• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Just good heavy back and Andrews. You survived the final
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: post game crack and talk last night with the captain?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, I did. It was it was a good
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: time kind of closing out. I think that's their third
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: or fourth straight or Fanas Appreciation Night where they lost.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Fourth straight, four straight fan Appreciation Night losses. The only
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: time they won, which is crazy, was year one when
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: they were really I mean really bad. Yeah, so that's odd.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Fact they the time that the year they went to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, they didn't win their last game. But because
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: they already we already know that they won the playoff
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: series and went to seven in the second round. But yeah,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: so if we're being honest, you don't want to win
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: that game. No, Like I just I know of anybody's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: listening over there, they might get upset. Although actually the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: people I everyone knows don't win. There's times you don't
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: want to win. It's yeah, you don't want to win.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I mean it's fair to say that.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it does you no good. Yeah, it
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: doesn't do you any good? Does you know good whatsoever?
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: If yeah, go ahead, y, we'll get to we'll get
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to some crack and stuff at one forty five. Interesting
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: thing coming out of Canada sportsnet dot Ca. Do you
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: read it yet, Andrews? I have kind of skimmed through it.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Get to the crack and part kind of juicy. We'll
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: get to that. I like it. Mariners win again, four
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: straight wins over the Houston Astros. Joe Shean's going to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: join us at one twenty. I'm excited to talk to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Joe because one of the things we'll talk all things baseball.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm fascinated by the Astros in this. From
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: this standpoint, I wonder is the demise premature, thinking that
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: they're done the pitching staff? Is it so bad that
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: they can't rebound? Are they going to get some guys
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: back this year? I think we all enjoy watching the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Astros lose. Yeah, I think that's a fun thing to see.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk to because I think it's as important
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: we always do this in the NFL. It's's important to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: understand what the rest of your division is like as
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: opposed to just you and looking in a mirror. Mayer's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the best started heat up. Okay, I hate radio guy
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that does that, that does the following, But I'm going
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to do the following do it are they back?
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: No?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: No? Oh, okay, no, there's two things that have happened
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: on this particular show Friday and yesterday that have directly
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: resulted in an increased offense by the local baseball team.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I know exactly where you're going. Friday, Danny O'Neill and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I talked. He expressed concern over the broken EA thiro
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: statue bat. I told him it's like a slumpbuster. It's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the best omen you could ever have. What happened four
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: straight wins and seventeen runs the next two nights.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, undefeated.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So so my omen there about the offense coming alive
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: with a broken EA thro bat to Danny O'Neill, which he,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: by the way, wrote about yesterday. Although if we went
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: back to the tape, I think he initially scoffed at
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: my premise.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: It's funny how that works, where he takes your idea
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: and then makes it in an article.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: And he scoffed at it. Oh, Neil, No, he didn't,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: he was. He He kind of danced with me after
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I sold him on it. Fair enough. So we'll talk
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: about that with him on Friday, because that was Friday. Yesterday,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: we did something we don't normally do. We did a
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: maulliwop Monday. Although I say that we don't normally do this.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: It's not normal to have a Monday Day game. That
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: just isn't. It's baseball doesn't do that. They did to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: us yesterday for whatever reason, or game Homestown four game,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: four games against his knuckleheads, and then you're on the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: just weird scheduling Mayway Day game yesterday. Normally we don't
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: go ahead to head with talking Mariners when the Marriers
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: are playing because we assume that some of you may
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: not be here that are Mariner fans, and we want
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to do the show for as many people as possible
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and find like usually we would just count. They call
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it counter programming in the business, which we did. We
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: did football too, But in the process of having those
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: guys on, before he even had an app bat, we
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: went to a tease to a first break and I said,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about Josh Naylor and his struggles. His two
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: RBIs on the season, nothing going power wise. We come back,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Chris is talking about the bat speed is diminished dramatically.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: He hits a home run.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. Literally during the break right after you
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: teased it, he hits his home run.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And by the time we were done with Molly Watt Monday,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: he hit a second home run. Did Josh Naylor? I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm getting my chops are getting busted on
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: social media and on the text line yesterday. I think
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: we should just get some credit here on this radio
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: show again. I hate when radio guy does that. I'm
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the guy. It's a jinx. No, no, no, here's the thing.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It's a coincidence. We have nothing to do with it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not taking any credit whatsoever. We move on. I'm
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: a humble man. I'm not going to do that.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Is the most superstitious sport that exists.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm taking all the credit. Yes, I would do it.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'm taking all the credit, one hundred percent of the credit.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: We're taking it all right, now, here we go. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: mean it was I'll tell you what it was. It
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: was actually kind of scary, disturbing, is what happened. Because
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Friday's one thing, Like, Okay, they bust out the whooping
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: sticks on Houston those first two games. It was funny
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: because they had the huge output on Friday. Okay, let's one.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Then they're down seven to two on Saturday, and I
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: come back and we were actually were at queen a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: beer hall, was our TV crew was out there kind
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of a final home game, little postgame session, and we're
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: watching at seven to two, and then all of a sudden,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it's seven to three, and then before we got up
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to leave, it was seven to seven. Who hits the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: home run? I'm like, okay, well they score at least seven,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: so now they've got fifteen runs in the last two games.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Don't make it sixteen because they scored later and they
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: won the game. So it was crazy. The coincidence not
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: lost on us. And then of course what happens yesterday
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: is we talked. I mean, the Nailor thing was almost
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: scary disturbing.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Was it was, are you scared to be your own power?
