How many kids do a classroom? Homes.com, those, these are all things you ask when you're home shopping as a parent. That's why each listing on homes.com includes extensive reports on local schools, including photos, parent reviews, test scores, student teacher ratio, school rankings, and more. The information is from multiple trusted sources and curated by homes.com's dedicated in-house research team. It's also you can make the right decision for your family. Homes.com, we've done your homework. Hey, welcome into the happy hour. We're happy because it's the last hour, especially today. Normally we're happy we'd be more than happy to stay on all night and Scrabie's going to attempt to actually do that. He's doing a Scrabie Chronicles program following this one at six o'clock tonight, even though there's absolutely bubkas going on in the world of sports today. I think the highlight story for me today was this Terrell Davis story. That was the highlight for you. That, yeah, pretty much. Not the story I just got on my phone for about from MLB. But what does, yeah, why don't you share that bit of hard-breaking news. Push notification with the subject line. The mustache is so in and the description. Paul Scienes has brought the mustache back to prominence. Paul, he didn't let the mustache everyone. I don't know if they know. I don't know if they know, but he did not invent the mustache. They're trying to get us to think he did. Guess what's on, Chris? What's that? Guess what's on right now? I know. Home Run Derby's getting underway shortly. If you absolutely, positively have to know what's going on in this highly thrilling event, we'll probably pass along some tidbits to you here over the next hour. But you know, the Home Run Derby doesn't do it for me. Scrabie's pretty excited about it. He'll probably be ooh-ing and eyeing in the background as we go along here in the final hour of the program. In fact, that's how my show's going to go. Ooh. I told you fireworks. That's it. Think fireworks. For the Home Run Derby. For the Home Run Derby. By the way, Padre's all-star game, you know, I'm just disappointed. I'm really disappointed. I'm ticked off. Why? As a matter of fact. Why? Well, first of all, I'm disappointed. You know, Fernando obviously can't play. And we don't know when Fernando's coming back, which is disappointing. Secondly, Luis Arise had to jump out of the All-Star game. And I think that makes one wonder, makes me wonder anyway, just how hurt Luis Arise has been the last month, month and a half. He has not been hitting like Luis Arise. Yep. Just not even close. So, you know, I think that definitely tells you about what's going on with this thumb, because he seems like the type of guy who would love to play in the All-Star game. Luis Arise is down to 315 on the season. He hasn't walked in 40-something games. I mean, what? I mean, that's almost impossible. It does seem like a lot. It does seem like a lot. You know, maybe I'm going to, actually I'm going to look him up because that stat sounds so impossible to be true that I have to look it up. But we know, we just know, and you look, we only know Luis Arise this season. You know, he was with the twins, he was with the Marlins doing his thing, but just the eye test on Luis Arise, and that's not true. He hasn't walked, what was the stat I saw that he hadn't walked in 40-something games. It's not true. He hasn't walked this month. I was going to say, if he hadn't walked in 40 games, yeah, that'd be way back. No, he hasn't walked this month. He's got one, two RBIs this month. You know, it's been a rough go for him. I do think his thumb is way more injured than we're giving him credit for. He did go three for four in the ball game on Saturday night, and then did not play yesterday. But he goes, he's not going to play. So that's disappointing, and I'm concerned about Arise coming back. But the thing that has me upset, Chris isn't happy. Uh-oh. Jerkson Pro far is batting ninth. I take that as an affront to the kind of season that he's having. I told you, they need someone who could hit the bottom of the line up, Chris. They don't. It's not, look, you reward guys that are doing a great job by giving them a decent spot in the line up. The only reason he's batting ninth is because there isn't a tenth, and that's just making me angry. You're making it seem to me like Jerkson Pro far is only on the All-Star team, kind of as an afterthought. I don't. And he's not on the All-Star team as an afterthought this year. He's on there as a legit contender, if it wasn't for Otani, he's a legit contender even for MVP of the whole league. I just, I think that was a slap in the face by, uh, by our guy, Toriel. I'm going to play, I'm going to play Tony Good Jr. here. Go ahead. Come on, Chris. No. Come on, Chris. Come on, Chris. No, he says don't, don't even come up to me next time Arizona's in town and tell me Hey, I chummed up to our pal, Toriel of Eloise coming on the show. I'm going to tell him to take his St. John's high school born in Santa, or a hospital born in Santa Monica right back to Arizona with him. If you guys weren't here with us four years ago, Chris, and this is a great story, Chris randomly asked Toriel of Elle on the air if he was born in the same hospital as Chris