  Speaker 3: What's that I don't know that I would recognize your colon?
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Now? Oh?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Is that right? I just figured it's going to have
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: such a big change, you know on me? Yeah?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Big change.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Oh well, I got that colony thing on Friday. I've
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: never done one before, and I'm way overdue for it.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And I understand that, so let the message get out.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: But I will be out on uh on Friday, and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I'm I mean, it's one of those things where it's
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: like theoretically, you know, it's it's prevention medicine. I mean,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't I'm not sick or anything like that.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: But I do have that tomorrow, So I won't be
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: on the airwaves tomorrow. But yes, by the time I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: do get back on the airwaves, I'm probably gonna sound
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a lot better, smarter, clearer, because I'm gonna you know.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: You're not gonna be full of all that crap.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, which is something that I've been accused of
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: in the past. But yeah, you're gonna be like, Wow,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: why does he sound so much better today? And it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: because I will have an unrecognizable colon.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I hadn't thought it would be.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: That much better than it was before. Probably gonna get it,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: but dazzled. I mean, why go through all that trouble
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: if you're not gonna just you know, cosmetic surgery it
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: up as well.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: It's a really smart way to look at it, honestly.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: If you can't, if you can't go in and improve
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: your colon, what are you doing it for?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Right exactly? I mean, why am I in here just
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: for a check up? Let's go Yeah, I don't have
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that much time in my day. If I'm here, let's
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: do something special.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: And I want photo proof so I can show all
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: my friends.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And now that we're on YouTube, boy, are
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you guys out there going to feel like you are
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: really in on it?
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: You are in for a treat. You're gonna be able
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: to see the difference.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Right right, I'm pretty sure I can show it to you. Yeah,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: pretty sure.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a certain part check.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: With the boss. Yeah, but I think so.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: I think there's a part we can't show. But then
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: there's got to be a part we can't.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that'd be something I could show. I mean,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: we got YouTube. Now, we're on YouTube. We got all
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of these new listeners who are enjoying this new platform
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that we're on. You know, I want to share. I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: want them to feel like they're on the inside with us,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: I don't think that's what that's supposed to mean, that
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: they're on the inside.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, Well, I don't know. Maybe I've never done
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: this before. Maybe I don't understand how it works. All
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I know is that come Saturday morning, I'm going to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: be a different human.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Maybe you don't understand how it works, but I love
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: how you think it works.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, yeah, don't.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: When you start all your juices and stuff tonight tonight.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like when I get up from my nap, it'll
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: it'll be on. Yeah, it'll be I.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Can't remember when I how Yeah.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you've been telling me about the process, and I'm like,
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: I don't call my process.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: But well, apparently they've changed a little bit because I've
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: been on a diet for five days and then I do.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I have to do that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I go on the whole liquid diet starting today because
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the procedure is not until like two o'clock tomorrow.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, it like seven am.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so so yeah, So that's that's enough of that. Yeah,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I think I put enough of an image in everybody's minds.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It's a vibrant image. Now they feel part of the program,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: which is what I like to do. I like to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: include everyone. So good morning to you. We've got a
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: lot going on today, including the start of a golf
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: tournament that's pretty famous. It's the Masters. It is already
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: underway as we speak. We will be providing professional updates
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: from Augusta starting at seven twenty this morning, and then,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of course Ashley and I will provide updates as well
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: when we can when something strikes us. Of course, I'm
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: not sure we'll get Ashley away from viewing the Masters
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: whenever viewership becomes available. Is it available yet? I know
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: they started at five point forty five.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is on. It's on the apps.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: Okay, I have not turned it on yet because yeah,
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: that will be a problem.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, But.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like ESPN plus does a bunch of stuff.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, well, Ola Thobble is leading. It is
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that all that's not Jose Marie Ola Thabble it is.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: How old is he?
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Ninety two?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: My gosh? And I guarantee you he's smoking a cigarette
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: while he's getting ready to line up the fourth shot
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of the day.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Yes, definitely, otherwise otherwise he's clearly had a Kolonasky and
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: everything's changed about him too.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: It happens, I hear, yeah too, wonder for a Ola
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Thabole at this point on the leaderboard. But we are
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: just getting underway. It started at five forty five, so
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: they're only twenty minutes into tournament action at this point.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So Happy Master's Day to everyone. And I know how
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: many golf nut jobs there are listening right now.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: It's not just Ashley, No, it's definitely not just me.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: I got my Augusta sweatshirt.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: On though, Oh you do.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I haven't even seen your wardrobe yet. YouTube pass.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a oh I.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: See you bring any pimento sandwiches? By chance?
