• 0:16
  Speaker 1: that in common, though I won't be here. I'll be
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: elsewhere for the KRACK and Hockey Network. But good to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: have you in with a day. Andrews is running the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: afternoon show, but we got a big show. It's Tuesday. Joe,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: she and will join us. Joshian newsletter coming up here
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: in about fifteen minutes or so. Checking with Joe about
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: all things baseball. After I'd say week one, it's not
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: even week one yet, right, it's we're five days into
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the season. But we'll get Joe's thoughts. Mariners and Yankees
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: continue their series tonight. I didn't even mention this. I
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: forgot about this, and I had it written down. I apologize.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Cole Emerson has now signed a ninety five million dollar
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: deal and he hasn't played a game in the major
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: leagues yet and it's it's we'll talk to Joe a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: little bit about that coming up. Could be one of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: those great great contracts when it's all said and done,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: where it we're works out really well for the player,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: life changing guaranteed money. He probably could have made more
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: on they decide if he's really good or he has
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: life changing money and turns into Evan White. Meanwhile, if
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: he turns out to be what they think he's going
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to turn out to be, then the Mariner's probably got
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a deal, so probably win win for both sides. And
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: just I think everyone just wants to see this kid
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: in the biggs and see what he can do in
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: major league in the major leagues. But good for him.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk about all the things baseball was she
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and coming up Joshian Newsletter at one twenty John Lund
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: will join us at two and I was looking back
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get into this in just a second.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Twenty nineteen Oakland Raiders were was the final season in
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Oakland before the Raiders moved to Vegas, and I believe
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Lund was doing the pre and post game for the
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Raiders then on their network. I believe, So I think
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: he's lived through a hard knocks And I bring that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: up because Mark and I were just talking about this
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a moment ago. This is a good fun thing. We
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: can talk about it today. On the text line four nine,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: four to five one that's to come a Dodge text
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: line shop Komba Dodge Chrysler g Bram at the corner
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of thirty eighth and South to come away. The intersection
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: is savings. Mark asked me, you know, hey, what do
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: you think of of hard It'd be fine, kind of cool,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I know, like for for And I'm gonna say this,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: this is this is a quick little disclaimer. There are
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: those who do what we do, whether it's sports radio,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: sports television, sports writing, newspapers, whatever it might be, they
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: cover the team that are gonna hate it because it's
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: gonna be restrictive and there's gonna be stuff going on.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: They're gonna take over space and rooms and all that
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff, and so it's gonna be for the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: But the fan doesn't care about that. Nobody listening right
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: now cares about our inconveniences. So I'm gonna shove that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to the side. And I would just say, if you're
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a Seahawk fan, I think you got to be elated
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: or are you four nine four five one? And now
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: here's why I ask so I mentioned to Mark the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: last two, the last two teams that did it Buffalo
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: last year, Chicago two years ago, hell, the Jets three
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: years ago all fired their coaches. Now then I started
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: living a little deeper, diving to this thing, like who's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: had success? Buffalo did go to the postseason last year, right,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: but the Bills did. But then they didn't like the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: results and Victormo was out. Thanks for coming, You're gone, Bears.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: They fired Matt Eberfluss in season. The twenty twenty four
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: hard Knocks Jets were just an absolute dumpster fire and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: end of the story there. Aaron Rodgers was the focal
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: point of that Hard knocks, right, he took three snaps
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: or whatever it was, and snapped his achilles tenant out
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: for the year. Hard knocks jinks, you tell me that's
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the last three Detroit Lions twenty twenty two they were
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: nine to eight. But but how about this. They were
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: one and six to start the season. They torpedoed their
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: season in the first seven games they were one and six.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: They finished strong, just missed the playoffs, but they were
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: nin nay missed the playoffs. Cowboys are the team I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: can kind of find. That's the outlier. Mike McCarthy's twenty
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: twenty one Dallas Cowboys there were twelve and five, won
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the NFC East, but they lost in the wildcard ground. Okay,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: charging the Rams he did in twenty twenty, I'm not
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: even gonna count that because it was COVID like, it
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: just doesn't matter. Raiders. I just told you about John Gruden,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Mike Mayock, and yeah, they had Antonio Brown horror show
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: going on. If you remember that that year, that was good.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: They were seven to nine. I guess by Raiders standards,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: seven to nine is pretty good. Cleveland Brown's twenty eighteen
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: firedhead coach Hugh Jackson midway through the season. Tamiby Buccaneers
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. They were hoping to get things going. They
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: finished last in the NFC South. Twenty sixteen La Rams.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: This was one of my favorites, the Rams. None of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the amous line. In the twenty sixteen Hard Knocks from
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher, we are not going seven and nine because
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: they were always the seven and nine tem when they
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: were in Saint Louis. They just moved to LA. They
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: didn't go seven to nine, they went four and twelve.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Twenty fifteen Houston Texans they went nine to seven wildcard
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: team got shut out in the wildcard round, thirty to nothing.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Twenty fourteen Atlanta, fl Because this is one that Mark
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I think was down therefore he was working in Atlanta.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Then they were five and twelve. We keep going. Twenty
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: thirteen Bengals, they were good, eleven and five, won their division.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: But guess what they did lost in the wildcard round.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I could go on. I was more excited initially, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: then I looked at it and there is a hard
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: knocks jinks going on here that is unavoidable. It's there,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: right there in front of you. It's right there. Now,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: do we believe in Jenks's Are we superstitious in sports?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Hell?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Yes we are. That's what sports are all about, one
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: hundred percent. I don't think, like eber Flus and a
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: couple other guys, you're gonna see a coach fired in
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the middle of year. I think Mike McDonald's okay coming
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: off a Super Bowl, but it brings up even just
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: expectations for this team. The best we've seen for a
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: hard knocks team is winning a division but getting knocked
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: out in the wildcard round. The last couple of times
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that's in the last two decades is wildcard round loss.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: That won't be acceptable here. No one here is gonna
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: be happy if this team doesn't at least get to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game, right. I mean that you're coming
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: off with Super Bowl. Your your expectations are not to
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: just be a wildcard team or getting knocked out in
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the wildcard round if you don't have a buy in
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the first round. If you're at division champion, you have
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to play a game.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: No.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: But the other thing is, if you're a Seahawk fan,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you're gonna see stuff behind the scenes that you've never
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: seen before. You're gonna get a chance to see inside
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the vMac, which most people don't get a see. We
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: kind of do with the draft and coverage and everything
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: we get to do out there, but there's parts of
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the vMac we don't see. You know, I couldn't tell
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you what Schnyder's office looks like or McDonald's office looks like.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I know what meetings rooms look like, because that's what
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: we are for covering the draft upstairs like a cafeteria
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But yeah, you're gonna see you're
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: gonna get as a Seahawk fan. I think it's a
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: really cool deal because you've never had this chance. Now
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you could make a little bit of an argument like, hey,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you know what would have been kind of cool if
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: this would have happened back in the day with all
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: those personalities, although I don't know how that would have
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: worked out. There was almost too much personality. You're gonna
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: put a mic on Earl, good luck, You're gonna put
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: a mic on Sherm. God help us. Marshall's not going
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to talk to you, so that would have been worthless.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: He'll just look at you and he'll pop in, throw
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a couple f bombs out and that's it. Move along.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: The other thing is you're gonna see some guys that
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: become stars out of this, and I think that's the
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: one positive for Seattle. They're the super Bowl champions. Do
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: they have a superstar? Well, JSN I guess would kind
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: of fit that role. But he's had He's had one
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: superstar season. Devin Witherspoon's gonna be a superstar, been a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: pro bowler. I'm gonna predict right now at the top
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of the list of guys that are gonna come out
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and people are gonna go man that I like that guy.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Devin Witherspoon. He never stops talking. It's funny because his
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: interviews are kind of eh so so, like when you
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: put him on a podium or even just do an
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: interview with him, he's yeah, he's okay. But when we
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: go out especially that so much training camp because it's
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: loud and there's fans and all that. When we're out
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: there like for mini camps and on the sideline up close,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Witherspoon is shrm like he never In fact,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: he might be worse. He's always talking. That guy has
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: a bravado. He's got a personality, he's got a swagger.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I love it. That's what you want from a dB.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a star of this. Jsn's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: gonna come across as exactly who he is. One of
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the nicest guys. I'm just polite, mellow, nice, unassuming superstars
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: are gonna find. I'm sure they'll focus in on Darnold,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: who's pretty cool, nice, but he's mellow, big personality wise,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: outside of spoon. I mean, they'll probably be around Julian
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Love a little bit. I would think some of the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: D Line Ernest Jones is a guy you want to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: have a mic on. I think Ernest Jones for sure,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: D Line Shenna or DeMarcus Lawrence. Yeah, Murphy probably want.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you'll go down the Murphy road.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I think Gray Zabel could be a candidate to be
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: a star in this thing. I think, just the redneck
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman from North Dakota that's just sitting there smashing
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: bush lights and doing his thing, he could be a
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: massive personality in this Yeah, it'll be it'll be interesting
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to see. Like I think it'll be fun. It'll be fun.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: But there is a cause for concern because the track
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: record tells you that teams are on hard knocks don't
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: do well.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, up until last season, the NFL didn't allow
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: playoff teams.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Right, they just switched the rules. I don't know if
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you were probably coming doing the little transition. MJ had
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: an interesting theory. I'm buying into it, even if it's
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: not true. I like I like the theory. I like
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the theory a lot, he says. I wonder if this
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: was a compromise. If the NFL wanted the Seahawks to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: open the season in Australia and they said, we're the champs,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you guys can pound sand compromises, you'll do hard knocks instead.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Like I wonder if that's because no team's ever come
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: off a Super Bowl and done this. I know they
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: changed the rules, but it was just playoffs before that.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: So to have your Super Bowl champion doing it is interesting.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Schneider could be a star in this thing. Schneider could
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: be an absolute flat out star. If he's Schneider, if
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: he's who he normally is, people, he's going to be
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the Dan Campbell of executives because where Dan Campbell's public
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: persona and help people love Dan Campbell now because he
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: just you know, I brought this kick some ass off
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: like and just football guy and then can coach like
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Dan Campbell can flat out coach. Schneider is just everyday dude,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: like gonna have a pine of Mannies and just kick
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: back and do my thing and all that. That's who
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Schneider is and very relatable for the average person. And
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: if he if they portray him like who and what
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: he is everyday man who will, by the way, is
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the best GM in the NFL. Well, it's pretty good.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: We kind of got a taste of that at the parade.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: More than a taste, more than a taste. Hey, King TV,
• 11:28

• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Josh and Josian Newsletter Joe Shean dot com. Go check
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: it out. If you're a baseball fan. If you're listening
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: right now, you probably are. Our baseball team now is
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: played five games out of one hundred and sixty two,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: so we can make some sweeping judgments of what's going
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: on right now in baseball. Hi, Joe, how are you goody?
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: And what's going on? Man?
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Well, what kind of sweeping judgments can we make after
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: five games? What can we How can we overreact, Joe?
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: How can we overreact today?
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: Let me give you one stat. Fifty seven strikeouts eleven walks.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: That's the pitching staff. That's what the pitching staff is
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: done this year. Five to one strikeouts to walk rt year.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: One of the reasons I had the Narritors being so
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: successful this year is because I did love the pitching staff.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: They've showed out. You know, you get a few runs
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: here and there, but that baseline number fifty seven to
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: eleven strike outs a walk, that's the thing you want
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: to look at earlier.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: This is I.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Don't know if we I don't think we got a
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: chance last week to talk about it, and I wanted
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to get to this with you and for those who
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: don't know, Joe started doing this type of work in
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Joshian newsletter. But just the baseball perspectus and all that,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: like just years ago, at the kind of the at
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the forefront, Joe, I say, this is all due respect
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and endearing qualities that I can baseball. Joe is one
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: of the original baseball nerds, and that's why we love them,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: but you have a bigger perspective than some are. Your
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: writing's fantastic. That's why we have you on. I use
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that for this reason. I love your opinions on bigger
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: picture things in baseball. Let me start with ABS and
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the challenge system and what we've seen so far. I
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: know C. B. Buckner probably doesn't like it, but what
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: do you think?
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't got to say. I really don't care
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: what the empires think. Do better or to be more pippy.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: That's what the money is for. But these guys kind
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: of throwing tantrums all the fact that their calls are
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: getting overturned. You know that's not a strike. What matters
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: is whether the pictures in the strike zone not what
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: you thought about it, and just kind of see change
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: in how we evaluate and what we call a strike
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: at a ball. I think is one of the best
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: things going for baseball. So the fact that the umpires
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: are getting embarrassed.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Do better, it's really how I feel out it.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: The fact of the matter is ABS, and I prefer
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: pull abs. But the challenge system is at least a
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: half measure. It's going to make the game better because
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: it's going to even out the fat the fight between
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: pitchers and hitters, and you know, catchers are getting a
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: lot of overturnings.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: But I want to take a step back.
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: And just think about what it means when a pitcher
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: and a catcher can't say we're going to throw this
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: pitch two and a half inches outside and either the
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: empire is going to call it a strike or the
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: hitters is gonna have to flail at it because it
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: thinks the umpire is going to call it a strike.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: For all of the focus on the pitches that are
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: and I don't know how much baseball you watch this weekend,
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: but every time the ABS comes up, we'll see this
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: graphic that shows whether the pitch was, you know, a
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: quarter inch inside or a quarter inch outside of the
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: strike zone. But the more important pitches are the ones
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: two to two and a half inches outside of the
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: strike zone that are definitely going to be called balls.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Now I agree with yeah, No, I'm quite a bit
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and I agree with you. I think one of the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: things that and I think we've talked about this before,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a harder thing to officiate
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: in sports than balls and strikes at times, especially as
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: you mentioned you know, like we're talking inchest sometimes an
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: inch or two, and the balls moving and you know,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: coming into a velocity that we, you know, consist of
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: velocity we haven't seen before. I'm a hockey guy. I
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: think off sides in hockey, where's the plot, there's the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: blue line, where's the skate? I mean instant? And I'm
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: always amazed. I think NHL line has been get it
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: right about ninety five percent. It's amazing how often they're
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: They're right. Hard to do umpires aren't nearly that accurate.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what else in sports is even comparable
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: to those two things that are kind of so in
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: a sense black and white. Do you think that this
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: year will pave the way for ABS because full time ABS,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I should say, because it kind of feels like we're
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: leading that way.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: I don't, and we're we're a week ind of this experiment.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: But I do think there are a couple of motivations.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: One is that the players don't want full ABS. Some
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: of that is pictures. You still want to be able
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: to exploit the system. Some of that is this idea
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: that framing is something you want to keep in the game,
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: and you don't want me to go into that discussion today.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: But there are a lot of catchers who have their
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: jobs because they can move their gloves from here to
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: here and get a strike called. So there's a lot
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: of invest in people invested in not having full abs.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: There's also an idea through testing in the minor leagues
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: over the last few years that fans really preferred this
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: this way. There's that moment of looking at the scoreboard
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: because what we all want to do is a ballpark
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: is look at more screams and looking at the scoreboard
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: and go, oh, it's a strike or oh it's a ball.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: So I think there's going to be a lot of
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: inertia once the system is in place, to keep it
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: in place rather than going to full abs. Now we
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: don't know what's ahead of us. You know, the two
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: challenge women, I think eventually will become a problem. You're
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: going to have a big game decided when a team
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: doesn't have challenges, and the empire will I forget what
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: the gentleman was to call the pitch in the WBC,
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: you will call, you know, end the game on a
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: third strike that has no business being a third strike,
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: and the team will have a recourse. I think that's
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: going to move the needle. I'm certain that happened in
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: the minor league. But here's the thing, nobody cares or
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: league games are basically there to develop players and have
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: a good time at a ballpark. Nobody's sitting there caring
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: about whether in the next day do you ever remember.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Who won the game? If you went, no, you remember
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: I had a good time.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: But the score of the game was a very small
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: part of that. In the majors, that's much different. And
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: when games get decided because of a bad call and
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: a team being out of challenges, I think that's going
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: to be We're going to see some change to the system.
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: And there it's increasing challenges.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: Whether it's a.
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: Free one in the ninth then they don't know what
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: to look like. But I think that's more likely to
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: change as opposed to just saying, oh, we're going to
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: go full adas.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think our afternoon guys were talking about it yesterday.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: That's why I brought it up with you, because you know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: they brought up the you know where it was it
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: to now if you're successfully you keep it and all
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: that type of thing.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Hell, the Yankees use it a bunch of times in
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a role last night. It's funny because every time they
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: use it, they never get a hit afterwards, Like it
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: was like you got you got a couple of extra pitches,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: but that was it. But I get, you know, but
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: they were using it to their advantage, which is good.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: You know, if you're wrong, you're wrong, I'm with you.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it's like timeouts in basketball or something.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: You get to extra innings, you get another challenge, or
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you get to the ninth didning and getnother change. There's
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: got to be a better way because two doesn't seem
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: like enough, especially Joe. Honestly, it doesn't take time at all,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Like it's not like it's like now we have changed
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: this a little bit with the pitch clock, but you know,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: it wasn't too long ago, what three four years ago, Joe,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: we'd be talking about the fact that, you know, every pitch,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: a guy's out of the box, he's readjusting all seventeen
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: things of protective gear, and it's thirty five forty fifty
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: seconds between pitches. The abs happens in what ten to
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: fifteen seconds max.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: Appreciate that because when I'm sitting down and writing a call,
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: and I'm scratching and get out there and adjusting. Come on,
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: that's just me.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: That is me, Not after every sentence, Not after every sentence, Joe.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: No, there are days no I will say that. You know,
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: the system, I think one of the big benefits off them.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: And I got a lot of this over the winter.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: Oh it's going to slow the game down, and it
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: really doesn't.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: You know, if you have.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: Ten challenges in a game, which is not an unreasonable number,
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: you might be adding two minutes. You know, you're just
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: not adding a whole lot of time. But it is quick,
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: it is seamless. I think that's the least of the objection.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: And if baseball games were to go from two thirty
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: five to two forty, but we've eliminated those two strikes
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: two which is off the zone.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: I am more than happy to make that trade off.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: I have no issues with that at all.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: Time is the least of the problems.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Here, Yeah, no, I would I definitely agree. Joe Shean
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: joining us Joshian Newsletter Joshian dot com. Let's kind of
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: look around baseball a little bit, and you mentioned Seattle
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: with the pitching staff has done so far, Yeah, it's
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: been outstanding all They got through the first rotation for
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the first time, all five guys, including Emerson Hancock. I
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: think they had four out of the five guys had
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: what we would call the quality starts. I don't know
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: if Joe likes that stat or not, but those were there.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I think the one guy that didn't was Gilbert opening day.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: He went five and a third and probably could have
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: gone longer, but they did take him out, but he
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: still was good. That's Seattle rotation, Joe. We've talked about
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: rotations a lot, especially when guys aren't hitting, and we'll
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: get to those guys in a second. Does that rotation
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: look as good as it has for you in the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: last couple of years?
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: Hey, my bay is the shallow I mean ever, say, hey,
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: talk was great the other day, but we've got a
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: couple of years of exposure to him now and he's
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: might be like more of a six or seven. They've
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: got to get Bryce Miller, who has apparently the oblique
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: injury some help. Got to get him back on the
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: now because he looked so good at the end of
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: the last year in the playoffs. You'd like to see
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: that guy show up. You know Logan Evans out of
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: the year. You look at the seventh starter, maybe like
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: a Cooper Chris Well. I think Mark le Gonzalez. I mean,
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: it gets really ugly in a heart. There's a prospect
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: in double A and will say Morales.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: He might be.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: He's really the only prospect that has any chance or
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: the reach of the majors this year. So I think
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: he gets to July, you get to August, you go
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: into the trade market.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: Maybe Phil a dead.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: But I would say that the one thing I'm most
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: worried about with this team is an injury stack in
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: the rotation that they're just not equipped to deal with.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: They have plenty of hitters to go around, but the injury,
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: but the pitching staffer is a little bit. The starters
