Is he Adam Sandler? I'm almost pissing my pants funny.
Two nights ago, well find out, I'll be the judge
talked about how apparently he got a lot of flack
for scheduling a show during the World Series. Can He
explained his thought process as a Mariner fan.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Had some people messaging me during the run. They're like, dude,
I thought you were a Mariners fan. I can't believe
you would schedule a show in Seattle during the World Series.
And I was like, dude, I'm the most Mariners fan
Cause it didn't even cross my mind.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
It never hit me.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
We scheduled these things very far in advance, we got
we booked this last December, last December, we booked this,
and not one time was I like, oh, late October,
I bet the MS will be making a run.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Now, you figure you'd be safe, right, I mean, you know, look,
and we're getting technical. Last December. You know you think,
all right, maybe there's a shot. You know, they're in
a time and place now where they're Okay, No, I
did not. Well, this is the guy that's scheduled a
cruise during the NFC champion It was a trip to
(03:44):
It was a trip to Maui during the NFC Championship
in twenty thirteen, coming off the Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Loss in two thousand. That is not accurate.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Okay, tell us what say the starting quarterback when I scheduled,
I scheduled at eighteen months in advance, eighteen months starting
quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks when I scheduled it was Tavaris.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And I was like, who the hell schedules a vacation
a year and a half out.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
A year and a half year and a half.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Wow, Hey, you know what you have to be thinking
about going on a cruise in twenty forty three, what's
the best month of the year that I should schedule
that for. There's no confidence the reasons and cruises.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
You gotta do it. A cruise, you gotta do it
as well, because all the good rooms book up.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
You start eighteen months in advance that you can book
and all the good ones are gone by like twelve
months in advance.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
So you have to do it like we literally.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Did it on the first day we could do it,
so we got the exact.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Room that we wanted in Malli.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
By the way, are you watching this game right now?
You're watching Game six. There's a dude with a blue
top sitting behind home plate and it's like he's signaling
to the runner on third base. Right now, what's coming
from the Yamamoto? You got to watch this thing and
tell me what the hell's going on with the guy.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
First of all, how the guy by, I don't know,
I don't know. Just watch that dude, that old dude
on the right, old guy in the right.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
He's got it. He's got a blue top on. You
tell me what the hell that guy's doing out there? Yeah,
just watch it. Please report back to me, all right,
all right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
What's that? Dick? More from our.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Friend Dustin Nickerson, who apparently is so funny he gets
two spots and fun with Audio. Also talked about his
emotions after the Mariner's magical season came to an end.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
I've been processing my emotions about this, all right since
the Mariners lost.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
All right. First, I was angry.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
He's very angry, people like you angry, bizarre or again Wilson,
I was like, no, man, I'm angry at my parents.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
That I was born here.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Like I was like, you could have just flown down.
You could have taken a one way trip to San Francisco.
And I'd had like thirty championships in my forty years
of life, all right, So I was angry with them,
and then I was sad and I apologized to my
son for passing on generational trauma, cause you.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Know, hurt people, hurt people.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
And I was like, you don't have to be born
here either, and I just passed that on to you.
And then I've reached full acceptance. I reached full acceptance,
all right. I've come to grips with the fact I
always tell myself when all my Seattle teams are breaking
my heart, it could always be worse, all right.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I could also be a Ducks fan.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So I do kind of a little bit blame my dad,
because you know, my dad's from New York, right, and
so in my lifetime, the Yankees have won seven World
Series championships. My dad grew up a Yankee fan. Mets
didn't really become a thing until a lot later in
his life, so he was a Yankee fan. So he
could have shoved that down my throat. I didn't he
wanted to. I don't know, he just decided not to.
(06:46):
I never really asked him. It's a great question, and yours.
I never asked him. Why Why didn't you just make
this a Yankee household with Yankee memorabilia all over the place.
And they moved out here in nineteen seventy, even before
the seven years Dick, before they became a thing, they
moved to Seattle, so he could have absolutely I was
born four years before the Mariners became a franchise. Here's
(07:08):
he could have shoved it down my throat if you
wanted to.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
My theory is, if you were six or seven years
older than you are right now.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I think you'd have been a Yankee fan because he.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Would have wanted to pass on baseball to an eight
nine ten year old.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
But you were still too young to point where when
the Mariners became right, and you were.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Probably two when they announced them Seattle was getting a baseball.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Team, your team.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Well, you know, hindsight looking back, Yeah, he could have
done it.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
He could have.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
He could have just had you know, Mickey Mannal's jersey,
Jodomaggio's jersey, Pennance, all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You would have had amer championship in the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Either they won in two thousand nine, and I'd have
seven of them total seven your life. Yes, and I
would have been to the World Series. One would five
or five?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Six? Seven? Should I stopped there? By the way, I'm
gonna stop there, all right? Hey, Dick, did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 7 (08:03):
David?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
On this Halloween, we revisit a classic from the late
great Mike leach ll Racougar head Coat So Good. After
a win, he was asked which Halloween candy was his favorites.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
We talked about on the broadcast, how you hate candy corn?
What's your favorite halloweeny corn?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I mean I completely ate candy corn when I was
a kid. Well, gummy bears, let's see, gummy bears for sure,
we're regular.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
But the hairbow it's got to be the airbow ones.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
And then the other thing I like is, uh is
when they used to have the the sprees in a
box outstanding yet to go to the dollar store.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
To find us, but I do.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
And then the latest, the latest, you know, there's still
candy innovation. Although while back I found the europe had
better candy than we did overall because they have gummy everything.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
And then h but the uh, you know.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
They have those nerds clusters, which is new. Yeah, which
is good. The nerds clusters is good. And then if
you go chocolate, probably all them enjoy love it.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Hopefully you'll get some.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Of that next week.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Thanks coming all right, thank you guy.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
If Mike Leach likes Spreeze, gummies and nerds clusters, did
he buy all of his candy at Kmart when he
was a kid, Holy crap, you know I just thought
of something. By the way, people ask your all time
favorite Halloween candy, which a lot of ways is just
your all time favorite candy right some ways?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Right sure, I think.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
For me number one overall seed and you're gonna laugh
at me for this. There's nothing better, And I've never
had a bad one. Tob larone chocolate actually Halloween.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
That's what I'm saying. Number one over the little triangles
and oil. Yeah, you get those of the duty free
story report. You can buy me the airport, but you
can buy them anywhere.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
But they got the big giant one that's like the
size of your leg. Yeah, you gotta have a knife
and fork to eat part of it. I'm telling you.
