Speaker 2 (00:06):
I don't know what your thing you want to start,
Let's just start go ahead, because I'm looking for my
my proper to drop here to kind of dress up
the segment.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
If you know how about this? This is a good one.
Okay today Richard Lee Faine Senior and Geraldine Faane Okay,
fifty five years. I've been married five fifty five years? Congratulations?

Oh your parents were married when they were six years old?
Speaker 5 (00:28):

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah, correct, I'm almost think my dad was thirty.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Is this an arranged thing? Is that what we're talking
about here? For God's sake? Well, that's pretty cool, very
very cool. I mean, hell of Geane and I are.
We're coming up on Oh my god? You ever do
this and forget how long I've been married for Oh.
I always gets the worst. I always have to think,
what year is this? Is this twenty twenty five? Okay,
so this will be our sixteenth anniversary? I always shit alive?
Is it sixteen?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Is it bad that I forget if I was married
in No. Seven or eight?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
You were married?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well, oh, you know, you don't remember the career of
your wedding. Yeah you should know that seven eighteen oh nine.
I can tell you that I think I'm yeah, I'm
O seven. The problem with me is that, just like you,
there was well we're not talking about that, uh, But
the problem with me is that Gina and I have
been living together since two thousand and four. Okay, we
(01:14):
have at a place in Ballard, right down the street
from the radio station. So we've been baying when you
move in with somebody, you're married, all right, And we've
been living together for twenty.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
One years, for crying out loud.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
So when I say we've been married for sixteen years,
really has been married for twenty one years. So the
fact I want credit for that, Okay, I think if
you move in with somebody, the merite starts right there
and right then I want credit, damn.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It for the extra years.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yes, hell yes.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
If I'm gonna live, you're somebody. And if somebody's gonna
live with me and have to put up with all
of this, genus should be getting credit for living.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
She should get tenure like a professor at a university,
and right she should hell yeah, Well, I would like
to congratulate these Seattle Mariners on a unbelievable accomplishment here.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well, I was looking it up that they have gone
from three and a half games out or excuse me,
three and a half games up to four and a
half games out.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
That is an eight game swing overall total.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And how took them nineteen games to do it, which
is an improvement over the thirteen. Last year it took
them thirteen games to drop eight games in the standings,
and this year they were able to manage to extend
it to nineteen. So what you're getting it done?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
We love you.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
What is our level for excitement for the upcoming series?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
What was that your You're Mike's breaking.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I'm more excited.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I'm more excited for the finals game tonight. I'm more
excited for the Stanley Cup Finals. I'm more excited for
our stupid ass bracket we're doing at five o'clock tonight
right here, the Radio US Open. Yeah, there's a lot
of things. I'm more excited for some odd Taylor. I'm
more excited to take a break and get this booger
out of my nose than i am the Maritors series
with the Guardians this week. I mean, look, obviously, the
beauty of baseballs, it doesn't take a lot. You know,
(02:59):
you six games at home against the Guardians in Red Sox,
and I got a rule. You want to suck the
way they've sucked for the last month or so. You
want to go from three and a half games up
on May twenty third to four and a half games
out on June thirteenth, that's fine. Then you know what
you owe me? Go win six in a row starting tonight.
Go in six in a row. That's the beauty of baseball.
We can change the entire narrative in one week. Dick, Absolutely,
(03:21):
you win.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You even if you go five and one against Cleveland Boston,
which is not out of the realm of possibility, if
you actually get the pitching that we thought that we.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Had, right, I wouldn't bet on it, but I wouldn't
bet on it either.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
But then you look back and say, oh, well, you
know what, we're like six and six of our last wall.
That's not terrible, right.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
We're mediocre. Hey, raise the flag.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
They're a real baseball mediocre flag that we can raise.
But that but that's the point is that they can
listen in this business.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Okay, I'm not hi, how are you?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I don't want to I'm telling you this is how
it ends. Just what happened to Stoft the eyes dead.
He died on the air during the three o'clock segment.
I don't want to speak for you or Jackson, but
you guys Jackson both chime in right that in this business,
ninety nine percent of what we do for a living
is reactionary.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Every now and then you got to dig deep and
come up with a fun topic for people to talk about,
but it's still reactionary based on what that topic is about.
Like today, like freak exactly like today. Coming up on
the radio show, we have a bracket with our favorite
uh sports moments non Seattle sports moments right of the
last twenty five.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Years now favorite unforgettable and forgot to.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Forget it right, So we got like Lebron and the decision,
for example, we got the Cubs breaking the curse, we
got Covid stopping the NBA, we got Messi winning the
World Cup, Boise State, Oklahoma, Patriot comeback versus Atlanta Red
Sox come back against the Yankees.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
You get the point.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And why are we picking all those events because they
were unforgettable? Because they made them unforgettable? And what are
reacting to that being unforgettable and.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
What ties them into current events. Having we have a
potential sunity, an opportunity for the Thunder to go down
on finals, and we've got an opportunity potentially see the
best Stanley Cup finals we've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
And for me, it's more than it's more about the
basketball things.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I mean, if the Oilers win the Stanley Cup, that
will not be in the most unforgettable.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Four overtimes.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Not well, no, no, the Thunder being in there. I mean,
this is gonna be maybe even number one on the
list of all time great appreciations from the Pacific Northwest.
But the point is is that the Mariners listen to guys,
all we're doing is just sitting around and just letting
you guys drive the bus. You guys are driving the bus.
You guys are deciding what direction we go in. You're
deciding what our reaction is, you're deciding what our tone is.
(05:43):
You are the ones that are driving the bus, and
we're just dressing it up and presenting it on the air.
So we think that maybe people can be remotely entertained
for four hours a day, Monday through Friday on the
radio station. So don't don't give me this nonsense about well, no,
you're just a hater. No, the team is freaking terrible.
And when they're not terrible, we won't say they're terrible.
(06:03):
When they're playing well, we'll give them their kudos. When
they're playing well, we'll give them their due. When they're
kicking ass and they deserve to be complimented. Trust me,
nobody will kiss their asses more than us on this
radio station. But when they are terrible and they're sloppy
and they're lazy, and they're embarrassing themselves and they're blowing it,
we're gonna react to that as well. All we do, literally,
(06:25):
we are lemmings. Is what we do for a living.
We are professional parents. We sit here on the air
and just respond blah blah blah blah blah. Whatever people
throw at us. Whatever direction they take us, that's the
direction we go. And right now, the Mariners lately have
been taking us down the freaking gutter.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Well, and you know, my, my default, you always do
that every time Jackson and I start talking.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
To the movie anybody know what movie? For God?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Does that happen to you?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Jackson? To come on, guys, all right, da it's all.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
These days, just waveting you'll get a second eventually.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
What movie? Just what movie? You know what rhymes of fletch?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Hey, maybe fletch fletch lives? Okay, gotcha? Ah? What was
I say?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
My default is to, you know, go contrary to public opinion.
Right when something's like super negative, I usually try to
find the positive of what's going on. When something's like
uber pose, I'm like, okay, have you thought of this?
