  Speaker 1: Is that why why you've been taking them on and all?

• 1:36
  Speaker 3: my head.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, I see, okay, all right.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: And I tried other headphones, but I couldn't hear everything,
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: so it didn't work either.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Boy, you just can't win. Can't win, not in this
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: game of life.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: That's the truth.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: My name is Chuck Powell. Welcome into our show. I
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: gotta start with this because I don't know why this
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: creeps into a person's mind, but I'm the power of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the mind. Because number one, you and I talked, was
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: it on air or off air about dreams last night
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: or yesterday? Yeah? It was Yeah, And I ended up
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: having dreams all night long, like and and you know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: like a weed, mental weed grows wild in the dark
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: like it it just like you will imagine a problem
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: so big. And I had convinced myself overnight after a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: couple of weird, wacky dreams that I was just about
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: ready to physically die. Oh and now all of a sudden,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I'm like going to get my cup of water. I'm like, man,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I feel great. This morning, and I'm like, wait a minute,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: didn't I just like two hours ago, didn't hadn't I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: convinced myself as I was waking up out of my
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: slumber that I was gonna die, that I wasn't gonna
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: make it through the day. Literally did happen? Uh? And
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: then the power of the mind, I am driving to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: work and for whatever reason, it crosses my mind, even
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: though it's too late, I wonder if my pen that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I use at work is just about out of ink. Oh,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: just randomly crosses my mind, like I probably should have
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: grabbed another pen this morning, just to have a backup,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: because it's been a while since I've replaced that one.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And damn if I didn't come in here start writing
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: down the rundown and this pen ran out of ink
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: as I was running down writing the rundown. No evidence
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: of it yesterday, none at all. Just for some reason,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: randomly popped into my head my ink pen might be
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: running out of ink, and damn if it didn't do it.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: On the first page of notes, I wrote this one.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I hope that's the only thing you write about today.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: That's something.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want you to write about your other dreams.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, you know what, I'm fine with it at
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: this point.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, all right there, bring it on, Bring it
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: on there. What are you gonna do?
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Won't you haar me over to another?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: There?
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: What's that from?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Uh? Oh brother?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Do it?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Okay? The way you're saying it, I was like, it's
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: gotta be from my brother. Where aren't though?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: There's some poisoned thoughts for your mind this morning, just
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to get us going. All right, well, welcome into the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: radio program. Let us talk about last night's home run derby.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: And I don't know why I had any concerns about this.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: They addressed my biggest complaints Netflix first time ever hosting
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the home run derby, they in my opinion, address my
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: biggest complaints. I missed the hitter being able to admire
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: his own shot. There's something too. It's slowing down and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: just appreciating just how the mammoth shots that some of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: our hitters can hit in Major League Baseball. And so
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that was one thing I missed. I think the clock
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: kind of ruined that. Also. I thought ESPN every year
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: tried to reinvent itself and tried to show the latest
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and greatest and camera angles to try to show us
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the home run derby they experimented every year, and I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: think that we missed. And Netflix did some of that
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: last night too, but I think that ESPN was missing.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: They would always start, we'll do it this way, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: then somebody about a third of the way through would
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: say it looks terrible. Everybody's complaining on social media. Back
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the damn camera's out, so we can actually see the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: swings of the hitters. Yeah, because most baseball fans, if
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you can just back it off the way we usually
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: watch hitters play baseball, most of us can tell whether
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: they got it or not, but not when you shove
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the camera right in their face. We can't tell by
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: that swing. So Netflix did that a little bit, but
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it feels like they course corrected quicker than what ESPN
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: has in the past. So those have been my two
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: biggest complaints. And damn if they didn't correct that. I
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: was a little worried with no clock at all, that
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: we'd go back to David Ortiz taking thirty five pitches
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in between every swing. And we had some of that,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: but it didn't take away from the event. They are
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: saying it was the best home run derby ever, and
