  Speaker 1: we're watching?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it was the season premiere.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: The new season premiere came out on Wednesday, but my
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: friends and I couldn't get together on Wednesday.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: So we did it yesterday to watch the new season premiere.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: And I don't have these parties very often, but we
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: were just sitting there randomly talking.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: We're like, we should just get together and watch it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Just an excuse to drink wine.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and eat some food.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: So we drank some wine and ate some food and
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: it was great.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I need an update on this show next week.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Because this is Wednesday, so next Thursday maybe.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Can I get an update from you? I'm fascinated by
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: all things Salt Lake.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: My six years at Salt Lake. And I saw the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: guy yesterday. There's Ian Bash and the Mormons again. Okay, listen. Yeah, okay,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you're right. I did. That's fair. But I'm fascinated by
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: all things. I loved my time in Salt Lake.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Son was born there. We had a great time. I
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: have great friends still there. That's one of the, The
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: two places, three places I lived, Tri-Cities, Salt Lake, Portland,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and back here after I left home the first time.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I could live in Salt Lake again.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: It looks so pretty. I've been once and I liked it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I loved it. I love Salt Lake. I could live
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: there again. It's weird. I'm not part of the culture.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I get it. I found a way around that until
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: our kids became a school age. Now they're out, so
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I could live. Great people there. I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: love Salt Lake. I could live in Tri. Okay. Great golf,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: good weather. I could live and try. I mean, it's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: way better than when I lived there. There's actually wineries
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and stuff there now.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, stuff to do.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Kind of cool. A lot of great golf. Could never
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: live in Portland again. Never would, never will again. No,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I couldn't.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: That's not a city that's not my list.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Really didn't like my time there. I'll be honest with you.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I just never, and we lived in the Coupe. We
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: lived in Mantucky. But even that, I just, no, can't
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: go back.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I always think like, yeah, watching Salt Lake, it looks
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: really pretty. I could do that.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: And plus you get the snow and you get the
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: nice warm weather. I think also Denver would be a
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: city I could probably live in.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Salt Lake's way better.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Prettier than denver yes i would agree with that and
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: then chicago would be the other city i think i
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: could live in if i couldn't live here god i
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: love chicago yeah.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Me too that's what it might be my favorite city
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it's awesome when we went to chicago for seahawks it
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: was like my favorite thing i love chicago yeah portland
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: no no i don't blame you no just weird and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: just stupid and just it's it's like all the bad
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: things about seattle you multiply that.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: By 10 yeah no i would agree with that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Um but i want i'm fascinated by the real housewives
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: of salt lake because when we were there There are
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: things in Salt Lake, I want to know how real,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I'll get on with you next week, because there are
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: things about Salt Lake that are, to this day, still
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: very weird by most people's standards across the country outside
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of Salt Lake. So I'm going to get some thoughts
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: on that. I'm interested, do you watch, is that the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: one show you watch, the reality show with the girls?
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: I watch, and then also Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: we watch.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's different.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: That is way trashier. Way trashier.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: The other thing, because my daughter and my son's girlfriend,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it's cool. They're very good friends. They both watch one
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of those shows. And then they also watch the Dancing
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: with the Stars.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: See, I don't do the competition shows.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So Kiefer had to go with the girlfriend on
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night over to my daughter's house with her girlfriend
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to watch. And I felt bad for him.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I felt bad for the boys.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: He wasn't thrilled, but he doesn't complain yet. Cause they,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you know, she's going to be a lawyer. So he's smart.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: He's going like, I'm going to.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to, I'm just going to do what
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: you want me to do.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: See, we were, we went over and then somehow Ashley,
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: my friend whose house we went to, Convinced her husband
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: to cook dinner for us.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Good, good, smart move.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and then we kicked him out of his living
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: room and made him watch the game upstairs while we
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: took over the living room.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Well, you didn't miss much with the game.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: No.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: That game was cheesy. So Goff and Amon Ross St. Brown,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: for those of you that care about either overs, unders, fantasy.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: In a game in which they were really, 10 points
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: doesn't even begin to describe it. They cheesed all kinds
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: of points out of that thing. It was greasy. It
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: was a greasy game.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: And I have Josh Allen in two leagues, so that
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: was helpful for me.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Congratulations on another win.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Well, you'd think, except I also have DJ Moore, who