I can't do that here. The popular opinion is the
Mariners are playing bad baseball, and there's nothing that I
can look at other than that, you know, the little
(07:35):
the cal Raleys and the Matt Brashes and the JP like,
there's four or five guys that are playing good baseball,
but the twenty five man roster or whatever it is now,
it's bad baseball. It's not good offensive baseball. It's the
same offensive crap that we saw for most years with
Scott Servis. They have reverted to that. And then the
pitching has been not even mediocre. I mean, the bullpen
(07:58):
has been stretched. The starting road say, she hasn't been
nearly as good as what we thought it was gonna be.
Even with the injuries that guys aren't pitching. Well, I've
got I can't sit here and say, hey, guys, it's okay,
this is going well, this is going well.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
No, it's just not well. We should get Scott's service
on the radio show. You think you'd do it? He
got you want to come on the air with it?
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Are you serious with that question, Cody?
Speaker 4 (08:20):
You don't think Jackson, there's any chance you do it.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
No, I do.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Got to hand it to the Mariners, I really do,
because they had me so invested, like forty one days ago, like.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I was so said, that's slow, so I can find
that's what you're doing to me to try to.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
It was that soon ago that I was fully invested,
fully on board, And damn it, guys, with the NBA Finals,
NHL Stanley Cup Final, and everything else going on, I
think I'm back to apathy.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, you got the World Cup going on.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
It's because of everything else going on right now in
the sports world. It's it's just it all came together
where the marriage decided to suck this badly at the
same time as everything else happening.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
So you know what, it.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Took forty one days, forty one yards, but damn.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
It, narrators, I'm back to Hapathy Goode.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
So you know, people will say things to me like
you got to be even keel during a baseball season.
You can't get too high, you can't get too low,
to which then I would ask you, then why do
I pay attention? Honestly? Like why am I watching? Why
am I going to games? Why am I sitting in traffic?
Why am I devoting three and a half hours a day?
If you're going to tell me, hey, don't really have
an opinion on this, just watch, but don't have an
opinion now.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
But you're right about covering up the first fifty games
of the season.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
You're right about we're past that again.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I just think that they they can drive this, and
I would just tell them the same thing that we
told Brian Schmetzer when he was on the air with
us on Tuesday of this week, about what our message
would be to that soccer team after what happened against
Vancouver for the weekend that you embarrassed yourself.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
You went up there and you.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Played a half assed team that had half their roster,
and you embarrassed yourself and you look like you just
woke up out of bed in Canada and thought we
could just put our shitting guards on, show up, brush
our teeth, wipe bartushies, go to the game and win
and not even try, and you embarrassed yourself. And I
would just ask the Mariners, you know, what is this
that you're looking for?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
You know?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I mean, does Jerry Depoto want to be known as
the general manager when they do these GM parties and
they get together and Boca Raton or whatever and they
have little you know, river cruises with ex MLB executives,
does he want to see people in.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
The corner gathering around, going I feel that guy that's
the guy that wasted all that pitching in Seattle back
in the day. That's the guy that's win with Logan
Gilbert and George Kirby and Bryce Miller and Brian wu
That's the guy that couldn't take Kyle Rally and Julio
Ritez to the playoffs. That guy over there. Does he
want to be that guy? Is that what you want? Honestly?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Like, do these hitters want to be the guys that
waste this rotation? Once they're healthy and obviously now they're not,
But once they are healthy and they're coming back already
pissed it away a year ago. Do they want to
piss it away again this year? Is that the legacy
that you guys want to leave in this town. Look,
I mean, I'm not doubting that you're playing hard, right,
Nobody is sitting around doubting your work ethic or your
effort or any of that stuff, because I believe that
(11:15):
that's pretty heavy criticism. And if you say something like
that on the air, you better damn will have proof
that somebody is loafing it or they're not working hard enough,
or they're not putting in the requisite effort behind the
scenes to be a better player. But something is off.
And if this team is playing as good as they
can play, then there's a problem with the front office.
Then Jerry to Poto needs to be held accountable. So
(11:36):
I mean, again, it's just the same tired ass conversation
we have every single fricking year. But again, congratulations, because
you pissed away eight games of the standings, and you
did it in nineteen games this year. Last year it
was thirteen. Meaning next year when they piss away eight games,
it'll take twenty five.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
That's right, Okay, you've got a twenty four million dollar
man on the mound tonight that's just got.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
To shove it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Ye, he has just got to shove it today. I mean,
whether or not Luis Castillo is your quote unquote ace anymore,
I bet you he believes he's the ace of the staff.
And he got roughed up for three home runs six
runs in five innings the last time he took them out.
He needs to go out there and give you seven
strong one run Yeah, give hand that two to one
(12:18):
or three to one lead to the welf.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
And here's the reason why he has to do that.
Because the offense is bad. That's right, why he's got
to That's exactly right. But again it's just like, hey,
it's it's not fair, it's it's not right. Uh you know,
it's starting pitcher. I mean, there's a reason why Bill
James says a quality start at six innings three runs
with this offense and the way they're playing right now,
six innings and three runs doesn't seem like it's good enough.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
They've got to be they've got to be.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Dominant, and they've got to be dominant in almost every
start they make.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
And look, I mean, Luis Castillo.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
The thing about him is that, for as much as
I'm happy he's still here, what's his ZRA it's barely
over three, that's right. Yeah, I think he's in the
top fifteen to twenty in baseball. He's your number five
guy when everybody is healthy. On paper, he's your number
five guy. Talent wise, he's her number five guy. Gilbert Kirby,
wo and Miller I think have surpassed him as far
as ability, mostly because they're half his age, right, which
(13:07):
is incredible.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Fifth most talented start.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Which is phenomenal, all right, I mean, I mean teams
would cut their you know what's off right, the little
wooden PEPs in Greece with the bttle opener they haven't
seen I'll.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Show you they would. They would. They would die, to literally.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Die to have this kind of rotation when healthy, Well,
a guy like Luis Castillo on the back end of it.
So the fact that we are now asking Luis Castillo
to go out there and act like a number one
starter against you know, look, I mean a decent team.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Cleveland's not having a phenomena or.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
They're not terrible obviously a couple of games over, but
he should be able to handle them, gets the match
up at home all that stuff, so we'll see. But again,
the point is going back to the original couple of
minutes of the show. Here the Mariners, guys, we're just
gonna follow your lead on this one, all right. We're
gonna follow your lead every single day, every single show,
(14:00):
every single year.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
We're gonna follow your leads.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
So give me credile and credits you want.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
You want people on the air fired up and uh,
you know, breathing fire and spitting blood for Marin or baseball,
uh and begging for tickets, then go out and just
prove that.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Go out and show that you deserve that, because so
far you haven't done it. No, there's no question at all.
And this this Guardian team is it's nothing. It's a
minus fourteen run differential.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Guess what you are?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
A minus fourteen run They're the same baseball team. You
gotta go and take care of these teams that have
been at your level or worse than your level, which
is most of the teams you've seen over the last
three weeks, and they haven't done the jobs.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Ewis Castillo's eighteenth in the American League and era by
the way sign. Yeah, I mean good and he's only
four and four right, good job off. Wow, that's Felix
or named for you. I mean, good on. Good on
him for doing what he's been doing. All right, So
here's what we got three eighteen. Uh, we're going to
us open up day from Oakmont in a second. Some
odd Taylor's down here with the Rainiers. I think he's
gonna hop on the show with us sometime in the
four o'clock hour. We're gonna move our bracket. The most
(14:57):
unforgettable non Seattle sports moments. Who's the Is it Edna
James that did the unforgettable?
