Chuck & Buck 6-29 Hour 4: ABC's of the Mariners, punting is SO sexy & one last thing! · Chuck in the Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Typically we don't have ABC's of the ms for the
0:03
Speaker 1: big fat segment coming out of an hour, but I
0:05
Speaker 1: think there's enough material here I could go. I could
0:08
Speaker 1: go all the way through f if you wanted.
0:11
Speaker 2: If we have I mean, let's just see where the
0:13
Speaker 2: alphabet takes us. I like that idea.
0:15
Speaker 1: See what the F?
0:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's what I put on our show sheet
0:19
Speaker 3: where I give all the notes for the show that
0:21
Speaker 3: we send them to the producers, and then we put
0:23
Speaker 3: on our podcast.
0:25
Speaker 2: The first thing I wrote, What the F?
0:27
Speaker 1: Is that? Right? Okay, well there's the theme here then,
0:30
Speaker 1: So we roll into our nine o'clock hour with the
0:33
Speaker 1: ABC's of the Ms brought to you by Sunset, Auto
0:36
Speaker 1: Family and Sumner in Auburn. You just get more at
0:38
Speaker 1: Sunset and people do like that. And we are at
0:40
Speaker 1: the beginning of the alphabet. And there are a few
0:43
Speaker 1: things that we have gotten into about Sunday and the
0:48
Speaker 1: entire weekend and rather viciously, which we'll probably get back
0:53
Speaker 1: into again with the alphabet, we'll see where it guides us.
0:56
Speaker 1: But there are few things we haven't gotten into, including
0:58
Speaker 1: a very first letter is for Austin, as in Austin Hedges,
1:04
Speaker 1: what did you make of that exchange with he and
1:07
Speaker 1: Josh Naylor in the game yesterday. I mean, it's one
1:11
Speaker 1: thing to have a heated exchange. Josh Naylor seems to
1:14
Speaker 1: get under people's skin, particularly opponents. But I don't know
1:20
Speaker 1: if I liked that what Austin Hedges was saying to
1:25
Speaker 1: Josh Naylor, did you catch it?
1:27
Speaker 2: I didn't catch what he was saying. I was watching
1:29
Speaker 2: it without volume on.
1:30
Speaker 1: Well, obviously they were former teammates and obviously don't have
1:33
Speaker 1: a great relationship. And Naylor clear takes the pitch in
1:37
Speaker 1: the arm and then heads down to first and Hedges
1:40
Speaker 1: yells something about him like leaning into the pitch, which
1:43
Speaker 1: she didn't get out of the way. You're supposed to
1:45
Speaker 1: get out of the way, you can, He certainly didn't
1:48
Speaker 1: get out of the way. And then Naylor said something
1:50
Speaker 1: back to him, and Austin Edges literally said to him,
1:56
Speaker 1: no one likes you, literally, no one likes you like
2:01
Speaker 1: So that was him speaking on behalf of his entire team.
2:06
Speaker 1: And I will tell you not to stir up any dirt,
2:09
Speaker 1: but Austin Edges and cal Raley are really close. I
2:14
Speaker 1: hope he wasn't speaking on behalf of any Mariners.
2:16
Speaker 3: I don't think Cal would even say anything if he
2:18
Speaker 3: didn't like him. Yeah, well I did tell anybody.
2:21
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I hope that uh, I don't know.
2:24
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Naylor won us over as fans, for sure.
2:28
Speaker 1: He seems to be beloved in that locker room, seems
2:32
Speaker 1: to be but he's a different cat, There's no question
2:35
Speaker 1: about it. He kind of marches to the beat of
2:38
Speaker 1: his own drum. He does some things on the baseball
2:41
Speaker 1: field that if he wasn't on your team you'd hate him.
2:43
Speaker 4: For I would hate him, yeah exactly, But that's somebody
2:48
Speaker 4: but okay, but that's somebody that played with him and
2:52
Speaker 4: obviously didn't like him and is speaking on behalf of
2:55
Speaker 4: the entire Guardians organization.
2:57
Speaker 1: So what it kind of led me to believe, led
3:00
Speaker 1: me to think is that maybe Josh Naylor's act did
3:04
Speaker 1: get old for the Cleveland Guardians, and I hope that
3:08
Speaker 1: it doesn't here because of how much because pretty much
3:11
Speaker 1: the rest of the day on social media was spent
3:14
Speaker 1: with Mariner fans saying I like him. Yeah yeah, So
3:19
Speaker 1: obviously it's not everyone dislikes him, but for that to
3:24
Speaker 1: come from a former guardian and for that to come
3:27
Speaker 1: from somebody like Austin Hedges, who I don't really never
3:30
Speaker 1: has struck me as somebody that is a jerk, but
3:35
Speaker 1: that was kind of personal. I hope that Josh Naylor,
3:40
Speaker 1: who seems to have a good relationship with the Mariners
3:44
Speaker 1: players and with our fan base, I hope he doesn't
3:48
Speaker 1: end up rubbing our guys the wrong way with some
3:50
Speaker 1: of his antics, like he apparently did Cleveland on his
3:54
Speaker 1: way out the door.
3:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I do.
3:56
Speaker 3: I do wonder if maybe those guys didn't have a
3:59
Speaker 3: problem with him when he was on their team, but
4:01
Speaker 3: the second he left, it was like, Oh, that guy
4:03
Speaker 3: and the things that he does, I don't like it
4:05
Speaker 3: because now he's on a different team. I don't know. I,
4:08
Speaker 3: as I said, I didn't hear the exchange. I actually
4:10
Speaker 3: ended up trying to turn the volume up to see
4:12
Speaker 3: what was going on because they were kept showing Naylor
4:14
Speaker 3: and he's turning around and he's grabbing his arm and
4:18
Speaker 3: Brad Aaron was saying like, oh, is he trying to
4:21
Speaker 3: say it.
