Chuck & Buck 5-8 Hour 4: Alyssa Charlston-Smith, ABC's of the Mariners and Booze News! · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Hey, good morning, it is nine o'clock. That's right, we're
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: heading down the stretch run here of our Friday radio program.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It is Chuck Fyle and Ashley Ryan with you. We
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: have some cash to hand out because our bosses have decided.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: You know who deserves it, not our employees, our listeners.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we got to give it to the listeners
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and people that really make this station run.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: So yeah, you got them to think for one thousand
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: dollars or Grand Slam cash being available to you, just
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: enter the word deposit at ninety three three KJR dot
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: com and cross your fingers like we do every day. Deposit.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, I we're gonna get money.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, ninety three three kJ R.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I gave that on joining us now on the program.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: She's been on our show times in the past, but
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: never in her new role. You're going to hear her
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: this year on all sorts of storm games. And a
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: former basketball player herself. Of course, you know her as
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a television star and we know her as a true
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: sunbeam in the Seattle sports scene. It is Alyssa Charleston
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Smith joining us right here on Chuck and Buck in
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the morning. Great to have you with us.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Wow a sunbeam. Thank you, Chuck, make my week so sweet.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: Oh well, thanks for being on with us.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: We greatly appreciate it, and so color analysts for Storm
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Games this year. Tell us how this came together and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: how much we'll be seeing you.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, what an honor. I mean, it was very unexpected.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I think it comes after Eleish Woodward, who is a
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: total legend in the game, stepped aside. She wanted you
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: play by play. She's with the Portland Fire now, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: really it only happened with that, because why would you
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: ever want to let at least the word go except
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: for when she wants to do something else. So I
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: think that's what made way for the position, and it's
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: something I could not say no to because I love
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: being part of game broadcasts, being part of live action,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: and I love love working at Fox thirteen too. It's
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: not going to be easy to be there less, but
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be basically a dream come
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: true to work with a Storm and be around practice
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: and see Dom alonga dunk pretty much every day.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Well, you can be I mean, we're friends, so nobody
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: else is listening. You can be honest with us was
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that the only thing that kept you from possibly wanting
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the job, Dick Thane, was that the one thing that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: was a hurdle heart that was difficult to overcome.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Just between you and me. Yeah, since we don't have
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: any eyewitnesses that I tried to talk to the storm
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: to see what we could do there, if I could
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: be played by plate and color analysis. But they were like, no,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: it's it's a little bit too much talking. So no
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: work with Dick too. He's an OG two.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Well it's that's overstating it a little bit.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: But he did have a pager.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he did have a pager and don't Yeah, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: he I.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Got questions about that recently he or was it?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I think he's still he probably still has one of
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the first to have a pager, right and he also
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: was one of the first people to make a phone call,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: right right'.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, the commercial. That's why he didn't answer my
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: text yesterday after the page he left me on red.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I got to get the pager.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Don't get him started telling his stories about phone calls.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: He'll never stop talking. Boy. Alica Charleston Smith is with us.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: But you played basketball. For those that don't know you,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: they see you on Fox thirteen. You played basketball in
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: college and so what, uh, what kind of player were
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you when you were actually you know, lasen up the Snakers.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because now I'm my husband, that's what you were saying.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I did play basketball, and I think people start realizing
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: that when they see me in person. I get that
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: every single time of you were actually recognizes me. Wow,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: you're a really tall in person. And I used it
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: for good. When I was in college, I was I
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: was kind of a stretch forward. I mean a lot
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: of getting to the rim, shooting threes, a few pull
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: up jumpers here and there. But I had a good,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: good little college career played overseas. After that, good enough
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: college career to play overseas and one some championships at
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Idaho and then one that championship overseas. And what's crazy
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: is what I just realized all while saw their number
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: three overall pick the Storms just a few a few
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: weeks ago. She's playing in Spain. She's playing for Valencia
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: and they're waiting for her season to finish before she
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: comes and rejoins the Storm. So her contract is technically
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: suspended right now, but she'll join the team hopefully in
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: late May, early June. Her point guard is my point
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: guard that I had in Luxembourg my one season playing
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: overseas is the point guard. And she's like all over
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: their web page and like all over their articles. I
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: was like, no way, good for Avon. So I'm gonna
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: try to get the scouting important more information and insight
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: in so on Awa.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But you're turning into like the Kevin You're turning into
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: like the Kevin Bacon of basketball all of a sudden,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: right before our eyes. Well, there's always that that game
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: where you can connect Kevin Bacon and three jumps and yeah,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I think I think that's I think that's what's what
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you might be becoming right before our eyes here. I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: love that you played in Luxembourg. I know that the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: capital is Luxembourg. That's about all I know about Luxembourg.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all most people know. Actually a lot of
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: people think it's a city in Germany or France.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's a king in Luxembourg, right, Luxembourg has
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: its own king.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: If I'm not mistaken, a dukie, A dukie, do you okay?