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Or is it somebody else?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Maybe it's not the one? Yeah, I mean I did.
Those songs have been redone by so many people. I
don't know who was won, but get me that tune.
The most unforgettable non Seattle sports moments of this century
and Jackson the bracket that I'm looking at on Twitter.
Is this the actual bracket? It's the one Okay, So
I mean, I'm gonna tell you right now, I think
the one seed is way too high. I mean David
(15:29):
Tyree's helmet catch and the Super Bowl against the Patriots
for the Giants was an unbelievable play. I would not
put that number one overall, Not over the decision by Lebron,
not over Kobe dying, not over Tiger Woods winning the
twenty nineteen Masters.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
No to me at at Max.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
It's a four seed, so I already think we had
seeding problems with this thing, but we got twelve different events.
We'll come back and talk about him. We're gonna vote
on him as well. At the five o'clock. We're gonna
put Hugh on the year at four. Get his thoughts
on Seahawk medi Camp kind of recapping that whole thing.
Cooper Cups saying, Hey, it's kind of weird having a
new playbook after eight years, So what's the challenge look
(16:08):
like for him? Christian Hamines is playing center the other day.

Least the all time last fair that's just said on
warranted random shot, legitimate shot.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Oh god, I mean she.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Is very good at a lot of things. Jackson carrying
a tune is not one of the most unforgettable non
Seattle sports moments of this century. In honor of what
the Pacers could potentially be doing to the Oklahoma City Thunder,
in honor of what the Ohio State Buckeyes did to
the Oregon Ducks and the Rose Bowl earlier this year,
and that is not on the list because the earlier
(19:29):
the bracket that we did a few weeks ago was
the our favorite non Seattle sports moment of all time.
Team right, team like yeah, like yeah, like the one like.
We love that Auburn team that beat Darren Thomas. We
loved the Buckeye team that beat the piss out of
Oregon and.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
The Rose Bowl. I love the Heat team that beat,
the thunder, all that.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Stuff, right, this is the most unforgettable non Seattle sports
moment of the century. And I'm just gonna read you
the we've got We've got twelve of them. Okay, maybe
we're missing something and he was in chime in go ahead,
David Tyree's helmet catch of the suit, Super Bowl, Tiger Woods,
winning the Masters in twenty nineteen, Kobe Bryant passing away
in the helicopter crash, Vince Young and the Texas USC
(20:07):
Rose Bowl, Lebron James and the block in the finals,
by the way, against the thunder?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Is that right? Against Golden State?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Sorry, Lebron James, the decision when he went on TV
instead on taking my talents to South Beach And there
was that audible gasp in the background from the Boys
and Girls Club in Connecticut. Red Sox come back against
the Yankees in the ALCS, Cubs breaking the hundred and
eight year old curse and winning the World Series. COVID
stopping the NBA, which was thunder Utah?
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Thunder?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Thunder Utah? Rudy Gobert right for Utah? Right, COVID stops
the NBA. Leonel Messi wins the World Cup for Argentina
is on the list. Boise State beats Oklahoma, and the
Fiesta Bowl and the Patriots come back from down. What
twenty eight to three is that right against the Falcons
in the Super Bowl? Are all on there, and we've
already got some controversy. I think David Tyree's overseeded number one,
(21:00):
number two. We're also getting some people on social media
that are mad that we're putting Kobe Bryant passing away
in there.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
How is that a sports moment? You want to respond
to that?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Well, he's a one of the most famous athletes of
our generation, and he passed away suddenly in a horrific
helicopter craft and we all remember where we were. I
think that's the Dictionary definition of unforgettable.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Well, let me ask you this. When people think of
lou Garrig and the speech today today, today, I consider
myself it's the most unforgettable lou Garrig moment, one of
the most unforgettable baseball moments we played over and over
and over again because it involves Luke Garrigg, who's a
freaking athlete.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
What? He's the most unforgettable moment about Roberto Clemente that
he died.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
With three thousand hits. Correct, So Jackson, you want to respond.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
To that, Yeah, I think people are mistaking unforgettable with
like favorite or great. Like unforgettable, We're literally talking about
moments that are seared into your brain, like you remember
where you were, you remember what the situation was when
something happened, and it just it seared in your brain.
One of those moments of it's you know, and it
applies to outside of sports too, is when something just
(22:10):
happens in life that you're like, oh my god, these
are the sports moments we're trying to go for here
that you remember all, I remember where I was when
this happened. That doesn't mean it's a great or good
or fun moment. It's even COVID stopping the NBA game
that literally it halted the world. I mean that was
that was an obviously think about them people who died
from COVID, Like you look, can be mad about the
(22:31):
Kobe crash, but like if you're gonna be mad about
including like a death related thing in this bracket, they'd
be more mad about COVID being in this bracket than Kobe.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Well, I mean, it just involves one of the great
athletes ever in the history of the NBA.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Yeah, and he died at the age of forty one.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I mean if honestly, if he had been eighty five
and died of natural causes, right, probably would have been
you know, maybe a little more forgettable if you will,
of course, but at the age of forty one, and
you're exactly right, something that you remember where you were
for the rest of your life and you'll never forget it.
That is the Dictionary definition of unforgettable. And if it
involves an athlete, then it involves sports. Doesn't need to
(23:08):
be a game or a competition. Do you remember where
you were when the Mariners or the report came out
that Ken Griffyd Junior was going.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
To re sign and come back to Seattle.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yes, after you spent that time with Chicago, I remember
exactly where I was. I was sitting on my desk
and I called my dad started crying. That's got nothing
to do with a game. That's got everything to do
with an athlete and in a moment, in an unforgettable
sports moment involving a sports figure coming back to town.
So yeah, it doesn't need to be a game to qualify.
(23:37):
And number two, it doesn't need to be, as you said, Jackson,
a happy or even a positive moment. I mean, hell,
how many times this Time magazine named some of the
biggest you villains in the history of the world as
their Person of the Year because of the impact they
had on society, whether positive or negative. Right, So I think,
I mean the moments themselves, I'm fine with. I just
think that Tiger Wood's winning the Masters, Kobe Bryant dying
(24:01):
in a helicopter crash, and then Decision in whatever order
you want to me, those are the most three unforgettable
moments of the last twenty five I think those three.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I think this is the hardest one to seed that
we've ever known. Yeah, definitely, I mean, I I just
there's just no edge. Now, I will say that the
most unforgettable moment in college basketball since not on there
the Lorenzo Charles was playing game.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
It was your playing game.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
It is yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Yeah, So Chris jan Chris Jenkins shot lost out in
a Twitter vote that was a by the way, a blowout.
It was like seventy seventy six, twenty four percent. Oh,
we get it right, we did the Cubs breaking the
one hundred year curse be out the Villanova Chris Jenkins
winner seventy six to twenty four blowout.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, I just I would vote for the Cubs over that.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I would vote for the Cubs over that too. But
how about like Boise State, this is a great game,
but it wasn't a championship.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
But again, I think that's one of those things where
like Jackson said, you do you remember where you were?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I remember where it was and both of those, right, Well.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Do more people remember where they were for Boise State?
Or do more people remember where they were North Carolina?
