Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yesterday after the show, and he brought up a great
point with me. He said, if Shader Sanders doesn't become
QB one in Cleveland or Pops right away, he might
not be there too long. And I said, well, I
mean how long is too long? He said, well, think

(00:23):
about this. Look at the trade that the Jags in
Brown's made. Cleveland has Jacksonville's first round pick and next
year's very quarter back rich draft. Now, I don't know
about you. I don't have the Jags win in many

(00:45):
games this year. I just don't. I think that they're
Jacksonville and they'll be lucky to win four or five
games this season. So that happens, Guess who's gonna get
a top three pick, and not even the top three
pick because they're probably gonna suck on their own is Cleveland.
They're going to get Jacksonville's pick, which could be number

(01:07):
one overall, and then we're talking about the richest QB
draft in quite some time. Arch Manning, Garrett Nussmeyer, Lsu Cade,
Club Nick Clemson, Leonora Sellers, South Carolina, Big dude there.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Love that guy.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Drue Aller, Penn State, Nico Iam Olavea Ucla, Sam Levitt Asu,
Carson Beck Miami, John Matteer Wazoo fans now at Oklahoma.
So next year's draft is going to be loaded, which

(01:49):
means I could see Cleveland they spent what a third round,
fourth round pick on Dylan Gabriel a fifth round pick
on Shodoor Sanders. That's an easy cut. There's no dead
cap money there for either one of them. So I
could see the Browns being on the clock again next year,

(02:12):
not only with their own pick in the first round,
but the pick that they're getting from Jacksonville, who will
be one of the worst teams in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Said, Wow, you're right.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
You don't they get Cleveland has a chance to get
arch Manning that Nah, Nah, We've got Shadure Sanders and
Kenny Pickett. No, No, that'll be if I was Shadure Sanders.
Here's some advice and Dylan Gabriel, rent, don't own, just rent.
Do not buy property in the Cleveland area. You might

(02:45):
not be there that long, either one of you. So
that's an interesting thing to keep an eye on next
year's I will make a prediction like last year's QB
draft class with Bo Nix and Caleb Williams, and Jaden
Daniels and my Michael Pennix. Next year's draft class will
have five to six guys that will go in the

(03:05):
first round, maybe seven. If Mateer pops off at Oklahoma,
he could be a first round If Carson Becks has
a bounce back year at Miami, he's going to be
a top ten pick. So be very interesting to watch this.
You know, next year's draft is where you want to
capitalize on QBS. This year's not so much this year,

(03:27):
and that's why only one guy went in the first round.
All right, three weeks ago, I was at Jimmy's on
first coming off a loss. The Mariners were coming off
a heartbreaking loss the night before to the Houston Astros
and extra innings, twelve innings, and it just looked like

(03:50):
this team is there four and eight. They were wallowing
and it looked like, oh, this is going to be
a really long season. I mean, they got off to
a horrific start. I'm at Jimmy's on First before the
game against the Rubber game against the Astros, it was
a businessman special and I went off on this team

(04:12):
just off and now it's time for me to eat
some crow bro and here's what it sounded like. Three
weeks ago. On Wednesday, April ninth, when the Mariners were
four and eight coming off an extra innings loss to
the Astros, Cal Rowley came up, hit a double and
put him in scoring position. Couldn't get anything done. They

(04:34):
left ten runners on base. They were one for nineteen
with runners in scoring position. I mean, come on, I mean,
Coachella could have done a better job against the Astros
last night. Your Triple A affiliate could have done a
better job one for nineteen with runners in scoring position.
I mean, you have to try to be that bad.

