Speaker 1: 7 o'clock, our hour number two of this hump day
0:19
Speaker 1: edition of Chuck in the Morning. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
0:23
Speaker 1: If you haven't heard, we've done a little bit of
0:25
Speaker 1: changing things up around these here parts. Up in here,
0:29
Speaker 1: Anders Hurst, now a part of the morning show.
0:32
Speaker 2: There he is. There's Anders. You know Anders. A lot
0:34
Speaker 2: of you have loved Anders over the years.
0:36
Speaker 3: If you haven't heard me, you haven't, like. Listen, because
0:38
Speaker 3: I've been on every single show for a while. You've
0:43
Speaker 3: been around the block a time or two.
0:45
Speaker 1: Ashley Ryan is still very safe, just in a new nest.
0:49
Speaker 2: Probably more safe, to be honest.
0:51
Speaker 1: She's with Ian Furness these days from noon to three.
0:54
Speaker 1: So hopefully you've checked out their new version of the
0:57
Speaker 1: Ian Furness radio program. If not, do so today. And yes,
1:02
Speaker 1: we've got a new era beginning here. on Sports Radio
1:06
Speaker 1: 93.3 KJR FM. In a couple of moments, Greg Bell's
1:10
Speaker 1: going to join us, our Seahawks insider. He's back from Hawaii.
1:14
Speaker 1: It's been a while since we've chatted with Greg. I
1:16
Speaker 1: hope nobody thought that that was part of the changes,
1:19
Speaker 1: that Greg wasn't going to be a part of our
1:21
Speaker 1: show any longer. So we'll go ahead and knock that
1:24
Speaker 1: rumor out of the sky. He'll be with us in
1:26
Speaker 1: about two and a half minutes to talk about Sam
1:29
Speaker 1: Darnold's butt and many more things here this morning. on
1:33
Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. But let me first get
1:36
Speaker 1: to your headlines. They are brought to you by Frost
1:39
Speaker 1: Brewed Coors Light. Cold as the Rockies. The Mariners, they
1:44
Speaker 1: lost again last night to the Angels 2-1. And certainly
1:48
Speaker 1: after the game, there was a look, there was a
1:51
Speaker 1: sound of surrender from the Seattle Mariners as this season
1:57
Speaker 1: has just been an unmitigated disaster. They locked up a
2:01
Speaker 1: losing record. for a year in which they went into
2:04
Speaker 1: the season clear American League West favorites, and in some circles,
2:08
Speaker 1: American League favorites, and yet they are going to finish
2:13
Speaker 1: with a losing record this season.
2:15
Speaker 2: That is now official.
2:16
Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert pitched well last night, but he lost 2-1
2:20
Speaker 1: the final score to the Angels. and they'll play again
2:24
Speaker 1: this evening, George Kirby versus former Mariner Yusei Kikuchi at 640.
2:29
Speaker 1: National Basketball Association, Feticus Vondragimus, also known as Adam Silver,
2:35
Speaker 1: I've seen through your charade, alien. He announced yesterday that
2:41
Speaker 1: we're still dragging our feet on this expansion thing, but
2:45
Speaker 1: don't worry, we'll let.
2:47
Speaker 2: You know before the end of the calendar year.
2:50
Speaker 1: Apparently Vegas doesn't have its stuff in order, and that's
2:54
Speaker 1: why they're working harder, it sounds like, on the Vegas
2:58
Speaker 1: expansion effort. Sounds like Seattle is a little more in lockstep.
3:03
Speaker 1: So it's actually, I guess, a little bit of good news,
3:06
Speaker 1: but nonetheless, once again, Silver doesn't give us dates, doesn't
3:10
Speaker 1: give us times, doesn't announce anything concrete.
3:14
Speaker 2: He just kicked the can down.
3:15
Speaker 1: The road for a few more months, and so It
3:19
Speaker 1: looks like we're going to get an NBA team, but
3:22
Speaker 1: if you are frustrated, we understand. We all are by
3:26
Speaker 1: the lack of urgency. Kraken camp continues. The preseason opener
3:31
Speaker 1: is coming up on Saturday, believe it or not. The
3:33
Speaker 1: Sounders are going to play, it looks like, the rest
3:35
Speaker 1: of the season.
3:36
Speaker 2: Is that right? Without Paul Rothrock, their leading scorer?
3:39
Speaker 3: Basically the rest of the season unless things go really
3:42
Speaker 3: well and you're in probably the late.
3:44
Speaker 2: Late rounds of the playoffs, which doesn't look like the
3:46
Speaker 2: Sounders will be.
3:47
Speaker 1: Rough loss there for a team that has not won
3:50
Speaker 1: in a long time. A lot of drawing lately, but
3:53
Speaker 1: not a lot of winning done by Schmetzer's squad. College
3:57
Speaker 1: football Huskies take on Eastern Washington this Saturday. Cam Cleland
4:01
Speaker 1: will join us at 9 o'clock. We'll talk about the
4:04
Speaker 1: struggling offense as well as many other things with Cam today.
4:09
Speaker 1: Ole Miss versus LSU is the game I'm looking forward
4:11
Speaker 1: to most this entire college football season.
4:14
Speaker 2: That's this Saturday.
4:16
Speaker 1: And then in the National Football League, week number two
4:18
Speaker 1: starts tomorrow in Buffalo. Great matchup between the Lions and
4:22
Speaker 1: the Bills. Meanwhile, the Seahawks get ready for the Arizona Cardinals,
4:26
Speaker 1: who they'll play this Sunday at 125.
4:28
Speaker 2: It's time to talk to our Seahawks insider, Greg Bell.
4:31
Speaker 4: As part of our continuing NFL coverage for the 12th man.
4:35
Speaker 4: This is 12th Man News, part of Chuck's daily visit
4:39
Speaker 4: with our own Greg Bell. Brought to you by Emerald

4:55
Speaker 1: Well, look who's back from Hawaii. I've heard that he
4:59
Speaker 1: ate his weight in poi. and that he learned to
5:02
Speaker 1: play the ukulele in the last five days.
5:05
Speaker 2: Let's see if that's just a rumor. Greg Bell joins us.
5:08
Speaker 2: Good morning, sir, or aloha, I should say.
