• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Everything we talked about last week, we'd be saying the
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: same thing if it were any other situation. Right, if

  Speaker 1: like a whole bunch of players that playing the World Cup,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: except and the player that was I don't want to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're nearly the same in terms of
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: how they handle themselves. But Hillary Knight, captain of Team USA.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Megan Rapino, the captain of you guess what, she tapped out. She'd,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: by the way, did not have an MCL. She just
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: didn't want to go. She was tired. Although eight or
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: nine other Olympians played well, so that I just I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: just think that's yeah, I think we got it. That's
• 3:28

  Speaker 1: It's a process, man, it is now. I switched providers.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: That's why it's processed. Yes, and I had to switch providers.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It was I've been you know, I had a company
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: phone for a long time. Some of us here have,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and I mean basically nineteen years I've had a company phone,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and I want to change providers because that said company
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: is greasy. I found out on our private lines or
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a private thing, they've been charging us for a couple
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: lines that don't even exist. How much fun is that?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, well, I'm going with you. So I'm
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and I will not mention who it is because I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: think they are an advertiser, but they but I I will,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I will say. So I want to change. So I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: went to Comcast Infinity. I like those guys. I have
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: still off cable. I'm old. I like to change channels.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: But they got you know, decent deal and its actually
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that actually you know, with a bundle and stuff like.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: That's good yo. And oh my gosh. It took forever
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: just to get the port number from the company and
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: then routing number and all this other stuff. Finally got it,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: went in there Saturday, got it all done. Had a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: game that day, but I had to because our phones
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: like go away like tomorrow or something right like I'm
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: running out of time. And then nothing transferred over originally,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: none of my apps. Nothing. I will say it was
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit liberating. On Saturday. I did the hockey
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: game Saturday, we did the broadcast. A great night. Actually,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna change something to by the way, Okay,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna change something now that I'm thinking about. God,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just all over the place day I'm sorry. I'm
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: doing the game tonight. I'm a little scattered. Saturday was
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Black Hockey History Night. Yeah, incredibly powerful message from J. T.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Brown at the end of our segment with him, I'm
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: gonna get that. We'll get that for don't worry about paneers.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: We'll hear from Mattie another time. Sorry, matt Maddie, Mikey.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it was a great interview today, but on
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Saturday it was somewhat liberating. Like my phone was I
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: was able to get a call or get a text
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: message and that was it. Oh, it was like the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: old days of the flip phone, really And for a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: minute I was like, oh, I need to be on
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Twitter and check out what's going on. I need to
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: be on Instagram and send something out and promote this
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and do all these things. And then I was like, wow,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: this actually this is actually kind of nice, Like this
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: is almost like this is like the BlackBerry days or
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the flip phone days, Like I'm just sitting there. If
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you need a text me, you can sort of didn't
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: really work until yesterday, but some text work and I
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: can make a phone call and then the guy and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: so then I take it back to Infinity yesterday and
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: because they the kid that helped me out on Saturday
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: didn't do what he needed to do to transfer the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: apps over, and I'm kind of stressed out going I'm
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: gonna have to download everything again because if you look
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: at your phone if you're driving around not now, but
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: if you're driving like look at your phone, how many
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: apps do you have? And think and think about what
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: it would take to get all those back and download
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: them individually? Be a nightmare? Right, So anyway, I didn't
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: have any of those little stressed about that, but at
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the same time, I didn't drop it off yesterday and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: he goes another guy in there at Exfinity, and Covington
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: shot out to those guys, do a great job they
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, it's going to take about an hour.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: He should have done this, but sorry, you know that's fine.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Take about an hour. Are you okay without having your
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: phone for an hour? And I went, yeah, sure, why not?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I need to get this done. I was gone for
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: two hours, came back two hours later. It might have
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: been the easiest two hours of my life. I know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: right at one point ago I should call Oh, I
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: can't call my wife. I should do that oh I
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: can't And it was actually really nice.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: And built an excuse not to deal with that.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: She did. When I get home, shech goes, I'm been
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: trying to call you. I'm like, I know, don't have
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a phone. It's getting fixed.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Inducing process for me when I didn't When you don't
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: have a phone, there is now I'm saying when I have.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: When I my anxiety was do I am I not
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: going to be able to? Am I gonna have to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: go and download every single app again? Oh that would
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: be anxiety. Well because it didn't work Saturday, but it
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: was their air or not mine.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: It was like, yeah, yeah, I almost like that because
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: I need to kind of do a little clean up.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I need a cleanse. Cleanse. You need to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: drink some green liquid and get a cleanse. In so
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: many apps I don't use anymore, I don't go through
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't go through it. And I said
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: there's a few I can get. Get sure you know
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: what I got rid of?

  Speaker 1: I did not like, yeah, like are you sick? Yeah?
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Well I started during COVID.

• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Every everywhere you can in the parking.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: In the parking lot before you entered, and then you
• 8:58

  Speaker 1: I think we might do a molliwap. I'm not sure,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: but I'm thinking we may do that. And she's like,

  Speaker 1: she's like, yeah, people like, I kid you not when

  Speaker 1: I have people texting in on a Friday when I'm
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: just trying to get the hell out of the show,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: like I just get me out of here. It's the weekend.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: You know, I got stuff going on, and I've literally
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: got text coming into the Tacoma Dodge text line four
• 10:54

• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, yes, they are here. They are, Nathan Bistion,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Chris Crawford, here you are. I Actually, We're gonna spend
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: some time on this stick because I'm fascinated by it,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: because I think it's just in some ways, kind of
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: like four Nations was for hockey, the most random thing
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: in the world. All what's been going on for a
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: while the World Baseball Classic. But we're gonna get into
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that a little bit in just a second. Is it
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter? Should we be playing it now? Blah blah blah,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: all those things. I didn't do this last week, so
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I gotta feel bad. We always do opening statements. Does
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: anybody have an opening statement? Nathan? Do you have an
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: opening statement today? Sure?
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: I just think that it's really nice that the Seattle
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: Mariners are going to be back in a couple of weeks.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: I played golf yesterday and my back hurts, and I
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: think your opening statement about the just ceaseless demand for
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: this show is yet another sign of the erosion over
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: a once great nation. But that's fine. I'm happy to
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: be here. It's wonderful. I will say that if there's
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: one thing that's an opening statement for the Seattle Mariners
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: right now, Yeah, I know that some people like some
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: people are Mariner fans and other people are more broad
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: baseball fans. If you're one of the former and just
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: kind of a Mariner's fan, just be so grateful that
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: so far, no Mariner has showed up to camp or
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: developed a serious injury to this point, I'm knocking on
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: wood right now, but there are so many injuries throughout
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: the sport right now for teams. And just the fact
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: that the Mariners are out there running around and all
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: of the familiar faces are doing their thing.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: It's great stuff.
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: It's just a great time of year to get excited.
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: Chris Stanning, The only thing I'll say is that everything
• 12:29
  Speaker 9: I said last week about demands a spectation powerful stuff.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: By that good stuff. Hey, thank you.
• 12:35
  Speaker 9: The only negative feedback I got are people who work
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: from KJR, and one of them can't say Toronto. So
• 12:41
  Speaker 9: I'm not too worried about that one. If you're listening there,
• 12:43
  Speaker 9: mister Felts of Jackson. But I I That's all I
• 12:48
  Speaker 9: have is Other than that, the only thing I want
• 12:50
  Speaker 9: to say is thanks for liking us more than the
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: NFL combine.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I guess Felts of Jackson is that it how does
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: he say Toronto?
• 13:00
  Speaker 9: That's you say it wrong too. It's Toronto, isn't it Ian?
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Toronto? Toronto like Calgary? Yeah, it depends depends on where
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you're from. Yeah, Listen, they got their own issues up
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: there right now. I mean there they can't wait for
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: blue Jay season to start because the may Police are
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: an absolute train wreck. So it's there. They're praying for
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the baseball season to start, and they're also saying when
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: do the Argonaut Argonauts start as well in the CFL.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: So all right, before we get to the World Baseball Classic,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Chris Lein on you a little bit, Nathan jump in
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: if you want. Afterwards, I think the and Nathan talked
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: about the hell so far, I mean, the one little
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: we get a little God, whatever happened? What is this
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: oblique thing? Like I love mentioning that stuff to Holmgren
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: because he loses his mind, Like Homeran's like, I have
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: no idea what that is. I you know, he's been
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: coaching for a thousand years, he goes, I never heard
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: oblique until like five years ago. Bryce Miller's got an oblique.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: It sounds like it's nothing major, you know, like like
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Nathan said, though, it's it is a scary time of
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the year, Chris, like when you have things you see
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: guys around the league, right and UCL here, rotator there,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: all those things oblique and all that seems relatively minor,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: except for the fact that, of course he did miss
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: time last year with other stuff, did come back sensational
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But that brings me to this who
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and what is a Kate Anderson? He'sus really good, like
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: really really good.
• 14:24
  Speaker 9: And you know we talked about this when they made
• 14:26
  Speaker 9: the draft pick that well we didn't actually because you
• 14:29
  Speaker 9: were on vacation, you bum That's right.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I was wondering, like to see, let me stop right there,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: let me just stop right there. When we come on
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: this show, it is often insinuated that I'm on vacation
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: a lot, and I usually hear it from one and
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: not the other on this particular show, although I do
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: get jabs from others at the station. I can tell
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you honestly, I leave vacation days on the table every
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: year I have to go back to the company and
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: grovel to use us. I think it just happens to
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: be a coincident. I miss things every now and then.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: That's all, sure, Okay.
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: Okay, Well I would say more than that that you
• 15:05
  Speaker 9: negotiated a really good contract.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: More well, I need, I need more than I get.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I don't get as much as some people. Yes, absolutely,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I very much jest my friend.
• 15:13
  Speaker 9: But when I talked to Justin Hollander after the draft
• 15:17
  Speaker 9: and we talked about a few other things, but like
• 15:20
  Speaker 9: they were clearly thrilled that they got him with the
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: third pick, and thank you Angels for screwing the pooch
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: and taking the wrong player at number two, because Tyder
• 15:29
  Speaker 9: Bremner is nowhere near the prospect that Katie Anderson is.
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: This is a guy who struck out one hundred and
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: eighty batters and one hundred and nineteen innings in the SEC,
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: which is basically the equivalent of double a baseball. SEC
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: baseball is really really good. I know people hate saying, oh,
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: the SEC that get overrated, No, they freaking don't, and
• 15:47
  Speaker 9: they're really really good at it.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: They take baseball, they take it very serious. Go to
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a baseball game in the SEC.
• 15:53
  Speaker 9: Sometime, guys, it's go to Vanderbilt, go watch a Vanderbilt
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: baseball game, or go watch a game at Ole Miss.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Probably get the uber ready.
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: Because you're not gonna be able to drive, but go
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: go to an Olti Miths baseball game and have a
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: heck of a time. But Ken Anderson is a pitcher
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: with four plus pitches. He's probably gonna be a pitcher
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: with three plus pitches with Seattle because they're gonna want
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: to limit that arsenal. He has excellent feel for missing bats,
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: he has excellent command already.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I mean he's ready to go.
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: He is like Paul Skeins, like Chase Burns, like a
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: bunch of guys who have been drafted that high, they
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: are ready to roll.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Now. He's not as good as Paul Skeins.
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: He's not a guy who is going to compete for
• 16:33
  Speaker 9: the Cy Young in his second year. He's not going
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: to be a guy who dates Libby Dunn. But he's
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: going to be really, really good. And that's gonna be
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: really interesting to see because I think he's already better
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: than Bryce Miller, and that's not an insult to Bryce Miller.
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: It's a huge compliment to how good Kate Anderson is.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: He's special.
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: He has a chance to be as good as any
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: starting pitcher they've had since Felix Hernandez. And that's saying
• 16:57
  Speaker 9: something because they have some really good ones. Right, Wow, Nathan,
• 16:59
  Speaker 9: that makes me excited. Actually, I'm very I'm very excited
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: about this situation.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: That is effusive as all get out. Yeah, that's really
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: really exciting. I was going to ask critics, I think
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: his final point actually probably already answered it. But are
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: we talking about Bryce Miller last year? Are we talking
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: about the best of Bryce Miller in twenty twenty four
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: that you say he's better than Yes, we're talking.
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: About like that, that version that we saw of Bryce
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: Miller after the All Star Break. I don't think we're
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: ever seeing that version again, just because I don't think
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: I don't think he has that kind of stuff, and
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: I think that there was a little bit of smoke
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: and mirrors to those results, but the results were the results, right,
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: He was as good as any pitcher for the Mariners
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: in the end of twenty twenty four. I just think
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: right now that Kid Anderson has a much higher ceiling
• 17:43
  Speaker 9: than Bryce Miller. I think they have comparable floors. And
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: again that is much more compliment to Anderson than insults Miller.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, absolutely, yeah, And I think that's a that's
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: a great valid point that you look at though. I'm
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: just exciting because you know, like we all get excited
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: about prospects. Now, we talked, I mean we talked last week,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you know, young Emerson, all that fun stuff. But this
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: is a guy that sounds like Chris could be here
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: sooner than later. What's your expectation for where he'll be
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: I think he'll make starts for the Mariners in twenty
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: twenty six. And if he doesn't make starts, I think
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: he might be if you want to be the guy
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: who limits the innings, And that's understandable for a guy
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: who is, you know, such a young pitcher, such a young,
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: inexperienced pitcher professionally still hasn't thrown a single minor league pitch.
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: Maybe he's a multi inning relief guy. Maybe he's the
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: guy you bring in as a swing guy in the
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: later innings or even in the middle innings, somebody who
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: could be really valuable for a postseason push. But his
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: stuff's too good. The stuff's too good and the command
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: is too good for me to say that he's not
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: going to pitch for Seattle in twenty twenty six. If
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: it doesn't, it means that they got the twenty twenty
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: three to twenty twenty four version of the rotation right,
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: where all five guys just pitch so well, there's just
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: no room and the bullpend does a good enough job
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: that you just kind of shut the guy down and
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: get I'm ready for twenty twenty seven. But my expectation
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: is that Kid Anderson will pitch for the Seattle Mariners
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: in twenty twenty six, and I will be kind of
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: surprised if it's not in the starting.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Role and Hancock's still number seven or number six.
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Hancock would be the next guy out if there
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: was an injury or anything like that. But Kit Anderson
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: blows Emerson can'tcock out of the water.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I love this all right. It is a mallywat Monday
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: brough to my friends at Simply Seattle Simply Sattle dot
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: com molliwop fifteen at check out for all of your gear,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: including the old school Chuck Knox hat that Nathan Bishop
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: has on right now. I love that. That's my favorite hat,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: the Kingdom sweatshirt, which is also my favorite that Crawford's wearing.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: That's that. I think that's one of their best sellers period,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Like I think the the old school Kingdom's sweatshirt. It's awesome,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: fantastic stuff. Plus it's got the old school blue and
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: gold from the Mariners back in the day. Let's just
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: go back to that, please and be good. All right.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Let's World Baseball Classic starts later on this week. There's
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: some exhibition games with some of the national teams playing
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the teams in Florida. Looks like, I think for the
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: most art and and then the game, this series itself
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: gets going later on. I looked at this, guys, and
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: there's there's four pools, twenty total teams in it. There's
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: teams in there that I'm looking at, thinking, man, it'd
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: be fun to watch, you know, the US taking on
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: the Dominican Republic or you know, Puerto Rico and the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: d D, the d R, whatever might be Venezuela and
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: other teams. Then I'm looking through, going Israel's got a team,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Checky has got a team. Uh, there's Panama, Fine, Korea
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: probably okay, Great Britain, okay, et cetera. It so I
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: look at this thing and go it feels a lot
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: like what we see Chris can relate to this, maybe
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: probably more like World Junior Championships every year in hockey,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the Under twenty champs. Like there's the haves and the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: have nots. We'll get into all that in just a second.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: But Nathan, you, as a baseball guy, are you excited
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: for the World Baseball Classic. Yeah. I I don't know
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: if that puts me into mind already or not.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: I thought that the last World Baseball Classic was really fun,
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: especially by the end. I do think it's we kind
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: of hinted it this last week when we were talking
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: about it. I think it's kind of caught both in
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: the wrong time of the year to be the best
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: version of baseball that it could be due to pitchers
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: not being ramped up, and I think it's not one
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: hundred percent sure what it actually wants to be. It
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: feels like a combination of wanting to be a high
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: level World Cup sort of prestige classic masquerading as a
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: marketing arm of MLB trying to grow the global brand,
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: which is why you have teams like you know, the
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: Czech and Israel and these other guys that can. They're
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: just pulling people who's like great grand mothers were half
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: you know, the from the nation that they're representing, so
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: it's not like a real thing. So I think it'd
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: be cool. I don't know what the answer is there
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: as far as winning down the field. Maybe have some
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: sort of preliminary tournament to get reduce the overall fields
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: so that the baseball by the time you get to
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: World Baseball Classic is the high level stuff that you're