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: anywhere a little bit.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Then he I know, it's the quote unquote, it's early.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Sean Fagins told us that years ago. It's early. Shut up,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: leave me alone. It's early. But I got to be
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: honest with you, old for nine team for Josh Naylor
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: has my attention, and I'm sure he'll get it going
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: at some point. But instead of like, okay, I won't
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: look at the on nineteen because I don't want you
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: to yell at me, Joe, but can I ask you this,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: what is a reasonable expectation for Josh Naylor this year
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: for an entire season?
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: This is two seventy five to two eighty hitter, not
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: a huge walk sky, but enough to you know, three
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: thirty three forty obp. The home run power is coming
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: gone with him. He's really more of a doubles type
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: pinner and obviously that park isn't going to help with that.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: I think you're looking at to use the statistical term
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: w RC plus Wayne runs created plus.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: You can find it in fanagraphs.
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: I think he's a one to ten one fifteen hitter,
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: ten to fifteen percent above league average.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: It's a decent first station. But they're not paying a
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: ton of money for that.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: That deal was five years, but only was eighteen million
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: a year. So as long as he's a two win player,
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: he's basically breaking even and a on a team that
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: doesn't need him to be Freddy Freedman, that doesn't need
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: him to be Matt Olsen. He's, you know, the third
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: best hitter on the team, maybe the fourth one that
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: comes to the end of the year. I think that's
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: a really good player for them.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I like he'll get going. You know, he'll
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: get going. We're off to another Julio slow start one
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: for nineteen to start the year with eight strikeouts. That's
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: death taxes and Julio in April, Jie.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: I meant to ask Jess to just pull up some
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: of the old clips, some of the old tape, so
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: I would have to just push a button and you
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: can just run it back from twenty twenty three and
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: twenty four and twenty five.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Imagine what he would do over one hundred and sixty
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: two games sometime. But listen, he did have a big
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: hit the the name.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: One of these years, one of the years will have
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: a big first half and.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: He'll go on to win the MVP.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: But for right now, Hulorrigaz is going to be fine.
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: It's better than cats.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: I want to see it again and again.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me about the team they're seeing this week,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the New York Yankees. They just go and just absolutely
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: annihilate the Giants in three games. They come here and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: they only muster the one run last night. But what
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: are the Yankees all about this year? Yeah?
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: I think it's fascinating because I don't know that I've
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: seen a team other than maybe some recent Philly teams
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: that's brought back so much of last year's team. Everybody
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: who played for them in the playoffs last year is
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: still in the organization now. Anthony voted on the Il
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: Jackson Jason Vimingez is back in the runners. But they're
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: running it back completely. They retained Grisham, they resigned Bellinger,
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: they went out and resigned Paul Goldschmid. It's a crazy
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: thing now that they did win ninety four games last year.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: They had the best trick of the American League. So
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: you argue, Okay, this is not the.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: Worst thing in the world to running back this roster.
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: It's a very strange approach to things. It's still a
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: very good team. Certainly some age concerns. You know, Aaron
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: Judge thirty four and still going strong. Yeah, maybe he's
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: that guy. Maybe he's Hank Ammon and he's just not
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: going to decline until his late thirties. But John Corlis
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: Stanton will play ninety games and he'll slug a lot
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: in those ninety games. I worried about Grisham and center.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: He definitely lost his step last year. I think defensive
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: Bret this team back. It was a step.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: We'll see if they get voting back.
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: They've got the old Mariner Jose Cavierra currently playing shortstop
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: to them, They're going to get better if the year
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: goes on. Colos rendonand should be back in the day
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: Garrett Cole right around there, June. That rotation is incredibly deep.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: You know, they Louise heel Is in the minors start
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: the year, they've got camp shoulder. It probably gets pumped
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: eventually when those guys come back. So I think that's
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: the real strength of this team. Whereas other teams are
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: going to be looking around for starting pitching. You can
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: already go about seven or eight.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Pet Joshi and join us Joshian Newsler. You guys rankings
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: up at Jochian dot com. At no surprise, you get
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers at number one, and you know, through the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: first four games at three and one. But just there's
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: so much talk about the Dodgers and baseball and can
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: anybody even hang with them? Joe, you've got them one,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: But I know you look at a lot deeper differently
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: than a lot of people. How good are the Dodgers?
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Are they historically good on paper? What is this team?
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, are they really true? Like if you're just
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: setting odds, are they such an overwhelming favorite anybody else
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: would be a surprise if they were to win the
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: World Series this year?
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: No, just because that's how the way baseball is. Because
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: when you've got to play three best of series against
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: comparably good teams, you're just.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: Never going to be that large a favorite.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: If you make the Dodgers a seventy five percent favorite
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: all their postseason series, they do a little math there
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: that would make them about a three to one, about
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: a two to one underdog to actually the World Series.
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: Just the nature of baseball, and we've see it through
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: years and years under this format.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: The point I want to make about the Dodgers is
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: that you know they their goal is not to win
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: one hundred.
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: And twenty games, because you don't have to anymore. I
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: would love to see a scenario, you know, he's the
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: career league, and the championship went to the team with
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: the best record, and you said to win.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: More games than everybody else.
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: I would love to see what this Dodgers team could
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: do in that context. But they don't have to, right,
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: so they're gonna make sure everybody's healthy and arrested and
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: ready to go on October first, because that's all they
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: have to do. If that means winning ninety seven games
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: because the Diamondbacks went ninety six, that means winning ninety
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: three because the Diamondbacks win ninety two, They're gonna win
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: just enough games to make sure that they're set to
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: the playoffs.
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: And you know, how can you argue with this? The
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Dodgers would always go out.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: And win one hundred and five games and lose in
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: the playoffs. Not that those things are connected, but they
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: would win one hundred and five games and nobody would
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: care because they lost in the playoffs. But the last
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: couple of years, this is how they've done it, and
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: they've won the World Series, and people are a lot
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: happier with that. So I don't think you can argue
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: with the approach that they're taking given the Successify.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: That, Josh and Jonas before I let you go last
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: year's ALCS opponent for the Mariners that wins the American
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: League and goes and plays the Dodgers in the World Series,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jays. You've got him ranked as the
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: fourteenth team in your team rankings. Whether it be the
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Baschette departure or whatever. Walk me through why you think
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: there's a little slippage in Toronto this year.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: A lot of their.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: Success last year was Predicatlin guys, particularly the bench, who
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: had years they've never had before and are unlikely to repeat.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: Miles Straw was a two win player, Tyler Hyneman was
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: a two win player, Ernie Clement was a four win player.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: They just had a lot of performances I don't expect
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: to repeat. George Springer had kind of a dead cat
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: bout season and I just don't think he can do
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: another five win season. So kind of just go through
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: the roster saying who's actually going to be better this year?
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: And I'm just not seeing it. I love the Dylanc signing.
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: I think it helps him a lot, but even at that,
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: it's a relatively thin taking. Cody Poncek got hurt last night.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: That was awful to see. The kid they brought back
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: from the KBO to talk him out in the rotation.
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: I don't like the bullpen at all, and that Bothen
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: nearly killed them last year, but I think that's gonna.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: Be a problem for them too. So you throw it
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: all in the mix.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: The fact that they play an A league schedule, which
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: is the most difficult schedule in baseball, and I've got
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: them missing the playoffs, but in that range where you
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: know you win some extra to you the one run gage.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: Last year they were ten and four in extra endings
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: and that's why they won the division.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: So in regulation they were actually the third best team
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: in that division.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: That matters a lot when I go into I do
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: my numbers.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: I'll wrap it up with this. Manners signed Colt Emerson,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: their young shortstop who's not playing the major leagues yet,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: but they signed him today to an eight year, ninety
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: five million dollar extension. Feels like one of those things
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: that it could be great, maybe a win win for
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: both sides. The player gets, you know, guaranteed life changing
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: money the team if he's if the guy ends up
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: being seventy five percent of what they think he's going
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: to be, probably a steal in a couple of years.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: You saw that today, I'm sure what do you think
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: when you saw that number?
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: It is extremely hard for the team to lose on
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: these deals. And he had the possibility that Colt Emerson
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: goes to zero. Scott Keenery did John Singleton did. Some
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: of the early players assigned deals like this, But you know,
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: even then, the team's only out a fairly small amount
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: of money all the time, and it's obviously the player
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: walks up like pretty much a lifetime of security.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: You get ninety million dollars at.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: Age twenty, and it's very hard to blow that.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: So I think it's a good deal for col Emerson.
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: I think it's a good deal for the Mariners, and
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: I think it underlined some of the problems we have
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: in baseball with young players not able to get paid
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: for their performance until they're five six years into their career.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: So that's a larger issue. But as far as I
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: think for the marriage is a good deal. My thing me,
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: I was telling you three weeks ago, My problem isn't
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: paying Colt Emerson. My PLoP problem is playing Colt Emerson. Yeah,
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: get him up and get him onto the field.
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I mean we're watching Donovan struggle at third base,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: for example, and I mean there's a lot of the infield.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Is what it is. I would say, as as you
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: mentioned that, good for Seattle in a sense and good
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: for the for the young man in a sense. To
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: get this deal done, because you're right if in baseball
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: you're waiting till you're twenty eight years old most of
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the time to actually get paid, like like you're worth right,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: like you get maybe that one contract, and it's just
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: it's the hardest, it's the hardest of sports to become
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: a free agent and make free agent money and life
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: changing money. And so it's good. Hopefully I don't think
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: it'll turn out Evan White like, but even Evan White
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: was only twenty four million, and that obviously I forgot
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: about that one. Yeah, yeah, well, gotta go glove though,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: had a go glove during a COVID year, had a
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: gold glove. Joe tell people that Joe shean newsletter for

