Speaker 1 (01:23):
You know you're not No, You're not just.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Want to be honest with you, just one of you.
Real it's not how I usually call football, but no,
that's hey, No, reality is the mo You get a
little emotional. You're you're invested in this sport, right ze
do I'm telling you you just wait wait till their
time comes when you see that playing. That might happen today,
maybe a little bit later down the road. But there's
there's a few things that you let unleash. Sure suddenly
(01:46):
of course.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well if you do that tonight during the spring game,
you got a problem.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Man, Really, this.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Is a p You know that we got a good team.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
That's right, If you do that tonight, I don't know, man,
Either a leg zion said, these guys are gonna go
win then, or there's something wrong with you.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
But cam Cleveland just stopped by with us, fresh off
a great night.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Sleet at the Sleep at the Sober Cloud Hotel stadium. Man,
getting put up like a king down there. You're enjoying
yourself at the Silver Cloud.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
It's an amazing spot. It's right down there next to
the T Mobile Park and I got an awesome spot
to stay getting hooked up with that. The beds are fantastic.
The people are great, the parking, everything about that place
and the convenience of it has been one nothing but
first plass.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
My favorite thing. There's a bar downstairs.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Man.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's my absolutely right about that place.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
So I was just telling Zion before we kind of
you know, get your thoughts and what we're going to
see tonight, and really, I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We got a guy like this to sit down with you.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
You gotta reminisce and talk about that twenty twenty three season.
You mentioned we had Jackson. I think we asked him
off on the air for his favorite game, and you
said that Oregon game when Camden Lewis missed that fuel goal,
and you said you have not heard that call up
until now.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
No, Wow, I mean I've heard. I feel like maybe
I just wasn't paying attention to the yelling in the background,
you know, because I've heard Tony for sure. But I
mean I think we used them over a couple edits right,
So but yeah, you're going crazy in the background.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
I mean that such a tone for how we celebrated
that night too.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So oh yeah, tell us about that. We've never talked
about that.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
But there might have been a small celebration after.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Tell me about that, so that that game ends like
around what four o'clock, four thirty years sold I remember, correctly,
tell me about your your evening that night, Saturday night.
Speaker 7 (03:20):
Yeah, it was one of those times where there's a
lot of guys you know that, but maybe you didn't
like to go out on the team. But there were
a few wins where it's like if you put that
jersey on and during those four quarters you have to
be there mandatory, like even penn X would be like
like even if you show up for a little bit,
like this is a team celebration, right, So.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Where were you? You remember whose house?
Speaker 6 (03:42):
I think we edited up downtown.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Holding it.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
I don't remember everything now I'm good.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I shouldn't remember everything.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
It could be the blur.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Yeah, but it's good.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
I mean we I know, for me and Devin, you know,
we walked back to the parking lot with our families
and we could barely get to our cars, you know
without you know, drink this take that.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
You know Huscanation. You know, I was like, Mom, I
guess you're driving me home.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
You know.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
So it was fun, you know, and seeing Husky Nation
on all tends like that. Oh, is there's just no
better feeling.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Well, you gotta you gotta tell Canon the story that
you just told us on the air about what you
thought was going on in the game.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Will you we please tell him? Go ahead?
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Please?
Speaker 7 (04:22):
There was a handful of us that weren't really cognizant
of the score when the kick happened.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
I personally thought we were up for Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I told him, then why would they be kicking a filal?
Speaker 6 (04:37):
And I was like, I mean, just to make the
score look prettier. I don't know, like they had already
conceded the feet there.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Be invested in the game, and be invested in the moment,
not the score.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Literally literally.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
It took the crowd reacting for me to be like,
was that the time?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I was like, how freaking funny is that? I've never
heard that before? But I've never heard that one. I'm
just wondering what was higher the number of points you
scored to your blood alcohol level going to the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
By the way, after that game was over, man, but that.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
That season, you know, it's almost like we were robbed
of reminiscing about it, right because of what happened with
Kaylan so.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Zion.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I want to get your thoughts on this, and then
we'll talk more about what's going to happen that night
a little bit. We had Kaelan on Jackson what day
was it? Was it Monday that Kaylen was on the
show because the Seahawks draft of Jalen Milroe out of Alabama.
So naturally we texted Kaylen Nick Sheridan. You know, Nick
was on our show on Saturday morning as well. And
Jackson can vouch for this. There were some Husky fans
(05:36):
that were pissed that he was coming on the show. Right,
A lot of Husky fans are sour with him, angry
with him. What do you say to Husky fans that
have that opinion of Kaylen? To Boor and how do
you view Kaylen de Bor after he bolted for Alabama?
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Yeah, I have no ill will towards towards Kaylen to boy,
We've actually talked multiple times since his departure. I was
one of the first hits that he actually had seen.
He was coming into the building and I was scheduling
my surgery and so we had cross paths while he's
walking into the team meeting to let them know, and
so I just I just kind of hit him, you know,
like you can tell me, you know, like I'm no
(06:09):
longer in the building, and he just kind of, you know,
it gives me a shake, like it was a hard
decision for him. That's what I think people have to remember.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Like this is just the state of college football today,
and it's Alabama, you know.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
I mean, obviously I love you Dubb and I love
I think we're a prestigious university, but in recency bias especially,
I mean, they're they're one of the most chided universities
in college football today.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Zion.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I'll let me piggyback off this because I love asking
guys that have been just recent football. I'm on the outside.
I'm an old old dog that watches it, but I'm
still around it and I have boys now that are
gonna be in college football. Tell me you said it's changing,
and just the landscape of how you're seeing it changes.
What do you see that college football and University Washington
and how you compete at the level to get to
(06:56):
the twelve playoffs? What do teams have to do? And
do you like the idea of the players having more
power now to be able to play this sport?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
I like the.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
Freedom to pursue opportunity because I think a lot of
guys used to feel stuck in their situation and kind
of maybe hope that the ball rolls their way or
you know, have to decide between sitting out that year
when I started, that was the rule. And so I think,
you know, if it's not what you thought it was
to be, if it's you know, maybe the opportunity isn't
(07:26):
all it presented it enough to be, then yeah, like
go find something else. I don't like the fact where
it's it's like you're almost one of the coaches. They're
not allowed to inconvenience their players, like you're there to
be coached. I think nobody came into college a full
proof NFL product.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You know.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
That's why we're not allowed to do one and done's
in this sport, right And so you know, if you're
not allowed, if you're not allowing yourself to be culchable,
and you're just seeking the easiest opportunity, I mean, I'm
sure you can find it, and I'm sure the money
is there to be found, but it's also what are
you getting out of it on the back end?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Can I another thing? I want you to really hit
on For me is the importance of the locker room
because there's those that are out that are listening goes,
there's the haves and the have nots, there's the money
in the locker room. Did that change at all the atmosphere?
Your guys walk around and I got more than you
and I got more than you or was it just
we're still playing football. There's no dollar signs in the
locker room. When guys are getting ready to play, everybody
(08:16):
puts the same jersey on. Did that change the atmosphere?
Speaker 8 (08:20):
Not?
Speaker 9 (08:20):
Not?
Speaker 6 (08:20):
When I was in the locker room, I think it
was almost one of it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
It was still kind of growing when you were there.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Yeah, it was. It was definitely a lot smaller than
it is today, for sure. But I think we also.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Made it a point where that's not like we don't
talk numbers in the locker room, Like if you want
to share your number, you know what I mean, that's
a you you outside the locker room conversation, but like
you're never gonna come in this locker room and be
like that guy's getting paid more than me, you know,
you know, because it's almost your value is set before
before you go out there. Like if you're a freshman,
(08:50):
you know what I mean, Like your your value set
before you even take a snap, and so now maybe
your value has changed, kind of like this Neco situation, right,
Like maybe your value.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
It's amazing now, well looking at this.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Maybe your value has changed and you can seek to
be compensated for that. But like there's you know, I
like there Just because you're you can doesn't mean you should,
you know, Like I like, I think about that ECO situation.
