• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Very deep fly not coming down, Mitch Garber back to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the cropper boxes, out of the concourse. Second hard run
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: today by an Americas. That's the thing. But that home
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: run yesterday, you know what he reminded me of what
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Bucky Jacobson.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Like, how Bucky hits some runs or how just the approach,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the approach, Yeah, just very similar.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very like. Maybe Garba's got a little more.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I would say Garver's approach to the or two at
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: bats is probably very similar to what Bucky would do.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: It was weird. It was almost like what am I
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: am I seeing double Yeah, having flashbacks.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: It's like Bucky's non Ginger brother, identical twin.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I've never said anything that has made him want him
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to punch me more.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: He might come into the office actually here he knows.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's wanted to punch me a lot too. So
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: for me to have finally found something good put him
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: over the edge. Good morning, Welcome in. It is Chuck
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and Ashley with us with you seven o'clock hour here
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: on this Friday. Greg Bell is going to join us
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: here in a couple of moments. We do have a
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: cash word for you, of course we do. When will
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: we not have one rich love.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: To give you money.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: The keyword rich ninety three three kjr dot com. Enter
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: it for your shot at one thousand dollars in Grand
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Slam cash. That is rich at ninety three three kjr
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: dot com used in a sentence if you're wondering why
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: we do this every day, blame Rich.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Rich makes us all right.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Headlines brought to you by Frost Brewed Cords. Light Choose Chill,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Mariners do win. You're heard the highlight there on Mariner's TV.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Mitch Garver did homer, but the bigger hit was Luke
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Rayley's sort of dominance, establishing three run shot and the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: very first inning the ms cruise to an eight to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: three win over a team that used to be a rival.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's turned easy. Eight to three was the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: final score over the Astros. So despite that crummy loss,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday, Mariners get the job done in Texas. They
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: take three out of four from the Astros. They moved
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: back within a game of five hundred, something they can
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: rectify over the weekend. You can get two five hundred
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: by taking the series against the San Diego Padres this weekend.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: How about we come to work on Monday, and we're
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: over five hundred. Yes, please, which means you've swept the padre. Yeah, yeah,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: sign up for it. We'll start a sheet.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, thank you.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock gets the start tonight for the Mariners, wh'll
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: go up against Randy Vasquez. If you're having a little
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: de ja vu, it is because they just faced off
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: about two weeks ago in San Diego, the same two pitchers.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: First pitch will be sick, and that is a home
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: game tonight. Elsewhere, we've got the PGA Championship going on
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: day number two of the second major of the golf year.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Thus far, you're looking at five guys atop the leader
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: board at three under par, but not really a big name.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: The biggest name among them probably Men woo Lee. Maybe
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Ashley would correct me on that, Yeah, Men woo Lee's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: probably the biggest name in that group. Scotty Scheffler started
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the day tied for the lead, but he's two over
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: on the day and he's only played three holes, so
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Scotty's not off to a great start. There was already
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: anger yesterday. You know John Rahm fighting people. You know
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Rory McElroy cursing, Bryson de Shambo just was de Shamboles yesterday.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It was a rough day for some big names in golf. Yeah.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Also NBA playoffs, they went dark last night, so a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: doubleheader tonight two Game six is Cleveland can wrap things
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: up at home against the Pistons, and then it will
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: be the Spurs trying to wrap it up on the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: road against Minnesota. Stanley Cup playoffs, Las Vegas advanced over
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Anaheim and now we'd play the waiting game. It's going
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to be about six days before we play another hockey
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: game in the Western Conference finals. The Carolina Hurricanes might
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: go twelve days between games in the Eastern Conference as
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: they wait for Montreal and Buffalo to wrap things up.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: The Canadians up three games to two thanks to their
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: six to three win last night. Creakness is on Saturday
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Atie Old Tchick's already given us his tips. If you
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: missed him, we'll have them for you in the O
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Show at eight o'clock Sounders Galaxy tomorrow. And of course
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: it's time to talk some NFL schedule release with our
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Seahawks insider Greg Bell now joins us on the show.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Hi Greg, Hi, good morning.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I had a lot of headlines to get through
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it kept you.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he he threw me off. No intro, no run up,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: no music.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to come up with a new intro,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: it turns out. So I guess we could have gone
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: back to the Christmas bills, you know, could.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Have what happened to what happened to bubbly stuff, Well.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Just temporarily because they looked for a football season and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: we're not in football.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Season, right, Okay, we'll.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Get them back. Yeah, it's I mean, you and Coppola
