Happy Friday folks, MJ gets rolling as the drive in wasn't traffic jammed, it was an easy commute! We pivot to the Mariners who had a tough loss against the Houston Astros, and are we concerned about the M's star Julio Rodriguez as he was a late scratch ahead of the game. Noah Fant, could he be on his way out because of Elijah Arroyo could be a playmaker in the offense. We hit to all fields as Netflix will be releasing a new documentary in June.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
This is so weird to say, and maybe it's because
the commute. Friday is my favorite day to come into work.
And because the commute, I feel like I'm the Philadelphia
Eagles getting a police escort where it's just this open
highway from five oh from Pacific Highway North onto the
(00:25):
five oh nine to Marginal Way, you know, into Alaskan Way,
and it's just like, it's just it's it's my favorite
day to come into work. And people are like, hey, well,
most people in Seattle don't have to commute into work
on a Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Well, I love commuting into work.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I love like doing this job every day, but I
love commuting into work specifically on Fridays and Monday's. Kid,
I just wish the Amazonians and the Microsoftians wouldn't have
to go to work on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
You're singing to the choir here because I still go
on the HLV line.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
But oh, by the way, I do that every day
every day.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
It is cool when you're getting up and heading on
the road and it's not crazy packed, Yes, an easier commute.
You're calling at the wheel. You are, it's really simple.
You are the simple things in life.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Oh my god, it's like it's enjoyable, it's an I'm like,
if this commute was every day, I would be so
much less stressed.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Maybe in the early two thousands it was like that
every day.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I can't remember.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I can't pinpoint a specific time when I thought traffic
wasn't an issue. Maybe because a I was a teenager,
didn't have my license and I'm doing a thousand other things,
getting arrived by someone panting to the music on my phone,
whatever the case may be. Now, as a driver, consistently,
I feel you mark on a Friday.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Wow, I love it.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It's really and.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's really one of life's free pleasures that.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Isn't X rated.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
It's just it's like no, literally, like when you commute
in and you go through that grind of a FOURD
hour and listen, Hey to all y'all out there that
actually do not that this isn't a real job. But
we work in the toy store of life. Let's be real,
and we're very lucky and honored and grateful to do so.
We all make mistakes. I certainly did this week. But
(02:29):
we work in the toy store of life, and for
all y'all that are going to jobs, and I know,
listen like work can suck, and I'm sure a lot
of y'all hate your jobs. But if I can, and
we can, Christopher kid and I can give you maybe
and you can't listen for three hours, maybe thirty minutes,
(02:52):
maybe ten minutes, maybe three minutes, whatever, if we can
give you just a little bit escape from the job
that you hate, from a stressful personal situation that you're in,
whether it be family or your friends, or your girlfriend
or your boyfriend, or your husband, wife, your son, daughter,
side piece. I don't judge whatever it is. That's what
(03:16):
we want to do here, that's what we want to do.
And another thing I was thinking about today, Not only
do I love the commute into on Friday, there's one
more thing I hate about sayings that don't make sense.
So the first saying that doesn't make sense to me,
and well it does to a certain extent. But you
always hear this when somebody's having an operation. It's a
(03:38):
quote minor procedure. Oh really, if anybody's going under and
getting anesthesia, to me, there's nothing minor about that. My
mother this week, she has two absolutely horrible knees. Thankfully,
by the grace of the big Man above. And I'm
(03:58):
not talking about in the call Jokic.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
She made it.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
She got her first knee replaced on Wednesday, her left
knee replaced. She's got to have the right one done
in July. But thankfully that went through. And a lot
of people will say, now I'm not just my mom's
wasn't a minor procedure.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
It was major.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
But people will always say, oh, it's a minor procedure. Yeah,
if you're not having it. If you're not having it,
it's minor. To the other person, it's major. It's major.
And I don't care. And I got a root canal
back in January and it ended up being okay. They
you know, numbed me up with nova caine and make
(04:37):
sure that I couldn't feel anything. And then he came
in and I didn't feel a thing. There's nothing another
saying that I do question, especially after this week and
and and you will feel me on this one and
know what I'm talking about. The saying that says there's
no such thing as bad publicity, well, oh, contray Monfrere.
(05:03):
I'm gonna beg to differ on that. One after this week.
Oh let me tell you something. Now, granted, publicity is
publicity and it's but trust me, unless it happens to you,
there is such a thing as bad publicity. And I
can tell you this isn't my first time. I hope
it's my last time. But there is such a thing
(05:26):
as bad publicity. Kid, And and so I get it
what people say, and you know whatever, and you know,
I you know, but even for whatever you know, you know,
let me just tell you there is such a thing.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
As bad publicity. And I'll leave it at that. There is,
and and believe me, like and I know people like, oh,
you know, that's fine, you know you didn't do anything.
I get it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Listen, Yeah, I'm not you know, P Diddy or R
Kelly or you know, I'm not in that realm or
even what Shannon Sharp was accused of whatever that realm.
But there is such a thing as bad publicity. Let
me tell you. Allow me to be self deprecating for
a second.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
There is. And let me tell you something. I'm a
human being, and I.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Have built up, over the course of twenty plus years
in his business, somewhat of a thick skin. But guess
what I have. It's like the you know, I'm going
to do a Softy year. The beginning of a Rocky three.
When Paulie gets arrested and Rocky bails him out of
his brother in law out of jail. He goes, you
know what, rock I got feelings. This ain't cardboard, and
(06:37):
Paullie says it goes and Rocky goes everybody does, and
then Paully goes to hell with everybody, and then Rocky said, no,
maybe it's the hell with you. He goes, you think
the world those you saw. I'm not going to go
into it, but let me tell you something. I've got
feelings and bad publicity.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
It hurts.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
So let me tell you something. It's been a horrible
week for me. I want to close on a positive note,
and I want to again thank everybody in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yes, oh right, oh, yes, we've got that too.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yes, that that would be yeah, that would be a
Mariner's win and Nick's win. And how about an Edmonton
Oilers win tonight? Let's get one of those two. We'll
be getting to eleven forty four. Beat the books, Thank you,
and you're welcome for Anthony Edwards last night, right, ant man,
what he showed up.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
He showed up.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
I knew he would.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I knew he would. He showed the hell up.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Not in win, but for all y'all that listened to
M Jane the Midday yesterday between eleven forty four and
one of my most loyal, devoted listeners who bets on
all my picks, Rick corkran, Rick, I'm hey, you got
another win, man.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I'm glad you're winning money on my pick.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So I'm gonna be giving out maybe one or two
more coming up at eleven forty four. But aunt man
came through last night, and I knew he would show
up because he's got pride and he turns the negative
in to a positive.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
So that wash.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
They didn't win. And and and here's the bad news. Seattle,
Oklahoma City Thunder they're going to.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
The NBA Finals. I mean it's a rap that that serio.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I mean, yeah, Minnesota could take one in there, but
I just don't see this series going longer than five games.
