- 0:00Speaker 1: I want to throw this out. I'm at I'm out
- 0:03Speaker 1: and about. I'm just out and about. And someone in
- 0:07Speaker 1: the sports business in this town says to me, do
- 0:14Speaker 1: you think there's as much excitement?
- 0:16Speaker 2: What's the level?
- 0:17Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like there's as much juice for this
- 0:21Speaker 1: Seahawk potential playoff run and where they are as maybe
- 0:28Speaker 1: we had here in this town in you know, the Heyday,
- 0:32Speaker 1: the twenty twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen seasons.
- 0:35Speaker 3: And I.
- 0:37Speaker 1: This guy caught me off guard with it, and I
- 0:39Speaker 1: thought about it for a second, and I never know
- 0:42Speaker 1: how to gauge things. Honestly, in our world, we all
- 0:46Speaker 1: have different If you're sitting in the chair I sit in,
- 0:49Speaker 1: it's different than the chair that Jessaman sits in, or
- 0:52Speaker 1: that Ander sits in, or any of you listening sit in.
- 0:55Speaker 1: We all have come from a different place in terms
- 0:58Speaker 1: of how we view different sports. So what I mean
- 1:00Speaker 1: by that is, you know, for a lot of years,
- 1:03Speaker 1: I was so ingrained in it my whole life from
- 1:07Speaker 1: July until whenever the season ended. Was where are we
- 1:11Speaker 1: this week? What time are we flying out? What time
- 1:13Speaker 1: are we on the air? Do we have a pre
- 1:15Speaker 1: ana post game show? How many stories we have to
- 1:18Speaker 1: do for the newscast, and we latch us and it
- 1:21Speaker 1: always felt massive to me because of all that stuff.
- 1:24Speaker 2: We were doing.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Even in years where this team wasn't great, you know,
- 1:29Speaker 1: like the twenty eighteen season they lost in the wildcard round,
- 1:33Speaker 1: like eh, whatever, right, like it just even those years,
- 1:36Speaker 1: it still felt big. Things felt big with the Seahawks,
- 1:38Speaker 1: and it felt like and I always felt like the
- 1:40Speaker 1: whole town was just like going crazy about it. It
- 1:44Speaker 1: was also new and fresh in a sense that little
- 1:47Speaker 1: run the Hawks had before under Pete Carroll, and then
- 1:49Speaker 1: it got a little stale. It got a little stale
- 1:53Speaker 1: all those years. I mean it went to the playoffs
- 1:56Speaker 1: from twenty twelve through twenty sixteen, so eight playoff appearances,
- 2:01Speaker 1: take a step back in twenty seventeen, even though they
- 2:03Speaker 1: were nine and seven. Then they go to three more.
- 2:06Speaker 1: So that stretch of time, they were going to postseason
- 2:09Speaker 1: every single year with one exception, for a decade. Every
- 2:14Speaker 1: single year, you as a Seahawks fan just expected them
- 2:17Speaker 1: to be there. They're going to be in the playoffs
- 2:20Speaker 1: and then and again, I'll base it on this radio station.
- 2:24Speaker 1: The criticism that Pete Carroll and John Schneider were getting
- 2:27Speaker 1: from you know, years twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty.
- 2:31Speaker 2: They're going to the playoffs.
- 2:33Speaker 1: They're winning ten eleven games during the they won twelve
- 2:36Speaker 1: games in twenty twenty. Now that twenty twenty is take
- 2:39Speaker 1: that out of there. Let's just go back the other ones.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Twenty nineteen eleven wins, twenty eighteen, ten wins, twenty sixteen, ten,
- 2:46Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, ten, twelve, thirteen eleven. This team was winning
- 2:50Speaker 1: double digit games every year. It was a foregone conclusion.
- 2:53Speaker 1: You're going to the postseason. And then we started hearing
- 2:57Speaker 1: and if my buddy Tim Benz is listening in Pittsburgh,
- 2:59Speaker 1: this sound familiar. Then we started hearing like, when are
- 3:04Speaker 1: they gonna win something? Baltimore's well, by the way, yeah,
- 3:07Speaker 1: Baltimore's a great John Harbaugh, what are they gonna win something?
- 3:10Speaker 1: I don't want to say we got spoiled. I don't
- 3:13Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't think that's the case.
- 3:15Speaker 1: I don't think that's the right terminology. But I think
- 3:17Speaker 1: we became somewhat complacent until maybe they were going to
- 3:20Speaker 1: get to the next level, i e. In a conference
- 3:23Speaker 1: championship game or a Super Bowl, which of course we
- 3:25Speaker 1: all know they have not been back to since twenty
- 3:27Speaker 1: fourteen or that season twenty fifteen calendar year. But this
- 3:33Speaker 1: person asked me, like, do you feel like there's that
- 3:34Speaker 1: same juice, that same energy in the town that we
- 3:38Speaker 1: had during those years. And my answer was, I don't
- 3:44Speaker 1: think so. Now, before you guys say anything, I don't
- 3:48Speaker 1: think so. Answer may be tainted by the following. We
- 3:53Speaker 1: just came off this incredible emotional ride with the baseball team,
- 3:58Speaker 1: because that was so unim having actual, wait for it,
- 4:03Speaker 1: home playoff games at Team Mobile Park, not just one
- 4:06Speaker 1: where you didn't score on eighteen innings over the course
- 4:08Speaker 1: of twenty two years or whatever it was. No, we
- 4:11Speaker 1: had Actually there was juice in this town that I
- 4:14Speaker 1: haven't felt in a long time for sports. I know
- 4:18Speaker 1: your Husky fans probably felt a little bit of that
- 4:20Speaker 1: when they went to the National Championship game. But again
- 4:22Speaker 1: this is going to be shocking to some, especially from
- 4:24Speaker 1: three to seven. Not everybody here is a big, diehard
- 4:27Speaker 1: Husky fan. Everyone in this town that's listing sports radio
- 4:31Speaker 1: is a Mariner fan or a Seahawk fan. Promptly, so,
- 4:33Speaker 1: when the Mariners went on that run.
- 4:35Speaker 2: We were. The motions were high.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I mean I I think back to covering the Seahawk
- 4:41Speaker 1: game against Tampa and then going going next door to
- 4:43Speaker 1: cover the game.
- 4:44Speaker 2: I actually didn't cover. I just went there.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Yeah, because covering is a different term cover do interviews.
- 4:49Speaker 1: I just went and sat in the press box. Anyway,
- 4:52Speaker 1: I let j Justman do the heavy lifting. But going
- 4:55Speaker 1: but going to those two games, the Seahawk game and
- 4:58Speaker 1: after that Mariner win, coming outside because where they had
- 5:01Speaker 1: to come from behind, get the win and get Scooble,
- 5:04Speaker 1: and it was like occidental Royal bron That whole area
- 5:08Speaker 1: was it was on.
- 5:10Speaker 2: It was unbelieved.
- 5:10Speaker 1: I've never experienced anything like that because I never left
- 5:12Speaker 1: the stadium early enough after a playoff win by the Seahawks.
- 5:14Speaker 2: We're always inside.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Late, so I'd never been outside immediately after whole week.
- 5:19Speaker 1: How the emotions for it was so uplifting. I just
- 5:23Speaker 1: think we have great fans here, and every town's gonna
- 5:24Speaker 1: say that, every city he's going to say that, every
- 5:26Speaker 1: talk show is probably gonna say that.
- 5:27Speaker 2: I think we have great fans here.
- 5:29Speaker 1: But that was the emotions that we and then you
- 5:32Speaker 1: know that Friday night, Gino Grand slam cal home run
- 5:37Speaker 1: before that, all the emotion that goes into that. Yeah,
- 5:39Speaker 1: they didn't win the series, but all the emotion we
- 5:42Speaker 1: had so much. Do we have the bandwidth to do
- 5:46Speaker 1: it all over again? It's different in football because it's
- 5:49Speaker 1: one game a week and it may just be one,
- 5:52Speaker 1: it could be two.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Whatever.
- 5:55Speaker 1: But I guess my question to everybody, and maybe Jessman's
- 5:59Speaker 1: missed you guys, so she says, hey, maybe we can
- 6:01Speaker 1: get some talkbacks today. We can do that, go to
- 6:04Speaker 1: the talkback line. All you have to do is go
- 6:07Speaker 1: to the iHeartRadio app. What do you do with the
- 6:09Speaker 1: iHeart Radio app? Do you click on it? There's a
- 6:11Speaker 1: little red microphone in the ninety three point three KJRFM
- 6:13Speaker 1: part of it. I know a lot of you guys
- 6:15Speaker 1: listen on the app because, frankly, it's a really good signal.
- 6:17Speaker 1: It's really clear, it's very easy.
- 6:18Speaker 4: It's fantastic.
- 6:20Speaker 1: But give me your thoughts on that, like on a
- 6:23Speaker 1: scale even of one to ten, and maybe even compare
- 6:26Speaker 1: it to where what you were feeling in October? Where
- 6:28Speaker 1: are you with this Hawks team? How jacked are you? Are?
- 6:31Speaker 5: You?
- 6:32Speaker 2: Are you?
- 6:32Speaker 1: Is it fresh again? I think it is new team
- 6:34Speaker 1: new coach, new quarterback, new everything outside of John Schneider,
- 6:38Speaker 1: same thing. I mean, I'm extremely excited as a fan
- 6:41Speaker 1: just to get to watch hopefully three games. I'm extremely excited.
- 6:45Speaker 1: This is what you hope for every year. But where
- 6:48Speaker 1: are you, guys? So go to the talkback give us
- 6:50Speaker 1: your thoughts just I mean, this is a simple, stupid
- 6:53Speaker 1: sports radio topic as it gets. But I am curious
- 6:55Speaker 1: because when the guy brought it up to me, I went, oh, interesting,
- 6:58Speaker 1: I don't know. We talk a lot of Seahawks on
- 6:59Speaker 1: our station. That's what we do probably eighty percent of
- 7:02Speaker 1: the time, as everyone does in this market. But are
- 7:06Speaker 1: we at that same level of just geeked out? Blue Friday?
- 7:10Speaker 1: I mean, God, think back to then. Blue Friday was
- 7:13Speaker 1: a thing. That's kind of one of the things I
- 7:16Speaker 1: looked at, like as a barometer. Blue Friday was a
- 7:18Speaker 1: thing back in twenty twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, they got
- 7:25Speaker 1: its Blue Friday. Everyone was you wore blue, or you
- 7:29Speaker 1: wore Seahawks, or you wore both. That's what you did
- 7:33Speaker 1: like and that was a like if you didn't like,
- 7:35Speaker 1: people like what the hell's wrong with you? Like, why
- 7:37Speaker 1: are you not wearing Seahawks stuff.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Today.
- 7:40Speaker 2: It's Blue Friday.
- 7:41Speaker 1: They have a game, it's the day before, the day before,
- 7:44Speaker 1: as Pete would say, they got a game in a
- 7:45Speaker 1: couple days. Why why are you not celebrating Blue Friday.
- 7:47Speaker 1: We used to do stuff down at a loom and
- 7:49Speaker 1: field in the parking lot on Fridays with live shots.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Remember Bill Wixie, you go down there and do stuff.
- 7:53Speaker 1: It was a thing. I don't I don't know. Maybe
- 7:55Speaker 1: it still is, so you guys tell me. I'm just curious.
- 7:58Speaker 1: The guy got me thinking along the waist, where where
- 8:00Speaker 1: are we in terms of that hole? Because this is
- 8:03Speaker 1: a special team. I think part of twenty thirteen was
- 8:08Speaker 1: even though they had to win that last game too
- 8:10Speaker 1: just to get the number one seed, you could see
- 8:12Speaker 1: how good they were. They were an absolute wagon. I'll
- 8:15Speaker 1: bring this up with Lundon maybe and even with Aaron.
- 8:20Speaker 1: This team's different. But I think the only difference is
- 8:23Speaker 1: there's two other teams in this division that never let
- 8:26Speaker 1: you feel comfortable this year. The Rams of the forty
- 8:29Speaker 1: nine ers never let you feel comfortable, and the possibility
- 8:33Speaker 1: of getting the one seed much less winning the AFC West,
- 8:37Speaker 1: but winning the AFC wes first and getting the one
- 8:39Speaker 1: seed when this team lost week won the forty nine ers,
- 8:43Speaker 1: then the Jason Myers field goal attempt comes up short
- 8:46Speaker 1: in LA. None of us were thinking about a one seed,
- 8:49Speaker 1: and if you're not the one seed, you're probably not
- 8:50Speaker 1: thinking Wow, true super Bowl contender. That all changed. I
- 8:53Speaker 1: don't think the other two teams gave us the opportunity
- 8:55Speaker 1: to feel comfortable. I don't think the other two teams
- 8:57Speaker 1: gave us an opportunity to kind of feel like, hey man,
- 8:59Speaker 1: this thing's really special.
- 9:00Speaker 3: It is.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Make no mistake. By the way, we'll also check the
- 9:03Speaker 1: text coming up at two thirty. Big News text line
- 9:08Speaker 1: is now sponsored Tacoma Dodge text line shop Tacoma Dodge
- 9:11Speaker 1: Chrysler Jeep Ram at the corner of thirty eighth and
- 9:13Speaker 1: South to come away the intersection of savings Big Welcome
- 9:16Speaker 1: to Tacoma Dodge and the text line four nine, four
- 9:19Speaker 1: or five to one. I want your thoughts on that.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Where are we here on the Tuesday, just a easy, crazy,
- 9:25Speaker 1: stupid sports radio one to ten. Where are you at
- 9:27Speaker 1: in terms of your enthusiasm? And again, maybe if you
- 9:29Speaker 1: want to use as a comparison the Mariners, you were,
- 9:32Speaker 1: if you weren't out of ten for the Mariners in October.
