  Speaker 1: morning long, joining us here on the radio program, Ashley's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: new golf partner, the former voice of the SuperSonics, and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: hopefully we'll be again from today. Joining us on the program,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the great Kevin collabro is with us. Good morning, sir,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Hello Chuck.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much for the introduction. Preciate that, and
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: we'll try to get you on your way for the
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: weekend here.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, get us there in the right way.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: How was Ashley's golf game, by the way, and then
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: just her overall personality around you.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: She was good, She didn't throw any clubs, there was no.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Cursing, couldn't figure out how life.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Couldn't just could not dial in the you know, the
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: distance on the putts, which is unusual because you know
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: that's her home course out there. So it was I think.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I think being in my presence, I think maybe unsettled
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: her a little bit, you know, and I have that
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: effect on people.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Couldn't stop shaking.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: That was it. Yeah, I believe it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I heard he had that effect on her husband as well.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: He was over there and knocking.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Me as well. Tom Mark was on fire. He was terrific.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: He carried us the whole afternoon. He was great.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: He was showing off in front of Kevin Collaboro. That's
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: why he said.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: He said, the coolest thing was when Kevin would would
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: comment on his shots and he's like.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: It's like he's just I've got the voice of God
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: just narrating.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I'm doing it.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: There was still a little bit of Jim nance that afternoon.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was awesome. He said it was the best
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: day ever. He loved it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Well, that's great, and because Ashley ran into Kevin at
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a golf event, She's like, come on our show and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Kevin's like, okay. And that was before Kevin decided to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: break all sorts of news this week, and so we
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: get to talk to him about that stuff. We get
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to probe into his personal matters here on the show.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: But I do want to say this before you know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we do dive into a few things. Softie really wanted
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to interview you too. Do you have a message for
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Softy since his feelings are hurt that you're on the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: morning show and not the afternoon show.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: You know, it's Bizarres. He called me about fifteen minutes
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: ago and he said, hey, did we trade out and
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Lister for the number one pick in nineteen ninety? And
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: my immediate reaction was, there's no way Golden State would
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: have gone for that. But indeed, the Blazers the Sonics
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: did trade out in Lister for the number what would
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: be the number one pick of nineteen ninety, which was
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Garry Payton. He was taking second in the draft, right
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: behind Derrek Coleman. So a little bit of a Sonics
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: history today, a Sonics flashback out in Lister. He was
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: thirty years old at the time, traded to the Warriors
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: being run and coached by Don Nelson, who had actually
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: drafted out in Lister and Milwaukee loved out in Lister,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: but gave up what would be the number two pick
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: overall in the draft in nineteen ninety and the Blazers
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: get Gary Payton and the rest of his history. I
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: mean Peyton's number. He's a Hall of Famer, He's got
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the gold jacket. His number is probably going to be
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: retired when the Sonics come back. It'll be out there
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: in the arena along hopefully alongside Sean Kemp up there
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: in the rafters, up there in the old the old barn,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the old Coliseum, the climate Pledge.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So you had that relationship with Softie. He just shoots
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you trivia questions and things of that.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, just just out of the blue he
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: called me, you know, hey, hey, hey man. I know
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: it was forty years ago, but did the Sonics actually
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: trade out and listened for a number one? Peck? I said,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I know, there's no way that happened, but it did,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Bob Bob with at the then general manager. That was
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: quite a coup of a heck of a trade. Yeah.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Well, a lot of great history, uh with you and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the Sonics. I'm just gonna go ahead and ask it
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: now it feels appropriate. Are you looking forward to making
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: more history with the Seattle SuperSonics.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think you gotta you gotta get
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: my status on that is. I'm back in the back
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: row with the uh, with the trombones and the piccolos
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: in the parade. I'm not going to get ahead of
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the parade, you know, I'm gonna let the leaders lead
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to the back row and uh. You know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to try to contribute any way I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: can uh to to the Sonics coming back. So anything
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I can do to to get them back, that's job one.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: And of course there's not much I can do other
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: than just send out some positive vibes and encourage people
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to hang in there because I think I think it
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: will happen. I don't think there's any question in NBA
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: basketball is coming back coming back to Seattle. But I'll
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: say this, I've been saying that since about two thousand
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and eight. People would ask Manton, I think it will
