Oh, Happy Friday to you all. Friday, Friday, Friday. People
tend to like Fridays on average, more than they like, let's.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Say, Tuesdays, way more than Tuesday. Yeah, yeah, buckie a
lot more.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I went up this morning and I was like, oh,
I'm tired. I don't want to get out of bed.
And then I went, it's Friday, It's Friday. Popped out
of bed.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I pictured you popping out of bed.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I was even going to be early today.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Just floating to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Yeah, I did.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Basically, I was already I was going to be early,
but then my dog pooped all over the house and
I couldn't leave.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You just fired up for Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
He couldn't hold it. He's too excited about Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, he was fired up for Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah, Bunker, he can't. He can't contain some stuff.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
I don't blame him.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Football Well.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Fridays are sponsored by Tito's Handmade Vodka. Bunker's favorite Tito's
Handmade Vodka is proud sponsor of the Seahawks distilled in

Speaker 1 (01:12):
It is Martini night. Nice little reminder for me. They're Tito's. Yeah,
you see what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
What do you know what album you're gonna listen to tonight?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Christmas?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Yes, a Christmas album?
Speaker 4 (01:22):
I like, like, I just wanted to make sure Bucky
doesn't like it. That's perfectly fancy with a Martini Christmas
tree decorating the Christmas album.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
So dumb, you're like a.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Classic Christmas photo. I can picture it.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, And I have new clothes that I bought that
I'm cracking out tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
So yeah, it's made so much sense. Ature Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I put my tree up before Thanksgiving, but I don't
put decorations on it till now.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Okay, if you want to call it a things, same tree,
but just put hang shoes with buckles on them, and
turkeys and yeah and whatnot.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
They better be all fall colors, no greens and reds.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
And I don't on the tree until after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
You just put a tree up there.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, it's just a winter tree.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Lights lights on it.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yeah, just the lights that came with the tree.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Lights never happy.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Yeah, So anything that could bring joy for you know what,
Every year we have this discussion and I end up saying, okay,
I can see okay for you.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
For me is still wrong.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I need a little extra boost this Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So I'm going, Okay, you got a dog that craps everywhere? Help,
all right, and I've got bad stuff going on. Put
your damn tree.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Thanksgiving last year, so I've earned some extra joy up.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
All right.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Well, let's get started with your eight top stories of
the day, a recap of the week, a preview of
the week, and we provide this service every Friday.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So let's get started.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Your number one story to see you Hawks the talk
of the nation. Their football team coming off their best
performance maybe in years, maybe the best performance this season
we've seen from any football team. Dominant victory over the
Washington Commanders on the road on Sunday night, and people
are wondering, or is they a good Are they as
(03:19):
good as any team in the National Football League? Well,
time to get grounded, Mike boys, yep, time to remind
yourself that this is a game by game process and
a division opponent is in town this on Sunday afternoon
to face the Seahawks. So what are the keys to victory?
Greg Bell reminds.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
Us I think that the defense leads a day here.
I think this is a team, as Hughes said yesterday,
it's about time they start beating back up quarterbacks that
come in here to Seattle and play them. And I
think the defense is rolling too. Even if Ernest Jones
doesn't play, it looks like he might. I think the
defense is rolling enough to dictate this game. I do
think that Jacoby Brisset as well as he played in Dallas,
(04:01):
although any team it looks like can beat Dallas defensively
right now, I think Brissette playing plays right into the
Seahawks strength on defense. The Seahawks have more of a
problem with their pass wresh when it's a Kyler Murray
type escaping quarterback. A pocket passer is trouble going against
Seattle right now, and I think Brissette's going to have
(04:22):
more trouble than a lot of backups of coming in
here to Seattle. I think the defense dominates the game.
That's the way it looks like to me. Defense travels.
Defense plays when it's raining defense plays when your offense
is stumbling and can't run and turn them all over.
Defense wins and McDonald's got them humming on defense right now?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
All right, Greg Bell.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
If you want to hear the entire conversation with Greg,
including injury updates, do so at our podcast ninety three
to three kjar dot com. So yes, headline Jacoby Burssett
starts over Kyler Murray. We've talked about that a lot
this week. Seahawk Injury Updates, Ernest Jones actually trying to play.
I thought a decent point by Greg. I mean, you
can can't overlook Arizona. I mean, I've mapped out how
(05:03):
competitive they've been even in their losses. They've never lost
by more than four points and five losses any of
the five losses, And certainly don't want to look overlook
any opponent in the National Football League. But I sure
do like the idea of Ernest Jones being at perfect
health next week against the Rams.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
I mean, I think you're right. You can't overlook anybody.
I mean literally, anybody you can't overlook. I mean I
don't care. Maybe if you're going up against the Saints
or something, you could overlook a little bit, but a
division fote that's probably true.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yes, somebody has.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Somebody has to lose to him at some point and
has I think one team has already this year.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
But I'm with you.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
I think that it's a situation where it's not the
most dynamic position. I think he is a dynamic player.
I think that he being the kind of captain of
the defense or the guy that's calling the plays. I
think that being the quarterback of that side of the
ball is important to me. It's just a matter of
can you go out there and play without aggravating something
worse tow you're lesser or you maybe missed next week.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I think you do.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
You can make a call on that. And yet they
typically in the NFL just if you're good to go, yep,
you're you go, You're right, you're right about that.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
They did seem to be in this position with Witherspoon
a couple of weeks ago, decided not to play him.
We ended up winning the game, he got the bye week,
got the extra rest, and then the team's been cooking
ever since. So we'll see how Mike McDonald wants to
play it. It probably just does come down to whether
or not Ernest Jones feels good enough to play. Hawk's
a seven point favorite. Sunday kickoff is at one oh five.
(06:32):
We've got a lot more analysis coming your way on
this game, including Hugh Millin at nine o'clock with x's
and o's, and Mike Homeran will join us at nine thirty.
The NFL week started last night Thursday Night Football. The
Broncos and the Raiders. What a great matchup of uniforms.
I'll tell you that's about it. I love those two uniforms. Boy,
that Broncos orange and that Raiders silver and white. Oh
(06:55):
that's sexy.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
I don't like the Raiders new the silver numbers, the
black numbers.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I agree with you. I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
It's organ like.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
I agree, Bucky.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I don't think that's anything that it looks like.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Actually, you can almost always got the reference to be
too cute.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
No, not even close.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
You guys try to follow suit, but you're not doing
a very good job of it. I just it's hard
to see him kind of they you know, it's basically
the black outline.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
You see the silver kind of blends in. But I
am with you.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Silver and black is timeless, traditional uniform and luckily the
one of the ugliest games of the year in my team.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Somehow traditional game.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, I mean, the uniforms were pretty and that was
about it because the play.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Was you g l y it ain't got no alibi.
Speaker 9 (07:42):
Second of goal at the seven yard line for Denver,
trailing seven nothing, late first half.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Nick's free thing in to change place.
Speaker 9 (07:49):
They'll send Harvey out wide left, Chuck un snap on
the left, Hash back pedals to throw, steps up in
the pocket, throws to the goal line.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
In his top It's a touchdown right in the middle.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
The insone.
Speaker 9 (08:01):
He finds Troy Franklin seven yard score, the fifth of
the year for Franklin, and the Proncos are an extra
point away from tying it up.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, a couple of ducks feeling good about that. I
guess I like that.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
There was like a little clip in there and it
sounded like he called it a chicken snap instead of
a shotgun snap, and that made me last.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Thanks to Kevin Coogler, Ryan Harris Westwood won for the
audio proof that somebody scored a touchdown last night.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
In that game, the.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Broncos had more penalties than first downs last night. They
went three and out on seven of their thirteen possessions,
but a block punt set up Denver for the game
winning field goal in the fourth quarter and they went
ten to seven.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I don't know who.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
That crew was, but I was expecting you to come
in here and say that was a horrible crew, or
this is a crew that flows. Was a lot of
flags horrible. It was literally, I mean when the broadcast
is saying the entire second half, let but there's another flag.
Probably could have said that before the snap. There was
tons of flag. Now part of it is up doing
things that are penalties, stop committing fouls, and yet they
(09:05):
couldn't figure out a way to do that. But that
does lead into now you're behind the change. It was
ugly all the way around. When they would start to roll,
Peyton called some weird little backwards pass to Court and
Sutton that they were gonna double pass, Like, just run it.
They're the Raiders, they suck. Just run the ball and
go win the game. No, no, it's try bows off.
