(00:00):
I know our next guest, bythe way, is an Angel fan.
I know that because I was goingthrough our text messages like the last five
or six years, and I foundone from twenty eighteen. Albert Poohols came
up here and collected his three thousandthhit in Seattle, and I asked Greg
Biggins, who's a big Angel fan, Hey, you want the ticket stub?
And he said yes. So didI ever send that to you?

(00:21):
By the way, Greg, didyou get that? You did not?
Oh wow, that showed me.That showed me a lot about you.
So I never asked you for anythingever again, because I knew that you
were Kinna. You were that guy. Promise this stuff, it doesn't deliver.
So I was, are we talkingbaseball right now? We're not talk
baseball at all. I don't evenknow. I don't know talk about anything

(00:43):
else. How about those Florida Panthers. Hey, wait a minute, time
out. I'm certain that I putthat thing in the mail and send it
to your house. No, younever got it. I never got it.
And it's all good because did Iactually hear you say you were root
for the Edmonton Orler? I was, I was, I'm park Canadian if
you didn't know that well as along time LA Kings fan, like almost

(01:07):
anybody other than the Oilers for me. But shoot, man, there they're
good though. Man, they weregood and McDavid was unreal. So it
was it was a fun series forsure. I got to go find that
ticket stub somewhere and get in themiddle to you. But I guarantee you,
six years later, there's no chancei'll find that thing. I have
no idea where it is, butI gotta ask it. Because you're an
Angel fan. I know that.Are you a Laker? Are you a

(01:27):
Laker fan too? Yeah? Youknow I am. I'm a SoCal guy,
so you know, Lakers, Kings, Angels, Ram, I'm that
guy who kind of feels like,you know, you should like the team.
You know that you that you're from. Right, if I live where
you lived, I'd be a Huskie. I'd be you know, I'd be
SuperSonics, I'd be all all thosenot to bring up SuperSonics, but yeah,
i'd be you know, cracking.I would love my teams that I

(01:49):
that I'm from. So I wasgonna ask you live in or County.
People always say why aren't you aDodger? Fan. If you're if you're
an La Kings fan, I hatethe Ducks. It's because I was already
you know, a Kings family forthe ever got here. That's why I'm
a discreddled Angels fan. I wishI could be a Dodger fan, but
I can't because I was. Youknow, the Angels chose me. I
didn't choose them, that's for sure. Well, what do you make of

(02:09):
JJ Reddick dropping f bombs at thispress conference yesterday? You know, honestly,
like, I'm not a big youknow, I don't cuss. I
don't only care if people do.But it just kind of seemed out of
place. I don't know, itjust kind of seemed it was weird for
me, Like I didn't know whatthe point of it was. He's so
well spoken, and you listen tome, kind of sound like a professor.
Everything he said very measured, soto throw it out there, I

(02:31):
don't know, it just kind ofseemed like it was I don't know,
it kind of seemed like it washe did it just for you know,
for clicks. It was. Itdidn't too much for me. Well,
let's talk some Husky football recruiting man, because it was a hell of a
week for Jetfish. Man up tothirty seconds in the two four seven team
rankings overall. I don't know wherethey were last week, but man,

(02:52):
what a week for Jetfish. Let'stalk about some of the highlights man.
And the guy that came in today. This four star tight end from Fullerton
vander and I was looking for hisfirst name, but his name is vander
Pluge. One of the top tightends in America. How big of a
gut is that for Jed Fish?You think, yeah, no, I'm
a big fan of vander Plugue,you know, cliche time, But he

(03:15):
checks off all the boxes that welook for in the next level of tight
end, which is a couple ofthings. Number one, multi sport athleticism.
And you look at the NFL Draft, which is kind of what we
value terms and player rankings. Yousee a lot of guys that are multi
sport athletes in high school at thetight end position. Those guys that are
you know, those six four andsixty five and two sixty pound tight ends,

