It's an early Friday. It's better to be there than the breakfast bar That's true. That's true. I thought about doing it there, but then you know, everybody looking, you know, over there waffles going what the hell I wouldn't I wouldn't mind for you to act Itralia is nice. I think it's's underrated city, isn't it? I love it. You got the outlets, you got, you know, you got everything you need there, great high school, great history with Dtlt shrimp Coach Brown, you got the ballpark, you got the indoor facility. I mean yes. That's a great area. They got a great McMinnemans down there in Centralia Great one, that old ones sensational You know in their rooms, how they heat their rooms at that Mc Mineman's, it's actually actual wood It's w Yeah. literally Yeahah, they burn it like underneath the hotel or something. because every room smells like you're in a campfire. Or they have some type of system they heatated with like some campfire smell. I don't know Well, I'll tell you the other thing I would suggest for people to do is to play golf at Riverside Golf Club No one ever talks about Riverside Golf Club. We went there, played nine holes H yesterday Twilight rate. fifteen dollars, It included a push cart at dinner at the rooftop deck afterwards, fantastic You should do. I was going to say if you want some great people watching, just you know, head up the road a little bit to the Great Wolf Lodge and head over to the water farar U it's I mean, it's a free tattoo show at the water park. It's just good stuff there I'll go there and sit there for hours What do you think the percentage of calf tattoos and then the big coolers on wheels that there are at the Great Wolf Lodge Good times. I've been there. I've done it. Everybody's done it. How many times have you been? I've been there a while? I've never done it. is as crazy as everybody says it is Yeah I had fun. I've been there three times. We spent the night one time, got the bunk beds and you know, it just it's a party though. you're expecting to sleep there. It just kids running up and down the halls all night long. There's there's no, there's no sleeping. You are you have given up sleep for the weekend. And then so you've been there three times in the one visit I was there three different times The wave pool was closed because of an accident For some kid. Mm It happens, it happens. Jem, you're at the LQinte, you're brought to a by who again Three, two one. Bates roofing. You know, Brad Soorstenson and his wife, Sarah, they've been in business a long time.

Are they ceb? they celebr anniversary itself Yeah, do they have an anniversary? Where are they going? Jim?ard. They are. This is really cool what Brad and Sarah Thorsstenson are doing this weekend. You want to take a guess where they're spending the weekend to celebrate their twenty seventh anniversary? I I know Washington Egan If I know those two, they like to head east. I'm going to say Republic, Curlw, maybe Othello, but you know what? Why not just stop at Ellensburg for a campus Uota Burger And and the scary Conico Egan, you nailed it. How'd you nail it? They're actually going to Ellensburg. Now not many people spend their anniversaries in Ellensburg, but Brad has a great idea. Every year they go to a random. town in western Washington or Eastern Washington and this year it's going be Ellensburg. And I'm hoping like crazy that Sarah's not listening to this this morning because it's supposed to be a surprise. Well, perfect There you go She's probably checked in every week to see you're on to see if you get the ad right and But if if if I if if I told my wife we're celebrating our thirtieth in Ellensburg as well. No Chr Chris, if you're Sarah Gorsstensen, are you just like going I mean she's going to be surprised whether she knows she's going to Ellensburg or not and she's probably going thinking's going be Eensburg is underrated, though. It's just like send to be more surprised He's taking her to Ellensburg Have you been downtown Ellensburg or? I've been to Ellensburg, but I don't know. it doesn't scream anniversary to me No, I think it's a cool idea. Don't be ripping one of my friend I'm not ripping. Yeah. you can actually you get a nice. What? Yeah, you get a good dinner, you can go all out for dinner. a good resturant. I guess that's fair point. Fair point. Yeah. Is there like a wine tasting room down in Mllensburg? Probably.

I hope I'm right on this and hoping he has not passed, but I thought he had somebody No, somebody told me he just celebrated his one hundredth birthday. Puck, I don't know if you can check that out on the other I'll check it out for you because I was under the impression that he had passed. but okay Chris, he's turned on That was one of the old of best basketball camps the best.

