Speaker 1 (00:00):
We have our bracket, our first Friday brackets of twenty
twenty five. It's a very exciting moment for the radio program,
and today's topic has simply put fan bases that we
meaning me, Dick and Jackson hate the most. Now, we
had an eight versus one play in game on Twitter
earlier today. You want to give us the result of
(00:21):
that game, Jackson.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The result of that is fifty eight to forty two.
Yankees move ahead, all right, Yankees move on. That means
the Yankee fan base.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We'll move on to face to forty nine ers in
round number one, Cougars versus Gonzaga in round number one,
and the four to five matchup, Boston versus Toronto, the
three to six matchup in the first round, and the
Oregon Ducks fan base against the Portland Timbers fan base.
I assume there's some crossover there, Jackson as well. Is
(00:51):
the two versus seventeen Full disclosure, we did not include
Oklahoma City. We did not include the Houston Astros because
I only have one and I was voted down by
Jackson Dick Fange, especially on the OKC thing, which I
still think we made a major mistake.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Leaving them off this bracket.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
But I am one man, and I speak for myself
and myself only, So let's get to the How about
we start with a four versus five match? Yet, Oh boy,
Washington State's fan base versus Gonzaga's fan base. Which fan
base do we hate the most? Jackson, you go first.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I'm giving my vote to Gonzaga.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I didn't even think that Washington State deserved to be
in this bracket. For what it's worth, I think, wow,
they had there's moments where they can be annoying, But
I think now, especially that we're in the Big Ten,
as Husky fans, I just haven't had a lot of
bad interactions anymore with with the Cougars. Understand that they're
(01:46):
just I think in a different place as a as
a as a university, as a sports franchise, their football team.
So those those interactions, I just they've kind of gone
to the wayside.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It's almost it's very much kind of brothers now. And
you know, frankly, I don't know if I've said this yet,
but like and and and Softy you might kill me,
But if there's a game that doesn't involve any rooting
interest whatsoever, I'm probably am rooting for the Cougars because
they they're a little.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Little nother nange that's changed in the last years.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Corrective, if we his bracket five years ago, you're giving
us a different answer, But go ahead.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
Well, I think that's a fair take because the Cougars
have been left in the dust. And so the thing is,
the Cougar fans were always What was irritating to me
about the Cougar fans is when they were good, God,
nobody would talk smack like the Cougar fans, right, But
then then when when they were bad, it's not like
they would still puff out their chest and fight for
their team. They'd run and hide. Like I know so
(02:45):
many Cougar fans that like, when they're bad, they're.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Like, oh, whatever, I don't even care. They suck, blah
blah blah, Like, no, that's not that's not what you do.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
Like when your team's great, pump out your chest. Fine,
when your team's not good, be pissed that they're not good,
and and and and demand more. And the Cougar fan
never did that. But you're right, Jackson, I'm I'm gonna
vote for Gonzaga just by.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
The foll Dick Fane just admitted on the air that
the Zag fan base annoys him more than Wazoo's fan base.
I will say this. You realize he's married to a
Washington State Cougar. By the way, that's true if he
wants to sleep in the same.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Who because I think, well, I just think that the
Gonzaga fan base is arrogant.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
There's no question about that. You gotta but I'm one
of I'm one of the arrogant Gonzaga fans. So, I mean,
this is a line. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (03:37):
The thing with the Cougar fan base, and Jackson is
totally right, it's it's it's minor league football.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Now wow wow.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
So like when you're comparing a fan base of a
minor league team versus a fan base of one of
the top ten teams in college basketball, like you'll just say,
You'll just say the fan base in the top ten
team is probably more irritated.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I I cannot believe the amount of radio gold for
the sound wall that we have just received from Richard
el Fay.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I mean, I had to look on the calendar. Is
this Christmas?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
No, it's the night not the first night of Hanuka time.
I mean, we're done. It's it's zag Zagon moves on,
moving on. I mean by defoidna need me to jump in.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
My take on this thing, I think Gonzaga some of
some of those people out there, they got most arrogant
people walk in the face of the earth. And the
fact that all of them believe three hundred miles away
that we should be you know, uh walking around like
puppy dogs. Uh just you know, lapping all you know,
all over them, just looking, you know, well, waiting for
whatever scraps fall off the dinner table. You're not in Seattle,
(04:44):
You'll never be in Western Washington. Nobody here should give
a damn about what happens and smoke kanwic Go and Zaga.
Yet they apparently are Seattle's basketball team. Maybe it's partially
because the Huskis are not up in great for a
long period of time and they've had a chance to
come in here and take this thing over.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
When they go to Key Arena.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Coliseum certainly feels like Seattle's team when they're absolutely which is.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
A freaking joke.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
And the fact that they want the amount of coverage
that they want out here in Seattle for a school
that's got like forty people by the way. Uh and
there freaking you know, underclass is. But the media gives
them the coverage, and I hate that even more.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I mean that's the thing.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
I mean, are they are they are they clamoring for
the coverage or is it just is it just coming
because the TV stations in the newspaper know they're good
and people care about.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
They They just you know, I don't give a damn.
I hope Gonzaga. I I I am so anti Gonzaga.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Uh. It is unbelievable. I never knew that. And the
fact that what you've become sickens me.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Before we move on the text line, dick Wow, yeah, age.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I don't read I don't read the tech. He just
managed to piss off two fan base.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
All right, okay, we have time for one more. You
want to break, Let's keep going, keep on. Okay, let's
do Boston Toronto?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So these Zags have moved on to face the winner
of the Niners and the Yankees. Right in the second round,
Red Sox and Toronto did go ahead.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Boy, this is a tough one.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
I think I'm gonna lean Red Sox because my vitriol
towards the Blue Jays is more towards Mariner ownership and
their willingness to embrace and coddle Blue Jay fans and
take money from Blue Jay fans instead of do what's
best for their own organization, which would be to put
the Blue Jay games on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in April.
(06:34):
That's when the best time to put the Blue Jays
on here, not every single year, Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
and usually in July. This is like the first time
it hasn't been in July, the middle of summer in
a long long time. So I'm gonna lean Blue Jay
a Red Sox fan because I'm just sick and tired
of the bandwagon jump into the Red Sox fans in
the last twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Well, but you mentioned it right there, twenty five years, right,
this is twenty five years.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
That's who people are, you know. They jump on the
Boston wagon.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
They jump on the Yankee wagon, the Laker wagon, the
Cowboy wagon, the packer wagon, whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
So it kind of is becoming old half for me.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I don't think people actually realize how nasty Blue Jays
fans are.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
They are nasty people, really, and I think Canadians. Well,
because they're Canadians.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
They're Canada's team, right, And so everybody in a large
part of Canada, not everybody, but a large part of
Canada roots for Toronto. And when you're sitting up there
freezing your balls off for three hundred and forty days
a year, you make a kind of cuckoo as well.
By the way, they are gnarly nasty people. I hear
some nasty stuff on social media. I see some nasty stuff.
I hear some gnarly stuff from the stands when I
(07:39):
go to Blue Jay fans games. And I tell you what, man,
Boston they put people in the stadium for the series
with Boston, not like Toronto. Toronto is a totally different animal, man.
I mean, Boston feels like maybe it's a fifty to
fifty split with Mariner fans Toronto when they come to town.