5:11
Speaker 5: Aloha, mahalo. Yeah, poi avoided us. We actually were talking
5:17
Speaker 5: about poi, but we didn't actually get poi. I guess
5:20
Speaker 5: you can have regular poi is not sweetened, and then
5:23
Speaker 5: you can get sweetened like porridge or tapioca. But taro
5:27
Speaker 5: root poi is by itself not sweet. Oh, okay.
5:31
Speaker 2: I like that. That's a good lesson. Now you learned.
5:34
Speaker 2: You didn't eat it, but you learned a lot about it.
5:36
Speaker 5: No, I did. I learned a little bit about it.
5:38
Speaker 5: But no, it was great.
5:39
Speaker 1: Thanks.
5:39
Speaker 5: It's good to be back.
5:40
Speaker 1: Did you have Spam? Did you have Spam and mayonnaise?
5:42
Speaker 1: Those are two staples down there, too.
5:44
Speaker 5: No mayonnaise. I had Spam and a Zippy's omelet. Those
5:48
Speaker 5: of you who have been to Oahu know Zippy's. It's
5:50
Speaker 5: a Hawaiian institution since like 60 years ago. So they
5:54
Speaker 5: did do that, but... No, I had gone to the
5:56
Speaker 5: Arctic Circle to see our daughter, so it happened to
5:59
Speaker 5: be Hawaii was even better.
6:00
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Well, that worked out just fine. Perfect.
6:04
Speaker 1: Are you glad to be back and in the routine,
6:07
Speaker 1: or did you want to stay in paradise forever?
6:10
Speaker 5: No, I could have stayed.
6:11
Speaker 2: Okay.
6:11
Speaker 5: Given all the circumstances, yeah, I could have stayed. But no,
6:14
Speaker 5: it's good to be back, back to the routine and
6:17
Speaker 5: back to week two now in Arizona for the Seahawks.
6:20
Speaker 5: It's sort of been, not sort of, it's been a bye, really,
6:23
Speaker 5: which is why I went to Hawaii.
6:24
Speaker 1: Yeah.
6:25
Speaker 5: They've only had one semi-bonus practice day on Monday since
6:29
Speaker 5: they played on Wednesday, and that's it. They were off
6:31
Speaker 5: again yesterday, now back to their normal Wednesday to Sunday
6:34
Speaker 5: routine with a full practice. And today, Mike McDonald noon
6:38
Speaker 5: press conference.
6:39
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's talk about Sam Darnold. What do
6:41
Speaker 1: we know? What have you learned? I know you've been away,
6:46
Speaker 1: but I'm sure you're not too far away from your sources.
6:49
Speaker 1: So what should we know about Sam Darnold and this
6:52
Speaker 1: unique glute injury that he suffered?
6:56
Speaker 5: Well, the biggest thing is it's not hip related and
6:59
Speaker 5: it's not a bone hip. They were worried about the
7:01
Speaker 5: bone out of the socket perhaps or labrum or any
7:04
Speaker 5: of that stuff. It's not related to the hip at all.
7:07
Speaker 5: And that was the long-term concern. That could have been
7:09
Speaker 5: season ending. That was their initial fear. That's what the
7:12
Speaker 5: CT scan the night of the game at Harborview. That's
7:15
Speaker 5: the MRI the next day. Those were all searching for
7:18
Speaker 5: that and they didn't find any of that. So by
7:21
Speaker 5: process of elimination, they started going into the muscles, and
7:24
Speaker 5: they ended up with a gluteal, his butt, a very
7:28
Speaker 5: unique soft tissue injury. I'm told it's not long-term, and
7:33
Speaker 5: the fact that he's not on injured reserve speaks to that.
7:36
Speaker 5: The fact that they tried out three free agents yesterday
7:39
Speaker 5: and none of them were quarterbacks speaks to that they
7:42
Speaker 5: aren't going to add a third one. They'll run with
7:44
Speaker 5: Drew Locke and with Jalen Milrow here for the time
7:47
Speaker 5: that Donald is out. he'll miss this game. It looks
7:50
Speaker 5: like he'll miss the Washington game. I know some reports
7:53
Speaker 5: are that he's going to perhaps make it back for
7:55
Speaker 5: week three at Washington. I'd say week four against San
7:58
Speaker 5: Francisco is an optimistic target from what I'm hearing. Uh,
8:02
Speaker 5: and it's not out of the realm that he would
8:04
Speaker 5: miss each of the first four games, but yeah.
8:08
Speaker 2: Week four would be the, he'd be out four weeks. Yeah.
8:10
Speaker 5: He'd be on IR.
8:10
Speaker 1: Yeah.
8:11
Speaker 2: Week four would be the chargers.
8:12
Speaker 5: Um, yeah, but, uh, and then we, and then the
8:15
Speaker 5: 49ers after that.
8:16
Speaker 4: Yeah.
8:16
Speaker 1: Yeah.
8:16
Speaker 5: That's it.
8:17
Speaker 1: Um, So when they describe a unique glute injury, um,
8:25
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about this yesterday. It kind of
8:28
Speaker 1: suggests to me anyway, that either this is something that
8:32
Speaker 1: we're not going to tell you about because it might
8:33
Speaker 1: be borderline like embarrassing the type of injury that he
8:36
Speaker 1: might have suffered around the butt area or it's so strange.
8:41
Speaker 1: They really don't know how to describe it or treat it.
8:44
Speaker 1: I mean, do you have any indication whether it's one
8:48
Speaker 1: or the other?
8:50
Speaker 5: Well, they know how to treat it. I mean, they've
8:52
Speaker 5: gotten multiple second, third, and fourth opinions on this. It's
8:57
Speaker 5: that it's usual gluteal injuries, glute injuries are not substantial
9:02
Speaker 5: enough to miss a month. Usually that's a muscle strain
9:05
Speaker 5: that you can get back from in a shorter time
9:08
Speaker 5: than that. So I think the unique nature is the
9:10
Speaker 5: fact that it was severe enough that he's going to
9:12
Speaker 5: miss multiple games, it appears, if you count the first one.
9:15
Speaker 5: I mean, he missed all but the first four plays.
9:19
Speaker 5: And then this one at two, that's at least two games.
