  Speaker 1: Munos and Randia Rose Arena, And to quote our friend
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Andres Munos, if he gets to face cal Raleigh tonight,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: maybe Cal will forget about his stuff. Yeah yeah, probably
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Pubbly not Mooney.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Just so you know, he has been catching his bullpen
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably not gonna matter. Cal could forget what
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: pitches he throws. I guess there's a chance.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because Cal doesn't prepare a loot.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Hey, friend, what does it you throw again? Curveball?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Knuckleball?
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Oh no, you throw cheese and a nasty slider. That's right,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: I remembered you turn it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: If only I'm prepared myself more to face Moon.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, I don't want those two to face each other
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I don't I want either of them to be sad.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I don't want to see the bat. So WBC tonight,

  Speaker 1: to a two and one start. Selection Sunday is in
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: six days. Yes, the frends he meets the madness this week.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: We are that close to the NCAA A tournament. Big
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: ten tournament gets started on Tuesday. The UB will play
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday. I was a little confused by that. Yeah,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the tournament starts on Tuesday. UDUB plays Wednesday at eleven
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: thirty against USC Gonzag is in action tonight against Oregon State,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: finally playing their first WCC tournament game, even though that
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: tournament's about a week old. The Zags will be taking
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: on the Beavers tonight at six o'clock. Max Crosby was
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: traded over the weekend. If you didn't hear, he goes
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to the Baltimore Ravens exchange for two first round picks.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: The Ravens do own the fourteenth overall pick in the draft,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and this morning already a lot of activity to a
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: tongue of Baila has officially been released by the Miami Dolphins.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: They're gonna eat one hundred million dollars in dead cap
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: just to get him out of the building. The Dolphins
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: also traded away veteran Minka Fitzpatrick to the Los Angeles
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Chargers in exchange for a seventh round pick, and then,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: most recently, the Green Bay Packers have sent Rashawon Gary,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: a very good player may be overpriced, to the Dallas
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Cowboys in exchange for a fourth round selection in the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven NFL Draft. So Rashan Gary rejoining Kenny Clark,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: his old packer teammate in Dallas, and so it's underway.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Here we go, just a couple hours short of the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: tampering period getting underway, and yet all sorts of information
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to try to glean from our Seahawks insider, Greg Bell.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Let's do it with the bell tolls.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: It must be seven o'clock and time for twelfth Man
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: News with Greg Bell, brought to you by Coppola Diamond
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: Collection Prosecco Chris Sparkly with bright fruit flavors to make
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: every toast shine Game Day Bubbles only with Coppola Diamond Forseecco.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Now with twelfth Man News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: and Butt.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: All right, are you ready for this? I mean, did
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: you get good sleep over the weekend? Did you make
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: sure you hydrated? Greg? Did you carb up last night
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to give you all sorts of artificial sugar injury and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: energy this morning? What'd you do? Are you ready?
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I told Ashley, it's just another Monday for me, finally
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: home for a weekend. So yeah, here we go a
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: lot of misinformation, a lot of at this point. Some
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: of it is just let's just see what happens, right,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: instead of just trying to chase every rumor that goes
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: back and forth, but there was one concrete thing that
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: happened this week that will affect the Seahawks down the
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: road for years, and that was the new deal at
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: cornerback and Trent McDuffie getting traded to the Rams and
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: now becoming the highest paid corner at four years, one
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: hundred and twenty four million dollars. Because you can bet
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: that's where Devin Witherspoon's agents are going to start. They
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: want to be at the top of the cornerback market
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: and now that market is thirty one million dollars a year.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: These deals that get done when you see these numbers,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: so why is it thirty one million dollars on average
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: a year agents comp other deals and Sauce Gardner was
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: the number one cornerback at thirty point five million dollars
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: a year and that's why it became thirty one million
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: a year on average. One hundred million guaranteed is the
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: new bar and the Seahawks John Schneider now know where
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Devin Witherspoon's going to be coming from in the summer.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: That is the background to a lot of what's going
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: to happen this week. Because while not all that money
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: would be charged in year one, and Weatherspoon would be
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: entering the final year of his rookie deal here this year.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: The Seahawks have to plan that way for both him
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: and Ford Smith and Jig. But Jackson Smith and jigwas
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: deal in the same situation will get extended. So when
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: you see the number of sixty million dollars in cap
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: space that the Seahawks have, that's not how John Schneider
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: sees it. He sees Smith and jigwis cost. That's a
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: lump that's gonna go here. Here's Witherspoon that'll go here.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Here's the slush fun we're gonna keep so we can
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: make a Leonard Williams Rashid Shaheed type trade in the
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: middle of the season. That's gonna go here, And all
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: of a sudden they don't have top ten cap space
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: in the league anymore. That's just the context that the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Seahawks are thinking when this week begins.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean coming into free agency here, as we