I think he got bad, bad news and it you know,
a bad person in his ear because it's I do
think he had a great season. I think he's a
great talent, but I mean is tape will tell you
(09:23):
that his numbers were frontloaded, and you know how SEC
schedules their games and so the production, Yeah, it has
to be against top talent if you want to. I mean,
he wanted to double his salary, right, So I don't know. Obviously,
if your productions there and you feel like your value
is not met, then yeah, I'd say negotiate with your
university because I think that was a good thing that
(09:43):
the board did with us. Obviously, like I said, the
numbers were a lot smaller than it is today. But
he was able to see like, Okay, like I know
this is what you got last year. We're gonna give
you a little bit more, you know than we want
to build this, retain this, and so obviously the coaches
gotta think you're worth it, the program's gotta think you're
worth it. And but go out there and improve your word.
(10:05):
That's that's all. Yeah, like a little bit of that.
And you're prically don't be set by gouging or whatever
what is it called now when they when they talk
too soon. But like you're, you're it shouldn't be set
from someone trying to poach you from your team, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
It should be set from sure your own team well
and that and that.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Honestly, I mean, look, I'm not overly concerned about it
with like a kid like demand, but what I would
love to see is guys commit to four year contracts,
you know. I mean, look, you show up here and
it's a you know, it's basically a one year deal.
You know, I don't mind kids getting paid. I just
want some structure for God's sake, right, and you know,
a four year commitment. And if we decide the two
of us, I'm your coach or the player that it's
(10:44):
better off for you and not of part ways than fine.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
That's I'm totally fine with that. But I just think
there needs to be.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Some kind of commitment because I'm getting tired of seeing
new guys every single year, and it's hard for fans
to fall in love with players when they have no
idea if the guy's going to stick around. But Cam
Cleland Zion tuopol off a twoy ZTF with us here
at ub getting ready for the Dogs after dark game
coming up, pregame at six, kickoff at six thirty right
here on ninety three.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
To three KJRFM.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
So how I was on with the radio station in
North Dakota the other day talking about Gray's Abel, who
the Hawks just took at number eighteen, and they asked me, hey,
you know, what are fans thinking about you, Dub?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Are they are? They? Are?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
They pleased with the progress the programs made. And I
said to the guys on the air, I think they've
done about as good as they could do, you know,
considering the situation they were in. I mean, my god,
those couple of weeks and months after kayl and left
were like it was like a bomb went off right,
nobody left for crying out loud. So you tell me,
Zion will start with you. How do you think this
program has recovered since then?
Speaker 6 (11:44):
I think we've we're in a good position.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Obviously not what we wanted last year to be, but
we didn't know what we were what last year could
have been, you know, and so we finished with our record,
but we could easily be watching the games back two
three more wins. And I think that's kind of the
promising feature that you held on to from last year,
especially knowing that we had kind of the guy coming
(12:07):
up behind Will Rogers, that we were easing into the role.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
And I think it's important to talk like last night
as an alumni hanging out. And I think and I
mentioned it this morning when I was on with Chuck
and Buck, but I'll say it again. Those didn't hear it.
Coach Fish said, it's a drastic change from last year
to this year. You had sixty five guys on a
roster in the spring game. You had seven offensive linemen.
Last year you couldn't even dress Edward black shirts because
you didn't even have enough guys. You now have seventeen.
(12:33):
You had two quarterbacks, you now have five. You went
from sixty five to a roster of ninety five. You're
gonna add ten more. You got twenty five freshmen coming in.
You have an adjustment of a roster now that have
to stay at one oh five. Things have to fluctuate
at least until the judge rule comes down about what
we do with walk ons. There's so much more depth,
there's more change, there's more investment. But guys, I'll tell
(12:55):
you what the one thing that you see every year
is He mentioned this. He said, I told the guys,
if two, if anybody goes in the portal, okay, we
don't go to the portal. That's what coach Fas says.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
What does that mean? What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
He said, if nobody leaves for the portal, I'm not
going after everybody to the portal. I like who we
have here. I like what we have here.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
So he's only into the portal off one of his
guys leaves, and so it's meaning he's not looking to upgrade.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
And look, Dave, here's here's a stat that might blow
your mind. Thirty one guys across all Division I Power
five football, there's thirty one guys on average leave every year.
In the spring. Wow, okay, per team. So if you
can hold your core and he said, I'm getting after
twenty five guys and we have twenty eight guys committed
for the next year out of high school. That means
you're building high school. You're not building through the transfer portal.
(13:39):
So he's committed in that mindset. And I value that
tremendously because you're in the development of talent, but you
also have to hold your talent when they're good here.
So it's that's why you're gonna need a CEO, and
you're gonna need a general manager, and you're gonna have
to invest in all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Zion, before you go, before we let you go, are
outside of Demond, who are the stars on this team?
Here are the guys that you tell your buddies, man,
look out for this guy, look out for that guy.
This guy's a beast. He's gonna blow up. Nobody's talking
about him. I got a couple of guys at the
top of my head, but I want to hear your
thoughts on kind of a couple of players on the
football team that you really think might be stars that
(14:14):
maybe we're not talking about, that we might see tonight.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Not talking about that's that's interesting.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
I think, you know, we have the star running back
and Coleman's uh maybe a little underrated star in Zel.
I think with Giles and a couple of guys leaving
the wide receiver room, I to keep your eye off
for Rashid as well. He very He was getting playing
time when we were, when I was playing, and so
he's very talented young receivers kind of just needs the
opportunity to find him, and so I'm excited for him.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
But yeah, and you know, like the get like the
we went.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
Over the guys on the roster that I did play with,
I've always rooting for them, so hopefully I can see
some flashes. I know a couple of them may not
be playing tonight. And derrif An the NQ, but did
be good to see him out there when the time comes, no.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Question, all right, you guys want to go upstair and
do the whole like we gotta go to work, gass
thing for work. Now they're about to set up a
buffet by the way, so you guys won't want to
hang down here. To be totally honest with you, all right, Zion,
you're the man great stuff. Go do some stuff upstairs. Cam,
you're the man. Good stuff. We're gonna break. Jackson Feltz
is back in the studio as well. We got a
lot more to get to coming up right here on
ninety three three kJ RFM on.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
Casting live from the R and R Foundation specialist Brod
Jazz Studio. Now back to Softie and Dig powered by
Emerald Queen Casino, the Betty and Capital of the Northwest
on Sports Radio and Natty's three point three kJ R FM.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
All right, boys and girls, here back inside Husky Stadium.
I am staring down the barrel Jackson of the East
goal post by the way, right behind the famous goal
posts where the game winning kick against Washington State in
twenty twenty three was made by our friend Grady Gross,
who's still here, by the way. Amazing the guy's still
(15:58):
here while so many players leave. Grady has stuck around
at Washington. But hey, big thanks to Cam cleland ZTF
for coming by, Yogi Roth, Tony castro Cone.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
We can breathe here a little bit.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Meat to Time's gonna join us at five o'clock from ESPN.
Get her thoughts on the draft recap, everything I want
to ask her about her her own company continuing to
push this Bill Belichick's girlfriend story down my friggin throat.
It's on the front page of their website as we
speak right now. So I mean, like, I kind of understand.
I know, Jackson, you and I I think are kind
of on the same page with why should we care
(16:31):
about this stuff? I think from a North Carolina perspective,
it matters. I don't really know if it matters much
to the rest of the country, but I also do
think that there is there's a little bit of scandalous
nature to this kind of story, right, Like why do
people stop and read the tabloids when they're waiting online
to check out of the grocery store. Why do people
watch soap operas, Why do people watch The Bachelor and
(16:53):
The Bachelor Rette.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Why do they watch reality TV shows?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Because they want to know what the hell is happening
in somebody else's private life.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That's why I said this to you a couple of
days ago with Hugh and Hugh and I think he
Hugh didn't exactly agree with this, but I would come.