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I did not.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I can't eat them right now.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you wouldn't be able to eat them.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And I unless you want to liquify it.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: I don't because that sounds terrible. Really, you can't eat them,
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: and I can't either. I have to use fake cheese.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: It's all right, it's not the same.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I think you should just eat through that. I'm really
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: tired of hearing about this. Just eat through.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Just keep trying, you know, I'm not even kidding.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: At one point I thought I had the lactose intolerance.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And I was worried. And I was like thirty four,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: thirty five years old, and cause and because I hear
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: it just all of a sudden, you have it one
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: day in some cases, okay, uh, and it is because
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: of ice cream. And then we talked about it on
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the air, just like I tend to talk about things personally.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Which is weird.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I've not heard you do that on the air. And
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: then and then everybody was giving me this doom and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: gloom story about it, and I looked at everybody, said enough,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not giving up ice cream. It's like my best friend.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going to eat more of it. I'm going to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: eat my way through it. And it turns out it worked.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's recommended by doctors.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Probably not.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I really think what was going on is I don't
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: really when I and I've had good health, but when
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I have comebined like halapanos with dairy not a great combination.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Well I can understand that. Yeah, yeah, so, and sometimes
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you don't even think about.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: You You have earlier in the day delicious.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: And then later you have ice cream, and then you know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and so you think there's something wrong. I'm not digesting
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: it the way that I was.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: But really it's because the jalapenos are eating a hole
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: in your stomach and then the ice cream's just flowing
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: through it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I probably have just offered way too much this morning
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: about stuff.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's been an appropriate amount.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, well let's put it this way. It's not
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: any lower than appropriate. No, Yeah, I've definitely pushed it
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: to the edge.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I think you're.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Probably obliterated the line, but there's certainly I haven't fallen
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: short on the other side. Right, So, Yes, the Masters
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: is underway, and hopefully Ashley, we'll just have seventeen pimento
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: sandwiches today just to eat.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Through the processes, eat on through it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Good. I'm tired of hearing about it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I am too.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Actually, all right, let's get into the Mariners. It's been
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a while since we've led the show with the Mariners,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and there's really nothing positive to discuss about this team
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: right now. We will do Mariners morning after, but a
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: five game losing streak here, four and nine start to
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the season, and they can't hit. They just can't hit.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: They are just awful at the plate right now, and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: their defense is picking just the worst times possible to
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: make gaffes and it's pretty much leading to the only
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: runs our pitchers are giving up. And so that to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: me is one encouraging signs because our starting rotation looks
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: just as good as advertised, and with the emergence of
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock, better than advertised so far this season. And
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I do believe that the defense, as I said back
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in the spring, is an issue. I told you that then,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And I do believe that hitting lefties is an issue
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: because this organization can't seem to find, no matter how
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: good a resume, that they pour over anybody that can
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: hit left handed pitching on the rig. And so I
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: think those are two issues facing the team right now.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: But I don't really see anymore. Like I said, starting
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: pitching looks great. Both Penn's been really good so far
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: this year, and I think they'll even get better. And
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I do think the defense will get better as well.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: And it really comes down to this. I mean, I
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: don't want to do this thing. I mean, every year
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: we do this and every year, Wait, I have to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: defend that. I'm a knit's early guy. Like everybody else
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that follows baseball religiously is an I'm early guy, Like
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: everybody in baseball is an I'm early guy. Hell, we
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: were talking with Jim Bowden last year on July fifteenth,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: before the trading deadline, and he said, it's early. I mean,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: that's early than what is April ninth right now. But
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get into.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: This two weeks, yeah, from the start of the season.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to get into that again. And
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do this every day for the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: month of April. I'll just boil it down to this.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: If you really think that Julio Rodriguez, Josh Naylor, and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Kyl Raley are combined one thirty hitters, then I would panic. Yeah,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: if you really think that those three guys went from