4:22
Speaker 2: Didn't hit him?
4:23
Speaker 3: And I was like, well, that's weird. It was pretty
4:25
Speaker 3: obvious it hit him, So I couldn't understand it.
4:27
Speaker 1: Oh no, they were angry that they didn't feel like
4:29
Speaker 1: he tried in any way to get out of the way,
4:32
Speaker 1: and so he said something and Naylor said something back,
4:35
Speaker 1: and then Hedges said to him, no one likes you, literally,
4:39
Speaker 1: no one likes you. And I you know he has
4:43
Speaker 1: friendships with people on the Mariners, so I hope that
4:47
Speaker 1: that isn't the case. I'll just say that, Yeah, I
4:50
Speaker 1: hope that's not the case.
4:51
Speaker 3: I hope that's not the case. And I'm almost picturing
4:54
Speaker 3: like did they go in and everybody was like, don't worry, josh.
4:57
Speaker 2: We like you.
4:58
Speaker 1: We like you, man, I don't know. I don't know,
5:00
Speaker 1: or does Josh not care? And then Joshua's like do
5:03
Speaker 1: something about it, which, yeah, well there's something weird going
5:08
Speaker 1: on there. B is for bullpen, and let's face it,
5:12
Speaker 1: this is the big topic of the day. I've already
5:15
Speaker 1: ranted about this twice, actually three times this morning, but
5:19
Speaker 1: ABC's at the m says, we got to rant about
5:21
Speaker 1: it one more time. If you listened to this show
5:24
Speaker 1: for any amount of time, then you know that I've
5:26
Speaker 1: had a problem with Dan Wilson's bullpen decisions going all
5:30
Speaker 1: the way back to last year, certainly the playoffs, and
5:33
Speaker 1: then this year I've had even a bigger problem with
5:35
Speaker 1: him than I did at anytime a year ago, and
5:38
Speaker 1: I realized that he is operating with a lot of
5:41
Speaker 1: different rules that restrict him from just going out there
5:45
Speaker 1: and putting in the guy that's the best decision for
5:49
Speaker 1: winning that game. I mean, obviously from on high, the
5:53
Speaker 1: organization has made some determinations on who is available and
5:57
Speaker 1: for how long they were available on every given day,
6:01
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that's they go over that when they
6:04
Speaker 1: meet before every single game. Jose Ferrer was clearly not
6:08
Speaker 1: available yesterday. I don't really know why. The guy seems
6:13
Speaker 1: like a horse. Yes, he pitched on back to back days,
6:16
Speaker 1: but only ten pitches one day eleven pitches the other day.
6:20
Speaker 1: It's not like he was overburdened, over taxed. If he
6:24
Speaker 1: got into a little bit of trouble, you had other
6:25
Speaker 1: guys that you could have gone to. But the decision
6:28
Speaker 1: was made before the game started that Jose Ferrara is
6:31
Speaker 1: not going to be available. Okay, fine, I can live
6:34
Speaker 1: with that. Also, very clear that this organization has made
6:38
Speaker 1: a couple of decisions about whether they're they're their most
6:42
Speaker 1: precious high leverage guys. They're not going to go more
6:46
Speaker 1: than an inning. Gabe Spier hasn't done it all season long.
6:50
Speaker 1: The Zardo hasn't done it since I think May second
6:54
Speaker 1: is the last time that he went over an inning.
6:56
Speaker 1: And obviously they don't want munyos going over an inning.
7:00
Speaker 1: Oh all right, we've got one guy not available because
7:02
Speaker 1: he went back to back days, and we've got three
7:05
Speaker 1: guys that can pitch no more than an inning. Okay,
7:08
Speaker 1: don't know if I necessarily think that should be a rule.
7:12
Speaker 1: But if that's what we're stating, that that's a rule, fine,
7:17
Speaker 1: then you add another rule on this. It's not just
7:20
Speaker 1: more than an inning. If a guy comes in in
7:23
Speaker 1: the middle of an inning, he can't go back out
7:26
Speaker 1: for another inning. So this is another thing that they're
7:29
Speaker 1: not going to allow their pitchers to do. And if
7:31
Speaker 1: it's in the name of health, and it is a
7:34
Speaker 1: long season, which I remind people all the time, it
7:37
Speaker 1: is a marathon, not a sprint. All right, there's another rule.
7:40
Speaker 1: Hopefully we loosen these rules up as we go. Uh,
7:44
Speaker 1: when the games really do start to you know, not
7:48
Speaker 1: when the games really do start to like, hey, if
7:51
Speaker 1: we don't win this, we're in trouble kind of feeling
7:55
Speaker 1: maybe the rules will change at that point, but I
7:57
Speaker 1: hope that they do loosen up as we go. But
8:00
Speaker 1: even with all of that, even with all of that,
8:04
Speaker 1: Dan Wilson was equipped with the knowledge before the game started,
8:07
Speaker 1: Jose Ferrara is not available. The Zardo spire and Munjos
8:12
Speaker 1: can go three outs maximum, and they can't begin an
8:15
Speaker 1: inning after finishing the previous inning. So why are we
8:22
Speaker 1: not managing around that? If you have that information, why
8:27
Speaker 1: in the sixth inning when Emerson Hancock's not even in
8:30
Speaker 1: trouble and he's not over one hundred pitches, which it
8:34
Speaker 1: kind of feels like the rule is if you're over
8:36
Speaker 1: ninety five you have to come out of the game.
