Chuck & Buck 5-29 Hour 4: Spencer Hawes, ABC's of the Mariners and Booze News! · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:11
  Speaker 1: All right, here we go into our final hour of
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the show, final hour of the week. It's Chuck Paladin,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Nashley Ryan with you. We entered the nine o'clock hour
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: here Chuck and Buck in the morning Sports Radio ninety
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM, Boo's News to close out our week.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Coming up, we've got ABC's of the MS at nine
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: thirty and joining us now. He's been joining us once
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: per week throughout the NBA Playoffs for a second year
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: in a row. And it's been a while because we
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: had them on I think last Monday as our day
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: to have on Spencer, and now we're having them on
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the following week on a Friday. So it's been way
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: too long since we've caught up with local basketball legend
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Spencer Halls and our NBA expert analysts throughout these playoffs
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: joining us here on Chuck and Buck. How are you, sir?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I was telling Ashley off the air, I'm a lot
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: better than I would have been if the series would
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: have ended the last night.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Hope still alive? All right?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Clear something up for us? Was that you or was
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: that your seven foot doppelkanger that went to watch the Spurs?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: What was a game for.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: That was game three. Yes, and that was me? Okay,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I confirmed, okay, was me yelling at Chet?
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Thank goodness.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: I would have been real worried if there was another
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: one of you, another seven foot tall Spurs fan.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what were you yelling at Chet?
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Yell?
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Just you know, just things in the spirit competition. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: don't really remember. I was pretty excited.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Oh oh, I bet you didn't remember.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Excited or inebriated.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Isn't it? Isn't it crazy that? I mean, Chet Holmgren's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the seven foot one inch bit of a free himself,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and he's just dwarfed out there. He looks like, you know,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: he looks like me standing next to you when he's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: trying to guard wimby.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Everybody, I mean, he makes everybody look like that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: And I think usually when you have these outliers, you
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: kind of adjust to their physical profile or their skill
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: set or whatever they're doing out there. And it's I've
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: watched a lot of Vickers games since he's been in
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: the league.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I saw a lot of them before, and it's still
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: hard to calibrate your eyes to the things that he
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: does out there and how he stands out and a
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: league that's full of mutants. He stands above the rest.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. All right, so it's been pretty clear.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I mean a couple of things. When Wimby puts up
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: big numbers, the Spurs win. When he doesn't, the Thunder win.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And then also when the thundershoot a lot of free throws,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: they win. When they don't, they lose. So as you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: get ready for game number seven, what is going to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: be the key to this thing? Keeping the Thunder off
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the free throw line or the Thunder trying to figure
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: out a way to stop Wemby or not.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's the Thunder free throws as much
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: as it because if you look at the series, the
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Spurs have actually shot more free throws. I think a
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: lot of that has to do with their makeup, and
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you know, their guards that want to live in the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: paint versus Okasey's guards, especially with their injuries, are more
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: spread out. But it's it's definitely stand out of bonus,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: keeping Shay out of the bonus where you get these
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: stalves at thirty forty feet where he can just go
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: rack up free throws when they're not in an attack position.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: But I loved Wendy's aggressiveness last night coming out. You know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: he was making the three, so those look better. I
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: would have liked to have seen him around the hoop,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: but at least he was starting down there and not
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: not trying to initiate every thing from outside the three
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: point line. So obviously that's the you know, he's the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: game plan for both teams. I think Oklahoma City, when
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: they're others have made shots and played with confidence, offense
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: tends to translate to defense and they get a little
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: more juice on that end and kind of get rolling.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So I think it's really trying to for the Spurs, obviously,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: get Vic going, get him going early, and let him
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: open things up for the rest of those guys. And
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I'm for the Thunder. It's you know, Shay still hasn't
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: had a big game or a legacy game. You know
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: that's in there somewhere. I personally hope that he pumps
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: that for next season. At some point. I think it's
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: going to come down to the Battle of the Superstars.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Spencer Hawis is with us talking NBA playoffs here as
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: we will get a Game seven of the Western Conference
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Finals on Saturday, But you know that first game between
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: these two teams. Was just one of the best basketball
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: games that I've ever seen in my lifetime. It was
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: so entertaining, so wildly entertaining. But since that time, you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: we've had an average point differential of seventeen points. We
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: haven't really had that compelling theater. I mean, obviously an
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: evenly match series, but even the match from the standpoint,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: they just keep alternating blowouts throughout this entire series. I
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: was talking a little bit earlier in the show. I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: think it's unfair the critics of the NBA when because
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I think today's game can be beautiful, and maybe as
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: beautiful as it's ever been. I realize that it's not
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: as physical, but we do have incredible skill on display,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and when it's done right, I mean, it's as good
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: a basketball as you're going to find. But I will
