Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back, my friend. That's great to have you back
on the show.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
I gotta ask you, though, tell people what you're doing
because there's all these fancy schmancy titles and stuff going around.
So tell folks what you're going to be doing for
a Dandy Sprinkle staff.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Oh, first of all, thanks for having me back.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Man.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Without people like yourself, I don't know if this this
moment will happen. I'm going to be an assistant coach.
I think the title confused everyone at first, but look
forward to seeing me coach a lot and being on
the road recruiting and doing every single thing assistant coach
does and doing whatever it things to help with Danny
(00:38):
Sprinkle get over the hump and get us back to
some really good Husky basketball days.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Well, qupon talk about the why and the how? Why
are you back here? And how are you back here?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
You know what I think? Man, it's again. I'm thankful
for my time at USC under coach Mufflelman. It was
a great learning experience for me. I got into coaching
because it was a passion for myself, and I knew
it was something I was going to do long term.
But I knew I could only do it if I
really really cared about the place I was at, And
(01:12):
so you know, I would I would look at myself
in different colors and the other logo and say, man,
this isn't right. And so there there was a you know,
I had a change of heart. I didn't feel like I,
you know, really wanted to necessarily be there. And when
(01:34):
the opportunity came about to come back home, it presented itself.
I couldn't do anything. I couldn't even think about turning
it down.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, I think you're one thing is crystal clear. You're
You're more purple than gold than Conroy. Because he's still
down there by the way, Yeah we get, we get
to bust his balls about being down there with with
Eric Musselman. But tell me about Wesley Yates because you
were here with him for a year, banged up a
(02:03):
little bit, I think, kind of red shirt and then
goes to USC for one year averages fourteen points a game.
I love the fact that Danny's getting kind of more
of a refined product right Quincy than the one that
we saw two years ago. So there was so much
enthusiasm when he committed to come play for you at
Washington and now he's coming back. Tell us about this
(02:24):
version of Wesley Yates that we're getting that maybe we
did not see a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Wesley is my little cousin, and so you know, we
that's one project that taking a lot of pride in.
I think he you know, he has a lot of
the same characteristics and qualities I had as a player,
and so for him even coming out of high school
and to bring him out here, a place I loved,
(02:50):
it meant a lot to us. And so for us
to leave again he probably looked at that the other
colors like I did. You know, it just didn't go right.
And when the season ended, you know, he reevaluated the
situation and he felt he had unfinished business here, and
so we discussed it, and you know, I blessed the situation.
(03:12):
And you know, he is a refined player right now,
and he's one of the hardest workers I've ever come across.
He's one of the most dedicated and hardworking and gritty
players I've ever come across. And if you know him
in his heart and where he's at with this game,
you'll know that special things are going to come for
that kid, even though it didn't turn out the best
(03:35):
the first year, you know, I think we have a
lot a lot more to prove this second trip around.
And I like I told him since the beginning, if
he's not better than me in the Purple and Gold,
I'm gonna be disappointed. That's why I brought him here,
and that's why that's why we got unfinished business to
go handle.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
We take a look at the rankings.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I mean, you guys are your top twenty and recruiting
rankings for for incoming fresh he's been top fifteen and
transfer rankings, he's certainly one of those. So overall, talent wise,
this is the most talented Husky team in how long, cupond.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Oh Man, I don't know. I think last year, the
last year with coach Hopkins, was a really talented team.
I think, you know, when you lose Frank kep Nang
and Wesley Eights for a full year, we always say
what could have been? I think that was one of
the most talented teams with Keon Brooks and you know
the plethora of talent Moses Wood Savere Willard. I think
(04:33):
that was Braxton Mia. That was a pretty talented team,
but we underachieved I think, you know, there's there's a
lot of talent on these teams, but how do you overachieve?
How do you get to your ceiling with them? And
I think this is gonna be one of those teams
that hopefully resembles the early twenty tens when we were
making it to the tournament, making it to sweet sixteen,
(04:56):
because that's the bar, that's the bar I have step
for here, you know, and uh, I didn't take it personally,
you know, to come up short the first times. As
a coach, I would say, uh, but there's a lot
more to prove this time. And it's kind of being
the same resilient player I was now I'm just transferring
that over to being a coach. I think when I
first got here as a player, there was high, lofty
(05:19):
expectations of me, and even though it wasn't I didn't fail.
I just thought it came a little short, and I
always had a burning desire to prove people wrong. And
at the end it was a success story. And I
feel like it's going to be the same thing here
as a coach. Yeah, that's that's what I'm looking forward to.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Well. Quincy Pondexter is back at you, dub.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I think people are looking forward to you screaming at
me on Twitter again too, by the way, So will
that be the same, because uh look man, no, go ahead,
go ahead address that because you and I got didn't
we on social media?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Because we both we both loved the Huskies. We're both
pissed off that we're losing.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Were And the thing is and why it happened. I
love that we're doing this on the radio, but why
it happens because people don't understand. I retired from the
NBA to coach at Washington. It was a team that
won five games a year before, and I took a
lot of pride in trying to build it back up
and to not have everyone with that same mindset. I
(06:18):
didn't join hop staff in the beginning. I kind of
joined on towards the last lot of years. But I
wanted everyone in the community to have that same heart
and the same bloff for the community and not tear
it down. Because when you go into recruiting and you
hear a kid say, well, you guys are gonna get fired,
wait while you say that, because the media says that
(06:40):
you know what I'm saying. Like, So that's where that's
where it was, and that's where my spats came from.
With you, with you, and I wanted, I wanted. I
wanted to see us do well. And it's really hard
to do well when there's any negative connotation out there.
And I'm glad we got that all cleared up. And uh,
you can actually help and recruiting talk about how great
(07:01):
it is. You know, the little things that you might
say on Twitter or here on your show, they go
a long ways, man, So your voice is heard every
one of you Husky fans, and uh, we need you,
We need you as a support. And I just had
Coach Hops back, like I'm gonna have Coach Sprinkles back.
And you know it's nothing beloved.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Man.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
You saw me the other day and we gave each
other a huge hug because you know, there's nothing but
love and we want to see the same common goal.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Of course. Yeah, it's all good. Whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
We're big boys. I mean, look, both of us want
the same thing. We just got to go about different
ways of doing. If somebody was you know, ripping my
team and you know, getting all pissed off on social media,
if I was coaching, or maybe somebody's ripping the radio show.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
If you were, I'd feel the same way you do too.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I don't want you to change in that regard, I Quincy,
I'd rather have fans be angry than apathetic, you know
what I'm talking about, because when the when the apathy
kicks in and nobody cares, that is absolute death.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
And so I hope that you feel that same way too.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You'd rather have people be angry and invested than apathetic
and checked out. And right now people are invested for
sure because of what you guys are doing off the court.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, and it should be invested. I think Coach Sprinkle is,
you know, the right guy for the job. I think
he's he's young, he's charismatic, he has a burning desire,
he has a passion, and he's someone I watched him
Afar saying, Man, if I get a chance to come
back there and be a part of that, I want to.
And that's that's why I have my eyes on the
whole season. Being honest with you, and so you know,
(08:33):
there's other opportunities I could go chase, but I want
to be back here at home, and I want to
be the guy to help Coach Sprinkle get over the
top and to carry the next wave, the next generation
of Husky basketball legacy.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
Well, watching some of these guys on film as I
have just I mean just briefly, very very impressed. So
who are you the most familiar with as far as
the new guy's coming in? Obviously not including Wesley, but
maybe guys you coached against or recruited at high school?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Like who do you know.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Of this crop that's coming in that you're gonna be
coaching in a few months.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Man, all of them? You know, in this game, being
in this business, you have to kind of keep your
eye on everyone because the portal is always open. From
Kamari Peterson, who's had an unbelievable year, uh soapon Player
of the Year, to our freshman JJ Mandoqutt that's coming in,
who's a heady point guard that knows the game, to
(09:28):
late in Summerville who we played against at Rutgers, who's
a steady, a steady big that you know gave a
lot of big problems in our league. To having a
guy like Frank Back who you know you see busting
his tail every single day to have a healthy season.
