Chuck & Buck 2-26 Hour 4: Load Management isn't the problem! ICYMI: Kevin Seitzer and one last thing. · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We need a little longer runway for today's topic. And
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: so I promised this week, with Bucky away not judging me,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: that I was going to get reckless at breakfast every
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: single day this week. And that's exactly what we have done.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: And we're gonna get reckless here in a moment, right
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: here on Chuck and Ashley. No Bucky in the title today.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I even took it out of the show title today. Wow,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I feel honored. It's more of a shot at Bucky.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm just gonna take it as you.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Take it however you want. That's why. Yeah. But before
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: we get reckless at Breakfast, I gotta tell you I
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: got to update something from yesterday. This is actually pretty funny.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: So we have a salesky very well known in the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: marketplace by the name of Dave Pridemore, and Ashley and
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I did an entire segment talking not half a segment,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: half a segment yesterday talking about how impressed we are
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: with his fashion. Yeah right, was it not like an
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: overly positive.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, talking about how great he isn't, how dapper he looks,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: and how he's straight out of a dang catalog.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's what the segment was about well yesterday,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: as it turned out, well, one of the compliments I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: gave him, as I said, he's like a cauture Fred Rogers.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Uh huh, right, well little So I find out today
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that when he was getting dressed yesterday, he went in
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and he asked his wife, do you like this outfit?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I feel like Fred Rogers? Oh my gosh, oh no,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and she said, she said, that's not my favorite. But no,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think anybody's going to make any
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: comments about it. Oh no. And so by the time
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: that he overheard, because when we were having the segment,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I was watching him through the window here from the studio,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and so he's not listening to the show out there.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: But by the time he heard about it, you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: people talking about his wardrobe, and somebody, a guest, told
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: him that I had compared it to Fred Rogers.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: So he gets home and his wife like, so, did
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: anybody call your sweater of Fred Rogers sweater? And he goes,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, they did on the air,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: so I might. So he tells me this in the kitchen.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you got to go back and listen to it,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: because that was nothing but one compliment after the other.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was I'll send it to him.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so somebody just you know, heard Fred Rogers thought
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't like that, whispered it in your ear, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you were already thinking you were wearing a Fred Rogers
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: sweater to work that day.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I don't remember what time we did that yesterday.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I don't remember either.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna find it because we're gonna send it to him.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: He needs to know.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I almost sent it to him yesterday and be like,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: look at how great we think you are. Yeah, And
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: then I was like, oh, he's not gonna care.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I couldn't. I don't know if I've ever
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: complimented anyone as much as I did in that five.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think you have.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and yet usually you hate people. There's an element
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of truth to that. But yesterday, here I hear I'm thinking,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: is he going to overhear this? And then he heard
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it like we were making fun of him, which couldn't
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: have been further from the truth.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Couldn't have been further from the truth.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So anyway, he's got a little more like a futuristic
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: kind of vest on today.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Oh just so does he look like a futuristic.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, trying to appeal to the kids. I think it
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: looks more like Aaron Rodgers today.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: No, he's not that gaunt.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, You're right, all right, Well, anyway, go
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: listen to it again.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna send it to him.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I promise, complete, complete, there's five minutes of just nothing
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: but giving you compliments.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I'll find it for him by the end of the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: show so that when we walk out there, he's heard it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get a little reckless at breakfast. I'm
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: just gonna go ahead. I wasn't sure how I was
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: going to structure this segment, so I'm just gonna go
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: ahead and give you the headline and then we'll break
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: it down from there. There are a couple of things,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and this isn't just in the NBA. This is throughout
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I probably not football, but this is throughout this sports
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: world right now. There are a couple of like trigger
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: phrases in the modern day. And one of them is tanking,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: which we've discussed a lot, and I'm going to touch
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: upon that again but not make the entire segment about that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And then the other thing is load management, which is
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: both of those things. I mean, they're throughout all the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: sports to a degree, but obviously in the NBA, I mean,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it's a there's not a day that goes by that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: they don't discuss this, haggle over.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: It, and it sounds so negative even though probably wasn't
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: supposed to be.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And so I'm just going to say, as they headline,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: tanking has to go and do whatever it takes to
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: get rid of it. And then also, let's just leave
