- 0:00Speaker 1: Trophies in sports. MLB's kind of cool, but it doesn't
- 0:05Speaker 1: I don't know, it doesn't do much for it in
- 0:07Speaker 1: the little penance things sticking up, but kind of all right,
- 0:09Speaker 1: the flags, the Larry O'Brian trophy right in the NBA,
- 0:13Speaker 1: the big basketball iconic. Yeah it's it's a good one. Yeah,
- 0:17Speaker 1: Lombardi Trophy pretty.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Good, classic, super classic.
- 0:21Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:21Speaker 1: I was kind of thinking today there's one that stands
- 0:24Speaker 1: above them all. Yeah, it's just it's not even it's
- 0:27Speaker 1: like it's it's they're in a class by themselves there
- 0:31Speaker 1: for me, which okay? Which ones?
- 0:33Speaker 3: So?
- 0:33Speaker 4: Stanley Cup okay? And the World Cup, the gold of
- 0:40Speaker 4: the World Cup with.
- 0:43Speaker 1: You know what was a damn cool trophy was they
- 0:46Speaker 1: brought that Club World Cup trophy last year.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Yeah, that was really cool.
- 0:50Speaker 1: I mean the Club World Cup is kind of a whatever.
- 0:53Speaker 2: It's a mad thing.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very mad, but the trophy itself was cool.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:58Speaker 1: I I we could have a little conversation day with people.
- 1:02Speaker 1: If you want four, nine, four or five.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Best trophy in sports, I would just.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Say this, if you could get your picture take in
- 1:09Speaker 1: holding one of the trophies. Now, the Cup, you're not
- 1:11Speaker 1: supposed touch unless you want it right.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Same as the World Cup.
- 1:14Speaker 1: By the way, is it same with the World Cup?
- 1:15Speaker 3: Yep.
- 1:16Speaker 1: We were lucky enough in twenty training camp of twenty
- 1:21Speaker 1: fourteen with the Seahawks twenty fourteen. Yeah, training camp at
- 1:25Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, because they won it in February twenty fourteen,
- 1:29Speaker 1: So that training camp that following summer, we were lucky enough.
- 1:34Speaker 1: On the set when we were doing training camp shows
- 1:36Speaker 1: for Fox thirteen, Aaron Levine, myself and God by the
- 1:40Speaker 1: name of Dave Wyman. I don't know what he's up to.
- 1:42Speaker 2: You never never heard of it?
- 1:43Speaker 1: You used to play football? Oh okay, we were doing
- 1:45Speaker 1: the we were doing the show. We had a like
- 1:47Speaker 1: they call it a versa desk, like an anchor desk there. Yeah,
- 1:49Speaker 1: we're sitting at and we had I got a picture
- 1:51Speaker 1: of it somewhere. They brought the they brought the Lombardi
- 1:53Speaker 1: Trophy out there, and we had it on the set
- 1:54Speaker 1: the whole time.
- 1:54Speaker 5: Wow.
- 1:55Speaker 1: For like the first show of training camp, it was
- 1:58Speaker 1: it was damn cool. I'll be honest with you. It
- 1:59Speaker 1: was really good. Be the coolest thing I've seen and held.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Hannah Bilka from the Torrent brought her gold medal. Oh
- 2:05Speaker 1: that for the for the uh rocking part.
- 2:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:10Speaker 1: So right after she won it, she was on set
- 2:13Speaker 1: with Alice and Brett and I and she brought and
- 2:16Speaker 1: And it's funny because one of the things I was
- 2:18Speaker 1: gonna ask her. I was gonna say, hey, you know,
- 2:19Speaker 1: where's the where's the gold medal? You know, like, what
- 2:22Speaker 1: do you do with it?
- 2:23Speaker 3: Is it? You know?
- 2:24Speaker 1: Do you have it like in your permanent home? Your
- 2:26Speaker 1: parents have it? Because she's young, she's like twenty one,
- 2:29Speaker 1: you know. I mean I can't imagine it's sitting in
- 2:31Speaker 1: a you know, a studio apartment in Queen Anne or something,
- 2:34Speaker 1: you know. And I was gonna ask her that, and
- 2:36Speaker 1: she comes walking in and she just she pulls out
- 2:38Speaker 1: of her like her her bag or pulls it out
- 2:41Speaker 1: of her person and puts it on and she goes, hey,
- 2:43Speaker 1: you guys want to hold it? And she starts passing around.
- 2:45Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that's okay, cool, Well now you answer
- 2:47Speaker 1: the question where is it? Yeah? But it's an Olympic
- 2:52Speaker 1: gold medal is just amazing. Like it's it's heavy, it's thick.
- 2:57Speaker 1: I mean, it's everything you would want it to be.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Like honest, like in terms of this, there's nothing cheap
- 3:01Speaker 1: about it. But yeah, if you could, if you get
- 3:03Speaker 1: your picture taken, you want to be holding one trophy Lombardi,
- 3:07Speaker 1: Larry O'Brien, MLB, Stanley Cup, World Cup. What would it be?
- 3:10Speaker 1: Four nine, four to five. We got a little fun
- 3:12Speaker 1: with that, good one. I like that. Yeah, and so
- 3:14Speaker 1: you for you be the World Cup, right.
- 3:16Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I just there's so many iconic and
- 3:19Speaker 4: I know people can say this for any trophy. Obviously
- 3:21Speaker 4: that's a championship, but there's so many iconic pictures of
- 3:23Speaker 4: like the best players throughout the last fifty sixty years
- 3:27Speaker 4: that are.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Holding that thing.
- 3:28Speaker 4: And I like how it's a little bit smaller personally
- 3:31Speaker 4: that it's like so you can kind of hold it
- 3:33Speaker 4: in one hand and really like fully, you know, encapsulate everything.
- 3:36Speaker 4: And then it's the complete opposite with the Stanley Cup, right,
- 3:38Speaker 4: it's the biggest one.
- 3:40Speaker 1: It's just iconic. Yeah, yeah, Well, and the thing with
- 3:44Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup is it's you want your name engraved
- 3:48Speaker 1: on it, right, you know, like it's it's you want
- 3:50Speaker 1: your name engraved on it, and so it stays there
- 3:54Speaker 1: for probably the rest of your lifetime. They have different
- 3:56Speaker 1: cylinders they've replaced over the years, and wrestlers in the
- 3:59Speaker 1: hy in the Hockey Hall of Fame. But yeah, you
- 4:02Speaker 1: want it on there. You want to the way they
- 4:04Speaker 1: treat the trophy afterwards, you take it. You know, every
- 4:08Speaker 1: every player on the winning team and coach gets to
- 4:10Speaker 1: take it for a day somewhere over the off season.
- 4:14Speaker 1: So you know, these guys are bringing it back to
- 4:16Speaker 1: small towns Saskatchewan or Manitoba, up north in Prince George,
- 4:20Speaker 1: British Columbia or someplace and then just getting after it,
- 4:23Speaker 1: drinking at of it, partying with it, taking into it.
- 4:25Speaker 1: I know when when the Devils won it years ago,
- 4:30Speaker 1: Turner Stevenson played junior hockey here for the Thunderbirds and
- 4:33Speaker 1: he was with He was on the New Jersey Devil's
- 4:35Speaker 1: team that won it, with Marty Broduor and all those kinds.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I think claudelam you might have been on a team too,
- 4:40Speaker 1: but they were. He took it. Turner took it. They
- 4:43Speaker 1: had a huge bash out at so Holly Country Club
- 4:45Speaker 1: for a bunch of family and friends and some longtime
- 4:48Speaker 1: supporters and stuff like Billett families and stuff like that.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Old teammates, which is really cool. So yeah, let's bring
- 4:53Speaker 1: it on, baby, Like, Yeah, I like the Stanley Cup.
- 4:55Speaker 1: I think if I was a taken number two because
- 4:56Speaker 1: I've had the I've been around that a few times,
- 5:00Speaker 1: had a couple of pictures taken with guys at one
- 5:02Speaker 1: and it's it's been forevers when I was in Salt Lake.
- 5:05Speaker 1: The World Cup would be cool to see. I'll tell
- 5:08Speaker 1: you this, Larry O'Brien trophy for some reason doesn't do
- 5:11Speaker 1: anything for me. It's not my anti NBA sentiment right now, it's.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Just the trophy itself you're talking about.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Yeah, just the basketball Baseball's is weird because I don't
- 5:22Speaker 1: know what. I don't know what it is with that one.
- 5:25Speaker 1: It's just kind of it's the World Series. I think
- 5:28Speaker 1: it's more about the pennant hanging in your building. I
- 5:29Speaker 1: think that's the banner that means more, right, Like, I
- 5:33Speaker 1: think that's what means more. But yeah, four nine, four
- 5:35Speaker 1: or five to one, your favorite to a favorite along
- 5:37Speaker 1: the way, so we can get some thoughts on that
- 5:39Speaker 1: Mariners will lose. Yesterday finally gave a serious of the
- 5:41Speaker 1: Mets eight game winning Street comes an end. At least
- 5:43Speaker 1: there was no doubt about it. They got smoked, but
- 5:45Speaker 1: that was bound to happen, so some porous defense. It
- 5:48Speaker 1: sounds like behind Kirby, he actually there's a number out
- 5:52Speaker 1: there guys are talking about today a little bit that
- 5:55Speaker 1: his defensive support is not very good. So did he
- 5:59Speaker 1: get banged around a little bit yesterday? It sounds like it.
- 6:02Speaker 1: But there were some also some things that were like
- 6:04Speaker 1: exit v low of sixty that kind of hurt him.
- 6:06Speaker 1: So I think my worry meaning for George Kirby is
- 6:11Speaker 1: probably about a one, maybe a two.
- 6:13Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd say it's a little higher just because it's
- 6:15Speaker 4: been a multiple in a row.
- 6:16Speaker 1: But if you look at Wenel Softy had the stat
- 6:18Speaker 1: was like the last four games, is CRA's over seven
- 6:20Speaker 1: or something?
- 6:21Speaker 4: Yeah, So I mean it's but that's going to happen.
- 6:23Speaker 4: We saw that happen with Brian Woo. Look how look
- 6:25Speaker 4: what's going on with Brian Woo lately? He's been absolutely dominant, right.
- 6:27Speaker 1: But Brian wu had a couple of blips on the
- 6:29Speaker 1: radar screen and it's just an absolute he by the way,
- 6:33Speaker 1: he's got to be your game one starter.
- 6:35Speaker 4: Yes, see for me, he is like if you're talking
- 6:38Speaker 4: who were you feel most confident with on the mound
- 6:41Speaker 4: right now in a game one playoff situation, I'm going
- 6:44Speaker 4: Brian Wu And who's number two?
- 6:46Speaker 2: Honestly, Bryce Miller.
- 6:47Speaker 4: Honestly, I'm being completely like combined with how he looked
- 6:52Speaker 4: in the playoffs last year, and he was your best
- 6:54Speaker 4: starting pitcher in the playoffs last year, and with his
- 6:56Speaker 4: beginning of the season this year, if he stays healthy
- 6:58Speaker 4: the rest of this year, and I'm going Bryce Miller
- 7:00Speaker 4: with game.
- 7:01Speaker 1: How crazy is it that we're talking about Well, first
- 7:03Speaker 1: of all, that we're talking about this and we can't.
- 7:06Speaker 1: I don't care what any of anybody else who you
- 7:09Speaker 1: do you, I'm talking about this. I think they're in
- 7:11Speaker 1: first place the rest of the year. I've said that before.
- 7:14Speaker 1: I said that when they were five games under five hundred.
- 7:17Speaker 1: I didn't care. It's this. It's nuts, though, that we're
- 7:20Speaker 1: talking about something like that. And the names Castile, Gilbert,
- 7:24Speaker 1: and Kirby are not the ones we mentioned.
- 7:26Speaker 4: Right, I know the three elder statesmen of the starting rotation.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's definitely Wu number one, maybe
- 7:36Speaker 1: Miller two.
- 7:37Speaker 4: The question is who's three right now? If you're going
- 7:39Speaker 4: by this year, it's Emerson, Hancock.
- 7:41Speaker 1: It's Hancock, right.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Which is crazy.
- 7:45Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to trust your number six
- 7:46Speaker 1: starter necessarily and A I don't know. I long a lot.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Of baseball to be players.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Here's the thing, it's a damn good problem to happen.
- 7:54Speaker 2: Great problem.
- 7:55Speaker 1: If your problem is deciding whether or not George Kirby,
- 7:59Speaker 1: through his recent scifels, is a guy that's going to
- 8:01Speaker 1: be in a playoff rotation, that's a pretty damn good
- 8:04Speaker 1: that's a good problem to have. Yeah, Like, that's a
- 8:06Speaker 1: really good problem to happen.
- 8:07Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 8:07Speaker 4: And then obviously if we're if we're talking playoffs at
- 8:10Speaker 4: this point, which we you know we are June.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Fourth, Hey, hey Anders, yeah we are, we are.
- 8:15Speaker 2: It's fine, lean into it, right.
- 8:17Speaker 4: Uh, then then you have an even deeper bullpen because
- 8:19Speaker 4: you're moving those guys into the bullpen. So those are
- 8:23Speaker 4: what two three more arms and that's not even mentioned
- 8:26Speaker 4: Kate Anderson, who I still believe is going to be
- 8:28Speaker 4: some sort of a factor in this at some point
- 8:31Speaker 4: this year. That's that's two three more arms that you
- 8:34Speaker 4: feel comfortable with. Uh it come playoff time.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Well, they've been lucky because by and large outside of Miller,
- 8:40Speaker 1: you know, slow start of the year and coming off
- 8:41Speaker 1: the injured list. But they've been healthy, right, so that's
- 8:45Speaker 1: that's the good thing. We're gonna talk a little bit
- 8:47Speaker 1: about that with you know, Sarrus at one twenty today,
- 8:49Speaker 1: the health of the Mariner pitch or the health of
- 8:51Speaker 1: pitchers and just baseball players as a whole round. But
- 8:54Speaker 1: they were a really good story in the athletic The
- 8:56Speaker 1: correlation in some ways is colective of how much your
- 9:01Speaker 1: payroll is in terms of how healthy you are, and
- 9:04Speaker 1: it may not be what you think. And we'll explain
- 9:06Speaker 1: that coming up a little bit. Manners actually, by the way,
- 9:09Speaker 1: are fairly and this is organization wide, like top to
- 9:12Speaker 1: bottom major leagues down to Arizona, you know, instructional League.
- 9:17Speaker 1: They're a pretty healthy team or a pretty healthy organization.
- 9:20Speaker 1: They've done a pretty good job, which is wild because
- 9:21Speaker 1: I think we, you know, we're like, why was Cal
- 9:24Speaker 1: why they waste a lot to put Cal on the
- 9:25Speaker 1: injured list, or why are we doing this and why
- 9:27Speaker 1: are we doing that? Right, They've been a pretty healthy organization.
- 9:29Speaker 1: We'll talk to you know about that among other things
- 9:31Speaker 1: at one twenty Jalensindell is scheduled to join us today
- 9:34Speaker 1: right after practice. That's probably coming up around two twenty again,
- 9:37Speaker 1: so we'll take your text before then. Four nine four
- 9:39Speaker 1: five one. I'd love to get some talkbacks as well.
- 9:41Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app red microphone away, go speak into that for
- 9:43Speaker 1: thirty seconds or less. Yeah, I'm gonna go, you know,
- 9:45Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go back out and look at

- 11:59Speaker 1: Hey, I thoroughly enjoyed. As I'm driving home and listening
- 12:03Speaker 1: to KJR e other the day, I thoroughly enjoyed Gary
- 12:05Speaker 1: Bettman the commission of the NHL. He went right after
- 12:08Speaker 1: ed Zough like he was pulling no punches, right, he had,
- 12:11Speaker 1: he was having none of it. I love that.
- 12:13Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 12:13Speaker 3: I got to him. I got to him first in
- 12:15Speaker 3: the hallway before he went in the booth.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fantastic. I want to talk crack, Yes, I
- 12:21Speaker 1: want to talk crack. In a second, John, let's first
- 12:23Speaker 1: start about the game again, all the games on the
- 12:26Speaker 1: radio side, John and Edzo Billy Jaffie will have him
- 12:29Speaker 1: here for you. We'll have him on KJR. But you
- 12:31Speaker 1: didn't even have a chance to settle in twenty five
- 12:33Speaker 1: seconds in, it's one nothing Carolina. Pretty soon it's two nothing,
- 12:36Speaker 1: and we're thinking about, oh, this is the route could
- 12:38Speaker 1: be on. What's going to happen here? Carter Hart makes
- 12:40Speaker 1: a save on a breakaway and lo and behold we
- 12:42Speaker 1: have one of the most epic game ones ever. What
- 12:45Speaker 1: was your read on on what we saw on Tuesday
- 12:47Speaker 1: and how that may translate to the rest of the series.
