Authentic Mediterranean Cuisine. Authentic Greek. Cornado, La Jolla, Petco Park. For dining, takeout options, visit spiro's cuisine dot com. Chris here, Matt Scrabie there. Tony Gwen Jr. on a happy bus ride from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore. After the pottery is not only beat the Washington Nationals today, three nothing, but Dylan sees no hit the Nationals. Second no hitter in Padre team history took Joe Musgrove 53 seasons to get the first took Dylan sees a little more than three seasons to get the second. It's good stuff. It's definitely good stuff. I just think that Dylan sees. We've been talking about it for years because Chris Paddick came close to a no hitter to Nelson Lamet came really close to a no hitter. Who was the, was it Jordan Liles who had like a eight, he was in the eighth with a no hitter? Petco and it ended up getting broken up. But pottery has had a lot of them early in their history as well. Dylan sees just seems like long time, long time pottery fans remember the names Clay Kirby, Steve Arlen. These are guys that took no hitters into the ninth, did not get it. 53 years later, finally Musgrove delivered the pottery's with the last team in Major League Baseball to have a no hitter. Now they have two of the 306 that have been thrown. In the history of the sport, Dylan sees struck out nine walk three today faced only one batter over the minimum. How's on Kim 12 in all three runs with a bases loaded double following a one hour and 16 minute rain delay in the top of the first inning. There was even some thought that maybe Dylan sees might not even be able to start the game. I mean the rain delay can totally mess up your warm up schedule and all of that. But I don't think there was a whole lot of discussion about that. He went out to the mound and dominated. All right, we are we're excited here because joining us from the Montezuma Mesa, Sean Lewis is the Aztecs head football coach getting ready to start his first season. On May 25th, Dylan sees pitched against the New York Yankees at Petco Park. Why am I bringing this up? Because on that day, Sean Lewis threw out the first pitch at Petco Park. Coach, do you remember coach? What's up guys? Yeah, I remember that night. And I don't know if you saw what Dylan sees today with the no hitter, but everybody's no, no, right? Yeah, everybody's one in positive history if I'm not mistaken. There you are not mistaken, coach. You're all you're on top of it. And I know you're very busy. You get a lot going on. Hey, great to have you on the show. We appreciate it and give us a little update. I can't believe it's like just a tad more than a month before you get to play your first game. And I imagine you're about ready to run through a wall right now. Yeah, guys, it's exciting. I mean, obviously there's been a ton of work that's been done by the staff. And more importantly, the kids, you know, ever since we got rolling in January here, but the guys will finish up our eight week summer conditioning phase tomorrow morning with one last run with coach Sobel. And then we'll have an extended weekend for a little bit of R&R to to get refreshed and get their minds right. And we'll report to camp, you know, next week and then shoot a week from today. We'll get we'll get rocking and rolling and maximize, you know, the month of August that we have to get right and to become a team and to be able to go out and execute and defend our home turf on August 31st. That's not trying against a really good Texas A&M commerce team. Coach, let me ask you now that you've had this job for a while and you look back at the first, I don't know, six months or so since you've been hired, what about the job has been kind of what you expected? And what about the job has maybe surprised you a little bit over the first six months, something maybe you weren't expecting as much? Yeah, I mean, the number one thing that jumped the mind is the tremendous support of the administration and President De La Torre and obviously how important athletics are to the fabric of our university. I knew that was going to be the case, but to have their support, to have their encouragement and to have their backing with all the things that we feel like we need to do to consistently bring championships, you know, here home to the Mesa again, that has been outstanding. You know, the thing that, you know, probably maybe was a bit of a surprise, you know, I was probably pretty naive to think that, hey, coming to San Diego, you know, not a small college town, maybe able to, you know, blend in a little bit more and kind of get lost on, you know, a little bit of downtime that I have or that my staff had and it's just been amazing everywhere that we go, you know, with the support of the community. You're not blending in at all and the staff ain't blending in. Our players aren't blending in. Everyone is dying to have a winner and to pack snap dragon and to have an exciting brand of football in all three phases. So, you know, that was probably just a little bit more naive to take on my part, think of that, you know, hey, in the big city, be able to escape a little bit. But man, that is a welcome surprise and, you know, greatly, greatly embrace that. Talking to the Aztecs football head coach, Sean Lewis here on 97 through the fan. And I got two questions for you. One very serious question or they're not serious questions, but one's kind of a joke question. How much sleep do you get? Because you have incredible energy and I need to learn your secret if you're not getting that much sleep. I'm at my best when I can get about six, six and a half hours of sleep. So, typically, I'm pretty regimented and by about 10, 30, 10, 45, I'm down and then the alarm's going off about four, 34, 45 to go. You know, but