• 32:45
  Speaker 1: are you not sure?
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Am?
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: You probably produced a lot of games involving the Edvonton
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Oilers over the last couple of years and the Seattle Kraken.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Actually this's my first year. Oh then this is the
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: first Well, good you know what. You haven't had her
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: suffered through thirteen losses to the Oilers in their history.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: This is a team the Kraken have not had success against.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Four thirteen and one since they joined the league in
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one to twenty two season for the Crack,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: and it's the second worst record against any opponent than
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: the worst one is actually Dallas. But here's the good news.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: This is the glass half full part. The krakens worst
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: record against an opponent was Tampa Bay until last week
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: when they got that win, So you never know. They
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: basically do the Krack can control their own destiny. It's
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: as simple as that. They've got games in hand on
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the teams ahead of them. Six of the final ten
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: games are against teams currently in a playoff spot, including
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Edmonton Tonight. They're on their way for their seventh straight
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: playoff appearance. Along the way, but rest a shirt. It's
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: up to Seattle. This isn't where I mean, you're gonna
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: do scoreboard watching and all that. We'll do it tonight.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: You guys will do it on the radio. Mikey'll be
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: doing it the whole night long. Got a scoreboard update.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: I'll be doing the same thing on TV. But if
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: this team is going to get in the playoffs, they
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: control their own destiny and they need to get things
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: going here. In the final ten of the year. As
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: long as they don't go to a shootout most of
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: the time they're pretty good. One in six and Shootoutsay
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: season the Kraken again, a little bit of good news.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Edmonton hasn't won a shoot out this year. Now they're
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: only had three, but they're ow and three on those shootouts,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: say season only and Drycidle, he's still hurt, but other
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: guys are good. Nujian, Hopkins, Smickdavid et cetera. All there,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: So five point thirty pre game tonight, six o'clock drop
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: of the puck right here in your home for the
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: krack at nine three point three kjr FM. All right,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: let me switch over real quick before we get to
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: the top of the ur. John Loune's gonna jo us
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: in just a couple of minutes. We'll check in with
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: him about all things football. I brought this up earlier.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I know we'll get some good texts in four nine,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: four to five to one. In regards to the Hard
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Knocks situation and what you want to see, I asked
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: you first of all, you good with it. I think
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: every fan is gonna be excited about this, except for
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the Hard Knocks jinks. We went through all the teams,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: and the fact that at the end of the day,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: this has not been a good success story for teams
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: that participate in hard knocks. In fact, it's been the
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: opposite of a success story. It's been kind of a
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: nightmare along the way. A couple teams have won division
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: titles in the last two decades doing hard knocks Dallas
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. No one has got out of the first round.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Multiple teams have fired their coach midseason. That won't happen
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: here with Mike McDonald. But you get the point. But
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: you get the point. It's a little bit of a
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: risk and I'm kind of going down the road again
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: of what MJ was saying. I'm not so sure there
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: was a little give and take. I know there have
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: been a push for them to do it at some
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: point during the Pete Carroll era, and there's some reports
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: out there that the Seahawks turned it down. I don't
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: know if you can actually turn it down, I don't
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure none of us really know the inner
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: workings of the league that well. I don't know if
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: you can say no. MJ's theory is that the Seahawks
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: were told they wanted them to play in Australia, and
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: they said that's not going to happen. We're the champs.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: We're going to do what we want to do, and
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: instead the compromise of Hard Knocks. I like that conspiracy
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: theory probably not true, but I like it. I think
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: it's fun to discuss. This team will have some stars
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: come out. So I don't we asked the question earlier,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: We'll ask it again. We'll get the text coming up
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: bottom of the hour at two thirty. Who or what
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: do you want to see in Hard Knocks? Who do
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: you think is going to be the star? What do
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: you want to see? Who do you think is going
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: to just jump off the page? I gave you a couple.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I think Zabel, I think Witherspoon like those two guys.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: If they focus in on those guys, I think Ernest
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Jones could come across as a re likable guy, really
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: good talker. He's got a great story. It's a great story.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of those guys. Rashid Shiheed's
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: got the million dollar smile. You know he could do it.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I think JSN is just such a mellow dude. I'm
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: they have to focus in on him. Because of the
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: year he had last season. You would think highest paid
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: receiver in the game right now, and All Pro and
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: all the things he did last year. He's just he's
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: kind of he's kind of a humble, just mellow dude.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Like doesn't always translate to TV. You kind of want
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: big and you want loud. I mean the old Seahawks
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: you could have there would have been a zillion of
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: those guys to do that with. This team has enough guys.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: This teams I would say, probably more likable in a
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: lot of ways, kind of top to bottom. DeMarcus Lawrence
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: is a likable guy. Jared Reid a guy I didn't
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: mention earlier. I think, I think you want to you
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: want the alpha dog. You want the alpha dog, you
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: want the dude. Jared reads that guy like Jared reads
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: that dude. We've we've heard him on I've had him
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: on my show four or five times in the last year.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: And and that guy runs the show. He runs the
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: locker room. In a lot of ways, you getting, especially
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: in the hard knocks, where it doesn't matter if you
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: swear a little bit. That's okay, because Jaren is about
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: as raw as it gets. We're always nervous sometimes we
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: have him on live radio. But but I think he'd
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: be out there too. Actually the other guy was thinking
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: about too. I mean there's a couple of guys that
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Zabel would Zabel would be there. Like Zabel for sure,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: I think would be there. But anybody that jumps out
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: at you that you kind of just want to see.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: These guys, I mean you you named all the ones
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: I think that are going to be real good on
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: on the on the screen. Yeah, but do you think
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: that are are Is there a coach in the league
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: or a GM in the league that's like, yes, we're
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: gonna be.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: On hard Knocks. I don't think anybody wants part. I
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: think I don't. I don't think anybody wants a part
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: of it. I mean, it's it's great television. It's fun TV.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: A J.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Barn Is another guy by the way, Uh yeah, aj
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: aj as a treat I think No, I don't think so.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: I don't. Just going through the if you missed the
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: first segment, we went through the list of the last
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: two decades, and it's largely a disaster for teams to
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: do hard knocks, like a big time disaster. Coaches like
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: three times in the last what six years, coaches got
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: fired mid season or after the season. So yeah, it's
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: it's I think there's a lot of guys probably want
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: no part of it, and you don't want the distractions.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: I think that's the other thing I don't think. I
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: think this is the distraction having to deal with it
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: from an organization standpoint, how we're big that and I think,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: like I said, we'll talk to Undo the minut I'm
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: pretty sure he was around with Atlanta or when the
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Raiders did it the last year in Oakland, so we'll
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: talk to him about that. That plus the great comments
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: from Kyle Shanahan about not wanting to go to Australia.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: God bless you, Kyle Shanahan. We love you for that.
• 39:13