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: No?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I wasn't even mean. I think it's Chris and me
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and everybody. I think it's the power of molliwap. To
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: be honest with you, it's all power. It's the power
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: of molliwah. But yeah, we were literally talking about this
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: is what's going on, this is what's happening. We're going
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to talk about Naylor, why we should be concerned. Chris
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: had the numbers to back it up. The bat speed,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: specifically that kind of stuff, and then lo and behold,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: home run, home run, Thanks for coming. Josh Naylor coming
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: around the bases on the second one, I think I
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: saw him giving us the middle finger.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and and good, he's that guy, he needs them.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: We'll honestly take it for the team. Yeah, we will.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: We will take you right to be wrong. Right this
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: we root to be wrong. We weren't even wrong. We
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: were just going to talk about his struggles and then
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: his struggles ended with Now we'll see how you know
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: they're in San Diego tonight, Padres are okay, so we'll
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: pretty dang good. Yeah, they just happened to be playing
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: in a division with a team that's okay, Yeah, Dodgers,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: so so yeah, so yeah, that starts tonight. I don't
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: know when we're gonna get more to this. We all
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: try to find some time. Maybe we'll look through it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: The little bit news coming out today, Uh, And I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: take no joy in saying this because our time with
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: her here was great. Diana Russin resigned today from the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: athletic We'll get into the whole thing later. One of
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the closest was not because I accept the narrative that
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: has been constructed around this episode, because I refused to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: let it further oxygenive, but let it define my career. Well,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: here's the problem. It will define your career, and that's unfortunate.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people make decisions in life
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: that end up being massively damaging, costly to your career,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to your reputation, to a lot of different things. And
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: sometimes there are things that are very easy to see,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you know, driving drunk or intoxicated under the influence, abusing
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a woman. If you're a guy, you know, what have you?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: In this case, If we want to give benefit of
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the doubt in this case, maybe it was innocent. Maybe
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: there's nothing going on there. Maybe all of her reporting
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: over all those years was fine, and I was on
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the up and up, and it wasn't. It wasn't gained
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: through whatever salacious ways you may want to think. There
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: was the accusation from Scott mccluan's wife, who was the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: gem at the time of the Washington at the time
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Redskins years ago about her and how she got information,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and the wife later took the post down, which I
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: thought was odd. If why would you write that in
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the first place, and then years later this was what
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: happens with Mike Vrabel. Vrabel's not going to meet with
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the media pre draft. That'll God, I'm just I can't
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: even tell you how glad I am that it's not
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: us like and oh, I imagine having I'm not at that,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And I didn't want to say, I'm not gonna say
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: our coach is I'm glad it wasn't a Seahawk coach,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: just blindly Seahawk coach, because I couldn't even fathom how
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable that would be for draft weekend because it's the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: elephant in the room. And if he doesn't address it beforehand,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: which I think is a mistake, He's going to meet
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: with the media at some point during the draft.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: And he will be asked about it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Now it should be asked about it. And for him,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. That's the unfortunate part of this. It
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you're the dude no, I mean you
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: can look at him, Yeah, it doesn't matter. Like for him,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: he's a football coach. If and this is all caps,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: if if the football coach stepped out on his wife,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: if he did that and was messing around with a
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: reporter and and all of if that happened, who cares.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Everything he did was with an agenda, probably to help
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: his own team, right, you know, planting the AJ Brown
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: story whatever it might be, if that's all the case.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: But for it, for him, the ramifications are uncomfortable. It's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: not fun. You want to deal with it, end of
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the day. Whatever football coach do my thing coach ex linebacker.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: For her, I don't know how you come back from it.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And I'll just say with Diana this she started here
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: with Softy and updates on his show when he was
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: on Comcast Sports and we were doing radio on TV
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: back in the day, and her rise to stardom was remarkable.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: She didn't know how to hold a microphone. And I'm
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: not kidding you when I say that. She was doing
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: an interview. We did an Oregon State Washington baseball game
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: down at T Mobile. I was doing play by play.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Jeff Nelson and Softy were in the booth with me.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: We hat three man booth. She was on the field
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: interviewing the coaches and didn't know like she'd ask a
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: question with the microphone pointed at the guy at the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: coach and then bring it back to her when he
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that's how that's how green she was as a TV personality.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: She got better doing the stuff with Softy. Comcast sports
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Net brought her down to some Blazer stuff with us
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: down there when I was doing that, and then boo them.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, she gets hired as a weekend
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: anchor in DC big market, top ten market. Next thing,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you know, after being a sports director and the main
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: person there. I remember seeing her back when I was
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: covering some games back there Starr twice. I'm like, damn,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: good for you, Like you went from I mean, you
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: went from zero to one hundred. And then from there
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: it went to ESPN where they put her in the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: ESPN boot camp. Same thing they did with Linda Cone
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: when she couldn't read a teleprompter when she worked here
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. Next thing, you know, Diana is a star,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: a star, and she's probably thrown it all away, which
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: is unfortunate and probably by and honestly her own fault.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: It's her own fault and his anyway. That's it, uh
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: four nine four five one to come on to utch
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: text line, Joe.
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: She it.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Is the demise of the Houston Astros greatly exaggerated. We'll
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: find out next.

• 12:39
  Speaker 5: First and second inning, toughly, guys. Topley hit is in
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: a lot of cal rally, Uh whois? And Josh naler
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: all it was just the second the first time all
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: year and all three had gotten a hit in the
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: same inning. It was the second time all year that
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: all got to hit the same Dame damn. Well, that's right,
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: I just been it's looking up, hope, that's right.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: They're heating up. That's a good sign, right, Joe, that's
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a good sign. We're heating up here we go. Things
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: are going better right now. You'll you'll love this, You'll
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: love this. We're doing our Molliwatt Monday thing. Nathan Chris
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and I yesterday and we said, well, usually as baseball
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: games going on, we don't like to do it right
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: head to head, right you do the old counterprogramming thing
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: we do in radio, and we would have talked NFL
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: draft or the crack in or something like that. We said, now,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: you know what, I want to have these guys on
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: wet us to talk about. They won the first three
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: games of the weekend, and you know, honestly, I was
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: thinking too, probably half the city doesn't even know they're
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: playing a one o'clock game on a Monday because it's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: such an odd time. We get ready to go. Anders
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: was the first break, first break we got break.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: You tease that we're going to talk about the struggles
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: of Josh Naylor and going into the break.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And Crawford goes, I've got Crawford and Crawford says, I've
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: got numbers to talk about because his bat speed is
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: down significantly. We'll talk about the struggles of Naylor in
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: that commercial break, and I will readily admit, as our
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: listeners know, our commercial breaks are fairly long. In our break,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Josh Dailor hits a home run. Before we were done
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: with the Molliwatt Monday, he hit home run number two.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we should take credit for that
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: or not. It's just baseball is weird, Joe, but boe
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and behold. Just like that, Josh Naylor's out of his slump.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of luck involved in this gig, and
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: there are days where you know, you write something and
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: something like that out, Oh this guy's terribiley, it's too
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: home runs, or you get lucky, you profile a player
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: and he goes off. I will say that I would
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: have gone the other way with Christo because if you
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: look at look at a lot of these numbers on
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: different waves, Naylor has one of the largest gaps between
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: his projected batted ball slumming and his actual plugging. And
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: it's obviously closed up yesterday a little bit. But I mean,
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: he's somebody who was hitting the ball better than the
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: results people was getting. We talked about it. I think
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: last week. In that context. Some of the other bad
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: involve numbers aren't that great, like they usually prop up
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: le up where he gives that asmall numbers and his
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: actually aren't very good. That she was got ball on
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: the gravelot. But Naylor was a guy when you could
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: see the breakout.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Coming when you mentioned the statu the three guys, the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: big three basically with Julio o'call and Naylor getting all
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: hits at one time. What do you look for like
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: when you you know, and back in the days when
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: you were doing the analytics world, you know, day to
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: day and grinding on these things. What are we looking
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: for to say, hey, they're truly kind of breaking out
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: of the early season slumps? Are there? What are the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: big indicators for you?
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: So we didn't have the kind of information that I
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: was starting out that we have today in terms of
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: fat speed, being able to track exactly where a guy
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: is a stands and what angle is. So you know,
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: I look at a guy like Matt true Blood over
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: at Perspectives doing this great work breaking that stuff down
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: by Petriello over at MLB. I'm kind of learning from
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: them where that stuff is me, I'm looking at swing
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: decisions and you can quantify that using Robert Olla's work
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: at sea during Puss that at perspectives are at his
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: own site. I want to know, are you taking balls?
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: Are you swinging at strikes? Are you swinging at good strikes?
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: Are you attacking in good counts? I see a lot
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: of guys taking that old fastball down the middle because
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: they have a lot of big don't want to jump
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: on it. That's often the best picture is going to
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: see on two to oh, on three one? Are you zoning?
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: Are you saying I want to get a pitch in
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: this area? On you know, when you're behind in the count,
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: are you just jumping in everything? Or are you're showing
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: some patients. We talked about this in the Contextabilio sometimes
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: gets behind and you just can't lay off that breaking
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: ball that's not a strike. Swing decisions are very very
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: big for me. So when I'm looking at guys, are
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: they doing well? They do not doing well? I want
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: to know, are they swinging at good strikes? Are they
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: taking pitches of the well?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: And I mean, hopefully that's that's all happening right now,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and we'll see I mean they go to Tay, we'll
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: get to the team. They're going to see here in
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: just a couple of seconds San Diego, Padres one of
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: the things I wanted to get. I said, Hey, I
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: can't wait to have Joe on because we're gonna I
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: want to touch in on something that we've just touched
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: on yesterday. That is kind of I guess, I don't
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: know if it's the right word, but I'll just use anyway.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Almost the parody we're seeing in the American League right now, Joe, like, it's,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of teams hovering around five hundred.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: You know, Minnesota is three games above five hundred, that's
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the big that's the best in Cleveland, the best records
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: in the league, you know, the worst records in the league,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Houston six and eleven, Boston six and ten, I mean,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: just four games under five hundred as well. Is is
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: this the norm early in the season or is there
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: some true kind of I don't know if it's parody.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just a middle class lack
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: of really good baseball teams. What are what are you
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: seeing overall in the American League right now?
