02:06 --> 02:16 [SPEAKER_01]: And we welcome you to this episode of The Marine Layer podcast part up to just baseball podcast network recording on Monday evening September first post game of Mondays lost to the raise.
02:17 --> 02:19 [SPEAKER_01]: I literally refuse to talk about this game.
02:19 --> 02:26 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to say a fucking word about it because it's same shit different day of what we just talked about.
02:26 --> 02:27 [SPEAKER_01]: Same thing.
02:28 --> 02:37 [SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully when this comes out on Wednesday, the Mariners just had a fifteen to one win down in Tampa and then we're going to sound ridiculous and people will actually be a little more upbeat.
02:37 --> 02:39 [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, as we sit here Monday night recording this.
02:41 --> 02:42 [SPEAKER_02]: What do you want us to say people?
02:43 --> 02:45 [SPEAKER_02]: One of the worst outings of the entire year.
02:45 --> 02:47 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what else you want us to say terrible.
02:48 --> 02:49 [SPEAKER_01]: It was right out of the road game playbook.
02:49 --> 02:52 [SPEAKER_01]: Terrible start offense got shut out for eight innings.
02:53 --> 02:54 [SPEAKER_01]: There's sloppy play.
02:55 --> 02:57 [SPEAKER_01]: Tampa Bay's closing on him.
02:57 --> 02:58 [SPEAKER_01]: Here's a question.
02:59 --> 03:13 [SPEAKER_01]: By the end of this series, when someone might listen to this post game on Wednesday, I'd be curious to know the answer to this when we get to that point, or the Mariners going to be closer to the Astros or to the race, because the race, by the way, are now four and a half back after today's one.
03:14 --> 03:16 [SPEAKER_01]: Mariners are three games back of the Astros.
03:22 --> 03:31 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to say the race but good lord dude if this free fall doesn't stop it's going to be and by the way you might want to fill in the dots for people
03:32 --> 03:36 [SPEAKER_02]: The race might be four back of the Mariners right now while the Mariners sit three back in the Astros.
03:37 --> 03:49 [SPEAKER_02]: In between that is the Kansas City Royals sitting two games back and the Texas Rangers, now one and a half out the Texas Rangers.
03:49 --> 03:57 [SPEAKER_02]: The Marcus Semianless, Corey Seegerless, Nathan of Aldiless, Texas Rangers are a game and a half out.
03:58 --> 03:58 [SPEAKER_02]: Why are we doing this?
03:58 --> 03:59 [SPEAKER_02]: We got to move on.
03:59 --> 04:01 [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to get ourselves down.
04:01 --> 04:02 [SPEAKER_01]: We just framed that wrong dog.
04:02 --> 04:04 [SPEAKER_01]: You framed it totally wrong.
04:04 --> 04:06 [SPEAKER_01]: It's not who the Rangers don't have.
04:06 --> 04:08 [SPEAKER_01]: It's that the Rangers are being led by Dylan Moore.
04:09 --> 04:11 [SPEAKER_01]: Routy to us and Sam Hagrid.
04:14 --> 04:14 [SPEAKER_02]: Sam Hagrid.
04:14 --> 04:16 [SPEAKER_01]: We are going to get ourselves in trouble.
04:16 --> 04:17 [SPEAKER_02]: Now I get ourselves in trouble.
04:17 --> 04:19 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not talking about getting ourselves in trouble.
04:19 --> 04:21 [SPEAKER_02]: We're just going to go down too much of a rabbit hole.
04:21 --> 04:25 [SPEAKER_02]: When this is supposed to be a fun episode, awesome, awesome interview with Joel Damon.
04:25 --> 04:28 [SPEAKER_02]: It was so cool to have him on and you guys are going to love it.
04:29 --> 04:31 [SPEAKER_02]: And we should be talking about Harry Ford getting called up.
04:31 --> 04:32 [SPEAKER_02]: So let's just
04:32 --> 04:33 [SPEAKER_02]: Let's just stop it here.
04:33 --> 04:37 [SPEAKER_02]: By the way, it's two and a half back, but the royals are after Monday night.
04:37 --> 04:39 [SPEAKER_02]: So whatever, two and a half back are the royals.
04:39 --> 04:43 [SPEAKER_02]: One and a half back are the Rangers, four back are both the guardians in the race.
04:43 --> 04:44 [SPEAKER_02]: Let's just stop it right here.
04:45 --> 04:46 [SPEAKER_02]: Let's just stop it right there.
04:46 --> 04:47 [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to move on to Harry Ford.
04:47 --> 04:49 [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to move on to Joel Damon because people don't want to hear it.
04:49 --> 04:50 [SPEAKER_02]: Good luck, Brian Wu.
04:50 --> 04:50 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
04:51 --> 04:56 [SPEAKER_02]: By the time this comes out, please let us be thinking about a Brian Wu seven shut out outing.
04:56 --> 04:56 [SPEAKER_02]: Please.
04:56 --> 04:58 [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, people don't want to hear about this.
04:58 --> 04:59 [SPEAKER_02]: Let's move on.
05:00 --> 05:02 [SPEAKER_01]: So Harry Ford gets promoted here on Monday.
05:03 --> 05:06 [SPEAKER_01]: As the roster's expand, the Mariners finally move on from down of in Solano.
05:06 --> 05:07 [SPEAKER_01]: Harry Ford comes up.
05:07 --> 05:09 [SPEAKER_01]: Leo Reeves comes up.
05:09 --> 05:10 [SPEAKER_01]: Donovan Solano gets DFA.
05:12 --> 05:26 [SPEAKER_01]: What is your take on Harry Ford being the one that gets called up over say, someone like Ben Williamson, who could see a little bit more playing time on this roster, or some odd Taylor or someone like that, or Mastro, or Mastro.
05:26 --> 05:27 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
05:28 --> 05:49 [SPEAKER_02]: It says to me that the Mariners value having a third catcher, and that on days where Garver's gonna catch and Cal DHS, you can take Garver out of the game without having to put Cal back behind the plate and not give him a full off day, but off his feet, and let him not have to go back there and catch on a day where you're trying to have him not be back behind the plate.
05:49 --> 05:55 [SPEAKER_02]: That's what it says to me, paired with the fact that how much more does Harry Ford really have to do in AAA with the season winding down?
05:57 --> 06:02 [SPEAKER_01]: Not that much, I will say his AAA performance is tapered off quite a bit since his June.
06:10 --> 06:12 [SPEAKER_01]: And to go, it's fine.
06:12 --> 06:14 [SPEAKER_01]: It's been good, but that was never gonna keep up what he didn't do.
06:15 --> 06:16 [SPEAKER_01]: It was not, no.
06:16 --> 06:23 [SPEAKER_01]: But when you saw him hitting as well as he did, and his overall season numbers look great, it looks like pretty standard Harry Ford.
06:24 --> 06:31 [SPEAKER_01]: I'll say this, just as note from a roster move perspective, the manners are gonna have to make a move on Harry Ford within the next month and a half anyways.
06:31 --> 06:33 [SPEAKER_01]: As soon as the season ends, you gotta put them on the Forty Man.
06:34 --> 06:36 [SPEAKER_01]: Otherwise, he gets subject to the real five draft.
06:36 --> 06:42 [SPEAKER_01]: So they're gonna have to move them up anyway, and I think the Mariners wanted to see at least a little bit of what Harry Ford had to offer.
06:43 --> 06:57 [SPEAKER_01]: If Harry Ford's gonna be up here though, I don't want him just being used as a backup catcher, like for in the scenario you laid out where they pull Garver or they pull Cal from a game, which I can't imagine they would, but say in some scenario they do, they still have another catcher on the bench.
06:57 --> 06:59 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want him being up here like that.
07:00 --> 07:05 [SPEAKER_01]: If he's up here, what I would want is for that to be used as an excuse to Cal off his feet.
07:06 --> 07:06 [SPEAKER_01]: It's Cal.
07:08 --> 07:13 [SPEAKER_01]: The last month in change as we've highlighted on here has not been the same player.
07:13 --> 07:14 [SPEAKER_01]: He's hit his home runs.
07:14 --> 07:15 [SPEAKER_01]: He really hasn't done much else.
07:16 --> 07:17 [SPEAKER_01]: He's really slowed down offensively.
07:18 --> 07:21 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm I'm thinking that the where and tear the catching position.
07:22 --> 07:23 [SPEAKER_01]: Skating to him a little bit, which is fine.
07:23 --> 07:26 [SPEAKER_01]: When you play every day, that's going to be expected.
07:27 --> 07:30 [SPEAKER_01]: but something that'll help him out will be taking him off his feet a little bit.
07:30 --> 07:33 [SPEAKER_01]: And you'd still put him in the lineup, he'll still de-H.
07:33 --> 07:34 [SPEAKER_01]: That's fine.
07:34 --> 07:41 [SPEAKER_01]: It's the best option at de-H you have, but it'd be a good opportunity to get Harry into the lineup and get Cal off his feet.
07:41 --> 07:42 [SPEAKER_01]: Which I think is the most important thing.
07:43 --> 07:47 [SPEAKER_02]: The only thing is, this pitching staff doesn't really know Harry Ford.
07:48 --> 07:49 [SPEAKER_02]: These guys haven't really pitched too much.
07:49 --> 07:51 [SPEAKER_02]: She hasn't worked with them much.
07:51 --> 07:54 [SPEAKER_02]: With a month left, how much can you really throw him into the fire?
07:55 --> 07:56 [SPEAKER_02]: So then why is he up?
07:58 --> 07:59 [SPEAKER_02]: think as they want a third catcher.
07:59 --> 08:02 [SPEAKER_02]: It reminds me a little bit of and I tweeted this earlier.
08:02 --> 08:06 [SPEAKER_02]: It reminds me a little bit of what they did with Cal in twenty twenty one.
08:06 --> 08:14 [SPEAKER_02]: Cal wasn't quite the prospect that Harry Ford was, but they call them up and he struggled by the overall numbers in twenty twenty one.
08:16 --> 08:18 [SPEAKER_02]: But overall he was more there to be a third catcher.
08:19 --> 08:21 [SPEAKER_02]: and soak up the learning experience.
08:21 --> 08:25 [SPEAKER_02]: Because he was not playing over Tom Murphy, he was not playing over Louise Tarens at that time.
08:26 --> 08:30 [SPEAKER_02]: He was there down the stretch if they needed a third catcher, and he caught a little bit.
08:30 --> 08:32 [SPEAKER_02]: And then in twenty twenty two, he obviously took off.
08:33 --> 08:36 [SPEAKER_02]: I think Harry Ford's there to catch every now and then.
08:36 --> 08:37 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's going to be a lot.
08:38 --> 08:42 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe you mix in a D. H. Day or two throughout the week.
08:43 --> 08:46 [SPEAKER_02]: And otherwise he's just not going to have some extensive role.
08:48 --> 08:52 [SPEAKER_01]: If he's not going to have some extensive role, I get the value of the experience.
08:52 --> 08:53 [SPEAKER_01]: Totally.
08:53 --> 08:55 [SPEAKER_01]: I would imagine it's very valuable.
08:55 --> 08:58 [SPEAKER_01]: And in most other years, I would be all for it.
08:58 --> 09:02 [SPEAKER_01]: But can I say something else we tweeted out today about how this team is playing right now?
09:03 --> 09:05 [SPEAKER_01]: Like they have to make the playoffs.
09:06 --> 09:15 [SPEAKER_01]: If they're, if not all twenty eight of their roster spots are gunning a hundred percent for making this team as good as possible to make the playoffs, then what are we doing?
09:17 --> 09:20 [SPEAKER_02]: I still think Harry Ford could provide some value with his bat.
09:23 --> 09:23 [SPEAKER_01]: Really?
09:23 --> 09:26 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, a little at the point.
09:27 --> 09:35 [SPEAKER_01]: It's not that I think he's going to be bad, but if you're calling on pinch hitting options, Harry Ford has never seen a big league pitch in a meaningful game before.
09:36 --> 09:37 [SPEAKER_01]: And that's who we're calling off the bench.
09:39 --> 09:43 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe not first, but at the very least, you know he's got the ability to draw walks and as a good approach.
