  Speaker 1: goodness sake. Let's go crazy people, let's get it going.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: We are always doing our show on opening day here
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: from Jimmy's on First, and so it is great to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: be back at our home away from home. And so
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: we launch into our second hour. We got a lot
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to accomplish here in this hour, including a green jacket
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: draft here in a matter of moments. But let me
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: first get to your frost brewed Corse like shoes Chill
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: headlines opening day first pitch seven to ten Logan Gilbert
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: versus Tanner Biby a right andder for the Guardians. That's
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: how the season will start. The roster is now set
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: for the Mariners. Ryan Bliss did make the team. Leo
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Revos will be starting at shortstop. It sounds like, even
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: though we don't have a lineup yet for game number one,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Jp Crawford starts on the IL, Bryce Miller starts on
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the IL. Emerson Hancock of course makes the starting rotation,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: but he'll actually start game four of the season, pushing
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Castillo back to game number five. That according to Adam
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Jude yesterday, and so a few different roster things, but
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: nothing unexpected. We kind of covered all of that on
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the show earlier this week, and nothing surprised us. The
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: television situation, and I'm not going to give the long
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: explanation like I did in the last segment. I'm just
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: going to say it as quickly as I can. If
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you have Comcast, that means you still have access through
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: your Comcast subscription to Mariner's broadcast. They're going to be
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: different broadcasts. They're not Root Sports anymore. They have created
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a new channel they had to wait till the negotiation
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: was done, which got done yesterday, and then they had
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to activate that channel, which they did overnight. So I
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: woke up this morning to channel twelve sixty one. It's
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: part of my subscription to Comcast and so I can
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: watch Mariners baseball. It will get kicked in with the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: pregame show today at six o'clock. So right now, it's
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: just screen that says, you know, pretty much, welcome to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Mariners Baseball. All right now, go to Mariners dot com
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: slash watch if you have any other way that you
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: watch television, streaming, Fubo, whatever that might be, and it
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: supposedly gives you a detailed definition of how you can
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: watch Mariners games this year. Plus there's the streaming option
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: out there as well for ninety nine dollars for the season.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Got it? Got it?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Okay? Other headlines. Yankee started the Major League Baseball season
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: yesterday with a seven to nothing win over the Giants.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Today's action gets started at ten fifteen with Pittsburgh at
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: New York to take on the Mets. The ABS Challenge
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: system introduced last night. It'll be a huge talking point
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: for us today on this show and throughout the season.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Sonics news yesterday. Of course, the NBA Board of Governors
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: approved Seattle and Las Vegas as expansion sites worth pursuing. Yesterday,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver said it's not a Garan t that the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Sonics will end up back here in Seattle, but he
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: feels that all systems are go toward that and he
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't see a reason why it shouldn't end up that way. Also,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Todd Laiwiki expressed a lot of confidence last night with
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Softy and with Dick right here at Sports Radio ninety
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: three point three kha RFM. And that's a guy to trust,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that guy Wiki. Guy JSN held his press conference yesterday
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to tell us he's rich. Also, the Seahawks will start
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the season on a Wednesday for the first time in
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: NFL history, as they begin defense of their title that
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: was made official yesterday. NCAA Tournament resumes tonight at four o'clock.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: The Sweet sixteen round is here, and the Kraken will
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: be in action tonight in Tampa against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: That's a lot, That is a lot. I'm tired, I'm
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: exhausted talk of that, all right. We don't normally do
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: this this early in the show. But Sonics News knocked
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: this off of our resume yesterday, and so we've got
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: not just one, but two Green Jacket drafts to do today,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and we now provide our first. It's our Major League
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Baseball season preview, all right. So what we're gonna do
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: if people aren't familiar with our Green Jacket, we do
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a draft as a way to preview major sporting events,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and it just gives us a little bit of rooting
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: interest through the season beyond just being baseball fans, and
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: gives us an excuse to trash talk throughout there. So
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna do is we're going to draft Major
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: League Baseball teams, and whatever fursome ends up with the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: most collective wins at the end of the year wins
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: our prize, which is our green jacket, which hangs in
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: our studios back there at home with Ashley, all right,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and so yeah, she's wearing it as we speak. So
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: this is, by the way, a draft for the new season.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It's a new season, it's not an old season draft.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: So this is for the new season since it won't
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: end until you know, September. Uh so, uh, this is
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: our Major League Baseball season preview. Draft, Ashley, do you
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: have our order?