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Diamond Collection, Prosecco go hand and hand strong arm them.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's anonymous, I know.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: All right. So we've got a schedule. You now know
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: where you're going to be this fall and winter every
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: single week of your life. So I'm just gonna blank
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: canvass it for you to get it started, and then
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I'll ask some particulars. So what stood out most to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you about yesterday Seahawks schedule release.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Well, they have swaths of home games that I don't
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: remember them having much. They've got two different instances back
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: to back home games, once early in the season and
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: one then I think it's November, and then they have
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: three home games in a row near the by.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: You can get a project. I'm done at home. If
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you're going to be home three straight week, start building that.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean everything I'm supposed to do in May
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: and June, my wife's could make me do in November. Yeah,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: they rarely. I can't remember three straight home games now.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Of course, the flip side of that is they're starting
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: the season with two of three on their two in
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: a row after the opener against New England home, then
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: they go down the road twice, and then to end
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: the season of courses, that's the test. They've got three
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: of their last four on the road. They played at
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Rams twice, Rams being on Christmas Day being that only
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: home game in that span, and then three road games.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: They play at Carolina again Week seventeen for the second
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: consecutive season, and then end with a division game the
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: following weekend a week eighteen again, and everyone jumps all
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: over the primetime game six of them. They should have six.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: They should have the max scheduled primetime games because they're
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl champions and they got a schedule that
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: fits a Super Bowl champion. There's a chance they're gonna
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: end up with seven primetime games because if the networks
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: are viewing the Rams, Seahawks and Covet as coveted as
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: that matchup was is for this schedule, there's a chance
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: that Week eighteen game will get flex the Sunday night
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: if it's for the NFC West title, like the networks
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: think it will be right, and then you'd have a
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: seventh primetime game. So yeah, the high profile fits. But
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: and then the other thing is the buye. I tell
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: you that. That's what coaches and players say. Okay, win's
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: our buye. Week eleven is pretty good.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: It's it is, it's it's They can't argue with that.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's about ideal as far as I'm concerned,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and I figured coach McDonald would feel that way too.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the rough stretch maybe in the schedule,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and that would be home against the Chargers, home again
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers short rest, then at Denver on
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a Thursday, and then home against the Chiefs and Bears.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Would you count that as a tough their stretch than
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the end of the season where you're going Eagles, Rams, Panthers, Rams,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Or do you go into the year being the tougher stretch.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: And you're being tougher because it'll probably be more impactful
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: because of those two rams games that we all think
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: will decide the NFC West. But not only the Chargers
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: forty nine Ers, Denver, Kansas City, Chicago in a row.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Right before that stretch begins, they're at Arizona and Atic Washington.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I know Arizona's down and there's a lot of things
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: wrong in Arizona right now. Back to back home road games,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: including one on the East Coast when of those ten
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: am starts before that whole stretch begins. So yeah, that's challenging.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: But three of them are home. Four if you count
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: four of those, there's one, two or four of those
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: five you mentioned the stretch of Chargers, Niners, Broncos, Chiefs, Bears.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Four of those five are at home. So again, the Seahawks,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: they usually are one home went away, one home went away.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Last year's schedule was almost entirely that, with a couple
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: only one or two two in a rows. This one,
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: with the pack the home games to get packed together,
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: is really unusual. It seems to me. I just judged
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: by how many airports, how often I go to airports,
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: so I judge schedule, and this one is different in
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: that regard. They could make some hay. Now they fixed
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: last year their home schedule problem, and they were losing
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: so many home games before that. Even though those are
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: opponents are difficult, four out of five at home, there's
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: a chance to make some serious Hey, they get five
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: out of six at home. If you go all the
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: way to the Arizona game in November Chargers Niners home
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: at Denver, that Thursday night game you mentioned, then Kansas City, Chicago,
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Arizona all at home, Las Vegas and a bye. So
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: you could argue that Arizona at Las Vegas and a bye.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: You could argue they have three by weeks in a
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: row there in November.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with us our Seahawks insider. You can
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: follow his coverage at the Seahawks at the Neewstribune dot com,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: and if you want to follow him on x you
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: can do so at g Bell Seattle. Only two ten
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: am games, which a few people were making a big
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: deal out of. I know we do. We always do
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: during game week when there's a preparation for a ten
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: am start. Is that an unusually low number? Is that
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: unusually light?
