  Speaker 2: Smith of Emerald City Spectrum joining us in about a
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: few moments, right in the wake of the Brian Florey
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: press conference, of course, introduced as new offensive coordinator of
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks, and we've got questions Golord for me, including
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: where does this take the Seahawks and the Kenneth Walker,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the third direction and all those loose ends right now
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: still hanging up, and where he wants to take this
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: offense as well. Checking in from Marini Supreme Training. Chuck Powell,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the world famous Chuck Powell, will be joining us at
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: about one point thirty ever it fits. He's also in
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the house here for more crack inside of matters at
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: one forty five for the daily power Play, and also
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: goaltender Joey to court. He's got to be feeling like
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: he's living large here for his team USA friends. He'll
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: be joining us as well two o'clock on our conversation
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: re quarterback from downstairs back in the Crack and restroom
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: here at Crack In Community ice Plex says it's kind
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: of emptying a little bit more out right now. Everyone
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: got their Jimmy's here from this win the Team USA again,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: the women's cy clinching gold medal for the first time
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: since twenty eighteen, and my goodness, chess, a lot of
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Seattle touring crack In Jersey's galore here. This is just
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: why I love this. This this sports landscape is awesome
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: and it's got something for everybody here and again I
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: want to encourage if you have not had a chance
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: to see the Torrent yet. It's not just Hillary night,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: but there's also several players here for Team USA and
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: also across the border in the Olympics. I think one
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: example is Hannah Bilka plays with just an incredible amount
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: of speed, but they're virtually there for your eyes any
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: day by just simply buying a ticket. Right back over
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I climb the Pledge Arena and they're going to be
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: coming back home with a golden medal. I think a
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: great feather in their cap, so to speak here for
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: what they just did in the Winter Olympics.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: It's amazing and the way that this I know that
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: there were some concerns right when we found out as
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: this city is first embracing the Kraken and it takes
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: a long time. There's still a young organization even though
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: they were embraced so well to adopt a women's hockey
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: team as well, and they have just been crushing it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a nice bridge and I think into
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: hockey matters and what we'll see maybe for the baseball
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: side of it, because the Mariners just put on a
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: show here for this city just this last fall. The
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Seahawks has put on an absolute show for the ages
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: for this city about two weeks ago. And we're really
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: really getting into incredible times right now in the Emerald
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: City with what we're experiencing in the sports landscape. It
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter where and what corner. I mean, there is
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: just something for everybody right now and something that just
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: leaves you here with a smile. And I mean, who
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: could say this about, you know, roughly ten years ago.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: But for the Seahawks, they have their sale right now
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: pending that's a course official, and I think for many
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: who are still concerned of what could happen with them.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Of course, there are questions which are certainly valid. We
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: cover a lot of this here on the show yesterday
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: and again four nine, four or five one. You got
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: more concerns about what's happening here with the sale, go
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: ahead and shine in here with us. We'll get to
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: your text here later on. But I did want to
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: open the floor as far as the newest matter on
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the field here with Brian Florey introduced as new offensive
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: coordinator as Corbins joins us in a matter of moments here,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: But go ahead, I want to approach this topic here
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: for talkbacks and again fine ninety three three Kjar and
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio App hit the red mic icon, record your
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: thoughts and we'll air him on the on the show
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: here later on, coming up in the two o'clock hour.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: But I'm really really curious with Brian Flurry and the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: continuity that he will bring with Klint Kubiak out the door.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Do you think this helps the chances of Kenneth Walker
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: the third staying even more here in Seattle. I like
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: to hear from you on the talk back side of this,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: so again, hit us up iHeartRadio App. Ninety three three
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Kjar hit the red mic icon thirty seconds or less.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: It is that easy boom, You're done. You're on the show.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: A little bit later on here coming up in the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: two o'clock hour, also text line Texas right now four
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: nine four five one to Komadaj text line Brian Flury
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: if you think this will help the chances of K
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: nine staying here in the Emerald City and four one.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: We should also let people hear from the man himself,
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: because I'm sure Softy asked him about. That's gonna be
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: a great one here tonight.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's also going to be appointment listening here, So
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: we'll go ahead and stick around here for this. Of course,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Safti and Dick Fan will have Brian Floury on the
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Beacon Plumbing hotline coming up at three twenty and a
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: nice central conversation here, but a lot of important pressing
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: matters here to get to as a few matters hanging
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: up right now in the year for the Seahawks, not
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: just off the field, but definitely on the field with
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: where they go with plenty of free ations. So before
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Corven Smith here gets to us, Brian Florey about an
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: hour ago introduced to the media here in Seattle. I
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: think for him, the question for the Seahawks is have
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: they gained the next big, unproven thing. And I think
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: when you look at who he worked with, the Kyle
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Shanahan coaching tree has continued to multiply here in the NFL.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: He Worres hand in hand with him, but he was
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: often involved with Shanahan's play calling decisions, which is certainly
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: a plus. But can Floory prove that all this here
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: is happening because he has to know how to call
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: plays and even though there is no experience, he just
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: needs a chance to exercise and put into play what
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: he knows. I mean, you tell me four nine four
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: or five to one? And can he rely on other
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: coaches inside of this organization here to help him with
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: a learning curve and to combat the ultimate speed bump
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: again sim which is an experience. I mean, it's almost
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: kind of like any walk of life type of thing
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: where if you come in brand new job, brand new settings,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: brand new desk, brand new co workers, brand new colleagues
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: as well, you're gonna be asking a lot of questions here.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: And there's a different way I think of how the
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Seahawks are doing things, and I think the alura playing
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: for a champion brings you in, but you're no longer
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: doing this year with Kyle Shanahan. You're getting used to
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: those like Mike McDonald. Sam Donald certainly helps us well too,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: but I think how much he can really I think
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: drop the ego, not that maybe there is any here,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: but to be the guy in the room, to not
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: be afraid to ask questions because where questions come, Jess,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: there is more information coming.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: Completely agree, and we are almost joined by Corbyn Smith.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Hang tight, yep, So Corbin Smith is joining us here
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: in just a little bit here from Emerald City Spectrum
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: and again four nine four five one Brian Floory with
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: what he's going to bring here to this offense, there's
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: not much change from what he said in the press
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: conference earlier today. And the one word that we heard
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: associated with Mike McDonald and the rugged approach Brian Florey
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: mentioned again here in this press conference and it's violence,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: control violence, if you will. So not much change over
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: and Cotton knew what he certainly helps, but I think
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: maybe is this a is is this also a surprise
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: based on who was also interviewed here for this process
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: because there are plenty of assumptions that this would be
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: an internal hire, and did the Seahawks make the right
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: to sit in hiring an outside guy versus somebody who
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: was maybe familiar with Mike McDonald and his staff and
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: his players as well from this last season. Well, Brian
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Floury has now been brought on as the new guy
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: from the outside, and one of our good friends who
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: have to talk about this joins us now on the Beacon
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Plumbing Hotline. Real Famous Corbyn Smith Emerald City Spectrum also
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: locked on Seahawks. Corbin, Hello, Hi, happy Thursday. How are
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: you man? I'm great, Thanks for having me anytime. I
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: loved your call him, by the way, recently called the
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Great Unknown. We'll get to the Brian Floory stuff in
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: just about a matter of moments, Corbyn. But I mean
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: we're about now a day processing here from this sale
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: pending becoming official. I mean, what's been going through your
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: head about all this series and they officially went up
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: for sale.
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: Well, we all knew that this was going to happen.
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: Eventually, and the reporting that came out a couple of
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: weeks ago, Yeah, they came out initially, well, the team
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: is not for sale, but they didn't say two weeks
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: from now because it's currently not for sales. So none
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: of this should come into surprise. This has been imminent
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: really since Paul Allen's passing, and they just decided that
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: this was the ideal time to get this done. And
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: as I mentioned the colin that you cited, like Seahawks fans,
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: a lot of the younger Seahawks fans may not remember
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: the mid nineties, but you know, that's thirty years ago.
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: It's been it's been thirty years since they had equipment
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: going down to Anaheim, and it looked like the Seahawks
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: are gonna be relocating. And so this really is the
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: first time in thirty years that there's been this right unknown, Hey,
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: we're gonna We're gonna be owned by another family, and
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: just the success that the Allen family had transforming the
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: Seahawks into one of the NFC's powers in the last
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: twenty nine years. There's obviously gonna be some there's gonna
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: be some skepticism, concerns of fans. You know, what, what
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: does this look like? Mike McDonald's today was saying, hey,
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: this has a change for day to day operations. We're
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: still gonna do things the way that we do things.
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: But I know when the new owner finally purchased the team,
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: there's gonna be questions about how involved that owner is
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: state's stay operations. I think that's one of the things
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: that the Allens such a good job of is not
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: middling with things too much.
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: Let the football people.
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: Do their jobs. That's gonna be the biggest key for
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: sustained success under.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: A new regime.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Onto today's press conference, and it seems like not much
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: will be changing as far as the basic game plan.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: But what's your initial impressions here of Brian Florey taking
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: over as ECAY.
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: I love to hire. I know a lot of fans
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: were kind of wondering why did they hire? Internally, they
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: interviewed for their own coaching candidates that were on the
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: staff last year, and Mike McDonald decided to go a
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: different direction, and there were a lot of fans that
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: were wondering, well, what about the continuity that he was
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: wonning Well, this was as much continuity as you were
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: gonna get. But Brian flirt is coached with Clint Kubiak.
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: He's been in the Shanahan style offense for seven years
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: in San Francisco. He had a pass relationship with John Bett.