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: got me minus.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: 1 points.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: You guys need to invoke the rule like we have
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: in our league, which, yes, people will be in here
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: hosting a show, because I'll probably suck again later on
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: That was a funny show, by the way.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: They're chomping at the bit. I feel like there's collusion
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: against me because they want to come back and do
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a show again, but in that league, If you have
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: any player, including a defense that has zero or negative points,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you got to take a shot on video and send
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: it to the group chat.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So we've had, we had four the first week.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: DJ Moore got our buddy, Roger Perkins one for tomorrow
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: or this weekend.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Cause he was my last one. I had Detroit's defense
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and dropped him last minute and added Kansas city. Thank God.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Cause that would have been negative as well. But yeah,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that was it. Boy, Buffalo looks crazy good.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Crazy good.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: But yeah, DJ Moore looked super good last week, and
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: then I was like, oh, I didn't, because again, I'm
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: barely watching the game, and I was like.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Wait, why do you have minus. 1?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Because he's got an owie. Yeah, apparently. He tried to run.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: They used him on a run play, and he got
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: negative yards, and then he got an owie. Oh, man.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I mentioned this earlier. So, and this is not me. Well,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm being petty. I don't know. I find it
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: kind of funny. So, the Seattle Times, which really doesn't,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: cover a lot of sports anymore. They just cover the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Seahawks and the Mariners and sometimes Husky football. They did
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: have a story today. I think Andy Yamashita is the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Husky beat writer. I guess there's nothing else to write
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: about when Eastern's in town, but it's actually good that
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: he wrote this because I was wondering this last week
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: as well. Washington Husky football this weekend. Where do you
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be? If you want to watch
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: it on TV, if you're not going to the game.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, probably....
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Big Ten Network.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Big Ten Network would be my guess.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: That would be good, right? Yeah. So let me hit
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: my Comcast thing here.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, Big Ten Network. Oh, I happen to be close
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: to it. Big Ten Network, right, which is, there it is. Oh, God,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: you know what? Riveting right now. We've got College Field
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Hockey on Channel 632. Do you watch College Field Hockey?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I have never once watched a single second of it.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Portland State, Oregon's on the big show, on the Big
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Ten Network tonight. But I'm going to shuttle ahead, Ashley,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: here to four, because it's on the Big Ten Network.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: That's what it says on the TV schedule. It's on
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the Big Ten Network tomorrow. We've got Buffalo at Penn State.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: It's the early game.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Texas-El Paso at Michigan is the 12-30 game.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, and then we should be 4-15.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: And then at 3-30, you've got big live football. We'll
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: recap everything. Dave Revson and company will recap everything. Riveting personalities.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Recapping with Revson. Recap with Revson. 4-15, college football. Yeah.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: North Dakota at Nebraska.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, what?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: North Dakota at Nebraska. So if you were like me
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and many others last week, flipping around the channel.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: And as much as I wanted to listen to the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: game with Elise and Cam and whoever the new sideline
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: guy is.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of that guy.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Awful.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: As much as I wanted to listen to it on
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: 93.3 KGFM, I also wanted to watch the game as well. Right.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Flipping around as my team's getting its teeth kicked in
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and chiclets knocked down their throat by... by Kansas State.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that did happen.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: It did happen. It happened early and often. It kind
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: of looked like, for a good chunk of the game,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: it looked like Detroit and Buffalo, except for there was
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: no offense on one of the teams. But I flipped around.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, it's Big Ten Network. I read the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: game notes this week. Big Ten Network. Oh, no.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: No, no.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: It's on the Big Ten, wait for it, overflow channel.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Second week in a row. A top 25, well, they're
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: still ranked. Well, they're still in one poll.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I think the coaches poll. Not even room for them.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: North Dakota, Nebraska takes precedent over a Washington game.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Where does one find this overflow channel?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I just found this out, and thanks to Andy
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Yamashita from the Seattle Times. It will be on the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: overflow channel, which if you're Comcast, and I'm still old,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I like Comcast, I do. Because last week you hit
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: like the little C thing. Didn't even have the Huskies listed.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Said set close game alert, but that's it.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: It's on channel 1315, 1315. Okay. That apparently is an
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: overfull of channels. Okay.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Then at least you'd have it.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: YouTube TV will show the game at... on Big Ten
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Network Alternative Channel 1. So you're on the alternative channel.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Very alternative.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: There's all kinds of fun stuff on that channel.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Alternative to what?
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: It's like the old... Remember the old music station here?
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: The end?