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: superstar to burgeoning superstar and All Star and then the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: off season whatever they did turn them into the three
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: worst hitters in the American League. If you believe that,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: then I would panic if I were you, I don't
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: feel any different leak at four and nine as I
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: did at four and six. Quite frankly, I mean, this
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: can be made up in a week. There are twenty
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: five weeks left in the season. I mean, you have
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a great week, you go five and one, six and zero,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and you're out of the hole with twenty four weeks
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: to go. And don't tell me they're not capable of it,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: because I have a starting pitching that typically doesn't give
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: up more than two or three runs a night. So
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the offense, I believe will come around. Because Josh Naylor's
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: a two to eighty career hitter and Kyl Rawley reached
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: superstar status last season, He's not gonna go from sixty
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: homers to six, right, And even before he was a
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: superstar last year, he was still a really good player
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: who had thirty thirty five homer potential and was a
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: middle of the order guy that you could count on.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And Julio always picks it up in the second half,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and we hoped it would be different in the first
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: half this year, and we are still seventy games away
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: from the end of the first half, for goodness sake,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and so he still has a chance to turn this
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: thing around. So I would just say, and I express
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: concerns for the team. At the beginning of the year,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I had a high wind total for him, but I
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: express concerns. I'm not just sitting here just giving you
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the company line for the Seattle Mariners. Buggy didn't agree
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: with me in spring when I said I'm worried about
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the defense, but I was worried about the defense, and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I'm still worried about the defense. And it's very well
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: documented that whatever right handed hitter they bring in to
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: dominate left handed hitters never works. So until they can
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: prove they've found the right guy, I'm gonna worry about
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that too. But those are not things that are going
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: to keep this team from They might keep them from
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a being as good as they possibly can be, but
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: it's not going to suddenly make them a team that
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: wins four out of every thirteen games. This thing can
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: be turned around in one week's time, and I suspect,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, you have one of those three big hitters,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and I'll put a Rosarna in there as well. He
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: hadn't had a home run yet. He's got a batting
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: average that's decent, but he hadn't had a home run.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: One of those four guys is hot. We've lost seven
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: of nine games by one run, all right. When you're
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: playing one run baseball, one guy hot, especially the right guy,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: can make all the difference in the world. One of
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: those guys is hot. We are six and seven right now.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Two of them are hot. We're probably eight and five.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: All three of them are hot. We're probably sitting here
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: at eleven and two because of how many one run games,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: because of how good the starting pitching has been. But
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: it just turns out that they're all They all stink
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: right now. If you think that that's them and that's
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: going to be them, panic, I would really worry because
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the heart of our order went from being spectacular too
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: awful overnight in one off season. I can't believe it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: It's never happened in the history of baseball. But Cal
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Raley stinks, and Julio Rodriguez stinks, and Josh Naylor stinks
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and Randy O. Rose Arena is only a singles hitter
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: right now who plays terrible defense. If those are things
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: that you believe are real and that they are going
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to persist, give up on the season because they're not
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: going to turn it around. They won't be This is
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: our record, this is who we're gonna be. If those
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: four guys continue to be the worst hitters in the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: American League, that's us. I just don't believe it. I
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: don't think you should believe it. I don't think Ashley
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: believes it. I guarantee you Bucky doesn't believe it. That's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the biggest guarantee on the face of the earth that
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Bucky doesn't believe it. And I think and it might
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: probably is not gonna happen overnight, but it'll start trickling
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: that way. Somebody's gonna break through, and once those guys
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: start hitting, it'll be contagious throughout the entire lineup. I
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: think we're gonna go eight and five over our next
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: thirteen games, get back around the five hundred mark. We're
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: all gonna believe, breathe a little bit easier, and then
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you still have five months of baseball left to prove
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: that you are the best team in the American League West.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: So I have zero panic right now, none because the
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: reason where four and nine is because our four best
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: hitters are awful right now and they're not going to continue.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: To be Yeah, I would say I don't. I don't
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: have panic either, I just have an annoyance. Hm hm
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: it's I mean yesterday's game when it ended up, Yeah,
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: I was just like, are you kidding me? And there
