Chuck & Buck 3-31 Hour 2: Headlines and breaking news! Is Sean McVay being petty? The ABS steals headlines again and the massive semifinal matchup. · Chuck in the Morning

0:04
Speaker 1: Broke it back. This is dumping din basitting Randy around
0:09
Speaker 1: third and he crossed his home plate. Broke it bat
0:13
Speaker 1: RBI ribbing that time from Cole Young. Yeah, the Mariners
0:17
Speaker 1: are on the board. It's one it up. Hey, good morning,
0:22
Speaker 1: it's a Tuesday. It is Chuck powllin Ashley Ryan with
0:25
Speaker 1: you know, Bucky Jacobson today and so we got you
0:28
Speaker 1: till ten o'clock this morning, and we already had a
0:31
Speaker 1: full docket, and now we've got even more things to discuss.
0:35
Speaker 1: First and foremost, let me handle what you just heard.
0:38
Speaker 1: That was a highlight of Cole Young with three hits
0:40
Speaker 1: last night, part of a two to one win for
0:42
Speaker 1: the Mariners over the New York Yankees. Cal Raley with
0:45
Speaker 1: a walk off RBI game winning hit in the bottom
0:48
Speaker 1: of the ninth, which resulted in him having a bucket
0:51
Speaker 1: of gum put on his head.
0:53
Speaker 2: It's the cutest.
0:54
Speaker 1: So Marener's off to a three and two start. They'll
0:57
Speaker 1: take on the New York Yankees again tonight to try
0:59
Speaker 1: to make it three wins in a row. It'll be
1:02
Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert versus Max Freed. That is your all star
1:06
Speaker 1: pitching matchup. More on your headlines in a moment. But
1:10
Speaker 1: we've got breaking news people, all right, this is gonna
1:25
Speaker 1: take a little while to discuss here. This is really
1:28
Speaker 1: fascinating on a lot of levels. But the Mariners have
1:32
Speaker 1: signed Colt Emerson. They're twenty year old number one prospect
1:36
Speaker 1: who has yet to debut at the major league baseball
1:39
Speaker 1: level and is likely to at some point this year.
1:42
Speaker 1: They have signed him to a contract extension, so basically,
1:46
Speaker 1: they've bought him out of his first two years of
1:49
Speaker 1: free agency eligibility by paying him now, he has set
1:54
Speaker 1: a record for most money given to a player who's
1:57
Speaker 1: yet to make his major league debut. The contract is
2:01
Speaker 1: an eight year deal for ninety five million dollars, but
2:04
Speaker 1: then there is also a ninth year club option for
2:09
Speaker 1: the Mariners as well, and with incentives and that ninth
2:13
Speaker 1: year club option, it could go as high as one
2:15
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty million dollars for Colt Emerson. And so that,
2:20
Speaker 1: on its face is the news this morning something that
2:24
Speaker 1: they did with Evan White once upon a time, and
2:26
Speaker 1: it completely blew up in their faces. They believe Colt
2:31
Speaker 1: Emerson is can't miss. This comes on the heels of
2:34
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Brewers. Doing this with Cooper Pratt, their young
2:38
Speaker 1: prospect shortstop yesterday, very similar deal. He's yet to make
2:42
Speaker 1: his major league debut and got signed to an eight
2:44
Speaker 1: year deal yesterday. Well, the Mariners are like our prospects
2:48
Speaker 1: even better. We have even more faith in him. So
2:51
Speaker 1: we're going to give him more money, and we're going
2:53
Speaker 1: to buy out a couple of those first free agent
2:56
Speaker 1: years because we expect his price tag to be awfully
2:59
Speaker 1: hefty when he does become a free agent. And so
3:03
Speaker 1: eight years, ninety five million dollars for the yet to
3:07
Speaker 1: major league debut Colt Emerson.
3:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Ryan Dinvish even just confirmed it, saying it
3:11
Speaker 3: is pending a physical.
3:12
Speaker 2: But I think they're pretty aware of it. They're all
3:15
Speaker 2: right of how physically able he is.
3:17
Speaker 3: Obviously, I think it's a great move by them to do,
3:20
Speaker 3: because you are securing him for long term now and
3:24
Speaker 3: not having to worry about when he becomes a lot
3:26
Speaker 3: more expensive. But it does make me nervous because it
3:30
Speaker 3: didn't work out last time.
3:32
Speaker 1: I think it's a different player, and I also think
3:34
Speaker 1: it's a good business when you don't run in those circles.
3:38
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what's going to happen with
3:39
Speaker 1: the collective bargaining agreement. I don't know what we're going
3:41
Speaker 1: to see. I mean, this is this you just lock
3:44
Speaker 1: him up for nine years? Yeah, I mean we might
3:46
Speaker 1: have a new collective bargaining agreement next season and there
3:49
Speaker 1: might be a salary cap for all we know going forward.
3:53
Speaker 1: So I don't know exactly. I don't know what the
3:57
Speaker 1: behind the scenes thinking is here, obviously, but I read
4:02
Speaker 1: into this as being very Mariner's friendly. Yes, I mean
4:06
Speaker 1: I think about the rising salaries right now in Major
4:09
Speaker 1: League Baseball. Kyle Tucker's making sixty million dollars a year.
4:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, that seems ridiculous.
4:14
Speaker 1: It is ridiculous. So if cold Emerson's as good as
4:18
Speaker 1: what people think he's going to be, think about how
4:22
Speaker 1: much money he's potentially sacrificing in the first two years
4:26
Speaker 1: that he's giving up a free agency, you know, two
4:30
Speaker 1: of those years pretty much would We don't even know
4:33
Speaker 1: what inflation's going to be at that point. I mean,
4:35
Speaker 1: it was just a couple of years ago before Otani
4:37
Speaker 1: that the highest salary was thirty five million dollars.
4:41
Speaker 2: Thanks Sotani.
4:42
Speaker 1: Two years later, it's already up to sixty one for
4:44
Speaker 1: Juan Soto, Yeah, all right, And I don't even know
4:48
Speaker 1: how much Otani makes, like seventy five what does he make?