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I disagree. That was fantastic last night.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was well done, and I think too, just
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: in terms of the drama that you want, the fact
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: that you've got the hometown guy vying for you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: just the all.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: It was everything. The only thing that would have been
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I think better was if Schwarber would have won it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: That would have been good.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: But at the same time, that was really just to
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: appease I guess the Philadelphia fans, right, whereas at least
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: he's in it at the end and he's that it
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: was great.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Well. I love the.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Flashing lights too that everyone had on.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah fans, and look Philly, that's Philly and we got
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a taste of Philly last night. And I don't think
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: they were booing Jordan Walker because I mean they were
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: booing Jordan Walker because they wanted their guy to win.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: That's that's what it came down to. And they might
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: have been booing Wilson Contreras for other reasons, but that's
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the Philly fan. They just when they've got a guy
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and Philly, they just love that guy. And by the way,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: they're really hard on the guys. They don't like even
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: great ones like Mike Schmidt did not have a great
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: relationship with Phillies fans, and he's the greatest Philly ever.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: But these two, Harper and Schwarber, I don't know if
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I even liked Bryce Harper all that much at one
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: point in his career. I do now like there is
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: something about him where it is where you can see
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: like all of his teammates love him. Yes, he seems
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to be all about winning. At one point, I do
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: think he was about himself. I think with the Washington Nationals,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons he got on my poopolist to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: begin with was I thought during his free agency year
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: he wasn't playing as hard. He was like trying not
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to risk injury. I can't stand that in an athlete.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: He wanted to make sure he got his payday. But
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and maybe maybe that's part of his journey, because since
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: he's gotten to Philadelphia, he's just given them everything he
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: has on and off the field. And for Schwarber to
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: be like rooting for him over himself at one point,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: that was cool. I mean, I like the Philly vibe
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: last night. I love how much they love baseball. I
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: love how much they love their own But I also
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: loved that this young Jordan Walker, who's had a breakthrough
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: season for the Saint Louis Cardinals after two years of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: misery at the major league level, went out there and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: just was like, I can win this thing. I'm just
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: gonna take a deep breath between every swing and I'm
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: gonna hit him all out and I just a comeback attempt.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: It was like it was like watching those nature shows
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and you know that beast is just bigger, stronger, and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: faster than that beast, and he is just going to overtime,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: overtake them and eat him, eat him on the SERENGETI.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: That's kind of how it felt last night watching Walker
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: just come back. There was even this look on Schwarber's
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: face like.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, geez, yeah, like, oh, you can really hit.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I don't have that kind of power. Yeah, I mean
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of power, but that power is easy.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Like he didn't even hit that well and he crushed
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: it into the second deck. So I just thoroughly entertained
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: from Wilson Contraras's first round, which was the most impressive
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: round of the entire night, to Jordan Walker chasing down
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the hometown guy who's an amazing power hitter for all
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: of us to see. I thought it was fantastic from
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: beginning to end. Well done Netflix, Well done major League Baseball,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and well done to Major League Baseball players because may
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: they didn't get Otani and Judge and Trout and the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: six biggest names in baseball, but they do an amazing
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: job finding people that will put on a show. And
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: there wasn't one bad round in this entire Home Run
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Derby this year. Yeah.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I do think the one bummer though, is when the
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: best round happens early, But it made up for it
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: with the drama that you got later, you know, because
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: usually you're That happened to Julio too, I think when
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: he was in if I remember correctly, when he was
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: in his home Run derbyfore earlier round was amazing and
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: then it and so that's always kind of a bummer.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: But I think it made up for it with the
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: fact that we got different drama, not just the best rounds.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: And you know what else I loved. I loved the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: limited swings there. I mean Julio for sure, like I mean,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: didn't he had like fifty five swings in a round
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: like something like that. Nobody, I mean maybe fans like
