  Speaker 1: It's time for Chuck's weekly visit with Ryan Healy. Brought
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to you by the Emerald Queen Casino, bringing you the

• 0:20
  Speaker 2: And Rent. Oh, man, Ryan looks serious today. My gosh,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: he's got a scowl on his face. He's already prepared
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: to be angry at something that I said, I think.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Great morning to you. It is 9 o'clock here on
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: this Thursday. I think I already got a thumbs down,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: for goodness sake. Oh, he can't hear me is the problem.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: That's why he had the angry scowl on his face. Well,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: good morning to everybody else here. It is Chuck in
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the Morning, Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM, typically Ryan Healy.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: joins us on Tuesdays, but we got him joining us
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: on a Thursday here today, and probably for the remainder
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: of the season. Did we get the audio fixed in
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: his ears at this point? I can't tell by the expression.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Can he hear us? It doesn't look like we are
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: connected on that front, which would be really disappointing. All right,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: we'll work on that behind the scenes, but a lot
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: of things to get into with Ryan here today. And
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: as soon as we have the connection, we'll get into it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: But one of the things that I kind of rushed
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: through in the ABCs, and since he can't hear me,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I guess I'll just say it. And that is the
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Julio Rodriguez with the decision. I mean, you were Julio
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Rodriguez playing a single into a triple. All right, now
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: he's got me. So now he's going to be able
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: to hear this. Good morning, sir. How are you? Can
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you hear me? I'm doing wonderful. There he is. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: can hear you. Can you hear me? I can hear you.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I can hear you. All right. Let's party. All right. Well,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I'll save that. I'll put a pin in that, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: then we'll get back to it now that we've got
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Ryan with us. So let me just start with how
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: crazy baseball is. Everybody's ready to sign off on this team,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and believe me, I'm right there on the ledge. But
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: then they breathe life right back into the season. I mean, Ryan,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: for those that still can't believe it when– Baseball players
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: say it's a long season. I mean, my goodness, here
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: we are in September, two straight wins, and suddenly it
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: feels like they're alive again. There's air back in the
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: lungs of the corpse.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I have a lot of gray hairs at the youthful
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: age of 34, and it's in the little bit of
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: the chin.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: It's in the hair on the top.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: It's not because of my kids. Even though they're challenging,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: they're great. It's because of baseball. And it's the years
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: of just stress and trauma and unknowns and day-to-day roller
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: coasters that it presents. This is the part of the
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: season where it matters the most. And every day feels
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: like the end of the world or you're on top
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: of the world.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I have no idea what you're talking about. I've yet
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: to sprout a gray hair.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: So.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, so you dye it that color. Interesting. It's really
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: popular with the young kids these days. They're actually going
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to the salons and getting their hair gray. Uh, so
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I've just followed the trend. I'm sure it's probably half
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: off at the salon. So it's a good point by you. Yeah,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: it worked out well. Uh, it definitely did make me
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: look aged. Um, all right. Well, um, What happens to
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: a team that struggles offensively all season long, and then
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, eight runs or more, three straight days?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of listeners would wonder, how does
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: that just kick in all of a sudden?