And I know, for as anyone, I want to see
Frank have a great season where because he's he's been
(09:52):
you know, blood, sweat and tears to this program, even
though it might not be the best results. But he's
given us his game and his body and put his
body on the line for this program. And so you know,
there's you know a lot of guys that you know
we have coming in. I can't wait to see them all,
but very familiar and I think we're gonna have a really,
really good chance to be good this season.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Well, tell us, Quincy before we get a couple of
thoughts from you on the NBA playoffs. Man, you gotta
get a talk a take from you on Cooper Flag
going to the Mavericks.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
How about Batman?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Nico Harrison is the happiest bastard walk on the face
of the earth. Now the GM or the Mavericks are
for getting killed. Do you see Quincy's tweety put out
a half hour ago? You said that Nico stats you're
gonna be fired?
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
But I mean, is it is it fair for us
to say that guys like Ignasovich and Peterson that were
Conference Players of the Year. Should we be counting on
the transfers and especially the upper classmen that have won
awards like those guys to make the most immediate impact
on your basketball team.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Yeah, you can.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
You know they're they're guys. Especially in our conference, there
are guys that you can probably be trusting a little
bit more right away, but at the end of the day,
you just never know how this thing emerges. You know,
there could be a guy that's right now working all
day and night and really improved his game that you
might not expect to have, you know, a breakout year.
There might be a guy that just fits our puzzle
(11:19):
a little bit better than the next. So that's that's
what we got all summer, that's what we got all
fall for. But you know, as long as the common
goal is winning, I think that's what matters most. You know,
a guy like Zoom has been busting his tail and
he's doing whatever it takes to help, you know, restore
Husky pride, and you know everyone's gonna have to take
(11:42):
different roles, especially when you're taking so many players that
have one Conference Player of the year. There there's only
one Conference Player of the Year and it comes from
a team like we have like two or three of
them on this team, So you know, it's it's gonna
be tough. Everyone has to adjust to their new role,
and who embraces that role is going to be vital
versus you know, who doesn't it. So, uh, we got
a plenty of time to figure that piece out.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Quincy Pondecks are joining Ushusky assistant and former NBA players.
So let's talk a little playoffs. How many teams of
the eight remaining? Can you shut your eyes and honestly
see hoisting malari O'Brian trophy?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Man, You know, at this point in time, you just
you just not know. You don't know what to expect.
And I think that's what they wanted the NBA to
be like now, instead of being two to three teams dominant,
they don't have a chance. There's no megas, so many teams,
there's no super teams, there's no mega teams. I think
Boston is probably the closest thing to to a super
(12:40):
team because you know, they've done it before and they have,
you know, a plethora of talent and their payroll resembles that.
But at the same time, you know, there could be
a team that's hungry that wants to get them, like
New York is trying to get over that hump, right now.
So it's an exciting year to watch this thing, and
you know, I'm glued to the TV every single All.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Right, settle this for us real quick, because you're an
NBA fan just like we are. Michael Jordan or Lebron James.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Pick one, Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan. I just there,
there's no disrespect to Lebron James. Lebron James is gonna
go down as having the best career of all time.
There's nothing you could say about someone that's played twenty
He's gonna play twenty five years and doing the things
that he's done, you know, player, I think that's sometimes
(13:28):
that's like one moment that's one season, not one moment
that's like a couple of seasons. That's like a peak
that we haven't seen before. Career wise, totality, there's no
one that's gonna be able to beat Lebron like how
we thought, no one's gonna be able to be Kareem's
all time totality of his career. But you know, I
think Michael Jordan had the best peak, the best unblemished
(13:52):
thirteen years ever. You know, So Mike is my goat.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I love it. May you know what you're one for
one so far? Keep it going.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Answer, he's right on. Very good answer, very good answer.
All right, Quincy, you're the man. Welcome back, good stuff
and we'll talk soon, buddy. Appreciate it, pal Man.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I can't wait to get back on here arguing with you.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Done anytime.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Man.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
You know what, Hey, how about this be on social
media about nine o'clock tonight.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Let's have some fun and go out of it. All right, buddy,
we'll talk.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Look, kid, I'll say Quincy pondexter with us on the show.
It was over and simply Seattle last week, and I
was walking out and these guys are walking in all
the coaches and Quincy shows up. It was like a
motorcade man tinted windows on the on the suburbans.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
It was nuts.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
It's like the President pulled up the town. So good
to see him back in town. Man, no question about it.
But I think you know one of thing I was
gonna ask him if we ran out of time is
the biggest challenge is going to be just like the
challenge a year ago, getting all these new faces to
come together.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
And it feels like it's even.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
More variety now that it was a here, and there's
no question it's more and but they're better pieces. You know,
you kept two solid pieces in Zoom and Frank, and
everything else is better. Yeah, you don't have Great anymore,
but all these other guys, I think the the floor
has been significantly lifted.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
You know what I wonder?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I wonder if they would have been better without great
ocea Bar last year on their basketball team.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Wow, with that finished well, they finished dead allowed someone worse.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Well, Yeah, the point is, whould they still have been
eighteenth with if not without Osbor?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Would they have been better without him?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
But he would a younger guy had been able to
flourish a little bit more with Zoom's game have maybe
opened up even more so. And I was just, I mean,
I'm not breaking new ground here with this take. I
was like, you massively disappointed him, you know, for two
million bucks, I thought he was out of shape. I
thought he was going through some issues. I mean, it
turns out later he was sick, and that was there
was reason why. But you and I were at that
Purdue game right middle of the year, and he's coming
(15:47):
over the bench on the first ten minutes of the
first half, and he can't even stand upright, it was unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
And even joined the time out sick on the bench.
Speaker 1 (15:54):

Speaker 5 (17:30):
Good work.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Come on, I.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Played almost every one of those courses. They are absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Well are you playing Lakeland twice? By the way, because
it says Lakeland and Lakeland Village think.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
That those are the same course, same course. Yeah, just
but yes, I've I've played them more than one, so yes,
I've played them twice.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Twenty seven holes a golf player days all right, So
Mariner's back out tonight against the Yankees. Aaron Boone, Yankee manager. Uh,
if you missed it coming up at six twenty tonight.
We are efforting to maybe get ahold of some audio
from the ball as well. But Jackson need to be
a part of this conversation too, because Dick and I
were yacking off the air a little bit about you know,
just kind of the concern meter right now about the team.
(18:08):
And look, you don't want to overreact to one three
game sweep. Eventually, they were gonna have a bump in
the road. It's gonna happen, right, But I think the
concern is for me, is that you're relying on something
to hold you through this that really has kind of
been a problem for you, and that's the offense. And
you'd think the offense is kind of doing this with
(18:29):
smoking mirrors a little bit. Polanco's average is dropping like
a rock. He's had a bad week and a half.
Bryce Miller's are, you know, complaining that his arm isn't there.
Kirby and Gilbert have already been banged up once and
hopefully Kirby's coming back soon, So you know, I think
there's a little bit of me that feels like, all right,
the ship isn't about to sink, but it might want
(18:51):
to pull in for a few repairs.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
Yeah, I think the repairs are fine.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
He's one of those times where I think we're seeing
a gap where we knew the offense was gonna cool,
we knew the pitching staff is going to get better,
we knew the pitching staff's going to get healthier, and
we're just in that gap between the two right now
where I think, you know that if we can just
limit it to you know, whether it's the few days
or whether we can limit it to just this week,
we can get to the other side of it. But
(19:16):
it was kind of inevitable that we were going to
see this kind of crossover of just this well we
hadn't been a sweep, but I think it was another
we were going to get this tiny little period where
both of them are trending in the wrong direction.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
But there's there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
There's hope for the pitching staff to get better, and
you know, hopefully, I mean, if if Bryce Miller cannot
you know, get worn out after five innings, then then
then the light will get closer and closer.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Well, what you.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Light, What is the commonality of these teams in this
nine game streak that just got snapped, Our nine series
streak that just got snapped, right, Houston, Texas, La Angelskay, Texas, Oakland.