I would compare this to like the Kardashians and for
people who are into reality TV and people who follow
like my wife loves to watch the Real Housewife shows
and it's kind of just it's it's just her turn
(17:20):
off the brain and and don't care about all the
other stuff going on in the world. And like I think,
I think for those kind of people, the Kardashians is
the tabloids. It's it's kind of the thing of you're
you're gonna have an eye on it because it's just
so scandalous. This Belichick girlfriend's story is the scandalous Kardashian
story for sports fans, and I listen, it's just it's
(17:41):
so stupid and we shouldn't be giving an inth of
a degree of attention to it, but here we are
because of how scandalous it is.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Well, let me ask you a question, because it's it's
it's easy for us to excuse me kind of point
fingers and mock and joke and laugh and talk about
creepy it is.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
And would Millan say.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
The word for people that love older people jendrapheliac or
whatever the hell it's called, or something like that, whatever
word he made up on the ear dastrophilia, Yeah, something
like that. It's Millan's deal, not mine, right, But if
this was our head coach. Like, let's say Jedfish is
really seventy four years old and he's got a girlfriend
that's fifty years old younger or fifty years younger than
(18:23):
he is. And there's moments in time and video surfacing
where she's ordering the coach around, and she's cutting cameras off,
and she's on the practice field handing out notes to
people and getting in Bill's ears he's running drills. I
think that would bother me. That would bother me a
lot as a husky foot. Now that's not what's going
(18:45):
on there, clearly, But I'm just saying, if you swap
Carolina and all of a sudden you put you dub
in the name, that would be like kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I'm like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Like what if we turned this thing into It's kind
of a zoo, it's kind of a circus. So I
get from a Carolina perspective, why for them it might
be a massive deal in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Just and I've watched the video of her going onto
the field and quickly saying something and then to a
coach and then walking off, And like, I think the
base question that should be asked right now, if you're
a North Carolina fan, is how much of a distraction
or how much of an influence is she actually making
right now?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Right right? Is she?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Is it just coming in for a second to say
something and then walking out? But the fact that shows
but the fact that sorry just or is it her
actually giving advice of let's do this this way, let's
do this appum sure, But.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
The fact that we even need to worry about that,
that's the story that's good. Right The fact that you
and I as North Carolina football fans or insert team
ay here or whatever, let's just say, if it was
happening at you, dub, I'd be like, really, are you
a freaking kid?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Me? Like, this is what we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
I mean, we're trying to bounce back here, we're trying
to get back to you know, a rose ball play
for it, and we're talking about if the freaking head
coach's girlfriend has too much power over the football.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
That's the conversation we're having.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
That's the kind of stuff that they're talking about right
now in North Carolina. So again, from their perspective, I
think it's a I understand why they want to know
what the hell is going on.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I also think, I mean there's a juicy element to
it obviously, right.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
I mean there's been how many stories have we talked
about on this radio show? How many stories have we
covered on this radio station where it really there's nothing tangible, right,
there's no real life impact to any event. We're just
talking about stuff because it's fun to talk about, right,
And there's a scandalous, potentially juicy nature to it that
(20:34):
you know, every human being kind of digs their nose
and puts their nose where it doesn't belong, sticks their
face where it doesn't belong.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
There's been a lot of stories like.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
That that we've covered that really don't have any impact
on anything we're doing in real life. But I do
think from the NFL perspective, Hey, there was a conversation
going on, and we'll ask Mina about this about whether
or not Bill Belichick whatever coach in the NFL one day.
And this is one of those things that you've got
to consider and discuss if you do end up hiring
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Has he kind of has he gone off the deep
end of the pool? Right?
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Is he to a point where, all right, the guy's
got a girlfriend that's fifty years younger than he is,
who's hanging around and who knows what influencing him and
doing this and doing.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
That, you know it taking all these weird pictures.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
I mean, it's like, we make fun of Russell Wilson,
but there were Wasn't there a photo set that they
did where they were mermaids? I'm like, what the hell's
going on here? Awesome is Bill freakin' Belichick. He's the
maybe the greatest coach in the history of the NFL,
and he's taking pictures of a mermaid costume with a twenty.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Five year old I mean, like, what's going on around here?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I will say as a as a sports fan, it
was a very enjoyable picture. To uh, I don't know
how right I get it.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
It was a hilarious photo for a lot of reasons.
But I will say, like, if you're an NFL owner
and you're watching all this happen, and you look at
the mermaid photo and all this, like, unless you just
want to bring drama and and bring you know, the
coverage and just all you care about is the cameras
in your building, maybe you bring him on, But I
don't think that's probably not any owner in National Football League.
(22:05):
If you're an owner who cares about winning and cares
about his coach being fully focused on winning, which is
all of them, I think, then there is no chance
you ever bring Billy Belichick. And given the situation he
now has it with his girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yeah, no, I think you're right.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
I think he's lessening his odds of coaching one day
in the NFL if that's what he wants to do.
I mean, I've got a theory on all of this
that Frankly, I think he just took the Carolina job
to give.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
It to Steve.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Yeah, that's just what I thought from the start. I mean,
I've never wavered in that aspect. I mean, I see
Steve Belichick had no desire to be here at Washington none.
I mean it was like, honestly, when he did those
press conferences, it was like he literally sat on a
knife that went right through his groin when he was
doing those press conferences.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
And Brendan Carroll was kind of right there with him,
by the way.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
I mean, those guys had just noticed, like I literally,
and I've told Dick this before, there was a couple
of press conferences.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I'm not sure what game. It was where I literally was.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Sitting there, uh in the in the uh in the
press conference room, and I wanted to ask Steve like
why are you here? Like not why are you here
at you dubb but why are you here talking to us?
Like what are you doing? I mean, you're not even
if you're not gauge whatsoever, you have no desire to
be here. You're just giving you know, five six word answers, cliches.
You look, you look freaking miserable, Like what.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Are you doing?
Speaker 3 (23:22):
You know what I would wonder? I wonder what his
pressers are gonna be at North Carolina Now. I might
actually go into the North Carolina football YouTube page and
go watch a little bit just to see his different
demeanor and there maybe that maybe that's just who he
is personally, but but like I want to see if
he's also or it's completely changed his tone and turned
into a talkable, you know, fun loving because also, I mean,
(23:45):
if you're if you're Steve Belichick, you're also in that
job right now with probably a thought of okay in
a few years, yeah, okay, I I see where life is.
I see where God he is just so not.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
A ceo man, not that Belichick wasn't right, but Belichick
was blessed with Tom Brady. Yeah, and Bill Belichick won
thirteen games every year and could just go out there
and mumble his way through a press conference, just say
whatever the hell he wanted to, and nobody gave it. Damn,
Steve Belichick's not going to be able to do that.
Steve Belichick, to me, looks massively uncomfortable in front of
(24:17):
a camera. He looks like he would rather be doing
nineteen thousand other things besides that interview. And I'm just
closing my eyes and imagining if he ever takes over
the Carolina program and he acts that way, right, I mean,
like like you did at Washington and like his dad
did when he was the coach of the Patriots. Hey,
that'll fly when you're kicking ass, big boy, But when
you're losing games and you're not winning championships the way
(24:39):
Pops did, forget about it.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
I'm honestly, this is kind of funny because it kind
of connects right now to Sanders, where I think, when
you put this is just me kind of spitballing. But
when you're a son of somebody who's done so many
great things and exudes themselves in such a way. We're
obviously Dion Sanders is flash primetime, right, and Bill Belichick
is you know, I am not even I am the
greatest so that I get to you, but just sort
(25:03):
of like, listen, I've done all these things, and I
don't have to necessarily give you the time of day.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Ex reporter. Right.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
So if you are a son watching your father behave
a certain way, naturally that's gonna probably run off on
you as a rub off on you as a son
in some ways. So you see your door, you know,
the lights are bright, and behaving certain ways in interviews,
et cetera. And then Steve behaving sorts of ways and
press conferences. It certainly shows that these sons are taking
(25:30):
after their fathers.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
A little bits, no question, and no question.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Obviously that's going to be a problem when you haven't
done what your father has done.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Don't you do things that your dad does? By the way,
all I'll call you out for doing things that your
dad does.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Like my dad.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
My dad would come over to the house and he
would open the refrigerator and the cupboard door and just.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Stare at it.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
He would come over and open that thing and just
for literally thirty five forty seconds, and they would go
back five minutes later and do it again.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Guess who's doing that?