I think it's a rap. They're gonna win one. Okay, see,
you will split in Minnesota. They'll wrap it up down
in Okay. See, it's not looking good. It's not looking good.
And it's not lookingd Sga is so fing good, isn't he? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
My god?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I do.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And then and then you knew he's just getting started, though, Mark,
I know, just scratching the surface, just scratching the surface.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Man. That's how somebody texted us yesterday at four nine,
four or five one on the text line and they, uh,
they said, Hey, who's the who do you think the
next US born player that could win MVP?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I think that Caro, you know what.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I yeah, But he's a he's not there yet, but
he could be trending up there.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
He could be true, he's he could.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yes, he could take that next step in season three
next year or four, he could take that next step.
I believe maybe season four for him. I'm gonna go
Donovan Mitchell and Jalen Brunson and and I still think
if this guy can do it more during the regular season,
maybe Tyrese Haliburton. So there's that, uh, tough one last
(09:29):
night for the MS. I'm not disappointing. George Kirby. Dude
hadn't thrown a pitch against live bullets all season and
I mean against Major League live bullets all season long.
He came out he was rusty, didn't quite have it,
didn't quite have it, and it's something that you know,
(09:52):
it's he was, he was okay for a little bit,
and then the Astros were there to tag him. They
were and you know what, and even after the Mariners
took two out of three versus them here, you never
ever count them out.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
And not to mention, Julio.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Got her, I know, and in batting practice he didn't
even I mean, and like, what's concerning.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, Oh, let's just hope it's minor.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I hope it is minor. But it's a long season.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
He is your best player, I mean overall, I mean,
not pitch, non pitcher, he's your best player. You don't
want that to happen. It's a long season. I was
a little concerned because it didn't happen during a game.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's concerning.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
It's like that non contact batting practice, whatever the case
may be. You don't want your guy going down and
you don't even watch him play.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
You're like, what do you mean.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
He's Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Is this team gonna turn into twenty No?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
No, no, no, no, we don't want to get there.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
No, no, no, no, no, I'm just but they've been hit Kirby, Gilbert,
and they've stood strong.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Right Raley.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
And I mean you've you've seen this and Bliss and
then I hope I think Julio and I'm hoping Julio
is just day to day. I think that's what they
deemed it, day to day there, but yeah, that's not
something that it always starts day to day mark, I know,
I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, I'm hoping it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I mean, speaking of day to day or fifteen day
to L was George Kirby since the beginning of the season,
he was on a fifteen day L fifteen day I
L for two months practically.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
I'm a little nervous.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, And he's starting to come on now, he's starting
to come on so much. Check the weather app Yeah, yeah,
he's starting to. I know, he's starting. He's starting to
turn it on now, man, he really is, and you
hate to see it. Let's just hope it's only temporary.
And but here's the thing, better safe than sorry, don't
(11:59):
rush back. Make sure you are literally like really really good.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Like like right now.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Obviously you know with Jorge Polanco, he can't hit left hitters,
but he can only hit right now from the right
side of the place, so he can't go lefty because
of hitting left because of something there, and you just
it's like, wow, he's playing hurt. And when you play hurt,
(12:27):
you wonder do you get more hurt? And so it's
you gotta be careful on this, and yeah, you gotta
throw caution to the wind. And you got to say
to someone like Julio, is that yep, let's basically let's
be safe and sorry. If he has to sit out
the rest of this series, so be it, so be it.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Be okay, I'd bother him. Yeah, get the rest he
needs to prepare for the long haul. I mean, you're
going to him.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
We're not even at JUNI yet, Yeah, I mean, but
we're not even there yet. And it's like, I mean,
they've just just don't want them, like this team to
turn into the Lions of baseball where remember the Lions
Aiden Hutchinson and another one and another one, And it's
like Jamison Williams, like whoa, what's going on here? And like, man,
(13:13):
I mean they just but they're keeping winning. Like the Lions,
who had the best record in the NFL. I believe
fifteen and two, so they had the number one seed
in the NFC playoffs. So let's just get through this.
Hopefully Logan Gilbert be coming back soon. Don't worry too
(13:34):
much about And I think Aaron Goldsmith brought a good
point last night that when you saw Kirby pitch last night,
he was hitting ninety seven ninety eight with his fastball,
So don't be too concern and his Now the thing
that concerned me about him, he hit two batters unintentionally.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
That was a little disconcerting for me on that.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
But don't get too much on one outing. It was
his first outing. Hadn't thrown against live bullets all season long,
all season long. So yeah, from that standpoint, just Kirby's
gonna it's He's going through spring training in the start
of the season all at once here at the end
(14:18):
of maybe beginning in June. So I think he's gonna
be fine, but you know, and then there was a
situation last night with Brian Wu who took a foul
ball off the leg while sitting in the dugout during
the eighth inning, and he was seeing limping back into
the clubhouse with a trainer on the TV broadcast, and
(14:39):
Dan Wilson said after the game quote he was up
and around and walking around, so he should be fine. So, man,
that's weird that that that happened, because they talked about
the astro starter. Spencer Aarraghetti broke his right thumb when
he was hit by a line drive while playing catch
(14:59):
in left field when the Mariners took batting practice back
in the beginning of the season here at T Mobile Park.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
And he's still on the il. So it rough night.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You got three more games, get a split, and you
go eight and two on the road trip.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Just get the split.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I'm not asking for three out of four, just just
get the split.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Actually you would go no, you hit the split.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, you go eight and two on the road trip, No,
seven to three, and I'm polish my math forgive me
seven and three on the road trip. And you come
home coming up this Tuesday against the Nationals and the Twins,
who are a tough team, and then the team who's
at the bottom of the barrel. And nobody saw this coming.
They just fired their manager a couple of weeks ago
with the Baltimore Orioles. So it was a nice nine
(15:46):
game homestand coming up at T Mobile Park before they
hit the road again for a six gamer against the
Angels and Diamondbacks. So rough night for Kirby, don't you know.
Just don't get too bad on it. He was okay
for a little bit and then it got away from him.
