1:49
Speaker 4: own thing.
1:49
Speaker 2: You decide what the category is.
1:52
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well I'll take it. I will just
1:55
Speaker 1: say this. Those are the people that do that for
1:58
Speaker 1: a living. Those are men's men. I was so tired
2:03
Speaker 1: at the end of yesterday and my body was so sore,
2:06
Speaker 1: and I'm I've you know, got myself in a little
2:08
Speaker 1: better shape. I'm feeling good, but not good enough to
2:12
Speaker 1: do that for very long. Like if if I had
2:15
Speaker 1: a career change, that's one not the one I'm going
2:18
Speaker 1: to choose, because I couldn't do it two days in
2:20
Speaker 1: a row. Impossible. And I have a tractor to help
2:25
Speaker 1: with some of the heavy stuff.
2:26
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
2:26
Speaker 1: Still, it's just a lot. That is a lot. So yeah,
2:31
Speaker 1: I got a lot of stuff done yesterday, thanks to
2:34
Speaker 1: say some time.
2:35
Speaker 4: Though, by the way, a lot of different ways you
2:37
Speaker 4: could have really cut out a lot of time, made
2:39
Speaker 4: everybody in the family happy. You just take the tree
2:42
Speaker 4: that fell in your backyard and put it in the house,
2:45
Speaker 4: has your Christmas tree.
2:47
Speaker 1: We didn't have to chop it up at all.
2:48
Speaker 4: You're just like, hey, bear, take one end, yeah, and
2:52
Speaker 4: then just can't take the other end.
2:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, just exactly, and you just point yeah a little bit. No, no, no,
3:01
Speaker 1: they're going to block the television left. Yeah, that's a
3:05
Speaker 1: good idea.
3:05
Speaker 4: Put it over here in this corner, and you didn't
3:07
Speaker 4: have to chop up anything. You just take it from outdoors,
3:11
Speaker 4: across your property, locking your road, and just turn it
3:15
Speaker 4: into a festive Christmas tree. Old tann and bomb is here.
3:19
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a great idea. I don't know what I
3:23
Speaker 1: would do with the other one hundred and uh, I
3:27
Speaker 1: don't know. One hundred and ninety five feet that wouldn't
3:29
Speaker 1: fit in the house. I never thought about math.
3:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, well a roof, I mean there's a roof problem. Yeah,
3:38
Speaker 5: iof No, I don't I think every house today then
3:44
Speaker 5: we talk about this during the playoffs.
3:46
Speaker 1: Every house today should have have one of.
3:48
Speaker 2: Those, especially around the holidays.
3:50
Speaker 4: Or maybe we said stadiums. Oh that was making fun
3:53
Speaker 4: of Detroit.
3:54
Speaker 1: I think it was. Yeah, anyway, I'll get on that
3:58
Speaker 1: because I don't really like my roof, so when I
4:00
Speaker 1: do replace it, I will probably I put a retractable
4:03
Speaker 1: onoden so I could put a two hundred foot tall
4:06
Speaker 1: tree or so inside. I mean that's a lot of decorating.
4:09
Speaker 2: See, now you're thinking outside the box a.
4:10
Speaker 1: Lot about time. Yeah, you wasted a lot of time.
4:14
Speaker 2: In that box for a long time, all.
4:16
Speaker 4: That wood shopping, because that's what our ancestors would have done, right,
4:19
Speaker 4: I gotta think forward, be progressive. You could have solved
4:23
Speaker 4: a lot of problems all in one fell swoop.
4:25
Speaker 1: And then after the holidays, then I could use it
4:27
Speaker 1: as fire. Yeah.
4:29
Speaker 4: I just skipped a very important extent recycling.
4:33
Speaker 1: Not think about that, not even for a second. It's
4:36
Speaker 1: pretty sad. Yeah, it is very sad. I apologize Santa
4:40
Speaker 1: for not thinking of you first and foremost. But yeah,
4:43
Speaker 1: it was a lot. I really think you guys should
4:47
Speaker 1: have called in yesterday and came out that. Yeah, it
4:51
Speaker 1: would have been really helpful. I mean you got it
4:55
Speaker 1: all done, yeah, got it all done. Yeah, I mean
4:58
Speaker 1: it's not all split that stuff going to take it
5:01
Speaker 1: won't be ready to burn till next year. Maybe you know,
5:05
Speaker 1: because it's green still, it's it wasn't supposed to go down,
5:09
Speaker 1: so it's but it's bucked up into some smaller chunks
5:13
Speaker 1: and set in a different pile where it's not one
5:16
Speaker 1: of the piles that I'm splitting and using for this
5:18
Speaker 1: year's heat.
5:19
Speaker 4: Well that's just said you could go through all that
5:21
Speaker 4: work and go through I guess that's terrifying day thing.
5:23
Speaker 4: I mean, I remember in Arizon when I lived in
5:25
Speaker 4: Arizona was my first house that I ever owned, and
5:28
Speaker 4: I every night that the wind would pick up because
5:30
Speaker 4: we'd have monsoons there's monsoon season in Arizona, and I
5:34
Speaker 4: was sure that the palm trees that were on my
5:37
Speaker 4: property were going to snap in half as I'm laying
5:40
Speaker 4: there at night and either crash into my house or
5:43
Speaker 4: a neighbor's house. And it really like bothered me. So
5:45
Speaker 4: that's the I think that's the biggest issue is to
5:48
Speaker 4: get through a day like that, go through the fear
5:51
Speaker 4: of it, like what's going what's this storm going to do?
5:54
Speaker 4: Do all of that work to clean it up, and
5:56
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, we have another storm last night. Yeah,
5:58
Speaker 4: now I don't think it was as powerful, but man,
6:01
Speaker 4: did it rain.
6:03
Speaker 2: And just like slamming the house more today?
6:06
Speaker 1: Oh jeez, Yeah, it's uh, it's been. It's a thing.
6:10
Speaker 1: I mean, now, these trees that we have. You've been
6:12
Speaker 1: out there, you've seen some of these trees. I mean you,
6:14
Speaker 1: you know, you and I together couldn't wrap our arms
6:16
Speaker 1: around the trunk. Compared it to Sequoia yesterday.
6:20
Speaker 6: Said that you needed to just cut a hole and
6:23
Speaker 6: like make an arch and just drive through it.
6:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, great for tourism. Yeah. Uh So that was that
6:29
Speaker 1: night that it fell down. I mean it literally. I'm
6:32
Speaker 1: When I say literally, I mean literally the second my
6:35
Speaker 1: head touched the pillow bong, I heard like the the
6:40
Speaker 1: crashing of this thing hitting the ground and I'm like, what,
6:43
Speaker 1: My head's not that heavy. I don't know why I
6:45
Speaker 1: made that big of a noise, and I knew it
6:48
Speaker 1: was a tree that fell. Now, it didn't sound like
6:50
Speaker 1: it crushed anything when it landed, so I kind of
6:54
Speaker 1: thought it was it was gonna be Okay. Went out
6:56
Speaker 1: there shining the flashlight and it's not a greatly so
7:00
Speaker 1: I can't see real well what I'm shining at, but
7:02
Speaker 1: I can just see the tree laying down right where
7:06
Speaker 1: I parked my tractor right, and it's like, I typically
7:10
Speaker 1: the wind blows the other direction. That's kind of why
7:12
Speaker 1: it fell the way that it did because it's trees
7:14
Speaker 1: are not they're kind of built to a stand what
7:17
Speaker 1: the normal wind pattern is. So anyways, it I'm like,
7:20
Speaker 1: oh no, not on the track. It couldn't. If it
7:22
Speaker 1: would have wit a couple inches further, it would have
7:25
Speaker 1: like crushed the tractor, like the engine part of the
7:27
Speaker 1: tractor wouldn't have been good. So then I'm like, Okay,
7:29
Speaker 1: I gotta go out and see what's up here. Call
7:31
Speaker 1: the power company because our power goes underground from the
7:35
Speaker 1: transformer station to our house, but then it goes above
7:38
Speaker 1: ground right at the road and then just over to
7:40
Speaker 1: our house, which is fine most of the time. Unfortunately
7:43
Speaker 1: it did not. It was not fine. It ripped the
7:45
Speaker 1: power down. So we called the power company. Hey, you
7:47
Speaker 1: need to come out fix this if you can. And
7:50
Speaker 1: yet then I'm trying to figure out the generator and stuff.
7:52
Speaker 1: It's at ten thirty a night or whatever it was,
7:55
Speaker 1: and the wind is still whipping. I mean like you
7:58
Speaker 1: just kind of feeling like you're looking up at the trees.
8:01
Speaker 1: Every other second. It's like, don't not another one's coming down, right,
8:04
Speaker 1: because you do not want to be underneath anything coming
8:07
Speaker 1: down out of the trees. At that point, it was
8:09
Speaker 1: a catch it.
8:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what we talked about yesterday. Why didn't you
8:12
Speaker 6: just hold the tree up?
8:13
Speaker 7: Oh?
8:14
Speaker 1: I didn't you?
8:14
Speaker 4: Just you know, I've seen guys, I've finished. I've seen
8:17
Speaker 4: guys spend plates and keep every single one of them up.
8:19
Speaker 4: You could have just the lady like a lot of
8:24
Speaker 4: them are going to fall, but if the one does fall.
8:27
Speaker 1: You you be there to catch it.
8:28
Speaker 4: People are talented. If I don't know, I just think
8:31
Speaker 4: a good dad would do that. Yeah, yeah, I definitely
8:33
Speaker 4: dropped the ball on that one. At least, yeah, I
8:38
Speaker 4: need to step my game at least, actually, and I
8:40
Speaker 4: get that out of this. At least you're finally acknowledging
8:43
Speaker 4: your failures. Yeah, yeah, last you know, yesterday we had
8:46
Speaker 4: a lot of hard work to do to pick up
8:47
Speaker 4: your slack.
8:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, so about that.
8:50
Speaker 4: So anyway, at least we at least you've learned a lesson, yes,
8:54
Speaker 4: out of all a lot a couple of lessons actually,
8:56
Speaker 4: And now we can move on.
8:57
Speaker 2: And now you can just pay for my therapy session.
8:59
Speaker 1: Good good job group.
9:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks guys, we needed that intervention. Yeah, hands in team.
9:06
Speaker 4: All right, Well, welcome into the radio show. We are
9:09
Speaker 4: here to talk sports. All three of us back together
9:12
Speaker 4: here for a four hour extravaganza. We'll take it till
9:15
Speaker 4: ten o'clock. I'll map out that plan we have for
9:18
Speaker 4: today's show for you here in a moment, But I
9:21
Speaker 4: sort of wanted to start with Another week of the
9:23
Speaker 4: National Football League season gets going tonight, Seahawks coming off
9:27
Speaker 4: their most impressive win the entire nation. Talking about how
9:31
Speaker 4: good the Seahawks looked, Chris Collinsworth going as far on
9:34
Speaker 4: the broadcast Sunday of saying, put the Seahawks at the
9:37
Speaker 4: front of the line in your discussions of best teams
9:40
Speaker 4: in the National Football League.
9:41
Speaker 1: Yesterday. We always it's an annual tradition.
9:45
Speaker 4: We do a Green Jacket draft once the NFL trading
9:48
Speaker 4: deadline is over and all the pieces are set for
9:52
Speaker 4: the rest of the season, so about the halfway mark
9:55
Speaker 4: of the year, making our selections on who's going to
9:58
Speaker 4: be the Super Bowl pick, and the Seahawks the team
10:01
Speaker 4: we follow here locally, the team you follow most likely
10:04
Speaker 4: if you're in your car is they were the sixth
10:08
Speaker 4: overall pick in our draft, Chris Kid taking them sixth overall,
10:13
Speaker 4: And so I've just you know, we've got ESPN power
10:17
Speaker 4: rankings have them at number one in the National Football
10:20
Speaker 4: League right now. We picked them sixth, Chris Collins says,
10:24
Speaker 4: put them at the top of the line. I mean,
10:26
Speaker 4: here we are following them on a daily basis. That
10:29
Speaker 4: usually makes you as a show more apt to rank
10:32
Speaker 4: them higher.
10:33
Speaker 1: Are we ranking them too low? Did we pick them too.
10:36
Speaker 4: Low in our draft yesterday for them to come off
10:40
Speaker 4: the board at sixth? And that's a pretty good spot.
