  Speaker 5: And he brings it in here clean, just.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Stacks and stacks of it the studio.

• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Uh so, yeah, a lot of that today. Welcome to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the radio show we do. I mean I did have
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a certain agenda plan for today, but rarely do we
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: at six o'clock in the morning have breaking news to
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: discuss us. And this is some really juicy stuff, yeah,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: kind of disturbing stuff quite frankly, that we're going to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: start with here this morning, partly because this is very newsworthy,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: partly because I don't know when we're going to get
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: another chance throughout the course of the show today to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: kind of chew on this, so we're going to lead
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: with it here this morning.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: If you are just waking up, and.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of you are in the NBA,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I mean two days into the season, for goodness sake,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, this couldn't come at a worse time for
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, why couldn't we have done this in.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: The offseason and maybe we would have had time for
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: this to die down, but instead, as you're just coming
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: out of the gates and you're roaring and Victor winmbin
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yama has a game for the Ages last night and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: inside the NBA shined last night on the network and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the new television deal Michael Jordan debuts on NBC and
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: their new package with the NBA. This hat story breaks
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: here on this Thursday morning as two prominent members of
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the NBA, Miami heatguard Terry Rogier and even more prominent
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Portland Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billups, have both been arrested
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: this morning as part of a pair of investigations related
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to illegal gambling. Sources told ESPN's Shams Sharanya. Rogier was
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: arrested this morning at a hotel in Orlando. His team
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: just played the magic last night, and Billips was arrested
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: in Oregon as part of a separate but related illegal
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: gambling case linked to an illegal poker operation tied to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the mafia.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's something you want to be involved in.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this according to ABC News. So, I mean, it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: kind of strange that, if it's not connected, that they
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: were both arrested on the same day. But obviously the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: FBI has been looking into this, and I'm sure in
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: cooperation with the NBA, but also independently of the NBA.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the NBA has been hit kind of between
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the eyes. I don't think the FBI has got to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: warn them, Hey, this is what we're gonna do. I mean,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: if it's if it's an operation that has been ongoing.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Terry Rochier has been in the crosshairs of an investigation now,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I mean for well over a year, so he's been
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: He's already been investigated for this in the past. They
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: knew that his hands were dirty to some degree. Obviously,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: whoever was investigating this didn't think that they had enough
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: information to bring charges that they thought that they could stick.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And it's very clear now, Ashley, that they do feel
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: like they have enough information if they're busting down doors
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and arresting people in the National Basketball Association on gambling
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: related charges. And I don't think this is this is
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: just he made a bet with a bookie. No, this
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: sounds like some really serious stuff that's going down in
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the National bat Bsketball Association. And it might not stop
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: with just those two. Yes, So the NBA has to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: be braced here on the third day of operation of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a brand new year, for several names coming out here.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I would assume in the next twenty four to forty
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: eight hours, so we might be in store for quite
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the news story here that's about ready to land in
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: our laps.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the interesting part is that separate but related thing.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: I'm very intrigued to find out how these two situations
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: are related. They are going to be doing a press
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: conference at seven am our time, and all I heard
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: this morning too was be prepared to hear a lot
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: more names that you know.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that is not good.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: That is not good.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, we do operate in this world as sports
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: fans that we sort of turn a blind eye to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the possibility of this stuff. I mean we actually we
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: know that it exists. We know that some people are
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: probably dabbling. We hope that there is enough of a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: filter out there that if somebody's doing more than dabbling,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that they are exposed at some point, and then we
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: sort of brace ourselves for the possibility of a story
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: like this that could make us question what.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: We've been watching for the last few years.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Tim Donneghee's story existed a few years ago and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: it's been a while now, But that's an official who
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: sort of admitted that, Yeah, some refs are on the take.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, they're there, you know that we have.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: A little bit of gambling interest out there. And then
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: they snuffed out Don again. We haven't heard him since then.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: We just got back to watching the NBA. But I
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: don't think it ever truly leaves our brains. Is there's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: something fishy going on here. And so when you actually
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: have to get the FBI involved because the NBA can't
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: police it themselves, and then they create this kind of
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a story and this kind of a stir and it
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: really does kind of hit home as sports fans like
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: like how much of this goes on? Should I be
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: investing that much in it?