(04:56):
That's an accomplishment. It's almost like like, yeah, we're gonna
give you. You just tell me we're gonna go ahead and
we're gonna throw the game. Then final understand it. Here's
the worst part. They were trying to do well last night.
They still were won for nineteen with runners in scoring position.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Oh, I was that was it? I wasn't done. I
mean it was.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
There was no shortage of vitriol to be spewed that day.
Four and eight. Best pitching staff in baseball four and eight.
You're wasting the best pitching staff in baseball right now,
but one guy in particular, Julio Rodriguez, one for fifteen
in his last four games, zero for eight.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
In the series against Houston.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Can't get a hit. To quote the Lake great Tommy Lesorda,
couldn't hit water if you fel out of an f
and boat.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
That's it. And they're in lies. Why this team is
where they are.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
And I'm seeing a lot of fans outside right now
and side on the sidewalk, and family's coming out here
for the first pitch at one ten, and I'm seeing
a lot of.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Forty four jerseys.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
And man, for a guy who was currently the face
of Seattle sports, it's not just on him. I mean,
look at cal Raley. Yeah you had double last night.
He's not even batting his weight. He's having a horrible
season start to the year, two oh five. You look
at it right now, your second third and clean up
hitter are batting one seventy eight, two oh five and

(06:19):
one point fifty nine.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
I'm surprised this team isn't O twelve.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
If it wasn't for the comeback against the Tigers to
start the season, and then the other night against the
Astros when Polanco bailed them out there, this team could
be one and eleven, oh to twelve, right now, no
further questions, you're honor. The prosecution rests. So there was
time for me to eat some crow.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Now a lot of you on the text line are saying, no, no, no, Mark.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
It's not time for medi crow.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
I'm eating it today because it been seventeen and six
since I went on that rant. They got They got
off to a horrific start that day. They were down
five nothing early against the Astros and Randy rose Arena
let him.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Back, had a slam.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
They won that game, and I was like, okay, even
a broken clock is right twice a day. And they
came back, won that game, and then they won sixteen
of the next twenty two thereafter seventeen and six, and
last night was just unbelievable to watch that game and
watch this team perform at that level, to come back

(07:23):
down in the ninth inning, you know, especially after I
believe it was JP Crawford, he was out there and
I think he struck out in the beginning of the ninth. Yeah,
and then Polanco comes up, draws a walk, Julio singles
a rose Arena gets hit by a pitch and its

(07:44):
bases loaded. Here comes big dumper Cal Riley, two RBI
single Mariners take the lead. They added another on a
sackfly by Dylan Moore, and then Carlos Vargas comes in
for his first career save.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Didn't have to rely on mister Munno's for one night.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Here to eat Crow, Here to do it. You know,
I like to say when I'm right. Well, I'm gonna
say when I'm wrong. So I'm gonna eat crow. I'm
gonna eat crow today, eat a lot of crow, bro
and I want to I want to eat more and
more of it. So I hope this team continues on
this path, not only winning today, when the Blue Jays
come in this weekend, and then the Yankees come in

(08:28):
next week. And please, anybody who's at the Mariner's flagship store,
make sure when you go in there if you see
any Blue Jays gear, any Vlad Guerrero, Junior Jerseys, I'm
gonna go old school Joe Carter, Lloyd Mosby, Jesse Barfield,

(08:48):
George Bell, Jerseys, Dave Steve. You let me know, all right,
because that should never happen, not at the team's flagship store.
And if it took cow and a couple guys to
say something to ownership like WTF and then the fire
Oh okay, we'll pull it. You don't cater to visiting
team fans here. This isn't the World Cup coming in here,

(09:09):
but we're gonna embrace all the nations and all the teams.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Sure, no, no, no, no, no no no. Let me
ask you this. When the Ducks came in here two
years ago and lost that thriller to the Huskies and
Panix when they the missfield goal, did they sell Did
they sell Duck merchandise at the UDUB store at Husky Stadium? No,
they didn't. When the forty nine ers come in or

(09:33):
the Rams come in, are they selling George Kittle jerseys?
Are they selling Matthew Stafford jerseys? Pooka Nakula? No they're not,
So you shouldn't do that when opposing teams are coming
in here. I don't care if it's Toronto. I am
still floored by that. I honestly, I honestly I don't