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: were leading up to the tampering period. I mean, you
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: think about Ken Walker. We spend a lot of time
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: with him, Rashid Jaheed and all these guys that are
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: free agents, and any one of them, you kind of
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: don't feel any feeling of desperation if they end up leaving.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Is there anything inside the building that if all of
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: them are gone, that you're like, well, that's a significant
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: piece if you add them all.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Together, it is.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: But of course they look at it individually at how
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: they would backfill those losses, running back being the most
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: vexing one. If they don't have both Kenneth Walker hence
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: actual armainnad to begin next season, that's an issue. But
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: it would surprise me if all six of those top
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: six aren't back. And I've been talking about Kobe Bryant
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: and it looks like his market is somewhat said at
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: safety Cam Curll re signing with the Rams reportedly for
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: three years thirty six million dollars. I'm not saying that
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant's going to get twelve million a year, but
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: that is now the market and how much below that
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks would be willing to offer and that Bryant
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: would be willing to keep for what it's worth. For
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: people who love Instagram and Kobe Bryant last night put
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: a picture of himself and side by side a picture
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: of John Schneider pointing into the camera with no context
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: other than those two pictures.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Read that, Jamail.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: I think Kobe Bryant is a strong candidate to be back,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: and I know how much Mike McDonald loves him and
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: thinks he is perfectly fitting for their defense. So I
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: don't think they're going to go oh for six in
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: those top six.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Bucky greg bellis with us our Seahawks inside of joining
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: us here on Tampa Fest twenty twenty six as we
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: get the latest information that we can possibly grab from
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: our Seahawks insider before the frenzy gets underway. All right,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: so Max Crosby didn't end up a Seahawk. How invested
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: were they in trying to get him?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Well, we talked about this all last week. They didn't
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: have the weapons to get into that derby. They didn't
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: have the draft capital. And if the Graders, I'm not
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: gonna say if they were asking for two first rounds,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: they were, so they got from Baltimore. The Seahawks didn't
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: have two first round picks, and even the one first
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: round pick they had is at the bottom of the
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: first round. Why would the Raiders trade with the team
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: that has the very last pick of the first round.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: That's not a lot of value to them. They could
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: trade with any other team in the league and have
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: a higher first round pick than with Seattle, and the
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Seahawks only had four picks overall in this draft. They
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: weren't going to mortgage a future first round pick on
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: top of their only first round pick this year, which
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: is at the bottom of the round. Anyway, all that
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: to say, would have taken a starter or two for
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks to enter that derby and be a competitor
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: for it. So I never really, I stated at the time,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: I never saw the Seahawks as a viable option for
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: that because they don't have the draft capital and the
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: first round picks that the Raiders wanted.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Okay, so if then it's looking like and I'm with
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: you on the idea of you know, Devin Witherspoon, Jackson
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Smith and jig but that's going to take a giant chunk.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Do you do you forecast any individual position? I mean
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: that they are going to go out there and spend
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: any of that excess stuff after those couple big re
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: signings to kind of bolster this thing, because yeah, you're
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl champs and you're going to lose some
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: people to free agency because of the price going up,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: but there's also I mean, everybody else is trying to
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: improve as well. You don't want to just try to
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: hold serve. I wouldn't imagine is there any position in
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: particular that you'd expect them to spend some of those
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: extra ducts.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: On offensive defensive line depth, defensive line depth in particular
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: veteran defensive linemen. They will probably sign a running back.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: But all these signings I'm projecting that you're asking me
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: about will come into second and third waves. I don't
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: expect them to be in the next few days. And
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: we've talked about this. The one time in the last
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: decade that John Schneider has splashed in the first day
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: of free agency was Draymond Jones, and that was an
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: abject failure. Fifty one million dollars down the drain. He's
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: not gonna do that again. He doesn't have to do
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: that again. They're not reloading having to go buy players
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: because they stink. They're the Super Bowl champions, have just
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: won the Super Bowl four weeks ago. They're pretty good,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: so they don't need to go jump in just because
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: they have some money to spend and they won't. That's
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: not how Schnyder does it. You'll see it. I said
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: it last week. The teams that spend all the money today, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Just step back and look at what those teams did
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: in the last couple of years. What were their records?