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Alyssa Charleston Smith is with US color Analyst this year
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: for the Storm, who will start their season tonight at
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock against the Golden State Valkyries. And so she'll
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: be with our own Dick Fane this year and still
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: be doing her duties at Fox thirteen. Let's talk about
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: this team. Let's preview this team. You've already mentioned a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: couple of names, and both of them are very tall
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: basketball players. There has been a major shift that has
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: gone on with the Storm roster this offseason. I mean
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: a dramatic one, and it just feels like they're heading
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: in a new direction. And I mean, correct me if
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Seemingly building around the interior with one of
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the longest, most athletic front courts in the entire league.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Is that the way you see it?
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Absolutely the same way. I mean, you could take my
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: job right now. That's a perfect description. Because they let
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: their top five scores walk essentially a free agency, and
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: for those who don't know, more than eighty percent of
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: the league was a free agents this offseason because the
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: new CBA was coming. Your top top players are now
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: getting paid one point four million dollars and that was
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: the entire salary cap for the team last year. Just
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: a reminder every single player is making more than your
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: top players last year. So like the average salary is
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: two hundred and seventy thousand dollars, your supermax was like
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: two fifty last year. So the league is completely different
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: right now. And it's in general, you knew there was
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: going to be a lot of changes. Every single roster
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: has a lot of shakeup, except for like the New
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: York Liberty, who somehow added like another superstar. They're going
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: to be crazy good. So is Las Vegas. But the
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Storm was willing to make changes, and I think they
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: saw after the Jewel Lloyd Brihanna Stewart's Superbird era that
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: got them two championships twenty eighteen and twenty twenty. You
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: added Mecca who is a Hall of Famer certified Skyler
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Diggins a phenomenal point guard that will be legend forever.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: But it wasn't enough, Like it wasn't enough to get
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: you pass the first round of the playoffs. He ran
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: into the Las Vegas Faces both times and lost. So
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: front office, General manager, do you change up the coach?
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: But the front office and GM decided like there are
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: some changes we got to make, And kudos to them
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: because it's scary to rebuild. But every time, I know
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Dick Fame has said this every time they have it's
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: turns of the championships. So this team maybe got the
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: most potential just because we don't know exactly what Don
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Malonga can turn into. I mean, the general managers voted
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: her top three in the entire league. If you had
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: to pick a player right now to build your franchise around,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: she's your top three. And I mean that's crazy. You
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: got like Asia Wilson and I think Paige Becker's was
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: top of that list, Caitlin Clark's and that Nicks. But
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Don Alonga ended practice yesterday with a two handed dunk
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: a lob from Natisha Hideman. So Nipiza Hideman is going
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: to be likely your starting point guard. She came up
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: from Minnesota. Dom is a unicorn. She's chasing history, five
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: more rebounds. She's going to be the youngest player to
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: ever get two hundred. She's just like she had the
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: first she's the youngest to be a get a double
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: double last year. And then really, I think the star
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: the most like exciting player, the one that you're going
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: to see the face of and you're going to see
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: all over X and all over the Seattle Times because
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: of her quotes and her energy is Flaje Johnson. They
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: totally turned this season on its head the storm Front
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: office by drafting her, making that trade with Golden State
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: and getting Flage because she is such a good energy.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, she's got over I mean just for her
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: popularity alone, She's got over two million followers, two million
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: followers on Instagram. She has a song with Lil Wayne,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Like she knows every famous person in the world. She's
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: like signed with jay Z's Rock Nation. But she's incredibly
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: humble too, like she's every player I've talked to. Is like,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Flage sets the tone as a rookie. She's first in,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: laughed out. She's doing like a six thirty am work
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: out every single morning. She's got multiple albums you can
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: go listen to. They were playing her songs during warmups
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: of that preseason game at Climate Sledgerina. She's just hilarious.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Like I talked to her about getting that song with
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Little Wayne is like featuring and super Bird helps with
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: the assist and so you know, me thinking I'm like
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: a fun wordplay, like you know Alzhime assists leader gave
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: you an assist. She totally dugged on me by saying like, yeah,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: like sub Bird threw me the lob and I dunked it,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: like she totally stole the show. And she just like
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Just the way she talks is so engaging.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: She's a total star. So and then you're not even
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: talking about Ezzie mag Boogore, who they obviously coord they