If you opened up up a a a triangle shaped
box of toblarone, like toffee in there?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I know, well some of them do have toffee. Yeah,
Uh is it toffee or.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Like the yel No, it's like the rice, the rice crispy. Sorry,
there's a new get in there. Yeah, they've got different
different flavors.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Excuse me.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
My problem with to larone is if I if I
have one triangle, I have a second one and a
third one.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I leave the whole damn thing, all of it.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
And it's worth the diarrhea that comes along with it.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It's been a while since I had a tot blon.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
It's so good.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Halloween movies so good. See Chuck asked me that I'm
not a big scary movie guy. I mean, I'm like
scary well microwave massic here back in the nineteen seventies,
you know, just a horribly produced, low budget horror film.
But if there's one horror movie that scared the piss
out of me when I watched it the first time,
it's called The People Under the Stairs.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You ever see that movie.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
There's also a movie called The Changeling that will scare
you straight. It is unbelievable, dude. But Freddy Krueger. For
me when I was a kid, that was the big one.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah, Jason, right, Yeah, Halloween, you know, and Friday the thirteenth.
But you know, you mentioned seeing a Sandler this week.
I think hub Halloween is a fun movie. I think
it's a funny Sandler. If you like Sandler movies, you'll
like him. Never uses all the same characters he uses
in every one of his Sandler movies.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Wow, wow, Well is the lunch lady in there? Is
she in?
Speaker 7 (11:25):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Is she in? Hube? Halloween?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
So when you say Hub Halloween, like the like, like
Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison. This is all the characters and
your management guy all that stuff. Okay, got it. I
gotta check that out. That's great, Hey, Dick, did you
happen to hear that?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
During last night Thursday night football broadcast, kirklib Street and
Al Michaels came to the topic of the equivalent of
show Hey O Tani in the NFL, and a certain
Mariner's Al West rival caught some strays in the process.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
We mentioned what.
Speaker 9 (11:54):
Would be equivalent in football be to Tani and I said,
you know, just touchdown. You throw a five touchdown and
you've played defense and you pick offs three. Shammy Baugh
in nineteen forty three for Washington against Detroit threw four
touchdown fashes and intercepted four bashes. Well, there it is,
there you go at punted.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
What year was that?
Speaker 9 (12:14):
Eight forty two forty three? Ship Luckman had four and
two picks for shaky.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Do you think O'tani is getting the appreciation that he deserves?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Finally, Yeah, you think fine? He was over there eight
years at Anaheim. No one cares tell me about how
I live out there. Well talked about first get PA
Todder uniform ns.
Speaker 9 (12:34):
Yeah, everybody pays attention international celebrity.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Okay, where at what point in the game did that
conversation come up past? Probably yes, I'm saying yeah, Well,
that sounds like a twenty eight to six conversation between
Al Michaels and Kirk kurb Street. And by the way,
Shoeo Tani did win two MVPs when he was with
the Angels.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
So to Kirk's point, nobody cared.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Well, they don't care as much as they do now
because they're in the postseason, correct, right, that's.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Why they care.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
But to say that, I mean, I get what he's
saying in general terms, but to say that nobody cared
about a Tani, that's hogwak.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Well, see Herbstreet missed the golden opportunity to drop a
line there?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Did you call the game? Al Right?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I mean that was the golden opportunity in nineteen forty four,
I play for Sammy Ball.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
He might be sensitive about that. So you think show
Hey wins the MVP this year, right, I mean yeah, correct? Okay,
that means Shoo Tani has finished one or two in
the m v P race for five consecutive seasons.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
It's it's shocked that he was even second in a
couple of team right.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Who wanted who wanted? The year he finished second? What
year is it? Twenty twenty two? It was Aaron Judge
because he was in. He was in. Yeah, Aaron just
think there should just be one MVP in baseball, probably
more so now because of interteg play.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Yeah, and I mean saying everybody's doing the d H
and it's bounce schedule.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, there's no you should just have one most Valuable Player.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I agree. I think it's time. I mean, the the
inter play thing has ruined everything. The DH thing has
ruined everything. It's just one big, fat league full of schmucks.
I'm totally windy.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Dick. Forget it.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
One MVP, one MVP to rule the world. All right, Hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
What's that? Dick? On First Take This Morning, Stephen A.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Smith was asked about his thoughts on the Dolphins situation,
specifically the decision to let go of GM Chris Greer
but keep Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
For the rest of the season. BS. You know what,
I hope that Miami lose every game. The rest of
the sea can't give a damn what they say. The trash.
I mean, you got you gotta be kidne meed.
Speaker 10 (14:34):
You gonna make change, may change if you can change
and give the job to an interim GM before the
trading deadline, you can change the head coach.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
But Mike McDaniel's with the glasses give.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
It one word answers as the press.
Speaker 10 (14:49):
Conference, looking like a man from the geek.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Squad for best Boss.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
You understand coaching on the damn sideline that that brother,
that brother Okay gets to keep job, gets to keep
for the.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Rest of the season. Well how this team has looked
not ATBs.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I want to hit that that man need to be
going to So I do kind of agree with him
that the one guy that really can maybe make a
difference and impact the football team, the head coach the
rest of the way, gets to keep the job. But
the guy that's already set the roster and really doesn't
have much say over the rest of the year until
the offseason, you know, sands the deadline. I get you
(15:28):
know that is the GM. I would have fired both
of them. I would have whacked them both. And he's
a dead man walking I think we all know that
in Miami. By the way, mL Football on Twitter track
this at his press conference after the game last night.
