- 0:54Speaker 1: We're ramping up to the WBC. We are also ramping
- 0:58Speaker 1: up to the tampering period, which starts on Monday, the
- 1:03Speaker 1: forty eight hours prior to the NFL Free agency period
- 1:07Speaker 1: getting underway. But let's face it, Tampafest is where all

- 1:24Speaker 1: Yeah, So we'll be getting our tampon come on Monday.
- 1:27Speaker 4: And I shouldn't say it that way.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Were welcome you should you say it? Yeah, Tampfest.
- 1:33Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with it. And I don't think Rich
- 1:34Speaker 4: wants me to go with it. Where I'm gonna go
- 1:36Speaker 4: with it. If you guys are gonna get your tampon,
- 1:39Speaker 4: little worries.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Stay right around there.
- 1:41Speaker 4: You think, Yeah, they may not take it further. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:45Speaker 4: don't go into you know, like the tampon jokes. You're saying,
- 1:49Speaker 4: just stay where the tamp get near.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Tamp on agency jokes. I don't understand that they're not
- 1:57Speaker 1: like tamp If you say tamp.
- 1:58Speaker 5: This is a very important period in the NFL season.
- 2:01Speaker 1: You did it.
- 2:02Speaker 2: You did it.
- 2:02Speaker 3: What I was telling you, what's going on.
- 2:04Speaker 1: It's one of the most important periods of the entire season,
- 2:07Speaker 1: if not the most, very strong for some people.
- 2:10Speaker 4: Yeah, it's very strong for some and not as strong
- 2:13Speaker 4: for others.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Turbulent for everybody.
- 2:15Speaker 3: Really, Yeah, you got to be careful.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Uh.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Anyway, and you don't want to skip it, no, or
- 2:21Speaker 1: maybe you do.
- 2:22Speaker 3: That's an entirely other maybe you do. Bigger problem.
- 2:26Speaker 1: It's not a problem, it's less you plan for it exactly. Yeah. Well,
- 2:31Speaker 1: we're going to provide a in NFL Free agency preview,
- 2:34Speaker 1: one position at the time throughout the course of the week.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Yesterday we did running back. So today we take a
- 2:39Speaker 1: look at the wide receivers and we're going to play
- 2:41Speaker 1: a game of check yes or no. Uh here today
- 2:44Speaker 1: And here's here's a little bit why Because I always
- 2:48Speaker 1: end up giving you guys like five different options when
- 2:51Speaker 1: we play one of these games. I'm not going to today, Chris,
- 2:54Speaker 1: check yes or no. Christ tell me if this is
- 2:56Speaker 1: something you're interested in or not. And we'll start with
- 2:58Speaker 1: our own guy at wide receiver, Rashid Shaheed, twenty eight
- 3:02Speaker 1: years old. We know the impact that he made here.
- 3:05Speaker 1: He turned the Rams game around. He got the playoffs
- 3:09Speaker 1: started in better fashion than anyone has ever got a
- 3:12Speaker 1: team started in the playoffs. He was tremendous and special
- 3:18Speaker 1: teams first and foremost. He was effective as a runner,
- 3:22Speaker 1: getting some jet sweeps around the edge, and he did
- 3:26Speaker 1: catch some passes, but wasn't overly productive in the pass
- 3:30Speaker 1: game for the Seahawks. But certainly they traded some draft
- 3:35Speaker 1: compensation for him at the trading deadline. He says he
- 3:39Speaker 1: likes being here. They say they like having him. But
- 3:43Speaker 1: according to Spotrak and I don't know how accurate spo
- 3:46Speaker 1: track is, but I need something. I need some sort
- 3:48Speaker 1: of reference source, they say he's going to command a
- 3:51Speaker 1: fourteen million dollar per year salary. And when you already
- 3:54Speaker 1: have Tory Horton, who does a lot of the same
- 3:57Speaker 1: things and was doing them in the pass game a
- 4:00Speaker 1: better clip than what Shahed ended up doing the matt
- 4:03Speaker 1: you already got him in house. Well, this ends up
- 4:07Speaker 1: being maybe not just a cut and dry decision as
- 4:10Speaker 1: to whether or not you want to pay the extra
- 4:12Speaker 1: money to keep Rashid Shahed in a Seahawk uniform. So
- 4:17Speaker 1: Bucky check yes or no on Rashid Shahed.
- 4:22Speaker 4: Yes, even though I don't know necessarily if I think
- 4:25Speaker 4: of him as that big of it. But then again,
- 4:27Speaker 4: I mean, I guess fourteen million bucks a year is
- 4:30Speaker 4: not premium wide receivers. I'm close to premium wide resus
- 4:33Speaker 4: only half of what a premium wide receiver makes now.
- 4:36Speaker 1: But it is your third receiver.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, And you already have something in Tory Horton,
- 4:40Speaker 4: who before he got hurt was doing some big things.
- 4:42Speaker 4: But I mean what he did does in the in
- 4:45Speaker 4: the return game. I mean he he was the catalyst
- 4:48Speaker 4: for that come from behind win against the Rams, and
- 4:51Speaker 4: who knows how the season goes if you don't win
- 4:54Speaker 4: that game. I mean there's a lot of sliding doors
- 4:57Speaker 4: that could happen there. I would say yes, but that's
- 5:00Speaker 4: just because I think he brings something to the table.
- 5:03Speaker 4: You need some depth, you do need a third wide receiver,
- 5:05Speaker 4: and times that guy might be thrust into being your
- 5:08Speaker 4: number two guy, Like you know, I think that that's
- 5:12Speaker 4: a high possibility with this team. And yet he also
- 5:17Speaker 4: does things in the return game. So I would say
- 5:18Speaker 4: yes for fourteen million, I would say yes.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Ashley check yes or no.
- 5:21Speaker 3: I'm going with yes. Go really.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's happy here, he's found a spot here,
- 5:26Speaker 5: his teammates really like him. We've talked about how synergetic
- 5:30Speaker 5: this team is, and you keep that chemistry going.