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: And truly like you know what have we been.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Watching all of this time? That makes you feel good
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: about being a.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Sports fan for goodness sake.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: So stories like this and look, they make this too
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: easy and that's the bottom line, the gambling part.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about the Terry Rogier story, like here's
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: here's the background on this, and they've known this since
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three that he was in a game playing
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: for the Charlotte Hornets at the time against the New
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Orleans Pelicans and right before the game started, a big
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: surge of bets came in thirty wagers and forty six
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: minutes from a professional better totaling thirteen seven hundred and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: fifty nine dollars. And it came in on the under
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: that night for Rochier's points. Yeah, okay, so that.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Was the fight.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And this was back in twenty twenty three. It's twenty
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: twenty five. This is two and a half years later
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: that they had to, you know, go around, investigate and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: get enough information to make it stick to actually arrest
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Terry Rochier. This isn't just the NBA.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: Hey, buddy, hold on, something did happen in twenty twenty three.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you may have been getting in with the wrong
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: people and we need to protect you. No, no, no, no,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: this is the FBI saying Terry Rogier is the wrong person. Okay,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: he's the wrong people. He's part of the wrong people.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And so think about.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: That though, because didn't he get injured or leave the game?
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he left the game faking an injury. I mean
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: this is what we read into it. Now, long before
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: he could ever each the points, rebounds, assist totals that
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: he was going to get for that game. So think
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: about how easy that is for a player to do.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, and think about how we now, because of this,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: at least for the foreseeable future, are going to question
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: every single person that leaves a game injured.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, And that's why the NBA can't stand in the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: way of this, get rid of everybody that is linked
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to it.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: And I'm not even kidding. No, this is not wrisk
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: slapping time.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: This is where the NBA has just got to let
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the people who do this for a living do what
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: they gotta do, set an example for everybody else so
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: that they can convince their fan base that we are
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: going to run a clean operation. And obviously there are
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: entities out there that are difficult to control, and we
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: can't monitor every single player, every single employee as closely
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: as we want to and don't want to, and so
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: these things are going to happen. But when they happen,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: when it does get exposed, boy, we aren't gonna just
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: sit around.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is where you come in.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: And like Terry Rogier will never play in the NBA again,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Chauncey Phillips will never coach in the NBA again, and
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: whoever else comes out on this list, and I don't
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: care how good a player they are either.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, baseball had.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: To do it once upon a time with shoeless Joe Jackson,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and that was as good a player as they had
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball at that time. And this is
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: where you just come in and you've got to swing
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: heavy acts here and just cut all of these people
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: from your league so that you can assure the rest
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: of your fan base that we've cut it out, we've
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: cut the cancer out, and we've sent such a strong
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: message that you don't have to worry anymore about what
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: you're watching and whether it's on the up and up,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: because nobody is gonna make that same mistake knowing what
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the consequences are.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah. No, and I agree.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's not like these guys were sitting around
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: playing in little poker games in the locker room before
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: a game. We're doing something after a game with their teammates,
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: like something. You know, Chuncy Phillips was doing something involved
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: with the Mafia, and then somehow that is related to
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: whatever Terry Rozier was doing, and you would assume then
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: something with sports betting and probably the Mafia involved. I
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: don't know, but this isn't like some small time thing
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: that these guys were just sitting around, you know, making
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: bets with each other.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, this isn't like an office pool, right exactly, Like
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: this is some serious you know what, and it's just
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: to have it coming out this morning, and just you know,
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: there's limited information.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna be very intrigued to hear what the what
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: the FBI has to say.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I think we yeah, I think we all are intrigued.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: And who else is gonna get listed in all of
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: this and what other names are going to be joined?