4:51
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean he's only getting paid three
4:53
Speaker 1: dollars or ninety nine cents an hour right now, but
4:56
Speaker 1: I think he actually makes like a seventy five million
4:58
Speaker 1: dollars per year salary. So he I mean that's if
5:03
Speaker 1: you're an agent, man, you your client must really want
5:07
Speaker 1: to be paid right now and have security right now
5:11
Speaker 1: to avoid something going seriously wrong. Because I think that's
5:14
Speaker 1: a major sacrifice for a guy that a lot of
5:17
Speaker 1: people think is going to be a superstar in this
5:20
Speaker 1: sport to take eight years, ninety five million dollars at
5:24
Speaker 1: this point and stretching it for a ninth year all
5:27
Speaker 1: the way into your age twenty nine season. He's only
5:29
Speaker 1: twenty right now. He'll be twenty one in July. But
5:32
Speaker 1: nine years, I mean that's damn near thirty years old.
5:35
Speaker 1: We kind of view thirty year olds as getting close
5:38
Speaker 1: to being done in this sport now, and so cold
5:42
Speaker 1: Emerson must really like the Mariners organization, yep, and must
5:48
Speaker 1: really just want to make sure that I can secure
5:50
Speaker 1: my back. I want to be rich. I don't need
5:52
Speaker 1: to be wealthy. I don't need to be the highest
5:55
Speaker 1: paid player. It's I think it's absolutely team friendly at
6:00
Speaker 1: this point because even arbitration numbers. Ashley Trek Scruball just
6:05
Speaker 1: signed a thirty this before free agent. He makes thirty
6:07
Speaker 1: two million dollars this year. That's before even reaching free agency.
6:10
Speaker 1: That's just his arbitration number. Twenty nineteen, Garrett Cole was
6:15
Speaker 1: the highest arbitration figure in history at thirteen and a half.
6:19
Speaker 1: It's only twenty twenty six in seven years that jumped
6:22
Speaker 1: from thirteen and a half to thirty two million because
6:25
Speaker 1: of all the salaries in baseball escalating at such a
6:28
Speaker 1: phenomenal rate. So even that cold Emerson's cold Emerson's probably
6:33
Speaker 1: would have made this contract before he even reached free
6:36
Speaker 1: agency through arbitration, and yet just to get paid now
6:41
Speaker 1: so he has security now he's agreed to I think
6:45
Speaker 1: a really Mariner friendly deal. I'm not criticizing anyone. I'm
6:48
Speaker 1: just giving you my observations. Take it however you will feel,
6:52
Speaker 1: you know, feel like the Mariners have done something silly
6:56
Speaker 1: again no Barry Evan White like, or maybe they've done
7:01
Speaker 1: something tremendous and it's cold Emerson and his agent that
7:04
Speaker 1: have done something silly here. But but I don't think
7:08
Speaker 1: it's good business on Emerson's part because he probably is
7:12
Speaker 1: sacrificing a lot of money down there.
7:14
Speaker 3: And I could see for sure that he would be
7:16
Speaker 3: sacrificing money. But at the same time, the amount of
7:18
Speaker 3: money he's going to make in endorsements and you know,
7:20
Speaker 3: extra things, I don't think, say, I don't think you're
7:24
Speaker 3: he's ever going to be like, gosh, I only had
7:26
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty million dollars, it's all I may.
7:29
Speaker 2: I mean, And I don't think that's all he's gonna
7:31
Speaker 2: make either.
7:31
Speaker 3: I mean, here's the thing is, they could renegotiate things,
7:35
Speaker 3: they could do all sorts of things. They've got him
7:38
Speaker 3: locked up. You never know what could happen. And I
7:41
Speaker 3: just I think good for him for a young kid.
7:43
Speaker 3: That's that's saying, you know, I appreciate what this organization
7:47
Speaker 3: has done for me and where they're taking me, and
7:50
Speaker 3: and I want to play for a contender. Probably is
7:53
Speaker 3: part of his thought process as well. And I think
7:56
Speaker 3: good for the Mariners for saying, hey, we recognize this
7:59
Speaker 3: the skill and talent and how special this kid is.
8:03
Speaker 2: And we don't want him going anywhere.
8:05
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's very clear. Yeah, but yeah, So it's
8:09
Speaker 1: eight years, ninety five million dollars with a ninth year option.
8:13
Speaker 1: So cold Emerson's pretty much pledged the prime of his
8:16
Speaker 1: career to the Seattle Mariners. And that's a great day
8:19
Speaker 1: for the Mariners. Now he looks like he's a camp miss.
8:23
Speaker 1: I mean, at least to be a good player, maybe
8:25
Speaker 1: not a superstar, but at least to be a good
8:27
Speaker 1: player and contributor. And if he ends up being the
8:30
Speaker 1: superstar that a lot of people think that he's going
8:33
Speaker 1: to be. Now you've got Emerson, Raleigh, and Julio all
8:37
Speaker 1: locked up for the next for the foreseeable future here
8:43
Speaker 1: at this stage, and so very interesting, very interesting move
8:47
Speaker 1: that we announced today. We will talk more about Colt
8:50
Speaker 1: Emerson Emerson a little bit later on in the show,
8:52
Speaker 1: but on a different level, on the level of when
8:55
Speaker 1: will he be activated by this team and more importantly,
9:00
Speaker 1: not more importantly, but also in addition to that, where
9:03
Speaker 1: on the baseball fields we'll talk about that. I was
9:05
Speaker 1: planning to talk about that. Anyway, let's get to the
9:08
Speaker 1: rest of your headlines. Mariners do win last night. They
9:10
Speaker 1: will play the Yankees again today. Kraken and the Oilers
9:14
Speaker 1: will play tonight in Edmonton. Everett Fitz you will join
9:18
Speaker 1: us to talk about that at eight thirty Final four Saturday,
9:21
Speaker 1: Michigan versus Arizona, Illinois versus Yukon in the Final four.
9:26
Speaker 1: You could hear right here on KJAR and it is
9:29
Speaker 1: draft miss Eve. By the way, I hesitate to even
9:32
Speaker 1: warn people of that, because if you hadn't done anything
9:35
Speaker 1: to prepare, you're probably panicking now at the sound of
9:38
Speaker 1: my voice. So but I think I gave you plenty
9:41
Speaker 1: of advanced warning on this. But tomorrow we do dive
9:45
Speaker 1: into the Draftmas season and the Seahawks are going to
9:49
Speaker 1: be featured this year on HBO's Hard Knocks series, a
9:52
Speaker 1: series that seemed to be on death's door, and yet
9:56
Speaker 1: I guess, in a way to hope to revive it,
10:00
Speaker 1: they've decided that we're going to scrap all of the
10:02
Speaker 1: old rules that we had for picking our team and
10:05
Speaker 1: we're just going to go with a Super Bowl champion
10:07
Speaker 1: this year. And so the Seahawks will be featured on
10:09
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks this year. Twenty twenty six.