I wished a friend of mine a happy birthday, a seventieth birthday. And I knew him back in Pullman and you know, lost touch with him and all that. Well, I wished him a happy seventieth birthday. and then one of his mutual friends contacted me and said that he died eight years ago Yeah, I felt terrible about that. but you know, I I like D already is still alive. I got a text. Somebody said he's just celebrated his hundredth, but I'm not well. let's see appppears that he is still alive A Yeah Current residence, he currently lives in Concord, California. Okay, so that's accurate with my born in nineteen twenty six in Seattle, Washington He just did it he did an interview The Yakama Herald Republic. I love the Yakama Herald Republic. Yeah U in twenty twenty three. Cught up with them at ninety six Okay so good six word thing So could it turn one hundred? huh Wow Legend Good call there, Regan Thank you. Thank you. dont I don't know what to think Jim right now though I'm going to I don't know if I'll make it fifty four watching this Mariners's team, my friend. That's a transition, Chris. J. You see that That's a transition right into the l sparinarrows. Wow, that was perfect. Laurie, that's a great transition. Thank you, Laurie Well, what's going on with Brian Wu? Why can't Brian W pitch on the road? What the hell happen to that? Wh Why is it so hard for him on the road this year doesn't even know. He doesn't even know based on the comments I read from him, you know, post game. I mean, he He's tired of sucking. I like that comment that he had. I did enjoy that. Vs good If he doesn't have an explanation for it, I don't know who would, but he's trying to find the answers. I don't know why it would make such a difference. I know that moile to Pitrard Park but it shouldn't make that much of a difference on the road to go from five ninetine three on the road to two point something at home. Who was it last year? Egan? Was it Castillile last year? Who had the crazy splits last year? Rome and On the road? Yeah. I think it was the rock. This been a even though they're three and three this road trip, weve Colt Emerson has had back issues Brash out Cooper Chriswell out Brian Woo getting rocked. I mean, it's been a it's been a Three more games to go on the road. Well, hopefully they can get home healthy. We can'tose can't lose anybody else in the bllped. We're bringing in guys that I guys, you, I study this team go to spring training. We're bringing in guys that I don't even know. I'm like I don't even remember him at that spring training. Do you know this Michael Rucker? didid you ever do a prep zone report on thirty two year old Grad of Auburn Riverside Michael Rucker I never did, but I did see that puck and I remember the name back in the day. This is how old I am because I feel like I've covered all these kids, but I do remember the name cool story there, but just another one that if if I would have known that sppring training, we would have had a a piece on them, but they're just bringing in so many different pictures right now. Yeah It's hard to figure out. I mean They're treading water okay, though. What are they? Three and four on the trip Th I think three three three three and three on the trip. No wait. Yeah. No, they got three more to go. I think Jim's right. Three and four Two and two with Baltimore in one and two in Detroit. So Jim is right. Three and four Now with three left against Washington. Are you as outraged as I am for Ryan Bliss Go ahead, Jim Ryan Bliss was a key figure in the Mariners winning the two games that they won in Baltimore with his defensive prowess out there. I realize he he went one for eight at the plate. I understand that. And he gave a hell of a post game interview to Brad Adam. God, he was candid. He was just, he was awesome And yet He comes up Monday. they send him down Wednesday. like Who'd they send him down for? Oh, Miles master Bony, like he's a frickin answer, you know, like hes some great shakes as a player. Oh, but wait, but wait, he's a left handed hitter and you're facing three right handed pitchers in Washington. Boy, that's a brilliant team over there at the Mariners Count the Analyst Department. God, what a bunch of bullshit, man. If I'man If I'm Ryan Bliss, I'm going to the poto saying, Hey, man, get me out of this Mickey Mouse shit. I'm sick of it, okay All right, am I wrong? am I wrong? Am I wr You about that You are one hundred percent correct that he was he was vital for those two wins. You are correct The play he makes where he gets the second base, not not many other guys on that on that entire organization can make that play, Jim. I've always been a big fan of Ryan Bliss. If this team is going to make a playoff push, I don't want to see Masterboni. I'm not sure I want to see Bliss. I don't want to see wisdom. So I don't want to see Rf Snyder, but there's plenty of guys coming. I mean Who do you want to see Chris? Well, I'm going to ask you guys, what else does Cal Ry need to do? He went deep again last night. He's hit more balls in a tightwad hill than Jose Conko and