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: side with the old curmudgeon on his couch that doesn't
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: like the NBA Spencer. I certainly don't think it's as
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: tough as it used to be, as physical it used
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to be. I mean, and that is by design, but
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: does that happen him packed on the players themselves and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: their psyche. When the thunder falled down by twenty points
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and they know they have a game in pocket and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: game seven will be an OKC. In the past, I
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: think maybe a Jordan team or a Charles Barkley led
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: team would have fought to try to get back and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: win that game. Where it feels like today's athletes, if
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: they've got that game in hand, kind of roll over, like,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: all right, let's not waste our energy here on game
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: six trying to come back from a twenty point deficit.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Let's save it for game number seven. Do you think
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that there's anything to that? Or am I being just
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a little confused? What would you say to that?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think they're rolling over. I think they
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: got to the point where, okay, they looked at the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: way the game was going and the way that they
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: were playing, and the math says this is the point
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: when it's over. I mean, the detail of it with
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the team's analytics, and you know, at this point of
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the game, if you're out by this many, even the probabilities,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: like they're just playing the numbers, and they knew about
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the middle of that fourth quarter that it's it's not
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: worth the potential energy or rolling the dice on a
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: twist ankle or something like that. Where you know, the
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Spurs did what they were supposed to do at home.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: They came out, they buried on you know, Okay, see
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: he was kind of sticking around at the end of
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the first half, and they came out in the third
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: quarter and buried them. And when that happened, that's kind
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: of the last you know, if you're definder, that's what
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: you know that yes, is it plausible, potentially, but it's probably,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: it's not probable. And I think this series when they
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: let him play, has been as physical as any that
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I've seen in a long time, and I think it's
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: beautiful to watch when they let the athletes determine it
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and not Tony Brothers and the rest of his official cronies.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Do you think, though, there is a problem. I mean,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: here you have this series everybody's looking forward to. We're
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: six games in, we've had one close game, even though
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: we're going to get a game seven. Do you do
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you have a problem with the fact that we really
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: haven't had that many competitive actual games.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of like the best worst series in
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the fact that obviously these all year, these are the
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: two best teams in the league by every metric, by
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: a healthy margin. They are in the midst of an
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: incredible seven game three HS match that I think just
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: as has gotten more and more interesting with the adjustments
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: and everything as it's gone along. But you know, this
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: is both these teams had huge point differentials over the
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: course of the season, disproportionate ones. They're use to win,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: not only winning winning consistently, but when they do win,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: they you know, they don't play with their food, as
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: we like to say. They they make sure if they
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: put a healthy enough distance where they're not going to
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: have to stress down the stretch if they can. And
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I thought that. I definitely thought the games would be closer,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: but it's kind of both teams them of this is
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: how they win. And I don't think Game seven will
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: be a blowout. I hope it's not a blowout because
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: it has the potential to be. You know, I know
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: SHA's going to come out aggressive early. You know Victor
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: is going to come out aggressive early. It's it's going
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: to be the tighten Titan be Titan, and I think
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: it has a chance to be one of the best
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: games in a long time.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Well, we all know who Spencer wants to win this game,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: but who do you think is going to win and why.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's tough because I obviously have
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: so many biases for many different reasons towards the team
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: in San Antonio. I think I think they're they're young players.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: With what their lack experience, I think they've grown up
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: a lot just over the course of this series, not
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: to mention this playoff run that they've been on. And
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I think Victor is the best player. I think he's
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: the best player in the world. And my kind of
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: general rule of fun in basketball or really any sport
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: is it's game seven, winder go home. I've got I'm
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: the best player, and I hope I'm not jinxing it
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: like I said earlier. You know, you know, Shae's got
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: a generational game in him. He's a two tin MVP
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: for a reason, and I just don't want to see
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: it be generational because she's twenty six free throws. Again.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: How is your friend Mitch Johnson? How's he holding up
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: through all of this? This is really his first experience
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: with all of this. Is he feeling the pressure at all?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: If he is, he's he's not really showing it. You know,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Mitch has always kind of been the cool hand Luke
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: of the crew, And I think it's his nature, it's
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: his nurture. His demeanor is he's always uh, he's always
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: kind of a consistent one. So I think he was
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: built for this. He was built for these moments. And uh,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: you know he's he's prepared, he's confident. And now you
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: go put it on the line and see what happens.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Where did your relationship with him start? And uh, and
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: what has it been like over the years. I mean,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: we knew he was your friend, but how close a
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: friends are you?