Fit thirteen minutes and sixteen seconds worth of audio, and
Mike McDaniels said, one hundred and fifty seven times, way
(15:53):
fifty seven times in thirteen minutes teen minutes.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
That's like twelve times.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
It's that's like every eight second. I mean it's I mean,
if it's every eight seconds, it's more than.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
It's it's like almost it's half ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Man.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I think it's dangerous though, to fire a coach mid season,
and then if you put the interim in and the
interim happens to go Antonio peer situation, like Oh, everybody's
rallying around this guy, and then you hire me, and
you're like, you set yourself back three more years.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Then if you're gonna do that, wait till the end
of the year to fire the GM.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Then just don't hire the guy. Yeah, I mean, like,
what are you trying to do. You're trying to win games,
you're trying to take maybe they're trying to take maybe.
I mean who would be there? Who would be the
interim guy if they fired McDaniels. Who's who's on their staff?
Frank Smith is their OC. Butch Berry is the old
Darryl Pebble. Who's the passing game coordinator?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
D b dp shot? How about this the donkey? Lem you?
John p the French donkey on their staff? Yes? Remember him?
And he's on their snapper for the seal.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Rob Remember Bobby ten years ago? Remember Bobby Slow.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
He's on their staff. He was the next big thing.
Bobby Slowan what is he doing?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
He's the senior pass game course for the Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Supposed God? Is he fallen?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Far? Holy crap. You could hire the French donkey. You
could hire Bobby Slow, you could hire Darryl Bevell. There's
a lot of guys on that staff you could hire.
Let's do one more, Hey, Dick, did you happen to
hear that I.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Don't listen to? And one? What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Former commander Fred Smoot remember him, was on the Barstool
Broadcast podcast Sorry and gave his pick for the best
bets of the week in the National Football League.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Check this out.
Speaker 10 (17:56):
We're gonna win. He's great lasting commanders. We'll beat the
Seattle I'm telling you this now.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Jedi five is back. Force McLaurin. We tear it just risk. Oh,
Debo got it. The rest of the guys got it.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
Sure, I'm telling you now, JD five, the Force, Moke Appler,
We're gonna win this game.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
You notice I'm taking the Seahawks. You notice Fred didn't
mention the Commander's defense at all.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I thought they played way up.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
If Fred decided to put on his pads on Sunday
and and and lace him up for the Commanders seed
to be one of the youngest guys on their team.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Okay, that's.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Now I'm taking the Seahawks. McDonald's area. You don't like,
Oh listen, that's that defense is tough.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
It's tough to watch.
Speaker 10 (18:42):
You're right, but guess what I told you. If you
see ghosts, it's the chance you'd think twelve people kill.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
Okay, it might be you.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
So.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Frenz murd is forty eight years old.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Commander's average age of their starters on defense is almost
twenty eight years old, by the way, Minnesota as the oldest,
and almost twenty nine years old in Minnesota. Yeah, I
don't know, man, I mean, you know, just a guy
tooting the horn for his old team whatever. Yeah, I'm
just it's not ridiculous to think the Commanders win this game.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
Right.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Well, Like I said, it's a terrible spot for the Shawks.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
But I mean they're just everything that could have gone
right for the Commanders last year went right for the
Commanders last year, and.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Now they're seeing.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Hey, what is it like when you have the normal
amount of injuries that everybody else does, you turn into
a pretty damn bad football team?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Right exactly? All right, let's do this.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
We're gonna break Rick new heiswell coming up on ninety
three three kJ IRFM.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Now back to Football Friday, sponsored by Tito's Handmate Vodka
on your home for the NFL Sports Radio ninety three
point three r FL.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
You know, besides the obvious, I'm trying to figure out
why Shoeotani is so popular.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I mean, the obvious is the talent, clearly right.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
How attractive he is? He is a very good looking guy.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Number done.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Well, here's the thing is, he seems like he's very cordial.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Number one.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
He says a lord to the umpire, he says lord
to the catcher. A very playful guy having a good time.
And I think I just kind of figured it out.
He's a little pudgy, he's got a little baby fat, right,
you know, he just kind of he's kind of cute
like my my old aunt Ruthie would want to walk
up and squeeze his cheeks and.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Just so he's still cute.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
You know, it looks young. He does look young. He's
got a bit of a babyface, right, and he's.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Thirty years old? Is that how old he is?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
How old he's on time? I got to be right,
he's thirty one. He's thirty one to be thirty two
next July. So I mean he's not old, but he's
not you know, a young chicken kid.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, exactly. He just he just kind of has it all.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
And then the fact that he's Japanese and the fact
that he doesn't speak English and uses the translator, there's
kind of that air of mystery about him as way.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Yeah, it's like that. But but each row, each you row, you.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Can probably count on one hand how many times you
saw him actually smile, right, Like, I mean, I'm not
saying he was a depressed sob.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
But show, hey looks like he's having a great give
out yere right.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Well, when I asked Larry last week and I ask
you guys the same question I asked him about the
NBA worrying about not having an American face.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Of the league and like all of that.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
By the way, can I for a second, because you
brought that up, is that a thing?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Yes, it's very much a thing.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Does very much a thing that can you can you
have a international face of the NBA and it doesn't
seem to be a problem.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
In baseball at all. Out Larry had a good response.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
He's like, this has been going, like we've had international
players for fifty plus years, being since the days of Clemente,
right being.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Superstars in baseball? Have there not been an American? Right,
that's like a face right where in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
We've never had an era, not once where And this
is probably the first one where the face whoever you
want to say, the face of the league is and
ain't an American because the arguably the five best players
in the in basketball right all right from out of
the country.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, I mean, it doesn't bother me any, to be
honest with you. Maybe we're just used to it now,
but I mean I just like, remember when Tony Kuk
coach came over to play for the Bulls and how
big a deal that was?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
And then Drazen is it Patrevic? Is that right? Passed
away with the Nets?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
He was like the next big great thing vlotty devots,
you know, playing for Sacramento and the Lakers and all that.
So I don't know. I mean, when you brought that up,
I guess that's a thing, but I hadn't even thought
of it. And I just think about you know, baseball
has been relying so much on Cubans and Latinos and.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Dominicans for so many years.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
And now Asians and you know, Japanese players obviously Australians
have obviously made their way into Major League baseball as well.