And listen, the Astros, man, they're just this is why
they're the Mariners nemesis. They always have been, they always
(16:12):
will be. And you know in the Mariners great season,
they had that magical season when Cal hit the home
run against Oakland and put him in the twenty twenty
two playoffs, and then they beat Toronto and then they
faced those Astros in twenty twenty two, and it's just
they're always going to be a thorn. And I never
count those dudes out. Man, They're just winners. And that
(16:33):
was a rope last night that Altuve hit. Oh my god,
as soon as it hit the back of my gun,
that's it. Like, I mean, it was you know, it
wasn't you know, a five hundred foot but it was
just like, wow, is that that dude can still mash
man and he does it on two strikes. He's like
the best two strike hitter we've seen in baseball. One
(16:55):
of the best in the last decade. He does everything
on two strikes. So when you think you've got him,
I've got him now Zho and two I got him.
No home run laser left field's gone. So a lot
of that listen Coming up today. We have Tyler Kettner,
senior writer from The Athletic who'll be coming up, and
(17:16):
then Sean Pendergass, morning show host on Sports Radio six'

Together so, yeah we appreciate.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
That please keep the Text you also have the voice
text line there as, well so keep them. Coming The
Seattle seahawks made a, statement of, course as you well
know when they took my guy from THE, U Elijah,
arroyo with the fiftieth overall pick in the. Draft you
(19:51):
know that they acquired no offense and That Russell wilson
deal From denver three years.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Ago and.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Though they haven't been able to get the tight end
position right Since Zach, miller even When Jimmy graham was,
here they didn't use them. Properly they should have Because
jimmy had a lot left in the, tank but they
didn't use them. Properly hopefully the Next Miami Hurricane Elijah,
royal they'll be able to get something a lot more
(20:22):
out of. Him AND i think In Clint kubiak's, offense
they will not my. Favorite you certainly know How Hugh
millan feels about. Him forty eight, catches five hundred yards
and one touchdown last. Year he's entering the final season
of a two, year twenty one million dollar deal that
he signed Last. March, NOW Espn seahawks Reporter Brady henderson
(20:45):
believes there's a chance the team Trades fan later this,
summer perhaps before training, camp during training camp. Preseason so
the one thing you do have to say right now
before you do anything like that you got to see
About Elijah, Royal AND i can tell you this just
from watching him throughout his years at THE. U he
(21:10):
got hurt for pretty much most of two seasons At,
miami so he does have those injury. Concerns The seahawks
medical staff obviously gave the double thumbs up on saying
that he was medically cleared enough to take him in
(21:31):
the second round of the.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Draft but look At Noah fan the last three.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Years three, years he has one hundred and thirty, receptions
which is twentieth in the, league which is bottom, half
fourteen hundred receiving yards twenty first in the, league bottom,
half and one touchdown which is tied for thirty.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Eight so that's basically dead last.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Place his average per year value ten point five million,
Dollars so that's eleventh amongth tight. Ends, certainly not the
eleventh best tight, end certainly.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Not but NONETHELESS.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I Hope Elijah royal because when you take someone that,
high you're looking at.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
This if You're.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
John schneider in The, seahawks what you want is. This
you Want Gray's, abel Nick Emmon, Moory Elijah, royal.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
And Jylen. Milroe those are your top upper echelon.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Picks and you Hope horton out Of Colorado, State, richmond you,
know the offensive lineman they got out Of, Iowa, oots
the fullback out Of. Bama you hope that those guys.
Hit but you really need your first three rounds to
all be. Successful if you can do that in almost every,
(22:56):
draft or your first three rounds are, successful you're gonna
build a franchise that's going to be not only a
perennial division, winner but a team that's gonna be in
the playoffs every. Season AND i love the draft That
John schneider. HAD i thought it was arguably the best
draft in THE. Nfl arguably other teams had great. DRAFTS
(23:18):
i think The patriots had a really good. Draft but
The patriots are absolute. Garbage and even though they look
like they have a young up and comer And Drake,
MAY i, mean they overpaid For Stefan. Diggs they don't
have much around That Hunter, henry they can't. Score their
defense looks like they're gonna be pretty. Good i'm, Hoping,
(23:38):
chris That Elijah arroyo is gonna be the tight end
THAT i think he can and will.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Be and who, knows maybe in.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Three years would be, like, man he's better Than lovelin
And Tyler, warren right.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Ste And Mason.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Taylor, yeah there's a lot of talented tight ends from
this previous draft and for him for him to if
he does reach those, goals that would be he would
Be that would be.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
CRAZY i don't have words for.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
IT i think the IMPACT i think in the red
zone could really help because they need someone in that.
AREA i don't want to base it on last thing
because it's a new, team but you would want them
to improve on that stat last year where they were
not really good in the red zone and you have
a Target Mike, oarroo big, strong goes up and get it.
Physical that's Someone okay's first and. Goal let's let's throw
(24:34):
him the rock the first. Down let's just see what.
Happens you, know give him a. Shot let me let
me tell.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
You let me tell, you AND i can assure You
mike McDonald And Klint kubiak won't make this. Mistake if
The seahawks season comes down a week, eighteen AND i
believe they play the forty nine ers At San, francisco,
oh that would check for. You, OKAY i believe if
if memory serves me. Correct it's the forty nine ers
in in Uh Levi, stadium which will hopefully they'll be
(24:59):
playing there again in a.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Month you know WHAT i mean about?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
That? Right Super, Bowl let's just say The seahawks need
to win that, game and let's just say the defense
is getting shredded that day By Brock. Purdy And i'll
make the correlation here because this is how much it
still burns. Me let's say that they just can't stop a.
Nosebleed But Sam donald's on fire against his former, team
just just going up and down the, field Hitting Cooper,
(25:24):
cup HITTING jsn hit you know all these, guys you,
Know Damian martinez having a big, Game kenny's having a big,
game you. Know but the defense just doesn't have it that.
Day and The seahawks come, down there's over two minutes.
Left they get first and, goal which turns into fourth
and goal at The niners nine yard line with no timeouts,
(25:46):
left so they, know and they're down by. Seven so
you'll see Where i'm going. Here let's just hope that,
Situation mike McDonald doesn't choose to kick a field goal
the way That Mario christobal did Against syracuse BECAUSE i,
said right then and, there why not just throw To Elijah. ROYO,
a he could catch, it tie GAME b he doesn't
(26:10):
catch IT pi OR c he catches it and.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
IT'S pi and it's as.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
High game OR d he just, it it's a pass
breakup and it's deflected And syracuse gets the ball. Back,
Instead miami kicks a field. Goal they kick off To.