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: talking about Ian where it's the best players on the
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: best teams representing the traditional baseball powers. But I definitely
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: think there's a case to be finding a better time
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: of year to do it. But I think it's an
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: awesome thing. I think you get these things, especially when
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: you find traditional baseball powers like the Asian countries that
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: where their national pride in the sport is huge, and
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: the players take it's such a privilege for them to
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: represent their country in this kind of a tournament. And
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: you saw that the last one, like we talked about
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: last week, the moment of Shoho Tani striking out Mike
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: Trout to end that tournament was an amazing baseball experience.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: And two of the greatest baseball players to live in
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: the last fifty years, including arguably the greatest one of
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: all time. It's an amazing theater when it hits, but
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: there's also plenty of misses in there too.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris, I kind of think what Nathan said is interesting,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and we did talk about it briefly last week, but
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: it was kind of overshadowed by Chris pounding his fist
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: on the table and demanding the World Series, which to
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: get a lot of attention and on social media and otherwise.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: But the I think that's kind of my thought, Chris
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: is I don't know what you think. I'm We'll get
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: to maybe how to do it differently in a second,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: but to get me through these preliminary rounds, right, get
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: me through these group stage, I guess we'll call it right,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: get me through the group stage. And I think once
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: we get past that, because what Nathan said is probably
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: gonna be true, there are some countries that this is
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: probably a bigger deal than maybe you just even for
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: guys in the States. Oh, there's no question.
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: The most fun I've ever had at a baseball game,
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: and I've had some fun at some baseball games, is
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: me going to watch the Dominican Republic play Puerto Rico
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: and San Diego in twenty seventeen. It's the most fun
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: I've had at a baseball game, and it's not even close.
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: The passion those guys have for the sport, it just
• 23:47
  Speaker 9: can't be beaten. And here's what I'll say, like, yeah,
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: it's frustrating to see the United States play Italy and
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: Great Britain and you know some teams that are not
• 23:57
  Speaker 9: anywhere close to those talents. The same for Japan playing
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: those teams, the same for Puerto Rico and even Korea
• 24:05
  Speaker 9: playing those teams. But it's kind of taking a step
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: back to hopefully take steps forward because the goal is here, Yeah,
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: this grows the sport in those countries, Like we'll start
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: to see instead of guys who are like man just
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: hanging on by a thread who happened to have a
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: last name that rhymes with boyar d playing for Italy.
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: Like the hope is is that you get somebody who
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: is from those countries that becomes great and that grows
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: the sport so much in those places. Because baseball is
• 24:35
  Speaker 9: a sport that is perfectly set up to be an
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: international game and it is an international game, but we
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: need to grow it in places. We need to grow
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: it in Europe, we need to grow it in some
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: Eurasia countries. We need it to be better in those areas,
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: and if it's better in those areas, it grows the sports.
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: So yeah, it's frustrating to see fourteen to three games,
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: which we will see with Japan is just such a wagon,
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: and so is the United States and the Dominic in Republic.
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: You'll see some absolute blowouts in these games, but maybe
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: it's taken a step back to take step forwards to
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: see it grow in those countries that are unfortunately getting
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: their butts kicked early off.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think what what you know, Nathan, you brought
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: it up. I think the key is is that I
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: love the premise. I'd almost I think my my just
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: a as a as a baseball fan down on the
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: same level as you guys. What I'd love to see
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: is this but whittled down and give me a four
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: nations like we saw in hockey last year. Chris, I
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: don't know who those US, Japan, US, Japan.
• 25:37
  Speaker 9: Well, and then that's gonna be tough too, because the
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: Nipon League is playing at the same time, and you
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: want to make sure that those guys are able to
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: do so it makes it tough, but ideally you would
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: have United States, Japan, Dominican Republic, and Venezuela.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: That'd probably be the.
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: Fourth team that I would put in there as well.
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: But you can make some arguments for Korea, you could
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: argue Mexico, you could even argue Canada. If you just
• 25:58
  Speaker 9: want to do Nor American teams, one Latin American team
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: and one international. My suggestion for that would be every
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: four years, play the World Baseball Classic. It's three now,
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: but make it four well in the middle those two
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: years to the four nation thing, and that I think, yeah,
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: exactly right. Yeah, just like in those two year interments
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: that you're not playing the World Baseball Classic, play that
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: four Nations and that'll beat the crap out of any
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: All Star game that we're going to get, like we
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: saw with even like the USA versus the World NBA.
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: Like I said, I didn't watch a minute of it,
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: but I had a lot of NBA fans tell me
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: it was so much better of a format. So that
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: would be my suggestion for that for the four Nations,
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: that would be much more intriguing to me too, just
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: because of the fact that, like Nathan mentioned, is this
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: not when you're getting players at their best nowhere close
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: to it. Nobody is ready to roll. On March second,
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: guys will be ready to roll. July thirteenth, guys will
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: be much more at their best, and we want to
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: see the very best players that playing at their very best.
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: So I'd be really intrigued in doing a four Nations
• 27:03
  Speaker 9: type thing.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Nathan, would you like to see that, like instead
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: of an All Star game every few years? Yeah?
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: I love that idea of the alternate between a four
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: nation style thing and then a World Baseball Classic. I
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: want to make sure Chris, I think he owes Alex
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: Liddi an apology for the slander of Italy. I'm sure
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: that that's forthcoming, but that's fine.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that'll be the lasting impression of this.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Your name lines and rhymes with boy ar d.
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: It could have been worse. I was gonna make like
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: bippity boppity noises. So I think I just I'm I
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: deserve credit for just going with the mildly offensive.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Is as good as we're going to get here, be
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: perfectly honest.
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: I know, I think the format is great, and I
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: think to your point in as a viewer, especially like
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: if Baseball's trying to grow this globally, but they also
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: want to capture the standard viewer, not the baseball sicco
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: Like Chris and I are going to watch this no
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: matter what.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: It is important to.
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: Get these guys at their very best, and you don't
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: want to have drop in stuff where it feels like,
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: you know, Drake Schouble is going to pop in for
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: a single game to throw. I think I saw another
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: pitcher is only making a couple starts for the US,
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: and that's not really a shot at those guys.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I get it, dree.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: Skouble has hundreds of millions of dollars on the line
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: this year, going into his free agent year and getting hurt.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: Pitching basically for free for the WBC doesn't make any
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: sense for him. But how can we leverage this where
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: there's enough buying for the players at the peak of
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: their ability so that it's the best viewing product for everybody.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting as I think about that, guys too,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking the one thing I just don't care about
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: right now is spring training games. Like I just it's
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: like it's just you know, it's like, hey, you know
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: they're here, and I'm like, okay, let me know when
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: they get back here here being Seattle. But this is different.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: This is this This will get me to watch baseball
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: during the month of March madness and other things right,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: hockey playoffs and all those things coming up that will
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: get me to watch it because and I think, like
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I said, once we get past you know, once we
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: get through the minutia of the blowout games or what
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: does the group round basically, and then we get to
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the other ones, and like you said, Chris, and it'd
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see. Like last time you mentioned it,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, we all I I the image of Otani
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: versus Trout was unreal. I mean it was. It was fantastic.
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: So uh, by the way, just real quick on this too.
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: How dare Major League Baseball charge the same prices for
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: spring training games right now with these players not being available,
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: Like imagine going to spring training. There's no kal Raally,
• 29:22
  Speaker 9: there's no Julio Rodriguez, there's no Josh Nayler, there's no
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: Randia Rose Arena, there's no games fire all of those guys,
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: and you're still charging thirty dollars for people to sit
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: in the freaking grass. How dare you charge those prices
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: during that stuff? Like just shut down spring training, play
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: games on the side or whatever. It is ridiculous that
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: people have to pay the same amount of money while
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: this stuff.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Is going on. I didn't realize they were doing that.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: That's I didn't realize it was expensive these days ago
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: to spring training?
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: Is it?
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: Is it? Yeah, it's gotten so expensive. I don't have
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: to imagine. And I'm doing it next week. It's gonna
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: be great. I'm going to see all that all of
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: my favorite all of my favorite Mavericks, all of my
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: favorite hya and single a organization general fillers are going
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: to get out there and get some run.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: It's going to be great. Yeah, it is probably not
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: a shock that that's the And I'm sure it's not
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: just our team, right, it's everybody. Yeah, Yeah, it's Cactus
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: League as a whole and what have you. So, Yeah,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I mean it's well, it's it's become such a big deal.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I mean we looked at Flying Down during a couple
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago and it's like, oh, I mean everyone's
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: going there now. And that's not just because of the Mariners,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: like everyone's going down there. So flights are expensive, hotels
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: are expensive. That's that's where we live in all right.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Final thoughts anything.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: Nate, No, not really. I think that I'm just excited
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: to be back on the air. It's just really good
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: to be back doing the show again and continued health
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: to our Seattle Mariners and Bryce miller Man. I'm just
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: I'm really I just want to clarify one more thing
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: with Chris for my final thought, Chris, are you saying
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: that Kate Anderson has a higher ceiling than any current
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: Seattle Mariners starting Pitcher. I just want to make sure ceiling.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: I give that for the.
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: Record, higher ceiling in the long term than any Seattle
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: Mariner starting I think Lookan Gilbert might give him a
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: little bit of a run for a money, not a
• 31:04
  Speaker 9: higher ceiling for twenty twenty six, but in the long term,
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: I think Kate Anderson has the highest ceiling of any Mariner.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Picture right now, I'm not trying to nail ya. I
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: was just I heard that clear, because that gets me
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: really hyped up.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's a great question, Chris. Final thought
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: twenty four days away, by the way, from our annual
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Opening day show, which is just I don't know, that's
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the one that I always love, just because we it's
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: we've talked about this for years. Yeah, Baseball Star. Yeah,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: but we're twenty four days away.
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and you can be the biggest curmudgeon in the world.
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: An Opening day is the very best. And unfortunately the
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: curmudgeoness comes out a little bit during the spring training
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: games that mean nothing, and people, you know, fantasy experts,
• 31:43
  Speaker 9: all of a sudden become the biggest people that people
• 31:45
  Speaker 9: see because somebody goes oh for three against a guy
• 31:48
  Speaker 9: who's going to be playing in low a modesto and
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: it's just really really annoying. There's a lot of discourse
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: about the short stop position over the last couple of weeks.
• 31:59
  Speaker 9: People haven't really strong opinions about JP Crawford and Colt Emerson, and.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Be honest with you, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 32:09
  Speaker 9: I will just say this, Let's amplify the right voices.
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: Let's make sure that the right people are being amplified,
• 32:17
  Speaker 9: because there's just a lot of people that don't know
• 32:19
  Speaker 9: what the hell they're talking about. And the idea that
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: JP Crawford is locked in at shortstop is just as
• 32:26
  Speaker 9: nonsense as the idea that JP Crawford should be traded
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: for shredded wheat like there are both sides to that argument.
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: I'm just asking people to amplify the right voices and
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: do a little bit of research because I I just
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: about lost my gosh damn mind last week.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I amplify the right voices. They're these two guys. It's
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: these two guys. You were so good and then you
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: mentioned both of our voices. Uh. That is Chris Crawford,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: that is Nathan Bishop. They are the Mully Whoppers. Brought