9:21
Speaker 5: That's what makes it unique, I would say, in that
9:25
Speaker 5: it's an injury substantial enough that he's going to miss
9:29
Speaker 5: multiple times. They've been potentially vague, but they also, the
9:33
Speaker 5: Seahawks don't issue statements from a team spokesman on his
9:38
Speaker 5: own just spitting out facts the team wants to put
9:42
Speaker 5: out there unless there's, it's unusual. There's conflicting information. I
9:45
Speaker 5: can remember maybe I've been doing this for 20 years
9:48
Speaker 5: and maybe two or three times that they've done this.
9:51
Speaker 5: So they're trying to dispel the reports that he might
9:54
Speaker 5: miss six weeks or more. I know Mike Florio had
9:57
Speaker 5: that on the Sunday night broadcast on NBC the other night.
10:01
Speaker 5: They're trying to get away from that part of it.
10:04
Speaker 5: If they thought it was four to six weeks, he'd
10:07
Speaker 5: be on injured reserve because the Seahawks, no NFL teams
10:10
Speaker 5: in the business of just giving away roster spots and
10:13
Speaker 5: having guys that aren't going to play for a month
10:14
Speaker 5: or more. stay on the active roster because, again, if
10:17
Speaker 5: you're on injury reserve designated to return, you have to
10:19
Speaker 5: miss a minimum of four weeks. The fact that he's
10:22
Speaker 5: not on IR suggests they think it's shorter than that.
10:25
Speaker 5: But we've seen in the past they've thought that on
10:27
Speaker 5: guys who maybe didn't come back in a lot of time,
10:30
Speaker 5: and injuries take their own course.
10:32
Speaker 1: Well, after a week or so in paradise, nothing will
10:35
Speaker 1: sober you more quickly than coming back and having to
10:38
Speaker 1: talk about another man's butt injury on the radio. But
10:41
Speaker 1: that is the life of Greg Bell right now, our
10:43
Speaker 1: Seahawks insider, who joins us here on Chuck in the Mornings.
10:47
Speaker 5: It's still better than talking about the Mariners right now.
10:50
Speaker 2: That's true.
10:50
Speaker 5: Talk about Sam Darnold's posterior.
10:52
Speaker 2: That's a whole different kind of pain in the ass
10:54
Speaker 2: right there, I'll tell you. Uh, let's talk about drew lock.
10:58
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, he's going to have the benefit of
11:00
Speaker 1: being able to prepare like a number one quarterback, which
11:02
Speaker 1: is fantastic. Um, but also the opponent's going to have
11:06
Speaker 1: the benefit of preparing for drew lock, his weaknesses that
11:10
Speaker 1: they have on film and going to be able to
11:12
Speaker 1: put a game plan around, uh, trying to diminish, you know,
11:17
Speaker 1: what he can do. So, uh, how does that play
11:19
Speaker 1: out in your opinion on Sunday? How confident are the
11:22
Speaker 1: Seahawks that they're going to get a good to great
11:25
Speaker 1: effort from lock?
11:26
Speaker 5: I think it's advantage Seahawks and Locke because Drew Locke
11:31
Speaker 5: didn't practice one play on the field in the game
11:34
Speaker 5: plan last week. We've said it before, but those who
11:37
Speaker 5: don't understand, NFL starting quarterbacks get 100% of the snaps
11:42
Speaker 5: during a game week. It's because of the limited and
11:44
Speaker 5: the CBA requires that they are only on the field
11:46
Speaker 5: for X amount of times during a game week. Very
11:49
Speaker 5: little of it is full contact or anything resembling game speed. Wednesday, Thursday,
11:55
Speaker 5: and Friday. Then they have a walk-through on Saturday. So
11:56
Speaker 5: the so-limited reps, the starter gets them all. And Locke
12:00
Speaker 5: got zero of them. He was ad-hoc-ing, doing his whiteboard
12:03
Speaker 5: next to his bed that we talked about last week.
12:06
Speaker 5: That was his preparation for this game, drawing on his
12:09
Speaker 5: son's doodle board the plays that they would potentially. Now
12:14
Speaker 5: got a full week for the first time for the Seahawks.
12:18
Speaker 5: He did a little bit for the Giants in 2024
12:20
Speaker 5: this season. He was there and Daniel Jones got hurt.
12:23
Speaker 5: But for the Seahawks, this is the first time he's
12:24
Speaker 5: had a game week as the known starter, preparing as
12:27
Speaker 5: the number one, getting all the reps, since December 2023.
12:31
Speaker 5: That was his last significant reps before Wednesday night when
12:35
Speaker 5: Geno Smith couldn't play the Monday night game against the Eagles.
12:38
Speaker 5: Locke comes in, leads a two-minute drive at the end
12:40
Speaker 5: of the game, starts the game and comes in at
12:42
Speaker 5: the end of the game, two-minute drive, upsets the defending
12:44
Speaker 5: Super Bowl champions. That game and then Wednesday are the
12:49
Speaker 5: last two times he's played meaningful snaps for Seattle. So
12:51
Speaker 5: they're thinking, huh, This guy can do it, obviously. Now
12:55
Speaker 5: we're seeing why John Schneider insisted that Drew Locke be
12:58
Speaker 5: a part of the Russell Wilson trade. Now we're seeing
13:01
Speaker 5: what we're really seeing is the residual effects of the
13:05
Speaker 5: Trevoin-Boykin experience 10 years ago or whatever it was now.
13:09
Speaker 5: You all remember that Russell Wilson was never going to
13:11
Speaker 5: miss a snap and never get hurt, so the Seahawks said, well,
13:13
Speaker 5: we'll just put a quarterback from TCU and Undrafted 2.
13:19
Speaker 5: And lo and behold, for the first time in his career,
13:20
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson missed snaps. Trevoin Bacon had to come in
13:22
Speaker 5: against San Francisco. It was a disaster. And it scared
13:26
Speaker 5: the hell out of John Schneider. And ever since then,
13:28
Speaker 5: he traded for Brett Hundley, a former starter with the Packers.
13:32
Speaker 5: Geno Smith is the backup. He's now had Drew Locke
13:35
Speaker 5: as the backup. He made sure that he has starters
13:39
Speaker 5: who have started in the league, veterans who have done
13:41
Speaker 5: it before, as his backup for times like this. And
13:45
Speaker 5: it's why they paid Drew Locke the two-year contract. We
13:48
Speaker 5: all said, why did you give him a two-year deal?