So I think we all know this that you want
to play in the best leagues in the world. The
best leagues in the world except for a couple of sports,
namely soccer and cricket, are gonna be here in this country. NHL, NFL, Baseball, NBA.
(23:09):
They're all coming here, right, So look, I mean, I
think it's great that show Hey is the face of
Major League Baseball. He seems like a really easy guy
to root for. He seems like a real playful guy.
I know, after the Dodgers won that eighteen inning game,
there's a video in the Dodger clubhouse with Dave Roberts
firing them all up. Didn't work too well, by the way,
because they lost the next two games, but show he's
(23:30):
in there like making his pitching motion for the next day, like, yes,
I am starting tomorrow, and it was incredible. I'd love
to have a guy like that, just that attitude. Man,
he seems like to kind of do that. Everyone loves
to play for.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Why is it that we hate the Yankees so much
when they're really good? But this Dodger team the last
couple of years has seemed pretty likable.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Uh, because probably for us in our lifetime, it's still
fairly new. I mean, we grew up with the Yankees
kind of kicking ass a little bit, right, you know.
I Mean the Dodgers made the World Series in eighty eight,
and then when was their next one?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
After the eighty eight World Series? You tell me, oh, geez, well,
they've made it three times in the last no, four
times in the last.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
Yeah, they they made it in eighty eight, they went
and last year they did not get back to the
World Series for twenty years, twenty seventeen. Okay, then so
seventeen sorry two thousand lost nineteen eighty eight to two
thy seventeen.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
We're talking almost thirty years, thirty years they.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Were dominant the last ten.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
I mean, they've had the run of the last ten
that the Giants had like in the Europe two last.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Why we don't hate the Dodgers, right, I know why
twenty year old would hate.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Him because this is all they've known.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
But for you and me, I mean, they went to
the World Series in nineteen eighty one and they won
it with Fernando got back in eighty eight, and then
they won it and then they took thirty years off, right,
So we were never worried about the Dodgers. True during
that run from nineteen eighty eight to tooth or yeah,
nineteen eighty eight to two thy seventeen, when they went
(25:07):
to the World Series zero times. That run during our
lifetime from nineteen eighty eight to twenty seventeen, the Yankees
won it one, two, three, four, five, six times and
got their seven, eight, nine times. So we grew up
with the Yankees being the evil Empire. Well we also
here son grows up with the Dodgers being Evils. Maybe so,
(25:29):
but we're not going to play the Dodgers until we
get all the way there, right, And whereas we played
the Yankees three times, that's right.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And that's part of it too, is that you know
you've you've met him now, as you said three times,
right in the postseason ninety five, two thousand, two thousand
and one. I wanted to meet him this year, and
I thought they were going to meet him this year.
I thought, this is the way it's going to have
to go down, Challenger. We're gonna have to get by
the Yankees. It's gonna be the Mariners against the Evil Empire.
It's going to be two thousand, two thousand and one,
(25:56):
ninety five all over again. Col versus Judge for the MVP.
I mean, really, it would have been perfect. It would
have been would have been perfect. And I'm just stunned.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I'm stunned at how lifeless the Yankees were. I mean,
they just did not show up in that series. And
I was like, are the Yankees really as bad as Toronto?
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Really this good? And it was probably probably a combination right.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
Well, that the matchup also is not in favor of
the Yankees, like I said going into the Toronto series,
Toronto is the better team, but actually the matchup with
Detroit is a worst matchup for the Marinagers because of
how many lefties they had.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Right, tell you what I no, No, that's what I'm saying. Yeah,
I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
What I'm surprised about, guys, is the fact that Aaron
Boone is still there.
Speaker 11 (26:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I mean, if George Steinbrenner was still alive, there's not
a chance in hell Aaron Boone would still be the manager.
Aaron Boone has been the Yankees manager. You guys know
how long he's been the Yankee manager for Take a
wild guest, sixteen, Take a wild guest, Dick. How many
years has Aaron Boone been the Yankee manager for?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Top year?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Well, eight years, going back to twenty eighteen. They've made
the World Series one time in eight years. How many
Yankee managers under George Steinbrenner got eight years and one
World Series and kept their job.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
Well, and I think we're just seeing the reality of
the Yankees being the big, bad, spend all the money
team kind of not be the case anymore. It's the
Dodgers in Mets now. Well, because other teams are deciding
to spend money, right right. I mean the Blue Jays
spent a lot of money too. Blue Jays spent like
two hundred and fifty million. Well that's the thing everyone
in the sports bit here we're talking about. Oh, I
kind of want to root for the Blue Jays because
(27:21):
they're the underdog and like the Dodgers spent all this
the best team baseball coet buy. I'm like, guys, the
Blue Jays aren't this like fifteenth or sixteenth payroll team.
They're like the fifth. They spent They gave Flatty Junior
five hundred million this past offseason, so it's not like
they're anything different.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Number five in baseball and spending right.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Number five point on the Yankees, he made earlier in
the show. I mean, going back to twenty eighteen, they
have won one hundred, one hundred and three, ninety two
ninety nine. They had one down year twenty twenty three
where they win eighty too and eighty then ninety four
ninety four. That's even tough for the Yankees the fire
manager when you're averaging like ninety five wins a season.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
See, I would argue it's even easier Steinbrewner would have said,
this is ridiculous. Good enough team, You're a choking dog.
Come playoffs, you're out of here. There's not a chance
he would have stayed on if he was the if
he was the owner, if he was still alive today.
But I mean, you're right, man, the Blue Jays are.
This is not some small market team at all. This
is a team that spent two hundred and sixty million
(28:22):
dollars and then went out and got Shane Bieber at
the deadline and added him to their payroll.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
And he's done very well for them. I mean, that
was a great pickup by them.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
So I don't know, all right, Rick new Heiseel, let's

During a recent show in Seattle, comedian in Native Seattle

Speaker 3 (02:19):
A lot of Yeah? Yeah, okay? Is he funny? He's
pretty funny? Funny.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, listen to this clip, laughing balls off, funnier, just haha, funny?