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: Well, there are.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Usually some team that gets out to a fourteen and
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: three start, and that's the one we're talking about. Conversely
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: three and fourteen, that hasn't happened this year. I think
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: the first time we talked this year, by the time
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: we talked on Tuesday afternoon, every team had both a
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: win and a loss. Nobody even gotten off to like
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: a four to oh five in oh start, so that
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: was unusual. And it's not just the Ale. If you
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: stack everybody, twenty nine thirty teams are separated by six
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: and a half games, twenty nine take out the Dodgers
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: are separated by four and a half, So it's not
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: just the Ale, it's across the league. I don't know
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: there's any one reason I could take. We'll focus because
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: this is all we have, and if I were to say,
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: carve out May seven teenth to June two, the standings
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: might look like this interesting we were focused as at
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: the start of the year. I do think there are
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: specific issues this year that the baseball wasn't flying very
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: well until last night when they put the twenty seventeen
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: balls into play. So I think you've got a lot
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: of low story engage, got a lot of hitters that
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: are struggling hit the ball over the fence because the
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: ball did so many pictures are out. I mean, I
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: think this is the rest of the segment on the
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: injured pitchers. You're the pirate of the pajet Is actually
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: without Taveta coming into see you guys, or actually you
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: got no doubt to see them like they're And I
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: think it's hard to evaluate some of these teams, like
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: the Astros, like the Cubs, like the Blue Jays, because
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: they're missing to three projected starting pitchers. That to me
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: is a big story early in the years. How many
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: pictures around even the breaks the Bridgeton in six ten seven,
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: they're down Spencer shrugging box and they're down A J.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: Smith Shauburn, They're down Hirston and Waldron. Injured pitchers are
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: are really a big story.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: We the last two outings or uh, Louis Castile three
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and a third, three and two thirds, ten hits, six hits,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: seven earned runs in the last outing, three earned runs
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: in the last and the outing before that hasn't locked
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys. Is there any concerns? Do we
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: have any concern here about Louis Castill.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: So I'm gonna be honest here, I have not seen
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: either one of them. Some scoutline have been here. I
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: think We've seen this with Castilla before, and it usually
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: comes later in the year. There's a dead on period.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: He gets knocked around. It's not I can't find the
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: strike zone. It's I'm just not missing. That's it. He
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: is the picture who has less stuff than he did
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: when he came over in the trade was twenty one
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: at the deadline. He is a lesser start of this one.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: He is if everybody's healthy. You know, he's a four.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: We were talking last year about him not even being
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: in the playoff rotation before for the injury of the group.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: So I think you've got to recognize him that he's
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: gonna fall him back. He's going to be a number four,
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: number five, and except that some of these outings are
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: going to happen now, I think he has an upside
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: that places him above a typical number five. I don't
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: want to write him off completely, but the baseline case
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: for him is probably more like a four one, four
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: to two e RA, which will make you a very
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: good number five. But there's going to be some blow
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: ups because you can't just beat people in the zone.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Any Joshi and joining us brought to my Northwest Handling
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Systems Joshian dot com is the website? All right? What's
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: the old? You know, the reports of my demise are
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: greatly exaggerated, are those? Can I? Can I say that
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: about the Houston Astros?
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: Are is?
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I know they've got pitching injury issues and that seemed
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: to be the biggest problem in this four game series
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: with Seattle. But are we are we seeing the demise
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: of what has been the perennial contender in the ale
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: West at all? Give us give us some feel good
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: out here in Seattle, Joe, I don't.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: Think there's any question that's the case. If you actually
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: look at this team and say, what did you expect
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: coming into the year, say five Orge, the team without
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: a lot of upper level deaths. That death is immediately
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: be tested with the injuries to Hater in the bullpen,
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: with the injuries to am I Brown and Hobbyer in
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: the rotation, and now you know Jeremy Canyon and James
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Myers and had nothing to back that. I remember last
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: year they missed the playoffs because of injuries to too
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Vy mid season, Alvaree for much of the season, Hater
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: at the end of the season. So this is a
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: repeatd last year with a year a year older, they're
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: a year center. I don't think they're six and eleven team.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: I do think that they don't get brown hobbyer in
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: my back. They are possibly one of those peas in
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: America legecause they just, like I said, call me a
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: Cody bolt Cody Bolton, and there are Gaty's back. I
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: like him well enough, but you're talking about kind of
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: blanking and even number five is going to be at
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: this point for them. So it's ugly. And the guys
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: who are pitching have been bad. Lanson callers got off
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: to that really good start. He's been terrible since Mike
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Burrows got knocked around by you guys last night the booth.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: It's just been terrible. I hated Bryan a Breda, who's
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: been their closer in lieu of hater before, and she's
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: gotten blown to pieces early in the season and they
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: don't really have anything behind him. So, you know, is
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: this finally the year that gets them to say we
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: have to start over any hard because you know, they've
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: got the older guys in Walker and Paritas, they've got
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: a star and Pain, they've got a star in Alvarez.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: I think it's a difficult team to tear down partially
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: if you have to put Alvarez on the market. If
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: you want to do this, I'll two big ten and
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: five guy. Doubt he'll ever be traded. You've let so
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: much talent go in recent years and not really replenished it.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Maybe you have finally gotten to the point. Look, I
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: think the win in twenty two was a Polish win,
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: like they were great and twenty two I didn't expect
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: them to have that in them, but they've just taken
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: a step back in each of the last three years
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: and now it could be a deep backwards iss.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's it's aged. You know, father time
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't lie, right, you know. And al Tuvey kind of
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: fallen asleep on the base pass the end of the
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: day was I don't know, in some ways kind of emblematics.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I'm a symbolic of where they are. It's just kind
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: of a little bit lost team which has not been
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: that way. One and nine on the road, which is
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: funny because the other team that's had just I mean,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: look at the worst road records, and I know it
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: means not much in your stat world, Joe, but I
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: find it interesting they're one and nine on the road,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: the other team with just one road win so far
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: this season. The Seattle manors at one and five and
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: they go to San Diego tonight to take on the Podres.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Who's this dude that pitches for them? Is he Good Miller?
