  Speaker 1: Have some fun, have some fun. Mariners win last night
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: by a final score of seven to one over the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: That's more like it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Speaking of fun, Yeah, we're gonna have Mariner this morning
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: after and get into some of the gritty details of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the game at six thirty. And yet it's kind of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: hard not to discuss it. It seems to be the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: top story of the day to get back on the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: right track. And speaking of being on the right track,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Julio Rodriguez and Josh Naylor have certainly heated up here
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: as of late. Throw Randy a rose arena into the mix.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Last night on a night in which two starting pitchers
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: we knew were very good, and we knew it was
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: going to be a battle for runs, and it was
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: at one point one to nothing twins in the sixth inning,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and you were wondering if we were ever going to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: get to Joe Ryan, and you kept staring at that
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: pitch count and you're like, that's pretty low. I don't know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: there's a chance we might not see anybody else tonight
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: but Joe Ryan. So we better start figuring them out.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And then to get to the end of the game,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Ashley and to have won seven to one and see
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: that Julio, Josh and Randy had eight hits in the game,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: six of them for extra base hits, scored four runs,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and knocked in six runs last night.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: How did that happen?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I mean it just like it's when the snowball started
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: rolling down hill. It avalanched by the end of this game. Uh,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and the Mariners end up with a feet on the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: desk kind of win here. Yeah.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: When Julio had the double in the ninth and Aaron
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: said that's his third double of the night, I went, wait,
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: what because I saw it but it didn't register, you know.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: And and to see all that Naylor was putting together
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: when he did that, when he had that home run
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: and the just nonchalant batflip, like yeah, I just did that.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: That was so nonchalant. That was very showy.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: The way he did it.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: Stilla's nonchalant like it's showy, but he actually he does
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: it like no big deal.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And uh.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: And then with Randy and his and his double in
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: the seventh was it the seventh and sliding headfirst into
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: second and hanging on to the base.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: And that's a that's called a hustle double. Yeah.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: They said that several times.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And then and you can see the speed and that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and that guy when he you know, he kind of
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: picks and chooses when.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: He goes all out, but shows last night obviously the
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: night before, you know, I don't know what happened between
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: home and second, but he wasn't going to make that
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: same mistake because he was in there easily on a
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: play that not a lot of guys are getting to
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: on second base.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that was huge. But those three guys in
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the middle of your order sort of carried the night,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and then you got great pitching as well. But we
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: started this season off in such frustrating fashion, and once
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: again you sit there and wonder why the Mariners can
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: never start well offensively, and you don't want to hear
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the effing words marine layer because that has nothing to
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: do with it. You know, maybe you don't hit as
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: many home runs, but there's no reason why you can't
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: hit the ball hard. And our three best hitters just
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: were not hitting whatsoever. And Cal started to pick it up,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: as he had a bad night last night at the plate.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: But obviously he's up to seven home runs at this point.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: But Josh and Julio are stinging the baseball. I mean,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: when you think about it, considering Julio's classic horrible starts
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that he gets off to I mean, he's really off
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to the best start of his career to be sitting here.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: We're not even to May yet, and he's hitting two
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: fifty six and I think has just hit into a
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: lot of bad luck as well. And as the temperatures
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: heat up, Julio tends to heat up, and so he's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: not off to that terrible start that we're used to.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, for him to get to May and be
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: around two fifty feels like a breakthrough to me. And
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: so yeah, it's now starting to come together. You know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: not all of them have to hitting the same night,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: but when three of them do in the middle of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: your order, you're probably gonna win the game because you're
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: pitching's that good. And that was the case last night.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So it took a little while to get it popping.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: But by the end of the night, I mean, it
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: kind of looked like a mauling in Minnesota. Seven runs
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: on twelve hits and a team high for extra base
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: hits in a game this season. And so nice win
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: for the MS last night, no question about it. Even
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: though it took a bit to pop.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it did.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: And I think as far as Julio being you know, better,
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: having a better start. I think we'd be talking about
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: it more if the Mariners were over five hundred. That's
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: been the problem, right, is because the team has struggled
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: so much that you're not noticing. I mean, we've brought
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: it up a couple times that we didn't even have
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: a chance to talk about Julio's clutch moments that sent
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: us to extra innings a couple times because we ended
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: up losing in the extra innings. So it wasn't about
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: the clutch moment where Julio stepped up. So it hasn't
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: been about It has been about the struggle and then
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: the team struggling. And so to see him now actually
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: doing what he's doing is awesome.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, Well, and I don't know what is what's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: going on with the balls hit right at him, why
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: he has to make such dramatic catches now. But I
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's knuckling on him or whatever the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: case may be. But he's really only he's misplayed a
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: couple of them. But maybe it wasn't his fault, but
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: he certainly is. It's been an adventure for him, let's
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: put it that way, in center field here as of late.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: But yes, three doubles last night that did kind of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: set the tone. And then Naylor with the big three
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: run homer in the eighth inning. I mean that happened
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in the eighth inning. I mean that game was it
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: felt by the ninth like, oh man, we don't have
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to sweat this one, but you were trailing one to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: nothing and you had to have two clutch hits to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: scratch out anything against Joe Ryan in this game, Naylor
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: with the excellent hit the other way, which was a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: two out rally started by Julio and then Cole Young.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard the commentators from Minnesota,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: but there was a clip that was making its way
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: around social media and Minnesota's got to see two nights
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: of Cole Young. And he made an error last night
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: which was very not Cole Young, but the he got
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that last he got that RBI hit, and the play
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: by play guy goes, the American League is going to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: deal have to deal with this guy for a long
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: long time, and the color analyst was like, yeah, he
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: is special. So I mean, we've talked about him a
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: lot here in the last year and a half and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: in the offseason, I think some people had some questions
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: about him. I think that was so unfair a young
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: player kind of being thrust into a playoff caliber lineup
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: early in his career because of an injury. Yeah, he
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: had some he had more lows last year than he
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: had highs. But I was just really excited about him
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: coming into this year. And if you're not noticing it,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: because it's not glaring, it's not anything. I mean, he's
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: not hit seven home runs, you're not hit you know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: knocked in twenty two runs. He doesn't steal a lot
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: of bases. It's more of just that steady eddy kind
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of player, the high floor kind of player that they've
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: projected him to be. But for you to be in
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Minneapolis for two days and have the analysts on the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: other team say, oh gosh, this kid is special. I mean,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I think we got something pretty special here in Cole Young. Yeah.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: And it's and it's you look down our lineup right
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: now and think, oh gosh, it's there's not a there again.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: There's not a safe space, which is how we kind
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: of felt last year. There was no safe space. And
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: everybody seems to want to come through, and everybody seems
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: to be able to come through on any given moment. Yeah,
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: we're having you know, the game on what day, I
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: don't know what date is, Monday. Yeah that was blah,
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: but it was a bland night, right. So, but you
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: look at what's happening more often than not now, and
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: it is that you've got all sorts of people throughout
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: the lineup coming through and Cole Young seems to be
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: one of the most consistent.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, he's off to a tremendous start this year.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I mean he is. He's playing gold glove defense. Despite
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the error last night. I had a couple of criticisms
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of him the night before. That's gonna go with having
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a twenty one year old, twenty two year old whatever.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: He is playing every day for you. But you can
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: just see, I mean his hitting approach. The line drives
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that he hits, I mean, sprays the ball all over
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the field. He's got more power than what we realized.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: And he's also a guy that played shortstop his entire
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: young life and had to transition to second not that
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: long ago, and he's already playing a gold glove caliber
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: second base. So it's fun to watch. Plus he's such
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a nice young man and he still looks like you
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: know he's getting ready to knock on your door and
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: ask your daughter to the prom. You know, he's kind
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: of got that baby face. I mean they showed his
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: baby picture yesterday is like when he was seven years
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: old hitting off a tee and it's like, there's really
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: not much difference.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he just got taller, got taller and a.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Little thicker, but he pretty much looks like the same kid.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: So you do kind of forget when they put that
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: major league hat and uniform on how young they are
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and how inexperienced they are at certain things. But for
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: him to have advanced as much as he has from
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: not being put on the playoff roster a year ago
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to having after two days of exposure, opposing teams analysts saying,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: oh gosh, this guy's going to be special. That's that's encouraging. Yeah,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and he's not even our best guy kind of named
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Cole in the organization apparently. Okay, Yeah, so then there's
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: that as well, because the other guy's coming and they're
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: probably going to make a fantastic duo at Second and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Short for a decade to come. We already know Colt's
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: locked up, and I wouldn't be surprised if Cole's going
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to get locked up, he might be the next one.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about our pitchers, but it might be Cole
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Young is the next one that they dangle.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: The long term deal two.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: And then just kind of locked down second base and
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: shortstop for the next decade to come here in Seattle.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: You've already done it with Emerson and we haven't seen
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: anything from him. So if you did it with Cole Young,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you know, at some point during the course of the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: regular season, I'd sign up for that. I'd sign up
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: for those two being our shortstop and second baseman for
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the next day game.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: And how much trouble our announcer is going to have
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: with their names with Cole and Colt get mixed up