Speaker 4 (25:14):
It was?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
It was Carolina? Right, I'm off Carolina. Jim Dance on
the call, Disney.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Lost five hundred bucks to Doug Doing.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I mean, yeah, I just I just think in the end,
you've you've put it perfectly, Jackson, You'll you'll never forget
where you were and the decision, I mean, my god.
And look, these will be different for different people, obviously,
But being home watching that broadcast, I remember it was
in my old house up in I think it was
Mill Creek, and I'm watching this thing, going are you
(25:41):
kidding me? And the crowd was stunned and there was
I remember that? Like we should play it like you
could hear a gasp in the background when he announced
he was going to Miami. So we'll do this coming up.
We'll vote on these at five o'clock tonight. A little
fun with audio next on ninety three three kJ RFM.
Speaker 6 (25:59):

Speaker 6 (26:27):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Dick? We started.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
At a press conference yesterday, Cowboys head coach former Seahawk
o see Brian Schottenheimer talked about Father's Day coming up
on Sunday and how he remembers his father and former
NFL coach Marty Schottenheimer who passed away in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I know he's proud. I miss him. I would tell
him that I used all the life lessons that he
taught me, not just about football, but about life and
being a good man and a good husband and good father.
And I'm doing okay for myself. But I know he's proud.
I miss him like crazy. Actually lean on some of
(27:02):
his friends now, you know, guys like Bill Cower. You
know that that he, you know, coached with and but
Father's Day will be a special day, obviously, a father
of two amazing kids. And I'll talk to my mom
and I know he's looking down on me, but I
appreciate you making me get teared up. You know, up
here the last day Mini camp, I was.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Gonna say, geez, I mean we've started with something else.
For God's sakes, Well what I mean, what are you
to do now?
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Holy crap, guys, give me a box of clean for
crying out loud and brace the emotion.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Geez the hell?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Or do you want to leave everybody crying as we
go to break inside?
Speaker 4 (27:39):
And yes, I do you'd rather do that?
Speaker 8 (27:41):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Okay, yes, yes, my.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
God, I mean that's like okay, I mean, I great
quote from him, great speech from Brian. That was very touching,
very very touching. I don't know how else to respond
to that. Yeah, totally honest, I really don't tell you,
my god. All right, Hey, jack Dick, did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (27:59):
I'm gonna start, Hey, Jackson, jappy to hear that?
Speaker 6 (28:01):
What's what's that?
Speaker 8 (28:02):
Dick?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Thank you? What's next? Good Lord?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Before Game three of the NBA Finals on Wednesday, the
NBA TV pregame show featured Charles Barkley and Candace Parker,
who debated the most the post matchup strategies between Oklahoma
City and Indiana in the series.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
So if Pascal Siakam can get.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Those closeouts drive, if.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
You know all of that you talk about, Myles Turner
can get those close out and drives.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Man, those pictures just kissed me off even more right there.
He gonna let shake get down the guard hill.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Get out of here.
Speaker 8 (28:35):
They baited, They put a little muchkin on his ass
in the post and he dribbling ten times. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
And also he can't do that.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Come on, man, if they're right there.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Right there, block a show.
Speaker 8 (28:52):
My god, you gotta be kidding me. Come on, man,
don't let that little do guard you in the post.
Stop at Candace. And secondly, Miles Turner. He's got little
skin and ched Holgerm on him and he's dancing out
there the three point line. Take your big ass in
the post.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Who's he talking about guarding SGA in the post? Who's
he talking about for the Pacers?
Speaker 4 (29:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
No, he said, he said, he said to SGA, don't
let that little guy guard you in the post.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Who's he talking about? Who's the player?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Well, whoever it is should not be guarding SGA in
the post and getting away with it. I totally agree
with Charles Barkley on that. And then number two, you
know what they sound like by the way, A Mary,
Yes they do. That's what they sound so very very
much so.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
No, I mean, Oklahoma City has done a lot of
bad things defensively, but then they're talking about what Indiana
is doing defensively. That was after the Indiana loss.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
All right, hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Dick Wednesday on? First?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Take Stephen A. Smith at ESPN Hockey analys PK SUBBN.
We're debating which sport has the best athletes. That conversation
inevitably led to Lebron James, where the guys had this exchange.
Speaker 9 (29:53):
When you talk about pure athleticism, I'm gonna go to
round in the basketball play what requires the.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
More scale.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Skate.
Speaker 9 (30:06):
I get that putting the ball in the hole compare
to playing tennis, compare playing hockey. Yeah, but in terms
of that, I think hockey and tennis is more about scale.
I think basketball is about skill and it's about athleticism.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
Absolutely not forty five second shifts.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Molly.
Speaker 10 (30:22):
What I'm saying with hockey is it encompasses all of
the things, in my opinion, to be a great athlete.
Speaker 11 (30:29):
Let's do this, Let's do this thought experience. Is it
more likely that NHL players could play in the NBA
or NBA players could play in the NHL.
Speaker 10 (30:40):
It's not even I'm saying discussion. If we take every
basketball player, football player, baseball player, boxer, no matter how
tough they are, no matter how athletic they are, and
we put them on skates, it'll take it could take
you a lifetime to learn to skate like me.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
So my sense is this, and I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
How we do the if you took the NBA guy
put them in the NHL or NHL we're talking about
the highest level of that sport. What if you just
took a bunch of hockey players and said go play
a pickup basketball game somewhere? Would they they would think? Okay,
what if you took a bunch of NBA players and
said go play a pickup hockey game. But the question
is what would look worse? I think the NBA guys
(31:24):
would look worse.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I think one when you're simply the word was athleticism,
all right, And when I think athleticism, I think how
quick are your feet? How fast can you run? How
high can you jump? And to me, basketball players, yeah,
talking about the skill of skating and the toughness of
(31:46):
hockey players, and hockey players are great athletes. Basketball players,
in my opinion, along with football players, the height of
athleticism and major Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I think I think you'd have a harder time getting
NBA players to look presentable on a on a on
a rink then you would get a players to get
presentable on a basketball court, because it way more difficult.
But I'm even saying just skating, well, that's part of it. Though, Dick,
I mean, you can't just think hockey.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Players are better athletes than basketball I.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
I don't know. I don't know. I think there's a
debate to be had.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I'd love to hear more about both sides, to be
totally honest with you. I mean, just because you can
see basketball players and you can't really see hockey players.
I mean, for those guys to move through the ice
and a h A and a uh a line of
defense the way they do and contort their body on
ice skates, I think that's.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Really really hard to do. I think it's very hard
to do. I think you're.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Underestimating how damn hard that is to do and to
control your body. So again I did, and this doesn't
prove anything. I just think that if you took a
bunch of NBA players and said, hey, go play hockey,
I think they would look like buffoons, absolute buffoons. If
you took hockey players and said go play a five
on five basketball game, because if they're already built to
(33:00):
athleticism and the fact that a lot of them may
have played basketball anyway as kids, I think they'd look
a lot more presentable in my opinion. But hey, it's
a great question, loves questions. Yeah, well, you know what.
We only have him for one segment though, man, so
we got to hit a lot of stuff Seahawk medi Camp, recap,
NBA Finals and more. Coming up with you a little
more at four with him on ninety three three KJRFM
Where we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I think we should pass along some messages of congratulations, got.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
One as well.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I don't know what your thing you want to start,
Let's just start go ahead, because I'm looking for my
my proper to drop here to kind of dress up
the segment.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
If you know how about this? This is a good one.
