Chuck & Buck 6-3 Hour 3: One Series with ian Furness, Sup? and go Spurs, go! · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I'm ready, a little late, run a little late, got
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a little too reckless at breakfast here this morning, it happens.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Apologize to everybody for that, especially our next guest, because
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: it's going to short change two minutes of you here
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and Ian Fornessa's brilliant breakdown of his chosen player today
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and the Seahawks one Series.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: This is something we do every June on this radio program.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Once a day we bring on one of our local
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: analysts to break down one key Seahawk player for one
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: entire interview. And today we've got the fantastic, the fabulous,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the very versatile Ian Furness joining us on our program
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: right here from inside our house at KJAR to participate
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: in the one series.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Good morning, sir, Good morning sir.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Actually I'm inside my house right now, but yes, inside
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: our house.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: I'm here. Hello, how are you?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I'm great, great to have you with us, and I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: will just ask you this before we dive into your
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: player and get to know who you want to talk about.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I at least got to get your reaction. I know
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: we're only supposed to ask you about your player, those
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: are the rules, But what was your reaction this week
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to the Miles Garrett trade.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's it certainly wasn't. It wasn't good news.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I would say troubling concerning a lot of things that
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: are in the negative realm. I guess if you're a
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Seahawks fan, I mean, it's not what you want to
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: see happen. I mean, they you know, Verse leaves, but
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: they upgrade with a guy that's, you know, a Hall
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: of Famer and you know, a two time Defensive Player
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: of the Year. I would have been a lot more
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: upset if they could have figured out a way to
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: do it without getting rid of Jared Verse. But luckily
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: that was you know, the thing that was hard is
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: that they just didn't give up that much, you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I mean consecutive years a one to two and a three.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, that just doesn't feel like a lot from
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Miles Garrett. Now he's on the north end of thirty,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: so maybe that's that's part of it.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: But I mean.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: They have upgraded their defense, you know, more so than
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: any team in the league.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: You had Trent McDuffie, who is.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Arguably one of the top you know, three or four
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: corners in the league. You had another starting cornerback in
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Jalen Watson, who immediately steps in. I mean, they just
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: getting both of Kansas City's starting corners, the only strength
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: really they had at times last year in their defense,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: and then you had Miles Garrett. They're a problem. You know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: they're a problem, and a lot can happen and between
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: now in December when you see them for the first time.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: But they were a problem last year, and they're even
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: more of a problem right now.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I just said this like a half hour ago,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Like I think we have to acknowledge that not only
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: are they the favorite, they should be the favorite at
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: this point.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: But they were last year too. So bring it on,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: let's go.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Let's see what you just I mean, Chuck's just the
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: hardest thing for Seattle to repeat is just getting out
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: of your own division. You know, like it's you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: not only do you have the Rams, the forty nine
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: ers aging, yes, but probably healthier at some point. Kittle
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: might be a pup guy to start the year, but
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: you know, Bosa's back. They added Mike Evans to their roster.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's listen, it's probably three teams come out
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: of the NFC West again, but only one of those
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: teams will have home field advantage, and so that's that's
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: the big key. We saw how important that was last season.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: So uh, it's it's just getting out of your own neighborhood.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a hard battle. And if you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: whoever survives that, it's you know, I mean those three
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: teams arguably, if you're ranking, you know, if you're doing
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: a power ranking in the NFC, which I hate, but
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: now I'm going to do it, you're probably going rams Seattle,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: but maybe the Bears, right, and then maybe the maybe yeah,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: but I mean listen, A J. Brown could help them
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: and now we can't. I don't know, yeah, and then
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the Niners, right. So I mean it's pretty hard. If
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: you want to say three the top five teams in
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: the NFC are all in your division, that's a that's
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: a really that's a really tough road to hope.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: And Forness is with us.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: He's here for the Seahawks one Series one analyst breaking
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: down one key c Hawk player for one entire interview.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: But I had to ask him about the big news
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: this week within the NFC West. But let's get to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: your player. Who are we going to break down with Ian?
