  Speaker 2: which is good news. Game two that series three forty
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: is the first pitch to I'm gonna say tonight. That

  Speaker 2: makes no sense because it's this afternoon. If you're in Seattle,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: it's tonight there, thank you, trap, Yes it is. Indeed,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Brian wu Braxton, Ashcroft, Well Ashcraft will go on the
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: mound tonight. World Cup Mania continues today, full slate of
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: games six. You just heard that in the update. Canada
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: is just underway with Switzerland. That's a big game. That's
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: a huge matchup for Group B here locally Bosnia and Cutter.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: We're going with Cutter for now, just underway at Loominfield
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: or they call it Seattle Soccer Stadium. Indeed, watch out
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: be carefully and be careful what you say. So that's
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: just underway right now as well. We'll keep an eye
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: on that. We'll have an update with our soccer nerds.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: We love them though. Andrews and FIFA Felts are coming
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: up at two PM to the game here, by the way,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: has big ramifications for the US and who they will see,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: so we'll get to that in a heartbeat. NBA hey
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: ja Dea Bonston goes number one overall. There Peters at
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: number two in the draft yesterday. The rest of the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: draft too confusing because the NBA stal doesn't know how
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: to do it. Guys are getting traded putting on the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: wrong hats. We'll tell you that. But Austin Reeves, LA
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Lakers star signed a four year or is going to
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: sign a four year, one hundred and eighty five million
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: dollar max contract to go back to the franchise player
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: option as well, so he's got a max deal coming up.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Bobby McMahon met with the media today. He'll join us
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: coming up at one pm. Here's what's coming up today.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Bobby McMahon's going to join us at one pm. Listen,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: even the casual fan, I think you'll enjoy him. He's
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: a great interview, he's will smoken, outspoken. We'll ask him
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: why why Seattle, why'd he come back? And I say
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: that from this standpoint, there was a lot yesterday a
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: lot from kracking fans that was not great. A lot
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: of people were upset, mad, disappointed, frustrated, they wanted more
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: from the report of the audit back to the fans,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of questioning of the organization. I mentioned this yesterday,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I'll mention it again and we'll have Bobby on it one.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I think if you need any indication that they're headed
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in the right direction, it's the fact that a guy
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: that could have gone to free agency on July first,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and there's probably twenty five teams that would have wanted him,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: depending on the price, maybe more, and instead he said,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna get the free agency. I'm gonna
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: sign before I open up that floodgate. That should tell
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you something. He'll join us at one two o'clock. I
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: mentioned our soccer guys Anders FIFA Feltz will join us.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: They'll give us a little perspective on what's happening in
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the World Cup as it relates to the team usay
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: listen if you're way into it, you probably have a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: pretty good idea of what's going on. If you're not
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: way into it, you're probably going, well, what are these games?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: What do these matches mean for the team I really
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: care about? And that would be Team USA, which plays
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: again tomorrow in Santa Clara, their final group stage game.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: They've already clinched the group so they're moving on and
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: they'll be on to the round of thirty two. The
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: question is who will they play in the round of
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: thirty two. The game here in Seattle that's just underway
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: has something to do with that, so we'll get we'll
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: get some context. I mentioned this with Greg. Fox's coverage
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: has been really good. For the most part. I think
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: John Strong is maybe the most underrated play by play
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: person in our country. He's a Portland kid, at least
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: he was. He worked, he was Canzano's producer for years,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: crazy and now he's like the lead voice for Fox
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Soccer in our country. Does a great job. I don't
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: think they do a great job of telling us all
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the time. What's going on with the context is you
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: know what? That's why you tune into KJR at seven
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: pm at night, right that's the show you produce. You're
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: there every night seven o'clock. They do a good job
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of explaining what's I think it's important, Like what do
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: these games mean? Like what do they mean? Who's who's
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: in chart? Like, like like what are the ramifications? Not
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: just for Team USA, but overall, Like I'm texting Jackson
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and Andrews every night, going, Okay, I'm watching this game.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: What do I want to see happen here? Do I
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: care at all? Does it matter? Not even so much
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: for the US, just does it matter period? Like is
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: one team already out, is one team moving on, et cetera.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: So they'll explain what all the games, six matches today mean,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: including the Canada game going on right now, the game
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: at Lumenfield. So we'll get to that coming up at
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: two o'clock. Next segment, coming up around twelve twenty, we're
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: going to get into a little bit of NBA expansion talk.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: The NBA NBA Draft Day one, first first round was yesterday.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I joke about it. It's just it's just so just
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: we talked about this line yesterday. It's so just functional. Man,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: it's just so like, take a queue from the NFL,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: take a queue from the NFL. And what I mean
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: by what I mean by the taking a que from
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the NFL is take a queue from the NFL and
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: announce your trades as they're happening. You don't have to
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: wait till the quote league year starts on July first
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and free agency starts. I think it's odd the NHL
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: does the same thing. Odd that you have free agency
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: after the draft. I think free agency before the draft
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: is better, like the NFL does. Well, let's just how
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: about this. The NFL does things just better than anybody else.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: That's why they're the NFL. Okay, Like that's like, that's
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and just so when you have all these guys putting
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: on hats and I don't even watched the draft. I
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: tuned in a couple seconds here there. I'm like, I
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I know they're drafting for somebody else. Why do I care?
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: And who?
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: It?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Just it's goofy. So, but there's a bigger story. There's
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: a bigger story, and that would be expansion. I think
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: the expansion part of it is really the thing that
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: we all care about. How many more drafts are we
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: going to go through without having a team? And I
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: believe it's one next year for the twenty seven draft,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and that's it, because in twenty twenty eight we would
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: have a team. And why do I think that You're
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: gonna hear from Adam Silver coming up in just a
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: couple of minutes, and we'll get into that a little
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: bit more as well. The Mariners yesterday Cole Young, really
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: cool story gets the home run in wait for it,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: his hometown of Pittsburgh, a game winning home run. Used
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to shag balls there and stuff, So really a cool
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: story for him to get that to run home run
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: in the seventh inning, last go ahead two run home run.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: They were down three two or two to one at
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the time. Hits the hits the bomb, three run home run.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Thanks for coming. They get the win and kind of
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: a big win for them, kind of a big win
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: for them in a lot of ways. Pittsburgh is okay,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And I mean by what I mean by okay is
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: there are only two games behind Seattle in terms of
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: what their record is this year, so they're not quite
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the pushover you would think, but they do have some issues.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Two of their best players are out. Those are the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: games you win. Cal Raley goes one for four and
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: in a sense struck out a couple times you'd be like, Okay,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: still struggling. He did have a home run solo Jack,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: perfect good thing for that. That's a good thing. We
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: will take that all day and every day. We'll take
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: that home run from cal Rawly. So good news there tonight,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Brian Wu goes and then you just kind of cross
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: your fingers. Brian Wu. Yes, no road Brian Wu or
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the real Brian because Brian Wu on the road has
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: been awful this year. So we're hoping to see the
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: good one tonight. And again I keep saying tonight, like
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: they're gonna play tonight. They play it three forty our time. Okay,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: we come back NBA Draft yesterday. How how close are
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: we to getting a team back? You'll hear from the
• 8:23

• 10:38
  Speaker 2: that next segment. Mister social media, call me mister social media.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: My kids in here, is shaking his head. No.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: The the it looks like like if you're doing NFL
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: or NHL, maybe even MLB, like the the situation rooms,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: like the replay rooms. That's what it looks like. Yeah,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Like it's got massive TVs everywhere all that kind of It's. Yeah,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: you guys are doing great. It's fun. Yeah, so I
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: was taught. I was confirming with Travis here in the
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: break because sometimes old man Mauth isn't great, especially on
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: the radio. But yeah, this is the This I believe
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: will be the second to last NBA draft for us
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: here in Seattle that we don't that we're not involved with.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Our last NBA draft was two thousand and eight. And
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the worst part about that final NBA draft in two
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: thousand and eight we didn't reap the fruits of the
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: labor there because that was two thousand and eight. Russell
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Westbrook went number four overall to at the time, the
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Seattle SuperSonics. The Sonics also had a second pick in
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: the first round, Serge Abaca went number twenty four overall,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and then they picked four other players all in the
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: second round, Walter Sharp from UAB, Trent placed at from BYU,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Devon Harden from cal and Sasha Khan from Kansas. Those
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: guys combined to play thirty three games in the NBA,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: so what happened after Sir je Abaca didn't matter much.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Although if remember right, Walter Sharp, we kind of liked
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: him at the time, but he only played eight games
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: in the NBA. Sasha con played twenty five and the
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: other guys didn't play any but Abaca obviously had a
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: hell of a career. Russell Westbrook is MVP. So those
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: two guys and I remember that day. We're at the
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: old Ferttle Center, which is now gone.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: That is.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Do you know where the for Totitle Center was or
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: you will enough to know, No, it's where the Gates
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Foundation stuff is now. Oh that's right there, which used
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: to be like the metro bus barn for like the
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: electric buses, the lens with the little the trolleys up
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: on Queen Ann and stuff in Capitol Hill and then
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: it turned into the Frattle Center was there, which the
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Sonics practice facility, and we were sitting in there for
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: that draft day, and I remember, like Westbrook gets taken.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: There's a couple of funny couple of media guys. I
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: won't name Percy Allen's name right now, but just ripping
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: on like, oh my god, that's a horrible pick. I'm like, really,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I think we Russell Westbrooks pretty good. Like I watched
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: a lot of college hoops, think he's all right, and
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: we all say stuff like that. But I just remember,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I remember having that debate with Percy. I like purse person,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: that's a great job with stuff for the times. But
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I remember having that debate going, well, I can't wait,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to say, hey, you know what you're
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: wrong at a game this year like in O eight.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Well that happened, and then obviously a week and a
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: half later we lost the team, so we never saw
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: them again. That was at the and that was kind
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: of that was the surreal deal. And then before I
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: get to Adam Silver in a second, that was surreal
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: because we were sitting there that night and I think
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I was there with a Lease. I think Puck was
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: with me. I know Percy was there, Art Teal was there,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Steve Kelly, like a bunch of the guys that are
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: now retired and so forth, and we're watching this thing
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: take place. We should have figured out something was wrong.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: It was during the trial, first of all, to keep
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the team here. Second of all, we were putting this
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: like really small little closet of a room, like ten
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: or fifteen of us or whatever that were covering the
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: draft at the Fortadtal Center. No food, no water, no nothing.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: It was just like we're there and it was in
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: contrast to the year before, because the year before, in
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: two thousand and seven, that draft was held on the
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: grounds right by the mural Amphitheater outdoors at the Seattle
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Center and we did a huge show. I did a
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: show there that night. Kevin Klaber was on with us
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: most of the night gas and that was when they
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: had the number two overall pick and it was Kevin Durant.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: That was a big thing. Do you go Greg Oden
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: or Kevin Durant And all along we kind of had
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: a feeling. Kevin Pritchard was pretty much the GM at
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: the time of the Blazers now in Indiana, was pretty
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: much in love with Greg Odin. And as much as
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: they got criticized harshly for taking Odin and not Durant,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: most teams would have taken Greg Odin not knowing that