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to see that, but nobody in the Mariners organization was
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: enjoying that.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: No.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Julio came out of the if you remember, came out
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: of that and was injured to start the second half
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of the season, and so I'm glad they're limiting the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: number of swings. I thought that was another nice touch
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to this year's home run derby, and so, yeah, there
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: was a lot of meat left on the bone. I'm
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: sure we could have seen a lot more home runs
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: from the participants last night, but I was glad that
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: they weren't just completely tired and had to take two
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: timeouts and had to have gatorade breaks and their kids
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: came over and toweled them off. I did not miss that.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: To me, it was a great rhythm to it all. Now,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: one of the eight could have acted like David Ortiz
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and maybe ruined it if they took too many pitches,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: if they were taking too much time between pitches, if
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: they were abusing the fact that there was no clock.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: But I think everybody approached it the right way and
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: they just gave us one heck of a show. And
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: maybe there were a few home runs that we could
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: have seen that were left on the table, But leave
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: them one and most saying that's the goal, right, that's
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the philosophy of entertainment, leaving leave them wanting more. Yeah.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Uh and and I think that we got all of
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that last night. I thought it was fantastic. And I
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: mean there were times where I was laughing. I mean
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I love seeing the teammates that are there supporting the participants.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I loved how much you could tell Lozardo and Marsh
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and all the other Phillies like Bow with the altar
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: of Schwarber and Harper. I loved seeing that.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: They just looked in awe the whole time and just
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: But all those guys that get to be there, they
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: look they always look in awe of a home run
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: derby and that's half the fun.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: They look like little kids watching people play.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they can hit home runs. Brandon Marsh can
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: hit home runs too, Yeah he could. He could pops
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: few out, but there's just a difference and that he
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: recognizes and they always recognize like, now, I can hit
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: home runs, but I'm not a home run hitter. Yeah.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: My two teammates, my guys Bryce and Kyle, who I love,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: those are home run ters. Yeah, And I love seeing
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: that I love seeing it in the faces of the teammates,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: no question about it. But it was fantastic. I mean
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: really fantastic. And I was a little worried that it
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: would get bogged down. I thought Netflix would try to
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: put on too big of a show last night. Now,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: granted I did not listen to the audio. I was
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: not around the audio, so I didn't get the full
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: experience of the Philadelphia Phillies fans. And I don't know
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: if the broadcasters ruined it or not. I have no idea,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: but in terms of visually, the way that they captured it,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the way that they pasde it, I thought it was fantastic. Again,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I love that the players participate in it. I mean,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe there was some complaints about, well, where's
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: this guy or where's that guy? But I mean, if
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: if the NBA could get one guy who condunk as
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: well as the eighth best power hitter that was on
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: display last night, man, that would be like a breakthrough
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: for the National Basketball Association that they got one player
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: in their entire league who knows how to dunk, that
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: has a name recognition, that would actually participate in something
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: fun that the fans would love to see Baseball does
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: not have a problem with that. Baseball gets eight that.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody put on a show last night. It
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: was It was just great, So you know, check Mark.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was. I've had a lot of home
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: run Derbies where it came on the next day and
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: had nothing but complaints. But I got nothing but praise
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: for what we watched last night. That was fun.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: And I was actually surprised, to which I don't know
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: if this helps or not, but I had low expectations
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: for it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I wasn't. This is probably one of the least excited
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: I've been for the home run derby.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Oh so I wonder if that made it seem better too,
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: because I went in not overly hyped about it.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: No, because Tim Kirkchin is the opposite of you. Yeah,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I mean Tim Kirkchin went into it with every expectation
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: in the world and he was blown away. So and
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I went into it, I think, I mean, the reviews
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: have been just fantastic, So I don't think it really
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: did depend on whether or not you went in with
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: low expectations or the highest expectations. I think everybody had