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: load management alone. And I know that's not popular, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I know how much load management drives people up a wall,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: but I think maybe we don't put any rules in
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: place to govern load management, okay, And the NBA has
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: tried to do this because they think this is also
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a stain on the product. That little Timmy gets to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: go to a game with dad and Uncle Roy and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: it's the only game he gets to go to, his
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: only game that the family can afford. One game. It's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: his birthday, and he goes to the game to watch
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the Spurs, and the Spurs have decided that's the day
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: we're gonna sit Victor wimbin Yama, and Little Timmy's Birthday's
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: ruined in his trip and he swears off basketball for
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the rest of his life, you know, and he has
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to go home in tears. And I hate that for Timmy,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and I hate that for Dad, and I hate that
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: for Uncle Roy. And yet they're not doing it to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: ruin your day. They're actually doing it. To use a
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Jerry Depoto phrase that nobody liked, we're doing you a
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: favor because the city and future Timmy is going to understand.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I'd much rather celebrate a championship than I would making
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: sure that every time I get to go to the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: game that all the best players are playing. And that's
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: why they're doing load management. It's not to strip the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: fan of their opportunity to watch them play. It's not
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: because they're weak where they're soft. It's because organizations have
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: determined that if we can minimize some of the load,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: especially seven footers take on running up and down a
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: court more than eighty two times a year. Because don't
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: forget stupid preseason games in the NBA, which are pointless.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: They also have to play in those games as well,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: plus international competitions and everything else which a Frenchman like
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Victor winbin Yama has to participate in. Otherwise his entire
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: home country hates him for it. It's just a lot.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It's just a lot to put on a guy who's
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: six seven foot six with skinny ankles, very skinny and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: very fragile feet. There's just a lot to put on
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: his plate. And it goes for a lot of players,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and so they have load management to try to manage
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: their load so when they hit the playoffs, we don't
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: have to worry about managing your load. That you can
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: play as many minutes as we deem necessary to win
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that game or that series. And so it is strategy.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: It is useful strategy that not just the NBA uses,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: but also Major League Baseball uses as well. The tenth inning,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Why we start the tenth inning with a runner at second,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that's load management. That's not because we don't want games
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: lasting four and a half hours, because we don't want
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: fans having to stay up till midnight to watch the
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: end of the game and losing. They stop selling beer
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: in the seventh inning. They're not getting beer sales all
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the way to the fourteenth. But what baseball organizations executives,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: not the players. The players didn't say we got to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: get rid of extra innings, you know, And it wasn't
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: owners it was baseball executives that said went to the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: owners and said, we have multi million dollar investments, and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: every time we go to sixteen innings, we have to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: tax our bullpen. Usually we have to re enact as
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: starter at the tail end or have to throw a
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: second basement in the game when the game is on
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the line, and it's just it's more bad than good.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Is there any way that we could have a system
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: in which we don't have to we can kind of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: eliminate the risk of there being sixteen seventeen inning games
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: because it screws us up for a week and a
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: half before we can get our rotation back to where
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: it needs to be, our bullpen back to where it
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: needs to be, and your multi million million dollar investments.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Because they're all over the everybody makes over a million
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: dollars now and some of them are making up to,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you know, sixty million dollars a year. We are asking
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: them to do things that put their health at risk,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and maybe not that night, but maybe the following night
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: or a couple nights later because they did something outside
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: of their routine. And so it was baseball executives and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: managers that wanted to change extra inning rules with the
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: idea of getting games over quicker so that they didn't
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: have to confront throwing thirteen pitchers in one night and
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: screwing up the bullpen for a week and a half.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it makes sense to me, and especially
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: when you're thinking about how long a season is, not
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: just for baseball, for basketball, for all of it. And
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: you've got these people that are, you know, so fine tuned,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: especially basketball players. I mean the specifics and the treatment
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: and the recovery and all of the things. Everything is
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: like a precision sport.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: On its own.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And so if you can do a little rest
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: here and there to allow that to to not have
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: to be an issue in the most important part of
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: the season. I mean, look at the Seahawks and what
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: they did with Ken Walker, and it wasn't load management.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: It was sharing carries, right and well management that load man.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: So how well did that work out? Pretty well? I think?