09:44 --> 09:44 [SPEAKER_02]: That should translate.
09:47 --> 09:52 [SPEAKER_01]: If that is what you wanted, you could have put somebody else in AAA on your roster.
09:52 --> 09:54 [SPEAKER_01]: I think Harry's gonna be up here.
09:54 --> 09:58 [SPEAKER_01]: He should be catching and alleviating the other catchers.
09:58 --> 10:04 [SPEAKER_02]: But again, our guys gonna taper off throwing to Harry Ford versus Mitch Garber.
10:04 --> 10:06 [SPEAKER_02]: Because this staff knows Garber.
10:06 --> 10:07 [SPEAKER_02]: He's worked with them for two years.
10:07 --> 10:13 [SPEAKER_02]: He was catching Kirby every fifth start or not every fifth start, every fifth day last year, basically every Kirby start.
10:13 --> 10:14 [SPEAKER_02]: They know these guys.
10:14 --> 10:15 [SPEAKER_02]: They don't really know Harry Ford.
10:18 --> 10:22 [SPEAKER_01]: Who would have a higher OPS if you played them for a month straight on this roster?
10:22 --> 10:23 [SPEAKER_01]: Harry or Mastro?
10:26 --> 10:26 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know.
10:30 --> 10:32 [SPEAKER_01]: I think Harry can be a solid big leaker.
10:32 --> 10:33 [SPEAKER_01]: I really do.
10:34 --> 10:35 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm focused on this month.
10:35 --> 10:36 [SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
10:36 --> 10:38 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not focused on Harry's development in the future.
10:39 --> 10:40 [SPEAKER_01]: this month.
10:41 --> 10:45 [SPEAKER_01]: So as the month matters is just yelled at the start of this episode because they're playing like crap.
10:46 --> 10:58 [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm trying to find some way to get some some sort of production out of the other spots on the roster to alleviate the alleviate the difference that they're currently having with their starters right now.
10:59 --> 11:18 [SPEAKER_01]: if Harry's gonna come up and just not play or he comes up and he's maybe he's just not ready to hit at the big league level in a pinch hitting roll if he's gonna if he's gonna step in the box in the big leagues he should be playing often but I don't see as a third catcher how he's gonna play often so it's a day's gone by your
11:19 --> 11:21 [SPEAKER_02]: stance on this has changed a little bit.
11:21 --> 11:31 [SPEAKER_02]: You sounded a little more excited about it earlier in the day when we were talking about it, over text, but now that we're sitting here, it sounds like you've kind of come to the idea of maybe somebody else's more valuable to have on the roster.
11:32 --> 11:33 [SPEAKER_02]: I think he's earned a promotion.
11:34 --> 11:34 [SPEAKER_01]: Don't get me wrong.
11:35 --> 11:40 [SPEAKER_01]: He's earned this promotion, but the goal is making the playoffs, not promoting guys who have earned it.
11:41 --> 11:46 [SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, you just don't need a third, unless you're trying to give Cal Des off, as I just said,
11:48 --> 12:08 [SPEAKER_01]: What I think there would be more valuable putting other guys on the roster that would make you better would your vote be for Ben or would it be for Mastro because it would be one of the two of them if not Harry if Leo's gonna be up then I would say Because here's gonna be I if Leo's gonna be up I would say Ben because you have a lefty
12:09 --> 12:11 [SPEAKER_02]: But how much is he gonna play?
12:11 --> 12:13 [SPEAKER_02]: Because you're not really gonna call on him to pinch it.
12:14 --> 12:21 [SPEAKER_02]: And you'd really only call on him if you were gonna substitute him defensively late in the game for Gino, which the Mariners would have to be up to do that.
12:22 --> 12:23 [SPEAKER_01]: But you know you would do that.
12:23 --> 12:26 [SPEAKER_01]: There's no way the Mariners would do that for Harry.
12:26 --> 12:28 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they were not coming into the game late.
12:30 --> 12:32 [SPEAKER_01]: Like we said, he'd be the last pinch hitting option.
12:33 --> 12:36 [SPEAKER_01]: At least Ben, you can confidently say the Mariners need defense.
12:36 --> 12:37 [SPEAKER_01]: He's in the game.
12:39 --> 12:40 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's true.
12:40 --> 12:41 [SPEAKER_02]: And things could change throughout September.
12:41 --> 12:43 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe halfway through the month they'll make a change.
12:44 --> 12:44 [SPEAKER_01]: We'll say good.
12:45 --> 12:47 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they don't have to keep Harry out the whole month.
12:48 --> 12:48 [SPEAKER_01]: You're right.
12:48 --> 12:49 [SPEAKER_01]: They're not married to this idea.
12:50 --> 12:55 [SPEAKER_01]: But if they're going to have three catchers, the plus of having three catchers is to rest your other catchers.
12:55 --> 12:59 [SPEAKER_01]: And if they're not going to do that, I just don't really see the point.
12:59 --> 13:01 [SPEAKER_01]: And I would just wait until next year.
13:01 --> 13:03 [SPEAKER_01]: We're Harry's a defined backup catcher.
13:04 --> 13:10 [SPEAKER_01]: they can carve out a role for him when he's going to hit, when he's not going to hit, who is going to catch all these things?
13:10 --> 13:10 [SPEAKER_01]: Great.
13:11 --> 13:15 [SPEAKER_01]: But if the worry is, we can't put him behind the plate because he can't measure this pitching staff now.
13:16 --> 13:19 [SPEAKER_01]: And the only thing would really want him for his pinch hitting.
13:19 --> 13:23 [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, I don't know if he's a good enough pinch hit or at this point for that to be worth it.
13:25 --> 13:26 [SPEAKER_02]: That part's fair.
13:26 --> 13:27 [SPEAKER_02]: And you're right.
13:27 --> 13:29 [SPEAKER_02]: He's obviously never taking a big lead plate appearance.
13:30 --> 13:31 [SPEAKER_02]: I guess we'll see how it plays out.
13:32 --> 13:33 [SPEAKER_02]: It may not be the whole month.
13:34 --> 13:37 [SPEAKER_02]: They may just have them up for a couple weeks, especially while they're on the road.
13:38 --> 13:52 [SPEAKER_02]: And then once they get toward the tail end of the year, maybe we'd see Ben Williamson, keep in mind to none of the guys that they're going to call up are likely going to be on the playoff roster because the playoff roster is going to shrink back down to the twenty six man once the postseason begins.
13:52 --> 13:54 [SPEAKER_02]: If the Mariners are in on that note.
13:55 --> 13:55 [SPEAKER_02]: So
13:56 --> 14:01 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if any of Williamson or Harry Ford or MasterBony would even be on the playoff roster to begin with.
14:02 --> 14:05 [SPEAKER_02]: So maybe one way or another, it's just not that big a deal.
14:08 --> 14:12 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, master, you could see a role just, Harry's not eligible for the postseason roster.
14:12 --> 14:14 [SPEAKER_01]: So that's not even something you would think about.
14:14 --> 14:15 [SPEAKER_02]: Are you sure on that?
14:16 --> 14:17 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not totally sure.
14:17 --> 14:21 [SPEAKER_02]: I think if you're in the organization, you can be on the playoff roster.
14:21 --> 14:27 [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's if you are added from somewhere outside the organization September first or later is when you're ineligible.
14:28 --> 14:34 [SPEAKER_02]: Because remember when Xander Bogart's came up in twenty thirteen for the Red Sox, that was really late, and he was still on the postseason roster.
14:37 --> 14:38 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I guess fair point.
14:38 --> 14:44 [SPEAKER_01]: I think we need to go look up this rule just so we we double check, but Harry does not have a spot on the roster in the postseason.
14:44 --> 14:46 [SPEAKER_01]: It's not he's not going to be on the roster.
14:46 --> 14:52 [SPEAKER_02]: It would it would take an injury to one of the catchers, but Ben Williams and it would likely take an injury at this point, too.
14:53 --> 14:53 [UNKNOWN]: right.
14:54 --> 14:56 [SPEAKER_01]: A hundred percent for what they for what they've laid out.
14:56 --> 14:59 [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm happy for Harry that he got the promotion.
14:59 --> 15:09 [SPEAKER_01]: It's super cool that you get an opportunity of wear a big league uniform and make your dream come true, especially when you saw Cole go up earlier this year and you've hit very well down into coma.
15:09 --> 15:13 [SPEAKER_01]: You've done essentially what you should and now the team wants to give you a chance.
15:14 --> 15:14 [SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.
15:14 --> 15:14 [SPEAKER_01]: Great.
15:15 --> 15:16 [SPEAKER_01]: Love that for him.
15:17 --> 15:20 [SPEAKER_01]: I just don't see the role really for him at all.
15:20 --> 15:20 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
15:22 --> 15:22 [SPEAKER_02]: Again.
15:23 --> 15:25 [SPEAKER_02]: After a couple of weeks, it'll be interesting to circle back to this.
15:25 --> 15:26 [SPEAKER_02]: How many of bats does he have?
15:26 --> 15:28 [SPEAKER_02]: How many innings has he caught?
15:28 --> 15:30 [SPEAKER_02]: What is his role been in the month of September?
15:30 --> 15:37 [SPEAKER_02]: And it'll be interesting to re-circle this conversation and say, OK, do they need to reevaluate during the real home stretch in the final couple weeks?
15:37 --> 15:38 [SPEAKER_02]: Or do they leave him up?
15:39 --> 15:39 [SPEAKER_02]: I think I'll be there.
15:40 --> 15:44 [SPEAKER_01]: And also just think about the different mindsets allow when we use the Cal Example in twenty twenty one.
15:44 --> 15:48 [SPEAKER_01]: Think of the mindset of the organization at twenty twenty one and twenty twenty five.
15:49 --> 15:52 [SPEAKER_01]: The Mariners accidentally got close to the playoffs in twenty twenty one.
15:53 --> 15:53 [SPEAKER_01]: accidentally.
15:54 --> 16:00 [SPEAKER_01]: They got hot in the middle of the season, then tried to reverse that momentum by trading at the deadline and saying they weren't contenders.
16:00 --> 16:05 [SPEAKER_01]: And then they got hot at the end of the season as well and got close to a playoff spot.
16:05 --> 16:09 [SPEAKER_01]: But the roster management didn't really suggest that they were gunning for the playoffs.
16:10 --> 16:11 [SPEAKER_01]: No, but now they are.
16:11 --> 16:12 [SPEAKER_01]: You're right.
16:12 --> 16:20 [SPEAKER_01]: But now they are a hundred percent every single at bat or inning pitched on this team should be used with the mindset to make the playoffs, not as development right now.
16:23 --> 16:23 [SPEAKER_02]: Who?
16:24 --> 16:26 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, again, it'll be fun to circle back to this in a couple of weeks.
16:26 --> 16:29 [SPEAKER_02]: I think we're just about ready to talk to Joel Damon.
16:29 --> 16:31 [SPEAKER_02]: But before we do that, let's take a quick pause.
16:31 --> 16:34 [SPEAKER_02]: Talk to you guys about our awesome friends over at Pagachis Pubade.
16:35 --> 16:36 [SPEAKER_02]: You guys know that's over in Kirkland.
16:36 --> 16:38 [SPEAKER_02]: Again, home stretch here for the M's.
16:38 --> 16:39 [SPEAKER_02]: Football's in full swing now.
16:39 --> 16:41 [SPEAKER_02]: At least in college what ball it is.
16:41 --> 16:43 [SPEAKER_02]: NFL's about to start this week.
16:43 --> 16:45 [SPEAKER_02]: So we're really in the equinox of the sports calendar.
16:45 --> 16:47 [SPEAKER_02]: If you need a place to watch games because of it,
16:48 --> 16:49 [SPEAKER_02]: Head over there to pub eighty five.
16:49 --> 16:50 [SPEAKER_02]: You can hang out with your friends.
16:50 --> 16:52 [SPEAKER_02]: There's twenty TVs in the play.
16:52 --> 16:54 [SPEAKER_02]: So it's an awesome spot to watch all the games.
16:54 --> 16:57 [SPEAKER_02]: You can play pool, darts, there's great food.