Okay today Richard Lee Faine Senior and Geraldine Faane Okay,
fifty five years. I've been married five fifty five years? Congratulations?
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Oh your parents were married when they were six years old?
Speaker 5 (00:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah, correct, I'm almost think my dad was thirty.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Is this an arranged thing? Is that what we're talking
about here? For God's sake? Well, that's pretty cool, very
very cool. I mean, hell of Geane and I are.
We're coming up on Oh my god? You ever do
this and forget how long I've been married for Oh.
I always gets the worst. I always have to think,
what year is this? Is this twenty twenty five? Okay,
so this will be our sixteenth anniversary? I always shit alive?
Is it sixteen?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Is it bad that I forget if I was married
in No. Seven or eight?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
You were married?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well, oh, you know, you don't remember the career of
your wedding. Yeah you should know that seven eighteen oh nine.
I can tell you that I think I'm yeah, I'm
O seven. The problem with me is that, just like you,
there was well we're not talking about that, uh, But
the problem with me is that Gina and I have
been living together since two thousand and four. Okay, we
(01:14):
have at a place in Ballard, right down the street
from the radio station. So we've been baying when you
move in with somebody, you're married, all right, And we've
been living together for twenty.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
One years, for crying out loud.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
So when I say we've been married for sixteen years,
really has been married for twenty one years. So the
fact I want credit for that, Okay, I think if
you move in with somebody, the merite starts right there
and right then I want credit, damn.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It for the extra years.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yes, hell yes.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
If I'm gonna live, you're somebody. And if somebody's gonna
live with me and have to put up with all
of this, genus should be getting credit for living.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
She should get tenure like a professor at a university,
and right she should hell yeah, Well, I would like
to congratulate these Seattle Mariners on a unbelievable accomplishment here.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well, I was looking it up that they have gone
from three and a half games out or excuse me,
three and a half games up to four and a
half games out.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
That is an eight game swing overall total.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And how took them nineteen games to do it, which
is an improvement over the thirteen. Last year it took
them thirteen games to drop eight games in the standings,
and this year they were able to manage to extend
it to nineteen. So what you're getting it done?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
We love you.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
What is our level for excitement for the upcoming series?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
What was that your You're Mike's breaking.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I'm more excited.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I'm more excited for the finals game tonight. I'm more
excited for the Stanley Cup Finals. I'm more excited for
our stupid ass bracket we're doing at five o'clock tonight
right here, the Radio US Open. Yeah, there's a lot
of things. I'm more excited for some odd Taylor. I'm
more excited to take a break and get this booger
out of my nose than i am the Maritors series
with the Guardians this week. I mean, look, obviously, the
beauty of baseballs, it doesn't take a lot. You know,
(02:59):
you six games at home against the Guardians in Red Sox,
and I got a rule. You want to suck the
way they've sucked for the last month or so. You
want to go from three and a half games up
on May twenty third to four and a half games
out on June thirteenth, that's fine. Then you know what
you owe me? Go win six in a row starting tonight.
Go in six in a row. That's the beauty of baseball.
We can change the entire narrative in one week. Dick, Absolutely,
(03:21):
you win.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You even if you go five and one against Cleveland Boston,
which is not out of the realm of possibility, if
you actually get the pitching that we thought that we.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Had, right, I wouldn't bet on it, but I wouldn't
bet on it either.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
But then you look back and say, oh, well, you
know what, we're like six and six of our last wall.
That's not terrible, right.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
We're mediocre. Hey, raise the flag.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
They're a real baseball mediocre flag that we can raise.
But that but that's the point is that they can
listen in this business.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Okay, I'm not hi, how are you?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I don't want to I'm telling you this is how
it ends. Just what happened to Stoft the eyes dead.
He died on the air during the three o'clock segment.
I don't want to speak for you or Jackson, but
you guys Jackson both chime in right that in this business,
ninety nine percent of what we do for a living
is reactionary.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Every now and then you got to dig deep and
come up with a fun topic for people to talk about,
but it's still reactionary based on what that topic is about.
Like today, like freak exactly like today. Coming up on
the radio show, we have a bracket with our favorite
uh sports moments non Seattle sports moments right of the
last twenty five.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Years now favorite unforgettable and forgot to.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Forget it right, So we got like Lebron and the decision,
for example, we got the Cubs breaking the curse, we
got Covid stopping the NBA, we got Messi winning the
World Cup, Boise State, Oklahoma, Patriot comeback versus Atlanta Red
Sox come back against the Yankees.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
You get the point.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And why are we picking all those events because they
were unforgettable? Because they made them unforgettable? And what are
reacting to that being unforgettable and.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
What ties them into current events. Having we have a
potential sunity, an opportunity for the Thunder to go down
on finals, and we've got an opportunity potentially see the
best Stanley Cup finals we've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
And for me, it's more than it's more about the
basketball things.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I mean, if the Oilers win the Stanley Cup, that
will not be in the most unforgettable.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Four overtimes.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Not well, no, no, the Thunder being in there. I mean,
this is gonna be maybe even number one on the
list of all time great appreciations from the Pacific Northwest.
But the point is is that the Mariners listen to guys,
all we're doing is just sitting around and just letting
you guys drive the bus. You guys are driving the bus.
You guys are deciding what direction we go in. You're
deciding what our reaction is, you're deciding what our tone is.
(05:43):
You are the ones that are driving the bus, and
we're just dressing it up and presenting it on the air.
So we think that maybe people can be remotely entertained
for four hours a day, Monday through Friday on the
radio station. So don't don't give me this nonsense about well, no,
you're just a hater. No, the team is freaking terrible.
And when they're not terrible, we won't say they're terrible.
(06:03):
When they're playing well, we'll give them their kudos. When
they're playing well, we'll give them their due. When they're
kicking ass and they deserve to be complimented. Trust me,
nobody will kiss their asses more than us on this
radio station. But when they are terrible and they're sloppy
and they're lazy, and they're embarrassing themselves and they're blowing it,
we're gonna react to that as well. All we do, literally,
(06:25):
we are lemmings. Is what we do for a living.
We are professional parents. We sit here on the air
and just respond blah blah blah blah blah. Whatever people
throw at us. Whatever direction they take us, that's the
direction we go. And right now, the Mariners lately have
been taking us down the freaking gutter.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Well, and you know, my, my default, you always do
that every time Jackson and I start talking.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
To the movie anybody know what movie? For God?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Does that happen to you?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Jackson? To come on, guys, all right, da it's all.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
These days, just waveting you'll get a second eventually.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
What movie? Just what movie? You know what rhymes of fletch?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Hey, maybe fletch fletch lives? Okay, gotcha? Ah? What was
I say?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
My default is to, you know, go contrary to public opinion.
Right when something's like super negative, I usually try to
find the positive of what's going on. When something's like
uber pose, I'm like, okay, have you thought of this?
I can't do that here. The popular opinion is the
Mariners are playing bad baseball, and there's nothing that I
can look at other than that, you know, the little
(07:35):
the cal Raleys and the Matt Brashes and the JP like,
there's four or five guys that are playing good baseball,
but the twenty five man roster or whatever it is now,
it's bad baseball. It's not good offensive baseball. It's the
same offensive crap that we saw for most years with
Scott Servis. They have reverted to that. And then the
pitching has been not even mediocre. I mean, the bullpen
(07:58):
has been stretched. The starting road say, she hasn't been
nearly as good as what we thought it was gonna be.