and Toriel was like, I don't know, but then Chris gave him the hospital. He said, yeah, I was actually born in that hospital. So their hospital mates, he was born in Santa Monica as I was. And I asked him if he was born in St. John's hospital and he said, yes, but why are you asking? I'm an interesting thing over here. Don't go away from this subject. I'm trying to get away from this subject. batting ninth is a slap in the face of jerks and pro far. Sorry. I'm taking it that way and I'm going to bet you I'm going to bet you if I can get some truth serum into jerks and pro far between now and the next Arizona series, he's going to use that to motivate himself a little bit. I don't think he likes it. How do you the starter, the position player stay in the game? He's going to get in a bat, right? Oh, if he doesn't get in a bat, then Toriel of Elle is going to be on terrible fire. That would be wrong. No, he'll get in a bat because I know that we'll just play at least three four innings. The outfield, you know, it just depends on many backups. There are. They try to get everybody in. Someone's asking him the chat. Is he the lowest paid player on the all-star game probably a million bucks? Yeah, I bet you he is. Maybe they maybe they did the batting order by pay structure. I don't know. So he goes to the bottom because he's least paid by your, your, yeah, you're the least significant when it comes to pay. So we go in to put you last. I don't find this as offensive as you do. I do. I do. Your bats last. That's not true. Yes. Oh, it's totally true. Are you kidding me? Are we talking about just all-star game in general or in any game? No. In any game. Yes. That's why you bat ninth when we play softball scrappy, I know the worst hitter, I so much to unpack on that comment, but number one, I don't bat ninth. I bat like 13. That's right. Two. I'm not the worst hitter on the team. I'm the worst fielder on the team. The worst hitter on the team bats ninth. Why are you arguing that fact? Because it's the worst hitter. There's a lot of worst hitter bats. There's a little. Okay. All right. Let's go through the, we're going to have to do this now. I'm going to have to go look at all why do you think, why do you think Bryce Johnson batted ninth every game he was with the Padres because he was the best hitter on the team? No. This is an easy one, scrappy. I don't go argue something that you have no chance of arguing. I have backed myself into a corner, but I'm happy to do it. I am. Every once in a blue moon, they'll bat a speedy guy ninth and say that they're kind of giving themselves a second lead off guy, but that's not jerks and pro far. He should not be batting ninth. All right. Can tell Marté. Should he be batting ahead? Can tell Marté? Yes. Should he be batting ahead of Otani? No. He doesn't have to. Should he be batting ahead of tree Turner? I'll give you that one. Bryce Harper. No. William Contreras, please Christian Yellow the hell is William Contreras, you don't even know what you don't even know who he is. Well, you don't know what TV's you play for the Brewers. I know his brother could show up in the game tomorrow and you would have no idea. No idea. They both play in an NL team. So why not having a better year pro far Yellich easily pro far. Go ahead. I haven't looked at Yellich in a long time. Yellich is doing fine. But no pro far. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. He's hitting 326 with an FPS 11 home runs, 21 stolen bases, 41 RBIs, I think that's pretty good. I think that's pretty good. If there is an argument, even though Alec Bohm has been hitting really well this year, I think pro far could go seventh in Alec Bohm. Go ninth. Could you accept that? Who's a tasker Hernandez? I don't know. I just don't like. Yeah, I think he's being disrespected, but you didn't have a better spot for him in the line. That's all I'm saying. You didn't have a better spot for him. Oh, yeah. I did first. Catalmar taken bad ninth. Okay. Where he belongs. All right. I'm going to move off this subject real quick and go to our last topic for the. Don't get me started, by the way, if Jackson Merrill only gets like one inning and know it bats, I will get and also don't get me started if Robert Suarez doesn't get to pitch in the game. I will be with you on that because it was a couple years ago, two things happen along with pro far being dished. You're going to get some serious complaining a couple of years ago, maybe four or five years ago. Kirby Yates got an all star selection, but he never got to pitch in the game, which was a bummer. Well, first of all, in defense of the manager there on the pitching, you can't get all those pitchers and there's 19 pitchers on the roster. There's only nine innings in the game. So I get that, but I don't, but I won't like it. If it comes on top of the fact that you're already stuck pro far in the nine spot, I'm going to go back to my first topic in the big five to kind of run this real quick because we are stuck on the jerks and pro far is being disrespected. Does anybody agree with me? Nobody? Anything. Huh? No one's saying I'm not listening any response. All I know is that people are like, what in the world's happening with this national anthem, but here we go. If you agree with Chris