16:57 --> 17:02 [SPEAKER_02]: And if you go during happy hour, you can get yourself three and four dollar happy hour drinks from two to six p.m.
17:03 --> 17:03 [SPEAKER_02]: on Monday through Friday.
17:03 --> 17:04 [SPEAKER_02]: Those are awesome deals.
17:05 --> 17:08 [SPEAKER_02]: All of that is over at Pagaches pub eighty five over in Kirkland.
17:10 --> 17:13 [SPEAKER_01]: This is pretty close to one of our white will guests allow.
17:14 --> 17:15 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm very proud of us.
17:15 --> 17:19 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm very proud that we managed to get Joel David on.
17:19 --> 17:23 [SPEAKER_01]: It's now, how many guests have we had on now that have also been on PMT?
17:24 --> 17:24 [SPEAKER_01]: Hang on, Frank.
17:25 --> 17:26 [SPEAKER_02]: On part of my take.
17:26 --> 17:28 [SPEAKER_01]: Just drink.
17:28 --> 17:31 [SPEAKER_02]: Just so people know the ones when you say PMT, yeah, on part of my take.
17:32 --> 17:33 [SPEAKER_02]: Crab, this has been on part of my take.
17:33 --> 17:33 [SPEAKER_02]: So that's three.
17:33 --> 17:35 [SPEAKER_01]: That's three.
17:35 --> 17:36 [SPEAKER_01]: We miss anyone.
17:38 --> 17:39 [SPEAKER_02]: No, I think we got them all.
17:39 --> 17:40 [SPEAKER_02]: Any other national people?
17:41 --> 17:41 [SPEAKER_02]: No.
17:42 --> 17:42 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
17:43 --> 17:44 [SPEAKER_01]: I guess not.
17:45 --> 17:45 [SPEAKER_01]: No.
17:45 --> 17:46 [SPEAKER_02]: That's pretty cool, though.
17:46 --> 17:47 [SPEAKER_01]: Joel.
17:47 --> 17:51 [SPEAKER_02]: We've had Dallas, Braden, do social media interviews with us.
17:51 --> 17:54 [SPEAKER_02]: He's obviously been on part of my take, but not on the podcast, not yet at least.
17:55 --> 17:56 [SPEAKER_01]: We're trying.
17:56 --> 17:57 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
17:58 --> 17:59 [SPEAKER_01]: But Joel was great.
17:59 --> 18:06 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's a very good golfer, but this dude is as die hard of a Seattle sports fan as the rest of you.
18:06 --> 18:09 [SPEAKER_01]: You can hear it in this conversation just how we're talking about the M's.
18:10 --> 18:14 [SPEAKER_01]: He follows them very closely when he can from his, from his home in Arizona.
18:14 --> 18:16 [SPEAKER_01]: He loves Seattle sports.
18:16 --> 18:17 [SPEAKER_01]: He loves the Mariners.
18:18 --> 18:25 [SPEAKER_01]: And it was awesome to get his side of the story and all this growing up in Clarkson playing golf, playing it the way it's management.
18:26 --> 18:36 [SPEAKER_01]: interacting with Mariners players interacting with the organization very fun very different conversation I'll say well honestly coming at a good time right now for people who might need a little bit of a pick me out
18:36 --> 18:38 [SPEAKER_01]: I think people need to pick me up.
18:38 --> 18:40 [SPEAKER_02]: And Joel Damon is an awesome pick me up.
18:41 --> 18:47 [SPEAKER_02]: Again, you took the words right out of my mouth, but die hard, marijuana's fan, die hard Seattle sports fan.
18:47 --> 18:49 [SPEAKER_02]: He was even telling us after the podcast.
18:49 --> 18:52 [SPEAKER_02]: He's like, yeah, one day, my golf career is over.
18:52 --> 18:55 [SPEAKER_02]: I'd love to just sit around and talk about Seattle sports one day.
18:55 --> 18:58 [SPEAKER_02]: That's what he got to do here with us for the next forty to forty five minutes.
18:58 --> 18:59 [SPEAKER_02]: And it was a blast to have him on.
18:59 --> 19:01 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure it's not going to be the last time we have him on.
19:01 --> 19:01 [SPEAKER_02]: So
19:03 --> 19:06 [SPEAKER_02]: I'll just shut up for you guys, and TJ will too, because we'll let you sit back and listen to this.
19:07 --> 19:08 [SPEAKER_02]: We at a blast with this one.
19:09 --> 19:11 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's get you guys to the interview with Joel Damon.
19:14 --> 19:17 [SPEAKER_01]: All right, we got a very, very special guest on with us.
19:18 --> 19:26 [SPEAKER_01]: PGA golfer, cancer survivor, Clarkson Washington native, and one of the biggest Seattle sports fans out there on the internet.
19:26 --> 19:27 [SPEAKER_01]: He's Joel Damon.
19:27 --> 19:30 [SPEAKER_01]: Joel, thanks so much for taking some time to join us.
19:30 --> 19:32 [SPEAKER_01]: How are we feeling about the M's these days?
19:33 --> 19:35 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, thanks for having me on guys.
19:37 --> 19:38 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm feeling great about the end.
19:38 --> 19:47 [SPEAKER_00]: The last last night obviously sucked in our East Coast road trip a week or two ago wasn't wasn't great, but I I fluctuate in fandom
19:49 --> 20:10 [SPEAKER_00]: a bit because of my travel schedule tried to catch them on TV having a family so uh... and it's been easy not to watch them the last ten years or so uh... but i feel like the last few years i really gained some ground again bought him a new package again kind of back in so i make sure my couch uh... on y'all track as much they can and fell on guys like you makes it really easy for me
20:11 --> 20:27 [SPEAKER_01]: or how many type of guy where you can be golfing in some sort of competitive nature whether it be a warm up around I wouldn't imagine when the like the tour of the rounds are actually going on you have any you have anything on but you're just total focus face but if you're you know if you're practicing say would you have written your
20:30 --> 20:38 [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe not so much in the year, but definitely the app is loaded and checking in between jobs or holes.
20:39 --> 20:40 [SPEAKER_00]: You'd be surprised.
20:40 --> 20:46 [SPEAKER_00]: Come fall, which is coming now basically, but almost every player is checking scores.
20:47 --> 20:50 [SPEAKER_00]: from football or baseball, um, come the weekend.
20:50 --> 20:51 [SPEAKER_00]: So it's a big deal.
20:51 --> 20:54 [SPEAKER_00]: There's sports betting's a big thing.
20:54 --> 20:54 [SPEAKER_00]: We're all degenerates.
20:54 --> 20:57 [SPEAKER_00]: Sports better is basically on tour between Catties and players.
20:57 --> 20:59 [SPEAKER_00]: So everyone wants to know what the score is of every game has.
21:00 --> 21:10 [SPEAKER_00]: So if there's a break on a part five, or you know, you magically go to the bathroom multiple times in multiple holes, you're on your phone, your check-in stores and reporting back on that.
21:10 --> 21:14 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's just, you only have to focus for thirty seconds to a minute on a golf shot.
21:15 --> 21:21 [SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of walking out there, and there's a lot of time to maybe put the phone in the RGB and check out some scores and follow along.
21:21 --> 21:25 [SPEAKER_00]: But Rick Riz, I do need to get him back in my ear a little more often, that's for sure.
21:26 --> 21:28 [SPEAKER_02]: That's actually some hilarious insight.
21:28 --> 21:36 [SPEAKER_02]: You think to yourself, what goes on in the minds of some of the best athletes in the world, like you and so many other people on tour, and it's not, oh, I just hooked my shot on sixteen.
21:37 --> 21:39 [SPEAKER_02]: It's Luis Castillo gave up another bomb.
21:39 --> 21:41 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
21:41 --> 21:43 [SPEAKER_00]: Give him another meatball down the middle.
21:44 --> 21:51 [SPEAKER_00]: For it's a great way to, if you think about golf for five hours and route there, it is too much thinking about golf.
21:51 --> 21:52 [SPEAKER_00]: So you're telling stories.
21:53 --> 21:57 [SPEAKER_00]: And when it's sport season, all we talk about is sports.
21:57 --> 22:00 [SPEAKER_00]: And we all mostly were D-one athletes, right?
22:00 --> 22:04 [SPEAKER_00]: So we all have a team group for, we're a betting interest or something along those lines where,
22:05 --> 22:06 [SPEAKER_00]: That's all we talk about.
22:06 --> 22:10 [SPEAKER_00]: It's like, how's your team going to be, you know, who you have this week, you know, all of those things?
22:10 --> 22:15 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's just, that's just kind of life life as a, as a golfer because they have a lot of downtime as well.
22:15 --> 22:17 [SPEAKER_00]: So it's really fun to be a part of it.
22:18 --> 22:21 [SPEAKER_00]: And the marriage are getting something to, to really room for right now.
22:22 --> 22:25 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, points do you allow yourself to think about golf versus versus other things?
22:25 --> 22:27 [SPEAKER_01]: Is it when you're walking up to your shot?
22:27 --> 22:28 [SPEAKER_01]: And that's it.
22:29 --> 22:35 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, virtually like when you arrive at your ball, so if you hit a three hundred year drive, I mean it takes a couple of minutes to get there.
22:35 --> 22:37 [SPEAKER_00]: You're doing anything.
22:38 --> 22:39 [SPEAKER_00]: They'll be like a ten second.
22:41 --> 23:03 [SPEAKER_00]: chat about what just happened on the shot if it was good if it was bad let me do right what we do wrong and then it's into something else and then you get your ball and you're sure getting your yardage that's when you lock in for the thirty seconds your minute then you hit it ten seconds to talk about whatever happened you can complain as some of us do I'm pretty good about that or complain your cat you're better maybe and then you back into something else for a while
23:04 --> 23:12 [SPEAKER_00]: but there's a lot of downtime out there and there's a lot of time to come up with stories of reminiscing old times or just talk about how good or bad our our sports teams are
23:13 --> 23:17 [SPEAKER_02]: So how much time do you have to actually sit and watch Mariners Game throughout the year?
23:17 --> 23:19 [SPEAKER_02]: Because you just highlighted it.
23:19 --> 23:21 [SPEAKER_02]: You're an insanely busy guy and that's stating the obvious.
23:22 --> 23:26 [SPEAKER_02]: But when you're not checking the app, how much time do you actually have to sit and watch games throughout the year?
23:26 --> 23:29 [SPEAKER_00]: To actually sit on the couch and enjoy a game is pretty rare.
23:29 --> 23:33 [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of times because of the timing, right?
23:33 --> 23:33 [SPEAKER_00]: If I'm on the East Coast.
23:34 --> 23:35 [SPEAKER_00]: Games aren't certain till ten o'clock.
23:35 --> 23:36 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm in bed by them.
23:37 --> 23:40 [SPEAKER_00]: My family travels out my wife and two year old travel quite a bit.
23:40 --> 23:45 [SPEAKER_00]: So kid goes down around seven thirty by the time you kind of
23:46 --> 24:05 [SPEAKER_00]: clean up and get ready for bed like I'm in bed for half of the game support even start so that's just waking up the morning sometimes it's waking up the mill night and wondering what the score is you know hop on twitter and check it out a little bit what's going on but for the most part a lot of it for me is just wake it up the morning and hoping something good happened
24:07 --> 24:29 [SPEAKER_00]: uh... john rehorn who was my assistant washington he's a head coach organ state he's one of the biggest mariner fans i know he grew up in burlington uh... fan of the public skagit he'd get really mad if i said brilliant he's from skagit and uh... he is uh... he got me back into really the mariner's the last few years uh... he bought me a mariner's head cover for my driver so
24:30 --> 24:53 [SPEAKER_00]: that's been on the bag for a while now and he got me really diving back into it so he came from a recently and we stayed up and watched you know we were in Minnesota that week so we watched all the games talk about trade online all those things and that was really fun for me and I really don't back in and at this point I have a few weeks off I am watching them all is a point my wife knows like six forty start
24:54 --> 24:58 [SPEAKER_00]: He helped with bedtime last night because we were down five o'clock all of a sudden before I looked up.
24:58 --> 25:01 [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, now I get more time.