Is he Adam Sandler? I'm almost pissing my pants funny.
Two nights ago, well find out, I'll be the judge
talked about how apparently he got a lot of flack
for scheduling a show during the World Series. Can He
explained his thought process as a Mariner fan.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Had some people messaging me during the run. They're like, dude,
I thought you were a Mariners fan. I can't believe
you would schedule a show in Seattle during the World Series.
And I was like, dude, I'm the most Mariners fan
Cause it didn't even cross my mind.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
It never hit me.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
We scheduled these things very far in advance, we got
we booked this last December, last December, we booked this,
and not one time was I like, oh, late October,
I bet the MS will be making a run.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Now, you figure you'd be safe, right, I mean, you know, look,
and we're getting technical. Last December. You know you think,
all right, maybe there's a shot. You know, they're in
a time and place now where they're Okay, No, I
did not. Well, this is the guy that's scheduled a
cruise during the NFC champion It was a trip to
(03:44):
It was a trip to Maui during the NFC Championship
in twenty thirteen, coming off the Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Loss in two thousand. That is not accurate.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Okay, tell us what say the starting quarterback when I scheduled,
I scheduled at eighteen months in advance, eighteen months starting
quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks when I scheduled it was Tavaris.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And I was like, who the hell schedules a vacation
a year and a half out.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
A year and a half year and a half.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Wow, Hey, you know what you have to be thinking
about going on a cruise in twenty forty three, what's
the best month of the year that I should schedule
that for. There's no confidence the reasons and cruises.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
You gotta do it. A cruise, you gotta do it
as well, because all the good rooms book up.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
You start eighteen months in advance that you can book
and all the good ones are gone by like twelve
months in advance.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
So you have to do it like we literally.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Did it on the first day we could do it,
so we got the exact.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Room that we wanted in Malli.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
By the way, are you watching this game right now?
You're watching Game six. There's a dude with a blue
top sitting behind home plate and it's like he's signaling
to the runner on third base. Right now, what's coming
from the Yamamoto? You got to watch this thing and
tell me what the hell's going on with the guy.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
First of all, how the guy by, I don't know,
I don't know. Just watch that dude, that old dude
on the right, old guy in the right.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
He's got it. He's got a blue top on. You
tell me what the hell that guy's doing out there? Yeah,
just watch it. Please report back to me, all right,
all right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
What's that? Dick? More from our.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Friend Dustin Nickerson, who apparently is so funny he gets
two spots and fun with Audio. Also talked about his
emotions after the Mariner's magical season came to an end.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
I've been processing my emotions about this, all right since
the Mariners lost.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
All right. First, I was angry.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
He's very angry, people like you angry, bizarre or again Wilson,
I was like, no, man, I'm angry at my parents.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
That I was born here.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Like I was like, you could have just flown down.
You could have taken a one way trip to San Francisco.
And I'd had like thirty championships in my forty years
of life, all right, So I was angry with them,
and then I was sad and I apologized to my
son for passing on generational trauma, cause you.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Know, hurt people, hurt people.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
And I was like, you don't have to be born
here either, and I just passed that on to you.
And then I've reached full acceptance. I reached full acceptance,
all right. I've come to grips with the fact I
always tell myself when all my Seattle teams are breaking
my heart, it could always be worse, all right.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I could also be a Ducks fan.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So I do kind of a little bit blame my dad,
because you know, my dad's from New York, right, and
so in my lifetime, the Yankees have won seven World
Series championships. My dad grew up a Yankee fan. Mets
didn't really become a thing until a lot later in
his life, so he was a Yankee fan. So he
could have shoved that down my throat. I didn't he
wanted to. I don't know, he just decided not to.
(06:46):
I never really asked him. It's a great question, and yours.
I never asked him. Why Why didn't you just make
this a Yankee household with Yankee memorabilia all over the place.
And they moved out here in nineteen seventy, even before
the seven years Dick, before they became a thing, they
moved to Seattle, so he could have absolutely I was
born four years before the Mariners became a franchise. Here's
(07:08):
he could have shoved it down my throat if you
wanted to.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
My theory is, if you were six or seven years
older than you are right now.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I think you'd have been a Yankee fan because he.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Would have wanted to pass on baseball to an eight
nine ten year old.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
But you were still too young to point where when
the Mariners became right, and you were.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Probably two when they announced them Seattle was getting a baseball.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Team, your team.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Well, you know, hindsight looking back, Yeah, he could have
done it.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
He could have.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
He could have just had you know, Mickey Mannal's jersey,
Jodomaggio's jersey, Pennance, all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You would have had amer championship in the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Either they won in two thousand nine, and I'd have
seven of them total seven your life. Yes, and I
would have been to the World Series. One would five
or five?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Six? Seven? Should I stopped there? By the way, I'm
gonna stop there, all right? Hey, Dick, did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 7 (08:03):
David?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
On this Halloween, we revisit a classic from the late
great Mike leach ll Racougar head Coat So Good. After
a win, he was asked which Halloween candy was his favorites.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
We talked about on the broadcast, how you hate candy corn?
What's your favorite halloweeny corn?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I mean I completely ate candy corn when I was
a kid. Well, gummy bears, let's see, gummy bears for sure,
we're regular.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
But the hairbow it's got to be the airbow ones.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
And then the other thing I like is, uh is
when they used to have the the sprees in a
box outstanding yet to go to the dollar store.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
To find us, but I do.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
And then the latest, the latest, you know, there's still
candy innovation. Although while back I found the europe had
better candy than we did overall because they have gummy everything.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
And then h but the uh, you know.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
They have those nerds clusters, which is new. Yeah, which
is good. The nerds clusters is good. And then if
you go chocolate, probably all them enjoy love it.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Hopefully you'll get some.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Of that next week.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Thanks coming all right, thank you guy.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
If Mike Leach likes Spreeze, gummies and nerds clusters, did
he buy all of his candy at Kmart when he
was a kid, Holy crap, you know I just thought
of something. By the way, people ask your all time
favorite Halloween candy, which a lot of ways is just
your all time favorite candy right some ways?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Right sure, I think.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
For me number one overall seed and you're gonna laugh
at me for this. There's nothing better, And I've never
had a bad one. Tob larone chocolate actually Halloween.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
That's what I'm saying. Number one over the little triangles
and oil. Yeah, you get those of the duty free
story report. You can buy me the airport, but you
can buy them anywhere.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
But they got the big giant one that's like the
size of your leg. Yeah, you gotta have a knife
and fork to eat part of it. I'm telling you.