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: he was going to fall apart and everything was going
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: to break and stuff like that. But we had that
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: draft party up there and that was like such a
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: it was like our last the draft day in two
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: thousand and seven, they also took Carl Landry by the
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: way out of Purdue. They ended up trading him and
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Glenn Davis out of LSU but that was kind of
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: our last real basketball celebration in our city, Like the
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: last time we really got to celebrate basketball was that day.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: And for me, I had been at KGr for less
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: than a year at that point, So I got here
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: in September of six. Feel free to get me a
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: gift from my twentieth anniversary this fall. Congrats not there yet, buddy,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: and look at the trades. We got a ways to go.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: We're limping to the finish line right now. Anyway, that
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: was our that but i'd been here less than less
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: than a year, and I remember sitting up there and
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: doing that show, and I do remember we broke a story.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: David Locke and I were working on a story back then.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: We had a couple of guys that I was really
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: close to, a guy that passed away a couple of
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: years ago. Mark Warcantein was a GM of the Year
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: for Denver, worked in Portland, and we had the deal
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: that Jeff Green was coming here. We broke that on
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: the air live. It was a really fun day. And
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I remember the celebration when Kevin Durant got drafted up
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: there at the Seattle Center grounds and I'm like, God,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: this is so awesome. I'm back in my hometown. My
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: first team, my first love, my first sports love, was
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: the Sonics period, end of story. As you know, I mean,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: that's the only they were. They were the only pro
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: team here until the Mariners came in seventy seven or
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: seventy seven, the Seahawks and seventy six.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: That was it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: We were a Sonics town. And I'm like, this is awesome.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: And we just got Kevin Durant. My god, this would
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: be awesome. Can't believe it. And Casey was honest collaboro
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: and he's just he's breaking it down. This guy is
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: going to be this this and he was right, and
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: we're all excited in the party.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: A year later the team was just awful, case in
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: point fourth overall pick lottery team again, and that was
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: that was it. I don't think we even I really
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: don't think we got to celebrate Kevin Durant being a Sonic.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Know people, there's a lot of people that will look
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: back fondly, and you know, Kevin Durant and Sonic's time,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: and because he'll on occasion he'll say things, yeah, you know,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: he'll say nice things about Seattle, which is great, and
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: appreciated in his sense, I think there's somewhat hollow and
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: empty words. He was here for a year. It was
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: an awful experience on every on every level. Basketball team
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: was bad, ownership was moving out. They just they were
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: getting ready to sue the city, which they did later on,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: and the whole nine yards that that lawsuit started spring
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: of eight. We never really got to celebrate Kevin Durant
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: here at all. And I remember going down and he
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: played a game the first game they played in Portland.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: The next year, he and Jeff Green were at and
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I remember going to interviewing in the locker room, and
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: I can just tell you they were very dismissive. They
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: didn't care. They honestly didn't care. So for all those
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: that say Durant's a Seattle guy said, he says the
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: right things in the moment, at the time, he didn't care.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: He was in Oklahoma City, just didn't care. And honestly,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I can't blame him for that. He was here for
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: a year. It's not like he had any any type
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: of connection to our city. But as I'm watching from Afar,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: not on TV, but just kind of fall onto the
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: draft last night, as I'm going through that, I thought, God,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: the last time we really celebrated the NBA in Seattle
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: with any kind of backbone, anything that mattered was Draft
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Day two thousand and seven with Kevin Durant, and little
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: did we know a year later they would be gone.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: We were worried. There were thoughts, a whole nonsense with
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Clayton Minett thinking he's going to build a building in
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Renton or tuck Will or someplace whatever. But that was
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: the last time. I'm going to it, and I don't count.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not one who counts a celebration being a preseason game.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: We're not a preseason NBA city. If you think we are,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: God bless, you go to the game, you go watch
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: a bunch of guys that are going to be playing
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: the G League this year. I do that. That's fine.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I've softy won't go to Starbucks. I won't go to
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: an NBA preseason game in Seattle until it's a team
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: were in green and gold, period, end of story. That's
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: just I'm not going to do it. I've had that,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I've had that debate with Purple Sheet Before the rich
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: we've kind of helped try to support these things, like
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not supporting that crap. My other employer brings him
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: to town a climate pledge the craft. I'm not supporting it.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: We're not an NBA preseason Keey city. We're an NBA city.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: So how close are we to getting it back? And
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: I asked Travis earlier, I go, this is it right?
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: If I do the math, the twenty twenty six draft
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: is over, there's the twenty twenty seven draft next spring
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: for the twenty seven to twenty eight season, the twenty
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: eight twenty nine season draft in twenty twenty eight, that
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: would be our first draft in theory, if we get
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: a team in twenty twenty eight in theory Dan Patrick
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show yesterday, Adam Silver was on. Here's what
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: he said.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: We looking at twenty twenty eight, Seattle and Vegas still
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: the leading candidates for expansion, and if so, Memphis or
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: Minnesota going to the Eastern Conference. Does that sound fair?
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: So if we expand at least we're thinking eight twenty
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: nine season. The only two cities at the moment we're
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: looking at our las Vegas and Seattle. We haven't had
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: a vote on it. It's not a foregone conclusion, but
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: we're in the process. Of talking to groups that are
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: interested in getting an expansion team in those two cities,
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: and then yes, and then well, if we do add
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: two teams, we'll want to likely even out the conferences,
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: so there will be some movement then.
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: But you're looking at two teams, not either Seattle or Vegas.
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we're currently looking at two teams. But what we've
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: said is it's possible we won't expand at all, and
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: we could expand to just one market, but we're officially
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: looking at both those markets right now.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: So kind of reiterating, but I think going a little bit,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: I think a little deeper in terms of his comments
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: from back in March. We know it's those two. We
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: believe it's those two. It's going to be those two.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: There was a story yesterday that Bill Foley, who's the
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: owner of the Vegas Golden Knights, is kind of we're
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: hearing it more launching an NBA expansion bid.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: He is.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: He announced that Monday that he's so he's officially announced
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: he's launching a bid to bring the franchise to Vegas.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Board of Governors, if you want to go back in
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: late March explored the bids for expansion franchise and said
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: that we will indeed explore expansion. So you need, you know,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: the owners to vote on this, and we think that
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: could happen. This fall Folly is only worth two point
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: six billion, I say to sounds how dull it is?
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: How does it? How dumb does that sound? By the way,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: he's only worth two point six billion, But we're talking
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: about a franchise value for an expansion that's probably hovering
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: around six to eight billion. So he'll need other people
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: to come on board. He says he's got a limited
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: number of strategic and minority partners, et cetera. And but
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: but he kind of made it official. He's out there,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: they're exploring it. We know here in Seattle what's going on,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: and that is that the Kraken ownership group One Roof
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Sports and Entertainment, led by Samantha Hallway, they added Milinda
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: French Gates, who's worth thirty billion dollars to their portfolio
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: and their ownership group for the Kraken and One Roof
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: here about three or four weeks ago. So they're on board.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: So when you hear Adam Silver say that, like that
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: really caught my attention. I know he had kind of
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: alluded to, you know, in a couple of years, and
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight, I mean that was about as definitive
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: as it gets. I've said all along, and I truly
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: believe this. I've been talking out for a while. Twenty
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: twenty eight is the target date that makes sense for everybody,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: makes sense for the league, makes sense for the ownership groups.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: You want to have at least an eighteen month rollout
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: to get teams in jams and everybody ready. So if
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: it gets approved by I don't think it'll be All
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Star Weekend or Summer League, which is coming up in July,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I don't believe that will happen. I think we're looking
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: more at the fall, but that gives everybody eighteen months
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: to get ready to go. And there is a difference,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: I think, an inherent difference that needs to be pointed
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: out between an expansion NHL franchise and expansion NBA franchise.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: And really specifically, for lack of a better term, it's
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: easier to launch an NBA expansion franchise. The infrastructure is
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: far less the NBA. First of all, smaller roster, The
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: rosters are half the size. You don't have all due
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: respect to the developmental League to the G League. You
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: don't have a minor league system. You're not having to
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: build out a minor league program with like in the
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: case of the Crack and Coachella Valley, the coaches and
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: all that. You're not drafting kids like Major League Baseball,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: which you do in hockey that are three four years
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: away from playing and really kind of build your You
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: draft and guys come in and make a difference right away.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's how the's that's how it works
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: in the I mean, Darren Peterson going number two overall,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: is going to start day one for the Jazz Aja
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: debonsta is going to start day one in Washington. All
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: these guys, Cameron booz Or, Caleb Wilson, Keaton Wogler, mckel
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: brown junior, Darius Acuff, Junior Kingston Flemings, all these guys
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: that were drafted in the lottery yesterday, Mares Johnson, Junior,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Braden Burris, Jaxuel Landenberg, all these guys, they're all coming
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: in to start day one. They make an impacts. You
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: dropped a guy in the NHL draft, you're a couple
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: of years away, so there's a little bit more of
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: a build up, there's a little more of a process.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: There's more layers involved. We just found out yesterday with
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: the audit there's fourteen plus different departments in an NHL organization.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: The NBA isn't quite that extensive coaching sous et cetera.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: So eighteen months is fine. So that's where we're at.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: So think about this and just put this in perspective
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: for just a moment. We only have one more NBA
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: draft that we're not a part of. And I'm listening
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: to Adam Silver knowing what's going on here in this
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: city behind the scenes. The fact that Bill Foley finally
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: came out and publicly said, yes, I'm pursuing an NBA
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: franchise in Vegas, the owner of the Golden Knights, the
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: guy that runs arena. This is happening. This is flat
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: out happening. It's not a question of if, and you
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: know what, listening to the commissioner right there, it's not
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: anymore even a question of when it's happening. Guys, the
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: NBA's coming back. You heard Adam Silver there, You've heard
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: the insinuations behind the scenes from Liwicki, Samantha Holloway. Now
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Bill Foley in vas. I don't think there was any
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: appetite or desire, even though it had been alluded before,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: and Silver himself has said, well, maybe we just expand
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: to one team. No, no, no, no, no, you're not
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: doing that. You need to And then I love Dan
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Patrick his question. Think about that for a second. He's
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: asking about realignment. That's how far down the rope people
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: are thinking about this, because yeah, you're adding two teams
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: in the West, two teams in the Pacific time zone.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: So yeah, you're gonna move a couple of teams back
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: to the Eastern Conference. That's how far down the road
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: we are. We only have one more NBA draft that
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: will not involved Seattle. That's a damn good thing. Last
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: night was actually a better day than you thought. If
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: you're an NBA fan or an NBA fan to be
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: in Seattle, it is a better day than you thought.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Four nine four to five one. That is that's cobadage
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: text line four nine four to five to one. Your thoughts,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: your comments, your questions, your concerns. By the way, no
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: score Switzerland and Canada. What's the other one? I gotta
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: see what's the other score?