And by the way, I'm already getting messages from people
that are downtown outside the stadium saying there's way too
(08:01):
many Blue Jay fans.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Now it still is the same, and it it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I get that, but it feels like a Blue Jay
frickin home game, like like there's no debate that it's
a home game.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
So I'm going with Toronto f those people. Why don't
the Mariners just put the tariffs on the tickets? They should,
they should, Jackson solve the tire.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
You know why the Red Sox have the worst fan
base because they are fans from other cities that have
no connection to Boston and no connection to the Red Sox,
who because they came back, and they because they were
a because they were all the lovable losers who haven't
won in eighty six years, and then because they won
to oh four, Oh they're they're not even more lovable
(08:42):
because they're winners. But those people are from Linnwood, Tuckwilla,
wherever around here that you can name every single suburb
of Seattle, relatives from Boston.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Everybody's got relatives from somewhere. Sure, but we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I think there's a lot of a large, large number
of people who don't even have the connection. You are
just Red Sox because oh the Mariners, thinking I want
to root for a good team, Ronald, you know, I
don't like those people, so Red Sox fans that aren't
even Boston related people.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
That's why you have the worst fan base.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I think we're gonna have to just keep it here
and keep going here we are because we're so late
for this thing anyway. So let's get to the next
matchup Oregon Duck fans versus Portland Timper fans. Okay, So
I will jump in here and I will just say
this that there is a subspecies if human, that I
(09:38):
was not even aware existed until I went to Eugene,
Oregon on a regular basis.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
And I think this. I think that if you struggle to.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Envision a scenario where humanity survives down the road, survives
like you know, I don't know, an annibomb or some
kind of.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Nuclear attack or some kind of alien attack.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I don't know what Oregon fans are made of, but
they have the d in their bodies like cockroaches to
survive whatever is thrown at them.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
And I don't know if I've ever been more turned off,
disgusted by a fan base or even a human being
that I have Oregon fans. And I would just admit
this right now. I have hatred in my heart for
a lot of things. Oregon fans are number one at
the top of the list. Most of these people that
go on social media and talk smack about UDB and
Oregon don't even have the freaking balls to use their
(10:26):
name on social media. That's the difference between maybe Oregon
fans and Cougar fans, maybe other fan bases. They're too
scared to even put their name behind their freaking title,
and then they get mad, but you don't engage. Well,
why aren't you engaging with lizard lips ducked forty Because
I'm not even sure if that's a human being or
a robot, to be honest with you. So when you
start off, by the way, as a coward on social
(10:49):
media and don't even have the guts to put your
name on the drivel that you're writing on Twitter, that's
number one and then number two. This is a fan
base that believes they should be considered among the elite
of college football's royalty. Well, to be considered among the
elite of college football's royalty, there's one thing they gotta
do that you haven't done. That's when a damn freaking
national championship, you realize that we just managed to make
(11:11):
a pope to put.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
An American into the head of the Vatican.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Before Oregon won a national title, The question of what
will happen.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
First, and America becomes Pope.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
The Oregon wins a national championship has been answered, and
it's the freaking Pope.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
How are these people?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I don't care how old they are, I don't care
where their background is, I don't care what they do
for a living. I don't care if they help me
or hurt me. Every single one of them can rot,
every single one.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
So I'm going with or Jackson.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, you know, there's so much overlapping between the Oregon
Ducks and the large little people and listen, like having
been to a bunch of games at the Timbers Stadium,
like those fans, they're they're pretty sick people. But here's
one of the maybe my biggest pet peeve with fan bases,
and probably the number one category I'm going with when
(12:01):
voting in this bracket. It's fan bases who talk ish
and then don't back it up with anything that they've
ever won. The Portland Timbers have been to three championship
games since twenty fifteen. They have a championship that they
won in fifteen. They can talk their stuff because they
actually have trophies to back it up.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
They've done stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The Oregon Ducks haven't done jack, you know what, And
they still talk like they've won a national title. They
still talk like they've done things that the Huskies have done.
Guess what you haven't. So guess what, Oregon Duck fans,
you are the worst fan base because at least, unlike
the Timbers, you don't have any trophies to back up
the stuff you're talking.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well, here's the thing, and so it's Oregon, right, which
is great because we do a break here, we're massively late.
That's the one thing I think that pisses them off
the most that we can hang over their heads totally
that they've never won the national title. So why do
you think I was almost orgasmic when Ohio State kicked
their asses. Yeah, one thing that we have left on them.
(13:01):
Guess what, dick, we still have it.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
We still hot. It was a great New Year's Day,
wasn't it hot? That was a hell of a New
Year's Day? Man, unbelievable. I was on the golf course,
kept checking the score. One is this real?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
So this is awesome? Oregon, Gonzaga, and Boston are moving
on in the most Annoying fan Base bracket. We'll get
to our eight to one matchup, which is the Niners
versus the Yankees get to the second round and crowned champ.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Next on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
On casting live from the R and R Foundation Specialist
Broadcast Studio. Now back to Saftie and Dig powered by
Emerald Queen Casino, the Vetti and Capital of the Northwest.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
On Sports Radio and Naties three point three.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
kJ R FM.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
All right, the Bracket Friday segment continues here fan bases
that we hate the most. Gonzaga has moved on defeating
Washington State in the first round. The Boston Red Sox
have moved on to the Toronto Blue Jays in the
first round. The Oregon Ducks have moved on defeating the
Portland Timbers fans in the first round. That brings us
(14:07):
to our one eight matchup. Yankees defeated Cowboy fans in
the play in game. So with San Francisco versus the
Yankees the one versus eight seed to see who moves
on to face Skinzaga.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
In the semi final. Dick Fame go ahead.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
Well, I mean, if it's just overall fan bases, I
think the Yankees are worse. But this is the poll,
is what fan base pisses us off the most, right,
and that's got to be the Niners. I mean, there
are rivals, there are version of Oregon in the NFL,
and their fan base is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, just
(14:44):
look at nine or eight he leads of just a
following of minions that are just blake.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Talk about not winning anything. My god, I mean, it's
so awesome. There are two rivals as haven't one squat
in thirty years. I mean, that is just spectacular. So
give me the Niner fans. It was thirty one years ago.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
They won their last championship, right when Steve Young beat
the Chargers, correct, I believe in in ninety four. So yeah,
I mean I just look, if you would have asked
the nine to ten, fifteen, even twenty year old, maybe
twenty five year old Softy, I probably would have said
the Yankees because I got personal experience. I got plucked
in the head by a nine year old girl when
(15:27):
I was at Yankee Stadium, oh about twenty five years ago,
just came up behind me and smacked me right in
the back of the head, wearing a Mariner shirt.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
With my dad.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I've been to a ton of Yankee I've not been
in the new Park, by the way, but the old
Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Been there a ton of times.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
My dad, you guys know, is from from Flushing, from Queens,
so I've got a lot of family back in New
York and I've been to a ton of Yankee games.
And they're they're freaking exactly what they're made to be.
They're Neanderthals, these people, okay, and they they haven't seen.
They have maybe the highest expectation of any fan base
in sports, even more so than Alabama.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
I mean, twenty seven championships will do that to a
fan base.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
And they are gnarly and they are raised at a
young age to be cocky and arrogant, and I experienced
that firsthand. But you know, those days for me are
kind of over right because the Mariners and Yankees, let's.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Face it, haven't had a real rivalry for twenty five
years half my life. Kind of like Gonzagon, you.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Done well because the Huskies keep getting their ass kicked
by it, and the the Niners.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
You mentioned Niner night.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Okay, this is how much I got completely annoyed by
Niner eight. I'm gonna show you something on my cell
phone here, Okay, and you tell me what this says.
This is Niner Nate's profile.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
What is that right there? Unblock caller?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
He's been blocked on my phone for two years. I
had enough of the guy, all right. Now, I block
people on Twitter. I don't block a lot of people
from having my phone number unless it's one of those
folks that got my number one. I gave it out
on accidents, right, I had enough of him. He kept
he was after a game four o'clock. He would just
text me, suck on this. I'm like, dude, get the
(17:03):
hell out of my phone. I had to block the guy,
all right. That's how annoying they are. And again nine
or eight is one of those dudes that's the epitome
of what you're talking about. He's never seen a championship
in his lifetime. Yeah, he acts like you've seen twenty
of them. So I'm going San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
We gotta we gotta pick up the pace a lot here.
So let me just say Niners three zero, let's go
move on, all right?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Okay, So let's go with the Boston Red Sox versus
the Oregon Ducks three versus two.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I mean to me, it's easy. It's Oregon all day long.