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I mean he was ready and freshest to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: go at the end of the season.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: After years of dealing with injuries every season.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean even in the NFL, the rough and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: tumble NFL, I mean, there's a reason that we don't
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: play a full fifteen minute quarter. In overtime, it's ten minutes. Even.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: That is an example of the NFL saying, we're already
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: asking him to play seventeen games, as Greg Bell calls them,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: seventeen weeks of car crashes. Yeah, one after the other.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: And so we're only going to play ten minute overtimes.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And if we end up in a tie. We've tried
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: to set up rules to try to, i mean, make
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: it next to them possible to end fl a tie.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: But if we end up in a tie, we're gonna
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: end up in a tie.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll happen.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna play sudden death football until somebody scores next.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna do it. Hockey has gone to shootouts
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: earlier than before three on three hockey. All of that
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: is under the umbrella of load management.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't have the twenty minute overtime period anymore.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Now. It's not to the degree that the NBA where
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: they you know, they're sitting guys on given nights. But
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Cal Raley, there's a chance you're gonna go to a game.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Timmy and Uncle Roy are gonna go to a Mariners
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: game this year, and Cal's not gonna play that day.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And that's not because boy Cal's in a slump. That's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: because we need to manage his time behind the plate.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: He needs a couple of days off here and there,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and we want to not only have cal Raley at
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: his best for most of the season, we are also
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: thinking about what's best for cal Raley in twenty thirty two. Right,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: we still want him to be a productive player in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: twenty We've got him signed to a long term deal.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: We want him to be a lifetime Mariner. We want
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: him to catch till he's thirty five or forty, and
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: then DH for a couple of years after that, and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: then he'll be the manager and then he'll own the team.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, I love this plan, Sign me up for that.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: But it's all under the umbrella of load management. All
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: of that, and some leagues make more drastic examples of it,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and they they obviously are giving players more time off
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: in the NBA than they are in other sports. But
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: again I would remind you that we're talking about seven
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: foot tall people that always end up with ankle and
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: foot injuries. Doesn't matter how healthy they are, they all do.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: They all end up chema logic ones battled through injuries
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: all the time, and so that's what they're trying to do.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: They're trying to protect guys so that teams are at
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: their best at the end of the year and so
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that their superstar players have longer careers because there are
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars now invested
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: in these players and they don't want to run them ragged.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and the load management is different in a
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: team that's trying to make the playoffs than a team
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: that's far away from the playoffs.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Right, You're still trying to keep your players healthy, but
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: there's different.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: But you know, you can't you can't look at the
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: team that's headed for the playoffs and sitting out their
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: best player for a night saying that they're doing something.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: You know that basketball needs to stop like and unlike
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: a team that's not going to make the playoffs and
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: is sitting not their best player because they're trying to
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: lose so they can improve their draft stock.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Well, and then well that slips into the tanking. That's
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: where all the focus needs to be, not trying to
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: lose on purpose. You're absolutely right. The Utah Jazz right
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: now are under investigation because they have put three guys
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: on the injured list, and the NBA is like, they're
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: three best players, just coincidence. But your three best players
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: are hurt right now when you are trying to So
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: they got called out for sitting guys in the third
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: quarter of a game when they were leading. They set
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: out their starters, and oh, they're just going to keep
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: trying to find ways around whatever blockade the NBA puts
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: in front of them, because there's an incentive to lose
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: in the National Basketball Association. So from a tanking perspective,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: put all of your focus, all of your injury on that. Like,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I think we need to come up with the most
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: outside the box, crazy fool proof. There is no incentive
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: for losing in the NBA plan that you can come
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: up with. I don't think the other leagues suffer as
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: much from it. I would like to see a salary
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: cap floor in Major League Baseball. That might help the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: balance competitive balance a little bit more. But i'd make
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: other changes to Major League Baseball as well. But I
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: don't think you have a We are just sitting our
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: best players for draft position. It just doesn't happen in
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the NFL. It just doesn't happen in Major League Baseball,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: it doesn't happen really in the NHL, but it is
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: happening in the National Basketball Association. That needs to get
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: it's snuffed out. There should be no incentive for losing
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: in that sport, considering that you are struggling so mightily
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: with the tanking issue. But you are absolutely right, Ashley.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: If they are sitting guys to tank the season, that's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: one thing. Sitting guys so you will be at your
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: best at the end of the season, that's a completely
