- 1:21Speaker 4: That will slide right into a conversation with Brady Cannon
- 1:25Speaker 4: about the PGA Championship, which goes down on Thursday through Sunday.
- 1:31Speaker 4: We also will have our Green Jacket draft to preview
- 1:34Speaker 4: the PGA Championship today as well, and we can certainly
- 1:38Speaker 4: start there with our headlines brought to you by Frost Brewed,
- 1:41Speaker 4: Corse Light Choose Chill. We're on the eve of the
- 1:44Speaker 4: PGA Championship where man certainly seems like there's an awful
- 1:49Speaker 4: lot of talk about Cameron Young's red hot play heading
- 1:52Speaker 4: into this tournament and now Rory McElroy's blister heading into
- 1:57Speaker 4: this tournament.
- 1:58Speaker 6: Can't have a blister and expect to play golf?
- 2:00Speaker 4: Right?
- 2:00Speaker 1: Is?
- 2:01Speaker 4: Honestly, how much does that it's a blister on his foot?
- 2:04Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 2:05Speaker 6: I would think, I mean, I don't.
- 2:08Speaker 1: I guess the part of the problem is, right because
- 2:09Speaker 1: these guys are so fine tuned that anything that feels
- 2:12Speaker 1: off feels off. But at the same time, there's so
- 2:14Speaker 1: mentally strong that I would think you could put a
- 2:17Speaker 1: blister patch on it.
- 2:19Speaker 4: I would think that wouldn't be a hindrance. But man,
- 2:22Speaker 4: they were making a big deal out of it this morning.
- 2:24Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I also think they like to make a big deal
- 2:25Speaker 1: out of things because they're looking for more stories. And
- 2:27Speaker 1: oh look, Rory Persevered made it through the blister.
- 2:30Speaker 4: I mean you don't even run in the sport like
- 2:33Speaker 4: I mean, I could see why it would just keep
- 2:35Speaker 4: rubbing you. But you don't run in.
- 2:36Speaker 1: This sport, right, But you will walk about six or
- 2:38Speaker 1: seven miles by the end of one day. So by
- 2:42Speaker 1: the end of the weekend, you're you've walked twenty eight
- 2:44Speaker 1: miles with a blister. I mean, you're gonna have to
- 2:46Speaker 1: change that blister patch quite frequently, but I would think
- 2:50Speaker 1: you'd be okay.
- 2:50Speaker 4: Yeah, Twisted Blister.
- 2:53Speaker 6: That's a great band.
- 2:54Speaker 4: Yeah, that was my band in college. We did some
- 2:57Speaker 4: covers and whatnot, some pair metal covers. Yeah, we all
- 3:00Speaker 4: had wonderful mullets. So yes, PGA Championship gets started tomorrow.
- 3:06Speaker 4: It will also feature Derek Berg this.
- 3:08Speaker 6: Year will with MW Golf Academy.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Zones, which we'll certainly discuss him a little bit later
- 3:15Speaker 4: on in the week. Let's get to your other headlines.
- 3:19Speaker 4: It's also preaked this week, so second racing of the
- 3:23Speaker 4: three big races takes place this Saturday. Golden Tempo is
- 3:26Speaker 4: not going to participate though, so the Kentucky Derby winner
- 3:30Speaker 4: not going for the Triple Crown, which just doesn't make
- 3:32Speaker 4: any sense. Also, it's NFL schedule release week. We now
- 3:38Speaker 4: know all of the International Games. I'm not going to
- 3:41Speaker 4: go through them in the headlines, but I will at
- 3:44Speaker 4: seven thirty today and that's going to spin into a
- 3:47Speaker 4: reckless at breakfast at seven forty five. So we're not
- 3:50Speaker 4: ignoring this big story. It's just I don't have time
- 3:54Speaker 4: to go through it all in headlines. But the International
- 3:57Speaker 4: Games have been released this morning. We now know all
- 4:01Speaker 4: the games, all the participants in that. Tomorrow the entire
- 4:04Speaker 4: schedule will be revealed. So certainly a big topic of
- 4:08Speaker 4: conversation here at KJAR on Thursday and on Friday. NBA
- 4:13Speaker 4: playoffs Last night San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves
- 4:18Speaker 4: played a rather odd game. Wimby just came out like.
- 4:21Speaker 5: A storm, like a seven foot five inches all arms
- 4:25Speaker 5: and legs, skinny tornado, and was just dominating early and
- 4:30Speaker 5: you thought the Spurs were gonna roll to a victory,
- 4:32Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, the Timberwolves closed the gap,
- 4:35Speaker 5: tied things up in the third quarter, and then somehow
- 4:38Speaker 5: San Antonio ends up winning the game by twenty nine points.
- 4:41Speaker 4: So they end up with a blowout after all. So
- 4:44Speaker 4: San Antonio is up three games to two on Minnesota
- 4:48Speaker 4: in that series, and it looks like they're on a
- 4:50Speaker 4: collision course with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Meanwhile, the New
- 4:53Speaker 4: York Knicks wait for the winner of Detroit and Cleveland.
- 4:56Speaker 4: That series is even at two games apiece. Game five
- 4:59Speaker 4: tonight and the Oders City five o'clock start between the
- 5:02Speaker 4: Pistons and the Cavs Stanley Cup Playoffs. Last night, Las
- 5:06Speaker 4: Vegas went up three to two in their series with Anaheim,
- 5:10Speaker 4: and Buffalo even things with Montreal at two games apiece tonight.
- 5:15Speaker 4: The Colorado Avalanche can take on take out, I should say,
- 5:18Speaker 4: I know they're going to take on the Minnesota Wild,
- 5:21Speaker 4: but they can take them out of the playoffs. They
- 5:23Speaker 4: can send them fishing tonight with a victory, and something
- 5:26Speaker 4: tells me that's exactly what they are going to do.
- 5:30Speaker 4: And from Major League Baseball, the Mariners do get a
- 5:33Speaker 4: win yesterday over the Houston Astros. You heard the highlight
- 5:37Speaker 4: from Mariners TV, Aaron Goldsmith on the call. Cal Rawley
- 5:41Speaker 4: got a walk and two hits last night, so his
- 5:44Speaker 4: hitless streak ended at thirty six at bats thirty eight,
- 5:49Speaker 4: thirty eight. That's right, he went into thirty He went
- 5:51Speaker 4: into it, yeah, thirty eight at bats. So as hitler
- 5:54Speaker 4: streak ended at thirty eight plate appearances, I guess, and
- 5:59Speaker 4: he then gets the earth no over thirty eight. That's
- 6:01Speaker 4: what he was over thirty eight. But he got a
- 6:03Speaker 4: walk last night and he got a couple of hits,
- 6:05Speaker 4: and so the skid finally comes to an end.
- 6:08Speaker 6: Thank goodness.