(09:58):
I could.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
I couldn't believe it, couldn't believe it. Just unfreaking believable.
Just yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Seawald and JP Crawford complained about it two years ago
when Toronto came in. Well, kudos to those guys, thank you.
Freaking unbelievable. I mean that's pathetic. Yeah, imagine being on
Yaki on YACKI Way at Fenway Pack.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
You think they're selling Aaron Judge jerseys? Are you kidding me? No,
they're burning them, They're pissing on them.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
They're not selling Aaron Judge jerseys at Fenway Pack. And
neither are they at Yankee Stadium of Alex Bregman or
Raphael Devers. They're not doing or Garrett Crochet. You don't
do that, like have a spine. And I can't believe
it took two players like Seawald and JP Crawford to

(10:51):
complain for the John Stanton to say, oh, well maybe
we shouldn't do that. Yeah you think so. I mean, dude,
how list do you have to be there? Better not
be this weekend because if there is, you think that
rant was bad on April ninth. I don't care if
they win today and sweep the Blue Jays. There are

(11:11):
any Blue Jays gear being sold at T Mobile Park
now outside vendors, I don't care. They're ones, they're making
their money. It's probably not even licensed merchandise. That I
don't care about. I'm talking about the actual merchandise concession stands,
those at T Mobile Park that should never ever freaking
happen anywhere. Let me ask you this when you when

(11:35):
you go to Pullman for the Apple Cup, are they
selling Jake Browning jerseys Pennicks jerseys there, Christopher.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
That's a great question and the answer is that's a negative.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, you're damn right.

Speaker 5 (11:48):
Yeah, I will see. I used to work at the
Cub and the Bookie. I will lose my job if
I saw any jersey that represented the U of w Okay. Yeah,
gotta be like Chris, today was your last day, and
I'd say, gladly, gladly.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Hey, I got Softy texting me right now, and uh,
Softie's just like then Seawall got traded after he complained
was not wrong, he said, he yeah, SOFTI He's like
this series is always on a weekend, that ownership loves
it it, Softy goes, I've been bitching about it for decades.
Well guess what, Softie, you got me to be bitching

(12:26):
about it with you. It makes Softy sin, It makes
me sick. Well, it makes me sick, and I just
got here. I mean that just like like literally have
a spine. I used to complain, Listen, I'm not going
you know, I only been in three months. I grew
up a lifelong Mets fan. I go into Mets clubhouse
in the city and it wasn't at it wasn't at
City Field. It was in Manhattan, so it was near

(12:48):
Bryant Park or they had one over and you know what,
I forgot on the Upper east Side or whatever. And
that made me say, well, get this Yankees crap. Body
here the hell are you doing?

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Get out of here?

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Seriously, I almost want to rip it up, But then
I know they were called and NYPD. He would, you know,
probably would have been there to arrest me. Get this
out of here.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
Question for you, MJ taking you off? Yeah, taking you
off away from the mariage, getting you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
up a little bit.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
If you're a head coach of a NFL team, would
you consider having your mini camp in a different country?

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Country? I mean what country we're talking about?

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Okay, Brazil? How about Hawaii?

Speaker 2 (13:35):
How about Columbia?

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Because I heard the women there are beautiful.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Well, Sean McVay is having mini camp in Hawaii.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Shut the front door. Really well. By the way, I
don't hate it. You know why, because the Cowboys take over.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
They have their training camp not too far from where
the Rams and Charters are.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
I don't hear you so so I don't.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
I don't hate it.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
I don't think you would hate it anyway right right now.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
No, I's cool. And by the way, they've earned it.
I mean they've earned it. Man, they almost literally they're
the only team legitimately I shot to beat the Eagles.
I just want to throw that out there because I
thought that was pretty cool. Hey, if I'm Stafford Davante,
Adam Spooka, you know, Brandon Fist Cam Kitchens from the U.
If I'm Jared Versu, I'm like coach, I'm loving life

(14:22):
right now. Thank you, thank you very much. But yeah,
better not be selling any Toronto Blue Jays gear this
weekend at all, at at t Mobile Park. That that's
a no no. That is a no no. And I
mean putting it on a weekend. I don't care about that.
But you don't bend over backwards and let you don't

(14:44):
let the visitors take over your own home. They're visitors,
they're the opposition, and you know, are we gonna start.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
You know, what are we gonna do next?