It's Oregon slam duck.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
All right, Oregon moves on. Gonzaga versus the forty nine ers, Jackson,
you want to jump in.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Here, Ah, this one's a little bit closer. I think
it all comes back to the fact that for forty
nine ers, I just it's it's such an annoyance. But
like in terms of the hate, like I hate when
somebody thinks that they're just rationally better than us. And listen,
has Gonzaga won a national championship? They have not, So
(18:02):
why do they I was about to say, you, but
why do Gonzaga fans act like they've won a national championship?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I don't think they've They act like a national championship.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
They they act like they're one of the top five
programs in America, which they have been over the last
twenty years.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
So at least the forty nine ers have won something
at some point. But anyway, regardless, I am going to
so barely forty nine ers, but it is, but it
is closer, just because I hate how they have Gonzaga
fans act like they have won a national title.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Okay, so we got we got Oregon already moving on
in one in one semi to the title game. Right now,
we got the Gonzaga Bulldogs and the forty nine er
fan base.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Jackson has selected Gonzaga.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
No, I've sect to the forty nine ers.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Forty nine ers, Okay, go ahead to go. This is
not even debatable.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Come on, the forty nine ers are our biggest rival.
They talk smack every single year to what do Gonzaga
fans ever do to you? They don't talk about the
Husky fans at all, so you don't deal with I.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Was gonna say time out just a second. You you
you really want me to answer that question? Yes, what
do they do to me?
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Well?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
What did you to you? Because you bring it on yourself.
You're the Draymon Green. You are the Draymond Green.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
Of antagonizing Gonzaga. So that's why they bring it on you.
Okay you want to go that road, Yes, go that road.
You're the Benedict Arnold a Husky fans. How's that sound?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
You're a freaking turncoat. And I gotta sit here on
anybody gotta sit here and look at you and deal
with you every single flipping day. You know my passion
for it's never waivered, you ever asked me a question.
You asked me, Jackson, He asked me, what have they
ever done to me? What have they done to me?
And make me sit with him on every freaking day?
(19:44):
That's what you made me do every damn day. I
gotta deal with this nonsense. Looking at a supposed Husky
fan who roots is like like crazy fre Gonzaga and
he has the gall Jackson to tell me, well, I
don't really root for him, not hard really, because when
they beat U. C. L A, You and Dixon, we're
crying like four year olds on social media? Are you
kidding me? Okay, so you're taking the Niners right, of course?
(20:06):
All right, So Niners in Oregon are obviously into the championship. Now,
so let's go San Francisco versus the good title. This
is a good title.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
I think that that Niner fans are arrogant. I think
many of them are inappropriate. However, Oregon fans take inappropriateness
to an entirely new level. I've never seen I've never
been treated in a stadium the way I'm treated at
(20:37):
in that stadium. And I've been as I've been a
road fan, I've been as a Seahawk fan, and a
Husky fan, Sonic fan to many many road environments. Nobody
treats you like then, Like you mentioned the Neanderthals at
Oddston Stadium, and that's exactly what they are. And when
you walk outside going back to your car, and you
just pass miles and miles of trailers with people in
(21:00):
their homes because that's where they live. In the parking
lot of outs and stadium, they bring their home with
them to the game and they're swearing at you.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
God, it's it's unbelievab all right, So di'x going Oregon, Jackson,
go ahead.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Once again, My number one criteria for this entire bracket
was if you talk stuff and you can't back it
up with anything. And like for young Niner fans like
nine or n eight and people my age, like you
clearly don't have anything to talk because you haven't won
anything in thirty years, but at least you do have
a long period where you were the best team in
(21:32):
the National Football League. Once again, Oregon, you haven't won,
jack squat, so shut up saying that you have all.
We've done so much and we've done this, and that
you haven't won a national title. Your logo is the
number of national titles you've won. You don't get to
talk smack about anything until you've won one, and by far,
(21:55):
just the way they act and also something like they
do travel like they I mentioned invading places, they do
invade and I hate that part as well.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
So you're going with Oregon Oregon? Okay, so Oregon is
the winner, but safety, I know, please cook please. What
I would just say is that you mentioned the zero
on their helmets, which you guys know is sign language
for a vaginant you know, yes, I do, which for
some Oregon fans is.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
The closest you'll ever get to it.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Well, okay, I'm just telling you right now, so you
may as well just enjoy that looking at it, because
you're never gonna get to it. And I think, like,
I don't know how much we can say on the
air and how much we can't say on the air.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Uh, you know pussy cats, right?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
You know?
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I mean, can I say that on the air? Jackson?
Is that okay?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
As long as you include cats.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I think I don't know if there's a fan base
in football and a fan base in sports that is
full of more cowards than Oregon is. Because my block
list on social media, And I'll be honest with you,
I don't block a lot of people anymore, Dick.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I just mute them, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
It kind of seems like it's more satisfactory to mute
versus block. My block list is about eight hundred users long,
and I would say ninety five percent of them are
Oregon fans who don't have the balls to use their
real name on social media. I mean, it is unbelievable
how many cowards exist in that fan base.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
And I still see them, by the way, on social media.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I got one guy or gal or thing I don't
even know what it is, and it who continues to
create another Twitter account to come after me, and I
keep blocking them or muting them over in all the worlds.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Because it's obvious.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
It's like they're saying the same things and using the
same verbiage and the same the same personality.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
So I mean that at least Niner fans have the guts.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I mean, Niner fans, will you know, stick a shake
in your neck when you walk through their stadium parking
a lot, obviously, especially Giants San Giant fans by the way,
Oh my god, with the Dodgers, crazy people, Okay, Niner fans.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
I think the difference for me is I've observed the
people that I engage with. I know who they are.
Oregon fans I have no idea who they are.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Honestly, I mean, they could be in prison just getting
their five minutes of computer time that week. I I
have no idea what these people hide behind their handles.
I see a lot of cowards on social media. And
it's also personal, right because they're three hundred miles away.
They're in the Pacific Northwest, easy to get to, easy
for them to come up here when they invade Husky Stadium.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
It pisses me off man every single time.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
And the other thing about Oregon fans that drive me
nuts is what do Oregon fans say time and time
again about that ninety one National Championship split?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
No, Well, that and you're living in the past thirty
four years ago?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Really, so how come every time I go to Austin
Stadium I see the highlight of Kenny Wheaton scoring a
touchdown twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Years ago in a regular season Why as well?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
If we are living in the past, then why do
I continue to see that play that's now thirty years old?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
At least ours is a title from Perfect Season.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Okay, so you take your living in the past and
shove it up your ass, because that's all I see
when I go to your ratten fested dump of a park.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
We're gonna break Mia Hammond.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
You guys may know that name, goalkeeper for the the
U UP soccer team, is fighting a incredibly rare form
of kidney cancer. We're gonna talk to her and get
her story and ask how we can help. Next on
ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Broadcasting live from the R and R Foundation specialist broad
Jest Studio. Now back to Softie and Dick powered by
Emerald Queen Casino, the vetty and capital of the Northwest
on Sports Radio nineties three point three kjr FF.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
All Right, boys and girls, we're back on a Friday
night right here on ninety three to three KJRFM from
Cheney Stadium in Tacoma, getting ready for the Rainiers and
Rivercats at seven o five doors a flung open. The
fans are moving into the park as we speak here
on ninety three three KJRFM. But we're going away from
baseball for a second because joining us right now on
the radio show, one of the best goalkeepers in women's
(25:48):
college soccer, and when I say that, I really mean that.
She had an eight eighty two save percentage last year,
which was the third lowest in the country. She's also
an academic, all dish strict student off the pitch as well,
but now she's in the fight of her life. You
may have heard about this on social media. We wanted
to get her on to hear her story and have
(26:09):
her talk to us and say hello. From the Husky
women's soccer team. Goalkeeper Mia Hammond is with us on
the show. Mia, Happy Friday.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
What's going on? Not much?
Speaker 5 (26:19):
I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yeah, Well, we're excited to have you on the air.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Before we talk soccer and before we get to everything
happening with your favorite sports, give people an idea of
what your life is like now, right. I mean, you
have the rain game earlier this year, you go to Spain,
I believe you were on that trip as well, and
then you come home and you get some news about
an aggressive form of kidney cancer and everything kind of
(26:45):
just gets put on hold. So tell us about what
your life is like now, what it's been like the
last couple of months for you since your diagnosis.
Speaker 9 (26:53):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
It's been a crazy few past months. Yeah, about two
months ago, filling pretty ill, I had a really bad cough,
and like you said, I went to Spain and I
fell ill in Spain as well, and we were just
kind of confused. We thought it was like an infection
or something. But I came back and then one morning
I was just having a lot of chest pains, just
like shortness of breath, and so I ended up going
(27:17):
to the hospital where we later found out that I
had this kidney cancer that happened over the span of
a few weeks. But I got chemo my first time
a chemo a few weeks ago, and before that I
was just really in bad shape. I wasn't doing well.