8:37
Speaker 1: It seems like to be another rule. So if Emerson
8:41
Speaker 1: Hancock's out there, got the first two guys out in
8:43
Speaker 1: the sixth, he walks the next hitter. He didn't look
8:48
Speaker 1: to me like he was on his last leg, and
8:52
Speaker 1: he didn't even have a runner in scoring position, and
8:54
Speaker 1: he hadn't given up a hard contact the entire inning,
8:59
Speaker 1: and we just side with two outs, a runner at first,
9:03
Speaker 1: with the eight to nine hitters coming up, let's burn
9:06
Speaker 1: Bizardo's inning for one out. So you know you've only
9:13
Speaker 1: got nine outs to work with with your three high
9:16
Speaker 1: leverage guys tonight, and you've got four plus innings now
9:20
Speaker 1: to Phil. Excuse me, three plus innings now to Phil.
9:26
Speaker 1: And so you're going to take one of the reliable three,
9:31
Speaker 1: knowing that you have three or four unreliable guys in
9:35
Speaker 1: your bullpen who have never pitched in high leverage situations
9:38
Speaker 1: with a couple of exceptions. And so you're going to
9:43
Speaker 1: burn Bizardo's inning on one out and then not allow
9:48
Speaker 1: him to start the next inning. That's malpractice. And now
9:54
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you've just wasted a resource for
9:58
Speaker 1: a third of an inning where you could just let
10:00
Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock see if you could get out the eighth
10:02
Speaker 1: the ninth hitters with a three run lead, Bizardo's used
10:07
Speaker 1: up for the day, spires used against the lefties for
10:10
Speaker 1: the seventh, And now you get to the eighth inning
10:13
Speaker 1: and you have to go to a guy that has
10:15
Speaker 1: never performed in that role ever in his career, and
10:20
Speaker 1: you have your closer sitting there pacing back and forth
10:25
Speaker 1: in the bullpen, and you never even used him, never
10:29
Speaker 1: even got him out on the mound for goodness sake,
10:33
Speaker 1: because you're making stuff up as you go. If you're
10:38
Speaker 1: gonna have all of these rules, you at the very
10:42
Speaker 1: least have to be able to do simple math. I've
10:46
Speaker 1: got three pitchers. I trust they're gonna have to get
10:50
Speaker 1: nine outs at the end of the game. So you
10:54
Speaker 1: don't sacrifice two of those outs in the middle of
10:57
Speaker 1: an inning where there's not even a threat to of
11:00
Speaker 1: a run being scored. There's nobody even in scoring position
11:04
Speaker 1: at that point, and yet you burn Bizardo in the
11:08
Speaker 1: sixth inning. I mean, the truth of the matter is,
11:11
Speaker 1: this is the problem I've had with Dan Wilson for
11:13
Speaker 1: a year and a half, and it's not only not
11:15
Speaker 1: getting better, it is getting worse. He seems lost, and
11:20
Speaker 1: I am tired of watching him nervously stand there and
11:23
Speaker 1: fidget and still end up blowing the decision to who
11:28
Speaker 1: to put into the baseball game. And I know that
11:31
Speaker 1: Justin and Jerry have some say on how they want
11:34
Speaker 1: it mapped out before the game starts. Once the game begins,
11:38
Speaker 1: that's on Dan. He's not answering a phone in the
11:43
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse, he's not looking at text he's not
11:46
Speaker 1: looking at his watch, his hands are in the back
11:48
Speaker 1: of his pockets, and he's basically shaking. Oh my gosh,
11:54
Speaker 1: I had to make a decision and they're the wrong decisions.
11:59
Speaker 3: Yep.
12:00
Speaker 1: He's bad at it, and so I'm going to suggest
12:05
Speaker 1: one of two things, take it away from him or
12:08
Speaker 1: take him away, because it's not getting better. And it
12:14
Speaker 1: sounds like their solution is no, no, no, no, We're just
12:16
Speaker 1: gonna get a more bullpen help so that we're too
12:19
Speaker 1: big to fail. If we have seven guys that we
12:21
Speaker 1: rely on, that we can count on, then he can't
12:25
Speaker 1: possibly screw up the decision. Something's got change. Yeah, So
12:31
Speaker 1: either he needs a crash course on how to do
12:34
Speaker 1: it right, or he has to have the responsibility taken
12:38
Speaker 1: away from him. And I know that Dan Wilson brings
12:41
Speaker 1: some good things to the table. I know that. I
12:43
Speaker 1: know that, but this is his weakness and it's not
12:48
Speaker 1: getting better. It's actually getting worse. And I am tired
12:51
Speaker 1: of fumblefing these games away because our manager doesn't know
12:56
Speaker 1: when to go to the right guy at the right
12:58
Speaker 1: time in the bullpen. That's it, It's fair, that's my speech.
13:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it. I mean I don't like it
13:07
Speaker 2: that we're having to say it.
13:08
Speaker 1: Yeahs four Cal cal Raley spoke out. We just talked
13:14
Speaker 1: about this in Baseball Brunch. Cal says that you know
13:18
Speaker 1: what we're not We're not showing up for nine innings,
13:22
Speaker 1: which I think is another problem. It's one of those
13:25
Speaker 1: things that we just as we discussed at eight thirty,
13:27
Speaker 1: that maybe you don't discuss outwardly as somebody that's not
13:33
Speaker 1: played the game. You know, you're a little hesitant to
13:37
Speaker 1: accuse a baseball player. You know, it's a slow moving game.
13:41
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it looks like they're not putting forth
13:45
Speaker 1: one hundred percent effort, and yet they might be. They
13:49
Speaker 1: might be locked in, they might be focused. The game
13:51
Speaker 1: just moves slowly and you're losing and it's not turning out,
13:54
Speaker 1: And so a baseball fan might react with did they
13:59
Speaker 1: even care? Are they even trying? They might react that way.