Speaker 1 (14:54):
We start selling Kawhi Leonard Raptors jerseys in the in
the Mariners store too. I mean, let's if you let's
make a feel at home. Let's sell Mitch Marner jerseys.
The Maple Leaves great, Yeah, let's do it. LFG let's go.
Let you know, I mean, come on, man, look what
are we doing here?

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Seriously?

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Tracy McGrady Raptors jerseys, Yeah, not bad him, James Vince
Carter Raptor jerseys A team olajwa. I'm not fad. It
should make you sick. That's just something you don't do.
They don't sell Oregon Ducks or Koog's merch at Husky
Stadium ever ever, they don't. You shouldn't do it on

(15:34):
the professional level. And that you know what that shows.
That shows to me, it's the team who's never been
the World Series. That's what that shows to me. This
is why you've never been the World Series. You're selling
opposing teams merch at your flagship store on game days.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
I mean, that's pathetic. And I heard it wasn't just Toronto.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
I heard in the past they've sold Yankees gear there too, Like,
you gotta be kidding me, man, you know, I mean
maybe I need to Maybe I need to be that
fresh voice in here, that objective perspective to let you
know you got it. It's like Emperor Palpentine in you know,
Star Wars and the Revenge of the Sith. You know,

(16:18):
embrace the hate, let it become of you. You know,
you have to feel that way. Your opponents are your enemies.
They're not your friends, and you shouldn't be selling their
merch at your clubhouse store.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
There's enough.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Mariners merchandise that that can be sold of Julio, you
can sell Ken, Griffy Junior stuff.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
You could sell obviously each your row.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
I mean, you don't need to be selling opposing team's
gear at your flagship store. That should never ever happen,
and it better not happen this weekend, because I swear
to God, Oh, on Sean Taylor's grave, you will hear
from me on Monday. You will hear from me on Monday.
You better not do that totally. By the way, you

(17:06):
can call it a war. It's not a threat. It's
a promise. It's a promise. Yeah, yeah, we'll get to
that coming up next yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
By the way, hey, Chris, you're getting killed. We didn't
know Hawaii. He was in a different country.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
You know, it's in the United States, right, that's fine.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
We'll get to that. I didn't even hit me either.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
I'm like, wait a second, I thought you were saying
they're gonna go to like London or I'm like, so, I'm.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Like, well, Columbia, beautiful women, Brazil, you know, let's go there.

Speaker 1 (17:43):

then some All right, Kert kid, we'll lead us off.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
What do you say? Text of the day.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
Koog Education cooped it again. To be fair to my
own to critique myself, I did just state would you
be cool with taking your team out of the country,
not insinuating that the Rams left? But I understand what
people are saying.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
I just never said that, so it's cool.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
All right? All right? How about this MJ.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
At a Knick's Sonics game, they sold Nate Robinson jerseys
at the game. I also have a lot of jerseys cheap,
knockoff and unlicensed. Quantity over quality. You know what for
the kid that comes back like, here's my thing. I
think it would be tacky. But if the Falcons came
in to play the Seahawks, I wouldn't do it, but

(19:34):
I would under like Petnick's jerseys. I wouldn't do it,
but I could see you could make some money off that.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
You could do half Falcons, half Husky.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Those are I hate those. I hate those are so
those are.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
So well, are so weak?

Speaker 5 (19:50):
Uh? This is from Keith two five three. You can't
wait to see Mark lose his mind when the manner
starts selling poutine, Moulson's and fries and great you get
the concession stands at Team Mobile.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
I love poutine and I there's a place in Fremont.
I went when I was here filling in for Softy
for a week in twenty sixteen, and we went to
this place in Fremont.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
I don't know the name of it. Maybe you can
help me out. That sells.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
That's his great poutine. I forgot the name of it,
but it was awesome.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Magic.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Mike Betton just sent us this. You don't cater to
visiting teams here. This is not the World Cup.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Oh oh he just oh. I love that, Mike.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Oh he he took something I said and he did
like a meme Mark James. If the Mariners plan on
selling Blue Jays merchandise, Wait, Mikey Betton, I love it, bro.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
I'll tweet that right now. That is awesome. Like who
said this? All I did?