- 12:51Speaker 3: Well, you have to be ready, especially with Carolina, you know,
- 12:54Speaker 3: drop of the puck. Don't be you know, trying to
- 12:57Speaker 3: set the scene or anything, because anything's possible. I mean
- 13:00Speaker 3: the first game of the Eastern Conference Final, Seth Jarvis
- 13:03Speaker 3: scored thirty three seconds in and this goal by Nikolai
- 13:06Speaker 3: Eieler's best of that, you know, And it's just it's
- 13:10Speaker 3: how they play, right, And so they're great front runners.
- 13:13Speaker 3: And what I mean by that is they're great in
- 13:14Speaker 3: front of the game. The Hurricanes they can manufacture leads
- 13:19Speaker 3: and when they do, they're tough to come back against.
- 13:22Speaker 3: And here come the Golden Knights, and that, to me
- 13:26Speaker 3: is what was so impressive about Game one is the
- 13:28Speaker 3: fact that Vegas, who's been a terrific third period team
- 13:31Speaker 3: all year, great at comebacks all season, great at comebacks
- 13:35Speaker 3: in the playoffs, was able to do it against that team.
- 13:39Speaker 3: And the Hurricanes were machine like in the Eastern Conference Final.
- 13:42Speaker 3: They're just overpowered and dominated Montreal side from the first game.
- 13:46Speaker 3: And so it sets up a very interesting game too,
- 13:50Speaker 3: because you have to think, you know, the confidence and
- 13:52Speaker 3: the great feel is in that Vegas locker room, you know,
- 13:56Speaker 3: And now we'll see if the Hurricanes can be better
- 14:00Speaker 3: some of their self infliction which caused them troubles. But
- 14:04Speaker 3: most importantly, you know, throw their best game at the
- 14:07Speaker 3: Golden Knights and see where it goes. You know, I
- 14:09Speaker 3: think it's going to be a long series. I just
- 14:11Speaker 3: think tonight's game might determine a lot of that.
- 14:14Speaker 1: The first game with Montreal in the Eastern Conference Finals,
- 14:17Speaker 1: Carolina also lost at home, But a lot of people
- 14:19Speaker 1: saying this one felt different on Tuesday. Do you think
- 14:22Speaker 1: it was different than the Montreal game one?
- 14:25Speaker 3: Yeah, far different because the Hurricanes were just bad, and
- 14:29Speaker 3: they hadn't been bad in months, and they were coming
- 14:33Speaker 3: off an eleven day layoff, and they scored first and
- 14:37Speaker 3: then that was it. It was four to one before
- 14:39Speaker 3: you could take a second look at things, and they
- 14:41Speaker 3: got steamrolled. And they looked at video the next day
- 14:45Speaker 3: and Rod Brindemore said, ten of our guys, ten of
- 14:49Speaker 3: our guys had their worst game of the season. So
- 14:52Speaker 3: I think for an elite team, they can throw that
- 14:54Speaker 3: in the bin and move on. And they did and
- 14:56Speaker 3: they proved that. But for me, what they did the
- 14:58Speaker 3: other night was played pretty well, not great, but pretty well.
- 15:01Speaker 3: And Vegas played pretty well, not great. Vegas gave away
- 15:06Speaker 3: three goals just on blatant turnovers going east west with
- 15:09Speaker 3: the puckin and they got burned for it. So you know,
- 15:13Speaker 3: they'll clean that up, the Hurricanes will clean it up,
- 15:15Speaker 3: and then we'll get down to the contrasting styles of
- 15:18Speaker 3: the way the two teams play and who's going to
- 15:20Speaker 3: be successful. And I think there's not only a ton
- 15:23Speaker 3: of talent with the Golden Knights, but there's goaltending that's
- 15:27Speaker 3: been very strong. Anderson's had a career playoff, there's no
- 15:31Speaker 3: question about it. But you know, right now, Carter Heart's
- 15:33Speaker 3: holding serve against him and the heaviness of the Golden
- 15:37Speaker 3: Knights is something Carolina hasn't faced in the playoffs at
- 15:40Speaker 3: all and doesn't face a lot in the Eastern Conference.
- 15:43Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong, they're a great team, but this
- 15:46Speaker 3: is a different animal, and that's why I think tonight's
- 15:48Speaker 3: game will be really, you know, something to see, and
- 15:52Speaker 3: it will also be a look at where we're going
- 15:54Speaker 3: with the entire series.
- 15:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't wait John FORORZLN joining us. We'll have
- 15:58Speaker 1: that game for you with John eds Ollbilly Jaffy on
- 16:00Speaker 1: the call five o'clock right here in nine three point
- 16:02Speaker 1: three k RFM tonight. So if you're out about driving
- 16:05Speaker 1: home and make sure you tune in and don't miss
- 16:08Speaker 1: a second because early goals have been the story is
- 16:10Speaker 1: certainly in game one and kind of in the playoffs
- 16:12Speaker 1: so far. You mentioned Carter Hart and Fredick Anderson before
- 16:14Speaker 1: we get to the krack and Carter Hart gives up
- 16:18Speaker 1: a couple of goals early saves, makes a save on
- 16:20Speaker 1: a breakaway John that was just sensational, could have been
- 16:23Speaker 1: three nothing. I thought that was kind of the turning
- 16:25Speaker 1: point in the game. Who do you think has the
- 16:27Speaker 1: advantageing goal? Is it Anderson or is it Carter Hart.
- 16:31Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's heart only because he's
- 16:34Speaker 3: faced a slew of teams that can play with speed
- 16:38Speaker 3: and have a ton of skill. They might not be
- 16:41Speaker 3: record wise as great as Carolina, but Utah Anaheimen certainly Colorado,
- 16:46Speaker 3: all being said, with cal mccarr being injured and that
- 16:49Speaker 3: was a huge loss, but it's still Colorado to play
- 16:52Speaker 3: as he did, and you look at all their wins
- 16:54Speaker 3: in the postseason, you know he's among the three stars
- 16:57Speaker 3: in virtually every one of those wins, including some big games,
- 17:00Speaker 3: he's first or second star. The breakaway save on Logan
- 17:03Speaker 3: Stankhove and I'm with you, that was incredible, and you
- 17:06Speaker 3: know that's the one you mark and you keep in
- 17:08Speaker 3: your memory bank as a series goes along. Anderson, you know,
- 17:12Speaker 3: is playing behind a wonderful system for him. He's been
- 17:16Speaker 3: able to get rid of the doubters because there was
- 17:18Speaker 3: a debate as to whether or not he should even
- 17:20Speaker 3: get the net in Game one of the first round.
- 17:23Speaker 3: But he hasn't looked back. He's gone through a personal tragedy,
- 17:26Speaker 3: the loss of his dear friend and agent, Claude Lemude.
- 17:29Speaker 3: That terrible tragedy last week, so he's dealing with that.
- 17:32Speaker 3: He's trying to put that in a compartment and play
- 17:34Speaker 3: in the Stanley Cup final, which good for him, you know,
- 17:36Speaker 3: and everybody's pulling for him. But I will say this,
- 17:38Speaker 3: I think Vegas will crowd him more than he's seen
- 17:41Speaker 3: in the playoffs, and I think Vegas will get to
- 17:43Speaker 3: second and third chances more than he's used to first save.
- 17:48Speaker 3: If Anderson's on his game, first save. He's so technically sound.
- 17:51Speaker 3: He's always been a great goalie that way. He's had
- 17:54Speaker 3: a share of injuries and some playoff failures, but it's
- 17:56Speaker 3: a seventeen year career. It's a very good career, and
- 18:00Speaker 3: you know, he has been sound to this point. And
- 18:02Speaker 3: I think there were a couple of cracks in the
- 18:04Speaker 3: seal the other night and again in the second game
- 18:06Speaker 3: of the series. That's we're at that that petering point.
- 18:10Speaker 1: John Forzen joining us crowded in front of the net.
- 18:13Speaker 1: That's code four. I can hear it in the background
- 18:15Speaker 1: right now. A guy likes NetFront presence, Johnny. We need
- 18:18Speaker 1: net front presence. That's what That's our favorite term, isn't it.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Andrews on this show.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Put yours on the table mentality.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Oh, there's your guy that I had him on last week, John.
- 18:27Speaker 1: I asked him about the Crack and it played this
- 18:29Speaker 1: is this was his answer. What they have to do
- 18:30Speaker 1: in the off season play it.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Put your plums on the table mentality.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Put your plums on the table. Only he could get
- 18:36Speaker 1: away with that. Well, I'll ask you, John, audit Uh
- 18:45Speaker 1: we uh we got there's an audit going on.
- 18:47Speaker 8: Uh.
- 18:47Speaker 1: There's a new investor in Melinda French Gates in the organization,
- 18:51Speaker 1: but outside of that, it's been rather quiet. Let's just
- 18:53Speaker 1: start with a general overview, John, in the last in
- 18:56Speaker 1: the first five years of this franchise, we've watched this
- 18:59Speaker 1: franchise grow, we watch them get to the playoffs in
- 19:01Speaker 1: the second year, but it has not been that successful
- 19:04Speaker 1: since on the ice. Off the ice, everything is I
- 19:07Speaker 1: mean top shelf. But on the ice they need to
- 19:09Speaker 1: get better. When people around the league you're going to
- 19:12Speaker 1: these games and you're doing playoffs and they say what
- 19:14Speaker 1: must the Crack can do? I'm gonna ask you that
- 19:15Speaker 1: exact same question, John, What must the Crack can do?
- 19:18Speaker 1: And how important is this offseason for them?
- 19:20Speaker 3: Well, I think I'm with everyone I'm around and have
- 19:24Speaker 3: been around for weeks here, they're very interested to see
- 19:27Speaker 3: what the next move is. You know, when you publicly
- 19:30Speaker 3: go out and state that you're going to have an
- 19:32Speaker 3: internal audit from an outside agency look at your hockey operations,
- 19:37Speaker 3: you know, what are the findings and what are they
- 19:39Speaker 3: going to do? Are they going to come public with it?
- 19:41Speaker 3: I don't know, but it gets people thinking and gets
- 19:45Speaker 3: people very curious as to what the identity of the
- 19:49Speaker 3: team is and what it will be. So every team
- 19:52Speaker 3: in the NHL ean goes through the battle of perception
- 19:56Speaker 3: and reality, right, and so when you don't make the playoff,
- 20:00Speaker 3: the fan perception is sour. And when you don't make
- 20:03Speaker 3: the playoffs and you're teased within the second year, I
- 20:06Speaker 3: think it's fair to say that the ownership level gets
- 20:09Speaker 3: sour because they've been teased by it and they want
- 20:11Speaker 3: to get back there. And the team we're watching here,
- 20:14Speaker 3: the other expansion team from twenty seventeen, Look what they've done,
- 20:17Speaker 3: and that's still something that haunts the crack and I
- 20:20Speaker 3: believe it's different circumstances, but it's five years into the program,
- 20:25Speaker 3: so the time is now to a articulate what the
- 20:28Speaker 3: plan is and B be as aggressive as you possibly can.
- 20:33Speaker 3: I mean, if you're going to use words like that,
- 20:35Speaker 3: you're going to have to get to it. So I
- 20:38Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, I'm flabbergasted by something I just saw,
- 20:41Speaker 3: you know, online this afternoon that apparently, according to Elliott Friedman,
- 20:45Speaker 3: who's as inside as anybody can be in the NHL,
- 20:47Speaker 3: he has reported that Dylan Larkin has requested a trade
- 20:51Speaker 3: from Detroit. Okay, so if that's the case, I would
- 20:56Speaker 3: think the kracking are going to be on that, and
- 20:59Speaker 3: they should be what it is, what the package would be.
- 21:02Speaker 3: Would Larkin come he has a full no trade clause
- 21:05Speaker 3: and all that, all those restrictions are in place. But
- 21:08Speaker 3: apparently until he comments, Eiserman comments, this is out there,
- 21:14Speaker 3: and Elliott's pretty bang on. He wouldn't publish it unless
- 21:18Speaker 3: he has really good information. So there's finally a number
- 21:21Speaker 3: one center that appears to be tangible that you're not
- 21:24Speaker 3: just trying to pry out of somebody. You know. There's
- 21:27Speaker 3: Matt Barzel, there's still in Larkin. There's a couple of those.
- 21:30Speaker 3: There's no question they need that, they need a prime center,
- 21:34Speaker 3: they need more scoring. Everybody knows that but again they're
- 21:38Speaker 3: going to have to be careful with how they do
- 21:39Speaker 3: it because I do believe there's probably more to the
- 21:43Speaker 3: puzzle than we see. Because I do believe after the
- 21:48Speaker 3: five years, they've done a pretty good job with the prospects,
- 21:50Speaker 3: and they've done a pretty good job, you know, stock
- 21:53Speaker 3: buying some players that are pretty close, but that one instance,
- 21:57Speaker 3: that one player, if they can make a big move,
- 21:59Speaker 3: if they can go blockbuster and something like that, then
- 22:02Speaker 3: maybe that makes sense. As far as Bobby McMahon, I'm
- 22:05Speaker 3: surprised if there is keen interest. He's not signed yet.
- 22:08Speaker 3: I got to think that they're probably in some real
- 22:11Speaker 3: good conversations with he and his agent. But you know,
- 22:14Speaker 3: we're in a June now, and I got to think,
- 22:16Speaker 3: you know, with July right around the corner, McMahon, unless
- 22:19Speaker 3: something's going to happen very soon, is probably maybe he's
- 22:22Speaker 3: going to hit the market. I don't know. That'll be
- 22:25Speaker 3: interesting to see. But the Krack and really with him
- 22:28Speaker 3: are in a in a catch twenty two in my opinion,
- 22:31Speaker 3: because you want to be fair with what you give him,
- 22:33Speaker 3: but you don't want to really completely overpay, and so
- 22:37Speaker 3: be careful with that. But the other situation. Like Eddie said,
- 22:40Speaker 3: if you can get do that, if you can be
- 22:43Speaker 3: brash and take a step, that's going to make a difference,
- 22:46Speaker 3: you know, because the Kraken have to get back to
- 22:48Speaker 3: some type of identity that's been lacking here for a
- 22:51Speaker 3: long time. I think the coach is great. I think
- 22:53Speaker 3: the coach will will will get it. I think he
- 22:56Speaker 3: needs better players, and then I think their pro scouting
- 22:59Speaker 3: is going to be put to test. There's not much
- 23:01Speaker 3: in the free agent market this summer, so you know
- 23:03Speaker 3: there there doesn't have to be blockbusters too. There can
- 23:06Speaker 3: be minor trades that can make a big difference. So
- 23:08Speaker 3: they got to be better that way too, and and
- 23:10Speaker 3: fill in some pieces and move on from some guys
- 23:13Speaker 3: that have been probably with the crack in too long.
- 23:16Speaker 3: You know, there's there's a time. There's time to turn
- 23:19Speaker 3: this thing over and and and and bring a different
- 23:22Speaker 3: group in next season. I think that's what I'd be
- 23:24Speaker 3: looking for.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Yeah, John forzne with us, I'm with it's pro sports,
- 23:27Speaker 1: like you can't let your emotions tie you to a player.
- 23:31Speaker 1: The jerseys you see people wearing in the stands, that's
- 23:33Speaker 1: not what it's about. It's about winning games, and you know,
- 23:36Speaker 1: I think the fan base here deserves to see the
- 23:38Speaker 1: very best product. I you mentioned the no trade clause,
- 23:41Speaker 1: and I saw that that that Dylan Larkin story that
- 23:43Speaker 1: just did break. He was a thirty plus gool guy
- 23:45Speaker 1: last year number one center. There's no doubt about that.
- 23:48Speaker 1: If with the no trades and with you know, where
- 23:52Speaker 1: Seattle's perceived, where is the what is the perception around
- 23:56Speaker 1: the league of Seattle, Because it feels like players and
- 23:59Speaker 1: this happened a lot of sports, John, you know this.
- 24:02Speaker 1: You know the NBA, nobody even necessarily wants to go
- 24:05Speaker 1: to Utah or Portland or Charlotte, but they all want
- 24:09Speaker 1: to go to Miami or La et cetera. In our league,
- 24:14Speaker 1: it feels like Vegas is the destination now, or if
- 24:17Speaker 1: your wife's in the fashion industry, La Kings, whatever it
- 24:20Speaker 1: might be. Seattle's kind of this little, this little place
- 24:23Speaker 1: up in the northwest, maybe closer to Alaska than people think.
- 24:26Speaker 1: I don't know, there's a weird perception yet. I look
- 24:28Speaker 1: at the facilities. I look at ownership with Samantha Holloway
- 24:32Speaker 1: and Tyler Wicki and now Milinda French Gates. I look
- 24:35Speaker 1: at the building, itself and how they treat players. I
- 24:38Speaker 1: would think this would be a place people want to
- 24:39Speaker 1: come to. I asked Brandon on tour about that. He said, yeah,
- 24:42Speaker 1: they're trying to do as much recruiting and getting that
- 24:44Speaker 1: word out to other players around the league. But what
- 24:46Speaker 1: do you hear about Seattle because I know, I think
- 24:48Speaker 1: we both know Seattle's on a lot of no trade lists.