10:42
Speaker 4: There's some really good competition this year. I don't think
10:44
Speaker 4: there's a runaway. They're the best team in the National
10:46
Speaker 4: Football League.
10:48
Speaker 1: But I wonder if.
10:50
Speaker 4: We did go too low taking the Seahawks sixth overall
10:54
Speaker 4: in terms of Super Bowl favorites, Oh.
10:57
Speaker 1: I would probably say no, I don't think it would
11:00
Speaker 1: be too low. If it is too low, it wouldn't
11:03
Speaker 1: be by much. I don't know if I could necessarily
11:06
Speaker 1: put them. I mean the Eagles have I mean really
11:08
Speaker 1: early in the season anyways, they didn't look all that great,
11:10
Speaker 1: even though defending champs but there still is something that
11:13
Speaker 1: goes with we just watched this team with mostly the
11:17
Speaker 1: same players run the table, I mean kill it during
11:21
Speaker 1: the regular season and then you know, find ways through
11:24
Speaker 1: the postseason and the unknown of can the Seahawks team. Now,
11:28
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing more often than not out of the
11:30
Speaker 1: Seahawks is I think this team could go out. I
11:33
Speaker 1: know this team can go out and play with anybody. Now,
11:35
Speaker 1: whether or not they can go pull it off, we've
11:39
Speaker 1: seen against you know, Tampa Bay for example, that they
11:42
Speaker 1: couldn't didn't quite get it. Now, a couple of mistakes
11:44
Speaker 1: or a couple of bounces go different here and there,
11:47
Speaker 1: maybe that one turns out a little bit different. I
11:49
Speaker 1: do think you still have, you know, to figure out
11:52
Speaker 1: a way to come out on top of your division. Now,
11:55
Speaker 1: ultimately you don't have to win the division to get
11:57
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple
11:59
Speaker 1: teams out of the division do. But no, I would
12:01
Speaker 1: think in when you're raiding, you know, teams like the Eagles,
12:05
Speaker 1: teams like the Buffalo Bills, teams like the Kansas City Chiefs,
12:09
Speaker 1: I think that those teams probably have a little bit
12:12
Speaker 1: even the Rams in our division. I think that they
12:14
Speaker 1: have a little bit more experience with this their core
12:19
Speaker 1: group of guys in the playoffs, and so I think
12:21
Speaker 1: it would be hard. You can make the argument, but
12:23
Speaker 1: it'd be hard for me to put them above those guys.
12:25
Speaker 4: Well, the National Football League is set up so that,
12:28
Speaker 4: of course they can beat anybody in the National Football
12:31
Speaker 4: League on any given Sunday. The question is have we
12:35
Speaker 4: seen enough? And it sounds like some people have, some
12:38
Speaker 4: people that get paid to analyze this for a living
12:42
Speaker 4: and make these statements they've seen enough. Have we seen
12:46
Speaker 4: enough to think that the Seahawks and a tournament against
12:49
Speaker 4: the best competition that the league has to offer, can
12:53
Speaker 4: they rattle off a three or four game winning streak.
12:56
Speaker 4: Can they beat all of the best competition, you know,
13:00
Speaker 4: in a sweep to get all the way to the
13:02
Speaker 4: Super Bowl and potentially win it. It's kind of strange,
13:06
Speaker 4: ashulely that I don't know if we felt that way
13:09
Speaker 4: at the beginning of the year here, even in Seattle.
13:12
Speaker 1: I don't know.
13:12
Speaker 4: I don't know if I heard many show hosts or
13:15
Speaker 4: analysts or read many articles even here in Seattle that
13:18
Speaker 4: said this team's got Super Bowl granitas, And yet maybe
13:23
Speaker 4: we need to catch up with the nation this time around,
13:26
Speaker 4: the best in the nation the nation, and acknowledge that, hey,
13:30
Speaker 4: the way they're playing right now, they can beat anybody,
13:33
Speaker 4: and they might be able to beat a parade of anybody's.
13:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I do agree, because I remember at the
13:38
Speaker 6: beginning of the season, Yeah, we talked about how we
13:40
Speaker 6: thought everybody was underestimating them and that, you know, and
13:44
Speaker 6: the conversation was, oh, they're going to get more wins
13:46
Speaker 6: than this, and we all agreed on that.
13:48
Speaker 4: Eight and a half was the Las Vegas spread, yeah,
13:51
Speaker 4: or the win total.
13:52
Speaker 6: And I think at one point they had it even
13:54
Speaker 6: a little bit lower than that, and then they increased
13:56
Speaker 6: it up to eight and a half. But people weren't
13:57
Speaker 6: very high on the moves the Seahawks made in the offseason,
14:00
Speaker 6: and they didn't have any proof that we made a
14:01
Speaker 6: better team, and so I think there was all this uncertainty,
14:04
Speaker 6: whereas we were more confident that we at least had
14:07
Speaker 6: a better team than.
14:07
Speaker 2: We had last year. And now I would agree.
14:10
Speaker 6: I do think we are slow to catch on with
14:14
Speaker 6: what they are saying nationally, and I wonder if part
14:16
Speaker 6: of that is because you kind of protect try not
14:18
Speaker 6: to be too biased, you know, thinking like, well, yeah,
14:21
Speaker 6: this team's good. But I also don't think I've been
14:23
Speaker 6: coming at it from a worrying about being too based perspective.
14:28
Speaker 6: I've just been going along with what's been happening each game.
14:30
Speaker 6: And then this last game, Yeah, they looked really good.
14:33
Speaker 6: Were the Commander's bad, Yes they were, but it was
14:36
Speaker 6: total domination.
14:37
Speaker 4: Nobody has looked better in a game this year at
14:40
Speaker 4: the National Football League the Seahawks looked against the Commanders. Yes,
14:43
Speaker 4: Exactually it was total domination. I think maybe where people
14:47
Speaker 4: are a little hesitant, even us, even in Seattle, is
14:51
Speaker 4: is what we're seeing in Sam Donald. Really what we're
14:54
Speaker 4: going to see for the rest of the year, right
14:55
Speaker 4: because we've never seen a full season as a profession,
14:59
Speaker 4: even as a collegiate. I mean, Sam Darnald didn't play
15:02
Speaker 4: against the competition that he faced at USC the way
15:06
Speaker 4: that he's playing right now against the best competition the
15:09
Speaker 4: world has to offer. And if this is Sam Donald,
15:13
Speaker 4: if we are observing what Sam Darnald has become and
15:17
Speaker 4: what Minnesota helped build him into, and then we stepped
15:20
Speaker 4: in at the exact right time to get him, I
15:24
Speaker 4: mean he is arguably the best quarterback in the National
15:27
Speaker 4: Football League the way that he's played in the first
15:29
Speaker 4: half of the season. So if there's a reluctance, I
15:32
Speaker 4: think to put the Seahawks at the front of the line.