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: be another three years before the Sonics come back, But
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I really mean it this time. You know, obviously everything
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: is aligned, the commissioner is saying the right things. I
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: think the powers to be here in Seattle have been very,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: very patient and they've I think everything is lined up
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: to bring the Sonics back. I'm very positive about that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I am as well, But it is understandable that Sonics
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: fans who've been dragged through this don't want to just
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: count it, count on it happening, and are going to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: wait to celebrate when the deal is actually done and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: we've got verified information that they're coming. Why do you
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: think it's dragging on so long? And I'm talking about
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: just in the last two or three years, Like Selver
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: has been promising an announcement every six months for the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: last two years. It feels like why is Why is
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: something that looks so obvious seeming to drag on so long?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Well, I think they were waiting for a few things.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: The collecting barting agreement to get that done with the players,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: and then the television contracts they had to get that
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: ironed out. So now that all those issues have been
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: put to bed, I think the owners now can sit
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: down and take a look at it analytically. It all
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: comes down to money. You know, if this works out
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: well and the expansion numbers are right and commensurate with
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: what the owners will carve out of that lucrative TV
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: contract See That's what they're weighing is, you know, is
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: it going to be more profitable for us to bring
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: on two expansion teams in great markets and you know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Adam Silver of course has made no secret of that
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: in Seattle and in Las Vegas. Or is it better
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to just remain as we are thirty teams and just
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: reap the benefits of the national television contract. So I
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: think those are the big issues that they'll be looking at.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: And I think that's why taking so long is because
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: you've had those those two big dominoes that had to fall,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the collective bargaining agreement with the players and then that
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: incredibly lucrative television contract. And I think now they can
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: they've got all the data they need to make that decision.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: And you know, Adam Silver is indicated publicly that this
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: fall there probably will be a vote, there'll be a
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: determination as to whether or not they're going to move forward.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe he's waiting for Lebron to sign, so maybe that
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: was the last thing we needed to have.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Boy, that was big. Yeah, Lebron to Philadelphia, that's amazing news.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Philly is going to be just a fun team to
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: watch this year.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: No doubt Kevin collabor is with us. How do you feel.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's say it doesn't end up being expansion.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: There is talk about maybe relocation. How would it set
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: with you? Having been the Blazer's voice and then obviously
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the Sonics voice, that if the Blazers ended up moving
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: up north to see.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: How well, I don't think that's going to happen, To
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: be quite honest with you, I just don't for a
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: variety of reasons. I don't think that the NBA owners
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: are going to sit still. With a new owner sweeps
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: into Portland, things don't work out there, they don't come
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: to a resolution. I'm just saying hypothetically, and then he's
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: suddenly able to up and relocate to a right market
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: like Seattle after so many people have worked so hard
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: to lay the groundwork. I just don't see that happening.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I think what will happen? I mean, this is a
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: hard ball negotiation going on in Portland, but I think
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's going to get done.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: You know, the Blazers are Portland, and Portland is the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Portland Trailblazers. And even though they have a new owner
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: who may be passionate and really doesn't know anything about
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the market yet, you know, in terms of really diving
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: in there and getting to know the community. I mean,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: he obviously knows all the numbers. I think it's going
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to happen down there. I think they're going to be
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: around and they're going to be an exciting team. They've
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: got a terrific roster, very dynamic team on the Florid
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Damian Loller dispatch. John Moran is joining him now. Denny
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Advia had a terrific year last year. He's borderlined all NBA.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot to the fans to celebrate
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: down there once they get by this business of getting
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the building done, and you know, look to the city's credit,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: they're looking very carefully at this. It's going to be
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: a huge investment. The state has already made it known
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: that their contribution is there. It's on the table and
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: it will be until December thirtieth. The county is getting
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: on board as well. They're going to have a vote soon.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: The city's going to vote on August the twelfth. There'll
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: be twelve members of the council and then the mayor
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: will have the tie breaking vote. And I think it's
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: going to be a close vote, but I think it's
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: going to get done.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Why could you just not continue with them? What is
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: it that just was not going to make it tenable
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: for you?