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: He's got a pass relationship with Anna Darnold. Those two
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: were together in San Francisco in twenty twenty three, and
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: a couple of the assistants of the staff away from
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: John Benton have had exposure to Brian Fleury.
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: So from a.
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: Continuity standpoint, this was as good as the Seahawks were
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: going again. And he was on their radar last year
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: when they ultimately hired Lay Kubiak, So I was not
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: surprised at all that they went this direction, and it
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: really does check off the continuity box a lot, moving
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: fans a date with an external hire.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: There's risk in letting Kenneth Walker the third take a
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: look maybe at the open market. But I mean, Corbyn,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: we all know that John Schneider isn't the franchise tags
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: as much as that you dubbed gifts is to selling
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: cougar merchandise es. Sorry by the way, uh whatever, Ian
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Also sorry if you're listening here, but Corbyn did did
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: today help with any concerns you think with K nine
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: and the Hawks finding middle ground here on a brand
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: new deal.
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: I still think they're going to get something done. I
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: think John Schneider understands the importance of the run game
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: and booking the coaching hires that Madiar Brian Florin was
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: a rudgame co coordinator. It's San Francisco last year. He's
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: a former tight ends coach. Like running the football is
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: a huge clinical is what his philosophy is, as is
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: Mike McDonald, which is why they're a great fit. They're
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: gonna be bringing a new running back coach, Thomas Hammock,
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: who's been a head coach at Northon Illinois last seven years,
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: be as they would run the oriented coach. I just
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: don't I think it would be an interesting dynamic if
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: they decided, well, we're gonna like Kenny Walker a third
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: walk and we're not going to bring it back. With
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: all the moves they made as bestal with Zack Charbonay,
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: Miche the Mess and Deithan Chunk of the twenty twenty
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: six season coming back from a torn ACL I think
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: that eight to nine million a year rage is probably
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: the sweet spot, but I think the moves they've made
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: suggested that's being prioritized. I would be surprised if they're
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: not bringing.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Back Ted Walker's third Do you think the picture became
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: more clear today with what they may do here for
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: a quarterbacks coach?
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: That is the one position coach that I'm still wondering about.
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: Because Daniel Stern was brought in from the Raven staff
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: and Mike McDonald worked within there Baltimore, He's been a
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: assistant quarterback coach. I wondered with Chudoko leaving for Vegas,
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: that is Daniel Stern going to be the guy? Well,
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: Mike McDonald did not hit it that today, So does
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: that mean that Tyson Prenty was their assistant QB coach who,
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: by the way, I interviewed him before the Super Bowl.
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: What a young, young coaching candidate that that kid is.
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: I'm excited to see what his neutrals. Maybe the Seahawks
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: len imbed the quarterback coach this upcoming season, but maybe
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: they haven't made that higher yet. It sounds like they're
• 19:09
  Speaker 9: still sorting through stuff.
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: That is the one position coach that it seems like
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: we still have some question mark coming out of today.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Pfort how much I think you made touched on this
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: a little bit earlier here, but to you, how much
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: does lack of experience here for this job matter in
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: this role, despite how much that he's gained elsewhere in
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: previous stops.
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: You know, if you would have asked me this question
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: two or three years ago, I would have been saying
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: this is this is a big brand flag. The guy
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: hasn't been a play caller at any level, but he
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: has been a defensive and special teams coordinator at the
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: college level, so he's got some experience in that regard.
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: And we've seen a lot of coaches like the Ben
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: Johnson's of the world who have that been play callers
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: that had their opportunity and they were able to step
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: in and be successful because of the background that they
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: head coaching a variety of different positions. So Mike mcdonne
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: will say today it's kind of an overrated thing. I
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: don't know if that's how I would sum it up,
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: but I think that there are so many other factors
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: that go into being a coordinator and preparing to be
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: a coordinator, and all those boxers are checked off from
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: Brian Flurry in my opinion, So I think he's got
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: everything set in place now to be ready for.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: This opportunity to miss a sim right now. Already. It
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: is George Kittle down in Santa Clara right now. Is
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Corbyn Smith joining us right now on the Beacon Plumbing hotline.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Corbyn here for the last few moments that we have
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: you back to on field matters to you, is Seattle
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: done with the Reek Wollen.
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: That that, to me is one of the biggest quest
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: to marks going into this free agent period. It really
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: depends what the market looks like for other teeth. If
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: the Seahawks can bring him back at eight, nine, ten
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: million per year, I think that they'd be willing to
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: open the checkbook up if other teams are throwing fifteen
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: or sixteen million at him. I don't think Josh Sneider
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: is just gonna do that. So this is really going
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: to boil down to what that quarterback market looks like.
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: You can say the same with Josh Job to a
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: varying degree as well. I expect one of those players
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: is going to be back. But this is a pretty
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: deep cornerback draft class that could play into how much
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: money teams are willing to best.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: It's just.
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: For me, this is a head and tails coins flip
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: when you're looking at Rekwulling. Depending on what the market
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: looks like.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, his name's out there, Rashid Shahee, they got to
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: get him done. Kobe Bryant as well. But I'll throw
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: this one more name out to you here. And depending
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: upon who you ask, there's talk elsewhere about boy of
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Mafe being courted by the Pats. Could be a he
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: be a fit for the Ravens, the Chiefs, the Bears,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: et cetera. But to you, what's the hurdle the Seahawks
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: to clear with him?
• 22:01
  Speaker 10: You think, well, that's another one where it really boils
• 22:05
  Speaker 10: down to what you're willing to pay, and quite the
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: production just has not been there the last two years.
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: He had two sacks and four quarterback hits this year.
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: That to me does not warrant a big money deal.
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: But that he's young and every team is looking for
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: pass rushers, that's actually one that I'm leaning towards. It's
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: going to be much more likely that he's playing in
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: another uniform next year and the Seahawks go a different direction.
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: There's some good talent in this edge rushing class in
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: this draft as well. If he's available for one year,
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: proven deal and he doesn't have a great market, Seattle
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: could bring him back. I just don't think John Schnyder
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: is going to be investing a lot of money when
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: the player has not been overly productive in the last
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: two seasons.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: All right, he is a part of plenty of questions,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: but you've got answers. Corbin, you're awesome. Thank you again
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: here for joining us here in the wake of the
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Brian Floory press conference here, But tell us again where
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: folks can find your work again.
• 23:01

  Speaker 2: thanks very much. Can we'll get you back on here soon.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Appreciate you.
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: All right, Corbyn's been joining us here of Emerald City
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Spectrum is again we're still trying to put the pieces
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: together of Brian Floory as a new offensive coordinator. But again,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: give us your talkbacks here on this. Are you convinced
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: that Kenneth Walker the third is even likely here to
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: be entering this picture once again next year with Flory
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: running the show as the new OC. Also Texas four
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: nine four or five to one on the Tacoma Dodge
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: text line. Also with plenty of questions with the Mariners,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: what can Chuck Pal do to catch a current or
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: former Mariner? I am so so curious to ask this
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: because somebody risked it all catching a bullpen session with
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Andrey's Muonio. So I would not wish that. Oh my goodness,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I've seen. I've I've taken my kids down to the
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: pen before in the Mariner game and I stood behind
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: their bullpen catcher watching Munio swarm up. Yeah, I would
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: not wish that on my first enemy here. Chuck Pal
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: joins is the raptor this year ninety three three kerfim
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: for the Seattle Mariner, with screen training fully underway, everybody
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: giving it full goal before games get go in just
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: a matter of a few days, means Chuck Palell Bucky
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Jacob center back out there for fun of the Sun again.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Mike Benton filling in for Ian Fornest to day at
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: thirty two bar and grill without for the redo. Our
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: mister fun of the sun, mister sunshine as Chuck Powell
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: joining us right back in Peoria, Arizona. Chuck, Hi, Hello,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: how are you has the sun?
• 25:19
  Speaker 11: Hey?
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Look the sun is great. I mean it's a little
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: chillier than normal.
• 25:23
  Speaker 12: It's a little chilly in the shade where I am now,
• 25:26
  Speaker 12: But the sun when you get out there matches up perfectly.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: But you're at the thirty.
• 25:29
  Speaker 12: Two barn grill every day there sunshiny, perfect conditions.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Amazing. You just missed the party here about an hour
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: ago at USA winning the gold medal the women's side. Yeah, oh,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: you talk about it. It's a sunshine day. Was there
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: a bit of an eruption? Because we had one in
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: the cafeteria here during MJ's crossing, right during MJ's cross talk.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: And I was down there in the crack and dressing
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: room about an hour ago, and everybody was in that
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: room in their stall, still in their full gear, watching
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: on pins and needles. That was a theater of chef's kiss.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: I Hey, Chuck. A good friend of ours in the
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: media circle, Adam Jude caught Andre's Munos's bullpen. I believe
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: did Adam survive. He did survive. He did well. He
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: did well. Now I just got some treble baseball background
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: with yeah, for the kids, I want to say, right, yeah,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: And he I.
• 26:23
  Speaker 12: Think he coaches and I think he played when he
• 26:24
  Speaker 12: was younger as well. So he I mean, he knows
• 26:26
  Speaker 12: how to move like a catcher, there's no question about it.
• 26:31
  Speaker 12: And he was starting to get cute with the idea
• 26:34
  Speaker 12: of framing pitches and things of that nature, and so
• 26:37
  Speaker 12: that had people scared. But he got behind the plate
• 26:41
  Speaker 12: and he actually performed quite well.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 26:45
  Speaker 12: And yet when Munos threw, there was one pitch the
• 26:48
  Speaker 12: moon apparently it was a change up, and it hit
• 26:50
  Speaker 12: his thumb and inside the glove, but it hit the
• 26:55
  Speaker 12: you know, the the meat of the thumb, and you
• 26:58
  Speaker 12: could see the grimace on his face.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: And I don't think he quite.
