  Speaker 1: Now, from the Star Reynolds Sports Desk, your 93.3 KJR
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: FM Sports Headlines. Headlines are brought to you by Frostbrook
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Coors Light. Cold as the Rockies. Don't forget, it is
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: a crack-in ticket Tuesday. We're giving away tickets. More on
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: that in just a couple moments. Seahawks are making additions
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: to the run game. Jadarian Price now on the IR.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: They signed veteran. They wanted to sign veteran Joe Mixon
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: in the practice squad. They didn't. Robert Henry instead will
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: join the 53-man roster. We'll get into all that. It's
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a weird, weird... I don't know if weird is the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: right word. Strange situation. Complicated, I'd say, Ashley. Complicated.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I think that's a good way to describe it.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Former Husky quarterback Michael Penix, Atlanta Falcons, showed out as
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the Falcons beat the Saints 45-24 on Monday Night Football.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Offer him a Robinson to Robinson rush for 207 yards
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and five touchdowns in the win. Kind of a bummer
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of a night for New Orleans. I don't want to
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: say celebrating, but they were recognized in the 20th anniversary.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I wanted them to show up.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was good. Anyway, NFL suspended two officials for
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: some controversies in week four. Line judge Jess Siemens suspended
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: two games after being caught on camera dropping F-bombs on
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Trey McBride, the Arizona Cardinals tight end. Referee Adrian Hills
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: received a one-game suspension for his reaction to getting accidentally
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: knocked down. Relax, fellas. You're not Major League Baseball umpires.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Kraken looking to prove they can beat teams outside of Calgary.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Vegas is in town tonight. Pre-game at 6. Game time,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: 6.40 right here on 93.3 KDRFM.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was incorrect then.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: That's all right.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: ESPN says it's at 6.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: It's ESPN. Yeah. Unless it's the Yankees or the.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Which I thought was weird because I was like, I
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: swear we were doing 640, but I just went, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: was like, all right.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: If it's the Yankees, the Lakers, or the Cowboys, they'll
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: get it right.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Well, then I wonder how many of the things are
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: wrong on the damn thing I did.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Rays and White Sox each took two nothing leads in
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the ALDS. I think that's accurate. I'm actually going to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: talk about that in a second.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: And LDS plays, resumes tonight, Dodgers and Braves tied at
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: one game apiece. Padres trying to save up elimination against
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the Brewers. Here we go. It's Cracking Ticket Tuesday. What
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: are we, what ticket, what game are we giving away
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: tickets for? Do we know?
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Uh, that's a great question. I can log in there
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: real quick. I was just going to see that. Yes.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: All the stuff that I'd put into the broadcast calendar
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: that I sent out to affiliates.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: You should use AI. You should use AI.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Um, yeah, well, probably would have been better off.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Like was, who's doing, uh, all right. Uh, Oh, October
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: 20th against the Detroit Red Wings. Detroit, Detroit, Detroit Red Wings.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I think that might be, that might, that might be
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the next home game actually. I should know those.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I should also know that.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Well, I only say that. Yes, it is. That much
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I do know. Yeah, because the road trip starts on
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Friday after tonight's home game against Vegas. So the 20th
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: is a Tuesday against Detroit. So that's coming up. That's
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the next home game. Away we go for that. So enjoy. Okay.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So when you hear the sounder, 10th caller, 206-286-9595, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you'll win a pair of tickets to play the Kraken
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: on October 20th. Whew, got a lot going on. The.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the hockey game tonight, again, 6 o'clock pregame
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: with Bento and the company. I need to double-check that, too,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you. 6 o'clock pregame and 6.40 for...
