1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,600 Speaker 1: Where we go. 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 2: Bill Kruder is going to join us, the crafty lefty 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 2: that was a nickname bestowed upon him by our friend 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 2: Mike Gastineau way back in the day, who introduced Bill 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 2: Kruger to the entity of radio. And he's still hanging around, man, 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 2: still hanging around this crazy business buddy talking about Bill, 7 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 2: not Gas. Gas was smart enough to get the hell 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 2: out Krueger. 9 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 3: Though. 10 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 2: Bill Kruger will join us and talk some baseball for 11 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: the first time this spring at five o'clock tonight, and 12 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: his thoughts on Luis Castillo is getting kind of clowned 13 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 2: a little bit so far in spring training. I hope 14 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: he's just tinkering with stuff right in spring training, because 15 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: you guys know me, I don't get too worked up 16 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 2: either way about spring training. I mean, I think spring 17 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: training is fun to have on in the background. It's 18 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 2: fun to have on as some white noise of the house. 19 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 2: It's a signal that spring and summer are on the way. 20 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: But just like preseason football, I can't wait for this 21 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 2: to be over and for the Mariners to be playing 22 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: for real in three weeks from tonight against the Guardians, 23 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 2: and Jackson and I were talking off the air about 24 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: the opening date for the Mariners. It's March to twenty sixth, 25 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: and we think that outside of their opening series they 26 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: played in Japan, remember when they brought each Row to 27 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: Japan when he retired in twenty nineteen. I think this 28 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 2: is the earliest opening day ever for them, March to 29 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 2: twenty sixth. Even my wife was remarking last night, God, 30 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: isn't that a little bit early? As a yeah, well, 31 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 2: the players have rights now, and they need days off 32 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 2: and things like that. There's also more baseball games in 33 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: the playoffs, and they don't want to push the World 34 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: Series too far in the November. So look, I mean, 35 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 2: you want to open up on a weekend obviously and 36 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 2: get as many Thursday, Friday, Saturday Sunday games as you can. 37 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: That's what they're doing. 38 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 2: But we are literally, guys, three weeks away from opening day. 39 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 2: And I was thinking about this on the way in 40 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 2: today that I still think the big story right now 41 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: in town is the Seahawks. I mean, coming off the 42 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: championship and free agency really begins on Monday, but technically 43 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: guys can start signing contracts on Wednesday. I still think 44 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: the Hawks are ruling the roost to your guys, I 45 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: still think the Hawks are the king of the hill 46 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: when it comes to the pie charts of important topics 47 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: for the Settle sports fan right now. 48 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, because the Husky basketball team didn't do what 49 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 4: we thought the Husky basketball team was going to do. 50 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 4: We talked about it in August, September, October this year 51 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 4: when they put that team together. We were like, we're going 52 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 4: to legit at the worst, we are going to legitimately 53 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 4: talking about a bubble team going into March. 54 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: Madness at the worst. 55 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 4: At the best, we're gonna be talking about a team 56 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 4: that's a six, seven to eight seed and in and 57 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 4: we're gonna be talking about matchups and that due to 58 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 4: a various a sundry of reasons, probably injuries being the 59 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 4: most important one, we're not talking about that. So yeah, 60 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 4: because I cannot watch spring training baseball for one reason, 61 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 4: it's fools gold for me. Anytime I actually watch it 62 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 4: in the past, legitimately sit down and watch spring training 63 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 4: baseball or watch preseason football, I allow it to affect 64 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 4: my opinion of what is going to come. And I 65 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 4: have realized that it has nothing, no bearing, no in 66 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 4: what is going to come in the rest. 67 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: Of the world, and that's why I hate it. 68 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: For the most part, I actually rather enjoy Cactus League 69 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: baseball versus the NFL preseason because Cactus League Baseball, I 70 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: can literally flip on a game and you got twenty 71 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: whatever of them you can watch and all that stuff 72 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 2: and just say, hey, there's a baseball game. 73 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: Noise. Isn't that fun? Have some fun? Right, there's sun 74 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: shining in Arizona. Whatever. 75 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: See a game from Florida, blah blah blah. But I 76 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: mean the NFL, a guy has a great game or 77 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: a great run in the fourth quarter against the ninth 78 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: string defense, and he's the next Barry Sanders, Like, what 79 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: are we doing? 