• 27:00
  Speaker 12: Recovered from that because then there were a few pitches
• 27:03
  Speaker 12: he wanted to catch in the web to avoid the
• 27:06
  Speaker 12: thumb again, and they ended up just sailing completely over him.
• 27:09
  Speaker 12: And it's a good thing that they didn't hit him
• 27:11
  Speaker 12: in the neck or face or shoulder or something like that.
• 27:14
  Speaker 12: But no, he he did, he did fine, and it
• 27:18
  Speaker 12: was it was a nice little event. Everybody gathered around
• 27:20
  Speaker 12: to see it. Uh, and Munos took it easy on him,
• 27:23
  Speaker 12: I think at the beginning, UH, and then ramped it up.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: But it all worked out well. Chuck. If you can
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: pick one catch on res Munos's bullpen session and catch
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: ed when Diaz's bullpen session, or catch Randy Johnson in
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: his prime for a bullpen session, who's it gonna be.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, oh, pick your poison.
• 27:39
  Speaker 12: I'm gonna say, I think Diaz would probably be the
• 27:42
  Speaker 12: easiest one of the group.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll probably say he's the and Johnson the hardest.
• 27:47
  Speaker 11: So there you go.
• 27:48
  Speaker 12: H Gold medal to Johnson, h Silver medal to Munyos.
• 27:53
  Speaker 12: Diaz gets the bronze for catching pitch people pictures I
• 27:56
  Speaker 12: don't want to catch.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: And folks, you can just go back in gold Randy
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Johnson and seagull and that should tell you everything. Chuck
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Pal joining us here from Mariner Spreen training again. He
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: and Bucky are back again tomorrow six or ten am.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Right back there once again. Cal Rawley from earlier today,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: My goodness, every conversation with him sounds like it is
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: just full of golden nuggets. But what's the biggest takeaway
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: from meeting up with him.
• 28:21
  Speaker 12: Well, I think the first thing you get is that
• 28:23
  Speaker 12: he's still cal. He just has a little more on
• 28:25
  Speaker 12: his plate, a little more media attention, national media attention.
• 28:30
  Speaker 12: But in a lot of ways, he's still that kid
• 28:33
  Speaker 12: that we met six years ago when I bumped Bucky
• 28:36
  Speaker 12: and I said, oh, there's our catching prospect.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: That guy's supposed to be pretty good before he even.
• 28:40
  Speaker 12: Played a major league game, and he sat down with us,
• 28:43
  Speaker 12: didn't understand why we were interviewing him back then and
• 28:47
  Speaker 12: now here he is a legitimate, bonafide superstar, and it
• 28:52
  Speaker 12: really hasn't changed him. I mean, he's matured and he's
• 28:54
  Speaker 12: grown and he's more comfortable doing an interview, but he's
• 28:58
  Speaker 12: still kind of that same person. So that's what jumps
• 29:01
  Speaker 12: out to most of all. And then in terms of
• 29:04
  Speaker 12: just baseball stuff, I'm really interested in it sounds like
• 29:07
  Speaker 12: he is as well about how the challenge system is
• 29:10
  Speaker 12: going to be introduced and handled in Major League Baseball
• 29:14
  Speaker 12: this year, and he's kind of with me. He thinks
• 29:18
  Speaker 12: that there needs to be a strategy you better not
• 29:21
  Speaker 12: blow that challenge as a hitter with nobody on base
• 29:25
  Speaker 12: and the third inning on an O two count, you
• 29:28
  Speaker 12: better save it for run scoring opportunities. You need to
• 29:31
  Speaker 12: treat them as precious, and I think there might eventually
• 29:34
  Speaker 12: might evolve into we need to save them for run
• 29:38
  Speaker 12: scoring situations. With our best hitters, you only get two
• 29:41
  Speaker 12: of them. And then from a pitching catching standpoint, I
• 29:44
  Speaker 12: mean he was, I mean, he said, yeah, I think
• 29:48
  Speaker 12: that every pitcher's got the right to make a challenge,
• 29:51
  Speaker 12: but I think all the pitchers sort of trust cal
• 29:54
  Speaker 12: to the degree. I have a feeling that he might
• 29:57
  Speaker 12: be entrusted with all of them, all of the challenges
• 30:01
  Speaker 12: from the pitching staff. So we shall see, but that's
• 30:03
  Speaker 12: gonna be a fascinating element of twenty twenty six.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I got something for you here because I mean George Kirby,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: he's one of my most favorite series to watch on
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: this entire pitching staff, one of my favorites in baseball period.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I mean the stuff, the command, and then just the
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: meanness he has on the mound and you just have
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: that in your face stuff that guys like bum Gartner, Herscheiser,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Verlander possessed. But I mean, I'm not sure if you
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: heard what he said when it came to the ABS
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: system and what he's got to do to kind of
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: temper himself. But I mean, I think he's the likeliest
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: guy to nilatterally pull the challenge and tap the head
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: out of anybody on this staff. What about you?
• 30:40
  Speaker 12: Yeah, probably from the pitching staff, and then a rose
• 30:42
  Speaker 12: Arena is on the hitting side, and yet you don't know.
• 30:47
  Speaker 12: I mean, there might be marching orders like no, you
• 30:50
  Speaker 12: you're more emotional of a player, and you know you've
• 30:54
  Speaker 12: seen George run hot. They call him furious George for
• 30:56
  Speaker 12: a reason that might have to be stripped from them.
• 31:00
  Speaker 12: I mean, I'm sure there's going to be a benefit
• 31:02
  Speaker 12: of the doubt given early in the season, but I
• 31:06
  Speaker 12: think as the season goes along, I mean, I asked
• 31:08
  Speaker 12: Jerry Depoto on what their organizational philosophy is with the
• 31:13
  Speaker 12: challenge system at the beginning of the year, and he said,
• 31:15
  Speaker 12: anyone can challenge but Randy.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: That's what he told us.
• 31:18
  Speaker 12: And I think there was some tongue in cheek comedy
• 31:21
  Speaker 12: to it, but there was also some seriousness to it
• 31:23
  Speaker 12: because he's apparently experimented with it out here at spring
• 31:27
  Speaker 12: and he's missing every single time where cal Raley when
• 31:30
  Speaker 12: he was tested on it was sixteen for sixteen when
• 31:34
  Speaker 12: he was challenged on it. So I think everybody's going
• 31:37
  Speaker 12: to be given the benefit of the doubt early. But
• 31:39
  Speaker 12: I have a feeling that those rights are going to
• 31:41
  Speaker 12: be stripped from those that use and abuse it, because
• 31:44
  Speaker 12: they're going to be precious this year, no question about.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: It, Chuck. Before we go, Mitch Garver back on a
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: minor league deal. I mean, I don't mind it. I
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: think the questions about his production last two years are
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: very very validble I mean, hey, let's be real. I mean,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: does anyone recall what happened back in Game five with
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: the Alds. I mean that, Plus, if he makes a
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: roster he's making maybe league minimum. So I can't think
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: of a better low risk signing here for a guy
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: who knows this pitching staff than him. What about you, Well,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: I think that their plan.
• 32:16
  Speaker 12: I think they're interested in Garver, and yet he of
• 32:19
  Speaker 12: course was holding out for a major league deal and
• 32:21
  Speaker 12: probably thought he'd get one, and then when the riding
• 32:25
  Speaker 12: was on the wall that that wasn't going to happen, Well,
• 32:27
  Speaker 12: then go to the place that you like and the
• 32:29
  Speaker 12: players that you like and that you're accustomed to, and
• 32:32
  Speaker 12: so to get him on a minor league deal at
• 32:35
  Speaker 12: this stage in the process. I mean, I'd put him
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: right there in the competition for backup catcher. But I
• 32:41
  Speaker 12: think that, more so this year than last year, Mike
• 32:44
  Speaker 12: is going to be the role. I think what they
• 32:46
  Speaker 12: were looking for is a true backup catcher. I think
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: that's what Kisner represents. Garver was sort of a d
• 32:53
  Speaker 12: H last catcher, and then you ran the risk if
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: you know, Garver was behind the plate and Cal was
• 32:58
  Speaker 12: dhing that Garver gets her, you lose the DH.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: So there was a little bit of risk. It never
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: ended up burning them or biting them, but you do
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: run the risk a little bit there. Uh, but you know,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: we'll see I think that.
• 33:10
  Speaker 12: I mean we haven't seen him yet obviously, but I
• 33:12
  Speaker 12: do believe he thrust right into the competition. And you're right,
• 33:14
  Speaker 12: he's got familiarity with all the pitchers, which should give
• 33:17
  Speaker 12: him an advantage over Kisner. But if they are just
• 33:20
  Speaker 12: looking for more of a pure backup catcher role, maybe
• 33:23
  Speaker 12: that gives the advantage to Kisner going forward or somebody
• 33:26
  Speaker 12: else out here.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: It's a spring training. They don't call you mister fun
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: on the sun for no reason. Chuck appreciate this look
• 33:31

  Speaker 2: listening to. I'm listening to the song what a game,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, what a game? And already, already I'm
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: scanning Twitter n X. I'm still calling it Twitter. I
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: don't care. On the machine. I'm on the machine right now,
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: going down and oh look you here. Three on three
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: overtime should be punishable by jail. Listen name redacted, but
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: the cop Let it flow. Listen, let it flow.