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: That much I do know. When we have a 6.40 game,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: we are still pregaming at 6.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay. So they're kind of.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I just had this... I've been going back and forth
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: doing the Kraken affiliate stuff and the broadcast schedule. I
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: think I've changed, like, 30 games about four times.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And they keep changing. So this one, I put it,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: it was, when I looked at the schedule, it said
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: six o'clock. So I put it, thought it was odd.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Do we, do, do, do people like, I'll ask you,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you've got the, you've got the, uh, the young at home. Yeah.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: But you also, the young at home, that's not home
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a lot. Cause she's doing a lot.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Of, she's going to be 12 tomorrow.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: God. Wow. I know. It doesn't seem like that long ago.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: It was your wedding day, right?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: No, that was a good time.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I was on my best behavior that night. Oh, yeah.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You and everyone.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I had to be because of the Sobrowski wedding.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Prior to that, I wasn't on my best behavior, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I got in a lot of trouble for that one.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Most people just do that. We'll repeat and do the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: same thing.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Did you get married a year after the Red Baron?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I don't even.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: My old producer.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Was it a year?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I think it might have been. What's your anniversary? 2012. Okay,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: but what's the date?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: September 22nd.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I think it was a year later. Okay. Roughly a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: year later.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was a. Those pictures still come back and
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: pop up every once in a while, and I laugh.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, there's a few. That photo booth. Yeah. Yeah,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: so I behaved at yours. Yeah. I was warned.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Well, you were one of the few.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I was warned. I was warned. And I've survived. We're
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: still married, so that's good. The Sobrowski wedding was not
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: as good. Yeah.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, 12 years old. Damn. That is crazy. I know. Tomorrow.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: One year away from being a teenager, although I'll be
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: honest with you, 12's a teenager.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, yeah. We've achieved it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: 12's a teenager. Terrible twos have nothing on teen years. Nothing.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Although, most of the time, knock on wood, she's decent.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: That's because you're good parents. That's why. Hopefully. Good kids
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: come from good parents. Bad kids are normally a product
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: of bad parenting. Period.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: It's really not that hard. It's really not that difficult.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: To figure it out. Okay. Oh, I was going to
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: ask you that. Like, so yeah, so 640. So I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: was just telling Greg this, the Kraken are starting their
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: games at 640 on the weeknights now.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: As opposed to seven o'clock. And I give or take
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a few minutes, 640, seven o'clock, whatever. But you get the,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: it's a half hour earlier. They're starting roughly. The Mariners
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: have been doing that now for two years, I believe,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. And with their games on weeknights,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and I say weeknights, Monday through Thursday. Friday I don't
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: think really counts. I think Friday you have it a
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: little bit later. But they've been doing that for a while.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: A lot of teams on the East Coast have been
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: doing it as well at 6.40. I mean, you get
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: in the car sometimes, oh, hey, the Mariners are already
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: playing at 3.30 our time. Yeah. Which feels really early,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: really early for us. But do people like that? Do
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you like the Mariners games early?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: We have no idea with Kraken because they haven't done
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: it yet.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I like them at 640.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, I like that.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I like that. I prefer, I think that's an ideal
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: time because you can get stuff done and then you
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: can still sit down to actually watch it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no one came out and just grew. I'm sure
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: they did a lot of research. I know the Kraken
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: did the same thing and they leaned on the Mariners
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a little bit to say, hey, how's it work for you?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: What's the feedback you've got from your fans? And so
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: they're going to give this a go. So it's a
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: whole new world in that regard. I like it. The
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: only thing that's funny, if I'm at home I don't
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: mind the seven o'clock game, like for the Mariners where
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: it's like, okay, by then, you know, we've, you know,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I do the gym after work, get home, we do
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: dinner and all that. And then seven o'clock and then
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not fighting the wife, you know, for the TV,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you know, and all that kind of stuff. Seven o'clock,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: we can just kind of settle it. I like it
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: a little bit later, but that's only because I'm at home.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not who they're worried about. They're worried about people
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: in the building, the Mariners are. Same thing with the Kraken.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: They want to worry about the people in the building
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit more. So, Yeah, we'll see how it goes.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: That's our first one tonight. So Bento's on air at 6,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and then we've got the game at 6.40 tonight, both
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: here on KJR and also on, it's actually on King
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and Kong tonight.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: King and Kong.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: King Kong, they call it. Yes. And Amazon Prime Video.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And the iHeartRadio Network.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: You can watch it everywhere.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Yes. The largest, second largest radio network, I believe, in
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the National Hockey League, if.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken. Yeah, we were a largest, and we might,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: or no, third largest. We were third largest last year.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's good. All right. Let's get to the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: local NFL team here for a second, if we can.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: By the way, John Lund at 2 o'clock today. Have
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you confirmed with him?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I sent him an email or a text. Whether or
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: not that means he's read it, that much I can't
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: tell you.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: He's on the air right now. He's pissing off the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: barrier right now as we speak. I'll follow it up
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and tell him, stop messing with Ashley. Stop doing this.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: It's now sponsored by our friends at Chambers Bay Distillery, who,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: by the way, we should point out, are having Tuesday's
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: trivia night down at Chambers Bay Distillery on Bridgeport there
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: in University Place. So that's coming up later today. So
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks situation is an interesting one with the running
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: back position. Joe Mixon, we thought, was going to sign yesterday.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to the practice squad.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: To the practice squad, which makes sense. No one's picked
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: him up. It's not like there's a big push to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: get Joe Mixon on their roster. But they were going
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to sign. He's 30 years old, released in March by
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the Texans, missed all of last season on the non-football
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: injury list. And now there's all kinds of stuff coming out.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: People are still trying to speculate what happened to him.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: What was the foot injury? There's some that thought he
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: was shot in the foot.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: There's a story going around about that. And I'm just
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: passing along just because nobody knows. Nobody's heard from him.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Texans didn't say anything and so forth. But they did
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: not sign him. Apparently, you know, contingent on passing a physical.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I'm going to throw something out there, Ash, and you
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: just tell me if I'm way off base. Because you
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: know what? Sports radio, we can have some fun. Not fun.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: We can speculate because we don't know. And Mike McDonald
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: will speak tomorrow. And even if what I'm going to
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: tell you is true, it'll never be publicly confirmed, probably.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: But let's remember who Joe Mixon is, just for a second,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: shall we?