If you opened up up a a a triangle shaped
box of toblarone, like toffee in there?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I know, well some of them do have toffee. Yeah,
Uh is it toffee or.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Like the yel No, it's like the rice, the rice crispy. Sorry,
there's a new get in there. Yeah, they've got different
different flavors.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Excuse me.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
My problem with to larone is if I if I
have one triangle, I have a second one and a
third one.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I leave the whole damn thing, all of it.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
And it's worth the diarrhea that comes along with it.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It's been a while since I had a tot blon.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
It's so good.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Halloween movies so good. See Chuck asked me that I'm
not a big scary movie guy. I mean, I'm like
scary well microwave massic here back in the nineteen seventies,
you know, just a horribly produced, low budget horror film.
But if there's one horror movie that scared the piss
out of me when I watched it the first time,
it's called The People Under the Stairs.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You ever see that movie.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
There's also a movie called The Changeling that will scare
you straight. It is unbelievable, dude. But Freddy Krueger. For
me when I was a kid, that was the big one.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah, Jason, right, Yeah, Halloween, you know, and Friday the thirteenth.
But you know, you mentioned seeing a Sandler this week.
I think hub Halloween is a fun movie. I think
it's a funny Sandler. If you like Sandler movies, you'll
like him. Never uses all the same characters he uses
in every one of his Sandler movies.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Wow, wow, Well is the lunch lady in there? Is
she in?
Speaker 7 (11:25):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Is she in? Hube? Halloween?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
So when you say Hub Halloween, like the like, like
Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison. This is all the characters and
your management guy all that stuff. Okay, got it. I
gotta check that out. That's great, Hey, Dick, did you
happen to hear that?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
During last night Thursday night football broadcast, kirklib Street and
Al Michaels came to the topic of the equivalent of
show Hey O Tani in the NFL, and a certain
Mariner's Al West rival caught some strays in the process.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
We mentioned what.
Speaker 9 (11:54):
Would be equivalent in football be to Tani and I said,
you know, just touchdown. You throw a five touchdown and
you've played defense and you pick offs three. Shammy Baugh
in nineteen forty three for Washington against Detroit threw four
touchdown fashes and intercepted four bashes. Well, there it is,
there you go at punted.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
What year was that?
Speaker 9 (12:14):
Eight forty two forty three? Ship Luckman had four and
two picks for shaky.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Do you think O'tani is getting the appreciation that he deserves?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Finally, Yeah, you think fine? He was over there eight
years at Anaheim. No one cares tell me about how
I live out there. Well talked about first get PA
Todder uniform ns.
Speaker 9 (12:34):
Yeah, everybody pays attention international celebrity.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Okay, where at what point in the game did that
conversation come up past? Probably yes, I'm saying yeah, Well,
that sounds like a twenty eight to six conversation between
Al Michaels and Kirk kurb Street. And by the way,
Shoeo Tani did win two MVPs when he was with
the Angels.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
So to Kirk's point, nobody cared.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Well, they don't care as much as they do now
because they're in the postseason, correct, right, that's.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Why they care.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
But to say that, I mean, I get what he's
saying in general terms, but to say that nobody cared
about a Tani, that's hogwak.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Well, see Herbstreet missed the golden opportunity to drop a
line there?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Did you call the game? Al Right?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I mean that was the golden opportunity in nineteen forty four,
I play for Sammy Ball.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
He might be sensitive about that. So you think show
Hey wins the MVP this year, right, I mean yeah, correct? Okay,
that means Shoo Tani has finished one or two in
the m v P race for five consecutive seasons.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
It's it's shocked that he was even second in a
couple of team right.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Who wanted who wanted? The year he finished second? What
year is it? Twenty twenty two? It was Aaron Judge
because he was in. He was in. Yeah, Aaron just
think there should just be one MVP in baseball, probably
more so now because of interteg play.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Yeah, and I mean saying everybody's doing the d H
and it's bounce schedule.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, there's no you should just have one most Valuable Player.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I agree. I think it's time. I mean, the the
inter play thing has ruined everything. The DH thing has
ruined everything. It's just one big, fat league full of schmucks.
I'm totally windy.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Dick. Forget it.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
One MVP, one MVP to rule the world. All right, Hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
What's that? Dick? On First Take This Morning, Stephen A.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Smith was asked about his thoughts on the Dolphins situation,
specifically the decision to let go of GM Chris Greer
but keep Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
For the rest of the season. BS. You know what,
I hope that Miami lose every game. The rest of
the sea can't give a damn what they say. The trash.
I mean, you got you gotta be kidne meed.
Speaker 10 (14:34):
You gonna make change, may change if you can change
and give the job to an interim GM before the
trading deadline, you can change the head coach.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
But Mike McDaniel's with the glasses give.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
It one word answers as the press.
Speaker 10 (14:49):
Conference, looking like a man from the geek.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Squad for best Boss.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
You understand coaching on the damn sideline that that brother,
that brother Okay gets to keep job, gets to keep
for the.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Rest of the season. Well how this team has looked
not ATBs.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I want to hit that that man need to be
going to So I do kind of agree with him
that the one guy that really can maybe make a
difference and impact the football team, the head coach the
rest of the way, gets to keep the job. But
the guy that's already set the roster and really doesn't
have much say over the rest of the year until
the offseason, you know, sands the deadline. I get you
(15:28):
know that is the GM. I would have fired both
of them. I would have whacked them both. And he's
a dead man walking I think we all know that
in Miami. By the way, mL Football on Twitter track
this at his press conference after the game last night.
