Chuck in the Morning 9/18 H4: X's & O's with Hugh Millen, ABC's of the Mariners & One Last Thing · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Joining us now for X's and O's is our QB1,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hugh Mellon. Hello, sir. How are you? We're doing good.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Good to be with you. Yeah, yeah. I can always
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: tell when Hugh chose the song. Tell you that much
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: right now. I kind of know your taste. It's good taste.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Great taste. The historian. Child
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of the 70s. Roosevelt High School. Love it. The Who,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the Stones, man. Yeah. The best. Just keep it right
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: in the center lane. That's right.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: No reason to veer.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: That's right. You're absolutely right. Come on. So right. All right, man.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes. Yes, please. All right, so Cardinals this week,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a backup quarterback. Nothing that we really wanted to happen,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: but Drew played well filling in last week, and now
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: he gets ready for the Cardinals. So what do you
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: want to see out of Drew Locke that maybe we
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: haven't seen before?
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Well, I think he's got to clean up some operation
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: that costs him down second and inches. He's up at
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the line scrimmage looking at his wristband. You get a
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: delay game, that in all likelihood cost them four points
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: because you get the field goal not to touchdown there
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: from inside the two, three-yard line. You get a beautifully
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: designed touchdown pass to Cooper Cup on a slant where
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: they get the nice pick and it's a walk-in touchdown,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: but you didn't get everybody set before. He canned the play,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: so there's a lot going on there. Had to switch
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Helani from right to left in the protection scheme and
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: then send Cooper Cup in motion or in a shift,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: and everybody didn't get set. So you get a touchdown
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: call back. You get a field goal there. So that's
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: arguably eight points just by the offense that you give
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: up through mechanics. I know that's a big issue for
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Mike McDonald. Pete Carroll will be like, hey, we'll get
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: it right. No, Mike McDonald has an entirely different approach
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: on that. He gets very involved with the offense, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: he demands that they spend a lot of time to
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: clean that stuff up. So you start there. Other than that,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I thought he played really, really well. I mean, he
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: protected the ball. There was maybe one that could have
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: got intercepted early on, the corner out to the sideline
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: that was blanket coverage. But other than that, he kept
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: the ball out of harm's way. And then he ends
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: up coming out of week one the third highest quarterback
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: in the NFL for a big time throw percentage. And so,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: you know, there's a number of ones we've highlighted them
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: throughout the week. And so, so make the plays and,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: and clean up the, the, the mechanics of, of quarterback
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: in the in and out that the stuff that happens
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: before the ball snapped. And, and, and then, and then
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I'm eager to just see how he marries with Brian
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Flory with each of them, having a week to know
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: that he's the guy.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Do you feel they should go conservative with the game plan,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: or do you think Drew's proven enough to just let
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: it rip? Whatever you would have done with Sam, do
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it with Drew. It's a great question.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I think that for this game, and you've heard me
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: say in the past, hey, I think Seattle's catching X
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: opponent on a good week, and this is a good
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: time to play them. I think it's good for Seattle
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: that they had the 10, 11 days to a little
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: extra prep there. But I think that this is not
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: a good time to catch the Cardinals because there's always
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: a juice when you have a new head coach. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: this team's going to be feeling their oats after having
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: had that somewhat surprising victory against the Chargers on the road.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Now they come home. That can be a relatively fickle,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: dispassionate fan base. But then there are occasions where they
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: can rev it up. It's not going to be Lumen
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Field loud, but every dome stadium has a capacity to
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: be loud. I think there's going to be some juice
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: in that stadium on a relative scale that we usually
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: don't see playing the Cardinals.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: So I.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Think that they're going to have to combat that, that energy.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: And then you just, you know, you see how Locke plays.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, you start things off. Don't try
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: and push the ball down the field. But similar to