and pro far is being disrespected, please, if you're in the chat, let us know. Let us know. Go search YouTube or search 97 three, ladies and gentlemen, batting nine from your San Diego Padres, easily the worst player on the all star team this year, jerks and pro far. How does that make you sound and feel? Not very good. Uh oh, man, everybody hates that national anthem. I'm going to have to go listen to that a little bit later. I'm not going to listen to it if it's that bad. Was it worse than Fergie a few years ago at the NBA game? I don't know. The NBA all star game. Who sang tonight? I'm not sure. All right. I was reading a very important article detailing how many people Chris are windows closed people on the plane and the articles did an informal poll on this way windows closed. Like if you're a window seat, not windows closed, shutters closed, shutters closed. These windows are closed, if I'm wrong, you don't, you don't have that option. I can't stand you right now, you don't have that option exactly what I meant. I did, but you didn't say that unless you're, unless you're flying on a, on a Boeing plane, the windows can be open sometimes. All right. The article did an informal poll on this and they said that more people would keep their window shade down the whole flight rather than having it up for any period of time during the flight. Personally, I am a window shade up guy until we take off and I look at the land around and then when we start flying window shade goes down and then when we get close to landing window shade goes up, maybe during the flight peak outside a few times. That's about it. But what do you think Chris? First of all, what kind of person are you here? What kind of person am I? First of all, I'm a person that sits in the aisle at all costs. Yes. I am too. All right. So I want to be in the aisle. There's only one reason I want to be in the aisle. Do you know what it is? Because you have to go to the bathroom a lot. Yes. And I am too, I get too, you know, nervous about asking the people in my row to get up more than once. And like on a four and a half hour flight, maybe I might have to go a second time and I a lot of times will just be really uncomfortable because I don't want to ask. So I'd rather be on the aisle. But if I happen to be on the window, it's open for sure. It's open. Well, yeah, it's open the whole way. I don't like the fresh air. I like the fresh air on a plane that remember the thing is closed. But I like the just the feel that, you know, it's kind of an open thing. I like the window open now at night. It's not as important because there's nothing to see. Yeah, there's nothing to see. And you're talking about sleeping, but I like it open. I like the fresh air effect of that. Even though you're right, there's no fresh air actually. Yes. Fresh air. None of the plane. It goes through lots. I also, one of those person, you know, when I'm on the window that for like the last 40 minutes of the flight as you're coming into a city, I just get like staring out the window at every passing thing that's there. I do too. Yeah. I do too. I'm really into that. Stare at that for like the whole way till you land in there. Yeah. No, I get that. I get that. I know. I like the window open. Did you said the people more people close the window? Yes. Some people are afraid or is it what someone said, don't sit behind the window to me. Yes. It's open. Where an eye mask. Yeah. Why do I have to wear an eye mask? Well, I'd have to close the window for you. It's my window. Oh, no. It's your window. You can close it, but I'm saying if it's not your window and it's my window, then where an eye mask because I'm keeping mine open. All right. I'm going to look for this. I like, I like light. I like let there be light. Oh my God, Chris, I got to find, I got to find this National Anthem. Here are four tweets I just randomly saw. This anthem is awful. Thoughts and prayers to her. Oh my goodness. Wood said legit asking if this is a joke. Who did woods would said with the lady, the galshing and the anthem? Was it a joke? And then somewhat assessment is barbecue. Was that anthem a bit? I got to go find this. I got to go find this. I don't know. Why doesn't anybody know who's saying it? I'm not sure. I'm going to go find this during the break though. We got to. All I could find online is that last year was some guy from American Idol who sang the National Anthem. Good for him. That's not who's saying it tonight. No. All right. We'll get to the bottom of that. After traffic, there's a lot more going in Chris and a lot more witty, repar toy just like you heard. What? I don't know.