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Honestly, hitting is so contagious, and I know that's such
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: a cliche statement. Coming from a player's perspective, it's hard
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: to quantify why it happens all of a sudden. There's
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: a lot of factors of Maybe a new player comes
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: up and injects a little bit of energy into you.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I believe Lazaro Montes did that this series in Boston.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I think also Cal Raleigh, what he's starting to do,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: there's that sign of hope that's showing up on a
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: regular basis. Like, man, that dude struggled all season long,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: won AO Play of the Week all of a sudden,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: and is now a threat every time he steps in
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: the batter's box. It also has to do with pitchers. Like,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: pitchers are at the end of the season. They're getting fatigued.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: The secondary pitches aren't as sharp. There's more mistakes available.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: And then also the underlying pressure of just how important
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: every single game is. Nobody wants to play in the
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: playoffs more than these players on this team. And they're
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: recognizing that they're running out of time. Baseball players spend
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: so much time all season trying to calm ourselves down. Otherwise,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: we'll make a mountain out of a molehill and we'll
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: just lose our minds. But right now, the intensity is up.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: There's no choice but to sprint and go and make
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: every bat the most important one out there. And I
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: think you were talking about this earlier about Julio. I
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: think that's another reason why that mistake happened. But on
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the offensive front, the sense of urgency has to be present.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: And I think teams battle to maintain that sense of urgency,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: but also have that calm about them. But at this
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: time of year, you don't have a choice to be calm.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: You just got to full send.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: You brought up two names that I want to discuss
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: with you. Laz Montes, and I'll go ahead and save
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: him because I got like three questions about him for you. Um,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: let's say let's, let's bring up the guy that you
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: just mentioned. Cause I was getting ready to talk about him.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Julio Rodriguez. What, what kind of effect does it have
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: when one of your best players makes a couple mental
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: mistakes in a series at a time where it is
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: just so things feel urgent. Like we can't afford to
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: make those mistakes. What kind of effect does that have
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: on the rest of the team, if any? Because this
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: is stuff that nobody listening that complains about it could
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: possibly know, and that is how his teammates react to
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: seeing what looked to be a pretty boneheaded decision the
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: other night.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a poor decision, but it was also
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: an aggressive decision that he made and didn't know if
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: it was going to be a mistake until the play happened, unfortunately.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: From the player, like a guy that's in the clubhouse
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: with him, I'm backing him no matter what. I'm like, hey, man,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: we got you. We'll pick you up here. No, we're like,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: we got you. Like, that's the message that happens from
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: player to player. There's nobody grabbing Julio by the shirt saying.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Like, that's not how this goes. There's obviously better decisions
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: he could have made. He knows that. I know he
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: feels terrible about it. And I think as baseball players
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: and just as high level athletes in general, any sport,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: you make a mistake. Nobody feels worse than you do.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Like nobody, nobody has to remind you of how dumb
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: that was for you to feel bad about yourself. So
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: they need more encouragement and picking them up in that moment.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: The piece that I'm more concerned about is the offensive
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: front for Julio. And he had a pretty solid showing
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: yesterday in the finale in Boston, which was a good sign,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: but offensively he's looked so out of whack. And I
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: think that has a bigger effect on the lineup and
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: the team than that one play that he made in
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Boston that did end up costing them the game. Um,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I feel like the three-hole is such an anchor for
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: your squad, and if he's looking silly against these pitchers,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: then it can take a little bit of confidence away
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: from the rest of the lineup. Saw that with Cal
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Raleigh this year. When your dude is kind of getting
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: taken care of pretty easily, it can be a little
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: deflating for the rest of the lineup. So I'm more
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: worried about Julio turning it around and being a catalyst
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: for this team offensively than I am about that one
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: play that happened in Boston.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: What a dude Randy Rosarino has been lately.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, talk about just the lights turn up brighter
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: and Randy shows up no matter what. Just the ability
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: for Randy to lock in when he wants to and
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: just take over a game. It's one of the most
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: special things in the world. And that man is setting
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: himself up and his family for generations up for what
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: he's going to earn this offseason free agency.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is going to be a bidding war, especially
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the need for right-handed hitting right now. In Major League Baseball,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: it is... There's a dearth, it seems. It's Ryan Healy.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: He joins us every week here on the program. Mariner's analyst,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: of course, and former Mariner player. And we have the
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: privilege of being able to chat with him every week.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Used to be on Tuesdays, but we're going to switch
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: it to Thursdays for the rest of the baseball season.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: At least we get our Ryan Healy conversation in. Let's
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: talk about Laz Montez. And I just want to talk
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: about just, in general, bringing Ryan Healy's career, just how
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: special your debut was for you and just is for
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: a baseball player.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: It's... It's an unbelievable feeling. You're walking on clouds on
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: two shaky legs the entire day where everything almost just
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: feels like an out-of-body experience. The most impressive thing that
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: I saw from Montes was just how he conducted his
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: at-bats throughout the course of that game. Never looked like
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: he was over-anxious, swinging at everything, really let the game
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: come to him. First ever Major League at-bat was runners
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: in scoring position for a team that is kind of
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: living and dying by every run scored or run given
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: up and results of the game right now.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Like that was really cool to see.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: And I felt like the connection to him and Randy
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: had probably allowed him to settle in a little bit more.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: And I saw the video of Laz calling his family
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: and sharing the news of him getting called up, man.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: That just, whenever you see that as a player that
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: has lived that moment, it just brings a tear to
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: your eye. Like it's just so special. The amount of
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Years and years of work and sacrifice and investment that
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: went into that opportunity.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: It was so cool.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: And then for him, obviously, to have the success, the
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: RBI single, and to get a walk, and then he
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: also had a homer to dead center. Talk about just
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: a storybook ending to a tremendous start to a big
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: league career. I don't know if you can... draw it
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: up any better than that. Maybe you can remove the
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: strikeout looking. If you ask Laz, he'd be like, I
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: should have swung the bat on the fastball. But there's
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: bound to happen. I'm sure his heart was racing and
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: he was feeling good. But yeah, you can't draw it
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: up much better than that.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: And they won. and they won and then they didn't
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: put them in the lineup the next day. And that
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: bothered a lot of people. What did you think of it?