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: what we saw against the Patriots, I think as he
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: gets comfortable, you know, maybe the second, third series, you know,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: maybe take some shots, maybe do some flood concepts where
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: you're trying to. you know, deep intermediate and shallow where
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: more often it's going to be an intermediate throw. Maybe
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: you get an 18, 20 yard corner route or sail
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: route or something or something, a deep in route, a
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: dagger route for 18 yards. You know, maybe that's in
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the in the, in the works for the second or
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: third series, if not the first.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millen is with us. Our QB1 X's and O's
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: with Hugh Millen every Friday during the football season. And
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: we are getting set for Seahawks Cardinals on Sunday. I
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: know that you watched that Cardinals game probably certainly out
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: of preparation, but also probably a lot of intrigue. Like
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: how did they beat the Chargers that badly? You shoved
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of things into the round table at the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: very end of the show that in regards to it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Chance to stretch your legs a little bit on what
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you saw from that Cardinal game footage last week. What
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: did you see that impressed you that could give the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Seahawks a little trouble this week?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Well, the Cardinals, look, it's a young season, but they
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: come out of that game and now they sit second
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: in the NFL in time of possession. They were at 35-46.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: They held the ball. I mentioned Drew Locke and he
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: ranks third in big time throw percentage at 8%. Brissette
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: was 2.4%. So really didn't push the ball down the field.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: They finally had an opportunity where they weren't rolling the
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: coverage to Marvin Harrison. So he throws a go route,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: very well thrown ball. You know, he stabbed a, a
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: seam route into Trey McBride. And, you know, there was
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: a layering concept to that, that you have to throw anticipation.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I think he was 27 yard gain on that one. And,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: But I think it was generally just get the ball
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: out quick, relatively easy throws. A couple of guys that
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: get your attention, everybody knows Trey McBride. He is on
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: the late downs. He was targeted 50% of all plays
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: on late downs. Now, early downs was 31%, but on
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: third and fourth down, McBride is going to be where
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Bursette is looking. In the red zone, he was 57%
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: of all targets. So cover the tight end. Kendrick Bourne,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: eight attempts, eight completions. Four for 37 yards in the slot,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: four for 38 yards out wide. And then it's interesting. Now,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: no fair looking it up. Guys, do you know who
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the highest paid player for the Cardinals is on a
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: per annual basis. We're on the honor system.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Don't look it up. I won't. I won't. The Cardinals
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: highest paid players.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Is it, I'm going to take a shot. It's Kyler Murray.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Cause they're paying him somewhere else.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Right. No. Well, I'm going to exclude him. You may
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: be right on that. Michael Wilson. It's Michael Wilson.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't know.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I watch a lot of tape. I would have never
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: said that, you know, maybe Josh sweater, or McBride, or whomever.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: At any rate, he.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Had five catches for 56 yards. Here's a thought for you.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Jeremiah Love had 41 yards. The NFL officially tabulated. He
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: had 41 yards rushing. He had 48 yards after contact.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Think of that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: The only way that that happened is on a constant
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: basis that he's getting hit behind the line.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Of scrimmage, you know?
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: So, uh, and, and he was, he's an outside zone,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: you know, seven carries, uh, 29 yards outside. So, um,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: it'll be interesting to watch him, but you're going to
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: have to have the edge set, uh, because he has
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: the speed, uh, and, and obviously as the, as the
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: number implies, you know, he's strong. He's a lot stronger than, uh,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Jadarian price, who he's going to be compared to on Sunday. Uh, but, uh,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: that's a factor, is the desire for them to get
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: outside in the running game.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millen is with us, X's and O's, here on
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: this Friday, getting you set for Seahawks Cardinals Sunday at
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: 125 as the start time. So, your Mike McDonald, your secondary,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: showed out pretty well against Drake May. I mean, Nick
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Imanwari's still not back, Hugh, but how much better do
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you feel about the parts without Okada and Imanwari on
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the defense?