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: For neest today.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: I wanted to go with with AJ Barner too.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Honestly, I thought AJ Barner is a guy that kind
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: of flies under the radar screen a little bit with
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: a team that's got you know, so many stars on
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: defense and obviously the offensive player of the year and
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Jackson Smith and Jigba first round pick at running back,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: and you know the star that Grey Zabel started to
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: become last year and everything like that. I just I
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: think with how they probably I'm assuming the offense looks
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: pretty similar to last year, with you know, a guy
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: coming from the Shanahan tree and all of that, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: the tight end is really of the utmost importance to
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: that offense.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: I kind of I just I think A J.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Barner is a guy that is a huge key to
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: success for this season, and frankly, Chuck, he was a
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: big key to success.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Last year as well. He got a good year.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Did you celebrate choosing Barner by Are you doing this
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: while wearing a trench coat, no shirt and a cowboy hat?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Please tell me that's what you're wearing right now?
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah. I walk around the house.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: With that all day.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: And then then what I really like to do is
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: is I kind of walk around. I do my nightly
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: walk around the neighborhood with that on as well. It
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: seems to kind of make the neighbors knife and uncomfortable.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I do that.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, brand kids inside, Yeah, what's going on here? You know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you a funny thing. Last year we had
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: on the Kraken pregame show on TV.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: We had a couple.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: You know, we have guests every now and then, like
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: sometimes whoever's doing the whatever is a little thing they do.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Let's go cracking, which they need to change that by
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: the way, if anybody's listening over there, probably not, but
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: boom boom boom, let's go crack in the little thing
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: they do up there in the Toyota deck. Barner came
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: last year, but it was basically kind of the offensive line.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: But we had Barner on the show. It was during
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: their bye week and he came on. This dude's an
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: offensive lineman by heart, and I love that about him
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: being a tight end, like he just we were talking
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: to him.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: He's hanging out.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, basically it was him, Zabel Cross, I think
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Sundell was there. Those guys were in a suite. They're
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: smashing beers or having fun. I mean, he's just kind
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: of got that. He's got that offensive lineman mentality. And
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: yet Chuck, here's here's a little thing like in the
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: draft year for him, in twenty twenty four, there were
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: twelve tight ends drafted. He was the seventh tight end drafted.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: He's number two among the twelve in production offensive production,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: most of it coming last year, his second year. Among
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: all those tight ends, I mean, it was a great
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: draft pick by John Schneider, like a great draft pick.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: He was picked one twenty first overall, and he probably
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: doesn't take too much.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: You probably remember who's.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: The top, the top tight end from that draft, Lass Bowers, yep,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: brought Bowers.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: But after that is Barner.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I mean Barner at eighty two catches, seven hundred and
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: sixty four yards, ten touchdowns. He's number two interceptions, number
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: two in touchdowns, number three in yards among all those
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: twelve tight ends that were drafted.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: And that's just offensively. I mean, I think it's in
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: terms of receiving the ball.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: But I think with what they want to do with
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: going with twelve personnel with two tight ends, they had
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: massive success in that offense in that formation last season
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I think he's a he's a starter where he played
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: almost eighty percent of the snaps, and.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: B you know, he's he's what you want in a
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: tight end.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: He catches the ball at a very high level of
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: catch rates high only I think he had two drops.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: All last season.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: And on top of that, he's a good blocker in
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: those type formations they use. He's a really important piece
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: to this offense.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I see him as having a really high upside still,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think he could be a Pro Bowl
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: caliber tight end, but as often as the case at
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that position, it is going to be how you use him.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So do you see him being a bigger target for
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Sam in this upcoming year or to bring back that
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett name. You know, now we've added this monster
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to the division as AJ Barner maybe going to have
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: to stay in and help block a little bit more
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: in a couple of the games, at least during the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: course of the season. I guess a long way of
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: asking what we see an expanded repertoire of AJ Barner
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: I think we will just in terms of reception or
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: you know, in the receiving game. But there's only so
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: much to go around. You got some guy named JSN
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: a healthy Cooper Cup Rashid shi Hed figures to fit
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: back into that scheme as well. If Tory Harten's back,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: like we assume he's going to be healthy, that's going
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: to be a big part of the offense as well.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's only so many receptions to go around,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: but I mean, I think you just look at I mean,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: he jumped up from thirty eight targets in twenty twenty
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: four to sixty eight last season and had fifty two