80 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: Man? 81 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: I mean, half those guys you're watching won't even make 82 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: the damn football team, for God's sake. So I do 83 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: despise preseason football way more than I do preseason baseball 84 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: or spring trading baseball. I actually kind of forget, to 85 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: be honest with you, how I feel about preseason NBA 86 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 2: because I haven't watched it in twenty years. I got 87 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: no idea, But I just think this. I think that 88 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: the guts of this baseball team, look, they're pretty much 89 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: that you know what they are you know what the 90 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: Seahawks are going to be outside of a couple of 91 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: minor moves in free agency, which they're prone to make 92 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: and bound to make the draft whatever, these two teams, 93 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: for the most part are kind of set right. Like 94 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: it's not very often that we can sit here in 95 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: March and say we pretty much know what our NFL 96 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 2: team's going to look like in September. I mean pretty 97 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: much know what our baseball team's going to look like, 98 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 2: you know, a month, a month and a half before 99 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 2: the baseball season starts. 100 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 4: Now. 101 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: Obviously, the Seahawks have some unique situations, like with the 102 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 2: running back room, if Kenny Walker takes off, if Rasid 103 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: sh Heed takes off, if DeMarcus Lawrence retires, and I 104 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: was thinking about that again driving in today that you know, look, 105 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say that a championship will be won 106 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 2: or loss based on how John Schneider reacts in the 107 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 2: next week, week and a half. But my god, go 108 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: back to last year the moves the Seahawks made, and 109 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: the big one was obviously Sam Darnold, DeMarcus Lawrence, Cooper Cup, 110 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: Josh Jones, Marcus Valdez, scam Letting, DK Metcalf out letting 111 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 2: Geno Smith out. I mean there was about a month 112 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: or three or four weeks total starting with really right 113 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: now last season, last March, where this football team took 114 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: a pretty big step in the right direction with their personnel. Now, 115 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: I don't think they have as many holes right now 116 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: as they did a year ago at this time. I 117 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: think everybody would agree with that. But they're gonna have 118 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 2: some holes, especially if Kenny Walker takes off and Rashid 119 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: Shaheed signs on with somebody else in free agency. So 120 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: is it the right call to just let Tory Horton 121 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: bump up the food chain? Is it the right call 122 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 2: to let George Hallani climb up the ladder and become 123 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: your number two guy and then draft somebody or trade 124 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 2: for somebody, or require somebody in free agency to replace 125 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: Kenny Walker if he takes off. So I don't want 126 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 2: to put too much importance Dick on what's about to 127 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: happen in the next two weeks for the Seahawks, But 128 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: they're pretty damn important. 129 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 4: Oh, they're incredibly And this is the calm before the storm. 130 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 4: I mean, we are going on Monday, we are going 131 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 4: to be inundated. Yes, with NFL stores. Yes, so we 132 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 4: have today and tomorrow to kind of breathe right and 133 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 4: get ready for it. And but Jay, gird your loins 134 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 4: as they say in the movies. Man, it's gonna be 135 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 4: crazy starting Monday, and the Seahawks are going to be 136 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 4: one of the really the teams he really are going 137 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 4: to have to watch closely because of all these question 138 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 4: marks we have. 139 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 2: Well, the cool thing about the Seahawks is that everybody's 140 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: kind of chasing them, right, I mean, they're all trying 141 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 2: to become what the Hawks are. 142 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 5: Right. 143 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: Defensively, they're all trying to become what the Hawks have 144 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 2: become with their quarterback situation where they got a guy 145 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: that's pretty damn good, but they're not paying them, you know, 146 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 2: sixty million dollars a year. And look, we're the king 147 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 2: of the hill. We're at the top of the mountain. Man, 148 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 2: everybody's chasing us. I mean, the Rams are making the 149 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 2: moves they made with Trent McDuffie. And we're gonna have 150 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: Sirren Petro from Kansas City join us at four to 151 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: twenty eight and talk about how much he's got left 152 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: in the tank and why the Chiefs made that move 153 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: but they are making moves like that Jackson felt to 154 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 2: catch us. 155 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: The target is back on our back and I love it. 156 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 6: I mean, it's kind of funny that the big news 157 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 6: yesterday was the Trent McDuffie deal and for a guy 158 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 6: who was at the Huskies and then going now to 159 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 6: the Rams. 160 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we didn't spend any. 161 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 6: Time yesterday really talking about it, but this is a 162 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 6: move that, like in the grand scheme of things, at 163 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 6: the end of you know, January third, twenty twenty seven, 164 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 6: we might be looking at that trade yesterday and saying, damn, 165 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 6: that was the reason the Rams overtook us, because he 166 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 6: is the anti JSN weapon that they needed. That was 167 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 6: really the one really huge weakness on the Rams last 168 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,559 Speaker 6: year was their secondary, right, and that's where Sam Dnold 169 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 6: killed him. And this is their weapon to try to 170 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 6: shore that up. 171 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: Well there. 172 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 2: I mean again, they're doing it for one reason, because 173 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 2: they're trying to pass us. I mean, they would try 174 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: to pass whoever that team was, if it was Chicago 175 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 2: or the Cowboys, right might have done it. 176 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 4: Well, that's why they lost that game. They lost that 177 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 4: game because it's corner. 