14:03
Speaker 1: But boy, when your captain says we're not showing up
14:05
Speaker 1: for nine innings, that kind of empowers every single person
14:10
Speaker 1: that has wondered whether or not the best efforts being
14:15
Speaker 1: given on a night to night basis, And that also
14:17
Speaker 1: falls on Dan. His job is to get the most
14:20
Speaker 1: out of his team, and he's got his captain saying
14:23
Speaker 1: we're only showing up for an hour and an hour
14:26
Speaker 1: and a half per night. Oh, that's not a good look.
14:31
Speaker 2: No, the team should be embarrassed.
14:33
Speaker 1: Oh and I don't know if it goes that far,
14:36
Speaker 1: but it got far enough that Cal said something at
14:39
Speaker 1: the end of the road trip, and I would think
14:42
Speaker 1: that that guy, Yeah, he carries a big stick, but
14:45
Speaker 1: he also speaks, he speaks loudly. I would think I
14:48
Speaker 1: would hope for this team. If he's seeing it, then
14:52
Speaker 1: we're not all screwy. Yeah, there must be something to it.
14:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, and which I guess ways is not rewarding. Isn't
15:01
Speaker 3: the right word, but it is. It gives you a
15:03
Speaker 3: little bit of vindication of watching this team and thinking
15:06
Speaker 3: these things and getting frustrated with I mean, we've talked
15:09
Speaker 3: about You can see it on their faces when they
15:11
Speaker 3: get down or when they think that it's over. I mean,
15:14
Speaker 3: and I don't know that that changes how their efforts are,
15:16
Speaker 3: how they're playing, but it is disheartening as a fan
15:19
Speaker 3: to watch it and be like, oh, now they look
15:21
Speaker 3: like they're done and the game's only halfway over. Yeah,
15:26
Speaker 3: So to have them say it was kind of like, Okay, well,
15:28
Speaker 3: at least we didn't imagine.
15:29
Speaker 1: It well on a day of frustration. It was a
15:32
Speaker 1: night of frustration. A lot of people described it as
15:35
Speaker 1: the worst loss of the year. So you're going to
15:39
Speaker 1: have a Monday of sports talk radio fury. It's just
15:43
Speaker 1: gonna happen. You know. I couldn't really, I'm I wasn't
15:46
Speaker 1: going to come on here and spin it positively, but
15:49
Speaker 1: I would at least say this. I mean, I don't
15:53
Speaker 1: think they could play worse than what they have through
15:55
Speaker 1: eighty five games. I still think they're the, if not
15:59
Speaker 1: most town roster in the American League, the second most.
16:02
Speaker 1: It sounds like, according to all reports, that not only
16:05
Speaker 1: are they in the market to add to this team,
16:09
Speaker 1: but they might be shopping right now, which normally they
16:12
Speaker 1: don't till mid July. They're looking for bullpen help and
16:16
Speaker 1: they're looking for a bat. And through it all, even
16:20
Speaker 1: though they fell under five hundred and they fell out
16:23
Speaker 1: of first place, when they never even played like a
16:27
Speaker 1: first place team at any time this year, you're still
16:30
Speaker 1: only a half game out a first place, and you
16:34
Speaker 1: still have every opportunity to do what you've done each
16:37
Speaker 1: of the last two years, and that is just catch
16:39
Speaker 1: fire in the second half of the season. I still
16:42
Speaker 1: think they're going to figure it out. I still think
16:44
Speaker 1: they're going to pull away. But this is just what
16:48
Speaker 1: we go through. Is through the first half of the season,
16:52
Speaker 1: nothing but frustrations. And it's bad enough that you're having
16:57
Speaker 1: trouble scoring runs. It's bad enough that it it looks
17:00
Speaker 1: like you're not one hundred percent focused during the course
17:04
Speaker 1: of any given game. But when you start just giving
17:07
Speaker 1: games away because your manager can't figure out how to
17:11
Speaker 1: get through nine innings or a weekend series with his bullpen.
17:15
Speaker 1: Most teams don't even have four reliable relievers, and we
17:20
Speaker 1: can't get through a series without some sort of glitch
17:26
Speaker 1: and can't go to a guy who's best for the
17:29
Speaker 1: job in that moment, and that to me is intolerable. Yeah,
17:35
Speaker 1: I don't have any more patience for it anymore. And
17:38
Speaker 1: I'm not calling for heads, and I'm not calling for
17:40
Speaker 1: anybody's job at this point, but that aspect of that
17:43
Speaker 1: job either needs to be course corrected, taught up, schooled up,
17:50
Speaker 1: or taken completely out of his hands because he does
17:53
Speaker 1: not know what he's doing game simulations.
17:56
Speaker 2: I'm telling you.
17:56
Speaker 1: Game simulations, all right, coming up next. You know, you
18:01
Speaker 1: thought you were done with the Seahawks one series, and
18:04
Speaker 1: then I pulled you back in Sports Radio ninety three
18:07
Speaker 1: point three KJRFM. I'm try to survive that last second.
18:31
Speaker 2: It was touch and go there for a minute.
18:32
Speaker 1: It was a little touch and go there, like now
18:35
Speaker 1: that we're on YouTube, I can't make like adjustments to
18:40
Speaker 1: my being. And then you get on the air and
18:44
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it felt like a hair, like
18:47
Speaker 1: from my mustache, which I did trim just yesterday, like
18:51
Speaker 1: went up inside my nose, and yet I couldn't do
18:57
Speaker 1: anything about it because I was afraid it would be
19:00
Speaker 1: misinterpreted as something else.
19:03
Speaker 2: I just like that. You say, I can't adjust my being.
19:05
Speaker 1: I can't adjust my being with these cameras catching my
19:09
Speaker 1: because sure enough, somebody turns that into something that it's not.
19:13
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna spend my entire day on social
19:16
Speaker 1: media going it was a hair.
19:17
Speaker 2: I just had a hair. I was not picking my
19:20
Speaker 2: nose and eating it.