- 9:35Speaker 2: I want to know why, and who are you? And
- 9:37Speaker 2: what's wrong with you?
- 9:38Speaker 1: Okay, all those things would come into play, But let's
- 9:41Speaker 1: just say that's a ten. Okay, that's a ten. Where
- 9:44Speaker 1: are you so? And I'll start with you.
- 9:47Speaker 6: With the Seahawks, I'm probably if the Mariners was a ten,
- 9:51Speaker 6: I'm probably at like an eight and a half right now.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Okay, So will one win? Change that and push it up?
- 9:56Speaker 1: Push the needle up. Like when we see the crowd
- 9:59Speaker 1: noise in the stadium, we're climate player, It's like, can
- 10:01Speaker 1: we get to one hundred and five? One hundred and six?
- 10:05Speaker 1: So the decibel level will amp up for you if
- 10:07Speaker 1: they win on Sunday. Yeah, I think it's weird because, like,
- 10:10Speaker 1: I still expect them to win. Does that make sense
- 10:11Speaker 1: what I'm saying that, Like, Hey, does it feel different
- 10:13Speaker 1: than it does ten years ago?
- 10:15Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 10:15Speaker 2: It does? It does.
- 10:16Speaker 6: I think that there's an overwhelmingly less amount of hype
- 10:20Speaker 6: with this team. I don't know if it's because maybe
- 10:22Speaker 6: the personality. Okay there, Okay, no, I'm I'm not saying that.
- 10:27Speaker 1: No, no way, I think I hadn't thought of that. Yeah,
- 10:32Speaker 1: this team's got great personalities. Yes, this team's got a
- 10:35Speaker 1: lot going on. Guys that can talk. Leonard Williams is awesome.
- 10:38Speaker 1: There's some guys on this, but that team was if
- 10:42Speaker 1: you want to put person like, if you want to
- 10:44Speaker 1: build an NFL Personality Hall of Fame, they're a unanimous
- 10:47Speaker 1: first ballot selection. Yes, I mean Marshawn mister mister invincible
- 10:55Speaker 1: at quarterback, Angry Doug Baldwin. And then you go to
- 10:59Speaker 1: the defensive side and it's just everybody. Yeah, like the
- 11:01Speaker 1: personalities were through the roof. Yeah, so maybe that is
- 11:04Speaker 1: part of it. These guys are a little bit more
- 11:06Speaker 1: quiet about how they go about their way, which is
- 11:08Speaker 1: sort of also, to be honest with you, a reflection
- 11:11Speaker 1: of the coach. Pete was in your face, Here we go,
- 11:15Speaker 1: can't wait, competition Tuesday, you know, tell the truth Monday,
- 11:19Speaker 1: Here we go, can you win a game in the
- 11:20Speaker 1: first card, all that stuff. He was a lot more
- 11:25Speaker 1: in your face. Mike's more buttoned down. So maybe that's
- 11:29Speaker 1: part of it.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Jeff, you think, well, I.
- 11:31Speaker 4: Think that there's two things in my head.
- 11:32Speaker 7: The first one is the fact that it's not the
- 11:35Speaker 7: first time, right, We're not like back then they were
- 11:38Speaker 7: looking for the first Super Bowl.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Win ever exactly.
- 11:43Speaker 7: So I think that that has a big part to
- 11:45Speaker 7: do with it. With the fan, you know, you're witnessing history, right,
- 11:49Speaker 7: and I think that plays a lot more in baseball
- 11:52Speaker 7: than football. But it did play into that whole ramp up,
- 11:55Speaker 7: especially because Russell's rookie year. I mean, they were a
- 11:58Speaker 7: play away from actually as.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Yeah, because they were a Matt Bryant don't call a
- 12:03Speaker 1: time outfield goal miss away from from going to the
- 12:05Speaker 1: NFC Championship in that year.
- 12:06Speaker 7: Yeah, and then so the potential was already building, and
- 12:09Speaker 7: then the way they dominated the end of the regular
- 12:11Speaker 7: season in twenty thirteen was just they had all the
- 12:14Speaker 7: momentum heading into that.
- 12:15Speaker 4: So I think that's part of it. The other part
- 12:18Speaker 4: is that I don't know that fans.
- 12:21Speaker 7: I think there's a little bit of confusion because I
- 12:23Speaker 7: don't think people expected Mike McDonald to be this successful
- 12:26Speaker 7: in just the second year of his tenure here. Like,
- 12:29Speaker 7: I know that they had the talent and everything, but
- 12:31Speaker 7: going from over a decade of Pete Carroll to a
- 12:34Speaker 7: brand new coach who had first time head coach, Yeah,
- 12:36Speaker 7: I think that it's almost like, wait, are we actually
- 12:40Speaker 7: that good?
- 12:41Speaker 1: Well, you were bringing in a name either, right, Yes,
- 12:44Speaker 1: he was a name, he was, but he was Ben
- 12:46Speaker 1: Johnson was more of a name because he's an offensive coach. Yeah,
- 12:48Speaker 1: if you're bringing an assistant Ben, even though we all
- 12:51Speaker 1: know the genius it is Mike McDonald and diehard fans
- 12:54Speaker 1: know what he was doing in Baltimore. Of the average
- 12:56Speaker 1: fans like, you know, Mike Donald, and again he's a
- 12:58Speaker 1: little more quiet, little more subdued, dude, you were bringing in, Hey,
- 13:02Speaker 1: you're bringing in John Harbaugh or Mike Tomlin, right, Like,
- 13:04Speaker 1: you're not bringing that guy in even Mike Vrabel going
- 13:06Speaker 1: back to New England.
- 13:07Speaker 2: It's different.
- 13:08Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:08Speaker 1: I think I think those I think all those things
- 13:10Speaker 1: come into play again. I think we're going to see
- 13:12Speaker 1: this thing amp up like nobody's business. I think maybe
- 13:15Speaker 1: the bigger thing is and maybe what this guy was
- 13:17Speaker 1: referring to might have just been compared to what we
- 13:20Speaker 1: had in October, which was just epic. And I think
- 13:23Speaker 1: I think what you said was true. It's like we've
- 13:25Speaker 1: never seen this team get to the World Series. The
- 13:27Speaker 1: expectations I think also for our football team, whether it's
- 13:31Speaker 1: Mike McDonald Pete Carroll, whoever's coaching Mike co Lomber, doesn't matter.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I think the expectations for the football team are significantly
- 13:39Speaker 1: higher than they are for the baseball team. I think
- 13:41Speaker 1: we have a bar that's way higher. I think our
- 13:44Speaker 1: bar for the football team is that at the very
- 13:46Speaker 1: very top as it can be, as high as it
- 13:48Speaker 1: can be. Agree, because Mike got him to the Super Bowl,
- 13:50Speaker 1: they lost, Pete got him there, they won, then they
- 13:52Speaker 1: lost again.
- 13:53Speaker 2: But they've I mean you look through the years they've they've.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Been to the playoffs in the last fifteen years more
- 13:59Speaker 1: off than nine. Like, they've done a lot playoff wise
- 14:03Speaker 1: over the years. So yeah, I think, listen, we we've
- 14:07Speaker 1: got a we got a lot going on. Let me
- 14:09Speaker 1: get a couple things for your first fall sports right.

- 15:08Speaker 4: Man, Yeah, how do we build that momentum?
- 15:11Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 15:11Speaker 1: Well, I I think the momentum will come from the crowd. Yeah,
- 15:16Speaker 1: I think, And it just it feels like I'll ask
- 15:20Speaker 1: Levine this. I'm curious, like, did it come back this year?
- 15:23Speaker 1: Was the end of last year? When did the crowd
- 15:25Speaker 1: come back? And I say not It's not like they've
- 15:27Speaker 1: been playing before empty seats by any stretch of the imagination.
- 15:30Speaker 1: But when did it come back and become a factor again.
- 15:33Speaker 1: When was it truly our home stadium? When was lumin Field?
- 15:37Speaker 1: Was it midway through this year? Was it last year?
- 15:40Speaker 1: Because I think that and I don't think there's any
- 15:42Speaker 1: doubt that you're going to see that place be absolutely
- 15:45Speaker 1: old school off the hook.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Here we go.
- 15:47Speaker 1: If you get near the south end zone, all you're
- 15:50Speaker 1: going to see are guys drinking, bush lights and neck tattoos.
- 15:54Speaker 1: It's going to scare the daylights out of you, face
- 15:56Speaker 1: painted and all that kind of crazy stuff. Yeah, it's
- 15:59Speaker 1: good to be awesome, and the crowd will make a
- 16:02Speaker 1: difference on Saturday, There's no doubt about it.
- 16:04Speaker 2: Okay, we'll come back.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Aaron Levine, Fox thirteen is gonna join us next Jacob
- 16:07Speaker 1: Alanson from the Crack at one forty five, and then

- 16:44Speaker 1: had this guy on my show forever, and I feel bad.
- 16:46Speaker 1: I consider I'm a good friend and former co worker.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Who I miss. I miss the whole crew over there
- 16:51Speaker 1: at Fox thirteen. Fox thirteen sports director and the King
- 16:56Speaker 1: of Jeopardy. It is Aaron Levin.
- 16:58Speaker 2: How are you, buddy, I'm not the King.
- 17:01Speaker 9: I lost to my fourth game, but I appreciate you
- 17:04Speaker 9: and it's great to be back.
- 17:04Speaker 1: On I know how much work and I got to
- 17:07Speaker 1: the amount of work Aaron went in did prepping for
- 17:09Speaker 1: not just like a few months, but for a few
- 17:11Speaker 1: years is remarkable. I'm glad to see it paid off.
- 17:13Speaker 1: I know it was a dream for you. I haven't
- 17:14Speaker 1: had a chance to tell you on the air. Man,
- 17:15Speaker 1: I'm so happy for you. I know you get to
- 17:17Speaker 1: go back with this summer right and compete again.
- 17:19Speaker 2: Is that right?
- 17:20Speaker 10: Actually?
- 17:21Speaker 9: My episode Quarterfinals of the Tournament Champions is next Monday
- 17:24Speaker 9: seven thirty on Como. So I actually taped it two
- 17:27Speaker 9: days after the Seahawks game at the Rams in Los Angeles.
- 17:31Speaker 10: How's that for timing?
- 17:32Speaker 2: It's perfect.
- 17:32Speaker 9: First air date was right around the Mariners the playoff run,
- 17:35Speaker 9: and my tournament champions air date is right around the
- 17:38Speaker 9: Seahawks playoff run.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Wow, that's awesome. Well, let's talk Seahawks first.
- 17:42Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you this because I brought this up
- 17:43Speaker 1: in my show at the start of the show today,
- 17:45Speaker 1: somebody came up to me that's in sports in our area.
- 17:49Speaker 1: I'm not going to go any deep in that, but
- 17:50Speaker 1: he works in sports, and he said, do you feel
- 17:53Speaker 1: the same excitement level for the Seahawks and the playoffs
- 17:57Speaker 1: and what they could be doing as a top seeds
- 18:00Speaker 1: you did in twenty thirteen, even twenty twelve when they
- 18:03Speaker 1: didn't get to it, when they weren't the top seed,
- 18:04Speaker 1: or twelve thirteen, fourteen in that range. And I said,
- 18:07Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I'm not as I don't know.
- 18:11Speaker 1: I couldn't answer the question. You're in it every day.
- 18:14Speaker 1: You guys carry the games, you pregame, post game, you're
- 18:16Speaker 1: at the stadium. Do you feel that same enthusiasm we
- 18:19Speaker 1: had the first few years of the Carroll era or not.
- 18:23Speaker 10: I absolutely do.
- 18:24Speaker 9: In fact, I appreciate it even more given that it's
- 18:27Speaker 9: been such a long time since we've even had a
- 18:29Speaker 9: playoff game in Seattle with fans in the stands.
- 18:31Speaker 10: It's been nine years.
- 18:32Speaker 9: Become that one COVID year nobody was in the stands,
- 18:35Speaker 9: And we also realize now how hard it is to
- 18:38Speaker 9: get back to the super Bowl. I think there was
- 18:39Speaker 9: a sense of it after those years with the last
- 18:43Speaker 9: year of Homegren and Maura and then Carol taken over
- 18:45Speaker 9: and them rebuilding that and it hadn't been a while
- 18:47Speaker 9: since going to the super Bowl since the two thousand
- 18:50Speaker 9: and five season. I think we feel that again and
- 18:52Speaker 9: it's just as exciting. And to have a chance to
- 18:55Speaker 9: do it against your divisional rivals along the way in
- 18:58Speaker 9: a season where not a lot of people outside of
- 19:01Speaker 9: Seattle and even certain people inside Seattle didn't give the
- 19:04Speaker 9: Seahawks a chance to not only win the division but
- 19:07Speaker 9: be a Super Bowl contender, I think that's really exciting
- 19:10Speaker 9: in the spot that they're in right now.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the difference is in twenty thirteen, even
- 19:14Speaker 1: though they had to win that last game against Saint
- 19:16Speaker 1: Louis to get the number one overall seed. I felt
- 19:19Speaker 1: like as a year progressed, we just felt like this
- 19:22Speaker 1: thing was a wagon man and it was just it
- 19:24Speaker 1: was they were just getting more dominant. It felt like
- 19:27Speaker 1: as the weeks went on, this one was such a
- 19:29Speaker 1: strange year. But you know why, Aaron, I think I
- 19:31Speaker 1: believe this. I think it's because this division is so
- 19:35Speaker 1: damn good that you really never realize could realize how
- 19:39Speaker 1: good you are Seattle or even la and to a
- 19:41Speaker 1: certain extent of the forty nine ers, because you're only
- 19:44Speaker 1: hoping just to be the best team in the best division.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Everything else was kind of fairly easy during the year.