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I think is his name.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: It's the first time I considered the possibility that a
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: reliever could bring me signing one sometime. Absolutely. I wrote
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: about him last Monday, and I think he struck out
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: like eleven to twelve batter since I wrote about him,
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: just absolutely dominated, great velocity of the unhittable slide. And
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: you go back to when he first got to San
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: Diego at the trade deadline, and I thought they'd overpaid
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: for him. We did leands degrees and a number of
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: pitching process is what they traded for him to bring
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: is the top five prospects in the game, to be
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: a very good shortstop for the age. But to the
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: extent that you can validate trading for a relief pitcher,
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: Miller has basically validated that's training was graty in the
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: last year. Obviously they made the playoffs for him. I
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: got to an incredible start this year. I think we
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: want to appreciate him while he's doing this. Relievers burn
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: hot and fast. You know, we think about Marianna Rovera,
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: he was the exception to the rules. That's like Joe Nathan,
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Trevor Hoffan ha had long careers. I think max strikeout
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: guys tend to burn hot and fast. And you know,
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: mill is really in his third year being this guy.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: You think about a guy Craig Kimbrel who who was
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: able to do it for that, you know that length
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: of time with all pictures who throw like this every
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: pitch kind of sweated. But in this moment, we're seeing
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: one of the most dominant short stretches of any picture ever.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: It's just let's appreciate it. Walman's here and Willy's healthy,
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: because we just don't see a whole lot of guys
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: strike out seventy five percent of the batters their face.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: I mean not since I was pitching in Litleague.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Seven and a third innings, nineteen strikeouts, one hit, and
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: one walk. And I think what you wrote about last
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: week was it is it like a third of his
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: pitches or over one hundred miles an hour, Like yep, that's.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: And it's not just exactly he's got this really nasty
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: slider as well. It's just you're sitting up there, Okay,
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: do I do Do I prep for one oh two
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: or do I prep for the ninety four that's going
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: to break away? It's an impossible decision. So yeah, kind
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: of so bad for hitters. Walking back to the yeah
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: mentioned seven to the third inning, So twenty nineteen of
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: the twenty two outs they've gotten and been on strikeout.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: I believe when I and these are going to be
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: slightly out of day, and I know at one point
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: just one guy hit the ball out of the out
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: out of the interview.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: God, I mean, that's just it's I mean, so here's
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: the moral of the stories. Don't don't go down and
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: play the San Diego Padres and find yourself trailing or
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: in a one run game when you go to the
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: ninth inning, because it's not going to be pretty for
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: you along the way. It just I want to go
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: back to something you mentioned Rivera. How different it was.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I you know what we all like
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: to hate the Yankees and everything like that and all that.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: When Mariotto Rivera was throwing though, it was what was
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the slider? What was his pitch or change up. What
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: was his pitch that was the ghost Yeah, the Cup fastball,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: and if I remember, I don't know what he threw
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: velocity wise, but it just it was the movement and
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the placement in the location right that that's what made
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: him great.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: Yes, I mean good velocity for his era, but it
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: was the movement and his commanded it that it was
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: one of the you know, one of the toughest right
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: handers on left handed hitters in baseball history. And you know,
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: he was at an athlete, and you know, it was
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: a little bit of luck involved. You know, I've come
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: around the idea that you know, we don't know whose
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: elbow is necessarily going to pop, and to some extent
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: it's just luck. You know, is your ucl four millimeters
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: versus the other guy that's three millimeters. So there was
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: some luck in vombment. The one year that Mariano Rivera missed,
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: it was because he blew out of leave shaggy flies
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: and the city the arm the arm held up all
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: the way. So you know, a lot of luck involved
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: in that. But that one unhittable pitch and also the
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: post season track record of being able to go two
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: winnings for a month that was a big part of
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: the league. But I just he was the perfect relief
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: pitcher for fifteen years.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: What are we going to see from this Padres team?
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: They're ten and six and anywhere else they'd be just
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: rolling along. They got a team that's twelve and four
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: in their division we might have heard of. What what
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: else we need to know about the San Diego Padres.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: I mean the Padres to me, the talent base is
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: a little bit less than has been with Gavacado and
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: Bogart's both getting old. The thirty three now it's not
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: a young team even even you know for now that
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: such he's junius when someone else, so they see that
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: as peaking hasn't really been the same guy. They went out,
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: They tried to back up the bench at Pasiano and
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: Tigh friends not that impressive. The team they want to
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: be up three to one in the seven. I mean,
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: that's their whole model right now. And actually be talking
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: about Miller. They're going to be down Jeremiah Strada, who
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: is absolutely dominant for them last year. You're gonna be
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: out for a little bit. They did just get Jason
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: the domback, so you know their model is, let's be
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: up three to two, and you're not gonna be able
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: to beat us. They're a little thin right now to
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: pull that off. But as you said earlier, if you're
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: not leading in the eth and in it's gonna be
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: very hard to beat them. It's it's a model that
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: can absolutely work. But you know, they're not a team
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: that's going to go out and score six one tonight.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: They just don't have that kind of offense anymore. They're
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: really we're going to play a lot of the story games.

• 29:32
  Speaker 1: the clock for five. All right, we'll do that coming
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: up next.
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: You're gonna crack me.
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: This is the daily power Play we're hoping for the
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: Kraking Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M.
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: The Daily power Play is brought to you by Sakwa.
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: The log just inventory of Kamoda equipment in Kane County.
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: Now your daily look at the National Hockey League and
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: the Seattle Kraken with the Infernets.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Daily power Player Home for the Krack and I have
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: three point three k FM. Two games left to go
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: in the season. They will play the cracking that is
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: tomorrow in Vegas against the Golden Knights and then wrap
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: up the season on Thursday against the Colorado Avalanche. A
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: couple of things. One, you don't want to point any
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: of these games. It's as simple as that, Yes, I
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: know it's it's just I know rooting against your team
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: is not what you people want. I get all that.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I understand that. It just don't want to point.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think there's a difference between trying to
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: lose and just not making it a priority.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean. And that's the problem in
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: the National Hockey League. Not the problem, it's the difference
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: between the NHL and the NBA. Yes, these teams will
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: not that's not what they're going to do, right. Sales
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: got two games left, They're one point ahead of Toronto.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Toronto's got one game left in the game they're playing.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I play Ottawa maybe, and I think that still matters Toronto.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: So chances are seat one, two, three, four, or five
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the Sales going to finish sixth more than likely. I
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: would say this, I guess if Toronto loses its last game,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I think they play before Seattle plays on Thursday. Then
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: go ahead and win in Thursday. With the hell, it
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter at that point, right, why not win one game?
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Go for it.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I just top five a lot better chance to get
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: yourself a yeah. Yeah, right. Toronto wants to lose more
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: than Seattle. And here's why they have a top five
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: protected draft pick, so they slipped a six that's not
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: protected anymore. Now the lottery could come into play in
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: almost there's a lot going on here. So yeah, okay,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Vegas and then Colorado coming up now the next two days.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: They lost last night to La La clinch the playoff
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: spot in the process, thanks as well to the lost
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: by Nashville earlier in the day. So I say, I
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: we'll miss the playoffs again. We'll get in all that
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: later on Deeper Dive and all those fun things. They
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: did make a move today. They called up Yannie Newman
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: did the Kraken from Coachella Valley and sent Jacob Malanson
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: an Oscar Fisker mulgard back down to Coachella Valley.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I think this is in that same category that we
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: were just talking about, right.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: No, it's roster gymnastics for HL playoffs. Oh that too, Okay, gotcha.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I'm believe that's. I think that they had to I
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: think that they had to get I'm not sure there's
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: because Jacob's been up for a long time. The Oscars
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: moliguard has been up for a long time, so I
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: believe that would be roster gymnastics to make sure those
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: guys can play down in the in the HL playoffs. Fisker,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Molgard and Malanson. I don't know what Malanson has to
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: do down there necessarily, but maybe they want to get
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: an offense going a little bit.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: I like bringing Yanni up too, just just kind of
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: He's had a good offensive last couple.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Of months in Coachella line, yeah, and I want to
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: see him up here. Can's out for the rest of
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: the season, So where you go anyway, We'll let We'll
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: let Crack in this morning deal with that. Mike Bett
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: the there's a story that that came out and I
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: want to touch it on this real fast because in
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: our Daily Power played back to by Issaquahana Cabota. Nick
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Kiprios is former NHL player. He's on sports Net, which
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: is one of the two sports networks in Canada. Does
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: national stuff, pretty dialed in, did a wrote something, talked
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: about it on the air as well. Says many eyebrows
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: were raised when Ron Francis stepped down as president of Seattle.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Crack and Elliott Friedman of sports Net spoke on his
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: thirty two Thoughts show about the split between Francis and
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: others in the organization over the hiring of Dan Bilsma
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: as head coach in twenty twenty four. Francis was leaning
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: towards other candidates, such as Todd McClellan or Dean Evison.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: He even preferred Joel Quinnville. Ownership had no interest. I
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: know that Quinnville was a guy he was looking at.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: He's now coaching Anaheim and the ownership and they're like,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: no champion. Kebash on that one for people to know.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: He's coaching the Ducks got to the playoffs. Quinnville did,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: but was part of the Chicago Blackhawks organization when they
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: had all kinds of issues with abuse, just some bad
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: things going on. It was on his watch the guy
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: can coach. I don't blame the cracking at all. Sometimes
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: you know what it is better to pass and for
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: everything that they have done and what they stand for
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: as an organization, I think bringing that person in is
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: counter intuitive to what you're doing and who what you're basically,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: what your mission statement is, yeah, and what you're building. Yeah.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think that would be a Sam Hall theway higher. Ever,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: the other ones are interesting. McClellan, yeah, Dean Evison m HM,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: who knows they got the right guy, Lambert. Last year
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: was a wasted year.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Files But but it does say here that the organization
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: subsequently went with Bottrell's recommendation of biles Man right last year, right,
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: So that was a botterroll this year.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: That was it was. It was a Bot's decision. Anyway,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: you can read the article. I'll retweet it out. I
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: think it's interesting just because it's what we have been
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: talking about. What I've been talking about all year, that
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Francis really didn't have much power. Kipriols confirmed here last week.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: You might have heard some things that, oh you know
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: now now Bots can do his own thing. Well, he's
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: been doing his own thing for two years.