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: It is? They have had years where they've gone back
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: to the East Coast five times, in three or four
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: of them have been ten ams. They really have licked
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: this ten am thing. Pete Carroll did it, and then
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Mike McDonald has tweaked some of how they travel and
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: times and sleep times to further refine what they they spend.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: I will say this, they spend a lot of time
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: on how to travel from Seattle to ten am East
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Coast games, a lot of science behind it on when
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: they sleep, how they eat. There's a lot that goes
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: into those ten am Sunday games. And now they only
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: have two of them because their third trip to the
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: East is at Philadelphia and that's a two pm local
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: time start because it's the evening doubleheader that night and Saturday,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: December the nineteenth. The League did the Seahawks a solid there.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: The Seahawks Rams Christmas Day game gets all the attention.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: That's a Friday, and there was a specter of them
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: having only four days off between a normal Sunday game
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: and that's Friday game. So the league pushed back the
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Seahawks one day and give them an extra day ar rest,
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: so they'll be five days between the Saturday game and
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: the Christmas Day game. They didn't do that with the Rams.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: The second game that Saturday, December nineteenth is Chicago at Buffalo,
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: so the Rams are going to be coming off less rest.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Then I can't remember even I haven't see what the
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Rams are doing that weekend. But that's how there's the
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: league slid the Seahawks an extra day there by scheduled
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: INFRA at Philadelphia and then also at the two o'clock
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Pacific game, the team can get back that evening. I
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: know it'll end at eight o'clock in Philadelphia, but with
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: the time change, they won't to the Seahawks. Will we
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: get in at five or six am like they normally
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: do for an East Coast game.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: There's a Wednesday game this year, there's a Fridays Now,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: there's a couple Wednesday games. Now we have Thanksgiving Eve,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: we have Christmas Day. I mean, is what do you
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: hear or what is your gut? Where does this end
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: in terms of the saturation of this product during the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: how they're going to scatter it out over the course
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of future years.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's not going to add when they add an
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: eighteenth game, which is inevitable, there's gonna be Tuesday night football.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: There's gonna be Wednesday night football. There's going to be
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: a day they haven't even invented yet football. They are
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: going to maxims and just blot out the calendar with
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: football from September to January. It's just more and more
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: and more, the appetite, the inventory, the number of suitors,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: the streaming services YouTube and Netflix fighting over games, and
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Amazon Prime throw in Cassida. I mean, it's just it's
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: it really is almost obscene, just how much excess and
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: gluttony there is an NFL football. Just keep throwing them
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: at the masses, and the masses will keep ingesting it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: So the players are the ones who ultimately suffer. And
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: all this with the scheduling. I know they get paid
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: really well, and people Joe Cabby driving around Seattle right
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: now doesn't want to hear about a millionaire football guy
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: getting inconvenienced. But there will be a time and I
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: don't know if it's twenty thirty CBA negotiations, but there's
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: gonna be a time that the union says enough we
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: want if you want us to do all these gymnastics
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: and changes and playing on Tuesday, Wednesday, Christmas Night, Thanksgiving Eve,
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Black Friday, Pink Saturday, then you're going to have to
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: give up some of your league revenue. I've long said
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: the NFL arrangement of billionaires keeping fifty two percent of
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: the league revenue is one of the worst deals in sports.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: It's the most car crash quality of life, altering sport
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: for the participants, and the participants only get less than
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: half the revenue forty eight percent. That needs to change.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: If the players don't want some of these things, like
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: an eighteen game season in these crazy days they play
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: on and grass fields, they need to step up. The
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: veterans need to have sway over the rank and file
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: that make up the majority of the union. Say we're
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: holding out for this stuff. We're not going to sign
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: a new CBA if we don't start getting these things
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: that we complain we don't get from the owners and
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: league revenue at forty eight percent is the one carrot
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: I think I would keep out from the owners and
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: say we're not doing this stuff unless you give us
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: fifty percent of revenue.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's my flat ass is what's going to
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: suffer the most from sitting around watching so much football.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: That's what's going to suffer the most. With all of this, Yeah,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and I love the idea that Greg put out there
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that the NFL is so powerful it will just invent
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: an eighth day in the week that everybody else must
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: you know, acknowledge fright night fright to day night football. Yes,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: coming your way.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: What's going to stop them? It sounds, what's going to
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: stop them? And it will all go okay, new day football, great?
