Now let's have some fun with audio, all right.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Brian Schmetzer by the way, gonna join us coming up here.
By the way, can I just say one thing. When
you said Johnny Vegas, I was like, who the Hell's
Johnny Vegas. I don't think anybody knows who that is.
You know who Johnny Vegas is? By the way, where's
he from?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
By the way, is it Churis? I don't know who
that is. I've never heard of that. Jonathan Vegas it
for a long time.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I would tell you that ninety nine percent of our
audience has no idea with that. When you said Johnny Vegas,
I thought his name was Johnny something else and his
nickname is Vegas.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Like, who the hell Vegas?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Well, that's the thing with this first round of the
PGA Championship. There is nobody the biggest name. There's no
big name that Actually, Matt Fitzpatrick is tied for ninth
and Kegan Bradley's time for ninth.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Everybody else is a no name right top ten. Johnny
Vegas is Venezuelan. By the way, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
So he is currently leading the PGA Championship through seventeen
at six hundred park. All right, let's get to it,
little jumbo version, extended version, uncut version, non rated version.
Remember back when you were a kid and you watched
a movie and it said n R. You're like, yeah,
hell yeah, let's see some mobies. Let's go play a
(01:22):
boy CHANNW scramble, n R no rating. Damn, Mom and
dad are gone for the night. Let's get after it.
All right, here we go. Hey, Dick, did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
What's that? What's that?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Rich Eisen's going back to ESPN? How about that? And
this morning on WFAN radio in New York City, morning
show host Greg Gaetti had some blunt thoughts on the
state of the rich Eisen Show.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Now all this Rich Eisen stuff that's out there, I
guess he's going back to ESPN. There's so much talk
about rich Eisen. I mean that he's got to be
the most boring talk show host in America. Why is
everybody talking about it? I mean, the talk show is ambient.
Any clip that I see it feels like they're they're
doing a remote from a funeral home.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Wow, I mean it could not be more boring. All right,
So I don't watch his show or listen. I don't.
I mean I see clips every now and then.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
He's got some pretty big name guests coming by his
program every now and then.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I wouldn't know enough.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I mean, Dick watches all this Stuff'll just wait because
so you tell me, is he boring?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
He has never intrigued me. We'll put it that way.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
So, but I haven't watched it. I don't watch nearly
as much as him as I do of like.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Nick Right or Steven A. He is no Nick Right.
Well again, I think all these places, it's like when
schools send out marketing materials for the Heisman Trophy, like
late in the year when they want people to vote
for the Heisman, you get some random you know, Wyoming
Cowboys are sending out all this correspondence on Josh Allen.
All of these talk shows should, if they send out
(02:54):
marketing correspondence, should get Dick Fane's address and send it
to him because they need you.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, you were a pa one. I'm a Heisman voter.
Sports talk, National sports talks crazy. All right, Hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
What's that dick?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
During the Phillies game yesterday on NBC NBC Channel ten,
meteorologists Bill Henley, joining John Kruck and the Booth and
the Guys talked about the reliability of predicting the weather.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Since you started.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
How has technology changed how you do the weather?
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Incredibly.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
It's the data. There's so much more information available now
and the computing power. In the beginning, you know, a
five day forecast.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Was you gonna lie your your ass off knowing what
it know.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
But now ten days we're doing okay.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
You don't guess anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
If you have the data.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
It's the experience. It's not a guess. It is an
educated experience.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
What is keeping a meteorologist, by the way, because everybody's
got a weather app now on their phone, what is
keeping a meteorologist from going onto his iPhone and saying,
all right, TOMORROWHI have fifty six low, forty three, seventy
five percent chance of rain?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Done? Says Apple.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I mean, what was the last time you actually watched
a weather report on television and said.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Honey, I gotta find out what's going on. Well, the
only time I would is like I I'll watch news
before I go.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
To bed, and maybe I haven't checked my weather app
all day, so I don't know what's going on the
conference to come on, you'll watch and it comes on,
it's like, oh, is it gonna rain tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
And so I'll you don't.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I don't even know who the weather people are in
this town anymore. Is Rich Marriott still working? Yes for
King from the morning. Who's the geeky guy on thirteen?
Brian McMillan, right right the glasses. Yeah, he's still there.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Trust you. Sounds like you're And I'm watching the weather much.
I have that. That's why I have two different weather
apps on my phone. Yeah, I mean, come on, there's
just I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
The one thing people can't get artificially anymore is this.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It's great. One day that'll end and Ai'll take over.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
They're gonna clone our voices, clone our faces and just
run us off and have a robot doing the show.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
But until that day, we're golden bad ah ha ha,
what a funny clip.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Well, and.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
To the phone lines we go.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
So AI will really come on the radio and say, ky,
wasn't it wasn't that great?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
When we watched NC seventeen movies.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
That's right, and you saw boobies. That was phenomenal. Okay, hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that day?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
What's that? It's going to four? All right? Four? Which
is really five on this before the number four. I'm confused.
I'm talking about he missed the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
During Angel Reese's rookie season with the Sky last year,
she said, quote, the reason why people are watching women's
basketball is not just because of one person.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's because of me too.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Remember that quote from Angel Reese when she got mad
that everybody was talking about Caitlin clark Well During a
Sky press conference on Tuesday, somebody asked Reese for her thoughts.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Now a year later on that quote.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Last year, you made a powerful statement saying the reason people.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
Are watching women's basketball is not just because of one player,
but because of you two A year A year later,
do you feel like your next question?
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Yeah, we'll move on, thank you, move on to Zoom ESPN.
Speaker 9 (06:06):
Please unmute.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I don't get a dude, why don't you shut that down?
I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I mean, first of all, it sounded to me and
nobody knows for sure, but the line of questioning sounded
like it was going towards a complimentary direction, giving her
a chance to talk about some stuff that maybe she wanted,
and for her to shut it down like that. I
don't know, dude, I just I'll be honest with you.
I don't like her at all. She comes across as
massively unlikable. This gal, well, I think massively.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
A part of it.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You know, there's the Draymond Green side of it, right,
and that's that's what's That's not all this making remarkable. Hey,
she was way better last year than I thought she
was going to be. She scored fourteen points and thirteen rebounds. Again, well,
that's a different conversation. I'm not saying she's not a
bad player. I mean, of course, she's a very good,
incredible basketball player. But this is a gal that went
(06:55):
to a press conference and almost started crying because she
thought she was being sexualised, and then poses in a
bikini for Sports Illustrated and then comes out and wants
credit and attention for what she perceives she helps to build,
and then gets asked about it and shuts it down.
I mean, and there's more examples I can give you
(07:16):
but she's just she's massively unlikable. If she wants to
go down the road of being the foil to Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
He correct just do it. She might be she might
be doing that now. I mean, maybe all this is
is what that's about, because I think it's good for
the WNBA. I mean, listen to us, we're talking w
n B a U if Angel Rees Tuesday says, well,
let me expand on that for you, Bob. We're not
talking about it, but her running her mouth and shutting
(07:46):
the guy down like that is a big reason why.
It's the only reason why we played that clip on
the show. So I think it's good for the game.
But I mean, if somebody's got to be unlikable, she's
the queen. She is the unlikable queen of the w NBA.
All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Charles Barkley shared his thoughts on college frats during an
Inside the NBA postgame show last weekend.

Shabbad is a movement within Hassiad Hassidic Hassidic Judeus.

There you go. See, you look at me knowing something?
All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Dick?