178 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 2: Because their secondary was terrible and I don't know how 179 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 2: much McDuffie has left in the tank. I mean, he 180 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 2: may not be the same guy he was a couple 181 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: of years ago. I'll just say this that Christian gonzales 182 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: I thought shut down Jackson Smith and JIGBA in the 183 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, Now that's prone to happen. How many times 184 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 2: did it happen over twenty games for Jackson Smith and Jigma, 185 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: like maybe three times, four times? Whatever it was where 186 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 2: JSN got truly shut down. It's hard to just look 187 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: at the stats and say, well, yeah he was shut 188 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 2: down in that game. Well, maybe they were using him 189 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 2: as a decoy that day for somebody else. I don't 190 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: know what Kubiak's plans were from quarter to quarter and 191 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: play to play, but I just know this that I 192 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: was pretty impressed by number eleven last year, guys, and 193 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 2: I kept saying it over and over again on the 194 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 2: air and kept asking Milan about it every Friday, When 195 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 2: is this guy gonna get shut down? And it was 196 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: never happening, never, And the Rams couldn't do it. And 197 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 2: that's why, again one of the reasons they went out 198 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 2: and got Trent McDuffie's So there is a little bit 199 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 2: of a chess game going on here, guys, right, not 200 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 2: to say that John Schneider is just sitting around thinking 201 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 2: that all he's gotta worry about is the Rams. He's 202 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: gonna worry about everybody in the NFC. But the just 203 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: made a pretty big chess move with Trent McDuffie. So 204 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 2: out of the counter, I. 205 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 4: Think Jasen's a better receiver than Trent McDuffie is a cornerback. 206 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: But I agree with it. 207 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 4: I was surprised to say, I didn't realize js n's 208 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 4: only a year and a half younger than Trent McDuffie, right, 209 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 4: I mean, I would have thought he's three four years 210 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 4: younger than Trent mcduffee. But Trent's tred is only twenty 211 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 4: five years old. He's gonna play most the next year, 212 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 4: and also twenty six. He's still in his prime. 213 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 2: And he played with Puka Nakua and Kyler Gordon and 214 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: Jack Westover at you dub when Westover was a freshman. 215 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: That's how long it was. 216 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 6: Trent McDuffie's seventeenth in PFF last year among the cornerbacks. 217 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: So I mean he's good. He's very good. 218 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, but we're not talking about it. Darryl Darrell Reeves. 219 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 2: He's good two or three guy, and he's I mean, 220 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: you can assume I think with a little bit of 221 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: confidence that the older he gets, the worst he's gonna get. 222 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't see him getting dramatically better. I 223 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 2: do wonder how he does with the Rams versus how 224 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 2: he played in Kansas City. But I do know this 225 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 2: that Steve Spagnola is one of the best defensive coordinators 226 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: in the history of the National Football League. And again 227 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 2: we're gonna find out really how much he's got left. 228 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: In the tank. 229 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: I think this is a very important deal that was 230 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 2: made in the NFC West that Seahawk fans should want 231 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 2: to hear more about and find out why the Chiefs 232 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 2: made this deal. 233 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: How much does he have left? 234 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 2: Was it just the money he was looking for and 235 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 2: the Chiefs simply put, didn't want to pay the guy. 236 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 2: So we'll talk to Saren Pitcher about all that coming 237 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 2: up at four twenty eight and Bill Krueger on the 238 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 2: air at five. But you know, again with the Mariners, Look, guys, 239 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I think this is again my philosophy on 240 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: baseball has not changed at all, even after what happened 241 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 2: last year with the Mariners and their Toronto series. They've 242 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 2: got a stretch of twenty games to open the year 243 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 2: starting three weeks from tonight, where fourteen of the first 244 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: twenty are against the Guardians, the Yankees, the Astros in 245 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 2: San Diego. Those are four pretty good teams, right, Like 246 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: seventy five percent of their first twenty games are against 247 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 2: pretty damn good baseball teams. So maybe they start nine 248 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: to eleven, maybe they start ten and ten. You know, 249 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 2: maybe they're eight and whatever. Right, wake me up in July, 250 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: open the curtain, tell me where the standings are, and 251 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 2: let's go right. I mean, you gotta get this thing 252 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 2: off and running before you have any idea what these 253 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 2: dudes are all about. The one thing I will keep 254 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: an eye on, though, for sure, is like, for example, 255 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 2: what's happening with Luis Castile. Luis Castillo's made a couple 256 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 2: of starts in spring training so far he hasn't looked good. 257 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: Luis Castillo last year, up until like the last three 258 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 2: or four games of the year, was getting hammered. 