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I just we worked very hard during the course
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: of the year to get an extension on the contract,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and we were just met with disinterest. And we continue
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: to work hard on it. Uh And the contract deadline
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: lapsed on June thirtieth, and at that point I was
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: free to do whatever I wanted to do, and we
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: still hadn't come to any kind of resolution at all.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: But I told my agent, le's hanging there. We gave
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: them another couple of weeks and they came back with
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: an offer that, frankly, was you know, it just you know,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: it just wasn't serious. So the inference I got was
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: that they didn't want me. And so at that point
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I just decided, you know, I just step aside because
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: you know, I want to. I want to move on.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: There are other projects out there that are interesting, and
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: you know I want to. I want to get into those.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I I may retire, I may not. I may retire
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: and do projects on the side. We'll see. You know,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: woodworking always seem to be pretty fascinating to meet Chuck.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: So well they get and get to work in my basement.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'd start with like a like a shoe,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: like a wood shoe, maybe like a kazoo or something
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, make the wood shoe. That would be interesting.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: YEA, well, Dutch craftsmanship, Dutch craftsmanship. I mean it's probably harder.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I'm probably not given enough credit. So uh well, obviously
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: everybody here in town uh knows uh and loves you
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: as a play by play broadcaster and already envisioning you
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: being the Sonics play by play broadcast. And I've already
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: kind of asked a question along these lines. I don't
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: mean to make you uncomfortable or put you in a
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: bad position, but I mean, is that something like legitimately
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: that you see yourself two years from now if you
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: got asked to be the play by play voice of
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the Sonics, that's absolutely what you'd like to do to
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: close out your career.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, Chuck, you put me in a very bad spot,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: made me feel very uncomfortable. No, I well, I mean sure,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I mean who wouldn't. But you know, we we can't
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: live in the past, you know, we can't live in
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: the in the nineties as much as we'd love to,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: you know, given today's current climate. But yeah, you know,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: look what I want to do is help in any
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: way I possibly can a new team here in Seattle,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: a new NBA team here in Seattle, in any way possible.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm that's that's kind of my mindset is, uh,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: if I can help in any way, I certainly will
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: do that. And I'm you know, I'm I'm going to
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: be listening. But you know, again, one one step at
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: a time. We gotta We're gonna let that parade roll out.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: And I'm just going to kind of be in the
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: back and play a little backup here on my trombone,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: and I just just hope that the basketballs are bouncing again.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: It is, I tell you what, It is very very
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: encouraging though to see all this sud and to see
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: all the former Sonics come back to the various events
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: and charity events that are going on this summer. You know,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: we saw Sean and Gary show up at the Rising
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Academy golf tournament that Ashley and I played in at
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Mill Creek, and by the way, they were just great hosts.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: It's just a beautiful layout there in a great club.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I've always enjoyed playing over there over the years. And
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: you know, Shawn and Gary showed up and there was
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: a line around the golf course, you know, waiting to
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: get their picture for Seawan and Gary. What a unique opportunity.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Jack Sigma Dead Love Shrimp. We see him, you know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: at all these events, giving their time, and so that's
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: always encouraging to see the old Sonics show up at
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: the community events.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Well, let's not short change the idea about just reuniting
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the nineties. I mean, expansion teams are always bad. Anyway,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: We'll just suit up Peyton and Camp and everybody and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: we'll just play play well.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: We definitely need to get We definitely need to get
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: those numbers up there in the rafters, There's no question
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: about that. I mean, those two guys brought so much
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: excitement and life to it. Deth Love Shrimp got his
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: number retired of course at U DUBB. Finally this year,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: it would be great to see his number hanging up
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: there as well. I mean, just bring him all back.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Why not? What a what a joyous occasion that would be.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Would you? I saw that you'd have interest even doing
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: college play by play. We have a vacancy here in Seattle.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, is that something that interests you Husky's play
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: by play guy.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that. No, I you know, I think
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: they need to get a young guy there that's going
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: to kind of grow with the program. And uh my,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: my sites would be I think on uh maybe doing
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: some some television here on the West coast and doing
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: some college basketball on the weekends. That would be kind
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: of that would be fun. But I think you dubbed,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: they probably need a you know, they need another young
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Tony to bring along. He did an excellent job and
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: wish him the best out there in Tampa Bay. Yeah.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Well, uh, I just uh, I think that would be
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: a nice little transition. Again, I don't I don't want to.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I don't want to put too much on your plate here.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: But you are just stirring the pot.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Am I'm trying.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: There's only so much I can do.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Goodness gracious, would you also like to co host with me?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: That chair has also opened up here recently. You're not
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: going to be a paid squad If you didn't like
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: that Portland offer, where do you see ihearts?
