Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let me get this out of the way because I
got some stuff I want to kind of get going
a little bit. If you do postcast last night, there, fella,
you did, okay?

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Good?

Speaker 1 (00:07):
So when the first game of the series three one,
Munno's great Huo hits another home run, bullpen, four shutout innings,
I mean that's kind of the story. Yes, I did,
did the postcasts?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Did?

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Sorry? I I had Terry Ryan. You know what I'm
really starting to enjoy and just for the I guess,
if nothing else, just the entertainment value by the Edward
Bizardo experience. Yeah, because you don't. I'm just looking back.
So his last five games here, all right? So last
night perfect three one inning, three strikeouts, did have a walk,

(00:40):
so not quite perfect, but you're fine. Of course, before
that one inning, two hits, two runs, both earned takes
the l in that game. The other White Sox game,
one inning, one hit but no runs, you're okay with
that Atlanta who one inning, three hits, one run and
it was earned in that one inning. And in Atlanta

(01:00):
the other game he was perfect in that had to strikeout.
Bizardo is fun. You're going to be entertained by the
Edward Bizardo experience. Every time he's out there.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
This is reminding me of Rodney.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
It is very roight Fernando Rodney experience, like in a
sense relievers. It's except for minus the bloodshot eyes at
Fernando Rodney twenty four to seven.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, I did that.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
But I love Bizarto, man, I'm a Bizarto fan. Just
count me among the fans.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
The guy.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
You're not gonna be perfect as a reliever you're in,
especially when you're a high leverage guy, such a volatile position,
so volatile, and I mean, I just I'm I'm a fan.
I love the dude. Thirty years old. I remember a
few years ago and he was about to make his
debut up here, and cause this guy, and he's evolved. Man,
he's improved, he's I love the story. I think it's great.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
He went into last year was like a mop up guy,
and by the end of the year you used him
in the highest leverage situation of the year.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
But not his not his fault. No, that's a damn thing. Yeah,
so the other part of it, cal goes over for Yeah, yeah,
it just continues. I mean, that's that's buried in the
lead someone. It is whatever we will. But that's that's uh,
that's get the win though. That's like, you take at
least three or four in this series, you feel a
lot better about yourself.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
So I wonder, I wonder what the pushback on fans
would be. If Cal is hitting like Julio is, and
then Julio is hitting like Cal.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Would be awful. It would be so bad. It'd be
so awful because Julio just takes a beating in this town. Yea,
And now I will say that's.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
What superstars do.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Though, no, no, no, no, no, no, he's he he
he takes an unfair I don't and we've talked about that.
It's been a Mollywop discussion point for four years. Yeah,
and it's less this year because he's playing because he's
playing on eat. Although his defense is.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Awful, it's not good right now, like.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Like you just can't win. It's like, dude, you went
from me an elite gold level caliber at least defensive player.
So that's but he's hitting the ball. Cal does have
a little bit of a tough one factor like little
Ronald Reagan going on here just like slides right off,
No big deal.

Speaker 6 (03:00):
Fine, Well, I mean considering what happened last year, he's
kind of got that grease.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Now there are people nationally I love the I love
the narrative. Now, how is this guy ever considered to
be an MVP? Well, that was last year. In this year,
they don't do MVPs based on a cumult of you know,
accumulation of years. It's last year he was an MVP period, Like,
he had an incredible year. This year, he's struggling well

(03:27):
for four last night, we talked about that yesterday. He's
got three games left in that ballpark against bad pitching.
He's got to get going. Like, if you don't get
going against these guys, when who are you to get
going against? Right, right, Like, that's that's the thing. Let's

and I am so glad my kids are old and
I to worry about that. I can just jump into
that category. Yeah you are. It's it's stupid.

Mouse to your child.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
All the ride, man is the thief of joy.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Is you're on the classmate each his boogers. You do
that too, No.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
Wave jump off the bridge comparison.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
You're all done with that. I'm gonna get into Gary
Parrish on yesterday at two o'clock and just a great conversation.
I'm gonna turn into a little bit of topic for
you guys today in just a couple of seconds. I
want to hit this first because the and thanks to
UH to our buddy Jake Wittenberg over at King five Television.
He actually uh he cut and pasted basically the story

(06:25):
that I wanted to. I don't necessarily want to read it,
but it was kind of like one of those things
you can't look away from it. Howard Schultz penned a
a piece on Seattle and basically it's it's an op
ed in the Wall Street Journal was behind a paywall

(06:47):
Jake posted for everybody to read. Sale turns hostile, the
great businesses it made. And so Howard Schultz wrote this
op at and I looked at it, read it, and
here's the thing. I mean, there's a there's a sports
that sports el to it. Outside the fact that we
all hate Howard and rightfully sol because of what he
did to our baseball or our basketball team, which is
sell it out from under us. He basically talked about

(07:13):
how hard it is to do business in the city
of Seattle and in the state of Washington. These days now,
at the risk of making some people here upset or mad,
I don't think you can deny that we have become
a very unfriendly city and state for big business. I

(07:35):
think I think we could, we should be able to
agree upon that for a variety of reasons. That is
for other radio stations and formats. But but there's no
doubt when you see things moving out of here and
companies that have built their backs on this city and
this city's workers, that we have issues in this state

(07:58):
that are buy and large being ignored by the two
most prominent leaders in our state, which would be the
mayor Seattle, think governor of the state of Washington. Hell.
The highest gas prices outside of California in the country.
I just feel I have a hybrid sixty dollars today,
same which just stupid.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
I'm jealous for getting sixty dollars.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Well, luckily you don't drive as far as I do.
Don't that is correct. But you know Howard wrote this,
and again he made some great points in there, but
he had a line in there, and Chris Daniels from
Como brought up something and this is where I'm gonna
get to the sports element. A second because outside of
me just reading this, going, Howard, I wish it wasn't

(08:37):
you writing this. I wish it was someone that mattered
writing this. You're the former CEO of Starbucks, not the current.
You live in Miami, not here, but you did build
Starbucks from the ground up here. You did credit where
credit's do. But he had a line in there quote,
we invest locally, pay taxes, and support civic institutions talking

(08:58):
about big businesses. Let me read that again from Howard Schultz.
We invest locally, pay taxes, and support civic institutions. What
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa? Buddy, forty one years of history,
you didn't care about a civic institution called the Seattle SuperSonics.
You didn't want you did not want to invest in it.
You did not want to invest in Key Arena and

(09:21):
partner up with. You wanted everything handed to you. But
this is what got me because I'm thinking, Okay, I
don't like you, Howard. You pissed me off. And what
does it really matter though, what Howard Schultz says or writes,
even in a thing like the Wall Street Journal. Chris
Daniels pointed this out on a tweet. You could make

(09:44):
an argument his op ed is attempting to prevent that
public trust from being returned. I e. The Sonics, Howard
Schultz sold a Seattle public trust to Oklahoma City. You
could make an argument his op ed is attempting to
prevent that public trust from being returned. I don't know
if he's attempting to do it intentionally. Only he knows that.

(10:05):
But what Chris wrote is true if people that Matt
you're reading that the Wall Street Journal is read by
people that do kind of matter in you know, like
in the business world. And when Howard Schultz says, hey,
you can't do business in Seattle or Washington anymore, does
that hurt our chances for the NBA. I I don't know.

(10:26):
I hope not. But two things jumped out. One the
absolute gall for a guy that sold the public trust
to Oklahoma City to call out our city in state.
And again he's right on a lot of levels. But
you're not the guy. You're not the messenger we want
to hear from. We don't have. I watched NBA basketball

(10:47):
last night. Yes I did, I did.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
I did.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
It was an admission of guilts in a lot of ways,
but I did because I mean, well, first of all,
Marrin game was done early, hockey game was done early.
Basically about the about no about those times those things
were done. It was the Lakers in the end. Yeah,
wells me, father, for I have sinned. I didn't watch
the NBA last night. I didn't watch the NBA last night.

(11:11):
I watch Oklahoma City and the LA Lakers. God did
I feel dirty on so many levels? God did I
feel dirty? That's why I felt dirty?

Speaker 4 (11:20):
I know.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Everyone everyone, well not everyone. There's people that don't care
about Oklahoma City. You know, they're as much that they
would root for them. No, I'm not saying in our city.
I'm saying just across the country. Yeah, because there's still people.
B LA is still a chant and every NBA arena
in the Western Conference. So but wait, I said this
before officiating Tony Brothers and the rest of that crew. Wow,

(11:46):
got Foster? Oh my god? Or what are we doing here?
Chad Holmgren's basically game winning dunk in the paint? How many?
How many times? How many steps are you taking? Shuffling
in the pain? Like why do we even have rules
in the NBA?

Speaker 7 (12:00):
I and the fact that rules for that and Dwayne
Wade on the and the analyst role.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Oh god, I feel so bad for Kevin Harlan. I
feel so.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
Bad, but Harland did so well.

Speaker 6 (12:19):
Kevin's fine, I'm saying Ken broadcast regardless of his.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, but he's stuck with two people and one of
them is incompetent, and that's Dwayne Wade open name and not.
But and that's just there's nobody in the NBA that's
a good analyst. There just isn't.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Like you watch the studio shows for being honest.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
Shows are awesome because they're hysterical.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Which because that postgame on Prime, I've got I've got,
I've got one with that later. We'll get to that
a different date. I think someone I think we've jumped
the shark there. But that's that's just their post game
is god awful Primes. It's awful. You mean Peacock. No,

(13:04):
it's on Prime, last Prime. But Dwayne Wade jump around.
Dwayne Wade's not good like the Master of the Obvious. Yeah,
he's very much like the one of the most critical
plays he didn't even figure out. Luckily, Candice is like,
why is really not in the game right now? He's
four from eight from three and they need a three,
which JJ, reddick, are you how much do you get

(13:25):
paid to make dumb decisions? You brought a guy off
the bench, had and played all day, Like what do
we do? Anyway? I'm watching, I'm watching the game, and
I'm thinking of myself. There's so many things, you know,
chat Holmwards dunks the ball, ends up being the game
winner because he's allowed to shuffle his feet in the
paint eighteen times, No no call made. SGA is a
He's an embarrassment. Great player, unbelievable player, like unbelievable skill

(13:49):
and it's just a joke. It's so boring to watch it,
really is. I did and I watched three, three and
a half quarters. But we don't have the NBA. Why
do I Why do I myself to watch something we
don't have? Going nothing else on? And what the hell?

Speaker 4 (14:02):
But I'm watching it and thinking, do I really want
this back?