259 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: Like we talked about that. Everybody knew it. 260 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 2: They all saw what was going going on with Castillo 261 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 2: and the difference between last year's Castillo, I think, and 262 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: in previous years, and this is also something that we 263 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: discussed on the air, is that Luis Castillo was able 264 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 2: to get it out of his system before the stretch 265 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 2: stretch stretch run began, like the last two or three 266 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 2: weeks of September. He was able to cough it up, 267 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 2: and then he kind of found it again right as 268 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 2: the playoffs were about to start in October. 269 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: So I don't know. 270 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: I think the Mariners still have a pretty big leash 271 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 2: on this guy. I know they like him a lot. 272 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 2: He's a phenomenal clubhouse presence. He's making a lot of money. Frankly, 273 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 2: the Mariners don't have a lot of depth right now 274 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: in their starting rotation. I'm not gonna sit here and 275 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: say that if Castillo struggles, then yank him out of 276 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 2: there and give the job to Emerson Hancock at all, 277 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 2: because I don't even know what Emerson Hancock is going 278 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: to do for this baseball team. Last year he was 279 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: a reliever and now he's a starter again, is that right? 280 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 2: So they just keep jacking this guy back and forth. 281 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 2: But that's one thing to keep an eye on, man, 282 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: you know, because a lot of people have been talking 283 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: about how much this guy's got left in the tank 284 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 2: and at some point, dick, because you know, father time's 285 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 2: gonna catch up too well. 286 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 4: And it's the pitching that's gonna have to carry him early. 287 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 4: Do you really realize the Mariners before April twenty third, right, 288 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 4: have seventeen home. 289 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: Games, right, which is terrible, Right. 290 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 4: Seventeen times we're gonna have to go over there when 291 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 4: it's fifty two degrees out right and nobody's scoring any runs. 292 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 4: So the pitching staff has to come out nails because 293 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 4: we're gonna have to win a lot of three two 294 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 4: baseball games between now and the end of April. 295 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 2: Not totally mean, it's almost like you want them to 296 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: start a lot of games on the roads, right, like 297 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 2: play like twenty eight your first thirty five away from 298 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 2: Team Mobile Park or whatev. 299 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: Twenty six games. 300 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 2: Well, again, I think they should find a way. It's 301 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 2: one thing that has been disappointing for me is that 302 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 2: they have not been able to find a way to 303 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 2: overcome that, because guys, it's never going to change, right, 304 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: I got news for you. But the Mariners in baseball 305 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: can do nothing about the weather. They can do nothing 306 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 2: about the Marine layer. They can do nothing about any 307 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: of that. 308 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: So Shiffy'll do something about the schedule, though, you find 309 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: a way to figure it out. We should. It seems 310 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: like we're always at home in April. 311 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 2: But I don't think they have any impact on the schedule. 312 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 2: That's my whole point. My point is that find a 313 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 2: way to score runs, build an offense that can play 314 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 2: your park no matter what time of years. 315 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 6: So what they really need to do is take a 316 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 6: page out of the Sounders playbook. Because the Sounders are 317 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 6: on the road right now for seven straight games, because 318 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 6: they're installing grass. The World Cups just need to tell 319 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 6: Major League Baseball know what we're installing new. 320 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: We can't be at home in April. Rufe is broken, man, Sorry, 321 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: it's stuck. It's stuck. We got we got a sewage leak. 322 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 2: We got a sewage leak. We got feces in the 323 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 2: in the dugout, man like they did it in the 324 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: old Oakland Coliseum. We got problems. We've got a gas leak. 325 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 2: You know, somebody, somebody puncture a gas line. It's not 326 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 2: safe for the fans to be here. These guys have 327 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 2: got to open up on the road. The ballpark is 328 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 2: not sound. I mean that's again, you got to just 329 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 2: pull the plug. 330 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 5: Man. 331 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 2: Just you know the old Kevin Costner rumor. You guys 332 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: know about that, the cal or, the cal Ripken. Yeah, 333 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 2: the Kevin Costner cal Ripken. You never heard about that rumor. 334 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 2: There's an old underground rumor which Kevin Costner has come 335 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: on the air. Not this radio station, but he went 336 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 2: on Fox and it may have aired on this station, 337 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 2: by the way. And the rumor is that, like two 338 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 2: or three weeks before cal Ripken was about to break 339 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 2: the streak, the lou Garrick streak. Uh, he came home 340 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 2: and found his wife in bed with Kevin Costner and 341 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 2: told the orioles, I'm not playing the night.

So what they did, the 348 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 2: rumor is is that they pulled the plug on the 349 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 2: power at Camden Yards and there was no game that night, 350 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: and people will swear that the only outage in the 351 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 2: entire city was at the ballpark, what like, across the street, 352 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 2: the lights were on. 353 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: The power of Kevin Costner. 354 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 2: Now again, Costner has come on the air and he said, 355 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 2: that's complete hot wash, it's nonsense. 356 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: Whatever.