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: No, it was Funky Monkey we had.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Chunky Monkey. That's what I call it.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Chunky Monkey, Funky Monkey.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of what the alternative is. Yeah. If
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you have... DirecTV, it's on channel 610-1. Dash one.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't even know if you can put
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: a dash in there.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't know you could either. It's like the HD
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: radio stuff.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's tricky. And then does it have it for
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Fubo asking for a friend? Probably not.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Not listed.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Perfect.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: Spectacular.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: How's the new TV deal working out, people?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, good thing we.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Like, you've got all these... 13.15 is not even listed
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: on Comcast right now. It goes 13.14. Oh, my God. Yeah,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: it's not even listed. So it must just pop in
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: like the Mariners thing.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just going to, let me just say.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: The Mariners channel sits there, though.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: It does, yeah, because it's off air 24-7.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and they just activated it right before the season,
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: but the season's already started here, so their alternative channel
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: should be there.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: So it will be on TV, but it will be
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: a challenge to find it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to now go onto my FUBO website
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: and see if I can find it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Well, and the thing that's frustrating, in all seriousness, the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: thing that's frustrating for if you're a Husky fan or
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: for a football fan like me, I just want to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: watch the game.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Because I saw it was close.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Like, oh.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Because I figured by the time I flipped over.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: You wanted to see if the Huskies were going to
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: blow it.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's very accurate.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: That was very accurate. But it's not even listed. So
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that Andy did this. And now we're providing
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a public service. But that's a brutal TV deal. Let's
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: just call it what it is. That's a brutal TV deal.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: And it's also kind of a kick in the face
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to Washington. This is Seattle, man. This is Seattle. This
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: is like Lincoln, Nebraska, North Dakota. I know it's eastern Washington.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: But this is where college football is goofy to me.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: This is where it really pisses me off in all seriousness.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Because this happened to Wazoo and to a certain extent
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Oregon State. The market size should matter.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I would agree.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Seattle is the number 12 media market in the country.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if Washington's playing my sister, the blind,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: like if you're not on whatever, is it Fox and ABC?
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I think are the partners for the big 10. I
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: believe I lose track, but I think that's what it is.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: If you're not in one of the 18, you know, Fox,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Fox or FS one or ABC.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Then you should be on the big 10 network.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: I agree.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Or if you have too many teams in your conference,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: maybe that's a problem. I, yeah.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: And then you should also stop calling yourself a big 10.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Um, but yeah, I did find on Fubo, it is
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: on Big Ten Network Alternate 2.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Alternate 2?
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, what do we have, Field Hockey and Alternate 1?
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Probably, probably, but I'm just scrolling by football.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: I will say for Fubo people, though, luckily, it is
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: actually on the list of football games, because half the time,
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: stuff's not actually on that list, so you can actually
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: go to it and click on it.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Well, and like I said, Comcast is great. Like, they
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: do a great job with everything. When you hit the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: little C. I know people hate the cable company, I
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: get it, and they piss me off, too. Like, it
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: took me 20 minutes to get Red Zone activated last week,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: even though I had I thought I was already paying
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: for it. But it's, like, when you click on it,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: it tells you every game. Like, I've got every game
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: in the country. I've got all the FCS games.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: They're on ESPN Plus. We're over there. Washington, not listed anywhere.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: You're getting half share, and you're getting kicked to that
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: alternative channel.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: That's a bad deal.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: It is not great.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Like, you can say, oh, Cougars are bitter.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're bitter.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Damn right we're bitter. Pissed off.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: But this is not a better deal. This is not
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: a better deal.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Hasn't seemed like it so far. That's true.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Half share money-wise... And you're on, for the second week
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: in a row, not even on the Big Ten Network. Yeah.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Do you miss the Pac-12 Network yet? Okay, that might
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: be a little bit of a stretch.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know about that.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Actually, the good thing with the Big Ten Network is
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: you do get a dose of the most boring woman
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: in sports, Ashley, whatever her name is. What's the lady's
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: name that used to be on the Big Pac-12?
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about?
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah. What is her last name?
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: The most boring person on the planet on television. You
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: get her, and you do get Dave Revson, right? You
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: do get that.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Recapping with Revson.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: And Yogi Roth.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Yay.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: I am a fan.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, so they just moved all the Pac-12 people over.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Well, except for Mikey. Yeah, there we go.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: All right. Okay.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I'm done raving. Danny O'Neill joins us next.