- 6:09Speaker 4: And I've almost said more importantly, I'm not sure if
- 6:11Speaker 4: it is more important that we gotta win. I think
- 6:13Speaker 4: it is more important to.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Get more important, But it shows you him getting hot
- 6:18Speaker 1: coincides with us getting wins.
- 6:20Speaker 4: Maybe maybe Don Canzone hit a grand slam, knocked in five.
- 6:23Speaker 4: Randy A. Rose Arenas on fire right now, was four
- 6:26Speaker 4: for four with a home run, four runs scored, three
- 6:29Speaker 4: runs batted in, his batting average up over three hundred
- 6:32Speaker 4: on the season by far and away, leading the team
- 6:35Speaker 4: ten two to the final score. Brian wu after a
- 6:38Speaker 4: bit of a shaky start, settled in after he got
- 6:41Speaker 4: run support, and the Mariners cruise. They don't often cruise
- 6:44Speaker 4: to victories, but they did last night ten to two
- 6:47Speaker 4: over the Astros, and with a win tonight, it will
- 6:50Speaker 4: be a five hundred record for the Mariners. They'll be
- 6:54Speaker 4: back at the five hundred market twenty two and twenty two.
- 6:56Speaker 4: Not a great accomplishment.
- 6:58Speaker 1: I get that there's no moment of their Mariners don't
- 7:01Speaker 1: run away from it.
- 7:02Speaker 4: Bryce Miller finally starts a game tonight at five ten,
- 7:05Speaker 4: and he'll go up against Lance mccullors junior, who in
- 7:08Speaker 4: the past has tormented the Mariners. But with all the
- 7:11Speaker 4: injuries that he suffered, all the rehab he's done over
- 7:14Speaker 4: the years, he just doesn't seem like the same pitcher anymore.
- 7:17Speaker 4: So this should be a pretty good situation for the
- 7:22Speaker 4: MS tonight starting at five ten. All right, that's a
- 7:25Speaker 4: long list of headlines for you. Let's talk about cal Raleigh.
- 7:30Speaker 4: He got the hits that we were looking for. Oh
- 7:33Speaker 4: for thirty eight. Slump comes to an end. Man. We
- 7:37Speaker 4: were prepared to go to all sorts of lengths to
- 7:40Speaker 4: try and fix cal Raley here today, but maybe we
- 7:44Speaker 4: won't have to do that. We actually have about what
- 7:48Speaker 4: twelve experts that are going to weigh in on this
- 7:51Speaker 4: coming up today at nine to thirty. But yesterday we
- 7:55Speaker 4: had our weekly expert, former Mariner Ryan Healey now part
- 7:58Speaker 4: of the Mariners television broadcast, and he's been our friend
- 8:03Speaker 4: for well over a year. He's been Ashley's friend since
- 8:06Speaker 4: they were children.
- 8:07Speaker 1: No, since he was a teenager and I was not. Oh,
- 8:11Speaker 1: I was a camp counselor he was a camper.
- 8:13Speaker 4: Okay, got it, got it. But Ryan was on with
- 8:16Speaker 4: us yesterday and he was well prepared to discuss how
- 8:21Speaker 4: to fix Cal Raleigh. And even though Cal got a
- 8:24Speaker 4: couple of hits last night, I think it's interesting to
- 8:27Speaker 4: hear this morning, in case you missed it, Ryan's thoughts
- 8:30Speaker 4: on the matter.
- 8:31Speaker 7: This is one of the best players in the world
- 8:33Speaker 7: that is struggling beyond belief and it's still showing up.
- 8:37Speaker 7: It's still working hard, it's still finding that motivation to
- 8:40Speaker 7: just show up for the Marriagers because this is bigger
- 8:42Speaker 7: than Cal Raley, and he knows that. But this is
- 8:44Speaker 7: also a great human example of how hard this game is.
- 8:48Speaker 7: No matter how much success that each individual has throughout
- 8:51Speaker 7: the course of their career, everyone is going to have
- 8:53Speaker 7: this type of moment. And Cal has confirmed this multiple times.
- 8:57Speaker 7: As a quote, it says, for me, it's more mental
- 9:00Speaker 7: side then it's trying to physically change something. I'm trying
- 9:02Speaker 7: to battle and compete and not worry about the rest
- 9:04Speaker 7: of this stuff and try to get back to being
- 9:06Speaker 7: more process oriented. But let's talk about what that process
- 9:10Speaker 7: looks like, Chuck, from a hitter's perspective. Right, step one,
- 9:14Speaker 7: go through your routines that you do all day long,
- 9:16Speaker 7: from the moment you wake up to the moment you
- 9:18Speaker 7: step in the batter's box. Cal's doing that and having
- 9:21Speaker 7: control over the controller balls and doing those things well.
- 9:24Speaker 7: But baseball's are funny sport, Chuck, because the minute you
- 9:27Speaker 7: step in the batter's box, you have an opportunity to
- 9:29Speaker 7: strike out, and you have an opportunity to hit a
- 9:31Speaker 7: home run, which one of those two things happens more often.
- 9:34Speaker 7: Just for a baseball player striking out, you're gonna strike out.
- 9:37Speaker 7: Cal hit sixty home runs last year and still struck
- 9:40Speaker 7: out one hundred and fifty plus time, so that the
- 9:42Speaker 7: three almost four x of the time he was punching
- 9:45Speaker 7: out more than he was hitting a home run career year. Now,
- 9:47Speaker 7: think about cal season so far this year. It's been
- 9:50Speaker 7: a roller coaster. You know, the world baseball class that
- 9:53Speaker 7: didn't get a lot of bats crammed it in really
- 9:55Speaker 7: struggle the first ten games, then found himself looked really good.
- 9:59Speaker 7: Then the side in happens.
- 10:00Speaker 6: Oh, no setback step one in.
- 10:04Speaker 7: Cal's process, and I would say ninety plus percent of
- 10:07Speaker 7: hitters process when you step in that game, batter's boxes
- 10:09Speaker 7: get on time for the fastball.
- 10:11Speaker 4: Correct. Yes, If we.
- 10:12Speaker 7: Can get on time with the fastball as a hitter,
- 10:14Speaker 7: then I can go to step two of the process,
- 10:16Speaker 7: which is now compete to what secondary pitchers in the zone.
- 10:19Speaker 7: How many times have you seen Kyl Rowley be on
- 10:21Speaker 7: time for a fastball this year early in account.
- 10:24Speaker 4: Very rarely so.
- 10:25Speaker 7: When step one of your process gets punched in the mouth,
- 10:29Speaker 7: guess what every other step back for that means? Chaos, pandemonium.
- 10:33Speaker 7: Your brain is spinning, you have no idea what to do.
- 10:36Speaker 7: You're trying to repeat step step one of the process
- 10:38Speaker 7: over and over again. But now the pitcher's not throwing
- 10:40Speaker 7: you fastballs. And then he does throw you fastball, but
- 10:42Speaker 7: it's above the zone.
- 10:43Speaker 4: You chase it.