Even with the injuries that guys aren't pitching. Well, I've
got I can't sit here and say, hey, guys, it's okay,
this is going well, this is going well.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
No, it's just not well. We should get Scott's service
on the radio show. You think you'd do it? He
got you want to come on the air with it?
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Are you serious with that question, Cody?
Speaker 4 (08:20):
You don't think Jackson, there's any chance you do it.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
No, I do.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Got to hand it to the Mariners, I really do,
because they had me so invested, like forty one days ago, like.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I was so said, that's slow, so I can find
that's what you're doing to me to try to.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
It was that soon ago that I was fully invested,
fully on board, And damn it, guys, with the NBA Finals,
NHL Stanley Cup Final, and everything else going on, I
think I'm back to apathy.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, you got the World Cup going on.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
It's because of everything else going on right now in
the sports world. It's it's just it all came together
where the marriage decided to suck this badly at the
same time as everything else happening.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
So you know what, it.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Took forty one days, forty one yards, but damn.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
It, narrators, I'm back to Hapathy Goode.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
So you know, people will say things to me like
you got to be even keel during a baseball season.
You can't get too high, you can't get too low,
to which then I would ask you, then why do
I pay attention? Honestly? Like why am I watching? Why
am I going to games? Why am I sitting in traffic?
Why am I devoting three and a half hours a day?
If you're going to tell me, hey, don't really have
an opinion on this, just watch, but don't have an
opinion now.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
But you're right about covering up the first fifty games
of the season.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
You're right about we're past that again.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I just think that they they can drive this, and
I would just tell them the same thing that we
told Brian Schmetzer when he was on the air with
us on Tuesday of this week, about what our message
would be to that soccer team after what happened against
Vancouver for the weekend that you embarrassed yourself.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
You went up there and you.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Played a half assed team that had half their roster,
and you embarrassed yourself and you look like you just
woke up out of bed in Canada and thought we
could just put our shitting guards on, show up, brush
our teeth, wipe bartushies, go to the game and win
and not even try, and you embarrassed yourself. And I
would just ask the Mariners, you know, what is this
that you're looking for?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
You know?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I mean, does Jerry Depoto want to be known as
the general manager when they do these GM parties and
they get together and Boca Raton or whatever and they
have little you know, river cruises with ex MLB executives,
does he want to see people in.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
The corner gathering around, going I feel that guy that's
the guy that wasted all that pitching in Seattle back
in the day. That's the guy that's win with Logan
Gilbert and George Kirby and Bryce Miller and Brian wu
That's the guy that couldn't take Kyle Rally and Julio
Ritez to the playoffs. That guy over there. Does he
want to be that guy? Is that what you want? Honestly?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Like, do these hitters want to be the guys that
waste this rotation? Once they're healthy and obviously now they're not,
But once they are healthy and they're coming back already
pissed it away a year ago. Do they want to
piss it away again this year? Is that the legacy
that you guys want to leave in this town. Look,
I mean, I'm not doubting that you're playing hard, right,
Nobody is sitting around doubting your work ethic or your
effort or any of that stuff, because I believe that
(11:15):
that's pretty heavy criticism. And if you say something like
that on the air, you better damn will have proof
that somebody is loafing it or they're not working hard enough,
or they're not putting in the requisite effort behind the
scenes to be a better player. But something is off.
And if this team is playing as good as they
can play, then there's a problem with the front office.
Then Jerry to Poto needs to be held accountable. So
(11:36):
I mean, again, it's just the same tired ass conversation
we have every single fricking year. But again, congratulations, because
you pissed away eight games of the standings, and you
did it in nineteen games this year. Last year it
was thirteen. Meaning next year when they piss away eight games,
it'll take twenty five.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
That's right, Okay, you've got a twenty four million dollar
man on the mound tonight that's just got.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
To shove it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Ye, he has just got to shove it today. I mean,
whether or not Luis Castillo is your quote unquote ace anymore,
I bet you he believes he's the ace of the staff.
And he got roughed up for three home runs six
runs in five innings the last time he took them out.
He needs to go out there and give you seven
strong one run Yeah, give hand that two to one
(12:18):
or three to one lead to the welf.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
And here's the reason why he has to do that.
Because the offense is bad. That's right, why he's got
to That's exactly right. But again it's just like, hey,
it's it's not fair, it's it's not right. Uh you know,
it's starting pitcher. I mean, there's a reason why Bill
James says a quality start at six innings three runs
with this offense and the way they're playing right now,
six innings and three runs doesn't seem like it's good enough.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
They've got to be they've got to be.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Dominant, and they've got to be dominant in almost every
start they make.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
And look, I mean, Luis Castillo.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
The thing about him is that, for as much as
I'm happy he's still here, what's his ZRA it's barely
over three, that's right. Yeah, I think he's in the
top fifteen to twenty in baseball. He's your number five
guy when everybody is healthy. On paper, he's your number
five guy. Talent wise, he's her number five guy. Gilbert Kirby,
wo and Miller I think have surpassed him as far
as ability, mostly because they're half his age, right, which
(13:07):
is incredible.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Fifth most talented start.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Which is phenomenal, all right, I mean, I mean teams
would cut their you know what's off right, the little
wooden PEPs in Greece with the bttle opener they haven't
seen I'll.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Show you they would. They would. They would die, to literally.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Die to have this kind of rotation when healthy, Well,
a guy like Luis Castillo on the back end of it.
So the fact that we are now asking Luis Castillo
to go out there and act like a number one
starter against you know, look, I mean a decent team.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Cleveland's not having a phenomena or.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
They're not terrible obviously a couple of games over, but
he should be able to handle them, gets the match
up at home all that stuff, so we'll see. But again,
the point is going back to the original couple of
minutes of the show. Here the Mariners, guys, we're just
gonna follow your lead on this one, all right. We're
gonna follow your lead every single day, every single show,
(14:00):
every single year.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
We're gonna follow your leads.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
So give me credile and credits you want.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
You want people on the air fired up and uh,
you know, breathing fire and spitting blood for Marin or baseball,
uh and begging for tickets, then go out and just
prove that.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Go out and show that you deserve that, because so
far you haven't done it. No, there's no question at all.
And this this Guardian team is it's nothing. It's a
minus fourteen run differential.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Guess what you are?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
A minus fourteen run They're the same baseball team. You
gotta go and take care of these teams that have
been at your level or worse than your level, which
is most of the teams you've seen over the last
three weeks, and they haven't done the jobs.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Ewis Castillo's eighteenth in the American League and era by
the way sign. Yeah, I mean good and he's only
four and four right, good job off. Wow, that's Felix
or named for you. I mean, good on. Good on
him for doing what he's been doing. All right, So
here's what we got three eighteen. Uh, we're going to
us open up day from Oakmont in a second. Some
odd Taylor's down here with the Rainiers. I think he's
gonna hop on the show with us sometime in the
four o'clock hour. We're gonna move our bracket. The most
(14:57):
unforgettable non Seattle sports moments. Who's the Is it Edna
James that did the unforgettable?
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Or is it somebody else?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Maybe it's not the one? Yeah, I mean I did.
Those songs have been redone by so many people. I
don't know who was won, but get me that tune.