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: all the time.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: So Mariners get the win last night by a final
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: score of seven to one over the Minnesota Twins, and
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: so now just a game under five hundred, and they
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: have the opportunity to finally get back to that five
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: hundred mark with a day victory against the Twins. Here today,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: it's a ten to forty first pitch and it is
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: another terrific matchup that will break down for you a
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: little bit later on with Mariners morning after. But I
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: will say this, you got I mean, nice job Dan
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: with the bullpen last night. I mean, Logan I thought,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: came out at the right time. Let him get through
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the five innings, and he was really good last night.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Got through the five innings. Then Bizardo, Spire, Brash, I
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: mean it was almost picture perfect. Then you built a
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: huge lead going into the bottom of the ninth and
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: so you audibled out of Munos and you went to
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Chriswell to close it out, and there you have the victory.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: But you know, I know you're in Minneapolis. I know
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you don't listen to me anyway, but I'm just gonna
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: say it.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: Everyone's available today.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Just because Bizardo, Spire and Brash pitched yesterday doesn't mean
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that they can't come back and pitch today. You're gonna
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: have two full days basically between games because you don't
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: play again until Friday night. So you will be done
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: playing this afternoon and won't play on a Wednesday. You'll
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: be done on a Wednesday afternoon and won't be playing
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: again until Friday night. That's almost two full days of recovery.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: So if you need Bizardo and you need Spire, and
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: you need brash. They are available, Yes, just because they
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: pitched last night doesn't mean they're not available. Let's get
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: this win. Let's get back to five hundred. Let's come
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: home with a five hundred record and put that horrible
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: start behind and not think about it again, and we
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: can basically start anew two days off back to five
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: one hundred. Ready to go at home in front of
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the crowd, City Connect Jerseys.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: On seventy five degree weather, the.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Season gets underway. Julio's gonna love the seventy five degree
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: weather to hit in. Luis is probably gonna love having
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: seventy five degree weather to pitch in going forward. But
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: everybody is available. I think let's just get this win. Yes, please,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: So George Kirby is starting tonight against the or today
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: against the Twins, and you still have Forrer, who you
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: didn't have to use. And ideally George Kirby goes into
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the eighth and Ferrer, you know, relieves in the eighth
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to get you out of the inning, and then you
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: go to Munos in the ninth. But if you need them,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: they are there. I do not want to see. Oh well,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: he pitched seventeen pitches last night, so we only calculate
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: inspire to throw thirteen, so if he drove seventeen, it's
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: clearly unavailable. No, I don't want any of that garbage.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Let's get this win today. Everybody's available, all hands on deck,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: and let's get Donovan back at home on Friday with
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a five hundred record, and we can put this garbage,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: that four and nine garbage start behind us and we
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: basically kind of get to start all over. Yes, and
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: we're only a game out of first place this morning.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: By the way, there's that as well, because no one
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: else has gotten off to a good start in the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: American League West, and so considering how poorly it started
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: again this year, to have fixed that by game number
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: thirty two and gives you a chance for you know,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: basically a second start at a brand new season.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: You have that opportunity.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: But let's get that win today and make Friday feel
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: really good, feel like we're kind of relaunching the entire
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: season on Friday. One last thing, I'll mention Munnos better today.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you're up one thousand to one. Okay,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: do you understand me? He does not need to sit
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: for five days at a time and not pitch. That's
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: what gets them in trouble. So no matter what happens today,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Munyo's pitches. Okay, yes, please, okay, yeah, I don't care
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: if we're trailing one hundred to one or leading one
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: hundred to one, Munyo's pitches today. All right, let's find
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: out what's on tap for the rest of the show.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: What's on TEP, what's on TEP. Ryan Healey will join
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: us today at nine o'clock, so we'll get his thoughts.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: We also have ABC's of the M's coming your way
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: in the seven o'clock hour today. We are in the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: drafter math, of course, the aftermath of the NFL draft,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: so still chewing on that. What happened this past week,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: still kind of you know, I put on a little
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: weight during draft, miss, very obvious, all the cookies and
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the snacks, and it happens all the parties that I
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: went to, all the charcooterie, so much. Yeah, a little
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: bet of the imbibing, little more than usual. You know,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Santa's cough medicine, you know what it is. But yes,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: we are still in the draftermath. So we've yet to
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: react to the controversial Cardinals draft that they had we'll
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: do that today, plus one of the Seahawks draft picks
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: will join us. It is a sixth round to pick
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: out of Kansas. Emmanuel Henderson Junior is going to be
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: with us today at eight thirties. You'll get to know
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: him a little bit. Oh, you gotta love this story.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Out of New York. The next backup for Jets quarterback
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Geno Smith might very well be Russell Wilson.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Full circle moment right there.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, for Geno to be back with the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Jets and Russell be his backup on an organization that
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: let Sam Darnold go.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: It's so weird.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: It is so weird.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: A lot of people were joking about, you know, they
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: have to hire Pete Carroll as a special and Hard
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Knocks would have no choice but to bump the Seahawks
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and put the Jets in there. I don't know if
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: people find it as fascinating as we do, the fact
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: that those three could be together for a training camp again.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: But the dynamic in and of itself is remarkable. And
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: if you know what's really funny about it, and we
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: will talk about it at some point today at greater length,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: is Russell just suited up for the Savannah Bananas, and
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: they do this a lot. They bring celebrities on and
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the idea behind it is to surprise the crowd with
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: somebody they weren't expecting to see play baseball. And we
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: know Russell's basically so good for Russell that he played
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: for the Savannah Bananas and I hope he had a blast.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: That said, it was impossible not to see how chunky
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: They even said after he when he got out at first,
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: well that's a big boy running at you.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, I thought he was going to banana split
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: his pants. That's how heavy Russell Wilson looks right now.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: You just showed no faith in his body. I would
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: have never I wouldn't have even picked that it was
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: an athlete that they had up there, like I maybe
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: a former baseball player.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Now in this scenario, there are two people this offseason
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: that thought Russell Wilson had football left in them, and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: one of them was not Russell Wilson, because he obviously
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: thought he it's hard for him to see the riding
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: on the wall, but he had obviously seen the riding
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: on the wall. Otherwise he didn't need himself to that weight.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: No in a month and a half time. No, he
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I mean I never been like that. I think he
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: resigned himself to the fact that I'm done. Nobody's going
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: to pick me up to even be a backup anymore.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: My career is over. And then he just fork and
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: spooned it for the last month and a half. But
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the Jets and the Jets general manager obviously were the
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: only two people out there that thought that Russell Wilson
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: has some football left in him. Because man that I
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: was god smacked when I read that yesterday.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's shocking, especially, and I don't think it would
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: have been as shocking had we not seen him in
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: the Savannah Banana's.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Video, because we wouldn't have had any clue of what
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: he'd been up to.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, But seeing the Savannah Banana's video earlier in the
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: week and then seeing that, you're like, these things don't
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: match up.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when Russell looks in the mirror and is like,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I don't have any football left in me, But the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Jets still see something.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: WHOA I never thought i'd see the day I didn't either.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Dogs after Dark is this Friday, udub's spring game. Make
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: sure if you're a Dogs fan, you get out there.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: It's really important to Jed. He really wants this to
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: be a big deal. NCAA tournament will talk about this.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I just threw it in the headlines. It's probably the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: top story of the day, but I hate it. Expansion
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to seventy six teams. How stupid is that? But we'll
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: talk about it at six forty five this morning. Also,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the number one high school basketball player in America. He
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: resides here in Seattle, and he chose Tyrone Stokes, Kansas
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: And apparently you Dub was never in on him, and
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: so Tyrone Stokes is now a Jayhawk. As of yesterday,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: NBA and introduced lottery reform. They have not voted on this,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: but apparently there is a proposal under consideration and we
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: know the details of it, so obviously we're going to
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: discuss that today. NBA playoffs. Last night, Philadelphia won over
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Boston one thirteen to ninety seven. They stay alive even
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: though they're still down a game. They've won two games
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: in Boston. New York wins at home one twenty six
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: ninety seven over the Atlanta Hawks. They might have put
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: a stranglehold on the Hawks there. They're up three to two,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and the San Antonio Spurs clinched last night with a
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: one fourteen ninety five win over Portland. They now await
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the winner of Denver and Minnesota Tonight. Orlando can knock
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: out the one seed Detroit in just five games, so
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: they'll play tonight Toronto and Cleveland at Cleveland they're even
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: at two apiece, and Houston at the Lakers. The Lakers
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: can close out the Rockets in five games. Tonight, David
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Pasternak had a game winning goal for the Boston Bruins
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to keep their playoff hopes alive. They still trailed Buffalo
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: two games excuse me, three games to two, though in
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: that series. Minnesota now is up three to two on
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Dallas with a four to two win, and Edmonton stayed
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: alive last night against Anaheim. The professional leone drycidle two
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: goals and the Oilers win four to one, but they
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: still trailed the series three to two. Tonight Montreal at Tampa,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at Philly, Utah at Vegas. Two of those series
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: are even at two apiece, where Philadelphia can close out
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh a second chance at doing that tonight at home.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: All Right, Myroners morning after is next. It's Chuck and
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Ashley with you Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Final score looks like it was easy as one, two
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: three last night, but it was anything but that was
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: a great pitching matchup last night. The score was very
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: much nodded for most of the contest. At Zeros, the
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Mariners trailed one to nothing, tied it at one with
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: a out hit, took the lead on a clutch two
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: out hit, and then pulled away and he ate the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: ninth innings for a comfortable seven to one victory there
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: last night, if I have two problems with it, I
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: don't know what Dan Wilson was arguing.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was confused by that. We just needed a break.