• 15:05
  Speaker 1: He's with us. How are you, sir?
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: I'm doing very well, Ian. I think I'm one of one.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: It's a small, small sample size of which I am king.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Nobody has to know that, buddy. Just go with the best.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Just go with number one. Just go with number one
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and move on from there. Hey, I want to get
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to a lot of football, NFL, college, some other stuff
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I want to throw at you. But before I get
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to that, I mentioned this with Ashley earlier. By the way,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: did you say hi to Ashley? We made a trade here.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: I did.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Yes. Very exciting news.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, very exciting. I think it's exciting. I don't know
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: if she shares that same thought. I do. Okay, good. But, Dani,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: we were discussing this earlier. I mentioned in the headlines–
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: about the Mariners playing tonight in Colorado. It's the Kevin
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Shockey Cup, a three-game series. It's even more prestigious than
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the Vetter Cup, is what it is, is what I'm told. So,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: big event tonight, big event with the Colorado Rockies. And
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: most people have said it's over, and they've written them off.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Are you giving them any inkling of a chance? Ashley said,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: until it's mathematically done, I'm still holding out hope. Is
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: there any chance whatsoever?
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: I pronounced them dead once Christian Walker hit that home run,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: and it's probably a month ago now in Houston.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: Where I believe that's the bottom of the 10th. It
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: was a Friday night. And at that point, I turned
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: off the game, and I went directly to bed, and
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: I did not hesitate for a second to fall asleep.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: They did not interrupt.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: And at that point, I was like, flatline, dead, dead.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: And it might have been premature. However, I actually think
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: that my sense on this was exactly right. And I've
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: just faded through. I haven't acknowledged any of the false
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: starts or like flopping fish in the boat. No, they're dead.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: They're absolutely dead. They're toast. I think it's great and
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: a sign of Ashley's tremendous humanity that she leaves open
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: the possibility for miracles. I am more of a cold,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: practical realist. No, they've been dead for quite some time.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Ashley?
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, that hurts. Bag them and bag them.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: But I will say this, too.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: My head is saying they're dead. Just let it go.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: It's just my heart's like, oh, hang on.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: That's the problem is every time they squeeze out one
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: win in Anaheim. And you're like, oh, hey, oh, hey.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, look, you beat a real crappy team.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, wait a second. Wait a second. Joe, they're 71-82,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: so nine games left to go. At best, they'll finish 80-82.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: The math really just kind of tells you that there's,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, Houston's at 77, Texas is at 76. I mean,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the magic number or tragic number is down to, I think, four.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Something like that. Danny, Joe Sheehan, who we have on
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: every week on Tuesday, we're playing a promo now. And
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: he said, actually, correct me if I'm wrong, he said
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: they're the most disappointing team in Major League Baseball this century.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Which we both looked at each other and went, wow,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: since 19, no, actually since 2000. Because I hear century,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I'm old. I think 1900s. I thought 100 years, yeah.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: But 26 years, Danny, that's a pretty good sample size.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you for perspective on every team
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: since the year 2000 and Y2K. But how disappointing is this?
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: This team specifically is the... And there's some stiff competition.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: The year they're on the cover of Sports Illustrated with
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Robinson Cano and Felix Hernandez.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: And the hunk that hurt. The year they paid $ 100
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: million to a roster that lost 100 games. I believe
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: that's 2008. That stung. That stung. Having a roster that
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: included Griffey, the big unit, Edgar, and Alex Rodriguez. Essentially,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, three Hall of Famers, but four, because Alex
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: would be if he hadn't pumped himself to the gills
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: full of horse tranquilizers. But this one, I think what
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: hurts most is that this one includes just some inexplicably
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: dispiriting things, like Julio throwing a ball into the outfield
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: stands when there's only two outs. Josh Naylor, and I
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: could understand how he didn't realize that line drive was caught,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: but it looked so bad. It just looked so bad,
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: and he absolutely should have been run. out the ball
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: that the second baseman booted, the eighth second baseman booted,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: but then had time to turn the double play because
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: he wasn't hustling. This looks worse than anything else. And
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: that's saying something because we've gone, this is by appearances,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: the optics of this season. have been worse than, than any. Yeah,
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: it is. It is a staggering amount of disappointment. Yeah.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: It's, it's also just hard to believe, to be honest
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: with you, for me, because I, I think most of
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: the time in sports that, especially over the long, you know,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: the course of a long season where you can have,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you know, this isn't football, especially college football, you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Oregon's a great example. You have a, You have a
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: bump in the road, and sometimes that can be really
