  Speaker 1: and I was telling Andrews and he told us yesterday.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: You'll hear the interview. We're gonna replay it today. At
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: one twenty. He was He's been miked up by Hard
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Knocks recently, so I'm hoping to see him in episode two.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: He is his personality. You need to pick me up,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: you need a hey, I kind of want to feel
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: good today. You just listen to Bud Clark at one twenty.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: He's just spectacular on every level. I mean just really
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and good football player. Will see where he fits. There's
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of competition him. Taya katta. We'll see what
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: happens with em and Warri. We'll see what happened just
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Rea real quick on Eman Worrick. He's not using I
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: know everyone was freaking out about the scooter and Hard Knocks.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: That was either day one of camp or right before
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: camp started. He hasn't been on the scooter at all
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: in the last week or so.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Did he still have the boot on it?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: When I saw him walk and he didn't have a
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: boot on. Oh okay, he was carrying his one crutch. Sure,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: but when I say he wasn't using it, yeah, and
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I've seen him walking around, so he's I now, listen,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: visuals can be really different. I think with his it's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: it looks so bad in Hard Knocks, but what we've
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: seen recently. Remember again remembering that Hard Knocks when that
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: video was taped, probably a like twelve days ago, thirteen
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: days ago.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the day was July twenty sixth I believe, Yeah,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: it was a while ago.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's not that now. Does that mean he's
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: going to play the opener? I have no idea. I'm
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: just we'll see it. It certainly didn't look good when
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I saw him on that, but I went, wait a second.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I just saw him at practice yesterday walking out to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the sidelines, So he's getting there. He's improving. Goes back
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to what we talked about the other day with Tory
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Harton too. It's probably should have been more honest with
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the coaches. Probably should have told him, hey are the trainers. Wow,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I'm hurtow And we mentioned that too, because there's a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: certain catcher he was over last night, wasn't he? Yes?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: He was My god. I mean Julio ran into a
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: ball That's why they won.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. And Brian Wu is home. Brian Wu home.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Brian Wu is just special. You know, Sarah's is going
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to join us earlier than normal on a Thursday. He'll
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: join us coming up here in a little bit in
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: this hour. You did a poll yesterday, I did. Can
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you read that for me?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Let me pull it up really quick. I want to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: get the exact numbers. But I was basically asking how
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: much do Mariners fans care about making the playoffs in
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: And this was going into last night's game, And you
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: know it's a lot of people can change their opinion
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: based off of one game. That's how it goes. You
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: ride the rollercoaster of the season. But M's fans, how
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: much do you care about making the playoffs in twenty
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: twenty six? I gave you three options. The poll is
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: still up, by the way, it's up for one more hour,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: So if you want to vote, go into our nine
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: three three, kjr All retweeted again just to make sure
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: everyone can see it. Three options, Just get in. Can
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: still make a run to the World Series. That's option one.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Number two, don't care. This team isn't going anywhere, but
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I still want to be a part of the dance. Okay.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Option three, I would rather this team miss the playoffs
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and have a better chance for sweeping changes. So those
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: three options number one that just get in crowd overwhelmingly
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: as expected, the favorite there of seventy three point six percent,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: so close to seventy four percent, the don't care crowd
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: fifteen percent, and the people would rather miss the playoffs
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: than make the playoffs. There's still eleven point four percent
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: of you out there, which is higher than I expected
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: it to be.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So apathy or anger is sitting at about twenty six
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and a half percent. Yeah, a slower than I thought.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, yes, it is so like I'm surprised it's
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: that high. To be honest, it's a little higher than
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I thought. Really, when you when you offer the chance
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to go to the playoffs, I think almost everyone should
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: accept that, no matter what situation there is.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Greg was on his way out were here. He and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I were talking a little bit because he was all
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: mad about Jimmithy today.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fair, it's fair.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I was trying I was actually trying to be like, hey,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: it's okay. Yeah, you can have Jimothy and a winning
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: baseball team. That's why I think of Jimothy, our buddy,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Jim Elliott, realtor of the sponsors of Gordon Segments. We
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: were playing golf yesterday. He's in the group that's with
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: us afterwards. I'll get to that group later. Now his
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: nickname is now Jimothy Nice. I don't know if he
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: likes that or not. I don't quite I'm not quite
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: sure if he's into that nickname or not. But yeah,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: weld Jimothy. Anyway, you could have both. And I don't
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: think you can or should ever begrudge the marketing staff
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the sales staff because they're trying to sell tickets their job.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem, Like the baseball team's not selling tickets
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: because they're not very good well.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: And that's the thing that I think a lot of people,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and you know, it can be the case for any franchise. Right,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: they have the business operations. It's their job to get
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: people in the ballpark and make money, right, that's literally
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: their job, independent of what's happening with the team itself.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: And then you have the baseball operations people that it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: their job to make the baseball team good. Right, Those
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: people do their jobs separately. A lot of people throw
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: them into one thing that just because the business operations
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: people are better at their job than the baseball operations people,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it seems like the Mariners care more about that than
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a winning baseball team. I don't think that's necessarily that
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: they're just really good at They're just really good at
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: their job.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: The perception that exists is this, though, tell me, tell
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: me if you dance with me on this end, or
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: see if you if you go along with what I'm
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: going to say here, right, I the Seahawks are in
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a different category on every level, yes, than the other
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: teams in town. They are just on a different level
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the other teams sounders normally in a different level. They
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: don't do anything in terms of their marketing and stuff
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: they do. This is a down year. Let's well, we
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: can kind of give them a break.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Right, I am starting to lean towards not because okay,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: spend that way for a little bit now, but yeah,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: but generally, yes, if.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: We look at what they've done two gms, one head coach,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: multiple titles and cups and they don't worry like they don't.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they do any marketing, to be
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: honest with you, I don't. I think marketing is not
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: even something that's in their vocabulary, not really, So I'll
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: take them out of it. The WNBA is a different
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: beast because it's not so much what the Storm do
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: in terms of marketing. Now they anti market to themselves
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, they're at least one of
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: their minority owners did because of that incident. And listen,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that whole thing was. It was staged on one side.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: It was rage bait. Doesn't I'm not condoning what happened
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: by it, but I know what I know Brandy Cruz
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: well enough to know. You find two cute girls in
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: high school that want to be you plan them. They
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: buy tickets somehow, they get a ticket at court. So
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: it was just like, let's let's cause an issue, like
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: let's cause an incident, but as a whole. The WNBA
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and Sopha. Cunningham talked about this again yesterday, like can
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: we start talking about basketball? No? No, we can't, No,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: we can't. Maybe sometimes that's a good thing if you watch,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: like did certain players play maybe Angel throwing the ball
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: over her head, you know, like for a shot at
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: temp things like that. But like, can we talk about No,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: it's all that leads all about that. I think the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: two teams in our town that just jump out at me.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I mean the Mariners in the Crack and are very
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: similar to someone. And here's how they're similar. They're similar
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: in this way. They they have people on the business
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: marketing promotion side that are really good at their jobs,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: really good at their jobs. Because that's the case, you
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: hear a lot more about Jimothy Knights or Common Thread nights,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you know, like in the Cracking applot. We should applaud
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: them for those things. Yes, but because of that, the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: die hard fan, the die hard fan all Cracking don't
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: care about winning. All they care about is doing the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: common Thread jersey and you know, honoring this person and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: this person and da da da dah and all these things.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And you know, look at Memorial Stadium, Todd and all that.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: That's I hear that a lot. Oh yeah, Like and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: then the Mariners, all they care about is Jimothy and
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: trading cards and you know nineteen ninety five and all that. Well,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you can have both trust me Jerry Depoto doesn't care
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: about Jimothy Knight, Right, he doesn't uh, Jason Bottrel, Lane Lambert.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: They don't care about common thread night. No, they care
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: about putting a team. Now, have they been successful? No?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Have the Mayor's gone to the World Series.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: No.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Both things operate in each organization independently. Like I means
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: tell you in the crack and office, hockey operations is
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: very separate from the rest of the bill of the folks.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: But you work together on the game night, you're you're
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: selling your product. Yeah, but diehard fans have this perception.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: The diehard fan has this perception that the baseball team
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't care about winning, and the hockey team, the priority
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: isn't winning. It's about honoring all those who are underserved.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I take a step further that when you're not winning,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: it's that much more important to have those better business operations.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You got to put butts in the seats act and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: that's your job. And the I would I can. I
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: can just speak for the team I work for and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: just knowing what the office setup looks like in the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: space and the office, I'm going to say probably seventy
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: percent seventy five percent of the people there have nothing
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to do with hockey operations. They can't control the trade deadline,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: they can't control the draft. Right What they can control
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: is can they sell tickets and put butts in the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: seats and make it an enjoyable experience for the fans
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: that go, especially first time fans. And they do a
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: terrific job with that. And then they listen to you
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, concessions are too high. Let's lower the prices,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Let's give you a break, all those things. I'm going
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: to guess the Marriers is the same way. Seventy percent,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: whatever the number is. They they can't decide who Dan
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Wilson is going to hit fourth, but they can decide
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that they want to put people in the seats. Let's
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: get creative. How we do that. That's what they're high
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to do. The two ends of the they operate separately.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Lumping them together doesn't work. Listen, I'll be honest, I
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: couldn't give a rats you know what about Jimothy or
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. I want the team to win. Yes,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I turn on a baseball game to watch the baseball game.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I don't care about the other stuff. High Doro races
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: are fun if I'm in the ballpark finding the ball
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: into the hat. Fun if I'm in the ballpark and
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I'm two or three boaties deep and smashing peanuts that
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I bought for two dollars outside, because that's my repertoire.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I buy the peanuts outside and bring them in and
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: go through old package and then have to go drink
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: a gallon of lemon juice to cut out the sodium
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: later because I'm gonna die. But that's what you do.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: But when I'm I want to watch the game. Not
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: everybody's like that. You have to attract as a professor
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: unless you're the NFL, different beast, different entity. Just we
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: came and lumped. Like when you're talking about the big
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: four major sports in this country, it's really the big
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: three in the Yeah, we shouldn't even do that. It
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: should be the NFL and the other three. Yeah, they
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: have to do that. I don't think I ever doubt
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: that the Mariners want to win. I've never doubted that.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Now you can ask the question do they want to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: win at any cost? Cost being the key word. I
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: was playing golf of my buddy Murphy yesterday. He's a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: former D one baseball player of longtime high school coach.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: He knows the game pretty well, really well, and he's like,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: you know, Jerry Depoto's brilliant. He started going through and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: talking about what we're talking about the Poto. When I
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: go I said, yeah, I think Jerry's doing a hell
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of a job. That's what's funny about your poll. Rather
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: miss the playoffs and have a better chance for sweeping changes,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there is a good chunk of sports fans,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: not casual Jimothy Knight fans, it's probably a good chunk
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: of sports fans in this town that would love to
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: see I'm gonna take the manager off the table that
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: would love to see sweeping changes, i e. Front office changes,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: which is what you're insinuating with the pole And you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: as my buddy murphs telling me yesterday, and I agree,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, but the potos. Look what he's done
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: with the pitching staff and building up the farm system.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: And you know he's the head. But it's everybody.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: How often does Joe Sheian come on and say, Jerry
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Dipoto is a good.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Every flipping week Yeah, and he's just but he's probably
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: limited by I said, yeah, I think Jerry is you know,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Jerry dumped Castillo's salary. Here's the difference between the Mariners
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and the Dodgers. If if that was a dot, if
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: this team was just put him in La, yeah, you
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: would not be dumping Castile. You'd say, hey, you know what,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: we're paying you a ton of money the next two years.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: You're pitching the bullpen.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Figure it out.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you get pitch in the bullpen. If we need
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: you to start again, then we'll stretch you out.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: You'll start again, and it wouldn't prohibit them from signing
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: someone else later down the road.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Exactly. This team had to keep starting him because they
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: want to keep as a starter, made his trade value
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: go up because they didn't want to pay for the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: next two years. Jerry is limited by that. Yes, it's
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: not that he doesn't want to win, and that has
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with Jimothy. Has nothing to do with Jimothy.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: And it has nothing to do with Common threadnight, No bads.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I mean I get text from buddies all the time. Hey,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: three to one after one, you better not be talking about,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you know, the common thread theme night tonight? I get it. Yeah, yeah,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: but that puts people in the seats. Also, attracts new
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: fans into your building, your stadium, your arena, your ballpark,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: which you need, Yes, you need new fans. You need
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: think about I can just tell you this how many
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: new fans the Seahawks had from last year. The dumbest
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: thing ever in this town what Okay, there's a long
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: list dumbest things ever. That's hard to say. I don't
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: want to make that a blanket statement because that's that's
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: not right, because there's a lot of dumb.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Things, a lot of dumb things.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: One of the things that was not I would say stupid.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I would say both stupid and also to me infuriating.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Over the years, I hated the twelve Since twelve, I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: hated that term stop gatekeeping, because stop gatekeeping. If you're
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: a fan, don't you want more on board with exactly right?
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Exactly?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: And yet we in this town, mostly people my age
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: or ten, fifteen, twenty years younger, would do nothing but
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: crap on, make fun of and mocked WELSONCE twelve. Why, why,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: what good does that do you?
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: This?
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: We had five hundred thousand people roughly at two parades,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: brought this entire community together every Sea Yak game. At
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the end of the season last year brought the community.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Why is that a bad thing?
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: It's not.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: It shouldn't be. Mariners and Kraken, just using those two
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: as an example, they're trying to do the same thing,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: bring people into the seat. When you win, they will
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: come and they will jump on a battle. The difference
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: with the Mariners is this this year. They had that
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: last year at the end of the season, they had
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: all that momentum. They were firing on all cylinders. Everything's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: coming along great.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: They didn't need Jimathy Knight to say that.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: They didn't need that. But you know what the problem is,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: they do now because they came out and are having
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: one of the most disappointing seasons for a team. They
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: could still win it all. They could still win it all,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: but they're having one of the most disappointing seasons on
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the field based on expectations and momentum from last year.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: So what happens We go back to Jimothy, a Jimothy
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: gold card and a Jimothy Trading card, and look at this.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: In the middle of a broadcast, Goldsmith's gonna sit there
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and spend twenty minutes talking about a damn Jimothy card.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Why because they have to because your job's put butts
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: in the seats. And you know who hasn't done their job.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Cal Rawley hasn't done their job. Josh Naylor hasn't done
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: his job. I don't care about one home run last night.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Julio hasn't done his job. You go through the list,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: you know who has done his job. Cole Young, dom
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: canz own many home, Brian wu not road, Brian wo home,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Brian Woo, Logan Gilbert for the most part, Bryce Miller
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: when particles aren't floating in his elbow. Yeah, Emersony Hancock
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: break through year. Those guys all done their job, but
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: too many guys on the bast baseball field have another,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: So you haven't done your job. Guess who is doing
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: their job. Guys on the other side marketing promotions. So
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: you can have both. They can co exist. Also doesn't
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: mean we shouldn't demand more from the baseball first.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: And that's the biggest way to get people into ticket
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: or deep butts into seats is to win.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Very simple. We'll take a break, come back. Sarah's talking baseball.