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Now?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Okay, we'll get a break. How about we mix things
up little fun with audio.
Speaker 4 (26:04):

Speaker 1 (27:03):
What do you want from me?
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Nothing from you? No, I'm just making it clear. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Your mic is off, by the way. You know that, right, Okay,
there you go through that.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
I am known for my cackle and I'm not going
to be ashamed for it.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I don't know what to tell you, Jackson, volume so loud,
just an observation.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Well, we are in quite sar copany here.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Well, but you like this stadium, right because you told
me off the air you wanted to come in place
for the re old college football stadium.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
So nice to have you here.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I'm turning your mic off, by the way, because I
have that power, all right. During the Phillies national game
yesterday at NB Sports Philadelphia, John Krook sharing a story
about how he thought he was getting arrested in Portland, Oregon.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
As a rookie. You should never slouch.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
You shouldn't slouch, John, especially if you're a Portland Oregon.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
You shouldn't slauch in Portland.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
You shouldn't.
Speaker 10 (27:52):
I got a letter from a guy in Portland said
I sloughed. He said, I look like an eighty year old.
Never tell you I almost got arrested in.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Doesn't surprise me, though you never told me what were
you doing in Portland? I would played minor league.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
Yeah, rookie bar I got arrested, handcuff put in the
back of a cop car.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Was it the staken identity? Oh? Tony Gwen had.
Speaker 10 (28:15):
A friend who was a pop up card and he
had me arrested. Scared?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I mean I was that paying like man. No, I
had a few beers, but I what the hell did
I end up doing? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (28:28):
A lot of a lot of bad thoughts when you're
handcuffed in the back of a pod of car.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
Imagine you were pranked by a Hall of Famer John
and you didn't even know it was all.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Jackson. Never been arrested.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
No, I have not saftie of you.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I have, yeah, twice. What's so?
Speaker 3 (28:44):
What's the mindset in the back of a cop car?
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Hands scared out of my You know what? I was
thirteen years old.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
I got busted for car prowling outside the Bellevue Police Department,
which is a stupid thing. You gonna go lifting up
car handles? Why would you do it in the parking
lot of a police station?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
What were you thinking?
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I think subconsciously, I was trying to get back at
my parents for kicking me out of the car making
me walk home, because that's what it happened.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
I see, So I need another ride. How about I
use a police car.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Uh, I'm gonna go car prowling and lifting up car
handles and breaking into cars and let's pick a police
station parking lot. As a thirteen year old, Yes, thirteen
years old, I got busted a beat out in bookstore
and w square, ripping off a penthouse magazine. Uh, Target
Storia and also, uh, what was the name of that
auto supply store in Eastgate?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I forgot shucks Shucks auto supply.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Listen, I think I get for a pen house though
that that makes a fair bit more sense.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
I went through a bit of a klepto phase, Jackson.
I think everybody's aware of that by now, Yet here
I am today.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Man, it's unbelievable. All right, hey, Jackson, did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Sports Net New York broadcasters Gary Cone Keith Hernandez during
the Mets call reacting to a misscall by homeplate umpire
John Bacon during the Mets loss to the d Backs yesterday.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
What's you coming up?
Speaker 6 (29:59):
And in?
Speaker 9 (29:59):
I think hit the bat that should be a foul
tip strike three. But that's not a reviewable play either.
John Bacon does not seem to know the difference if
you have a ball hitting a bat and a bat
hitting a glove that was clearly a foul tip.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
To strike three. Oh wow, I mean, come on, I mean,
what's going on? Cape two series in a row? Hel
stinko thing? They go.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
I love it, man, And I think I've thought this
for a couple of years, and I think even more now.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I think gumpires are fighting back.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
I think gumpires know that sky Net's coming to replace
them one day and eventually all of them will be
out of jobs, and they are just going down and
they are setting the place on fire before they take off, Jackson.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
They certainly are. And I think that the only question
left as a baseball fan is how soon can this end?
Speaker 9 (30:52):
Well?
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Can we?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I get it, Manfred, you have to go through various
stages and tests and steps and trip awa. But like
at a certain point, you just gotta stop the revolution
and stop the revolt before it right, just just end it,
just end. I don't care if there's mistakes initially, There's
gonna be hiccups in any technological revolution. Just let's just
let's just get to it already.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
But how much of baseball and the romanticism of baseball
that we love is bitching about umpires? And it goes
away right when Skynett takes over and Wally takes over
and the robots are two D two and the C
three po. I mean, we're not complaining anymore. There's there's
nothing to complain about. I'm gonna miss that.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Man.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Can you imagine a world where Lou Panella is not
tearing an umpire a new a hole?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
You like to complain?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
I love to complain, and I love watching Panella complain.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Can you imagine a like I have a picture at home,
signed by Lou Panella of him chucking second base down.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
The bass pass.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
And if we have these robots, right, if we have
the Ameral Quick Casino tracker just doing all this dirty
work for us, we.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Don't get any of that. Man, I don't want that
going away. I don't like complaining. I don't like having
additional crap.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
You don't like complaining?
Speaker 4 (32:04):
You're kidding me, You're right, You've got a master's degree
in bitching and moaning.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I hear it every single day. What are you talking about? Man?
Softy believe about? All right? Hey Jackson?
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Hey Jackson, did you I'm not I'm admitting I complain
to I don't saying you don't complain.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
I don't like having extra things to complain about.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
All right, hey Jackson? One more? Did you happen to
hear that? Alright? Three? Or four? Pick one? Finally?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
All right, four, because it's timely.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
All right?
Speaker 4 (32:31):
After the Knicks comeback to win to advance to the
Eastern Canference SEMIS last night, ESPN NB analyst Jay Williams
joining get up this morning and made a claim about
New York star guard Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 11 (32:43):
I said it last year, and I'm going to say
it again. And I know that he has to close
the deal and win a championship. A lot of that
is roster construction, the right pieces. I don't think they're
actually gonna have a chance against the Boston Celtics, but
I think we're watching the greatest Nick ever to play
in that Nick uniform. I firmly believe that he embodies
(33:05):
everything that I think.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Fraser Patrick Ewing, Wow, Walt Fraser, Jalen Brunson, I mean, hey,
he may eventually be right.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I don't think he's right right now.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
He's not right on May second of twenty twenty five,
but he's on that potential trajectory, no doubt where he
one day could be that guy. The difference between him
and Fraser and Ewing is those guys at least played
in the NBA finals.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
I mean if Jalen Brunson is the first star to
get the Knicks to the NBA Finals and to win
a championship since the early seventies right in New York,
as they made it against the Rockets in the mid
nineties during the OJ Chase, the Knicks win in the
NBA Finals, but they need to win a title, and
whoever wins a title in New York, whether he deserves
(33:51):
it or not, his stock is going to be artificially
inflated because the guy brought home the championship.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Softy, just a quick question before he break. Do you
think Jessman's head is going to explode in this Nick
Celtics series since she roots for both teams.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Yeah, roots for both teams even worse than Dick Fane
rooting friggin zag and dub. I think it's the worst
thing I've ever heard of a sports fan, honestly.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
I mean, coming up.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Next to we'll talk to a guy that roots for
Alabama and Auburn. Then we'll have a guy on the
air that roots for Michigan and Michigan State, and then
we'll have somebody on the air that roots for North
and South Korea at the same time. Mina Kime's gonna
join us next on ninety three to three KJRFM.