13:49
Speaker 5: It's to keep him from going somewhere else to finding
13:51
Speaker 5: a starting gig somewhere else. So that's a long way
13:54
Speaker 5: of answering. The Cardinals may know what Locke can do,
13:57
Speaker 5: but they were watching Locke on Sam Donald's game plan.
14:00
Speaker 5: They don't know what the Seahawks and Brian Fleury's game
14:03
Speaker 5: plan is for Drew Locke because the league hasn't seen
14:05
Speaker 5: it yet.
14:06
Speaker 1: Any thought at all of adding to the quarterback room?
14:10
Speaker 1: I mean, how far have those discussions gone? I'm sure
14:13
Speaker 1: they've at least discussed it, but any idea of how
14:16
Speaker 1: far it's gone?
14:18
Speaker 5: Well, anyone who's available September 15th, 16th isn't very worthy
14:24
Speaker 5: of starting a plan, or else he wouldn't be available. So, no.
14:28
Speaker 5: I mean... The biggest indication to me is that they
14:31
Speaker 5: think Darnold's going to be back sooner than later is
14:33
Speaker 5: the fact they haven't even tried a quarterback out, let
14:37
Speaker 5: alone sign one. I mean, you've got to try one out, right?
14:39
Speaker 5: He's got to throw, and you can see, like Drew
14:42
Speaker 5: Brees said, when the Broncos came calling for him last week,
14:46
Speaker 5: or at the end of last season, the AFC title game,
14:48
Speaker 5: he went out and threw with his son, and his
14:50
Speaker 5: wrist and his arm didn't respond at all. You've got
14:52
Speaker 5: to make sure if you're going to try out a quarterback,
14:54
Speaker 5: he could throw. So you wouldn't sign him literally off
14:58
Speaker 5: the street. You'd have him in for a tryout, and
15:00
Speaker 5: they haven't even done that yet. So there are no
15:02
Speaker 5: indications of that. And as long as they don't, to me,
15:05
Speaker 5: as long as they don't try out a quarterback, which
15:07
Speaker 5: means that's not considering an imminent signing. that means that
15:11
Speaker 5: Sam Darnold's coming back in shorter than four weeks, or
15:14
Speaker 5: it would make no sense for him not to be
15:16
Speaker 5: on integer reserve already.
15:17
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's spend the rest of our time
15:19
Speaker 1: on the opponent this week. You're going to your annual
15:22
Speaker 1: House of Horrors, the haunted house that is Arizona, for
15:26
Speaker 1: your trip this week. And a Cardinals team that obviously
15:30
Speaker 1: not huge expectations when the season began, but they destroyed
15:34
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers. They just didn't beat them. They
15:36
Speaker 1: destroyed the Chargers in week number one, so certainly that
15:41
Speaker 1: had to have gotten Mike McDonald's attention as he prepares
15:44
Speaker 1: for their week two opponent.
15:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, Mike McDonald could not have scripted it better. A
15:51
Speaker 5: team defending Super Bowl champions coming off a win in
15:54
Speaker 5: their opener, a rally win, and then this long layoff
15:58
Speaker 5: where they've been able to go and be wherever they
16:00
Speaker 5: wanted to be this past weekend. And now they're coming
16:02
Speaker 5: in against a team that everyone says is going to
16:04
Speaker 5: be the worst team in the NFC West, maybe the
16:06
Speaker 5: worst team in the NFC, and they beat the Chargers
16:09
Speaker 5: on the road, and that gets the attention of the players.
16:11
Speaker 5: So any players that might have thought, well, this is
16:13
Speaker 5: a cakewalk, even with a backup quarterback, well, not anymore.
16:17
Speaker 5: They'll turn on the Chargers game film, and McDonald's got
16:20
Speaker 5: their attention. So the Cardinals and the Chargers did a
16:24
Speaker 5: favor for McDonald. The quarterback situation is where you start,
16:28
Speaker 5: and that's where Jacoby Brissett is. And, man, they have
16:32
Speaker 5: faced Jacoby Brissett in like 12 iterations, the Colts version,
16:35
Speaker 5: the Patriots version a couple seasons ago in Foxborough in September,
16:39
Speaker 5: and now as the Cardinals. This team, the measure of
16:44
Speaker 5: the Seahawks, especially on defense, and how they've improved over
16:47
Speaker 5: the last three or four years is they no longer
16:51
Speaker 5: lose the teams that started Jacoby Brissett's of the world.
16:54
Speaker 5: They used to lose to Chase Daniel, and you remember
16:56
Speaker 5: how many times who knows what quarterback would come in,
16:59
Speaker 5: back up Josh McCown for the Cardinals, would come into
17:02
Speaker 5: Seattle and beat him. That's when you knew the Pete
17:05
Speaker 5: Carroll era was faltering and was near its end when
17:07
Speaker 5: teams like that would come in and beat you. Not anymore.
17:11
Speaker 5: They shouldn't lose to Jacoby Brissett, period. I don't care
17:14
Speaker 5: who's the Seahawks quarterback. I don't care. Their defense is
17:17
Speaker 5: good enough to beat Jacoby Brissett. Now you go into
17:20
Speaker 5: the turnovers and all the mitigating circumstances that make what
17:23
Speaker 5: should be routes close. And there you go. So don't
17:26
Speaker 5: turn the ball over, and that'll be Drew Locke's number
17:28
Speaker 5: one priority, of course. Then they shouldn't lose to Jacoby Brissett.
17:31
Speaker 5: But yes, the Cardinals are coming off a win that
17:34
Speaker 5: no one, maybe themselves, expected them to have as easy
17:36
Speaker 5: as they did.
17:38
Speaker 1: And this Mike LaFleur, by the way, was the OC
17:41
Speaker 1: for the Rams who looked at the season's end as
17:44
Speaker 1: the only team in the league that had figured out
17:47
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald's defense. So that's something.
17:51
Speaker 2: To factor into our preview of this game.
17:55
Speaker 4: It is.
17:56
Speaker 5: Although, speaking of the Rams, is this not a reminder
17:58
Speaker 5: that you don't win Super Bowls in March and June
18:01
Speaker 5: and August? I was watching that game on the flight
18:04
Speaker 5: to Honolulu Thursday night. I was just shaking my head.
18:08
Speaker 5: This is crazy. Now Miles Garrett, not healthy, damaged goods.