Speaker 6 (11:55):
All right? Uh?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Pick one? What do you want? Let's move forward to
I don't know five.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
After the NFL schedule released yesterday, Al Michael Is, now
the voice of Thursday night football on Amazon Prime, joined
the NFL network and talked about how the state of
games on Thursday Nights has evolved since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
You know, I look at this schedule and rich you
and I are both I think old enough to remember
the old cigarette commercial with the slogan You've come a
long way, baby nice. I think that's how I look
at Amazon now. Because we started in twenty twenty two,
the schedule had a couple of pretty good games and
then a lot of run in the middle games, and
(12:34):
then in twenty three it became considerably better. Last year
was great. The ratings were terrific and we had a
ton of really great matchups, and this year I look
at this schedule, Rich and you see the same thing
that I'm seeing. Most of the games would be Sunday
night or Monday night games as well. So I mean,
I think we're kind of right there where we had
hoped to be four years into it. And then we
(12:57):
have the flexible component as well, So we've come on
a long way.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Baby.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
By the way, I can't believe we didn't play this uh.
I mean, I have no response to al Michael's comments
there the fact.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
That nobody reached their games more than al Michaels.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Did over the last well, he was so boring and
he is boring.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
And he would just tell you how awful the game
is and how awful the matchup is.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I mean, you could have a ninety nine yard pick
six to win a game on the last player regulation
and he's going to go and win the game. It's
like what And I love al Michaels for what he is,
but yeah, but shows man. We we have just received
the official Zeta Beta Tau theme song. By the way,
(13:37):
I did not play that earlier. Kabbad is a Jewish movement, specifically.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Ah you read this already.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Cabbad no Cabba yeah yeah uh. Known for its focus
on Jewish education, outreach and missionary activities. So if they want,
if the Kabad House wants us to come over there
and do a radio show, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
A Hey, Dick, did you happened to hear that?
Speaker 10 (14:02):
What?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
David?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
What's that?
Speaker 9 (14:03):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Saftie's a missionary.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
God.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You imagine me traveling to a third world country wearing
a cloak.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, our names are Softie and Dick.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Your names are Softy and Dick. Tracy McGrady said that,
remember that that was like twenty years of Shack Shaq
made fun of us too.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Which one do you want to get to next?
Speaker 11 (14:30):
Six.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Colin Cowhard made a fitting comparison on Fox Sports one
yesterday well, talking about how much the Cowboys are on
national TV this coming year.
Speaker 10 (14:40):
Cowboys are in the opener at Philly, a game they
never win. I don't need to see that game. Then
they have the Cowboys against Kansas City on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't need to see that either.
Speaker 10 (14:49):
And the only thing keeping the Cowboys TV numbers up
is Networks putting them on and the NFL putting.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Them on more.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
Get Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen somewhere on that the idea
that Dallas has earned that spot. It's Lakers on Christmas?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Who cares?
Speaker 10 (15:05):
Remember when Apple inserted the U two album on your
iPod and you didn't want it and you couldn't get
rid of it. That's what I feel about the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Well, we have Lamar Jackson this year. He's playing the Bengals, right, Yeah,
and Dallas has to play on Thanksgiving. That's a rule. Yeah,
the Lions and Cowboys play on Thanksgiving. I would agree.
Dallas doesn't need to play the Eagles on opening Day.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
The Eagles should be playing the Eagles on their ring
ceremony day. Should be playing a requisite team that can
actually beat the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Well, who else would that be? Well, and I haven't
seen Theirs on their schedule. I mean, Dallas Philadelphia is
a pretty sexy matchup marketing wise for week number marketing wise, right,
but draw some eyeballs.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Eagles are a touchdown favorite.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Watch the Cowboys win the game, now, Jackson, watch the
Cowboys win the game.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Great game.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Just guaranteed that Dallas beats Philadelphia or plays them tough.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
And week off field goal for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Right, great, that's right, and then Dak Prescott flies up
here and shoves a football.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Right up your ass. How about how about dat Fane?
How about Philadelphia and the Lions to open up the season.
When do they play?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
They play Week eleven? Okay, how about Philip. Have you've
seen the Lions first seven games already?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
And you want to put the Eagles? My god, their
schedules brute?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
How about this one for intrigue Philadelphia against Pete Carroll
and the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
In his opener, how about you and I do a
radio show from the Jewish Kabbat House and just be
done with all this nonsense and get to what really matters.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Who do we contact over there? By the way, Jackson
set that up, do something for They'll reach out there.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
They need to reach out to do something for the
first time in your life as a producer, Yeah, get us,
get us a book for the Kebbot House, get a
break a PGA championship from Qualhalow, and then Brian Schmeetzer
at five forty five on ninety three three kJ A RFMAD.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
Casting live from the R and R Foundation Specialist broad
Jest Studio Now to SOFTI and dig powered by Emerald
Queen Casino, the Betty and Capital of the Northwest, on
Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
All Right, I went ahead and just threw it out
there on Twitter for Shiggles and Gates. Why not what
would be more painful for you? The Thunder win the
NBA title or Oregon wins the college football playoffs?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Pick one? That's so, that's hard at Softy kJ R.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I think I think I'm resigning myself to the fact
that the Thunder probably are going to win one in
the next month. So I'm going I'm I'm trying to
lean towards Oregon.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, if they're going to win it, the Thunder and tonight,
it's a huge game, obviously, go Nugs. If the Thunder
are going to win it, you would you rather have
them win it now or after the Sonics come back?
Before or after? Is there's a part of me that
thinks it might not be as painful if the team here,
(18:05):
I rather have them wait.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
And here's the thing. We had.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Mark Bertonoli aka Mark Bertonelli was on with us, Like
he literally tells me how to pronounce his name, and
not five seconds later, I screwed it up. I mean,
that's the precursor to the year. How that happens?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
What was that squirrel?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
You know?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
He asked about is the pain ever going to go away?
And for me, the answer is no, it's never going
away ever, because eighteen years of my life, literally like
almost one third of my life is without the NBA.
Your son's a big basketball fans. He's how old now,
he's fifteen. He's never had his own team ever, and
so I would think that a guy like you would
(18:47):
be way less forgiving if we ever do get the
NBA back, because your son's prime.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Years miss as a sports fan.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
He's gonna be eighteen, he's be a senior in high
school when he sees his first sonic.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Game and he missed every single one. How about that.
That's what they did to you. That's what that bastard
did to you. So the answer to the question that
Burdo asked, will we ever get over it?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
For me?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Never? Ever?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah, I'm just glad he loves the league. So yes,
he missed out having his own team, but I'm still
glad that he didn't miss out having the NBA.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Well, let's face it, he loves the league because of Papa,
and that's why he loves Gonzaga because of his dad too,
all right. I mean we know that you as much.
You have stuck your tentacles into him, but.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I would say he might have.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I've well, see, my dad and I bonded over the
NBA like it was right, but but.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Really it was like Lakers Celtics, like he was.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
You know, we'd watched that all you know, we we'd
watch those games in the eighties and and he loved
Magic Johnson and then obviously we'd root for the Sonics
as well and go to the games. But you know,
that's why we I love the NBA so much because
my dad and I think that's probably why. But also
I think a lot of young kids because the NBA
is a very YouTube friendly highlight friend, Wow, look at
(20:01):
that play friendly sport, much more so than baseball is,
and even in some ways more more so than than
football because you don't have as many, oh my god,
plays in a football game as you do some moves
in an NBA game.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Well, it just leads me to the idea for a
bracket for tomorrow. I don't know if you guys, we
want to do this or not because some people might
rather have an ice pick to the eyeball than hear
this conversation tomorrow at four o'clock on the radio program what.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Would be and what has been?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
And what could be the most painful thing that ever
happened to a Seattle sports fan? And look, we got
the ninety four Sonics first round horrible, right, we got
super Bowl forty nine, we got the thunder potentially, and.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
We can we can use use future, you can use potential.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
So we can use the Oregon potentially Oklahoma City.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
We're gonna wins the twelve year loss to the Oregon
Ducks by the Huskies every single year for a dozen
years in a row.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I mean, dude, I think you found it.