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: hard to overcome. I mean, Oregon still has USC next week.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, one loss in college football doesn't eliminate you
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: from a national championship possibility like it used to back
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: in the day. Thankfully, we have 12 teams and maybe
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: soon to be 24. But you lose one, your margin
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: of error is next to nothing. In the NFL, you
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: can have a couple losses, but you get past five
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: or six in today's NFL, you're not going anywhere. Like,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: you're not going to the playoffs, and you're certainly not
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: going to have home field advantage. In baseball, there's so
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: many opportunities because the season's so long. All those things
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: you discussed, you should be able to overcome all of
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: those things, all of those little incidents, all those events.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: And talent usually does win out. In this case, it didn't,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and it hasn't. And I think that's, Danny, to me,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: that's what's frustrating.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: You know what we are, Ian? And it's just the
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: comment from Jeff. We're the Browns of baseball. Like what
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: the Cleveland Browns are to the NFL is what the
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Seattle Mariners are to baseball. Just a big misery factory.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Like that's, that's what we produce on a more consistent
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: basis seasons with the occasional dash of hope. But yeah,
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: we're just a misery factory and they should have been baseball.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Baseball used to be this endurance run where to get
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: to the playoffs. And I'm talking like before mid nineties
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: where to get to the playoffs meant you had to
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: endure this marathon race because so few teams got to
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. Totally different now. They give you every opportunity
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: if you're a talented team to get into the playoffs.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: And if you get into the playoffs, you've got a
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: fighting chance. They've had every opportunity. Not only are there
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: so many playoff berths, but they're playing in a toxic
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: waste dump of a division this year. And they still,
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: they still kind of, they were, they were, people were
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: begging for them to seize the opportunity. Nay, no, never.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: They refused.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: God. I mean, you think about what it's so, so
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: in 40% of teams in each league, make the playoffs
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: six of 15. Like that's just, it's just inexcusable. I mean,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: it just, it just is. We'll, we'll, we'll, we'll do
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: a final obituary on them at some point in the
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, Monday, if they lose it, they
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: lose a couple more. I mean, Unless they sweep the Rockies.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: We've said that a bunch of times. Coming up, we'll
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Do you know what's going to happen when they conduct
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: the autopsy? They lay this cold slab of the season
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: out onto the coroner's deck. They're going to look in
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: there like, my God, this patient had no heart. That's
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: what happened.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: It's like the Tin Man, right? Like the Tin Man
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: in Wizard of Oz.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: This Tin Man season.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Tin Man season. Oh, God, it is the Tin Man
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: season for the Mariners. There is no heart. There is
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: no heart with this team. Meanwhile, the football team goes
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: to Arizona this week. What are your favorite memories of
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: that fun place? There's always some great ones, right? The
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: funny thing is, we mentioned this earlier, they win almost
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: every time they're down there, but bad stuff happens almost
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: every time they're down there, Danny.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: A lot of weird things that have happened. My favorite memory...
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: And this is going back. This is a blast from
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: the past. I think it's 2006. I think it's the
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: year after they go to the Super Bowl. Holmgren's the coach,
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: and they are in position to kick a game-winning field goal.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: And Sean Alexander takes the handoff and inexplicably kind of
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: stops running, doesn't get the handoff. Darnell Dockett is in
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: the backfield. He fumbles it away. The Seahawks lose it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: And then afterwards, Sean and Sean was a great running back.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Sean is a much better running back than, than we
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: remember him in large part because he did some frustrating things.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: But one of Sean's traits was after a particularly dispiriting loss,
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: he would not be downtrodden about it. He was smiling.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: He was upbeat. He was kind of laughing about how
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: he thought Matt Hasselbeck gave a fake audible. And Oh
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: my gosh, there was.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: This guy in the background.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: And I just I the the disconnect between, dude, you've
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: got to at least look like that really, really bothered you.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: You've got to look like that. That is probably one
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: of the memories that really sticks out from down there.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I I go back to I'm going to find the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: game right now. Stand by. Hang on. 2016. It was
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: October 3rd, 2016, if I'm not mistaken.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: Here it is.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I'll find it right now.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: That's the day everybody died.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: So that was the 6-6 game, if I'm not mistaken, right?
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: That was 6-6. Thursday night game. Thursday night game. Was
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: it Thursday? What was it? What did I say was
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: October what? October... October 3rd?