(09:26):
He's almost seems like he's got the yips to some degree,
like he's like just missing. There's all kinds of things
that I didn't like about that game.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But they won. They won.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
They keep winning. They won seven straight games. They're the
first team in the league to eight wins. Meanwhile, Pete
and Gino fell to two and seven in their first
year as the Raiders.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
They're not good.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
They're not good. They are not good.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And that starts the week. It's gonna be a pretty
fun week, pretty exciting week. It's next game Sunday morning,
six thirty, and that's one worth getting up for. Atlanta
Indianapolis is a pretty good matchup from Berlin. Then the
New England Tampa Bay early game. That's fantastic. Rams in
San Francisco are playing the afternoon game on the other
(10:08):
side of US, and then the Sunday night game will
be Pittsburgh and the Chargers. So a pretty good weekend
of football for you in the National Football League. What
about College football Week eleven kicks off tomorrow and the
biggest game. I don't know if you would have circled
this at the beginning of the year of being one
of the biggest games of the year. But now that
the college football playoff rankings are out, the very first
(10:31):
week of college football playoff rankings, we can see that
undefeated BYU is number seven in America and then one lost.
Texas Tech is number eight in America and they are
going to meet up this Saturday in Lubbock, Texas, where
the Red Raiders are a ten point favorite. Vegas still
doesn't think BYU's real, does Rick Neuheisel.
Speaker 10 (10:52):
This will be a very big test. They're a ten
and a half point underdog to Texas Tech this weekend.
Texas Tech is the number one offense and the number
one defense in the Big Twelve. They're well resourced with
the guys from Double Eagle Energy, Cody Campbell and John Sellers.
They're putting up a lot of money. They were the
number one team in the Transfer Portal in terms of
(11:13):
purchasing talent.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
That's not to knock them.
Speaker 10 (11:16):
That's just a kind of a baseline as to how
they've done it. But by you going in there with
this young quarterback Bear Bachmeier is going to be a
fun game. And given what I've watched BYU do over
the course of the game, they find themselves in it late.
I'd take the ten and a half points.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Ashley did.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Did?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I think it was only ten when I got it,
But I'm still comfortable with that.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, Yeah, a double digit win. That's what Vegas is
predicting for Texas Tech over the constantly overlooked BYU Cougar's
that's going to be a fun game. But there are
others number three Texas A and M at number twenty
two Mazoo LSU trying to rally around, you know, their
new head coach. They'll be at number four Alabama. And
is there any chance that Navy can upset Notre Dame?
(12:04):
Not looking like it, but nonetheless that's a one lost
Navy at number ten Notre Dame, a full Big ten conference.
A weekend preview coming your way at eight forty five
this morning here on Chuck and Bucking.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
By the way, the Koogs are on by The Huskies
are in Madison, Wisconsin taking on the Badgers.
Speaker 11 (12:22):
The honey badger has been referred to by the Guinness
Booker World Records as the most fearless animal in all
the animal kingdom. It really doesn't give a shot. If
it's hungry. It's hungry. Yeah, what's that in its mouth?
Oh it's got a cobra. Oh it runs backwards. I'll
watch this. Look a snake's up in the tree. Honey
badger don't care honey badger.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Don't give a shit.
Speaker 11 (12:40):
It just takes what it wants whenever it's hungry. It's
just ih And it eats snakes. Oh my god, watch
it dig Look at that digging. The honey badger is
really pretty badass. They have no regard for any other
animal whatsoever. Looking it's just grunting and ill eating snakes.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Now, what's that of mouse? Oh that's nasty. Oh they're
so nasty. Great analysis of the Badgers.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
There way to break down Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
There's nothing left for the Honks to break down after that,
but they will try nine to thirty from Madison for
a one thirty kickoff on.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Saturday, the twenty third ranked.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Washington Huskies will be at two and six Wisconsin Husky's
coming off of by Badgers or zero to five and
Big ten play. And get this, they rank one hundred
and thirty fifth in college football and offense. Strange part
about that there are only one hundred and thirty teams.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Oh that's not good.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Then that's terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah, and Wisconsin maybe starting their third different quarterback this year,
a true freshman, Luke Fickle. And meantime, the head coach
has been given a vote of confidence he will be
back next year.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But I just never thought we'd see Wisconsin be this bad.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Well yeah, I mean they've been outscored ninety two to
seven the last three weeks, So idea, you're probably feeling
pretty good flying across country, time change, big ten travel,
whatever that is. This is a game that Washington just
got ranked. You got to go in there and obviously win,
but you got to go in there and win decisively.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And what they're saying in Madison is that they're just
not financially supported in this new nil era. They're just
the boosters aren't stepping up and it's not important enough
for them to be excellent at college.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Football, which is fine.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I think that's surprising though, because I feel like it's
so big a big deal there.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
But it really is when you think back to BYU
and Texas Tech and the money that's flooding in for
both of those programs. In Texas Tech because of money
came in overnight success and look out for BYU in
the future. The church likes to win stuff, so they're
going to spend a lot of money on their product,
where in Wisconsin they've just decided they're boosters. They're CEOs
(14:45):
and all invest in cheese. Yeah we're yeah, we're more
interested in having great cheese over great football teams.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So kick off at one thirty.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Ride here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KHRFM. Meanwhile,
the Huskies basketball team played last night against Denver and
improved it too and zero.
Speaker 12 (15:02):
Grab By Peterson wrap around, passed the saving and bounds.

Speaker 12 (15:22):
The glass and grab by man to quit. Three on
two outlet left to Peterson for three. Full tide for

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Tony castrack Cone and jam on the call eighty four
to seventy the final score right here on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ RFM. Freshman Hans Steinbach thirteen
points and sixteen of the team's thirty seven rebounds last night.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
That's a freshman. That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, it's a nice little pickup there. Sprinkle, Yeah, nice
ye have Sprinkle. I thought you were calling me Sprinkle
thirty second.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I thought I got a new nickname and I remember
dead name. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Uh. Season zero is over for the Dogs and for
Danny Sprinkle as they will be at Baylor Sunday at
five thirty. One of the better programs in college basketball
today first weekend of the college basketball season. Koogs will
be at Davidson The Fighting Steph Curry's tonight at four
(16:18):
o'clock and then tomorrow night Zag's hosting Oklahoma at seven thirty.
So some good college basketball this weekend for all the locals.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Yeah, you get to have good stuff on your TV
while you sif your martinis with your Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
It's going to be wonderful. Yeah, this really does feel
like Christmas.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
It does.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Sounders will be in action tomorrow at.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
One, not Sunday, that's stupid. They'll be taking on Minnesota United.
It is match number three of a three match series
in the first round of the MLS Playoffs. The Sounders
lost with a lackluster shootout performance and match one. They
responded with a four to two blowout in match number two.
Will Minnesota United now Stratiga counter what the Sounders did
(17:03):
to we erupt for four runs against a very conservative team.
Ryan Schmitzer has been wondering that himself. I really don't know.
Speaker 10 (17:11):
I mean, he said in the press, Eric Ramsey's a
good guy, nice guy like him.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
He's good coach. He says, you know, we are who
we are. But after he took four and he.
Speaker 10 (17:23):
Allowed us to get on top of him with that
type of intensity, he's going to have to come out
a little bit more, at least at least that's what
I think.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I don't question Matt scientists at all. His tactics work.
I'm impressed with your tactics, tactics, But that's throwing a
little shade right there. That's him saying, we just stomped
you trying to play that way? Can you play another way?
Speaker 13 (17:45):
Really?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Is there another way that you can play?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Because it looks like we've solved your chess game.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, well it did.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Early I was getting ready to send to Jackson a
text and it just looks like a weekend of but
woo woopmans for c attle teams, and then bang bang
they came back and almost tied it up.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Now they pulled away and ended up doing it.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
I hope it works again, I hope that he can
figure out a way. It does feel like you go
with the mad scientists whenever you're in doubt.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I do, I for sure do. And by the way,
Jackson toone, he blocked you, so I don't anyway, And
I don't know his numbers.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
That three game threes tomorrow in the MLS and one
actually tonight. So if you're putting up your Christmas tree
tonight like most people, who most people, you can watch
a little soccer in the background if you'd like. Yeah,
but the Sounders in Minnesota will play tomorrow at one
o'clock out at Minnesota. Major League Baseball off season. Yeah,
(18:42):
free agency is officially underway. Not only have players declared
this week, teams can now start signing Major League Baseball players.
