Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Factor Fiction, at least the Ian Fernes version
(00:03):
of it coming up at two thirty five. This will
not count towards our standings because it's their pick and
we are making it on their behalf. It's like when
somebody goes up and accepts the oscar for somebody else. Right,
Jessamin McIntyre has already sent us in their official selection,
so we'll announce the pick for them at two thirty five,
and then we will have our shows official selection at
(00:24):
three thirty five on the show Factor Fiction, all brought

State Beef Commission Football Friday, proudly brought to you by

Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's what's for dinner? Whatever happened to the idea of.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
The gal bringing the case of dias and the nachos
and all that stuff down here last wonderful? Whatever happened
to that idea? Recipe of the week is the grilled steak, flatbread?
Where are those? Where's the telemore new? Where's all the stuff?
Where's the cores light?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
We do have San Juan Tulta out there.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
We do have san Juan Seltzer. That's it.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I mean, all the stuff that we say and do
on this radio station, what about what we should be
getting on this radio station. How can you force us
to go on the air and talk about whiskey, pizza
and beer and not have any.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Of it in the studio.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
It's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I'm boycotting it until I get fed jed fish in
the Huskies Dick tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Are you going, by the way, No, I'm not going tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
That's why Andres is doing the boat for me because
I am m seeing a Swim Across America event that morning,
and I'm doing a Storm game at night, and so
I wanted to have some semblance of energy for the
Storm game since I'm getting up at five thirty in
the morning.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
To do the first thing.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, no, that's why I just got Fubo. I just
got Fubo so I.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Can go home and prep for the Storm game while
I watch my brand new Big ten network on Fubo
and watch the game.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Well, I gotta be honest with you, man, I've had
Fubo for a week now, and I finally this morning
made the call to cut the cable. And it was
it was all, be honest with you, it was orgasmic
well done.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It was unbelievable. I can't wait for this. I mean,
it's really exciting.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I'm gonna play around with football all weekend long, and
then on Monday, I'm taking all that crap into the
Infinity store in South Center and just say, yeah, can
we share?
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Can we share all the money that you saved this morning?
I mean, it'thing, truly honestly incredible. I'm saving like two
hundred bucks a month now with everything total.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
It's unreal.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And it just felt exhilarating, like consumers don't have a
lot of power anymore over anything. And when I called
them up and I said I'm done, and it took
like five minutes, they canceled the whole thing and blah
blah blah, and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I just I just felt like I cleansed mics.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Were you on a contract with them?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
No? I was not.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I'm on a year contract for a better rate. So
I'm wondering if they're going to charge some like early exits.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So here's how that works. When you move.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
If you have Comcast TV Plus Internet I do, it
does not You do not have to pay any penalty.
If you keep Comcast Internet, you get rid of cable,
so you can get rid of the TV. But you say, hey,
just give me an Internet rate. There's no penalty.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So I so, for now, full disclosure, I'm keeping the
Internet with Exfinity for now, okay, but I might switch
out later. I just think I never knew feel this way.
You know, I never knew that I would have this
kind of reaction. Maybe you just talked it up for
so long that I just kind of like in the moment,
just lost my mind. But I was actually recording myself
(03:21):
as I made the call to comcass. You guys want
to hear it?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yes, yes, well I'll tell you.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I've been playing around with the Fubo app and it's
already ten thousand times better than the exit stream and they're.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Breaking the game. But I'm big ten again tomorrow if
you're a Husky fan, So now you get it. That's
why I had you can record the game. And I mean,
this one, isn't it amazing? How this was the straw
that broke the camel's back, This little stupid, little game,
nothing game against Weber States, and people just lost their minds.
I'm done because we were just waiting for because you've
(03:59):
been about doing this forever, like I mean, you're hanging
with a bunch of you know, millennials like Jackson whatever,
a bunch of made us feel like ridiculous old boobs.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
We got cable. This is awful.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
We're dinosaurs, and we were waiting for the one moment
to finally snap and cancel cable with comcasts. And this
was it. This was the one that put us over
the edge. And it wasn't that hard. I got through it.
I'm very proud of myself that I made the move.
I'm saving a lot of money. The principle I feel
like now I am in control. I'm the captain now.
(04:29):
Well yeah, because you can't.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Because you can cancel this at any time and go
to YouTube TV if you want it.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
So if the Mariner's flame out and root Sports goes
and that doesn't exist anymore and they're on a different network,
maybe I'll switch over to YouTube.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Who knows, I can do whatever I want. I'm in charge.
With Fubo.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
You are paying the as Dick. You should be too,
the ten dollars regional sports fee that just like comcasts,
that happens on Fubo.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So it's it's that's you know, the Root Sports.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Do I need the regional sports fee? I mean, do
I need?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Do I need Root sports now?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
And that's the thing at this moment, you do, but
right if you don't, YouTube TV doesn't have sports, and
that would be the thing. That's why I went to
Fubo is because I'm like, I need to watch the
Maritors a couple you know a few years ago, but
now you know, I told you I'm apathetic.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I'm off the train.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Only thing I don't get on Fubo is t N
T and TBS, but I get that with HBO masks right,
and so you get all the basketball tournament whatever, blah
blah blah. Fubo has got great cloud data with their
With their you can record the games. The playback speeds awesome.
I'm not endorsing Fubo. I mean, I guess I am,
but I'm not being paid by them. So I'm very
happy I made the move. Now we'll see him and
come back to me in a month and ask me.
(05:40):
But it's so far, I'm very very happy.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Red Zone is available on all right.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I gotta get your Scott Hansen, Jed Fish had a
chance to catch up with him yesterday a couple of
minutes with the coach of the Dogs, asking him, after
a week one going into the Weebird game, did they
make the progress that they were hoping to make?
Speaker 7 (05:57):
I would say Thursday, Thursday, we made in progress. We'll
see what Saturday looks like. Right. You don't really know
until you actually go out there and play. But I
would say we practiced better this Wednesday than we did
last Wednesday. And I would say that our ability to
recall and put the game plan together will certainly help us.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, not sure.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I remember an opener with so many different line combinations
that you guys had on Saturday.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Have you ever been a part of something like that?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
And how close are you to maybe woodland that down
to five guys.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
I don't think we're close to whittling it down. I
would say that we're going to continue to rotate upfront
for a while. We did that at Miami when I
was with Al Golden at University of Miami, and we've
done it. We did it at Michigan, and I don't
think there's a problem. I just think you just have
to figure out exactly who your best guys are and
(06:49):
who fits, and you know you don't need guys to
play tired if you can have somebody else that's the
same talent level, healthy and fresh.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
How did you grate out Will's game that he had
on Saturday?