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, Chuck, I'm so glad you asked.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you are.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I'm really not because you really can't make this stuff up.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Kid is first, kid, Chuck is second?
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: And guess where I am?
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Are you fourth? Yeah?
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I'm fourth and fifth?
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Oh there that's not bad.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Then yeah you got fifth? Yeah, way to go, Ashley.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: We got fifty pumps, all.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Right, kids first, then me, then Bucky and then Ashley.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: It is a snake draft. So Ashley does get fourth
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and fifth.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I did a second that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: She doesn't sound happy about it.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: No, I know I'm not gonna get the team I want.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think you are. Yeah, no, not all right? Kid, Well,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: what are we going to start with? Christopher Kidd's part
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of this as well. He's going to be a part
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: of both of our drafts. So I mean, you can't
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: have a green Jacket draft without Christopher Kidding. No, kid,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you got the first pick overall? What are you going
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to do? I will not shock anybody. I'll go Los
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Angeles Dodgers. Oh, Los Angeles Dodgers, idiot.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I're only gonna win one hundred kids.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: What a fool? Yeah? Oh man, you've lost your way.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, oh man, what's next?
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Well, your brain's gone to mush. It's working with that
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: James fella. Yeah yeah. I mean they have like an
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: over under in Vegas of like one hundred and two
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and a half. I mean, it is just absurd. The
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Mariners are at like eighty nine and a half and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: they're considered the American League favorite. Think about that gap
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: thirteen games difference. I don't know, honestly, I don't know
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: how much they're going to put in this season too,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: winning every game or or you know, winning one hundred
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and ten one. I don't think they value that at all.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I think, and I think it's smart. The Dodgers are like,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: we're going to be in the playoffs no matter what.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: So when we get to the playoffs, we want to
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: be at our absolute best. I mean they are so
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: loaded Bucky that the talk in Los Angeles is they're
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: not rushing Blake Snell at all. Imagine if you're the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Pirates and you had Blake Snell and you're spending that
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: much money, I mean, you can't wait to get them
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: out on the mound, right. The Dodgers are like, Eh,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: take your time, Blake, as long as you're ready by
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's all we care about because there's no
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: way we're not getting in the playoffs, and we want
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to be our best during the playoffs. Yeah.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean just baseball seasons are unpredictable because of
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: you know, health and then the fact that there's gonna
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: be bad streaks and hopefully they don't last very long.
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: And yet that's probably the one team that you almost
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: feel like, yeah, they could even I mean, they could
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: have multiple injuries and they're gonna be just fine. They're
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: definitely gonna make the playoffs. It's definitely the best number
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: one pick here.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, all right, the Fucky and Ashley groaned because they
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: didn't get the number two pick because they know what's
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: going to happen to them right now. They know what's
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: going to get slapped on.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: The imagine you're going to take hopefully the Orioles, t.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's true.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: You should really interesting thoughts and a nice cheap shot
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: as well thrown in there. But I'm going to take
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the hometown baseball squad. I just keep getting more and
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: more confident with every day I'm up till like ninety
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: eight wins. My feeling on this team. So give me
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: your Seattle Mariners with the second overall pick and our
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: green jacket.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: That's why I wanted number two. Yeah, I had a
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: feeling that.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: They actually wanted it for that reason.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: The guys would have taken them number one.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: Would you have taken them over the Dodgers ash potentially?