Speaker 11 (20:57):
It's the worst potential that doesn't involve losing a franchise.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
The worst thing that would do to us is the
worst thing that has happened or could happen to the
Sonics going to okase on the list. Make losing them
one of those things. Somebody may say that that the
super Bowl was worse. They might be a much bigger
football fan than a basketball fan. I feel like we
put that on there'll be just a blood.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I don't know. Well, really it looks like franchise versus
losing a Super Bowl. I would agree with that. And
the problem is that it's just three of us voting here.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
If we if we extended it to the audience and
let them vote, I think you'd get a much bigger
percentage of people that might not say that because it
was eighteen years ago, and how many twenty five year
olds are voting in this thing. But if it's the
three of us, because you were twelve right when they.
Speaker 11 (21:41):
Took off, it's still pay I mean, it's taken well,
my entire childhood growing up, and I mean I only
got to go to a couple of years of song.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Believe it as it was only six years after the
Sonics left that the play happened in the Super Bowl.
We I mean it was the same era.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Basically, we should get pictures of us in two thousand
and eight and then compare them to where we are
right now. Right remember in Indiana Jones in the Last
Crusade when who was the guy that was in Empire
strikes Back that drove the ad at he also played
the guy And come on, you know that you do
a Hollywood Podcast, for God's Sake, for the Last Crusade,
(22:19):
the Nazi, the guy that was trying to find the
Cup of Christ, and he beat Harrison Ford to it,
and he picked the wrong one. He chose poorly. And
then remember that he just all of a sudden, within
the spend like five seconds, he turns into into the
lummy Glover, Julian Glover. Yes, he was in Star Wars too,
he was. Remember how quickly he went from a good
looking dude to a freaking mummy. That's gonna be what's
(22:40):
gonna happen to us. Let's look at photos of us
from two thousand and eight to now. I wait more, Yeah,
here's me at the Crapple Cup. That's two thousand and eight.
You're fat, Holy moly. I mean Jackson would look the
exact same, just be like three foot nine. There's no difference.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
I have I have pictures, okay from high school, and
these are these are kind of frightened.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I would encourage everybody. I would encourage anybody who is
willing to potentially forgive Howard Schultz for what he did
to us, to go back and look at pictures of
yourself from two thousand and eight and then compare them
to day and then think about that's what you were
robbed of all those years. That's what that bastard robbed
you of. There is no room, in my opinion, for
(23:22):
anybody in this town to ever forgive that guy what
iota for what he did. Never ever ever. They could
come back and win fifteen titles in thirty years, and
I would never forgive the guy.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Tell me how many gray hairs you see on my head? None?
Speaker 4 (23:38):
None, zero.
Speaker 11 (23:39):
So if the bracket, if the bracket is I just
think it's the three of us voting. If we include
teams departing, okay, it's going to be a blatant run away.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
So we take the sonics leaving out. So it's it's
the worst things.
Speaker 11 (23:51):
To happen or that could happen, not involving teams leaving.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Oh yeah, I think that's This topic is making me sick.
By the way, well, why.
Speaker 11 (24:00):
So you got you have the idea? Well, we didn't
have to do it. It's thirty ideas on this and
yelling anyway. They show me that picture again, by the way,
view that's a nice picture. Holy cow God your wife.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Because I have hot Yeah, because I have I have
you look looking at me?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
How did you score that? Honestly, I don't know, Like,
what the hell you can ask that? How did you
get that? That is amazing? Did you show him that
picture of her?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
He was looking at me?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
He was only moly man, What did you do to
land that?
Speaker 6 (24:35):
He?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
That is unbelievable. I'll kicked your coverage pal big time.
All right, we're gonna break Brian Schmetzer. Uh, Sounders stunk
last night, no getting around it.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Right.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
He'll join us next on ninety three three kJ A
r f.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
M, casting live from the R and R Foundation Specialist
Broadcast Studio. Now back to Softie and Dig powered by
Emerald Queen Casino, the Betty and Capital of the Northwest
on Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
All right, we are back on a Thursday night right
here on ninety three three KJRFM. Joining us right now
on the radio show with some big news. By the way,
we'd like to announce here on the program, but we'll
get our boy, our guy, Brian Schmetzer on while we
do this.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
The head coach of the Sounders joined us right here
on a Thursday night. How are you man?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Good? I didn't forget about you, Softy.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
You know what, Thank God, because we don't have to
find you again if you were late like you were
last week.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
So well, oh go ahead, go no you go, No you.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Go, No you go, no you go.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
We announced this earlier today, about three hours ago, a
partnership with You and the Rain and iHeartMedia Seattle. We
are deepening our long standing collaboration to provide premiere audio
coverage for soccer fans across the PNW. And the best part, Brian,
of this press release that I really like for fans
(26:05):
of both clubs. Leading sports radio KJUR talent like Softy,
Dick Faane.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
And Jackson Felts. Wow, how about that?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Are set to be on site at Luhman for select
matches of both clubs, conducting live remotes, interacting with fans
and drinking tequila with Brian Schmetzer pre match on the
Lumenfield concourse.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
It says that how about that.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Brian, Congratulations We still get to be buddies for at
least a few more years.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Well, I thought you had me on the show because
we were buddies, not because of some iHeartRadio Seattle partnership.
I thought it was just you and me.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
No, if we weren't radio partners, you wouldn't be here.
Let's be on them just kidding. Hey, first of all, honestly,
we're happy to do it. We're fired up for the
partnership to continue. I know that we'd like to be
celebrating something else besides what happened last night. And I
think we asked you a couple weeks of the game
against Saint Louis, we thought maybe it was the best
game of the year year. Does this one maybe go
(27:02):
the polar opposite for you last night?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Well? Yeah, I mean, look, I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
We did not play well. You know, it kind of
sucked actually, but you know, I mean that's gonna happen
if you can't score goals. And look, I can't fault
you know, because I mixed the team, so I can't
fault the players. I got to own some of that.
(27:27):
You know. I thought that the last game we played
against LFC, we beat them five to two with kind
of a similar lineup, although Jordan came on at halftime
when we kind of opened things up. But you know,
I got faint that we got a deep roster, and
you know, last night it certainly didn't happen for us.
But there's one big butt. I mean, goals change games.
(27:50):
They scored the first goal and then Danny Lava came
within six inches of scoring. Pedro had a header to
hit the crossbar osase Rosario. You know he has it
anywhere else in the goal. Maybe it's one one at
half time and maybe the game is different. I'm not
saying we would have won, but at least we would
have put ourselves in a position to be competitive.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Well, three games in eight days is tough. But what
would you say to fans who said, coach, you shouldn't
rotate your lineup, just start all your best guys because
they're pros and they should be able to play that much.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Well, that's how Jordan Morris got hurt. That's how Bigger
Day la Vega got hurt when I played him on
two days rest. There's certain things in our sport that
we have to take into consideration. We have the Club
World Cup coming up, where I need to be cognizant
of that because we want to compete in that tournament.