Fit thirteen minutes and sixteen seconds worth of audio, and
Mike McDaniels said, one hundred and fifty seven times, way
(15:53):
fifty seven times in thirteen minutes teen minutes.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
That's like twelve times.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
It's that's like every eight second. I mean it's I mean,
if it's every eight seconds, it's more than.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
It's it's like almost it's half ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Man.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I think it's dangerous though, to fire a coach mid season,
and then if you put the interim in and the
interim happens to go Antonio peer situation, like Oh, everybody's
rallying around this guy, and then you hire me, and
you're like, you set yourself back three more years.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Then if you're gonna do that, wait till the end
of the year to fire the GM.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Then just don't hire the guy. Yeah, I mean, like,
what are you trying to do. You're trying to win games,
you're trying to take maybe they're trying to take maybe.
I mean who would be there? Who would be the
interim guy if they fired McDaniels. Who's who's on their staff?
Frank Smith is their OC. Butch Berry is the old
Darryl Pebble. Who's the passing game coordinator?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
D b dp shot? How about this the donkey? Lem you?
John p the French donkey on their staff? Yes? Remember him?
And he's on their snapper for the seal.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Rob Remember Bobby ten years ago? Remember Bobby Slow.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
He's on their staff. He was the next big thing.
Bobby Slowan what is he doing?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
He's the senior pass game course for the Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Supposed God? Is he fallen?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Far? Holy crap. You could hire the French donkey. You
could hire Bobby Slow, you could hire Darryl Bevell. There's
a lot of guys on that staff you could hire.
Let's do one more, Hey, Dick, did you happen to
hear that I.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Don't listen to? And one? What's that? Dick?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Former commander Fred Smoot remember him, was on the Barstool
Broadcast podcast Sorry and gave his pick for the best
bets of the week in the National Football League.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Check this out.
Speaker 10 (17:56):
We're gonna win. He's great lasting commanders. We'll beat the
Seattle I'm telling you this now.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Jedi five is back. Force McLaurin. We tear it just risk. Oh,
Debo got it. The rest of the guys got it.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
Sure, I'm telling you now, JD five, the Force, Moke Appler,
We're gonna win this game.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
You notice I'm taking the Seahawks. You notice Fred didn't
mention the Commander's defense at all.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I thought they played way up.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
If Fred decided to put on his pads on Sunday
and and and lace him up for the Commanders seed
to be one of the youngest guys on their team.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Okay, that's.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Now I'm taking the Seahawks. McDonald's area. You don't like,
Oh listen, that's that defense is tough.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
It's tough to watch.
Speaker 10 (18:42):
You're right, but guess what I told you. If you
see ghosts, it's the chance you'd think twelve people kill.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
Okay, it might be you.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
So.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Frenz murd is forty eight years old.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Commander's average age of their starters on defense is almost
twenty eight years old, by the way, Minnesota as the oldest,
and almost twenty nine years old in Minnesota. Yeah, I
don't know, man, I mean, you know, just a guy
tooting the horn for his old team whatever. Yeah, I'm
just it's not ridiculous to think the Commanders win this game.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
Right.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Well, Like I said, it's a terrible spot for the Shawks.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
But I mean they're just everything that could have gone
right for the Commanders last year went right for the
Commanders last year, and.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Now they're seeing.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Hey, what is it like when you have the normal
amount of injuries that everybody else does, you turn into
a pretty damn bad football team?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Right exactly? All right, let's do this.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
We're gonna break Rick new heiswell coming up on ninety
three three kJ IRFM.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Now back to Football Friday, sponsored by Tito's Handmate Vodka
on your home for the NFL Sports Radio ninety three
point three r FL.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
You know, besides the obvious, I'm trying to figure out
why Shoeotani is so popular.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I mean, the obvious is the talent, clearly right.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
How attractive he is? He is a very good looking guy.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Number done.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Well, here's the thing is, he seems like he's very cordial.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Number one.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
He says a lord to the umpire, he says lord
to the catcher. A very playful guy having a good time.
And I think I just kind of figured it out.
He's a little pudgy, he's got a little baby fat, right,
you know, he just kind of he's kind of cute
like my my old aunt Ruthie would want to walk
up and squeeze his cheeks and.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Just so he's still cute.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
You know, it looks young. He does look young. He's
got a bit of a babyface, right, and he's.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Thirty years old? Is that how old he is?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
How old he's on time? I got to be right,
he's thirty one. He's thirty one to be thirty two
next July. So I mean he's not old, but he's
not you know, a young chicken kid.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, exactly. He just he just kind of has it all.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
And then the fact that he's Japanese and the fact
that he doesn't speak English and uses the translator, there's
kind of that air of mystery about him as way.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Yeah, it's like that. But but each row, each you row, you.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Can probably count on one hand how many times you
saw him actually smile, right, Like, I mean, I'm not
saying he was a depressed sob.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
But show, hey looks like he's having a great give
out yere right.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Well, when I asked Larry last week and I ask
you guys the same question I asked him about the
NBA worrying about not having an American face.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Of the league and like all of that.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
By the way, can I for a second, because you
brought that up, is that a thing?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Yes, it's very much a thing.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Does very much a thing that can you can you
have a international face of the NBA and it doesn't
seem to be a problem.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
In baseball at all. Out Larry had a good response.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
He's like, this has been going, like we've had international
players for fifty plus years, being since the days of Clemente,
right being.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Superstars in baseball? Have there not been an American? Right,
that's like a face right where in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
We've never had an era, not once where And this
is probably the first one where the face whoever you
want to say, the face of the league is and
ain't an American because the arguably the five best players
in the in basketball right all right from out of
the country.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, I mean, it doesn't bother me any, to be
honest with you. Maybe we're just used to it now,
but I mean I just like, remember when Tony Kuk
coach came over to play for the Bulls and how
big a deal that was?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
And then Drazen is it Patrevic? Is that right? Passed
away with the Nets?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
He was like the next big great thing vlotty devots,
you know, playing for Sacramento and the Lakers and all that.
So I don't know. I mean, when you brought that up,
I guess that's a thing, but I hadn't even thought
of it. And I just think about you know, baseball
has been relying so much on Cubans and Latinos and.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Dominicans for so many years.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
And now Asians and you know, Japanese players obviously Australians
have obviously made their way into Major League baseball as well.