• 35:53
  Speaker 14: I remember watching hockey games in the late nineties when
• 35:56
  Speaker 14: I first became a hockey fan. Five on five for
• 35:59
  Speaker 14: twenty minute overtime. That is how championship games, playoff games
• 36:04
  Speaker 14: should be decided. I understand that we are in this
• 36:07
  Speaker 14: era now of player safety, and we want to try
• 36:11
  Speaker 14: to speed up the games.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: And I get it.
• 36:13
  Speaker 14: And listen for a meaningless game on a Tuesday in November, fine,
• 36:17
  Speaker 14: shootout three on three whatever. You're in a gold medal game,
• 36:20
  Speaker 14: You're in a playoff game Game seven of the Cup Final.
• 36:23
  Speaker 14: Can you imagine Game seven of the Stanley Cup Final
• 36:28
  Speaker 14: going to a shootout going to three on three overtime
• 36:31
  Speaker 14: right now?
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Like that?
• 36:32
  Speaker 14: Absolutely not so that my eyeballs out right. Yeah, So listen,
• 36:37
  Speaker 14: it was a great game. The last couple days of
• 36:39
  Speaker 14: hockey have just been phenomenal on the men's side, obviously
• 36:44
  Speaker 14: on the women's side as well.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: So looking forward, kind of hockey wants to kill you,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: it does, buddy. Listen, man, I I miss cracking hockey.
• 36:53
  Speaker 14: It's it's been a fun, fun couple weeks off and
• 36:56
  Speaker 14: the guys have been back skating the last few days,
• 36:59
  Speaker 14: so it's been nice to see.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: It was a very intense.
• 37:02
  Speaker 14: Practice today, But I go home for an hour, I
• 37:05
  Speaker 14: turn on the television and I'm on the edge of
• 37:07
  Speaker 14: my couch watching USA and Canada, as I'm sure just
• 37:11
  Speaker 14: about everybody you.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Know who's involved in hockey or remotely a hockey fan
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: was this afternoon. Oh you know, it was pins and
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: needles palooza up here at thirty two Bar and Grill.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: And then we get down to the room and already
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: had the team still in their gear, was already leaning
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: over like it was a video game, playing meme, leaning
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: and watching this thing and it was only the second period,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: but it's done. Came off the ice and it was
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: like one nothing. I was like Canada. He goes, uh huh.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Chandler Stevenson looks over at Maddy, but hears and says, oh, hey,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: who's in the lead. We all go there's still more
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: time on this on the clock. Oh yeah, there's still
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: more time. I can't believe this year. Six days out.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Then the cracking back on the ice against the Dallas Stars,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: and I think, evert for me, the key word of
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: the week here for the Cracking is health. Yeah, and
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: even more importantly because are gonna get Phillip Grubauer back.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Of course, team Germany bounced out yesterday and he's gonna
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: come back with a pretty solid tournament, but also arguably
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: in the racer for Team MVP at this point of
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: the season. So I think, for help, why is that
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: important compared to who the Kraken are up against coming
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: out of the break right now?
• 38:18
  Speaker 14: Well, I think for Seattle, I mean you've got three
• 38:21
  Speaker 14: regulars plus Oscar Fisker Moleguard in the in the the Olympics,
• 38:25
  Speaker 14: Grebauer for Germany. Coppolocco elliets Ovenen still playing for Finland.
• 38:29
  Speaker 14: Oscar Fisker, Molegard and Denmark were bounced a couple of
• 38:32
  Speaker 14: days ago. So now you've got two guys left. You're
• 38:35
  Speaker 14: hoping that Coppocco Elliots Ovenen, while they have success, they
• 38:38
  Speaker 14: also stay healthy. And I think for Seattle is huge
• 38:40
  Speaker 14: because you're what FA three points back of of or
• 38:45
  Speaker 14: five points rather back of Vegas for first in the division.
• 38:49
  Speaker 14: You're currently in third place right now, you're in a
• 38:51
  Speaker 14: playoff race. You have won six of your last eight
• 38:54
  Speaker 14: going into the break. Vince Done the other day told
• 38:56
  Speaker 14: us that, you know, the break was great, but the
• 38:59
  Speaker 14: way that if this team was playing going into the Olympics,
• 39:02
  Speaker 14: they're like, man, I wish we could have kept this
• 39:03
  Speaker 14: thing going for a little bit longer.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: So go Vegas. They've got eight or nine guys.
• 39:08
  Speaker 14: Almost all of Finland plays on the Dallas Stars and
• 39:12
  Speaker 14: Colorado Avalanche, right, and the crack had open up in
• 39:15
  Speaker 14: Dallas and then in Saint Louis here next Wednesday Thursday.
• 39:18
  Speaker 14: So if you're Seattle, and if you're a fan, obviously
• 39:22
  Speaker 14: you want to see the city of Seattle, and you
• 39:24
  Speaker 14: want to see your favorite players representing their home countries
• 39:27
  Speaker 14: on the global stage. But I think selfishly, you're in
• 39:32
  Speaker 14: a pretty good spot of having all of your guys
• 39:35
  Speaker 14: for the most part going out on a vacation, being
• 39:38
  Speaker 14: able to rest and recuperate and recover, and now they
• 39:40
  Speaker 14: can get back for a stretch run.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: In twenty seconds or less. I'll keep names out of
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: it here since you don't play in this sandbox. But
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: how would a major trade after the landscape here by
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: deadline time move the needle scale of one to ten?
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think a big trade depending on who
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 39:56
  Speaker 14: You're looking at an eleven, right, Like if you're going
• 39:59
  Speaker 14: out and getting a mass name and you know, I'm
• 40:02
  Speaker 14: just gonna report who has been reported, right, Robert Thomas
• 40:07
  Speaker 14: from Saint Louis, Jason Robertson from Dallas. Right, those are
• 40:10
  Speaker 14: the two big names that a lot of people are
• 40:12
  Speaker 14: out there saying could potentially maybe seek a move. But
• 40:15
  Speaker 14: I mean, if I had to put any money on it,
• 40:17
  Speaker 14: I think the krack Inn are happy with what they
• 40:19
  Speaker 14: have right now. Would not surprise me. Again, I'm not
• 40:22
  Speaker 14: privy to this information. Would not surprise me if Seattle
• 40:26
  Speaker 14: holds onto their pieces. We'll see what they do in
• 40:28
  Speaker 14: the summertime when free agency comes. But I mean this
• 40:31
  Speaker 14: team right now is a playoff team because of the
• 40:33
  Speaker 14: guys in that locker room. And I could see a
• 40:35
  Speaker 14: couple of moves made, but again I'm gonna play both
• 40:38
  Speaker 14: sides of the fence. If the crack Inner five games
• 40:40
  Speaker 14: from now going out of the deadline with having made
• 40:42
  Speaker 14: no moves, I would not be star shocked at all
• 40:45
  Speaker 14: because I know this, this coaching staff, this management group.
• 40:48
  Speaker 14: They like the group that they've assembled, and they trust
• 40:50
  Speaker 14: these guys.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Good stuff. That's appreciate. You hav money trade deadline by
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: the way, March six, We'll talk to Joey Decord right
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: around the corner right here. Ninety three to three KJERFM.

• 44:15
  Speaker 2: see you once again. First off, that was the Olympic
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: buick for you.
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: It was awesome.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:18
  Speaker 11: I spent a lot of time with friends and family
• 44:20
  Speaker 11: and got in the sun a little bit, which was nice,
• 44:23
  Speaker 11: and you know, excited to be back you you were, I.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Think traveling here there everywhere, I believe. Also golf or
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: PGA Tour golf is on the menu, correct, Yeah.
• 44:32
  Speaker 11: Yeah, went to the Waste Management opened down in Scottsdale.
• 44:35
  Speaker 11: Always a blast to uh go down there and you know,
• 44:39
  Speaker 11: watch the golf and have a good time. And then
• 44:42
  Speaker 11: went down to uh Tempe Arizona to watch an ASU
• 44:45
  Speaker 11: hockey game as well while I was.
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: There, So that was great.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Did you actually post up a sixteen where all the
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: usual theatrics are going down. Yeah, I was there.
• 44:52
  Speaker 11: I was there a big part of the days. It's
• 44:53
  Speaker 11: a lot of fun to be there on Saturday and
• 44:56
  Speaker 11: definitely been most of it.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: What's easier getting in or getting out?
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: Then?
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 45:02
  Speaker 11: Man, I mean it's it's kind of chaos no matter what.
• 45:04
  Speaker 11: So it's pretty pretty similar, i'd tell you either way.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I think with this team being back now, this
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: is I think the important time to kind of take
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: in what you've gathered from the last couple of weeks
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: from shutting the mind off here And we had a
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: conversation with Brandon Montour about this recently, about the whole
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: work life balancing in the NHL, and I mean, I think,
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: to me, it's a different game. It's compared about twenty
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: years ago where you're talking about grinding day after day.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: But I think more and more you're finding out how
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: much rest and sleep can be. Certainly a weaponyear. So
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: I think for you, depending upon how long that you
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: need from these last two weeks, how did they serve
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: you best and how were you able to shut things
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: off mentally?
• 45:42
  Speaker 11: I mean, yeah, I think it's important to shut the
• 45:44
  Speaker 11: brain off, but at the same time, you know that
• 45:47
  Speaker 11: you get a big job coming up here with the
• 45:48
  Speaker 11: last little stretch round of the season.
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: So for me, it took a couple of days, but
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: for the most part, I I was training off the.