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Well, I just feel like whoever it's, if Mike McDonald
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: says a guy can play, uh, you know, he can play. And, and,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: and so the guys that you mentioned, you know, you
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: got a safety that was, was on the street a
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: few days ago, and then he had a, had a
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: hell of a game and, and Nehemiah Pritchett, uh, they
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: had thought highly of him going through the off season.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: And then lo and behold.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: You know, it, It took a little bit of a
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: circuitous route because you're dipping your toe with these other
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: corners throughout training camp and all of August.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: But then Nehemiah Pritchett, you know, he shows up and
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: balls out. So I feel.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Good about where the Seahawks are defensively in a couple
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: of cases. he had the Jacoby Preset, he lines up,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: he was 11 personnel. It's one running back, one tight end,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: three wide receivers, 22 out of 29 for 249 yards.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: No other group had more than three attempts. So Mike McDonald,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: he's going into this He kind of knows what they
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: want to do there.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Play action.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: The Cardinals' offense was only 15%. The league average is 27%.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: So you're going to, on a relative scale, you're just
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: going to be able to line up, look at that,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: be able to anticipate what they're doing, and then he
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: can work his magic with whatever pressures and sim pressures
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: that he wants to have. So I feel like Mike
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: McDonald is probably feeling in his mind, like I want
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: to keep this to 14 points or less. Like I'm
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: going to, if they get to 15, I'm going to
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: be disappointed. That's a, that's a big ask, uh, in
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: the national football league. But, uh, you know, I, I
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: think that the defense has the ability to do that.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: All right. Um, I know we talked about this in
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the round table, uh, but Jadarian price, I mean, um,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: how impressed you were with him and seeing him last week,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and then how much more you'd like to see him
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: used this Sunday.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Well, setting aside any, okay, long-term, when I mean long-term,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: I mean for the season long-term. Like where do we
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: want to be with him in December and January? And
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: that's a credible objective, right, is to preserve him. And
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: particularly if you think that he's relatively– I don't want
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: to say frail, but he's not the most thick. He's
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: not the thickest running back in the league. Can we
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: agree on that? I want to see him because I
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: think it's a good weapon to help the quarterback. I
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: think there's a lot of confidence in Drew Locke, but
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: I still feel like having that running game be successful.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say lean on the running game.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Because what I hate about this, and it's like a
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Venn diagram. There's things I agree with, and then there's
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: things I really don't agree with. Yes, I agree that
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: it's going to help Drew Locke if he has a
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: good running game. But I don't agree just running on
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: first down, running on second down. Now it's third and six. Hey, quarterback,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: bail us out on third and– no, wait a minute.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: If you're like 48% third down conversions in the NFL,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: you're lead the league. So the time to make– some
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: plays and get a quarterback in rhythm is, and Mike
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Holmgren would be absolutely agreeing with this first and 10,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: let him throw the damn ball, you know, but when
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: you do hand the ball off on first and 10,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: you'd rather get seven yards than three yards. And I
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: think that price with his, his juice. Now all of
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: his runs were outside wide zones and various, they had
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: pin and poles and there was different schemes and there
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: was an off tackle lead, but, but they were all
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: outside other than the second one where they're trying to
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: go straight up the middle on a play called duo.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: But that acceleration really puts a stress on a defense
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: because they have to get moving. Well, if we went
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: out to a park and we said, all right, we're
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: going to line up, and then we said, okay, you
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: have to sprint, and then when I blow a whistle,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: come to the fastest stop you can. If you are
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: sprinting 100%, then it's going to take you a lot
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: longer to stop than if you were running at 90%
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: or 95%. Agreed?
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: If you're running at 90% and I.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Blow the whistle, you can stop a lot faster than
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: you can if you're running 100%. Is that pretty self-evident, right?
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: So if you're a linebacker and you're standing there and
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: you don't know what to play, ball's snapped and you
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: immediately read outside zone and you know that cat is
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: has that kind of acceleration, man, you better get on
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: your horse now and you better like turn your hips
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: and go to that spot. And, and, you know, you're
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: gonna have to sift through some trash maybe, uh, uh,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: and all that, but you better, everybody's got to flow
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: to that spot because he's just getting there faster.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Well, then at that point, when he makes a cutback,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: you're like, well, wait a minute, wait, well, I was
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: already sprinting to the sideline.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Cutting back on me.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: It's just a lot harder to stop. And so, so
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I think that if you're going to run that scheme, uh,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: uh the wide zone having the acceleration that price has
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: really uh you know puts a stamp to it.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I remember when i used to run sprint i was
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: a lot like bo jackson like i would just go
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: into the tunnel because there was no slowing that train
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: down you know what i mean.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah you know what we need to put a parachute
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: pack on you right and there's no other.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Way to stop this i can't tell you or Can't
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: tell you how many times I reminded people of Bo
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Jackson as a young athlete. Yeah, I can't tell you
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: that either. I'm still looking for him. Very Bo-like, as
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: it turns out. Yeah, post-hip surgery. Yeah, yeah, that's what
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: it was. People would watch me play sports and they're like,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: do you have a hip out? Yeah, that's what they
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: would say.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: When the blood is no longer feeding the femur, there's
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Chuck Powell for you.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: There it is. I made the most of it. Well,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: let me close with this, and I want to just
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: tap into just your own career. I mean, you are
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: always self-deprecating when it comes to your career, but you
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: obviously had an awful lot of success. And yet, of course,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: you wanted to play more. You wanted to start more
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: during your NFL career. Uh, and did you have a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: moment like drew might have on Sunday where he's not
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: just playing for the Seahawks really? I mean, he's kind of,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: this might be like his last chance to like show people, Hey,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I have a great team around me. I can lead
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: a great team. and he's kind of like showing off
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the National Football League this weekend
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: if he wants to be a starter. I'm sure you
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: had a game or two like that during your course
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: of your NFL career. Is it impossible to have that
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: not creep into your thoughts as you're standing in the
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: tunnel getting ready to go onto the field?