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Um, I understand there was, uh, I had an old
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: coach in the big leagues who used to talk about
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: how if you hit a Homer in the show, you
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: should be guaranteed to be in the lineup the next day.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Like make, make subtle rules like that. And I've heard
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: stories of even guys coming up in the minor leagues, uh,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Matt Carpenter, uh, Had a minor league coach who said,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: if you got two hits in the game, you're guaranteed
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: to line up the next day.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: And it's like, there's different rules that happen like that.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I had to go get some just like statistical backing
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: to understand why the decision happened. Have you looked at
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: what the splits are lefty righty this year in minor leagues?
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I did. Yeah.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: So he's hitting 201 against lefties. Does have a 330
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: on base percentage, which is good. The slug is sub 400,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: which isn't ideal. So the OPS is under 700 in
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: the minor leagues. The strikeout rate's slightly lower than righty.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: The walk rate's still pretty good. That's been a big
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: piece of his game that's turned his ability to walk.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: You know, right-handed, he's hitting, or against the right-handed pitchers,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: he's hitting 274, 390 OPS and almost a 660 slug,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: over 1,000 OPS. So, I mean, if you're bringing a
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: guy up that you probably didn't predict was going to
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: help this team this season, but you need to find
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: place for him and the role to introduce him to
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: the big leagues, doesn't this make the most sense to say, hey,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: let's let him be our you know, our platoon guy
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: for right now. That's how the Mariners have done it
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: this entire journey. Like, think about what Dom Canzon has
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: had to do to become an everyday player as a
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: left-handed bat. That's what the major league labels, unfortunately, left-handed
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: hitters as. You can hit right-handed hit pitchers, but lefties,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: we don't know. And Taylor Ward, like, they went out
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: and they got this dude to... to be that hole
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: in this lineup that's really been struggling. And the Mariners
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: have had really poor luck with getting right-handed bats going
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: this season, guys that are in that platoon role. So
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: I think there's going to be a platoon going right now,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: depending on what Montez does. I understand why people are
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: upset he wasn't in there for game two after what
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: he did in game one. I completely get that. But
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: I do think that the Mariners had a plan. They're
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: just going to stick to it. And then based off
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: of their face in that day, you will see Laz.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: But I think they're going to stick to what they've
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: been true to their entire year.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: And in most cases, I do defend the process. I
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: do defend the, hey, this is a game of percentages.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: The decisions that you make might not always work out,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: but it might have been the right decision. Just mathematically,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: the way that the matchup plays out, that I do
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: most often want to go with what the numbers suggest
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: gives me the best chance to win in that situation.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: That said, when does, if not yesterday, when does just
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: feel and what that guy brought to the table the
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: previous night and the energy that he brought to that
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: dugout the previous night at a time of desperation? When
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: does that overtake the slight advantage that you get by
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: hitting a righty versus hitting a lefty? It's a very
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: valid question, Chuck.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: I think the when is the hardest part to answer
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: because truthfully, I don't know if it does happen just
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: based off of how I've seen this organization function. And
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know if all of a sudden it goes
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: straight to gut instinct. I don't think that's... That's not
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: how Major League Baseball high-stakes games are played nowadays with
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: how much information is available. I think we've also seen
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: some adjustments with quick triggers on bullpen decisions. So maybe
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: they are showing some signs of that in the coaching staff,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: but I'm going to lean more on what they've shown
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: me this entire season as opposed to what I feel
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: like I would want to happen or what the fans
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: would want to happen in those situations because they're running...