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: to have been satisfied. Philadelphia seemed satisfied last night. Base
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: MLB seemed satisfied last night, and all the participants seemed
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: satisfied last night, So I thought it was fantastic.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: The All Star Game is not on Netflix though, right, No.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: That's on regular I think I'm not sure what network.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: It's Yeah, Fox, Okay, I'll find out.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's on Fox.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So five o'clock All Star Game tonight on Fox.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: But well done Jordan Walker. And he's an interesting story himself.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: There was this six foot six inch, two hundred and
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: forty five pound monster who came up through the Cardinals
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: system and was supposed to take the league by storm.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: And he struggled for two years and people wondered if
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: he was never going to be any good at all. Uh,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: And then this year sort of had a revelation this
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: off season that I am just inside my head physically.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I can do everything that I dreamed I could do
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: at the major league level, but I gotta get outside
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: my head. And so that's what he worked on in
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the off season, and he has had an All Star
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: campaign this year, and then last night he stole the
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: show by winning the home run derby. So just great
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: stories everywhere. It was terrific. All right, we'll talk about
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: it a little bit later on in the program, but
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: let's find out what else is on tap for today's
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: showing What's on Tech.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: What's on Tech brought to you by Emerald Queen Casino
• 16:44

• 16:55
  Speaker 1: All Star Game tonight at five o'clock. Now, this might
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: not live up to our expectations. Usually this is a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: low scoring affair, and they have a problem right now
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball with players tapping out, and this
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: is I mean, they put together a good derby field,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: but they can't get one hundred percent participation anywhere close
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: to it anymore in the actual game itself. A lot
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: of guys just choosing team, like I want to be
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I want the five days off, I don't want to
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: throw one inning. I don't want to risk anything. I
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: want to be there for my teammates to start the
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: second half. And also I want I'm having an All
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Star season. I don't want anything to disrupt that. So
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: there's a business decision there too. But It does get
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: problematic when you see a lot of players that are
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: gonna miss from the game. So a lot of them
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: are showing up. They'll you know, tip their cap to
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the crowd. But don't be caught off guard. How many
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: of the All Stars that were either starters or reserves
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: have decided not to play in this game and had
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to be replaced. Now, somehow, with all of those replacements,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: we still only have one representative. Randy or Rose Arena
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: will be the only Mariner playing tonight, So we'll watch
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Randy and forget about him loafing after a flyball down
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the line the other day. Christopher Sanchez will be the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: starting pitcher for the National League, so he is a Philly.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: He'll get to pitch in front of the hometown fans
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and Dylan ces he's earned it. He's been terrific for
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jays. He'll be the starter in the
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: American League. Let's see, Mariners won't play again until Friday.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: That's when the second half of the season begins, and
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: they'll start at home against the San Francisco Giants. All
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: sorts of things talk about with Ryan Healy, I would
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: imagine he's participated in a home run derby or two
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: in his life, so we'll ask the former Mariner about that.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Coming up at nine o'clock today. It is trade season.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: It's another huge topic this week while we're on break,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of people diving into the trade conversations. The
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: truth of the matter is there are only seven sellers
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: right now in the sport, in the entire sport, and
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much that's going to grow that
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: list between now and the start of August, but it's
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: a little difficult to navigate a trade right now and
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: it's why we haven't seen any activity. We'll talk about
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: that a little bit later on. We will also fire
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: up follow up on my show yesterday about firing Dan Wilson.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Seemed to get some attention yesterday. Ian was like, did
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: you really go that far?
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, wish that far.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: So we'll have a little bit of a follow up
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: on that today since that was a big topic on
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the show yesterday. And we will have a draft recap
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: the MLB draft over the weekend as well. And every
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: year we chat with Scott Hunter, so he'll be with
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: us today at eight o'clock. The World Cup resumes today.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: We are to the Final Four. As most of you know,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Spain versus France playing today at noon? Is it right here?
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Are we doing that today?
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: I believe?