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: We need to get out of the dugout and stretch
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: our legs a bit.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: He was really angry, and I'm like Dan, He's it
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: was a check swing, and the umpire's doing you a
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: favor by not he can't verify or confirm the check
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: swing because he has to give them a window as
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: to whether or not they want to challenge the call first,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: and then he will do the check swing. And so yes,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: he gave them a little bit more time because this
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: is still new territory. So the twins are like, we
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: want to we want to see if that's a check,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and he had to explain to them, no, I'm not
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: going to check with the first base umpire because then
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: you won't have to use the challenge. So he was
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: actually doing them a favor and Dan couldn't grasp it.
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: It was weird, Yeah, because I just thought he seemed
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: and he seemed more fired up than he should have
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: been about the situation.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Jerry fired up.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: This is what you've chosen to get all worked up about.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: And I also don't no, I pinch hit Garber over
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: ref Snyder when one strikes out one every three at
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: bets and the other one out of every four, and
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: one out of every four is not great, but it's
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: better than one out of every three. You're looking for
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: a fly ball in that situation. How's it not, ref Snider. Anyway,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: let's get to the alphabet. Jay is for Josh and Julio,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the Jay brothers coming through last night. We've talked about
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: this a couple of times, but it's come back up
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: here again. In the alphabet that walk off home run
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the bat flip from Josh Naylor. It said to me,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I am done slumping. I am out of it. That
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: was more than just you know, I had a long
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: home run that was him earlier in the game, coming
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: through with an opposite field base hit clean single with
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: two outs to score Julio who started to two out rally,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: and then that home run was and now I just
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: took your boy deep to right center field.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: I am locked in.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: And maybe you know, I don't know how long I
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: can sustain being red hot. I'm not saying that I'm
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: red hot right now, but I am done being ice cold.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: That to me was what that celebration was. And even
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the way Julio's conducting himself right now. There was a
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: lot of head shaking at the beginning of the year
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and a lot of frustration, I think, with hitting in
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: cold weather. But now he's playing with that joy. We
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: love seeing Julio play with, you know. And so I
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: think that the Jay Brothers last night kind of proved
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: to us that they realize we're done with the slump. Yeah.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: It was almost like we've seen them slow chipping away,
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: chipping away, chipping away.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: But last night was like the breakout. They were like, Okay,
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: here we are. It's like Will Ferrell in SNL.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: It was hot in there, but it was cold in
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: there for them.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: K is for Kirby and Company.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: And I'm spelling that with a K because it looks
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: good on a sign.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: So George gets the start today. Ashley and I have
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: discussed this as well already this morning. I just I
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: don't know if I in the thirty one games that
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: they've played, I want a win more than I want
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Tonight's Today's.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, today's today's.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Because it does get you back to five hundred. And
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: then you have two full fat days basically to get
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: ready to come home. And you want to talk about
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to just okay, deep breath, reset button, don't relax.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Seen you do that in the past. Before you know,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: we have a accomplished anything by just digging out of
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the hole we created for ourselves. But what a wonderful
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: time to get a win, get back to five hundred.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: In essence, have two days off, come home. Brendan Donovan
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: might be in uniform waiting for you with arms out
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: on Friday. The fan base is gonna be fired up
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: for a home stand taking on the Kansas City Royals
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: on Friday. So What a wonderful time to just get
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: out of this hole that has been created. They self
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: created their own fault. But I want to see Kirby
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: and company tonight. In other words, there is no excuse.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Everybody is available to get this win tonight. I don't
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: care if you used four guys last night. They can
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: pitch on back to back freaking days. They got two
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: days off, so spire bizarre whoever you need Brash mun
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Yokes obviously didn't pitch last night. He needs to pitch today,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: no matter what the score is. Listen to the man.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: He can't sit for a week and not pitch, and
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: you got two days off basically coming up after today's game,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: so he needs to pitch no matter what. Today. You've
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: got Frere who should be well rested tonight. So this
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: is hopefully George goes eight innings and then you just
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: hand it off to Munios. But Kirby and Company, we
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: pull out all the stops to get this victory today
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: so that we can experience that ah Friday evening at home,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: feeling like we've hit the reset button on the season.
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you get to come home tonight, You're in your
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: own bed, you get to have an off day tomorrow.
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: You get all day until your night game on Friday.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: It's gonna be like seventy degrees on Friday, seventy five
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: on Saturday, or maybe seventy on Saturday, seventy five on Sunday.
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, ideal PNW baseball conditions.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: Let's do it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: You got so much.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Time, Kyle JP, you know my Woodenville Brethren. Yeah, let's
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: just meet up at Vaughan's.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, I'll go to Vaughan's. That place is
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: so good.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Let's just have a pie and some.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Pasta. Oh why'd you say it?
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: All right? Finally, l is four because I've doubled up today.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: If you've noticed Logan love Logan.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: I thought he was great last night.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I really do. He had a jam created by others
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: and he worked out of it. Man, did I love
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: that sequence in which and this is where the Logan
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: love part comes in because he and col are best buds,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: which is why you can't go back home to Florida.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: That'll be stupid.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah you are home.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, they are just they are just best buds. And
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: it really showed in that at bat where he got
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: the strikeout with the bases loaded in one out and
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: he got the strikeout.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: And when we got the strikeout, he's like, Okay, I'm
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: out of.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: This ending because there's no way this guy's gonna get
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: it off of me. But that at bat was just
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: such a beautiful thing between two people who trust each other,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: just implicitly. Yeah, because all right, number one, you're in
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: a hole that you didn't create. Cal makes a visit great,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: do that every time. As a former pitcher. I know,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: I didn't make it to the major leagues, didn't even
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: make it to the minor leagues, but man, you get
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: so worked up when things out of your control don't
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: go the right way, especially when you're trying to pitch
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: out of a little mini slump yourself, and you just
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: need that like reassurance and Cal knowing Logan just goes out,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: it's mound visit time. You know what. I'm going to
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: remind him how great he is, that that's not that
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: traffic's not your fault. Now let's go, let's get this done,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: let's get out of it, and let's win this damn
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: ball game.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: So I love that.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Then he gets ahead in the count and he throws
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: two pitches in the dirt and Angie described it, She
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: was absolutely right, that's just complete trust. I'm going to
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: just spike two ball to see if I can get
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: him to chase, because I need a strikeout right now.
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: I want to strike out. I want to put a
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: ball in play.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I don't want them to score a single if and run,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: and I need a strikeout right now. So let's see
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: if I can get him to chase. I'm way ahead
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: in the count. Well, the only way you can do
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: that and just spike two balls like that is if
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: you just have complete confidence in your catcher, your buddy,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: your best friend. And it was it was like swatting
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: away flies with a horse's tail. I mean those were
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: nothing to Cal, and so he creates that. And then
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: there was this little discussion that Aaron and Angie had
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: earlier in the broadcast where they were talking about Logan
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: didn't really like his change up, and Cal said to him, Oh,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I like your change up. We're not going to know.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Let's not ditch your change up. I know it's new
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: to you, but I like it. I like where it's going,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and I think Logan would have given up on it.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: And Cal's like, no, no, no, no, no, let's stick with it,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: we can develop something. And Logan, I mean, he's in
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: charge of his own arsenal, but he has so much
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: faith in cal his buddy, his logan love, his logan lover.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: He's like, Okay, if you think it's worth keeping, then
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I'll keep it. And what did he strike out Tristan
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Gray with on that? I bet the most beautiful changeup
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: he's thrown his entire career.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: It was gorgeous.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: And as soon as he saw that, and it's like
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: that friendship, that trust, that faith, that camaraderie, that kinship
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: that those two guys have, there was no way the
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: next guy was going to get a hit off of him,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: and he didn't. You get out of it. You're only
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: down one run. Yeah, you didn't get the win, but
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: you also didn't get the loss. And guess what, you
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: went on to win it by a final score of
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: seven to one. But that game completely changes, I think
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: without that logan love affair right there between those two guys,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: the trust that they had in one another. I mean,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: he's he's in a huge moment in the game with
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: the bases loaded, trying to get out of that. I
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: am calling a pitch that he knows that Logan doesn't
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: have faith in But Cal's like, no, we're gonna throw
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: the change up because I have faith in it. I
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: have faith in you. And he just threw a dandy.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: It was awesome. Yeah.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: But also, wouldn't you have wanted to know what he
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: said to Cal when they got to the dugout, because
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: I bet there was something kind of.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: Snarky, because you know their relationships always snarky.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I bet there was no I guarantee
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: when he went out to the mound, He's like, hey, idiot,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: let's go.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: But then after when I bet Logan had just the best,
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: driest comment to Cal after, like, I don't even I
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: just wish I knew what it was. Yeah, yeah, to
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: be a fly on that wall.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: I guess we'll keep the change up.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, or don't ever. We never talk about this.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: All right? Coming up next, we're gonna get Reckless at
• 34:47

• 37:15
  Speaker 1: name was going to get called? And then lead us
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: all the way up to the moment you did get
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: that call from the Seahawks and John Schneider almost deadly.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: You know, I had me and my family. We went
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: to Gostors on Alabama, on the beach you know, that's
• 37:29

• 37:33
  Speaker 3: time together, you know, on watching the drive, you know,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: and you know when I got my name call, it
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: was just chaos. You know, everybody's screamy man, you know,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: and motion started going. It got the crazy new exparents.

