  Speaker 1: Corbin Smith, here's Ian.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Corbin Smith joins us. Podcast is fantastic, by the way, fella.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I listen with you guys all the time. Turbo, you
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and some guy, Rob, Rob, name escapes me. Not really sure.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Rob something on there as well. He's just kind of
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: there for fluff, I guess. But how are you, Corbin?
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: I'm good. You know, you have to have some fluff
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: to have a successful podcast. You do.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: No, Ranger does a great job. You guys do a
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: great job. We'll tell you about that at the end
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: of the segment. I know my friend Corbin Smith loves
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a good running game. I know my guy Corbin Smith
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: loves the offensive line and appreciates the offensive line. So
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: take me back about 26, 27 hours ago when we
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: all got word that the Seahawks had picked up some
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: guy named Quinton Nelson.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Look, I'm a reporter. I can't be biased. But, man,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: I jumped out of my seat when I saw the
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: news that Quentin Nelson was going to be joining the
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Seattle Seahawks because this is not hyperbole.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: I think that Quentin Nelson, if you had to do
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: a quarter-decade.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Team, again, I think Quentin Nelson, he might have actually
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: been on that team for a few of the outlets
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: that did it. But I think he's one of the
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: two best guards there. that's played in the last 25
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: years in the national football league. And so you're adding
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: him to your offensive line, getting to be a little
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: older player, but I mean, 30 is not old, old
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: for NFL linemen. And, uh, you look at the numbers
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: this year, he hasn't given up a sack. He's given
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: up just six pressures. He is still mauling dudes left
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: and right in the run game. The Colts, Jonathan Taylor
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: is going to badly miss him. Uh, The Colts' run
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: game is just so much better when they were running
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: behind Quentin Nelson and Nala. All of Seattle's running backs
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: are going to get to benefit from that, and they're
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: hoping their top two are going to be there.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: This week, potentially, for them to run behind their new blocker.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I should mention, Adam Schefter, reporting just a minute ago,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: we thought initially that the Ravens had claimed Christian Haynes.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: It sounds like the Dolphins actually claimed Christian Haynes off waiver,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: so thoughts of him coming back to the practice squad
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: are out the door. When you watch Quentin Nelson, was
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: he kind of a missing piece for this offensive line
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: in terms of not only how he plays, but also
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: in terms of, I would put it this way, in
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: terms of the attitude. We talked to Ross Tucker earlier.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: He just elevates everybody else. He's a finisher and all
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: those things.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I thought.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Anthony Bradford and his return on Sunday kind of brought
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: that edge to the Seahawks' offensive line.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: But No offense to Anthony Bradford. He is not Wynton Nelson.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: And you are bringing in a guy that has that nastiness,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: that edge, also has elite athleticism technique. He is the
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: complete package. There's a reason he was a three-time, three
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: years in a row, first-team All-Pro coming into the NFL.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: His first three years was a second-teamer last year. I
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: think this year, if we were voting right now, he
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: would be one of the first-team selections. He's been one
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: of the best guards in the league. even on that
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: bad Colts team. So I think this is interesting because
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: you had a lot of discussion. I think we actually
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: talked about this last week that, and I still was wondering,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: would they go out and try to add to their backfield?
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: But this clearly was John Schneider saying, Hey, we, we
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: think that the biggest thing that's going to move the
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: needle for us is if we go get the best
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: run blocking guard in the NFL and add into our
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: offensive line and then.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Slide gray Zabel over to the right side at right guard.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: And And we're going to plug him in, and we're
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: going to run behind Quentin Nelson, and that should make
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: all of our running backs on the roster better.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about it a little bit earlier with
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Ross Tucker as well about this and discussed it on
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the radio station the last two days. You guys have
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: done the podcast as well, I know. One of the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: things that when this happens, you're like, okay, well now
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: you've got this It's funny because two weeks ago when
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Bradford was hurt, you didn't have a right guard. You
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: were rotating a guy that's now been released and picked
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: up by Miami and a rookie who doesn't look like
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: he's quite ready for prime time yet in Stevens. Now
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: you've got three guards that are all capable starters in Nelson,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: more than capable. That's a massive understatement, Ian. But Nelson, obviously,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: then Gray Zabel, a first-round draft pick, and Anthony Bradford.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: We won't know. I mentioned this earlier. Greg and I
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: were talking about this. We don't have the ability to
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: see any practice this time of the year, and I
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: can't imagine any way, shape, or form Mike McDonald going, yeah,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: we're going to do this, this, and this tomorrow. I'm
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: sure he'll dance around that quite a bit. So we
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: won't know until warm-ups on Monday, but is there any
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: doubt in your mind that you're going to see Nelson
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: at left guard and Zabel at right guard with the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: first-team offense?