again, we were just talking about it as a staff actually yesterday, you know, just finding the ways they're unique to yourself to keep your energy up because we are in the energy transfer business, right? And we got to be full so we can pour into these kids, you know, so just, hey, whether that's daily reading, so I enjoy doing that and enjoy working out. Like, those are things that keep my battery up, keep me, you know, energized and charged. And it's pretty easy when you've got a great group of young men that you get to pour into and have the fabulous spot like San Diego State to do it. Well, thank you for entertaining that question, Coach Lewis. My actual question is going to be this one. As Chris said, the season's almost here. What are the most intriguing storylines for Aztecs fans to keep an eye on during pre-season camp? Yeah, I mean, the two biggest things are, you know, how we continue to grow and improve and come together along both of our fronts, the offensive line and the defensive line. I'm a big believer that the game is one there as much as the game has evolved and all the changes and trends that are going on. There's still a physicality that needs to be established along both the offensive line and the defensive line. So, you know, excited for the new pieces that we've added, excited for the guys who, you know, were held out during spring practice because of injuries and things like that to have everyone up and available to really fortify and to build the physicality of our team along both lines. It's going to be a great storyline to pay close attention to. And then the other piece is, you know, it doesn't matter what level of ball it is, you need a quarterback. And, you know, we've got a very deep quarterback room and the competition in there is going to be fierce and looking forward to see who comes out of that quarterback competition, you know, as our starter and it's going to be our guys. We go forward. Sean Lewis is with us. And just a quick aside, coach, you mentioned you got up at 4.30 every day. You have to get up at 4.30 every day. If you're going to be a surf pro like you're heading towards, you saw your clip of your surfing. But, you know, it's great to see you, you know, just jump into the San Diego, into this community. And I think, you know, the people have welcomed you because you have welcomed San Diego. And, yeah, I think everybody really is excited to buy your presence in this team. You look around the conference, you're you're obviously new coach. There's eight new coaches total in this conference in the mountain west. I know you're still looking on opening day, but as you look down the road a little bit, is it a little difficult to get a read on exactly what we're up against this year? Or are you just going to focus on your club for now? Yeah, I mean, it's probably a little bit of coach speak, but I'm always going to be more obsessed and about my club. And that's always going to be top of mind. But to your point, yeah, I mean, it's a little bit of chasing ghosts in the unknown within the conference, not only with the eight new coaches within the league, but then also, you know, all the roster turnover that has taken place because of the new coaches and the transfer portal and the different pieces that have come and gone. So, yeah, I think it's always critically important to, you know, again, obsess about, you know, your team and, you know, the impact that you can have within your own building. And then regardless of who happens to be the the next gray faceless opponent that's going to line up across from us, you do your due diligence, and you give them the respect of us preparing for them throughout the course of the week. But, you know, our plan to win is about the things that we can control. And those are the people and what we do and how we do it within our building. We're talking to Aztecs football head coach Sean Lewis here on 97 three, the fan. And last one for me, coach, thank you so much for the time. We had three of your players in studio a few weeks ago to kind of observe our radio show and just learn what it's all about, learn kind of what the media ins and outs are. And I think it's awesome that they did that and they have interest outside of football. Do you encourage guys to do things like that and look ahead to life after or outside football? Absolutely. And I think that's one of the tremendous advantages of our great city, right, is where we have all these tremendous opportunities, whether it's coming into the studio with you guys and being able to learn that craft or one of the other numerous companies or relationships that we have within the community so that guys can always kind of be thinking about life after ball, right? I mean, whether that is when they're done here on the Mesa playing their last nap or it's after a great NFL career, I mean, at the end of the day, you're going to look up and there's a whole, you know, another chapter that needs to be written. And I want our guys, you know, to be elite in all things that they do and obviously to do a great job, you know, on the field, but I don't want them to be defined just as football players, right? Playing football is something that they do, but I want them to be well rounded young men and, you know, just get out in the community as much as possible, grow with shadow ships, internships, those opportunities, their second to none that, again, I feel very fortunate that we're able to provide because of support within our community. It's second to none. I can tell you, right off the hand, coach Dale Shawn Staley, your new safety from Kansas City. If you need somebody to call out your defensive signals, he's got a pretty good voice because he did a good job in studio news. Very inquisitive and, you