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (14:05):
The answers, Yes, I do want to back. But Howard
you're the reason. Dude, So you're telling us the public trust,
you sold a public trust to Oklahoma City. Your former
company is trying to move. Why are they moving this?
Because what you're off edpiece said I was just so
conflicted reading this, and again, thanks, I'm glad Jake posted it.
I retweeted it so you can read it there. He

(14:27):
just cut and pasted it. Screw you Wall Street Journal,
the one won't behind to pay well. It's it's like
you're reading this thing, going okay, yeah, who is this
guy because he's got great points about what's going on
in our city and our Oh it's him. It's the
guy that sold the public trust. It's the guy that,
now by writing this as a former NBA owner in

(14:47):
this town, could hurt our chances in some ways. Lovely,
Absolutely lovely. There's there's always been this weird thought with
Howard that maybe maybe he's trying to get himself back involved,
minority owner, maybe part of the group. Oh my god, Jess,

(15:09):
I'm telling you, no, Jess, I'm telling you. We all
say that there is there are a lot of feelings
behind the scenes that this is a guy that's trying
to position himself.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
To make amends. I don't I think more money.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
No, he makes money off of it. He's making like
that's what.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
Gave up the team for like forty million dollars.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
And then all of a sudden you buy back in
you're you have like five percent. We're all the same, Okay,
But there's this is I have heard this a lot.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
Don't like it.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Nobody does. I know, I'm just But then I read
this today and it's like, well, he doesn't care about
the NBA here because he just basically told people not
to do business in the city of Seattle, in the
state of Washington. That's what he tell people to do. Well,
why would the NBA want to do business here? He
just wrote this piece in the Wall Street Journal. Will
really affect a team coming here? Now, if someone has
seven billion dollars or whatever it might be, I'm sure

(16:06):
the NBA will still come. But doesn't help. I thought
Chris nailed it. Chris Daniels nailed it. You know, all
these years later, Howard Schultz still haunts us. He just does.
He haunted me last night when I'm watching a league
where we don't have a team. He haunted me when
I read that story this morning.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
You have your own personal ghost.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
It's he's just there. He's just he's overhead. But he
is right. We just don't need to hear it from him,
Like if that was coming from Andy Jassey at Amazon. Hey,
we need to do a better job in the city,
in the state to support our big businesses. It was
coming from him. Okay, you can live with it. And
he's already got a part of a team here. He's

(16:44):
part of the Craken ownership group. That'll be fine. Not
a guy that sold the public trust a civic trust,
a civic pride in forty one years of history. Then
moved in Miami and also no longer runs Starbucks. But
the only the company he did found them was still
take credit for on a day to day basis. He's
moving that're moving out of this city too. There's so
many conflicts of interest here. There's so many things that

(17:04):
just make you just go, h where are we at?
What's going on? He's right, but he's wrong. He's the
wrong guy to say it. That's a simple way. He's right,
but he's the wrong guy to say anything. And damn you,
you better not screw this thing up for us. You
better not all right when we come back. We talked
to Gary Parrish yesterday. The worst idea in sports that

(17:25):
I can ever remember is coming into fruition. I'm gonna
challenge you guys. We're gonna hear from Gary Parrish four
nine four to five one to come tout text line
four nine four or five one. I'm gonna challenge everybody
on the text line, even talkbacks, what what is something
comparable to this? The worst idea in sports? And I
think and we'll explain a little bit more in detail

(17:46):
when we come back. Nine three point three KJFM.

Speaker 8 (17:51):
Now back Dean Furness on your home for the Huskies
Cracking and the Twelfth Man, brought to you by Seattle's
Closest No call me because seen Hotel on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ r FM.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
All right, we're back hanging around on a Tuesday afternoon.
Four nine four five one is the comb touts text sign.
We're also on YouTube. Hey YouTube, here we are. Say
how do YouTube? Andrews. I had just turned the camera on.
Do that again, hey YouTube, say how do YouTube?

Speaker 9 (18:22):
Anders Hello?

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Hello, welcome, I in fineshow if you're not watching on YouTube,
go ahead and watch. It's really fun. People want people
sitting there talking.

Speaker 5 (18:31):
You can see our facial expressions. It's see when Ian's
disgusted with Howard Schultz.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Discussed over a lot of things in this world, city
or state, I'm former Sonic owner. I'm going to go
on and on and on. Anyway, the NC Double A.
Let's get to them. I'm trying, actually want me do this.
We're gonna pay this. Play this from Gary Press about
six minutes. I was just a little quip from yesterday,

(18:56):
and we had Gary Honor an NCAA basketball guy, March
Madness guy of course, Tobs Sports, and Psyche College Basketball.
Big thanks to Nola Brewing for your grocery store. I
love those guys. I had Gary. I We've been waiting
to make sure, Okay, here we are. We're at that
point now where it looks like, for sure this seventy
sixteen tournament's going to happen. And instead of having four
playoff games play in games over two days, which wasn't
that bad. I mean for some of us, we would

(19:16):
go to Skalmba casino and there's nothing like betting on
Texas A and m Agriculture State against Southwest Louisiana Tech
or whoever the hell they're playing in a sixteen sixteen matchup.
Nothing wrong with that. It's fun, good times. Twelve of
those way too much. Listen, the tournament is big for
a lot of reasons, But part of it is because
it's so interactive. Nobody that I know of wanted this.

(19:42):
So I asked Gary Paris yesterday, who and why wants
this expansion of the tournament.

Speaker 10 (19:47):
Well, you can always figure out the why by figuring
out who wants it. So who's the first person, you know,
a prominence of power who started talking about this in
any sort of public way. It was Greg, thank you,
the SEC commissioner. So let them trick you into thinking
the West Coast Conference push for this and wanted this,
that the Missouri Valley Conference pushed for this and wanted this.
They might not mind it, but they didn't push for it.

(20:09):
And in fact, even if they did push for it, it
would matter because they don't have the power. The truth
is the SEC and the Big Ten the Big Twelve
as well, But really the SEC and the Big Ten
have made their already super competitive leagues more competitive in
recent years by adding big time athletic departments in the SEC,
Texas and Oklahoma in the Big Ten, as you know, Washington, Oregon, USC, UCLA,

(20:33):
And what that does in both of those leagues is
push every middle of the pack in below program. In
the sportmen's basketball down a notch. If you used to
finish sixth in the SEC, now you might finish ninth
in the SEC. If you used to finish seventh in
the Big Ten, now you might finish eleventh in the
Big Ten. Simply put Greg Sanking and the Big Ten commissioner.

(20:55):
They want to have a higher percentage of their teams
in the NCAA tournament. They figured out a way to
get more money out of the television networks to make
it a profitable endeavor, and then they held the leverage
of if you don't do this, we could just break
away as soon as these contracts are over and do
our own tournament without you. That's how you get the
little guys to go along with it. That's how you

(21:16):
go from sixty eight to seventy six. Simply put us
in that negative. We don't need this. We haven't left
a good team out of the NCAA Tournament, and as
long as I can remember, we put average teams in
every year. We don't need to put more average or
bad teams in. But it's a money maker, and the
most powerful people in college sports wanted it to happen.
Whenever you get powerful people, give them a way to

(21:37):
make a little more money. They're almost always in college
athletics going to walk right down that path, whether it's
good for the big picture or not.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Gary Paris Shortningius, Gary. Do you this is something that
I've never quite understood. Even we talk about in the
NFL a little bit too, because as an NFL city,
when they start doing stuff like, well, we're going to
play a Wednesday night opener with the Seahawks defending Super
Bowl champions, and we're gonna have a Tuesday game or
of Thursday day and Fridays and Saturdays and going to
go head to head and all these things. And I

(22:04):
bring that up because I think that sometimes the people
in charge are detached from why their particular sport or
in this case, why this tournament is popular. And I'll
explain by saying this. In the NFL, it's about two things. Gambling,
which is then tied to the second thing, and that's
the one hundred million people that play fantasy football that

(22:25):
are invested. It's interactive. The NFL is a very interactive
I think you'd agree with me. Sport for fans. Anybody
can be involved with the NFL, even if your state
doesn't have sports razing. You're probably playing with your buddies
in a fantasy league, or at least the majority of
people are. It's interactive, make it easy. That brings me
to of course, March Madness. Close to maybe even more

(22:47):
than forty million brackets were filled out last season. We
have three and fifty million people in this country. You
do the math. That's a pretty large significant number. That's
one of the biggest reasons I believe March Madness is
kind of a catch all. It's big for everybody you're
watching the second and third weekends because you might make
twenty bucks or maybe a lot more. Do they not

(23:08):
realize that this kind of screws stuff like that up.

Speaker 10 (23:12):
I think they realize it, but not enough to where
it prevents them from actually doing it. So think of
it as perhaps as a poor analogy. But you know,
they have read the warning label on the packet, on
the pack of cigarettes. They know what this could potentially do,
but they're still going to open the pack of cigarettes
and you know, pull their lighter out. I don't think

(23:35):
you can overstate the point you just made. Like my
young boys do not watch college basketball every day of
the year, but there's something about they got to print
out a bracket or fill out a bracket online to see.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
If they could beat Dad.

Speaker 10 (23:51):
And by the time they flew into Indianapolis for the
Final four, they knew pretty much everything you needed to
know as a basketball about Arizona and about Yukon, and
they knew about Brayla Mullins, and they'd watched the shot
that bracket gave them a reason to care.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
And then they started carring.

Speaker 10 (24:10):
And when I was a child, when you were a child,
or at least let's just take it back to the
mid eighties. It was sixty fourteenths and it fits so
perfectly in the newspaper when it came out on Monday morning,
and then everybody would cut it out and you'd fill
it out, or you'd print it out and fit on
a perfect piece of paper. And I want to be clear,
I'm not trying to sit here and sound like I'm
ninety seven thousand years old. I understand nobody's gonna print

(24:32):
stuff out. I have a twenty three year old son.
He doesn't even understand the concept of printing something out
and holding it and putting pen to paper. But my
larger point is that on selection Sunday, we used to
have a show and if you were a Washington fan,
they said, this is Washington, this is where they're seated,
this is where they're playing, this is who they'll play,

(24:52):
this is when it's going to be, and you could
wrap your head around the entire thing immediately.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
If we win, this is who we play. If we
win that one, we could play here, we will have.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
To travel there.

Speaker 10 (25:02):
It was all right in front of you from the jump.
And now more fan bases than ever are going to
watch the selection show and they will immediately say, Okay,
I guess we're in, but where are we play it?
Who are we playing? When will we find out? It
just delays the understanding of everything. It's complicated at least

(25:25):
for you know, people who don't follow it closely, and
it'll delay people, you know, filling out brackets in a
way that will prevent people from even caring enough to
fill out brackets. And if we can both agree that
part of the popularity of the tournament is the bracket
that's attached to it. When you break, when you make
the bracket more complicated, delay the time with which you

(25:47):
have to fill it out, it just it takes something away.
Maybe big picture, it won't be that big of a deal,
but I tend to think you're closer to right than wrong.
I think it matters to what degree we'll see down
the line, but I think it matters.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, great stufth With Gary Parrish's podcast, he and Matt
Norland really broke it down extensively, and I think there's
a lot of elements to it. I bring it up
today because I mean, it's not college basketball season. We're
not a huge college basketball market. But I do know this,
people in our area care about college hoops. We see
the TV numbers, we see the numbers in terms of
the casinos and what they do. And I also QUALMEY has
a huge bump every year. I assume the other ones
do as well. There's a lot of interest in it.

(26:23):
We get a bump. It's it's something that we carry
the games on Thursday and Friday all day starting at
nine am and barring a cracking game, all one of
those two days. It's it's one of our biggest couple
of days of the year in which people are driving around,
they're listening on the app, the iHeart app, or listening
on the radio station to the whip around coverage and

(26:44):
let's head to let's head to Jacksonville. Right now, it's
a three five, you know, it's a it's a five
to twelve matchup Virginia coming down the stretch. They got
some problems to check in with. Kevin Coogler. Here we
go the Whipper, you know, and it's they do it
Westwood winns an incredible job with it, and you know,
but but but why is it so popular? Because it's
so neat and tidy. Now, maybe by the time we

(27:05):
get there, it's fine. I'm just trying to think of
something and four nine, four or five one is the
takumadage tis. I'm trying to think of something in sports
that that a league, a governing body has done that
has been as widely unpopular and not wanted by everyone
as this, you know, because like you can look at

(27:25):
and saying, okay, maybe it's baseball, Well that'sk Jo she
in this. It used to be you'd have division winners
and that was it. In the playoffs, right, and then
they expanded the playoffs wild card system, and then they
expanded by one. Right, it was two long, yeah, now
it's three. There's people that hate that, but really, end

(27:47):
of the day, one hundred and sixty two games keeps
everybody kind of invested, right, It's I don't I don't
have a hard time. I don't think any of us
have a hard time with that. And if you get
to the playoffs in baseball, unlike if you get in
as a whatever seed on a playing game on a Tuesday,
you know, and your Auburn this year and you have
a five hundred record, your coach can still get fired.

(28:09):
Right in baseball, you're not getting fired. You're you're celebrating
the fact you got in hockey playoffs? Have you know,
sixteen teams out of thirty two are in eight in
each conference, So yeah, it's fifty percent, But you know what,
everyone's engaged basketball. I would put again, I don't want to.
I feel like I'm always a guy beating up the NBA.
I think the playing games I think are kind of goofy.