- 24:52Speaker 3: Yeah, I think because of where the team's at. You know,
- 24:55Speaker 3: when you have you know, two general managers, three coaches
- 24:59Speaker 3: and five years, it's too much, you know, And I
- 25:03Speaker 3: understand all the reasons, and we're not going to rehash
- 25:05Speaker 3: all of that, right, I understand. I understand why these
- 25:09Speaker 3: moves were made with great intention, but you know, you
- 25:13Speaker 3: can't have that. So anytime you have that, I would
- 25:17Speaker 3: believe that. You know, the word gets around and players
- 25:20Speaker 3: are very keen on it, agents are keen on it,
- 25:22Speaker 3: so they keep an eye on all these things, and
- 25:24Speaker 3: all of a sudden that happens. I'm just going to
- 25:26Speaker 3: tell you that in twenty minutes, I'm going to get
- 25:28Speaker 3: in the car and I'm going to drive to my
- 25:30Speaker 3: old barn here in Raleigh. Right, And you know, as
- 25:33Speaker 3: you know, I was in the Raleigh market. Still have
- 25:35Speaker 3: a home here, but for almost twenty five years, and
- 25:39Speaker 3: in that time, this was a barren wasteland for players.
- 25:44Speaker 3: This was on everybody's no chance am I going there?
- 25:49Speaker 3: Because the team was failing. They went ten years without
- 25:53Speaker 3: making the playoffs, and they had to start drafting and
- 25:57Speaker 3: being smarter with the development of young players to build
- 26:00Speaker 3: it up to where it is, so that when this
- 26:01Speaker 3: new ownership came in and some changes managerial wise, bingo,
- 26:07Speaker 3: the trend was there. They were cycling back to relevancy,
- 26:10Speaker 3: and they took advantage of it. And now all of
- 26:11Speaker 3: a sudden, you know, they're are like a three year
- 26:14Speaker 3: cycle here of consecutive sellouts. It's the loudest house in
- 26:18Speaker 3: the NHL. And now when you couple the area of
- 26:21Speaker 3: the Triangle, the Raleigh Durham area in North Carolina, with
- 26:25Speaker 3: the weather and the conditions and the lifestyle, and there's
- 26:28Speaker 3: not a lot of media pressure, all of a sudden,
- 26:30Speaker 3: you know, Carolina is this great place to play. Wasn't
- 26:33Speaker 3: always the case. Seattle's a great place to play, a
- 26:36Speaker 3: great place to play. I've been around long enough, I've
- 26:39Speaker 3: been in a lot of markets. I know how great
- 26:41Speaker 3: a sports down it is. I know how communal the
- 26:44Speaker 3: people are. I know how supportive the people are. Look
- 26:47Speaker 3: at the support the crack and get for what they've
- 26:49Speaker 3: given so far. When that starts to become a regular thing,
- 26:53Speaker 3: when we're talking every year about how deep they're going
- 26:55Speaker 3: into the playoffs and we're disappointed if they get ousted
- 26:58Speaker 3: in a conference finals, someday we're going to see what
- 27:01Speaker 3: that support means, because it already exists with other teams
- 27:04Speaker 3: in Seattle. So the players will completely buy into it.
- 27:09Speaker 3: They just have to be in an environment where they think,
- 27:11Speaker 3: if they're mid range in their career or later in
- 27:14Speaker 3: their career, that they have a legitimate chance to get
- 27:16Speaker 3: in and win. So that's why if there's an opportunity
- 27:20Speaker 3: to make a huge deal right now and get the
- 27:23Speaker 3: team positioned that way and get a little juice around
- 27:26Speaker 3: the league, all of a sudden, it's a no brainer. Right,
- 27:29Speaker 3: talk to every player, you do, I do. Everybody loves
- 27:32Speaker 3: it there, okay, And that's when we have what we
- 27:35Speaker 3: have in the winter time where there's a lot of
- 27:37Speaker 3: gray and there's some rain. Who cares, it's still beautiful,
- 27:40Speaker 3: all right, And so I think everything is there. It
- 27:45Speaker 3: just has to. There has to be an awakening as
- 27:48Speaker 3: to why you want to go there. That's all it is.
- 27:50Speaker 3: It's very simple. They will, you know. So that's what
- 27:53Speaker 3: we're seeing, you know, around the league. I'm not a
- 27:56Speaker 3: big believer in these tax situations. I don't want to
- 28:00Speaker 3: get involved in any of those things. I think the
- 28:03Speaker 3: prime concern for any athlete is to go win. And
- 28:06Speaker 3: the guys who came in the last few years as Chandler,
- 28:09Speaker 3: Stevenson's and the Brandon Montors, they came to win. They
- 28:13Speaker 3: didn't come to get some retirement project and you know,
- 28:16Speaker 3: put their feet upty. Monty's burning to get back into
- 28:20Speaker 3: this situation. You know, in the first round, he texted
- 28:24Speaker 3: Eddie and I during one of the games. He's watching
- 28:26Speaker 3: the game. It was all about how exciting the playoffs are,
- 28:28Speaker 3: and that's what he said. Good luck, guys, you sound
- 28:30Speaker 3: great and I can't wait to get back there, you know.
- 28:33Speaker 3: So listen, if they can fix that, then it's all set.
- 28:37Speaker 3: It's a turnkey situation. There's absolutely nothing wrong except the
- 28:42Speaker 3: wins and losses over five years that haven't been jiving
- 28:45Speaker 3: with everybody. That's all it is.
- 28:47Speaker 1: Everything else has been first class. I'll wrapping up with this,
- 28:49Speaker 1: John Forzlan you mentioned this a minute ago, and as
- 28:53Speaker 1: it starts with Jason Bottroll and it goes through the
- 28:55Speaker 1: pro personnel player personnel on that side. Now the amateur
- 28:58Speaker 1: scouts that's side. This to me, this is this is
- 29:02Speaker 1: a make it or break a time for them. And you,
- 29:04Speaker 1: you know, you can turn a franchise around, You can
- 29:07Speaker 1: make significant moves. You just have to be aggressive. Now
- 29:10Speaker 1: it takes two to tangle all. We understand that. But
- 29:12Speaker 1: this isn't about, Hey, we hope we have a good
- 29:15Speaker 1: draft again and we develop guys that are two or
- 29:17Speaker 1: three or four years down the road. This is about now,
- 29:20Speaker 1: how how important John, How important are the next four
- 29:23Speaker 1: or five weeks as we get through the first week
- 29:25Speaker 1: in July for this organization moving forward?
- 29:28Speaker 3: I don't I mean, this is a turning point.
- 29:31Speaker 9: And they do think there's there's there are things in
- 29:34Speaker 9: the cover because there are players, their assets in the cover.
- 29:37Speaker 9: So you know that's not what it was year two,
- 29:40Speaker 9: year given, year three, and had these players in the system,
- 29:45Speaker 9: yet you haven't developed them. They haven't been stouted by
- 29:47Speaker 9: other organizations.
- 29:48Speaker 3: You know. So I'm not going to give you the
- 29:50Speaker 3: exact solutions, because I don't know. It's not my job,
- 29:53Speaker 3: but I will tell you that I think they're positioned
- 29:55Speaker 3: well to get creative and do it. And they've already
- 29:59Speaker 3: said that they're and to be aggressive, and and and
- 30:02Speaker 3: and it was already said the past off season, you know,
- 30:05Speaker 3: and a couple of moves were made, and a couple
- 30:08Speaker 3: of those were good, and you know, the Marchmen situation
- 30:11Speaker 3: and all of that. It's kind of a mixed review
- 30:13Speaker 3: on everything that happened last off season. This is a
- 30:16Speaker 3: different story. This is where you've done just about everything
- 30:20Speaker 3: you can do. You've cleared the deck, You've you've you've
- 30:22Speaker 3: got a new type of organization, a new direction, You've
- 30:27Speaker 3: had an internal auditive of your doings. You know how
- 30:30Speaker 3: you're gonna make it better, you know. So yeah, I'm
- 30:32Speaker 3: with you. I can't wait. You know, speaking with somebody
- 30:35Speaker 3: over at the rink this morning, this is nice. We're
- 30:37Speaker 3: going through the final. There's nothing like it. But at
- 30:40Speaker 3: the at the back end of the final is the
- 30:42Speaker 3: resumption of business for all the teams. I just can't wait.
- 30:46Speaker 3: You know. This Larkin thing is the first thing, right,
- 30:48Speaker 3: It's exciting, it's exciting for the fans, so you got
- 30:51Speaker 3: to dig in and watch see what happens through the draft.
- 30:55Speaker 3: But most importantly, I think this is one of these
- 30:58Speaker 3: years where the draft can be a mechanism to something else.
- 31:02Speaker 3: Let's see if it happens.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Johnny, great to have your voice on this show. It'll
- 31:06Speaker 1: be great to hear your voice on KJR along with
- 31:08Speaker 1: Edge and Billy Jaffy later on tonight at five o'clock
- 31:11Speaker 1: and throughout the finals. I'm assuming it'll be at least
- 31:14Speaker 1: a six or seven game stint that we're gonna hear
- 31:15Speaker 1: you here on KJR. So have a great call tonight,

- 32:06Speaker 1: I was driving in today to the the old vMac
- 32:09Speaker 1: here yep, and I was thinking, man, I don't know why,
- 32:13Speaker 1: just the end of the week whether it kind of
- 32:16Speaker 1: turned a little sour, right, yeah, trying to find some energy.
- 32:19Speaker 1: And I said to myself, you know what, it's the
- 32:23Speaker 1: unofficial start of the weekend.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Yeah it is.
- 32:25Speaker 1: It's a Thursday.
- 32:28Speaker 2: It's thurs what's that I mean, we have to get
- 32:31Speaker 2: Brandon on.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Well, I don't normally Brandon spent ten minutes trashing me
- 32:38Speaker 1: last time he was. He's on.
- 32:40Speaker 2: He's on probation right now.
- 32:42Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I'm just sitting there mocking the host
- 32:45Speaker 1: of said programs. So no, I was like, Okay, this
- 32:47Speaker 1: is unofficial start of the weekend. Man, it's a Thursday.
- 32:50Speaker 1: Let's go h good stuff from John Forston. We'll revisit
- 32:52Speaker 1: a little bit of what he had to say at
- 32:53Speaker 1: one forty five. Today, A special little announcement coming up
- 32:57Speaker 1: at one o'clock. I could say that, right, kind of
- 32:59Speaker 1: special announcement here coming up at one o'clock, So stay
- 33:02Speaker 1: tuned for that as well. We asked a question earlier.
- 33:07Speaker 1: We had some really good stuff coming in. I softly
- 33:10Speaker 1: asked me when I was out here last last week,
- 33:12Speaker 1: last Tuesday, hey, did they add the second Lombardi Trophy
- 33:15Speaker 1: to the lobby? And I know that ninety nine percent
- 33:19Speaker 1: of you've never been out here to the Virginia Mas
- 33:21Speaker 1: Netflix And when you walk into the main off main
- 33:24Speaker 1: lobby of the building, there's a big trophy case and
- 33:28Speaker 1: it's got a bunch of stuff in there, and they have,
- 33:30Speaker 1: of course the first Lombardi Trophy. And he asked me,
- 33:32Speaker 1: and I said, Dave, I hadn't even looked, okay, like
- 33:35Speaker 1: it's not it's that's a you thing, that's not a
- 33:39Speaker 1: me thing. Necessarily I'll disco so but I did go check,
- 33:42Speaker 1: took a picture second Lombardi trophies, and then we started
- 33:45Speaker 1: talking about the trophies because we had John on talking
- 33:47Speaker 1: to Stanley Cup. I mean, the Stanley Cup I feel
- 33:49Speaker 1: like is a trophy that people literally will just they'll
- 33:52Speaker 1: they'll die for. Like it's just and I say that
- 33:54Speaker 1: that is very much that I'm not being literal, but
- 33:58Speaker 1: what you hear about how God at the end of
- 34:01Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup playoffs, the surgeries are going through the
- 34:04Speaker 1: things they're you know, that were going on with their
- 34:06Speaker 1: body and things like it is just such a demanding,
- 34:10Speaker 1: such a demanding trophy to win, right and you know,
- 34:15Speaker 1: to get through those four seven game series and sixteen
- 34:20Speaker 1: games and all that. I mean it is and fizz
- 34:22Speaker 1: every other night, it means. So the c and the
- 34:26Speaker 1: Cup itself is cool looking. It's in that kind So
- 34:28Speaker 1: we said, hey, Lombardi, I think Lombardi Trophies number two.
- 34:31Speaker 1: But we're getting a ton of text four nine, four
- 34:33Speaker 1: five one in for other things, which we'll get to
- 34:36Speaker 1: in the two o'clock hour before we check in with
- 34:38Speaker 1: uh with Jylen Sundel. I mean, it is sensational, like
- 34:42Speaker 1: some of the stuff coming in right now. There's other
- 34:44Speaker 1: things out there I kind of even forgot about.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Like non traditional major thing.
- 34:49Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean with the green jacket for
- 34:52Speaker 1: the Masters, like if it like you know, it's just
- 34:55Speaker 1: one of those things that every guy the tour would
- 34:57Speaker 1: just you know again, you know, die for it, give
- 34:59Speaker 1: me a green jacket, right, But yeah, we'll get into
- 35:01Speaker 1: some of that. Four nine, four to five one. Some
- 35:02Speaker 1: really good things coming in. I think Lombardi trophies number
- 35:06Speaker 1: two for me if you just look at the four
- 35:08Speaker 1: main sports, like, okay, I don't want to say this,
- 35:10Speaker 1: people get mad if you look at the four major
- 35:12Speaker 1: sports in our country, right right, NBA, Major League Baseball, NFL, NHL.
- 35:18Speaker 1: I think the Stanley Cup is the coolest of the
- 35:19Speaker 1: four trophies. I think Lombardi's two. I would probably go
- 35:23Speaker 1: Larry O'Brien.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Three really over the World Series.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's a push. You know what. The World
- 35:29Speaker 1: Series one looks like it kind of looks like something
- 35:34Speaker 1: you would give to the North Puga Sound League High
- 35:37Speaker 1: school baseball champions, Like it was just it just I
- 35:41Speaker 1: don't know, it just looks like it's it's but I listen,
- 35:44Speaker 1: that's just me interesting. People might yeah to each of
- 35:47Speaker 1: the people may think completely different of that as well.
- 35:49Speaker 1: So four nine, four or five one. We'll get to
- 35:51Speaker 1: that as well, we said. I tweeted out the picture
- 35:53Speaker 1: of the two trophies the two. Lombarti's in there, so
- 35:55Speaker 1: you can check that out. So we'll get that going.
- 35:57Speaker 1: Crap Uh, Mariners are off today. We were on the
- 36:01Speaker 1: area yesterday when they were playing, so we'll get into
- 36:03Speaker 1: a little bit more that with you know, Sarah's coming
- 36:04Speaker 1: up at one twenty and some other things with the
- 36:06Speaker 1: Eno road Listen, eight straight wins, three straight series wins.
- 36:12Speaker 1: This team's humming along right now, Andrews like like we
- 36:14Speaker 1: were thinking it would be. And not only that, Cal
- 36:18Speaker 1: starts in Everett this weekend and then goes to Transitions
- 36:21Speaker 1: to Triple A to Coma, so after the was a
- 36:24Speaker 1: ten game road trip, right up ten game road trip,
- 36:26Speaker 1: maybe we'll see him back in the lineup. And so far,
- 36:30Speaker 1: so good. The fact that they are where they are,
- 36:33Speaker 1: above five hundred, and I know the division is awful,
- 36:37Speaker 1: but above five hundred without him, And really you could
- 36:39Speaker 1: probably say, if for being honest, they're above five hundred
- 36:43Speaker 1: in first place without Cal all season because the Cal
- 36:46Speaker 1: Rawley we know hasn't played this year well.
- 36:48Speaker 2: And when he has played, it's been bad.
- 36:51Speaker 1: That's what I mean. That's what I mean. We haven't
- 36:53Speaker 1: seen Cal Rawley. We haven't even seen twenty twenty four
- 36:55Speaker 1: Cal Raleigh, much less twenty twenty five Cal Rawle exactly.
- 36:58Speaker 1: So get him back kelthy and let's see. Let's see
- 37:01Speaker 1: what this thing's all about them. The only number I
- 37:04Speaker 1: care about standings wise right now is three. They're three
- 37:06Speaker 1: behind Cleveland, that number two seed. Like that's what you want.
- 37:09Speaker 2: You are eyeing that two seed, aren't you.
- 37:11Speaker 1: Well you're not gonna get the one. I know. There's
- 37:13Speaker 1: a ton of baseball left the East. The two teams
- 37:15Speaker 1: in the East. Could you imagine this, the two teams
- 37:18Speaker 1: in the Al East that the Yankees in the race.
- 37:21Speaker 1: That's like playing in the NFC West, Like you're gonna
- 37:24Speaker 1: have a really good team that doesn't have home field advantage.
- 37:27Speaker 4: Yeah, but Aaron Judge has a mysterious injury. Supposedly, I
- 37:30Speaker 4: might be going.
