Speaker 1 (00:00):
Chambers Bay Distillery. We're hanging out here today. Why this
is a thank you. This is a thank you Alan
and Jeff, and it's a listen. First of all, it's
a small business craft distillery. They make the best I'm
telling you right now, the best bourbon that you will
find anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. Big fan of the

(00:23):
Dead Eyed Gin as well. It took them, I don't know,
four or five years before I could convince them to
make gin, but they did. The Dead Eyed Gin is fantastic.
So for those of you like gin, awesome, whether you
go with the Greenhorn, the Strait, the Maderra or the
Captain's Reserve, which we'll tell you about a little bit
later on Good place to come. They have trivia on Tuesdays.
But more importantly, listen, it's the holiday season and I

(00:47):
know I'm gonna do some shopping before I leave here today.
Grab a bottle of brown water, Gin vodka, the Ron vodka.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
You do like the brown Water?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
I like it all.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
It's all here. Ghost Dog Whiskey A good place to
do some Christmas shopping. Come back, or if you're just
shopping in this area, this Bridgeport area is butriche I
don't know what they call this same. It's gorgeous over here.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
All kinds of.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Shops come across the street, have a craft cocktail, relaxed
for a second. They got some foods, some small bites
as well, chicken tenders, friendship sliders, flatbreads, other things down here.
So they got it all at Chambers made his story.
I bring that up because of this. We do the
Mary and Maple Valley Open every year at Drewiz Glenn.
In fact, very soon we're going to tell you the
date and announce everything.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
For next year.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
We're about ready to write the checks to all three
charities from the beer sales and the golf tournament. Those
are going to go out here in the next few
days and we'll kind of make that announcement and then
tell you when the golf tournament is next year.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
The last three or four years at.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Least since we I think it's been when we go
back twenty so, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, last
four years since we went back to Druis. We missed
the one year with COVID. We went one year big
thanks to our friends over in Allen doing the tournament
over there. But since we returned to Drewis, Glenn, Alan
and Jeff bring the old whiskey wagon up there, Jess
and Andrews.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
You guys saw it last year.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
It might have been, I'm there.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
You might have they We bring the old whiskey wagon,
the Chambers Bay wagon up there, and they come by
and they bring the wagon up and they donate, period
and a story. You buy a charity cocktail, all the
money goes to charities. We do the We call it
the Viking, named after my good friend Jamie Mackenzie, who
is a big part of our sponsorship through Prime Electric. Basically,

(02:22):
the Viking is Cranberry and vodka, Cranberry sotovodka.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
They call that the Vikings.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Well that's his nickname, and I call it the Skinny something.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
No, it's the Viking because the Viking helps us out
of the tournament. That's his drink of choice.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Give it that.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
So we give it to that and then we also
we had a couple other cocktails and they donate everything
and as a small business, that's a pretty massive expense
for them. And so I want to come down here
and support them. And I'm urging anybody in this area
or anywhere if you like craft cocktails. If you like
great great bourbon, great vodka, great gin, what have you.
This is the place to come during the holiday season

(02:59):
where he make it down here today or later on,
come support these guys look forward as well. I think
the total wine and more still, total whine and more,
Alan do is that carea you find it? Where where
can we find your beverages besides here? Total wine, total
wine as well as for Chambers Bay. All right, so
these guys are great. We'll tell you more about them
a little bit later. We have a busy show coming
up today. Doctor Elizabeth Cantwell, Washington State University President's going

(03:22):
to join us coming up at one twenty. Where are
we with college athletics? Not just with Wazoo's coaching search.
We'll definitely get into that at athletic director search. But
she comes from Utah State University. If you want to
look at it this way, a couple of the smaller
fish in today's college landscape. Where are we with all
these things? Where are we with college athletics as a whole?
But where are they at right now? We'll talk to her.

(03:44):
We have not had a chance to talk to the
new president of the school in the university system. Yet
we'll do that coming up at one twenty. Do not
miss that, whether you're a Cougar fan or not. If
you could want to take a listen to that coming
up here at one twenty today, John London, two o'clock
talking all things NFL. As we get to that, we'll
do a daily power play at one forty five four
five one. That is the still Unrestricted free Agent text line.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yes, it's the Chambers Bay Distillery text.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Line today it's the Chambers Bay dis still read text line.
That's a great idea, Anderson Hurst, Anderson Hurst, you are
the smartest guy I've ever met. Alan Today is the
Chambers Bay Distillery text line four nine four to five one.
So text in your thoughts, your comments, your questions, the
complaints and your concerns to the Chambers Bay Distillery text
line four nine four to five one.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
All right, text we'll take those two. Uh.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
We also have a gentleman here to stop by to
say high for a second. We'll throw them on the air.
We got a couple of minutes here, because why not.
We should probably talk about the harry fordtrade. We haven't
had a chance to do that yet. You ever heard
the name Chris Crawford.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
Anybody Chris absolutely, I have not heard that.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yes, Skeeters here, Skeeter, well things, Skeeter are here. So
he's here, Chris Crawford.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Stop. Good to see a buddy.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
How to see him too, man, it's awesome little place
that they had not he little. It's an awesome place
and it's such a great uh great area. I think
I'm gonna pick up some Christmas presents when I'm on
my way out. He hears to pick up some brown
water for some family members.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
I love that absolutely.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Hey, okay, gonna We're still buried with football this end
of the year, and then you have a Saturday baseball trade. Yeah,
uh huh, what's going on? Sure, Harry Ford trade for
Jose Ferrara. Yes, thoughts, So I was surprised. I mean,
there was so much talk about Harry Ford going for
big time names at the deadline, and then you see

(05:32):
him going for a left handed reliever in the middle
of December. You don't clearly have a planet backup catcher.
I will caution everybody, it's backup catcher.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
Guys.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
Calm down, calm down about that one.

Speaker 6 (05:42):
For sure.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
I do like the trade and part of the reason
I like the trade is that Farrere is the type
of guy the Mariners have done wonders with. He is
a guy who generates. He throws a bowling ball, the
ball just has so much sink. I believe he was
in the ninety ninth percent tilent ground ball right. He
throws hard. I bet you the Mariners get into that
secondary stuff more because if you take a look at

(06:06):
the splits, I believe hitters had like a one to
fifty average and a much higher swinging miss rate than
he did against the sinker. Now that's common because sinkers
don't have nearly the same type of movement.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
I think he.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
Can really pitch, and I think he's going to be
a really good high leverage guy. This is also a
pretty strong basics that Harry Ford just wasn't that valuable.
Like if Harry Ford, you can criticize Justin Hollander and
Jerry Depoto all you want, if you could have gotten
more for Harry Ford, you would have gotten more for Harry.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
I think that's the key is Nick Chris, because I
think initially people you know, like my son, for example,
what the hell had Harry Ford had been pumped up
so much. He's got a British accent sometimes, but he
honestly they had pumped his tires.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Up so much. Oh yeah, absolutely, What.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
Kind of prospect really was He's He was not a
top fifty prospect. He was in the top one hundred.
He was probably in that seventy five eighty range. And
that's obviously incredibly subjective, right, like you know, one person's
thirty five is another person sixty five, and so on
and so forth. But he was a guy that people

(07:14):
have real concerns about whether or not he's a good
enough framer and receiver to be a catcher, and whether
or not he's actually going to tap into that power.
And he has a high floor because he is a
solid receiver, well solid catcher, Like he's certainly athletic enough
to stay behind the plate, and he has a good
approach at the plate. But you can find guys like this,

(07:34):
like this is not a special prospect whatsoever. He is
a high floor guy. And when you're the Mariners and
you have the best catcher in baseball, one of the
top five players in baseball, it's a little easier to
move a guy like this. Harry Ford is a guy
that prospects lists liked a heck of a lot more
than general managers, obviously, and that's what happens. Yes, it's

(07:56):
by what they got in return. It one hundred thousand
percent because you know, and there was a lot of
talk about the Mariners refuse to move Harry Ford for
On Duran, and that, you know, because Yon Duran is
a lot better picture than Jose Ferrara and would have
been a huge upgrade to what they have. And you
can't help but wonder how much he helps in Game seven.
Let's not think about that. If you are thinking about that,

(08:16):
I know a good place to go have yourself with cocktail.
But here's what I basically have found out or have
been told. Yes, Harry Ford was part of the hang
up with the Minnesota Twins. It wasn't Harry Ford for
you on Durant and they just said they wouldn't do it.
It was Harry Ford and a really good prospect and

(08:37):
another good prospect and probably worth looking at a player
to be named later that was pretty solid. That's the
reason that trade doesn't get done. The end of the
I do I do. I don't think I think they
are a better baseball team because of it, and uh,
I would absolutely bring back Mitch Garver.

Speaker 6 (08:55):
I think that you.