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: October 23rd.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: October 23rd. Yeah, October 23rd was that date, that 6-6 game.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: And I remember that game, and it was just an
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: absolute slogfest. Scoreless after one, Arizona, and this was in
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Seattle still in its prime. You look at the Seattle lineup,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's Bennett and Cliff and Wagner and KJ, Sherm, etc., right?
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Earl's still playing at that point in time. Now, offense
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: didn't have a guy named Marshawn, but they still had
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Baldwin and Curse and Russ and all that. So it
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: was 3-0 at the half. Seattle kicks a field goal
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Stephen Hauschka ties the game up,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: and then they score. They both kick field goals in overtime,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: but there were like a combined— I'm going to see
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: how many field goals were missed. There was like a
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: combined six missed field goals in that game. No touchdowns, 6-6.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: That was like the worst football game ever played. And
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: it was, of course, in Arizona. They're like, well, the
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: grass is bad. We don't like to play. No, man,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: it was just a bad football game. Just an awful
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: football game.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: It was an awful football game. That's also the game.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: That was the last game that Sherman, Cliff Averill, and
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Cam Chancellor played as Seahawks. If you were going to
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: come up with what was the tombstone for the Legion
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: of Boom era, it's that game in large part because
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: of injuries. The franchise was never the same after that.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: We brought up earlier our feelings towards this game. Before
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: the season started, you're taking on the team that you
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: beat in the Super Bowl. They're still a quality opponent,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: but you should get that win. You should get that win.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: My level of concern last week wasn't too high. As
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: it turned out, it should have been. We didn't anticipate
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold getting hurt. Next week, you go to Arizona.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: everything tells you Arizona is playing for the number one pick,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: trying to find a quarterback. Sorry, Jacoby and Gardner. You're
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: not the guys we're trying to play for the number one,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: new coach, first year, good division. They're going to be
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: a really bad football team. Then they go out and
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: just whack the chargers, like smash them in the face and, uh,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: and take their lunch money and walk away and head
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: back to Glendale. Now all of a sudden backup quarterback
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: going to Arizona and it's Arizona, even though you haven't
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: lost there since the COVID year of 2000 with 1200
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: people in the stands, by the way, that's the last
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: time you lost there. Uh, This one's a little bit nerve-wracking,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: I think, on Sunday, Danny.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: 100%. And that question of, okay, it sounds fairly positive
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: about Sam Darnold's prognosis. It's a fairly good sign that
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: he's not on injured reserve, meaning this really might be weeks,
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: not months. At the same time, the reality, and I
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: saw that Mike Holmgren said he considers Drew Locke to
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: be the best No. 2 quarterback in the league. if
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: that's the case, you really, you really feel like you
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: should win this game, but that's always so tricky when
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: you're dealing with a backup quarterback. And I, I have
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: way more uncertainty about this game than I did in
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: week one, which is strange to say because the Patriots are,
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, even given what we saw, I think the
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Patriots are a better team than the Cardinals, but yeah,
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals and I watched all of that chargers game, uh,
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: The Cardinals looked pretty good. And maybe it'll turn out
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: that the Chargers just got awful. And Jim Harbaugh, all
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: of the praise and expectation that was heaped upon him,
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: he's just not able to do it again. But the
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Cardinals looked pretty good. Their offense looked capable. McBride is
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: a really good tight end. Love is obviously a very
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: dynamic running back. I think that running backs depend a
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: lot on the people around them. Um, I would not
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: have drafted a running back that high. I don't care
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: who it was, but they looked like a fairly competent
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: team in week one.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: The, uh, Mike McDonald just spoke is speaking right now,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: actually to the media. It sounds like Nick Eamon worry
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: is still, uh, limited in practice. I would think without
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: a full practice, there's probably not much of a chance
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: that he plays. We'll, uh, we'll get that. Um, we'll
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: get that probably later on today, but it doesn't, I'm
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: guessing even worry is probably not going to, uh, go, uh,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Anthony Bradford of all things also, uh, Maybe not play
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: on Sunday as well. Danny, not a lot of people watch. No,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I laugh about this. Not as many people watched the
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: game last Wednesday, the opener in the NFL on a Wednesday,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: as they did the previous year, the opening game. I
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: know you're really stressed about that.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: I hate TV rating stories. And I'm not sure if
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: it's an age thing.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: I really.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: And to the point where I'll argue with people... I
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: don't think TV– I don't think we should worry about
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: TV ratings. I think that network executives and the people
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: that pay the money to put the games on television
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: and the administrators, not even the coaches, but like the
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: league commissioners should worry about television ratings. I don't understand
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: why any of the regular population gives a rip how
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: many other people are watching the team they like. It's
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: not going to prevent me from watching them in the future.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: In fact, it might make me knowing that I might
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: kind of like the fact that not as many people
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: like the team that I root for. Yet, God, man,
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: people go nuts over TV rating stories. I just don't
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: get it.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I brought this up earlier. The TV ratings thing is
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: a funny deal because Does market size matter? Does brand matter?