• 16:45
  Speaker 1: in are something good? Savement coming up? Having you with
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the wildfires here, I'll do that coming up in a minute.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: First of all, you know, how are you to calm
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: things settled down after the trade deadline the last few days?
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Oh man?
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: Uh more? Even more respect for what you guys do.
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: After we did a lot for the for the trade deadline.
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: I talked straight for three and a half hours and
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: it was it was tough.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: It was tough.
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: We will say. You guys get like advertising breaks and stuff.
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: We got none of that.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's our that's our nightmare. And radio and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: when like every now and then, the building we're in
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: for some reason has massive issues with power, which just
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: seems to be weird in twenty twenty six, but it does.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: So Yeah, there's been times when it's like, all right,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: we'll just keep talking because we have no commercials to play.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: We're we're just here. So, by the way, you're by yourself,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and we don't have phones using either, So I feel
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: your pain. But listen, it's not like you don't have enough.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: You've got a million things to say, you know, all
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: these guys, So it's good. Let's get right to it,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: you know the I'm gonna get to the Mariners in
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: a second. I want to get your thoughts on the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Scooble trade, both baseball wise and also baseball business wise,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: and what it says and what it means. I'll let
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: you take it from there.
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: I you know, I don't know why this has become
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: a referendum on I mean I know why because the
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: CBA is coming up. Excuse me, the CBA is coming up.
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: We're having a big We're gonna have a big labor
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: argument coming up, and so we're litigating, you know, the Dodgers'
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: role and you know how baseball looks today and whether
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: or not their payroll is the undoing of the entire sport.
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: But you know, when it comes to this trade deadline,
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: you know, there were other teams that were at the table.
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: There were other teams that were willing to put their
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: best prospects on the table, and it's reported that the
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: Brewers were one of those teams. So the Brewers were
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: willing to give up Hiss my Day and you know
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: some other pieces. And the Brewers are nothing like the Dodgers,
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: So it's not really the Dodgers' money that got them
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: to this point. The Dodgers are a well run organization
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: that scout well and they and they draft well, and
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: they develop well, and so they have the ability to
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: kind of put all those pieces together and go and
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: get Schooble even if it was only a rental. For
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: the most part, you know, what you saw was rentals
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: for cheap. The prospects that it took to take to
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: get other rentals that they weren't they weren't.
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: Prohibited for other teams. So plenty of small market teams
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: went and got some reinforcements. But Scooba was the biggest
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: figure in the in the in the deal, and he
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: costs them most. And I don't I don't think it
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: says that much, you know, the Brewer, if the Brewers
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: are willing to get there, like the Brewers of a
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: small market team with you know, a quarter of the payroll,
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: so they were, you know, it doesn't really have to
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: do with money. I don't think.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I think I like what you said there about how
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: well run organization they are, like, like, you can only
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: make a trade like that if you have guys in
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: your system like in which they did. It's maybe I'm
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: wrong here. It almost feels like the opposite of how
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the Lakers have operated in that same town. Like the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Lakers just go out and somehow get don Donkic, but
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: you know, and and Lebron went there for they buy players.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, Kobe feels like the last homegrown superstar they've
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: had in a type of thing, right and and but
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: you know, and we're gonna proably see that this year. Meanwhile,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers, as you said, they got dudes that they
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: can make trades for other dudes with right, that's that's
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: a well run team top to bottom.
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think what has made things difficult and now
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: we sort of return to like you know, ken small
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: market teams win and you know, do they get too
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: much of an advantage? The daughters do both things.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: They they scout well, they draft well, they develop well,
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: they spend money on development. They were like the first
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: to say, hey, can we give these guys good food
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: instead of you know, making them go eat McDonald's, Like,
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: could that maybe make them better athletes? They were the
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: first to do that. And you know that does cost money.
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: But you know they do all of the things. They
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: also get free agents. You know, they got Preddy Freeman,
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: they got show Hey, they do a lot of those things.
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: By the way, just as at a side, the deferred
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: money thing, it's it's meaningless. It doesn't mean anything. Any
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: Any team can defer money. The Washington Nationals deferred a
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: bunch of money. The Philly has deferred a bunch of money.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: A lot of people.
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: Defer money, and it's not something that the teams want
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: and the players don't want. The players sometimes fine with
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: the deferring money because hey, let's say you play in California,
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: why don't you defer that money? And I'll get that
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: money when I live in Texas with Florida and I
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: don't pay the same kind of income taxes. Right, So
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: that's just the accountants like, don't worry about the ferred money.
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: That's that's the accountants on both sides battle it out
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: and that's what they get. But just in terms of
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: what the Dodgers do, they do everything, and that is
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: actually making a little bit harder for small market teams
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: because the way it used to be is the big
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: teams bought free agents. The Yankees and the Dodgers bought
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: free agents. They got old. You know, they had these
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: cycles where they were good when the free agents were younger,
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: and then they got bad when they were older, and
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: that was that was kind of their cycle. And the
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: small market cycle was, we keep trading our guys to
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: the big market teams, and we keep like the race.
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: We keep trading, we keep trading, but we keep young,
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: and we keep good and we keep cheap. And unfortunately,
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: what's happening is that some of those things, some of
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: those advancements that the Rays made and the Brewers made,
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: some of the thinking to depth they've done is now
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: just being co opted by you know, the Yankees and Dodgers.
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: So the Yankees say, why can't we run this part
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: of the team like the you know, the Dodgers and Yankees,
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: And why don't we run this part of the team
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: like we're the Brewers.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: You know, yeah, exactly, we can do that.
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: That's made it a little bit harder recently. But you
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: do look right now at payroll and and success this
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: year and in recent times, there's there's not actually that
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: there's no difference really between how payroll is associated with winning.
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: It is very much in the regular season. Every sport
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: like baseball just fits right in. You know, there's no
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: you couldn't tell which one was the cap sport which
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: one wasn't you know? We have the Brewers, we have
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: the Rays, we have all these teams.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: It is, you know, serious from the Athletic Rates and
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Girls podcast as well, joining us here in the Beacon,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: plumanent holl I brought you by Georgetown Brewing. Okay, make
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: a couple moves. Luis Castile gets moved to Chicago. Uh,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: he actually gets his first start later tonight, four o'clock,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: our time for the White Sox, so the rock is gone.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: They also bring in Taylor Ward from Baltimore. I should
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: mention that in addition to a couple of prospects, they
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: get Sir Anthony what's his name, Lancelot Dimingez whatever he is.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, he's still throwing.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: He's still throwing VP, I think to the Detroit Tigers
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: right now as we speak. But uh, thoughts on what
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the Mariners did with the Castile trade and acquiring Taylor Ward.
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: Uh, you know it was I guess the annoying thing
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: is is threading the needle because they're selling and buying
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: at the same time. But I think anybody who's followed
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: the Mariners realize that they're going to do something like that.
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: You know, maybe in terms of locker locker room, you know, dynamics,
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: maybe they'll miss you know, Luis Castillo is a veteran presence.
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: But yeah, I think Logan Gilbert's kind of taken over
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: at the that staff and the and the kind of
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: the lynch pin of the pitching staff. So I don't
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: I think they'll be able to, you know, look at
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: him for leadership. But when it comes to, you know,
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: the future of this team, they did open up, you know,
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: twenty million dollars for next year to spend an improving
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: next year's team, and they got, you know, a back
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: end reliever. I think he's okay, he's he's really wild,
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: but he's got some stuff. They got some prospects. But
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: the war thing I think was good because when you
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: looked around, they needed a right handed bat, or at
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: least that's what they said publicly, and I think that's
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: about right and it and that apparently was a really
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: tough thing to find. On the trade deadline.
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: The the Boston Red Sox spent Connolly early like a
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: lefty major league starting pitcher, to go get Curtis Meade
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: because they wanted a right handed bat and it was
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: really hard to find right handed bats, and so they
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: went and got a rental right handed ward.
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: And what's interesting Award is there's been a power outage there.
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: He was hit by a pitch early in the season
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: and you can see it in his bat speed. So
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: for a while he was content to just take walks
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: and hit singles. He didn't have the strength in his wrist.
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: The good news for the Mariners Sans is if you
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: look at his bat speed, he has recovered all his
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: bat speed, so there should be some power in there.
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: It's an excellent at bat. It's always a very excellent
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: discipline at bat, with contact and of real extense of
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: his zone. But recently the bat speed has come back.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great info. I had not heard that any either.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I had not heard that Anywherehen's like, well, what's going
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: on with him? Why is this bad speed? All those things?
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: So that's actually great news to hear. I'm gonna put
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: you on the spot here. I don't know if you
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: have it, you know, at your fingertips, you can look
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: it up real quick. I kind of tease this ahead
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: and anders this is bat on my part, I should
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: have told you to give you know a heads up
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: because we're talking about this the other day. Cal Rawley
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: continues just to be not good and and he for
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: whatever reason, it just hasn't happened. He hits a home
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: run one day and then he goes ho for ten,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: you know, with three or four strikeouts, and he's just
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: it's just not happening for him right now. Is there
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: anything in bat speed you've talked about where he you know,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: where he's trying to make contact and getting ahead of
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: what do you what can we tell from cal Raley
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: this deep into the season, is anything changing or improving.
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: I think he has actually a similar problem to Vladimir
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: Greer Jr. Because you know, Vladimcgreor Jr. The power is
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: totally out. You know, he's a guy with's a great
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: bat speed and a long track record of success. They
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: both have seventy five mile an hour plus bat speed.
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: They both are. That makes them eighty fifth percentile or
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: so with bat speed. So that's not the problem. It's
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: not the sort of mechanics, it's not any of that.
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: Both of them have just lost their approach completely. And
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: you know, if anybody's watched rally, you know I've been.
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: I've been tuning in this week in particular, and you
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: know what you'll see is he'll let a few He
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: did this was it yesterday? He let a few cookies
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: down the middle, you know, and even the announcer was like, well,
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: now it's in his head, you know, like he just
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: let two cookies down the middle and then he swung
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: it two pitches outside the zone. And what I've found
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: is this is an amazingly sticky thing. So if you're
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: talking about next year, and even I would say the
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: next few months it should return to normal. But the
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: difference between how much you swing at pitches inside the
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: zone minus the difference, like the difference between that and
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: how often you swing it pitches outside the zone is
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: remarkably steady. If people say, oh, he improved his ability
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: to chase outside his zone, what that hitter did most
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: likely was swung less overall. And you know so, so
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: basically your sense of where the zone is, I think
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: is inherent, and I think it's very sticky. I've looked
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: at other players that have had as much of a
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: downturn as Rally has had, and the seventy players that
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: had the first half where their zone minus chase was
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: that different, sixty two of them went back to normal.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Oh okay.
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: So so like, for some reason for his career, he
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: swung at like seventy seven seventy eight percent of pitches
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: inside and zone. This year it's seventy two. And for
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: red of reason for his career, he swung at thirty
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: five pitches outside of the zone. This year it's forty. Right,
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: So he's just in his head and it's a It's
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: an unsatisfying answer because you don't know how do you
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: get someone who's in his head out, you know. And
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: I've done stories on this where I asked players about this,
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: and some players said, I eat a tub of ice cream.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: Some sayers said I walked, I go on a walk
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: with the dog. Sometimes say I watched a ton of
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: videos some previous that I watched no video, you know, like,
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: you know, how you get out of this is as
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: much of a mental and and a vibe thing as
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: it is a mechanical thing. So I think for him,
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: you know, the choice is do I shut it down
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: and try not to swing at anything and find my
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: zone again that way, or do I decide, Okay, even
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: if I strike out, I'm just going to be super
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: aggressive in the zone. I'm gonna find the zone by
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: targeting someplace in the zone and just swing it everything
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: that I think that's close to that, and I kind
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: of think that's I think that what you need to do.
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: He needs become aggressive, aggressive in the zone.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: That's great insight. I love that, you know, thank you
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: tell us about the Rates and Barrels podcast, which you
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: got up there, even if you have to speak for
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: three and a half hours straight, sir.
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: Well, today we did a fun thing where we did
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: playoff tiers for playoff rotations. It's an interesting thing when
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: you go to the playoffs you get down to like
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: three starters. It's like you kind of think of your
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: playoff rotation as three maybe four starters.
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: So that's what we did.
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: We we ranked all of the We tiered all of
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: the the playoff. The team's headed like that have good
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: playoff odds. We tiered them Mariners of course, Tier one,
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: Tier one. I don't know if they're top three though,
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: the the Phillies, Dodgers, and Brewers, I mean, Miserowskis is nutty,
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: but they were right behind that top three.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Love it great stuff, Ras and Beryls. Go subscribe right now.