(28:45):
And MLS is a long season, and so you know,
I rested Stephen Fry. Christian Rodin had logged the most
minutes of anybody on our squad. So this was the
game I decided to do. It didn't work all.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Well, I guess I guess the question that would be,
does that naturally maybe let you not be as irritated
about what happened last night. You're a competitor, you don't
like seeing things like last night. But if you had played,
if you had played all those guys that you arrested
and still got your ass kicked, that would have been
a problem.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
That would have been a bigger problem. Yeah. Or if
we go down to Portland on the weekend and the
guys that I rested don't perform to their abilities, yeah,
then I'm going to catch a lot of flak as well.
But look again, last time we played LAFC up here
in Seattle, score line was five to two, and Steve Tarundelo,
the coach, he and I were talking after last game
in Seattle and then last night the similarities. The teams
(29:42):
are close, the LFC and US, we're close. We're going
to be there at the playoffs at the end of
the year.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Well, let's move on to the Portland Bastards. Coach.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
We got them coming up, So they're off to a
pretty good start in twenty times five. What's your take
on the bastards.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Well, they there outperforming all their stats, you know, Jackson
can tell you all the expected goals and they're outperforming things.
They're just believing that they can win. And they had
a good midweek result against RSL and nil Mill draw
on the road for them. They won their last home game.
So you know, we're not afraid to go down there.
(30:20):
We've actually had some very good games down there, but
it is going to be a challenge.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I just think that this complimentary tone that you're taking
towards Portland right now, I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
And I want to hear you say something derogatory about Portland.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Okay, Portland sucks.
Speaker 11 (30:39):
There's a drop Jackson, right enough, speaking of I will
give you the expected goals here, because you're better than
Portland in both categories Seattle for expected goals twenty one
point two, Portland is only at sixteen point four or
five ahead there for allowed, you're also four to seven, sorry,
seven below them. You know what I expect, by the way,
I expect you to kick their ass on side. Sure,
(30:59):
nothing enough with us expected gold schmol nonsense. I mean
a couple of weeks ago, I think you asked us
the question, the rhetorical question, why can't we play the
same on the road as we play at home?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Then you went out and won three to one at Houston.
So how do you.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Play like that again in a hostile environment like the Timbers?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Or is it even possible to do that down there?
Speaker 4 (31:20):
You think, no, it's possible. Look, we went down there
a couple of years ago, maybe it was last the
year before, I think, beat them six to two. We've
had some good results there. Last year we were one
one and one against them in the regular season. Those
teams are always tough because there are arch rivals. They're
going to be up for the game. The fans always
(31:41):
get into it, you know, got the fish and all
the stupid things. They stay up there. So I mean,
it's going to be a good atmosphere. Our guys loves
playing in that atmosphere, and you know, hopefully, hopefully we
can you know, play well and give them the middle
finger after the game.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Are you going to have our second favorite Jackson, not
Jackson Feltz, but Jackson Reagan back for this game?
Speaker 4 (32:04):
He is probably not going to make it back, Dick.
I'm figuring Dallas our next home game, Dallas. That's the
return date.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
How about Jordan Morris, how's he doing? How are his spirits?
How often do you talk and what's the update there?
Speaker 10 (32:18):
Man?
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Well, I talk to you. We talk on a daily
basis because I go out of my way just to
make sure I say hey, good morning. You know how
as you as your son, your kid, you know how
you're feeling. He's better, Softy, he's getting better. He's on
the grass again. He's running around. I mean not at
his top speed, of course, but we're getting him back
(32:39):
on the grass. So he's still ways out. That's still
Club World Cup, but he's doing better.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
That's pretty cool that you guys talk every day, so
like you've got his number, you can text him whenever
you want.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Oh, for sure, I got all their numbers.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Wow, that's pretty cool. Who's the biggest name you have
in your cell phone?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
You think.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
The biggest name?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Yeah, the biggest celebrity in your cell phone?
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Safty Dave Boler.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Okay, number two behind me, biggest celebrity. And by the way,
let me ask you your question. Go ahead, Nick Haynes,
Dick Maine.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
When somebody.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
When somebody dies, do you take their number out of
your phone automatically?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Because I use you leave it in.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
I got like Hank Aaron's number, of Pete Rose's numbers in,
they're still really I can't get rid of him.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
How about you com.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
I leave it in. Look, I can tell you a story. Look,
Ziggy was my mentor and he's such a good guy,
and he's in my phone literally, like and God rest
his soul. He passed on here about five years ago
or something like that, like a couple of years ago,
I swear to God, Softie. I'm just sitting there and
all of a sudden, my phone buzzes and it's Ziggy
Schmidt and I am freaking out. I am like going,
(33:46):
holy crap, Diggie's calling me from heaven and you know
all this sort of stuff. Well, his wife Val had
kept his phone and she like pucket died me.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
It was like my heart was beating, like like really.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Be like, wow, that is amazing good lung numbers, right,
that's right. You never know.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah, Well, coach, we're exactly a month away from the
Club World Cup. So what does depth preparation, rather, when
does the depth preparation start for that.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Well, we've got this next game against Portland. Then we're
going to play the following weekend. But that's the start
of another three game week, then away at Vancouver and
then it's Club World Cup, so I gotta get through Saturday.
Then we got one more tough stretch of three home games.
That's the that's the beauty. The terrible part of the
(34:41):
schedule is we've got three away games in a week.
But now we get three home games in a week,
which is much much better. And then we'll start focusing
on the Club World Cup. Uh, when we get a
little bit closer and the games are a little spread.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Out, all right, listen, go get them on Saturday, six
pm on the f right here on KJAR and fired
up to continue this partnership with you guys. And I
don't think I'm speaking out of turn when I say this.
We love carrying the games, we love having the access
and all that stuff, But personally, my favorite part of
this partnership with us and the Sounders is doing this
show with you every week, man, every week.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Well, I appreciate that, since we're being serious. I love you,
and I love Dick, and I even like Jackson. I
even like Jackson. When you go on, when you guys,
when you guys go to when you guys come to
the stadium, maybe you guys do a remote show. You
guys can come in the coaches room prior to the game.
(35:40):
I'll treat you guys like the big timers.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
You guys are well if you do that, you know
we I know what Jackson's reaction is going to be
if you let him into your office before the game.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yes, I mean, dude, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Man, Come on, how about how about the three of
us stand on the sideline with you during a game?
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Can we do that and just kind of hang with
you during the game?
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Is hey, you can do that as a warm up.
You guys can watch this warm up. That'd be great.
I'd love it, all.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Right, man, Hey, great stuff. Go get them Sorry about
last night. Go kick Portland's ass on Saturday, and we're
talking a.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Week okay, take care, all right.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Thanks Brian Schmitzer with us on the radio show and
again the Sounders the Rain expanded our partnership with them

Little Jumbo version, Dick's Fun with Audio, Jimmy GA Star,
Jimmy mister garoppolo.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Now let's have some fun with audio, all right.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Brian Schmetzer by the way, gonna join us coming up here.
By the way, can I just say one thing. When
you said Johnny Vegas, I was like, who the Hell's
Johnny Vegas. I don't think anybody knows who that is.