know, very much fun to hang around. They asked a ton of questions. They were great. They were really great. It was a lot of fun having them in here. Last thing, coach, and again, thanks so much to the time because you are so busy for sure. But the fans want to know this. I mean, you're four and eight last year, etc. This happened that, but the Aztecs had won the 10 game. The nine games have been to Bulls. Can you put any cap on how much of a turnaround you can have in one season? What is your attitude and what is your, what is your, your whole theory as you kind of talk to the people around San Diego and how much you'd like to get done here early? Yeah, I mean, the biggest thing for us is to maximize each and every single day. You know, we have a mantra that we've installed and, you know, established since day one called be the alpha and we define that as improving and competing today, right? To stack all these plus one days. And that's really what it's about, right? To be in the present, to improve and become a better version of yourself, day in and day out, compete against yourself, compete against your brothers in the building. So that iron sharpened iron as we go forward. And I think it'd be unfair to the kids right now to say, hey, we're, we're a bull team, we're a six win team, we're a seven win team, you know, when I don't know by, you know, the end of camp and where we're going to be a month from now, you know, what that looks like. And I don't want to put a ceiling on this, on this crew. I think we got a tremendous, you know, group of young men that are exceptional in all areas of their life. I feel very fortunate with the staff we've been able to bring here and excited to do the work day in and day out. And you know, when we look up at the end of this thing, I think we're going to like where we're at. Well, we were really happy to have you coach and speaking for the rest of the Aztecs for life that are listening to the show. That's me Aztecs for life and really excited to have you personally. Look forward to going out and seeing your club play and hopefully catching up with you during the season. Thanks for giving us an update. We really appreciate the time. Yeah, guys. Thanks for the opportunity. Go Aztecs. You betcha. There you go. It's Sean Lewis, a guy that a Scrabby said six and a half hours sleep seems to do him quite well. Okay. I thought it was going to be a fun question and it turned into he's rock solid. He's got everything mapped out this guy. He does. He does because I had a 10 45, I'm up with 430. I originally thought like when I asked the question because college football coaches are probably up all night looking at film. They go to sleep for a couple hours here and there, but that that is interesting to me that he's he has to put himself in that space where he gets to sleep between those hours. He is he's he sounds like a he sounds like a from central casting a great football coach. He does. That's just what he sounds like. I mean, there's no other. Yeah, there's no other way to describe it. He said, what do you know about coach Lewis? I mean, I've talked to him a couple of times. He sounds like he's, you know, just a legit going to be successful. No other two ways about it football coach. You know, I think it's here for a long time. I think it's fair that the fans, you know, we root for 12 and O, but we understand that we're coming off four and eight. And even though you got to transfer portal and things can change, you got a new quarterback. You got a new system. You got new players, new coaches, new everything. And, you know, may take a little time, but I don't see how he's not going to do well. Like he just seems like automatic to me. I'm buying what he's selling and I have always bought what he's sold. It's not like he stood up there, the opening press conference and I was kind of like, he had a home run and his opening press conference. And you believe him and you could see it. You could see the belief he has in everything that he's telling everyone. He's embraced the city and the city's already embraced him. So it's a great start for coach Lewis, but ultimately law come down to what happens starting August 31st, five o'clock, snap dragon stadium, snappy Texas A&M. Commerce, not the Aggies, but September 7th. See, we're allowed to look ahead. He's not. Yeah. Yeah. Second game is pretty intriguing. Oregon State. That is a good one on September the 7th. They got crash last year. Now, dragon state and they lost to them. I'm sure. Yeah. They'll they also go to Cal. They go to central Michigan. God, I wish I could get in on that trip to Mount Pleasant, Michigan. You really want to go? Nope. But that's that's the inner out of conference schedule. You also got one against Washington state and Washington state and Oregon state. I honestly can't figure out what conference they're really in. They are listed in the pack. Exactly. There's not 12 teams though. There's the pack to the pack to. But yeah, the Aztecs will host both of those schools this year. All I know is that I just want the Aztecs to beat Washington state so badly. Why why particularly them? Washington state fans seem to get in my DMS a lot for some reason. I don't know. There are Washington state fans. I guess I do not know that I'm thinking particularly of two people that went to Washington state right now. Who could cause you havoc? They time to time. They make sure that I know that Washington state is a college that plays sports for sure. It's a university. I'm looking forward to the ACC match up with Cal. Are you? Is it in Atlantic Coast? No, it's going to be on the West Coast. I am so tired of Cal and Stan for being in the ACC and they haven't even started being there yet. Check traffic more going in Chris on the way.