Syracuse kyle McCord first, down game. OVER i Know mike
McDonald And Clint kubiak won't make that. Choice and when
you have a big guy Like Elijah, royo especially when
(26:40):
you're in a, first, second, third or fourth goal, situation
you want to go and throw to. Him you want
to Go and because DK's, gone so you can't do
that right. NOW i mean he's he's wearing black and,
yellow black and, yellow black and, yellow to Quote Whiz,
khalifa he's gone right, now he's out of. There So
elijah roy is a big. Target feed, them feed, them
(27:04):
let you, know let's, eat let's. Go but but ALSO
i want to ask one question About noah. FAN i
Know humillian And i'm not a fan of the biggest
fan Of noah fan fan of, fan but do you
think maybe it was a product Of Ryan grubb and
and and.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
The fact that they just had trouble scoring in the red.
ZONE i, mean.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
SO i don't know how much is based on that
you can blame on Just NO a fan as you
could have the. System maybe the system failed The. Hawks
So i'm hoping that Maybe. NO A fan still has
something left and you have a too tight end. Set
that's okay with me as. Well all, right coming up, next, Man,
(27:46):
wow it's amazing when you're a billionaire that what the
power that you have over people enough to make them risk.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
And lose their.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Lives we'll get to that next right here On hitting
To All FIELDS mj in The, Midday Sports radio ninety
three three kJ r F m.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
Broadcasting live from THE r AND R Foundation Specialist Broadcast.
Studio now back TO mj in The midday on your
home for The, Huskies krak And, Sounders Sports radio ninety
three point three KJR.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
M all, right hitting to all fields right here On
Sports radio ninety three to THREE. KJR i just, also you,
know one of the THINGS i love being here is
being teammates and listening to guys Like Hugh millen And
Bucky jacobson when they break down the. Game and today
was listen on the way into The Morning show With,
Bucky chuck And, ashley And bucky was talking about the
(28:41):
difference in terms of pitching in terms of throwing it,
over like blowing it past someone and then kind of
nibbling and finding. Location How Munio Andre's munios doesn't have
to do.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
That and it's.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Weird it's LIKE i got to catch myself sometimes every
Time Hugh millan's talking about football Or Bucky jacobson's talking about,
Baseball i'm on my, phone like literally putting notes in
the notes section of my, phone, like, OH i didn't know,
That And i'm learning something As i'm listening to these,
guys and they do it where they explain, it you,
know to a non athlete like, me and Where i'm
(29:14):
able to understand.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
It and it's just, like oh my, GOD i didn't
EVEN i didn't even think about.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
That SO i was listening today to the nine o'clock
segment and they were talking, about, hey, listen here's the.
Difference and you know about how certain, pictures you, know
they just blow, by and then there's ones that you
gotta find, location and they nibble around the strike zone
and the difference about and some guys can do, both
And i'm, like oh, God and THEN i look.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Up i'm, like, oh hit the, Brake so oh got
a can't text while you?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Drive, Well i'm not, texting But i'm putting the notes
in my, phone AND i might need to use the
voice memo. Section so it's, like, man listen to these
guys when they're. Talking listen to them because you'll learn.
Something Because i'm learning, Something, okay WHEN i listen to
these guys and talk about, football and he was talking
about something the other yesterday we had him on And i'm,
like oh my, God i've never even heard that.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Before so it's amazing how you can.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Learn never stop, learning all, right hitting to all fields right, Now,
chris this is a pretty Horrific you know what's? Weird
until you sent this to me last, NIGHT i obviously
remembered when when it, happened BUT i had forgotten about
it since.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
THEN i.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
CAN'T i don't blame you for, it just because part
of it Was i'm trying to figure out the word
to say. This it wasn't the best decision for this
to for them to do this, anyway it's about to. Explain,
yeah SO i can understand why you'd. FORGET i can
understand WHY i wouldn't be on the tip of your mind.
Daily for, example everyone will remember nine to, eleven.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
No question, Right AND i think and, unfortunately and even
though this is another THING i don't want to be reminded,
of so because this is also a to, me nine
to eleven's as bad as it. Gets BUT i gotta
tell you the New town thing in twenty, twelve or
where twenty six children in first or second grade were
killed In connecticut by some crazy psycho that comes into
(31:11):
an elementary school and starts killing little.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Kids that also is something that you never.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Forget you never, forget but you try to suppress it
and you try to not think about it because it
just puts you in a really bad mental health. State
and you sent this thing about Ocean. Gate and there
was this, guy this billionaire what's his name, Again his
name is.
Speaker 4 (31:36):

Speaker 7 (32:50):
Like there was No wife nine way title was going to,
file but it was a mathematical certainty that it would.
File stockton saw an opportunity to restart, tourist physicist To.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Titanic stockton fully believed in what he was doing and
that it would. Work he wanted you to, fame to
fuel the's, ego. FAME i have no desire to. DIE
i understand this kind of. Risk that Thought stockton was
a borderline. Psychopath how do you manage a person like
(33:25):
that who owns the? Company is one of the safest
THINGS i will ever. Do nobody spoke. Up he would
ruin somebody's.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Life Stock AND i, Said bonnie is going to be
our next lead. Pilot are you?
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Nuts i'm an.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Accountant no one's dying under my, watch.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Period those last, words no one's dying under my. Watch
that's just that's. Eerie it's sad because he thought he
thought he had it all figured.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Out he, did and people warned him like hey, man
and by the, WAY i one THING i didn't, remember
and you remind me. AGAIN i forgot That he did
go down there once in.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Say twenty twenty one and twenty twenty, two they did.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Dives and then now he added to it and, said
how ABOUT i bring people with me that are interested
in seeing, this seeing The, titanic because, HEY i know
the story about The titanic and you get opportunity to
go and see. That that's really. Cool that's, cool that's
something you would want to put on maybe on your.
CHECKLIST i got a chance to go see A, titanic
right a muzim and at the bottom of The. Atlantic not.
(34:36):
Safe they don't recommend. This no one's, thinking, hey let's
let's have a. Tour that's not it's not it's not a.
Situation whereas In New york they have a, museum they
have THE i feel what it's. Called but you can
see where the towers were. Stood, yes you can go see.
That it's got, it you.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
KNOW i, Actually, CHRIS i went there a month after
and you know what was. Weird let me just tell
you something and let's let's talk the, music because this
is a, really really grim. Thing SO i used to
be a ring announcer for this wrestling company and it's
pretty famous CALLED ecw and the guy by name Of
Paul hayman was my. Boss and so it folded in
(35:12):
two thousand and one AND i started to do independent.