  Speaker 1: What does family think about you moving all the way
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: to Seattle, Washington, all the way up into that upper
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: part of the Northwest. What was their reaction to learning
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: where you'd be playing your professional football? Probably with it.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: You know, I have an uncle that lives there. They've
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: been living there for about three or four years now,
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: and they're just really happy. I got the opportunity, you know,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: to go take my dream.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: What's it like to join a Super Bowl champion? I mean,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: you get to begin your career with the best team
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League? Is that intimidating? Is that exciting?
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: How would you describe that?
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: That's exciting to me. You know, I went to Alabama.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: You know, I have a national championship, So it feels
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: like fresh me all over again, you know, so it's
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: very excited. I can't wait to do it.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: As a guy growing up in Alabama. I know you
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: dream of playing at Alabama your entire life. I'm sure
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: you got to play there for a few years and
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: then the move to Kansas. What was the experience like
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: in Kansas that you felt helped prepare you for being
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: a professional football player.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: It was great, you know, I got to showcase my talent.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: You know, I got the opportunity to go out there
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: and do my thing.
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: So yes, fairs, you know.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Just being able to learn more before the NFL. You know,
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: it was a great, you know decision to go there
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Emmanuel Henderson, Junior, our guest picked for the Seahawks on Saturday,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: sixth round out of Kansas, joining us right here on
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Chuck and Buck in the mornings. And I know that
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: you explained your background as a special teams player. I mean,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: you won Big twelve Special Teams Player of the Week.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I think a couple of times talk about just your
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: special teams experience and your history with it.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: I'm well, definitely, you know, I've been starting special team
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: since my freshman year of college to my last year
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: of college, so this team is something I definitely embraced,
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: you know, in Marian's value to the table. So you know,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: I just love doing it. You know, I love everything
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: And not just returning kicks, which is sort of the
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: glamour special teams position because you might take one to
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: the house. You love being in kick coverage, don't you?
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Most definitely. You know I've been covering every year on
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: my color.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Would you rather have a touchdown or a big hit
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: that pops loose a fumble?
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: I do a big hit for the fumble. You know
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: it was for game. You know it was a game
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: changing moment, most definitely.

• 41:58
  Speaker 1: bit here this morning. Thank you very much much for
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: coming on the radio show. I hope you have a
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: great experience as a sea Ark and we look forward
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: to meeting you.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, they're appreciated. Man, I can't wait to get down.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: There all right. Emmanuel Henderson Junior joining us right here
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: on Chuck and Buck in the morning. Sixth round, Pick
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety ninth overall out of Kansas, and man,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: that's got to be music to your ears when you're
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: John Schneider and Mike McDonald when you hear about a
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: guy that four four forty that was a top prospect
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: obviously coming out of high school. If you got recruited
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: to Alabama, goes to Alabama, and yeah, you go to
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Alabama because you think I'm gonna be a star at Alabama.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the next Davonte Smith. I'm gonna win
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: the Heisman. I'm gonna catch you know, eighty balls a season.
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: Huh.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be damn Forrest Gump. I'm gonna just keep
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: running back touchdowns over and over. That's what I'm gonna
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: do at the next level. And then you know, you
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: don't quite achieve that glory status. You end up transferring
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: away to Kansas where you get a little more playing time,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: get a few more touches. You get that one year
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: to show the National Football League that I am worthy
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: of the next league. But along the way, along your path,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: the downs and the highs, the highs and lows, the
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: downs and the ups. Emmanuel Henderson Junior discovered special teams
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: and fell in love with it. Did not treat it
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: like I'm above that. I'm a pass catcher. You know,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Julio Jones didn't return kicks and punts in the National
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Football League. I'm not either. You know better than that. Yeah, No,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: you get introduced to it, and not only as a returner.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: He's a gunner on special teams. Fell in love with that.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's music to the ears of Mike McDonald.
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: I got to the years of Amy Seahawks fan.
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: I got a.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Receiver who runs a four four forty that was one
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: time considered like a four or five star recruit at Alabama,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: and he loves special teams. That means there might be
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: some receiver potential to tap into. But at the very minimum,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: what I have is a special teams monster. I don't
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: think anybody in the National Football League has been emphasizing
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: that more than what the McDonald Schneider era has been emphasizing,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: and do not sleep on how valuable that was to
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl championship run. They've talked about all three
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: phases my entire life. I'm bored with the phrase all
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: three phases because I don't really think that teams fully
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: committed themselves to all three phases. I don't know if
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I ever really did see that all three phases is
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: what won the Super Bowl for a team. It usually was, yeah,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: we are decent at all three phases, but we are
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: fantastic at there's one phase over here. But not this team,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: not the Seahawks. This year, they were outstanding in all
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: three phases, and there was no doubt. On Day number three,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: John Schneider was doubling down on trying to find guys
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: who could be not just special teams contributors, not just
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: willing to play on special teams. I want special teams monsters.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: I want guys to pair with Tyreese Knight on kick coverage.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: They're just gonna blow a mother blanker up. That's what
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: I want. And now you've got a gunner, a speechster
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: and Emmanuel Henderson Junior who's already in love with the idea.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: So that's it. You don't have to convince him that's right,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: that's right, and that's that's great. That's music to the
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: ears of John and Mike, and it's the reason they
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: drafted him. I guarantee it.
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and every Seahawks fan, as I said, should be
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: excited about that because, I mean, if you watched any
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: of last season, you know how important special teams are.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, it certainly was for that team. They were excellent.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: They were excellent in that area. There's no question about it.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: All right. Coming up next, you know, we ended up
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, just like the New England Patriots,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: but our head coach didn't have to sleep with a
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: reporter to get there. Mike Rabel and Diana Russini. There
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: is a suggestion that we're not covering this story enough. Ridiculous, Okay, weird,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: but all right, I'll address it. Sports Radio ninety three
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: point three kJ R F.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: M bam bam, bam bam.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: By the way, are you gonna go watch that Michael
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Jackson movie?
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: No, you're not, No no interest, No, I don't I
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: just don't know.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: I know that there was some controversy about things that
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: got left out and things like that, and now they're
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: saying that maybe they set it up for like the
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: second part of it, which would then be I don't know,
• 46:44
  Speaker 6: I don't, I don't know.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Just seems like being talked about everywhere it does.
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: It got positively, but it got horrible reviews. It is start,
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: but then like broke records.
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: Huh, I don't know, crazy, Yeah, it's all over the place.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know there's a lot to it. I
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: think I probably will because I do.
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: I just I don't.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: I just I kind of just categorize. I mean, that
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: guy's an entertainer for me. He's not raising my children.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: He's not going to be around my children.
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: I don't even have.
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: Children, except for your fake daughter.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: But but I just I don't. I have never put
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: athletes on a pedestal. I don't put actors, I don't
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: put singers. So I just have always kind of separated it,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: like I want to see his musical quest and I
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: get that there's some personal stuff that I probably detest,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: but I may not even know the whole story. Who knows.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: But the point is that I can kind of separate
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: the yeah.
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: And I will say this. I love his music and
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: I listen to his music.
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: I just I don't like I don't really ever watch
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: any of those music biopics.
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: It just doesn't interest me.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, yeah, No, you didn't watch Johnny Cash. No, oh,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: I think you're making a mistake.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: Probably has a lot of other movies that I have
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: to watch.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: They make to any of them, now, I'll give you that.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: But when they but the ones that are done well
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: are really done well?
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm sure they are. It's just not really my
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: cup of tea. So this isn't any different than those?
• 48:11
  Speaker 6: And then I so it had the Yeah, it's not
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: any different than the others. I just haven't okay, all right,
• 48:18
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: It does seem to be. There's some controversy around it.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: But but ma'am, what a talented person. Probably the most
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: talented person we've ever ever ever come across.
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: Y is Michael.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: Oh. Yes, and his name was Michael, So Diana Russini
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: probably slept with him at some point. So Robert Griffin
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: the Third put out a tweet yesterday and again, I
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: try not to, I really do. I try to separate myself.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to act like because one person tweets
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: something out that everybody's talking about it. I think a
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: lot of talk show wills do that, and I think
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: that's a mistake. But certainly, I mean, I heard I
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: wasn't going to talk about it, and then I heard
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: it being discussed on the drive in, and I'm like, oh, okay,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: so I wasn't the only person that saw this, and
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: it's not just him. I've seen a few other people
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: suggested as well, that why aren't we talking as much
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: about Russini and Frabel as we have about other similar
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: incidents from the past, And he listed off Udoka, and
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: he listed off Sharon More, and he listed off.
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: Clay and Megan.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: That we're covering these from the from twenty four to
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: seven NonStop, but we're not shedding true light on the
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Russini rape. Are you?
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: Where's how far.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Is your head buried in the sand? I can't go
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: anywhere without Rabel and Russini being covered or talked about now,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: certainly not at ESPN.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: And that's probably their issue.
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: They're burying it.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: But if that's what you're trying to do, then direct
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: your criticism towards ESPN. You don't have an affiliation with
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: them anymore, So why don't you just direct because that's
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: what you're really trying to say. Why is ESPN covering
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: this up? Why aren't they talking about it enough? Well,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: because they're covering it up. Because they're covering it up, right,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: they are. They're literally covering it up. But my goodness,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: you can't you can't click, you can't open your computer
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: without seeing an update on this. This is the most
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: reported on, most discussed, most hammered thing that I can
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: remember in sports. I mean, it was there, we were
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: doing draft coverage and it's like, should I be talking
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: about Russini and Vrabel? It seems like that's all anyone
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: wants to discuss on social media. So I don't get
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: where anybody's coming from that they think that the media
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: is covering up for Vrabel and Russini, because that just.