We're not playing the freaking Blue 377 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 2: Jays in the middle of the summer on a Friday, Saturday, 378 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 2: Sunday over Fourth of July weekend unless they let you 379 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: set your schedule.

Why did 401 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 2: the Chiefs trade McDuffie to the Rams? And then Bill 402 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 2: Kruger joins at five on ninety three to three KJRFM 403 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 2: from the. 404 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 3: R and R Foundation Specialist broadcast Studio.

Oh, 410 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 2: the men's basketball program at cal State University Bakersfield is 411 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 2: the center of a wild scandal after a former player 412 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 2: turn coach accused of running a multi state pimping operation 413 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 2: while working at the university. Authorities say Kevin Mays, ex 414 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 2: player for the Roadrunners, is facing eleven criminal and misdemeanor charges, 415 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 2: including felony pimping. By the way, while he was the 416 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 2: head coach of the school. Investigators say they identified a 417 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 2: woman advertising sex services and Sacramento and set up a 418 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 2: sting operation posing as a client.

So I 421 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 2: think it's appropriate here on the radio show on this 422 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 2: Thursday afternoon to discuss which current head coach or assistant 423 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 2: coach in Seattle is most likely to be operating as 424 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 2: a pimp behind the scenes. 425 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: I'm kidding by it actually gonna go down. I'm going 426 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: to go down the road. I'm always up for a 427 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: good challenge. 428 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: Oh my god, because I never know somebody. Man, you 429 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: never know what's going on behind closed doors. 430 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: That's why you don't want to know. Well listen, well, uh. 431 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 4: Well, wheels were turning there, Jackson, you kind of like 432 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 4: threw me up. 433 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 2: We'll leave that to the imagination of the audience, or 434 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 2: are you guys decide for yourself which person is most 435 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 2: likely assistant coach or head coach. It could be anything, right, 436 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 2: Maybe it's a support staff person, maybe a trainer. For 437 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 2: all we know, which person running UH is in town 438 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 2: right now? Most likely to be running a prostitution ring 439 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 2: and providing hotel rooms and rental cars and flights for hookers. 440 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 1: Four nine four or five to one, shout us a text. 441 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 2: Well, anyway, three weeks from tonight opening day for the Mariners, 442 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 2: and we've got some projections right on, some over unders. 443 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: And Dick came to me during the break and said. 444 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 2: You'll be surprised. You'll be surprised. It's just over under 445 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: for the Mariners. So let's let's see if I'm surprised. 446 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 2: So if I told, okay, so what what what organization 447 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 2: is this? By the way Baseball perspectives base perspectives got okay, 448 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 2: So the over under when you said I'll be surprised, 449 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 2: that makes it sound like it's lower than I think 450 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 2: it's going to be either way, lower way, you got 451 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 2: a guess which right, Well, I would say I probably 452 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 2: would put the over under for the Mariners win total 453 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 2: at like ninety one and a half, maybe ninety two 454 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 2: and a half. So because of your tone, by the way, 455 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 2: I'll say that they've got it much lower, at like 456 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 2: eighty seven and a half. Okay, that's what I'll predict, Jackson. 457 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 2: You want to jump in eighty nine and a half? Okay, 458 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: got it? Got it? 459 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: Ninety four? Pack two. They are good. 460 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 4: They are the best team according to the Baseball Perspectives 461 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 4: by five games over the Toronto Blue Jays. And I'm 462 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 4: not saying nine games in their division. They have us. 463 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 4: They have us winning the division by nine games. 464 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: Wow, that'd be nine which I had that job you 465 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: could have told me about for you, I don't know. 466 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 4: They have the Yankees a half game behind Toronto at 467 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 4: eighty nine. 468 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: Right, Well, I'm not see. 469 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 2: I'm not surprised by the number because I said ninety 470 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 2: one and a half. It's three games off where I 471 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 2: thought they'd be. I'm surprised at the delta between them 472 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 2: and the rest of the league. Yes, that surprises. Like 473 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 2: they're telling you that the Mariners are the best team 474 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: in the American League by far and away. 475 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: That's what they're saying. What's the delta. 476 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 4: Between the LA Dodgers and the rest of the National League? 477 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: Uh, well, what's the number for the LA. 478 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 2: Oh you're asking us what the number for the I'm 479 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 2: gonna say the number for the Dodgers is one hundred 480 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 2: and two and a half. 481 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, one oh four point two. Second place is 482 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 4: ninety point one. There's only two ninety win teams in 483 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 4: the NL, the Dodgers and the Cubs. 484 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: Right, they are clear. 485 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 4: They have the Dodgers ten full games clear of any 486 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 4: other team in baseball. 487 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 2: Which is kind of surprising because last year the National 488 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 2: League was perceived to be so much better than the 489 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 2: American League.