We've already seen a signing and it's a familiar name,
Leoti Tavares.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
There's your trivia question.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
The first free agent to sign this offseason now a
former Mariner. He signed with the Baltimore Orioles yesterday. But
now that we're underway, my goodness, let's heat up the stove.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Stove, stove.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
What a kind of name is that.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
That's a great name, that's a perfect name, but it's
all about the Mariner's nay role here in Seattle, and
it hadn't been sounding good based on a few different
little comments. But Justin Hollander totally redeemed himself yesterday and
said that we are on course. He is our priority
and they certainly have the funds to bring Josh Naylor back.
(19:38):
Maybe he takes up all the off season funds. I
don't know, but I think it is sounding good that
he'll be in a Mariner uniform.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Just not great. Yeah, well, I.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Want it to be great, and I want it to
be done. I mean, I was part of me, it
was having a hard time getting over the fact that
deary and Justin let Leo de Tavares go. I mean,
I don't know what we're gonna do now. Willie's a
lot cheap ownership.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Remember at one point thought that maybe that was going
to be the only addition that they made.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
We'll probably bring the lost.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Him, no, no, no, no, no, but yes, bring Naylor back.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Please.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
I mean, I I'll put up a Christmas tree tomorrow,
Josh Naylor tree. If we get this thing done.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
All right, let's do it, Mariners, come on, let's put the.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Cart before the horse here, put it up now, and
then you'll be ruling no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Christmas with surely no. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
I'll celebrate Thanksgiving in the Josh Naylor kind of way.
I like celebrating Thanksgiving with my Christmas tree.
Speaker 13 (20:30):
Now.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yeah, that's the best way. It gives your house extra festiveness.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Uh crack.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
It will be an action tomorrow in Saint Louis against
the Blues. They'll drop the puck at four point thirty

radio program, if not of mine.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Dustin Nickerson joins us on.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFF, great friend of
the program and personal friends of Ashley Ryan and Bucky Jacobson.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I would think mostly just me. I mean, I think
it's just me. I'm the only one that went to
a show that's true. Maybe best friends with Buck.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Yeah, oh yeah. None of the Ashley, none of my
other fans have kids that had sporting. I've only built
a whole career off of being a volleyball dad.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Ye, we talked about it.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
You were going to volleyball, Yeah, a tournament all day yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
Every once in a while people will point out the
logic fail. They're like, you just you talk about how
you're like at these volleyball tournaments all the day, but
we see your calendar. You work saturdays on the road.
I'm pretty sure your wife is at those tournaments. I've
been to a few. Let's not get all nitpicky. I'm
paying for him.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
He's right here in studio. So you're back in Seeattle.
Speaker 2 (21:57):

I'm opening for a much more successful comedian. I know,
I got.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Deemed an up and commer. I think this one has arrived.
I kept that radio friendly. I was trying to figure
out how to take an up and comer and put
it in in current tents. I think arrived is the
cleanest way we could say that.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
That he I'm opening for. Yeah, exactly, there you go.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
I'm opening for nay Burghetsi this weekend here and we
were Tacoma on Wednesday and the venue formerly noticed Kiirina
Climate Pedge Pledge, Pedge Pledge. It's early last night tonight,
and then we're in Portland tomorrow, so yeah, it's it's
silly the last time I was in the Tacoma Dome,
(22:46):
I was graduating high school. So I like walked on
the stage like have you been here? I was like
have I been here?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Yeah, baby, And I was like, you.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Have been frequenting the yearly Monster druve No.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
No.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
I was funny walking in and I was like, you know,
I walked on stage and I was thinking, like, well, we're,
you know, to my valedictorian Decatur High School two thousand
and three. Who's got the mic? Now, Desiree, I'm on stage.
They got to listen to me for eight minutes and
not some crappy speech about the bird leaving the nest
or whatever.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
So yeah, you told desire then yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
Yeah, And she's like who And I'm like, I cheated
on your biology to get through.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
I'm so, I'm so stupid.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
But yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
So I'm in town open for Nate and uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I was just, yeah, let's talk about your cool friend Nate. Yeah. Uh,
how where did the relationship start? You guys have known
each other for a while?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
Then, yeah, I met Nate like seven, eight years ago
something like that. Twenty seventeen, his half an hour special
on Netflix came out so he at the time was
like kind of like I wouldn't say medaling, like he
was like established but not. He wasn't selling a ton
(23:59):
of ticks or anything. It just shows how happy fast
it can happen for some comics like he. I when
I met him, we were just I met him on
the road in Nashville where he lives.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Nashville.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
I was just doing a spot at saying he's comedy
club out there, and we connected and and he looks
you look for people that you kind of naturally connect
and maybe do similar You want openers who do who
work kind of the same brand as you, but talk
about different things than you. So, uh, you know, we
were kind of a natural fit. And then my my
(24:29):
Nate story is I remember, you know, Nate, golf's a lot,
and I I'm not. I don't have that kind of money.
I don't have golf money. I didn't, right, didn't. It
wasn't raised on golf. And I was like, okay, but
a lot of people around me do golf, so I
should learn how to do this a little bit. I
had golfed a couple of times, and uh, we were
(24:50):
in Spokane dit Spokane Comedy Club with him, and he
took us out to a course in Ida called Circling Raven,
very nice course, and I'm like, it's pretty nervous, becau.
It's almost like an audition to to like, hey, am
I going to work with this guy for a while
and get thousands and thousands of dollars over the next
decade of my career. And We're on like the driving
(25:12):
range and I'm very nervous. I like, am missing the
ball on the driving range, nervous, Like they're looking at
me like usually you don't have to replace divots on
the driving range, on the mat on the I'm missing
the ball and I was like, this is yeah exactly,
(25:33):
It's like a mirror and they and Nate's not even
looking at me, thankfully. And then we go to like
the putting green. I remember I miss a ten footer
buy ten feet like I'm and I was like, this
is I'm gonna get fired first hole.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Like He's like, you said you knew how to do this.
I always say this.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
I'm like, if I if I can golf in two digits,
it's a decent round for me.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
So it's a good round.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
Now I'm underplaying myself, but I and then out of
out of just this pure divine god looking out for me, miracle.
The first I'm so nervous, like shaking it like this
is gonna be which is not good in golf. First hole,
I put it right in the middle of the green.
Second one, I now get ten feet within the hole.
I birdie the first hole. What I'm missing the ball
(26:21):
on the driving range. And now I realize, oh no,
I better not play too well or I'm going to
get fired for that reason. So now I have eighteen
holes of sandbagging myself, okay.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
And I'll be a climate pledge with him tonight.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
So there you go. That's great. I can't wait. Yeah,
I think that the there's.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
A connection because I love the way that both of
you take like normal stuff that everybody goes through, and
you both have very like unique comedic ways of spinning
that and telling that story.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah, but he tells.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
And and and and and and you and our experience
with you. You tell like the like mundane things, talk about mundane.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Things that everybody goes through.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
But it's like, how did you see that right right
string of comedy?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, situation that we've all been through it that's very.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
Kind of you to say, I mean Nate in particular,
I mean if you were like, when you tell a
Rodney Dangerfield joke, you know, it reads like a joke.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
My wife have sex in the car she wants me
to drive.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
It reads like a joke. You're like, you read you
read that, like that's when you read a transcript of
Nate's jokes. They're not even funny. You ever try and
repeat a Nate joke, They're not funny. They're like, you
just you sound stupid, and you're like, well, yeah, but
that's kind of the appeal of him. And people say,
you know, with him in particular, like oh gosh, you
(27:49):
just make it look so easy.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
They do not say that with me. They're like, that
looks like a lot of work.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I see.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
You guys are very similar because I think there's a
dryness to it. That is where you can just be
talking about something and it does fall flat without the
comedic timing and the way in which you pros are
able to do it. Because I've told Nate jokes before,
trying to tell people about him, and all of a
sudden I try to replay one, it doesn't sound good.
I did the same thing with you and my buddies
(28:19):
are like, yeah, I guess I'll have to give it
a Google.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Look him up.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
The That was a funny show at the Neptune because
Bucky and five Rascal friends were joining you, and I
was kind of waiting for him to text, like, hey,
we made it, as I think, I said, text me
when you're in the building, the tour manager will come
grab you.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
And bring you backstage and stuff.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
And then Bucky just emerged backstage, very out of breath.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
Yeah, well you didn't tell me you were in the
top of the castle.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
I didn't have a chance because you didn't tell me
you were there. You were just like Wayne's World, flashing
your pass or were you like, yeah, where do I
Where does this take me?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Kevin? Yeah, I saw Kevin.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
I said, Kevin, I'm supposed to go behind that red
velvet curtain.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
I don't even know Kevin is.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, all players know how to pass, no.