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Okay, I can't do anymore, Chris, I can't, I can't. Coming up next on the program, Scrabia is going to rake his nails across the chalkboard. Welcome back to Gwyneth, Chris. That was the young lady tonight at the home run Derby who is drawing a lot of attention for her national anthem performance. Do you think she suffered the same problem that Rob Manfred did? Oh, no kidding, she's in the same building. I wonder, I wonder, same building. Same building. Remember Rob Manfred's interview with Corey Seager, the one that we make fun of endlessly, took place ultimately because there is a huge delay in the PA system at Globe Life Field. So when you speak into the microphone, you don't hear it for another couple of seconds. And if you've ever tried to do that, who would actually be in a position in a stadium to try it, but I am one of those people, I have tried it. I was at the old San Diego Stadium and I was doing a PA for a San Diego State baseball game. And so, and they had this delay like that and it really is tough. You thrilled our fans throughout the postseason with a great performance. That's a drunk person. It is somebody who's waiting for his voice to catch up to him. So this young lady sings this tonight and you heard a piece of it there was not great. I must say, Alec Baume is out to a big old lead, seven home runs so far. Thank you. Kathy would like to know which one was worst, that one or Roseanne? Oh, Roseanne will be the all time just because of how she embarrassed the entire idea of the national anthem. Sorry. Was that, that was here in San Diego, right? Of course it was. It was one of the, it was one of the last, shall we say, when Tom Warner, the Hollywood producer was part owner of the Padres, he brought down the likes of a Roseanne bar to try to drum up interest in the Padres through the celebrity angle. Well, did not work. I was going to say it did not work. Yeah. I mean, this late young lady tonight who was a, what did you, you had her name, which didn't mean much to me, but she was a four time, um, Oh, it's Ingrid Andrus, a four time Grammy nominated country singer. Yeah. I'm going to be honest with you, Scrabby. I'm surprised that somebody got nominated for four Grammys would be that far off key. I would think so, unless there was some sort of problem with the PA system and the delay. Because I mean, that was really not good. No, it was not. I mean, we know just from having when Tony's at Petco Park, whoever's singing the national anthem the night of the game at Petco Park sings the national anthem at like two in the afternoon. Yeah, they do every day, every day, they don't just let anyone, you know, even if you're somebody that knows what they're doing, right? Yeah. People have to show that you know what you're doing before they let you sing before a game. And I can't, I can't believe that it at the all star game or the home run derby. They just didn't check the same lady out saying on the chat that the PA sounded bad when they were introducing the players to. If I'm, if I'm the people that own the Texas stadium, I'm going to get that fixed time to get that fixed. And you're embarrassing everybody who does everybody come here, that PA system. Alec Baume off to a great start, Chris. What do you do? 19 home runs. All right. That's a lot. Isn't it? That is. In the new format that they have with only like 41 swings, 19 out of 41 is pretty good. So he's the longest shot on the board to win it. He is. All right. Good for Alex. But this round is different because they're now going to reseed. So he might be the first, the number one seed going into the next round because they received them for the next round, then they have to all face each other according to what they hit in the first. You're trying to explain something to me that doesn't matter to me. Once again, I hate so I hate you, but I don't say you hate me because I hate the home run derby. It doesn't have anything to do with, you know, you, but why can't you just play into it for one night a year? I'm watching. It's on. Okay. It's right here. I'm looking up fair enough. Tom was still swinging. He's not even done. Because he got bonus rounds. So now he's got 20 home runs. Yeah, he's still, he's been swinging for a while. So if you were a hitter, where would you like your pitch? Wait, wait a minute. Is that Jorge De Los Santos pitching to him? You mean any old dale. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I meant. De Los Santos. Or any old dale. Santos. Yeah. Yeah. I think that was any old dale. Santos. Poor. He's like sitting at home right now. No, he's not. And he's given up a lot of home runs this year though. He has. And you know what I said on the scraping show last week that you maybe you will agree with a little bit. The reason that any old dale Los Santos is on the team is because they had to shed so much payroll, meaning they had to get rid of Scott Barlow and his $15 million salary 10 to $15 million salary. They're paying him like a million bucks at 1.8 million or something like that. So it's just getting $1.8 million worth of relief. There you go. That's what that's what my point was. All right. That's what my point was. Who is Jim Barnes? Scragging me. Ooh, I don't know. How about Bobby Locke? Don't know. Oh, are these new, are these guys being drafted by major league baseball? Nope. No. Carry middle cough. Still no? No. Wow. Keep going. You thought you were a genius when it came to the sport of golf. Those are three golfers who made this particular list I'm looking at. About 25 golfers of all time in the history of the sport. I'm surprised you haven't heard of carry middle cough. I've never heard of carry middle cough. Yeah. Do they play in the 1800s because that's a little, no, no, middle cough certainly did not. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know why we were going to go through this. Number five on the list is Walter Hagen. I've heard him. Number four, Bobby Jones. Heard of him. Number three, tiger, greatest golfer of all time. Number three, tiger, no, Rory, number three, Nicholas, no, or Palmer? No, my gosh, um, Phil Mickelson, Ben Hogan, oh, number two, greatest golfer ever. Tiger. Yep. They're going to put Jack Nicholas at number one. They are. Thank you. One more major. So I can't argue it. Yeah. Let's take a break. Come back, uh, Kirk Kenny catching us up on the off-season doings of San Diego State's football team information you must have when we come back to Gwen and Chris. All right, the home run derby of rages on at all of its glory edge of my seat right now. I know. I can barely keep you contained. Alec Baum hit 21 homers, Bobby with juniors on 16 and counting. So he turned it on in that second half. They're the first two contestants. Some of these are just wow. Okay. I don't take away my, my shine. Ooh, don't take away my shine. Bobby with junior almost hit one out the opposite field, which would have been kind of weird. Don't see too many guys. You don't see that at all. All right. Home run derby continues. Uh, Chris. Hello. Matt Scrabby together in the Odyssey Palace studios today on a day when Tony, we only wish you were here. You could have helped save us. And maybe you could have talked me out of the fact that I'm ticked off the jerks and pro far is batting ninth. I'm going to text Tony right now. I'm going to text Tony right now. Are you going to tell him the Chris is like on a rampage about jerks and pro far batting ninth. You know, I don't want to text him and then forget all about it and then him text us back later and be like, I don't care about it anymore, but yeah, you have to, you have to respond immediately. Well, look, by the time he gets asked about it, it's going to be old news. It will be all news. You know, you're going to be mad about this for now. Tony, we needed you just to sit here and hum in awe with us all day. Craig Elston, by the way, it was nice enough to text me the fact that remember we said the Padres had all those five game or four game losing streaks this year. Yes, he texted me too. Right. Um, Padres have had four losing streaks of five games or more. The only other teams that can make that claim are the white socks, the Rockies and the Marlins, the three worst teams in baseball, you don't want to be grouped with them along with the Rangers. Oh, yes. One team. So you're grouped with the Rangers. That's the only saving grace on that one you have. All right, Scrab. What do we got? Well, chronicles are at the top of the hour. Yes. Bobby with Jr. Still up. What does he just get to stay up all night? No, he had bonus balls. My goodness. He had 20 though. All right. Let's move on. Let's go. Next guy. Come on. They need to they need to let it take. I mean, they got a fill almost two or three hours of TV. Oh, they feel it. All right. This thing lasts all into the night. It does last pretty long. I got. Please. If if there was another all-star game here in San Diego, I would be there for the homerun Derby. You know you would be there too. I would not. I don't like it. I don't get it. I don't like the homerun Derby. You know what? I'll play the homerun Derby in the video game. It's really fun. That sounds more fun. That sounds kind of the homerun Derby in the video game. Yes. I'm actually getting to swing the imaginary bat. You know what? Chris has been asking me for weeks now to bring in my PS5 so we can play some video games. I hate to tell you. I think this would be the week to bring it in. I think this is the week to bring it in to be honest. Let me take some cracks at it. I may bring it in. Who knows? Should I bring him lucky again? Lucky the dog. Lucky the dog. Nice appearance last week. Better than Kylie the dog's appearance. Lucky. Kylie was barking and making a general nuisance. What did your wife Lori say about her appearance? She loved the picture I sent that I sent to you. Oh, I should send that out to everyone. Yeah, the two dogs looking out the window. That was actually very cute. Yes, it was cute. She did not like the fact that I didn't think Kylie's appearance went well. Or I didn't like that fact. She thought her appearance should have gone well and I said it just didn't. It wasn't, you know, anyone's fault. She just didn't go well. I think she was just kind of confused. Yeah. She was a little bit, I know that you need it. It's okay. You know what? It was fun. I know we had her, you know. We did it right. I'm going to go and tweet that picture real quick. Oh yeah, tweet this picture too. It's very good. the two dogs looking out the window at Matt Scrabie, M-A-T-T-S-K-R-A-M-A-T-T-S-K-R-A-M-A-T-T-S-K-R-A-M-A-T-T-S-K-R-A-M-A-T-T-S-K-R-A-M-A-T-T-S-K-R-A-M-A-T-T-S-K-R-A-M-A-T-T-S-K-R-A-M-A-T-S-K-R-A-M-A-T-S-K-R-A-M-A-T-T-S-K-R-A-M-A-T-S-K-R-A-M-A-T-S-K-R-A-M-A-T- Is there anybody worried at all? I mean, it really seems like Sean Lewis has been a home run from day one. I think everybody's excited. In fact, I saw him this morning. He went out and took a surfing lesson. So it was a lot of fun seeing him try and get up on the board. And just the way I've really enjoyed watching how much he's embraced being here. He's always got a smile