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Well, we were both in each other's weddings. Okay, so
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: he actually he hosted be on my eighth grade visit
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: to oday. That was the first time I remember really
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: talking to him. I always looked up to him because
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: they you know him, Martell Brockman. They were all kind
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: of big kids on the vocal basketball circuit. And then
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: uh became friends in high school and started playing with
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: each other on Friends of Hoop and then he's he's
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: a Queen Anne kid like myself. So the proximity helped
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: and been been buddies ever since.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: That's great, That's phenomenal. Yeah, Spencer Oss is with us
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: here as a local basketball legend here in Seattle. Of
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: course you know that, and he's been our NBA analysts
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: throughout the last two NBA postseasons, and so as we
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: get ready for the Western Conference Finals here on this Friday,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Spencer breaking it down for you. And we haven't even
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: talked about the Knicks just yet. I mean, my goodness,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, how did this happen? I said it earlier
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: in the week. I think they might be playing better
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: than any sports team, regardless of level, in the entire
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: world right now. I mean, to max out their abilities.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: They seem to be doing it right now as a team,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and I'm just curious as to whether or not you
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: think they can sustain that for another series against heightened competition.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: You know, it kind of it's a weird comparison because
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: it's a cross sports, but they kind of remind me
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: of this year Seahawks team, where you know, see who
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: starts and it's kind of like, what do we got?
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: And then then it gets rolling. You're like, Noah, they're good,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: but we need to see it. And then they it's
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: like they just continue to get better and better throughout
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the regular season, and then all of a sudden, they're
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: healthy they got their whole roster, and they run through
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, you know, like a snowball going downhill. So
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I think the rest versus russ saying that is a
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: position you want to put yourselves in as a team,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I think you always you always choose the rest, especially
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: at this point of the season. But this is what could.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: They traded five first round picks for mchel Bridges and
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: they made the big move for Cat. This is what
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: they were shaping it up, em betting on this kind
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: of core of shooters around Brunt, and they can all
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: switch and defend and playmate every night. It's it can
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: be a different guy for them. You can get a
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Josh Hart game one night and you come back and
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Landry Shampman is going nuts, hitting threes and locking up
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: on the other end. So it's yeah, I think they
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: if whoever comes out of the Western Conference, I think
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: it is steering a lot differently about playing the Knicks
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: than they would have been two or three weeks ago.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: And that's what you want to see. A championship team
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: in any sport is one that gets better and is
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: peaking at the right time, and they're exemplifying that as
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: much as any team in any sport.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we've spent the entire year. I think
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: most basketball fans just expecting whoever comes out of the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: West is going to win this thing. And maybe Boston,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: if they're rolling, could possibly be a team that could
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: upset a Western team in the finals. But no one
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: gave Detroit a chance. No one thought about the Knicks
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: being able to do that. Hell, I was just sitting
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: at the bar the other day with a guy watching
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the Spurs Thunder play and he repeated that same refrain, Well,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: whoever comes out of this is going to win. And
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I think that so many people have just used that
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: as the backdrop to this season that we're accustomed to
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: saying it, and yet here we get closer to it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Is like, Hey, if the Knicks keep playing the way
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: they're playing, they're not losing to anybody. I mean, but
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they can keep playing that well, Spencer,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: but that version of what we've seen from the Knicks,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: whether or not they're playing a team that's better on paper,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: if they keep playing with that kind of efficiency on
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: both ends of the floor, don't you think they win
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the championship?