10:12
Speaker 3: They did confirm it to the Seahawks did. They put
10:14
Speaker 3: out a tweet about forty minutes ago. It will debut
10:17
Speaker 3: August eleventh at nine pm.
10:19
Speaker 1: And finally, the NFL held its annual meeting or is
10:23
Speaker 1: holding its annual meetings as we speak, down in Phoenix, Arizona.
10:27
Speaker 1: All sorts of things they're discussing from an eighteen team
10:32
Speaker 1: eighteen game schedule to also rule changes, all sorts of
10:37
Speaker 1: things that they are discussing down there in Phoenix. But
10:39
Speaker 1: the thing that kind of stood out the Seahawks fans
10:42
Speaker 1: out there was Sean McVeigh. And yes, I realize that
10:50
Speaker 1: he was being jokey. I realized that he was kidding
10:55
Speaker 1: and trying to be funny. At least I think I
10:59
Speaker 1: realized that. And yet I do kind of wonder what's up.
11:04
Speaker 1: I mean, even though he's the head coach of a rival.
11:08
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of admiration that I have
11:10
Speaker 1: for Sean McVay. Not only do I think he's one
11:11
Speaker 1: of the best coaches in the NFL, I mean in
11:13
Speaker 1: an elite group. I also I also am amused by him.
11:18
Speaker 1: I think he's kind of a funny guy and his
11:20
Speaker 1: high intensity, which is kind of Gruden like, it does
11:25
Speaker 1: amuse me. And I think if I knew him personally,
11:28
Speaker 1: I think i'd like him, you know, I really do.
11:31
Speaker 1: So see that there's a lot of things to like
11:33
Speaker 1: about Sean McVeigh. But did we see a side yesterday that,
11:38
Speaker 1: even though he's trying to be charming and funny and
11:42
Speaker 1: you know, locker roomy with our head coach yesterday, did
11:47
Speaker 1: it come off as petty? And did it incite maybe
11:52
Speaker 1: a little bit from Mike McDonald as well, who seemed
11:55
Speaker 1: certainly to be a little turned off by it. Okay,
11:58
Speaker 1: now let me set the scene for you. So, Sean
12:00
Speaker 1: McVay has made it very clear since that second game
12:03
Speaker 1: of the year Ram Seahawks that he did not understand
12:07
Speaker 1: the two point conversion rule and that he believes that
12:10
Speaker 1: that two point conversion ruling was terrible. He went to
12:14
Speaker 1: Phoenix with the idea of trying to get rid of
12:17
Speaker 1: that play from the league, and certainly it's on the
12:22
Speaker 1: table for discussion while they're down there in Phoenix to
12:26
Speaker 1: have better clarity on whether or not if a official
12:31
Speaker 1: kind of blows the play dead, that we can use
12:34
Speaker 1: review to see if Zach Charbonay can pick up a ball,
12:40
Speaker 1: even though he thinks the play is over too and
12:43
Speaker 1: just waltz into the end zone and that can be
12:45
Speaker 1: worth two points and could theoretically tie a game, send
12:50
Speaker 1: it to overtime, and that team that suffered on the
12:53
Speaker 1: other side of it could end up losing that game
12:56
Speaker 1: home field advantage and ultimately not be world champions. Okay
13:00
Speaker 1: the lost in there. Yeah, right, So that's what Sean
13:03
Speaker 1: McVay was. He's kind of had a what's the word
13:08
Speaker 1: for it, an axe to grind. We're going to say that,
13:10
Speaker 1: there's another word for it. I was going to use,
13:12
Speaker 1: but I don't think I should use.
13:13
Speaker 2: It, thank you.
13:14
Speaker 1: He's had an axe to grind on this very issue.
13:16
Speaker 1: It's seemingly all off season, and he's used it while
13:19
Speaker 1: he's down there in Phoenix with an earshot of Mike McDonald,
13:23
Speaker 1: as what we know of, at least twice. So he
13:26
Speaker 1: interrupted his press conference and of all the McVeigh defenders
13:31
Speaker 1: are saying, jokingly interrupted Mike McDonald's press conference to ask
13:35
Speaker 1: about the two point conversion. Yeah, and he also while
13:41
Speaker 1: Hawk Bogger.
13:42
Speaker 4: And Michael, Sean Dugar and I'm sure a host of
13:46
Speaker 4: others were around the table having a session with Mike McDonald,
13:50
Speaker 4: came up in the middle of it, squeezed Mike McDonald
13:53
Speaker 4: on the shoulder and said something about it again, so
13:56
Speaker 4: we know that he's at least made two.
13:58
Speaker 1: Little offhanded shots. And then the media hoarde asked Mike
14:03
Speaker 1: McDonald at the table there, what was that all about?
14:05
Speaker 1: He goes, first time I've talked to Sean McVay since
14:08
Speaker 1: last year. So he didn't love it. He didn't think
14:12
Speaker 1: it was hilarious. If Sean McVay was trying to be funny,
14:15
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald wasn't buying it. Fine, if it adds to
14:20
Speaker 1: the rivalry, great, But I do kind of wonder, like,
14:24
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Are we just trying to
14:26
Speaker 1: be a pest? Because I get how that could be
14:29
Speaker 1: funny in the right setting, But if you're just gonna
14:32
Speaker 1: keep bringing up every time you bring it back up
14:35
Speaker 1: too our coaches faced, it becomes less and less and
14:39
Speaker 1: less funny. So what's the plan here? What's the strategy?
14:43
Speaker 1: Are you trying to get under his skin? Are you
14:46
Speaker 1: trying to become his friend? I mean, what is the
14:50
Speaker 1: mode of operation here for Sean McVay and why is
14:53
Speaker 1: he treating our coach this way? I am happy on
14:57
Speaker 1: this day to just chalk it up to, you know, Hiji,
15:00
Speaker 1: I just went on a guy's weekend at age fifty four.