But now I feel better than ever. I sound great,
I feel great. My friends had said, I have color
(27:38):
back in my face. So yeah, it's been a great
few weeks after chemos. So really happy about that.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Well, And you always seem to look at the bright side.
You obviously got a great level of optimism about you.
How about battling this disease. Maybe in the best place
in the country to win the battle over this disease.
I mean, this is the place you want to be
if you're sick in Seattle, right, Yeah, you did.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Medicine has been great, Fred hutch has been great even
before on like treatment. All the doctors are just saying
how great of hands I'm in, And that has just
been really reassuring because obviously, like I'm not a doctor,
I don't really know what's going on, but just to
hear that I'm having the best doctors take care of
me and look after me, and everyone behind the scenes
has also been pushing for me to get the best
care possible. It just makes me feel really loved and
just makes you feel like I can beat this even
(28:23):
more than I always believe I can.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Well, Mea Hammond's again from the uw women's soccer team,
is fighting an aggressive form of kidney cancer. We're going
to help get the word out for the go fund
me fundraiser in just a moment. But you mentioned something there,
MEA that I've heard now from a couple of people
today kind of getting ready for the interview, that you
don't really know what's going on, and it's almost like
that that ignorance is on purpose, that you don't want
(28:47):
to know what's going on, like your parents know more
than you do.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
There's a lot of people out there that are.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Currently fighting cancer, right, millions of people that are fighting this,
and they might hear you and hear you're a pro
and wonder why you're doing it the way you're doing.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
It and why you want to be kept in the
dark about some stuff.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
M h Yeah, Honestly it started as it just stems
from fear of knowing, because no twenty year old expects
to just have this cancer diagnosis much less like like
when you're in twenty you feel invincible.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
And especially a student awathte as well, like if I
could play talk or I could do anything like that's
just my mindset. So just like it comes from a
place of fear and not knowing you're invisible anymore. But
it's like a known thing at my appointments now that
I just want to hear the synopsis here all like
the just the general news, and then I'm out for
the details. I cannot know because if I know more details,
(29:43):
if I know the survival rate, anything, I just I
just feel like that just diminishes my hope and diminishes
my optimism. And the funny thing for me too is
I didn't know what stage cancer I had until the
good fund Me came out because in a little blurb
it says I have stage four cancer that I had
no idea, So even that was a shock after a
few weeks of just having this diagnosis. So Alsie has
(30:04):
helped me a lot. And if I would recommend anything
to someone who's going through this, if not knowing would
help you, then it works for me. So yeah, that's
what I have to say.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
Well, Mia, you tweeted this week you said the love
and support I've already seen has been surreal. Can you
tell us a story, give us an anecdote. You know
what has really touched you. Is there a moment or
something that someone did for you.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Yeah, well it started with big will fund me and
like I post on Instagram just kind of announcing this,
and this one girl from you to have reached out
to me, and it is like I'm a college student
as well, Like I have just got diagnosis past December,
and I've been fighting for the fighting this and it's
just like it's really isolating just not being around a
(30:46):
lot of people my age who have dealt with this
and like had personal experiences and stuff. Because you, like
I said before, no two year old expects to get
this diagnosis. So just like all the personal anecdotes I've
heard from people who I don't even know and whatnot,
that has been amazing. And then also the support from
the softball community and the sports community in general, especially
in college athletics, has been outstanding. Like the softball team
(31:09):
put orange ruins in their hair for me, that was amazing,
I know, idea that was happening. So just little things
like that are just really meaningful for me.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Well, Mia Hammond's again from the U Deep soccer team,
is with us on the air, and I mean, look me,
I'll be honest with you. I found out about what
was going on with you through social media, right, I mean,
it's just been unbelievable that just groundswellow support. And we
just got done doing a little contest on the air
to pick the most annoying fan base of all time,
and the Oregon Duck fans won, by the way, just
(31:37):
so you know, a full disclosure, right, But you've even
got you've even got Oregon fans that are coming to
your defense. And I mean, did you notice that that
you've got Oregon people helping to raise money for you.
The go fund me is over ninety seven thousand dollars already,
and fans of teams that are supposed to be rivals
(31:59):
are coming to hurt you.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I mean, what is that?
Speaker 9 (32:01):
Just?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I hope that you're able to log on to social
media and see this stuff. Miah.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Yeah, no, one hundred percent. So many teams who will
be compete against in the past have just been reaching out.
Oregon Soccer. I have close connections with them too. Unfortunately
we're rivals, but they've been super nice and supportive. It's
just insane. Like I said, the community, especially the soft community,
is so tight knit. The team we actually lost to
in the NCAA tournament, their team has been reaching out
(32:27):
to me. A lot of their players that I've played
against and competed against just having reaching out to me.
Like it's like it's extending their support and whatnot. And
that's just insane that it's gone that far. And like
you said, yeah, it's just it's just crazy that our
rivals are supporting me. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
I'm going to ask you to do something tough now.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
I want you to pat yourself on the back, which
I'm sure is probably not not easy for you to do.
But the Seattle Times article that was out yesterday said
that your teammates say that you inspire them on the field,
and I don't think they were really referring to like
your illness. They were just referring to you as a person,
as a teammate. What about your nature inspires your team?
Speaker 5 (33:09):
I think recently it's been my optimism. I think it's
helped a lot having my friends like behind me and stuff,
and then I think we just kind of feed off
each other. That's a hugely about our team culture. We
just like to pick each other up, and that's something
that they've definitely been doing for me. They've been really
supportive throughout this whole thing. I think my optimism is
also helping them have faith in me, because it's not
(33:30):
helpful when everyone's just like negative and just everyone's just
so sad and like down about everything, because that's just
not gonna help everyone. So I think the fact that
everyone's super super positive and supportive of each other, picking
each other up on and off the field, I think
has been huge in this whole situation.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Well, Mia Hammet again is with us. You're gonna beat this.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
You know that, right one nd percent. I have complete
total faith.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Absolutely, we are, we are. We are pulling for you
big time. You're gonna beat this like you beat Iowa
in the last year with those three penalties shootouts.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I remember that game.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
How cool was that for you to be a part
of that in me to talk about you're one of
the Big ten because we talked so much about you know,
basketball team and the football team, but you guys kicked
ass and you're one of the big ten.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Tell me about that.
Speaker 9 (34:17):
Yeah, the Big Town was crazy.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
That was not only as my first year playing, but
it's also our first year traveling to so many different
places and playing all these new teams. And honestly, like
my team really got me through that. Like I there's
a quote in the Seattle Times, like I think it's
like if I'll do my job, if you do your job.
That was like the main basis of the Iowa game,
Like I'll be my part if you do your part.
(34:40):
And that was just kind of like the mottel of
the whole season as well. Like I feel like we,
like I said before, we just carry each other. And
like after traveling so many weeks in a road to
so many far places, like a lot of teams would
get sick of each other, but my team did not.
We step with the touches the whole way through, and
that game just shows like we could do hard things
like we were going to push through so much adverse,
(35:00):
like traveling all the way over there, playing throughout later
your time time into Pelly Kicks leg. I can not
ask for a better team and better support for that game.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
I love it. Well.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
We just put a link out to the go fund
me fundraiser on my Twitter account at softy kJ Are
you just you just sent me something on Instagram And
I have no idea how this works on IG by
the way, so I got to figure it out. But
me has got a Twitter or a IG account at
mea kicks cancer if you want to give her a
follow on Instagram, if you want to check out the
go fund me fundraiser on my Twitter account at softy kjar.
(35:36):
That are over ninety seven thousand dollars already, which is
just unbelievable. So hey, go kick this thing's ass, all right,
and we'll talk down the road. Appreciate you doing. Thank you,
mester to luck all right, We're thinking about you.