- 10:44Speaker 7: And if you notice, the league is pitching Cal completely
- 10:47Speaker 7: different this year than they did last year. Cal got
- 10:50Speaker 7: on top of the plate last year on both sides
- 10:52Speaker 7: of the dish, righty and left tended hitters to take
- 10:55Speaker 7: that middleway fastball and make it feel more middle end
- 10:57Speaker 7: so he can actually do damage in the air pull side. Okay, great,
- 11:00Speaker 7: they worked for him tremendously, but the league figured that out.
- 11:03Speaker 7: So all these OO fastballs where you seeing these pictures,
- 11:06Speaker 7: throw it up and end. Yeah, they're up and end.
- 11:09Speaker 6: They're trying to speed them up.
- 11:10Speaker 7: And if they can visually and physically speed them up
- 11:12Speaker 7: in the OHO count the rest of it, they can
- 11:14Speaker 7: throw it everythy want because they know he's off balance
- 11:16Speaker 7: at that point.
- 11:17Speaker 4: Ryan Healley yesterday with us, we were going to play
- 11:21Speaker 4: the entire breakdown for you, but now Cal has a
- 11:24Speaker 4: couple of hits. So if you do want to hear
- 11:27Speaker 4: the entire Ryan Healey explanation, the conversation was at nine
- 11:31Speaker 4: o'clock on yesterday's show. We have them Tuesdays at nine
- 11:33Speaker 4: o'clock every week, and it's a pretty thorough interview mostly
- 11:39Speaker 4: about Cal Raley yesterday, and and look, I mean, it's
- 11:44Speaker 4: such a crazy sport, there's no doubt. I mean, it's
- 11:48Speaker 4: different than anything else that's out there. And this is
- 11:54Speaker 4: I remember talking to Kevin Sitzer last season, hitting coach
- 11:59Speaker 4: it was so good to see him on the top step, like, yeah,
- 12:02Speaker 4: so excited that col just got a hit, just got it.
- 12:04Speaker 4: Just such relief from him as mom, and the smiles
- 12:08Speaker 4: on everybody's face. And so it's a grind. It's one
- 12:10Speaker 4: of those sports you can go, you know, you can
- 12:13Speaker 4: go a week and a half without doing your job,
- 12:15Speaker 4: and people understand it's really hard, right right, It's like
- 12:23Speaker 4: the only sport that I mean, if if JSN went
- 12:28Speaker 4: two games and dropped every single pass, we were like,
- 12:33Speaker 4: what on earth? That would be like an alien landing
- 12:38Speaker 4: in the on the fifty yard line. We'd be wondering,
- 12:40Speaker 4: what on earth is happening? In base Yeah, in baseball,
- 12:44Speaker 4: people just laugh, Uh you know, oh get you went
- 12:47Speaker 4: through it, didn't you, buddy? Oh that shower last night
- 12:50Speaker 4: in your uniform got the trick done. We knew it
- 12:52Speaker 4: would magic, magic, but it is. I mean, it's such
- 12:57Speaker 4: a crazy sport from that standpoint that Kevin Sitzer told me,
- 13:03Speaker 4: Yes last year, I said, what has been the key
- 13:05Speaker 4: to unlocking it? And he pointed to one thing. If
- 13:08Speaker 4: you remember, he said, I gotta give credit to Edgar Martinez.
- 13:13Speaker 4: Edgar Martinez came in there and he had a he
- 13:16Speaker 4: had he put the ball on a tee and what
- 13:19Speaker 4: he did was he just had Cal try to hit
- 13:22Speaker 4: fly ball. He wanted to hit him off the tee
- 13:24Speaker 4: and he wanted to hit the top of the cage.
- 13:26Speaker 4: And the idea was we wanted him to get the
- 13:29Speaker 4: ball in the air, and that little tool, that little
- 13:34Speaker 4: practice that we did seemed to really click with Cal.
- 13:38Speaker 4: And since that time getting the ball in the air,
- 13:41Speaker 4: well you've seen what it's done, right.
- 13:43Speaker 1: I just want to say point out that our YouTube
- 13:45Speaker 1: listeners are getting a real treat because they've never seen
- 13:48Speaker 1: you do the Kevin Sitzer impression before. And there's something
- 13:52Speaker 1: about the visual with the audio that really makes it special.
- 13:56Speaker 6: And I hope they just enjoyed that moment. Uh yeah, Yeah.
- 14:02Speaker 4: Hitting's like a row boat. You gotta row on both sides.
- 14:07Speaker 4: Otherwise they're just spinning in circles.
- 14:10Speaker 6: That's right, sight see right.
- 14:12Speaker 4: So that's what he said last And you know how
- 14:14Speaker 4: many times that I've come on the air this year
- 14:17Speaker 4: and wanted to say, why aren't you just doing that
- 14:20Speaker 4: drill you did with Edgar last year the tea get
- 14:23Speaker 4: out to tea and haven't hit it, But I've stopped
- 14:25Speaker 4: myself from doing it because I know they've already done that.
- 14:30Speaker 4: They've done it over and over, the same guys that
- 14:33Speaker 4: were whispering those sweet nothings into his ear last year
- 14:38Speaker 4: that led him to sixty home runs. You know, are
- 14:41Speaker 4: the same guys that are whispering in his ear this year,
- 14:45Speaker 4: and last night it was like honey, this year it's
- 14:48Speaker 4: been like acid. So far. It just, for whatever reason,
- 14:53Speaker 4: isn't coming together. And baseball is such a wicked game.
- 14:57Speaker 4: You don't know what little piece of advice or what
- 15:02Speaker 4: little suggestion of something crazy just to get out of
- 15:06Speaker 4: your own head that you ought to do. Logan told
- 15:08Speaker 4: him to go take a shower in his entire uniform.
- 15:11Speaker 4: He gave Logan credit last night for getting him out
- 15:14Speaker 4: of the slump, as.
- 15:15Speaker 6: He should have.
- 15:16Speaker 4: Not his own hard work. Nope, not Kevin Seitzer and
- 15:19Speaker 4: Edgar Martinez who helped him head at sixty home runs
- 15:22Speaker 4: last year. He said, no, my good friend, Logan, my
- 15:26Speaker 4: old roommate told me to go shower with my uniform on,
- 15:29Speaker 4: and I'm pretty sure that did the trick.
- 15:31Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure it did too, So way to listen
- 15:33Speaker 6: to Logan.
- 15:34Speaker 4: So it's just a wicked game, and you don't know
- 15:38Speaker 4: what's going to pop you out of it. And we
- 15:40Speaker 4: don't know if he's out of it completely either. I would,
- 15:43Speaker 4: so I'm not trying to put the cart before the horse.
- 15:45Speaker 4: It's two hits and a walk. But I do like
- 15:49Speaker 4: the way he came out of it, by the way,
- 15:52Speaker 4: and I pointed this out to somebody in the office yesterday. Ps.