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: 2014, when he was at Oklahoma, he was involved in
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: an incident with a female student. And they got into
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: an argument at a restaurant or sandwich shop or something,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: but they got in an argument. This woman... shoved him,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: then slapped him, and Joe Mixon, the football player, the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: man in the relationship, retaliated and punched her in the face,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: broke four bones, jaw, cheekbone, violent incident.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: He pled guilty to misdemeanor assault charge. It was an
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Alford plea, which basically means you admit guilt. One year
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: deferred sentence, 100 hours of community service, man counseling. There
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: was a civil lawsuit filed. They settled out of court.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Undisclosed terms. Certainly she got paid off. I would hope so.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Civil case, out of court. He didn't get much. He
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: had to pay her Yeah, there was something that happened
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: there in the 100 hours of community service. But the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: video was circulated. People remember the video at the time.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: It was ugly. Yeah. It was really ugly.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Very.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: And so when it first came up yesterday that he
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: was going to sign, that immediately was brought up. Because
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: John Schneider infamously said years ago that they would never
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: bring somebody in that was accused of basing. I'll call
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: it domestic violence, but let's just say man-on-woman crime.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Okay? Then there have been instances when they brought guys in, including,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you know, Frank Clark that was accused of that.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Yep, correct.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: So, and there was a lot of pushback. I mean,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: we talked about it, you know, and they kind of
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: danced around it. You know, at the end of the day,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: an NFL team's job is to win games. Everybody can
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: talk about character all they want. Does it matter? Does
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it not? Well, most of the time, not all the time,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: but most of the time, character takes a backseat to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the ability to win games and lose games. And I'm
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: just going to, I'm just going to, I'll say this
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: out loud with the phrase of, I wonder, dot, dot, dot.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I wonder. If this was the first time that the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: new ownership got involved in something football-wise.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Now... I thought of that. Again, we'll never know definitively, 100%,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: yes or no. But is Joe Mixon worth it? Is
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: he worth it? Now... Maybe it was as simple as
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: whatever the foot injury is and the physical and what
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: have you, they would have worked him out. So probably
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: looked okay. Yeah.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: They said, they said they worked him out.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Right. So that seemed to be okay. But then the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: physical is an easy thing to say, yeah, well, we
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: found something. We're good. We're not going to do it.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I wonder if there were some pushback, buyer's remorse, could
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: have come from anywhere.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because the last thing I saw was that he
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: was being signed to the practice squad.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: We all thought that yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, that's what we
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: all thought.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I even looked this morning, though, and there was nothing.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: That's kind of what we all thought. So I don't know.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I wonder. You know, you're the defending Super Bowl champions,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and so you have more goodwill and equity built up
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: than anybody else in the NFL today, on this particular
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: day on today.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: You can, you know, and when you think back, when
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: did the Seahawks draft guys like Malik McDowell, Frank Clark,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: et cetera? Well, they were at the top of the world.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: They were the kingpins of the NFL. You can get
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: away with a little bit more of that then. I just,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I wonder if, I mean, remember what's the Kosla family,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the wife, I don't even want to, my apologies on
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the names, but the matriarch of the family. She's kind
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: of the governor, right? Like she's the one that's, you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: just in terms of for the NFL purposes, the one
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: in charge. Although son and father have been a lot
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: more vocal on social media, as we all know. I
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: wonder if it got back to them. I wonder if
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: she said something. Maybe it was Tracy Schneider. I don't know.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: It just doesn't pass the sniff test. I'll say that.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: It doesn't pass the sniff test for me. Joe Mixon. Now,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: maybe it is as simple, like I said. God, it
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: could be really, it could be that simple. It could