Speaker 8 (29:14):
Kidding, Yeah, like they're supposed to be there, he was.
I think he's ready to go on stage. I think
he's like, I think I'm doing a guest set after
the host.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
I believe after those stairs. Those aren't even stairs, that's
more like a ladder.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
Yeah, well, the the Neptune there in the U District,
which you know, I walked and busted by for years.
Uh not four years, two years community college transfer out
of here. Uh and uh everyone was like, oh man,
did you just like dream of playing here like it
was a movie theater when I wasn't even a venue
that did comedy, which means it has not been it's not. Uh,
(29:50):
it was never meant for people to go upstairs that often.
So in your defense, it wasn't built for that.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, Rapunzel just left that let down or exactly. Yeah,
that was a lot easier back in the Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
All right, So we haven't talked to.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
You on the air anyway about the Mariners season coming
to a close. You've had plenty of time to grieve.
How's that process been like for you?
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (30:14):
I think, you know, I've talked about it a little
on stage I did that night it ended up turning
into a group therapy session. Yeah, yeah, and I think
I think other than the Sonics joke, everybody liked all
of it, and I you know, it was I mean,
the funniest part about it all was, you know, I
(30:34):
planned that show on October. I think I'm gonna have
told you guys this in the studio October twenty fifth,
and I had people messaging me during the run like dude,
what in the world it's the World Series and aren't
you a Mariners fan? And then it hit me. I
was like, dude, I'm the most Mariners fan because it
never occurred to me, not one chance. And I was like, dude,
(30:56):
late October, there might be a conflict. And because my
birthday is October twenty fourth and the Mariners have never
played a baseball game on my birthday, and I was like,
there's just zero chance. And then there was a bit
of a chance. And I think that shows how much
of a Mariners fan. I had financial incentive for the
Mariners not to make the World Series, like ticket sales
(31:18):
went way up when they have. I have, thanks to
you guys and some online stuff. I've carved out a
nice little fan group of Northwest sports fans, and ticket
sales went way up when they they lost, and I
was still sad.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Yeah, good, yeah, made yeah exactly.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
I did go to the Illinois game, the Husk the
Illinois at Washington.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
That was fun.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
That was a surreal moment because I think maybe even
how I got on your radar was a joke I
did about the Ducks in Eugene where I said, uh,
I said this in Eugene where I saw the Phil
Knight where he said, I, you know, I'm just put
every resource I can to making sure the Ducks win.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
A national championship before I die.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
And that was a real heat check for like, oh
my gosh, I mean, am I a monster? Do I
want this guy to die before they win a national championship?
Then it hit me, He's like, no, I don't want that.
I want him to live forever and then never win
a national championship.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
That's what I want.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
And I didn't know that joke really made the rounds
at the athletic department at you dub so they're like, hey,
do you reach out? Do you want some tickets? I
was like, of course. They're like, hey, do you want
to sound the siren? I was like, I'm the most
pathetic alum in the hit. I'm a two point eight
graduate here with the International studies degree who was only
here two years and only got here because I got
(32:43):
a community college degree. And they're like, do you want
to meet dubs? And I got in trouble with Dubbs
because they I got you pet Dub's chest and they're like,
you're not allowed to do that, and I was like, okay,
well maybe if it was Joel McHale I could. But
and then you're supposed to do scratches by yeah exactly, Yeah,
they just work. But then they're like, do you want
(33:06):
to go up to Pat Chun's the athletic director suite
And I was like, I mean, obviously, and he was like, dude,
I love the organ joke. Very surreal for me, and
I want to be like, hey, can you extend fish already?
But you got to be you got to be professional
in that environment. And I'm like, thanks for the chicken tenders.
(33:28):
I didn't belong in that suite, by the way, and
the reason is because it was raining, and you know,
there's like the the well to do that. You know,
these are like the high they're whining and dining and
me and my friend are and Ponchos actually in the
seats in front of the suite and they're like, wow,
you're like really committed. It's like, hey, I'm a fan
of the team. I don't want to watch this behind glass.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Pointed Un say you can rub my chest if you
will pay for a safety around.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
He didn't.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
He said it with his eyes, you know, And that
was a That was the funny thing is that I
told my friend who I went with, Tristan. I was like, Oh,
do they think I have like money?
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Huh am I being wined and dying right now because I.
Speaker 8 (34:12):
Can share some Instagram stuff and I can help the
department get a few followers.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
I can't. At best.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
I might be able to get you a volleyball player
maybe if it's a good year.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
Yeah, no, Libro, and it would.
Speaker 8 (34:30):
And I'll be particularly incentivized if it's two years from
now and it's my volleyball player whose grades are also
not getting her in here. So we'll see where I'm
in two years. Maybe I can get some of that.
I need some nepotism benefits.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
All right, man, Well, great to see you shows tonight, and.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Yeah, you promote my shows.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
I'm gonna be back in March Everett Historical Theater March nineteenth.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
Ashley said she might be there.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
I'm going to be there. And then as.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Aball tournament, I'll just skip it and send my.
Speaker 5 (35:06):

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Great to see you, man, Thanks for coming in. We
appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Thanks for having me the hilarious Dustin Nickerson joining us
writ here on Chuck and Buck. We'll preview the Big
Ten weekend next on kJ R. All right, we intentionally
went a little late with Dustin Nickerson. He came all
the way in here. Michael, we're gonna go at least
fifteen minutes. Yeah, with the comedian, our friend. So thanks
to Dustin for coming in. And yeah, you go check
(35:48):
him out whenever you get the opportunity. All right, Hugh
mellon X's and I was coming up at nine o'clock.
But we always use this little window to preview the
Big Ten college football weekend.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
It starts tonight.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
USC Rojins nineteenth ranked in America hosting Northwesterns having a
pretty good year this year. Six o'clock kickoff not a
bad game for a Friday night in the Big Ten.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
And then tomorrow nine am.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Number two ranked Indiana will be at Penn State against
the Nitney Lions, still seeking their first Big.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Ten win of the year. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Ohio State, ranked number one in America, will be at Purdue,
probably beating the boiler Makers by a thousand.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Maryland will be at Rutgers.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Kickoff there is at eleven thirty Oregon nine versus number
twenty Iowa.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
This is the game of the week in the Big Ten.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
It will be at twelve thirty tomorrow from Kinnick Stadium
in Iowa City. Of course, the Huskies will be at
Wisconsin at one point thirty. We've been talking about that
all week long as the Dogs come off the bye.
And then the night game, the only night game, six o'clock.
It will be Nebraska without Damon Raioli he's out with
an injury for the rest of the year at UCLA
(36:56):
to take on the fighting Jerry Newheisels at six pm.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
So there is your.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Big Ten schedule for the weekend. Our Big Ten pickups
are also made in this segment. We do a Big
Ten Fantasy league for a Green jacket. Chris Kidd is
leading away with seven hundred and sixteen points. Boy, and
he have a pick from Heaven last week. Jordan Marshall
filling in for Justin Haynes. I don't think he knew
that he was filling in for Justin Haynes. Justice Haynes
(37:21):
and he forty two fantasy points.
Speaker 6 (37:23):
Yeah, they couldn't know that he was filling in for
him because I was trying to find out if he
was going to play or not, because he's on my
team and he doesn't play and his guy goes off.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Oh, it's frustrating, isn't it? College coaches keeping their secrets.
Number two Ashley seven hundred and three points, just thirteen
back of Kid. She jumped back into second place because
she had the best week of all of us last week.
Bucky is in third with six sixty five. He had
a rough week because he had two guys sit out
and he didn't know that they were hurt.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
And it's not his fault. Believe me.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I had Darius Taylor on my roster for most of
the season and I'm sitting there with six point fifty one.
We all had great pickups last week. Chance to make
pickups again this week you can only pick up one person,
but you do have to drop someone. Kid has the
first pick again and he's picking up k Tron Allen,
the Penn State running back and dropping Jordan Marshall.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
So get forty two points out of him and then just.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Drop, just drop him like yesterday's garbage.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, and Illinois are all on by,
and since I don't have anybody on by, I'm going
to stick with my team and get the number.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
One pick away from Kid next week. So I'm going
to pass this week, so it's on me.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
Then, yeah, I am going to drop Justice Haynes because
I don't know if he's going to be hurt and
they're on by, so no more zero. Still have no
idea Elijah Zat's going to be healthy enough to play,
but it's time.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I now know who the lead back is. He is healthy.
