  Speaker 1: Let me get this out of the way because I
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: got some stuff I want to kind of get going
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: a little bit. If you do postcast last night, there, fella,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: you did, okay?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Good?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: So when the first game of the series three one,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Munno's great Huo hits another home run, bullpen, four shutout innings,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of the story. Yes, I did,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: did the postcasts?
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Did?
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Sorry? I I had Terry Ryan. You know what I'm
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: really starting to enjoy and just for the I guess,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: if nothing else, just the entertainment value by the Edward
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Bizardo experience. Yeah, because you don't. I'm just looking back.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So his last five games here, all right? So last
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: night perfect three one inning, three strikeouts, did have a walk,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: so not quite perfect, but you're fine. Of course, before
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that one inning, two hits, two runs, both earned takes
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the l in that game. The other White Sox game,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: one inning, one hit but no runs, you're okay with
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that Atlanta who one inning, three hits, one run and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: it was earned in that one inning. And in Atlanta
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the other game he was perfect in that had to strikeout.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Bizardo is fun. You're going to be entertained by the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Edward Bizardo experience. Every time he's out there.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: This is reminding me of Rodney.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: It is very roight Fernando Rodney experience, like in a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: sense relievers. It's except for minus the bloodshot eyes at
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Fernando Rodney twenty four to seven.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I did that.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: But I love Bizarto, man, I'm a Bizarto fan. Just
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: count me among the fans.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: The guy.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna be perfect as a reliever you're in,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: especially when you're a high leverage guy, such a volatile position,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: so volatile, and I mean, I just I'm I'm a fan.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I love the dude. Thirty years old. I remember a
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: few years ago and he was about to make his
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: debut up here, and cause this guy, and he's evolved. Man,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: he's improved, he's I love the story. I think it's great.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: He went into last year was like a mop up guy,
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: and by the end of the year you used him
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: in the highest leverage situation of the year.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: But not his not his fault. No, that's a damn thing. Yeah,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: so the other part of it, cal goes over for Yeah, yeah,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it just continues. I mean, that's that's buried in the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: lead someone. It is whatever we will. But that's that's uh,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that's get the win though. That's like, you take at
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: least three or four in this series, you feel a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: lot better about yourself.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: So I wonder, I wonder what the pushback on fans
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: would be. If Cal is hitting like Julio is, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: then Julio is hitting like Cal.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Would be awful. It would be so bad. It'd be
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: so awful because Julio just takes a beating in this town. Yea,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And now I will say that's.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: What superstars do.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Though, no, no, no, no, no, no, he's he he
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: he takes an unfair I don't and we've talked about that.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: It's been a Mollywop discussion point for four years. Yeah,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and it's less this year because he's playing because he's
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: playing on eat. Although his defense is.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Awful, it's not good right now, like.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Like you just can't win. It's like, dude, you went
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: from me an elite gold level caliber at least defensive player.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So that's but he's hitting the ball. Cal does have
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a tough one factor like little
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan going on here just like slides right off,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: No big deal.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: Fine, Well, I mean considering what happened last year, he's
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: kind of got that grease.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Now there are people nationally I love the I love
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the narrative. Now, how is this guy ever considered to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: be an MVP? Well, that was last year. In this year,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: they don't do MVPs based on a cumult of you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: accumulation of years. It's last year he was an MVP period, Like,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: he had an incredible year. This year, he's struggling well
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: for four last night, we talked about that yesterday. He's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: got three games left in that ballpark against bad pitching.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: He's got to get going. Like, if you don't get
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: going against these guys, when who are you to get
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: going against? Right, right, Like, that's that's the thing. Let's

• 6:03
  Speaker 1: You're all done with that. I'm gonna get into Gary
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Parrish on yesterday at two o'clock and just a great conversation.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn into a little bit of topic for
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you guys today in just a couple of seconds. I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: want to hit this first because the and thanks to
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: UH to our buddy Jake Wittenberg over at King five Television.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: He actually uh he cut and pasted basically the story
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: that I wanted to. I don't necessarily want to read it,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: but it was kind of like one of those things
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you can't look away from it. Howard Schultz penned a
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a piece on Seattle and basically it's it's an op
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: ed in the Wall Street Journal was behind a paywall
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Jake posted for everybody to read. Sale turns hostile, the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: great businesses it made. And so Howard Schultz wrote this
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: op at and I looked at it, read it, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. I mean, there's a there's a sports
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that sports el to it. Outside the fact that we
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: all hate Howard and rightfully sol because of what he
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: did to our baseball or our basketball team, which is
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: sell it out from under us. He basically talked about
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: how hard it is to do business in the city
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of Seattle and in the state of Washington. These days now,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: at the risk of making some people here upset or mad,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can deny that we have become
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a very unfriendly city and state for big business. I
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: think I think we could, we should be able to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: agree upon that for a variety of reasons. That is
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: for other radio stations and formats. But but there's no
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: doubt when you see things moving out of here and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: companies that have built their backs on this city and
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: this city's workers, that we have issues in this state
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that are buy and large being ignored by the two
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: most prominent leaders in our state, which would be the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: mayor Seattle, think governor of the state of Washington. Hell.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: The highest gas prices outside of California in the country.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I just feel I have a hybrid sixty dollars today,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: same which just stupid.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: I'm jealous for getting sixty dollars.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Well, luckily you don't drive as far as I do.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Don't that is correct. But you know Howard wrote this,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and again he made some great points in there, but
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: he had a line in there, and Chris Daniels from
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Como brought up something and this is where I'm gonna
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: get to the sports element. A second because outside of
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: me just reading this, going, Howard, I wish it wasn't
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you writing this. I wish it was someone that mattered
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: writing this. You're the former CEO of Starbucks, not the current.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: You live in Miami, not here, but you did build
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Starbucks from the ground up here. You did credit where
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: credit's do. But he had a line in there quote,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: we invest locally, pay taxes, and support civic institutions talking
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: about big businesses. Let me read that again from Howard Schultz.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: We invest locally, pay taxes, and support civic institutions. What
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa? Buddy, forty one years of history,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: you didn't care about a civic institution called the Seattle SuperSonics.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: You didn't want you did not want to invest in it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: You did not want to invest in Key Arena and
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: partner up with. You wanted everything handed to you. But
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: this is what got me because I'm thinking, Okay, I
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: don't like you, Howard. You pissed me off. And what
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: does it really matter though, what Howard Schultz says or writes,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: even in a thing like the Wall Street Journal. Chris
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Daniels pointed this out on a tweet. You could make
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: an argument his op ed is attempting to prevent that
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: public trust from being returned. I e. The Sonics, Howard
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Schultz sold a Seattle public trust to Oklahoma City. You
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: could make an argument his op ed is attempting to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: prevent that public trust from being returned. I don't know
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: if he's attempting to do it intentionally. Only he knows that.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: But what Chris wrote is true if people that Matt
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: you're reading that the Wall Street Journal is read by
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: people that do kind of matter in you know, like
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: in the business world. And when Howard Schultz says, hey,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you can't do business in Seattle or Washington anymore, does
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that hurt our chances for the NBA. I I don't know.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I hope not. But two things jumped out. One the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: absolute gall for a guy that sold the public trust
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to Oklahoma City to call out our city in state.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: And again he's right on a lot of levels. But
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you're not the guy. You're not the messenger we want
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to hear from. We don't have. I watched NBA basketball
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: last night. Yes I did, I did.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: It was an admission of guilts in a lot of ways,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: but I did because I mean, well, first of all,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Marrin game was done early, hockey game was done early.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Basically about the about no about those times those things
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: were done. It was the Lakers in the end. Yeah,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: wells me, father, for I have sinned. I didn't watch
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the NBA last night. I didn't watch the NBA last night.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I watch Oklahoma City and the LA Lakers. God did
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I feel dirty on so many levels? God did I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: feel dirty? That's why I felt dirty?
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Everyone everyone, well not everyone. There's people that don't care
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: about Oklahoma City. You know, they're as much that they
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: would root for them. No, I'm not saying in our city.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I'm saying just across the country. Yeah, because there's still people.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: B LA is still a chant and every NBA arena
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: in the Western Conference. So but wait, I said this
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: before officiating Tony Brothers and the rest of that crew. Wow,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: got Foster? Oh my god? Or what are we doing here?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Chad Holmgren's basically game winning dunk in the paint? How many?
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: How many times? How many steps are you taking? Shuffling
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: in the pain? Like why do we even have rules
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: in the NBA?
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: I and the fact that rules for that and Dwayne
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: Wade on the and the analyst role.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Oh god, I feel so bad for Kevin Harlan. I
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: feel so.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Bad, but Harland did so well.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: Kevin's fine, I'm saying Ken broadcast regardless of his.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's stuck with two people and one of
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: them is incompetent, and that's Dwayne Wade open name and not.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: But and that's just there's nobody in the NBA that's
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: a good analyst. There just isn't.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Like you watch the studio shows for being honest.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: Shows are awesome because they're hysterical.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Which because that postgame on Prime, I've got I've got,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I've got one with that later. We'll get to that
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a different date. I think someone I think we've jumped
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the shark there. But that's that's just their post game
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: is god awful Primes. It's awful. You mean Peacock. No,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: it's on Prime, last Prime. But Dwayne Wade jump around.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade's not good like the Master of the Obvious. Yeah,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: he's very much like the one of the most critical
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: plays he didn't even figure out. Luckily, Candice is like,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: why is really not in the game right now? He's
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: four from eight from three and they need a three,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: which JJ, reddick, are you how much do you get
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: paid to make dumb decisions? You brought a guy off
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the bench, had and played all day, Like what do
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: we do? Anyway? I'm watching, I'm watching the game, and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking of myself. There's so many things, you know,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: chat Holmwards dunks the ball, ends up being the game
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: winner because he's allowed to shuffle his feet in the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: paint eighteen times, No no call made. SGA is a
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: He's an embarrassment. Great player, unbelievable player, like unbelievable skill
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: and it's just a joke. It's so boring to watch it,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: really is. I did and I watched three, three and
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a half quarters. But we don't have the NBA. Why
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: do I Why do I myself to watch something we
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: don't have? Going nothing else on? And what the hell?
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: But I'm watching it and thinking, do I really want
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: this back?
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: The answers, Yes, I do want to back. But Howard
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you're the reason. Dude, So you're telling us the public trust,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you sold a public trust to Oklahoma City. Your former
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: company is trying to move. Why are they moving this?