(28:32):
But then if you said, hey, we're gonna do that
for the NHL, maybe I'd be okay with it. Right whatever,
maybe kind of keeps you more. But really, sixteen's enough.
Right In the NBA, twenty out of thirty teams get
some sort of postseason taste. That's too much. But none
of those are on this level in my mind. But
there might be something else doesn't have to be playoff wise, realiant, whatever.

(28:53):
What's the worst thing? What's the worst idea in sports?
Four nine, four to five one. It's a hard question idea. Well, no,
just in terms of what we've seen recently, big like
could change, like a change, you know, I could change, Like,
what's the worst thing that's changed for you? Like in
sports that nobody wanted to see happen. I'll give you
one more. And this is where Greg and I will

(29:14):
disagree all day long. I think we have way, way,
way too many foreign games in the NFL.

Speaker 6 (29:22):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Somebody just wrote a calm. I think it was in
the Athletic like if you're a Sunday ticket guy or
a woman, like, it's worthless now, it really is, because
all the international games are nationally televised, and you got
Thursday night football, Sunday football, Sunday night football, Monday night football.
Now you've got Wednesday Thursday, this opening weekend. I mean,

(29:44):
you've got all these things going on doubleheader sometimes, blah
blah blah, Like, really, your chances of missing an out
of market game are not really large Christmas Day games,
all the primetime games. I could, we can live with those.
I just too many European football games too out, How
about this, too many international football games because we're in Brazil,
you're in Australia, Mexico blah blah blah. I heard today

(30:07):
like Greg was talking about, is there a chance that
Seattle San Francisco could be in Mexico City? Because I guess, wait,
so you're going to send the forty nine ers on
the road internationally. I'm all for screwing them, but would
you do that really? Twice two divisional You're like two
divisional games, whether it's a home game or away game.
At this point, it's almost moot, but it doesn't matter,

(30:28):
Like if we are going to play international games, why
are we playing them as division opponents? Like that should
just be your out a conference game. If you're going
to play.

Speaker 6 (30:39):
I almost you know, Andrews, you're a soccer fan. It
feels like it should be relegation. The worst teams should
have to.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Play in Europe yees yea internationally to sell the product there.
But you know what, just you know, I you know what,
I might I might agree with you. You know what
you punishment as you're playing overseas. Yes, you know what,
how about this play better?

Speaker 4 (31:04):
Teams have to go over and do that.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Play better? Better, play better, and they'll tell us that,
like Lundell tell us, he told us two weeks ago.
We're talking to it was like when he went to
the cover of the game one of the games, like
they're wearing jerseys for everybody. They don't care, they don't
care who's there.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
Yeah, that was the.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Ireland game every year for football, like college football has
like a game. It's I think it's in Ireland. It's not.
It's not like it's no Dame necessary. It's like they'll
play Boston, whoever play. They don't care. Wake Forest is
in town, super Jake Dickerd's here. I don't know, but
it's a college football game. Division one. They're playing a
D one college football game in Toronto this year. I
think it is actually wake Forest playing up there. But
it's it's like they don't care. It's it so yeah,

(31:44):
if it's if it's the Titans and it's the Raiders,
who cares. It's NFL football, Yay, I gotta watch, you know.
Fernando Mendoza and cam Ward in a sense that's not
a bad matchups. Actually you know two number one overall
picks whatever, but like to really bad football teams, right,
what we should be.

Speaker 6 (32:02):
When I was in Wembley, that was the one twenty eighteen.
You were there too, right.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
I did not go, oh you didn't.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
It was the Seahawks, big doubt.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
I don't want no part.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
Oh man.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
I stood on Principal Jess.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Good for you. They did not.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Actually they sent Aaron Levine instead.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
But I blew my butt out there.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Just we got some good ones. We got some good
ones coming in. We got some really good ones coming
in four nine, four to five one. We'll check out
those out coming up at two thirty. Talkbacks are welcome
as well. We'll take quick break, come back, we rock up,
wrap up first hour next.

Speaker 8 (32:32):
Now back Dean Furness on your home for the Huskies,
Cracking and The Twelfth Man, brought to you by Seattle's
closest No Call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ r FM.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Twelve days away from the schedule lease of the NFL.
I asked soft yesterday. You know, I understand we're not
always on the same page of shocking. I don't what.
I just don't care who they play the Seahawks in
the first game. I just don't. Yeah, I really really don't.
I if I have my my preference would be that
they would play Arizona and kick their ass. That'd be great.

(33:10):
Like I don't need it, I don't. I'm a Seahawks fan.
I want that to be a celebration.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
You remember last year what their first game of the
year was.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
It was a forty nine Ers. They lost. It was awful,
and they still won the Super Bowl. But it like,
I don't like having the hardest game or a really
hard game like Chargers and Herbert No, no thank you, No,
especially regular season justin Herbert. No, I don't want that
Bears playoff team last year. No no thanks. But that's

(33:36):
who's going to be so far we know this. Seahawks
will open up against a TVD opponent Wednesday, September ninth
at eight twenty, Rams forty nine Ers the next night
eight thirty five, So that's five point thirty here on
that Thursday, Rams forty nine Ers a Thursday night game.
Then that's on September tenth, Giants Cowboys get the first

(33:56):
Sunday night football game on Sunday, September thirteenth. That's the
first full Sunday of football Chiefs Broncos. Nobody knows who
the home team is, but that's the Monday night football opener,
so it's easy to be So everyone must be assuming
that Nixon and Nix, I think is fine, but that
Mahome is going to be okay if they're showing the
Chiefs and Broncos as the first Monday night football game.

(34:17):
On that Monday, the fourteenth, Week two, the Bills will
open their new stadium at home against the Lions on
the first real Thursday night football game that's on Prime
and not in a foreign country. That's Thursday, September seventeenth.
We know the Cowboys and the Ravens are playing Sunday
September twenty seventh. That would be in Rito di Janeiro

(34:39):
in Brazil. Yay and safe, really good. And then Cowboys
Eagles Thanksgiving Day Thursday, which is Thanksgiving November twenty sixth.
So we already know that the Cowboys have one, two,
three primetime games already that are listed out there of
the five that they're at K we don't know the

(35:01):
Christmas games yet. I think Greg mentioned he thinks that
the next twenty four hours we're gonna hear uh international games,
maybe the Christmas Games as well. We'll see.

Speaker 9 (35:09):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
It's I'm kind of with Faine. You know, Dick was
bringing this up yesterday and I this also pains me
to agree with Dick much less softy in the same
segment of the same show.

Speaker 6 (35:22):
Really do we have some breaking no no, no, no breaking.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
But I'm with Dick, man, like, if we're going to
have schedule release day, let's just do it on that day.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Like I agree.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Here's what the NC DOUAA does do really well, like
really well. At three o'clock Pacific on Selection Sunday, they
reveal what this is, what the tournament looks like. They
do that. They do a really nice job. They also,
even though the NC double A is on involved with it,
it's College Football Playoff World, which is some sort of
separate entity. They also when they reveal the college Football

(35:56):
Playoff teams, they do it on one day. They don't
leak it out over the course of five or six days.
I like that. I'm with Dick. Just get me to Thursday,
five o'clock Pacific time, here's the schedule, and away we go.
I hate the leaks.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
I hate them.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
They're not leaks. First of all, they're like reports. First
of all, they're coming out from the league, so it's
not a leak. Second of all, there is no such
thing as a leak because.

Speaker 7 (36:23):
Anytimes, well it doesn't matter if it's politics or sports,
a leak is done for a reason.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Someone has an agenda. They want it out there. Ah
du like a leak would. A leak tells me that
there's something that's an accident, Like I had a leak
in one of the pipes in our hot tub that
we had.

Speaker 4 (36:38):
I'm so glad you said that, not something.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah, no, we had a leak in the hot tub,
and luckily I've got a kid that knows how to
fix things, so we fixed it. It was a leak.
That was a true leak. It wasn't something that we
planned on or wanted to have happened.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
That correct.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
When you leaked that Dante Fowler two weeks ago is
going to sign with the Seahawks, that's not a leak.
That's hey, we want to stop calling me a done deal.
Blah blah blah, I got this done. We didn't mention that,
by the way, in the update, my apologies, it's official.
They made it official last night that Dante Fowler Junior
is now a Seattle Seahawks, So they have basically put
their roster together to defend their Super Bowl championship next year.

(37:13):
The one glaring need that they kind of had again
was that it was finding a pass rusher, an edge
got to replace Boy of MAFE or just an edge
player to replaced Boy of MAFE. And I don't know,
time will tell if it's an upgrade or not. It
certainly is far far more of a value than what
they were going to pay fifty three to stay here.
Who had a high Yes, Corbyn had a high win rate,

(37:34):
didn't put the quarterback on his back all that often.

Speaker 5 (37:37):
Yeah, and Corbyn's been kind of the champion on our
Seahawks Squad show Unlocked on Seahawks of saying that there's
a reality that Dante Fowler is better than Boy of MOFE.
So I think, especially in terms of value, you got
the better deal here.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
I was a solid move by you to slide in
that little promo for was a really solid play by you.
I liked it, you know, I always like John Juggers
has learned a lot over the years.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
I learned from the best. I learned from the best.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Indeed, all right, we'll take you Ray cut back one
o'clock out one twenty Today, our friend Joe Shean will
join us. He'll talk all things baseball, cal Castillo, how
bad is the American League? Is Houston toast blah blah blah.
We'll get to all that with our friend Joe Shean
coming up at one twenty John Lund, I do believe
he texts me back something completely different and Nope, never

(38:28):
could say yes, I'll see you, talk to you too.
But he did text me back on something unrelated, so
I'm the he's at least conscious today, so that's good. Good.
So we'll expect to hear from London two o'clock on
nine three point three KJFM.

(41:15):
NFL stadiums, how many, how many stadiums? Is FIFA using
of the NFL. Good question. I'll do some research. Seattle
for sure, met Life for sure, Kansas City for sure.
I think Soldier Field, I do believe. Before what else?

(41:37):
L A oh l a's l A is like, are
they playing so far? There's five? Yes, so at least
five that we can think of off top of their heads.
I have the list here, what is it?

Speaker 5 (41:50):
It's actually a bunch met Life at and t Arrowhead
Energy Energy Energy is Houston, Mercedes Benz slink and Financial.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Mercedes Benz is Atlanta, correct.

Speaker 5 (42:04):
Lincoln Financial, which is Philly Vis Stadium, hard Rock Stadium
I believe is Miami's. That's Miami, Yeah, yeah, yeah, eight,
Jillette Stadium, nine, Little Field. Ten so far eleven.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
Ten eleven, there's eleven US venues for the World Cup.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
Yeah, wow, Jersey, Dallas, Kansas City, Houston, Los Angeles.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
So some of those already have grass. Some of those
already have grass. Yeah, I don't know exactly which ones. Yeah,
Like I'm just on top of my head. MetLife does not.
I mean, here's the problem when when they say that,
I mean I have I just just casually watching a
little bit of Sounders. It looks awesome.

Speaker 5 (42:47):
Oh yeah, just looks soccer on grasses. Let me let
me rephrase it this way. Soccer on turf sucks. Yes,
it's awful to watch right and playing it's how much
different is the touching of the ball for you on turf?

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (43:01):
A lot, it's a lot not and then not just
how the ball rolls, because it's like with grass, it
kind of skips a little bit. It's really bouncy because
of the rubber underneath it.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Well, but the problem is very feels different. Yeah, like
if it's if the if the rubbers and the and
some of those, some of that rubber is going away,
some of that technology is going away. But then also
think about how much you're sliding and like you're right, Well,
I think, buddy, buddy me. We introduced a memorial stadium.

Speaker 11 (43:27):
I know.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
We don't have to be in the.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
Playing on basically a rug. Yeah, no, I I I
get that. Soccer, I get I I totally understand it.
The football thing. When Tredder says that I've talked to
enough guys over the years, I don't think that there's
this unanimous feel the grass is better than turf in football.
I think it's it's a very easy and convenient. Hey,

(43:58):
a guy gets hurt, we're gonna blame it on the turf.
You can find plenty of instances where guys get hurt
on grass. I'll just take you back. The year was
twenty and thirteen, but it was a twenty twelve season
three in that particular game, RG three, Chris Clemens, Stephen Hauschka.