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: be as simple as, you know what? Flip wasn't good.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: He looked slow. Didn't look quick. We didn't need him. Yeah, maybe.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things they could have said to, yeah.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things. They brought in Robert Henry Jr.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: off the Washington Commanders practice squad. And we'll talk about
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: him a little bit with, we don't, we have a
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: short show on Friday.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: I have a very short show.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I won't be here. Yeah, you have no show Friday.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I may try to squeeze Rang in tomorrow or Thursday because,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and he does, Rob does that, the podcast with Robert
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Turbin and Corbin Smith. And I know Corbin and Rob
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: both had Robert Henry Jr. as a guy that you
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: kind of had, they had him a pretty high draft grade.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: So like day three, but early day three. And they
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: liked him a lot. He's an unrafted rookie out of UTSA.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Didn't even get drafted. Goes to the commanders. They had
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: him on the practice squad. Now, you always ask yourself,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: why is he on the practice squad? Why is he
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: not playing right now? Whatever the case is. But I
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: know that there's some people who think highly of him.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks thought highly enough of him that they brought
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: him off the practice squad, put him on their active roster.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: They've got to keep him on the roster for three
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: weeks now. So they've invested in this guy a little bit,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: along with Emmanuel Wilson, George Helani, and Bayless Jones, who
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: also was signed off the practice squad as RB3. Uh,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Jakardi a right is still hurt, which is unfortunate. Cause
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I think, I think all this would be moot if
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: he was actually healthy, but maybe it's like, okay, juice
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: isn't worth the squeeze, whatever the old term is. Right.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: And Robert Henry jr. We got him, we got these
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: other guys and we'll just make do until sharps back and,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and Jadarian price is back. The running back position has
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: been an issue that there's just no doubt about that.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Like that's, that's, that's one thing that we do know definitively. Yes.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Jadarian price has been injured since day one. In various forms.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Held out of practices in training camp. Not, you know,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: keeping him bubble wrapped during the preseason. Then he plays
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: in the first game and he fumbles in the first game.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Or the second game, I guess it was. Yeah, fumbles
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: in the third game. All these things. Or fumbles in
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the fourth game. All these guys stay in place. Gets
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: hurt again. Then, meanwhile, we're watching Kenneth Walker go bananas
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: in Kansas City. And people are questioning it. I'm not
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: going to question not resigning Kenneth Walker. I just think it's...
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Two things, too early. And we know what they think
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: of this position. Right.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Well, and yeah, we knew that we were going to
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: have a, we were going to go backwards in the
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: running back room for at least a bit.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: For at least a bit. And they weren't willing to
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: spend what it would cost to keep him here, you know,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the 12, $ 14 million a year. So they did that.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: The Joe Mixon thing is just an interesting dynamic to me.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: It just is, it's a really, and only because he's
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: a big name. He's had a very nice career in
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the National Football League, but it started on a pretty
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: down note in 2014 when he punched that woman in Oklahoma.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: And not just punched her, hurt her.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Broke bones.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Like broke bones in her face. I just think it
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: would have been a bad look. I'm glad he's not
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: coming here.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: The fact that they danced with him, I don't have
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a problem with. I know some people have a problem
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: with just the fact they looked at it. I don't
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: have a problem with that. other than I think when
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: you do all your due diligence, you talk about it,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: maybe it's a combination of, hey, he's not worth it,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: maybe the foot's good enough, and maybe he'd be okay,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: but is it really worth bringing Joe Mixon in? Now, again,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: he's played on for two teams in the NFL since
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: he's in Houston. So he's bounced around, and he's had
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: a successful career. There's many that have forgotten about that,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: but there's also many that have not forgotten about it.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: So count me as one saying I'm glad he's not
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: coming here, Yeah. He's not coming to Seattle. I don't know.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I'll ask you, you're the female on the show. What
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: do you think?