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, on the mother Ship today at noon. So
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: our World Cup coverage continues here on KJAR. Tomorrow Argentina
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: versus England. Andrews Hurst will join us today at nine thirty.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: We'll set up the Final Four for you right here
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: on Chuck and Buck. We are what eleven days away
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: from NFL training camp, so it's this time of the
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: year where we really do get our juices going football
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: is here basically, so it's why we're doing the Huskies
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: one series this week seven oh five. Today, Mario Bailey's
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: going to join us to talk about the Huskies running
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: backs and wide receivers as they get ready to launch
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six campaign, and we will also from
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the National Football League. We've got a lot of lists.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: It's list season in the National Football League. Everybody puts
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: out their lists this time of the year so they
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: can get people talking about the National Football League because
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: it's only it's been a whole seven minutes since we
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: were obsessed with the NFL. Well, and that is way
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: too long for some people. To go without us. I
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: don't want to tune in and listen to baseball or
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: soccer or basketball or anything else. I want you to
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: talk about football. So list Season satisfies that for the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: football fan. And we're actually going to go over a
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: couple of those lists in our next segment, because it's
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: time for OPQ here on Chuckin' Box Sports Radio ninety
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: three point three kha RFM.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Oh you knows these sons of yeah uns.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the way you operate. I mean, you act
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: like you don't, but you do. In the secret of
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: your own home, when the wife's not there and the
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: kids are out in the yard. There you are on
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the internet pouring over other people's quarterbacks, you little you scamps. Yeah,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: shame on you, and you know what, shame on me
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: for being able to recognize how your mind works. But
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I also just.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Know your mom knows the magazine under the mattress.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, yes, exactly, your magazine of your fantasy football magazine preparation.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. So every once in a while we
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: do this segment called OPQ where we talk about other
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: people's quarterbacks, and of course it is list season in
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: the National Football League Football people, people that own that
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: call themselves sports fans, but only like football. They can't
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: stand not being the center of attention or having their
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: favorite sport be the center of attention. And so about
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: this time, even though we're just eleven day shy of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: training camp, I mean, it's going to be here before
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: you know it. We got to put together lists and
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: ranking things, and we got to break stories that compare
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: certain players to other players so that we have more
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: things football wise to discuss. And so NFL excuse me,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: ESPN came out with quarterback rankings yesterday. Poor Mike Sando,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: he's been doing is tiers for years and now all
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, ESPN's got to do the list.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: First, of course, and I like tiers for years. They
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: were a great eighties.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: We were a great man oh man, Yeah.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I love everybody wants to rule the world.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, uh, of course a top this list that
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the ESPN people came out with. There's a lot of
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: conversation about why Josh Allen could be ahead of Patrick Mahomes.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Allen doesn't even make it to the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes has won three Super Bowls. For
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: goodness sake, and so the national conversation, how could you
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: put Alan ahead of Mahomes? And then the other side,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: how could you not put Alan ahead of Mahomes? And
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I suppose it's led to a lively debate. I mean,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: if the if the list is most accomplished quarterbacks currently
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, then Patrick Mahomes is number one. But
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the list is not that. The list is who's the
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: best quarterback right now? And they are asking other executives
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: their opinions, just like Mike Sando does with his tears
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: for years. And so they're asking executives like who's the
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: best quarterback right now? And they're choosing Josh Allen narrowly
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: over Patrick Mahomes, but over Patrick Mahomes. And yeah, I
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: think anybody can see that. I think Patrick Mahomes has
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of great football. I've said this numerous times
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: in the past that I think Patrick Mahomes is going
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: to have another stretch of incredible football. I think his
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: time with the Travis Kelsey group is over with, but
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: once they kind of flush that out of the system
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: and give Mahomes new weapons. I mean, we're watching quarterbacks
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: because of the way they're protected today have careers well
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: into their forties now, and so he's thirty years old,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: and he's had a couple of injuries here in the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: last couple of years, and he also has had a
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I think a little bit difficult time kind of adjusting
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: to his new personnel, which isn't as good as the