(44:19):
There might have been more, but those three all had
their legs destroyed on what they were calling grass. Now,
that wasn't what does he call it? High quality grass fields?
That certainly was not. No, but good luck, good luck
growing a high quality grass field in a lot of
these East Coast even out here in the dead of winter. Yeah, like,

(44:42):
good luck with that. There's a reason they went to
this technology and they're trying to improve it. JC hell
I the two ones that I think of Green Bay
does a great job, like they I don't know how,
but I've been on that field and it's Christine, but
it all so, I've been on that field, been four
or five times when it's been snowy and or it's

(45:06):
been snow has happened, or it just slick. Carolina a
few years ago when they had natural grass I don't
think they do anymore. When they had natural grass. There's
a playoff. We had a playoff game there in twenty seventeen,
I believe it was. And I remember talking to Bruce
Irvin before the game and a Bruce or Frank one
of those two guys where we're talking and doing pregame.

(45:27):
They're walking around, they're like changing cleats five or six
times ago this and they're just like this is awful,
Like this is It's just it was like kind of
a slick, kind of mud hard mud type of thing,
and guys got hurt that game, if I remember, right.
I don't know. I think it's cool looking right now,
it'd be awesome to have censure or loom and field
whatever having grass all the time. I just don't think

(45:48):
it's a feasible thing. They're jc if especially if you
want to have these indoor stadiums, Megaplex's like so far
and Mercedes Benz and all this. You know why they
have those so they can pay you guys a ton
of money. Is Dallas grass Dallas is not. It's indoors.
There's indoor grass field right right, But yeah, no, I
mean and think about Dallas. They have a lot of
stuff going on there. The other thing is all these

(46:08):
places are multi event venues, like you rolling a concert
in there. You got you're gonna destroy your grass. You're
gonna roll in Moto cross or whatever. You're gonna destroy
your grass.

Speaker 12 (46:21):
Right.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
Well, I just don't think it's a real I think
it's a fun thing to say. It's just not realistic. Sure,
you know, it just isn't And and guys get hurt
on grass, just like they get hurt on and the
turf technology gets better better. I think it's one of
those things, you know what when you're when you're complaining
about things in the NFL that should be not near
the top of the list. I mean, you got to
find something if you're in the NFL. P Yeah, you
gotta find that. Uh, we got we threw a topic
out at you in the last hour. We'll get some text.

(46:42):
We'll read those coming up at two thirty today. It's
pretty fun. The we're just talking about the worst idea
that we've seen in sports in a while. And I'll
take your help on it. I I can't think and
maybe somebody can taught me on this. I can't think
of a worse idea than expanding the NCAA tournament, one

(47:05):
that is universally disliked by fans, by most media, most coaches,
mark few coming out obliterating it. Tom Izzo the exact
same thing. Nobody likes this except for Greg sanke as

(47:25):
Berry Perrys Toole as the commissioner of the SEC because
maybe he can sneak a couple more of his really
crummy teams in the SEC into the tournament. It's not
gonna help the smaller teams, not gonna help the mid
major teams. It makes what ends up being a really cool,
fun week getting your bracket ready and all that a
lot less because you're going to have six games on Tuesday,

(47:46):
six games on Wednesday, and then you're gonna have I mean,
it'll work out, but people thirty six million to forty
two million, depending on whose numbers you want to look at,
brackets were filled out last year. People want it nice
and easy. It just and it doesn't reward good you know.
I heard Dick and Softy talking about the other day,
and they're right, like, if you get in, like Washington

(48:09):
hasn't been in the tournament in a decade. If you
get in, but you're playing in a game on Tuesday
and then you got knocked out? Did you really have
anything to celebrate? Feels like kind of an extension of
the Big Ten tournament or a conference tournament. Does exactly.
It doesn't feel like it was actual tournament game. The
tournament starts when you see, Oh god, the late Greg
Gumbele used to be the guy, but now I think

(48:29):
it's Adam Zucker last year, maybe Ernie Johnson at nine
am on a Thursday morning on CBS and here we
are and da da, let's go out, and nine to
twelve is the first tip off. Specific that's when it starts.
But find me another one that's just awful, Like, just
find another one that another sports idea. I've seen a
couple of good ones out there, four nine, four or
five to one that are that are actually damn good.

(48:54):
I'll throw this one at you just for fun, right.
The MLB ghost Runner, Oh it sucks. Someone wrote that
in that's from the two A couple of those. Yeah, yeah,
so the ghost run. Do you hate the ghost Runner? Yeah,
it's It's not my favorite thing in the world because
baseball has kind of been if we want to think
about it, baseball's maybe been weird to say because it

(49:14):
seems like it's so stuck in its ways. Baseball's kind
of been at the forefront of a lot the last
five years, especially right, Yeah, abs this year you got
the pitch clock, pitch clock, bigger bases.

Speaker 5 (49:24):
Yeah, yeah, which I think most people in almost all
of those situations would would say the changes have been
good for the game, right, ghosts And like, I see
what they're doing with the ghost Runner. They're trying to
make the games faster, But that's the one where you
are sacrificing the quality just to make just to get
to the end result that you're looking for. The other
ones I think have been actually good changes for the

(49:46):
quality as well.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Yeah, the ghost Runner might be the top of the list.
I mean maybe people do like it. I I've never
been one that says the game's too long. If I'm
going to a game, it's going to be however long
it is.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
I don't really worry about that as much. But the
ghost Runners. The ghost Runners kind of like the shootout
in hockey. Yeah, it's it's not a representation of who won,
and you don't have it in the postseason, so which
is the same as a shootout in exactly it is
the shootout in hockey, right, So, like I kind of
understand you don't want to avoid these marathon games. Like
basketball's over time is five minutes. Yeah, whatever it is,

(50:18):
it's five minutes. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (50:19):
But when you have that much scoring, yeah, it's easier
you can say that, right, Versus in hockey you can
go a period without scoring.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
I went to the epic game Sunday Night Baseball in
the Kingdome Yankees Mariners ninety one I think it was
ninety or ninety one on the Sunday Night game. Pee
we probably finally ended it with a home run. It
was eighteen innings something like that, unbelievable phenomenal game, like
just the back and there was like run scored before

(50:47):
he finally won it, like Yankee scores counters back. I mean,
it's an incredible game. Yeah, and I'm glad I got
a chance to go to that. It wasn't the eighteen
inning one zero, No, No, it was not. It was
not the horror show that was used in a couple
of years ago. Not at all all right, Uh, Joe
she and Joshian newsletter joins us coming up next.

Speaker 8 (51:09):

(51:31):
Ian with our weekly baseball fix from Joshian.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
Got a long list of stuff to discuss with my
friend Joe Shean today after I missed him last week.
He Uh, of course probably had a better time with
Chris and Andrews and the crew, but uh, I appreciate
you making time for a little old meet today, Joe.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (51:48):
Man? Hey? Look, I did get to talk to Chris
last week and that was great. I just want to
throw a little shout out to him. I know he's
going through it a little bit and does some great
work on you, and uh, well thinking about him.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
Chris, great dude, man, We love the guy. All right.
Let's get I want to ask you just a question.
A story just came out from the Athletic and I
don't think it's breaking news, but it's out there. MLB
and the MLBPA are holding their first CBA meeting in
New York today. At the top of the lists, according
to The Athletic Story and others, is the first discussions

(52:22):
truly about a salary cap. It's going to be probably
the number one topic that they go through over the
next lengthy how long these discussions take, and I'm assuming
we all believe probably goes into the next calendar year. Joe,
what does the salary cap accomplish or does it accomplish anything?
In baseball?

Speaker 3 (52:44):
It raises franchise values a lot because you've happ competition.
You cap the labor costs. And if you look around sports,
the leagues that have broken their unions through winning strikes,
winning lockouts, the NHL, the NFL all have payroll caps.
MLB has never been able to break its union, so
it has doesn't have a payroll cap. The purpose of

(53:06):
a payroll cap isn't competitive balance or anything like. It's
just the cap competition for labor. So MLB owners want
that because it will raise their franchise values. And pretty
much any time you can get your competitors to agree
to only spend so much on labor. It's a win
for menasurement, so that's always been the center of it.
I know that there's a lot of conversation about this

(53:27):
particular topic because see a lot of people say, well,
why does it it will be we do this, and
people argue will be better for the players, which is
not true because well, let me let me make it simple.
If a payroll cap system was better than for the players,
management wouldn't be proposing. They don't propose things that are
better for the players. It's not the way negotiations. So

(53:47):
it's a complicated topic. It's obviously it will be as
a long history with this because the other leagues have
successfully broken their unions. We have a lot of sports
fans who just think this is the way it should be.
And as somebody who's been covering these things for a
long time, I can tell you that it's not about
making things better, it's not about competitive ballance. It's entirely
about tapping labor costs for that isment, locking in certainty

(54:09):
as far as costs are concerned, and raising franchise values.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
Joe, I know that we don't know an answer, but
you've covered it, You've talked about it, you've written about
it for it forever, as you said, so it's it's
sort of a hypothetical. I'm not a huge fan of those,
but I'm gonna ask you just in this regard, if
I look at the other leagues in sports, and I
think the NFL may be the best example, because the
NFL just hates any thought of a dynasty, you know,

(54:33):
they just do they and they don't want that to
ever happen. They want everybody to have competitive balance and
all that stuff, and that's why they have a hard So.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
You're telling me the NFL dynasties the NFL is nothing, but.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
I know, but you think about it. Back to back
Super Bowl champions don't happen. They don't unless the names.
And since they started a free agency, I think the
Patriots the only ones have gone back to back since
the true free agency, the come back to back. The
Chiefs went and didn't go, didn't win right, No, they
they go back to right too.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
But nine teams have accounted for most of the spots
in the conference championship games in the last twenty five years.
I mean, we can draw the lines of ever we have,
but when you actually down and say, okay, who wins
the championships, who makes the finals, who makes the conference finals.
The NFL, NBA, and MLB have basically the same day,
the exact same day.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
I bring it up for this reason. The Green Bay
Packers playing a small market, they can compete with anybody.
The Seahawks. The Seahawks I think could have had a dynasty.
They couldn't pay anybody, like at some point all those
contracts came through. It came true at one time. I
bring it up for that reason. Well, Oklahoma City is
a great example. Like the salary cap saves the thunder.

(55:39):
No one's gonna no one's gonna stay there or play there, right,
But they've got these young guys that are all gonna
be fine and for a certain amount of time. Do
you think that Major League Baseball would have and maybe
the answers one hundred percent. No, That's why I'm asking
you any kind of type of different competitive balance with
a solar cap.