• 34:30
  Speaker 1: rolling to town with their thirty eight to fifteen and
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: six record eighty two points. There's only only one team
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: in the league right now that has a better mark
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: than that. That would be the Colorado Avalanche, and they're
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: kind of gaining on Colorado. They're gaining big time on
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Colorado right now. Unbeaten in their last twelve games, the
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Carolina Hurricanes ten zero to two in that period of time.

  Speaker 1: They are as they would say in the business ol Wagon. Yeah,

  Speaker 1: they are eer O Wagon Seattle. Coming off a nice
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: win five to one on Saturday against the Canucks of
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Vancouver six point thirty pre game seven o'clock drop with
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the buck, I wanted to play this for you. Saturday
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: was a Black Hockey History Night, and we did. I
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: said we. My producer Scott Malone did a phenomenal job
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: putting together a bunch just some of the history of
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: black players in the sport that has been They've been
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: very up underrepresentatives we all know for a long time.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Although there were a couple on the ice on Saturday,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: which is kind of cool to see. But it's getting better.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: We have a long way to go for inclusion in
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: the sport of hockey, both for whatever the inclusion might be,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: whether it be sexual orientation, skin color, what have you.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: But JT. Brown works with us on the broadcast. I've
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: got such great respect for JT. We really got to
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: know them a lot better this year when I'm be
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: doing the TV play by play, he'll be with me
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: tonight along with Edzo in the booth. Can't wait. And
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: this was from Saturday night. JT. Brown was one of
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: those players that kicked down a color Barrier at one
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: point and played many years in the National Hockey League.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: This is from Saturday and our pregame show. Finally, JT,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: what would you say if someone's watching this at home tonight,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and whether it's a young person that wants to get
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: involved in the game that maybe doesn't think I fit
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: in I look the same, what would you tell them?
• 36:07
  Speaker 11: I tell them not to listen. I mean, I think
• 36:08
  Speaker 11: that's the key for me. I would say, you're welcome
• 36:12
  Speaker 11: in this game, and at any point if anybody tells
• 36:15
  Speaker 11: you that you're not, they're wrong flat out. Keep pushing
• 36:18
  Speaker 11: through and you're going to find people, you know within
• 36:20
  Speaker 11: this game that are going to support you and continue
• 36:22
  Speaker 11: to push. So for me, don't give up and continue
• 36:25
  Speaker 11: to find that love just the way that I did
• 36:27
  Speaker 11: within this part. It's an amazing spart it is by
• 36:30
  Speaker 11: far in my opinion. Yes I'm biased, but don't give up.
• 36:33
  Speaker 11: That'd be my key.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: JT's father, by the way, played in the National Football
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: League for the Minnesota Vikings, so it comes from a
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: great and he played a little bit of football, but
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: he was a hockey guy and carved himself out an
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: ice career in the National Hockey League on the ice
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: and doing even better work off the ice right now.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Really good, really, I mean has really come into his
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: own the last couple of years. And proud to have
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: him as a teammate on our showd all right, We'll
• 36:57

  Speaker 1: choose chill, cracking, munch beating to win on Saturday beat
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: the Canucks five to one. Jordan Eberley Chandler Stevenson each
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: had three points in the game. Next step tonight against
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: the Cranes of Hurricanes of Carolina, who are up right
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: now the second best team in terms of points in
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: the league and winning percentage. They are scary good ten
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: oh win two in their last twelve six thirty pre
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: game with Mike Betton seven o'clock face off right here
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: in nine three point three kjr FM. They did sign
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: defenceman gust Of Olafson to a one year contract before
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: placing him on waivers. I don't know what the hell
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: they're doing with that. What's going on. I don't know,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: not sure, I have no idea. It's where we're in
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: roster gymnastics time. According to CBS interview with Hillary Knights,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: she played through the entire Olympics of the torn MCL.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: That's what you call just an absolute beast like Mike
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: God bad ass wins the gold medal and now is
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: out for the rest of the season. We assume with
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: the torrent Lions trade David Montgomery to the Texans Chiefs
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: cutting right tackle Jawan Taylor, Commanders cutting Marshawn Lattimore, those
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: are all ahead of what's going to happen next week.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: More likely because of course, one week from today, legal
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: tampering begins in the NFL. Free agency starts on Wednesday,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the eleventh. WNBA has set a deadline. They need to
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: get everything done by March tenth to not have a
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: work stoppage and delay in the start of the season.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Kelsey Plum, former udebstar who's a vice president of the
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Players Association, said that the latest WNBA offers a win,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: but they still have some work to do in that regard.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Let's go.