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yes, this is not the World Cup. Have some pride,
don't do it. And by the way, seahawkction never sell
Pennicks jerseys. He's with a different team.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Now.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
I know you love him from his time with the Huskies.
I'll tell you what though, Huskies should sell Pennick's Falcons
jerseys at Watski Stadium.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
That would be smart.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Like at Washington at Husky's home games, that would be smart.
And like you know, a Doonsay Bears jerseys, you know
what I mean? And yeah, and Jaylen McMillan Buccaneers jerseys.
That's smart, but you don't sell it at Seahawks games. No,
that's the difference. All right, let me get one here.
Thank you for the comments from Patrick about opposing team

(21:28):
jerseys in the Mariners team store er. This just goes
to show you what Mariners ownership really wants money. They
don't care about championships. Whatever it takes to make more money,
they'll do it. Yep, you're right.

Speaker 5 (21:41):
From our Hi Travis out of the two O six kid,
make sure to bring your passport and check through customs
if you ever go to Hawaii.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Well you got listen.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Now you need to bring your passport if you go
to to Vegas, now you do it. It's if you
don't have that quote real id you gotta you gotta bring.

Speaker 5 (21:59):
I know, I know my passport what two years ago
when I went to Jamaica worked out?

Speaker 4 (22:04):
So yes, Travis, I'll be good to go.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, I know, man, uh yeah, that's great. Mike Benton,
good job. Mike Benton listened to the show. This isn't
the World Cup. Now the World Cup will be here
and I want to see all of them, Brazil, France, Argentina, Poland, Italy,
all of it. Yes, yeah, you know everything there. That's fine.

(22:30):
Four two five. I told yesterday it was true and
Mount Softie blew up this issue previously fu Blue Jays.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
A Mount Softie. I don't blame Softy for being triggered
about that.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Everybody you should be if you're a true Mariners fan,
you all are. You know what sucks about the Mariners
the most when the fans care about the franchise more
than the guys who right the front of the checks
to Julio and Planco and George Kirby and Logan Gilbert.
It sucks when the fans care more than ownership. Does

(23:05):
it really sucks? Doesn't It sucks?

Speaker 5 (23:09):
From the three six to Oho? How about we sall okay?
See jerseys? When the Sonics return.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Right, Yeah, yeah, that'll go over like a fart in church. Sure.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, Hey, Ben says Mark, can you just get the
mayor to just call the Mariners game off the TV
like kg RS New York Vinnie used to do way
back in the day. I don't know who that is,
but I will take it he was a caller.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
This one is from the two five through. The game
is won on the field, not in the team store.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Right, that's true.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
This world is built on free enterprise.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, but you look like you look like complete total
schmucks when you sell opposing team's merchandise. And let me
tell you something.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
You can sell.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
They do sell enough Mariners merch you don't need to
go and sell another team store. So you don't need
to at your flagship store. You just don't do that.
I want to sell Mitch Marner jerseys at the Kraken
store once he signs with them this summer.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
LFG amen to that, Yes, A men to that.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
This is from Marcus out the two six MJ What
is your definition of a star? A top five MVP finish,
a top ten Rookie of the Year, second team All
MLB Silver Sluggers, all before twenty four seems to be
my definition.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
How about someone who can be an All Star in
three street consecutive seasons, not once, and then drop off
and not see it again. You can't. He can't just
be a one hit wonder. Listen, guys, Hey, if I'm
being real, dare I say this? Hey, Mike Betton, stop
the music, Mike Betting, This.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
One's for you.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
If we're gonna look on the numbers of Julio Rodriguez's
back of his card, his baseball card, his statistics, then
you know, Julia rez is, he's the Sam Donald of
major League baseball. Drop the Mike nas Ether Tupac hit
him up.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
I said it.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
He's the Sam Donald of baseball. That's what he is.
He had one great year. Where's the lie? Where's the lie?
There is none? Okay, music again, there you go. There's
another one. If we're judging stats right now on Julio's career,
one great year.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
He's the Sam Donald of major League baseball. He is,
He just is.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
How much I don't like them selling other teams merch?
How does it keep them from competing for a World
Series from the three to six to zero? Let me
tell you something. What do they say every successful ownership ever,
excuse mean every successful company fortune five hundred Radio, iHeart.
We have a great boss, Bob Pittman, and that has