15:35
Speaker 1: As Collinsworth suggests, they're in the line. If anybody's not
15:39
Speaker 1: aware of it, they're in the line. Front of the line.
15:43
Speaker 1: Clearly based off of our draft picks.
15:45
Speaker 4: The Chuck and Buck in the Morning Show doesn't put
15:49
Speaker 4: them at the front of the line. And yet if
15:52
Speaker 4: Sam Donald is what he's looked like in the first half,
15:56
Speaker 4: you better believe they can be at the end of
15:59
Speaker 4: the year of this line.
16:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I don't. I think it would be crazy
16:03
Speaker 1: to think they can't. And I don't necessarily agree with
16:08
Speaker 1: I understand the perspective or the idea of people will
16:11
Speaker 1: look at, well, where's your ceiling, where's your floor? Right,
16:13
Speaker 1: and then quarterback being as important as it is the
16:15
Speaker 1: reason they looked like the most impressive team just this
16:20
Speaker 1: past week, maybe over the entire season as far as
16:24
Speaker 1: anybody's concerned. What is in large part because of the
16:28
Speaker 1: perfection in which he kind of played the position and
16:30
Speaker 1: has done so just about every single game. He definitely
16:33
Speaker 1: hasn't played anywhere near what people think the floor is.
16:36
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's fair to Sam Darnold
16:38
Speaker 1: to necessarily continue to say, well, your first impression was
16:42
Speaker 1: not really good back years ago with the Jets. He's
16:45
Speaker 1: not the same dude. It's obvious he's not the same
16:47
Speaker 1: player that he was there. He learned, he got a
16:49
Speaker 1: lot better and has kind of risen from the ashes
16:52
Speaker 1: of being a Jets quarterback. And so to me, it's like,
16:55
Speaker 1: I give the dude credit for what he's doing right now.
16:58
Speaker 1: I think obviously there's going to be a game somewhere
17:01
Speaker 1: along the line. You would think that that where things
17:03
Speaker 1: aren't clicking and next thing, you know, there's forcing some
17:06
Speaker 1: things here and there, and how they respond to that
17:10
Speaker 1: or if the defense can still keep them in it
17:12
Speaker 1: to where Okay, you had a bad game for three quarters,
17:15
Speaker 1: but you figured out a way to pull that thing out,
17:17
Speaker 1: you know.
17:17
Speaker 4: So to me, it's I think he's already shown that.
17:20
Speaker 4: I mean, they didn't pull it out because the defense
17:22
Speaker 4: was so bad, but he went pass for pass with
17:25
Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield.
17:25
Speaker 1: Well that's what I mean then, Okay, So then if
17:27
Speaker 1: it's okay, you go pass for pass, But then can
17:30
Speaker 1: the defense find a way to make the stop when
17:32
Speaker 1: you finally need the stop? Yeah, that's the whole thing.
17:34
Speaker 4: Yeah they didn't that day, but I think we've gotten
17:37
Speaker 4: plenty of evidence that the defense can play, can get
17:39
Speaker 4: that done.
17:40
Speaker 1: Well. Anybody can do it on any given day. It's
17:42
Speaker 1: will you do it when the time when you need
17:45
Speaker 1: to do it the most. So in a couple of
17:46
Speaker 1: weeks when they play the Rams, I is that going
17:48
Speaker 1: to be a tight game? Seems like it quite possibly
17:50
Speaker 1: could be when push comes to shove. Are you going
17:53
Speaker 1: to stand up? Are you going to be the team
17:55
Speaker 1: that finds a way to win? Because, like I say,
17:57
Speaker 1: in baseball, a lot good teams find a way to win.
17:59
Speaker 1: Bad teams find a way to lose, And a lot
18:01
Speaker 1: of times it does come down to, all right, we've
18:03
Speaker 1: played some good and bad throughout this game, or both
18:06
Speaker 1: offensive played great and neither defensive stepped up. Which one
18:09
Speaker 1: steps up when you need it? And if this team
18:11
Speaker 1: can do it, then yeah, I think there's very easily
18:13
Speaker 1: we could be talking six seven, eight weeks from now,
18:15
Speaker 1: getting ready for the playoffs, that this is the best
18:17
Speaker 1: team in the league.
18:18
Speaker 6: I was thinking about our draft yesterday, because that was
18:20
Speaker 6: the original question, right, did we value them too low?
18:24
Speaker 6: And I at the beginning of the draft, I had
18:26
Speaker 6: said to Bucky, oh, I'll trade you know, we both
18:28
Speaker 6: wanted the fourth pick. I was going to take them.
18:30
Speaker 6: If I'd had that fourth pick, I would have taken
18:32
Speaker 6: them right then, granted only would have probably been up
18:34
Speaker 6: one spot.
18:35
Speaker 4: I think that's the point of ye question, because I
18:38
Speaker 4: think you were contemplating taking them at two. I was,
18:41
Speaker 4: but thought I could get them in the second round
18:43
Speaker 4: that's seven.
18:44
Speaker 6: I also thought everyone would think it was absurd that
18:46
Speaker 6: I took them at two.
18:47
Speaker 2: I was like, I want to that's our hesitation.
18:50
Speaker 4: Because that's the block that we're putting in front of
18:52
Speaker 4: us that some guys nationally, guys will usually accuse of
18:55
Speaker 4: underestimating the Seahawks.
18:57
Speaker 1: They're over that block. Yeah, they've seen enough. Yea.
19:00
Speaker 4: Arnold's the real deal. This team's as good as anybody
19:02
Speaker 4: in the National Football League.
19:04
Speaker 1: And yet there was there's a little.
19:05
Speaker 4: Caution, yep, that we're all showing to put them at
19:09
Speaker 4: the front of the line.