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Well, we don't want Drew Locke or any other Seahawk
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: following my career, so let's just get that straight. But
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: I was with the Falcons– There was a seven-game losing streak.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Chris Miller broke his collarbone against Tampa. And then I
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: ended up starting the last two games. And we beat
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: the Rams. And then the Cowboys had to– it was
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: very simple. They had to beat us to be in
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: the playoffs with Jimmy Johnson's, I think, second year. Or
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: they're out. And then we beat the Cowboys. And so
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: that got me nine contract offers. Yeah. And so, you know, unfortunately,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: they weren't really attractive. I had to go to the
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: one in 15 Patriots to start.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: But you know what? You get a chance to start.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: I would say let's let's talk about something that Drew
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Locke could could really sink his teeth into because he
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: he wants to cover his eyes if he's looking at
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: my career. Malik Willis last year for the Packers had
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: one start against Baltimore, 18 to 21, 288 yards, one touchdown.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: No picks.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: I was asked by the 33rd team to break him down.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: So I watched every play of Malik Willis. He ends
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: up for the season 30 of 35, 422 yards, three touchdowns,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: no picks. And I looked at everyone, made the presentation.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: It wasn't just the stats, guys. He was really making
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: big-time plays, like great decisions, big-time throws down, you know, anticipatory,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: smoking the ball, running when he needed to. He looked
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: like a legitimate all-pro quarterback. for 35 attempts. He goes
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: to Miami for $ 45 million guaranteed. So 35 pass attempts,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: $ 45 million guaranteed. He had $ 1. 28- something million guaranteed per pass
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: attempt for what he did as the backup to Jordan Love.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: So when you're talking about his future, absolutely, it's laying
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: there right for him like that. And so, yeah, I
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: don't know that he's thinking about Malik Willis, but I
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised if he's thought about Malik Willis.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: All right, man. Awesome stuff as always. Look forward to
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: recapping it on Monday with you. Rock and roll. Enjoy, guys.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: There he is. Our QB1, Hugh Millen, joining us right
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: here every Friday for X's and O's like only he
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: can do it. And he will be our Monday morning
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: quarterback as well from 8 to 10. So make sure
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: you tune in for the best recap in town of
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Seahawks Cardinals. All right, coming up next, I'm going to
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: squeeze some in. You know, I got to squeeze a
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: little bit in. Haven't talked about it really all show long.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: ABCs of the M's, Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. But
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: we will do our ABCs of the M's. They're in
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Colorado to face the Rockies. Six games out, nine games
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: to go. Could be eliminated by the time we're back
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: on the airwaves. on Monday. And of course, the expectation
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: is there is no chance to overcome this mountain of
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: a deficit. And yet there are plenty of things to discuss.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: And so that's why we go through the alphabet. We
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: left off the letter P. P is for pitchers. You know,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: it'll sneak up on you. This sports world, you might
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: think that life is It could be a grind, 162
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: games a year. Man, it's such a grind. And then, oh,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the hard offseason to get into shape. And then, oh,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: reporting to training camp. And then the next thing you know, Anders,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: you look up, you're Logan Gilbert. and you are one
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: year away from free agency. Six years of your career
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: have passed. You've made some great friends. You've won a
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: lot of games with those friends. And yet you might
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: be done. You might be making your last couple of
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: starts here as a Seattle Mariner. If not you, George
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Kirby could be making his last couple of starts as
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: a Seattle Mariner. And I think in his post-game comments
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the other night, you kind of heard the pain in
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: his voice of, man, we were sure we were going
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: to win a world championship together. We were convinced of it.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: And we were going to be the group that led
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: us there. This was going to be our crowning achievement
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: as a group. And you've never seen a group get
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: along better than these guys. They are so close to
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: one another. But it might start getting broken up this offseason.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I predict that it will
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: start getting broken up. And so this core, this fivesome,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: and if you want to throw Castillo in that group
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: as one of the five, he's already left town. Yep.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: They're not going to win a world championship together. It's
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: just not going to happen. And I think the reality
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: of that is setting in.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Let's clarify, you're not saying that the window for the
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Mariners is closing, but with this specific group... No, why
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: would I need to clarify? No, I'm just making sure