- 5:34Speaker 1: I'm going no on this one. And I do like
- 5:37Speaker 1: a guy. I like keeping a guy that likes being
- 5:39Speaker 1: that loves being here. I mean, I think there is
- 5:42Speaker 1: value to that, and I'm not underestimating the value that
- 5:45Speaker 1: he brought to the team. I just think you can
- 5:48Speaker 1: find something cheaper than fourteen million dollars per year. And
- 5:53Speaker 1: I think Tory Horton brings pretty similar stuff and he's
- 5:56Speaker 1: going to be making basically league minimum for the next
- 5:59Speaker 1: three years. So to me, I think this is money's
- 6:03Speaker 1: better spent somewhere else. And yeah, I want a little
- 6:07Speaker 1: wide receiver depth, but I don't need to pay forteen
- 6:10Speaker 1: million dollars for it. So I'm checking no on Rashid Shahed.
- 6:13Speaker 1: All right, Next one up, Juwan Jennings, because I think
- 6:16Speaker 1: they are going to sign a receiver some to some degree.
- 6:20Speaker 1: That's why we're going through this exercise, whether they keep
- 6:24Speaker 1: if it's Shaheed at Shaheed, but it might be somebody else.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Jean Jennings. Somebody said he's the perfect fit for the Seahawks.
- 6:30Speaker 1: The twenty nine year old receiver from the San Francisco
- 6:33Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. Good player, you'd be taking him away
- 6:37Speaker 1: from San Francisco. But the spoke track evaluation on Jennings
- 6:41Speaker 1: is twenty two million dollars per year for a guy
- 6:45Speaker 1: coming off a fifty five catch season, And the only
- 6:49Speaker 1: reason he was thrust into the wide receiver one position
- 6:52Speaker 1: to begin with was because of all of the debilitating
- 6:55Speaker 1: injuries that the forty nine ers have suffered here in
- 6:58Speaker 1: the last couple of years. And so Juwan Jennings perfect
- 7:03Speaker 1: fit for the Seahawks. Check yes or no.
- 7:06Speaker 4: Hard, no hard, no, no chance. Definitely not even close
- 7:10Speaker 4: to that number. I mean I I he was thrust
- 7:13Speaker 4: into the situation of basically being their number one because
- 7:17Speaker 4: of their injuries, because some guys that got injured there
- 7:19Speaker 4: just didn't you want to play anymore. They just want
- 7:21Speaker 4: to drive by the stadium and not come in and
- 7:24Speaker 4: do their work. He's good, but I mean to get
- 7:28Speaker 4: all of a sudden, it's like if everybody gets hurt
- 7:29Speaker 4: and you're one of the lone guys left to catch
- 7:33Speaker 4: passes and you catch fifty of them for seven hundred yards,
- 7:35Speaker 4: very similar numbers to Rashid Shaheed, who spent half the
- 7:38Speaker 4: season playing with New Orleans who I don't even know.
- 7:41Speaker 4: Did they have a quarterback on the team.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Well, they really liked their quarterback now yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Well,
- 7:46Speaker 1: and he used to be a Eugene Emerald. It's possible,
- 7:49Speaker 1: it's possible.
- 7:50Speaker 4: But I do think that I think that he's crazy
- 7:54Speaker 4: overpriced based on spow Trek. Now, who knows what he'll get,
- 7:57Speaker 4: I just will. I mean, but he's the highest rated
- 8:01Speaker 4: guy free agent wide receiver out there as far as
- 8:05Speaker 4: the what spo Trek thinks his market value is.
- 8:07Speaker 5: And I say, no, Ashley, I don't think at that
- 8:10Speaker 5: price that he's worth it.
- 8:11Speaker 3: I would say no as well.
- 8:11Speaker 5: He had one year where he sniffed a thousand yards
- 8:14Speaker 5: receiving and hasn't come close other than that one, other
- 8:18Speaker 5: than twenty twenty four, I.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Wouldn't give him half that. Yeah, there's no way, I'm
- 8:24Speaker 1: no way. Is he the perfect fit? We don't even
- 8:26Speaker 1: like him?
- 8:26Speaker 3: Well, no, he is a turd.
- 8:28Speaker 1: He's a turd. Yeah, yeah, I don't even like And frankly,
- 8:30Speaker 1: I want forty nine ers to pay him since they're
- 8:33Speaker 1: so that they are stuck with a mediocre number one
- 8:36Speaker 1: wide receiver for the next few years. Yeah, I mean,
- 8:39Speaker 1: that's what I'm rooting for. I'll check yes on that.
- 8:41Speaker 1: For San Francisco, you can you can keep him if
- 8:43Speaker 1: you think so much of him. Turd wrapped in sheep's clothing,
- 8:47Speaker 1: that's what I think he is, all right? Next up,
- 8:51Speaker 1: this guy, this is this is this is tricky. Tyreek
- 8:55Speaker 1: Hill thirty two years old, older than I thought, plans
- 9:00Speaker 1: to play in twenty twenty six. When happy and healthy.
- 9:03Speaker 1: There's no disagreeing with his impact. He had back to
- 9:07Speaker 1: back seventeen hundred yard seasons in twenty twenty two and
- 9:12Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. That's not that long ago. And yet
- 9:15Speaker 1: he is coming off a major injury to his knee.
- 9:20Speaker 1: He dislocated the left knee, tore the ACL and a
- 9:24Speaker 1: few other ligaments in there as well. He and his
- 9:28Speaker 1: agent are saying he will play this year, he will
- 9:31Speaker 1: come back from this injury, and he's already like training,
- 9:35Speaker 1: so he's you know, he's he's They believe he's going
- 9:38Speaker 1: to play this upcoming season. But he is a jerk,
- 9:41Speaker 1: there's no getting around that. And you're gonna possibly add
- 9:44Speaker 1: that to a locker room that is one of the
- 9:47Speaker 1: best we've ever been around. And so Tyreek Hill spoke
- 9:52Speaker 1: track saying sixteen mil per season. I don't know if
- 9:57Speaker 1: anybody's gonna give him that, especially considering he might play
- 10:01Speaker 1: a half a year a quarter of a year. But
- 10:03Speaker 1: if you could have him at the right time, if
- 10:06Speaker 1: you got him for a one year deal in his
- 10:08Speaker 1: year where he's trying to come back from injury and
- 10:10Speaker 1: he's healthy in time for the playoffs, I mean, and
- 10:13Speaker 1: you're pretty confident you can get to the playoffs without him.