So I think we all know this that you want
to play in the best leagues in the world. The
best leagues in the world except for a couple of sports,
namely soccer and cricket, are gonna be here in this country. NHL, NFL, Baseball, NBA.
(23:09):
They're all coming here, right, So look, I mean, I
think it's great that show Hey is the face of
Major League Baseball. He seems like a really easy guy
to root for. He seems like a real playful guy.
I know, after the Dodgers won that eighteen inning game,
there's a video in the Dodger clubhouse with Dave Roberts
firing them all up. Didn't work too well, by the way,
because they lost the next two games, but show he's
(23:30):
in there like making his pitching motion for the next day, like, yes,
I am starting tomorrow, and it was incredible. I'd love
to have a guy like that, just that attitude. Man,
he seems like to kind of do that. Everyone loves
to play for.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Why is it that we hate the Yankees so much
when they're really good? But this Dodger team the last
couple of years has seemed pretty likable.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Uh, because probably for us in our lifetime, it's still
fairly new. I mean, we grew up with the Yankees
kind of kicking ass a little bit, right, you know.
I Mean the Dodgers made the World Series in eighty eight,
and then when was their next one?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
After the eighty eight World Series? You tell me, oh, geez, well,
they've made it three times in the last no, four
times in the last.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
Yeah, they they made it in eighty eight, they went
and last year they did not get back to the
World Series for twenty years, twenty seventeen. Okay, then so
seventeen sorry two thousand lost nineteen eighty eight to two
thy seventeen.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
We're talking almost thirty years, thirty years they.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Were dominant the last ten.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
I mean, they've had the run of the last ten
that the Giants had like in the Europe two last.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Why we don't hate the Dodgers, right, I know why
twenty year old would hate.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Him because this is all they've known.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
But for you and me, I mean, they went to
the World Series in nineteen eighty one and they won
it with Fernando got back in eighty eight, and then
they won it and then they took thirty years off, right,
So we were never worried about the Dodgers. True during
that run from nineteen eighty eight to tooth or yeah,
nineteen eighty eight to two thy seventeen, when they went
(25:07):
to the World Series zero times. That run during our
lifetime from nineteen eighty eight to twenty seventeen, the Yankees
won it one, two, three, four, five, six times and
got their seven, eight, nine times. So we grew up
with the Yankees being the evil Empire. Well we also
here son grows up with the Dodgers being Evils. Maybe so,
(25:29):
but we're not going to play the Dodgers until we
get all the way there, right, And whereas we played
the Yankees three times, that's right.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And that's part of it too, is that you know
you've you've met him now, as you said three times,
right in the postseason ninety five, two thousand, two thousand
and one. I wanted to meet him this year, and
I thought they were going to meet him this year.
I thought, this is the way it's going to have
to go down, Challenger. We're gonna have to get by
the Yankees. It's gonna be the Mariners against the Evil Empire.
It's going to be two thousand, two thousand and one,
(25:56):
ninety five all over again. Col versus Judge for the MVP.
I mean, really, it would have been perfect. It would
have been would have been perfect. And I'm just stunned.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I'm stunned at how lifeless the Yankees were. I mean,
they just did not show up in that series. And
I was like, are the Yankees really as bad as Toronto?
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Really this good? And it was probably probably a combination right.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
Well, that the matchup also is not in favor of
the Yankees, like I said going into the Toronto series,
Toronto is the better team, but actually the matchup with
Detroit is a worst matchup for the Marinagers because of
how many lefties they had.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Right, tell you what I no, No, that's what I'm saying. Yeah,
I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
What I'm surprised about, guys, is the fact that Aaron
Boone is still there.
Speaker 11 (26:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I mean, if George Steinbrenner was still alive, there's not
a chance in hell Aaron Boone would still be the manager.
Aaron Boone has been the Yankees manager. You guys know
how long he's been the Yankee manager for Take a
wild guest, sixteen, Take a wild guest, Dick. How many
years has Aaron Boone been the Yankee manager for?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Top year?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Well, eight years, going back to twenty eighteen. They've made
the World Series one time in eight years. How many
Yankee managers under George Steinbrenner got eight years and one
World Series and kept their job.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
Well, and I think we're just seeing the reality of
the Yankees being the big, bad, spend all the money
team kind of not be the case anymore. It's the
Dodgers in Mets now. Well, because other teams are deciding
to spend money, right right. I mean the Blue Jays
spent a lot of money too. Blue Jays spent like
two hundred and fifty million. Well that's the thing everyone
in the sports bit here we're talking about. Oh, I
kind of want to root for the Blue Jays because
(27:21):
they're the underdog and like the Dodgers spent all this
the best team baseball coet buy. I'm like, guys, the
Blue Jays aren't this like fifteenth or sixteenth payroll team.
They're like the fifth. They spent They gave Flatty Junior
five hundred million this past offseason, so it's not like
they're anything different.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Number five in baseball and spending right.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Number five point on the Yankees, he made earlier in
the show. I mean, going back to twenty eighteen, they
have won one hundred, one hundred and three, ninety two
ninety nine. They had one down year twenty twenty three
where they win eighty too and eighty then ninety four
ninety four. That's even tough for the Yankees the fire
manager when you're averaging like ninety five wins a season.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
See, I would argue it's even easier Steinbrewner would have said,
this is ridiculous. Good enough team, You're a choking dog.
Come playoffs, you're out of here. There's not a chance
he would have stayed on if he was the if
he was the owner, if he was still alive today.
But I mean, you're right, man, the Blue Jays are.
This is not some small market team at all. This
is a team that spent two hundred and sixty million
(28:22):
dollars and then went out and got Shane Bieber at
the deadline and added him to their payroll.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
And he's done very well for them. I mean, that
was a great pickup by them.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
So I don't know, all right, Rick new Heiseel, let's
talk some college football with with Rick. Get his thoughts
on everything happening at his alma mater, U dub obviously,
Rick new heisl courtesy of our friends at Taco Time.
He'll join us next on a busy, rainy Friday right
here on ninety three three KJRFM