18:12
Speaker 5: I mean, what? Yeah. But yes, of course. But this
18:18
Speaker 5: is like the fifth time the Cardinals have started over, especially–
18:21
Speaker 5: On offense, it all starts, of course, with the quarterback situation.
18:25
Speaker 5: They need to run the ball. They need to play
18:28
Speaker 5: field position. They need to get a couple turnovers. But
18:32
Speaker 5: that's why they play the games, I guess. I'm just
18:34
Speaker 5: saying that the measure of the Seahawks to me is
18:37
Speaker 5: that when they have games they should win, the last
18:39
Speaker 5: two seasons they win them. This looks like another one
18:42
Speaker 5: of those.
18:42
Speaker 2: All right.
18:43
Speaker 1: Well, what do you have prepared for your 10 o'clock
18:46
Speaker 1: show this morning from the Virginia Mason Athletic Center? I mean,
18:50
Speaker 1: are you going to focus on the Seahawks? Are you
18:52
Speaker 1: so influenced by Hawaii that it's just going to be
18:54
Speaker 1: a lot of Tua Tonga-Vailoa talk, maybe Vi Sikahema? You
18:58
Speaker 1: could slip in there.
18:59
Speaker 2: I don't know. What's the plan for 10 o'clock today?
19:02
Speaker 5: They are into Hawaii football there. They played New Mexico
19:06
Speaker 5: State in a game on Saturday night in Honolulu, and
19:08
Speaker 5: they replayed that on local TV like seven times. It
19:12
Speaker 5: was like the old Ray Scott Penn State replays back
19:16
Speaker 5: in the day and the entire weekend. It was really
19:18
Speaker 5: cool how into Hawaii rainbows football they are. But, yes,
19:22
Speaker 5: we're going to talk to Jory Epstein. Epstein is the
19:26
Speaker 5: athletic senior NFL reporter for the Athletic. Her debut, her
19:29
Speaker 5: weekly debut of us. She'll go around the league. She
19:31
Speaker 5: was in Kansas City. on Monday night when Kenneth Walker
19:35
Speaker 5: made everyone in Seattle think, wait a minute, do we
19:37
Speaker 5: really want to lose him? Yeah, financially they planned for this.
19:41
Speaker 5: But she'll talk about things around the league. She was
19:42
Speaker 5: also in Seattle for the Patriots-Seahawks game, so we'll get
19:45
Speaker 5: her thoughts on that as well. And we'll talk more
19:48
Speaker 5: about what the Seahawks players are saying about Drew Locke
19:52
Speaker 5: and Sam Darnold's injury and they say nothing's changing and
19:55
Speaker 5: that's what they should say all.
19:56
Speaker 1: Right sounds great well welcome back thank you sir we
19:58
Speaker 1: appreciate it we'll be listening at 10.
20:00
Speaker 5: Thank you. Thanks, guys.
20:02

21:42
Speaker 1: Fiction at 735. Also coming up on the show today
21:45
Speaker 1: at 8 o'clock, we're bringing it back. I think it's
21:48
Speaker 1: going to be a regular thing. I don't know exactly
21:53
Speaker 1: when to pin it down, what day, what time. But
21:55
Speaker 1: today we're bringing back Magic Mirror or Mirror Mirror. I
21:59
Speaker 1: like to call it at 8 o'clock. And what that is,
22:02
Speaker 1: is I'm going to make a statement, and then I'm
22:04
Speaker 1: going to allow you, the listeners, to pick apart that statement.
22:09
Speaker 1: You weigh in on it, and you can do that
22:12
Speaker 1: via text, 49451. We're on YouTube right now, so you
22:16
Speaker 1: can make your comments in YouTube. And then, of course,
22:18
Speaker 1: we've got the talkback feature. If you want to record
22:20
Speaker 1: a 30-second statement, you can do that on our talkback feature, 933kjar. com.
22:26
Speaker 2: Find it there. Record 30 seconds. It's 30, right? 30
22:30
Speaker 2: seconds blurb.
22:31
Speaker 1: And then we'll play that back. And here's the idea
22:34
Speaker 1: behind Mirror Mirror. I'm going to make that statement and
22:37
Speaker 1: I'm going to allow you to pick it apart. And
22:39
Speaker 1: I just claim and I promise that I am the
22:43
Speaker 1: fairest of them all. Therefore, and I don't mean handsome
22:48
Speaker 1: or light-skinned.
22:50
Speaker 2: I mean, I will be fair. I will be fair.
22:53
Speaker 1: And it is going to be a juicy topic today.
22:55
Speaker 1: That topic is, should Jerry DePoto be fired? So weigh
23:01
Speaker 1: in on that. And I don't want some big mountain text.
23:05
Speaker 1: Your biggest reason as to why Jerry DePoto should not
23:09
Speaker 1: any longer, run the Seattle Mariners, text it, YouTube it,
23:14
Speaker 1: talk back it, and we're going to get to your
23:16
Speaker 1: reasons one at a time coming up at 8 o'clock.
23:19
Speaker 3: The biggest or the best chance for you to have
23:22
Speaker 3: your text or content used, I should say, is if
23:27
Speaker 3: you give us a simple objective to that statement, whether
23:34
Speaker 3: that is saying– you know, one very specific reason as
23:39
Speaker 3: to either why Jerry DePoto should be fired or why
23:41
Speaker 3: he shouldn't be fired. So, and then the fairest of
23:44
Speaker 3: them all, Chuck Powell.
23:45
Speaker 2: I will judge. He will judge. I will judge and
23:47
Speaker 2: we will discuss.
23:48
Speaker 1: All right, in our last couple minutes before Factor Fiction,
23:51
Speaker 1: we're going to have Waver Wire Wednesday for you as
23:54
Speaker 1: well this year. Just some fantasy ideas, some pickup ideas
23:58
Speaker 1: that might benefit you. My initial reaction in watching week
24:02
Speaker 1: number one, two tight ends leapt out to me. Isaiah Likely,
24:05
Speaker 1: who was already on a team, to my surprise, in
24:08
Speaker 1: our league.
24:09
Speaker 3: And was started.
24:10
Speaker 2: And was started, and yet.
24:12
Speaker 1: that team didn't even win, even with that big boost
24:15
Speaker 1: from Likely. But that's the first name that came to mind.