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: want to keep her around for a long time. She's blossomed,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: but really this is her year to step up and shine.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: She's going to be out for six eight weeks with
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: an injury, which is a total bummer. But I think
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: the other young pieces around Dom and Flage it's gonna
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: be so interesting. And last thing on Flage, because I
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: know I'm taking this question way too long. Her father
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: was actually killed six months before she was born, and
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: so her name Flage for those who don't know quite
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: how to pronounce it. His rapper name was Camouflage, and
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: so as an ode to her father, her mom named
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: her a Flage and she's kind of taken his rap
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: career and wanted to continue it. That's why she's always
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: balanced both even though it's been really hard, like playing
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: at LSU and balancing a rap career not easy. So
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: just some of the background on her. It's just it's
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: a fun team to talk about, and they seem to
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: love each other and love the new head coach Sonya.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I got a million more questions based off of
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that response that you gave me, but I'll start with
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: this one. You brought up the dreaded R words, so
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: it is a bit of a rebuild. But how long
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: before they're thinking they'll be in contention? I mean, is
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: this a contending team this year despite the giant turnover
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: they've had on the roster, or are they so young
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: and is it so green of a group that maybe
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: it will take a little while before they're winning.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: I would say national perspective, the expectations for the form
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: are not high. I mean, it would probably be a
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: successful season from the national perspective, zoom out. If they
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: made the playoffs, it would be a big surprise. They're
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: going to surprise some teams. That being said, I mean
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: they preseasons doesn't really matter much. But to enter Golden
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: State Valkyrie's environments, I mean, that's a fan base that
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: sold out fifteen thousand season tickets like WNBA record, It's
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: a really cool atmosphere, and this young team went into
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Valhalla and nearly beat the Valkyries, lost by two at
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: the very end of a tie game with thirty five
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: seconds left. So I think there's going to be moments
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: where they really do surprise teams that don't take them
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: seriously enough, or teams that don't bring energy that night.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: And you know how much of a grind a WNBA season.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: It's just like the NBA. It's more condensed than the NBA,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: but there's forty four games. There are going to be
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: a lot of teams that don't have energy any given night,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: and with Flage alone, she truly changes the game energy wise.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I think this year again, like internally they're not like
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: putting too much pressure on themselves. I think they're mostly
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: thinking about, like, let's build through this system that Sonya
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: is bringing in. It's going to be kind of running gun.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be a little Paul west Head style, like
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: they want to get a good shot early in the
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: shot clock, and they're gonna run a lot of transition.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: They're gonna get up in your grill like defensively, So
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be a fun style of play to watch.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Even if you don't have the wins and losses this year,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: you're going to see so much growth. But I think
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: playoff contention wise, they're probably at least a year out
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: from making a run in the playoffs, maybe two years
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: from like making a deep run. Just because you're getting
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Awa late this year, you know, like you don't have
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: her until probably June, so that kind of sets you
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: behind me ball a little bit. But I think you
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: do have some bets, like Jordan Horston is coming back
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: from the ACL. She was an awesome two way player
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: before she tore ACL before last season, so she inserts
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: right back into the starting lineup as a really quality starter.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I think it's just gonna be kind of yeah. I
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: think the fun part is going to be watching them
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: surprise the league this year with low expectations, not being
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: beyond maybe speaking its playoffs, but it's been done before.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: It's going to kind of depend on what we see
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: from coach Sonia in improving how quickly they can improve
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: and checking in on that, you know, each month.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: The fun part, you know, as far as I can
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: see from my view, is you might have the longest
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and most athletic team in the league and seeing what
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: they might be able to do, because I've seen the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: highlights of FOM and that's that's like next level like size, length, athleticism,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and I mean she can handle, she can do a
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: lot of things. And so you mentioned earlier she might
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: not be available. So when does the dom FOM show
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: get underway for the storm and just how good could
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: it possibly be for the long term.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I would say mid to late June. I mean the
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: latest that all will be in Europe is May twenty third.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: She's in the yeah, yeah, so that's like the finals
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: of Legasina over it in for euro Basket what she's
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: competing in. She's going for a championships obviously, and I