Speaker 5 (08:56):
Know, I've heard the Morning show a certain guy is
not a huge fan of bringing Mitch Garver back, and
I respectfully disagree. I think that his familiarity with the
staff is really important. I think he was more than
competing against left handed pitchers. You know what you have here, right,
Like if you're talking about like a one year, three
million dollar deal something along those lines, Chris, not gonna.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Be quick question for you. Sure, there's a lot of
people kind of take your postcast partner. Yes, it is
thinking about kind of the future now, because Harry Ford
was your biggest catcher prospect in a lot of people's eyes.
But there's a lot of people that believe Luke Stevenson
was actually a bigger prospect or a more has a
higher ceiling moving forward. Are you one of those people?

Speaker 5 (09:37):
I am so glad you asked that that's the top
catching that is their top catching prospect. And here's a
little bit of a hot take. I think he was
a better prospect than Harry Ford. It okay, and that
is he was at North Carolina. He was the thirty
fifth pack right around those lines. He's a better offensive
prospect North Carolina. Yeah, so didn't have as good of

(09:57):
a sophomore season as his robust fresh mean year. But
a guy who can hit, a guy that they really
liked behind the plate, a guy who I could see
advancing pretty quickly when count Rawling needs to make that move.
Then yeah, but yeah, I think Luke Stevenson was their
best catching prospect.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
All right, good stuf, Chris could see Anyboddy, Great to
see you. Uh nice, nice, try to take over with postcast.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
But that's a good question.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
All right, all right, that was actually actually good. I
was gonna ask, right, No, I did not knowing, Lucy was.
I was gonna ask you.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Thanks for checking your text.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
Anders.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
I really appreciate it that you guys retreat. All right.

they are somewhere too.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
It's amas great. Ye well listen.

Maple Valley Open which helped so many great causes Jordan
Morris Foundation, Avery Huff and DIAPG and of course Oldlinsky's
Hope as well more on Chambers Bay Distillery. Great place

(11:18):
to shop for the holidays, by the way, in a moment,
but really happy right now to be joined on the
Beacon Plumbing Hotline by the new president at Washington State University,
doctor Elizabeth Betsy Cantwell joined us right now, Doctor Cantwell,
thanks for coming on.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
I appreciate it today.

Speaker 9 (11:34):
Yeah, my pleasure. I'm happy to talk with you and.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Our listeners and all the Cougar fans over here on
the west side of the state, all the Washington State supporters,
the lums and so forth. Even though Chambers Bay is
owned by a couple of Huskies, but you know what,
these are good guys. They're good Huskies over here, so
we like these guys let's get into where we are
with everything going on. It's been a tumultuous time for
Washington State athletics and I think CAMP as a whole,

(12:00):
and I know you've come in there with some ideas
to change things. You've done that in French administration building,
but obviously a sports radio show, we want to talk
about athletics first of all. Jimmy Rodgers leaving, was that
a surprise and what is your reaction here a few
days later?

Speaker 9 (12:15):
Yeah, it was a surprise, but a few days later,
let me say, it's not the kind of thing that
we It is the kind of thing that we see
all over the place right now in college athletics. As
I'm sure everybody has noticed, there's Rubik's cubes of change
going on everywhere. The difference for us at WSU and

(12:38):
a lot of what else is going on there is
that we're part of a startup conference as well. So
the old PAC twelve is the old PAC twelve. The
new PAC twelve is a startup and there is no
other startup conference out there. So we have all the
interesting parts of that and all the change parts of
that as well. Well.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
And you were, for people don't know you were part
of that because you were at Utah State Universe before
coming to Washington State, and so you you obviously are
bullish on the conference before I get to us, specifically
when you were at Utah State leaving the Mountain West
and coming to this conference and now part of one
of the two I guess anchor tenants of the old
the old school guys with WAZU in Oregon State. What

(13:16):
is it about the new PAC twelve, doctor Campwell, that
had you excited even when you were in your previous job.

Speaker 9 (13:23):
So in my previous job, what we recognized about the
PAC twelve going forward was yes, it is going to
be new, but it carries with this amazing brand that
will draw I mean, if you think about it from
a media perspective, it's going to draw a lot of
interest and attention. And we can use that even if
we are at the old PAC twelve. We will galvanize

(13:44):
the folks that come and start to pay attention to
us when the conference kicks off in June of twenty
twenty six, and then we've got you know, the Potato Bowl.
We are playing against Utah State University and for all
the coves out there come and support our young men
have worked so hard to get your It's gonna be
a great game.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Is that the Doctor campt Will Bowl? Is that what
that is?

Speaker 1 (14:05):
I mean, that's a I just think that's your old
school or your new school going at it, and a
preview of what's to come in the in the new
Pac twelve.

Speaker 9 (14:13):
Yeah, that's the cool part. It's a preview of what's
to come. And you will see that both of these
teams are scrappy, but also do not underestimate how good
they are.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
One of the things and every and I'm gonna be
very general here, but I do believe this is the case.
I have heard so many presidents school presidents over the
course of the last ten twelve years say the fault
and athletic directors will say the same thing, but presidents,
I know Doctor Floyd said this. I've heard other school
presidents say it. That athletics are the front door to

(14:45):
a university. And I know that one of your I
know one of your goals is to get enrollment up
at Washington State, and I think it was never higher
than it was during some of the Mike Leach years.
I know when I went there it was good, and
then even especially when Mike Price was going to the Rose Bowl.
When the jenna is we're going to tournaments and so forth,
that helps open the door. Gonzaga is the best example
I can think of when I was coming out I'm

(15:07):
old doctor Camptwell, Gonzaga was a nothing burger when I
was coming out of high school and I was a
Catholic kid in Seattle. Gonzaga is now a thing. And
I think it's because of Mark Few and basketball. How
important are athletics to you and Washington State University? And
I guess that also includes the question of how much
are we willing to invest?

Speaker 9 (15:25):
Yeah, so let's back off of the investment question for
a moment, because investment means everything from I spend sixty
percent of my personal time paying attention to and participating
in all of our developments around athletics. Why you know,
the old phrase was the front door. The new thinking,
or at least my new thinking, is that they're every

(15:46):
vector of change is coming for Higher ed at the moment.
What athletics represents to us is a way to learn
about how to be part of a change management system
that puts us in the forefront. And yes, athletics are
the doorway through which many people who never have a
chance to come to college still see college. It attracts,

(16:06):
It is the place where we get to feel like
we are all in this together. It is and really
that is what public higher education service institutions like ours
were built for, is to be part of communities, to
represent what everybody can see themselves in. Athletics is our
best example of that, and going forward, we will definitely,

(16:29):
even in the face of being a startup and seeing
all of the change with nil and whatever form of
conference realignment happens at some point in the future, that
will remain. And so if you drive right down to yes,
people will want to come to us and enroll with us.
Whether they are whether there are young students who want
to come and live in dorms and have that in

(16:50):
person experience, or whether they are people who are in
their forties or fifties and it's time to go get
something different. They will come to us because of athletics
as much as anything else.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Doctor Elizabeth Cantwell, Washington State University President, joining us, and
I always like to mention Bill Mousey did a great
job of this back in the day. Washing State University,
the state of Washington School the system with campuses all
across the state, from Pullman to Spokane, to Tri Cities
to Everett, down to Vancouver as well. And so you've
got a lot going on, and I want to clarify
one thing. I just want to make sure. Did you
say you spend sixty percent of your time on athletics, Well.

Speaker 9 (17:24):
In this past week, indeed I have. Indeed I have,
But you know I do. It is there is so
much change going on in athletics, and I do pay attention.
It's one of the criteria that you know, everybody in
our athletics program knows that the president pays attention. I'm
not in the knickers of the work that they're doing.

(17:45):
I'm not telling people what to do. But going forward,
any coach that we have, any athletics leadership that we have,
knows that they will not only have my backing, but
they'll be talking to me on a really regular basis.
That does take time, and I'm fully prepared to commit
that time.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Doctor Campwell, it comes first, chicken or egg in other words,
athletic director of football coach. I'm assuming football coach first,
or what's the priority, rightball coach?

Speaker 9 (18:08):
Yeah? Okay, yeah, and you know there's some drivers. You
never know exactly what's going to happen. And I will
just say we are, you know, talking to a number
of people. But that said, it's really early stages. And
do not ask me about who, but but it's the
football coach is going to come first. And in this moment,
you know, we're seeing a change in in athletics that says,

(18:32):
what's the structure and how do we drive our athletics
program that you know lived in the days of the
Pac twelve and large money and we now have to
come It's not small money, but it is different and
it really defines what a startup is. A startup has
to work with what they've got. Startups are, you know,
figure out how to get it done. And that is

(18:52):
the ethos and mentality. And it does drive to how
much money we have are we willing to invest? We
are investing right and left, but we don't have the
same I mean, it's just palpable. We don't have the
same amount of actual money coming in the door from
media rights deals for the conference. I'm fine with that.