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: old personnel, even Kelsey. New Kelsey's not nearly as good
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: as old Kelsey. And yet he's a huge part of
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: their offense. That's a major adjustment that an offense has
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: to make because you also have to deal with the
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: sensitivities of a shortfire, first ballot Hall of Famer not
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: being the guy that he used to be. So that's
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: so I think Patrick Mahomes is going to have another
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: terrific run of seven years ahead of him coming up
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: in his National Football League career. But the truth of
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the matter is, I mean, this is somebody that we
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: were introduced to in twenty eighteen in his first full
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: season in the National Football League, who threw for five
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: thousand yards and fifty touchdowns. Well, I mean he's not
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: lived up to that since I mean that's the bar
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: that he set from a statistical standpoint, he hasn't even
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: had a four thousand yard season since twenty twenty three.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: And I know he had the injury at the end
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: of last season, but there was a good chance he
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: wasn't gonna get there again last year. So and last
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: year twenty two touchdowns and eleven interceptions. It's not terrible,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: but he's not good. And so statistics, yeah, they don't
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: tell the whole story. You'd still rather have the champion,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: but you got to get to the playoffs first. And
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the truth of the matter is, and this, this tells
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: nothing of the whole story. But Patrick Moons might not
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: even be a starting quarterback for your fantasy team, your
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: fantasy league this year. I mean, that's how much the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: statistics have dropped off with a guy that we put
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: at the top of the list because of his three
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl championships. Like I said, I think he's going
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: to get back to being to having a great run.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's done winning Super Bowls, frankly, and
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I know he's not done finishing off his Hall of
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Fame resume, but it's been three four years since he's
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: been Get on my back, I don't care who I have.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be the best player on the field.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. I mean, I watched Josh Allen and I
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: think to myself, that guy makes more plays than Patrick
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Mahomes does. Now, now the problem is, and this is
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: why it's such an interesting conversation, Josh Allen can't win
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs or he can't win the big one,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: and last year was his worst performance in a playoff out.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: He's the reason the Bill's lost that game in Denver,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: and so that's where the conversation becomes quite interesting. But yeah,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: these are executives being pulled. These are people that are
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: making these decisions. These aren't fans making these decisions. These
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: aren't players who are terrible at voting making these decisions.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: These are NFL executive front office people that are saying,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I'd rather face Patrick Mahomes than Josh Allen if I've
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: got to win a football game that day, And that
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense to me.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes sense to me too.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't put Mahomes over Alan based on what we've
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: seen last year, especially, but obviously with his injury, you
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: can't do anything up or he can't do anything about that.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: But I don't think that he was very impressive before
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: the injury.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: And he wasn't.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, and you can go back to the last
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl and that wasn't a good outing by the Chiefs.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: And so don't I think that people want to rank
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Mahomes based on his the entirety of his career.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can't do that. Yeah, I mean, if
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: that's the list we're making, he's number one, right, But.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: That's yeah, but that's not the list that they're making.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: So anyone that's arguing that he should be ahead of Alan,
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: I think, yeah, you want to think about the entirety
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: of his career. Well, for sure, he's better than Josh Allen,
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: but that's not what this list is.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he hasn't had more than thirty touchdowns and four seasons.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's crazy. And to have gone from fifty in
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: season one.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: That's Matt Stafford had forty six. Last year, Patrick Mahomes
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: had twenty two. I had there was a guy that
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: had more than double the touchdown passes than Patrick Mahomes
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: had a year ago. And I'm sure there's a lot
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: of reasons to explain this. I watched Patrick Mahomes and
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I still think he's great. But you know, Tom Brady
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: was not considered the best. I mean, there was a
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: big conversation. Tom Brady was winning the championships and Peyton wasn't.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: But a lot of people, including me and perhaps mistakenly,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: thought Peyton was the better quarterback. He didn't have Bill Belichick,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: he didn't have the Patriots defense. You know, look at
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the numbers he's putting up. Until Tom Brady had that
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Randy Moss I can put up if you give me
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the right weapons, give me a Hall of Fame wide receiver,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: and watch the numbers I'll put up. And then he