15:03
Speaker 1: We still do hijinks, you know, we still Yeah, they
15:07
Speaker 1: don't get each other a hard time, still give each
15:09
Speaker 1: other a hard time. But two NFL head coaches who
15:12
Speaker 1: haven't spoken in months, and you've decided against a guy
15:16
Speaker 1: that bested you this past year, that you're going to
15:19
Speaker 1: give him a hard time about a two point play
15:21
Speaker 1: that happened in game number two of your three matchups.
15:24
Speaker 2: That he didn't call. It's not like he did.
15:27
Speaker 3: It's not like this was The Seahawks plan was, we're
15:29
Speaker 3: going to take advantage of this rule that Sean McVay
15:32
Speaker 3: nobody knows about, and we're going to take advantage of
15:35
Speaker 3: the NFL and the referees with our cunning ways.
15:38
Speaker 1: The old Zach Charbonet a confused pick up the ball
15:41
Speaker 1: and stroll unto the end zone.
15:43
Speaker 2: We're really going to get him with this one. Guys,
15:44
Speaker 2: we call it Kentucky sixty five. Yeah, it's not like
15:48
Speaker 2: that happened.
15:49
Speaker 3: So even him directing this at Mike McDonald over and over,
15:54
Speaker 3: you're directing it at the wrong person. The NFL is
15:57
Speaker 3: the one that had the rule. The refs allowed it,
16:00
Speaker 3: the NFL allowed it. Mike McDonald, yes, was the beneficiary
16:04
Speaker 3: of it. But he didn't sit out there saying fighting
16:07
Speaker 3: for it and saying, no, wait a minute, you know,
16:10
Speaker 3: this is the way it happened.
16:11
Speaker 2: This is the way the game went down, and if
16:12
Speaker 2: you have a problem with.
16:13
Speaker 3: It, change the rule, which apparently they even pulled back
16:16
Speaker 3: the things they were proposing.
16:17
Speaker 1: It's it was a strange play and let's face out
16:21
Speaker 1: a sex fans, we didn't know that that was going
16:23
Speaker 1: to stand. We didn't know that we had converted the
16:25
Speaker 1: two point conversion. But on review immediately the rules analyst
16:32
Speaker 1: that night said, that's a live ball. That is a
16:36
Speaker 1: backwards pass, that is not an incompletion, and so the
16:43
Speaker 1: rules analyst verified that's going to get overturned immediately. Right now,
16:48
Speaker 1: maybe it is a wonky rule, but it is a
16:51
Speaker 1: rule correct. So we didn't even get a break in
16:53
Speaker 1: that they just enforced the rules. We got a break
16:56
Speaker 1: from the standpoint that nobody understood that that was a
17:00
Speaker 1: backwards pass at the time that it occurred. It didn't
17:03
Speaker 1: look like it in live action, even on television. Yeah,
17:06
Speaker 1: much less on the sidelines and that Zach Sharbin, it
17:08
Speaker 1: was just trying to be polite and pick up the ball.
17:11
Speaker 1: I mean, he just did it, I think, just in case.
17:13
Speaker 1: I don't know, but yeah, all right, we caught a
17:15
Speaker 1: little bit of a break. But I'm telling you right
17:17
Speaker 1: now because this is the way I feel. Say what
17:20
Speaker 1: you want about me, criticize me, but I try to
17:23
Speaker 1: remain consistent. The last thing I ever want to be
17:26
Speaker 1: is a hypocrite. I have huge problems with officials making
17:31
Speaker 1: wonky calls or putting themselves into positions late in games.
17:37
Speaker 1: I kind of want the play to happen. I want
17:39
Speaker 1: the play to be decided on the field. If it's
17:41
Speaker 1: an obvious call, call it. But the reason that I
17:44
Speaker 1: feel that way is I don't want the I don't
17:46
Speaker 1: want some ticki tac call by an official. I don't
17:49
Speaker 1: want the official deciding the game for me late in
17:52
Speaker 1: the contest, late where there's no time to come back
17:56
Speaker 1: from that play. Do you know how much time was
17:59
Speaker 1: left on the clock when we scored that wonky two
18:01
Speaker 1: point conversion?
18:03
Speaker 2: Oh? I don't remember, but I think there.
18:04
Speaker 1: Was a lot six and a half minute.
18:06
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I don't remember it being quite
18:09
Speaker 2: a bit.
18:09
Speaker 1: The Rams had three more possessions. Yeah, three more possessions
18:15
Speaker 1: in that game. You didn't lose the game because of
18:17
Speaker 1: that two point conversion. You lost the game because in
18:21
Speaker 1: three possessions you couldn't even get into field goal range
18:24
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks defense. So I would have a lot
18:28
Speaker 1: more sympathy and understand where you're coming from if that
18:31
Speaker 1: two point conversion, even though it was the two points
18:34
Speaker 1: that forced overtime, it was ultimately the two points that
18:38
Speaker 1: led to the overtime, and then eventually the Seahawks won
18:41
Speaker 1: with another two point conversion. But if that would have
18:44
Speaker 1: happened with sixteen seconds on the clock, I get where
18:48
Speaker 1: you're coming from. Don't blink. Don't continuously blame that play
18:53
Speaker 1: on you having lost that game, because you had ample
18:57
Speaker 1: time to come back and win that. After all, it
19:01
Speaker 1: did just tie it up. It's not like it gave
19:04
Speaker 1: the Seahawks to win. They held you for three possessions,
19:08
Speaker 1: you got into field goal range and you missed one,
19:10
Speaker 1: and you had a three and out, and then you
19:12
Speaker 1: ran out of time in the fourth quarter, and then
19:16
Speaker 1: in the overtime session you got outplayed and you lost
19:19
Speaker 1: by a point. So, yeah, did we catch a break
19:23
Speaker 1: because the ball was slightly behind and that was not intended. Yeah,
19:28
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold was probably not intending to throw it behind.
19:32
Speaker 1: And if it's incomplete, at least we have a live
19:34
Speaker 1: ball and we can pick it up. But it did happen,
19:38
Speaker 1: and from that standpoint, the Seahawks caught a break, But
19:41
Speaker 1: the rule suggested that that was a live ball, and
19:46
Speaker 1: Charbonnay was the guy that picked it up and took
19:47
Speaker 1: it into the end zone two points. You had six
19:50
Speaker 1: and a half minutes to make up for that mistake.