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: How close were they to the super Bowl? They were
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: probably going to be as close as you and I
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: are to win the super Bowl.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Well, the Patriots got to the super Bowl last year.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: They were the biggest spenders last offseason. I tend to
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: agree with you. I think that that is the general rule.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: But there are exceptions, and the Patriots are a glaring one.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, there are exceptions. That's not how mu John Schneider
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: does it. I agree, and yeah, exactly. And this is
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: the way. So this time of year, everyone's frenzied about
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: and the NFL creates this and they want everyone to
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: be fired them. They want us to be talking about
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: at seven in the morning on a Tuesday and March
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: from Monday in March. This is the way it's manufactured
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: in the offseason. By and large, the Seahawks don't play
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: this way, and they haven't built their rosters this way.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: So it happens every year, and I'm going to be
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: on your show this week talking to why they signed
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: this guy. They could have had him for that money,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: and they could have, but they didn't forecast that because
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: that's not how they've budgeted their plan. Their budget of
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: their plan is going to be the second and third
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: wave of free agency. There are a few draft picks
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: they have, resigning some of their own guys, maybe it
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: won't be all six of them, and then saving money
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: to make the deals that we talked about, plus make
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: a splash deal in the middle of the season when
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: they're close to competing, and that doesn't play in March.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: So my point is the Seahawks are not usually March players,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: and we're in March. So I get the angst the
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: team that fans see that they had this much money
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: to spend its top ten cap space. It's just not
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: that easy, and that's just not how Snyder does it.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: And I guess said sixteen seventeen offseasons, his track record
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: has spoken for itself and he's won two Super Bowls.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Do it this way, I would agree, Greg, But I mean,
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: I'm wondering if just on the other side of the coin.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: There's a good conversation to be had, like if you
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: were sitting down having a beverage with John Schneider of Okay,
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: you don't one beautiful thing about winning the Super Bowl
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: is you don't have a lot of holes to film.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: You came out as the best team in the NFL.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Now you have some people leaving through free agency. Everybody's
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: getting a year older. The idea of you can do
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: it through the second wave or third wave of free agency,
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: or you could do a big move and then sprinkle
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: in some stuff later on in free agency. I mean,
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Trey Henderson to me, the idea of when we were
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: talking about Max Crosby, the idea of, well, you take
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: something that was a strength, and that is the defense
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: in general, but you take and you add an elite
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: pass rusher to the outside. All of a sudden, it
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: makes it a feared defense and absolutely a defense that
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: people are going to be terrified of it. I mean,
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: is there any relevance to that. I mean, I agree
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: that that's the way John Schneider usually plays, and he's like, no,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to go get in that because it
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: didn't work out last time I did it, and I
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: can throw more spaghetti at the wall, and more stuff's
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: going to end up sticking. But is there any argument
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: to the idea of maybe going out there and making
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: some sort of splashy move. Could you see how that
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: could possibly be a night avenue that they might be
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: interested in?