Yes, okay, last year it was one, two 497 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 2: three and the National League, excuse me, had one, two, three, 498 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: four five, five to three. 499 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 4: Now they have a lot of teams at eighty eight 500 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 4: eighty nine, which is close, but just over the ninety 501 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 4: win threshold. 502 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: It is only La Chicago and the Mariners. 503 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 2: Well, I just think it just speaks to the there's 504 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 2: a there's a theme here, like there was a year ago, 505 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 2: and that is outside of the Dodgers, who were a 506 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 2: massive outlier, there's going to be a buttload of parody 507 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 2: in baseball. 508 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: I mean, just just like there was a year ago. 509 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 5: Right. 510 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 2: That's why when you get that close, man, it's such 511 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 2: a crapshoot. 512 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: It's such a toss up, man. 513 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 2: I mean, you run the data, you run the algorithm 514 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 2: thing of abob whatever it's called, and you know the 515 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 2: numbers sped out. You never know, man, I mean it's like, uh, 516 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 2: you know, the the lottery for the Seahawks tickets that 517 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 2: your parents won, right, how many years have they been 518 00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 2: in that thing for fifty years or whatever? 519 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we got for Super Bowls. Well that's 520 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: pretty damn good. 521 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: Actually, the more the more lottery balls, the more spins 522 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 2: at the lett table you've got, the better your chances 523 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 2: are going to be come playoff time. Because guys, let's 524 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: not forget what this really is all about. Baseball is 525 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 2: all about giving yourself the best chance to perform come October. 526 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 2: That's what it's all about. Obviously, you got to make it. 527 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 2: I get it. But once you're there, every every move 528 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 2: you make, every breath you take. 529 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: I'll be watching you. Exactly. 530 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 2: This thing is about giving yourself the best shot in 531 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 2: October to perform. So that's why people get mad when 532 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 2: the Mariners don't do anything over the offseason. Uh, that's 533 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 2: why they get mad when they don't do anything of 534 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 2: significance of the deadline. And they have been doing things 535 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 2: at the deadline, and they have done things this year 536 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 2: in uh in November, December. I mean, I kind of 537 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 2: like the moves the M's have made this offseason. To 538 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 2: be honest with you, there are moves that were necessary. 539 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 2: They were moves that had to be made. I don't 540 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 2: know if there was any really big time offensive fire 541 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 2: power back that airport or aircraft carrier that I really 542 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 2: thought was worth the money out there. So I'm not 543 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 2: as down on them this year as I have been 544 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 2: on years pass. There's been a couple of years, as 545 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: you guys know, going back three four years ago, when 546 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 2: guys like Carlos Carrea were available, where I got pissed, right, like, 547 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 2: come on, guys, we have like an all time free 548 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 2: agent class and you're totally freaking ignoring it. So I 549 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 2: don't have that same thought now that I had a 550 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 2: couple years ago. I do think the Mariners should be 551 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 2: and better be in a position to make some moves 552 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 2: of the deadline if they have holes and they need 553 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 2: to fill them. They did it a year ago, they 554 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 2: did it two years ago, and I don't see any 555 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 2: reason to stop right now. 556 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: But this is all about. 557 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 2: Just giving yourself as many freaking spins dick on that 558 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 2: roulette table as you can get come October. 559 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: That's it. 560 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 4: Well, what's dangerous? And you mentioned the parody, and you're 561 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 4: exactly right. They only have six teams winning less than 562 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 4: seventy five games. 563 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 1: So they're at the bottom class. 564 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 4: The lower class of Major League Baseball is very, very small. 565 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, what's the over under on 566 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 1: the White Sox win. 567 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 4: Totals sixty nine? 568 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 2: Well, that's a pretty big number, by the way, because 569 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 2: they won sixty a year ago. That's a pretty significant 570 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 2: jump versus where they were last season. 571 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: I still probably take. 572 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 4: The only dregs of the league they have, or Chicago 573 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 4: the Angels, who, oh my god, the Angels have fallen 574 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 4: to sixty six wins. I mean, that is how far 575 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 4: the angel parked. Washington, Saint Louis, and Colorado. 576 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: That's it. 577 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 4: Those are the only quote unquote bad teams that they 578 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 4: think there's gonna be this year. 579 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: I think. 