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: receptions five hundred and nineteen yards. He became an important
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: red zone target as well for this team. And and oh,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: by the way, there's the other element to his game,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: and that's the old barnyard.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Which was really really successful. He had ten ten rushing
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: attempts last season.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: And nine first downs, So like that, that obviously was
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: part of what they were doing too, you know, and
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: they play that, you know, like I said, they the
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: twelve personnel. They averaged seven point five yards per play.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: That was the best in the league at a twelve
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: person personnel. It was the fifth best by any team
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: in the NFL in the last decade out of that
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: out of that formation. So they'll use two tight ends.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: I think it's right around thirty percent of the time
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: last season. Again with Fleury, you would assume it's a
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: similar looking offense. So you know Barner is going to
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: be one of those. Who's the other one? You know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: we know Salbert had at a play last year that
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: will live on forever. Carlos I would call him Carlos.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Elijah Arroyo is going to be a part of the offense.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: We see with Barnar kind of coming off some clean
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: up surgeries as they call it, whatever, the minor stuff
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: he had to kind of get fixed in the offseason.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: You know, we were out there for OTAs last week.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: We'll be out there. Greg and I are both out
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: there doing our shows today and tomorrow. You know we're watching.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: You know, you watch Arroyo and he's I mean the
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: ability to stretch the defense and his speed. I mean,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: we thought he would be the primary receiving tight end.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: I feel think it's Barner. I'm with you.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: I think there's the other part of this game that
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: you said, like, I think there's an upside there, but
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: you know he's going to be used as a blocker.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: They play that condition. This is a human. I don't
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: want to go too far into the humill In world,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: but they play that kind of tighter formation, that condensed formation, right,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: and they that's a big part of the Shanahan Kubiak
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: probably flurry offense. So tight ends and wide receivers closer
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: to the line of scrimmage, closer to the lineman, big
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: part of the run game. That's you know, that's why
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: that's one of the reason to re signed Cooper cup
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: or I'm sorry, I'm Jake Bobo, because they want those guys.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Those guys are cracking back inside those those tight ends
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: and those receivers have to block, and this guy's as
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: good as there is out there. So yeah, I think
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: he's just a really really important piece to this team.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Uh And it was kind of it's it's always fun
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: too to watch guys develop from year one to year two,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: and he's one of those. Listen, even Warri's Abel Witherspoon,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: guys like that have popped in and just jumped off
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: the page from day one. You know, he had a
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: solid rookie year and then he just just exploded last
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: year obviously and had a hell of a second year.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: So trench Coat aside put that thing down and get healthy,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: and I expect, I expect him to be a guy that.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Has a massive year.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: They well, you know what's funny is that. I mean,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: they've wanted to get rid of the tush push for years.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: A lot of people in the National Football Help they
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: were crediting the Eagles World championship to that play, and
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: yet in twenty twenty five they had a sixty four
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: percent success rate. I mean, the originators of the damn
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: controversial tush push sixty four percent and Barner's ninety percent
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: running the barnyard play. That's a tight end taking a
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: snap from center and he's converting on ninety percent of
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the plays. I mean, it's a hell of a weapon
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: to have. And I don't know if he gets enough credit.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, Jalen Hurts take snaps one hundred times a day,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: two hundred, three hundred times a day. A tight end's
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: not getting that many reps underneath center, and yet he
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: successfully converted that play nine out of ten times.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it is. I mean he is. I mean it's and.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: You know he's he's sixty six, sixty five, sixty six,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: he's two hundred and fifty five pounds. I mean, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: you know we always heard about hers. It's like, wow,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: you know he can he can squat up a truck,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: You know his legs are so strong, which is true.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: That's great.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: You got to get low man wins all that fun stuff.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Barner is just a bigger man, you know. And so
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: and they good good on Seattle. I do laugh too,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: because it's like, yeah, let's get rid of this, uh,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: the toush push. And yet here's a team in Seattle
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: that end up utilizing it quite a bit last season,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: and and you know, depending on Charbonay's situation, probably would
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: continue to do.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: So. I don't know.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: I don't think that Jadarian is really a guy that's
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: that's going to get that yard for you.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: And yeah, I mean just yeah, you just keep no,
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: you just keep going with it, right and so yeah,
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: and and and again, I think just what they want
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: to run the tight end in this offense is really important.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: And I think he's one of It's funny too, you
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: mentioned that the Pro Bowl, and that's I think he
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: has that in him. I think also how the tight
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: end is looked at in the NFL with you know,
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: Pro Bowl.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: It's like how many touchdown you have? How many receptions
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: do you have?