25:01 --> 25:05 [SPEAKER_00]: And this part of the year is great for me to watch, which is also the best time to watch baseball.
25:05 --> 25:07 [SPEAKER_01]: I got to work with John a little bit down in Corvalla.
25:07 --> 25:11 [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know if you know this Joel, but I worked in Corvalla for about three and a half years.
25:11 --> 25:13 [SPEAKER_01]: Had him on our show a few times.
25:13 --> 25:14 [SPEAKER_01]: He's a fan of the pod.
25:14 --> 25:15 [SPEAKER_01]: He's very active.
25:15 --> 25:18 [SPEAKER_01]: He is active interactor with us online.
25:18 --> 25:21 [SPEAKER_01]: So he's he's been very smart.
25:21 --> 25:22 [SPEAKER_00]: He's very smart.
25:23 --> 25:26 [SPEAKER_00]: He's not your typical fan who's gonna react.
25:28 --> 25:29 [SPEAKER_00]: Data data things.
25:29 --> 25:33 [SPEAKER_00]: He has a very coaches view on things.
25:34 --> 25:34 [SPEAKER_00]: He's not level headed.
25:34 --> 25:37 [SPEAKER_00]: He still has some hot takes and gets in.
25:38 --> 25:39 [SPEAKER_00]: But he's great.
25:39 --> 25:42 [SPEAKER_00]: And he's got a few of his former players that are huge fans.
25:42 --> 25:43 [SPEAKER_00]: They have a running group check.
25:43 --> 25:45 [SPEAKER_00]: So there's almost every day talking about the Mariners this time of year.
25:46 --> 25:48 [SPEAKER_00]: And it's been really fun to kind of hop in and follow along.
25:49 --> 25:55 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just I'm excited so how are you as a fan are you would I'll frame it this way are you an optimist or a pessimist?
25:56 --> 26:02 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm typically a pessimist to the point like I said last, you know, a few years prior was kind of tough.
26:02 --> 26:08 [SPEAKER_00]: It was like we were never in the hunt, you know, last year of absolute blue and hugely, after the All-Serve break.
26:08 --> 26:15 [SPEAKER_00]: But it's, it's hard for me to follow as much as I want to, so it's easy to not, right?
26:15 --> 26:17 [SPEAKER_00]: It would be like, oh, we lost again.
26:17 --> 26:20 [SPEAKER_00]: But I feel like some of the different this year we finally made a move with a trade deadline, right?
26:20 --> 26:21 [SPEAKER_00]: So bringing a couple of bats.
26:23 --> 26:26 [SPEAKER_00]: to go with a pitching staff who is solid.
26:26 --> 26:30 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not as good as we were last year, obviously, but I just feel like something is happening.
26:30 --> 26:40 [SPEAKER_00]: We, to puto finally made a couple of moves for us to bring in some of the D-backs, who, you know, I get a watch quite a bit here in Arizona, because they're always on TV, so to bring in Naylor and Geno was awesome.
26:41 --> 26:50 [SPEAKER_00]: And to go on that run, right after the trade online, I think we went with ten and one to start it was that was like really walked me in to like, I'm thinking to the point,
26:51 --> 27:02 [SPEAKER_00]: The playoff schedule came out a couple of weeks ago, and I sat down with my wife, and I said, look, there's game three and four of the world series is a Monday Tuesday in between my weeks.
27:02 --> 27:04 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm flying to wherever this game is.
27:04 --> 27:06 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't care if it's East Coast, West Coast.
27:06 --> 27:17 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going, and so I'm at that point of probably in over the top crazy thinking here, but I also think if we get in the playoffs, we're gonna make a run.
27:18 --> 27:19 [SPEAKER_02]: You know what you sound like with that answer.
27:20 --> 27:23 [SPEAKER_02]: You sound like every Mariners fan in the Pacific Northwest.
27:23 --> 27:30 [SPEAKER_02]: First off with your pessimistic view, because to be honest, if you are a, if you consider yourself an optimistic Mariners fan throughout your life,
27:31 --> 27:33 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you've probably got a screw loose.
27:33 --> 27:44 [SPEAKER_02]: Like you might have hit some laughing gas at the dentist or something, but now when they're right here in the hunt in August and they made all these moves at the deadline, now you're planning out months in advance where you're going to buy tickets to go to the World Series.
27:45 --> 27:47 [SPEAKER_02]: That actually is like pretty on par with everybody I would say.
27:47 --> 27:48 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
27:50 --> 28:10 [SPEAKER_00]: What do we want four or five division titles in our fifty years or something in our last three years and we won three and we made the playoffs five times yeah, and our last division title is a one mm-hmm like this is just obscene like baseball's the most like up and down like you don't have a dominant to yeah for a couple years obviously are gonna be great, but even like
28:11 --> 28:18 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, last year that the tiger sold at the deadline and the plane unbelievable in making playoffs like how does the man has never really done this?
28:19 --> 28:30 [SPEAKER_00]: Certainly in my adult lifetime and it's so at this point I'm just kind of I'm willing to get a heartbroken as every other I think fan is we had a great run obviously
28:31 --> 28:33 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a husky, so their football team has been great.
28:33 --> 28:37 [SPEAKER_00]: I was there in the late, uh, whatever, two thousand six to tenish.
28:38 --> 28:40 [SPEAKER_00]: So we had two sweet, sixteen appearances.
28:40 --> 28:44 [SPEAKER_00]: We had Brockman and Isaiah Thomas, upon Dexter, and Spencer Hawes was a freshman there.
28:44 --> 28:46 [SPEAKER_00]: So, like, I know five, right?
28:46 --> 28:48 [SPEAKER_00]: We had Baron Roy and those guys, right?
28:48 --> 28:49 [SPEAKER_00]: After I committed to UW.
28:49 --> 28:51 [SPEAKER_00]: So, and then their football team has been great.
28:51 --> 28:54 [SPEAKER_00]: From the pinnicks to the Browning years, too.
28:54 --> 28:58 [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I was there with Jake Locker go on twelve, but, like,
28:59 --> 29:13 [SPEAKER_00]: Seattle Sports is actually pretty solid to the sea oxenings Super Bowl and being contenders for a long time so but say overall it's been pretty solid you know we're not just in the dumps like we normally or kind of have been but the managers are finally
29:15 --> 29:37 [SPEAKER_00]: rising and I can feel it's like social media is different about the mariners this year you know that's how I get most of my information and it's just different it's there's more people they're more passionate it's not just though are we gonna you know are we gonna break five hundred this year like what is no word we're for doing this we're gonna beat the astros we're gonna win the frickin division we're gonna have some home games that's a that's what I want
29:38 --> 29:38 [SPEAKER_02]: Love it.
29:39 --> 29:42 [SPEAKER_02]: If they get home games and they win the West, people are going to be so electrified around here.
29:43 --> 29:47 [SPEAKER_02]: Let me ask you, because you were just talking about you get a lot of your information from social media these days.
29:48 --> 29:57 [SPEAKER_02]: When you say you see a lot of Mariners discourse online, do you see it in spurts, or are you straight up right in the weeds of the Thunderdome Mariners Twitter?
29:57 --> 30:01 [SPEAKER_02]: Because I can tell you, there's two people who are right engulfed in it every day.
30:01 --> 30:05 [SPEAKER_02]: It's quite a place at times.
30:05 --> 30:05 [SPEAKER_02]: Let's leave it at that.
30:06 --> 30:14 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's socially, so I was big on social media for a long time in the golf world putting myself out there, having fun with it.
30:15 --> 30:19 [SPEAKER_00]: And as I, when I had my kid, you don't have time, right?
30:19 --> 30:24 [SPEAKER_00]: You just don't have as much time to sit on your phone and bark at people and have all that discourse, which is kind of fun.
30:25 --> 30:41 [SPEAKER_00]: But I've been a long follower of of the beat writers from I mean I remember Bob Kandata from back in the Husky days like I was fall I was on the Seattle Times blog with him all the time like in oh six of seven like who recruiting what are we doing like delicious one of my favorite guys
30:43 --> 30:48 [SPEAKER_00]: I've got to meet Matt Holtz, like, I've got to meet some of these cool guys from that I followed online for a long time.
30:48 --> 30:56 [SPEAKER_00]: And the comments are always going to get some wild, interesting characters that end up every game they're poking and they're saying stuff.
30:56 --> 30:58 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's kind of fun.
30:58 --> 31:04 [SPEAKER_00]: But I get, you know, from when Davis was going this summer, you know, I think Adam Jude filled in and there was a few of the guys that kind of filled in.
31:04 --> 31:07 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm pretty much, I get a wider range of all of it.
31:09 --> 31:10 [SPEAKER_00]: I love reading the comments.
31:10 --> 31:16 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't often chime in anymore because it's not going to lead anything great typically, but it's just fun.
31:16 --> 31:16 [SPEAKER_00]: That's what I do.
31:18 --> 31:25 [SPEAKER_00]: If I'm watching my games, I am on Twitter, and I'm getting updates through everyone as well, and I'm following along on who's pissed off.
31:26 --> 31:30 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Ferguson last night, I'm like, one job is to get a lefty out.
31:30 --> 31:31 [SPEAKER_00]: Come on, get a lefty out, buddy.
31:33 --> 31:34 [SPEAKER_00]: And I didn't work very well.
31:34 --> 31:38 [SPEAKER_00]: So it's one of those things, and then I'm texting with a good friend of mine who grew up in the Northwest, so he grew up in Everidine.
31:40 --> 31:45 [SPEAKER_00]: We're texting every gamer watching, and it's like, why are we bringing first in?
31:45 --> 31:47 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, let's bring in this.
31:47 --> 31:48 [SPEAKER_00]: Let's do Vargas here and whatever.
31:48 --> 31:50 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we don't know what we're doing.
31:50 --> 31:52 [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously we're just a general fan, but I'm
31:53 --> 32:19 [SPEAKER_00]: very involved and uh... i love i mean that's part of being a fan right is actually like my dad wakes up and read the sport section he's almost seven years old it's really fun to get the live updates and no one's going on and uh... i just that's part of being in it for me you're four t-day before t-day get to his next question i got to follow up on this you've never got to play basketball with davish have you i have not i've uh... i met him one time at a tell gates
32:20 --> 32:34 [SPEAKER_00]: It was the Apple Cup, jeez, probably in State team, seventeen or eighteen Alex and Holt and a few other guys, they had their standing crew of a fun few games to play before we go in and have a grand old time.
32:34 --> 32:41 [SPEAKER_00]: It was really fun to meet a lot of those guys, but I've never spent too much time with the crew as much as I'd like to anyways, but it's that way.
32:42 --> 32:47 [SPEAKER_01]: I see he's probably shouldn't have interacted with him on twenty twenty one when Montana beat you dog.
32:47 --> 32:48 [SPEAKER_01]: They're probably a good.
32:49 --> 32:50 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, one side.
32:50 --> 32:53 [SPEAKER_00]: I stayed away from there's a few times he definitely stayed away from a few people.
32:53 --> 32:54 [SPEAKER_00]: I know that match.
32:56 --> 32:59 [SPEAKER_01]: How much do you get to interact with the Mariners players themselves?
32:59 --> 33:03 [SPEAKER_01]: I saw you were down there on the field with them when they came to Arizona earlier this week.
33:03 --> 33:08 [SPEAKER_01]: We're not going to mention the scores of any of those games because that was not a good series at all.
33:08 --> 33:15 [SPEAKER_01]: I think a lot half the people were like seasons over after that, but at least there was some positive at that that you got to talk to some of those guys.
33:16 --> 33:16 [SPEAKER_01]: How are they with you?
33:17 --> 33:19 [SPEAKER_00]: That was really cool.
33:19 --> 33:23 [SPEAKER_00]: The Camden Finning is the head of marketing I believe.
33:23 --> 33:28 [SPEAKER_00]: And so we've interacted for a few years, kind of through my management team, maybe get a throw first pitch.
33:29 --> 33:29 [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm up there.
33:29 --> 33:31 [SPEAKER_00]: It's really hard to get up with the games, obviously.
33:32 --> 33:35 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, it's been a lot of things all of a sudden.