This from forty two.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Good snap, good hold, kick is on the way, kick
us up, end over and kick.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
D dest been missed, ride be missed him.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I don't believe it came.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I don't believe in.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
It's pandemonium in Husky Stadium.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
You're not keeping him off the field.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Here?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Can the Dogs defense get the stuff? On fourth and eleven,
Yours takes a shotgun snap, He's back to past pressure,
coming throws, the fadee knocked.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yam Elishah Jackson knocks the ball away.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
The Huskies are headed to Houston.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Cody Ley. They said, Olaci Jaxon, maybe.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
How about that?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Have you heard those calls by the winding? No, I'm
not okay, Well, we're gonna let Zion go. But then
we say, you know what, what the hell? We got
two hours before pregame, two and a half hours for kickoff.
May as well keep you around while we have you
and keep talking dogs. But that guy that was losing
his freaking mind on radio is sitting right next to
us and Cam Cleveland, how are you pal?
Speaker 5 (01:17):
I'm doing okay, yeah, yeah, man, Just I'm just here
to be calm.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You know you're not No, You're not just.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Want to be honest with you, just one of you.
Real it's not how I usually call football, but no,
that's hey, No, reality is the mo You get a
little emotional. You're you're invested in this sport, right ze
do I'm telling you you just wait wait till their
time comes when you see that playing. That might happen today,
maybe a little bit later down the road. But there's
there's a few things that you let unleash. Sure suddenly
(01:46):
of course.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well if you do that tonight during the spring game,
you got a problem.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Man, Really, this.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Is a p You know that we got a good team.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
That's right, If you do that tonight, I don't know, man,
Either a leg zion said, these guys are gonna go
win then, or there's something wrong with you.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
But cam Cleveland just stopped by with us, fresh off
a great night.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Sleet at the Sleep at the Sober Cloud Hotel stadium. Man,
getting put up like a king down there. You're enjoying
yourself at the Silver Cloud.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
It's an amazing spot. It's right down there next to
the T Mobile Park and I got an awesome spot
to stay getting hooked up with that. The beds are fantastic.
The people are great, the parking, everything about that place
and the convenience of it has been one nothing but
first plass.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
My favorite thing. There's a bar downstairs.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Man.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's my absolutely right about that place.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
So I was just telling Zion before we kind of
you know, get your thoughts and what we're going to
see tonight, and really, I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We got a guy like this to sit down with you.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
You gotta reminisce and talk about that twenty twenty three season.
You mentioned we had Jackson. I think we asked him
off on the air for his favorite game, and you
said that Oregon game when Camden Lewis missed that fuel goal,
and you said you have not heard that call up
until now.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
No, Wow, I mean I've heard. I feel like maybe
I just wasn't paying attention to the yelling in the background,
you know, because I've heard Tony for sure. But I
mean I think we used them over a couple edits right,
So but yeah, you're going crazy in the background.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
I mean that such a tone for how we celebrated
that night too.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So oh yeah, tell us about that. We've never talked
about that.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
But there might have been a small celebration after.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Tell me about that, so that that game ends like
around what four o'clock, four thirty years sold I remember, correctly,
tell me about your your evening that night, Saturday night.
Speaker 7 (03:20):
Yeah, it was one of those times where there's a
lot of guys you know that, but maybe you didn't
like to go out on the team. But there were
a few wins where it's like if you put that
jersey on and during those four quarters you have to
be there mandatory, like even penn X would be like
like even if you show up for a little bit,
like this is a team celebration, right, So.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Where were you? You remember whose house?
Speaker 6 (03:42):
I think we edited up downtown.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Holding it.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
I don't remember everything now I'm good.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I shouldn't remember everything.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
It could be the blur.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Yeah, but it's good.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
I mean we I know, for me and Devin, you know,
we walked back to the parking lot with our families
and we could barely get to our cars, you know
without you know, drink this take that.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
You know Huscanation. You know, I was like, Mom, I
guess you're driving me home.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
You know.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
So it was fun, you know, and seeing Husky Nation
on all tends like that. Oh, is there's just no
better feeling.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Well, you gotta you gotta tell Canon the story that
you just told us on the air about what you
thought was going on in the game.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Will you we please tell him? Go ahead?
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Please?
Speaker 7 (04:22):
There was a handful of us that weren't really cognizant
of the score when the kick happened.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
I personally thought we were up for Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I told him, then why would they be kicking a filal?
Speaker 6 (04:37):
And I was like, I mean, just to make the
score look prettier. I don't know, like they had already
conceded the feet there.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Be invested in the game, and be invested in the moment,
not the score.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Literally literally.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
It took the crowd reacting for me to be like,
was that the time?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I was like, how freaking funny is that? I've never
heard that before? But I've never heard that one. I'm
just wondering what was higher the number of points you
scored to your blood alcohol level going to the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
By the way, after that game was over, man, but that.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
That season, you know, it's almost like we were robbed
of reminiscing about it, right because of what happened with
Kaylan so.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Zion.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I want to get your thoughts on this, and then
we'll talk more about what's going to happen that night
a little bit. We had Kaelan on Jackson what day
was it? Was it Monday that Kaylen was on the
show because the Seahawks draft of Jalen Milroe out of Alabama.
So naturally we texted Kaylen Nick Sheridan. You know, Nick
was on our show on Saturday morning as well. And
Jackson can vouch for this. There were some Husky fans
(05:36):
that were pissed that he was coming on the show. Right,
A lot of Husky fans are sour with him, angry
with him. What do you say to Husky fans that
have that opinion of Kaylen? To Boor and how do
you view Kaylen de Bor after he bolted for Alabama?
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Yeah, I have no ill will towards towards Kaylen to boy,
We've actually talked multiple times since his departure. I was
one of the first hits that he actually had seen.
He was coming into the building and I was scheduling
my surgery and so we had cross paths while he's
walking into the team meeting to let them know, and
so I just I just kind of hit him, you know,
like you can tell me, you know, like I'm no
(06:09):
longer in the building, and he just kind of, you know,
it gives me a shake, like it was a hard
decision for him. That's what I think people have to remember.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Like this is just the state of college football today,
and it's Alabama, you know.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
I mean, obviously I love you Dubb and I love
I think we're a prestigious university, but in recency bias especially,
I mean, they're they're one of the most chided universities
in college football today.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Zion.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I'll let me piggyback off this because I love asking
guys that have been just recent football. I'm on the outside.
I'm an old old dog that watches it, but I'm
still around it and I have boys now that are
gonna be in college football. Tell me you said it's changing,
and just the landscape of how you're seeing it changes.
What do you see that college football and University Washington
and how you compete at the level to get to
(06:56):
the twelve playoffs? What do teams have to do? And
do you like the idea of the players having more
power now to be able to play this sport?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
I like the.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
Freedom to pursue opportunity because I think a lot of
guys used to feel stuck in their situation and kind
of maybe hope that the ball rolls their way or
you know, have to decide between sitting out that year
when I started, that was the rule. And so I think,
you know, if it's not what you thought it was
to be, if it's you know, maybe the opportunity isn't
(07:26):
all it presented it enough to be, then yeah, like
go find something else. I don't like the fact where
it's it's like you're almost one of the coaches. They're
not allowed to inconvenience their players, like you're there to
be coached. I think nobody came into college a full
proof NFL product.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You know.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
That's why we're not allowed to do one and done's
in this sport, right And so you know, if you're
not allowed, if you're not allowing yourself to be culchable,
and you're just seeking the easiest opportunity, I mean, I'm
sure you can find it, and I'm sure the money
is there to be found, but it's also what are
you getting out of it on the back end?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Can I another thing? I want you to really hit
on For me is the importance of the locker room
because there's those that are out that are listening goes,
there's the haves and the have nots, there's the money
in the locker room. Did that change at all the atmosphere?
Your guys walk around and I got more than you
and I got more than you or was it just
we're still playing football. There's no dollar signs in the
locker room. When guys are getting ready to play, everybody
(08:16):
puts the same jersey on. Did that change the atmosphere?
Speaker 8 (08:20):
Not?
Speaker 9 (08:20):
Not?