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, hello, hello, we have scores. Well, up to you
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: on the other game in a minute, because it does
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: affect what happens with Team USA. And then we'll hear
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: from Bobby McMahon top of the hour ninety three point
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: three KTERRFM.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Now back to Ian Furness on your home for the
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Huskies Cracking and the Twelfth Man, brought to you by
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Seattle's closest Snow call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: We're looking at twenty twenty eight. Seattle and Vegas still
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: the leading candidates for expansion, and if so, Memphis or
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: Minnesota going to the Eastern Conference does that sound fair?
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: So if we expand at least we're thinking twenty eight
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: twenty nine season, the only two cities at the moment
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: we're looking at our Las Vegas and Seattle. We haven't
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: had a vote on it. It's not a foregone conclusion,
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: but we're in the process of talking to groups that
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: are interested in getting an expansion team in those two cities.
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: And then yes, and then well, well, if we do
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: add two teams, we'll want to likely even out the conferences,
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: so there will be some movement. Then.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: But if you're looking at two teams, not either Seattle
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: or Vegas.
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we're currently looking at two teams. But what we've
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: said is it's possible we won't expand at all, and
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: we could expand to just one market, but we're officially
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: looking at both those markets.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Right now, officially looking at both those markets. Just give
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: some thoughts four nine four five one on the Tacoma
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Dodge text line. I just feel like that was maybe
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: one of the more substantial things that Adam Silver has said.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: I feel like that just I mean, I'm about as
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: confident as can be that they're going to have it,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: that we're going to have NBA here and follow twenty
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: twenty eight. I'm about I mean, I'm really confident that
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: that's going to happen, Like very confident. But hearing him
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: say that, a guy that's kind of tap danced around
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: the whole process for a while, like he's really tapped
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: asked up until March when they said they're gonna explore
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna explore expansion Seattle in Vegas. He
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: says it again, he says, not a foregone conclusion. The
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: boy listening to him, it just feels like and knowing
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: what's going on here. I think the Bill Foley stuff
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: in Vegas was significant. I think the Milinda French gates
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: significant here because I believe that really just kind of
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: takes out any questions if is there a rival group
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: that would try to come in. And I know what
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: people are going to say in the text on I've
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: seen the text before. I understand it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: you know, we don't like the way that the hockey
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: team's projecting in terms of wins and losses. Are gonna
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: run the basketball team. I want to I want different owners.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: You're not going to get different owners, guys. And here's
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: why they run the building. They being Samantha Hallway and
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: the One Roof Foundation group. They run the building. Bill
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: fully runs the building in Vegas. That's a significant part.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: When you're paying up to six seven eight billion, whatever
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: it might be dollars billion, that's with a B for
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: an expansion franchise, you sure as hell better have all
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: the revenue streams available at your disposal. Like you better
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: have everything at your disposal. You better be able to
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: sell the suites and revenue and all the revenue streams
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: that come from a franchise. You better not be sharing
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: that as a secondary tenant and just someone leasing out
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: the building, you better control of the building. That's why
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: the Fully stuff was significant. And I think that I
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: don't think it's any any doubt that Fully came out,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: probably at the request the NBA. Hey let's make this public.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: You're you're the guy you're taking because there would be
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: maybe some people sniffing around, but they're not gonna go
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: cut a deal with him to get dates in the
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: building when they're the when the Vegas Gold Nights are
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: there and other stuff's going on there. Same thing here
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense. So we're gonna see NBA basketball
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: here in twenty nine. I just I felt yesterday was
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: a fun, cool day. Four nine, four or five to
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: one your thoughts on the takmadadg checks on. I thought
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: yesterday was a very significant day. Listening to Silver's comments
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: there they do pre interview stuff. Damn Patrick asking about that.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Just I look at the little things. Maybe I'm just
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: crazy and too much manucia. Sometimes I look at the
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: little things Dan Patrick not even asking about, not even
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: asking about the thing that's gonna isn't gonna happen. He's
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: just like, no, so we're doing realignment, right, We're gonna
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: relign like he went. Wait, he went well past the
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: awarding of the franchises when he asked that question. And
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: that's a guy that knows what the hell he's doing.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: So uh, cool stuff there by the way, two to one.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Now Bosnia and cutter at Softy keeps saying he's gonna
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: get in trouble for this. I'm going to say Loomenfield.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at ESPN dot com on the scores. They
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: call it Lumenfield, Seattle, Washington. They call it BC Place, Vancouver, Canada.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Later today, Mercedes Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia, hard Rock Stadium,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Miami Gardens. Can't pronounce the name of the stadium in
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Mexico City, but we'll just say it's up there. Same
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: with Guadalajara. ESPN's given a mill finger to FIFA. Oops,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: I just did that. Are we in YouTube? We are?
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: We are on YouTube right?
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: How do you get a shot at the kid? I
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: got a kid grinding in here studying. Can you get
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: a shot at Oh? Can you switch it better? Smile Keith?
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: The camera's right there now. I want to know if
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I want to know if you're watching on the YouTube.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Who's big? Who's better looking that one or the older one? Huh?
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: This guy, that guy, this guy. Ah h, we don't
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: look the same, a lot better looking, better hair. All right, listen,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: coming up and just come in. We'll check in with
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Bobby McMahon and get that the Bobby McMahon interview. We're
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: going to talk to him about re signing with Seattle.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Yesterday was a rough day in some senses for the Kraken,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: in the sense that I think I think the attempt
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: was to be as transparent as possible. I think people
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: wanted more than they got. As far as the audit
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: interview questions, what have you answers, I'll go to my
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: grave saying this. I don't think that they frankly owed
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: anybody anything in terms of an explanation. Todd LWICKI, but
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: he is very in tune with and keen on the
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: importance of the fan base here, and and he gave
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: you what I think he probably should and could have
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: given you publicly, and that was audit complete. We've taken
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: the deep look at things. Changes are being made. We
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: can't really tell you what those are because it's proprietory information,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: trade secrets, how we want to phrase it, but rest
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: assured we're committed to winning. And I think he said
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: what needed to be said yesterday. Now I know people
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: wanted to have and I just think this is the
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: most the strangest thing people wanted to have, like a
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: detailed line item explanation of everything they found in the audit.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Did anybody really ever think that that was going to happen?
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: And what business in the public eye would ever do
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: that that's in competition with other businesses, Like there's like
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: a lack of common sense. Sometimes. I thought he was
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: very very good in how we articulated what they're trying
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: to do, what the priorities are. But one of the
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: things that came out of that was are you how
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: committed are you to winning? And I'll ask Bobby McMahon,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, he re signed here. My guess is he
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: probably feels like they're pretty damn committed to winning. Because
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: he had the pick, he could have gone to a
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: lot of places. He could have gone to a lot
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: of teams that were a postseason team, playoff team last year.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: The teams are on the rise. He could have gone
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: to teams with other players. It probably could have allowed
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: him a little more skill around him than Seattle currently has.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I mean they won't have that, but more established players.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: He decided not to do that. He wanted to stay
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: here and know this, in this sport with free agency,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: winning does mean something in a day and age in
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: which the players and the NHL dictate where they go
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: more so than any other league in terms of no
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: trade clauses and no movement clauses. This that's important. You're
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: going to get paid. And I'm assuming that McMahon's going
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: to tell us that he feels good about where Seattle's going.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: So we'll hear from him coming up in just second
• 34:55

• 37:42
  Speaker 2: I wanted to set it up this way. April twenty
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: second end of the season for the Kraken, I sat
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: down at the thirty two Bar and Grill that day.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Talked to Lane Lambert, Jason Bottrel, and a couple players
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: as well Brendon Montour stop by, but also a guy
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: that was probably the most important piece in the offseason
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: for Seattle, least internally, and that was Bobby McMahon, who
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: was traded from Toronto to Seattle right around the deadline.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: This past season came in twenty nine goals, had a
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: hell of a season in Toronto and Seattle, but a
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: pending free agent, and I asked Bobby about his thoughts
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: on staying in Seattle as he entered free agency.
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's weird because I've always been my whole life
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: on that side of working towards something, and now that
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: the season's over, it's kind of like you transition to
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: maybe looking at the contract side of it, and it's
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: a weird thing. That I haven't really had a chance
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: to do yet. But this is definitely an organization that
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: has treated me well, coming in, super super warm, welcome,
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: enjoyed the time with the guys, as the coaches, the
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: management have all been super nice. So it's something that
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to look at really seriously. Obviously, it's
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: a point in my career where I want to make.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: It's gonna be some big decisions. Obviously I want to
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: make the right one. So it's a city that I've
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: got to know a little bit. Didn't know what time
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: coming in. Enjoyed my time here, and I feel like
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: it's definitely spot that I could see myself finding out
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: that where.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Is lane fitt into that Lane Lambert, And we'll ask
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: about that in just a couple of seconds because he
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: joined us right now on the Beacon Plumbing hotline. Bobby McMahon,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: And when it was all said and done, you left
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: us with some hope and you gave the crack and
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: fans something to be excited about. You're going to be
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: a member of the team for the next six years
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: signing that contract. Congratulations, Bobby, thank you and thanks for
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: having me. I appreciate you I'm going to get into
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: the whys and all that in a second. And you
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: did a conference call with the media this morning I
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: thought was really insightful just about the direction of where
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: you see the organization is going. But let me just
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: ask you, like, this is a different thing for so
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: many people, but for a free agent in any sport,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: you have decisions to make. There's probably a lot of
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: pressure both from your teammates or other guys around the
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: lead league, you know, family members, et cetera. Now that
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: it's done and you're not gonna have to worry about
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: after July. First, what's the main emotion you're feeling right now?
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Is a relief?
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Is an excitement? What are you feeling?
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: Probably want excitement, a little bit of a relief as well.
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: It's a little bit hard to sit and limbo, just
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: kind of waiting to see thinking maybe I'm going to
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: go to free agency, Maybe I could be with any
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: of the thirty two teams in the league, could be
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: living anywhere in North America. That's always a little bit unsettling.
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: So definitely some relief, but more than anything, excited, just
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: excited to get rolling with this group, try and build
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: something special and try and build with the guys that
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: are there right now?
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: What was the process like? Because when I left you
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: and you left us on the at the thirty two,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: I think there was a golf trip planned for you.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: I think Calee Fleury and some others We're going to
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: go play golf, I know, talking to Moni and some others.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: There was some recruiting going on. So what took place?
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: How hard did guys recruit you just from your own
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: team with the Kraken.
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, started started kind of right near the end of
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: the season there, rolled right into that golf trip. I
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: think it was like twelve of us went out for
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: a golf trip there. That was that was really fun.