Speaker 3 (55:59):
No. There again, it gets into a very complicated conversation
to do on a twenty minute radio second. One of
the reasons the NFL as the system it does is
that again broken union. But I was to think about
whatere the money comes in. The NFL doesn't have markets
in the NFL. Is the team that sells the most

(56:19):
tickets in the NFL sells about seven hundred thousand tickets.
We laugh at baseball teams that sell seven hundred tickets.
There are no local TV contracts. Everything comes to the
national nesally, the two thirds of the money in the
NFL clubs to the national media. You're never going to
get to that. So where the NFL is sharing NFL
money thirty two ways for MLB to do that, it's

(56:40):
got to take money from the Yankees, the Dodgers, the Cubs,
the Mets, who have you, and give it to the Royals.
That's locally generated money. And I'm not just talking about TV.
I'm talking about the Dodgers draw four million people a
year and this is well, no, you gotta take some
of that money and give it to the Royals. And
my answer is what you get a lot of this
will Green Bay and Oklahoma City, all these examples. Let
me ask you this, why is it good for the

(57:04):
teams with the smallest fan bases to have most success?
Like why why have we decided that that's the measure
of the success of the league. Because like the NFL,
the Jets and the Giants are terrible, always terrible, and
it doesn't matter. The LA didn't have team for what
a decade, right, and now they have one and a half.
Since the Chargers are basically a bark, starving team, nobody

(57:25):
cares about them. Like, why has that become the measure
of like different? Why is it is good for the
teams that the smallest fan bases to have the most success,
because if you look at it, you talk about this
dynasty idea, and no, when dynasties are great for sports,
it gives teams, it gives the fans something for rooted cans.
It's a great story. It brings people coming back. This
idea that the NBA or the the NFL don't want dynasties,

(57:48):
it's just wrong, man. Dynasties drive interest, and when you
just have random teams popping up all the times, it
actually takes interest away. So a lot of the things
that gets talked about are simply not true if you
look at the behavior of if you look at the revenue,
the overall revenue, look at the interest. Dynasties drive interest.
They don't take interest in it.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
Oh I agree, No, I agree I've done this. I've
done this job for rezillion years. I mean, the Lakers
are always good for business. When they were great Patriots,
I think were good for business. Yankees chiefs. Nobody wants
to watch the smaller market teams. Last year's NBA Finals
with the thunder very litw rated. You appreciated the choir,
and I also think, like for me, you're right with
the The NFL is a hard one to make an
example of because of what you just said. It's not

(58:30):
a normal league where it's based on you know your
market and what you can do in your true ownership.
It is a made for TV event. I think Here
TV and Seattle is a great example of that because
up until well now they're selling it. But when Paul
g Allen was alive, it was the greatest thing in
the world. Like if we always joked about it here,

(58:50):
if if it was just based on your market size
or maybe more specifically on your owner, well, Paul g Allen,
I don't know what they would have done, but I
don't they have lost all those dudes to free agency
in the salary camp situation. He would have just paid him. Hell,
he showed that when he was in Portland. The luxury
tax meant zero to Paul, like, I'll pay whatever. It
didn't always work out, they didn't win a championship, but

(59:13):
so I'm with you on that. And yeah, anything that
screws Oklahoma City and even more for so, yeah, good
for that.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
Joe.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
I didn't think about that aspect of it.

Speaker 4 (59:20):
Yeah, well, Joe She and Joece jo She.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
I mean, we'll be keeping an eye on this thing
because negotiations are probably not going to go well at
least initially. We'll see if they can get something done.
You know, I think you're the one that I was
thinking about our conversation. This is like three four years
ago when we talked about that revenue share in baseball,
Like there's no excuse for teams not to spend more money,
owners not to spend more money, because don't the Pittsburgh Pirates,
for example, or the Kancay Royals get money from other

(59:44):
teams in baseball.

Speaker 3 (59:47):
This is I think. So this is a very closely
held piece of information which we don't have a list
of the revenue sharing transfer and I think it's important
that this before MLB doesn't publish that information because I
think they no it would change the conversation if we
could see and estimates from about five years ago are
that the top teams put in eighty to one hundred

(01:00:08):
million dollars and the bottom teams collect about that many,
and then it's a sliding scale towards the middle on
both ends. So if you knew that Bob Nutting of
the Parts had been getting ninety million dollars a year
for the last ten years, or that the doctors had
been kicking back one hundred million dollars a year to
these teams, I really think it would change the conversation. Yes,
because this whole woe is me idea. Look, if your

(01:00:30):
payroll is less than you're getting just from local revenue,
just from local revenue sharing. I'm not talking about national
TV money or me or anything else. I'm talking about
just local revenue sharing is higher than your payroll. That
would change the conversation. I have said, I've tried to
get this information. I don't think I'm ever going to
be able to get it. But if you had a
piece of paper that showed you, well, since this program

(01:00:51):
started in twenty twelve, this team has collected one point
six billion dollars just in local revenue sharing money. Why
are we giving it to them?

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
Yeah, I think I think, I think it would change everything. Well,
maybe it comes out during this process, because like I said,
it's probably gonna get ugly. Joshi and Joni's Joshian newsletter. Uh,
we're about the quarter pull of the season. Before I
get to some Mariners conversation. You did write about this
a little bit. What have we learned about what pictures catchers,
hitters are doing with abs right now?

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
Yeah, I think we're going to see pictures basically cut
out of this conversation pretty soon here and you had
the rate of picture challenges is only about two percent
in April. Its actually down under two percent now by
the end of the year. I just think they're going
to see pictures not allowed to change. Think about it.
Pictures are in motion, so they're going to have the
worst angle. They're going to be the head's going to
be moving based at the end of their their wind

(01:01:39):
up their stretch, so they have the worst idea where
the pitch actually was. Catchers when they challenge, they win
at about sixty percent rate. Pictures are about thirty seven percent.
This is number These numbers from Bismall Savas over and
we'll be so there's just no reason to let pictures
waste your challenges When your catchers are converting at fifty
percent higher rate. That pretty much the same. The one

(01:02:02):
thing I noticed looking at some data at this cycleed
cap to challenge is that hitters are leaving more challenges
on the table than catchers on, which is to say
that catchers are doing a better job of saying, all
that pitture is close, I'm going to challenge it, and
they get the ball slip to a strike where hitters
seem a little more timid as the season goes on

(01:02:22):
about making that challenge now. I wanted an automated strike
zone because I thought it would help make the better
picture battle a little more fair. It would force pitchers
to stop getting that strike two inches off the zone.
And if catchers are going to be challenging more and
converting more challenges, that's not gonna happen. This is going
to be something else that helps pitchers and catchers take

(01:02:43):
runs out of the game, take offense out of the game.
Right now, baseball needs all the hits it can get.
So if abs challenging turns into something that takes offense
out of the game, it's gonna be a negative.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
Yeah, I'm just looking at the numbers you posted just
to batter catchers pittures on Sundays and different. I mean,
it's the catcher has the best rate and it's not.
You know, they're up by anywhere from five to six
percent even over batters right now, so, uh yeah, they've
got the best look at it. Joe she and Jonas
Joe shean newsletter. Where does Joe She and stand on
a six man rotation? Joe, You'll be shocked to know

(01:03:15):
that's a big topic here in Seattle.

Speaker 3 (01:03:18):
It's kind of a five and a half thing where
they're going to piggyback the two. It's a little bit weird.
I will say that it's I don't like burkewn. I
don't like I had to be talking to a five
man rotation thirty years ago, so you know, I think
we there's there's not enough, there's too many pictures going
out ing so and then they don't want to move either.

(01:03:38):
One of these guys from the bullpen Emmerson Hancock has
earned his rotation spot for the moment. Ninety percent of
the time this gets solved by the injury. Somebody has
an oblique or a blister or something goes wrong and
goes on the iel for fifteen days. So we'll see
how this works out over the next few turns. But no,
I don't Castine's okay. I do think though, if I
was going to move one of these guys to the bullpen,

(01:03:59):
it would be Castillo. I will stay that between the injuries,
the brash and the fire. And I guess Jose Frere
is having a kid, well having a kid. I looked
at the bullpen that you guys are running out there.
I was literally just looking at roster resource before the game.
And I do this for a living, and I don't
know before these guys are. I literally don't know who
they are. It could be for people who have ever been.

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
In my ketchen.

Speaker 3 (01:04:20):
I have no idea these guys, So putting Castillo into
the seat only the only the gen X people are
going to get that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
But I.

Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
It's it's a tough So maybe moving one of these
guys to the bullpen right now wouldn't be the worst idea,
and I think it should be Castillo. He's still sustaining velocity,
throws twenty five, maybe picks another kick or two in
the pen. I want to see what Chrys Miller can do.
I was very excited about him at the end of
last year in the playoffs. I don't really want to
mess with him. I would like to see him in
the rotation every FIP day.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
Well, I think that's with with Bryce coming back and
he goes tomorrow, right, and goes tomorrow, Yeah, tomorrow, Thursday, Okay, yeah,
I mean with with that, we'll see what he's got
first start of the year. I think the other part
of it is you just said it like there's always
natural attrition. It's a it's a rotation that has been
knock on wood healthy so far this season. That was

(01:05:11):
not the case last year. It's not the case normally, right,
where a rotation stays healthy the entire season, there will
be something naturally that takes its place along the way
and it'll feel it feels like they have him one
of those guys. And we've called it now. We still
have the Fernando Rodney experience here. The Edward Barzado experience
is starting to rival that. It's either really good or

(01:05:33):
a god it's one or the other. It's I find
a highly entertaining Joe, I really do. It's fun and
they need him.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
Ye one thing about him little left handed dinners. And
because of the way the Boltons structured right now, he
has to face more lefties than you would normally have
him do with crash and everybody else were healthy. So
it's a tough spot for him. He's got to be
used a little bit often.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
Joe she and Jonas Jochian Newsletter. Let's uh cal Rawley situation.
That's the other big topic here right now? He goes
oh for four again? Last night, I hesitate. I got
the numbers. I don't want to look at him. It's
not good right now. Uh oh for what enters forty?
Now are we at forty? I think we're close to forty,
if not there for his last forty. You do this
for a living, as you said, sir, should we at

(01:06:16):
all be concerned about cal Rawley?

Speaker 3 (01:06:18):
Yet see a question like that? I want to say,
I'm just a hobbyist, I'm just a fan with I
don't have great answers for you. Ian, what's your superpower?
Everybody does superpower?

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
Good question, God, great question. Let me think about it
because I don't think I have one. But if you
say everyone has one, I guess I gotta think of one.
So let me think about it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
What do you got?

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna skip past.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:06:40):
Cal Rawley's superpower was hitting fast. He threw a fastball
for a strike. Last year, he crushed it. It's seven
You slid seven thirty on fastballs in his own last year,
and it wasn't a flu forty five barrels. A whole
bunch of the home runs that he had were fastballs
of his own. This year, he's hitting one eighty with
a four to sixty slugging. Now four fifty sounds good.
It said, it's fastballs on the zone. You should be

(01:07:00):
crushing those. Last year, if you got a fastball on
the zone, he was about twice as likely a little
more than twice as likely to swing and miss as
he was to hit a barrel. That's a great ratio.
This year, he's seven times as likely to swing and
miss as he is to hit a barrel, barrel being
like a really well struck ball by stacks standards. So
he's completely lost to superviowl. He now is getting challenged

(01:07:23):
in the zone by fastballs and he's not doing anything
with that's killing And of course it's leading to other things.
He's pressing, he's got a higher chase rate than he
had last year. But the real thing is he's turned
into somebody who just can't hit fastballs. Now, if he
was four years older, it would be simple, right, thirty four,
he's up there in age. This is what happens when
you get into your mid thirties. For a player still

(01:07:44):
as young as he is, who had the year he
had last year, completely suddenly lose the ability to hit
fastballs on his zone.

Speaker 13 (01:07:51):
Is terrified.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
I'm just looking at Yeah, that's that's the part. Yeah,
I'm just going to go back to that. So just
to reiterate, last year, cal Rawley gets a fastball, really
good things happen. This year, cal Rally gets a fastball,
things aren't happening very well all the time, like at
the same rate, Like he just isn't hitting that. And

(01:08:13):
that's and if Joe she and I'm guessing if you
know that, so does every scouting staff and managerial and
every coaching staff in baseball.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
Well, there are no secrets, I mean anyway, I mean
this is the case forever ago, when it was just
you know, guys going to games and scouting and taking notes.
Now we have perfect information on every pitch about our seats.
So this is getting around very quickly. And until Rally
starts hitting those fast balls in the zone and turning
them around again and turning them into barrels, turning them
into home runs, he's just going to continue to see

(01:08:43):
velocity in his own. These numbers are incredibly start I
can't I mean, I was doing the research for this
for the spot, just like this can't be me the
answer and which really is the answerting if he's not
hitting fastball? So I mean I would get his eyes checked.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
I would make sure did he have some oblique thing, yeah,
soreness side or something? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
Maybe just maybe you give them ten days off, you know,
give him the Dodger vacation you usually talk about the pictures.
The change is so stark for thirty year old that
it's almost got to have some externality. It can't just
be suddenly lost the ability to test. So I would
find some way to get him a break, give him
a reset, and bring him back and say get back

(01:09:21):
to being power out.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
Uh big, thanks Eric Gordon bringing Joshian back with us
every week this Baseball station. Each week Joe is brought
to you by Northwest Handling Systems from Forkliffs to pallet
Rax conveyers the loading dock equipment. We sell, rent and
service all your warehousing needs. Request to quote today at
NWHS dot com or give us a call four five
two five five zero five hundred. By the way, the
Dodger Vacation, I have used that multiple times. Every time
I do attribute it to Joshian and the Joshian Newsletter.