- 15:55Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, Choe a Otani's been in
- 15:59Speaker 4: just as big a rut. I mean, his batting average
- 16:01Speaker 4: didn't dip to one sixty six, but he started he didn't.
- 16:06Speaker 4: He started a lot hotter than cal did, so he
- 16:08Speaker 4: had his average up around three hundred and it fell
- 16:10Speaker 4: to like two thirty. But he had not hit a
- 16:14Speaker 4: home run in a while either. So if it can
- 16:17Speaker 4: happen to show it, it can happen to show it.
- 16:19Speaker 4: It can happen to anybody. Aaron Judge goes through really
- 16:23Speaker 4: long dry spells. He'll go through one this year where
- 16:25Speaker 4: he can't figure it out. But he's also considered the
- 16:29Speaker 4: greatest all around hitter in our game right now, So
- 16:32Speaker 4: it happens to everybody. You don't know what is going
- 16:35Speaker 4: to break you out of it. I'm not saying that
- 16:37Speaker 4: Cal is it's all behind him. I mean, he's got
- 16:40Speaker 4: a rinse and repeat and he's got to get back
- 16:42Speaker 4: at it. But I love the fact that he took
- 16:43Speaker 4: a walk to Aaron Goldsmith's point the day before about
- 16:47Speaker 4: he's not taking enough pitches. That is uncal like, he's
- 16:51Speaker 4: not taking his walks, and it's because he's so anxious
- 16:54Speaker 4: to end the skid that he wants to and he
- 16:57Speaker 4: doesn't want to get in a hole. He's swinging in
- 16:59Speaker 4: every first pitch and what does it do is Ryan
- 17:01Speaker 4: just told you in that clip, it's putting him in
- 17:03Speaker 4: a hole. And then once you're in the hole because
- 17:05Speaker 4: you couldn't catch up with the fastball and you know
- 17:07Speaker 4: the pattern and they're taking advantage of it. Now you
- 17:10Speaker 4: don't know what's coming next. Chaos breaks loose in your
- 17:13Speaker 4: headum pandemonium, and that's what's been happening to Cal. You
- 17:17Speaker 4: can see it or what you could watch it. You
- 17:19Speaker 4: could watch it unfold. He just was not hitting with confidence.
- 17:23Speaker 4: But he got to see a few pitches last night
- 17:25Speaker 4: and got a walk that in itself was a victory,
- 17:28Speaker 4: and then he couple outs. Then he comes back a
- 17:31Speaker 4: little later with the base hit to right and not
- 17:34Speaker 4: some bloop job, not at all, but the type of
- 17:36Speaker 4: jaw hit that suggests I got good barrel. I was
- 17:40Speaker 4: on that pitch and I got a clean single to
- 17:43Speaker 4: right center field, and then the beautiful capper to it.
- 17:46Speaker 4: Because Shoe had a home run last night to break
- 17:49Speaker 4: out of his skid, I actually liked the way Cal
- 17:51Speaker 4: came out of his skid better.
- 17:53Speaker 6: Yeah, we didn't need another home run.
- 17:54Speaker 4: He got a walk, he got a base hit to
- 17:57Speaker 4: right center field, a line drive base it. He got
- 17:59Speaker 4: a line drive base hit to the left centerfield alley.
- 18:03Speaker 4: I mean, those are the type of things that tend
- 18:05Speaker 4: to suggest that your skit is over, that you're locked
- 18:10Speaker 4: back in and ready to go. And sometimes it can
- 18:13Speaker 4: happen with a bloop. Sometimes it can happen with a homer.
- 18:17Speaker 4: Sometimes it can happen with a shower with your clothes on.
- 18:20Speaker 4: You have no idea, but I kind of like the
- 18:22Speaker 4: shower with your clothes on. Walk, two line drives to
- 18:26Speaker 4: the alley, to the other to two different alleys, kind
- 18:31Speaker 4: of indication that he's out of.
- 18:33Speaker 1: It, absolutely, and especially because he's had seven home runs
- 18:37Speaker 1: already this year and he hasn't gotten out of his struggles,
- 18:42Speaker 1: and so I think it was refreshing to see those
- 18:44Speaker 1: two hits, to see that walk, to see something different.
- 18:47Speaker 1: You could see the absolute relief on his face, in
- 18:51Speaker 1: his body just the once he got to first base.
- 18:53Speaker 4: That yeah, I.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Mean you could see him physically breathe out, and so
- 19:00Speaker 1: I and the fact.
- 19:01Speaker 4: That all this players were like mockingly cheering him and
- 19:05Speaker 4: they needed it. That that you it's a again, it's
- 19:09Speaker 4: a sport. JSN goes three weeks without catching a pass
- 19:12Speaker 4: because he's dropped every throw his way. I'm not sure
- 19:15Speaker 4: he's going to be laughing after that.
- 19:17Speaker 6: Oh no.
- 19:17Speaker 4: But in baseball, baseball is such a wicked sport that
- 19:22Speaker 4: you everybody understands that plays the game, pitcher, catcher, coach,
- 19:26Speaker 4: doesn't matter that these things happen, and you never know
- 19:29Speaker 4: what's going to get you out, but when you do
- 19:31Speaker 4: get out of it, it usually means you're out of it.
- 19:35Speaker 6: And I hope that's what it means.
- 19:36Speaker 4: I hope, yeah, I hope that's what it means as well.
- 19:39Speaker 4: And so great to see it last night. Can't wait
- 19:43Speaker 4: to see what we get as a follow up here
- 19:45Speaker 4: this evening. But two it's in a walk for cal Rawley. Uh,
- 19:48Speaker 4: and maybe he's going again. And I will disagree wholeheartedly
- 19:51Speaker 4: with Jay who said two nights ago that, hey, end
- 19:57Speaker 4: of the year, you quadruple these stats. That's twenty eight
- 20:00Speaker 4: homers and that's eighty RBIs and you'll take that. No,
- 20:04Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I'll take twenty eight homers and ad
- 20:06Speaker 4: RBIs from Cal. But we're not going to get where
- 20:09Speaker 4: we want to go with a one sixty six because
- 20:11Speaker 4: you can quadruple a one sixty three batting average and
- 20:14Speaker 4: it's still won sixty three, correct, And you can quadruple
- 20:17Speaker 4: a five to seventy three ops and it's still five
- 20:19Speaker 4: seventy three. We're not going to get where we want
- 20:22Speaker 4: to go if cal Rawley is hitting one sixty six
- 20:25Speaker 4: with a five to seventy three OPS. So hopefully he's
- 20:28Speaker 4: back on track. Hopefully we get even better things out
- 20:31Speaker 4: of him tonight, and hopefully we can keep this new
- 20:35Speaker 4: train of momentum going.
- 20:37Speaker 6: Chug a chug a choo chow.
- 20:39Speaker 4: Thank you, you're welcome. Coming up next NFL schedule release week.