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: was a bad word thrown in there too, and that's
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: that's the problem is. And we talked about this yesterday.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I just want to watch us win a game. That's
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: all I'm asking. And I don't care. It doesn't need
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: to be an eleven to two win. It can be
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: a three to two win.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: I just want to see one of these one run
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: games come out our way because I'm sick of watching
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: us lose.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: And that's it.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: And that's not a panic. Oh my god, We're never
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: going to be good. It's just a gross This is gross.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: I was excited for the season to start. This is
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: a different any way for it to start to be going,
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: let's f and fix it, that's it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when it starts at the beginning of the year,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: it makes it. It dramatizes it so much absolutely, because
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: there will be a I don't know if there's going
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: to be another four or nine stretch this year, but
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: there will be a four and six stretch a couple
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: more times during the course of the season. No matter
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: how good you are, the Dodgers are going to have
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: one or two of those. You know, that's just baseball,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: that's just the way it works. And every single hitter,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: no matter how good they are, Babe Ruth, goes through
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: an extended slump at some point, at a few points
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: during the course of the season. Go look at Aaron
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Judge's numbers. I mean, Aaron Judge had one of the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: best seasons in baseball history as a overall hitter last year,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: but he had stretches where he couldn't put the ball
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: in play even I mean, Babe Ruth, you name it,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Ted Williams. They all have stretches. You just don't expect
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: all four of your best guys to get off to
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that kind of a start and then at any point
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: have them be as bad as what they are. And
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: then it gets exaggerated because it's at the beginning of
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the year. So I think they're going to turn it around.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I just started an interview with Jim Bowden two days ago.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: He said, you have nothing to worry about that. That's
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the way I feel. Criticize them all you want. They
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: are playing crappy baseball right now, except for the pitchers.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't even lump them into this. The offense,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the defense atrocious so far this season. The base running
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: has been bad. I don't think Dan Wilson's been all
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: that great. I mean, you're off to an eight and eighteen,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: You're off to a four and nine start. I mean,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: if we're eight and eighteen, okay, we might have to
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: consider doing something because I guarantee you that organization twenty
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: five games into the season is not going to stand
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: for this. They have way too much invested, they have
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: way too much belief in this roster. They're going to
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: start blaming somebody, whether it's the manager I hope it's
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: not the hitting instructor, or a couple of veteran pieces
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: that are on this roster right now, and they'll shake
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: it up. There's no way they're going to stand for this,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: not this year. No and so. But I'd sit here
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: and I'd bet good money that there's no way that
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: this is going to continue even into the immediate future.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: So I'm not worry read at all, like, not panicked
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: at all, but I will acknowledge they're crappy right now.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Criticize them all you want, but again, unless you think Julio, Cal, Josh,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: and Randy went from being all star caliber players to
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: superstar caliber players and are now the four worst hitters
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: in baseball, if you feel that way.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd be panicking big time.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: If I panicking, I just don't. And actually, when they
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: do break out, it's probably going to be an inferno,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I hope. So so we did get a.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Text from the two five to three that said, I'd
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: rather watch Chuck's kolenoscopy from than this Mariner's offense.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's another thing that nobody is considering. Wait
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: till Friday. Yeah, once I get cleared out in the offense,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're probably worried about me.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: That's probably true. Once you're cleaned up, Yeah, they're going
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: to clean up.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Once I get a good bill of health, once I
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: reach out my hospital window and go to Cal like
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: thumbs up, we're all good lo in.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: That's probably what it is.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Really worried about me, But just got to be prepared.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: That if they if they start going on a hitting
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: streak and then Slimp have to.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I'll do it every Friday. If it needs we need
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: to do it, I'll go on a lifelong liquid diet.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: There you go, that's fine with me.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: You go eaton what else are you eading?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I really feel moved by this. They really do love me.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: They do.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't even know if they even liked coming
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: on the show, but it turns out they love me.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: We've got a soft spot for you.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: All right, let's find out what's on tap? What's on tap?
