Brought to you by Sweet James. It eggs Beard of Justice.
Nobody comes through for people like Sweet James. He knows
what to do if your insurance company is trying to
take advantage of you and you need legal representation, and
that representation comes in the form of the dense Beard

the number you don't pay unto your settle. That's eight
(01:39):
hundred nine million, or Sweet James dot co. Why are
you breathing like a panther? How do panthers breathe? You know,
why are you breathing like a panther?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I didn't realize I was breathing other any other way
that I normally breathe.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I'm sorry, friends up the stairs or something.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
No, No, we're all good. Yeah, I'm actually feeling great.
All right, Well, so glad you're feeling good. I'm sorry
about the Mariners. I was worried.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You know, the further they go, the higher the stakes
and the further the fall to the ground, which is upsetting.
And I know it's been difficult for you, and I
tried to say, hey, what a great year. I texted
that to you and I came back with a stump
where my gentle hand used to be with f that.
(02:26):
You know, I'm sorry. I don't think anybody wants to
hear that. Right now.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
What I want to hear is, hey, you know what,
you go be miserable, you miserable.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Bastard, because bones alone just all I want to do.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I want to dig a hole and I want to
stick my head at it. I want you to leave
me the f alone.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
That's what I want, all right. We won't discuss it.
We can discuss it. If Dodgers start on Friday now
with the start why why do you do that? What
do you mean? Why do you do that? Dodgers Blue
Jays start Friday? Really like, I don't know that I
need you.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I need you to come on this show and and
give me a breakdown of the schedule of the world
freaking series.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I'm on edge here, man, Come on, Okay, I'm sorry,
good god, I mean I you know, there was somebody
who came on your show last week who warned of
your ability to emotionally handle this.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
And see who is that? You and me I was
the one that warned you. I'm being sarcastic.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I'm well aware of my shortcomings as a sports fan,
and it infects my career and my job.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It's been horrible, man, since Monday night.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
You know, I got Seahawk fans up my ass on
social media. You know this should this should not bother
you anywhere near as much as the loss to the
You know what, go f yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It bothers me. Whatever bothers me? Is it bothers me? Okay,
it's up.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
To you to tell me what I should be bothered by,
what I shouldn't be bothered by, telling.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
You what you should or shouldn't be bothered by. I'm
just saying, if this is the way you act when
your baseball team competes for the World Series, perhaps it's
better that they do what they normally do, which is nothing.
Because if you're going to be this upset, am I wrong?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
It's not about the loss, it's about the way it happened.
I would have rather been that, you know what. I
would have rather exactly. You know, oh, you just wanted
to get swept out of town into the lake. I
would have rather just gotten my face beat in four
days in a row, like.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
You know what, I think softing needs to be cheered up, Tim,
And I'm sorry to do this, but should we play
one pitch?

No swing in the voy ball left field in deep
Rose turns. Oh my god, wait to hear this guy.
Wait to hear the color analyst. Oh my god, Ben,

Speaker 3 (05:09):
That's the last thing I needed to hear. Well, you
know the last thing there? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Do you know the Blue Jays you're ugly? How's that sound?
Everybody knows that I was voted ugliest on the team
two years running. Okay, well you know, just walk off
the island. Okay, my god. When it comes to ugliness,
I have a trophy winner. Quasimotive looks at you and says,
this guy's ugly. The Blue Jays have like a song
(05:37):
that they wrote in nineteen eighty three. Listen to how
Stupid this song is a bat and that's not.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Why do you go on the air and start ripping
Lincoln Riley and Jen Cohen some more?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Trying to fart nowhere.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I'm sorry that something I've said has gained attention nationally.
God excuse me my freaking Twitter feed and the hell

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Well, yeah, because your team is losing.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Oh God, dude, you have no idea what you're doing

Speaker 2 (07:56):
I'm sorry. This is gonna be a problem for a lot.
I said. I said last week, I said, what concerned
about your ability to emotionally handle the stakes said this?
And I was right. You know I know that. I look,
I have emotional problems and suffer from crippling anxiety, and

you know where our little booth is at Husky Stadium, well,
Greg and Mario, and the game is happening in front
(09:07):
of me in person, and I'm watching the Mariner game
on a small little TV.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Couldn't even give a damn about what was happening on
the field. I know, it's all baseball. Postseason is all consuming.
I understand. I'm just so used to the Dodgers success
that I don't You don't really worry about it one

maybe not for me. So what's your problem with Jen
Cohen and Lincoln Ry? Oh well, i'd look, I'm all
over social media. I can't go five minutes with that

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Nothing's off limits now between you and me. Nothing nothing, Sorry,

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Listen, you have got to be kidding me.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Ben, That is the best moment in sports I have
ever seen.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
When springer hits a dinger who knows yes, you know
him by the trail of dead. You know you want
to talk about the thing or no? If I didn't
need to fill the rest of this segment. I'd hit
up on your ass. I really would you got the ball?