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: But honestly, like we.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Have opened this thing up so broad, why is there
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: even the ability to bet on Terry Rogier's assists for
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that night? Why is there even that ability out there?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And look, I'm not sure trying to squash.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: You know, daily the daily wager? Yeah, I mean, I don't.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: It doesn't affect me, It doesn't bother me.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: It obviously increases people's interests in sports, which is why
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the NBA and now even Major League Baseball and everybody
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: is embracing this because it does create interest. It does
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: create a completely different type of fan base. And man,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: people can put a five dollars wager down on whether
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: show a Otani is gonna have more than one and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a half total bases tonight and they're gonna go watch
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, They're gonna watch all three hours of
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: that game, or at least until Otani hits a double
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: yeah and gets them their payday. And so, you know,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: just like we do. I always joke about with fantasy football.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, we have Thursday Night Football because the NFL
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: knows fantasy football players if they have the kicker going tonight,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: which by the way, I do, Yes, if you have
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the kicker going tonight, that they're people are going to
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: watch that wouldn't normally watch for three hours to see
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: if Will Reiker can kick three field goals tonight for
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: them and help them win in their fantasy league. So
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: so I'm not I'm not trying to like squash the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: daily prop bets businesses that have popped up. I just
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: think that maybe maybe we need to stop making so
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: many of them. Yeah, I mean, well, because you're making
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: it so easy for players to do it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, who's even gonna blink?
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: And I if Terry Rochier finishes the game with two
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: assists or three assists, maybe you're not even gonna notice
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: if he didn't deliver that pass. To the wide open
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: teammate under the basket because he knew what his prop
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: bet was and so he's just gonna dribble out the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: clock and oh man, I didn't see you, and just
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: play it off that way.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: It is, it is.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: It just is a minefield out there that we've created
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to make it so easy for individual players to perhaps
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: kick a bet. Somewhere along the line, I think maybe
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: we need to curb that.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Well, no, I would agree.
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: I mean it's interesting because we'll look, you know, to
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: make our picks and bets for factor fiction, and you
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: have to scroll through ninety five prop bets at times
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: of individual things. It's like there's so much more involved
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: in a game to bet on than just the score.
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: I mean, isn't necessary.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: It is not, It isn't necessary.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: And the fact that we've let it go to that
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: specific that you could even bet on Terry Rochier's assists, Yeah,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I mean that is something to me that the NBA
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: should separate itself from. Yeah, Like, I'm not saying don't
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: have daily prop bet services and companies. What I'm saying
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: is the NBA, Major League Baseball, the NFL, they should
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: all get together because they all have to work hand
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: in hand and say we're going either trim down what
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: you make available to a far less, far less extent,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: or we're going to separate ourselves from you. I mean,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: you control what what they do. You know, DraftKings, you,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: if you're the NBA, the NFL, Major League Baseball, and
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: you work hand in hand, you own them. They depend
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: on you, so you can call the shots. And so
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: if you could just reduce it, but if you all yeah,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: if you go, oh, I mean one of them goes in.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: But if all of them go and forget about it,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't have any choice. But look how easy we
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: make it. And then you have these offshore betting places.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, we talk about it all the time, but
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and and we sort of say it jokingly, but honestly,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: what is keeping the third cousin from Bad Bunny from
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: finding out what the stop set is for his half
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: time show and placing everything that they own on how
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: long the set will last, or which song will be
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: played first, or which song will be played seven?
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: This is how specific that we've gotten with this.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Or how long the national anthem will be?
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, how honestly, like you didn't think that
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: this was going to be taken advantage of. You didn't
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: think that individual players, even head coaches, weren't going to
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: take advantage of easy money. And that's what we've created.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: And so I'm not saying get rid of any of
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: those things. I'm saying there are enough daily prop bets
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: that you don't need to post. How many assists Terry
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Rogier is going to have in the first half.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: We don't.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: We should never be able to gamble on that. Ever,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: be able to gamble on that. Now, do you want
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: to bet that is Wimby going to score twenty five
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: points or more tonight?
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: That's fine, Yeah, exactly if it's something that's yeah, I
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: think that would show the success.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: But every individual player, on every individual roster that gets
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: any amount of significant playing time that has a gambling
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: number attributed to them that night, and you think you're
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: going to be able to monitor all of that and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: not have suspicious activity pop up. That's insane and so
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: shame on the NBA forever allowing it to happen, Shame
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: on the NFL forever allowing to happen. And I don't
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: care if we find out tonight that it's you know,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Djokich who I love is the main culprit in all
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: of it and runs the entire operation and goes to
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: prison for the rest of his life. Shame on the
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: shame on our leagues for letting this get out of control.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: And so I hope it is a giant mess tonight.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I really do.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I hope that it turns into a major story where
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: major players are are called out for it and that
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: and now our leagues can start putting their arms around
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: this and fix it, because this story is going to
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: make us question every single injury going forward in every
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: single sport for a while, for a little while, not forever.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: We'll get over it because we love sports too much.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: But this is gonna make us question everything. And so
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: the NBA has just got to let the FBI.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Do its thing.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: You need to put a red letter on every single
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: person that's involved in it and get them out of
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: the sport.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: That's what has to happen today.