19:52
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have sympathy for a guy that has
19:54
Speaker 1: six and a half minutes to make up for that mistake. No,
19:57
Speaker 1: I'm just it was even a mistake. I sick and
20:00
Speaker 1: a half minutes to make up for a weird play. Yeah,
20:02
Speaker 1: you had plenty of time to come back. You got
20:05
Speaker 1: the ball. Next, don't win the game and stop, you know,
20:11
Speaker 1: obsessing on a weird wonky two point conversion, and especially
20:16
Speaker 1: even if it does get you the win, even if
20:18
Speaker 1: you do win the division, don't act like going to
20:20
Speaker 1: Los Angeles in the playoffs is such a intimidating home
20:24
Speaker 1: field advantage. You probably would have whooped your ass there too.
20:28
Speaker 3: Well, and also, if you're gonna be petty about it
20:30
Speaker 3: and bitter about it, you're being petty and bitter to
20:32
Speaker 3: the wrong person, because again, Mike McDonald did not make
20:35
Speaker 3: up the rules, nor did he call the play to
20:37
Speaker 3: have the ball drop at the goal line for Zach
20:40
Speaker 3: Charbonay to pick it up.
20:41
Speaker 1: I'm sure he was being jokey, but the jokes get
20:44
Speaker 1: old with grown ass men after a while. It's not funny.
20:48
Speaker 1: So you've done it twice, you've done it twice, maybe
20:51
Speaker 1: you've done it more than that, but Mike McDonald didn't
20:53
Speaker 1: seem to be amused by it. Well, and again not
20:55
Speaker 1: in the video.
20:56
Speaker 3: Anyway, No, especially saying we haven't talked since last year.
21:00
Speaker 2: It's not really like you guys have that joking friendship.
21:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not buddies.
21:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, clearly.
21:05
Speaker 1: So if you're just trying to instigate an even bigger
21:07
Speaker 1: rivalry by saying not Super Bowl shoot up, been oars
21:11
Speaker 1: the two point concursion ghostest.
21:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's actually great, Sean mcvahan.
21:15
Speaker 3: Pressure, then bring it on, Yes, make it bigger, let's
21:18
Speaker 3: do it all right.
21:19
Speaker 1: Coming up next, the ABS Challenge system continues to be
21:23
Speaker 1: more and more fascinating. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
21:31
Speaker 1: The singer and the slaughter cumbination that slaughter sometimes can
21:34
Speaker 1: Caviero wants to challenge this. The matter is challenging the
21:38
Speaker 1: pitch and it was off the plate.
21:43
Speaker 3: Man.
21:43
Speaker 2: Let's put you on the roads to guy who's been
21:45
Speaker 2: struggling to contain.
21:49
Speaker 1: Good morning, It is Chuck and Ashley. Whether you know
21:51
Speaker 1: Bucky Jacobson here today. Yes, we got a lot of
21:55
Speaker 1: stuff going on here this morning. We've got breaking news.
21:58
Speaker 1: Cold Emerson's got a brain new contract eight years, ninety
22:02
Speaker 1: five million dollars hasn't even debuted for the Mariners. That
22:05
Speaker 1: is expected to happen this year, but they just gave
22:08
Speaker 1: him the largest contract in the history of such deals.
22:11
Speaker 1: They're not the only team that does this. The Milwaukee
22:14
Speaker 1: Brewers have now done it twice in the last three years.
22:17
Speaker 1: They did it with one of their prospects, not nearly
22:19
Speaker 1: the hyped prospect, Colt Emerson is Cooper Pratt yesterday, and
22:23
Speaker 1: the Mariners are like, hold my beer. Eight years, ninety
22:26
Speaker 1: five million dollars for Colt Emerson. And I know it
22:29
Speaker 1: seems a little sticker shocky, but when you think about that,
22:32
Speaker 1: over the course of an eight year contract, potentially a
22:35
Speaker 1: nine year contract, it's like eleven million dollars a year,
22:38
Speaker 1: ten million eleven to fifteen eleven to thirteen million dollars
22:41
Speaker 1: per season for a guy that has superstar potential, who
22:46
Speaker 1: if he were to play out the string and just
22:50
Speaker 1: play a six years of service time, would probably be
22:54
Speaker 1: making who knows, inflation wise, what is the top baseball
22:58
Speaker 1: player going to make six years from now? I mean,
23:01
Speaker 1: we've gone from thirty five to sixty one in three years.
23:07
Speaker 1: What happens when we get six seven years down the line.
23:10
Speaker 1: I mean, cold Emerson might be playing at a salary
23:13
Speaker 1: of thirteen million dollars a year when if he were
23:16
Speaker 1: to hit free agent and be as good as people
23:19
Speaker 1: think that he is, I mean, that number might be
23:21
Speaker 1: at ninety by then. I mean who knows, Yeah, definitely
23:24
Speaker 1: a lot higher than thirteen. Yeah. So I know people
23:28
Speaker 1: are kind of freaking out about it, but it seems
23:30
Speaker 1: like a really smart deal by the Mariners here to
23:33
Speaker 1: lock up Emerson. And now you got Emerson, Raleigh, and
23:35
Speaker 1: Rodriguez locked up here for damn near a decade, and
23:39
Speaker 1: that is pretty exciting. Good morning, it is Chuck and Ashley,
23:42
Speaker 1: but it wasn't what we were going to talk about here
23:44
Speaker 1: in this segment. Mariners do win last night, two to one,
23:48
Speaker 1: walk off RBI single for cal Raley wins the game.
23:51
Speaker 1: Nice to see the big dumper celebrate with his teammates
23:54
Speaker 1: last night. He's obviously off to a pretty slow start,
23:56
Speaker 1: but we are only five games into the year and
23:58
Speaker 1: maybe that hit gets him on track starting tonight. He'll
24:03
Speaker 1: be back in the lineup, no doubt tonight as you're
24:05
Speaker 1: starting catcher. But once again, the headline in Major League
24:10
Speaker 1: Baseball had to do with the umpires and the ABS
24:13
Speaker 1: challenge system. Before we even got out of the third inning,
24:17
Speaker 1: the Yankees had gone had challenged five calls by the
24:21
Speaker 1: home played umpire and got them all right, so they
24:24
Speaker 1: were five for five. Aaron Boone was angry. He was barking,
24:29
Speaker 1: that's nothing new out of him from the third base
24:32
Speaker 1: dugout and apparently we didn't see this on camera, but
24:36
Speaker 1: after that third inning there was a meeting between the
24:38
Speaker 1: home played umpire and Aaron Boone and Boone just chewed
24:41
Speaker 1: him out for you know, you can't miss that many, right.