(19:12):
I came out of that. That's with Utah State. We
did great things at Utah state, it's a fabulous school,
gets a lot done, and so will we at WSU.
Do I have a moment just to sort of give
I think maybe my sound bites for what we're looking
for as a coach.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
It's you, it's you, go ahead, The floor is yours
go ahead?

Speaker 9 (19:32):
Yeah, because I have just a minute left. And you
know this really drives from my perspective that we are
in a startup era, so we need a builder who
has that you know, fire in the belly for what
that means to be in a startup era program. With
this new conference, you know, everybody's got to be at
some level able to manage talent and culture and strategy

(19:55):
in this new era. But really having nil and port fluency,
I call it. That's super important to us right now,
in this time when the portal has to be looked
at not as an impediment but a strategic tool. We
definitely need someone who's got some demonstrated you know, a

(20:17):
success let's call it in this contemporary college football game,
which is you know, between now and the next time
everything goes up in the air with media, ride deals
and conferences change again. It is it is went of
really driving culture, driving with nil and portal as tools,
not as impediments, and really getting the absolute most out

(20:41):
of the incredible young men who come to us to
serve us as student athletes.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
I know you got to go.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
I got one final question real quick, and I think
it is important for people on our side of the state,
on the west side of the state. In Seattle, where
frankly the majority of Washington State University of lums live,
we hear all.

Speaker 9 (20:57):
The priority everybody lives.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
So yes, as far as nil and donations here, I
hear often doctor cantwell, well we don't have the whales,
we don't have this. We don't I always hear the
we don't have thing. There's two things that jump out
with that. One is I think you know, and I'm
sure you're looking for someone who's a great fundraiser as
an athletic director. I think that I think we all
agree that's the priority to find that there is money

(21:21):
on this side of the state, but there's also money
outside of the state. When people say, well, we just
don't have the financial wherewithal or the backing, whether it's
you know, corporate executives at one of the Fortune five
hundred companies here or again out of state. I know
the Texas Tech for example, their biggest donor isn't even
in Texas right now, So like, how do you find someone?
How do we find those people to get to the

(21:43):
point of NIL and get to the point where you
and the and the new athletic director and the football
coach feel like, hey, we've got sufficient funding for who
and what we are. Can that happen? You believe that
can happen.

Speaker 9 (21:55):
I do believe that can happen. You are asking all
the right questions. We are absolutely driving down every one
of those pathways and to those people out there, and
there are many, and I understand it. Who go You know,
I just don't like NIL. It feels inchy compared to
the way things used to be done in the past.
My answer is it's here standalone. We're not going to

(22:16):
fight it. We're going to use it. We're going to
make it a tool that we use to our advantage.
And that is the moment that we are in. Because
NIL leads to healthy football, leads to healthy athletics, leads
to a healthy university. They are inextricably linked right now today,
and that's the bandwagon to get on. You are absolutely
right we have there is wells both in the WSU

(22:41):
system of alumni as well as people who look at
the state of Washington and go those guys deserve at
least two highly viable competitive football programs as we move
into the new era.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
If I can squeeze one more quick one in here,
because people ask me this, I said they were going
to have you on today, and this was something that
came up a lot of folks. Cougar football Saturdays are
special things. I'll just tell you this. My three quarters
of my family, my wife and I went to Wazoo.
We met there. We've been married for thirty two years.
My daughter is in College of Education grad and is
her seventh year of teaching. School on this side of
the state. Were diehard coops. Yeah, and my son's a

(23:17):
Whitworth guy, but that's okay. He played football up there,
but we love him anyway. But we're all Koogs. Cougar
football Saturdays. I've heard a lot of negative things about
the experience this past year or two, whether it be
concessions entry, the game day experience. I know you witness
it for the I went to one game this year.
I thought it was I'll just be honest with you,

(23:38):
just okay, felt kind of weak to be honest with you.
That has to be better, right and when what can
you tell fans who maybe didn't have a great experience
last year or two.

Speaker 9 (23:47):
So we were on board with that, and I would
say the last few home games that I've been to,
the every game, the fan experience is improving. The things
I'll point to for next year is we have now
got the positioning with funding to make sure that we
have the new scoreboard and new inside the stadium experiences.
We've got alcohol in the stands, We've got a whole

(24:09):
plethora of things happening right outside the stadium. Keep an
eye on us. It is getting better and better and
better every game.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Well, listen in doctor Cantwell, we trust as Cougar's I
love the fact that not just athletics, but also trying
to raise admissions and get more people back over to
what is the best college experience I can ever think of?
Is one of your priorities, and I think it's We
love what we're seeing so far from you. Welcome to Washington.
Welcome to Washington State University. When you're on the West side,

(24:41):
sometime when you're over here, on the west side of
the state, and I know you're all over the place
all the schools.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Please stop by.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
We'd love to have you in studio for a conversation,
and so we'll try to make that happen in the meantime.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Go koogs, and thanks for joining us.

Speaker 10 (24:53):
Oh Kobs, there you go.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Thank you doctor Elizabeth Cantwell joining us here on the
Beacon Plumbing hotline. And we really appreciate her joining us today.
That was that was awesome. I got a chance to
catch up with her a little bit earlier today. I
just Andrews, I'm gonna throw this to you real quick,
all right, because Jess and I are we're gonna be biased.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yeah, yep.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
I like what I hear from her. I like her attitude.
I just look at her resume. I think she gets
today's college athletics. And I'm not talking from even just
from a wazoo perspective. I think she gets today's college
athletics landscape. Anything jump out at you, Andrew.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
Yeah, I like it's it's a balance for me for
someone in her role to be aware of the situation
that you're in in comparison to the rest of the landscape,
but also know that you need to push the boundary
a little bit. And I think she has both of
those things. And the one thing that you understand, understand
who you are exactly exactly.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
And not just you know, complain about it.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
Right, right, and you want to go back to where
you were twenty or the world that was twenty years
ago or whatever.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
Right.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
There's a lot of college football fans that want that,
which you know, I don't hate, but like, you can't
do that as an administer, right, doesn't work. But also
pushing the boundary, like you need to kind of make
sure that you're catching up to the rest of the
world in that aspect. And one thing that really stood
out to me that surprised me is the fact that
she wants to hire a football coach before an athletic director,

(26:19):
which is I don't want to want to say backwards,
but I think a person would normally kind of walk
up saying, you know, you'd want your athletic director to
hire the football coach, but I think just in terms
of the urgency, it seems like it's the other way around.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
It's an interesting dynamic because your athletic director is usually
in charge of the entire athletic department, including the football coach.
In this case, whoever gets hired as a football coach
because of that, right, it's going to say, well, yeah,
that's cool. Can't well hire me?

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Right? Yeah, doctor, can'twell hired me? Not you, right?

Speaker 1 (26:49):
But that's also good because the buck stops there at
the very top at French out of the upper campus.
I like what you said though. I think that's true
and thought of it. Those terms you can take in
today's call landscape, and I just I sometimes Bristol with
the have and the have not comment because I think, really,
to be honest with you, there's a couple halves and

(27:09):
everyone else is I have not notre dame, your have
not today?

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Sorry, I know you well.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
They choose not, but they're also a have not because
they got bypassed for the ACC team that wasn't even
the ACC championship game, So your have not. There are
very few halves. There's always a bigger fish with very
few exceptions. And so I look, I look at these
and I'm just kind of like, man, understand where you are,

(27:39):
and Andergy was well said, understand who and where you are,
Understand the landscape, and do something about it. Think outside
the box, and I think that's what you have to do.
You're right, all of us, ges you're with me. I'm
sure I'd like to go back twenty years in time,
be in the old packed. I don't even want the
damn Pac twelve. Screw you Utah and Colorado.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
Utah, and I was.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
In Utah and I and I would have loved to
had Utah in the Pack ten. Make it to Pack eleven.
I don't need. But I look back in retrospect, you know,
the biggest mistake that was made was taking Colorado over
b y U.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yeah and yeah, and then.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
There were a lot of really big mistakes. There were
a lot of big mistakes. At the near the top
of the list of big mistakes was that b YU
not getting in because why was it b WHYU not
in because they're not a research institution? Shut up like
stop it. And then the other part, obviously was the
revenue split between UCL and u USC and they wanted

(28:38):
to get more, which, by the way, when if the
Big ten does what they want to do, which maybe
they will, maybe they won't, there's gonna be the tier system,
and that tier system will be Penn State Michigan, Ohio
State one second tier Ohio State or I'm sorry USC
and Oregon and then move on. All right, good stuff.
We had quick daily power Play Lane Lambert Jordan everbly

(28:59):
not happy. In fact, I say borderline pissed off after
last night that John Lonn talking all things NFL at
two o'clock nine three point three kJ FM.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Here come the Crack.