  Speaker 3: opinion of them. John takes you through the Bay Area,

• 41:39
  Speaker 1: time did I talk to him earlier?
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Today?
• 41:41
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Eleven fourteen am? Just confirming today? Yeah, for sure. Got
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: a funny story about a call from a Seattle Sunday
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: got a call from Seattle Sunday doing his national show
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: from a Mariner security guy. Great, we'll talk to you then. Okay,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: calling about six minutes. Got a great guy filling in
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: today for Jessmon. Don't screw up, don't make it hard
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: on him, please answer. Three minute warning. Still nothing. He's
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: also got the red receipts on his messages. Do you
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: have those? Like I got rid of those cause you know,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: you know you got these? So he hasn't he like,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: So you know what we're gonna do. This is what
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do. We're gonna call him on the air. Here,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I'll turn them my mic over here, I'll put them
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: on speaker phone. See if what happens here, See if
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: he actually answers. He probably won't because he's just a moron,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: but we'll try anyway. Okay, I think I think the
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: guy literally takes a nap.
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: Let's see.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Here we go, let's see. Now, get the dump button
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: ready just in case I'm ready. He won't answer two.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: So he hasn't hit He hasn't sent it right to voicemail.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: That's a good thing. Like he doesn't have a life,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: So I'm not sure what he's doing. This is great radio.
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: By themail, the person you're trying to reach is not available.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: I figured that. I figured that part out. When you
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: have finished recording, you may hang up. Okay, I gonna
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: hang up. Hey, John lund Ian Farnas ninety three point
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: three KJRFM in Seattle, Washington. I would say, you're live
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: on the air, but this is your voicemail. Remember you
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: were going to talk to us at two o'clock today,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: that thing you confirmed at eleven fourteen. Feel free to
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: give us a shout er. We'll try to call you back. Thanks, buddy.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: What an idiot, just a moron. You know we all
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: have those friends, right we've known for a zillionaires. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: he's my guy. I don't know how he gets through life.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure how he ties his shoes. I'm not
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: sure what he does along the way. But there we
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: are with John Linn. Okay, we can pivot a little bit.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: We'll wait for him to call back, or maybe just
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: give another shout here in a second mogan and see
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: if he's there. I did mention this early with Joe Shean,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: And this is where baseball guy gets very upset. Sometimes
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: we start going down these different precarious roads, and those
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: roads would include the following. It's early. You can't make
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: too much of a judgment things like that. Josh Naylor
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: is over nineteen. Uh, he does have three walks and
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: only four strikeouts. But the struggle is real. Julio also
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: a slow start. Those are bad. That's the bad news.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: The good news is good news is you're three and two.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: That's the good news. Do you have them?
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: Is he called?
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: No?
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah, I thought you were talking to somebody there.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Still try Okay, that's fine.
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Is there a concern?
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: I think the Naylor concern could be legit. I think
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: that the Julio concern every year. I think Joe Shean
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: nailed it when he said, imagine if this guy did this,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: you know, like, actually had a full season and cranked
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: it up and actually played in April. It's I think
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: someone said the other day, and I don't know if
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: this is true, that the pressure he puts on himself
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: is overwhelming. Wholio that is. But yet you look at
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: some of the times he's come through clutch later in
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: the year and you ask yourself, why why is that
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: slow start there? Why isather? I don't it can't be
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Weather because look at okay, not snap on you, but like,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: look at what happened already, Ryan Heal or what's his face?
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Luke Rayley. Luke Rayley's already hitting bombs. Cole Young's hitting bombs.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Other guys are hitting bombs? Like how are these guys
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: doing it? And I'm nitpicking here because I think what
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Joe said hit me a little bit cause I hadn't
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: thought of it. The pitching depth is a little bit scary.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: You're probably not going to get through all the whole
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: year with those four plus five guys with Emerson Hancock.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: If you do, great, awesome, fantastic, but it might be
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: hard to do. It might be hard to do. So
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: you've got to get your offense going at some point.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Cal coming through last night was a I think that's
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: like one of those nice little signs to be okay,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: all right, I see you, Cal, You've been struggling early,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: but you get that hit, You get that big base hit,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: and there was no question about it. Ripped it down
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: the first baseline. But you need more because you can't
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: rely on Cole Young Young necessarily all season. Brendan Donovan
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: has been a revelation in terms of hitting amazing. The
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: defense has been suspect at best. At best, the defense
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: has been suspect. But seeing kl get that hit, maybe
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: that gets him going and maybe that was the right move.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: A lot of people were criticizing Wilson last night. It's like,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: why did he sit out Sunday? Why didn't play him
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: the first game of the Yankee series? And at the
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: end of the day he ends up playing. Anyway, comes
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: in and it has a big hits and hits the
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: clutch hits at the end. It was fantastic. So I
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: think all those things come in. But yeah, what Joe
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: said earlier, this is still a division you can probably
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: almost run away with. It's the next step with as
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: good as the AL East is, especially if last years
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: a LCS team in Toronto isn't going to be nearly
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: as good as they were. If that's a team that's
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: going to struggle, if that's a team that's going to
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: find a way, you know that's not going to be
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: the same team. You still have the other teams in
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: the East, Yankees top of the list that are going
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: to be a problem. Boston could be a problem in
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: your division. Maybe Texas doesn't feel like Houston will be
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: a problem along the way. All those things kind of
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: cruise along, all right, So four nine four five one,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: that is to coma dodge text line four nine four
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: to five one to commadautche text line, don't forget you
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: can shop to coma dodge. Chrysl gee Rahm at the
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: corner of thirty eighth in south to come away the
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: intersection of savings. All right, No Lund, still, no Lund.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: We're still waiting on him. Still, no Lend still no.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Andrews came in before I. What did Andrews tell you?
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: He said he might be a little flaky, probably understatement.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Probably it's probably a good way to look at It's
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: probably good way to look at one thing I didn't
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: get to. And I can touch it on this because
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: I got some friends that are losing their minds over
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: this one right now. Mark Few was named the Naysmith
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: College Hall of Fame today, and I don't know if
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: it was actually official yet, but it's it's out there.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Our guys, nor Lander and Parish have got that story.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: One of six inductees and in the Naysmith College Basketball
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, or call in the A. Smith Hall
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: of Fame, and the Naysmith Hall of Fame, by the way,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: isn't just college basketball. It's all basketball. And it's weird
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: with basketball in the sense that guys get they get
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: knocked in before they're retired, before they're done. As far
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: as coaches are concerned, I know some people are already
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: pissed off about this. How is he in there? Listen.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: I am not a fan of the guy at all,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: but you have to respect what he has done. The
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: other class members include Amri Stodommeyer, doc rivers Kandas Parker,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: and Alana Della don. But he has been there over
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: three decades. They have made the basketball. They have made
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: the tournament every single season he has been there. It's
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest brands in all of sports. Is
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Gonzaga basketball. Forty four league titles, seven to seventy three
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: and one fifty six record in his career. He's a
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, to final four, our two state national
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: championship games. I don't think you have to win a
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: championship to get in. I am a little surprised that
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: Kelvin Samson isn't in yet. I think that's the one
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: that That's the only thing I would push back on
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: with Few, who's younger by a little bit, I think,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: like ten years or so, then Kelvin Samson, I would
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: push back that. I think Kelvin should be there. His
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: accomplishments are very comparable. He's done it with other programs.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Kelvin also had the blemish on his record of getting
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: in CUAA reprimands as well along the way, so maybe
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: that's part of it too. But Mark Few getting into
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame not surprised and painful as this
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: is to admit, probably well deserved as well for Mark
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Fiume in there. And I don't know, does a Mario