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: What matters the most? I spent some time last segment
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: talking about this is the second week in a row
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: that the team in market 12, media market 12, the
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Washington Huskies, they're on the Big Ten network, but they're
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: not even on the Big Ten network. They're on Big
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Ten network alternative, which is... Not even listed, depending on
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: what system you use. Ashley found it on Fubo Alternative 2,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I do believe.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Et cetera. It's on Comcast, Big Ten Network. It's 1312.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: It's not even listed right now. It'll pop up tomorrow
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: as if by magic. I thought sometimes market size would matter. Apparently,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: it doesn't. But, yeah, I mean– I thought the thing
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: with the Seahawks game, they still had a massive, huge audience,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: but it was a Wednesday night as well. Nobody's used
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: to watching football on the Wednesday night unless you're a
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: fan of the Mac attack watching Toledo and Bowling Green.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it just creates, because I felt the same thing.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: When I saw it, I immediately started looking for, okay, well, look,
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys played in it last year, so it's probably
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: not going to be as big a number. And you
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: know what? Patrick Mahomes played in it the two years
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: before that, so that's probably going to quit. And then
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: I was just like, why the hell do I care
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: if other people are watching the Seahawks? The Seahawks, their
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: season's not going to get canceled on television, because sometimes
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: when you have a favorite show, I can understand worrying
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: about ratings because you don't want the thing to get canceled.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: They're going to be showered. The Husky game, and this
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: just gets to the lunacy of college football. It is
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: way more straightforward for me to watch the Washington Huskies
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: while living in New York. than it is if you
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: live in Seattle, like last week, all the people with
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Xfinity that weren't able to like physically weren't able to
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: access the game for an extended period of time. That
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: is insane. And it just makes it, all of this
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: is just made up as they're going along and it's
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: so frustrating and stupid, but God, yeah. Tell me more
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: about what the ratings are compared to year over year. Hey,
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: maybe just put the game on in the market where
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: the teams play and And just call it good. And
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: save all of the money that you won on the
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: press releases about how many other people are watching. Like,
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: don't spend the money on that. Just put the game
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: on in the market where the team plays.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Not that hard. Really is not. You know what's wild?
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: The Pac-12 had it figured out with their crappy network
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: more than the Big Ten does. That's what's kind of weird.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: All right. Best sports writing out of New York about Seattle.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Where can I find it?
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Danny O'Neill.com. You go and you'll see a picture of
• 33:25

• 33:32
  Speaker 4: enter your email address and I will send you periodic emails.
• 33:34

  Speaker 1: remember right last week and I got three and I
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: appreciate that.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: I live to serve you and I live to serve.

• 34:38
  Speaker 3: The National Hockey League and the Seattle Kraken with Ian Furness.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Daily power play. You're home for the Kraken. 93.3 KJFM.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow's game, by the way, on 9.50 on the A &
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: M Dallas. The first preseason game against Vancouver. Everett, Al,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: and the captain, Mike Benton. Bento will be on the
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: call for you. 9.50, because the Husky game is at
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: 4.15 here on KJR against Eastern Washington.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: If Benton gives a box score, is it a Bento box?
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: See, that's a marketing opportunity that's being wasted. That's what
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. That is a wasted marketing opportunity by the
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Kraken Audio Network.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I just pulled that right out of Sam Darnold's rear end.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Well, and we know that that's hard to do because it's,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: when you look at the headlines here again, it's a
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: rear-end injury.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a rear-end injury.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: The Kraken opened things up preseason, first of four preseason games.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: That's cut down from six, thank God.