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah? And I agree with that. I think the question
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: is what is the level of competition that has allowed
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: them to present themselves in the light and in a
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: way that they're telling right now. That's obviously the million
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: dollar question I was. I was really disappointed the Cavs
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: that they would I definitely didn't think they'd get Brooms sick.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: But you know, I've I've been waiting on that team
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: to take a leap since they've kind of put together
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: this current iteration of their core, and I think that
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously the Knicks are playing really well. How
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: well will and when the finals start and they get
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: to a level of competition that is significantly higher in
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: whichever team wins on uh geez, tomorrow night. It comes
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: quickly night in the playoffs. So I haven't really gotten
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: too deep in the leads on like what Vegas is
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: saying about the next chances. I don't I don't love
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: that at this time of the year. But uh, they're
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: a wagon, They're well coached. They're going to be probably
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: as prepared as any team going into the finals in
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: a while, with the with the rest that they've had
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: off and the time they've had the really scour through.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Whichever team ends up prevailing, and uh, I'd be excited
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: if I were a Knicks game right now. And I
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: know that's based on the scenes that seen out of
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: coming out of Manhattan. Uh they are.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, Challo May is fired up too, and that's
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: really important to all of us to know that Timothy
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: shallow May is excited. It's clearly very important, Spencer, to
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the national conscience to make sure that Timothy Shallo May
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: is happy about the Knicks, because we have to see
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: it every three seconds during the game.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what happened is bench owner Spike League. I mean, yeah,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: get back to the traditions, Like he just it's like
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: he's over all of a sudden, He's just taking over
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: the you're cliche Mount Rushmore Knicks fan.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I wonder if Spike Lee is like jealous. I wondered if,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: in an honest moment, he's been like, what about me?
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Been waiting for this my entire life? I used to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: be the guy. All right.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: So that's that's what doom does for you.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, all right. So where are you going to
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: watch the game tomorrow? Are you going to be in Oklahoma?
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Are you going to be on your couch? You're going
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: to get together with Uh. The other are members of
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: your you know, groomsman. Uh, what are you gonna where
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: are you gonna be? Who are you gonna be watching
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: it with? And and and give us the lowdown.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: DVD. The basement at my house has had some pretty
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: good juju. We had about half of our fantasy football
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: league over last night, of which coach Johnson has been
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: the commissioner, uh going on two plus decades. So shout out,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: shout out NFA madness. We need the juju. We need
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: to we need to band together.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I love that he's the commissioner of your fantasy football league.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Is any good?
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: No?
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: He rules with an iron fist, but I guess it's
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: part of the course.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: But is he good at fantasy football or just good
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: at organizing?
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: No? He was terrible forever, but then he got a
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: championship and now it's like you can't say anything to him.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: So it's it's kind of like, what, uh what we're
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: a little worried about if you go and gets the
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: real one. But that's a problem I'd look forward to having.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Well he's now well, now you've shed a whole new
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: light on the finals. He has championship experience. I mean,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: that's been the knock on Mitch Johnson. He doesn't have
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: championship experience, but now we know he's won a fantasy
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: football title, so that's not going to be a factor
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: at all tomorrow or in the NBA finals. That's great
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: to hear he's.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Used to that level of pressure. I guess.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: All right, man, Well enjoy Thanks great stuff as always,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: and we'll bug you next week.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks for having me.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Spencer Oz joining us right here on Chuck and Buck
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: in the mornings. All right, coming on next your ABC's
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: of the MS Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: R f M Auburn. You just get more at sunset
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and people do like that. Sure, do gravitate toward it.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, they embrace it. Yeah, soak themselves
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: in it.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, people do like it.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: They do all right, ABC's the MS and I am
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: at the end of the alphabet. I do love it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: When we have X y Z to close out on
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: a Friday, it feels like something's working fate. Yeah, exactly.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: So that's what we've got today. Now. The bad part
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: about that is hard to find matches for X y Z.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: The alphabet does have its limitations. When we get to
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: this tough part of the order, you got to be creative,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: and so we'll start with xxes for extreme ed. I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: mean it has been an extreme struggle, has it?