Mark Mcuire did combined in a in a three game span. What else do we need from them? getet them out of plane. getet them to the team. I don't. I mean, it's great for Takoma. They're selling out the place. I mean, just another night last night, but what else does he need to do guys or he's going to get there shortly. he'll be there right when they come home All right. I just why not there? Why not get them out of playing for this series? I mean findine that Yeah. I don't think yeah, I'm with you. I don't really need to see anything more from him. He can He can play. He's got three home runs in three games. I'm laughing with the Ryan Bliss thing is because I swear to God. it's like the backup quarterback in this down The people and I and I like Ryan Bliss, but there is this obsession with Ryan Bliss in this to. Is really Iis if he breathed differently, Oh, did you see the way that he breathed over there? Oh my God Did talk you didid you see his interview Yeah, I mean, he's a great guy. He's but he's a for A player. That's just what he is. He's always going to be that guy. Are we sure We're sure. Yes. How can we be sure after forty seven major League games? We sure because he would have been up here. He would have won a job. He would have someone would have he just he would have made the team. Plus he's little. we pull for little guys. I love Ryan Bliss, but my God He gets one hit. I've got to listen Oh he should be playing every day. Really? Okay the point being Okay, Puck the point being I agree with you. I understand the isn't that great, but Miles master Bon that much better than him He there Wait a minute, wait a minute, excuse me, position versatility, Jim. Yeah'm with you listen J. Come on, you don't understand baseball. Jeez, Jim. You know he's a lefty. his warars through his roof. If you take his OPS with his OBS and throw his w b, his wa is w who putting on the barge are ficking we're notar. We're not there yet. We're not there the barge Be I mean, I don't know how many people love to come up to me goes, Hey E the woba right now for Luke Railly is just through the room. We're not to the barge. We'll get to the barge and What is the woba long?, I don't know that one. I don't know. They'reen on base. Women on base average Yeah, women on base average would be a great. They should put a they should put a stat up there. How what's their percentage on the road that they bag women? No that's Julio Julio just returned road trip and Julio was batting nine eighty eight. They do have that girl He had a woman in every single city. H Brad goes up to get went Brad goes up to. Hey you went for four for four, Not talk about the game, but last night that room, we saw how active your room was. What was it like tellell me about Stacy. What was she like? G me a You may have your first at bat. That's called Rer. Rader WOTR Women on the road. That's what Lader Lader. I'm going to write that down you again. Hey, don't steal this for the ultimate extravagaza show. You gota, buddy. whatever you need. Yeah. No. Jim, back to your point I love Ryan Bliss. I've always enjoyed interviewing him, but I'm a little bit with You know what? he should have stay, he did a great job, but Master Bononey and Bliss both I'd be happier if they were both in Tacoma. I'll just say that for the for for the team. I would to Jim's larger point. He just doesn't like all the platoons. right That's your issue It's just God, thanks for coming and see you later. It's one of those things, you know. And I understand it's a business and And maybe Master Bony will light it up and do well and justify being there But I don't I've never looked at Miles Master Bononey as being a huge upgrade to Ryan Bliss. No vice versa for probably right. And listen. I mean, Ryan Bliss won a job. He was the starting second baseman for the team Last year. Yeah. Tilly got hurt It opened the door for Cole Young Yeah Is he part of the Kelnet trade Bliss. Bliss Oh, I don't know.'re you're you're president of the Biss fan cllub. I thought you would know that. I don't know. Yeah You know, and I'm retracting my statements to this road trip why we're talking about Bliss and Masterboni. It's not just Cole Emerson's back. It's it's that Friday night game JP Crawford taking over the hand. you know we lose all over the place. Yeah Yeah, It's been a rough road trip. It fine wrapping up with Washington get home and you'll be okay. No, you'll be fine. Crawford will get healthy. Galals joining the team soon. Donovan is on the way. I think if I'm concerned about anybody and I will go on this show and both you made fun of me like three years ago when I mentioned the Matt Brash and how important he is to this team. but that one that one worries me a little bit. The Brash inang. I't rem making I't remember making fun of you It was a long time ago I I was I made fun of you for Cal Raleigh coming up to Seattleport. Well I know this one was like that we made fun of on that run the Whittenberg finding the penny. Oh a penny you know, that was all this year. I'm going back like three to four years guys.