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Because what you're off edpiece said I was just so
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: conflicted reading this, and again, thanks, I'm glad Jake posted it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I retweeted it so you can read it there. He
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: just cut and pasted it. Screw you Wall Street Journal,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the one won't behind to pay well. It's it's like
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: you're reading this thing, going okay, yeah, who is this
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: guy because he's got great points about what's going on
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: in our city and our Oh it's him. It's the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: guy that sold the public trust. It's the guy that,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: now by writing this as a former NBA owner in
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: this town, could hurt our chances in some ways. Lovely,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Absolutely lovely. There's there's always been this weird thought with
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Howard that maybe maybe he's trying to get himself back involved,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: minority owner, maybe part of the group. Oh my god, Jess,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, no, Jess, I'm telling you. We all
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: say that there is there are a lot of feelings
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes that this is a guy that's trying
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: to position himself.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: To make amends. I don't I think more money.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: No, he makes money off of it. He's making like
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: that's what.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Gave up the team for like forty million dollars.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden you buy back in
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: you're you have like five percent. We're all the same, Okay,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: But there's this is I have heard this a lot.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Don't like it.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Nobody does. I know, I'm just But then I read
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: this today and it's like, well, he doesn't care about
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the NBA here because he just basically told people not
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: to do business in the city of Seattle, in the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: state of Washington. That's what he tell people to do. Well,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: why would the NBA want to do business here? He
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: just wrote this piece in the Wall Street Journal. Will
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: really affect a team coming here? Now, if someone has
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: seven billion dollars or whatever it might be, I'm sure
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the NBA will still come. But doesn't help. I thought
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Chris nailed it. Chris Daniels nailed it. You know, all
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: these years later, Howard Schultz still haunts us. He just does.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: He haunted me last night when I'm watching a league
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: where we don't have a team. He haunted me when
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I read that story this morning.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: You have your own personal ghost.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: It's he's just there. He's just he's overhead. But he
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: is right. We just don't need to hear it from him,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Like if that was coming from Andy Jassey at Amazon. Hey,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: we need to do a better job in the city,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: in the state to support our big businesses. It was
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: coming from him. Okay, you can live with it. And
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: he's already got a part of a team here. He's
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: part of the Craken ownership group. That'll be fine. Not
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: a guy that sold the public trust a civic trust,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: a civic pride in forty one years of history. Then
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: moved in Miami and also no longer runs Starbucks. But
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the only the company he did found them was still
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: take credit for on a day to day basis. He's
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: moving that're moving out of this city too. There's so
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: many conflicts of interest here. There's so many things that
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: just make you just go, h where are we at?
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: What's going on? He's right, but he's wrong. He's the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: wrong guy to say it. That's a simple way. He's right,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: but he's the wrong guy to say anything. And damn you,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: you better not screw this thing up for us. You
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: better not all right when we come back. We talked
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: to Gary Parrish yesterday. The worst idea in sports that
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I can ever remember is coming into fruition. I'm gonna
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: challenge you guys. We're gonna hear from Gary Parrish four
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: nine four to five one to come tout text line
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: four nine four or five one. I'm gonna challenge everybody
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: on the text line, even talkbacks, what what is something
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: comparable to this? The worst idea in sports? And I
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: think and we'll explain a little bit more in detail
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: when we come back. Nine three point three KJFM.
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: Now back Dean Furness on your home for the Huskies
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: Cracking and the Twelfth Man, brought to you by Seattle's

  Speaker 8: ninety three point three kJ r FM.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: All right, we're back hanging around on a Tuesday afternoon.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Four nine four five one is the comb touts text sign.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: We're also on YouTube. Hey YouTube, here we are. Say
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: how do YouTube? Andrews. I had just turned the camera on.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Do that again, hey YouTube, say how do YouTube?
• 18:22
  Speaker 9: Anders Hello?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Hello, welcome, I in fineshow if you're not watching on YouTube,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: go ahead and watch. It's really fun. People want people
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: sitting there talking.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: You can see our facial expressions. It's see when Ian's
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: disgusted with Howard Schultz.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Discussed over a lot of things in this world, city
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: or state, I'm former Sonic owner. I'm going to go
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: on and on and on. Anyway, the NC Double A.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Let's get to them. I'm trying, actually want me do this.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: We're gonna pay this. Play this from Gary Press about
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: six minutes. I was just a little quip from yesterday,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: and we had Gary Honor an NCAA basketball guy, March
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Madness guy of course, Tobs Sports, and Psyche College Basketball.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Big thanks to Nola Brewing for your grocery store. I
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: love those guys. I had Gary. I We've been waiting
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: to make sure, Okay, here we are. We're at that
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: point now where it looks like, for sure this seventy
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: sixteen tournament's going to happen. And instead of having four
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: playoff games play in games over two days, which wasn't
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: that bad. I mean for some of us, we would
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: go to Skalmba casino and there's nothing like betting on
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Texas A and m Agriculture State against Southwest Louisiana Tech
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: or whoever the hell they're playing in a sixteen sixteen matchup.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that. It's fun, good times. Twelve of
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: those way too much. Listen, the tournament is big for
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of reasons, But part of it is because
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: it's so interactive. Nobody that I know of wanted this.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: So I asked Gary Paris yesterday, who and why wants
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: this expansion of the tournament.
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: Well, you can always figure out the why by figuring
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: out who wants it. So who's the first person, you know,
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: a prominence of power who started talking about this in
• 19:56
  Speaker 10: any sort of public way. It was Greg, thank you,
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: the SEC commissioner. So let them trick you into thinking
• 20:01
  Speaker 10: the West Coast Conference push for this and wanted this,
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: that the Missouri Valley Conference pushed for this and wanted this.
• 20:07
  Speaker 10: They might not mind it, but they didn't push for it.
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: And in fact, even if they did push for it, it
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: would matter because they don't have the power. The truth
• 20:13
  Speaker 10: is the SEC and the Big Ten the Big Twelve
• 20:16
  Speaker 10: as well, But really the SEC and the Big Ten
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: have made their already super competitive leagues more competitive in
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: recent years by adding big time athletic departments in the SEC,
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: Texas and Oklahoma in the Big Ten, as you know, Washington, Oregon, USC, UCLA,
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: And what that does in both of those leagues is
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: push every middle of the pack in below program. In
• 20:40
  Speaker 10: the sportmen's basketball down a notch. If you used to
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: finish sixth in the SEC, now you might finish ninth
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: in the SEC. If you used to finish seventh in
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: the Big Ten, now you might finish eleventh in the
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: Big Ten. Simply put Greg Sanking and the Big Ten commissioner.
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: They want to have a higher percentage of their teams
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: in the NCAA tournament. They figured out a way to
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: get more money out of the television networks to make
• 21:03
  Speaker 10: it a profitable endeavor, and then they held the leverage
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: of if you don't do this, we could just break
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: away as soon as these contracts are over and do
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: our own tournament without you. That's how you get the
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: little guys to go along with it. That's how you
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: go from sixty eight to seventy six. Simply put us
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: in that negative. We don't need this. We haven't left
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: a good team out of the NCAA Tournament, and as
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: long as I can remember, we put average teams in
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: every year. We don't need to put more average or
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: bad teams in. But it's a money maker, and the
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: most powerful people in college sports wanted it to happen.
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: Whenever you get powerful people, give them a way to
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: make a little more money. They're almost always in college
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: athletics going to walk right down that path, whether it's
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: good for the big picture or not.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Gary Paris Shortningius, Gary. Do you this is something that
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I've never quite understood. Even we talk about in the
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: NFL a little bit too, because as an NFL city,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: when they start doing stuff like, well, we're going to
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: play a Wednesday night opener with the Seahawks defending Super
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Bowl champions, and we're gonna have a Tuesday game or
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: of Thursday day and Fridays and Saturdays and going to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: go head to head and all these things. And I
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: bring that up because I think that sometimes the people
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: in charge are detached from why their particular sport or
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: in this case, why this tournament is popular. And I'll
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: explain by saying this. In the NFL, it's about two things. Gambling,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: which is then tied to the second thing, and that's
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the one hundred million people that play fantasy football that
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: are invested. It's interactive. The NFL is a very interactive
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I think you'd agree with me. Sport for fans. Anybody
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: can be involved with the NFL, even if your state
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't have sports razing. You're probably playing with your buddies
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: in a fantasy league, or at least the majority of
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: people are. It's interactive, make it easy. That brings me
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to of course, March Madness. Close to maybe even more
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: than forty million brackets were filled out last season. We
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: have three and fifty million people in this country. You
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: do the math. That's a pretty large significant number. That's
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest reasons I believe March Madness is
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: kind of a catch all. It's big for everybody you're
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: watching the second and third weekends because you might make
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: twenty bucks or maybe a lot more. Do they not
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: realize that this kind of screws stuff like that up.
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: I think they realize it, but not enough to where
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: it prevents them from actually doing it. So think of
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: it as perhaps as a poor analogy. But you know,
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: they have read the warning label on the packet, on
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: the pack of cigarettes. They know what this could potentially do,
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: but they're still going to open the pack of cigarettes
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: and you know, pull their lighter out. I don't think
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: you can overstate the point you just made. Like my
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: young boys do not watch college basketball every day of
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: the year, but there's something about they got to print
• 23:46
  Speaker 10: out a bracket or fill out a bracket online to see.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: If they could beat Dad.
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: And by the time they flew into Indianapolis for the
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: Final four, they knew pretty much everything you needed to
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: know as a basketball about Arizona and about Yukon, and
• 24:02
  Speaker 10: they knew about Brayla Mullins, and they'd watched the shot
• 24:05
  Speaker 10: that bracket gave them a reason to care.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: And then they started carring.
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: And when I was a child, when you were a child,
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: or at least let's just take it back to the
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: mid eighties. It was sixty fourteenths and it fits so
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: perfectly in the newspaper when it came out on Monday morning,
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: and then everybody would cut it out and you'd fill
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: it out, or you'd print it out and fit on
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: a perfect piece of paper. And I want to be clear,
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: I'm not trying to sit here and sound like I'm
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: ninety seven thousand years old. I understand nobody's gonna print
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: stuff out. I have a twenty three year old son.