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: Is not happening.
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: No, And I think there was definitely there has been
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: cover up of it, because now it's coming out that
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: they think that or they're saying most NFL coaches knew
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: about it and it was just kind of the thing
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: that nobody talked about.
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: So there's that aspect, but that's not the media covering
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: it up. That's other people covering it up.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: And there are individuals that are covering it up. Yes,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: and they're announcing that we're covering I mean ESPN has
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: not announced it, but we can read between the lines.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: But like Nan LeBatard and Stu Gotts and guys like
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: that are like, she's my friend, I'm not going to
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: talk about it. Yeah, so they are announcing No, I'm
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: not going to talk about it because I am personally
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: involved in the story and I don't want to want
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: to discuss it.
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: Certainly some there's some of that.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: For anyone to say that any of those three stories,
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: oh have been discussed more than Russini and Frable. I mean,
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: you have an agenda against ESPN. I understand why you do,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: but make it about them, right, Just call them out.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: Don't don't call out the entire media like we're scared
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: to discuss this topic because that's insane. It makes you
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: look like an insane person.
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: Well, it wouldn't be the first time.
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: We've been covering that up for years.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: We've been wanting to talk about RG three has lost
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: his marbles, but unfortunately we are just not fair journalists.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: So we've been covering it up for years.
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: So now the cat's out of the bag.
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's exactly what's going on here.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: But anyway, uh, I even saw yesterday speaking of not
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: covering it up. There was I mean that legitimate speculation
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: that we haven't heard the end of this, Rabel's going
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: to continue to look worse than this, and that it
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: might end with him walking away because right now you've
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: got media sources following his wife. Yeah, the true victim
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: in all of this.
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, his wife and kids should not be brought into
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: any of this.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and now they're following her to the airport. I agreed, Yeah, agreed.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they'd had nothing to do with it. This is
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: about Russini and Rabel and that is it.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Uh huh. And you can come after them. I'm not
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: going to say all you want too.
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, but if you're going to talk about it,
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: talk about them.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, it's so big that we have media
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: outlets following Mike Rabel's presumably innocent wife and a really
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: obviously wretched state of emotions being followed in the airport
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: by TMZ. Yeah, that's how much it is.
• 53:13
  Speaker 6: Getting to CMZ, who wouldn't cover the story at first,
• 53:17
  Speaker 6: until like a week later, when then they're like, Okay,
• 53:19
  Speaker 6: well now it's so big we have to cover it.
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: And now they're the ones that are going to follow
• 53:22
  Speaker 6: his wife.
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: I mean that's gross.
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe it does.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: I mean when it first came out, I thought, oh no,
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Rabel's fine. But the more we hear and how long
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: it's been going on, and the information that people are
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: uncovering that she shared, and now we know who the
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: source was and how it got out there and how
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: it might have manipulated free agency or it might have
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: manipulated trade value. She had ap votes, Yeah, stuff like that.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's she's cooked. But in terms of Rabel,
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: whether or not Vrabel should be held accountable for this,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: it's looking worse and worse. And now that if he
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: has to face another layer of embarrassing true that potentially
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: could come out that maybe he would just want to
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: step out of the public eye for a little while
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: and may give up his dream job in order to
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: do it. So we shall see. But yes, satisfied. RG three.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: We talked about it.
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go. We stopped covering it up.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: We stopped all of our talking about Shirwn more.
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: Oh my God, it's endless to.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Make sure that we satisfied your desire for more Rabel
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: and Russini content. This as a quick aside, yeahoo Sports
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: is announcing that ESPN's finalizing a deal with Ian Ferness's
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: friend Ian Rappaport. Looks like he's moving to ESPN and
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: apparently the main reason they hired him hasn't slept with
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Mike Rabel.
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well that's a good reason or someone.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 54:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's now the top of the list.
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: Now it's a smaller pool to choose from you.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: If so, if you have that at the buried at
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: the bottom of your resume, put that near the top
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: these days.
• 54:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, or that up there, either one. I'll get you
• 55:01
  Speaker 6: far if you haven't slept with them.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, some big font on that. Just slide it right
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: up that resume.
• 55:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, you know, if you're a coach, make
• 55:09
  Speaker 6: sure you say you haven't slept with Diana, And if
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: you're a reporter, make sure you say you haven't slept
• 55:13
  Speaker 6: with Brabel.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: All right, Coming up next, Ryan Heally is going to
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: join us here on the program We'll Talk to Mariners
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: Baseball with the former Mariner on Sports Radio ninety three.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Point three kh A r.
• 55:25
  Speaker 6: F m.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Oh. I do love the fact that Ashley decided that
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: one of her favorite campers could have a role on
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: our radio program, and she recruited him, and it turns out,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: just turns out, just happenstance that he was a former Mariner.
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: Weird how that works out.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like there's one of these like, Hey, I haven't
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: seen you since we rubbed calamine lotion on our Exactly
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: what have you done with your life?
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: You played baseball for the Mariners. Oh wow, would you
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: like to come on our radio show?
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: We could use you.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 56:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: So that's how we got to know Ryan Heay a
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: little bit better former Mariner who joins us every week
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: on the show. We couldn't be more happy about that.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: And here he is with this on Chuck and Buck.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: How are you, sir?
• 56:21
  Speaker 8: I'm doing wonderful. Happy Wednesday to you guys.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Hey, same to you as well. Yeah, nice to have
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: you here on a Wednesday. So how much has your
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: life changed since you got a few games under your
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: belt doing color analysis during Mariners TV broadcast? I thought
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: you were fantastic, by the way. I've seen mostly positive
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: reviews that, if not all positive, reviews. We don't get
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of all positive reviews up here in the
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest. This is a really finicky audience up here.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: So what's been the reaction since you got a few
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: games under your belt? When I was up there, I
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: got a lot of positive feedback. I was very grateful
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: for that, because obviously I don't really have a baseline
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: of what good is it at this point. You listen
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: to some of the best in the world and you
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: try to take some nuggets.
• 57:04
  Speaker 8: From them and apply them. But man, the game goes fast.
• 57:08
  Speaker 8: It was.
• 57:09
  Speaker 9: Everyone kept asking me, was I more nervous for my
• 57:11
  Speaker 9: debut in the booth or on the field? And hands
• 57:13
  Speaker 9: down on the field, like there's way more things that
• 57:16
  Speaker 9: can go wrong on the on the baseball field. But
• 57:19
  Speaker 9: I really enjoyed it, and I felt like by the
• 57:21
  Speaker 9: end of that first home stint, I had an opportunity
• 57:24
  Speaker 9: to settle in and get a bit of understanding and
• 57:27
  Speaker 9: feeling very thankful for Aaron Goldsmith for kind of holding
• 57:29
  Speaker 9: my hand and walking me through the initial transition there
• 57:32
  Speaker 9: with the training wheels on.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: You're sick of brad Adam by now, though, right.
• 57:36
  Speaker 8: No, I love brad Adam.
• 57:37
  Speaker 9: The energy that he brings to the yard every single
• 57:39
  Speaker 9: day is special. Like, that's the clubhouse guy that the
• 57:42
  Speaker 9: team keeps signing year after year regardless of what his
• 57:45
  Speaker 9: batting average is because he brings so much value.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: You hear that, Adam, You are the glue that holds
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: it on together, you and your two fifteen batting average. Yeah,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: he's about He's about impossible not to like that guy.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: I heally is with us. Yes, not just Alma, Chuck
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: and Buck, but you're gonna him do a lot of
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Mariners broadcast this year. So we're excited about that. And
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: he's off to a great start there. All right, let's
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: talk about this team. They got a chance to get
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: back to five one hundred here today with a win
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: over the Minnesota Twins. More on that in a moment,
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: But last night's game I mentioned this, Ashley and I
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: have discussed it a couple of times today. Want to
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: get your thought That bat flip from Josh Naylor on
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: the three run homer last night, to me, that was
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: him announcing to the world I am done with that
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: damn slump. I am no longer ice cold. It wasn't
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: even I got it all. It wasn't like we're gonna
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: win this game. That was I went the opposite field
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: earlier for a clutch two out RBI single, and now
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: I just pulled to right center field an upper deck shot.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: I am done with that damn slump. What did you
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: think it meant?
• 58:53
  Speaker 9: I like that It's one of those moments that as
• 58:56
  Speaker 9: a baseball player and even as a human being in life,
• 58:58
  Speaker 9: you're dealing with so much, so much failure, and you
• 59:01
  Speaker 9: have that moment where you're like it was all worth it,
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: all of a sudden, I understand why the baseball gods
• 59:07
  Speaker 9: wanted me to hit a buck ten for as many
• 59:10
  Speaker 9: weeks as they did.
• 59:11
  Speaker 8: Like, this was the moment, this was the road.
• 59:13
  Speaker 9: Trip, and I felt like that capped it off to
• 59:15
  Speaker 9: really be able to, you know, put that game out
• 59:17
  Speaker 9: of reach for the Twins, for the opportunity for the
• 59:19
  Speaker 9: Mariners to just extend and score latent games.