- 19:49Speaker 1: You just didn't know how good you were because everyone
- 19:51Speaker 1: else was so damn good in this division. For Arizona, yeah,
- 19:55Speaker 1: you're absolutely right.
- 19:55Speaker 9: And I think the stat is that this is just
- 19:57Speaker 9: the fourth time since nineteen seventy where three teams from
- 20:01Speaker 9: the same division have made it to the divisional round
- 20:03Speaker 9: of the playoffs. And it's not surprising given that look
- 20:06Speaker 9: at the records of these teams. I mean, fourteen wins,
- 20:08Speaker 9: twelve wins, twelve wins, twelve wins normally will contend for
- 20:13Speaker 9: the division title, if not win the division title on
- 20:16Speaker 9: a regular basis. This is a far cry from twenty ten,
- 20:19Speaker 9: when a seven to nine Seahawks team won THEFC West
- 20:22Speaker 9: with Pete Carroll as their head coach in their first year.
- 20:25Speaker 9: So it's been really fun to watch. And yet you're
- 20:29Speaker 9: absolutely right. I mean, just to win the division was
- 20:31Speaker 9: a task in and of itself, and so now to
- 20:34Speaker 9: get here, you're talking about potentially three of the best
- 20:36Speaker 9: teams and probably two of the best teams in the
- 20:39Speaker 9: league when it comes to the Seahawks and the Rams.
- 20:41Speaker 9: If the Niners were full strength, maybe you put them
- 20:43Speaker 9: in the top three as well.
- 20:44Speaker 1: It is Aaron Levine Fox thirteen, and of course they'll
- 20:47Speaker 1: have the game for If five o'clock is the kickoff,
- 20:50Speaker 1: feel free to flip over to their pregame show right
- 20:52Speaker 1: after you're done watching Crack and post game on Saturday
- 20:55Speaker 1: after the game in Utah, we'll get you all the
- 20:57Speaker 1: coverage with Fox thirteen afterwards. I'll be honest with you, man,
- 21:00Speaker 1: it's gonna be weird for me. You and I have
- 21:03Speaker 1: covered pretty much every Seahawk playoff game since what twenty twelve,
- 21:07Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. It's yeah, this is the first playoff game
- 21:11Speaker 1: I haven't I won't be covering since God. I think
- 21:13Speaker 1: it was the second game in twenty ten. In fact,
- 21:15Speaker 1: it was was in Chicago in twenty twen when they lost.
- 21:17Speaker 1: I've covered every other playoff game for Fox thirteen since then.
- 21:19Speaker 1: It's gonna be very strange our last one. I point
- 21:22Speaker 1: this up. The last playoff game.
- 21:24Speaker 2: That we covered.
- 21:26Speaker 1: We had actually last two in San Francisco in an
- 21:29Speaker 1: actual torrential downpourt. We did four hour pregame show that
- 21:33Speaker 1: we were out there doing news and pregame show at
- 21:35Speaker 1: Levi Stadium trying to find is there any overhang the
- 21:38Speaker 1: answers barely no, and then our snowstorm before the world
- 21:43Speaker 1: shut down in COVID in Green Bay. This does feel
- 21:45Speaker 1: different because it's at home, right. I think that's the
- 21:48Speaker 1: big thing. Like when we were traveling and we're taking
- 21:50Speaker 1: our contingent on the road.
- 21:51Speaker 2: It's great. There's some twelves there.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Somebody asked me today what they thought Lumenfield was going
- 21:56Speaker 1: to be like, and I said, it's it's going to
- 21:58Speaker 1: be crazy, Like I don't think. I think that the
- 22:00Speaker 1: Lumenfield advantage is back. You've been there all year. What
- 22:03Speaker 1: do you think Lumen's going to be like.
- 22:06Speaker 10: I think it's going to be electric.
- 22:08Speaker 9: I think it's going to be just like the Mariners
- 22:10Speaker 9: in the Alcs, and the Mariners in the Alds and
- 22:13Speaker 9: the Sounders and the League's Cup sitting an attendance record
- 22:16Speaker 9: last year. We have been so spoiled over the last
- 22:19Speaker 9: six months or so, and then you had that Thursday
- 22:21Speaker 9: night game against the Rams, which was probably one of
- 22:24Speaker 9: the best atmospheres inside that stadium since the NFC Championship
- 22:27Speaker 9: game in twenty fourteen against the Packers. I think this
- 22:30Speaker 9: has the potential this week and hopefully hopefully next week
- 22:34Speaker 9: as well, has the potential to be right up there
- 22:36Speaker 9: with all the best games in Seahawks franchise history and
- 22:39Speaker 9: what could be the best year in Seahawks franchise history
- 22:42Speaker 9: if they're somehow able to win these two games, get
- 22:44Speaker 9: to a super Bowl and win it all.
- 22:46Speaker 1: When do you think it flipped to get in the
- 22:48Speaker 1: home field advantage back? And I say that not just wins,
- 22:50Speaker 1: but just when did you see it? Was it this
- 22:53Speaker 1: year at a game or two? Because we all know,
- 22:55Speaker 1: I mean, I think I don't think it's any secret.
- 22:58Speaker 1: I think you know Jody Allen was not New Year's
- 23:01Speaker 1: Eve twenty twenty two, Pete Carroll's last year, or twenty
- 23:05Speaker 1: twenty three, I should say Pete Carroll's last year. Pittsburgh
- 23:07Speaker 1: fans took over the stadium and it just we talked
- 23:09Speaker 1: a lot about it. The Seahawks weren't winning at home,
- 23:11Speaker 1: but more importantly, they weren't drawing or they're selling their tickets.
- 23:14Speaker 1: It wasn't the twelves in there anymore. When did you
- 23:17Speaker 1: see it, Flip? Was it last year or was at
- 23:19Speaker 1: some point this year where he said, hey, Lumenfield's back.
- 23:22Speaker 9: It had to be this year because there were too
- 23:24Speaker 9: many games last year where they were too many fans
- 23:27Speaker 9: of opposing teams that were just taking over the stadium.
- 23:30Speaker 9: I think the low point was probably the Buffalo Bills
- 23:33Speaker 9: game where the Seahawks got rocked last season and there
- 23:36Speaker 9: were a ton of Bills fans thinking where did all
- 23:38Speaker 9: these Buffalo fans come from? And why are they up
- 23:41Speaker 9: here in the Pacific Northwest and somewhat, you know, regular
- 23:45Speaker 9: to see a lot of Niners fans, probably expecting a
- 23:48Speaker 9: bunch of Diners fans again this weekend, just like we
- 23:50Speaker 9: saw in Week one, and we saw them last year
- 23:53Speaker 9: as well, and that's been sort of a trend over
- 23:55Speaker 9: the last few years, but more and more this season
- 23:59Speaker 9: we've seen the home field advantage kind of return, and
- 24:02Speaker 9: with the winning has come the better atmospheres inside the
- 24:06Speaker 9: stadium as well. It's been not surprising because people say
- 24:09Speaker 9: the two are correlated, but we've also seen a number
- 24:12Speaker 9: of games this year where it's felt like, Okay, these
- 24:15Speaker 9: are the crowds that we remember during the Heyday years,
- 24:18Speaker 9: during the Legion of Boom years, and hopefully that can
- 24:22Speaker 9: continue over the course of the next couple weeks and beyond.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Aaron Levine, Fox thirteen, all right, what's the storyline? What
- 24:27Speaker 1: are we doing for the pregame show? What's Aaron Levine?
- 24:30Speaker 1: You sitting there and you're gonna have a big old
- 24:31Speaker 1: meeting today. Visha Patel, our great executive producer and really sorry, Jake,
- 24:37Speaker 1: the one that runs the show over there, She's gonna
- 24:40Speaker 1: sit down with you guys. Are what are the storylines?
- 24:42Speaker 1: If I was doing a story this week, what would
- 24:44Speaker 1: it be. What are the storylines for this game that
- 24:45Speaker 1: you guys are going to focus in on the pregame show?
- 24:48Speaker 9: I think you know Diamador Lador against Leoni against JSN
- 24:52Speaker 9: obviously has the national attention just because Leonore likes to
- 24:55Speaker 9: run his mouth as much as he does.
- 24:57Speaker 10: I love the fact that Charles crosses back this week.
- 25:00Speaker 9: Interesting to see what the Niners do without George Kittle.
- 25:03Speaker 9: But I think the overlying theme over the of course
- 25:06Speaker 9: the last few weeks and beyond has been the Seahawks
- 25:08Speaker 9: ability to limit the number one rusher of the opposing team.
- 25:12Speaker 9: That's now been twenty six consecutive weeks or games that
- 25:16Speaker 9: the Seahawks have not allowed a one hundred yard rusher.
- 25:18Speaker 9: That's a franchise record, even better than the Legion of
- 25:21Speaker 9: Boom years. If they can continue to control Christian McCaffrey
- 25:26Speaker 9: like they did last week on the road, just twenty
- 25:29Speaker 9: three total rushing yards for McCaffrey.
- 25:31Speaker 10: That was one of the lowest totals of his career.
- 25:33Speaker 9: I think they had something like under sixty total rushing
- 25:36Speaker 9: yards as a team. The Seahawks able to do that,
- 25:39Speaker 9: they will once again beat the Niners. And I think
- 25:41Speaker 9: that is begns down to what did Mike McDonald want
- 25:44Speaker 9: to do when he first came here. Not only improve
- 25:47Speaker 9: the defense because they was struggling, but then win battles
- 25:51Speaker 9: on the line of scrimmage, win in the trenches.
- 25:53Speaker 10: Once again.
- 25:54Speaker 9: The Seahawks interior of the defensive line I think is
- 25:57Speaker 9: by far the best.
- 25:58Speaker 10: In all of the league right now, and.
- 26:01Speaker 9: That's just one more reason why this team has been
- 26:04Speaker 9: dominant and is the top scoring defense in the league
- 26:07Speaker 9: all right.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Time for the shameless self promotion fire away. What are
- 26:11Speaker 1: you guys doing on Saturday? Or yeah, Saturday, I mean, listen,
- 26:14Speaker 1: we'll be there all day long.
- 26:16Speaker 10: I mean, we're.
- 26:17Speaker 9: Meeting in a few minutes, But I can tell you
- 26:19Speaker 9: right now, we're gonna go wall to wall coverage from
- 26:21Speaker 9: our morning show all the way through the afternoon, and
- 26:24Speaker 9: even when that other game is on the Broncos and
- 26:28Speaker 9: Bills on a different station, we will still have pregame
- 26:31Speaker 9: coverage in and around women Field and everybody getting ready
- 26:34Speaker 9: for that game. And then of course postgame show Fox
- 26:37Speaker 9: their team Game Day. Brian Walters will join me and
- 26:39Speaker 9: we'll have a reaction from head coach Mike McDonald and
- 26:41Speaker 9: the rest of the players. So hopefully, after a Seahawks
- 26:44Speaker 9: win over the forty.
- 26:45Speaker 1: Nine ers, are you going to know how to handle
- 26:46Speaker 1: a playoff game without a torrential rainstorm or snow since
- 26:49Speaker 1: those are our last two that we covered.
- 26:52Speaker 10: Uh yeah, listen.
- 26:53Speaker 9: I had PTSD this past weekend when Malik Turner came
- 26:56Speaker 9: in a game and actually dropped a ball.
- 26:58Speaker 11: In a play, I'm like, oh my god, the Green
- 27:00Speaker 11: Bay Packers game all over again and Russell hitting him
- 27:03Speaker 11: in the chest and the dropping it on what could
- 27:05Speaker 11: have been a go ahead a touchdown drive and in
- 27:08Speaker 11: at the end.
- 27:08Speaker 9: Obviously they lost that game. And then the snow snowstorm
- 27:11Speaker 9: hit right after the game.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Yeah, yes it did, Yes, it did.
- 27:15Speaker 1: You whim and then hell he bailed and then it
- 27:18Speaker 1: was babs you me for I don't know that. Let's
- 27:20Speaker 1: just I think we need to do a couple more segments.
- 27:22Speaker 1: It's only a blizzard. Why won't you guys do a
- 27:24Speaker 1: couple more segments?
- 27:25Speaker 10: I do.
- 27:26Speaker 1: I say all that, I'm gonna miss it on Saturday,
- 27:28Speaker 1: but I'll be enjoying watching you guys as well. After
- 27:30Speaker 1: the Cracking are done with a win in Utah, hopefully
- 27:33Speaker 1: I'll be tuning in to my friends at Fox thirteen.
- 27:35Speaker 1: You guys do have a job, great job all year.
- 27:37Speaker 1: Miss you guys, and have a great broadcast this weekend.
- 27:39Speaker 9: My friend You'll be there in spirity and go Cracking

- 28:44Speaker 1: So a little different today for the Daily power Play.
- 28:46Speaker 1: After a nice win last night or your Seattle Kraken,
- 28:49Speaker 1: how about an interview. We're gonna check in with a
- 28:50Speaker 1: guy that has quickly turned into a fan favorite and
- 28:55Speaker 1: a guy that everyone at Climate Pledgerina is talking about.