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, exactly. And I mean as a coach, to
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: think about what you could do. If there's you could
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: put a player on maintenance, right who is expected to
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: get over under a certain point, you could I mean,
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: there's so many things that are involved in it easy.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: It is a fake, a foot injury, exactly, all of it,
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: like it's just your Your whole entire league is going
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: to be questioned if you don't take this absolutely seriously.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: And luckily right now the FBI is involved, so it's
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: impossible to not take it.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: That's right, that's.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Right, And so I'm sure Adam Silver's brace for some
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: really hard times here going forward, but this could be
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: a good thing. Let it happen, yep. And then this
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: sets an example for everybody else in the league and
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: for a while, I don't think you'll have to worry
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: about it. But it also will give you a chance
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: to assess why are we letting this happen? To begin with,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: we are partner, We have advertisers, you know, DraftKings depends
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: on the NBA, not the way other way around, and
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: so we should be able to control what they make
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: available to bed On going forward.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: All right, let's find out what's on tap for the
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: rest of the show.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: What's on TEP?
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: What's on TEP?
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh, did Wemby dominate last night? There's no
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: faking that. Forty points, fifteen rebounds, three block shots and
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: no turnovers. It's only I think the sixth time it's
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: happened in NBA history that that stat line has been
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: put up. Unbelievable. We'll talk about it a little bit
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: later on this hour. Cracking are going to be at
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Winnipeg five pm. They're going to drop the puck on
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: that one. So Cracking versus Winnipeg five pm tonight as
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the Crack and continue their road trip.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: They could use a win tonight.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Sounders will be starting their playoffs Monday against Minnesota United.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: That match will start at six o'clock. We'll have time
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to talk about it tomorrow and Friday. Here on the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: next Monday on the radio program Thursday Night Football. Tonight,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: it'll be the Vikings at the Chargers. Mike Sando will
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: join us today at nine to thirty. Jayden Daniels is
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: out this weekend for the Washington Commanders. Lamar Jackson practiced
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: yesterday so he might be in this weekend for the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens and it might affect my factor. Fiction pick
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: today at seven thirty five, so we'll do that at
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: seven thirty five. Seahawks are on buy, but we haven't
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: had a twelve man roundtable in three weeks, so we
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: are going to unite Greg Bell and Hugh Millan again
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: today from eight to nine, and we will discuss the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Seahawks and everything that we haven't discussed the last couple
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: of weeks. Husky's in action Saturday at home against Illinois.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Softy joins us today at seven oh five to discuss it,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and of course everyone still has Mariners on the brain,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: so we will have several segments today trying to make
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: sense of everything with the Seattle Mariners organization, including the
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: ABC's of the MS, which are going to come your
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: way next on Chuck and Buck Sports Radio ninety three
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: point three KJRFM. Good because there are a couple of
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: things that I kind of want to get off my
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: chest about the Mariners, and he has just gotten in
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the way.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Of that the last couple of days.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: So the ABC's of the MS will allow us to
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: talk freely here you and I Ashley with our listening
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: audience here today. And Q is four questionable, which I
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: do think at the very minimum, Dan Wilson had some
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: questionable calls, not just during the playoffs, not just in
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Game seven, but throughout the course of the season. But
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: every manager does, there's no doubt about it. And I
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: would just say this, you know, because Bucky's had Dan's
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: back all season long, postseason, even yesterday. Now, he did
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: say that he would have kept Brian Who over Bizardo.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: But Bucky's point was he didn't have a problem with
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Bizardo getting the call in that situation where a lot
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: of people did. And I really I not only respect
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Bucky's opinion, but I also respect that he's sticking to
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: his guns on even though everybody's saying. I remember when
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Mark James started and he went in immediately on Geno Smith,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: not realizing that really none of us at KJR were