Speaker 9 (35:47):
Of course, Thank you so much, you guys, It's been great.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
That's awesome, Mia Hammonton Again, the way people have rallied
on social media to support her has been really really
really cool.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
So on her attitude, yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Who knows to everybody, by the way, who's been a
part of this and uh and helping them proper up
because it's been pretty cool to see.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
All Right, we're gonna break
We have our bracket, our first Friday brackets of twenty
twenty five. It's a very exciting moment for the radio program,
and today's topic has simply put fan bases that we
meaning me, Dick and Jackson hate the most. Now, we
had an eight versus one play in game on Twitter
earlier today. You want to give us the result of
(00:21):
that game, Jackson.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The result of that is fifty eight to forty two.
Yankees move ahead, all right, Yankees move on. That means
the Yankee fan base.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We'll move on to face to forty nine ers in
round number one, Cougars versus Gonzaga in round number one,
and the four to five matchup, Boston versus Toronto, the
three to six matchup in the first round, and the
Oregon Ducks fan base against the Portland Timbers fan base.
I assume there's some crossover there, Jackson as well. Is
(00:51):
the two versus seventeen Full disclosure, we did not include
Oklahoma City. We did not include the Houston Astros because
I only have one and I was voted down by
Jackson Dick Fange, especially on the OKC thing, which I
still think we made a major mistake.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Leaving them off this bracket.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
But I am one man, and I speak for myself
and myself only, So let's get to the How about
we start with a four versus five match? Yet, Oh boy,
Washington State's fan base versus Gonzaga's fan base. Which fan
base do we hate the most? Jackson, you go first.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I'm giving my vote to Gonzaga.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I didn't even think that Washington State deserved to be
in this bracket. For what it's worth, I think, wow,
they had there's moments where they can be annoying, But
I think now, especially that we're in the Big Ten,
as Husky fans, I just haven't had a lot of
bad interactions anymore with with the Cougars. Understand that they're
(01:46):
just I think in a different place as a as
a as a university, as a sports franchise, their football team.
So those those interactions, I just they've kind of gone
to the wayside.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It's almost it's very much kind of brothers now. And
you know, frankly, I don't know if I've said this yet,
but like and and and Softy you might kill me,
But if there's a game that doesn't involve any rooting
interest whatsoever, I'm probably am rooting for the Cougars because
they they're a little.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Little nother nange that's changed in the last years.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Corrective, if we his bracket five years ago, you're giving
us a different answer, But go ahead.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
Well, I think that's a fair take because the Cougars
have been left in the dust. And so the thing is,
the Cougar fans were always What was irritating to me
about the Cougar fans is when they were good, God,
nobody would talk smack like the Cougar fans, right, But
then then when when they were bad, it's not like
they would still puff out their chest and fight for
their team. They'd run and hide. Like I know so
(02:45):
many Cougar fans that like, when they're bad, they're.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Like, oh, whatever, I don't even care. They suck, blah
blah blah, Like, no, that's not that's not what you do.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
Like when your team's great, pump out your chest. Fine,
when your team's not good, be pissed that they're not good,
and and and and demand more. And the Cougar fan
never did that. But you're right, Jackson, I'm I'm gonna
vote for Gonzaga just by.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
The foll Dick Fane just admitted on the air that
the Zag fan base annoys him more than Wazoo's fan base.
I will say this. You realize he's married to a
Washington State Cougar. By the way, that's true if he
wants to sleep in the same.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Who because I think, well, I just think that the
Gonzaga fan base is arrogant.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
There's no question about that. You gotta but I'm one
of I'm one of the arrogant Gonzaga fans. So, I mean,
this is a line. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (03:37):
The thing with the Cougar fan base, and Jackson is
totally right, it's it's it's minor league football.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Now wow wow.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
So like when you're comparing a fan base of a
minor league team versus a fan base of one of
the top ten teams in college basketball, like you'll just say,
You'll just say the fan base in the top ten
team is probably more irritated.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I I cannot believe the amount of radio gold for
the sound wall that we have just received from Richard
el Fay.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I mean, I had to look on the calendar. Is
this Christmas?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
No, it's the night not the first night of Hanuka time.
I mean, we're done. It's it's zag Zagon moves on,
moving on. I mean by defoidna need me to jump in.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
My take on this thing, I think Gonzaga some of
some of those people out there, they got most arrogant
people walk in the face of the earth. And the
fact that all of them believe three hundred miles away
that we should be you know, uh walking around like
puppy dogs. Uh just you know, lapping all you know,
all over them, just looking, you know, well, waiting for
whatever scraps fall off the dinner table. You're not in Seattle,
(04:44):
You'll never be in Western Washington. Nobody here should give
a damn about what happens and smoke kanwic Go and Zaga.
Yet they apparently are Seattle's basketball team. Maybe it's partially
because the Huskis are not up in great for a
long period of time and they've had a chance to
come in here and take this thing over.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
When they go to Key Arena.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Coliseum certainly feels like Seattle's team when they're absolutely which is.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
A freaking joke.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
And the fact that they want the amount of coverage
that they want out here in Seattle for a school
that's got like forty people by the way. Uh and
there freaking you know, underclass is. But the media gives
them the coverage, and I hate that even more.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I mean that's the thing.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
I mean, are they are they are they clamoring for
the coverage or is it just is it just coming
because the TV stations in the newspaper know they're good
and people care about.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
They They just you know, I don't give a damn.
I hope Gonzaga. I I I am so anti Gonzaga.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Uh. It is unbelievable. I never knew that. And the
fact that what you've become sickens me.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Before we move on the text line, dick Wow, yeah, age.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I don't read I don't read the tech. He just
managed to piss off two fan base.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
All right, okay, we have time for one more. You
want to break, Let's keep going, keep on. Okay, let's
do Boston Toronto?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So these Zags have moved on to face the winner
of the Niners and the Yankees. Right in the second round,
Red Sox and Toronto did go ahead.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Boy, this is a tough one.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
I think I'm gonna lean Red Sox because my vitriol
towards the Blue Jays is more towards Mariner ownership and
their willingness to embrace and coddle Blue Jay fans and
take money from Blue Jay fans instead of do what's
best for their own organization, which would be to put
the Blue Jay games on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in April.
(06:34):
That's when the best time to put the Blue Jays
on here, not every single year, Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
and usually in July. This is like the first time
it hasn't been in July, the middle of summer in
a long long time. So I'm gonna lean Blue Jay
a Red Sox fan because I'm just sick and tired
of the bandwagon jump into the Red Sox fans in
the last twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Well, but you mentioned it right there, twenty five years, right,
this is twenty five years.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
That's who people are, you know. They jump on the
Boston wagon.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
They jump on the Yankee wagon, the Laker wagon, the
Cowboy wagon, the packer wagon, whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
So it kind of is becoming old half for me.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I don't think people actually realize how nasty Blue Jays
fans are.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
They are nasty people, really, and I think Canadians. Well,
because they're Canadians.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
They're Canada's team, right, And so everybody in a large
part of Canada, not everybody, but a large part of
Canada roots for Toronto. And when you're sitting up there
freezing your balls off for three hundred and forty days
a year, you make a kind of cuckoo as well.
By the way, they are gnarly nasty people. I hear
some nasty stuff on social media. I see some nasty stuff.
I hear some gnarly stuff from the stands when I
(07:39):
go to Blue Jay fans games. And I tell you what, man,
Boston they put people in the stadium for the series
with Boston, not like Toronto. Toronto is a totally different animal, man.
I mean, Boston feels like maybe it's a fifty to
fifty split with Mariner fans Toronto when they come to town.