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think that there should be any
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: room for anybody who's committing violence against anybody. Like if,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: if you had a normal job, yeah, you would be fired.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Right. Right.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: And you would then probably struggle to find another job
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: because people would ask you why you were fired. The
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: only problem here is that these are more, you know,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: it's more out there.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Do you have more of a problem? Cause I, let
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: me stop you there. Cause I, for me, like, dudes
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: want to get in a fight in a frat house
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: or on the, you know, whatever. That's what I think.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Assaulting women is just, I think that's where you draw
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the line.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no. And I would agree with that, but I
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: do think, yeah, fighting a frat house is different. I'm
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: thinking like you beat some guy up outside of a
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: bar or anything like that.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Somebody who like a true assault.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. Okay. Then I, then I have a, yeah,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I have a problem with that. I know there's a
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: lot of people out there that think it doesn't matter.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: All that matters is that they're football players and we
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: want them to help our team win. I don't know
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: that Joe Mixon is going to help your team win either.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I just don't think it's worth it.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: It's not worth it.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's just, I don't know.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: It's a murky thing.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: That I don't want to deal with. And I mean,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: his violence is not murky, but I'm saying the idea
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: of the argument over should they be allowed or should
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: people want somebody who's committed violence against another human being,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: especially a woman on their team. That I can't speak
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: to because if you have no problem with someone committing
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: violence against another human being as long as they help
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: your team win, that's your choice. I don't have that
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: same thought.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think, you know, we're four weeks into
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the season. No one's danced with him yet. Right.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Right, exactly. So I don't think it's just a Seahawks issue.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm curious about the kid they signed, Robert Henry Jr.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I know Rang and Corbin are both
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: high on him from the draft. They both thought he
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: would go. Okay, good. You know, and we know how
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: The running backs in this league, I mean, many guys
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: that have success as running backs in this league were
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: guys that weren't first-day picks and weren't first-round picks. I
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: know people will say, well, why wasn't he playing for Washington?
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: A lot of times teams will stash guys on the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: practice squad, especially an undrafted free agent. Just kind of
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: let's get him up to speed, whatever he needs to
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: work on, but Seattle obviously... saw enough. I'll say this.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I trust Seattle's personnel department all day long, all day long,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: which Schneider and his group do. So that part of it,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: they probably felt pretty good about this guy. The issue
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: is just the running back room. Now, Jory Epstein was
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: on earlier with Greg in her weekly visit. Epstein, I'm sorry, right? Epstein.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: I asked one, but I never got an answer.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: What are the files?
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Epstein files.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Epstein is her name. I don't want to confuse it.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: But Jory from Yahoo, who's their senior NFL correspondent, and
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: like she said, outside of one game, they've run the ball,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: at least yardage-wise, pretty effectively. But there's limitations on what
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: they can do. Like Emmanuel Wilson's not going to do
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: anything stretch outside. Hugh talked about that a little bit yesterday.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: He can maybe run between the tackles. He's going to
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: run downhill. He's going to knock guys back. But But
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: they need some juice at that position. Helani is what
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: he is. We've seen George Helani for years now. He's
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: a good third down back. He's a good blocking back.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Decent receiver. He's a No. 3. He should never, ever
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: be more than a No. 3 on your roster. And
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Jadarian Price being hurt. Charbonnet probably a couple weeks away.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Massive game this week against the 49ers all kind of
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: come into play.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: You need your defense to step up and help especially.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that with the Cougs with
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Alex and MK at one. Like At some point, though,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: your defense can't do everything.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: No, they can't do everything. That's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: You guys know that. I know that. You've got to
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: score touchdowns. You've got to be able to run the
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: football and all those things. Okay, we come back. We've
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: got to talk a little bit about the 49ers, just
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: who they are to us. I'm going to say who
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: they are to us.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll pose that question coming up next. Cracking
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Ticket Tuesday when you hear the sounder. 10th caller, 206-286-9595.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: You'll win tickets to the Kraken's next home game, not tonight,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: but the next one after tonight, which is not until
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: October 20th. Detroit in town, long road trip coming up
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: for Seattle after tonight. Which actually starts in Detroit on Friday,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you. So, away we go. The
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: 49ers are here. Lund at 2 o'clock. 49er hate will begin.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, can't wait for that. So.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I always look back and see what the history is
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: between the teams, like every week with the Seahawks, especially
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: playing division rivals. I think it's always hard when it's
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: like new coaches. Like players change, but coaches are kind
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: of the same, right? You know, McVay had this incredible
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: record for a while against NFC West teams. Like he
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: was undefeated for like the first four or five years.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Like it's crazy numbers to start. That's always kind of,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: that's leveled out obviously a little bit. But, you know,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: for me with the Seahawks, with Pete gone, you know,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: in terms of just Shanahan versus McDonald, Seattle's got the
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: advantage in the five games, including the playoff game. Seattle's
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: won three, 49ers won two. I always look back, though,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: there's one game that just jumps out at me, and
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: always probably will, and that would be December 10th, 2023.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Pete's last year here. 49ers came into town, beat Seattle 28-16.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Game didn't even feel that close. It was also a
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: game that really, for the first time, the 49er fans
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: kind of took over Lumen Field. Now, The 49ers do
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: a great job at traveling. They've got a great fan base.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: They travel. Seattle fans travel. Dallas fans travel. Pittsburgh fans travel.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot, yeah.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Green Bay fans travel. That year, after that 49ers game,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the Pittsburghs played here too, and there were back-to-back home
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: games in which Lumen Fuel was taken over by opposing fans.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: It was depressing.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: And I believe, a lot of us believe, that we're
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: covering the team then and those days, that that was.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: That was kind of the final nails in the Pete
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Carroll coffin, in a sense. The rumors were that ownership, Jody, Burt,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: and company, none too happy about the fact that the
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: team had slipped to a point where fans, remember the
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: home field advantage had disappeared?