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Not?
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Against left handers, right against left handed pitching, we've had
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: a struggle. Maybe we've started to come out of it.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: We face Gauge Jump and Jeffrey Springs of the A's
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: and back to back games won both games. Rattled the bats,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: as my dad used to say, wait to rattle those bats, boys.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: We rattled those bats against all left handers in the
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: last two games. So maybe we're coming out of it.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe we want to keep going with that. Maybe we
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: want to go to the other extreme as opposed to
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: avoiding left handers. Maybe we want to face left handers
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: right now, strike while the iron.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Is hot, bring it on lefties.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Well, we're going to face the other extreme here today
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: because the Diamondbacks only have one left hander that could
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: possibly pitch this entire weekend, and that's out of their bullpen.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: They have a left handed starter and what Eduardo Rodriguez,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: but we're gonna avoid him entirely. So that means there's
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: only one left hander on the entire Diamondbacks roster. And
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: he's not exactly a household name either. Brandon Garcia is
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: his name. And so if we do struggle, particularly at
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: home against left handed pitching, doesn't sound like we're gonna
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: have to worry about that this weekend.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, that's all right.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: I don't think, you know, we don't need to go overboard, right,
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: we got to face lefties two times in a row.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: I don't think we now need to be like, you
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: know what, that's all we need is lefties, just lefty, lefty, lefty, No,
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: bring it on, that's right.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: So that's fine.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: We'll face some righty's throw a lefty in there if
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: you dare.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And Brandon Garcia, I don't know, maybe they'll try
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: to work him one big inning every single game. It's
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: not like he's, you know, somebody that they count on regularly.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: He's only pitched eleven games for them so far this year.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Apparently wore a Mariner uniform at one point, even though
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I do not remember him.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: I don't either.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we should not have to deal with left
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: handed pitching at all this weekend against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Why is for yen? Is that a form of money. Yeah, okay,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go with the end. I was going to
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: try to maybe even make up a word, because there's
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: a synonym or a you know, an urban dictionary word
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: for money for like every letter in the alphabet, except
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we have one for why. I
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: was gonna say, yeast. I was just gonna make one up.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: How's your yeast looking these days?
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: I don't think I want to answer that.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Man, man, oh man, the yeast is rolled.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: My pockets are full.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I just won my bet. That's a lot of yeast,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of yea.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta do the money aside while you're talking
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: about it too.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: That's a lot of yeast in there.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, Marshawn makes things up and everybody thinks they're cool.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: You know, how's your chickens and your whatnot and your chickens?
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Can I just say, you know, how's your yeast?