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: So.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: The audit can't wait for the audit to happen. I
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: hope they don't audit the broadcast. That's all because Betan
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: will be in big trouble, not even for I had
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: a contract Withdy.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: That piece of paper saves folks.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: You know what it says day to day, decent chance.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: I'll be doing games for the ECHL affiliate in Kansas
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: City next year. Rich. I need to be remote. Why
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I got sent down to the coach. I am now
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: doing pre and postgame on YouTube for the Kansas City
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: mem nice bringing Scott Malon, my producer with me. Allison
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: gets to stay here. She's fine. Brett, he's doing games
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: of coache God, send me to Coachella. Yeah, you know what,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: now that I think of it, you guys think I
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: need some seasoning. I'm ready to go down to Coachella.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: I am ready to go and the thundercook Chicken now
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: the only guy that would be upset with that to
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: be benting. What have I done? I don't know what
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: did I do wrong? Nothing? Mike, you're going to Coachella.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: It's sunny, it's eighty five degrees. Take it. Go work
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: on your craft, which would be for me on the
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: golf course. Anyway. We will talk more about that as
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: days go on. I think we're gonna be out there,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: coming up later this week and maybe next week as well,
• 36:54

• 39:53
  Speaker 8: I stayed in the same Wait a minute, I ate
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: at the same resort that Diana Rossini and Mike Ye
• 40:00
  Speaker 8: we're at. I could not afford the place. It's a
• 40:02
  Speaker 8: about five thousand dollars a night. This place it's called Ambiente.
• 40:07
  Speaker 8: It's in Sedona, Arizona. And here's the amazing party told
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: this story the other day. There was no girls weekend.
• 40:14
  Speaker 8: There was no any There was nothing like that because
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: this place, it's not a hotel. You drive up there,
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: especially with me and I was in a suit, look
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: really nice. They take your car.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Right away valet.
• 40:26
  Speaker 8: Then when you when you're on premise, because it's it's
• 40:28
  Speaker 8: all this hills and it's way back against these red rocks.
• 40:32
  Speaker 10: It's absolutely beautiful.
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: Every room it's not a hotel, it's like a cabin
• 40:36
  Speaker 8: and it's glass windows from ceiling to floor because you're
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: looking out at these it's a real spiritual place. But
• 40:43
  Speaker 8: it's it's very very romantic. It's just it's it's incredible.
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: It's that's what people go there for. You know, I
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: was down the street, but we go to this restaurant
• 40:52
  Speaker 8: and they take you in a cart straight from there.
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: There's no parking lot, and then there's security everywhere. So
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: my point is is that like you can't walk that place.
• 41:00
  Speaker 8: You can't, like you go to your room, they take
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: in a golf cart and then like the next room
• 41:05
  Speaker 8: isn't even near you, like look it up online. This
• 41:08
  Speaker 8: place is amazing. So first of all, they were on
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: a romantic rendezvous. And the second part is this was
• 41:15
  Speaker 8: a hit job because you can't like you couldn't walk
• 41:18
  Speaker 8: around there with a camera anything.
• 41:19
  Speaker 10: There's these hills and mountains, Like I.
• 41:21
  Speaker 8: Said, they're all like red rock, like if you're in
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: the Grand Canyon. That's what this is like, it's unreal.
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: And so somebody had to have like perched themselves on
• 41:29
  Speaker 8: one of these rocks way up and away with a big,
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: big camera lens, which is that's what those pictures look like,
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: and somebody had to have tipped them off and this
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: so this was like a pro hit job. We're gonna
• 41:38
  Speaker 8: sell the photos. Like I was amazed by it because
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: I was like, I was just there. Here's the other part.
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: I've never paid more for a meal in my life.
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: It was like the seven course thing was overly fancy
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: and you're still hungry afterwards. So the guy hands me
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: the bill. It's fifteen hundred bucks, and I thought, I
• 41:58
  Speaker 8: swear to you, I'm not kidd ya. I thought that
• 42:01
  Speaker 8: he had like there was like I thought, because I'm
• 42:03
  Speaker 8: older and i'm you know, like thirty five, and like
• 42:06
  Speaker 8: there like one on that Like I'd like they put
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: an extra one up.
• 42:11
  Speaker 10: I asked the guy.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: I go, wait a minute.
• 42:13
  Speaker 8: I goes, this is supposed to be five one hundred
• 42:15
  Speaker 8: or fifteen, and he goes suh, Like he was so
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: embarrassed for me that I even had to ask him
• 42:20
  Speaker 8: it was fifteen hundred bucks. I almost fell on the floor.
• 42:24
  Speaker 8: I was like, can I wash them dishes? So my
• 42:26
  Speaker 8: point is is that this isn't a place where you
• 42:28
  Speaker 8: like happen stance or it's a girls weekend, or this
• 42:32
  Speaker 8: is a romantic place that like the riff raft like
• 42:35
  Speaker 8: me should be nowhere near that's where they were. Well,
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: this place, yeah, it was portrayed as like and there was.
• 42:46
  Speaker 8: It was funny because that, you know, the first pictures
• 42:48
  Speaker 8: came out, and then the next pictures came out, well
• 42:51
  Speaker 8: not the next pictures came out. Then then there's like
• 42:53
  Speaker 8: this for a while, people trying that, Like an AI
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: think came out where people put a bunch of photoshops,
• 42:57
  Speaker 8: a bunch of friends in.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: You know, I saw that. They're like, oh see, it's
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: all garbage. It made it look like it was like
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: a pool party. Actually, the ones with the friends when
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: they said, oh see, they cut them all out, which
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: was fake. Actually, the funny thing is that was the
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: fake one that made it look like a kind of
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: like a pool in Vegas, like oh yeah, we're here
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: at Caesar's Palace at the pool or wherever, and a
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: bunch of people hanging out Like that's how it was.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: And even really, if we're being honest, all the Arizona
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: it was kind of portrayed as they're at a resort,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: it's a pool, everyone's kind of hanging out whatever. After
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: the meetings, that's how it's portrayed. What you're telling us
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: is a that's not the kind of place. This is
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: b not even close. See that's the other thing. Like
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: so someone's here to get.