Do you think broadcasters should get a ring No, in fact in fact, you know, Dave Wyerman, I used to work with him. No, they shouldn't get a ring. He thought it was ridiculous that, you know, that he was going to get a ring because he said I nothing had nothing to do with it I'm okay. I'm okay with the PR group in the work the group that works there at they're working there seven days a week on the Seahawks. I'm fine with that, but Outside of that, I don't know. Okay, listen, I'm going I'm not even a big seeahwks fan. I'm not even a little seeahwks fan. you hate this but I'm going wherever I sign I'm going to sign up to try and buy one of these rings. No, you're not. And mean no wait a minute. wit sign up. You're looking we don't have the money We can do a We can do a go F mee No, you know You should write a substack colum about it after the trying to get people to go to Palermo to play golf. You know, along those lines yesterday in Portland, just to afford a cup of coffee, I had to transfer money from draft Kings into my checkank. I did. I did. Where did you go to How much was the cup of coffee? Well, I don't know. you know, I get those oat milk lattays, you know, they're likeregon. You didn't I just a whole though. You know I did the Bank of America thing and opened it up and I thought, Oh shit, I'm minus one hundred fifty eight. So I transferred, you know you didn'traft Dutch bros, You were in Oregon. You didn't go Dutch bros No, anyway. Okay one of the Okay, follow along with me here, which you just a second. Okay, I'm not a seeahawks fan. I had nothing to do with them winning the Super Bowl. so I should not be getting a ring. But can you imagine if you had one of these rings, if you had one of those seventy six rings I would turn around so fast and go on Facebook Marketplace sure. eBay. I'd turn that sixteen thousand into how much? What do you think it'd be? fifty thousand? You could probably sure. Yeah, once they're sold, you could probably take it up. Why don't All three of us, all three of us put in what? five thousand two hundred? I don't have that money. I don't have. five thousand three hundred do each And let's buy a ring. fif thousand three hundred each. I feel like Chris and I could do it, but then you'd be like, yeah,' get to it. I'll get to it. You you guys. I know you have so many Puckx posse members compared to Jim Moore, the go to guy substack. No, I' tell you what You get better paying for your buck with me at my substack than you do with this bullshit Px posse. Yeah. I take a fence to that, sir. Do you like do you like my idea Well, I it's not bad. I think we got to um I I think we need to see how many fans are you thinkking they're going to sell those things out? Yes. I think can you have a good relationship with Pearson still puckking I doubt. I have a great relationship with them. I have a horrible relationship with him, but talk to Pearson and see if you can buy one of those rings somehow. Maybe Maybe we can get a media discount. You don't it's not do the CARs. I'll give you the website It's the guy that did it. The guy in Beverly Hills. It's it's like to buy it It's a Jason U of BH of Beverly Hills. So it's Jason OF bh dot com Okay, we're done. I'm gonna get my name on the list. Okay.. And if I've chosen, will you guys go? No third, one, third, one, third? I'll ask. Why not? I don't five thousand two hundred dollars. Find it somewhere. My last question on the rings then I want to move on to something else. Yeah. Do you think that Jodie Where do you think she got the diamonds from? Do you think she got them from the same place Chris in Africa where she stole the Tusks Oh boy. we're ask Jim that question. I don't knowim what do you think? didid she have towels there too? She probably had didid she have towels for the players? I didn't see players with towels. Do you think she walked around the party last night? We're clary Barner come over here one last time for I have to sell the team. We we are close to a new owner, gentlemen. We're close to a new owner. I was over there We were I was over there on Tuesday and it was like down I was there like one of the first ones there and place was just tight. I had black black escalades all over the place. So going to be interesting. That was a busy, busy day. You saw a lot of people running around. So the latest gu is the guy that owns like the Chelsea team, right Yeah So we'll see. they were they were probably there on Tuesday. Hey spepeaking of I want to play something for you. Egan if you know the answer to this just donon't say it that way. Okay This is more for Jim I'm going to play something for you. I want you to tell me who this person is, okay If you can identify this person I come from Argentina and then from Europe or from England and u We are so competitive and That is in our blood. And also knowing that It's going to be difficult, but I se our mentality is about to win every single game and to compete with not fears and U Thinking in in the wee can beat any team Do you know who that is? Yeah, it's Rinenaldo Egan, do you know who that is I'm got be honest. My gut is it's like a French player or a French coach. Slvia I believe. Steve Jungle This is good this is that is that Ricky. This is gonna to fit into where I want to go with this. Okay. So that right there, that guy you just listened to and watched is the head coach of the United States National Soccer teeam. Wow. his name is Mauricio Pach yourino and I'm probably butchering that. I'm to I'm used to seeing them like in a sweatsuit jog joggers on. He's Italian background but born in Argentina, spent his entire life in Europe