What's the commonality? Yeah, I don't know your division? Yeah,
(20:06):
so basely five of the nine series that you won
were division games, which is good and bad. It's bad
that you didn't really beat good teams right in this
nine series stretch, But it's good because it just reinforces
the fact that I believe we're better than every team
in this just mediocre division.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
No, I mean they could win eighty four games and
maybe win this.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
I mean it might be that bad.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah, I just think this.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I think that this is exactly why we had Larry
stone on a week ago or was it two weeks ago?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Now I forget.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I think it was a week ago when Larry made
the point about I really hope that these owners don't
rest on their laurels, and you think they'd want to
have the label of being the only team in baseball
to never play in a World Series off their chest.
And a guy I told you, the guy was tweeting, though,
there's a terrible time to bring that up. Well, this
is why we bring it up, right, because honestly, these
guys have accomplished nothing. So they played great baseball for
(21:00):
a month, so what Okay? There are so many more
things that they need to accomplish to get people off
their back, including me, and that means not sitting around
to the deadline and even sitting around now, Like, I
love the Tavares acquisition. That showed me that they're not
willing to wait until July to improve the team.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Improve the team. Now, you've already lost Roe, Bless, you've
lost Bliss, you had.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Dylan Moore, banged Uppy, you had Luke Bradley ban Deppy,
had Kirby Gilbert, and now Bryce Miller's fighting something. Why
sit around and wait for the ship to sink. Go
out and get better today. And they did that with Tavares,
and I like that.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I mean, he was on.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Waivers obviously, and we'll see, you know, how he actually performs.
But the fact that they made that move right then
and there, when they brought up Williamson, when they realized
Polacko can't play third, they didn't let that thing go
longer in.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Three weeks and they were done with it. I like
that attitude, and I want to give him.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I don't want to give him credit because it's something
they should be doing, but I want to mention that.
I want to acknowledge that that these guys went out
and did what they should be doing, which is making
the baseball team better when they clearly needed some help.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
And they've done that far more during this season than
they've ever done in the offseason, I mean.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Which is crazy.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Least Castillo, Victor Roeblaze, now Ta Varis, Randy a Rose Arena.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Those were all brought in the middle of the year.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
I mean those They have brought in so much more
offensive talent in the middle of the year than they
have done in the offseason.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
It's not even close.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Well, I think they're gonna just have to be ready
and willing to go out there and just supplement this
thing even more so.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I mean the idea that we can sit here. I'm sorry.
I mean he's heaving with a pitcher too. He's maybe
that's what Larry said last week too. He's had a
hell of a five weeks. He's starting to cool off
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
But if you think I'm gonna sit around and say
no to some bats because I'm relying on Hori Polanco.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
You're freaking nuts. Yes, you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
There's there's no way I'm gonna sit here and say, well,
Polanco's got it. No, he doesn't have it, okay, because
he's playing out of his freaking mind right now and
now is batting average It dropped seventy points in the
last week. Now, I would just say this, he doesn't
have a lot of AB's compared to everybody else in baseball,
So one bad week is going to really you was numbers,
I get that, But I think sitting around and just
(23:04):
relying on him and saying we're good, you know, relying
on JP Crawford and saying we're good. No, you've still
got some holes. Can you upgrade at first base is
a question mark? Can you upgrade you know, your D
eight spot when cal Rawley is catching? Can you upgrade
your second base spot? I mean, where where are the
moves that Jerry can look at and say let's make
(23:24):
those moves better now? So we're not waiting until the
end of July. But the pitching staff is absolutely a concern.
I mean, the health is a huge concern. Bryce Miller's
situation whenever the hell he's fighting Jackson has to be
a nervous concern for the hserary.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Yeah, big time, because if you are sort of like,
you know, you're in this tunnel right now, and if
you end up just you know, getting kicked backwards, you know,
because of anything going with Bryce Miller, like if you
have to skip a start and then you know, everything
could kind of fall.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
Up pretty quickly. But going back to the point.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
About averages, I mean, let's keep in mind here that
it was only you know, a week ago that Julio
was at two oh six, right, it's just in the
last it's like this last five games where everything, So
it's sort of like, all right, well, the trend of
Hore Polanko has been so bad here in May, and
the trend of Julio has been so much better. Will
these trends just kind of can continue to go on
(24:16):
and we've seen Julio for years now, just light it
up as summertime goes. But like, what if that doesn't
happen again? What if all these what if all that right,
there are all these what ifs, But like at the
same time, you're just hoping that all of the bad
side of the what ifs don't just accumulate together.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
One week can make a big difference. But the Mariner's
era is sixteenth in baseball right now. Right they were
number one in the American League year good enough, and
now they're sixteenth in baseball and they are done that.
They're in first seventh in the American League because their offense,
because Polanco and Jpe and all these guys and Dylan
Moore have kind of played over their heads a little bit,
and eventually that's gonna cool off. The hope is that
(24:52):
the offense, if they do cool off, is still good enough.
My my ask of the offense is the same as
it's been for twenty five damn years. Don't suck, right,
they sucked a year ago, and they sucked the life
out of this town with that pitching staff being as
good as it was.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Well with Polo real detriment.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
I mean, it's really just been the Toronto series where
he was one for nine and didn't get on base
with Bea the walk and the A's series, well, he
wasn't great. He had fifteen played appearances and got on
base four times.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Last nine games, he's hitting. What's his head?
Speaker 6 (25:25):
He's only six games, got a four to ninety one ops. Yeah,
because the first two games of May he was one
for two with a run scored and one for one
with a double in a run scored in the first
two games of May. It's really just been since Sunday.
We're talking about a six game sample size. So well,
I'm I've never been the biggest Poloco fan, that's for sure. Yeah,
I'm not willing to say he's done yet.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Well I'm not saying he's done either. I'm just saying
that's not what I'm saying at all, Dick. What I'm
saying is that this idea that we found a superstar
and that Jerry Depoto can just sit around and say
we're good. No, you're not good, You're not Andori Polocko
is not a superstar. He's never been a superstar, never
been superstar. Julio Rodriguez, I mean, my guy, we're in
the same freaking boer. Get this guy some damn help.
(26:05):
Get him an aircraft carry him. So tired of using
that term. It's making me sick.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
That's the point. Well, you're not.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Gonna get an aircraft carry in the middle of season.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Well, if you could trade for one, potentially, if somebody
comes available. I mean they probably won't do that, But dude,
we have nine top hundred prospects now, nine of them
nine percent.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
But remember top hundred belongs in Seattle.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Remember guys, that three point five million in the Saveris deal.
That's right, that's going to impact what they do at
the DIVIL.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I hope Framer's wrong about that. Look, Framer's not saying
that's going to happen. He was just speculating if it
would happen. There's a big difference. But I get it.
I I just think that again, barring an absolute miracle,
I would still expect that this offense is going to
be a team that needs a bad in July.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Well, and we're gonna have to wait all the way
until July because look at the American League. How many
teams are done tight two You're right, You're right, two teams.
That's a lot. And I don't even know if the
Oriols are done. They weren't supposed to be done, but
they're nine games under five hundred.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Good news is everybody's got a chance. Bad news is
everybody's got a chance. Everybody's got a chance in this league,
and SIDS it makes it terrible. Why they should move
the deadline back. If you're gonna do this thing where
you got nineteen teams or whatever it is, I mean
it's actually fourteen. Half the league makes the playoffs, then
push the deadline back. Push the deadline back to the
end of August. Hell, do something really weird. Make it
the middle of August. How about that give us an
(27:23):
extra couple of weeks to sort this thing out, because
come July thirtieth, everybody's alive, nobody's making any moves.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
We'll get a break.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Ten casting live from the R and R Foundation Specialist
Broadcast Studio. Now back to SAFTI and DIG powered by
Emerald Queen Casino, the vetting capital of the Northwest, on
Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
All right, we're back here on a Monday night from
the ameral Queen Casino Sportsbook, which means in forty seven
hours from now, we will be getting ready to announce
the NFL schedule for your Seattle Seahawk. Although we should
take wagers and how many games, well already.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Know by five o'clocks.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
It's stupid, and I can play about it every year.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
How we know, like usually we know like seven Hawks
games when we take the air at three.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Jackon's that bother you?