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: What's on tap? Master's underway from Augusta. Yeah, they're having
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: it at Augusta this year, Oh are they? Yes. We're
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: gonna have updates starting at seven twenty every hour throughout
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the course of our broadcast day. We are two weeks
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: till the NFL Draft, and we're going to go heavy
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: on Draftmas today. As a matter of fact, we're adding
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: one extra bit because I want to give you a
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Draft miss catalog because I'm not going to be here tomorrow,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: so we'll have the Draftmas catalog. We'll talk about wide
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: receivers today. We're going to have our mockumentarian on today.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: That will be rht Lewis from NFL dot Com. At
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: nine o'clock we'll have stocking stuffers and of course our
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: new feature, Santa's Backsack, which he should probably come to
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: me to the hospital and get that checked out.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he probably should.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: We're going to do that at eight thirty today talk
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: about running backs and cornerbacks. We'll also hear from Rob rang,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millen, and Mike McDonald. Before the show comes to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: a close. Ron Francis has stepped down. We certainly have
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to talk about that. We love Ron Francis, you know,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: and at least our experiences with him around here, and
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: yet this is the right move. This was the architect
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: of what looks to be a mediocre hockey team right now,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and so I don't look at him as the scapegoat
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: or the fall guy or anything like that. I just
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: think they're going to make some really uncomfortable, significant moves
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: this offseason because they're not happy with where the organization
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: is right now. And it probably starts with Ron Francis
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: and doesn't end with Ron Francis. But we'll find some
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: time to talk about that later in the show. Kraken
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: can be eliminated from playoff contention. Tonight, it'll take on
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Vegas here at home at seven o'clock and in Major
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: League Baseball, we will talk about the Mariners. Mark macklamore
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: is going to join us today at eight o'clock today,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: former Mariner, also Ranger broadcasters, so he'll be able to
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: shed some light on some of this stuff. Plus we'll
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: talk about each heiro as a big night tomorrow night
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: over there at T Mobile, So he'll join us today
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: at eight. But coming up next more on the Mariners.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: It's Mariners Morning After, Chuck and Ashley with you on
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. We have Mariners
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Morning After to get going here. We do it after
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: every Mariner's game. By the way, it's not reckless of
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: breakfast today, and I don't even think this is a
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: reckless at breakfast topic. I have a big Mariners trade
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going to propose later today. Oh do you think
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: it's I think that we should make it right now,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: right now, right now, And so I'm going to do
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: that today in the ABC's at seven thirty. It's gonna
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: be the entire segment ABC's of the MS will be
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: my proposed trade to right right now, right then, Okay,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: but let's talk about yesterday's loss, Ay three, nothing lost,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: talking about the trade to the Texas Rangers, in which
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Brian Wu was not his typical self. I mean, there
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: were a lot of balls that were hit hard against
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: him yesterday. There were some good defensive plays, including ref Snyders.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I told your ref Schneider is good for that. He'll
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: make some spectacular plays out there. Don't look at his age.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: That dude keeps himself in great shape, and he has
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: made it. He's got quite the impressive highlight film of
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: his defense over the years. And he made another great
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: one yes and made his first great one as a Mariner.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: He's been dhing mostly, but that dude can play some outfield.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: So he chased one down at the wall and right field,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and so Brian Wu got saved a little bit by
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: his defense, but he also got hurt by his defense
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: once a again. Brendan Donovan, not playing well at third base,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: gets caught on the back leg, which collapses them. Can't
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: make a strong throw. That's all about footwork. And then
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: of course the bases are loaded, you bring the infield
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: in and Brandon Nemo it wasn't routine, but he gave
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: you the ground ball that you needed and it just
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: didn't turn out well. Slow ground ball. Joe charges comes
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: home and Garber can't hold on. It's beyond his glove.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Janson scores, Smith crops is home. Two runs are in
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: for the Rangers and they take the lead on a
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: dribbler to first base.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: It was the right play by Connor Joe to come home, yes,
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: but thrown on the run and Garber's trying to stretch
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: and it's just beyond his reach.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: Garboth trying to be a first baseman right there on that.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Plange, Jay and g and Aaron all in on the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: highlight from Mariner's television. It was zero zero. So at
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: that point the air by Connor Joe, if that name
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: don't ring a bell more on that in the moment,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: made the score two to nothing. Before the end of
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the inning, it was three to nothing. Will gets hit
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: for three runs that inning, but I think only one
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: of them counted as an earned run, and even that
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: didn't have to score if not for the misplay by
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Connor Joe. I brought this up yesterday, and I really
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: am not trying to make excuses for this team. They
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: are playing like garbage right now, and they have earned
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: their four and nine record at this point in the season.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: But I said this yesterday. When you are going bad,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: stuff like this happens here. You have Roablaze goes on
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the injury list. You want to give Josh Naylor a
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: day off so that he can, you know, get out
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: of his own head, which I don't think he really
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: ever gets in his own head now. And then so
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: you bring Connor Joe up. You're facing a lefty veteran player.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: You put him at first base. It's not his natural position,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: and so you're taking a little bit of hit defensively.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: You know that, And sure enough, the biggest play of