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: so many algorithms to what the formula to success would be,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: but the ultimate performance on the field of the players
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: determines the game is won or lost. So you're stuck
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: between a rock and a hard place there, Chuck, and
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: you're not going to get the answer you're hoping for.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Well, obviously this season has not gone the way they wanted.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: We're sitting here with, what, 22 games to play, still
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: five games out. So yes, we're saying there's a chance.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: And the schedule suddenly gets lighter the rest of the way.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: The Healy Bowl starts tonight. A's versus Mariners, the two
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: uniforms that you prominently wore at the major league level.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: And they've obviously not had a good season either. But
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: how dangerous is a team with a bunch of young
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: players trying to prove that they need to be a
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: part of a roster next season at this time of year?
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Very dangerous. I was a part of rosters like this.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: My rookie year, I was a part of this roster.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: And It's a different level of motivation when you're playing
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: for your livelihood, because at this point, there's nothing more
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: fun in the major leagues than playing for postseason. But
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: when that's taken away from you the last four, six,
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: eight weeks of the season, you're unfortunately playing for yourself.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: And when that happens, there's a different gear and players
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: that they kind of reserve of like, this is my
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: chance to stay in the major leagues. And people are
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: going to remember the last month of my season and
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: determine my you know, my contract for next year off
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: that does this team keep me? Do they release me?
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: And then I'm tender me so many things that go
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: into that. Like this is the spoiler teams are really
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: dangerous this time of year. And that energy has to
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: be matched by the team that is still pursuing the playoffs.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: But the margin for error is so small. Like the
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Mariners don't have the runway to be able to make
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: mistakes like they did in Toronto to get swept three
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: games like that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Like that's gone.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: They have to essentially be as close to perfect as
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: you can possibly imagine. And I got a feeling they
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: know that. You can't hide from that. But the only
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: way you could really be perfect is just executing one pitch,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: one play, one game at a time. So whatever spoilers
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: trying to come into T-Mobile and play that, let them
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: do their thing. But the numbers are stacked up nicely
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: for the Mariners this month. They just need to go
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: take care of business one game at a time.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And look, there have been moments, I mean, we've
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: been waiting for this see change all season long. Where's
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: that hot streak? Well, I know they won eight games
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: in a row earlier this year, but it feels a
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: lifetime ago. Um, and we know they're capable of going
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: on a run if they can play to their abilities. Um,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: we've had moments like a Cole young three run Homer
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: that bailed them out from not that great of a
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: game and they want it. And we thought maybe that
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: was going to turn into something and saw the same
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: thing from Dom can zone. But when you see three
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: straight games of a team that has struggled so much
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: offensively score eight runs or more in three, is that different?
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Is that true momentum? Is that true they might have
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: figured something out in your estimation?
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: How many times have we said yes to specific things
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: this year and then just gotten embarrassed? I'm going to
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: say it's a good sign. This team's undefeated in September.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Let's ride that encouragement. They've already scored 17 runs this month,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: and they've only allowed nine runs this month. That's a
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: formula for winning, Chuck.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Okay. So I'm wondering, is this different? Is that different?