- 20:43Speaker 4: Here we are on the eve. We've talked about the
- 20:47Speaker 4: primetime games. We've talked about the opener, What about the
- 20:51Speaker 4: International Games? Will all of those pieces have come into
- 20:54Speaker 4: place this morning? We'll tell you about it next. Sports
- 20:57Speaker 4: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. I always hear that
- 21:20Speaker 4: from people over the years, and I always kind of shuddered.
- 21:26Speaker 6: What do you hear from people over the years?
- 21:28Speaker 4: You know, the person I just want everything? Oh, the
- 21:32Speaker 4: woman who has everything, the man who has everything, Like
- 21:35Speaker 4: you don't deserve everything? My gosh, how arrogant are you
- 21:38Speaker 4: that you deserve for the rest of them? Yeah, exactly.
- 21:40Speaker 4: Why don't you just be alright with You've got a
- 21:42Speaker 4: lot more than most people, you know, but you want
- 21:45Speaker 4: to have everything? Yeah? Well, yeah, you want that.
- 21:48Speaker 6: People do want that.
- 21:51Speaker 4: Good luck getting that. I just don't think that it
- 21:54Speaker 4: is realistic. You know, if you're going to be a
- 21:57Speaker 4: really successful business person, probably gonna have to make sacrifices
- 22:00Speaker 4: to do that. Therefore you won't have everything.
- 22:03Speaker 6: Well that's just dishearten me mm hmm.
- 22:06Speaker 4: But it's good. But you have a goal of having
- 22:08Speaker 4: a lot of things.
- 22:10Speaker 6: That's good, right, Yes, the greed.
- 22:12Speaker 4: Or not have I think it's an even better goal too.
- 22:15Speaker 4: I'm not wanting for anything. I think that's an even
- 22:19Speaker 4: better goal.
- 22:19Speaker 6: That's a better goal.
- 22:20Speaker 4: But if you do want everything, if you're into that
- 22:23Speaker 4: sort of thing, don't let me discourage you. Head on
- 22:26Speaker 4: over to t Lala Presort Casino where they have everything.
- 22:29Speaker 6: Well, see, we that's easy. Then we can just go
- 22:32Speaker 6: there and get everything.
- 22:33Speaker 4: When all you want is everything. They even haven't everything
- 22:36Speaker 4: to leylup dot com like, you can go online and
- 22:38Speaker 4: find out everything.
- 22:39Speaker 6: Find out everything that you could have.
- 22:41Speaker 4: And then make a little short dry to Tilala Presort
- 22:44Speaker 4: Casino and you're in the midst of everything, and then
- 22:46Speaker 4: you can have it all.
- 22:48Speaker 6: I did not realize it was that simple. Ye, and
- 22:50Speaker 6: I live pretty close to Leylap.
- 22:51Speaker 4: Yeah, you've been wasting your life.
- 22:53Speaker 1: I have been just miles away from everything at my fingertips.
- 22:56Speaker 6: I know, I feel like I've missed out.
- 22:58Speaker 4: Stupid parenting.
- 23:01Speaker 6: It's stupid.
- 23:03Speaker 4: It's just bogged you down from having every all. I
- 23:06Speaker 4: just take your kid there and then you do have everything.
- 23:10Speaker 6: That's a good point.
- 23:12Speaker 4: All right, let's talk about the NFL schedule. Tomorrow is
- 23:15Speaker 4: NFL Schedule release Day, and uh, I know it's a
- 23:19Speaker 4: really big deal in a lot of people's lives. Got
- 23:21Speaker 4: to make my plans. I always go go see one
- 23:23Speaker 4: game on the road for the Seahawks, and I got
- 23:25Speaker 4: to figure out what the perfect Husky Seahawk combination trip
- 23:29Speaker 4: I can take. I get it. I get it. A
- 23:31Speaker 4: lot of a lot of plans can be made from
- 23:34Speaker 4: all of this, and so we'll get you set to tomorrow.
- 23:38Speaker 4: We have been dealing with leakage all week long, and
- 23:42Speaker 4: not as much leakage. It feels like to me, feels
- 23:44Speaker 4: like there are fewer leaks.
- 23:45Speaker 6: In the room, feels like the holes have been more plugged.
- 23:47Speaker 4: So I don't know if the NFL just told all
- 23:51Speaker 4: of the insiders who live for breaking stories before their
- 23:55Speaker 4: cohorts chill, we're gonna We're gonna save more of it
- 24:00Speaker 4: for Thursday. I hope that's the case. I want some surprises.
- 24:03Speaker 4: I don't want to know the whole thing before tomorrow's
- 24:05Speaker 4: schedule release. Otherwise I won't listen to this offtian Fame.
- 24:09Speaker 6: Program drawn a line, Oh, do not make such extreme.
- 24:16Speaker 4: But today's leak, today's leak is pretty significant. Today's leak
- 24:19Speaker 4: is the International Games. So we've kind of known who
- 24:23Speaker 4: was going to play in the International Games, but there
- 24:25Speaker 4: have been some holes in the patchwork, and now we
- 24:29Speaker 4: have it all. We have the entire table for you.
- 24:31Speaker 4: So week number one in Australia, San Francisco versus the Rams.
- 24:35Speaker 6: We like that one, Yes, five of them though, I'm
- 24:39Speaker 6: real pissed.
- 24:39Speaker 4: Yeah. Week number three Rio de Janeiro will be Baltimore
- 24:44Speaker 4: versus Dallas. Weeks four through six. Week four you'll have London, England,
- 24:51Speaker 4: So three straight games in London. It'll be the Colts
- 24:54Speaker 4: against the Commanders, the Eagles on the next week against
- 24:58Speaker 4: the Jaguars and the Texans and the Jaguars. The Jaguars
- 25:03Speaker 4: London's kind of their second home. They get to play
- 25:04Speaker 4: two games there, which that's a little foreshadowing for you
- 25:08Speaker 4: for the Reckless of Breakfast today Paris, France. Then on
- 25:11Speaker 4: October twenty fifth, Week seven, Pittsburgh versus New Orleans and Paris.
- 25:18Speaker 4: That'll be a wonderful trip for all the ladies.
- 25:21Speaker 6: It's so romantic.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Maybe Steelers brain, don't forget your terrible towel when you
- 25:25Speaker 1: go to the Eiffel Tower.
- 25:26Speaker 4: Yeah. Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers is like, I'll be in Egypt.
- 25:30Speaker 4: You can go to Paris if you want, you want,
- 25:32Speaker 4: but I'm going to play in Egypt, and I would
- 25:34Speaker 4: appreciate it. If you would reschedule it for.
- 25:37Speaker 6: Egypt, he probably would do that.
- 25:40Speaker 4: If anyone would, it would be him. Then in week
- 25:43Speaker 4: number nine in Madrid, you're going to have your Cincinnati
- 25:46Speaker 4: Bengals taking on the Atlanta Falcons Munich, Germany. And week
- 25:50Speaker 4: ten you've got the New England Patriots against the Detroit Lions.