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: You can? People are gonna look at you like your nuts.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I think it sounds better than your chickens.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Well I'd rather have chickens.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: All right. Anyway, let's talk yeast. Let's talk money. Because
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: somebody had made the suggestion about, you know, the finances
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: it's such a long haul to get to the actual
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: money in baseball. I mean, when did you start following
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to pick on this person, because I
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: appreciate them listening and they took the time to but
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: did you stop following baseball in sixty three? I mean,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: do you know how much yeast these guys make? Do
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: you realize that the league minimum? Johnny Pareda makes seven
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty thousand dollars per year? Seven hundred and
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: eighty that's league minimum.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, he's so broke. I'm so sorry.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: And now do you know they still get meal money,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: like they don't even have to spend their own money
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: when they're on the road, and it's not a little
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: amount they get like meal. There was a guy by
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the name of Pat Kelly used to play for the
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Whys Free Yankees, and he my brother used to work
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: for the Yankees. And the story my brother relayed to
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: me was that Pat Kelly his first year in the league,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: because he didn't know if he was going to have
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: much of a career, he saved, he only spent his
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: meal money and saved his entire salary and put it
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: in the bank. Oh okay, So then they get free shoes,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: and they get free back They get food everywhere they go.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: They get free food at the ballpark, they get free
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: food at Team Mobile. They bring it to them before
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the game, after the game. Like I mean, you're looking
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: at once you tally up all the free stuff they get.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Not to mention, you know, charter flights, you know. I mean,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: they're all making a million dollars a year. That's why
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: that's going to be a bit of a battle. I mean,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the MLB is going to have to do a hell
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: of a job convincing them. Hey, look, this isn't about money.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: You guys in your union have always been about what's
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: in the best interest of future generations of this sport.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: That's why you've always been such a good union. That's
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: why you've always driven such a hard bargain. I'm telling you,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: we're not trying to screw you over financially. We are
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: going to pay you. We're going to give you a
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: fifty to fifty split of the money. Right, We're going
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: to pay you, But you gotta play ball with us
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: a little bit. If you really do want to take
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: care of future generations. We got to grow this game
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: with our fans and with globally and everything else. And
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the best way to do that is to let our
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: fans believe that every city has a chance to win
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: every year in Major League Baseball, and it really comes
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: down to the quality of moves you make and the
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: quality of play on the field, and it does just
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't come down to whoever has the most yeast. You
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Sadly I do.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: So that's the fight that they're up against. But they're
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: also dealing with every single player in the Union is
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: a millionaire. Yeah, so it was like, what are you
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: gonna do? Lock us out?
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: So what?
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so I'll just.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I got money to I got money to burn money. Yeah,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: good luck trying to get into a financial battle with
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: somebody sitting on a mountain of yeast. That's all I'm saying.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: I like someone with emphysema.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: All right, Finally see is for Zanino? Oh yeah, because
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: here's the truth. And we are just about a week ago.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Hopefully we're a week away from cal Raleigh. You know, caw,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: my birthday's on Thursday.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, come home.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Be a nice gift to be healthy and ready to go.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I want a new oblique for Cal, a healthy oblique
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: for Cal for my birthday, and so he is right
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: now Succording to CBS, the target date for his return
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: is on June fifth. I mean, we're starting to play
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: better baseball, or at least it feels that way. We
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: couldn't have played worse through fifty seven games and yet
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: still a first place team a game under five hundred,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: with our best player having played poorly so far this year.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: The truth of the matter is, and he's not been
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: He's not been void of contribution. He has hit seven
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: home ron so far this year. He was on a
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: thirty home run pace when he got injured, which is
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: not sixty but thirty for a catcher. Still from a
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: power standpoint, I mean, Jay Buner was like, you just
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: keep doing this, No, no, Jay, But from a home
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: run perspective, and obviously he's a very good to grade defender,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: and he has a great teammate and they love him,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: and so there's intangible, there are tangibles. Jerry Depoto told
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: us in spring training, if he has two eighty grades,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: that's his power and his intangibles, and eighty is the
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: utmost grade in the scouting world for a baseball player.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: You know, so that's something that's been missing and he's
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: always going to contribute to that to the team. But
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the truth of the matter is, well, we've had behind
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: the plate so far this year prior to the injury
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: was Mike Zanino, and Mike Zanino was not a bad catcher,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: but he was a strikeout machine. He'd hit the occasional