The most unforgettable non Seattle sports moments of this century
and Jackson the bracket that I'm looking at on Twitter.
Is this the actual bracket? It's the one Okay, So
I mean, I'm gonna tell you right now, I think
the one seed is way too high. I mean David
(15:29):
Tyree's helmet catch and the Super Bowl against the Patriots
for the Giants was an unbelievable play. I would not
put that number one overall, Not over the decision by Lebron,
not over Kobe dying, not over Tiger Woods winning the
twenty nineteen Masters.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
No to me at at Max.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
It's a four seed, so I already think we had
seeding problems with this thing, but we got twelve different events.
We'll come back and talk about him. We're gonna vote
on him as well. At the five o'clock. We're gonna
put Hugh on the year at four. Get his thoughts
on Seahawk medi Camp kind of recapping that whole thing.
Cooper Cups saying, Hey, it's kind of weird having a
new playbook after eight years, So what's the challenge look

Speaker 4 (17:32):
They won't let you do the game on radio. I mean,
are these people idiots. Honestly run this thing.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
My god, man, come on, but they you know what,

Speaker 4 (18:40):
Three two and one unforgetable? That's what you are. That
was awful. Wow, that was so terrible.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
That is holding the tune.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I don't know, you want to separate that. If at
least we're here, we'd say it was at.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Least the all time last fair that's just said on
warranted random shot, legitimate shot.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Oh god, I mean she.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Is very good at a lot of things. Jackson carrying
a tune is not one of the most unforgettable non
Seattle sports moments of this century. In honor of what
the Pacers could potentially be doing to the Oklahoma City Thunder,
in honor of what the Ohio State Buckeyes did to
the Oregon Ducks and the Rose Bowl earlier this year,
and that is not on the list because the earlier
(19:29):
the bracket that we did a few weeks ago was
the our favorite non Seattle sports moment of all time.
Team right, team like yeah, like yeah, like the one like.
We love that Auburn team that beat Darren Thomas. We
loved the Buckeye team that beat the piss out of
Oregon and.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
The Rose Bowl. I love the Heat team that beat,
the thunder, all that.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Stuff, right, this is the most unforgettable non Seattle sports
moment of the century. And I'm just gonna read you
the we've got We've got twelve of them. Okay, maybe
we're missing something and he was in chime in go ahead,
David Tyree's helmet catch of the suit, Super Bowl, Tiger Woods,
winning the Masters in twenty nineteen, Kobe Bryant passing away
in the helicopter crash, Vince Young and the Texas USC
(20:07):
Rose Bowl, Lebron James and the block in the finals,
by the way, against the thunder?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Is that right? Against Golden State?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Sorry, Lebron James, the decision when he went on TV
instead on taking my talents to South Beach And there
was that audible gasp in the background from the Boys
and Girls Club in Connecticut. Red Sox come back against
the Yankees in the ALCS, Cubs breaking the hundred and
eight year old curse and winning the World Series. COVID
stopping the NBA, which was thunder Utah?
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Thunder?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Thunder Utah? Rudy Gobert right for Utah? Right, COVID stops
the NBA. Leonel Messi wins the World Cup for Argentina
is on the list. Boise State beats Oklahoma, and the
Fiesta Bowl and the Patriots come back from down. What
twenty eight to three is that right against the Falcons
in the Super Bowl? Are all on there, and we've
already got some controversy. I think David Tyree's overseeded number one,
(21:00):
number two. We're also getting some people on social media
that are mad that we're putting Kobe Bryant passing away
in there.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
How is that a sports moment? You want to respond
to that?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Well, he's a one of the most famous athletes of
our generation, and he passed away suddenly in a horrific
helicopter craft and we all remember where we were. I
think that's the Dictionary definition of unforgettable.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Well, let me ask you this. When people think of
lou Garrig and the speech today today, today, I consider
myself it's the most unforgettable lou Garrig moment, one of
the most unforgettable baseball moments we played over and over
and over again because it involves Luke Garrigg, who's a
freaking athlete.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
What? He's the most unforgettable moment about Roberto Clemente that
he died.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
With three thousand hits. Correct, So Jackson, you want to respond.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
To that, Yeah, I think people are mistaking unforgettable with
like favorite or great. Like unforgettable, We're literally talking about
moments that are seared into your brain, like you remember
where you were, you remember what the situation was when
something happened, and it just it seared in your brain.
One of those moments of it's you know, and it
applies to outside of sports too, is when something just
(22:10):
happens in life that you're like, oh my god, these
are the sports moments we're trying to go for here
that you remember all, I remember where I was when
this happened. That doesn't mean it's a great or good
or fun moment. It's even COVID stopping the NBA game
that literally it halted the world. I mean that was
that was an obviously think about them people who died
from COVID, Like you look, can be mad about the
(22:31):
Kobe crash, but like if you're gonna be mad about
including like a death related thing in this bracket, they'd
be more mad about COVID being in this bracket than Kobe.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Well, I mean, it just involves one of the great
athletes ever in the history of the NBA.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Yeah, and he died at the age of forty one.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I mean if honestly, if he had been eighty five
and died of natural causes, right, probably would have been
you know, maybe a little more forgettable if you will,
of course, but at the age of forty one, and
you're exactly right, something that you remember where you were
for the rest of your life and you'll never forget it.
That is the Dictionary definition of unforgettable. And if it
involves an athlete, then it involves sports. Doesn't need to
(23:08):
be a game or a competition. Do you remember where
you were when the Mariners or the report came out
that Ken Griffyd Junior was going.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
To re sign and come back to Seattle.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yes, after you spent that time with Chicago, I remember
exactly where I was. I was sitting on my desk
and I called my dad started crying. That's got nothing
to do with a game. That's got everything to do
with an athlete and in a moment, in an unforgettable
sports moment involving a sports figure coming back to town.
So yeah, it doesn't need to be a game to qualify.
(23:37):
And number two, it doesn't need to be, as you said, Jackson,
a happy or even a positive moment. I mean, hell,
how many times this Time magazine named some of the
biggest you villains in the history of the world as
their Person of the Year because of the impact they
had on society, whether positive or negative. Right, So I think,
I mean the moments themselves, I'm fine with. I just
think that Tiger Wood's winning the Masters, Kobe Bryant dying
(24:01):
in a helicopter crash, and then Decision in whatever order
you want to me, those are the most three unforgettable
moments of the last twenty five I think those three.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I think this is the hardest one to seed that
we've ever known. Yeah, definitely, I mean, I I just
there's just no edge. Now, I will say that the
most unforgettable moment in college basketball since not on there
the Lorenzo Charles was playing game.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
It was your playing game.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
It is yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Yeah, So Chris jan Chris Jenkins shot lost out in
a Twitter vote that was a by the way, a blowout.
It was like seventy seventy six, twenty four percent. Oh,
we get it right, we did the Cubs breaking the
one hundred year curse be out the Villanova Chris Jenkins
winner seventy six to twenty four blowout.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, I just I would vote for the Cubs over that.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I would vote for the Cubs over that too. But
how about like Boise State, this is a great game,
but it wasn't a championship.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
But again, I think that's one of those things where
like Jackson said, you do you remember where you were?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I remember where it was and both of those, right, Well.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Do more people remember where they were for Boise State?