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: believe the last check they were in the Semis. But
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: the latest she could still be, you know, playing a
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: game is May twenty third over there. So after that,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: you know you're going to give her a little bit,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: you know, a couple of days at least off, and
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: then how do you incorporate her the right way into
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: WNBA styles so like we all know it's more physical,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: there's no surprise, no if ands and or butts about that,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: and then getting her Sonya told us that she wanted
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: to make it simple at first, you know, like, I'm
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: not going to throw everything at her early on, and
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: we'll see how she absorbs all the information. But it's
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: going to be a really fun front court to watch,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: and it will likely be I mean, Dom is twenty,
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: All is nineteen, no doubt, that's going to be your
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: young gest front court potentially in WNBA history when they're
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: on the court together. So they're going to change the
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: face of women's basketball together. I really like this is
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: going to be the most exciting front court to watch
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: in the WNBA, simply because of their athleticism and the
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: way they play is just so smooth. It's so much fun.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: But their chemistry is going to take a little time.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: They've played against each other overseas. Dom and Awa, but
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: or A should just say Dom and fom like you did.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: That was perfect. You need to pitch that to the Storm,
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: maybe make some Money's not going to give you the
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: free yeah, which you're not going to win the contest.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Get a little money from the Storm for that.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: By the way, happy Mother's Day is this is your
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: first Mother's Day?
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Thank you? She said Happy Mother's Day to me.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: By waking up four m last night and not going
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: to sleep and going back to sleep until six. So
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: it is the sweetest gift.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: It's opening night. She's excited.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but thank you for that. That's so sweet. She
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: is truly a life changer. Her name is Charlie and
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: she's light of my life.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: Named her after me. Oh that's so sweet.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Little Chuck, that'll grow great in grade school, explaining that
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: went away. You can call me little Chuck though.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Great.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: So let's pitch tonight, Tell give it, give us your
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: best TV personality. Pitch for the Storm opener Alyssa Charleston
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Smith the Dick Fane on the call.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: What do we need to be aware of?
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: You're going to get a really really fun game. I mean,
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Golden States returns a lot of their players. That was
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: a team that made or made WNBA history by becoming
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: the first expansion team to make a playoff last year.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: They brought back a lot of players and they stole
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: a Storm favorite. Gabby Williams, who led the league in steels,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: a total menace on defense, joined Golden State. She's kind
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: of from that area. She's from Rena, but played AAU
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: ball in the Bay Area. So I mean that that's
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: a really fun team. Golden State plays and the head
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: coach has NBA experience, just like the new Storm head
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: coach has NBA experience. They play really smart basketball, they
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: love to space the floor. But you've got to come
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: for the Flage show. I mean, she scored twenty points
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: in the preseason. I believe the only rookie that I've
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: seen to score twenty others than Haley Van Lift with
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Chicago's guy, and they cut Haley van Lift. I don't know.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Chicago's kind of a weird spot right now. But Flasee
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: is a total star. She's going to be if you're
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: going to get the chance to see a blossoming rookie,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: potentially Rookie of the Year, because she's going to have
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: all the opportunity. There's no pressure on this Storm team,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: and that's usually when you see players play their best ball.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: A lot of players have a chance to remake their
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: careers with the Seattle Storm because they came from other
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: places or they didn't get the opportunities they wanted last
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: year with the Storm. And then you've got a unicorn
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: in Don Malonga. I mean, truly, she's her game has
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: become really really impressive, versatile, and you might get a dunk.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, can you imagine you might get a lob
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: from Flage Johnson to Don Malonga throwdown.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: That's all you need to know, the old Sube bird.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you very much for joining us,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: so I appreciate it. Have a blast, not just tonight
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: but all season long. Congratulations on the new post. Sorry
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: about Dick being part of your life going forward, and
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: we will chat with you again soon.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: All right, yeah, thank you so much for having me.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: I appreciate you both.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: All right, Alyssa Charleston Smith joining us right now here
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: on the radio program, still working at the Fox thirteen,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: but now doing color analysts for Storm games, and they
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: do debut tonight. Dick does a tremendous job on the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: call there with the Storm and so sounds like an