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: sold on Geno Smith. We were all lukewarm at best
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: on Geno Smith. Mark thought he had a really original
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: take and he didn't. But I remember Christopher Kidd was
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: on Gino Smith, and I pulled Kid aside as the
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: veteran of this business, and I said, hey, I don't
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: agree with your take on Gino, but I'm glad that
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: you have your take on Geno, and I think you
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: need to support it because there are a lot of
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Geno supporters out there and they want to have their
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: side of the story heard, and there aren't any here
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: at the station. Any guys that really like Geno. So
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: if you like it, don't make it up. No, I
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: don't want you to pretend just to be on the
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: other side of things. But hold your ground because it's
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: going to make you stand out. So I kind of
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: feel the same way about Bucky. Everybody's kind of bagging
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: on Dan, and Bucky continues to defend Dan. I think
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't as far as saying he thought Dan had
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: an excellent year this year.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: I never did. I never did.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I thought when we did our letter grades at the
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: end of the year, I think I gave him a
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: C minus when we started our when we did our
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: ranking how confident we were at certain areas. Of the Mariners,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: that was the least confident, I think I gave him
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: a three on a scale from one to ten. I
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: felt that he was a little bit outmatched by aj
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Hinch and the Tiger series, even though it was aj
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Hinch's managerial decision that might have cost the Tigers beating
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: us and John Schneider I thought made some gaffes in
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: our series as well. So I don't think that Dan
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: had a terrible postseason. I don't think that the decisions
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: that he made. I think that the last one, the
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: one that we're talking about the most, was the most
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: questionable one of the entire time. But I do understand
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: that there's merits to all of the decisions that he made,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: and there were reasons behind all of them. I would
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: have done a lot of things differently, especially with the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: pitching decisions that were made throughout the postseason, including right
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: from jump. That was not the starting rotation that I
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: would have used against the Tigers when you had a
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: week off to set your rotation.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: So there is a lot I question.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I think there is a lot questionable, and I think
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: that going into this offseason, I don't think it's out
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: of the question that we might have a new manager
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of next year.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Actually, one of.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: The things that I think Dan Wilson said, if I'm
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: going to take this job, I'm not going to be
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: micro managed.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I'm going to make the decisions.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: And they just tabbed Dan as somebody that was a
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: great candidate any for being a manager, great temperament, already
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: had the respect of the players, bright guy always we're
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: going to have the players backs, which he did all
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: season long. Was going to be able to create a
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: good environment in the clubhouse, which I think he did.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I think a manager more manages the players and their
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: personalities more so, and he does make an impact with
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: game decisions. And I think Dan was probably good at
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: all of those manager things. But his game decisions I
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: thought were questionable all season long. So did a lot
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: of people. And I was worried Ashley that when he
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: got to the postseason that it could end up being
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: a problem, and I do now that I get further
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: and further away from it, I feel like it was
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: a bigger problem the more I think about it, and
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: certainly the decision to go to Bizarre to we're going
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: to debate for years.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's going to be.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's the last memory we're left with really,
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: as we were so close to the World Series to
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: think about, like what could have been if you would
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: have left in brian Wu.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Does that happen?
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: But and that's normal I think for any sports fan.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: I had a lot of questions. But then I also
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: have kind of taken it back and thought to myself, well,
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: if you left in brian Wu and he gives up
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: that home run, your question for leaving in brian Wu?