24:19
Speaker 2: I have a feeling he.
24:19
Speaker 1: Was available in a lot of leagues out there on
24:22
Speaker 1: a waiver wire standpoint.
24:23
Speaker 2: I've always liked him.
24:25
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh finally doesn't have Mark Andrews dropping passes, standing
24:29
Speaker 1: in his way of playing. So now he gets to
24:32
Speaker 1: start him with the New York Giants, and the Giants'
24:35
Speaker 1: offense looked good. So I think that's number one. And
24:37
Speaker 1: then Mike Gesicki the tight end of the Cincinnati Bengals.
24:41
Speaker 1: At one point, Joe Burrow went to Mike Gesicki and
24:43
Speaker 1: Mike Gesicki alone for an entire quarter. And so Mike
24:48
Speaker 1: Gesicki's had a hard time gesticking with teams and their
24:52
Speaker 1: offenses in his career, but it was very abundant by
24:58
Speaker 1: week number one's analysis. Joe Burrow likes him some Mike Gesicki.
25:02
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he does.
25:03
Speaker 3: And I feel like Especially, you know, in that Cincinnati offense,
25:08
Speaker 3: the tight ends can kind of get overlooked a little
25:09
Speaker 3: bit with how much receiving talent they have. But especially
25:12
Speaker 3: when it gets to red zone time, he likes looking
25:15
Speaker 3: at them, whether that is Kate Otten or that is.
25:18
Speaker 2: Sorry, not Kate Otten. Drew Sample.
25:19
Speaker 3: Drew Sample, yeah, the other Husky one. Or Mike Kosicki
25:23
Speaker 3: in this case. Also, I think this was a pretty
25:26
Speaker 3: clever move in our league anyway. Jordan Tyson. If you've
25:30
Speaker 3: slept on Jordan Tyson, if you could stash him away
25:33
Speaker 3: on IR.
25:34
Speaker 2: Many people believe.
25:35
Speaker 1: He is the most gifted wide receiver in this draft class.
25:40
Speaker 1: New Orleans looks like it's going to be better than
25:42
Speaker 1: it's been, and they're going to throw the football a
25:44
Speaker 1: lot with Tyler Shuck. He started the year on IR,
25:47
Speaker 1: so he's not really getting a lot of attention. But
25:50
Speaker 1: there are a lot of football folks that think that
25:53
Speaker 1: he is the most gifted receiver in this draft class.
25:56
Speaker 1: And so if you can just stash him away without
25:59
Speaker 1: penalizing your roster for four weeks, you might have something
26:02
Speaker 1: special in the second half of the season. All right,
26:04
Speaker 1: let's play some fact or fiction.
26:06
Speaker 2: We're set to go. Glad you're with us.
26:07
Speaker 4: It's your shot at our weekly $ 1, 000 and the $ 10, 000
26:12
Speaker 4: grand prize.
26:14
Speaker 2: It's Fact or Fiction.
26:16
Speaker 4: Proudly presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel, where every
26:20
Speaker 4: day feels lucky. Fact or Fiction is on. Sports Radio 93.3,
26:25
Speaker 4: KJR FM. All right, listen up.
26:29
Speaker 2: Time for your Fact or Fiction pick, and you better.
26:31
Speaker 1: Believe it here on Chuck in the Mornings. We share
26:34
Speaker 1: the wealth. We go round the room. I don't make
26:36
Speaker 1: all the selections like some selfish host.
26:40
Speaker 2: No comment. No names.
26:44
Speaker 1: So it's Travis Moger's pick here today.
26:47
Speaker 4: Timo!
26:48
Speaker 2: Timo's going to show us how it's done, who you're taking.
26:51
Speaker 5: And why.
26:52
Speaker 2: Well, let me just start by saying I went one
26:53
Speaker 2: for one last week. My pick was a fact. Yes,
26:57
Speaker 2: it was.
26:58
Speaker 4: Oh, good.
26:58
Speaker 2: And I'm very excited for this week. Thanks for rubbing
27:02
Speaker 2: it in my face. No, I'm not rubbing it in.
27:04
Speaker 2: I'm just pumping myself up. All right, do it.
27:06
Speaker 6: And then this week, I'm going to be the first
27:08
Speaker 6: to take an NCAA game this week.
27:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been all NFL.
27:12
Speaker 6: So I'm going to pick USC minus 23 and a
27:16
Speaker 6: half over Rutgers.
27:18
Speaker 2: Oh, I think I like that. I like that pick.
27:20
Speaker 5: Yeah.
27:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lincoln Riley and Jordan Maieva.
27:24
Speaker 6: They're putting together quite an offense, throwing lots of TDs,
27:28
Speaker 6: putting up points.
27:30
Speaker 2: Rutgers are just awful. Yes.
27:32
Speaker 6: They lost to UMass and Boston College, and.
27:37
Speaker 2: I think they can run up the score. Even if
27:39
Speaker 2: it's at Rutgers, I think that USC is just going
27:42
Speaker 2: to blow them out.
27:43
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I've been pretty impressed with USC. I
27:45
Speaker 1: don't know if they've faced the best competition thus far,
27:48
Speaker 1: but I've not been impressed with Rutgers, and they've faced.
27:52
Speaker 2: The worst competition so far.
27:53
Speaker 5: Yeah.
27:54
Speaker 1: They're certainly not going to win the state title in
27:56
Speaker 1: Massachusetts this year, Rutgers. And so if you can't win
28:00
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts, how are you going to beat... the mighty Trojans,
28:04
Speaker 1: the way that they're operating right now.
28:05
Speaker 2: I like that pick. I like that pick a lot.
28:07
Speaker 3: I like it, too. The only thing that makes me
28:10
Speaker 3: think about it a little bit is the fact that
28:12
Speaker 3: they are traveling to the East Coast. And we've seen
28:14
Speaker 3: this with college football teams that they're not used to.
28:16
Speaker 3: USC going all the way across the country to their
28:20
Speaker 3: classic Big Ten rival, Rutgers.
28:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Very classic.
28:26
Speaker 3: It's been played for years. singular years, not tens of years,
28:31
Speaker 3: not hundreds of years, singular years. Uh, but yeah, I think,
28:34
Speaker 3: I think I still, the talent will reside. And I
28:37
Speaker 3: think Jaden Maia was going for, uh, going for Heisman.