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: Got to know the guys really well, had a great
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: time there. They were all kind of throwing jabs or
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: thrown out hands that they wanted me to stick around,
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: which was really nice. Like they they were all great friends, teammates.
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: They were all trying to get me to kind of
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: stick around, which was great. And then it was transitioning
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: to them talking to Bots, talking to Lane, what's the
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: vision for this team? Where's this organization going? I think
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: I was kind of pressing them a little bit about
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: how do we get this organization or what's I guess
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: their plan to get this organization on the right track.
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: We didn't finish last season where we wanted to, didn't
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: end up making playoffs, So how do we get this
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: organization to a spot where it's a winning team and
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: a consistently top organization in the NHL. So I think
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: that that was my biggest questions for them. We talked
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: extensively about it. A couple of phone calls with Bots,
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: a couple of meetings, a couple of meetings with Lane
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: before I left, all things that were important to me
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: to understand where's this organization going, And in doing that,
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: we talked about what prospects we have. That was kind
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: of the biggest thing as far as where this organization
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: is going a lot of great pieces in Coachella Valley
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: where guys can are young still but can step up
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: and be legitimate contributors and NHL players in the cracking
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: organization and then part of this team. So that was
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: probably the biggest thing that was pushing me to be like, Okay,
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: this is this is a great spot to be. It
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: has has the potential, has the future. It's going to
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: take going to take the work but I think the
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: pieces are there and this organization is willing to put
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: the work in to get to that spot.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Bobby McMahon joining me. Listen, the money was going to
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: be there, whether it was Seattle or another team, another
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: one of the thirty one teams around the league. You've
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: earned that, and there's no doubt you've earned that. Remarkable
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: story undrafted all the things that we know about you
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: coming in and to get to this point that is
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: pretty is it's just a great story and it's pretty
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: cool for you and your family. But let me go
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: back to what you said. The money's going to be there,
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: So we know that you know you were gonna get paid.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: You knew probably halfway through last season, maybe even entering
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: last season, your your final year, your free agency season,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: You're probably like, I'm gonna I'm gonna probably do Okay,
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have your choice of where you want to
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: go more than likely, and all those types of things.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: But money aside, you had to believe. What makes you
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: believe in the organization. We'll just start with Bots because
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: you said you sat down with him. So the conversation
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: with Bots with Jason Bottrow, the GM what made you
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: believe and what was the vision that you heard and
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: saw from him?
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: Biggest thing I could hear it in his voice and
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: the way that he wanted to approach things is that
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: he wanted to do everything he could to make this
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: organization better. I thought it was sincere. I think every
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: GM's trying to do that, but I think that the
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: way that he's approaching it ownership with himself, in conjunction
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: with Lane, there's a big push here to make this
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: team better. And then it was okay, well, how do
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: you do that? And then we were talking through the
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: pieces that they have, so draft picks, prospects, players are here,
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: ability to try and acquire players, His his drive to
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: try and do that if there are players available that
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: are out there. I think all those things are huge
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: for me in that knowing that this place is going
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: to be a place that's at least pushing to be
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: a top team in the league eventually, and that's that's
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: what got me excited. But also the thought and then
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: talking with Lane a little bit about the legacy that
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: can be built and building it kind of from the
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: ground up, and knowing that it's a new organization and
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: how cool it would be and how satisfying it would
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: be and how good it would feel to build this
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: organization to a place that's competing in the playoffs and
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: pushing to be one of the best teams in the league.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Let me start with the one acquisition they've made, and
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: you played against him in the East, probably more than
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: we've seen him out here, Maki Samskevitch. They picked him
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: up from Florida.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: On same day.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: It was an eventful Sunday for those of us that
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: were trying to enjoy Father's Day. Bobby, it was an
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: eventful day for news to be coming out. But what
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: do you know about Mackie? You must have seen him.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: He sounds like he's a guy who's got a lot
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: of speed and just kind of stuck in a depth
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: that you issue in Florida. But what do you know
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: about him? Because I think that's kind of the first
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: step along the way, trading a couple of draft picks
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: and bringing in a kid that probably is ready to
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: take the next step, maybe like a Bobby McMahon was
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: a couple of years ago.
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you could see that. Obviously, they have a
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: great team in Florida that had some guys that were
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: playing some big minutes. But playing against him, he plays
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: a great speed, he is able to control the game.
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: He's got good skills, good puck skills. He plays hard too.
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: He's difficult to play against. So seeing that was huge.
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: That was cool to also see that on the day
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: that I signed the contract, and that's he's going to
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: be there as well. I'm already adding pieces and it's
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: already looking like a bit of a different team. I
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: think that that gets me excited and hopefully him excited
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: as well. And I think everyone in the organization was
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: excited to get him there because he's definitely going to
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: be a contributing piece.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Bobby, let's go back to the organization. Something that just
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: jumped out at me today with your earlier conversation and
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: something that you know, we discussed that I discussed with
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: Todd la Wicki with the audit and everything else. The
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: commitment to win. It's it's every GM probably wants to
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: push to win, and they have it in different ways.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: You mentioned the vision that Botts has, You've got to
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: have the support from above in management. I'm assuming you
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: are convinced that whether it be Samantha Holloway, the leadership group,
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: winning is important, and they're going to do everything they
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: can to help the players get there. Am I right
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: in assuming that?
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely right, Mett with Samantha when I was there,
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: She's great. She was able to.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: One.
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: He's any questions that I had addressed, anything that I
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: would want, I guess in the organization, they already have
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: so much infrastructure and systems in place in this organization
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: and make guys the best players they can be, and
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: that's all you can ask. You got to provide the opportunity,
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: let the players take advantage of it. And that's exactly
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: what they're doing. They provide strength and conditioning, nutrition on
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: nice coaching, performance stuff, video, all the things that you
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: need to do to be the best player that you
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: can be and then ultimately contribute to a winning program.
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: And that's that's what I liked coming in, and that's
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: what I continued to look for and saw all the
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: way through my time there. And that's what gets me
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: excited about one, pushing myself to be the best that
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: I can be and taking advantage of that, and as
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: well as the players around me and the new guys
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: coming in in terms of prospects and younger guys that
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: can take advantage of that and be the best players
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: they can be.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting. I didn't know you met with her.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: I thought, I think it's an interesting dynamic that she has.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: It's you know when you when people that it's funny.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: You'll see her walk through the thirty two bar and grill,
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: go grab a coffee at Starbucks, what have you come back?
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: She's there every day, are most stays or she's not
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: out of town at meetings, but she's there all the time.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: There's that fine line between an owner who meddles too much, right,
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: and it is like, you know, in the room or
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: in the GM's office going hey, I don't like what's
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: I see on the power play? What are we doing
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: here with all these things? But yet someone that takes
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: the time to talk to a player, I have to
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: think that means something to you. That because she's not
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: the meddling owner, but she's obviously an owner that wants
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: to be hands on when it comes to making sure
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: the players are treated right. That's that's going to mean
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: something to a hockey player, doesn't it.
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it absolutely absolutely means something. It's huge knowing that
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: you are feeling welcome, you're cared for you know that
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: you're an important piece of what's going on there, and
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: I think she does a great job of that. And
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: I could also get the sense that she just wants
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: to provide the best for the players, understanding that there's
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: the hockey side of it as well, and that's something
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: that the players take care of and management and things
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: like that. But she wants to one challenge everybody to
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: be at their best, but also make sure she's more
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: than anything providing everything that we need to be at
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: our best. And I felt that from the second I
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: saw from the meetings that we had and just chatting
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: with her after the season here too, getting a few
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: text messages from her, knowing that she's in full support
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: of having me there and having an organization that is
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: continuing to strive to be the best.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: What does Lanine Lambert mean to this process? And what
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: did he mean to this process for you? And did
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: you talk to him quite a bit? How did that
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: go because you had him as folks don't know, he
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: was an assistant coach in Toronto when Bobby's are two
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: years ago and obviously came here last year as a
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: head coach. But what did Lane mean to the process
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: and how did that work?
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he was big. We met a few times. I
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: went over to his house after the season. We had
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: a bit of a meeting there, a couple of calls,
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: just kind of discussing one the trajectory of the team,
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: but two a little bit of my role as well,
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: and how do I fit into this team. I want
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: to make sure that it's a good fit. And it
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: felt like it was a good fit. But we continue
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: to talk about that and how I can help contribute
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: to this team and how I can also get my
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: game to the best that it can possibly be. And
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: that was big for myself personally, because that's something that
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: gives me a lot of joy and gives me a
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: lot of satisfaction in my life, is to get something
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: that I love to do, which is playing hockey, and
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: get that to be the best that it can possibly be.
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: And he was in full support of that. He was
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: excited about getting me to that point. And we kind
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: of talked through that and then obviously talked about the
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: organization and how things were looking and where do we
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: improve and how do we do that and how do
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: things get to a point where we're continuing to be
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: a playoff team. Every year in the future.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting you mentioned today, Bobby mcmah
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: with this for a couple more moments, the young guys.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: You're very keenly aware of the organization. I'm sure that
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: came from not just you observing it, talking to bots
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: as well, but you talked about the young guys. We
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: saw some of those young guys this year, Oscar Fisker,
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: mole Guard, Yanni Newman coming up, obviously a young guy. Uh,
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of there's a lot of guys you
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: know that are in this organization. You think Coachelle are here,
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: but you mentioned the young guys and wanting to be
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: a part of something from the ground up up. How
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: how do you see your role with some of those
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: young players and what would you tell fans about what
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: you as a guy that understands a lot more about
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: the young talent in the system that you've seen, whether
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: in Coachella, guys up and down or guys currently here.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so you see the talent that they have.
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: A lot of times you get guys that are draft
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: picks and they have that young talent, and then it's
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: how do you utilize that and how do you maximize
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: that and how do you get those guys to feel
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: comfortable with their game playing at the NHL level, because
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: it is a big jump coming from the AHL to
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: the NHL. And you you look at these guys and
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: you see they're great people. They want to be there,
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: they want to be in the NHL, they want to
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: be a part of this organization, they want to be contributing.
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: And it's then it's looking at how do you how
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: do you do that and how do you get those
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: guys to that point? So for me, I think I've
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: had to go through that process. I started in American League,
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: played in the East Coast for a while, even had
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: to work my way all the way up. So I
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: was trying to take pieces from every guy that I
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: had played with and try and pull Okay, what's gonna
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: work for me? How's this going to improve my game?
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: How can I get to a point where my game's optimize.
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: So then I'm looking at these guys coming in and
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: it's like, how do I try and give them enough
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: guidance and tell them about my experiences or show them
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: or lead by example in the way that I carry
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: myself or take care of myself, or train or work
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: on the ice. All those things are huge, I think
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: for just establishing a good culture and trying to help
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: those guys get to be the best that they can be.