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Good? I thought Will had a really good game.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I would say, you know, when you complete seventy six
percent of your passes, when you're averaging ten yards per attempt.
I don't know how much more he could have done
in the game, honestly, I mean, maybe hit one more pass.
I don't know, but uh, he only played three quarters.
We went up twenty eight nothing, and he he was
pretty successful.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Do you want to get Jeremiah hundred more involved?
Speaker 7 (07:24):
He yeah, I would say I want it to happen organically.
Speaker 8 (07:29):
I don't want to.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
We're not into forcing the ball to people.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
We don't go through this process of how do I
get him the ball to get him going. I think
that if he only completed fifty percent of our passes, maybe,
but if we're gonna stay at a seventy five to
eighty percent clip rate of completions, then I think organically
that will occur.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
A lot has been made about the forty four new
players that you've got, but Eastern's got fifty three new players.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Talking to Chris Creighton this.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Week, how do you prepare for a team with half
the roster being brand new?
Speaker 7 (07:59):
Yeah, you know, I think that that's maybe part of
college football. I hope in three years from now it's
not part of our college football. But in college football,
you're always gonna have twenty five or thirty new guys.
So I think the difference for US is forty four
of Mars or scholarship players plus another whatever walk ons
we have that are brand new as well. So you know, overall,
(08:20):
I think we just have to look at what we
saw in film last week, see what their coaches have
done in the past, and go from them.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Did you notice the edit by the way?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I did?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
So?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Do you want to get Jeremia Hunter more and more?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I didn't notice that?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Did you?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I didn't. It's the second to last question, I think,
very good. Can you remind it?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Well? The reason why is because I asked him. I
called him Jeremiah Martin, the former.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Oh, the defensive a lineman.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, yes, he's like you mean, Jeremiah Hunter.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I actually should have just left it. It would have
been even funnier. I thought it was pretty obvious that
there was an editing there. Dick picked it up right away.
Just go, okay, let me do this three two one?
Do you want to get Jeremia Hunter Morrik pretty much
what I did?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
He stand in there. Okay, yes, I did it right
in front of him. You got it now, I'm still
working on right whatever. Whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Well, look, I mean, obviously this game on Saturday is
tougher than last week, and next Saturday is tougher than
this week, and then the Saturday after that should be
tougher than that.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Exponentially harder is the is the weeks go by?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Absolutely, that's exactly what you and I will Northwestern be
tougher than Wazoo. I think Wazoo might be tougher the Northwest.
Maybe you know Northwestern plays in like two hours. Yeah,
I don't know enough about Northwestern football. We should turn
that on tonight. I think the Cougs are going to
beat Texas Tech. I picked them in Factor Fiction yesterday,
and I think they're going to come in here pissed off.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I know, I know koog fan died a story. I
think today on the lack of tickets that are being
sold for that game. And I'm really curious to see
if the Cougars win this game tomorrow in Pullman against
Texas Tech, what will that do for ticket sales for
the Apple Cup? Or if you if you are going
to the Apple Cup or planning on going to the
Apple Cup, have you already purchased tickets? How many tickets
(10:06):
will be purchased between Tomorrow night and next Saturday night.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Well, if if I know kug fans, and I think
I you're married to one, because I'm married to one
and she has lots of friends and family that are Cougars,
they get fired up when the Cougs win. I mean
it is a it is a bandwagony type of situation.
So if they were to win over Texas Tech this week,
I do think the boost will come to next week.
(10:30):
I think I think fans are waiting to see as
this team actually any good Portland State.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
We can't really tell.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
They put up seventy, but they also give up thirty.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Let's see what they do against Texas Tech. And oh
they beat Texas Tech at home. It was fun.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Yeah, let's go to the Apple couple will fork over
the one hundred bucks to go to the Apple Cup.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I think Cougar fans and coup Fan reported that thirty
five thousand seeds have been sold for the game, which
is about half fifty percent of capacity the numbers they
actually came out in June. WSU had sold seventeen hundred
in June and the Huskies had sold eighteen hundred, So
we'll see where that goes. There's gonna be more dog
fans than Coog fans. I don't think that's at all
(11:06):
surprise to anybody but the game being in Seattle. But
I think, and the gut feeling that I get, and
maybe this is just me just being on social media
way too much, that Cougar fans look at not buying
tickets for this game and not going to this game
as a way to fight back and show their protest
for the way they got left behind because they don't
have a lot of ways to fight back, and I'd
(11:28):
be bitter as hellify we them. Hello, let's hear from
a Beaver fan this morning. I told that guy I
don't believe for being bitter. So I think there's Cougar
fans that are purposely not buying tickets for this game
because that's the way they can show their big middle finger.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
To you, dub I just think if I was in
their situation, I'd want to go even more. I'd want
to beat the Huskies exponentially more this year than I
did in years past. And so why would I I
totally agree with I mean, wouldn't I want to go
to the game, let my voice be heard that way,
supporting my team being loud when the Huskies offense is
on the fiet and trying to make it a tough
(12:01):
environment for the dogs instead of just not going well.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
And then if you win, my god, it's gigantic.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And Guys, I'm telling you it would not stumn me
at all if you dub lost that game next Saturday
at all at all.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I mean, you Dub's got a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You just heard the coach of you Dubbs say they
have no idea what their best starting five offensive lineman
as yet they'll do the same thing against Eastern that
they did against Weaver. I'm watching that game last Saturday.