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, I had more fun.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: That's the one team I probably wouldn't have taken them over.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: But yeah, they're the I mean I I think there's
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: a lot of people that think Mets and Phillies, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: there's a couple of other teams that are right there
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: with them. I know Vegas has doesn't have the Mariners
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: up in number two spot, but they're right there.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I just feel like.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't have number two because the Yankees, Mets,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: they get so much gambling attention because of New York.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's a little that's a little more gambling. Yeah,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that's not a slight against the Mariners. That's just where
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the money's coming in.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: Right and yet, to me, I feel like the Mariners
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: are going to finish with the second best record in
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: all baseball.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe the first.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: I'm giving you two of these, Chuck, just so you KNOWL.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: You know, Bucky, give you give me too to see them.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I want six of these pointed right at me. I
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: won't do that to you, Chuck. It's okay. You're such
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: a kind soul. I love that guy. All right, Bucky,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you got the next selection. Sorry to break your heart.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: Ah, yeah, you're not sorry, but that's fine. I'm gonna
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: go ahead and go with I'm gonna go ahead and
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: take the I don't want to take in New York.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: You know what, I'm gonna take Philadelphia Phillies.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Going over with the Phillies. Yes, I heard a I
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: thought he was going Mets, thought he was gonna go Yankees,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: then ends up with the Phillies. I think that's a
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: good place to land. I mean, I know the Phillies
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: are going to be really good this upcoming year. They've
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: got a Zach Wheeler's going to be healthy within the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: month of April. That was a concern in the off season,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: but it looks like he's progressing quite nicely. I mean,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: they're about as sure a thing to be good as
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: there is not named the Dodgers this year. So I
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: think that's I think there are about four different directions
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you could go with the number three, But I think
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: that that's a that's a good place to land, all right, Ashley,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: get back to back selection.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess I'm gonna go to New York and
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: I'm just gonna double dip with the Mets and the Yankees.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Mets and Yankees. Oh man, that's got to feel gross.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Actually, it is making me feel like I could puke.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very puke.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I got a weird gross taste in my mouth at all.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I'm really kind of surprised that the national guys aren't
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: bigger on the Mets, because they usually are. But I
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: think that the national guys have gone so far with
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: their Mets praise during the Steven Cohen I'll just buy
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a championship era that they're now gun shy. I think
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: this is the best looking Mets team in the era
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that they've had of just trying to buy a championship.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, adding Bashett to Soto and Lynn Door, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: they've got depth ats starting pitching. I know they lost
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz, but a nice bounce back by getting Weaver
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and Williams. I think it's the best looking Mets team
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: on paper that they have had in the last five years.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: But I think a lot of people are gun shy
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: of predicting big things for them because they are terrible
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: at living up to expectation.
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they haven't done it since they've had the big
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: owner that's going out there and spending money, they still
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: have fallen short. And yet I do think they're as
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: about as talented as any team out there. And yeah,
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: it's a good pick by Ash. Both of those are
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: good pick.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: As much as I can't stand the Yankees.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: All right, Bucky, you are up next, sixth pick.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Overall, give me the Cubbies.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Ooh, going with the Cubs.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: Yes, I think the Cubs are there. I think they're
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: going to be the team that comes out of that
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: division this year. Tough division. I mean they play well,
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: they play tough. I think that they are going to
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: be a team that finds a way to get somewhere
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: around that ninety maybe ninety two wins.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I still like the Brewers, who I'm sure will
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: get drafted, But the Cubs on paper look more talented.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: It's just that that Brewers team has like a weird
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: special sauce that only they have access to. So maybe
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: we'll see the Brewers pick before our draft comes to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: a close. All Right, I got the next selection. I
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: don't know if you were Ashley heard, but I got
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the Mariners in the round.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so I'm going to add, well, I'm going
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to add the team that you we newly hate. Give
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: me the Blue Jays. I know it's going to be
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a really tough American League East, but I do think
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: they are the best team on paper in the AL East.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go ahead and take the Toronto Blue Jays. Obviously,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: they made it to the World Series a year ago,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: and I think they're a little bit better this season.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: So I think that's the biggest challenger to the MS
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: in the American League. So give me the blue Jays.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: All right, kid, you got back to back selections. You
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: started with the Dodgers. We should skip you in the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: second round.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you should get one.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and give you two picks in the third. That's
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: kind of rude. That's actually the exact same thing. No,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: it's okay.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I will go ahead and take the Detroit Tigers.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, Tigers. That's good. And then now it gets fun. Okay,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: go ahead and give me the I'll be a pirate
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: this year. Sleeper pick in the third round.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Give me your booty r Yes.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: You can't have my booty Pirate. Oh wow, that's a
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: little early. I don't mind them getting picked in the draft,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: but that's somebody like I got a sleeper and I
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: don't want them to be taken. So Kid goes with
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the Pirates and Ashley's not happy yet.
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I thought I could get it with my fourth pick easily.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I am up next. Man. I kind
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: of have to talk about the Brewers. I kind of
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: want to go there. But I took this team last year.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I thought they were going to be pretty good. They
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: didn't disappoint me, so I'm gonna take them because I
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: think they're even better this year. I think the Red
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Sox are a bigger threat to the Blue Jays than
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: even the Yankees. So give me Boston in round number three.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Red Sox.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: That's a good, good pick.