on his face. He's always positive. He's always excited. Well, and that's the way to certainly remain, I guess, until the season starts. Let's just finish up a look at last season. I mean, I had to go through this again. I was reminded of that in Nevada game. Why? I don't know why, Kirk. The reason is, is I wanted to see, you know, was it really as bad as everybody seems to think it was? And, you know, I think the low point, obviously, was at six nothing game that they lost in Nevada. You know, they had some close losses in there, Utah State, Colorado State, where, you know, close games, Boise State, they, you know, I thought they were going to win that game. And they end up losing by three. So with a couple of, you know, a couple of bounces of the ball, it could have been a little better than four and eight, but people don't seem to remember that. They seem to remember it being, you know, a real drag on the excitement level of Aztec football. You know, it's funny, the two years before that, when they went 12 and two, it's like they got every bounce. And then last season, they didn't get any bounce. Yeah. And that's what gets you to four and eight. But, you know, you mentioned in the battle, that's a really bad loss and it's one thing not to have, you know, a night or 10 with season, but when you have a game where you don't even score and other games or where your fans just are not entertained, that's a problem. Yeah. No, that seemed to be the big, the big issue last year. And so, you know, that's why let's go back now to the hiring of Sean Lewis. Now that we've had a little time to kind of think about it, what do you think it was about Sean Lewis, the Drew J.D. Wicker and San Diego State to him, ultimately? Offense. That's a good, that's a good thing to have in your back pocket. All right. We employ you on this show as a guest to have longer than one word answers. Okay. Very good. Thank you. All right. Scraven, what's the next question for this guy? Well, you know, well, all the stuff he brought, I mean, from people watching him at a little bit of Colorado before that it can't stay, you know, offense. And what's neat is they, you know, they call it Aztec fast. For some reason everybody thinks passing, but they had a balanced year at Kent State a couple of years back where they ran it as much as they threw it. And I think they, they just did things to find out what the defense was giving them. And they moved the ball around and they got it up the field and they scored touchdowns. And that's what a lot of the state fans are, are thirsting for again. Yeah. Kirk, we've talked about it the last few years and it's been said to us that the offense is going to be more exciting. The offense is going to be more explosive. The offense is going to score points and then we, we haven't really seen that, but it does seem like Sean Lewis is completely tearing down the offense and rebuilding it. Is there in college football, any sort of like gelling period that we need to be aware of or have they been working on this so long, they should have the offense down already? Well, it's funny you bring that up because, and something I need to address early on in a prison campus, you know, they came here and talking Aztec fast and generating excitement. And I said, how long does it really take for that offense to click? And a couple of people have told me it takes about four or five games into the second season. So they really have to kind of thread the needle between, yeah, well, yeah, they have to kind of thread the needle between generating excitement, but also kind of tamping down expectations. And so it'll be interesting to see how that kind of falls into place. Yeah. I mean, I mean, look, Texas A&M commerce, the first game, you know, I mean, that's, that's one. But I mean, it gets pretty interesting, pretty quickly, right? I mean, Oregon State is legit Cal during the ACC. So they're in the ACC that just drives me crazy central Michigan. Okay. But Washington State on this schedule, you're at Wyoming, you're at Boise this year. It is fair to right at UNLV and they're coming off their best season and years and years. So, you know, it is fair to not really maybe expect them to have a ton of wins in the first season. So they're, you're right. That's going to be interesting how they, they kind of bring everybody along and keep people happy, you know, because I mean losing 42 to 40 is fun the first two or three times. But after a while, they even that gets old, just ask Tom craft and people like that back in the day. Although, I think they were to the point where some people in the building were like, you know what, if we lost 48 45, I think the fans would still be happy because they saw the ball thrown all over the place and it wasn't as much about, well, you know, because the ethics had 12 straight winning seasons and which was a school record and people kind of became complacent and they started complaining about the bowl games they're going to not, you know, before that, they probably went 25 years and went to two or three bowl games. So just getting to a bowl game was a big deal, but then, you know, like anything, people get accustomed to something and they want more. Kirk Haney is with us. Kirk, I'm looking at the first depth chart