- 37:31Speaker 1: Yes, we saw the mysterious injury for Aaron Judge. It's
- 37:36Speaker 1: taken New York by storm right now. It actually I
- 37:39Speaker 1: saw the stuff that got Everything is magnified with them,
- 37:42Speaker 1: isn't it true? It's so magnified. It's like, what's really
- 37:45Speaker 1: wrong with Aaron Judge? What's happening with Aaron Judge?
- 37:48Speaker 4: So like I could see a reality where you know,
- 37:51Speaker 4: Tampa comes back down to earth and they've already started
- 37:53Speaker 4: to a little bit.
- 37:54Speaker 2: And then Yankees don't have Aaron Judge for a month
- 37:57Speaker 2: or two.
- 37:58Speaker 1: And much time did he missed last year?
- 37:59Speaker 2: It is close to a month. It was close a month. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 38:03Speaker 1: And sales schedules very conducive to going on a heater
- 38:07Speaker 1: for a while. Exactly right, right, that's that's the one
- 38:09Speaker 1: good thing that.
- 38:10Speaker 4: They've been, you know, just treading water with. Like you
- 38:12Speaker 4: said that a lot of guys that you would be
- 38:15Speaker 4: relying on on the IL.
- 38:17Speaker 1: I want to acknowledge one real quick on the text
- 38:20Speaker 1: line four nine, four to five one to come a
- 38:21Speaker 1: dodge text line. Gold Cup. I grew up in the
- 38:26Speaker 1: Rainier Beach area Rayner Valley. Uh what did I just
- 38:30Speaker 1: lose this? I'm sorry, my fault and you're just an idiot.
- 38:33Speaker 1: Gold Cup. I grew up in Rainier Valley in the sixties.
- 38:35Speaker 3: Get it.
- 38:35Speaker 1: I know what the Gold Cup is. That's a hydroplane.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Oh okay, I was yeah, I was confused. There's a
- 38:40Speaker 2: cup in soccer two.
- 38:42Speaker 1: So the Gold Cup in I got a racing used
- 38:44Speaker 1: to be such a huge thing here. Oh my god,
- 38:47Speaker 1: it was massive for sixties, seventies, into the eighties and
- 38:51Speaker 1: a little bit into the early nineties. Hydroplane racing was
- 38:55Speaker 1: massive on like here, Detroit, Madison, San die I mean,
- 39:01Speaker 1: it was just massive for us. And this is the
- 39:04Speaker 1: Unfortunately the adults ruined the sport right massively. They just did.
- 39:08Speaker 1: That's but the Gold Cup was a big deal, like it,
- 39:11Speaker 1: and the Gold Cup is almost always run in Detroit,
- 39:13Speaker 1: which kind of pissed people out here off because we're
- 39:15Speaker 1: kind of the hydroplane capital, we thought, but so did Detroit.
- 39:17Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll go, I'll dance with you on the
- 39:19Speaker 1: Gold Cup. That's really good, all right, four nine, four
- 39:21Speaker 1: to five one. We'll get to that as well. Coming

- 42:21Speaker 2: You like the one? Yeah, I'm a fan.
- 42:22Speaker 4: There are some people who don't think it's that great
- 42:25Speaker 4: because it's not very big. It's a little underwhelming. I
- 42:28Speaker 4: actually like the fact that it's not very big. You
- 42:30Speaker 4: can hold it in one hand. I like the gold
- 42:33Speaker 4: aspect of it too. Not many trophies are gold, they're
- 42:36Speaker 4: mostly silver. And just the design of it, it's it's,

- 43:58Speaker 7: three three, starting next Thursday with South Africa against Mexico.

- 44:13Speaker 1: All right, so you two are gonna be like just
- 44:16Speaker 1: World Cup immersed, right, Yeah.
- 44:18Speaker 7: Yep, it's gonna be It's gonna be INTENSEI and I'll
- 44:21Speaker 7: tell you what, Like I told Anders, I have right
- 44:24Speaker 7: now and this is not you know me, I prep
- 44:26Speaker 7: for everything. I have forty five pages in word document
- 44:31Speaker 7: text for prep for prep for all of the teams
- 44:34Speaker 7: that I'll be doing pre half post for this entire tournament.
- 44:38Speaker 2: It is extensive.
- 44:39Speaker 1: You guys set up. There's a studio set up, yes,
- 44:42Speaker 1: that we usually use for taping interviews and things like that.
- 44:45Speaker 2: And you've been kicked out.
- 44:47Speaker 1: We have been, We've all which is fine because it's
- 44:50Speaker 1: it's set up so so like if someone's tuning into
- 44:53Speaker 1: KJR like during the World Cup, what can they expect
- 44:57Speaker 1: to hear and when will they hear it? Well, I
- 45:00Speaker 1: think you can expect.
- 45:01Speaker 7: What you're going to have is every single game, whether
- 45:04Speaker 7: it's here or on nine to fifty, we're going to
- 45:06Speaker 7: have thirty minutes before the game kicks off, full in
- 45:09Speaker 7: depth coverage of who these teams are, why this game matters,
- 45:14Speaker 7: what's the context related to the tournament as a whole,
- 45:17Speaker 7: where the United States stand in every given moment, and
- 45:21Speaker 7: then as the tournament progresses kind of just top storylines,
- 45:24Speaker 7: top players. I mean, this right now is is what
- 45:27Speaker 7: everybody's expecting. The biggest World Cup of all time, in
- 45:30Speaker 7: terms of number of teams, in terms of I think
- 45:32Speaker 7: international global viewership, because it's the United States, because you
- 45:37Speaker 7: have more teams playing, this is going to be intense.
- 45:40Speaker 7: And I'm expecting for the United States team here, just selfishly,
- 45:44Speaker 7: locally andres on by you, I'm expecting big, big things
- 45:48Speaker 7: from this squad.
- 45:49Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you know, I've been pretty bullish on
- 45:52Speaker 4: them for a while now for the US, just because
- 45:54Speaker 4: you know, I like the coaching change they made a
- 45:56Speaker 4: couple of years ago. But you know, seeing what they
- 45:59Speaker 4: did against Senegal in that first World Cup tune up game,
- 46:02Speaker 4: it kind of get. It's had me dreaming Ian. So
- 46:05Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to, you know, what's going to happen
- 46:08Speaker 4: over the summer. I know there are some talks about
- 46:11Speaker 4: the hype maybe not necessarily being to the level that
- 46:14Speaker 4: a lot of people might have expected to this point.
- 46:16Speaker 4: I promise you once the games start, everyone will be
- 46:19Speaker 4: fully immersed. And you know I mentioned this on the
- 46:23Speaker 4: Morning Show earlier today. Even if you maybe aren't the
- 46:26Speaker 4: biggest soccer fan, just check it out. Whether it's a
- 46:29Speaker 4: US game, whether it's something else, there's there's something for everyone.
- 46:32Speaker 4: There's this I kind of compare it a little bit
- 46:34Speaker 4: to the NCAA Tournament for the casual sports fan because
- 46:39Speaker 4: a it kind of goes on all day, so you
- 46:42Speaker 4: can kind of have something going on, you know, in
- 46:44Speaker 4: the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, especially now
- 46:47Speaker 4: that the time zones and line up obviously with what's
- 46:50Speaker 4: going on here in America. And then the aspect that yes,
- 46:53Speaker 4: there's the favorites, there's the superstars, but then there's also
- 46:56Speaker 4: the there's always a team that comes out of nowhere
- 46:58Speaker 4: and there's a player that comes out of nowhere that
- 46:59Speaker 4: takes a team to the semi finals or something like that,
- 47:02Speaker 4: like a Cinderella story. So if you're an NCAA tournament
- 47:06Speaker 4: basketball fan, uh, it's there's a lot of similar aspects
- 47:10Speaker 4: to watching the FIFA World Cup as there is to that.
- 47:14Speaker 1: The So there's juice involved, is what you're telling.
- 47:17Speaker 2: Yeah, there's juice involved.
- 47:19Speaker 1: I you know, Andrews, you guys are talking Anderson and
- 47:23Speaker 1: Jackson about the once the things get going. I think
- 47:26Speaker 1: back to twenty fourteen in the World Cup and the
- 47:30Speaker 1: US was in with what Ghana, Portugal, Germany. Yes, but
- 47:33Speaker 1: they got to the knockout. They lost to one to
- 47:36Speaker 1: Belgium an extra time. And when you said that, the
- 47:39Speaker 1: first thing I thought of is I remember during that
- 47:42Speaker 1: World Cup in twenty fourteen, Sport Restaurant was still open.
- 47:45Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and we went over and we were doing
- 47:49Speaker 1: a we did a show at Sport Restaurant.
- 47:51Speaker 7: Are you to talk about how drunk I was there
- 47:53Speaker 7: at Sport that day?
- 47:54Speaker 1: No?
- 47:55Speaker 2: No, Jackson did tell the story.
- 47:57Speaker 1: Literally right before Ghana game. Oh boy, the but we
- 48:01Speaker 1: were over there for the Belgium. We were actually I
- 48:03Speaker 1: think we were there for and I don't know. It's
- 48:05Speaker 1: weird because where was that World Cup held in twenty
- 48:07Speaker 1: fourteen Brazil? For some reason, like maybe the time zones
- 48:12Speaker 1: worked out where we my show was on, we were
- 48:15Speaker 1: carrying the game, I think, but we were on the air.
- 48:17Speaker 1: We did like a little viewing party, did something.
- 48:19Speaker 2: Out three or four hours ahead.
- 48:20Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 48:21Speaker 1: Yeah, So like we it worked out, and so in
- 48:23Speaker 1: Sport Restaurant made it. Rest in Peace was packed and
- 48:27Speaker 1: people were going nuts in there for that and it
- 48:30Speaker 1: was a great game. They lose to Belgium. I do
- 48:31Speaker 1: remember that we we got in a little trouble because
- 48:34Speaker 1: if people don't know Belgium are Anheuser Busch Budweiser is
- 48:38Speaker 1: it was I don't know if they still our sponsor
- 48:40Speaker 1: for sure, they're a Belgium owned company. So we had
- 48:45Speaker 1: a little we had a little bit of fun with that,
- 48:47Speaker 1: like doing like a hey, you know, we're gonna we're
- 48:51Speaker 1: going to have like a boycott of all Budweiser products
- 48:53Speaker 1: in the game and all that, and so did not well, well, yeah,
- 48:57Speaker 1: you know, the thing is Anheiser bush You've got your
- 48:59Speaker 1: other use these days. So unless you're making bushye bush
- 49:02Speaker 1: light apple, you got your own problems. But yeah, it
- 49:04Speaker 1: was like I was like, hey man, we're gonna we're
- 49:07Speaker 1: gonna go all in on this. So you know what,
- 49:08Speaker 1: screw you Budweiser or Belgium. This is not about Belgium.
- 49:11Speaker 1: This is about us. But Belgium is one of the
- 49:13Speaker 1: teams that you guys like, right, yeah, we're gonna see
- 49:15Speaker 1: them here.
- 49:16Speaker 4: Correct, they're actually stationed in Seattle, so they will be
- 49:19Speaker 4: like practicing here whenever they don't have games and stuff
- 49:21Speaker 4: like that.

- 52:17Speaker 3: Are you going?
- 52:19Speaker 5: Great?
- 52:21Speaker 1: Appreciate you popping on. We got I'm gonna get to
- 52:22Speaker 1: the store. You guys, I have in the athletic just
- 52:25Speaker 1: got posted today about teams being injury prone healthier than
- 52:30Speaker 1: other teams. We'll get to that in a second, but
- 52:33Speaker 1: let me start first with our baseball team up here.
- 52:36Speaker 1: They're off to Detroit. Let me just start quickly with Detroit.
- 52:38Speaker 1: I think you guys talked about it on a recent podcast.
- 52:41Speaker 1: I look at Detroit to look at the standings, I think, okay, well,
- 52:43Speaker 1: Seattle should go and continue to cruise along. What has
- 52:46Speaker 1: gone on with Detroit? What's what's the story with the
- 52:49Speaker 1: Tigers who are what's seven games under five hundred right
- 52:51Speaker 1: now in six game, ten and a half games behind Cleveland.
- 52:57Speaker 5: They've been unlucky in most of the ways you can
- 52:59Speaker 5: be unlucky. They are. There are only two teams that
- 53:04Speaker 5: have a bigger disparity between what their exsit velocities and
- 53:10Speaker 5: launch angles should have should have created their expected production
- 53:13Speaker 5: and their actual production. So they've been unlucky that way.
- 53:16Speaker 5: Some of that might be park factors, that could be weather,
- 53:20Speaker 5: although I think weather is factored in, but you know,
- 53:23Speaker 5: you know, they could have earned some portion of that.
- 53:25Speaker 5: But that says at least on some level, their hitting
- 53:28Speaker 5: has been unlucky. They are the fourth most injured team
- 53:32Speaker 5: this year and they just got Carry Carpenter and Glavor
- 53:36Speaker 5: Torres back off the injury list. Obviously there's a high
- 53:39Speaker 5: profile ter Schoogle miss missed of a bunch of time.
- 53:43Speaker 5: But you know, other Casey mis has been on and
- 53:45Speaker 5: off the il, So it's a little bit of that.
- 53:49Speaker 5: And then I think some of it is roster construction.
- 53:52Speaker 5: I don't think that anybody looking into the season thought, oh, yeah,
- 53:56Speaker 5: this is a top five, top ten bullpen, you know,
- 54:02Speaker 5: so that was a miss that was sort of a misfire,
- 54:05Speaker 5: I think from the beginning, and you know, justin Berlander,
- 54:13Speaker 5: you know how much they kind of needed him to pitch,
- 54:17Speaker 5: and he's thrown three innings so far. Like in terms
- 54:19Speaker 5: of their pitching depth, they don't have a great amount
- 54:22Speaker 5: of depth. So there might have been some mistakes going
- 54:25Speaker 5: into the season in terms of roster build, but there's
- 54:28Speaker 5: also been a fair amount of bad luck.
- 54:30Speaker 1: You know, Sarah's joining us. You wrote the story at
- 54:33Speaker 1: the Athletics. Some MLB organizations are more injury prone than others.
- 54:36Speaker 1: Just talking about Detroit. Is that bad luck or a
- 54:39Speaker 1: system issue? Brittany? Can you pronounce your last name for me?
- 54:41Speaker 1: I don't want to butcher it. Who wrote the story
- 54:43Speaker 1: with you? Geroli? Great story? The first of all Mariner fans,
- 54:49Speaker 1: I don't see. I went and read the story today.
- 54:51Speaker 1: Your team, the Mariners, for the most part, not a
- 54:53Speaker 1: problem with health, which is odd because one of the
- 54:56Speaker 1: things you wrote in there, and I think this is
- 54:58Speaker 1: an interesting those of us in the me fans the
- 55:01Speaker 1: second something's happening and you're like, you know, let's no blie.
- 55:04Speaker 1: Cal Rawley's a good example for us, like why didn't
- 55:06Speaker 1: they shut them down earlier? What's going on with the
- 55:08Speaker 1: medical staff? Gets blamed for stuff sometimes it's certainly out
- 55:11Speaker 1: of their control. What did you guys find? Though? The
- 55:14Speaker 1: overriding theme it feels like there's something tied to salaries
- 55:19Speaker 1: and what you pay players, and some of the more
- 55:21Speaker 1: wealthy teams seem to have more issues with injuries.
- 55:25Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean when we first released a lot of
- 55:28Speaker 5: people saying, no way, the Dodgers are on the top.
- 55:30Speaker 3: But what we did was we looked at.
- 55:32Speaker 5: Organizational wide days myss to the injury list. So you know,
- 55:37Speaker 5: the Dodgers are number one in major league days myths,
- 55:41Speaker 5: but they're one of the ten healthiest teams in the
- 55:43Speaker 5: minor leagues. And so you know, they're doing something different
- 55:47Speaker 5: in the minor leagues and they joined the major league.
- 55:49Speaker 5: And because there are so many more levels in the
- 55:51Speaker 5: minor leagues, you know, when you look at organizational days lost,
- 55:55Speaker 5: it's weighted towards the minor league. So our theory was
- 55:58Speaker 5: there's something going on with the Yankee, the Mets, and Orioles,
- 56:01Speaker 5: and to some extent the Tigers and Astros are up
- 56:03Speaker 5: there too, that is causing them to miss a lot
- 56:06Speaker 5: of days on an organizational level. And when you think
- 56:10Speaker 5: about that, you know, the first what you just said,
- 56:12Speaker 5: there is an effect of that, because you know, the
- 56:16Speaker 5: Yankees and Mets are going to sign veteran major leaguers
- 56:20Speaker 5: to minor league deals. They're going to sign guys who
- 56:22Speaker 5: are getting tj to a minor league deal. You know,
- 56:25Speaker 5: those signed guys who've been hurt to minor league deals.