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Well, again, I think if you said down had a beverage,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: as you say with John Snyder, he'd say, can you
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: believe yeah? Yeah, yeah, I think he would say, can
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: you believe so and so got this much money? We're
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: never going to pay that. Can you believe that Max
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Crosby got two first round picks from the Ravens? We
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: weren't going to pay that. That's what the conversation is
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: in the building. They're going, I can't believe that the
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: market has gone to this. And every year and he
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: admits this. Every year, there's a guy or to that
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: they think we're to get, say twelve minute a year,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: who gets eighteen and they just all the building and go, well,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: we could do that. They don't make a big splash
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: move just to make a splash move, just because they
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: want to be able to say they were involved early
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: the Draymond Jones deal was because they were really berefted
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: dead rusher, and then since then they drafted Derek Collin
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: boy Mofi and they fixed that for a lot cheaper. Again,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: the younger cheaper is the way buy and large. As
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Chuck said, they are exceptions, but younger cheaper is how
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: the name of the game to win in the NFL.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: This is the wrong time of year for younger and cheaper.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: This week is the opposite of younger and cheaper. It's
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: older and expensive, and the Seahawks buying large. Stay out
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: of that. Now. Is there an argument be made this
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: year that they should be splashing, I'd say this is
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: the one year they absolutely should not. They just won
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: the Super Bowl four weeks ago. They're gonna they are
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: really gonna not want to overpay just because they won
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. They are not gonna pay a premium,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: even on their own free agents, simply because the rest
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: of the league values a Seahawks player more than he
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: did a month ago. That's really what's going on with
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Kenneth Walker and Rashid Shaheed. If they don't win the
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl, nobody's talking about eighteen million a year for
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Rashid Shaheed. If Kenneth Walker wasn't the Super Bowl MVT.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: No one's talking about him making fourteen million a year
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: and he probably can come back to The Seahawks had
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: a much stronger chance of him had happening, And Schnyder
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: doesn't want to get into that. He's like, fine, if
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: that's what the artificial inflation of the market's going to be,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: he ain't playing And that takes some fiscal responsibility, and
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: that takes some sticking to your guns, but it also
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: takes being in the same job for sixteen years. He's
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: rare in the league. There aren't a lot of maybe
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: none now I can't think. Maybe Mickey Loomis with the
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Saints has been in the job as long as Schneider has,
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: and so he's got a lot of cachet build up
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: inside his organization of doing what he's doing. If you're
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: a GM who just got there, maybe you make the
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: splash moves when you don't have to because you feel
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: like you have to do this or have to do that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: You don't have a track record. He does, and he's
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: committed to sticking to it.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: In our last minute here, Greg Gino Smith, when they
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: made the decision to trade him last year and to
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: go with Sam Darnold. No, I mean yeah, I did
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: they ever, ever, ever think that it would end up
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: being this big of a victory for them.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: This reminds me of the Russell Wilson trade because they
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: didn't expect this to be this big a deal for
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: They didn't think the Broncos would be giving him a
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: top five pick that became Devin Witherspoon. Let's not forget
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Devin Witherspoon is a Seahawk and three time Pro bowler
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: because of the Russell Wilson trade. That. No, no, no, no,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: they did not. They did not think that the Raiders
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: would swallow fifty nine million dollars and lose thirteen games
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: and Gino Smith would throw seventeen interceptions and Sam Darnal
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: would lead him to the Super Bow. No, that did not.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: But man, did they do? They look smart for that deal, now,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: don't they?
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Oh? My god?
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: And yeah, it's like, well, of course we did that.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that that has worked out. That's even worked
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: out better than the Russell Wilson trade because they won
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: the Super Bowl with it. But yeah, now you're talking
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: about Gino Smith taking some perhaps veteran minimum deal, which,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: by the way, to a Tunguoiola getting cut. This is
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: another quarterback on top of Kaymer Murray who's going to
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: play on a veteran minimum contract somewhere while someone else
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: pays the freight. Just like the Steelers got Russell Wilson
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: a couple of years ago and the Broncos paid all
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: that guaranteed money to him. They have such dead money
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: both Murray and Toungue Iola that he's gonna there. A
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: team is going to sign each of those two players
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: simply because they can only pay him at one point
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: three million dollars a veteran minimum while someone else pays
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: the rest of the money. And that will, in turn
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: let those two quarterbacks be picky on where they want
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: to go play. We'll see about the Vikings that seem
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: to be an obvious destination for any of those three quarterbacks,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: including Gino Smith. But John Schneider has to sit back
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: and just go Wow, that worked out pretty well.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: For us, I will say. I would say, so, all right, well,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: don't you know, don't leave town, you know, keep your
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: phone out, well bug you, anything happens, but thank you

• 21:11
  Speaker 4: right into the sports book. There's a really comfy booth
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: right by the bar. I figured it's a good place
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: to wake up. You know, you have a mimosa before
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: I head into works.