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: And if if I can do that, I feel like
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: that would make me feel great and hopefully that would
• 52:42
  Speaker 5: make them better players and hopefully make them feel great
• 52:44
  Speaker 5: about their games.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Tell us about Seattle. You made no bones about your
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: social media. From what I understand, you're showing you were
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Actually you're not even a tourist. You were the tour
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: guide for the area around here, whether it be Seattle
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: or the hiking trails and so on and so forth.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: What are the area of the city. You definitely did
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: some exploring after the season. How much did that mean
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: to you?
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was big. Not knowing a ton about Seattle
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: coming in. I didn't have a ton of chances to
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: do that while the season was on, so it kind
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: of took the opportunity after the season to get out explore,
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: see what the city had to offer, kind of checked
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: out most aspects of the city, spent some time in Ballard,
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: went to Bellevue, Kirkland, saw the great neighborhoods, talked to
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: some great people, a couple pizza joints, love a good
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: pizza nice. Were just able to kind of get out,
• 53:35
  Speaker 5: get some good coffee, and then went on a hike
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: to Twin Falls that was a highlight. Got on Lake
• 53:42
  Speaker 5: Union in a hot tub boat that was really fun.
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: Got to see the city from a different angle. So
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: all those things were huge, and kind of just exploring
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: the city, seeing what it has to offer and realizing
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: that it is an exceptional city with great fans, great people,
• 53:55
  Speaker 5: and a spot I wanted to be long term.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Tell you the hot tub thing? Did you do? The
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: hot tub on Lake Union?
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: Is that right? Was that the highlight?
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah? That was definitely the highlight or one of the highlights.
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: That was fun. I think the water was I don't
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: all forty five degree, I felt like, but jumped in
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: and jumped in a few times, but then got back
• 54:15
  Speaker 5: in the hot top boat. It was it was one
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: O one or one O two, So it's definitely hot enough.
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: I love I love that.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: Along the way, Uh the uh, listen, the fans are excited.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: What would you say about you know, and you're gonna listen.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: You're kind of in that position now to recruit, right,
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: like free agencies coming up, you know, there's everyone in
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: the league has a no movement clause. I'm sure you
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: have one now I think you do. Uh, like everyone's
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: got that new movement clause. So what would you tell
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: guys around the league as they say, well, what about Seattle,
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: whether it be facilities, the city, the fans, the climate
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Pledge arena, the practice facility, what would you tell because
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: I think that's the thing that you guys are fighting
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: here right now right It's just perception and getting to
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: that next level. It's a chicken or egg if you
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: want good players, but good players want to go where
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: they can win. If they don't know something about a city,
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: maybe they don't know about the facilities. What's your sales
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: pitch to other players around the league?
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: I would say, as soon as you come into the city,
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: you see the beauty, you see the mountains, you see
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: the water. It's a very pretty city. There's great neighborhoods
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: to live in. You look at that, then you look
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: at the organization. They're willing to offer everything to you
• 55:16
  Speaker 5: to get your game to the best that it can be.
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: And I think that if guys start to take advantage
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: of that and realize that this is a place where
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: you can optimize and be the pass player you can be,
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: then guys would want to come here and be a
• 55:30
  Speaker 5: part of it. And I think it starts. You've got
• 55:32
  Speaker 5: to establish. It starts with the group that's there, and
• 55:35
  Speaker 5: you go to establish a good culture and a winning culture,
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: and guys want to go where oftentimes where things are
• 55:41
  Speaker 5: already established and it's already shown to be a winning team.
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: But you also need a group that's going to get
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: the organization to that point. So I think that the
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: group that's here is excited to do that, and I
• 55:53
  Speaker 5: think that anyone out there should be excited about going
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: to Seattle and playing their long term.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: A little birdie told me that the captain, Jordan Eberly
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: wrote a little little message to you on a stick.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: How much did that mean?
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah? That was cool.
• 56:08
  Speaker 5: I grew up watching him playing playing for the Oilers.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: Well did you tell him that too?
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: Did you tell him that?
• 56:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 56:13
  Speaker 5: I did. Yeah, Yeah, his head wasn't quite fitting through
• 56:16
  Speaker 5: the door that day, but he was able to sign
• 56:19
  Speaker 5: a stick for me, and yeah, I wrote a little
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: message about how he wanted me back and to be
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: a part of the team, which was means a ton.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: It's so cool to have.
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: Be playing with a guy that I grew up watching
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: and then have him trying to get me to come back.
• 56:34
  Speaker 5: Was was pretty special.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: Did I think the last I talked? Did Fleury give
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: you some strokes to kill? Give you some strokes that
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: I think you guys went to gamble stands? Did they
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: give you some strokes? Did you get something? I mean
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: that that's the way you're getting into a guy's kitchen
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: at that point. You gotta get some strokes if you
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: want him to come back. Did you did you they
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: take care of you in that regard?
• 56:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they gave me some strokes for sure. I was
• 56:54
  Speaker 5: playing with some rent I didn't have my clubs with me,
• 56:56
  Speaker 5: so I was playing with some rentals. So it's like,
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: you gotta get you guys, gotta give me something. But yeah, yeah,
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: I think I think Abs and Maddie kind of edged
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: us out at the first round of that one. They
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: kind of got us at the beginning. I was hoping
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: they were gonna throw me a ball in there trying
• 57:10
  Speaker 5: to get me to come back, but no, they're competitors
• 57:12
  Speaker 5: and they fought it all the way through.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: I love that along the way, maybe my callaway guys
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: are listening right now. If they are, we'll try to
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: get you hooked up a little bit, although you can
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: probably afford some new sticks. Listen. Congratulations. I think it's
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: this is a great thing for the crack and it's
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: a great thing for you as well. It's a great
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: I think for nothing else, Bobby, it's a great sign
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: for the organization that someone that could have just real fast.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: I'm so I kept it along. Why did you decide
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: not to go to free agency? Did July first? What
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: made that decision for you?
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: It's hard because I think you anybody who looks at
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: it thinks like, Okay, you get to free agency, there'll
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: be all these teams offering, But at what point is
• 57:53
  Speaker 5: it enough? Like, at what point do you want to
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: be Like? This is a spot, this is all I've wanted.
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: This is a spot that has every thing to offer
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: as an organization that can get you to the best
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: that can be, has a tunnel potential ahead of it,
• 58:06
  Speaker 5: has great people, has great fans, It's an exceptional city.
• 58:10
  Speaker 5: There's all these pieces that are there that why would
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: you ask for anything else? And if a team's willing
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: to commit to you long term and give you a
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: chance to be the best player you can be, which
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: is everything that I want in my hockey career. It's
• 58:25
  Speaker 5: pretty hard to say no to that. So I'm super
• 58:27
  Speaker 5: excited and I think it was a no brainer to
• 58:29
  Speaker 5: end up in Seattle.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: We love hearing that. Congratulations, welcome back. Fans are excited.
• 58:34

• 59:32
  Speaker 2: Uh right, Thanks, Bobby McMahon, you said something interesting to me.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: How could you not like that guy? It's I think
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: he's got a chance to be a real face of
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: the organization and the franchise. To be honest with you,
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: I really do. I think he's got a very very
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: good chance, uh to be that, to be that guy.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: And you know, along with Brandon Montour and some other guys.
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: But the personality, the leadership, the you know, just wanted
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: it wants to be here, just wants to be here.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: And that's a good thing, you know, Like all the
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: stuff from the audit that we heard and all that,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: he wants to be here, and that's the most important thing.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: And I think when you listen to why he wants
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: to be here, in the belief in the organization and
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: ownership and management. God, I saw something a minute ago.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I do this.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: I go down the road of looking at some stuff
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: on social media Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, what have you? Solo team?
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: Horrible ownership? Does that sound like a guy that he
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: just signed for six years and could have signed anywhere?