Hi, welcome back at 424 Priscilla Scrabie alongside today in the Odyssey Palace Studios, Tony Gwen Jr. joined us earlier in the wake of Dylan Cease and his no-hitter today in Washington, D.C., which Scrabie likes to point out should now be called Washington Dylan Cease. I'm actually not the first one who came up with that. What was your other joke about that? Oh, then that's where it de-ceased. That one is funny. You like that one. That one's good, but I'm not the first one who did the Dylan Cease thing. Dylan Cease with a no-hitter today, struck out nine, walked three, faced only one batter over the minimum. 114 pitches got it done, had to talk Mike Schilt into getting the opportunity. After seven innings and 94 pitches, Schilt was ready to remove Cease. Joe Musgrove, among others, helped talk Schilt out of it. Joe Musgrove turned to Mike Schilt and said, "It's got pretty good stuff." Mike Schilt quipped later. Well, if Joe said so, it must have been true. You know, Mike Schilt really is kind of trying to get off Scott free here. I'm not sure what he's what's going on here. Well, I don't know either, but I don't, I'm not going to be critical, but I just the notion that you were going to take him out of the game. So tired of that. He was so dominant. Like what makes you think? Why would you even think about taking him out of the game? If he was 114 pitches through seven innings, then you take him out. Then I get it, but at 94, you're going over to shake his hand and he's like, "Wait a minute. I'm at 94. I got this." I don't even know how many pitches the eighth inning was, but it wasn't many. It was nine. It was nine. Okay, so that helped a lot. So he got to 103, and then he threw 11 pitches in the ninth inning. 114 is one more than his career high of 113. I don't think his arms going to break or fall off. It's managers. It's not, well, it's not shilt only. It's just baseball. So wimpy the way they treat these pitchers. They wonder why half of them are injured because you're so scared that they're going to get injured. We complain about them taking the pitchers out too early, but then we complain about the pitchers when they're injured. Yes, but that's not because they leave them in too long. For years and years and years, guys through 300 pitches, 300 innings, 250 innings, struck out 300 batters, pitch complete games, 25 to 30 a year. Why were they able to do that then? And they can't do it now because they throw harder now and they put too much stress on their arms. I believe that. I believe some of it. Some of it tweeted Don or Sillow today. My fifth no hitter. Oh man. It never gets old. Man. He's got to call five of them now. That's royalty right there. Can't find Dylan Cease, Joe Musgrove and three while he was the voice of the Red Sox, John Lester, Clay Buckholtz, and Hideo Nomo. Wow, it goes way back. Hideo Nomo pitched a no hitter for the Dodgers at course field. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's the only one. He also pitched one for the Red Sox. Hideo Nomo threw two no hitters in his career. The reason I mentioned Don or Sillow's tweet is because there was this from Uncle Teddy today. Tweeted Ted Lightner. True. I broadcast over 5,000 Padre games. Wow. Zero no hitters by the boys. Anyone on to congratulate Cease and franchise. No number two, etc. But that is true. I mean, that's got to be infuriating to a certain extent. But he sat there for many, many bad years. 5,000 games. No, no nose for Teddy ball game. Padre's get one today, the second in franchise history. All right. We got a big five coming up. There's some other things going on in the world of sports. Five o'clock hour. You kind of had something because we're going to stick around for a little extra time. What was in the five o'clock hour? Anything? I thought you had something. No, we decided to move it. We moved whatever you had in the five o'clock. No, we moved it to three, four. Oh, we did. We can. Well, we can talk about this off the air. It's what we can do. I don't know. I kind of like letting people in behind the scenes to see how ridiculously bad we are at putting our show together sometimes. I will say this, we will take phone calls. And you think so. And we're going to hear from Tony again, because we heard from Tony earlier in the show. And we got to hear from Tony after a no hitter. So before that, yes, yes, we do know that. And then during this break, I will talk Scrabie out of what everything he just told you. Stick around more going and Chris on the way. I can imagine somebody driving along going, wait a minute. What was that? I knew Joan Musgrove, Christian O'Hitter. What are you talking about? Dylan Sees? What? Yeah, he puts you in the hitter today. Welcome back. Good and Chris at 436 on a Thursday afternoon. It was a rainy Thursday in Washington, D.C., an hour and 16 minute rain delay in the top of the first inning was immediately followed by Hassan Kim's bases clearing double. That turned about to be the only three