Speaker 3 (10:50):
If you got the balls, I do it like if

Speaker 5 (11:15):
Hey, old Tony the stuff of legend.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Jackson. What do you think should we dump his ass? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Yeah, I'm you know what, Petros, If you're really gonna
do this right now?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
This this this sucks, man. We don't need this.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I've been doing it for fifteen minutes. Dude. Well, I
don't know how.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I just started listening.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Hey, if you guys got the balls, dude, do it. Brother.
I don't know where this has come from. Honestly serious.
I mean I was fine, you know, and then Kate's
kept going, and then everything Kate's played, he started attacking me, personally,
attacking my personal appearance.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Here's yeah exactly you started it. You definitely started playing.
I wanted to play you the song. Why would I
want to hear this? Because it sucks. Do you want
to hear the Brewers song They got swept? The Brewer
song is actually pretty good. I want you to kick
the Blue Jays ass in four games. That's what I want.
Not all over that, but I want That's what I
want to see happen.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Man.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I want to see show hey, go over to Vladimir
and bend him over and shove his thirty three thirty
right up his ass.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
That's what I want to see up his ass, up
his ass, Like, take a Springer with you, all right?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Well, Springer is not very popular around here because of
the twenty seventeen World Series.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Right, Oh my god, and he was with the Astros. God,
you've just you've just ruined the entire vibe of whys
like you were already upset an old.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Tony towering wall high drive, right field. He's done it again.
Show hey, old Tani to the top of the pavilion
in right field.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You're not gonna winn pleasure watching Otani.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I will I will get pleasure out of watching that.
I'm rooting for you, guys, big time, rooting for you,
hardcore man.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I want you to take care of him for us,
But your attitude I don't have an attitude. I didn't
do anything different motives, so I didn't do anything. I
don't even know, like I couldn't name the Toronto manager,
like I don't know what's going on. What is your
problem to attack me? What is your problem with Lincoln
Riley and Jen Cohen? Now? What's your issue? I don't
(13:29):
like am messing with the Notre Dame game. It's what
are they doing? What are they doing? They're messing with it?
How are they messing with it? They're talking about how
they don't want to play it. They want Notre Dame
to come to the table. They want to get something
out of a negotiation and move the game to like
at the Atlantis Casino or the Allegiate Stadium or somewhere worse.
(13:52):
They don't. I mean, I'm sure that moving it wouldn't
be the end of the world for me, But just
the fact that they'd mess with it at all and
act like they have something coming to them is wrong.
Notre Dame USC represents our identity as USC or Notre
Dame football players, and it represents the reach of college
football in a time where there was trains and it's
supposed to transcend conference realignment and the transfer portal and
(14:14):
all that stuff. It's been going one hundred years. It's
a very special game.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
And it bothers me that Lincoln Riley not only is
so soft that he's been talking about not playing it
as if that's negotiable as the USC coach, and the
fact that the administration would listen to him and sat
sit there and act like just a fifty year deal
with what we're supposed to do isn't what they should
(14:40):
be doing us. He goes out there in the add
years in October just like they did, and they come
out here in November just like they do, and the
bar is high. I'm sorry, it's USC football. If you're
worried about going to Notre Dame and playing, then you
shouldn't have moved to the big ten and taken everybody
with you. Jen is the one that wants to move
this line. No, well, you know now she's involved.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
She didn't say anything about it, but a couple weeks
ago she kind of backed Lincoln Riley's play. And I
understand that. You know, they're to negotiate with Notre Dame
and say this is what we want, But there's no
like to me there's nothing, there's no negotiating. Notre Dame's right,
We're gonna do what we've always done. And then these
people sit there and say, well, Notre Dame needs us
(15:23):
on their schedules. No, they don't. They have A and
M in Miami this year, like they play anybody. Notre
Dame is fine. They have their own TV deal. And
if playing Notre Dame is too hard for USC and
the current state of things, then maybe they shouldn't. Just
they should just not wear the USC football uniform. They
should wear those dumbass highlighter Seahawks uniforms or something. Get
(15:45):
the label off the helmet. Take I mean, well, it's
not USC football if they're not playing Notre Dame. So
I have a real problem with trying to tweak it
at all. Now. It has been moved in the past
because way back in the day, still in the days
of TRYS, people moved it back from November new October
(16:06):
because USC didn't like going there in November on the train.
But now it's like, okay, it's mid October. It's not
even late October. Okay, sorry, it was raining. You shouldn't
have called a double pass.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
It's uh, it's just ridiculous to me that something that
you play at USC football so you can take the
field at Notre Dame and vice versa, and for anybody
to ask any other question about that that's involved in
the US administration or coaching staff, to me is wrong.
It should be a moot point when and how they
(16:38):
play Notre Dame. Well, that is an unbelieve my partner
size a lot, as you can imagine.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
You know, I'm pretty.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Tiresome, but that was an unbelievable exhalation of frustration. I'm
just I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed in you and your behavior.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
What about Tim Gates? Tim Kates gets up every day
for scam. Do you know what scam is? No sacks
and Kate's in the am Steve Sacks, second dodge or
second baseman. Oh, come on, you know, somebody's gotta win
and somebody's got to lose. You hurt me. You're not
taking as well, I'm not at all. You just you
(17:20):
hurt me. You cut me deep. Just realize that when
I'm not trying to it's just a game like, yeah,
you cut me deep man, emotionally. Okay, Well, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. This had to play out on the air.
I didn't mean for it to be such a such
a you know, I thought we'd have a little fun.
But you know, I mean, imagine if the Mariners were
playing the Dodgers. I don't think our relationship would survive it.
(17:44):
Do I sound like a guy that's into having some fun. No,
you sound you sound unhinged, which is what I warned
of last week. All Right, we gotta go. I'm sorry,
and I'm sorry Jackson, I need you're not forgive.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Hey, good luck against those those pesky uh fighting a
lion ies.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah they are. Week.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
We'll talk in a week. We got we got, we
got some things back here. We gotta we gotta reconsider something.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Well, if you're so butt hurt that you feel like
you need compensation, don't forget to call Sweet James at
eight hundred and nine million or sweet James dot com.
He'll hear your grievance and tell you if you have
a case.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Petros, Yes, before you go on behalf of all Mariner fans.
I felt I felt a Popadacus at the old p
on Twitter. Talk to me, let him have it, Let
them have it at the old p on Twitter. Hit