Speaker 8 (28:14):
No, not at all. I just listen.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Maybe it's just because of how I've grown up on
social media, like I just get.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Out an old crotchety bastard like us. I just just.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
It's just part of part of the world to find
news on social media.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
So and it's it's impossible for you not to hear it,
because even if you don't watch social media, you go
hear it from me at three o'clock.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I'll just tell you.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
Because you'll tell me anyway.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
It's like I might just give you the whole schedule three.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
It's like making up on Christmas morning as a kid
and coming down the stairs and only half your presence
are wrapped and the other half are.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Just sitting on the floor like here you go, there
they are.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
But is this really like Christmas?
Speaker 5 (28:51):
I love scheduling.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I love the schedule, but like Christmas morning though, maybe
it's Easter Sun, maybe it's the fourth night.
Speaker 8 (28:59):
I don't think it's a good analogy.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Maybe it's Valentine's Day when you're you know, twelve years
old and get your first crush.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I don't know, but I'm looking.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
At there are a couple of possibilities for Seahawk Husky
road trips this year because the Seahawks play the Commander's
on the road and the Huskies play at Maryland.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
So how about if you're gonna go that far?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Of course, let's see if you see if the Commander's
game ends up on either October the fifth or Monday
Night football.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
You get it one last year, didn't you?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Detroit last year? Yeah, we had the lot that was
two years ago. Lions uh in Michigan. The other one
is la uh Ucla on Saturday, November twenty second, maybe
the Rams the next day. That's in LA definitely, So
we got we got a couple of Husky potential road
trips this year. But I don't know. I mean, I
think that the NFL schedule, Man, I just keep looking
(29:44):
at that seven and a half over under and thinking,
what are they doing?
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Can we bet that right now?
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Absolutely? I've already bet it.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Okay, I mean, what do they know that we don't know?
I mean, just listen to these quarterbacks that are coming
to town.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
CJ.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Stroud, JJ McCarthy, Baker Mayfield, Anthony Richardson, Spencer Rattler, your Boy,
Brock Purty, Kyler, Murray, Matt Stafford, and then Michael Pennix,
Bryce Young, Trevor, Lawrence cam Ward. Who else we miss
in here? Jayden Daniels is good, right, but this is crazy?
(30:17):
What do you mean seven and a half? It should
be like nine and a half. I completely agree with money. However,
there are booze from a drunk guy. Just grab a
bottle and run.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
There's radio stations in other cities that are mentioning Sam
Darnold in that same list.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
I don't understand.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Okay, that's fine, but we got a good defense. Yes,
but they don't know that even if the offense, but
Vegas does. Vegas should Vegas should know that.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
What are we missing?
Speaker 6 (30:42):
I have no idea there is I see worst case scenario. Oh,
they're as good as they were last year. That's worst
case scenario.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Worst case scenario for me is like maybe some injuries
in you're eight and nine back, yeah, I mean yeah, and.
Speaker 6 (30:56):
I mean last year being nine to eight, because I
don't think you were ten and seven last year, Because
you don't count the Jay game at the end, they
would have lost that.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
If the Rams were playing for the playoff.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
I think they think they could have won it. They
almost lost to the JVM.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Okay, but they they didn't. I don't know what to
be positive.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Like Quincy Pondexter, come on, Sam Darnold, you can look
out from the outside and say, listen, he had one
good year with Minnesota, but other than that he's been bad.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
So with Justin Jefferson and a good.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Let me just as I get that, and I think
that's logical. But let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
If I would have told you a year ago our
starting quarterback is Sam Darnel.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
A year ago, okay, what would you have said?
Speaker 6 (31:36):
I would have I would have said, hey, at least
we're gonna try something new from the Gino Smith.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Really that you would have said, we're gonna.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Yes, I would have said, we're gonna stink, We're gonna
stick exactly if I would have told you so one year,
one year in Minnesota has changed our minds on Sam
Darnold that much.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
Not not in America. That hasn't. And that's why the line.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Is America, What about in Russia? Probably not there either.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
We think the Seahawks will be pretty bad.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
But I spent the darnold somewhere in the twelve.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I hope you're right. Yeah, I don't think he's I
hope you're right. Well, i'll tell you what. I'm kind
of bummed about Jackson that we're not playing the Bengals
so we can't see Joe Burrow right up this batmobile?
Speaker 7 (32:18):
Oh my gosh, did you guys see this? Joe Burrow?
What about this purchase? He purchased a replica of the
Dark Night Batmobile, the tumbler that Christian Bale's Batman drove.
He purchased a replica of one of those. It apparently
is drivable with a five hundred and twenty five horsepower engine,
but not street legal, right, not street legal? No, not
(32:41):
street legal, but still so he can take a track. Yeah,
five hundred and twenty five horsepower engine.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
That is dope.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (32:47):
Please?
Speaker 4 (32:47):
How much?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
How big is the Bengals player's parking lot? And does
he just drive that thing around the parking lot? Is
he driving around the stadium?
Speaker 4 (32:54):
All right?
Speaker 7 (32:55):
The cost of it came out three two point nine
nine three million dollars.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
For that thing.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Nice to have few money and just blow it on
a freaking car that you'll never get to drive down.
Speaker 8 (33:06):
The free three million dollars.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
What's the stupidest thing you ever bought?
Speaker 8 (33:08):
By the way, ever stupidest thing I've ever bought?
Speaker 5 (33:15):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (33:16):
Man, I haven't bought a lot of I'm might too
logical to buy really stupid things.
Speaker 8 (33:20):
But I've gone on like stupid trips for no reason.
Speaker 7 (33:22):
Like I was in this relationship with a girl in
high school and we broke up.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
But she was going to school in Hawaii.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
So after we broke up, I said, screw it, I'm
gonna go to Hawaii. So I just for for for
like a week, went to Hawaii, like right as my
freshman year was starting at Seattle Pacific. I just said, screwed,
I'm going to spend a week in Hawaii. Which but
it was a kind of logic. Done this thing you've
ever bought, You've never bought it. It was you're like
way down the list. Yeah, that's all Like Jason Siegel
(33:50):
and forgetting Sarah Marshall, really stupid to go on a
trip like right after the breakup to where the person is.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Okay, well that's kind of dumb, but the fact that
you went on a trip wasn't stupid, right. I mean, dude,
I bought a drone like two years ago. I've used
it one time.
Speaker 8 (34:05):
That's clasic softy Okay.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
I crashed it, by the way, and then the propellers
got all scuffed up. And because you gotta set that
thing at the right settings. Where is it like the
what's the eye? What's the gimbal locks?
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Stupid? I don't know what I'm talking about, but.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
Yeah, it's it's it's sitting in my closet just collecting dust.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
You know that big bug zapper like you can fire
like things that bought us up.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
I used it once and it's in the closet. It's
just sitting there.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
Those are that was the point, Like everybody thing really expensive.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
The drone was like four hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah, I bought it and it's literally sitting in the
closet doing nothing.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
Why guy, one, that just popped in my head and
you warned me about it ahead of time. What's that
oldest cantina? Yeah, don't go there at Disney World. Waste
the money. But now you can say you win. I'm
taking notes what not to get. Ok one, hundred and
fifty bucks for like four drinks and a what bad appetizer.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
They know when you're there that you can charge you
whatever they want, and you'll say, yes, okay, the drinks
are like what you I'm known, well, you know what honestly,
And this is gonna sound like I'm gonna sound like
an old man, but we should be ashamed of ourselves.
The money we spend in concessions at sporting events. It's
freaking highway robbery. That's why I don't absolute highway robbing.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
I may buy buying something that you can buy a
seven eleven on the way home for one twentieth of
what you just.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Paid exactly, and you like it and you bend over it,
take it.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
The Faine family is notorious for food into the into
the stadium that like, you're not you're not spending fifty
bucks of my money on two pizzas of hot kid,
You're starving. Man, God, when you get home, you can
have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or one peanut,
you pick it. We're gonna break
Welcome back, my friend. That's great to have you back
on the show.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
I gotta ask you, though, tell people what you're doing
because there's all these fancy schmancy titles and stuff going around.