Speaker 8 (29:10):
If you have suffers, this is the daily power play
Power Hockey on your home for the Kracking Sports Radio

(29:33):
ninety three point three kJ R f M.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Crack.

Speaker 8 (29:39):
The Daily power Play is brought to you by KWAHA,
the logest inventory of Kamoda equipment in Kane County.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
Now your daily.

Speaker 8 (29:49):
Look at the National Hockey League and the Seattle Kraken
with the INFERNETZA.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
It's a daily power play on your home for the
Crack in ninety three point three k jr FM.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
One of these days called more than one goal in
the game for one of the one.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
I knew it would be a low event game last
night for one finals uh.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
McDonald one against the Kings too.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Yikes, yeah, yikes. Grooby was great last night. He was
you know what, I'm just happy. Phil Grubert is pretty
good guy and I'm happy for him. He was so
not good last year and this year he has really been.
He's been really good. He's been outstanding. Yeah, he looks
calm in the net, looks confident in the net. Good

(30:36):
for Germany because he's playing for them in the Olympics ice. Yeah,
but he's been. He was great last night, gave them
a chance to win. They fall four to one. He
only gave up two goals. The other two were empty netters.
But it's a it's a tough start. Here's the positive.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Before we get to the negative.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Uh, they did score a power play goal last night
on a team in Minnesota that had not given up
a power play goal in nine straight games games. Think
about that, nine straight games. They had not given up
a power play goal. Seattle had also given up a
power play in seven of the previous eight opportunities with
the opposition. I've never seen that at any level of hockey.
Like the power the penalicule was awful. PK was perfect

(31:14):
last night three for three. Yep, power play scored a goal.
That was good. What was bad they lost again and
the offense was non existent for the most part. So
after the game, some pointed words you'll hear first from
the captain, Jordan Ebley and then hit coach Lane Lambert.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
We need to find a little bit better from everybody.

Speaker 11 (31:31):
You know, you can say we're working hard, competing, but
I just think that, you know, we need to find
a little bit more from every single guy. I think
that comes down and I've said this before, I think
that the line between winning and losing is so thin.
You feel like, I mean, obviously we've lost six to
row now, and you know, you feel like you're it's
not great, like you don't feel good, and I think

(31:54):
you have to realize that, you know, a little bit
here puts you over that edge and you start winning again.
But yeah, I mean we got to find a way.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
Jordan just told us that he thinks we need a
little bit and you guys need a little bit more
from everybody.

Speaker 9 (32:09):
How do you feel about that take on it?

Speaker 4 (32:11):
And also how do you think the team played tonight?

Speaker 12 (32:14):
I thought we started the game slowly, which you know,
when you've lost four in a row and I'm you know,
I haven't won a game in five, that's disappointing to me.
I thought our goaltender was outstanding tonight. Gave us a
chance to win. I would agree with his assessment that
we need more from everybody. You know, we we have

(32:34):
to have everybody playing well and we just can't afford
to have any passengers. And I didn't think I didn't
think everyone brought their best tonight.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
William Lamb brought some point in words as well as
a captain Jordan Eberley, who did score sales only goal
last night. And I have no complaints about the play
of Everly this year, no complaints about the play of
Matty Veneers this year.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
Mon tour done. By the way, did you see the
check last Jess? Were you? Were you in the Tunnel
Club when Vince Dunn had his hit? Yep, yeah, I
was right there.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
I don't know why everyone's up in arms.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
It was a clean hit, clean hit well because we
I booed different world. We live in a different world.
But it was shoulder to shoulder and it was one
of the best body checks you'll see that.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
I had my say at the glass.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
I'm sure you did. Did you slap it nice and hard?

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Slap the glass? Get after it?

Speaker 2 (33:25):
I was that aggressive because I feel like I'm too
aggressive sometimes.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
I'm gonna ask I'm gonna ask the I'm gonna ask
the part time sometimes fill in pre and post game
host of the Crack and Audio Network. Who is that
Anderson Hurst? I think you're doing a game next Monday, right, No? Two,
two weeks in two weeks? Twenty second, yes, twenty second, Yes,
when Mikey's down in LA. Yeah, since I don't want
to say it, who the name? One, two or three? Passengers?

(33:51):
And by the way, that's where of the great that's
one of the great terms in sports. Hockey uses it.
I don't hear another sports. You're just a passenger right now.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
And that, by the way, you're doing nothing exactly. That
means you're like you're along for the ride, you're not
adding anything to it.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
It feels free to use that in your daily life
with a co worker. Yeah, you're just a passenger. You're
not carrying your weight, You're doing nothing.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
Really, it's a total just shot across me.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Give me a passenger or two, and.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
An easy one would be Mason Marchmant number twenty seven.
I think he's that was their big off season acquisition
and he has not added much to this team. A
passenger would be a perfect way to describe him, I'd
say Jamie Alexias another one of those. I haven't been
super impressed with Elie Tolvin, to be honest, those have
been kind of the three that I'm looking at.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Okay, so I would not disagree. All right, use that
in your daily vernacular. Now, you're a passsenger. Just just
walk by somebody in the office and go, you're just
an absolute passager.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Oh god, there's so many.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
There's so many. I say, that's my husband.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
You're actually my wife would probably say the same thing.
And you're just a passenger in this household. Right now,
let's say it to John Lund. John Lund is a passenger.
He'll join us talking all things NFL.

Speaker 8 (35:04):
Then, now from the Star Rentals Sports desk, your ninety
three point three kJ RFM sports headlines.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
All right, headlines are brought to you by Frost Brewed
cors Light Shoes, Chill, hang out Chambers, Beata Stillery.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Today, let's go huh, that's surrounded by a lot of huskies.
Right now, I'll tell you that, hikes, I'm not sure
about that situation. We are here. Let me turn that there.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Okay, what we've got Daniel Jones going to the Colts
track and lose last night.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Let's get to John Lund right now. Let's get to it.

Speaker 8 (35:37):
Come on, Welcome to Ian's weekly visit with John Lund Unleashed.
He's a Bay Area media icon who's known Ian for
over twenty five years. But don't let their age change
your opinion of them. John takes you through the Bay Area,
ND the NFC West and dukes it out with the
inn Over, the Niners and the Hawks.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
So let's unleash it now with John n Here.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
Are we waiting on lunch still? I just texted him
he should be there?

Speaker 4 (36:06):
Got him?

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Hey, what's up, buddy? How are you.

Speaker 10 (36:11):
You there?

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Jack?

Speaker 12 (36:13):
What to?

Speaker 4 (36:15):
Of course?

Speaker 10 (36:15):
I'm here? What do you mean to my here?

Speaker 9 (36:17):
Are you there?

Speaker 10 (36:18):
You just sent me a picture of you drinking. You
don't really know.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
I did not send you a picture of me drinking.
I sent you a picture of where I'm at.

Speaker 10 (36:27):
Okay, let me get this straight. I've known you for
a long time. You're in a bar, and I know
there's bottles of liquor there, So are you telling me
you're not drinking?

Speaker 3 (36:35):
All right?

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Let me let me clarify where I'm at. I wouldn't
I wouldn't call this a bar. I think it's more
of a tasting.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Room, right, wonderful. Yeah, it's more of a taste yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
I mean it's it's Chambers being still rey Craft Distillery.
They it's so nice and I should reset while we're
here today.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
They support the golf tournament, the Marry Maple Valley Open. Uh.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Every year they have a thing you'll like this. I'll
send you a picture of this when we're done, because
I can't multitask, but i'll see you a picture when
i've done.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
That little thing called their Whiskey Wagon.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
It's a trailer and it looks like an old school
kind of back you know, like from the old West
wagon and it's a traveling bar. And so they bring
that up. So they bring that up to our golf
tournament every year and they donate everything. Vodka, Ghost Dog Whiskey,
their top end whiskey is they donate everything, and you
buy a cocktail. It's a charity cocktail and all the

(37:29):
money goes to our charities, Whinskey's Hope, Every Huffman, DPG
Foundation and Jordan Moore Foundation. So we come down here.
I force myself to come down here and do a
two hour show to thank them every December and encourage people.
If you're buying some spirits for the holidays as a gift,
there's no better place to come than Chambers Beta Stillery.

(37:51):
But I do think, in all seriousness, I thank these
guys immenseally because what they do for our golf tournament
is second to none. We couldn't do what we do
and raise money without these guys, So I thank them
a lot, that's all.

Speaker 10 (38:03):
I don't want to get off the track too much.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
And the happy hour I'll start at three o'clock officially.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Right I'm drinking water. I've got water into like a
Moscow mule cup right now. You think, what kind of
tease is that?

Speaker 7 (38:12):
Right?

Speaker 10 (38:14):
You do not have water in there? But whatever, you know,
whatever the bosses are listening or something whatever, like they
don't even believe that.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
But first of all, I always thought.