(03:36):
they don't make it. It's thetwo hundred and ten pounds big receiver
who grows into a tight end.Those are the guys you see have the
most next level success. Vander Plugereally really good basketball player. I mean
literally could play probably lower level basketballin college. Grew up playing baseball.
Both his parents are basketball coaches.He's only played football for two years,
but he's a natural. And againthat's why, you know, we love

(03:57):
that multi sport. When you watchhim play a tight end, you kind
of see the basketball in there.He tracks the football really well, soft
hands, high level body control,love the way you compete. Saw him
a ton this off season playing alot of seven on seven. So for
me, I mean, he's gotthe frame six six, He's gonna be
able to easily gain some weight andbe very productive. So I think you
take Vanderplube and kind of, youknow, pair him with with Bear Naoni,

(04:18):
who's more of that big, physicalinline blocker type that can also make
some plays. That's a really niceone two touch at the tight end edition.
Well, tell us a little bitmore about naoone because it was making
the rounds around Twitter yesterday, howWashington got Oregon's best player. Yeah,
and then Duck fans were like,well, we didn't even offer him,

(04:38):
so why don't you clear that up? How how good a player is he?
And is it true that Oregon wasnot interested in him? Oregon was
not interested. But that's okay,right, we can keep it positive.
You don't have to, you know, I know there was like I love
that Washington Oregon rivalry. It's awesomefor me to watch from AFAR. But
you know what, regardless of whetherthe Ducks offered, he is a quality

(04:59):
player too, player again another thingthat we value two way snaps. Also
a pretty good you know guy inthe age. I think he could you
know, could have legitimately been acollege prospect as an edge rusher defensive lineman.
So he's got that frame, he'sgot that good off get off again.
I think he checks off, youknow what to look for. You
know, he's probably more of thatpossession guy. If you're kind of comparing
him with Plu. He's not theathlete, but he's he's maybe a little

(05:23):
bit more polished in terms of youknow, running routes and getting open and
using his boy to get kind ofgain separation as a lot of tight ends
like to do. He's that kindof that security third down and eight security
blanket you want to go to,whereas Plu maybe more of that downfield you
know that guy, big play threat, maybe a little more worn after catch
is Pluge Baron probably more of amore physical player, better blocker right now,

(05:44):
stronger, you know, maybe youknow that guy who's more of the
security, you know, short handedguy. So again, I love those
two, you know together, Ithink tight end. I love the tight
end position. I think both ofthose guys are really good. Yeah,
Oregon didn't offer him because Dan Lanning'sstupid, That's why. And Duck fans
are dumb. Just don't ever forgetthat, Greg, those are both facts.
Greg Biggins two four to seven Sportsis with us on the ear.

(06:09):
How about the kid from Riverside,Jonathan Epperson, four star from Auburn down
here in this neck of the woods. What does he play you think at
the next level. So me andyou know Brendan Huffman, Bloian Goodla.
We saw him at the under Armouredcamp in Seattle that last month. I've
actually been April, and he's realintriguing and kind of have a hybrid maybe

(06:30):
more of a safety frame, buthe'll play a linebacker. Also has some
you know, pretty good tape atrunning back. But he's a defensive guy
and I think he's going to growinto a linebacker probably, like I said,
kind of a hybrid tweet er type, six feet two ten, so
you know, safety frame, butyou know he's a banger and he can
cover, and at that camp hewas probably my favorite cover linebacker. He
was running with guys down the field, good ball skills, good ball awareness.

(06:54):
You see a lot of guys tryingto cover and they're just clutching and
grabbing and holding. You can callpenalty eighteen different times. Episod wasn't like
that. You know, he wassmooth and coverage gets downhill, quicks feet
tested really well, So I meanthey could move him around and use him
in a lot of different ways,you know, like a week sidebacker is
probably where I see him covering backsome tight ends. But he's got some
physicality to him as well, soI like the traditional versatility. You're number

(07:17):
one Husky commit so far for twentytwenty fives from Valley Christian and San Jose.
Tell us about Champ Talley LEA nicejob with with that name, by
the way, yeah, in frontof him, it's pretty easy, Tao
leah LEYA I would have done.Yeah, No, it's paulin it.