Noah Whittington, Oregon.
Speaker 6 (38:50):
I'm riding that pony all the way to the championship
the rest of this year.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
All right, nice, nice bold prediction. Right there, Noah Whittington
running back or again is picked up by Bucky. Justice
Haynes has dropped, all right, Ashley, You've got to decide
between your guy. Yeah, I know whether you're gonna live
with a zero and we'll get rid of Luke Altmeyer.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Can't live with a zero. I can't live with the zero.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
I live with them, and you can't live without them.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
I was hoping to be able to drop Hunter, but
I can't do it this week. So I am going
to drop Altmeyer and I am going to pick up
Jaden Mayama.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Okay, oh, well, you got somebody to watch tonight. Yep
usc is a quarterback taken on Northwestern.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
All right, there you go.

lot more.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I went up this morning and I was like, oh,
I'm tired. I don't want to get out of bed.
And then I went, it's Friday, It's Friday. Popped out
of bed.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I pictured you popping out of bed.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I was even going to be early today.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Just floating to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Yeah, I did.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Basically, I was already I was going to be early,
but then my dog pooped all over the house and
I couldn't leave.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You just fired up for Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
He couldn't hold it. He's too excited about Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, he was fired up for Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah, Bunker, he can't. He can't contain some stuff.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
I don't blame him.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Football Well.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Christmas?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Yes, a Christmas album?
Speaker 4 (01:22):
I like, like, I just wanted to make sure Bucky
doesn't like it. That's perfectly fancy with a Martini Christmas
tree decorating the Christmas album.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
So dumb, you're like a.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Classic Christmas photo. I can picture it.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, And I have new clothes that I bought that
I'm cracking out tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
So yeah, it's made so much sense. Ature Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I put my tree up before Thanksgiving, but I don't
put decorations on it till now.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Okay, if you want to call it a things, same tree,
but just put hang shoes with buckles on them, and
turkeys and yeah and whatnot.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
They better be all fall colors, no greens and reds.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
And I don't on the tree until after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
You just put a tree up there.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, it's just a winter tree.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Lights lights on it.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yeah, just the lights that came with the tree.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Lights never happy.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Yeah, So anything that could bring joy for you know what,
Every year we have this discussion and I end up saying, okay,
I can see okay for you.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
For me is still wrong.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I need a little extra boost this Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So I'm going, Okay, you got a dog that craps everywhere? Help,
all right, and I've got bad stuff going on. Put
your damn tree.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Thanksgiving last year, so I've earned some extra joy up.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
All right.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Well, let's get started with your eight top stories of
the day, a recap of the week, a preview of
the week, and we provide this service every Friday.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So let's get started.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Your number one story to see you Hawks the talk
of the nation. Their football team coming off their best
performance maybe in years, maybe the best performance this season
we've seen from any football team. Dominant victory over the
Washington Commanders on the road on Sunday night, and people
are wondering, or is they a good Are they as
(03:19):
good as any team in the National Football League? Well,
time to get grounded, Mike boys, yep, time to remind
yourself that this is a game by game process and
a division opponent is in town this on Sunday afternoon
to face the Seahawks. So what are the keys to victory?
Greg Bell reminds.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
Us I think that the defense leads a day here.
I think this is a team, as Hughes said yesterday,
it's about time they start beating back up quarterbacks that
come in here to Seattle and play them. And I
think the defense is rolling too. Even if Ernest Jones
doesn't play, it looks like he might. I think the
defense is rolling enough to dictate this game. I do
think that Jacoby Brisset as well as he played in Dallas,
(04:01):
although any team it looks like can beat Dallas defensively
right now, I think Brissette playing plays right into the
Seahawks strength on defense. The Seahawks have more of a
problem with their pass wresh when it's a Kyler Murray
type escaping quarterback. A pocket passer is trouble going against
Seattle right now, and I think Brissette's going to have
(04:22):
more trouble than a lot of backups of coming in
here to Seattle. I think the defense dominates the game.
That's the way it looks like to me. Defense travels.
Defense plays when it's raining defense plays when your offense
is stumbling and can't run and turn them all over.
Defense wins and McDonald's got them humming on defense right now?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
All right, Greg Bell.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
If you want to hear the entire conversation with Greg,
including injury updates, do so at our podcast ninety three
to three kjar dot com. So yes, headline Jacoby Burssett
starts over Kyler Murray. We've talked about that a lot
this week. Seahawk Injury Updates, Ernest Jones actually trying to play.
I thought a decent point by Greg. I mean, you
can can't overlook Arizona. I mean, I've mapped out how
(05:03):
competitive they've been even in their losses. They've never lost
by more than four points and five losses any of
the five losses, And certainly don't want to look overlook
any opponent in the National Football League. But I sure
do like the idea of Ernest Jones being at perfect
health next week against the Rams.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
I mean, I think you're right. You can't overlook anybody.
I mean literally, anybody you can't overlook. I mean I
don't care. Maybe if you're going up against the Saints
or something, you could overlook a little bit, but a
division fote that's probably true.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yes, somebody has.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Somebody has to lose to him at some point and
has I think one team has already this year.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
But I'm with you.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
I think that it's a situation where it's not the
most dynamic position. I think he is a dynamic player.
I think that he being the kind of captain of
the defense or the guy that's calling the plays. I
think that being the quarterback of that side of the
ball is important to me. It's just a matter of
can you go out there and play without aggravating something
worse tow you're lesser or you maybe missed next week.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I think you do.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
You can make a call on that. And yet they
typically in the NFL just if you're good to go, yep,
you're you go, You're right, you're right about that.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
They did seem to be in this position with Witherspoon
a couple of weeks ago, decided not to play him.
We ended up winning the game, he got the bye week,
got the extra rest, and then the team's been cooking
ever since. So we'll see how Mike McDonald wants to
play it. It probably just does come down to whether
or not Ernest Jones feels good enough to play. Hawk's
a seven point favorite. Sunday kickoff is at one oh five.
(06:32):
We've got a lot more analysis coming your way on
this game, including Hugh Millin at nine o'clock with x's
and o's, and Mike Homeran will join us at nine thirty.
The NFL week started last night Thursday Night Football. The
Broncos and the Raiders. What a great matchup of uniforms.
I'll tell you that's about it. I love those two uniforms. Boy,
that Broncos orange and that Raiders silver and white. Oh
(06:55):
that's sexy.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
I don't like the Raiders new the silver numbers, the
black numbers.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I agree with you. I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
It's organ like.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
I agree, Bucky.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I don't think that's anything that it looks like.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Actually, you can almost always got the reference to be
too cute.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
No, not even close.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
You guys try to follow suit, but you're not doing
a very good job of it. I just it's hard
to see him kind of they you know, it's basically
the black outline.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
You see the silver kind of blends in. But I
am with you.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Silver and black is timeless, traditional uniform and luckily the
one of the ugliest games of the year in my team.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Somehow traditional game.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, I mean, the uniforms were pretty and that was
about it because the play.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Was you g l y it ain't got no alibi.
Speaker 9 (07:42):
Second of goal at the seven yard line for Denver,
trailing seven nothing, late first half.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Nick's free thing in to change place.
Speaker 9 (07:49):
They'll send Harvey out wide left, Chuck un snap on
the left, Hash back pedals to throw, steps up in
the pocket, throws to the goal line.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
In his top It's a touchdown right in the middle.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
The insone.
Speaker 9 (08:01):
He finds Troy Franklin seven yard score, the fifth of
the year for Franklin, and the Proncos are an extra
point away from tying it up.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, a couple of ducks feeling good about that. I
guess I like that.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
There was like a little clip in there and it
sounded like he called it a chicken snap instead of
a shotgun snap, and that made me last.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Thanks to Kevin Coogler, Ryan Harris Westwood won for the
audio proof that somebody scored a touchdown last night.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
In that game, the.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Broncos had more penalties than first downs last night. They
went three and out on seven of their thirteen possessions,
but a block punt set up Denver for the game
winning field goal in the fourth quarter and they went
ten to seven.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I don't know who.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
That crew was, but I was expecting you to come
in here and say that was a horrible crew, or
this is a crew that flows. Was a lot of
flags horrible. It was literally, I mean when the broadcast
is saying the entire second half, let but there's another flag.
Probably could have said that before the snap. There was
tons of flag. Now part of it is up doing
things that are penalties, stop committing fouls, and yet they
(09:05):
couldn't figure out a way to do that. But that
does lead into now you're behind the change. It was
ugly all the way around. When they would start to roll,
Peyton called some weird little backwards pass to Court and
Sutton that they were gonna double pass, Like, just run it.