runs of the game. Padres win it three nothing. Sees faces just one batter over the minimum, strikes out nine, walks three, throws 114 pitches in the second no hitter in franchise history. Gwen and Chris at 437, big five coming up in just a second. Before we get to that, couple of quick baseball trade deadline notes and it'll be quick, Scrabie. Can see already squirming over there. Chicago White Sox starter Garrett Crochet says he wants a contract extension. Oh my God, why'd you do that? Because this whole thing has just bothered me, this Garrett Crochet story. Oh, why don't you do that sound? Because I finished the story. Well, he says he wants a contract extension. So if you're going to trade for him, you're going to have to deal with a contract extension potentially as well. Yes. That's going to make it much more difficult to trade for him. Yes. He's also not pitching as many innings anymore. All right, I'm just updating people on the trade deadline and you're playing. I'm over it. Sounds that are not necessarily wonderful. You know what? I like guys who say this, get me off of the White Sox and put me on a winning team. I'll figure out the contract later. Yeah, well, guys, don't say that. One guy that's probably not going to be traded for ahead of Tuesday's deadline now. Oakland is all star reliever Mason Miller. That's because he landed on the 15 day injured list fracture of his non pitching left, pinky finger. He broke it while preparing to exercise in the training room, placed his hand on the training table in an awkward position. Are these guys made out of paper? What is it? He broke his pinky and he broke his hand, broke his finger. Wow. San Francisco Chronicle reports that Miller was frustrated about something and pounded his hand on a table. That makes a little more sense. That makes a ton more sense. God. All right. People, your livelihood is in your hand. Pounding your hands on the table. These guys make no sense. Although breaking your pinky would be pretty painful. Got to say. Yeah, sorry. Not a smart move. I guess it's a smart move if you want to stay with the A's because they're not going to be able to trade you now. Here's traffic and then today's Big Five. It's that time of the show.

According to Ben Higgins is reading of that commercial. He eats it too. Sounds like he says he says they love it and I do too. I don't think he meant it like that. But we've kind of every time I hear it though, I think of the same thing every time. All right. We're going to talk pro far. We're going to talk college football and we are going to talk about Aaron Rodgers and then finish up with something the Raiders did that I think maybe is the dumbest thing they could have done. Number five. We're going to start with jerks and pro far and he continues to deliver for the Padres and he keeps doing it in huge spots. Not only that, he is doing it from both sides of the plate. He doesn't have overwhelmingly eye popping numbers for an MVP, but he is delivering for the Padres in clutch moments and has done so all season long. I'm not saying he's in the running for the MVP. I'm saying this. It's an extreme long shot, but is he Chris on the list of National League MVP candidates right now? Yeah, he's on the list. I mean, he's going to be getting some votes. Remember the top 10 people turn in a ballot with 10 names on it for MVP. I don't think you can turn in the top 10 ballot in the national league to this point in the season. There's not 10 guys and not include jerks and pro far. Yeah. And I'm not just saying that from a Padre perspective, I'm saying that from a impact perspective. We talked about this earlier. There's been a little magic to this Padre season. Now today that magic was spun by Dylan Cease is no hitter, but go back to all of the magic moments of this season. Practically, it's been pro far every time. You're almost every time. You're right. He's really having a great year. He was the, wasn't he not the top vote getter in the outfield or did he get past in that category? I know he started. Yeah, I didn't remember where he finished, but yeah, I, I, you can't name 10 guys before you get to him on the MVP race. So yes, I agree with he's not a, I'm not going to win over Otani, schemes, schemes, some of these other, you know, Hall of Famers, but pro far deserves, you know, quite a bit of good mention this year and he's going to get it. I agree with everything you said. My definition of an MVP is if you take that person off of the team is the team going to be in a similar spot. If you take Otani off the Dodgers, they're not going to be in a similar spot, but Otani, he's already got the numbers. Jerks and pro far, if you take him off this team, the Padres are not going to be in the similar spot. And jerks and pro far, I think means more to this team than others due to their teams, because throughout the year, when they weren't hitting jerks and pro far was, and he, he's won quite a number of games for the Padres this year. I