(01:09:44):
I think I threw it out at our buddy, you know,
Sarah say today on the Athletic.

Speaker 11 (01:09:48):
He like that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
He got to chuckle out of it. So yeah, they
you're the Dodger vacation. It's it's all years. I hope
you have a copyright on that thing because it you know,
you should be making some money off that. With Residual Jill, I.

Speaker 3 (01:09:58):
Love that U Favorite Writers does a great podcast with
their Van Riper at the Athletic. Greats and Barrels just
really great guys. So I'm so glad you have them
on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
I gotta listen. I like to have people on the
show that are way smarter than me, So that's why
I have you on. That's why I have eno on.
I have a lot of guys like that. That's like
I like to have that. It helps raise the bar
for this show. Before I let you go, we brought
something up earlier and had to do with the NCAA tournament,
and it's basically just you know this, this has to
be the expansion of the NCAA Tournament. One of the

(01:10:26):
worst ideas that we have seen in sports in a while.
Nobody wants it except for Greg Zanke, the SEC commissioner.
Like literally, that's the one guy that wants it. Nobody
else does. Coaches don't want it. Most like ISO, few
other coaches come out and just obliterated it. And I'm
asking our listeners of things that they don't like. Some
of the things they've seen worst ideas. We've seen a
lot of ghost runner at second base for extra innings

(01:10:49):
in the regular season. Where do you fall on that.

Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
I think that's the worst rule of sports. I know
some people think it's the fumbling out of the end
zone rule for touchback, but for me, the ghost runner
is the worst rule of.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
Sports, just because simply it's not the way you should
decide a game rights.

Speaker 3 (01:11:04):
It's a rule that comes from like amateur tournaments where
you've got to hear the field. So the next game, Yes,
it's we have to get this game over with. Personally,
I don't think Major League Baseball games have to get
over I think that you played them until somebody actually
wins the game. Playing real baseball, and guys, this is
determined playoff spots. This is the third determined division winners.

(01:11:26):
If you look at the four years that we've had
this rule, it's been incredibly important in determining how you
play in these fake baseball innings at the end of
games has determined champions.

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
Andrews, you're agreeing.

Speaker 4 (01:11:37):
I love it fake baseball innings, it is, but I
had thought of.

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
It in the terms of Joe Putt, like, is you know,
I remember when my kid was playing travel ball and stuff. Yeah,
it's like we've got the next game is starting. Yeah,
we got to wrap this damn thing up. Let's go
let's go figure it out to have a home run
contest or something. Tell people the Joe Shean newsletter, Sir.

Yeah, go Anaheim Ducks.

Speaker 4 (01:14:31):
Yes, thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
Series that series tied two games, because it feels destined
to go seven.

Speaker 5 (01:14:38):
That might be my favorite series. I know you mentioned
the Buffalo Montreal series. I like the Vegas Montreal wins tonight.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
It's if Montreal WINNSDA night is three to one, it's
effectively over. But if Buffalo wins, that might go seven
as well the games in Montreal. But yeah, I need
this a couple seven gamers. Man, give me a couple
of seven games.

Speaker 3 (01:14:56):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:14:56):
We do have some Kracking news a little bit sort
of you qualify as as news. It's an update sort
of sure, so it's an update on the audit. The
Cracking announced today they partner with Sportsology Group, which is
an external advisory firm specializing in organizational performance and operational
strategy for professional sports franchises. The process with Sportsology is

(01:15:19):
underway now. They're working in parallel with their own aunt
with the Kraken Zone internal end of the season review.
Sportsology the outside group conducting a full assessment of all
areas of hockey operations, including organizational structure, communication and decision
making processes, player development, amateur and professional scouting, analytics, integration, coaching,

(01:15:40):
roster construction, philosophy. Come back to that one for you, Andrews,
sports science and medical support, overall resources and the alignment
between the NHL and the h levels is the organization
double checking here for Mikey and me. Nothing here on broadcastcasts.

(01:16:01):
It's fun to make sure Mikey fits Allison fester Wing
and so we might be okay, okay, I don't see
anything in there about that. Now, let's see if you
win the Emmy, Susan Lucci, man, there will be cracking Emmys. Yeah,

(01:16:23):
I'm just not sure. I am Susan Lucci. Hear me,
roar I company? All right, So they're going through all this.
The guy, this lead guy, Mike Ford is his name.
He's done a bunch of the East, the guy that
used to play for the Mariners. No, it's with any okay,
although did Mike Ford have an no, God, remember that guy.

(01:16:45):
He was like he was like Bucky two point oh
for a while. He was came in and was like,
we've had big guys that have come in and had
these flashes. He was rowdy before rowdys, Mike Ford before
all them. The original was Bucky. I'll say Bucky have
been better than all of them combined except for his knees.
Just yeah, thanks for coming. Yeah anyway, roster construction, I

(01:17:07):
want to hear what that comes out of.

Speaker 5 (01:17:10):
I'm curious, but like I always get weird with these
kind of external audits, so to speak, like what are
the parameters that they're looking at?

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
Here?

Speaker 5 (01:17:20):
Are they going to compare it to other NHL teams?
Are they gonna they've.

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
Done he's got inside note, let me just tell you. Oh, okay,
here we go. Inside They've done. They've done fifty plus
of these with different teams in leagues right X sports.
So this isn't like their first goal, this is their
first rodeo. So people were asking would be independent The answers, yes.

Speaker 5 (01:17:38):
Well, this isn't like the crack and looking for the
firm that would give him the most favorable score.

Speaker 1 (01:17:42):
No, this is this is he he actually did. I
get I might try to track this down. He did
an interview with Elliott Freeman a few years ago from
Hockeyheck Canadas. So this is something that this guy does,
and it does and so it's legit.

Speaker 5 (01:17:54):
I'm curious about roster construction. I'm also really curious about
the player development findings, because that's been a big thing
for me.

Speaker 9 (01:18:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:18:01):
Uh, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:18:02):
Here's the thing. They have developed and had draft picks
from every class except for last year. So the first
four draft classes have all played in the NHL. They're
one of the few teams that's had that happen. So
they're putting guys in the NHL from the draft classes
the top guy. But are they high end guys? The
answer so far is no. I mean, Maddie's you wouldn't

(01:18:23):
say is a high Like the guys aren't high end.
You know, outside. I think it's good sometimes have outside
stuff come in, but it can be problematic. And Jess,
you worked in TV with me, Oh, this is this
is like a very TV stations for I don't know
if they still do this because they're all such big conglomerates.
When when we were at for example, like Como years

(01:18:44):
like eons ago, we were owned by the Fisher family
that'scoing people, very small company and I'm like, we had
outside consultant that they have, They had a guy that
was higher and the guy. Funny thing is this turned
out to be greasy later. I'm keep an eye on
Mike Ford that ended up being a news director couple
years later. After it was like the consultant for years,
but having a guy come in from the outside. Here's
what I think the question is like, sometimes those guys

(01:19:06):
just don't in the context you're working with. Right, A
lot of companies out there, a lot of people listening,
probably have outside consultants that look at what they're doing
in their business. So this isn't nowt of the ordinary
the question. I like hearing that the guy's done this
a lot and it's been involved before. So I think
what you go back to Andrews, what you said, it's
not just hey, let's find somebody that's going to agree
with us. Yeah, exactly. I don't think that's what this is.
I think it's the opposite of that quick text. Oh sorry, Jess,

(01:19:28):
go ahead.

Speaker 6 (01:19:28):
No, I was just going to say that as long
as they know you, as long as they know you
and are willing to spend the time.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
I think they're trying to find out what they are, right,
they don't know him yet. They're outside, They're coming in
things you don't know what well like. But I think
sometimes having that.

Speaker 5 (01:19:47):
But it's almost better not to know anything. Yeah, and
you can go in and kind of do your own digging.

Speaker 4 (01:19:52):
Right, you can come in thirty thousand feet and then
get to fight out.

Speaker 1 (01:19:56):
Here's what it is. It's it's an outside voice telling
you what they think. Yeah, does that mean you have
to take everything they say and do it and implement it. No,
because that's what you're saying, just because it does happen.

Speaker 4 (01:20:07):
In news a lot, It happens in media a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:20:12):
And really actually media as a whole, it times happen.

Speaker 6 (01:20:14):
I'm not denominating any sort of media. We are one
that there's TV, there's radio and radio.

Speaker 1 (01:20:20):
Tour we hadn't we had in Portland. We had in
radio guy came in every six months and it was
and the guy had no clue. And I say that
for this reason. He was a news guy. He's coming
and telling us about sports. Yeah, that's what I mean
that I should do more Tour de France. Did you
actually say that? That was said?

Speaker 4 (01:20:39):
Okay, we're just gonna.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
That we did have been here.

Speaker 1 (01:20:44):
We need this style. We need more Tour de France
on the radio. You and you and Mark need to
do more Tour to France and afternoon drive in Portland. Well,
there's an NBA draft coming up? Should we no more
tour to France?

Speaker 6 (01:20:57):
What one of the best busses I had, who came
in out of nowhere and for us, spent three months
learning the station and the personalities and then made it better.

Speaker 1 (01:21:11):
I don't think they've got I don't think they got
three months. They got a draft coming up in eight weeks,
so they got they got stuff to do, and free
agency starts July first. Yeah, before they do, I'm with you.

Speaker 5 (01:21:21):
Four to five, go nights, go still sore. We have
a Stanley Cup and you have what a single playoff run?

Speaker 6 (01:21:26):
Ha ha?

Speaker 1 (01:21:27):
So glad I moved out of Seattle before an NHL team.
Right now, you go pounce him. Yes, we'll take a break,
come back with more. Next No from the Star.

Cracking and the Twelfth Man. Brought to you by Seattle's closest.
No call me casino and hotel. On Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ R FM.

Speaker 1 (01:24:22):
Read this first text real quick, John Lund over under
two ten air time on Calshie. Seriously, they need to
put that on Calcie.

Speaker 4 (01:24:29):
I might already be up there.

Speaker 1 (01:24:31):
First of all, normally we would blame one. He gave
us a heads up earlier. It's time. He did say
he's got a meeting until at least two o'clock. So
we'll either get him here in the next few minutes
or we'll take a break and then we'll get him
here later in the half hout.

Speaker 4 (01:24:45):
We do need someone there.

Speaker 1 (01:24:47):
He did give us a heads up. He did that
whole Calshy thing. I thought that was illegal, now is
it not? No, No, in our state, I think, I
think almost anything. I think turned four. Erguson's trying to
get rid of it, trying to but I think it's
still legal as of now. I saw someone showed it
to me the other day. It's actually it's a way
to get around sports betting, and see.

Speaker 5 (01:25:07):
It's and the funny thing is it is sports literally
sports betting, but it's technically a prediction market.

Speaker 1 (01:25:14):
They say, yeah, okay, one of our goes, are they
not sponsoring us? It goes beyond I thought they were
on the air here and then they got taken off
or something. But I could be just I think you
should put a John lund Seriously, I think two things
you can put on calsh Okay things.

Speaker 4 (01:25:30):
Well, I get fired for doing this from home company,
I'm going anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:25:39):
Me are two things we could predict?

Speaker 4 (01:25:41):
Would that fall into sports?

Speaker 9 (01:25:44):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:25:44):
Is there a broadcast element? I don't know. Probably is
two things we could have for Calshi for us John
lens over undertime every Tuesday. Number two would be Josian's phone.
Now here's the funny thing about that, because I, yes,
I see your tax we all see your taxt.