19:10
Speaker 1: And I think for very good reasons.
19:12
Speaker 4: But I do believe we can entertain right now that
19:18
Speaker 4: they're right there with the Detroit Lions, right there with
19:21
Speaker 4: the Philadelphia Eagles, right there with the Green Bay Packers,
19:24
Speaker 4: right there with the Los Angeles Rams here in the NFC,
19:27
Speaker 4: and maybe.
19:27
Speaker 1: As good as Buffalo and Kansas City and the AFC.
19:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, when Bucky was talking about with your pick, you
19:32
Speaker 6: were saying like, oh, I don't know if I'm going
19:34
Speaker 6: to do it. I thought you were going with the Seahawks.
19:36
Speaker 6: That's how I went well number one with BUCkies. Oh,
19:39
Speaker 6: with BUCkies. When he said when he took the Chiefs instead,
19:42
Speaker 6: I thought he was preparing to take the Seahawks, and I.
19:44
Speaker 4: Went, oh, and then Kid took it, and then Kid
19:47
Speaker 4: number six. All right, let's find out what's on tap
19:49
Speaker 4: for the rest of the show today.
19:52
Speaker 2: What's on test?
19:55
Speaker 1: What's on test?
19:56
Speaker 4: Seahawks Cardinals This Sunday twelve man roundtable today from eight
20:00
Speaker 4: to nine with Hugh Millen and Greg Bell. We'll talk
20:02
Speaker 4: about the addition of sh Rashid Shahed, who will wear
20:06
Speaker 4: number twenty two like he did in New Orleans. And
20:08
Speaker 4: we'll play this Sunday against the Cardinals. Kyler Murray won't
20:12
Speaker 4: play this week. He won't play for another four weeks.
20:14
Speaker 4: The Cardinals put him on IR and so is Kyler
20:18
Speaker 4: Murray done in Arizona. Another thing that we've talked about
20:21
Speaker 4: throughout the week, we'll talk about it again today.
20:24
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football.
20:25
Speaker 4: The Las Vegas Raiders will be in Denver to take
20:27
Speaker 4: on the Broncos. Mike Sando joins us every Thursday at
20:30
Speaker 4: nine thirty our NFL Insider. We'll talk about that game
20:33
Speaker 4: and everything else going on in the National Football League.
20:36
Speaker 4: I don't know how many bron I don't know how
20:38
Speaker 4: many Denver sports fans will watch the football game tonight
20:41
Speaker 4: because Denver will be taking on you dub in college
20:44
Speaker 4: basketball tonight.
20:45
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they'll all be watching that.
20:47
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, So I don't know, probably be low attendance. Yeah,
20:50
Speaker 4: the Broncos game tonight, yep. So anyway, Denver the whole
20:56
Speaker 4: city on the edge of its seat for their matchup
20:58
Speaker 4: against you Dub on the college hardway right. Husky's football
21:02

21:10
Speaker 4: match of the first round of the MLS Playoffs this Sunday.
21:13
Speaker 4: Winner advances. You gotta favor the mad Scientists there. San
21:18
Speaker 4: Jose Sharks embarrassed the Kraken last night six to one
21:21
Speaker 4: the final score, Where did that come from? And the Mariners,
21:26
Speaker 4: Jorge Polanco, no surprise, declined the mutual option to return
21:32
Speaker 4: to the Mariners next year at six to eight million dollars.
21:35
Speaker 4: It's still not even exactly sure what the offer was.
21:38
Speaker 4: Polonga was like, I don't care. I'm not taking either
21:40
Speaker 4: one of them.
21:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was confusing to read it.
21:42
Speaker 4: It is a little confusing, But we'll actually spend some
21:45
Speaker 4: time talking about feels like there is a real attention
21:49
Speaker 4: being paid right now to what the Mariners have planned
21:53
Speaker 4: for this offseason.
21:54
Speaker 1: So we're actually going to get into that. Next.
21:56
Speaker 4: It's Chuck and Buck here on a Thursday Sports Radio
21:59
Speaker 4: ninety three point three. Oh man, forgive me I didn't
22:12
Speaker 4: mention and what's on tap because we have a momentous
22:15
Speaker 4: occasion occurring on Chucking Buck today at nine o'clock. Two
22:19
Speaker 4: local celebrities, so both of them have had a rabid
22:23
Speaker 4: dream to excel in trivia their entire adult lives. Aaron
22:28
Speaker 4: Levine Jeopardy Champion. It's going to be on the program
22:32
Speaker 4: today at nine o'clock. Finally going head to head against
22:35
Speaker 4: a guy that Ashley and I have to witness every week,
22:39
Speaker 4: fight to keep beat Bucky.
22:40
Speaker 1: On the airwaves.
22:41
Speaker 4: He's wanted it his entire life, his own trivia show
22:45
Speaker 4: built around him. We've delivered it for him here on
22:48
Speaker 4: Chucking Buck in the Morning. So for these two with
22:50
Speaker 4: this dream of just being viewed as trivia masters their
22:55
Speaker 4: entire life, for them to go head to head today
22:57
Speaker 4: and beat Bucky is going to be one of the
22:59
Speaker 4: great moments in kJ R history.
23:02
Speaker 1: Well are you playing one truth and one lie? Because
23:04
Speaker 1: one person you just mentioned does love trivia? Aaron Levin
23:08
Speaker 1: loves trivia? What are you talking about? And then the
23:11
Speaker 1: other person you're speaking of? To keep this bit in
23:16
Speaker 1: the show, that's not me? Okay, I remember our meetings differently.
23:22
Speaker 2: I guess yes, yes, that is possibility.
23:26
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know why we call it beat Bucky. Yeah,
23:29
Speaker 1: because it's fun to beat someone at something that they
23:32
Speaker 1: are really bad at. They're not really bad at it,
23:37
Speaker 1: not really good at it.
23:40
Speaker 4: But I want you to beat Levine today.
23:42
Speaker 8: I want you, I just want you to know I'm
23:44
Speaker 8: not going to rig it. You know that you do
23:47
Speaker 8: give me the answer, even though I did consider it. Yeah,
23:50
Speaker 8: let's I did consider it.
23:53
Speaker 4: It would be funny if every category was right in
23:56
Speaker 4: your wheel house.