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: Doesn't sound like he thinks it's horrible ownership. I don't know.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: I could be wrong. I want to get a little
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: college sports just for a second, for the final few
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: minutes of the segment. Couple things going on in college
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: athletics that are noted. Ross Dellinger from Yahoo wrote a
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: story a moment ago, and it's an interesting one because
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: the Protect College Sports Act, which is co sponsored by
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: Senators Ted Cruz from Texas and Senator Maria Cantwell from Washington,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: is being debated in the legislature right now back in Washington,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: d C. One of the things that is in there
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: that people are kind of discovering now is there is
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: a component of it that would basically stop any sort
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: of realignment for the near future or the foreseeable future. Now,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: before all my Wazoo fans friends get all fired up,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: going yeah, if you have dreams of someday becoming a
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: member of a power for a conference, First of all,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: I believe that ship is sailed, so I wish it hadn't.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: But I don't know if that's going to happen anytime
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: in our lifetime. But the ones that are interesting to
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: me the ACC is they've got a lot of members
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: of that conference that want to get the hell out. Clemson,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: Florida State, Miami all have dreams of being somewhere not
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: name the ACC. There's probably called Big twelve teams that
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: think that perhaps the Big Ten would be more there
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: like to their liking as well, and if this was
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: to go through, there would be no adding to the
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: Big Ten, there would be no adding to the SEC.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: It's what you see is what you get. Now, there's
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: so many different layers and so forth that they should
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: peel back the endion layer of the skin. There's a lot. Okay,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: there's a lot, but as far as the realignment part
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: of it, if that were to go away, because there's
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: talk about we'll do relegation and different things like that,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: there's so many different everyone's got. The relegation has been
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: talked about, as they have in soccer in most countries,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: not the not name the MLS. It's been talked about
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: that was the relegation in college athletics. It sounds cool,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: sounds fun. It's just not realistic because these contracts that
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: pay these schools billions of dollars, they're all based on
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: the member teams in the conference. God forbid, somebody has
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: a bad year. That's a marquee franch or marquee school
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: and they drop down. Then ESPN or Fox is going, well, wait,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: who whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. We didn't sign up for this,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: we didn't sign up for school A not being in
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: this conference in school B taking their place. This isn't
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: Chelsea replacing Tottenham, I don't know whatever whatever the soccer
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: now comparison would be. I mean, Tottenham almost did get relegated,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: right it's worth yeah, so that's that would be it,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: Like that's it's a different deal. It's just it's apples
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: and oranges. So yeah, Fox goes, well, wait a second,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: So Michigan just was awful this year in football, probably
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: because Kyle Whittingham decides after a couple of years to
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: leave and they hire another knucklehead to be the coach,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: like they had a last you know, with Sean Moore
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: or something. But let's just use Michigan. So Michigan now
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: is part of the MAC for a year, and Bowling
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: Green moves up, like come on, and you're gonna say, well,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: it never happened. Washington went only twelve guys. Anything could
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: happen in college sports it's not that so, but the
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: realignment part if that were to change, like Miami's ads
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: come out and said, yeah, we're positioning ourselves. We're going
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: to be a part of whatever.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: Oh you are.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, well maybe not. The other news that came out today,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: which I love and I absolutely love this the new
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: eligibility rules for the NCAA basically five to play, four
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: five years to play, four clock stars, sticking first practice,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: first time around the field, or when you're nineteen. Also,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: they're going to try to prohibit having professional players play,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: which has become an issue in basketball specifically, whether it's
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: the I mean the European element, A lot of these
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: schools recruiting these kids that played professionally Europe, Australia, what
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: have you. And I'm not throwing stones just at Danny
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: Sprinkle because he's got at least one, maybe two of
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: those guys. We've done the same thing at Wazoo. The
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: problem is our guy last year was awful, like someone
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: actually paid you to play somewhere like you were awful,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: like you might be. I don't think you start at
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: pou ups or in a D three school. That's how
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: bad this kid was. But there are guys. They're starting
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: to recruit these pro Come on, you cock at a
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: paycheck to play that sport. That's It's one thing if
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: you're a baseball player and you played a minor league
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: for a year or two and then like, I'm not
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: good at baseball, I'm gonna go back and play football, right,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: that's that's a different deal. You're proud if you're pro.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: You're a pro. But the problem is we'll see how
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: where that ends up going. But basically, they're trying to
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: keep guys that are in their mid to late twenties
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: out of college sports, which is a good to me,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: is a good idea because I know college sports have
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: termed pro as much as they have, but you don't
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: need that. The only problem with that is there are
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: exceptions for pregnancy, active duty military service as long as
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: the athlete does not participate in organized competition. And talk
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: about making sure that we'd been over backwards for one
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: school official religious missions, because the biggest defender of having
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: guys that are in their mid to late twenties play
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: sports forever has been BYU football. Yeah night. First of all,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: First of all, you graduate from high school, you're nineteen,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: because that does happen. Then you go on to two
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: year mission, you're twenty one, and you come back. Well,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: then you start your calendar, you're twenty five, twenty six,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: when you're done. This does nothing to help the problem.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: More and more, you just feel like everything about college
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: sports is broken, and no, I don't know the answer.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: Nobody knows the answer how to fix things. But every
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: day it feels like more things are broken than they're
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: fixed in college athletics. We'll come back quick daily power play.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: Then we'll get our soccer guys on. Coming up at

• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: can take somebody else off the list as far as potential,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: let me be I guess it's free agent coming to Seattle.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: Alex Tuck from the Buffalo Sabers, a sixty point guy,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: thirty goals, thirty assists last season, was going to hit
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: the market no more. Buffalo sent him to the Washington
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: Capitals in a sign in trade. Guy, sign in trades
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: like that's an NBA term I get to turn into
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: a hockey term these days too. Anyway, sign in trade
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: eight years, ten point five mil a year, so over
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: ninety million dollars for Alex Tuck, who is thirty years old.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you right now that contract is
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: not Travis is not going to age well. Now. Six
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: six years for a thirty year old McMahon, for example,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: you're kind of pushing it last couple year eight it's
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: not gonna age well. It seems a little seems a
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: little rich for my blood. But I would have liked
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: to see him here. He's not coming here. People will
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: be mad, that'll be. That's another thing for cracking Twitter
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: to get mad about. I got check with Fane earlier.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: Remember Fane used to just hate seahawk Twitter. I think
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: cracking Twitter is more toxic than seahawk Twitter. But well,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: but yeah, there'll be something for them to hate as well.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: Oh Canada, Oh, I'll be honest with you. I'm distracted here.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: I'm very distracted. To to one Switzerland leading Canada. They're
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: an extra time, they got about five and a half minutes.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: What's what's our Bosnia score? By the way, I'll get
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: back to hockey and its oh oh it's over, well
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: not over, but it's three to one Bosnia. That's good
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: for the US. Yeah, right, that means that's I think
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: that's who they play. I'm not entirely sure. Well, you
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: know what we'll find out at two o'clock, because we
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: got soccer Nerd one and Soccer Nerd two coming in.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: And I say that with all love and respect for
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: Jackson aka FIFA, Felts and Anderson Hurst. So that's one story.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: The other one we just at We have Bobby mc
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: matt at one o'clock. If you missed it, go ahead
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: and feel free to listen to the podcast later. Kraken
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: did announce today their preseason schedule. If you're so inclined,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: there will play only four you're love in this trap.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: Only four preseason games this year for people who know
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: Travis is the producer for the most of the cracking games. Beautiful.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: Only four preseason games, but eighty four regular season games.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: Now we've added two regular season games. This is a
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: very NFL like move, So the NFL should do well.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: NFL doesn't need to do any preseason games, but owners
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: make money on preseason games in the NFL, on local
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: media rights and so forth. That's why they do it.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: For anybody who thinks is for any other reason your nuts.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, I can tell you the Seahawk roster. I
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: might do that exercise next week. I can give you
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: a Seahawk roster right now, probably miss at most I'll
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: miss four guys. And I'm not the smartest guy in
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: the world. Because Greg could do that, Bob could do that,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: like all of us could do that. You don't need
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: preseason football anymore. But they took the one game away
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: added the regulars to go to seventeen, So three went
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: from four to three and sixteen to seventeen. For the NFL.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: The NHL is kind of doing the same thing. Four
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: preseason games, two at home, two away. They'll play home
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: games against Vancouver and Calgary. They'll play road games at
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: Calgary at Vancouver. So you're just kind of staying in
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: your own little region, your own little bubble. And the
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: final preseason game will be at Vancouver on the twenty
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: sixth of September. I thought for some reason that might
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: be the opening weekend of the NHL season, but obviously
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: it's not. I'll be coming back next week. Oh Canada,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: Oh great save, great save by the Swiss goalie. Oh
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: Canada's keeper awful by the way today, just awful. Should
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: be a foul, all right? But yeah, that's that you did.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: So six four preseason games, and away we go. Just
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: quick shameless self promotion coming up Friday, Mike Benton anchoring

• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: down update as well. May know now why I remember
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: we talked about this the other day, why he didn't
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: play here in Seattle. Hopefully he can play tomorrow. He
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: would be slotted to be in that game. The sounder
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: former U dub Star as well, he would be playing.
• 1:13:33

• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: chill Ams beat the Pirates yesterday, first game of a
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: three game set in the Steel City. Three to the final,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: Cole Young go ahead to run home run and the
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: seventh cal Raley also hit a home run, his first
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: since coming off the injured list. Randy Rosarina oh for four,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: but he did come back to the lineup. That's good
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: news for the MS. They'll send Brian Woo to the
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: mound tonight. Hopefully we get home Brian Woo on the
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: road and not roade Brian Woo because that has not
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: been good. Pirates Game two three forty later on today,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: we'll get to the World Cup in a second. We
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: have some finals. We'll get to all that in just
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: a couple of seconds. NBA NBA Draft Day two coming
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: up later on this afternoon. Day one of the NBA Draft.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: No real surprises early in the draft. Aj De bonds
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: to BYU goes number one to the Wizards. Darren Peterson
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: from Kansas. He'll probably tap out of a few games
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: with the Jazz with dehydration, fatigue or whatever else he
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: gets sick with all the time. Actually, if he ends
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: up being this, I'm gonna tell you right now, that
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: could be Kevin Durant's second overall pick, if he decides
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: he wants to play, or he could always just tap
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: out like he did against Arizona last year. We'll see
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Cameron Boozer three, Cable Wilson four, Keaton Waggler from Illinois
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: number five.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: Else, Austin re signed four year, one hundred and five
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: million dollar contract extension crack and announce that they will
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: play four preseason games, two on the road, two at home.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: The only opponents they'll see in the preseason Calgary in Vancouver.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: Remember it's only two or I'm sorry, only four preseason
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: games this year in the NHL. Thank god, they're playing
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: eighty four game regular season schedule. Very NFL like along
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: the way as well, speaking of World Cup, let's get
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: to our number three. Oh, nice, nice touch, Trav nice touch.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: All right, I need I needed a little bit of information.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: I mentioned this. I don't know if I mentioned to
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: Anders last night or somebody, both of you guys last night?
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: Was both of you guys last night? I think I
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: think by and large, Fox done a really nice job
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: broadcasting wise. Yeah, the fact you can watch games in
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: four K is pretty cool, depending on what service you
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: have and what your TV is. So, I mean, that's
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: that's incredible if you have that opportunity showing every game
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: every second. This is the first time I believe today
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: when with the two matches, conclude that we really had
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: some crossover games most of time they've been kind of standalone.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 4: Right, yeah, because pretty much what you do with this
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: third group stage day is you stack the games that
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: are inside each group so that nobody can mess their results. Okay, okay,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 4: so you know you like to like Week seventeen in
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: the end, are Week eighteen in the NFL?
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: Exactly?
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, that makes sense. So that's what we've had today.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: We'll get to the outcomes in a second. That's the
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: voice of one Jackson Felt. I used to know a
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: guy by the name of Anderson Hurst. He used to
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: work with us on this show. I haven't seen him
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: for months. How are you.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: I'm doing well. I'm doing well.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 8: You know, it goes in when you have a big
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 8: project like this, uh, and you're also taking care of
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 8: a four month old when your wife goes back to work.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 8: I'm unable to be there at all parts of the day.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 5: So I miss you too, if.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: That's what you were saying, and you're I didn't say
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: I was missing you, but no, I do miss it.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: I do no, I do miss And you're moving and
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: you're moving. You bought it, so like that's good. It's
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: good timing on your part. All right, let's let's uh,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: let's get to the let's get to the results from today, Fellas.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: There's two in there. I'll start with you Jackson before
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: I get to the one that really affects the US.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: Let me just let's let's go with Switzerland Canada. That
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: was for Group B, really Group B supremacy, and Switzerland
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: in Vancouver wins two to one. I'm not sure if
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: you could have a more disappointing result than that Canada
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: just happened.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a few points to this. The first point
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 4: is that Canada is playing in their home site. They're
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 4: training out of Vancouver, so they're playing in front of
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: the home fans in their home site, and they look
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 4: terribly and they just played not on the front foot
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 4: at all in front of their own fans, really disformed
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: way of soccer. You pretty much let Switzerland just jump
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 4: on you. And then Maxim Crepole, who's been obviously a
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 4: longtime MLS goalkeeper, probably the mistake of the tournament so far. Yeah,
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 4: because if you get a one to one result, Canada
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 4: on goal differential, win the group. But I mean that
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 4: that goal, the second Switzerland goal in the second half,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 4: that is abysmal by mixeedm Cupole of one of the
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 4: worst goalkeeping moments I have seen at this level of
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: a World Cup, in that kind of a moment in
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 4: a long time. That is flat out embarrassing for Canada.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, god, I can only for for you. I
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 4: just I hated it every Canadian like I hated it.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I think a good high school
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: goalie in this state makes that safe without a problem.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: Absolutely right, I think without a problem. H Andrews Jackson
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: and I were talking about Canada earlier in the in
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: the tournament, there's just something missing with them. I guess
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: it would be a simple thing called skill, but you know,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: but but that is I mean, how disappointing is that
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: for Canada? And what's next for Canada?