• 45:53
  Speaker 11: Ice almost a whole break, trying to make sure it's
• 45:57
  Speaker 11: staying good chape and kind of use the opportunity to
• 46:01
  Speaker 11: to to improve improve my shape and and how I'm
• 46:04
  Speaker 11: feeling to go into the stretcher on here. But definitely
• 46:07
  Speaker 11: good mentally to to have that opportunity to just get
• 46:09
  Speaker 11: away from hockey for.
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: A little bit and come back refresh and recharge and
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: ready to go.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: How different is the intensity with how you train safe
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: for like an off period like this, and say versus
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: we're talking back in the middle of November or December
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: or even you know, say back in the summer where
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: you're trying to focus more and more on strength training
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: and building up for even bigger things for them for
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: the following season.
• 46:30
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I'd say, honestly, I think one of the things
• 46:32
  Speaker 11: throughout the season is you you lose your conditioning a
• 46:34
  Speaker 11: little bit simply because you're playing so much hockey you
• 46:37
  Speaker 11: don't really have time to like train conditioning off the ice,
• 46:40
  Speaker 11: So I use this break as an opportunity to try
• 46:42
  Speaker 11: to get, you know, improve my conditioning a little bit
• 46:45
  Speaker 11: and kind of I would say maintain or my muscle.
• 46:49
  Speaker 11: My muscle is at I think in the summer, it's
• 46:52
  Speaker 11: more trying to build that muscle so it could last
• 46:53
  Speaker 11: you all season.
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: And you know you're also working a lot of conditioning
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: as well. But this this break was a little more
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: maintaining from a strength standpoint, and you know, a lot
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: of conditioning.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: I want sort of story about an OBLD tender who
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: played in the NHL named Byron Defoe and at times
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: he would lose about roughly eight to ten pounds of
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: body weight or a body weight mass during a game,
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: depending upon how many shots that he faced. How do
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: you compare with putting the gear on night after night.
• 47:21
  Speaker 11: I mean, most goalies lose a lot of weight, a
• 47:23
  Speaker 11: lot of water weight, but it comes right back when
• 47:25
  Speaker 11: you rehydrate after the game.
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: But it takes a lot of hydration. Yeah, I mean
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: it's the games are.
• 47:32
  Speaker 11: Incredibly demanding on a goalie with all the gear, you know,
• 47:35
  Speaker 11: you know, we don't get to sit down for the
• 47:36
  Speaker 11: sixteen minutes, so and we're working pretty hard almost the
• 47:40
  Speaker 11: whole game, so it's very taxing on us. And yeah,
• 47:44
  Speaker 11: I lose anywhere from like four to eight pounds of
• 47:47
  Speaker 11: sweat per game.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: That's the ultimate cardiot workout right.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: You can't get much better cardio than that, That's for sure.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: When you talk about the rhythm of the season here,
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: you know, we talk a lot about how much Damita
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: mas and we've seen now three goalies in the mix,
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: and they've all gotten you know, ample playing time at
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: points here for this year. But more recently it's been
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: you and Philip grew Bauer going back and forth on
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: a rotating platoon like basis. Where do you feel that
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: your brain and your level of comfort is right now
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: with your workload here at this point of the season.
• 48:19
  Speaker 11: I mean, honestly, I haven't really thought about that. I
• 48:22
  Speaker 11: think for me, it's just trying to do whatever I
• 48:24
  Speaker 11: can and be prepared for my next start. You know,
• 48:27
  Speaker 11: Coach tells me to play, I'm gonna play. Coach says
• 48:29
  Speaker 11: someone else is gonna play. I'm gonna be supportive and
• 48:31
  Speaker 11: do what I can to help the team win, you know,
• 48:34
  Speaker 11: in practice or from the bench or from the locker room.
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: And I think, you know, I'm always ready to go.
• 48:41
  Speaker 11: I love to play, and when coach tells me to play,
• 48:43
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna give it all.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: I got out there Joey Decore joining us here from
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Cracking Community ice Plex, and I want to dive into
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: I think more of the general overarching theme of this season.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: And I mentioned this to Brandon Montor earlier, where a
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: lot of people felt that if you were to I think,
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: look at the standings now versus the expectations back in August, September, October,
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: maybe this would definitely be exceeding a lot of people's
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: wildest dreams here. But what have you observed with how
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: far this team has gone even as far as meeting
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: the bar at this point of the year.
• 49:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think the y Ephasis was on
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: making playoffs this year.
• 49:19
  Speaker 11: That's what we want to do. We wanted to give
• 49:21
  Speaker 11: ourselves a chance to be in the next for playoffs,
• 49:26
  Speaker 11: and I.
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: Think we're doing just that.
• 49:27
  Speaker 11: I mean, we obviously the ultimate goals to win the
• 49:29
  Speaker 11: Stanley Cup, and personally I think if we get in,
• 49:32
  Speaker 11: I think we have a good chance because we play
• 49:34
  Speaker 11: a very playoff style of game. Our team does, so
• 49:37
  Speaker 11: I think, you know, for us we just got to
• 49:39
  Speaker 11: find a way to keep grinding out wins. And you know,
• 49:44
  Speaker 11: there wasn't really no like expectations or anything like that.
• 49:47
  Speaker 11: It's just coming here, give everything we have every day,
• 49:49
  Speaker 11: work as hard as we can, and you know, see
• 49:51
  Speaker 11: the chips fall at the end of the season.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: Those playoff like wins typically tend to involve scores like
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: maybe three, two, two to one, and that seems to
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: be the name of the game here for this team
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: here for this season and a few games I went
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: back and reflected on that you suited up and there
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: was the overtime win a home here against Los Angeles
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: before Christmas, team comes back, gets an extra attacker goal,
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: then wins it in overtime as well. Then there was
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: a win of Vegas at the end of January, and
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: then the win against Los Angeles Kings on the road
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: right before the Olympic break. I mean, is there a
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: win that really exists in your mind to think that,
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: you know, that's the kind of word that this team
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: can go back to over and over and overcome crunch time.
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: I definitely think so. I mean, we've done it over
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: and over this year.
• 50:34
  Speaker 11: You know, We've we've been I've been saying, like the
• 50:37
  Speaker 11: word for our team this year is resilient. We found
• 50:39
  Speaker 11: ways to be resilient, come back from stretches where we
• 50:42
  Speaker 11: didn't win enough games, you know, and and came right
• 50:45
  Speaker 11: back with a winning streak to kind of right the ship.
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: And then in games you know, we've been down a
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: lot and find ways that comes back.
• 50:52
  Speaker 11: And even if we just get a point, like those
• 50:54
  Speaker 11: points are huge and you know, we've just been resilient
• 50:57
  Speaker 11: all year, so we just got to.
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: Keep going with that.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: How big of a differences Lane Lambert made here for
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: this room this year?
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's been great.
• 51:04
  Speaker 11: I think a lot of the guys here, all the
• 51:06
  Speaker 11: guys here have have a lot of respect for Lane
• 51:08
  Speaker 11: and the way he's come in and taking command of
• 51:10
  Speaker 11: this group. He's incredibly prepared and incredibly structured, and I
• 51:14
  Speaker 11: think that's how our team needs to be and how
• 51:16
  Speaker 11: we need to play to be successful. And the guys
• 51:18
  Speaker 11: have really bought in and and yeah, it's it's you know,
• 51:21
  Speaker 11: it's fun to watch when when things are going the
• 51:23
  Speaker 11: right way and clicking for us, because you know we're
• 51:26
  Speaker 11: a fun hockey team.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: Well again, it's led this team this far here as
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: as far as being in the playoff next as Joy
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: decre joining us right now from cracking committee ice Plex
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: and kind of get into the home stretch of this year.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: There's eight days before the first game of the season
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: when this team gets back and off of the Olympic break,
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: and maybe the first day has kind of shaken off
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: the cobwebs, just kind of getting the touches felt. But
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: how do you best that or how how do you
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: best use the eight days to your advanced before game
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: agine finally gets going this next week.
• 51:53
  Speaker 11: Well, I think we're kind of provided with the luxury
• 51:55
  Speaker 11: of having time, right. I think last year we just
• 51:57
  Speaker 11: had two or three days and it was right into it.
• 51:59
  Speaker 11: Uh so you kind of have to just ramp right
• 52:01
  Speaker 11: back up into it this this week, we have a
• 52:02
  Speaker 11: little bit of a longer break, you know, a little
• 52:05
  Speaker 11: bit longer break and a little bit longer time to
• 52:07
  Speaker 11: get back into it. So I think the first few
• 52:08
  Speaker 11: days are just going to be, you know, like they've
• 52:11
  Speaker 11: been just getting back into it, finding our legs, and
• 52:15
  Speaker 11: then you know, as we move forward, we'll kind of
• 52:18
  Speaker 11: ramp up a little bit into game preparation for next week.
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: So it's been good. I like this just time here.
• 52:24
  Speaker 11: I think it's good for us as a group, and
• 52:26
  Speaker 11: I like it for myself personally, just to ramp up
• 52:29
  Speaker 11: and get back into things.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: You've been watching much of the Olympics.
• 52:32
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it's been hard, it's been so early
• 52:34
  Speaker 11: in the morning, but I've tried to watch where i can.
• 52:36
  Speaker 6: It's been fun to watch. Been good to see the
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: guys playing. Groovy Uh Capo Tolvy.
• 52:42
  Speaker 11: It's fun to see those guys, you know, scoring and
• 52:44
  Speaker 11: Grooby obviously playing great in that and I think Moley
• 52:47
  Speaker 11: had a good tournament as well too for Denmark.