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: That is exactly what it is going to be.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I have talked to a few people in the last
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: 24 hours that are in the know.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: Gray's able is going to be going to right guard.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: And for those that were speculating, maybe Zabel would go
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: to center. That was never in consideration when this move
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: was made, uh, for one, because they really liked Jalen
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Sundell and think he's doing a great job, but two,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: and you know, this being somebody that has a son
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: that played college football as an offensive lineman, um, The
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: center position is so difficult to adjust to, to acclimate to.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: And doing that in the middle of the regular season
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: when you don't have a bye week that's coming up
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: is just incredibly risky. And there's no way they were
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: going to do that with a guy that had 17
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: snaps at center in college.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: There's just no way they were going to do that.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: So center's not on the table for those speculating that
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: maybe he replaces Charles Cross for a few games. They're
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: not going to be doing that and sliding him out
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: to left tackle either, though he played that a lot
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: in college. They're not going to be doing that either.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: So Anthony Bradford, unfortunately, is going to be the odd
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: man out in this particular instance, and that's just the
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: way it goes when you upgrade your roster sometimes.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: That's a hell of a backup, though.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: Right? It really is.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: It's a hell of a backup guard when it's all
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: said and done. Well, I think, too, like what you said,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of things that go into this. First
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: of all, we've been out there a lot, the two
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: of us, Greg, over the last two years since Zabel
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: got drafted. We've never seen him on the outside. He's
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: been on the inside the entire time and, by and large,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: at left guard. We all know he played tackle in college,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: but Seattle didn't draft him to be a tackle. That
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: was never the plan for Zabel to be a tackle.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: The center position, we talked about it yesterday at Kiefer
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: on the Air. You're not doing that. In one week,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: you're not going to... First of all, what does that
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: say about Sundell? Sundell's been fine. That has not been
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: an issue. He may not be an all-pro, and he
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: may not go to the Hall of Fame, but Sundell's
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: been perfectly serviceable at center, and that position requires such
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: a different skill set you can move guards from right
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: to left. And even that Ross Tucker said it, Kiefer said,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of people say, even that there's a change,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: you know, like, like where your foot is, which hands
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: on the ground, things like that. This is the least
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: of the, of the issues to move your starting left guard.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Who's a second year player to right guard and bring
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: in a future hall of famer at left guard, especially
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: when you've got Josh Jones starting for cross. Like it just,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: any talk of something else was just kind of ridiculous.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Look, I, I, you, being my job, of course, I
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: had to explore all these alternatives, but I made it
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: very clear in my article that I posted on Emerald
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: City Spectrum last night that, you know, the idea that
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks don't believe in Josh Jones, who started three
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: games the end of last year for Charles Cross and
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: played really well, like, There was no way they were
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: going to move Zabel out there. And I think if
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: we were looking, I'd be a little more fascinated by
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: the center thing if this was an off-season move.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: Because then you would have had.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: The entire off-season to work with Gray Zabel at center.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: And you could potentially have Bradford at right guard and
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Nelson at left guard. And that could be your interior line.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: But that's not where we're at. Even if they had
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: a bye week, that might give you a little more cushion.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: But at the same time, again... Zabel's played 17 snaps
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: of center in his life. You're not going to move
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: him to that position in the middle of the season
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: when you have a perfectly serviceable starter. Like, if they
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: had a really bad starting situation, like, if this was
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Drew Nowak again playing center, then I would be like, look,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: then maybe.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: We can do this because it's worth the risk. But
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: Jalen Sundell.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: right now by most metrics is a top 10, top
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: 12 caliber center.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: So you're not going to be doing anything on that front.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: He's going to be very happily settling in at right guard,
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: and I have no concerns that.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: He's going to be able to do that. I think
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: it's also safe to say this means that Bradford's not
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: going to get re-signed. And I bring that up for
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: this reason. Nelson's a free agent after this year as well.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: This is, if we want to look at how it's
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: worked with Schneider recently, this is the fourth year He's
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: made a significant in-season trade. Leonard Williams, Ernest Jones, Rashid Shaheed,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: all those guys have been re-signed. You're not going to
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: spend that kind of money when you've got Zabel on
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: a rookie contract because Bradford's going to cost a few
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: pennies because the plan has to be that you're going
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: to keep Quentin Nelson down, especially with the draft capital
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: you got, or you gave up.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Jalen Sundell's going to be a restricted free agent,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: which keeping him around is going to be much more
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: inexpensive than if you tried to re-sign Bradford and Nelson
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: I mean they're not going to be bringing both those
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: guys back but you look at the track record as
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: you mentioned John Schneider does not make these kind of
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: deals like he's not going to rush to extend a
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: player he wants to see how Nelson fits and sees
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: how things work out but you know, giving up.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: A third is not, is not nothing.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: So he is not, he is not going to go