I swear to god, they had to drive the fourth
drive of the game. Where As a party is at
right tackle first down, he's a left tackle on second down,
right literally during the drive they switched their offensive lineman.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
I think we'll have a little better feeling for Wazoo
after watching the Texas Tech game. At least they're playing
a reasonably.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Good who gave up like fifty points to Appleing Christian
last Saturday. Did you see that they got pushed around
by I thought Applein Christian was a high school team,
I'm not kidding you, or a junior college team.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
So I'll take a look at at.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
The Kougs this weekend.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
But from what I got, what I gathered in the
limited amount of time I watched that Portland State game,
I'm not going to waste my Saturday watching a Washington
State Portland State game. But what jumped out to me
right away was the size or lack thereof, of the
Cougar defensive front.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
But that's always the case, right when they play you
dub They're always undersized, are they not?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
They are?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
But now you've got a hammer of a running back
and Jonah Coleman should be able to eat.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And that's all I mean.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
If you can relatively open up some holes for Jonah Coleman.
Even if you don't, he's big and strong enough to
be able to push the pile forward for three yards.
So I mean, I'm just based upon what I saw
in Week number one, I would feed Jonah Coleman and
Cam Davis forty plus times.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Between the two of them in that football game.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
No, I think I think that's what the plan would be,
for sure. I just look.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I think this is their super Bowl. They've been talking
about this all offseason long. I know the fans say
they don't care. I think they care. I think they
want to win this game very very badly. And I
don't blame them for that whatsoever. I think you asked
me a few weeks ago, you think they want to
win it more than they did last year.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
If I'm a Gym More or an Ian Furness or
a Jason Puckett or whoever, I am so fricking pissed
off and bitter and livid with college football. I am
ready to just be done and just start doing something else,
Just become a bookworm, just get the hell out of
the sport altogether. I feel betrayed if I'm a Wazoo fan,
Totally betrayed if I were a Wazoo fan or Beaver fan.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
So a gausible deniability because If the Huskies win, they
can just be like we didn't care anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Absolutely, And you know what, the.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Cougars win, that's good.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
At Shirp like you won't believe. I don't blame him.
I don't blame him for feeling either way.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
If they lose, then yeah, that's exactly what I would say.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
But I would want this win. I'd want it so
freaking bad.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I would want to bury you, Dub, and not just
bury you Dub, but make him feel it like guys
walking off the field, throwing up ambulances, showing up right
and left, like in fast Times at Ridgemont High. I
want a quarterback blown to bits by a defensive end.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You get my point.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
But this doesn't look like a bad UDUB team. And
when you have a good UDUB teer, I don't know
how good they are, but when you have a reasonably
good UDUB team, they win.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
They do, they do this, they do.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
But again, when you have forty four new guys, I
would rather honestly play this game in November than play
them in September because I want my team to be
at their peak and they're not at their peak yet,
and they won't even be close to if they're not
close to their peak by there, if they are, excuse me,
if this is as good as they get, then they're
gonna be in trouble, right I mean, my god, I
mean that's what Jed Fish has been talking about. Every
(15:29):
game should be the worst game you've played, or the
second worst, the third worst of four whatever. But this
Wazoo team, they've got more guys back last year they
played together than we do. They've got the motivation, they
got the whole thing. This Johnny Matteer, Johnny football. He
can play a lot of guys. I told you've been
talking about him even when cam Ward was there. They
thought this guy was a special dude. So we'll see.
(15:49):
Maybe it's just the paranoia Dick and me for next Saturday.
But I find myself a lot more concerned about this
game than we almost lost last year, and I wasn't
worried last year. Yeah, so you gotta get through this
game first on Saturday. Because Eastern Michigan likes to push
people around. They like to push big boys around. By
the way, this is I'm not saying Eastern Michigan is
gonna win. They're at twenty five point favorite, but my god, man,
(16:10):
oh dude, all right, we're got to a break fun
with audio.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Excuse me, a factor fiction.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
The Furness Pick of record is coming next, and then
humil enjoining us at three before Packers Eagles at five
from Brazil pregame four to thirty. Right here on ninety
three to three KJRFM.
Speaker 9 (16:26):
Now back to the Washington State Beat Commissions Football Friday
with Safti and Dick on your Home for the NFL
Sports Radio ninety three point three.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
kJ r FL.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
All right, bolls and girls, we got NFL Foodsball tonight Saftia,
Dick and Jackson and for Ian Furness. Jessman's on the
way to Pullman for the Texas Tech game, and Andrews
is getting ready for his big Chinnook's boat debut tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
What if you gets drunk and falls off the boat?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Mike, what are the odds is.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
There a life raft on that boat?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I'd say fifty four.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I think we should make him all.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I think we should make him wear a life preserver
while he's on the boat.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Just be that kid that has to wear it wherever
he goes. Fifty four of our game, right, what.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Happens if he's so bad they don't invite me back.
That's certainly possible. I mean, you're the one that picked.
They got to fill in for it. I would have
picked Jackson to be told you honest, he asked me.
I don't know, man, this is your reputation. They're down
the line tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Ashley's going to do it on the Northwestern game.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Oh, very cool.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Hey, before we get to uh Fun with you know what,
this isn't my show. It's not my fault. My brain
doesn't work until two forty five before we get to
factor fiction and we have Ian show's pick at two
thirty five. Our pick will come at three thirty five.
Stay tuned for that. Courtesy the Amra Quincasino. Can I
get to one clip that we did not play on
(17:47):
Fun With Audio because I want to hear Dick's reaction
to this? Uh, Charles Barkley, let me know when you
have the clip there. Jackson was on Bill Simmons Ringer
podcast this week and slammed w NBA players for their
naked activity around Caitland Clark joining the league.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
These ladies and I'm a WNBA fan, they cannot have
this Caitlin Clark thing up any worse if they tried.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
People believe what we say on television.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
Just because people don't like you or your personality they
can't get on TV is flounder you.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
It's just tot the bulls.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
This girl is incredible, the number of attention eyeballs. She's bought,
the cars and the pros. And for these women to
have this petty jealousness, he said to yourself, damn, what
is going on here?