And by the way, I'm already getting messages from people
that are downtown outside the stadium saying there's way too
(08:01):
many Blue Jay fans.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Now it still is the same, and it it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I get that, but it feels like a Blue Jay
frickin home game, like like there's no debate that it's
a home game.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
So I'm going with Toronto f those people. Why don't
the Mariners just put the tariffs on the tickets? They should,
they should, Jackson solve the tire.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
You know why the Red Sox have the worst fan
base because they are fans from other cities that have
no connection to Boston and no connection to the Red Sox,
who because they came back, and they because they were
a because they were all the lovable losers who haven't
won in eighty six years, and then because they won
to oh four, Oh they're they're not even more lovable
(08:42):
because they're winners. But those people are from Linnwood, Tuckwilla,
wherever around here that you can name every single suburb
of Seattle, relatives from Boston.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Everybody's got relatives from somewhere. Sure, but we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I think there's a lot of a large, large number
of people who don't even have the connection. You are
just Red Sox because oh the Mariners, thinking I want
to root for a good team, Ronald, you know, I
don't like those people, so Red Sox fans that aren't
even Boston related people.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
That's why you have the worst fan base.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I think we're gonna have to just keep it here
and keep going here we are because we're so late
for this thing anyway. So let's get to the next
matchup Oregon Duck fans versus Portland Timper fans. Okay, So
I will jump in here and I will just say
this that there is a subspecies if human, that I
(09:38):
was not even aware existed until I went to Eugene,
Oregon on a regular basis.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
And I think this. I think that if you struggle to.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Envision a scenario where humanity survives down the road, survives
like you know, I don't know, an annibomb or some
kind of.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Nuclear attack or some kind of alien attack.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I don't know what Oregon fans are made of, but
they have the d in their bodies like cockroaches to
survive whatever is thrown at them.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
And I don't know if I've ever been more turned off,
disgusted by a fan base or even a human being
that I have Oregon fans. And I would just admit
this right now. I have hatred in my heart for
a lot of things. Oregon fans are number one at
the top of the list. Most of these people that
go on social media and talk smack about UDB and
Oregon don't even have the freaking balls to use their
(10:26):
name on social media. That's the difference between maybe Oregon
fans and Cougar fans, maybe other fan bases. They're too
scared to even put their name behind their freaking title,
and then they get mad, but you don't engage. Well,
why aren't you engaging with lizard lips ducked forty Because
I'm not even sure if that's a human being or
a robot, to be honest with you. So when you
start off, by the way, as a coward on social
(10:49):
media and don't even have the guts to put your
name on the drivel that you're writing on Twitter, that's
number one and then number two. This is a fan
base that believes they should be considered among the elite
of college football's royalty. Well, to be considered among the
elite of college football's royalty, there's one thing they gotta
do that you haven't done. That's when a damn freaking
national championship, you realize that we just managed to make
(11:11):
a pope to put.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
An American into the head of the Vatican.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Before Oregon won a national title, The question of what
will happen.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
First, and America becomes Pope.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
The Oregon wins a national championship has been answered, and
it's the freaking Pope.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
How are these people?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I don't care how old they are, I don't care
where their background is, I don't care what they do
for a living. I don't care if they help me
or hurt me. Every single one of them can rot,
every single one.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
So I'm going with or Jackson.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, you know, there's so much overlapping between the Oregon
Ducks and the large little people and listen, like having
been to a bunch of games at the Timbers Stadium,
like those fans, they're they're pretty sick people. But here's
one of the maybe my biggest pet peeve with fan bases,
and probably the number one category I'm going with when
(12:01):
voting in this bracket. It's fan bases who talk ish
and then don't back it up with anything that they've
ever won. The Portland Timbers have been to three championship
games since twenty fifteen. They have a championship that they
won in fifteen. They can talk their stuff because they
actually have trophies to back it up.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
They've done stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The Oregon Ducks haven't done jack, you know what, And
they still talk like they've won a national title. They
still talk like they've done things that the Huskies have done.
Guess what you haven't. So guess what, Oregon Duck fans,
you are the worst fan base because at least, unlike
the Timbers, you don't have any trophies to back up
the stuff you're talking.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well, here's the thing, and so it's Oregon, right, which
is great because we do a break here, we're massively late.
That's the one thing I think that pisses them off
the most that we can hang over their heads totally
that they've never won the national title. So why do
you think I was almost orgasmic when Ohio State kicked
their asses. Yeah, one thing that we have left on them.
(13:01):
Guess what, dick, we still have it.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
We still hot. It was a great New Year's Day,
wasn't it hot? That was a hell of a New
Year's Day? Man, unbelievable. I was on the golf course,
kept checking the score. One is this real?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
So this is awesome? Oregon, Gonzaga, and Boston are moving
on in the most Annoying fan Base bracket. We'll get
to our eight to one matchup, which is the Niners
versus the Yankees get to the second round and crowned champ.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Next on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
On casting live from the R and R Foundation Specialist
Broadcast Studio. Now back to Saftie and Dig powered by
Emerald Queen Casino, the Vetti and Capital of the Northwest.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
On Sports Radio and Naties three point three.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
kJ R FM.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
All right, the Bracket Friday segment continues here fan bases
that we hate the most. Gonzaga has moved on defeating
Washington State in the first round. The Boston Red Sox
have moved on to the Toronto Blue Jays in the
first round. The Oregon Ducks have moved on defeating the
Portland Timbers fans in the first round. That brings us
(14:07):
to our one eight matchup. Yankees defeated Cowboy fans in
the play in game. So with San Francisco versus the
Yankees the one versus eight seed to see who moves
on to face Skinzaga.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
In the semi final. Dick Fame go ahead.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
Well, I mean, if it's just overall fan bases, I
think the Yankees are worse. But this is the poll,
is what fan base pisses us off the most, right,
and that's got to be the Niners. I mean, there
are rivals, there are version of Oregon in the NFL,
and their fan base is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, just
(14:44):
look at nine or eight he leads of just a
following of minions that are just blake.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Talk about not winning anything. My god, I mean, it's
so awesome. There are two rivals as haven't one squat
in thirty years. I mean, that is just spectacular. So
give me the Niner fans. It was thirty one years ago.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
They won their last championship, right when Steve Young beat
the Chargers, correct, I believe in in ninety four. So yeah,
I mean I just look, if you would have asked
the nine to ten, fifteen, even twenty year old, maybe
twenty five year old Softy, I probably would have said
the Yankees because I got personal experience. I got plucked
in the head by a nine year old girl when
(15:27):
I was at Yankee Stadium, oh about twenty five years ago,
just came up behind me and smacked me right in
the back of the head, wearing a Mariner shirt.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
With my dad.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I've been to a ton of Yankee I've not been
in the new Park, by the way, but the old
Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Been there a ton of times.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
My dad, you guys know, is from from Flushing, from Queens,
so I've got a lot of family back in New
York and I've been to a ton of Yankee games.
And they're they're freaking exactly what they're made to be.
They're Neanderthals, these people, okay, and they they haven't seen.
They have maybe the highest expectation of any fan base
in sports, even more so than Alabama.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
I mean, twenty seven championships will do that to a
fan base.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
And they are gnarly and they are raised at a
young age to be cocky and arrogant, and I experienced
that firsthand. But you know, those days for me are
kind of over right because the Mariners and Yankees, let's.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Face it, haven't had a real rivalry for twenty five
years half my life. Kind of like Gonzagon, you.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Done well because the Huskies keep getting their ass kicked
by it, and the the Niners.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
You mentioned Niner night.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Okay, this is how much I got completely annoyed by
Niner eight. I'm gonna show you something on my cell
phone here, Okay, and you tell me what this says.
This is Niner Nate's profile.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
What is that right there? Unblock caller?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
He's been blocked on my phone for two years. I
had enough of the guy, all right. Now, I block
people on Twitter. I don't block a lot of people
from having my phone number unless it's one of those
folks that got my number one. I gave it out
on accidents, right, I had enough of him. He kept
he was after a game four o'clock. He would just
text me, suck on this. I'm like, dude, get the
(17:03):
hell out of my phone. I had to block the guy,
all right. That's how annoying they are. And again nine
or eight is one of those dudes that's the epitome
of what you're talking about. He's never seen a championship
in his lifetime. Yeah, he acts like you've seen twenty
of them. So I'm going San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
We gotta we gotta pick up the pace a lot here.
So let me just say Niners three zero, let's go
move on, all right?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Okay, So let's go with the Boston Red Sox versus
the Oregon Ducks three versus two.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I mean to me, it's easy. It's Oregon all day long.
It's Oregon slam duck.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
All right, Oregon moves on. Gonzaga versus the forty nine ers, Jackson,
you want to jump in.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Here, Ah, this one's a little bit closer. I think
it all comes back to the fact that for forty
nine ers, I just it's it's such an annoyance. But
like in terms of the hate, like I hate when
somebody thinks that they're just rationally better than us. And listen,
has Gonzaga won a national championship? They have not, So
(18:02):
why do they I was about to say, you, but
why do Gonzaga fans act like they've won a national championship?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I don't think they've They act like a national championship.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
They they act like they're one of the top five
programs in America, which they have been over the last
twenty years.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
So at least the forty nine ers have won something
at some point. But anyway, regardless, I am going to
so barely forty nine ers, but it is, but it
is closer, just because I hate how they have Gonzaga
fans act like they have won a national title.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Okay, so we got we got Oregon already moving on
in one in one semi to the title game. Right now,
we got the Gonzaga Bulldogs and the forty nine er
fan base.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Jackson has selected Gonzaga.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
No, I've sect to the forty nine ers.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Forty nine ers, Okay, go ahead to go. This is
not even debatable.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Come on, the forty nine ers are our biggest rival.