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, it's to me, it was more about
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: you know, being comfortable with the situation and you know,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: feeling respected. And you know, look, I had nine great
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: years down there, met a lot of people. Dol Walton
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: was a dear friend of mine. You know, when you
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: get a chance to work with guys like Neil Everett,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: as as I did, Michael Holton, who had been there
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: nineteen years, lamar heard the great brook Oles and Damn,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know I was. I was really blessed
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: to work with some extraordinarily talented people down there in
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Portland and work around great guys like Damian Lillard and CJ. McCollum.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Those two fellows were just were great to me when
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I first joined the club. Terry Terry Stotts, the former
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Sonic assistant coach, was the head coach of course of
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the Blazers when I got there in twenty sixteen, and
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: he welcomed me with open arms, and it was a
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: great experience down there. I really enjoyed it.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: So ideal world here then for Kevin collabor as the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: world exists right now. It was just time to move
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: on to Portland, want the Blazers to stay, Sonics back
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: in two years and then let the chips fall where
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: they may that's pretty much sum it up.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just stay healthy, continue to work on my craft,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: hang out with my family. They still love having me around.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: All four of my kids were blessed. All four of
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: my kids are living here in the Seattle area, so
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: you know, we see each other quite a bit, you know,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: hang out with my granddaughter. She's five and full of energy,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: and so yeah, life is good for us. No complainants.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Everything's good. As George Carl used to say, the basketball
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: gods have been good to.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Us and woodworking. I didn't mean to leave woodworking out
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: of the current situation too.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I'm going to learn how to make a flaw comfortable
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: comfortable shoes from wood.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Who knew, well, the market's dying for one. I'll tell
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you that funny, I need a comfortable wood shoe that
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: you can use on the basketball court. That would be fantastic. Well, hey,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: thank you very much for taking the time with us.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: We greatly appreciate it. And yes we do have our
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: wish list here for your future, but we'll work on
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: it one day at a time.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: How's that sound check? Thank you very much. You've made
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: me very uncomfortable and I appreciate that.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Kevin collabor joining us right here on the radio program,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Ashley's new golf partner. Of course, they've come fast. Friends
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: are now going to vacation together. I'm betting and Collaboral
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: will think of clever ways to describe all the things
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: that five Iron does on vacation.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I should just have him.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna have Kevin record some stuff and then when
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: he does it, I'll just pretty great.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Harlan like what Harlan's those crazy moments
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and he just decides to lend play by play to them,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: like when a fan runs out onto the field. I
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: mean he's sort of become famous for that. Yeah, I
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: mean collaboro. I know he's probably playing possum with us
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: on his plans for the future. That said, it would
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: be uh, that's that could be a business venture for
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: him where he just does play by play. People send
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: in videos and he just does play by play of
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: you like cooking dinner.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, Five Iron thought it was the greatest
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: thing on earth. He's like, oh and a great shot
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: from the big guy and five Irons just like, oh
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: my god, I can listen to this all day, all day.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Well, we appreciate him coming on. I mean, I know
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: he took it well. I felt I had to ask
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: him all of those questions because it's the questions that's
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: on the lips of every single person listening.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: And I don't know.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I'm I mean, I get it, I get it. I
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: get what he's saying. They should probably go with a
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: young person. But it kind of feels like what it
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: would be a nice little smooth transition, you know, two
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: years there.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: His reasoning was good, it's great, But I also.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: And I'm also I got another dog in the fire.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: There's another person I'm rooting for to get the Huskies
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: basketball job. So I'm a little torn on that. But
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: it just does kind of make sense, does it not.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say no to it, just the.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Thought, all right, coming up next, ABCS of the MS
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: come your way, Sports Radio ninety three point three kh
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: A RFM. So you probably know what's coming back, but
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: it's not really coming. It's not really coming. It's going
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to be different. D is for Dan, but D is
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: also for decidedly different. We had a listener that said, hey,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I've gotten your point. I get your points on the
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Dan thing, but can we maybe stop talking about the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: bullpen as much and start talking about the offense, which
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: is the real issue this team? And you are absolutely right.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely right that that is the real issue of
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the team. The only reason that I've brought up the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Dan bullpen thing is because I don't know if Dan
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: controls really that much about whether or not the offensive production.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he can really lay that on
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: his feet. I think managers do less today than they've
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: ever done from an x's and o's standpoint, to generate runs.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, we don't pinch run excuse me, we don't
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: pinch hit anymore, orcue me, sorry, we don't hit and
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: run anymore. We don't ever give steel signs. I mean,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: when's the last time you ever saw a third base
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: coach go through signs?