  Speaker 1: All right, welcome back in wrapping up our number one
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: big thanks to you know, so there's good stuff from him.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I just real quick, I think the note on on
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Taylor Ward. I had not heard that that encourages me. Yeah,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: if you miss what he said, because everyone's like, where
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: has the power gone? Right? And he got hit by
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: a pitch earlier in the year and it really was
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: affecting him. And the metrics now say that these coming around
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: on that in that regard, yep, which is good. The
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: other stuff with cal Rawley I thought was really interesting.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's almost like because there's two different cases about
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: how injuries can affect your approach, because in Taylor Ward's
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: case it improved his approach because he's got more walks,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: and in cal Rawley's case, it has ruined his approach.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: His approaches this, yeah, I think the encouraging thing with
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: cal is swing speed and all that is fine. It's
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: just his approach is awful and he's like letting things
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: go by that he didn't let I thought, this is
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: a very simple thing. This is what's weird. I'm sure
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: this has been talked about right by. How whoever your
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: hitting coaches this week, like be more aggressive and maybe
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: it has been.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: He just can't get that. It just it's it's not clicking.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: It's it's not translating, right, it's not getting there. But yeah,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see, all right, we come back.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: We got a lot coming up in the next two hours.

  Speaker 1: What do you got? What do you got?
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: And nothing much has changed the last hour but about
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: the same you're looking at, you know, the seventy five
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: seventy six range for you know, just get in?
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Question was MS fans, how much do you care about
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: making the playoffs? And twenty twenty six just get in?
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Can still make it earn of the World Series? Yeah?
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Three options, don't care, this team isn't going anywhere, but
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: still want to be in the dance and three rather,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: this team missed the playoffs and I have a better
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: chance for sweeping changes. And as you said, just get
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: in seventy four percent yep, about twenty five percent, twenty
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: six percent say don't care rather miss the plass the
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I would put don't care or rooting against them in
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the same category. So it's about twenty six percent. Which
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: is is it higher or lower than you thought that?
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: I think it's a little bit higher because again, I
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: think most most people, if you offered them a chance
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: to go to the playoffs, that they should slash.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Would We brought this up because yesterday there was after
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: the loss in the first game of the series against Detroit,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: there was just this this anger in this town, and
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: there has been that anger in this town for this
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: team all year, to the point we were asking ourselves,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: are are they just? Are are people rooting against them?
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Like fans rooting against them? You know? I use I've
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: got a group of guys that I play golf with
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: every Wednesday, and afterwards we convene after it's a nine
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: hole post work league every Wednesday, and after that we
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: convene and solve the world's problems in the bar there
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: at the course. Yeah.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Right, it's for all problems are solved.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: And I kind of use that as my They're kind
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: of my canaries in the cage. It's always interesting to
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: see what you know in their rage age is age
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: and rage age range. Sorry, age range is probably like
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: anywhere from thirty five to early sixties.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, and got a nice demographic.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: There, pretty good. Yeah, kind of basically what our radio
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: station probably is. In a large sense, there is both
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: apathy and anger towards the baseball team. And then yesterday
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: was interesting because there was this. It was the merits
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: were playing and people like just went out through zero
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: zero whatever they gonna lose. I mean, guy, one guy
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: has the ability to I'm not gonna throw him out there.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: And some there are ways to make wages wagers on
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: sports outside of the tribal casinos. I don't encourage. I
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: would encourage you go to Snowclamba casino. Myself, like, hey,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: what should I do? Zero zero? On the fourth thing?
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I said home, Brian will Man, They're gonna be fine, right,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I was right.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: You have been rather bullish on this team all your life.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I just think that there's this this I understand because
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: they haven't reached expectations. And then there's here's this, This
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: is a weird thing as we sit here on August
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: the sixth. Do we really think on August sixth, the
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: ninth place team in the American League could win the
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: World Series?
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're not the ninth best team in the
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: American League. I think they're in the top five.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: That's the thing they've underachieved all year. And the beautiful
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: thing with baseball is that in baseball you can the
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: season so long. One good two or three week stretch
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: can turn things around rather quickly, right one way or
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: the other, good or bad. So yeah, I've been fairly
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: bullsh but just last night, like it was like, I
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: don't know, Marrors were not even a conversation piece. It's
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: all about hard knocks, like all about hard really. I'm
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: surprised by that. And then and then I'm looking through
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: social media. Is an interesting world now, right, it is?
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: But when we post stuff on Instagram, for example, or
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: on the TikTok, you're on that.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm on the TikTok, he's on the talk.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I'm on the TikTok. I don't want to be, but
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: I am. Anyway, I'm just looking at things that I've posted.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I posted a thing on Monday. Now, I don't have
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: followers on Instagram because frankly, I don't have breasts. And
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: that's how it works. Like if you have breasts, you
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: get followers. If you don't have breasts, you don't get followers. Okay,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: am I wrong?
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: I mean how the world has come to But yeah, you're.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Am I wrong. It's a visual medium. Instagram is visual medium.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: It's a good point.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: People don't want to look at me, but they want
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: to look at Bress meansing a nice term for it.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I posted a thing on Monday of Drew Locke, Cooper Cup,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold just like quick workout. Hey, by the way,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: you know Hard Knock's coming up. But the Monday at
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Sea Extray Camp, it's a thirty second video of Cup
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: running at you. Man, that could be a news photographer.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: It was damn good as well shot. You can say that.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Two and twenty one thousand views. Wow. The one we
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: posted just like this morning on bud Clark. All right,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I guess late last night, but I posted it late
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: last night. Eleven thousand on TikTok no. That's on that's
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: on the ground. That's on the ground, the ground. I
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: like anything Mariner related that I've posted ever, maybe a
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: couple thousand.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: It's weird.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: And I was talking talking to somebody else in local
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: media who does social media for another outlet in town,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: and we were talking about this and they said, yeah,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: you know, anything that we do this's Mariner related, just
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't get much Huskies, not much cracking, not much anything
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Seahawk related blows up. It's just so you're fighting an
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: uphill battle if you're the baseball team. Yeah, and then
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: on top of that, you're fighting a perception battle. We
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: talked about this in the first hour four nine four
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: five one. By the way to come to toutch text
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: line four nine four five one. I think the perception
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: battles are really interesting dynamic right now. The thought going
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: in the season, you're going to be so good, and
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: the high expectations, and they haven't lived up to those.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: But as we're always told by baseball Guy, it's a
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: long season. And yes, the games in April, I'm the
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: king of this April, May, June, those games matter as
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: much as the games in August and September. Here's the thing,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: they haven't lived up to their expectations, and they've pissed
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: off this entire city and people are at them. Unless
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: they're going there to watch a Jimothy card or whatever
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: the hell they're doing, they're mad at the baseball. Like
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: the sports fan. Someone listening to this station and this show.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: They're a sports fan, They're a Maritger fan. They want
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: the team to They don't care as much about Jimothy
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: or any of that. They care about the team winning. Well.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: The reality is they've disappointed us this year. They have
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: not lived up to those high, lofty expectations and the
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: really the momentum they had thought they had built on
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: from the end of last season. The beautiful thing with
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: baseball is there's a ton of time left for that.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: They didn't put themselves in a position where they're out
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: of it, Like that's the key, Like you could be
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: in a position right now. Mets. Mets are a great
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: example of that. The Mets are twelve games out of
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: a wildcard spot. They're done, they're toast. The Giants are
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: thirteen games out.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Sold at the deadline, Yeah.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Giants, Mets, they're out of it. I mean they're they're
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: completely out of it. The Angels thirteen out, Athletics, thirteen out,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: there's a wildcard, Royals nine out, everybody else besides really
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: the Royals, Athletics, Angels, Mets, Giants, Rockies. Twenty four of
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: thirty teams are within five games of a wild card
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: spot or a playoff spot, and Seattle's one of those. Yeah,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: so they're right in the mix. And the argument you
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: could make, and we have this with Josh in the
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: other day, not even argument. As Joe pointed out, he
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: thinks they have the at worst, what two or three
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: second or third best team in the American League, Yet
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: this town's angry at them. This town's cares more about
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: hard knocks than they do about the Dan Mariners. Unless
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: there's a Jimithe Knight, then it's a whole different world
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: than get Jamay.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Is interesting because I do feel like anything what you
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: said about the response on social media, I don't think
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: it matches the response we get on our radio station
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: on the text line and stuff like that, because anytime
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: we bring up a Mariner's topic, it feels like just
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: to explode.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: But Anders because they're mad. They're mad, I know. And
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: it's one thing like the Seahawks can do almost no wrong,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: right now rightfully, So like they won the Super Bowl. Yeah,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: and they've won two of those in the last what
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: fourteen years? So they won a super Bowl. These guys
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: have not done anything in terms of winning. And I
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: think I'll use a word here, and maybe this is accurate,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: at least it is for me. I think people's patience
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: has just worn thin. They're just worn out. And then
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: instead of seeing a team achieve what they hoped or
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: reached the lofty expectations, or give us a year in
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: which they've just I mean, just think about if they
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: were humming along like the Rays of the Yankees this year,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: or even having a year like the Chicago White Sox. Yeah,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: they're only five games above five hundred, but they've been
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: in that position relatively speaking all season.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: How much would the Mariners killed to have that position
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: right now?
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Where if they were five games above five hundred and
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: basically just winning two of every three games exactly, you
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: would be you'd be thrilled.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, everyone would be so hyped about this team right now.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: But that's not the case. No, that's not the case.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: And instead, I think at times we look for reasons
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: to be angry with the baseball team and the problem
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: with that, Anders, I believe you tell me if I'm
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: way off base or if I'm onto something here. I
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: think in that case or I think with the case
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: of the Mariners, it's easy to become angry at them.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: They give us too many reasons to be angry at
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: them totally. And that's and that's where we are right now,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: right and that's that's that's where we are. I mean,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: they're they're there. We just talked about winning series. They're fifteen,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: nineteen and two in series this year. So you know,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: tough one tonight, Let's go win the next two and
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: win a series. That happened against the Twins, it can
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: happen today against the Detroit Tigers. Tough one tonight. Yes, Dan,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: it was, Oh, we won't hear that today. Tough one tonight.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: But they there are four games under five hundred in
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: terms of four series under five hundred terms of wins,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: so that there, in some ways, they're kind of lucky
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: to be where they are, very much because the American
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: League sucks, American West sucks. Pillow fight baby. The specific
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: division of the NHL is what it is. Along the way,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: all right, we'll transition talking little Seahawks Football. We got
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Bud Clark joined us yesterday on the show. He's the Seahawks'
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: second round draft pick, and we'll hear from him in
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: the next segment. Bud Clark was drafted out of TCU.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Is an interesting story. He had a child in college,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: was there all. Well, he's actually there for six years,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I think because there's a COVID year mixedt in and
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: injury MiG mixed in as well. So he's twenty four.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: He's a little bit of an older rookie as well.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: He's a twenty four year old, has been getting a
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: lot of play, a lot of run with the first team,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: various spots, love gets a maintenance day, he's in Okada,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: he's in Emon Warrior out. He's got a little bit
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: of work in the box in that situation, not a ton.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: So he's been there. But man, when he was drafted
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: back in late April and we listened to this dude talk,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Everyone's like, Wow, this guy's special, this guy something else.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: So I've been looking forward to having a conversation with
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Bud Clark's second round pick out of TCU with safety
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. He'll talk about hard knocks. He'll talk
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: about his journey to get to the NFL, which frankly
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: is a It's a pretty good one. It's a pretty
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: interesting one along the way because he had to grind,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: and he had to overcome, and he had to get
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: through some things that most players in college football don't
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: have to do. You'll hear his story and hear from
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: one of the happiest, most gregarious guys. You need to
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: pick me up. Bud Clark is coming up next.