They're the Raiders, they suck. Just run the ball and
go win the game. No, no, it's try bows off.
(09:26):
He's almost seems like he's got the yips to some degree,
like he's like just missing. There's all kinds of things
that I didn't like about that game.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But they won. They won.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
They keep winning. They won seven straight games. They're the
first team in the league to eight wins. Meanwhile, Pete
and Gino fell to two and seven in their first
year as the Raiders.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
They're not good.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
They're not good. They are not good.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And that starts the week. It's gonna be a pretty
fun week, pretty exciting week. It's next game Sunday morning,
six thirty, and that's one worth getting up for. Atlanta
Indianapolis is a pretty good matchup from Berlin. Then the
New England Tampa Bay early game. That's fantastic. Rams in
San Francisco are playing the afternoon game on the other
(10:08):
side of US, and then the Sunday night game will
be Pittsburgh and the Chargers. So a pretty good weekend
of football for you in the National Football League. What
about College football Week eleven kicks off tomorrow and the
biggest game. I don't know if you would have circled
this at the beginning of the year of being one
of the biggest games of the year. But now that
the college football playoff rankings are out, the very first
(10:31):
week of college football playoff rankings, we can see that
undefeated BYU is number seven in America and then one lost.
Texas Tech is number eight in America and they are
going to meet up this Saturday in Lubbock, Texas, where
the Red Raiders are a ten point favorite. Vegas still
doesn't think BYU's real, does Rick Neuheisel.
Speaker 10 (10:52):
This will be a very big test. They're a ten
and a half point underdog to Texas Tech this weekend.
Texas Tech is the number one offense and the number
one defense in the Big Twelve. They're well resourced with
the guys from Double Eagle Energy, Cody Campbell and John Sellers.
They're putting up a lot of money. They were the
number one team in the Transfer Portal in terms of
(11:13):
purchasing talent.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
That's not to knock them.
Speaker 10 (11:16):
That's just a kind of a baseline as to how
they've done it. But by you going in there with
this young quarterback Bear Bachmeier is going to be a
fun game. And given what I've watched BYU do over
the course of the game, they find themselves in it late.
I'd take the ten and a half points.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Ashley did.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Did?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I think it was only ten when I got it,
But I'm still comfortable with that.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, Yeah, a double digit win. That's what Vegas is
predicting for Texas Tech over the constantly overlooked BYU Cougar's
that's going to be a fun game. But there are
others number three Texas A and M at number twenty
two Mazoo LSU trying to rally around, you know, their
new head coach. They'll be at number four Alabama. And
is there any chance that Navy can upset Notre Dame?
(12:04):
Not looking like it, but nonetheless that's a one lost
Navy at number ten Notre Dame, a full Big ten conference.
A weekend preview coming your way at eight forty five
this morning here on Chuck and Bucking.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
By the way, the Koogs are on by The Huskies
are in Madison, Wisconsin taking on the Badgers.
Speaker 11 (12:22):
The honey badger has been referred to by the Guinness
Booker World Records as the most fearless animal in all
the animal kingdom. It really doesn't give a shot. If
it's hungry. It's hungry. Yeah, what's that in its mouth?
Oh it's got a cobra. Oh it runs backwards. I'll
watch this. Look a snake's up in the tree. Honey
badger don't care honey badger.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Don't give a shit.
Speaker 11 (12:40):
It just takes what it wants whenever it's hungry. It's
just ih And it eats snakes. Oh my god, watch
it dig Look at that digging. The honey badger is
really pretty badass. They have no regard for any other
animal whatsoever. Looking it's just grunting and ill eating snakes.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Now, what's that of mouse? Oh that's nasty. Oh they're
so nasty. Great analysis of the Badgers.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
There way to break down Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
There's nothing left for the Honks to break down after that,
but they will try nine to thirty from Madison for
a one thirty kickoff on.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Saturday, the twenty third ranked.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Washington Huskies will be at two and six Wisconsin Husky's
coming off of by Badgers or zero to five and
Big ten play. And get this, they rank one hundred
and thirty fifth in college football and offense. Strange part
about that there are only one hundred and thirty teams.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Oh that's not good.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Then that's terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah, and Wisconsin maybe starting their third different quarterback this year,
a true freshman, Luke Fickle. And meantime, the head coach
has been given a vote of confidence he will be
back next year.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But I just never thought we'd see Wisconsin be this bad.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Well yeah, I mean they've been outscored ninety two to
seven the last three weeks, So idea, you're probably feeling
pretty good flying across country, time change, big ten travel,
whatever that is. This is a game that Washington just
got ranked. You got to go in there and obviously win,
but you got to go in there and win decisively.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And what they're saying in Madison is that they're just
not financially supported in this new nil era. They're just
the boosters aren't stepping up and it's not important enough
for them to be excellent at college.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Football, which is fine.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I think that's surprising though, because I feel like it's
so big a big deal there.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
But it really is when you think back to BYU
and Texas Tech and the money that's flooding in for
both of those programs. In Texas Tech because of money
came in overnight success and look out for BYU in
the future. The church likes to win stuff, so they're
going to spend a lot of money on their product,
where in Wisconsin they've just decided they're boosters. They're CEOs
(14:45):
and all invest in cheese. Yeah we're yeah, we're more
interested in having great cheese over great football teams.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So kick off at one thirty.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Ride here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KHRFM. Meanwhile,
the Huskies basketball team played last night against Denver and
improved it too and zero.
Speaker 12 (15:02):
Grab By Peterson wrap around, passed the saving and bounds.
Grab By Diallo floats it up.
Speaker 13 (15:07):
To call you bring Kicknong slams at home right to
the rim.

Speaker 13 (15:12):
He's hot, he's on fire, as they'd say, a NBA jam.
Why SOCKI out top coming down clock for behind By
Steinbach off.
Speaker 12 (15:22):
The glass and grab by man to quit. Three on
two outlet left to Peterson for three. Full tide for
t Mari Peterson. The Dogs are up eighty to sixty three.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Tony castrack Cone and jam on the call eighty four
to seventy the final score right here on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ RFM. Freshman Hans Steinbach thirteen
points and sixteen of the team's thirty seven rebounds last night.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
That's a freshman. That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, it's a nice little pickup there. Sprinkle, Yeah, nice
ye have Sprinkle. I thought you were calling me Sprinkle
thirty second.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I thought I got a new nickname and I remember
dead name. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Uh. Season zero is over for the Dogs and for
Danny Sprinkle as they will be at Baylor Sunday at
five thirty. One of the better programs in college basketball
today first weekend of the college basketball season. Koogs will
be at Davidson The Fighting Steph Curry's tonight at four
(16:18):
o'clock and then tomorrow night Zag's hosting Oklahoma at seven thirty.
So some good college basketball this weekend for all the locals.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Yeah, you get to have good stuff on your TV
while you sif your martinis with your Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
It's going to be wonderful. Yeah, this really does feel
like Christmas.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
It does.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Sounders will be in action tomorrow at.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
One, not Sunday, that's stupid. They'll be taking on Minnesota United.
It is match number three of a three match series
in the first round of the MLS Playoffs. The Sounders
lost with a lackluster shootout performance and match one. They
responded with a four to two blowout in match number two.
Will Minnesota United now Stratiga counter what the Sounders did
(17:03):
to we erupt for four runs against a very conservative team.
Ryan Schmitzer has been wondering that himself. I really don't know.
Speaker 10 (17:11):
I mean, he said in the press, Eric Ramsey's a
good guy, nice guy like him.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
He's good coach. He says, you know, we are who
we are. But after he took four and he.
Speaker 10 (17:23):
Allowed us to get on top of him with that
type of intensity, he's going to have to come out
a little bit more, at least at least that's what
I think.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I don't question Matt scientists at all. His tactics work.
I'm impressed with your tactics, tactics, But that's throwing a
little shade right there. That's him saying, we just stomped
you trying to play that way? Can you play another way?