them up, tell them how you feel, We'll.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
See him man. Bye, Softy, Sorry.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Petros Papadacus with us, Jackson, what in the hell just happened?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
There's no way that really happened? Am I on Canda camera?
Good back? That sucked.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Kevin Harland joins at five, Coming up, Husky Hawks at six.
We got some discussion to get to next on ninety
three three KJRFM.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
From the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now
back to Softy and Dick on your home for the Huskies,
Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ R FM.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
It's up to you to tell me what I should
be bothered by, what I shouldn't be bothered by, telling
you what you should or shouldn't be bothered by. I'm
just saying, if this is the way you act when
your baseball team competes for the World Series, perhaps it's
better that they do what they normally do, which is nothing.
Oh all right, Well, I just did something Jackson off
the air that I hardly ever knew and I haven't
done here in a long time. And Dick fan can
(19:51):
tell you what I just did because he saw the
whole thing go down.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Tell Jackson what just happened.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Softy saw a text which he took exception two and
called the guy up.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
And reamed him.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
Let me just say this, It was a total BS
text like we get. We get texts all the time,
I know, but like I just read it on the air,
I mean to like I'm called fortimonials.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I'm gonna remove it.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Well, I just I just had a nice conversation with
a guy. I thought it ended fine. You you heard
this conversation two o six. Soft He is an effing fraud.
One day he fakes tears over the Mariners and shares
a phony family story. The next day he pays his
pretend brother to troll us. All I bet David is
drinking your cold Bruce Starbucks on the air right now,
probably has money on the Ducks to win. The whole
(20:40):
thing makes me sad. Wow, So I called the guy.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I called the.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Guy cause I'll just say this, all right, and I'll
just say it once and I'll leave it alone. And
I know I'm giving people out there a lot of ammunition,
a lot of things you can bust my balls about.
But there's one thing that I won't stand for at all.
And that's questioning my sincerit. Oh my god, there will
not staying for any of that nonsense. So get up
out of here with that crap man.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
Okay, you are a lot of things, fraudulent is not
one of them.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
So I call it the guy. You know, I probably
shouldn't have called him, but I called him. But we
had a nice little conversation, so I didn't I didn't
get the gentleman's name, but I did thank him for.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Tuning in, So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I mean, look, you know, I thought about blowing him up,
thought about blowing him up, thought about blowing up you know,
when he said you don't have the balls to blow
me up? I thought about doing it. Jackson and I
talked about it. You can confirm that by the way
that we did talk about it. And I just didn't want,
you know, but I didn't want to be seen as
a bitch, so I let him go, let him roll.
And there's certain things out there. You know, this dick,
I got on you for the Kenny Wheaton stuff. There's
(21:42):
four or five topics that I will never find funny.
I think what happened on Monday night is the latest
Kenny Wheaton forty nine to Ken Bay Sonics Moving and
this on Monday Night. Put this in the category of
things that I will never find funny, never want to
bust my balls about, never want to joke about, laugh about,
or have any fun with at all.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Ever. Ever, so it's on the list. So yeah, I
thought about it.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
But if it wasn't Petros, Honestly, if it was somebody
else doing it, I probably would have said the hell
with this and gotten his ass off the air. But
I do know that behind the scenes, I know what
kind of heart Petros has.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
He's a good dude.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
He's just trying to be funny in his own little way,
and honestly, it set me off. I'm over it now,
but only for one reason, and it's because it was him.
That's it, And really quick, does that makes sense? Everything
would have been fine. He played the and him and
Tim they played the highlight, Yeah, the highlights the thing
(22:42):
like guys.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
I can only tell you how I reacted to it.
I heard it for the first time, just like everybody.
The first couple of minutes, I actually was kind of chuckling.
I was like, Okay, it's Petros being Petros. I didn't
even really mind the highlight and then it but then
it just kept going.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
It just kept.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
Going on, and it turned from Okay, this is a
funny joke to like, dude, enough okay, I mean, you're
busting our balls.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I get it. I was kind of laughing at first,
but enough is enough.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
And at some point I don't know if it was
minute four, minute five, it certainly was before minute like
fifteen that I got pissed off.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
And then finally by the end I was like, geez,
I get it.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Well here's the thing for me.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
So everybody has got that friend right where that friend
can say whatever they want to you. They can bust
your balls about anything. Like the guy over there that
you never met, he says the same joke to you,
it's gonna land totally differently than if your buddy who
you've known for thirty years says the same thing.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I mean, you know, you got friends like that.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I got buddies like that that We bust each other's
chops about everything. We tell jokes to each other that
most people would find highly offensive. But we're doing it
about ourselves, right, Like they'll take shots at me and
my background and where I'm from and what I do
and my upbringing, and it's.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
It's okay because we're all boys.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
But if some random ass nobody starts doing that, then
we're gonna have a problem. Everybody has a friend like that,
and Petros is that kind of friend for me. That's
the only reason why I let that go. But I
do feel bad for the people out there in the
audience that don't have that kind of relationship with him.
(24:35):
I think a lot of people that listen through the
radio may have an indirect relationship like that with him.
And maybe you didn't find it offensive whatso maybe you
agree with me if it was anybody else besides me,
Like if some random jackass from La it was just
some right, that's a whole different animal, whole different effing animal.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Right.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
But the only the only reason, you guys got to
understand this, the only reason why I let that go
because it was my guy and it was him, and
that's it.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
That's all. But I told him, man, he's been texting me.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
He tuned in and listened during a break and his
first question to me was do I really look fat?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
It's what? And I said no, But still go f yourself,
is what I told. So there you go.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
I think a big part of this is intention, right.
I mean, like so, I always go back to this