- 56:29Speaker 5: So their you know, triple A system is probably older
- 56:32Speaker 5: than most other teams that probably has more former Major
- 56:35Speaker 5: leaguers in it, and they're more willing to either draft
- 56:41Speaker 5: or sign a guy who's injured, saying hey, yeah whatever,
- 56:44Speaker 5: Like you know, for us, it's a pittance of money
- 56:47Speaker 5: and what we can do is you might potentially come
- 56:50Speaker 5: out of this healthy and help us at the big
- 56:53Speaker 5: league level. So there is some of that. There's another
- 56:55Speaker 5: part of it is, you know, inconsistent reporting. So you know,
- 56:59Speaker 5: the Rogers don't, the Cubs don't show up very high
- 57:03Speaker 5: on this entry list, and some people said, well, I've
- 57:06Speaker 5: watched Cubs minor league games where that dude is injured,
- 57:09Speaker 5: but he's not on the IL. He's just on the bench.
- 57:11Speaker 5: He's just sitting there.
- 57:12Speaker 3: You know, And they don't bother.
- 57:14Speaker 1: They don't have to.
- 57:15Speaker 5: They're not trying to win games. They don't have reporters
- 57:17Speaker 5: asking them where's bobity blah. They don't have to put
- 57:19Speaker 5: everybody who's injured on the IL.
- 57:21Speaker 3: So that's part of it.
- 57:23Speaker 5: But I think the most interesting aspect is that the Orioles, Yankees,
- 57:27Speaker 5: and Mets are data driven organizations and they are big
- 57:32Speaker 5: proponents of things like stuff plus bat speed. The Yankees
- 57:36Speaker 5: have some of the best, maybe the best bat speed
- 57:39Speaker 5: in the minor leagues, and so if you're training your
- 57:42Speaker 5: minor leaguers heavily to throw the ball hard and swing
- 57:46Speaker 5: the bat hard, and those are really big sort of
- 57:49Speaker 5: key performance indicators for your team. As you're developing players,
- 57:53Speaker 5: you might be pushing the needle on what they can
- 57:57Speaker 5: manage athletically, you might be pushing them into the red.
- 58:00Speaker 5: You might be pushing them into potential injury situations. And
- 58:04Speaker 5: so what becomes really important is monitoring fatigue, Monitoring how
- 58:08Speaker 5: many swings they take, how many pitches they take, how
- 58:10Speaker 5: much working out they did, Monitoring all of that, and
- 58:15Speaker 5: really making sure that nobody pushes themselves too hard. Because
- 58:20Speaker 5: baseball so hard. You know, people if they're in a
- 58:23Speaker 5: slump are going to want to go swing, swing, swing,
- 58:25Speaker 5: and swing their way out of it. And they want
- 58:28Speaker 5: to make the major leagues. It's some huge amount of
- 58:30Speaker 5: money waiting for them. So, like you know, they're going
- 58:32Speaker 5: to do everything they can. It's incumbent on organizations to
- 58:36Speaker 5: kind of sometimes say no, please sit down, take a breath.
- 58:41Speaker 5: And just to finish off this idea, the Mariners are
- 58:45Speaker 5: a stuff plus drive an organization. They use stuff plus
- 58:48Speaker 5: I know this as one of their key performance indicators
- 58:51Speaker 5: with pictures. They have a model that's very similar to mine.
- 58:54Speaker 5: They were an early sweeper adopter. You know, they do
- 58:58Speaker 5: things very interestingly in the mind of the eight. And
- 59:01Speaker 5: yet the Mariners were one of the ten more healthy organizations.
- 59:06Speaker 5: And I find that really interesting. The Mariners and Red
- 59:09Speaker 5: Sox were the most progressive minor league organizations in terms
- 59:13Speaker 5: of being data driven that were also healthy. Because the
- 59:17Speaker 5: healthiest teams, a lot of them are not data driven teams.
- 59:19Speaker 5: It's the Royals, it's the Angels, it's the Rockies. They're healthy,
- 59:24Speaker 5: but they're not good. So I wonder if there's sometimes
- 59:27Speaker 5: a sort of a dichotomy between being healthy or being good.
- 59:31Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a fascinating story. I would urge people
- 59:33Speaker 1: to read it on the MLB page at the Athletic,
- 59:35Speaker 1: the Athletic dot com. You know, I'm going to take
- 59:37Speaker 1: a side step here because you said something that caught
- 59:39Speaker 1: my attension and data driven teams, and this is gonna
- 59:44Speaker 1: this is the most simplistic question I can think of,
- 59:46Speaker 1: But I'm trying to figure this out. Who isn't a
- 59:49Speaker 1: data driven team right now? I kind of felt like
- 59:51Speaker 1: we've all evolved in not just at baseball, my goodness,
- 59:55Speaker 1: in all sports that it's we're a lot more data driven.
- 59:57Speaker 1: But I mean, obviously there's probably different levels. But are
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: there some teams that are still what we considered kind
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: of behind the times or old school, and and do
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: they have any success?
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:00:08Speaker 5: I mean I think the Rockies, you know, they it
- 1:00:12Speaker 5: was public knowledge that they did not have a stuff
- 1:00:14Speaker 5: BLUs number and they were like pretty much the only
- 1:00:16Speaker 5: team that didn't. And uh, you know the Angel.
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: Okay, the Angels.
- 1:00:24Speaker 5: The Angels have not uh you know, invested in their
- 1:00:26Speaker 5: minor league system at all. They during COVID, they just
- 1:00:29Speaker 5: fired they just fired all their coaches. They just didn't
- 1:00:31Speaker 5: pay anybody. And that's been sort of indicative of how
- 1:00:35Speaker 5: they feel about their player aboutment system. The White Sox
- 1:00:37Speaker 5: when when Luis Roberts Junior came to the big leagues,
- 1:00:40Speaker 5: I heard that he'd never seen a game plan before,
- 1:00:44Speaker 5: you know, So, you know, there are differing levels of
- 1:00:48Speaker 5: of being data driven, and then there's also just what
- 1:00:52Speaker 5: are you know, what how good are your models? And
- 1:00:54Speaker 5: and then lastly, I just think for some teams, there's
- 1:00:58Speaker 5: data and it's over there, and we look at it
- 1:01:00Speaker 5: sometimes and we use it and for some teams it's
- 1:01:03Speaker 5: sort of infused in all the processes so that like,
- 1:01:06Speaker 5: you know, every decision has an element of it, the
- 1:01:11Speaker 5: players are aware of it. I don't know, So it's
- 1:01:14Speaker 5: a question now. I think you're also right, like everybody
- 1:01:17Speaker 5: is using it. So now it's a question of how
- 1:01:19Speaker 5: well do you use it, how how many of your
- 1:01:23Speaker 5: decisions are infused with it, and how good your models are.
- 1:01:26Speaker 5: That's really the differentiationation now. But you might like like
- 1:01:30Speaker 5: bat speed is a you know, relatively new thing, at
- 1:01:33Speaker 5: least some tracking in terms of the major league level,
- 1:01:37Speaker 5: you know, swing path, all this stuff is relatively new,
- 1:01:40Speaker 5: and there's been a resurgence of WEIGHTEDA training as and
- 1:01:46Speaker 5: you know, to with this. That goes hand in hand
- 1:01:48Speaker 5: with the importance of understanding how important bat speed is
- 1:01:53Speaker 5: and weighted bat training. Let's say you're doing weight at
- 1:01:55Speaker 5: bat training and then you're going into the you know,
- 1:01:58Speaker 5: into the thing and you're doing some bat path work,
- 1:02:01Speaker 5: and then you're swinging over here, and then now everyone
- 1:02:04Speaker 5: really wants to do live VP, you know, wants to
- 1:02:07Speaker 5: do something that's is close to game level. Now you've
- 1:02:09Speaker 5: got to traject. So how many vps did you have today,
- 1:02:12Speaker 5: you know, young minor league hitter, you know, and how
- 1:02:16Speaker 5: many swings did you have? And are we are tracking that?
- 1:02:18Speaker 5: And the lastly the fatigue thing. We have these things
- 1:02:22Speaker 5: called catapult sensors and pulse sensors. They are the sensors
- 1:02:26Speaker 5: you can wear that kind of track all these things
- 1:02:28Speaker 5: and can tell you how fatigued you are, but you're
- 1:02:32Speaker 5: not allowed to make everybody wear them. So there's like
- 1:02:37Speaker 5: a level of.
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: Buy in too.
- 1:02:39Speaker 5: So you can imagine that if you are a team
- 1:02:41Speaker 5: that's sort of like yeah, yeah, yeah, we use data
- 1:02:44Speaker 5: and oh yeah, we would love you.
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: To wear this.
- 1:02:46Speaker 5: That's a little different than like, hey, this is how
- 1:02:49Speaker 5: the Yankees are run, this is how the Dodges are run.
- 1:02:52Speaker 5: We believe in data, We use it in every prest
- 1:02:54Speaker 5: of the game, and your data from these things will
- 1:02:57Speaker 5: help us make better decisions for you, you know, and
- 1:03:00Speaker 5: make a better pitch to like get more buy in
- 1:03:03Speaker 5: when it comes to tracking all this stuff.
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: I think the data driven stuff is Andrews, how many
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: times do we see on the text line people going
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: when things aren't going well for the Mariors, stop with
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: all the analytics, get rid of I think it's making
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: a pretty strong case about how Jerry and company are
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: doing things well.
- 1:03:20Speaker 4: And listen to the teams that he just said aren't
- 1:03:22Speaker 4: very data driven. It's the Angels, the Rockies, and the Royals,
- 1:03:25Speaker 4: three pretty bad teams right now.
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: Well, I mean two of those teams are fifteen games
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: below five hundred, the other one sixteen games below five hundred. Right,
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: So I think that I think, you know, can rest
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: his case right there. You know, Sarah's Johnny is here
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: on the Beacon Plumbing hot line. I did find it.
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: We've been talking about a couple of guys up here
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: for a while in the Manners organizations. We're talking about
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: the organization as well. I know you guys had Keith
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: Law on the other day, Kate Anderson and Ryan Sloan.
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: It sounds like the kind of the guru of of
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: prospect rankings. Keith Law is pretty high on the Mariner's
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: two pitching prospects.
- 1:04:00Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he said he thinks they're the two best
- 1:04:03Speaker 5: pitching projects in baseball. And you can't remember the last
- 1:04:07Speaker 5: time that one team had the two best pitching prospects
- 1:04:10Speaker 5: in baseball. So that's really exciting. What's sort of scary
- 1:04:16Speaker 5: is you know this, you want now. Yeah, Like the
- 1:04:22Speaker 5: fans have been waiting forever, so they're a little bit like, Okay,
- 1:04:25Speaker 5: that's great, that's later. What about now? And you know,
- 1:04:29Speaker 5: with this whole Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller thing, like,
- 1:04:34Speaker 5: I'm sure you guys have to talk about the maritor
- 1:04:36Speaker 5: is much more than I do. Are people talking about
- 1:04:39Speaker 5: trading a pitcher?
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: Well, that's why I'm just gonna get to because like
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: they have six now because Bryce Miller was back and healthy,
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: and they're going at least during this road trip, they're
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: going to the true six man rotation. It sounds like
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: the piggyback, although statistically the piggyback things worked statistically, but
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: it sounds like they're going to a six. So you've
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: got six and then you've got Kate Anderson and Ryan
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: So now Ryan Sloan's only twenty years old, but you've
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: got Kate Anderson and Ryan Sloan sitting there just waiting.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: And it feels like this embarrassment of riches and arms
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: could translate, you know, into a trade deadline something happening, right, Like,
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: I think you just have to make the right choice
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: of which of your major league guys you want to move.
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: We were even talking earlier about like last year, Wu
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: was injured at the start of the postseason. He pitched twice,
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: both in relief. I believe right Andrews both both those
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: his appearance of the relief Yes, with Brian Wu. Brian,
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: who's your number one guy? Right, so he's your one
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: guy and who you know kind of then you have
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: to work your way down who's two, three, four, five, six?
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: You got to move one of those guys, don't you
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: with with Sloan and Anderson sitting there in the in
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: the wings.
- 1:05:43Speaker 5: I don't know if you have to move them because
- 1:05:46Speaker 5: you have a those two guys. My argument is a
- 1:05:49Speaker 5: little bit more like what do you do with this
- 1:05:52Speaker 5: trade deadline? You know, and you know, how do you
- 1:05:55Speaker 5: make this team better? Because they have a chance to
- 1:05:59Speaker 5: be I think still I don't think they've even really
- 1:06:02Speaker 5: fully gotten going. So I think they have a chance
- 1:06:04Speaker 5: to be one of the two or three best teams
- 1:06:07Speaker 5: in the American League in the year where the American
- 1:06:10Speaker 5: League feels wide open, and you know, they haven't won
- 1:06:14Speaker 5: the World Series like they were just you know, as
- 1:06:16Speaker 5: close as they've ever been, so like, you know, I
- 1:06:19Speaker 5: think that they it behooves them to like discuss like
- 1:06:23Speaker 5: how do we push our chips in and where does
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: that Where can we get an impact bat? And I
- 1:06:30Speaker 5: think with some of the versatility of a Brendan Donovan
- 1:06:34Speaker 5: and Colt Emerson and you know, even a Luke Rayley
- 1:06:40Speaker 5: that you could you could fit somebody in even at
- 1:06:43Speaker 5: d H you know, if you're playing canzone a little
- 1:06:47Speaker 5: bit more in the outfield or you know, so there's
- 1:06:51Speaker 5: there's the question of like how much we want Crawford,
- 1:06:55Speaker 5: it's short, where we fit this guy in? Is there
- 1:06:57Speaker 5: an impact bat good enough? Is that impact ba going
- 1:07:01Speaker 5: to be with us next year? Because if you're going
- 1:07:03Speaker 5: to trade one of the good pictures, then you want
- 1:07:06Speaker 5: a bat that's gonna just not a rental situation, right,
- 1:07:09Speaker 5: you know. Yeah, So I think that's that's sort of
- 1:07:13Speaker 5: when you come up because like the easiest thing would be, like, well,
- 1:07:15Speaker 5: trade Luis Castillo, but I think in that case, with
- 1:07:17Speaker 5: the money left on his deal and his performance today,
- 1:07:21Speaker 5: it would be more of a it wouldn't be getting
- 1:07:24Speaker 5: you much back. You might have to pay some of
- 1:07:28Speaker 5: that salary down.
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: I mean, you study picture as much as anybody, Like
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: which of those six guys would you definitely say, is like,
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: you're not moving them, You're not even the phone rings,
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: you're not even picking it up.
- 1:07:40Speaker 5: Oh man, I guess woo. I mean he's got four
- 1:07:47Speaker 5: years left that you know, he's on the minimum salary dude.
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:07:51Speaker 5: I think that's something that people look at. And I
- 1:07:54Speaker 5: love Logan Gilbert and the splitter thing has been really
- 1:07:57Speaker 5: good for him. But he's the most expensive guy and
- 1:08:00Speaker 5: he only has one more year. So you know, from
- 1:08:03Speaker 5: a spreadsheet sort of standpoint, that might be the answer.
- 1:08:07Speaker 5: I mean, I think you can also look internally and say,
- 1:08:10Speaker 5: you know, why is Kirby's strikeout right down? We did
- 1:08:14Speaker 5: a piece on that today on Raisin Barrels. And do
- 1:08:19Speaker 5: we think that he's going to fix that or is
- 1:08:21Speaker 5: he just mostly like a two three guy instead of
- 1:08:25Speaker 5: the kind of ace that we thought he would be.
- 1:08:27Speaker 5: And if he's at then maybe that's where the best
- 1:08:30Speaker 5: value proposition is. But then you better get a good
- 1:08:32Speaker 5: piece back. If you're training, I think you gotta you're
- 1:08:36Speaker 5: getting a You're getting a hitter that's that's here for
- 1:08:38Speaker 5: maybe two more years at least, and somebody that fits
- 1:08:41Speaker 5: in the middle of your lineup. So I don't know
- 1:08:43Speaker 5: that that that's out there. It's just something that is
- 1:08:46Speaker 5: more abstract and concrete for me right now. It's just
- 1:08:49Speaker 5: a slight imbalance as usual with all the pitching that
- 1:08:54Speaker 5: you know, it's you're always trying to improve the lineup
- 1:08:56Speaker 5: in Seattle. I feel like and and you know, so
- 1:08:59Speaker 5: you got to think about how do we make this work.
- 1:09:01Speaker 5: I think trading Kate Anderson and Ryan Sloan would be
- 1:09:05Speaker 5: prey aggressive, given how well how much people think of them.
- 1:09:08Speaker 5: And honestly, guys that are like top ten prospects don't
- 1:09:11Speaker 5: get traded very.
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: Often, no, and nor should they. What I'm asking is,
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: I'm more of the guys that are on the staff
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: right now. The Kurby thing, we'll probably get into that
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: a little bit next week because it was a little
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: bit of a rough outing yesterday, although we didn't have
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: a lot of help behind him in terms of defense,
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: so U but yeah, I'm sure you guys looked a
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: little bit deeper into the numbers, velocity and all that stuff,
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: and we'll get to that next week. In the meantime,
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: tell people about the Rates and Barrels podcast we've taken
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: download on a daily basis.