Speaker 3 (01:26:01):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:26:03):
The one funny one is Joe Sheen some sort of
bird sanctuary. It did sound like he was like at
a zoo or something.

Speaker 4 (01:26:08):
Probably outside.

Speaker 1 (01:26:10):
Yeah, he was outside. Oh there you goes. Yeah, probably
little little We are jess As promising next week we
have a solution. We won't get into details. We have
a solution that sounds like.

Speaker 4 (01:26:22):
I am not putting my number into Calshi. By the way,
and yes, we will have a solution to she.

Speaker 1 (01:26:30):
You do Yeah, can you Okay, so so hang on
a second, so with this thing, with this thing, because
I know it's like all kinds of stuff. Can you
tell them what you want to better or waiting whatever?

Speaker 5 (01:26:41):
Like no, they have it like up, So okay, it's
technically an investment. It's not like betting technically is.

Speaker 4 (01:26:49):
It one of those things the stock market on a
different place.

Speaker 5 (01:26:53):
Exactly, But instead of predicting the outcomes of stocks, are
predicting the outcomes of.

Speaker 1 (01:26:56):
This field sporting event. It feels sketchy and other things.
It feels sketchy, I'm telling right now. It feels well, Jess,
you were probably just getting into the business, I'm guessing
when remember when offshore betting was massive, like like there's

(01:27:18):
I knew about that before I was, but like like
that was man when I was the end of the
tenure in Salt Lake and then in Portland, the offshore
betting sites and whatever it was, those things were, but
those companies were like the biggest spenders on sports radio,
Like they spent eight zillion dollars on sports radio. Yeah,

(01:27:38):
I just knew about it, and I remember I never
got involved with the memory asking a couple of guys
that are like, hey, so, yeah, I want this. I
wanted to go, how do you cast your money out?
Because there's no VENMO back. Then oh, they go, yeah,
that's always kind of an issue. And then it turned
into an issue connect your bank account on him?

Speaker 4 (01:27:54):
Well yeah, and that's also.

Speaker 1 (01:27:56):
Well here's my problems. Here's here's my problem. I don't
don't even know how to connect them.

Speaker 4 (01:28:03):
I don't connected because I'd have to go.

Speaker 1 (01:28:05):
I'd have to go to the little general and say, hey,
I want to connect to the bank account. What for
this little thing called wagering sports wager members? You just
know about that, Okay, that's why. That's why we have
the Snow Qualmi Casino and the app that is free.
When you go up there and you join the Snow
caual Me Casino, Crescent Club, you download it and it's
all here in the palm of your hands. And if

(01:28:27):
I want to cash it out, if I ever do win,
I just go up to the thing and say, yeah,
here's my account number, and they just give me cash
money homie, just like that.

Speaker 6 (01:28:35):
I just have an idea, what is it for calshie.
Let's say four nine four five one over unders. People
at this station just text them in.

Speaker 1 (01:28:47):
What have an account?

Speaker 3 (01:28:48):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (01:28:49):
No, no, no, just like if you were going to
make an over under on what anyone? But what do
you mean anytimes you do something? How many times Softy
does something? How many times we could do that to something?

Speaker 9 (01:29:03):
We could maybe do that to you?

Speaker 1 (01:29:04):
We got too many, we got too many texts already.

Speaker 4 (01:29:06):
We got off saying like, hey, okay, if we're gonna
do calshi, let's do it right. Okay, there are a
lot of texts.

Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
Yeah, all right, we got a lot of texts. Let's
do this. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back,
hopefully check in with one. If not, we'll get to
all the texts. Let's get the over under on when
LUN's coming. Let's go. Well, he had a meeting at least.

Speaker 4 (01:29:28):
I thought it would be over by two, So I'm
going to fifty. I'm going five.

Speaker 1 (01:29:35):
I was told he's actually doing the Clifford Show right
now and he'll be done. So that's I just got
that tag. I'm doing the Clifford Show. As soon as
I've know with Clifford, I'll let you guys know. All right,

Speaker 1 (01:32:43):
I'll sit in the control room and seeing my career
come crumbling, do a halt.

Speaker 4 (01:32:49):
You should bring a six back and you and Andrews
should have one in there, and I deal with it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
Oh, I'm down for that. You can't because it's no
she would run it. No, those idiots will probably know you.
You need to corral these guys. I'm my buddy Shrek. Yeah,
that's his name, that's his last name. He is, Uh,
he's kind of the lead guy here in charge. He's

(01:33:16):
asking me segment length already. God, different things like that.

Speaker 4 (01:33:20):
At least he's planning and they want to plan with you.

Speaker 1 (01:33:23):
So yes, that will.

Speaker 4 (01:33:24):
God, are we going to be Are we going to
have a group.

Speaker 1 (01:33:28):
Yeah, you have a group chat. I'll connect you with him.
They need to find the best way to make an
embarrassed during this time.

Speaker 6 (01:33:34):
Okay, then group chatted up sorry, guys, if you're watching
slash listening, So here's.

Speaker 1 (01:33:40):
Here was here was a thing that, here was a thing.
They The best part was when I had to go
in and talk to Purple Sheet and get the final okay, yesterday.
So I start bringing it up and he goes, yeah, yeah,
I've been kind of hearing rumblings about this, and then
he gives me this look. He's like, he just gives
me this look, like really, I said, well, listen, there
could be worse things your host has to do for

(01:34:01):
being bad at fantasy football. And he's like, yeah, he
didn't buy that. It was He's I think he's more
nervous than I am, and I'm fairly nervous. So anyway,
if you want to hear, if you want to hear
a complete and total train wreck, great ten days from
today at two o'clock, I did tell them more than likely,

(01:34:23):
but justice is you and there they want show meetings,
and I said, well, first of all, first of all,
that's a whole new concept on this show. It is
a whole new concept.

Speaker 4 (01:34:35):
Say take this more seriously than.

Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
Yeah, they're gonna take it a way more seriously.

Speaker 4 (01:34:40):
Yeah, Okay, ideas and notes.

Speaker 1 (01:34:44):
Yeah, So they'll they'll take it more serious than me.
I'm going to connect you with Shrack.

Speaker 4 (01:34:49):
Here after the show. Should we get some talkbacks that day?

Speaker 2 (01:34:53):
Right now?

Speaker 4 (01:34:54):
Yeah, I really want to hear more of that. I
know him preparing.

Speaker 1 (01:35:00):
You keep me updated on things. Like I said, the
purple sheet, I just getting passed through him was hard enough.
And his look at me and just the whole it was.

Speaker 6 (01:35:09):
It's kind of like a common idea and I can't
wait to produce it.

Speaker 4 (01:35:13):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
Okay, I'll be career highlight for you.

Speaker 4 (01:35:15):
Right, good deal, right on the resume.

Speaker 1 (01:35:19):
Just is in charge. That was what I heard. Hey,
here we go, let's get some talk guys.

Speaker 9 (01:35:23):
Fire away.

Speaker 12 (01:35:24):
Hey, I in Seattle sports guy here with another Seattle
sports update. The Mariners have finally figured out what's going
on with Cal Rowly, as reports out of the clubhouses
that he thought Ops was for over persistent swinging, which
has led to his oh for forty slump. Duman Williams
sue a forty three yard touchdown pass in the Husky
spring game, but it was to a receiver wearing purple,

(01:35:47):
which he thought played for LSU.

Speaker 4 (01:35:50):
He later apologized in the news conference.

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
Thanks Ian, Thank you very much. That was the helpless
Did he apologize? Oh that's a good thing. Yeah, at
least he apologize. They see apologize. You got one. We
got more, all right, fire Amy. I say this in
all capital letters, thank you, lots of exclamation points. Load management.

Speaker 3 (01:36:08):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:36:09):
When Greg Popovich sat Tim Duncan and David Robinson for
the first time, that was the beginning of the end
for me and the NBA. To me, that's the biggest
change in sports that I've not agreed with.

Speaker 9 (01:36:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:36:21):
And and the thing with that is it's not it's
not the official it's like the other ones we've been
telling that, not the great great talkback. That's the one
that just kind of evolved. It didn't. It's not like
an official thing. It's not a rule, right, it's just
but it's like a load man, I hate load management.

Speaker 4 (01:36:39):
Oh, it's just no, it's like a pet thing.

Speaker 1 (01:36:41):
Yeah, that's that's it, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
What do you got hey?

Speaker 1 (01:36:45):
There? Ian Jessmine and Anders Chris e Buren, Chris E Burrien.

Speaker 15 (01:36:49):
The dumbest idea in sports is Ian losing a showdowing
Tiger Woods to use a driver under no circum stances.
Should Tiger be allowed to drive anything, including.

Speaker 9 (01:37:05):
A golf ball. This has been your humor for the day.

Speaker 1 (01:37:10):
Let's go man airs Wolf, I'd be our friend, Chris
and Burion and beer. He got me too pretty hard, Fireway, Ian.

Speaker 16 (01:37:20):
Jess and rejection and Ferris feilt here just got done stomaching.
But I could have Howard Chultzen everywhere, whatever the hell
it was. You know, it's pretty impressive to be both
a successful businessman and the failure failure failure. But Schultzi
likes to live at the motto procnelost dose.

Speaker 14 (01:37:32):
I did not like it.

Speaker 1 (01:37:33):
I did not enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (01:37:34):
And honestly, mister Schultz, you can lick my butt hole.

Speaker 1 (01:37:37):
Sounders at seven thirty.

Speaker 4 (01:37:39):
I'm sorry that sounded exactly like him.

Speaker 1 (01:37:42):
Sounders at seven thirty. That is what gets me every time.

Speaker 4 (01:37:53):
Can you play the first?

Speaker 3 (01:37:54):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:37:54):
I think the last part we'm not sure if we
need to keep it in there. In fact, we probably
need to get out of it before the last line.
But give me like, discuss me.

Speaker 16 (01:38:01):
It sounds Ian Jess, interjection, furious felts here just got
done something. But I could have Howard Chilten every where,
whatever the hell it was. You know, it's pretty impressive
to be both a successful businessman and the failure failure,
failure little Schultz. He likes to live by the motto
porkingalos does.

Speaker 4 (01:38:16):
That he is Jackson, right? I don't think so, Chatty number.

Speaker 1 (01:38:22):
That is insane, furious felts. He called himself. He's Jackson here.

Speaker 4 (01:38:26):
That is what the boys.

Speaker 1 (01:38:28):
We need to play that for Softy at two forty five.
That's it's borderline terrifying, is what it is. Yeah, but
there's another one out there, because he's out there right
now doing like fun with audio or something.

Speaker 4 (01:38:43):
And he's okay, just use four five, five, go five? Okay,
oh one more? Uh we actually got two on one
just came in and it's good, all right. The worst
idea in sports one is the excess.

Speaker 13 (01:39:00):
Well, Vince McMahon, that's all you really need to say.

Speaker 12 (01:39:02):
Two is Ian giving up an hour of his show
for Fantasy Football Talk.

Speaker 4 (01:39:08):
Lord help us when they're running that show.

Speaker 1 (01:39:11):
We may need Clifford to call in. Well hopefully Clifford.
Oh I will say this function is confirmed. He will
come on that day and talk to you guys. And
you've tried to explain.

Speaker 5 (01:39:21):
Why that Ian is he gonna explain your loss because
he gave you so much advice over the year.

Speaker 1 (01:39:26):
He didn't give me as much advice as I needed, apparently,
and the worst listen, I didn't want this to happen. Understand,
I've never been so stressed in fantasy football that I
wasn't there in the home stretch of this thing, like really,
like this can't happen and it will. Are you got
one more talk back?

Speaker 13 (01:39:43):
Okay, Hey, Jess, I'll keep it positive. My favorite recently
thing in sports is the Hockey Kraken Network going on
for free games. I watch nine more games now that
they are free on the Crack and Hockey Network. That
is the best thing to happen to hockey in the

(01:40:05):
town in forever.