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: into this process. I don't think he makes a trade
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: like this. If he doesn't think there's a way that
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: they can keep the player around long-term it's, it's very
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: similar to Leonard Williams a couple of years ago.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: And you look at their situation with a salary cap
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: in like Right now, over the cap has them a
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: little over $ 30 million in cap space.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: But you look at the free agents they have, the
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: only real big names for understated free agents that they have,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, they got to figure out what they're going
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: to do with.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: Zach Charbonnet and Achenonuosu.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Bradford, now you're assuming, is not going to be back.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: And after that, it's just a bunch of, you know,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: low-level players for the most part. Like, they don't have– that's,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: you know, credit to John Schneider going out and making
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: all the signings that he did this offseason with star players–
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: they are in a position where they gave themselves the
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: flexibility if they brought in somebody like a Quentin Nelson
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: that they could find a way to get him on
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: the books and be able to sign him long-term. So
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: I would, you know, if I'm making a prediction right now,
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: I think he's here in 2027 and beyond. I don't
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: think this is a rental, but they're not going to
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: be making that extension right now, obviously.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: No, I would agree. It is our good friend, Corbin Smith,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: joining us, and we'll see Spectrum and Triple Option Seahawks
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: podcast as well. So that game on Sunday was something else,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: but hey, here's the treat. Now you get to crank
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: it up for the Chicago Bears on Monday night football,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: and this Bears team looks like they're humming along pretty good.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: That's a pretty good offense. Another good test for a
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Seahawks defense that passed with flying colors last week.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's going to be crazy saying this because
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Ken Walker III was leading the NFL in rushing going
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: into this game, but I think this is the hardest
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: test that Mike McDonald will have all year in terms
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: of defending the run. Because Ben Johnson schemes up the
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: run game better than anybody.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: I'm going to admit this.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: I have an obsession with watching the Chicago Bears run game.
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: It is my favorite to watch in the NFL.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: I loved Ben Johnson's run game in Detroit before that.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: They mix in their gap and their zone schemes, and he.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Does such a good job of creating havoc with gaps.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: And so it is going to be a whole other
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: test for this Seahawks defense. Now, they showed this last week, like, hey,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: we're at another level when it comes to stopping the
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: run here with the dark side. But this is going
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: to be the stiffest test they face all year in
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: terms of trying to slow down a run game, and
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: that is such a big part of what the Bears
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: do offensively, and it fits with Caleb Williams' mobility. in
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: the run game as well at the quarterback position. And
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: that just makes them a major problem to deal with
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: when they're humming.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I I'm curious what that offense with, I mean, it's,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: if you just want to, and you nerd out with
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: this stuff, I mean, this is, this is as good a,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: a matchup coaching wise as you could get, right. You've
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: got Ben Johnson, the offensive guru against Mike McDonald, the
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: defensive guru, right? Like, I mean, that is, is that's
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: as good as it gets. That's, that's, that's exactly what
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: you want to see.
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: This is the get your popcorn ready coaching matchup. It
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: really is.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: And you get two guys that it's funny because I
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: don't think anybody knew what Ben Johnson really was until
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: he became a head coach. But like you, you've got
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: a coach like Mike McDonald has bravado in his own way.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: But Ben Johnson, like you're certainly not going to hear
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: Mike McDonald say F the Packers or whatever in the
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: locker room. Like Ben Johnson's just got a he's got
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: a different type of bravado.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: In his team. His team plays that way.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: So both these coaches have their teams fully bought in
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: and they represent the coach that is at the head
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: of the sideline.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: I just I think this is going to be a
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: really fun matchup.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I'm very excited to see it from the coaching angle. I, I, it's,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I'll go back to the other side of the running
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: backs for a second. So Charbonnet, we expect to see
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: him this week, right? Enough's enough. He's going to play.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: He's got to play this week.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: I think that they were just, Hey, look, you know, we're,
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: we're going to just play this out. We had to
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: put him on the roster because of legal rules. We're
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: going to, we're going to let him get another full
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: week of practice. But I think when you've had two
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: full weeks of full participant practice, at practice. And just,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: I'm just telling you for my eye test and being
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: a guy that knows running backs and haven't played the position,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: like he looks ready to me when, when I've watched
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: him run through the gauntlet and some of the other stuff,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: like he looks ready to play. And that was one
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: and a half, two weeks ago when I saw that.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: So I expect that he's going to be out there.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: And I think Jadarian Price could be potentially out there
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: after only returning to practice for a few days because
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: of the injury he's coming off of. It's not like
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: he's coming off of a knee injury like Charbonnet is.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: A chest issue, if it's healed, he's been running, you
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: can get that guy up.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: To speed much quicker.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: So they could have both their guys potentially on Monday night.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: It's going to be absolutely huge in so many ways.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: What did you make of the 49ers trade for Buckner?