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: He doesn't even understand the concept of printing something out
• 24:37
  Speaker 10: and holding it and putting pen to paper. But my
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: larger point is that on selection Sunday, we used to
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: have a show and if you were a Washington fan,
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: they said, this is Washington, this is where they're seated,
• 24:49
  Speaker 10: this is where they're playing, this is who they'll play,
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: this is when it's going to be, and you could
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: wrap your head around the entire thing immediately.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: If we win, this is who we play. If we
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: win that one, we could play here, we will have.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: To travel there.
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: It was all right in front of you from the jump.
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: And now more fan bases than ever are going to
• 25:08
  Speaker 10: watch the selection show and they will immediately say, Okay,
• 25:13
  Speaker 10: I guess we're in, but where are we play it?
• 25:16
  Speaker 10: Who are we playing? When will we find out? It
• 25:19
  Speaker 10: just delays the understanding of everything. It's complicated at least
• 25:25
  Speaker 10: for you know, people who don't follow it closely, and
• 25:29
  Speaker 10: it'll delay people, you know, filling out brackets in a
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: way that will prevent people from even caring enough to
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: fill out brackets. And if we can both agree that
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: part of the popularity of the tournament is the bracket
• 25:41
  Speaker 10: that's attached to it. When you break, when you make
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: the bracket more complicated, delay the time with which you
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: have to fill it out, it just it takes something away.
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: Maybe big picture, it won't be that big of a deal,
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: but I tend to think you're closer to right than wrong.
• 25:56
  Speaker 10: I think it matters to what degree we'll see down
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: the line, but I think it matters.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great stufth With Gary Parrish's podcast, he and Matt
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Norland really broke it down extensively, and I think there's
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of elements to it. I bring it up
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: today because I mean, it's not college basketball season. We're
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: not a huge college basketball market. But I do know this,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: people in our area care about college hoops. We see
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the TV numbers, we see the numbers in terms of
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the casinos and what they do. And I also QUALMEY has
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: a huge bump every year. I assume the other ones
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: do as well. There's a lot of interest in it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: We get a bump. It's it's something that we carry
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the games on Thursday and Friday all day starting at
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: nine am and barring a cracking game, all one of
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: those two days. It's it's one of our biggest couple
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: of days of the year in which people are driving around,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: they're listening on the app, the iHeart app, or listening
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: on the radio station to the whip around coverage and
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: let's head to let's head to Jacksonville. Right now, it's
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: a three five, you know, it's a it's a five
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: to twelve matchup Virginia coming down the stretch. They got
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: some problems to check in with. Kevin Coogler. Here we
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: go the Whipper, you know, and it's they do it
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Westwood winns an incredible job with it, and you know,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: but but but why is it so popular? Because it's
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: so neat and tidy. Now, maybe by the time we
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: get there, it's fine. I'm just trying to think of
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: something and four nine, four or five one is the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: takumadage tis. I'm trying to think of something in sports
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: that that a league, a governing body has done that
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: has been as widely unpopular and not wanted by everyone
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: as this, you know, because like you can look at
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: and saying, okay, maybe it's baseball, Well that'sk Jo she
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: in this. It used to be you'd have division winners
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: and that was it. In the playoffs, right, and then
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: they expanded the playoffs wild card system, and then they
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: expanded by one. Right, it was two long, yeah, now
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: it's three. There's people that hate that, but really, end
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: of the day, one hundred and sixty two games keeps
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: everybody kind of invested, right, It's I don't I don't
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: have a hard time. I don't think any of us
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: have a hard time with that. And if you get
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: to the playoffs in baseball, unlike if you get in
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: as a whatever seed on a playing game on a Tuesday,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: you know, and your Auburn this year and you have
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: a five hundred record, your coach can still get fired.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Right in baseball, you're not getting fired. You're you're celebrating
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: the fact you got in hockey playoffs? Have you know,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: sixteen teams out of thirty two are in eight in
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: each conference, So yeah, it's fifty percent, But you know what,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: everyone's engaged basketball. I would put again, I don't want to.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm always a guy beating up the NBA.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I think the playing games I think are kind of goofy.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: But then if you said, hey, we're gonna do that
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: for the NHL, maybe I'd be okay with it. Right whatever,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: maybe kind of keeps you more. But really, sixteen's enough.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Right In the NBA, twenty out of thirty teams get
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: some sort of postseason taste. That's too much. But none
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: of those are on this level in my mind. But
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: there might be something else doesn't have to be playoff wise, realiant, whatever.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: What's the worst thing? What's the worst idea in sports?
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Four nine, four to five one. It's a hard question idea. Well, no,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: just in terms of what we've seen recently, big like
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: could change, like a change, you know, I could change, Like,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: what's the worst thing that's changed for you? Like in
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: sports that nobody wanted to see happen. I'll give you
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: one more. And this is where Greg and I will
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: disagree all day long. I think we have way, way,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: way too many foreign games in the NFL.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Somebody just wrote a calm. I think it was in
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the Athletic like if you're a Sunday ticket guy or
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: a woman, like, it's worthless now, it really is, because
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: all the international games are nationally televised, and you got
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Thursday night football, Sunday football, Sunday night football, Monday night football.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Now you've got Wednesday Thursday, this opening weekend. I mean,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: you've got all these things going on doubleheader sometimes, blah
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: blah blah, Like, really, your chances of missing an out
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: of market game are not really large Christmas Day games,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: all the primetime games. I could, we can live with those.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I just too many European football games too out, How
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: about this, too many international football games because we're in Brazil,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: you're in Australia, Mexico blah blah blah. I heard today
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: like Greg was talking about, is there a chance that
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Seattle San Francisco could be in Mexico City? Because I guess, wait,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: so you're going to send the forty nine ers on
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the road internationally. I'm all for screwing them, but would
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: you do that really? Twice two divisional You're like two
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: divisional games, whether it's a home game or away game.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: At this point, it's almost moot, but it doesn't matter,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Like if we are going to play international games, why
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: are we playing them as division opponents? Like that should
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: just be your out a conference game. If you're going
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: to play.
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: I almost you know, Andrews, you're a soccer fan. It
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: feels like it should be relegation. The worst teams should
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: have to.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Play in Europe yees yea internationally to sell the product there.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: But you know what, just you know, I you know what,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I might I might agree with you. You know what
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: you punishment as you're playing overseas. Yes, you know what,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: how about this play better?
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: Teams have to go over and do that.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Play better? Better, play better, and they'll tell us that,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: like Lundell tell us, he told us two weeks ago.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: We're talking to it was like when he went to
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: the cover of the game one of the games, like
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: they're wearing jerseys for everybody. They don't care, they don't
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: care who's there.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Ireland game every year for football, like college football has
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: like a game. It's I think it's in Ireland. It's not.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: It's not like it's no Dame necessary. It's like they'll
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: play Boston, whoever play. They don't care. Wake Forest is
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: in town, super Jake Dickerd's here. I don't know, but
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: it's a college football game. Division one. They're playing a
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: D one college football game in Toronto this year. I
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: think it is actually wake Forest playing up there. But
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: it's it's like they don't care. It's it so yeah,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: if it's if it's the Titans and it's the Raiders,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: who cares. It's NFL football, Yay, I gotta watch, you know.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza and cam Ward in a sense that's not
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: a bad matchups. Actually you know two number one overall
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: picks whatever, but like to really bad football teams, right,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: what we should be.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: When I was in Wembley, that was the one twenty eighteen.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: You were there too, right.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I did not go, oh you didn't.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: It was the Seahawks, big doubt.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I don't want no part.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Oh man.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I stood on Principal Jess.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: Good for you. They did not.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Actually they sent Aaron Levine instead.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: But I blew my butt out there.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Just we got some good ones. We got some good
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: ones coming in. We got some really good ones coming
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: in four nine, four to five one. We'll check out
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: those out coming up at two thirty. Talkbacks are welcome
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: as well. We'll take quick break, come back, we rock up,
• 32:28

• 32:32
  Speaker 8: Now back Dean Furness on your home for the Huskies,
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: Cracking and The Twelfth Man, brought to you by Seattle's
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: closest No Call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: ninety three point three kJ r FM.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Twelve days away from the schedule lease of the NFL.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I asked soft yesterday. You know, I understand we're not
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: always on the same page of shocking. I don't what.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I just don't care who they play the Seahawks in
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the first game. I just don't. Yeah, I really really don't.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I if I have my my preference would be that
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: they would play Arizona and kick their ass. That'd be great.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Like I don't need it, I don't. I'm a Seahawks fan.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I want that to be a celebration.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: You remember last year what their first game of the
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: year was.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: It was a forty nine Ers. They lost. It was awful,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: and they still won the Super Bowl. But it like,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I don't like having the hardest game or a really
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: hard game like Chargers and Herbert No, no thank you, No,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: especially regular season justin Herbert. No, I don't want that
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Bears playoff team last year. No no thanks. But that's
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: who's going to be so far we know this. Seahawks
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: will open up against a TVD opponent Wednesday, September ninth
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: at eight twenty, Rams forty nine Ers the next night
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: eight thirty five, So that's five point thirty here on
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: that Thursday, Rams forty nine Ers a Thursday night game.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Then that's on September tenth, Giants Cowboys get the first
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Sunday night football game on Sunday, September thirteenth. That's the
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: first full Sunday of football Chiefs Broncos. Nobody knows who
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: the home team is, but that's the Monday night football opener,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: so it's easy to be So everyone must be assuming
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: that Nixon and Nix, I think is fine, but that
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Mahome is going to be okay if they're showing the
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Chiefs and Broncos as the first Monday night football game.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: On that Monday, the fourteenth, Week two, the Bills will
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: open their new stadium at home against the Lions on
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: the first real Thursday night football game that's on Prime
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: and not in a foreign country. That's Thursday, September seventeenth.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: We know the Cowboys and the Ravens are playing Sunday
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: September twenty seventh. That would be in Rito di Janeiro
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: in Brazil. Yay and safe, really good. And then Cowboys
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Eagles Thanksgiving Day Thursday, which is Thanksgiving November twenty sixth.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: So we already know that the Cowboys have one, two,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: three primetime games already that are listed out there of
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: the five that they're at K we don't know the
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Christmas games yet. I think Greg mentioned he thinks that
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: the next twenty four hours we're gonna hear uh international games,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: maybe the Christmas Games as well. We'll see.