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: different thing. And frankly, that's what you should be rooting for,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: is to have your team at its best when it
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: matters most. And this is part of the process. The
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: whole reason I'm bringing this up is because right now
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: there is a conversation going on in the NBA and
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: this is silly. How silly is this? The MVP they
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: have put in rules that are forcing guys to play.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: If you were going to win the MVP, you have
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to play at least sixty five games during the course
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: of the season. So right now, the MVP conversation that
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: is being held is Jokic and Sga are the most
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: valuable player in the league. But they are at risk
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: if they have an injury here down the stretch of
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: not playing in the sixty five games, which automatically eliminates
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: them from the MVP conversation. That's just stupid, automatically eliminate.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: So there's they're like two different graphs. They're like, who's
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the actual MVP of the league. Nikoli Jokich is averaging
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: twenty nine points per game and leads the league in
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: rebounds and assists.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's incredible.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, let me say that again. Twenty nine points
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: per game and he leads the league in rebounds, and
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: he leads the league in assess But because he might
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: end up only playing sixty four games this year and
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: somebody else plays sixty six, because they all load manage,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: with the exception of Philadelphia and Maxi, they all load
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: managed to a certain degree. So the guy with sixty
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: six games can win the MVP, but the guy with
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: sixty four games can't. Or the guy would I mean,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: take it down even further, a guy with sixty five
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: games and win the MVP A guy with sixty four camp.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: And that's ridiculous, and that's.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Ridiculous, and that's what I'm saying they're putting in rules.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's actually something you could sue
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the league for. Well, you kept me from winning the NBA,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: or you forced me to play more. I got hurt
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: so that I could have an MVP, and now I'm suing.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I think you have opened yourself up to a lawsuit
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: by having this rule in place where you have to
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: play at least sixty five games. And I would add
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: one more thing to that. Victor Wembin Yama is never
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: going to play sixty five games in a season. It's
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: just not gonna happen. He's seven foot six, He's got
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: ankles the size of my pencil. Pen Thank you, I'm
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: using a pen.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Thank you for saying pencil.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it just sounds better. Pencil sounds better. Yeah. No,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: he's got ankles the size of twizzlers. And they're not
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: going to risk that investment, nor should they, nor should
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: they long term, just so he can meet some sort
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: of quota of sixty five games per year to have
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: a shot at the MVP. Can you imagine Victor wimin
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Yama for the rest of his career being eliminated from
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: any MVP because the Spurs and Victor have decided you're
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: going to be best for us long term by playing
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: sixty to sixty five games per year. We might not
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: ever play you more than sixty five games because we
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: have to manage your body, your physique, and of course
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: your greatness as best as we can. So I don't know,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: maybe limit the number of teams that make the playoffs
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: and then maybe you will get.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: More Yeah, I don't think you need play in games.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Right, Maybe you will get more players playing more games
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: that way. Maybe that's the incentive that you that you need.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: But at this stage, you know your you don't. You
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: have way too many teams making the playoffs with the playos,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: and then you're trying to tell somebody that knows they're
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: going to make the playoffs how to manage their personnel.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's no, there's no need for any of that.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: And can you imagine also winning the MVP though, and
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: you're because the other guys that were the MVP didn't
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: play enough games.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I mean I'd be like, no, thanks, I don't think
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I want this award.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine having played sixty four games and I'm
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: automatically eliminated and then the winner played one more game
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: than me, yeah, might have even played fewer minutes, but
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: they put these rules in place to try to keep
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: people from load management. Bottom line is do whatever you can,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: especially NBA because I don't think that the other leagues
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: suffer from it as much. But do whatever you can.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Come up with the most creative thing possible this offseason,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and I mean put it through the ringer. Come up
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: with whatever rules are required to not incentivize losing anymore
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: in the National Basketball Association and eliminating tanking forever. But
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: then just keep your hands completely off load management. Leave
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: it to the excit ecutives, leave it to the coaches,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: leave it to the players to figure out what's the
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: best way for us. Because those that are trying to
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: figure out the best way to win a championship aren't
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: trying to builk Little Timmy and Uncle Roy out of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: their hard earned money. They're not trying to make anybody cry.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: They're trying to do what's best for the team that
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: year when it matters most. And also it is best
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: for the franchise to make sure that Victor wemban Yama
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: has a fifteen year career and not a seven year career.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Go watch the Celtics Dynasty documentary made by Bill Simmons,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and watch what Kevin McHale and Larry Bird did to