  Speaker 1: I think we do Semis two on Fridays. That's how
• 39:47

  Speaker 1: Benton's all excited he gets to do it. Is O
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: day game again or something.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: But he's all really worried, as Mike Benton would be
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: because guess what else is Friday?
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I have no idea the NHL trade deadline.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Oh he's gonna be on a tilt.
• 40:00

• 40:22
  Speaker 2: You're feeling Monday.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Why should we did a game with Curtis High School
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: and a guy by the name of Isaiah Thomas. Oh wow,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: so I remember, I remember her and I doing an
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas game. I believe we did a tony rotin game. Nice.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: There's so much talent that comes out of this area.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and so we we did some games down there
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: when we're doing the night show, and then once I
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: started doing the middle of the day, we kept going.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: I kept going down there every year. I just think
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: it's one of the cool things we do on this
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: radio station. We you know, we have supported high school
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: sports since day one. The high school basketball tournament is
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: a blast. I think it's just such a cool atmosphere.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: I know people don't love the Tacoma Dome, and you know,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: there's been a push well maybe they should have it back.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: It's at Climate Pledge or having it the you know,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: at at Alaska Airlines or what have you. And I
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: understand that the Comodome is cool because it's always loud. Yeah,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: they split, they split the building in half. Girls are
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: on one side, boys are on the other. And if
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: you're just a hoops junkie, you've got basketball. You can
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: walk back and forth. All that girls game's fantastic. I
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: go check that out. Swing over there and watch that.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Oh the boys game really good. I'll switch over and
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: check that out. So they do a really good job
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: with that. There was a few years where I remember
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: who was coming out here. Zach Levine was coming out
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Vie rather sorry, Yeah, he was coming out of Awful. Yeah,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: and I remember we were doing that's the year that
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: it was out at heck Aad and we're doing shows
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: out there. But they had it split, you know, like
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: three a's at one place, like heck ed four a's
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: at yeah. So I like having three A and four
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: A at the same spot, boys and girls and girls.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll be down there on Thursday. Can't eight
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: tons of fun. If you're there, come by, come by
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: and say hi, watch some great hoops throughout the afternoon. Okay,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: that's uh. And then Friday trade deadline for the NHL.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: We brought this up, and Chris brought this up in
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Mollywop and I thought it was a really I was
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: actually blown away by this. And let me first point out,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: this is not this is not a Mariners thing. Apparently,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: this is a spring training thing. He's talking about full
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: price or thirty bucks a ticket to watch a spring training.
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: Game where all the guys that are in the WBC
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: are gone now.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: But but and even if they're not, yeah, they'll play
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: two innings, right and then they get their gear and
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: they leave Like that's what they do. That's obscene. I
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: was talking to a guy and I'm gonna preface this
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: by saying four nine four five one. We're gonna get
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: to this. We just stumbled across this, and then Chris
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: brought it up, and I'm glad he did. Like, what
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: are some of the ills that need to be fixed
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: for you as a fan. Andrews, you can get the
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: TV part in a second. Jess. You take a thing,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: you can take a thought of it as well. Let's
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: take a think. I was talking to buddy of mine yesterday.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: I went and hit some golf balls and had a
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: beer afterwards the Druids and talking to my buddy out
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: there who was doing the same. And he popped over
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: and said, hey, what's going on. We're talking and he
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: he actually had a great point. He says, you know,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: I there was an NBA game up and we flipped
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: it off that nobody wanted to watch. It was Portland
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: and Atlanta, and like, name five players for me to
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: those teams? You can't, uh not? After Tree Young got
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: traded Mohammed Gay I think is there in Atlanta for Wazoo.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: That's about it. And we were we were talking about
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: load management in games, and you know, he's about my age,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: and we were just discussing, you know, hey, when you know,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: not if, but when the NBA comes back. But how
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: he heard me say on the radio. He goes, I
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: heard you just kind of tuned out of the NBA.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, I just I don't I just
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: don't care right now. And that's a reason thing that
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: wasn't That wasn't something that I instantly after the Sonics
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: left un out. In fact, two years after the Sonics left,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: I started working for the Blazers doing there then. That's
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: how he kind of walked up and said he used
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: to do the Blazers right there on TV, and I
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: said yeah, And so I was really immersed in the
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: NBA for four years after that, going down doing the commute,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: doing the Blazer stuff, and I was still into it
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: and it was fine. And then as the years have
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: gone on and the Sonics are further and further removed
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: from us and feeling like it's at least three years
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: away before they come back, I started to lose a
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: little bit of interest, like I think we all have.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: And then, maybe more importantly, I just started watching more
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: of the games. Now, this is a great argument people
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: have about the quality of the game, and I'm going
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: to get to my peve in a second, but it's
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: a long way of getting there. But the game itself,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: you watch it, it's an isolation game. And Gary Parrish
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: has something this interesting last Friday. In college basketball, you
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: still better be if you're going to be a contending team,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: you better have a point guard, like a true ball
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: in his hand one, not two shooting guards, not a
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: point forward. Scottie Pippen was a great point forward his
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: last year in portant One. I loved watching him play
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: with the ball in his hand. It was awesome. But no,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: you need to And they had Damon on that team,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: but it was kind of they had two point guards.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: One was a point four to one's point guard. But
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: in college basketball you need to have a point guard
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: because the game still evolves that way. I'm a big
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: college basketball fan. I like watching college basketball. I like
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: the game better than the NBA. No, I'm not a dummy.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to say it's more skilled. The NBA
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: skill set is unbelievable, like these guys are. And I'm
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: not even talking about athleticism. I'm just talking the skill
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: set for an NBA player is unreal. You can't even
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: It doesn't compare to college basketball, but high level college bass.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I just like the game better. I like how the
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: game looks visually to me. But as we're talking about
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: this yesterday and we flipped off the game, we actually
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: put a hockey game on I had the bar tender
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: put a hockey game on and we were talking about
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: the NBA coming back, and it kind of goes back
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: to what Chris said ticket prices. Like I think, if
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: there's one pet peeve and it's I get it, I
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: work for a team, it's probably unavoidable. But I just
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: think that too many fans are priced out of games
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: these days. I think it's too hard to go to
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: a game. I think it's too expensive to go to
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: a game.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: Well, even if you have the tickets in hand, there's
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: so many other things that come in there. There's so
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: many variable right, how are we going to get there?
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: Where are we going to park? Well?
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: We give away Yeah, we give away tickets every Tuesday
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: for the pay and so that saves you a couple
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: hundred bucks.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Now I'm not one that just goes to a game,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: shows up and leaves. I usually you know, so that's
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: your choice, Like I, you could do that and you
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: and parking. I will say this around climate pledge, I
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: think people have figured it out. Everyone's kind of got there,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: everyone's got their place.
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: I haven't seen as much of an issue.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard much of an issue. I think people
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: have literally either done the monorail thing. Yep, if you
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: have the ability to take public transportation, and not everybody does,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: but if you do, that's okay. But I've I think
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: those that drive, like I have a lot of friends
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: that go to a lot of games or a lot
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: of events, concerts, what have you at Climate Pledge, I
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: think everyone has their their places they go and if really,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: if you think about it, if you're going to a
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: Mariner's game or a Seahawk game, I think the same
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: challenges exist on a larger scale because the buildings are bigger.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: No one's the average fans not parking in the T
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Mobile parking lot. That's for season ticket holders, suite holders,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: and media like that's who parks there. Loom And Field
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Events Center. If you want to park there, it's still
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: eighty bucks. But most of time you can't even get
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: in there. It's already full. It's already sold to what
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: I just said, season ticket holders, suite holders, et cetera, VIPs,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: media and everything else. So you got to find a
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: place there too. I think people figured it out parking,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: but if you go to a game, so that's not
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: the issue. I think it's what j just said it's like, okay,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. Okay, here's what the tickets cost, here's
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: what it costs to eat. Cracking did a good job
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: this year. They dropped some of the prices. Good for them,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: yeah they did, but still it didn't cast something to
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: eat and I'm gonna buy something. It's just it's expensive.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: It's an expensive endeavor.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: The events.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I wish there was a way Baseball does
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: a decent job. The manors do a decent job in
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: season of having like Tuesday night games like the you know,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: the the flex schedules spending thing is. I know people
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: kind of lost their mind when it first happened. It's okay,
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: it's because because yeah, you get some cheap games you
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: can go to as well. And honestly, we live in
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: a world I think you should have to pay for
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: better things. Yeah. I know that's not what we want
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: to hear in this city necessarily, but I think, you know,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: there is a world of capitalism, there is a world
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: of you know, you know, supply and demand. A man, Yeah,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: and I think you can pay for better things. If
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: the the Yankees on a Friday probably would be a
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: more expensive ticket than if you're watching you know, the
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Royals on a Tuesday.
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: Along those same lines. Did you see what the Cardinals
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: are doing. They have a specific section that's in like
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: the right field where you get unlimited food and drink. Yeah,
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: al food and drink, not alcohol, but unlimited food and