Speaker 6 (18:38):
And the thing I love about her she never says
a word.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
But these ladies who I love and respect their game,
they couldn't have this thing up in a worse There's
been so much negativity.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
And a lot of it is just petty jealousness.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I feel a little bit like it was the cut
that we played with Nate Berlisson crying over the Taylor
Swift stuff. I almost feel like the pettiness, jealousy, negativity
was more like April May of this year, you know,
after the draft and leading into the season. I mean,
I maybe I'm missing it, but I haven't heard a
(19:18):
lot of it since the All Star break because she's
been absolutely killing it and so nobody better step out
and say a dang thing about her because she is
along with Asia Wilson. She has been the best player
in the w NBA for like the last three weeks.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
So the latest thing to hit is the Cheryl Swoops deal,
right like, she's been critical apparently, and yes, Nancy Lieberman
and her are no longer friends, and that's right out
three days ago. So I think it kind of just
bubbled up again when the Cheryl Swoops I forgot, and
he might have been responding to that.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I don't know if I agree with him. I mean, look,
I agree with him.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
If your goal is to not make the conversation anything
but basketball, then he's right because there's been so much
conversation about race and race relations and sexual preference and
things like that.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
You know, I mean a league that look, I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Black women who happen to be lesbian is obviously a
predominant thing in the WNBA, And here comes a straight
white girl and this conversation is being talked about by
a lot of people, and there's claims of jealousy because
of race, going back and forth, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And it's got ugly, right, You've seen it. It's gotten
ugly at times.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
So if the goal is to not have those types
of conversations, then yes, he's right, they completely left it up.
If the goal is to get people talking about the league,
they could not have done a better job because they
have never been talked about like they're being talked about now.
I've told you for weeks now the Rookie of the
Year announcement and they do that win during the finals.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Is that what you said?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Whenever they do it, they better do like a separate
broadcast and make this a big damn deal because never
in the history of the WNBA, and never again will
people care about the Rookie of the Year like they
care now.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Never, no question.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Unbelievable how many people care about this Angel Reese versus
Caitlin Clark. So you got to embrace that, first of
all if you're the WNBA. And then second of all, look,
I mean, the team is good. They're the four seed
now and the playoffs. Everywhere they go they get gigantic crowds.
Sixty sixteed. Sorry that that hasn't calmed down at all.
It's unbelievable how many people who could not have given
(21:32):
a damn about this are now acting like it's the
best thing in their lives.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I mean, look including me.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I mean I get worked up about I didn't care
about it, and now look at me. I'm going nuts
about this stuff. So from a marketing perspective, it's been
it's been a godsend for the WNBA. But all these
other conversations that have turned ugly and nasty. Players are
still almost like physically assaulting her in games they play
(21:59):
against them.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I mean that stuff. Maybe that's what he's talking about.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Yeah, last year, the MVP was named about two weeks
after the end of the season. So I mean, you're right,
I mean it should be. It should be a big
time show on television. You know.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Heck, have the Ion network, who's been blown up? Do it?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Do it get more pub to that network? Because they
had two million viewers on Friday night in the fever Sky.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Look, I'm gonna whenever the announcement comes down, I'm gonna
unless I'm busy with something else, I'm gonna watch it.
I'm totally gonna watch it and see who they give
the Rookie of the Year too. And if it's if
it's angel Rees, people will be pissed. Clark people maybe
not as many will be pissed somebody's gonna be pissed
somewhere about.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
The Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
It's like, who even cared about this stuff? And now
it's just unbelievable, man. So I don't I don't blame
them at all. I don't blame Charles at all. It's
just really incredible how this whole conversation has just blown
up and it's still not going on.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
It's been great for the league, I mean, like like
you said, I mean, the league's never been more popular.
I've never had more Now I've had a gradual over
the last fifteen twenty years. More and more men have
been asking me about the storm, and that's it's been
like a consistent climb over the last fifteen years. And
then in the last nine months, it's just like spiked,
(23:14):
absolutely spiked.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
All right, let's get to it. The Midday Show Official Prediction.

behalf to select the Detroit Lions at home at Ford
Field minus four and a half against the La Rams.
(24:47):
So the official pick is Detroit minus the four and
a half against the Rams.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Fact.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
If you agree fiction, if you disagree to four nine,
four to five one.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Right now, I think I know what the Lions are.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I don't know what the Rams are, so it's hard
for me to go on one side or the other.
I think the I think the Lions are going to
be right about as good as they were last year.
I think the Rams could take us a step back,
and if they do, this is a great pick.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
But god, it's it.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Kind of feels like a pass, right John McVay, Matthew Stafford,
Pook is gonna be there, you know, Cooper cups good.
I mean, it's it kind of feels like a pass
to me. I mean, if you've gone to my head,
I'd probably take Detroit. But it's not one, not even
one of my favorite five or six.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Well, we texted back when Jessman on the text line
gave us the pick and said, great pick.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I don't like bad pick bad.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
We don't know fully what the Rams are and with
an offense that has two really good receivers, has a
veteran quality quarterback. Kyron Williams was really good in the
run game. And then they drafted Blake korm who we
all know what he can do. I mean, like that
offense can score points. We don't know how good is
Detroit's defense yet, I don't know, Like I would not
pick a team four and a half when they're against
(26:01):
a good offense.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
All right, Well, look if you don't like it, and
then text in fiction.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
If you like it, you think we're nuts, and Jessman
knows what the hell she's talking about, then text in
fact to four nine, four, five to one. Right now,
Lions minus the four and a half against the Rams selection.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Just go back to Sunday, September the tenth of twenty
twenty three Seahawks at home opening day.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yep, Sean McVeigh, I thought we'd go game in thought.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
And I'm just destroyed the Seahawks exactly thirty to thirteen.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So and you've convinced.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
And that was a Seahawks team that would go on
to win five of their next six games. So it
wasn't a bad Seahawks team. It was a good ram team,
and they were ready. They were more ready than we
were by far.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Can you send me the Google doc again, Jackson, I
can't find it. You want to know, I'm sorry. I
just want to know who's been selected so far, because
there's a game that I like. There's a game that
I like tomorrow, and I'm wondering if you like it too.
I'm not gonna yeah, excuse me Sunday, and I'm wondering
if you like it too. Well, we're done right, and
we have this pick, like our pick. I like the
(27:07):
Chargers at home against the Raiders this weekend. It's not
what I'm going with, but I think Jim Harby comes
out with a bang rick and Gardener Minshew's head off
and kicks it into the third deck of So five
three and a half? What I think it's three and
a half. Yeah, let me look it up for you
real quick. Three and a half yep, No, three three three.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
But although in the world of Kevin Shockey Factor fiction
TiSER lost a yeah, all right, So here's what we're
gonna do.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
That's their pick, the Lions minus the points factor fiction
to four nine, four to five one. We'll give you
our pick. Courtesy of Jackson Coming up at three thirty
five to day
All right, Factor Fiction, at least the Ian Fernes version
(00:03):
of it coming up at two thirty five. This will
not count towards our standings because it's their pick and
we are making it on their behalf. It's like when
somebody goes up and accepts the oscar for somebody else. Right,
Jessamin McIntyre has already sent us in their official selection,
so we'll announce the pick for them at two thirty five,
and then we will have our shows official selection at
(00:24):
three thirty five on the show Factor Fiction, all brought

State Beef Commission Football Friday, proudly brought to you by

Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's what's for dinner? Whatever happened to the idea of.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
The gal bringing the case of dias and the nachos
and all that stuff down here last wonderful? Whatever happened
to that idea? Recipe of the week is the grilled steak, flatbread?