(07:38):
I'm Hawaiian, So Paulin you gotto pronounce every single letter, so you
need a good job. That nointerior guy all the way. But he
does play tackle, which again forme, it's a lot easier to go
outside in than inside out, right, if you're a tackle, easier to
move to guard than is if you'rea high school guard. To try to
move to tackle at the next level, you want to have those tackle feet
balance, and that's what Champ doeshigh school tackle. But he's a strong,

(08:00):
physical kid, plays angry plays,being six' four and he's three
twenty. But again, you know, he moves, he's got balance,
He's not a lumbering kind of slowfooted, heavy lego guy. And he's
got some punch. You know,he's a guy who said, you know,
used the term he plays through thewhistle. You know, he'll knock
you down and then and then knockyou down again and then lay on top
of you just because he can.So I like Champ. I think physically

(08:22):
he's at top two hundred plot nationally, and because because the frame of the
physicality, I think he's a guywho come in I always say, man,
if you can red shirt every offensivelineman, right, because you're playing
against grown men when you get tocollege. But Champ is that guy.
I think he can he can plubprobably be in that too deep as a
true fresh and because of the size, the frame of the physicality. Yeah,
well, Greg Biggans two four toseven sports is with us. I

(08:43):
was just looking up so Kaitlin deBor's first year, they had eight four
star guys after his first year.Jed Fish, I believe right now has
three four star players committed up tothirty two overall. I mean, do
we look at this classes kind ofimpressive with what Jed Fish been able to
do or is it kind of whereyou thought they'd be? Yeah, no,
I do. I mean they shouldget a they should get a bump,

(09:05):
right. They just made it tothe college football Playoff, even though
it's a new staff. Jed's areally good recruiter. You know, I've
known Jed for a long time.Actually had a great conversation with him about
a week into the job at Arizona, and I kind of knew right then.
It's funny I tell the story alot, but you know, we
talked and he kind of told mehis vision and what he wanted to do,
and you know, he is aplayers coach, very very good evaluator.

(09:28):
You know, he went to Arizonaand he got a lot of guys
that may not have been highly rated. They were good high school football players,
but you kind of just wondered aboutthe projection, right, did they
already peak in high school? Notmany other people wanted to know a Fafita
or a Jacob Montuo, a fiveto ten metal linebacker. And there's a
bunch of players like that, youknow. And so I think Jed went
and he knows what he wants,and Employer's had a specific system and he

(09:52):
plugs guys in and they do agood job of development. And so I
knew whether they would sign a highlyready class or not that they matter for
me because I trust Jed in termsof his eyes, his evaluation skill and
his development most of all. Right, development. You know, I used
to cover basketball when I first startedback in the nineties, and you know,
basketball is different. You can seethese guys going straight to the NBA.

(10:13):
With football, it's all about thatdevelopment. You can't have these guys
going straight to the NFL out outof high school like you could with basketball.
So Jed, you know, he'sgot a keen eye. He does
a great job kind of with hisfamily atmosphere. You'll probably hear that every
time a kid takes a visit toArizona. Now it's Washington. Hey,
how is the trip? Love?The family atmosphere, the way Jed provides

(10:33):
not just him but his coaching staffs. The wives are always around on the
visit. Get given that family feel. We call it the Aloha spirit.
So no, I think Jed's woulddo a great job regardless of a you
know, a player ranking or ateam ranking. How about the in state
guys that haven't committed yet for twentytwenty five? The how good is this

(10:54):
class of players in Washington State thisyear? It's pretty good? You know.
You know Rainy Sales, the linebacker'sday we call him. You know,
he's he's I think it's U C. L A or Washington. You
know, I think he's done withtrip. I don't know if he's put
out a date yet, but youknow he would he would be a big
fish for them to land. I'mnot sure again where he's ranked in state.