You know who Johnny Vegas is? By the way, where's
he from?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
By the way, is it Churis? I don't know who
that is. I've never heard of that. Jonathan Vegas it
for a long time.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I would tell you that ninety nine percent of our
audience has no idea with that. When you said Johnny Vegas,
I thought his name was Johnny something else and his
nickname is Vegas.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Like, who the hell Vegas?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Well, that's the thing with this first round of the
PGA Championship. There is nobody the biggest name. There's no
big name that Actually, Matt Fitzpatrick is tied for ninth
and Kegan Bradley's time for ninth.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Everybody else is a no name right top ten. Johnny
Vegas is Venezuelan. By the way, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
So he is currently leading the PGA Championship through seventeen
at six hundred park. All right, let's get to it,
little jumbo version, extended version, uncut version, non rated version.
Remember back when you were a kid and you watched
a movie and it said n R. You're like, yeah,
hell yeah, let's see some mobies. Let's go play a
(01:22):
boy CHANNW scramble, n R no rating. Damn, Mom and
dad are gone for the night. Let's get after it.
All right, here we go. Hey, Dick, did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
What's that? What's that?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Rich Eisen's going back to ESPN? How about that? And
this morning on WFAN radio in New York City, morning
show host Greg Gaetti had some blunt thoughts on the
state of the rich Eisen Show.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Now all this Rich Eisen stuff that's out there, I
guess he's going back to ESPN. There's so much talk
about rich Eisen. I mean that he's got to be
the most boring talk show host in America. Why is
everybody talking about it? I mean, the talk show is ambient.
Any clip that I see it feels like they're they're
doing a remote from a funeral home.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Wow, I mean it could not be more boring. All right,
So I don't watch his show or listen. I don't.
I mean I see clips every now and then.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
He's got some pretty big name guests coming by his
program every now and then.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I wouldn't know enough.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I mean, Dick watches all this Stuff'll just wait because
so you tell me, is he boring?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
He has never intrigued me. We'll put it that way.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
So, but I haven't watched it. I don't watch nearly
as much as him as I do of like.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Nick Right or Steven A. He is no Nick Right.
Well again, I think all these places, it's like when
schools send out marketing materials for the Heisman Trophy, like
late in the year when they want people to vote
for the Heisman, you get some random you know, Wyoming
Cowboys are sending out all this correspondence on Josh Allen.
All of these talk shows should, if they send out
(02:54):
marketing correspondence, should get Dick Fane's address and send it
to him because they need you.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, you were a pa one. I'm a Heisman voter.
Sports talk, National sports talks crazy. All right, Hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
What's that dick?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
During the Phillies game yesterday on NBC NBC Channel ten,
meteorologists Bill Henley, joining John Kruck and the Booth and
the Guys talked about the reliability of predicting the weather.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Since you started.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
How has technology changed how you do the weather?
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Incredibly.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
It's the data. There's so much more information available now
and the computing power. In the beginning, you know, a
five day forecast.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Was you gonna lie your your ass off knowing what
it know.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
But now ten days we're doing okay.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
You don't guess anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
If you have the data.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
It's the experience. It's not a guess. It is an
educated experience.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
What is keeping a meteorologist, by the way, because everybody's
got a weather app now on their phone, what is
keeping a meteorologist from going onto his iPhone and saying,
all right, TOMORROWHI have fifty six low, forty three, seventy
five percent chance of rain?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Done? Says Apple.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I mean, what was the last time you actually watched
a weather report on television and said.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Honey, I gotta find out what's going on. Well, the
only time I would is like I I'll watch news
before I go.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
To bed, and maybe I haven't checked my weather app
all day, so I don't know what's going on the
conference to come on, you'll watch and it comes on,
it's like, oh, is it gonna rain tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
And so I'll you don't.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I don't even know who the weather people are in
this town anymore. Is Rich Marriott still working? Yes for
King from the morning. Who's the geeky guy on thirteen?
Brian McMillan, right right the glasses. Yeah, he's still there.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Trust you. Sounds like you're And I'm watching the weather much.
I have that. That's why I have two different weather
apps on my phone. Yeah, I mean, come on, there's
just I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
The one thing people can't get artificially anymore is this.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It's great. One day that'll end and Ai'll take over.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
They're gonna clone our voices, clone our faces and just
run us off and have a robot doing the show.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
But until that day, we're golden bad ah ha ha,
what a funny clip.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Well, and.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
To the phone lines we go.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
So AI will really come on the radio and say, ky,
wasn't it wasn't that great?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
When we watched NC seventeen movies.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
That's right, and you saw boobies. That was phenomenal. Okay, hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that day?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
What's that? It's going to four? All right? Four? Which
is really five on this before the number four. I'm confused.
I'm talking about he missed the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
During Angel Reese's rookie season with the Sky last year,
she said, quote, the reason why people are watching women's
basketball is not just because of one person.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's because of me too.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Remember that quote from Angel Reese when she got mad
that everybody was talking about Caitlin clark Well During a
Sky press conference on Tuesday, somebody asked Reese for her thoughts.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Now a year later on that quote.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Last year, you made a powerful statement saying the reason people.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
Are watching women's basketball is not just because of one player,
but because of you two A year A year later,
do you feel like your next question?
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Yeah, we'll move on, thank you, move on to Zoom ESPN.
Speaker 9 (06:06):
Please unmute.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I don't get a dude, why don't you shut that down?
I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I mean, first of all, it sounded to me and
nobody knows for sure, but the line of questioning sounded
like it was going towards a complimentary direction, giving her
a chance to talk about some stuff that maybe she wanted,
and for her to shut it down like that. I
don't know, dude, I just I'll be honest with you.
I don't like her at all. She comes across as
massively unlikable. This gal, well, I think massively.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
A part of it.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You know, there's the Draymond Green side of it, right,
and that's that's what's That's not all this making remarkable. Hey,
she was way better last year than I thought she
was going to be. She scored fourteen points and thirteen rebounds. Again, well,
that's a different conversation. I'm not saying she's not a
bad player. I mean, of course, she's a very good,
incredible basketball player. But this is a gal that went
(06:55):
to a press conference and almost started crying because she
thought she was being sexualised, and then poses in a
bikini for Sports Illustrated and then comes out and wants
credit and attention for what she perceives she helps to build,
and then gets asked about it and shuts it down.
I mean, and there's more examples I can give you
(07:16):
but she's just she's massively unlikable. If she wants to
go down the road of being the foil to Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
He correct just do it. She might be she might
be doing that now. I mean, maybe all this is
is what that's about, because I think it's good for
the WNBA. I mean, listen to us, we're talking w
n B a U if Angel Rees Tuesday says, well,
let me expand on that for you, Bob. We're not
talking about it, but her running her mouth and shutting
(07:46):
the guy down like that is a big reason why.
It's the only reason why we played that clip on
the show. So I think it's good for the game.
But I mean, if somebody's got to be unlikable, she's
the queen. She is the unlikable queen of the w NBA.
All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Charles Barkley shared his thoughts on college frats during an
Inside the NBA postgame show last weekend.

Cream, and like why are so many people buying those pies?
Speaker 11 (10:48):
And and then and then and then the spoof of
not another teen movie?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Who just takes that and goes that direction with it?
I don't know, man, I didn't realize there was a
what's it called shut bod house? You know? What does
sabad mean? I have no idea. I thought you would know.
I mean, do I know everything Jewish speak? Yiddish? No,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I used to be able to speak Hebrew, but that
was thirty seven years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Are you kidding me? I want sag?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Guy, buddy of mine is like, you know, I got
a friend of mine as Jewish, so maybe I know
it's like seventeen million of us.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I don't know, man.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Shabbad is a movement within Hassiad Hassidic Hassidic Judeus.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Okay, got the movement.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I thought that the Jewish frat was ZBT on campus.