24:45
Speaker 1: We haven't missed five in a row, what are you
24:48
Speaker 1: doing to us? And from that point forward, I don't
24:51
Speaker 1: know if it's straightened him out, but he didn't miss
24:53
Speaker 1: another one no the rest of.
24:54
Speaker 3: The game, and I was eager. I wanted more challenges
24:57
Speaker 3: because I wanted the Yankees to get one wrong.
25:00
Speaker 1: But they were five for five. And then you can
25:03
Speaker 1: look at the face of the umpire and he was mortified.
25:06
Speaker 1: I mean you could see it through his mask, for
25:08
Speaker 1: goodness sake, and certainly they caught glimpses of him the
25:11
Speaker 1: camera when he took off his mask, and he's like
25:14
Speaker 1: wiping the sweat from his head on a night where
25:16
Speaker 1: it's only forty degrees and he's wiping the sweat, So
25:20
Speaker 1: I mean they're feeling it. We're gonna have Geene Sterotre
25:23
Speaker 1: on today at eight o'clock and I'm and one of
25:25
Speaker 1: the main reasons we're having him on, even though he's
25:27
Speaker 1: never been a Major League Baseball umpire, I want to
25:30
Speaker 1: ask him about how difficult it would be to never
25:33
Speaker 1: having anything questioned, never having to answer for any of
25:37
Speaker 1: your miscues, and now all of a sudden you are
25:41
Speaker 1: absolutely on blast by the sport that you're involved in.
25:47
Speaker 1: These umpires have never had to deal with this. I
25:49
Speaker 1: wonder how they're going to operate Ashley under the string.
25:51
Speaker 1: I'm actually stunned that he got better after that. I
25:56
Speaker 1: figured it was gonna take him completely off his game
25:59
Speaker 1: and then he would just stop calling balls and just
26:02
Speaker 1: start start excuse me, stop calling strikes and just call everything.
26:05
Speaker 1: I didn't know how he was going to handle it.
26:07
Speaker 1: But you can see that we already get yelled at
26:11
Speaker 1: for a living. Now we make a good living, but
26:14
Speaker 1: part of that is that we get yelled at by strangers.
26:17
Speaker 1: We get managers, grown men yelling in our faces over
26:21
Speaker 1: our mistakes. And now we are going to have a
26:25
Speaker 1: system that overrules our decisions, and the entire everybody in
26:31
Speaker 1: the building, everybody watching at home knows that we are
26:34
Speaker 1: screwing up what we do for a living. Yeah.
26:37
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think I'd do well with that
26:38
Speaker 3: because I'd be overthinking everything after that, just just in knowing. Okay,
26:42
Speaker 3: I just lost. I just was incorrect on five and
26:46
Speaker 3: one inning. Five pitches in one inning. I would come
26:49
Speaker 3: the fourth inning and I'd be like strike stall, Yeah,
26:58
Speaker 3: exactly like Bike.
27:01
Speaker 2: I'd look at someone else and be like, what do
27:03
Speaker 2: you think?
27:06
Speaker 1: Uh?
27:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
27:11
Speaker 3: I would not be okay to go out there and
27:13
Speaker 3: continue to do it with conviction and believe in the
27:16
Speaker 3: calls that I was making. And I know that some
27:19
Speaker 3: of those pitches, especially, I think there was I think
27:21
Speaker 3: the majority of those pitches were the low down, you know,
27:25
Speaker 3: down the middle, but low just below the strike zone.
27:28
Speaker 3: I understand that's a hard area for an umpire to
27:30
Speaker 3: call a ball or a strike because.
27:32
Speaker 1: Especially with Luis Castillo pitching right, I mean, the ball
27:34
Speaker 1: moves everywhere.
27:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so you're and and you're up here behind,
27:38
Speaker 3: I mean you're not. You don't have the best angle
27:40
Speaker 3: when anything's low and down and down the middle.
27:43
Speaker 2: I understand that.
27:44
Speaker 1: And Stanton's call missed by an eyelash year didn't even
27:48
Speaker 1: look like there was any space in there. You would
27:50
Speaker 1: have to use like a you know, a Hubble telescope
27:53
Speaker 1: to find space in between that ball and the strike zone.
27:56
Speaker 1: And so he missed that one. And and so I'm look,
27:59
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend a segment defending him in
28:03
Speaker 1: any way. I would just say that job's not easy.
28:07
Speaker 1: Luis Castill makes it even harder. And now it's going
28:10
Speaker 1: to be even more challenging for guys like Mike Esterbrook,
28:13
Speaker 1: who was behind the plate last night, because now you're
28:16
Speaker 1: going to have the pressure of everybody knowing every time,
28:19
Speaker 1: not every time, but a lot of the times where
28:22
Speaker 1: you screwed up. I mean, Julio could have challenged something
28:24
Speaker 1: late and he didn't do it for whatever reason, and
28:26
Speaker 1: he should have. But yes, I mean, this is bringing
28:30
Speaker 1: a whole new element to the game of baseball and
28:33
Speaker 1: has just made the umpire's jobs a lot harder. The
28:36
Speaker 1: only thing that I can say to them, though, is
28:38
Speaker 1: what's the alternative? I mean, if you squawk and number one,
28:44
Speaker 1: if you're exposed for being as bad as what a
28:46
Speaker 1: lot of fans think you are, to miss five calls
28:49
Speaker 1: in a row in essence, and then you squawk about
28:53
Speaker 1: it and claim that it's unfair. I mean you have
28:56
Speaker 1: to know you're one or two steps from being removed entirely.
29:00
Speaker 1: I mean, we have instantaneous ball strike capability. That's very obvious.
29:05
Speaker 1: We don't really need you. Yeah, And in terms of bases,
29:09
Speaker 1: all we got to do is rule. It just needs
29:12
Speaker 1: to be you know, when they there's a close play
29:15
Speaker 1: at second, it has to be indefensible, like you have
29:19
Speaker 1: to be. It has to be so clear and obvious.