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: It can be different.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: And I guess at this point, if you're a Mariners fan,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: you've already given your heart to this team, and they've
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: broken it plenty.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Why not give it to them one more time? One
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: more month.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Let's fall in love with the potential and the unknown.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: And if they break it, they break it. You've got
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks coming real soon. You can always mend it
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: in the fall and the winter with them. But I'm
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: giving the Mariners my heart. And if they break it,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: I'll spend the offseason recovering.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: It's funny. Ashley and I were just talking about that
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: earlier in the show. If you were dating the Mariners,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: you'd be like, your mom or your best friend would
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: be like, you need to just sever this relation. No,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: they're different.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: They're different.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: They're special. I really feel it. This isn't the notebook.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: We haven't had a notebook season where both options are fantastic.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I guess the Mariners have only had one winning month
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: this season, so maybe they're due. Maybe they're due for
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: like a 20-9 stretch or something.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Let's be hopeful about it. What do you think of
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: my UW hat that I'm wearing on our Zoom call
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: here today? What do you think of that as an
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Oregon person? It's so crazy. It's 9.20. Our time is up.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me today, Chuck. Wow.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: So good to see you. I'm going to go on
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: TV now. Okay, bye. Do you want to just immerse
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: yourself in this glorious purple color here? I just gagged
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: a little.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was going to say he almost puked.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: I'm trying not to look at him. I've been staring
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: at the TV behind you the whole day. Between that
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: and your white beard, that's where I'm bouncing back and
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: forth from.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Both strategic.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Set the tone on this Thursday. That's right. That's right.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: All right, man. You're the best. Thank you. We appreciate it.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to you again next week. Can't wait. See
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: you guys. Ryan Ailey joining us right here on the
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: radio program. Former Mariner, always giving us terrific insight every
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: week here on the show. Coming up next, let's talk
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: a little more college football. This is a big college
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: football preview week for us here in the mornings. And, man.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: College football just does find a way to always have
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: some issue that takes over the headlines. And this is
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: a doozy. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. All right, it's
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Chuck and Ashley with you, Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Tulalip Resort Casino, it's waiting for you. I mean, any day, night,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's one of those places that, you know,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: you can take a sleeping bag, you know, take it
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: into your room. You just spend the night there.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: You know, you don't have to wait for parents' permission.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: You're an adult now.
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: You can just take your pajamas, head on up to
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Tulalip Resort Casino, spend the night. I mean, it's there
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: for all sorts of activities, but... If you need an incentive,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: if you need some motivation, we got it for you.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Ashley's going to be hosting a party next Wednesday. There
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: you go. Show enough.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: A little watch party. Watch party of the seal.
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: Might as well come with me.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Hang out. That's right.
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: Win some money, make some bets, eat some food, drink
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: some drinks, and watch some football.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: And you have an adult playground right next to you
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: where you can have all sorts of fun even after
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: You can do what you want.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: And if you want to stay the night, stay the night.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Not with Ashley, of course.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: No.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: That's not on the table.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: That's frowned upon.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Right. But watch party next Wednesday for the season opener.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: If you aren't heading to the game but you want
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: to be around a bunch of 12s, then this sounds
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: like a really good idea for you. The Tulalip Resort Casino,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: when all you want is everything, everything Tulalip. All right,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: college football season really does start tonight. I realize we
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: have some games in the books, but we really do
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: have a college football season getting underway today. I don't
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: know why Rutgers has turned into the opener every year
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: in week number one. It does seem that way. Yeah,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: doesn't it? And I know this because I got two
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: really good buddies that went to Rutgers, and I always
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: send them an annual email like, here we go. Tell
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: me this year why it's going to be different. And
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: then they... Give me smart ass responses. Sounds about right.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: They defend their alma mater, their football team that they
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: love so dearly. Both of them. It's crazy how much
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: they love Rutgers football. Exactly. And it just never turns out.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, get started at 3 o'clock this afternoon with
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Rutgers and Massachusetts. And unfortunately, the college football season gets
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: started again with another controversy. And I guess there's no
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: avoiding it when there's this much money. There's always somebody
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: trying to bend or break the rules or set off
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: on a new path that leads them to more success.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: It just is a shame that Lane Kiffin always seems
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: to be at the center of these things in recent years.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Rick Neuweisel defended him earlier this week, said that he
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: thinks Lane Kiffin's got a great point, that you change
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: the rules after players had declared themselves for the National
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Football League and allowed a fifth year, regardless of redshirt
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: or anything, it's five years, get a fifth year, and...