Where are those? Where's the telemore new? Where's all the stuff?
Where's the cores light?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
We do have San Juan Tulta out there.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
We do have san Juan Seltzer. That's it.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I mean, all the stuff that we say and do
on this radio station, what about what we should be
getting on this radio station. How can you force us
to go on the air and talk about whiskey, pizza
and beer and not have any.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Of it in the studio.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
It's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I'm boycotting it until I get fed jed fish in
the Huskies Dick tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Are you going, by the way, No, I'm not going tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
That's why Andres is doing the boat for me because
I am m seeing a Swim Across America event that morning,
and I'm doing a Storm game at night, and so
I wanted to have some semblance of energy for the
Storm game since I'm getting up at five thirty in
the morning.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
To do the first thing.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, no, that's why I just got Fubo. I just
got Fubo so I.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Can go home and prep for the Storm game while
I watch my brand new Big ten network on Fubo
and watch the game.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Well, I gotta be honest with you, man, I've had
Fubo for a week now, and I finally this morning
made the call to cut the cable. And it was
it was all, be honest with you, it was orgasmic
well done.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It was unbelievable. I can't wait for this. I mean,
it's really exciting.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I'm gonna play around with football all weekend long, and
then on Monday, I'm taking all that crap into the
Infinity store in South Center and just say, yeah, can
we share?
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Can we share all the money that you saved this morning?
I mean, it'thing, truly honestly incredible. I'm saving like two
hundred bucks a month now with everything total.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
It's unreal.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And it just felt exhilarating, like consumers don't have a
lot of power anymore over anything. And when I called
them up and I said I'm done, and it took
like five minutes, they canceled the whole thing and blah
blah blah, and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I just I just felt like I cleansed mics.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Were you on a contract with them?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
No? I was not.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I'm on a year contract for a better rate. So
I'm wondering if they're going to charge some like early exits.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So here's how that works. When you move.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
If you have Comcast TV Plus Internet I do, it
does not You do not have to pay any penalty.
If you keep Comcast Internet, you get rid of cable,
so you can get rid of the TV. But you say, hey,
just give me an Internet rate. There's no penalty.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So I so, for now, full disclosure, I'm keeping the
Internet with Exfinity for now, okay, but I might switch
out later. I just think I never knew feel this way.
You know, I never knew that I would have this
kind of reaction. Maybe you just talked it up for
so long that I just kind of like in the moment,
just lost my mind. But I was actually recording myself
(03:21):
as I made the call to comcass. You guys want
to hear it?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yes, yes, well I'll tell you.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I've been playing around with the Fubo app and it's
already ten thousand times better than the exit stream and they're.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Breaking the game. But I'm big ten again tomorrow if
you're a Husky fan, So now you get it. That's
why I had you can record the game. And I mean,
this one, isn't it amazing? How this was the straw
that broke the camel's back, This little stupid, little game,
nothing game against Weber States, and people just lost their minds.
I'm done because we were just waiting for because you've
(03:59):
been about doing this forever, like I mean, you're hanging
with a bunch of you know, millennials like Jackson whatever,
a bunch of made us feel like ridiculous old boobs.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
We got cable. This is awful.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
We're dinosaurs, and we were waiting for the one moment
to finally snap and cancel cable with comcasts. And this
was it. This was the one that put us over
the edge. And it wasn't that hard. I got through it.
I'm very proud of myself that I made the move.
I'm saving a lot of money. The principle I feel
like now I am in control. I'm the captain now.
(04:29):
Well yeah, because you can't.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Because you can cancel this at any time and go
to YouTube TV if you want it.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
So if the Mariner's flame out and root Sports goes
and that doesn't exist anymore and they're on a different network,
maybe I'll switch over to YouTube.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Who knows, I can do whatever I want. I'm in charge.
With Fubo.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
You are paying the as Dick. You should be too,
the ten dollars regional sports fee that just like comcasts,
that happens on Fubo.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So it's it's that's you know, the Root Sports.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Do I need the regional sports fee? I mean, do
I need?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Do I need Root sports now?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
And that's the thing at this moment, you do, but
right if you don't, YouTube TV doesn't have sports, and
that would be the thing. That's why I went to
Fubo is because I'm like, I need to watch the
Maritors a couple you know a few years ago, but
now you know, I told you I'm apathetic.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I'm off the train.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Only thing I don't get on Fubo is t N
T and TBS, but I get that with HBO masks right,
and so you get all the basketball tournament whatever, blah
blah blah. Fubo has got great cloud data with their
With their you can record the games. The playback speeds awesome.
I'm not endorsing Fubo. I mean, I guess I am,
but I'm not being paid by them. So I'm very
happy I made the move. Now we'll see him and
come back to me in a month and ask me.
(05:40):
But it's so far, I'm very very happy.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Red Zone is available on all right.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I gotta get your Scott Hansen, Jed Fish had a
chance to catch up with him yesterday a couple of
minutes with the coach of the Dogs, asking him, after
a week one going into the Weebird game, did they
make the progress that they were hoping to make?
Speaker 7 (05:57):
I would say Thursday, Thursday, we made in progress. We'll
see what Saturday looks like. Right. You don't really know
until you actually go out there and play. But I
would say we practiced better this Wednesday than we did
last Wednesday. And I would say that our ability to
recall and put the game plan together will certainly help us.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, not sure.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I remember an opener with so many different line combinations
that you guys had on Saturday.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Have you ever been a part of something like that?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
And how close are you to maybe woodland that down
to five guys.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
I don't think we're close to whittling it down. I
would say that we're going to continue to rotate upfront
for a while. We did that at Miami when I
was with Al Golden at University of Miami, and we've
done it. We did it at Michigan, and I don't
think there's a problem. I just think you just have
to figure out exactly who your best guys are and
(06:49):
who fits, and you know you don't need guys to
play tired if you can have somebody else that's the
same talent level, healthy and fresh.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
How did you grate out Will's game that he had
on Saturday?