• 47:58

• 48:01
  Speaker 1: is because back on draft day we're all sitting up,

  Speaker 1: So when you're on that speaker phone and doing all that,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: that's where all us media knuckleheads are and you come
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: on and I've been doing this for a long time.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: I think this is It was like the twentieth draft
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: I've covered and there's a lot of guys like old,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: like me, and everyone's like, man, this guy's this guy's it.

  Speaker 1: He's fun.
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: I appreciate that.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: What tell me about this? Like you? You just have
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: this infectious personality. Where does that come from?
• 48:32
  Speaker 10: I get it from my mom, you know, she like everyone,
• 48:35
  Speaker 10: and we woke up. She was like, you know, trying
• 48:36
  Speaker 10: to put a smile on someone's face. You never know
• 48:38
  Speaker 10: how it could change him.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: I love that. And your father, so I assume you
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: do the same.
• 48:41
  Speaker 10: Oh yes, sir, yes, sir, all the time. He's the
• 48:44
  Speaker 10: same way. Ball the energy.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to it, but cluck. First of all,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: this is the talk of the town today on our
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: radio station here on Sports Radio KJR, all across the town.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Did you watch Hard Knocks last night?
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: I actually did.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's get a rid you from a player. What'd
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: you think?
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: Actually?
• 49:02
  Speaker 10: I feel like it captured a lot. It showed a
• 49:04
  Speaker 10: lot that was going on. I didn't like that it
• 49:06
  Speaker 10: was showing offense kicking out.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: But the whole time.
• 49:09
  Speaker 10: But you know, you know, they get the day as
• 49:11
  Speaker 10: we get ours, you know, so I feel like it
• 49:13
  Speaker 10: was well rounded for sure.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I bet the coach didn't like that either, to being
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: the defensive head coach, right, he.
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: Didn't at all.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: I like that at all. Oh my gosh. I thought,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. It's you know, for for so many
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: people of fans that have been coming out here, for
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: us that have kind of been behind the scenes here
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: in the media. That was cool because we saw places
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: we never see the offices for Schneider and McDonald, you know,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: you hear the stuff in the in the in the
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: huddles and all those things. I saw that portrayed Mike
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: McDonald really well. In this sense he's kind of a nerd,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: but I mean that in a good way. Would you agree?
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: How how do you think Mike was portrayed?
• 49:46
  Speaker 10: I actually love how they portray coach Mike because you know,
• 49:50
  Speaker 10: he is weird, but he's very energetic. He's a very
• 49:53
  Speaker 10: great person. So like it showed everything about him. You know,
• 49:55
  Speaker 10: he was awkward, but he's like one of the most
• 49:58
  Speaker 10: of great people to be around.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: One of the today's athletes different than ten fifteen twenty
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: years ago, and I think we saw that here before
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: your time with Pete Carroll and Pete Pete did his
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: things his way. Let guys do their own thing athletes,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: and everything evolves over the years, and maybe it just
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: wasn't working. They made the move. They bring Mike in,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: and Mike seems to have this ability to really relate
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: to today's athlete. How would you describe who and what
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: he is as a coach to you? Just as a relation,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: not just as a player, but just overall relationship.
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: I feel like, you know, I look at him more
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: of a really like a role.
• 50:29
  Speaker 10: Model, because you know, he's like he's like you say,
• 50:31
  Speaker 10: you know, he says he's awkward, but I feel like
• 50:33
  Speaker 10: he takes that on like you know, it takes it
• 50:34
  Speaker 10: on like head on, and everything that he does he
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: does it with passion. So it passes off right to us,
• 50:39
  Speaker 10: you know, because I'm a little weird.
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: I love it. You know, people don't know yet, but
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: I'm very I'm very rid.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: How are you weird?
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: Just different things I like to you know, you have
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: to see that I can't.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, so over the next few years, you know what
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: it is? Okay, all right, I'm into it. I thought
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: what was with him though, too, is that when he
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: the part where he had to talk to Brady Russell. Yeah,
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: and there's a I mean, you're gonna have training fights.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Those are things going to happen, and every coach channels
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: it differently. It is funny when Pete was here. Pete
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: liked it at first, and then after that there were
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: no fights for like three years. There's a couple of
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: bad incidents. Mike doesn't seem to like it. It's a
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: waste of time. But how we handle Brady Russell like
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: his way to discipline is that how it is behind
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: the scenes. He's very He's not a yeller, he's not
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: a screamer. I don't think right how that's do players appreciate.
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: That very much?
• 51:24
  Speaker 10: So because I feel like, you know, he talks to
• 51:26
  Speaker 10: you like you were grown man at the end of
• 51:27
  Speaker 10: the day. But also you know he has to understand
• 51:29
  Speaker 10: it discipline behind what was going on, So I feel like,
• 51:32
  Speaker 10: you know, he handles it pretty will for sure.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: Bud Clark is with a Seahawks second round draft pick.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: He's a safety. We'll talk about how he's doing a
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: practice because he's been elevated he's up with the ones
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: right now. We expect that with a second round pick.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: You stayed at TCU your entire time, and there's a
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff that happened there, including the birth of
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: the child, yeah, which is awesome. One of the things
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: we talked about you about you with you on draft
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: day is just that that you stayed there the whole time.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Jadarian Price did the exact same thing at Notre Dame.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: He wasn't even starting. You were a starter captain everything else,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: but that was something they really liked. Walk me through TCU.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Why did you stay there? Because I'm sure you had
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: opportunities to go other places in bigger schools, and whether
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: big time SEC schools, Big ten or whatever it is,
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: why'd you stay there?
• 52:11
  Speaker 10: I feel like with TCU even when I first started,
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: because I started under Gary Patterson. You know, he made
• 52:16
  Speaker 10: it feel like a home for me, you know, just
• 52:18
  Speaker 10: like here. But you know, the defense was amazing. He
• 52:21
  Speaker 10: was a great defensive head coach. So you know, when
• 52:23
  Speaker 10: I first started off, I knew that's where I wanted
• 52:24
  Speaker 10: to be. Wasn't too far from home, wasn't too close.
• 52:27
  Speaker 10: So then you know, when Gary ended up leaving, I
• 52:30
  Speaker 10: got to I got to feel for coach coach Diykes.
• 52:32
  Speaker 10: You know, I was like, man, because I had a
• 52:33
  Speaker 10: lot going on at the time. I was like, man,
• 52:34
  Speaker 10: I don't know if I have the transfer, you know, this,
• 52:36
  Speaker 10: this and that. But then I actually talked to coach Diykes.
• 52:39
  Speaker 10: He told me that he wanted me there, you know,
• 52:40
  Speaker 10: to be a leader for his team. So I made
• 52:42
  Speaker 10: sure I stayed there because I knew that I wanted
• 52:44
  Speaker 10: to be somewhere that I started here, so I wanted
• 52:46
  Speaker 10: to finish.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Here for sure.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: Bud Clark with me, Bud, you married with a child
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: in college, sir? How when that happened? What goes through
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: your mind? Like, Wow, can I still play football? How
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: am I going to support? Like all those things? That's
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: a lot. I mean for me as an old adult,
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: it was hard having young kids. How challenging was that?
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: What were the biggest challenges you faced with a young
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: child in college?
• 53:07
  Speaker 10: You know, so I was twenty years old when we
• 53:09
  Speaker 10: first had him. You know, it was a lot being
• 53:11
  Speaker 10: away from my family because you know, I put a
• 53:13
  Speaker 10: lot on my on my fiance at the time, you know,
• 53:15
  Speaker 10: so it was a lot for her and I feel
• 53:17
  Speaker 10: like it weighed on me, and then it got to
• 53:19
  Speaker 10: a point where, you know, I felt like I had
• 53:21
  Speaker 10: I had to play football because this is the way
• 53:23
  Speaker 10: to get to take care of my family.
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: So we and my fiance we end up having a talk.
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: We talked about everything.
• 53:29
  Speaker 10: You know, let her know this, sometimes it's gonna be
• 53:31
  Speaker 10: very time consuming that you know, with football. So she
• 53:34
  Speaker 10: understood that and she took on a role being a
• 53:36
  Speaker 10: great mother. And you know, I'm being a great football
• 53:38
  Speaker 10: player and being a great father.
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: Also.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: Do you think it motivated you as far as a
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: football player saying I'm gonna I'm going to reach a
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: height that I need to for my family. I'm gonna
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: achieve something. I'm gonna get the NFL dream is there
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: for every college football player. For you, was a little
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: bit different, a little bit more motivating because of having.
• 53:54
  Speaker 10: A child, very much so because I feel like I'm
• 53:56
  Speaker 10: trying to pay the way, you know, just whether that
• 53:58
  Speaker 10: be you know, for him to play football, whether that
• 54:00
  Speaker 10: be for sports. Maybe he can be a restaurant, you know,
• 54:03
  Speaker 10: someone that owns a restaurant or something. I want you
• 54:05
  Speaker 10: to be the best at what you can, whatever you do,
• 54:07
  Speaker 10: that's awesome.
• 54:08