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: Got more?
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: All right? So next on the calendar, Now that we
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: have the schedule, and now that everybody's put wins and
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: losses by all the games, and we don't even have
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to worry about the record, uh, for this upcoming year,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: you've got OTAs coming up, and then a break. Is
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: that what our schedule looks like?
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Here a couple of weeks, so three day packs of
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: OTA's beginning the last week of May, not next week,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: with the following leegue, and then the only mandatory end
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: of the off season a mini camp June eight nine
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: and ten or seven eight nine, I think it is
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: three in a room and that's it. They have one
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: fewer OTA block than normal, and they're from January. They're
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: excuse me, June tenth till the last week of July
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: or so they'll be done, they'll be gone fishing. I mean,
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: everyone's gone from the facility. It's the one long block
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: of time in the offseason that everybody in the NF
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: goes anywhere. So I didn't actually do the map, but
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: fifteen days from the first preseason game. The first preseason
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: game is August fifteenth against Dallas at home, fifteen days
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: before it is by the CBA when you can't start
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: a training camp any earlier than that. So that looks
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: like what July thirty first or so for a training
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: camp start, So a little bit later than last week,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: about a week later. So but yeah, this has been
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: a relatively short off season. After you win a Super
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Bowl and you have a draft and then boom boom,
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: here we go a couple of weeks, weeks in a
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: mini camp and they're done, and then they're into training camp.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: What did you think of the perfume? Mad?
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: It was it was clever, I mean, yeah, it was.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: It was I particular like Nostalgia nineteen ninety six.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: But what was that guy? Because he was great? I
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: mean I recognized everybody else by that that guy. Should
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: That I didn't know too many of the people. Yeah, yeah,
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: I thought that was of course the substation thing for
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: the forty nine ers everybody, yeah, the Chargers as well,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: making fun of that. But yeah, it's it is funny
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: to see how the league has evolved and now the
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: social media teams that this is their Christmas to do this.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: And it used to be just put out on a card.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: There wasn't even the internet or the emails to release
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: right schedules, but they just went to the ap wire
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: back in the day. That's how everyone got it. Right
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: now it's like this, but yeah, I thought that was
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: creative with it. It is the fun. I mean, I
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: get it. It's contrived in the NFL is trying to
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: keep themselves in the news, but it is it's fun
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: for May and yeah, all the scheduled weeks and by
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: the way, the schedule leaks. It used to be you
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: ignored most of those because they were wrong. They're mostly
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: right now and they I don't know if I think.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: My guess is because the proliferation of so many other
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: streaming partners, television partners, there's so many cooks in the
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: kitchen now that it's easy to get the leaks and
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: they're they're right more than that.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, what do you got planned for today?
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: We're gonna talk at eleven with our friend Gary Hill,
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: junior Mariners broadcaster, about the Mariners coming home after the
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: long road trip, about the cow Rawley situation, and did
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: the Mariners say he's not going tomit that as a
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Mariner's employee, but did they kind of mismanage it and
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: maybe he played a week and a half longer than
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: he should have. We'll go into the details of the
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: scheduling again, and then it's my last show before I
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: get on a plane tomorrow morning and see our daughter graduating.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: Thank you, all right? Coast Guard, Yeah, all.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Right, well, have a great time with that. I cannot believe.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like I know her, but it
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: just feels like it was yesterday you told us she
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: was heading off to school.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: I know now she's going to be an ensign in
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: the Coastguard, responsible for people and their lives. And it
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: blows our mind, it really does. It makes me feel
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: pretty old, but proud too, Yeah, no doubt.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Well, enjoy, enjoy the proud moment, the proud week. All right, Well,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: thank you very much, We appreciate it, and we will
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: talk to you soon.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: All right, all right, see you in a couple of
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: hours then, right.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell our Seahawks insider, and yes, he'll be on
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the air at ten o'clock here this morning after our
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: show is done. If you want to follow Greg, do
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: so at g BEL Seattle on x and of course
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: complete coverage of the Seahawks twenty four to seven, twelve
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: months out of the year at Thenewstribune dot com. And
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: if you don't know what we're talking about, the perfume ad,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: there was a everybody does now a schedule release video.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Every PR team within the organization does one, and so
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: they're getting more creative and more outlandish every year. And
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks basically made a fake perfume ad to promote