- 28:59Speaker 1: We're talking about on the Crack and Hockey Network every
- 29:01Speaker 1: night with Alison Luken and myself all about and I
- 29:05Speaker 1: hate the term fourth line, but it's all about the
- 29:07Speaker 1: fourth line.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Right now.
- 29:08Speaker 1: These guys are doing some fun stuff. He was Seattle's
- 29:12Speaker 1: fifth round draft pick in twenty twenty one and he
- 29:16Speaker 1: has made his NHL debut last year, but he has
- 29:18Speaker 1: made himself a name this season. Jacob Malanson joined us
- 29:21Speaker 1: right now in the Beacon Plumbing hotline. Jacob, how are
- 29:23Speaker 1: you doing good?
- 29:25Speaker 8: Doing good?
- 29:25Speaker 5: Obviously, it's nice to get that win last night and
- 29:28Speaker 5: hopefully keep it rolling.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Yeah, let's start there just for a second.
- 29:30Speaker 1: We'll get into more of you in a moment, but
- 29:32Speaker 1: let's just start with last night rough one in Carolina.
- 29:35Speaker 1: You have that it felt like it was you guys
- 29:37Speaker 1: are in good shape. That's a really good hockey team,
- 29:39Speaker 1: if maybe not maybe even the best team in the
- 29:41Speaker 1: Eastern Conference. But you know that ten game point street
- 29:45Speaker 1: comes to an end, so bouncing back is tough. You
- 29:47Speaker 1: fall behind two nothing last night, but this team has
- 29:50Speaker 1: been doing that all year. It's the third multi goal
- 29:52Speaker 1: comeback on the road this year for the Krack And
- 29:54Speaker 1: so what is it with that room?
- 29:56Speaker 2: What is it with lane that?
- 29:58Speaker 1: You know, a lot of teams NHL get down by
- 29:59Speaker 1: a cup goals, especially on the road. They might fold
- 30:01Speaker 1: up their tents and worry about the next day. What
- 30:03Speaker 1: is about you guys It makes it different.
- 30:05Speaker 5: Yeah, it just shows the character that we have in
- 30:07Speaker 5: this room. I mean the older guys are definitely great
- 30:11Speaker 5: at that and keeping composure and not getting down on themselves.
- 30:14Speaker 5: I mean, it's always You're always going to have those
- 30:17Speaker 5: tough period where you don't come out hot, but it's
- 30:19Speaker 5: always how you bounce back. And obviously Lane's a really
- 30:22Speaker 5: good coach at kind of making changes on the flow
- 30:24Speaker 5: and on the go and keeping things good.
- 30:28Speaker 1: One of the things he hasn't changed for the most part.
- 30:32Speaker 1: The line that you're on with Ben Myers, sometimes Ryan Winterton,
- 30:36Speaker 1: sometimes it's ty Karch. It just kind of depends on
- 30:39Speaker 1: the day. Sometimes winter it moves up a little bit.
- 30:42Speaker 1: But you know, the fourth line has kind of a
- 30:44Speaker 1: four guy contingent. You guys are in there. The chemistry
- 30:47Speaker 1: that you have with Ben, with Tye, with Ryan Winterton.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Are you surprised how quick that came, because what you
- 30:55Speaker 1: guys are able to do together in a league in
- 30:57Speaker 1: which lines are getting juggle all the time is pretty remarkable.
- 30:59Speaker 2: The chemistry.
- 31:01Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:01Speaker 5: I mean, obviously they're exceptional players, and I feel like
- 31:03Speaker 5: we all kind of gel well together. We all kind
- 31:06Speaker 5: of bring a different component to our line. Obviously, I
- 31:09Speaker 5: try to bring the energy and finishing hits and getting turnovers.
- 31:13Speaker 5: And then Ben Myers is obviously great with the puck,
- 31:15Speaker 5: great at controlling it, and Winn He's obviously can do everything.
- 31:19Speaker 5: He's good with the puck, get off the puck. So
- 31:20Speaker 5: I mean, we all know where we are. And obviously
- 31:24Speaker 5: Trets is a great one to be with me and
- 31:26Speaker 5: I know I don't have to hit everyone and he's
- 31:28Speaker 5: going to be out there finishing his hits as well.
- 31:30Speaker 5: So I mean we're all just playing well together and
- 31:33Speaker 5: just knowing where we are on the age.
- 31:35Speaker 3: So it's been great.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Jacob Awatson with us for a few more moments. If
- 31:40Speaker 1: you hadn't started the season in Coachelle you got recalled
- 31:43Speaker 1: on December fourteenth, you're probably on pace for a record
- 31:45Speaker 1: for hits in the NHL. Like, I mean, that's the
- 31:47Speaker 1: kind of you're hitting everything in sight. You played the
- 31:50Speaker 1: one game last year, you got called up on March fifth,
- 31:52Speaker 1: and then obviously started the year in Coachell.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Come back up this year.
- 31:56Speaker 1: When they brought you back up, do they say, hey,
- 31:58Speaker 1: we want you to play goal, we want you to
- 32:00Speaker 1: hit everything in sight, we want you to play your
- 32:02Speaker 1: game or is that just inherently you know what you
- 32:05Speaker 1: need to do to go out there and do it, because,
- 32:06Speaker 1: like I said, you're turned into a fan favorite. Everyone
- 32:09Speaker 1: knows that sixty three is out there on the ice.
- 32:12Speaker 1: But how does that conversation go when you got recalled
- 32:14Speaker 1: back in December.
- 32:16Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I feel like I know what they
- 32:18Speaker 5: they want from me now, and I feel like that's
- 32:20Speaker 5: the game I want to play, and that's the game
- 32:21Speaker 5: I enjoy playing. There's nothing better than playing at home
- 32:25Speaker 5: and hearing the fans after a big hit. I mean,
- 32:28Speaker 5: playing the last three games in Seattle, it's been the
- 32:30Speaker 5: fan base has been amazing to me, and I just
- 32:34Speaker 5: great hearing the roar of the crowd after a nice hit.
- 32:38Speaker 5: And I mean, that's just the way I want to play.
- 32:40Speaker 5: I want to be able to bring that energy play physically.
- 32:42Speaker 5: I don't really know how to play another way, and
- 32:44Speaker 5: I just love doing it, so I'll keep bringing it
- 32:46Speaker 5: whenever the team needs it.
- 32:47Speaker 2: What did that goal mean?
- 32:48Speaker 1: On January fifth at Calgary when you got your first
- 32:51Speaker 1: NHL goal?
- 32:51Speaker 2: What did that mean to you? What was that like?
- 32:53Speaker 1: Do you do you remember the moment. Berkeley Captin said
- 32:55Speaker 1: he blacked out with his first goal after it happened,
- 32:57Speaker 1: Do you remember.
- 33:00Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I would say it was the same way.
- 33:02Speaker 5: I mean, there was definitely a goal. Yeah, dream was
- 33:05Speaker 5: dream of was a little kid trying to just playing
- 33:08Speaker 5: mini sticks. So being able to get that first one
- 33:10Speaker 5: was pretty cool.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's uh when you grow up and the
- 33:15Speaker 1: dream is the NHL. You get the call up last year,
- 33:18Speaker 1: but then you get recalled this year. It feels like
- 33:20Speaker 1: this is a lot different this time around. Do you
- 33:23Speaker 1: feel like you've truly, you know, reached your NHL dream,
- 33:26Speaker 1: your hockey dreams as a.
- 33:27Speaker 5: Kid, Yeah, no, for sure. I mean there's still a
- 33:30Speaker 5: lot of work to be done moving forward, but I'm
- 33:33Speaker 5: really proud of where I've come from and what I've
- 33:36Speaker 5: got to do in this these past couple of months
- 33:38Speaker 5: and be able to being able to play with the
- 33:40Speaker 5: Kraken and being able to make my.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Dream come true.
- 33:44Speaker 1: The the goal was great. The point streak before that
- 33:48Speaker 1: was pretty awesome as well. I think that culminated like
- 33:51Speaker 1: a four or five game point streak as well. But
- 33:53Speaker 1: for you, like, like do you do you appreciate the
- 33:56Speaker 1: big hit or the goal more what what what gives you?
- 33:59Speaker 5: What?
- 33:59Speaker 3: What?
- 34:00Speaker 1: Jacob Alanson? More satisfaction when you take a when you
- 34:03Speaker 1: take a run at a guy and knock him into
- 34:05Speaker 1: next week, especially at Climate Pledge and you hear that
- 34:07Speaker 1: place go bananas or the goal?
- 34:09Speaker 2: What I'm assuming the goal is still a little better.
- 34:11Speaker 2: It's not.
- 34:12Speaker 1: And all you guys that played, you know when you
- 34:14Speaker 1: came up through juniors and everything, It's not like these
- 34:15Speaker 1: guys weren't scoring goals. You scored a ton of goals there.
- 34:17Speaker 1: But but what do you take more pleasure? And when
- 34:19Speaker 1: you smoke a guy in a nice clean hit or
- 34:22Speaker 1: when you knock one in the back of the net.
- 34:24Speaker 2: That's a hard one.
- 34:25Speaker 5: I mean the goals are obviously nice, but I feel
- 34:28Speaker 5: like that will those always follow from a big hit
- 34:31Speaker 5: and getting the energy I mean, just playing the way
- 34:33Speaker 5: I do. I feel like the opportunities come from land
- 34:37Speaker 5: those big hits. So I would say the big hits
- 34:39Speaker 5: do feel great, But finally getting the goal and getting
- 34:42Speaker 5: rewarded for what I do on this is definitely a
- 34:45Speaker 5: good feeling.
- 34:46Speaker 2: Well, and on top of that, looks the part as well.
- 34:50Speaker 1: Jess he worked after the we had him on the
- 34:52Speaker 1: postgame show, Piper Shaw interviewed him.
- 34:54Speaker 2: I think it was after the calgaraen.
- 34:55Speaker 1: Was it right after you scored the goal that you
- 34:57Speaker 1: got your nose split open, like it just it was
- 35:00Speaker 1: your leak and everything shit's going on?
- 35:01Speaker 2: What happened there?
- 35:03Speaker 5: Yeah, well a guy ahead. I mean, I lay a
- 35:07Speaker 5: lot of heads, but I also take some mets too,
- 35:09Speaker 5: But that's just part of the game. My nose I'll
- 35:12Speaker 5: blooded up. But I mean, I don't think I played
- 35:15Speaker 5: many games with an account on my face, which that's
- 35:18Speaker 5: all good.
- 35:19Speaker 2: That's what it's about, man, That's what it's about. Old school.
- 35:21Speaker 2: This guy's a throwback. We love it, wouldn't.
- 35:24Speaker 1: I think I think it was ed z O where
- 35:26Speaker 1: jtsid the broadcast. Everyone knows where sixty three is on
- 35:30Speaker 1: the ice now, like in around the league, they like
- 35:32Speaker 1: they know you're coming. Man, it's been fun watching you, Jacob.
- 35:34Speaker 1: It's a great story. Mid round draft picks don't always
- 35:37Speaker 1: make it in the NHL. You have made it in
- 35:39Speaker 1: the NHL. You've made a big impact here in Seattle,
- 35:41Speaker 1: a fan favorite as well. Finish this trip strong, New Jersey,
- 35:45Speaker 1: Boston and Utah, and then we'll see you back here
- 35:48Speaker 1: next week for the game on MLKDA, which is Monday,

- 37:30Speaker 12: nd the NFC West and doups it out with the
- 37:32Speaker 12: in over, the Niners and the Hawks.
- 37:34Speaker 2: So let's unleash it now with John Lund.
- 37:37Speaker 1: Here's Ian, all right, Here he go's John lunn Is
- 37:41Speaker 1: with us everyone's favorite segment of the week Tuesdays at

- 38:01Speaker 13: How are you?
- 38:03Speaker 2: They just will not die.
- 38:05Speaker 3: Tony Montana right, they want they won't? It does? Oh
- 38:11Speaker 3: oh really, you're gonna take away George Kittle. It's fine,
- 38:14Speaker 3: and you can takeway Trent do you're Trent dol for
- 38:16Speaker 3: you take Trent Williams a way? Yeah, Okay, you're gonna
- 38:18Speaker 3: take away you know, rock Party for eight games. Okay,
- 38:20Speaker 3: you can take away Warner can take away both. It
- 38:23Speaker 3: doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
- 38:25Speaker 1: It's remark it is absolutely remarkable. You'll find this shocking. Okay,
- 38:31Speaker 1: people in Seattle. Once things played out as they did
- 38:34Speaker 1: on Saturday, there's never been more forty nine Er fans
- 38:38Speaker 1: in Seattle than we had Sunday afternoon, it was crazy.
- 38:43Speaker 1: And then and this is I'm not saying this because
- 38:46Speaker 1: nobody wants to see a guy get hurt, but when
- 38:47Speaker 1: Kittle went down, then everyone, if you were on the fence,
- 38:50Speaker 1: you're like, okay, now one hundred percent we want the
- 38:53Speaker 1: forty nine ers.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Did the forty nine ers want Seattle?
- 38:57Speaker 3: I mean, you know, the thing is is that I
- 39:00Speaker 3: they want anybody at this point. And I think you know,
- 39:02Speaker 3: you and I I think have similar philosophies in this.
- 39:04Speaker 3: Like you talked about Saturday. By the way, these games
- 39:06Speaker 3: were so great up until like last night was terrible.