23:58
Speaker 1: Now we're talking wheelhouse. It's gonna be in his wheel house.
24:04
Speaker 1: Jacobson's favorite things.
24:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, alarm go off.
24:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, see, now you're talking these are trivia questions. I
24:12
Speaker 1: will feel confident.
24:13
Speaker 4: In greatest MMA fights of all time. Yeah, stuff like.
24:18
Speaker 2: That favorite kind of Pendleton whiskey.
24:21
Speaker 4: Just to see the look on the smart boy's face.
24:24
Speaker 4: I thought about doing that, but no, we're gonna try
24:27
Speaker 4: to keep it on the up and up. But we're
24:28
Speaker 4: gonna play at nine o'clock. It's beat Bucky featuring a
24:31
Speaker 4: Jeopardy champion.
24:33
Speaker 1: Wow, it's gonna be fun. He better bring it, Yeah,
24:36
Speaker 1: he better bring it at nine o'clock today.
24:38
Speaker 4: All right, let's talk some baseball. Horiy Polanco made some
24:41
Speaker 4: news yesterday. It was the deadline, or today's the deadline. Actually,
24:48
Speaker 4: MLB free agents can start signing today, Trades can start
24:51
Speaker 4: being consummated as well, and so today's sort of the
24:56
Speaker 4: official official launch of the hot stove season. So you
24:59
Speaker 4: didn't have to wait very long. The offseason is here
25:02
Speaker 4: for the Mariners, all of Major League baseball, but teams
25:05
Speaker 4: that had options, whether it was player options, team options,
25:08
Speaker 4: or mutual options, had until today to decide whether or
25:12
Speaker 4: not they were going to cash those in. Obviously, the
25:14
Speaker 4: Mariners would have loved for Hore Polonko to say, I'll
25:17
Speaker 4: take even half of what we agreed to mutually for
25:21
Speaker 4: this upcoming year, But no, Hora Polonko, coming off a
25:24
Speaker 4: terrific season, some would argue his best season of his
25:27
Speaker 4: career statistically, he definitely had the hammer in this situation
25:32
Speaker 4: and said, hey, look, I came back here, it worked
25:35
Speaker 4: out for me, but I'm not going to re sign
25:38
Speaker 4: for a mutual option of one year six to eight
25:41
Speaker 4: million dollars. I can make a whole lot more than
25:43
Speaker 4: that on the open market. And so no surprise here.
25:46
Speaker 4: By the way, Garber wasn't a surprise that he wasn't
25:49
Speaker 4: cap Munjos, wasn't a surprise that he was kept at
25:51
Speaker 4: his number. Were not a surprise here that Hora Polonko said,
25:55
Speaker 4: I'd like to stay with Seattle, but certainly I'm not
25:58
Speaker 4: going to stay at that figure would throw me off
26:01
Speaker 4: of the roof.
26:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean I think that the I think
26:04
Speaker 1: the idea of I mean we know the second basically
26:08
Speaker 1: that you could start doing things right after the World
26:11
Speaker 1: Series concluded. You know, they're like, hey, Garb, see later.
26:15
Speaker 1: The fact that we didn't find this out until yesterday
26:18
Speaker 1: leads me down the idea of that they were talking right,
26:20
Speaker 1: they were having conversations. I don't think it was like,
26:23
Speaker 1: we hadn't thought about this, we should maybe, you know,
26:25
Speaker 1: put our brains together and have a conversation. What do
26:27
Speaker 1: you think about Jorge Plonco. And that they just had
26:29
Speaker 1: that conversation yesterday, I think it just came to whatever
26:34
Speaker 1: conversations they were having probably were falling short mine would.
26:38
Speaker 1: I would imagine to me it would be Justin and
26:40
Speaker 1: Jerry saying, hey, dude, great year. We would love to
26:43
Speaker 1: have you back. We understand you're not going to take
26:46
Speaker 1: the you know, the mutual option. That basically the way
26:49
Speaker 1: in which that worked was you had a really bad
26:51
Speaker 1: year last season, you went and tested the market. Everybody
26:55
Speaker 1: was kind of saying, hey, your market value is not
26:57
Speaker 1: that good considering what you did. He said, hey, we'd
27:00
Speaker 1: love to bring it back, And ultimately we kind of
27:03
Speaker 1: gave a situation where if you just had a so
27:07
Speaker 1: so year that maybe you just want to come back,
27:11
Speaker 1: and you kind of have an opportunity to come back
27:13
Speaker 1: and still make some decent money, but not that number
27:18
Speaker 1: is not representative of what he did this year. He
27:20
Speaker 1: had a bounce back year, one of his better years
27:22
Speaker 1: of his career, ended up being an integral part of
27:26
Speaker 1: our playoff run and the way in which the season
27:29
Speaker 1: went down. So to me, it just made sense. And
27:31
Speaker 1: yet they couldn't figure out a number. I'm assuming that
27:35
Speaker 1: they threw some stuff around to one another. The idea
27:37
Speaker 1: is you try to keep him from getting to free agency.
27:40
Speaker 1: So I'm sure they spent the week, they've spent the
27:42
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks saying, is there a number that
27:44
Speaker 1: we can reach before you that convinces you to not
27:48
Speaker 1: test the market and to lock you up because we
27:50
Speaker 1: do want to keep you. And they couldn't reach that.
27:52
Speaker 4: That's why Hore gave it till last night to try
27:54
Speaker 4: to figure that out. So he's going to test the
27:56
Speaker 4: market to a degree, but maybe we still end up
27:59
Speaker 4: having the best and even if we don't actually a
28:01
Speaker 4: close enough offer that his love for this team and
28:05
Speaker 4: the season they're coming off of, I would imagine it's ballpark.
28:08
Speaker 4: Two years twenty five, two years, twenty six million dollars
28:12
Speaker 4: would be able to get it done.
28:13
Speaker 1: And I'm sure Horay Polanco's agent is telling him, we
28:17
Speaker 1: think we can get more.
28:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know if obviously, I think for what
28:21
Speaker 6: Jorge went through two years ago and how terrible it was,
28:24
Speaker 6: and how well he did this last year, and he
28:27
Speaker 6: was able to prove it to himself, he was able
28:28
Speaker 6: to prove it to the Mariners. I think, I think
28:30
Speaker 6: more importantly to himself just to say like, okay, yes
28:32
Speaker 6: I still can play baseball.