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: the schedule. It's got Joel McHale in it and Josh Lucas.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: I really like the push Push perfume.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Two separate bottles and you'll be surprised which one smells worse.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch makes an appearance, but you got to stay
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: to the end, Yes you do. It's very well done,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: very funny. I don't know who the young handsome man.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know who that was either. When you asked Greg,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: I was like I was wondering the same thing when
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I saw it.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he had maybe the best lines in the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: entire thing. So anyway, if you want to check that
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: out to feel free to do so. It's worth two
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: three minutes of your time if you're a Seahawks fan.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: All right, Coming up next to ABC's of the m
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, the Mariners. We
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: don't know what we're going to discuss. The album bit
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: determines that that's right. We use it as our guide. Yes,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the Mariners did win yesterday afternoon, eight to three over
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the Houston Astros. Luke Raley at a three run homer,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Mitch Garver homerd and Luis Castillo's best outing since his
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: first outing of the year, and that was much needed.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: His first win of the entire year for Luis Castillo,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: eight to three the final score, take three out of
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: four from the Astros, move within a game of five hundred.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Return home tonight to take on the San Diego Padres.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: So a chance on Monday morning. We could be talking
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: about a team finally over five hundred, but that would
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: require a sweep. I'll take five hundred. I'll take five
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: hundred on month.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Good with that, Yeah, no complaints from me.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I'll take two out of three for five hundred, please, Jack.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: That sounds like a great choice, Chuck.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the ABC said. The ms
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: stare brought to you by the Sunset Auto Family in
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Sumner and in Auburn. You just get more at Sunset
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: and people do like that.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: I sure would.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I'm telling me I should be her spokes the only one.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: All right, we are at the end of the alphabet,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: so we're gonna finish it today. That means we've got
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: to go through four letters, and we'll start with the
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: letter W and that is for wow. Oh like wow.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: We're taking on the San Diego Padres and the Padres
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: are twenty five and eighteen this year. That's a good record.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're I think they're even with
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers right now. Probably should have looked that up
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: at the top of the National League West, at least
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: they were. I think they are tied with the Dodgers
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: for first place in the National League West. So off
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to a very good record, right, that's a good record.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: That's an India's record. Yes, that is we would like
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: to have a twenty five and eighteen record.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: And I will say the Dodgers are a twenty six wins,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: but yes, you would like to have a twenty five
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: and eighteen record.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, so they they are a half game up because
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: they played last night and once. All right, so twenty
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: five and eighteen is is a good record. But the
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Padres are not playing well, that's a misleading record. They
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: are twenty eight this year in OPS twenty eight. There
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: are only two teams that are that are generating less
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: offensive production at the plate than the San Diego Padres.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: They're twenty fifth and run scored, and I guess that's true.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Offensive production is run scored, but it's still not good.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: And their thirtieth in batting average. There are thirty teams
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: in baseball. That means they are last at two twenty two.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: They have an OPS as a team, that is at
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: six oh seven. They have only one guy on their
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: entire roster with an OPS over seven hundred. Now eight
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: hundred is good, seven hundred is pretty much average, and
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: they only have one guy over seven hundred, and that's
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Xander Bogarts, who a lot of people thought was washed up.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: And then Fernando Tatis is the real standout here in
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the Wow department. He has not hit a whole home
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: run so far this year. The team has a better
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: it's Tatiste that has a six h seven OPS. That's terrible, okay,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and we know that because we're experiencing it with our
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: own superstar Cal Rawley, who's not even over six hundred.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: But Fernando Tatisa is down around the cal Raley kind
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: of start for a superstar player. Machado's having an off year,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Jackson Merrill's having an off year. The Padres just aren't
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: playing good baseball, and yet they're playing winning baseball because
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: of their bullpen. They have an outstanding bullpen. So if
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: you give the Padres the lead, or if it's close,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: then their bullpen can kind of take over when they
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: put their best guys on the job, because their starters
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: aren't exactly lighting the world on fire either. Overall, the
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Padres are sixteenth in ERA this year. They're thirteenth in
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: opponent's batting average. That's middle of the pack statistics for
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: their pitching, so bad offensive statistics, middle of the pack
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: pitching statistics, and yet there's seven games over five hundred.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Baseball can be really weird.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say that is just weird because