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Regular season now 84 instead of 82. Ugh. The game
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: will also be on TV tomorrow as well, on Kong TV.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: But right here over on 950, also on the iHeart app,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: you can get a nice little clean feed of that
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: as well. Storyline of the offseason was people didn't like Seattle.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: People being Jason Robertson specifically. He's a star forward for
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Stars. Ended up getting a huge contract from Dallas.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: As it turns out, he didn't want to leave Dallas.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Seattle made a pitch, made an offer, went aggressive. So
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: did like four other teams. He said no to all
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: of them.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Including Seattle. But for some reason, Seattle just got beat
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: up all year. The Kraken, City, whatever. Nobody wants to
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: come to Seattle. That was a theme. First of all, NHL,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: national media, by and large, not all, by and large,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: most of them are idiots. Most of them are morons.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: They just are. And they're beholden to agents is what
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: they are. More so than Rapp and Schefter and all
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: those guys. But this weird dynamic that took place this summer,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: we hate Seattle, I never could quite understand it. Matty
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Beneers last week talked about it a little bit, and
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: he talked about it again yesterday. He was asked whether
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: or not he felt like there was a need for
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: him as an alternate captain to step up and say something.
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: I heard a lot of people like that. It was
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: just the honest truth, right? It wasn't necessarily a dig
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: at him or anybody else, but it was just like, hey,
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: we want guys that want to be here, and you know,
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: that love this city and want to be here and
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: want to win here. So, yeah, it was just an
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: honest answer to the question. And it seemed like people
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: kind of grabbed onto it and ran with it. So,
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: you know, it's good. It's good to get some traction around,
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: you know, our city and, you know, our culture and
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: wanting to win.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Do you find you're taking that more personally now that
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: you've been here for five years?
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, we want guys that, you know, that
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: are good players that want to help us, you know,
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: be better and win. So yeah, obviously I want, I mean,
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: all every guy in that locker room wants, wants players
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: that want to be here that are skilled and, you know,
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: obviously are impact players. Um, but you know, it doesn't,
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: like I said, it doesn't really change much when, you know,
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: you can be as good as you want to be,
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: but if you don't want to be in that city,
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: you don't want to play for that team. It's, it's
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: not going to help our team. So, um, yeah, it,
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: it sucked when it happened and the media had a
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: big fun day with it to, you know, say, Hey,
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: look at how, you know, bad Seattle is. Robertson doesn't
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: want to go there for all this money, right? So
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: I think it was just kind of our duty to
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: be like, hey, no, it's great here.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: We love it.
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: We want to win here. We've got great fans here, and.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Good for Maddie. Hockey players don't usually say stuff. I
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: asked Vince the same thing yesterday, and he talked about
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: it a little bit, but not as outward as Maddie
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: did there. I think the thing with Seattle, there's a
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: chicken and egg thing here, Ash, really is. Like, You
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: want this to become a destination for free agents and
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: guys that are going to get traded. And everybody in
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: the NHL has a no trade clause right now, more
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: so than any other league. But you want it to
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: become a destination. Like the Seahawks are.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Right, exactly.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: The Mariners long have had this same issue. We've talked
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: about it a zillion times. They've got to overpay for
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: free agents to come here because marine layer. But, you know,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: the perceived weather issues. Well, they've got to, you know,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter in hockey. You wouldn't think. But I'm
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: glad Maddie said that. But the chicken and egg is like, well,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: how do you get to become a desirable team to
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: go to? Well, people want to go to winners. Well,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: to be a winner, you need to have really good players.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: So how do you get those guys? Well, in the
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: case right now, develop within it. I thought it was
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: more telling this year that Bobby McMahon was a free
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: agent at the end of the year, spent the last, what, 15,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: 20 games here, and he re-signed here.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, wanted to be here.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Wanted to be here. Yeah. He could have gone to
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: probably 20 of 32 teams, minimum, around the league and
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: got the same money, maybe more in some places. He
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: came back here. I thought that was way more telling
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: than a guy like Jason Robertson that didn't want to
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: leave Dallas. But that was the whole storyline. So you
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: know how you do? Change it. Go out and kick
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: some ass. this year.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, please.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: We just talked about how talented the Mariners roster is.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: A lot of people think this roster for the Kraken,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: not very talented. Okay, well, let's prove that that can
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: happen then.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, please. Yes, yes, yes.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Let's go do it.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: I want a winning season.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: You and me both. Trust me. All right. Rob Rank,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: what a huge college football weekend coming up, especially with LSU.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss, and so much more. We'll talk about that
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: with Rob Rang next.