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: And you know, so that's where the guys, the Kittles
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: of the world and the Kelsey's and you know, all
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: those types of guys, the Bowers and everybody else. McBride,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: you know, he just find a huge extension right with
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Arizona because he doesn't like to win apparently, so that
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: those guys do that right and and that's how they
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: go about their business. I think Barner's probably comp is
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: probably Mark Andrews, you know, like just he's he can
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: he can catch the ball, he can go down, make
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: the tight catch, big body, but also really important the
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: run game as well. And I think that's a that's
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: a pretty good guy to be compared to.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Well, I hope he doesn't drop passes in pivotal playoff moments.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: That's not all right, got my got my guy Andrews,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: type one diabetic guy, so I got an affinity for me.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: He dropped one that was a big one.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: I'll give you that it was a fairly big one.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Let me use the last minute and a half that
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: we got here on Barnar and just his personality.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: You know him better than I.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're in the locker room obviously, and uh
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and you're out at the vMac a lot.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: More than what we are.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Uh. But I mean from what I hear, I mean,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the biggest trash talker on the field, regardless of team,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and seems to be loved be beloved by his teammates.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: This is a personality that's a bit unique, is it not?
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Kiddle?
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Like I would say, in a sense, right like he
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: he and he really kind of came into his own
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: it seemed like last season, Like I mentioned that, you know,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: seeing him with the offensive line at that cracking game
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: during that bye week, and you know, I remember we
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: asked him about that and he's just like he you know,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: he wants to be an offensive lineman, and most offensive
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: linemen that they're not always going to accept, you know,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: somebody into that group. So you've got to be the
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: physical tight end they could block and do all those
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: things he does. Nobody talks more trash and Witherspoon I
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: would say that, Okay, that's there's a there's a bar
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: that's set rather high. It goes into the Sherman category.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I think if you're putting them in a buckets, that's
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: where Witherspoon is, but this guy's close.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: He's right up there.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I've you know, when the stuff first came out with
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Hard Knocks, and people are like, who's going to be
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: the stars of Hard Knocks, And everyone's like, well, Witherspoon.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe Witherspoon's funny because like Witherspoon on the podium is awful,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Like it's five word answers and very very quiet, sub dude,
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Witherspoon on the field, if they haven't miked up, we'll
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: be a star. AJ Barner, I'm guessing if I'm HBO,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I want a microphone and I want to follow around
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: AJ Barner like that guy trench Coats, the look, the attitude,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: the ability to talk, some smack where he plays. I mean,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: I think this guy will be and I hope it
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: happens because this is a funny team, Like they're just
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: they're kind of subdued. You know, we talked about it
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: on our show the other day. It's like, you know,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: you want to compare this team to the twenty thirteen team,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: for example, right, and you look back, well, that team
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: had bigger than life personalities all the way through, right,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: whether you know, on offense and defense, they had just
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: bigger than life personalities. And I even kind of on
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: the anniversary of the Sonics winning and the Sonics in
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: seventy nine Chuck Wards the same way. I mean, it
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: was fur coats and top hats in June for the
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: parade for those guys, and they were all in and
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: they were all in separate cars because most of them
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: didn't like.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Each other in seventy nine. That's that's kind of the
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: twenty thirteen six.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: These guys just quietly went about their business, did their thing.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Sam Darnold is very you know, is kind of laid
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: back a little bit, and JSN kind of the same way.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Witherspoon talk smack on the field, but he's kind of
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: quiet off the field. You know, all those things. Then
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: you got Aj Barner, like this guy I think would
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: be the personality of the team. If HBO does it
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: right with hard knocks, I think he could be. I
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: think he could be a star. And yeah, I mean
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: we saw him in the parade. I mean, I'm not
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: sure if anybody not since the days of Marshawn lynchen
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: a parades, anybody that much fun and a prade in Seattle.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it's this.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: This cat's going to have some fun this year, and
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I think he's fun to watch and I just like
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: watching a throwback tight end that can catch and can
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: block and do everything like that.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: All right, So show today at the vMac. Yes, at

  Speaker 1: Anything that's on your mind, Sup, Ashley, what's happening with this?
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: Sup?