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the game, bases loaded one out infield in and the
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: ball goes right to the newbie who's probably got a
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: few butterflies playing in his first game as a Mariner.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe not, but I would imagine he's not one hundred
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: percent settled over there playing his secondary or tertiary position.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: He comes in Andie's right, it was the right play
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: to come home. It should have been a routine get
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: him out at home kind of play for a good
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: first baseman. And he throws it wildly and you lose
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's like when you're going badly, they will the
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: ball finds its way to the last guy you want
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: the ball hit two. And that's exactly what happened in
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the game yesterday. And Brian Wu is just such a battler.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: He probably gets out of that inning without any runs
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: and we're still playing at zero zero. Maybe we would
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: have never scored, because that seems to be where the
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: offense is right now. But nonetheless, it's just another example
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: of man, when it's going bad, it really goes bad.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Three nothing ended up being final score. Offense could not
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: score against McKenzie gore and company. Another left hander ties
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: this offense and nots. Dan Wilson had a lot to
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: answer for after the game.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you want to hear that Dan Wilson audio,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: don't you There we go, I.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Thought Brian Wu pitch a good ballgame and and you're
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: able to get to him on the in the third
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: inning or in the fifth inning there and and you know,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: just uh aided by by the error and uh, you know,
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: we just weren't able to come back from that.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: So you know, we got some work to do. And
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: It's it's still very very early, and we'll be ready
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: to go on Friday. You know, it's not for lack
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: of trying to make adjustments and and working at it.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know, we'll just continue to.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: Uh to to look to to find the things that
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: that we think can make a difference, and and uh,
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: you know we've been doing that and I'll be continue
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: to do what we do.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I think offensively. You know, that's the staff that we
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: have is.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Is trying to turn everything you know, over just to
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: see what we can you know, make a difference.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: And and we'll keep doing that.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, some of the you tell you about they and
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: even some of the stuff in the field.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: You guys are so built into doing the process every
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: day and the results will come, but the results just
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: haven't come the way you want. How does how do
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: you balance that when guys are starting to kind of
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: question what the results are?
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, these are always tough stretches for a lot
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: of reasons. And I think that's one of the reasons
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: is that you you don't see the results that you want,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: and you know, it becomes difficult to know what adjustments
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: to make. But I think you know, I know this
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: team in that clubhouse, and I know what they're about.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: They know what they're about more importantly, and I just
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: know that this is a team that will be back.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Dan Wilson after the game last night, four nine start
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: scored just three runs in three games against the Texas
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Rangers and lost every single one of them. That's five
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: losses in a row. And I know people want to
• 28:51

• 28:57

• 28:59
  Speaker 1: and this is a dramatic example. It is April ninth.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: For goodness, there is so much time to make this up.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: And as I mentioned in our first segment, you have
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: one great week and you're out of the hole. There
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: are twenty five weeks to go.

  Speaker 3: The season just started two weeks ago today.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, so yeah, I believe. Yeah. Frustrating as hell. I'm
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: sick of having to do this every damn year with

  Speaker 1: this team. But nonetheless, they'll try to turn it around
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: starting tomorrow at home, just a four game homestand just

• 29:41
  Speaker 1: so we'll talk Actually, Ashley, we'll talk more about that tomorrow.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: But a day off today, and my goodness, hopefully you know,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: they'll get some smelling salts or something to kind of
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: turn this thing around because it's gross. A kicking the butt,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: nice kicking the butt would be nice? Yeah, yeah, all right,

  Speaker 1: some of that. Right last night, Softy and Hugh Millan
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: had a chance to catch up with Mike McDonald right
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: here on our airwaves Sports Radio ninety three point three
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: KJR FM. We're going to replay a portion of it
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: for you in case you missed it. You can check
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: out the rest at ninety three to three KJR dot com.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: But let's pick up that conversation. When our own Hugh
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Millan asked Mike McDonald how much his life has changed
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: since winning the Super Bowl.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: Well, I think the thing that's not anticipated is do
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: you feel the same I feel like I feel like
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: I'm the same same guy. It's it's it's it's it's
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: I guess it's you know, sobering to a certain extent
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: or like humbling in the fact that, uh, you know,
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: it really makes you search and think about, like, well,
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: what what actually is important in what we're doing.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: And why do we do it the way that we
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: do it?
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: You know, what is actually fulfilling us and like in
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: our lives and I know, like professionally, you know, you're
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: you're proud of like the what we've been able to
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: build here thus far of like of how we go
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: about our life, you know, like you know, we call
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: it like defending our way of life, or you know,
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: our culture and what it's like to be a seahawk
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: and come to work, you know, come to the vMac
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: every day, and you know, the energy that we're providing
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: to our community like things like that. That's, uh, that's
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: what gets you excited about what being able to do.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: But but in.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: Terms of who you feel, like who you are, I
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: feel like the same guy.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's good or bad.