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: home run, and he'd give you a good effort behind
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: the plate, good solid defense behind the plate. Call a
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: decent game for you behind the plate. Col calls a
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: great game behind the plate, and we obviously won more
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: than that. And so I'm not saying that to pick
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: on Cal. I'm saying that as another thing to be
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: encouraged by fifty seven games into the season, a game
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: under five hundred, and yet somehow still in first place
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: despite all of this that has gone sideways for this
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: team so far. I don't think it could be a
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: worse start based on the talent that we have on
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: this roster. And so if we can just clean up
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: our mentals and get Cal back to being Cal. He
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to be last year's Col, but he does
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: need to be more than Mike Zanino for this team
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: because we're counting on that. Mike Zanino did a nice job,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: he handled his game. But Cal Raley, we need to
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: be a star at minimum, maybe not a superstar. Maybe
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have to put up superstar our numbers every year,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: but we need him to at least be a star.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: And so we get that back here in about a
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: week and uh and then I think we're going pretty well.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: So we're we're looking for better than Zanino right now. Okay,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: that's what we're looking for.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, b t z.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Btz all right. Coming up next, we're gonna close out
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: the week with uh booze news. Do want to let
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: you know that it's not just cal celebrating my birthday

  Speaker 1: All right, booze news to close out the week next
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. I mean it's
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the yeast people with all right, get ready to close
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: out the show, close out the week before we hand
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: things off to Greg Bell and Christopher Kid. They're coming
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: your way at ten o'clock here this morning. You know something,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: A lot of pressure on myself during the course of
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: a broadcast show or a broadcast week to give a
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: really well balanced four hour show. Even though I know
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: hardly anyone listens for all four hours, they still kind
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: of feel compelled to try to come up with a
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: fully well balanced four hour show just in case somebody is.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: You know, I want that to be the case. And
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: yet I've always had bosses say you can repeat things
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: all the time. I want people, you know, might only
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: lee listening for this period of time, you can repeat
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: them all the time. And I try to avoid that.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I really do. And yet I for some reason, the
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Today's Show got trapped on our television this morning, and
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I haven't taken the time to change it. That is
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: the thirty fifth time Charlie Puth has been interviewed this
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: morning on the Today Show.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: I feel like they're taking advantage of them if they're
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: interviewing them that many times.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, do they just repeat the same show every
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: half hour all morning long? I mean, wouldn't they go
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: to another program a big network?
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say, thought at nine o'clock they did
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: a third hour show, but I thought that was with
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: different people.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man, that.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Is I'm I exaggerated. The first time. That is the
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: seventh time I've seen that interview in four hours.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: It seems like they're well, at least they're getting a
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: lot of mileage out of it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's a big network television show. Why am
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: I putting so much pressure on myself? Fill out these
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: four hours?
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Plan an hour?
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah and just yeah, exactly exactly. I think that's what
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. How we're going to get our yeast
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, we're going to get our yeast on. All right, Well,
• 33:31

• 35:08
  Speaker 1: The causing us Since six, every.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Guy named Dave's like, what did I do?
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: Guys and gals, I have great news for you. It's
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: not very often that sports gets blessed with something organic
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: and wonderful. But it happened to US Mariners fans years ago,
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: and now it is happening to Mississippi State softball.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: That's right? Is it another broccoli guy?
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: This one just as awkward and wtfi a little rounder,
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: same lack of rhythm, same cruciferous veggie hands. Oh wait,
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: it's the same guy.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Boy.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: You had me going all sorts of directions.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the same damn broccoli guy has now shown up,
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: and yes, Pien has picked it up.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: What would bother you more? What bothers you more that
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: it is the same guy that has decided to go
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: around the country doing it, or if there was somebody
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: cop saw broccoli Guy and decided to copycat him like
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: he was gonna get away with it at an SEC softball.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: I'm glad you asked this, Chuck, because I thought to myself,
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: what would bother me more? And it's the fact that
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: it's the same guy. I agree, because I think now
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: it's like, so you're doing it again to get attention again.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: But it would also bother me that he would feel
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: flattered that someone else was doing his stupid things.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: So I guess the more the story either way, more
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: broccoli guy is just what bothers us.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: I saw some NFL writer or no college football writer
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: that said, hey, have anybody seen this guy that just
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: dances with broccoli? And I'm like, wait a minute, Yeah,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: where is he?
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Why does he doing this?