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: It's I'm kind of with Faine. You know, Dick was
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: bringing this up yesterday and I this also pains me
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: to agree with Dick much less softy in the same
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: segment of the same show.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: Really do we have some breaking no no, no, no breaking.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: But I'm with Dick, man, like, if we're going to
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: have schedule release day, let's just do it on that day.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Like I agree.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Here's what the NC DOUAA does do really well, like
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: really well. At three o'clock Pacific on Selection Sunday, they
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: reveal what this is, what the tournament looks like. They
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: do that. They do a really nice job. They also,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: even though the NC double A is on involved with it,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: it's College Football Playoff World, which is some sort of
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: separate entity. They also when they reveal the college Football
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Playoff teams, they do it on one day. They don't
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: leak it out over the course of five or six days.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I like that. I'm with Dick. Just get me to Thursday,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: five o'clock Pacific time, here's the schedule, and away we go.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I hate the leaks.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: I hate them.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: They're not leaks. First of all, they're like reports. First
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: of all, they're coming out from the league, so it's
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: not a leak. Second of all, there is no such
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: thing as a leak because.
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: Anytimes, well it doesn't matter if it's politics or sports,
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: a leak is done for a reason.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Someone has an agenda. They want it out there. Ah
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: du like a leak would. A leak tells me that
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: there's something that's an accident, Like I had a leak
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: in one of the pipes in our hot tub that
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: we had.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: I'm so glad you said that, not something.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, we had a leak in the hot tub,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: and luckily I've got a kid that knows how to
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: fix things, so we fixed it. It was a leak.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: That was a true leak. It wasn't something that we
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: planned on or wanted to have happened.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: That correct.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: When you leaked that Dante Fowler two weeks ago is
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: going to sign with the Seahawks, that's not a leak.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: That's hey, we want to stop calling me a done deal.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, I got this done. We didn't mention that,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: by the way, in the update, my apologies, it's official.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: They made it official last night that Dante Fowler Junior
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: is now a Seattle Seahawks, So they have basically put
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: their roster together to defend their Super Bowl championship next year.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: The one glaring need that they kind of had again
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: was that it was finding a pass rusher, an edge
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: got to replace Boy of MAFE or just an edge
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: player to replaced Boy of MAFE. And I don't know,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: time will tell if it's an upgrade or not. It
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: certainly is far far more of a value than what
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: they were going to pay fifty three to stay here.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Who had a high Yes, Corbyn had a high win rate,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: didn't put the quarterback on his back all that often.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and Corbyn's been kind of the champion on our
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: Seahawks Squad show Unlocked on Seahawks of saying that there's
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: a reality that Dante Fowler is better than Boy of MOFE.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: So I think, especially in terms of value, you got
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: the better deal here.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: I was a solid move by you to slide in
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: that little promo for was a really solid play by you.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: I liked it, you know, I always like John Juggers
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: has learned a lot over the years.

  Speaker 1: quality grass fields, not turf in the stands. All these
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: NFL stadiums, how many, how many stadiums? Is FIFA using
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: of the NFL. Good question. I'll do some research. Seattle
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: for sure, met Life for sure, Kansas City for sure.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I think Soldier Field, I do believe. Before what else?
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: L A oh l a's l A is like, are
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: they playing so far? There's five? Yes, so at least
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: five that we can think of off top of their heads.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: I have the list here, what is it?
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: It's actually a bunch met Life at and t Arrowhead
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: Energy Energy Energy is Houston, Mercedes Benz slink and Financial.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz is Atlanta, correct.
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: Lincoln Financial, which is Philly Vis Stadium, hard Rock Stadium
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: I believe is Miami's. That's Miami, Yeah, yeah, yeah, eight,
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: Jillette Stadium, nine, Little Field. Ten so far eleven.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Ten eleven, there's eleven US venues for the World Cup.
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, wow, Jersey, Dallas, Kansas City, Houston, Los Angeles.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: So some of those already have grass. Some of those
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: already have grass. Yeah, I don't know exactly which ones. Yeah,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Like I'm just on top of my head. MetLife does not.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, here's the problem when when they say that,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: I mean I have I just just casually watching a
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: little bit of Sounders. It looks awesome.
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, just looks soccer on grasses. Let me let
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: me rephrase it this way. Soccer on turf sucks. Yes,
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: it's awful to watch right and playing it's how much
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: different is the touching of the ball for you on turf?
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: A lot, it's a lot not and then not just
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: how the ball rolls, because it's like with grass, it
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: kind of skips a little bit. It's really bouncy because
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: of the rubber underneath it.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Well, but the problem is very feels different. Yeah, like
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: if it's if the if the rubbers and the and
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: some of those, some of that rubber is going away,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: some of that technology is going away. But then also
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: think about how much you're sliding and like you're right, Well,
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: I think, buddy, buddy me. We introduced a memorial stadium.
• 43:27
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: We don't have to be in the.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Playing on basically a rug. Yeah, no, I I I
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: get that. Soccer, I get I I totally understand it.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: The football thing. When Tredder says that I've talked to
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: enough guys over the years, I don't think that there's
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: this unanimous feel the grass is better than turf in football.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's a very easy and convenient. Hey,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: a guy gets hurt, we're gonna blame it on the turf.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: You can find plenty of instances where guys get hurt
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: on grass. I'll just take you back. The year was
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: twenty and thirteen, but it was a twenty twelve season
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: three in that particular game, RG three, Chris Clemens, Stephen Hauschka.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: There might have been more, but those three all had
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: their legs destroyed on what they were calling grass. Now,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: that wasn't what does he call it? High quality grass fields?
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: That certainly was not. No, but good luck, good luck
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: growing a high quality grass field in a lot of
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: these East Coast even out here in the dead of winter. Yeah, like,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: good luck with that. There's a reason they went to
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: this technology and they're trying to improve it. JC hell
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: I the two ones that I think of Green Bay
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: does a great job, like they I don't know how,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: but I've been on that field and it's Christine, but
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: it all so, I've been on that field, been four
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: or five times when it's been snowy and or it's
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: been snow has happened, or it just slick. Carolina a
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: few years ago when they had natural grass I don't
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: think they do anymore. When they had natural grass. There's
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: a playoff. We had a playoff game there in twenty seventeen,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: I believe it was. And I remember talking to Bruce
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Irvin before the game and a Bruce or Frank one
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: of those two guys where we're talking and doing pregame.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: They're walking around, they're like changing cleats five or six
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: times ago this and they're just like this is awful,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Like this is It's just it was like kind of
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: a slick, kind of mud hard mud type of thing,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: and guys got hurt that game, if I remember, right.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's cool looking right now,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: it'd be awesome to have censure or loom and field
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: whatever having grass all the time. I just don't think
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: it's a feasible thing. They're jc if especially if you
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: want to have these indoor stadiums, Megaplex's like so far
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: and Mercedes Benz and all this. You know why they
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: have those so they can pay you guys a ton
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: of money. Is Dallas grass Dallas is not. It's indoors.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: There's indoor grass field right right, But yeah, no, I
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: mean and think about Dallas. They have a lot of
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: stuff going on there. The other thing is all these
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: places are multi event venues, like you rolling a concert
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: in there. You got you're gonna destroy your grass. You're
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: gonna roll in Moto cross or whatever. You're gonna destroy
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: your grass.
• 46:21
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I just don't think it's a real I think
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: it's a fun thing to say. It's just not realistic. Sure,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: you know, it just isn't And and guys get hurt
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: on grass, just like they get hurt on and the
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: turf technology gets better better. I think it's one of
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: those things, you know what when you're when you're complaining
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: about things in the NFL that should be not near
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: the top of the list. I mean, you got to
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: find something if you're in the NFL. P Yeah, you
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: gotta find that. Uh, we got we threw a topic
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: out at you in the last hour. We'll get some text.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: We'll read those coming up at two thirty today. It's
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: pretty fun. The we're just talking about the worst idea
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: that we've seen in sports in a while. And I'll
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: take your help on it. I I can't think and
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: maybe somebody can taught me on this. I can't think
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: of a worse idea than expanding the NCAA tournament, one
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: that is universally disliked by fans, by most media, most coaches,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: mark few coming out obliterating it. Tom Izzo the exact
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: same thing. Nobody likes this except for Greg sanke as
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Berry Perrys Toole as the commissioner of the SEC because
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: maybe he can sneak a couple more of his really
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: crummy teams in the SEC into the tournament. It's not
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: gonna help the smaller teams, not gonna help the mid
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: major teams. It makes what ends up being a really cool,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: fun week getting your bracket ready and all that a
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: lot less because you're going to have six games on Tuesday,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: six games on Wednesday, and then you're gonna have I mean,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: it'll work out, but people thirty six million to forty
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: two million, depending on whose numbers you want to look at,
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: brackets were filled out last year. People want it nice
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: and easy. It just and it doesn't reward good you know.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: I heard Dick and Softy talking about the other day,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: and they're right, like, if you get in, like Washington
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: hasn't been in the tournament in a decade. If you
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: get in, but you're playing in a game on Tuesday
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: and then you got knocked out? Did you really have
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: anything to celebrate? Feels like kind of an extension of
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: the Big Ten tournament or a conference tournament. Does exactly.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like it was actual tournament game. The
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: tournament starts when you see, Oh god, the late Greg
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: Gumbele used to be the guy, but now I think
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: it's Adam Zucker last year, maybe Ernie Johnson at nine
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: am on a Thursday morning on CBS and here we
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: are and da da, let's go out, and nine to
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: twelve is the first tip off. Specific that's when it starts.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: But find me another one that's just awful, Like, just
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: find another one that another sports idea. I've seen a
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: couple of good ones out there, four nine, four or
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: five to one that are that are actually damn good.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I'll throw this one at you just for fun, right.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: The MLB ghost Runner, Oh it sucks. Someone wrote that
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: in that's from the two A couple of those. Yeah, yeah,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: so the ghost run. Do you hate the ghost Runner? Yeah,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: it's It's not my favorite thing in the world because
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: baseball has kind of been if we want to think
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: about it, baseball's maybe been weird to say because it
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: seems like it's so stuck in its ways. Baseball's kind
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: of been at the forefront of a lot the last
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: five years, especially right, Yeah, abs this year you got
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: the pitch clock, pitch clock, bigger bases.