Speaker 6 (08:20):
When I was in the locker room, I think it
was almost one of it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
It was still kind of growing when you were there.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Yeah, it was. It was definitely a lot smaller than
it is today, for sure. But I think we also.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Made it a point where that's not like we don't
talk numbers in the locker room, Like if you want
to share your number, you know what I mean, that's
a you you outside the locker room conversation, but like
you're never gonna come in this locker room and be
like that guy's getting paid more than me, you know,
you know, because it's almost your value is set before
before you go out there. Like if you're a freshman,
(08:50):
you know what I mean, Like your your value set
before you even take a snap, and so now maybe
your value has changed, kind of like this Neco situation, right,
Like maybe your value.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
It's amazing now, well looking at this.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Maybe your value has changed and you can seek to
be compensated for that. But like there's you know, I
like there Just because you're you can doesn't mean you should,
you know, Like I like, I think about that ECO situation.
I think he got bad, bad news and it you know,
a bad person in his ear because it's I do
think he had a great season. I think he's a
great talent, but I mean is tape will tell you
(09:23):
that his numbers were frontloaded, and you know how SEC
schedules their games and so the production, Yeah, it has
to be against top talent if you want to. I mean,
he wanted to double his salary, right, So I don't know. Obviously,
if your productions there and you feel like your value
is not met, then yeah, I'd say negotiate with your
university because I think that was a good thing that
(09:43):
the board did with us. Obviously, like I said, the
numbers were a lot smaller than it is today. But
he was able to see like, Okay, like I know
this is what you got last year. We're gonna give
you a little bit more, you know than we want
to build this, retain this, and so obviously the coaches
gotta think you're worth it, the program's gotta think you're
worth it. And but go out there and improve your word.
(10:05):
That's that's all. Yeah, like a little bit of that.
And you're prically don't be set by gouging or whatever
what is it called now when they when they talk
too soon. But like you're, you're it shouldn't be set
from someone trying to poach you from your team, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
It should be set from sure your own team well
and that and that.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Honestly, I mean, look, I'm not overly concerned about it
with like a kid like demand, but what I would
love to see is guys commit to four year contracts,
you know. I mean, look, you show up here and
it's a you know, it's basically a one year deal.
You know, I don't mind kids getting paid. I just
want some structure for God's sake, right, and you know,
a four year commitment. And if we decide the two
of us, I'm your coach or the player that it's
(10:44):
better off for you and not of part ways than fine.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
That's I'm totally fine with that. But I just think
there needs to be.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Some kind of commitment because I'm getting tired of seeing
new guys every single year, and it's hard for fans
to fall in love with players when they have no
idea if the guy's going to stick around. But Cam
Cleland Zion tuopol off a twoy ZTF with us here
at ub getting ready for the Dogs after dark game
coming up, pregame at six, kickoff at six thirty right
here on ninety three.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
To three KJRFM.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
So how I was on with the radio station in
North Dakota the other day talking about Gray's Abel, who
the Hawks just took at number eighteen, and they asked me, hey,
you know, what are fans thinking about you, Dub?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Are they are? They? Are?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
They pleased with the progress the programs made. And I
said to the guys on the air, I think they've
done about as good as they could do, you know,
considering the situation they were in. I mean, my god,
those couple of weeks and months after kayl and left
were like it was like a bomb went off right,
nobody left for crying out loud. So you tell me,
Zion will start with you. How do you think this
program has recovered since then?
Speaker 6 (11:44):
I think we've we're in a good position.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Obviously not what we wanted last year to be, but
we didn't know what we were what last year could
have been, you know, and so we finished with our record,
but we could easily be watching the games back two
three more wins. And I think that's kind of the
promising feature that you held on to from last year,
especially knowing that we had kind of the guy coming
(12:07):
up behind Will Rogers, that we were easing into the role.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
And I think it's important to talk like last night
as an alumni hanging out. And I think and I
mentioned it this morning when I was on with Chuck
and Buck, but I'll say it again. Those didn't hear it.
Coach Fish said, it's a drastic change from last year
to this year. You had sixty five guys on a
roster in the spring game. You had seven offensive linemen.
Last year you couldn't even dress Edward black shirts because
you didn't even have enough guys. You now have seventeen.
(12:33):
You had two quarterbacks, you now have five. You went
from sixty five to a roster of ninety five. You're
gonna add ten more. You got twenty five freshmen coming in.
You have an adjustment of a roster now that have
to stay at one oh five. Things have to fluctuate
at least until the judge rule comes down about what
we do with walk ons. There's so much more depth,
there's more change, there's more investment. But guys, I'll tell
(12:55):
you what the one thing that you see every year
is He mentioned this. He said, I told the guys,
if two, if anybody goes in the portal, okay, we
don't go to the portal. That's what coach Fas says.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
What does that mean? What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
He said, if nobody leaves for the portal, I'm not
going after everybody to the portal. I like who we
have here. I like what we have here.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
So he's only into the portal off one of his
guys leaves, and so it's meaning he's not looking to upgrade.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
And look, Dave, here's here's a stat that might blow
your mind. Thirty one guys across all Division I Power
five football, there's thirty one guys on average leave every year.
In the spring. Wow, okay, per team. So if you
can hold your core and he said, I'm getting after
twenty five guys and we have twenty eight guys committed
for the next year out of high school. That means
you're building high school. You're not building through the transfer portal.
(13:39):
So he's committed in that mindset. And I value that
tremendously because you're in the development of talent, but you
also have to hold your talent when they're good here.
So it's that's why you're gonna need a CEO, and
you're gonna need a general manager, and you're gonna have
to invest in all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Zion, before you go, before we let you go, are
outside of Demond, who are the stars on this team?
Here are the guys that you tell your buddies, man,
look out for this guy, look out for that guy.
This guy's a beast. He's gonna blow up. Nobody's talking
about him. I got a couple of guys at the
top of my head, but I want to hear your
thoughts on kind of a couple of players on the
football team that you really think might be stars that
(14:14):
maybe we're not talking about, that we might see tonight.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Not talking about that's that's interesting.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
I think, you know, we have the star running back
and Coleman's uh maybe a little underrated star in Zel.
I think with Giles and a couple of guys leaving
the wide receiver room, I to keep your eye off
for Rashid as well. He very He was getting playing
time when we were, when I was playing, and so
he's very talented young receivers kind of just needs the
opportunity to find him, and so I'm excited for him.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
But yeah, and you know, like the get like the
we went.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
Over the guys on the roster that I did play with,
I've always rooting for them, so hopefully I can see
some flashes. I know a couple of them may not
be playing tonight. And derrif An the NQ, but did
be good to see him out there when the time comes, no.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Question, all right, you guys want to go upstair and
do the whole like we gotta go to work, gass
thing for work. Now they're about to set up a
buffet by the way, so you guys won't want to
hang down here. To be totally honest with you, all right, Zion,
you're the man great stuff. Go do some stuff upstairs. Cam,
you're the man. Good stuff. We're gonna break. Jackson Feltz
is back in the studio as well. We got a
lot more to get to coming up right here on
ninety three three kJ RFM on.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
Casting live from the R and R Foundation specialist Brod
Jazz Studio. Now back to Softie and Dig powered by
Emerald Queen Casino, the Betty and Capital of the Northwest
on Sports Radio and Natty's three point three kJ R FM.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
All right, boys and girls, here back inside Husky Stadium.
I am staring down the barrel Jackson of the East
goal post by the way, right behind the famous goal
posts where the game winning kick against Washington State in
twenty twenty three was made by our friend Grady Gross,
who's still here, by the way. Amazing the guy's still
(15:58):
here while so many players leave. Grady has stuck around
at Washington. But hey, big thanks to Cam cleland ZTF
for coming by, Yogi Roth, Tony castro Cone.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
We can breathe here a little bit.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Meat to Time's gonna join us at five o'clock from ESPN.
Get her thoughts on the draft recap, everything I want
to ask her about her her own company continuing to
push this Bill Belichick's girlfriend story down my friggin throat.