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: try to play every night. Yeah, and then realize had
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: they not, had we had Larry Bird playing in today's game,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: where they would have actually managed his injuries and his
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: back and everything else a little better. Yeah, he's a warrior.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: We give him credit for that for wanting to play
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: every night, that's great. But had they managed him like
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: they did today, we would have had five more years
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: of greatness from Larry Bird and he wouldn't have been
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: a thirty year old who had to lay on the
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: floor every time he was taken out of a game
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: because his back was out, Like, why did it? What
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: were what we used to do? Yeah, they were tough,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: they were rugged. Good for them. They know they went
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: into the lane and they got splatted on the court.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Good for them. It was a much tougher athlete back then.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: But I kind of wish we would have infused some
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: of this logic into the way that we handled injuries
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: back then, and we might have been treated to a
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: lot greater careers than what we had Because people were
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: run into the ground and driven out of the league
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: with injuries by the time they were thirty one years old.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. I couldn't agree more. And also, you
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: know you could shorten the playoffs. I don't know, just
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: saying like that, Shorge.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why don't you shorten the playoffs? Why don't you
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: have had fewer teams if you want to incentivize people
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: to play, you don't want to give up any money
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: you want into lineups when the organizations are sitting there
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: saying this is better for us, this is better for
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: our fans. Yeah, this gives us a better chance to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: win at the end of the season. Joe Embiid can't
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: make it through a full season without getting injured. That's proven. Yes,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: a lot right Coming up next in case you missed it,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Kevin Seitzer Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Bob
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Bucky's not here today, but he was with the last
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: week in Peoria, Arizona for our award winning and we
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: did win an award for it. Mariner's spring training coverage. Yeah.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I had to take the tenfoil though and use it
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to make a baked potato the next day, But nonetheless
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: we did win an award for it. At one point
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: and so that's where we were last week, gathering all
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: these interviews, trying to talk to the people you want
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to hear from and about the things you want to
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: hear us talk about. And one of those interviews was
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Kevin Seitzer, who we had early in the morning. I
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: think it was Thursday, six o'clock, six am on Thursday,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the Hitting Instructor, and so I'm sure some of you
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: that typically listen at this time of the morning didn't
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: get to hear our conversation. And he's one of our
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: favorite people to interview. He is outstanding. And so we
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: sat down with the Hitting Instructor and we're going to
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: pick up the part of the conversation, and it was
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: a lengthy one, if you want to check it out
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: at ninety three to three KJR dot com. We're gonna
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: play just a little bit of it for you, and
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pick up the spot where I was
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: talking to him about how hitters do have the penchant
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: in the off season to try to tinker with things,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: but when you have a player like cal Rawley, I mean,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: how much would it bother you if he came back
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: the very next year and he'd changed some things in
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: his repertoire.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: The big was conviction to the approach. But probably I
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: think he you know, the first couple weeks of the season,
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: he was struggling big time, and he started working i
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: would say maybe a week after we got into the
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: season on some mechanical adjustments. He hesitancy get too far forward,
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: you know, a little jumpy kind of falling, kind of crashing,
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: closing space, and and so he really focused on you know,
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: the old the old line of stay back, and that
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: was kind of one of the things that that really
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: turned him loose and set him free to be able
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: to to to not jump and let the ball travel,
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: and then to be able to stay behind the ball
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: and work the ball middle of the field. And you know,
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: he still pulled a ton of balls because he wasn't
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: going to be laid on fastballs. Was why he pulled
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: so many homers. But you know, his his mindset was
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: middle of the field and be on time. And so
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: he he's he's very smart too. His he's he knows
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: how to think in the batter's box. And it was
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: like the hottery, the easier it was for him to
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: to sit pitches hard and soft, and you know, he
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: just he just did a great job.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: It was a tremendous goose bump type season watching him
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: do what he did.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: He picked up a few fans along the way. Kevin
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Sitzer is with us. Let's combine the last two questions
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: in one. Uh, the what your role is in the
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: off season with cal? I mean, what if he comes
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: up and he's like, hey, I know we had a
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: good year together last year, but I'm really going to
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: incorporate this Gary Sheffield batwiggle. I mean, I think you
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: would have had a heart attack if if each ye
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Row would have gotten to me would have showed up
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: at spring being a slap hitter. So what what do
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you do in that case when people are tinkering too much?