that came out for San Diego State football. And I know this is always, you know, subject to change between now and six weeks, it lists AJ Duffy, the sophomore red shirt transfer as the number one quarterback, Daniel Neil, the prized freshman recruit as the number two. Well, wait a sec, if you look to the right on the depth chart, it says or capital letters. Uh huh. But right now it's still, it's still about, still very much up for grabs then between those two guys. Okay. Yeah. All right. Yeah. That's an or. That's an or. All right. So you got, you got to keep those oars in mind. And running back at Keenan Christian or Marquez Cooper. And he's another transfer Cooper is. Yeah. And he's an erupting one. He'd been with Sean Lewis and Ed Kent State for three years and he comes in as the active career rushing leader. So he'll be interesting to watch is a former golden flash. Stop showing off your screen over there. Overall, they have seven newcomers expected to start on offense out of 11. I think it's fair that we mentioned that to kind of back up what you were saying that you don't have to give these guys a little bit of time right before they start whipping people 51 to seven. Well, it's crazy between the, you know, with the portal the last couple years and then the coaching change. So they started spring practice on March 12 between then and now they had 30 guys leave the program and they had it through the portal. They had it like a dozen come back. And so there's just so much transition on the, on the two deep they have, I think two dozen guys who were not on the team last year and nine guys who were not on the team in the spring. So it's not even in the spring. Wow. Correct. Yeah. I mean, it's just crazy. But that's how that's how it is around college football now, I think. Well, we had Dale Sean Staley in here last week talking to us and I asked them about the transfer portal and whether or not they think it's kind of crazier if they like it. And he, he brought up a different opinion that I'd never really heard before. And he, he said he had to go to Northern Iowa because he wasn't recruited as heavily as he wanted. But then he felt like he was a better player than what, you know, the program of Northern Iowa, you know, would help him get to the NFL. So he went to San Diego State is, is, is that something you think is going to help the Aztecs? A lot of these guys that are coming that already have college experience. I mean, seems like these guys are ready to go now and play now. Yeah, I would hope so. The biggest thing I've been kind of keeping my eye on is I believe they lost nine starters to power five teams this past year. And they brought in guys who, who showed some promise, but maybe like they got a tight end Jude Wolf from USC who had had a lot of injury issues there, but now he's healthy and he could really produce a couple other guys maybe are from smaller schools who were producing there and want a bigger stage. And so that's what they've got. So, you know, those are the kind of guys they're going to have to find that they're not going to get guys from power fives who put up a thousand yards rushing. They're going to stay at that level. So, and, you know, what I'm getting at is, are they going to be a feeder school, like a lot of the group of fives now or is there going to be some way where they can hang on to guys? So you're almost saying that San Diego State could act in a way for some players like Northern Iowa acted for Dale Sean Staley. Right. I think it's exactly last week at the Mountain West meetings, they called it, they called the Mountain West a pipeline conference and a lot of the, a lot of the conferences. It's kind of offensive. It is a bit offensive. But, I mean, you know, it's not a true, yeah, it's not a true and you kind of acknowledge you are who you are and be able to acknowledge that and find out how to best take advantage of that. Boise State was picked to win this thing for the umpteenth time in a row. We know that that doesn't always happen. I mean, look, you know, if you want to last year, the Aztecs have won a bunch of times. What is it about Boise State that, you know, makes them the media darling every year, Kirk? I think they get bonus points for the blue curve, yeah, that's like the tiebreaker. Um, well, I think that's 11 straight years, they've been picked up when they've won it for those times. Yeah, so that's not very good, but they, I mean, they, they usually have a pretty good team coming back and sometimes it's a little bit of usual suspects being picked and this year was really crazy. Well, because of the portal movement, there's so many new players. So I think a lot of people ended up picking on based on past performance and yeah, uh, you know, you know, these can be really interesting to me, they had their best year in 30 years, but then their quarterback gets, um, poached by Georgia, but before he gets to Georgia, USC outbid for him. So he's, that's where he is. I love that. I love that. It's really, uh, it's sick. So I know the Colorado state coach was upset. I'm sure you saw this Kirk that Kansas state, he says offered 600 grand to his quarterback to leave and go to Kansas state and I thought, well, what's illegal about that? I mean, you can do whatever