story in junior high. My junior high teacher, Vincent Noto,
always let us out five minutes early if we would
answer a question correctly. So he asked us one day,
how do you spell my wife's name? And his wife
is named Robin, so instead of spelling it rob y n,
I said, I d IoT.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
That landed me a month in detention.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
But the intention of my the joke was a joke,
and it was to be funny, and we ended up
having a nice laugh over eight years later.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
But still there's.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Some jokes where you can try to be funny, they
just don't appropriate and it doesn't land.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Petro's it didn't land.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
And I have no problem telling him that he pissed
me off, and I have no problem telling him to
go f himself, and he has no problem telling me
to go f myself.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
And we're talking our way.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Did it any point though, for you guys, was it
funny at any point?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
No? I was getting pissed, I was getting mad, I
was getting pilled.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
I was kind of chuckle maybe, See I was never chuckling,
per se.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I was like all right, You're one and done, like
that's it. You get it off your chest, chest and
you move on. And now this is just getting ridiculous.
Like now, if we were in the studio together, I'm
not saying I fight the guy, because that's insane.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I'm fifty two years old, for God's sake. He's also
a fullback.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Well, and you know the David Locke story right about
the Stanford California game, the band game in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
So Locke is a Stanford guy.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
He went to Oxenville College, but he grew up a
big Stanford fan, kind of like me. He's a big
Stanford just local yokel. And We're on the air one
day and I'm kind of joking about that game from
thirty years ago whatever, and he rolls up a newspaper
and he slaps me across the face with a live
radio just bang.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
He's all pissed off. I may have done that to him.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
If Petros was.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
In that room with me, I may have thrown this
freaking notebook at it and just boom right in his face.
So again, I uh, I get it. People that didn't
like it and are pissed off. I love that that
you're pissed off. I would just say this, hammer the
hell out of him on Twitter, go get him at the.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Old p on social media.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
I could give his phone number out if you want,
on the air, because well, he uses his phone numbers
their text line on their radio show in La like
plenty of.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
People have it.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
Oh yeah, does he still use it? Will he be
okay with they're doing that? I mean, do I give
it to him permission? Maybe that's the Maybe that's his penance,
his penances. I'm giving out his phone number and his address.
All right, son of a bitch. This is going to sting,
guys for a long time or so it's gonna stay.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
We know how long it's gonna sting.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
Just think about those other times that you just mentioned
the years.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Ago, for a long, long, long dude.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
The Kenny Wheaton game was a year before the Mariners
made the playoffs for the first time ever in ninety five.
And it still pisses me off when I see that
thing again. There's only one dude in this business, one
that I would ever allow to get away with. And
you know what, guys, I would like to apologize for
one other thing. I am only thinking of myself right now,
(28:21):
when I say I'm sorry, I'm thinking about myself because
I was able to handle it.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
It irritated the piss out of me.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I was able to handle it, though, because it's my guy, Petros.
But I guarantee you there were people that were not
able to handle that, And for those of people, I
am sorry that you had to deal with that because
I'm only thinking about myself in that regard right I'm
being selfish for sure,
It's time for our weekly conversation with college football analyst
Petros Papadikas.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
I didn't realize I was breathing other any other way
that I normally breathe.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I'm sorry, friends up the stairs or something.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
No, No, we're all good. Yeah, I'm actually feeling great.
All right, Well, so glad you're feeling good. I'm sorry
about the Mariners. I was worried.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You know, the further they go, the higher the stakes
and the further the fall to the ground, which is upsetting.
And I know it's been difficult for you, and I
tried to say, hey, what a great year. I texted
that to you and I came back with a stump
where my gentle hand used to be with f that.
(02:26):
You know, I'm sorry. I don't think anybody wants to
hear that. Right now.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
What I want to hear is, hey, you know what,
you go be miserable, you miserable.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Bastard, because bones alone just all I want to do.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I want to dig a hole and I want to
stick my head at it. I want you to leave
me the f alone.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
That's what I want, all right. We won't discuss it.
We can discuss it. If Dodgers start on Friday now
with the start why why do you do that? What
do you mean? Why do you do that? Dodgers Blue
Jays start Friday? Really like, I don't know that I
need you.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I need you to come on this show and and
give me a breakdown of the schedule of the world
freaking series.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I'm on edge here, man, Come on, Okay, I'm sorry,
good god, I mean I you know, there was somebody
who came on your show last week who warned of
your ability to emotionally handle this.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
And see who is that? You and me I was
the one that warned you. I'm being sarcastic.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I'm well aware of my shortcomings as a sports fan,
and it infects my career and my job.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It's been horrible, man, since Monday night.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
You know, I got Seahawk fans up my ass on
social media. You know this should this should not bother
you anywhere near as much as the loss to the
You know what, go f yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It bothers me. Whatever bothers me? Is it bothers me? Okay,
it's up.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
To you to tell me what I should be bothered by,
what I shouldn't be bothered by, telling.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
You what you should or shouldn't be bothered by. I'm
just saying, if this is the way you act when
your baseball team competes for the World Series, perhaps it's
better that they do what they normally do, which is nothing.
Because if you're going to be this upset, am I wrong?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
It's not about the loss, it's about the way it happened.
I would have rather been that, you know what. I
would have rather exactly. You know, oh, you just wanted
to get swept out of town into the lake. I
would have rather just gotten my face beat in four
days in a row, like.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
You know what, I think softing needs to be cheered up, Tim,
And I'm sorry to do this, but should we play
one pitch?