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean this is only their second World Cup appearance,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 8: so I think it's worth pointing out that, you know,
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 8: maybe we're used to seeing Canada, whether it's another sports, Olympics, hockey,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 8: other international sports are kind of a mainstay, but in
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 8: soccer they really haven't been. So they're kind of still
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 8: on the up and not in terms of trying to
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 8: really provide their country with something positive to get behind.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 8: But you can just tell that they they lean into it.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 8: They know that they're not going to be the most
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 8: skilled team in the tournament, but the fact that they god,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 8: they just can't even complete a five yard pass and
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 8: they're that high school team that plays for free kicks,
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 8: fouls you every time in the box, has a long
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 8: long throw specialist, which you never see in soccer. It's
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 8: just they try and do everything they can to just
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 8: nick a goal here and there. And it's honestly it's
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 8: ugly to watch, but some people are into that, so
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 8: it is what it is. But it is now super
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 8: disappointing for them because they're not guaranteed to play knockout
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 8: stage games in Canada anymore. They won't They possibly would
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 8: have to come to the US, which would be very
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 8: very tough on their part.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: That's odd. Yeah, like you're playing in that what are
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: the chances Jackson of that happened?
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: We know?
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: Is it because they finished in second and their high
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 4: high chances? Anders is right. I mean, we'll see what
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 4: that round of thirty two haven't gone into where they
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 4: are on there. I think their spot in the bracket
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 4: is actually already set, so actually we can now that
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 4: I think about it, look up and see where the
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 4: Group A, sorry, Group B runner up is going to play.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: So let me get that for you here in just
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: a moment. A.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, let me just jump in and just say
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 8: while you're looking that up, Jackson, it's what you get
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 8: for finishing second in your group when you have Switzerland,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 8: Qatar and Bosnia of all the teams to face.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 5: Okay, just like, come on, guys.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: So there it is.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be this Sunday, June twenty eighth. It's the
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 4: Group A winner or sorry, the Group B runner up
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 4: versus the Group A runner up, and that will take
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 4: place at Los Angeles Stadium, so they do have to
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 4: come south to La.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, how bad is it? All right, let's
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: get to that. Let's get to the headline. That would
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: be what's and this is so odd to say this.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: The headline would be what took place today at Luminfield
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: And not because it's not headline because it took place
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: at Luminfield Sales Soccer staying withever that we're calling it
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: these days. But it's the headline because it has ramifications
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: for the US, which plays its final group stage game tomorrow.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: For people don't know they've already won the group stage.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: They're in. Here we go, they're in. They're into the
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: round of thirty two. So tomorrow when they play Tricky,
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: it means nothing in a sense. But so we're waiting
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: for that. But what we're waiting to find out is
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: who we will see the US that is in the
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: round of thirty two.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 4: Jackson, Bosnia and Herzegovina. That will be very, very very likely.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 4: The opponent for the United States July first, five pm
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 4: at the Stadium in Santa Clair that we all know
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 4: is Levi's and they got a big win over Katar today.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 4: But listen, Qatar is probably bottom three teams in this
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 4: entire tournament. I don't put any stock into a three
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 4: to one win Bosnia. I mean, Anders can chime into
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 4: they're fine, They're fine, but they're they're not anything close
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: to the United States, who should have Christian Polisic back.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 4: He's back in full training. And I look at this
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 4: for the United States is just keep it going, don't
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 4: you know. Don't let the train stop with a weird
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 4: loss to Turkey. A keep moving, and I have no
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 4: doubt that this team can get past Bosnia. They don't
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 4: from what I saw today in Seattle. They don't scare
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 4: me at all.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: Anders.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I think that's kind of the way to
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 8: look at it. You know, anything can happen in knockout
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 8: stage soccer, like a team can, whether the US, if
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 8: they don't get that early goal like they've gotten in
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 8: the first couple of games, they could, you know, the
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 8: more frustration that builds up. We've seen that with a
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 8: couple of other teams in this tournament. You know, Spain
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 8: cap Veradae is the first thing that comes to mind,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 8: an obvious situation where you expect Spain to blow them
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 8: out of the water, but because they don't get that
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 8: early goal, it's just for whatever reason, momentum builds, Momentum builds,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 8: and then once you get to extra time you can
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 8: kind of play for penalties, and then penalties anything can happen.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 8: So I'm not like marking this as a for sure win.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 8: If this is who the US face, as Jackson mentioned,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 8: it's more than likely that will be the case, or
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 8: have to be so many other results to make that change.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 8: So you're really looking at USA Bosnia on that round
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 8: of thirty two and kind of what he said, just
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 8: do what you've been doing right, Trust, keep trust the process,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 8: I guess, is what you could say. But I think
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 8: the big thing for this Turkey game is you're gonna
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 8: you're gonna want to kind of keep as close to
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 8: your starting eleven that you're gonna want to use in
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 8: that round of thirty two as possible, so that they
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 8: get more time playing together they can kind of build momentum,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 8: build some team chemistry because we've seen it so much
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 8: with international soccer, they don't get to play a bunch together.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 8: And with some of some of the other bigger countries,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 8: you know, Argentina, France, Spain, they all have players that
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 8: play at clubs together, so they all they know each
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 8: other and they've played on the same national team for
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 8: a long period of time. That isn't the case with
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 8: this US team. It's a it's a bunch of different
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 8: guys from a bunch of different clubs. And yes, Murricya
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 8: Postino has them playing like a team right now, but
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 8: the more time you can play together on the pitch
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 8: is the way to go. So I wouldn't do like
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 8: a full player your entire bench against Turkey because it
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 8: doesn't matter. You want to, you know, as much as
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 8: you can play the guys that you want to start.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 8: Obviously yellow cards and injuries are taken out of that.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 8: That definitely you want to rotate in that area, but
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 8: playing almost as much as you can. If that starting
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 8: eleven that you want to have, I think would be
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 8: the right move.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 3: What do you do you play?
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: So tomorrow's match at seven o'clock in Santa Clara Jackson,
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: do you play seven of your eleven and the four
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: guys that have the yellow cards? You don't play right
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: and for Ale ton't know if you if you accumulate
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: two yellow cards in the three matches in the group stage,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: then you're sitting out the next match, which would be
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: the round of thirty two. You don't want to do that,
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: so you don't want to risk a yellow card. It
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: can happen unintentionally. Yeah, so you don't want to risk that.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: I would assume those guys you sit them.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 4: So everything you just said, Ian, let me just quickly
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: say we think so. FIFA has put up a page
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 4: on the yellow card rules situation for this tournament, and
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 4: as Andrews and I have been texting for the last
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 4: hour and a half, we are so furious with FIFA
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 4: for the lack of clarity in their yellow card rules page,
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 4: because the exact terminology that FIFA have in this is
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 4: very uncommunicative, to say the least. So basically what they've
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 4: done is in previous World Cups they have that situation
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 4: where back to back yellow cards you're suspended for the
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 4: next one that got wiped after the quarterfinals previously. Now
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 4: they're wiping it after the group stage. But the exact
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 4: terminology they have on this page makes it very unclear
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 4: if by when they say okay, now we're also wiping yellows,
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 4: wiping single yellow cards after the group stage, it's very
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 4: unclear if that means if players get a yellow card
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 4: in match in group stage, match day two and then three,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 4: are they or are they not suspended for the round
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 4: of thirty two. This page that FIFA has created does
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 4: not make that clear whatsoever, and anders is his his.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 4: You know, I think he's right that no, that they
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 4: are wiped or sorry they are not wiped. If you
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 4: get back to back yellows, you are suspended. I have
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 4: no freaking idea because FIFA has been completely unclear. I
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 4: have an email out to a FIFA person and hopefully
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 4: they get back to me with some more clarity, but
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 4: that changes everything from Risio Pochatino to start the guys
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 4: who have yellow cards or not.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: So who knows.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: Andrews Jackson sent an angry email to FIFA. How long
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: until he gets that response.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 8: A considering our stuff that happened before the tournament, probably
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 8: quite a bit. But Yeah, to my understanding, the wording
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 8: that is used in the website that Jackson is referring
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 8: to says single yellow cards are wiped. So in for instance,
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 8: if you have a yellow card in the first three
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 8: games and then you get one in the round of
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 8: thirty two, you are not suspended for the following match, right,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 8: So the single yellow card is wiped after the group stage.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 8: But if you emulate one in the first three games,
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 8: or theory, the first two games, and then you get
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 8: one in the third game, you still have to serve
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 8: that suspension in the round of thirty two. So that's
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 8: that's my understanding of the rule that would make the
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 8: most sense to FIFA. I was pretty surprised, uh, you know,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 8: kind of hearing that they were going to add that
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 8: second you know, yellow card reset. But I think I
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 8: think obviously the teams know this rule, so they know
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 8: what's going on, and they've talked about it a bunch
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 8: of Q so I would assume that that would mean
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 8: that that is definitely something in play here for the
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 8: last game.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 4: Whether I get the email back from FIFA or not.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 4: I think we get the answer to the question when
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: we see the lineup for the United States tomorrow. Yeah,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 4: when when that, when that comes out at six o'clock.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 4: If Tyler Adams and if Flogan Florian Balgin are in there,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 4: then we know that they they have no issue whatsoever.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 4: But if they're not in there, then I think it's clear.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 4: That's what's ridiculous, is that is that this is.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 3: What we have to go off of.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: Well be and an ideal world. The most important thing
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: I think Andrews mentioned too, right Jackson, is the ideally
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: that is what happens, and you're able to play your
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: starting eleven, but probably rest them at some point, yes, right,
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: like your starting eleven some reps. Get them in there,
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: get them sharp, and then get them ready for July first,
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: for the round of thirty two, and then we go.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: So again, tomorrow means nothing outside of whatever happens yellow
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: card accumulation wise, So let's just look ahead because the
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: main game here is this. Yes, we want to see
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: Team USA back in Seattle on Monday, July sixth, in
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: the round of sixteen. And I've asked you this before,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: but now that you have a better handle, Jackson and
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: Anders jump in afterwards, a little better handle on who
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: they're going to see more than likely Bosnia. What are
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: the odds? What are the percentage chances you think we're
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: going to see a team here called Team USA on
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: Monday July six I'm.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 4: Going about seventy percent now, I think maybe even higher
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 4: to be Bosnia. I just have I have full confidence
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 4: that they're going to take care of I think an
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 4: inferior opponent. And then you're coming here on July sixthy
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 4: in and you could be facing a Belgium in Egypt,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, and the list is long and Ivory Coast Ecuador.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 3: Your Egypt.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't Egypt in a sense be a marquee matchup with
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: them training in Spokane. Yeah, they've got a superstar.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 4: Even Belgium would be awesome, right, Yeah, Yeah, there's a
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 4: lot of either way. I was gonna give the long list,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 4: I don't even need to. I'll make it very simple.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 4: When the United States and I think they will play
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 4: in Seattle round to sixteen on July six for a
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 4: trip to the quarterfinals, which is the height of the
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 4: program in the modern era. They got there in two
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 4: thousand and two, haven't been back since or before that
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 4: third place in the inaugural World Cup in nineteen thirty.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: Let's just wipe that.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 4: So they have a chance to then get to the
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 4: height of the program the quarterfinals, and they will be
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 4: favored Ian against every single team they could possibly face
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 4: in that game in Seattle.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: That's insane. One of the chances are here in cl Yeah.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 8: I think it's pretty high. I mean, if things go
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 8: the way they should, which we know doesn't always happen,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 8: then the US should win that game. But like I said,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 8: there's so many ways that Bosnia can, you know, frustrate
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 8: the US that they have a decent, you know, long
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 8: tenured striker. I'm not saying that's a for sure thing,
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 8: but do your job. You don't have to do anything
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 8: special to get by these guys. I think Australia is
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 8: probably a better team than Bosnia. I'd even say Paraguay
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 8: is a better team than Bosnia. Help even Turkey probably
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 8: would be a better team than Bosnia at this point.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 8: So I think you definitely are looking at a very
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 8: high likelihood that the US is back in Seattle for
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 8: the round of sixteen match. And I think I mostly
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 8: agree with Jackson whoever they would face, and.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 3: That would also be favored.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 8: But like you said, that's kind of I don't say
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 8: the end goal because the US has higher expectations than
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 8: the round of sixteen at this point, but for US
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 8: locally here that's the ideal scenario.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: I can't even fathom that, Like, I mean, I can
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: the scenario playing out, what it would.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: Be like, Oh my gosh, I mean, you know, it
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 3: would be interesting.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: It'll be five o'clock game, Yeah, it is.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 4: It'll be so different than it was for the Australia
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 4: game on the nineteenth because the Australia game on the
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 4: nineteenth was such a celebration of the United States playing here,
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 4: the World Cup here and all that, people had had
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 4: travel plans for months to see this game. You had
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 4: what a good eight thousand Australian fans, you know, packing
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 4: the stadium. I don't think it'll be anything like I
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 4: think it'll be a far more serious, competitive, intense, less
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 4: a celebration and more just the furious intensity to get
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 4: to the quarterfinals. In this game, it'll be against a
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 4: better opponent than Australia. I think that's almost assured. And
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 4: I have to look at the schedule, but I think
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 4: by that point we will know who the quarterfinals opponent
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 4: would be.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: Right now, it's likely to be Spain.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 4: But if somebody upsets Spain, then you could be facing
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 4: another inferior team in the quarterfinal, which, as Andrews is
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 4: talking about, the expectation is right now sort of okay,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 4: the expectation is quarterfinal.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: Have they changed? Has expectations for the US changed?