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah. That was a really, really good secondary trade to
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: follow up with the Seahawks did with, with Quentin Nelson.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: And those guys were teammates. Now they're going to be
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: going against each other. I think that that was exactly what.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: The 49ers needed to do.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Now, maybe they go out and look for some receiving
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: help because the injuries they've got at that spot. I
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised if San Francisco makes another move here
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: before the deadline, but, uh, As.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: The saying goes, the best come to the NFC West, man.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: The arms races that they have in this division, they
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: just don't do them better in any other division than
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: the NFC West.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about podcasts and Emerald City Spectrum, my friend.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Seahawks triple option. We're rolling six, seven days a week.
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: Robert Turbin, Rob Rang, myself.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Nick Lee has been jumping on once or twice a
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: week with us as well, and he does a fantastic job.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: And, man, we're having a blast.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: 45 minutes every single show, so it's a little bit
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: more in-depth than what we did when we were with
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Locked On. So if you're into the X's and O's
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: and a little bit more in-depth analysis, we've got you covered. YouTube,
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts. run
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks triple option with us.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I'd go back and take a listen last night as well. Uh,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: significant move. And, uh, I guess we can just go ahead. Look,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: we get the, uh, the bronze, uh, you know, face
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and statue made up for Schneider right now for the
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: hall of fame at some point. I mean, this guy
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: just keeps pulling it off, doesn't he?
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: He does.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: And I really mentioned it last night on the pod, man. I,
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: what really separates.
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: Him is these trade deadline moves.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: He is just, he is on another level when you
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: look at what he's done. And this is, this is
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: not just a four-year run in that regard. Like think
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: about even when he's traded players away, how Russell Wilson,
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: DK Metcalf, Gino Smith, how those moves have worked. Like
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: when it comes to trading, like if I was another
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: general manager of John Schneider's calling, it's not disrespectful, but
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: I'm not, I'm not picking up.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Like I'm not. Yeah.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, your assistant comes in. John Schneider from Seattle is
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: on line one. Yeah, that's fine. That's good. Just tell
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: him I'm not here. I'm having lunch.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: That's exactly what I would do.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I got stuff going on right now, and it includes
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: not talking to John Schneider is what it is.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: And not getting stolen from.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Great stuff. We'll talk to you soon. Thanks, Corbin.
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: Thanks, Ian.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: That's Corbin Smith, Emerald Sea Spectrum, CX Triple Option Podcast.

• 19:17
  Speaker 2: the talkbacks as well on 93.3 KGRFM.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Back to Ian Furness on your home for the Huskies, Kraken,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and the 12th man. Brought to you by Seattle's closest
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Snoqualmie Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: I don't know how Schneider keeps finding these monsters of
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: dudes with a heart of gold. I mean, Leonard Williams
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: is a teddy bear in real life, but he will
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: maul you on the field. And now Nelson has a
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: compilation video of absolutely pancaking dudes and then immediately apologizing
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: to make sure they're okay.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: We got another fan favorite coming to the door right now.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: All righty. Let's see.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: 49451.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: 206. Ian, why are those shows accusing you of chasing?
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I don't think anyone else is accused.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: That said, no one has taken Thursday Night Football, Panthers, Packers.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: No, no.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Greg and Jess did. And they're right.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: We've said it out loud.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Greg and Jess were right. That's good scouting
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: on their part.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: I do chase.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: But I haven't chased yet this week.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we even said we're not chasing this week. We
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: chased last week and we chased another time.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Hasn't worked.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Hasn't worked at all.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: It's not been a lot.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Look at our record. It has not worked, this whole
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: chasing thing.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: We should have chased on Monday.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Should have definitely chased on Monday. Let's see. Could Bradford
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: play center?