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Never whens the last time you saw this? I can't
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: recall it.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I saw this number.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the tug on the ear wiped down the.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Arm that used to be the thing that everybody made,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: you know, everybody kind of related to.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's like the base ongoing baseball joke.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, have your aunt Maudie, you know, act out a
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: baseball game and she's over there, Sin signs, right, Yeah,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: we don't even do that anymore, so that there's not
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: as much what he does controller pitching changes and bullpen
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and bench usage, and so that's why I've been harping
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: on that as of late. But let's change the topic here.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Let us talk about the offense. And this should give
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: you an indication that I agree with you that the
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: bigger issue is the offense and not Dan. The bigger
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: issue is not scoring runs otherwise. I mean, I've been
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: talking about a different trade every stinking day for the
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: last two months, somebody else that we could possibly get,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: and it's always an offensive player, is it not? Have
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I not just brought up an offensive player every single time?
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: So I am acknowledging I don't even think we need
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: to add a bullpen piece at the trading deadline, to
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: be honest, because once you get to the playoffs, you know,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Kate Anderson and Ryan Sloan are probably going to be
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: on this roster, hopefully Matt brashes back. If we still
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: have six pitchers, which maybe it's looking like we're not
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: six starting pitchers, two of those, not just one of them,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: two of them would be going to the bullpen even
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: if we just have five, you're not gonna have a
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: five man rotation in the playoffs. You're gonna have a
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: fore men. So you're gonna get an extra piece in
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: your bullpen from who doesn't make the starting rotation in
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, as long as you make the playoffs. So
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I don't even know. I mean, if he adds if
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: they add a relief pitcher at the trading deadline, great,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I see why. I understand why you would, But there
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: is an absolute you have to add a bat, yes,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: so we do have to get and that bat has
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to be somebody that crushes left handers. So I mean actively,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: not six months ago with the Boston Red Sox, not
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: six months ago with the Chicago White Sox. Like somebody
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: that right that, yes, yesterday crushed a left hander. Not
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: somebody that's gonna have an off season program and a
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: spring training with new hitting coaches. Somebody that Kevin Seitzer
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: won't even talk to to tell him his hitting philosophy. Yeah,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: somebody that just went from going two for four against
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the lefty last night and put on a new uniform
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: and without even having a conversation with Sitzer, goes into
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the batter's box and tries to rake for us. Saya
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Suzuki is the big name this twenty four hour news
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: cycle that keeps coming up. Emerson Hancock now possibly part
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: of the trade deadline equation. Sounds like, according to Ken Rosenthal,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the Mariners are shopping Emerson because they couldn't get a
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: trade partner for Luis and his contract, and so trade
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: one of the younger guys a lot more trade value
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: right there. He's under control through twenty thirty. Also, it's
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: not like you're giving somebody a prospect. You're giving somebody
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: somebody that can pitch right now. He's pitching at an
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: all star level right now. And the Cubs keep coming
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: up prominently in possibly an Emerson Hancock trade, and say
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: A Zuzuki's name keeps coming up. I don't know why
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: the Cubs would even trade say A Suzuki. He's that good.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: He's a middle of their order guy. They're trying to
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: win the playoffs. Probably they should trade some prospects and
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: get a pitcher. They traded some prospects to the Angels
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: for Jose Siriano. That makes a lot more sense than
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: trading say A Suzuki for Emerson Hancock. That said since
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: that ball is in play, I'll play it. I would
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: absolutely love to have Suzuki got a. Not only does
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: he hit both lefties and righty's, he is actively crushing
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: left handed pitching right now. And that's somebody you put
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: fourth in your lineup right there every single night. Right
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: he left, he doesn't matter. So yeah, and I would
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: trade Emerson Ancock in a move with Suzuki, but not
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: straight up talked about at six o'clock today. Yeah, Suzuki
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: for Hancock this season makes a lot of sense. They
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: trade from an offensive surplus and satisfy a pitching deficit.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: We trade from a pitching surplus and satisfy an offensive deficit.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: But what are you gonna give me for Emerson Hancock
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: from twenty twenty seven to twenty thirty because I'm gonna
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: need something for.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: That as well.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Hancock for Suzuki, Yes, but his contract expires at the
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: end of the year. I only get him for three months.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have to give me something for four more