(25:57):
circled down through Mark Linn and Rich Moore. We're only
as good as our bosses. Our bosses are great, so
we're great. Okay, We're great. It's no different in Amazon
with Jeff Bezos. It's no different with Warren Buffett and
Berkshire Hathaway, which he's stepping down from now, and Apple

(26:20):
previously it Steve Jobs now Tim Cook. It all starts
at the top. That's why it matters.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
It matters.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
Mark, Oh, go ahead, Chris, last one for me from
the two five three? Mark, do you think the Warriors
stand a chance to win without steph All?

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Series?

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Playoff Jimmy two words, yes, I do? Playoff f and
Jimmy three words, yes I do. He goes into he
goes into that mode. They can do anything because you
know what, guess who's stepping up now, Buddy Healed.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Buddy Healed is bawling.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
And if Buddy continues to ball and they get pod Jem,
you know Draymond's gonna piss them off up front, and
he's gonna. You know, I think if I'm Minnesota, I
didn't like what I saw from ant Man last night.
I think he'll bounce back, but I want to I
want to use the ant Man Rudy go Bear pair.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
They don't.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
They can't stop go Bear upfront, even Draymond. Draymond can
frustrate them, but they can't stop Go Bear. All they
gotta do is pound the ball and then hopefully Jana
McDaniels and nas Reid hitch shots from the outside. But
I didn't like what I saw last night from ant Man.
From the two five three, Mark, Clearly you don't know
John Stanton. He will sell anything to make a buck.

(27:39):
And uh, he would probably sell his children in a
team store if he can make a dollar, and he
would probably make them wear blue Chase jerseys. All right,
there it is there, It is Uh that that's the
what do you say? Text of the day, Chris? That
deserves another read. Why don't you go ahead and read
that again? Oh?

Speaker 2 (27:58):
If you?

Speaker 1 (27:58):
If you it's I know it's all jump then but
can you see it from the two five to three,
I'll let you read it. All right, Mark, Clearly you
don't know John Stanton. He will sell anything to make
a buck. He would probably sell his children in the
team store if he can make a dollar, and he
probably would make them wear Blue Jay's jerseys.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
That's awesome. That is awesome. I love it.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
So it's official. I don't know if you guys heard this.
You can kill this because I don't want music underneath this.
Ex University of Miami Hurricane Safety Avante Williams is arrested
on a murder charge for allegedly shooting someone six times
Saturday night in Delan, Florida.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Officially, he's been arrested. So there goes a.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Between one to three right here next on MJ in
the midday ninety three three KJR FM. All right, the
mayor of Maple Valley Ian for nett Ian, I just

(29:07):
I want to just say this and I want to
get your thoughts on this.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Hawaii is in our in our country, Yes it is.
We found that out. Yeah, it is in our country. Well,
we found out.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
A text on the text line in paraphrasing here because
I already logged out, said you just don't sell pepsi
in a coke machine. You just don't do it. Why
do the Mariners cater to Blue Jays when they come
in town. They only need it one time, just once. Yeah,
and then I haven't done it since it was a
few years ago.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah. I checked on the other day. Okay, Yeah, you
weren't listening afterwards, I guess no, no, no, no, no, I
don't know. I was listening to you and John Line. No,
this was okay.

Speaker 6 (29:42):
I was listening to you, and I can get the
text from those hang on a second from the person
in the know.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
By the way, John Lunn should give you a royalties
on how much you pimped his podcast.

Speaker 6 (29:54):
Wow, I don't pay him, so it's fine. Let's see,
as Mariner are the Are you guys still selling or
selling Blue Jay stuff in the store? No, only thing
we have is a blue Jay hat. We have all
thirty hats on a large cap wall for every team
in Major League Baseball. That's the only thing we sell.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
I don't hate that.