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: No.
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: The answer's no.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: The answer's no. He's not playing center. The Haynes one was...
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: They've tried Haynes at center, like in training camp, taking snaps. Stevens,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I think, did this year as well. Richmond, Cable Dew
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: over the last couple of years.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Cable Dew.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Hard to believe Hanrahan's wife from Slapshot is the mom
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: from Christmas Story.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I think she just passed away, too.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen Christmas Story.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: It's true.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: That's why I was pointing out earlier, it's a miracle
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: I've seen Slapshot. Did not grow up in a house
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: where we watched a lot of movies.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Because Christmas Story is the one with the BB gun, right?
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I believe so, yes, and the lamp.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: The leg lamp. Yeah, you haven't seen that?
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: I've never seen it. And I know there's like a
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: marathon of it every year on some channel.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. God, there's a ton of Slapshot stuff in here.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Best seen is Slapshot is when they're in the bar
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: watching the soap opera. That was actually, that was pretty funny.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Which one?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: They're in the bar. It's when Paul Newman, Reggie Dunlop
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: sets up the writer for this fake story on the
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: sale of the team. But they're like, it's an after
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: practice or an off day. And the entire team's like
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: in this dump of a bar in Charleston. Like, just
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: not dump of a bar, just like a dive bar downtown.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: And on the small TV screen up front, it's like
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: middle of the day. It's like all my children up
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: there or something like that.
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see, Dave's a mess. You're right. God, there's another
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: great line. It's one of those movies that has great
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: lines in it. 206. We played the Ernie Johnson stuff earlier. Yeah.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: My first thought was Ernie's announcement. He won't do a
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Sonics game. So freaking sad.
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, man.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: That's kind of why we played it.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Although I will say he did say he's not done.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: He's done with NBA.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Inside the NBA.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: But he's still going to be involved in basketball things.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: You never know where he might come back.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: Correct.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: So I think he's just done with the every single
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: day grind.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: And I get that.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: It's a lot. Back to our college football talk from earlier.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: My thoughts are if DeMond starts and we do manage
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: to run the table, I don't think we'll get as
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: much upside from the committee as if we stick with
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Brown and we run the table and then they can
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: judge Washington more on the last half of the season
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: as opposed to the beginning when they had a different quarterback.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: The key here is you still got to run the table.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: I'm really intrigued to see who starts on Saturday. I
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: hope it's Elijah Brown. It's got to be Brown, isn't it?
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, you've got to give him a chance, right?
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: You looked better when he was in the game, and
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: I would say that's not a knock on DeMond Williams,
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: but it is.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: He has not looked good, and he's.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: Getting paid $ 4. 5 million or whatever, $ 4 million. So I'd
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: rather have him being paid $ 4 million to sit on
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: the bench than $ 4 million to not perform on the field.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, paying $ 4 million to suck.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: God, that was such a bad investment.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: And that's the thing is they were just in– Between
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: a rock and a hard place, right? Because you can't
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: let him walk. You can't set that precedent.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, but I think they kept him. I think
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: they also did it because they thought he was good.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I really do, Ash. I think that's the case.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think they thought he was good.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Especially, I don't think they thought he was going to
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: be as disappointing as he's been this year at all.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: But they also didn't think the O-line was going to
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: be as disappointing as it's been this year.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: That was supposed to be one of the biggest improvements.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of factors involved. I was listening to
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Mario yesterday, and he was.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: I love Mario.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: I love him, too. He's one of the nicest human
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: beings on the planet. But, you know, as he was saying,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: he's like, yeah, man, like, if I'm a receiver, I
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: don't want to see DeMond. I want to see Elijah Brown. Period.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: End of story. And this is going to be a
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: true test of today's college football. Because everything financially says
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: you have to start DeMond Williams Jr.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Everything football-wise says you don't have to start.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: And I just think this is where, yeah, you're right.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: This is a true test of it. But I think
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: your program's already underperformed this year. You've got to go
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: with somebody that at least has put a spark into
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: the offense.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: And you're going down to Nebraska, which is a tough test.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get to it. Factor Fiction.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: We're set to go.
• 24:49

  Speaker 2: taken yet. Really? So it hasn't been.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: Really? I'm looking at it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  Speaker 2: I'd love to get a nine or nine and a
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: half on this.

• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I can get a 10. Okay. I got a 10.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Okay. A 10.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: I got a minus 10. I got a favored by 10.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Okay. Based on our conversation earlier with our friend Ross Tucker,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: based on what has happened over the last couple of days.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: What could still happen? We're not even halfway through the week.
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: Good point.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: The Colts are playing at Jacksonville. The Jags. Colts are
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: playing at Jacksonville. Why does it say 11 a.m.? Oh, well.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Colts are playing at Jacksonville.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, is it a... No, because they're not overseas again.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: No, it's... My settings for this are on.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Whatever.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Because it switches over. We have daylight savings time.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, duh.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Colts are playing at the Jaguars. Jacksonville's favored by 10.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Colts just got rid of their best offensive lineman. They
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: weren't good with him. They got rid of their best
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: defensive lineman. They weren't good with him. Jags are good.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: They're coming off a bye week.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: They're going to be well-rested.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville minus 10. Fact. 49451.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: This is the crazy thing.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: We were talking about this earlier, and I accidentally said
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: Bengals instead of Jaguars, but the Jaguars defense was available
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: in one of my fantasy football leagues, and I went
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: and picked them up.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: I was like, I'm sorry. Wait a minute.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Because you threw me off with that one, by the way.
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I know.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: I didn't mean to.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: No, that's fine. Because I don't think they're available in
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: my league.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: It's because I picked up the Bengals in a different league.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: That's why.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: And then I got confused, but I was like, wait
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: a minute, Jaguars against the Colts. And that's still just
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: sitting there.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: This is important stuff. I got to check and see.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Cause for some reason I'm sure they're not available.
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: Oh no.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: It was only in one in my other.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Do you ever get, do you ever get the Panthers
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: and the Jags mixed up? I don't know.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: No, apparently I get the Bengals and the Jags.

  Speaker 5: and just thinks you know what we've made some decisions
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: i don't know that this is worth.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Including a Seahawks former John Schneider lieutenant who just handed
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: John Schneider Quentin Nelson.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: But then he turned around and gave Buckner to San Francisco.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: So any collusion is out the door there.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I think she's taking notes this week. It's who else
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: can we trade?
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I think you're right.
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah.

  Speaker 2: I'm hoping they trade somebody else between now and Sunday.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, me too.

• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville minus 10 against Indianapolis.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: Fact, 4-9-4-5-1.

  Speaker 2: This is a lock. I'm going to tell you right now,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: we don't say it too often, lock this one up.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville is going to crush Indianapolis. One team is good.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: One team is playing for the lottery. Worst thing is
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: they don't even have an automatic number one quarterback pick
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: in the draft next year. That doesn't exist anymore.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: That is bad, yeah.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: That doesn't exist.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: That's rough for them.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Yep. That's too bad. Life is rough. 49451. Text in

• 29:44
  Speaker 3: like somebody you want on your football team.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. He was a long snapper for a
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: year once at Bellevue. But he's not a Mahler in
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: terms of like Anthony Bradford or Quentin Nelson. Not a
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Mahler like that.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: No, sir.

  Speaker 2: He'll join us next.

  Speaker 3: Go team.

  Speaker 2: All righty then. All righty then.
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: All righty then. With your TV face on.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: It's not on yet. That's just his natural good looks.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: That takes hours. That's just his natural looks right there.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: That takes hours, my friend. You know that.
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: This is the before and the after coming up here.
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: That takes hours and hours. Before and way before.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Hours and hours to get this thing done.
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: You have like a kit, like a makeup kit?
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: Right there.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: You apply that yourself or is there a makeup person?
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: She taught me how.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: Does it look like a Halloween kit? Like you've got
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: some fake blood.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: It's a great idea, by the way.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: I think so.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: It's a hell of an idea, man.
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: You should put a Halloween costume on. Dress up as
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: an American.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, he would have the hardest time with that because
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: then he couldn't say A and tomorrow.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: I thought there was something else inside there. Man, that's gross.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Put that away.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: I don't want to see that. God, gross. Get it
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: away from me. Nasty.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Makeup, ew.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: I got a little something-something I use every now and
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: then if I'm going with Sylvie and those guys or whatever,
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: but I don't even know what it is.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: So years ago- It's just a thing that I put
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: on my face. Yeah. It's a fake nose.
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: It's a great idea.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nose glasses.
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: Great idea.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: We were at, we were doing some sort of, it's
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: a funny thing, it's a promo that never ran on
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Fox 13. I remember we had to be downtown on
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: that condo unit.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: You were there, Fane was there.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: And they were doing this big shoot.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Like six o'clock at night.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: At dusk.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Lumen Field in the background.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: And the guy says to me, he goes.