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: hearing I thought we were gonna say when you were
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: gonna say, oh, they won twenty five games, they're playing
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: really well, because that would make sense.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: They're not.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes no sense.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: And Fernando Tatiss does not have a home run. It's
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: May fifteenth, and they're an awful lot of former baseball
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: players who have podcasts are talking about the not being
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: on peds is catching up to Fernando Tatis Junior. So
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's that. I don't think he was
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: on them last year and he had a fine season,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: or at least he shouldn't have been on He's really
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: playing Russian roulette. If he was on him again last year,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: that would be stupid. Yeah, but this year he cannot
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: find his power. You want to knock on your head
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: or something, you can do that.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because people seem to find it when they play us.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: But the Padres are just not statistically playing well, and
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: yet they're figuring out ways to win. To be a
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: twenty five and eighteen ex is for Expedite. Matt Brash
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: pitched last night in Tacoma and dominated struck out the side.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Three guys face struck them all out and looked, and
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the looks on the faces of the Sugarland players were like,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't stand a chance. So I think we could
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: possibly expedite this whole Matt Brash situation. I wouldn't be
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, they probably won't activate him tonight because since
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: he just pitched last night, they don't like to pitch
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: him back to back nights to begin with, much less
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: coming off an injury. But I would imagine he doesn't
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: need another outing. He wasn't gone for that long, and
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: he even said he didn't even need to be put
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: on the injury list when they put him on the
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: injury list. So to look that dominant in his first performance,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and considering we could use a healthy arm or two,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: yes please in the bullpen, I think maybe we'll see
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Matt before the weekend is over with, and that'd be
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: great because he was phenomenal to this point in the
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: season before that injury.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Sign me up for that too, Okay.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: All right, Ashley signing up for a lot of things.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm a volunteering.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to over commit. You don't have
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: a you know, you're a mother, you got a job now.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: But you know what, so far, I feel confident in
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: the two things I've signed up for. I can't remember
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: what the first one was, but I think it involved
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: winning money.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, winning money.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Money, So I'm good right now. So Matt Brash is
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: back this weekend and winning the thousand dollars.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, signed up for that plan. I'll do that, Okay.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Be careful though, just don't sign anything that's put in
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: front of you.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: No.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it saying you know you're going to have
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: a time share. Oh man, and you're gonna need that
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: attorney guy, do.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: You Yeah, he's not an attorney.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you know that about Chuck McDowell.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Why is for youngins. I'm gonna go check out the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: young'ins tonight down in Tacoma. There's some oldin's on the
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: team too, but there's some young'in's down there in Tacoma.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I'd like to put my eyeballs on again. So we're
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: doing our rainiers tonight. Tonight. You've got Dick Fane and
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Jackson Feltz I believe, are doing the radio show at
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: three o'clock. I'm going to join him. It sounds like
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: at four. It's pretty early, boys, pretty early for me
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: to join you for a seven o'clock start. But game
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: time seven o'clock, I'll be on the call with Riley pay.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I get to watch Colt Emerson play again tonight. He's
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: been making phenomenal defensive plays. He is on a defensive
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: highlight play. He has a defensive eyelight player. It feels
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: like every night down there in Tacoma. But there was
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: a new list. Man, these guys pump out list. You
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: should be. They had to wait like February for a
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: new top one hundred prospects rankings list, and now they
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: update them every other week. But once a guy like
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: graduates from the list because he's got too much major
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: league experience, they take them off the list and come
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: out with a new list. Okay, so they have a
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: new list. MLB Pipeline Baseball America had a new list
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: this week as well. But the number six and seven
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: prospects in baseball, Colt Emerson and Cad Anderson, those are
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: your now. Caid's not in Tacoma right now, but Colt is.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: But nonetheless, that's how fast up the rankings. Kate Anderson's
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: been flying here as of late, they're sick and seven.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Ryan Sloan's kind of holding steady around twenty two on
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: their list, but another big leap from Lazaro Montes. He's
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: now up into the top thirty on their list. So
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Mariner's good young nucleus right now, but there's more help
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: on the way. It's very exciting.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, four in the top thirty. Okay, yeah, sign up
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: for that too.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Finally, is for Zeus. Maybe cal Raley's not Zeus, but
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: our superstar is going to be missing from the lineup.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I think in the last couple of years, if you'd