• 21:20

• 21:38
  Speaker 1: an ata boy.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I don't know that's a fair trade a.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Lot more than money. Actually, yeah it is.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: And a tussle ye hair tussle, yeah, yep, fills yep.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: So to Leylup Resort Casino. We'll see the Creek Casino again.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: We'll we have some reminders for you in the next
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: couple of days as to what we are going to launch,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: so make sure you who are tuned in for that.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: All right, we got to talk about this thing. So
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Gino Smith is no longer going to be a Raider,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: as we just discussed with Greg Bell. I mean, I
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: don't know if a move could have turned out better.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: There's no way they could have envisioned that this would
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: turn out as successful as it was. I mean, it
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: felt like, I don't know, maybe maybe if we did
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: have that drink with John Schneider and his red Solo cup,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: he would tell us I knew all along played all
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: of you. I knew Geno was gonna go belly up,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and I knew Sam Darnold was a top five quarterback.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Ginger Jesus. Yeah, but it did feel, at least at
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the time, that that was a difficult decision for them
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: to make. To move on from Gino Smith, to trade
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: him away without having a sure without having a quarterback.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, they got rid of Geno before they signed Sam.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: And then you're just hoping you can get the day
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: you want.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd already moved DK, and then you move Geno
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Smith and really didn't have a sure thing at quarterback
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: to replace him. And then the free agent signing of
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. So it felt to me at the time
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: that it wasn't the easiest decision in the world, but
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: that the organization has decided this is the best decision
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: for us right now. And then for it to work
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: out the way that it did. You win the Super
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Bowl and Geno Smith doesn't even make it to the
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: tampering period of the following year and not traded, just cut,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: we will eat the salary, get out of Vegas, and
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: don't ever come back. I mean, I mean, you couldn't
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: have had a more extreme result.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: No, And yet I mean that I have a hard
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: time feeling like the tie between Pete Carroll and Gino Smith.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: And it worked out I mean to some degree in
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: the on the heels of John Schneider and probably Pete
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: Carroll saying enough with Russell right him wanting to cook
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: and he's not a chef. He shouldn't be cooking. He
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: should just be doing what we told him to do.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: That led us to a Super Bowl at one point
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: in time. Moving on from that and having Gino step in,
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: and it wasn't like it was all horrible, but it wasn't.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: It was far from great. It was far from something
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: you're like, I can build my franchise around that. But
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if John Schneider and Pete Carroll
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: over a Red Solo Cup had a couple disagreements about that,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: and it was probably part of the all Right, we
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: just got to go in Separateara, we're not on the
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: same page anymore.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: We were for a long time.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: It was great, it was fun, but give me my
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Red Solo Cup back and you're out of here and
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: you can take Gino with you. I don't think that
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: they would have seen it as going from where they
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: were to first. And I guarantee if Pete Carroll didn't
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: think I'm taking this job and I'm bringing Gino with
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: me and we're going to go from mediocrity in Seattle
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: to the worst team in the NFL.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Nobody necessarily saw that.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: But I think that I don't think that John Schneider
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: would be even He maybe wouldn't boast about it, but
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: I think in close quarters he would probably be. Yeah,
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: I knew Gino Smith was not going to take us
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: where we wanted to go.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I guarantee it. He was a lot more clear cut
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: on the idea than he led us to believe. To
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: protect Gino, yes, and to protect the trade value of Gino,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: but he couldn't have thought that it was this overwhelming.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: He couldn't have thought, we're going to be the best
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: team in the league next year and they're going to
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: be the worst.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: No, I don't think anyone would have predicted that in
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: a I don't think. I think if Pete would have
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: known that, he wouldn't have taken the job. And I
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: do think that Pete, his sentimentality over the years, maybe
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: has increased in his decision making.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: I mean, look, he goes to Vegas and he brings Gino,
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: Tyler Lockett, Jamal Adams. I mean, he's clearly got his
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: you know, his affinity for his players, and he's always
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: had that. But I do think that at times it
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: can be clouding as judgment, and I would think that
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: that seemed like maybe the case.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I think he got way too involved in the personnel.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I think he got way too heavy handed with you
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: know what, John, I respect your opinion, but we're going
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: to do this. Yeah, I have the hammer, I have hand.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: We're going to do this, and I think the I
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: think way too many of those things were happening in
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years with those guys, and that's
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: what led to the coup. That's what led to the overthrow.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: And Gino wasn't done making headlines last weekend. I'm sure
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: most people saw this. But for whatever reason, and maybe
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: it was sagging market share, you know, maybe it was
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: that Wendy's is desperate, the fast food once fast food giant,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: is desperate for business. But for whatever reason, some pr person,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: probably a Raider fan, decided, I'm going to take a
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: cheap shot at Gino Smith, and so Wendy's tweets out
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: in case things don't work out in free agency, we're
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: looking for a chief tasting officer and tweeted it directly
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: to Gino Smith. Uncalled for ridiculous. I mean, why on
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: earth would that happen? If you weren't just looking for
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: some cheap publicity.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: Well, and that's the thing is they had posted they
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: are actually hiring a chief tasting officer. It's a job
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: that they have, like somebody to do social media stuff
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: of their food and they're going to pay them one
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: hundred thousand dollars a year. And they have like this
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: whole thing going right now, this promo you can apply
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: online till March thirtieth and you can be this person.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: So I think that is exactly what they're doing.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: They're like, let's promote the job we've been trying to
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: get people to apply for.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Right and we'll do it through you know, social media means.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: And so we'll call out somebody that just got released
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: from the National Football League. Well, Gino then spent the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: rest of his day obviously stewing over this, angry about it,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: and got in a teak for tat argument on social
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: media with Wendy's, sending out like tweets about how their
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: sales had plunged in the last quarter and taking shots
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: at them himself and how bad their food was and
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: everything else.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, come on, man, yeah, come on, you look
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: like the better person if you don't respond, of course
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: you do.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you realize how small you look by responding?