19:22
Speaker 1: I didn't eat the hair. I know.
19:25
Speaker 2: I had to make it as bad as it could
19:26
Speaker 2: have been. If you were doing the nose picking.
19:28
Speaker 1: You were see an adult do that though stopsing your tracks, doesn't.
19:31
Speaker 2: It picking your nose and eating it. I don't think
19:33
Speaker 2: I've seen that.
19:34
Speaker 1: Oh I've seen it. I've seen it with somebody. You know,
19:39
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it on the air.
19:41
Speaker 2: Right, I'll tell you the break, Okay, I can't wait.
19:45
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I can't stand stuff like in
19:48
Speaker 1: my teeth or in my nose. I think there's like
19:50
Speaker 1: a psychological thing about that. I don't know what it is,
19:53
Speaker 1: but like just from yeah, like my nose starts hitting,
19:57
Speaker 1: I have to itch it and if I yeah, and
19:59
Speaker 1: so oh, now we got these cameras and now I'm
20:02
Speaker 1: afraid how it's going to be interpreted. So I just
20:03
Speaker 1: had like a twenty minute rant the entire time wanting
20:07
Speaker 1: to scream. So if I said something wrong or inappropriate,
20:11
Speaker 1: it just.
20:11
Speaker 3: Made you look more emotional about theess that what it did.
20:14
Speaker 2: It did.
20:15
Speaker 1: It worked.
20:16
Speaker 2: I thought you sold the segment. Great job, And somebody's watched.
20:20
Speaker 1: Like he's getting ready to.
20:21
Speaker 2: Cry over Dan really frustrated about this.
20:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, even now like it stuff, I.
20:28
Speaker 2: Know you're making me think that I've got.
20:30
Speaker 1: No no just my being no not at all.
20:32
Speaker 2: You don't know because I'm like feeling like I'm itchy.
20:34
Speaker 1: You're being as adjusted.
20:36
Speaker 2: Hopefully you don't have all of this, like the no
20:39
Speaker 2: I shaved this morning.
20:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have the whiskers.
20:42
Speaker 2: People are going to be like, wait, you shave your face.
20:44
Speaker 1: Do women even have nose hair?
20:46
Speaker 2: Yeah? It just doesn't tend to grow as long as.
20:51
Speaker 1: Ridiculous. Yeah, And I think my eyebrows have grown out.
20:55
Speaker 1: I think they've almost like I think they've like run out.
20:59
Speaker 2: Oh Jesus, they just they'd had enough.
21:02
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if like your eyebrows
21:04
Speaker 1: grow and grow and grow and then one day they're like,
21:07
Speaker 1: there's no more eyebrows.
21:08
Speaker 3: I feel like they grow and grow and grow, and
21:09
Speaker 3: then sometimes you just get unruly ones that are like
21:12
Speaker 3: seven feet long.
21:13
Speaker 1: Yeah. Those the yeah, the rogue ones. Yeah. You just
21:16
Speaker 1: wake up one morning and you're like, how do I
21:18
Speaker 1: have a nine foot hair coming out of my eyebrow?
21:21
Speaker 5: Yeah?
21:21
Speaker 1: How did I not see that last night? Yeah?
21:23
Speaker 3: It didn't grow nine feet overnight, And if it did,
21:26
Speaker 3: we need to give the rest of our hairs whatever
21:27
Speaker 3: that eyebrow is on, and help them grow as fast
21:30
Speaker 3: as possible.
21:31
Speaker 1: My only explanation is that it did grow overnight nine
21:34
Speaker 1: feet long. It's crazy because there's no way I wouldn't
21:37
Speaker 1: have seen this thing that's coming out of I would
21:39
Speaker 1: think so it just happens every one once in a while.
21:43
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think.
21:44
Speaker 2: I mean, like, do I have random chin hairs? As
21:46
Speaker 2: we're talking about all this stuff.
21:47
Speaker 1: Obviously, like men, we're worried about like we're gonna go
21:50
Speaker 1: bald and then that won't ever grow back? Right, Yeah,
21:54
Speaker 1: But does it happen to eyebrows? I've never heard it
21:57
Speaker 1: with eyebrows. I mean, I think I have receding eyebrow.
22:00
Speaker 2: I'll look it up if it's a medical condition.
22:02
Speaker 1: Because they are so light now, it's just they, I know,
22:06
Speaker 1: but there's barely anything there anymore.
22:08
Speaker 2: I'll get you some eyebrow gel. We can put it
22:11
Speaker 2: on color them.
22:12
Speaker 1: Yes, I think that's what we should do.
22:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll work on it.
22:15
Speaker 3: Let's I mean we're on YouTube now, Chuck, I think
22:17
Speaker 3: you need to embrace makeup.
22:18
Speaker 1: Let's just tomorrow give me really thick, bushy brown my brow.
22:23
Speaker 1: So why not?
22:24
Speaker 2: I think we need to?
22:25
Speaker 1: Why not? Okay, I'm not trying to impress the ladies anymore.
22:29
Speaker 1: It would be so funny, might as well get a laugh, yeah,
22:32
Speaker 1: out of my deteriorating books.
22:33
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
22:34
Speaker 1: Let's mock you, all right, let's do the Seahawks one series.
22:40
Speaker 1: Of course, throughout the month of June, we've been doing
22:42
Speaker 1: our Seahawks one series, and we were wrapping things up
22:46
Speaker 1: on Friday when suddenly Ashley and I realized midweek of
22:50
Speaker 1: last week that no one picked Emon Warri and no
22:53
Speaker 1: one picked Leonard Williams.
22:54
Speaker 2: Which is crazy.
22:55
Speaker 1: So we're not gonna quit.
22:56
Speaker 2: Yep.