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 3: Absolutely?
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 4: For me? For me, the expectation was round to sixteen.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 4: Now the expectation is quarterfinal. And my god, if Spain
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 4: get upset, if they have another bad offensive day like
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 4: they had earlier in this tournament and they get upset
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 4: in the knockout round somewhere and they win their group,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 4: they get upset, then the United States could very easily
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 4: be looking at a semi final, which would just be
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 4: absolutely insane.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: Andrews, have your expectations changed?
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 8: I don't want to be that guy. But I also
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 8: was kind of the one to say that the semifinal
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 8: run was on the table before this tournament started. But
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 8: in terms of expectation, I mean, I'm just looking at
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 8: things from a macro point of view. Jackson can do
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 8: all the mapping out of trying to find the best,
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 8: you know, opponent of the US face.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 5: I just look at it this way.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 8: I don't think there's eight teams that have had that
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 8: have looked better than the United States do their first
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 8: two games. So just by saying that they are one
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 8: of the eight best teams in the tournament, they should
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 8: get to the quarterfinal. Of course, you never know how
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 8: the draw is going to play out. There could be
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 8: multiple really good teams on your side. There also could
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 8: be a couple upsets where you get an easier pass.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 8: But I'm just looking at it from the macro point
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 8: of view. The US has been at least one of
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 8: the best eight teams, if not possibly even one of
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 8: the best four teams in this entire tournament.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: Germany, Argentina, France. Who's the true wagon right now?
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: I think France.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 4: I don't think anybody's looked better than France so far,
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 4: but Argentina's looked really good. They just haven't played anybody,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 4: I don't think, but France I mean Mbape is on point.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 4: That entire team is right now, really on point. You
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 4: could make a case, I think for Argentina, but France
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 4: just has the I think, the higher level of opponents
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 4: so far.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 3: That's the only difference.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: Andrews, go ahead and make the point for your wife's
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: home country.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll just.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 8: Say I don't think France has played anyone either. I
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 8: think Germany, if anyone, has kind of shown the most,
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 8: which is a surprise to me. I didn't consider them.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 8: England stumbled yesterday, so that really kind of took them
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 8: out of the picture for me in terms of But
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 8: you know, again, you can always find it later in
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 8: the knockout stages. It's tournament soccer, guys, it's not I know.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 8: I just made the point of the US looking the best,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 8: but that's not how it plays out. A lot of
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 8: the time. It's about, you know, doing what you can
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 8: to continue to move on, right, And I think as
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 8: long as Argentina are in this with the greatest player
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 8: of all time playing at still for somehow, he just
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 8: turned thirty nine today, by the way, it's still playing
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 8: at this level. He's It's it's hard to count really
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 8: anyone else out, and I still think that Argentina's team
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 8: is more balanced than France, so they still have the
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 8: firepower France does, but Argentina has a more balanced team,
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 8: so I'll say that for now. But Brazil also today
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 8: has a I think they the second game really kind
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 8: of proved some doubters wrong as well. So there's a
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 8: lot of really good teams that are still left in
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 8: this tournament, so you can kind of figure out what
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 8: happens after the group stage in.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: Brazil playing Scotland here in just a few minutes Tolf
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: of the hour at three o'clock this after in Scotland's
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: already got what they're one oh one? Are they they
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: need to win? Do they need to draw? What was
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: Scotland need? They can actually advanced?
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 8: They absolutely they should be through, should be through. Even
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 8: the loss doesn't necessarily take them out of it either. Man,
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 8: Brazil Scotland in Miami.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, you saw the Scotland fans filling their baseball
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 4: stadium last night. It was just it was I mean, yeah,
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 4: you know that wherever they're traveling, it's amazing. I mean,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 4: I'll wrap it up with this.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: I just I think you know here in Seattle, even
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: like non soccer fans, just sports fans, just casual whatever it.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: It feels like this thing has become more popular, more important,
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: bigger than I think any of us than I imagine,
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: what about you, Jackson.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think a lot of that's because of the
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 4: United States and just how good the US has been.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 4: I think Andrews is right. We're easily one of the
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 4: top eight teams right now playing in this tournament. And
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 4: I think your casual American sports fan has seen that,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 4: they felt that, and I think you have the crowds.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 4: Everybody wants to be part of a party, right Nobody
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 4: wants to be left home while the party's going on.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 4: So right now, the United States soccer is a party,
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 4: and I think anybody, sports fan, casual, whatever, wants to
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 4: be part of the party. And this team is going
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 4: to make a run. I think they are going to,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 4: I think get to the quarterfinal, and you know they
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 4: could make a semi and that is going to be
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, if the semifinal would be at Friday, July
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 4: tenth at noon in Los Angeles, if they are playing
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 4: that game, I think that you have more people taking
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 4: off work on Friday July tenth than any single day
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 4: in American history. May Or and Maple Valley Open Day
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 4: that day so well that I can't wait for that action.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 4: Can't wait for that action, all right, Andrews final word
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 4: on what Jackson just talked about.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think if the US were getting people in
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 8: the door, the rest of the teams and stars and
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 8: you know, so it's definitely surpassed my expectations. But everything
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 8: else has, you know, gotten people to stay. I think
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 8: if you're a casual soccer fan in America, I hear
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 8: and you know, you watch the US whenever they play
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 8: at the World Cup, cool, whatever, and then kind of,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 8: you know, put it away for a little bit. You're
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 8: now seeing what you were missing when you don't do that.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 8: Because these amazing players Messi Ronaldo and Boppe halland Kine
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 8: Venissius Junior for Brazil, there's just so much firepower and
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 8: star power and all of them are showing up at
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 8: the perfect time at this giant World Cup, which I
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 8: think has been a huge success too. The expanded format
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 8: I had a lot of doubts about it has been
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 8: nothing short of amazing. So if the American team and
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 8: their success is what's getting you in the door, stay
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 8: for the rest of the world and what kind of
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 8: amazing talent that is on scale and watch some other games,
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 8: like I said, Brazil Scotland in Miami, watch that spectacle
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 8: that's about to start and will be very excited.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 3: I promised you.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: As you're on tonight, Yes we are.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 8: We're doing Mexico Checkia myself and Brad Evans I believe
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 8: is my analyst for the evening five point thirty pre
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 8: game six o'clock kickoff on nine Jr. And iHeartRadio app.

• 1:41:36
  Speaker 2: signing a star is not. Easy if you could just sign,

• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: didn't Sign bobby, McMahon Trade shane, right don't Trade shane.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: Right the only thing that will fix the perception of
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 2: the organization is if they. Win next couple weeks are
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 2: very important in that regard for. Sure but, yes they
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: got to. Win SO i don't want to insult, anybody but,
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: YEAH i do know how committed they are and how
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: hard they're. WORKING i just it's not. Easy just is
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: not easy at.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 3: All, okay.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: Feel, better feel? Better, Okay silver still dodging did not
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: say anything Different, ian he was a little bit more.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: CONCISE i thought with a twenty twenty nine is that
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: we're targeting he said. THAT i JUST i got a
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: different vibe from that conversation With Dan. Patrick it felt
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 2: very much like it's a done. Deal they're just going
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: through the process THEY i think the only thing that
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: holds it back is right now with the expansion is
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: the other.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 3: Owners of the.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: League and you know is does he have some, guys
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 2: does he have some people on the fence about voting
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: yes to get the necessary votes to EXPAND i think
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: that's probably the only question out. THERE i think with
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 2: the expansion fees being what they, are that they should
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: be able to get that. THROUGH i don't think that's an.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: ISSUE i don't think he would have gone down this
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: far down the road with what he said without thinking
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: they've got the votes in. Him but we'll find, out
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 2: probably probably in the, fall probably in the. Fault let's,
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: SEE i had the other. One somebody said, this which
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: is interesting when they do come, back if they do come,
• 1:43:25

• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: they're not going to do that. Dance this isn't going to.

• 1:43:39