Somebody would be able to confirm and deny that.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
All right now, I want pie? Yeah? No kidding?

Right, old soccer cream pie, banana cream pie, coconut pre

Speaker 3 (11:45):
I'm CBT founded in eighteen ninety eight, is the first
Jewish frat in the United States.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
There you go. See, you look at me knowing something?
All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Dick?
Speaker 6 (11:55):
All right? Uh?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Pick one? What do you want? Let's move forward to
I don't know five.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
After the NFL schedule released yesterday, Al Michael Is, now
the voice of Thursday night football on Amazon Prime, joined
the NFL network and talked about how the state of
games on Thursday Nights has evolved since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
You know, I look at this schedule and rich you
and I are both I think old enough to remember
the old cigarette commercial with the slogan You've come a
long way, baby nice. I think that's how I look
at Amazon now. Because we started in twenty twenty two,
the schedule had a couple of pretty good games and
then a lot of run in the middle games, and
(12:34):
then in twenty three it became considerably better. Last year
was great. The ratings were terrific and we had a
ton of really great matchups, and this year I look
at this schedule, Rich and you see the same thing
that I'm seeing. Most of the games would be Sunday
night or Monday night games as well. So I mean,
I think we're kind of right there where we had
hoped to be four years into it. And then we
(12:57):
have the flexible component as well, So we've come on
a long way.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Baby.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
By the way, I can't believe we didn't play this uh.
I mean, I have no response to al Michael's comments
there the fact.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
That nobody reached their games more than al Michaels.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Did over the last well, he was so boring and
he is boring.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
And he would just tell you how awful the game
is and how awful the matchup is.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I mean, you could have a ninety nine yard pick
six to win a game on the last player regulation
and he's going to go and win the game. It's
like what And I love al Michaels for what he is,
but yeah, but shows man. We we have just received
the official Zeta Beta Tau theme song. By the way,
(13:37):
I did not play that earlier. Kabbad is a Jewish movement, specifically.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Ah you read this already.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Cabbad no Cabba yeah yeah uh. Known for its focus
on Jewish education, outreach and missionary activities. So if they want,
if the Kabad House wants us to come over there
and do a radio show, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
A Hey, Dick, did you happened to hear that?
Speaker 10 (14:02):
What?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
David?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
What's that?
Speaker 9 (14:03):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Saftie's a missionary.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
God.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You imagine me traveling to a third world country wearing
a cloak.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, our names are Softie and Dick.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Your names are Softy and Dick. Tracy McGrady said that,
remember that that was like twenty years of Shack Shaq
made fun of us too.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Which one do you want to get to next?
Speaker 11 (14:30):
Six.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Colin Cowhard made a fitting comparison on Fox Sports one
yesterday well, talking about how much the Cowboys are on
national TV this coming year.
Speaker 10 (14:40):
Cowboys are in the opener at Philly, a game they
never win. I don't need to see that game. Then
they have the Cowboys against Kansas City on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't need to see that either.
Speaker 10 (14:49):
And the only thing keeping the Cowboys TV numbers up
is Networks putting them on and the NFL putting.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Them on more.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
Get Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen somewhere on that the idea
that Dallas has earned that spot. It's Lakers on Christmas?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Who cares?
Speaker 10 (15:05):
Remember when Apple inserted the U two album on your
iPod and you didn't want it and you couldn't get
rid of it. That's what I feel about the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Well, we have Lamar Jackson this year. He's playing the Bengals, right, Yeah,
and Dallas has to play on Thanksgiving. That's a rule. Yeah,
the Lions and Cowboys play on Thanksgiving. I would agree.
Dallas doesn't need to play the Eagles on opening Day.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
The Eagles should be playing the Eagles on their ring
ceremony day. Should be playing a requisite team that can
actually beat the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Well, who else would that be? Well, and I haven't
seen Theirs on their schedule. I mean, Dallas Philadelphia is
a pretty sexy matchup marketing wise for week number marketing wise, right,
but draw some eyeballs.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Eagles are a touchdown favorite.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Watch the Cowboys win the game, now, Jackson, watch the
Cowboys win the game.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Great game.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Just guaranteed that Dallas beats Philadelphia or plays them tough.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
And week off field goal for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Right, great, that's right, and then Dak Prescott flies up
here and shoves a football.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Right up your ass. How about how about dat Fane?
How about Philadelphia and the Lions to open up the season.
When do they play?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
They play Week eleven? Okay, how about Philip. Have you've
seen the Lions first seven games already?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
And you want to put the Eagles? My god, their
schedules brute?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
How about this one for intrigue Philadelphia against Pete Carroll
and the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
In his opener, how about you and I do a
radio show from the Jewish Kabbat House and just be
done with all this nonsense and get to what really matters.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Who do we contact over there? By the way, Jackson
set that up, do something for They'll reach out there.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
They need to reach out to do something for the
first time in your life as a producer, Yeah, get us,
get us a book for the Kebbot House, get a
break a PGA championship from Qualhalow, and then Brian Schmeetzer
at five forty five on ninety three three kJ A RFMAD.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
Casting live from the R and R Foundation Specialist broad
Jest Studio Now to SOFTI and dig powered by Emerald
Queen Casino, the Betty and Capital of the Northwest, on
Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
All Right, I went ahead and just threw it out
there on Twitter for Shiggles and Gates. Why not what
would be more painful for you? The Thunder win the
NBA title or Oregon wins the college football playoffs?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Pick one? That's so, that's hard at Softy kJ R.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I think I think I'm resigning myself to the fact
that the Thunder probably are going to win one in
the next month. So I'm going I'm I'm trying to
lean towards Oregon.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, if they're going to win it, the Thunder and tonight,
it's a huge game, obviously, go Nugs. If the Thunder
are going to win it, you would you rather have
them win it now or after the Sonics come back?
Before or after? Is there's a part of me that
thinks it might not be as painful if the team here,
(18:05):
I rather have them wait.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
And here's the thing. We had.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Mark Bertonoli aka Mark Bertonelli was on with us, Like
he literally tells me how to pronounce his name, and
not five seconds later, I screwed it up. I mean,
that's the precursor to the year. How that happens?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
What was that squirrel?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
You know?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
He asked about is the pain ever going to go away?
And for me, the answer is no, it's never going
away ever, because eighteen years of my life, literally like
almost one third of my life is without the NBA.
Your son's a big basketball fans. He's how old now,
he's fifteen. He's never had his own team ever, and
so I would think that a guy like you would
(18:47):
be way less forgiving if we ever do get the
NBA back, because your son's prime.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Years miss as a sports fan.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
He's gonna be eighteen, he's be a senior in high
school when he sees his first sonic.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Game and he missed every single one. How about that.
That's what they did to you. That's what that bastard
did to you. So the answer to the question that
Burdo asked, will we ever get over it?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
For me?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Never? Ever?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah, I'm just glad he loves the league. So yes,
he missed out having his own team, but I'm still
glad that he didn't miss out having the NBA.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Well, let's face it, he loves the league because of Papa,
and that's why he loves Gonzaga because of his dad too,
all right. I mean we know that you as much.