• 59:21
  Speaker 8: You've seen that a lot on.
• 59:22
  Speaker 9: This road trip is the Mariner's ability to continue to
• 59:25
  Speaker 9: add on and take better advantage of teams bullpens that
• 59:29
  Speaker 9: aren't established or tremendous. That was the biggest complaint that
• 59:32
  Speaker 9: I heard for that Rangers in that a series. When
• 59:35
  Speaker 9: I was in town in Seattle. The lineup for the
• 59:37
  Speaker 9: Mariners was not taking advantage of the bullpens and also
• 59:40
  Speaker 9: some of the lesser starting pitching more on the A
• 59:43
  Speaker 9: side than the Rangers side. The Rangers tremendous starting pitching.
• 59:47
  Speaker 9: But that was a moment for Josh Snanader to say, oh, man,
• 59:50
  Speaker 9: baseball's fun again. I'm gonna celebrate and enjoy this moment
• 59:53
  Speaker 9: and do a full three sixty turn and bat flip
• 59:57
  Speaker 9: to the moon and take my sweet time.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: Sirre in this I think the same. I mean, they
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: are different personalities, but the way that Julio's playing again
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: with joy, you can tell. I mean, this is somebody
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: that's for ever since he became a Mariner, as great,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: as good as he's been, as great as he been,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: you might go as far as describing him as great
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: as a Mariner to this point in his season.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: He's never gotten off to a good start.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: This is about as good a start as he's ever
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: gotten off to. And even though he was showing some
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: frustration like everybody else in the first couple of weeks, man,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: he just he looks different at this time of the
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: year than he's looked heading into May. At any point
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: during his his young career. What are you seeing out
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: of him? He's not hit home runs, but he's he's
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: he's as close to looking locked in as we've seen
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: him this early in the season ever.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 9: I mean, he visited Big back Land with he was
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 9: when he was in Saint Louis and that was the
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 9: first home run that he's hit since the Astros series
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 9: in that four game sweep in Seattle, So that was
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 9: a good sign. There was a stretch where I think
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 9: he was on base for ten, twelve, fourteen games.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 8: In a row.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Like.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 9: There was a lot of walks, there was a lot
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 9: of hits. He was consistently on the barrels, you know,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 9: the even the outs were loud, and obviously to see
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 9: him have three doubles last night, one going to right center,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 9: two going down the left field line, you can just
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 9: tell he's getting more comfortable, and traditionally, for hitters that
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 9: have more power, the power is the last thing to
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 9: show up. I've actually been really impressed with cal Rowley
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 9: with how many home runs he's hit so far this season.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 8: I think he has seven now.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, the fact that he's been able to leave the
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 9: yard as often as he had with the strikeouts with
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 9: the jam shots. Is having a hard time finding the
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 9: barrel consistently. It'd been surprised how many he's run into.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 9: Julio's a guy like I put cal Julio in a
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 9: special category where they all have months with them here
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 9: gonna hit ten like they'll hit ten eleven home runs
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 9: and kind of get that bunches of power that show up.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 9: I care way more about the type of the bat
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 9: that Julio's putting together. He's gone through a couple of
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 9: adjustments where the barrel was really vertical and dancing around
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 9: a lot, find his timing, put it on his shoulder,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 9: soften his self in the batter's box, and got his
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 9: timing down. But then we'll struggle to get the ball
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 9: in the air. And if you look, and now he's
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 9: kind of on the third tier of progression for the
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 9: adjustment of figuring out where does his barrel need to
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 9: be to be able to actually get the baseball in
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 9: the air, because now he's on time and it's in
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 9: the zone. But hitters are not satisfied with just hitting
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 9: really hard ground balls because defenders and the big leages
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 9: are really good.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: Just a quick baseball question, just the game of baseball.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: And I know it's about Julio, but what is it
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: about those shots the center field? What's happening on those
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: fly balls that he's having to contort himself in mid
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: air or like some circuasile acrobat to catch. I mean,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: we've usually are used to seeing him glide in center field,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: and he's he's having to pull off some last second
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: heroics because there's obviously some sort of misplay going on there.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 8: Well, are you talking about the one that was up
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 8: against the wall in minnesot.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: No, more like last night. A couple of times he's
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: had to like twist like a fish being pulled from
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: a lake to try to snare fly balls that off
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: the bat look like I mean, you saw one when
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: Nick Kurtz when you were doing the broadcast. Yes, yeah,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: and I know that one was knuckling. But I was
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: just trying to give you the opportunity to explain that
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: he's not doing anything terribly wrong. It's just sometimes balls
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: are hit strangely.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you get really interesting ballflight from these hitters, especially
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 9: when they're hit one hundred and five. Plus the spin
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 9: that comes off that bat can go multiple directions. We'll
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 9: call it four directions, the backspun, topspun, and side spun
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 9: either way depending on the type of hitter, and those
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 9: balls will just dance on you.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 8: As an outfielder.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 9: I didn't play a ton of outfield, Yeah, especially at
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 9: the higher levels where guys are hitting the baseball much
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 9: harder than anyone else. There's such a different jump, especially
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 9: the last twenty five feet, where if you can get
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 9: a good read off the bat, you're able to beat
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 9: the ball to the spot.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 8: And it seems like Julio struggling.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 9: To beat the ball like a good line drive, beat
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 9: it to the spot, anticipate where it's going to. I
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 9: don't think that's something he's doing wrong. I think that's
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 9: just a feel thing that comes with time, just kind
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 9: of like timing in the batters box, that comes together
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 9: in the outfield position. And he's tremendous out there. But
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 9: he did have a funky play in Seattle. Leg was
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 9: there where him and Cole Young were about to collide
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 9: on a pop fly kind of an upburn you to
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 9: triangle in front of the center field, and he slid
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 9: really early and missed it and was frustrated.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 8: But I don't ever worry about his defensive play.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: All right, Ryan Heally is with us a former Mariner
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: now Mariner broadcaster and with us every week here on
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Chuck and Buck in the Morning. You brought up Cole
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: Young now that we've got to see him a little
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: bit kind of get comfortable in the major league settle
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: in still very young man. Are we talking about a
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: high floor? Are we talking about high ceiling? I mean,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: is this guy just a regular starter? Is that what
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: you see coming together? Do you see a star? Do
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: you see a superstar? How are we evaluating? Just how
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: much better Cole Young looks in a very short period
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: of time.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 9: I see a high floor. I like that that statement.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 9: For right now, I don't know what his ceiling is.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 9: We have seen some tremendous power as fans of what
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 9: Cole Young is capable of. The Bali hit in twenty
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 9: twenty five off of Kamar Rocker of the Rangers that
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 9: I think went in that upper deck the restaurant there
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 9: in right field. You know, four seventy four to sixty plus,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 9: ridiculous power potential and not a massive human being either,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 9: but just creates so much power and torque with the swing.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 9: The biggest thing that stands out for me with Cole
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 9: Young is his ability to command the strike zone. Whether
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 9: it's a right handed a left handed pitcher, a starter
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 9: or reliever. He steps in there with the plan, he
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 9: knows what he's looking for, and he's able to use
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 9: the entire field. And there's not many bats this season
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 9: where I've seen him look overmatched because he's able to
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 9: make adjustments within the bat from pitch to pitch. If
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 9: he's beat on a fastball, he can start his timing
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 9: a little bit earlier. He's able to adjust to off
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 9: speed and that base City had last night, it was
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 9: a fastball that beat him and didn't hit it terribly
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 9: hard to left field, but his barrels in the zone.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 9: He's turning behind the baseball and is able to just
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 9: kind of clip it to left for a late inning RBI.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 9: That is massive to keep this Mariner's bullpen rested.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. I said this earlier in
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: the show. We've already given the contract to Emerson. If
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: he gave a nine year contract to Cole Young tomorrow,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: and I don't know what the money would be, but
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: I would sign up right now today for Emerson and
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Young shortstop second base for the next nine years, sign
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: up for.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 9: It today, and I think there's a lot of people
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 9: that would agree with that of anchoring down that middle
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 9: infield for the foreseeable future. But I think there's also
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 9: some fans out there that'd like to see someone in
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 9: this starting rotation get locked up as well.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: All right, well, let's talk about the starting rotation. Ryan
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: Healy is with us. Luis Castillo continues to struggle. How
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: worried should we be about this?
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 9: The velocity concerned me, especially in the other in the
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 9: start the other night in Minnesota. I know it was
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 9: cold and it was rainy, and as a this as
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 9: a baseball player, that's not the weather you want to
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 9: play in Seattle.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 8: You got the roof.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 9: Even though it's cold, you're not wet. But when you're
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 9: cold and wet, it's tough. But when you see the
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 9: velocity take a tip down like that, like I saw
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 9: a lot of ninety twos ninety three's out of him,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 9: that's not normal. It really eliminates the four seamer at
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 9: the top of the zone, which he's been so good
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 9: at the last few years. The bigger issue right now
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 9: is the slider. The slider is it's no longer a
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 9: get me over pitch plus a put away pitch. It's
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 9: turned into I don't know what it's going to be
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 9: out of my hand. And we saw Andres Munioz lose
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 9: the feel of a slider recently too, and it looks
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 9: to be coming back around. But when pitchers lose their
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 9: main secondary, it's really hard to have that confidence to
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 9: fill the strikes one up early. And Luis Castillo has
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 9: the highest walk round in the starting rotation by a
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 9: lot over eight percent walk rate, and that's not the
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 9: Mariners pitching staff identity. So if he's giving up free
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 9: passes and then also giving up the big hits, it's
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 9: a recipe for disaster. And I know how good Louise
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 9: has been is in his big league career, and he
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 9: can turn this around. The question is what direction does
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 9: him and the pitching staff go in the short term
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 9: to get him right, because otherwise it makes the Mariner's
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 9: decision that much easier when Bryce Miller does come back.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: Do is that the easy decision at this point? Let's
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: say Bryce Miller's activated tomorrow, Is it as easy as hey?