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Chuck?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: What's going on with that? That's how it works. Four nine,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: four five to one. We need your questions now. Sports
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Sports World doesn't matter entertainment.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about movies.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I'm open to anything. There's nothing you can catch me
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: off guard with. I am an open book, so I
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: won't speak on.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Map of Ashley, but I have a feeling she's willing
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: to play ball too.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Yep, sure, am all right, four nine, four five one.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: We await your questions, fire away, Ashley.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: Sup Chuck from the two five three. If Munios continues
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: to struggle more than his typical more than his typical,
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: do you flip flop him with Brash for the eighth
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: and ninth innings on occasion to get some competition going,
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: maybe raise his level and focus. That way seems to
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: have helped Castillo switching things up.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I see what you're doing there.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think that it's necessary, and I just talked
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: about this with Andrews yesterday on our Stove thirty podcast
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: that you could check out at ninety three three KJER
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: dot com I don't think that he's had the disastrous
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: year that a lot of people are trying to paint.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I think even in that Piggyback one game where he
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: came in and had to inherit traffic, he had a
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: couple chump hits that found grass that I don't know
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: if he got beat on those pitches. I think we've
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: seen a lot of that out of Andres Munios. I
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: think he's a proven closer. I think we have one
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: of those. I don't think he's had a great year
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: to this point, but I don't think he's had a
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: bad year to this point either. And if I were
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: going to replace him and probably be with fair more
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: so than it would be brash.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: But I like where our bullpen guys are right now.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I think that the way they looked two nights ago,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: where you got to use four of them one inning
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: apiece in the right sequence against the right stretch of hitters.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be that easy every time out.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: But that's the first time where I felt like, Okay,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: we're in a rhythm. This bullpen is in a rhythm
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: right now, and I think part of that rhythm is
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Andre's Munios.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: As the closer.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: He's the only proven guy out there.
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I yes, I'm just gonna say yes. Yeah. From
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: the two oh six stup chuck.
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: What's your go to donut to calmly eat, not quickly
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: scarf down on a Sunday morning.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's I got a slam dunk one. And
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think people are gonna like it. I think
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: people are gonna think, oh, of all the donuts, why
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: would you pick that one. I think most people would
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: go with like apple fritter or some sort of depends on.
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: The fritter though they can dry out it really easily.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: See that's the problem. I think most people are looking for,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: like the moistest donut in the box. I like cake donuts,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: and I particularly like pumpkin cake donuts. Oh wow, So
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: there is a pumpkin cake donut without frosting in there.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: That sounds like an old man order.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I know that it does, but I've just always loved
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the pumpkin cake donut.
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: Interesting.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds terrible, and I think pumpkin goes best
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: with coffee of any flavor in the world.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Is a currency, uh.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: And so yeah, that you know, it's a great thing
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: about having the doughnut nobody else likes.
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: It's always there for no one's touching it. It's not
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: been cut to pieces. I am if, I mean.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I'll go a little like if they decided to glaze
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: it midnight. I handle that. I can handle that.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, but that almost feels like it feels good going down.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: It doesn't feel as good like an hour later.
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: Okay. Yeah, mine used to be old fashioned.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: That was my Oh I love old fashion.
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but then an app I think there's nothing better
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: than a donut shop that makes an amazing apple fritter.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: Like if you go to Chucks and Renton or Henry's
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: in muchael Teo best apple fritters ever?
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: You always your apple fritter and maple bar. Yeah, people,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: but I'm with you. Uh.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Second favorite is old fashion.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: Then I found out they have sour cream in them,
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: and that can't them. Let's see, sup, Ashley. If you
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: could be one of the Golden Girls, who would you be?
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: And why?
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: Very good question, and that is going to take some
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: thought because the joy of all the Golden Girls is
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: that they all have a quality we can see in ourselves.
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: But really, yeah, I think.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Not sure I've ever had that experience.
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, no, it's it's true.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: I think i'd want to be Sophia because she does
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: not give a you know, she is who she is.
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: She goes about her business and uh yeah, I like
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: that about her.
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: She's sarcastic.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Sarcastic.
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Dorothy also sarcastic. But Dorothy Sophia's daughter, so you'd
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: expect that, right, like mom, like daughter, right right right.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: Rose is just a little too ditsy, and Blanche is
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: just a little too look.