29:22
Speaker 1: All you got to do is take that away and
29:25
Speaker 1: just say, Okay, we're going to go on calls to
29:29
Speaker 1: the big sky, and they're just going to tell us
29:31
Speaker 1: what the right call is. Right now, we're not We're
29:34
Speaker 1: two steps away from not having umpires at all. So
29:38
Speaker 1: they've got to play ball with this, otherwise they lose
29:41
Speaker 1: their jobs entirely. So you've gone from having the most
29:44
Speaker 1: the most job security for whatever reason, the most job
29:48
Speaker 1: security in the entire universe, to suddenly like your difficult
29:55
Speaker 1: job is more difficult than ever and we're watching you
30:01
Speaker 1: for every mistake you make. We're going to embarrass you,
30:05
Speaker 1: possibly for innings at a time you can't really argue
30:10
Speaker 1: and defend yourself because the numbers just said you went
30:13
Speaker 1: zero for five. What is your defense against that? And
30:17
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to deal with the stress of people
30:20
Speaker 1: now knowing statistically whether or not you're good at what
30:23
Speaker 1: you do or not. That's a major change in a
30:26
Speaker 1: short period of time.
30:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, And as I said, I would be that
30:29
Speaker 3: would stress me out. I would say they're trying to
30:31
Speaker 3: overthink everything so that I could overcorrect in the other way.
30:35
Speaker 2: I thought the.
30:35
Speaker 3: Crazy thing last night, though, What's how convinced I mean,
30:39
Speaker 3: how sure the Yankees were with all of those. I
30:43
Speaker 3: mean it was those calls were close, and they didn't hesitate.
30:47
Speaker 3: I mean you can't, obviously, you have to be fast.
30:49
Speaker 3: But cabal Errol on that second one, as he's bending
30:51
Speaker 3: down to take off his shin guard, is tapping his
30:54
Speaker 3: helmet like no doubt. He was getting ready to walk
30:58
Speaker 3: to first base. And that was baffling me. I was,
31:01
Speaker 3: like I wrote in my notes, are they robots? What
31:04
Speaker 3: the f is happening?
31:05
Speaker 1: Like Joji how how good? And I baseball players?
31:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they had no doubt in their mind that
31:11
Speaker 3: those were correct.
31:11
Speaker 1: Yeah. They are ten for eleven so far this season. Wow,
31:15
Speaker 1: So four games into their season, they've already had to
31:18
Speaker 1: correct the umpire ten times, homeplate umpire ten times and
31:21
Speaker 1: have only been wrong once. Yeah, and we're talking about
31:24
Speaker 1: fractions of space. Yeah, eyelash, Yeah, you know that's what
31:29
Speaker 1: we're talking about. And so it's interesting. I mean, they've
31:32
Speaker 1: they've certainly opened up the door. Now. I don't know
31:35
Speaker 1: how umpires are going to handle it. They already seem
31:38
Speaker 1: mortified and we're only we're not even a week end
31:41
Speaker 1: of the season, and they already seem like mortified by
31:45
Speaker 1: being called out by this new system. They got a
31:47
Speaker 1: long way to go, and some of them we know
31:51
Speaker 1: are not any good at what they do, and they've
31:53
Speaker 1: already been exposed for it. And I'm curiously well, how
31:56
Speaker 1: baseball is going to react to that? Baseball loved this idea,
31:59
Speaker 1: this is rob Manford idea, And now all of a sudden,
32:01
Speaker 1: people are finding out some of those guys that we
32:03
Speaker 1: always thought were terrible.
32:05
Speaker 2: Are terrible, are actually worse than we've thought.
32:07
Speaker 1: So what are you going to do about it? Yeah,
32:10
Speaker 1: players get dfad when they don't perform. Managers get fired
32:14
Speaker 1: when the team is underperforming. Yeah, umpires just don't get
32:19
Speaker 1: removed because of how strong their union apparently is. And
32:23
Speaker 1: yet we know we're watching it before our eyes. They're
32:27
Speaker 1: not really necessary anymore. Right, So what's the next step
32:31
Speaker 1: in all of this? It's gonna be fascinating to watch
32:33
Speaker 1: how this all unfolds, all right, coming up next now,
32:36
Speaker 1: they're monster sporting event taking place this weekend. There's just
32:40
Speaker 1: not enough time to talk about all this juicy good stuff.
32:42
Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. We got Gee
32:55
Speaker 1: startor coming on at eight o'clock. I can't wait to
32:57
Speaker 1: talk to Gene again. A lot of interesting angles that
32:59
Speaker 1: I want to hit with the former NFL REF and
33:02
Speaker 1: current rules analyst at CBS for both the NFL and
33:05
Speaker 1: their NCAA Tournament college basketball coverage. But I'm going to
33:09
Speaker 1: talk about umpires a little bit. A little bit anyway,
33:12
Speaker 1: a little bit.
33:13
Speaker 2: For this conversation.
33:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, So we'll have Gene on today at eight o'clock. Also,
33:16
Speaker 1: ever it fits, you will join us at eight thirty.
33:18
Speaker 1: Don't forget cracking ticket Tuesday. Today the Crack and aren't
33:22
Speaker 1: action tonight in Edmonton. They'll play at the Tree in Edmonton.
33:26
Speaker 1: But tonight, or excuse me for cracking ticket Tuesday. Obviously
33:29
Speaker 1: we're gonna have tickets to a home game. How about
33:32
Speaker 1: April ninth? How does that suit you against the Las
33:34
Speaker 1: Vegas Nights. So that's going to be on a Tuesday. No no, no, no, no, no,
33:39
Speaker 1: that's I don't know what night did he that's on?

34:41
Speaker 1: We got three games to go, including the two Saturday
34:45
Speaker 1: to determine who will play for the national title, and
34:48
Speaker 1: that second game, that Michigan Arizona game. Apparently there was
34:54
Speaker 1: some research done by people who research such things, and
35:01
Speaker 1: it was determined through this calculus that they use some
35:06
Speaker 1: sort of analytical system that they entered numbers into that
35:10
Speaker 1: the Arizona Michigan game is the third greatest matchup in
35:20
Speaker 1: the third greatest matchup in the history of college basketball.
35:24
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you know, based off of this metrics and
35:27
Speaker 1: all the all the metrics that they entered, and you
35:30
Speaker 1: know where they are at and the part of the
35:32
Speaker 1: season and two one seeds who both spent time number
35:35
Speaker 1: one and who have absolutely dominated every foe in front
35:38
Speaker 1: of them so far in this tournament. For them to
35:41
Speaker 1: be in the semifinals and on the coon this collision course,
35:45
Speaker 1: according to this metric, it is the third most attractive
35:50
Speaker 1: matchup in the history of college basketball. How about that?