- 10:16Speaker 1: I mean, what an asset to unleash on the National
- 10:19Speaker 1: Football League if you could get Tyreek Hill for the
- 10:22Speaker 1: most important quarter of the season at the end of
- 10:25Speaker 1: the year, check yass or no.
- 10:27Speaker 2: Oh.
- 10:27Speaker 4: This is a rough one because the strictly football decision
- 10:31Speaker 4: says yes, the personal part of it says no, don't
- 10:37Speaker 4: bring it in. I believe a lot in chemistry, and
- 10:39Speaker 4: I don't think Tyreek Hill brings a lot to the
- 10:42Speaker 4: table positively to a locker room. But then the flip
- 10:48Speaker 4: side of is the money and then the product productivity.
- 10:51Speaker 4: I think he'll come back and be plenty fast enough
- 10:54Speaker 4: and still shifty enough even. I mean, he could lose
- 10:56Speaker 4: a half step and still be one of the faster
- 10:58Speaker 4: guys in the NFL. And you get him, a guy
- 11:00Speaker 4: that was typically a thirty million dollars a year wide receiver.
- 11:04Speaker 4: You get him for half that and maybe comes in
- 11:06Speaker 4: any place half of the season and he's he could be.
- 11:10Speaker 4: He'll be fresh right coming off of missing plenty of
- 11:13Speaker 4: time with the injury, and coming back he'll be fresh
- 11:15Speaker 4: from the hits. You have no idea what you might
- 11:18Speaker 4: need at that point in time as far as what
- 11:20Speaker 4: your injury situation is going to be. You're paying half
- 11:23Speaker 4: price for a guy that I think could still possibly
- 11:25Speaker 4: go out there and in half a season put up
- 11:28Speaker 4: the same numbers that you would get probably out of
- 11:30Speaker 4: Rashid Shaheed for the same money, and the same numbers
- 11:34Speaker 4: that you would get out of a Jowon Jennings, all
- 11:35Speaker 4: the other guys that you would either play equal to
- 11:37Speaker 4: or more. I think you still get the same out
- 11:38Speaker 4: of him even in just a half a season.
- 11:41Speaker 3: I'd say no, And it's because.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Did you even answer I.
- 11:45Speaker 4: I don't think I did.
- 11:46Speaker 3: Oh, I'm going to say yes, Okay, I would yes.
- 11:49Speaker 4: For fifteen million, I would.
- 11:50Speaker 5: Say yes, I would say no, And it's because of
- 11:52Speaker 5: the timing, because if he's not coming back or not
- 11:55Speaker 5: going to be healthy till the second half of the season,
- 11:57Speaker 5: that's when this team will really be jelling, and so
- 12:00Speaker 5: then it makes me nervous to add somebody else in
- 12:02Speaker 5: there like that. With the personality he has.
- 12:09Speaker 3: I think that he's a very talented player.
- 12:11Speaker 5: I think he's wonderful, but it does seem again like
- 12:14Speaker 5: to disrupt the locker room with that personality in the
- 12:17Speaker 5: second half of the season, just when they're really rolling.
- 12:21Speaker 3: That makes me very nervous.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Really, that's the only reason I would be interested is
- 12:25Speaker 1: that you can keep him away from everybody for half
- 12:28Speaker 1: a year, and then when your rolling, you add this
- 12:31Speaker 1: weapon to a team that you know makes you even
- 12:35Speaker 1: that much more dangerous.
- 12:36Speaker 5: See, I think you'd want to get to know, like
- 12:38Speaker 5: see how it works early on, and then it's then
- 12:42Speaker 5: by the second half of the season you've already figured
- 12:44Speaker 5: it out.
- 12:44Speaker 3: It's you know, everybody's got their place. But to just yeah,
- 12:47Speaker 3: I don't know, it makes Yeah, it makes me nervous.
- 12:49Speaker 1: I mean I'm checking. No, I don't want him. I
- 12:53Speaker 1: think what we've figured out here is man a great
- 12:58Speaker 1: locker room goes a long way, and this guy's going
- 13:01Speaker 1: to ruin every locker room.
- 13:02Speaker 2: He goes into.
- 13:03Speaker 1: I mean, he's just gonna do it.
- 13:04Speaker 4: It's just everywhere ruined kans City. I mean they were
- 13:07Speaker 4: pretty good when he was there, that's true.
- 13:09Speaker 1: I mean when he's playing well.
- 13:10Speaker 4: I think he's one of those. He's not a cancer.
- 13:12Speaker 4: If things start to go south and he's cancers.
- 13:15Speaker 3: He didn't the team. Yeah, he didn't.
- 13:16Speaker 1: Ruin it, but he felt like he was on the
- 13:19Speaker 1: lip of ruining it, like they didn't exactly fight to
- 13:22Speaker 1: keep him. That's true. So I think that because Kelsey
- 13:27Speaker 1: was such a big figure that had kept it from
- 13:29Speaker 1: doing it. But I think he destroys anything that he's
- 13:32Speaker 1: a wrecking ball. He's Miley Cyrus, Am I all right?
- 13:38Speaker 1: Next one? Mike Evans aged thirty two, surprising that they're
- 13:42Speaker 1: the same age. That's weird. Future Hall of Famer, by
- 13:46Speaker 1: all accounts, a phenomenal teammate. Everybody adores him that ever
- 13:50Speaker 1: played with Mike Evans. He wants a ring, and he
- 13:54Speaker 1: might take less in order to get one. He is,
- 13:58Speaker 1: according to Spotrek, third team. Million dollars would be the
- 14:01Speaker 1: salary for this upcoming year because he is coming off
- 14:05Speaker 1: his least productive season of his entire career. He's thirty
- 14:09Speaker 1: two years old, probably has lost a step. Never was
- 14:12Speaker 1: a Blazer, even though he was a tremendous deep threat
- 14:15Speaker 1: his entire career. But he's coming off a thirty catch
- 14:18Speaker 1: season in just eight games, So he's not going to
- 14:22Speaker 1: cost as much as he would have a year ago.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Mike Evans to the Seahawks check yes.
- 14:28Speaker 4: Or no, Yes, one hundred percent. He come off of
- 14:31Speaker 4: his worst season. It's his first season he didn't eclipse
- 14:34Speaker 4: a thousand yards eleven straight thousand yard seasons that dude had,
- 14:38Speaker 4: and you could get him for less than what you'd
- 14:41Speaker 4: have to pay for Rashid Shahat or any of these
- 14:43Speaker 4: other guys that we've been talking about. I mean, I
- 14:45Speaker 4: would do it for sure. I think he wants to ring.