22:57
Speaker 1: We got to break those two guys down, and so
22:59
Speaker 1: we're gonna do that, and we were going to bring
23:01
Speaker 1: back our two big guys. Greg Bell's going to do
23:03
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams tomorrow. We'll get Hugh to do Emon Warry.
23:06
Speaker 1: Even though I was supposed to call him this weekend.
23:08
Speaker 1: Wasn't I to tell him?
23:09
Speaker 5: No?
23:09
Speaker 1: I asked, Oh, you asked him?
23:10
Speaker 3: We decided I was texting him, okay, and he'll follow
23:13
Speaker 3: up probably with whatever questions he has with a phone
23:15
Speaker 3: call to you.
23:15
Speaker 1: And then for sure we're done on Wednesday with it.
23:18
Speaker 1: Even Warrior will be our last one. But now we've
23:20
Speaker 1: got this bridge DA, so we might as well do
23:22
Speaker 1: our Seahawks one series recap. We had John Ryan on Friday.
23:25
Speaker 1: We've never talked about the kicking game. So there's a
23:28
Speaker 1: great breakdown of Michael Dixon and Jason Myers, and it
23:32
Speaker 1: was fun. It was a really interesting, enlightening conversation about
23:35
Speaker 1: kicking and punning and the relationships and everything else. But
23:39
Speaker 1: we ended on a kind of a hilarious note when
23:42
Speaker 1: I asked John Ryan, how many miles worth of punting
23:46
Speaker 1: do you think that you've kicked in your lifetime.
23:48
Speaker 5: That's a good question. She would have wrapped its way
23:51
Speaker 5: around the world a few times, that's for sure.
23:53
Speaker 1: I remember I was in high school. Do you remember
23:55
Speaker 1: the name Craig Hentrick. Oh yeah, yeah, Well Craig Hentrick
24:00
Speaker 1: was my rival in high school baseball, rival in high school,
24:04
Speaker 1: and yet we were we were we we got along
24:06
Speaker 1: really well. But he was, you know, all American kicker
24:11
Speaker 1: and punter. And I'm not kidding you. In my small
24:13
Speaker 1: little home, down the lights, like three hours before the
24:17
Speaker 1: game started, when we faced Marquette and Craig Hentrick were
24:20
Speaker 1: down the street in my country Cornfield High School. You
24:26
Speaker 1: could not see the end of the lights. It was
24:27
Speaker 1: like field of dreams. It really was. It was like
24:29
Speaker 1: down people trying to get in so that they could
24:32
Speaker 1: watch him warm up with his kicks and punts, because
24:35
Speaker 1: obviously no one in my community had ever seen anybody
24:38
Speaker 1: that good. So don't let anybody tell you, John Ryan,
24:42
Speaker 1: that kicking and punting for distance is not sexy, because
24:46
Speaker 1: I watched it firsthand. Craig Hentrick. He brought a crowd
24:49
Speaker 1: from all over the state of Illinois to see him
24:51
Speaker 1: every Friday.
24:52
Speaker 5: Ye yeah, I mean in this I was old, kicking
24:55
Speaker 5: and puning is the sexiest thing ever. And just ask
24:57
Speaker 5: my wife, Okay, it's when I'm when I'm playing football
25:03
Speaker 5: and basically Ryan goshling out there.
25:08
Speaker 1: Did you ever have a game where it just turned
25:10
Speaker 1: her on so much that you know, you couldn't even
25:12
Speaker 1: wait to get back in the house.
25:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that was. I mean I played one hundred
25:17
Speaker 5: and ninety two games in the NFL, I would say
25:19
Speaker 5: all of them.
25:24
Speaker 3: I also think he almost swore there. I think he
25:28
Speaker 3: almost went like I played one hundred ninety two fing games.
25:31
Speaker 1: Which would have been great, Which would have been great.
25:33
Speaker 1: I wonder how she reacted when he broke his face
25:35
Speaker 1: that one time on the fake punt and the cold weather.
25:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think she was.
25:39
Speaker 1: Not even a fake punt. It was him trying to
25:42
Speaker 1: make chicken salad.
25:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, was that what it was?
25:44
Speaker 1: He smashed his face on the cold, frozen ground.
25:47
Speaker 2: Then didn't have to go to the hospital.
25:49
Speaker 1: I think he did later. Yeah, yeah, it was. That
25:51
Speaker 1: was not pretty, but I didn't. I decided not to
25:54
Speaker 1: bring that up. I just brought up sexy Ryan Stiff.
25:56
Speaker 3: I mean, and that's good, you know what, why not
25:58
Speaker 3: focus on that, That's what they're focusing on. We already discovered,
26:02
Speaker 3: right sports punting for sure, and booze and being funny.
26:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so it's a good household, it is, and
26:11
Speaker 1: and I was glad we got to do and again.
26:13
Speaker 1: You can go to ninety three three KJR dot com
26:16
Speaker 1: to check out the entire conversation. But it was a
26:18
Speaker 1: really good conversation, some really interesting things. His thoughts on
26:21
Speaker 1: why kickers and punters seem to have an unlimited leg
26:26
Speaker 1: strength now, like there doesn't seem to be a field
26:28
Speaker 1: goal that is not there doesn't seem to be a
26:30
Speaker 1: place on the field anymore that's not in field goal range.
26:33
Speaker 1: And we ended up talking about Jason Myers too, not
26:36
Speaker 1: just Michael Dixon and then his acknowledgment of you know,
26:41
Speaker 1: Michael Dixon has a few tricks up his sleeve, but yeah,
26:44
Speaker 1: he's just that good. I mean, it's just keeps getting better,
26:47
Speaker 1: the legs keep getting stronger, the training keeps getting better,
26:51
Speaker 1: and so some good stuff, some fascinating stuff, certainly out
26:55
Speaker 1: of him. But also there was a portion of the
26:58
Speaker 1: conversation where we talked about the value of special teams.