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: Curtis was there.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He goes, hey, does Softie have any makeup?
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: No.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: But remember what I did? I gave you a little dusting. Yeah,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: you did.
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: I did. Hey, man, you know what? People got a
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: problem that I look like Pee Wee Herman.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I can't help it. Don't blame me.
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: All you.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: I never thought you looked like Pee Wee Herman.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: Do not blame me.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I never thought that about you. I really didn't. All
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: they want to do is take the glow off. They
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: just want to take the shine off.
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, I am who I am.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: I just don't want you to blind listeners with your forehead.
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: You got a problem with me. I got a problem
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: with you. I got a problem with everybody. I got
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: a problem with everybody.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: What was the name of the guy from Q13 that
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: said that about me? What's his name? He's an ugly bastard.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Well, actually, he is.
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: Fat, too, by the way.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: He's not fat.
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: Probably broke. And his wife hates him. Oh, wow.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: All those things are true. The oddest thing, though, is
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: we spent all that time down there. They never ran
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: the promo. I saw it a couple times on TV. Yeah,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: a couple times. I think they may have run it
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: on their web stream or something.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Limited people would see it.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, totally.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: They probably were like, you know what? Maybe we shouldn't
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: put this out to the masses.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: They saw Ian Curtis and Softie and go, nope.
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: Are we going to win tonight, by the way? I've
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: got to make some money. I've got to pay off
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: some debts. We going to win tonight? Cracking?
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: You know what? You're useless. Are you in betting? Anybody
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: who's on the broadcast team.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a.
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: Don't ask me.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: There's a thing about that.
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: You talk about it on the air now.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I don't say who's going to win.
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: What are you talking about?
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: I don't say who's going to win.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: Polymarket, Kalshi, FanDuel, DraftKings, MGM.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I don't do any of those things for hockey.
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: That's another one. That's how they're doing here, man.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Hockey facts are fiction.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: My God.
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: Everybody's talking about all these betting services. And I ask
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: you guys about a tip on a game and you
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: pee yourself. Ask me.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: I'll give you a tip.
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: Who wins tonight?
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Kraken.
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: Kraken win?
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: All right, straight up?
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, 4-3.
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: Gotcha.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: What are the odds?
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I haven't looked them up yet. I
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: just want to know what the hell's going on.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: 7-1.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: Thank you, by the way, for giving me some advice.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: If they win 7-1, I'm going to have no voice tomorrow.
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: By the way, you do know why I asked Ian
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: his take on the game and betting?
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Because they're on the broadcast?
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: I just go the opposite because they're always wrong. Oh,
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: that's smart. Every single time. That's a record show.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: We've never given him betting advice on the NHL.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: That is a lie. Gary's not true. We've never done that.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: He did not tell you.
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: He slipped me a private note last week with all
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: the odds for the upcoming homestand.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: You did a great job on the broadcast.
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: I'm the Husky broadcast, am I not? Saturday in Lincoln?
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: Ask me about the Huskers in the seven and a half.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: I think they're going to cover.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Was that that hard?
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: Was that that hard? Does the NGAA make you sign
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: stuff before the season? They're more of a Gestapo than
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: the NHL. You know that. Although they don't have as
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: much teeth as they do.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I think that's the issue.
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: I'll be on the sideline talking to Elyse about the
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: upcoming drive. You know what, Elyse? It's two to one.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: The Huskies get a three here. Let's go for it.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Is Nebraska, can you download the old?
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: You might be able to, yeah.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: I know you can in Oregon.
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: When I get out there, the first thing I do
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: when I land, I will download the app.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: FoundU or whatever.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: MGM, I will see if I can make a wager
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: on the Cornhuskers and Huskies.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: So when you go down to Oregon for the game
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: in Eugene.
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: Oh, I can't wait. Can't wait.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: You'll be live betting on the sideline?
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: I got to tell you, man, the idea of the
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: Huskies going down there and getting a win is kind
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: of in play now. They may not give a damn, honestly.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: They're a disaster.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: They've got players getting arrested. Coaches are getting arrested.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: And fired.
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: And fired, okay? They've got guys that are looking to
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: get the hell out or planning for the next NIL deal.
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: The ROI is the worst in America. They were No. 2,
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: and now they're like No.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: 90.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: It's a disaster down there. And I feel terrible. Don't you?