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Be the joke? It's okay, nobody was taking it that. Yeah,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: you got you, you were the joke. You were the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: butt of the joke from from Wendy's for goodness sake,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: and a few people took shots at you. But you've
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: made it a thousand times worse by arguing with them online.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: And now I don't know. I mean, I think he's
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: gonna find a job somewhere, but Gino's taking the wrong turn. Man,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: he has just taken the wrong turn. He kind of
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: redeemed his entire name here in Seattle and then just
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: has been given it away ever since.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: It's like writing everyone back exactly.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're you're keeping receipts, are writing back At this point,
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: I don't understand it either. I mean, it's the day
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: and age. You're right, uncalled for for Wendy's to necessarily
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: go there. But it's just the way that it is.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: People are, they're looking for clicks, they're looking for engagements.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: They will do whatever, say whatever, whether it hurts your
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: feelings or not. And yet when it's part of your way,
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: I mean It's not like Gino Smith hasn't used social
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: media to his own benefit to bolster his resurgence. When
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: he came here, he most certainly was, Yeah, the tide
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: is flowing in my direction right now. I'm gonna ride
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: this wave. Well, when it's not flowing in your direction.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: When you basically go from you get released from a
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: team and they go on to win the super Bowl
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: and you go to the worst and then you get
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: released from that team, you're gonna get some some arrows
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: slung your way. Just let it glance off your You're
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: a bazillionaire. Just be rich, and who cares what Wendy says? Instead,
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: you make yourself look like a kid, or just you
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: make a joke back I had and make you gotta.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Pay me more than now? What am I catching strays for?
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know, just something that shows that you've got
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a sense of humor versus being
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the most sensitive person this side of Kevin Durant.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: I would have had them someone.
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: I would have said, who can make a meme of
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: me in a Wendy's outfit? And I would have posted
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: it to be the joke to show your whatever you're
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: doing is not going to phase me. But instead he
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: did that, and then everybody else started posting memes of
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: him in a Wendy's outfit.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, just tweet out I got your
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: big and juicy, right, you know, I don't know.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, square meat, round bun. It doesn't make sense, right, Yeah, but.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: He ended up looking petty and silly and defensive all
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: weekend long, and and then took far more grief for
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: doing it that way than he did for the cheap
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: shot joke that Wendy's told at his expense.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, not a good look.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Not a good look, not a good look at all.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: All right. Uh, Sam would have never done it, Hey,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: keep running that in your face. But Sam Donold would
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: have been above that, thank you.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: Probably would have applied for the job and said, yeah,
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: I could add that to my resume.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Probably would have taken them back to the top of
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: the burger world. Probably, Yeah, just by involving himself in it.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't mean rubbed salt in the wound.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: But Sam would have handled that a lot better. Yeah,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: probably like a champion, Like a champ, all right. Coming
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: up next, the Kraken did beat the deadline, but Barely
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. They got a
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: deal done. They did trade for Bobby McMahon, Me and
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Bobby McMahon. That was the deal with the Toronto Maple
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Leafs in exchange for a second rounder in twenty twenty
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: seven and a fourth rounder in twenty twenty six for
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: a rental player in Bobby McMahon from the Maple Leafs,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: but a guy that has scored nineteen goals so far
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: this season, which would place him second on the Kraken
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: roster in terms of goal scored. Only Jordan Everley has
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: more goals than what Bobby McMahon has scored this season
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: in the NHL. And so they did add an offensive peace. Yeah,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a rental for the rest of
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the year. I don't know if it's seismically changing anything
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: for the cracking, but at least they did something. At
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: least they added some offense to a team that I
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: think really desperately needed it. Yeah.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know for sure either, And it gives them
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: an opportunity to re sign him and make it a
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: long term situation. They had the draft capital, and so
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: they went out and did it. I mean, I like it.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna sit here and act like I know
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: who Bobby McMahon is and how much of an impact
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: he can make, But you just said it. I mean,
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: what he's done this season would put him second on
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: goals on this cracking team. And so if it gives
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: you a boost, We've seen this team is capable of
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: playing gritty hockey and competing with anybody, and then there's
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: times that they fall into this. They have a hard
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: time getting shots on goal and scoring enough. Then you're
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: asking your defense and you're you're keeper to keep the
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: other team to zero. If you had just end up
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: getting a slight boost offensively, I think it could be
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: a big boost overall as far as the team goes.