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: drink in that in that section which is Diamond which
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: is Diamond Club or Moet Sweet like right, but it's
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: it's it's just for everybody, for everybody, okay, and it's
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: in like kind of an upper higher level that cool
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: areas well.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: Imagine the camaraderie that you would find in that section.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: You spend whatever it is, and you can all you eat,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: all inclusive. Well, because the Marors have that that area
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: up on the left field deck. Yes, yeah, that is
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: of the time, it's like a private party. Yeah, but
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: you up there. How many times have you gone up
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: there and it's been a private party. I've never been
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: up there. It's it's awesome, but it's a private party
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: half the time they rent it out.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: I know, exactly right.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: I like that Cardinals plan. But here's to go back
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: to the NBA. Here's what we're talking about with this,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: my buddy. Yesterday, the tickets for the NBA are going
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: to be obscene like they are going to be obscenely high. Yes,
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Like Jeff, you go to NBA games every now and then,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: right they are. You think kracking tickets are expensive, wait
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: till you see the sticker shock the NBA for what
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: will be frankly a bad product, and that gets being
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: So I think it's too expensive. And I also think
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: that the world that we live in now, this is
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: why NBA drives me. Now, could you imagine this is
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: the Hillary Knight thing the other day. If you know
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: someone's going to be out beforehand, tell us, Because I
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: just said, I think you should pay more for certain things.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: You pay more for a big name concert than you
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: do for a smaller band.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: Right of course, Taylor Swift versus.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift's playing at luman it's gonna cost you a
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: hell of a lot more than if a band that's
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: just kind of on the optic monkeys they're playing it,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: they're playing down at the end. It's just like what's
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: a place down on the showbox? Showbox. Yeah, it's going
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: to cost you more. Yeah, it should cost you more.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: So be I think transparency by teams and less and
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: lower ticket prices that'd be my p viewers Andrews.
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and kind of piggybacking off of that. So you're
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: saying that, Okay, going to games should be a luxury event,
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: but you know what shouldn't be a luxury event is
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: watching the games. It should be accessible to all fans, right,
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: And we've had the grievances that we've aired out on
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: you know, streaming versus cable and how much it costs
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: for everything to kind of figure it all out, what
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: what league has the best way to have the most
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: accessible ways to watch your game? And I'm going to
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: use MLS as an example here because I think that's
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: because they changed it this year and it shows how
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: much better it can be when you make things accessible
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: to fans.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Before this year, when they signed the.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: Apple TV deal, not only did you have to have
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: Apple TV, you had to pay the extra package for
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: MLS Season Pass. It was like one hundred and something
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: dollars for the if you but you could watch every
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: MLS game no matter what, no blackouts, nothing, which I
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: think on some levels okay, because the whole MLB issue
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: was for the longest time you had to have a
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: cable and you couldn't watch it on stream at all,
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: so people like me couldn't have access to them. But
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: now the MLS kind of was like, Okay, we're a
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: growing sport. We want to make sure our product is
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: accessible to fans that are casual fans, that are soccer
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: fans and all that. So they got rid of the
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: extra package deal MLSCS pass. If you have Apple TV,
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: you can watch all MLS games now, And they've shown
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: in their first couple weeks of ratings this year it's
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: been astronomically higher people watching their games, which I think
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: is awesome and it's good that they are able to
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: kind of see that they're getting more eyes on their product.
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: And even though you're not necessarily paying for that, you're
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: still in the long run probably get more sponsor money
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: and all that stuff. So the bottom line isn't going
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: to really change all that much, especially leading into a
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: World Cup. All that being said, how much it costs
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: if I'm a sports fan and I want to watch
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: all the main sports in this area, you have to
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: get so many different things, and it sucks because I think,
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: like you said, going to games should be a luxury.
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: I get it supply and demand. Those big events like
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: that you're going to pay money. I think most people
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: have accepted that to this point. But the thing that
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: I can't accept is if I don't want to go
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: to a game, but I still want to watch my
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: team play, it still costs me up the you know
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: what to do that. So I think there should be
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: a way where, I don't know if it's like an
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: all lack cart situation for the streaming people like myself,
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: where you can pay a certain amount and just watch
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: all Cracking games, all Mariners games, all Sounders games, all
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: Seahawks games and just be like, all right, I just
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: want those games. I don't care about all the other
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: crap that gets packaged into it all the time. So
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: that's my kind of grievance, and you know, it kind
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: of goes along with yours saying that, you know, it
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: should be something that's accessible to every fan that wants to.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: I agree the I don't like paying to watch stuff
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: on TV if they're gonna run commercials.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, it should be making the money, right.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: I remember the first time that the first year of
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: the of the NFL package on Prime Network on Prime
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Video when it came out, and I was thinking, oh,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: this is be good like we're just going to bang
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: through it. Like they get to a TV time out,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: We'll probably go to the sideline, get a report, go
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: back to the studio, get a report, do something like that.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: Get just get content right, don't gonna run. So you're
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: double dipping. Pisses me off. Yes, I think that's just.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: But it's the way of the world. Like that's part
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: of what it is, you know, Like I like, I
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: have serious XM in my car, listen to some music
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: on there. Things like that. The music stations don't have commercials,
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: but the sports stations and all the other stuff does.
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, there should be ways to make money still without
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: like pricing fans out.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Do you see?
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: So the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings today
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: announced a new sports network, a new regional sports which
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: is wild because those are going away. They are going away,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: and I thought, but they have a new sports network
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: that just got announced today. I think it'll start this
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: year for the Tigers and next fall for the for
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: the for the Red Wings and Detroit Sports Network whatever
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: it's called. They were part of Fan Duel which has
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: gone out as going out of business. Basically the Fan
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Duel Sports Network which RSN is dying. At one point
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: it was Rootsports was based in Detroit or had Detroit,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: because there's times when Angie and Brad and all those
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: guys are doing like Detroit sports updates. Yeah, and then
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: they were doing and then doing Seattle stuff. But they
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: just announced that today. But it's gonna cost you twenty
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: bucks a month. It's actually the same as the Mariners. Yeah,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: it's twenty bucks a month for both of them for
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: I think per team. I'll tell you so, I'll tell
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: you the break. It's it's I think for the all
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: for the time. I don't think they said what the
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: what the Tigers want is you, I'll tell you right now.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: So it's basically the same models and matters are doing.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Like I believe. It could be wrong, and I guess
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: I won't know until opening day. I believe with the
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: sports tier I have on comcasts, I still have access
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: because they're showing, well we have it. Look six twenty seven,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: what's on today? Probably there's been baseball on every day
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Athletic San Diego.
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: So it looks like because Tigers and Red Wings aren't
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: opposite seasons. Yeah, it's just you get if you pay
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: twenty bucks a month. You get both of them for the.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Whole YEA, yeah, that's customers can subscribe to stream package
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: for either nineteen a month or one hundred and ninety
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: for the year. That's for us for MLB. Details on
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: how to watch the Red Wings games will be shared later.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: So actually it's four a year for two. It's actually
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: ten bucks cheaper for the season than the Mariners are charging. Yeah,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: they're a buck less, a buck less a month and
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: ten bucks a month. I mean, who cares about whatever
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: we're talking. Yeah, so it's it's negligible in that regard.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I I just don't think. I think you know,
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: and I got we got some great text coming in here.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Free TV I think should be something that teams still
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: look at. But they look at it as such an
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: important part of their revenue streams that they're trying to
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: make money, and I like, we understand that. It's a
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: beautiful thing about football. There's nothing no worry about that.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Although football is getting worse, man football is getting worse.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: It's more and there's gonna be more and more games
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: that are streamed on Peacock, Netflix, YouTube, whatever, especially European
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: games that are at the ass crack of Dawn, I'm old.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: I want a CBS window ten to ten to four,
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: a Fox window ten to four, Sunday night Baseball or
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football, Monday night football, if you got to
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: do Thursday. I'm used to the prime. I'm good. We
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: move on. But now, like Andrew said, I think you're
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: just as a sports fan, you're just being asked to
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: reach in your pocket all the.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: Time the time. The double dip is like.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: I'm literally thinking about getting I don't have Apple TV,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: but I'm thinking about getting it because I can just
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: get Apple TV and I get the Sounders because I
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: haven't watched the Sounders game unless it's been on f
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: S one in two years. And I like this, and
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: you know me, I like the Sounders. But at some
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: point you got to say.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: No, Well, I can just let you know.
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: You, and your you and your illegal stuff.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: We pay for it. Okay, that's not illegal.
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: Then I'm just saying that when you watch NBA games,
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: we don't have commercials because we get the truck.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: When you paid Rico the corner for that little box,
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: that's not called paying for all.
• 58:03
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: When he goes here, take this, give me a hundred
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: bucks and you can watch everything.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's not geno.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: No, it's not it's not like that. I'm just saying,
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: there are there?
• 58:17