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's yeah, you're gonna get question either no matter.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: What you do right.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: And it is interesting because you said, you know, nowadays
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: the the manager is really you're more about the players
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: and the personalities and the things like that and not
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: the game decision. So then I wonder how many of
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: those questionable game decisions were actually Dan Wilson decisions or
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: part of the plan that the team had come up with.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Well, to me, that was the problem.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I think they had a strategy, and I think that
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Dan didn't adjust to the situation in a pivotal game. Yeah,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: he never managed the game seven before. I think he
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: had a fine strategy, which we've discussed numerous times. I
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: think he was planning on going George Kirby two times
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: through the lineup. If he got in any trouble, I'm
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: going to Gabe Spier to get him out, because relief
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: pitchers are used to coming in with guys on base.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Then I think he was going to go for Brian
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: wu for one time through the lineup, and if he
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: was on a roll, he was going to stick with
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: him for three full innings, and if not, he had
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Bizardo to back him up, and that's who he was
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: going to bring up because Bizardo's been good with guys
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: in scoring position or on base when he inherited runners.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: And then I think he was going to go Munnos
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: for two full innings as he was well rested, and if.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: He got in any trouble. Matt Brash is.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: The guy that has closed out games. He's the only
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: other one. Yeah, so we're gonna go to Matt Brash
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: in that situation if Munjos gets into trouble. I think
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: that was the strategy, and I think that's a fine strategy.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I think that's a really interesting strategy. But part of
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: being a manager is things happen in a game. The
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: timing is off, and you got to make decisions.
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: We can't call Jerry and Justin and say, what do
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: the analytics tell us?
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to be two three steps ahead of
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: this sucker. And when you saw Springer and Guerrero do
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: up fourth and sixth, yeah, and that seventh inning, and
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: it never crossed your mind to get at least two
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: guys up in the pen and maybe your best reliever,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: you're all star reliever up because this might be the
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: last time we have to face these two guys, and
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: they're the only two guys that we truly fear in
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: the lineup. How you don't have your best available to
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: go at their best for one final time in the series.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I can find somebody else to close out a game
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: against the bottom.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Of the order.
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean you had Castillo and Miller available to.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: You had Castillo and Miller available to Randy Johnson once
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: closed out a World Series getting.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: A save for the Diamondbacks for goodness sake.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: So to me, that's the thing that I think was
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: the problem with Dan all season long, all postseason long,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and certainly in the most important moment, the elimination moment
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: in essence of the season is I think that the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: game moved too fast for him. And sometimes you can
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: make up for that. Joe Tory was not a great
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: X AS and Os guy.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: He just wasn't.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: But he was a master at managing player personalities, getting
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the most out of individual players. My goodness, he turned
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Felix Jose into an All Star back in his days
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: in Saint Louis. And you don't know that reference that
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: you out there listening, but trust me, that's a miracle.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: And so but man, when he got to the Yankees,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: he had Don Zimmer, smart, little Yoda don Zimmer sitting
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: next to him the entire time. Don didn't have the
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: chops to be a manager. He didn't want to deal
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: with the media, he didn't want to deal with the personalities.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: He just wanted to be the fun, loving to But
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: when it came to game decisions, he had Yoda sitting
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: next to him telling him, all right, you know, being
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: two three steps ahead. So maybe it's not a situation
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: where Dan needs to be micro managed. We've seen Jerry
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: and Justin do it in the past. I don't think
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: they're very good at it. But maybe he needs a
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: better right hand man. Maybe maybe we need a don Zimmer,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: somebody that's been there, done that before that maybe doesn't
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: want to deal with the media every day, but can
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: sit there next to Dan and tell him, all right,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: this is coming up.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we got to think about this.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: We got to think about this. Yeah.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: And and really maybe that's the solution to it, because Dan,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: after winning a division probably shouldn't be fired. But I
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: don't want to go through this again next postseason. I
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: don't want a manager that's slow on the draw next postseason.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: No, And I do think that our hope, I guess
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: Hope that a lot of that had to do with
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: the fact that he's a first year manager and you know,
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: you're adjusting your learning things as you go, and especially
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: in playoffs. I mean, you've not not been there, so
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: how are you going to know?
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: Necessarily?
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: But they I think the organization could have been better
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: prepared for that to have him assisted in that situation.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to say this because I
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: just really liked the guy a lot, But Manny Acta
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be that guy. What has Manny act
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: approved as a manager in postseason baseball?
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: He might not be the right guy.
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So I'm not in the right position there maybe.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So anyway, it's going to be debated for a
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: long time. We're gonna talk more about it a little
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: bit later on in the show today because Bucky's not
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: here and it really gives me freedom.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: All right, coming up next. Man, it was a.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Game for the ages, and it happened on day number
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: two of the NBA season. Sports Radio ninety three point
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: three KJRFM. Our basketball imaginations lively died epactically by when Byama.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Like Clint against your dad in this driveway when you're
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: eight years old, what do you do?