think he should be on the list for you. He's having a, you know, phenomenal year. Would we call it a renaissance? I just hope he never wakes up. I hope he keeps it going. He's got two months to go and let's just, you know, every time he turns around, he seems to come through. I mean, yesterday was another one. You know, they're down three nothing early before they're done in the second inning. He's got him back ahead four to three. Yep. It's been there all year. All right. Number four, with college football starting very soon, fans have been doing their thing and talking trash about rival teams. Well, one post I saw today was about Ohio State, sorry. Burrita's fan. If you're out there and they're quote unquote, charm and soft schedule in 2024. If you, I wouldn't did this. If you take all of their opponent win lost records of last year, it comes out to 83 and 71. So a 54% winning percentage total across all the teams. But with the expanded playoff and some conferences getting automatic spots, do top teams need to play tough schedules anymore? I'm up first. The big 10. That's what I was looking for an SEC already have guaranteed spots. It's not about strength of schedule. It seems like now. So if you finish the top of your conference, it doesn't matter who you play throughout the year, because you'll get that automatic spot. I think that this is a, it definitely is going to water down schedules a little bit. And I think it's going to make costable worse. So one thing there's a lot wrong with college football. And one of them is the fact that the big 10 and the SEC have so many, so much power, so many games that are huge in conference that the month of September is a waste of our time as fans. Ohio State's a perfect example. They're playing Akron, Western Michigan and Marshall. Yeah. Does anybody care about any of those games? Akron was two and 10 last year. Well, I, it doesn't even matter. These are just total mismatches, right? These aren't even games. So, you know, the month of September is going to suffer. And you're probably right. I mean, as long as Ohio State finishes first, second or third in the big 10, they'll probably get into the playoff, even though when you look at their schedule, looks like three hard games this year at Oregon in October at Penn State in November and home to Michigan to finish up. Otherwise, the other nine or 10 Ohio State games you can phone them in the Northwestern games at Riggly. I will be checking out. Is there enough room in Riggly for a football field? I guess they did it that one time. The Chicago Bears used to play at Riggly Field. So there is enough room. There should be enough room. This is like three feet between the end zone and the wall. Yeah. I've seen some highlights of gale shares running right into the brick wall after scoring a touchdown because it's right. It was right there. It's concerning. Yeah. Number three. Now, Chris, you grew up with the Rose Bowl, right? I did. They are seeking, actually, to get out of the college football playoff semi-final rotation starting in 2026, according to CBS Sports. If bowl officials are successful, the granddaddy of them all will permanently move it to its traditional January 1st date. Some say the Rose Parade is really the event out of either, if you choose the game or the Rose Parade, the Rose Parade is where they want to keep that going in the same spot. That was a really bad way of explaining that. Chris, does the Rose Bowl game still hold weight for you? No. I mean, well, a little. I mean, you know, as soon as they took it away from the Pac 10 versus the Big 10, and they pack 12 versus the Big 10, and that's been now 15 years or so. As soon as they let teams like TCU and teams like who else got in there? Some crazy teams for a couple of years. I just, you know, I kind of, the Rose Bowl just became any other game. So, but if they want to play it on January 1st and not be part of the rotation, I think they're kind of, you know, cutting off their arm to nose despite their face. Yeah, because I'll do respect to my friends who work at the Holiday Bowl, and that includes my wife. Bowl games outside of the playoff are just not going to be interesting anymore, or as interesting. You might be able to create a fun matchup here or there, but it's all going to be about those 11 playoff games. I don't know why even the Rose Bowl, the Rose Bowl is going to be a game between Nebraska and Stanford, but neither of them are in the playoff. Is it really going to matter? So I think they got to be careful here. Yeah, they do because the Rose Bowl is not going to carry enough weight on its own for me to tune in. Yeah, it's like you got to be, you got to understand the popularity of yourself, basically. Like, am I going to be able to survive if I don't have the college football playoff? And the answer is no. I just, everybody's focused on these games. So I'm going to anger some people right now and say that I think the Rose Parade should be canceled