- 14:47Speaker 4: I think that when you talk about a clubhouse guy
- 14:49Speaker 4: or a guy, a locker room guy, he's about as
- 14:52Speaker 4: good as it gets. You're getting a You're getting a
- 14:55Speaker 4: guy that you maybe don't need to go out there.
- 14:57Speaker 4: It's like another Cooper Cup. Tell me Sam Darnold wouldn't
- 15:00Speaker 4: want another guy that you just know he's going to
- 15:02Speaker 4: be where he's supposed to be. Try to stop Jackson
- 15:04Speaker 4: Smith and Jig. But even if you do happen to
- 15:06Speaker 4: do that, every once in a while, we got two
- 15:08Speaker 4: weapons that we can hit you with.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Good luck.
- 15:10Speaker 5: Yeah, I would absolutely say yes as well, just the
- 15:12Speaker 5: consistency that he has shown throughout his career.
- 15:14Speaker 3: Obviously when he's not injured.
- 15:16Speaker 5: The injury is that the injuries he dealt with last
- 15:18Speaker 5: year different, right, But yeah, absolutely.
- 15:21Speaker 1: I'm going yes. I mean, I just really like the player,
- 15:25Speaker 1: and I think for a guy that's just like I'm
- 15:27Speaker 1: just here for the ring, I think it's perfect for
- 15:30Speaker 1: the team's chemistry.
- 15:31Speaker 6: Yep.
- 15:31Speaker 1: I'm a little worried, and I think Hugh right now
- 15:34Speaker 1: probably is listening, like, you can't have Cup and Evans
- 15:37Speaker 1: speed on the field at the exact same time. You know,
- 15:41Speaker 1: I'm worried about that. I am, I'm interested. I'm gonna
- 15:45Speaker 1: check yes either way. But if for some reason Cooper
- 15:48Speaker 1: Cup didn't want to play again, absolutely go get Mike Evans. Yeah,
- 15:52Speaker 1: you know, go get Mike Evans at that wont at
- 15:54Speaker 1: that point because I think you get the same sort
- 15:57Speaker 1: of leader, same sort of no how and the same
- 16:01Speaker 1: sort of you know, makes everybody around him better kind
- 16:05Speaker 1: of personality on this team. And I think he still
- 16:08Speaker 1: has some catches left in him here in the.
- 16:11Speaker 4: National Well, the good thing is to call him Hugh
- 16:13Speaker 4: down a little bit. Is I have Jackson Smith and Jigwa,
- 16:17Speaker 4: Cooper Cup, Mike Evans, Rashijiheed, Tyreek Hill, and Tory Horton,
- 16:21Speaker 4: all of them in there because I said yes everybody, so.
- 16:24Speaker 1: We got plenty of speed.
- 16:25Speaker 2: You all right?
- 16:28Speaker 1: Last one Christian Kirk twenty nine years old, former first
- 16:33Speaker 1: round pick. He actually finished the season pretty strong this
- 16:37Speaker 1: past year, ended up being a very valuable receiver in
- 16:41Speaker 1: the playoffs for goodness sake, and according to spo Trek,
- 16:45Speaker 1: just five million dollars for twenty nine year old Christian Kirk.
- 16:49Speaker 1: And I mean, think about this. You're losing Rashid Shahed,
- 16:53Speaker 1: so you might be looking for the type of guy
- 16:55Speaker 1: that could replace Rashid Shahed. Is Christian Kirk at a
- 16:59Speaker 1: third of the price, somebody that you would be interested in?
- 17:02Speaker 1: Check yes or no?
- 17:03Speaker 4: Well, since I've said yes to everybody else, I'm gonna
- 17:05Speaker 4: say no to him. But it really is I'm gonna
- 17:09Speaker 4: run this through my fantasy football filter. I've had him
- 17:11Speaker 4: a couple of times, and he never really helped me out.
- 17:13Speaker 4: He seems like a guy that I'd never understood how
- 17:16Speaker 4: he was even like ranked as well as he was
- 17:20Speaker 4: or looked upon as well as he was when he
- 17:22Speaker 4: was a cardinal. I mean, he started only three games
- 17:26Speaker 4: last season. If you can't make the you know, I
- 17:29Speaker 4: guess Houston has a pretty good receiving course, so maybe
- 17:31Speaker 4: that's part of it. But no, he's just never been
- 17:33Speaker 4: a guy that I've been thoroughly impressed with. He's not
- 17:35Speaker 4: a guy that I want.
- 17:36Speaker 5: And how much would we be paying for five I
- 17:39Speaker 5: mean I think at five thousand or five million dollars,
- 17:42Speaker 5: that's not.
- 17:43Speaker 3: I would consider it. I'd probably lean more towards yes.
- 17:46Speaker 5: He's only had two seasons where he's been at or
- 17:49Speaker 5: near a thousand. He really pissed me off last year
- 17:52Speaker 5: in the playoffs because I had Nico Collins and then
- 17:56Speaker 5: he got well and then he had like the game
- 17:59Speaker 5: of his life with like one hundred and thirty something
- 18:01Speaker 5: yards receiving, and so he's very streaky, which would be
- 18:04Speaker 5: my one reservation.
- 18:06Speaker 3: But five million, Yeah, I do it.
- 18:07Speaker 1: Oh, I'm definitely yes on this one. I mean we're
- 18:10Speaker 1: talking about a number three, maybe number four wide receiver here.
- 18:13Speaker 1: We're just looking for somebody with a veteran experience. He
- 18:15Speaker 1: in return kicks. He's coming off trumentous the best game
- 18:18Speaker 1: of his career. There's a little bit of momentum for
- 18:21Speaker 1: him going forward. He's got some experience, he's been knocked
- 18:24Speaker 1: down a peg or two, so you don't have to
- 18:26Speaker 1: worry about some crazy first round pick ego coming into here.