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: Like like what you're what you're describing as Scottsdale, right,
• 43:43
  Speaker 8: that's a resort place. There's lots of people, lots of
• 43:46
  Speaker 8: you know, lots of stuff going on like that, people
• 43:47
  Speaker 8: are partying. This is a place for like people with
• 43:50
  Speaker 8: a lot of money.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: They don't want to be.
• 43:51
  Speaker 8: Bothered their security. Everywhere you literally have to and there's
• 43:54
  Speaker 8: not a parking lot. Like your car comes up, they
• 43:56
  Speaker 8: take it from you. Then they put you in a
• 43:58
  Speaker 8: golf cart and they drive you down and like I said,
• 44:00
  Speaker 8: it's like this spiritual place. And they drive you down
• 44:03
  Speaker 8: to one of these cabins that's a glass cabin.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: That's incredible. And then that's it.
• 44:07
  Speaker 10: Like and then if you want something, you've got it.
• 44:09
  Speaker 8: You know, they'll come back, they'll come get you, they'll
• 44:11
  Speaker 8: pick you up, they'll take you to the restaurant. There's
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: a couple of small pools. But I mean it's just
• 44:15
  Speaker 8: like I said, I was in a really nice suit,
• 44:17
  Speaker 8: as good as I could do, and it was dark out,
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: so they let me in if I was on like
• 44:21
  Speaker 8: a T shirt and like just the hotel, they're like, yeah,
• 44:24
  Speaker 8: they'd just would like get out of here. They'd give
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: me like order and be on your way, like there's
• 44:28
  Speaker 8: no way.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, so when.
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: I saw the pictures, I was when I saw this store,
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: I'm like, oh, they're busted, Like they're they're totally busted.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: And this was a hit job.
• 44:36
  Speaker 8: I mean that's what it was.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the two things that We'll get to the hit
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: job in a second. I think the other thing is
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: it's interesting is that like I I you know, you're
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: you're at the Athletic. You're probably doing okay financially, But
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: I mean I I'll have to ask we have to
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: ask Brewer, you know, or or funston Er what we've got,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: you know, Sando we got we have a bunch of guys,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: a whole trio of dudes that we have on our
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: station all the time that work at the Athletic. I
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: don't like, I don't think Yeah, I mean, I think
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Athletic does well. Like if you're up with them, check
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: with do Guar, check with do Guar. See what he's making.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Can he afford that place covering the Seahawks every day?
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: That's so, then what tells me is he's obviously he's
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: obviously paying for it right, Like that's right right.
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: And dude, I pay fifteen hundred for a meal and
• 45:18
  Speaker 8: we had a couple of drinks. They brought it. It was
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: like a seven course thing, but like it's one of
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: those places where like I had lobster bisk but but
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: it came on a fancy spoon like that was it.
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: And they and they brought it. They brought like a
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: wag you filet. But it was like one bite with
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: some fancy sauce and the little carrot by it like that.
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: I mean that's the kind of place it is. And
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: they charged me fifteen hundred all right.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: So what it all in all seriousness just for a second,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: because like I I'm sure you've talked to people in
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: the like I texted a friend of mine last night.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Female not just by the way that's in the business.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: I am a female. You are a female that's well established.
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: Do you know any other females decide your wife and
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: Jess that no other woman will.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: He's got some allies, believe I've been around.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Quote was must have changed? The whole thing pisses me
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: the blank off. And it's not like I hadn't heard
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: stuff about her already. Sets us all back and makes
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: all of our jobs harder. That's what I got from
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: somebody done.
• 46:21
  Speaker 10: Yeah, she she she's done.
• 46:23
  Speaker 8: Like she can't go I mean unless she's gonna go
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: to barstool.
• 46:25
  Speaker 10: Or something like that. Like she can't, she no credibility.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: But see if she goes to barstool, then she's got
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: to She's got to. She's got to go all in, right,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Like she's got to go all in. And the fact
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: that she's running around or doing whatever, and and and
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: that's how I just there's a part of me just
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: because we know her. I don't know if you know this.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Like she worked here for a while, she was she
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: did Like her first job on air was doing updates
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: on Comcast Sports at Northwest Rink Softy Show of all
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Things back in like twenty ten, twenty eight, two thousand
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: and eight, something like that, oh eight o nine and
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: uh and and like her raw was her eyes from
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: that to weekend and then Maine Anchor and DC and
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: then ESPN was something I've never seen it in the business.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like that.
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: And I thought always, hey, good for her. She works hard.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: I've always liked her, got along with her. She's fine.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: But there's always been rumors. I mean, the Scott McLuhan's
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: wife through the stuff out there, right and I think
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: what it does, You're right, she's not. I don't know
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: how she comes back from this. I think her better
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: option would have been to fight it, to be honest
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: with you, but if you know, if you're not fighting
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: it probably means you're guilty. To be honest with you
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: because because if you don't fight it and you don't
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: prove it to be wrong, more than likely it's true.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: And again there were other rumors before. She also makes
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: other people's jobs harder. Now Listen, people will say, well,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: guys do it all the time. If I'm watching, We've
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: got espn R right now, Sham's is on there right now.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Like relationships are everything, as far as breaking sports and
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: news and all those things. Rap has it, Schefter has it,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Shams has it, and you know guys in the NHL,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Seavelli and those guys have it. But it's a little
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: different if you're female and you're using other shall we
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: say assets? Correct?
• 48:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Look, I'm not saying it's fair because it's not.
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: I mean, the worst thing that's going to happen to
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: Mike grabel Is. It's going to be like a cold
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: Play deal. Right, He's gonna get divorced. She's gonna get divorced.
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: That's too bad. And Mike rabel is still going to
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: coach the Patriots and behind the scenes, guys are going
• 48:17
  Speaker 8: to be high five in him. I mean, that's it's
• 48:18
  Speaker 8: not fair. I'm just telling you the facts. And she's
• 48:21
  Speaker 8: going to have a really hard time getting a job
• 48:23
  Speaker 8: in this industry ever again because she's lost her credibility.
• 48:26
  Speaker 8: It's not fair. But she's got to know that before.
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: And again, look, this is just my opinion because like
• 48:31
  Speaker 8: I said, I've been to this place and I know
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: what it is, and I know what it.
• 48:34
  Speaker 10: Isn't and it just screams that.
• 48:37
  Speaker 8: And believe me, by the way, it's not like you
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: just jump up there like you're mentioning what Scottsdale is.
• 48:41
  Speaker 8: You know, that's that's within Phoenix, where they're where they
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: well they were there, that's that's where they were. Is
• 48:45
  Speaker 8: really scott Stale. But Sedona's two and a half hours
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: from Phoenix. Like they had to make a concerted effort
• 48:51
  Speaker 8: to say, let's go to this romantic, spiritual land together
• 48:54
  Speaker 8: in this way high end place and so that you know,
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: it just looks really bad and it's not fair because yeah,
• 49:01
  Speaker 8: it's going to cost Mike Grabel a lot of money,
• 49:03
  Speaker 8: but it's not going to cost him his career.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: This is going to cost her her career. Yeah, I don't.
• 49:06
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you bounce back for it. And
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: also I'll listen. I think it's a fascinating conversation on
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of levels. You can even just take Diana
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: out of it and put others in. And I you know,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: I've told the story before when when you know, covering
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks and you know, back when you and I
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: first started running into each other again after a few years,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: when you were in the Bay Area and I was
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: doing Seahawks and you I guarantee you saw the same
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: stuff I did. I thought it was crazy what I saw,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Like Josina Anderson and Britt McHenry, like I we all
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: kind of looking around, going, come on, man, what are
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: we doing here?