Shows and there was an independent show In New York
city right near where The Twin towers. Were In october
two thousand and. One AND i kid you not WHEN
i tell you to this, day you could still smell
the smoke a month.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Later it was.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Unbelievable nine, like And i'm, like oh, no and you
just saw the gravel and it was you, know obviously
at that point it hadn't you. Know they were still
in the complete total post reckoning stage of.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
That And i'm, like oh, no that was. Bad it
was just, like, oh your heart just breaks To SO.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
I saw it a month after And i'm, like oh,
NO i don't, ever but from somebody who's, Claustrophobic i've got,
Caught i've got stuck in an elevator, twice and that's
what made me. Claustrophobic going down in a. SUBMARINE i
don't give a. Crap If Elon, Musk Jeff, BEZOS i
(36:15):
don't care about. Anything i'm not doing. IT i want
nothing to do with. That that is, No i'm good on.
That so you, know.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Obviously those people didn't deserve to.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Die you know that the one guy Who, stockton who
wanted to make it, happen he's the one who caused.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
This but it's just unfortunate they had to lose their
lives in this situation.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
All, Right The mariners have some, issues not the loss
last night With George, kirby But julio and some other,
things especially With Logan. Gilbert we'll talk To Tyler, kepner
senior writer For The athletic next ON mj and The
Midday Sports radio ninety three to THREE kjrfm
Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
This is so weird to say, and maybe it's because
the commute. Friday is my favorite day to come into work.
And because the commute, I feel like I'm the Philadelphia
Eagles getting a police escort where it's just this open
highway from five oh from Pacific Highway North onto the
(00:25):
five oh nine to Marginal Way, you know, into Alaskan Way,
and it's just like, it's just it's it's my favorite
day to come into work. And people are like, hey, well,
most people in Seattle don't have to commute into work
on a Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Well, I love commuting into work.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I love like doing this job every day, but I
love commuting into work specifically on Fridays and Monday's. Kid,
I just wish the Amazonians and the Microsoftians wouldn't have
to go to work on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
You're singing to the choir here because I still go
on the HLV line.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
But oh, by the way, I do that every day
every day.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
It is cool when you're getting up and heading on
the road and it's not crazy packed, Yes, an easier commute.
You're calling at the wheel. You are, it's really simple.
You are the simple things in life.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Oh my god, it's like it's enjoyable, it's an I'm like,
if this commute was every day, I would be so
much less stressed.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Maybe in the early two thousands it was like that
every day.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I can't remember.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I can't pinpoint a specific time when I thought traffic
wasn't an issue. Maybe because a I was a teenager,
didn't have my license and I'm doing a thousand other things,
getting arrived by someone panting to the music on my phone,
whatever the case may be. Now, as a driver, consistently,
I feel you mark on a Friday.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Wow, I love it.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It's really and.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's really one of life's free pleasures that.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Isn't X rated.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
It's just it's like no, literally, like when you commute
in and you go through that grind of a FOURD
hour and listen, Hey to all y'all out there that
actually do not that this isn't a real job. But
we work in the toy store of life. Let's be real,
and we're very lucky and honored and grateful to do so.
We all make mistakes. I certainly did this week. But
(02:29):
we work in the toy store of life, and for
all y'all that are going to jobs, and I know,
listen like work can suck, and I'm sure a lot
of y'all hate your jobs. But if I can, and
we can, Christopher kid and I can give you maybe
and you can't listen for three hours, maybe thirty minutes,
(02:52):
maybe ten minutes, maybe three minutes, whatever, if we can
give you just a little bit escape from the job
that you hate, from a stressful personal situation that you're in,
whether it be family or your friends, or your girlfriend
or your boyfriend, or your husband, wife, your son, daughter,
side piece. I don't judge whatever it is. That's what
(03:16):
we want to do here, that's what we want to do.
And another thing I was thinking about today, Not only
do I love the commute into on Friday, there's one
more thing I hate about sayings that don't make sense.
So the first saying that doesn't make sense to me,
and well it does to a certain extent. But you
always hear this when somebody's having an operation. It's a
(03:38):
quote minor procedure. Oh really, if anybody's going under and
getting anesthesia, to me, there's nothing minor about that. My
mother this week, she has two absolutely horrible knees. Thankfully,
by the grace of the big Man above. And I'm
(03:58):
not talking about in the call Jokic.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
She made it.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
She got her first knee replaced on Wednesday, her left
knee replaced. She's got to have the right one done
in July. But thankfully that went through. And a lot
of people will say, now I'm not just my mom's
wasn't a minor procedure.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
It was major.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
But people will always say, oh, it's a minor procedure. Yeah,
if you're not having it. If you're not having it,
it's minor. To the other person, it's major. It's major.
And I don't care. And I got a root canal
back in January and it ended up being okay. They
you know, numbed me up with nova caine and make
(04:37):
sure that I couldn't feel anything. And then he came
in and I didn't feel a thing. There's nothing another
saying that I do question, especially after this week and
and and you will feel me on this one and
know what I'm talking about. The saying that says there's
no such thing as bad publicity, well, oh, contray Monfrere.
(05:03):
I'm gonna beg to differ on that. One after this week.
Oh let me tell you something. Now, granted, publicity is
publicity and it's but trust me, unless it happens to you,
there is such a thing as bad publicity. And I
can tell you this isn't my first time. I hope
it's my last time. But there is such a thing
(05:26):
as bad publicity. Kid, And and so I get it
what people say, and you know whatever, and you know,
I you know, but even for whatever you know, you know,
let me just tell you there is such a thing.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
As bad publicity. And I'll leave it at that. There is,
and and believe me, like and I know people like, oh,
you know, that's fine, you know you didn't do anything.
I get it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Listen, Yeah, I'm not you know, P Diddy or R
Kelly or you know, I'm not in that realm or
even what Shannon Sharp was accused of whatever that realm.
But there is such a thing as bad publicity. Let
me tell you. Allow me to be self deprecating for
a second.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
There is. And let me tell you something. I'm a
human being, and I.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Have built up, over the course of twenty plus years
in his business, somewhat of a thick skin. But guess
what I have. It's like the you know, I'm going
to do a Softy year. The beginning of a Rocky three.
