world champion Seattle Seahawks yesterday. New owners
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: introduced officially. The Koslas have now taken over for the Allens. And,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: of course, Vanad, the father, the patriarch of the family,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: spoke about this great honor.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Thank you, everybody. It's a great honor to be here.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: I do want to start by thanking Jody Allen and
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: the Allen Trust for trusting us with this franchise. Roger's
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: been incredibly helpful and the NFL staff incredibly helpful in
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: getting here. As Roger said, it's pretty simple when the
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: team is functioning as well as it is today. How
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: often do you get to buy a franchise that just
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl? So we are incredibly lucky and
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: humbled by this gift, I would say, from the Allen Trust. And,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: of course, having been to Lumen Field and watching the
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: 12s everywhere, I do want to thank them for their
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: passion and fervor. And the community in Seattle is incredibly valuable,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: so we hope we'll engage a lot more with the
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: community also. The task ahead is actually pretty simple. Keep
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: the winning streak alive, get another Super Bowl.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: That's simple.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: In general, our approach is generally going to be long-term focused.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: That's our inclination always.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: So keep winning. Keep winning.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Take a long-term approach, and learn a lot. We don't
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: know enough, and so hopefully the other owners have been
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: incredibly welcoming and willing to teach us, and so we'll
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: learn a lot. We'll learn a lot from management and
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: see what they are recommending. So we'll just be in
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: learning mode for quite some time.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: All right, the new owner.
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: There he is.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: He sounds rich.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: I wish I sounded rich.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: That's actually not true. I wouldn't care if I sounded rich.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: I just wish I was.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I kind of went in knowing he
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: was rich.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: And then hearing him after that.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: So that does maybe alter how you hear him.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it does.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: If you had just randomly played it, I might not
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: have drawn that conclusion.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Might have been like, yeah, that guy sounds middle class.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: But yeah, sounds rich.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Turns out he is. I was right about that all along.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Kudos to you.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was the first one that said that. So
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: the Coastless do take over. And look, I mean, I
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: realize that people in this town have been burned by
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: a billionaire who ripped your hearts out once upon a time. Yeah.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: And I realize you came close to losing your football
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: team a couple of times and your baseball team a
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: couple of times. I mean, I get that. So There's
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: going to be an element of distrust with some Seattle
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: sports fans whenever there is a changeover. I think it
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: would be insane for Vinod Khosla and the Khosla family
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: that obviously are pretty good at business, intelligent people, to
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: march into this town knowing what it means to this city,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: coming off a championship, I think it would be insane
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: to change anything, any way that the organization is operating
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: right now. And I think it would be insane to
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: be considering anything else but perpetuity in Seattle. Now, maybe
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: he's somebody like, I have money. I love spending it.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: And I want a spaceship for a stadium. That so
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: when we go on road games, we can take our
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: stadium with us.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: That'd be nice.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, who knows what his vision is for
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: the long, who knows what the next form of stadium
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: is going to look like. And maybe he wants to
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: be on the cutting edge of that. But I'm just,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: anybody that takes over this operation and does anything dramatic
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: to change it right now, or has any thought about
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: any future that doesn't have the Seahawks in Seattle is
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: an insane person. And I don't know the Coastalers, but
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go ahead and give them the benefit
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: of the doubt that they're not insane.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: I think that's a good benefit to give them.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: I did not get that impression from him at all,
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: the insanity impression. And I do think, I mean, just
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: the fact that he even says, you know, the gift
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: that the Allen family has allowed us, basically. And he says,
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: this is very humbling. To be able to come into
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: this organization and this team in this situation is a
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: humbling thing. I mean, he didn't come in and say like,
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: sound like we know everything.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: We've got this.
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: He says, we've got a lot to learn. I mean,
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: I think he said all the right things. And I
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: don't think he said it like I'm a used car salesman.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: I think he said it like genuinely.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we know. This is an honor to be able
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: to own this team and we're not going to screw
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: it up.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I get it. I don't know if there's any way
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: that a changeover like this can occur without a Seattle
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: sports fan being a little worried.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, understandable.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: And I realize that there are a lot of you
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: that have the tendency to be very worried at all
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: times about everything. But I just don't see it. I
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: just don't see it at all in the cards. I
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: think you could rest at ease. We'll talk to Greg
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Bell about it next. Plus, get you ready for Chiefs
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Seahawks to finally end the preseason. That's coming up on
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