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Good? I thought Will had a really good game.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I would say, you know, when you complete seventy six
percent of your passes, when you're averaging ten yards per attempt.
I don't know how much more he could have done
in the game, honestly, I mean, maybe hit one more pass.
I don't know, but uh, he only played three quarters.
We went up twenty eight nothing, and he he was
pretty successful.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Do you want to get Jeremiah hundred more involved?
Speaker 7 (07:24):
He yeah, I would say I want it to happen organically.
Speaker 8 (07:29):
I don't want to.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
We're not into forcing the ball to people.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
We don't go through this process of how do I
get him the ball to get him going. I think
that if he only completed fifty percent of our passes, maybe,
but if we're gonna stay at a seventy five to
eighty percent clip rate of completions, then I think organically
that will occur.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
A lot has been made about the forty four new
players that you've got, but Eastern's got fifty three new players.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Talking to Chris Creighton this.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Week, how do you prepare for a team with half
the roster being brand new?
Speaker 7 (07:59):
Yeah, you know, I think that that's maybe part of
college football. I hope in three years from now it's
not part of our college football. But in college football,
you're always gonna have twenty five or thirty new guys.
So I think the difference for US is forty four
of Mars or scholarship players plus another whatever walk ons
we have that are brand new as well. So you know, overall,
(08:20):
I think we just have to look at what we
saw in film last week, see what their coaches have
done in the past, and go from them.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Did you notice the edit by the way?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I did?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
So?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Do you want to get Jeremia Hunter more and more?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I didn't notice that?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Did you?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I didn't. It's the second to last question, I think,
very good. Can you remind it?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Well? The reason why is because I asked him. I
called him Jeremiah Martin, the former.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Oh, the defensive a lineman.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, yes, he's like you mean, Jeremiah Hunter.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I actually should have just left it. It would have
been even funnier. I thought it was pretty obvious that
there was an editing there. Dick picked it up right away.
Just go, okay, let me do this three two one?
Do you want to get Jeremia Hunter Morrik pretty much
what I did?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
He stand in there. Okay, yes, I did it right
in front of him. You got it now, I'm still
working on right whatever. Whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Well, look, I mean, obviously this game on Saturday is
tougher than last week, and next Saturday is tougher than
this week, and then the Saturday after that should be
tougher than that.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Exponentially harder is the is the weeks go by?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Absolutely, that's exactly what you and I will Northwestern be
tougher than Wazoo. I think Wazoo might be tougher the Northwest.
Maybe you know Northwestern plays in like two hours. Yeah,
I don't know enough about Northwestern football. We should turn
that on tonight. I think the Cougs are going to
beat Texas Tech. I picked them in Factor Fiction yesterday,
and I think they're going to come in here pissed off.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I know, I know koog fan died a story. I
think today on the lack of tickets that are being
sold for that game. And I'm really curious to see
if the Cougars win this game tomorrow in Pullman against
Texas Tech, what will that do for ticket sales for
the Apple Cup? Or if you if you are going
to the Apple Cup or planning on going to the
Apple Cup, have you already purchased tickets? How many tickets
(10:06):
will be purchased between Tomorrow night and next Saturday night.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Well, if if I know kug fans, and I think
I you're married to one, because I'm married to one
and she has lots of friends and family that are Cougars,
they get fired up when the Cougs win. I mean
it is a it is a bandwagony type of situation.
So if they were to win over Texas Tech this week,
I do think the boost will come to next week.
(10:30):
I think I think fans are waiting to see as
this team actually any good Portland State.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
We can't really tell.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
They put up seventy, but they also give up thirty.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Let's see what they do against Texas Tech. And oh
they beat Texas Tech at home. It was fun.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Yeah, let's go to the Apple couple will fork over
the one hundred bucks to go to the Apple Cup.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I think Cougar fans and coup Fan reported that thirty
five thousand seeds have been sold for the game, which
is about half fifty percent of capacity the numbers they
actually came out in June. WSU had sold seventeen hundred
in June and the Huskies had sold eighteen hundred, So
we'll see where that goes. There's gonna be more dog
fans than Coog fans. I don't think that's at all
(11:06):
surprise to anybody but the game being in Seattle. But
I think, and the gut feeling that I get, and
maybe this is just me just being on social media
way too much, that Cougar fans look at not buying
tickets for this game and not going to this game
as a way to fight back and show their protest
for the way they got left behind because they don't
have a lot of ways to fight back, and I'd
(11:28):
be bitter as hellify we them. Hello, let's hear from
a Beaver fan this morning. I told that guy I
don't believe for being bitter. So I think there's Cougar
fans that are purposely not buying tickets for this game
because that's the way they can show their big middle finger.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
To you, dub I just think if I was in
their situation, I'd want to go even more. I'd want
to beat the Huskies exponentially more this year than I
did in years past. And so why would I I
totally agree with I mean, wouldn't I want to go
to the game, let my voice be heard that way,
supporting my team being loud when the Huskies offense is
on the fiet and trying to make it a tough
(12:01):
environment for the dogs instead of just not going well.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
And then if you win, my god, it's gigantic.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And Guys, I'm telling you it would not stumn me
at all if you dub lost that game next Saturday
at all at all.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I mean, you Dub's got a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You just heard the coach of you Dubbs say they
have no idea what their best starting five offensive lineman
as yet they'll do the same thing against Eastern that
they did against Weaver. I'm watching that game last Saturday.