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe if some of those guys knew that they could
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: play another year of college football and another year of
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: NIL money that they would have stayed. So when they
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: didn't work out with their pro team, then why couldn't
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: they go back to college and exercise that fifth year
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: that all future players apparently missed? are going to get.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: So Coach Neuheisel sees where Lane Kiffin's coming from. He
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: thinks it's a good point. And yet the conferences don't
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: see it that way. And the SEC certainly doesn't see
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: that way. And it's gotten to the point, and I
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: don't know how many people are married to this idea,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: but the Georgia Attorney General yesterday said, if LSU... goes
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: ahead and plays pros when the conference has told them
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: they can't play these players, then I move to remove
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: them from the conference. Yeah. How about that? I don't
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: know if that stands up. I don't know if an
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: attorney general in Georgia who obviously has rooting interest versus
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: an LSU judge in Baton Rouge that obviously has rooting
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: interest in LSU. I don't know who wins in that
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: litigious battle. I don't know which court comes out on top,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: but obviously they take their football very seriously in the South.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: It is everything to them. And so you've got one
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: conference that's trying to push to get By themselves, they're
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: the only ones that are trying to push for these
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: players to play. And then now you've got other officials
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: in other states that are SEC-tied that are saying, let's
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: go to the most extreme measure if this jerk tries
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: to do this when we've told him that he can't.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: And that is, let's just kick LSU out of the league.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, I love the drama because it doesn't have
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: anything to do with the teams I root for. So
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: if the SEC is all at each other's throats and
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: falling apart, sign me up and get me the popcorn.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: But I do find it interesting that, yeah, the South
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: and the Southwest really do have judges and lawmakers that
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: are in their pockets trying to help them out. I mean,
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: the Brendan Sorsby thing with Texas Tech, that was a
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: lawmaker or judge there that had ruled in Texas Tech's favor.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: And now you've got. All of this happening.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, at some point, you think someone's going to
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: step in and be like, all right, you cannot weigh
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: in on any official decisions that have to do with
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: a school you have a rooting interest in. You're supposed
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: to be unbiased, and clearly these decisions that keep happening
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: are not unbiased.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: But again, sign me up for all the chaos.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Well, sign me up for punishing Lane Kiffin.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that too.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be something if he's the guy that gets
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: you kicked out of your beloved SEC? Yeah.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: And I doubt it'll happen, but I want it to.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. Yeah. But that's about as serious a
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: threat as you can make. And again, this isn't coming
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: from Greg Sankey, the commissioner. This is coming from another
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: jilted SEC fan who probably is taking his fandom too
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: far and using his power to an absurd level. But
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I think, I mean, if he just goes ahead and
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: plays them anyway, what does the SEC do? If Lane
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Kiffin just suits up Zavian Harris and Daquan Wright in
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: the next game, what is going to be the reaction
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: from the Southeast Conference? They have made it a rule.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: So what are they going to do if you play them?
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, that remains to be seen, I suppose.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I, and that's if what I heard is that
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: there is.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: An idea penalties, I think is what has been used.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: We're going to get stiff penalties, half season suspension for coaches, uh,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: a fine, you know, that's, that's the plan at this point.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: But you know, if, what are you going to do
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: that is actually going to throw this dog off this scent?
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Because Lane Kiffin seems like he is willing to just
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: put the middle finger to the entire conference right now.
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: Well, he does that, puts his middle finger to things regularly.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, when it's not in his favor, he instantly,
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: his first reaction is straight up, well, let's blow it up,
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: we'll figure it out later. And from what I've heard, though, is,
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: you know, the idea, there's ideas of boycotting and things
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: like that, but it's not like teams are going to
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: show up and then, you know, these players show up
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: and they decide, okay, we're not going to play because
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: that's a forfeit and you're not going to take that L.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: But they could play under protest and then.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: I guess, you know, if they lose, then go argue
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: that the game shouldn't have counted. If they beat LSU,
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: no one's going to argue that game shouldn't have counted.
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you that much.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think kicking them out of the
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: league seems like it'll never happen. Maybe you have to
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: start at the top. You know, when you're a kid,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: I'll kill you. You're not really going to kill the person.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: So maybe you do have to start at the top
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: with your threat. But I would think Lane Kiffin... I
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: think his reaction to that is, yeah, good luck trying
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: to kick LSU out of the conference over this. But
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I would think they would be able to say, yeah,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: every game they play, you're going to forfeit. You lose
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: that game. Or the SEC says anybody that does this
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: is not bowl eligible.