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: At me, and I'm well that too good for Blanche.
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: You know what, Get some.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Somebody asking that Golden Girls question?
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, uh sup, Chuck from the four to two five,
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: who on this team do you think makes the all start?
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Oh oh, we can start thinking about that. Huh Well,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Julio for sure, Randy for sure. Those are two for
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: sure guys right there.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I still think Cal's got a chance to get voted
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: in because he became that popular a year ago, even
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: though he shouldn't be in, Even though he shouldn't be
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: voted for, should be Dylan Dingler from the Tigers. It
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: is a funny name. It sounds sort of like a Wiener.
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but Dylan out again.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I I'm thinking those two for sure, man, and then
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: there's a potential for I think a couple different pitchers.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, Emerson might be the third. Having the third
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: best overall statistical season this year. Is Emerson Hancock not cold?
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Emerson is not enough, But I would say Randy and
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Julio are locks at this point, and I think maybe
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock would get on the team.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Believe it or not.
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I like that idea we've got from Todd.
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: This is an interesting question.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Like interesting questions, they're a lot better than boring ones.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Chuck and Ashley. If the Mariners were a cocktail,
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: what cocktail would they be? A spicy margarita, a tequila
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: old fashion I've never heard of that. A bourbon neat
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: it's gotta be. Yeah, I'm going to go Long Island
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: iced ty. They're kind of a mix of a lot
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: of different things depending on the day, and they'll get
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: you drunk, they'll get you drunk fast.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: They will get you there. I think I'm going to
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: go with Ashley on this. I think that's kind of
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: what they are. Well, I what's a like elevated version
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: of a Long Island iced tea? Because I think a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Long Island iced tea, and that's just the guy that
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: wants to go to the bar and get as drunk
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: as fast as what it's like. But you're right, it's
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: got to be one of those where there's a lot
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: of stuff in there and it's got to get you
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: drunk pretty quickly. But I'd like to have an elevated
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: version of a Long Island iced tea.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: So what would that be.
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: What's a classier place than Long Island. Let's go with
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: a Manhattan I.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought the answer was all of them.
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, them everywhere.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so in Manhattan over a.
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: I'm just thinking Manhattan's a classier place.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: I'd call it an iced tea still because you still
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: got to put all the booze in there. And the
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: problem with a lot of other cocktails is that it's like.
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: One, right, yeah, how many?
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: He's not a bloody Mary, just one just vodka vodka.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: I can't be that. You could do like I might
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: go spicy margarita.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: I was gonna say, or yeah, or a Cadillac martgarita
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: because you've got the tequila, but then you get the
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: Grand Marnier floater on top, so you get a little
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: extra booze.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Waited so long to start drinking. I never did experiment
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: with a bunch of things. I'm pretty much either just
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: a bourbon, martini, beer or wine guy. Yeah, pretty much
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: all I ever drink. So that's a harder question for
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: me to answer. But I would say, whatever is a
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Long Island ice t that is classier to order.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: That's what the Mariners are.
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: The two six did say, actually, that's perfect. Too much
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: of a Long Island iced tea is the same as
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: having too much of the Mariners.
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: Disagree. We can never have too much Mariners.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, let's see if we have one more we
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: can do quickly here.
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: Ooh, trying to edit all all right?
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Four?
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: Two, five?
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Sup?
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: Show Sup? With Dutton Ranch. Have y'all been watching not
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: at all? I have not yet.
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: It's on my list, but we had to get through
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: some shows before we go there. I have been watching
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: Marshalls don't love it. That's along with Casey.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I can I make a confession about this.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, I really think that Beth and Rip we're
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: great characters and you do end up rooting for them,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: but they're terrible people.
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: They're not good people.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: They're horrible people, and yet to make them like the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: focus of the show and to make them kind of
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what the show is. Maybe
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: they're making them out to be villains, but I'm not
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: sure you'd be better off, to me making them out
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: to be villains rather than making them out to be protagonists.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I think they're more antagonists than protagonists. So I don't
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: think I'm interested in watching them glorified because I think
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: really at their core, one's just a murderer who's got
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: really screwed up principles, and then the other one is
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: just the last person on earth that you would want
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: to get to know and try to be friends with.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: I honestly, I hear you.