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: ex siding little transition period Organizationally they are going to be.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I mean it's like six five six six six four tall, yeah,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and athletic and long and the best leaper. I mean,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see how long this takes
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: to come together. But once it does come together, it
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: could be kind of revolutionary. You know, watching basketball, they
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: know one of the critics criticisms of men of women's
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: game is that it's not ever played above the rim.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: This is going to be the closest they're going to
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: get to it in its history to this stage.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be funn Yeah.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, ABC's that the MS come
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: your way on Sports Radio ninety three point three kh
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: a RFM, time of the abcs of the MS, brought
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: to you by our brand new sponsor, the Sunset Auto
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Family in Sumner and Auburn. You just get more at
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Sunset and people do.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Like that, they really do.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that Sunset s Yeah, I nailed that for you.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: You should be the guy.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I want to be the guy. I want to be
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the guy. It's I want to make all the TV ads.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I want to Bones got his thing that he does
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and then he switched over. Now he's the guy somewhere else.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: And I think the way that I read that, I
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: should be the guy.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: Bones just Ford jumping jumping.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: Truck jumper.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the alphabet. The alphabet will
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: be our guy through a daily Mariners segments, and we
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: left off of the letter g. G is for Gauntlet
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: and I wouldn't exactly call the Chicago White Sox. They're
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: not ready to have anything about them be called a gauntlet.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: They are a team that's lost three straight one hundred
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: lost seasons. They've had three straight one hundred lost seasons
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: that they've suffered through loss i under twenty one games
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: two years ago. They got a long way to go
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: before they're going to compete again for a division title,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: for a world title. But they've made a lot of
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: progress in the last year. One of those reasons more
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a kami who the alphabet might get to here in moment.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: But also they're getting some really good pitching so far
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: this year. And if there is a gauntlet that the Mariners,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: pitching wise, would have to face, they're kind of facing it.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: They've got this guy, Sean Burke, tonight six foot six inch,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: two hundred and forty pound twenty six year old, and
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: he's off to a terrific start this season with a
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: two point seven to two ERA. Then they will have
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Davis Martin in game number three, and Davis Martin right
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: now leads Baseball Reference war statistics. Oh like, in other words,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Baseball Reference, they've got their pitching statistics. They're saying this
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: guy has been the most valuable pitcher so far this
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: season in Major League Baseball.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: That's pretty good.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: And that comes out of nowhere.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, this was a twenty nine year old, kind
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: of a nobody on the scene. He pitched a little
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: bit last year, but this year, I don't know if
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: he's figured some things out or if as a matter
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: of time before that success blows up in his face.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I'd like to think that by Sunday at my but
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: that's guy has been All Star caliber. That guy's been
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Cy Young caliber so far this season, and no one
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: saw that coming. And then in the middle you've got
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Anthony Kay. And Anthony Kay has been a bit of
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: a journeyman middle reliever, long reliever starter for a little while.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Then he went overseas and then he came back as
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: part of the Chicago White Sox. And he's not having
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: a good year. He's not having a good year. And
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: yet you're probably wondering, then how are we put him
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: in then the gauntlet?
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: I have an idea.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Is he a lefty Yep, At anytime we face the lefty,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: we turned them into Steve Carlton, So so yes, we're
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: gonna face a guy that's been that's pitch better than
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: anybody this year according to Baseball Reference. In Game three,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: we're going to face a guy in Game number one
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: that's been also.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: A surprise two point seven to.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Two era, and then we have face a left hander
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: in the middle, so we might as well be facing
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: seeing the nineteen eighty six Atlanta Braves at this stage.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Perfect. So there you go, exactly what we want to hear.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: If they could create a gauntlet, they've created a gauntlet
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: for us this weekend. We still should win the series,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: but don't get any ideas about sweeps. That's probably not
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: gonna happen. H Is four hurts, and it does hurt
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: me a little bit that Munataka Morikami went for so
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: little this offseason. And I like Brendan Donovan, don't get
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: me wrong, and I'm glad we have him on the team,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: but he went so much lower than what the expectation was,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and almost every team just got scared of him, including
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the Mariners, because they felt he struck out too much,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: that he was at such value by the end of
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the process. Couldn't we have added Donovan and Mourakami.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, wouldn't that have been great?