27:01
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever appreciated it more on
27:04
Speaker 1: a football team that I did this past year with
27:06
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I mean, they won a championship with all
27:12
Speaker 1: three phases, and I think that's the first time I've
27:16
Speaker 1: ever acknowledged that that I've ever admitted that about a team.
27:20
Speaker 1: And maybe that's because I've had my own biases built
27:23
Speaker 1: up and I've not given that its proper credit. But
27:26
Speaker 1: I'll say this experiencing what this team that did this
27:28
Speaker 1: past year. Obviously, defense was great, Sam Darnold was terrific,
27:36
Speaker 1: and the offense put up numbers, and then the special
27:40
Speaker 1: teams was just fantas And I'm not just talking about
27:42
Speaker 1: Dixon and Myers. I'm talking about coverage, talking about return game,
27:46
Speaker 1: what she he brought to this team. I mean, by
27:49
Speaker 1: the end of the season, they were the best team
27:51
Speaker 1: in the National Football League because they were excellent in
27:54
Speaker 1: all three phases and maybe never offensively excellent, but very good. Yeah,
28:01
Speaker 1: and then excellent defensively asked the Patriots, and then excellent
28:05
Speaker 1: and special teams. I guess the first time, man, I
28:08
Speaker 1: watched teams like the Rams Greatest Show on Turf win
28:11
Speaker 1: just because of their offense. I watched the Ravens win
28:15
Speaker 1: just because of their defense with ray Lewis. But this season,
28:18
Speaker 1: I don't think there was any doubt about it. The
28:20
Speaker 1: Seahawks were world champs this year because of how good
28:23
Speaker 1: they were in all three phases of the game by
28:27
Speaker 1: the end of the year.
28:28
Speaker 5: Yeah.
28:28
Speaker 3: And that's what they say too, right, is you got
28:30
Speaker 3: to peek at the right time, and boy did they
28:32
Speaker 3: They figured it all out, no doubt.
28:33
Speaker 1: All right. Coming up next, we're going to close things
28:35
Speaker 1: out with one last thing. I will mention one other
28:38
Speaker 1: thing though about the Seahawks one series. This Friday, we're

Speaker 1: doing a best of So if you missed the Seahawks

Speaker 1: one series, I don't know what you're doing on Friday,

Speaker 1: get it done.
30:02
Speaker 2: Makes sense to me.
30:03
Speaker 1: All right, we close out with one last thing. Anything
30:06
Speaker 1: that's on your mind? Actually, where do you want to go?
30:08
Speaker 2: Well, I gotta say something weird happened.
30:11
Speaker 3: To me this past weekend. And this is the second
30:14
Speaker 3: type it's happened in the year, and before that it
30:16
Speaker 3: hadn't happened in twenty five years. I got stung by
30:21
Speaker 3: a bee on Saturday twice, which is like, also not
30:25
Speaker 3: a thing they're supposed to do, because they were only
30:26
Speaker 3: supposed to sting you once and then they die, well
30:28
Speaker 3: some of them. And this wasn't a wasp or a hornet.
30:31
Speaker 3: It was like a little kind of even somewhat fuzzy bee.
30:35
Speaker 3: And it was sitting on the seat of the golf cart.
30:37
Speaker 1: Fuzzy bee.
30:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, sitting on the seat of the golf cart. I
30:40
Speaker 2: didn't know. I slid in there. He was like, hey, hey.
30:43
Speaker 3: Move lady, sting, sting, And then I freaked out and
30:47
Speaker 3: flung him and then my friend picked him up and
30:48
Speaker 3: put him on a tree and he was still alive.
30:50
Speaker 3: And this is where I've gotten in my life.
30:52
Speaker 2: Though I then felt bad for the.
30:54
Speaker 1: Bee, h even though it's stung yea.
30:57
Speaker 3: Even though I just was going about my business, but
30:59
Speaker 3: so was the and I didn't want the bee to
31:01
Speaker 3: die because the bee was going about it's business. And
31:03
Speaker 3: I thought to myself, is this where I've gotten in
31:06
Speaker 3: my life? I love animals so much that I'm now
31:08
Speaker 3: upset that a bee stung me because the bee might die.
31:14
Speaker 2: That's where I am in life.
31:16
Speaker 1: I have a buddy of mine, and you used to
31:19
Speaker 1: play for the Seahawks. We all mention his name, Okay, he.
31:23
Speaker 2: Does he pick his nose and need it too?
31:24
Speaker 1: Or no? No, oh, I meant to tell you that.
31:27
Speaker 1: I know that's right.
31:28
Speaker 2: I just remembered.
31:28
Speaker 1: You'll tell me no, no, no, not at all. But he's
31:32
Speaker 1: a big dog lover. And we would drive down the
31:35
Speaker 1: road and he would see like anything, didn't matter what
31:38
Speaker 1: it was. If it was like something, you know, some
31:42
Speaker 1: sort of animal of any kind, he'd be like, oh,
31:44
Speaker 1: even if it didn't look at all. And it's like
31:46
Speaker 1: a six foot seven inch, three hundred pound man, Yeah,
31:49
Speaker 1: gigantic hands, very manly of men, and he'd be like oh,
31:54
Speaker 1: because it would remind him of his dog. Like every
31:57
Speaker 1: animal that he would see would remind him there was
32:00
Speaker 1: something about the animal that will remind him of his
32:02
Speaker 1: own dog. Oh, I want to be with Angus oh
32:07
Speaker 1: every single time. And I thought it was the weirdest thing,
32:11
Speaker 1: Like that was like a squirrel. It was a squirrel.
32:14
Speaker 1: You saw a squirrel. How did it remind you of
32:16
Speaker 1: your mastiff?