• 52:49
  Speaker 6: So fun to watch those guys play.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: I can't help but remember before the Olympic break and
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: seeing you give a bear hug to Phillip Gruber before
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: he took off here for a team Germany. I mean,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: to be put in that kind of situation and to
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: play a lot here. What have you taken away from
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: what he's done here for these Olympics.
• 53:04
  Speaker 6: Well, I was just super pumped for him.
• 53:05
  Speaker 11: I mean, that's a huge opportunity to get to represent
• 53:07
  Speaker 11: your country on the Olympics and mean, you know, on
• 53:10
  Speaker 11: the international stage, and super fun to watch him play.
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: I mean, first off, his gear was nasty, So I
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: really enjoyed that.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: You're a big gear guy. Yeah, big gear guys.
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: That was fun to see him.
• 53:22
  Speaker 11: You know, his gear looked really good out there, and yeah,
• 53:25
  Speaker 11: he played great, So he should be really proud of.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: Himself taking with your gear and trying to think of
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: new designs for the very next season I had.
• 53:33
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I haven't really thought about it, honestly. The only thing, yeah,
• 53:37
  Speaker 11: a little bit. The only thing I've done so far
• 53:39
  Speaker 11: this year is I ordered a set of white gear
• 53:41
  Speaker 11: to go with the black jerseys.
• 53:42
  Speaker 6: So it's a white bass with some black and red
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: on it. I initially had the dark gear, but I'm
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: just not a dark gear.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: Guy, so.
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: Ended up ordering a pair of white gear to go
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: with the black jerseys.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: Finally, I had to ask before we get back into
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: the thick of this, there's been some time for Best
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: on Best and also some All Star games tot up
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: in other leagues. Here I couldn't help, but notice, I'm
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: not sure if you saw the KHL All Star Game
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: there was a goalie hardest shot competition. How would you
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: feel if the NHL brought this in for All Star
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: game competition.
• 54:12
  Speaker 6: I would love it.
• 54:13
  Speaker 11: I would love that I'd hopefully i'd make the All
• 54:15
  Speaker 11: Star Game so I could get to shoot. That's that's
• 54:17
  Speaker 11: all I'd want to do, is go shoot. No, that
• 54:19
  Speaker 11: would be a blast. I mean I kind of want
• 54:22
  Speaker 11: to see how hard I can shoot the puck, honestly,
• 54:24
  Speaker 11: So yeah, that'd be funny.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: I'd you actually clocked your shot though?
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: No, never, that's what I mean.
• 54:29
  Speaker 11: I would have no idea how hard I could shoot it.
• 54:31
  Speaker 11: I need a fresh twig for it. But see how
• 54:33
  Speaker 11: we can do.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: All right, Joey Decord's on record here and again. If
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: you can play oops, all goalies, you can fire a
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: hardest shot for a goalie competition for the All Star Game. Joey, Hey,
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: welcome back. Appreciate this, Thank you, Yeah, thank you having
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: me in another life. If there is such thing as
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: watching a goaltender moonlight as a forward and trying to
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: score goals, maybe aim for twenty thirty a season, forty
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: a season. This is Joey Decord's world that he's going
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: to be living in. And big, big thanks to Joey
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: Decord joining us Hereah Crack and Community ice Plex. And
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: that was our conversation earlier.
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: Jessea, I'm sorry the one thing I was going to
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: say is because you know, I grew up you know, baseball, football, right,
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: and almost everyone has been a quarterback.
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: Every pitcher has been a hitter at some point.
• 55:20
  Speaker 5: When it comes to hockey, is it like that where
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: if you're if you end up a goalie, you've clearly
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: shot the buck a bunch of times. You've been a
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: forward at some point in your life.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: A lot of the goaltenders I've talked with and Ian's
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: in the same boat. Others in this similar role are
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: in the same boat. When you play goaltender, usually if
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: because you've tried your hand and forward and either you're
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: struggling to try to score goals, or as a defenseman,
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: you know you just can't get to hang in the position,
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: or it just happens to be just one day you
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: show up for practice and there's no goalie, and the
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: coach says, when you're playing as a kid, you know, hey, hey,
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: we need a goalie. Why don't you try it out?
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden you put the pads on
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: and you think, oh, hey, this is pretty cool here.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of like center of the attention. I can
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: stop the puck. Yeah, it's a little weird. I'm trying
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: to literally have vulcanized robber at about you know, ninety
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: miles an hour. Hit me. But there's something fun about
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: it with doing this rather than trying to wait for
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: the puck and decide what I'm gonna you know, go
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: ahead and do with it. Maybe I'm not the best
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: out there, and a lot of these guys just kind
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: of fall into the position by accident.
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: Well, I feel like that's similar across a lot of
• 56:34
  Speaker 5: different sports. Kind of like what I was saying, it's
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: like you've, you know, in the in the ball based sports.
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: You know, you've thrown a ball, you've caught a ball,
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: You've all done it, and that is how it ends up, right,
• 56:47
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden, you settle into a position and
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: then it becomes specialized after that.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Please do not do not confuse me for anybody who
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: had a future in playing hockey. I didn't even discover
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: the game here until I was like maybe, and I'm talking,
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: i'mlike on a serious level, until I was like maybe
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: ten eleven years of age. But you know, when I
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: grew up and after I moved away from here, originally
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: when I was eight years old, down to southern California.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: I began to gravitate more when roller blades were becoming
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: the end thing, you know, back in the nineties. And
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: you know, that's a different story. And the big reason
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: why it was one day Pavement won Mike nothing and
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: I went and had a concussion loss of tooth as well,
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: because I couldn't skate and I didn't have a good
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: grasp of it. But yet I loved putting on the pads,
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: playing outdoors in the sun any chance I got, and
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: you know, you can work on your shot, you know,
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: But I mean, there are just some positions where it
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: just feels more and more you know natural. And I
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: think for me playing goaltender when I was a kid
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: getting into you know, high school a little bit, you know,
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: moonlighting in that area. I've had some fun roller games
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: against friends back in southern California. So it's a position
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: where you just kind of like, you know, you meander
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: your way in and all of a sudden it just
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: kind of grows on you.
• 58:08
  Speaker 5: But you know what my favorite stories are the emergency
• 58:11
  Speaker 5: squel tenders. Oh yes, I know that it's you know,
• 58:14
  Speaker 5: far and few between that that actually happens. But the
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: guy stocking the vending machine gets called onto the ice.
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: I am all for it.
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: I know, it's like the way that you're talking about it, though,
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: it sounds like you were kind of in a position
• 58:26
  Speaker 5: that was similar to maybe just maybe this could.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: Happen, right right well, I mean, and again, folks, if
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: you're curious about these stories, go ahead and google David
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: ay Ors Carolina Hurricanes. We got to get John Borson
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: back on here sometime, because Johnny called that game when
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: he was with the Hurricanes last decade, and it is
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: one of the all timers. And I'm talking like a
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: Rudy like situation where you're literally plucking the guy out
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: of the stands. He was a zamboni driver for an
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: American Hockey League team out in Toronto, and because he
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: had old tending experience playing alside, believe in a men's
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: league out there, they said we needed the goalie. And
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: the guy who began playing starting in front of him
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: got banged up and they had no choice but to
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: go to David Ayers. And of course he struggled first
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: couple shifts, and then all of a sudden began to
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: find the pucket a little bit more, gain some more confidence,
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: and then you had the maple Leafs who were thinking
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: that they were gonna be blowing the doors off the Hurricanes.
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: They began to get a little more frustrated, and then
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: it began to kind of work a little bit of
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: a hex on them mentally, and then by the end
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: of the night, Carolina won. David Ayers was your winning
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: goaltender and was showered with adult beverages in the Hurricanes
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: dressing room for a moment he will never forget, as only.
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: It should be. Though after something like that, yes, as
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: only it should be.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: It went just too bad now because there are rule
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: changes underway in the NHL where you have to have
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: a full time emergency backup goaltender on hands. So those
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: stories of guys like David Ayers, your random zamboni driver,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: the guy you're picking up out of the hallway trying
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: to mop the floors like those are gonna be now
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: going by the wayside. So and you know, there's also
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: a great story as well with the Chicago Blackhawks. They
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: you know, hired a guy working at a I believe
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: as an investment banker about across the streets roughly a
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: few years ago. All all those stories are going to
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: be a thing of the past now because they've changed
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: how this is gonna work, and you have to have
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: basically a full time emergency backup goaltender ready on hand
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: in case something goes hey, wires, something goes awry, and
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: you have to have that guy called in out of
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: the bullpen, so to speak. But Joey de Cord, if
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: you want to find a guy who can shoot the puck,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: loves to shoot the puck and does this here for
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: a spare time, just look up any highlights for him.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: He does this here and practice a lot. I've seen
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: him do this and warm ups as well, a lot,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: trying to aim for corners like he's a ford and
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: he's taking a few that scoring an empty net goal,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: and those are more few and far between, a rarity
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: in the NHL. But I can say this, it's coming.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: It's coming. One of these days, joy Tocord will be
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: picking up the puck and launching it full send two
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: hundred feet down the other way to become one of
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: I believe now, which should be eighteen goal leased to
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: score a goal in NHL history. It is a matter
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: of time. He loved to shoot the puck. He does
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: it with confidence, and he speaks as well. With confidence
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: as cracking goaltender Joy Tocord joining us here at Kraken
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Community ice Plex. Top bags text messages a lot to
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: get to Ryan Florey. Don't forget Softy Dick Fane. They
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: have him coming up a three to twenty more reaction
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: from that. The Mariners also more on the crack inside,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: heading into the stress drive of the Olympic break all
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: coming up next to your reaction right here. Nine three
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: kJ Erathim.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 15: Just to say, my ded on the air ruined the
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 15: Golden Medal final for me. I only heard it forty
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 15: seconds later because I'm on a tape delay because I
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 15: play it by VCR.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 13: One to dream.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: It's pretty good.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: I'm dead. I'm dead. Oh man, as if I thought
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: my day couldn't have become sunnier from watching Team USA
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: win the gold medal. Oh, we get the mj impersonator
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: here for talk.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: It's got him down pretty good. He mt definitely has
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: a high to low like Cadence. Yeah.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: I'm literally I'm literally trying. I'm I'm losing it right
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: now and I got tears coming out of my eyes
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: and people are looking at me like what are you doing?