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they could do something.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: So here you are trying to coach Ole Miss while
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: you're the LSU head coach because being in the playoff
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: is so important to you. So take away something important
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: to him. don't take away something mythical like we're going
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: to kick you out of the SEC. He's probably laughing
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: at that behind the scenes. He'll wait it out if
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: you just have him forfeit games. He'll probably just wait
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: it out to see if his judge can overrule their judge.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: But I would think an SEC could say, if you
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: do this, then you are not bowl eligible. You can't
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: participate in the playoff. And I think that would bother
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: him more than anything. I think Lane Kiffin would be
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: more bothered by that than he would be getting kicked
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: out of the SEC.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: Oh, probably, because he'd.
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: Be like, well, we're powerful enough, we can do it
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: on our own.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: Look at Notre Dame.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look at Notre Dame. We're the Notre Dame of
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: the South.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I do think, I mean, it's just baffling
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: to me Your conference has made a rule, and you
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: just chose to say, I don't like it, so I'm going.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: To make my own.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: 15 minutes into a brand new job. Now, I know
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: you've been in the conference for a while, but 15
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: minutes into your new job, and you're putting LSU on
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: the map for this. Well, they're on the map, but
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. You're putting them in the
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: throes of this controversy. Just because you want it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: No, but I really want to do this. Nobody else
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: has done this. I was ahead of this. I'm going
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: to look like a genius. Let me do this. Yeah.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: And he'll say, well, it's it's not against the rules,
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: but it is because they create, they said, we are
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: not doing this.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: This is against the rules. No, it's not.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Illegal as far as like law goes. So it's not
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: like saying, well, I want to be rich. So I'm
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: going to go rob a bank, but I wanted to
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: be rich. I mean, that's illegal. I understand the difference,
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: but same, you know, same idea. he's just worried about
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: himself and how it's not even, I don't even think
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: he's worried about his team. He is worried about himself
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: and how great he can look as a coach.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: He's just a brat.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: And adults are supposed to, that's supposed to wear off
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: over time. He's just a grown up brat. He's almost
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: gotten worse. Oh, he for sure has gotten worse. The
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: more powerful he gets, the worse that he gets. But
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess I got to, entertain what Coach
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Neuheisel said about the situation, that maybe he's on technically
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: the right side of it. I guess I have to
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: entertain that. And here's the saddest part, just to conclude
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: the conversation for now. He's probably going to win this. Yeah, probably.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's going to be enough legalities that they
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: probably won't be able to enforce it. And he'll probably
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: come out smelling like a rose through all of his bratty, petulant...
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: stances that he's taking right now he's probably going to
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: win it and the scc is not going to kick
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: lsu out and they're probably not going to end up
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: punishing them in any way and that's my guess.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah and then there goes the i mean not the
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: the line between college sports and professional sports is already
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: extremely blurred but now you're done right because it used
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: to be you declare you're done you declare for the
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: nfl draft you're out of college and now it's okay
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: so go try it And if it doesn't work, come back.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: And then you can screw up all the rosters of
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: all the kids that have been practicing since the beginning
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: of summer because now you've got pro players that didn't
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: make it and want to come back to college.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, maybe this next offseason the NFL puts
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: that in. I don't know. Maybe.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe there's another layer that they add to this before
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin tries to find another wrinkle to it. But
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: if he gets away with it and it's still in
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: play next year, he's right, though. Sark's going to do
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: it next year.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Even though he was very outspoken about it earlier this week,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: he'll do it next year.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: Absolutely.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know if Kalen would. I don't know if
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Kalen DeBoer would. I really don't know. Yeah, I don't.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: I don't know a lot about that guy.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Kirby Smart would. He's not going to let LSU have
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: that advantage over him. He'd do it. All right, coming
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: up next, we close out the show with one last
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: thing on Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: All right, final segment of the radio program. Ashley and
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Chuck with you here as we close things out with
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: one last thing. We do it pretty much every day. So, Ashley,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: what do you got on your mind for one last thing?
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: Okay, so we got a text from a listener very
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: early in the show today, and they were giving me
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: some information about a website I had not yet heard of.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: And so they said, go to toughonetonight.com and hit random.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: So I did.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: And it is all quotes from Dan Wilson after losses.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: So you hit random and it just goes to a
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: random game.