You have stuck your tentacles into him, but.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I would say he might have.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I've well, see, my dad and I bonded over the
NBA like it was right, but but.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Really it was like Lakers Celtics, like he was.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
You know, we'd watched that all you know, we we'd
watch those games in the eighties and and he loved
Magic Johnson and then obviously we'd root for the Sonics
as well and go to the games. But you know,
that's why we I love the NBA so much because
my dad and I think that's probably why. But also
I think a lot of young kids because the NBA
is a very YouTube friendly highlight friend, Wow, look at
(20:01):
that play friendly sport, much more so than baseball is,
and even in some ways more more so than than
football because you don't have as many, oh my god,
plays in a football game as you do some moves
in an NBA game.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Well, it just leads me to the idea for a
bracket for tomorrow. I don't know if you guys, we
want to do this or not because some people might
rather have an ice pick to the eyeball than hear
this conversation tomorrow at four o'clock on the radio program what.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Would be and what has been?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
And what could be the most painful thing that ever
happened to a Seattle sports fan? And look, we got
the ninety four Sonics first round horrible, right, we got
super Bowl forty nine, we got the thunder potentially, and.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
We can we can use use future, you can use potential.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
So we can use the Oregon potentially Oklahoma City.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
We're gonna wins the twelve year loss to the Oregon
Ducks by the Huskies every single year for a dozen
years in a row.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I mean, dude, I think you found it.
Speaker 11 (20:57):
It's the worst potential that doesn't involve losing a franchise.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
The worst thing that would do to us is the
worst thing that has happened or could happen to the
Sonics going to okase on the list. Make losing them
one of those things. Somebody may say that that the
super Bowl was worse. They might be a much bigger
football fan than a basketball fan. I feel like we
put that on there'll be just a blood.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I don't know. Well, really it looks like franchise versus
losing a Super Bowl. I would agree with that. And
the problem is that it's just three of us voting here.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
If we if we extended it to the audience and
let them vote, I think you'd get a much bigger
percentage of people that might not say that because it
was eighteen years ago, and how many twenty five year
olds are voting in this thing. But if it's the
three of us, because you were twelve right when they.
Speaker 11 (21:41):
Took off, it's still pay I mean, it's taken well,
my entire childhood growing up, and I mean I only
got to go to a couple of years of song.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Believe it as it was only six years after the
Sonics left that the play happened in the Super Bowl.
We I mean it was the same era.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Basically, we should get pictures of us in two thousand
and eight and then compare them to where we are
right now. Right remember in Indiana Jones in the Last
Crusade when who was the guy that was in Empire
strikes Back that drove the ad at he also played
the guy And come on, you know that you do
a Hollywood Podcast, for God's Sake, for the Last Crusade,
(22:19):
the Nazi, the guy that was trying to find the
Cup of Christ, and he beat Harrison Ford to it,
and he picked the wrong one. He chose poorly. And
then remember that he just all of a sudden, within
the spend like five seconds, he turns into into the
lummy Glover, Julian Glover. Yes, he was in Star Wars too,
he was. Remember how quickly he went from a good
looking dude to a freaking mummy. That's gonna be what's
(22:40):
gonna happen to us. Let's look at photos of us
from two thousand and eight to now. I wait more, Yeah,
here's me at the Crapple Cup. That's two thousand and eight.
You're fat, Holy moly. I mean Jackson would look the
exact same, just be like three foot nine. There's no difference.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
I have I have pictures, okay from high school, and
these are these are kind of frightened.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I would encourage everybody. I would encourage anybody who is
willing to potentially forgive Howard Schultz for what he did
to us, to go back and look at pictures of
yourself from two thousand and eight and then compare them
to day and then think about that's what you were
robbed of all those years. That's what that bastard robbed
you of. There is no room, in my opinion, for
(23:22):
anybody in this town to ever forgive that guy what
iota for what he did. Never ever ever. They could
come back and win fifteen titles in thirty years, and
I would never forgive the guy.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Tell me how many gray hairs you see on my head? None?
Speaker 4 (23:38):
None, zero.
Speaker 11 (23:39):
So if the bracket, if the bracket is I just
think it's the three of us voting. If we include
teams departing, okay, it's going to be a blatant run away.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
So we take the sonics leaving out. So it's it's
the worst things.
Speaker 11 (23:51):
To happen or that could happen, not involving teams leaving.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Oh yeah, I think that's This topic is making me sick.
By the way, well, why.
Speaker 11 (24:00):
So you got you have the idea? Well, we didn't
have to do it. It's thirty ideas on this and
yelling anyway. They show me that picture again, by the way,
view that's a nice picture. Holy cow God your wife.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Because I have hot Yeah, because I have I have
you look looking at me?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
How did you score that? Honestly, I don't know, Like,
what the hell you can ask that? How did you
get that? That is amazing? Did you show him that
picture of her?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
He was looking at me?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
He was only moly man, What did you do to
land that?
Speaker 6 (24:35):
He?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
That is unbelievable. I'll kicked your coverage pal big time.
All right, we're gonna break Brian Schmetzer. Uh, Sounders stunk
last night, no getting around it.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Right.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
He'll join us next on ninety three three kJ A
r f.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
M, casting live from the R and R Foundation Specialist
Broadcast Studio. Now back to Softie and Dig powered by
Emerald Queen Casino, the Betty and Capital of the Northwest
on Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
All right, we are back on a Thursday night right
here on ninety three three KJRFM. Joining us right now
on the radio show with some big news. By the way,
we'd like to announce here on the program, but we'll
get our boy, our guy, Brian Schmetzer on while we
do this.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
The head coach of the Sounders joined us right here
on a Thursday night. How are you man?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Good? I didn't forget about you, Softy.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
You know what, Thank God, because we don't have to
find you again if you were late like you were
last week.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
So well, oh go ahead, go no you go, No you.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Go, No you go, no you go.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
We announced this earlier today, about three hours ago, a
partnership with You and the Rain and iHeartMedia Seattle. We
are deepening our long standing collaboration to provide premiere audio
coverage for soccer fans across the PNW. And the best part, Brian,
of this press release that I really like for fans
(26:05):
of both clubs. Leading sports radio KJUR talent like Softy,
Dick Faane.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
And Jackson Felts. Wow, how about that?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Are set to be on site at Luhman for select
matches of both clubs, conducting live remotes, interacting with fans
and drinking tequila with Brian Schmetzer pre match on the
Lumenfield concourse.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
It says that how about that.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Brian, Congratulations We still get to be buddies for at
least a few more years.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Well, I thought you had me on the show because
we were buddies, not because of some iHeartRadio Seattle partnership.
I thought it was just you and me.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
No, if we weren't radio partners, you wouldn't be here.
Let's be on them just kidding. Hey, first of all, honestly,
we're happy to do it. We're fired up for the
partnership to continue. I know that we'd like to be
celebrating something else besides what happened last night. And I
think we asked you a couple weeks of the game
against Saint Louis, we thought maybe it was the best
game of the year year. Does this one maybe go
(27:02):
the polar opposite for you last night?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Well? Yeah, I mean, look, I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
We did not play well. You know, it kind of
sucked actually, but you know, I mean that's gonna happen
if you can't score goals. And look, I can't fault
you know, because I mixed the team, so I can't
fault the players. I got to own some of that.
(27:27):
You know. I thought that the last game we played
against LFC, we beat them five to two with kind
of a similar lineup, although Jordan came on at halftime
when we kind of opened things up. But you know,
I got faint that we got a deep roster, and
you know, last night it certainly didn't happen for us.
But there's one big butt. I mean, goals change games.