- 1:09:38Speaker 5: Yeah, we we had Tremvor May on today and we
- 1:09:42Speaker 5: just we went into a lot of different things. One
- 1:09:44Speaker 5: is that there's a home run explosion in the low
- 1:09:46Speaker 5: minors and that right now the ball, the major league
- 1:09:52Speaker 5: ball that they're using, is changing in front of our eyes.
- 1:09:56Speaker 5: The drag on the ball is dropping with almost every
- 1:09:59Speaker 5: day that we play baseball this year. So last year
- 1:10:02Speaker 5: was some of the most drag on the ball, and
- 1:10:04Speaker 5: the more drag you having the ball, the fewer homers
- 1:10:07Speaker 5: are hit. And this year the drag is dropping as
- 1:10:11Speaker 5: the season progresses. So I don't know, we maybe said
- 1:10:14Speaker 5: heading towards more homers this summer, I.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: Mean on that. I love that. By the way, June second,
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: two days ago, just look for the Rates and Barrels podcast.
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: That's where you can get some some love for Kate Anderson,
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: Ryan Sloan and another marin of prospect in that podcast
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: as well. So go check that out. In the meantime,
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: we will talk to you next week. You know, thank
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: you very much, all right, thanks for having me there
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: you go, you know, Sarah joining us from the Athletic,
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: Theathletic dot Com and the Rates and Barrels Podcast. Good
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: stuff there from EEno talking about something I mean, yeah,
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: and I just want to clarify I was not saying
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: andersoner Sloan. You don't know, guys, But of the six.
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: I think Logan makes the most sense. I'm gonna be
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: completely honest.
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: I think you've got to move one of those guys.
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: Logan or Kirby.
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: I think you do, guys.
- 1:10:59Speaker 4: Like what he said about Castillo is so true. And
- 1:11:01Speaker 4: I think the thing I always come to is he
- 1:11:04Speaker 4: has more value to you as a franchise, the Mariners
- 1:11:07Speaker 4: than he does on the trade market.
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: So and you like, if you're gonna at some point
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: you do go all chips in, yes, right, like like
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: at some point you push them all in, and that's
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: gonna have to It's like we talked about John Forzeln
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: an hour ago, right, like, like we get uncomfortable sometimes
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: with ah, we don't want to this this guy. He's
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: our guy. You know, he's our guy. We drafted him,
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: we developed him and all that. And baseball and really
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: baseball and hockey have that same kind of mindset sometimes,
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: you know, and you know that's great, but this is
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: pro sports, yeah, and you need to make hard, tough
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: moves and decisions sometimes so you can take that next
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: step forward.
- 1:11:46Speaker 4: To be fair to the Mariners, they are in a
- 1:11:48Speaker 4: different timeline than the Crack and our right now obviously right,
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: So I'm just.
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: Talking about your guys, like your guys, Like there's a
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: I don't care whose jersey is getting worn, who sweat
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: is getting worn? And like if you can make a
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: move on a guy like you, do it to make
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: your team better. It's also what it's also what gms
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: and every sport are paid to do. To be aggressive.
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: Exactly like I saw a guy in l a less
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: need might be his name. Oh yeah, got fairly aggressive. Yeah,
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: pretty dang aggressive.
- 1:12:16Speaker 3: All right?
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: Daily power Play next here come to crack your example?
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: Do you want?

- 1:13:12Speaker 1: Tonight's right here on I three point three KJFM. Five
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: o'clock face off, John for Island, Eddie Oldcheck on the
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: call on the national radio broadcast, which we'll have for
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: you here, which was nice to have our guys on
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: the call. Speaking of John Foresland earlier today, he joined
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: me in the noon hour and ask John, what the
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: krack you need to do in this offseason? How aggressive
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: must they be and how important the next few weeks are.
- 1:13:34Speaker 3: I'm not going to give you the exact solutions, because
- 1:13:36Speaker 3: I don't know, it's not my job, but i will
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: tell you that I think they're positioned well to get
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: creative and do it. And they've already said that they're
- 1:13:45Speaker 3: going to be aggressive, and it was already said in
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: the past offseason, you know, and a couple of moves
- 1:13:51Speaker 3: were made and a couple of those were good. And
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: me on the March min situation and all of that,
- 1:13:57Speaker 3: it's kind of a mixed review on everything that happened
- 1:13:59Speaker 3: the last off season. This is a different story. This
- 1:14:03Speaker 3: is where you've done just about everything you can do.
- 1:14:05Speaker 3: You've cleared the deck, you've you've you've got a new
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: type of organization, a new direction. You've had an internal
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: auditive of your doings. You know how you're going to
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: make it better, you know. So, yeah, I'm with you.
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: I can't wait, you know, speaking with somebody over at
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: the rink this morning. This is nice. We're going through
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: the final. There's nothing like it. But at the at
- 1:14:26Speaker 3: the back end of the final is the resumption of
- 1:14:28Speaker 3: business for all the teams. I just can't wait. You know,
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: maybe this Larkin thing is the first thing. Right. It's exciting,
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: it's exciting for the fans. So you got to dig
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: in and watch see what happens through the draft. But
- 1:14:41Speaker 3: most importantly, I think this is one of these years
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: where the draft can be a mechanism to something else.
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: Let's see if it happens.
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: Let's see if it happens.
- 1:14:51Speaker 8: Uh.
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: That is he mentioned that at the start last year,
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: you heard some of the same talk. Aggressive offseason. You
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: got to you know, got all these draft picks you can,
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: you know, use to and prospects so you can use anders. Yes,
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: last offseason netted you. Mason Marchmant, Ryan Lindgren, Freddie Gudraw.
- 1:15:11Speaker 4: I wouldn't consider that aggressive personally, not in the least
- 1:15:15Speaker 4: at least the results, right, because we all know you
- 1:15:18Speaker 4: could try to do something and then it takes two
- 1:15:20Speaker 4: to tango, YadA, YadA, YadA. But in terms of the results,
- 1:15:23Speaker 4: I wouldn't consider that aggressive.
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: You got a fourth liner in Gaudreau, Who's Who's a
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: guy that can play up and down the line for you? Sure,
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: And you got a third pair defenseman. And you've got
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: a guy that didn't want to be here in Marshman
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: who they who? They? To their credit, they got rid
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: of him pretty quickly. I mean as soon as they could.
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: Probably should have never brought him here in the first place.
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: We could debate that part of it, but they did.
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: When you make a mistake, fix it, and they did.
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: The other two guys were just guys. So yeah, I
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: I this has to be a better off season. Listen.
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: I keep saying that. I'm gonna say it again. The
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: fans here deserve it. John John said that. Johnny Forestl
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: just said that an hour and a half ago. The
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: fans deserve it. And here's the other thing. You don't
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: want to have happen. You don't want to get caught
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: in the wake. I'm sitting here at the Virginia Mason
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: Athletics Center. We already tweeted the picture out. There's two
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: Lombardi's here. One of them came just a few months ago.
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: And yes, maybe most people think the Rams are already
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: clinched the Super Bowl title, but they're gonna play it out.

- 1:16:50Speaker 1: I mean they like I don't even I don't know

- 1:20:08Speaker 2: Seemed to work out for them pretty.
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: Well, kind of, did it? Yeah? See, just double check
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: the list of recent Lombardi winners. Although, yeah, they want it. Yeah,
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: it's weird. Everybody's already twenty twenty twenty six, NFL champion,
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: super Bowl champion, this La Rams already penciled in there.
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: I guess so.
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: God Dan Campbell, the Lions coach today, kind of did
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: a little thing on that because I guess they already
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: want it. Whatever.
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: It's true, though, like what is what?
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: Like?
- 1:20:36Speaker 4: I get that, you know, power rankings are thing and
- 1:20:40Speaker 4: at this time of the year, like that's what you're
- 1:20:41Speaker 4: gonna be talking about, right, Yeah, but come.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: On, they've they've upgraded their roster shild already, they had
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: already upgraded their roster significantly with the two cornerbacks, and
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: then you throw that in, Uh, they've They've done a
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: lot of work, doesn't But that's the beautiful thing about
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: the NFL. A lot of stuff has to happen. I
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: wish they were in the AFC. Yeah, I need to,
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: that'd be way better. I heard Mike Florio yesterday with
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: Softy and Dick. He's like, yeah, I mean, I think
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: we all believe if if they would have been a
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: different conference, those two teams, they would have played the
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I agree with that, right, and then we
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: would have had a lot more compelling super Bowl and
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: people wouldn't hate the Seahawks so much. Well, and they
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: blame Seattle for a bad super Bowl.
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: True because we're too good.
- 1:21:24Speaker 4: Or two that we've won, you know, are been two
- 1:21:26Speaker 4: of the most boring super Bowls for the neutral.
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, hey, you know what, We'll take it all.
- 1:21:32Speaker 6: I know this.
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: I enjoyed both of them immensely, immensely. We we had
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: some fun earlier because the Lombardi Trophy number two is
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: here in the lobby. I tweeted that out because Softy
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: wanted to know we were not talking about some of
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: the trophies you just think are the best and want
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: to be you know, like if you could just post
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: yourself with a picture and do a selfie with a trophy,
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: would have been me, Stanley Cup Lombardi would be two.
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: But we got some good ones coming in on the
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: text line four nine, four to five one. We'll get
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: to those a little bit later on Andrews. I want
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: to run this by you if you missed it. What
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: an hour ago we announced KJR is your home for
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: the World Cup. We are totally your home for the
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: World Cup. Games on nine to fifty. Games here on
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: ninety three point three KTERFM pre and post game coverage
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: with Anderson Hurst and Furious Felts Jackson Jackson Felts. So
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: we're going to be all over the World Cup. This
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: story came out today and people are losing you know
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: where I'm going with this. People are losing their mind
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: right now. So FIFA has made a late change to policy.
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: They are now barring fans from bringing refillable water bottles
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: into the tournament sixteen stadiums across North America. So initially,
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: initially FIFA stadium rules had stated that fans could bring
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: in a transparent, reusable bottle up to one leader or
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: for those of us in this country, thirty three point
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: eight ounce capacity. Okay, yeah, a leader or thirty three
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: point eight ounces. So that was the initial thing. They
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: just changed that on third day morning, interesting and they
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: updated that. So now they say that there are no
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: longer they are no longer for the avoidance of doubt,
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: reusable water bottles may not be brought into stadiums well.
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: From England to Belgium to all points in between, fan
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: groups are losing their mind. And and here's the thing.
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: So Coca Cola is a big sponsor, sure, right, so
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: obviously they want to sell I think I know they
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: have a bottle water brand. I don't know what it is,
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: off the top of my head. Yeah, I think it's yea, yeah.
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: So that's that's who gets. They're trying to sell bottles
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: of water at god knows what price, right, you know,
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: a bottle of water that if you've bought in the
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: story you get like a twelve pack for five bucks
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: is probably eight bucks just for one bottle. But the
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: problem is now, depending on what stadium it is, there's
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: a lot of stadiums that have no shade, right, and
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: you're asking people to this isn't the Third World country, man, No, okay,
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: Like we're not playing in some This is America, Mexico
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: and Canada. This is where FIFA, and I don't FIFA
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: is kind of of that group. They're kind of like
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: the NFL. They like the Seahawks. We don't care, we
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: don't care, we don't care. I can't speak for the
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: other countries, but I think this is one of those
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: things again that that hurts the It hurts the perception
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: in this country because the FIFA money grap which you
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: hear see written talked about all the time. Is it's hard,
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: especially in the country here where soccer is not the
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: main game and people get upset. Now, I'm with Jackson
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: and you when we talked about this now ago. I
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: think once the games start being played, that's the kind
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: of stuff people will forget.
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: The gouging of the ticket prices, which sounds like they're
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: all coming down anyway, which would really piss you off
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: if you bought them initially, right if you're going to
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: get them for a little less money. But those are
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: the things that that just kind of said the whole thing,
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: or to cover up loom and Field with some duct tapement,
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: like God, what are we doing?
- 1:25:06Speaker 3: Come on?
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: But and I under understand it though, because we I
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: saw the same thing in the Olympics when I was
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: in Salt Lake. Now, the Olympics are a little different
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: because they build venues for you and then they leave
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: venues behind for you, right like you, Hey, there's a
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: speed skating track. We can now have people come here
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: and train and you know, hey, there's a there's a
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: there's a high a law ski jump. That's the park
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: city that we left that behind other buildings like the
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: Delta Center, which was the host for figure skating. Uh,
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: they had to cover that up, right, So, like, I
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: that's not just a FIFA, it's not abnormal. No, I
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: just but this is the kind of things that like, guys,
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: stop it. Just let people bring a water bottle in
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: and fill it up, you know, Like, and that was
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: the whole thing, because you're already the price, you're making money.
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: You're not. This isn't a minor league operation where you're
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: hoping like, hey we can sell a few water bottles
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: to make you know, so we we break even for
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: tonight's minor league game here with a single abait. That's
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: not what it is. Yeah, you know, and these are
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: the things that pissed people off. And I understand why. Again,
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: I do think that we'll kind of forget about some
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, when it's all said, then the way
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: they're shutting down the streets we're talking about that was
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: softy yesterday. I mean, it's gonna be a pain in
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: the ass around here. But I think in the n'll
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: worl worth it and well we'll have some fun with it.
- 1:26:19Speaker 4: So yeah, I do wonder with this water bottle story,
- 1:26:21Speaker 4: how much of it is trying to sell more water
- 1:26:25Speaker 4: bottles versus how much of it is a security thing,
- 1:26:29Speaker 4: because I do know from internal conversations that is a
- 1:26:32Speaker 4: concern for a lot of people, especially here in Seattle,
- 1:26:36Speaker 4: going let me stop.
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: You right there, Let me stop right there, because because
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: you as you and Jackson in our station and everybody
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: starts playing, you guys are all in these planning stages.
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: All you guys are involved with the with the World
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: Cup coverage, and I know this seems like there's a
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: meeting to have a meeting every day, right, You guys
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: are doing a ton of organizing, which is awesome. And
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: again we're gonna have all that stuff here on our stations,
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: whether it be here on ninety three point three KORFM
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: or a nine to fifty am. And then I'm assuming
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: the apps as well, so on the Iheartrap app. But
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: how is security a massive concern for FIFA?
- 1:27:10Speaker 4: I think less for FIFA because they kind of leave
- 1:27:13Speaker 4: that up to each individual venue and city to kind of,
- 1:27:16Speaker 4: you know, make sure that everything.
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: Is so for here. What do you get the impression of, I.
- 1:27:20Speaker 4: Think that there's just a lot of stuff to figure
- 1:27:23Speaker 4: out still, and not just in terms of like obviously
- 1:27:26Speaker 4: bringing in an empty water bottle in and of itself
- 1:27:28Speaker 4: is not going to really change much in security, but
- 1:27:30Speaker 4: you never know, like what you can fill up with
- 1:27:33Speaker 4: that kind of stuff. And like there's the thought that
- 1:27:36Speaker 4: people can throw them onto the field. You've seen that
- 1:27:38Speaker 4: before with like a lot of soccer fans can get
- 1:27:40Speaker 4: pretty rowdy sometimes. I'm I'm not saying that they're incentive
- 1:27:45Speaker 4: to doing this wasn't money driven, but there are like
- 1:27:49Speaker 4: other parts to the reasoning behind this. And the big
- 1:27:53Speaker 4: thing is, Okay, if this was your plan, just say
- 1:27:56Speaker 4: that from the beginning, right, instead of change that's it
- 1:27:58Speaker 4: last minute.
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:27:59Speaker 1: That's the problem I think people have is it it
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: was a policy in place and it got changed. What
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: is it seven days away? Yeah from the first game. Yeah,
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: come on, guys, stop it, Yeah, just stop it, stop it,
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: stop it. But all right, I'm just glad we're carrying
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: the games. I think it's awesome. I think guys will
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: do a great job and I can't wait for it
- 1:28:16Speaker 1: along the way, Uh, we'll get We've got a lot
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: of good text coming in today. We also got some
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: text talking about all of a sudden, we you and
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: I went down the path of trying to trade Mariner pictures. Yeah,
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: so people are jumping and I love it. Listen, you
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: have to move somebody, don't you.
- 1:28:34Speaker 4: I don't think you have to, but I think they should.
- 1:28:37Speaker 4: They obviously they are very reluctant to trade starting pitching.
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: We've been asking them to do that for you know,
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: you would move a position player too.
- 1:28:45Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it would probably take someone like dom
- 1:28:48Speaker 4: can Zone who has some trade value in order and
- 1:28:52Speaker 4: because you have a logjam there too.
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: Let's be honest, right, because that's what because we just
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: talked about they've got a lot of guys that can
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: sort of play corner out field, sure, and they got
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: a lot of guys that should be d H's And
- 1:29:04Speaker 1: then they've got a utility guy that I don't know.