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Stodamyer scream hall of Fame? I don't. I don't think so.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: But that's the easiest of the hall of Fame to
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: get into. All right, here'll do. We'll take a break.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: We'll come back if we can see if we can
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: track down lined. If not, when we come back, we'll
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: check into some text and hit on some other topics
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: of the day. At four nine, four or five one
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: on the coma Dodge text line asking talking a lot
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: today about the Hard Knocks situation and what you got
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: going on there? If you like it, what are you
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: looking forward to what are your thoughts? Are you worried
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: about it? Because the Hard Knocks jinks We went through
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: that earlier four nine four or five one, So we'll
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: get those texts. We'll check in hopefully with the lines
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: coming up next nine three point three KFM, some good text.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: London is probably already on his way to Australia. Yeah,
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: maybe could be. Maybe I wanted our buddy Nick Allen
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: shout out to Nick, huge listener, sent a text and
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: I like this text from me because I think there
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: is a little something here you could do with with
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: this opportunity to be front and center and at the
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: focal point of the football and sports you know, in
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: August when really, I mean hard Knocks can be a
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: big deal. Nick writes, as follows in and I wouldn't
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: mind learning some more about the new version of the Seahawks,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: and hard Knock should be fun. But I want to
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: see is a massive All Caps push devote Mike Holmgan
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame from the vMac practice, shirts, hats, conversations, whatever. Thanks.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: That's Nick Allen the Hall of Fame, And I hadn't
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: thought of it for a while. With Mike, I think
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: with the way that Belichick got handled this season, that
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: we're still two years. I mean, I assume Belichick's got
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: to get in next year, has to despite all the
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: craziness he's got going on in his personal life and
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: everything else. You would assume he's in next season or
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: next this next go round, a year from now. But
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: with Mike, yeah, you probably could see something like that.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: And then I'm thinking to myself as I see the
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: pushback on Mark feu getting to the Hall of Fame
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: when I brought that story up from people out here.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Every hall of Fame is different, like every one of
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fames is different in terms of how
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: hard it is to get into. I think we all believe.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: I think it's pretty safe to say that the Natesmith
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame is the easiest of all of them
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: to get into. Now it also includes not just pros
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: but college and not just men but women. As seeing
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: this year there's two women going in, and obviously college
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: coach and few and everything else. College, Nay Smith feels easy.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: NFL feels maybe the most difficult and challenging to get into,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: especially with the rules for coaches and builders and administrators
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: and owners of the non player side, hockey is I
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: would say hockey is right in the middle. I think,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: for the most part, the guys that get into the
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Hockey Hall of Fame and women men and women, because
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: women get in out too as well. I saw that
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: this year with Jason Bottrell, the GM for the Crack
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: and his sister Jennifer got in and well deserved. One
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: of the most decorated international players ever. But basketball is
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: the easiest. Football is so hard, Yeah, lun says, give
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: him a call, by the way, we'll throw them on there. Yeah,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: we'll get him along. So I do want to talk
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: about hard knocks. But yeah, I think, yeah, the home
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: run push would be cool. The home run push would
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: be cool. Let's see, we're talking about Hulio this year.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: Curious what Edgar would say about the temperature issue. Yeah, Jim,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think it bothered Edgar. Nothing new here for Julio.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: This is your five or six. I wouldn't pay him
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: until June for several year. Softy Away says, I shouldn't
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: talk about this. We shouldn't talk about the season until
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: like two or three months in. Maybe we shouldn't talk
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: about Hulio or just he shouldn't play until two or
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: three months in. Just send him to Tacoma, Nashville wherever,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: maybe find some warm weather for him, whatever that might be,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: so we can we can do that as well. So
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: is he answering? He just said, call, I'm sorry, we apologize.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: I'm apologizing on be half a onne because he's an idiot. Anyway,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: let's see he's ready, he's ready, let's get to him.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Pop him up there. Listen, what are you doing?
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? Yeah?
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: This is on me.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: I mean there's just well that's apparent of the.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Something happened, and it's just there's no excuse.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: There's no feartimes, there's no fear, there is none whatsoever.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: I want to get to a couple of things I
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: want to get to and I normally I would have
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: just said screwed. I don't want to have them on today,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: like I'm pissed on, but I'm not. There's two things
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: I want to hit on. One your phone call from
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: on your show from a guy from Seattle. Before I
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: get to that, Yeah, before I get to that. Yeah,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: were you doing Raiders radio when they were on Hard Knocks?
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: I was, okay, So what can people here expect with
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks being on hard knocks.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: Well, you got to go back. Remember that was Gruden's
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: first year and it was it was a dumpster fire.
• 54:35
  Speaker 7: It was Antonio Brown and they just had so many
• 54:37
  Speaker 7: problems on that team and Gruden was, you know, knock
• 54:41
  Speaker 7: if you're with me and.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: All that kind of like they just he was trying
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: to re establish things.
• 54:45
  Speaker 7: Antonio Brown came in in a hot air balloon. Like
• 54:48
  Speaker 7: it was such a dumpster fire. The Seahawks won't be
• 54:52
  Speaker 7: like that, you know what I mean, Like when it
• 54:54
  Speaker 7: was the Raiders and they have camp and NAPA and
• 54:57
  Speaker 7: guys all over the place, and and Mark Davis is
• 55:00
  Speaker 7: the worst owner in sports. I mean, he's the His
• 55:02
  Speaker 7: haircut is the equivalent of the type of owner he is.
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's just it's the worst. He's the worst
• 55:07
  Speaker 7: in sports. And so they just had this dumpster fire
• 55:10
  Speaker 7: going on, and you know, was enjoyable because everything was
• 55:12
  Speaker 7: about Gruden because everything about the team kind of stunk.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: And then Antonio Brown had that whole situation.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: My son was actually on.
• 55:19
  Speaker 7: Hard knocks because Antonio Brown showed up at a d
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: La Salle High school game, which Delasal.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: You know a Momi Tumor and tons.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Of guys who have gone to that. Murray Jones drew
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: like it's.
• 55:28
  Speaker 7: This huge school and he just shows up out of
• 55:31
  Speaker 7: nowhere and the HBO crew is with them. I mean,
• 55:34
  Speaker 7: he just made the whole thing a spectacle. Mike McDonald's
• 55:37
  Speaker 7: just too smart for that. It's that's not gonna happen
• 55:39
  Speaker 7: with the CX.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I've talked to a number
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: of coaches I.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Know you have too, that have done it, and.
• 55:44
  Speaker 7: It's really that not that big of a distraction because
• 55:46
  Speaker 7: you know what a lot of teams are doing, well,
• 55:47
  Speaker 7: not a lot of teams. All teams are doing now.
• 55:49
  Speaker 7: They have they have a TV crew all the time,
• 55:52
  Speaker 7: they have stammers in there all the time.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's not it's not like it once was
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: where it's this big distraction.
• 55:57
  Speaker 7: In the age of social media and the age of information,
• 56:00
  Speaker 7: there's maybe not to this extent, but they're used to
• 56:03
  Speaker 7: having all that stuff around.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: It's not that big of a distraction, honestly. Yeah.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: But seahawks dot Com and my friend, our former colleague
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: at Fox thirteen Erica running around with the camera during
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: camp or practices. It's that's so like you know, the
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: team websites, that stuff's massively watered down. This isn't watered
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: down like this. This will not be water I just
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: went through. Like the problem is the history, Like if
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: you go back, Bill's are on it.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: This year.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: They fired McDermott at the end of the year, Bears
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, midway through the season, Ibra Flues fired
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Jets in twenty twenty three, four snaps into the season.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: The focal point of Hard Knocks was Aaron Rodgers Achilles
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: thanks for coming. Detroit starts one in seven. In twenty
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: twenty two, they missed the playoffs by game, but they
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: started one and six, Cowboys twelve and five and twenty
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: twenty one John but ended up losing in the wild
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: card round to your friends the forty nine ers. Yeah,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: I remember Raiders are seven and nine. That was a
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: dumb fire. I mean, there's a hard Knocks jinks, buddy,
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: don't lie. There's a hard hard knocks jinks here.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's here's if if if you go down that road,
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: I think what you what you do is because this
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: is how they do that. You're in TV.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: You know all this stuff. I'm not telling you anything.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: You don't know.
• 57:14
  Speaker 7: What they're gonna do is they're going to focus on
• 57:16
  Speaker 7: particular players who are who supposedly I mean, Mike McDonald
• 57:20
  Speaker 7: is obviously gonna be guys that they're going to focus on.
• 57:22
  Speaker 7: Sam Donold is going to be a guy that they
• 57:23
  Speaker 7: focus on. JSN is going to be a guy they
• 57:25
  Speaker 7: focus on. Defensively, you would know better than me what
• 57:28
  Speaker 7: DeMarcus Lawrence or Ernest Jones or somebody gonna be.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Witherspoon will be the guys who.
• 57:34
  Speaker 7: Have the best personalities. What they tend to do is
• 57:36
  Speaker 7: they'll go like four or five different guys and it's
• 57:38
  Speaker 7: their show. So the guys that you know, Gray's Zabel