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Unicorn really doesn't sit down and watch sports with me anymore,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: but she, for whatever, we went out to dinner last night,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: so maybe she fell close to me. So she sat
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: down and watched a little bit of this last night,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: and she was like, what am I seeing?
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: What is going on out here?
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I why does he look so great and yet so
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: awkward at the same time.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's like one of those like things outside of
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: car dealership.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. And then finally she goes, how tall is he?
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: I go seven five yeah, and she goes, that now
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: makes sense.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: You couldn't tell that he was like monstrously taller than
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: everybody else, like the two of everyone else. And then
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: he has twice the arm length of everybody else, and
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: yet he handles the ball like a point guard all
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, and he doesn't have to jump to
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: do a reverse dunk.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: And then on top of it, he's obviously developed some skill.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Victor Woman put the league on blast yesterday. He's put
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: on some weight. Apparently he's grown an inch.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: In the offseason.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Crazy, and he looked unstoppable last night. That was against
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: two of the best big men defenders in the entire sport,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: and he still scored forty points, fifteen rebounds, three block
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: shots and did not turn.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: The ball over. That's the night that Victor winbin Yama
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: had left.
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: I think the no turnovers is the crazy part, because
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: being seven to five and having those long arms, you
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: would think there's going to be some awkward moments, and
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: he doesn't seem to have them. And he makes every
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: other NBA player who are all huge, look like normal
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: sized people.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: And he was handling the ball so much more than
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: we were. I mean, he was going between the legs,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: he was doing crossover dribbles, he was starting the offense
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: from the top of the key and driving into the
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: lane and still didn't boot a single ball off of
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: his thirty foot shoes and.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: His bony ass long knees.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I it, it's crazy the game that he had, and
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: it would be one thing for the NBA to celebrate
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: last night if not for today's story. So inside, the
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: NBA also debuted last night. They were on their game.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I mean they were so excited about being in a
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: different not even a different studio because it's the same studio.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Like they joked about how everything is the same. Nothing's
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: really changed, but you could tell they were ramped up
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit. They were talking over each other more.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Than what they normally do.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: But as the night settled in, Man, that's the best
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Kenny Smith's ever been. He was actually hilarious last night. Wow,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: they all were. And so a great, great evening for
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: the NBA. And I am curious, Ashley with in light
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: of this news that broke this morning about a now
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: a gambling scandal that's leading to the arrests of players
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: and head coaches. Here this morning in the inside the NBA,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: even though TNT had a broadcast deal, what made them
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: must watch is that they never held back. They never
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: pulled any punches. That is the opposite of the way
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: ESPN operates. So now that inside the NBA's married to them,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: I'm curious to see if they put shackles on them
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: tonight or if they just let them rip.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think I will say, as much as
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: ESPN does like to tame its people and tell people,
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: you know, we don't want this, they've got Pat McAfee
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: on there now and he's not really tell Steve Smith
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: Steven A.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Smith.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So I would say I they'd be I would
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: hope not because they'd be doing themselves a massive disservice
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: because I think so many people are going to be
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: tuning in tonight just here.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah what those guys have to say?
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're right.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I mean there are examples of guys that get to
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: kind of shoot from the hip, There's no question about it.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: But yeah, when you're are you are they going to
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: allow them to shoot from the hip against somebody they
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: just got a brand new television deal with and that
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: they are heavily invested in.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: It's a great question. Is Adam Silver.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Gonna call and say, Hey, tell those guys to be
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: easy on me tonight. I don't know if today's the
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: day to be easy on the end in light of
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: this controversy and this scandal that's that's coming out. So
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: we'll see how it unfolds. But man, that might have
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: been it, Adam. Thatdam might have been your golden moment
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: last night.
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: Congratulations, soak it in.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Wimby.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Yep, he's as good as you think he is. And yes,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: the inside the NBA guys are still hilarious.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Now get ready for the we.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: Got We got a text that was like, the NBA
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: needs a distraction. How about expansion.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go, there you go. That's perfect, all right.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, Softie's gonna join us. Yeah, we're gonna
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: talk some Huskies. But I have a feeling that Softie
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: still only has one thing on his mind. Sports Radio