(27:50):
They scored the first goal and then Danny Lava came
within six inches of scoring. Pedro had a header to
hit the crossbar osase Rosario. You know he has it
anywhere else in the goal. Maybe it's one one at
half time and maybe the game is different. I'm not
saying we would have won, but at least we would
have put ourselves in a position to be competitive.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Well, three games in eight days is tough. But what
would you say to fans who said, coach, you shouldn't
rotate your lineup, just start all your best guys because
they're pros and they should be able to play that much.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Well, that's how Jordan Morris got hurt. That's how Bigger
Day la Vega got hurt when I played him on
two days rest. There's certain things in our sport that
we have to take into consideration. We have the Club
World Cup coming up, where I need to be cognizant
of that because we want to compete in that tournament.
(28:45):
And MLS is a long season, and so you know,
I rested Stephen Fry. Christian Rodin had logged the most
minutes of anybody on our squad. So this was the
game I decided to do. It didn't work all.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Well, I guess I guess the question that would be,
does that naturally maybe let you not be as irritated
about what happened last night. You're a competitor, you don't
like seeing things like last night. But if you had played,
if you had played all those guys that you arrested
and still got your ass kicked, that would have been
a problem.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
That would have been a bigger problem. Yeah. Or if
we go down to Portland on the weekend and the
guys that I rested don't perform to their abilities, yeah,
then I'm going to catch a lot of flak as well.
But look again, last time we played LAFC up here
in Seattle, score line was five to two, and Steve Tarundelo,
the coach, he and I were talking after last game
in Seattle and then last night the similarities. The teams
(29:42):
are close, the LFC and US, we're close. We're going
to be there at the playoffs at the end of
the year.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Well, let's move on to the Portland Bastards. Coach.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
We got them coming up, So they're off to a
pretty good start in twenty times five. What's your take
on the bastards.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Well, they there outperforming all their stats, you know, Jackson
can tell you all the expected goals and they're outperforming things.
They're just believing that they can win. And they had
a good midweek result against RSL and nil Mill draw
on the road for them. They won their last home game.
So you know, we're not afraid to go down there.
(30:20):
We've actually had some very good games down there, but
it is going to be a challenge.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I just think that this complimentary tone that you're taking
towards Portland right now, I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
And I want to hear you say something derogatory about Portland.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Okay, Portland sucks.
Speaker 11 (30:39):
There's a drop Jackson, right enough, speaking of I will
give you the expected goals here, because you're better than
Portland in both categories Seattle for expected goals twenty one
point two, Portland is only at sixteen point four or
five ahead there for allowed, you're also four to seven, sorry,
seven below them. You know what I expect, by the way,
I expect you to kick their ass on side. Sure,
(30:59):
nothing enough with us expected gold schmol nonsense. I mean
a couple of weeks ago, I think you asked us
the question, the rhetorical question, why can't we play the
same on the road as we play at home?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Then you went out and won three to one at Houston.
So how do you.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Play like that again in a hostile environment like the Timbers?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Or is it even possible to do that down there?
Speaker 4 (31:20):
You think, no, it's possible. Look, we went down there
a couple of years ago, maybe it was last the
year before, I think, beat them six to two. We've
had some good results there. Last year we were one
one and one against them in the regular season. Those
teams are always tough because there are arch rivals. They're
going to be up for the game. The fans always
(31:41):
get into it, you know, got the fish and all
the stupid things. They stay up there. So I mean,
it's going to be a good atmosphere. Our guys loves
playing in that atmosphere, and you know, hopefully, hopefully we
can you know, play well and give them the middle
finger after the game.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Are you going to have our second favorite Jackson, not
Jackson Feltz, but Jackson Reagan back for this game?
Speaker 4 (32:04):
He is probably not going to make it back, Dick.
I'm figuring Dallas our next home game, Dallas. That's the
return date.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
How about Jordan Morris, how's he doing? How are his spirits?
How often do you talk and what's the update there?
Speaker 10 (32:18):
Man?
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Well, I talk to you. We talk on a daily
basis because I go out of my way just to
make sure I say hey, good morning. You know how
as you as your son, your kid, you know how
you're feeling. He's better, Softy, he's getting better. He's on
the grass again. He's running around. I mean not at
his top speed, of course, but we're getting him back
(32:39):
on the grass. So he's still ways out. That's still
Club World Cup, but he's doing better.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
That's pretty cool that you guys talk every day, so
like you've got his number, you can text him whenever
you want.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Oh, for sure, I got all their numbers.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Wow, that's pretty cool. Who's the biggest name you have
in your cell phone?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
You think.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
The biggest name?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Yeah, the biggest celebrity in your cell phone?
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Safty Dave Boler.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Okay, number two behind me, biggest celebrity. And by the way,
let me ask you your question. Go ahead, Nick Haynes,
Dick Maine.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
When somebody.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
When somebody dies, do you take their number out of
your phone automatically?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Because I use you leave it in.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
I got like Hank Aaron's number, of Pete Rose's numbers in,
they're still really I can't get rid of him.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
How about you com.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
I leave it in. Look, I can tell you a story. Look,
Ziggy was my mentor and he's such a good guy,
and he's in my phone literally, like and God rest
his soul. He passed on here about five years ago
or something like that, like a couple of years ago,
I swear to God, Softie. I'm just sitting there and
all of a sudden, my phone buzzes and it's Ziggy
Schmidt and I am freaking out. I am like going,
(33:46):
holy crap, Diggie's calling me from heaven and you know
all this sort of stuff. Well, his wife Val had
kept his phone and she like pucket died me.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
It was like my heart was beating, like like really.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Be like, wow, that is amazing good lung numbers, right,
that's right. You never know.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah, Well, coach, we're exactly a month away from the
Club World Cup. So what does depth preparation, rather, when
does the depth preparation start for that.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Well, we've got this next game against Portland. Then we're
going to play the following weekend. But that's the start
of another three game week, then away at Vancouver and
then it's Club World Cup, so I gotta get through Saturday.
Then we got one more tough stretch of three home games.
That's the that's the beauty. The terrible part of the
(34:41):
schedule is we've got three away games in a week.
But now we get three home games in a week,
which is much much better. And then we'll start focusing
on the Club World Cup. Uh, when we get a
little bit closer and the games are a little spread.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Out, all right, listen, go get them on Saturday, six
pm on the f right here on KJAR and fired
up to continue this partnership with you guys. And I
don't think I'm speaking out of turn when I say this.
We love carrying the games, we love having the access
and all that stuff, But personally, my favorite part of
this partnership with us and the Sounders is doing this
show with you every week, man, every week.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Well, I appreciate that, since we're being serious. I love you,
and I love Dick, and I even like Jackson. I
even like Jackson. When you go on, when you guys,
when you guys go to when you guys come to
the stadium, maybe you guys do a remote show. You
guys can come in the coaches room prior to the game.
(35:40):
I'll treat you guys like the big timers.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
You guys are well if you do that, you know
we I know what Jackson's reaction is going to be
if you let him into your office before the game.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yes, I mean, dude, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Man, Come on, how about how about the three of
us stand on the sideline with you during a game?
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Can we do that and just kind of hang with
you during the game?
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Is hey, you can do that as a warm up.
You guys can watch this warm up. That'd be great.
I'd love it, all.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Right, man, Hey, great stuff. Go get them Sorry about
last night. Go kick Portland's ass on Saturday, and we're
talking a.
Speaker 4 (36:12):

today here at iHeartMedia, Seattle and going to extend this
thing for a long time.