33:35 --> 33:39 [SPEAKER_00]: It was like the day before and I'm like, okay, I'm going.
33:39 --> 33:40 [SPEAKER_00]: I can go to two of these three games.
33:40 --> 33:41 [SPEAKER_00]: I can go to the first game.
33:41 --> 33:44 [SPEAKER_00]: I can go to the, I think it was a Wednesday afternoon game.
33:45 --> 33:48 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, take my wife down and just have a hot dog and beer and watch the game.
33:48 --> 33:54 [SPEAKER_00]: So with with the boys down there, kind of reached out last minute, not thinking much and all of a sudden they're like, no problem.
33:54 --> 33:55 [SPEAKER_00]: Here's four tickets.
33:55 --> 33:55 [SPEAKER_00]: Go pick them up.
33:56 --> 33:58 [SPEAKER_00]: Come down here and then you'll get to meet some of the guys.
33:58 --> 33:59 [SPEAKER_00]: So that was really cool for me.
33:59 --> 34:00 [SPEAKER_00]: Cal Rally was great.
34:01 --> 34:05 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, he's not sure he knew who I was to be fair, which is fine.
34:05 --> 34:09 [SPEAKER_00]: But he took a ton of time with us, um, talked about the Cherpy to bat.
34:09 --> 34:11 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, stuff we didn't, you know, some ins and outs.
34:11 --> 34:14 [SPEAKER_00]: And, um, I went with a couple of other professional golfers.
34:14 --> 34:17 [SPEAKER_00]: So we were asking questions more on a professional level.
34:17 --> 34:20 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, you know, how do you get prepared for things and what do you look for?
34:20 --> 34:24 [SPEAKER_00]: And thank you appreciate some of those questions instead of just asked for an autograph.
34:25 --> 34:28 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, the pictures now, the pictures love playing golf.
34:29 --> 34:29 [SPEAKER_00]: Um,
34:30 --> 34:31 [SPEAKER_00]: who was incredible.
34:32 --> 34:35 [SPEAKER_00]: He is a golf junkie that he's not as good.
34:35 --> 34:39 [SPEAKER_00]: So Kirby I guess is a best pitcher.
34:41 --> 34:48 [SPEAKER_00]: He didn't get to see him, but a lot of him came over just mentioned, hey, you know, for golfers too, and then
34:49 --> 34:56 [SPEAKER_00]: We made big plans for January to when they're down here before string training because a lot of them run a house for multiple months and they place on a golf.
34:56 --> 35:01 [SPEAKER_00]: And so we're planning on getting out, have interacted a bit more with them recently, which has been really fun.
35:02 --> 35:08 [SPEAKER_00]: And it's cool to know that they're falling along with golf world as well as as much as I'm falling along in the baseball world.
35:09 --> 35:11 [SPEAKER_01]: Are you guys planning like a competition?
35:11 --> 35:14 [SPEAKER_01]: Are you going to re-agree in like, hey, you guys get a foreshot lead?
35:15 --> 35:16 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we haven't.
35:16 --> 35:17 [SPEAKER_00]: No, we have not.
35:17 --> 35:20 [SPEAKER_00]: We never got there as as much as, hey, I have a place to play.
35:21 --> 35:24 [SPEAKER_00]: I kind of asked whether a lot of their spots are.
35:24 --> 35:28 [SPEAKER_00]: So pure is about thirty five forty five minutes west of where Scott says where I'm at.
35:29 --> 35:31 [SPEAKER_00]: So it's a long drive to my home club to make a form.
35:31 --> 35:36 [SPEAKER_00]: So we're trying to figure out some like where do they play where, you know, what's easy for us to kind of get to.
35:37 --> 35:38 [SPEAKER_00]: So it was a little more of that.
35:38 --> 35:43 [SPEAKER_00]: There will be plenty of barking come this winter about who gets strokes, who we're playing with.
35:44 --> 35:51 [SPEAKER_00]: I've been fortunate enough to meet from my gym, Mark Molder, Cody Ross, Kyle Loach.
35:51 --> 35:54 [SPEAKER_00]: I've got to play with a lot of those guys and I get a call for friends.
35:54 --> 35:56 [SPEAKER_00]: So to meet those guys and you know, they're
35:57 --> 36:01 [SPEAKER_00]: Great baseball players back in the day as I say, I call them old all the time.
36:01 --> 36:08 [SPEAKER_00]: So there's a bunch of guys that you can set up games with and have a good time with and we plan on doing that this winter for sure.
36:08 --> 36:14 [SPEAKER_01]: Who's the best former ball player on the golf course that you've ever golfed with?
36:15 --> 36:16 [SPEAKER_00]: Probably molder.
36:16 --> 36:19 [SPEAKER_00]: So we met through
36:24 --> 36:29 [SPEAKER_00]: Ellis Mark Ellis so he actually lives on like Washington now
36:30 --> 36:33 [SPEAKER_00]: and it's kids graduating from a day this year which is kind of small worlds up.
36:34 --> 36:36 [SPEAKER_00]: His wife was a cheerleader at Washington.
36:36 --> 36:40 [SPEAKER_00]: So I met him through a mutual friend who lived down here for a while, and now he's back up there.
36:41 --> 36:51 [SPEAKER_00]: So through them, I got to meet those, but Mulder's probably the best, and I get to play pro-scratch with him, some member guests with Mulder, and then in the summer we go to Flagstaff, we play Cody Ross is really good as well.
36:52 --> 36:55 [SPEAKER_00]: Loast is another great by me, these guys are good players.
36:57 --> 37:03 [SPEAKER_00]: I gave Crap to Kyle, Loche about his chipping abilities, and then he promptly beat me pretty good the next day.
37:03 --> 37:04 [SPEAKER_00]: So that was entertaining.
37:04 --> 37:07 [SPEAKER_00]: But Molder's probably the best all around player.
37:07 --> 37:09 [SPEAKER_00]: He can hold himself in some solid competitions.
37:10 --> 37:12 [SPEAKER_00]: And the other guy, I think he did hit the ball so far.
37:13 --> 37:13 [SPEAKER_00]: It is unbelievable.
37:13 --> 37:20 [SPEAKER_00]: If you can obviously throw up all ninety plus, and you can hit a baseball, four hundred feet, you can probably figure out how to move a golf ball.
37:21 --> 37:29 [SPEAKER_00]: I can typically give him a few tips around the grains and some simple stuff, but they're just mostly great guys, and they just love being around the game as well.
37:29 --> 37:35 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious how it differentiates between athletes and when you're playing in a competitive versus a non-competitive environment.
37:35 --> 37:39 [SPEAKER_01]: Like when you're not on tour, do you lose rounds ever?
37:42 --> 37:43 [SPEAKER_00]: Not straight up, no.
37:45 --> 37:53 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, obviously play with other pros or something like that, but there's always strokes here, and that's why we have a handicap system.
37:54 --> 37:58 [SPEAKER_00]: I have to give so many strokes, typically, that I have to play pretty well.
38:00 --> 38:04 [SPEAKER_00]: to have a chance at it, but there's guys that they have their off days.
38:04 --> 38:11 [SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of guys in Northwest, when you come down and play desert golf, they're going to be in the desert instead of hitting in the trees or in the desert.
38:11 --> 38:12 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's a big difference.
38:13 --> 38:16 [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, typically we have pretty good matches or pretty fair.
38:17 --> 38:20 [SPEAKER_00]: But if we play enough times, it kind of kind of even out through the years.
38:20 --> 38:21 [SPEAKER_00]: We don't play for a whole lot of money.
38:21 --> 38:26 [SPEAKER_00]: Mostly it's for writing rights and for a beer off the round, which is always great.
38:27 --> 38:31 [SPEAKER_02]: If you want a little insight on potential handicaps to give for the Mariners.
38:31 --> 38:35 [SPEAKER_02]: So from what we understand, you're spot on where Kirby's the best golfer on the team.
38:35 --> 38:37 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm pretty sure he shoots in the seventies.
38:37 --> 38:40 [SPEAKER_00]: So he said he's like a one or two handicap.
38:40 --> 38:44 [SPEAKER_00]: Like he's saying like he was by far the best and can really play.
38:45 --> 38:48 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I don't think you'll need to give him a lot of strokes.
38:48 --> 38:52 [SPEAKER_02]: I think woo Emerson Hancock and Matt Brash are all pretty good.
38:52 --> 38:54 [SPEAKER_02]: Step by low curvy, but pretty good.
38:55 --> 38:56 [SPEAKER_02]: And then everybody else is kind of after that.
38:56 --> 39:04 [SPEAKER_02]: So I don't know how many of those guys you're planning to link up with or how many of those guys in that group you'll play with, but for at least a few of the guys if you want a little insight.
39:05 --> 39:06 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Kirby probably doesn't get a lot of strokes.
39:07 --> 39:08 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I play.
39:08 --> 39:16 [SPEAKER_00]: I got to play with, uh, during COVID, um, Ian Happ and, um, uh, Shorber were down here and there.
39:16 --> 39:19 [SPEAKER_00]: Cubs of facilities across the street, basically from a basic country, where I play.
39:20 --> 39:23 [SPEAKER_00]: And that is, so I got to know Ian Happ really well through my manager.
39:24 --> 39:26 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, so we've played a decent amount of golf and always keep in touch.
39:26 --> 39:28 [SPEAKER_00]: And, um,
39:29 --> 39:31 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a two-mion horror little bit during COVID when I shot fifty-eight.
39:32 --> 39:36 [SPEAKER_00]: I actually played with HAP and Shorber and HAP shot sixty-nine that day.
39:37 --> 39:39 [SPEAKER_00]: I think Shorber shot like seventy-six or seventy-seven.
39:39 --> 39:43 [SPEAKER_00]: So those are pretty good players as well, but it's amazing how good they get when they retire.
39:44 --> 39:59 [SPEAKER_00]: Nothing to do besides get better at golf and so I'll be curious to see there's some good players that are currently playing and my retiree they're going to get really good because that's like a way to feel their competitive edge and you can't defeat golf in a way, right?
40:00 --> 40:01 [SPEAKER_00]: So you just have to keep getting better at it.
40:02 --> 40:03 [SPEAKER_00]: How far were Shorber's drives?
40:04 --> 40:05 [SPEAKER_00]: You wouldn't believe it.
40:06 --> 40:10 [SPEAKER_00]: So even half can absolutely, I mean, half hit one off the first hole.
40:10 --> 40:15 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, three, forty down the middle and hit a night iron in the bar clock.
40:15 --> 40:20 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I mean, on my average drive is probably is three hundred ish two, ninety, three hundred.
40:21 --> 40:22 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm very average to her player.
40:23 --> 40:25 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but, uh, Schworvo, he was hitting it.
40:25 --> 40:30 [SPEAKER_00]: So far, um, didn't hit a very straight obviously, but um, he bombs it.
40:30 --> 40:33 [SPEAKER_00]: The other story that we have is Mike Trout came and played at my club.
40:33 --> 40:34 [SPEAKER_00]: I did not play with him.
40:35 --> 40:36 [SPEAKER_00]: Our ten pulls downhill.
40:36 --> 40:41 [SPEAKER_00]: It's like three, ninety front edge and a stand in there on the deck.
40:41 --> 40:43 [SPEAKER_00]: Watch them and he flew it onto front edge.
40:44 --> 40:48 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he's in good golf, but you imagine how far I can hit golf ball.
40:48 --> 41:01 [SPEAKER_01]: The only video out there I've ever seen of of trout's golf swing is the top golf swing you had and I got to say it was one of the prettiest swings I've ever seen because his baseball swing and his golf swing aren't honestly that much different.
41:02 --> 41:02 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
41:05 --> 41:07 [SPEAKER_00]: It's, it's, it is very pretty.
41:07 --> 41:09 [SPEAKER_00]: I think there's, uh, just not doing it or not, right?
41:10 --> 41:12 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I know he's building the golf course in Philly.
41:13 --> 41:15 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, kind of backwards from anything Tiger Woods is doing that one.
41:15 --> 41:17 [SPEAKER_00]: So I imagine he'll, he'll figure it out.
41:17 --> 41:22 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, as he slows down in the game, baseball, but his, his ceiling is really, really high.