I swear to god, they had to drive the fourth
drive of the game. Where As a party is at
right tackle first down, he's a left tackle on second down,
right literally during the drive they switched their offensive lineman.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
I think we'll have a little better feeling for Wazoo
after watching the Texas Tech game. At least they're playing
a reasonably.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Good who gave up like fifty points to Appleing Christian
last Saturday. Did you see that they got pushed around
by I thought Applein Christian was a high school team,
I'm not kidding you, or a junior college team.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
So I'll take a look at at.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
The Kougs this weekend.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
But from what I got, what I gathered in the
limited amount of time I watched that Portland State game,
I'm not going to waste my Saturday watching a Washington
State Portland State game. But what jumped out to me
right away was the size or lack thereof, of the
Cougar defensive front.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
But that's always the case, right when they play you
dub They're always undersized, are they not?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
They are?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
But now you've got a hammer of a running back
and Jonah Coleman should be able to eat.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And that's all I mean.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
If you can relatively open up some holes for Jonah Coleman.
Even if you don't, he's big and strong enough to
be able to push the pile forward for three yards.
So I mean, I'm just based upon what I saw
in Week number one, I would feed Jonah Coleman and
Cam Davis forty plus times.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Between the two of them in that football game.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
No, I think I think that's what the plan would be,
for sure. I just look.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I think this is their super Bowl. They've been talking
about this all offseason long. I know the fans say
they don't care. I think they care. I think they
want to win this game very very badly. And I
don't blame them for that whatsoever. I think you asked
me a few weeks ago, you think they want to
win it more than they did last year.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
If I'm a Gym More or an Ian Furness or
a Jason Puckett or whoever, I am so fricking pissed
off and bitter and livid with college football. I am
ready to just be done and just start doing something else,
Just become a bookworm, just get the hell out of
the sport altogether. I feel betrayed if I'm a Wazoo fan,
Totally betrayed if I were a Wazoo fan or Beaver fan.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
So a gausible deniability because If the Huskies win, they
can just be like we didn't care anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Absolutely, And you know what, the.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Cougars win, that's good.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
At Shirp like you won't believe. I don't blame him.
I don't blame him for feeling either way.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
If they lose, then yeah, that's exactly what I would say.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
But I would want this win. I'd want it so
freaking bad.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I would want to bury you, Dub, and not just
bury you Dub, but make him feel it like guys
walking off the field, throwing up ambulances, showing up right
and left, like in fast Times at Ridgemont High. I
want a quarterback blown to bits by a defensive end.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You get my point.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
But this doesn't look like a bad UDUB team. And
when you have a good UDUB teer, I don't know
how good they are, but when you have a reasonably
good UDUB team, they win.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
They do, they do this, they do.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
But again, when you have forty four new guys, I
would rather honestly play this game in November than play
them in September because I want my team to be
at their peak and they're not at their peak yet,
and they won't even be close to if they're not
close to their peak by there, if they are, excuse me,
if this is as good as they get, then they're
gonna be in trouble, right I mean, my god, I
mean that's what Jed Fish has been talking about. Every
(15:29):
game should be the worst game you've played, or the
second worst, the third worst of four whatever. But this
Wazoo team, they've got more guys back last year they
played together than we do. They've got the motivation, they
got the whole thing. This Johnny Matteer, Johnny football. He
can play a lot of guys. I told you've been
talking about him even when cam Ward was there. They
thought this guy was a special dude. So we'll see.
(15:49):
Maybe it's just the paranoia Dick and me for next Saturday.
But I find myself a lot more concerned about this
game than we almost lost last year, and I wasn't
worried last year. Yeah, so you gotta get through this
game first on Saturday. Because Eastern Michigan likes to push
people around. They like to push big boys around. By
the way, this is I'm not saying Eastern Michigan is
gonna win. They're at twenty five point favorite, but my god, man,
(16:10):
oh dude, all right, we're got to a break fun
with audio.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Excuse me, a factor fiction.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
The Furness Pick of record is coming next, and then
humil enjoining us at three before Packers Eagles at five
from Brazil pregame four to thirty. Right here on ninety
three to three KJRFM.
Speaker 9 (16:26):
Now back to the Washington State Beat Commissions Football Friday
with Safti and Dick on your Home for the NFL
Sports Radio ninety three point three.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
kJ r FL.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
All right, bolls and girls, we got NFL Foodsball tonight Saftia,
Dick and Jackson and for Ian Furness. Jessman's on the
way to Pullman for the Texas Tech game, and Andrews
is getting ready for his big Chinnook's boat debut tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
What if you gets drunk and falls off the boat?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Mike, what are the odds is.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
There a life raft on that boat?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I'd say fifty four.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I think we should make him all.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I think we should make him wear a life preserver
while he's on the boat.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Just be that kid that has to wear it wherever
he goes. Fifty four of our game, right, what.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Happens if he's so bad they don't invite me back.
That's certainly possible. I mean, you're the one that picked.
They got to fill in for it. I would have
picked Jackson to be told you honest, he asked me.
I don't know, man, this is your reputation. They're down
the line tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Ashley's going to do it on the Northwestern game.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Oh, very cool.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Hey, before we get to uh Fun with you know what,
this isn't my show. It's not my fault. My brain
doesn't work until two forty five before we get to
factor fiction and we have Ian show's pick at two
thirty five. Our pick will come at three thirty five.
Stay tuned for that. Courtesy the Amra Quincasino. Can I
get to one clip that we did not play on
(17:47):
Fun With Audio because I want to hear Dick's reaction
to this? Uh, Charles Barkley, let me know when you
have the clip there. Jackson was on Bill Simmons Ringer
podcast this week and slammed w NBA players for their
naked activity around Caitland Clark joining the league.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
These ladies and I'm a WNBA fan, they cannot have
this Caitlin Clark thing up any worse if they tried.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
People believe what we say on television.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
Just because people don't like you or your personality they
can't get on TV is flounder you.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
It's just tot the bulls.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
This girl is incredible, the number of attention eyeballs. She's bought,
the cars and the pros. And for these women to
have this petty jealousness, he said to yourself, damn, what
is going on here?