28:39
Speaker 3: So they definitely want to help him get some, Get
28:41
Speaker 3: some points on the board.
28:42
Speaker 1: Rutgers does have the leader right now in the Fred
28:45
Speaker 1: Belitnikoff Award, though. KJ Duff has been amazing in his
28:48
Speaker 1: first two weeks.
28:49
Speaker 2: All right, there's your pick.
28:51
Speaker 1: Travis has taken the USC Trojans, giving the 23.5 points.
28:56
Speaker 1: That means USC has to win at Rutgers by 24
28:59
Speaker 1: points or more.
29:01
Speaker 2: For travis to be.
29:02
Speaker 1: Spot on so it's time for you to uh text
29:07
Speaker 1: in at 49451 text fact if you agree with that
29:10
Speaker 1: selection text fiction if you disagree with that selection if
29:14
Speaker 1: you're right we enter your name into a drawing for
29:16
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars in cash we hold it at the
29:18
Speaker 1: end of every single week we even give it to
29:21
Speaker 1: winners from amanda park and there are only like five
29:24
Speaker 1: people that live there true And so, yeah, it's a
29:27
Speaker 1: full cycle Pacific Northwest kind of thing that we're doing here.
29:32
Speaker 1: So make sure you play. If you win, we enter
29:35
Speaker 1: your name into that drawing. Every time you win, we
29:37
Speaker 1: enter your name into that drawing for $ 1, 000 in cash.
29:40
Speaker 1: And the grand prize winner is going to win $ 10, 000
29:44
Speaker 1: this year, all from our title sponsor, Lucky Eagle Casino
29:48
Speaker 1: and Hotel, where every day... feels lucky. Again, it's USC
29:53
Speaker 1: minus 23 and a half. That is our pick. If
29:57
Speaker 1: you agree, text FACT to 49451. If you disagree, text
30:01
Speaker 1: FICTION to 49451. Coming up next, we do it every Wednesday,
30:06
Speaker 1: time to get reckless at breakfast on Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
30:13
Speaker 1: Every Wednesday at this time, we get a little reckless
30:15
Speaker 1: at breakfast.
30:16
Speaker 2: And I don't know.
30:17
Speaker 1: I think there's going to be pretty reckless. I mean,
30:19
Speaker 1: the subject matter, you know, we have to tread lightly.
30:23
Speaker 1: But certainly this has become a bigger story than I
30:27
Speaker 1: thought it should have been. The Arch Manning anger over
30:32
Speaker 1: laughing at a question asked about a stupid video made
30:38
Speaker 1: by a stupid person and put on a stupid platform. Um, and,
30:43
Speaker 1: and so Arch Manning had all sorts of grief that
30:47
Speaker 1: he had to deal through. He made a public apology,
30:49
Speaker 1: which he should have made a public apology, but it
30:52
Speaker 1: just turned into a monstrous row. And I don't understand why.
30:59
Speaker 1: I mean, when you think about what we've done in
31:01
Speaker 1: this society with this particular generation and this particular lung
31:05
Speaker 1: young generation, certainly as its share fair share of flaws.
31:08
Speaker 1: So did my generation. And there are some things to
31:11
Speaker 1: criticize them about. But one of the things that we've
31:15
Speaker 1: done with this younger generation, a couple of things. Number one,
31:19
Speaker 1: we have been very clear, more clear than any other
31:22
Speaker 1: generation about.
31:25
Speaker 2: That sort of abuse.
31:27
Speaker 1: The video shows, for people that don't know, it was
31:30
Speaker 1: an AI video playing off The Steve Sarkeesian cold reaction
31:36
Speaker 1: to Holly Rose post-game interview on Saturday where he just said,
31:40
Speaker 1: hook him, and stormed off. And so somebody turned it
31:44
Speaker 1: into him backhanding her and she fell to the ground
31:48
Speaker 1: and he.
31:49
Speaker 2: yelled in her face and everything else. So that's the video.
31:52
Speaker 1: And Arch Manning was asked about it in a press
31:55
Speaker 1: conference and he ended up laughing about the video. So
31:58
Speaker 1: did everybody else in the room, by the way, except
32:00
Speaker 1: the person who asked the question. So that's the video
32:03
Speaker 1: that we're talking about. And this young generation has been
32:07
Speaker 1: taught better than any generation previous as to just how
32:11
Speaker 1: wrong this kind of abuse is.
32:13
Speaker 2: He knows that.
32:15
Speaker 1: We also have taught this generation that We've shown them
32:19
Speaker 1: videos and movies and everything else showing men fighting women.
32:26
Speaker 1: It's in every Marvel movie, men fighting women all the time.
32:31
Speaker 1: And so this generation, more so than any other generation,
32:34
Speaker 1: has been taught, number one, in real life, you don't
32:38
Speaker 1: do this. And yet it's okay to be entertained by this.
32:44
Speaker 1: You following me on this?
32:45
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yes. More so than any other generation.
32:48
Speaker 1: We didn't watch movie after movie where men were fist-fighting women,
32:52
Speaker 1: and now it happens in nearly every show that you see.
32:55
Speaker 1: And if anybody understands the differentiation, it's probably people Arch
33:00
Speaker 1: Manning's age who are... schooled to be entertained by women
33:07
Speaker 1: and men fighting one another. And so I think Arch
33:10
Speaker 1: Manning and the younger generation understands the clear differentiation between
33:16
Speaker 1: an obvious hoax of an AI video and an actual
33:20
Speaker 1: video of a man striking a woman. So I don't
33:24
Speaker 1: think Arch Manning should have been held to the fire
33:27
Speaker 1: on this. Here's who I would blame. Number one, the
33:30
Speaker 1: people who made the video. Number two, the platform that
33:34
Speaker 1: promotes such videos. Number three, the person who showed up
33:38
Speaker 1: at a sports press conference with an agenda to make
33:41
Speaker 1: an example of a young successful man and to try
33:44
Speaker 1: to catch him with a gotcha question. Number four, everybody
33:49
Speaker 1: else that laughed along with Arch Manning in the room.
33:52
Speaker 1: Number five, Steve Sarkeesian, who shouldn't have been so angry
33:56
Speaker 1: that he would have a video parodied of him. And
33:59
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm putting a lot of blame on
34:01
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkeesian. I'm just saying these are all people that
34:03
Speaker 1: I would blame above all.