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: And I've heard well He's just another Genosuarez. What's wrong
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: with that?
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, genos Or was actually great for this team.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: I hate guys that can hit fifty home runs this season.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: They're and with great attitudes.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I hate young people, young twenty five year olds with
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Gino Suarez power upside and more athleticism the worst. So
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know what scared people off, but he's making
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of people look foolish right now with the
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: season that he is off to And maybe he spends
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the entire second half striking out every single at patch
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and he will be exposed because there was something to it.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: There was something to every single Major league organization being
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: worried about signing this guy, despite the fact that Japan
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: was presenting him as the next Japanese phenom and those
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: guys have been good. No, I got to tell you this,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: but you know my you know my rule. I want
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: seven Japanese players. You know, I'll take every phenom, especially
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: the ones that have low price tags attached to them.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: So if they're a phenom and they're from Japan and
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna cost me much, I'll take them all. Yes,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: please give me all of them.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Can get seven for one deal.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's kind of changed the entire face. I mean,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: they they're now an IT team again, and they're still
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: a long way away from winning, but they You know,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: people are buzzing about the White Sox so far, and
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: he's probably the biggest reason. Do you know what his
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: nickname is, or at least for some people, I do not.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: They are calling him the big Dumpling.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Oh well, I really like that. I really like that
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: a lot. Oh man.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: So anyway, we have to face more COMI this weekend
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Big Dumpling, and he could have been on our team.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: We could add the dumper and the do the dumpling.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, PR missed PR opportunity right now. Heavily's throwing
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: things at the work.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: I would be too, That is a missed opportunity.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Finally, I is for info, and we're about ready to
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: get some really ter information here.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: I would think in the next twenty four.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: To forty eight hours. Obviously this six man rotation thing,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: whether what we're going to do with it, We're going
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: to have that answer here. I would assume by the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: end of the weekend. If Bryce Miller's going to be
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: activated before that. Now, keep in mind, he just pitched
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: and Everett what night was that Wednesday? So he probably
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: wouldn't even pitch until Thursday, Friday, set Monday, so he
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: might not be activated. I mean, I think Jude was
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: reporting that he would be activated at some point during
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the weekend series, but there's no really reason to activate
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: him until he can actually pitch for you that day,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: So they might try to buy some time, they might
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: decide to kill some time with this, but it sounds
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: like the next time that they feel he's ready to pitch,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: he will be as a Mariner. So when that happens, then,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, there are plenty of options right now to
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: send out David la or Simpson or Suarez who are
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: on the roster right now because we've had Spire hurt
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: and Brash hurt and some other things that have taken place.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: So that's gonna be an easy solution there of who's
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: roster spot that Bryce Miller takes. But of course the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: big question is then who gets demoted and what way
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: what form does that look like, and that'll be a
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: big topic of conversation heading into next week.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: The other thing is Brendan Donovan. I'm hoping we hear
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: it tonight I don't know if we will, but Brendan
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Donovan's going to be activated at some point during this
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: road trip to Chicago, And so the obvious thing is
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: that Leo Revoss then moves to the bench, thank goodness.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: And then I would think that the obvious move is
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: for Parda to then go back down to Tacoma. And
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Cal is ready for catching duties. So the only reason
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: not to happen is if Cal's not ready to get
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: behind the plate with his injury. So if Johnny Parda
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: has to stay on the roster, then I would think
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the roster crunch comes in the form of Connor Joe,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: who's done a couple of things. Think we have a
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: little more confidence in him than what we did at
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the start of the Connor Joe experience here in Seattle.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: And he looks he kind of just reminds me of
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: like a mortal combat hero. He's like a character.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Like he could have like leather fingerless gloves on, and
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: he's like fighting, punching.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: Right, and a really interesting helmet.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like laser beams come out of his eyes or
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: something like that. He's kind of got that look about him.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I would think it's Parada. I would think
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Cal's ready to resume catching. But if not, I think
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Connor Joe's the one that gets squeezed out, you know
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: if once you activate Donovan and I'm hoping we get
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: that information today, So yes, we're all waiting for information.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of information that is going to be
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: sent out in one giant Mariner pr release. I would
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: think at some point today that's going to clear up
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: some of our confusion that we have. Maybe it will
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: be two separate ones since they might not be in
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: any hurry to activate Bryce Miller. If he's not ready
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: to pitch right now like today, then maybe it's going
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to be in two separate ones. But we're going to
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: have the most two most interesting Mariner press releases of
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the season over the weekend.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: While the team's on the south.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Side, I'm going to be refreshing my email over and
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: over and all.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Right, coming up next, we're going to Ashley.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: Now are going to go pee.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: And then not together of course, but then we're going
• 30:41

  Speaker 2: a boat ride in Tennessee, and boy was she super pregnant,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: like really pregnant.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: How many like pregnant women just go on a boat
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: ride with their coworker friend.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: It was definitely not romantic. She refused to take photos
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: with anyone, and he was like, I'll take one, but
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: you can't post it.