They talk smack every single year to what do Gonzaga
fans ever do to you? They don't talk about the
Husky fans at all, so you don't deal with I.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Was gonna say time out just a second. You you
you really want me to answer that question? Yes, what
do they do to me?
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Well?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
What did you to you? Because you bring it on yourself.
You're the Draymon Green. You are the Draymond Green.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
Of antagonizing Gonzaga. So that's why they bring it on you.
Okay you want to go that road, Yes, go that road.
You're the Benedict Arnold a Husky fans. How's that sound?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
You're a freaking turncoat. And I gotta sit here on
anybody gotta sit here and look at you and deal
with you every single flipping day. You know my passion
for it's never waivered, you ever asked me a question.
You asked me, Jackson, He asked me, what have they
ever done to me? What have they done to me?
And make me sit with him on every freaking day?
(19:44):
That's what you made me do every damn day. I
gotta deal with this nonsense. Looking at a supposed Husky
fan who roots is like like crazy fre Gonzaga and
he has the gall Jackson to tell me, well, I
don't really root for him, not hard really, because when
they beat U. C. L A, You and Dixon, we're
crying like four year olds on social media? Are you
kidding me? Okay, so you're taking the Niners right, of course?
(20:06):
All right, So Niners in Oregon are obviously into the championship. Now,
so let's go San Francisco versus the good title. This
is a good title.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
I think that that Niner fans are arrogant. I think
many of them are inappropriate. However, Oregon fans take inappropriateness
to an entirely new level. I've never seen I've never
been treated in a stadium the way I'm treated at
(20:37):
in that stadium. And I've been as I've been a
road fan, I've been as a Seahawk fan, and a
Husky fan, Sonic fan to many many road environments. Nobody
treats you like then, Like you mentioned the Neanderthals at
Oddston Stadium, and that's exactly what they are. And when
you walk outside going back to your car, and you
just pass miles and miles of trailers with people in
(21:00):
their homes because that's where they live. In the parking
lot of outs and stadium, they bring their home with
them to the game and they're swearing at you.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
God, it's it's unbelievab all right, So di'x going Oregon, Jackson,
go ahead.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Once again, My number one criteria for this entire bracket
was if you talk stuff and you can't back it
up with anything. And like for young Niner fans like
nine or n eight and people my age, like you
clearly don't have anything to talk because you haven't won
anything in thirty years, but at least you do have
a long period where you were the best team in
(21:32):
the National Football League. Once again, Oregon, you haven't won,
jack squat, so shut up saying that you have all.
We've done so much and we've done this, and that
you haven't won a national title. Your logo is the
number of national titles you've won. You don't get to
talk smack about anything until you've won one, and by far,
(21:55):
just the way they act and also something like they
do travel like they I mentioned invading places, they do
invade and I hate that part as well.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
So you're going with Oregon Oregon? Okay, so Oregon is
the winner, but safety, I know, please cook please. What
I would just say is that you mentioned the zero
on their helmets, which you guys know is sign language
for a vaginant you know, yes, I do, which for
some Oregon fans is.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
The closest you'll ever get to it.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Well, okay, I'm just telling you right now, so you
may as well just enjoy that looking at it, because
you're never gonna get to it. And I think, like,
I don't know how much we can say on the
air and how much we can't say on the air.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Uh, you know pussy cats, right?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
You know?
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I mean, can I say that on the air? Jackson?
Is that okay?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
As long as you include cats.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I think I don't know if there's a fan base
in football and a fan base in sports that is
full of more cowards than Oregon is. Because my block
list on social media, And I'll be honest with you,
I don't block a lot of people anymore, Dick.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I just mute them, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
It kind of seems like it's more satisfactory to mute
versus block. My block list is about eight hundred users long,
and I would say ninety five percent of them are
Oregon fans who don't have the balls to use their
real name on social media. I mean, it is unbelievable
how many cowards exist in that fan base.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
And I still see them, by the way, on social media.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I got one guy or gal or thing I don't
even know what it is, and it who continues to
create another Twitter account to come after me, and I
keep blocking them or muting them over in all the worlds.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Because it's obvious.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
It's like they're saying the same things and using the
same verbiage and the same the same personality.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
So I mean that at least Niner fans have the guts.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I mean, Niner fans, will you know, stick a shake
in your neck when you walk through their stadium parking
a lot, obviously, especially Giants San Giant fans by the way,
Oh my god, with the Dodgers, crazy people, Okay, Niner fans.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
I think the difference for me is I've observed the
people that I engage with. I know who they are.
Oregon fans I have no idea who they are.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Honestly, I mean, they could be in prison just getting
their five minutes of computer time that week. I I
have no idea what these people hide behind their handles.
I see a lot of cowards on social media. And
it's also personal, right because they're three hundred miles away.
They're in the Pacific Northwest, easy to get to, easy
for them to come up here when they invade Husky Stadium.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
It pisses me off man every single time.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
And the other thing about Oregon fans that drive me
nuts is what do Oregon fans say time and time
again about that ninety one National Championship split?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
No, Well, that and you're living in the past thirty
four years ago?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Really, so how come every time I go to Austin
Stadium I see the highlight of Kenny Wheaton scoring a
touchdown twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Years ago in a regular season Why as well?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
If we are living in the past, then why do
I continue to see that play that's now thirty years old?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
At least ours is a title from Perfect Season.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Okay, so you take your living in the past and
shove it up your ass, because that's all I see
when I go to your ratten fested dump of a park.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
We're gonna break Mia Hammond.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
You guys may know that name, goalkeeper for the the
U UP soccer team, is fighting a incredibly rare form
of kidney cancer. We're gonna talk to her and get
her story and ask how we can help. Next on
ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Broadcasting live from the R and R Foundation specialist broad
Jest Studio. Now back to Softie and Dick powered by
Emerald Queen Casino, the vetty and capital of the Northwest
on Sports Radio nineties three point three kjr FF.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
All Right, boys and girls, we're back on a Friday
night right here on ninety three to three KJRFM from
Cheney Stadium in Tacoma, getting ready for the Rainiers and
Rivercats at seven o five doors a flung open. The
fans are moving into the park as we speak here
on ninety three three KJRFM. But we're going away from
baseball for a second because joining us right now on
the radio show, one of the best goalkeepers in women's
(25:48):
college soccer, and when I say that, I really mean that.
She had an eight eighty two save percentage last year,
which was the third lowest in the country. She's also
an academic, all dish strict student off the pitch as well,
but now she's in the fight of her life. You
may have heard about this on social media. We wanted
to get her on to hear her story and have
(26:09):
her talk to us and say hello. From the Husky
women's soccer team. Goalkeeper Mia Hammond is with us on
the show. Mia, Happy Friday.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
What's going on? Not much?
Speaker 5 (26:19):
I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yeah, Well, we're excited to have you on the air.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Before we talk soccer and before we get to everything
happening with your favorite sports, give people an idea of
what your life is like now, right. I mean, you
have the rain game earlier this year, you go to Spain,
I believe you were on that trip as well, and
then you come home and you get some news about
an aggressive form of kidney cancer and everything kind of
(26:45):
just gets put on hold. So tell us about what
your life is like now, what it's been like the
last couple of months for you since your diagnosis.
Speaker 9 (26:53):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
It's been a crazy few past months. Yeah, about two
months ago, filling pretty ill, I had a really bad cough,
and like you said, I went to Spain and I
fell ill in Spain as well, and we were just
kind of confused. We thought it was like an infection
or something. But I came back and then one morning
I was just having a lot of chest pains, just
like shortness of breath, and so I ended up going
(27:17):
to the hospital where we later found out that I
had this kidney cancer that happened over the span of
a few weeks. But I got chemo my first time
a chemo a few weeks ago, and before that I
was just really in bad shape. I wasn't doing well.