When Paulie gets arrested and Rocky bails him out of
his brother in law out of jail. He goes, you
know what, rock I got feelings. This ain't cardboard, and
(06:37):
Paullie says it goes and Rocky goes everybody does, and
then Paully goes to hell with everybody, and then Rocky said, no,
maybe it's the hell with you. He goes, you think
the world those you saw. I'm not going to go
into it, but let me tell you something. I've got
feelings and bad publicity.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
It hurts.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
So let me tell you something. It's been a horrible
week for me. I want to close on a positive note,
and I want to again thank everybody in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yes, oh right, oh, yes, we've got that too.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yes, that that would be yeah, that would be a
Mariner's win and Nick's win. And how about an Edmonton
Oilers win tonight? Let's get one of those two. We'll
be getting to eleven forty four. Beat the books, Thank you,
and you're welcome for Anthony Edwards last night, right, ant man,
what he showed up.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
He showed up.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
I knew he would.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I knew he would. He showed the hell up.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Not in win, but for all y'all that listened to
M Jane the Midday yesterday between eleven forty four and
one of my most loyal, devoted listeners who bets on
all my picks, Rick corkran, Rick, I'm hey, you got
another win, man.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I'm glad you're winning money on my pick.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So I'm gonna be giving out maybe one or two
more coming up at eleven forty four. But aunt man
came through last night, and I knew he would show
up because he's got pride and he turns the negative
in to a positive.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
So that wash.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
They didn't win. And and and here's the bad news. Seattle,
Oklahoma City Thunder they're going to.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
The NBA Finals. I mean it's a rap that that serio.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I mean, yeah, Minnesota could take one in there, but
I just don't see this series going longer than five games.
I think it's a rap. They're gonna win one. Okay, see,
you will split in Minnesota. They'll wrap it up down
in Okay. See, it's not looking good. It's not looking good.
And it's not lookingd Sga is so fing good, isn't he? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
My god?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I do.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And then and then you knew he's just getting started, though, Mark,
I know, just scratching the surface, just scratching the surface.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Man. That's how somebody texted us yesterday at four nine,
four or five one on the text line and they, uh,
they said, Hey, who's the who do you think the
next US born player that could win MVP?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I think that Caro, you know what.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I yeah, But he's a he's not there yet, but
he could be trending up there.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
He could be true, he's he could.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yes, he could take that next step in season three
next year or four, he could take that next step.
I believe maybe season four for him. I'm gonna go
Donovan Mitchell and Jalen Brunson and and I still think
if this guy can do it more during the regular season,
maybe Tyrese Haliburton. So there's that, uh, tough one last
(09:29):
night for the MS. I'm not disappointing. George Kirby. Dude
hadn't thrown a pitch against live bullets all season and
I mean against Major League live bullets all season long.
He came out he was rusty, didn't quite have it,
didn't quite have it, and it's something that you know,
(09:52):
it's he was, he was okay for a little bit,
and then the Astros were there to tag him. They
were and you know what, and even after the Mariners
took two out of three versus them here, you never
ever count them out.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
And not to mention, Julio.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Got her, I know, and in batting practice he didn't
even I mean, and like, what's concerning.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, Oh, let's just hope it's minor.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I hope it is minor. But it's a long season.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
He is your best player, I mean overall, I mean,
not pitch, non pitcher, he's your best player. You don't
want that to happen. It's a long season. I was
a little concerned because it didn't happen during a game.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's concerning.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
It's like that non contact batting practice, whatever the case
may be. You don't want your guy going down and
you don't even watch him play.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
You're like, what do you mean.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
He's Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Is this team gonna turn into twenty No?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
No, no, no, no, we don't want to get there.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
No, no, no, no, no, I'm just but they've been hit Kirby, Gilbert,
and they've stood strong.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Right Raley.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
And I mean you've you've seen this and Bliss and
then I hope I think Julio and I'm hoping Julio
is just day to day. I think that's what they
deemed it, day to day there, but yeah, that's not
something that it always starts day to day mark, I know,
I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, I'm hoping it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I mean, speaking of day to day or fifteen day
to L was George Kirby since the beginning of the season,
he was on a fifteen day L fifteen day I
L for two months practically.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
I'm a little nervous.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, And he's starting to come on now, he's starting
to come on so much. Check the weather app Yeah, yeah,
he's starting to. I know, he's starting. He's starting to
turn it on now, man, he really is, and you
hate to see it. Let's just hope it's only temporary.
And but here's the thing, better safe than sorry, don't
(11:59):
rush back. Make sure you are literally like really really good.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Like like right now.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Obviously you know with Jorge Polanco, he can't hit left hitters,
but he can only hit right now from the right
side of the place, so he can't go lefty because
of hitting left because of something there, and you just
it's like, wow, he's playing hurt. And when you play hurt,
(12:27):
you wonder do you get more hurt? And so it's
you gotta be careful on this, and yeah, you gotta
throw caution to the wind. And you got to say
to someone like Julio, is that yep, let's basically let's
be safe and sorry. If he has to sit out
the rest of this series, so be it, so be it.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Be okay, I'd bother him. Yeah, get the rest he
needs to prepare for the long haul. I mean, you're
going to him.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
We're not even at JUNI yet, Yeah, I mean, but
we're not even there yet. And it's like, I mean,
they've just just don't want them, like this team to
turn into the Lions of baseball where remember the Lions
Aiden Hutchinson and another one and another one, And it's
like Jamison Williams, like whoa, what's going on here? And like, man,
(13:13):
I mean they just but they're keeping winning. Like the Lions,
who had the best record in the NFL. I believe
fifteen and two, so they had the number one seed
in the NFC playoffs. So let's just get through this.
Hopefully Logan Gilbert be coming back soon. Don't worry too
(13:34):
much about And I think Aaron Goldsmith brought a good
point last night that when you saw Kirby pitch last night,
he was hitting ninety seven ninety eight with his fastball,
So don't be too concern and his Now the thing
that concerned me about him, he hit two batters unintentionally.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
That was a little disconcerting for me on that.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
But don't get too much on one outing. It was
his first outing. Hadn't thrown against live bullets all season long,
all season long. So yeah, from that standpoint, just Kirby's
gonna it's He's going through spring training in the start
of the season all at once here at the end
(14:18):
of maybe beginning in June. So I think he's gonna
be fine, but you know, and then there was a
situation last night with Brian Wu who took a foul
ball off the leg while sitting in the dugout during
the eighth inning, and he was seeing limping back into
the clubhouse with a trainer on the TV broadcast, and
(14:39):
Dan Wilson said after the game quote he was up
and around and walking around, so he should be fine. So, man,
that's weird that that that happened, because they talked about
the astro starter. Spencer Aarraghetti broke his right thumb when
he was hit by a line drive while playing catch
(14:59):
in left field when the Mariners took batting practice back
in the beginning of the season here at T Mobile Park.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
And he's still on the il. So it rough night.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You got three more games, get a split, and you
go eight and two on the road trip.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Just get the split.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I'm not asking for three out of four, just just
get the split.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Actually you would go no, you hit the split.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, you go eight and two on the road trip, No,
seven to three, and I'm polish my math forgive me
seven and three on the road trip. And you come
home coming up this Tuesday against the Nationals and the Twins,
who are a tough team, and then the team who's
at the bottom of the barrel. And nobody saw this coming.