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, completely gone.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And it was like, hey, we've now got opposing fans
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: taking over our stadium. This is what Seattle does to
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: other teams and has done since 2012. Yeah. taking over
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: other stadiums. Now that's happening to us here in Seattle.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: This can't happen to us. So that game was kind of,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: might have been it. And the Pittsburgh one, certainly a
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: couple weeks later. But McDonald's 3-2 against these guys. Lost
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: last year, obviously, the opener. The first game of the season, 17-13. Tonjes!
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: With the touchdown in the corner over Reek-Wollin. Seattle goes
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: down and wins 13-3. Huge game, if you remember. Home
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: field advantage and all that. And then they win the
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: playoff game a couple weeks later.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: 41-6.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Here's my question to 49451, and I'll pose it to you, Ashley,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: as well. Okay. In terms of your NFC West hate,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: is it the Niners or the Rams? Who has the belt?
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: It ebbs and it flows. Right now, it's the Rams
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: over the Niners. But my goodness, I mean, last Super
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Bowl run, I couldn't stand the Niners. Couldn't stand them.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: And then now, I haven't thought of them as as
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: much of a threat, so I don't mind them as much.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: And yet, they're the threat. They're 4-0. They're the bigger threat, right?
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: So I'm sure the hate will grow this week, for sure.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: But if you just said, who's your biggest rival right now?
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Is it the Rams?
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I would think so, just by the way the games
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: have gone.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I'm curious from Seahawks fans. 49451 on the Tacoma Dodge, Texan.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Get your texts or your talkbacks as well on the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. Red microphone. Speak freely in your thoughts. One
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: man's opinion. Now, Lund could change that dramatically at 2 o'clock. Right.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Probably will.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Could make us hate them even more.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: 100%. I think that the Rams are still a better
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: football team. Now, the records don't show it. We're four
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: weeks in. I think the Rams are a bigger threat.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: But And I find McVay far more unlikable than Shanahan.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: I think that's where I go.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I find Stafford more unlikable than Purdy.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't really think about Brock Purdy.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I find Puka to be just that.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Puka? Very unlikable.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Very unlikable. Yes. Now, I know he left you guys
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: at Washington.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I think he's also a creep and a weirdo.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: We just talked about Joe Mixon. Yeah. You bite women,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I think this isn't too far behind. So I'm not
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: a big, you know, like, no, I'm out on that
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: as well. Yep. So to me, it's still the Rams
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: number one, 49ers number two. Yes.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: And it's interesting because I get somebody that comments all
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: the time that they think it's on the text line.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: It's so baffling. How is it that you consider the
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: 49ers a rival? It's like, well, first of all, a
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: rival is someone you play regularly.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: In your division, yes, we used to be in the AFC.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: So yes, the Broncos used to be our rival.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't carry over to now.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: And a rivalry doesn't have... You can have old school
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: rivals that stay a rival for a long time, but
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: rivalries can also evolve and change. And if you have
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: the top two teams in a division that create a rivalry,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: because it's a natural rivalry, they play each other twice
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: a year, that is still a rivalry.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: We have a hard time in Seattle with rivals. I
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: think finding them. There's no rival for the Mariners. Maybe Toronto? Yeah.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's not San Diego?
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Nothing like a force created for marketing.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: I'd say Astros.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think they're kind of hated by everybody.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: The Astros are sort of like the Lakers.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: But if there's somebody you want to beat more than anybody,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: who is it?