Speaker 6 (30:14):
He goes, it happened once years ago. Well, this old
blue Jay stuff, it happened once years ago. We haven't
had it since, So it's old news that happened years ago.
But people, I mean, it's a it's a good narrative.
It's like, oh, the mirrors because here's the thing. By
the way, you were invitation go ahead.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
I know we loved and listen, I'm at the top
of the heap.

Speaker 6 (30:35):
I understand we all love to pylon ownership and management
and anything not having to do with the actual baseball team,
which right now right Yeah, And I'm guilty as charged
ten times over. Like I get text on a nearly
daily basis from those guys, you know, and for different things.
This is one that we don't need to criticize them for.
They made a mistake a few years ago. They whether

(30:58):
you want to call it a money grab, whatever to.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
It it is.

Speaker 6 (31:02):
But you know what I think, Chris, what was that
like probably the year after COVID, or was the year
before COVID. I think it was after where it was
like this massive series. It was late in the year
and and it was two thirds Blue Jays fans in
the building that weekend.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
It was crazy.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
Didn't make any sense.

Speaker 6 (31:20):
No, But like I said, you know, buy a ticket.
Like if you're a matter of fan, by agree with
you there. You know, it's like you can't get mad.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Like like last year playoff series first round, the Knicks
took over Philly. Yeah, and they said Oh, we're going
to try to ban them. Oh, don't sell them. No,
your own fans aren't buying tickets. They took over Philadelphia,
this hardcore sports down. Oh, Philly's so tough. And look
what the Knicks took him over. I mean, like your
fans buy tickets.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
You know, lumen Field has been taken over by some
opposing fans the last couple of years being been a
big hot topic here.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Well like Rams, No they don't.

Speaker 6 (31:59):
I mean, like like the real teams that really have
a fanty nine forty nine Ers for sure, Steelers a couple.
I'll still go back to what about Packers. Yeah, then
played I don't know they played Green Bay here for
I don't think they've played here for a while. But
the Steelers game two years ago I think might have
sealed the deal for peatch demise because I know that

(32:20):
the ownership up top was not happy about it feeling
like a Steelers home game, and that had never happened
before in the previous would have been thirteen fourteen years
that he was here, and it was all kind of
joining it. They traveled, but it never happened here before.
Seahawk fans were starting to sell their tickets and other
fans are coming into the building and forever when I

(32:41):
covered the team on the road, I mean I can't
everything lost that game too, right, Oh yeah, yeah, But
for like for fifteen sixteen years when I'm traveling with
these guys mark it was like a neutral site game.
Almost every building we're in across the country. That was
a Seahawk thing. They traveled better than anybody. It was nuts.
And especially during the LB day, I mean it was crazy.
But even after that, like I we'd get on a

(33:03):
flight every Saturday morning to go wherever, and it was
like the whole time, like you can't sleep at seven
am flight Hawks, you know, guys like eighteen drinks in
and you know, we're just like and that's what it was. Yeah,
and that and that had changed and evolved into other
teams doing that here, and you know, people complain and
like I don't like it. I don't, But you know what,

(33:25):
then don't sell your tickets.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah that's right.

Speaker 6 (33:27):
Buy a ticket if it's on the secondary market instead
of having someone from Philly or San Francisco or wherever
Pittsburgh's buy it. But as far as the Blue Jay
is a concern, I think the one thing to always
remember is, you know, we're two and a half hours
from the border, but we're not two and a half
hours from Toronto. But that's Canada's team. That's they have
one team, that's Canada's are and if.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
You live the Montreal expos on walking through that door, folks,
and Andre Dawcion is the Hay Carter company.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
But even then Tim rains.