  Speaker 1: They are? How Jackedory? It's a while right it has
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I'm so happy they out here. Oh my goodness, Bud
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Clark is with us. It's a great story. Let's talk football.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Drafted you in the second round to the Super Bowl champions.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: What went through your mind when you got picked by
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: these guys and what was the first thing you thought
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: of when you hear about Seattle?
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: I looked up.
• 54:29
  Speaker 10: You know, I've been looking up to Richard Sherman since
• 54:31
  Speaker 10: as a child, So being able to come here was
• 54:33
  Speaker 10: an absolute blessing. You know, like Saints was my favorite
• 54:35
  Speaker 10: team growing up because I'm from Louisiana. But uh, just
• 54:38
  Speaker 10: just everything that they had, the style here, the players,
• 54:41
  Speaker 10: the leadership, the everything. Honestly, you know, it was a
• 54:44
  Speaker 10: blessing to see that they call my phone.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: Have you talked to Sherman any of you guys that played
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: in that last Super Bowl team?
• 54:50
  Speaker 5: I did talk to missus Sherman.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: What did he tell you?
• 54:53
  Speaker 10: You know, he was just giving me tips on being
• 54:55
  Speaker 10: a football player, being a baller, being a father also,
• 54:57
  Speaker 10: so you know, I was listening to him and I.
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: Rolled with it.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Nobody talks better than him.
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no way.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Are you gonna be right there?
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who talks more? You and Witherspoon?
• 55:06
  Speaker 10: H right now, all right now, I say Spoon, but uh,
• 55:09
  Speaker 10: I'm right on his trails though.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: It's gotta be part of the game of a dB,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't it. Yeah, Like you gotta have a little chatter
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: going on. You're going against some elite guys on that offense.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: And we saw that in Hard Knocks last Like you said,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: those guys are that one. And it's funny because there's
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: like three or four practices that they showed makes it
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: look like one. Yeah, you can see sometimes the fans
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: are here. Sometimes they weren't all that. But you're going
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: against the offensive player of the year in the NFL.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: In JSN Cooper Cup, Tory Horton go through the list
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: of these guys. What's been the biggest challenge and who've
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: you learned the most of going against?
• 55:43
  Speaker 11: So?
• 55:43
  Speaker 10: Uh, you know, I got to go against mister a
• 55:45
  Speaker 10: couple a couple of times, you know, so uh, just
• 55:47
  Speaker 10: being against him, he showed me you know, uh, you
• 55:49
  Speaker 10: know the difference in being against a veteran or receiver
• 55:52
  Speaker 10: and a rookie receiver, So it was a lot of
• 55:54
  Speaker 10: things that I got to learn from. He was showing
• 55:55
  Speaker 10: me how he attacked me in different ways that he
• 55:57
  Speaker 10: saw from a db'spective perspective, even though he's a receiver. So, uh,
• 56:01
  Speaker 10: I got to learn a lot from him for sure.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Just we saw in the video out on the in
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: the show last night, what we've all known about him.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: He's like a coach on the field, but also a
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: coach off the field. He's sitting in the quarterback room,
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: he's sitting in McDonald's office, he gives what do you
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: think of that little piece where he says to Mike McDonald,
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: get whatever he's doing. He says something and it clicks
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: with McDonald, the head coach. He's like, man, how did
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: I not see that? How did I not see that?
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: But that's is that cup?
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 56:26
  Speaker 10: I feel like it speaks for our team too, though,
• 56:28
  Speaker 10: you know, cause like some coaches would wouldn't be able
• 56:31
  Speaker 10: to take that will, but uh, Mike actually took it
• 56:33
  Speaker 10: and listened to what he had going on, So I
• 56:35
  Speaker 10: feel like it was perfect.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: He's that but that that how invaluable does it to
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: have a guy like that on the field?
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: Absolutely amazing. He's like a field general.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah awesome. All right, now you're you're all over the place.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: Uh you come in here, Julian Love Tyle Katta had
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: that thing locked down last year. Nicki Minuari as well.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: Nick's hurt. You're battling with tie. You're you're replacing love
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: at times. Where where do you fit in this defense?
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: Do you think? And you're gonna tell me wherever they
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: tell me? I know that you're You're better than that.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: You're better than that. Don't give you that answer. You're
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: better than that. Where do you fit?
• 57:03
  Speaker 5: Honestly?
• 57:04
  Speaker 10: You know, I like I have a right you're gonna do.
• 57:08
  Speaker 10: I'm trying to fit wherever my team fit, you know,
• 57:10
  Speaker 10: needed me to be great. You know, like wherever they
• 57:12
  Speaker 10: want me to need me to be great, I'll try
• 57:14
  Speaker 10: to be there for sure.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Where do you feel most comfortable? Is it that the
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage?
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: Is it deep?
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Is it free? Strong? Where do you feel most comfortable?
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Because you've got great hands? You had a lot of picks?
• 57:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, so right now I would say, like feel safety
• 57:26
  Speaker 10: and really down in a box?
• 57:27
  Speaker 5: Really? So really is in fifty fifty? I can play both?
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: What have you learned before I let you go Bud
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: Bud Clark with me? What have you learned about the NFL? Like,
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: what has been the biggest thing that's maybe surprised you?
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: Is it speed? Is it strength? Is it just? Is
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: it the verbiage? What's the biggest challenge from And I'll
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: just use this as a comparison. Freshman year TCU. Come
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: out of high school in Louisiana and you go to
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: TCU big time program. Being a freshman, probably it's like,
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: whoa man, I'm seventeen, eighteen years old, here I am.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: What about that compared to now being a twenty something,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: your twenty four year old kid coming in to an NFL.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: How different isn't we're the biggest changes?
• 58:00
  Speaker 5: I would say pretty much.
• 58:01
  Speaker 10: You know, everyone's here for a reason, you know, Like
• 58:03
  Speaker 10: I feel like in college, you know, sometimes you run
• 58:05
  Speaker 10: into a couple of guys that that not not so,
• 58:08
  Speaker 10: wouldn't fit in that agenda, you know, so, But I
• 58:11
  Speaker 10: feel like I hear you, nigga, everybody everybody's here for.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: He's on the same page. You're here for the same reason.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: No one's here just to get scholarship money or because
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: mom and dad wanted to be.
• 58:19
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you're here for a reason, whether you can think, play,
• 58:22
  Speaker 10: you know, ball, whatever.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: It is final thing for you. Look out here, fans
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: are back here today. This is a unique setting. You're
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: on the lake. I thought one of the cool things
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: just last night too, was the shots of the lake
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: in the city and all of that. And you're from
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: the South. It's not humid here. It's a little smoky.
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: You can't really smell it, but it's a little smoky
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: and stuff. What's it like with these guys here with
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: the fans here watching a practice, a football practice, because
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: that's it's a grind, man, ain't no fun. What's it
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: like with these guys?
• 58:47
  Speaker 10: I feel like they bringing the energy, so you know
• 58:49
  Speaker 10: all it does. We feed off of that energy, like
• 58:51
  Speaker 10: you know with the twelve is one. So I feel like, uh,
• 58:54
  Speaker 10: just being there, I'm ready to get into lumin Stadium.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see what Saturday Saturday, you guys be there for
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: the fan fest and then a week from Saturday we
• 59:03

• 59:39
  Speaker 1: Who'd you talk to Mac to try to.

  Speaker 5: Talk a little bit of little Cody White? Area nowaday?
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you and Cody White going at it? Nothing bad,

  Speaker 1: nothing like, you know, just friendly competition. Okay, all right,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: all right, there you go. That is Bud Clark who
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: joined us yesterday. Just a fun, fun guy to talk to, man,
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: Just full of energy, filled with ife. Man. I'm just
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: a end up being a fan of this guy, and
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: we were fans of him the draft night, every one
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: of us in the media room that night when he
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: called in on the on the phone on the speakerphone
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: was like, Wow, this guy's this guy is different. He's different.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Hopefully he can play. If he could play as well
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: as he can talk and and so forth, he'll be
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer all the way around. Yeah, all right,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: I do think he did mention the uh kicks a button.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: He's fired up. He's fired up for the game against
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, just like Softie is. Yes, all week
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: from Saturday. Yeah, Softie loves the preseason. They've got their
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: fan fest on Saturday at Loomin Field, which is just
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: for those who it's not a scrimmage, right all right.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: So they had because Pete used to have what he
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: called the mock Game for years and they would do it,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: and you know, we were talking about it with Corbyn yesterday.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: You know the one year I think it was right
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: out of COVID. God, it was right out of COVID,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: right before COVID anyway, right around that time they had
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: the one year they had it out at pop Kini,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: which is awesome and just a cool atmosphere. But you're
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: busting players in who are already dressed from renting to
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: baffle it. Logistically, it just didn't it worked for the
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: fans probably kind of a cool thing. Didn't really work
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: for anybody else, like for the sex and I felt
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: bad for like ek' they're equipment guy and everybody else.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: It's a logistical nightmare.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So now they go back and every year since
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: and before they do it, they do the things at
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: the at the stadium. But it's just kind of evolved
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: now into a practice, right, and that's what it is.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: So you know, I think if you were if it
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: was me and I wanted to go see a practice.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: Now you're not as close obviously at lumin as you
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: would be at Renton, but it's a far more enjoyable experience.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: I think you're not taking the bus, the school bus
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: from Renton, and you're not just close, so it'll be
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: kind of fun on Saturday. You can see some things
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: as well. And they got a lot to work on still.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: They just signed a full back today because and I
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: don't like that. I'll be honest with you. I don't
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: like that at all. That that screams to me. Unfortunately.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: The Robbie Oots is a big concern we talked about
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: with Corbyn. Gregg's talked about it quite a bit on
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: his show, too. The situation with Ootz just sounds really bad.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Like it just sounds really bad. Doesn't sound at all
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: like it's a guy that's goun be coming back anytime soon,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: if at all. I think on the table has to
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: be the concern that Oots doesn't play again, right, and
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: that would be horrific.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: And when they go out and sign a fullback as
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: they did today off the street, two things come to mind.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: A the Ootz health I just discussed, but B the
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: reason they're doing that is the fullback is going to
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: be a part of this offense. And Brady Russell. I
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: think Bratty Russell for Robbie Ootz there probably won't be much.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: It's not much of a drop off. I mean, Oots
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: maybe as a higher upside Russell is what he is,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: but and Russell's kind of more versatilely can play that
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: tight end position. But there's so many tight ends. So A. J.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: Barner had a great discussion with that yesterday. But I
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: think that that's a there's a pretty big red flag
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: out there for Robby youats because they were using and
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: watching him early in camp before he got dinged up,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: and I think he got dinged up on the first
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: day of full pads, and he was his usage was heavy,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: very heavy for the Seahawks, and that's that's not the case. Now,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: all right, let's do this, let's take a quick break,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: we'll come back. I got something good for you today.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: All right, we got something good in a time that
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: frankly ain't so good in our area. So we'll get
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: to that. Talking to Jamie Vinnick from kook Fan Top
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: of the Hour at two o'clock today, all nine three
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: point three KTERFM.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 6: Now back Dean Furness on your home for the Huskies
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 6: Cracking and the Twelfth Man, brought to you by Seattle's
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 6: closest snow call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 6: ninety three point three kJ r FM.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: Alrighty, then we got all something good today on a
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: and it's not good because it had to happen that
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: that part isn't good. But the Spokane fires has been devastating.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: I saw number today. They've talked about over a thousand
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: structures have been destroyed, burnt to the ground. Out of those,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: somewhere between six hundred to seven hundred maybe our single
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: family homes. Just I can't even fathom that losing everything
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: just awful. And it was sept set by an arsonist.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: We can say it was alleged arsenist. It was set
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: by an arsenist. Okay, yes, I don't know. I'm not
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: beholding to those same rules. And the coming back and
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: the fires are still underway. That's part, that's the hard part.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: But coming back from that is just it's an impossible,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: impossible thing. In the long term. FEMA and the government
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: will help out a little bit. Insurance will help out
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: to a point, but every little bit helps are Listen,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: you guys know I'm a beer dude. You guys don't
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: want to beer guy. I love beer, probably to a fault.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's a more generous group in our
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: state than the beer community. The brewers, the local small
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: smaller craft brewers. Let me start with Stoop Brewing make
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: great beer. Vallard, Ken Moore, c Tach Capitol Hill. They
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: just they make great beer. Also, they spearheaded an effort
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: to get donations of non perishable food, can goods, hygiene products,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: and pet food. I dropped off at breweries and other locations,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: tap houses and so forth across the area over the
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: course of three or four days. Fifteen thousand pounds they collected.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: It ended yesterday, So just a huge shout out to
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: Stoop Brewing. I mean they were partnering with, you know,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: competing breweries like Lucky Envelope and Rooftop and No Boat,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: No Boats Great up in so Qualmy, and they paired
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: up with all the folks and gathered fifteen thousand pounds
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: worth of goods to bring over to Spokane. So to
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: Stoop and Holy Mountain and everyone else involved. I mean,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: I'm looking through here, it's almost every brewery in Seattle.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: Tip of the cap, cheers to you big thanks to Stoop.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: Number two. My friends at Georgetown Brewing they kind of pivoted.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: They had hopefully Greg Bell's not listening, they had a
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: beer called short Spine but Divine Ipa.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: Oh I love that. I love that.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Come on, hopefully Greg's not listening. It was It was
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: born and bred just like our favorite furry friend Crispin Klean,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: with notes of sweet lime, melon and pine. What they've
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: done is they've been they This was really cool. They
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: basically are donating one hundred percent of the proceeds moving
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: forward from that beer donated to the Colville Confederate Tribe
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: Cedar Fund for the fire up there as well. They
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: also we're a drop off point for what's Stoop Brewing
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: and Holy Mountain Brewing. I should mention Holy Holy Mountain
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: Brewing was a big part of the collaboration, was Stooped
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: to get those goods. So Georgetown, Stoop, Holy.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: Mountain, well done.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you. It's every little bit helps. And you know,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: I've been seeing the praises of Georgetown forever because the
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: beer is great, but more importantly, the people are better.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: And you know, Benny Roger, the owners, Matt Dave, Peter, Jack,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: Crystal Ingrid, the whole group. Man, they are just unbelievable people,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: and they're so generous. What they do for Children's Hospital,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: Ronald McDonald house, and seemingly anybody who asks in this
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: community is beyond it's beyond description. But then seeing what
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: Stoop and Holy Mountain did too, Man, just really thrilled
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: for those guys. I just it's it's really a cool
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: community that they're in. Those guys are all competing to
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: sell beers and get tap handles, and yet they all
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: work together for the common good. And I just thank them.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Speaking of which, Andrews asked me about this earlier, fifteen
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: days away, fifteen days away from Mayor Ipa tapping day.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: Let's go fifteen days away. You ready to rock and roll?

• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: sellout the first year. But the first year was when
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: COVID was happened. By the heart of COVID, if you
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: wanted a beer, you had to go buy a beer.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: You couldn't go out and drink a beer, and we
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: sold the growlers out in five or six days that
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: first year. Last year was nine. It's a limited release.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent of the proceeds go to our three charities,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: Avery Huffman, DIPG, Jordan Morris Foundation for Type one Diabetes
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: and Young people with that disease, and also Lensky's Hope.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: So support local, guys, support local. If you're looking around
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: for a beer, if you're in a local establishment, I'm
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: just Georgetown, Stoop, Holy Mountain. You see those names, jump

• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: One place to go cook Fan coop fan dot com.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: Jamie Vinnick, Jamie how are you my man good? Oh,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: you know, it's uh, it's a little smoke you over here.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna say that. I'm I make that
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: I say that, and I'm thinking, well, you're in eastern Washington.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: The first fires in the eastern Washington were at actually
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: Whitman County. How are things over there right now?
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: You know, it's actually not that bad in Pullman.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 11: I mean, obviously spoken is a different story, but it
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 11: really I was expecting it to be a lot worse
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 11: kind of getting out here.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: It's just not all that terrible right now.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: I saw something just the videos and cruising through the
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: other day, and I haven't had a chance to talk
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: to you, and I spoke about it when it happened.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: But just a quick thought before we turned to the present.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: The passing of one Jim Walden a few weeks back.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: Legendary cougar coach on a lot of levels. Obviously, he
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: had some success on the field. He brought he brought
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: the Apple Cup and Big Games back to Pullman, coached
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: some terrific players over the years, ended up being just
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: one of the most entertaining broadcasters ever. He and Bob
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: rob were just an absolute treat made the games fun,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: even if the game itself wasn't fun. Some quick thoughts
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: on you on the memory of Jim Walden.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, obviously he was the coach year long
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 11: before I was at Wazoo or alive for that matter.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 11: But you know, I got a chance to know Jim
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 11: over the last few years, just you know, talking to
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 11: him for stories and then you know, he had me
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 11: on his radio show a couple of times.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 4: It's just a guy who just you know, kind of
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: exuded what it meant to be at Kugan.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 11: He he was so passionate about this university and uh,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 11: you know, always had something you know, comical to say.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 11: I still remember at at Jake Dickerd's press conference and
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 11: he immediately asked, uh, what, uh, when the hell we're
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 11: gonna see a tight end at Washington State again? And
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 11: well and behold they brought him back.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: So he always was up for He always had something
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 4: funny to say.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 11: Always, uh had a little can provide a little color
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 11: into you know, any situation.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: So no, it'll be he'll be greatly missed out here.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 4: And I'm very happy that I did get a chance
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: to get to know Jim over the last few years.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was. I was in school when he was coaching,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: and uh, I have I have a couple of great
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: stories from him. I told him the air when we
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: passed away, and then later on got to really know
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: him well. We had him on as a weekly guest
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: for many years here on KJR. And because he's Jim
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: uh and he's you know, he's got a little red
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: ass in him. We had a falling out at one point,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: but we got back together and I spent a lot
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: of time on his show, pretty much every week for
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: the last three or four years, it felt like. And
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: then also he came on our show on occasion. Just
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: a fun guy and I'm gonna I'm gonna miss the
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss the calls from from him and his
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: radio cohorts and Spokane on that Saturday show. Is a
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: ton of fun. All right, let's move on, Let's let's
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: get to the present. And uh, Kirby Moore, he's had
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: a spring practice, you've had press conferences, you've got a
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: chance to be around him a little bit. What are
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: your impressions of the of the first year head coach,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: in the first year ever as a head coach of
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: Kirby Moore.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 11: You know, I think just kind of the first thing
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 11: that stands out is it's almost kind of the the
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 11: middle ground at least personality wise, between Jake Dickard and
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 11: Jimmy Rodgers. I think it's not quite the raw raw
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 11: that Dickard had and you know, kind of the the
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 11: overly upbeat and maybe to a point where sometimes it
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 11: felt a little forced.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 4: But there's also a personality as.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 11: Opposed to Rogers, who you know, was it was like
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 11: watching paint and dry sometimes trying to talk to him,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 11: they're just you weren't gonna get any sort of color,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 11: any sort of personality, and you know, and he would
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 11: tell us, oh, you know, I'm not as much of
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 11: a hard ass as I come out.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: He said that a few times.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 11: But you never were gonna get a whole lot of
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 11: you know, uh, personality, color, any sort of that from
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 11: from Rogers, And I think Moore is a good mix
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 11: where you know, again he's not over the top, but
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 11: there there's some some flavor and a little bit of
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 11: you know again that that personality to him, and you know,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 11: he's very measured when he talks.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 4: Again, it's not, uh, he's not gonna over exaggerate.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 11: He's not gonna try and uh sell things, you know,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 11: to a point of where it comes off fake. But
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 11: you know he's gonna answer, you know, the questions in
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 11: a pretty balanced way. And and then you know he's
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 11: gonna have praise, he's gonna have criticism.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 4: But I think we just kind of stands out again he's.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 11: Kind of a little bit more neutral and you can
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 11: kind of tell maybe some of the coaches he's worked under,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 11: right it.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: You know, it sounds a little bit like when you know,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: you watch media with Kaitlin de Boor and it was kind.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 11: Of that same thing of just that middle ground and
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 11: obviously worked under Tedford, worked under drink with so you
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 11: can tell just kind of talking to him, and even
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 11: the way he kind of carries himself is that he's
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 11: been around some big time college.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: Football programs and some big time college football coaches.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: Well, one thing we do know about the old the
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: new Pac ten is much like the old Pack ten.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: Not a lot of respect for Washington State. Maybe it's
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: because of the first year coach or what have you.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: I think they're picked fifth in the in the preseason poll.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: Whatever that's for whatever it's worth. Would you agree. Are
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: they a middle of the pack team in this new conference?
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 11: So one of the Colorado State writers, for I think
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 11: it was the Denver is that he kind of gathered
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 11: a bunch of opinions from the media people that cover
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 11: each of the pack twelve teams and kind of put together.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: A preseason ball like that. I had him third. I
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 4: think when you look at Boise.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 11: State and the continuity that that team has, that that's
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 11: going to be a really tough team to beat. It's
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 11: a team that obviously returns a head coach, returns a quarterback,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 11: you know, has just this you know, seemingly unending stable
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 11: of running backs, and then has a lot of experience
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 11: on the defensive side as well. I think if you
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 11: look at San Diego State, you say the same thing.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 11: That's a team that brought a lot back, especially on offense.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 11: I think they've got a chance to be really good.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 11: But I think Washington State can very much be in
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 11: that mix of, you know, above the likes of Fresno State,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 11: in Utah State and Texas State, and I think, you know, again,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 11: there's uncertain and I don't necessarily blame people for having,
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 11: you know, their their trepidations about Wazoo just was again
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 11: so many new faces, another new coaching staff. But I
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 11: do think that there's maybe more talent than they're given
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 11: credits for. Just when you look at some of the
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 11: guys they were able to bring in from the portal,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 11: some of the guys they were able to retain. So
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 11: you know, I think they absolutely will have a shot
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 11: to compete for the top of the packs. Well, I
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 11: just you know, when I look at it, I think, Okay,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 11: there's a little bit more continuity at some of these
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 11: other places that could make it hard to challenge the boys.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 4: He's in the San Diego is in your one.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: All right, Jamie Vini kook fan dot com. Joining us
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: first year and a first time head coach. That one reason.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: The other one would be who's the quarterback? And so
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: they go into this year. We knew Zevy was gonna
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: be the guy. We could do a song and dance
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: all we want last season, I mean, and there was
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: a song and dance at the start of the year,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: as we all know. And then certainty of that position.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: They've got three guys competing for that spot, Cayden Pinnick,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: Julian Duggar and Owen Eshelman handicapped the race and who
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: and what each of these guys bring.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I think one thing that stands out
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 11: is they're all fairly athletic. I mean, I think we
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 11: saw Dougar last year and what he.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 4: Can do with his legs.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 11: But I think, you know, Pinnick and Asherman certainly have
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 11: the ability to make plays outside the pocket as well.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 11: I think Pinnic has just the most natural arm talent
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 11: right now. I do think Eshlman has some series upside
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 11: in that regard, But again, he makes some throws that
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 11: are like, Wow, there's some serious talent here. He makes
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 11: them throws that, Okay, you're a redshirt freshman that has
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 11: no game experience, there's still some learning.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 11: Again, Dougar I think is certainly the best athlete, but
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 11: there's still just some of those throws that, you know.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 4: They they don't give you a can, they don't give
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: you enough consistency. It's some of the accuracy.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 11: You know today for example, you know, he didn't didn't
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 11: turn it over, didn't make any mistakes, but it was
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 11: a lot of very short, checkdown type throws. Certainly can
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 11: make plays with his legs, and he did that multiple times.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 11: But I think that the concern would just be with
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 11: him is can he consistently, you know, deliver on on
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 11: deep balls, on you know, intermediate routes or would you
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 11: have to kind of be very vanilla in going short
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 11: you know, Estamon Again, I think the upside is there.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 11: I think there would probably be some concern about, you know,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 11: just the consistency level for a younger guy that hasn't
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 11: played college football yet. When you look at Pinnick, I
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 11: think the deep ball is the one thing that's kind
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 11: of eluding him. He tried a couple of the day
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 11: and missed on and then that was kind of the
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 11: story through springball. But for the most part, was pretty
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 11: darn consistent. Again, just looking at today, connected on some
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 11: good intermediate routes, some good short routes. He can certainly
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 11: make some plays happen with his legs, and I think,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 11: you know that the key for him, and we saw
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 11: this towards the end of the spring, is just being
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 11: a little bit steadier with the ball.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 4: There's a couple future many.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 11: Turnovers down the stretch in the spring. There were no
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 11: none today, which was I think a good thing for him.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 4: But I think he's in again.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 11: In my opinion, he's the guy who I think, when
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 11: when you take the field in the Apple.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 4: Cup, is gonna be QB one.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 11: But I do think that there was still very much
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 11: an avenue and a pass forward for both Eshelman and
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 11: Douger potentially win this job.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: Pennick was at at cal Davis, right and he was
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: Wasn't Didn't he have a hell of the season at
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: FCS last year?
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 11: Yeah, the big skuy freshman of the year put up
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 11: some some really big numbers, including in the playoffs. He
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 11: can certainly play, and obviously you know there's a there's
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 11: a difference going from.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 4: From FCS to FBS, and he's again he's a.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 11: Younger guy, so it's not like you know, oh, he
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 11: was tearing up the FCS level for four years, but
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 11: you certainly saw the arm, talent and the potential of
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 11: what he can do now. Granted, his only real experience
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 11: against an FBS team, they went eight for sixteen for
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 11: fifty yards.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 4: Unfortunately that FBS was Washington, so there is something to
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 4: know within that.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 11: But I do think that there is a body of
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 11: work there that you saw even at a lower level.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: Positions of strength. Let me just start on the offense
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: for a second. I don't know if it's a position
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: of strength, but it feels like there's a lot of
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: dudes that returned on the offensive line.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean I think certainly at that position more
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 11: maybe more than anything else or anywhere else on the team.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: You want that continuity. You need that continuity.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 11: And then you look and say, okay, you bring back
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 11: Ashton Trip who started all thirteen games. You bring back
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 11: Johnny Lester who started all thirteen games. Kyle Martin and
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 11: Noah Dunham both started games last year. Nick Backin was
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 11: with the team last year. He was hurting most of
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 11: the year. You know, Maximus McCree has started games in
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 11: the Big ten. So you start to look at say, okay,
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 11: that's an offensive line that has a lot of continuity.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 11: Now you graduated Brock, Do you graduated Christian Hillbourne? You
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 11: graduated A. J. Vaipulu.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 4: So there's three kind of starter graduates there.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 11: But it's not like you've just brought in this complete
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 11: overhaul of new faces. They only lost one guy to
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 11: the to the portal. That was Trevor Bendel, who went
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 11: to Iowa State. And yeah, you kind of kept your
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 11: your core group, and you didn't make it over with
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 11: a bunch of transfers. I mean, McCree obviously comes in. Uh,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 11: they brought in Kololo to Aga, who's been at USC
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 11: and Utah. He's been mostly banged up though since he's
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 11: gotten here goin to miss the first part of fall
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 11: camp as well. But you have guys who know each other,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 11: and I think on the offensive line that is just
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 11: so important because they know how to play off one
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 11: another and there's just that brotherhood, that fraternity that you know.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 11: I kind of the old saying, if you play as
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 11: you play as one fist, not five fingers, And I
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 11: think that this offensive line, and it's still not entirely
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 11: sure how it's gonna shake out. I mean today, for example,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 11: they had Baking playing right guard and Lester playing right tackle,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 11: which is again odd considering the fact that in the
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 11: spring he was always Lester at left guard and McRee
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 11: at right tackle. You've also got Jalen Caldwell working back
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 11: from in so there's just a lot of different ways
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 11: they can go with the line. And I think the
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 11: biggest thing that stands out is they're just gonna be
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 11: so much deeper.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: Than they were a year ago, how Jamie Vini kook
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: fan dot com how how big was it for Kirby
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: Moore to retain Kirby Vorhees, Maxwell Woods, and uh Poula
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: Lossie their top three running backs.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 11: It was massive, I think, especially when you look at
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 11: the fact that you've got a new quarterback and a
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 11: handful of new receivers. Outside of obviously Tony Freeman, you
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 11: need to have some guys you can lean on, and
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 11: you know, you look at Vorhea's he was their best
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 11: running back last season. I think we certainly saw what
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 11: Maxwell Woods can do. I mean, second most rushing yards
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 11: in Wazoo Bowl Game history in the famous Idaho Potato Bull.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 11: You look at Poola Lossie last year on in a
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 11: team that couldn't really run the ball, on a team
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 11: that you know couldn't block for the run, he didn't
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 11: get dropped for a single negative play, which is pretty
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 11: impressive considering all those circumstances. So you've got that kind
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 11: of three headed monster that you can really depend on.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 11: You know, if the quarterback struggles coming out out of
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 11: the gage where it might be you feel like, okay,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 11: we can hand the ball off and we've got three
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 11: running backs that can beat you in a different way.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 11: Right for he's just going to be your down hill bruiser,
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 11: poopla loss. He can do a little bit of everything.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 11: Whereas Woods is a guy you get.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 4: Him in space. I mean, he's got the chance to
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 4: break it every time he gets to the outside.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 11: So I think it's not just bringing those guys back,
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 11: but bringing those guys back when you consider just how
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 11: variant their skill sets are.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: Jamie Viannick joining us kook fan Jamie the offensive head
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: coach in Kirby Moore, and we'll see, how you know,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: We'll see how everything transforms, especially again, new quarterback, new
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: starting quarterback, a couple of new guys in the offensive line,
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: but it's some experience there. Good running backs. We'll see
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: if they can actually, like you said, run the football
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: this year. And Freeman leads a decent group of receivers,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: and we'll kind of see how that works out. On
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: the other side, I'm curious about two things, your thoughts
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: on the overall personnel on the defensive side, but maybe
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: more importantly, listen, he wasn't a good head coach at
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: Oregon State, but man, it feels like a nice little
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: coupe to get Trent Brays your defensive court.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 11: You know, I think the thing that just stands out
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 11: about Trent Bray and everyone to talk to around the
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 11: Oregon State would kind of tell you the same.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 4: He's a defensive coordinator.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 11: And you know, he took the head coaching job to
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 11: try and you know, provide some continuity when Jonathan Smith
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 11: left and because he was dedicated and truly did love
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 11: Oregon State.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 4: But he's a defensive coordinator. That is what he was
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 4: bred to do. That's what he wants to do.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 11: He doesn't want to be in front of the media
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 11: talking all the time. He wants to sit there and
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 11: coach ball. And I think you see that just in
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 11: the way that he kind of is as a defensive coordinator.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 11: You know, he's he's the guy you who just want
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 11: to be able to doesn't want to have to do
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 11: all the you know, all the kind of the the
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 11: hullabue that comes with being a head coach.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 4: He just wants to coach football.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 11: And I think you know you see that when he's
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 11: out there and you see kind of just his mannerisms,
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 11: his demeanor. He wants to be out of the spotlight
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 11: and just you know again at work, and I think
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 11: when you look at the talent on the defense and.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 4: It's just pretty remarkable what they were able to bring in.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 11: And again you talk about a defensive tackle unit for example,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 11: you know, entering the portal season in January, they had
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 11: two guys that was it, Elijah Tucker and Cayden Beattie.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 11: And then suddenly, you know, you're bringing in Paul Hudson
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 11: from Marshall who has been nothing sort of a menace
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 11: both in fault both today and in spring ball. You
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 11: bring into marj Lewis, the veteran guy three hundred plus pounds,
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 11: you know who's been at SMU, He's been in Indiana,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 11: he's been at Purdue gyro Leo Pepatelle from Eastern Washington,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 11: just an absolute monster in the middle, three hundred and
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 11: forty nine pounds, but with some you know mobility in there.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 11: You know b D obviously back blon Miller from Saint Francis.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 11: You know I k okafor who readshered at Cow last year.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 11: So you've got that talent on defensive tackle. Then you
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 11: look at your two edges and you know you get
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 11: a guy like Len has Sunk, who did he start
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 11: at Vanderbilt No, but for four years played a.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 4: Consistent role for an SEC team and though especially in the.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 11: Last couple of years, a good SEC team you have
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 11: a guy like that on the end, probably bringing you know,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 11: a talent level that you haven't had since Jackson and Stone.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 11: You look at Matthias McLean, who was at Idaho but
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 11: put up monster numbers and was coveted by several.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 4: Big twelve schools. But he's a guy who grew up
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 4: a Wazoo fan.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 11: He's from h Priest Lake or Priest River, and uh,
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 11: you know, there's pictures of him after the Owaite Apple
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 11: Cup as a kid with Kenny Alfred after Wazoo beat
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 11: you up. So he bleeds Crimson and Gray. And I
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 11: think when you look at kind of what they're gonna
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 11: be able to do on the defensive line, I think
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 11: you've got a shot to be really, really effective up there.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 11: And and maybe you know by mid season you're you're
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 11: not gonna be thinking about the guys that that followed
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 11: the last staff to Iowa State and kind of left you,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 11: uh you know, with in the dustin left you with
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 11: nothing there for a little bit. I think they may
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 11: seriously have more talent upfront than they did last year.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: Linebacking corps has got to be better than it was.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: How does that look?
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's it's young. I think that's the
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 4: thing that stands out.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 11: You know, Keith Brown's obviously been around College wall a
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 11: long time, Nyland Browns of Transferring State, who's played a
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 11: few years. DJ Warner the former top seventy five recruit
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 11: who was a really good pass rusher at Kansas and SMU,
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 11: But they're kind of making him more.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 4: Into a linebacker. That's what he kind of wants to play.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 11: I think the biggest question there is can they is
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 11: what can they get out of like the fourth and
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 11: fifth guys?
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 4: Is you feel confident with.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 11: Those three veterans I mentioned, but can you get you know,
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 11: four or five six guys producing? You know, Isaiah Hung
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 11: was arguably their best player in the spring, a kid
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 11: who came over with Rogers as a as a South
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 11: Dakota State flip. Didn't play last year, but he was
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 11: everywhere in the spring. Then you start to look at, Okay,
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 11: is there an opportunity for Lance McGee, the four A
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 11: State Player of the Year, to get on the field
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 11: in that number five spot. There's also Gage Jones, Jack Ellison,
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 11: They've been around a couple of years. Carson Reynolds who
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 11: came to Wazoo from STS. He's actually from Stedrow, Woollie.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 11: So I think there's an opportunity. I do think linebacker
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 11: is still a question of can you kind of find
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 11: enough depths to be effective. But I do think that
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 11: there is some veterans in that room that is hopefully
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 11: going to kind of shore up maybe some of those
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 11: depths questions. And I think the biggest thing is is
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 11: you know, just be able to tackle. That obviously was
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 11: not a strength to the last ars. In fact, that
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 11: the glaring weak. But I think that is going to
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 11: be the biggest thing, is you know, can they kind
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 11: of mentor these guys to be able to tackle? And
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 11: I think that, you know, there's been a lot of
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 11: signs that it's going to improve, but obviously you.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 4: Got to see that on the field.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: I'll wrap it up with this, just circle back to
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: the quarterbacks Jamie before I let you go, when will
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: we know or will we know before the opener who
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: the starter is?
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 12: Yeah?
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 11: So I mean more said kind of towards the end
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 11: of spring or in the fall, camp, he's gonna come out,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 11: he'll name a starter. He's not going to do the
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 11: whole charade like Rogers did last year where he won't
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 11: even announce it on the video board ahead of you know,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 11: or during the opening game, which you know, I get
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 11: there's being KOI, but that was just standard.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: That was insane. I mean, that was absolutely insane what
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: he did last year. Yeah, you know, he he It
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: was one thing.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 11: You know, I don't want to name my starter publicly, Fine,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 11: whatever if you don't want to do that and you
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 11: don't want to play the depth start, but when you
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 11: get to the game and now it's your starting quarterbacks,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 11: so there won't be anything like that. I do think that,
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 11: you know more more basically said, you know, because I
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 11: asked them, like, are you gonna, you know, tell us
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 11: essentially who the starter will be?
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 4: And he says, oh, yeah, you know, we'll announce it.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 11: So you know, I think I think he said August
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 11: twenty third, twenty fourth, right after fall camp ends. I'm
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 11: assuming there'll be a press conference either on the last
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 11: day or the day after.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 4: Uh, and he'll name who the quarterback will be.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 11: So unlike last year, there won't be just this guessing
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 11: game of and only for you know, Rogers coin is
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 11: is to look dumb when he doesn't when he has
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 11: to say screen games in so I think we will
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 11: certainly know before the Apple Cup in a couple of
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 11: weeks before and who QB one is going to be?
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: Did Potter end up going to work like an FCS school?
• 1:30:55