• 57:42
  Speaker 7: is not going to be really distracted by hard knocks
• 57:45
  Speaker 7: because they're just not you know, not that he doesn't
• 57:47
  Speaker 7: have a personality. I know that he does, But I'm
• 57:49
  Speaker 7: just making a point of what they tend to do
• 57:51
  Speaker 7: is it's like it's like any.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: Show, they find the four or five.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: Or one or two people that are the most interesting
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: and they just.
• 57:56
  Speaker 7: Hammer them over and over and over again. So as
• 58:00
  Speaker 7: long as that handful of players can handle that kind.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: Of stuff, and then you just hit Weatherspoon.
• 58:05
  Speaker 7: Like in Witherspoon's case, I'm sure that he'll.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: Actually eat it up. Then I that I think it
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: can be good.
• 58:10
  Speaker 7: But I mean what you just said, it's kind of
• 58:12
  Speaker 7: just indisputable to say. But I just my experience at
• 58:15
  Speaker 7: the Raiders, and again it wasn't a good one. It
• 58:17
  Speaker 7: was grood in Antonio Brown until Brown, you know, got
• 58:19
  Speaker 7: kicked out of camp.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: But it's generally those guys.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, Derek Carr was boring.
• 58:23
  Speaker 7: He's a Bible he's a sorry, don't mean to off anybody,
• 58:26
  Speaker 7: but he's a Bible.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: Banger, and he's not going out.
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: He's not having fun and he's not you know, he's
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: not he's not fun to fall around. So you know
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: it's not necessary.
• 58:34
  Speaker 7: I mean, if Darnald's boring, we're gonna move right out Darnold,
• 58:37
  Speaker 7: even if he's a quarterback.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: I uh, I forgot guys. Yeah, you guys were at NAPA, right,
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: so it wasn't even in oh yeah, So that's.
• 58:43
  Speaker 7: Which made it more fun.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: Actually, you know, they went out to places and they.
• 58:48
  Speaker 7: You know, and they had those personalities on that team.
• 58:51
  Speaker 7: I mean I'd covered that team in NAPA for a
• 58:52
  Speaker 7: long time and and you know, they got a lot
• 58:54
  Speaker 7: of personalities on that team, but it's you know, they
• 58:57
  Speaker 7: went out to NAPA and they went to Wineries, and
• 58:58
  Speaker 7: you know, so was part of it, but it was
• 59:01
  Speaker 7: Antonio Brand and John Gruden that was That was the
• 59:03
  Speaker 7: thrust of the whole thing.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: I love your guy, Kyle Shanahan. For people who didn't
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: see the quote, I'll read the quote here. Kyle shan
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: He's like, honestly, he's the first guy to be honest
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: about this stuff. Like he really like everyone else, everyone
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: else is trying to play this NFL company line and
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: protect the shield and all this stuff. He finally said
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: what a lot of people have been thinking. For people
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: who missed it at the NFL meetings, Kyle Shanahan says,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: in regards to the forty nine ers taking on the
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: Rams week one in Melbourne, Australia, quote, I don't see
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: any pro It's cool for the league to play global lee.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: I think that's awesome, but as far as the team's
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: doing it, no, there's not much benefit to it. Sometimes
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: it's nice to get a bye week after, but it
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen in week one. Wow.
• 59:46
  Speaker 7: Well, and here's good for the issue. First of all,
• 59:49
  Speaker 7: I've been telling you that for years. The first interview
• 59:51
  Speaker 7: he ever did in San Francisco, we did it on
• 59:54
  Speaker 7: our show. And the first thing he said to us
• 59:56
  Speaker 7: because I asked him about the super Bowl because he.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: Had lost the prior week obviously, Yeah, and he said, he.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 7: Kind of looked at me and gave me a grin,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 7: and he goes, I don't.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: Know how to be anything but honest.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: So here's the deal.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: And he talked about Devonte Freeman missing a block. I mean,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: he's just totally.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 7: Throwing under the bus and like, well, if Devonte Freeman
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 7: makes the block, Matt Ryan gets the pass off and
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 7: we win the super Bowl. I mean, he's just that's
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 7: just the only way he knows how to be. He's
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 7: very straightforward and honest. He tells everybody you can tell
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 7: flat out when he's lying. He's the worst liar ever.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 7: So he just decided John Lynch is gonna be the
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 7: good cup. He's going to be the bad cop, and
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 7: he really doesn't care. I mean, do you realize this
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 7: is gonna be Kyle Shanaan's tenth year with the forty
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 7: nine ers. I mean, he's been around for a long.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: Time and Jeduar's not firing him.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: He's a great coach.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 7: By the time he hung up the phone, if he
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 7: did get fired, he'd have another job.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: So he doesn't care. And so he's just gonna say
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: what it is.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 7: And here's the worst party in is that Now they're
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 7: talking about I know you know this, but they're talking
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 7: about Game eighteen.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: They're talking about two buys. But they're also saying every
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: team is gonna have to play an international game.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 7: Can you imagine like every year forty nine ers this
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 7: year are going from Australia to Mexico City.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Oh they're playing two and wait, they're playing two this year?
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're playing in Australia and Mexico City.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: And we know this being on the West Coast, we
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: have the worst schedule ever. Yes, ogo Midwest East ten
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: am starts like the West Coast has it that anyway?
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 7: And now they're playing not again. No one's crying in Seattle,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 7: I understand that, but yeah, they have two international games.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: Are they think in Mexico City is that far?
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: But it's it is. It is pretty ridiculous.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: So they're losing one home game then, and I guess
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: the Rams will be, So would Melbourne be a Rams?
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 7: I guess those eight yea, I guessco City one is
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 7: a is a Niners one and the Rams.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Is the Melbourne.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who are they playing in Mexico City? I don't
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: even know yet.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: I don't think they have said yet. But yeah, he
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: hates it.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 7: I mean he flied out says that all the time,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 7: like he understands. I mean, they're trying to make it
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 7: a global game. It's never going to be the NBA
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 7: or or baseball or anything because those those sports are
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 7: playing in other countries. Football is not playing.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: And I know you no, I've talked about that.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: You covered the international stuff.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Right, No, I didn't go. I didn't go to the
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: two that we sent Aaron both times.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: Okay to Germany or something.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 7: But yeah, what happens is I told you the story,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 7: and I'll just do it really really quick. I was
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 7: at one of the London games and I walked into
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 7: a Nike store where there was tons of fans and.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: They're buying up all the jerseys and everything, and I
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: was going, do you know.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 7: That is do you like American football? And they're like no,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 7: I'm like, do you know that there's a game this weekend. No,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 7: like the NFL is completely over selling the fact that
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 7: everybody just loves American football. And I remember pulling up
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 7: to in a you know, on a media bus to
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 7: UH to Wembley Stadium, and it was this was.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: The coolest part. It was like a Pope pourri.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 7: It was like a rainbow shirt butt of all these
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 7: different jerseys of every team. The Dolphins are playing the Raiders.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't have known it. I mean it was Joe NAMA's.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: Jersey and it was a you know what I mean,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: it was a larger jersey like all.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 7: These They just there's there's a hardcore handful of fans
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 7: who like the NFL and they go to the games
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 7: and some of them have favorite teams everything like that.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, there is.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying it's not and it hasn't helped or
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 7: anything like that, but it hasn't. It's not to the
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 7: level that the NFL is trying to sell us.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: It's well, we found out last week that the krack
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: And are opening not opening, actually they're doing it in November.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: So the crack And are playing two games next year
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: in Finland against Caroline. I believe it is is a
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Carolina or Nashville Carolina and subastional Ahill. Anyway, they're playing there.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: They're playing in Finland. But it makes sense because combined
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: the two teams have like four or five guys from
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: Finland right on their teams. Like hockey's international, like the
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: NBA could play or seas because it's international, like the
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: NFL for some reason, thinks it's international. You're the five
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: hundred pound guerilla in our country, there's no doubt about that.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: But you're not, you know, I mean, the international thing
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: is just kind of a it's not even to the
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: level of of I would say, it's not the level
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: of what like Premier League soccer or all those things
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: are over here in our country where there's a ton
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: of fans. But I would be more upset too. And
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: I think this is where it was kind of stupid.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: If you are going to play the games, then don't
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: do it against arrival, like like, don't take because we
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: don't have a lot of rivalries on the West Coast.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: We just don't. Like it's not like the old day.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, like it's not like the NFC AFC North
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: or or things like that, or the NFC East. We
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: just don't have those, but we do. Like, I think
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: it's safe to say that the three top teams in
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: this division are pretty good rivals with each other, San
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: Francisco and Seattle and the Rams, right, Like those are
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: those are games that you should not take away from
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: one of the home fan bases, period, end of story.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: In fact, taken away from the home drives.