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: Luis is clearly the guy struggling the most. He's out
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: of the rotation.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 8: I liked your take that you had the other day.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 9: I thought it was an interesting perspective on a team
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 9: that has World Series expectations, there can't be emotional decisions
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 9: that are made. Like everyone knows that Louis castillo Is
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 9: is the leader of that pitching staff and he is
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 9: the big brother that someone might call him unk on
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 9: that rotation the way that the guys look up to him.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 9: But I do know that Louis would do whatever's best
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 9: of the team. I don't believe that they would rush
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 9: him out of the starting rotation because they're gonna need
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 9: all six of these arms for the entirety of the
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 9: season to be successful. I would envision them running a
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 9: six man rotation before they bump Luis to the bullpen,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 9: just because you don't know what that does to his
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 9: confidence and his identity as a plus you're big leaguer.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 9: How does he handle that transition? What does his role
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 9: end up being, you know, in the middle relief or
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 9: even back into the bullpen. That's that's more of an
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 9: end of the year decision of where you might slide
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 9: him in. I wouldn't be surprised if they continue with
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 9: the sixth man to try to keep these arms as
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 9: healthy as they possibly could for the rest of the year.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: Huh. You mentioned let's extend a starting pitcher next, would
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: it be Gilbert or Kirby for you? Well, that's a
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: hard one. That's a hard one.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 5: What about who?
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: Well, you got a little more time with him, been
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: a little more time. Gilbert's up in a year, Kirby's
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: up in two, Woo's up, and I think four man.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 9: I mean, if you're going by that that thought process,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 9: Gilbert's probably gonna be the most expensive because he is
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 9: closest to free agency. My guess is they've thrown offers
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 9: in front of all three of them, and clearly nothing
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 9: that is close enough to what they want to see,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 9: meaning the pitchers.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 8: I don't have a preference. I would like any of
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 8: the three.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 9: Personally, I would like to skip all, but it is
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 9: It is really reassuring as well for Mariners fans to
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 9: see the pipeline of minor leaguers that are having a
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 9: ton of success and dominating, you know, the double A level.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 9: I think the chance that you see Kate Anderson in
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 9: Sloan kind of come up to triple A at some
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 9: point towards the second half of the season and test
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 9: their their abilities there against some more advanced hitters.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Anderson's just dominating, dominating.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 8: It's ugly.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 9: It's ugly for those Texas League when you run into
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 9: a legitimate arm like that that can pitch with velocity
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 9: and plus secondary it's a nightmare.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, abs challenge system, We're all getting used to it.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody. I don't know to know
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: if the most seasoned manager still knows exactly what their
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: strategy is going to be. Did we learn anything from
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: Rob Reschneider's Sunday where he had two opportunities to call
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: out an umpire who was having a really bad day,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: but with the count oh and o, he let that
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: one go. But then when it was one and two,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: like known, he We're not gonna send me back to
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: the bench on that, So I'm gonna go ahead and
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: challenge this one. And then he hits the home run
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: which changes the game. So I guess my question is
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: number one, now that we've had a month with this,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: isn't it incredible how much it can impact a baseball game?
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 5: And then number two, do you think.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: That baseball teams have figured out how they want to
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: use it or is this gonna take a little while longer.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 9: I've always said the second half is going to bring
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 9: more clarity for exactly what the ABS system should be
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 9: utilized for, and it seems like teams and specific players
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 9: are already getting more specific with the situations that they're
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 9: deploying that challenge. They don't want to use it an
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 9: OO unless it's blatant. They do want to trust the
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 9: catcher behind the plate to use those challenges and big situations.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 9: And then when they're at bat altering calls like JP
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 9: has had to bite his tongue. JP Crawfords had to
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 9: bite his tongue on multiple ones that I know he's
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 9: wanted to challenge but hasn't. And then it's also deployed
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 9: in different situations like in one one counts or a
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 9: two strike count. I've also seen JP get absolutely hosed
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 9: on a couple of calls that were the ABS call
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 9: of just kind of nicking the corner man.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 8: That's tough.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 9: I do think cal Rawley has gotten a lot more
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 9: comfortable with it. Mitch Garver was like eight for.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 8: Eight with it.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, weird.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 9: I think we've seen we've seen one Mariner picture deploy
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 9: a challenge so far this year for one and only
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 9: George Kirby. I understand why he did it, though, and
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 9: I actually respected it. He was very passionate and was
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 9: convicted and unfortunately wrong. But if he was right, then
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 9: you know a whole different story. But I like the ABS.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 9: It's an interesting moment, a thrilling moment. And did you
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 9: see the Reds the Reds game last night where the
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 9: eleventh strikerut of the game was on an ABS challenge
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 9: and when the red strikeout eleven at home, the entire
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 9: stadium gets free pizza. I didn't you need to go
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 9: find that because the energy in that building erupted the
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 9: minute the ABS child was overturned.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 8: It was awesome.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: Now I love it. I just say, yeah, I'm with you.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know if any manager, no matter how skilled
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: they are, still has any clue how they're going to
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: be managing ABS by the end of the season. But
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: maybe we did learn a little bit of a lesson
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: from Reschneider on Sunday, A little piece of information. I
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: want to ask you about today's game because it is
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: just game number thirty two of one hundred and sixty
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: two game season, and that well yeah, yeah, but I
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: mean we're very early in the process and it's just
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: one of many, right, and yet Ashley and I were
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: discussing this a.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 5: Little bit earlier.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: I really want this game, like more so than any
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: of the previous thirty one games. The idea, seriously, the
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: idea that you could dig out of this hole officially
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: get back to the five hundred mark, have an essence
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: two days off because you won't play again until Friday night,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: Brendan Donovan possibly waiting for you here at home to
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: rein to the lineup. You get two days to enjoy
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: the reset. Okay, we created a hole we didn't want
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: to create for ourselves, but we got back to five hundred.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: We can hit the reset button out of one hundred
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: and thirty games to play yet this year. So this
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: to me feels like to get this win today and
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: get back to five hundred. I'm not saying if you
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: lose it it's a big deal, but I'm saying if you
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: win it, it feels like the perfect opportunity to just
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: hit that reset button, take a deep breath, and say,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: all right, here we go, let's go win the damn West.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 9: I think I think I'm gonna try and bite my
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 9: tongue here out of respect for the passion that you
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 9: were demonstrating, because I want you. I want you to
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 9: make this Wednesday day game that's gonna be on at
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 9: around ten am our time. I want that. I want
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 9: that to feel big for you. So I'm gonna let
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 9: you have that. I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 9: say that the card those series has already cemented a
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 9: lot of progress. The win last night, bouncing back after
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 9: the tough loss on Monday, cemented a lot of things
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 9: for this team and what their identity is. Yes, would
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 9: have win today, cap it off and make it special. Yeah,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 9: for sure, to overcome some of the road diversities they
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 9: dealt with early in the season, to win this series,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 9: because that's the most important thing right now for the
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 9: Mariners is win every series.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 8: Sure, this is this is the world Series, Chuck, this
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 8: is it. This is the moment. Do we're doing Game seven?
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: Let's go. You know what, I don't appreciate your sarcasm,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: and you were laying on really thick heally. I like it.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm pitching everybody today. Everybody's available, not starters obviously,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I'm with you. I'm pitching everybody today. I'm
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: making sure Munos gets in the game today. I'm I'm
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: winning this game. That's my approach. Dan Wilson will never
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: be able to show his face in Minneapolis again if
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: he doesn't win this game today.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 8: Wow, I don't think that's how I don't think that's
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 8: how it works. If he loses the game the next
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 8: welcome back. That's a little bit of box.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: But he's from Minnesota, so I think he would embarrass himself.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: He's actually from Illinois, Barrington, Illinois. Where Well I'm not
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: going to tell a personal story. All right, well man,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: thank you very much. Enjoy this crucial game today and series.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 8: Let's go.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to you again next week. What are you
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: back on? By the way, when's your next Mariners game?
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 9: Actually, are we allowed to tell tell the listeners what
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 9: the plan is move forward?