They just fired their manager a couple of weeks ago
with the Baltimore Orioles. So it was a nice nine
(15:46):
game homestand coming up at T Mobile Park before they
hit the road again for a six gamer against the
Angels and Diamondbacks. So rough night for Kirby, don't you know.
Just don't get too bad on it. He was okay
for a little bit and then it got away from him.
And listen, the Astros, man, they're just this is why
they're the Mariners nemesis. They always have been, they always
(16:12):
will be. And you know in the Mariners great season,
they had that magical season when Cal hit the home
run against Oakland and put him in the twenty twenty
two playoffs, and then they beat Toronto and then they
faced those Astros in twenty twenty two, and it's just
they're always going to be a thorn. And I never
count those dudes out. Man, They're just winners. And that
(16:33):
was a rope last night that Altuve hit. Oh my god,
as soon as it hit the back of my gun,
that's it. Like, I mean, it was you know, it
wasn't you know, a five hundred foot but it was
just like, wow, is that that dude can still mash
man and he does it on two strikes. He's like
the best two strike hitter we've seen in baseball. One
(16:55):
of the best in the last decade. He does everything
on two strikes. So when you think you've got him,
I've got him now Zho and two I got him.
No home run laser left field's gone. So a lot
of that listen Coming up today. We have Tyler Kettner,
senior writer from The Athletic who'll be coming up, and
(17:16):
then Sean Pendergass, morning show host on Sports Radio six'
TEN kilt In. Houston we will talk to him about

(17:37):
so we'll get to, that and don't Forget Sports radio

(18:23):
he doesn't have much long to.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Live my grandfather ninety six years, old has masks on

(18:47):
The Korean. War so to My pepe thinking about, You
i'm going to be home in two, weeks and thank

navy who defended our country and home starting In World War,
two through The Korean, War, vietnam and The Cold, war
then enjoyed his retirement surrounded by grateful, family as well
(19:09):
as our Uncle Marvin, bert who flew jets off carriers

yes thank you very much to Both george And marvin
for serving our. Country and your uncle and my grandfather serve.
Together so, yeah we appreciate.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
That please keep the Text you also have the voice
text line there as, well so keep them. Coming The
Seattle seahawks made a, statement of, course as you well
know when they took my guy from THE, U Elijah,
arroyo with the fiftieth overall pick in the. Draft you
(19:51):
know that they acquired no offense and That Russell wilson
deal From denver three years.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Ago and.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Though they haven't been able to get the tight end
position right Since Zach, miller even When Jimmy graham was,
here they didn't use them. Properly they should have Because
jimmy had a lot left in the, tank but they
didn't use them. Properly hopefully the Next Miami Hurricane Elijah,
royal they'll be able to get something a lot more
(20:22):
out of. Him AND i think In Clint kubiak's, offense
they will not my. Favorite you certainly know How Hugh
millan feels about. Him forty eight, catches five hundred yards
and one touchdown last. Year he's entering the final season
of a two, year twenty one million dollar deal that
he signed Last. March, NOW Espn seahawks Reporter Brady henderson
(20:45):
believes there's a chance the team Trades fan later this,
summer perhaps before training, camp during training camp. Preseason so
the one thing you do have to say right now
before you do anything like that you got to see
About Elijah, Royal AND i can tell you this just
from watching him throughout his years at THE. U he
(21:10):
got hurt for pretty much most of two seasons At,
miami so he does have those injury. Concerns The seahawks
medical staff obviously gave the double thumbs up on saying
that he was medically cleared enough to take him in
(21:31):
the second round of the.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Draft but look At Noah fan the last three.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Years three, years he has one hundred and thirty, receptions
which is twentieth in the, league which is bottom, half
fourteen hundred receiving yards twenty first in the, league bottom,
half and one touchdown which is tied for thirty.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Eight so that's basically dead last.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Place his average per year value ten point five million,
Dollars so that's eleventh amongth tight. Ends, certainly not the
eleventh best tight, end certainly.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Not but NONETHELESS.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I Hope Elijah royal because when you take someone that,
high you're looking at.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
This if You're.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
John schneider in The, seahawks what you want is. This
you Want Gray's, abel Nick Emmon, Moory Elijah, royal.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
And Jylen. Milroe those are your top upper echelon.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Picks and you Hope horton out Of Colorado, State, richmond you,
know the offensive lineman they got out Of, Iowa, oots
the fullback out Of. Bama you hope that those guys.
Hit but you really need your first three rounds to
all be. Successful if you can do that in almost every,
(22:56):
draft or your first three rounds are, successful you're gonna
build a franchise that's going to be not only a
perennial division, winner but a team that's gonna be in
the playoffs every. Season AND i love the draft That
John schneider. HAD i thought it was arguably the best
draft in THE. Nfl arguably other teams had great. DRAFTS
(23:18):
i think The patriots had a really good. Draft but
The patriots are absolute. Garbage and even though they look
like they have a young up and comer And Drake,
MAY i, mean they overpaid For Stefan. Diggs they don't
have much around That Hunter, henry they can't. Score their
defense looks like they're gonna be pretty. Good i'm, Hoping,
(23:38):
chris That Elijah arroyo is gonna be the tight end
THAT i think he can and will.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Be and who, knows maybe in.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Three years would be, like, man he's better Than lovelin
And Tyler, warren right.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Ste And Mason.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Taylor, yeah there's a lot of talented tight ends from
this previous draft and for him for him to if
he does reach those, goals that would be he would
Be that would be.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
CRAZY i don't have words for.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
IT i think the IMPACT i think in the red
zone could really help because they need someone in that.
AREA i don't want to base it on last thing
because it's a new, team but you would want them
to improve on that stat last year where they were
not really good in the red zone and you have
a Target Mike, oarroo big, strong goes up and get it.
Physical that's Someone okay's first and. Goal let's let's throw
(24:34):
him the rock the first. Down let's just see what.
Happens you, know give him a. Shot let me let
me tell.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
You let me tell, you AND i can assure You
mike McDonald And Klint kubiak won't make this. Mistake if
The seahawks season comes down a week, eighteen AND i
believe they play the forty nine ers At San, francisco,
oh that would check for. You, OKAY i believe if
if memory serves me. Correct it's the forty nine ers
in in Uh Levi, stadium which will hopefully they'll be
(24:59):
playing there again in a.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Month you know WHAT i mean about?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
That? Right Super, Bowl let's just say The seahawks need
to win that, game and let's just say the defense
is getting shredded that day By Brock. Purdy And i'll
make the correlation here because this is how much it
still burns. Me let's say that they just can't stop a.