  Speaker 6: Now back to Ian Furness on your Home for the Husties,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 6: Crackett and the twelfth Man, brought to you by Seattle's
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 6: Closest Sn't Call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 6: ninety three point three KJR FM.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: Alright, was good to talk.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 4: About this is the Ancient Mariner.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 13: Just a couple of thoughts on the ejection last night
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 13: at T Mobile Park of Jimothy Knight and thanks to
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 13: Aaron Goldsmith for belaboring that whole thing.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 4: That was great television.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: But back to the ejection.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 14: I mean, that's got to be the first time that
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 14: a manager has been ejected and Andrews analytically, you can
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 14: probably back me up on this, that a manager has
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 14: been ejected for telling en up that his ejection was
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 14: a tough one.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: Analytically that is correct, sir, thank you.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: The analytics tell us correct. He nailed it, totally nailed
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: it the way, so good, lordy lordie so four two
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: five On the text line, Maurer manager Dan Wilson suspended
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: by MLB for telling the Empire politely his ejection was
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: quote a tough one.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: See.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: That's the problem now is that it has become just
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: a joke. Oh totally, he's a meme. Tough one tonight,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: tough one tonight, tough one tonight. It's a tough one tonight.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: He didn't get his money's worth. I'll tell you that.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: If you're gonna get ejected, get ejected.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: How many times have you heard that line? Too? Well,
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: get his money's worth now. Yeah, And the problem is
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: we don't have as many ejections as we used to.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: It's true, well, well, because abs yeah, there's actually been
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: quite a bit this year. We just never see him
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: because Dan was at the case just missing it.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: We never see him.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: I guess that could happen my fault.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: Like Aaron Boon, I think is like ten or something.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: He's different. I mean, he's that's a different deal. That's
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: just that's that's just a different deal. I love it, though.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: I want my manager to be like that.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, I mean, listen, the most legendary guy
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: here ever was Lou of course, right, and we all
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: loved Lou and Lou had. Part of the reason we
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: love Lou is because of the red ass part of it, right,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: just like I think part of it too. With that
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: attitude and that demeanor, you felt like he was sticking
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: up and fighting for his players and fighting for the
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: organization and winning it all costs like it. Like with Lou,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: it just felt like every loss was worse than any
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: win could be good. And fans like that because they're fans, Yes,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: they're they're that's that's they want. They want that to
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: be the case.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 4: So oh.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: God, I'm okay, I'm reading text here. Let me do
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: you see anything good?
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: I'm just I'm not necessarily good but I want you
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: to respond to this three six, maybe shout out to
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: the people that actually donated, considering are something good? Okay, yes, well, okay, Well,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: first of all, before you get jumped in, yes we
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: love we people who are doing something for a cause,
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: you're still buying beer. It's the beer that.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: Well, but they were dropping stuff off too, they were
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: dropping off goods. But okay, I get okay, my apologies
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: during something good giving a shout out to some local
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: small businesses who are trying to help out by not
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: mentioning those great people. Almost if you're one of those,
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming there's two things here to that text. One,
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: you gave something and you need a pat on the back. Okay,
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: there's your pat on the back of tank. Or I'll
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: ask you this. Were you one of the people that
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: donated and gave something. If not, then shut the hell
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: up anyway, I'm sorry. This is this is this is
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: why it's hard to do good things, because there's always
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: going to be that guy going to be that guy.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: To five, if Tom Dundan had bought the Seahawks, would
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: his kid's name be added to the wall with all
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: the other Seahawks players in Seattle?
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 5: History.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it would be it would be well, honestly,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: that probably would be something like that.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: It's just so bad, so they would have got they
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: would have got.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 3: Rings, you know.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: And if you missed our interview yesterday with Jason Quick
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: from the Athletic talking about Dundon and what's going on
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: in Portante, I would urge you to go back and
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: take a listen to that on the podcast. I mean
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: that tells you everything he needs out. Personally, I would
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: be just sideways if I was a Blazer fan. And
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: the part of it, obviously that the threat, the possibility
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: slim or not that they could move, that's number one
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: on the list. But having that guy be your owner,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: knowing he spends nothing and will spend nothing, and.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: It's one thing to be cheap, like we've had a fairshis.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: Coaches on a one year contract. Yeah, that's unheard of
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: in pro sports for a playoff team, by the way,
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: sort of but yeah, yeah, yeah, playing game but yeah,
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: but they got in. They want to play game. Yeah. Right,
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: that's the epitome of the mushy middle is do you
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: want to talk about the mushy middle?
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 2: Playing game? There was a playing game in NHL Crack
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: would be in it every year.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: They would have been, and frankly I would take it.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, hey, that's a let's be honest, yea, the
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: first run of Major League Baseball playoffs are playing game,
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: I mean best of three series.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, come on, but.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: It's what how many it's the playing game. It's over
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: ath league for n MBA if that's not a league,
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: it's more it's more for baseball, no for for basketball. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: that's what I mean.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: There's twenty twenty teams GOETNA play are doing some form
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: of the playoffs. There's only thirty teams in the NBA. Yeah,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: the NBA is a joke in that regard. But but
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: would you agree like the wildcard best two f.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: Three, it's an extra series. It's a glorified game one
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: sixty three, that's what it is.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's one hundred percent when it
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: is Okay, I'll read this one here. When do we
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: do the fantasy segment? That's from David good question, good question.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: What's today? It's the un official start of the weekend.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: It's a Thursday. Next Thursday's Well, let's go. That's the plan.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: That's the plan. Hang on a second, hang on, read
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: another text re I'm gonna text him real yeah, oh yeah,
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: make sure he can do it next Thursday.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: FYI says Keith. One hundred and seventy three ejections in
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: twenty five this year through August to total is sixty three,
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: So you are correct, sir.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: There is a lot like thank you, thank you for correcting.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: And I never said you were wrong. I just said
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know, or as Joe Sheen calls him, hoers,
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: that's true.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 2: Nathan Bishop also calls me that, but he also calls
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: Jared kell nick Jared Keller Nick, Well, you.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: Don't have to worry about that anymore. It's even in
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: big leagues anymore.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: No, he's not okay, yeah yeah, uh.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 5: What else?
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: We got sick?
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: So, without a doubt, this has been the most unfun
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: season to watch the Mariners that I can remember. They
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: simply don't sec. They don't score unless they hit a
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: home run, which happens in about ten seconds. I do
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: agree that because home runs are more prevalent now in
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: terms of scoring runs, that it has taken the fun
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: out of hitting a home run for a fan. I
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: should say, like, you don't see the triples, the stolen bases.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: They did a poll like a few years ago about
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: the most exciting plays in baseball. Triple number one is
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: the triple. Number two is a stolen base over the
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: home run. So really yeah, number three I think it
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: was a diving catch, right, So like when you know
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 2: what gets you out of your chair, right, obviously, if
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: it's a big moment, you're gonna you're gonna do that
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: for a for a home run.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: But still, so the plan would be, uh for fantasy
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: to start with Fundston next Thursday. I just texted him,
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: But he's the worst in the world about getting back,
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: probably because he's got a job with the Athletic. He's
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: got him and Jay I went to the the Athletic
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: fantasy site the other day after we watch Hard Knocks
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: because we started getting all fired up for fantasy football.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: So I went to that and downloaded the old Excel sheet.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: You can kind of do it for your own league
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: and scoring, and yeah, I was getting repped up. I
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: was getting one hundred percent repped. We've got our Board
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: of Governors meeting already scheduled. Here we go.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 3: We got to do a.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: Kind of an group for the on air people in
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: terms of Funston with his fans, like when we bring
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 2: him on, he's all in our league. So we're like, hey,
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: I play you this week. Don't like that? That would
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 2: be so much fun?
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: What do you mean now? I'm curious?
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: So like you, me, Funston, a few other you know,
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: people all in the same league.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: I can't do another league. You can't. No, I'm into.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: I can't do more. I have a two team alone,
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: two league limit limit. Yeah, they forced me to be
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: in the kJ I won a couple of years ago.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: Was I just did you bailed? I just didn't care
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: because I had the other two that mattered because they
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: made Listen, there's got to be significant jews for for
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: me to care that one. I that one when there's
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: like no entry fee three years ago.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: Well that's not the case anymore.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: I still I can't. I can't.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like you, when you say juice, you mean a
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: possibility to get last and have a day off.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: No, that's a whole different deal. Like I said, we've
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: we've got our Board of Governor's meeting coming here soon.
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: That's that's coming up here real quick. For our for
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: our league. With that, with that that gong show that
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: you met Yep, we'll see how that discussion. I'm I'm
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: assuming that that's that those guys will want to do
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: that again. I'm also going to assume that I'm not
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: going to finish last again. I don't think anybody's in
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: the league's ever finished last two years in a row,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: and I don't plan to be in the first. I
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: was gonna say this, I am I'm a former champion.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: God. The best thing is is like I wish you
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: and soft. You need to stop telling people that that's
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: like to stop telling those guys that that's a bad idea.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: It's a great idea for them to do my show.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: It gets you to join them.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: Not joining the league, I'm not. No, I told you
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. Get sales guy Rory in it
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: or something, or sales guy will or get Rich Strauss
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: in it.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: Oh God, we don't want that guy in it.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 3: No, I know you don't.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 5: Is just in it?
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: Probably is Chuckles in it. Yeah, he's the commissioner.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: I definitely don't want to be in No, I kid, Chuck,
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: I come, no, I'm not. I'm telling you I'm not
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: doing it, all right, I am not doing it. I
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: am not doing it. I'm I'm into I give I
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: give a crap about too. That's the only thing I
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: find two to be hard. The only thing is that
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: the scoring is so different. It's it's fine, right.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: What else is not doing it?
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: Softy? Yeah, see, I stand with Softy.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 2: He doesn't do any though.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: I know in this case I stand with soft I
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: don't stand with Softy often. In this case, I stand
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: with Softy. I'm I stand, I stand, I'm walked step
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: with Softy.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 2: I'm grabbing that as a drop for him.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: Bill Jonas next.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 3: Oh Jesus, I love it.
• 1:43:37