- 18:29Speaker 1: To me, he's my four receiver. I saved ten nine
- 18:33Speaker 1: million dollars. If I want to listen to spo track's
- 18:36Speaker 1: rankings for it. Horton's my number three, and then Kirk
- 18:40Speaker 1: is my number four that can fill in for any
- 18:43Speaker 1: of the three guys and return kicks along with Horton. So,
- 18:46Speaker 1: to me, this is the free agent signing you make
- 18:50Speaker 1: in the offseason. Somebody like this, either a Christian Kirk
- 18:53Speaker 1: or a Jalen Naylor who was a former first round
- 18:57Speaker 1: pick twenty seven years old. You know that John likes
- 18:59Speaker 1: his young free agents. Who's also in the same price
- 19:02Speaker 1: range according to spot track, Maybe at Jahan Dotson, who
- 19:05Speaker 1: was a hot name coming out of college at Penn
- 19:07Speaker 1: State but has not really worked out. In the NFL.
- 19:11Speaker 1: But at age twenty six, still young enough that you
- 19:13Speaker 1: can tap into some things. I certainly liked him coming
- 19:15Speaker 1: out of college. I'm just looking for a number four
- 19:18Speaker 1: wide receiver here.
- 19:19Speaker 3: Yeah, five million dollars, jes.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Ends my superstar number one and Cook still, I'm going
- 19:24Speaker 1: to count on one more year. Can I get one
- 19:26Speaker 1: more year out of you? And then I got Tory
- 19:28Speaker 1: Horton on the come. I just need a little bit
- 19:30Speaker 1: of wide receiver depth, and I don't want to spend
- 19:32Speaker 1: a lot of money on that, and so I'm more
- 19:35Speaker 1: targeting above all the guys on the list, one of
- 19:38Speaker 1: those three, one of those tight players here on the
- 19:42Speaker 1: NFL free agent market. But we shall see all right.
- 19:45Speaker 1: Coming up next, Everett Fitzu is gonna join us. Big
- 19:49Speaker 1: win last night plus the trading deadline coming up for
- 19:51Speaker 1: the Kraken Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM two one.
- 19:56Speaker 6: Seattle up to the line, lost us bear down the
- 19:59Speaker 6: slot shot deflecting high over the goal, Jarvis off.
- 20:02Speaker 2: The back of the net.
- 20:03Speaker 6: Ten seconds left here in Seattle. This is a ho
- 20:06Speaker 6: to the high slot elers back to la ho suits
- 20:09Speaker 6: That'll say a lode three seconds to go hah, docern.
- 20:13Speaker 7: I so leads a card a thirty five save.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Dandy here at home. It's a two one Seattle track
- 20:30Speaker 1: and win. He had me at Gasta Spare. I was
- 20:37Speaker 1: impressed with just that, Yeah, all right, pronouncing that name
- 20:40Speaker 1: correctly in the speed of the action. Then to nail
- 20:43Speaker 1: the call like that.
- 20:45Speaker 4: He is beyond awesome. He is so much awesomer than
- 20:49Speaker 4: I even realized.
- 20:50Speaker 1: He's the pe very well could be the awesomest. Yeah,
- 20:53Speaker 1: and he joins us, Now it's your voice for your
- 20:55Speaker 1: Seattle cracking right here on the flagship sports radio ninety
- 20:58Speaker 1: three point three kJ RFM. Ever it fits you. How
- 21:01Speaker 1: are you, sir?
- 21:02Speaker 8: Oh?
- 21:02Speaker 2: I'm good.
- 21:03Speaker 6: My heart rates has come down a bit. I'm a
- 21:07Speaker 6: little less puckered than I was last night after that thrilling,
- 21:11Speaker 6: a thrilling win over the best team in the East.
- 21:14Speaker 2: It feels good. How you guys?
- 21:15Speaker 1: How big was that win?
- 21:18Speaker 2: You know?
- 21:19Speaker 6: So, looking at the first two games for Seattle out
- 21:22Speaker 6: of the break, no one was happy with the effort
- 21:25Speaker 6: to performance.
- 21:25Speaker 2: The scores.
- 21:26Speaker 6: Obviously, you're outscored nine to two. You didn't come back
- 21:29Speaker 6: on Saturday. You score five on Vancouver, a team that
- 21:33Speaker 6: you should beat But those are the type of games
- 21:36Speaker 6: that if a team is that far behind you and
- 21:38Speaker 6: they're struggling, and you win that game to one or
- 21:42Speaker 6: one nothing, then I think you still have some questions
- 21:45Speaker 6: to answer.
- 21:46Speaker 2: So you silenced some of those questions.
- 21:47Speaker 6: And then last night with Carolina, where they were in
- 21:51Speaker 6: the standings, you didn't beat them in their.
- 21:54Speaker 2: Building a little over a month and ago, about a
- 21:56Speaker 2: half ago.
- 21:57Speaker 6: They're a team that you know, we're gonna get a
- 21:58Speaker 6: lot of shots on they score goals, and to put
- 22:02Speaker 6: on a near perfect defensive performance, you know, thirty five
- 22:06Speaker 6: saves on thirty six shots.
- 22:08Speaker 2: I think that was obviously the.
- 22:11Speaker 6: Better of the two wins in the last two games
- 22:13Speaker 6: for Seattle, but that's probably one of their statement wins
- 22:17Speaker 6: of the new year for a team that still is
- 22:20Speaker 6: right in the hunts for a playoff spot. And they
- 22:23Speaker 6: woke up this morning they're three points out of first.
- 22:26Speaker 6: So I mean, that was arguably I would say, one
- 22:29Speaker 6: of the biggest wins definitely in this new year of
- 22:32Speaker 6: twenty twenty six.
- 22:33Speaker 2: But I'd even go so far as to say the season. Wow.
- 22:36Speaker 4: I mean, FITZI, it was an exciting game to say
- 22:39Speaker 4: the least, and yet you know, two to one wins,
- 22:42Speaker 4: those are not that easy to come by, especially against
- 22:45Speaker 4: good teams like the Hurricanes that put that many shots
- 22:48Speaker 4: on the go on goals. So is that the the
- 22:51Speaker 4: blueprint though? I mean that just kind of all right,
- 22:54Speaker 4: we'll let them maybe control the middle of the ice,
- 22:57Speaker 4: but we're going to just hope that Decord or Grooby
- 23:00Speaker 4: whoever can stand on their head and we'll just find
- 23:02Speaker 4: a way to sneak a couple past their guy.