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: Like like Josina was routinely unprofessional and inappropriate and also mean.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she was all those.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: I am all for women in this industry, but I
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: can admit when someone's a jerk.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and so you always gott to wonder what's going on.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: But it's it's uh, it's unfortunate, man, because like you said,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: I I said. The funny thing is I said the
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: same thing last segment, Raybel it'll cost him money, maybe
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: it cost him his marriage. Who knows, won't cost him
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: his career, Like it definitely won't cut because that's the
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: that's the that's the standard we live with. For a female,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: it's going to cost her career. I just have to
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: go back. Like McLuhan's wife who was told to take
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: down the tweets, right, you know about about Diana, what
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: is she thinking right now? Like uh, okay, really okay, Scott,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: why'd you make me take those down?
• 50:23
  Speaker 10: Exactly?
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: But he was also think about it. He was working
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: for what's his face, the old owner of the Washington
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Redskins slash commanders, Dan Steiner. Yeah, and why was he
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: ousted from the league's right ironic right?
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: And McLuhan's wife is accusing someone of doing that and
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: then she's told to take the text down. So yeah,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: it's uh, it makes it hard. I mean, Carl Silver,
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: your buddies with Mike Silver, ask him if he makes
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: that kind of money where he can afford a room
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: with the glass windows and all that. Working for the
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: out line, I.
• 50:50
  Speaker 10: Know for a fact.
• 50:51
  Speaker 8: I know for and I know Silver really well.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: And he's been everybody knows him.
• 50:54
  Speaker 8: I mean like he's been with the NFL Network, in
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: Sports Illustrated. I mean he's he's running the gamut and
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: and he does well for himself, thank you very much.
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: He ain't going there. Look I couldn't stay there, and
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: look it's not like i'd make any money. But I
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: mean I stayed down the street and tried to fool
• 51:09
  Speaker 8: my wife on Valentine's. They're like, huh, what do you think?
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: And then, like I said, when I got the bill,
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: and she looked at my face and I turned even
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: wider and more pale than I normally do and look
• 51:17
  Speaker 8: and looked very ill. She was like, are you okay?
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: And I'm like, no, I'm not okay, but you know,
• 51:22
  Speaker 8: but you know, it is what it is. But anyway,
• 51:25
  Speaker 8: I know we have other things to discuss. But when
• 51:27
  Speaker 8: I said that she's resigned, I was like, I literally
• 51:29
  Speaker 8: had been there for Valentine's the exact place, and like
• 51:32
  Speaker 8: I said, when I tried to walk out of the
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: restaurant like who wha, wha, whoa, whoa, and they have
• 51:36
  Speaker 8: a cart right there, And like I said, you can't
• 51:38
  Speaker 8: go anywhere without having accountability in that place. And so
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: to think and the reason I say that is to
• 51:43
  Speaker 8: think that you know, they either had a girl's weekend
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: or that you know, this photographer just happened to walking
• 51:48
  Speaker 8: around and get these pictures.
• 51:50
  Speaker 10: It's not like that. It wasn't like that at all.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: And like I said, somebody had.
• 51:53
  Speaker 8: To know something to say, hey, go, you know, follow
• 51:57
  Speaker 8: them up there, get these pictures. We're going to sell
• 51:59
  Speaker 8: these pictures. I mean, like I said, this is a
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: professional deal.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: You know what. I'll wrap it up with this one
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: of the funniest things I ever saw. I think we
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: were in god, we're in Carolyn know, Minnesota? Maybe I
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: think we're in Minnesota. And remember Britt McCanny who works
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: I think she works like Fox News now or something, yeah, yeah, something, Yeah,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: she's a neapology Britt mccannery. And from me old ESPN
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: person who who got Alica because of her? Do you
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: not know who I am? Thing to the parking a
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: lot attendant, which.
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: Was just a clean I used that a lot.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: I use that a lot.
• 52:30
  Speaker 10: It gets me.
• 52:30
  Speaker 8: It gets me a lots of places when you're when
• 52:32
  Speaker 8: you're a D lister and you say, don't you know
• 52:34
  Speaker 8: who I am?
• 52:35
  Speaker 10: That that kind of usually works in reverse.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if I were to say that, people just ask
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: me to leave, like I don't know who you are
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: and you can just leave right now. But no, she uh,
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Britt McKenny came up and it was the best, like
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: we all knew, like and it wasn't just her. I
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: will say other I'm gonna really I'm gonna stereotype here.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. There are other female reporters that did this
• 52:55

  Speaker 1: talents the bonus's face, right, because then because I was,
• 55:41

• 55:59
  Speaker 8: You and I might be the thing I was around

  Speaker 8: him so much, that whole team and that thing where
• 56:03
  Speaker 8: Damian got busted for the weed and like the whole
• 56:06
  Speaker 8: like that's it, like day after day. I got grabbed
• 56:08
  Speaker 8: by the neck by Sean Kemp one time, and I
• 56:10
  Speaker 8: mean it just they I don't even know the stuff
• 56:12
  Speaker 8: they know. But you know how Portland is. It's the
• 56:15
  Speaker 8: It's the strip, highest per capita strip club in the place,
• 56:18
  Speaker 8: in the whole nation. And he wasn't supposed to be
• 56:21
  Speaker 8: at a strip club. The NBA had just told him
• 56:22
  Speaker 8: no drinking, no strip clubs. And I remember we I
• 56:25
  Speaker 8: don't know why I must have stumbled into one.
• 56:28
  Speaker 10: I'm mostly gotten lost.
• 56:29
  Speaker 8: I don't know what happened. I would never go into
• 56:30
  Speaker 8: a place like that, but I did at looking for
• 56:33
  Speaker 8: directions or something, and I go in there because everybody
• 56:35
  Speaker 8: knew Damon's car and on the on the license plate
• 56:38
  Speaker 8: it literally said Damon and I forgot to know where
• 56:40
  Speaker 8: we were.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: In Portland three I think it's three.
• 56:43
  Speaker 8: So we go walking in there and there's Sean Kemp
• 56:46
  Speaker 8: making it rain.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: And so the next day on my show, what.
• 56:47
  Speaker 10: Do you Think I Do?
• 56:48
  Speaker 8: I talk about Sean Kemp making it rain and how
• 56:50
  Speaker 8: he's not supposed to be in there and all.
• 56:52
  Speaker 10: This kind of stuff.
• 56:52
  Speaker 8: And then I go to cover the game that night
• 56:54
  Speaker 8: and I'm walking down a hallway and I grabbed by
• 56:57
  Speaker 8: the neck from behind. I'm like, oh hey, buddy, and
• 57:03
  Speaker 8: he's like, I heard what you did. And honestly, I
• 57:06
  Speaker 8: just went, Sean, if you want me to be able
• 57:09
  Speaker 8: to quit my career and you want to punch me
• 57:11
  Speaker 8: in the face right ahead, And he didn't want to
• 57:12
  Speaker 8: do that. He just wanted to intimidate me and said,
• 57:14
  Speaker 8: you know, stay out of my business. And I'm like, Sean,
• 57:17
  Speaker 8: you're in a public place, in a strip club, like, dude,
• 57:21
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry, man, you think there.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Was no big deal from there.
• 57:24
  Speaker 8: I mean, I'm not trying to say he like, you know,
• 57:26
  Speaker 8: grab me and like threw me against a wall or something.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: That's not what happened.
• 57:29
  Speaker 8: But he he did try to like intimidate me, which
• 57:31
  Speaker 8: come on, man, at that point, he wasn't he wasn't
• 57:34
  Speaker 8: rain man like in Seattle. No, he was like dope, man,
• 57:37
  Speaker 8: I mean he was dude. He had a different dude.