• 1:43:57
  Speaker 12: Listen, I blame you, me, everybody here. I got those
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 12: four gals. They probably went to the game and left early.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 12: You guys left early.

• 1:44:16
  Speaker 3: Andrews is my wallet by the way back there, it's up.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 3: I got the perfect clip to describe what's happening with
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 3: the Mariners.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: All right, you ready, okay, here, why don't you give
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: me half the money in a pant. We'll go out back,
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: I'll kick you in the nuts and we'll call it
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: a day. That's one of my favorite drops.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 3: Oh god, I love that it's kick you in the
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 3: nuts night at T Mobile Parks.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: Oh I love that this gets kicked.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: Half the nights out of the year.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 3: You you're your cups.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: I I'm waiting, okay. I The sick, demented part of
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: me right is hoping things hold true right because I'm not.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: I heard the show on TUESDA two days right and Wednesday, Wednesday, yes, yesterday, Yeah,
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: after Tuesday's game. Then they bounced back.
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 5: It a win.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: That's nice. But as I was driving out of there
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: yesterday from the Virginia Mason Athletics Center. It was thirteen.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: I counted it thirteen straight minutes. It was a borderline
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: filibuster with Millan on the line, and it was thirteen minutes.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: And it was one of your all time best.
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a good one.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: This is an outrage, This is an absolute affront. Oh,
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: there he is. There is mister climate change. There's mister
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: climate change. He's having a worst week. He's having a
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: worst week than the Ams are.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 3: But it's just done.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 12: I was talking to Dick Off here. We're just guys,
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 12: We're just we're we're kind of running out of time,
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 12: like let's go. Yeah, right, Like I've been the sucker.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 12: I think Dick for the most part, has kind of
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 12: been there that at some point there's going to be
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 12: a run. Will it be enough, we don't know, but
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 12: there's going to be a run. Like Col's gotta have
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 12: a run Naylor if if Naylor can wait until next Wednesday,
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 12: he'll love go on two months without hitting a homer?
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: Are you too much? Are you kind of for that?
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 12: I don't care about it's on base streak is here
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 12: to drive in runs twenty five games. He's here to
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 12: be the guy that we saw last year. I mean,
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 12: obviously getting on base and stealing badge is a part
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 12: of it. But there's a reason why he's not our
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 12: leadoff hitter. That's the reason why he hits where he does,
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 12: because he's supposed to drive in runs two months. It's
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 12: already the longest streak of his career. You guys know that,
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 12: right for Naylor, this is he He's never come even
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 12: close to go on this long. And then cal and
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 12: the crap with Gabe Spire and Collibra Torres last night,
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 12: and I gotta be honest with you. I don't know
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 12: what your take is, but I kind of found myself
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 12: agreeing with Chuck. I'm like, what are we doing?
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what.
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 2: We're settlling personal vendettas and losing this game.
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you're ten games up, fine do it.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 3: But you're not.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 12: You're fighting your ass off for a wild card spot.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 12: You can't afford to lose one of your what top
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 12: three relievers.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 2: You think was going to be out for three games?
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's such appealing, but we'll see.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: To say two things. One, the timing probably wasn't perfect
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: because of who's throwing right right, I didn't mind them.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: If that was the case. Now here's the case. Did
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: he do it or did Cal call for it? As
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: if called for If Cal called for it, that's a
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: little selfish on his part, right, Like, Hey, this guy
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: got me.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 12: Did you did you see did you see this opposed
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 12: conversation between Raleigh and Torres last.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 3: Night after he got hit?
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 12: Well there's kind of john Yeah, and then Torres apparently
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 12: like I'm not a lip reader, but you know, Twitter
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 12: reads lips and they said that Colaboratrres looked at Call
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 12: and said.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 3: Hey, man, at least I got hits.
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: Damn.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 12: I mean, I don't know if that's true or not.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 12: I'm just saying that somebody claimed that he was mouthing
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 12: that that that.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: Is absolutely a savage move man.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 12: Well, but then, but then, but then I started thinking
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 12: about it, like, is Cal Rowley not a He's a
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 12: well like guy right around baseball. So the WBC change that, Yeah, yeah,
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 12: you know what that gliber and Randy are on the
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 12: same team.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, strew that fat North Carolina tar heel.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: That that's an interesting dynamic there. Did w b C
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: change like did something like that little that one? First
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: of all, two things did that one moment screw this
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: clubhouse up?
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 3: I don't think so.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, I don't think did that one? Is that also
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: something that changed the person because baseball players are so
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: happy grab ass e a. You know we're talking at
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: first base. That's because that if he said that.
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 12: I don't think that Randy a Rose Arena and Cal
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 12: Rawley's beef is the reason why Josh Naylor hasn't hit
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 12: a home run in two months.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think it is. I think.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 12: I don't think it's the reason why the Mariners went
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 12: to this stupid ass piggyback and six.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 2: Man roo, the reason why Brian Wu sucks on the road.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 3: Nope, not at all.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: When it is, I don't know.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 3: I don't buy that.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: There's gotta be some reason he sucks on the road.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 6: What is it.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 12: Here's when you'll find last night, Here's when you'll find
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 12: out if Randy's got a real problem with Calwhnry signs
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 12: with somebody else.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: Over the offseason.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, then you'll find out.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 12: I think we got that he's playing for the Reds
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 12: next year or wherever the hell he is. Somebody will
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 12: ask him. He's like, oh yeah, I had a problem.
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 3: Screw that guy.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: That's a done deal. I was foreshadow with your interview
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: with Scott Boris. I think he needed no bones about that.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 12: So how about how about Randy rose Arena having the
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 12: best defensive game of his life last night?
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 3: Where the hell that come from?
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 12: It's like Jamal Adams sacrificing his body to make a
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 12: tackle at the one yard line, blowing his neck.
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 3: That's that's all for the.
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: Team best Jamal Adams making a play without getting the
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: benefit of a blitz.
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 3: That ten for eleven from the free throw line is
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 3: what that was like.