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: have lost cal Raley from the lineup, man that might
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: have spelled doom. I think that this roster is complete
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: enough right now. I mean here you are hovering around
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: five hundred without cal Raley performing even average. He's not
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: even been a good player, certainly at the plate so
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: far this season. But I would point out somebody that
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: you might consider more like a Zeus of baseball, Ken
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Griffy Junior, because if you remember back in nineteen ninety five,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: arguably the best year or most famous.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, most talked about.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably certainly in the top five best seasons. Us
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Mariner's history, most memorable seasons in Mariner's history, the most
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: important season in Mariner's history. If you remember the Mariners,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Ken Grivey Junior was out for a huge chunk of
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: that year and they still managed to hang in there
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: without him, and then when they got back, they took off.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: You know, I've heard Greg talk about this this week.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: We you know, we obviously didn't want to think. We
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: wanted Col's side to be fine and no reason to
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: put him on an injury list. The side's going to
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: be fine. But now that it is, now that it's
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: acted up again, I agree, like, let's make sure he's
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent healthy. There's a lot of the season remaining,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: and I think you have a good enough roster even
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: without cal Raley to win the American League West because
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: it's down this year. So I think we can win
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the division without cal Raley playing for a while. Hopefully
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: it's just ten days, but I know we win the
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: division with a healthy cal Raley getting back on track.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: So let's just get him back on track. Let's let
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: him take all the time that he needs to get healthy.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: It's it's why you've not heard any panic from me
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the last couple of days about cal Raley's side acting
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: up again.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the one thing that I've been concerned
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: about is don't rush him back, because the last thing
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: you want to do is deal with this all year
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: where he's not one hundred percent and it's going back
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: and forth. So I would say, not even let him
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: take all the time he needs, because I think he
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: would think he needs less time. I would say, let
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: him have him, force him to take maybe more time
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: than he needs so we know he's one hundred percent
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: when he gets back.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Don't rush Cal. We've made this mistake Bifer as well. Wait,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: don't rush Dump. Yeah, I think that's the message here today.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: All right, Dump, We've got Ocho coming up at eight o'clock.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Coming up next though on the radio program, we've got
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: poll results from yesterday sports Radio. And by the way,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: if they would have gone the other way, I would
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: have never brought this up because I vowed to Sports
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM. All right, it's
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: a Friday, doing all sorts of Friday stuff today, pining
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: up some loosens.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: That's good. We should do Friday stuff on a Friday.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, please start doing that on a Monday boys, somebody else.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Normal Friday bits coming your way, Normal Friday segments coming
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: your way. You and you're getting ready for the weekend.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot going on, a lot going
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: on here behind the scenes. The hamster wheel, it is spinning.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: It's Chuck and Ashley with you. We've got the Oat
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Show coming up at the top of the hour, your
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: eight top stories of the day, So we'll go through
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: all the headlines in great detail, coming your way at
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: eight o'clock. But yesterday we put up a poll. Some
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: of you heard the segments, and I really did appreciate
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: the reaction because there were a lot of like pro
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Chuck reaction, at least pro Chucks Take reaction. Then there
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: was a lot of anti Chucks take. That's a good argument,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: that's a good sports talk radio argument. And I know
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: when you take on a Hugh Millan, I mean, I'm
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you right now, if you want an attorney,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: if you want an amateur attorney, you hire Hugh Millan's
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: attorney at law, because that dude's going to research, he's
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: going to be prepared, and he's just going to give
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: you the best defense possible.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Well, and if nothing else even if maybe he isn't wrong,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: he's got more things to back up oh yeah, his
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: non winning argument than anyone else. And you also could
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: get lost in some of the analogies. So by the
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: end you're like, yes, I think I believe you.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, I mean he's gonna he like a
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: like a Rottwiler on a pork chop. I mean, he's
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: gonna take that thing down, that's what he's going to do.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: So so yeah, So we had this little conversation and
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: I said yesterday, if I lose our poll, that I
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: won't even bring up. And it's one of my favorite topics.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: As sports talk radio hosts. I've been doing this thing
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: for a quarter of a century. I mean every sports
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: talk radio hosts has a couple of things over time
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: that they really kind of go to, fun things that
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: they do. And I don't feel like I do it