So tell folks what you're going to be doing for
a Dandy Sprinkle staff.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Oh, first of all, thanks for having me back.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Man.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Without people like yourself, I don't know if this this
moment will happen. I'm going to be an assistant coach.
I think the title confused everyone at first, but look
forward to seeing me coach a lot and being on
the road recruiting and doing every single thing assistant coach
does and doing whatever it things to help with Danny
(00:38):
Sprinkle get over the hump and get us back to
some really good Husky basketball days.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Well, qupon talk about the why and the how? Why
are you back here? And how are you back here?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
You know what I think? Man, it's again. I'm thankful
for my time at USC under coach Mufflelman. It was
a great learning experience for me. I got into coaching
because it was a passion for myself, and I knew
it was something I was going to do long term.
But I knew I could only do it if I
really really cared about the place I was at, And
(01:12):
so you know, I would I would look at myself
in different colors and the other logo and say, man,
this isn't right. And so there there was a you know,
I had a change of heart. I didn't feel like I,
you know, really wanted to necessarily be there. And when
(01:34):
the opportunity came about to come back home, it presented itself.
I couldn't do anything. I couldn't even think about turning
it down.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, I think you're one thing is crystal clear. You're
You're more purple than gold than Conroy. Because he's still
down there by the way, Yeah we get, we get
to bust his balls about being down there with with
Eric Musselman. But tell me about Wesley Yates because you
were here with him for a year, banged up a
(02:03):
little bit, I think, kind of red shirt and then
goes to USC for one year averages fourteen points a game.
I love the fact that Danny's getting kind of more
of a refined product right Quincy than the one that
we saw two years ago. So there was so much
enthusiasm when he committed to come play for you at
Washington and now he's coming back. Tell us about this
(02:24):
version of Wesley Yates that we're getting that maybe we
did not see a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Wesley is my little cousin, and so you know, we
that's one project that taking a lot of pride in.
I think he you know, he has a lot of
the same characteristics and qualities I had as a player,
and so for him even coming out of high school
and to bring him out here, a place I loved,
(02:50):
it meant a lot to us. And so for us
to leave again he probably looked at that the other
colors like I did. You know, it just didn't go right.
And when the season ended, you know, he reevaluated the
situation and he felt he had unfinished business here, and
so we discussed it, and you know, I blessed the situation.
(03:12):
And you know, he is a refined player right now,
and he's one of the hardest workers I've ever come across.
He's one of the most dedicated and hardworking and gritty
players I've ever come across. And if you know him
in his heart and where he's at with this game,
you'll know that special things are going to come for
that kid, even though it didn't turn out the best
(03:35):
the first year, you know, I think we have a
lot a lot more to prove this second trip around.
And I like I told him since the beginning, if
he's not better than me in the Purple and Gold,
I'm gonna be disappointed. That's why I brought him here,
and that's why that's why we got unfinished business to
go handle.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
We take a look at the rankings.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I mean, you guys are your top twenty and recruiting
rankings for for incoming fresh he's been top fifteen and
transfer rankings, he's certainly one of those. So overall, talent wise,
this is the most talented Husky team in how long, cupond.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Oh Man, I don't know. I think last year, the
last year with coach Hopkins, was a really talented team.
I think, you know, when you lose Frank kep Nang
and Wesley Eights for a full year, we always say
what could have been? I think that was one of
the most talented teams with Keon Brooks and you know
the plethora of talent Moses Wood Savere Willard. I think
(04:33):
that was Braxton Mia. That was a pretty talented team,
but we underachieved I think, you know, there's there's a
lot of talent on these teams, but how do you overachieve?
How do you get to your ceiling with them? And
I think this is gonna be one of those teams
that hopefully resembles the early twenty tens when we were
making it to the tournament, making it to sweet sixteen,
(04:56):
because that's the bar, that's the bar I have step
for here, you know, and uh, I didn't take it personally,
you know, to come up short the first times. As
a coach, I would say, uh, but there's a lot
more to prove this time. And it's kind of being
the same resilient player I was now I'm just transferring
that over to being a coach. I think when I
first got here as a player, there was high, lofty
(05:19):
expectations of me, and even though it wasn't I didn't fail.
I just thought it came a little short, and I
always had a burning desire to prove people wrong. And
at the end it was a success story. And I
feel like it's going to be the same thing here
as a coach. Yeah, that's that's what I'm looking forward to.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Well. Quincy Pondexter is back at you, dub.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I think people are looking forward to you screaming at
me on Twitter again too, by the way, So will
that be the same, because uh look man, no, go ahead,
go ahead address that because you and I got didn't
we on social media?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Because we both we both loved the Huskies. We're both
pissed off that we're losing.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Were And the thing is and why it happened. I
love that we're doing this on the radio, but why
it happens because people don't understand. I retired from the
NBA to coach at Washington. It was a team that
won five games a year before, and I took a
lot of pride in trying to build it back up
and to not have everyone with that same mindset. I
(06:18):
didn't join hop staff in the beginning. I kind of
joined on towards the last lot of years. But I
wanted everyone in the community to have that same heart
and the same bloff for the community and not tear
it down. Because when you go into recruiting and you
hear a kid say, well, you guys are gonna get fired,
wait while you say that, because the media says that
(06:40):
you know what I'm saying. Like, So that's where that's
where it was, and that's where my spats came from.
With you, with you, and I wanted, I wanted. I
wanted to see us do well. And it's really hard
to do well when there's any negative connotation out there.
And I'm glad we got that all cleared up. And uh,
you can actually help and recruiting talk about how great
(07:01):
it is. You know, the little things that you might
say on Twitter or here on your show, they go
a long ways, man, So your voice is heard every
one of you Husky fans, and uh, we need you,
We need you as a support. And I just had
Coach Hops back, like I'm gonna have Coach Sprinkles back.
And you know it's nothing beloved.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Man.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
You saw me the other day and we gave each
other a huge hug because you know, there's nothing but
love and we want to see the same common goal.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Of course. Yeah, it's all good. Whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
We're big boys. I mean, look, both of us want
the same thing. We just got to go about different
ways of doing. If somebody was you know, ripping my
team and you know, getting all pissed off on social media,
if I was coaching, or maybe somebody's ripping the radio show.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
If you were, I'd feel the same way you do too.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I don't want you to change in that regard, I Quincy,
I'd rather have fans be angry than apathetic, you know
what I'm talking about, because when the when the apathy
kicks in and nobody cares, that is absolute death.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
And so I hope that you feel that same way too.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You'd rather have people be angry and invested than apathetic
and checked out. And right now people are invested for
sure because of what you guys are doing off the court.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, and it should be invested. I think Coach Sprinkle is,
you know, the right guy for the job. I think
he's he's young, he's charismatic, he has a burning desire,
he has a passion, and he's someone I watched him
Afar saying, Man, if I get a chance to come
back there and be a part of that, I want to.
And that's that's why I have my eyes on the
whole season. Being honest with you, and so you know,
(08:33):
there's other opportunities I could go chase, but I want
to be back here at home, and I want to
be the guy to help Coach Sprinkle get over the
top and to carry the next wave, the next generation
of Husky basketball legacy.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
Well, watching some of these guys on film as I
have just I mean just briefly, very very impressed. So
who are you the most familiar with as far as
the new guy's coming in? Obviously not including Wesley, but
maybe guys you coached against or recruited at high school?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Like who do you know.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Of this crop that's coming in that you're gonna be
coaching in a few months.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Man, all of them? You know, in this game, being
in this business, you have to kind of keep your
eye on everyone because the portal is always open. From
Kamari Peterson, who's had an unbelievable year, uh soapon Player
of the Year, to our freshman JJ Mandoqutt that's coming in,
who's a heady point guard that knows the game, to
(09:28):
late in Summerville who we played against at Rutgers, who's
a steady, a steady big that you know gave a
lot of big problems in our league. To having a
guy like Frank Back who you know you see busting
his tail every single day to have a healthy season.