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: years of Emerson Hancock and.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Yet a song otherwise we lose that.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: There was a suggestion that Matt Shaw straight up for
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock. Matt Shaw is injured with a thumb and
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: is out indefinitely. Way on Earth would we trade an
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: active All Star caliber starting pitcher for a hitter that
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: we can't use until a month or two from now.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: But you put him with Suzuki because Matt Shaw has
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: been the Cub's top prospect the last couple of years.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: And so we're trading for Suzuki for the twenty twenty
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: six Hancock to help the Cubs with their pitching rotation,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: and then we will trade Emerson Hancock twenty twenty seven
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: through twenty thirty for Matt Shaw, give us both. I'll
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: do that deal, Shaw and Suzuki for Emerson as much
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: as we love Emerson. Now that makes sense to me.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: So to me, it's about whatever trade we make if
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: we get a relief pitcher.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I understand, I'm in on that. But just to hammer
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: home the point that that texture was making, You're right,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the bigger issue is offense more so than Dan. But
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, I've kind of been forced
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: to talk about Dan a lot more than I've been
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: forced to talk about the offense. So yes, let's get
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: this offense fixed, and most of it's going to have
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: to come from within, by the way, Yeah, there's nobody
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: in the organization that saw cal Rally hitting one sixty
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: this year, or Julio get off to a great start
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: and then peter out again, or Josh Naylor being a
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: minus one war value. Nobody saw any of that coming.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: So most of it has to be solved from within.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: But absolutely we need to add a bat in the
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: next ten days.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think part of the issue too with
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: the Dan situation versus the offense situation is the offense situation.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: We've had the same conversation about the offense what seems
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: like for three years. I mean, they the inconsistencies. Yes, yeah,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: you know, sometimes they'll put up eight runs, but then
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: the next day they get two hits. And it is
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: that same roller coaster that we've written as Mariners fans
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: for the last three years.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Probably five five, okay, yeah, so longer. So it feels like,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Going all the way back to the Seager Hanneger team, Yeah,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: you're right. I mean they didn't hit in that first half.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Either they got hot in the second half. We always
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: have a tear in the second half or maybe it's coming.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: Maybe, But that's why I think the Dan thing is
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: more of a focus versus the offense thing because the
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: damn thing is more glaring in our face as a
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: newer issue.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Well, And I mean we had offense major offensive issues
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: last year. That's why we went and got the two
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: best two big bats at the deadline, Naylor and Gino.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, Gino is a forty to fifty homer season
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: last year. We added that at the deadline a year ago.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: So I mean we were having off major offensive issues
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: last year, right, Yeah.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: So that's why it's that's why it doesn't seem like
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: as much of an everyday topic, because it's like pulling hair.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Is four even? Are we even with the Texas Rangers?
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I mean the standings kind of suggest that we are.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: We are a half game back starting this four game series.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: They've played better. They are twenty second in runs, not great,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: but we're twenty ninth. They're twelve and zero on base percentage,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: you're twenty fourth, fifteenth and slugging, we're twenty nine. I
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: mean they've underachieved by their standards. Offensively, Corey Seekers hitting
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: one to eighty two this year. Corey Seekers having a
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Raleigh year. Evan Carter, who man I thought was gonna
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: end up being a start in one ninety one why
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: at Langford once again not available injured all the time,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: and he's injured right now, so he's not going to
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: be in this series. So even with all of that,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: they've still been a lot more productive than what the
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Mariners have ERA though. We're top five by the way,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: we're top five, and relief pitching too. For all of
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: those that think are bullpen stinks, we're in the top five.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: We're fifth, and we're top five in ERA. They're twenty first,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and they have an all star closer, Jake Lats has
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: been phenomenal this year unexpectedly, and then they've got you know,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have gore, Yvaldi, de Gram and Rocker in
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: this series. I mean that's at least three out of
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: four really good, good pitchers that we're gonna have to
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: go up against. Now I believe they're going to have
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: to go against four out of four really good pictures
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: over the course of the next four days. The statistics
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: suggest that the Rangers have had a better first half
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, but I still think we're
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: a lot better than them. I don't think we're even
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Vegas still has the Seattle Mariners as top five best
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: odds would have record under five hundred, still top five