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: I think that they are going to fight for that
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: division as well. That division always kind of beats up
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: on each other, then they beat up on everybody else
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: at the same time. I think it's a good pick.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: I think it's a lot better than Pittsburgh.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Let all right, Bucky, you got the next selection. You
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: got the Phillies in the Cubs so far?
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: Oh boy, Do I take the Braves who totally screwed
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: me over last year? Nope, I'm gonna go ahead and
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: go with the Brewer. Even though I just said I
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: think the Cubbies win that division, I do think the Brewers.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: I think that college style that they play, with the
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: dirt bag kind of way of playing it does equate
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: to W's over the course of one sixty two.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Everybody gives up on them every year, and they overachieve
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: every year. I mean they have They're just a machine there,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: and it's hard to explain other than they just college
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: play the game the right way and they scratch out
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: runs and if you scratch out runs, you end up
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: scratching out wins over the course of one hundred and
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: sixty two. And don't sleep on the talent either. They
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: have a talented squad and they've got the number one
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: farm system and the sport coming up, so they got
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: they got help on the way reinforcements, So I like
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: that pick. I think they're going to be really good again.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: All right, Ashley, get back to back selections here in
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: our major League Baseball season preview, Green Jacket Draft. Who
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: you're going to add to the Mets and Yankee? Sorry,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: you're out of New York team.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: I know, bummer Well, I do remember the Brave screen
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: Bucky Over last year, but I'm going to take fly
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: on him and I'm gonna take the Braves. And the
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Orioles screwed me over last year, but I'm gonna give
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: him another chance and take the Orioles.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I like your Orioles pick. I mean, yeah, it's a
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: little worrisome that they were supposed to be so good
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: last year and they bottomed out like that. Yeah, it
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't really make sense. I do think they bounced back.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure about the Braves. They've already got like
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: four of their starting pitchers on the IL to start
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the season. I'm not sure that they do have a
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: winning formula going right now in Atlanta. But there's a
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: lot of talent there, that's for sure. Austin Riley looks
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: great in the spring, Ronald Dcuony is healthy and probably
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: gonna have a monster year. There's no doubt that they
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: have enough talent to make it worth that pick a
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: third round selection. But there's just some that seems something
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: off about that organization. Right now, I hear you.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I don't feel good about it.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: All right, Bucky, to your last pick, Go ahead, give
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: me the Detroit Tigers.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Kid already took the Tigers. Oh he did.
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Oh gosh, dang it. Okay, well, then I'll go
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: ahead and take Cleveland Guardians.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: In Cleveland Guardian, the kid had not taken the Tigers,
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: I would have.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Good starting pitching for the Guardians. They always find arms.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Jose Ramirez, even though the idiots yesterday that I had
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: to listen to didn't even call him a star, is
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: a superstar and one of the probably seven best players
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: in the world. So don't be an idiot, is the
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: advice I would give to other talk show hosts. All Right,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go next. I'm gonna stay in that Yeah,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay in that division too. I think the
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Royals are gonna win that divisions. I got Bobby Witt
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Junior having an MVP year this year. I think Kansas
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: City is going to actually win the American League Central.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: All right, kid, you got the last selection in our draft.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Who's it going to be. I'll take the Giants, taking
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the Giants. Wow, Padres didn't get taken, the Astros didn't
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: get taken. Take that Astros. I'll say this, I had
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: a sleeper pick too, the A's. I think the A's,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: my find, will finish second in our division last year. Wow.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: That's a really good, young, offensive baseball team in an
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: offensive ballpark, and I think they are going to finish
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: with a better record than the Astros and the Rangers,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: neither of which got picked here today.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I'm down with that.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: I'm down with them getting to eighty wins or so
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: and making the Astros and Rangers in the last place.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I'm fine with that, all right.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: So there you go. There's our Green Jacket draft for
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the season. Kid with the Dodgers, Tigers, Pirates, and Giants,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Chuck with the Mariners, Blue Jays, Red Sox and Royals,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: an entire American league affair. Bucky with the Phillies, Cubs,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Brewers and Guardians. Ashley with the Mets, Yankees, Braves, Orioles.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I can't believe she loves New York that much. I can't.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw up, So let the games begin. We
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: actually have a second Green Jacket draft that will be
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Mariners exclusive coming up a little bit later on in
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the show at nine o'clock. It's something that we do
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: every year on Opening Day, but come coming up next,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I do want to have that conversation that a lot
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: of people are having here locally, and that is is
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: this a World Series or bust season for the Mariners?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM putting one on
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: our own station that keeps bringing up the World Series
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: or bust conversation, And I would just I certainly want
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: to get your opinion on whether or not it feels
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: like that type of the season, but I would just
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: say it depends on what your definition of World.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Series or bust is, right.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I do believe this is a year where if you
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: don't make it to the World Series, it is a
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: major disappointment, even if you win one hundred and ten games.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to be crushing for the players,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be crushing for the
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: fans that if you have this good of a team
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: and you don't win the World Series that yeah, I mean,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: it's win a World Series. That's the only goal. So