And I know, for as anyone, I want to see
Frank have a great season where because he's he's been
(09:52):
you know, blood, sweat and tears to this program, even
though it might not be the best results. But he's
given us his game and his body and put his
body on the line for this program. And so you know,
there's you know a lot of guys that you know
we have coming in. I can't wait to see them all,
but very familiar and I think we're gonna have a really,
really good chance to be good this season.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Well, tell us, Quincy before we get a couple of
thoughts from you on the NBA playoffs. Man, you gotta
get a talk a take from you on Cooper Flag
going to the Mavericks.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
How about Batman?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Nico Harrison is the happiest bastard walk on the face
of the earth. Now the GM or the Mavericks are
for getting killed. Do you see Quincy's tweety put out
a half hour ago? You said that Nico stats you're
gonna be fired?
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
But I mean, is it is it fair for us
to say that guys like Ignasovich and Peterson that were
Conference Players of the Year. Should we be counting on
the transfers and especially the upper classmen that have won
awards like those guys to make the most immediate impact
on your basketball team.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Yeah, you can.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
You know they're they're guys. Especially in our conference, there
are guys that you can probably be trusting a little
bit more right away, but at the end of the day,
you just never know how this thing emerges. You know,
there could be a guy that's right now working all
day and night and really improved his game that you
might not expect to have, you know, a breakout year.
There might be a guy that just fits our puzzle
(11:19):
a little bit better than the next. So that's that's
what we got all summer, that's what we got all
fall for. But you know, as long as the common
goal is winning, I think that's what matters most. You know,
a guy like Zoom has been busting his tail and
he's doing whatever it takes to help, you know, restore
Husky pride, and you know everyone's gonna have to take
(11:42):
different roles, especially when you're taking so many players that
have one Conference Player of the year. There there's only
one Conference Player of the Year and it comes from
a team like we have like two or three of
them on this team, So you know, it's it's gonna
be tough. Everyone has to adjust to their new role,
and who embraces that role is going to be vital
versus you know, who doesn't it. So, uh, we got
a plenty of time to figure that piece out.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Quincy Pondecks are joining Ushusky assistant and former NBA players.
So let's talk a little playoffs. How many teams of
the eight remaining? Can you shut your eyes and honestly
see hoisting malari O'Brian trophy?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Man, You know, at this point in time, you just
you just not know. You don't know what to expect.
And I think that's what they wanted the NBA to
be like now, instead of being two to three teams dominant,
they don't have a chance. There's no megas, so many teams,
there's no super teams, there's no mega teams. I think
Boston is probably the closest thing to to a super
(12:40):
team because you know, they've done it before and they have,
you know, a plethora of talent and their payroll resembles that.
But at the same time, you know, there could be
a team that's hungry that wants to get them, like
New York is trying to get over that hump, right now.
So it's an exciting year to watch this thing, and
you know, I'm glued to the TV every single All.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Right, settle this for us real quick, because you're an
NBA fan just like we are. Michael Jordan or Lebron James.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Pick one, Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan. I just there,
there's no disrespect to Lebron James. Lebron James is gonna
go down as having the best career of all time.
There's nothing you could say about someone that's played twenty
He's gonna play twenty five years and doing the things
that he's done, you know, player, I think that's sometimes
(13:28):
that's like one moment that's one season, not one moment
that's like a couple of seasons. That's like a peak
that we haven't seen before. Career wise, totality, there's no
one that's gonna be able to beat Lebron like how
we thought, no one's gonna be able to be Kareem's
all time totality of his career. But you know, I
think Michael Jordan had the best peak, the best unblemished
(13:52):
thirteen years ever. You know, So Mike is my goat.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I love it. May you know what you're one for
one so far? Keep it going.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Answer, he's right on. Very good answer, very good answer.
All right, Quincy, you're the man. Welcome back, good stuff
and we'll talk soon, buddy. Appreciate it, pal Man.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I can't wait to get back on here arguing with you.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Done anytime.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Man.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
You know what, Hey, how about this be on social
media about nine o'clock tonight.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Let's have some fun and go out of it. All right, buddy,
we'll talk.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Look, kid, I'll say Quincy pondexter with us on the show.
It was over and simply Seattle last week, and I
was walking out and these guys are walking in all
the coaches and Quincy shows up. It was like a
motorcade man tinted windows on the on the suburbans.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
It was nuts.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
It's like the President pulled up the town. So good
to see him back in town. Man, no question about it.
But I think you know one of thing I was
gonna ask him if we ran out of time is
the biggest challenge is going to be just like the
challenge a year ago, getting all these new faces to
come together.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
And it feels like it's even.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
More variety now that it was a here, and there's
no question it's more and but they're better pieces. You know,
you kept two solid pieces in Zoom and Frank, and
everything else is better. Yeah, you don't have Great anymore,
but all these other guys, I think the the floor
has been significantly lifted.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
You know what I wonder?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I wonder if they would have been better without great
ocea Bar last year on their basketball team.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Wow, with that finished well, they finished dead allowed someone worse.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Well, Yeah, the point is, whould they still have been
eighteenth with if not without Osbor?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Would they have been better without him?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
But he would a younger guy had been able to
flourish a little bit more with Zoom's game have maybe
opened up even more so. And I was just, I mean,
I'm not breaking new ground here with this take. I
was like, you massively disappointed him, you know, for two
million bucks, I thought he was out of shape. I
thought he was going through some issues. I mean, it
turns out later he was sick, and that was there
was reason why. But you and I were at that
Purdue game right middle of the year, and he's coming
(15:47):
over the bench on the first ten minutes of the
first half, and he can't even stand upright, it was unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
And even joined the time out sick on the bench.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Come on, man, all right five twenty A lot more

Speaker 5 (17:30):
Good work.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Come on, I.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Played almost every one of those courses. They are absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Well are you playing Lakeland twice? By the way, because
it says Lakeland and Lakeland Village think.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
That those are the same course, same course. Yeah, just
but yes, I've I've played them more than one, so yes,
I've played them twice.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Twenty seven holes a golf player days all right, So
Mariner's back out tonight against the Yankees. Aaron Boone, Yankee manager. Uh,
if you missed it coming up at six twenty tonight.
We are efforting to maybe get ahold of some audio
from the ball as well. But Jackson need to be
a part of this conversation too, because Dick and I
were yacking off the air a little bit about you know,
just kind of the concern meter right now about the team.
(18:08):
And look, you don't want to overreact to one three
game sweep. Eventually, they were gonna have a bump in
the road. It's gonna happen, right, But I think the
concern is for me, is that you're relying on something
to hold you through this that really has kind of
been a problem for you, and that's the offense. And
you'd think the offense is kind of doing this with
(18:29):
smoking mirrors a little bit. Polanco's average is dropping like
a rock. He's had a bad week and a half.
Bryce Miller's are, you know, complaining that his arm isn't there.
Kirby and Gilbert have already been banged up once and
hopefully Kirby's coming back soon, So you know, I think
there's a little bit of me that feels like, all right,
the ship isn't about to sink, but it might want
(18:51):
to pull in for a few repairs.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
Yeah, I think the repairs are fine.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
He's one of those times where I think we're seeing
a gap where we knew the offense was gonna cool,
we knew the pitching staff is going to get better,
we knew the pitching staff's going to get healthier, and
we're just in that gap between the two right now
where I think, you know that if we can just
limit it to you know, whether it's the few days
or whether we can limit it to just this week,
we can get to the other side of it. But
(19:16):
it was kind of inevitable that we were going to
see this kind of crossover of just this well we
hadn't been a sweep, but I think it was another
we were going to get this tiny little period where
both of them are trending in the wrong direction.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
But there's there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
There's hope for the pitching staff to get better, and
you know, hopefully, I mean, if if Bryce Miller cannot
you know, get worn out after five innings, then then
then the light will get closer and closer.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Well, what you.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Light, What is the commonality of these teams in this
nine game streak that just got snapped, Our nine series
streak that just got snapped, right, Houston, Texas, La Angelskay, Texas, Oakland.