  Speaker 2: I'm not even can you this.
• 1:06:30

  Speaker 2: or something. A gun.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 7: A guy had a gun in a stroller and was
• 1:06:37

• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: I have a concealed weapon permit.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 7: And the guy was saying to him, no, you cannot
• 1:06:45

• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: not have that, and he had to end up kicking.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: They had to get the carry and kick the guy
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: out of the.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: Arrest him. What was he going to do with the
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: gun in the Manner game?
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 7: I don't know, but he had This guy said he

  Speaker 7: And I got another story for you too from the
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 7: same guy. But he said they said, yeah, the guy
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 7: would cooperate and everything, and so they had to get
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 7: police over and they had to boot the guy to
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 7: the game. He tried to walk in with a stroller
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 7: with a blanket over.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: That's that's kind of scary like that that could have
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: been like it, you know what, whoever that security guy
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: is to give that dude a raise, right, like good.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 7: Jobs, Like we got to see that, you know, because well,

• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: gun under this blanket. What do you do?
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: Idiot? And that's and that's why we all, you know,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: we all complained. When we all complain about going through
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: the metal detector, right, there's a good reason why because
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know about I don't know about you. I
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: don't need some dude that is out the pan pounding
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: beers and he's got a gun on him in a
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: game and he gets pissed off of somebody like we

• 1:08:16
  Speaker 7: You know, he's at the security He says, this happens
• 1:08:17

• 1:08:33
  Speaker 7: bra straps. He's like, look, that's not going to set

  Speaker 2: And the female security guard pulls out two giant metal
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: flasks out of this woman's bra.

  Speaker 7: I know we're probably running late. So all the guys
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 7: on Westwood One, they they're all doing video and I
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 7: was like, if you want me to do it, I'll
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 7: do it. But I haven't really pressed the point. And
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 7: it got to the point where people were requesting it.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 7: And you know, me, I look like the elephant man.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: It's like, you know, are you a human big?
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not attractive.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 7: No, I know, I am literally the definition of radio
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 7: face like no, and people like so they made me
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 7: do it, so I'm I'm even doing that.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: I did a YouTube, you know, I've done the YouTube show.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: We had video at KMDR, like you have to and
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I'm not ripping anybody. Why I say this. I
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: don't get it. Like I wouldn't sit there, but people do.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: They sit in these shap rooms and they love talk
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: and they they love it.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: They love the YouTube. Yeah, they love the youtubees. I
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: don't know. It's a to me, it's a it's an
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: audio medium. But listen, I I don't have a say.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: So they're going to put us on TV at some
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: point well on YouTube at some point. So once Travis
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: figures that out and no hurry, Trav, trust me, no hurry.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 7: By the way, you know who's going to be really
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 7: popular because this is how it works. I have a
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 7: female producer on the weekends, and when they show her
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 7: like it pops through the room justin.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: Ashley will be popular. And then and they'll say, why
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: are the rest of you guys on any kind of video?
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: That's what's going to happen. So they're going to see
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: how goofy Softy actually looks like, which is really funny,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: Like it's that part that's all of us. I'm more
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: concerned with. Is it going to be like can they
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: see us in breaks? Travel't? I think we talked about that. Okay,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: that can't help.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: But here's the problem. Here becomes the problem. We have it.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 7: So we have engineers and they'll tell you they put
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 7: a little green dot where you're supposed to sit, and
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 7: if you deviate from that, they'll say in your ear, yeah,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 7: the engineer is saying that you need to It's just
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 7: like TV, like you can't lean back, you can't.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: Do this, you can't do that, like all this now
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: it's like, you know, and then they tell you. Every
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: Ones like because I wear hats and stuff.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: All the time, I'm trust me.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 7: I'm like some days it's like you maybe you know,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 7: I know this sounds funny, but I might go to
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 7: the gym once twice a year, and so you know,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 7: it's like, you know, I'm throwing a hat or something
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 7: and they'll be like, oh, come on, you know you
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 7: got a shower, you gotta look good.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: I'm like, come on, this is radio. The whole point
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: of radio is just come casually walking in, you know.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: That's the whole thing. Like the video, that's the joke here.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: Like the guy before me, MJ gives me a hard time,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: it's all you got. You got cracking game? Must be
• 1:14:28

• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: You wear a hat, you gotta look decent. No, I
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: don't know if that's truck because we have we have

• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: like who's most popular? Like everyone loves Nina, right, Like
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: everyone loves Nina. Oh yeah, everyone loves Victoria right. So like, yeah,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: it's I think it's a bad idea.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: Because women don't sit around and watch radio shows.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: They don't know what A woman doesn't go out of
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: the house unless they're they you know, Oh that's shower,