Speaker 10 (38:22):
That, you know, talking sports where a living was kind
of cheating. But I got distillery. I mean, come on,
I'd love to I drive that wagon you're talking about
for free.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
My god, well you know what alf.

Speaker 10 (38:31):
The wagon constantly? But man, that is that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Alan the owner is sitting right here.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
I'll tell him. One says he'll drive that thing for free.
He'll drive that gonna say R give a Yeah, he'll drive.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Up here from from Let's let's go.

Speaker 10 (38:48):
Awesome.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
Yeah, it's if you if you like good good bourbon
like or good gin I do, okay, then this is
this is your place. I'm not a Vodky guy. I'm
told the ron vodka, Sea Salt and fused hangs out
over Chambers Bay, literally in the barrel. I heard that
as fan murf.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
Good.

Speaker 10 (39:06):
Yes, a couple of blue cheese olives in there. Come on,
you gotta be kidding me.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
Yeah, they got wonderful. Hey, have you ever done trivia?
You ever done the tribe anything? They have trivia that's
like a that's like a thing here like trivia.

Speaker 10 (39:19):
It depends on the trivia. I'm not a Jeopardy guy.
I'm not really you know that kind of stuff. You
do a little sports. We could do that, but you know,
like Jeopardy, I said, there, like kidding me.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
I can't do that stuff. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
We have my buddy Aaron Levine, who's our Fox thirteen.
He used to work with them over Fox thirteen, is
our sports anchor here. He just was on Jeopardy. But
what three weeks ago and or something like that, three
four weeks ago and like did well, like he won
three days in a row. But he's a Stanford guy. Like, yeah,
I was.

Speaker 10 (39:45):
That's so funny you say that. A guy who was
a beat writer for the San Francisco Giants. His name
is Andrew Baggerley. He won like ten times in a row.
Like sports guys, no other stuff that those those nerds,
they don't know any sports. That's one of the funniest
things ever when they do sports categories, it's amazing anything.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
We do have a group of sports guys. Bob Candoa
Bob Condona is a Seahawks beat writer for The Times.
Uh and our old producer Kevin Shockey and Alex Kids.
A bunch of guys, sports guys around town. They they
do they do that. They do the trivia thing every week.
And I went with them one time because they were
in the Maple Valley. Hey, come by and see this.

(40:21):
We're for Ellis. This place for Ellis. I'm like, yeah,
come by. I sat there with these guys. I didn't
know one answer. Literally, I felt like the dumbest guy
in the world. So all right, John, He's talking all
things NFL. We get to all things NFL to go. Hey,
how about Daniel Jones coming out of retirement to play
for the Colts. Philip, sorry, Daniel Joses.

Speaker 10 (40:42):
Philip Rivers has kids that are as old as players
on the Colts. They were saying, he's a grandpa.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
He's a grandpa.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
He's forty, he's a grandpa.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (40:53):
Yes, and he's got kids that are older than players
on the Colts right now. And it just so happens, like,
you know, the Seahawks play the Colts, the Niners in
two weeks play the Colts. I mean, you know, you
look at the schedule and it looks kind of daunting,
and one of the reasons why the Niners are going
to be able.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
To hang around.

Speaker 10 (41:07):
They play year old Buddy cam Word this weekend. The
Titans stink, and then they play I don't know how
much Rivers is going to play this weekend, but he's
going to probably play against the forty nine ers because
what they have stinks, So all of a sudden, it's
a forty four year old against the Niners. And then
they play the Bears, who are gonna fall in their face,
I believe, And then it comes down to the Seahawks
and the forty nine ers. I mean that's you know,
everybody wonders how the Niners are going to stay in

(41:28):
this thing. Well they've got the Titans, the Colts, what
used to be the Bears, and then it comes down
to that last game.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Well I think part of it, too, John, is that
I look at this thing. We talked about this earlier,
the lack of quality backup quarterbacks or maybe just quarterbacks
as a hole in the NFL. Yeah, it's it's mind boggling,
Like it really is when you think about it. You
look around, you know, football and every year in college. Now,
this is an interesting year because I know you've probably

(41:55):
talked about this with your stuff. This year in college football.
All these guys are supposed to be generational quarterbacks coming
out of college. They aren't that, right, Kate Klubnick remember him?
You know, Yeah, arch is gonna have to arch Is
gonna have to stay in school for another year.

Speaker 10 (42:12):
The only guy who I mean, Mendoza, looks like he's
a franchise quarterback. The part the problem right now is
like you go up to Oregon to look at their kid,
I'm not I'm not drafting any more of these kids
it's on their first year, or Simpson the kid from Alabama,
or any of these guys, these first year starters, you
got to put them back in the oven.

Speaker 13 (42:29):
Man.

Speaker 10 (42:29):
They've they've got to play more. And because you see
this all the time, I mean, i mean, look where
you are with Donald. I mean, look, I know we're
going to talk about Donald, but you know it took
him getting righted by Kyle Shanahan, the magic hand of
the great Kyle Shanahan, to to kind of get his
career back on track. I mean, he goes to New
York and nobody blames the organization, and nobody blames that
they don't put the right people around an offensive line

(42:51):
or give them up offensively. I mean, you're gonna draft
one of these guys, you've got to make sure that
you say, Okay, we're gonna invest in the quarterback. We've
got to get a line, we got to get weapons,
we've got to get the right quarterback. Like all of
the is so dependent on all that. And they think
that Sam Darnold's going to go to New York save
a franchise with a third overall pick that has no
culture of winning, nothing around him and it's like, Okay,

(43:11):
we're gonna stick in the middle of this and he's
gonna go. Really, I mean, that's now he comes to
a place or you know, he goes to San Francisco,
he goes to Minnesota, he goes to Seattle, he goes
to places where he fits what they're doing. They put
people around him and low and behold. It's not a
talent issue. One guy, generally speaking, is not going to
save the franchise. And that's what all these teams think. So,
like you said, college ball, you know, you've got to

(43:33):
have a few years under your belt. Then you've got
to go to the right situation. There's so many factors
and then we just stamp from busts kits. They can't
play any year like cam warden Tennessee. How is cam
Ward supposed to succeed in Tennessee this year? He's got
no chance.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
And you know what, John Lone joining his Pro Football
Wire at PFB wire. You can find that on the
accident of course on YouTube as well. We'll tell you
about that at the end. I'm going to tell you
right now, I thought that Dante Moore thing is right.
You're right on with that one year start kind of
a kind of a one and a half year starter.
He had that little stint at UCLA but which was

(44:05):
just an absolute disaster. But can't like cam Ward year
one at Wazoo, nobody was saying, boy, this guy's this
guy's a lot of character, this guy's a top ten pick,
much less number one overall. Year two he was better
and took some steps forward. Still, I mean, you ask
every Cougar fanly like, okay, man, we're not still sure.

(44:26):
Then he goes to Miami and he takes that next step, right,
And it wasn't because he went to Miami just he
needed three years and that was actually his fourth year
of college football, right because he played in cardate word
like I'm with you, like like given these guys the
keys of the kingdom with a high pick right off
the get go. Anthony Richardson is a great example. I mean,
I know we busted out of the socket with a rubber band,

(44:46):
but you know, I mean that's.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
Which which all.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
First of all, you wouldn't do that because it involved exercise,
Like like I understand what he was doing solid point,
So there was some sort of aerobic activity taking place
at that point.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
But you know, like.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
Richards is a great example that's like yeah this No, no,
you're not it, You're not it.

Speaker 10 (45:14):
But way, I mean he came out as a sophomore
and it was like all he did was run another
then we're gonna Shane Stiking comes in. It's like you know,
thistless Eagles offense, Like come on, man, you know that's
not gonna work. It's just it's like a lottery ticket.
You have no chance.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
But anyway, yeah, no, it's but that's it. Are we enjoying?
Are you enjoying?

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Like we know, you got to be kind of more
I guess subjective or not objective rather than I should say,
because you're working for this big thing called pro football wire. Yeah,
but can we enjoy it? Can we quietly enjoy the
demise of the Chiefs. I'm tired of them, I'll be honest.

Speaker 10 (45:50):
Oh, nobody enjoys the demise of the Chiefs more than
Northern California and than forty nine or spans the fact
that they couldn't figure it out. But yeah, it's it is.
It's pretty amazing. And I you know, I was one
who thought, no way, like I'm not counting out the Chiefs.
I'm not counting out the Chiefs, not gowning out of
the chief just because I thought defensively they would be
good enough. But to be honest with you, you know
this time, this is why you don't anoint somebody too fast,

(46:15):
because look, I'm not saying the Mahomes doesn't have talent.
I yeah, okay, they're missing a lot offensive linemen. I
get that, and they're missing receivers. I get that. But
let's go back to the guys that we said were
the greatest of all time. Like Tom Brady didn't play
with the greatest. You can hate him all you want.
He played with Gronk okay, who else, Randy Moss for
one year. You know, they got the right offensive line
around him. But he never had the best of the best.