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: And now suddenly in Mississippi State is latched onto him
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: and given him another round of their fame.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Apparently do they love him here? What's the I think
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: most people found him quite annoying, That's what I thought.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think at first it was fun and then
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: it was like, really, we're doing this again.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Again in your dixie cup outfit.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: You gotta give. I'll give him this your relentless broccoli. Yeah,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I'll say that about you.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: I wonder how many other markets he's tested it in
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: before it worked at Mississippi State.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I wonder how many vegetables he went through like the
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have got the same reaction to celery guy.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: That's probably true. Yeah, that's just awkward fingers. That's what
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: it looks like.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: It's weird, and I did go for a bit thinking
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: it was another dude. Actually chokes would be kind of fun.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: And as I was writing that, though, I wrote the
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: same lack of rhythm, and then I realized, Man, rhythm
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: is a very hard word to spell.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: I don't think I spell it right.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Ever, not a single vowel. Yeah that one?
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Well why is an optional vowel? Right?
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but I think they I think the old
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Why family would be problem. Why is for East?
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, that's where Why is for East? We
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: need more of that.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: But yeah, rhythm very hard word to spell. So I
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: would like to ask all the piggyback haters, which would
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: you rather have another round of broccoli guy or another
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: round of piggy.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Oh god, something to think about.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: Good news, though, you are going to get another round
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: of piggyback because three point zeros happening this weekend and
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: there are a lot of people who are undoubtedly erroneously
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: angry about that. Side note, erroneously is actually an easier
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: word to spell than rhythm. I don't know if I
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: used it correctly, but easier word to spell.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Are they so angry?
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know, And I just can't wait to hear
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: all the anger Sunday? Right, we're doing piggy on Sunday?
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, when Bryce Miller and Luis Castillo no hit the
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Diamondbacks on Sunday, We're going to come in on Monday
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: and talk about how Jerry Depoto.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Messed up the piggyback.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: We are an unseerious organization speaking of your nun games
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: back first place Mariners are back home this weekend to
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: hosts of the Diamondbacks, and aside from the fact that
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: we're looking to get first year, we're also looking to
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: get above five hundred goals.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Speaking a firsty, let me have another sypath.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: I am firsty, and i'd like to say, since we've
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: been talking a little bit about spelling, congrats to fourteen
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: year old Shrey Peric, an eighth grader from Rancho Cucamunga.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: He secured the victory in the Scripts Spelling Bee by
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: spelling a record shattering thirty two words in ninety seconds
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: during a tie breaking spell off against runner up Ishan Gupta.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Did you see it?
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: I did not see it. Was it insane.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I can't even believe it. I mean it was just
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, these are the hardest words that they have
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: at the very end. Yeah, and they were just going
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: one after the other and the guy couldn't give them
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: fast enough, and he was just ripping through them, like
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: go go, keep the coming crazy. I know, sometimes in
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: professional sports we'll see something we'll never see that again,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: and then it takes a long time. I mean, we
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: will eventually see somebody better than Jordan, Yeah, but it
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: takes a long time to get there. I never thought
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: that I would see somebody take spelling to a whole
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: new level. I thought I thought they'd reach.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: The zene the pinnacle already pinnacle.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like, yeah, but this guy just blows everybody
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: else out of the water. Never see anything like that.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: I did see. The winning word was bromo kryptime.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: And he just like sped spelled it.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: Also easier to spell than rhythm, by the way, Bromo kryptie.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: But you've seen them where they're like, yeah, a, what's
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: the origin of the word?
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, could you use it in a sentence?
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah? No, they just think about it. You have to spell,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: like how how you have to practice that? That's phenomenal.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: I mean I was a pretty good speller growing up.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: I'm a phenomenal speller. Also, easier to spell them rhythm.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, yeah, it's true. Is there an h what's
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: happening at the beginning?
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean as far as just an average Joe
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: that never studied spelling. I'm a pretty damn good speller,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: but it's unreal what I just witnessed from this kid.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: Shrey, cheers to you. We'll drink for you because you're
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: only fourteen.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: He's more impressive than Wimby.

  Speaker 3: Wow, doesn't have more yeast? Spell?
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, Wimby's got a lot more yeast.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.

• 41:30
  Speaker 1: do it. I wonder if kid likes my new term
• 41:32

  Speaker 1: I said, uh man, I got to go pick up
• 41:39