What's the commonality? Yeah, I don't know your division? Yeah,
(20:06):
so basely five of the nine series that you won
were division games, which is good and bad. It's bad
that you didn't really beat good teams right in this
nine series stretch, But it's good because it just reinforces
the fact that I believe we're better than every team
in this just mediocre division.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
No, I mean they could win eighty four games and
maybe win this.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
I mean it might be that bad.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah, I just think this.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I think that this is exactly why we had Larry
stone on a week ago or was it two weeks ago?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Now I forget.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I think it was a week ago when Larry made
the point about I really hope that these owners don't
rest on their laurels, and you think they'd want to
have the label of being the only team in baseball
to never play in a World Series off their chest.
And a guy I told you, the guy was tweeting, though,
there's a terrible time to bring that up. Well, this
is why we bring it up, right, because honestly, these
guys have accomplished nothing. So they played great baseball for
(21:00):
a month, so what Okay? There are so many more
things that they need to accomplish to get people off
their back, including me, and that means not sitting around
to the deadline and even sitting around now, Like, I
love the Tavares acquisition. That showed me that they're not
willing to wait until July to improve the team.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Improve the team. Now, you've already lost Roe, Bless, you've
lost Bliss, you had.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Dylan Moore, banged Uppy, you had Luke Bradley ban Deppy,
had Kirby Gilbert, and now Bryce Miller's fighting something. Why
sit around and wait for the ship to sink. Go
out and get better today. And they did that with Tavares,
and I like that.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I mean, he was on.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Waivers obviously, and we'll see, you know, how he actually performs.
But the fact that they made that move right then
and there, when they brought up Williamson, when they realized
Polacko can't play third, they didn't let that thing go
longer in.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Three weeks and they were done with it. I like
that attitude, and I want to give him.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I don't want to give him credit because it's something
they should be doing, but I want to mention that.
I want to acknowledge that that these guys went out
and did what they should be doing, which is making
the baseball team better when they clearly needed some help.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
And they've done that far more during this season than
they've ever done in the offseason, I mean.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Which is crazy.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Least Castillo, Victor Roeblaze, now Ta Varis, Randy a Rose Arena.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Those were all brought in the middle of the year.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
I mean those They have brought in so much more
offensive talent in the middle of the year than they
have done in the offseason.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
It's not even close.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Well, I think they're gonna just have to be ready
and willing to go out there and just supplement this
thing even more so.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I mean the idea that we can sit here. I'm sorry.
I mean he's heaving with a pitcher too. He's maybe
that's what Larry said last week too. He's had a
hell of a five weeks. He's starting to cool off
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
But if you think I'm gonna sit around and say
no to some bats because I'm relying on Hori Polanco.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
You're freaking nuts. Yes, you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
There's there's no way I'm gonna sit here and say, well,
Polanco's got it. No, he doesn't have it, okay, because
he's playing out of his freaking mind right now and
now is batting average It dropped seventy points in the
last week. Now, I would just say this, he doesn't
have a lot of AB's compared to everybody else in baseball,
So one bad week is going to really you was numbers,
I get that, But I think sitting around and just
(23:04):
relying on him and saying we're good, you know, relying
on JP Crawford and saying we're good. No, you've still
got some holes. Can you upgrade at first base is
a question mark? Can you upgrade you know, your D
eight spot when cal Rawley is catching? Can you upgrade
your second base spot? I mean, where where are the
moves that Jerry can look at and say let's make
(23:24):
those moves better now? So we're not waiting until the
end of July. But the pitching staff is absolutely a concern.
I mean, the health is a huge concern. Bryce Miller's
situation whenever the hell he's fighting Jackson has to be
a nervous concern for the hserary.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Yeah, big time, because if you are sort of like,
you know, you're in this tunnel right now, and if
you end up just you know, getting kicked backwards, you know,
because of anything going with Bryce Miller, like if you
have to skip a start and then you know, everything
could kind of fall.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
Up pretty quickly. But going back to the point.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
About averages, I mean, let's keep in mind here that
it was only you know, a week ago that Julio
was at two oh six, right, it's just in the
last it's like this last five games where everything, So
it's sort of like, all right, well, the trend of
Hore Polanko has been so bad here in May, and
the trend of Julio has been so much better. Will
these trends just kind of can continue to go on
(24:16):
and we've seen Julio for years now, just light it
up as summertime goes. But like, what if that doesn't
happen again? What if all these what if all that right,
there are all these what ifs, But like at the
same time, you're just hoping that all of the bad
side of the what ifs don't just accumulate together.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
One week can make a big difference. But the Mariner's
era is sixteenth in baseball right now. Right they were
number one in the American League year good enough, and
now they're sixteenth in baseball and they are done that.
They're in first seventh in the American League because their offense,
because Polanco and Jpe and all these guys and Dylan
Moore have kind of played over their heads a little bit,
and eventually that's gonna cool off. The hope is that
(24:52):
the offense, if they do cool off, is still good enough.
My my ask of the offense is the same as
it's been for twenty five damn years. Don't suck, right,
they sucked a year ago, and they sucked the life
out of this town with that pitching staff being as
good as it was.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Well with Polo real detriment.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
I mean, it's really just been the Toronto series where
he was one for nine and didn't get on base
with Bea the walk and the A's series, well, he
wasn't great. He had fifteen played appearances and got on
base four times.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Last nine games, he's hitting. What's his head?
Speaker 6 (25:25):
He's only six games, got a four to ninety one ops. Yeah,
because the first two games of May he was one
for two with a run scored and one for one
with a double in a run scored in the first
two games of May. It's really just been since Sunday.
We're talking about a six game sample size. So well,
I'm I've never been the biggest Poloco fan, that's for sure. Yeah,
I'm not willing to say he's done yet.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Well I'm not saying he's done either. I'm just saying
that's not what I'm saying at all, Dick. What I'm
saying is that this idea that we found a superstar
and that Jerry Depoto can just sit around and say
we're good. No, you're not good, You're not Andori Polocko
is not a superstar. He's never been a superstar, never
been superstar. Julio Rodriguez, I mean, my guy, we're in
the same freaking boer. Get this guy some damn help.
(26:05):
Get him an aircraft carry him. So tired of using
that term. It's making me sick.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
That's the point. Well, you're not.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Gonna get an aircraft carry in the middle of season.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Well, if you could trade for one, potentially, if somebody
comes available. I mean they probably won't do that, But dude,
we have nine top hundred prospects now, nine of them
nine percent.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
But remember top hundred belongs in Seattle.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Remember guys, that three point five million in the Saveris deal.
That's right, that's going to impact what they do at
the DIVIL.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I hope Framer's wrong about that. Look, Framer's not saying
that's going to happen. He was just speculating if it
would happen. There's a big difference. But I get it.
I I just think that again, barring an absolute miracle,
I would still expect that this offense is going to
be a team that needs a bad in July.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Well, and we're gonna have to wait all the way
until July because look at the American League. How many
teams are done tight two You're right, You're right, two teams.
That's a lot. And I don't even know if the
Oriols are done. They weren't supposed to be done, but
they're nine games under five hundred.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Good news is everybody's got a chance. Bad news is
everybody's got a chance. Everybody's got a chance in this league,
and SIDS it makes it terrible. Why they should move
the deadline back. If you're gonna do this thing where
you got nineteen teams or whatever it is, I mean
it's actually fourteen. Half the league makes the playoffs, then
push the deadline back. Push the deadline back to the
end of August. Hell, do something really weird. Make it
the middle of August. How about that give us an
(27:23):
extra couple of weeks to sort this thing out, because
come July thirtieth, everybody's alive, nobody's making any moves.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
We'll get a break.

Emerald Queen Casino, the vetting capital of the Northwest, on
Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
All right, we're back here on a Monday night from
the ameral Queen Casino Sportsbook, which means in forty seven
hours from now, we will be getting ready to announce
the NFL schedule for your Seattle Seahawk. Although we should
take wagers and how many games, well already.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Know by five o'clocks.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
It's stupid, and I can play about it every year.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
How we know, like usually we know like seven Hawks
games when we take the air at three.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Jackon's that bother you?