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: everyone understands. But with this specific group, the team's going
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: to look different next year. You have one of your
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: big leaders in J.P. Crawford that's most likely going to
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: move on. Randy Rosarino has been a key part of
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: the offense, is going to move on. And what you
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: just mentioned with the pitching staff is, I think, very true.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: They have to really kind of realize that this kind
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: of core that they've put together... um is gonna look
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: at least somewhat different already does yeah steel's already gone
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: exactly so it is kind of a weird feeling as
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: a mariner fan because once with baseball i made the
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: reference earlier in the week to baltimore they thought that
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: they they had this super young core that would be
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: good for years and years and years and just two
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: years after that after they win the al east they
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: end up having to sell off a lot of those
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: main parts because they're just not competing. The window's closed
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden. They have to find a new one.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: So hopefully that doesn't happen with these guys, but I
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: think it's definitely a reality that you will have at
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: least somewhat of a different core coming into the year
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: in 27.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Marty Las Castillo, I'm sure you're going to lose Kirby. Yeah.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I would pay Gilbert. I think he's Gumby. I know
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: he had some injuries the year ago, but of all
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the people, and you can knock on whatever wood you want.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: That to me, and I'm talking about all of baseball,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: not just on this rotation, the way that he trains,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the way that he works out, I think he is
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the lowest injury risk starting pitcher in Major League Baseball.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: And I would take that money, I say, from Castillo,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: and I would invest it in Logan Gilbert. And I'd
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: give him five years, 150, which would make him the
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: highest paid player on the team. And that still might
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: not get it done. Frambois Valdez signed a $ 40 million
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: contract per season a year ago, and he's not as
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: good as what Logan Gilbert is at this stage of
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: their careers. So I don't know if that'll get it done,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to try. I'm going to try to
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: keep Logan Gilbert. That's what I'm going to try to
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: do this offseason, and that probably will represent the big
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: financial spend. of the off season, unfortunately, but I'm going
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: to try to keep Logan Gilbert and I'm going to
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: trade George Kirby. That's what I'm doing.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: It just depends on you talking about the price, you know,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: how much he values staying in Seattle, which I feel
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: like he should.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I think he would give a hometown discount to stay
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: with his buddies, stay with Cal. He said also in
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: those postgame comments that all I think about is being
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: here for 15 to 20 years. There are reports that
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: suggest that he wants to be closer to home I
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: think that's more family tugging at him more than his
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: own personal desires or wishes. I think he wants to
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: be a Mariner. I think he wants to play with
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Cal his entire career and his buddies his entire career.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: That's what I think Logan Gilbert wants, and I'd try
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: to make that happen for him.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's kind of the next piece to fall. Obviously,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Josh Naylor signing last year. or this past offseason. Cal Raleigh,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: the one before that. Julio Rodriguez is obviously locked up.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: You got Colt Emerson for years to come. I think
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Logan Gilbert's the next one.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Q is for quarry. That's where rocks are kept. Yeah. Quarry. Yeah.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: And so we're playing the Colorado Rockies. So we are
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: playing in the stadium that is famously the most explosive
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: offensive environment in the entire sport. Yeah. On the flip side,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: we play in the stadium that has now become infamous
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: for subduing offense. Right. And if you remember, Mike Petriello
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: a year ago wrote his article saying that offense is
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: more suppressed in T-Mobile than it is accentuated at Coors Field.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Which is shocking when you think about it. And yet,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: that's what the stats say. are suggesting. It has nothing
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: to do with the Marine layer. So what does it
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: have to do with? Does it have to do with,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: we have really good pitchers and every team and who
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: really like pitching in Seattle and every team that comes
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: into town has to face those guys and that floods
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the numbers. And then on top of it, we have a,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: we have a Weak offense over the course of the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: last 10 years, and it doesn't fare very well at
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: home or on the road. Are those the factors? Or
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: is there something wrong with our ballpark? And it's not
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the Marine layer because we hit home runs in our ballpark.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Why do we not hit? Why can't people hit at T-Mobile?