Speaker 6 (18:38):
And the thing I love about her she never says
a word.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
But these ladies who I love and respect their game,
they couldn't have this thing up in a worse There's
been so much negativity.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
And a lot of it is just petty jealousness.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I feel a little bit like it was the cut
that we played with Nate Berlisson crying over the Taylor
Swift stuff. I almost feel like the pettiness, jealousy, negativity
was more like April May of this year, you know,
after the draft and leading into the season. I mean,
I maybe I'm missing it, but I haven't heard a
(19:18):
lot of it since the All Star break because she's
been absolutely killing it and so nobody better step out
and say a dang thing about her because she is
along with Asia Wilson. She has been the best player
in the w NBA for like the last three weeks.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
So the latest thing to hit is the Cheryl Swoops deal,
right like, she's been critical apparently, and yes, Nancy Lieberman
and her are no longer friends, and that's right out
three days ago. So I think it kind of just
bubbled up again when the Cheryl Swoops I forgot, and
he might have been responding to that.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I don't know if I agree with him. I mean, look,
I agree with him.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
If your goal is to not make the conversation anything
but basketball, then he's right because there's been so much
conversation about race and race relations and sexual preference and
things like that.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
You know, I mean a league that look, I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Black women who happen to be lesbian is obviously a
predominant thing in the WNBA, And here comes a straight
white girl and this conversation is being talked about by
a lot of people, and there's claims of jealousy because
of race, going back and forth, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And it's got ugly, right, You've seen it. It's gotten
ugly at times.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
So if the goal is to not have those types
of conversations, then yes, he's right, they completely left it up.
If the goal is to get people talking about the league,
they could not have done a better job because they
have never been talked about like they're being talked about now.
I've told you for weeks now the Rookie of the
Year announcement and they do that win during the finals.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Is that what you said?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Whenever they do it, they better do like a separate
broadcast and make this a big damn deal because never
in the history of the WNBA, and never again will
people care about the Rookie of the Year like they
care now.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Never, no question.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Unbelievable how many people care about this Angel Reese versus
Caitlin Clark. So you got to embrace that, first of
all if you're the WNBA. And then second of all, look,
I mean, the team is good. They're the four seed
now and the playoffs. Everywhere they go they get gigantic crowds.
Sixty sixteed. Sorry that that hasn't calmed down at all.
It's unbelievable how many people who could not have given
(21:32):
a damn about this are now acting like it's the
best thing in their lives.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I mean, look including me.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I mean I get worked up about I didn't care
about it, and now look at me. I'm going nuts
about this stuff. So from a marketing perspective, it's been
it's been a godsend for the WNBA. But all these
other conversations that have turned ugly and nasty. Players are
still almost like physically assaulting her in games they play
(21:59):
against them.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I mean that stuff. Maybe that's what he's talking about.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Yeah, last year, the MVP was named about two weeks
after the end of the season. So I mean, you're right,
I mean it should be. It should be a big
time show on television. You know.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Heck, have the Ion network, who's been blown up? Do it?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Do it get more pub to that network? Because they
had two million viewers on Friday night in the fever Sky.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Look, I'm gonna whenever the announcement comes down, I'm gonna
unless I'm busy with something else, I'm gonna watch it.
I'm totally gonna watch it and see who they give
the Rookie of the Year too. And if it's if
it's angel Rees, people will be pissed. Clark people maybe
not as many will be pissed somebody's gonna be pissed
somewhere about.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
The Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
It's like, who even cared about this stuff? And now
it's just unbelievable, man. So I don't I don't blame
them at all. I don't blame Charles at all. It's
just really incredible how this whole conversation has just blown
up and it's still not going on.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
It's been great for the league, I mean, like like
you said, I mean, the league's never been more popular.
I've never had more Now I've had a gradual over
the last fifteen twenty years. More and more men have
been asking me about the storm, and that's it's been
like a consistent climb over the last fifteen years. And
then in the last nine months, it's just like spiked,
(23:14):
absolutely spiked.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
All right, let's get to it. The Midday Show Official Prediction.
We will present their selection courtesy of The Emerald Queen
Casino Factor Fiction.

behalf to select the Detroit Lions at home at Ford
Field minus four and a half against the La Rams.
(24:47):
So the official pick is Detroit minus the four and
a half against the Rams.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Fact.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
If you agree fiction, if you disagree to four nine,
four to five one.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Right now, I think I know what the Lions are.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I don't know what the Rams are, so it's hard
for me to go on one side or the other.
I think the I think the Lions are going to
be right about as good as they were last year.
I think the Rams could take us a step back,
and if they do, this is a great pick.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
But god, it's it.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Kind of feels like a pass, right John McVay, Matthew Stafford,
Pook is gonna be there, you know, Cooper cups good.
I mean, it's it kind of feels like a pass
to me. I mean, if you've gone to my head,
I'd probably take Detroit. But it's not one, not even
one of my favorite five or six.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Well, we texted back when Jessman on the text line
gave us the pick and said, great pick.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I don't like bad pick bad.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
We don't know fully what the Rams are and with
an offense that has two really good receivers, has a
veteran quality quarterback. Kyron Williams was really good in the
run game. And then they drafted Blake korm who we
all know what he can do. I mean, like that
offense can score points. We don't know how good is
Detroit's defense yet, I don't know, Like I would not
pick a team four and a half when they're against
(26:01):
a good offense.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
All right, Well, look if you don't like it, and
then text in fiction.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
If you like it, you think we're nuts, and Jessman
knows what the hell she's talking about, then text in
fact to four nine, four, five to one. Right now,
Lions minus the four and a half against the Rams selection.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Just go back to Sunday, September the tenth of twenty
twenty three Seahawks at home opening day.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yep, Sean McVeigh, I thought we'd go game in thought.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
And I'm just destroyed the Seahawks exactly thirty to thirteen.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So and you've convinced.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
And that was a Seahawks team that would go on
to win five of their next six games. So it
wasn't a bad Seahawks team. It was a good ram team,
and they were ready. They were more ready than we
were by far.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Can you send me the Google doc again, Jackson, I
can't find it. You want to know, I'm sorry. I
just want to know who's been selected so far, because
there's a game that I like. There's a game that
I like tomorrow, and I'm wondering if you like it too.
I'm not gonna yeah, excuse me Sunday, and I'm wondering
if you like it too. Well, we're done right, and
we have this pick, like our pick. I like the
(27:07):
Chargers at home against the Raiders this weekend. It's not
what I'm going with, but I think Jim Harby comes
out with a bang rick and Gardener Minshew's head off
and kicks it into the third deck of So five
three and a half? What I think it's three and
a half. Yeah, let me look it up for you
real quick. Three and a half yep, No, three three three.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
But although in the world of Kevin Shockey Factor fiction
TiSER lost a yeah, all right, So here's what we're
gonna do.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
That's their pick, the Lions minus the points factor fiction