forever. The Rose Parade? Yeah, I'm over it. I know people love parades. I don't understand parades. I've never been a parade person. I'm going to ask you a question. Okay, if you have to go to one thing, you can't say no. Okay, you're going to go to the Rose Parade, or go to the Macy, yearly fireworks display downtown or something that you see 10 times a year. I'm going to the fireworks. Yeah, I don't really care about parades. I really don't. It's, I probably should care about my go to the parade over the fireworks. Have you ever been in a parade? Maybe that's my problem. I've never been in a parade. Why would you be? Well, because, you know, literally what have you done? What have you done? Just observing in a parade. I see a good question. That's a good question. I haven't come up with an answer for that one. Very good. Number two. All right. So Aaron Rodgers finally spoke about why he missed the mandatory mini camp earlier in the summer. And he said he missed it because he was going to Egypt, Chris. He explained I originally scheduled actually let me or he said I originally scheduled it based on the previous year schedule. I believe by the 9th or 10th. Once I saw the schedule, I started to move things around and it just didn't happen. So he went on this vacation anyway. Here he is talking to the media. And why did you know the trip to Egypt? Why did it happen to you that week rather than say a week later? Yeah, you know what? I originally scheduled it based on the previous year schedule, which had us out, I believe by the 9th or 10th. So once I saw the schedule, I was trying to move some things around and it just didn't happen. Oh, I've been a fan for three decades. Ever since I was in a gifted and talented education class. I don't know those are paid for or not, but I was in it. We studied mythology from Egypt and Greece and those are like my top two on the bucket list. So, you know, back in. I've heard enough. Are you kidding me with this? You have a question surrounding this? I do. I do. It's not really about Aaron Rodgers, but it's more about the Jets. Okay, I'll just ask the question and move on because I don't want you to say anything about Aaron Rodgers. How many games do the Jets win this year, Chris? Or I guess I'm up first. I think they win seven. They're seven and 10. That's what they were last year. I know and they didn't have Aaron Rodgers. I feel like Aaron Rodgers is not going to be the same guy this year and he's probably going to prove me wrong because he is Aaron Rodgers and he can't play incredible football late in his life, but I feel like last year missing that year and he's just a year older. His body is going to who knows. I don't think they're going to be as good as they would have been last year, Chris. I just think the whole thing is ridiculous that the guy had to go to Egypt when he had mandatory camp and then tried to explain it away as if there was nothing mandatory about it, even though every other player was there. Yeah, I hate that. Every other player was totally hated. Yeah, but really do. It's like, that's what they signed on for. Well, who are we talking about the other day signing on for something that you you're telling in the chance now like telling me the Jets are getting what they deserve? Yeah, because they brought him in. They moved heaven and earth to try to get him on the team. He unfortunately got hurt in the first time. I just am not a fan of people that are all about themselves and not the team they play for that really bothers me. Did he drop that he was in a special gifted class? Of course he did. I love Egypt too, but Aaron Rodgers is so polarized and the guy hosted jeopardy for heaven's sake and he was pretty good at it. I know you you did like him. God. All right. I can't like this guy. I hope the Jets win. They're gonna got a winning game. They got at least win nine. They got to go over 500 nine. Oh, yeah. Okay. Number one. All right. I just saw this on social media a little bit earlier, but I retweeted it on 90 around at Matt Scrabie. The Raiders have apparently they they ordered a Kermit the Frog puppet that you could put on your hand and they added some hair to it a fro and they're saying it's the Patrick Mahomes Kermit the Frog. Yeah, they put a red jersey on and a helmet red helmet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They talk like him. You know, everybody talks like Patrick Mahomes. Yes. And they're filming in and they're running around training camp pretending Patrick Mahomes is a stupid puppet. Okay. On the scale of one to a hundred. How stupid is this? What's what is very stupid? 