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: Because they can't do exactly what you're hearing.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: Four to komadage text line, do we have another go ahead?
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 15: Hey there, this message is for Mike Benton. This is
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 15: GQ Jerry Depoto.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: I've been a couple of years since we spoke.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: On there, Mike. Good to hear you. Just want to
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: let you know in that time I.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 15: Did win executive year because I'm the greatest GM in history.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 15: Granted it was for getting rid of Gino Sores, bringing
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 15: him back.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: Then getting rid of him again.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: Just let you know I will be bringing him back
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: again this year.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 15: And that is a spoiler, kind of like you ruin
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 15: the Gold Medal, spoiling it for MJ in the midday.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 15: Good to hear you on the air, GQ Jerry out
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 15: at least Jerry was listening.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, you know, I do hear that Jerry does listen
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: to this show.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: Sometimes allegedly, I think all the time.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: I think it does. Matter of fact, Yes, yeah.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: I mean why wouldn't you?
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: How were you so? Hey, Jerry, I will be back
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: in studio tomorrow in case you wanted to follow up
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: here on this one. Oh, come on, pop eye, GQ Jerry,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: I want your prediction on the Gold Medal game that
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: we'll find out here. For the men's side, this is
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: all gonna, you know, be sorting itself out here soon.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: But I would love a prediction here for the gold
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: medal game. I still think it's gonna be US versus Canada.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: Me too, I means.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: US. Had I get it that US was kind of
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: playing half speed maybe in the round robin. And you
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: may have questions here, maybe about Austin Matthews, but yah,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: apparently every other teammate in that dressing room doesn't seem
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: to have any kind of questions right now. I think
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be US versus Canada, all right. Four nine
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: four five one On the Tacoma Dodge text line, I
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: have finally gathered myself here shot Tacoma Dodge Chrysler geep
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: Ran in the corner of thirty eighth and South Tacoma
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: away the intersection of Savings. We're talking earlier about Kenneth
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: Walker the third and how much Brian Florey maybe I
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: think influences your feelings that this makes a spot more
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: attractive fear for Walker to come back, and I want
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: to go down to two five three saying wasn't part
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: of canine here being available in the playoffs direct result
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: of not getting injured because they split carries he did
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: with the Zach sharboning in the regular season and that
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: kept him fresh.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 5: That from the two five to three, I would agree
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: with that, and I think that you know, obviously both
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 5: of them were put at equal risk throughout this entire season.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 5: But that's why it was such a bummer and why
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 5: it was such a question mark when it came to
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 5: Canine's ability to be available when Zach got.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: Hurt again four nine four five one, when when Zach
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: Charbonay was knocked out that was against the Niners back
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: in January during the playoffs. And then when you look
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: at Kenneth Walker, the third is uptick. Usually he's averaging
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: ten carries. I'm going down the list, You're ten thirteen carries,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: sixteen nineteen, but then ten ten, you're throwing eleven in there,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: another eleven, and then finally getting toward December after Christmas playoffs,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: fifteen carries, sixteen carries nineteen nineteen, and then for the
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: Grand Poobah twenty seven for one thirty five in the
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl. So I do see where there's a lot
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: of substance here in the argument of keeping him fresh,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: But I just can't help but think when he mentioned
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: a while back of he kind of left the door
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: open that he could be playing here with more carries.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: And I'm really curious where this goes in negotiations. But
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: then if you're the Seahawks, and I think this was
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: also pointed out by Mike Florio on these airwaves recently,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: as recent as yesterday with the Softy and Dick thing.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: Running back is the most volatile position in the NFL
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: when it comes to injury, and it's like playing with
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: a ticking time bomb every single carry, every single down
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: where there is a risk of injury, you could have
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: the ACL blow up maybe any play, any moment if
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: that running back gets hitting the wrong spot. And then
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: do you want to reward a fat contract for something
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: that you just did but not thinking about what could
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: happen as well down the road. And that's the name
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: of the game now. I think in contract negotiations, not
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: just in the NFL, but also in Major League Baseball
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: in the NHL as well, guys are not getting paid
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: for what they've done. Guys are getting paid for for
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: what front offices and analytics teams are thinking they're going
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: It's all potential one hundred percent. Agree. You used to
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: be Oh you get you got paid for what you've
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: already done.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 5: Now it's proven and if they think you can prove it,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 5: then that's the contract.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: Yet Yeah, and then again it goes back to the
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: fact that do you remember what happened to Sean Alexander
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: about twenty years ago? M M, what happened there twenty
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: years ago? This is this is I think the precedents
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: and I said this back with Corbyn Smith. I mean
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: John Schneider does not live in franchise tag name, So
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: I mean Kenneth Walker the third can try his hand
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: back out in free agency. Maybe there's something else for
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: him out there with I don't know the Chiefs, the Steelers,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: how risk.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 5: We all know that he'll get offers, And yes, I
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 5: think that what you have to do is look around
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 5: the league and see what the salary caps are in
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 5: various places.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: Two O six at Walker is a special player and
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: he didn't get all the opportunities until Zach got hurt.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: Uh two O six. Separately, they have to re sign
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: K nine Charbonday won't be healthy and we'll basically stink
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: we have nobody here to run the ball. Basically after that,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: after the two six, Zach Charbaday won't be back I
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: believe until October based on his injury.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it sounded like like if all things go to
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 5: plan when it comes to the rehabilitation for him, that
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 5: it would be definitely not for the beginning of the season,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 5: but October.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: I'd take it.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: Four two five. Here's the fun Mariners question. Who has
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: a better late inning bullpen this year's Mariners team or
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: the two thousand and one Mariners.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 4: I liked that question because it's difficult.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: I want to say the closer back then was Kasasaki,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: And I'm going back here to get a deeper look
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: at who they had back in that bullpenning. And my
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: memory fades a little bit over time. Here, I'm a
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: cross forty five at this point.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: You're a babe. I'm just a young baby just coming
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: into this world.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: Kasasaki, thirty three years of age, was the closer forty
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: five saves, Arthur Rhodes, Ose Pantiagua, our friend Jeff Nelson,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: thirty eight year old, high kick Norm Charlton. Then, when
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: you compare this year's Mariner's bullpen, Andre's Munnos, of course
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: is ther ninth any rock star. You got Matt Brash
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: and his filth right behind him, that frisbee slider he
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: can fire any given moment. Gabe Spier, who I think
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: is as great of a lefty reliever as they come,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: Edward Bizardo, Man, I think, how much does the narrative
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: change if not for the George Springer home running Game seven,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: because he was having a dynamite postseason last year, dynamite
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: Carlos Vargas. I I still have the jury out on him,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: and I just I just don't have a high level
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: of confidence each and every time I see him out
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: Versus say Gabe Spire, versus say Matt Brash, versus say
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: even Madres Munnos. You know, save maybe I think you
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: know the the crater he went into about roughly, you know,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: for a few weeks last season. Again, he was terrific
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: at the postseason. I think ultimately it's a course. Can
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: you push the right buttons and not burn Mumnos out
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: one day and have to go to see guy like
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: Vargas and the ninth inning for the next day. But
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: then but then again, I kid, Jose Ferrara is going
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: to be a very interesting conversation because he's a lefty.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: He can throw gas. But I think initially checking in
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: on this, how much legit swing and miss stuff does
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: he have? Because anybody at this day and age can
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: throw a hundred. Anybody can throw a hundred. The question
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: is how much can you miss bats and how much
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: movement can you put on the ball. That ultimately is
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: the game changer as far as the difference between an
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: elite reliever versus a run of the mill reliever, And
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: I think those are the questions with Jose Ferrera is
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: how much bats can he miss or how much ground
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: balls can he induce to produce outs? As well?
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 4: Well, here we go, I mean literally, here we go.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: We'll see we assume. Trying to think I had something
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: else here right down the list, uh for uh text messages.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: I thought I had it, but I lost it. But well,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: here we go to two five three. I'm sorry I
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: found it here. Two three. When John Scheiner said negotiations
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: talking the Super Bowl party here, I knew Canine would
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: be resigned. John Steinder me I had a few drinks
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: in him. But he's a well oft atlish, functioning guy
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: in that area like me. But a lot better that
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: from the two five three well, I mean.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: The Red Cup solo the Red Solo Cup speech, I
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 4: should say.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: That easily was one of my highlights at that rally.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 5: It was I mean, it was overt. Nobody's saying, nobody's
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 5: making up rumors or anything.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: The guys were having a good time.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: At this point, this day and age. What do you
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: expect guys here to be consuming during a.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 5: Rally when they just won the biggest trophe of Perrier.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 5: It's not I mean, there are certain guys that don't partake.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 5: I know Kenneth Walker isn't a partaker and he didn't,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 5: but those who did certainly did.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: Ernest Jones had himself a blast.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, oh boy. I I kind of looked over
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: at my boys once the the the emphatic million dollar
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: line win down, but I think it kind of went
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: in one ear and out the other. Oh partially because
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: of the loud speakers as well in the PA system,
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: we weren't down there by one of the louder PA speakers.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 5: I'm so glad that you were a responsible parent who
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 5: took his kids there, because.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: We just had more of a conversation of hey, how
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: cool were the floats out there. Hey you saw Sam Darnold, Right,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: Hey you saw JS.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: Do you catch any confetti sons?