- 39:09Speaker 3: But I mean every game on Saturday and Sunday was
- 39:12Speaker 3: just like are you kidding me? But that aside, you know,
- 39:17Speaker 3: obviously you wanted the Panthers. You wanted to knock out
- 39:19Speaker 3: the Rams. Everybody in the NFC did because if the
- 39:21Speaker 3: Rams are gone, you know, I know they're not playing great,
- 39:23Speaker 3: but they've got the most talent. But as far as
- 39:25Speaker 3: forty nine ers, this is why they're dangerous because I
- 39:28Speaker 3: don't think at this point they really care. You know,
- 39:30Speaker 3: like I look at teams and I say, okay, did
- 39:32Speaker 3: they max out their season? Like the Panthers maxed out
- 39:34Speaker 3: their season, right, I think I think the Bears at
- 39:38Speaker 3: this point have maxed out their season. I mean, to
- 39:40Speaker 3: keep you going on this, the Niners have this weird
- 39:42Speaker 3: thing and I'm not a big fan of the term
- 39:45Speaker 3: nothing to lose or you know, you're playing with house money,
- 39:48Speaker 3: or however people want to term it. Because the Niners
- 39:51Speaker 3: are older. You know, Trick Williams is older. He's thirty seven.
- 39:53Speaker 3: Kidle Now, I don't know if Kit Will ever played
- 39:55Speaker 3: another game for the forty nine ers. He's thirty two.
- 39:57Speaker 3: He's not gonna probably come back to Will he's thirty four.
- 39:59Speaker 3: He makes a lot of I mean, I don't know
- 40:00Speaker 3: how that's gonna work. But my point is is that
- 40:02Speaker 3: you know, the sam and the hourglass is always running out.
- 40:07Speaker 3: Dan Marino made the Super Bowl a second year, never
- 40:09Speaker 3: went back. I mean, everybody assumes you're gonna be back.
- 40:11Speaker 2: So I think at this.
- 40:12Speaker 3: Point the forty nine Ers, though, were like, you know,
- 40:14Speaker 3: we're supposed to be done, or seasons supposed to be
- 40:16Speaker 3: maxed out. We're supposed to be like the Cardinals, all
- 40:18Speaker 3: their injuries or whatever the case may be, and and
- 40:21Speaker 3: they're they're dangerous to the Seahawks not because you look
- 40:23Speaker 3: at the matchups and you saw it a couple of
- 40:25Speaker 3: weeks ago, and you say to yourself, they're gonna not
- 40:28Speaker 3: they're gonna beat the board now, and they just did.
- 40:29Speaker 3: They did, they did, But they just have this kind
- 40:32Speaker 3: of we don't really care. And now the more that
- 40:35Speaker 3: they're resilient and the more they keep getting up and
- 40:37Speaker 3: the more the more that they believe that they can
- 40:39Speaker 3: do it. And they did do it even though they
- 40:42Speaker 3: had both so they had you know, Kittle was out,
- 40:43Speaker 3: but they did do it in week one. So the
- 40:46Speaker 3: one thing I do know, and just kind of being
- 40:47Speaker 3: around these guys and being behind the scenes with these guys,
- 40:51Speaker 3: is they have a really loose feel. And I've told
- 40:55Speaker 3: you this before. They wanted to win Super Bowls and
- 40:57Speaker 3: thought they should have at this point under Kyle Shanahan
- 40:59Speaker 3: so much that they you go down to the facility
- 41:02Speaker 3: and it's tight and it's tense, and you don't feel
- 41:06Speaker 3: good and it's like it's not a great working environment.
- 41:08Speaker 3: And I there's a reason why they haven't won Super
- 41:10Speaker 3: Bowls because I just think they want it too much
- 41:12Speaker 3: and they're just too tight about it. Right now, they
- 41:15Speaker 3: have the exact opposite of that is they know that
- 41:17Speaker 3: they're not supposed to be here. They know that they're
- 41:19Speaker 3: kind of playing with the house money, and it's the
- 41:20Speaker 3: loosest I've seen the forty nine ers facility in ten years.
- 41:24Speaker 3: And that's dangerous.
- 41:25Speaker 14: You know what.
- 41:26Speaker 1: It's interesting that that feel in the room because I
- 41:30Speaker 1: can relate. I think John Lynn joining us, I think
- 41:33Speaker 1: I can relate. The Seahawks win in twenty thirteen, they lose,
- 41:37Speaker 1: as we all know, in heartbreaking fashion twenty fourteen, and
- 41:41Speaker 1: when they won in twenty thirteen, and it's different because yes,
- 41:43Speaker 1: they've won under that, they won under Caroll and so forth.
- 41:45Speaker 1: But it's it's the core group of guys you're talking about,
- 41:49Speaker 1: you know, like when does that window so called window
- 41:52Speaker 1: close when they want? In twenty thirteen, that night we're
- 41:55Speaker 1: interviewing guys on the field, everyone to a man saying, well,
- 41:58Speaker 1: it's the first, this is the first, like like they
- 42:00Speaker 1: just assumed they were gonna win one again. They lose
- 42:05Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen, but even then it's like, man, we're
- 42:07Speaker 1: gonna be more motivated than ever. Twenty fifteen, they go
- 42:10Speaker 1: ten and six, they lose in the second round, and
- 42:15Speaker 1: then after that, they lose in the division round in
- 42:17Speaker 1: twenty sixteen after winning one game, and they've only won
- 42:20Speaker 1: a couple of playoff games since then, none at home.
- 42:23Speaker 1: And I think I think twenty fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, even
- 42:27Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, I felt that here because guys were
- 42:31Speaker 1: starting to leave, that you could feel that here that
- 42:35Speaker 1: we had the holdouts that you know, Cam's holding out,
- 42:37Speaker 1: misses a couple of games, Earl's being Earl, Marshawn's act
- 42:42Speaker 1: is starting to wear thin inside the building. Maybe all
- 42:44Speaker 1: those things. It's interesting when you have the so called
- 42:48Speaker 1: window open closed, or just starting to open or just
- 42:50Speaker 1: starting to close, there is pressure. It almost sounds to me,
- 42:53Speaker 1: even with all the injuries, that there was so much
- 42:55Speaker 1: pressure in the forty nine ers last year. Yeah, maybe
- 42:57Speaker 1: not house money, but maybe they are just playing more relaxed.
- 43:00Speaker 1: Nobody expects him to do this well, and.
- 43:02Speaker 3: It's self inflicted. I mean, it really comes from Kyle Shanahan.
- 43:06Speaker 3: He's so intense and he look he feels like he
- 43:09Speaker 3: should have won those Super Bowls. On the first one
- 43:11Speaker 3: against Kansas City in Miami, they were up twenty one
- 43:13Speaker 3: to ten in the fourth quarter of that game, the
- 43:14Speaker 3: one against Kansas City. The second time they were up
- 43:17Speaker 3: in that game, they just he has said it openly
- 43:20Speaker 3: here that look, we should have at least one, if
- 43:22Speaker 3: not two Super Bowls. And so every year that goes
- 43:24Speaker 3: on and the older that they get it, just I'm
- 43:26Speaker 3: telling you there's a tension down there and it's uncomfortable.
- 43:30Speaker 3: But right now, just how you know, last week was
- 43:33Speaker 3: like this before the Philly game, and I thought to myself,
- 43:35Speaker 3: on paper and I know what everybody was saying about it.
- 43:38Speaker 3: Philly had a lot more talent, but we know that
- 43:40Speaker 3: there was all sorts of weird issues going on with them,
- 43:42Speaker 3: and it showed its head and the forty nine ers
- 43:44Speaker 3: found a way to win. That becomes and you know
- 43:46Speaker 3: this too, and all your listeners do and everybody around sports,
- 43:49Speaker 3: it starts to become contagious. Now, am I predicting that
- 43:51Speaker 3: the forty nine ers are going to upset the Seahawks. No,
- 43:54Speaker 3: And this won't permeate because Mike McDonald is so good
- 43:57Speaker 3: at what he does. But a lesser team in Philly
- 44:00Speaker 3: is that lesser team this year, A lesser team would
- 44:02Speaker 3: kind of look at the forty nine ers and say, oh,
- 44:05Speaker 3: we got this look at all these injuries, and the Eagles,
- 44:07Speaker 3: I think after Kittle went down, went because he is
- 44:09Speaker 3: what Fred Warner is to their defense, he is to
- 44:11Speaker 3: their offense. And I don't just mean that in a
- 44:13Speaker 3: productivity manner. I mean that he's a leader, and he's physical,
- 44:16Speaker 3: and he sets a tone for the forty nine ers.
- 44:18Speaker 3: So how many of those guys can you lose? And
- 44:20Speaker 3: I think that Philly saw that and kind of went, well,
- 44:22Speaker 3: their ultimate warrior is down. We got this, and they
- 44:26Speaker 3: just don't realize how good the forty nine ers are
- 44:28Speaker 3: and what the core is, and then how good Kyle is.
- 44:31Speaker 3: Having said that, though, the advantage that the Seahawks have
- 44:34Speaker 3: is they have a healthy amount of respect for the
- 44:36Speaker 3: forty nine ers in but the don't. Fans don't. They
- 44:38Speaker 3: have a hell of a lot of respect for Kyle Shanahan,
- 44:41Speaker 3: and so they know what they're up against. They're not
- 44:43Speaker 3: gonna sit, They're not gonna walk into this game thinking, oh,
- 44:46Speaker 3: they're all injured. We got this game. A lesser team would,
- 44:48Speaker 3: and the Philadelphia Eagles did.
- 44:50Speaker 1: Five times and nine years, Kyle Shanahan has made the postseason.
- 44:54Speaker 1: He's been to two Super Bowls, lost in the Conference
- 44:57Speaker 1: championship twice. We can look at a couple of those things.
- 45:00Speaker 1: I mean super Bowl, I mean drop ball. What have
- 45:03Speaker 1: you misthrowed by garoppolo Conference championship losing because you don't
- 45:07Speaker 1: have a quarterback? I mean, there are legitimate reasons why
- 45:10Speaker 1: they haven't got that Super Bowl yet. But five times
- 45:13Speaker 1: in nine years, was there any pressure on him before
- 45:17Speaker 1: the season and or is it now, like, Hey, this
- 45:21Speaker 1: guy has done maybe the best coaching job of his
- 45:23Speaker 1: career with all the injuries. Just getting the divisional round
- 45:25Speaker 1: is unbelievable.
- 45:27Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that after the Philly game.
- 45:30Speaker 3: But if he had another Coach of the Year vote,
- 45:31Speaker 3: I think he would win it. I think Mike Brabel's
- 45:33Speaker 3: gonna win it. I think Mike McDonald has a great chance.
- 45:35Speaker 3: But it's a stack field. So but in terms of
- 45:38Speaker 3: what you just mentioned, yeah, like he puts an immense
- 45:40Speaker 3: amount of pressure on himself. He is the typical sleep
- 45:44Speaker 3: on a cot kind of a coach. I mean that's
- 45:46Speaker 3: just what he is. He sleeps that he lives and
- 45:48Speaker 3: it's been a whole life. You'll know that, Mike Shanahan,
- 45:50Speaker 3: et cetera. So he puts an immense amount of respect
- 45:52Speaker 3: of pressure on himself, which that's the feeling that permeates
- 45:55Speaker 3: throughout the building. And Kyle is kind of like TNT,
- 45:58Speaker 3: like he's at any point he's he could blow. I mean,
- 46:00Speaker 3: he just you know, it's pretty amazing, and that's what
- 46:03Speaker 3: makes it tense down here. Having said that, like I said,
- 46:06Speaker 3: I think he's really enjoying this. Now. Part of your
- 46:08Speaker 3: question kind of is now that we're seeing Mike Tomlin
- 46:10Speaker 3: go and John Harbaugh go, and I think Matt Lafleur
- 46:13Speaker 3: could be on the hot seat and Nick Sirianni certainly
- 46:15Speaker 3: could be on the hot seat. Would Kyle leave? I mean,
- 46:18Speaker 3: the one thing about the Niners is they have level
- 46:21Speaker 3: headed ownership, kind of like you know, the Steelers. But
- 46:23Speaker 3: Tomlin stepped down. But I don't think Kyle's going anywhere
- 46:26Speaker 3: just because he is doing such a good job and
- 46:27Speaker 3: everybody realized that the injuries are here. If you give
- 46:30Speaker 3: it a couple more years here, it could be an
- 46:32Speaker 3: Andy Reid situation where it's like, look, he's been here
- 46:35Speaker 3: a long time and maybe everybody needs a change of senior.
- 46:37Speaker 3: But we're not quite there yet. But he does put
- 46:40Speaker 3: a attention in the building that I don't know how
- 46:44Speaker 3: much longer. You know, maybe there's three years, maybe there's
- 46:46Speaker 3: four years, five years, whatever, But he can It can
- 46:49Speaker 3: be difficult to be down here because he puts so
- 46:51Speaker 3: much pressure on everybody to be.
- 46:53Speaker 1: Perfect nine years. I mentioned the five playoffs, is the
- 46:57Speaker 1: same for the Seahawks. Both franchises been the playoffs five
- 47:00Speaker 1: time in the last nine years and both trying to
- 47:02Speaker 1: break through. John Lynn joining us. I'll get to the
- 47:05Speaker 1: fans and the rivalry in a second. I'll play I'll
- 47:08Speaker 1: play sports radio football guy. Let's get the extras. In
- 47:11Speaker 1: all seriousness, you mentioned Kittle's emotion.
- 47:14Speaker 2: We see it.
- 47:15Speaker 1: We see this guy. I mean, he's one of those guys.
- 47:17Speaker 1: I mean, I love the fact. I you know what,
- 47:20Speaker 1: when he came out after the Seahawks won, they're smoking
- 47:23Speaker 1: doing the thing. He's like, hell yeah man, and through
- 47:25Speaker 1: a couple of words in there we can't repeat on
- 47:26Speaker 1: the air, I do the same thing.