Speaker 13 (17:45):
Really?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Is there another way that you can play?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Because it looks like we've solved your chess game.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, well it did.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Early I was getting ready to send to Jackson a
text and it just looks like a weekend of but
woo woopmans for c attle teams, and then bang bang
they came back and almost tied it up.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Now they pulled away and ended up doing it.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
I hope it works again, I hope that he can
figure out a way. It does feel like you go
with the mad scientists whenever you're in doubt.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I do, I for sure do. And by the way,
Jackson toone, he blocked you, so I don't anyway, And
I don't know his numbers.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
That three game threes tomorrow in the MLS and one
actually tonight. So if you're putting up your Christmas tree
tonight like most people, who most people, you can watch
a little soccer in the background if you'd like. Yeah,
but the Sounders in Minnesota will play tomorrow at one
o'clock out at Minnesota. Major League Baseball off season. Yeah,
(18:42):
free agency is officially underway. Not only have players declared
this week, teams can now start signing Major League Baseball players.
We've already seen a signing and it's a familiar name,
Leoti Tavares.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
There's your trivia question.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
The first free agent to sign this offseason now a
former Mariner. He signed with the Baltimore Orioles yesterday. But
now that we're underway, my goodness, let's heat up the stove.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Stove, stove.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
What a kind of name is that.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
That's a great name, that's a perfect name, but it's
all about the Mariner's nay role here in Seattle, and
it hadn't been sounding good based on a few different
little comments. But Justin Hollander totally redeemed himself yesterday and
said that we are on course. He is our priority
and they certainly have the funds to bring Josh Naylor back.
(19:38):
Maybe he takes up all the off season funds. I
don't know, but I think it is sounding good that
he'll be in a Mariner uniform.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Just not great. Yeah, well, I.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Want it to be great, and I want it to
be done. I mean, I was part of me, it
was having a hard time getting over the fact that
deary and Justin let Leo de Tavares go. I mean,
I don't know what we're gonna do now. Willie's a
lot cheap ownership.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Remember at one point thought that maybe that was going
to be the only addition that they made.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
We'll probably bring the lost.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Him, no, no, no, no, no, but yes, bring Naylor back.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Please.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
I mean, I I'll put up a Christmas tree tomorrow,
Josh Naylor tree. If we get this thing done.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
All right, let's do it, Mariners, come on, let's put the.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Cart before the horse here, put it up now, and
then you'll be ruling no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Christmas with surely no. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
I'll celebrate Thanksgiving in the Josh Naylor kind of way.
I like celebrating Thanksgiving with my Christmas tree.
Speaker 13 (20:30):
Now.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yeah, that's the best way. It gives your house extra festiveness.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Uh crack.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
It will be an action tomorrow in Saint Louis against
the Blues. They'll drop the puck at four point thirty
and Mike Benton will be there to salibate. We'll come
back on the other side with a friend of the
radio program, if not of mine.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Dustin Nickerson joins us on.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFF, great friend of
the program and personal friends of Ashley Ryan and Bucky Jacobson.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I would think mostly just me. I mean, I think
it's just me. I'm the only one that went to
a show that's true. Maybe best friends with Buck.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Yeah, oh yeah. None of the Ashley, none of my
other fans have kids that had sporting. I've only built
a whole career off of being a volleyball dad.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Ye, we talked about it.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
You were going to volleyball, Yeah, a tournament all day yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
Every once in a while people will point out the
logic fail. They're like, you just you talk about how
you're like at these volleyball tournaments all the day, but
we see your calendar. You work saturdays on the road.
I'm pretty sure your wife is at those tournaments. I've
been to a few. Let's not get all nitpicky. I'm
paying for him.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
He's right here in studio. So you're back in Seeattle.
Speaker 2 (21:57):

I'm opening for a much more successful comedian. I know,
I got.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Deemed an up and commer. I think this one has arrived.
I kept that radio friendly. I was trying to figure
out how to take an up and comer and put
it in in current tents. I think arrived is the
cleanest way we could say that.

That he I'm opening for. Yeah, exactly, there you go.
Speaker 8 (22:25):

Then, yeah, I met Nate like seven, eight years ago
something like that. Twenty seventeen, his half an hour special
on Netflix came out so he at the time was
like kind of like I wouldn't say medaling, like he
was like established but not. He wasn't selling a ton
(23:59):
of ticks or anything. It just shows how happy fast
it can happen for some comics like he. I when
I met him, we were just I met him on
the road in Nashville where he lives.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Nashville.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
I was just doing a spot at saying he's comedy
club out there, and we connected and and he looks
you look for people that you kind of naturally connect
and maybe do similar You want openers who do who
work kind of the same brand as you, but talk
about different things than you. So, uh, you know, we
were kind of a natural fit. And then my my
(24:29):
Nate story is I remember, you know, Nate, golf's a lot,
and I I'm not. I don't have that kind of money.
I don't have golf money. I didn't, right, didn't. It
wasn't raised on golf. And I was like, okay, but
a lot of people around me do golf, so I
should learn how to do this a little bit. I
had golfed a couple of times, and uh, we were
(24:50):
in Spokane dit Spokane Comedy Club with him, and he
took us out to a course in Ida called Circling Raven,
very nice course, and I'm like, it's pretty nervous, becau.
It's almost like an audition to to like, hey, am
I going to work with this guy for a while
and get thousands and thousands of dollars over the next
decade of my career. And We're on like the driving
(25:12):
range and I'm very nervous. I like, am missing the
ball on the driving range, nervous, Like they're looking at
me like usually you don't have to replace divots on
the driving range, on the mat on the I'm missing
the ball and I was like, this is yeah exactly,
(25:33):
It's like a mirror and they and Nate's not even
looking at me, thankfully. And then we go to like
the putting green. I remember I miss a ten footer
buy ten feet like I'm and I was like, this
is I'm gonna get fired first hole.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Like He's like, you said you knew how to do this.
I always say this.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
I'm like, if I if I can golf in two digits,
it's a decent round for me.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
So it's a good round.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
Now I'm underplaying myself, but I and then out of
out of just this pure divine god looking out for me, miracle.
The first I'm so nervous, like shaking it like this
is gonna be which is not good in golf. First hole,
I put it right in the middle of the green.
Second one, I now get ten feet within the hole.
I birdie the first hole. What I'm missing the ball
(26:21):
on the driving range. And now I realize, oh no,
I better not play too well or I'm going to
get fired for that reason. So now I have eighteen
holes of sandbagging myself, okay.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
And I'll be a climate pledge with him tonight.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
So there you go. That's great. I can't wait. Yeah,
I think that the there's.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
A connection because I love the way that both of
you take like normal stuff that everybody goes through, and
you both have very like unique comedic ways of spinning
that and telling that story.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah, but he tells.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
And and and and and and you and our experience
with you. You tell like the like mundane things, talk about mundane.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Things that everybody goes through.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
But it's like, how did you see that right right
string of comedy?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, situation that we've all been through it that's very.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
Kind of you to say, I mean Nate in particular,
I mean if you were like, when you tell a
Rodney Dangerfield joke, you know, it reads like a joke.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
My wife have sex in the car she wants me
to drive.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
It reads like a joke. You're like, you read you
read that, like that's when you read a transcript of
Nate's jokes. They're not even funny. You ever try and
repeat a Nate joke, They're not funny. They're like, you
just you sound stupid, and you're like, well, yeah, but
that's kind of the appeal of him. And people say,
you know, with him in particular, like oh gosh, you
(27:49):
just make it look so easy.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
They do not say that with me. They're like, that
looks like a lot of work.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I see.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
You guys are very similar because I think there's a
dryness to it. That is where you can just be
talking about something and it does fall flat without the
comedic timing and the way in which you pros are
able to do it. Because I've told Nate jokes before,
trying to tell people about him, and all of a
sudden I try to replay one, it doesn't sound good.
I did the same thing with you and my buddies
(28:19):
are like, yeah, I guess I'll have to give it
a Google.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Look him up.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
The That was a funny show at the Neptune because
Bucky and five Rascal friends were joining you, and I
was kind of waiting for him to text, like, hey,
we made it, as I think, I said, text me
when you're in the building, the tour manager will come
grab you.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
And bring you backstage and stuff.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
And then Bucky just emerged backstage, very out of breath.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
Yeah, well you didn't tell me you were in the
top of the castle.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
I didn't have a chance because you didn't tell me
you were there. You were just like Wayne's World, flashing
your pass or were you like, yeah, where do I
Where does this take me?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Kevin? Yeah, I saw Kevin.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
I said, Kevin, I'm supposed to go behind that red
velvet curtain.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
I don't even know Kevin is.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, all players know how to pass, no.
Speaker 8 (29:14):
Kidding, Yeah, like they're supposed to be there, he was.
I think he's ready to go on stage. I think
he's like, I think I'm doing a guest set after
the host.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
I believe after those stairs. Those aren't even stairs, that's
more like a ladder.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
Yeah, well, the the Neptune there in the U District,
which you know, I walked and busted by for years.