know the last thing there? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (05:14):

the island. Okay, my god. When it comes to ugliness,

Stupid this song is a bat and that's not.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Why do you go on the air and start ripping
Lincoln Riley and Jen Cohen some more?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Trying to fart nowhere.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I'm sorry that something I've said has gained attention nationally.
God excuse me my freaking Twitter feed and the hell

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Well, yeah, because your team is losing.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Oh God, dude, you have no idea what you're doing
to me right now.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I'm sorry. This is gonna be a problem for a lot.
I said. I said last week, I said, what concerned
about your ability to emotionally handle the stakes said this?
And I was right. You know I know that. I look,
I have emotional problems and suffer from crippling anxiety, and
(08:18):
I just know what's gonna trigger me and I also
know what's gonna trigger you. Brother. This is a terrible,
terrible thing for the city of Seattle. I feel bad,
But hey, how about those Huskies Husky Hanks coming on.

you know where our little booth is at Husky Stadium, well,
Greg and Mario, and the game is happening in front
(09:07):
of me in person, and I'm watching the Mariner game
on a small little TV.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Couldn't even give a damn about what was happening on
the field. I know, it's all baseball. Postseason is all consuming.
I understand. I'm just so used to the Dodgers success
that I don't You don't really worry about it one

Cohen and Lincoln Ry? Oh well, i'd look, I'm all
over social media. I can't go five minutes with that

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Listen, you have got to be kidding me.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Ben, That is the best moment in sports I have
ever seen.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
When springer hits a dinger who knows yes, you know
him by the trail of dead. You know you want
to talk about the thing or no? If I didn't

Speaker 3 (10:50):
If you got the balls, I do it like if

Speaker 5 (11:02):
McGill drives one left center field, dig you one of one.