- 47:27Speaker 5: You know.
- 47:28Speaker 1: I love the guy for that, you know what. I
- 47:30Speaker 1: absolutely he's a throwback. I think he's the best all
- 47:33Speaker 1: around tight end in football. Kelsey is a great catch.
- 47:35Speaker 1: You can catch the ball. Andrews is a pretty good
- 47:37Speaker 1: mix of him. Over the last tw years. You can
- 47:39Speaker 1: go through some guys. This dude's like the best combo.
- 47:41Speaker 1: But from a passing offense, I think our buddy Hugh
- 47:44Speaker 1: Millan had the great points, like he's gonna look down
- 47:45Speaker 1: at that play sheet and go, uh, okay, that's changed.
- 47:49Speaker 2: What changes without George Kittle, Well, you know, you.
- 47:53Speaker 3: Know what the biggest thing it changes. I know that
- 47:54Speaker 3: everybody wants to talk about the way he catches the football,
- 47:56Speaker 3: but his blocking. To me, he's the best blocking tight
- 47:59Speaker 3: end in the league. And so what happens is is
- 48:01Speaker 3: even though well in the Seahawks shut him down in
- 48:04Speaker 3: Santa Claire a couple of weeks ago, anyway, a lot
- 48:07Speaker 3: of the outside zone stuff like he's like having an
- 48:09Speaker 3: extra tackle man, and that's just what he is. And
- 48:12Speaker 3: so from a blocking standpoint, I think a lot of
- 48:14Speaker 3: people have it wrong. They miss him a ton in
- 48:17Speaker 3: the running game. Okay, he'll make a couple of he'll
- 48:22Speaker 3: make a couple of plays, but they missed the blocking.
- 48:26Speaker 3: They missed the receiving, they missed the physicality, they missed
- 48:28Speaker 3: the leadership, they missed the fact that just you know,
- 48:31Speaker 3: he just is talking to NonStop. He's great, and the
- 48:33Speaker 3: huddle he loosens players up like this, it's just everything.
- 48:36Speaker 3: And guy, I know that the talking heads will talk
- 48:39Speaker 3: about it this week, how big of a loss it is,
- 48:40Speaker 3: but they just they're not in the building. They don't understand.
- 48:43Speaker 3: I mean, just what you just said right there. You know,
- 48:45Speaker 3: he ordered a bottle of tequila to the locker room
- 48:47Speaker 3: after he tore his achilles, like he just his wife
- 48:50Speaker 3: came down there and they drank tequila. Like he's just
- 48:52Speaker 3: like it's I'm done.
- 48:53Speaker 1: I was like what so he said in the locker room,
- 48:57Speaker 1: season's over. He doesn't know if he's ever going to
- 48:59Speaker 1: come back, like screw it. I'm calling somebody called catering
- 49:02Speaker 1: here inside Philadelphia and get me a bottle tequila.
- 49:05Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, he did. They brought a bottle of tequila
- 49:08Speaker 3: to him because he's like, well, I'm useless. I might
- 49:10Speaker 3: as well just hang out and drink tequila. Like there's
- 49:12Speaker 3: a bit of pain here. I'm just gonna drink some tequila.
- 49:14Speaker 3: And him and his wife drank tequila in the Philly
- 49:16Speaker 3: locker room or in their locker room.
- 49:18Speaker 1: And what do you think that costs? And like a
- 49:19Speaker 1: stadium at like it's one thing, like you and I
- 49:23Speaker 1: thousand dollars.
- 49:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like you and I are both club guys.
- 49:25Speaker 1: So when we go clubbing and we get bottle service, Yeah,
- 49:29Speaker 1: when you and I are getting bottle service in the clubs,
- 49:31Speaker 1: you know it's kind of expensive.
- 49:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 49:33Speaker 1: Yeah, What do you think if if a shot at
- 49:36Speaker 1: tequila in the average NFL stadium is probably like fifteen
- 49:39Speaker 1: to twenty bucks, what do you think a bottle is.
- 49:41Speaker 1: I mean, not that it matters for a guy like that,
- 49:43Speaker 1: but I'm just curious. It's gotta be a grand, right,
- 49:45Speaker 1: probably grand, easier grand. They probably tipped the guy well
- 49:49Speaker 1: and stuff. So oh yeah, yeah, he's that's a legendary.
- 49:52Speaker 2: By the way, that's a legendary move. That is a legendary.
- 49:56Speaker 2: How flipp and move. And here's the thing too, And I.
- 49:59Speaker 3: Knew Jeff as a Niners fan because I saw after
- 50:01Speaker 3: she's a closet Niner because I saw afterwards she said, oh,
- 50:04Speaker 3: I'm not kittle, So whatever you say, you're not.
- 50:08Speaker 2: You can't hear you.
- 50:10Speaker 3: It's so much better. But but here's the thing. Here's
- 50:13Speaker 3: the thing too, is he's like one of those guys
- 50:16Speaker 3: and I'm not no Niner fans hate him, but you're
- 50:17Speaker 3: kind of on the you're kind of teetering, and we
- 50:20Speaker 3: all have that guy like I hate this team, but
- 50:22Speaker 3: this player's all right, you know what I mean, I
- 50:24Speaker 3: hate this team, but I like this guy. Like there's
- 50:26Speaker 3: certain guys that it's like they're really like I'll give
- 50:28Speaker 3: you a great example, Like I don't know how if
- 50:32Speaker 3: you're a Niners fan and he's an East Bay guy,
- 50:34Speaker 3: like Marshawn Lynch's just loved by.
- 50:37Speaker 2: Right, I think you say Russell Wilson really, oh god,
- 50:40Speaker 2: oh god, oh he was.
- 50:42Speaker 3: Hated by his own fans, and I believe like he's
- 50:45Speaker 3: the opposite of that. But you know, there's just certain
- 50:47Speaker 3: guys who just have the it and they're just And
- 50:50Speaker 3: that's Kittle, Like I know him, and again, look we're
- 50:52Speaker 3: not best friends and I'm not name drop, but I'm
- 50:54Speaker 3: not trying to do that, but I mean, Kittle's been
- 50:56Speaker 3: around forever. And you walk in the locker room and
- 50:58Speaker 3: if he's walking by you, Kit'll be like, what's up,
- 51:00Speaker 3: lond which going on? Dude? How's everything? Like he's just
- 51:02Speaker 3: what you see is what you get. And there's that's
- 51:04Speaker 3: so rare now when everybody's trying to be their own
- 51:07Speaker 3: brand and all this kind of stuff, and like you said,
- 51:09Speaker 3: the Russell Wilson's of the world, they're so fake and
- 51:12Speaker 3: fraudulent and all that they make you sick. And he's
- 51:15Speaker 3: just he's just a dude. Man, He's just a dude.
- 51:17Speaker 1: It's it's uh, yeah, it's a it's a Do you
- 51:19Speaker 1: think do you think he's done in San Francisco? And
- 51:22Speaker 1: that's a year injury, right, Like he's earliest he's coming
- 51:24Speaker 1: back is November next year, maybe, right?
- 51:26Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 51:27Speaker 3: Well, And the thing is too, is they're they're super
- 51:30Speaker 3: top heavy. They've got over this is crazy nearly I
- 51:32Speaker 3: shouldn't say, over nearly one hundred million dollars in the
- 51:34Speaker 3: books from players not playing for him this year, like Deebo,
- 51:36Speaker 3: Samuel and tons of those guys. And then there's still
- 51:38Speaker 3: some contracts, like they're still paying Eric Armstead from years ago.
- 51:41Speaker 3: I mean, they have a lot of bad contracts and
- 51:43Speaker 3: this year part of what they did when they signed
- 51:46Speaker 3: perty was they purged a lot of those contracts, a
- 51:48Speaker 3: lot of guys. I mean we saw it, you know,
- 51:49Speaker 3: the drag Green Laws and Hafunga's and those guys. They
- 51:52Speaker 3: are gone. And and I love Kittle and I know
- 51:54Speaker 3: the organization does too, but he's thirty two. He just
- 51:58Speaker 3: signed a new deal. It's a lot of money, it's
- 52:00Speaker 3: front loaded, and by the time he comes back, he's
- 52:03Speaker 3: going to be thirty four. I guarantee you they're going
- 52:05Speaker 3: to spend a high pick and a tight end in
- 52:07Speaker 3: the draft this year. They want. They wanted to back
- 52:08Speaker 3: up our number two tight end for a long time anyway,
- 52:11Speaker 3: kind of like what you have. You know, I think
- 52:12Speaker 3: Arroyo is going to be really good and A. J.
- 52:15Speaker 3: Barner is really good. So it's it's you know, these
- 52:16Speaker 3: two tight end sets. Hell that Rams are running three
- 52:18Speaker 3: tight end sets. They're in a lot of thirteen personnels.
- 52:20Speaker 3: So the Niners need a tight end anyway. And I
- 52:23Speaker 3: wouldn't be shocked whatsoever if you know, first second round
- 52:26Speaker 3: this year they went tight end because you know, they
- 52:29Speaker 3: wanted to do that anyway, because Kittle's getting older, and
- 52:31Speaker 3: plus he has a certain style that he plays that
- 52:33Speaker 3: is conducive to getting hurt, and he's hurt a lot.
- 52:35Speaker 3: So you know, I'm not trying to kick him out
- 52:37Speaker 3: the door at the low point of his career, but
- 52:40Speaker 3: you know, at some point, as you well know, finances
- 52:42Speaker 3: go into place. And there's guys that you know, you
- 52:44Speaker 3: didn't want to get rid of, Bobby Wagner or any
- 52:46Speaker 3: you know, some of these guys, but at some point,
- 52:48Speaker 3: you know, like you said, as the team is getting
- 52:49Speaker 3: older and they're trying to stay competitive, there's a business
- 52:52Speaker 3: side of this. And so yeah, I wouldn't be surprised
- 52:54Speaker 3: if that was it for Kittle.
- 52:55Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean the Bobby Wagner's If you can
- 52:58Speaker 1: move on from Bobby Wagner and your peak, Carol John Schneider, like.
- 53:01Speaker 2: You can move on from anybody in this league, right,
- 53:03Speaker 2: Like I can't.
- 53:05Speaker 1: Yeah, And then and part of it is when the
- 53:06Speaker 1: player wants to keep playing and the team knows that
- 53:09Speaker 1: the skills have diminished or the health is an issue
- 53:11Speaker 1: or what have you. Like, nobody knows a player better
- 53:14Speaker 1: than his own team, right, so it's like, yeah, okay,
- 53:17Speaker 1: it's time to move on, like and it's and it
- 53:18Speaker 1: was definitely time to move on. John Lennon with us,
- 53:20Speaker 1: all right, who has the advantage of quarterback Seattle with
- 53:24Speaker 1: Sam Darnold looking for that elusive playoff.
- 53:27Speaker 2: Win or noodle arm turnover pro and brought party.
- 53:31Speaker 3: I'll see how he came back though the two picks,
- 53:35Speaker 3: but then you know the baby faced assassin.
- 53:37Speaker 1: It is just like all right, man, you know, I
- 53:40Speaker 1: hate to admit it, man, it was impressive, like you're
- 53:42Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and you've you've just been really bad, like
- 53:46Speaker 1: not good at all, and and you just still have
- 53:48Speaker 1: the stones to come back. And then I mean he
- 53:50Speaker 1: got bailed out. Christian McCaffrey made a couple of catches
- 53:52Speaker 1: in that game that were like especially the yeah yeah,
- 53:57Speaker 1: but yeah, no, perty's I want to hate the guy
- 54:02Speaker 1: and I don't want to think the guy is good.
- 54:04Speaker 1: And then I did want to think he was good,
- 54:05Speaker 1: and I didn't hate him on Sunday because I wanted
- 54:07Speaker 1: to see the forty nine ers. But yeah, this, I
- 54:09Speaker 1: think the quarterback matchup is just fascinating between these two well,
- 54:13Speaker 1: and he one thing.
- 54:14Speaker 3: About him and again I get it. I understand why
- 54:16Speaker 3: people hate him if you're not with the forty nine ers,
- 54:18Speaker 3: they're not on that side. But you know what he does.
- 54:20Speaker 3: He'll throw a pick like he threw that pick six,
- 54:22Speaker 3: was the pick six against Seattle. All this starts running
- 54:24Speaker 3: together for me. But I mean he threw a pick
- 54:27Speaker 3: six couple of weeks ago, got ball, got tipped up
- 54:29Speaker 3: in the air, threw a pick six, and he came
- 54:32Speaker 3: right back and it's like that's not a big deal
- 54:34Speaker 3: to me, Like he just he just doesn't care. And
- 54:36Speaker 3: you know, I'm not saying he's Brett Favan the way
- 54:38Speaker 3: that he throws at the arm strength or anthing of that,
- 54:40Speaker 3: but he just he's got a gunslinger mentality. He doesn't
- 54:42Speaker 3: care if he throws an interception and he's just gonna
- 54:45Speaker 3: come back. And what it's about is and we tell
- 54:47Speaker 3: you and I talk about this all the time. Look,
- 54:48Speaker 3: I don't care what kind of a game you have,
- 54:50Speaker 3: but when the game is on the line, how do
- 54:51Speaker 3: you perform? And he performs at a really high level
- 54:54Speaker 3: when the chips are down and when they need something big,
- 54:57Speaker 3: he does it all the time. So that's another why
- 55:00Speaker 3: you know, people hate him and everyone who wants to
- 55:02Speaker 3: debate it and he's picked two sixty two, so he
- 55:04Speaker 3: can't be any good. But the fact of the matter
- 55:06Speaker 3: is is that when it comes down to these kind
- 55:08Speaker 3: of moments, you know, he's been in a Super Bowl
- 55:10Speaker 3: that they probably should have won, He's been in two
- 55:12Speaker 3: NFC Championship games. Yet he's this young, he's he is a.