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Well, number one, he didn't do that. Number two, I
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: would ask him if they're stupid. You know, when guys
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: have great the worst thing that they can try and
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: do is get better. You had a great year, You
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: had a really solid year. And the one thing we
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: talk about a lot as a player's identity and you know,
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: being able to stay within that identity, and you know,
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: our guys really, I mean, hats off to all of
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: them being committed to that last year because there's there's
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: lots of reminders, lots of conversations not just from the
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: hitting coaches, but from Dan Manny, I mean, all the staff,
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: and it's like, we're talking about our identity, each guy individually,
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: us as a team, and let's let's go lay it
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: out there.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: I gotta ask one about the somewhat new guy, Josh
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Naylor that we got locked up for you know, a
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: few more years after this, just I mean, I love
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: his approach. It seems like just an old school ballplayer,
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: the way that he kind of goes about his business
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: of what was it that you saw when he came over?
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Did you know him before he came over, and what
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: does he bring to the table, because he seems like
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: a guy that between the years has has got a
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: damn good idea what he's doing up there.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't know him before. When he got here,
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: you know, you're in a you're in the heat of battle, man,
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, you're pushing towards playoffs and all of that,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: and you just kind of want to come alongside him
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: and ask questions. And you don't want to ask too
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: many questions because they're in the middle of the season
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: and you want him to do what they do. But
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: it was really mostly let him play, ask questions when
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: I saw things that I, you know, kind of didn't
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: care for, maybe thought adjustment might be needed. And he
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: was stinking awesome. I mean flat awesome. Dude can flat hit.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Dude knows how to play the game. Dude has the
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: greatest feel and cord awareness between the lines maybe of
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: anybody that I've ever been around. And that's a big
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: statement for me, because I don't I won't make that.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: I played with a lot of guys who were just
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: flat ballplayers, who who knew the game and saw the
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: game and saw the little details that you know, it's like, oh,
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: that was pretty good. Oh the second baseman shading a
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: little bit on changeups and you know, da da da
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: da da, and you know when the picture does this
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: or that, you know, it's like, holy cow, that was
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: that was pretty impressive that Josh is picking up on that.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: He'd be barking. He he's up on the rail watching
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: everything all the time, and and just great leadership qualities, hitters, meetings,
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: giving feedback, helping the young guys, and dude just got
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: flap back to ball skills. I mean, he can just
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: hit hit for average. When when he stays with I'm
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: just gonna be a base hit machine, that's when it's
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: really special.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Kevin Sitzer is with us a hitting instructor for the Mariners, says.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: So we continue here on our start to our day
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: two of spring training coverage on Chuck and Buck. Let's
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: ask you your first impression of the newer guy, Brendan Donovan.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: What is your feel on him thus far?
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Gonna fit right in here like a glove. Yeah, And
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: he's just He's he's awesome. I'm everything we heard about him,
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: the makeup, everything is just it's been spot on. We
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: got a couple guys. Pap O, our minor league hitting coordinator,
• 29:35

  Speaker 4: But Donnie's just been great, opening up conversations, what he likes,
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: what he needs, what he wants. A very very impressive
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: dude too, as far as preparation and the process, and

• 31:44
  Speaker 1: one last thing to close out the show today. What
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: do you got back there?