Speaker 6 (33:57):
Yeah, but keep in mind, even with Montreal was in Quebec,
and most of Canada doesn't like Quebec. They don't like
they don't like the French. So it's like it's and
now it's really funny because there is a you're talking
to somebody who basically grew up spending a lot of
summers north of the border of my family's from up there. Yeah,
there is a massive anti Toronto sentiment in British Columbia,

(34:19):
except for the Blue Jays. It's our team, it's Canada's team.
So it's and so those guys have a chance to
come to that as the closest place to come you
can drive down. It used to be that we would
welcome Canadians and and everything into our country. Maybe that's
changed in the last one hundred and five days, but uh,
it's still something that's a big deal and it's good
for local business. Like I always point that out, like
it like like you look at all those water frons.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
I just I just you don't sell the posing I
don't want to Vlad Guerrero junior jerseys. You can sell
the flagship start now. I did say this, and you
love this. This is this, This is for you Cracking.
I said, are you to sell Mitch Marner leaf jersey
at Climate Plagerina and the guy that Texas goes? Yeah,
hopefully after free agency we will, yeah, he said, part
of the Crack.

Speaker 6 (34:58):
If you know, let's go through the list of guys
we could get sure that was good that Yeah, you
know what I'm in for all them?

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Right, let's do as long.

Speaker 6 (35:09):
As it's black with the little red eye and then
and the.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Well that wear those jerseys. I've seen a scheme that
has a light purple. Is that just an alt all?
I think the light purple might have been a common
thread for black history. Those are fired. Those are awesome.

Speaker 6 (35:27):
Yeah, the guys weird rules like the Crack can do
the common thread jerseys that they they don't even because
of somebody. Those are nice because you've got some people
in our in our world that are still very narrow minded.
I remember Philadelphia had a player a couple of years
ago that refused to wear the Pride jersey and warm
up like that they're gonna auction off. Now you have

(35:48):
to wear your normal jerseys and warm up. They kind
of ruined it for everybody because the common threads that
the crack can do for different things, Indigenous people, history,
bide night, what have you. They're really cool, but they're
just for sale in the team store and they go
to the One Roof Foundation. The one that's really awesome
that they've only worn I think once, and it was
last year, was the jerseys they wore for the outdoor game.

(36:11):
I don't know if you've seen those with the kind
of the light blue with the black stripes. Vaguely they're
vaguely awesome. Okay, they are light, they're blue black. Will
already love the color scheme. They're phenomenal, Like, they're really good.
They didn't wear them last year. I don't know what
the rule is there, but those are really cool.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Well, let me just say this, I think that the
Toronto Blue Jays from a uniform standpoint. I think they
have the best color scheme in baseball.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
We can.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 6 (36:34):
They came into the league the same year the Mariners
came in both expansion teams in seventy seventh, and guess what,
one has had success and the other one has not.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
So we need to change that right year, like we
need to change that the year. Absolutely, they can do it.

Speaker 6 (36:47):
Honestly, they can walk in and do whatever the hell
they want because they curb stomped us and you know, yeah,
we beat them in one playoff series as the best
of three.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Who cares? They've got World Series titles? They do.

Speaker 6 (36:55):
We don't. We haven't been to a I think there's
a have you ever heard of it? Chris called the
World Series?

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Hey, hey, hey.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
It's a weird thing. I didn't play in October. Ian
may he rest in peace. Since we're talking about Blue Jays,
I gotta think about this. And then with Ian Ferness
show is coming next to What Do You Got? We're
gonna check in a Greig Bell for a second time.
I'm Shaquille Griffin at one thirty, and then uh, we'll
do a little hockey with Brent Severn coming up at Tula, okay.
Ricky Henderson was a teammate of John Olruds with the

(37:26):
Mets in the late nineties, and they went Mets went
to the Henc Vicky Rest in peace.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Ricky twenty four. He goes, you know, I used to.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Have a guy in Toronto that wore a helmet at
first base. He said, Ricky, that was me. Oldru says
it wasn't true. Oh, it's true, by the way I
had It's not true. Michael Jordana also says I never
said Republicans by sneakers too.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
He said it. He said it. Sorry, Michael, he said it. Michael.
I love yea MJ. Honestly, he's a real MJ.

Speaker 6 (37:57):
I don't care. I don't care if Ricky said it
or not. I mean, and I love the story. Hol
Root says he didn't. But you know what I'm going
with the story. Story too good a story. I love
you twenty three, You're my idol. But you did say
Republicans buy sneakers too. I still love you, and I
still buy a bunch of Jordan's.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
I don't care. All right, We'll see tomorrow.