(46:36):
And I'll even say, like when you talk about Montana,
he had so much going for him with Walsh and
the offensive line and the type of guys he had
around him, or Drew Brees or things like that, but
Peyton Manning elevated guys around him. And again Marvin Harris
and I get it, Reggie Wayne, Edrin James, but there
were times where there just wasn't those guys around and
what the Patriots did basically with with Belichick at the

(46:57):
rains was we're not gonna get you a skilled players
because Brady's that good. So everybody annoyed it Patrick Mahomes
and just said, well, he's the greatest, he's this, he's that,
he's the fastest to this, he's the fastest to that.
Well you take a few of those weapons away and
guess what, He's just not that. So look, I like Mahomes,
but let's stop calling him the greatest this or the
greatest that. And Chris Collinsworth slow like Collinsworth, I don't

(47:20):
understand if he's watching the same game that I am,
every you know on Sunday nights and they have Mahomes
on like he was terrible and he's still giving this
guy all these accolades on Sunday night, I'm like, what
game is he watching him? How much whiskey is he drinking? Kidding?

Speaker 3 (47:34):
Well?

Speaker 1 (47:34):
Like the other The other part of it, too is
if you don't if you can't run the football at all,
right like and none, I still and we've got coach
Holmgren on tomorrow. I'm going to talk to him about
this because he's you know, Andy Reid he's tight with
and I want to ask him every coach I you
know we've ever heard from talk to whether it's interviewing
him one of the two of us or in a
press conference, whatever. You know, we got to be committed

(47:55):
to the run. We got to run the football, committed
to the run. But then you always hear the same thing,
and Michael tell us this, I'm sure it'll tell us
this tomorrow. To run the football and be quote committed
to the run, you have to be patient, like you
have to sit there and go okay. And honestly, that's
why that's one of the reasons they got rid of
Ryan Grubb here in Seattle. Mike mcdad got rid of
him because there was no patience like we're gonna run

(48:17):
the football. Okay, we'll run the football, no instand We're
gonna throw first, second, third down, and we're gonna have
long routes that take forever to develop and next thing
you know, Gino Smith's getting smoked right and getting hit. Well,
that was last year. But being committed to the run
is the first part about running the football. Kansas City's not.
I mean, I think every and I brought this up

(48:38):
yesterday with our buddy Mike Sando. We live in a
world of fantasy football and gambling, right, we all live
in that world now's and if the NFL wants to
bury the head in the sand, they can. But the
reality is we're we're watching those games because almost everybody
watching a game has juice on it, whether it's a player, prop, fan, duel, DraftKings, casino,
bet or fantasy football.

Speaker 3 (48:58):
So we're watching all these games, right, and we're doing
all these things.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
Well, how many times do you watch Isaiah Pacheco or
even Kareem Hunt. Well, okay, there's four yards, there's six yards,
first down, first and ten two runs, ten yards and
what does Kansas Cay do next? Throw deep, incomplete, throw deep, incomplete,
sack on third down. That's what they do, right, and
and they I mean there's no commitment to the run,

(49:23):
and you have to be committed. I mean that's Seattle
still struggles I think with that sometimes up here, like
with Ken Walker and Charbonney, but we're starting to see
more and more of Walker's developing, the offensive lines getting better.
You've got to run the football, and Kansas City is
reluctant to do that.

Speaker 10 (49:39):
Well, you know, and it does so many things. It
keeps an offense off the field and choose up the clock.
It tires out the other team like it, even it
goes beyond. And this is where I'll give Seattle a
ton of credit is Kun Kubiak has said we will
run the football. I mean, that's just we will run it. Hey,
you know what, maybe it's two and a half yards
or three yards and a cloud of dust, and it's
not exactly what we want. But there are so many

(49:59):
good things to running the football, and you better be
able to do it, especially if you're gonna have to
go on the road, if Seattle's not gonna win the
division and you know, be a five seat or something,
if you have to go to Green Bay, if you
go to Philly. Although, god, we can talk about the NFC.
Philly's done right, So Philly, Philly is just what Kansas
City is in the NFC. They are done. I don't
know what happened to Jalen Hurts. It's the same kind

(50:19):
of a situation. You know. He reminds me a little
bit of like Kaepernick one read. You know, if the
first read is not there for Jalen Hurts, he really struggles.
But anyway. You know, but you've got to be able
to run the football because there are other things other
than you know, fans look at the surface of it
a lot of times and they go, well, we got
three yards. Yeah, but you're grinding the other team, and
you're keeping the clock going, and you're and you're keeping
the other team's offense off the field. There are so

(50:41):
many different things. You know, you're you're you're exerting your
your physical dominance onto another team. There's just a lot
of things that the run game does for you. I mean,
if you look at the history, and I don't know
what McDonald's is, but like when Kyle Shanahan gets thirty
more or more runs, the Niners win like ninety percent
of their games, and if he doesn't get thirty or
more runs, they're like five hundred. I mean, it's just
that's as simple as that. You've got to be able.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
To do it.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
John n joining us, let's quickly talk about the NFC,
just because I think it's as you look through here,
I mean one through four seeds of the division leaders
right now, so you got West, Northeast, South, then after
that the next three teams in the postseason Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago,
West West North.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Yeah, the North has.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
And the next team the first Well, let's let's do
March madness. First team out North right in Detroit. Yeah,
it's it's that's what it is. Philadelphi, I mean, Dallas
isn't gonna get there, Carolina, doubtful. We pretty much know
who's going to get there right now. It's going to
be between Chicago and Detroit more than likely for that
last playoff spot.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
And as you.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
Mentioned, though, if I'm anybody not in a division lead,
if I'm anybody has to play a game Seattle, San Francisco,
I want to see Philadelphia, maybe even more so than Tampa,
to be honest with you, maybe more so than Tampa.

Speaker 10 (51:55):
Yeah, I think Philly's the worst team of the bunch,
even though I'm not a huge fan of Chicago, and
we know what what's happened to Tampa lately, and you know,
right now, if I'm a Seahak fan, I'm thinking of
that four or five going well, if we don't win
the division, it's not so bad. The only problem is
and this stinks for the playoffs in general, is okay?
So the last seed then plays the number one. The
number one is off, which obviously that's why you want

(52:15):
to get that. But what you're gonna get on divisional
weekend instead of in the NFC championship game is you're
gonna get Ram Seahawks, depending on where it is, because
if it stays where it is right now, the winner
of the NFC West, whether it be the Rams of
the Seahawks, get the number one seed, and then the
other team drops to the five. That's great, you play
Tampa or Carolina, probably Tampa, you go there, you win.
But the way it sits right now, then that means

(52:37):
the number one seed is going to play the worst
remaining seed, which is gonna be either the Seahawks or
the Rams. So you're gonna get that in the divisional
instead of the NFC championship game. As far as the
actual NFC, I don't believe in the Bears. I believe
none in the Eagles at all. The Packers, I think
are a team to be reckoned with. I just look,
I'd love to sit here and stoke the fire and
say that the Niners can do this, and I don't

(52:59):
know how solid is doing it. They have the best
defense in the league since week eleven. I know the
Seahawks are great, but he's keeping it together with you know,
chewing gum and chicken wire and duct tape and all
those kind of things. I just don't think they can
maintain it. They're gonna be up there and they're gonna fight.
That last game could be for the NFC West because
San Francisco has such an easy schedule, but come playoff

(53:20):
the time, I just don't think they're gonna be a factor.
So to me, it's Rams, Seahawks, and and and Packers.
I think those are the three teams.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
It's interesting because so Seattle beats the Rams a week
from Thursday and at that if that were to happen
and both teams win this week, then Seattle eleven and three,
eleven and three, Seattle would be twelve and three, the
Rams would be eleven and four, and then assuming Seattle
gets a win in Carolina, then yeah, San Francisco. I

(53:48):
don't know if it wud be for the division, but
it would. Here's a problem. Like we talked about the
team three way right there, maybe yeah, you'd have a
three way tie. The other part of it is, does
San Francisco play the Rams again?

Speaker 4 (53:59):
No?

Speaker 10 (54:01):
No, you know what they Yeah, they do play the Rams.
When I think about, yeah, they got them one more time. No, no,
they don't have them. I thought they did. What did
I think they did? They have the Titans, they have
the Colts and the Bears, and they have not the Seahawks. Yeah,
they split, they split.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
With the Rams, so a three way So that last
game of the year with Seattle and San Francisco could
mean something.