Show.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Hey, old Tony the stuff of legend.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Jackson. What do you think should we dump his ass? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Yeah, I'm you know what, Petros, If you're really gonna
do this right now?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
This this this sucks, man. We don't need this.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I've been doing it for fifteen minutes. Dude. Well, I
don't know how.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I just started listening.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Hey, if you guys got the balls, dude, do it. Brother.
I don't know where this has come from. Honestly serious.
I mean I was fine, you know, and then Kate's
kept going, and then everything Kate's played, he started attacking me, personally,
attacking my personal appearance.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Here's yeah exactly you started it. You definitely started playing.
I wanted to play you the song. Why would I
want to hear this? Because it sucks. Do you want
to hear the Brewers song They got swept? The Brewer
song is actually pretty good. I want you to kick
the Blue Jays ass in four games. That's what I want.
Not all over that, but I want That's what I
want to see happen.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Man.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I want to see show hey, go over to Vladimir
and bend him over and shove his thirty three thirty
right up his ass.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
That's what I want to see up his ass, up
his ass, Like, take a Springer with you, all right?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Well, Springer is not very popular around here because of
the twenty seventeen World Series.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Right, Oh my god, and he was with the Astros. God,
you've just you've just ruined the entire vibe of whys
like you were already upset an old.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Tony towering wall high drive, right field. He's done it again.
Show hey, old Tani to the top of the pavilion
in right field.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You're not gonna winn pleasure watching Otani.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I will I will get pleasure out of watching that.
I'm rooting for you, guys, big time, rooting for you,
hardcore man.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I want you to take care of him for us,
But your attitude I don't have an attitude. I didn't
do anything different motives, so I didn't do anything. I
don't even know, like I couldn't name the Toronto manager,
like I don't know what's going on. What is your
problem to attack me? What is your problem with Lincoln
Riley and Jen Cohen? Now? What's your issue? I don't
(13:29):
like am messing with the Notre Dame game. It's what
are they doing? What are they doing? They're messing with it?
How are they messing with it? They're talking about how
they don't want to play it. They want Notre Dame
to come to the table. They want to get something
out of a negotiation and move the game to like
at the Atlantis Casino or the Allegiate Stadium or somewhere worse.
(13:52):
They don't. I mean, I'm sure that moving it wouldn't
be the end of the world for me, But just
the fact that they'd mess with it at all and
act like they have something coming to them is wrong.
Notre Dame USC represents our identity as USC or Notre
Dame football players, and it represents the reach of college
football in a time where there was trains and it's
supposed to transcend conference realignment and the transfer portal and
(14:14):
all that stuff. It's been going one hundred years. It's
a very special game.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
And it bothers me that Lincoln Riley not only is
so soft that he's been talking about not playing it
as if that's negotiable as the USC coach, and the
fact that the administration would listen to him and sat
sit there and act like just a fifty year deal
with what we're supposed to do isn't what they should
(14:40):
be doing us. He goes out there in the add
years in October just like they did, and they come
out here in November just like they do, and the
bar is high. I'm sorry, it's USC football. If you're
worried about going to Notre Dame and playing, then you
shouldn't have moved to the big ten and taken everybody
with you. Jen is the one that wants to move
this line. No, well, you know now she's involved.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
She didn't say anything about it, but a couple weeks
ago she kind of backed Lincoln Riley's play. And I
understand that. You know, they're to negotiate with Notre Dame
and say this is what we want, But there's no
like to me there's nothing, there's no negotiating. Notre Dame's right,
We're gonna do what we've always done. And then these
people sit there and say, well, Notre Dame needs us
(15:23):
on their schedules. No, they don't. They have A and
M in Miami this year, like they play anybody. Notre
Dame is fine. They have their own TV deal. And
if playing Notre Dame is too hard for USC and
the current state of things, then maybe they shouldn't. Just
they should just not wear the USC football uniform. They
should wear those dumbass highlighter Seahawks uniforms or something. Get
(15:45):
the label off the helmet. Take I mean, well, it's
not USC football if they're not playing Notre Dame. So
I have a real problem with trying to tweak it
at all. Now. It has been moved in the past
because way back in the day, still in the days
of TRYS, people moved it back from November new October
(16:06):
because USC didn't like going there in November on the train.
But now it's like, okay, it's mid October. It's not
even late October. Okay, sorry, it was raining. You shouldn't
have called a double pass.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
It's uh, it's just ridiculous to me that something that
you play at USC football so you can take the
field at Notre Dame and vice versa, and for anybody
to ask any other question about that that's involved in
the US administration or coaching staff, to me is wrong.
It should be a moot point when and how they
(16:38):
play Notre Dame. Well, that is an unbelieve my partner
size a lot, as you can imagine.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
You know, I'm pretty.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Tiresome, but that was an unbelievable exhalation of frustration. I'm
just I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed in you and your behavior.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
What about Tim Gates? Tim Kates gets up every day
for scam. Do you know what scam is? No sacks
and Kate's in the am Steve Sacks, second dodge or
second baseman. Oh, come on, you know, somebody's gotta win
and somebody's got to lose. You hurt me. You're not
taking as well, I'm not at all. You just you
(17:20):
hurt me. You cut me deep. Just realize that when
I'm not trying to it's just a game like, yeah,
you cut me deep man, emotionally. Okay, Well, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. This had to play out on the air.
I didn't mean for it to be such a such
a you know, I thought we'd have a little fun.