580 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 2: Look, I mean, if I told it right now, the 581 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 2: Mariners did exactly what they did a year ago. 582 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: They go ninety and seventy two. Do you take it? No, 583 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: you take it? I do. 584 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 2: Because it was good enough to win the West last year. 585 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's good enough to win the West's. 586 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: Double boat out. 587 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, if you think about all the things that could 588 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 6: potentially go wrong with this team. Luis Castillo. The last 589 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 6: two preseasons starts the spring training start. Excuse me if 590 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 6: stended he's just done right. You have a guy who's 591 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 6: massively injured. We lose just Nayland for a couple months. 592 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 6: It takes double bogie out where we know we have ninety, 593 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 6: we know we're in the playoffs. 594 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,719 Speaker 4: I kind of feel like this year you're gonna end 595 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 4: up about where you were, maybe a game or two 596 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 4: ahead of where you were last year. But I think 597 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 4: it's just gonna be a much more consistent year. Last 598 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 4: year was five hundred for like four and a half months, right, 599 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 4: and then play out of your mind baseball after that. 600 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be like that. 601 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 4: I think every every month, like okay, three four games 602 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 4: over five hundred, three four games, maybe a good month, 603 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 4: three or six games over five hundred. Maybe a month 604 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 4: where or even five hundred. But overall, I just think 605 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 4: it's gonna be a steadier season than last year, which 606 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 4: really was mediocre until mid allest. 607 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 2: The problem with ninety wins is it puts you kind 608 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 2: of right there on the edge of maybe making it 609 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 2: and maybe not making it. 610 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: Right, I think they win the division. 611 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 2: Well, it's been good enough for four years in a 612 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 2: row to make the playoffs. In baseball in the American League, 613 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 2: it was not good enough. In twenty twenty one, the 614 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 2: Yankees and the Red Sox won ninety two and they 615 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 2: were the Cards, White Sox. Tampa Bay and the Astros 616 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,959 Speaker 2: won ninety three, ninety five and one hundred and they 617 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 2: won their division. So you're going on four years now, guys, 618 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 2: where ninety wins is good enough to make the playoffs. 619 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 2: That makes me still a little nervous, right, I think 620 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 2: you're ninety two, ninety three, you can almost lock it in. 621 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 2: But ninety is like you can squint your eye a 622 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 2: little bit here, till your head that way, and you 623 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: can see, you know, if the Astros get hot again, whatever, 624 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 2: the Rangers get better, that might not. 625 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 4: Be enough because ninety wins could be eighty eight and 626 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 4: seventy one with a three game series left right, right right, 627 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 4: and you're like, oh my god, we have to win 628 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 4: two of three to win the. 629 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: Division, or two three or ninety two, like you already 630 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: have ninety wins going into the final final three. 631 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 2: I realized that the playoffs have expanded. I know that, 632 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 2: but I'm just tossing out twenty twenty. It was not 633 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 2: good enough. In nineteen it was not good enough in eighteen. 634 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 2: It was not good enough in twoenty seventeen. Yes, it 635 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 2: was because the Twins one eighty five, So you're talking, 636 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 2: you know, three or really ninety wins. Once they expanded 637 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 2: the postseason, then it became much more likely, obviously when 638 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 2: they added the sixth team. But you're still I agree 639 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 2: with Dick Jackson, still right there on the edge. 640 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, I just don't think this division is any better 641 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 6: for Texas and Houston. 642 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: I think will win the division easily with ninety wins, 643 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: so easily. 644 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 6: Factly, I just think they got worse and I think 645 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 6: Yankees in Toronto got better. We stayed the same, and 646 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 6: I'm fearing the Alcs. 647 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: That's it. 648 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing, man. Did the Mariners get worse 649 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,479 Speaker 2: or did they get better? On paper? I mean, all 650 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 2: we can talk about is on paper because they haven't 651 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 2: played a damn game yet.

He does 733 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 4: a weekly radio hit on Pat McAfee's show, and he 734 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 4: is constantly in the news because he never signs his 735 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 4: contract or tells us if he's coming back until like August. 736 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 2: Well, and the only reason why the Steeler is allowing 737 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 2: to get away with it is because they're desperate at quarterbacks, right, 738 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 2: I mean, god darn man. 739 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: You're saying that your wife and what's her name, Brittanny? 740 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: Is that right?