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think they know. And there's been people that
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: have messed around with suggesting that it's the backdrop. I
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: have heard from sources on high they have evaluated that
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: and that there's no truth to it. They've consulted people
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: about that just to make sure that they didn't have
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: a backdrop that was deceiving hitters. But Teoscar Hernandez became
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: famous for it. So there's got to be something to it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: There's got to be something to it's not a comfortable
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: place to hit beyond the pitchers that you have to
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: face when you come here. And yet, would you change
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: it if you found out that there was, because I
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: would think you'd be able to use that to your
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: advantage and being able to play there 81 games per year. Like,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: should we take more batting practice, live batting, not batting practice,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: where you're just trying to hit home runs, you know,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: or spraying the ball or work on things. I'm talking about,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: should we take Like, should we spend part of spring
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: training there?
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Coming back home.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Watching live pitching to practice more than anyone else gets
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: to practice at hitting there? I mean, if we do
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: have this quirkiness about us, about our stadium... Why are
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: we not doing a better job of taking advantage of it?
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: And the same thing that Rocky fans are asking about
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: their own ballpark. And they can't figure out how to
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: do it. Do we go get pitching? Do we grow
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the grass high? Do we get fast outfielders? Do we
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: just get bombers? Because that's usually when we're successful is
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: when we just outslug everybody when they come here. You
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: have to use your part to your advantage, and it
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel like we're doing that. Not this year. We
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: have in past years. Yeah, we have. But we're not
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: doing it this year.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think the idea is that, okay, we
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: just lean into our pitching and try and win every
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: game 2-1 and kind of rely on, you know— Having
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: them be elite, and I think the last couple of
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: years they've, for whatever reason, mostly been on the road.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: But there have been some home starts where the pitching
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: hasn't been as elite as we have expected it to be.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: But the misconception about T-Mobile Park is that, oh, it's
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: hard to hit home runs in there. That's not the case.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: That's about the only outcome of single, double, triple home
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: run strikeouts. That's about the only one that's at least
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: somewhat close to average for the hitter side of things.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Everything else is suppressed besides the home runs.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: That is just so bizarre.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: It's so weird.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Why would you not be able to hit doubles and
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: triples in your own ballpark?
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Well, because the outfield's smaller. There's less room. It's easier
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: to cover ground as an outfielder. One of the reasons
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Coors is such a hitter's friendly ballpark is that outfield
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: is ginormous. Everyone thinks, oh, it's because I can hit
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of home runs there and the air is thin,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: which is true. But they tried to combat that by
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: moving the fences back and out a little bit. And
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: now you can hit doubles and triples and you can
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: still hit home runs because the air is thin. That's
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: why it's such a hitter's friendly ballpark. But with T-Mobile,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: it's just a lot smaller.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Is it a lot smaller?
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: It's pretty, like, if you look at the dimensions, comparatively
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: to others, it's pretty small. Not like Fenway small, obviously,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: because then that makes it hitter's friendly. But they don't
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: have trouble hitting doubles and triples. Now they have the
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: short wall in Boston.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Right, exactly. The left field wall, the monster, helps that. But,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I mean... I don't see... I mean, Cincinnati, do they
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: have trouble hitting doubles and triples in Cincinnati? That's the
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: smallest ballpark. Do they have trouble hitting doubles and triples
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: in Wrigley? I don't know if it's... That's a smaller
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: ballpark than ours.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I think... I honestly don't know.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know either. I'm just speculating.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: But I know that dimensions-wise... I don't.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Think of T-Mobile as a small ballpark.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: They've... I think, comparatively, it has been the dimensions of
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: the outfield.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Well, that's something to keep in mind. Yeah.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Well, you're right. I mean, we don't have trouble hitting
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: home runs. It just doesn't make any sense that we
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: would have trouble doubles. Trouble doubles. Trouble doubles. That doesn't
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: seem like it even equates, computes.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Uh, all right. One last thing to close out the week.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Next sports radio, 93.3 KJR FM. Final segment of the show.
• 30:21

• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Booze.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no booze news. It's probably, might be a good idea.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Might be a good idea, not just to throw back
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: a cup of whiskey on a Friday. Before 10 a.m.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Friday at 9.50.