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: a lot, but I probably do it more than I should.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: I'll give you that.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: I'd say you do it more than others, but I
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: don't know if it's more than he should.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Like Papa Joe Chevalier, if you remember that name, he
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: had like three topics and he discussed them every day.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I don't do that.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: No, I have a problem if you did.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: One of them was Title nine, by the way.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Spoiler alert, that went out over really well spoiler alert.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: He was against it, shocking Papa Joe what's his.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Name, Chevalley.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: So anyway, so this NBA Draft lottery, I believe that
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: it is rigged, and it has been over time. Hugh
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: is determined to prove that it's not.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: So.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: He and I ended up having a conversation. For those
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: of you that were wondering if there's some bad blood,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: there's not.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: No.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: We can disagree. We're friends, We respect each other. We
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: can have disagreements on certain topics, and sometimes they can
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: even get heated. But he and I ended up in
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: a rather lengthy conversation about this yesterday, and he kind
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: of presented his case to me and got to the
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: end of it and he's like, I'm just not going
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: to convince you, am I, And I said, you give
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: a great argument. I would hire you from my attorney.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: If we went to the court of law. I'd lose
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: to you in a court of law because of all
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: your you know, ven diagrams and your graphs and.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Your tight I'm convincing you that the NBA Draft Lottery
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: is not rigged, right, Not that he's not the idiotic part.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Right, He doesn't believe that it's rigged, and I believe
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: that it is rigged. And so that's kind of gone
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: back and forth here this week. And so anyway, we
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: had a conversation about it yesterday and and he's like,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to convince you of this, am I,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: And I said no, because I'm not trying to convince
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: anyone out there that it is rigged. I'm not sitting
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: in I'm not taking Adam Silver to court for fraud.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to put together a legal team to
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: try to prove because I don't think there is You
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: can't going to be a way to prove that the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: NBA Draft Lottery is rigged. But no, there's no case
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: that you can come up with that is going to
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: convince me that it's not rigged. I just believe that
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: it is. And I don't know how they're doing it.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I just believe that they're doing it. And I don't
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: think it's happening every year. But I think when you
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: have a special player, they are doing things behind the
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: scenes to make sure that that special player gets to
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: the right organization so that he has properly developed, he
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: has put on the in a proper situation what we
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: can get the most out of him, and then I
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: think they do other things to make sure that he
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: has talent around him. I just believe it. I believe
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: in ghosts, I believe in alien life somewhere, even though
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: I've never been probed in.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: A UFO A Mira, I'm glad you haven't.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: I believe in God, and I'm that's a pretty tough
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: one to prove right there, that one. But I do.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: And that's the same thing here. I just believe that
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the NBA Draft lottery is rigged, and I think I
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: presented a lot of evidence yesterday to support my suspicions,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: and then we left it as a poll vote for
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: all of our listeners. Simply the question was is it idiotic?
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Because that's what I was excused of, to be suspicious
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: that the NBA Draft lottery is rigged, and we didn't
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: get a great sample size. You know, they're going to
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: throw this out of the courtroom if we tried to
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: present this as evidence. We didn't get a great response
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: to this, which I was a little disappointed by in
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: terms of votes.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know why we didn't.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but seven out of ten people believe that the
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: NBA Draft lottery is suspicious. So seven out of ten,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: So that means I'll keep talking about it.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yay.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Otherwise I was going to retire it. I was going
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: to retire the entire thing and never bring a back
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: up again. But now you've spoken seven out of ten
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: of you, and so I'll keep bringing this up every year.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm glad because I do like the topic. But nonetheless,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: there you go. That's the update on the poll.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: Update on the poll.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: And again, I don't think anybody's out there saying it's
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: definitely rigged. That's certainly not what I'm saying. But it
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: is awfully suspicious.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: And that's why we phrased it, Is it idiotic to
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: be suspicious? And most people say no, it's not idiotic
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: to be suspicious. I mean, I don't want to put
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: words into other people's mouths, but it might be more
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: idiotic to not be suspicious.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Oh geez, Oh, they've started the fight all over again.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: You're just saying you could at least acknowledge there's some
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: suspicion
• 39:13