(11:15):
I think he's probably one or two. But you know that that's one
of the main guys that are stillwaiting on. They landed Eperson, they
landed Clemens Waverley that you know,there's a few other guys that that they're
in on but not really pushing.I would say, if you're asking me
to rank like the top ten WashingtonState players, not Washington Cougars, but

(11:35):
like thestead of Washington, I wouldsay maybe a little bit top heavy,
not a lot of great depth.I like the top three four guys after
that. You know, I againnot to bring up the dreaded over.
I thought Demitri Manning going to Oregonthat was a loss. I think again,
he's talented, could have couldn't haveto play for anybody out West and
beyond. So losing him was aloss. But you know, I think
they made up for it with,you know, with getting Champs. So

(11:58):
Rainy Sale would be the last realin state guy that if they lighted him,
you would feel good. Eperson numbertwo, Raindy Sale number one.
After that, if they lose someguys, I've always you know, it's
funny. I was talking to someoneabout USC football and someone was saying,
Hey, doesn't matter if they don'tget everybody in state, and I said,
no, get the best players ifthey're from in state. Or they're
from Vermont, Texas like the wholeBuill defense. That's never meant that much

(12:22):
to me. Go get the bestplayers, no matter where they rat.
And I think Jed Fish in Washington, that's what they want to do.
Yeah. Well, and then anotherguy from Moregan that I think committed over
the weekend, Dominic Macon is thatright from Oregon, from Happy Valley,
three star defensive lineman. I hadn'theard of the guy until he committed to
you, Dub, tell me aboutDominic Macon from Oregon, So here's what

(12:43):
you need to know about him.And then the guy we saw at the
camp in Seattle, the under Armoredcamp, and I didn't know who he
was either that I didn't even nevereven heard of the high school he was
from. And I asked Tuffman abouthim. Relatively new school but six three
and a half, three hundred pounds, and just watched him in those bag
drills, and I found that lateron. It's another thing that we love
that translates undefeated state heavyweight champion inwrestling. So he was thirty three and

(13:05):
oh and again if you look atlineman and you watch the NFL Draft,
so many of those guys that getdrafted highly were either high school wrestlers or
they to the shot in the discusmulti sport athletics in But the wrestling background
for Lineman, especially interior d Lineman, that hit rate is extremely high.
Right, Aaron Donald high school wrestler, and that's what you can go on

(13:28):
and on on and not comparing makeinto Aaron Donald. But I think the
guy right now, maybe I'd beraaded a mid a mid level three star,
but stock up guy for sure,Like he's the guy that we're gonna
watch closely because number one, lovethe frame, love the athletic background.
Now to to football name. Kindof a cleeper kid, but a guy

(13:48):
that we're gonna watch, and Ithink he's gonna trend up just in the
trades are definitely next level for sure. Number four corner in America. Dijon
Lee from Mission Vieo's got Washington listedin his final six, but he's going
up against Alabama and Georgia and Texas. Is there any chance the Dogs get
this guy when he announces on Friday? Yeah, I mean I would say
he's a long shot. You know, Honestly, at this time last year,

(14:09):
I think Washington probably was the leader. You know, he had a
really good relationship with you know,the coaches at you dub and you know
specifically you know Courtney Morgan general managerde boor was was really involved in coach
jews. But I think right nowthe rumors Bama Georgia probably number two.
I think it's kind of an secbattle, to be honest with you.
So you know, if I hadto put in a cursal ball prediction,

(14:33):
in fact I did earlier in theweek, and it's for Alabama. But
that's you know, the way whereCretney works. Now. You continue to
recruit these guys and even if youdon't get him this year, there's that
thing called the transfer portal or kidyou know, like to jump in there
at this you know, to jumpof a hat. And so you continue
to recruit the guy, You builda relationship with him, and if you
lose in my high school, donot from that baradge. Don't give him
the hey, you know, ifyou can't play there, you don't ever