- 23:05Speaker 6: Well, there is, I mean, there is that the system
- 23:08Speaker 6: that Laye Lambert you know, has put in place. And
- 23:10Speaker 6: then it's a very defensive first system and actually, Bucky,
- 23:14Speaker 6: it's it's almost the opposite.
- 23:15Speaker 2: You want to clog up the middle of the ice.
- 23:17Speaker 2: You don't want to allow them to get any rush opportunities.
- 23:20Speaker 6: If you can push them to the outside, keep the
- 23:23Speaker 6: puck on the perimeter, keep their wingers you know, from
- 23:26Speaker 6: from finding space in the middle. That's ideally what you
- 23:30Speaker 6: want to do. And this reminds me of a game
- 23:33Speaker 6: that m Kraken played in Winnipeg back in November. They
- 23:37Speaker 6: won that game three nothing on the road, but it
- 23:40Speaker 6: was two empty net goals. So with about three and
- 23:42Speaker 6: a half minutes left, Seattle was ahead, won nothing, and
- 23:45Speaker 6: it was a one nothing game for the bulk of
- 23:48Speaker 6: that third I think, second half of the second into
- 23:50Speaker 6: the third period, and I felt this calm, and Alan
- 23:54Speaker 6: and I were talking about this, I felt this calm
- 23:56Speaker 6: of you knew this team, because of the system, because
- 24:00Speaker 6: of the way that they play, they were gonna be
- 24:02Speaker 6: able to defensively shut that down. Ultimately they did. Last night,
- 24:07Speaker 6: I felt that same feeling creeping back in where even
- 24:10Speaker 6: though the Hurricanes were getting their chances, you're right, Joey
- 24:13Speaker 6: Decordo's dialed, and in that game you need your goaltending
- 24:16Speaker 6: to be well and to play well, and he did.
- 24:18Speaker 6: But I also think that everything that Leiye Lambert has
- 24:21Speaker 6: taught this team, that has coached this team to play
- 24:23Speaker 6: the system that they play, you saw it executed last night.
- 24:28Speaker 6: There weren't a whole lot of high danger chances after
- 24:31Speaker 6: a certain point. The Kraken physically out hitting the Hurricanes
- 24:38Speaker 6: thirty was thirty one to thirteen.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Kraken last night were out hit.
- 24:42Speaker 6: Thirty six to fifteen, So almost the inverse numbers hitting
- 24:47Speaker 6: versus shooting, And I think for Seattle, you just wore
- 24:50Speaker 6: them down so for the Krack and they played that
- 24:53Speaker 6: style effectively and again, I mean that was probably I
- 24:57Speaker 6: think one of their best efforts of the season because
- 25:00Speaker 6: of that style and that structure of play that Lane's
- 25:04Speaker 6: put in place.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Yeah, and Alexiak may have had his best game at
- 25:08Speaker 1: least the one that oh my.
- 25:09Speaker 6: Goodness, yeah, eleven hits last night for him, and for
- 25:13Speaker 6: a guy as big as he is, Jamie Alexiak does
- 25:16Speaker 6: a lot of things very very well. You know, not
- 25:18Speaker 6: necessarily known for the hitting and for the physicality, but
- 25:22Speaker 6: he's a guy that never really has had to be
- 25:25Speaker 6: because he is so strong defensively. So when you see,
- 25:28Speaker 6: you know, an eleven hit game for Jamie Alexiak. We
- 25:32Speaker 6: actually asked Jacob Malanson last night after the game about it,
- 25:36Speaker 6: and he's a player in Milonson that is typically getting seven,
- 25:40Speaker 6: eight and nine. He hopes a cracket record for twelve
- 25:43Speaker 6: hits in a game. So Alexiak was one off of that,
- 25:45Speaker 6: and we asked him last night, you know, do you
- 25:47Speaker 6: feel that your propensity for hitting your style is worn
- 25:52Speaker 6: off on some of the other guys on the team
- 25:54Speaker 6: And he.
- 25:54Speaker 2: Said, I sure hope.
- 25:55Speaker 6: So, you know, so seeing that that physicality and that
- 25:59Speaker 6: mentality starting to filter in and creep in. You can
- 26:03Speaker 6: be physical, you can hit. They don't always have to
- 26:06Speaker 6: be bone crunching hits. They don't always have to get
- 26:10Speaker 6: everyone out of their seats. But when you lead on
- 26:13Speaker 6: a team, and when you're consistently have to having to
- 26:16Speaker 6: look over your shoulder because you know player A or
- 26:20Speaker 6: player B is on the ice gutting for you every time,
- 26:23Speaker 6: it's gonna make you think twice. It's gonna make you
- 26:25Speaker 6: react a little bit quicker than you would like and
- 26:27Speaker 6: disrupt your play. So that's where I think the hitting
- 26:30Speaker 6: came into play last night and helping to get Carolina
- 26:33Speaker 6: off their game.
- 26:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just as from a commentary standpoint, like
- 26:36Speaker 1: I realize how talented Neeman and some of the other
- 26:39Speaker 1: youngsters are, but Milanson and Myers have changed the identity
- 26:45Speaker 1: here of this team just with their physicality. E it
- 26:48Speaker 1: fits you as with us the voice of your Seattle
- 26:50Speaker 1: Cracking and my last two three minutes with you, I
- 26:52Speaker 1: got to ask about the NHL trading deadline on Friday. Yeah,
- 26:55Speaker 1: a lot of the talk out there is hey, cracking,
- 26:57Speaker 1: you got to make a blockbuster. This isn't you know,
- 27:00Speaker 1: No minor deal on Friday. You need to swing something
- 27:04Speaker 1: of significance to add an offensive piece to this roster.
- 27:08Speaker 6: What say you yeah that that's that's that's the big hope,
- 27:12Speaker 6: that's the plan. I think that Jason boscherl wants you
- 27:15Speaker 6: know that he wants to make that home run swing
- 27:17Speaker 6: and whatever that's going to cost.
- 27:20Speaker 2: I think within reason.