- 25:54Speaker 4: And in Mexico City a week number eleven, which always
- 25:58Speaker 4: seems to get canceled, does it. I don't, it doesn't,
- 26:03Speaker 4: but it always seems that it does. Uh, Minnesota Vikings
- 26:06Speaker 4: taking on the San Francisco forty nine ers always bad turf.
- 26:09Speaker 4: It feels like in Mexico City, like the turf is
- 26:12Speaker 4: not out the problem, you know, And that's a it
- 26:14Speaker 4: is a problem. I mean, Chris Canty, I've heard talk
- 26:17Speaker 4: about this a lot that NFL players, we're gonna play
- 26:20Speaker 4: more of these games. I mean, just because it's only
- 26:25Speaker 4: one game a year doesn't mean we want to expose
- 26:28Speaker 4: our acls.
- 26:30Speaker 1: Otherwise you'll end all the international games. If you're not
- 26:32Speaker 1: going to keep the field up to standard.
- 26:34Speaker 4: Well, this is going to be a I mean, this
- 26:36Speaker 4: has been a this is a big topic with the
- 26:37Speaker 4: players Association. I get it. You want us to play
- 26:41Speaker 4: a lot of us to play one, maybe up to
- 26:42Speaker 4: two games eventually in Europe. But if you're going to
- 26:45Speaker 4: do that, just because it's one game doesn't mean we
- 26:48Speaker 4: want to play on a bad surface. It needs to
- 26:51Speaker 4: be up to NFL standards. You have to oversee this.
- 26:53Speaker 4: You have to do a better job of overseeing this
- 26:56Speaker 4: because to this point it's been hitting sometimes no problems
- 27:01Speaker 4: at all, but too often there's a problem with the field.
- 27:05Speaker 4: And so this will be something as the NFL keeps
- 27:08Speaker 4: going more global, and they're not going to stop more foreshadowing.
- 27:13Speaker 4: As they are going more global, the NFL player associates like, Okay,
- 27:17Speaker 4: more and more games we play, more and more exposure
- 27:19Speaker 4: we have if the fields aren't up to NFL standards.
- 27:22Speaker 4: So if we're going to do this, you have to
- 27:25Speaker 4: fix the fields, period.
- 27:27Speaker 6: And that is a fair request.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Whether they shouldn't be in danger of tearing an acl
- 27:32Speaker 1: or an achilles or whatever non contact injuries they could
- 27:35Speaker 1: deal with on bad turf.
- 27:36Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. So Seahawks are not playing. We already
- 27:39Speaker 4: knew that, but now that we have the entire schedule
- 27:42Speaker 4: in front of us, and the forty nine ers are
- 27:44Speaker 4: playing two.
- 27:45Speaker 1: I think that this forty nine ers are getting a
- 27:47Speaker 1: little hosed and I don't hate that, just so you know,
- 27:51Speaker 1: but we.
- 27:51Speaker 4: Can agree that. I mean, they don't want that. It's
- 27:55Speaker 4: not like San Francisco, not like Jacksonville. Jacksonville did this
- 27:57Speaker 4: London thing because they were having trouble getting fans to
- 27:59Speaker 4: come to the games, not like San Francisco struggles.
- 28:02Speaker 6: Well yeah, back to back in the same country.
- 28:06Speaker 1: So they're not starting the season against a division rival
- 28:11Speaker 1: in Australia and then midway through the season going to
- 28:15Speaker 1: Mexico City to play to face the Vikings.
- 28:20Speaker 4: I'll put it this way. I'm so glad the Seahawks
- 28:24Speaker 4: don't have a single international game. Me too. So then
- 28:28Speaker 4: what does that say about the idea of playing two?
- 28:33Speaker 6: Says it's really unfair?
- 28:34Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah right, And I mean actually that the week
- 28:37Speaker 1: eleven game, they're the home team, so they're missing out
- 28:39Speaker 1: on a home game there.
- 28:40Speaker 4: Yeah. I get that Greg likes to fly sometimes to
- 28:43Speaker 4: some of these cities and have a little trip, and
- 28:45Speaker 4: I'm sure there are some merits to it, but as
- 28:47Speaker 4: in terms of what it takes to get a victory,
- 28:51Speaker 4: I don't like. I don't like playing one international game.
- 28:54Speaker 4: I don't like, as somebody who's sleep deprived for a living,
- 28:57Speaker 4: having to get up at four o'clock to watch a game.
- 28:59Speaker 4: I don't like any No, I hate that. So I
- 29:01Speaker 4: don't want one Sea Hawk game. So you can imagine
- 29:04Speaker 4: my own personal relief to not be in San Francisco
- 29:08Speaker 4: situation and have to play two.
- 29:10Speaker 1: If I am a forty nine er, either a member
- 29:12Speaker 1: of the organization or a fan, I'm angry that they're
- 29:15Speaker 1: playing two of these.
- 29:16Speaker 6: And I mean also, I.
- 29:17Speaker 1: Feel like when you watch them, it's never the same
- 29:19Speaker 1: as watching a game here in the US. It always
- 29:22Speaker 1: seems a little like there's something wonks you're going to happen. Yeah,
- 29:26Speaker 1: there's something wonky that's gonna happen in the game. The fans,
- 29:28Speaker 1: especially when Saf's played in Germany, those fans were great. Still,
- 29:31Speaker 1: the game itself, it just seems off. It doesn't seem right,
- 29:35Speaker 1: not to mention you're watching it at a very random time.
- 29:38Speaker 1: I can't imagine that the NFL gets great numbers outside
- 29:42Speaker 1: of the fan bases that are playing on.
- 29:44Speaker 6: Those six a M games, right, So, I don't know.
- 29:47Speaker 4: Although fantasy football is a very powerful force.
- 29:49Speaker 1: It is, but I don't wake up to watch any
- 29:51Speaker 1: of them. I just look at my stats after make
- 29:54Speaker 1: sure and see how it went. We don't play anyone
- 29:56Speaker 1: that's playing in them because it's always wonky.
- 29:58Speaker 4: Well that will lead to our next segment, Reckless at Breakfast.
- 30:02Speaker 4: I've done so much foreshadowing of what I'm going to discuss,
- 30:06Speaker 4: and Reckless at Breakfast they're calling it five shadowing how much.
- 30:11Speaker 4: That's how much foreshadowing I've done to this point, So
- 30:15Speaker 4: you can guess what I'm going to discuss next, because
- 30:18Speaker 4: I'm not sure if it will be the National Football
- 30:21Speaker 4: League for much longer. It might be the International Football
- 30:25Speaker 4: League in the coming years. We will discuss that next.
- 30:27Speaker 4: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, so the Las
- 30:31Speaker 4: Vegas golf expert himself, Brady Cannon. It'll give you an
- 30:35Speaker 4: idea of who's going to win and how to play
- 30:38Speaker 4: those odds. That's rad that's what Brady Cannon does, and
- 30:42Speaker 4: he's as good as anybody at it. So we're lucky
- 30:44Speaker 4: to have him. He'll join us today here at eight o'clock.