- 55:16Speaker 3: He's a major asset for the forty nine ers, and
- 55:20Speaker 3: people talked about like mac Jones or something like that,
- 55:22Speaker 3: and oh they got mac Jones is better, not even close.
- 55:25Speaker 3: I mean between his the intangibles he's got great, He's
- 55:28Speaker 3: got better than you think, athletic ability, the way he
- 55:30Speaker 3: throws the ball, just the respect that the team has
- 55:33Speaker 3: for him. Trent Williams has told me stories were I mean,
- 55:36Speaker 3: you wouldn't think this dude would do this because he
- 55:38Speaker 3: looks like, you know, a newspaper boy next door. But
- 55:40Speaker 3: I don't have newspapers newspaper boys anymore. But anyway, he
- 55:43Speaker 3: goes into the huddle and he's like, shut the f up,
- 55:46Speaker 3: let's go. Like he all of a sudden, it's like
- 55:48Speaker 3: Clark Kenton Superman, Like he just turns into a totally
- 55:51Speaker 3: different dude. So, yeah, he's got a ton of respect
- 55:53Speaker 3: on this team.
- 55:54Speaker 1: Yeah, I listen, it's and I think that's I think
- 55:56Speaker 1: there's a similarity with him in Darnold in that regard,
- 55:59Speaker 1: like you know what the perception publicly might be, and
- 56:03Speaker 1: you know is one thing, how is it in the lock? Yeah,
- 56:07Speaker 1: you know when Donald people like I don't know, you know,
- 56:09Speaker 1: dudes buy into him. They bought it into him since
- 56:11Speaker 1: day one when he signed here. Very popular in the
- 56:14Speaker 1: locker room, very much, and I think you know, part
- 56:16Speaker 1: of it here was the Geno act war old pretty quick,
- 56:19Speaker 1: much like Russ at the end. You know, Gino did
- 56:23Speaker 1: Gino stuff that was great for a couple of years,
- 56:25Speaker 1: got his contract and wanted more and became less of
- 56:27Speaker 1: the team guy. This guy's all about that, and you
- 56:29Speaker 1: know he's got stuff to prove. Donald's got stuff to prove.
- 56:31Speaker 1: But I think in terms of the resiliency, I think
- 56:34Speaker 1: there's a lot of similarities there because there's no doubt,
- 56:37Speaker 1: there's no doubt that your guy was not bothered by
- 56:40Speaker 1: by a couple of the turnovers, and by the same token,
- 56:43Speaker 1: when Donald's had those games this year, it doesn't phase him,
- 56:46Speaker 1: like it literally doesn't phase him. He comes out and
- 56:49Speaker 1: part of the the OC and the coach believe in him.
- 56:51Speaker 1: But I think that's big because both those guys are
- 56:54Speaker 1: gonna make mistakes Saturday, like right, But would you agree
- 56:56Speaker 1: both guys are gonna make mistakes on Saturday?
- 56:58Speaker 2: How do you bounce and those guys bounce back? All right?
- 57:01Speaker 1: How many of your knucklehead crazy ass at forty nine
- 57:06Speaker 1: fans are.
- 57:06Speaker 2: Gonna roll up here on Saturday.
- 57:08Speaker 1: Huh what is that?
- 57:09Speaker 2: Why?
- 57:09Speaker 3: I'm sorry to do this right now, But why are
- 57:12Speaker 3: the Seahawks getting accolades for saying that you can't sell
- 57:14Speaker 3: your season ticket? Like? If I buy season tickets and
- 57:17Speaker 3: and I have the tickets and what I do.
- 57:20Speaker 2: It's up to me.
- 57:21Speaker 3: It's up to me. Like, if I want to sell
- 57:23Speaker 3: a ticket and then and then pay for my season
- 57:27Speaker 3: tickets with one playoff ticket game, I'm gonna do it.
- 57:30Speaker 3: Like you're telling me what I can do with my
- 57:32Speaker 3: ticket after I spend thousands of dollars in PSLs all
- 57:35Speaker 3: this stuff, and everything I see online is like, this
- 57:38Speaker 3: is great, what a great organization. I'm not ripping the organization.
- 57:42Speaker 1: I get they justization. What are you talking about? What
- 57:46Speaker 1: are you talking about?
- 57:47Speaker 3: Look, I respect the twelves. What a cool thing, what
- 57:49Speaker 3: a great marketing thing. Give the Seahawks all the credit.
- 57:52Speaker 3: But if I'm buying season tickets for any damn team
- 57:54Speaker 3: and I want to sell a playoff ticket so that
- 57:56Speaker 3: I can then pay for the rest of my season tickets,
- 57:58Speaker 3: because forty nine er fans are in sick and it's
- 58:01Speaker 3: so expensive to live here. They'll pay whatever. Man, I
- 58:04Speaker 3: know that the college football championship game is extremely expensive.
- 58:08Speaker 1: It's in Miami, Miami, right, Yeah, yeah, it's crazy.
- 58:12Speaker 3: So all I'm saying is, look, I get it. And
- 58:14Speaker 3: I know you don't want Niner fans in there, but
- 58:16Speaker 3: they're gonna get in there. And if I sell a
- 58:18Speaker 3: pair of tickets and I can put ten grand in
- 58:20Speaker 3: my pocket, are you insane?
- 58:21Speaker 1: Well, we'll just listen. We'll revisit this next week. I
- 58:25Speaker 1: gotta listen. Well, I mean listen. I know you spent
- 58:27Speaker 1: you spend time on things that are very trivial. You
- 58:29Speaker 1: worried a lot about the lady in Jacksonville giving Liam
- 58:32Speaker 1: Cohen his his flowers. I saw your stuff on Westwood One.
- 58:35Speaker 1: Oh it's fine, it's okay. The only reason you think
- 58:38Speaker 1: that is because A. It's because A you weren't covering
- 58:43Speaker 1: the game. That's why you didn't care. Because it wasn't
- 58:45Speaker 1: I would.
- 58:46Speaker 3: Have screamed better.
- 58:46Speaker 1: I probably you're right in the moment, I would have said,
- 58:49Speaker 1: you would have gone, what the hell? And B because
- 58:51Speaker 1: both you and I covered the same thing. I'll never
- 58:53Speaker 1: forget this. My first time. You had just gone to
- 58:56Speaker 1: wherever one of your hot When I took your job
- 58:58Speaker 1: in Portland many stocks. Yeah, when I took when I
- 59:00Speaker 1: took the job that you left in Portland, and I
- 59:02Speaker 1: go down there the first the first Ducks game I cover,
- 59:05Speaker 1: I going down to auction, I roll in there the
- 59:07Speaker 1: postgame press conference with Blotty with the mustache. And by
- 59:11Speaker 1: the way, he was never the same after he shaved
- 59:13Speaker 1: the mustache. But anyway that I ever the first question
- 59:18Speaker 1: and the second question, a third question come from not
- 59:21Speaker 1: a media member, not the Oregonian beat. Right, No, Phil
- 59:25Speaker 1: flipping night. He gets to ask all the questions. Yeah,
- 59:28Speaker 1: that's why you thought the lady asking the question was fun.
- 59:30Speaker 3: And then they would run out of time, and then
- 59:32Speaker 3: you'd have you'd ask a real football question.
- 59:33Speaker 2: Yeah, we're out of time, Phil, Are you sure Jason
- 59:36Speaker 2: is your quarterback? We can't answer that. We're out of time.
- 59:40Speaker 3: We're out of time, back time, beautiful?
- 59:43Speaker 2: All right, Where can we find you these days? You're

- 1:00:14Speaker 2: I knew it was there.
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: I could just tell by the tinge in her voice.
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: Everybody loves George Kittle.
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: We all love George Kittle, especially when he's not playing.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: We like him even more when he's going to be
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: drink sitting there drinking tequila in his living room on Saturday.

- 1:00:36Speaker 1: We'll come back. Jack to Text.
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: Next from the R and R.
- 1:00:43Speaker 8: Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now back to He and Fornz,
- 1:00:48Speaker 8: powered by Seapple's Closest sports book, Snow Call Me Casino
- 1:00:52Speaker 8: and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ.
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: R F m.
- 1:01:00Speaker 13: Use isn't as great as ten years ago, obviously because
- 1:01:04Speaker 13: it was brand new to us all and I do
- 1:01:06Speaker 13: think we got spoiled. I had season tickets since twenty ten,
- 1:01:11Speaker 13: all the way through two years ago and got rid
- 1:01:14Speaker 13: of them. But I noticed the crowd noise at home
- 1:01:19Speaker 13: games definitely wasn't as loud after we had the Super Bowl,
- 1:01:25Speaker 13: more and more into our rear view mirror.
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: But it is what it is.
- 1:01:30Speaker 15: I honestly think that over the two decades of irrelevancy,
- 1:01:38Speaker 15: we forgot that Seattle's a baseball town.
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: And you're right.
- 1:01:42Speaker 15: After that wild ride we had in September with our
- 1:01:47Speaker 15: baseball team, this run just doesn't feel as special.
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: But I'm all for it. Go Hawks, Let's go win it.
- 1:01:58Speaker 16: I'm calling from the middle part at Kansas and trusts me,
- 1:02:04Speaker 16: good Friday is still a thing, even halfway between the
- 1:02:07Speaker 16: Chiefs and Ruggas Territory. The day before the day of
- 1:02:12Speaker 16: the game, it's one Seahawks gear wearing to work representing
- 1:02:18Speaker 16: the Seahawks.
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: Go Hawks.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: Just stuff there. But that was interesting.
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: The we're a baseball town thing, We're whatever the wind
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: blows town thing.
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: That's what we are.
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: It depends on the day of the week, depends the
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: time of the year, depends on who's having success. A
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: lot of times, are any nobody in the baseball stadium.
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: They're not very good, right, It's whatever we are that day.
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: So I would just I would disagree with that. I
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: think we're I think we're a whatever is doing well
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: kind of town. Although the Seahawks are pretty consistent in
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: terms of people watching and going. Again, it's one day
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: a week is supposed to versus MLB. A lot of
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: things different with it. But I thought the Blue Friday thing,
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: I'll get a couple of Texas saying we're gonnay, you're
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: gonna say something.
- 1:03:05Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I was just gonna say, do you think
- 1:03:07Speaker 6: that would change? Like the whole we are a baseball town,
- 1:03:10Speaker 6: and like I get the hype level around the Mariners
- 1:03:12Speaker 6: run was probably a little bit more than in the
- 1:03:14Speaker 6: Seahawks right now. Do you think that would ever change
- 1:03:16Speaker 6: if they won one? Do you think it would Connors?
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:03:19Speaker 6: Do you think if they die would die down a
- 1:03:21Speaker 6: little bit? Because it wouldn't be the new thing anymore.
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: I can't even go there, man, I'm not complaining obviously
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: I can't even go there.
- 1:03:30Speaker 17: I know, I'm sure.
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: Maybe I hope, I hope, I hope you can ask
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: me that question. I haven't asked hopefully too. Let me
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: read a couple of emails before we get back to
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: the tax okay or the talk back Sanders yep, two
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: f three there wasn't. There wasn't emails going out in
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen to season ticket holders not to
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: sell your tickets either.
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: It's interesting, Yeah, there was five or nine.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: There's juice, but right now not quite as much as
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: twenty twelve to fifty to fifteen. But if they get
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: to the NSC Championship, I expect the Jews to fully
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: return region why. I can see that three six zero.
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: We're totally excited because it's a new set of stars.
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: Baseball is unique and how it's day to day. We
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: expect twelve wild games. Football is one and done in
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: a week. To think about it, that's true right far away.
- 1:04:16Speaker 7: I think if the Carrol Years was a ten out
- 1:04:18Speaker 7: of ten for fan excitement, I put this out.
- 1:04:20Speaker 10: A nine out of ten.
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: I really think everyone's fired up.
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: I mean, my fifteen year old daughter, who's a casual
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: football fan says.
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: Dan, can we go to the game? Can we go
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: to the game?
- 1:04:31Speaker 9: And I'm like, I think I was planning on selling
- 1:04:34Speaker 9: my tickets, to be honest, but nope, We're going.
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: We got to enjoy this moment. And I think it's
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: really up there in terms of fan excitement.
- 1:04:44Speaker 18: The reason I'm not super jacked about the current Seahawks team,
- 1:04:48Speaker 18: even though number one seed home field advantage, is because
- 1:04:53Speaker 18: I don't know who the players are. Previous seasons, the
- 1:04:58Speaker 18: players where they year after the year, I got to
- 1:05:01Speaker 18: know them, I got invested in them. I don't know
- 1:05:04Speaker 18: if the best guys are.
- 1:05:07Speaker 14: HI guys fifty years Seahawks and Mariners fan here, grew
- 1:05:10Speaker 14: up in Seattle, live in Oregon, listen on the app
- 1:05:13Speaker 14: every day. I am absolutely stoked about the Seahawks team.
- 1:05:17Speaker 14: I'm at least at a nine. I love the team.
- 1:05:19Speaker 14: I love Mike McDonald and his leadership style, his defensive
- 1:05:23Speaker 14: genius process over results. I'm absolutely pumped for not just
- 1:05:29Speaker 14: the rest of the season, but for seasons to come.
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: I like it.