It's on the front page of their website as we
speak right now. So I mean, like, I kind of understand.
I know, Jackson, you and I I think are kind
of on the same page with why should we care
(16:31):
about this stuff? I think from a North Carolina perspective,
it matters. I don't really know if it matters much
to the rest of the country, but I also do
think that there is there's a little bit of scandalous
nature to this kind of story, right, Like why do
people stop and read the tabloids when they're waiting online
to check out of the grocery store. Why do people
watch soap operas, Why do people watch The Bachelor and
(16:53):
The Bachelor Rette.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Why do they watch reality TV shows?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Because they want to know what the hell is happening
in somebody else's private life.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That's why I said this to you a couple of
days ago with Hugh and Hugh and I think he
Hugh didn't exactly agree with this, but I would come.
I would compare this to like the Kardashians and for
people who are into reality TV and people who follow
like my wife loves to watch the Real Housewife shows
and it's kind of just it's it's just her turn
(17:20):
off the brain and and don't care about all the
other stuff going on in the world. And like I think,
I think for those kind of people, the Kardashians is
the tabloids. It's it's kind of the thing of you're
you're gonna have an eye on it because it's just
so scandalous. This Belichick girlfriend's story is the scandalous Kardashian
story for sports fans, and I listen, it's just it's
(17:41):
so stupid and we shouldn't be giving an inth of
a degree of attention to it, but here we are
because of how scandalous it is.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Well, let me ask you a question, because it's it's
it's easy for us to excuse me kind of point
fingers and mock and joke and laugh and talk about
creepy it is.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
And would Millan say.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
The word for people that love older people jendrapheliac or
whatever the hell it's called, or something like that, whatever
word he made up on the ear dastrophilia, Yeah, something
like that. It's Millan's deal, not mine, right, But if
this was our head coach. Like, let's say Jedfish is
really seventy four years old and he's got a girlfriend
that's fifty years old younger or fifty years younger than
(18:23):
he is. And there's moments in time and video surfacing
where she's ordering the coach around, and she's cutting cameras off,
and she's on the practice field handing out notes to
people and getting in Bill's ears he's running drills. I
think that would bother me. That would bother me a
lot as a husky foot. Now that's not what's going
(18:45):
on there, clearly, But I'm just saying, if you swap
Carolina and all of a sudden you put you dub
in the name, that would be like kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I'm like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Like what if we turned this thing into It's kind
of a zoo, it's kind of a circus. So I
get from a Carolina perspective, why for them it might
be a massive deal in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Just and I've watched the video of her going onto
the field and quickly saying something and then to a
coach and then walking off, And like, I think the
base question that should be asked right now, if you're
a North Carolina fan, is how much of a distraction
or how much of an influence is she actually making
right now?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Right right? Is she?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Is it just coming in for a second to say
something and then walking out? But the fact that shows
but the fact that sorry just or is it her
actually giving advice of let's do this this way, let's
do this appum sure, But.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
The fact that we even need to worry about that,
that's the story that's good. Right The fact that you
and I as North Carolina football fans or insert team
ay here or whatever, let's just say, if it was
happening at you, dub, I'd be like, really, are you
a freaking kid?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Me? Like, this is what we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
I mean, we're trying to bounce back here, we're trying
to get back to you know, a rose ball play
for it, and we're talking about if the freaking head
coach's girlfriend has too much power over the football.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
That's the conversation we're having.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
That's the kind of stuff that they're talking about right
now in North Carolina. So again, from their perspective, I
think it's a I understand why they want to know
what the hell is going on.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I also think, I mean there's a juicy element to
it obviously, right.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
I mean there's been how many stories have we talked
about on this radio show? How many stories have we
covered on this radio station where it really there's nothing tangible, right,
there's no real life impact to any event. We're just
talking about stuff because it's fun to talk about, right,
And there's a scandalous, potentially juicy nature to it that
(20:34):
you know, every human being kind of digs their nose
and puts their nose where it doesn't belong, sticks their
face where it doesn't belong.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
There's been a lot of stories like.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
That that we've covered that really don't have any impact
on anything we're doing in real life. But I do
think from the NFL perspective, Hey, there was a conversation
going on, and we'll ask Mina about this about whether
or not Bill Belichick whatever coach in the NFL one day.
And this is one of those things that you've got
to consider and discuss if you do end up hiring
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Has he kind of has he gone off the deep
end of the pool? Right?
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Is he to a point where, all right, the guy's
got a girlfriend that's fifty years younger than he is,
who's hanging around and who knows what influencing him and
doing this and doing.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
That, you know it taking all these weird pictures.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
I mean, it's like, we make fun of Russell Wilson,
but there were Wasn't there a photo set that they
did where they were mermaids? I'm like, what the hell's
going on here? Awesome is Bill freakin' Belichick. He's the
maybe the greatest coach in the history of the NFL,
and he's taking pictures of a mermaid costume with a twenty.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Five year old I mean, like, what's going on around here?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I will say as a as a sports fan, it
was a very enjoyable picture. To uh, I don't know
how right I get it.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
It was a hilarious photo for a lot of reasons.
But I will say, like, if you're an NFL owner
and you're watching all this happen, and you look at
the mermaid photo and all this, like, unless you just
want to bring drama and and bring you know, the
coverage and just all you care about is the cameras
in your building, maybe you bring him on, But I
don't think that's probably not any owner in National Football League.
(22:05):
If you're an owner who cares about winning and cares
about his coach being fully focused on winning, which is
all of them, I think, then there is no chance
you ever bring Billy Belichick. And given the situation he
now has it with his girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yeah, no, I think you're right.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
I think he's lessening his odds of coaching one day
in the NFL if that's what he wants to do.
I mean, I've got a theory on all of this
that Frankly, I think he just took the Carolina job
to give.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
It to Steve.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Yeah, that's just what I thought from the start. I mean,
I've never wavered in that aspect. I mean, I see
Steve Belichick had no desire to be here at Washington none.
I mean it was like, honestly, when he did those
press conferences, it was like he literally sat on a
knife that went right through his groin when he was
doing those press conferences.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
And Brendan Carroll was kind of right there with him,
by the way.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
I mean, those guys had just noticed, like I literally,
and I've told Dick this before, there was a couple
of press conferences.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I'm not sure what game. It was where I literally was.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Sitting there, uh in the in the uh in the
press conference room, and I wanted to ask Steve like
why are you here? Like not why are you here
at you dubb but why are you here talking to us?
Like what are you doing? I mean, you're not even
if you're not gauge whatsoever, you have no desire to
be here. You're just giving you know, five six word answers, cliches.
You look, you look freaking miserable, Like what.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Are you doing?
Speaker 3 (23:22):
You know what I would wonder? I wonder what his
pressers are gonna be at North Carolina Now. I might
actually go into the North Carolina football YouTube page and
go watch a little bit just to see his different
demeanor and there maybe that maybe that's just who he
is personally, but but like I want to see if
he's also or it's completely changed his tone and turned
into a talkable, you know, fun loving because also, I mean,
(23:45):
if you're if you're Steve Belichick, you're also in that
job right now with probably a thought of okay in
a few years, yeah, okay, I I see where life is.
I see where God he is just so not.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
A ceo man, not that Belichick wasn't right, but Belichick
was blessed with Tom Brady. Yeah, and Bill Belichick won
thirteen games every year and could just go out there
and mumble his way through a press conference, just say
whatever the hell he wanted to, and nobody gave it. Damn,
Steve Belichick's not going to be able to do that.