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know he's talking about Marritger's game. But yeah,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 6: we can tell them that too. You'll be back on
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 6: starting Tuesdays.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 9: Oh, Tuesday night, a little pitvot in the healthy household.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 9: So instead of Mondays at nine, we're gonna be Tuesdays
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 9: at night and moving forward. So I look forward to that.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 9: I will be at be back up in Seattle the
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 9: twenty eighth of May, so about a month away.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, well we look forward to it,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: all right, man, Thank you, great stuff.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 8: As always, great teaing you guys.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: All. I agree Today Ryan Haley Healey joining us right
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: here on Chuck and Buck in the morning's the former
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: Mariner turned Mariner broadcast right before our eyes. And now
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: he's going to be joining us every Tuesday at nine
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: o'clock as opposed to Monday's. And today was different too,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: obviously it's Wednesday.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, because on Monday we had to go all draft.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah that's true.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: That's true. That's true.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: So yeah, good stuff from him today. And I don't
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: appreciate him treating me that way.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 4: Listen up, Chucky.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: At the end of the interview, Yeah sure, sure, it's huge.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: It's the World Series. I think we're you guys are
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: in a fight.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 4: You're having your first fight.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's a big deal if we lose today.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying this would be a really nice wedding.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 6: Well, all you're saying is that of the games we've
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 6: had so far this season, this is the one that
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 6: want we most want to win. And I completely understand
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 6: that because, as we pointed out earlier, you get to
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 6: come home at five hundred, you have a nice sunny weekend,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 6: You've got a good home stand.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 4: Yep, it's a great way to start things off.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just a we now we can fish flush
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: that bad start.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 5: We dug out of that hole.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got one hundred and thirty games to go.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: We are at worse a game out of first place,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: because if you win today, you can't lose any ground.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: You're at worse a game out of first place in
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: the American League West. And then you just get to
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: go home to some home cooking, you know, your own bed.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: You have almost two full days off. It'll feel like
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: you're reborn.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 6: And also, yeah, well you had a crappy game like
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 6: you had on Monday, and then a good game like
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 6: you had on Tuesday. You don't want to go back
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 6: to the crap on Monday. You want to go You
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 6: want to move forward. So a win today, heel, he's
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 6: just not as deep a thinker as I.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: Is that what it is?
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 6: Yea, Yeah, it's got all that hair that's blocking.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: You know what age comes wisdom, young man, and someday
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: he'll be enlightened like I am.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 4: He'll get there.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll see the light. You'll understand how it works.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: Things will become clearer for you. Okay, So just now,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: maybe just listen, maybe be a good listener, you know,
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: and then that will serve you better to be a talker. Yes, okay,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: yes you can talk your smack, but maybe maybe listen
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit, maybe maybe perk up a little bit
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: when the enlightened are speaking. All right, Coming up next
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: on the radio program, we are going to talk about
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: my favorite story of the day. I think Ashley can't
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: wait to talk about this story. I do want to
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: let you know that deposit is also your keyword. Grand
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: Slam Cash thousand dollars into that in ninety three to
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: three kjar dot com. But we're going to discuss Russ
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: and Gino reunited and it feels so good. Sports Radio
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: ninety three point three KJRFM. I've heard people say this
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: a lot. That's the greatest reality television that there is,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: and it always has been and it always will be,
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: and it's remarkable. Like you know, Bucky always says, people
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: that don't like sports are weird.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he might say dumb. Is it weird?
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: Is it dumb or weird or both? Maybe I think
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: it's weird. Weird he says they're weird, And yeah. If
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: you don't get into this, I mean there is something
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: wrong with you, because when this can happen, gosh, what
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: a great sports radio magic this is. But if you
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: have not heard, there was a story that broke yesterday
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: that maybe Russell Wilson's not done just yet with the
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: National Football League, and of all teams to be interested
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: in Russell as a backup to Geno Smith, oh man,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: it's the New York Jets that might be interested in
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: reuniting Russ and Gino, just in a different order on
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: the depth chart heading into the new season. You just
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: can't make this stuff up.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 4: I mean you really can't.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 6: That is some I mean, if anyone ever thought Russell
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 6: hadn't gotten enough humble pie in the past couple of
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 6: years to then come in to be the backup to
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 6: his backup, that that would take that.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 4: You'd take a tumble down the humble hill.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: But how would you if he signed up for it?
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: How would you feel about him? Because I mean, maybe
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: he's impervious to that sort of thing. Maybe he doesn't
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: get embarrassed. Maybe he I mean, he gets let go
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: in Denver and it's just like, I still think I'm
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the National Football League. And then
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: he has his ups and downs in Pittsburgh. Actually had
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: a couple of nice moments in Pittsburgh but couldn't capitalized
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: on it and ended up getting benched. And then he
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: ends up with the Giants and he acts like, no,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: it was the Giants first. And when he went to
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: New York, he's going to Knicks games like he's a
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: big superstar in New York now, and people are like, dude,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: you got a battle for your job, Like you aren't.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're QB one, it's in pencil. And
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: yet he just is like, oh, that's great. Just want
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: to be a quarterback, Just want to be in the NFL.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: It's no big deal. So if he were to take this,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: we would look at his like, oh man, if that's
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: not a lesson in humility, I don't know what is.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't look at it.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 4: He's like, I still got it. He definitely doesn't get
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 4: embarrassed to.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 5: Win this job. If he got the best quarterback in
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 5: the league.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 6: Again, if he ever got embarrassed, he never would have
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 6: posted a video saying, hey Seattle, we got a deal
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 6: at midnight in bed and he never would have done
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 6: those subway commercials. So clearly he has no like, embarrassment
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 6: is not a thing that he ever experiences.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: Do we have the danger which him smacking his lips
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: like they didn't even give him a script. They're just like,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: no ad lib. You're so talented.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 4: Oh god, I swear I have it somewhere.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: Oh man, Well, if you've seen him recently.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: That's all I have from it, unfortunately.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: But for Uss, well, he was a great seahawk. He
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: was He was a great seahawk. And I don't think
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: he's a bad guy whatsoever. I think he's actually probably
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: got a really good heart.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 6: Yes, really good heart, a kind heart, listens to he
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 6: has too many yes people around him, and he listens
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 6: to people who have terrible suggestions.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: Yes. And I mean I thought we hadn't heard anything
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: about Russell this entire offseason, and in my head, I'm like,
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe he did. Finally just look in the mirror
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: and just say, you know what, I pulled off some
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: pretty great things and won a Super Bowl. People were
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: thought I was going to be a Hall of Famer
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: a one point. Maybe I've got an outside chance at
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: getting there. I don't know. But I made a lot
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: of money. I got a beautiful family out of the
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: out of it. Yeah, I think my wife's in it
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: for the right reasons. Yeah, but maybe it is time
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: to just step away. And then all of a sudden,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: I see him. He's at a Savannah Bananas game. And
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. A lot of athletes have played
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: in no Savannah Banana games. They're very popular, they have
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: they have made their imprint, they made their impact. They
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: sell out that stadium for days, they sell out cities.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, so yeah, there is nothing wrong at all
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: with an athlete choosing to suit up for a game
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: and being the you know, the celebrity athlete at the
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: Savannah Bananas game. A lot of people have done that.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: But when I saw him, and I think you saw
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: the same thing, Ashley, I'm like, oh my gosh, look
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: how heavy he has gotten since the end of the season.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, he is going to banana split his pants.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: He's so big and and yet and he hits a
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: grounder and he waddles down to first and my thought,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: honestly was good.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 5: Russell has accepted it.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: Career is over. He's not going to try to convince
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: this he's still the world's greatest quarterback. He's just he's
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: saw the riding on the wall. This offseason, he had
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: conversation with good football people and he's like, you know what,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: it's been a good run.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 5: I'm done. I'm gonna move aside.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden there's thoughts and bringing
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: him aboard at the Jets, very mixed messages. I'm receiving
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's well, and then it's yeah, especially behind yeah,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 6: behind Geno and again as you said, yeah, with the
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 6: Savannah Bana's you're thinking, Okay, he's going to go enjoy
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 6: his retirement.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 4: Like he's a former baseball player. This is a great fit.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 6: You know, he's gonna just go have fun with the
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 6: audience because he is a ham like he has a
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 6: chief ballure.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 4: He's going to live it up. He's going to think
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 4: it's the.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 6: Best and and he's going to do more stuff like this,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 6: and that makes sense why he's gained weight and things.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 4: Oh wait, his career is not over and he.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: Is, and hey, if the Jets are interested, the Jets
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: are interested.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 5: But I would like to think that. Russ was like,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 5: you know what.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: I I don't think I can I think I think
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think I can swallow that. I think I'm done. Yeah,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: all right, what what am I going to get out
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: of that? Yeah?
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 4: It was just the is it dichotomy? Is that the
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 4: right word?
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 6: Of seeing him in the Savannah Bana's uniform, yes, and
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 6: seeing that he had beefed up a bit, we'll say.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: And I thought he had just I'm you know, I
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: looked in the mirror and yeah, I saw somebody that
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: had a good career and it's over, Yes, exactly.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 6: And then all of a sudden hearing that, and you're like, well,
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 6: those two things are not the same.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 5: I have a feeling if they want him, if it's true.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe somebody was just making it up, because there was
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: also this joke about they have to hire Pete Carroll
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: as an advisor, if nothing else, just an advisor, so
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: that we can have that at training camp. You know,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: we don't want to hire him as a coach, fine,
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: but bring him aboard. Yeah, so we can have Geno,
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: Russ and Pete back together again in a very strange way.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: But man, that is crazy. That is crazy how sports works,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: that this is what could end up legitimately happening before
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: training camp. Yeah, that Russell could sign with the Yets
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: to be Gino Smith's backup quarterback.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 6: It is I I oh, that's fun.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 4: Fun is that the Yeah, it's fun.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 5: You're right, that's fun.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: That's fantastic is what it is. All right. Coming up
• 1:27:13