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure you know of Brooke Owls and dam
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: She is the sideline reporter for the Portland Trailblazers and
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: good friend of the stations. She used to work in
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: the building when she did comcast stuff for Softy Show,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: and she posted on X yesterday that she wanted to
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: be transparent with everyone. She is not on the current
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Trailblazer's road trip because she was diagnosed with blood clots
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: and a pulmonary embolism last week and spent three days
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: in the hospital. So now she's on blood thinning medications
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: and trying to get back to being healthy as quickly
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: as she can. So I just wanted to let our
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: listeners know because I think that a lot of them
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: are familiar with Brooke, and she's just such a wonderful, kind,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: awesome person. She raises so much money for the American
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Heart Association, and so I just wanted everybody to think,
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: you know, send all your positive vibes her way so
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: she can heal up quickly and get back to work,
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: because she just loves work.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: She loves what she does, she loves being out in
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: the community.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: And I know that she's not feeling her best right now,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: so I just wanted to send her well wishes.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: It's such a scary thing, and it happens more and more.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: It feels like I don't remember ever hearing about this
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: sort of thing. I guess I know blood clots have
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: always been around, but it just it feels like it's
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: just a spin of the wheel. Yeah, Like I mean,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: you would think it's You would think I would think
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: that I am at risk because you know, I watch
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I sit around watch a lot of sports, and I
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: sit around when I write, which is my hobby, and
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: you sit around and watch TV every once in a
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: while just for fun or a movie or something like that.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I would think that I'm a and I sit at work. Yeah,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: so I would think I'm a bit of a candidate
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: for this, but it just feels like I mean, Victor
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: wember Yama had one last year. Is anyone more active
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: than that guy? I know, I don't know how to
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: figure out why this happens. I guess they can't figure
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: it out either, But it's scary. It's scary because because
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: of stories like this, because it could just happen to
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: you at any moment, and you don't even know if
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: you're a candidate for it or not.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Right, there's not any way to go say, like, am
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: I susceptible to this situation? And she shared that after Share,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: she was resharing Chris Bosh's post about what he had
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: just dealt with and he of course had blood clots
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: and very famously right, and so she shared then said,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: you know, on that note, I should be transparent. I
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: am currently dealing with this situation. Yeah, but it is.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: It is scary, and I just hope that she's back
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: to feeling like herself very soon.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah man, Yeah, yeah, I don't know her, but yes,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: hopefully everything's okay there, Yes, just a scary situation. And
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: then and then you hear the horror stories about like, well,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: at any moment and just jump into your heart, yeah,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: jumping to your brain and then you're dead right. Wow,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: that's not uplifting.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: And there's nothing I can do. Cool.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: So so yeah, I think it's one of the scarier
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: things out there. In fact that it's happening to more
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: and more people terrifying.
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: All Right, the pajama party gets started in two hours here,
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: so the National Football League combine and and you know,
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: I'm very well aware.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: My eyes are wide open. I get it. I get it.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: We went too far, we gave it too much at it.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Teams got carried away with forty times there for a while,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: made mistakes. I still view it as a valuable tool
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: for all of us draftnicks out there, and so I
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: will be watching, even if you won't be watching, even
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: if you won't give it the time of day, even
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: though even if you think that it doesn't have any impact.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: As father, draft Miss, I got you covered. Don't worry, listening, audience,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I got you covered. And so I will be watching
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: for most of the next four days and trying to
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: gather as much information, hurting it like a shepherd.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: You're a man of the people.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So that when Draft miss does arrive. I'll at
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: least have a little substance behind my analysis and evaluation,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: along with of course my draft MIAs spirit, which will
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: power small villages.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: It does every season.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, And I would like, though, if you could, instead
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: of hurting it like a shepherd, if you could herd
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: like a corgie, because let me just tell you, as
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: a corky owner, there's nothing that hurts you in any direction.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: You're already going like a corgy. Like he just nips
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: at your feet and he's like, no, I want you
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: to go this way. You're like, bro, I'm already going
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: this way. You're just following.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Do they have like herding? Oh?
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what they did.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: They heard what was the animal?
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with sheep.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Sheep.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: But that's why they don't have tails anymore because their
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: tails will get stepped on by the animals.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was sheep. It was maybe sheep,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: cow's horse. I don't know all sorts of animals.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: The terriers are like, there's a rat terrier, because they're ratters.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: They're all ratters. They're like they're specific libret because they
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: could get into their faces, could get into holes and
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: they can pull out rats. Yeah, when it used to
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: be a much bigger problem, I could guess yes, uh
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: and so and so. I didn't know that Corgi's were
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: had lineage because they don't look very athletic.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: No, well they're very I mean they're quite fast.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: I will say that it's surprising, but yeah, Like I
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: will go from the kitchen to my office and he
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: will follow right on the heels and like push me
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: towards my office the direction I'm already going.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: I'm like, well, yeah, you're I guess not great at this.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I used to hurt people.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's what they He certainly tries to heard his.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: People way back in the day, back in Scotland.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: I suddenly started hearing Scottish bagpipes like playing in my.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: And see the tall grass on the hills on the moors. Yeah,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: and Corgy's just hurting humans. They couldn't figure out where
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: to go or how to get there.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Good work, Corgizia did.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: It, and they heard them right into the bar.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Nicely done guinness or a whiskey. Yeah, belly up to
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: the bar.