Speaker 10 (54:18):
Yeah, well that's gonna be huge. Yeah, that could be
for the division. I mean, I mean, it's crazy as
it sounds because everybody's talking about the Rams and the Seahawks,
and they should be. I think those are the two
best teams in the NFC clearly, although on a given day,
I think Green Bay could be in that conversation, especially
if it's at Lambeau. But based on the schedule, again,
they're playing the Titans at home. They're gonna win that game.

(54:39):
They're going to the Colts with maybe Philip Rivers the
team you'll see this weekend. They win that game. The Bears,
I just don't believe it. They're gonna get him in
San Francisco, and then that Seahawk game. They they could
go three and out. And I think they will in
the next three weeks. And so all of a sudden,
you know they're twelve and four going into that last game.
So Seattle does obviously control their destiny, but they're gonna

(55:00):
have to win in Santa Clair, your favorite stadium on Earth.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Well, as long as you this is softy favorite thing,
as long as you don't drink from the urinal in
the press box, you're fine.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
Again.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
The fact that you guys, the fact that you guys
have a sign there is just speaks volumes about whether
it be you or Matt Myoko or whoever it is,
whoever it is speaking, whoever's speaking to the fact you
have to put a sign in the urinal in the
press box, and Levi Stina says, do not drink this water.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
That's an indictment on somebody there, And sure as hell
isn't me because I only I used to go there
once a year, not every every week.

Speaker 10 (55:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:38):
Yeah, I have to say.

Speaker 10 (55:39):
In thirty years of doing this and many urinals, including
one in New Orleans by the way, that was a circular,
it was a this is an amazing conversation. But okay,
so they had the troughs right, which are very demeaning.
The troughs, which is just like, you know, if people
don't know this from older stadiums.

Speaker 3 (55:56):
Everyone the Kingdom knows them. Kingdom.

Speaker 10 (55:58):
Everybody just gets like is it going?

Speaker 3 (56:00):
Buddy?

Speaker 10 (56:01):
They've got one in New Orleans. I'm not kidding you.
It's circular. It's a circular trough. So you're just you're
across the other guy going hey man, god, did you good?
I mean, it's just like, what what are we doing?

Speaker 4 (56:14):
You're lucky at each other.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
You don't have to you don't have to look, but.

Speaker 4 (56:19):
You probably don't.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
But if you don't, you probably do.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
I have massive I'd have a massive stage right, to
be honest with.

Speaker 10 (56:27):
Stage right, We stand around. It's very a couple. It's
a circular trough in the Superdome and it's like what
who who thought of this?

Speaker 6 (56:36):
Well?

Speaker 10 (56:36):
Very I need a partition, you know.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
Yeah, this gives me some good talk to Softy about later. Okay, perfect,
all right, that's it. Tell people about the Football Wire.

Speaker 10 (56:49):
I know you said something, uh p mb wire on
all social media. Pro Football Wire on YouTube check us out.
We put all sorts of good stuff videos and discussions
and talk and all sorts of stuff, and we host
all sorts of things. And yeah, completely objective, even though
I'm in northern California and forty nine ers Land. Uh,
completely objective. Nothing against the Seahawks. I'm a big fan.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (57:09):
I know we didn't get a chance to talk to
Sam Darnold. I still am a little bit nervous. He didn't.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
He didn't.

Speaker 10 (57:13):
He didn't take my nerves away if I'm a Seahawks fan.
But we got to every other part.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
I think we just lost a lot. I can't hear him.
I lost a lot. I can't hear him.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
Get out here, all right, I'll talk to you. Shut up,

Uh, my friend Alan is here from Chambers Bata story.
I told you guys start of the show. We're down

Speaker 3 (58:22):
If you need like a kind of a baron where
we're at.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
But you know, today we all live in the world
of iPhones, right, just type in Chambers Batas stillory now
it'll be two the pop up by the way, you
want to go to the one on Bridgeport.

Speaker 6 (58:33):
You have the tasting room the center of youp right.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
Can't get any better than that.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
First and foremost, thank you. You guys do so much
for the golf tournament and so much for our three charities.
I cannot thank you enough what you guys donate every year,
coming up, bringing the wagon up there. It just adds
so much to the tournament. But you're a small business
and so I know the expenses is significant. But it
is not without a lot of gratitude, so thank you

(58:58):
for that.

Speaker 6 (58:59):
It's a win win win. It's for us, the charity
and the participants, so we're happy to do it.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
It's fun. Tell folks what you got going on here.
This is a you guys have been open for what
two years.

Speaker 6 (59:06):
Here, two years just last week, and we've got a
beautiful kind of a flagship tasting room full cocktails, food
bottles to go. Yeah, it's it's been been really a
great success that we're really happy.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
So for people that like good spirits, let's let's talk
about that for a second. Because now you finally got
the gin. Thank god, you're welcome. And it took two years,
three years, four years. I met you guys like six
years ago, and it's like it took a couple of years.
The gin is fantastic. But let's talk about the other spirits.
We'll start with the bourbons have.

Speaker 6 (59:37):
Yeah, bourbon is the core of the business. We have
four right now. So we didn't want to make just
a bourbon, right, We want to make a great bourbon
but with a great story. So we actually age our
bourbon in a floating boat house on page of sound.
So we do that because with the motion of the ocean,
there's more in action with the wood. You can imagine
bourbon gets roughly two thirds of the flavor from the wood.
We're speeding up the aging process. There's a great temperature

(01:00:00):
change out there. All those factors culminate into making a
great depending on the whiskey, three to six year bourbon.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
That's amazing. It still takes that long. You've got the
new one out right. This is the Captain's reserve.

Speaker 6 (01:00:12):
And that is a single barrel. At least we do
one a year and we basically cherry pick a barrel
we lit at age five years and it's gonna be
one of our best barrels. They're all different because they're
single barrel. Every barrel is different, so we're not blending
multiple barrels. But this might be one of my favorite
of the five we've released.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
And again, if you have someone in your life that's
in the holiday season that loves great bourbon, this is
to get this the greenhorn, the straight straight, whatever it is.
This is a support local support the craft disteeleries like you.

Speaker 6 (01:00:44):
Guys, We appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
I really encourage people do that. Come on down.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
You have other trinkets, stocking stuff for some other cool
stuff up there as well. The vodka, the Ron vodka.
I'm told my guy Murphy's here today. He's a vodka guy.
Gives me the thumbs up of the vodka that's sea
salt and fused.

Speaker 6 (01:00:58):
It's we call it the men Water of Vodka's just
a slight touch of local sea salt from San Juan Island.
The San Juan Island Seasal Company another great company to support.
I would definitely support those guys. But yeah, we put
just a mineral water amount, so it's not very much,
but it softens it and we believe it's the smooths
us drinking vodka we've ever had.

Speaker 3 (01:01:18):
Ghost Dog whiskey.

Speaker 6 (01:01:19):
Great for tailgating, like spice, ghost pepper and honey infused
moonshine essentially, but great straight grain in a cocktail. It's hot,
but not crazy hot, but it's all natural.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
I like it in coffee myself. I would a coffee
little cream with it. It's a perfect tailgating or cold
weather drink. It's fantastic in the gin. About the gin, yeah,
so everything like the vodka. We're kind of a maritime theme, right.
We ate our bourbon on the water. Our vodka has
touch of sea salt. So the gin we it took
us a while because we didn't want to do just
a gin. So this gin has a just a touch

(01:01:53):
of sea kelpleef in it along with the traditional botanacles
you would associate with kelp or associate with gin. So
it has a little mommy flavored to it. It's a lighter,
easy drinking gin. You've had it, you can talk to that.
But yeah, so that's the differentiator, is that the sliding
mommy touched with.

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
This I don't like. I'm very, very very particular about
my gin. It is very good. I can tell you that. Again.
People kind of come down here.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Yeah, Trivia on Tuesdays, or if you're shopping, say at
the town Center across the street, come in, treat yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
You get some holiday specials.

Speaker 6 (01:02:27):
Open seven days a week, we opening at four and
weekdays earlier. On the weekends, we do brunch on Sunday.
Come on in at ten am. Yeah, So Trivia Tuesday,
Trivia Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
All right, do we have anything on the text line that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
You tell you A lot about the Pa Troughs, A
lot about that the troughs.

Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
I love our audience. It's like the most predictable thing.

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
We got more, well, all this stuff and it comes
down to Petron.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
Then literally anything else we talked about sports related on
the show.

Speaker 4 (01:02:55):
So I'm going to go with that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Washington State ferries, apparently from the four to two five
still have circular peeing troughs in their men's bathroom fun times.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
I was, you remember the p troughs into actually you
know the last one here.

Speaker 6 (01:03:08):
I would put little duckies in him on an organ.

Speaker 4 (01:03:10):
Game day, That's right, I do remember that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
Actually, Kingdom had the last ones that I remember were
the Coma Doome before they remodeled. They remodeled it, Comba
Dome no longer there.

Speaker 3 (01:03:21):
Kind of a bummer, all.