- 30:47Speaker 4: But first we're gonna get a little Reckless at Breakfast
- 30:50Speaker 4: this morning, and yes, I will talk about the International
- 30:53Speaker 4: Football League. Maybe they never will change the name from
- 30:57Speaker 4: the National Football League. I would hope they.
- 30:59Speaker 6: Wouldn't IFL doesn't have the same ring.
- 31:01Speaker 4: It doesn't even if it does eventually go fully global,
- 31:06Speaker 4: which I've warned about in numerous reckless at breakfasts in
- 31:09Speaker 4: the past. But obviously we're heading in a direction of
- 31:12Speaker 4: a lot more international football, trying to tap into these markets,
- 31:17Speaker 4: trying to get money out of all of the largest
- 31:20Speaker 4: markets throughout the globe. There is an appetite for NFL football,
- 31:24Speaker 4: even where you think there might not be. Guess what,
- 31:27Speaker 4: dangle it in front of them and then watch them
- 31:29Speaker 4: just try and devour the product. They might not even
- 31:32Speaker 4: get it. Well. I lived in New Zealand for a while.
- 31:35Speaker 4: They called it grid on. Oh you're watching grid.
- 31:38Speaker 6: On, No, I'm watching football.
- 31:41Speaker 4: Weirdo. Yeah, they called it grid iron there, and yet
- 31:44Speaker 4: give them a football team and watch them, watch them
- 31:47Speaker 4: soak it up.
- 31:48Speaker 6: Like I said, absorb it.
- 31:49Speaker 4: Uh huh. So I've been telling you for a long
- 31:52Speaker 4: time how far I think that this is going to go.
- 31:55Speaker 4: I think that eventually every NFL team is going to
- 32:00Speaker 4: have a sister city somewhere in the globe, and each
- 32:05Speaker 4: team will play two games outside of Seattle, right outside
- 32:12Speaker 4: of their own city limits. So I believe they will
- 32:16Speaker 4: go to any That's why we're going to the eighteen
- 32:17Speaker 4: game schedule. Sixteen of them will be played domestically, eight
- 32:21Speaker 4: at home, eight on the road, and then you will
- 32:23Speaker 4: play in your sister city once per year, and then
- 32:27Speaker 4: you will play a road game outside of America once
- 32:31Speaker 4: per year. Now doesn't that sound tidy? I mean we
- 32:34Speaker 4: I mean just went over the international schedule. Some teams
- 32:36Speaker 4: are playing international games, some teams aren't. Some teams are
- 32:39Speaker 4: playing too and that feels even to us who are
- 32:43Speaker 4: rooting against the forty nine ers, that feels a little unfair.
- 32:46Speaker 1: To me, it does, And as an forty nine ers hater,
- 32:48Speaker 1: I can have some sympathy for their fans, only a
- 32:51Speaker 1: tiny bit.
- 32:51Speaker 4: Yeah, I can notice it as being unfair and still
- 32:54Speaker 4: not have sympathy. That's kind of where I am.
- 32:56Speaker 1: I mean, that's a better way to put it. I
- 32:57Speaker 1: can acknowledge that you should be mad.
- 33:00Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, while I laugh at you. But but that said,
- 33:05Speaker 4: I think that's where it's going. I think that's the
- 33:07Speaker 4: tidy package that the NFL is shooting for. Now. I
- 33:11Speaker 4: don't know if they'll they'll have sister cities. I do
- 33:14Speaker 4: think they will have an eighteen game schedule with two
- 33:17Speaker 4: games played outside of America every year. Now, I think
- 33:20Speaker 4: you might as well go a little bit further, because
- 33:22Speaker 4: why wouldn't you want to stir up that allegiance in
- 33:26Speaker 4: that particular city. You could even stir up some rivalries
- 33:30Speaker 4: in those cities, fighting over just not thirty two teams,
- 33:35Speaker 4: but maybe in some cities there are two teams. Can
- 33:38Speaker 4: you imagine splitting London between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the
- 33:42Speaker 4: Houston Texans, for example, and you have to claim your
- 33:46Speaker 4: allegiance like if you're in Liverpool, I'm gonna watch some
- 33:50Speaker 4: Texans today.
- 33:51Speaker 6: Sounds so weird? Uh huh British accent?
- 33:54Speaker 4: Oh CJ. Stroud. I hope he doesn't whit his Bloomers.
- 33:58Speaker 6: I hope he does.
- 34:00Speaker 5: So.
- 34:01Speaker 4: I mean that's so to be able to create that
- 34:04Speaker 4: in a few different international major markets, it'd be you bid,
- 34:09Speaker 4: print money at that point. I mean, that would be
- 34:12Speaker 4: just financial gold at that point. And so one of
- 34:16Speaker 4: the questions that I had about my own theory was
- 34:19Speaker 4: are there enough cities to go around if you did this?
- 34:22Speaker 4: Because you're going to have to keep some geopolitical things
- 34:25Speaker 4: in mind. I mean, you're not gonna want to go
- 34:27Speaker 4: to places where you're afraid that your players are going
- 34:29Speaker 4: to get kidnapped.
- 34:30Speaker 6: That would be smart to avoid.
- 34:32Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're going to go to cities that you know,
- 34:35Speaker 4: you have an agreement with that you feel like everything's
- 34:38Speaker 4: everything's good, We're good, right, everybody's safe. Yeah, So that's that.
- 34:43Speaker 4: That would be a part of it. And I and
- 34:45Speaker 4: forgive me if I end up naming a country or
- 34:49Speaker 4: city that you personally don't feel comfortable sending people to,
- 34:54Speaker 4: that's that's not the point of the exercise. The point
- 34:56Speaker 4: of the exercise is trying to find thirty two sister
- 34:59Speaker 4: cities for thirty two NFL teams. If we went down
- 35:02Speaker 4: this road, I mean, I think you could have four
- 35:05Speaker 4: teams in England alone. I think you could certainly Liverpool
- 35:10Speaker 4: it up, and Birmingham it up and Manchester it up.
- 35:12Speaker 4: I mean it's not like they're not getting support for
- 35:15Speaker 4: those soccer teams that they have.
- 35:16Speaker 6: They do get a lot of support for those soccer
- 35:18Speaker 6: team that is correct.
- 35:19Speaker 4: And London's nine million, you could have four teams inside
- 35:23Speaker 4: London alone potentially. Now, I what I would like to
- 35:26Speaker 4: do is Great Britain. So you have an entire division
- 35:31Speaker 4: and it would be one of our divisions. They would
- 35:33Speaker 4: sync up right, and you would have London, two in London,
- 35:38Speaker 4: and one in Dublin and one in Glasgow. So now
- 35:40Speaker 4: you've got one in Scott's, Scotland, one in Ireland, and
- 35:44Speaker 4: then you've got two in England.