100? Yes. This is a 200. I don't get it. I don't get it either. I'm glad the razor Raiders are having a good time. This is a guy that continually beat your bleep in conference division play twice a year. He's attended. He's done it for like six straight years and he's going to do it two more times this year. And just in case he's having a bad day, he's going to be able to picture you running around with his dumb puppet. And he's going to get fired up and beat you again. He what am I missing? Scrabie. You're not missing anything. I mean, I couldn't coach in the NFL right now because I would tell my guys, you know what? This is stupid and they'd look at me like I'm an idiot for even bringing it up. Something that Antonio Pierce just without really knowing anything about him, he just doesn't seem like he would he would want his team doing this. He was an NFL player. He knows what motivation you can give someone and football is the one sport where if you try harder, you can do better. Yeah, you know, I think baseball, if you try harder, you don't always do better. No, you're right. Basketball hockey the season is too long. You have to pace yourself football. You know, Patrick Momes going to be fired up. He doesn't need a puppet to get him fired up, but why even give him the chance? Yes. Agree. I think the Raiders are stupid for doing 10 and two against the Raiders and Patrick Momes is and the Chiefs have won eight straight AFC West titles. But let me also say this, even without the Kermit the Frog thing, the Raiders are generally stupid. That's a good point. That's kind of just their DNA. That's a good point. Thank you Scrabie. Coming up the happy hour. Whoo. It's actually a happy hour and a half. We're extending things to six 30 today when Chris rolls on on the day that Dylan Cease pitches the second no hitter in Padres history. It's that time of the show when we check on the latest in sports. Only the most important topics and questions are brought to light. Stop what you're doing and listen. These news fund amaze you.

If you get hungry late at night, you can always have a snack. You can have a snack. According to Ben Higgins is reading of that commercial. He eats it too. It's not a lot. He says he says they love it and I do too. I don't think he meant it like that. No. We've kind of every time I hear it though. I think of the same thing every time. All right. We're gonna talk pro far. We're gonna talk college football and we are going to talk about Aaron Rogers and then finish up with something the Raiders did that I think maybe is the dumbest thing they could have done. Number five. We're gonna start with jerks and pro far and he continues to deliver for the Padres and he keeps doing it in huge spots. Not only that. He is doing it from both sides of the plate. He doesn't have overwhelmingly eye popping numbers for an MVP, but he is delivering for the Padres and clutch moments and has done so all season long. I'm not saying he's in the running for the MVP. I'm saying this. It's an extreme long shot, but is he Chris on the list of National League MVP candidates right now? Yeah, he's on the list. I mean, he's gonna be getting some votes. Remember the top 10 people turn in a ballot with 10 names on it for MVP. I don't think you can turn in the top 10 ballot in the national league to this point in the season. There's not 10 guys and not include jerks and pro far. Oh, yeah. And I'm not just saying that from a Padre perspective, I'm saying that from a impact perspective. We talked about this earlier. There's been a little magic to this Padre season. Now today that magic was spun by Dylan Cease is no hitter, but go back to all of the magic moments of this season. Practically, it's been pro far every time. Almost every time. You're right. He's really having a great year. He was that. Wasn't he not the top vote getter in the outfield? Or did he get past in that category? I know he started. Yeah, I didn't remember where he finished, but yeah, I you can't name 10 guys before you get to him on the MVP race. So yes, I agree with these. Not a not gonna win over Otani schemes, schemes, some of these other, you know, Hall of Famers, but pro far deserves, you know, quite a bit of good mention this year, and he's gonna get it. I agree with everything you said. My definition of an MVP is if you take that person off of the team is the team going to be in a similar spot. If you take Otani off the Dodgers, they're not going to be in a similar spot, but Otani, he's already got the numbers jerks and pro far. If you take him off this team, the Padres are not going to be in the similar spot and jerks and pro far, I think means more to this team than others due to their teams, because throughout the year, when they weren't hitting jerks and pro far was and he he's won quite a number of games for the Padres this year.

With college football starting very soon, fans have been doing their thing and talking trash about rival teams. Well, one post I saw today was about Ohio State. Sorry, Brutus fan, if you're out there and they're quote unquote, Charmond soft schedule in 2024. If you, I wouldn't do this.

And he said he missed it because he was going to Egypt, Chris. He explained I originally scheduled actually let me or he said I originally scheduled it based on the previous year schedule believed by the 9th or 10th.