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: if you don't achieve your goal, you're gonna be disappointed.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: But I've always kind of attached the phrase world series
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: or bust to we're all in on this team and
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: if this doesn't work, we're breaking it all up, and
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: we're nowhere close to that. I mean, look, the postseason
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball is highly volatile, highly unpredictable. I
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: think we could end up having the best team in
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: baseball this year and still not win the World Series.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: That's happened plenty of times before in Major League Baseball
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: history because of the unpredictability of the playoffs. So I
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: don't think that, even though it would be disappointing, there's
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: no way you're going to break up the great thing
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: that's going on with this organization. We should be in
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: contention for the next seven years on its head. And
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: so to me, that's just too dramatic of a statement
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: to make. Unless you're saying we're all going to be
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: disappointed if we don't win the World Series, if that's bust,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: and I guess that's a World Series or bust year.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Well, I think that's where I normally go with it,
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: is that second way, right, I mean, I get what
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: you're saying, where a lot of times it's World Series
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: or bust, like if if if it's not this year,
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: then it ain't happening. You know, if it's not this year,
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: then we're gonna we're gonna, we're gonna bust this thing
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: up and we're gonna move on. I look at it
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: as World Series or bust World Series or was the
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: season a bust? And I think that even that, to me,
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: is a little bit over the top. But I don't
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: think that the expectations can be or are in that clubhouse.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: I don't think there are anything less than getting to
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: the World Series, right. I mean, now winning the World
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: Series again, that's a that's a lot to just get
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: to it, right, I mean, you've got a lot of
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: stuff between now and then, and so many things can
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: happen injury wise, and you know, have a bad streak
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: here and there. You're you're gonna have guys that you
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: dret that that you're expecting to have really good seasons,
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: have poor seasons.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Hopefully you have a couple.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Guys that you aren't expecting much out of that have
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: really good seasons that kind of averages itself out over
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: the course of a season. Now, you can't have you
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: can't have, you know, some big time guys in your
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: starting rotation and in the core the heart of your
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: lineup go down the last month of the season or
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: with three months left in the season, and then they're
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: gone for the entire season, and expect that you're going
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: to have the same type of oomph going through the playoffs.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: And so you could still you could have a really
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: good team for half the season and a couple bad
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: things happen injury wise, and now all of a sudden,
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: your chance is to even get to the World Series
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: are are by the wayside. So to sit here and
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: predict it's either you win the World Series or it's
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: a bust. This whole thing is a mess, Well that's
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: just not true. I mean this thing, like you said,
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: this thing is right now at the very infant stages
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: of being a World Series contender, and I don't think
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: that changes regardless of how this season goes. That said,
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: I think that if you ask anybody over in that clubhouse,
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: you don't If they don't get the Mariners to the
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: first time ever to the fall class they can play
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: in the World Series, everybody over there will feel like
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: this was a failed season. That's where their expectations are
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: is get to the World Series at a minimum, and
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: once you get there, you might as well win.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: The whole thing, right, Yeah, yeah, And they were talking
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: about that in the spring, and they're owning that, like, yeah,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: we're about the World Series this year, and anything short
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: of that will be a disappointment, There's no question about it.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: But I think that you could end up having a
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: great year. You don't quite you fall a little bit
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: short wherever that happens in the playoffs. And I'm right
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: back this offseason talking about how this team's a World
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Series contender again for next year. I can promise you that.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: And so I think of like the Detroit Lions might
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: be closing in on Super Bowl or bust. You know
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: where they look like they were in a championship window.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: They looked like they had the best team in the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: National Football League two years ago, and they didn't even
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: make it to the super Bowl. And then the next
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: year they come back and they don't even get into
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. I mean, they might be closing in on
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl or bust. We need to go all in
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: on this current group to try to win this damn thing,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and if we don't, we might have to consider tearing
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: a few things down, rebuilding in a little bit of
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: a different way, especially if we take another step back
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: like we did in twenty twenty five, where we could
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: end up having a really good year, great year, not
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: win the World Series, not get to the World Series,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: and yet the mission remains the same. You still are
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: on a ship that's operating with turbo engines right now,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and so you just kind of restarted again. So I
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: guess it just depends on the definition of the word.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I think it's a disappointment to everybody if they don't
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: make it to the World Series, because they have made
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: it the one and only goal. But I just don't
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: look at we bust out if it doesn't happen this year.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I think we're still a World Series contender next year,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: World Series contender the year after that. And the way
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I see it, I think that's like we got like
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: seven years of World Series contention lying ahead of us,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and that's a credit to the organization and the Executive
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Office for how well they structured this organization.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hundreds.