• 58:52
  Speaker 12: you're listening, screw you, buddy. We say this city's name
• 58:58
  Speaker 12: with an American accent, Toronto, all right. You'd be hard
• 59:03
  Speaker 12: pressed even in British Columbia to find people that could
• 59:06
  Speaker 12: properly say miss Squally squim ISQua to Layla.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: So come on, man, he.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: Take a person the NBA. How the NBA is gonna

• 59:21
  Speaker 5: The torns of twenty thousand pards is the Torn Game?
• 59:26
  Speaker 7: Twenty thousand people went to the Torn Game. Imagine twenty
• 59:31
  Speaker 7: thousand people listening to making Rapino speak. Listen now and
• 59:38
  Speaker 7: thank me later. I'm doing.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Do you think has ever heard that guy?
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Has he heard him? I don't know.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: They have to play it for him. We'll play it
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: for him. Have said it to Chris will play form
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: a cross stock. I think imitations grace for a fat flattery.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: MJ's okay with that?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, are better sports better than others?
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's an unflattering imitation though either you
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: know it's one.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 5: It's just joky someone like the Jackson impersonator.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: I love that guy.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: It might be the same guy, but very well done,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: both of those.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: I was just looking at something. I okay, we don't
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's what's true anymore in this world.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: I'm going, Oh, who doesn't that?
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: I just saw it.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: I thought our Monday was.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: I saw a tweet, know, like, have they been hacked?
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: It's there. It's the official official government page for British Columbia.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: That would be beautiful British Columbia north of the border.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 8: For ye.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: When we turn the clocks ahead on March eighth, it
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: will be the last time change ever for BC. We're
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: changing to a permanent daylight savings time simply called Pacific time.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: Oh interesting, Just so it's Arizona and is it Nevada
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: that does that too.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, but I don't know what there is. What's Arizona
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: on right now?
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: They're technically on Mountain time right now, they're an hour difference,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: and then once we do, they.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: Never change, so they they'll be on it's the stupidest.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, but that's terrible, that's crazy. I'm just trying to
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: think what that means for like game stuff like that.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: It'd be an hour earlier now or later. I don't know,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: it would be an hour.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: Well, they'll always be on Pacific time.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: Well specific time, but when we're when we're on daylight
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: savings time right or screwing my head.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: Me too, because we're always on Pacific time.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I just I totally pull it off.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Of know that they ever changed anything.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: So they so when we jump ahead or go back,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: when we fall back, they'll be they'll be an hour ahead,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: like in the fall of be an hour ahead of us. Yeah, follow,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: I think. Okay, let's get the text four nine four
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: to five one, let's see. I love these Uh, it
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: could be the free back rub and winning the lottery
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: ticket club and if involves a subscription any kind of
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: percent out. Yeah, people are done with all that stuff,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: right like that. We pay her four hundred dollars for
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: a Sunday ticket started at two hundred dollars ten years ago,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: have Prime and cable for ESPN for football. Okay, so
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: you think about what you're this is interesting. You're all
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: the carding stuff here, right, Yep, it's.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 13: Not really all the cart You're paying for all this
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 13: other stuff right too. We also pay Yeah, so this
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 13: is a good from the from Kathleen. We pay her
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 13: four hundre dollars a Sunday ticket Prime, and we have
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 13: prime and cable for ESPN for football. We also pay
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 13: thirty one dollars a month for LB. We've lived out
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 13: of state for years. Military family went all the games
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 13: in sandyg It was reasonably reasonable. Can't even imagine what
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 13: would cost for us to go to a game at
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 13: lowit costs.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: Cost is probably the biggest concern or biggest you know
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: thing that we have with the complaints. Few people have. Yeah,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: so I get a fire stick in jail break it
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: it's all free.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, like justice?
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: This year thing.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 5: Uh, stream box gets all the channels nowhere.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: I don't want I don't. I don't do that.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, we all be fans, we were kids. The point
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: about free access to watch the sport is critical for
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: the long term life of the sport. I think that's
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: the same. I know what teams are trying to do.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: They're trying to again create revenue streams and things like that,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: you know, And that's in this By the way, this
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: conversation came up with Chris brought it up on mulliwop
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: that it costs how much it costs to go to
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: a spring training game to watch guys that aren't playing, right,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: you know? Or the Torrent knew Hillary Knight wasn't playing
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: and they didn't announce until an hour before the game on.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 4: Friday to a six eleven Phoenix tickets last week against
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: the d Bacs for sixty dollars minimum. Absolutely wild for
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 4: spring training game to sixty Blacks, not even the seats.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: Sixty bucks for a spring training game.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: Ten years ago, when one of my best friends got married,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: I was the maid of bonder and my parents were
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: invited to her wedding and it was in March in
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: Arizona and we went.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: It was sixty five dollars each. Sixty five dollars.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: Here's the one. This is all asked offt to this
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: because all I like just to kind of is he
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: back today? Tomorrow? Too bad? I could?
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: Oh wait, oh no, no, Wednesday? Oh it is.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: This is the one that gets people sideways. Seahawks season
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: ticket older since two thousand and four, preseason costs in
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: the same as regular season games and everything so expensive
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: in the stadium. Uh, that's that's the one, and that's
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: just the one. And spring training sounds like they have
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: gone that same road.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: But you're not forced to buy the spring training games
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 4: if you're a Mariner's season ticket holder like you are
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: for the Sea which is the stupid thing.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: Oh I forgot about that, the preseason games which they've
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: reduced to h yeah, yeah yeah, I mean they added
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: up regular season, but you're still paying for it, right.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: This is from anders Uh mass Gring is a two
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: five three area code. What drives me the craziest of
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: the sports fans all the different subscriptions required to watch sports.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: I enjoy all sports, so I want to watch a
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: lot of different things, but it becomes impossible at some
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: point from person experience, it's the gouging of on concessions.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: What I want is, and I think this may be
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 4: coming in the future, is for each team to do
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: an option and maybe you can do packages or whatever,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: but for each team to be like, hey, you just
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 4: watch our games. You pay this amount for the entire year,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 4: and then you do that for all the teams that
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 4: you want to watch. Because me, I don't really watch
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 4: other TV side sports. I really don't, So I would
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: just pay for all the Cracking games, all the Sounders games,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: all the Seahawks games, and all the Mariners games, and
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: that altogether, I feel like would be a I don't know,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: say it's one hundred dollars on average per team.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: That's four hundred bucks a year. You're good. I would
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: do that one hundred percent. Yeah, you would do it
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: the I think whereas I just saw that, oh right
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: now the streaming thing TV is supposed to be on
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: YouTube TV, but it isn't yet. I'm stressing once that's
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: fixed price of everything from merch to tickets. As from Marcus,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: this is when I'm with you on this. From the
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: four two five toss up between too many streaming services
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: and international games. Oh, I hate the international NFL games.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: I hate those with a passion. I absolutely despise it.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: I argue about this with Greg Bell all the time.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: And as I point out to Greg, I go, Greg,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: you don't care because you're driving or your your the
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: TNT flies you over. You're there anyway. You're not a
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: fan having to get up at five a like, okay, fine,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: I'll watch a gold medal game at five am. I'll
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: watch one Seahawk game every four or five years at
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: six am. Although I hate that. I think that's ridiculous.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: I don't like that's the I just don't. I don't
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: get it. I watched the Premier League, but that's that's
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: a Premier league, it's not the NFL. I've said this
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: for years. I'm gonna say it again. Then let's do this.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: Let's do a trade off. Anders, you and Jackson pick
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: the teams in the games. If the Seahawks are going
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: overseas and who's coming over here for a regular, a
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: regular season.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: Game, they are that. Actually there's a lot of talk.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: It was just on ESPN a couple of days ago.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: La Liga, who I was watching earlier, like Barcelona Real Madrid, Barcelona,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: the biggest teams in the world are trying to schedule
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 4: a game in the US. Okay, but they haven't yet
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: during the regular season.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: They haven't yet. Yeah, they have not yet. Okay, So again,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: come back, like, if Seattle's going to play in Tottenham,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: what did they played last time, Tottenham at the Tottenham Stadium?
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: Say Germany? No, it's Germany. Yeah, they're supposed to play
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: in Tottenham in the stadium. Wasn't done? They didn't played
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: in Wimbley, I think, right then?
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: Okay, who plays at Wembley Liverpool. Wembley is a It's
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: no club belongs there. It's like all the big events.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: That's where England plays.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, well then bring somebody over here and play here. Okay, okay, okay,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you the one I really hate. We're
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: playing NFL games and leap in Brazil Australia this year
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: stunned in South of Seahawks with Dixon to be honest, true.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: Second ago, Oh no, I was just going to say
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: what I don't like about it, like take the fan
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: part out of it, is that a team.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: Loses home field advantage in those situations.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: Like that's what I really don't like from just a
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: logistical team perspective.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: I think they became more okay with it from a
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: competition standpoint when they went to seventeen games. Yeah, and
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: so the imbalance schedule you have eight one year, nine
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: the next, that type of thing. Yeah, but I'm with you.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: I don't like, like, are you kidding me? Yeah?
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: Especially I mean I went to the England game back
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: We played the Raiders, I believe, Oh do you other
• 1:08:34