- 27:22Speaker 6: You know, you're not just going to give up everything
- 27:24Speaker 6: and and and you know, go for it. But I
- 27:26Speaker 6: do think within reason, the the bank is open now
- 27:30Speaker 6: depending on on who you talk to. And and this
- 27:33Speaker 6: is this is me not getting any official word internally,
- 27:38Speaker 6: but I've been reading a couple of the quote unquote
- 27:41Speaker 6: insiders around the NHL, and this is when they start
- 27:43Speaker 6: coming out of the woodworks, uh you know, these last
- 27:46Speaker 6: couple of weeks. But it sounds like the Krack and
- 27:48Speaker 6: uh you know, are thinking about rolling with this group
- 27:52Speaker 6: that they have.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Now, that doesn't mean.
- 27:54Speaker 6: That they won't make a move because they've got four
- 27:56Speaker 6: first round draft picks, they have a pretty deep prospect pool.
- 28:01Speaker 6: But some of those UFA contracts that are out there,
- 28:05Speaker 6: a lot of teams are still interested in and we'll
- 28:07Speaker 6: see if those end up getting moved and you know,
- 28:10Speaker 6: a player like a Jamie Alexiak or Jordan Eberley or
- 28:13Speaker 6: James Schwartz or now it's over it. All of those
- 28:16Speaker 6: players are up after this season, so those are what
- 28:19Speaker 6: teams typically are enticed by, guys on inspiring contracts that
- 28:23Speaker 6: can help in a playoff run. That said, I think
- 28:27Speaker 6: this group has helped Seattle get to where they are now.
- 28:31Speaker 6: So I'm curious how willing unless it's an overpay or
- 28:35Speaker 6: the right move comes along. I'm curious to see how
- 28:38Speaker 6: Jason Bosher goes about this deadline. But that doesn't mean
- 28:41Speaker 6: there won't be a move made. You do have, like
- 28:43Speaker 6: I said, picks, You've got prospects, you have a few
- 28:46Speaker 6: other players on this crack and roster that teams are
- 28:49Speaker 6: interested in.
- 28:49Speaker 2: But I'm with you. I do think this team will
- 28:52Speaker 2: make a big move.
- 28:54Speaker 6: That we've been talking and talking about it and hearing
- 28:57Speaker 6: about it for the last you know, however many years
- 28:59Speaker 6: this team. He's a top line scorer. They need a
- 29:01Speaker 6: top six score bona fide scorer in this league. And
- 29:05Speaker 6: as we saw by the Artemi Paneran news that leaked
- 29:08Speaker 6: out that the Krack and were right there in the
- 29:11Speaker 6: thick of that Panerien race, but Artemi Panier and ultimately
- 29:14Speaker 6: he had one team on his list and it was
- 29:16Speaker 6: the La King, So that's where he ended up going.
- 29:19Speaker 6: But Jason Boschel, you know, showed that he was willing
- 29:23Speaker 6: to take a swing and and take that chance and
- 29:25Speaker 6: even if you miss, you still stepped into the plane,
- 29:28Speaker 6: into the box. So I do think the Kracking are
- 29:31Speaker 6: going to make a big move in the next few days.
- 29:32Speaker 6: Noon Pacific on Friday is the deadline. So that game
- 29:37Speaker 6: against Ottawa Saturday night would not surprise me to see
- 29:41Speaker 6: a new face in a pretty big new face on
- 29:45Speaker 6: this roster.
- 29:45Speaker 1: I love that. All right, Well, I'll just close with this,
- 29:48Speaker 1: How good is it field? Driving home from the arena?
- 29:51Speaker 1: When you watch a game like that, you pull off
- 29:54Speaker 1: the win, You're on the edge of your seat for
- 29:56Speaker 1: the last like three minutes maybe five minutes of the game,
- 29:59Speaker 1: calling the action, and then you nail the final call.
- 30:02Speaker 1: I mean, were you just floating home last night?
- 30:06Speaker 2: I listened, I try.
- 30:07Speaker 6: I tried to keep a certain level of humble ness,
- 30:11Speaker 6: uh with with within within my.
- 30:17Speaker 2: Yes.
- 30:18Speaker 6: But I will say, as is the case with everyone, right, cow.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Goes four to four at the plate with a couple
- 30:24Speaker 2: of bombs.
- 30:24Speaker 6: He's driving home like, yeah, and I last night I
- 30:28Speaker 6: did the same thing. I both my goal calls I
- 30:30Speaker 6: felt were pretty good. And then that last minute, especially
- 30:33Speaker 6: with with six on four on the PK for Seattle.
- 30:36Speaker 2: I was very very proud of of myself last night.
- 30:39Speaker 6: So I may have poured I may have poured an
- 30:41Speaker 6: extra finger of whiskey last night.
- 30:44Speaker 9: Uh honey, your husband so many totally nailed it tonight,
- 30:56Speaker 9: extra finger.
- 30:59Speaker 6: She was just crawling into bed when I walked through
- 31:01Speaker 6: the door and I walked in and she's like, hey,
- 31:02Speaker 6: how'd it go?
- 31:03Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, I cussed it.
- 31:06Speaker 6: Yeah, you boy, your boy done, good boy.
- 31:14Speaker 1: All right tomorrow against the Blues, little revenge game there.

- 32:48Speaker 1: like hotel living. I mean, I need a room next
- 32:51Speaker 1: to the elevator. I don't want to have I don't
- 32:53Speaker 1: want to have to walk along ways from the elevator.
- 32:55Speaker 1: Hear that, tlala people or hint, hint, I mean, what
- 32:58Speaker 1: more do we need to do?
- 32:59Speaker 4: I mean I can guarantee you we will continue to
- 33:03Speaker 4: knock these things out of the park if I am
- 33:04Speaker 4: waking up in the hotel every day with you or yeah,
- 33:10Speaker 4: of course, of course my son loves to gamble.
- 33:13Speaker 1: Oh, I thought it was gonna be both of us,
- 33:15Speaker 1: the two of us. Yeah, you have a different room.
- 33:17Speaker 3: Oh, you guys can have an adjoining door.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be fun. That'd be cool.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Hey, open it up.
- 33:23Speaker 1: No, not today, chuck.
- 33:24Speaker 3: Yeah, like when one person doesn't want to unlock their side.
- 33:28Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like you're having so much fun in there.