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: I'm sitting here right now, we haven't played one game yet,
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: and I'm thinking to myself that if they don't get
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: to the World Series, I would feel like they came
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: up short of what they're capable of right now.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: We got a long ways to go between now and then, and.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: So I will just reserve the right to if they
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: get to the postseason and all of a sudden they
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: run into a buzzsaw or there's a bunch of injuries
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: that they're played with, or whatever it might be, and
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: they don't even get as far as they got last year.
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: They don't even get as close as they did that
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: I could say this team is still poised for a
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: run at the World Series in the coming years. So
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: it's not a bust of the overall climate of Mariners Baseball.
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: But this season, anything short of getting to the World
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: Series for the first time, I'm gonna feel like as
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: a disappointment starting here on opening Day, all.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Right, Pete wo Worth, it's going to join us at
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: eight o'clock. Jerry Depota's gonna join us at nine five.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: A lot more to discuss with the Mariners, including the
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: abs system, what's the Mariner's lineup gonna look like on
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: opening night, But we do have to find some time
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: to talk about yesterday's monster news. The Sonics appear to
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: be on the path toward coming back Willer from Adam
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Silver and toddlight Wicki next on Kjar.
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: There's an absolutely chance expansion may not happen, and that's
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: why we were careful to say exploring the process. And
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: it's also possible that we could expand to one market
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: and two to two or zero markets. That's sort of
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: what's on the table right now as to why it
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: might not happen, at least standing here today, there's nothing
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: that I see in the relatively short term future of
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: this league that would indicate in any way that there
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: won't be enormous interest in those markets and that the
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: board will continue to support moving forward.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: That's Adam Silver yesterday NBA press conference talking about the
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: NBA Board of Governors approving the go ahead and let's
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: seek expansion in the cities of Las Vegas and of
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: course Seattle, Washington. Welcome. It's Chuck and Bucket Live from
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Son first here on opening day. Most of our
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: show is going to be certainly about the Mariners, but
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: we can't ignore the monster story that we dealt with yesterday.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: It does look like we're on track to the Sonics
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: returning here to Seattle as a member of the National
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Basketball Association and Adam Silver's press conference. I mean, I
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: get bucky. Why people are like, man, I didn't hear
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: magic words, you know. Seemed to me like there was
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: an awful lot of doubt that he was also spilling,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: like a few more obstacles and hurdles to clear. I
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: get after having listened to the press conference, why you
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: heard a few things that he said that made you go,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: h oh, that's not very committal. And yet you gotta
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: understand this guy's at an attorney first and foremost. He
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: is covering his scrawny, weird shaped ass, is what he's doing. Okay,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: he is as good. He's got a silver tongue, that one.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I think he got that in the spaceship when his
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: alien mother gave birth to him.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: As possible.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Ah, but he is, he is, just he's making sure
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: that he's covered. I don't think you have much to
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: worry about. Frankly, I'm not saying we're there, but I
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: think that there was enough in that press conference to
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: say that we wouldn't be doing this if we weren't
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: doing this. That's kind of what I read into it.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: But I can see how people heard from Adam Silver yesterday. Man,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: he doesn't seem like he's proposing right now. I'll say
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: that no.