(14:56):
give him that speech. Just sayhey, great, great job, good
luck to you. And then inthree years from now, two years from
now, man, you can alwaysalways try to get him. If he
goes into the portal. Hey,Greg, before you go, I'm not
bringing this up just to be asmart ass. I'm genuinely curious. Oh
maybe part of the yeah ass,but I'm kind of I'm really genuinely curious.
Greg Biggins from two four seven withUS talking to recruiting. Last year,

(15:18):
Wazoo had the sixty second rated classin the country. Twenty twenty three
it was sixty three. Now they'vefallen so far, all the way down
to eighty first in America. Howmuch are they hurting without having a conference.
I would say, I would sayit's a factor for sure, you
know, and I think Oregon Stateas well. You know, I think

(15:43):
the pack to again. For me, and I've always been a Pac ten
slash Pac twelve guy, So Iwas kind of disappointed, not just for
football, but like I love watchinglike softball and soccer and the volleyball.
I loved it was Olympic sports.So you know, when the Pac twelve
broke up, I looked disappointed,and then I was really disappointed for Wazoo
and Oregon States. I think inthe major sports, physically football, both

(16:04):
those two schools can be very competitive. And you know what I think every
school is going to use it againstthem right now. NIL is such a
huge place, and so even ifit wasn't a conference, it's NIL and
they don't have the same kind ofNIL collective that other schools do. And
so I think it's the combination ofno conference plus you know, other schools

(16:25):
just be able to throw more moneyat the kids. It's now legal to
basically, you know, pay forplay. So long winded way of saying
no conference fifiliation. Yeah, it'sdefinitely playing a role I think for both
those two schools. Greg want toask you one about the upcoming classes twenty
twenty four class that is going tobe playing this fall thirtieth overall you've got

(16:45):
UW rank but eleventh and transfer ranking. So maybe just you know, give
us a thought on what Jed Fishwas able to do in a short amount
of time trying to just scrape togethera football team for this year. Yeah.
I think what happen up and itwas interesting. I think a lot
of people thought that, you know, Washington was going to really be able
to clean up with a lot ofArizona guys, and including me, I

(17:07):
right when the switch happened, Iexpected, you know, Noah Fafida and
t Mac and a couple of guysthat could Joe go and jump ship to
go to Washington and it didn't happen. But you know what, I still
think Jed did did a really goodjob. I think he kept the majority
of that class together. I thinkhe kept you know a lot of the
key guys from leaving who you know, they're always rumors about, Hey,

(17:30):
these guys are all gonna jump intothe portal now. So I think he
did a pretty good job of keepingthat class together. At Washington, guys
like a like a packing canal andyou know, other players and then you
know, getting an effusions price sock. Well, I think it's an NFL
corner, right. That was theone guy that they did get from Arizona,
and that was a key, keyguy. I mean, like I
said, he's a big, long, athletic corner who will play in the
NFL. Yeah, uh, wheneverhe decides to go out. So overall,

(17:53):
I think Jed did a good jobin the portal and also keeping the
high school class together. And youknow, I I'm excited. I'm excited
to see how they do this.Well. Greg Biggins, great stuff.
Always love having you on I gottabe honest with you. I may have
to rethink this sending you that ticketstub from the three thousandth hit for Albert
Poolholes. I'm looking on eBay.There's one for eight hundred bucks right now.

(18:14):
Really, Yeah, maybe I didthe right thing by not giving that
thing to you. You don't haveit either. We may have to negotiate
nowhere. It's somewhere. I'll findit. I'll find it, you know
what's full full transparency. I wasnever a big I was never a big
pool Holes guy. I thought tobe something you'd like to have. You're
you're forgiven. You're forgiven for letme down, you know, you know.