Or do more people remember where they were North Carolina?
Speaker 4 (25:14):
It was?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
It was Carolina? Right, I'm off Carolina. Jim Dance on
the call, Disney.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Lost five hundred bucks to Doug Doing.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I mean, yeah, I just I just think in the end,
you've you've put it perfectly, Jackson, You'll you'll never forget
where you were and the decision, I mean, my god.
And look, these will be different for different people, obviously,
But being home watching that broadcast, I remember it was
in my old house up in I think it was
Mill Creek, and I'm watching this thing, going are you
(25:41):
kidding me? And the crowd was stunned and there was
I remember that? Like we should play it like you
could hear a gasp in the background when he announced
he was going to Miami. So we'll do this coming up.
We'll vote on these at five o'clock tonight. A little
fun with audio next on ninety three three kJ RFM.
Speaker 6 (25:59):

g polling Star, Jimmy mister garoppolo. Now let's have some

Speaker 2 (26:28):
At a press conference yesterday, Cowboys head coach former Seahawk
o see Brian Schottenheimer talked about Father's Day coming up
on Sunday and how he remembers his father and former
NFL coach Marty Schottenheimer who passed away in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I know he's proud. I miss him. I would tell
him that I used all the life lessons that he
taught me, not just about football, but about life and
being a good man and a good husband and good father.
And I'm doing okay for myself. But I know he's proud.
I miss him like crazy. Actually lean on some of
(27:02):
his friends now, you know, guys like Bill Cower. You
know that that he, you know, coached with and but
Father's Day will be a special day, obviously, a father
of two amazing kids. And I'll talk to my mom
and I know he's looking down on me, but I
appreciate you making me get teared up. You know, up
here the last day Mini camp, I was.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Gonna say, geez, I mean we've started with something else.
For God's sakes, Well what I mean, what are you
to do now?
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Holy crap, guys, give me a box of clean for
crying out loud and brace the emotion.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Geez the hell?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Or do you want to leave everybody crying as we
go to break inside?
Speaker 4 (27:39):
And yes, I do you'd rather do that?
Speaker 8 (27:41):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Okay, yes, yes, my.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
God, I mean that's like okay, I mean, I great
quote from him, great speech from Brian. That was very touching,
very very touching. I don't know how else to respond
to that. Yeah, totally honest, I really don't tell you,
my god. All right, Hey, jack Dick, did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (27:59):
I'm gonna start, Hey, Jackson, jappy to hear that?
Speaker 6 (28:01):
What's what's that?
Speaker 8 (28:02):
Dick?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Thank you? What's next? Good Lord?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Before Game three of the NBA Finals on Wednesday, the
NBA TV pregame show featured Charles Barkley and Candace Parker,
who debated the most the post matchup strategies between Oklahoma
City and Indiana in the series.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
So if Pascal Siakam can get.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Those closeouts drive, if.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
You know all of that you talk about, Myles Turner
can get those close out and drives.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Man, those pictures just kissed me off even more right there.
He gonna let shake get down the guard hill.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Get out of here.
Speaker 8 (28:35):
They baited, They put a little muchkin on his ass
in the post and he dribbling ten times. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
And also he can't do that.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Come on, man, if they're right there.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Right there, block a show.
Speaker 8 (28:52):
My god, you gotta be kidding me. Come on, man,
don't let that little do guard you in the post.
Stop at Candace. And secondly, Miles Turner. He's got little
skin and ched Holgerm on him and he's dancing out
there the three point line. Take your big ass in
the post.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Who's he talking about guarding SGA in the post? Who's
he talking about for the Pacers?
Speaker 4 (29:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
No, he said, he said, he said to SGA, don't
let that little guy guard you in the post.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Who's he talking about? Who's the player?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Well, whoever it is should not be guarding SGA in
the post and getting away with it. I totally agree
with Charles Barkley on that. And then number two, you
know what they sound like by the way, A Mary,
Yes they do. That's what they sound so very very
much so.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
No, I mean, Oklahoma City has done a lot of
bad things defensively, but then they're talking about what Indiana
is doing defensively. That was after the Indiana loss.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
All right, hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Dick Wednesday on? First?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Take Stephen A. Smith at ESPN Hockey analys PK SUBBN.
We're debating which sport has the best athletes. That conversation
inevitably led to Lebron James, where the guys had this exchange.
Speaker 9 (29:53):
When you talk about pure athleticism, I'm gonna go to
round in the basketball play what requires the.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
More scale.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Skate.
Speaker 9 (30:06):
I get that putting the ball in the hole compare
to playing tennis, compare playing hockey. Yeah, but in terms
of that, I think hockey and tennis is more about scale.
I think basketball is about skill and it's about athleticism.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
Absolutely not forty five second shifts.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Molly.
Speaker 10 (30:22):
What I'm saying with hockey is it encompasses all of
the things, in my opinion, to be a great athlete.
Speaker 11 (30:29):
Let's do this, Let's do this thought experience. Is it
more likely that NHL players could play in the NBA
or NBA players could play in the NHL.
Speaker 10 (30:40):
It's not even I'm saying discussion. If we take every
basketball player, football player, baseball player, boxer, no matter how
tough they are, no matter how athletic they are, and
we put them on skates, it'll take it could take
you a lifetime to learn to skate like me.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
So my sense is this, and I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
How we do the if you took the NBA guy
put them in the NHL or NHL we're talking about
the highest level of that sport. What if you just
took a bunch of hockey players and said go play
a pickup basketball game somewhere? Would they they would think? Okay,
what if you took a bunch of NBA players and
said go play a pickup hockey game. But the question
is what would look worse? I think the NBA guys
(31:24):
would look worse.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I think one when you're simply the word was athleticism,
all right, And when I think athleticism, I think how
quick are your feet? How fast can you run? How
high can you jump? And to me, basketball players, yeah,
talking about the skill of skating and the toughness of
(31:46):
hockey players, and hockey players are great athletes. Basketball players,
in my opinion, along with football players, the height of
athleticism and major Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I think I think you'd have a harder time getting
NBA players to look presentable on a on a on
a rink then you would get a players to get
presentable on a basketball court, because it way more difficult.
But I'm even saying just skating, well, that's part of it. Though, Dick,
I mean, you can't just think hockey.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Players are better athletes than basketball I.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
I don't know. I don't know. I think there's a
debate to be had.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I'd love to hear more about both sides, to be
totally honest with you. I mean, just because you can
see basketball players and you can't really see hockey players.
I mean, for those guys to move through the ice
and a h A and a uh a line of
defense the way they do and contort their body on
ice skates, I think that's.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Really really hard to do. I think it's very hard
to do. I think you're.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Underestimating how damn hard that is to do and to
control your body. So again I did, and this doesn't
prove anything. I just think that if you took a
bunch of NBA players and said, hey, go play hockey,
I think they would look like buffoons, absolute buffoons. If
you took hockey players and said go play a five
on five basketball game, because if they're already built to
(33:00):
athleticism and the fact that a lot of them may
have played basketball anyway as kids, I think they'd look
a lot more presentable in my opinion. But hey, it's
a great question, loves questions. Yeah, well, you know what.
We only have him for one segment though, man, so
we got to hit a lot of stuff Seahawk medi Camp, recap,
NBA Finals and more. Coming up with you a little
more at four with him on ninety three three KJRFM