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: put up individual statistics in a season on with anybody
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: in history. And now all of a sudden, eyes got
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: up a night Oh okay, yeah. And then he tacked
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: onto that more championships, and then he tacked onto that
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: incredible longevity, and then he just pulled away from Peyton.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: And now he's not only considered better than Peyton Manning,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: he's considered the greatest quarterback of all time and maybe
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: the greatest football player of all time of all time.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: But he needed those numbers in order to put himself
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: put distance between himself and Peyton Manning. Like the championships
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: kind of weren't enough, he also had to show I
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: can put up numbers too, if you give me Kronk
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: and Moss, I got two Hall of Famers to throw
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: to like Peyton's had during during the course of his career,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and so now it's indisputable. But I think Tom had
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: to have the consistently good statistics to show I'm not
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: just making the big plays when the team requires it,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: even though that's a huge, huge feather in his cap.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: He also had to show, hey, you give me the
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: right offense, you give me the right weapons around me,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: I can put up better numbers than anybody that's ever
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: played that game, this game, and so they do matter.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: They do matter in the conversation. And right now Patrick
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Mahomes just is not putting up impressive statistics and it's
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: been three seasons since he's done that. Yeah.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Well, and I also think Tom Brady had to prove
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: that it wasn't Bill Belichick that got him to that,
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: you know, was the reason for his success solely. And
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: there's I've heard conversations in the past about, you know,
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: would Patrick Mahomes be Patrick Mahomes if he didn't have
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: Andy Reid, and not saying that they need to separate
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: or anything, but that's those are you know, ongoing conversations
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: that people are going to have about these great players
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: all the time is how responsible are the coaches that
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: are coaching them?
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Well, I think Tom Brady proved I'm the reason. Yeah,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: it's not Belichick, and so that that also kind of
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: cemented him. Yes, but I think Patrick Mahomes is going
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: to be statistically great again, but lately he has not been.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: It's like some sort of awkward transitional face for him.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: But I mean that's just comes with the territory. You
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: can win championships, you can be Derek Jeter, you can
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: be Derek Jeter, and yet people will still wonder are
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: you as good as Barry Bonds? Though, because the numbers
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: get dwarfed, Barry Bonds dwarfs Derek Jeters statistics over his career,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: nobody thinks Derek Jeter's better than Barry Bonds, even though
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Jeter's the guy with all the championships and the captain
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and the leader and all of that sort of thing.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: But statistics do play a role in the telling of
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: the story. And it just looks to me, and I
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: think it looks to the people that made this list.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: From a week to week basis, Josh Allen's just a
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: bigger nightmare to face right now than what Patrick Mahomes is.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I want to see him recover. I want to see
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: vintage Patrick Mahomes because and I think that we will.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I think that we will here in the next decade.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: All right, Coming up next on our radio program, Boy,
• 33:09

• 34:44
  Speaker 1: o five, Mario Bailey will be with us. Our Huskies
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: one series continues this week here on Chuck and Buck.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: You know how we did it with the Seahawks, one
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: analyst breaking out one key Seahawk player for one entire
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: interview every day for the entire month of June. Well,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: for the Huskies, we do one week of this during
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the All Star Week in Major League Baseball, And so
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: we launched that yesterday, and talking some college football just
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: got me in the mood, It really did. Talking college football,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Scott Eckland. So I marched my you know, narrow ass
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: to Barnes and Noble last night, and I did it. Yeah,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like it's college football season. I can't
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: even feel like I can get into college football season
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: is coming until I pick up this yere, I go
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: this little soccer right here, And I know it's probably
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: not as you can see me now on YouTube. I'm
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: not even going to tell you which magazine this is.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: It's probably not the best. I know Phil Steels is
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: the best, but Phil Steels is the best when you're
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: softy and you want to know USC's fourth string defensive tackle.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I don't need that deep of information. Plus I don't
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: want I don't have forty bucks bucks to spend on
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: a magazine. So yeah, I just went and purchased my
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: college football annual. This is something I've done since I
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: was a kid. Now get to do it on my
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: own time. I don't have to wait till we shop
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: for school supplies like I did as a kid.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: But there was something special about it. I still remember