(18:37):
I don't think it's intentional, butno, always going to catch up
with you guys. Tell my wifethat, by the way, I let
her down constantly. That'd be greatto be forgiven by her. Greg.
Yeah, good stuff. We'll talksoon. By appreciate it man, Greg
Biggins with us. Yeah. I'mlooking at a text messager, at a
Twitter d M from like six yearsago, or I literally took a picture

(18:59):
here, look to twenty eighteen.Do you want this? It's from Pooholes,
three thousandth May fifth, twenty eighteenright there, Yes, I would
love to have it. Gave mehis address, and I never sent the
freaking thing. Hell, that's unlikeyou. That's fourth eight hundred bucks.
That's unlike you. We usually forgetsomething. What was that? All right,
we're gonna break. John Wilder joinsa five on ninety three three KJRFM

(19:21):
live from the R and R FoundationSpecialist Broadcast studio. Now back to Softie
and Dick on your home for theHuskies and the Kraken Sports Radio ninety three
point three kJ r FM. Allright, John Wilder joining us at five
o'clock tonight. Greg Biggins two fourto seven Sports Big Thanks Dan for jumping

(19:44):
on the air talking Husky football recruiting. He's very good on the air when
we get to talking about recruiting.That's kind of my fault. I kind
of babbled a bit about the Lakerthing. I just I really wanted to
get his thoughts on JJ Reddick trappinga couple of F bombs. So when
I asked him, are you aLaker fan? And then five and it's
later, Yes, I'm a Lakerfan. Yeah. But I like the
fact that in between those five minuteshe took like four shots at you.

(20:04):
Yeah, you liked that. Youlike what you took a shot at me
on social media? Dead I sawthat I did. I think it not
at all totally misrenders. Go ahead, bring it up. I didn't even
see this, So I'll just tellyou. So the last couple of weeks
we've been he's been telling me aboutmy prediction back in April. But the
Mariners being ten games up by theAll Star Birds. Yeah, which they

(20:26):
were ten games up five days ago, four or five days ago ago.
Right, So I go on Twitterand take a little bit of a celebratory
lap, which I never do andI will never ever do again, for
exactly this reason. It's incredibly douchey. I hate when people gloat. I
hate when people say, look atme and what I said, look at

(20:47):
what I did. It drives mefreaking nuts. And you know that about
me. I felt that way forthirty years in this business. So the
one time I do it, Iget burnt. So I put it is
it a gift for a gift?Gift? I put a gift of Tony
Sopran having a cigar above my littletweet that I set out back in April.
As if I thought to say,look at me with a great prediction.

(21:07):
Instead, people like you took itas me saying the division race is
over with like ninety games left togo, which, let me ask you
a question, honestly, do youthink I believed the division race was over
with ninety games ago? Then whywould you say what you said today too?
And why would you say what yousaid four days ago? And if
you don't believe what you said,why would you say? Okay? And

(21:30):
what I said four days ago wassimply because you're you said prediction, Marins
are gonna run away with the Westmight be up ten by the break,
and then he retweets it six daysago with the with the cigar Tony san
And all I said six days agowas whoa cigar in June? And I
did the little emoji of the ekeemoji right right. But you literally just

(21:51):
said to yourself. And the reasonwhy you would say whoa cigar in June
is because you would think if youthought I said the division race was over,
then you would say that. Twothings. You just said you don't
think I said that, so twothings? And then today Jackson, just
how ridiculous it's it's petty, it'sgreat. And so today I said,
I retweeted that cigar smoke, andI said, the Mariners have gone one

(22:15):
in five and from ten games upto five point five games up since this
tweet, Right, I put thatout there. So you're saying it's my
fault for the Mariner's slide. Yes, you're blaming me. Two things can
be true. One, you youmade a very bold and yes, I
did very accurate claim that the Marinerswere ten games up before the All Star
break. Correct. The other thingthat can be true is that was a

(22:38):
misappropriation of the gift, because thecigar gift is universally known as a completion
a victory. You smoke a cigar. Correct, when the race is over,
right, and the race is notnear, There's there's a million gifts
that you rate. What race?What race? The division race? No?