28:34
Speaker 2: I am not what I was last year.
28:35
Speaker 6: So maybe also in his mind, he's interested in just
28:39
Speaker 6: seeing what his value is on the market after trying
28:42
Speaker 6: it last year and it didn't go well.
28:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, well, I mean we'll see.
28:47
Speaker 4: I think there's a good chance that Polonko's coming back
28:50
Speaker 4: in a Mariner uniform this year. And look, I mean
28:53
Speaker 4: there were stories yesterday, people are reporting and you never
28:56
Speaker 4: know what to believe, saying the Mariners are going to
28:59
Speaker 4: be very aggressive in free agency. I don't know where
29:02
Speaker 4: that rumor came from. I don't know if it's coming
29:04
Speaker 4: from inside the house, but it certainly does seem to
29:07
Speaker 4: belie their normal pattern of off season approach, but I'm
29:13
Speaker 4: willing to be pleasantly surprised if they get very aggressive
29:16
Speaker 4: this off season via free agency. I think the more
29:19
Speaker 4: logical path is to try to keep Naylor and Polonko.
29:23
Speaker 4: I think there is a way with the thirty thirty
29:25
Speaker 4: five million dollars that you seem to have to spend
29:29
Speaker 4: right now, that it all goes to those two guys,
29:32
Speaker 4: and then we probably don't get really much more this
29:35
Speaker 4: offseason and then just go with what's already in house.
29:39
Speaker 4: Maybe tinker a little bit right there if they do
29:42
Speaker 4: add a free agent. This is another interesting name out there,
29:45
Speaker 4: Munataka moor Akami, who I brought up quite a bit
29:47
Speaker 4: over the last couple of years. He's a power hitter.
29:50
Speaker 4: He's basically the Japanese Geno Suarez. He strikes out a lot.
29:54
Speaker 4: They are really worried he's going to have a low
29:56
Speaker 4: batting average but possibly pop forty to fifty home runs
29:59
Speaker 4: as a major league baseball player. He's a twenty five
30:02
Speaker 4: year old corner endfielder, third baseman right now. But he
30:07
Speaker 4: is somebody that almost on all of these lists that
30:10
Speaker 4: they are trying to predict where players are going. The
30:12
Speaker 4: Mariners are mentioned on Morikami's list. Of course, so are
30:16
Speaker 4: the Dodgers, because the Dodgers get every Japanese player, and.
30:20
Speaker 1: So this is somebody that I think that we need
30:23
Speaker 1: to keep our eye on.
30:24
Speaker 4: Now, if you're going to keep Naylor and you're gonna
30:26
Speaker 4: be able to re sign Polonko, that means based off
30:30
Speaker 4: of studying the way that this ownership group and front
30:35
Speaker 4: office have operated in passed off seasons, they usually tell
30:39
Speaker 4: you what's going on going on, and if they're saying
30:42
Speaker 4: that we're going to start at this threshold, then that
30:45
Speaker 4: means somebody's got to go. If you can pull it
30:47
Speaker 4: off that you have Naylor, Polonko and Morikami, who's projected
30:51
Speaker 4: market value is ten years to twenty, then guess who's
30:56
Speaker 4: got to go. Luis Castillo has got to go, and
30:59
Speaker 4: for really anything, just to get his contract off the books.
31:04
Speaker 4: So there is a path, but that path often requires
31:08
Speaker 4: a little bit of pain.
31:10
Speaker 1: I don't want them to have to do any pain. Part. Oh,
31:13
Speaker 1: I do want them to actually do pain. I don't
31:15
Speaker 1: want them to look at it as pain. I want
31:17
Speaker 1: them to look at it as look at how this
31:20
Speaker 1: season went, and let's continue moving in the direction that you.
31:24
Speaker 1: You took a giant step towards at the trade deadline,
31:27
Speaker 1: and I don't mean, okay, then you add a couple
31:30
Speaker 1: of pieces, try to drop a little bit of money
31:32
Speaker 1: if you want to add a third piece, like what
31:34
Speaker 1: you're talking about. And then when we find ourselves at
31:38
Speaker 1: the trade deadline and we're in a good position again,
31:41
Speaker 1: then we'll go ahead and make those moves necessary to
31:43
Speaker 1: fill that thing. I kind of want more filling out
31:46
Speaker 1: done during the offseason and then also do it at
31:49
Speaker 1: the at the trade deadline. I know that's well, I
31:52
Speaker 1: know that well. I'm just hoping that they maybe have
31:56
Speaker 1: a shift because you're in a different position than you
31:59
Speaker 1: have been in your past, right, You're in a position
32:01
Speaker 1: now where, really you have been a playoff contending team
32:05
Speaker 1: for the last five years or so, and you're you're winning,
32:09
Speaker 1: and you just got right on the doorstep of breaking
32:11
Speaker 1: through the glass ceiling that is the World Series. It's
32:14
Speaker 1: I want you to kind of shift it up, but
32:16
Speaker 1: shake it up a little bit. Do some things that
32:18
Speaker 1: are uncomfortable to you because you're not used to it,
32:21
Speaker 1: because you can recognize that it's something that might come
32:24
Speaker 1: back tenfold when it comes to how much money you
32:26
Speaker 1: spend versus how much money you make?
32:27
Speaker 4: All right, Coming up at the top of the hour
32:29
Speaker 4: headlines plus David's Softy Maler will join us for Thursdays
32:32
Speaker 4: with Softy. But coming up next we'll talk about the
32:35
Speaker 4: interesting decision the Arizona Cardinals are fighting over regarding the
32:40
Speaker 4: future of their quarterback position. Sports Radio ninety three point
32:43
Speaker 4: three KJRFM.
32:45
Speaker 7: Let's me take it off like hackead. It's the sweet one.
33:00
Speaker 4: Prob Ben round Table today from eight to nine you
33:02
Speaker 4: milling Greg Bell for a solid hour talking about the Seahawks,
33:06
Speaker 4: talking about the matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Certainly one
33:09
Speaker 4: of the topics is going to be the quarterback position.