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
Right, bathrooms are way more fun than women's. Uh this
another four to two five A circular trough was one
peeing in an old Kingdom sink, and it made me
think that maybe he was.

Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
He probably was.

Speaker 6 (01:03:35):
Those were that, Yeah that I was there.

Speaker 3 (01:03:39):
Yeah, you were wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
That's not where you were supposed to go use the
restaurant that was shockingly to wash your hands.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
But I guess that wouldn't have been very good either.

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
What else you got, Let's see, we have a couple
of Wazoo texts from the two six Hiring Rick new
Heusl makes a lot of sense for Washington State, doesn't it.
You have a coach with a credible name recognition and
would love to bring him an heir apparent to take
over him after him for a lungevity.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
I think those guys asked him this morning on the
morning show about it. When we'll grab that sound bite
for tomorrow. But he listen that the new heisl tandem
Rick and his son Jerry, it certainly has the Dick
Bennett Tony Bennett vibes to it. I get that although
Dick wasn't that far removed from coaching Ricksman out of
it for a while. That's that would be my one

(01:04:25):
concern there. Thanks, Yeah, I could see that. I mean,
I wouldn't be opposed to it. I'm open to it.

Speaker 4 (01:04:30):
What else, all right? Bad beats of the year.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
It came down this coming from the two five three,
It came down to two teams for the last playoff spots,
the ld GBS and the Hungry Dogs. I think this
was meant for someone else.

Speaker 3 (01:04:43):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
I think this was about fantasy football. Yeah, Okay, what four, two, five?
What happens that the Seahawks only go one in three
or two and two? No one's talking about that possibility.

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
One more win they're in. Yeah, the love wins, you're in.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Yeah, I mean then you get a lower seed obviously
that people think they're gonna finish one and three?

Speaker 4 (01:05:06):
Would people be upset with even eleven and six? Like
if you had been if you had given eleven and
six before the start of this season, how many people
would have taken that most?

Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
But I think if you're sitting there at ten and three.

Speaker 4 (01:05:21):
Yeah, would I agree with that?

Speaker 3 (01:05:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
Context matters, sure.

Speaker 1 (01:05:25):
I mean we shouldn't be thinking about that. You should
be thinking right now about winning a division. Yes, which
comes down you beat Indianapos games, you beat Indianapolis, and
you play for the division next next Thursday. Yeah, it's
as simple as that, Like there's no anything else. All Right,
We're gonna go this fain standing by. We'll get to
Dick Fane coming up next.

Speaker 8 (01:05:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:41):
Loser of the bungee cord contest yesterday at the Cracking
game to Softy.

Speaker 4 (01:05:46):
I think they both lost.

Speaker 3 (01:05:47):
Be honest, I think we were all the losers.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
I have a video, but all right, we'll check in
with Fame coming up next. All right, we're back on
a cracket ticket Tuesday. You probably just heard the sounder,
so people are calling in. Andrews answered the phone stick
Fane joints us right now, Hello sir, how are you?

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
What's going on?

Speaker 11 (01:06:13):
Man?

Speaker 4 (01:06:13):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
You survived the bungee court pullint contest yesterday with the
soft one.

Speaker 13 (01:06:18):
I see survival was the number one, number two and
number three objective.

Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
I just want everybody to know that.

Speaker 13 (01:06:26):
I mean, I saw Tim Booth throwing some shade on Twitter,
you know, saying it was a you know, a disaster
or what have you, and I just I just politely
wrote back to him, My said, my friend, when two
fifty somethings compete on the ice, uh and you come
out with no broken bones, no tendon torn, that is
a massive success.

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
Well, because I think people are used to seeing that,
where like both guys go full blown yes each other
and then then someone snaps back and then there's like
an absolute yard sale exactly.

Speaker 13 (01:06:56):
But you know what, those guys are twenty five year
olds that have had like five vodkatonics.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
You guys, you guys, approached it from a more conservative
that's respective. And so it was just it was much
like the hockey game last night, hockey term here. It
was low event, yes, a low event bungee game. It
was a hockey game, Yes it was, And yes it was.
And you both and you know what, you both came
out of their un skating, unlike Matt Zucarello, who they're still.

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
Picking up wow chack. I was.

Speaker 4 (01:07:25):
I had one eye.

Speaker 13 (01:07:26):
I had one eye on the hockey game and one
eye on the Monday night football game. And I heard
it and and Rich Moore was doing the same and
he goes, He's we're right next to each other. We
were literally going back and forth between the hockey game
and watching his money the Monday night football game. And
I see him go he goes oh, And I was
like looking at the eyes, like what what did I miss?
And as soon as I look at the ice, there's
just a freaking melee in the corner, right in our

(01:07:48):
corner where we were at and uh. And then I
saw the replay. I was like, oh, man, he got
ass over teakettle, didn't he?

Speaker 3 (01:07:55):
That was a and it was a clean hit, yes
it was.

Speaker 1 (01:07:58):
I mean I understand why they jumped while they all
five guys in the ice jumped Vince and went after him.
I mean, that's a guy in Zucarell. He's an older guy,
he's well respected. He got he didn't play the first
fifteen games or so of the season because.

Speaker 3 (01:08:11):
He was hurt.

Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
Might have been a head injury as well, and so
I get it. But that's the violence of the game.
That's clean shoulder to shoulder. But oh my god, in
real time, I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
Like, whoa at his old school? Well you did? What
am I gonna see? What am I gonna see with
the bungee jump? After?

Speaker 4 (01:08:26):
I know, I know, Well, you did a nice job
on the call.

Speaker 13 (01:08:28):
Actually I went home and you know, I was, I
was kind of done after the second intermission. I'm like,
I'm gonna go home and watch you in the third period.
I watched the third period on TV. You did a
nice job. Unfortunately you had to deal with, you know,
a goal that Gruby never even had a chance to
see and then two empty net goals and that's it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:47):
That's all. Thank you were done.

Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
Kind of a bumber, cind of a bumber. The money
That game was interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:08:51):
Touch on that what a just a dog? What a dog?

Speaker 3 (01:08:56):
Philadelphia?

Speaker 13 (01:08:57):
I mean, I'm watching hurt dude, What is wrong with you?
Those teams aren't close to the Seahawks. Not close to
the Seahawks. And one's nine and four and what's the
other the other one is like eight and five or
something like. But it's like, holy, there is a big
gap now, all of a sudden, where everything was lumped
in and we're gonna start the three o'clock segment with this, Well,

(01:09:18):
everything was lumped together like four weeks ago, like, oh man,
who's the best team in the league. There's like twelve
teams all the same. Not anymore, there's like two teams
the same.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
I ram Seahawks gap. Feel like there's a big gap now.
I do believe packers. Me to say it packers or
start packers, the kind of they've kind of found themselves
a little the last few weeks and have rediscovered that hey,
we're we're pretty good. And Micah Parsons is actually every
now and then playing meaningful snaps. That's and Jordan loves

(01:09:49):
becoming a problem. Jacobs is a problem. I don't until
they just go away. The cockroach is San Francis go
forty nine ers works.

Speaker 4 (01:09:58):
Well, that's because they're scal that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (01:10:01):
So easy.

Speaker 13 (01:10:01):
Do you know they're twenty three to one to win
the super Bowl, And I'm like, I don't think they're
gonna win the super Bowl, but they could win every
game the rest of the year because the Seahawks are
the only good team they play.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
I don't, I don't. And I was thinking I was
hoping all along that game would meet nothing, and I
think it's gonna meet something. Yeah, it probably will gonna
be a coming up today.

Speaker 13 (01:10:17):
Ah yeah, Well we'll do our little NFL power pole.
We'll see, we'll see how close Hugh thinks that everybody
else is to the Seahawks and the and the Rams.

Speaker 4 (01:10:26):
John Wilner will join us.

Speaker 13 (01:10:27):
We're gonna do a little Demond Williams breakdown his door.
Is this what we're gonna get from Demond Williams? We
will ask you, like, is this just a is this
just a stopping ground in twenty twenty five to something great?
Or is this kind of all we're gonna get from
Demond Williams with the Huskies.

Speaker 3 (01:10:45):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:45):
I like that, all right, Well, I mean I'd mentioned
this to London earlier you know, like people all these
one and done quarterbacks in today's world, right, sometimes you
gotta wait for those guys to develop. Yeah, Camp cam
Loard after his first year at Wazoo. If you would
have said he's gonna be amber one overall pick where
he said he's gonna be a first round pick, I.

Speaker 3 (01:11:02):
Would have laughed at you. Absolutely, and he goes number
one overall. So sometimes you gotta I hate to say this,
sometimes you gotta be patient.

Speaker 4 (01:11:09):
Yeah, I know. Patience.

Speaker 13 (01:11:12):
Patience and college football are absolute imposters.

Speaker 4 (01:11:16):
They are antithesis of each other.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