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: Well, look, Mike, you mentioned it obviously the other day
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: when you were asked about repeating. I think you said,
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: to paraphrase you, it's like, hey, you know, this group
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: isn't repeating. This is a different group, right, This is
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: going to be a different football team than what we
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: had a year ago. And that's that's part of the messaging,
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: that's part of this process. But I'm just wondering, and
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: Coach Hugh and I were talking about this on the
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: year and off the year that there's only been you know,
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: two guys that have gone back to back in the
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: last twenty five years, and it's Bill Belichick and Andy Reid,
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: you know, Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Have you looked at all?
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: Are there any lessons to be learned those teams that
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: could not find a way to win consecutive titles when
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: the roster did turn over even just a little bit.
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: Have you noticed anything? Have you learned anything about what
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: it takes to actually pull that off and maybe some
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: things to do and maybe some things to avoid.
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: Well, I think it's like any new venture, you know,
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: I'll us go into the playoffs the first time, us
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: going to a first super Bowl. It's hey, let's let's
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: do our research, Let's do our homework. You know, there's
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: people that I've talked to that have defended Super Bowls
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: and things like that or been you know, familiar with
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: people that have, and so trying to understand, like, you know,
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: the challenges that we're going to do with you know,
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: mentally speaking with a new new team. Those are some
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: things right now, like messaging wise, that we're still working
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: through and that we're going to We're going to continue
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: to work through that really throughout the whole season. But
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: like I guess by counter to that would be, you know,
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: you could have you could have listed, you could have
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: rattled off anyone, could have rattled off everyone on our
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: team that haven't hasn't won a Super Bowl last year,
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: and that could have been a point of criticism, which
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: we've been completely fair because it was true. But we
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: didn't really spend our time worrying about what we haven't
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: accomplished yet. We really spent So I think the lesson
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: learned is we spend all of our time on like
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: the day to day basis inputs process, how we want
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: to be, how we want to operate, you know, the
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: relationships are trying to build and put our time and
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: energy there. I think I think you kind of apply
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: that principle to like this process is like you said,
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: it's a new team, but how we go about our
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: business of what we're trying to achieve like day in
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: and day out. I think that mentality stayed the same,
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: and then you kind of let the results, you know,
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: to clear on the problems that you're gonna have to solve,
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: you know, as the journey kind of unwinds and unfolds
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: throughout the season. So that's that's the way we're looking
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: at it.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald with this, And Mike, you said in that
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: answer that that there was you know, a number of
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: your players you know, hadn't hadn't won a Super Bowl.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: And I think, obviously I'm going to jump right into
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: your quarterback and it seems I thought it was absurd
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: throughout the season, but there was this narrative, Sam Darnold
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: can't win the big game.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: It's ignorant to.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: All the big games that he had in fact won.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: But my my question is in two parts, you always
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: had his back. It was clearly sincere. But what what
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: was the game or the time in a game where
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: you said, you know what here's that. Here's the extra
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: stamp of certainty that I have about Sam, you know,
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: as as his head coach. And then and then maybe
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: just touch on the personal side of how gratifying that
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: was for you to see him. You know, if there
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: was a monkey, he got it off his back. What
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: about the way things ended for Sam Darnold last year.
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: I know, I know, Sam is such a great job
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: of block and stuff out, but you know, we get
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: the questions as the coach every week, and so we're
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: we're exposed a lot of the narratives and and rightfully so,
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: you know, I mean there's a lot of great interests
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: the league and everything like that and kind of comes
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: with the territory too. So but to see him, you know,
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: achieved the goal, you know, it's a you know, to
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: get to get our team to that point, to play
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: a great game. Happy, I guess you kind of separate
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: the person and the player at that point, and knowing
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: not just on what type of guy Sam is and
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: what he did for us and our team, and like
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: the person he was and the teammate that he was,
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: to the rest of the guys on the team, you're
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: bursting with pride and enjoyed.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: For him Mike McDonald yesterday with our own David Softy
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Maller and Hugh Millan the QB One. If you want
• 37:01

  Speaker 1: lot of good, juicy stuff in there, Glad we could
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: replace some of it for you right here on Chuck
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: and Buck. Coming up next, though we haven't talked any
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: draftmaths today, we're going to crack out the catalog talk