• 57:39
  Speaker 8: I mean he was over three hundreds gone.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: He was gone. The next year when I got there,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: I had, Yeah, I I well, I didn't see a trailer.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: I did have to chuckle. I saw Colin Coward, who
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: never went inside that locker room in his life, never never.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: He we worked with him. He's at the same station
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: as us. He did the morning show with John and I.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: He never went in that lock so I don't know
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: what he's going to be giving you insight on Canzano
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: got there. Canzono got there the exact same week I
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: got there in November of two, so he only covered
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: one year of the True jail Blazers because really it
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: was over after that next year they lost in that
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: playoff series to Dallas and Rashid got traded halfway through
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: the next season. So it was about a year and
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: a half later is when Sheid got trade because he
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: got traded. I told the story, Rashid. I was with

  Speaker 1: We would have had a lot better stories, for sure.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 10: Well.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 8: The only person, I mean, the number one when you're
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 8: watching that thing, the number one guy he knew everything
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 8: was Jason Quick Quick. The guy was like he was quick,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 8: was just dialed into everything.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: One quick note a side Jason Quick is Ryan Divish
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: is our Ryan Divish? Basically yeah, he's awesome.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean and he and he would say stuff
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 8: and it would piss off the Blazer.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 8: One one side and a side note to this thing
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 8: because I can't remember where I go because I've been to.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 10: So many places.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 8: I I was, I was, that was, I was going
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 8: to Detroit because guess who got traded to the Pistons
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 8: and guess who walked.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: In the locker room?
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 10: Remember me orceived he went?
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 8: I got no, I don't know anything.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 10: I've covered you for years.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 8: But he was a nicer guy there because he didn't
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 8: have to talk yet Auntie Billups, he had Rip Hamilton,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 8: you had Ben Wallach. Rashid was a totally different person
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 8: in Detroit because he was like the fourth or fifth option.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 8: Nobody thought he was gonna score twenty and grab ten
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 8: and he didn't care. So he was actually cool in Detroit.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: But anyway, did they Yeah, you've got to I did see.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: I see. But there's one I'll tell the story next.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: I'll tease this ahead. There was a night we're standing
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: there in post game and Rashid was standing there and
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: you know, not talking any He wouldn't do post game interviews.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: He was he was Marshawan, but he was a jerk
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: like Marshawn you just knew, and Marshall would kind of
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: give you a look and stuff like like kind of
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: chuckle like knew he's messing with you. Rahid just was angry.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: And one time Canzono, probably a month after Canzano got there,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: like again, I don't live been there a month too,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: we got the same time. Canzono said he's gonna I'm
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to him like and he's like he's like,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go talk to him. I don't care good look,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: and he sat there and talked like try to ask
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: him all these questions where she just was gonna a stare.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: And to his credit, Zach Randolph came over of all
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: people and told kenzon goes, hey, you know what, it's
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: just better you walk away, like just kind of like
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: kind of like a little warning like this could get bad,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: like could get bad.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 10: So that ye I'll give you.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 8: I'll give you one really cool thing that he's done. Though,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 8: you're exactly right, he is that guy. But there was
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 8: a guy and some people might remember he was an
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 8: old co host of mine, and you know who he is.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 8: When I was up in Portland, his name was Kenny
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 8: Van and Kenny covered the Blazers forever and people liked
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 8: Kenny because I'm not saying Kenny was big but Kenny
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 8: was really, really, really big.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 10: And for some reason, Rashid took a shine to him.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 8: And really liked him. And we were out one night
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 8: at a place. You know, this place and a lot
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 8: of people do, and I don't even know it's still
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 8: around called Hubers and the guys. It's in downtown Portland,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 8: and all the guys liked to go their post game
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 8: and it was a really good time. They make those
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 8: Spanish coffees there and stuff table tied.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: But anyway, long.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 8: Story short, Kenny might have had three or five or
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 8: ten too many of those, and to his credit, he
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 8: passed out and nobody could move Kenny. I mean we're talking,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 8: you know, easy four hundred bills, And Rashid Wallace picked
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 8: Kenny up, put him over his shoulder, dragged him out
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 8: to his car, wow.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 10: And and called a cab for him.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 8: And it was like, yeah, I mean, that's that's the
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 8: only good Samaritan thing I ever saw him do. But
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 8: because I don't know what, you know, Kenny was just
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 8: kind of this jolly guy that people liked. But Rashid
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 8: like was in Hubers with his boys and picked Kenny
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 8: up and got him into a cab. I was like, Wow,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 8: that's pretty impressive.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: It's also he's a feat of strength. It's pretty remarkable too,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: because I know, you know, dude.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 8: He is like easy four hundred and I'm probably shorten
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 8: it by behind.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Rashid did that. Rashid did do the Coad Drive every
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: year or two, which was pretty cool, which I did.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: I saw that. But yeah, I can't wait to watch this.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about it next week because you and I
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: could share some stories. The time Bonzie almost beat up
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: a big red the ap writer that was fun too,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: So all right, we'll talk about all that.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 8: Damon Stodemeyer left two pounds of weed on a counter.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: I hope they talk about this.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 8: Two pounds of weed on a counter when they were
• 1:03:45

• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was Atlanta. Somebody to text in. Rashid
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: went from Portland to Detroit. It was Atlanta, then he
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: went to Detroit. After that, I think it is what
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: it was. He think Detroit he Atlanta traded it before
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: the deadline. I'm not mistaken. Twenty two years ago, twenty
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: two years ago, twenty four years ago, twenty one years ago,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: because it was fall, it was fall of three, I
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: think is when it was. I don't know. Maybe you
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: guys telling me four nine four or five one London.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: I could literally tell Blazer Jail Blazer stories for hours.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: And I know it's not our team, but it was
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: at the time kind of a rival.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Sonics were very much there and it.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: Was only geographical arrival you had.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: Man, if you guys remember that there was the playoff
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: series they had witch it's last year because which it
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: stepped down after the two thousand and two two thousand
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: and three season, Bob stepped down. And when he stepped down,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: it was after the series they played Dallas in the
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: first round. Don Nelson was the coach of the Dallas Mavericks.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: Old school dude came to every press conference postgame with
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: a beer in his hand. And it was a memorable
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: series because Portland fell behind down three to nothing. They
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: came back to tie the series three to three. No
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: team in the NBA at that point had ever been
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: down three to zero and won a series. And I
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: believe it was like a one, like a two seven
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: or a three six, something like that. Yeah, Portland was
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: a decided underdog. Scottie Pippens last year there and they're
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: down three other fours Game seven in that series. It
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: was a series in which Mo Cheeks sang the anthem
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: with the girl Natalie Gilbert, which she forgot the name,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: she forgot the words of the anthem. It's a famous video. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: And I'll give Canzono credit. Man, he's this is where
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: he was a great columnist. We're sitting there and he
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: does that. She does that, and Mo does that, and
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: Moe was a really good dude. Man, I Mauricy's cheeks
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: is a really fun guy. I liked him a lot.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: He's over his skis with that team, but he was
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: a really good human being. He does that canzono. His
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: credit runs downstairs like before the first opening tip off
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: and I sitting next where are you going? I gotta
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: do something. He wrote the most incredible column about it,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: found Natalie fought to her father kept him touched in
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: some follow up columns. Jsually good, but.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: He's a good uh. I would just say, like he
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: connects with his sources.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: Seeing Colin in that thing will be hilarious because he
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: literally never stepped foot inside that locker room. I can
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: tell you that.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: No, he was too big for it. Before he was
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: even big.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: It was a big deal. I mean, just asking him,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: that's his big deal. Anyway, Let's see what do we got.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 5: To?
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she played one game to the lane before I
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: go to Detroit. Somebody said, yeah, I think so, how
• 1:08:13