41:22 --> 41:22 [SPEAKER_00]: I put it that way.
41:22 --> 41:26 [SPEAKER_00]: And when you hit a ball that far, you can figure out how to get the ball and the whole after that.
41:26 --> 41:28 [SPEAKER_02]: Have you seen that video him at top golf?
41:28 --> 41:29 [SPEAKER_00]: Cause it looks like you're hitting a home run.
41:30 --> 41:31 [SPEAKER_00]: It's incredible.
41:31 --> 41:31 [SPEAKER_00]: It's, um,
41:33 --> 41:49 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if you give, you give these guys a lot of thirty-three or four inch bath that's heavy and they can generate that much speed of it and then you give them a forty-five inch driver that has a bunch of like if you're during that speed of the base of that you imagine what you can generate with a golf club and it is it's amazing because it's
41:50 --> 41:58 [SPEAKER_00]: It's the same thing of using ground forces right and using the hips and and understanding how that works and they're the best in the world at hockey players.
41:58 --> 42:02 [SPEAKER_00]: It's also really good at right if you can hit a snapshot, you know, ninety plus miles an hour on skating.
42:02 --> 42:03 [SPEAKER_00]: Probably for you.
42:03 --> 42:04 [SPEAKER_00]: I had a golf ball pretty hard.
42:04 --> 42:06 [SPEAKER_00]: So it's cool to watch it translate.
42:08 --> 42:11 [SPEAKER_00]: And it's very impressive to me as a guy who's played a long time.
42:11 --> 42:14 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I'm certainly not elite athlete.
42:14 --> 42:14 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a
42:15 --> 42:37 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of a dad bod you know standard standard guy but it's and when I get there I don't get into the baseball very often right but every couple years I'll tell you a couple hacks I'm hitting like I'm thinking they're just dingers and they're like lazy pop flies left field maybe go on like two hundred fifty feet I did bounce one off the wall one time and I thought that was pretty good for these guys just the
42:38 --> 42:39 [SPEAKER_00]: casually get them over the wall.
42:39 --> 42:41 [SPEAKER_00]: It's just a different way of generating speed.
42:41 --> 42:45 [SPEAKER_01]: Do you think it's easier to go from baseball to golf than golf to baseball?
42:47 --> 42:48 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for sure.
42:48 --> 42:53 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I was a, I mean, I peaked at baseball when I was like, eleven, right?
42:53 --> 42:55 [SPEAKER_00]: So I made an ulcer team and I was, I picked up like shorts.
42:55 --> 42:58 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm, I was a solvent in Clarkston, Washington.
42:58 --> 43:00 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't even like, this is, you know, town of ten thousand people.
43:00 --> 43:02 [SPEAKER_00]: Like I could, I could play, but
43:05 --> 43:12 [SPEAKER_00]: To go even hit something like a live arm is coming at you at eighty miles an hour feels like it's coming at a million miles an hour.
43:13 --> 43:28 [SPEAKER_00]: And now if someone wants to throw a curve ball at you, like I'm ducking and running out of the box long before this thing ever crosses the plate or they decide to throw a niney mile an hour and then they want to change when up on you when you think that you know you kind of have it like you just there's no chance.
43:28 --> 43:35 [SPEAKER_00]: There's no you have to you can any any great athlete go to the range of in some balls and get him in the air and get him going forward.
43:36 --> 43:40 [SPEAKER_00]: No, no one else is going to translate and somehow hit a baseball.
43:40 --> 43:43 [SPEAKER_00]: All these guys who think they can come in and I'll give you a fifty advance.
43:43 --> 43:44 [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to hit a base it.
43:44 --> 43:45 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right.
43:45 --> 43:46 [SPEAKER_00]: Like there's no chance.
43:47 --> 43:51 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I've been firmly on the camp of if you've got a hundred of bats as an average person.
43:51 --> 43:52 [SPEAKER_02]: You're not getting one hit.
43:52 --> 43:53 [SPEAKER_02]: You're not getting one.
43:53 --> 43:54 [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, even.
43:54 --> 44:00 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you might make contact a couple times, but that's not going anywhere past infield that is not a lazy ground ball.
44:00 --> 44:01 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
44:01 --> 44:04 [SPEAKER_02]: So some people when you just mentioned, you don't think you're an elite athlete.
44:04 --> 44:09 [SPEAKER_02]: Some people might say, wait, you're on the PGA tour and don't consider yourself an elite athlete.
44:09 --> 44:13 [SPEAKER_02]: I sit here and say, when you ripped off your shirt at the waste management, open, you didn't feel like an elite athlete.
44:14 --> 44:25 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, maybe for about ten seconds of adrenaline was really high, but when I went through the tunnel after that, and I realized what I had done, and I'm putting back on my golf shirt on my dad's body.
44:25 --> 44:28 [SPEAKER_00]: I realized very quickly it was not an athlete.
44:28 --> 44:34 [SPEAKER_00]: I think there's different types of athletes, obviously, like running, jumping, speed, all those things.
44:35 --> 44:37 [SPEAKER_00]: Golfers are athletes in the fact that we
44:39 --> 44:41 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, we train, we travel.
44:42 --> 44:46 [SPEAKER_00]: What we do is actually harder than people think of just weak to weak on the road for four to the time.
44:46 --> 44:50 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's spending that many hours out there.
44:50 --> 44:55 [SPEAKER_00]: Like that, but, you know, talking about the athletes of moving, there's a few out there now.
44:55 --> 45:03 [SPEAKER_00]: They've been the game's trending that way, but we're not on the page of we're not going to, like, set any records here in the combine or do any fun things like that.
45:04 --> 45:05 [SPEAKER_00]: That turned out really good.
45:05 --> 45:06 [SPEAKER_00]: I'll give us that.
45:06 --> 45:08 [SPEAKER_00]: Our hand eyes good in our mental game is really good.
45:09 --> 45:13 [SPEAKER_01]: I was going to say, Jill, that tournament has to be the thing most up your alley, right?
45:13 --> 45:18 [SPEAKER_01]: Of everything you play in is that like the most the one you most resonate with.
45:19 --> 45:19 [SPEAKER_01]: Phoenix open.
45:21 --> 45:34 [SPEAKER_00]: I think in the mere fact that there's interacting with fans and looking around and, you know, given some on a high five or smiling or a fist bump or something like that, I think that's certainly.
45:35 --> 45:38 [SPEAKER_00]: There's not many holes you can go out there where there's not people.
45:38 --> 45:46 [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of times on tour, all the fans are following the top three or four groups, and then they're in the final three holes, so you can kind of go hide on half of the holes, basically.
45:47 --> 45:48 [SPEAKER_00]: There's no hiding at Phoenix Open.
45:49 --> 45:51 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, which is kind of fun because you're always on.
45:52 --> 45:56 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, and that gives you like a, you know, gives you adrenaline and gives you the boost and, and it's a lot of fun.
45:56 --> 46:03 [SPEAKER_00]: And I think lived here for as long as I have, um, have a lot of, you know, friends and family out here, which is always fun to play in front of.
46:03 --> 46:07 [SPEAKER_00]: But, um, it's really fun to play well in front of fans.
46:07 --> 46:11 [SPEAKER_00]: It is not that fun to play poorly in front of that many people at Phoenix.
46:11 --> 46:14 [SPEAKER_00]: So, um, but that's part of being the athlete, right?
46:14 --> 46:17 [SPEAKER_00]: It's like keeping your head up and keep trying.
46:17 --> 46:25 [SPEAKER_02]: Are you too locked in during that tournament to notice all the insane things that are going on at whole sixteen or are you noticing as you're walking up to the tea?
46:25 --> 46:37 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if you I think some of the most fun is looking around and you know all golfers which I've been present and a lot of baseball players are too right you gotta be present you gotta be in the moment
46:38 --> 46:41 [SPEAKER_00]: One of the most present things you can do right is look around.
46:42 --> 46:45 [SPEAKER_00]: See where you're at, look at some people, hear the noise, hear the chirps.
46:46 --> 46:47 [SPEAKER_00]: That means you're there in the moment, right?
46:47 --> 46:51 [SPEAKER_00]: Like if you just keep your head down, you hear everything.
46:51 --> 46:58 [SPEAKER_00]: People don't understand that golfers here, everything that is said, we just don't react to any of it because if you feed the monkey, right?
46:58 --> 47:00 [SPEAKER_00]: You just don't feed the monkeys because they're going to come out anymore.
47:01 --> 47:02 [SPEAKER_00]: But it's really
47:04 --> 47:09 [SPEAKER_00]: If you hit a good shot on seventeen or on sixteen, it's great to look around and enjoy it and see how many people are going nuts.
47:10 --> 47:16 [SPEAKER_00]: Or if you make a birdie, like people react on sixteen when they make a birdie, like they want to gulter on us.
47:16 --> 47:23 [SPEAKER_00]: Fist bumping, yelling with a crowd, throwing their ball up there, whatever it is, having so much fun, and that's one of the fun things about that event for sure.
47:24 --> 47:38 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, one of my favorite things honestly is hitting if you hit the green and you don't make a birdie but you hit it kind of tap in, you'll mark it and you stand there for another minute or two while you're playing competitors put out and you just look in the crap.
47:38 --> 47:40 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because there is so much fun stuff going up there.
47:40 --> 47:41 [SPEAKER_00]: It's very entertaining.
47:42 --> 47:50 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I was in the crowd for four or five years before I made it on tour and that was fun for me just to go like you said, drink beer.
47:51 --> 47:53 [SPEAKER_00]: Just be a part of it, right?
47:53 --> 47:55 [SPEAKER_00]: It's one of the coolest things in sports, I think.
47:55 --> 47:56 [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's on here.
47:56 --> 47:57 [SPEAKER_00]: A younger person, you like having fun.
47:57 --> 48:02 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a bucket list item to go hang out for a day and just it's not about the golf.
48:02 --> 48:07 [SPEAKER_00]: It's just taking in the scene that is in a sports arena because there's nothing like it.
48:07 --> 48:13 [SPEAKER_02]: That's essentially the one hole in golf for the one tournament in golf where you can act like happy yomor right?
48:13 --> 48:15 [SPEAKER_02]: That's kind of that's what makes it cool.
48:15 --> 48:18 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they've they've changed a bit over there.
48:18 --> 48:20 [SPEAKER_00]: She's have caddy races, which would be fun.
48:20 --> 48:22 [SPEAKER_00]: Caddy's to take off to the green.
48:23 --> 48:45 [SPEAKER_00]: We'd all started, you know, uh, thirty-ish years ago ASU students came up and before it was all enclosed and they actually had some decent, um, they had all of your info, who you're, where you're from, when you were to college, like, those fun things and they would drip at you, but it was always friendly and it was great and it was like awesome and now there's some really cool stuff.
48:47 --> 48:51 [SPEAKER_00]: And they'll chant some cool things that are, you know, entertaining and original, right?
48:51 --> 48:53 [SPEAKER_00]: It's very original play.
48:53 --> 48:54 [SPEAKER_00]: So they do a good job with that.
48:54 --> 49:00 [SPEAKER_00]: And in the last few years, it's kind of turned into just more of just a shit show to us.
49:01 --> 49:08 [SPEAKER_00]: As you guys have been, so you guys just know, it's just kind of crazy, but it's just fun to be in the arena because that's a one time to really feel like a
49:08 --> 49:11 [SPEAKER_00]: Bigger athlete where the arena is around you and all eyes around you.
49:11 --> 49:13 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's that's pretty fun to do.
49:13 --> 49:24 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a little surprised I took this long for it to become sort of like that where things start going over the top and you have the you have the dude running out into the middle of the lake and the golf course and climbing on there.
49:24 --> 49:25 [SPEAKER_01]: I think he was naked.
49:26 --> 49:30 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, but I might have like a jeez string on or something like that.
49:30 --> 49:36 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're might have been I'm sure there's been naked guy as well, but yeah, but I'm just think it's amazing.
49:36 --> 49:42 [SPEAKER_00]: It's an entertaining they they do a good job this last year slowing it down a little bit because it was getting on the edge of just
49:43 --> 49:47 [SPEAKER_00]: too much and it wasn't so much on us is just like too much going on in the property.