• 1:11:29
  Speaker 14: I'm hearing is is they're not hammered during their comedy meetings,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 14: and so that helps a little bit. Their Speaker of
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 14: Parliament or whatever it is up there, is not hammered
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 14: after and doing a budget meeting, and they're able to

• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: What are we waiting for? Wor's turt Ferguson at what's
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: he doing these days? It's a funny half. It's funny
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: name rny name, best skits ever, one of the great
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: it's just absolutely some of the best skits ever. Were
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: those were awesome. It's a big app Oh god, we
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: were talking today about things that drive you nuts. It's
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: a sports fan a little bit. Yeah, because Chris Crawford
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: brought this up during our mulliwop that spring training costs
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: basically regular season prices, including during the World Baseball Class.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: And it's not the preface is not just the maritors, Okay,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: not just the maritors. It's everybody, and there's people are
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: texting on Yeah we paid sixty bucks to sit in
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: the grass for a game, then nobody played it. Yeah
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: that's so ticket price is top of the list, Streaming apps,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: all those fun things. People getting pissed off about that.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: I'm with this. Two things to driving nuts having to
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: watch games on an app and games in a foreign country.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm with that person, whatever like that.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 14: You know what, I heard you bring that up. I
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 14: didn't hear the discussion, but I heard you bring it
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 14: up at the beginning of the show. And honestly, the
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 14: first thing that came to mind was had nothing to
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 14: do with the teams themselves, but the fan bases, and
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 14: it was the hyper negative knee jerk. Season is over
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 14: in the second quarter of the first football game of
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 14: the year. Guy, Wait, it wasn't like, oh my god, sure,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 14: oh wait, the season was over when we lost to
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 14: the forty nine ers. Yes, it was over, like the
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 14: season was over, like you can't beat the Softy and
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 14: I actually went back. It was so bad on social
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 14: media that day and the day after the Seahawks loss
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 14: to the forty nine ers, Softy and I went back
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 14: like two weeks ago, and we actually listened to our
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 14: reaction on the Monday after the fourth and thank god,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 14: both Softy and I was took a measured, non nuclear
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 14: approach to the first loss of the season because Seahawks
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 14: fans weren't having any of that.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: So they were three and two after Tampa. I can
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: see the knee jerk after Tampa because that game the defense,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: which was supposed to be your strength. Yes, but there
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: was five guys off the defense. I get that. That's
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: the excuse I gave him in that game. I remember that.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: I understand that. But my point always with the NFL
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: is this, the right hand column is everything. It is everything,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: and you can only afford to get to in today's
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: NFL take home field advantage. This year, you can only
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: get to four to three with the number one seed. Yeah,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: so you got two before the October fifth, you got
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: two losses in the right column. I could see concern there.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: What you mentioned the San Francisco game. There's a thing
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: that we posted. Of course, we don't post the good stuff.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: We just posted this. This is back first week of
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: the year, and I was hyper critical after that first
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: game of the lack of aggressiveness by Kubiak and McDonald.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: If remember that forty game fourth one, fourth and one
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: at the nineteen yes and no no, it was a
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: few kicked field goal. And the point was is that
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: if not for Jake Moody being got awful, they were
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: kind of moving the ball on you mm hm, and
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: you gave him three and a half minutes left and
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: all they and they went down and scored right in
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: the game. So I brought that up. I was critical
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: of that. Now, I don't think I was critical overall.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: I just was a critical of a guy. Hey, we're
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: gonna be aggressive, We're gonna run the football. They didn't
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: have the barner push in or whatever the hell they
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: call it, probably have gone for it. But if you
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: remember on the broadcast, great when you were at the game,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: Greg Olsen was massively critical of that play. So I
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: kind of jumped on his band. I'd like to not
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: take credit for that. Greg greg Olson said that they
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: were they were kind of they kind of pulled it,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: got a little too conservative there. But yeah, no, I
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: can I do the hypercritical fan. I get it. I
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: can be that guy, especially with the Koogs. Yeah, rightfully,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna we gotta fire a basketball coach.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: Right, Chess, what you don't like to hear it?
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: It's so weird, so weird, just losing the Pepperdiner l
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: m U and oh the Huskies had a great showing on. Yeah,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: you know what, it's good for them to show up
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: for Death with Knight. I mean, this is Wesley Yates
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: just missed another jumper? Is one for seventeen?
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 7: Dad?
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: Would you let a kid in high school? Dick coaches
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: still play coaches Mountaineer if a kid was at what
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: point when the kids won for eight, nine, ten, right
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: about you're done, I'm gonna talk.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 14: I wouldn't know if i'd pull him, but I'm like,
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 14: you know, you see this big German dude over here.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get it. I'm the ball more than eleven shots?
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: This guy here's me that guy over here, Yeah, you
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: might want to get the you know, we're honoring a
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: German guy today.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 14: Let's get the other German kid the ball for more
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 14: than eleven shots in a basketball game.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: I was feeling really crappy about our basketball team, which
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: I still do because I still am a massacress. I'll
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: watch it, and then I saw the line for Wesley
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: Yates from USC that's money. It's the first thing I checked.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: After the I watched.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 14: I watched the whole game, direction I turned it off
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 14: at the seventh, the eight minute time out in the
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 14: second half, I was like, I cannot watch this.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: So at the end of the game, the first thing
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: I did was like, I went to the.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 5: What did Wesley Yates go from the field.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: This isn't even worse. I thought, this isn't Wisconsin. Think
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: this isn't the Badgers ten years ago anything, this is
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: this is a very average team.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 14: Well, speaking of that, we'll talk about that with Mike
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 14: de Corsi at five o'clock and the good college basketball
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 14: teams out there, they're fighting for the final four.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: A great game at six o'clock today.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 14: But this guy with the greatest quaff on his chin,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 14: like the greatest facial hair in the Pacific Northwest, Jackson
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 14: Bevans from the Cigar Thoughts will join us UH co
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 14: hosting today until seven OClO.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: I've matched that with Lane Lamberts these days. It's so bad.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: That's a Lane Lambert thick beard right there. That's a
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: very good one.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 14: Thing I've noticed though in the last couple of years,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 14: I see a few Grays and Jackson Bevans.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: Listen to the station.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: So basically you've got Jackson squared and fain. Today is
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: we got go.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 14: For the mild mannered and marginally objectionable e Inverness.