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: Maybe we don't even count on Donovan coming back. I
- 1:29:09Speaker 1: mean whatever, but I'd be like, but you've got him,
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: who's going to be a utility guy? Sure you're not
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: gonna I mean, I think it's safe to say the
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: kids here right, whether he's playing third or go anywhere here,
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: he ain't robless is healthy? Now like maybe yeah, like
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: who can zone would have some trade value?
- 1:29:28Speaker 6: Right?
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: Who else would have trade I don't know who else
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: would have trade value?
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: But but I like his defense. I don't I think
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: you've got to have I don't.
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: Think you can move him because your defense in the
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: corner is so bad as it is right like, and
- 1:29:39Speaker 1: he's It's just I mean they're married to Randy and
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: left field, it appears even though he's got like you
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: and I might have a stronger arm than him.
- 1:29:48Speaker 4: But I mean his offense is good enough that you
- 1:29:51Speaker 4: can handle that. And at left field, if there is a.
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: Better team on a better team, he should be a
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: DH a better defensively team defensive team, yeah, yeah.
- 1:29:59Speaker 4: But I think the big thing is regardless of position,
- 1:30:02Speaker 4: you know, and you can kind of figure it out later.
- 1:30:04Speaker 4: You need someone that can hit left handed pitching period,
- 1:30:06Speaker 4: end of story. And you know someone like Byron Buckston.
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: Wait stop, I'm gonna stop you there. Yeah, they signed
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: a guy for six million dollars.
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: Well, it isn't working, so you got to find it
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: something else.

- 1:31:40Speaker 1: Good job, mister Mauler. Check in later, guys, Hello show.
- 1:31:47Speaker 11: The iconic image of the one arm raised Lombardi Trophy
- 1:31:53Speaker 11: will always the iconic I got in my mind. I
- 1:31:56Speaker 11: have Tom Brady doing the one arm. I have Russell
- 1:31:58Speaker 11: Wilson doing the one arm. I got John Elway doing
- 1:32:01Speaker 11: the one arm. I got so many guys. I got
- 1:32:04Speaker 11: Eli Manning.
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: Doing the one arm.
- 1:32:06Speaker 11: It's the one arm up in the air. Hell yeah,
- 1:32:10Speaker 11: I just won the.
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: F in the Super Bowl.
- 1:32:15Speaker 12: Listening to John Forstland made me realize something about this
- 1:32:19Speaker 12: group that owns the Kraken.
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: Are they wealthy enough.
- 1:32:28Speaker 12: To own a basketball team without being too cheap. I
- 1:32:34Speaker 12: don't care about marketing. I want division champions I want wins.
- 1:32:40Speaker 12: So that's my concern about this.
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: Wow, there's a lot to chew on there. There is
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: a lot to chew On Andrews. Let's see. Let me
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: start for I'll work backwards. The first one. If you've
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: been paying attention this week, Melinda French gates were thirty
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: billion dollars. That's thirty bill with a be added to
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: the ownership group. They the KRACK can spend basically to
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: the cap every year with in terms of the salaries.
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: As far as the NBA is concerned, I know there's
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: more money involved there. I don't think that's an issue.
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. El cheap O. Tom Dundon
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: just bought the team down in Portland, the Trailblazers, and
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: he's worth He's worth I believe about one twentieth.
- 1:33:28Speaker 3: No this lesson that.
- 1:33:28Speaker 7: What is it?
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: He's worth like four billion or he's not worth that
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: much compared to like what the ownership is here. So yes,
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: they're fine, don't worry about that. Let's see the other one.
- 1:33:39Speaker 1: Fifty since dining or driving with Dave. Yeah, yeah, it's
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: been fifties. I missed driving with Dave. He got in
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: trouble though. I think Gina told him no more, Wow,
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: why you're not doing it? Yeah? I like driving with Dave.
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite Instagram things. It's only happened once,
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: but I thought I like driving with Dave. I thought
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: it was fan because he gets mad.
- 1:33:58Speaker 3: Yeah he does.
- 1:34:00Speaker 4: It's like when he's driving, he's like, has that extra
- 1:34:02Speaker 4: level of curve.
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: Yeah, but he has to kind of keep it in
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: control because he's driving with Ave. Yeah, that's true, right
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: with Tave along the way.
- 1:34:11Speaker 2: Uh. The Lombardi Trophy one.
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: Oh, so we've got a lot of good texts four nine,
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: four or five to one. I like this one two
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: five three. I want to eat spaghetti out of Sir
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: Lord Stanley's cup.
- 1:34:23Speaker 4: I will say, like, yes, the kind of two hands
- 1:34:27Speaker 4: holding the trophy sideways with the hockey player skated.
- 1:34:32Speaker 2: Is an iconic image.
- 1:34:33Speaker 4: I do think that in terms of like the picture
- 1:34:35Speaker 4: in my head, I definitely picture the winning quarterback lifting
- 1:34:39Speaker 4: the Lombardi Trophy as number one in terms of American sports.
- 1:34:42Speaker 4: I still put image in my head the captain of
- 1:34:46Speaker 4: the soccer team lifting the the one gold World Cup
- 1:34:50Speaker 4: with the entire team behind them and the fireworks on
- 1:34:53Speaker 4: in the background. There's that's just etched into my brain.
- 1:34:55Speaker 4: I could see every single one of those, depending on
- 1:34:58Speaker 4: you know what year it was, so yeah. I I
- 1:35:00Speaker 4: think that's a good point about which trophy is better,
- 1:35:02Speaker 4: which one kind of you picture in your head.
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's we got a lot of really
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: good ones coming in and we'll get back to the text.
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: I know we got it. Might have another talk about
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: we have one more fire away.
- 1:35:15Speaker 11: Onders.
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: I love this topic.
- 1:35:17Speaker 11: If I were to reset the rotation after the All
- 1:35:20Speaker 11: Star weekend, I would go WU Miller, Handcock, Logan, Logan,
- 1:35:28Speaker 11: and then Kirby. So yeah, Wu Miller, Handcock, Logan. Kirby
- 1:35:35Speaker 11: rounds out my top five, and then I would go
- 1:35:38Speaker 11: with the Killer.
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: Kid so no Castile.
- 1:35:45Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think most people are kind of
- 1:35:49Speaker 4: viewing that as a sixth person in the rotation. Anyway,
- 1:35:54Speaker 4: I still think there's something there and he's going to
- 1:35:56Speaker 4: give you value for the rest of the regular season,
- 1:35:58Speaker 4: whether that is to give some guys more off days
- 1:36:00Speaker 4: or whatever. But I mean, yeah, I would agree in
- 1:36:03Speaker 4: terms of with that order, I probably swap. I still
- 1:36:07Speaker 4: think Kirby's three for me over Hancock. I don't know,
- 1:36:13Speaker 4: it's it's tough, it's it's hard to jet.
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think there's a there's gotta be
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: a resume piece that kicks in. Yeah, you know, you've
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: done it better longer, right.
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: The odd thing is I'm not mistaken. At one point
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: Hancock wasn't he thought to be the top guy?
- 1:36:28Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: Prospect wise, yes, he was.
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: Yeah like that. At like at one point he was
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: the guy.
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: He was their first run pick. Yeah, yeah, twenty twenty,
- 1:36:34Speaker 2: I believe it was.
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: Yeah. Right, let's see, let's see what else we got
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: going on. Stanley Cup is the most iconic, but I
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: think the World Series trophy is the coolest looking trophy.
- 1:36:43Speaker 1: Gold medal trumps them all. That's from John. Yeah, gold
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: medals just crazy crazy. Master's Trophy. I think you mean
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: the green jacket.
- 1:36:51Speaker 4: The green jo There is a trophy too, Oh is there? Yeah,
- 1:36:55Speaker 4: it's like yeah, the goal. It's like the the Clubhouse.
- 1:36:58Speaker 4: It's a giant kind of thing.
- 1:37:00Speaker 2: Look just look it up. Master's Trophy.
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: Okay, I should know that, but I don't. That's a
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: that's a that's a that's an problem right there.
- 1:37:08Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's like a kind of metal version of
- 1:37:13Speaker 4: the Augusta National Clubhouse.
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: The the Somebody said, am I the only one that
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: thinks the World Cup trophy is underwhelming? Yeah?
- 1:37:21Speaker 2: I know, I don't think you're the only one to
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: answer your question. It depends on that's not.
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: Me saying that it's a texture. I know, I know
- 1:37:28Speaker 1: I would show I show far more respect to the
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: to the World Cup. A lot of people don't show respect.
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: I'm showing respect.
- 1:37:33Speaker 2: Yeah, And I know there's a lot of I'm a
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: home with the World Cup.
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:37:36Speaker 4: Three, there's a lot of texts we don't care about soccer, YadA, YadA, YadA.
- 1:37:39Speaker 4: That's just bound to happen, you know. Yeah, I've accepted
- 1:37:43Speaker 4: that it's not for everyone.
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: All right, the old mug, I'm only known as America's
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: Cup trophy. That's that's the sailing thing.
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: Yeah, oh really yeah.
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: Oh now here's here's sarcasm at its finest. But I'm
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: here for it all day. You're forget think about the
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: greatest trophy, the better Cup, which, if we all know,
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: the guitar is not a trophy. It's a guitar for
- 1:38:10Speaker 1: a guy that's a Chicago Cubs fan, for the Padres
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: and the Mariners. Correct, Am I right on that?
- 1:38:17Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: God, that's the most that is the most forced thing
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: in the history of man.
- 1:38:25Speaker 2: It's so bad, and I get it because MLB does
- 1:38:28Speaker 2: this whole it's even worse this year because all got swept. Yeah,
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: well that's true.
- 1:38:32Speaker 4: Yeah, I get it, because they're trying to make something
- 1:38:34Speaker 4: because MLB does this rivalry weekend where all the rivals
- 1:38:38Speaker 4: play each other at the same time, and that's just
- 1:38:41Speaker 4: those two teams just happen to not really have any
- 1:38:43Speaker 4: other big rivalries, or at least their rivals have bigger
- 1:38:47Speaker 4: rivals than that, so they play each other more than
- 1:38:49Speaker 4: anything else. Right, Yeah, so, I mean it just happens to.
- 1:38:53Speaker 1: Be what it is. But our buddy Jeremy the Mayor's trophy,
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: not that I'll ever hoist it. Well, there's no trophy
- 1:38:57Speaker 1: for the Mayor's medals. We go metals. Oh nice, yeah,
- 1:39:00Speaker 1: we go medals fort Mike didn't get a metal. No,
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: we did not.
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: I mean we set the pace. We didn't win, but you're.
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: Eligible to win. I mean if you guys can I
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: don't know, play a little better.
- 1:39:11Speaker 2: Hey, you know what, enough enough slander for myself and
- 1:39:14Speaker 2: my then.
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: Hey, sir, let's be honest. It was Ben's fault.
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: Don't don't say it too loud. H fourteen five.
- 1:39:23Speaker 4: I see your text about a certain talk pack being
- 1:39:26Speaker 4: left out for the third day in a row.
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: Oh, we gotta check on that. We're doing some. There's
- 1:39:29Speaker 1: some there's some legalities we need to work through.
- 1:39:32Speaker 4: Yes, we want to make sure we can play it,
- 1:39:34Speaker 4: but we enjoy them. Keep sending them in, even if
- 1:39:37Speaker 4: m might.
- 1:39:38Speaker 1: Rhyme with Clifford, so we want it back. We just
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: got to work through.
- 1:39:41Speaker 2: Even if it's just for my ears. I love it,
- 1:39:43Speaker 2: so keep sending it.
- 1:39:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry, but the World Cup is the ugliest
- 1:39:48Speaker 1: trophy out there, is it?
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: No animals, No, no, and again, each to their own.
- 1:39:53Speaker 1: It's not for you. It's not for you.
- 1:39:54Speaker 4: How much of your I hate soccer is coming out
- 1:39:58Speaker 4: with saying that the World Cup trophy is ugly? Just
- 1:40:01Speaker 4: try and view it as a trophy in itself.
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: Why why is soccer this is? This is a topic
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: for another day, opening a candle worm discussion for another day.
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: Why why is it that that is the Like I
- 1:40:18Speaker 1: don't there's sports I'm not a fan of, sure, but
- 1:40:21Speaker 1: I never go and say I hate blank right, Like, Like,
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: why is it? Why is it okay for people just
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: to say I hate that school.
- 1:40:29Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.
- 1:40:30Speaker 4: Maybe it's some sort of American, like the rest of
- 1:40:32Speaker 4: the world likes this, but we're we're we're better than
- 1:40:35Speaker 4: that sort of thing.
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe it's the same thing with the
- 1:40:38Speaker 2: metric system.
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: Hey, listen, you can you can joke all you want
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: about the metric system. When I was in grade school,
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: so this would have been Andrew's a long time ago. Okay,
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: So when I was in grade school, I think, I
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: want to say, I know I remember this being when
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: I was an our Lady of Fatima, so great grade
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: school element like probably seventh grade. Maybe there was a
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: big push in our country to go metric. Yeah, and
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: the push back was even bigger. But there was a
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: time that we were actually having to do a lot
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: of stuff in class with the metric system.
- 1:41:13Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean everything in science if you look at
- 1:41:16Speaker 4: like right any men, any medicine is and milli leaders
- 1:41:19Speaker 4: or you.
- 1:41:19Speaker 1: Know, right, absolutely, all those things come, all those things
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: come into play. Yeah, there was a big push for that,
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: and I mean I remember there were some things you
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: could do with with it, like you know, like the
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: the degrees. Yeah, fahrenheit it's it's celsius double the number
- 1:41:34Speaker 1: and a thirty and you get kind of right in there.
- 1:41:36Speaker 1: That's how I cheated when I was hardly a.
- 1:41:38Speaker 4: Fantoma, and that as someone who lives with another person
- 1:41:42Speaker 4: from another country, I get I get a lot of
- 1:41:45Speaker 4: why do you guys use this random ass system?
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: We can get back to that in a second, because
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: we just had the starting center on the super pollow
- 1:41:53Speaker 1: champion Seattle Seahawks. I was going sit down, Jalnsendel, How
- 1:41:57Speaker 1: are you man good? Yeah, I'm good man good. I
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: appreciate you coming in here after How are OTA's treating
- 1:42:02Speaker 1: you guys? Been good?
- 1:42:04Speaker 8: Yeah, we've been getting after it. It's been nice and
- 1:42:06Speaker 8: cool for the most part. So yeah, good weather for
- 1:42:09Speaker 8: a line. Let me go, let me go back years
- 1:42:11Speaker 8: a year ago. You were you're coming into your second year.
- 1:42:14Speaker 1: You were playing some guard, a little bit of center, uh,
- 1:42:18Speaker 1: and you had a buddy next to you that was
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: a first round pick named Grey's Abel, and you kind
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: of live in the dream. Could you ever fathom sharing
- 1:42:25Speaker 1: that with him? What happens in Santa Clara?
- 1:42:29Speaker 8: Yeah, just just beyond our wildest dreams. You know, we
- 1:42:33Speaker 8: played a lot of ball next to each other in
- 1:42:35Speaker 8: college and then you know, it all kind of coming
- 1:42:38Speaker 8: first full circle in the big game, super exciting, super fun. Uh,
- 1:42:43Speaker 8: such a special moment that you know, we'll we'll share forever.
- 1:42:47Speaker 1: Have you gone back and watched the game at all? Like,
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: how do you how do you enjoy that? Like, how
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: do you enjoy Like there's gonna be a ring you
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: can look out here in the lobby. I'm sure probably
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: somewhere else there's a Lombardi Trophy and all that. How
- 1:43:00Speaker 1: does a player a few months later, like just take
- 1:43:03Speaker 1: it all in and maybe kind of put in perspective.
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: Do you rewatch it or how does that work? Yeah?
- 1:43:07Speaker 8: I mean I watched it, you know, I think I
- 1:43:10Speaker 8: think I had a couple of days go by before
- 1:43:13Speaker 8: I watched it. But you know, just just spending time
- 1:43:17Speaker 8: with the you know, your your close friends and family
- 1:43:21Speaker 8: is really the biggest reward. And being able to do that,
- 1:43:24Speaker 8: you know, and knowing that you you finished the job,
- 1:43:26Speaker 8: and being able to take that with you for the
- 1:43:29Speaker 8: next couple of months before you know, the next season
- 1:43:31Speaker 8: really starts. Yeah, it was super exciting and fun to
- 1:43:36Speaker 8: share with with family and friends.
- 1:43:38Speaker 1: Jaylenson Dell with us I mentioned starting center the Super
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: Bowl team guards are are the tackles under contract. Gray's
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: there we'll see Bradford still the number one guy at
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: the right guard. I mean in theory, you return all
- 1:43:49Speaker 1: five guys and you return an offensive line. Coach and
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: John Benton, what kind of advantages that give you guys
- 1:43:54Speaker 1: going into OTA's mini camp, training camp into the season
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: to have that continuity, which I here is the most
- 1:44:00Speaker 1: important thing for an offensive line.