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, which I think most people in almost all
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: of those situations would would say the changes have been
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: good for the game, right, ghosts And like, I see
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: what they're doing with the ghost Runner. They're trying to
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: make the games faster, But that's the one where you
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: are sacrificing the quality just to make just to get
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: to the end result that you're looking for. The other
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: ones I think have been actually good changes for the
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: quality as well.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the ghost Runner might be the top of the list.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: I mean maybe people do like it. I I've never
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: been one that says the game's too long. If I'm
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: going to a game, it's going to be however long
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: I don't really worry about that as much. But the
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: ghost Runners. The ghost Runners kind of like the shootout
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: in hockey. Yeah, it's it's not a representation of who won,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: and you don't have it in the postseason, so which
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: is the same as a shootout in exactly it is
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: the shootout in hockey, right, So, like I kind of
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: understand you don't want to avoid these marathon games. Like
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: basketball's over time is five minutes. Yeah, whatever it is,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: it's five minutes. Yeah.
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: But when you have that much scoring, yeah, it's easier
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: you can say that, right, Versus in hockey you can
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: go a period without scoring.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: I went to the epic game Sunday Night Baseball in
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: the Kingdome Yankees Mariners ninety one I think it was
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: ninety or ninety one on the Sunday Night game. Pee
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: we probably finally ended it with a home run. It
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: was eighteen innings something like that, unbelievable phenomenal game, like
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: just the back and there was like run scored before
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: he finally won it, like Yankee scores counters back. I mean,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: it's an incredible game. Yeah, and I'm glad I got
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: a chance to go to that. It wasn't the eighteen
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: inning one zero, No, No, it was not. It was
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: not the horror show that was used in a couple
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: of years ago. Not at all all right, Uh, Joe
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: she and Joshian newsletter joins us coming up next.

  Speaker 8: Ian with our weekly baseball fix from Joshian.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Got a long list of stuff to discuss with my
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: friend Joe Shean today after I missed him last week.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: He Uh, of course probably had a better time with
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Chris and Andrews and the crew, but uh, I appreciate
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: you making time for a little old meet today, Joe.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: How are you good?
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: Man? Hey? Look, I did get to talk to Chris
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: last week and that was great. I just want to
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: throw a little shout out to him. I know he's
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: going through it a little bit and does some great
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: work on you, and uh, well thinking about him.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Chris, great dude, man, We love the guy. All right.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Let's get I want to ask you just a question.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: A story just came out from the Athletic and I
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: don't think it's breaking news, but it's out there. MLB
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: and the MLBPA are holding their first CBA meeting in
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: New York today. At the top of the lists, according
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: to The Athletic Story and others, is the first discussions
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: truly about a salary cap. It's going to be probably
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: the number one topic that they go through over the
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: next lengthy how long these discussions take, and I'm assuming
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: we all believe probably goes into the next calendar year. Joe,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: what does the salary cap accomplish or does it accomplish anything?
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: In baseball?
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: It raises franchise values a lot because you've happ competition.
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: You cap the labor costs. And if you look around sports,
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: the leagues that have broken their unions through winning strikes,
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: winning lockouts, the NHL, the NFL all have payroll caps.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: MLB has never been able to break its union, so
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: it has doesn't have a payroll cap. The purpose of
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: a payroll cap isn't competitive balance or anything like. It's
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: just the cap competition for labor. So MLB owners want
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: that because it will raise their franchise values. And pretty
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: much any time you can get your competitors to agree
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: to only spend so much on labor. It's a win
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: for menasurement, so that's always been the center of it.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: I know that there's a lot of conversation about this
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: particular topic because see a lot of people say, well,
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: why does it it will be we do this, and
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: people argue will be better for the players, which is
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: not true because well, let me let me make it simple.
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: If a payroll cap system was better than for the players,
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: management wouldn't be proposing. They don't propose things that are
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: better for the players. It's not the way negotiations. So
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: it's a complicated topic. It's obviously it will be as
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: a long history with this because the other leagues have
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: successfully broken their unions. We have a lot of sports
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: fans who just think this is the way it should be.
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: And as somebody who's been covering these things for a
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: long time, I can tell you that it's not about
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: making things better, it's not about competitive ballance. It's entirely
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: about tapping labor costs for that isment, locking in certainty
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: as far as costs are concerned, and raising franchise values.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Joe, I know that we don't know an answer, but
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: you've covered it, You've talked about it, you've written about
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: it for it forever, as you said, so it's it's
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: sort of a hypothetical. I'm not a huge fan of those,
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna ask you just in this regard, if
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: I look at the other leagues in sports, and I
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: think the NFL may be the best example, because the
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: NFL just hates any thought of a dynasty, you know,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: they just do they and they don't want that to
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: ever happen. They want everybody to have competitive balance and
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, and that's why they have a hard So.
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: You're telling me the NFL dynasties the NFL is nothing, but.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: I know, but you think about it. Back to back
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl champions don't happen. They don't unless the names.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: And since they started a free agency, I think the
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Patriots the only ones have gone back to back since
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: the true free agency, the come back to back. The
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Chiefs went and didn't go, didn't win right, No, they
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: they go back to right too.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: But nine teams have accounted for most of the spots
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: in the conference championship games in the last twenty five years.
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, we can draw the lines of ever we have,
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: but when you actually down and say, okay, who wins
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: the championships, who makes the finals, who makes the conference finals.
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: The NFL, NBA, and MLB have basically the same day,
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: the exact same day.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: I bring it up for this reason. The Green Bay
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: Packers playing a small market, they can compete with anybody.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks. The Seahawks I think could have had a dynasty.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: They couldn't pay anybody, like at some point all those
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: contracts came through. It came true at one time. I
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: bring it up for that reason. Well, Oklahoma City is
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: a great example. Like the salary cap saves the thunder.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: No one's gonna no one's gonna stay there or play there, right,
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: But they've got these young guys that are all gonna
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: be fine and for a certain amount of time. Do
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: you think that Major League Baseball would have and maybe
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: the answers one hundred percent. No, That's why I'm asking
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: you any kind of type of different competitive balance with
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: a solar cap.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: No. There again, it gets into a very complicated conversation
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: to do on a twenty minute radio second. One of
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: the reasons the NFL as the system it does is
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: that again broken union. But I was to think about
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: whatere the money comes in. The NFL doesn't have markets
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: in the NFL. Is the team that sells the most
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: tickets in the NFL sells about seven hundred thousand tickets.
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: We laugh at baseball teams that sell seven hundred tickets.
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: There are no local TV contracts. Everything comes to the
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: national nesally, the two thirds of the money in the
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: NFL clubs to the national media. You're never going to
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: get to that. So where the NFL is sharing NFL
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: money thirty two ways for MLB to do that, it's
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: got to take money from the Yankees, the Dodgers, the Cubs,
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: the Mets, who have you, and give it to the Royals.
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: That's locally generated money. And I'm not just talking about TV.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about the Dodgers draw four million people a
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: year and this is well, no, you gotta take some
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: of that money and give it to the Royals. And
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: my answer is what you get a lot of this
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: will Green Bay and Oklahoma City, all these examples. Let
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: me ask you this, why is it good for the
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: teams with the smallest fan bases to have most success?
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: Like why why have we decided that that's the measure
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: of the success of the league. Because like the NFL,
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: the Jets and the Giants are terrible, always terrible, and
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. The LA didn't have team for what
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: a decade, right, and now they have one and a half.
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: Since the Chargers are basically a bark, starving team, nobody
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: cares about them. Like, why has that become the measure
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: of like different? Why is it is good for the
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: teams that the smallest fan bases to have the most success,
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: because if you look at it, you talk about this
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: dynasty idea, and no, when dynasties are great for sports,
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: it gives teams, it gives the fans something for rooted cans.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: It's a great story. It brings people coming back. This
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: idea that the NBA or the the NFL don't want dynasties,
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: it's just wrong, man. Dynasties drive interest, and when you
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: just have random teams popping up all the times, it
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: actually takes interest away. So a lot of the things
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: that gets talked about are simply not true if you
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: look at the behavior of if you look at the revenue,
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: the overall revenue, look at the interest. Dynasties drive interest.
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: They don't take interest in it.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: Oh I agree, No, I agree I've done this. I've
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: done this job for rezillion years. I mean, the Lakers
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: are always good for business. When they were great Patriots,
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: I think were good for business. Yankees chiefs. Nobody wants
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: to watch the smaller market teams. Last year's NBA Finals
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: with the thunder very litw rated. You appreciated the choir,
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: and I also think, like for me, you're right with
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: the The NFL is a hard one to make an
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: example of because of what you just said. It's not
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: a normal league where it's based on you know your
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: market and what you can do in your true ownership.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: It is a made for TV event. I think Here
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: TV and Seattle is a great example of that because
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: up until well now they're selling it. But when Paul
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: g Allen was alive, it was the greatest thing in
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: the world. Like if we always joked about it here,
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: if if it was just based on your market size
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: or maybe more specifically on your owner, well, Paul g Allen,
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they would have done, but I
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: don't they have lost all those dudes to free agency
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: in the salary camp situation. He would have just paid him. Hell,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: he showed that when he was in Portland. The luxury
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: tax meant zero to Paul, like, I'll pay whatever. It
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: didn't always work out, they didn't win a championship, but
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: so I'm with you on that. And yeah, anything that
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: screws Oklahoma City and even more for so, yeah, good
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: for that.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: Joe.
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: I didn't think about that aspect of it.
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, Joe She and Joece jo She.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, we'll be keeping an eye on this thing
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: because negotiations are probably not going to go well at
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: least initially. We'll see if they can get something done.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: You know, I think you're the one that I was
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: thinking about our conversation. This is like three four years
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: ago when we talked about that revenue share in baseball,
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Like there's no excuse for teams not to spend more money,
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: owners not to spend more money, because don't the Pittsburgh Pirates,
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: for example, or the Kancay Royals get money from other
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: teams in baseball.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: This is I think. So this is a very closely
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: held piece of information which we don't have a list
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: of the revenue sharing transfer and I think it's important
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: that this before MLB doesn't publish that information because I
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: think they no it would change the conversation if we
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: could see and estimates from about five years ago are
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: that the top teams put in eighty to one hundred
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: million dollars and the bottom teams collect about that many,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: and then it's a sliding scale towards the middle on
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: both ends. So if you knew that Bob Nutting of
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: the Parts had been getting ninety million dollars a year
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: for the last ten years, or that the doctors had
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: been kicking back one hundred million dollars a year to
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: these teams, I really think it would change the conversation. Yes,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: because this whole woe is me idea. Look, if your
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: payroll is less than you're getting just from local revenue,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: just from local revenue sharing. I'm not talking about national
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: TV money or me or anything else. I'm talking about
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: just local revenue sharing is higher than your payroll. That
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: would change the conversation. I have said, I've tried to
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: get this information. I don't think I'm ever going to
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: be able to get it. But if you had a
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: piece of paper that showed you, well, since this program
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: started in twenty twelve, this team has collected one point
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: six billion dollars just in local revenue sharing money. Why
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: are we giving it to them?