If Aaron 762 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 2: Rodgers is actually lying that he doesn't really have a wife, 763 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 2: I think I think he's lying. 764 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: Because nothing that he says would surprise me. 765 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 5: Nothing. 766 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 2: I think I think he's a Grade AY weirdo, absolute 767 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 2: Grade A weirdo. And if he was my quarterback, I'd 768 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 2: be like, dude, you better be like thirteen and four 769 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 2: every year. 770 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm done. 771 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,760 Speaker 4: We're all about grad A and weirdos is starting quarterback 772 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 4: here in Seattle game. 773 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 2: I don't think it's even close, not even close, because 774 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 2: I think Aaron Rodgers could actually do some damage. 775 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: I think Russell Wilson's harmless. Man. This guy's in he 776 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: is capable of some bad things. Man. All right, hey, Dick, 777 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: did you happen to hear that? What's that? Two? Three 778 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: or four? You pick one? Right? 779 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,280 Speaker 2: College Football Hall of Famer and eighty eight National champion 780 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 2: Lou Holtz passed away on Wednesday at the age of 781 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 2: eighty nine. Let's go back to an ESPN College Football 782 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 2: Final show back in November of eleven, when Lou Haltz 783 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 2: made the argument for Wisconsin's Russell Wilson winning the Heisman 784 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 2: Award instead of Trent Richardson and RG three. 785 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 7: Let's focus on just one other player who would be 786 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 7: a candidate. That's a young man a name of Russell Wilson, 787 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 7: the quarterback at Wisconsin. All he has done instead of 788 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 7: school record for touchdown passes, this that he is moved 789 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 7: within one game a thirty six eight games throwing a 790 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 7: touchdown record, which is an all time national record. Let's 791 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 7: look at the chase of him establishing the pass efficiency record. 792 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: He's at two to one. 793 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 7: The record was set by Colt Brennan at one eighty six. 794 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 7: And you say, well, let's measure that. Well, there was 795 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 7: a quarterback in by the name of Aaron Rodgers who 796 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 7: has a passing record of one twenty nine, twenty seven 797 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 7: points better than Tom Brady. Now, if you take Russell 798 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 7: Wilson's pass efficiency and use the pro standards, his record 799 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 7: is one forty one. 800 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 3: The council halls, I don't think the formulas are the things. 801 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 7: No, no, but no, this is using the pro formula 802 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 7: on Russell Wilson. Using that it's at one forty one, 803 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 7: which is still higher than Aaron Rodgers. And at this 804 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 7: that he's he's on record, just at an all time 805 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 7: is he a record of yards per attempt, yards per play? 806 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 7: I mean, how can you say, well, we can't look 807 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 7: at anybody else but these two guys. That's because he 808 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 7: not knowing. Oh work, and look at what Russell wall 809 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 7: I the brothers. 810 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 2: Okay, first of all, First of all, I cannot hear 811 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 2: that voice and not here Chuck Powell doing louvill Did 812 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 2: you hear. 813 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: Him this morning? No? Oh, he did a whole segment. Well, 814 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: he's been doing it for thirty years now. 815 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 2: I remember when Chuck was on sports fan radio back 816 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 2: in the day doing the Overnight show and I was 817 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 2: running the board and he was doing Lou Holtz on 818 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 2: Sports Fan in Vegas thirty years ago. 819 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: And he's very good at it. I think he should 820 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: do it more often. 821 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 2: Number two, let me ask you this, the day you die, 822 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,280 Speaker 2: do you want people having a smile on their face, laughing, 823 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 2: telling jokes stories about you? Or do you want to 824 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 2: be in serious and not busting your balls? I want 825 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 2: people busting my balls beyond belief. 826 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 6: Yes. 827 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:40,800 Speaker 2: I don't know what kind of guy Lou Holtz was, 828 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,919 Speaker 2: and so I thought maybe yesterday was not the day 829 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 2: to talk about his lisp. But I will say this 830 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 2: that the legacy for me that Lou Holtz leaves for 831 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 2: a lot of people obviously, is twofold. Number one, he 832 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 2: won the national championship at Notre Dame. And number two, 833 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 2: he's the only guy that could go on national TV 834 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 2: and when he's done, the entire country has to wipe 835 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 2: their face off. Okay, And that's what we should be celebrating, 836 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 2: because that's what made him unique. 837 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 1: Yes, right, I mean. 838 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 2: The fact that he was a coach who fit all 839 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 2: over the microphone and all over the camera. 840 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: He was known for his lisp. 841 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 2: I'm sorry there's a reason why people like Chuck Powell 842 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 2: do an impression of him, because it's unique, That's why. 843 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 2: And it's one of the things that I believe that 844 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 2: made Lou Holtz special. 845 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,800 Speaker 4: He and Mark may were perfectly maddening together on that show. 846 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, they both drove me nuts. 847 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 4: Their takes were ridiculous, and yet they went at it 848 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 4: like that every single week and it made it really good. 849 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 2: Do you think that his lisp is what kind of 850 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 2: made him stand out a little bit, because there's a 851 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 2: lot of guys in TV and radio that are analysts, 852 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 2: and you don't see people doing impressions of them, right, No, 853 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 2: there's a reason why a lot of people were doing 854 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,240 Speaker 2: impressions of Lou Holtz. So in honor of Lou Holtz, 855 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 2: throw well us at fourth twenty Gate from Kansas City 856 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 2: right here on ninety three three KJRFM