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean I think that he flat out said,
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: I don't know if it was yesterday or day before,
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: he flat out said that there's a chance that no
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: expansion happens, that they do one team, two teams, or
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: no teams.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: It's possible.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: And so yeah, he's covering his own butt. And yet
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: I don't think that this is I think that's all
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: that that is. I think that's all that those sayings are.
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: It boils down to, yeah, you still have to the
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: liwiki group and all of that. They still have to
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: court the NBA, the owners and and come to them
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: with money and all of the other things like look
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: at how well we can do all this other stuff
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: the building, and how are you going to run this thing?
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: Because it is a marriage of sorts, you're basically asking
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: these owners, hey, can we get into your little minausee
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: thirty thing?
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: But we we want in on this bad boy.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I wish I knew what the French word for thirty
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: was awesome minase.
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: I don't know exactly, but I will say, I mean,
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: you're you're asking them to let you into their group,
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: and so it's not just money, it's not just do
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: you have a building, it's a lot of things. And
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: yet that was one thing that Laiwiki talks about is
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: we're not worried one bit about whether we're going to
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: be able to achieve or convince them of how well
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: we can do it once we get in the group.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: And so to me, I don't feel like there's a
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: whole heck of a lot to worry about, because I
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: do We've seen it already. We've seen it with Kraken
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: Todd Laywickie's has been down this path with the Tampa
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: Bay Lightning before. He has been there, he has done that.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: He knows exactly what they're looking for, and he's going
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: to show them. Yep, we got all those you know,
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: all those tease crossed and those ies dotted. And so
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, it's lawyer speak or it's a guy
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: covering his own butt like nothing's guaranteed yet, and nothing
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: is guaranteed, but I think you're about as close as
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: you've ever been, and I don't see it stopping.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Well, let's hear from li WICKI was on with Softie
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: last night and had this to say.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: I think today is a day of validation of Sonics
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: fans and all of Seahawk or all of Seattle sports fans,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: because it is really without the fans, none of what
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: we're about to talk about really happens. And I think,
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: what's an amazing and you know what, it almost sounds
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: tried to say it, but our fans in this town
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: are the greatest sports fans of the world, and you
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: can measure it pound for pound. We have the best
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: sports fans that there are. And I think that today
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: is another important step and you know, maybe correcting, you know,
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: making something right that was wrong eighteen years ago, and
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: it is exciting. We're not there yet, but it's definitely
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: a positive, positive step.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: And that gives me the comfort that makes me as
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: confident to make some of the bold statements I've made
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: about this process. Makes it That's why I go out
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: on that limb, because he's gone out on that limb,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: and I think he knows what he's doing for goodness sake.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: So if he's talking positively, I feel great about it.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk positively. And I think that it
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: is I think that there is an analogy to make here. Yeah,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I don't think that we're at the church. We're not
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: getting ready to get married. At this point. We've at
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: least been given we're exclusively only to you. We know that, right,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: We at least have a promise ring going. I think
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: we can, you know, maybe start a hope chest. Okay,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: putting some stuff away, getting ready for a couple of
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: years from now, okay, registry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: that Adam Silver had a bulge in his left pocket
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: and that was a ring. Like he's bought the ring.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: He just hasn't got down on the knees yet. Okay, Yeah,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: So I think he's bought the ring for both think
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: he's got a bulge in both pockets. I think he's
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: bought the rings for both teams. He just hasn't got
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: down on the knee and proposed yet. But I think
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: it's all systems go. I feel great about it, not
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: just good about it, great about it.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: No, I'm with you, and I get where a lot
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: of people are gonna fall short of that just simply
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: because they've been burned before. So to each his own,
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: I'm just I'm with you. I mean, we know Todd
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: lightwiki enough, Todd laiwiki. If he was like, well, we
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: still got a really big hurdle overcome, and I'm not
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: sure we're going to be able to what he'd say.
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: He'd say that, Yeah, he's not saying that. He's like saying,
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: I know what they're going to ask, I know what
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: they're going to be concerned about, and we're gonna show
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: him we can do it as well as anybody.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I'm in.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: All right, let's build the liwiki statue right now. We
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: can start that mold right now.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: I've already been making it out of tinfoil.
• 34:19