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think, I think it would change everything. Well,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: maybe it comes out during this process, because like I said,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: it's probably gonna get ugly. Joshi and Joni's Joshian newsletter. Uh,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: we're about the quarter pull of the season. Before I
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: get to some Mariners conversation. You did write about this
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit. What have we learned about what pictures catchers,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: hitters are doing with abs right now?
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we're going to see pictures basically cut
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: out of this conversation pretty soon here and you had
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: the rate of picture challenges is only about two percent
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: in April. Its actually down under two percent now by
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: the end of the year. I just think they're going
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: to see pictures not allowed to change. Think about it.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: Pictures are in motion, so they're going to have the
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: worst angle. They're going to be the head's going to
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: be moving based at the end of their their wind
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: up their stretch, so they have the worst idea where
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: the pitch actually was. Catchers when they challenge, they win
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: at about sixty percent rate. Pictures are about thirty seven percent.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: This is number These numbers from Bismall Savas over and
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: we'll be so there's just no reason to let pictures
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: waste your challenges When your catchers are converting at fifty
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: percent higher rate. That pretty much the same. The one
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: thing I noticed looking at some data at this cycleed
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: cap to challenge is that hitters are leaving more challenges
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: on the table than catchers on, which is to say
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: that catchers are doing a better job of saying, all
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: that pitture is close, I'm going to challenge it, and
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: they get the ball slip to a strike where hitters
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: seem a little more timid as the season goes on
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: about making that challenge now. I wanted an automated strike
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: zone because I thought it would help make the better
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: picture battle a little more fair. It would force pitchers
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: to stop getting that strike two inches off the zone.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: And if catchers are going to be challenging more and
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: converting more challenges, that's not gonna happen. This is going
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: to be something else that helps pitchers and catchers take
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: runs out of the game, take offense out of the game.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: Right now, baseball needs all the hits it can get.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: So if abs challenging turns into something that takes offense
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: out of the game, it's gonna be a negative.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just looking at the numbers you posted just
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: to batter catchers pittures on Sundays and different. I mean,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: it's the catcher has the best rate and it's not.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: You know, they're up by anywhere from five to six
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: percent even over batters right now, so, uh yeah, they've
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: got the best look at it. Joe she and Jonas
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: Joe shean newsletter. Where does Joe She and stand on
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: a six man rotation? Joe, You'll be shocked to know
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: that's a big topic here in Seattle.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: It's kind of a five and a half thing where
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: they're going to piggyback the two. It's a little bit weird.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: I will say that it's I don't like burkewn. I
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: don't like I had to be talking to a five
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: man rotation thirty years ago, so you know, I think
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: we there's there's not enough, there's too many pictures going
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: out ing so and then they don't want to move either.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: One of these guys from the bullpen Emmerson Hancock has
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: earned his rotation spot for the moment. Ninety percent of
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: the time this gets solved by the injury. Somebody has
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: an oblique or a blister or something goes wrong and
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: goes on the iel for fifteen days. So we'll see
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: how this works out over the next few turns. But no,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: I don't Castine's okay. I do think though, if I
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: was going to move one of these guys to the bullpen,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: it would be Castillo. I will stay that between the injuries,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: the brash and the fire. And I guess Jose Frere
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: is having a kid, well having a kid. I looked
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: at the bullpen that you guys are running out there.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: I was literally just looking at roster resource before the game.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: And I do this for a living, and I don't
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: know before these guys are. I literally don't know who
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: they are. It could be for people who have ever been.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: In my ketchen.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: I have no idea these guys, So putting Castillo into
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: the seat only the only the gen X people are
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: going to get that.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: But I.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: It's it's a tough So maybe moving one of these
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: guys to the bullpen right now wouldn't be the worst idea,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: and I think it should be Castillo. He's still sustaining velocity,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: throws twenty five, maybe picks another kick or two in
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: the pen. I want to see what Chrys Miller can do.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: I was very excited about him at the end of
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: last year in the playoffs. I don't really want to
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: mess with him. I would like to see him in
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: the rotation every FIP day.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that's with with Bryce coming back and
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: he goes tomorrow, right, and goes tomorrow, Yeah, tomorrow, Thursday, Okay, yeah,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: I mean with with that, we'll see what he's got
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: first start of the year. I think the other part
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: of it is you just said it like there's always
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: natural attrition. It's a it's a rotation that has been
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: knock on wood healthy so far this season. That was
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: not the case last year. It's not the case normally, right,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: where a rotation stays healthy the entire season, there will
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: be something naturally that takes its place along the way
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: and it'll feel it feels like they have him one
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: of those guys. And we've called it now. We still
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: have the Fernando Rodney experience here. The Edward Barzado experience
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: is starting to rival that. It's either really good or
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: a god it's one or the other. It's I find
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: a highly entertaining Joe, I really do. It's fun and
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: they need him.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: Ye one thing about him little left handed dinners. And
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: because of the way the Boltons structured right now, he
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: has to face more lefties than you would normally have
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: him do with crash and everybody else were healthy. So
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: it's a tough spot for him. He's got to be
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: used a little bit often.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: Joe she and Jonas Jochian Newsletter. Let's uh cal Rawley situation.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: That's the other big topic here right now? He goes
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: oh for four again? Last night, I hesitate. I got
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: the numbers. I don't want to look at him. It's
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: not good right now. Uh oh for what enters forty?
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: Now are we at forty? I think we're close to forty,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: if not there for his last forty. You do this
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: for a living, as you said, sir, should we at
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: all be concerned about cal Rawley?
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: Yet see a question like that? I want to say,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: I'm just a hobbyist, I'm just a fan with I
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: don't have great answers for you. Ian, what's your superpower?
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: Everybody does superpower?
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: Good question, God, great question. Let me think about it
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: because I don't think I have one. But if you
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: say everyone has one, I guess I gotta think of one.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: So let me think about it.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: What do you got?
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna skip past.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: Cal Rawley's superpower was hitting fast. He threw a fastball
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: for a strike. Last year, he crushed it. It's seven
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: You slid seven thirty on fastballs in his own last year,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: and it wasn't a flu forty five barrels. A whole
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: bunch of the home runs that he had were fastballs
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: of his own. This year, he's hitting one eighty with
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: a four to sixty slugging. Now four fifty sounds good.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: It said, it's fastballs on the zone. You should be
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: crushing those. Last year, if you got a fastball on
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: the zone, he was about twice as likely a little
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: more than twice as likely to swing and miss as
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: he was to hit a barrel. That's a great ratio.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: This year, he's seven times as likely to swing and
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: miss as he is to hit a barrel, barrel being
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: like a really well struck ball by stacks standards. So
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: he's completely lost to superviowl. He now is getting challenged
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: in the zone by fastballs and he's not doing anything
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: with that's killing And of course it's leading to other things.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: He's pressing, he's got a higher chase rate than he
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: had last year. But the real thing is he's turned
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: into somebody who just can't hit fastballs. Now, if he
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: was four years older, it would be simple, right, thirty four,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: he's up there in age. This is what happens when
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: you get into your mid thirties. For a player still
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: as young as he is, who had the year he
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: had last year, completely suddenly lose the ability to hit
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: fastballs on his zone.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 13: Is terrified.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: I'm just looking at Yeah, that's that's the part. Yeah,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to go back to that. So just
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: to reiterate, last year, cal Rawley gets a fastball, really
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: good things happen. This year, cal Rally gets a fastball,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: things aren't happening very well all the time, like at
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: the same rate, Like he just isn't hitting that. And
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: that's and if Joe she and I'm guessing if you
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: know that, so does every scouting staff and managerial and
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: every coaching staff in baseball.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: Well, there are no secrets, I mean anyway, I mean
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: this is the case forever ago, when it was just
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: you know, guys going to games and scouting and taking notes.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: Now we have perfect information on every pitch about our seats.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: So this is getting around very quickly. And until Rally
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: starts hitting those fast balls in the zone and turning
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: them around again and turning them into barrels, turning them
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: into home runs, he's just going to continue to see
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: velocity in his own. These numbers are incredibly start I
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: can't I mean, I was doing the research for this
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: for the spot, just like this can't be me the
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: answer and which really is the answerting if he's not
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: hitting fastball? So I mean I would get his eyes checked.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: I would make sure did he have some oblique thing, yeah,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: soreness side or something? Yeah?
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: Maybe just maybe you give them ten days off, you know,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: give him the Dodger vacation you usually talk about the pictures.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: The change is so stark for thirty year old that
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: it's almost got to have some externality. It can't just
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: be suddenly lost the ability to test. So I would
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: find some way to get him a break, give him
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: a reset, and bring him back and say get back
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: to being power out.
• 1:09:23

  Speaker 1: I think I threw it out at our buddy, you know,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: Sarah say today on the Athletic.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 11: He like that.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: He got to chuckle out of it. So yeah, they
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: you're the Dodger vacation. It's it's all years. I hope
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: you have a copyright on that thing because it you know,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: you should be making some money off that. With Residual Jill, I.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: Love that U Favorite Writers does a great podcast with
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: their Van Riper at the Athletic. Greats and Barrels just
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: really great guys. So I'm so glad you have them
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: on the show.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: I gotta listen. I like to have people on the
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: show that are way smarter than me, So that's why
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: I have you on. That's why I have eno on.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of guys like that. That's like
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: I like to have that. It helps raise the bar
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: for this show. Before I let you go, we brought
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: something up earlier and had to do with the NCAA tournament,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: and it's basically just you know this, this has to
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: be the expansion of the NCAA Tournament. One of the
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: worst ideas that we have seen in sports in a while.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants it except for Greg Zanke, the SEC commissioner.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: Like literally, that's the one guy that wants it. Nobody
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: else does. Coaches don't want it. Most like ISO, few
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: other coaches come out and just obliterated it. And I'm
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: asking our listeners of things that they don't like. Some
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: of the things they've seen worst ideas. We've seen a
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: lot of ghost runner at second base for extra innings
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: in the regular season. Where do you fall on that.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: I think that's the worst rule of sports. I know
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: some people think it's the fumbling out of the end
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: zone rule for touchback, but for me, the ghost runner
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: is the worst rule of.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: Sports, just because simply it's not the way you should
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: decide a game rights.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: It's a rule that comes from like amateur tournaments where
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: you've got to hear the field. So the next game, Yes,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: it's we have to get this game over with. Personally,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: I don't think Major League Baseball games have to get
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: over I think that you played them until somebody actually
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: wins the game. Playing real baseball, and guys, this is
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: determined playoff spots. This is the third determined division winners.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: If you look at the four years that we've had
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: this rule, it's been incredibly important in determining how you
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: play in these fake baseball innings at the end of
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: games has determined champions.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: Andrews, you're agreeing.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: I love it fake baseball innings, it is, but I
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: had thought of.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: It in the terms of Joe Putt, like, is you know,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: I remember when my kid was playing travel ball and stuff. Yeah,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: it's like we've got the next game is starting. Yeah,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: we got to wrap this damn thing up. Let's go
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: let's go figure it out to have a home run
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: contest or something. Tell people the Joe Shean newsletter, Sir.

• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: sports science and medical support, overall resources and the alignment
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: between the NHL and the h levels is the organization
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: double checking here for Mikey and me. Nothing here on broadcastcasts.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: It's fun to make sure Mikey fits Allison fester Wing
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: and so we might be okay, okay, I don't see
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: anything in there about that. Now, let's see if you
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: win the Emmy, Susan Lucci, man, there will be cracking Emmys. Yeah,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: I'm just not sure. I am Susan Lucci. Hear me,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: roar I company? All right, So they're going through all this.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: The guy, this lead guy, Mike Ford is his name.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: He's done a bunch of the East, the guy that
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: used to play for the Mariners. No, it's with any okay,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: although did Mike Ford have an no, God, remember that guy.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: He was like he was like Bucky two point oh
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: for a while. He was came in and was like,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: we've had big guys that have come in and had
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: these flashes. He was rowdy before rowdys, Mike Ford before
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: all them. The original was Bucky. I'll say Bucky have
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: been better than all of them combined except for his knees.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: Just yeah, thanks for coming. Yeah anyway, roster construction, I
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: want to hear what that comes out of.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 5: I'm curious, but like I always get weird with these
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 5: kind of external audits, so to speak, like what are
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 5: the parameters that they're looking at?
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: Here?
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 5: Are they going to compare it to other NHL teams?
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 5: Are they gonna they've.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: Done he's got inside note, let me just tell you. Oh, okay,
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: here we go. Inside They've done. They've done fifty plus
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: of these with different teams in leagues right X sports.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: So this isn't like their first goal, this is their
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: first rodeo. So people were asking would be independent The answers, yes.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 5: Well, this isn't like the crack and looking for the
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 5: firm that would give him the most favorable score.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: No, this is this is he he actually did. I
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: get I might try to track this down. He did
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: an interview with Elliott Freeman a few years ago from
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: Hockeyheck Canadas. So this is something that this guy does,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: and it does and so it's legit.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 5: I'm curious about roster construction. I'm also really curious about
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 5: the player development findings, because that's been a big thing
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 5: for me.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 11: Uh, you know.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. They have developed and had draft picks
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: from every class except for last year. So the first
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: four draft classes have all played in the NHL. They're
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: one of the few teams that's had that happen. So
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: they're putting guys in the NHL from the draft classes
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: the top guy. But are they high end guys? The
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: answer so far is no. I mean, Maddie's you wouldn't
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: say is a high Like the guys aren't high end.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: You know, outside. I think it's good sometimes have outside
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: stuff come in, but it can be problematic. And Jess,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: you worked in TV with me, Oh, this is this
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: is like a very TV stations for I don't know
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: if they still do this because they're all such big conglomerates.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: When when we were at for example, like Como years
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: like eons ago, we were owned by the Fisher family
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: that'scoing people, very small company and I'm like, we had
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: outside consultant that they have, They had a guy that
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: was higher and the guy. Funny thing is this turned
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: out to be greasy later. I'm keep an eye on
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: Mike Ford that ended up being a news director couple
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: years later. After it was like the consultant for years,
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: but having a guy come in from the outside. Here's
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: what I think the question is like, sometimes those guys
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: just don't in the context you're working with. Right, A
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: lot of companies out there, a lot of people listening,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: probably have outside consultants that look at what they're doing
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: in their business. So this isn't nowt of the ordinary
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: the question. I like hearing that the guy's done this
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: a lot and it's been involved before. So I think
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: what you go back to Andrews, what you said, it's
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: not just hey, let's find somebody that's going to agree
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: with us. Yeah, exactly. I don't think that's what this is.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: I think it's the opposite of that quick text. Oh sorry, Jess,
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: go ahead.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 6: No, I was just going to say that as long
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 6: as they know you, as long as they know you
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 6: and are willing to spend the time.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: I think they're trying to find out what they are, right,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: they don't know him yet. They're outside, They're coming in
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: things you don't know what well like. But I think
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: sometimes having that.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 5: But it's almost better not to know anything. Yeah, and
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 5: you can go in and kind of do your own digging.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 4: Right, you can come in thirty thousand feet and then
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 4: get to fight out.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: Here's what it is. It's it's an outside voice telling
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: you what they think. Yeah, does that mean you have
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: to take everything they say and do it and implement it. No,
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: because that's what you're saying, just because it does happen.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 4: In news a lot, It happens in media a lot.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: And really actually media as a whole, it times happen.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 6: I'm not denominating any sort of media. We are one
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 6: that there's TV, there's radio and radio.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: Tour we hadn't we had in Portland. We had in
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: radio guy came in every six months and it was
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: and the guy had no clue. And I say that
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: for this reason. He was a news guy. He's coming
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: and telling us about sports. Yeah, that's what I mean
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: that I should do more Tour de France. Did you
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: actually say that? That was said?
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, we're just gonna.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: That we did have been here.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: We need this style. We need more Tour de France
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: on the radio. You and you and Mark need to
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: do more Tour to France and afternoon drive in Portland. Well,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: there's an NBA draft coming up? Should we no more
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: tour to France?
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 6: What one of the best busses I had, who came
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 6: in out of nowhere and for us, spent three months
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 6: learning the station and the personalities and then made it better.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think they've got I don't think they got
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: three months. They got a draft coming up in eight weeks,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: so they got they got stuff to do, and free
• 1:21:17

• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: still legal as of now. I saw someone showed it

  Speaker 1: to me the other day. It's actually it's a way
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: to get around sports betting, and see.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 5: It's and the funny thing is it is sports literally
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 5: sports betting, but it's technically a prediction market.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: They say, yeah, okay, one of our goes, are they
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: not sponsoring us? It goes beyond I thought they were
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: on the air here and then they got taken off
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: or something. But I could be just I think you
• 1:25:25

• 1:25:44
  Speaker 9: Uh?
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: Is there a broadcast element? I don't know. Probably is
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: two things we could have for Calshi for us John
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: lens over undertime every Tuesday. Number two would be Josian's phone.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: Now here's the funny thing about that, because I, yes,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: I see your tax we all see your taxt.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: The one funny one is Joe Sheen some sort of
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: bird sanctuary. It did sound like he was like at
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: a zoo or something.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 4: Probably outside.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was outside. Oh there you goes. Yeah, probably

• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: You do Yeah, can you Okay, so so hang on
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: a second, so with this thing, with this thing, because
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: I know it's like all kinds of stuff. Can you
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: tell them what you want to better or waiting whatever?
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 5: Like no, they have it like up, So okay, it's
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 5: technically an investment. It's not like betting technically is.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 4: It one of those things the stock market on a
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 4: different place.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 5: Exactly, But instead of predicting the outcomes of stocks, are
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 5: predicting the outcomes of.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: This field sporting event. It feels sketchy and other things.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: It feels sketchy, I'm telling right now. It feels well, Jess,
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: you were probably just getting into the business, I'm guessing
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: when remember when offshore betting was massive, like like there's
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: I knew about that before I was, but like like
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: that was man when I was the end of the
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: tenure in Salt Lake and then in Portland, the offshore
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: betting sites and whatever it was, those things were, but
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: those companies were like the biggest spenders on sports radio,
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: Like they spent eight zillion dollars on sports radio. Yeah,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: I just knew about it, and I remember I never
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: got involved with the memory asking a couple of guys
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: that are like, hey, so, yeah, I want this. I
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: wanted to go, how do you cast your money out?
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: Because there's no VENMO back. Then oh, they go, yeah,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: that's always kind of an issue. And then it turned
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: into an issue connect your bank account on him?
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 4: Well yeah, and that's also.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: Well here's my problems. Here's here's my problem. I don't
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: don't even know how to connect them.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 4: I don't connected because I'd have to go.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: I'd have to go to the little general and say, hey,
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: I want to connect to the bank account. What for
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: this little thing called wagering sports wager members? You just

  Speaker 14: change in sports that I've not agreed with.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: And and the thing with that is it's not it's
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: not the official it's like the other ones we've been
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: telling that, not the great great talkback. That's the one
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: that just kind of evolved. It didn't. It's not like
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: an official thing. It's not a rule, right, it's just
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: but it's like a load man, I hate load management.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's just no, it's like a pet thing.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's it, all right.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: What do you got hey?
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: There? Ian Jessmine and Anders Chris e Buren, Chris E Burrien.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 15: The dumbest idea in sports is Ian losing a showdowing
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 15: Tiger Woods to use a driver under no circum stances.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 15: Should Tiger be allowed to drive anything, including.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 9: A golf ball. This has been your humor for the day.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: Let's go man airs Wolf, I'd be our friend, Chris
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: and Burion and beer. He got me too pretty hard, Fireway, Ian.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 16: Jess and rejection and Ferris feilt here just got done stomaching.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 16: But I could have Howard Chultzen everywhere, whatever the hell
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 16: it was. You know, it's pretty impressive to be both
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 16: a successful businessman and the failure failure failure. But Schultzi
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 16: likes to live at the motto procnelost dose.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 14: I did not like it.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: I did not enjoy it.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 4: And honestly, mister Schultz, you can lick my butt hole.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: Sounders at seven thirty.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry that sounded exactly like him.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: Sounders at seven thirty. That is what gets me every time.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 4: Can you play the first?