But you know, I mean, imagine if the Mariners were
playing the Dodgers. I don't think our relationship would survive it.
(17:44):
Do I sound like a guy that's into having some fun. No,
you sound you sound unhinged, which is what I warned
of last week. All Right, we gotta go. I'm sorry,
and I'm sorry Jackson, I need you're not forgive.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Hey, good luck against those those pesky uh fighting a
lion ies.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah they are. Week.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
We'll talk in a week. We got we got, we
got some things back here. We gotta we gotta reconsider something.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Well, if you're so butt hurt that you feel like
you need compensation, don't forget to call Sweet James at
eight hundred and nine million or sweet James dot com.
He'll hear your grievance and tell you if you have
a case.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Petros, Yes, before you go on behalf of all Mariner fans.
I felt I felt a Popadacus at the old p
on Twitter. Talk to me, let him have it, Let
them have it at the old p on Twitter. Hit
them up, tell them how you feel, We'll.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
See him man. Bye, Softy, Sorry.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Petros Papadacus with us, Jackson, what in the hell just happened?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
There's no way that really happened? Am I on Canda camera?
Good back? That sucked.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Kevin Harland joins at five, Coming up, Husky Hawks at six.
We got some discussion to get to next on ninety
three three KJRFM.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
From the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now
back to Softy and Dick on your home for the Huskies,
Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ R FM.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
It's up to you to tell me what I should
be bothered by, what I shouldn't be bothered by, telling
you what you should or shouldn't be bothered by. I'm
just saying, if this is the way you act when
your baseball team competes for the World Series, perhaps it's
better that they do what they normally do, which is nothing.
Oh all right, Well, I just did something Jackson off
the air that I hardly ever knew and I haven't
done here in a long time. And Dick fan can
(19:51):
tell you what I just did because he saw the
whole thing go down.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Tell Jackson what just happened.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Softy saw a text which he took exception two and
called the guy up.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
And reamed him.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
Let me just say this, It was a total BS
text like we get. We get texts all the time,
I know, but like I just read it on the air,
I mean to like I'm called fortimonials.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I'm gonna remove it.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Well, I just I just had a nice conversation with
a guy. I thought it ended fine. You you heard
this conversation two o six. Soft He is an effing fraud.
One day he fakes tears over the Mariners and shares
a phony family story. The next day he pays his
pretend brother to troll us. All I bet David is
drinking your cold Bruce Starbucks on the air right now,
probably has money on the Ducks to win. The whole
(20:40):
thing makes me sad. Wow, So I called the guy.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I called the.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Guy cause I'll just say this, all right, and I'll
just say it once and I'll leave it alone. And
I know I'm giving people out there a lot of ammunition,
a lot of things you can bust my balls about.
But there's one thing that I won't stand for at all.
And that's questioning my sincerit. Oh my god, there will
not staying for any of that nonsense. So get up
out of here with that crap man.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
Okay, you are a lot of things, fraudulent is not
one of them.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
So I call it the guy. You know, I probably
shouldn't have called him, but I called him. But we
had a nice little conversation, so I didn't I didn't
get the gentleman's name, but I did thank him for.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Tuning in, So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I mean, look, you know, I thought about blowing him up,
thought about blowing him up, thought about blowing up you know,
when he said you don't have the balls to blow
me up? I thought about doing it. Jackson and I
talked about it. You can confirm that by the way
that we did talk about it. And I just didn't want,
you know, but I didn't want to be seen as
a bitch, so I let him go, let him roll.
And there's certain things out there. You know, this dick,
I got on you for the Kenny Wheaton stuff. There's
(21:42):
four or five topics that I will never find funny.
I think what happened on Monday night is the latest
Kenny Wheaton forty nine to Ken Bay Sonics Moving and
this on Monday Night. Put this in the category of
things that I will never find funny, never want to
bust my balls about, never want to joke about, laugh about,
or have any fun with at all.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Ever. Ever, so it's on the list. So yeah, I
thought about it.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
But if it wasn't Petros, Honestly, if it was somebody
else doing it, I probably would have said the hell
with this and gotten his ass off the air. But
I do know that behind the scenes, I know what
kind of heart Petros has.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
He's a good dude.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
He's just trying to be funny in his own little way,
and honestly, it set me off. I'm over it now,
but only for one reason, and it's because it was him.
That's it, And really quick, does that makes sense? Everything
would have been fine. He played the and him and
Tim they played the highlight, Yeah, the highlights the thing
(22:42):
like guys.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
I can only tell you how I reacted to it.
I heard it for the first time, just like everybody.
The first couple of minutes, I actually was kind of chuckling.
I was like, Okay, it's Petros being Petros. I didn't
even really mind the highlight and then it but then
it just kept going.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
It just kept.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
Going on, and it turned from Okay, this is a
funny joke to like, dude, enough okay, I mean, you're
busting our balls.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I get it. I was kind of laughing at first,
but enough is enough.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
And at some point I don't know if it was
minute four, minute five, it certainly was before minute like
fifteen that I got pissed off.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
And then finally by the end I was like, geez,