He has coached all the major clubs in Europe and he is the new U. S. national soccer coach. So this I brought this up and I don't know much about soccer and so people are going to watch listen. I' like you're an idiot, whichich is true I brought this up with stretch this week on the spports pit go by actually go spend five dollars and you can go watch and listen to the sports bitit pucksports dot com And he is our soccer guru expert And I brought this up with him They've been trying to figure out why they can't win over here, right? So they go out and they hire this guy I know I'm going to sound amm I going to be like an ugly American here Why isn't the US National coach fucking American? It's our national team. Why is he from Argentina Well, another country that does this. I'm going to name you right now, Puck as somebody that covers the Olympics as your official Puck Sports Olympic Bureau reporter. How many times do we watch basketball in the Olympic games and we see other countries hiring US coaches because the US owns basketball. We know basketball Obviously, I think it's proven over the years that we don't know soccer. Yes, it is the world's most popular sport, not here in America. I mean, you got to deal with the NFL here in America in baseball and MBA. So they go outside and I have no problem with it. If you can't find a coach in this country that knows the game as well as somebody does in Italy or France. I'm going out for you I got a name for you. Brian Schmetzer. Yeah, Brian Schmzer Yeah, I't be with us national coach because he would be awesome someone that understands What it They're not they not they're never going to have the top players, Jim. ever ever, ever ever, the top players in Europe Okay so they need to have the whyy don't we try and get some foreign players and you know, get them fake up Well they do have two foreign players on their team that just have an ounce of American blood in them one of the kids. Well the guys lives in the Netherlands, it's on the frreaking And they're his Yeah like the Olympics a reverse like they may not make They may not make the French team or the Italian team right. They got a got was There was the woman this year that got criticized. She was American. She couldn't make the She couldnt make the ski team, the the Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And then she went to China, right? Yeah, ye. She went to China, trained there. I know Oh. I'm not too I just think that Brian Schmetzer would be a guy that could could like a herb Brooks like guy that could somehow squeeze Pide and talent out of guys that we know they aren't talented as what Spain has or the French have and get them to believe in U S. soccer. Like when you when this guy Mauricio Poncinti Punentino talks about American pride, they're going to look at them like, you don'tve here. You live in Argentina. You live in London. You don't know anything about America. It just I don't get it. I think it's weird Don't you like that they're kind of trying something different though they o, I've done all this and it never works It's not the first like non U S coach to coach them. It never works I mean, yeah, I think Smetzer would be great at Yeah. I mean, he would be phenomenal, but I think outside of that, I just don't think Puck's I mean there's a lot more quality coaches, you know, unfortunately in Europe right now. So but That's where we're at. I agree. I mean, yeah, you want to coach that knows a little something about going to Yellowstone Park hanging out at Buck s to fill up the station wagon, you know, knows the town of Ellensburg, but yeah yeah. I may been to Ellensburg before. Maybe knows Ellensburg. And I' takingen his wife to Ellensburg. Oh my God and Setzer would have so much Setzer would have so much fun with this man. He would I just again, I don't know where he ranks Jim and Chris where he ranks among all these coaches and international soccer, probablybably not high or, you know, and maybe a European team would have hired him But I know what he's done here. The hell of a coach he's a motivator and the tactics, I think the tactics, I think they all are probably pretty equal on tactics. That's just me in a blanket statement kind about all coaches, but it's the motivation factor. And I watch that I don't know anything about soccer nor am I a huge fan of it Like I don't you know, set time out to go watch it When I hear that guy talk, I can't get enough of listen to him talk I'd run through a wall for Brian Schmetzer, when I't hear him speak No, I'm with you, buddy. I'm with you. I don' assume you some pride in your country, you too. Jesus Well, I'm just saying it happens. I mean, I' just soking. You see all these coaches from the NBA going sell sell their soul coaching, you know, Czechia or coaching Croatia You know? so The only thing would the only thing I would suggest to people is if they're not into the World Cup or soccer like you and me, Puck I got into it when I was assciedentist story to watch Brazil play the Netherlands in a World Cup a long time ago. and I went to a Brazilian restaurant at six in the morning And God, it was a blast. Oh if you can find I don't know. Brazil win it again, go to a Brazilian restaurant and watch a game or there's there Where were the Netherlands hanged out or Oh they're fun. they're fun, Jim. You'll have a I'm doing that. Yeah, I'll watch this st. when it's on I'ming. it's great shhoot, I'm gonna know what? I'm going to be in Spain at the end of the month while the World Cup's going on Spain and you taking another vacation Another vacation. Yes, I.y, Jim. That's why he doesn't have five Ks.