49:47 --> 49:52 [SPEAKER_00]: It was just like you never knew when a guy was going to jump in the lake or it wasn't ever like really.
49:53 --> 49:59 [SPEAKER_00]: Guess there's been a few threats of players are guys coming out, but nothing like really that crazy, but it's it's a very entertaining week.
49:59 --> 50:06 [SPEAKER_02]: I'll tell you that much which by the way, really quick, I mentioned that's the one hole or the one tournament in golf or players can act like happy young are.
50:07 --> 50:09 [SPEAKER_02]: Why didn't you get the call from Adam Sandler to be in the sequel?
50:12 --> 50:13 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, the true story
50:14 --> 50:22 [SPEAKER_00]: is that Chad Mum, who did the Netflix series full swing that I was a part of for a few years.
50:23 --> 50:25 [SPEAKER_00]: He's the one who casted most of players.
50:26 --> 50:30 [SPEAKER_00]: And if you look at that player's list, they're all major champions, you're top ten or fifty in the world.
50:30 --> 50:31 [SPEAKER_00]: That's not quite for the bill for that.
50:33 --> 50:37 [SPEAKER_00]: Dad and I chatted for a quick brief moment about it, but it was one of those things.
50:37 --> 50:39 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I had my time on Netflix.
50:39 --> 50:42 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not a major champion or top fifteen in the world.
50:43 --> 50:46 [SPEAKER_00]: And as soon as I saw the list of who we had, I'm like, yeah, that's not it.
50:47 --> 50:48 [SPEAKER_00]: There's, which is great.
50:48 --> 50:55 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I could win a few more times and call fuck for that, but at the same time, I think they didn't really good job with it.
50:55 --> 50:58 [SPEAKER_01]: Do you have your celebration plan when you hold sixteen?
50:58 --> 51:01 [SPEAKER_00]: No, no.
51:05 --> 51:07 [SPEAKER_00]: It would be great if that was an option.
51:07 --> 51:10 [SPEAKER_00]: I think at that point you're nervous enough that you just want to hit the green and not get bored.
51:12 --> 51:13 [SPEAKER_00]: I'd be curious on the stats.
51:13 --> 51:17 [SPEAKER_00]: I think I've played it twenty five-ish times now.
51:18 --> 51:19 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't.
51:20 --> 51:23 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I've only made one bogey, but I think I've only made one birdie.
51:23 --> 51:25 [SPEAKER_00]: So I've pretty much hit the middle of the green.
51:26 --> 51:43 [SPEAKER_00]: two put and get out of there so I don't get overly food or there's nothing real controversial but if I happen to make a one or something really neat then I'm not going to plan it but there's enough adrenaline going on you never know I mean I already took my shirt off on the whole I'm not sure what else I can do have someone throw a beer on you
51:44 --> 51:45 [SPEAKER_00]: Be a celebration.
51:45 --> 51:46 [SPEAKER_00]: We have plenty of those.
51:46 --> 51:47 [SPEAKER_00]: That would be fun.
51:47 --> 51:50 [SPEAKER_00]: If there's one properly positioned, that would be great.
51:50 --> 51:54 [SPEAKER_00]: Instead of like you double bogey in a worst case scenario.
51:54 --> 51:58 [SPEAKER_01]: And someone throws like one of those breakfast burritos they hand out at you.
51:58 --> 51:59 [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that would be.
52:00 --> 52:03 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, by that time it'd probably be pretty cold and pretty nasty.
52:03 --> 52:04 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm out on that.
52:05 --> 52:12 [SPEAKER_02]: By the way, how did you end up growing up getting into golf over, say baseball, football, etc, especially in the state of Washington?
52:13 --> 52:21 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so Clarkson's small town on the east side of the city loose and I was across the river from us, but I was a decent athlete grown up.
52:21 --> 52:30 [SPEAKER_00]: I was good at everything, but like again, small town, not like big time Seattle stuff, but I saw I played all sports growing up, but at some point I was I grew really fast, so I was
52:31 --> 52:36 [SPEAKER_00]: I think it was five, nine and seven's great and good basketball player played in quarterback.
52:36 --> 52:38 [SPEAKER_00]: I could pitch and play short and stuff and stuff.
52:38 --> 52:44 [SPEAKER_00]: But all of a sudden I got to freshman year high school and I was just not the tallest or the fastest or the strongest anymore very quickly.
52:45 --> 52:49 [SPEAKER_00]: And the writing on the wall was a golf for me pretty quickly.
52:49 --> 52:55 [SPEAKER_00]: So my parents played my dad played his whole life and then got my mom into the game and that's just what we did as a family.
52:55 --> 52:56 [SPEAKER_00]: We just played golf.
52:56 --> 52:57 [SPEAKER_00]: We went down.
52:57 --> 52:58 [SPEAKER_00]: We live right by the golf course in Clarkston.
53:00 --> 53:08 [SPEAKER_00]: My grandparents gave me their old golf cart, and so I had, I was very fortunate as well that my head pro at the time Doug Ferris who's in Spokane now in the in Canyon.
53:09 --> 53:13 [SPEAKER_00]: He gave me a key to the gate, so I could unlock it if I was first on there.
53:13 --> 53:14 [SPEAKER_00]: I made sure I locked it up when I left.
53:16 --> 53:29 [SPEAKER_00]: And I just lived at the golf course in the evenings and that's what my dad still loves to play my dad practice more than I do and still since me videos of his swing of how to help him and That's just what we did my mom turned out to be a pretty good player.
53:29 --> 53:40 [SPEAKER_00]: She could You know, she played bogey golf and my dad got to where he's a four or five handicap at his best and we just left playing that was a great family time and when you're
53:41 --> 53:47 [SPEAKER_00]: six foot, hundred and fifty pounds in the middle of high school, you're not getting credit for anything else, that's for sure, no matter how good you think you are.
53:49 --> 53:52 [SPEAKER_00]: And we had some my high school basketball team, it was Josh Hype felt.
53:52 --> 53:58 [SPEAKER_00]: So he went to Gonzaga, obviously six, eleven stud and we have Roy Williams in the gym, his senior year and I'm taking
53:59 --> 54:02 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it was at that, it was unbelievable to be around that, right?
54:02 --> 54:04 [SPEAKER_00]: And you saw what's high level.
54:05 --> 54:06 [SPEAKER_00]: Do you want talent was?
54:07 --> 54:12 [SPEAKER_00]: And you're like, oh, this is, we had some other great players on our team, but they went to JuCo, or they went to NEIA stuff.
54:12 --> 54:14 [SPEAKER_00]: And you're like, oh, good at basketball.
54:14 --> 54:23 [SPEAKER_00]: Do you have to be where I was good enough of golf to be recruited, and I was thinking like, wow, this is a way, well, not that I had an option of anything else, but it was just golfing.
54:24 --> 54:25 [SPEAKER_00]: That was a way.
54:25 --> 54:27 [SPEAKER_00]: My dad told me, I don't know, it was okay.
54:27 --> 54:29 [SPEAKER_00]: You're gonna get calls paid for by golf.
54:29 --> 54:32 [SPEAKER_00]: And this is your ticket kind of out to bigger and better things.
54:32 --> 54:35 [SPEAKER_00]: And it turns out he was right.
54:35 --> 54:40 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's been a great, great path for me and I've been very, very blessedly able to go.
54:41 --> 54:44 [SPEAKER_01]: And then last thing for me, Jill, so you have all these sports going on at high school.
54:44 --> 54:49 [SPEAKER_01]: When did the Mariners and the others, all of your other Seattle sports fandom sort of come into the picture?
54:50 --> 54:51 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so easy for me.
54:51 --> 54:52 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the mid-ninies, right?
54:54 --> 55:19 [SPEAKER_00]: uh... my grandpa uh... who we name my first kid rigs after grandpa ricks uh... he just passed away this summer but uh... he had the marriage game all the time and he was a baseball guy is a baseball nut uh... we lose Clark state college in most in Idaho uh... they won twenty seven national titles or something through the years and he was a big booster of them and we went every game and so the huge fan of that but all of a sudden ninety five came around and we were we're we're we're just
55:21 --> 55:24 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's one grippy hits or sorry, Edgar hits a double down the line.
55:25 --> 55:28 [SPEAKER_00]: Junior scores, but I remember like the whole lead up to that.
55:29 --> 55:40 [SPEAKER_00]: Randy Johnson, you know, Dan Wilson, Tina Martinez, you have Joey Korra, you have Mike Belowers, we have Buena and Wright, you got Vince Coleman is even hanging around like these guys are like my childhood.
55:41 --> 55:53 [SPEAKER_00]: That ninety five and when we beat the Yankees, you know, and junior rounds third like that whole call like it's just in some better than me and that's when it took over for me.
55:53 --> 55:56 [SPEAKER_00]: It was a very facial fan and that was eight or nine years old, but
55:58 --> 56:15 [SPEAKER_00]: you can't we had the TV on every night you know local there so we got to watch them all and that was massive for me and then two thousand one kind of rekindled it right so you have each hero comes over and we went hundred sixteen games or whatever it was and that was really cool and then on the basketball side you're a very paid-in-chon camp
56:15 --> 56:33 [SPEAKER_00]: like we're in the finals against Jordan in ninety six I believe and to have that deadlift shrimp and hersey Hawkins at Sam Perkins and ain't McMillan like that is my I think all of the people my age that's all we think about is how the glory years of like that stuff
56:34 --> 56:42 [SPEAKER_00]: On the, my first, my first football jersey that John Kittner, you know, Cortez Kennedy, I remember when Ricky Waters came over, and that was a big deal.
56:43 --> 56:47 [SPEAKER_00]: Joey Galloett, you know, he was, he returned to punt when I was watching him like, oh my god, this guy's a freak.
56:48 --> 56:54 [SPEAKER_00]: So those are the years that were very formative in my life, and I haven't stopped watching and paying attention every game since then.
56:55 --> 56:58 [SPEAKER_02]: That's just what we had any memory of the ninety five or one seasons with two of us.
56:58 --> 57:03 [SPEAKER_02]: We didn't get to experience that our our memories as fans basically started when all the losing started.
57:03 --> 57:05 [SPEAKER_02]: So we're right in that generation.
57:05 --> 57:11 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I can remember like known trout and coming in like, you know, that the sheriff coming in and I remember
57:12 --> 57:40 [SPEAKER_00]: uh... was at least so whole hit like this double the rattle around in like the bullpen right all of a sudden we're running around the bases and i think randy came into the way to one one game playoff against and a high maybe and randy came in saved it in the fireworks go off and he points to the sky yeah those are the memories i have sure i mean in that save baseball and see out of those guys don't do that we're probably not sitting here with you right now because we grow up without a baseball team right
57:41 --> 57:46 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, Alex Rodriguez obviously was young stuff, but then it was, you know, safe goes being built.
57:46 --> 57:47 [SPEAKER_00]: So like after that, right?
57:47 --> 57:49 [SPEAKER_00]: And so it's too zeal and it's stuff.
57:49 --> 57:53 [SPEAKER_00]: And then we went into this twenty-ish year slump of just crap.
57:53 --> 57:57 [SPEAKER_00]: So, um, glad we're, feel like we're on the way out of this old thing.
57:57 --> 58:00 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I don't know.
58:00 --> 58:03 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I, I, I want to, I want us to be good every year.
58:03 --> 58:08 [SPEAKER_00]: That's hard to ask, but I think we're, if we can just, I think that if we sign nailer,
58:09 --> 58:10 [SPEAKER_00]: for long-term.
58:11 --> 58:16 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what's going on with Junior, and I was a little bit older, but at least it's going to show progress that we're into this.
58:16 --> 58:18 [SPEAKER_00]: We've got to sign a few pictures, keep them around.
58:19 --> 58:20 [SPEAKER_00]: I just don't like this.
58:20 --> 58:21 [SPEAKER_00]: What do Pito say?
58:21 --> 58:24 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, fifty-three or fifty-two or fifty-four percent of the games.
58:24 --> 58:25 [SPEAKER_00]: Fifty-four.
58:25 --> 58:26 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't like, come on, man.
58:26 --> 58:27 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, you don't say that out loud.