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: I still love them both, and they're.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Great characters and their relationship is fun. Yeah, but I
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: don't think like each other. I think that's the only
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: thing that could happen there.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: That's probably fair. I've heard really good things about the show, though,
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: so I haven't watched it. It is on my list, but.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, Bonnie and Clyde was a great movie, but
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: we got to acknowledge that they're just Robin Banks, right,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: you know, and they have a great chemistry, but they
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: really are just criminals.
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: Although when you think about it, I feel like there's
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: a lot of shows these days that are focused on
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: bad people.
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: I mean the Penguin, right, that's terrible, and I like those.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: If you're making them out to be like the villains
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: like Bonnie and Clyde types, I think that I would
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: watch it if you're trying to make it out so
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: that I'm rooting for them and they're they're suddenly good.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: They're right and everybody else is wrong, which is kind
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: of how they finished Yellowstone, you know, like they were
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: in the right and everybody else was wrong, even though
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: they were in the wrong constantly.
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they went about everything the wrong way.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, then I can I can handle it. But let's
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: let's call you know, let's call it what it is. Yeah,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: all right, great questions.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much. We appreciate it. NBA Final start tonight.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: And yes, there is a rooting interest here in Seattle,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: make no doubt about its sports radio ninety three point
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: three KJRFM.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, clarify something real quickly. I'm not some moral
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: high and mighty TV watcher.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, I love the show Hannibal, and you can't
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: get more villainous than that character.
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: You've seen that one, No, I have not, but you
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: said you said that you didn't think I would like it.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Terrifying, but the acting is phenomenal, and it is.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a big Silence of the Lambs guy.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: But anyway, the point is, I don't mind watching a
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: show where the star is the villain.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Let's just call it what it is.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go watch something like you're trying
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: to feed me like, oh, you should be rooting for
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: these two people and I don't even.
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: Really, I don't know if I like them all that see,
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: And that is where I do run into that problem too,
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: because I'm like, I'll sit there saying I feel weird
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: rooting for them. They're terrible, but here I am root
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: and it is like that was Penguin. I felt bad
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: rooting for him to just be terrible.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: That was done strategically.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: That was so brilliant because you lost track of That's
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: why they had to do that ending. Yeah, I'm not
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: gonna give that away, but that's why they had to
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: do that ending the way that they did it, because
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: they had to remind you if you've been rooting for
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: this guy, you missed the point. He is a super villain.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's awful.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and so we had to remind you before
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: we wrapped it up. He Yeah, he won the day,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: but if you've been rooting for him, you missed the message.
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: And it was that ending. I was pissed.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so well done though, Yeah, so well done.
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: Tahoe Jeff on our YouTube feed did say, I'm getting
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: tired of shows where everyone is bad. I've lost interest
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: in that sort of show. I get it because it
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: is more of an emotional mind f.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I like shows like Game of Thrones is one of
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: my favorite shows until they ruined it with the last
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: two seasons. But I do like the shows where there's
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit of good in everybody and there's a
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: little bit of bad in everybody and you're trying to
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: navigate because that's kind of life. Yeah, and then there
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: are a couple that are just purely good that they're
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: rare in life, and there are a few that are
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: just purely evil and they're rare in life. But pretty
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: much the rest of us are kind of in between. Yeah,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: And every day is a struggle to make the right
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: decision in that moment. I think that's life. So I
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: actually like those shows where all the characters are conflicted.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed them.
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: I prefer the mayor of Kingstown.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: I love that I.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Write about them. Those are the stories that I write.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: But the ones that are just pure like evil and uh.
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: It's hard, it's hard to watch.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: All right, where are we at? All right?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: NBA tonight finals get underway in San Antonio, Texas. I
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: know most sports fans like to have a rooting interest,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: sort of like television watching in the series, and maybe
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: normally you wouldn't have one Nicks versus Spurs. Maybe you'd
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: side with the Spurs just because they're not New York City.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: But in this case, we have clearly come up with
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: a team that we're rooting for here in Seattle, because
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: not only are the Spurs very likable, not only is
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Wimby just fascinating to watch play every single second of
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: every single game, not only is he surrounded by a
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: very interesting supporting cast. But of course they knocked off
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: the thunder kept them from repeating as world champs, which
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: made everybody happy. And maybe most notably, they are coached
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: by Mitch Johnson.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Who is a local guy.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm so glad that we're getting to know Mitch
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Johnson's story better. I mean, I didn't grow up here,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: so I kind of had to learn this here. In
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Spencer's been a great teacher
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: for us of why we should love Mitch Johnson here
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: in Seattle and the job he's doing as head coach
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: of the Spurs while representing Seattle all the time. And
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: they are best friends, the two of them. They've been
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: in each other's weddings, and Spencer keeps popping around to
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Spurs games. If you haven't noticed, maybe you have noticed
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: to take in this entire ride there on to the
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: NBA Finals. And I asked Spencer earlier this week about
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: how rewarding it is for him to see Mitch Johnson
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: get his love here.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: In Seattle, like I can't even put into words.