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: So this one, after the Mariners lost to the Red
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: Sox on June 20th, tough, tough ball game tonight.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: That was a 5-1 loss.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: Go to July 3rd against the Blue Jays.
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: It's been a tough stretch. All teams go through it
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: at some point.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: After the Mariners lost to the Guardians on June 27th,
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: tough ball game tonight.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: That was a 4-3 loss.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: Uh, May 17th, they lost to the Padres. A tough day,
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: tough series. We're going to have to turn the page
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: quickly on this one. Uh, where's, uh, Chicago White Sox,
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: May 10th.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Those are tough ones. You know, I was just thinking
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: is because we did the Mariners morning after, and we
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: seem to be locked in on the good vibrations for
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: the win.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe the law, the law should be, uh, Oh, gosh,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I just lost the name of the song, but a
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: tough song.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Is it tough enough? Or something like that. Yeah, that's good.
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: That's good. This one from March 31st against the Yankees.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: Tough one tonight. A tougher night tonight. Tough game today.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: Tough series.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: Tough day all around. Tough way to end the series here.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's just throughout, and it's just random. You
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: can go through the order of the whole season if
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: you want, or you can randomize.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: So there you go.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a tough one tonight. A tough
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: one tonight, I know.
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I love that. I listened to that the other
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: day on the way home after our conversation. I was like, oh,
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: this could really work. This could really work.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: We also did get a text, by the way, asking
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: if we could give fact or fiction info just since
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: I'm calling out Texas.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: It starts Monday. There you go. Yes, Labor Day.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: Starts on Monday.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: If you've been playing along because you heard a poorly
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: placed promo last week. Oh, gosh.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Sorry about it, but we haven't started yet.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Monday.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: Labor Day.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Monday, Monday.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: All right. Yeah, I like the– I've been sent a few, like,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: GIFs or GIFs or whatever they are. And it's, like,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: the retired number one, and it just says tough on
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: top of– Yeah, tough. Tough one.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: Tough one. I like that.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: It's– Yeah, Dan, I love you, Dan, but you've got
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: to come up with something else.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Nobody's just mentioned it to him that you should stop
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: doing that? I think somebody finally did because after the
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Red Sox game, he started off with a difficult one tonight.
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he did, and then he went right back to it.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: And then later in his comments, he said the tough
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: one again, and then he caught him. I think you
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: could hear him catch himself like, ah.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Ah, ah. Yeah.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: It really is a crush.
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: He probably gets zapped when he does it, when he
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: says it. Also, this just came out.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: SEC has filed a lawsuit against LSU and head football
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: coach Lane Kiffin.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: I'll close with this one last thing. So we talked
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: about it a couple times yesterday. What was Palmer the
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Great's response to first day of middle school when she
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: came home yesterday?
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: She loved it.
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: She had a great time. She said there's only one
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: teacher she doesn't know if she likes.
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: We won't call that teacher out, obviously.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Let's mention the name.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Because it'll put that teacher on the right path.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: That's probably a good idea. Sort of improvement.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: Well, as Five Iron and I said, maybe you've got
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: to give her more than a day.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: Maybe more than a day to figure out if.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: You like her or not. So we know she's a female.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: We do know that. Okay.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: There you go.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Out of her six teachers. There you go. Okay. All right.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: We'll figure this mystery out.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: And then I'm going to be on your ass. Mrs. Crabtree.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: We'll call her that. That's fine. It's not her name,
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: but we'll call her that. So yeah, she had a
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: great time. She loved it. And she went back today,
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: so that's good.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, as far as I know.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: Suggestion for the song, Hangin' Tough.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Hang tough.
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: And then we have the Wahlberg connection.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh, that's true.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: That's what they said there. Yeah, it's pretty smart.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: That's a good suggestion. That's pretty smart. Yeah.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: We got options.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Ashley and I were just, doing parody songs at
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: our meeting earlier this week and trying to come up
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: with a tough one song.
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's fun.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: It's a tough one tonight.
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: I listened to Heartache Tonight 55 times.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: It's easy to see. It's a tough one tonight.
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: There you go. It's a good one.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Why didn't you throw Jim a feed? All right.
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: Poor Jimothy.
• 37:28