But now I feel better than ever. I sound great,
I feel great. My friends had said, I have color
(27:38):
back in my face. So yeah, it's been a great
few weeks after chemos. So really happy about that.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Well, And you always seem to look at the bright side.
You obviously got a great level of optimism about you.
How about battling this disease. Maybe in the best place
in the country to win the battle over this disease.
I mean, this is the place you want to be
if you're sick in Seattle, right, Yeah, you did.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Medicine has been great, Fred hutch has been great even
before on like treatment. All the doctors are just saying
how great of hands I'm in, And that has just
been really reassuring because obviously, like I'm not a doctor,
I don't really know what's going on, but just to
hear that I'm having the best doctors take care of
me and look after me, and everyone behind the scenes
has also been pushing for me to get the best
care possible. It just makes me feel really loved and
just makes you feel like I can beat this even
(28:23):
more than I always believe I can.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Well, Mea Hammond's again from the uw women's soccer team,
is fighting an aggressive form of kidney cancer. We're going
to help get the word out for the go fund
me fundraiser in just a moment. But you mentioned something there,
MEA that I've heard now from a couple of people
today kind of getting ready for the interview, that you
don't really know what's going on, and it's almost like
that that ignorance is on purpose, that you don't want
(28:47):
to know what's going on, like your parents know more
than you do.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
There's a lot of people out there that are.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Currently fighting cancer, right, millions of people that are fighting this,
and they might hear you and hear you're a pro
and wonder why you're doing it the way you're doing.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
It and why you want to be kept in the
dark about some stuff.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
M h Yeah, Honestly it started as it just stems
from fear of knowing, because no twenty year old expects
to just have this cancer diagnosis much less like like
when you're in twenty you feel invincible.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
And especially a student awathte as well, like if I
could play talk or I could do anything like that's
just my mindset. So just like it comes from a
place of fear and not knowing you're invisible anymore. But
it's like a known thing at my appointments now that
I just want to hear the synopsis here all like
the just the general news, and then I'm out for
the details. I cannot know because if I know more details,
(29:43):
if I know the survival rate, anything, I just I
just feel like that just diminishes my hope and diminishes
my optimism. And the funny thing for me too is
I didn't know what stage cancer I had until the
good fund Me came out because in a little blurb
it says I have stage four cancer that I had
no idea, So even that was a shock after a
few weeks of just having this diagnosis. So Alsie has
(30:04):
helped me a lot. And if I would recommend anything
to someone who's going through this, if not knowing would
help you, then it works for me. So yeah, that's
what I have to say.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
Well, Mia, you tweeted this week you said the love
and support I've already seen has been surreal. Can you
tell us a story, give us an anecdote. You know
what has really touched you. Is there a moment or
something that someone did for you.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Yeah, well it started with big will fund me and
like I post on Instagram just kind of announcing this,
and this one girl from you to have reached out
to me, and it is like I'm a college student
as well, Like I have just got diagnosis past December,
and I've been fighting for the fighting this and it's
just like it's really isolating just not being around a
(30:46):
lot of people my age who have dealt with this
and like had personal experiences and stuff. Because you, like
I said before, no two year old expects to get
this diagnosis. So just like all the personal anecdotes I've
heard from people who I don't even know and whatnot,
that has been amazing. And then also the support from
the softball community and the sports community in general, especially
in college athletics, has been outstanding. Like the softball team
(31:09):
put orange ruins in their hair for me, that was amazing,
I know, idea that was happening. So just little things
like that are just really meaningful for me.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Well, Mia Hammond's again from the U Deep soccer team,
is with us on the air, and I mean, look me,
I'll be honest with you. I found out about what
was going on with you through social media, right, I mean,
it's just been unbelievable that just groundswellow support. And we
just got done doing a little contest on the air
to pick the most annoying fan base of all time,
and the Oregon Duck fans won, by the way, just
(31:37):
so you know, a full disclosure, right, But you've even
got you've even got Oregon fans that are coming to
your defense. And I mean, did you notice that that
you've got Oregon people helping to raise money for you.
The go fund me is over ninety seven thousand dollars already,
and fans of teams that are supposed to be rivals
(31:59):
are coming to hurt you.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I mean, what is that?
Speaker 9 (32:01):
Just?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I hope that you're able to log on to social
media and see this stuff. Miah.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Yeah, no, one hundred percent. So many teams who will
be compete against in the past have just been reaching out.
Oregon Soccer. I have close connections with them too. Unfortunately
we're rivals, but they've been super nice and supportive. It's
just insane. Like I said, the community, especially the soft community,
is so tight knit. The team we actually lost to
in the NCAA tournament, their team has been reaching out
(32:27):
to me. A lot of their players that I've played
against and competed against just having reaching out to me.
Like it's like it's extending their support and whatnot. And
that's just insane that it's gone that far. And like
you said, yeah, it's just it's just crazy that our
rivals are supporting me. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
I'm going to ask you to do something tough now.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
I want you to pat yourself on the back, which
I'm sure is probably not not easy for you to do.
But the Seattle Times article that was out yesterday said
that your teammates say that you inspire them on the field,
and I don't think they were really referring to like
your illness. They were just referring to you as a person,
as a teammate. What about your nature inspires your team?
Speaker 5 (33:09):
I think recently it's been my optimism. I think it's
helped a lot having my friends like behind me and stuff,
and then I think we just kind of feed off
each other. That's a hugely about our team culture. We
just like to pick each other up, and that's something
that they've definitely been doing for me. They've been really
supportive throughout this whole thing. I think my optimism is
also helping them have faith in me, because it's not
(33:30):
helpful when everyone's just like negative and just everyone's just
so sad and like down about everything, because that's just
not gonna help everyone. So I think the fact that
everyone's super super positive and supportive of each other, picking
each other up on and off the field, I think
has been huge in this whole situation.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Well, Mia Hammet again is with us. You're gonna beat this.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
You know that, right one nd percent. I have complete
total faith.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Absolutely, we are, we are. We are pulling for you
big time. You're gonna beat this like you beat Iowa
in the last year with those three penalties shootouts.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I remember that game.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
How cool was that for you to be a part
of that in me to talk about you're one of
the Big ten because we talked so much about you know,
basketball team and the football team, but you guys kicked
ass and you're one of the big ten.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Tell me about that.
Speaker 9 (34:17):
Yeah, the Big Town was crazy.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
That was not only as my first year playing, but
it's also our first year traveling to so many different
places and playing all these new teams. And honestly, like
my team really got me through that. Like I there's
a quote in the Seattle Times, like I think it's
like if I'll do my job, if you do your job.
That was like the main basis of the Iowa game,
Like I'll be my part if you do your part.
(34:40):
And that was just kind of like the mottel of
the whole season as well. Like I feel like we,
like I said before, we just carry each other. And
like after traveling so many weeks in a road to
so many far places, like a lot of teams would
get sick of each other, but my team did not.
We step with the touches the whole way through, and
that game just shows like we could do hard things
like we were going to push through so much adverse,
(35:00):
like traveling all the way over there, playing throughout later
your time time into Pelly Kicks leg. I can not
ask for a better team and better support for that game.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
I love it. Well.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
We just put a link out to the go fund
me fundraiser on my Twitter account at softy kJ Are
you just you just sent me something on Instagram And
I have no idea how this works on IG by
the way, so I got to figure it out. But
me has got a Twitter or a IG account at
mea kicks cancer if you want to give her a
follow on Instagram, if you want to check out the
go fund me fundraiser on my Twitter account at softy kjar.
(35:36):
That are over ninety seven thousand dollars already, which is
just unbelievable. So hey, go kick this thing's ass, all right,
and we'll talk down the road. Appreciate you doing. Thank you,
mester to luck all right, We're thinking about you.
Speaker 9 (35:47):
Of course, Thank you so much, you guys, It's been great.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
That's awesome, Mia Hammonton Again, the way people have rallied
on social media to support her has been really really
really cool.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
So on her attitude, yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Who knows to everybody, by the way, who's been a
part of this and uh and helping them proper up
because it's been pretty cool to see.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
All Right, we're gonna break