(23:00):
No, no, no, therace to ten games up? It
was over I did it. Imade it. I deserve a cigar.
This is my problem. Let's goback to the original wording. The original
wording. Correct. They may beup ten games correct, right, and
I was correct about that, andnow they're not. Now they're five and
a half up. So I wascongratulating. This is why I hate doing

(23:22):
break or by here is the exactor by exact word? What's the words?
Prediction? Yes, the Mariners aregoing to run away with the West.
I still might be ten up bythe break, might be, might
be twofold per set said the lastparty in the last party to be ten
by the break. By the break, correct, by the break, not

(23:45):
at the break. By the break. The first line that says the Mariners
are going to run away with thewill on the plastic still long time.
I'm focusing on right here. Bythe break. You said the guard ship
is a p It is appropriate becausethey were by the break nine taking a
victory lap. For myself, I'mglad you're getting killed on Twitter for the

(24:07):
team well, because people are dumb. Okay, it's all about the fan,
the flames. My body over here, guilty is sure. I amn't
going. You know what all thosetexts I tell you, Jackson, don't
play the criticized. I hear everythingI want you to. I want to
hear them all. So this iswhy I don't do this. This is

(24:27):
why. Because you sound like aschmuck, you look like an idiot.
You gotta let your work speak foritself, man, and I will tell
you this. You are literally whatwe are doing. In essence, here
is two fifty year old men areon the air arguing about the proper gift
usage on Twitter. That's right?Are you kidding me? People now feel

(24:48):
dumber for hearing this radio show,and may they have mercy on our show
any other day? They turned theseradio show off because here's the thing,
as Jackson said, they still mayrun away from the with the division.
And then number two, let's talkabout the spirit of the prediction. When
the prediction came out, look itup on your little Baseball reference dot com.

(25:10):
What day did I make that call? By the way, what day
did I put that? It waslike late April, right late April,
and yes I was late April,okay, But what was the exact date
for the exact for twenty seven?Let's look up where the Mariners were on
four to twenty seven. How manygames up on first place or out of
first place were they on the twentyseventh you set of April's that right on

(25:33):
the twenty seventh of April, theMariners were a lot of data. They
were up a game and a half, okay, So the spirit is that
you had somebody me say that theMariners would be ten games up when nobody
saw that coming, when they werea game and a half up. But
you also said the tweet they're goingto run away with the rest rest and

(25:56):
I don't think that's going to happen. To find runaway if they went by
six games, five games, ifthey clinched, were a week left to
go, I mean, what isrunning away? We can define that if
you want, that's fine, butten games up. Here's this guy over
here, this guy over here,this guy walks into a bar, this
guy over here, I remember youand you were very kind kissing my ass

(26:18):
for two weeks. Oh my god, if you make that call, call
over that he's busting my balls onlybecause of the gift. What happened?
So again, we got two fiftyyear old white guys who are so unhipp
it's ridiculous debating and fighting on theair about the proper gift. You says
saying, what do we know aboutgifts? We know nothing nothing. I
know gifts were created when we werelike what thirty five. This isn't about

(26:41):
the gift. This is about thewording of the original tweet by the break
they were ten up by the break, but they aren't ten up. They
well they may still beat then theyaren't. I think, I think if
you were to eliminate the first line, the Mariners are going to run away
with the West, you just takethat out right, and you just say
prediction, right, the Marriners mightbe up ten by the break. That

(27:02):
then you can do the cigar.Then you would allow it. But the
first line is the Marriers are goingto run away with the last. Still
again you realize that, I amjust giving myself a pat on the back,
which again I hate doing that.It will never ever, ever,
ever ever you do that. Idon't give a damn what you think.
I don't like it. I'm notdoing that anymore. I don't like it
when you do it. I hateit more when I do it. But
you do whatever you want. You'rea grown man. If you want to

(27:23):
compliment yourself, go ahead. Iam just simply giving myself a pat on
the back for saying the Mariners wouldbe ten games up, and it actually
happened, and I took a victorylap. I got crapped on for it,
and I will never ever do itagain. My God, all right,
text the audios play them all,all the Anti just look at Blake's
texts. Who Blake is. Bythe way, Blake is constantly pointing out

(27:49):
how stupid we are, how badthe show is, how dumb the radio
station is. But man, hehears everything we say. It is insane.