I get it.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Well here's the thing for me.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
So everybody has got that friend right where that friend
can say whatever they want to you. They can bust
your balls about anything. Like the guy over there that
you never met, he says the same joke to you,
it's gonna land totally differently than if your buddy who
you've known for thirty years says the same thing.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I mean, you know, you got friends like that.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I got buddies like that that We bust each other's
chops about everything. We tell jokes to each other that
most people would find highly offensive. But we're doing it
about ourselves, right, Like they'll take shots at me and
my background and where I'm from and what I do
and my upbringing, and it's.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
It's okay because we're all boys.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
But if some random ass nobody starts doing that, then
we're gonna have a problem. Everybody has a friend like that,
and Petros is that kind of friend for me. That's
the only reason why I let that go. But I
do feel bad for the people out there in the
audience that don't have that kind of relationship with him.
(24:35):
I think a lot of people that listen through the
radio may have an indirect relationship like that with him.
And maybe you didn't find it offensive whatso maybe you
agree with me if it was anybody else besides me,
Like if some random jackass from La it was just
some right, that's a whole different animal, whole different effing animal.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Right.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
But the only the only reason, you guys got to
understand this, the only reason why I let that go
because it was my guy and it was him, and
that's it.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
That's all. But I told him, man, he's been texting me.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
He tuned in and listened during a break and his
first question to me was do I really look fat?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
It's what? And I said no, But still go f yourself,
is what I told. So there you go.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
I think a big part of this is intention, right.
I mean, like so, I always go back to this
story in junior high. My junior high teacher, Vincent Noto,
always let us out five minutes early if we would
answer a question correctly. So he asked us one day,
how do you spell my wife's name? And his wife
is named Robin, so instead of spelling it rob y n,
I said, I d IoT.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
That landed me a month in detention.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
But the intention of my the joke was a joke,
and it was to be funny, and we ended up
having a nice laugh over eight years later.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
But still there's.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Some jokes where you can try to be funny, they
just don't appropriate and it doesn't land.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Petro's it didn't land.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
And I have no problem telling him that he pissed
me off, and I have no problem telling him to
go f himself, and he has no problem telling me
to go f myself.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
And we're talking our way.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Did it any point though, for you guys, was it
funny at any point?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
No? I was getting pissed, I was getting mad, I
was getting pilled.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
I was kind of chuckle maybe, See I was never chuckling,
per se.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I was like all right, You're one and done, like
that's it. You get it off your chest, chest and
you move on. And now this is just getting ridiculous.
Like now, if we were in the studio together, I'm
not saying I fight the guy, because that's insane.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I'm fifty two years old, for God's sake. He's also
a fullback.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Well, and you know the David Locke story right about
the Stanford California game, the band game in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
So Locke is a Stanford guy.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
He went to Oxenville College, but he grew up a
big Stanford fan, kind of like me. He's a big
Stanford just local yokel. And We're on the air one
day and I'm kind of joking about that game from
thirty years ago whatever, and he rolls up a newspaper
and he slaps me across the face with a live
radio just bang.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
He's all pissed off. I may have done that to him.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
If Petros was.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
In that room with me, I may have thrown this
freaking notebook at it and just boom right in his face.
So again, I uh, I get it. People that didn't
like it and are pissed off. I love that that
you're pissed off. I would just say this, hammer the
hell out of him on Twitter, go get him at the.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Old p on social media.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
I could give his phone number out if you want,
on the air, because well, he uses his phone numbers
their text line on their radio show in La like
plenty of.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
People have it.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
Oh yeah, does he still use it? Will he be
okay with they're doing that? I mean, do I give
it to him permission? Maybe that's the Maybe that's his penance,
his penances. I'm giving out his phone number and his address.
All right, son of a bitch. This is going to sting,
guys for a long time or so it's gonna stay.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
We know how long it's gonna sting.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
Just think about those other times that you just mentioned
the years.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Ago, for a long, long, long dude.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
The Kenny Wheaton game was a year before the Mariners
made the playoffs for the first time ever in ninety five.
And it still pisses me off when I see that
thing again. There's only one dude in this business, one
that I would ever allow to get away with. And
you know what, guys, I would like to apologize for
one other thing. I am only thinking of myself right now,
(28:21):
when I say I'm sorry, I'm thinking about myself because
I was able to handle it.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
It irritated the piss out of me.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I was able to handle it, though, because it's my guy, Petros.
But I guarantee you there were people that were not
able to handle that, And for those of people, I
am sorry that you had to deal with that because
I'm only thinking about myself in that regard right I'm
being selfish for sure,