34:05
Speaker 2: Arch Manning for this situation.
34:08
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkeesian should have acted more professionally, but as Laura Rutledge,
34:13
Speaker 1: one of the best out there, explained at halftime, he
34:16
Speaker 1: was made to wait longer than he wanted to wait
34:19
Speaker 1: for a halftime interview and told her, hey, I got
34:24
Speaker 1: to go. I got work to do. Had to run
34:26
Speaker 1: off and leave the halftime interview. So then when they
34:29
Speaker 1: got to the post-game show and he's trying to celebrate
34:31
Speaker 1: with his teammates, he's again having to wait and he
34:34
Speaker 1: got angry. And so he did what he did. Somebody
34:38
Speaker 1: parodied the video and did it in a disgusting manner.
34:43
Speaker 1: And then the video made its rounds. And lo and behold,
34:47
Speaker 1: a 21-year-old man who grew up on watching Marvel comic
34:51
Speaker 1: characters fight each other, whether they were men or women,
34:54
Speaker 1: laughed at it publicly and shouldn't have. We can all
34:58
Speaker 1: acknowledge that. But if any person of any generation is
35:02
Speaker 1: going to do that and be able to get away
35:04
Speaker 1: with it because they understand the differentiation between a video
35:08
Speaker 1: designed to be entertaining and an actual video of abuse,
35:12
Speaker 1: it's going to be that generation.
35:14
Speaker 2: Does that make sense? Absolutely.
35:15
Speaker 3: Does anyone think, honestly, a serious question, does anyone think
35:19
Speaker 3: when Arch Manning first answered that question that what he
35:22
Speaker 3: was doing was like... Yeah, I think that's what Sark
35:26
Speaker 3: should have done in that moment. Or I condone that
35:28
Speaker 3: sort of what the video was portraying. No, I didn't
35:32
Speaker 3: think that. And if you do, that's like taking it
35:35
Speaker 3: way further than he was just like, oh, yeah, I
35:37
Speaker 3: saw that video.
35:38
Speaker 2: It's funny.
35:38
Speaker 3: Like, that's literally all he said.
35:41
Speaker 2: I don't think there should be videos like that. No,
35:43
Speaker 2: there should not.
35:44
Speaker 1: Yeah.
35:45
Speaker 2: But why?
35:46
Speaker 1: I don't think that we should have so many examples
35:50
Speaker 1: in young people's lives of men and women fist fighting
35:53
Speaker 1: each other either. But no one's putting a stop to that.
35:56
Speaker 5: No.
35:56
Speaker 1: I mean, we're kind of celebrating that, aren't we, as
36:00
Speaker 1: a community? Like, women are celebrating the fact that there
36:03
Speaker 1: are women that can fistfight men in movies now?
36:06
Speaker 5: Yeah.
36:07
Speaker 1: Like, is that not being, like, celebrated to a degree?
36:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it is.
36:12
Speaker 2: Right.
36:12
Speaker 1: And so I think Arch Manning knows the difference between
36:16
Speaker 1: the two videos. And if we're going to raise a
36:19
Speaker 1: group of people on being entertained by that stuff, when
36:22
Speaker 1: there's clearly a fake.
36:26
Speaker 1: Video made, why would you think that he shouldn't be
36:30
Speaker 1: entertained by that?
36:32
Speaker 2: I don't know.
36:32
Speaker 3: And the biggest thing to me, this doesn't a this
36:35
Speaker 3: doesn't become a story. If you mentioned Steve Sarkeesian, he's
36:37
Speaker 3: the one who started this whole thing with that interaction,
36:40
Speaker 3: not saying it like a set hundred percent, not his fault,
36:42
Speaker 3: but like that, that's how it's kind of kicked everything off.
36:45
Speaker 3: But the thing that blew it up is the person
36:47
Speaker 3: that's asking that question in a press conference after one
36:50
Speaker 3: of that guy's biggest wins in his career.
36:52
Speaker 2: It was a total got you attempt.
36:54
Speaker 3: It's just, why?
36:56
Speaker 2: Why?
36:57
Speaker 3: That's honestly the biggest culprit for me. Because these kind
37:01
Speaker 3: of videos, I know social media, I didn't grow up
37:04
Speaker 3: with it, but I've been a part of it for
37:05
Speaker 3: most of my adult life. That stuff's going to happen.
37:08
Speaker 3: You have to kind of just put it aside and
37:10
Speaker 3: not take it seriously. But asking these types of questions
37:14
Speaker 3: in these sort of situations... Makes it be taken seriously,
37:18
Speaker 3: which is stupid. That's giving it way more energy than
37:21
Speaker 3: it ever should have been given in the first place.
37:22
Speaker 2: And then it just turns into this big thing and
37:24
Speaker 2: we got to... Everybody.
37:26
Speaker 1: Knows that actual behavior that was portrayed in this is unacceptable.
37:34
Speaker 2: Everybody knows that.
37:35
Speaker 1: And I don't need the person on social media either
37:39
Speaker 1: to take that stance.
37:41
Speaker 2: Oh, you're so wonderful.
37:43
Speaker 5: Righteous.
37:44
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm going to have to like you because... you
37:46
Speaker 2: know that you shouldn't do that. Really? You shouldn't truly
37:50
Speaker 2: hit a woman. You want to like for that?
37:53
Speaker 1: Like everybody knows that every decent human being knows that
37:57
Speaker 1: that should not happen, but we've blurred the lines with
38:01
Speaker 1: how we've allowed our young children to be entertained by.
38:05
Speaker 2: Video games, videos, movies these days.
38:08
Speaker 1: And I don't think everybody should be up in arms
38:11
Speaker 1: to that Arch Manning understands the difference between an actual
38:16
Speaker 1: video of abuse and a video that is parodying some
38:22
Speaker 1: sort of example of abuse.
38:25
Speaker 2: It's okay to think it's funny.
38:27
Speaker 1: It is.
38:27
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think it's funny, but I.
38:30
Speaker 1: Don't think we should be surprised that a 21-year-old kid
38:33
Speaker 1: thinks it's funny at this stage. All right, coming up
38:36
Speaker 1: next on this radio program, it's Mirror Mirror Time on KJR.