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: And you didn't have to give up much for him either,
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: I didn't. I mean, you know, you didn't have to
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: give up Shane Wright or something you know that we've
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: been talking about as possibilities. So some draft picks and
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: you're good.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I guess what people are saying
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: is that it's a little more than what he was
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: worth to just rent this player. But you know what,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I do believe they had to make a gesture of
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: trying to add to this offense. I said it all
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: last week, do something to improve this team this year,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: because you don't want to end up at the end
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: of the season having missed the playoffs by a point
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: or two and look back and you did nothing at
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: the trading deadline. And it really did feel, I mean
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: that entire day, like they weren't going to do anything.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: So to add a guy that's on pace to score
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: well over twenty goals this year, it's something and it
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: should improve this hockey team for this upcoming year. Doesn't
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: sound like he's going to be a center the way
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: that he was with Toronto. Sounds like they're going to
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: slide him out to the wing, and maybe that is
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: to take advantage of the scoring abilities. I mean, only
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: thirteen assists this year, even though he has nineteen goals
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: this year, So it sounds like they're going to use
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: and we don't know which line they'll use him on,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: but it sounds like they're going to use him more
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: on the wing than they are as a centerman. I'm
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: down with that.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, just just get some somebody that's going to
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: take some more shots on goal and hopefully put a
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: few of them in there.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I mean I read a couple of different things.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Most of them are coming out somewhere around a B grade,
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: B plus grade for the Kraken, that's maybe that's where
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: they were feeling like they were wanting to be. If
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: you were going to make an a trade at this point,
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: then we're probably having a conversation about who they gave up.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: And if it was a Shane Wright, now all of
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: a sudden, we're wondering, who were you going to get
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: for that type of a youngster that you might be
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: part of your program moving forward, you know, for the
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: for the foreseeable future. So to me, I like it,
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: and hopefully he does fit in here well and likes
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: it here in Seattle and they can do something long
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: term wise.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Mustachie old man by choice? Yeah, yeah, six two two fifteen,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: so bigger, big dude certainly, and a bit of a
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: goal scorer. And so we'll see, we'll see what kind
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: of a difference that he can.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Welcome him on my fantasy team, yeah the way, Yeah,
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: welcome McMahon.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: You're my man. Yeah, man, you waited for him your
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: entire life. I've waited for my entire season. It was
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: sort of as it was sort of like an arranged marriage,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: and you didn't know what she was going to look like, right, Yeah,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: but you've been waiting all your long, wondering, and now
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: you know, here she is, and I like that.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Mustache, Connor McDavid or Bobby McMahon.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or nothing at all or nothing at all. Yeah,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: it could have been nothing at all. So it was
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: looking like yeah, right, so it's not it's more than nothing.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: You were sitting there at the midnight hour, like behind
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: the sheet. You didn't know what was gonna He could
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: have been a goat.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: He was gonna have to make love out of nothing
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: If it was a goat, I would have not picked
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: him up. I would have I would have chosen I
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: don't know, Myers or some one of these other youngsters.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: But instead I'm taking this guy.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Could have been a scratcher's lottery take behind that curtain.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe I would have taken that. Yeah, but you end
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: up with Bobby McMahon out of it. So now we
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: got McCann and McMahon. We almost have to make a
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: line out of this, right, I don't know who else
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: we're gonna add, Yeah, the mcline, Is there anybody else?
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: That we could.
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: Add else's name mcabery ms Martin McFly.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Does he play Marty McFly? I don't think plays.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Hoverboard instead of have to skate because he's very.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: If he turned into teen wolf, then maybe you know, now.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: It could be Yeah, like Martin McFly doesn't seem like
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: it's going to be his density, all right. Coming up
• 36:58