- 33:30Speaker 2: I am.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. Well, coming up at the top of
- 33:34Speaker 1: the hour, we're gonna talk some WBC with Robert Flores,
- 33:39Speaker 1: who's with the MLB Network and he's d Rose kind
- 33:42Speaker 1: of sidekick, if you will. I don't know if Robert
- 33:45Speaker 1: would like being described that way, but they do the
- 33:47Speaker 1: morning show together there, so yeah, we're kind of a
- 33:51Speaker 1: chance to pick row Flow's brain on a lot of
- 33:54Speaker 1: different things. We're gonna do that at nine o'clock here today,
- 33:57Speaker 1: but Greg Bell was one with us at seven o'clock
- 33:59Speaker 1: and I addressed with him some of these crazy, wild
- 34:03Speaker 1: rumors that not only will Max Crossby be traded this week,
- 34:06Speaker 1: but a prime candidate for him to be traded too,
- 34:10Speaker 1: is your world champion Seattle Seahawks. We asked Greg if
- 34:14Speaker 1: he's hearing, if there's any truth to the rumors.
- 34:17Speaker 10: Well, they've asked, They've looked around and acquired and there's
- 34:21Speaker 10: a spy tech. General manager for the Raiders and Snyder
- 34:24Speaker 10: have done recent business, said the quarterback for this in particular,
- 34:28Speaker 10: So it's not like they don't.
- 34:29Speaker 8: Know each other. So Snyder is aware of what the
- 34:34Speaker 8: Raiders are, asking, what they would want and all of that.
- 34:36Speaker 8: It's the old we are involved on everything, and they
- 34:39Speaker 8: take pride in doing that. It would have to be
- 34:42Speaker 8: for players. As we've talked about how they don't have
- 34:44Speaker 8: much at least this year in draft capital. We'll see
- 34:49Speaker 8: again it's a sort of like free agency. Once a
- 34:51Speaker 8: lot of teams get involved in bidding for a guy
- 34:54Speaker 8: they may want to acquire in a trade, then the
- 34:57Speaker 8: price goes way up. And the Seahawks have some of
- 35:01Speaker 8: the fewest draft picks in this draft, and they don't
- 35:03Speaker 8: have a ton of capital. It would cost the players
- 35:06Speaker 8: to get someone like that, I'll never saying ever. I mean,
- 35:09Speaker 8: just team to trade Russell Wilson. You remember, so trades
- 35:12Speaker 8: can come out of nowhere, but it does get more
- 35:15Speaker 8: difficult for a team with low draft capital when other
- 35:18Speaker 8: teams are reportedly seeking a guy at the price goes
- 35:21Speaker 8: way up.
- 35:22Speaker 1: Well, something we said earlier. If you're a team that's
- 35:25Speaker 1: already championship team and you got there, maybe a year
- 35:28Speaker 1: earlier than even you expected, and you've got the third
- 35:31Speaker 1: youngest roster in the National Football League, maybe you don't
- 35:34Speaker 1: value those draft picks quite as much. Maybe picking late
- 35:39Speaker 1: in the draft this year, last in the first round,
- 35:42Speaker 1: and if he's going to require two first round picks,
- 35:46Speaker 1: flipping him next year's as well to get one of
- 35:48Speaker 1: the best pass rushers in the National Football League. Maybe
- 35:51Speaker 1: this is the time to pull off a move like that.
- 35:54Speaker 1: You've got the cap space to take on a guy
- 35:56Speaker 1: making thirty five million dollars per season through twenty twenty nine.
- 36:00Speaker 1: You've got the cap space right now to do that.
- 36:03Speaker 1: I guess my only concern is maybe, maybe, and I
- 36:08Speaker 1: do like the idea, don't get me wrong. Maybe it's
- 36:10Speaker 1: a declining player. Maybe it's somebody who played every single
- 36:14Speaker 1: game his first five careers but for the first five
- 36:16Speaker 1: years of his career, but hasn't been able to get
- 36:18Speaker 1: through healthy the last two His sack production has gone
- 36:22Speaker 1: down the last couple of years. Do you want to
- 36:26Speaker 1: give up two first round picks for a maybe declining
- 36:28Speaker 1: player at this stage in his career.
- 36:31Speaker 4: I'd still go yes. But that's I mean, I've watched
- 36:33Speaker 4: a lot of games. I mean, we've all watched NFL,
- 36:36Speaker 4: but I've watched this dude wreck. I mean, maybe he's
- 36:39Speaker 4: not Aaron Donald, but he can wreck some crap. I mean,
- 36:42Speaker 4: he will, he rap record, he is. He's a crap wrecker,
- 36:44Speaker 4: he really is. Any guys around. And I think that
- 36:47Speaker 4: you play the.
- 36:48Speaker 1: Average salary of the top five crap wreckers is because.
- 36:52Speaker 4: It's lofty's it's a lofty price tag. But I mean,
- 36:55Speaker 4: you you get, you get what you pay for. And
- 36:58Speaker 4: I think that I I think you plug him into
- 37:01Speaker 4: this defense. I think it makes them exponentially better as
- 37:04Speaker 4: far as getting after the quarterback. And that's saying something.
- 37:06Speaker 4: I mean, because the gang of guys got it done
- 37:09Speaker 4: this year, but they didn't have it. They don't have
- 37:12Speaker 4: an exceptional edge rusher, they don't have. None of the
- 37:15Speaker 4: guys that got the job done on that D line
- 37:17Speaker 4: are exceptional edge rushers. You put him in the mix,
- 37:21Speaker 4: all of those guys you have on the inside, all
- 37:23Speaker 4: of your D tackles are going to get after the
- 37:25Speaker 4: quarterback more because they're gonna have to. They're gonna have
- 37:27Speaker 4: to respect a guy like Max Crosby. And if they don't,
- 37:31Speaker 4: his sack numbers are going to go up because I
- 37:33Speaker 4: mean he was putting him. His numbers are still good
- 37:35Speaker 4: even if they're declining, and he was getting all the attention.
- 37:38Speaker 1: Good culture Guy heard an interview yesterday with somebody says,
- 37:41Speaker 1: my favorite teammate I ever had, never stops motor guy.
- 37:45Speaker 1: He's got a good motor. That's good. Bo mel kiper
- 37:49Speaker 1: I do it. I mean I do it.
- 37:50Speaker 3: I like it.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Uh, just you know, trying to play a little devil's advocate.
- 37:54Speaker 1: We'll talk more about it later in the show, but