Nosebleed But Sam donald's on fire against his former, team
just just going up and down the, field Hitting Cooper,
(25:24):
cup HITTING jsn hit you know all these, guys you,
Know Damian martinez having a big, Game kenny's having a big,
game you. Know but the defense just doesn't have it that.
Day and The seahawks come, down there's over two minutes.
Left they get first and, goal which turns into fourth
and goal at The niners nine yard line with no timeouts,
(25:46):
left so they, know and they're down by. Seven so
you'll see Where i'm going. Here let's just hope that,
Situation mike McDonald doesn't choose to kick a field goal
the way That Mario christobal did Against syracuse BECAUSE i,
said right then and, there why not just throw To Elijah. ROYO,
a he could catch, it tie GAME b he doesn't
(26:10):
catch IT pi OR c he catches it and.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
IT'S pi and it's as.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
High game OR d he just, it it's a pass
breakup and it's deflected And syracuse gets the ball. Back,
Instead miami kicks a field. Goal they kick off To.
Syracuse kyle McCord first, down game. OVER i Know mike
McDonald And Clint kubiak won't make that. Choice and when
you have a big guy Like Elijah, royo especially when
(26:40):
you're in a, first, second, third or fourth goal, situation
you want to go and throw to. Him you want
to Go and because DK's, gone so you can't do
that right. NOW i mean he's he's wearing black and,
yellow black and, yellow black and, yellow to Quote Whiz,
khalifa he's gone right, now he's out of. There So
elijah roy is a big. Target feed, them feed, them
(27:04):
let you, know let's, eat let's. Go but but ALSO
i want to ask one question About noah. FAN i
Know humillian And i'm not a fan of the biggest
fan Of noah fan fan of, fan but do you
think maybe it was a product Of Ryan grubb and
and and.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
The fact that they just had trouble scoring in the red.
ZONE i, mean.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
SO i don't know how much is based on that
you can blame on Just NO a fan as you
could have the. System maybe the system failed The. Hawks
So i'm hoping that Maybe. NO A fan still has
something left and you have a too tight end. Set
that's okay with me as. Well all, right coming up, next, Man,
(27:46):
wow it's amazing when you're a billionaire that what the
power that you have over people enough to make them risk.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
And lose their.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Lives we'll get to that next right here On hitting
To All FIELDS mj in The, Midday Sports radio ninety
three three kJ r F m.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
Broadcasting live from THE r AND R Foundation Specialist Broadcast.
Studio now back TO mj in The midday on your
home for The, Huskies krak And, Sounders Sports radio ninety
three point three KJR.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
M all, right hitting to all fields right here On
Sports radio ninety three to THREE. KJR i just, also you,
know one of the THINGS i love being here is
being teammates and listening to guys Like Hugh millen And
Bucky jacobson when they break down the. Game and today
was listen on the way into The Morning show With,
Bucky chuck And, ashley And bucky was talking about the
(28:41):
difference in terms of pitching in terms of throwing it,
over like blowing it past someone and then kind of
nibbling and finding. Location How Munio Andre's munios doesn't have
to do.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
That and it's.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Weird it's LIKE i got to catch myself sometimes every
Time Hugh millan's talking about football Or Bucky jacobson's talking about,
Baseball i'm on my, phone like literally putting notes in
the notes section of my, phone, like, OH i didn't know,
That And i'm learning something As i'm listening to these,
guys and they do it where they explain, it you,
know to a non athlete like, me and Where i'm
(29:14):
able to understand.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
It and it's just, like oh my, GOD i didn't
EVEN i didn't even think about.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
That SO i was listening today to the nine o'clock
segment and they were talking, about, hey, listen here's the.
Difference and you know about how certain, pictures you, know
they just blow, by and then there's ones that you
gotta find, location and they nibble around the strike zone
and the difference about and some guys can do, both
And i'm, like oh, God and THEN i look.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Up i'm, like, oh hit the, Brake so oh got
a can't text while you?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Drive, Well i'm not, texting But i'm putting the notes
in my, phone AND i might need to use the
voice memo. Section so it's, like, man listen to these
guys when they're. Talking listen to them because you'll learn.
Something Because i'm learning, Something, okay WHEN i listen to
these guys and talk about, football and he was talking
about something the other yesterday we had him on And i'm,
like oh my, God i've never even heard that.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Before so it's amazing how you can.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Learn never stop, learning all, right hitting to all fields right, Now,
chris this is a pretty Horrific you know what's? Weird
until you sent this to me last, NIGHT i obviously
remembered when when it, happened BUT i had forgotten about
it since.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
THEN i.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
CAN'T i don't blame you for, it just because part
of it Was i'm trying to figure out the word
to say. This it wasn't the best decision for this
to for them to do this, anyway it's about to. Explain,
yeah SO i can understand why you'd. FORGET i can
understand WHY i wouldn't be on the tip of your mind.
Daily for, example everyone will remember nine to, eleven.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
No question, Right AND i think and, unfortunately and even
though this is another THING i don't want to be reminded,
of so because this is also a to, me nine
to eleven's as bad as it. Gets BUT i gotta
tell you the New town thing in twenty, twelve or
where twenty six children in first or second grade were
killed In connecticut by some crazy psycho that comes into
(31:11):
an elementary school and starts killing little.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Kids that also is something that you never.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Forget you never, forget but you try to suppress it
and you try to not think about it because it
just puts you in a really bad mental health. State
and you sent this thing about Ocean. Gate and there
was this, guy this billionaire what's his name, Again his
name is.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
S Stockton.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Rush he's THE ceo of Ocean gate or he, was,
well yes he, was he was. Right he was THE
ceo of Ocean, gate which is headquarters In, everett by the,
Way so, CRAZY i.

File stockton saw an opportunity to restart, tourist physicist To.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Titanic stockton fully believed in what he was doing and
that it would. Work he wanted you to, fame to
fuel the's, ego. FAME i have no desire to. DIE
i understand this kind of. Risk that Thought stockton was
a borderline. Psychopath how do you manage a person like
(33:25):
that who owns the? Company is one of the safest
THINGS i will ever. Do nobody spoke. Up he would
ruin somebody's.
Speaker 4 (33:33):

Speaker 4 (33:39):
Accountant no one's dying under my, watch.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Period those last, words no one's dying under my. Watch

thought he had it all figured.