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's your rival. And I think in
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: this case, it's probably a push. And it may depend,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: like you just said, on the year.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: But if you go back and it's... you know, when
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: they switched, when they, the Seahawks, switched divisions, yeah, that,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: because before, you know, when I was growing up, it
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: was kind of split between the Raiders and the Broncos. Like,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: they did, like, the, they did the both Raider Buster
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: and Bronco Buster t-shirts back then. Yeah. You know, and
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the posters and all that stuff. And pretty simply, you
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: see all the Kostakis brothers, whatever their names were, they
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: did the posters and, like, it was kind of split.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: They did the whole you know, Bronco Buster Song, the Raiders.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: It was really split between the two. I mean, I'll
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: never forget, I went to a game once in the
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Kingdome with the Broncos and the Seahawks, and I'll never forget,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Ronnie Lee was an offensive lineman for the Seahawks. Man,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: this guy was a bad dude. I mean, he looked apart, everything.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: And he got in a fight with Carl Mecklenburg, and
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: literally it started at midfield, and it ended at the
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: other end of the field. Like, him and the goofy
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: albino linebacker was just going toe to toe. I mean,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: it was like, Oh, like what the, that was a,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: and you know, everyone hated Elway Raiders had quarterbacks who
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: were complaining, you know, I think it was, was it
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Mark Wilson famously who's from Shorecrest high school complaining about
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: the crowd and all that kind of stuff. And that's
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: when they had the rule for a while, but it
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: was kind of split and it's kind of like that
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: way now. Yeah. Like Rams, Rams and 49ers are kind
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: of like the Broncos and the Raiders were back in
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the eighties. Like, Like, just pick your week and pick
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: your poison, who the team is you hate the most.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: And it was felt both ways. Right. Because of the
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: top three, you know, Kansas City wasn't as good back then.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Kansas City wasn't Kansas City that you know now. And
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: the Chargers were always just like, nobody cares. And you
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: know what's funny? All these years later, Chargers, nobody cares.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Still nobody cares.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: San Diego, L.A., Herbert, Dan Fouts, doesn't matter who the
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: quarterback is. Nobody cares about you guys. But yeah, there
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: will be juice in the stands. I think the 49ers
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: create more energy here for this reason. There will be
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: 49er fans here in the stands. There will be 49er
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: fans at Lumen Field. Now, I think we've gotten past
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: the point. I do believe, I think, I hope, we've
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: gotten past the point of people doing campaigns to make
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: sure that nobody sells their tickets to opposing fans, 49er fans,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: but they will find their way into the building. Yes.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: And having been to Levi's Stadium, God, every year since
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: it opened, which was what, 2014 or something? they've, you know,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: let's see, 12 years, yeah, 12 years there at Levi's Stadium.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: We Seattle fans, we, you Seattle fans, do a good
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: job of going to Levi's Stadium and kind of filling
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: it out. Now, that's such a weird stadium because the
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: one side that has the sun beating down on it,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: people don't go into the stands until the sun goes
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: down and all that. But, like, There will be fans here,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: and there will be juice here, more so than the Rams.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: The Rams don't travel. The fans don't travel.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Well, and that's what I was going to say, too.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I wonder if some of it has to do with
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: the fans, because 49ers fans are at least passionate about
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: their team. I don't know any Rams fans.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: No. I don't know if there are any Rams fans.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: They might still all be in St. Louis. Yeah. Or
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: maybe even Anaheim.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: But it's not like passionate.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: No.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Lund will change that for us at 2 o'clock today. Yeah.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: We'll take a break. Come back. I got a little
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: something good for you.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay, okay.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Something good. We'll do that coming up next. Last call
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: for the Mayor IPA. So every year, I shouldn't say
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: every year, for the last, I guess it'll be the
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: third or fourth year we've done this, we've saved a
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: keg of the Mayor IPA. And we have a last
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: keg party. And then we put a wrap on everything
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: from the golf tournament to the beer. And we end up,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: we send all the money out to our three charities,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Helinski's Hope, which I'm going to get back to in
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: a second, Avery Huffman, DIPG Foundation, Pediatric Brain Cancer. It's
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: a tumor that basically attaches itself to the base of
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the brain in young people. And there's no cure. Our
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: friend Brandon Huffman's daughter, Avery, had that and passed away
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: because of that. And then the Jordan Morris Foundation, a
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Sounders player who does incredible work with type 1 diabetes
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: and especially young people with type 1 diabetes in our community,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: soccer camps, support system as well at Children's Hospital as
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: well as hosting a a type one diabetic after every
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: home and away game, even international competitions. Um, yeah. And
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: so we support those three very grassroots foundations. And so
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: we saved the, we sit the keg, uh, which debuted
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: at the end of August at the, at Georgetown brewing, uh,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: the beer, I should say. And it sells out. I
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: think this year was like nine days. It sold out quickly,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: but we, we keep the one keg in the cooler
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: and we have a final keg party. It's coming up
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: this Thursday at Imbibe in Maple Valley. And it's the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: last call, so you will be there. It'll be a
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: ton of fun. Starts at 6 o'clock. And I can't wait.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: We're going to get after it a little bit and
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: have some fun, drink some beer, and all the money, 100%
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: of the proceeds go to charity. And it's just a fun,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: fun day. What's the Thursday night game this week? Do
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: we know?