the, I mean college football is such a, there's so much toothpaste all over the, all over the sink now that it doesn't seem like there's any rules anywhere on these guys. Well, the only thing I think he might have been irritated by is that offer came before he was in the portal not after. Uh huh. Okay. Well, and so I could still see some irritation with that, but it's, ooh, I mean, the best phrase they use wild wild west and that's kind of what it is. It's just the where we are has gotten ahead of the rules as far as, you know, but the word I always heard him or phrase that I always heard him using last year was guardrails. I mean, kind of it's just out of control until they kind of think it through a little bit better, but I don't know, I mean, can you make better rules now and bring some control to it? That'll be interesting to see, you know, if and when that happens, yeah, well, I don't want to ask this question, but I'm not going to ask this question anyway, but I got it over the weekend and they were talking about coach Sean Lewis and it was kind of sort of the conversation about feeder leagues. And if the Mount West conference is a feeder conference, would that apply to the head coach as well? Because this person asked me, I mean, aren't we just waiting for this guy to leave? And I said, I honestly don't know and I hope not, but are we waiting for this guy to leave? I think it just depends how much he enjoyed searching today. I hope he enjoyed it a lot, though. Did he stand up, by the way? He did get up and I got film him. So, yeah, he had a blast doing that and, you know, those are the kind of things that maybe will help keep somebody. But ultimately, I think a lot of these guys, like almost anybody in life, they want to test themselves against the best and I can't blame them for maybe wanting to do that. Well, I think the best way to do that is go 11 and 1, win the conference. Maybe if they did it this year, might be a little early, but let's just dream. 11 and 1, win the conference, get into the college football playoff. And then guess what? You could test yourself against the best right then and there. So, yeah, there you go. That would be the winner at the top. Kirk, always a pleasure. And I want to say thank you to Kirk Kenny, by the way, because he, you know, he guided me around Tory Pines on my first round there. Oh, yeah. Kirk, we haven't talked to you about that. How did Chris play? Did he play as well as he's? He told me? The moment he hit the first four fairways, I believe. Wow, that's not easy on the south course, you guys started on well hole 17. That's yeah, it's not an easy, fair way to hit. He had kind of a Brian Downing stance there, but he kind of opened up his stance so that he could. He's playing his slice. He was aiming well left and he was putting it right down the middle. I was impressed by that. I was aiming as covering for my slice. The problem with playing for a slice is that sometimes you just don't slice it because when you do that, it just goes, yeah, eight miles left. Very good. But it worked for him. I think it wasn't until late in the round that I think he finally hit one that didn't slice. So kept it out of the canyon. That was good. I had a lot of fun. A lot of fun. I did not keep it out of the sand traps though. Kirk knows that I was in on the beach all day long. They gave him some sunscreen, so he was okay. You and Sean Lewis always on the beach. There you go. Kirk, thanks for the time. It's always great catching up to you. We'll talk to you. We get a little closer to this season, but thanks for the summer update. Yep. All right. Kirk Kenny. Oh, is that it? That's it. Wow. Wow, he says. You really want this hour coming up? Yeah. You go on it? Scravey Chronicles? I just reinvigorated myself. All right. They're coming up next. The world according to Matt Scravey is only he can record it. The home run derby just keeps Sean rolling. And this is pretty much the same thing over and over again for like the next three hours. Okay. Your time of bashing the derby is up. Oh no, tomorrow I'll come on and I'll bash the results of the derby. You can't. It's over. We're back again tomorrow at two o'clock. We can't wait. We're being with us on Gwyn and Chris. Kirk Kenny from the San Diego Union Tribune joins us. Kirk, have you heard anything other than people around this program saying that they are really excited? Is there anybody worried at all? I mean, it really seems like, you know, Sean Lewis has been a home run from day one. I think everybody's excited. In fact, I saw him this morning. He went out and took a surfing lesson. So it was a lot of fun seeing him try and get up on the board. Just the way I've really enjoyed watching how much he's embraced being here, he's always got a smile on his face. He's always positive. He's always excited. Well, and that's the way to certainly remain, I guess, until the season starts. Let's just let's just finish up a look at last season. I mean, I had to go through this again. I was reminded of that in a vat again. Why? Well, I don't know why, Kirk. The reason is, is I wanted to see, you know, was it really as bad as everybody seems to think it was. And, you know, I think the low point, obviously, was at six-nothing game that they lost in Nevada.