Steve Belichick, to me, looks massively uncomfortable in front of
(24:17):
a camera. He looks like he would rather be doing
nineteen thousand other things besides that interview. And I'm just
closing my eyes and imagining if he ever takes over
the Carolina program and he acts that way, right, I mean,
like like you did at Washington and like his dad
did when he was the coach of the Patriots. Hey,
that'll fly when you're kicking ass, big boy, But when
you're losing games and you're not winning championships the way
(24:39):
Pops did, forget about it.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
I'm honestly, this is kind of funny because it kind
of connects right now to Sanders, where I think, when
you put this is just me kind of spitballing. But
when you're a son of somebody who's done so many
great things and exudes themselves in such a way. We're
obviously Dion Sanders is flash primetime, right, and Bill Belichick
is you know, I am not even I am the
greatest so that I get to you, but just sort
(25:03):
of like, listen, I've done all these things, and I
don't have to necessarily give you the time of day.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Ex reporter. Right.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
So if you are a son watching your father behave
a certain way, naturally that's gonna probably run off on
you as a rub off on you as a son
in some ways. So you see your door, you know,
the lights are bright, and behaving certain ways in interviews,
et cetera. And then Steve behaving sorts of ways and
press conferences. It certainly shows that these sons are taking
(25:30):
after their fathers.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
A little bits, no question, and no question.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Obviously that's going to be a problem when you haven't
done what your father has done.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Don't you do things that your dad does? By the way,
all I'll call you out for doing things that your
dad does.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Like my dad.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
My dad would come over to the house and he
would open the refrigerator and the cupboard door and just.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Stare at it.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
He would come over and open that thing and just
for literally thirty five forty seconds, and they would go
back five minutes later and do it again.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Guess who's doing that?

yesterday at NB Sports Philadelphia, John Krook sharing a story
about how he thought he was getting arrested in Portland, Oregon.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
As a rookie. You should never slouch.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
You shouldn't slouch, John, especially if you're a Portland Oregon.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
You shouldn't slauch in Portland.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
You shouldn't.
Speaker 10 (27:52):
I got a letter from a guy in Portland said
I sloughed. He said, I look like an eighty year old.
Never tell you I almost got arrested in.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Doesn't surprise me, though you never told me what were
you doing in Portland? I would played minor league.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
Yeah, rookie bar I got arrested, handcuff put in the
back of a cop car.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Was it the staken identity? Oh? Tony Gwen had.
Speaker 10 (28:15):
A friend who was a pop up card and he
had me arrested. Scared?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I mean I was that paying like man. No, I
had a few beers, but I what the hell did
I end up doing? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (28:28):
A lot of a lot of bad thoughts when you're
handcuffed in the back of a pod of car.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
Imagine you were pranked by a Hall of Famer John
and you didn't even know it was all.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Jackson. Never been arrested.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
No, I have not saftie of you.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I have, yeah, twice. What's so?
Speaker 3 (28:44):
What's the mindset in the back of a cop car?
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Hands scared out of my You know what? I was
thirteen years old.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
I got busted for car prowling outside the Bellevue Police Department,
which is a stupid thing. You gonna go lifting up
car handles? Why would you do it in the parking
lot of a police station?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
What were you thinking?
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I think subconsciously, I was trying to get back at
my parents for kicking me out of the car making
me walk home, because that's what it happened.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
I see, So I need another ride. How about I
use a police car.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Uh, I'm gonna go car prowling and lifting up car
handles and breaking into cars and let's pick a police
station parking lot. As a thirteen year old, Yes, thirteen
years old, I got busted a beat out in bookstore
and w square, ripping off a penthouse magazine. Uh, Target
Storia and also, uh, what was the name of that
auto supply store in Eastgate?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I forgot shucks Shucks auto supply.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Listen, I think I get for a pen house though
that that makes a fair bit more sense.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
I went through a bit of a klepto phase, Jackson.
I think everybody's aware of that by now, Yet here
I am today.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Man, it's unbelievable. All right, hey, Jackson, did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Sports Net New York broadcasters Gary Cone Keith Hernandez during
the Mets call reacting to a misscall by homeplate umpire
John Bacon during the Mets loss to the d Backs yesterday.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
What's you coming up?
Speaker 6 (29:59):
And in?
Speaker 9 (29:59):
I think hit the bat that should be a foul
tip strike three. But that's not a reviewable play either.
John Bacon does not seem to know the difference if
you have a ball hitting a bat and a bat
hitting a glove that was clearly a foul tip.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
To strike three. Oh wow, I mean, come on, I mean,
what's going on? Cape two series in a row? Hel
stinko thing? They go.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
I love it, man, And I think I've thought this
for a couple of years, and I think even more now.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I think gumpires are fighting back.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
I think gumpires know that sky Net's coming to replace
them one day and eventually all of them will be
out of jobs, and they are just going down and
they are setting the place on fire before they take off, Jackson.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
They certainly are. And I think that the only question
left as a baseball fan is how soon can this end?
Speaker 9 (30:52):
Well?
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Can we?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I get it, Manfred, you have to go through various
stages and tests and steps and trip awa. But like
at a certain point, you just gotta stop the revolution
and stop the revolt before it right, just just end it,
just end. I don't care if there's mistakes initially, There's
gonna be hiccups in any technological revolution. Just let's just
let's just get to it already.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
But how much of baseball and the romanticism of baseball
that we love is bitching about umpires? And it goes
away right when Skynett takes over and Wally takes over
and the robots are two D two and the C
three po. I mean, we're not complaining anymore. There's there's
nothing to complain about. I'm gonna miss that.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Man.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Can you imagine a world where Lou Panella is not
tearing an umpire a new a hole?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
You like to complain?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
I love to complain, and I love watching Panella complain.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Can you imagine a like I have a picture at home,
signed by Lou Panella of him chucking second base down.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
The bass pass.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
And if we have these robots, right, if we have
the Ameral Quick Casino tracker just doing all this dirty
work for us, we.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Don't get any of that. Man, I don't want that
going away. I don't like complaining. I don't like having
additional crap.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
You don't like complaining?
Speaker 4 (32:04):
You're kidding me, You're right, You've got a master's degree
in bitching and moaning.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I hear it every single day. What are you talking about? Man?
Softy believe about? All right? Hey Jackson?
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Hey Jackson, did you I'm not I'm admitting I complain
to I don't saying you don't complain.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
I don't like having extra things to complain about.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
All right, hey Jackson? One more? Did you happen to
hear that? Alright? Three? Or four? Pick one? Finally?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
All right, four, because it's timely.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
All right?
Speaker 4 (32:31):
After the Knicks comeback to win to advance to the
Eastern Canference SEMIS last night, ESPN NB analyst Jay Williams
joining get up this morning and made a claim about
New York star guard Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 11 (32:43):
I said it last year, and I'm going to say
it again. And I know that he has to close
the deal and win a championship. A lot of that
is roster construction, the right pieces. I don't think they're
actually gonna have a chance against the Boston Celtics, but
I think we're watching the greatest Nick ever to play
in that Nick uniform. I firmly believe that he embodies
(33:05):
everything that I think.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Fraser Patrick Ewing, Wow, Walt Fraser, Jalen Brunson, I mean, hey,
he may eventually be right.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I don't think he's right right now.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
He's not right on May second of twenty twenty five,
but he's on that potential trajectory, no doubt where he
one day could be that guy. The difference between him
and Fraser and Ewing is those guys at least played
in the NBA finals.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
I mean if Jalen Brunson is the first star to
get the Knicks to the NBA Finals and to win
a championship since the early seventies right in New York,
as they made it against the Rockets in the mid
nineties during the OJ Chase, the Knicks win in the
NBA Finals, but they need to win a title, and
whoever wins a title in New York, whether he deserves
(33:51):
it or not, his stock is going to be artificially
inflated because the guy brought home the championship.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Softy, just a quick question before he break. Do you
think Jessman's head is going to explode in this Nick
Celtics series since she roots for both teams.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Yeah, roots for both teams even worse than Dick Fane
rooting friggin zag and dub. I think it's the worst
thing I've ever heard of a sports fan, honestly.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
I mean, coming up.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Next to we'll talk to a guy that roots for
Alabama and Auburn. Then we'll have a guy on the
air that roots for Michigan and Michigan State, and then
we'll have somebody on the air that roots for North
and South Korea at the same time. Mina Kime's gonna
join us next on ninety three to three KJRFM.