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: You take your sudoku. I'm gonna take my cross.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: We'll sit on opposite ends of the boat.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Let's just go out as friend.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: It's just I want to.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Give me and my wife want to gift you something
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: during your pregnancy.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Will come for boat ride.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: That's an easy one to explain to the wife. Hey,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: what were you out doing today? I'm just hanging out
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: with pregnant Diana Russini in the.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, is there's something off about that Mother's Day
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: on Sunday? I'm not sure if you heard that. And
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: according to apparently every survey on Earth, all moms want
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: for Mother's Day is some free time. Time to do
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: absolutely nothing, relax, unwined, maybe read a book, kick their
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: feet up, have a glass of wine.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Sounds exactly what you're gonna do.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: It sounds sounds easy enough, right, Yeah, exactly what I'm
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: gonna do. Right, Mom's out there, let me know how
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: it goes.
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: As she downs her Yellowstone.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: I will be in Lacey with a boatload of other moms,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: not Mike Grabel, who would also have liked to be
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: doing that free time thing.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: But instead we're gonna be watching softball.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Now, before you go saying, oh God, you're a bad mom,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: you don't want to go watch softball, I love watching
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: my kids softball or her place off. Well, I should
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: say I watch about eight games a week lately. Yeah, yeah,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: And I just think if you're gonna acknowledge that it's
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Mother's Day by calling something a mom celebration tournament, you're
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: missing the point. Mom doesn't need an entire softball tournament
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: to feel celebrated. Mom needs sleep, Mom needs a clean house.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Mom needs gas to be cheaper, Mom needs to sleep
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: in her own bed, Mom needs booze.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: I feel bad for you, I do.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: I think that is very shortsighted whoever did this tournament
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: and they don't get it, And that is really sad
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: to say at this stage in life that you don't
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: understand that a mom just wants to be sort of
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: have her day to herself. Yeah, just to herself and
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: the people around, not by herself.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: But if it was a Father's Day tournament, all the
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: dads would be off doing their own thing and the
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: moms would be taking the kids to the tournament.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I feel really bad for you, But I'm
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: gonna say something. I think I feel worse for my
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: rabel because what on earth does he get Diana Russini
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: for Mother's Day? Great question?
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: What about his wife?
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah?
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: Does he have to get her something too?
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: He's got to get her all the things?
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, God, yeah, but he's just going to
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: try to kiss up to But what how do you
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: thread the needle of my mom?
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: Do we even know it's not his child? Don't?
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: I want to get something to the affair that I
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: had that became public, that's been going on for six years,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: and they may or may not be my children, and
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: you could be the mother of my children. And yet
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know, And yet maybe we do know, And
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: what do I what gift says that I'll tell you.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: What we do know is that Diana Ruscini had getting
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: anything from her husband.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I would hope not. Yeah, I hope he's not. Like
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I know, we've had some tumult.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Here, yea diamond.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: There's a bouquet of flowers. You really had a hard.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: Time show you how much you mean to me?
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: I will oh, I will also say this is not
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: the only Mom's day to them out there. We did
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: get a listener text on the Tacoma Dodge text line
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: him and his wife will.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: Be at the Bombs for Mom's tournament.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: His wife's pissed too, because yeah, it's a creative title.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: But mom doesn't need bombs. Mom needs sleep. Mom needs
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: a clean house. Mom needs gas to be cheaper. Mom
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: needs to sleep in her own bed. Mom needs booze.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Those are all the things mom needs. Notice baseball and
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: softball aren't on the list, right.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, as a really really big swing and a missah.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah you know what.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Hey, they're like, you know what, we're gonna make the
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: moms be there, but let's make them think it's for them.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, there we go.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: That's it. That's the booze news.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