Speaker 8 (28:14):
No, not at all. I just listen.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Maybe it's just because of how I've grown up on
social media, like I just get.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Out an old crotchety bastard like us. I just just.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
It's just part of part of the world to find
news on social media.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
So and it's it's impossible for you not to hear it,
because even if you don't watch social media, you go
hear it from me at three o'clock.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I'll just tell you.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
Because you'll tell me anyway.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
It's like I might just give you the whole schedule three.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
It's like making up on Christmas morning as a kid
and coming down the stairs and only half your presence
are wrapped and the other half are.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Just sitting on the floor like here you go, there
they are.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
But is this really like Christmas?
Speaker 5 (28:51):
I love scheduling.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I love the schedule, but like Christmas morning though, maybe
it's Easter Sun, maybe it's the fourth night.
Speaker 8 (28:59):
I don't think it's a good analogy.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Maybe it's Valentine's Day when you're you know, twelve years
old and get your first crush.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I don't know, but I'm looking.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
At there are a couple of possibilities for Seahawk Husky
road trips this year because the Seahawks play the Commander's
on the road and the Huskies play at Maryland.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
So how about if you're gonna go that far?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Of course, let's see if you see if the Commander's
game ends up on either October the fifth or Monday
Night football.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
You get it one last year, didn't you?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Detroit last year? Yeah, we had the lot that was
two years ago. Lions uh in Michigan. The other one
is la uh Ucla on Saturday, November twenty second, maybe
the Rams the next day. That's in LA definitely, So
we got we got a couple of Husky potential road
trips this year. But I don't know. I mean, I
think that the NFL schedule, Man, I just keep looking
(29:44):
at that seven and a half over under and thinking,
what are they doing?
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Can we bet that right now?
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Absolutely? I've already bet it.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Okay, I mean, what do they know that we don't know?
I mean, just listen to these quarterbacks that are coming
to town.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
CJ.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Stroud, JJ McCarthy, Baker Mayfield, Anthony Richardson, Spencer Rattler, your Boy,
Brock Purty, Kyler, Murray, Matt Stafford, and then Michael Pennix,
Bryce Young, Trevor, Lawrence cam Ward. Who else we miss
in here? Jayden Daniels is good, right, but this is crazy?
(30:17):
What do you mean seven and a half? It should
be like nine and a half. I completely agree with money. However,
there are booze from a drunk guy. Just grab a
bottle and run.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
There's radio stations in other cities that are mentioning Sam
Darnold in that same list.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
I don't understand.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Okay, that's fine, but we got a good defense. Yes,
but they don't know that even if the offense, but
Vegas does. Vegas should Vegas should know that.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
What are we missing?
Speaker 6 (30:42):
I have no idea there is I see worst case scenario. Oh,
they're as good as they were last year. That's worst
case scenario.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Worst case scenario for me is like maybe some injuries
in you're eight and nine back, yeah, I mean yeah, and.
Speaker 6 (30:56):
I mean last year being nine to eight, because I
don't think you were ten and seven last year, Because
you don't count the Jay game at the end, they
would have lost that.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
If the Rams were playing for the playoff.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
I think they think they could have won it. They
almost lost to the JVM.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Okay, but they they didn't. I don't know what to
be positive.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Like Quincy Pondexter, come on, Sam Darnold, you can look
out from the outside and say, listen, he had one
good year with Minnesota, but other than that he's been bad.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
So with Justin Jefferson and a good.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Let me just as I get that, and I think
that's logical. But let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
If I would have told you a year ago our
starting quarterback is Sam Darnel.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
A year ago, okay, what would you have said?
Speaker 6 (31:36):
I would have I would have said, hey, at least
we're gonna try something new from the Gino Smith.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Really that you would have said, we're gonna.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Yes, I would have said, we're gonna stink, We're gonna
stick exactly if I would have told you so one year,
one year in Minnesota has changed our minds on Sam
Darnold that much.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
Not not in America. That hasn't. And that's why the line.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Is America, What about in Russia? Probably not there either.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
We think the Seahawks will be pretty bad.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
But I spent the darnold somewhere in the twelve.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I hope you're right. Yeah, I don't think he's I
hope you're right. Well, i'll tell you what. I'm kind
of bummed about Jackson that we're not playing the Bengals
so we can't see Joe Burrow right up this batmobile?
Speaker 7 (32:18):
Oh my gosh, did you guys see this? Joe Burrow?
What about this purchase? He purchased a replica of the
Dark Night Batmobile, the tumbler that Christian Bale's Batman drove.
He purchased a replica of one of those. It apparently
is drivable with a five hundred and twenty five horsepower engine,
but not street legal, right, not street legal? No, not
(32:41):
street legal, but still so he can take a track. Yeah,
five hundred and twenty five horsepower engine.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
That is dope.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (32:47):
Please?
Speaker 4 (32:47):
How much?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
How big is the Bengals player's parking lot? And does
he just drive that thing around the parking lot? Is
he driving around the stadium?
Speaker 4 (32:54):
All right?
Speaker 7 (32:55):
The cost of it came out three two point nine
nine three million dollars.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
For that thing.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Nice to have few money and just blow it on
a freaking car that you'll never get to drive down.
Speaker 8 (33:06):
The free three million dollars.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
What's the stupidest thing you ever bought?
Speaker 8 (33:08):
By the way, ever stupidest thing I've ever bought?
Speaker 5 (33:15):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (33:16):
Man, I haven't bought a lot of I'm might too
logical to buy really stupid things.
Speaker 8 (33:20):
But I've gone on like stupid trips for no reason.
Speaker 7 (33:22):
Like I was in this relationship with a girl in
high school and we broke up.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
But she was going to school in Hawaii.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
So after we broke up, I said, screw it, I'm
gonna go to Hawaii. So I just for for for
like a week, went to Hawaii, like right as my
freshman year was starting at Seattle Pacific. I just said, screwed,
I'm going to spend a week in Hawaii. Which but
it was a kind of logic. Done this thing you've
ever bought, You've never bought it. It was you're like
way down the list. Yeah, that's all Like Jason Siegel
(33:50):
and forgetting Sarah Marshall, really stupid to go on a
trip like right after the breakup to where the person is.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Okay, well that's kind of dumb, but the fact that
you went on a trip wasn't stupid, right. I mean, dude,
I bought a drone like two years ago. I've used
it one time.
Speaker 8 (34:05):
That's clasic softy Okay.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
I crashed it, by the way, and then the propellers
got all scuffed up. And because you gotta set that
thing at the right settings. Where is it like the
what's the eye? What's the gimbal locks?
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Stupid? I don't know what I'm talking about, but.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
Yeah, it's it's it's sitting in my closet just collecting dust.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
You know that big bug zapper like you can fire
like things that bought us up.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
I used it once and it's in the closet. It's
just sitting there.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
Those are that was the point, Like everybody thing really expensive.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
The drone was like four hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah, I bought it and it's literally sitting in the
closet doing nothing.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
Why guy, one, that just popped in my head and
you warned me about it ahead of time. What's that
oldest cantina? Yeah, don't go there at Disney World. Waste
the money. But now you can say you win. I'm
taking notes what not to get. Ok one, hundred and
fifty bucks for like four drinks and a what bad appetizer.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
They know when you're there that you can charge you
whatever they want, and you'll say, yes, okay, the drinks
are like what you I'm known, well, you know what honestly,
And this is gonna sound like I'm gonna sound like
an old man, but we should be ashamed of ourselves.
The money we spend in concessions at sporting events. It's
freaking highway robbery. That's why I don't absolute highway robbing.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
I may buy buying something that you can buy a
seven eleven on the way home for one twentieth of
what you just.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Paid exactly, and you like it and you bend over it,
take it.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
The Faine family is notorious for food into the into
the stadium that like, you're not you're not spending fifty
bucks of my money on two pizzas of hot kid,
You're starving. Man, God, when you get home, you can

you pick it. We're gonna break