Uh not four years, two years community college transfer out
of here. Uh and uh everyone was like, oh man,
did you just like dream of playing here like it
was a movie theater when I wasn't even a venue
that did comedy, which means it has not been it's not. Uh,
(29:50):
it was never meant for people to go upstairs that often.
So in your defense, it wasn't built for that.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, Rapunzel just left that let down or exactly. Yeah,
that was a lot easier back in the Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
All right, So we haven't talked to.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
You on the air anyway about the Mariners season coming
to a close. You've had plenty of time to grieve.
How's that process been like for you?
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (30:14):
I think, you know, I've talked about it a little
on stage I did that night it ended up turning
into a group therapy session. Yeah, yeah, and I think
I think other than the Sonics joke, everybody liked all
of it, and I you know, it was I mean,
the funniest part about it all was, you know, I
(30:34):
planned that show on October. I think I'm gonna have
told you guys this in the studio October twenty fifth,
and I had people messaging me during the run like dude,
what in the world it's the World Series and aren't
you a Mariners fan? And then it hit me. I
was like, dude, I'm the most Mariners fan because it
never occurred to me, not one chance. And I was like, dude,
(30:56):
late October, there might be a conflict. And because my
birthday is October twenty fourth and the Mariners have never
played a baseball game on my birthday, and I was like,
there's just zero chance. And then there was a bit
of a chance. And I think that shows how much
of a Mariners fan. I had financial incentive for the
Mariners not to make the World Series, like ticket sales
(31:18):
went way up when they have. I have, thanks to
you guys and some online stuff. I've carved out a
nice little fan group of Northwest sports fans, and ticket
sales went way up when they they lost, and I
was still sad.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Yeah, good, yeah, made yeah exactly.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
I did go to the Illinois game, the Husk the
Illinois at Washington.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
That was fun.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
That was a surreal moment because I think maybe even
how I got on your radar was a joke I
did about the Ducks in Eugene where I said, uh,
I said this in Eugene where I saw the Phil
Knight where he said, I, you know, I'm just put
every resource I can to making sure the Ducks win.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
A national championship before I die.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
And that was a real heat check for like, oh
my gosh, I mean, am I a monster? Do I
want this guy to die before they win a national championship?
Then it hit me, He's like, no, I don't want that.
I want him to live forever and then never win
a national championship.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
That's what I want.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
And I didn't know that joke really made the rounds
at the athletic department at you dub so they're like, hey,
do you reach out? Do you want some tickets? I
was like, of course. They're like, hey, do you want
to sound the siren? I was like, I'm the most
pathetic alum in the hit. I'm a two point eight
graduate here with the International studies degree who was only
here two years and only got here because I got
(32:43):
a community college degree. And they're like, do you want
to meet dubs? And I got in trouble with Dubbs
because they I got you pet Dub's chest and they're like,
you're not allowed to do that, and I was like, okay,
well maybe if it was Joel McHale I could. But
and then you're supposed to do scratches by yeah exactly, Yeah,
they just work. But then they're like, do you want
(33:06):
to go up to Pat Chun's the athletic director suite
And I was like, I mean, obviously, and he was like, dude,
I love the organ joke. Very surreal for me, and
I want to be like, hey, can you extend fish already?
But you got to be you got to be professional
in that environment. And I'm like, thanks for the chicken tenders.
(33:28):
I didn't belong in that suite, by the way, and
the reason is because it was raining, and you know,
there's like the the well to do that. You know,
these are like the high they're whining and dining and
me and my friend are and Ponchos actually in the
seats in front of the suite and they're like, wow,
you're like really committed. It's like, hey, I'm a fan
of the team. I don't want to watch this behind glass.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Pointed Un say you can rub my chest if you
will pay for a safety around.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
He didn't.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
He said it with his eyes, you know, And that
was a That was the funny thing is that I
told my friend who I went with, Tristan. I was like, Oh,
do they think I have like money?
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Huh am I being wined and dying right now because I.
Speaker 8 (34:12):
Can share some Instagram stuff and I can help the
department get a few followers.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
I can't. At best.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
I might be able to get you a volleyball player
maybe if it's a good year.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
Yeah, no, Libro, and it would.
Speaker 8 (34:30):
And I'll be particularly incentivized if it's two years from
now and it's my volleyball player whose grades are also
not getting her in here. So we'll see where I'm
in two years. Maybe I can get some of that.
I need some nepotism benefits.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
All right, man, Well, great to see you shows tonight, and.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Yeah, you promote my shows.
Speaker 8 (34:53):

the way in here. Michael, we're gonna go at least
fifteen minutes. Yeah, with the comedian, our friend. So thanks
to Dustin for coming in. And yeah, you go check
(35:48):
him out whenever you get the opportunity. All right, Hugh
mellon X's and I was coming up at nine o'clock.
But we always use this little window to preview the
Big Ten college football weekend.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
It starts tonight.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
USC Rojins nineteenth ranked in America hosting Northwesterns having a
pretty good year this year. Six o'clock kickoff not a
bad game for a Friday night in the Big Ten.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
And then tomorrow nine am.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Number two ranked Indiana will be at Penn State against
the Nitney Lions, still seeking their first Big.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Ten win of the year. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Ohio State, ranked number one in America, will be at Purdue,
probably beating the boiler Makers by a thousand.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Maryland will be at Rutgers.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Kickoff there is at eleven thirty Oregon nine versus number
twenty Iowa.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
This is the game of the week in the Big Ten.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
It will be at twelve thirty tomorrow from Kinnick Stadium
in Iowa City. Of course, the Huskies will be at
Wisconsin at one point thirty. We've been talking about that
all week long as the Dogs come off the bye.
And then the night game, the only night game, six o'clock.
It will be Nebraska without Damon Raioli he's out with
an injury for the rest of the year at UCLA
(36:56):
to take on the fighting Jerry Newheisels at six pm.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
So there is your.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Big Ten schedule for the weekend. Our Big Ten pickups
are also made in this segment. We do a Big
Ten Fantasy league for a Green jacket. Chris Kidd is
leading away with seven hundred and sixteen points. Boy, and
he have a pick from Heaven last week. Jordan Marshall
filling in for Justin Haynes. I don't think he knew
that he was filling in for Justin Haynes. Justice Haynes
(37:21):
and he forty two fantasy points.
Speaker 6 (37:23):
Yeah, they couldn't know that he was filling in for
him because I was trying to find out if he
was going to play or not, because he's on my
team and he doesn't play and his guy goes off.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Oh, it's frustrating, isn't it? College coaches keeping their secrets.
Number two Ashley seven hundred and three points, just thirteen
back of Kid. She jumped back into second place because
she had the best week of all of us last week.
Bucky is in third with six sixty five. He had
a rough week because he had two guys sit out
and he didn't know that they were hurt.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
And it's not his fault. Believe me.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I had Darius Taylor on my roster for most of
the season and I'm sitting there with six point fifty one.
We all had great pickups last week. Chance to make
pickups again this week you can only pick up one person,
but you do have to drop someone. Kid has the
first pick again and he's picking up k Tron Allen,
the Penn State running back and dropping Jordan Marshall.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
So get forty two points out of him and then just.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Drop, just drop him like yesterday's garbage.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, and Illinois are all on by,
and since I don't have anybody on by, I'm going
to stick with my team and get the number.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
One pick away from Kid next week. So I'm going
to pass this week, so it's on me.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
Then, yeah, I am going to drop Justice Haynes because
I don't know if he's going to be hurt and
they're on by, so no more zero. Still have no
idea Elijah Zat's going to be healthy enough to play,
but it's time.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I now know who the lead back is. He is healthy.
Noah Whittington, Oregon.
Speaker 6 (38:50):
I'm riding that pony all the way to the championship
the rest of this year.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
All right, nice, nice bold prediction. Right there, Noah Whittington
running back or again is picked up by Bucky. Justice
Haynes has dropped, all right, Ashley, You've got to decide
between your guy. Yeah, I know whether you're gonna live
with a zero and we'll get rid of Luke Altmeyer.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Can't live with a zero. I can't live with the zero.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
I live with them, and you can't live without them.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
I was hoping to be able to drop Hunter, but
I can't do it this week. So I am going
to drop Altmeyer and I am going to pick up
Jaden Mayama.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Okay, oh, well, you got somebody to watch tonight. Yep
usc is a quarterback taken on Northwestern.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
All right, there you go.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