32:17
Speaker 3: That would make me think of Bunker because he loves squirrels.
32:21
Speaker 1: And yet now now that I've had a few dogs
32:25
Speaker 1: of my own, I now kind of get it. Now
32:27
Speaker 1: I'll drive down the road and I could see like
32:29
Speaker 1: a deer like cross the road.
32:32
Speaker 2: All yeah, she would love to see that.
32:36
Speaker 1: No, And there's like something about the animal itself, like
32:40
Speaker 1: I don't know it's face, it's vulnerability. I don't know
32:42
Speaker 1: what it is, but it reminds you of your animal.
32:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get you.
32:46
Speaker 1: I don't know if a bee would do that for me,
32:49
Speaker 1: but maybe.
32:50
Speaker 2: I will say.
32:51
Speaker 3: The bee did not make me think like, oh my
32:52
Speaker 3: sweet sweet animals at home. It made me think like,
32:55
Speaker 3: dang you bee, and you and also are you going
32:58
Speaker 3: to be okay?
33:01
Speaker 2: I just want you to be okay. Meanwhile, I have
33:03
Speaker 2: two huge welts on my legs.
33:05
Speaker 3: And then the whole thing got real hot and I
33:07
Speaker 3: had like the two bee bites that were stings that
33:10
Speaker 3: were near each other, and then a big red circle
33:13
Speaker 3: around it. So Palmer wanted me to send it to
33:15
Speaker 3: our a picture, and my phone kept asking me if
33:19
Speaker 3: I felt safe sending this message? Does this Does this
33:22
Speaker 3: picture seem appropriate to send? Do you feel like you
33:25
Speaker 3: are in a safe place to send this message?
33:27
Speaker 2: I was like, it's the back of my leg. What
33:30
Speaker 2: do you think I'm sending?
33:31
Speaker 3: I think I thought the beast stings or something else.
33:34
Speaker 3: It's like, I'm not trying to send something inappropriate.
33:37
Speaker 1: Oh that's the most flat chested.
33:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, very close together.
33:48
Speaker 1: All I saw were raised welts.
33:51
Speaker 2: That's all I saw. I don't know. Oh gosh.
33:55
Speaker 3: And it did twice, it like checked with me twice
33:57
Speaker 3: before it would allow me to send the text.
33:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to close with this. Unicorns been out
34:03
Speaker 1: of town, so I've had kind of an opportunity to
34:04
Speaker 1: see some movies here over the last week or so
34:09
Speaker 1: that I've been wanting to see for a while that
34:11
Speaker 1: she wasn't interested in. And I don't know what it
34:15
Speaker 1: is about the movies that are made today, but they
34:18
Speaker 1: just leave me wanting I'm going to give you an example,
34:22
Speaker 1: just really quickly, a complete unknown, which is the Bob
34:26
Speaker 1: Dylan movie. Okay, it's another one of these biopics which
34:30
Speaker 1: are also formulaic that even that's kind of gross, but
34:33
Speaker 1: it got really good ratings. And Shallama is excellent. He's
34:37
Speaker 1: a very good young actor. He's not just just a
34:40
Speaker 1: byproduct of hype. I mean that kid can act right,
34:44
Speaker 1: and every role he does, he's very good. And he
34:46
Speaker 1: was very good as Bob done and he's saying and
34:48
Speaker 1: he performed. He's a really talented young man. I'm going
34:51
Speaker 1: to give him credit for that. But as far as
34:54
Speaker 1: I could tell, Bob Dylan was that moody and grumpy
34:59
Speaker 1: and angry with the world according to this movie. I'm
35:03
Speaker 1: sure there's a lot more that went into it, because
35:07
Speaker 1: folk singers wanted him to embrace folk music and the
35:12
Speaker 1: nicest group of human beings that may have ever lived
35:18
Speaker 1: in America that all they did was sing about love
35:24
Speaker 1: and feeling good and spreading joy and happiness. When they
35:31
Speaker 1: held a festival that was a folk festival, they just
35:35
Speaker 1: asked him, can you please not play rock and roll music.
35:39
Speaker 1: We know that's what you do like to do now,
35:41
Speaker 1: but can you keep it to folk music. Yeah, the
35:44
Speaker 1: whole movie was about how brooding and angry Bob Dylan
35:48
Speaker 1: was over the fact that the nicest group of human
35:51
Speaker 1: beings in America wanted him to play folk music at
35:55
Speaker 1: their folk festival, and in the end he did whatever
35:58
Speaker 1: he damn will please.
36:00
Speaker 2: Oh that Bob Dylan. That's such a weird thing to
36:04
Speaker 2: make a movie about.
36:05
Speaker 3: And you think, like I could picture being in the
36:07
Speaker 3: room being like, so, wait, what's the plot.
36:09
Speaker 2: We want him to be mad at the folk festival people.
36:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, they wasn't be mad at the They wanted us
36:14
Speaker 1: to be mad at the folk festival people. Here was
36:16
Speaker 1: a guy that mistreated every woman in his life, apparently,
36:20
Speaker 1: was angry and surly and nasty to everyone that ever
36:23
Speaker 1: came around, and then played it off as how deep
36:26
Speaker 1: he was. And in the end, I'm like, really, he
36:29
Speaker 1: was just angry at really nice people that thought he
36:31
Speaker 1: should play folk music at their folk festival.
36:34
Speaker 2: It's quite a plot.
36:37
Speaker 1: And they got great ratings, and I'm like, that is terrible.
36:40
Speaker 1: What a terrible great performance, What a terrible movie that one?
36:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, that I could see why you would say it
36:46
Speaker 3: leaves you wanting It's like that was it.
36:49
Speaker 1: That's not the only one. All three movies that I
36:51
Speaker 1: watched this past week the exact same thing. All right,