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: I mean, he's been one of my best friends since
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: going back to high school and to watch his journey
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: and and you know, even going to Stanford, I think
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: was uh everyone assumed he'd stay at home and he'd
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: kind of always been uh been in the shadows with
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: even on his own AAU team with uh Sean Brockman
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: and Martel and Mike, and I think going to Stanford
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: gave him a chance to kind of spread his wings.
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: And then you know, having to go over and playing
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: Europe in the G League and then having that not
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: work out and coming.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Home and all right, what am I gonna do? Now
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: I'm coaching.
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna start coaching kids, and now I'm gonna start
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: coaching a high school team, and all right, now I
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: got to move my family down to Austin, Texas and
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: you know, go coach in the.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: G League and grind out down there.
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: I mean, uh, there was nothing on his path that
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: was the easy way to do things. And he kept
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: grinding and and he kept trusting himself and and uh,
• 35:52
  Speaker 8: you know, choosing choosing some great people around him to
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: help mentor him into that role. And uh, it's just
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: I'm so happy for him and his family and the Spurs,
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: and I mean, I just it's you take a step back,
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: it's hard to believe his first official year of coaching. Yeah,
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: he's going to play, going to Chase Hilario O'Brien in
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: a couple of nights.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: So that's phenomenal.
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: Just proud of them, happy, for him and can't wait
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: for four more.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great stuff, great, yeah, no doubt about it, and
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: just seems to be handling all of this success and stride.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: He's obviously very good at what he does.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: The only thing I would push back on from Spencer's
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: comments about Mitch Johnson was he chose to surround himself
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: with the right people. I'm sure there was an element
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: of Mitch Johnson, you know. I'm sure that that was
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: his choice to be around Greg Popovich. But what makes
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: it even more interesting, in my opinion, is Greg Popovich
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: was so accomplished he got to choose who was around him.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: It wasn't as easy as Mitch got to choose who
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: mentored him. Pop has to choose you. And I think
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: it makes the Mitch Johnson story even better that that's well,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I really love to get in on this group, and
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Greg Popovich is like, yes, and I want you a board.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: And not only did he get a board in that group,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: he was the guy that Pops handed the torch to.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: For goodness sake, we're talking about one of the greatest,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: if not the greatest basketball coach of all time, and
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: also one of the greatest and most respected leaders in
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: the history of the league, saying I'm getting ready to
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: hand this thing off and it should go to Mitch Johnson.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: And obviously it was a great choice, obviously.
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's been fun to watch, and I think
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: he's got a lot of Spurs fans here in town.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. And so it gets started tonight, game
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: number one. It will be in San Antonio, Texas, Spurs
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: versus Nicks, and a lot of people jumping on the
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Knicks now, a lot of people picking, a lot of
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: the experts are picking the Knicks right now, I'm gonna
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: go with the Spurs. I'm gonna stick with the Spurs.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: I think they are a better team on paper. If
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the Knicks keep playing that well, they're gonna win. But
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: I just don't think they can keep playing that well.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: And I think that the matchup problems that San Antonio
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: is going to create are going to force them out
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: of that comfort zone that they've been in as of late.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to take the Spurs and six.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: Okay, I think it's going to go to seven games,
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: but I also am taking the Spurs, and I'm excited
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: to watch the game tonight and find the seven foot
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: tall Seattle native Caboy.
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: I'm sure he's going. It's in San Antonio.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I glaut he is.
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: I'm sure he's it. I'm sure he's there.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Well, where's where's Spencer? You play a game of fun game? Yeah?
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: All right, it's coming up next on the program The
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett Impact and How It's Being Felt.