Tuesdays it's a sports bitit with Matt Stretch Johnson. We do it a full it's a full worldorld Cup preview I just clear out for stretch. We get more into the Ryan Schmetzer team USA coach and Again, I just I think it's weird And I think it's weird for every countries. If other countries go hire a U. S an American to coach the Nigerian team, its just, it's weird to me. kindind of it just goes against the ethos of the whole thing. You're there to represent your country coach of this team. He's a hell of a I mean he's obviously a hell of a great coach but he's not doesnesn't live here, not from here Odd I signed up for Brian Schmetzer Wednesdays is inside pitch with Ryan Dav great discussion this week about You know, where they're going to go with that bllpin And what options do they have internally and externally And also we had that discussion on Thursday show, Jim Dukat. You know, he said like right now teams are not willing to trade any bull pin arms. They're going to need at least two more You know, we even before Brash got injured This is the same scenario they were in a year ago, by the way is they needed to add an arm Remember they miss out on the who's the guy? Where did he go? What was the big dude that went did he go to the twins Right? Why am I blanking on that guy's name And now They may have to add a second one because of Matt Brash I don't want to be glass half empty. But I really just did not like tone and how it was said from Dan Wilson about Matt Brash saying, hey this is going to be a little bit longer. than it was the first time. first time I think it miss what twenty days or so And this is going to take u going to be a while Carlos Vargas was injured last year, same last dring last year still not back What if there's a worry with Matt Brash if he's back at all be fingers crossed, but I think youve got to start thinking about Re getting aggressive now there with their bullpit and they've got optionsough they can ditch the six man rotation. They can finally rip the band aid off it and maybe some of these guys like it, mayaybe some don't. Brian Wu kind of refused to answer that question after the game on Thursday, but maybe it bothers him Maybe it bothers George Kirby Maybe they don't like having that extra rest. Maybe they like being on a on a different routine that they once had They could just take one of those guys that are in the rotation and throw them in the bullpin, whether that's Louis Castillo, Bryce Miller or whatever. They could go that route They could solve it if they wanted to. If they wanted to address it internally It doesn't appear to be anybody down at AAA that they could Now is the AoubleA option. Could they bring up Kat Anderson to do it I was texting with Davisha this morning about it It's something that I know Mitch and I talked about, Mitche talked about on his podcast with Steve Phillips. I brought it up to Jim Duquette on ours. W they consider Kate Anderson in the bullpin and the general rule of thumb because it's they all about how many innings are they going to get? and they want to go over a certain amount of where they were a year ago And again, this is not a hard number, but just discussing back and forth with Divish Their philosophy for the Marers is gener generally around thirty innings more cuse me previous year Well, the previous year att LSUE through one hundred and nineteen So you can kind of spitball around, I don't know, one hundred and forty, hundred forty five. And he currently is at forty nine right now So you're looking at what almost a hundred more innings So they could shorten some of his starts If you were to see him, you probably wouldn't see him in July. I mean, a bullpen option is an option here. Where do you want him to get his innings of work? Would you want him to get it up here? or continue to do it in Arkansas. So that is an internal option for them as well. Theory they could do the same thing with Ryan Sloan if they wanted to. I don't think that would stunt the growth of both of them as starters, but I also understand that their role their future For both of them is as starters Those would be internal options Other than that, I mean I mean you're running out right now. Just a lot they are weathering a lot of injuries right now. So we discuss a lot of that on Wednesday's inside pitch Thursday, KJ Art, off course myself Mitch Levy. he's back from Europe. We were all over the map discussing just Ms and everything, we generally don't know where that's going So those are three bonus shows for you.

But there was a gesture today that I saw comoming out of Kansas. from the University of Kansas Jayahawk Band And it was really, really cool give this a listen. So a very cool moment by the University of Kansas Marching Band. that was The Algerian National song. And they played it. They learned their national anthem as the Lawrence, Kansas is serving as Algeria's official team base camp for the tournament. So as they were coming out for their training They were welcome to the field, some fans by the University of Kansas playing their national anthem Again, so much that's going on in this country in this world of humanity, how we treat each other We all treat each other. This was just a beautiful I think message to reaffirm that there's still so much good in so many people And it was on display in Lawrence, Kansas day of how welcoming we can be. And that was a beautiful moment by the students well done by the University of Kansas And anyone that's a jhak alumi should be very, very Proud of of how you handled that and how you treated that national team from Algeria.