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I looked the other day and now all of a
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: sudden I can't.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Why do I think it's not great? Is Atlanta playing
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: again on a primetime game?
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: They are playing a primetime game this week, but it's
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: not the Thursday game.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: That's weird because I thought that's all that they did
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: is they played those games.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: They're playing Sunday night, I believe. Sunday night football this week.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Are they really? What is with the NFL? Who thought
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Atlanta was going to be... Tampa Bay-Dallas. That's a good game.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, they are playing... Yeah, it's... Tampa Bay-Dallas. Yeah, no,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: but I was saying that Atlanta, I was looking. Yeah,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: they're playing Baltimore on Sunday night football.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, God.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Tampa Bay-Dallas.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Actually, Atlanta looked good last night.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: They did.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: But still, again... Panics makes a little bit of a difference.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: But who thought going into this year that they should say.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Three straight weeks. Three straight primetime games for Atlanta.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Well, and also, I feel like they should balance the
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: schedule because the Seahawks have... a Thursday night, a Sunday night,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: and a Monday night, all three in a row.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's a good point.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're getting people fatigued of those teams. It
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: should be more spread out.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: We should also, let me just, quick little note. Football
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: scheduling should be the easiest scheduling you do.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Right?
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't it be?
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: I would think so.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: You play 12 games in college, you play 17 in
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: the NFL. It really shouldn't be difficult. It's not like
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: you're playing 84 in the NHL, 82 in the NBA,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: or 162 in baseball, right? It should be fairly easy.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize this. I was just talking to the
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: sideline reporter for the University of Washington, Dave Mahler.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: I've heard of him.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Dave Mahler. Do you know that the Huskies are
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: playing back-to-back Friday night games?
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, I saw that.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: So they got this week at home against the Iowa Hawkeyes.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Next week they go to West Lafayette to play Purdue. Yes.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: The good news is you're playing Purdue in football, not
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: in basketball. Yeah, right. It doesn't go well for you
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: if you play them in basketball because they're good. Matt
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Painter seems really good. You're not going to Mackey Arena.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: You're going to their football stadium. It's a lot better.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: But back-to-back Friday games? And this Friday, there's like six
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Friday night games. Like the Big 12 has a game,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: the Big 10 has a game, the Pac-12 has a game,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: and I think the ACC has a game. And there
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: might even be like an American Conference game. But anyway.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I digress. So, good game. Yeah. How about that, Tampa
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Bay and Dallas? We'll be watching that game. 6 o'clock
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: is the last call for the mayor, the final keg party,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: 6 p.m. this Thursday at Imbibe Bottle House and Tap
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Room in Maple Valley. It's right on 169. So, if
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: you're down in southeast King County, if you're in Kent, Auburn,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Maple Valley, the Claw, Issaquah, it's easy to get to.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: If you're in any of those locations, or not, I'd
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: invite everybody to come down, but It's down there in
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Maple Valley. It is the Mayor of Maple Valley Open
• 35:19

• 35:32
  Speaker 1: next year. Boom, that's it. That's it. The cool thing
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: is they have the crawler. things. Have you ever seen crawlers?
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: You know what a crawler is?
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: It's like the smaller growler, right?
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: It's a can.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: So it's basically... Oh, yeah.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: It looks like a little keg can thing, right?
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: It's like a fat, stumpy one, isn't it? It's like
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: a bigger... I think it's 32 ounces. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: And you can can a beer. They have a little canner. Boom.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Not the old cannery, like the furniture place down in Sumner,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: but like a cannery.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: So if you want to have a beer and it'll
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: stay in the can, they'll seal the can up and
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: it So you can get some to go as well. So, uh, yeah.

• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I'm going to, I'm going to nauseate you guys that
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: can't go with a promotion and let you know about
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: this thing, but it's going to be a ton of
• 36:23

  Speaker 1: No, 3-2. 3-2. You think you got problems? We got problems, people.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: It's true, you do.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: We have arguably the worst offense in the history of
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: college football. Am I exaggerating?
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Not really.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: MK and Alex will tell you how bad things are.