- 1:44:03Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it makes our jobs a little bit easier,
- 1:44:07Speaker 8: you know, being able to you know, have a lot
- 1:44:09Speaker 8: of the same communication and being able to to kind
- 1:44:13Speaker 8: of get a jump start on the on the play,
- 1:44:15Speaker 8: and you know, being able to have things that we
- 1:44:19Speaker 8: can look back on that we've done before together and
- 1:44:22Speaker 8: being able to recap you know, that moment and time
- 1:44:26Speaker 8: and being able to use that moving forward. There's a
- 1:44:29Speaker 8: lot of little things, you know, playing next to each
- 1:44:32Speaker 8: other that you know, you kind of get used to,
- 1:44:35Speaker 8: you know, with the with the footing you know between
- 1:44:38Speaker 8: us and keeping that space, and there's a lot of
- 1:44:41Speaker 8: little things that are are kind of subconscious things that
- 1:44:45Speaker 8: you know you get used to playing next to your guys,
- 1:44:47Speaker 8: So you know, it makes it easy to come back and.
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: And have a jal is adel with us. You you
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: have a new offensive coordinator though, how similar is it?
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: He comes from the same system and there's all the
- 1:44:57Speaker 1: terms of all those things. How similar? And then how
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: different is the new offense under Brian Fleury. Yeah, it's
- 1:45:03Speaker 1: been very similar. I mean we have, you know, different
- 1:45:07Speaker 1: names for things, but you know, and they're really the
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: same thing, the same technique, a lot of the same technique.
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: You know, some some things we're tweaking and trying to
- 1:45:17Speaker 1: get better and doing doing some different things, but a
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: lot of it is the same stuff. The the the
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: great line from your coach, we don't care last year
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: was used and it's I saw about this earlier just
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: kind of watching practice. We had Elijah Royal came in
- 1:45:35Speaker 1: yesterday and we talked to him. The big news in
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: the NFL Miles Garrett going to the Rams, right, and
- 1:45:40Speaker 1: like we got fans going, oh my gosh, this, this
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: and this, and I wonder what the Seahawk players are thinking.
- 1:45:44Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, who's a Detroit head coach who you know,
- 1:45:47Speaker 1: he was out there today and he kind of was
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: joking like, oh, I guess we should just hand the
- 1:45:50Speaker 1: trophy over. No one should play, and all those types
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: of things. When big moves like that, though, were made around,
- 1:45:55Speaker 1: like in your division specifically, how much have you guys
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: an offensive line talked about the best pass rusher in
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: the NFL coming in the division or do you go
- 1:46:02Speaker 1: with the Mike McDonald, Hey, we don't care. Let's just
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: do our own thing.
- 1:46:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:46:07Speaker 8: I mean that that ideology stop starts from from the top,
- 1:46:10Speaker 8: and you know it, it trickles down into the players.
- 1:46:13Speaker 8: So you know, I think that that we don't care
- 1:46:16Speaker 8: line really uh gives a good overview of and kind
- 1:46:21Speaker 8: of wraps up the idea of that. You know, we're
- 1:46:23Speaker 8: gonna focus on our day to day process and getting
- 1:46:26Speaker 8: better and the outcome and whatever else other teams are doing,
- 1:46:32Speaker 8: we could care less. Uh, you know, it's about us
- 1:46:34Speaker 8: getting better, And you know that that kind of wraps
- 1:46:39Speaker 8: that all up into into one line, that that we
- 1:46:41Speaker 8: we don't care. You could tell us what another team
- 1:46:43Speaker 8: is doing, we don't care. You can tell us we're
- 1:46:46Speaker 8: gonna win or lose a game, we don't care. Uh,
- 1:46:48Speaker 8: tell us what the score is, we don't care. We're
- 1:46:50Speaker 8: gonna just keep doing what we can do to to
- 1:46:52Speaker 8: win the moment.
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: That's what I mean that I've said that before. I
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: think it's I think fans and media probably look at
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: that stuff more than you guys are worried about was
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: onside your building, which is probably why one of the
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: big reasons why you won a Super Bowl last season.
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: Wakas tell us about Mike McDonald and what he's like.
- 1:47:08Speaker 1: We just we enjoyed about that. We don't care. When
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: I remember when he came in. He sat in this room,
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: this little room here the day he got hired, and
- 1:47:14Speaker 1: they introduced him, and I was like, man, this dude
- 1:47:16Speaker 1: as serious as a day is long. He is all
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: about ball, he is like and he's kind of what
- 1:47:21Speaker 1: maybe this organization at the time needed in some ways too.
- 1:47:24Speaker 1: But he came in and a just a very impressive
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: guy for us dealing with him, and we've kind of
- 1:47:28Speaker 1: watched him open up a little bit in some of
- 1:47:30Speaker 1: the media news conferences and so forth. What is Mike
- 1:47:32Speaker 1: McDonald like as a player?
- 1:47:35Speaker 8: Yeah, he's great. You know, he's wicked smart, and you know,
- 1:47:40Speaker 8: at the same time, he gets along well with the guys.
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: And the offensive guys for sure, Yeah, for sure.
- 1:47:46Speaker 8: Yeah, No, he I mean he sets the direction of
- 1:47:51Speaker 8: where we're going, and he does a great job of
- 1:47:53Speaker 8: being our leader and pointing us in the right direction
- 1:47:56Speaker 8: and everybody is on board with us. So yeah, he
- 1:47:59Speaker 8: does a great job.
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: Is there different this year coming off the Super Bowl?
- 1:48:02Speaker 1: Is there anything different? I know you guys again, we
- 1:48:05Speaker 1: don't care about but is there anything different? You're one
- 1:48:08Speaker 1: year ago, you were a team that didn't make the playoffs.
- 1:48:10Speaker 1: You missed by literally a whisker a half a game.
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: You have the same record as a tiebreaker, but you're
- 1:48:14Speaker 1: right on the cusp. A year later, you're the super
- 1:48:17Speaker 1: Bowl champions. You're the hunted. You're the team everyone's looking
- 1:48:19Speaker 1: for look looking to, although maybe people look down to La.
- 1:48:21Speaker 1: But how much different is it at all in terms
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: of how Mike and you as a team approach things.
- 1:48:29Speaker 8: I mean, we have different faces, but it's it's the same.
- 1:48:34Speaker 8: I mean, we're gonna work on our process and it
- 1:48:37Speaker 8: sounds good.
- 1:48:37Speaker 5: It is.
- 1:48:38Speaker 8: We don't care that, Yeah it is. I mean it's
- 1:48:40Speaker 8: like you're starting over. Yeah, I mean it doesn't really matter.
- 1:48:43Speaker 8: I guess we're just gonna keep getting better and working
- 1:48:46Speaker 8: on the things that we can control day to day.
- 1:48:48Speaker 1: All right, before I let you go, you got hard
- 1:48:50Speaker 1: knocks coming here this year. I know we don't care
- 1:48:53Speaker 1: about that either. I'm gonna ask you, though, just for
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: our fans, who are the star is going to be?
- 1:48:58Speaker 1: And I'm gonna throw some names at you. A lot
- 1:48:59Speaker 1: of people say Witherspoon if they put a mic on him,
- 1:49:01Speaker 1: because he chirps a lot. I think Derek Hall talks
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: a little bit, right, I'm gonna throw one at you.
- 1:49:06Speaker 1: He thinks he's an offensive lineman sometimes is a J barner?
- 1:49:09Speaker 1: Can that guy be a star?
- 1:49:10Speaker 3: For real?
- 1:49:10Speaker 8: Hard Knocks definitely will be a star. Definitely will be
- 1:49:12Speaker 8: a lot of screen time for him, hopefully a less
- 1:49:15Speaker 8: of screen time for the whole line.
- 1:49:16Speaker 1: So you guys don't want that. You want no part
- 1:49:19Speaker 1: of that stuff, right, it's like offensive linean like to
- 1:49:22Speaker 1: just kind of like even just get an interview with you,
- 1:49:23Speaker 1: appreciate you coming in. You're like, you guys just want
- 1:49:25Speaker 1: to do your thing, hang out with the five of you,
- 1:49:27Speaker 1: and away you go. I bring up him because I know,
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: like a cracking game, he was there with a bunch
- 1:49:31Speaker 1: of you guys, like he kind of wants to be
- 1:49:32Speaker 1: like an offensive line. That's how tight ends are, right,
- 1:49:34Speaker 1: like kind of give me a skill, guy, But I
- 1:49:36Speaker 1: want to be a tight I want to be an
- 1:49:38Speaker 1: offensive lineman. But that's the guy I think that's gonna
- 1:49:41Speaker 1: be if they put a mic on him, I think
- 1:49:43Speaker 1: he's gonna have some fun. I think he would be
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: a star. And you're already seeing him develop as a
- 1:49:47Speaker 1: player and become a star as well.
- 1:49:48Speaker 8: Yeah for sure.
- 1:49:49Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, North Dakota State, your guy, Gray is Abel.
- 1:49:53Speaker 1: I gotta ask you this because my kids just finished
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: college football, small college offensive lineman, and the there's a
- 1:50:00Speaker 1: thing that those guys all had, this bush light apple. Now,
- 1:50:05Speaker 1: are you a bush light guy like Gray? First of all, No, No,
- 1:50:08Speaker 1: so you don't worry about that stuff. No, that's just
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: the bush light, better taste, is what you're saying.
- 1:50:14Speaker 8: Yeah, I'll take something other than a bush light pretty much,
- 1:50:18Speaker 8: anything other.
- 1:50:18Speaker 1: My respect for you just went through the roof. Well done.
- 1:50:21Speaker 1: So yeah, so it's let the other guys. Let those
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: other guys, small college guys are the first round pick
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: z able to let him deal with that stuff. Then, yeah,
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: he can have all the bush light he wants. I
- 1:50:29Speaker 1: love that. I love that. Jill, great to have you
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: in here. Congratulations and success. One of the better stories

- 1:51:45Speaker 13: Yeah, all of them were just panicking, Uh, what are
- 1:51:49Speaker 13: we going to do if we have to buy Super
- 1:51:51Speaker 13: Bowl tickets.

- 1:52:02Speaker 2: I can tell you looks that up because I'm gonna

- 1:52:05Speaker 3: Here, by the way.
- 1:52:06Speaker 1: So they were so they were the whole group.
- 1:52:09Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole group. They were off.
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: February FETN six, February January twenty fifth. What's the question,
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: January twenty fifth. Yeah, January twenty fifth is the answer.
- 1:52:18Speaker 2: Are you listening, by the way, No, No, my furious
- 1:52:22Speaker 2: felt is Is that a typical things?
- 1:52:24Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got Furious Felts roles in there at this time.
- 1:52:27Speaker 1: And they do their own version of cross talk, right,
- 1:52:30Speaker 1: that's what happened.
- 1:52:31Speaker 2: They talk about the World Cup, they talk soccer's.
- 1:52:33Speaker 1: It's it's producer, it's producer cross talk.
- 1:52:36Speaker 2: We can't talk about on the airs. They don't give you,
- 1:52:37Speaker 2: damn what the hell's going on?
- 1:52:38Speaker 1: No, you know what I think they do. I think
- 1:52:39Speaker 1: they complain about the hosts they work with.
- 1:52:41Speaker 13: I would do another part of this. I mean, it
- 1:52:44Speaker 13: really is an age old tradition. I did the same
- 1:52:46Speaker 13: thing back when I was a producer. That's what you
- 1:52:48Speaker 13: do Concenter and complaining about New York Vintie and Kevin
- 1:52:50Speaker 13: Wall and all those guys and all sports there you go,
- 1:52:53Speaker 13: I guess.
- 1:52:54Speaker 2: To know whatever, but yeah, they were. They were great
- 1:52:57Speaker 2: people to hang out with, man, really really fun, very
- 1:53:00Speaker 2: very cool. And uh yeah, I don't know. I don't
- 1:53:04Speaker 2: know where this story is going.
- 1:53:06Speaker 1: Ill that I.
- 1:53:08Speaker 2: Partied with Mama Sundell and Mama's Abel before the game.
- 1:53:10Speaker 2: That's it I learned.
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: I learned this from Jalen Sidelo. Unlike Gray's Abel, Jalen
- 1:53:15Speaker 1: sidel is not a fan of bush Light. He's got
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: better taste.
- 1:53:17Speaker 2: Ah got you?
- 1:53:18Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, that's a that's the same.
- 1:53:20Speaker 2: One you getting hooked up with Georgetown sounds like an endorsement.
- 1:53:24Speaker 1: Well, because the GM's already got that sponsorship out here. Okay,
- 1:53:28Speaker 1: that's that's a John Schneider exclusives the Georgetown. Really he
- 1:53:31Speaker 1: really does need to start doing some commercials, does he
- 1:53:34Speaker 1: not for Georgetown? Yea, bro, Bro, you like a man,
- 1:53:38Speaker 1: he's you know what, you want to build a Super
- 1:53:40Speaker 1: Bowl champion? Brother.
- 1:53:41Speaker 2: I don't know what he's doing. A man, he needs
- 1:53:43Speaker 2: to be doing some commercials.
- 1:53:45Speaker 4: Man. And I read this text Quinn in the two
- 1:53:47Speaker 4: five three says, I do thoroughly enjoy when Ian has
- 1:53:49Speaker 4: to go from grab ass reading text to interviewing Jalen Sundell,
- 1:53:52Speaker 4: Like instantly, pro's pro as they say, yeah.
- 1:53:54Speaker 13: Well but why why would you not continue the grab
- 1:53:57Speaker 13: ass with him? I mean, he seems like a grad
- 1:54:00Speaker 13: maass kind of guy.
- 1:54:00Speaker 1: He's he's a little he's not he's not He's different
- 1:54:03Speaker 1: than Zabel for sure, for.
- 1:54:05Speaker 2: Sure, but you he's kind of you can do a
- 1:54:07Speaker 2: little grab ass with him. He did not care in him.
- 1:54:10Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's he's kind of a he's serious offense.
- 1:54:14Speaker 1: The whole offensive line is they're serious, except for Zabel.
- 1:54:17Speaker 1: Zabel's a little bit different. He's I think Zabel is
- 1:54:19Speaker 1: going to be the guy that's kind.
- 1:54:20Speaker 8: Of a little more.
- 1:54:21Speaker 2: Abe's kind of that way too, a little bit right.
- 1:54:23Speaker 1: Abe, Abe is serious, Cross is serious.
- 1:54:26Speaker 13: Abe's all serious now. When a when Abe first showed
- 1:54:29Speaker 13: up here, and now he's like mister professional and you
- 1:54:31Speaker 13: know professional the meetings on time and all that crap
- 1:54:35Speaker 13: and everything whatever.
- 1:54:36Speaker 1: So it was funny when I asked the Sundelo about
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, He's like, yeah, whatever, Like just you know,
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: I think I truly believe that that's one of those
- 1:54:45Speaker 1: things that you know, these guys live in a cocoon.
- 1:54:47Speaker 1: They don't care like it's we'll worry about that week.
- 1:54:49Speaker 2: Shifting totally, totally right. Yeah, you know, if you ask
- 1:54:52Speaker 2: Abe Lucas about Nick Bosa, you might you.
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: Know, have a different Actually I was talking kind.
- 1:54:58Speaker 2: Of worked out though. Man, he won the championship on
- 1:55:00Speaker 2: his field.
- 1:55:00Speaker 13: If you were told a blue because right, here's the deal, dude,
- 1:55:02Speaker 13: first game of the year, you're giving up a sack
- 1:55:05Speaker 13: to Bosa to lose the game, to lose the game.
- 1:55:08Speaker 2: But but you can win the Super Bowl on his
- 1:55:12Speaker 2: home field. I'll take that trade.
- 1:55:13Speaker 1: Do you sign up? Take that trade? All day and
- 1:55:15Speaker 1: every year?
- 1:55:16Speaker 2: You sign up for that?
- 1:55:17Speaker 5: Hey?
- 1:55:17Speaker 2: But I think he says yes.
- 1:55:19Speaker 1: Because you know why one guy has a ring on
- 1:55:21Speaker 1: his finger and the other guy his team has it
- 1:55:24Speaker 1: won since Jerry Rice was playing.
- 1:55:25Speaker 2: Well, it is funny, that is true, by the way,
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: ninety four, Andrews, what year were you born? By the way,
- 1:55:30Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven, So you have never seen the Niners
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: win a championship in your lifetime?
- 1:55:34Speaker 1: Have Literally that's actually a great thing.
- 1:55:36Speaker 13: It's like it's like me and Dick with the next
- 1:55:38Speaker 13: I mean, Ian's older than us by a long ways,
- 1:55:42Speaker 13: by the way ways.
- 1:55:43Speaker 2: It's like me and Dick.
- 1:55:44Speaker 13: Neither Dick or I have ever been alive for a
- 1:55:47Speaker 13: New York Next Championship ninety four ever?
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: Yeah, winning seventy three, Yeah, seventy three. They won it
- 1:55:55Speaker 2: two months before I was born.
- 1:55:58Speaker 5: I was, I was.
- 1:56:00Speaker 1: I was in the second grade.
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Oh wow? What was the date of the
- 1:56:05Speaker 2: NFC Championship?
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: Again?
- 1:56:06Speaker 2: I told, okay, because I'm trying to find this. Oh,