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: The guy that said.
- 1:05:38Speaker 4: It was a second second, he doesn't know the players.
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: He doesn't know the players. I think it's I can't
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: speak for anybody else. I would just I would probably
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: we mentioned this earlier. It's not the same.
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: There's less name value, there's not as much bravado as
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: there was before.
- 1:05:56Speaker 7: There's also a lot of strength in the youth, Like
- 1:05:58Speaker 7: you haven't had the opportunity to get to.
- 1:06:00Speaker 4: Know these guys, a lot of them.
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: Yeah, js N third year right, Nior is a rookie.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: There's a third year guy.
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: Yep.
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean so you got that kind of going.
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: I think there's just it's a different personality these guys.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: These guys are not look at me and this isn't
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: and it's not a bad this is not a criticism
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl teams.
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: But they were looking at me.
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: They're cocky and I'm not saying like they were. And
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: they were very outspoken, Yes, very very outspoken. Look at
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: us here we are. Yeah, these guys are more head down.
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: I'm gonna do my job and we're gonna dominate you.
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: I think they're more of a reflection of the coach.
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: I totally agree, me too. I think that's part of it.
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: But yeah, we have a couple more. Yeah, I just
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: have a text real quick that I'm interested in hearing
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: your response.
- 1:06:45Speaker 5: Yes.
- 1:06:46Speaker 6: The read for this subdued passion is also due to
- 1:06:48Speaker 6: the fact that they are probably the most flawed and
- 1:06:51Speaker 6: lucky fourteen and three team in the history of the NFL.
- 1:06:54Speaker 6: If everyone is healthy, they are, without question, only the
- 1:06:57Speaker 6: third best team in the division, let alone the NFC.
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing that they weren't healthy all year either.
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: Now, they didn't have season ending injuries that were catastrophic
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: like the forty nine ers did. Certainly that the Rams
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: are relatively healthy.
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: Are they not? Yeah, I'd say almost everyone.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: I think they've been healthy. I mean Davante missed a
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: game or two, and the PUCA maybe missed one.
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: I mean Seattle had guys missing games this year. Ernest
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: Jones missed games, Devin Witherspoon mission like Nick evenmore, they
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: haven't had their two healthy safeties play a game, and
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: I think they've played like eight snaps together. So Bryant,
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: he'be Bryant, Julian Charles Cross. Let's go through the list.
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: Jaylen Sundell missed a a couple of games, right starting
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: center did. Yeah, there's been guys. Your number two tight
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: end Arroyo misses a bunch of time Lawrence missed a game,
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: your number two wide receiver has missed most of the year.
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: Because the number two wide receivers shouldn't have been Cooper
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: Cup your in factor, your number two receiver ends up
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: being a j Barner. But Tory Horton's been out all
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: the year. Right, everyone has injuries, not to the extent
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: of San Francisco. But it's not like Seattle has been
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: a healthy team this year by any stretch of the imagination.
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: One more, two more, what do you got?
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: Actually? Four more?
- 1:08:17Speaker 17: Fire away guys, Chippy here, I will tell you what
- 1:08:20Speaker 17: the Seahawks rue is like. This is so unexpected. This
- 1:08:22Speaker 17: is like when you have a crush on a girl
- 1:08:23Speaker 17: that's wait of your league. So anytime I've ever liked
- 1:08:25Speaker 17: a female and then she asks you out and you're like,
- 1:08:28Speaker 17: well that doesn't make any sense, but hell, I'm gonna
- 1:08:30Speaker 17: roll with it. No guarantees are gonna get married and
- 1:08:32Speaker 17: live happily ever after. But my god, you have a shot.
- 1:08:35Speaker 17: The Seahawks do even have a chance at the Super Bowl,
- 1:08:38Speaker 17: let alone be the favorites. I can't believe this. I'm
- 1:08:42Speaker 17: just enjoying every second. I can't sleep, I can't eat,
- 1:08:44Speaker 17: I'm counting on the seconds, the hours go Hawks, I
- 1:08:46Speaker 17: cannot wait.
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: Okay, save that, Save that for the next segment.
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: I like that one.
- 1:08:52Speaker 19: I have a message in my phone that I sent
- 1:08:56Speaker 19: to a friend of mine before this, before I even
- 1:08:59Speaker 19: try camp started the Seahawks. We're gonna wellly lose three
- 1:09:05Speaker 19: games and can go to the Super Bowl and win
- 1:09:08Speaker 19: the Super Bowl.
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: So been on top of it.
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: I'd say I'm at about a seven in each game
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: they win.
- 1:09:15Speaker 20: It'll probably go up a notch, but I don't think
- 1:09:16Speaker 20: it'll quite get to where we were with the Mariners,
- 1:09:18Speaker 20: because we were looking at the first time, as said
- 1:09:20Speaker 20: the Mayor's getting into the World Series, just like in
- 1:09:23Speaker 20: twenty thirteen, the Seahawks first time getting a Super Bowl
- 1:09:26Speaker 20: or winning a Super Bowl.
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: I should say so, it's just different. But I will
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: say that the energy is not quite the same.
- 1:09:33Speaker 20: Everybody works from home on Fridays anyway, even if you're
- 1:09:36Speaker 20: back to office, everybody's home Fridays, so you just don't
- 1:09:38Speaker 20: see blue Fridays. But I don't see jerseys around town either,
- 1:09:41Speaker 20: So energy is different.
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: A couple of texts four nine four five One haven't
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: heard the term blue Friday in years hope people have
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: mentioned that, you know what, here's what we'll do. We'll
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: talk to Softy about that. Also, you save that last
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: that one talk right for Dave. Okay, we'll play that
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: coming back. All right, here we go, DA have something
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: Malller's here. I gotta I want you to listen to
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: this thing. It's not as much if I don't want
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: to listen to And then you know what, I'm getting
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: tired of being told what to do around here.
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: Man.
- 1:10:21Speaker 21: All right, I get told what to do when I
- 1:10:22Speaker 21: got home at seven o'clock, and I won't have it
- 1:10:24Speaker 21: happen here.
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: All right, golly, take a listen this way. Wait, you
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: get home at seven o'clock. Your show ends at seven o'clock.
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: Shot up, Jack.
- 1:10:32Speaker 4: That was supposed to happen to.
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: This is Jack. This is not necessarily about the content.
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: I just want you to listen to. Just listen.
- 1:10:40Speaker 17: Take a listen, guys, Chippy er, I will tell you
- 1:10:42Speaker 17: what the Seahawks rue is like. This is so unexpected.
- 1:10:44Speaker 17: This is like when you have a crush on a
- 1:10:46Speaker 17: girl that's way of your league. So anytime I've ever
- 1:10:48Speaker 17: liked a female and then she asks you out and
- 1:10:50Speaker 17: you're like, well, that doesn't make any sense, but hell,
- 1:10:52Speaker 17: I'm gonna roll with it. No guarantees you're gonna get
- 1:10:54Speaker 17: married and live happily ever after. But my god, you
- 1:10:56Speaker 17: have a shot the Seahawks to even have a chance
- 1:11:00Speaker 17: at the super Bowl, let alone be the favorites. I
- 1:11:03Speaker 17: can't believe this. I'm just enjoying every second. I can't sleep,
- 1:11:06Speaker 17: I can't eat. I'm counting on the seconds, the hours
- 1:11:08Speaker 17: go Hawks, I cannot wait.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: Okay, I think he's back. Who does that sound like?
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: I'll give you HNT. The other thing missing was talking
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: about soccer formation.
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you, man.
- 1:11:20Speaker 21: Once I heard the whole thing about sex for the
- 1:11:22Speaker 21: hot check or whatever the hell that was, I just
- 1:11:25Speaker 21: kind of zoned out. I don't know if you would
- 1:11:27Speaker 21: have told me, I'm supposed to listen for the voice.
- 1:11:30Speaker 21: That's why I told you, so don't listen to what
- 1:11:32Speaker 21: he's saying. But see the problem with that is that
- 1:11:34Speaker 21: I treated that like I kind of do your show.
- 1:11:36Speaker 21: I just don't really listen.
- 1:11:38Speaker 4: You want to hear it again?
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: Yeah, I play against again.
- 1:11:41Speaker 17: Guy's chippy er. I will tell you what the Seahawks
- 1:11:42Speaker 17: one is like. This is so unexpected.
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: This is like when.
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: Exactly like Jackson, is this the guy calling back? This
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: was we've been waiting for that. Here's what you should do.
- 1:11:53Speaker 21: Get the get the script of that, and have Jackson
- 1:11:56Speaker 21: read it verbatim and then compare him together.
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: Here's the problem.
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: Okay, the last time we played that, yeah, and I
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: think it was the same guy, and we said, who
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: does this sound like?
- 1:12:05Speaker 8: Right?
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: And what happened?
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: Every one of us went jack to Jay except for
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: the guy that it sounds like. He goes, I don't
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: know what are you talking about himself?
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: Like me at all? Well, it's not an insult.
- 1:12:14Speaker 4: People's voices sound different like your.
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: Voice sounds like the elephant man.
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: Or it's the same tone he got, he got a
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: little little frazzled there, same pace.
- 1:12:27Speaker 21: With a wacky analogy. Right, what the hell talking about
- 1:12:30Speaker 21: girlfriends and sex and coming for nine years?
- 1:12:36Speaker 3: Nine years?
- 1:12:36Speaker 21: Listen, I've been with Gina for twenty five years now.
- 1:12:39Speaker 21: If she looks at me, it's a victory. Okay, So
- 1:12:41Speaker 21: what twenty five?
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: Well, we've been together for longer than we've been married.
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: You know that, right.
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: We moved in together five years before we got married. Oh, Okay,
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: so I've.
- 1:12:50Speaker 21: Technically been married quote unquote for almost twenty five years.
- 1:12:54Speaker 21: When you move in with a girl, you know this, right,
- 1:12:56Speaker 21: you're done, forget it. You're married, all right, he tells
- 1:12:59Speaker 21: you a little bit, you put your pom a jar,
- 1:13:01Speaker 21: and you're done.
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: How many times you live with a woman, I live
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: with a woman.
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: Just twice? Yeah, twice? Yeah, yeah, okay twice.
- 1:13:09Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: I mean you've bet five hundred. Yeah, it's bad, pretty good.
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: Take that all date baseball. Get me in the Hall
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: of Fame, man, totally.
- 1:13:16Speaker 21: That's difference between me and you and you back there,
- 1:13:19Speaker 21: Andrews is I had a practice around.
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: You guys did not. Yeah, I needed a preseason game.
- 1:13:24Speaker 21: You guys just three seasons you guys sat out. Well
- 1:13:27Speaker 21: that's why I got the worst, and that's why I
- 1:13:30Speaker 21: hate the preseason. Sat out the regular season, like Sam,
- 1:13:34Speaker 21: just jump right in and you playing.
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: Well, that's pretty much.
- 1:13:37Speaker 8: Well.
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: I waited, how old were you when you get married
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: the second time?
- 1:13:39Speaker 17: Ah?
- 1:13:40Speaker 5: What is this?
- 1:13:41Speaker 21: Twenty twenty six? Those two thousand and nine was thirty
- 1:13:47Speaker 21: four years old?
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: Thirty three?
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: I I mean, I wait until twenty seventy four, I
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: got I had a preseason up till twenty maybe thirty five.
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: More like you know what, a bunch of intersquad scrimmages.
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what. I have a lot of inter sweat
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: scream just along the way.
- 1:14:01Speaker 21: You had a lot of practice rounds before the Masters,
- 1:14:04Speaker 21: that's right, a lot of Wednesday afternoons for Igan Furness.
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: When I know it's two thousand, I know it's two
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: thousand and nine because it was a year after Alex
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: brings through the touchdown pass. Yeah, and some the seating
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: chart had me right there on that same spot on
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: the field, and I said something. Elders a cast and
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: was sitting next to me, and he's like, he's like,
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: look at this. How great is it to be sitting
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: right here at Husky Stadium? I said, you mean right
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: here where Alex brings through the touchdown pastor Van and
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: Gibson last year.
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:14:28Speaker 21: I don't know if he's talked to me, since I
- 1:14:30Speaker 21: don't think he has. That's like one of like one
- 1:14:32Speaker 21: memory you've got in the stadium. But here's Elders.
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: Hang on to it.
- 1:14:35Speaker 21: Eldridge. Eldridge has like no sense of humor with us.
- 1:14:38Speaker 21: You gotta be careful around Eldridge.
- 1:14:40Speaker 5: You know that.
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: Got to be careful. You know, I'm looking at this
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: screen here.
- 1:14:45Speaker 21: We had this little webcam or whatever the hell it
- 1:14:47Speaker 21: is that we've had in here for three years, and
- 1:14:48Speaker 21: nobody knows how to use it.
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: And I'm looking at myself right now on this screen. Guy,
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: I am an ugly bastard.
- 1:14:53Speaker 3: Man.
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: It looks like the spawn of peewee herman. My god.
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: But here's a problem. It doesn't matter. Jeezus, you put
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: your you know what's in the jar a couple of
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: years sooner or late.
- 1:15:03Speaker 21: Yeah, But I'm saying, if they put us on YouTube
- 1:15:05Speaker 21: like they're talking about doing, people want to see us
- 1:15:08Speaker 21: on YouTube.
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: Hey, maybe they want to see Jess, but not me.
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: We moved into this studio six years ago.

- 1:15:16Speaker 2: Twenty?
- 1:15:16Speaker 5: No?

- 1:15:36Speaker 1: at least three at least three years. Yes, do you
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: think it's gonna happen anytime soon? I hope not, because God,