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: I tried a little bit about it last night.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: I whimpered to sleep.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: So they're a disaster. Ohio State's going to go in
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: with a third-string quarterback in L.A. and just kick Lincoln
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: and Riley's ass all over the place. He might get
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: tarmacked if they do that, by the way. Did you
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: see Lincoln's latest quote.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: By the way?
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: No, it was probably stupid.
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: I'm best for USC, and USC is best for me.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: I'm so hard to like.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: I did see he had a comment where he said,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: I made a lot of sacrifices to come here.
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, $ 75 million.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: What sacrifice have you made?
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: You know, the one word that comes up the most
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: about him when I talk to people that know him
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: and work with him is child. Turd. Child. Turd child, actually.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: Turd child, yeah. Yes, child of turd.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: That makes sense.
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: Like father poop and child.
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Seems like father poop, mother poop, and big baby poop.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: All right. That's a lot of poop. That's exactly it, man.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: Baby poop.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Our USC alum in there, when we were talking to Mandel,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: and I said, what happens if USC blows them out?
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: And that's what he said. He didn't say tarmac, but
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: he said that.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: And Ashley was just like, I was fist pumping like
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: I'm Arsenio Hall.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Ohio State blows out USC.
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: That's like the last thing they want down there.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: If Ohio State blows out, and she's like.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: I was fist pumping like Arsenio Hall.
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: I just wonder if it's going to be one of
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: those Willingham situations where folks are actually rooting against them
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: now down there. Please lose.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Is that the only coach you've rooted against?
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: My friends and I are.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: Lincoln?
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No.
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: Willingham?
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Willingham.
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: At UW.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: At UW?
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: You say Lincoln for USC?
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: You're asking me, have I ever rooted for a UW
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: coach to lose?
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, actually, no, there's been a lot.
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: So the guy can get fired. Yeah. Is that what
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: you're asking me? Yeah, because Willingham was that way, right? Oh, yeah,
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: by the start of the 2008 season. Well, I mean,
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: I told you my biggest regret, two of my biggest
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: regrets in this business, two of them. Number one, wanting
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: Lou Piniella fired after the 99 season. And he made
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: the playoffs the next year and won 116 games the
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: year after that.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: And then endorsing Tyron Willingham to return after the 2007 season.
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: We're 4-9. We lost to Hawaii in Hawaii. And they
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: were bringing in Cavario Middleton. Jermaine Curse, Alameda Ta'amu, pretty
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: good recruiting class. It's like he's got something going on here.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: And then right down the toilet in 2008. To answer
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: your question, I don't think so. No, I think he
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: was the only guy that I actively.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: My only one at Wazoo was Ernie Kent. And it
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: was his last year, probably three or four games in
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: the conference schedule, and like, We're done. Nothing matters at
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: this point. Just please go away.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin, Clay Helton, Lincoln Riley.
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: USC's got a long list. Is that three in a row,
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: by the way?
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: No, because it went Lane Kiffin, Sark.
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: I didn't have to wish for Sark to be fired.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: He did that on his own.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: He was good about that.
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: Well, you know the game that broke the camel's back.
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: For Sark, it was our game, 2015. Miles Gaskin ran
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: all over him. And then he went nuts. And he
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: got fired.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: A lot of things that happened there.
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: And here he is in Texas, about to get maybe fired.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: And you're going down to Nebraska.
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: Going to Lincoln Friday night. Haven't been there in 28 years.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Is Tom Osborne still coaching? No, he's a politician now. Okay, good.
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: It's a guy named Matt Rule. You may have heard
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: of him, by the way.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard of him. All right, what do you
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: got coming up today?
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: What do you think? Huskers in seven and a half.
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: You can talk about that one, can't you? Why don't
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: you bring that up on the pregame show today?
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: If I knew who the quarterback was for Washington, if
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: it was Elijah Brown, I said I'm going to take Washington.
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: Washington covers with Elijah Brown. Demond, no chance. Not a chance.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, your own honk said he can't see over
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: the line. They made fun of him yesterday.
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: Ian's finally giving betting advice.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Only on the NCAA.
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: Not on hockey. hockey. What's today? Wednesday, Mike Florio, the
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: butthole himself, will be here at 310. Petros at 4.
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: Speaking of USC hate, my God. I think there's only
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: one person that hates USC more nationally, and it's Petros.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Correct, and that's one of my favorite things to listen to.
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: He'll join us at 4 o'clock today, watch some crap
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: all over Lincoln Riley, or what's his name? Baby Poop?