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: it to this day. Like we would go I got
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of brothers and sisters, and when it was
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: school supply shopping day, we'd do it all and then
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: my mom the last thing we would do, she'd make
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: me wait till the end. I had to get Elmer's
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: glue before I could go do this. And we would
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: get to the very end and she would take me
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: by this smoke.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Shop that's where the magazines were.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: That's where the magazines were. It was the greatest magazine
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: rack in the history. And the smoke shop like the
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: floors were like stained. It's as if people just took
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: the tobacco and just spit it right there on the floor.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they didn't, but it was just like it
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: some old, little like run down store that's felt to
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: me like it's been around for a thousand years, and
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: it smelled I can still smell the tobacco in there,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: and and if you just made your way through the
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: tobacco products, the most impressive magazine wreck you've ever seen.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: And I would always have my choice between like one
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: of five different magazines, and I'd have to really really
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: be careful on what I chose, which was basically which
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: cover I liked the most. Yeah, yeah, And that just
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: stuck with me my entire life. So it doesn't feel
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: like it's time to get ready for college football until
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I purchased my college football magazine, which I did last night.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Bring it.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: There's demand Williams on the cover that way?
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Is that really his on there? Yeah?
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I mean Dante more is on the car.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's all I could see the way you were
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: holding it towards me. I could only see the green helmet.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I got husky on the cover. So now it can begin, okay,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: And that coincides with today because today's the All Star Game,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: which is also nothing to me screams more youth, more
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: of my youth and what sculpted me as a sports fan,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: uh than kind of those two events. I mean, they
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: didn't used to happen on the same day. Like I said,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: school supplies were usually shopped for the week before school started,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: and we're not even we're close to that. But certainly
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game is another thing that just to
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: this day, my mom will call me on the day
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: of the All Star Game. She's forgotten my birthday more
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: than once, but she doesn't forget ever to call me
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: or text me about whether or not I'm going to
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: be watching the All Star Game tonight. Because it was
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: a big deal. With my brother and I, it was
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: an all day affair. We'd go play with football during
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: the day. We'd get out our ball cards and we'd
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: put them out on the carpet. While the game was
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: being played, we'd keep score. We each had a score book.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: It was a big, big deal in my household, the
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: number of times that I, in the privacy of my
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: own bedroom, went through the hat ceremony of the introducing
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: of the players, because I used to have a wall
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: of every helmet from Major League Baseball teams, and I'd
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: have to tip my cap to the crowd, imagining that
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: in my bedroom. Man, I'm Dave Parker today, where's my
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: pirate helmet? Yeah, so it was a big deal. So
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: these two events, especially the All Star Game, really reminds
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: me of my youth, and so I'm a little a
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: little excited.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: Well, and I will say that I think you're not
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: the only one, because I noticed last week going out
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: that school supplies were out already.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: I think it's.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: Because they were also excited for the All Star Game
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: and college football magazines.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Is that what it is?
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: They wanted to make sure you could do all three
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: earlier if you wanted.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: See, I thought it was just me.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: No, No, I think everyone's as excited.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: It turns out that I set the market.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Yep, you did.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Good work.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: I like school supplies too, Yeah, I do too.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I want to buy some.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: It wasn't punishment to go for school supplies. I mean, yeah,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I had to wait to get the magazine, but I
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: really did like school supplies. Still to this day do same.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I love going pen shopping and notebook shopping, and still
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: to this.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Day, got my new pens last week.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: That's why when you said you thought yours might have
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: run out of ink, I was like, I got twelve
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: more in here if you need one.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: We're both very specific about our pen usage.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: True. And a mom wants to buy me some new jeans. Yeah,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: for the season.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Do you need those?
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to let her do that for me. I'll
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: take her to coffee. Here you go, we'll get some pie,
• 40:18