33:11
Speaker 4: Announced earlier this week that it will be Jacoby Brissett
33:14
Speaker 4: starting for the Cardinals against the Hawks and not Kyler
33:17
Speaker 4: Murray uh. And then after wild speculation about what is
33:22
Speaker 4: going on with Kyler Murray UH, with the with the program,
33:27
Speaker 4: with the organization, the Cardinals just kept saying he's not ready.
33:32
Speaker 4: And yet there was plenty of video evidence that showed
33:35
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray at practice and not looking hobbled whatsoever.
33:39
Speaker 1: So wild speculation.
33:41
Speaker 4: Is running rampant throughout Phoenix throughout the entire country about
33:45
Speaker 4: the status of Kyler Murray now and in the future
33:48
Speaker 4: with the Arizona Cardinals.
33:50
Speaker 1: Uh.
33:51
Speaker 4: And so the we know we're gonna face Jacoby Brissett
33:56
Speaker 4: coming up on Sunday, but certainly in Air Arizona. The
34:00
Speaker 4: big question mark is is are they covering up for
34:04
Speaker 4: just not wanting him around anymore?
34:06
Speaker 1: Did he have a setback?
34:07
Speaker 4: Nobody's getting the information they want, and so the speculation
34:11
Speaker 4: is just running wild.
34:12
Speaker 1: Uh. The idea of this guy if there is a
34:17
Speaker 1: foot injury, right, which I think there probably was one
34:20
Speaker 1: to begin with, and yet if it's if it's still
34:23
Speaker 1: is lingering. He's the He's probably more than any mobile
34:27
Speaker 1: quarterback one that kind of needs to be the most healthy, right.
34:31
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some other guys that are kind of shifty.
34:34
Speaker 1: I'm thinking like a Josh Allen That is, is he's
34:38
Speaker 1: like bigger and he's tougher to take down. But he's
34:41
Speaker 1: obviously not as fast as a Kyler Murry. He's not
34:43
Speaker 1: as shifty, he's not as much about oh, I'm going
34:45
Speaker 1: to change directions. He's just kind of crafty in the
34:47
Speaker 1: way in which he uses his his feet and so
34:50
Speaker 1: to me, I can see how it's like, we can't
34:52
Speaker 1: put this guy out there one he's not he's not
34:55
Speaker 1: good enough that he can go out there and play
34:57
Speaker 1: at eighty percent and be really useful to the team.
35:00
Speaker 1: And so I think they're weigh in probably how healthy
35:03
Speaker 1: is he and is him at anything less than one
35:06
Speaker 1: hundred percent better than Jacoby Brissett, And I think they're
35:08
Speaker 1: coming up with the idea of no, And so the
35:10
Speaker 1: future is up in the air. I think that they
35:13
Speaker 1: have so much guaranteed money for him that they probably
35:16
Speaker 1: can't do anything right now. But the end might be
35:19
Speaker 1: closer than it is, it's not that far away. I
35:23
Speaker 1: don't have the answers to all of this.
35:24
Speaker 4: Doesn't sound like anybody truly has the answers, but I've
35:28
Speaker 4: seen enough evidence to state this pretty clearly. He either
35:32
Speaker 4: had a setback or he did not react well to
35:38
Speaker 4: Jacoby Brissett starting over him, and that was the final straw,
35:41
Speaker 4: and Arizona's like, we don't even like you, So I
35:44
Speaker 4: mean for him to go from he's going to he's
35:48
Speaker 4: preparing as the starter for this week's game against the
35:51
Speaker 4: Cowboys on Monday night, and evidence showing him not favoring
35:56
Speaker 4: a foot injury whatsoever in the practice that you can
36:01
Speaker 4: see anywhere.
36:01
Speaker 1: It's all over the place.
36:03
Speaker 4: And then to suddenly the following week give Brissett the
36:08
Speaker 4: start and then put him.
36:10
Speaker 1: On the ir.
36:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, so he was close, he was on track to
36:14
Speaker 4: starting for you on Monday night, and then you make
36:17
Speaker 4: the decision the following week, the following Wednesday.
36:21
Speaker 1: That he can't. He's not going to be ready to
36:23
Speaker 1: play for five weeks.
36:24
Speaker 2: That's the part I can't figure out.
36:25
Speaker 1: Well, it's either, I mean, it's one or the other.
36:28
Speaker 4: Either he had a setback from he was close to
36:31
Speaker 4: playing and had a major setback, or they decided we're
36:38
Speaker 4: going to try to protect you, but you're not going
36:40
Speaker 4: to play quarterback for us again this year. Our guys
36:43
Speaker 4: Jacoby Brissett until Jacoby Brissett goes down.
36:45
Speaker 6: And that's what I think it is, because, yeah, they
36:48
Speaker 6: were preparing him to start. Then they said, oh, well,
36:51
Speaker 6: he might play some packages here and there throughout the
36:54
Speaker 6: game once they'd announced that it was going to be.
36:56
Speaker 2: Breset, so they still hadn't fully ruled him out.
36:59
Speaker 6: And then it was now he's you know, now he's
37:01
Speaker 6: not playing it all tonight and now he's going on
37:02
Speaker 6: the IR. I think that they're protecting him and they
37:05
Speaker 6: they essentially benched him without saying we're benching him.
37:08
Speaker 4: Maybe yeah, I mean yeah, I mean, I'm not ruling
37:11
Speaker 4: out that a guy with a foot injury as a setback,
37:14
Speaker 4: and it's just not right. But to go from Okay,
37:17
Speaker 4: we think he's ready to play too.
37:19
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be ready to play for six weeks. Man.
37:22
Speaker 4: That doesn't That doesn't even add up. No, that did
37:25
Speaker 4: an add up whatsoever. So I just gut feeling, and
37:28
Speaker 4: I know enough people down in Phoenix and and I've
37:31
Speaker 4: listened to enough analysis that they're done, and that Jonathan
37:34
Speaker 4: Gannon and their general manager new general manager before they
37:38
Speaker 4: are ultimately judged by the ownership group, that they want
37:44
Speaker 4: to be able to draft their own quarterback this offseason
37:47
Speaker 4: and and have their own guy that they believe in
37:50
Speaker 4: rather than one they inherited that they never really saw
37:54
Speaker 4: eye to eye with because he was so short. And
37:58
Speaker 4: so I think that that's what is going on, But
38:02
Speaker 4: I certainly can't confirm that. All right, Headlines Next plus