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 11: Yeah?
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: Actually, Lucas, my oldest son. We got back in the
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: car after getting back home via the training and we
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: lived in the north part of the Sound, so we
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: were on the train for about an hour and out
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: of his pocket he picked up one morsel of confetti saved.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: So that's that's back on his desk back at home
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: as well, and he was partying all day. Speaking of
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: party guys, right here, I believe the soft one is
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: around the corner, Dave Softy Maller, He joins us.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: Next.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm taking a peek outside the windows at
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: thirty two Bar and Drill. I could have sworn it
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: was snowing about an hour or two hours ago. It
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: is completely gone, completely gone. I like the snow, like
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: the snow, Softy joins us.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 11: Here.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: My hopes of I think it's snowing here for this
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: year are basically gone here.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 16: Yeah, well, you never know. We can get something in
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 16: early March. You know it's happened before around these parts.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 16: You've been here long enough to know that you don't
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 16: discount anything with the weather in our region. Gosh, but yeah,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 16: we had some flurries in the deads this morning, man,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 16: when I woke up, and you know, my wife hates
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 16: the snow.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 13: A lot of folks don't like. I love it. I
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 13: think it's awesome.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: You ever see snow out on the golf course out there?
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 16: No, it's never snow and on the golf course ever, ever,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 16: not one time, of course, we're seeing snow. The question
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 16: is do we play in it? Ask me if we're
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 16: playing it. The answers yes, of course, if we can
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 16: get away with it, we'd playing it.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, I cannot wait. Would you
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: ever try to rip eighteen out there in the snow?
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 14: Hell?
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 13: Yes absolutely.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 16: I mean the greenskeeper may not be too happy with us, right,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 16: but as long as the course is open, as long
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 16: as they let us out there, we're going out there, man,
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 16: for sure.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: So ever take a white titleist out there, though, that's right.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 16: Never play with yellow balls, man, Yeah, two things. You
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 16: can see your balls in a place to pee. It's
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 16: works out great.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: I think I think the Senior pre Tour, now, now
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: what do they call it?
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 15: Oh?
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 13: The Champions Tour? Champions Well, Freddie uses yellow balls.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: You know this is one. Ernie Els has a yellow ball,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: all right, he uses.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 16: He told me we asked him about that. Uh, not
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 16: the last time he was on, but a couple of
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 16: years ago. Because he's playing mostly all hybrids now, I
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 16: think like the a seven would Yeah, the longest iron
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 16: he's got in his bag, I think is a seven iron.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 16: Everything else is hybrids and woods. He says, Look, it's
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 16: easier to hit on my back. I can spot the
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 16: ball better, my eye can pick it up better. So
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 16: he has absolutely embraced old man golf and a freddy
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 16: boom boom. If it's good enough for him, it's good
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 16: enough for me.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: Man, he's leading the pack man. He does not care
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: about any norms whatever period. Like I think he swifted
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: up as a tire now and wearing like the laid
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: back malbond stuff. I think, is that right?
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 13: Absolutely? Yeah, he's a stud man. Love him. So what's
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 13: going on up there?
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: Oh man? This place is kind of cleared out now,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: but you should have been here about roughly an hour
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: and a half ago when it was Pins and Needles
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: Palooza for the women's gold medal game.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 13: Hey, I saw that.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: I saw that man, he ruined MS crosstalk.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 16: Also, well, that's his problem. Make him Keller with the
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 16: game winner. And then I saw Hillary and Knight tied
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 16: it up at the end of three. Is that right,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 16: with like a couple of minutes.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: To play, Friend of Seattle? Yeah, there you go.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 13: Well you should get her on your show. What are
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 13: you doing, man, come.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: On, get her on. We had her actually last home
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: game against some maple leafs, and I'll try to pull
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: this audio up some time, but I asked her about
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: what it's like playing for a fifth gold medal, and
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: she goes, it's great, and you know, I want to
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: compare myself here to the all time greats and meet
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: the level here. But what you're saying is that I
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: should go for a six right right? Hey, who's in
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: for this one?
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 16: Well, I think I think you should get her on again.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 16: I mean, things have changed a little bit since you'll
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 16: last talk to her. So if you're if you're as
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 16: good at your job as everybody says you are, then
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 16: you'll get her on the show.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 13: Make it happen her.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 16: I want to hear her on the Crack and Pregame
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 16: show next Tuesday before you guys take on Dallas.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: You got to find a way to talk to her. Also,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: she is a million dollar content machine. She's fantastic.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 4: Sounds like a future analyst once it's gonna happen.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: She has had experience. Also, I think I want to
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: say back in twenty twenty. I want to say twenty two.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: She was an analyst for twenty eighteen for some hockey
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: coverage on NBC. But she definitely has a chop.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 16: Well, you know what, if she wants to do three
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 16: to seven, that's fine. She can take over three to
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 16: seven Hillary and in the afternoon, that's fine by me.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 16: I'm just being lazy. Well, dug you kidding me?
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 7: Come on.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 16: So anyway, Yeah, well we got a big one today, man.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 16: Brian Floory, the new Seahawks offensive coordinator, is going to
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 16: join us at three twenty on the radio show. The
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 16: one question I want to ask did he burn all
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 16: his forty nine ers gear? How much did it piss
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 16: off the Niners? The Seahawks were using their locker room
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 16: and won a title on their field in Santa Clara,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 16: So we'll talk to him about that. You know, he
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 16: worked with Kobiak and Sam Darnold, back in twenty twenty
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 16: three with San Francisco, So you know, continuity obviously was
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 16: key here. How much is he going to change the terminology?
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 16: How much do players have to adapt to him? How
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 16: much does he have to adapt to the players. How
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 16: important is Kenny Walker to his system? Lots of stuff
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 16: to go over with this guy. And after what I
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 16: heard of the press conference today from the dude, he
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 16: is pretty engaging.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 13: So looking forward to having him on at three twenty.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: George Kittle is punching air right now, isn't he?
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 16: Yes, he is, and we'll talk about that. You know,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 16: what does he what did he learn from George that
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 16: he can pass on? And you know guys like Aj Barner,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 16: Elijah Royo and in company. So, I mean you've seen
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 16: the photo of the guy. He looks like obi Wan Kenobi.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 16: And I don't mean the Ewan McGregor. I mean the
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 16: Alec Guinness version, the real Obi Wan, not the knockoff
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 16: Obi Wan. For God's sakes, that you know, putches like
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 16: Andrews fall in love with because they're nine years old
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 16: and don't know any better.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, don't throw shadea Andrews. He's back over a baby
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 13: I think, yeah, he need he can handle it. Man,
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 13: It's just a baby used to baby.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: Speaking of the forty nine ers, also, we thought it
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: was goofy to see them move down to Santa Clara
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: and call themselves to the San Francisco right What on
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: earth is going on with the Chicago Bears right now?
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 13: Well, I just want to know how long the commune
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 13: is going to be.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 16: It's about twenty five miles from a Soldier field right
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 16: now to Hammond, Indiana, which is right across the state line.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 16: I mean, everyone there's a Bears fan, I get that.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 16: It just doesn't seem right, does it? That the Chicago
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 16: Bears are not playing in Chicago. It doesn't seem right.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 16: The Niners are playing in Santa Clara. Hell, it didn't
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 16: seem right to me when the Pistons played in Auburn,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 16: for God's sakes, right, So, I don't know, man. I mean,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 16: if Clay Bennett had his way, we would have built
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 16: the guy a brand new free arena in Renton that
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 16: would have even seemed weird.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: Marysville Lake Stevens.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean whatever I mean, But now I mean
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 16: I'm playing Olympia Lala Lawler. I don't care as long
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 16: as we got the basketball team back, right, So it
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 16: is kind of odd that the Bears are going to
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 16: potentially be leaving Chicago.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 13: We'll see if this actually happens or not.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 16: You know, this might kind of spurn the city of
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 16: Chicago and politicians to get off their ass and maybe
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 16: sweeten the deal for them to stay in Chicago. But
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 16: it would be a little bit of an odd deal
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 16: man to see them playing in Indiana.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: Very weird, good good stuff. Dick fans out here today.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 16: I believe Hughey's Yeah, Dick is out. Humillin's in today.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 16: Dick is gone today and tomorrow, so hewin today and tomorrow.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 16: We're going to talk to Brian Florey again, the Seahawk
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 16: offensive coordinator, Mike Holmgren, who's being honored along with his
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 16: wife for the Humanitarian Award at the Sports Star Banquet
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 16: this year. They'll join us at four o'clock and then Christian,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 16: I'm caple. I'm just kind of the the odd firing
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 16: of Jimmy Doherty the other day odd being the timing
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 16: was very weird. We'll talk to Christian at five o'clock
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 16: tonight and find out what was behind.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: That, all right, Buckle up, folks. Softy's next year Chuck
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: Palvic thanks to him. Also, ever it fits you, joy
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: the court and billing in for I infness, I might
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: see it for.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 13: The mild mannered and marginally objectionable e in forness. This
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 13: is paddle Day, saying so long everyone,