Speaker 4 (01:40:07):
Later, Goerner Crack and Hockey Network positivity.

Speaker 1 (01:40:10):
We love that. That's a good way to end.

Speaker 4 (01:40:12):
Yeah, never reminded me of Mike and Ed.

Speaker 1 (01:40:14):
Bit. Let's put that in the audit.

Speaker 4 (01:40:16):
That's put that in the audit.

Speaker 1 (01:40:20):
Send that to Sam right away in the audit. Best
thing to happen is the Crack and Hockey Network KHN. Baby,
what about the Crack and Audio Network. But it's existed
for a while, it's been around, Paz. Yeah, kh and
the Crack and Hockey Networks only two years old. The
Crack and Audio Network and Network Central that's been there
since day one, Ladies and gentlemen, five tremendous years.

Speaker 4 (01:40:42):
All right, it sounded exactly like Mike.

Speaker 1 (01:40:45):
Did tell Ian Clifford should be part of the Fantasy Hour. Well,
if Clifford wants to call in during the Fantasy Hour,
I'm sure you'll take talkbacks on that. In fact, if
really I would say this, I would encourage more talkbacks
than ever before. That's less of them, more of you, yeah,
more of more or of you listening right now? We
trust you, guys, the listeners, more than we trust them.
Like I'm gonna tell you this. A traveling band of idiots.

Speaker 6 (01:41:06):
Is what it is.

Speaker 4 (01:41:07):
Wait, are you talking about our show?

Speaker 9 (01:41:09):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:41:09):
No, the people that are filling in, filling in. I
was just saying, the people that are filling in is
it's a traveling band.

Speaker 5 (01:41:15):
But by the way, did you guys get the the
person that tweeted us about Clifford.

Speaker 1 (01:41:22):
They looked him up and looked like, who is this guy?

Speaker 2 (01:41:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:41:25):
I got this explanation? Is Flifford. Taylor the Fourth is
known for his unusual path in sports. He was a
high school basketball player who went to the University of
Florida and essentially talked his way onto the football team
as a walk on. He also made a name for
himself on TikTok. Is there anything specific he'd like to know?
I guess this is from an Ai.

Speaker 4 (01:41:42):
I did see this.

Speaker 6 (01:41:45):
It is from and he talked his way to do
a podcast seventeen seventy six.

Speaker 1 (01:41:50):
Yeah, he talked his way into doing a podcast too, which.

Speaker 6 (01:41:54):
Is a revolutionary person with the seventeen seventy six.

Speaker 4 (01:41:58):
I wonder if that's true, and uh, we will find out.

Speaker 6 (01:42:02):
I don't think you can get a podcast without at
least doing something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:42:07):
Oh you can't. Oh, yes, podcast, I don't know about that.

Speaker 4 (01:42:12):
All right, I'm leaving. I'm starting my own. Yeah, probably
would be more successful than us, Yes I would. Yes,
all right, here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:42:21):
We get some text four and I'm way way back
to when they first came back. Yes, yes, yes, yes, Uh. Well,
by the way, Tim, when that Ian wasn't watching Colorado Minnesota,
I know I did when I watched the NBA and
gave me my little confession earlier. I watched the NBA
last night after anything else. Manders were done. Manyers played
five hockey games, and five they were both done. I
had had the computer screen up, and they're both done.

(01:42:42):
Like you watched the n B A won't happen tonight? Well,
actually yes, no, because because there's a late hockey games
six starty.

Speaker 4 (01:42:52):
Game, you're still going to You're going to change.

Speaker 1 (01:42:54):
What do you what do you hate about sport? The
worst things that have happened, Like current hockey play form
where you get two of the best teams face off
each other in the first round. I agreee, And this
is actually that the NHL playoff format is very much
like March Madness in this sense. The only person that
likes the expansion of the tournament is, as Parish told

(01:43:19):
us yesterday, Greg Sank. The only one that likes the
playoff form of the NHL is Gary Beman. The problem
is they both basically run the show for the respective leagues.

Speaker 4 (01:43:27):
I mean, that's how it goes.

Speaker 1 (01:43:28):
How about three on three Olympic hockey? Yeah no, No,
let's see moving a professional basketball team from the thirteenth
market to the forty seventh rank TV market. Yeah, that
was a bad idea. That was a bad idea. Yeah,
This isn't an idea but a current practice. Putting MLS
games on a streaming service and requiring an NLS package,

(01:43:49):
it is not.

Speaker 5 (01:43:50):
A current practice. If you have Apple TV, you get MLS.
You know, have to pay the extra packet now, right,
But I think that was a bad idea. What was
going to Apple to V period for everybody? Yeah, because
you had a lot of teams, I think you should
have done it like you do with Yeah with baseball,

(01:44:12):
if you want to do be part of a national
package just behind a paywall, which.

Speaker 1 (01:44:16):
They're starting to have some of that going on.

Speaker 2 (01:44:19):
One of them. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:44:20):
Fine, if you have a good local deal with local affiliates,
then you should be able to do that. Like you
look at the Yankees and the Sounders and the Sounders Portland,
Salt Lake, Kansas City and think all had really good
local TVNS. A lot of the West Coast teams to do. Yeah,
just let them do that. We talked about salary cap
as well. They need a salary cap floor, not a

(01:44:42):
salary cap. They are going to have a floor. So
if they do have a salary cap, they will have
a floor as well. That's kind of one positive side
if they do go that way, and I think there's
a couple of teams that would actually have to come
up if I'm not mistaken right now, right thyka at
least three or four?

Speaker 6 (01:44:55):
Yes, Yes, I like this one from Jim that just
came in. Howard Schultz a man among men. Keep your
ass in Florida and keep our city out of your mind.

Speaker 3 (01:45:06):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:45:06):
We discussed that early in the show. Today, the Howard
Schultz off ed piece for the Wall Street Journal is
just Chris Daniels is the one that brought it up.
Give Chris like in a way it could hurt us.
Is he trying to circumvent the NBA coming back here?
I think he wants to be in on the I
think he wants to be involved, so he's trying to like,

(01:45:26):
I don't know he for a guy that's a billionaire,
he seems to be really dumb.

Speaker 4 (01:45:33):
Wait billionaire, Well.

Speaker 1 (01:45:37):
Give credit, give give him credit for credits to I mean,
he built that thing up, He built it.

Speaker 4 (01:45:42):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:45:43):
I don't hate to do that, but.

Speaker 4 (01:45:44):
It's you're correct.

Speaker 5 (01:45:46):
I don't want you to be if you're looking at
strictly like him making it good business.

Speaker 1 (01:45:51):
Other bad ideas besides the NCA Trent Live golf sucks,
but I don't know if that counts because PGA didn't
do it. Yeah, the live was a bad idea, but
it was a mean did people start getting all upset
about this stuff. But the thing with the live is
it was done for one reason, sports washing. Nothing to
see here, move along, let's give our Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:46:10):
It's I mean, you get offer that much money, It's like, well, hello.

Speaker 1 (01:46:15):
Yeah, we talked about it when it first happen because
you know, a friend of the station, Arl Whites, the
play by play guy, Yeah he is, and you know,
I remember having that conversation. He got a lot of
crap for it. It's got a lot of grief. And
we had that conversation on the air. I know, I know,
I did a show on it and saying, okay, well,
if they came to you and said they're going to
pay you X to do it, would you do it?

(01:46:38):
And man, I don't know what the answer is. There
is a number. I'll say that everyone's got a number. Yeah, right,
everyone's got a number. And with that one specifically, well,
I think with that it's it's a little bit harder
for us to relate to because the average professional golfer,

(01:47:02):
not all of them. But guys that were being recruited
by Live are already people that are really well off.
They've buy and large, they've already got all kinds of
sponsorship deals which you get paid for whether you win
or lose. But then you know, if you're good enough
for Live was trying to get you, you were making money.
That was different.

Speaker 4 (01:47:21):
Also, let's be completely honest, if you're playing golf a lot, probably.

Speaker 6 (01:47:25):
Well off, like just in general, if you're being flown
to the Middle East to play golf.

Speaker 2 (01:47:31):
Yeah, but play that.

Speaker 1 (01:47:33):
They play all they play everywhere. Sorry, but if here's
the thing you're getting, you're getting paid by, you're getting
paid by the government's audio. Yeah, that would be scary
for me.

Speaker 4 (01:47:43):
So okay, John Lund, Yes now or tomorrow tomorrow. It's
we're going to do tomorrow tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:47:50):
Find let's try to see if you can do two
o'clock to the sign comes out tomorrow, sun will come
out tomorrow. Alrighty Annie, let's see, uh I and Joe,
you can ask you about your superpower. Wouldn't that be
your ability to consume a high end brown water?

Speaker 2 (01:48:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:48:07):
High end brown water. That sounds like whiskey to me,
that is whiskey. Yes, okay, I'm just making sure you
making a I got a.

Speaker 1 (01:48:14):
Field I got a field trip coming up this weekend
and head down the Chambers Bay is still re see
our friends down there.

Speaker 4 (01:48:20):
That's what you're doing.

Speaker 1 (01:48:22):
You got a good cow?

Speaker 3 (01:48:23):
She bet here?

Speaker 2 (01:48:23):
What do you got?

Speaker 5 (01:48:24):
Four to five? What happens first? Dan Wilson gets ejected
or Cawl getting above two hundred batting?

Speaker 1 (01:48:31):
Okay, when was the last time Wilson got ejected? Like
middle of last year?

Speaker 3 (01:48:35):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:48:35):
Really?

Speaker 1 (01:48:35):
Yeah, he doesn't get ejected.

Speaker 6 (01:48:37):
He doesn't, but he like did it, like I feel
like he doesn't when he actually does it, he's like,
I gotta remember this.

Speaker 1 (01:48:44):
I think that he got ejected when lou Panello was
in the stadium.

Speaker 4 (01:48:47):
Actually yeah, yeah, I did one of these things like
oh crap, but here.

Speaker 1 (01:48:52):
Wait wait, let's just go back for a seconds. So
do we are we really worried that Cal's gonna get
not get above two hundred? And what's this batting average?

Speaker 4 (01:49:00):
Now? It's early?

Speaker 1 (01:49:02):
Oh wait a second, stop it it's it's what it's
hanging on. No, no, no, uh he's hitting one fifty seven.
It's gonna take quite a bit to get above to
to get above two hundred at this point.

Speaker 5 (01:49:12):
And he's not a high average guy anyway. No, he's
too even if he's last year something around that.

Speaker 1 (01:49:18):
Yeah, so for him to get to from one fifty
seven with it's gonna behold, the season already done, it's
going to be tight. He'd really have to go on
a heater.

Speaker 2 (01:49:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:49:30):
Wait, what was the time frame before jam Wilson gets ejected?

Speaker 1 (01:49:35):
Which one happens first?

Speaker 4 (01:49:36):
Which one happens? Oh, it's definitely.

Speaker 1 (01:49:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:49:39):
I don't think Dan's gonna get anytime.

Speaker 1 (01:49:43):
Series other bad ideas and addition to the NCAA tournament,
I hate everything about the NBA. Phantom foul calls, load management,
lazy players, sign me up for hockey, soccer, football, baseball,
any of it. Just not NBA basketball.

Speaker 5 (01:49:56):
That's sports idea. Twelve to three show on KJR, what
what huh?

Speaker 1 (01:49:59):
Yeah? Should have been one to three, Jeremy should be
one to three, should be one to three.

Speaker 4 (01:50:07):
Two five, says Jess. I'm doing heavy duty yard work.

Speaker 2 (01:50:09):
That was not me, Mike.

Speaker 4 (01:50:11):
I'm actually writing him back right now.

Speaker 6 (01:50:14):
I love.

Speaker 1 (01:50:16):
He's listening.

Speaker 8 (01:50:17):
He is.

Speaker 1 (01:50:18):
You should do more Tour de France, not over hoops
or football, but it's way better than in favorsport, which
is hockey. I'm sure it's what you've mentioning. No, we're
not doing it name five see two five three without
looking it up. Give me five riders right now?