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: best odds to win the World Series. And our number
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: is plus thirteen hundred the Texas Rangers plus three thousand.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: That is a monstrous gap. So Vegas is telling you.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: That no one wants to believe it.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: National analysts are telling you Mariners are Jim Boden told
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: us earlier this week. Jim Boden said the Mariners could
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: do nothing at the trading deadline and they should still
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: run away with the American League West. We just had
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the Rangers play by or not play by play. Guy
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: beat writer yesterday tell us on the show that that
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: most people associated with the Rangers think they should sell
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: at the trading deadline. They don't even in first place
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: and a half game up on the Mariners. They feel
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: that the Mariners will get it together and that the
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Rangers are this, this is what the Rangers are, a
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: five hundred middle and team, and that the Mariners should
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: pass them. And so for those reasons, the Rangers, a
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: lot of people think that they should should sell at
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: the trading deadline and not buy where we are undoubtedly buyers.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: If we sold, I think there would be a riot.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, exactly, so, so yeah, I don't think we're
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: even standing say that, not only I mean even is
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: looking at it glass half full. I mean we're actually
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: a half game back of them. But I don't think
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: this is an even matchup. I just think the Mariners
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: are a lot better than the Rangers. Finally, and this
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: is quickly f is for first Keith Law who a
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: lot of people love his analysis of prospects, particularly, he
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: has a list that he sends out every year that
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: people gobble up, baseball fans gobble up, and then halfway
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: through the year he updates that list. Well, he updated
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: his list this week and his number one prospect in
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: all of baseball.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Is Kate Anderson.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Whoa Kate Anderson. Kate Anderson's ready. And that's another thing
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: with the Hancock trade, Like, even if you moved Hancock,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: and we all like Emerson and we love his story
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: this year, but if you moved him, even if something
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: happened to one of your five injury wise in the
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: second half, you probably are upgrading the rotation because Kate Anderson,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: you know, he's probably our third best starter in the
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: entire organization.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's still in Arkansas.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: And he's just in Arkansas not allowing a hit every night.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Like it's just unbelievable the heads this guy has turned.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: So we're good. Even if we trade away Emerson Hancock,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: we still have more starting pitching depth than pretty much
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: anybody in the sport right now. All right, coming up next,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: we'll close out the week with Booze New Sports Radio

• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Be a mixologist and you're done. I mean, if you

• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, usually depends on whether I sleep that week.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: Well, that's true, and that's probably why it felt long,
• 35:44

• 35:46
  Speaker 4: day work here and then a golf tournament, which was
• 35:49

• 36:27
  Speaker 3: But I did take a photo of Benton with them.

  Speaker 3: on our surn't.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hurt your feelings or anything, but

• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, you were suggesting that you were
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: going to avoid.
• 38:22

• 38:25
  Speaker 4: a sudden, Karen and Jacob and their cousin Marilyn and
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: I are pretty much going to be family because we
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: bonded so much.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, maybe a little bit, okay, a little bit.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: All right, Well i'll work on that. I'll work on that.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: Moving on, the Mariners are in Texas starting tonight, and
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: you know what they say, everything is bigger in Texas.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know what that means in this scenario, but
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: win in Rome, yeah right, yeah, yeah, this.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: Feels like a very important series for the Mariners. So
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: I expect a series split and would love to be
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: pleasantly surprised with a sleep and sure, yeah, I'll take
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: a win series win, why not?
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're gonna build all this up and it's.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Just gonna be a split.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's what That's what it's like. Prime
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: for that.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: I can't really predict anything more. The team I've been
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: watching play and I don't think it's gonna be less.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: We're gonna split her up.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: And I think we'd win tonight.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: We'd lose Saturday, when Sunday lose Monday, very specific, yeah,
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: because I think we'll come in Monday on a positive note.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then Tuesday, I don't know.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, I would really love it if we're gonna,
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: I'd love to hear.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: The winning song Monday and Tuesday. So if we could
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: just work that out, that'd be great.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: It's like Mick Jagger used to always tell me, like,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: be satisfied.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: With a split.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: I thought he said he couldn't get any satisfaction.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: He said that to other people. Oh okay in our
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: own personal exchanges.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah that makes sense, that makes sense. You did