- 35:46Speaker 6: Oh that seems fair, so ballanced, seems balanced.
- 35:49Speaker 4: Not only are we creating like that merchandise war, choose
- 35:55Speaker 4: your NFL team inside England. Now we get to do
- 35:57Speaker 4: it against Ireland. Now we get to do it against
- 35:59Speaker 4: Scottland as well. Ireland versus Scotland. Now we don't want
- 36:03Speaker 4: to get to the point of barbarism. And they're killing
- 36:05Speaker 4: themselves over this sort of thing. But nonetheless, I think
- 36:10Speaker 4: you're going there just just once a year or twice
- 36:14Speaker 4: a year once heat Yeah, once a year. You're just
- 36:18Speaker 4: gonna play in that city once a year, and yet
- 36:20Speaker 4: you get twelve years of their fan or twelve months
- 36:23Speaker 4: of their fandom circulating around this, right. I think you
- 36:28Speaker 4: could put four teams in Tokyo. We won't. We'll put
- 36:30Speaker 4: two in Tokyo. Dubai you can put three in Australia, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth.
- 36:39Speaker 4: They can all support that for two games, one game
- 36:43Speaker 4: that they would host every year absolutely, and then you
- 36:47Speaker 4: could tie Auckland in so that they can continue to
- 36:51Speaker 4: hate Aussie's behind their backs. You can have two different
- 36:56Speaker 4: groups in Europe Rome, Milan, Madrid, Barcelona. You could have Munich, Berlin,
- 37:01Speaker 4: Vienna and Athens. You could have a South American division
- 37:05Speaker 4: with Rio sal Paolo, Buenos Aires and Mexico City. We'll
- 37:09Speaker 4: put Mexico City in South America, even though they're not
- 37:11Speaker 4: they're central. We could have a Canadian division and yeah,
- 37:16Speaker 4: sorry CFL, but not sorry, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Calgary.
- 37:23Speaker 4: And then we could have a Scandinavian division with Oslo, Helsinki,
- 37:26Speaker 4: Stockholm and Amsterdam. So there's enough to go around as
- 37:30Speaker 4: long as you're doubling up.
- 37:31Speaker 6: On a couple of them, as long as you're Dublin,
- 37:32Speaker 6: as long.
- 37:33Speaker 4: As you're doubling up. But I think that's where they're going.
- 37:38Speaker 4: I think they want the frenzy and the fervor. I mean,
- 37:41Speaker 4: think about how much we love the NFL and we
- 37:44Speaker 4: have thirty two different teams here in America. If you
- 37:48Speaker 4: just drop the Seahawks in let's say Barcelona, that's the
- 37:52Speaker 4: name I always attach. I don't know why I don't
- 37:55Speaker 4: have an affinity for Barcelona. But if you just drop
- 37:58Speaker 4: the Seahawks and then you had twelve months of support
- 38:02Speaker 4: an entire family, they're getting Christmas presents of Seahawks merchandise there.
- 38:07Speaker 4: They can't wait for the one game that they get
- 38:09Speaker 4: to see the Seahawks play on their soil every year,
- 38:11Speaker 4: and then they watch your product because now they're invested.
- 38:14Speaker 4: So now they're getting up at whatever time you have
- 38:17Speaker 4: to get up in Barcelona to watch NFL football, and
- 38:19Speaker 4: now they're watching this. You get the international television ratings
- 38:22Speaker 4: out of that as well. And now we're also going
- 38:25Speaker 4: to add we're going to introduce rivalries within the international format,
- 38:30Speaker 4: so we would if you're Barcelona, imagine how much you
- 38:33Speaker 4: hate the Madrid forty nine ers. We can have different
- 38:36Speaker 4: uniforms that Barcelona, which is kind of like the Seahawks
- 38:39Speaker 4: but just slightly different, that they wear when they're in Europe.
- 38:42Speaker 4: You know, it's just it's just it's like discovering oil
- 38:49Speaker 4: in your backyard twice, like, oh man, I can't believe
- 38:53Speaker 4: we discovered all we just did it again.
- 38:56Speaker 1: If you're the NFL, yeah, you're just gonna be raking
- 38:59Speaker 1: in money. I mean the NFL fan and me hates
- 39:02Speaker 1: it because the NFL is an American sport. It is
- 39:06Speaker 1: our sport, it is our thing, and it seems like
- 39:10Speaker 1: they just want to make it so global and so huge.
- 39:12Speaker 1: And I understand they have the market, but I do
- 39:15Speaker 1: think that every international game takes away from our domestic product.
- 39:19Speaker 4: I don't think it takes away from our domestic product,
- 39:22Speaker 4: but I do agree with you. I don't want it
- 39:24Speaker 4: to happen. It doesn't need to happen. My gosh, you're
- 39:28Speaker 4: not making enough money at this stage.
- 39:30Speaker 6: How much is enough?
- 39:32Speaker 4: We don't need to happen. So do know this because
- 39:35Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought this up. I brought this up
- 39:38Speaker 4: a lot during Reckless of Breakfast in the past. I
- 39:40Speaker 4: don't want it to happen just because I'm bringing it
- 39:43Speaker 4: up as a possibility. I don't want it to happen.
- 39:46Speaker 1: Just something you think they're going towards, or I don't
- 39:48Speaker 1: see them going towards.
- 39:49Speaker 4: I don't want us to play one international game. I
- 39:52Speaker 4: don't even want to showcase it in another international city. No,
- 39:55Speaker 4: we're gonna have eight games at home, We're gonna have
- 39:57Speaker 4: eight games at the row. We don't need seven team
- 40:00Speaker 4: and if we want to go eighteen, it'll be nine
- 40:01Speaker 4: to nine. That's the way that I would want it.
- 40:05Speaker 4: This is me predicting where it's going. And you know
- 40:11Speaker 4: Roger Goodell, he just keeps tacking on a little bit
- 40:14Speaker 4: more every single year. And I think this is the
- 40:17Speaker 4: end destination. You know, this little thing right here YouTubers,
- 40:21Speaker 4: this little page of paper. I think it's sister Cities,
- 40:24Speaker 4: and I think it's being able to sell merch and
- 40:26Speaker 4: get TV ratings globally twelve months out of the year.
- 40:30Speaker 4: And I think that's where our league, our little tiny
- 40:32Speaker 4: football league is headed.
- 40:34Speaker 6: The NFL would be drooling over themselves at this possibility,
- 40:37Speaker 6: for sure.
- 40:38Speaker 4: And I also just last thing quickly. I don't think
- 40:40Speaker 4: it would be the Barcelona Seahawks. I think we'd probably
- 40:43Speaker 4: attach ourselves to Tokyo, oh Okay, and I would like
- 40:46Speaker 4: to go to Tokyo every year to watch football, right
- 40:50Speaker 4: all right? Coming up next on the program, Brady Cannon