58:27 --> 58:29 [SPEAKER_00]: If that's what you're trying to do, that's great, but don't say that loud.
58:31 --> 58:33 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm, it's just fun.
58:33 --> 58:35 [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm at the age now, my kids do in a half.
58:36 --> 58:41 [SPEAKER_00]: A couple more years, he's going to be on the couch watching all these games with me, and he's going to be his heartbroken, and he's going to love it.
58:41 --> 58:45 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's just something that I want to push, push out.
58:45 --> 58:47 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to push my kid in salesports.
58:47 --> 58:49 [SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to have a choice.
58:49 --> 58:51 [SPEAKER_00]: And he's got all the gear already.
58:53 --> 58:57 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's just something that I'm dialed into watching and something I want to be part of for a long time.
58:58 --> 58:59 [SPEAKER_00]: I've been through all this trauma.
58:59 --> 59:01 [SPEAKER_00]: You have to be in this trauma with me, too.
59:01 --> 59:02 [SPEAKER_00]: No, exactly right.
59:04 --> 59:05 [SPEAKER_02]: Last one I got for you.
59:06 --> 59:06 [SPEAKER_02]: It's too bad.
59:06 --> 59:16 [SPEAKER_02]: We didn't even get to get too much into the all the full swing stuff, which is a big reason that a lot of people outside of the house now know who you are now and the documentary had wild success.
59:16 --> 59:24 [SPEAKER_02]: But speaking of Gino, you're talking about A-U-Hanio Suarez, obviously it's in well documented that you have this great relationship with your own friend Gino, who was your caddy for a long time.
59:24 --> 59:27 [SPEAKER_02]: So I was going to do this little fun exercise with you before we end it.
59:28 --> 59:38 [SPEAKER_02]: If you could pick how your relationship is between the two of you and try to compare it to one of the dynamic duo relationships on the Mariners, who do you think that would be?
59:38 --> 59:39 [SPEAKER_02]: Because there's some unique options.
59:39 --> 59:42 [SPEAKER_02]: There's some friendships on this team that are very unique.
59:42 --> 59:44 [SPEAKER_02]: The little niche, but I'll try to put you on the spot.
59:45 --> 59:46 [SPEAKER_00]: That is pretty niche.
59:47 --> 59:53 [SPEAKER_00]: Man, I don't know if I know enough of the uniqueness of the team.
59:53 --> 59:54 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say,
59:57 --> 01:00:15 [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like Cal Raleigh and any of the pictures is going, they all have, well, it's also interesting to me, we fit so many home runs since it's been fun to watch recently, but they don't have their own handshakes, they're all doing their own thing, Crawford's there with the Trident at the front of the dugout after everyone, like that's kind of fun.
01:00:15 --> 01:00:22 [SPEAKER_00]: I would be really curious to know, Cal and the pitching staff and what that looks like.
01:00:22 --> 01:00:23 [SPEAKER_00]: Recently, I saw like this,
01:00:24 --> 01:00:50 [SPEAKER_00]: two-minute blip of uh... was a hobby low peasant caught for in the braves he talked about great called alas on pitches away he caught the ball in the way he did things and i know now days when you know there's a pitch thing they had a button and it comes through whatever that's but i'd be curious of what cows sit down how he handles each picture how the handle is better what they go through anything analytics or through the roof now from whatever the nineties but uh... just the way that he handled each picture
01:00:51 --> 01:00:54 [SPEAKER_00]: If he has a quick mound, what is he saying to him?
01:00:54 --> 01:01:00 [SPEAKER_00]: That would be a very interesting thing to hear because they're all different.
01:01:00 --> 01:01:07 [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone's different than how do you handle them all and what happens when they're going sideways and they don't have commands.
01:01:08 --> 01:01:09 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, maybe I should have teed it up for you a little better.
01:01:09 --> 01:01:28 [SPEAKER_02]: So for example, the one that's documented the best, Cal and Logan Gilbert, they work extremely well together, but they will bicker back and forth and give each other shit and like get each other's grill all the time, Logan will disagree with all these pitches, a cow's calling for me and they'll cow knows or like cow knows what Logan works with that.
01:01:28 --> 01:01:30 [SPEAKER_02]: So like they'll fight, but they have this great relationship.
01:01:30 --> 01:01:33 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if you and Gino would describe yourself as anything like that.
01:01:33 --> 01:01:34 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for sure.
01:01:34 --> 01:01:39 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, so you know, we've been together for whatever it's been twelve or thirteen years now.
01:01:39 --> 01:01:40 [SPEAKER_00]: Best friends on before that.
01:01:40 --> 01:01:48 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he was, he married my wife and I like we're, when we stay with him when I'm up there, we spent five days together, a couple weeks ago.
01:01:49 --> 01:01:51 [SPEAKER_00]: We fight in bigger life brothers.
01:01:51 --> 01:01:54 [SPEAKER_00]: We are we more we're married than brothers at this point.
01:01:54 --> 01:02:01 [SPEAKER_00]: So it's one of those things of like yeah, I disagree but he gets yell at me I yell at him and then you high five each other five and it's nothing personal, right?
01:02:02 --> 01:02:03 [SPEAKER_00]: It's just it's unrelated.
01:02:03 --> 01:02:04 [SPEAKER_00]: It's high intensity.
01:02:05 --> 01:02:11 [SPEAKER_00]: It's it's one of those deals, but I think that you have to have you have to be able to
01:02:12 --> 01:02:28 [SPEAKER_00]: bigger and give shit to each other and and bark and be very sometimes very frank with each other and then knowing it's not personal right so after the game you can hug and high five and go have dinner but also in the meantime it's great to be able to go to the dugout and be like why did you call that it was terrible pitch or we know
01:02:29 --> 01:02:29 [SPEAKER_00]: whatever that is.
01:02:29 --> 01:02:32 [SPEAKER_00]: So I think that whole dynamic is very interesting.
01:02:32 --> 01:02:32 [SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
01:02:33 --> 01:02:34 [SPEAKER_01]: Joel, this has been awesome.
01:02:34 --> 01:02:36 [SPEAKER_01]: Appreciate you giving some time for us.
01:02:36 --> 01:02:37 [SPEAKER_01]: We're big fans of yours.
01:02:37 --> 01:02:40 [SPEAKER_01]: We appreciate your support of this podcast as well.
01:02:40 --> 01:02:42 [SPEAKER_01]: And we look forward to having you on again in the future.
01:02:42 --> 01:02:44 [SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully we can connect we're all down in Arizona.
01:02:44 --> 01:02:45 [SPEAKER_01]: That'd be a lot of fun.
01:02:46 --> 01:02:46 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.
01:02:46 --> 01:02:50 [SPEAKER_00]: And let's let's connect that a playoff game before that.
01:02:50 --> 01:02:51 [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
01:02:51 --> 01:02:54 [SPEAKER_00]: We're we'll I got I got a few few days.
01:02:54 --> 01:02:59 [SPEAKER_00]: I can figure out a way to get one of these playoff games would be great to see out on the catch one.
01:02:59 --> 01:03:01 [SPEAKER_00]: It's been a few years for me since then.
01:03:01 --> 01:03:10 [SPEAKER_00]: So I appreciate what you guys do for the Mariners as you follow along and and it's awesome that you guys are doing this in my future life.
01:03:10 --> 01:03:11 [SPEAKER_00]: I would like to be doing what you guys are doing.
01:03:12 --> 01:03:13 [SPEAKER_01]: We appreciate that Joel.
01:03:13 --> 01:03:14 [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
01:03:15 --> 01:03:15 [SPEAKER_00]: You got it, guys.
01:03:15 --> 01:03:16 [SPEAKER_00]: Cheers.
01:03:18 --> 01:03:19 [SPEAKER_02]: That was a blast, man.
01:03:19 --> 01:03:21 [SPEAKER_02]: I really, really look forward to that one.
01:03:21 --> 01:03:23 [SPEAKER_02]: And I think it really lived up to the hype.
01:03:23 --> 01:03:24 [SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully you guys did too.
01:03:25 --> 01:03:26 [SPEAKER_02]: Joel is great.
01:03:26 --> 01:03:30 [SPEAKER_02]: I can't wait to hear about how this golf match goes when he eventually gets on the links with some of these Mariners guys.
01:03:31 --> 01:03:33 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm curious how close him and Kirby can get in around of eighteen.
01:03:35 --> 01:03:39 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I'm gonna say he beats Kirby, let's like, let's get rid of the handicaps.
01:03:39 --> 01:03:45 [SPEAKER_01]: I still think he'd probably be Kirby by like five strokes, but the fact Kirby would be so close would be, would be pretty cool.
01:03:46 --> 01:03:47 [SPEAKER_01]: That's a testament to George, dude.
01:03:48 --> 01:03:53 [SPEAKER_01]: This dude's a legit big league pitcher, but also has time to be a nasty golfer.
01:03:54 --> 01:03:54 [SPEAKER_01]: Crazy.
01:03:55 --> 01:03:56 [SPEAKER_02]: Let's be fun to be a big league starting pitcher.
01:03:57 --> 01:04:04 [SPEAKER_02]: Once of every five days, you go out and just absolutely dice and then the other four days, not that they're off days.
01:04:04 --> 01:04:16 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to be little by any means what starting pitchers have to do on their non-start days, but you are not playing every day like a position player and you have time to do things like, go get really good at golf.
01:04:16 --> 01:04:17 [SPEAKER_02]: Sounds pretty fun.
01:04:17 --> 01:04:20 [SPEAKER_02]: Imagine being the Clayton Kershaws and Maxures was at the world.
01:04:20 --> 01:04:23 [SPEAKER_02]: Once every five days, you go out and dominate and otherwise,
01:04:24 --> 01:04:24 [SPEAKER_02]: You know?
01:04:25 --> 01:04:29 [SPEAKER_02]: To some extent, you get to hang out, have other hobbies, and you make thirty-five million bucks a year doing it.
01:04:29 --> 01:04:38 [SPEAKER_01]: Imagine if we generated as much traffic doing a podcast every five days as the current setup we do and think of all the, everything we could do at that, that off time.
01:04:38 --> 01:04:39 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.
01:04:39 --> 01:04:41 [SPEAKER_02]: We could get good golf and go out the actual dayman.
01:04:42 --> 01:04:42 [SPEAKER_02]: I'll tell you why.
01:04:42 --> 01:04:44 [SPEAKER_02]: I'll tell you what the two of us will not be doing.
01:04:45 --> 01:04:51 [SPEAKER_02]: Going out on the golf course with Joel Damon, because we would embarrass ourselves to the one hundredth degree percentile.
01:04:51 --> 01:04:54 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, many golf with him, but he probably still kicked my ass at that, too.
01:04:55 --> 01:04:55 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, probably.
01:04:56 --> 01:05:03 [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing Joel down in Arizona at some point, whether it's spring training or the next time he comes up to Washington, he did say in the interview.
01:05:04 --> 01:05:06 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, Teddy, either said interview or post interview.
01:05:06 --> 01:05:09 [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, if the Mariners get into the playoffs, I got to try to make a trip up.
01:05:09 --> 01:05:10 [SPEAKER_02]: So that was really cool.
01:05:11 --> 01:05:14 [SPEAKER_02]: I really hope people enjoyed that one because that is when we've wanted to do for a while.
01:05:15 --> 01:05:16 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to speak for you.
01:05:16 --> 01:05:17 [SPEAKER_02]: I think you lived up to it.
01:05:17 --> 01:05:19 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was super cool.
01:05:20 --> 01:05:22 [SPEAKER_01]: Like as genuine of a sports fan as you'll get.
01:05:22 --> 01:05:24 [SPEAKER_01]: It's just sitting down, talking ball.
01:05:24 --> 01:05:25 [SPEAKER_01]: That's what we all want.
01:05:27 --> 01:05:27 [SPEAKER_02]: Hundred percent.
01:05:28 --> 01:05:28 [SPEAKER_02]: I think we got it.
01:05:28 --> 01:05:31 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, again, really awesome.
01:05:31 --> 01:05:33 [SPEAKER_02]: Shout out to Joel for taking them time to hop on the pod.