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: I think the last part we'm not sure if we
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: need to keep it in there. In fact, we probably
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: need to get out of it before the last line.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: But give me like, discuss me.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 16: It sounds Ian Jess, interjection, furious felts here just got
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 16: done something. But I could have Howard Chilten every where,
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 16: whatever the hell it was. You know, it's pretty impressive
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 16: to be both a successful businessman and the failure failure,
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 16: failure little Schultz. He likes to live by the motto
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 16: porkingalos does.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 4: That he is Jackson, right? I don't think so, Chatty number.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: That is insane, furious felts. He called himself. He's Jackson here.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 4: That is what the boys.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: We need to play that for Softy at two forty five.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: That's it's borderline terrifying, is what it is. Yeah, but
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: there's another one out there, because he's out there right
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: now doing like fun with audio or something.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 4: And he's okay, just use four five, five, go five? Okay,
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 4: oh one more? Uh we actually got two on one
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 4: just came in and it's good, all right. The worst
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 4: idea in sports one is the excess.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 13: Well, Vince McMahon, that's all you really need to say.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 12: Two is Ian giving up an hour of his show
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 12: for Fantasy Football Talk.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 4: Lord help us when they're running that show.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: We may need Clifford to call in. Well hopefully Clifford.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: Oh I will say this function is confirmed. He will
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: come on that day and talk to you guys. And
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: you've tried to explain.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 5: Why that Ian is he gonna explain your loss because
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 5: he gave you so much advice over the year.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: He didn't give me as much advice as I needed, apparently,
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: and the worst listen, I didn't want this to happen. Understand,
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: I've never been so stressed in fantasy football that I
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: wasn't there in the home stretch of this thing, like really,
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: like this can't happen and it will. Are you got
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: one more talk back?
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 13: Okay, Hey, Jess, I'll keep it positive. My favorite recently
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 13: thing in sports is the Hockey Kraken Network going on
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 13: for free games. I watch nine more games now that
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 13: they are free on the Crack and Hockey Network. That
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 13: is the best thing to happen to hockey in the
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 13: town in forever.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 4: Later, Goerner Crack and Hockey Network positivity.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: We love that. That's a good way to end.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, never reminded me of Mike and Ed.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: Bit. Let's put that in the audit.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 4: That's put that in the audit.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: Send that to Sam right away in the audit. Best
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: thing to happen is the Crack and Hockey Network KHN. Baby,
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: what about the Crack and Audio Network. But it's existed
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: for a while, it's been around, Paz. Yeah, kh and
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: the Crack and Hockey Networks only two years old. The
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: Crack and Audio Network and Network Central that's been there
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: since day one, Ladies and gentlemen, five tremendous years.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 4: All right, it sounded exactly like Mike.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: Did tell Ian Clifford should be part of the Fantasy Hour. Well,
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: if Clifford wants to call in during the Fantasy Hour,
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you'll take talkbacks on that. In fact, if
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: really I would say this, I would encourage more talkbacks
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: than ever before. That's less of them, more of you, yeah,
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: more of more or of you listening right now? We
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: trust you, guys, the listeners, more than we trust them.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna tell you this. A traveling band of idiots.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 6: Is what it is.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 4: Wait, are you talking about our show?
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 9: No?
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: No, the people that are filling in, filling in. I
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: was just saying, the people that are filling in is
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: it's a traveling band.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 5: But by the way, did you guys get the the
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 5: person that tweeted us about Clifford.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: They looked him up and looked like, who is this guy?
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 5: I got this explanation? Is Flifford. Taylor the Fourth is
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 5: known for his unusual path in sports. He was a
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 5: high school basketball player who went to the University of
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 5: Florida and essentially talked his way onto the football team
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 5: as a walk on. He also made a name for
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 5: himself on TikTok. Is there anything specific he'd like to know?
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 5: I guess this is from an Ai.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 4: I did see this.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 6: It is from and he talked his way to do
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 6: a podcast seventeen seventy six.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he talked his way into doing a podcast too, which.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 6: Is a revolutionary person with the seventeen seventy six.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 4: I wonder if that's true, and uh, we will find out.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 6: I don't think you can get a podcast without at
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 6: least doing something like that.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: Oh you can't. Oh, yes, podcast, I don't know about that.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 4: All right, I'm leaving. I'm starting my own. Yeah, probably
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 4: would be more successful than us, Yes I would. Yes,
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 4: all right, here we go.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: We get some text four and I'm way way back
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: to when they first came back. Yes, yes, yes, yes, Uh. Well,
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: by the way, Tim, when that Ian wasn't watching Colorado Minnesota,
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: I know I did when I watched the NBA and
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: gave me my little confession earlier. I watched the NBA
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: last night after anything else. Manders were done. Manyers played
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: five hockey games, and five they were both done. I
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: had had the computer screen up, and they're both done.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: Like you watched the n B A won't happen tonight? Well,
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: actually yes, no, because because there's a late hockey games
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: six starty.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 4: Game, you're still going to You're going to change.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: What do you what do you hate about sport? The
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: worst things that have happened, Like current hockey play form
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: where you get two of the best teams face off
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: each other in the first round. I agreee, And this
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: is actually that the NHL playoff format is very much
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: like March Madness in this sense. The only person that
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: likes the expansion of the tournament is, as Parish told
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: us yesterday, Greg Sank. The only one that likes the
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: playoff form of the NHL is Gary Beman. The problem
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: is they both basically run the show for the respective leagues.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's how it goes.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: How about three on three Olympic hockey? Yeah no, No,
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: let's see moving a professional basketball team from the thirteenth
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: market to the forty seventh rank TV market. Yeah, that
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: was a bad idea. That was a bad idea. Yeah,
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: This isn't an idea but a current practice. Putting MLS
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: games on a streaming service and requiring an NLS package,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: it is not.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 5: A current practice. If you have Apple TV, you get MLS.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 5: You know, have to pay the extra packet now, right,
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 5: But I think that was a bad idea. What was
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 5: going to Apple to V period for everybody? Yeah, because
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 5: you had a lot of teams, I think you should
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 5: have done it like you do with Yeah with baseball,
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 5: if you want to do be part of a national
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 5: package just behind a paywall, which.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: They're starting to have some of that going on.
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: One of them. Yeah.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: Fine, if you have a good local deal with local affiliates,
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: then you should be able to do that. Like you
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: look at the Yankees and the Sounders and the Sounders Portland,
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: Salt Lake, Kansas City and think all had really good
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: local TVNS. A lot of the West Coast teams to do. Yeah,
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: just let them do that. We talked about salary cap
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: as well. They need a salary cap floor, not a
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: salary cap. They are going to have a floor. So
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: if they do have a salary cap, they will have
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: a floor as well. That's kind of one positive side
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: if they do go that way, and I think there's
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: a couple of teams that would actually have to come
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: up if I'm not mistaken right now, right thyka at
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: least three or four?
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 6: Yes, Yes, I like this one from Jim that just
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 6: came in. Howard Schultz a man among men. Keep your
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 6: ass in Florida and keep our city out of your mind.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: We discussed that early in the show. Today, the Howard
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: Schultz off ed piece for the Wall Street Journal is
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: just Chris Daniels is the one that brought it up.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: Give Chris like in a way it could hurt us.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: Is he trying to circumvent the NBA coming back here?
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: I think he wants to be in on the I
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: think he wants to be involved, so he's trying to like,
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know he for a guy that's a billionaire,
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: he seems to be really dumb.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 4: Wait billionaire, Well.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: Give credit, give give him credit for credits to I mean,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: he built that thing up, He built it.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: I don't hate to do that, but.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 4: It's you're correct.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 5: I don't want you to be if you're looking at
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 5: strictly like him making it good business.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: Other bad ideas besides the NCA Trent Live golf sucks,
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: but I don't know if that counts because PGA didn't
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, the live was a bad idea, but
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: it was a mean did people start getting all upset
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: about this stuff. But the thing with the live is
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: it was done for one reason, sports washing. Nothing to
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: see here, move along, let's give our Yeah.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 4: It's I mean, you get offer that much money, It's like, well, hello.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about it when it first happen because
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: you know, a friend of the station, Arl Whites, the
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: play by play guy, Yeah he is, and you know,
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: I remember having that conversation. He got a lot of
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: crap for it. It's got a lot of grief. And
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: we had that conversation on the air. I know, I know,
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: I did a show on it and saying, okay, well,
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: if they came to you and said they're going to
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: pay you X to do it, would you do it?
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: And man, I don't know what the answer is. There
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: is a number. I'll say that everyone's got a number. Yeah, right,
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: everyone's got a number. And with that one specifically, well,
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: I think with that it's it's a little bit harder
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: for us to relate to because the average professional golfer,
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: not all of them. But guys that were being recruited
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: by Live are already people that are really well off.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: They've buy and large, they've already got all kinds of
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: sponsorship deals which you get paid for whether you win
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: or lose. But then you know, if you're good enough
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: for Live was trying to get you, you were making money.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: That was different.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 4: Also, let's be completely honest, if you're playing golf a lot, probably.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 6: Well off, like just in general, if you're being flown
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 6: to the Middle East to play golf.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but play that.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: They play all they play everywhere. Sorry, but if here's
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: the thing you're getting, you're getting paid by, you're getting
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: paid by the government's audio. Yeah, that would be scary
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 4: So okay, John Lund, Yes now or tomorrow tomorrow. It's
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 4: we're going to do tomorrow tomorrow.

• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: your ability to consume a high end brown water?
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 4: High end brown water. That sounds like whiskey to me,
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 4: that is whiskey. Yes, okay, I'm just making sure you
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 4: making a I got a.
• 1:48:14

• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: You got a good cow?
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 3: She bet here?
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: What do you got?
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 5: Four to five? What happens first? Dan Wilson gets ejected
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 5: or Cawl getting above two hundred batting?
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, when was the last time Wilson got ejected? Like
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: middle of last year?
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't get ejected.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 6: He doesn't, but he like did it, like I feel
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 6: like he doesn't when he actually does it, he's like,
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 6: I gotta remember this.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: I think that he got ejected when lou Panello was
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: in the stadium.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 4: Actually yeah, yeah, I did one of these things like
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 4: oh crap, but here.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: Wait wait, let's just go back for a seconds. So
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: do we are we really worried that Cal's gonna get
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: not get above two hundred? And what's this batting average?
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 4: Now? It's early?
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: Oh wait a second, stop it it's it's what it's
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: hanging on. No, no, no, uh he's hitting one fifty seven.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: It's gonna take quite a bit to get above to
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: to get above two hundred at this point.
• 1:49:12