35:54
Speaker 3: And it's only in the semi final, It's only Yeah, yeah,
35:57
Speaker 3: I feel like that happens a lot too, where we
35:58
Speaker 3: get like the matchup that we're like, oh, that should
36:00
Speaker 3: have been the championship matchup, but it's gonna be the
36:02
Speaker 3: not you know, the step right before it.
36:05
Speaker 2: And I'm excited to watch the game.
36:08
Speaker 3: But yeah, you will have to wonder, whoever wins that game,
36:11
Speaker 3: are they just gonna boat race the next person they play?
36:15
Speaker 1: I wonder just the opposite I wonder if they're going
36:19
Speaker 1: to play like it's the national championship game on Saturday,
36:24
Speaker 1: and then there's the natural letdown that you have. I
36:27
Speaker 1: can tell you from this is high school basketball. But
36:32
Speaker 1: I'll tell you a little story. Back when I was
36:34
Speaker 1: in high school, we played the number one team in
36:36
Speaker 1: the state in our in our winter tournament. There's always
36:39
Speaker 1: a Christmas tournament that we were always we played and
36:42
Speaker 1: we were good. Not like our senior season where we
36:44
Speaker 1: were undefeated. Oh you were undefeated, Yeah, we had twenty
36:47
Speaker 1: six or no. I don't know if ever time, I've
36:49
Speaker 1: never heard that, but my junior or we had a
36:50
Speaker 1: good team, really good team, really good team. And so
36:53
Speaker 1: we played the number one team in the state of
36:55
Speaker 1: Illinois in the tournament and we eat them, and so
36:59
Speaker 1: we're flying high. We're like, we're dry. We're going home
37:02
Speaker 1: that night on the bus like we're kings of the world.
37:05
Speaker 1: You know. It's basically me and my point guard, Mike Prmontier,
37:08
Speaker 1: like Rose and Leonardo DiCaprio standing on the stern holding
37:12
Speaker 1: each other and acting like we're kings of the world. Right,
37:16
Speaker 1: So we we were feeling like we couldn't be beaten.
37:19
Speaker 1: Bring on the bulls. You know, we'll take him in six.
37:24
Speaker 1: That's how we were, That's where we were feeling, That's
37:26
Speaker 1: how good we were feeling about ourselves. We felt like
37:28
Speaker 1: we just like won the state title, much less the tournament,
37:32
Speaker 1: and we still have one more game to play. And
37:34
Speaker 1: we came back that next night and we got destroyed
37:37
Speaker 1: like I've never been destroyed in a sporting event, either,
37:41
Speaker 1: you know, whether it meant something or didn't mean something
37:44
Speaker 1: in my entire life. I was three years old playing
37:47
Speaker 1: nerf hoop with my brother who's seven years older than me,
37:50
Speaker 1: and he didn't destroy me as badly as we got
37:52
Speaker 1: destroyed that next night against what was supposed to be
37:55
Speaker 1: an inferior team. Point of it is that sometimes you
37:59
Speaker 1: do feel like that was the championship game and you
38:03
Speaker 1: don't bring the same energy, in the same focus. So
38:06
Speaker 1: I don't think that. Not only do I not think
38:08
Speaker 1: that the national championship game will be a boat race,
38:12
Speaker 1: I do believe that Michigan and Arizona, whoever wins that game,
38:16
Speaker 1: the head coach better be on top of it. Yeah,
38:18
Speaker 1: I'm making sure that as soon as they leave, they
38:20
Speaker 1: are reminded we haven't accomplished what we set out to do.
38:24
Speaker 1: We're not even close. And I'm even knocking some you
38:28
Speaker 1: know what's in the dirt to remind them that you
38:32
Speaker 1: better be have your head on straight because we still
38:35
Speaker 1: have because if we lose the next game, it doesn't matter.
38:39
Speaker 2: No, yeah, you're not getting the prize for second place.
38:41
Speaker 1: That's right. You know, will be a footnote in history
38:44
Speaker 1: that Arizona beat Michigan or the other way around. If
38:47
Speaker 1: we end up losing the National Championship game mon on
38:50
Speaker 1: that following Monday. So I think you got to be
38:53
Speaker 1: guarded against it. It's such a great matchup. It does
38:56
Speaker 1: feel to us like the National Championship game. But you
39:00
Speaker 1: you better make sure if you're the head coach of
39:02
Speaker 1: the victor, that they know we have not accomplished what
39:07
Speaker 1: we set out to do. There is no celebrating tonight.
39:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't get if you lose that game, you
39:11
Speaker 3: don't get to go take home the take down the
39:14
Speaker 3: other net.
39:15
Speaker 1: That's not right, right, You don't cut down the nets
39:18
Speaker 1: that the in the semifinals.
39:19
Speaker 2: No, no, exactly one.
39:20
Speaker 3: And when you go to the finals, they're not like, oh,
39:22
Speaker 3: here's a smaller ladder. If you guys want to try
39:24
Speaker 3: to take down this net.
39:25
Speaker 1: The song's not called two shining moments, No.
39:27
Speaker 2: It's not. It's one. And that's when you win.
39:31
Speaker 1: Sometimes there are six shining moments that you reach full
39:35
Speaker 1: the stars. Yeah, you more than one shining moment, and
39:40
Speaker 1: then you'll know.
39:41
Speaker 2: A lot more of the words than I would think
39:43
Speaker 2: anyone would.
39:43
Speaker 1: I'm making them all up.
39:44
Speaker 2: No, I know, but like you still know how it goes.
39:46
Speaker 1: Kind of, Oh, you don't know by now, eh, fifty
39:49
Speaker 1: four years of watching this stupid song.
39:51
Speaker 3: Well I haven't watched it that long, but yeah, I
39:53
Speaker 3: guess I kind of.
39:54
Speaker 2: I don't usually watch it every time. I'm like, oh,
39:57
Speaker 2: it's the song again.
39:58
Speaker 1: Arizona believes in two Shining moments will cut down the
40:02
Speaker 1: nets once in the semifinals, and then we're not done. Yes, yeah,
40:09
Speaker 1: so yes, all right. Coming up next on the radio program,