• 30:47

• 31:17
  Speaker 1: last thing for the week, Anders?
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I just want to mention how freeing it was yesterday
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: when I got home after, you know, a decent early
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: shift in the morning show. And, you know, I get
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: to hang out with my son and my wife. And,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: you know, normally during my routine, it's like, okay, I
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: figure out what games are on that day. I'm kind
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: of playing my nap around that. Not having to plan
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: around a Mariner game. It was so freeing not having
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: to watch Mariner game yesterday. Um, and not just because like,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: you know, I hate watching Mariners games. No, it's just
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: like at this point in the season, it's, it's an
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: absolute drag for me.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: It is a chore.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? And like, I'm obviously going
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: to still.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Every second is spent like, God.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Why does this main team not play better? Exactly.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: And, and the worst is when they highlight other teams
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: that are like getting ready for the playoffs and like what, what,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: how they're going to set up their rotation and like,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: what seating they're going for. And I'm like, that should
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: have been us, you know? So I just wanted to
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: highlight that yesterday, not having a Mariner game to think about,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: not thinking about that baseball team for a full 24
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: hour period. It was fantastic. Just thinking about football and
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: my fact fiction pick being fiction.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I do have this annual, like when the
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: baseball season's over, like what do we do now?
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I have this annual separation anxiety because baseball is just
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: so constant in our lives. For six months, it's nearly
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: every night. It's six nights a week. And I do
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: have this week and a half, two and a half
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: week withdrawal. I don't know what... Usually I turn on
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: the ball game now, and it's going to happen again
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: this year, and it's going to happen for Mariners baseball
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: sooner than we wanted. All right, what's your one last thing, Travis?
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm torn because I have one last thing, and
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: I have a really funny talkback.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. So do I have to choose? Yeah, kind of.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: It's one last thing, not two.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I can't let Greg Bell go on the air at
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: 12 after. It's a 12-second talkback. All right, let's hear it.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Anders, Anders.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, we're the same person.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: In the summertime, I like to go in the pool.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: And in the wintertime, I like to go to the.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Mountains, man.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right. All right. We're the same person.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: It's a little bit of a jump from saying that you....
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Wasn't a shining moment for you.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Whatever.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: It's the first of many not shining moments here for
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: me on the show.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Basically, what Anders said earlier was, I said something about
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I was watching the Bills, and for some reason, psychologically,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I wanted wings because it was in Buffalo. So that's
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: what they're known for is chicken wings. And the next
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: thing you know, I've ordered chicken wings. And Anders then
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: made the point, I do the same thing. In the summer,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: I'll drink cool drinks. When it's warm outside. And in
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: the winter, I'll have a different beverage that is more
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: warming because it's colder outside. Yeah. He apparently thought he
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: was the only person that does that. No.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: I said I was with you on that. I said
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: that's a similar way of thinking. It's a psychological thing.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I think our talkback guy disagrees that they are similar.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Whatever. Moving on.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: What's your one last thing? Okay. I'll make it quick.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: I have a bone to pick with the kids on
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: my son's soccer team, we missed the first practice. And
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: in that time, so last season they were the Ninja Dragons.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: Two things that every seven and eight year old.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: You know, boy just loves.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: And so they picked that team name for themselves.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: We all loved it. We, you know, cheered, go Ninja Dragons.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: It's great.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: They decided to change their team name to Jimothy and
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: the Trash Pandas.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Oh no.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: And I'm thinking like that trend is, in the rear
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: view mirror that has been played out yeah ninja dragons
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: that's who we are that's a fantastic name.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Jimothy and the trash pandas sounds like a really bad
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: cover band though yes you know playing in ballard somewhere
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: yeah and.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: So we exactly that's the team name now what my
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: son had no input in it that is that's what
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: you're going they chose it apparently.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Jimothy how are you going to fit that on the
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: front of.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: The jersey they wear generic oh do they yeah.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Okay I mean, just go with Trash Pandas. Trash Pandas. Yeah,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: that's what we cheer. Go Trash Pandas.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: But they had to get the name.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Jimothy in there. Or just go with Pandas. I like Pandas.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Pandas is a great name. Just go Pandas.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: Not a very threatening animal, though, you know.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, no. You better go watch your nature shows. Pandas
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: will rip your face off. I don't believe you. No,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: they will.

  Speaker 2: Pandas.
